While most teenagers are concerned with what they're wearing to prom, not fashion week, there's a growing batch of stylish youngsters who routinely attend hot-ticket shows-and do so dressed impeccably! Chic girls like the Fanning sisters, Chloe Moretz, and Hailee Steinfeld all come to mind, but allow us to introduce another name to the list: actress Sami Gayle! In addition to a promising acting career on the big screen, the budding starlet has a terrific sense of style that belies her young age, making her a top-notch pick for our Girl of the Month feature! We first spotted her in the television series Blue Bloods and we're anxiously awaiting her upcoming May flick Stolen, in which she stars alongside Nicolas Cage, as well as next year's sci-fi film The Congress. In the meantime, we're happy to admire her playful-yet-chic approach to fashion, and hope you find Gayle as inspiring as we do!
One thing we especially adore about Gayle is her fresh take on one particular wardrobe staple: the blazer. Take, for instance, the head-to-toe Alice + Olivia look she wore to the brand's F/W 12 show last month. She effectively punched up a timeless noir jacket by adding a pair of of-the-moment bright pants, a spot-on styling idea!
Menswear-inspired dressing isn't the only thing in Gayle's repertoire, however! We're just as smitten with her sweet and feminine looks too. For example, we love the girly outfit she wore to the after-party for the film Albert Nobbs in New York last month. Gayle opted for a Patterson J. Kincaid floral blouse, which she tucked into Parker's Pleated Leather Skirt ($286), creating a flirtatious, party-perfect ensemble. Her savvy styling at the Rachel Roy F/W 12 show last month, where she donned the designer's Dull Rayon Pleated Dress ($498), also caught our eye. The frock is simplistic yet memorable, and provided the perfect template for a handful of chic accessories, including Robert Verdi's Joanna Geometric Inlay Sunglasses ($30) in White/Silver, Yves Saint Laurent suede pumps, and a Lanvin shoulder bag.
We're so enamored with Gayle's sensibilities that we've hand-picked a selection of pieces inspired by the actress for your shopping pleasure! From a pair of vivid pants to an adorable frock, we think we've hit the nail on the head with our choices and hope you agree!
Reiss Romeo Quilted Chain Shoulder Bag ($360) in Cream
We're quite envious of the Lanvin purse Gayle wore to the Rachel Roy F/W 12 show last month, but since designer bags are out of reach for most of us, we thought we'd include a more affordable alternative. Reiss' Romeo Quilted Chain Shoulder Bag fits the bill perfectly, as its wonderful cream color and sophisticated shape make it a covetable piece indeed!
Alpinestars by Denise Focil Arizona Jacket ($210) in Grey w/ Black Collar
Given Gayle's penchant for blazers, we'd be remiss if we didn't include a standout outerwear option. We knew we struck gold when we came across this tailored version by Alpinestars, as the classic piece easily fits into anyone's wardrobe! Plus, we think the contrasting collar makes it all the more charming!
Henry Holland for Le Specs Mono Brow Sunglasses ($89) in Gold/Smoke to Brown
A pair of oversized sunnies are an easy way to imitate Gayle's stellar style, but we wouldn't include just any old pair! These shades by Henry Holland for Le Specs are an especially outstanding option, thanks to their ombre, rounded lenses and fantastic price.
Talbots Signature Fit Floral Super Crop Pants ($79.50)
We're crazy for the pink trousers Gayle wore to the Alice + Olivia F/W 12 show last month, but we wanted to kick it up a notch and include a printed pair in the same great hue! We imagine our GOTM would balance out these energetic pants with a subdued black jacket and simple accessories-and would no doubt pull it off exceptionally well!
Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish ($16) in On The Beach
Spring is the perfect time to test-drive bright nail polishes, but if you're still searching for the perfect color, look no further than this version by Deborah Lippmann. Our reasoning is simple: its terrific turquoise shade would complement any look this season!
Madewell Patent Film Noir Pumps ($188) in Electric Citron
To go along with Gayle's youthful spirit, we picked a brilliantly yellow pair of pumps we're sure she would be mad about. Team these kicks with neutral colors to allow them to take center stage, or if you're feeling daring, pair them with bright hues to create a fantastic colorblock effect.
ERIN by Erin Fetherston ¾ Sleeve Waisted Dress ($495)
We've always been fans of Erin Fetherston's fanciful creations, so we rejoiced when she launched a lower-priced diffusion line, ERIN. Our favorite piece from the collection? This adorable noir frock replete with an oversized sequined bow! We think it suits our GOTM's youthful style perfectly, and we suggest snagging one pronto!
Kenneth Cole New York Short-Sleeve Jagged Print Top ($69.50) in Black
Inspired by Gayle's love of patterned blouses, we picked this Kenneth Cole iteration because of its contrasting colors and vivid graphic print. This short-sleeved top can easily be worn with jeans and flats for lazy weekends, or dressed up with a flirty skirt and heels for nighttime. However you don it, we're confident this tee will get a ton of wear this season!-Erin Fitzpatrick

Isa Chandra Moskowitz is a familiar name to many vegans; she's written a number of vegan cookbooks, including the classic Veganomican, an essential recipe collection and culinary guide for those who avoid cooking with animal products, and she has a popular website focusing on vegan baking and cooking, Post Punk Kitchen. Her latest cookbook endeavor is Isa Does It: Amazingly Easy, Wildy Delicious Vegan Recipes for Every Day of the Week, and let's just say I'm in love. Isa Does It is chock full of over 200 delicious and easy-to-make recipes, highlighted by beautiful photos and charming illustrations. As with all her recipes that I've made, I've found them to be fairly quick (between a half-an-hour to an hour to make) and layered with complex flavors. This is a great cookbook for people who aren't vegan, too; as a vegetarian, I find I'm occasionally disappointed by vegan cookbooks because they use a lot of uncommon ingredients or dairy replacements that I wouldn't want to buy. Isa Does It relies on fairly common ingredients, making it a great choice for not only vegans, but also for vegetarians and for omnivores looking for ideas for "Meatless Mondays."
Jesmyn Ward won the 2011 National Book Award for fiction with her book Salvage the Bones, a novel that follows a poor Mississippi family in the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina and uses their story to confront issues of poverty and racism. Ward's new book Men We Reaped continues the discussion of poverty and race, but this time the stakes seem even higher: Men We Reaped is a memoir centering on the death of five men, in as many years, in her small DeLisle, Mississippi community. All five men touched her life in some manner, but the heart of the book lies with the death of her beloved brother Joshua. Though the circumstance of each death varies, they are inevitably linked by unyielding poverty and deeply systemic racism.
Interspersed between the stories of their deaths, Ward tells stories of her childhood; the nonlinear storyline of the book unwinds like a puzzle—as more pieces of her childhood and details of her community are revealed, the issues that tie the deaths together become more apparent, and her feelings that the black men in her community are being stolen away are understandable. Ward knows the hopelessness, the fear, and sadness left behind when a community loses its men; this is her attempt to tell their stories and let the world know that their lives mattered.
Ever get annoyed by any of those TED talks that seem to gloss over the complexities of a problem and present a technological solution that seems too good to be true in its simplicity? Ever feel grumpy when technology pundits seem to assume that there are socially-networked, big data solutions to all of the world's problems? Well, let me introduce you toEvgeny Morozov, one of the most challenging, snarky, and clearly brilliant people examining technology and its impact on our world today. Morozov's latest title, To Save Everything Click Here, argues against the ubiquitous "solutionism" and "Internet-centric" thinking that seeks slick and efficient technology based solutions to nearly all of mankind's problems and fails to recognize, or even consider, the value that messiness and inefficiency can often bring to certain systems (American politics being a good example, where conflict, compromise, and messiness are built right into the process). This is not what I would call a "light read" by any stretch, and the shear ferocity of Morozov's argument can become tedious and annoying along the way, but his appraisal of our modern world and the way that it is developing are well worth it. For more brilliant contrarian views on our networked society see Who Owns the Future? by Jaron Lanier.
When I heard a buzz about a British bestseller written by a very funny woman who wasn't afraid to talk about feminism, I thought, "This is the book for me!" And when I checked out the book and found a blurb on it that referred to it as "the British version of Tina Fey's Bossypants," I thought, "this is definitely the book for me!" Although I see only a few similarities between Bossypants and Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman (both written by funny women who are willing to acknowledge the difficulties of being a mother), it really was the book for me. Caitlin Moran began her career as a columnist for Melody Maker (a British music magazine) at the ripe young age of 16. Her book is a funny but pertinent look at feminism and women in the Western world today, told through important events/mistakes over the course of her life and career. She's warm, irreverent, and a bit crass. Reading this book felt to me like getting back in touch with an old friend and laughing about ridiculous life choices made in an effort to be a woman.
Jacqueline Kennedy was a woman who desperately wanted a private life. Clint Hill was the man who was charged with giving her as much of a private life as he was able.
As one of two Secret Service agents on the First Lady's protective detail, he tells their amazing story in Mrs. Kennedy and Me. Although the stories in this memoir are fascinating, what is most compelling is Mr. Hill's fierce dedication and loyalty to Mrs. Kennedy as she lived a life that was so very public.
Emerson once dreamed that the world shrunk into an apple. An angel told him to eat it, and so he did. A fitting image of transcendentalist thought! The world is so small we can eat it; the mind prevails,"there was never any thing that did not proceed from a thought"; a single human being can do anything.
By most accounts Emerson was a great American, a great speaker, and a great man. He was a transcendentalist, a nature writer, a Unitarian minister, a teacher, a literary figure, a speaker (yes, that was his profession!), a poet. He was anti-slavery, anti-establishment, pro-women's rights (all when it was "unfashionable"); and, even through family deaths and sorrows, he was a champion of unbridled and unparalleled optimism. But what impresses me most is the degree to which he thought for himself, went his own way, and fearlessly lived.
At 24 Emerson visits the South. He's at a bible study. He can hear a slave auction outside. He and his wife, part of the Underground Railroad in Boston, would always be vocal against slavery. On the Emancipation Proclamation he said: "[Lincoln] has been permitted to do more for America than any other American man." When the war was only about saving the Union, he wouldn't't let his son enlist. He supported John Brown. In 1844 even the churches wouldn't open their doors for his speeches, which fueled his distrust of organized religion: "God builds his temple in the heart, on the ruins of churches and religions."
On the unity of all persons: "There is one mind common to all individual men" Like Thoreau's chant "Simplicity!" Emerson's chant was "Identity, identity! Friend and foe are one stuff, and the stuff is such and so much that the variations of surface are unimportant." On us and Nature: "There is a relation between man and nature so that whatever is in matter is in mind." On beauty: "all is in each" and "the standard of beauty is the entire circuit of natural forms—the totality of nature." He was so convinced in the power of a single individual that he said "properly there is no history, only biography." In other words, if you want to learn history, read a bunch of biographies--history is nothing but a list of great and terrible people. But we are all potentially great people: "each fine genius that appears is already predicted in our constitution." In a stoic and Christian way, he thought groups of people only make things worse. After witnessing the French Revolution, he says "It is always becoming evident that the permanent good is for the soul only and cannot be retained in any society or system...the world is always childish." On courage, peace, and nonviolence Emerson was like Martin Luther King Jr: "Courage is grounded always on a belief in the identity of the nature of my enemy with my own [nature], that he with whom you contend is no more than you."
Yes I recommend this biography, but it's a commitment (due to length).
There's no way of understating the influence Plato's The Republic had on the history of Western thought. Whitehead said that all philosophy after Plato was nothing but a footnote to what Plato already said (he wrote several dialogues).
Plato was one of the first to start off the great "utopian" tradition of writing about a perfect world, a perfect society, the harmonious family, the best City, a sublime life-after-death, a tranquil existence within oneself--all imaginations that could be real, if only we tried it this way. Everyone has thought of their own version. Think of Jesus' "kingdom of God" and St. Augustine's "city of God" and Thomas More's "utopia" (called "utopia" as a satire because in latin it means "no place") and Martin Luther King's "beloved" community" and B.F. Skinner's in Walden Two. I met a guy at the library that was actually part of a real utopian commune in the U.S. (Emerson almost joined "Brook Farm"). Check out this book for a history of Utopias.
Plato imagines that the perfect city is a mirror of the perfect person. People fundamentally have three parts to their Soul: the rational part, the "spiritive" part (as in a warrior has spirit), and the "appetite" part (or desires). A City has the same parts, and they rank in the same order. Philosopher-Kings rule the city as model's of rational thinking, warriors protect it as model's of spirit and courage and braveness of heart, and the "commoners" make and trade all the stuff as model's of drive and desire and want. Thus we have a city as an extension of the perfectly organized self.
Plato and the gang, very regretfully, decide not to let poets into his city. Read it to find out why!
Love is a desire, a craving, an "apetite" for what people think is good for them. The more "obedient" you are to a person, an idea, or a feeling, the more you act on it. For a second this sounds like Plato, but only for a second. In the state of nature, this "apetite" goes unchecked, leaving human nature to commit the most brutal selfish acts. What people need, says Hobbes, is the government to tell them what is good for them, what they should be obedient to:
"in the condition of men that have no other law but their own appetites, there can be no general rule of good and evil actions. But in a Commonwealth this measure is false: not the appetite of private men, but the law, which is the will and appetite of the state, is the measure."
"in the condition of men that have no other law but their own appetites, there can be no general rule of good and evil actions. But in a Commonwealth this measure is false: not the appetite of private men, but the law, which is the will and appetite of the state, is the measure."
As Hobbes lays out the laws, or starting principles, of his utopia, he makes some startling claims about what "the people are to be taught." First, they should not love other nations. Second, they should not love particular "popular" people [heroes] within their own nation; this takes away from the "Sovereign" [the ruling class, I take it]. Loving heroes "may fitly be compared to the violation of the second of the Ten Commandments."
Sounding much like Augustine, but with a more grim and authoritarian tone generally, Hobbes reduces even the Golden Rule, and salvation itself, to pure obedience to God:
"All that is necessary to salvation is contained in two virtues, faith in Christ, and obedience to laws. The latter…if it were perfect, were enough to us. But because we are all guilty..."
"The obedience required at our hands by God, that accepteth in all our actions the will for the deed, is a serious endeavour to obey Him; and is called also by all such names as signify that endeavour. And therefore obedience is sometimes called by the names of charity and love, because they imply a will to obey; and our Saviour himself maketh our love to God, and to one another, a fulfilling of the whole law" And whoever loves God and others "hath all the obedience necessary."
Hobbes focus on love as obedience reminds me of a quote from my blog on Christian love, where Jesus says that obedience fuels love, and vice versa: "If you love me, you will obey my teaching" and "this is my command: love each other."

Scouting report entering the season from Blueshirt Bulletin
staff writer and author of The
Prospect Park, Jess Rubenstein:
"Yogan by all rights should score at least 30 goals this
season as he has some quality teammates to work with. Yogan has to simply play
a simple game and not look for the fancy moves…If Yogan can do that then he
will put up some huge numbers." (Sept. 25, 2011)
What They're Saying:
Prospects – "A large center with good
hands, Yogan is a better passer than shot. Still, he tends to shoot the puck a
lot. Has had issues with work ethic and hockey sense."
Scouting Report – [Ranked 71st
among 2010 NHL draft prospects, 48th among forwards] "Yogan is another player
with first round skills that will likely slip a bit in the draft. He's a great
skater for his size and has good offensive tools, although his finish is
questionable." (Spring 2010)
RantSports.com – "Yogan looks to have a better work ethic that what
was originally projected out of him, as well as becoming a great shooter which
was said to be a weakness of his…Yogan looks like he could become a steal for
the Rangers and develop into a very, very solid for the Rangers in the future."
(Summer 2011)
BlueSeatBlogs – "Right now looking at a depth chart of potential
forwards in Connecticut it doesn't look like there will be room for Yogan. That
is not a slight on Yogan, he is a very skilled and talented young player, but I
think the extra year of over-age eligibility might hurt his chances of playing
for the Whale this season. If he does end up here, he certainly didn't look out
of place with two goals in his first pro game, and he totalled three points
total in just two games. I think he would fit in quite well here." –Brian Ring
(Sept. 9, 2011)
Rangers Blog – "Yogan is known as a goal scorer, with impressive
offensive skill and ability. Although the Boca Raton, Florida, native is not
the best skater, he has a very good shot and he has the ability to find open
positions around the opposing teams net. During the 2011 Traverse City
Tournament, Yogan created several scoring chances and it seemed that he was
always in the right place at the right time for free rebounds." (Sept. 26,
Hockey's Future – [Ranks Yogan 11th among NYR prospects] "The
center has a big frame and skates well. He can plant himself in front of the
net and has soft hands. He is expected to play on the wing at the professional
level, which is expected to begin next spring." (Sept. 27, 2011)
"Yogan has a big frame and skates well. He can take
face-offs and goes to the net well, along with decent vision. Yogan also can
drop the gloves, although that is not expected to be his strong point at the
next level." (Sept. 27, 2011)
"After missing almost the entire 2010-11 season, Yogan is
expected to return to junior hockey for this coming season. He is projected to
be a borderline second line player and is at least two seasons away from being
NHL-ready." (Sept. 27, 2011)
"Andrew Yogan also made a big leap on the list, and I have
to say that my eyes widened at times watching him play. I love his size and the
physical game he has started to play. Going to the net, with a nice shot and
good hands, Yogan is impressive. Now in Peterborough for an overage OHL season,
he is a Rangers prospect to watch, because he could be a perfect power forward
on the second line in years to come." (Sept. 28, 2011)
The Prospect Park – "With 2 first rounders as linemates, Yogan just
needs to keep his game simple and the points will pile up for him. Both of his
linemates put up 34 goals each last season but more importantly they are
unselfish players who put the team first and that is an area Yogan could learn
something about…Yogan is a very talented player as no question he is a very
skilled goal scorer (25 goals 2 years ago) but what we believe holds Yogan back
is Yogan. Yogan wants to highlight reel play when just a basic play would do
more." (Sept. 29, 2011)

Close up shots of some mixed rice
I started taking pictures when I was very little, mainly to avoid boredom while traveling with my father. Over time, boredom turned into interest, and interest into passion. Years later, thanks to the encouragement of some friends, I decided I wanted to turn this hobby into a career. I joined the " Scuola Romana di Fotografia" and undertook a 3-year program with the intention of becoming a professional photographer and great reporter. My goal was to travel the world, and see and show its corruption. But then I fell in love, with the woman whom I married. My life has changed since, and so did my project. I no longer wanted to see the corruption of the world, but its beauty. After some initial work with nonprofit agencies, I have been...

CLEVELAND -- A man is facing multiple charges after the vehicle he was driving allegedly struck a 59-year-old woman Wednesday afternoon.
Cleveland Police say the woman was entering her parked vehicle when she was struck around 1 p.m. in the 6600 block of Lorain Avenue.
Herpurse was caught on the side of the suspect's vehicle mirror, police said, before the driver fled the scene.
The woman's son witnessed the incident and searched for the suspect's vehicle after calling for medical help and police assistance.
A short time later, the suspect's vehicle was found in the parking lot of a Home Depot at West 117th and Lorain Avenue.
The suspect, 26-year-old Raymond Stewart Jr., was located in the area and placed under arrest on charges of aggravated vehicular assault and possession of criminal tools.
Stewart was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center for treatment of injuries.
The incident remains under investigation.

Managed Services
As a result, the maintenance of technologies that protect your business – such as data backups, server monitoring, and security– lags behind, leaving your business vulnerable to outages, productivity and revenue losses, and threats. iCorps' managed services are a reliable, cost-effective, and headache-free option that make certain that the technologies you depend on to protect your business are doing just that.
We've Got You Covered
Rest Easy
There are a many benefits to removing these technologies from your already complicated IT environment and placing them in iCorps' capable hands. In addition to ease of use, ease of management, and less worry:
No Hidden Costs
Surprisingly, in a straight price comparison of on-premise versus managed services, the total cost of ownership (TCO) is about equal. But the deck is stacked in favor of the managed services when you consider the P&L benefits of turning a capital expenditure (a large initial expense depreciated over time) into an operational expenditure (a flat monthly fee).
iCorps' managed services are priced as a subscription, with an initial provisioning fee followed by a set monthly rate. You know exactly what services you're getting for your money. No hidden costs, nothing to manage, and nothing to worry about. Just peace of mind – knowing that the technologies that you depend on to protect your business really are doing just that.

Can crews inspect 1,000 bridges in 24 hours after an earthquake?
EUGENE, Ore. -- A Lane County bridge inspector peers underneath a bridge on Lone Pine Drive.
He checks the bridge joints. They're fine.
He moves to the columns and sees it: a piece of paper duct taped to the top of one pyle.
The inspector makes a note, then returns to his truck to radio in the find.
"A concrete pyle, crushed and bulging reinforcing bars," he says. "Recommending closure. No alternate route."
The paper represents structural damage to a bridge in the emergency inspection drill that played out Tuesday.
Crews from Cottage Grove, Eugene, Springfield, Lane County and the Oregon Department of Transportation set out to physically around 100 bridges in the county to test their emergency preparedness plan.
After a major earthquake, crews would be dispatched to visually inspect every one of the more than 1,000 bridges in Lane County to see which are safe to drive on and which would be shut down because of damage. The plan calls for all inspections to take place within 24 hours.
"The main thing is how long it takes to inspect all the bridges we have to inspect and see if it's realistic that we can do it," explained Mike Russell, senior engineering associate with Lane County's Department of Public Works.
Public Works department crews focused on the main route bridges in the county Tuesday. They examined bridge joints, columns and decks while looking for possible damage like cracks, splitting or structural movement.
Each department planned to debrief their crews separately following the drill.

At locations across Utah and from coast to coast in the United States, consumers are getting stung by cryptic telephone, e-mail and pager messages.
The messages urge consumers to call a number for information about injured or sick relatives, prize opportunities or debt collectors.
The messages then tell recipients of the messages to call a long-distance number for additional information.
But in numerous cases, what appears to be a three-digit domestic area code is in reality the telephone number for an international pay-per-call line.
"The latest version we are seeing looks like someone is sending you an e-mail order verification," explained Francine Giani, director of the Utah Division of Consumer Protection. "The message tells you that the order will be shipped unless canceled."
"You call, spend a couple of minutes on hold, a couple more canceling the order and think nothing more of it. You won't realize you have been victimized until you receive your phone bill with some huge charge for international calling," pointed out the consumer protection agency director.
E-mail is becoming a preferred tool for scam artists because the method is cheap and easy to send out thousands or hundreds of thousands of messages.
"Always be suspicious of e-mail from people you don't know or never have sent a message to," advised Giani. "And be even more suspicious if it is coming to you as a blind copy."
Concerned or curious consumers who take the bait and place the return call are usually kept on the line, listening to long-winded messages, indicated the state agency's director.
As the clock ticks, the long distance charges build and scam artists are counting the rebates they will receive from foreign telephone companies.
For every minute unwary consumers remains on the line, the scam artist collects a bigger share of profits, continued Giani.
It is not always easy to distinguish an international dialing code from a North American area code, pointed out the consumer protection division director.
Some places at various locations outside the U.S. or Canada may be reached by dialing a telephone number beginning with three digits that resemble a regular area code.
Examples include areas in the Caribbean.
Many scam artists take advantage of the situation and of unsuspecting consumers by urging the potential victims to dial the telephone numbers without revealing that the calls will result in international long distance charges, continued the state division director.
Because countries establish individual telephone rates, there is no limit to the per-minute charge for making the calls, concluded Giani.

Detroit 92, Clippers 74
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 02/13/07, 05:53am:
In the first half, the Clippers do a better job of moving the ball side to side, largely because, with EB's absence, there's no lynchpin on the ball side for that drop play. Sometimes Chris sets up at Elton's spot on the left elbow, and we see more penetration from Maggette and Livingston than usual[1]. Neither Shaun nor Corey has a super game, though Maggette works his way to the line for five pairs of free throws (9-10). Corey has a difficult time getting to the hoop all night because there's little disincentive for the Detroit defenders not to collapse on the interior. When Elton is on the floor, his man has to stay home. When Elton is getting treatment on his back, that's not so much an issue. To Corey's credit, when the Pistons plug up Corey's driving lane, he chooses to back out and reset a number of times[2]. Corey has only one turnover, as well as a botched, easy layup on a break.
If you're a defender chasing around a shooting guard, it's exceedingly difficult to get past a Tim Thomas screen. With Phoenix in the postseason, we saw how seemingly every possession for the Suns started with a Thomas high S/R, followed by either a fade or a dive/drag toward the basket. It's more effective in a frenetic offense, but the Clips don't use him enough [or he doesn't take enough initiative...who knows anymore?] on the strong side. Instead, the Clippers rely on this popular [and increasingly antiquated] notion that somehow, if Thomas stands out on the arc, he'll effectively "spread the floor," as if his defender can't sag if Cassell has dribbled to the far left corner -- where he traditionally likes to back down his defender --- or even if Elton has the ball in the low post against a much larger defender over whom he can't zip a pass out to the far side perimeter. In this game, Thomas was more present on the strong side. Early, he repeatedly creates room for Mobley on the arc. He also sets himself up for kick-outs off Maggette's penetration[3]. But even then, 'Sheed does a solid job yielding TT just enough room, but not so much that it disrupts Detroit's zone[4], or prevents 'Sheed from filling the lane on a drive. TT gets some nice looks from beyond the arc, but goes 3-10 from beyond, and 3-13 overall.
Chris Kaman has a nice night, taking advantage of the one advantage the Clips have offensively over the Pistons' defense -- Chris Webber. In the second quarter, Dunleavy actually goes to Kaman with Paul Davis, something he did last year at times when he paired up Chris with Rebraca, allowing Kaman to operate essentially as a PF. Chris moves well around the basket and, when he's afforded some room, tends to appear more comfortable. He needs to learn to do it in a more crowded frontcourt.
The Clippers' team defense really starts to break down when the Pistons' starters return in the second. Livingston and Maggette get crossed up on an off-ball switch, yielding a wide-open Rip Hamilton three. While the ball is into McDyess down low, Hamilton runs a perfect screen for Wallace to pop out, leaving Kaman and Shaun completely confused. Under the basket, Prince inbounds it to Webber out on the right wing, who immediately zips it back to Prince for an easy dunk, as Corey falls asleep --- somehow thinking that he's more helpful doubling Webber (with Thomas) 17 feet from the basket, than taking Prince underneath. The Clippers spend most of the second half running into Piston screens. I know that Detroit isn't an exciting team to watch in the PHX sense, but they do so many things well on the court that it's hard not to derive pleasure from their perfectly executed sets. They get so, so much out of what's basically an average roster.
[1] Which makes sense, because there's absolutely nobody on the Pistons that a Clipper guard can post up. Mobley tries against Delfino in the second quarter, but even that doesn't yield much. Maggette, too, tries Delfino later in the half, to no avail.
[2] Five of Corey's 10 attempts were jumpers from beyond 17 feet, as were two of his three FGMs.
[3] If Corey could proficiently pass the ball out, it would make for a crisper series, but that conversation is tiresome. His game is his game.
[4] Given Flip and the fact that we all knew coming in that the Clips would have to rely on penetration, I thought we'd see the zone as the Pistons' default mode defensively. That wasn't entirely the case.

(ii) Require a parent or caretaker receiving assistance under the program to engage in work (as defined by the State) once the State determines the parent or caretaker is ready to engage in work, or once the parent or caretaker has received assistance under the program for 24 months (whether or not consecutive), whichever is earlier, consistent with section 607 (e)(2) of this title.
(iii) Ensure that parents and caretakers receiving assistance under the program engage in work activities in accordance with section 607 of this title.

(vi) Conduct a program, designed to reach State and local law enforcement officials, the education system, and relevant counseling services, that provides education and training on the problem of statutory rape so that teenage pregnancy prevention programs may be expanded in scope to include men.
(vii) Implement policies and procedures as necessary to prevent access to assistance provided under the State program funded under this part through any electronic fund transaction in an automated teller machine or point-of-sale device located in a place described in section 608 (a)(12) of this title, including a plan to ensure that recipients of the assistance have adequate access to their cash assistance.
(viii) Ensure that recipients of assistance provided under the State program funded under this part have access to using or withdrawing assistance with minimal fees or charges, including an opportunity to access assistance with no fee or charges, and are provided information on applicable fees and surcharges that apply to electronic fund transactions involving the assistance, and that such information is made publicly available.
(B) Special provisions
(i) The document shall indicate whether the State intends to treat families moving into the State from another State differently than other families under the program, and if so, how the State intends to treat such families under the program.
(ii) The document shall indicate whether the State intends to provide assistance under the program to individuals who are not citizens of the United States, and if so, shall include an overview of such assistance.
(iii) The document shall set forth objective criteria for the delivery of benefits and the determination of eligibility and for fair and equitable treatment, including an explanation of how the State will provide opportunities for recipients who have been adversely affected to be heard in a State administrative or appeal process.
(iv) Not later than 1 year after August 22, 1996, unless the chief executive officer of the State opts out of this provision by notifying the Secretary, a State shall, consistent with the exception provided in section 607 (e)(2) of this title, require a parent or caretaker receiving assistance under the program who, after receiving such assistance for 2 months is not exempt from work requirements and is not engaged in work, as determined under section 607 (c) of this title, to participate in community service employment, with minimum hours per week and tasks to be determined by the State.
(v) The document shall indicate whether the State intends to assist individuals to train for, seek, and maintain employment—
(I) providing direct care in a long-term care facility (as such terms are defined under section 1397j of this title); or
(II) in other occupations related to elder care determined appropriate by the State for which the State identifies an unmet need for service personnel,
and, if so, shall include an overview of such assistance.
(2) Certification that the State will operate a child support enforcement program
A certification by the chief executive officer of the State that, during the fiscal year, the State will operate a child support enforcement program under the State plan approved under part D of this subchapter.
(3) Certification that the State will operate a foster care and adoption assistance program
A certification by the chief executive officer of the State that, during the fiscal year, the State will operate a foster care and adoption assistance program under the State plan approved under part E of this subchapter, and that the State will take such actions as are necessary to ensure that children receiving assistance under such part are eligible for medical assistance under the State plan under subchapter XIX of this chapter.
(4) Certification of the administration of the program
A certification by the chief executive officer of the State specifying which State agency or agencies will administer and supervise the program referred to in paragraph (1) for the fiscal year, which shall include assurances that local governments and private sector organizations—

(i) screen and identify individuals receiving assistance under this part with a history of domestic violence while maintaining the confidentiality of such individuals;
(iii) waive, pursuant to a determination of good cause, other program requirements such as time limits (for so long as necessary) for individuals receiving assistance, residency requirements, child support cooperation requirements, and family cap provisions, in cases where compliance with such requirements would make it more difficult for individuals receiving assistance under this part to escape domestic violence or unfairly penalize such individuals who are or have been victimized by such violence, or individuals who are at risk of further domestic violence.
(B) "Domestic violence" defined
For purposes of this paragraph, the term "domestic violence" has the same meaning as the term "battered or subjected to extreme cruelty", as defined in section 608 (a)(7)(C)(iii) of this title.

Founded by seamstress Margarethe Steiff in 1880, Steiff has been making stuffed teddy bears since the early 20th century ever since her nephew Richard Steiff exhibited the first commercially produced teddy bear in Europe in 1903. Teddy bears are among the most popular children's toys and the company is hoping for a strong Christmas season. (Photo by Thomas Niedermueller/Getty Images)

12 U.S. Code § 4113 - Assistance for displaced tenants
(a) Section 1437f assistance
Each low-income family that is displaced as a result of the prepayment of the mortgage or voluntary termination of an insurance contract on eligible low income housing shall, subject to the availability or [1] amounts provided under appropriations Acts, receive tenant-based assistance under section 1437f of title 42. To the extent sufficient amounts are made available under appropriations Acts, in each fiscal year the Secretary shall reserve from amounts made available under section 4124 (a) of this title or, if necessary, under section 1437c (c) of title 42, such amounts as the Secretary determines are necessary to provide assistance payments for low-income families displaced during the fiscal year.
(b) Relocation assistance
The Secretary shall coordinate with public housing agencies to ensure that any very low- or low-income family displaced from eligible low-income housing as the result of the prepayment of the mortgage (or termination of the mortgage insurance contract) on such housing is able to acquire a suitable, affordable dwelling unit in the area of the housing from which the family is displaced. The Secretary shall require the owner of such housing to pay 50 percent of the moving expenses of each family relocated, except that such percentage shall be increased to the extent that State or local law of general applicability requires a higher payment by the owner.
(c) Continued occupancy
(1) In general
Each owner that prepays the mortgage (or terminates the mortgage insurance contract) on eligible low-income housing shall, as provided in paragraph (3), allow the tenants occupying units in such housing on the date of the submission of notice of intent under section 4102 of this title to remain in the housing for a period of 3 years, at rent levels (except for increases necessary for increased operating costs) existing at the time of prepayment.
(2) Provision of assistance by owner
In any case in which the Secretary requires an owner to allow tenants to occupy units under paragraph (1), an owner may fulfill the requirements of such paragraph by providing such assistance necessary for the tenant to rent a decent, safe, and sanitary unit in another project for the same period and at a rental cost to the tenant not in excess of the rental amount the tenant would have been required to pay in the housing of the owner, except that the tenant must freely agree to waive the right to occupy the unit in the owner's housing.
(3) Applicability to low-vacancy areas and special needs tenants
The provisions of this subsection shall apply only to—
(A) eligible low income housing located in a low-vacancy area (as such term is defined by the Secretary); and
(d) Required acceptance of section 1437f assistance
An owner who prepays the mortgage (or terminates the mortgage insurance contract) on eligible low-income housing and maintains the housing for residential rental occupancy may not refuse to rent, refuse to negotiate for the rental of, or otherwise make unavailable or deny the rent of a dwelling unit in such property to any person, or discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of rental of a dwelling (or in the provision of services or facilities in connection therewith), because the person receives assistance under section 1437f of title 42.
(e) Regional pools
In providing assistance under this section, the Secretary shall allocate the assistance on a regional basis through the regional offices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Secretary shall allocate assistance under this section in a manner so that the total number of assisted units in each such region available for occupancy by, and affordable to, lower income families and persons does not decrease because of the prepayment or payment of a mortgage on eligible low-income housing or the termination of an insurance contract on such housing.
(f) Enhanced voucher assistance for certain tenants

Tooth decay is the disease known as caries or cavities, which is the destruction of your tooth enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth. Tooth decay is a highly preventable disease caused by bacteria with many contributing factors.
The answer is that everyone who has teeth is at risk for tooth decay. We all host bacteria in our mouths which makes everyone a potential target for cavities. Risk factors that put a person at a higher risk for tooth decay include:
A diet high in sweets, carbohydrates, and sugars
Living in communities with limited or no fluoridated water supplies
Poor oral hygiene
Reduced salivary flow
Being a child
Being an older adult
Preventing tooth decay and cavities involves five simple steps:
Brush your teeth and tongue twice a day, for 4 to 5 minutes at a time, with a fluoridated toothpaste.
Brushing with fluoride toothpaste should begin when a child gets his or her first tooth. Use only a very small amount, about the size of a grain of rice.
Floss your teeth daily.
Eat a well-balanced diet and limit or eliminate sugary snacks.
Consult your health care provider or dentist regarding the supplemental use of fluoride and/or dental sealants to protect family members' teeth through the age of 16.
Ask about fluoride varnish, which can be applied to teeth every 3 to 6 months.
Schedule routine (every 6 months) dental cleanings and exams for yourself and your family.
