This is remarkably close to what happened out here in Arkansas last year. Glad they caught the perp anyway.
Yeah! I remember hearing something about a man hiring a local pilot so he could take photos of his property from the air and he caught some people breaking and entering into his home.
I thought I remembered something similar to this!
It was, identical except different locale
Hey, I got a question for you. Are A-380's flying into DFW yet?
No, Not that I know of, Just Houston.
tks, Wayne
Sorry Mr. Wayno! didnt see this Q till just now. biggest/longest from or to DFW is the Quantas 74-4 to Brisbane every evening..... and the Cathay 74-8 when it shows up......that 74-8 is one looooong looking sheba!
Airborne Neighborhood watch strikes again!
Or as Mr. Zehntner says, NIMBY!
It would've been hard to resist a highway landing in front of the trailer thief..
lol. but it was probably nice to watch the sheriff get him too. I wonder if they made him take the trailer back to where he got it.lol
Too bad those planes don't have 20mm guns on them.LOL..
Ok everybody,relax. It's a JOKE
Interesting story, but the word is not "tracts," rather "tracks."
Sorry for the poor grammar. I was on my I-Pad and it auto-corrected the text and I didn't catch it. Modern technology makes us smarter doesn't it :-)
It "ain't" the grammar. It's the assumptions built into the predictive algorithms of the spell check subroutines in the ipad.

Eye in the sky
You know what is gonna happen now is that every private pilot and his cousin are going to buzz their homes 24/7 to check is there are any intruders resulting in absolute chaos prompting desperate calls to 911 and the FAA and the FBI and what not for fear that unidentified planes are swooping dangerously close to ground, just wait (LOL!!!)
I hope they catch them.
The sad thing is -- this guy will probably lose his license for a while..... (Or, if the stars align and the FSDO is kind and gentle, maybe the enforcement decision tool will yield a result like a little counseling and a slap on the wrist? Fingers are crossed.
Though to the lay man, everything he did seemed to be pretty reasonable for a homeowner watching someone stealing from his home, unless he can prove he was in the process of landing or taking off, which he pretty much publicly stated he wasn't (he admitted that he buzzed his house at 300 feet and there was no airport nearby), this poor guy admitted to the whole world he violated FAR 91.119, particularly sections (a) and either (b) or (c), Minimum Safe Altitudes. And, of course, don't forget the ubiquitous 91.13, Careless and Reckless.....
§ 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.
Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following altitudes:
(a) Anywhere. An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.
(b) Over congested areas. Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
(c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
Yup, probably was a slow day at the local FSDO until they caught wind of this. Minimum altitudes, not in the vicinity of an airport, while not landing or taking off, 1000' minimum over any structures within a 2000' radius, etc., etc.
I can understand the thrill of the chase. I can fully understand a property owner catching someone in the act against their 'stuff'. However, rules are rules.
Now, presuming he was actually 300' AGL, and **if** the FAA decided to investigate/prosecute, it is up to them to determine what altitude the pilot was at and what FARs were broken.
What this pilot could have done, if he was really smart, if there was a low altitude bust he should have filed an ASRS and claimed that in the 'excitement of the chase', he might have descended below minimum altitudes, but as soon as the error was realized, he resumed correct altitudes. It was inadvertent, not planned, and corrected. So he could escape certificate actions if there were any in the works, although I suspect what would really happen is the FSDO will let this drop after a nice chat with a GA inspector.
Great thinking! Just in case he wasn't aware (and he wasn't!), I just called Mr. Zehntner and told him about the ASRS program. He'll be filing a form. We also chatted all about FAR 91.119 and reviewed his feelings that he was at all times in compliance with it. Reviewing a map of the area, he's got a pretty decent case.... We were glad to have chatted and he'll be glad to have the form in his back pocket, just in case....
Someone's thinking! The article indicate the infraction occurred on the 30th. He has 10 days.
I was not smart that he admit that! The FAA really has to open an investigation now. I can imagine some personal sympathy and perhaps a nod to extenuating circumstances and cooperation. Here's hoping he gets by with some additional training and review. Still, if there were some sort of failure at that height he'd not have had much time to evaluate options.
Maybe extenuating circumstances with 'hot pursuit while assisting local law enforcement' could mitigate.
It would have been simpler to have kept quiet. If no one files a complaint, perhaps the FAA won't learn of the infraction - officially, at least. If an investigation is opened, leniency is all that is left. The rule doesn't contemplate extenuating circumstances short of an emergency in the aircraft.
[This poster has been suspended.]
I saw no-where in the article where it said he was below 1000' above obstacles nor outside of gliding distance from an airport.
It's not in this article but in one of the other links posted here.

Florida pilot spots theft at his home from his airplane
The pilot, David Zehntner, was returning home to Glades County, Fla., on Sunday in his Cesna 182 and decided to fly over his home in LaBelle, when he noticed an unfamiliar truck in his driveway. Zehntner told WBBH he hovered over his home for nearly 10 minutes, watching a man try to break into his house.

Homeowner gets a bird's eye view of thief making away with his trailer
(CNN) -- A lot of things can go wrong in life that you can plan for, but some are just too far-fetched to bother with -- or so you'd think.
Just ask the man who stole a trailer from outside a Florida home, unconcerned about the small plane buzzing overhead.
Turns out the pilot of the single-engine Cessna was the home owner who just happened to be flying by when he spotted the theft in progress.

BOSTON (MarketWatch)—The folks responsible for picking the mutual funds for your 401(k) are apparently making the same dumb mistakes that average investors make—they're chasing hot funds, too.
And this could be a big problem according to a new report from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College (CRR).
Read How Do Employers' 401(k) Mutual Fund Selections Affect Performance?"
Here's the gist of the report.
There are two important decisions that have to be made with 401(k) plans. One, 401(k) plan administrators have to review and then select which mutual funds to offer employees, and two, workers then have to pick from that list which funds to invest in for retirement.
And what the researchers discovered is this: Employers select mutual funds that perform better than comparable, randomly selected funds, but worse than passive index funds; and participants don't add any value through their own decisions.
Big tax bills can devastate your retirement savings. MarketWatch's Robert Powell and Andrea Coombes talk about strategies to employ before and during retirement to lower your taxes.
Check out the new
MarketWatch Retirement
RetireMentors: In-the-trenches advice
Ways to boost Social Security payout
Retire here, not there: California
10 things your 401(k) plan won't tell you
In other words, plan administrators aren't doing a very good of selecting funds and that's not helping workers, who are already prone to making poor investment choices and decisions.
What's more, when replacing funds inside a 401(k), plan administrators tend to do the very same thing that plan participants do: They chase hot funds.
Now lest you think that plan administrators are no better than a monkey throwing darts at a wall full of mutual fund ticker symbols, the researchers did note that plan administrators are selecting funds that are better performers than a random set of funds.
And that's largely because the funds they select have lower fees than the random set. "Lower fees, by definition, improve returns by leaving more money in the investor's account," the researchers wrote.
Still, plan administrators could do a better job of helping their workers save for retirement by picking better funds. In fact, the researchers suggested that plan administrators ought to consider selecting passive funds rather than active options for their 401(k) plan, and that by doing so the overall performance of the funds in their plan would be improved.
What say the experts in response to the CRR's research report? What might plan administrators and plan participants do or not do because of the findings?
Lobby for passive funds
Since the study clearly concludes that "lower investment fees are a large part of the explanation for the superior performance of the employer selections," Rick Meigs, the president of 401khelpcenter.com, said, employees should be lobbying their employer for a selection of low-cost index funds.
"Not only will the employee obtain lower-cost funds, but they eliminate the mistake of chasing rates of return which often happens with a selection of actively managed funds," Meigs said. "If the plan already has passive options, employees should use them."

We Are Not Insidious Villians!
This treatment he's doling out comes from the fact that he has demonized me. I no longer matter to him. I'm an evil doer. This is the exact same attitude Christians in the past had toward heretics, but unlike today they had the political power and could beat and torture and burn them alive. I'm just glad he is somewhat more civil and/or doesn't have that kind of political power.
An anonymous poster has asked me this: What I don't understand is, if the christian religion isn't true as athiests believe, then why don't they just leave it at that? Why do they spend their time trying to prove us wrong? We don't try to prove the existense of our god we simply know he is there.
Team members on this Blog have different motivations for being here, and I'm trying to construct something we can mostly agree on as to why: Our Policy Here.
In the first place, some Christians do in fact shove it down our throats. They personally attack us, call us names, and they would want to marginalize us if they could. My antagonist above said to me that I'm a "low life," and he treats me like one. So I argue back that I am the exact same person he would've previously admired as a minister, minus the specific set of Christian beliefs he still accepts.
In the second place, I'm still testing my beliefs...maybe I'm wrong? But I no more think I'm wrong than Christians do. Still, I'm testing.
I'm an educator. I'm a teacher and I like to teach. So here on this Blog I'm teaching what I have come to believe. I'm against ignorance (in the sense of "not knowing"), because I believe ignorance leads to harmful behavior in varying degrees.
Some ex-Christians feel like they were duped and that they wasted a number of years of their lives on Christianity, and so they argue against it. What's wrong with this motivation, anyway? Although, this is not me.
Other ex-Christians feel they were abused by Christians and/or the Christian faith for various reasons. Although this is not me.
There are other reasons, and I'd like to hear them from others. In the previous post, Matthew posted his reasons.
Listen to Robert W. Funk and Robert M. Price's motivations:
Robert W. Funk in his book, Honest to Jesus (p. 19) wrote: "As I look around me, I am distressed by those who are enslaved by a Christ imposed upon them by a narrow and rigid legacy. There are millions of Americans who are the victims of a mythical Jesus conjured up by modern evangelists to whip their followers into a frenzy of guilt and remorse—and cash contributions. I agonize over their slavery in contrast to my freedom. I have a residual hankering to free my fellow human beings from this bondage. Liberation from fear and ignorance is always a worthy cause. In the last analysis, however, it is because I occasionally glimpse an unknown Jesus lurking in and behind Christian legend and piety that I persist in my efforts to find my way through the mythical and legendary debris of the Christian tradition. And it is the lure of this glimpse that I detect in other questers and that I share with them."
Robert M. Price: "We are viewed as insidious villains seeking to undermine the belief of the faithful, trying to push them off the heavenly path and into Satan's arms. But this is not how we view ourselves at all. We find ourselves entering the field as the champions and zealots for a straightforward and accurate understanding of the Bible as an ancient text. In our opinion, it is the fundamentalist, the apologist for Christian supernaturalism, who is propagating false and misleading views of the Bible among the general populace. We are not content to know better and to shake our heads at the foolishness of the untutored masses. We want the Bible to be appreciated for what it is, not for what it is not. And it is not a supernatural oracle book filled with infallible dogmas and wild tales that must be believed at the risk of eternal peril." [The Empty Tomb: Jesus Beyond the Grave (Prometheus, 2005), p. 15].

Fishing regulators in New England are sharply limiting the amount of cod fishermen can bring in.
The New England Fishery Management Council today approved a year-to-year cut of 77 percent on the limit for Gulf of Maine cod, and 61 percent for Georges Bank cod.
Regulators say the new restrictions are necessary to help the cod population rebound. But fishermen say the cuts will make it nearly impossible for them to make a living.
Ben Martens represents small boat fishermen in Maine. He says cuts are a necessary evil, but wonders if these have gone too far.
"It's better than shutting down the entire Gulf of Maine to commercial fishing," Martens says. "But it's still a dramatic decrease from what we had this year. And a really scary place for commercial fishermen."
The new catch limits will be in place for the next three years. Regulators are also considering dramatic cuts in catch limits for other types of fish.
The Northeast's top federal fisheries regulator, John Bullard, acknowledged that the cuts will be devastating. He said stocks are in perilous condition and the cuts are needed to help stocks rebound and preserve any future for the groundfishery.
This story includes reporting by Samantha Fields and Tom Porter, along with material from The Associated Press.

I am making a simple beef stock from the leftover bones from a New York cut roast beef. Beyond adding a mirepoix and boiling the bones for three hours I'm not doing anything special. When I make stock I typically throw out the leftover meat and vegetables, but do I have to throwout the leftover beef? Aside from the beef I have boiled off the bones I do not have a lot of leftover meat and do not want to potentially waste what could be useable meat.
Taste the meat and if it still seems edible to you then there is no reason to throw it out.
When I make stock, I keep it on a simmer for much longer than three hours and any meat is completely tasteless by the time I'm done. Three hours, however, is about how long you would cook meat to make a stew, so it's quite possible that you could eat it.
On the other hand, not all cuts of meat stew well and I'm not familiar with this cut. If the meat has plenty of connective tissues (i.e. collagen) to gelatinise it shouldn't dry out too much. But the proof is in the pudding: taste it.
I never throw it out. There are plenty of applications for mostly-tasteless meat shreds.
I mostly make chicken stock but I will use the meat shreds in soup, pot pie, casseroles, etc.
With a strongly-flavored sauce, you won't mind the meat not having much flavor. The protein value of the meat is still intact, so it is worth using it up to stretch the family food budget. Curries are a good use for soup meat, and as Sobachatina said, pot pie. I make a thick onion gravy as a pot pie base and that makes even the most tasteless soup meat go down very nicely. Enchiladas are a favorite use in our house for leftover meat from broth-making.
Here is a simple enchilada sauce you can make with ingredients from your pantry that is way better than canned sauce:
Mix half the sauce with your leftover meat. Use 1/4 of the remaining sauce to wet the bottom of a casserole dish. Fill or layer warmed corn tortillas with the meat/sauce mix and use the last of the sauce to top the enchiladas. sprinkle grated cheese if desired. Warm in a 350* oven until the enchiladas are fragrant and just starting to color on top.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Buffalo Bishop Richard Malone has appointed Sister Carol Cimino as new Superintendent of Catholic schools for the Diocese of Buffalo, the bishop announced in a statement Saturday.
The diocese says Sister Cimino will officially assume the role on June 1st.
Cimino is a native of Rochester and previously served in several Catholic schools: she was assistant principal and director of development at Nazareth Academy, principal at St. Anthony's School and assistant principal at St. Agnes High School.
Sister Cimino has been executive director of Catholic School Administrators Association of New York since 1987.
According to the diocese, Cimino taught Latin, economics and American government at St. Andrew's Minor Seminary (King's Preparatory).
Sister Cimino will be introduced at the "Making a Difference Dinner - A Celebration of Catholic Schools" held at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center January 31st.
The diocese says Sister Carol Cimino will make a number of visits to Buffalo prior to her official start date. Cimino succeeds Dr. Rosemary Henry, who resigned in September 2012 to pursue a teaching opportunity in Ecuador.
More information on Catholic schools in the Diocese of Buffalo can be found on their website.

In the noisy approach to November's presidential election, politics has elbowed its way to the front of seemingly every discussion. In fact, politics has always played a key role, if quiet one, in the ski industry, especially for those 136 ski areas sitting at least partly on U.S. Forest Service land. With the U.S. government as a landlord, those resorts routinely work closely with the Forest Service on a range of concerns. Of course, the politics of skiing doesn't end there.
More than three decades ago, skiing was ripe for a change in the way the sport was taught. Amid a new wave of research in psychology and neurology that supported a holistic approach to how people learn, ski instructors were still shouting orders to tense skiers about the placement of their knees and shoulders.
The first thing people mention when they talk about St. Anton is the rowdy après-ski scene. "Rowdy in Austria's top ski resort means spending three to six hours with 1,000 of your fellow skiers at a standing-room-only outdoor bar that's not quite at the bottom of the mountain, tossing back Austrian beer followed by fruity schnapps while singing loudly to thumping Euro disco hits. While it's true that this is a signature St.

In addition to myself, we now have two other pilots on the New Zealand team going to Spain, this will be one of the first full F3C teams that New Zealand has had. John Knox (JR Sylphide) competed in the 1991 World Champs held in Australia and Aaron Williams (Kyosho Caliber) has attended the last two World Champs (US and Japan). Aaron is going to act as our team manager as he is very familiar with how things are during the World Champs.
I'm pretty exicted about all of this as both John, Aaron and myself have competed strongly against each other and are fairly evenly matched. It will be great to go as a full team as well!
I would be lying if I said I hadn't been wondering what the organisers of this year's Worlds were up to. For months now there has been nothing at all on the official website, and we're just on six months out from the start of the competition. I know I wasn't the only one starting to wonder what the story was!
However, in the last week or so, the organisers have issued another bulletin providing us with more information and actual entry forms so things look like they're back on track.
Since my last article, I've acquired another Sylphide so I'm pretty much setup in terms of hardware now. However, the ideal setup still alludes me. Although the new helicopter is nearly identical to my existing one it flew a whole lot better. The differences is that the new one is wrapped in a Staysee fuselage, a YS 91 and it has the stock standard paddles on it. The existing one is pod and boom, has an OS 91 PS and has Funtech 45 gram paddles.
The newer Sylphide seemed to hover better and definately seemed to have more vertical penetration in aerobatics. For example, when hovering tail into the wind, the helicopter would roll off and move forward, yet nose into the wind, it was fine. During the loops, it would run out of momentum too quickly and it was difficult to do nice, large maneuvers. Why??? Can't have been the engine cause while the engine wasn't in full peak condition, it still had more than enough power to do the aeros properly. Can't have been the Staysee body cause it was flying just as good without it. Could it be the paddles?
It turns out it was. I swapped the Funtech paddles with the stock Sylphide ones and immediately the machine began to climb vertically again and also didn't load up the engine as much during the loops.
I've been keeping the newer Sylphide as a 'control' machine. It's the one that's flying the best at the moment, so I'm not touching it. I'm doing all the modifications on the old one. I modify the old one, test fly it, then fly it back to back against the new one to see if my mods have made a difference. Most of the the time they don't, but sometimes…
The new Sylphide had it's auto hub lock up and I'm just waiting on parts to get that assembled and back in the air again.
This week I've sent my Futaba 9Z back to Japan for a full inspection and service. I noticed that both gymbals had hairline cracks in them so I wanted these replaced and a full service undertaken. After over two years of impeccable service, I wanted to get it checked out.
My comments regarding my impressions of the OS 91 PS in my last article drew a lot of sympathetic emails from fellow pilots experiencing the same issues I'd been encountering.
In my last article I'd also mentioned that Steve Helms from the United States was sending me a new needle valve to test to see if that made a difference. I'm glad to say it made the difference between night and day. With the GV-1 engaged I had no lean spots during loops or rolls. I could finally lean the top out to where it should be and get power, without having to sacrifice the mid range. Pretty much everyone at the field noticed the difference.
Another improvement I made was to remove the Viperhead, and put the standard OS PS head back on, but this time with three 0.008 thou shims. This made the engine very smooth. While I know many people have seen great things out of the Viperhead, I have to say I haven't really noticed an improvement over the standard head. Could perhaps be the fuel I'm running, I'm not sure.
However, as one Sylphide has an OS and the other has a YS 91 ST4, I decided I wanted to run two engines the same so I had to make a call as to which one to keep. The YS in the new Sylphide has always impressed me, it's been smooth out of the box and never given any trouble. The OS on the other hand has been difficult at times. I've therefore decided to go with the YS in both machines.
The question is now, stay with the Funtech muffler or try a Hatori SB-16?
The second Sylphide arrived in a beautiful Funtech Staysee fuselage. I can't say enough about the quality of this fuselage, the fibreglass work and the paint work are highly impressive. The weight is also very low. The fuse is mounted to the machine via rubber isolation mounts. It's a beautiful looking machine and it sounds so very quiet. Especially on a Sylphide which is inherently quiet anyway.
While it all looks pretty and everything, how easy is it to live with, THAT'S the question… I've flown one competition with the Staysee and while it did well, I wasn't really thrilled with the way it did aerobatics. It seemed a lot more sensitive to elevator. Mick Warren, one of the Australian F3C team pilots has a Staysee on one of his Calibers and said he noticed exactly the same thing when he first got it. He put it down to the large horiztonal fin which I can believe.
There's also the issue of ease of maintenance. Taking the front of the body off to check or work on the mechanics isn't an easy task, so changing glow plugs can be a problem.
Then there's the issue of transporting the machines with fuses on. That means they can't be broken down to fit in a Curtis case, I'd have to get cases custom made for them, then there's the cost of shipping said cases…..
Can I really be stuffed with all that?
However, you got to balance all this out with the fact that nearly everyone else at the Worlds will be using a fuse and at a competition like this, every little bit counts!
God knows what I'll do yet, I haven't decided, however I can feel myself just going pod and boom, it's so much easier!
Unfortunately the practise hasn't been as much as I'd like lately. Been playing with the Vigor just a bit too much doing 3D, however now that the events that required the use of the Vigor are pretty much coming to an end, the F3C practise is ramping up.
Certainly now I've got the YS installed and running well, the aerobatics are coming along much better. As always, I need to work on maintaining my flightline and not letting the helicopter move in or out during the aerobatic passes.
I'm still finding the double loops to be the hardest maneuver to pull off consistently every time. This might sound a bit crazy to non-F3C pilots, but doing two loops, superimposed, in the center of the flightline trying to maintain consistent speed and altitude is damn hard!
Another maneuver I've really struggled to come to terms with on the Sylphide is the autorotation. The Sylphide seems to fool you in it's descent. It can look like it's just drifting down going not too fast, then all of a sudden it's on you and you pretty much have to tail stand it to get it in the circle which is just plain ugly.
Now, I start flaring the thing from WAAAAYYYY out in the turn. Honestly, it feels like the machine should have retractable flaps on it that can spring out and wash some of the speed off! I've never had this kind of thing with either the Vigor or the Sylphide. My auto curve is -8 to 11.5 and I use every degree of that negative pitch to bring it down!
I've been experimenting with different headspeeds in the hover to see what works best. Currently I've got it running at 1500rpm in the hover, which I think is as high as I'd want to go. The blades seem quite sensitive to pitch at that speed so I might drop it back to 1480 or so. The YS seems really happy at 1500 and sounds just great.
Perhaps the maneuver that I really struggle with in the whole schedule is the nose in tail in figure eight. The part I find hard is hitting the far cones each time. Most often, I'm too far out. It's a depth perception thing.
Andrew Donaldson, one of the pilots on the Australian team is a member of my club and we've been practising together. One flies while the other comments which has been working great. I think it's just about pointless now to try and practise by yourself, for the hovering at least. Often what looks over the flag from the pilot's perspective is nothing like it from the judges point of view. It helps to have a helper!
One thing that we're working to acquire is a new invention by Mike Goza from the US. Mike is the US F3C Team Manager and has developed a sensor system that attaches to the top of the flags on the square, and another that attaches to the bottom of the helicopter. If the two sensors line up, a loud beeping sound is emitted from the sensors to let you know you're on target. Hopefully we'll have this ordered and in use in the next couple of weeks.
The plan now is to get another YS ST4 for the Staysee Sylphide and run that in. I want to test a Hatori SB-16 to see if that will give me more top end power cause my gut feeling is the Funtech is slightly choking it on the top end.
I'd also like to experiment with trying the Hi-Products 700's as well. I think that the increased aerobatic capability could come in useful. Whether or not this comes at the expense of hovering stability, I'll have to assess.
Shortly, I'm going to need to get the canopies painted up in the colours I've used on the Vigor and the Tempest. I'm still trying to work out the best way of applying that paint scheme to the Sylphide. I might even hold a competition to see who can come up with the best scheme yet :).

Product Test: Doggy Valentine
We bought the Bone Appetit Dog Valentine Treat at Target for $4.99. You get two in a package.
You can send them to your pooch or surprise a friend or family member, like we did. We sent one to John Beard for his little lady, Gracie.
It is totally edible and made from rawhide. Gracie liked it and spent the next hour or so eating it up. It is a cute idea and our tester loved it. Absolutely worth two thumbs up.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
What better place to break out your favorite Breton stripe than at the airport? Huntington-Whiteley's Alexander Wang top was the perfect complement to her Burberry hat, Brian Atwood boots, Saint Laurent Classic Duffle Bag ($1990), The Row Motorcycle Pants ($1950), and Chanel sunglasses.

Christina Caradona of Trop Rouge
We just can't get enough of Christina Caradona of Trop Rouge's style (did you see her behind-the-scenes at BCBG on our blog?).

Julie Sarinana of Sincerely Jules
Who said a striped shirt has to be black and white? Not us. Julie Sarinana of Sincerely Jules exhibited just this when she stepped out wearing a T by Alexander Wang Stripe Torquing Sweater ($106). She chose to pair it with 3.1 Phillip Lim Leather Jodhpur Pants ($1430), Vincent Ankle Strap Mules ($525), and the Ryder Calf Hair & Leather Satchel ($1095) — excellent pairings, indeed.

Olivia Palermo
How Palermo managed to wear stripes on stripes and come out not looking like an inmate is beyond us. Nevertheless, we adore her Tibi jacket paired with the covetable Louis Vuitton Sofia Coppola satchel, YOiM furfur shoes, and AG Adriano Goldschmied Leggings ($215).

Ella Catliff
We love a downtown ladylike version of just about anything, and the striped shirt is no exception! Catliff stepped out in Paris in a French Connection Tim Tim Striped Raglan T-Shirt ($48), textured Sandro jacket, 3.1 Phillip Lim bag, and Kurt Geiger flats.

Lisa Dengler of Just Another Fashion Blog
There are few things we admire more than an (almost) all-black outfit combined with a couple strategic standout pieces. Case in point: Lisa Dengler of Just Another Fashion Blog. She combined an H&M Trend peacoat with Zara jeans, Office London shoes, a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, and an Otte New York Alexis Hat ($125). She selected a Callixto necklace and Cos stripe tee as her standout pieces.

Rose Byrne
The always-stylish Aussie made an appearance at the Labyrinth Theater Company's benefit gala in New York City last month in this fall-appropriate ensemble. We love the contrast between her striped shirt and that bold, mustard coat!

Blair Eadie of Atlantic Pacific
Sadly, the Who What Wear staff hasn't had the opportunity to break out their rain gear yet, but if you're in a region that has full-fledged weather, please take note of this look, courtesy of Blair Eadie of Atlantic Pacific. She wore her Ann Taylor Striped Long Sleeve Tee ($69) over a Denim and Supply cargo skirt. She accessorized with Karen Walker Super Duper Sunglasses ($280), a Cuyana Leather Tall Tote ($150), and, of course, her Rag & Bone X Hunter Tall Boots ($295).
- 11 of 24
Andy Torres of Style Scrapbook
In need of a new weekend errands look? Well, we think this will do quite nicely. Style Scrapbook's Andy Torres wore an American Apparel t-shirt with a Mango trench coat, Jose Sanchez leather pants, a Givenchy bag, and Dr Martens boots. She threw in a Kenzo Silver-Laquer Tiger Bracelet ($214) for a touch of fun, too!
- 12 of 24
Miranda Kerr
We love how the model let her Velvet by Graham & Spencer Pearl Stripe Sweater ($74) steal the spotlight and kept the rest of her ensemble in a neutral hue. She accessorized with Isabel Marant boots, a Louis Vuitton bag, and Oliver Peoples Benedict Aviator Sunglasses ($400). That insanely cool coat, you ask? It's Rag & Bone's Turner Coat ($1395).
- 13 of 24
Street Style
Mixing multiple colors in one look can be challenging, but also delightfully rewarding when done well. We love how this off-duty model chose different shades of brown and grounded them with a black and white striped shirt and black oxfords.

PROVIDENCE – When Kyan Anderson and Markus Crider signed on with Providence College, each player was under the premise that Keno Davis would be coaching them.
Now that Davis is out of the picture and Ed Cooley is at the helm, the status of the Friars' recruiting class for next season presently resembles that of one foot in the door, one foot out. The respective high school coaches for Anderson and Crider acknowledged that neither one has asked PC to release them from their signed letters-of-intent, though things should become clearer once they have a chance to make contact with Cooley, possibly in the coming days.
"Kyan signed with Providence, but you want to have that relationship in place with the staff that's there. He committed to the college, not to a particular staff. Then again, when you're making decisions like that, you want to feel comfortable in all aspects of it," said Tommy Brakel, Anderson's coach at North Crowley High in Fort Worth, Texas. "It's just not basketball. It's just not your education. It's a huge part of your life because it's where you're going to live for the next 4-5 years, a lot of times the rest of your life. You want all of those things to blend and fit together."
Colleges and universities are not above relinquishing a recruit from their commitment upon changing coaches. Sometimes, though, things work out and the new coach is able to convince the recruit that everything will be fine. When Davis came aboard three years ago, he inherited Bilal Dixon, recruited by Tim Welsh and his staff.
"Fortunately I've never had a situation where a kid has committed and the coach is fired or left, but ultimately they do commit to the school. At the same time Markus had built a relationship with (assistant coach) Chris Davis and Keno Davis. He appreciated the way they handled him and what not," said Travis Trice, Crider's coach at Wayne High in Huber Heights, Ohio. "He'll have to sit back with his family and it'll be something they have to re-evaluate and kind of go from there."
Anderson, a 5-foot-11 point guard, fought through an injury-plagued senior campaign after suffering a thumb injury that knocked him out for four weeks. Brakel reiterated that Anderson, who returned in time for the Panthers' playoff march, has been feeling fine and healthy for quite some time.
"He had some ligament damage, and for someone that's had the basketball in his hands for our team the last three years, and then to lose that, it was challenging for our team," said Brakel, noting that Anderson was part of a North Crowley outfit that during his tenure compiled a staggering 135-18 record. "He came back and finished the season strong. It's just that when you come back, it takes some time to get back in the groove."
Crider's situation figures to be a little clearer with Providence since the 6-foot-5 combo forward is familiar with Cooley, though on a limited basis.
"Bob Simon (an assistant under Cooley at Fairfield) recruited one of our kids last year, so Markus was able to get an opportunity to know (the staff)," mentioned Trice. "I know Markus is pretty excited that at least somebody he knew got the job. He shot me a message as soon as heard and said that (Cooley's hiring) was a good thing."
Asked when to expect a definitive answer regarding Crider's status, Trice replied, "I'm sure coach Cooley has a million things to take care of at the moment, but I'm sure he'll get with me in the near future. He'll have to express to Markus that he wants him (at Providence) and that he fits (Cooley's) style and system. Once that conversation takes place, then both sides will know more about where they stand."
Speaking about the future of Anderson and Crider prior to having a coach in place, PC athletic director Bob Driscoll expressed that, "obviously they signed a letter-of-intent, so they committed to coming to the institution. My assumption is that they'll continue to come."
In news closer to home, PC officials confirmed Friday that Cooley has brought aboard Simon and Carmen Maciariello as assistant coaches. Simon was the associate head coach at Fairfield and thought to be a frontrunner to replace Cooley while Maciariello was one of two assistants the Stags employed. It's unclear what the pair's specific duties will be at Providence. Two other possibilities to round out Cooley's staff include Chris Driscoll, an assistant under Davis who at Cooley's introductory press conference on Wednesday voiced a strong desire to remain at Providence, and Abdul Abdullah, the former PC point guard and teammate of Cooley's at Central High. Currently Abdullah is an assistant at Brown.

CUMBERLAND — Throughout the 2012-13 winter campaign, then-Cumberland High sophomore Jack Bauer improved at a rapid rate, causing older brother Andrew to continue to hassle him about registering for a USA Swimming-affiliated club program.
Andrew, a phenomenal distance freestyler in his own right, had done the same, and he reasoned that Jack would only get faster, given the more grueling workouts.
Initially, the younger Bauer dismissed such talk, as he wanted to attempt to excel in other sports, namely basketball. Last September, however, he decided to take Andrew's advice and involved himself with Adirondack Aquatics of Franklin.
Under former Attleboro High phenom and Adirondack head coach Kyle Browning, Bauer almost immediately saw a difference in his speed.
At the annual Read/Watmough Invitational Swimming Championships held on Jan. 12 at the Roger Williams University natatorium, Bauer took fourth in the 100-yard butterfly with a stellar clocking of 55.74, then placed second in the 100-yard backstroke in 56.86.
Both times were quicker than the ones he had spun in the same two events at the R.I. Championships last February (56.17 in the 100 fly, where he finished fifth, and 57.64 in the 100 back, where he placed fourth).
Only two days after the Read/Wat-mough – during a Division I dual meet against talented Smithfield at Bryant University – he finished first in the 100 butterfly in a respectable 55.99, but then achieved a lifetime-best while claiming the backstroke in 56.77.
"I was really surprised by that time; the meet was so late (7 p.m. start time), and I was coming off a lot of hard practices with Adirondack, so I knew I was swimming tired," Bauer stated. "Actually, once I got out of the pool and talked to my coach (newcomer Kyle Black, who used to swim under legendary CHS mentor Bruce Calvert before graduating in 1998), he told me my time, and I was, like, 'What?'
"He must have repeated it four or five times; I didn't believe him," he added. "But I've been swimming really fast lately, and I've improved quite a bit. I started with Adirondack in September, once the school year started, and I'm noticing the difference.
"A lot of people were bugging me to take it more seriously, and to swim on the club level, but I loved basketball. Andrew (now a freshman freestyler at Worcester Polytechnic Institute) kept saying I had a lot of potential; he said, 'Man, you're going to get so much faster!' Finally, it sunk in.
"I liked what I did at states last year, and I thought I could build off that. I also wanted to improve my endurance. One of my problems in the backstroke was I'd take it out fast, but my second 50 was much slower. The same was true of the butterfly, where I'd fade the last 25.
"I just wanted to tighten up those 50 splits; I wanted them to be closer together."
Bauer offered one workout with Adirondack as being a catalyst for his time drops. Browning gave his older group a distance set of two 700-yard freestyles, one every nine minutes; then a pair of 500s, one every 6:30; then a trio of 300s, one every 3:30; and, finally, four 100s every 1:10.
The whole idea behind it was for the swimmers to decrease distance but increase speed in each of those subsets; it also helps each athlete to work on not only conditioning (early on in the total set) but also keeping each 50-yard split as even as possible).
Bauer admitted he thought that phase of the practice was over at that point, but Browning surprised them once more. He asked them to partake in more of a sprint-oriented set, which included one 300 on 3:30; two 200s on 2:20; three 100s, one every 1:05; then four 50s, one every 30 ticks.
During those 50s, Bauer would gain perhaps a second or two of rest before having to push off the wall for the next one.
"That was brutal," he laughed of the workout, one that totaled 4,900 yards, or well over two-and-a-half miles. "It was exhausting, but sets like that have helped so much. I was dying out there, but I kept thinking that all of it would help me in the long run. It has – and then some."
Bauer also has seen a difference in his relay splits. While swimming the 50-yard butterfly in the Clippers' 200 medley relay at the Read/Watmough, he mustered a split of 24.58.
As for his 100 time in the 400 freestyle relay, he came within a heartbeat of breaking 50 seconds for the first time in his career.
"I went 50.04, so getting to 49-whatever is one of my next goals," he said.
To be truthful, Bauer currently ranks in the top three in Rhode Island in both of his specialties, and is hell-bent on snaring his first state individual event crown on Feb. 23 at Brown; that's when the state championship meet will begin.
Still, he's pondering a change in his entry. He most probably will compete in the 100 backstroke, but may switch from the 100 butterfly to the 200 individual medley, just to mix things up and make it more interesting for him.
"I swam in the Bowdoin (Me.) Open meet (USA Swimming-affiliated), and I went 2:06 in the IM, but I think I can do better," he claimed. "I've been swimming more breaststroke (the third leg of the race) in practice, and I know my other strokes are good. I also believe the 100 fly would be more competitive, as there are more swimmers in it, so I'm considering doing the IM.
"I also know, if I place higher in that event, I can score more points for our team," he added.
He's not just an excellent aquaman, but a premier student, as he currently ranks third in his junior class at Cumberland High with a 3.92 GPA.
"He's a terrific kid, very smart," noted Clippers' head coach Black. "With swimming, he has such a cool, calm demeanor; he never gets too up or down. When he's standing behind the block (prior to racing), he's thinking. He doesn't get too amped up.
"At the Read/Watmough, though, when a relay was about to swim, that's when you saw a change. He was the one to round up (his fellow swimmers) and get them pumped up. He's much more vocal then, always cheering on his teammates.
"With the individual events, he's more quiet, more cerebral," he continued. "You can tell he has that knowledge of how to swim the race and the confidence to know he'll do well. He understands all the training he's done is only going to make him faster, and that it will pay off. You can tell he's thinking about the little things – the start, getting off the walls quickly, the butterfly kick underwater.
"You know he's thinking, 'How do I maximize these things to do the best I can?' He honestly doesn't seem to get nervous. He's got that calmness about him. When he gets to states, I think he's going to be right in the thick of it, and we will contend for a couple of state titles. If he doesn't, I know Jack; he's going to be really close."

We here at Channel 3 are continuing to bring you weight loss success stories from all Northeast Ohio.
Niki Wyles Kirven said her weight started to become an issue at the end of middle school and into high school. It was a problem she continued to struggle with for the next 15 years.
Until she decided to make a change early last year.
"My story starts back in January of 2012. I joined Weight Watchers. I weighed 325 pounds."
What was the deciding factor that madeKirven want to make a change?
"I was actually playing with my niece one day, she's a year-and-a-half old. I was chasing her around the house. She wanted me to run behind the recliner with her and I couldn't and she broke down and started crying and bawling her eyes out. It broke my heart. So from that minute on, I said I have to make a change -- it's going to be now."
In February of 2012, one month after she started her weight-loss journey,her boyfriend asked her to marry her.She had even more motivation to take off the weight.
"I wanted to be a beautiful bride!"
Two words: Mission accomplished.
"A year andnine months later, I'm down over 170 pounds so I actually lost more than I weigh! I really want to motivate anyone that is struggling with their weight to make a change -- no matter how small you think it is."
Kirven continues with her Weight Watchers meetings and leads a healthy, active lifestyle of running, working out and kickboxing. She gives a lot of credit to the gym she works out in.
She will also run her second half marathon in November and a full 26.2 mile marathon next year.
We would love to hear about your "Cleveland's Biggest Loser" weight loss success story.

I take what I said about Slaine back a little. It's as I supposed but not done in the way I thought it would be. That after credit scene was brutal and awesome.
My like for the other characters has also strengthened. I like that Inaho isn't all prozac'd out after all. I could take or leave his sister but I like her more now after seeing her conflicted about not being able to fight. This episode also made me like Calm and Inko more. I also dig the LT. And the Captain joining up was surprising. Which is a good sign: that they can pack that much character into such a short time. And yes, the princess is somehow still kind of badass. I'm not sure why I like her so much as she hasn't really done much.
