Daily Mail unhappy 40-year-old Kate Moss has 40-year-old knees
For the Mail, Moss' true age is revealed not by a portrait in the attic, but by the skin halfway up her leg.
For the Mail, Moss' true age is revealed not by a portrait in the attic, but by the skin halfway up her leg.
by Media Mole Published
Time waits for no woman, including Kate Moss. Celebrating her 40th birthday this week at some club in Soho with some of her celebrity friends (if you care about where and who, then by all means, the Mail's got your back on this), the paper's report included one peculiar detail:
As you can see from the photo, Ms Moss - like almost every human with legs - has a fleshy hinge in the middle for the purposes of aiding locomotion. We suppose that botox might tighten up the skin around there, but the thing with knees is they have to have a bit of give, so they can bend. That's quite crucial.
Page 3 of the paper version even included a helpful zoom-in on the offending leg-elbows.
This isn't the first time the Mail has focused on Ms Moss' knees - it was the focus of a headline back in 2007 - and even other magazines like Heat have found her knees shocking (somehow). Other female celebrities to come under fire for daring to be born with legs include Elle Macpherson, Kylie Minogue, Cindy Crawford, Heidi Klum, Eliza Doolittle, Tara Reid, Miley Cyrus, Eva Longoria and Nicollette Sheridan.

When I read that the house specialty at Big Judd's Diner in Ririe, Idaho, is a hamburger made from a whopping 1 pound of ground beef - appropriately known as the "Big Judd" - I could think of only one logical response:Why? The answer, of course, is as complex and multifaceted as the varying patterns of linoleum on Big Judd's floor. Part of it is that in Ririe (population 48, if two vans full of state prisoners happen to be facing each other at the four-way stop) there's not much else to do other than eat oneself into oblivion. But part of the answer, too, is that extreme overeating has long been a masculine rite of passage in certain cultures, namely the American one. That's why the faces smiling from the photographs on Big Judd's Wall of Fame, recognizing those who have polished off an entire Big Judd or one of its even larger cousins - did I mention that there are double and triple versions of the house specialty? - are almost exclusively male. Alas, not all of those smiles are long-lived. Near the end of my evening at Big Judd's, having somehow made do with a mere 1/4 of a Big Judd, which is literally the size of a dinner plate and comes on a bun that looks like a basketball cut in half, I stepped outside for some much needed fresh air. Before I could even take a deep breath, however, I heard a retching sound coming from the opposite side of the cinder-block building. Led by my curiosity, and against my better judgment, I rounded the corner to find two teenage boys, who just moments before had beamed triumphantly for their Wall of Fame photos, bent over and - well, let's just say they wouldn't be taking their Big Judds home with them that night. And yet, people come from miles around - to get to Ririe from anywhere you have to travel literally for miles - braving ice, snow, marauding elk herds, and suspicious parking-lot puddles just to take a stab at the Big Judd. I mean, look at me. I traveled over 2,000 miles for the Big Judd experience. Of course, I have family in the area, so a giant hamburger was not the only reason I found myself in rural southeastern Idaho. (Excuse me. "Rural" and "southeastern Idaho" are about as redundant as "panhandler" and "downtown Atlanta.") But still. Once within sight of a Big Judd, which is about 16 miles on a clear day, I had to handle it and taste it for myself. And so I did. I did not, however, get to fulfill my second objective, which was to meet Big Judd himself, founder of the august establishment that bears his name. Sadly, Judd died of a heart attack in 2004. But at least I got to see his picture on the Wall of Fame. Rob Jenkins may be reached at email@example.com.

Archived Story
Pageant brings wave of nostalgiaPublished 10:43am Thursday, January 10, 2013
The Outlook Calendar Girl Pageant has been an establishment in Alexander City for as long as I can remember.
Though the pageant was begun by my grandfather, Billy McGhee, in 1973 – 15 years before I was born – I never once participated in the event.
But nevertheless, the Outlook Pageant was always a family affair.
My grandmother, Ginny McGhee, ran a dance studio called Ginny's School of Dance for years in town and usually taught an opening dance number for participants to do at the beginning of the pageant. There were several rehearsals throughout the week, and girls of all ages learned simple dance steps and stage blocking to open the production with pizzazz.
My mom, Barbara Anne Spears, would help with organization leading up to the pageant and backstage while it was going on.
She and my grandfather used to make all of the sashes – strips of wide red ribbon with the names (such as "Miss Congeniality 1992") written in my grandfather's near-perfect Palmer handwriting in glue and then sprinkled with glitter.
Though I don't remember it firsthand, it doesn't surprise me that he had near-perfect handwriting – as most who knew him would probably recall, my grandfather paid great attention to detail, which made him perfect as a pageant director. He double- and triple-checked to ensure every aspect of the pageant was immaculate.
I loved peeking into the hustle and bustle of the dressing room, watching in awe as frantic mothers transformed what looked like normal girls into angels in front of my eyes – all in a flurry of hairspray, bobby pins and duct tape.
Funny how at the time, those in the Miss Outlook category were grown women in my mind – wearing shimmering, perfect-fitting gowns, gliding across the stage with a grace I couldn't comprehend.
(Now when I see the contestants, I can't help but think how they look much too young to be in high school, and I wonder when I got old enough for teenagers to consistently call me "ma'am.")
The backstage area was swirling with activity as well – not to mention dust long since trapped between the wooden slats of the stage floor or in the heavy curtains that once again decided to make its presence known. Glitter floated amidst the dust, mixing in with the heavy perfume coming from the single long-stemmed red roses stacked in boxes.
I would always trace my fingers over the bases of the rows and rows of trophies, which soon would stand proudly in young girls' bedrooms and curio cabinets throughout the Lake Martin region.
I remember peeking around the center curtain at the stage at Central Alabama Community College (where the pageant was held in the 1990s, though it was held at Benjamin Russell High School for a majority of its existence), listening to Robert Gunn announce each contestant's name, interests and sponsor.
Following the presentation of all the months, category winners, and Miss Outlook winners in each age category, there was happy chaos. Parents and friends formed their own paparazzi, with flashes popping all around as everyone tried to capture the excitement of the moment.
My grandfather died in 1997 when I was 9 years old, and since then the scholarship earned by Miss Outlook has borne his name.
I'm sure when I attend the pageant this weekend, I'll be swept up in the nostalgia – I can't imagine much has changed. The palpable excitement of the families and the equally present nervousness of the girls has culminated into a community tradition all its own.
Tickets for this weekend's 40th Outlook Calendar Girl Pageant are $8 and will be available at the door. If you'd like to buy tickets ahead of time, stop by The Outlook office anytime during regular business hours.
The pageant will begin on Saturday at 7 p.m. and on Sunday at 3 p.m.
For any of you who haven't experienced the pageant in the past, I highly encourage you to attend – the spirit of the event is contagious, and the support for the girls from friends and family is always appreciated.
I'll see you there.
Spears is general manager and managing editor of The Record.

Why did you want to become a peer advisor?
I know how many questions about everything I had when I was getting ready to study abroad, so I figured that now that I've gone through the whole process, it's time to help other people figure out what's going on.
International Experience:
I spent three weeks in France the summer after I graduated high school, to visit a friend who had stayed with me during the previous year; during spring break my freshman year, I went on an Alternative Spring Break to Costa Rica; and I just got back from a semester in Lille, France, where I got to take weekend trips to visit 13 different countries.

Why did you want to become a peer advisor?
I wanted to become a peer advisor right after I came back from London. I learned so much while being abroad, not only academically and culturally, but also about myself. I want to be able to get other CofC students excited to study abroad while having all of the information needed in order to be successful before, during, and after studying abroad. Studying abroad certainly was the best semester I had, and I hope many many more students have the opportunity to have this once in a life time opportunity!
International Experience:
During my semester abroad, I was able to live in one of London's biggest parks, Regents Park, while learning more about my major, other courses, and British and international culture. Living in London was unbelievable. From the many historical sites to the many markets, there was always something to do. While being in London for a semester I was able to travel to 8 different countries and 11 different cities including: Ireland, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and France! I also have been on a 10 day academic trip in high school to Italy and London. I hope to continue my love of traveling after graduation!

International Experience:
My current list of visited countries is 21 countries from North and South America, Europe, and Asia. The trips varied from service trips to vacations to studying abroad.

Fall 2014 Office Hours: Thursdays 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm for Affiliate Advising Session
Study Abroad Program: Affiliate Program, USAC Viterbo - Italy
Why did you want to become a peer advisor?
Studying abroad was the highlight of my college career. I loved meeting new people and learning about interesting cultures. When I returned from Italy, I knew I wanted to help other people have an amazing experience abroad, too. It is the best feeling to hear about someone's time abroad after I encouraged them to go.
International Experience:
During the spring of my sophomore year, I studied in Viterbo, Italy. It is a small medieval town located about an hour north of Rome. The city is surrounded by quaint walls and local cafes. I took classes in Renaissance Art (and was actually able to see the pieces in person), Italian Culture, and language. Also, I was able to travel to Greece, Spain, and Hungary. Every place I went, I tried local cuisine and saw as much of the city as possible. Studying abroad was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Fall 2014 Office Hours: Wednesdays 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm for Abroad101 Advising Session
Study Abroad Program: CofC Faculty-Led Program - University of La Rochelle - France; Paris, France
Why did you want to become a peer advisor?
My time abroad has taught me invaluable lessons that you can't learn in a classroom. It has helped me to not only appreciate foreign cultures, but also to reflect on my own. I want to make sure that everyone who is considering studying abroad can have an equally positive experience! Because I have participated in different styles of programs, I can offer insight to help students choose a program that best fits their interests and preferences. By providing information, I hope I can help students navigate the application process smoothly.
International Experience:
In high school I participated in an exchange program in Angers and Paris, France. After graduating, I completed a trip throughout France tailored to art and photography students. After arriving at the College, I studied in Paris for a 3-week summer program and in La Rochelle for a semester. I have also traveled within France twice with my family. From resorts to hostels, from host families to renting apartments, I have had a variety of unique experiences. In addition to my time exploring France, I have visited Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, England, and Mexico.

Fall 2014 Office Hours: Wednesdays 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm for Abroad101 Advising Session
Study Abroad Program: CofC Faculty-Led Program - Trujillo, Spain
Why did you want to become a peer advisor?
Once starting college, studying abroad was always the one experience I wanted to have and couldn't wait to go abroad. I would love to help others have positive experiences abroad that are truly once in a lifetime. While it's a great experience, it's easy to be nervous or anxious before going abroad, I know I was, but it's also worth every single minute. Because of my recent experience abroad, I remember what it's like preparing to go abroad and the questions you don't even know you have until too late. I would be able to help students prepare and help them figure out what to expect before departing.
International Experience:
My study abroad experience in Trujillo, Spain was actually my first, and only, international experience. I stayed with a host family in Trujillo, Spain for 5 weeks during the summer, while taking two classes with professors and students from the College of Charleston. Staying with a host family was one the most eye opening experiences as you were afforded a glimpse of what the daily culture was really like. We had excursions to other parts of Spain as well. We went south to Andalucía, where we saw the Mezquita (Mosque) of Córdoba, the Alhambra in Granada and the cathedrals in Sevilla. We also spent some time in Madrid stopping in Toledo and Segovia along the way, and saw beautiful Spanish architecture and toured museums. I was able to put the Spanish language, culture and history I had learned in my classes to use. While this has been my only international experience to date, I am looking forward to my next adventure!

Richard Chai Spring/Summer 2015
- Kempt Staff
Our three favorite things from today's presentation, after the jump...»
Our three favorite things from today's presentation, after the jump...»
via YHBTI
Stitch by Stitch: A gaggle of pics from behind the scenes at Oak Street Bootmakers. [A Headlong Dive]
The Info Fix: Checking Twitter may be more addictive than cigarettes or alcohol. We believe it. [The Guardian]
Meet the New Boss: Richard Chai steps up as creative director of Filson. We can't wait to see what he does with it. [Complex]
And Just Because It's Friday...: Here's footage from an NYC Clash show circa 1979. [Dangerous Minds]
We're still recovering from the frightening quantity of long ties at the Emmys, so this week's MOTH comes from the tail end of Fashion Week, when Amare Stoudamire decided to stop by the Richard Chai show. And naturally, he dressed for the occasion.
Unlike most of the celebs passing through, Amare could actually pass for a blogger. And we mean that in a good way.
Maybe it's the V-neck/fedora combo, which makes him seem like a well-heeled but traditional newspaperman. Or the way the tweedy touches play with NBA-standard affectations like the sleeve tattoo or the Rolex. Either way, he fit right in with the first row—which is quite a feat for an NBA man. Now where's his GQ cover?
Let's Go Krugering: Diane Kruger is more German than you might otherwise think. [GQ]
The Real Donald: Donald Sutherland contains all worldly wisdom. Somehow, Esquire got him to spill the goods. [Esquire]
The Other Best in Show: Richard Chai for Original Penguin is looking pretty good. [Selectism]
There Goes a Steel-Drivin' Man: In honor of the modern-day John Henry tale going on on Jeopardy right now, McSweeney's drops an ode to the robot contestant Watson. [McSweeney's]
There are plenty of old school American sneaker brands in need of rehabilitation, but Keds is pretty near the top of the list. And it looks like Richard Chai is the lucky designer who gets to take a crack at it.
Of course, pairing a hungry designer with a classic basketball shoe is a tried and true combination, and it would appear Chai is even borrowing a few tricks from his predecessors, like doing away with laces. New additions include zippers, puffy high tops and an intriguingly sheen finish…but we'll have to wait at least another few months before we're lucky enough to see them in person.
The oatmeal-loving minimalist Richard Chai is getting another shot at retail, thanks to a well-timed popup shop. This time, he's taking to his brother's rotating hipster depot DEN, with a few choice items from his recent Paris shows hitting the racks for the next few weeks.
As for the goods, it's a bit more dour than last time around, but that might just be a sign of the times. The pants are all heavily cuffed for a grittily urban effect—none of Thom Browne's nerd-chic here—with a few well-sewn jackets to complete the effect.
And apparently, like everyone else, he's holding onto his chucks.
Take a look at the store and the line»
We're past Labor Day, which means the fall collections are finally trickling into stores. Our favorite so far came to us by way of UrbanDaddy: the first men's line from Richard Chai. Richard's brother Eddy has been ruling lower Manhattan with an iron fist for the last few years as co-owner of Odin, but it's safe to say Richard has more than nepotism on his side.
His new line looks like J. Crew circa 2020, with low-slung cardigans and multi-layered pea coats giving a surprising twist on one of our favorite looks. And we never say no to a v-neck, even if we don't advise the all-oatmeal approach taken by the gentleman in the middle.
It's shaping up to be an interesting autumn.

When it comes to a player as good as David Wright that happens to be stuck on a team like the Mets (that isn't very good) you would think that a story like this would be one born of frustration--and you would be wrong. No, this is that other kind of story you would hear about when it comes to the star of a not-so-good team: a goofy accident that could only happen to a team that is down on its luck like the Mets. Your browser does not support iframes. Wright manages to whack himself in the head pretty good when his bat breaks here. Luckily, the only injury will be to his pride when he sees this silly clip replayed on ESPN.

Ok, I have tried to search and can't come up with an acceptable answer I am looking, close but no quite close enough.
I may catch some flak, but oh well. I am looking for the axle width of a front Dana 44 axle for the 2nd gen. No this is no going back into a dodge it will be going into my Jeep Wrangler. I have a high pinion D30 there now and it can handle 35's, but its a thin walled axle and prone to bending (mine already has). My current axle width from hub to hub is 65.5 inchs plus I have 1.5 inch spacer so right now I am at 67inches even. I have found a D44 from a ram is 61 inches from ball joint to ball joint. As long as the axle is 65.5 in width I can make it work. Its a potential bolt on for a cheap upgrade. Currently aftermarket D44 axles are right about 3 to 5 grand. My junkyard has em for 150 bucks. Any info would be appreciated.

Glora Sayers, 85
Glora Sayers
of Bremerton
Feb. 21, 1923
to Sept. 28, 2008
Glora Eloise (Prior) Sayers was born Feb. 21, 1923 to Charles and Edith Prior just north of Brockton, Mont. on her parents' homesteaded farm. She died peacefully Sept. 28 at home with her family.
Glora was one of five daughters. She recalled the bitter cold winters as a girl growing up on the eastern prairie. The sisters' bedroom also served as a cold storage room at times, sharing it with a frozen side of beef. She also loved to tell the story of her attempt to make her fortune raising turkeys. The sisters attended school in a one-room schoolhouse built on land donated by their father. Transportation to school in the winter was by horse-drawn sled piled high with buffalo robes to keep warm. She worked as a farm hand during the war years when the men were off fighting.
On May 31, 1945 she married Ernest Sayers, a local boy from Medicine Lake, Mont. They moved to Bremerton where they raised their three children and Ernie had an opportunity to work at PSNS. Glora was active in Reliance Chapter of Eastern Star and very proud of her 50-year membership. She also was a member of a local craft club and delighted in creating, sewing, knitting and crocheting gifts for her family. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend to all.
Glora was preceded in death by her husband, Ernie, and her grandson, Aaron Funke. She is survived by her three children; Laurel Sayers, David Sayers (Julie), Robert Sayers (Kathy) and grandchildren; Lelaine, Karey, Dawn, Neil, Amanda, Ryan; and six great-grandchildren. Glora is also survived by her four sisters; Rebecca Scott of Fla.; Molly Kapinos of Utah; Shirley Nelson and Donna Alzheimer of Mont.
A memorial service is planned for Oct. 12 at 2 p.m. at West Sound Unity Church on Trenton Ave. in Bremerton. Memorials can be made to the Bremerton Food Line.

Bernanke Makes Inaugural Appearance Before Congress
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: Now, learning Bernanke-speak. The new chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, made his first appearance before Congress this week since taking over the job. And today he testified before the Senate Banking Committee. And he was asked about a wide range of subjects: The price of energy, the impact of deficits, and whether to leave interest rates at their current levels.
BEN BERNANKE: The interest rates we currently see are at some levels historically low. Take mortgage rates for example. They're about 6.25 percent right now, which is relatively low historically.
Senator, there's two possible mistakes: One is to go on too long and one is it not go on long enough. And it's a very difficult balancing act and, as I said earlier, we don't have any kind of mechanical rule. We don't have built in any kind of set of future moves; as we go along, we are going to be looking carefully all at the data, higher energy prices would put pressure on inflation but higher energy prices would also hurt consumer budgets and would probably or could possibly lead consumers to spend less.
Widening deficits over a period of years will reduce national savings, will probably exacerbate the current account deficit, may raise interest rates and will probably inhibit the dynamism of the economy.
JIM LEHRER: And to David Wessel, deputy Washington bureau chief and columnist at the Wall Street Journal.
David first on matters of policy, were there any major differences between what Bernanke said and what his predecessor Alan Greenspan said?
DAVID WESSEL: No, in fact he's trying very hard to convince us all that he is going to continue the monetary policy of Alan Greenspan. Alan Greenspan left office on Jan. 31, saying that more interest rate increases might be necessary and Mr. Bernanke said in his testimony this week that he agrees, more interest rate increases are going to be necessary.
JIM LEHRER: On issues like deficits, are they in sync?
DAVID WESSEL: Well, that's different. Mr. Bernanke was very careful to duck questions about fiscal policy, deficits, taxes, even some questions that Mr. Greenspan in the past has been willing to answer.
Mr. Greenspan, for instance, was a very strong defender of the notion that if Congress cuts tax, they should find offsetting tax increases or spending cuts. But when Mr. Bernanke was asked about that, he took a pass. He said it wasn't his business. So on matters outside of the Fed's narrow purview he's trying to be a lot less open than Mr. Greenspan was when he testified.
JIM LEHRER: What about his overview of the economy right now?
DAVID WESSEL: I think that his overview of the economy was something that Alan Greenspan would have said almost the same thing — perhaps different words but the same sense.
The most interesting moment came where he suggested that just maybe the economy could be on the verge of overheating, that is, growing so fast that it might spark some inflation. That's not something that I remember Mr. Greenspan saying in the last couple of weeks. But that was really the only place. I think he was — he had studied Mr. Greenspan's forecast and was determined to underscore the continuity in monetary policy.
JIM LEHRER: And the overheating of the economy, of course, inflation relates to keep raising interest rates if necessary, right?
DAVID WESSEL: That's right. Mr. Bernanke's prime mission, as he sees it, is to prevent inflation from breaking out and the major tool that the Fed has to do that is to pull the interest rate lever and slow the economy down. He expects them to increasing interest rates in order to produce that result.
JIM LEHRER: Now on the question of style, while the policy was the same, the approach and the use of words, were they the same?
DAVID WESSEL: No, it was really strikingly different. You know, I've been in Washington for almost as long as Mr. Greenspan was the chairman. And you had to sort of get with the Zen of Alan Greenspan. Alan Greenspan was denied some vital vitamin when he was a child and it prevents him from speaking in clear, declarative sentences.
Mr. Bernanke was a very successful college professor. In fact, Congressman Maloney from New York complimented him — and said, you must have been a good teacher — in the testimony this week. He spoke in clear sentences. I think as the clips you showed at the beginning showed, most intelligent people could understand what he's talking about and that's just a big change.
JIM LEHRER: But to give Greenspan his due, he intentionally kept things — he wanted things to be a little bit mystical, did he not or mysterious or not so clear?
DAVID WESSEL: I think he did. In fact, as you know, he joked about that. I think that reflects two things: One is Mr. Bernanke is committed to the notion that the Fed should be very open about what it's doing and why. He comes from a tradition in academics that thinks that the economy works better when everybody understands what the Fed is looking at. So that — and Mr. Greenspan didn't come from that tradition although he moved in that direction over his tenure at the Fed.
And I think the other thing is that Mr. Bernanke thinks that the world really needs to know what his agenda is because it will give them more confidence than he has the smarts and savvy to exceed Mr. Greenspan. I think that was his mission this week and in my opinion he did pretty well.
JIM LEHRER: But that compares with Greenspan, who wanted to keep people guessing a little bit so he would have more flexibility when somebody happened, right?
DAVID WESSEL: Absolutely. Mr. Greenspan maximizes flexibility because you could never go back to him and say, when you testified before Congress, you said this and then you did that, because the this sentence he uttered had so many clauses and caveats that he could never be pinned down. Mr. Bernanke doesn't do that. Now I think he runs a risk because he may some day change his mind when the Fed meets at the end of March, the economy may look different to him than it does today and he my find that being so clear leaves people to compare his statements and suggest that he misled them but for now he's taking this experiment, which will be fun for us to watch.
JIM LEHRER: OK, speaking of fun to watch. It's only about a few days now and style and substance are watched very carefully and related to any Federal Reserve chairman. What's been the reaction thus far in just a few days now to Bernanke and the financial community?
DAVID WESSEL: I think he passed his first test with flying colors. The most important thing he had to do was not to say something silly or something that sent the markets into a tizzy. He spent two days before congressional committees and didn't do that.
I think he got the kid glove treatments from members of Congress. They weren't as tough on him as they had been — some of them had been on Mr. Greenspan. I think he – basically the markets and the politicians and people like me who make a hobby of sort of rating Fed chairmen and there appearances think that he did a pretty good job for a guy who's been on the job for just two weeks.
JIM LEHRER: But a pretty good job in his context or in a Greenspan context, or what kind of context?
DAVID WESSEL: I think in both contexts. As I say, his major mission was, don't make a mistake that embarrasses yourself. So he didn't do that. But I think people were impressed at his facility with a number of issues, at his ability to stand up to some pretty tough questioning today from Sen. Sarbanes about questions of bank charters and so forth.
He seems to have the self confidence to say, Senator, I just don't know about that yet and I'll get back to you.
So I think the reviews you get from the commentary on Wall Street and from what I picked up in the corridors of the capitol are, you know, this guy might actually be able to do the job, thank God.
JIM LEHRER: And the markets went up yesterday and they went up again today. Is there any relationship to that, do you think?
DAVID WESSEL: Well I think the markets went up because we have signs of strength in the economy and because oil prices came down a little bit. I don't think you could say that he caused that. But if he had said something that unnerved the markets, the markets might have gone down.
JIM LEHRER: I see. He had the potential for a negative more than he did for a positive?
DAVID WESSEL: That's correct; that's correct.
JIM LEHRER: Finally, do you expect his every word to be parsed the way Greenspan's were?
DAVID WESSEL: Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, there's no more important economic official in the world. The markets are always looking for clues as to how his thinking is changing and how that will affect rates and they're going to parse every word and he's going to make it easy for them because he speaks so clearly and we'll find out whether he thinks that speaking clearly is as good an idea in practice as he said it was when he was an academic.
JIM LEHRER: Is it your impression that he knows his every word will be parsed?
DAVID WESSEL: I think that none — no one who takes a job like this appreciates the strength of the megaphone they've been handed. And one of these days he's going to say something that strikes him as innocuous and there are going to be ripples in the markets. I've seen it with almost every new Fed official and every Treasury official since I have been in Washington and I expect some day we'll see it with him.
JIM LEHRER: OK. David, thank you very much.
DAVID WESSEL: My pleasure.

Human Development Report 2005: International Cooperation at a Crossroads - Aid, Trade and Security in an Unequal World
Release Date: September, 2005
(also available in Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish)
Sales Number: 05.III.B.1
388 page(s), 8.5x11
Binding: Paperback
Publisher: United Nations Development Programme
Out of Print
The Human Development Report 2005 examines the scale of the challenge facing the world at the start of the ten year countdown to the 2015 Millennium Development Goals mark. The Report focuses on three pillars of cooperation, each of which is in urgent need of renovation. The first pillar is international aid; the MDG project has been compromised by chronic and sustained under-financing, allied to problems in aid quality. The second pillar is international trade; under the right conditions, trade can act as a powerful catalyst for human development. The 'development round' of World Trade Organization talks, launched in 2001, provided northern governments with an opportunity to create those conditions. The third pillar is that of security; violent conflict is a source of systematic human rights violation and a barrier to progress towards the MDGs that must be overcome.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 4/9/13
Last night, at least six times, I heard fans, beat writers and announcers drawing comparisons to Tom Seaver when talking about Matt Harvey. He's quickly becoming not just a Mets story limited only to the five surrounding boroughs, but a national baseball story as well. A cover on the front of Sports Illustrated or ESPN magazine is not far away. Harvey, 24, had his second consecutive scintillating start in a row on Monday evening, holding the Phillies to just one run and three hits over seven innings of work. The righthander struck out nine and now has 19 strikeouts in 14 innings. The seventh overall pick in the 2010 draft is tearing down long-standing records for pitchers who are breaking into the majors and after 12 starts he even had the great Doctor K himself saying, "I am sitting here watching Matt Harvey… this kid is better than advertised … looking forward to watching him every 5th day." One thing I found impressive came from former major leaguer turned ESPN analyst Doug Glanv...

June Hedge Funds: Best, Worst, Biggest
As a child growing up in Paris' wealthy 16th Arrondissement, an elite enclave of French high society, Fabrice Vecchioli was fascinated by his long talks with his grandfather about stocks and bonds. Investing for his own account, the elder Vecchioli made money through World Wars I and II and the Great Depression. "He looked at the opportunities in the darkness," recalls the Belgian-born Vecchioli, 52. "He said it was always good in the long run."
So Vecchioli looked for investment opportunities as soon as he graduated from the esteemed École Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France, in 1986 with a master's degree in mathematics and physics. At a time when European interest rates were falling from historic highs of 18% to 20%, the most lucrative opportunity in sight was in fixed income. Starting out as a market maker in government bonds, he went to work for a couple of French fixed-income managers, following rates all the way down to 3% to 5%. After the dot-com crash of 2000, Vecchioli made the switch to equities, snapping up growth stocks on the cheap. In 2002, he struck out on his own as a long-short global equity hedge fund manager, founding the Parus fund with his younger brother, Edouard, and $4.4 million from family and friends.
Since then, Vecchioli, his brother, and their two portfolio managers have beaten the vast majority of equity hedge funds by being early to spot growth companies that invent, and seem likely to dominate, new technologies. His biggest holding today is Facebook fb 0.43148084225060407% Facebook Inc.

Since then, Apple is up a whopping 1,788%. Prescient bets like that got Vecchioli through the crisis in 2008 with only an 8.9% loss, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 37% that year.

The performance of the Parus portfolio, which has about 35 long positions and as many as 20 shorts at any time, earned a spot on our list of Best 100 Hedge Funds in May. From inception in December 2002 to June 30 this year, the fund's U.S. dollar class has delivered an annualized 17.13% return net of a 1.5% management fee and a 20% performance fee, according to BarclayHedge. For the three years through June 30, the fund is up an annualized 13.92%.
But performance fell virtually flat during the first half of 2014, as investors sold growth stocks, like the ones Parus owns, and took refuge in safer, dividend-paying stocks. To power up the fund, which is currently 15% short and 75% long, Vecchioli is planning to short more stocks. "We really want to short companies that are at risk of disappearing," he says.

Barron's made a case for the other side of the trade in a recent cover story ("Summer Bargains," July 14).
Short positions have generated 21% of the fund's gains since inception.
TODAY, TWO YEARS AFTER Vecchioli moved the Parus office to London from Paris, the Ireland-registered flagship fund has $404.6 million in assets. Another $370 million is in two smaller hedge funds that Vecchioli runs under exactly the same strategy—an offshore fund launched for U.S. investors in April and a fund registered for European investors a year ago. Minimum investments in the funds vary from $135,000 to $500,000.
Vecchioli will buy a stock only if he's convinced the price will rise by at least 15% a year over the next five or six years, based on his model for earnings growth.
A case in point is Facebook. Vecchioli did not invest immediately after the social network's May 2012 initial public offering, he says, because "we were not clear about the mobile strategy." But he took a closer look when the stock price fell by about 50% that summer. But with mobile use growing at nearly 70% year on year, he determined that the company would generate $5 of earnings per share by 2018. At 25 to 30 times earnings, the stock could be worth $125 to $150 by 2018, he figured.
Vecchioli first bought Facebook in September 2012 for about $20 a share; it traded at $75 late last week. He continues to be bullish, noting that about a quarter of all mobile minutes in the U.S. are now spent on Facebook and its photo-sharing app Instagram.

He thought Tesla could sell about 500,000 cars a year for about $50,000 each by 2020, with earnings before interest and taxes of $4 billion; that assumes an operating profit margin of 16%, in line with Porsche and Harley-Davidson. He bought Tesla for about $70 in May 2013; the stock recently traded at $223. Vecchioli recently sold half of his stake in the company, but is still bullish on the stock long term.
"Tesla is a little like Google in the very early days," says Marc Chatin, a portfolio manager at the firm. "It is difficult to do what they do, and it's very much ahead of the competition."
Vecchioli stands ready to change his outlook on a stock when the situation changes dramatically. Earlier this month, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac proposed stricter capital requirements for mortgage-insurance companies such as MGIC Investment mtg -0.2643171806167401% MGIC Investment Corp.

The stocks fell on fears that mortgage insurers could be forced to raise new capital, potentially diluting shareholders.
He bought shares of both companies in March 2013, after delinquency rates on home mortgages had fallen, he says, to "near zero" levels. He thought that profit margins, then negative, would fatten from there. MGIC has more than doubled since then, even after the pullback. Radian is up about 31%. Now Vecchioli is reassessing these investments.
The months ahead could be challenging for the fund as it looks to refresh its gains. But the manager professes not to be worried. Nor, it seems, are his investors.
"Vecchioli has always been early to anticipate structural economic change in the industries he invests in," says Charles de Germiny, a private banker at Pictet in London whose clients invest in the fund. "He's been here before, and he has rebounded."

During the month of June, Devereux celebrates National Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender Pride (LGBTQ) Month along with LGBTQ rights organizations across the country. This is a time for both reflection and celebration of the progress that has been made for LGBTQ equality in America, but also to remember the work that remains to be done.
Research confirms that individuals who are LGBTQ—particularly adolescents—are considered to be at greater risk of becoming victims of harassment, bullying and violence. Some reports estimate that LGBTQ youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual counterparts.
Devereux is committed to providing outstanding services, grounded in cultural competency, to all the individuals we serve, including gender expansive youth, and we continue to cultivate a culture of competency in all the communities where we live and work.
LGBTQ youth in America say that the community in which they live is accepting of LGBTQ people.

The 2006 Tablas Creek Vineyard Counoise is Tablas Creek's third varietal bottling of this traditional blending grape from the Southern Rhone. The Counoise grape has an unusual combination of lush blue and purple fruit (blueberries and cranberries), sweet spice (nutmeg and cinnamon), light-to-medium body, bright acidity, ruby color, and soft tannin.
Our Counoise grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard. We typically use all this Counoise in our Esprit de Beaucastel and Côtes de Tablas wines. However, in years when Counoise spends an unusually long time on the vine, it achieves enough concentration to balance its exuberant fruit, spice and acidity.
The 2006 vintage was a study of contrasts, with a cold, wet start, a very hot early summer, a cool late summer and a warm, beautiful fall. Ample rainfall in late winter gave the grapevines ample groundwater, and produced relatively generous crop sizes. The relatively cool late-season temperatures resulted in a delayed but unhurried harvest, wines with lower than normal alcohols, strong varietal character, and good acids. We began harvesting Counoise, late as usual, on October 24th and continued into early November.
The Counoise grapes were destemmed and fermented in closed-top stainless steel fermenters using only native yeasts. After two weeks, the grapes were is pressed and moved to small neutral French oak barrels, where the wine was aged until it was bottled in May 2008.
The 2006 Counoise is ruby-purple in color, with an aromatic nose of figs, boysenberry and spice. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied, with purple and red fruit flavors and refreshing acidity. Drink this wine in the first 5 years or so to capture its freshness.

Notes included the 2012 Esprit de Tablas Blanc (92 points; "impeccably refined"), 2011 Panoplie (94 points; "pure elegance"), 2012 Patelin de Tablas (90 points; "a gorgeous wine and a fabulous value"), and the 2012 Esprit de Tablas (93-95 points; "a fascinating Esprit to follow over the coming years").

I had the distinct pleasure of tagging along last week on a trade visit to the Perrin family's holdings in the Rhone Valley. Our odyssey began with our thirsty quintet of wine professionals packed into an undersized rental car like foie gras terrine as we traversed from Dijon to Valence. I sat shotgun with GPS in hand and snails in my belly as we watched the landscape change from the sunflowers and Charolais beef pastures of Burgundy to the lavender fields and olive groves of the Rhone.

It is situated on the north-western edge of the Palatinate forest, approximately 10 km west of Kaiserslautern. It is perhaps best known in the U.S. because of the U.S. Army's medical installation. The Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, a U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) post, is often the first stop for American casualties leaving the ongoing conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ramstein Air Force Base is also located nearby. Just be careful driving on the Autobahn in this area!

Jetset Getset Releases New Album, SATURDAY NIGHT
After spending two years performing throughout the South and Midwest, teen-country music group Jetset Getset (JSGS) has released their first professionally produced album, "Saturday Night," on the Nashville-based Playback Records label. With 10 tracks about love and friendship, the album "adeptly shows off the trio's pitch-perfect, three-part harmonies, backed by some of Nashville's top studio musicians."
"Jetset Getset is terrific," said Jack Gale, president of Playback Records. "There are very few kids singing country music, and these girls' harmonies are different from anything that anyone else is doing."
"We are really proud of this album," said singer Avery Eliason, 14. "It was exciting to work with such experienced artists and producers."
Based in Dearborn County, Indiana, Jetset Getset is comprised of Eliason and fellow singers Tori Little and Sadie Loveland, both 15. They are backed, in live performances, by bass player Paul Kelley, 15; guitarist Jason Owens, 16; drummer Aaron Smith, 16; and guitarist Justen Jette, 14. The group was formed in 2011 by manager Kelli Jette, who discovered the girls separately and became convinced they would sound great together.
"These are strong, independent, young women," Jette said. "They are incredibly talented and hard-working. Audiences who have never seen Jetset Getset fall in love with them, wherever they perform."
Prior to the release of "Saturday Night," JSGS had performed a mix of original songs and cover tunes on the nationally syndicated "Shotgun Red Variety Show" on RFD-TV in Nashville, as well as many other venues including the Indiana State Fair, the Kentucky State Fair, the Minnesota State Fair, and the Kentucky Speedway, where the group's "NASCAR Song" was a big hit with the crowd of racing fans. However, it was their signature song, "Indiana Baby," that initially attracted the most attention. A homemade music video showing the girls as they take an imaginary tour across America, has been viewed more than 70,000 times on YouTube.
With "Saturday Night" and an accompanying music video for the title track, Jetset Getset hopes to exceed the success of their previous CD. Each song on the new album features clever lyrics and catchy melodies. Some were composed by veteran country music songwriters, including several by Tom Laden, who has written for Reba McIntire, Kenny Rogers, Restless Heart and Faith Hill, among other top performers. The song "Saturday Night" was composed by British songwriter Nelson King. Other tracks on the album are original.

We had heard all about the number of cordon bleu chefs per square mile and how wonderful the french food was in Grand Case, and had eaten there a couple times but this little place was right near our resort, right on the lagoon and the food was great. It was our last night and we just sort of stumbled into this wonderful restaurant. The staff was actually "friendly" (on the friendly island) and the food was fresh and tasty!!! Our waiter was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu and the food. The restaurant had a very cool, rustic, urban vibe!

It's an unfortunate fact that online gaming involves tolerating a remarkable amount of rudeness, vulgarity, poor sportsmanship, and plain old bad manners. Some game communities are a little more mature than others, but you can generally expect this sort of misbehavior in just about every multiplayer game you come across. I understand that people are largely anonymous online, and they can get very emotionally involved in the competition, but that's no reason to throw out any semblance of politeness or decency. I've put together a few pointers on good online gaming etiquette, although I suspect the worst offenders aren't likely to take notice.
Play Fair
Cheating and using exploits is an admission that you can't win without them. Furthermore, you'll find winning a fair fight a lot more rewarding. If winning is really important to you, keep practicing and learn from what successful players are doing. Should the competition prove to be too much for you, finding a different game is a better solution than cheating.
Be A Good Sport
Laughing at defeated opponents, bragging about your achievements, overdoing it with taunts and emotes, all make you look childish. The fact is, even children should know better. An appropriate emote used at the right moment can be a beautiful thing, but when it accompanies every encounter in the game, it turns into that much more mindless spam, which brings us to our next rule.
Don't Spam
You really don't need to hammer the chat system with WTS messages to sell an item, nor do you need to use every channel in the game when there is a channel dedicated to trade. If people aren't interested, repeating a message in chat every 3 seconds isn't likely to change that. Wait a minute or two, and maybe you'll start to get through to a new audience.
Spare Us the Caps
C'mon people, this is a no-brainer that has been around since the dawn of the Internet - don't use all capital letters in chat. It's the text equivalent of yelling at everyone, and nobody wants to be yelled at.
You Were a Noob Too
Nobody can pick up a new game and instantly familiarize themselves with all its nuances and details. There are heaps of acronyms and slang particular to each game, and it's absurd to expect people to know these things without a little help from other players. Someone once explained to you what was going on, now you can do the same, rather than simply telling them they're "noobs" and leaving it at that.
A Little Teamwork, Please
If you're part of a team, try to cooperate with your teammates a little. Rambo-style gameplay rarely pays off in a team-oriented game, so don't expect your teammates to be right behind you when you go kamakazi into a gauntlet of enemies. Also keep in mind that actually winning the match is more important than being at the top of the scoreboard.
Don't Be a Quitter
It's amazing how often people will disconnect without a word when they're losing, or drop out when their group encounter isn't going well. If you don't think you can win, surrender. If your instance run isn't going well, try to work it out politely or offer some friendly advice. At times when your group isn't up to the task, explain the problem to others without insulting them. You never know what kind of solutions people will come up with until you give them a chance.
Not Everyone Who Wins Is a Cheater
Just because another player kills you a couple times does not mean that they're cheating. As good as you may think you are at any game, there are likely a lot of players who are just as good or better than you are. If you're as hot as all that, then start playing professionally in LAN tournaments where there is no way to cheat. If you're almost certain that someone is cheating, report them to an admin and let them investigate rather than throwing around accusations you can't back up.
Camping Is a Lame Tactic
Although some games encourage it, camping spawn points and corpses is generally a lame tactic. In many cases it's only possible because of flawed game design, but it's still a weak strategy that players with any dignity don't resort to.
Ignore Insults
When someone insults you, your best option is to ignore them. If the insults persist, most chat and voice systems have 'ignore' functions to ensure that further communications from them are blocked. Returning the insults typically only escalates the exchange into something you'll regret later.
Enjoy the Game
Games are meant to be fun, and if you can't laugh it off when things go wrong, or forgive a team member for screwing up, then maybe it's time for a break. Most of us have enough stress in our lives, we don't really care to add a bunch of gaming stress to that. When you start taking it too seriously, it defeats the purpose of playing a game in the first place.
