Herb Ritts and the Cult of the Celebrity Photographer
Man, the 80s and 90s were a heady time for fashion. All you had to do was either be a model or someone who took pictures of models (or rock stars, movie stars, athletes…) and you became so famous that people started equating your work taking pretty pictures of pretty people being pretty with fine art. At least in Los Angeles in 2012. Continue reading

Copenhagen: Roofs Under the Snow, My New Favorite Painting of the Day
There was a lot of ornately carved marble, sandstone and alabaster, great, big Victorian portraits of unfortunate looking British people, various Rodins, Degas', Gauguins and Monets, and on a wall, next to a doorway to a gallery was a tiny, tiny canvas called Copenhagen: Roofs Under the Snow by Peder Severin Krøyer.

Wheelchairs the bring the gift of mobility to millions of disabled individuals, until rough terrain gets in the way.
What if we could give people even more flexibility regardless of nature's conditions?
Continuum helped MIT's Mobility Lab envision the next generation of the Leveraged Freedom Chair. With variable speed controls just like high or low gears on a mountain bike, the new off-road chair was impactful from the start in testing. It moved 76% faster on flat ground and got 51% higher torque on rough terrain. Most importantly, it delivered a newfound sense of emotional independence.
The award-winning wheelchair is actively being developed in the United States by Global Research Innovation & Technology (GRIT). GRIT plans to have a ridable prototype of the high performance chair by the end of 2013. For more information about the chair, its current development process, and ordering information, please visit www.gogrit.org.

NCCU at Wagner men's basketball game canceled (snow)
Jan. 03, 2014 @ 07:34 PM
Snowstorms in and around the Staten Island area of New York forced game officials to cancel the third matchup between N.C. Central University men's basketball and Wagner which was scheduled to be played Saturday.
The storm that hit the northeast piled as much 14 inches of snow in some areas. States on the way up north like Maryland and Delaware also were hit with a significant amount of snow which caused for major travel concerns.
NCCU said that the contest will not be rescheduled "at this time."
NCCU (7-4) will take the weekend off before taking on the Pirates of Hampton University in a nonconference game Tuesday at McDougald-McLendon Gym at 7 p.m.

Exactly -- or what about Vanderbilt? One of the best medical schools in the country.
CNY Nurse: Nursing is a difficult job. Believe me, I can vouch from personal experience. There is no excuse, however, for the poor outcomes from the area hospitals. Over the past twenty years, I have watched nursing change from a profession to a blue collar job; I have watched nurses take the brunt of budget cuts and the brunt of poor administrative decision making. The model for nursing in this region is about 30 years behind the rest of the country. In addition, nurses have no power or prestige and little authority in the decision making that goes on within the hospitals. Blaming nursing, however for these poor outcomes is short sighted. The hospital administrators are to blame and there is no way around that. If given a choice, I would certainly choose NOT to have anything done at any of the local hospitals and there are many health care professionals who feel the same way. When physicians, nurses, and administrators choose to go outside the region for health care, then you know there is a problem.
Toad: What in the world are you saying? Bad business practices and ethics don't matter if someone has a lot of money? Really??? Where did this "admire a money grubbing thief" attitude come from? Americans are so stupid right now. Anyone with money is revered and anyone with ethics is denounced. Congel is making his money off of the backs of the poor people of Syracuse. He is NOT paying taxes and he is scheming the system. It is no wonder that the name PYRAMID is associated with that place! His influence can be felt on all of the major institutions in Syracuse including SUNY Upstate who have also fallen under the spell of the Congel business model. This man is contributing to the down fall of central New York and all you can think about is his ability to weasel money out of the system at your expense. And you admire him for cheating the citizens of this area. WOW!
I wouldn't set foot in that place. My guess is that there are many others on here who feel the same way.
Then he shouldn't have his picture taken with Congel.
Why do you like Donald Trump? He wouldn't even shake your hand, glance your direction, or give you a second out of his day! Name one thing this man has ever done that is noble? One thing. Just one.
What does that have to do with the story about Trump?
Abortions will be done regardless of who pays or regardless of legality. This is a class issue and Miss Ann Marie knows this. Wealthy women will always be able to find a doctor to do a "procedure", and these women will be hospitalized -- probably even have the "procedure" renamed so that their insurance will cover it. It will always be safe and available for the wealthy.
No one should be asking the chancellor of SU or the President of SUNY upstate. These two people came into this city in order to gain personal wealth and professional gain -- they have no interests other than their own and they should not be considered in the equation. They are not representative of their own institutions and they do not look out for the individuals, students, and employees of those institutions. These two people are representative of corruption and that is all.
You voted in a conservative regime which means no tax increases, no funding for infrastructure, no interest in building human capital, NO CORPORATE TAXES, tax breaks for the wealthy, and more slave labor as we move to a two class system. We aren't even a civilization, but more like a system that is in place to serve the wealthy. Upstate medical buys buildings and is suddenly tax exempt, Congel always finds a way to get out of paying his share, and even the new representative Buerkle has tax issues. If you voted for these jokers, then stop complaining.
Trump has been married three times and has been bankrupt even more. What exactly are this man's credentials? Even though the guy is a joke, I would like to see him run so that he would have to release his tax information -- and shake hands with all of the peasants who cannot afford dental care. His family on the campaign trail would be a great reality show.
Kathleen, may I remind you: "A lie told often enough becomes the truth." Lenin
You say, "Upstate is tax exempt period." I understand this concept. It is suppose to function as a tax supported organization. Then, tell me why these buildings will be private. Who will own these buildings? I am seriously asking this question. How can a state organization that is suppose to function as part of the PUBLIC good, run by PUBLIC servants, created by PUBLIC money have privately owned buildings that they will probably profit from. Who will receive the profits? Will the money then be used for the PUBLIC good or will it be used for the already inflated salaries of the administrators?
Sister: What does it mean to "act like a doctor"? It is a physician's OBLIGATION to report wrong doing. I am sorry if you do not know the moral obligations of physicians, but you need to take a crash course before you begin writing in short hand and sound like an ignorant uninformed woman. Addtionally, have you ever heard of something called "free speech" and maybe even a "free press?" Thank goodness that there are physicians out there who are interested in more than increasing their income and buying a second home. Thank goodness for physicians who actually care about patients and worry about dangerous medical practices. Sister -- you need to get a grip. Go back to school, learn how to write, learn how to use the term COFFEE rather than "joe" and realize the difference between a moral obligation and GROUP THINK!
x2420: An error? Do you think patient safety is an error??? Wow!!
It is not HIPAA violation to report physician misconduct. Physicians may share information about patients without releasing identifying information. That is not a violation. And reporting misconduct is an obligation -- IT IS THE LAW! This is NOT a HIPAA violation. Believe me, if I were the one of those patients, I would most certainly want that information shared with the health department rather than with two private investigators.
Well. She IS the poster child for teen pregnancy. Sort of like a spokesperson.
Question #4 was a case study -- I think I know that guy. He chose the radiologist not the anesthesiologist, however, because she owned the office and equipment and raked in a fortune for each x-ray. Made way more than the anesthesiologist. That must have been a trick question.

News and notes on the restaurant scene from dining critic Carol Deptolla
Small-plates menus debut at Mia Famiglia, Le Reve, Von Trier
More restaurants are catering to diners' cravings for little portions of a spectrum of different flavors with tapas, or small plates. An Italian restaurant has added a small-plates menu, a French restaurant is starting one next week, and a longtime German bar has begun serving small plates, too.
Mia Famiglia — A brief but varied menu of tapas now supplements this Hales Corners restaurant's regular menu of full-size Italian plates.
The menu rolled out in March includes shrimp scampi in nasturtium butter, with seven-cheese and chive risotto ($7); tuna carpaccio with black olive and sun-dried tomato tapenade ($8); and arugula salad with portobello mushrooms, goat cheese, strawberries and blood orange vinaigrette ($7).
Mia Famiglia is at 10049 W. Forest Home Ave.; (414) 425-0507.
Le Reve Patisserie & Café — Le Reve is launching its French tapas menu on April 9. It will be available from 3 to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, replacing the lunch and dinner menus in that time period.
A peek at the menu shows items such as duck-fat fries ($4), three preparations of mussels served with baguette ($5), including Pernod and herbs; and fried artichokes with tomato coulis and Parmesan ($6).
Le Reve is at 7610 Harwood Ave., Wauwatosa;(414) 778-3333.
Von Trier — For decades, this east side bar served only popcorn (free!) to go with its beers and cocktails. Now there's a small-plates menu that also suggests beer and wine pairings for the dishes.
Dishes by chef Christian Schroeder include duck confit flatbread ($10); chicken, pork sausage and vegetables with puff pastry ($11); bratwurst, knackwurst and weisswurst with potato purée, curried ketchup and mustard ($9); and dates stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in prosciutto and basil ($7.50).
Von Trier is at 2235 N. Farwell Ave.; (414) 272-1775.

Health/Medical Journal Databases
When doing research on health law topics, it is often useful or even necessary to make use of health science materials. Researchers and practitioners in the the health science field rely on journal articles as a primary communication medium because they can be published much more quickly than books, thus rapidly spreading the latest medical information to those who need it. Textbooks are relied on secondarily, to provide a standard overview of a particular medical practice area. To identify standard medical textbooks, see "Medical Books and Literature" in the Attorneys' Medical Deskbook or contact a librarian at the Health Sciences Library.

The Vampire Diaries
Is Professor Shane a Vampire? The Vampire Diaries Fan Question of the Day
Professor Shane (David Alpay) is an enigma, wrapped in a riddle, wrapped in a blazer and witch herb smoke. The Vampire Diaries' floppy-haired teacher has a lot of ancient knowledge, but does that mean he's a vampire?
Probably not, but we can see where the confusion comes from. In Season 4, Episode 10, "After School Special," Shane nearly drowned then was impaled with a metal pole by Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic). Yet he walked away as if he had some supernatural healing powers.
Actually, he did. Bonnie (Kat Graham) performed a protection spell that unintentionally linked him to April (Grace Phipps). The human girl suffered the brunt of Kol's attack, nearly dying in the process. But without the witch's intervention, we're pretty sure Shane would've been one dead human.
Or maybe he's a witch who lost his powers. He certainly seems to have some connection to Silas, and some viewers have suggested they're the same person.
However, we think he's just a lonely guy whose wife and son died who would do anything to get him back — though we'd call the prof closer to crazy than just "passionate." You know he's heard those rumors that Silas will destroy the world and is just choosing to ignore them.

For 2014, it's to do or not to do
Number 1 on my to-do list for the new year is to stop making to-do lists.
The problem with my to-do lists has been that I generally put things on them that I am very unlikely, in point of fact, to actually do. These items require effort and follow-through and occasionally looking at the list to remember what is on them.
(Of course, first you actually have to find the list, which you've put in a safe place so you wouldn't lose it. Which is actually Number 6 on the to-do list — "Don't lose this list" — and Number 7 as well — "Don't put any lists in a place that's so safe you won't remember what that place is." It also could be Number 12, "Don't hide the list where you've hidden the chocolate, because not only will you not find it, but it may have bugs crawling over significant list items.")
These to-do items that require so much effort are complex, demanding items like "finish writing the novel." That generally comes right after the complex, demanding item about "start writing the novel."
My current to-do list also has on it items that are probably too general, like "be nice to dogs." How can you cross that out if you don't know how many dogs that means? Or if it refers to a specific breed or does it just mean never saying the word "labradoodle?"
So what happens is, these long-term to-dos stay on the list for months and even years, building little lofts with eat-in kitchens near the top of the list. Some of the items on the list even try to join the co-op board, although, so far, they have not been able to get enough votes to make it.
After several months on the to-do list, the items become even bolder and start staring back at me with a self-satisfied smirk. You can't cross us out, buddy. We belong here. They start laughing among themselves while smoking cigarettes and blowing smoke in my face even though they know that smoking is banned inside my list, although you are allowed to eat pretzel nuggets.
While the to-do lists are full of items I will never do, they never seem to include the stuff I actually do, the stuff I can cross off a list most any day, giving me that real satisfaction of knowing I haven't spent the whole day watching YouTube videos of raccoons on a trampoline.
So if I'm actually going to do a to-list for 2014, it's going to include items like this:
Get up.
Really, get up.
OK, stop hitting the snooze button.
All right, maybe just one more time.
Brush my teeth. With toothpaste
First, squeeze toothpaste out of tube.
Put cap back on toothpaste tube.
Enough with the exercise. Time to eat breakfast, which should be balanced nutritionally and not include more than half a dozen Twizzlers.
Stop making to-do lists.

The South Carolina Governor's School for Science & Mathematics has made The Washington Post's list of top performing schools with elite students.
The list identified 23 schools from around the country that have SAT or ACT averages above the highest averages for neighborhood schools nationally. Schools on the list were not ranked.
The South Carolina Governor's School for Science & Mathematics was the only South Carolina school on the list.
Located in Hartsville, the Governor's School for Science & Mathematics is a two-year public boarding school for 11th- and 12th-graders that focuses on science, technology, engineering and math with an emphasis on economics and entrepreneurship. It currently has 220 students enrolled from 32 counties across the state.
The governor's school was excluded from the Post's list of "America's Most Challenging High Schools: Top 100" because of its admissions rules and high test scores. According to The Washington Post website, the most challenging high schools list recognizes "schools that challenge average students."
Academic Magnet High School in North Charleston ranked 61 on the list of most challenging high schools. It was the only South Carolina school to make that list.

Great product, absorbs well .aftr using this product for 2 weeks I am noticing a reduction in my 43 year old wrinkles and fine lines. Will definTely repurchase.
Allergic Reaction to this!
Posted by 5033594838694084837 on Apr 06, 2014
I tried this only once because I was highly allergic to it! Gave me itchy watery red eyes the entire night! Must be all the chemicals it contains. I do not have this problem with other eye creams. It does smell good though and it was cheap so I gave it away.
Moisterise well.

Effective light trapping in single coaxial nanowires
Hybrid, coaxial nanowire photovoltaic cells, consisting of a crystalline silicon (c-Si) core and an amorphous silicon (a-Si) shell are an appealing idea. In such c-Si/a-Si coaxial photovoltaic cells, the c-Si core can act as an efficient charge collector to compensate for short charge diffusion lengths of a-Si, whereas the a-Si shell can be used as an excellent energy absorber to overcome poor light absorption of c-Si. As a matter of fact, a few groups [Nature 449 885 (2007); Nano Lett. 10 4093 (2010)] have made such coaxial nanostructures and tested the great light absorption nature of the devices. However, the underlying physics of light absorption in the coaxial nanowire system requires further investigation.
In a recent article published in Nanotechnology [22 125705 (2011)], researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and Boston College, US, have reported a thorough theoretical study of the light absorption in single c-Si/a-Si coaxial nanowires. The team has made great progress in establishing the fundamental mechanism of light absorption in c-Si/a-Si coaxial nanowires. In addition, the group found the geometrical optimum condition for coaxial nanowires, which provides efficient energy absorption while retaining excellent charge collection.
"We've obtained an increase in photocurrent of up to 560% in coaxial nanowires compared with silicon nanowires. It is beautiful that this happens when the a-Si shell thickness is equal to the c-Si core diameter." Mr W F Liu, the first author of the article, told nanotechweb.org.
Stepping-stone device
In addition, the group showed how to obtain a further increase in photocurrent (up to 60%) by coating nonabsorbing dielectric SiO2 shells on the coaxial nanowires (see schematic view). "These super-hybrid c-Si (core)/a-Si (inner shell)/SiO2 (outer shell) coaxial nanowires were considered in related work, and we believe they serve as a stepping stone to developing highly efficient integrated power sources to drive nanoelectronic devices." added Dr J I Oh, a co-author of the study.
Prof. Shen, who leads the team, revealed that the group is developing a prototype coaxial nanowire photovoltaic cell, which he hopes will complete the story of coaxial nanowires for photovoltaic applications.

OK, what part about this being discussed to death in the forums are you not getting? We've seen the tests. And "academically" nV News can post whatever it wants, however it wants. If you don't like it, go elsewhere it's that simple.
And what's "biased" about the results? In just about every single test across the board, ATI wins. But the margins are completely different and that's why you have to take into account the fact that 1) this is a
game, 2) test sites used different driver versions on the NVIDIA cards (61.77 and 65.62).
I will say to you once again, read the thread I linked to. There is plenty of discussion there where people are drawing their own conclusions.
Also, I am not an "enemy" of NVNews: actually NVNEWS is my current homepage when I start my Internet browser - and has been that during the last 4 years.

I'm slightly obsessed with puff pastry. It's a magical thing, that puff pastry. It can transform a normal dish into something fancy, and make it look like you did a lot of work, even if you bought your puff pastry instead of making it yourself. Because come on, seriously, who has time to make their own puff pastry? I'm not Superwoman.
These Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry Shells fall into the category of "accidentally vegan." For one of my first vegan Thanksgivings, I filled these with a wild mushroom ragout (sauteed wild mushrooms, plenty of garlic and fresh herbs, and a touch of vegan sour cream), but you could also use these for desserts, and fill them with a sweet custard and berries, for example. They are very versatile and work well with sweet or savory fillings. And I guarantee your guests will say, "ooh, fancy," and be all impressed and stuff, even though it's really quite easy to make these.
I saw this recipe for Tal Ronnen's Chick'n Pot Pie on the Gardein website and had been wanting to try it. I made the filling according to the directions, but instead of pouring it into ramekins and covering with puff pastry sheets, as Chef Tal suggests, I just spooned the filling into these shells. Simply bake the shells according to the package directions, then spoon the warm filling inside and serve immediately.
Another note: these pastry shells come 6 to a box. The Pot Pie recipe made probably enough for 10 - 12 of these, so you could either cut the filling recipe in half, if you only want to make 6, or you can make the recipe as is and use 2 boxes of the pastry shells. The puff pastry doesn't reheat all that well, though, so I recommend making the exact number that you're going to serve.
These were so delicious, and I felt like they were just the right portion size, as the filling and the pastry shells are both rather rich. These would make a very nice first course/appetizer for your holiday menu, or even a main course along with all the sides.
Bake the shells according to package directions.
Use a fork to gently lift the top off of the shell.
Fill and serve. Oooh, fancy!

Happy new year lovely lady, I hope 2013 is very kind to you xx
Happy New Year to you too! I always like to have all the decorations down and the house cleaned ready for New Year! Out with the over indulgence and in with some wintery walks and looking forward to the Spring! X
Happy New Year! Some lovely words to kick start my first day back at work. xx
A Very Happy New Year to you and your family!
With a 16 month old, we spent the evening cooking Haggis, watching Jools Holland and then having a 'lounge rave' listening to Channel Four's House Party and reminiscing about years gone by out clubbing in Bournemouth
Happy, happy new year to the OLS family! I prefer to have my decorations down before the new year as well – although the "naked" tree is STILL standing in the living room (giving the husband the evil eye) at the moment. I must admit, I didn't make it to ring in the new year – I was asleep. But still, I'm expecting this to be a great year!
wow can't believe ye all take down your decorations so early – we never take them down until 6th Jan or Little Christmas its a tradition in Ireland so bear rooms not until Sunday for me will be sad to see them go the room always looks empty and the soft little twinkle lights always to cheer me up but another year gone by where does the time go?
I am nearly there with the xmas decs, the worst bit is putting the boxes back in the attic. It seems to have gone so quickly this year, is that a sign of age creeping up?
We had my husbands nephew over for christmas and a new friend for christmas dinner who we recently met. Then we both succumbed to a gastric bug for 3-4 days! It was our wedding anniversay on the 2nd Jan, but didnt manage to celebrate as we wanted but am sure we will make up for it at some point!
I have a few things that I want to kick start/alter etc ths year, so lets see what happens!
Lol G x
Every time I click on to your blog you seem more and more glam. Looks like you've had a good holiday time. Happy new year darling, I wish you and your family all the best in 2013 xx

Apartment fire damages 20 units, displaces more than 30 people
An early afternoon blaze at Royal Oaks Apartments left more than 30 people displaced after fire ravaged 20 units in one of the apartment buildings.
Durham Fire Chief Dan Curia said all of the apartments in the building were damaged either by fire or by smoke and water and that the building appears to be a total loss.
No injuries were reported and all 40 occupants were accounted for. No one had to be rescued from any units.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated but it apparently began in a rear bedroom of Apartment 106, Curia said Monday afternoon.
American Red Cross Triangle Region is providing displaced residents food, shelter, clothing and other immediate needs. Red Cross workers arrived on the scene while fire fighters continued to battle the blaze. Curia said that the Red Cross is assisting 25 residents.
Jersey Mikes and Fire House Subs have partnered with the Red Cross to provide food for the displaced families and first responders. Royal Oaks Apartments is working with the Red Cross to find empty units for those affected by the fire
Seven fire trucks and 50 firefighters responded to the blaze, Curia said, and he was still on the scene at 6:30 p.m. Monday.
Curia said that firefighters received the call at 12:30 p.m. and arrived to see flames and smoke billowing from the building. Firefighters had the fire under control by later that afternoon but remained on the scene into the evening.
"Monday's fire was at least the fourth major blaze at the apartment complex in the past 10 years," Curia said.
The fire forced many residents to quickly scrounge for clothes and any essentials they could before evacuating their homes.
Paula Mabrey has been a resident since about 2008. She went door to door, warning neighbors of the blaze.
"I was looking at T.V. when I heard the doorbell ring," she said. "I went to the door and I heard the kids crying in the hall. I opened the door and saw smoke."
Mabrey said that she believes blaze began in her neighbor's apartment. Her neighbor was not available for comment.
Mabrey said that she went back into her apartment to put on clothes and get her fire extinguisher. When she returned, she said, the hallway was filled with black smoke and all she could do was warn as many people as she could.
"I told everyone to get out," she said. "I got a fire extinguisher and tried to put out the fire but the hall was completely black. I just panicked and left."
One of the doors that Mabrey knocked on was that of longtime resident Greg Berry.
Having lived in Royal Oaks apartments since 1984, Berry said that he knows of four fires throughout the complex but never had a fire directly affect him.
"I live on the opposite end of Paula," he said. "I was waiting on a delivery of medical supplies but it was her knocking, saying it was a fire. So when I opened the door, there was smoke in the hallway."
Still in his pajamas, Berry said, he went back into his apartment and put on a pair of jeans, grabbed his cell phone and ATM card and left.
"The fire trucks were here within 10 to 15 minutes," Berry said. "They got here quickly."
Another Royal Oaks resident waiting on the lawn was.
Angelica Samuels said she had lived in Apartment 103 on the far right corner of the building for about four years and thought that the fire alarm was another prank.
"There have been a number of fires in the complexes," Smauels said. "I felt untouchable. I just thought some children had pulled the fire alarm."
Samuels said that she was about to take a nap when Mabrey knocked on her door.
"I opened the door and there were two feet of smoke above my door," she said.
Samuels said that among the items she lost were several personal journals and paintings she had made for her parents.
"A miracle can save my stuff but everyone keeps telling me no," she said. "All I have is my phone. This is very emotional. I've never been through anything like this before."
