Andrew Ference doesn't just look good on the ice, he looks great off the ice, according to Boston.com. Ference was named one of the most stylish Bostonians this year. The Bruins defenseman and Celtics president Rich Gotham were the only two on the list with sports ties. The writers got Ference to admit what he likes to wear on the weekends. "Honestly, a lot of the things I wear are because I grew up as a punk, skateboard, snowboarding kid," he explained. "I still buy Volcom jeans, and most of the casual pieces I wear are active brands." Check out some of Ference's Twitter pictures to get an idea of his style. "@lex_luthaa: @Ferknuckle of all your tattoos, which is your favorite/most meaningful?"

Some defining moments happened last week. We lost Nelson Mandela. We heard The Guardian editor defending his paper in exposing the overreach of spying agencies before the British Parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee. We witnessed Japan passing a draconian state secrecy law. Both as a journalist and as an ombudsman of this newspaper, my primary concern is about high quality journalism that is not fettered by either internal inadequacies and an external environment. My recent columns have dealt with some of the internal shortcomings. The time has come to zoom out and look critically at a new reality that has the potential to render journalism vulnerable.
While the attempts to tame the press are global, they could not take away the spirit of freedom, resistance and the commitment to tell the truth from journalists. Carl Bernstein, icon of Watergate reporting, wrote a personal letter to The Guardian editor, Alan Rusbridger, hours before his deposition. Without mincing words, Bernstein contended: "your appearance before the Commons today strikes me as something quite different in purpose and dangerously pernicious: an attempt by the highest U.K. authorities to shift the issue from government policies and excessive government secrecy in the United States and Great Britain to the conduct of the press — which has been quite admirable and responsible in the case of The Guardian, particularly, and the way it has handled information initially provided by Mr. Snowden."
Demonising truth telling
The chair of the house committee, Keith Vaz, dangerously inserted the idea of an uncritical patriotism into the narrative during the deposition. He asked Rusbridger: "You and I were both born outside this country, but I love this country. Do you love this country?" Rusbridger's answer was at once specific and universal: "I'm slightly surprised to be asked the question but, yes, we are patriots and one of the things we are patriotic about is the nature of democracy, the nature of a free press and the fact that one can, in this country, discuss and report these things."
One fact which emerged from the home affairs committee inquiry is that the state has no legitimate reason to spy on its citizens, that nationalism and security were invoked to gloss over the overreach and undemocratic behaviour of the state apparatus, and to demonise the act of truth telling. The sense of purpose and pride in journalism does not lie in dealing only with what is acceptable to the powers that be, but in relentlessly bringing out the uncomfortable truths. Journalists are as concerned as nation-states about the safety and security of the people.
Last Friday, Japan enacted a new law under which officials who leak "special state secrets" and journalists who seek to obtain them could face prison. The law allows heads of ministries and agencies to classify 23 vaguely worded types of information related to defence, diplomacy, counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism, almost indefinitely. Top officials in all ministries — rather than only defence officials as currently — will be able to designate state secrets for five years, renewable in five-year increments and potentially indefinitely, although cabinet approval would be required after 30 years.
According to agency reports, older Japanese intellectuals, lawyers and activists fear the country could be edging toward the sort of repression of a free press and speech seen before and during World War II which resulted in the arrests of tens of thousands of people. Thousands of protesters turned out to rally against the legislation. The law mandates prison terms of up to 10 years for government officials who leak secrets. Journalists who get information in an "inappropriate" or "wrong" way could be jailed for up to five years. It bans attempted leaks, inappropriate reporting, complicity and solicitation.
Liberal democracies shouldn't do this
If liberal democracies like the United Kingdom and Japan are reneging on their commitment to free speech and press, and can come up with punitive legislation and infringing parliamentary practices, I shudder to think what lessons illiberal regimes may adopt over the next few years. It is in this context, I feel the passing away of Mandela has poignant meaning. The only way most of the nation states can pay homage to this extraordinary human being, who spent his entire life espousing the cause of freedom and human dignity, is to refrain from enacting any law that places restrictions on the watchdog role of the media.
This is also the centenary year of Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel Prize. It is worth remembering what he wrote on December 31, 1899:
"The hungry self of the Nation shall burst in a violence of fury from its own shameless feeding.
For it has made the world its food, and licking it, crunching it and swallowing it in big morsels,
It swells and swells till in the midst of its unholy feast descends the sudden shaft of heaven piercing its heart of grossness."

Three constables allegedly involved in the murder were arrested earlier
LUCKNOW: BJP leader and former Deputy Mayor Abhay Seth and ex-Corporator Ashok Mishra were arrested here in a 13-year-old murder case.
Following a tip off, the two were arrested from separate hospitals on Wednesday where they claimed they were undergoing treatment, police said on Thursday.
Seth and Mishra are accused of murdering one Gopal Mishra in 1994 with the help of the police. A probe revealed that Gopal was gunned down by the police at the behest of of the two.
Police had to table a compliance report on Thursday before a city court which had ordered attaching of their properties as the two were evading arrest. Three constables allegedly involved in the murder were arrested earlier.
Seth had been the deputy mayor of the city and is said to have contacts with the senior party leaders. His presence on stage with former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee during an election meeting of local bodies elections last year had led to a controversy with the party later claiming that it was not aware of his alleged criminal antecedents.- PTI

Snapping its four-day losing streak, the BSE benchmark Sensex on Tuesday rebounded 473 points amid firm global trend and a proposal to cut the Securities Transaction Tax (STT).
The Sensex, which had lost 1,050 points in last four trading sessions, bounced back 472.93 points to 16,524.03 as investors pinned hopes on renewed efforts by European policymakers to find a way to cut Greece's debt.
Market sentiment also improved on reports that the government is considering some tax cuts on securities transactions, and fresh inflow of foreign funds.
The broad-based NSE index Nifty rose 135.65 points to 4,971.25 led by stocks of realty, IT and refinery sectors.
Barring Cipla, all 30 Sensex stocks closed with small to handsome gains. The Sensex dropped 20 per cent this year on concern of Europe's debt crisis and slowing economic growth in the U.S. might worsen.
The two heaviest on the benchmark, with 20 per cent weight — Reliance Industries and Infosys — ended with notable gains. RIL spurted 5.09 per cent and Infosys by 3.86 per cent.
Tata Motors also rose 5.92 per cent.

ACM SIGGRAPH announced the program for the Computer Animation Festival for SIGGRAPH 2005, the 32nd International Conference on Computer Graphics & Interactive Techniques, being held July 31 to Aug. 4 in Los Angeles, California. The Computer Animation Festival jury chose 68 selections from 560 entries for exemplary use of computer-generated imagery and compelling storytelling. This year marks the first two-time winner (Tomek Baginski) in the SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival history. Additionally, there are 38 international selections, 11 scientific and 26 student pieces in the Festival.
"We are thrilled that student submissions continue to exceed our expectations, as evidenced by the fact that two of our three award winners are students, said Samuel Lord Black, a long-time SIGGRAPH volunteer and the 2005 chair of the Computer Animation Festival. International participation also is outstanding, as more than half of the show comes from outside the United States, with France (particularly French students) making an especially strong showing
"In 2005, we made a special outreach to highlight the scientific visualization community. Our industry's roots are in this field and I have long thought that there should be a stronger scientific representation in the Animation Festival. The outreach effort paid off in the form of excellent scientific submissions. In fact, the scientific pieces had the highest acceptance rate of all categories.
Highlights include:
*9 (Best of Show)Shane AckerU.S.
A mechanical beast attacks two rag doll creatures as they scavenge the ruins of their world. After witnessing the death of his mentor 5, the rag doll 9 must call on all its courage and confront this vile creature alone. Only through cunning and the use of his primitive technology can 9 hope to destroy the monster and steal the talisman of trapped souls it carries as a trophy.
*FALLEN ART (Jury Honors)Tomek BaginskiPlatige ImagePoland
The scene is a decaying, forgotten military base in the Pacific where soldiers who have lost their minds due to the hardships of war have gathered to complete one final mission. The main characters include Sergeant Al who cultivates his love for the brave soldiers; Dr. Friedrich who cultivates his talent for photography; and the mentally lost General A, who creates his art not through paper or canvas, but something completely surprising and different.
*LA MIGRATION BIGOUDENN (Jury Honors)Eric Castaing, Alexandre Heboyan, Fafah TogoraGobelins, l'école de l'imageFrance
A gathering of Brittany ladies in traditional dress compete in a contest to cook the Breton specialty of crêpes of an ethereal lightness in a mystifying and enthralling storyline.
*AWKWARDCesar KuriyamaPratt InstituteU.S.
When boredom strikes three friends with nothing to do and brain cells to kill, the answer arrives in the form of delightful beer. Sadly for our trio, a sudden and unwelcome discovery turns their night of fun, games and chummy drunkenness into a humiliating fiasco.
*CUBIC TRAGEDYMing-Yuan ChuanNational Taiwan University of Science and TechnologyTaiwan
A polygonian girl tries to make herself prettier by using her new cosmetic tools (for polygon modeling of course), and by doing so accidentally ruins her own face. This tragedy may have inspired one of the worlds most famous paintings.
*East End ZombiesDamian HookNCCA Bournemouth UniversityU.K.
The scene is Londons East End, where a herd of zombies are invading and creating chaos. The only hope is for our hero to save the day. This animation was created using Maya and Shake under Red Hat ES Linux. The short story is written by Ed Clayton and narrated by Jan Weddup. The short is animated using a quirky caricature style technique while the action takes place in a carefully staged 3D environment.

*LOVE LETTERSJeff PaulArt Institute of California -San FranciscoU.S.
The creator of the piece, Paul, explains, I produced this animation as a way of proposing to my girlfriend. I assembled a team of 20 animators to assist me, including co-workers and students from my 3D character animation class at the Art Institute of CaliforniaSan Francisco. We created more than four minutes of animation in just three months. When it was completed, I surprised my girlfriend by bringing her to a local theater where they played the animation on the big screen in front of over 100 of our friends and family. The entire event was filmed for the TLC television show PERFECT PROPOSAL. The animation was created in Maya and edited in After Effects.
*MODIS DAILY GLOBAL SNOW COVER AND SEA ICE SURFACE TEMPERATUREDorothy HallNASA Goddard Space Flight CenterU.S.
A highly technical piece showing the Northern Hemisphere portraying data collected via daily MODIS satellite images acquired during the winter of 2002-2003. Darkness increases with the onset of autumn, reaching a maximum at the Winter Solstice on 21 December. Thereafter, the circle of darkness shrinks as the period of daylight increases. Daily changes in sea ice are shown as ice-surface temperature. The snow tracks of several winter storms across the U.S. can be clearly seen. Snow from such storms may melt quickly, or linger for weeks.
*MADAGASCAR Technical ReelPhilippe GluckmanDreamWorks AnimationU.S.
The piece is a three-minute showcase of technical achievement in the making of MADAGASCAR. It includes four key areas of production: extreme character deformations using the latest developments in rigging systems; squash-and-stretch 3D character animation; sand and fire effects; and major effects systems such as the ocean, jungle and integration and variations of furry crowds.
*CHOHONEunju Kim, Jung Sun Choi, Junsang Yoon, Kinam Kim, Youngju Park, Youno ParkChung-Ang UniversitySouth Korea

The simulation and visualization of tornadogenesis recreates a super-twister similar to one that ripped through Manchester, South Dakota, in 2003. The initial conditions were seeded with recorded pre-storm physical conditions near Manchester. The digital thunderstorm simulates the actual physical eruption and growth of the deadly tornado.
*THE ZITMike BlumPipsqueak FilmsU.S.
Timmy, a young boy preparing for the big school dance, is forced to deal with his first pimple problem and what a problem it is!

ARLINGTON A number of businesses have offices at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. It's some of the most expensive property in North Texas, a prime location that provides a spectacular view from centerfield.
But Major League Baseball is telling those businesses they'll have to pay extra if they want to watch the Rangers take on the Tampa Bay Rays from their balconies on Saturday.
Some of the ballpark tenants were planning to bring in 70-80 friends and clients for the game, and tenants said they've never before had to pay to watch a game until now.
David D'Aquin opened his jewelry business in the Ballpark office tower in 1994 so he could be closer to the game he loved. I'm a baseball fan; that's why I moved in, he said.
D'Aquin said he's entertained clients at his office for more than 15 years. There should be no bill, he said. Someone needs to read the fine print from the Rangers and let MLB know this is not their jurisdiction.
But the bill landed on tenant desks Monday morning along with a memo saying that Major League Baseball now considers their balconies to be part of the stadium, and says anyone who watches a playoff game from that perch must have a ticket.
It appears to be a big money grab by major league baseball, said office tenant Charles Elhoff, who asserts that those who have offices in the centerfield tower have never been charged for tickets before, including any of the playoff games in the 1990s or the when the Ballpark hosted the All-Star Game in 1995.
You're normally planning on inviting some people up, he said. Now all of sudden you'll have to write a significant check for the various people you invite up.
With dozens on the list, it could cost a few thousand dollars for each office just for Saturday's playoff game, and the price goes up the longer the Rangers are contending.
You are guaranteed the space, but the space doesn't guarantee the view, said Rob Matwick, vice president of ballpark operations. Baseball has said if people are going to watch the games, then they need to pay for them like everyone else.
But tenants says the move by Major League Baseball violates their lease. Some are discussing a challenge to the decision.
If you are hoping to watch the Rangers in action Saturday and don't have tickets yet, good luck. The team says they have only a few standing room only tickets available for $25 along with some obstructed view seats for $30 to $75.

Eau de Autumn
As temperatures shift and workdays get longer, my lips inevitably suffer. Sooner or later there comes a point where most standard lip balms just don't cut it—in fact, they seem to worsen the problem—and I turn to these heavenly salves.
Nars Fling Lip Kit; $49 (available November 1st)
Don't let the name deceive you—this stuff is a lot more impressive than just dabbing some extra virgin olive oil on your lips. The delivery is also genius—you pump out the perfect portion of a thick glossy "oil" and then massage in with a cooling (and chic) gold tip. This stuff is perfect as a last step to your skincare routine before bed. It also manages to smell like a spa, but not taste like one.

Filner recall effort building momentum
Businesswomen organizing "Freedom from Filner" march
Laing, the recall spokeswoman, said details will be provided soon as to when and where people can go to sign the petition. The website will eventually include a searchable map that allows users to type in their address to find the nearest location to sign the petition.
The recall movement is also starting to see money flow in. Laing said the fundraising total has topped six figures for an effort many expect will cost between $500,000 and $1 million. She said other donors are lining up to contribute in large part because of the mayor's recent actions.
"It helps that there is zero indication from the office of the mayor that he has any intention of resigning," Laing said. "We're going to have to pull him out of there with the cane. We're going to have to drag him kicking and screaming apparently. He doesn't seem to have any intention of resigning and, because of that, it's getting more people willing to step forward."
Filner has steadfastly refused to resign despite the legal and political maelstrom surrounding him. He's been out of the public spotlight since July 26 and his prepared statements since have focused on his policy initiatives and ignored the controversy.
The recall campaign also made some changes Wednesday as one of its three co-chairs, housewife Elisa Brent, stepped down from her leadership post. She plans to continue helping the recall effort by coordinating volunteers but had "interpersonal tension" with co-chairman Michael Pallamary, Laing said.

Whitaker: sketchbook and Reverie workshop
Im going to be at the Reverie workshop and I want to make a positive contribution. Checking the forum, I find that this sketchbook section attracts the most viewers so I thought Id say a few things here.
Drawing is everything. When I was sixteen, I made over 400 drawings during that winter and spring. I drew mostly with a 2B pencil on typewriter paper. I drew during every spare moment. Im heartened when I see your sketchbooks and see the way youre always drawing at the Concept workshops. You remind me of me. When I was teaching university, I was disheartened by students who hadnt paid their drawing dues, for unless you practice, you simply dont know how to make lovely lines.
If you draw well, then sculpting, painting, Photoshop, Painter, everything else is relatively easy.
I wish Id done more serious copying. Really accurate serious copying! Back in the dark ages of the 20th century, copying was discouraged. We had to be original! Very stupid. The old masters learned by copying. Art museums were originally set up so art students could copy master works. If you are moved by something, copy it! That way youll get your mind inside your inspiration and youll learn much faster.
Indulge yourselves. Let your art lead you. This field is so hard, that unless you have fun all the time, youll give up. Its nice to have lots of talent, but talent alone is very overrated. Endless practice is everything.
Reverie will be filled with wonderfully talented teachers whove allowed their art to take them in all kinds of directions. Youll see some very advanced stuff going on. Massive Black has invited me to the workshop because of my painting specialty, but I really want to work with people on basics. I hope I can be there for those of you who have questions. I hope I can work with you one-on-one and help make this a worthwhile experience. We are all learning. It's good to get together and share. If I can help anybody, please know that I dont believe there are any dumb questions.
Now to let me belong here, I've attached a few drawings.

I've never felt right about copying other people's work even for practice, but I think my art suffers for that.
I'm going to open a new sketchbook just to do copies in.

These heads are all small -one to three inches high.

I had an Endoscopy a month ago and was very scared; as soon as i got in i was brought in the back, as she works in a private clinic, there i was given a bed and was prepped for the procedure. I had opted for being put to sleep during the Endoscopy, the nurse was very nice and hooked up my IV very quickly and kept me calm as i am also afraid of needles. Dr. Baffis came in and explained everything once more and how long it would take then i went in. Within three minutes i was out and the procedure went fine. Half way through i had woken up, because i tend to burn off most medications and drugs quickly. I was given something close to ativan so i was not panicked and she talked to me to keep me calm then i went back to sleep. When i woke up my mum came in and i was given a muffin and orange juice. Then walked out about 30 min later because they have to keep an eye on you for a little while. Overall she is amazing at what she does, super nice, reassuring and very proffessional. Funny too.

I was so afraid of colonoscopy that I wanted only a sigmoidoscopy done knowing also that most bowel polyps and colorectal cancers are apparently developing in the rectum, sigmoid colon or lower descending colon. However, for medical reasons, the day of my sigmoidoscopy, I have accepted that Dr. Baffis looks as far as possible into my colon and she was able to reach the end of the transverse colon. Because this examination went so well, I have then decided to complete the colonoscopy a week later and my entire colon was examined to the cecum. To my great joy absolutely nothing was found. I have never felt any pain, cramping or some discomfort during and after both procedures. Needless to say that Dr. Baffis is very highly competent. She is also absolutely adorable and respectful. I was so lucky to have been able to retain her services through MD Specialists of Westmount Square. Thank you so much Dr. Baffis! Thank you also to the nurses and staff who were all very nice. S. Leblanc

Both in February 2013, endoscopy and colonoscopy. Excellent professional service without the need for any medication (I chose not to be sedated which was more than fine and quite easily bearable). Wonderful doctor. Caring, patient, personable, knowledgeable and great sense of humour.

Dr Baffis is concerned, caring and compasionate. After 2 months of getting the royal runaround and the brush-off from his oncologist my husband finally saw Dr. Baffis at a private clinic. It was worth every penny just to have someone listen and offer hope. She treated both my husband and I with respect and kindness. She inspires confidence and trust. The MGH is lucky to have such a wonderful physician - she should be held up as role model for their staff.

I think Dr Baffis is an amazing gastroenterologist. She is kind and caring.It takes too long to see her. I had to wait almost 5 months for an appointment. When you are feeling ill and need a specialist to asess if the problem is urgent, this is too long of a wait.

Louisville Cardinals guard Russ Smith dribbles against Miami (OH) Redhawks forward Jon Harris during the first half at the KFC Yum! Center. / Jamie Rhodes, US Presswire
The University of Louisville won't always shoot as well as it did in the first half against Miami of Ohio on Sunday. On the occasions when the Cardinals do, it will likely result in a beatdown similar to Sunday's 80-39 win over the RedHawks.
No. 2 U of L (3-0) made nine 3-pointers in the first half as it jumped out to a 22-point lead. The Cards, who entered the game shooting just 24 percent from behind the arc, made 12 of 26 of their 3-point attempts.
"I've heard all the things about them not making shots, and I think it's interesting that everybody's saying that," Miami coach John Cooper said. "One of the things that they have created is that they've been able to win games without making shots. So now when you start making shots, it makes you almost a dual-headed monster."
Cooper tried to play zone early with the hopes that it would keep them in the game at the start. It actually made things worse for the RedHawks (1-2) because with every made shot the Cards were able to get into their full-court pressure.
U of L junior guard Russ Smith said it was bound to happen eventually.
"We're not just going to not make shots," Smith said. "Everybody's a scorer on the team. Everybody works hard. Everybody shoots the ball. And if you shoot with confidence, the next one is hopefully going to go in. You're not going to keep missing them; eventually something is going to drop, especially if they're good shots."
Smith set the tone for the Cards from the perimeter, making four of his first five 3-pointers and setting a personal best with a total of five. The junior guard had 14 of his 23 points in the first half.
But Smith, who leads the team by shooting 48 percent from 3-point range, has been playing that way this season. The Cards had a few other players contribute from the perimeter, too.
Peyton Siva, who entered 1 of 7 for the season from 3-point range, made 2 of 3 attempts. Wayne Blackshear, who entered 2 of 13, made 4 of 7 attempts and finished with a career-high 14 points.
During one span in the first half, four U of L players combined to make seven 3-pointers, turning a 7-4 deficit into a 29-12 lead. Gorgui Dieng's basket was the only field goal that wasn't a three during that stretch.
"Any given night, anybody can just turn on," Blackshear said. "Tonight, it was Russ and myself. Peyton helped us out a little more. Any given night, anybody can shoot it."
As good as the Cards looked on offense - shooting a season-high 48 percent and recording a season-best 22 assists - coach Rick Pitino had another message from their shooting spree.
Don't get used to it.
"That's not us," Pitino said. "I'm happy we shot it well, I'm happy we moved the ball well, but this team is built on defense. It was last year; it will be this year."
The Cards had, statistically speaking, their best defensive performance of the season by limiting the RedHawks to 29 percent shooting. Pitino played some zone for the first time this season and called off the full-court pressure in the second half.
The combination of shooting, a 43-26 rebounding advantage and defense led him to proclaim it the best game the Cards have played this season.
"That's the best we've looked in Red-White scrimmages, in exhibition games," Pitino said. "Obviously you look good when the ball goes in. But we played tremendous defense. Everybody really played very well at the defensive end. We rebounded well. We need to have a great game going into, I think, the strongest field I've ever seen as a coach."
The Cards head to the Bahamas to play in the Battle 4 Atlantis starting Thursday against Northern Iowa. If rankings pan out, U of L could potentially face No. 14 Missouri on Friday and No. 9 Duke in Saturday's championship.
Ultimately, Pitino said the games won't mean anything come tournament time.
"It's where you stand in February and March obviously, but, with our schedule we got to be ready. We could lose all three, win all three, because every team's a great team," Pitino said. "I'm real happy the way we played defense, real happy the way we've been rebounding, real happy with our full-court press - everything about the game very pleased with. It's the best we've looked."

I found this to be an interesting read. Thought you guys might enjoy it, too.
That's great. I think I've heard the canary thing before.
I can't believe CMs get to keep unclaimed cash! That seems kind of bizarre.
yeah...wonder why that doesn't get donated, too? and how did you like that confession at the end about the watch with the diamonds? "i wasn't supposed to..." whoops!!
A bit suspicious if you ask me: "Oh yeah. This is..... um....unclaimed."
I wonder if just the nasty stuff gets donated. The diamond watches and gold buillions are for the taking. ;-)
Does that last little part of the article indicate that if they find something nice and put their name on it that everyone in the lost and found knows not to give it back because someone there wants it? That probably a really negative outlook to have, but I'm just curious.
"I got a beautiful watch, she says. It has little diamond sets on either side. I wasn't supposed to, but I put my name on it, and it was unclaimed. After all that time, she says, sometimes finders get to be keepers.

In addition to the money saved on custodians, Patton said the district will dip into its reserve fund for $1.72 million.

Alternatively, head to Vridlo hot spring and experience the amazing indoor spring geyser. Enjoy!

MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin has signed a bill that makes changes to the state's open meeting laws; some organizations have raised concerns that the new law will decrease transparency in government.
The intention of the law is to modernize the state's open meeting laws, which Shumlin said have not been significantly updated in several decades.
This week's writer is Joe Choquette of Barre, a longtime lobbyist with Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC, whose clients include the Vermont Press Association, which represents the interests of the 11 daily and more than four dozen non-daily newspapers in Vermont.
For decades Vermont has been at the bottom of the list of states for the public's right to know the truth about government operations, records and meetings.

-For Mr. Kimmel
Gift Is Largest Ever Received By The University
The Johns Hopkins University today announced that Sidney Kimmel, founder and
chairman of Jones Apparel Group, has donated $150 million for cancer research
and patient care - the largest single gift ever to the University. With more
than a third of the gift already received, the Hopkins Cancer Center officially
will be called The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins.
Speaking of his gift, Mr. Kimmel said: "I am blessed. To be able to support
one of the leading institutions in the world and build on its momentum gives
so much meaning to what we have all done thus far to defeat cancer and provides
even more hope for what can now be accomplished. My goal with this gift is to
make meaningful advances in our knowledge of cancer."
Mr. Kimmel's gift also will provide the lead funding for development of a residence
to serve patients and families undergoing prolonged cancer treatments. "As
important as research is, I want to assure that some of those most acutely devastated
by cancer, whose conventional and experimental therapies require a protracted
presence in Baltimore, have the advantage and support of a family residence,"
he emphasized.
"On the day after my election," said Michael Bloomberg, Mayor-elect
of New York City and chairman of The Johns Hopkins University Board of Trustees,
"I took time out to call and thank Sidney; he's probably the nation's leading
individual donor to cancer research, and that deserves congratulations not only
from the Hopkins Community but from us all."
"Sidney Kimmel has shown enormous vision and insight into what would make
a difference in the field of cancer research, as well as great confidence in
our ability to achieve results. We are truly honored by this gift," said
Martin Abeloff, M.D., director of the newly named Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive
Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins.
The gift recognizes a new era in cancer research and treatment, according to
Edward D. Miller, M.D., Dean and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine. "We stand
at the threshold of exponential discovery in the laboratory and the development
of new treatments in the clinic. We seek nothing less than the eradication of
cancer in our lifetimes. We have a great challenge ahead of us, but with Mr.
Kimmel's tremendous generosity, success suddenly seems within our reach."
The Hopkins gift is one of many Mr. Kimmel has made to cancer research. Most
recently he gave $25 million to fund research and develop a new prostate and
urological cancer center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York, and he has
made significant gifts for cancer research in San Diego and Philadelphia. Mr.
Kimmel also designed and remains closely involved with The Kimmel Scholars Program,
which supports young cancer scientists nationally. With each receiving $200,000
over two years, 15 recipients are chosen annually by a distinguished panel of
ten scientists hand picked by Mr. Kimmel. He also was the lead sponsor for "The
March: Coming Together to Conquer Cancer" in 1998, which helped make more
than $400 million in additional government funding available for cancer programs
around the country.
Among gifts in fields other than cancer, Mr. Kimmel is the lead individual
donor to The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, set to open in Philadelphia
on December 14. The Performing Arts Center, designed by Rafael Viñoly,
will be home to the Philadelphia Orchestra.
"Mr. Kimmel's gift to us, as well as his other philanthropic endeavors,
represent a combination of extraordinary thoughtfulness and compassion,"
says William R. Brody, president of The Johns Hopkins University. "He defines
leadership, and his example calls on others to follow him."
"On behalf of all Maryland citizens, I thank Mr. Kimmel for his extraordinarily generous gift for cancer research and patient care in our State," said Governor Parris N. Glendening. We are proud of the many contributions in cancer research and care made by The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. Mr. Kimmel's gift will provide unprecedented opportunities to advance the fight against cancer. It is also gratifying to know that the State-sponsored programs to conquer cancer, made possible by the Cigarette Restitution Funds, have played a role in Mr. Kimmel's decision to make a difference in this effort."
John Hopkins has one of just 41 cancer programs in the country designated by the National Cancer Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Center, and was one of the first to earn that designation. The Center has active programs in clinical research, laboratory research, education, community outreach, prevention and control.
A leader on many fronts, The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins has internationally recognized programs in the molecular genetics of cancer, bone marrow transplantation, new drug and vaccine development, pediatric oncology, radiation oncology, and brain tumor treatment and research. It is highly regarded for its innovative surgical treatments for head and neck cancers, sarcoma, prostate and pancreatic cancers and its research involving the genetic basis of colon cancer, the treatment of cancer pain, gene therapy, and new therapeutic approaches for breast cancer.
Mr. Kimmel, 73, is chairman and a director of Jones Apparel Group, Inc., which he founded in the mid 1970s. The group now includes such labels as Jones New York, Lauren and Evan Picone. He also is a partner in Cipriani International, a world-renowned restaurant and catering business, as well as part owner of the Miami Heat. He was born and raised in West Philadelphia, and spends time in New York City, Philadelphia, and Palm Beach with his wife Caroline.

The city police on Friday resolved the mystery behind the murder of a rag-picker, Ganesh, with the arrest of his friend Deepak Singh. He killed Ganesh for allegedly maintaining illicit relationship with his girl friend. Enraged over this, Singh hatched a plan to kill him. Singh hosted a party for Ganesh at Kacheguda on July 19 and after consuming liquor, he picked up an argument with Ganesh and attacked Ganesh with a knife killing him on the spot. With the information collected from the victim's friends, the police nabbed Singh and remanded him to judicial custody. Singh was also involved in several cases, including a robbery reported under the Sultan Bazaar police station limits.
Drug peddler held
In a separate case, a history-sheeter Pathan Ali Khan (35) of Borabanda was held for selling ganja to some persons. He was purchasing ganja at Dhoolpet and selling it near his house. Two kgs of ganja was seized from him.

The US FAA has proposed a fine of $1.03 million against Singapore-based ST Aerospace's subsidiary in San Antonio for allegedly failing to carry out pre-employment drug tests.
The maintenance, repair and overhaul services provider allegedly hired 90 people to carry out safety-sensitive work before conducting the required tests and receiving the results, says the FAA.
Of the 90 workers, 62 did not go through the tests but 23 of them performed safety-sensitive work, it alleges.
Another 22 workers went through the pre-employment drug test but were hired before the MRO firm received verified negative results, says the FAA. Two of these 22 workers carried out safety-sensitive work before the results were released.
The remaining six workers took the tests on the day they were hired, adds the FAA.
"Safety is compromised when our regulations are skirted or ignored," says FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt. "The travelling public has to be confident that the people who perform work on their planes are complying with those regulations."
In response to the FAA's announcement, ST Aero says it is "disappointed" and adds that it has "addressed the issues raised by the FAA way back in 2008".
"Although we are concerned about the FAA's notice, we are also comfortable with the fact that we cooperated with the FAA years ago to resolve their concerns and to implement quality controls to ensure that we continue to comply with the FAA's drug-testing standards," it adds.
ST Aero says all 90 employees had passed the drug tests, and adds that it has controls in place to comply with the FAA's drug testing regulations.
"We intend to communicate with the FAA to explain why their informal allegations are incorrect," it says.
It has 30 days from the receipt of the FAA's enforcement letter to respond to the allegations, says the FAA.

Picture: 'Brothers and Sisters' star Sally Field leaving her Midtown Manhattan hotel New York City, USA - 16.07.08
Although they themselves presumably don't have enough time to run for a place on the Screen Actors Guild's national board, a group of prominent actors on Wednesday endorsed a dissident group of not-so-well-known actors who do. The group signed a message to SAG's membership from Sally Field saying that the actions of the union's current leadership had "destroyed" her faith in its ability "to effectively represent our interests as performers." She particularly condemned the leadership's inability to form a united front with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists against the producers. "If this leadership stays in place, the bad relations with AFTRA will persist, and we'll continue to negotiate contracts from a position of division and weakness," she said. Among 49 other actors supporting Field in calling for support of the candidate slate called Unite for Strength were such stars as Alec Baldwin, Ed Begley, Jr., Lewis Black, Peter Coyote, MARCIA CROSS, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Tom Hanks, Patricia Heaton, Felicity Huffman, Anthony LaPaglia, Rob Lowe, William H. Macy, Ron Perlman, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Tony Shalhoub, Elizabeth Shue, Gary Sinise, Eric Stoltz, John Turturro, Nia Vardalos, and Steven Weber. Previously Unite for Strength had been criticized for its inability to persuade well-known actors to challenge the leadership slate known as Membership First in September's board election.

Magaluf (/mæɡəˈluːf/, Catalan: [məɣəˈluf], Spanish: [maɣaˈluf]), also spelled Magalluf in English, is a major holiday resort on the Spanish island of Majorca, primarily catering for the British, Russian, Irish, German and Scandinavian package holiday market. Magaluf is in the municipality of Calvià and is situated within a group of towns, primarily Torrenova and Palma Nova. Son Sant Joan Airport – Majorca's main airport – is 24 kilometres (15 mi) from Magaluf.
The resort caters for young singles and couples as well as families, with peak season during July and August. The winter season (November through March) sees the population of Magaluf consist of mainly[1] local residents, with most resort and package-based hotels closing their doors.
Magaluf consists of a white sandy beach and the notorious Magaluf strip, which is the centre for the main bars and clubs. Magaluf has notably seen a decline in its image, this is ultimately due to the binge drinking, which has resulted in the press releasing many negative articles. The negative reputation of the resort has meant that action needed to be taken to spruce up the resort for a new type of tourist. Meliá Hotels International started the required investment for the first stage in modernising the resort of Magaluf, by updating four hotels on the beach front, known as the Calvià Beach Resort, which opened in June 2012.[2]
It is expected that within the next 5 years there will be renovation of other hotels in the area, changes in their use, improvement of existing facilities and construction of new facilities as well as the ability to attract visitors in the low season.[3]
A popular challenge for tourists is a swim to Black Lizard Island (Isla de sa Porrassa) located in the centre of Magaluf Bay. The island is known by this name due to the very high number of black lizards that can be found scurrying away during one's climb. The island is situated right in the centre of Magaluf bay and is approximately 400 m away from the beach front.[4]
There are many bars and nightclubs in Magaluf and many DJs have played at the resort including David Guetta, DJ Sammy, Freemasons, Basshunter, Greg James, Judge Jules, Tiesto, Pat Sharp, Calvin Harris, Tim Westwood and Lauren Pope. Night-life in Magaluf is centred on the Punta Balena strip, where most of the night clubs and bars are located.
Magaluf in popular culture[edit]
- Swedish pop musician Orup sang about the resort in 1992 in the song "Magaluf".
- English punk band Toy Dolls wrote "I've Had Enough o' Magaluf".

Stock Island Things to Do
There's not too much to see on Stock Island. About the only things I know of on the island are businesses, a marina, some restaurants, Key West area's one golf course, some dive shops and the animal rescue shelter. So if there is a Must See on Stock Island, this would be it.
This is advertised as the 'only frost-free tropical moist forest garden in the continental' US. Their goal is to eliminate the non-native invasive plants and retain the local indigenous plants.
Open every day except Wednesday. Closed in September.
Suggested donations $4.00, children free
Senior citizens and locals with ID $2.00.Related to:

Oceanside is primarily a motor boat/ fishing boat marina, but it is also convenient for sailboats.
In 2001, they charged us $2.65/foot plus $2.50/foot for environmental impact fee plus tax. Water, electricity and cable was included. I was afraid to tell Bob how much it was, and it has apparently gone up 10 cents a foot since then.
They gave us cards for the shower facilities, and said if we lost them they'd charge an additional $10 but didn't require a deposit. The washers were $1.75, and they were a little sticky about taking money. Two didn't work. The dryers were very good and efficient.
Of the 3 pay phones (2 shown on the right), one had no dial tone, one had a loud hum on the line, and only one worked well enough to phone on. The restaurant on the premises was not open. The Hickory House right outside the gate is but we never went there. We never could find the Rusty Anchor that the gate guard recommended. There is a guard on at night. You can get pizza or chinese food delivered if desired.
Equipment: Current rates from the website. You can see why the moorings are such a good deal.

My sister and BIL wanted to come and vacation close to where we were. He likes to play golf, so I checked up on it for him.
Even though golf is BIG in Florida, as far as I know there are only 4 courses in the keys. Two are private courses (in Key Largo and Marathon), and two are public courses. One of the public courses is on Stock Island.
The website says:
Golf legend REES JONES masterfully designed this public, 18 hole, 6,500 yard course to be a challenge to players of all abilities. ..
Equipment: The course is right next to the Botanical Garden.
Challenges of the course, include the infamous "Mangrove Hole" (143 yards, par 3 that is played completely over a field of thickly intertwined tropical mangroves).

Now that the sweatsuits have disappeared, where do you get these fancier duds? A friend of mine took me to his designer, Eduardo, uptown, and told me, "Pick whatever two suits you want." That's when I came up with the kind of suit I like: the vest with lapels under the jacket. Now it's almost become an image thing that everybody identifies with me, but why I like it is because on someone heavy, full-chested, it deflates the lookso you look at the lapels, you don't look at the girth. It was the right style for mealmost a banker look, but a little different. I've never wanted to just blend in, but at the same time I didn't want to look too out there. The only suits other than those from this guy Eduardo that I get are, like this coat, from Rochester Big and Tall Men.
It's a pretty expensive-looking coat. Once or twice a year Don King will come to town and we'll go shopping, and of course he pays for everything. I bought this coatRochester had to fit it to meand about five suits and shoes. We just go shopping! Don can afford it. I don't even know how much it cost. Don and I went shopping one other day, and I think it came to, like, $15,000. I could never pay that kind of money, but I certainly wasn't going to turn it down.
Well, since you brought it up, you're actually looking pretty slim these days. How'd you get the weight off? One meal a day! Cut down on your fried food and your starches! No sugar! And I do the treadmill an hour every morning. I get up at 5:30 every morning, even if I'm on the road. I try to stay at a hotel that's near a spa.
So, Reverend, what did you think of the recent New York Times article that questioned who pays for your new clothes? That article was more a reflection of the cultural makeup of The New York Times! In the black community, it's customary for people to give gifts to their ministers! It's customary! You represent the community! Who wants somebody to go on Face the Nation and look like they can't polish their shoes? If you're telling somebody you're going to be their mayor or their senator, you can't dress like a hip-hop producer. On the other hand, if I think I'm going to spend the night in jail, I'm not going to wear one of my Eduardo suits.

Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
This is an amazing car. Incredibly smooth and quiet, and was surprised to get 30MPG on the highway in ECO mode, but the impressive part was the power when you need it. For a big car, it's insanely quick (I got 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds), and when you do, the roar of the engine is fantastic!
The Nav, iPod, and bluetooth connection (you can even play your iPhone via bluetooth, though it has a USB connection) is great! Even has traffic and weather.
Amazing car. I do wish it had more room in the doors and center console for storage, especially for change, and ashtray does not come out, so putting the change in there forces you to dig.
The trunk is HUGE though.
But if that's my only complaint, It's all good.
Had a BMW 5 series, and Mercedes CLK and SL, and this is a much better car than both (and also a lot less expensive to maintain).
