- How to Read a Study Record
The extend of steroid biosynthesis and action is mainly dependent on underlying genetic polymorphisms and gene mutations. These sequence variations in multiple genes involved in steroid biosynthesis and action cause different diseases (for example congenital adrenal hyperplasia or disorders of sex development). In addition, sequence variations in several other genes may influence the severity of a genetically caused disease of steroid biosynthesis or action. By this, the differences in an observed phenotype may be explained. Within the study all genes necessary for adrenal and gonadal steroid biosynthesis and several genes which are known to influence the action of steroid hormones will be analysed in patients with congenital disorders of adrenal and gonadal steroid biosynthesis, disorders of steroid action and disorders of sex development. The primary aim is to set up a correlation of the disease phenotype with the different genotypes detected.

Application Gallery 14 - Golf Course Signs
E14401 - Carved Wood Golf Course Tee Signs
Our dimensional tee signs are made from wood or hardened HDU. These signs are mounted on aluminum or steel round or square posts , which are powder coated for long life and minimal maintenance. For wood or HDU, we make either raised or engraved letters, border and art. We can put the layout of each hole on the sign, as well as tee positions and yardages. We make the sign dimensional using by using a CNC router or by sandblasting, or both.We will put your club logo or other dimensional art, including carved bas-relief images of trees, golf equipment, golfers, etc on each sign if you wish . For both our wood and HDU signs, we put two coats of fiberglass epoxy resin to provide a hard shell overcoat, before painting them, which provides additional toughness and resistance to wear. Every sign has two coats of Mathews polyurethane paint on its background, plus two coats of trim, plus two coats of polyurethane clearcoat for additional UV protection and wear resistance. These signs are as tough and as durable as cast aluminum, and they look better at a fraction of aluminum's price. Also, they will not corrode or oxidize like aluminum does. We make a large variety of sign shapes, sizes, colors, font styles, and art - we can include your hole layouts and/or your club logo at no additional cost. We make both tee signs and yardage markers, as well as information and direction signs on the course.

FORT DRUM Jefferson County sheriffs deputies charged a man from post with second-degree criminal contempt after he allegedly violated a stay-away order of protection by stopping at the protected partys place of employment.
Deputies said Jason L. Mathis, 28, violated the order Saturday when he went to the post exchange and asked about the whereabouts of the protected woman.
The order was issued June 9 by LeRay Town Court, and is valid until the end of the year.
Charged at 4:50 p.m. Saturday on post by deputies and military police, Mr. Mathis was arraigned in Theresa Town Court and held at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building, Watertown, on $1,000 bail pending his appearance in LeRay Town Court.

Many people understand that a water table has something to do with ground water, but they may not understand fully what a water table entails or the purpose it serves.
The zone of saturation is the underground depth at which the ground is totally saturated with water. The upper surface of this zone is called the water table. It is also the level at which groundwater pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.
Much of the water present on Earth is trapped under the ground. Rain, river and stream runoff and snow melt contribute to the water that seeps down into the soil and eventually into deposits of water under the ground. When water deposits are large enough to be used as a water source, they are known as aquifers.
The water table can fluctuate depending on the season and weather conditions. When there is an excess of rain or runoff, the water table may rise considerably. During periods of drought, the water table may diminish.
It's also important to note that a water table is not a flat line of water. The table actually fluctuates depending on the landscape and human modification of subterranean topography. The water table may be shallow in some areas and deep in others. In some cases, people may live in areas with a "high water table." The water may be enough to saturate the ground and contribute to springs where water flows naturally from rock onto the surface of the land. Springs may seep from places where the water table intersects the land surface. Water may also flow out of the ground along fractures. Ahigh water table may contribute to leaks in basements and crawl spaces. That's because hydrostatic pressure, or the pressure of the groundwater pressing up against the home foundation, can cause the water to find weak points and other areas of entry. In these instances, a method of keeping the water from entering the home may need to be investigated.
Some people and industries tap the water table and aquifers for use. Underground water can provide irrigation for crops or be used to bring water to a home instead of relying on public water supplies. When a well is sunk to pump ground water, it must be put deep enough to reach the zone of saturation.

A collection of upscale splurges and thrifty thrills is always in line with the WhoWhatWear.com way to build a wardrobe. Of course, while creating the right high-low mix is obviously important, when I'm shopping for a new season, I also keep my eyes peeled for both current and future essentials. For example, while flipping through the racks at my favorite stores, I'm on the hunt for fresh updates of my go-to pieces (like a new version of my favorite t-shirt or a genius pair of jeans). Additionally, I like to look for emerging essentials, those of-the-moment accessories-such as a trendy headpiece or a directional jacket-that can really elevate everything I already own. I search high and low to curate a stylish spread, and here are a few of my recent finds!
1. H&M Leather Jacket ($179)
2. Proenza Schouler High Heel Lace Up Suede Booties with Hidden Platform ($795)
3. Eugenia Kim Skinny Black Patent Leather Cat Ear Headband ($154)
4. Miu Miu Silk Triangle Bra ($320)

Okay, so what's behind the battle over the Hagel nomination? With all the talk we have heard and all that has been written in recent years about uncompromising partisanship, the Republicans have fought to, in effect, make sure Democrat John Kerry would be the choice for secretary of state and now balk at the choice of a fellow Republican and former U.S. senator from Nebraska to head up the Department of Defense. In fact, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has called this ostensibly bipartisan choice by the president an "in your face" insult to the Grand Old Party. Are Republicans really that easily insulted?
One would think not. They got ignored by President Clinton when "Bubba" decided to wage war in the Balkans. They were similarly ignored by Obama when "The One" decided to intervene in Libya's civil war. That didn't seem to leave them indignant at the insults, despite the fact that the U.S. Constitution, assigns to Congress, not the president, the power to "declare war." Indeed, there are times when you might wonder if it is even possible to insult members of Congress, Republicans or Democrats.
But there may be either more or less to the Hagel controversy than meets the eye. On the surface, the fight is over Hagel's allegedly tepid support of Israel and his less than wholehearted support for sanctions against Iran over that country's alleged efforts to produce a nuclear weapon. Republicans, and sometimes the headliners in Israel, like to accuse Obama of being insufficiently pro-Israel and not tough enough on Iran. The GOP reinforces that argument, of course, by making the same charges against the president's choice for defense secretary.

DENVER (MarketWatch) — One of the many colorful anecdotes in the federal government's lawsuit against Standard & Poor's Ratings Services is a song that was both written and performed by an S&P employee identified as "Analyst D."
One minute, the artist known as Analyst D was rating residential mortgage-backed securities. The next, he was singing about how S&P's US:MHP allegedly bogus ratings of those securities would destroy the whole housing market. Read more juicy tidbits from the lawsuit against S&P.
The government's complaint, filed Monday in Los Angeles, said that in March 2007 Analyst D wrote his own words to the 1983 hit song "Burning Down the House," by the Talking Heads. Here are some of his words:
"Watch out/ Housing market went softer/ Cooling down/ Strong market is now much weaker/ Subprime is boi-ling o-ver/ Bringing down the house."
Analyst D emailed these lyrics to colleagues, the government's complaint said. Then he must have thought better of it and sent out a more cautionary missive. It read: "For obvious professional reasons, please do not forward this song. If you are interested, I can sing it in your cube ;-)."
Then a couple days later he reversed himself again. He sent yet another email, "attaching a video of him "singing and dancing" the first verse of the song in S&P offices, before an audience of laughing S&P co-workers," the government's complaint said.
Analyst D is a much better handle for a rapper than a rocker. I'm hoping he's out of the music business by now. He is, at least, no longer employed by S&P, said Catherine Mathis, a spokeswoman for the company.
The best RBS Libor quotes
Royal Bank of Scotland settled Libor charges for $610 million. David Benoit has a look at some of the more outrageous instant messages traders sent each other.
Somehow S&P did not nominate him for a Grammy. But prosecutors just might.
"The video is obviously in poor taste," Mathis said. "Many people suffered as a result of the housing crisis."
But Analyst D was not alone in his bad taste. As the government notes, he is videoed performing for a live audience of laughing co-workers.
"While the video may reflect a terrible sense of humor, it in no way reflects the hard work and analysts rating the securities," Mathis said. "It is obviously being used to inflame the public and distract from the actual facts behind these baseless claims."
S&P denies all of the allegations in the lawsuit. It accuses government prosecutors of "cherry-picking" from its email servers, but if you read the lawsuit you'll see prosecutors have picked some pretty ripe cherries.
One instant message from another analyst that said S&P would rate anything, no matter how ridiculous. A rating was a seal of approval that took otherwise confusing pieces of paper and turned them into valuable assets. "It could be structured by cows and we would rate it," the analyst's message said.
Too bad Analyst D didn't perform the song "Rawhide." He wouldn't have even had to change the words: "Don't try to understand "em/ Just rope and throw and brand "em/ Soon we'll be living high and wide."

Comments about Rock N Roller RMH1 Mini Hand Truck:
this cart is not at all what i expected, it is very short, which means you have to lean over to use it, i wish i could return it but i put it together so now i cannot, will have to try and sell it on ebay
this is like a baby hand truck, if you are 4 1/2 ft tall you might like it
it is also very narrow so i dont see how it would handle anything that is bulky or awkward
super light and folds up small
tires are plastic and cheap looking
it will not stand up by itself once unfolded, it collapses , which will make it a pain to try and get things onto it by having to hold it open and load something
i pretty much think it is junk

Comments about Rock N Roller RMH1 Mini Hand Truck:
It sure has come in as a back saver from lugging around my big Fender amp. It's great on a hard surface but with a heavy load it bogs down in loose dirt or sand. Very easy to fold up and unfold. The long snout requires room to manuever but all in all it's a great product.

Comments about Rock N Roller RMH1 Mini Hand Truck:
I play multiple keyboards and with the extended nose, this hand truck lets me move my gear in 2 trips. With previous setups I had 3-5 trips. I highly recommend this to any working musician. After doing some comparison shopping, I purchased it from Musicians' Friend. The service was fast and they had the best price.

You know the scene… You're all tired and emotional from overindulging at Christmas lunch. It's still two hours til the Doctor Who Christmas special so you decide to play a game to while away the time. How would you like to ensure that you always beat your sister and annoying cousin Geoffrey? Dear readers, we present to you the Grime dice invented by our enigmatic friend James Grime.
These dice are special because although the green die is likely to beat the red die, the red to beat the yellow, the yellow to beat the blue and the blue to beat the purple, the purple die has its chance to shine in the Sun and tends to beat the green! If this sounds confusing, it works in a similar way to the familiar game rock-paper-scissors, or the slightly less well-known rock-paper-scissors-lizard-spock.This is because both games are non-transitive. You can read all about them in James' lovely article or watch his explanation below.
You can find out more about non-transitive games in the Plus articles Winning odds and Let 'em roll.

These days that question is easy to answer. If in doubt, pull out your smart phone and check your coordinates. But it's not so long ago that people died for not knowing where they were. Many ships got lost at sea, crashed into rocks or ran aground because sailors couldn't figure out their longitude.
The book Longitude by Dava Sobel tells the fascinating story of that tricky coordinate, why a prize was put on its head and how the puzzle was finally solved by means of a clock. This "true-life thriller" is one of our favourite popular science books ever!

There's not many things that have tempted us to leave our lovely job here at Plus and return to research, but reading Steven Strogatz's book Sync: the emerging science of spontaneous order was definitely one of them. It's a beautifully written book about the emergence of one of the most fascinating, and youngest, areas of maths: network science. Six degrees: The science of a connected age, by Duncan Watts, and Linked: How everything is connected to everything else and what it means for business, science and everyday life, by Albert-László Barabási, are equally brilliant accounts of the birth and early years of network science, all three written by researchers who played pivotal roles in founding this new area.

Our images of the week show the amazing snow art created by Simon Beck.
Snow art. Image © Simon Beck.
Beck creates those beautiful geometrical shapes by walking through the snow. The shape you see above is based on the Von Koch snowflake. To create the full shape, you start with an equilateral triangle and replace the middle third of each side by a "spike" consisting of two sides of a smaller equilateral triangle. Now do the same for each of the twelve straight-line segments of the resulting shape and repeat, ad infinitum. The Von Koch snowflake is an example of a fractal, a mathematical shape that is infinitely intricate and self-similar: it exhibits the same structures over and over again as you zoom in on smaller and smaller pieces. You can find out more about fractals here.
Beck can't produce the Von Koch snowflake exactly, of course, because it involves an infinite process. But he has created an amazingly good approximation, which comes from using the first few iterations of the process. He gets the shape down in the snow by counting steps to measure distances and using a compass when changing direction to make sure he gets the correct angles between straight-line segments. "In the case of the Koch shape, I found I was soon able to judge the 60 degree angles and do it quicker to an acceptable level of accuracy without using the compass," he says.
If you like the pictures, you can see more of them in Beck's new book, Snow Art, which you can purchase from his website. Here are a few more samples:

Many days we take for granted the fact that we can flip a switch and turn on a light or heat our house. When the bill shows up in the mail we become aware of the cost to bring those services to us. As with everything else, those costs keep going up.
Unlike many other services available to us, we don't have a choice about who we get our natural gas or electricity from. This arrangement usually works because having a patchwork system of services just isn't feasible. We also have the Public Service Commission (PSC) to review requests and try to balance the needs of the industry against the best interests of the consumers.
Like most people, I grumble when a price increase for any of these utilities is proposed, but in my heart I know that we can't have the quality without paying the price. But I wonder if I am the only one that is feeling a bit bullied by utility companies lately.
When Rocky Mountain Power only got a $32 million dollar increase instead of the much larger one it requested, it responded by saying it would have to curtail services and not respond to power outages if they occurred after hours to avoid paying workers overtime.
In addition to that, Questar gas is going to pass on the costs of its own mistake to all of us after under billing customers along the Wasatch front.
Bill Barrett Corporation has a television ad running that shows a single mom who is scared to death that the cost of her natural gas may go up and she won't be able to afford it. The message at the end alludes that our natural gas prices will go up if they don't get their way on drilling on the Tavaputs plateau.
The PSC reviewed the requested rate increase for Rocky Mountain for eight months before they settled on their amount for the increase. Questar was already awarded an increase in costs to cover deficits that were partly caused by the under billing. And the drilling in the Tavaputs will probably still happen and much of that gas will head toward California.
I am not writing this to get into the debate on whether or not we should drill. I am just outraged that these groups have stooped to terror tactics to make sure they get what they want.
The cost of bringing us services is not cheap. We need to keep finding new sources of energy to continue to supply our ever increasing need for power and gas. But there are decent ways to go about it and then there is the childish "Breath holding" tactics.
I hope there is enough public outcry to the tactics used that the public relations people take a hard look at the image they are projecting.
No matter what, we will pay more for our utilities next year than what we are paying this year. BBC and others will continue to drill in our area. That is the way it is.
But the one thing that can happen is for these companies that are impacting our lives for both good and sometimes bad, treat us with respect and dignity. We will be a bit more supportive of your actions if we aren't being scared to death.

Helper resident Allen Saccomano completed a life-long dream during the July 4 weekend as he made a lone journey across the United States on his Yamaha motorcycle. Saccomano traveled from his home in Helper to Niagara Falls, N.Y. where he turned around and began his trip home. The journey took Saccomano three and one-half weeks to complete the 5,000 mile round trip which took him through 14 states.
During his adventure, Saccomano met many interesting people and other bikers who were all friendly and helpful. Much to his surprise, he encountered nine lanes of heavy traffic which was moving ahead of him for as far as he could see. For the Helper resident, it was an amazing sight to behold.
Saccomano visited Mammoth Caves and Fort Knox in Kentucky. He also spend a few days in Nashville, Tenn. and made a memorable visit to Graceland and the resting place of Elvis Presley. Before returning home, Saccomano stopped in Branson, MO. to enjoy some country music before returning home.

Comments about Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2:
I have been a bedroom mixer for just over a year using a Vestax Typhoon, which is an excellent solution for the money. I learned just about all I know using it, which isn't much as of yet. I wanted to take the next step into a higher end solution using either Traktor or Serato software. I first tried the Novation Twitch with the Serato Itch software and like everything about the form factor. However, after days of trying to use the Twitch with songs I had previously mixed using the Typhoon, I just could not execute the mixes. I tried over many hours over several days and finally gave up and returned the unit. The software was very challenging to use and would not hold beats like I expected. Then, the next step was the natural move to a Traktor solution. Since Native Instruments writes the Traktor software and builds their Kontrol hardware right around the software, it seemed like a great place to start. Every review on the web for the Kontrol S2 is sparkling, so it seemed like a good bet. And, it surely appears to have been the right choice, to say the least. In less than an hour, I could pull off mixes using my previous songs effortlessly. I found the software to be infinitely easier to use than the Serato. There are also countless powerful features in the software that I will soon be utilizing for my mixes. The Traktor Kontrol S2 is a huge leap for me and I can't wait to dig in much deeper into the world of mixing. I have never DJ'd a gig and am not sure if I ever will, but the S2 is a more than capable tool for the professional. The hardware seems very well built and is more than portable. So, to me, if you are a bedroom mixer or even a professional DJ, I think the Traktor Kontrol S2 from Native Instruments may be a great tool for you. Have fun mixing!
Comments about Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2:
I'm just taken by how intuitive this controller is, the quality of the hardware is great, the seemless integration with the software amazed me. I went from using an american audio vms4 (garbage) with virtual dj and the difference just makes me so greatful to have the people at native intruments doing all of the great things they are.
This is the best controller you will find for the price... by FAR.
Seriously though, this is the controller for anyone.
Buy it.
Comments about Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2:
I really enjoy the convenience, simplicity, and overall feel of the S2. I have no qualms about being a laptop DJ. I just pop the S2 on my mixer stand and my laptop on a tripod stand and plug in. No need for a massive table and crating around a bunch of junk. It's legitimate.
Contains direct hardware interface with the best features of the Traktor software. There really isn't anyting missing. It is small, compact, and sounds great. I don't scratch, but the jog wheels have a great response, the level faders are smooth and tight. The knobs are buttery. The buttons have a solid feel. You can run a backup (ipod or whatever) through the mic input if your system crashes and you need to reboot, just watch the levels! It seems to be a common thought that this doesn't work. It does. Oh, the booth output is handy, too.
Very well built. It's not a tank, though, so make sure you protect it during transport. I've had a Kontrol X1 for two years and the buttons/knobs still feel great...I'll expect the same from the S2.
With the current promotion, it's a steal, especially since you get the software; if you already have Traktor 2, you can sell the software or use it on another laptop.

POTSDAM Students from schools across St. Lawrence County are spending the week at Clarkson University learning how to build roller coasters.
More than 100 students in grades seven through 12 from St. Lawrence, Gouverneur, Lisbon, Ogdensburg, Norwood-Norfolk, Canton, Potsdam, Harrisville, Hermon-DeKalb and Heuvelton school districts participated in the eighth annual weeklong program called Integrated Mathematics and Physics for Entry to Undergraduate STEM, funded through the states Science and Technology Entry Program.
We put together this camp, which brings students together and they work within a company structure to build a roller coaster, starting from an initial blueprint up to a scaled model and a first-rider experience and simulation software, said Kathleen R. Fowler, co-director of the camp and math professor at Clarkson. All along the way theyre doing the analysis to make sure the roller coaster would actually work and that its safe.
Ms. Fowler said the program usually has 40 students, but this year the camp more than doubled.
Its grown and become more exciting and weve now got a record number of students in the camp, said Peter R. Turner, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at Clarkson. I think its a fun learning experience for them all.
Ms. Fowler said the students learn the physics of how a roller coaster works and use certain math concepts throughout the week.
We want to inspire them to be interested in math, science and technology, said Michael W. Ramsdell, Clarkson physics professor and co-director of the camp. Thats why we picked a fun theme like roller coasters.
The students are split into age groups, with seventh- and eighth-graders in a group called concept engineers, who are in charge of creating a scale model of the roller coaster. The ninth- and 10th-graders, the design engineers, are in charge of doing the computations to make sure theres enough velocity for the roller coaster to complete the track, and the 11th- and 12th-graders are the safety engineers, in charge of using the software to create the simulation experience. Ms. Fowler said the three divisions together are considered a roller coaster company.
Theyre basically using a computer program which is set up like a game where theyre building a roller coaster, Mr. Ramsdell said.
Clarkson students helped out with the camp.
Eric E. Fredette is a graduate student at Clarkson who has been helping with the camp for two years.
I do enjoy working with different people, he said. Its really nice to see different peoples backgrounds and help them in areas they struggle with.
Ms. Fowler said the students will go to the Great Escape at Lake George on Thursday to collect data on roller coasters at the park.
On Saturday, the students will be able to showcase their work to their parents with poster presentations.
James A. Miller, a 10th-grader at Madrid-Waddington High School, said this is his second year attending the camp.
The experience shows you how to work together and the importance of math and science, he said.
Tashauna E. Schofell, a 10th-grader from Lisbon High School, said she would like to continue coming to the camp throughout high school.
I like taking a design that you dont know will work and using the math and science to turn it into something practical, she said. Its just a really good experience and IMPETUS is a really fun thing to be a part of.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
At a regular public meeting on March 17, the mayor and council of Helper considered the city's funding priorities relating to applications to the Utah Permanent Community Impact Fund Board.
The mayor expressed his concern that since Helper will soon have two separate applications before the board, the CIB may ask them which of the two has greater priority.
A 2004 application petitioned the CIB for help to fund water tank repairs. The board suggested that the tank is old and a full replacement may be a better solution.
The city is currently conducting a study to survey for leaks in the water system and verify the need for the tank. The application is still to be considered, pending the results of the survey.
"I put a rush on the survey," said Councilmember Robert Welch. "Initially it was supposed to be done in the middle of April. I put a rush on it to be in the first of March. I've got half of it done. Ideally, I want to hurry up and get the rest of the survey done - it's not going to take that long - go back to the CIB board and present it before [the second] application is even submitted. That's the goal."
Helper City Council resolved in January to apply for funds toward a new swimming pool. The application should be filed on April 1, with the CIB reviewing the application with members of the city council in May or June. If the city's funding request for the water tank is delayed further, it could be still pending at the time funding for the pool is considered.
If Welch accomplishes his goal, the funding for the water tank could be secured in April, and the funding for the pool would be the city's only application pending review when it is considered in May or June.
Part of the funding for the proposed pool comes from a last-dollar grant of $75,000. In order for the city to keep that money, the balance of the project funding needs to be secured, either by a commitment to fund or actual dollars, before Dec. 31.
The council's resolution was to place the pool as the city's top priority on the county list for funding, but the council made no motion at that time with regard to the city's priorities for funding from the CIB.
"We're submitting an application. And eventually we're going to have to go up and defend that application before the CIB board. If they ask us, 'Is your priority for a swimming pool or for a water system?' what should our answer be?" said Mayor Joseph Bonacci.
"We've got to have a water tank. You've got to have water to put in the pool," pointed out councilmember Chuck Buchanan.
While the council made no motion to establish the city's position on the matter, members of the city council agreed that the two should have equal priority.
In unrelated matters, the council heard from Pastor Jim Wright, who wanted to know the city's position on the possibility of purchasing the La Salle Hotel to be used as a residential support center for recovering drug addicts. The council recognized that the center was a good idea, but questioned whether it was in the best interest of Helper to have it on Main Street or in the city.
The hotel is not zoned for the proposed use, and the council suggested that rezoning would be a difficult process. The council also encouraged Wright to find out how residents of the city felt about the idea.
Also, the city approved the purchase of a mower for the park in the amount of $5,000 and TASER guns for the police department in the amount of $3,000.
In another matter, the council made no decision regarding the possibility of returning $107,000 in CDBG money used for the Rio Theater. The city needs to hire three full-time employees before the end of the year or the money which the city secured 10 years ago needs to be returned.

Though you might not know it at first glance, Dree Hemingway is the female equivalent of a speeding bullet. That's right, our latest Girl of the Month is off like a shot and quickly becoming the next new name on everyone's lips. The former ballerina-turned-model's ultra-quick ascent can be attributed to a number of factors-such as her extreme beauty and intriguing pedigree (her great-grandpa is Ernest, mom is Mariel)-but at WhoWhatWear.com, we're just wild about her excellent personal style.
If you need proof of Hemingway's swift rise, we'd like to offer the following tidbit for your consideration. In the past month alone, she's popped up in the most important glossies around, appearing in the March ELLE as a part of a story on Alexander Wang, as the sole subject of Vogue's back of the book Index: Checklist, and featured in a Craig McDean-photographed fashion editorial for Interview.
Plus, this darling girl-all coltish limbs and incredibly healthy hair-was the star of Halston's fall collection. In lieu of a traditional runway show, this season Halston created a short web video of the various autumnal looks and features Hemingway running (with a grande jeté or two) down a Manhattan street. It's an unusual and fresh presentation, and definitely worth watching. All that said, perhaps the most compelling development in Hemingway's career is the fact that she's been anointed by none other than Riccardo Tisci. On this coming Sunday, Hemmingway will make her Fall 09 runway debut at Givenchy, where she's booked exclusively for this fashion season. Exciting stuff!
Aside from all these interesting developments, what intrigues us about Hemingway is her thoroughly cool style and personality. She cites Edie Sedgewick in Ciao Manhattan as a wardrobe influence and confesses to being addicted to the incomparable website, JakandJil.com. (As a bona fide shoe hound, Hemingway appreciates Jak & Jil founder Tommy Ton's footwear-photographing proclivities.) Like most girls, our GOTM is mad about Alexander Wang and waxes enthusiastic about his new shoe line, particularly his Alexis Fringe Boots ($595) and Carrington Perforated Boots ($575, Kirna Zabete: 212.941.9656). When asked about her favorite designers, the list was emblematic of her taste level and named all the usual chic suspects: Balenciaga, Rick Owens, Givenchy, Lanvin, and Balmain.
We couldn't tell you how Hemingway developed such super-stylish sensibilities, but we do know that her wardrobe preferences tend to be quite Parisian in nature-with a dash of California casual thrown in for good measure. For example, at a recent party for Los Angeles Confidential magazine (far left image), Hemingway wore a vintage plaid shirt unbuttoned over Agent Provocateur's Gangster Bra ($170), and a pair of J Brand Cigarette Jeans ($159) tucked into Miu Miu boots. The bralette is very current (see: Alexander Wang, Prada) while the oversized button-down is a classic choice. Regarding the latter, CP Shades' Marissa Plaid Shirt ($150) is a smart, in-stock version of Hemingway's top.
This ability to blend the timeless with the timely shows up again and again in Hemingway's outfit selections. At the New York City Ballet's opening night party (second from left), the model combined a slightly sheer, yet modestly cut, Patrick Rzepski dress with a tailored Zara blazer. Wisely, she added a kinky pair of A.F. Vandevorst triple-strap heels to sex the whole look up. You can create your own version of this look with Elizabeth and James' Strapless Lingerie Dress ($375), as well as either Report Signature's Dita Heels ($195) or Christin Michaels' Rena Heels ($114).
Additionally, we adore Hemingway's fondness for a black, white, and gray color palette: it's simple, stark, and sophisticated. The oversized Alexander Wang Herringbone Jacket ($486.50, on sale) she wore to the MCM boutique opening (center image) was a chic backdrop for her cherry red patent MCM clutch (Mulberry's Long Locked Purse ($292) is a good alternative). A little hit of red also enlivened an outfit she wore while in Sundance (second from right). The bright orange-red lipstick dressed up a Raquel Allegra Shredded Tank ($198), Ksubi Slim Straight Jeans ($215), Humanoid cardigan, and Lanvin flats. Hemingway's final look required no such pop of color; it's flawless just the way it is. The model wore a head-to-toe Calvin Klein Collection ensemble to the Fall 08 show last month, which was just the icing on the impeccable cake!

The King's ChairMonday, January 17th, 2011
Several months ago, I found a cane arm chair at a thrift store and just had to bring it home. Something about its shape spoke to me. As I mentioned before, I had every intention of placing it in our master bedroom, as a place for 'The King' of this castle to take off his shoes at the end of the day. Unfortunately, over the course of this makeover, 'The Queen' happened to fall in love with it, and thinks it might just belong downstairs.
I stripped it down to its frame before the holidays began, but sadly, it was cast aside for the frenzy of Christmas crafts and holiday décor. I tried to finish it before Christmas when I discovered how to make double welt cord, but then my last needle broke and the chair was returned to the garage. This past weekend, I returned to this project, and finally finished it!
Here is the chair 'Before':
And 'After':
I kept it classic this time. I didn't pick a snazzy modern fabric or the latest geometric for the upholstery to wow you. Instead, I chose a neutral camel velvet because I wanted it to be a timeless piece ~ one I could rotate throughout the house based on whim, feeling, and mood ~ all the things that dictate furniture placement in my home these days.

The fire had spread rapidly through the weeds and dead branches but no structures were threatened. They had to return the next day because the fire had some hot spots left that had to be extinguished. Suspected cause of the fire is a child playing with a lighter or matches.

Seven years after the fact, the Rangers might finally reap the
rewards of the controversial Brian Leetch trade.
The haul from that trade was Maxim Kondratiev, Jarkko
Immonen, a first-round pick that became Lauri Korpikoski, and a second-round
pick that became Mike Sauer. Kondratiev played 29 ineffective games
for the Rangers and is now in the KHL, Immonen managed three goals and five
assists in 20 games with the Rangers, Korpikoski was dealt two summers ago to
Phoenix for Enver Lisin, and Sauer has become a stalwart on the Rangers' blue
But Immonen was a monster during the recently concluded
World Championships scoring nine goals and three assists, and he has been
dominant in Finland and
in the KHL in recent years.
The 26-year-old was unable to stick with the Rangers despite
impressing in the AHL, but Immonen has grown up a bit since then and has
clearly caught the Rangers' eyes once again.
The Rangers still control Immonen's rights and Whale GM Jim
Schoenfeld said "he will be
part of the discussion" at this week's organizational meetings.
CT Whale beat writer Bruce Berlet believes Immonen could be
an option at center should the Rangers fail to land Brad Richards. That's
a bit of a stretch, but Immonen isn't going to need any more seasoning in the
AHL if he does sign. If the Rangers bring him back to North America, it will be to play in the NHL.
The Rangers already have Derek Stepan, Brian Boyle, and
Artem Anisimov firmly entrenched at center, so if they believe Immonen is ready
to make an impact there would be a log-jam.
- The cause of Derek Boogaard's death is still in question,
but this
report indicates that his concussion was more severe than most realize. "It
was frustrating because we couldn't go out without his head spinning again. One
thing that nobody knows is that riding in cabs through New York, he would just start spinning. He'd
have his hands on his head and he'd say, 'I need to get out right now' and we'd
end up walking like 60 blocks home. I knew [the concussion] was bad."
- Don't miss Jim
Cerny's touching tribute to Boogaard.
- Again, the cause of Boogaard's death is unknown, but former
NHL enforcer Georges Laraque thinks the Rangers deserve at least some of the
blame. Laraque says that Boogaard told him the Rangers told him
to 'take the rest of the year off' even after Boogaard had recovered. Laraque
recalls that Boogaard was 'a bit down' when they spoke. We'll know
more when the autopsy results come out, but Laraque chose to open his mouth
prematurely anyway.
- Andrew Gross spoke
with Chris Kreider yesterday, and the BC junior still says he's going to
stay in school next year.
- Here's a cool
look at how MSG looks right now while it's being renovated.
- It's sounding pretty likely that the Atlanta Thrashers
will be on the move to Winnipeg. That
means that there could soon be division realignment, and there are some
interesting scenarios for that. TSN's Bob McKenzie first
reported that Winnipeg would head to the Northwest, Minnesota would go to the Central, and Nashville would end
up in the Southeast. Last night The Fourth Period reported
that the Columbus Blue Jackets could move to the Southeast Division, the
Thrashers would move to the Northwest, and the Wild would move to the

Beekeepers Report Higher Loss Rates In Bee Populations

Local beekeepers claim their yearly loss rates within their bee populations has gone from an average of 10% per year to 30% per year over the last 10 years, though they are unsure whether the cause lies with a mite and a virus it might be spreading or with the increased use of certain pesticides by local farmers. According to a recent report prepared by Greenpeace seven pesticides currently in use in Europe present a real danger to bees. Bees are essential in nature in pollenating a wide variety of plants and trees. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

Results tagged "2013 World Championships"
You've seen the photo. Now here's the story behind the picture from the man himself.
Sam Kendricks captured a national title in the men's pole vault at the 2013 Outdoor Track & Field Championships this past Wednesday. His title was the 13th individual national championship in program, and he earned All-America distinction.
The sophomore from Oxford, Miss., also combined with senior sprinter Isiah Young for 24 points to finish eighth in the team standings, the best in school history.
The photo above, courtesy of Josh McCoy, came on his winning pole vault at a height of 18-8.25 feet.
"The funny thing about that moment -- that picture -- is that I went through about five different emotions as I came dwon," Kendricks said. "Josh McCoy snapped that one picture where I was like this, but I was only like that for an instant. And so I was celebrating, and then I was relieved, and then I hit the mat, and it was over."
"With all my friends there and all the coaches, I really still don't know how to feel. I'm excited. I feel proud to be a Rebel. I feel accomplished that I have done this. But at the same time, who can be fully satisfied with something like this. I went there and did what I knew I could do. I just happened to come out victorious in the competition. And right now, I'm looking toward the future."
Kendricks said he never envisioned when he first started vaulting that all this was even a possibility, even to come to Ole Miss, even to jump higher than 14 feet. His grandfather, also Sam, has a flag pole in his front yard, and he moved it up from height to height while Sam jumped in high school, eventually to his highest jump, 17 feet. Sam said the flag pole didn't go any higher, and his grandfather didn't want to buy a new one. When he arrived home yesterday, he said he saw something that reminded him of the flag pole.
"I see a big banner that says, 'Congratulations, Sam,' and I see all my family standing in the front yard, but I also see something along the column next to the front door, and it's a tape measure," Kendricks said.
"And it goes up and up and up and up, over the balcony, over the second story, and onto our roof, and I realized my mom had climbed on the outside of the balcony and taped it at 18-8.25 feet, way above the second story of our roof."
The immediate future Kendricks talked about is the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, which will be held June 20-23 in Des Moines, Iowa, where the top qualifiers will advance to the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Russia, Aug. 10-18. There's also the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which Kendricks said he also thinks about. He is currently ranked second among Americans and seventh in the world this year with a mark of of 19-0.75 feet.
"I've never done anything on that scale before," he said of representing his country. "Coming to college has been new experience after new experience. And just the possibility that I might be able to put USA on my chest is fulfilling."
"I think every guy need to allow himself those dreams," he said of Rio 2016. "And I hope that in the future I can still be a competitive vaulter, be healthy and be able to represent my country the best I can. The Olympic dream is always out there for a lot of guys, and for me, and I would be really happy if that came to fruition."
