68 years ago today a wee bonnie lad was born in the small Scottish town of Forfar who would one day grow up and become one of the greatest rock n' roll singers of all time. The lad's name was Ronald Belford Scott but he's better known us all as Bon Scott, original vocalist of Australian hard rock legends AC/DC. Before his untimely death in 1980, Bon earned a reputation for living life to the extreme and indulging liberally in the unholy trinity of sex, drugs and rock n' roll. OK, that's not totally fair to say. He liked drinking way more than drugs. But a cursory examination of the Bon-era AC/DC songbook shows his affection for sex and rock n' roll to be off the charts. Especially sex. So while he long ago took the highway to hell to the great rock n' roll party down below, let's celebrate Bon Scott's birthday today and crank up some of the filthiest songs in the AC/DC catalog.
"Go Down" (1977)
Sample lyric:
Mary, Mary you're the one for me
And the way you hum
Sting me like a bumble bee
I'll be round to see you 'bout
'Bout half past ten
Ain't felt this good
Since I don't know when
You got the touch that I need so much
In your finger tips
I got the honey that ya love to taste
On those lovely lips
"Big Balls" (1976)
Sample lyric:
Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls should be held every night

I've also switched to a sumo stance. My question is this: How do I go about improving my initial pull? The last time I pulled, my last attempt was 335lbs and I got it moving about 4inches and couldn't budge it after that. Any thoughts?

Share market data with clients just one millisecond before sending it to the public and you could be looking at a fine from the SEC.
That's what the New York Stock Exchange did according to the SEC it's being fined $5 million as a result.
The regulator says the NYSE gave some of its own proprietary customers an improper head start on trading information before sharing it with the public. The fine marks the first-ever SEC financial penalty against an exchange.
"Improper early access to market data, even measured in milliseconds, can in today's markets be a real and substantial advantage that disproportionately disadvantages retail and long-term investors," said Robert Khuzami, Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "That is why SEC rules mandate that exchanges give the public fair access to basic market data. Compliance with these rules is especially important given exchanges' for-profit business interests"
The NYSE and its parent company NYSE Euronext agreed to a settlement without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations.
"NYSE Euronext is pleased to have this matter resolved, and believes that the settlement is in the best interest of its shareowners, clients and employees. We will continue to take every responsible measure to ensure that our market operates with the utmost fairness and transparency," said CEO Duncan L. Niederauer .
SEC rules prohibits the practice of improperly sending market data to proprietary customers before sending that data to be included in what are known as consolidated feeds, which broadly distribute trade and quote data to the public. This ensures the public has fair access to current market information about the best displayed prices for stocks and trades that have occurred.
According to the SEC', NYSE proprietary data feeds which send real-time data about NYSE's entire order book and quotes for each security were faster path to customers than the path used to send data to the consolidated feed. "Also there was a software issue in the internal NYSE system that sent data to the consolidated feed. The disparities in data release times ranged from single-digit milliseconds to multiple seconds," the SEC says.

Patriots practice Tuesday: Logan Mankins (ankle), Alfonzo Dennard (knee) return, Aaron Dobson (foot) not spotted
|01.07.14 at 11:37 am ET
FOXBORO — The Patriots escaped the frigid temperatures outdoors and moved practice inside Dana Farber Field House Tuesday morning as they began on-field preparations for Andrew Luck and the Colts this Saturday night in an AFC divisional playoff at Gillette Stadium.
Logan Mankins, who injured his ankle in the season finale against the Bills on Dec. 29, was back on the practice field as was cornerback Alfonzo Dennard. Mankins played in all 16 games this season while Dennard missed three games, including the season finale with a knee injury.
Rookie receiver Aaron Dobson, who re-injured his left foot in the Dec. 29 win over the Bills, was the only player not spotted.
A new receiver was on the field wearing No. 84. The player was later identified in the locker room as Reggie Dunn, the former Utah Utes speedster that set an NCAA record in 2012 by returning four kickoffs for touchdowns.
The Patriots were originally going to practice outside but moved practice indoors to the Dana Farber Field House due to the sub-zero wind chills in Foxboro.
A warming trend is expected to hit New England by Saturday, with an early forecast calling for the chance of rain and temperatures in the low-to-mid 40s for the 8:15 p.m. kickoff.

All three main UK political parties now base their economic arguments on a premise which has come to be accepted as truth, but which may be false. The premise is that 'there is no money left' and this is used to justify austerity. We don't want to cut, the argument goes, but there is no money left, so we have to make difficult decisions.
The political economist Ann Pettifor, former head of Jubilee 2000 and now an associate of the New Economics Foundation and policy advisor for Prime Economics, was on BBC Radio 4's Today programme this morning, talking about how to address the Cyprus crisis.

Snooki's little man, Lorenzo, may not be talking yet, but that isn't stopping the reality TV guidette from teaching her baby important family traditions.
"Teaching Lorenzo his prayers!!!" Snooki tweeted yesterday (December 2).
Who knew that the girl who used to stumble around the Seaside boardwalk looking for gorilla juiceheads had a religious side? Our mama meatball is maturing!
As for what else Snooks is passing along to her baby bambino? Lorenzo was seen fist-pumping in his sleep last month. What a natural.

In a year in which the Republican Party's proportional delegate allocation rules have ruled out a quick end to the presidential race, it isn't possible for any candidate to use this week's Super Tuesday primaries to lock up the GOP nomination. With new polls showing he has either caught or surpassed Rick Santorum in the crucial Ohio and Tennessee primaries, Mitt Romney can take a crucial step toward the nomination in tomorrow's 10-state showdown. If Romney wins in both of those states, that may mean Santorum could end the day without a single triumph to his name. With the fading Newt Gingrich ahead in his adopted home state of Georgia, a Super Tuesday shutout might be a telling blow to Santorum. By tomorrow night, Santorum's February surge may well be replaced by a March collapse.
The reason for Romney's growing strength isn't hard to discern. The frontrunner's problems have not gone away. He still has trouble connecting with voters and conservatives have yet to accept him as one of their own. But the continued presence of two weak conservative rivals in the field have nevertheless put Mitt Romney in position to solidify his delegate lead as well as strengthen the impression he is the inevitable Republican standard bearer.
Romney's path to the nomination remains the same as it was before the votes started being cast. With conservatives unable to unite behind a single, viable candidate, the well-funded Romney has managed to survive the scorn of most Tea Partiers and evangelicals and continued to pile up pluralities in most of the contests. Few in the party are sold on him, and the slight revival of the economy in recent months has even cast some doubt on his electability against a strengthened Barack Obama. But politics is always a matter of comparisons, and alongside Santorum and Gingrich, not to mention the libertarian outlier Ron Paul, Romney looks like the only one with even a prayer in November.
Santorum had his chance last week in Michigan to turn the race around and send Romney into a tailspin from which he might not have recovered. But in the week before that vote, his long record of embarrassing statements on social issues caught up to him in much the same way some of Gingrich's personal and political baggage eventually dragged him down during his two surges in the polls. With both of his main rivals crippled in this manner and with each of them ensuring the other can never achieve a one-on-one confrontation with Romney, the former Massachusetts governor has become, almost by default, a frontrunner and is now on the verge of being acclaimed as the certain nominee.
The keys to achieving that status will be found in Ohio and Tennessee. Romney's momentum looks like it will be enough to carry him over the top in the big prize tomorrow in Ohio. However, Tennessee could be just as important. It is the sort of southern state that Romney is expected to lose because its Republican electorate is largely made up of voters who have shunned him so far. But the We Ask America poll of the state published today shows him taking a one-point lead over both Santorum and Gingrich. The 30-29-29 result is a virtual three-way tie, so no one should assume a Romney victory, but the perception of a rising Romney tide may help him there. If Romney can win in a southern state like Tennessee, the argument will underline the fact he is the only one of the GOP contenders who is truly running a national campaign.
Though Gingrich will pretend a win in Georgia gives him a chance to become a regional candidate and win other southern states, a Santorum shutout will be the beginning of the end for the Pennsylvanian and make it harder for him to raise the money to run a viable campaign elsewhere.

You can all be proud of me
posted at 8/24/2010 4:12 PM EDTWe had our wedding shower on Sunday, and it was a huge success. My MOH, BM, and Mom did an amazing job... I can't wait to see the pics everyone took!The proud moment for you all is that I'm 2/3 done with our thank you notes! LOL! We wrote out 10 on Sunday and 10 last night, and I dropped them in the mail today. We're writing out the last 10 tonight and mailing them tomorrow.I do plan on writing a more thoughtful card to the three VIPs mentioned above, but I'm so glad I got the bulk of them done right away!On the other side of things, we got a TOTAL regift and my FI is so pissed. LOL. His co-worker (who he is friends with outside of work) bagged out on attending the shower claiming she had to work her p/t job... However, she posted on FB that she was lounging in her hot tub with a bottle of wine at noon. Shower ran from 11:30pm till about 3pm. Duh! So we open the gift we got from her and FI's other co-worker (who did attend) and one piece of it was an "as seen on TV" turbo cooker. I look at my FI and he just shrugs - we've never heard of it, and we always make fun of infomercials. We just said thank you and moved on.We're putting stuff away last night and he picks up this turbo cooker and says, "Hey, they left the tag on this one. Where is Ames?" I nearly spit out my water. I'm like, "Uh, Ames went out of business YEARS ago!"So we open the box - complete with instructional VHS tape - and it reeks of mildew, like it's been stored in someone's attic or basement for years. The different pieces inside the box were still in their original packaging, but they just smelled.We'll be very surprised if she actually shows up at the wedding (even though she already RSVP'd that she was coming!).

Free State Project Meets F1K Goals!
The Free State Project's First 1,000 Pledge has met and exceeded its goal! As of right now, 1,027 Porcupines have pledged to move to the "Free State" of New Hampshire, USA, by 12/31/2008, exactly two years from today, in fact! A couple of us at the Libertarian Action Network will be there, and others will follow in the following months and years (mostly old people who don't want to give up their cushy lifestyles). If you've yet to sign on as a First 1000 Pledger, or as a regular "5 years after 20,000" member, please do! Its counterculture- but with fewer hippies and no socialism! ;)

San Francisco– January 21, 2012 - Blackbird, maker of carbon fiber acoustics with patented hollow neck uni-body, is introducing enhancements and a new model. The entire high performance line gains in durability, tone and versatility, exemplified by the new Rider Nylon.
New Rider Nylon, 2012 Model
Blackbird is proud to unveil the new Rider nylon, the singular performance-level travel guitar is further refined. Now available for the first time with on-board preamp and controls and new individual precision tuning machines. The new Rider nylon is offered at an introductory $2035 with electronics and a soft case.
In 2011, Research and Development focused on developing refinements and implementing them in production. Blackbird moved to the San Francisco Mission district one year ago, in order to expand production of its carbon fiber instruments. "The move to a large high-tech workshop with the latest CNC equipment, has greatly benefited the entire operation down to each guitar- along with helping us keep up with demand", says founder Joe Luttwak.
New Enhancements
Blackbird Lucky 13
The vintage-style, thirteen-fret neck junction guitar, launched at '11 NAMM, adds white accents for more old-school charm. But below the skin, the high-tech construction improves dramatically -- with MiSi electronics, TonePros-Kluson tuning machines, and ultra-light bracing -- making this travel-friendly instrument even more tonally rich. It's a jack-of-all trades, and master of fingerstyle. It is the perfect singer-songwriter gigging companion for home, road and stage.
Blackbird 'BTU'
The explosively responsive BTU, now standard with rechargeable MiSi electronics with volume and tone control at the off-set sound hole. The new model is marked by a switch to white accents to off-set the carbon fiber uni-body. "We are thrilled by the enthusiasm of the ukulele community, particularly professionals, who love the powerful sound of the BTU and stability of carbon fiber construction,"
Rider Steel-string
The travel guitar widely considered the best on the market, is now even more steely -- with durable stainless steel frets coming standard. This guitar remains the top choice for high performance on the road with unparallelled ration of compact size to acoustic presence.
Super OM
Blackbird's comfortable orchestra model configuration is medium sized but a sonic cannon, upgraded with standard stainless frets and Mi-Si electronics optional. The Super OM is the choice for tonal clarity, sustain, and dynamic response -- and the premier carbon fiber fingerstyle guitar.
Design benefits
About Blackbird
Blackbird's proprietary hollow-neck, one-piece carbon fiber construction blends the powerful voice of an light-built boutique guitar with the ruggedness of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber is not only dramatically stronger than wood and humidity-proof, but also highly acoustically responsive -- particularly as designed by Blackbird . Founded in 2005 with a mission to build high performance instruments, Blackbird started with Rider, now the satisfying and nearly indestructible benchmark for travel guitars. Blackbird's singular blend of Formula 1/aerospace technologies with traditional luthierie gives form to a new highly resilient and responsive instrument each year. Blackbird Guitars are made by small team in San Francisco. Advanced technology alongside the traditional craft of a master luthier means every build is imbued with quality, precision and soul.

Tolja so:
Comic Book Resources has the news that Erik Larsen is stepping down as Image publisher, and longtime Executive director Eric Stephenson is replacing him. Why the Erik for Eric switch? Larsen wanted to spend more time doing what he loves most: making his own comics:
I loved the job and it was great fun doing it; we put together some awesome books and there are a ton of cool things in the pipeline that will, frankly, blow your mind. Now that things are on the upswing at Image, I don't think I'm as needed in that position as I was at one point. There are a number of people who are looking out for Image Comics. I'll still be one of them and I'll still be out there actively talking to people about books and recruiting talent. And I share an office with Eric Stephenson, who'll be taking over for me, so it's not as though this is going to be some drawn out, awkward learning period for him as he takes over. He was Jim Valentino's right-hand man when he was in the Publisher's chair and was my right-hand man when I was in the Publisher's chair, so he's certainly up on the company and how it works. And he's been in and around Image Comics since its inception, going back to working with Rob Liefeld when he had his studio. Eric's been around, knows the rope, knows what we're doing and is a hell of a guy. I really think he's the best guy for the job and I think it would be great if the guys who founded this company spent less time sitting in a chair pushing papers around and more time sitting in a chair pushing art boards around.
Stephenson replaces Larsen as Image Publisher
Tolja so:
This is a win-win for Image.
Congrats to Eric and I look forward to more Erik on the stands.
both Eric's are great guys, so its all in good hands.
jimmy p
It really is great what Larsen has done for Image. I hope he has a great time, doing what he loves.
Sounds like a smooth transition. I look forward to Erik drawing more. He still did a lot of work even while being the publisher. He colored those jack kirby reprint books and still managed to write, pencil and color Savage Dragon issues. Also he contributed to Popgun anthology.
If this gets Mr. Larsen pushing more art boards around then I think this is a win-win situation for everyone at Image and the readers. Congrats to Mr. Stephenson. It sounds like this is the perfect job for him to move into with his credentials. I look forward to the future of Image.
Larsen did a great job transitioning Image into what is basically an indy (in the aesthetic sense anyway) comics company. Now it will be exciting to see how Stephenson makes the turn into its next phase- he seems like the right guy for the job. Plus, any time an original Image founder can make more books is a good thing for them I think.
I hear a lot of people say they want more SAVAGE DRAGON now, please, so this news should delight them.
For my part, I've really enjoyed the diverse collection of titles that Erik Larsen's Image publishes — zombies, super-heroes, romantic comedy, war, historic adventures, etc., etc. My only request of the new regime is that it continue in that unpredictable direction.
[…] Stephenson's in, Larsen's out at Image. Whither the Savage Dragon? […]

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
FLEXERIL®(CYCLOBENZAPRINE HCl) Tablets
Cyclobenzaprine HCl relieves skeletal muscle spasm of local origin without interfering with muscle function.
FLEXERIL is indicated as an adjunct to rest and physical therapy for relief of muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions.
Improvement is manifested by relief of muscle spasm and its associated signs and symptoms, namely, pain, tenderness, limitation of motion, and restriction in activities of daily living.
FLEXERIL should be used only for short periods (up to two or three weeks) because adequate evidence of effectiveness for more prolonged use is not available and because muscle spasm associated with acute, painful musculoskeletal conditions is generally of short duration and specific therapy for longer periods is seldom warranted.
FLEXERIL has not been found effective in the treatment of spasticity associated with cerebral or spinal cord disease, or in children with cerebral palsy.
Muscle Spasms Source: MedicineNet Dystonia Specialty [2015.01.28]Title: Muscle SpasmsCategory: Diseases and ConditionsCreated: 6/16/2009 12:00:00 AMLast Editorial Review: 1/28/2015 12:00:00 AM
Evaluation of the muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine after third-molar extraction. [2011.10]BACKGROUND: Pain, swelling and trismus are undesirable effects of extraction of impacted mandibular third molars. The authors conducted a study to evaluate the effectiveness of the muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine when used as a supplement to cryotherapeutic, antibiotic and steroidal anti-inflammatory treatment with the aim of reducing undesirable consequences after third-molar extraction... CONCLUSIONS: The results of this trial indicate that the influence of cyclobenzaprine over pain, swelling and trismus does not justify prescribing additional medication for patients undergoing third-molar extraction. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The muscle relaxant cyclobenzaprine was ineffective in reducing pain, swelling and trismus after third-molar extraction.
Steady-state pharmacokinetics of once-daily cyclobenzaprine extended release: a randomized, double-blind, 2-period crossover study in healthy volunteers. [2011.06]BACKGROUND: The single-dose pharmacokinetic profile of cyclobenzaprine extended-release (CER) has been previously characterized and compared with the pharmacokinetics of cyclobenzaprine immediate-release (CIR) administered 3 times daily for 3 doses. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to characterize the multiple-dose pharmacokinetic properties of once-daily CER 30 mg and CIR 10 mg TID formulations in healthy volunteers... CONCLUSIONS: Once-daily CER 30 mg delivered sustained plasma cyclobenzaprine levels over 24 hours at steady state. Owing to a protocol violation, steady-state pharmacokinetic properties for CIR could not be assessed. Copyright (c) 2011 Elsevier HS Journals, Inc. All rights reserved.

Efficacy and tolerability of cyclobenzaprine extended release for acute muscle spasm: a pooled analysis. [2010.07]OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of once-daily cyclobenzaprine extended release (CER) 15 and 30 mg in relieving acute muscle spasm... CONCLUSION: Once-daily CER was effective in relieving acute muscle spasm based on patient's rating of medication helpfulness at day 4 and was generally well tolerated with a low rate of reported somnolence.
Efficacy and Safety of Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride Extended Release for the Treatment of Chronic Migraine [Recruiting]
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of
cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride extended release (Amrix 15mg/day) for the prophylaxis of
chronic migraine compared to a placebo medication. A second objective, is to find out
whether there is an improvement in quality of sleep and self-reported depression in patients
taking Amrix 15mg daily. The hypothesis is that the number of migraine days per month of
patients treated with Amrix 15mg daily will be significantly lower than those patients
treated with placebo.
An Effectiveness and Safety Study of Cyclobenzaprine HCl Alone or in Combination With Ibuprofen for Acute Back or Neck Muscle Pain With Muscle Spasm [Completed]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of cyclobenzaprine HCl
5 mg (muscle spasm medication) taken three times a day, alone or in combination with
ibuprofen 400 mg or 800 mg (pain relief medication) taken three times a day, for the
treatment of back or neck muscle pain with muscle spasm.
Myofascial Pain:Acupuncture Versus Trigger Point Injection Combined With Dipyrone and Cyclobenzaprine [Completed]
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Myofascial syndrome is the most frequent condition of chronic pain.
The objective of the present study was to compare the analgesic action of acupuncture and
trigger point injection combined with cyclobenzaprine and dipyrone.
DESIGN AND SETTING: A randomized study was performed at the Pain Clinic. METHODS: Thirty
patients were divided into two groups: G1 received trigger point injection of 0. 25%
bupivacaine (1 ml/point) twice a week, 10 mg/day cyclobenzaprine and 500 mg dipyrone every 8
h. G2 was submitted to classical and trigger point acupuncture twice a week. The patients
were asked to continue physical exercise. The following parameters were evaluated: pain
intensity rated on a numerical and verbal scale, quality of life before and four weeks after
treatment, and quality of analgesia.
Cyclobenzaprine Extended Release (ER) for Fibromyalgia [Recruiting]
Amrix (Cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride Extended release capsules) is approved by the FDA as a
muscle relaxant, indicated for the treatment of muscle spasm associated with acute, painful
musculoskeletal conditions. Cyclobenzaprine ER (Amrix TM) has a distinct pharmacokinetic
profile providing early systemic exposure and consistent plasma concentration over several
hours. Overall, a single dose of Amrix 30 mg is similar to that of cyclobenzaprine immediate
release 10 mg three times daily. This ER formula should improve compliance, with similar
efficacy and possibly less side effects as is often the case with slower release
There are clinical studies showing that cyclobenzaprine can alleviate pain secondary to
Fibromyalgia induced muscle tone. This multi-layered evidence base suggests that
cyclobenzaprine may be able to alleviate pain in fibromyalgia. Theoretically in
fibromyalgia, pain is interpreted centrally and possibly occurs due to said muscle spasm .
Cyclobenzaprine may relieve this pain, thus allowing patients to function better during the
day and sleep better at night. Cyclobenzaprine has tricyclic antidepressant structure which
may also allow pain signal dampening in the spinal cord as well, similar to amitriptyline
which is used off-label for neuropathic pain as well.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is an illness that may involve medical, rheumatologic, autoimmune, sleep,
endocrine and psychiatric pathology. It is a syndrome of recurrent pain at trigger points.
Greater than 90% of these patients will report fatigue as a key symptom as well. There are
several investigation lines into the treatment of FM induced pain. Exercise, behavioral
therapy, amitryptiline, duloxetine, tramadol, sodium oxybate, pregabalin all have randomized
trials and almost all focus on pain. There are very few studies evaluating cyclobenzaprine
and none studying to Cyclobenzaprine ER formulation. None evaluate pain reduction, sleep
and fatigue improvement.
Cyclobenzaprine is a drug with minimal adverse effects (dry mouth, dizziness, fatigue,
constipation, somnolence, nausea, and dyspepsia). It may have a safer tolerability profile
than some of the FM medications noted above. As cyclobenzaprine is often studied and often
added as an augmentation agent to patients' regimens who suffer from acute painful
musculoskeletal conditions, the authors feel that cyclobenzaprine would also be effective in
this population. The authors wish to conduct a study to determine if cyclobenzaprine ER is
safe and tolerable in the treatment of FM induced pain, and secondary fatigue and insomnia.
This initial study may allow for continued regulatory studies with this product in FM
subjects. The authors propose a double-blind placebo controlled study to determine if
cyclobenzaprine ER is safe and effective in reversing FM induced pain, and secondary fatigue
and insomnia.
Use of Cyclobenzaprine After Vaginal Surgery [Recruiting]
The management of post-operative pain in patients after vaginal surgery provides many
unforeseen challenges. Although vaginal surgery is considered a minimally invasive approach
for the repair of pelvic floor prolapse and urinary incontinence, patients may still
experience varying degrees of discomfort and post-operative pain. Narcotics, however, can
introduce a host of problems in addition to the potential addictive properties of the
medication. A vicious cycle ensues as patients seek better pain control at the expense of
worsening constipation, but without adequate control of pain after surgery, voiding
dysfunctions are often exaggerated.
Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril®) in conjunction with NSAIDs has long been the basis for
management of acute musculoskeletal injuries, but the practice of prescribing this centrally
acting muscle relaxant for post-operative patients has also been successful in the
management of pain.
An online search of medical databases revealed that there are currently no published
retrospective or prospective studies determining the efficacy of cyclobenzaprine in post
surgical patients in conjunction with traditional pain management. The investigators
hypothesize among healthy patients undergoing elective vaginal surgery for pelvic organ
prolapse, the short-term use of a muscle relaxant could reduce the spasticity of the pelvic
floor muscle attributable to surgery and thereby reduce the use of narcotics. Consequently,
the reduction of narcotics and the control of post-surgical pain may also hasten the return
of normal urinary and defecatory function.

Session J1: Invited Session: Supersonic Turbulence and Star Formation

Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off
Paolo Padoan
(UC San Diego)
Ever since Jeans (1902) astronomers have built their theories of star formation around gravitational instability. For the typical conditions in star forming clouds, the Jeans mass is about 0.3 times the mass of the Sun. While the most numerous stars are indeed of this mass, their mass distribution spans a large range from 0.08 to 100 solar masses. The precise distribution, called the initial mass function (IMF), is found to be universal. The origin of the IMF is a fundamental problem in astronomy and not one that gravitational instability theory can readily explain. Within the past decade, a new theory of star formation has been developed which posits a direct connection between the turbulence statistical properties of the star-forming clouds and the stellar IMF. It is postulated that supersonic MHD turbulence provides an appropriate framework for analytic and numerical modeling these clouds. I present results of large-scale 3D numerical simulations that investigate the properties of supersonic hydrodynamic (HD) and MHD turbulence. Our HD simulations are large enough to isolate the inertial range in density and velocity statistics. We find strong departure from incompressible Kolmogorov velocity scaling. We propose a natural extension of Kolmogorov's phenomenology that takes into account compressibility by mixing density and velocity statistics. We show that the density-weighted velocity statistic v=d**(1/3)u obeys Kolmogorov scaling and is Mach number independent. We discuss how magnetic fields modify these results. Finally, we discuss the origin of the stellar IMF in light of our new results.

(AP) NEW YORK - TITLE: "Collapse."
LENGTH: 30 Seconds
AIRING: Ohio
KEY IMAGES: The ad opens with a still photo of a shuttered factory and pans to a headline from a New York Times column Mitt Romney wrote in 2008, headlined, "Let Detroit go Bankrupt."
A male narrator says, "when the auto industry faced collapse, Mitt Romney turned his back." The narrator notes that The Detroit News (which has endorsed Romney's presidential bid) criticized the Republican hopeful's "wrongheadedness" on the federal auto bailout.
"And now, after Romney's false claim of Jeep outsourcing to China, Chrysler itself has refuted Romney's lie," the narrator says, over a headline from the Detroit Free Press saying Romney had incorrectly stated Jeep was moving production to China.
"The truth? Jeep is adding jobs in Ohio," the narrator says, over a headline from the Toledo Blade newspaper in Ohio saying "Jeep expansion to add 1,100 jobs." The ad concludes, "Mitt Romney on Ohio jobs: Wrong then. Dishonest now."
ANALYSIS: The Obama campaign released this ad in response to a Romney campaign spot airing in Ohio that suggests Romney would do more for the auto industry than Obama has. Polls show Obama with a narrow but steady edge in Ohio, a state Romney badly needs if he is to put together the 270 electoral votes necessary for victory on Election Day, Nov. 6.
Obama's lead in Ohio is due in large measure to the success of the federal bailout of GM and Chrysler, which helped preserve thousands of auto industry jobs there and elsewhere. That's why his campaign is acutely sensitive to efforts by the Romney campaign to undermine the positive effects of the bailout, which Romney opposed.
It's true that Romney wrote an opinion column in The New York Times opposing the auto rescue. He has said he didn't choose the headline, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," but has never veered from his assertion that providing failing auto companies with billions in federal aid would prevent them from taking the steps necessary to rein in costs and be more competitive.
In Ohio last week, Romney told a campaign audience that Chrysler planned to ship its U.S.-based Jeep manufacturing division to China. A Chrysler spokesman denied that claim, saying Jeep had no plans to move jobs from the U.S. to China even though the company is looking to build additional plants there to meet demand.
The new Romney ad is more carefully worded, saying only that the company planned to "build jeeps in China," which is true. But the Obama ad tries to put to rest any suggestion in the latest Romney ad that Ohio jobs at Jeep are threatened, posting the headline of a local newspaper story saying Jeep planned to build a new plant and add jobs in Ohio next year.

BURTON, Ohio -- Crews from multiple fire departments have been called to a structure fire on Park Way.
The fire started just after 8:30 p.m. It's not clear whether the home was occupied or not.
Due to the location of the structure, fire crews are having a hard time getting water and equipment close enough to battle the blaze.
Fire crews from as far away as Streetsboro have been called to help.
Some of the other departments that responded are Burton, Newbury, Chardon, Middlefield, Troy Township, Aurora, Auburn and Chagrin Falls.
State Route 87 was closed in both directions between Burton Circle and State Route 44 while fire crews cleared the area. After about 20 minutes, highway patrol reopened the road.

BOSTON -- Each player on the Wildcats' top line tallied a goal and an assist to lead the eighth-ranked University of New Hampshire men's hockey team past the Boston University Terriers (4-1) in the Hockey East opener. Friday's win at Agganis Arena marked Head Coach Dick Umile's 400th of his career, ranking him third amongst active NCAA coaches with a .653 win percentage.
Junior defenseman Jamie Fritsch (Odenton, Md.) scored his first of the season--the eventual game-winner--at 13:44 of the third period. Thomas Fortney (Webster Grove, Mo.) delivered the puck from the left point to the right where Fritsch took a slap shot, finding the back of the net.
Junior defensemen Matt Gilroy drew first blood for the Terriers 12:26 into the first period off a slap shot from inside the right circle. BU had a 5 on 3 advantage over UNH after back-to-back tripping calls were made. Assists were given to Brandon Yip and Colin Wilson on the tally.
Captain Matt Fornataro (Calgary, Alb.) scored his first goal of the season to put the Wildcats on the board with 44.7 seconds left in the second period. Senior assistant Mike Radja (Yorkville, Ill.) brought the puck into the BU zone and passed it to Jerry Pollastrone (Revere, Mass.) in the slot. Pollastrone connected with Fornataro at the bottom of the left circle, shelving it past Gillespie.
Radja extended the Wildcats' lead to two goals (3-1) with a tally at 14;15 of the third period. Freshman James vanRiemsdyk (Middletown, N.J.) delivered the puck to Fornataro in the neutral zone who then passed it up to Radja. He then skated in on Terrier goalie Karson Gillespie alone and beat him stick side.
Minutes later, VanRiemsdyk secured the win for the Wildcats with an unassisted goal with 4:14 remaining in the game, the first of his collegiate career. UNH remains undefeated at Agganis Arena with a 3-0-2 all-time record.
Umile, a five-time Hockey East Coach of the Year, is in his 18th season as head coach of the Wildcats and ranks ninth all-time among NCAA coaches with his 400 wins. Coming into the 2007-08 season, he ranks third in wins amongst his Hockey East coaching peers.
Senior goaltender Kevin Regan (South Boston, Mass.) made 30 saves for the 'Cats, including 12 in the first period, while Gillespie totaled 23 stops in the losing cause for Boston University.
The Wildcats' home opener is Oct. 26 against Colorado College. Game time at the Whittemore Center is 7 p.m.

Teen Mom
Jenelle Evans: Courtland's Drug Addiction Prevented Him From Being a Pro Baseball Player!
Our love for Courtland Rogers knows no bounds, and our hearts are weeping now that his tragic sob story has been revealed. You see, back in ye olden days Courtland was a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed baseball player who dreamed of playing in the big leagues — until he got into a terrible car accident and developed a sinister drug addiction.
Courtland's wife, Teen Mom 2's Jenelle Evans, usually stays hush-hush about her man's alleged drug use, but she's finally coming clean!
"Another car hydroplaned and hit them and made the car lose control and the car wrapped around a pole," she explains on Sulia. "This picture was taken after getting the car unwrapped from the pole. His injuries were his hip getting completely dislocated 6 inches and blew out his femur. He had to do a total hip replacement surgery and put a plate in his pelvis also had to get a rod in his femur."
Poor Courtland was in critical condition for 32 days, and lost his baseball scholarship. Jenelle goes on to explain that he "was introduced to pain medication for the injuries and thats how his drug addiction started. He would of been a professional by now if the car wreck never happened."
Nowadays Courtland is trying his hardest to stay sober so he can regain partial custody of his daughter, JaJa. We're so happy he's putting the past in the past — though the epic scar under his confederate flag tattoo will always be a reminder of rough times.

Efforts by Malaysia's Genting to expand its casino footprint in the U.S. suffered a couple of setbacks in New York in the past week. First, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he was backing away from a plan to build a convention center in Queens next to a Genting resort that would expand on its big new "racino" at Aqueduct raceway. Then came a report in today's New York Times that Genting and a larger lobby, the New York Gaming Association, have poured $2.4 million into what's effectively a political slush fund for Cuomo's interests.
The fund, called the Committee to Save New York, is a business-financed pressure group that has lined up behind Cuomo's initiatives as governor since his 2010 election. The implication of the Times story was that the gambling money helped to shape those initiatives, which would tend to taint all involved. A Cuomo spokesman told the paper that this suggestion would "distort the facts in a false and reckless manner."
The politics of gambling often are fraught in the U.S. Not only is there opposition based on moral or prudential grounds–betting losses are borne most heavily by persons of lower income–but existing franchises can be threatened by new venues. In New York, native people's tribes hold the rights to full casino gambling, of the sort the Genting and Cuomo wanted to make the Queens deal work. A change from mere racino status, with only horse betting and video slots, requires voter approval, and the largely rural tribes hold considerable sway.
Placing New York City's main convention hall in outlying Queens, near JFK Airport, also was controversial. Cuomo says he hasn't given up on some sort of major development there, perhaps still involving Genting. For the company, whose founding clan is led by billionairess Lee Kim Hua, this setback in New York comes on top of ongoing frustrations in getting a casino going in Miami, Florida. Better for now to take a pause and place a wager on the Triple Crown racing action Saturday at Belmont Park, a few miles from the Aqueduct site.

BAGHDAD, Aug. 11, 2006 Bettering the lives of Iraqi youngsters is what Peter Debski says is the best part of his job.
He's been involved in overseeing millions of dollars of reconstruction work in and around Baghdad over the past 10 months, including new water and sewer networks, electrical distribution projects, police and fire stations, and primary health care centers. But, he said, "renovating two youth centers and four schools was, most definitely, the most personally rewarding."
"Seeing the joy on the children's faces, knowing we're bringing a little normalcy to their lives, made it all worthwhile," he added.
Debski is a project engineer with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Gulf Region Central District. He said he'll always remember the March 25 celebration to mark the re-opening of Al Huriya Youth Center.
"The United States stands with Iraqis as they attempt to improve their community. The various sporting activities that Iraqi children will engage in here offer several useful and timely lessons," he said. "This center will provide activities for youth of all sects and ethnic groups and teach them the benefit of teamwork. The sports that will be played here encourage children to compete but within an established system of rules. Finally, sports will allow us to succeed or fail, not based on who we are or where we come from, but rather on our merits as individuals."
That $442,000 project, financed by the 10th Mountain Division's Commander's Emergency Response Program, included upgrading plumbing and electrical systems, installing air conditioners, repairing and replacing floors, and plastering and painting both interior and exterior walls. In addition, a new basketball and volleyball court was built.
About 1,500 young people are involved in various sporting activities, including wrestling, boxing, soccer, weightlifting, basketball, volleyball and judo, at the center on a daily basis. "The youth center project was selected because the community itself identified it as a top priority. They know how important it is to their community," Debski said. "It's a legacy we're leaving behind as Al Huriya families will use that youth center for years to come."
Debski said he's grateful to be part of the Corps of Engineers' mission in Iraq and for the opportunity to work alongside some incredible Iraqis. "I'm in awe of the courage our Iraqi project engineers demonstrate every day reporting to work and getting the job done," he said. "They're professional, highly educated, care about their work, and know they're making a difference. I admire each and every one of them."
Debski is leaving Iraq this month and will be heading to Jordan to work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers there. He and his wife, Teresa, have two children, Julia and Matt.
"This has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a great experience," Debski said. "I've worked for contractors on construction projects in Antarctica, Pacific islands and Europe, but nothing compares to what we're doing here."

Professor Gerrit van Dijk, Emeritus at the University of Leiden has, with De Gruyter's assistance, produced an elegant slim volume on Distribution Theory (the text proper fits within a hundred pages), based on lectures given by the author to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students at Utretcht and Leiden. The paper, quality of printing and binding are of a good standard (much unlike a few recent publications by Springer-Verlag that the reviewer has perused) and the book sells for just over $30 on Amazon.
Each chapter begins with a short "Summary," lists between one and three "Learning Targets," and ends with a guide to "Further Reading." Five of the nine main chapters include a small selection of exercises. The inclusion of learning targets is unusual in a textbook written at this level.
Many proofs are sketched and the reader is often referred to Schwartz's Théorie des distributions (which in spite of its fame seems to lack an English translation) for more technical results. This style makes for pleasurable reading, especially for the mathematically mature reader. In fact, Van Dijk's lectures may be used as a prelude or an opening act to a serious reading of (or course based on) Schwartz's famous text.
However, the advanced undergraduate may not appreciate "For terminology and notations we generally follow Bourbaki." As for
The main prerequisites for the book are elementary real, complex and functional analysis and Lebesgue integration. In the later chapters we assume familiarity with some advanced measure theory and functional analysis, in particular with the Banach-Steinhaus theorem.
most advanced undergraduates or beginning graduate students with such background (perhaps appearing with less frequency in the US than in Europe) may be inclined to tackle a more in-depth presentation than van Dijk's. That said, the appendix summarizing this material is adequate and the text may serve such a student with a useful "Lonely Planet/Rough Guide" to distribution theory.
The lectures are elegantly written and guide the reader through a rapid tour of distribution theory, perhaps not unlike a quick mediterranean cruise through a carefully chosen succession of ports. It would probably take the advanced undergraduate in possession of the prerequisites about seven days (over a suitable break with less distractions than during term) to read the entire text in detail.
A few minor quibbles. The author comments in the preface:
There is relatively little expository literature on distribution theory compared to other topics in mathematics, but there is a standard reference [L. Schwartz, Théorie des distributions], and also [Gel'fand and Shilov, Generalized functions, Vol. 1]. I have mainly drawn on…
There are actually at least two introductions that the reviewer was familiar with (and probably many more beyond):
Both Strichartz's and Duistermaat-Kolk's books are aimed at a similar audience to van Dijk's (though Duistermaat-Kolk is far more elementary in that it does not require the Lebesgue theory), but they are substantially longer and much better motivated than van Dijk's lectures. (Wikipedia tells us that Duistermaat, apart from being born in Utrecht, returned and remained there from 1974 to his death in 2010. Little surprise that van Dijk was not aware of Duistermaat-Kolk's text!) Before seeing van Dijk's book if I were to recommend a text for an independent study, I would choose either Strichartz or Duistermaat-Kolk depending on the student's inclinations. Now, van Dijk's text gives me a reasonable outline for an (\(2 \leq n \leq 5\))-week ending to a Topics in Analysis course.
We end this review with another quote, this one from the final chapter, on Summable Distributions, which ends with the following Further Reading:
An application of this chapter is a mathematically correct definition of the Feynman path integral, see [E. G. F. Thomas, Path distributions on sequence spaces, preprint, 2000.].
The reviewer felt the urge to investigate further, and will refer the reader to Tony Dorlas' piece in the following memorial to Thomas: "A good definition is half the work", NAW 5/13, nr. 4, December 2012.
Tushar Das is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse.

President Obama Announces Douglas M. Brooks, MSW, as Director of the Office of National AIDS Policy
Today, President Obama announced the appointment of Douglas M. Brooks, MSW, as the Director of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP). A leading HIV/AIDS policy expert, Douglas most recently served as Senior Vice President for Community, Health, and Public Policy at the Justice Resource Institute (JRI). As the Director of ONAP, he will lead the Administration's work to reduce new HIV infections, improve health outcomes for people living with HIV, and eliminate HIV health disparities in the United States.
"Douglas's policy expertise combined with his extensive experience working in the community makes him uniquely suited to the task of helping to achieve the goal of an AIDS-free generation, which is within our reach," President Obama said. "I look forward to having him lead our efforts from the White House."
A component of the White House Domestic Policy Council, ONAP coordinates the ongoing implementation of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and the HIV Care Continuum initiative, while working together with public and private partners to advance the federal response to HIV/AIDS. ONAP also works with the White House National Security Council, the State Department's Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator, and international bodies to ensure that America's response to the global pandemic is fully integrated with prevention, care, and treatment efforts around the world. Through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) initiative, the U.S. has made enormous progress in responding to the global HIV/AIDS pandemic, working with countries heavily impacted by HIV/AIDS to help expand access to treatment, care, and prevention.
Brooks, a person living with HIV, was most recently the Senior Vice President for Community, Health, and Public Policy at JRI, a health and human service agency based in Boston. He served as executive director of the Sidney Borum Jr. Community Health Center at JRI, has managed programs in urban and rural environments and has served as a consultant to domestic and international governments and non-governmental organizations assisting their efforts to serve populations living with and at greatest risk for HIV/AIDS. Brooks was a Visiting Fellow at the McCormack School Center for Social Policy at the University of Massachusetts, Boston and was Chair of the Board of Trustees of AIDS United in Washington, DC.
In 2010, Brooks was appointed to the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (PACHA) and served as its liaison to the CDC/HRSA Advisory Committee and successfully led those bodies to achieve the tasks assigned to them in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy. He has directly managed federally funded programs, meeting or exceeding targets for Ryan White projects, CDC Prevention for African American/Black youth, a HRSA Special Project of National Significance (SPNS), and a HOPWA SPNS. Brooks received a Master of Social Work degree from Boston University and is a licensed clinical social worker.

Oxnard's The Grim will storm into Zoey's on Saturday night
Singer/songwriter-friendly Zoey's in Ventura will expand its horizons and decibel levels by hosting an old-school punk show Saturday night with Youth Brigade and The Grim — both of whom will do approximately zero soulful ballads. The boys in Youth Brigade, featuring those Stern brothers (Mark, Adam and Shawn), have been playing loud and fast since 1980. They even started their own label, BYO, and these days remain closer to youth than the Beach Boys do to boyhood.
This small brigade has played tons of shows over the years with The Grim, still fronted by Timmy McDuffee, whom many might remember as the manager for Bad Religion. Despite being from the Valley, The Grim became identified with the local Nardcore scene, playing countless gigs with the usual local and loud suspects such as Ill Repute, Agression, Stalag 13 and Dr. Know.
The Grim boys in the band include singer McDuffee (who now lives in Oxnard), guitarists Bob Oedy and Jeff Yearsley, bassist Brian Priess and drummer Garrett Dyer. McDuffee and Oedy are original members and Oedy wrote the tunes.
Apart from the annual Warped Tour, if any proof of punk's longevity is necessary, consider the 30-year Goldenvoice anniversary show coming to Santa Monica in December. Goldenvoice was the promoter for those legendary punk shows at the Goleta Valley Community Center back in the early '80s, a few of which this writer survived, covering the musical mayhem.
Former Calabasas High School Coyote McDuffee, him that is Grim, had stories to tell during a recent phoner.
How's The Grim biz?
Everything's great, actually. We've been playing for the last two years now. I just got booked on a huge show today along with Ill Repute at the Santa Monica Civic — the 30-year Goldenvoice anniversary show in December.
Wow, a cultural landslide. How long has there been The Grim?
The Grim's been going since 1983. We started in Woodland Hills, and played up until the '90s. Then I quit and started touring with NOFX and Bad Religion.
What's the deal on your career with those famous rock stars?
I toured with NOFX and Bad Religion off and on. I started as a drum tech and worked my way up to tour manager for Bad Religion in 2005, and I've been working in the movie business and promoting concerts since then. I put Jackass on tour with the Reverend Horton Heat, and these days, I'm booking the Malibu Inn.
Cool. So what did you learn being on the other side of the stage?
I forgot that I was in a band. It's a whole different ballgame. I forgot that I had this band, The Grim, and then a few years ago, someone reminded me of that fact and it was like, "Wow — I should do this again." But touring with NOFX and Bad Religion was the time of my life.
What happened to the other Grimmies while you were in management — break time?
Bob, our guitar player, started another band. Our drummer is in Strung Out now. We just started playing again together about two years ago and we've been having a blast. We've been getting booked all over. We played Punk Rock Bowling with the Dropkick Murphys.
How often does The Grim (play) live these days?
We're out about once or twice a month, or more.
Since you guys were from the Valley, how are you connected to the Oxnard Nardcore scene?
In 1984 we hooked up with Doug Moody and Mystic Records.
That guy's still around?
Yeah, he just put out the "Best of The Grim." It came out in April.
Is everybody still mad at that guy? I heard all sorts of stories.
Not so much — he's 86 years old now. The Grim always had a good relationship with him. We were all little kids back then. He's still doing the same thing, giving us CDs to sell at our shows. There's two Grim albums; the first one, called "The Grim," was on vinyl. It's on CD now, on "Best of The Grim," with all the 7-inchers and compilations.
So how's the new one doing? Are you guys rich punk rock stars?
Not rich rock stars, but having a blast. We've been playing a lot with Ill Repute, the Adolescents and TSOL.
All right, but what about Nardcore?
We were all on the same label, so we always played shows together — and we're still doing it. We're still buddies, you know? I live in Oxnard and I've been living up here since 1991.
Why is Nardcore still alive? Why does it still matter?
I think people still like the music. I'm 44, and if you were to tell me we'd be playing the Santa Monica Civic with Bad Religion and TSOL in 2011, I'd be saying, "No way." This year, we played with the Sub Humans. All these old bands are still going and we've got nothing but a great reception. But the thing with the Nardcore scene is that we all became really good friends and we all help each other out and I think that's really what it's about. Even the Raging Arb & the Redheads stuff — Tobey (Emery) and JD (John Drury) — I'm always there for those guys.
Is the mosh pit kinder and gentler or still the same? What happened to all the old elbow-friendly skinheads?
That's funny you should ask. We just had this show — Vegas, maybe — and all these skinheads were supposed to show up but they never did. I've never seen any of that crazy racist crap, but I remember coming up here in Oxnard in '83 and '84 to play with Youth Brigade and they were violent shows. The new resurgence of young kids just loves Ill Repute and they love the Adolescents.
What was the craziest show you ever played?
The craziest show we ever played would have to be NOFX, Bad Religion and The Grim in Tijuana in this place called Iguana's. It was this three-story place and kids were jumping off the balconies, into the crowd. It was back in the day when you could see people doing huge stage dives.
That's what happened to the Goleta Valley Community Center punk shows back in the '80s. The promoter was some hippie dude — he and I were the only ones that weren't bald and p----- off.
That was Gary Tovar, dude, the Goldenvoice guy. He's back still doing the Goldenvoice stuff. He's the one that just booked us for the 30-year reunion show. When we were kids, Gary used to book us all the time. When I was 14, I went down to his house in Huntington Beach and gave him our demo.
And Goldenvoice is still run by guys Gary brought in during the '80s. One of them is Paul Tollett, who is a good friend of ours and invented Coachella. So Gary's bringing the punk rock stuff back.
What's the deal on this gig — you guys and Youth Brigade at Zoey's?
We've been playing a lot of shows with the Sterns — they're really good friends of mine.
How come you're The Grim and not The Happy?
We were still in high school.

7 Travel Packing Tips to Keep You Organized
by Natalie Conrad | No Comments
Since I moved over a year ago, I find myself traveling a lot more. My best friend always admires how I pack so little and said I should write a blog post about that. Good idea – so here goes!
My motto when traveling is definitely "less is more". I am a minimalist when I travel. I want to spend more time enjoying my trips; therefore, I make sure it takes less time to pack.
Natalie's 7 Travel Packing Tips
Choose one main color scheme for your wardrobe. Black or brown are usually my main color. It's easy to mix and match other patterns to go with these colors.
Pack clothes that are low maintenance. Synthetic fibers, polyester blends are usually great wrinkle-free garments.
Have travel pajamas, slippers and a travel blow dryer. Leave them in your suitcase all the time.
Keep a toiletry bag packed. Make a toiletry bag with smaller bottles of all the things you use for hygiene and have a second set of makeup in there. Store the toiletry bag in your suitcase. It's always ready to go that way! I LOVE the Cosmetic Roll Up with it's clear pocketed sections – mine is always ready to go.
Try to only pack one pair of shoes. I know this is hard for some of you but at least try to take less shoes than you normally carry. This is easier to do when you choose that one main color scheme for your tirp.
Learn how to pack. Pack by outfits. I lay out my pants (folded in half) and place my shirt on top with my socks and a scarf. Then I fold them all together. When it's time to change clothes, I just grab a "bundle" and everything is there. I love the Shelves on the Go* system and Packing Cubes* from Clever Container. It makes things easier to manage and it's very visual so you don't have to tear through the entire suitcase to find things.
Bring a laundry bag. As clothes get dirty, fold them (because of space constraints) and place them in a laundry bag and then pack that laundry bag in the suitcase. Makes doing the travel laundry a breeze when you get home!
* By the way, it's Tool Tuesday, so check out check out the Shelves on the Go, and Packing Cubes. You can order them now and have them in time for your holiday travels!
