The American fashion industry held its breath on Inauguration Day for a series of Big Reveals.
Word came within minutes that the navy check coat and dress Michelle Obama wore to the morning prayer service at St. John's church was by American designer Thom Browne, to which she added a belt for the ceremonial swearing-in. Her shoes and accessories were J.Crew. Her necklace was by Cathy Waterman.
"It struck me beforehand that she could wear Democratic blue," said Simon Collins, fashion dean at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, whose alumni include Jason Wu, who designed Obama's inauguration ball gown four years ago. "Previously she might have wanted to be neutral, but now the way President Obama is asserting his Democratic values more than before, I thought perhaps blue would be a color she would wear."
The jacquard fabric of her inauguration morning dress and coat were based on a men's silk necktie, according to a White House aide. Browne is best known for the shrunken suit trend he started in menswear a few years ago. He was named the Council of Fashion Designers of America Menswear Designer of the Year in 2006.
With the Thom Browne ensemble, Obama wore a cardigan by Reed Krakoff.
Daughter Malia Obama, 14, picked out her magenta ensemble from J.Crew. Sasha, 11, wore a purple Kate Spade coat and dress.
Any fears that the fashion world's focus had jumped the pond to the Duchess of Cambridge were allayed on Inauguration Day.
"The novelty has worn off — we're used to the fact the first lady is cool and very stylish, but it doesn't make her any less so," Collins said. "As interest in her fashion has waned in the reactionary media, reaction from the fashion industry has grown because there is a visible effect on business. She certainly can have an effect, it's not necessarily a guarantee of success. It's a common misconception that one outfit can build a business."
Chicago-based designer Maria Pinto, who Obama wore often during the first presidential campaign, shut down her business in Chicago in 2010, citing the economic downturn and retailers' shrinking inventories.
Jason Wu, meanwhile, has expanded his business since Obama wore his gown.
"My signature collection has had a lot of success," Wu said during a recent visit to Chicago. He just launched a contemporary collection, called Miss Wu, exclusively at Nordstrom stores and nordstrom.com. Miss Wu pieces range from $190 to $850, which is where his signature collection picks up. Although Miss Wu is for a younger customer, it retains the figure-flattering tailoring of the signature pieces that Obama has worn.
"With anything I do, I'm really in the business of dressing women," Wu said. "I don't want to create things that people can't wear."
Obama has championed that ideal in fashion, overthrowing the tyranny of the size 2 in a way that Catherine Duchess of Middleton does not with her super-slim frame.
"Michelle Obama represents, ironically, sort of ordinary women," said Hazel Clark, a professor in Parsons fashion studies program.
Parsons has trained other designers Obama has worn, including Prabal Gurung, Peter Som, Alexander Wang, Derek Lam and Narciso Rodriguez, whose red and black dress captured the spotlight when Obama wore it the night her husband was first elected president.
"It's not so much that she influences certain items of clothing — maybe her preference for cardigans has been influential — but it's more that she is someone who dresses confidently and looks good without being seen as trivial," Clark said. "Often as we know, associations with fashion, particularly for women, have a trivializing effect. She has cared for her appearance without being seen as a coathanger, which is lovely."
Thom Browne also has designed the Black Fleece men's and women's collection for Brooks Brothers in addition to his signature line. He received the 2012 National Design Award in Fashion Design, celebrated with a White House luncheon that the first lady hosted. She wore a lace dress by Browne for the Democratic National Convention in September 2012, according to the mrs-o.com blog.
The first lady, who was sporting freshly cropped bangs and eyelash extensions, plans to give the Inauguration Day ensemble to the National Archives, the aide said.

Dee Roberts is a 24-year-old, African-American single mom struggling to make ends meet in a small Texas town. When cops arrest her in a drug sweep, she insists on her innocence. Even though Dee has no prior drug record and no drugs were found on her in the raid or any subsequent searches, she is offered a hellish choice: plead guilty and go home as a convicted felon or remain in prison and fight the charges thus, jeopardizing the custody of her children and risking a long prison sentence. She chooses to fight the district attorney and the unyielding criminal justice system he represents. Joined in an unlikely alliance with an ACLU attorney and former local narcotics officer, Dee risks everything in a battle that forever changes her life and the Texas justice system.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (July 16, 2009) – Elaborate preparation is underway for "World of Color," the spectacular nighttime water show that will astound guests with its magnitude and creativity when it debuts in spring 2010 as the next major milestone in the expansion of Disney's California Adventure park. Surpassing all Disney water productions, "World of Color" will bring Disney animation to life with powerful fountains that become stars of the show as they create the world's largest projected water screen.
For months now, guests at Disney's California Adventure have been peering into the lagoon near Paradise Pier as Walt Disney Imagineering and Creative Entertainment have installed the massive infrastructure and innovative technology that will create the stage for this extraordinary combination of music, animation and stunning water effects. Teams of Disney workers have built nearly an acre of superstructure to support the complex "World of Color" production.

Several outlets reported today that the mother of Austin Wuennenberg, the Disney Monorail operator who was killed in a tragic collision on July 4, had filed a petition earlier in the week for a Pure Bill of Discovery. The petition, filed on behalf of Christine Wuennenberg, requested she have access to evidence that Disney may be in possession of in regards to the incident including video of the Monorails, audio communication and 'black box' data. Wuennenberg's lawyers also requested access to the complete list of witnesses, employees involved in Monorail operation and logs of said employee's whereabouts for months leading up to the crash. The petition cited a concern that evidence 'may be destroyed, erased and/or altered.' An alternate request to insure that Disney did not destroy any potential evidence was also made.

Wendell (Mass.). Treasurer
Wendell (Mass.). Treasurer Account book, 1794-1864.
Call no.: MS 090
A sparsely populated rural community in eastern Franklin County, Massachusetts, the town of Wendell was incorporated in 1781, when it was separated from parts of the adjacent towns of Shutesbury and Erving. Primarily a farming community throughout its history, with only light manufacturing, Wendell remains one of the state's least populous communities.
Kept in standard double column format, the Wendell Treasurer's account book was approved and settled annually by the town selectmen. Although accounting practices varied, the treasurers of the mid-nineteenth century typically provided somewhat greater detail in detailing income and expenditures. Prominent among the signatories are Judge Joshua Green and the Treasurers Samuel Brewer, George W. Fleming, and Franklin Howe (and other members of the Howe family).

The axle and gear that you use to tip the releases for the marbles... that's the kind of simplicity I love to see in designs... great work, Karl.

One curious thing: he seems to use the light sensor to detect when a marble holder is in position (i.e., to sense the stop positions of the platforms). Odd, as since he's using the NXT motors to drive them, I should think he could use the motor encoders to do this right in the software. I'm not sure he's taking advantage of the full abilities of the NXT here, or maybe the precision isn't quite up to the task.
This is a great integration of the NXT, and the video is very well done. I think this design originated with Iain Hendry in Canada about four years ago, but I love the implementation every time I see it. Nicely done!

The design is quite an accomplishment, I'd love to see a wholly mechanical version of this...
- Oct 22, 2006, 5:41:00 AM
Hello Brian.
I used the light sensor as I couldn't work out how to use the rotation sensors properly, if someone could do a tutorial, including gears, that'd be brilliant.
The whole thing was inspired by an RCX version I saw on YouTube.

KARL are you a packaging Engineer?
REALLY REALLY REALLY nice work! AND it works!
- Oct 23, 2006, 3:12:00 AM
>The whole thing was inspired by an RCX version I saw on YouTube.
I saw that too, and had no idea what that was. The way of releasing the marbles is very innovative, I would not have thought of that.
- Oct 23, 2006, 3:47:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
As to using the rotation sensor properly, the easiest way to do it is have the NXT in contat with the computer (via BT or USB), and then select a Motor or Move block so you can see the configuration pane for it at the bottom. On the left edge of that pane is the feedback values from the motors, so you can see exactly how many degrees of change it will take to rotate those turntables exactly 90°. Then, use this value for a Move or Motor block of fixed duration (in degrees).
The only problem I can think of is if, perhaps, 90° of rotation of the turntable does not correspond to some integer number of degrees of rotation of the motor, there might be a slow "drift" over time. I can think of two way to fix this too: (a), fudge a few degrees every, say, 10 cycles or something, to reduce the drift, or (b) calculate the rotation off of a running continuous cumulative count, dividing by the appropriate integer to get the number of degrees to turn.

This is fantastic! The choice of music is especially nice.

I was looking at this post again (In fact several times) I think this is the MOST creative thing I have seen using LEGO and NXT!
Great work.. It is amazing!

Everything from appearance to customer service to online services available provides for excellent service. Cost is always a factor, so it would be nice to offer continued customer credits and not just first time customer discounts. That is not exclusive to storage facilities, but commitment incentives go a long way for repeat and continued customers in my opinion. Every other area - no improvements needed. Excellent.Regina from Middletown, NY

yeah any of the following can be number 2's on their respective day:Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Queens of the Stoneage, Sigur Ros, Blur, Stone Roses, & yes Atoms for Peace as well, because they will not headline. So replace them with Jack White or Depeche Mode
I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member...
Upcoming shows
Facebook // Twitter // Blog // Tumblr // Instagram
Coachella: 04,06,07,09,10,11,12(1&2),13(1&2),14(1&2),15(1&2)
The Jesus and Mary Chain 5/16, Spoon 5/28, Neutral Milk Hotel 6/1, Sufjan Stevens 6/5&6, Charli XCX & Bleachers 7/23, Death Grips 7/25, Taylor Swift 8/14
SDCC 7/9-12/2015, Outside Lands 8/7-9/2015
AFP being above 2nd spot is silly to me. Has anything from their catalogue raised above radio head related curiosity?
AFP couldn't headline based on their catalogue- they don't have one. Their debut album is coming out January 2013. However, they drew a giant crowd in 2010, and the project involves Thom Yorke and Flea. I'm not suggesting they could headline, but I could see them on the 2nd line just on their past Coachella visit, the members, and the hype of their album. Tons of Radiohead fans are wet with excitement over this album. Including me.
Good poster but whats with the shake weight party? There are some obvious face palms (Dash Berlin 6th line and AFP headlining) and the lineup lacks diversity. That said, substitute Neil Young for AFP and all would be forgiven
Yeah and 2 Chainz is easily the most popular name on Saturday and he's last line? PFT
I'ma ball at the mall shuttin' down the sea wall
Sprinkle in a little reggae (steel pulse, barrington levy types), blues rock (Gary Clarke jack white genre), trap, rap, 80s new wave band (pet shop boys), metal/ hardcore and some WTF was that? Groups (shpongle, leftfield, Amon Tobin) strange shit. Maybe the lineup has groups I'm unfamiliar with that fall into these categories but from a quick glance this is what I see
Does Beyonce playing the Superbowl 2 weeks after the Coachella lineup announcement indirect reason enough to rule her out? I've heard rumors of her recording but not an imminent release date on the horizon. Are there touring plans connected to her superbowl gig?
They also played Radiohead songs. Doesn't mean it's apart of their catalogue. They were a backing band for Thom. Now they're an actual band.
Was is not announced before the festival he was callung the band atoms for peace?
I remember a ten page debate about it
Regardless, I dont see why they wouldnt play material from both the eraser and the new record.
who do you guys think will play sahara? i see pretty lights, axwell, aoki, bassnectar, rusko, skrillex,carl cox, armin, funtcase, dimitri vegas and like mike, trolley snatcha, and bloody beetroots

Monday, Nov. 5, 2012
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- More than 400 possible cases of price gouging have been reported in New York before and after Superstorm Sandy.
Reports are being investigated in New York City, the Hudson Valley and on Long Island by state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Among the reports: The price of a bag of potatoes jumped from $3 before the storm to $7. A box of matches more than tripled, to $10. And a loaf of bread more than doubled, to $7.
State law prohibits spikes in prices for essential goods, including food, water, gasoline, generators, batteries and flashlights. The law also prohibits sharp increases in prices by retailers, supermarkets, hardware stores, bodegas, delis and taxis.
A vendor may defend higher prices if they can show an increased cost of getting goods or delivering services.

What is NIDRR's mission?
The mission of OSERS' National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) is to generate, disseminate and promote knowledge that will improve the lives of persons with disabilities in their communities. NIDRR conducts comprehensive and coordinated programs of research and related activities to assist in the achievement of the full inclusion, social integration, employment, and independent living of people with disabilities.
How is NIDRR's research used to improve the lives of individuals with disabilities?
Since Congress created NIDRR in 1978, rehabilitation researchers have achieved many significant outcomes that benefit both individuals and society. For example, at the individual level, the concerted efforts of U.S. researchers, most of whom received NIDRR support, have decreased medical complications for individuals with spinal cord injuries, thus, significantly increasing their life expectancy. In addition, rehabilitation engineering research has led to the use of new materials for wheelchairs and orthotic and prosthetic devices, making this essential equipment more comfortable, functional, and attractive.
At the environmental-societal level, technology has greatly enhanced accommodations for people with all types of disabilities. Research has led to new applications of the principles of universal design to the built environment, information technology, telecommunications, transportation, and mass-market consumer products. These advances, which allow more people with disabilities to access buildings, telecommunications devices, and computer technology, illustrate a significant change in the disability paradigm a change that expands the focus of disability to include environmental factors, as well as individual factors.
What are NIDRR's core areas of research?
NIDRR's research focus includes such areas as: employment outcomes, health and function, technology for access and function, independent living and community integration, associated disability research areas, knowledge dissemination and utilization, and capacity building for rehabilitation and international activities. For a detailed description of these areas, consult the Long-Range Plan.
How does NIDRR conduct its research?
NIDRR's research is conducted via a network of individual research projects and centers of excellence throughout the country. Most NIDRR grantees are universities or providers of rehabilitation or related services.
What types of Programs does NIDRR fund?
NIDRR's largest funding programs are the Rehabilitation Research and Training Centers (RRTCs) and Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERCs). NIDRR also makes awards for information dissemination and utilization centers and projects, field initiated projects, research and development projects, advanced research training projects, Mary E. Switzer fellowships, small business innovative research, and model systems of care. NIDRR administers the State Technology Assistance Projects and Disability and Business Technical Assistance Centers.

Does NIDRR provide direct services to people with disabilities?
No. NIDRR does not have a program of direct rehabilitation services to individuals. As our name indicates, research is our focus. NIDRR is a Federal agency under the Department of Education that conducts comprehensive and coordinated programs of research and related activities to assist in the achievement of the full inclusion, social integration, employment, and independent living of people with disabilities. NIDRR's research is conducted through a network of individual research projects and centers of excellence. Most NIDRR grantees are universities or providers of rehabilitation or related services.
What is the purpose of NIDRR's Long-Range Plan?
The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research's (NIDRR) Long-Range Plan presents a five-year agenda to advance the vital work being done in applied rehabilitation research. This Long-Range Plan fulfills NIDRR's obligation under the Rehabilitation Act to provide a plan that identifies research needs and sets research priorities for the disability field.
NIDRR's plan serves the following purposes:
- To set broad general directions that will guide NIDRR's policies and the use of resources in the field of disability
- To establish objectives for research and dissemination that will improve the lives of individuals with disabilities and from which annual research priorities can be formulated
- To describe a system for operationalizing the plan in terms of annual priorities, evaluation of the implementation of the plan, and updates of the plan as necessary
- To direct new emphasis to the management and administration of the
research endeavor
How was the Long-Range Plan developed?
The Long-Range Plan was developed with the guidance of a distinguished group of NIDRR constituents — individuals with disabilities and their family members and advocates, service providers, researchers, educators, administrators, and policy makers. The plan draws upon public hearings and planning activities conducted by NIDRR, as well as papers prepared specifically for the plan by several authors.
How does the Long-Range Plan meet the needs of the rehabilitation community?
The Plan addresses a range of diverse objectives intended to meet the following needs of the rehabilitation community:
- the needs of individuals with disabilities for knowledge and information that will enable them to achieve their aspirations for self-direction, independence, inclusion, and functional competence
- the needs of rehabilitation service providers for information on new techniques and technologies that will enable them to assist in the rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities
- the needs of researchers to advance the capabilities of science as well as the body of scientific knowledge
- the needs of society and its leadership for strategies that will facilitate the potential contributors of all citizens
- the need to transfer findings from basic and applied research
How does NIDRR support the ADA?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) opens more opportunities for persons with disabilities. To assist covered parties with the understanding and compliance of the ADA, NIDRR has funded 10 regional centers to provide information, training, and technical assistance to employers, people with disabilities, and other entities with responsibilities under the ADA. Each Disability and Business Technical Assistance Center (DBTAC) provides comprehensive resources on ADA issues in employment, public services, public accommodations, and communications.

More information on the ADA:
- U.S. Department
of Justice's ADA Home Page
- Projects NIDRR Funds to support ADA
What is the definition of disability?
There are over 40 different definitions of disability in United States federal law but NIDRR is guided by the definition of disability in the ADA. The ADA definition sets out the following criteria:
- a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities
- a record of such an impairment
- being regarded as having such an impairment.
The definition lends itself to activity measures and therefore to measures of political activity.
What is "the new paradigm of disability?"
The new paradigm maintains that disability is the result of an interaction between characteristics of the individual and those of the natural, built, communications (IT), cultural, and social environments. Personal characteristics, as well as environmental ones, may be either enabling or disabling. The relative degree of this situation fluctuates, depending on condition, time, and setting. This view of disability suggests that one of the most effective ways to address particular disabilities may be through the removal of barriers and the provision of accommodation or assistive technology.
As new causes of disabilities emerge, the new paradigm of disability clearly provides a progressive approach to successfully addressing people with disabilities. These new issues have implications not only for disability research and services, but also for public health and prevention activities.
What does the term "emerging universe" mean?
The emerging universe is identified with new disabling conditions; new causes for impairments; differential distribution within the population; increased frequency of some impairments, including those associated with aging; and new consequences of disability, particularly related to social-environmental factors, life-span issues, and projected demands for services and supports. NIDRR has begun to focus on an emerging universe of disability, in which the conditions associated with disability, their distribution in the population, and their causes and consequences are substantially different from those in traditional disability populations.
What is Assistive Technology?
Assistive technology (AT) is any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. (29 U.S.C. Sec 2202(2)).
Examples of assistive technology are:
- Screen readers or large screen monitors for individuals with visual impairments
- Hearing aids and other amplification devices for individuals with hearing loss
- Devices that operate lamps, radios, and other appliances through a remote control switching device, that might be attached to a person's wheelchair
- Toilets and showers equipped with grab bars for persons who may fall
easily or require supports
What is Universal Design?
Universal design is the design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.
The intent of universal design is to simplify life for everyone by making products, communications and the built environment more usable by as many people as possible at little or no extra cost. Universal design benefits people of all ages and abilities.
For more information on universal design, visit The Center for Universal Design, School of Design, a NIDRR funded Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) on Universal Design and the Built Environment.

Pro Touring
I am a relatively new subscriber, and your magazine is great. I'm interested in starting a project car, but I'd like to clearly understand how I'd use the vehicle. I like the Pro Touring concept. However, I can't find any rules governing this class (similar to Pro Street or Street Touring with the SCCA). Several of the cars in your magazine appear to be great Street Touring cars (for example, Brian Finch's Camaro from June '10, and Eric David's Camaro from Nov. '10), but would be placed in a SCCA Prepared Class (against purpose-built, nonstreetable vehicles). If I build a Pro Touring vehicle, what rules should it follow, and where could I use it (outside of cruising)? I'm looking for events the common guy can attend.
Milwaukee, WI
It's always good to hear that the cars we feature are inspiring others to build something for themselves. As for where you can compete with Pro Touringstyle cars, that'll ultimately be up to you. As you've already noted, the SCCA has strict rules to keep parity between competitors and over the years have successfully refined their rules to keep competition close. The events that we've been covering lately have been limited to treadwear and vehicle years. Keep in mind that these events are growing quickly, and I can see specified rules for different classes. Until then, I would suggest building the car you like and hitting up every event that comes your way, including any qualifiers for the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational or any number of Goodguys' shows with autocross events. Believe me, these events make everyone feel welcome, and you'll have a blast!
LS Swaps
First of all, I'd like to say that you guys put out a top-notch publication (which is why I subscribe). Second, thanks to Kevin McClelland for Performance Q&A; it's the first thing I read every month. The point of this letter is your request for opinions to the Foreign Objects paragraph concerning LS swaps into overseas (read: import) vehicles. I say, Bring it on! I've seen, in person, some very tasteful swaps, one of which was an LS2 into the last iteration of the RX-7. Imagine an aftermarket 3-inch pipe singing to the tune of a healthy LSmusic to my ears. The best swap that I've seen was at a show in Michigan at Lane Automotive where a guy had a Mazda Miata with a swap done by Jackson Racing and featured an all-stock Corvette LS1, F-body T-56 transmission, and rear centersection from a Cadillac CTS. All outward appearances pointed to minor mods to a normal Miata, until you looked underhood and the power-to-weight ratio starts to sink in. The car looked like it was meant to be that way! A lightweight car with a powerful V-8 has always been the best recipe for a killer car. If you already have a rust-free (you're lucky), rear-drive import that has room for any Chevy drivetrainI say do it! We all dare you 'cause you'll never be the same after.

LS Fest Contender
I attended the LS Fest with my Corvairs and had a great time. The event went very well for the inaugural year at a nice facility. Talk about a great program with nice people! I was drag racing and competed in the True Street program. I just wanted to say that my son and I had a very fun time and we're looking forward to next year!

We're glad you had a great time and we'll be sure to keep our eyes out for you next year! Thanks for the letter.
Malibu Rollers
I just received this month's issue and there is a silver '80-model Malibu that Mast Motorsports dropped in one of their LS7s into it. I would love to know what size the front wheel and tire combination is on that car. Any help would be wonderful, and I love your magazine.
Sevierville, TN
We called Mast Motorsports and learned that the front rollers are 15x4 Billet Specialties Street Light wheels with 26x8.50 Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires. The rear features the same wheel, measuring in at 15x10 with 6.5-inch backspacing and rides on a pair of 28x12.50 Mickey Thompson ET Streets. If you want to fit the large rollers out back, it'll require mini-tubs.

The Merchants Chased from the Temple (Les vendeurs chassés du Temple)
Jesus drives the merchants from the Temple, among them moneychangers as well as those who sell animals for sacrifice and food for worshippers. He scatters their goods—in a dramatic flurry of flapping doves' wings—as he wields a whip devised from his own belt, Tissot notes in his text. (This last detail comes from the account in John, though Tissot chose not to cite those verses in his Bible.)
The sheer bulk of merchants with their wares and animals had grown so large, Tissot explains, that, for want of room, they had invaded Solomon's Porch and the Court of the Gentiles, rendering the cisterns impure and the silence required for prayer impossible.
