By RICHARD SHAWSports writer
Tuesday night I watched as the Stockton led Jazz beat Sacramento in the second game of the first round of the playoffs. It was amazing to see the 40 year old guard control the tempo of that game. His presence on the court makes all the difference to the Utah team, as it has most of his career. The only years it was not quite so apparent when he was not on the floor was in the two years they played the Bulls for the championship, when Howard Eisely would come in and "almost"take up the slack.
In a recent column in this paper Karen Basso proclaimed him the best point guard ever. While I can't exactly agree with her assessment of Stockton having been the best in history, I certainly think there is a case for that. I do think he has been the best at some things and he is certainly one of the top five of all time. But "best" is in how you measure it. What one sees as best, another doesn't.
What clues me into whether a player is great is how other players feel about him, particularly ones that faced them in rivalries. Naturally that brings us to Magic Johnson. He was one of the color analysts in the pre and post game shows that evening and you can see how much he admires Stockton. The feeling is mutual as one could tell by Stockton's comments after the game when he was reminded that Johnson had said such good things about him from the announcers podium.
"I'm just glad he's up in the booth and not on the floor anymore," stated the Utah guard.
Stockton's records in steals and assists certainly have to do with his longevity. I often hear people say "Well if Magic had been able to keep playing all his available years, Stockton never would have caught him." I also hear "When Jason Kidd is all done he will be the best" as well.
Those comments are filled with ifs and what ifs, not reality. If I had grown to be seven foot five and could shoot three pointers at an 80 percent clip I would be one of the best centers who ever played the game too. But instead I grew to less than 5'9" and was never very good at the sport.
But who knows, may I still have a growth spurt in me at age 50. Maybe I should just keep practicing those 30 footers.
Give me a break. We can't deal in that kind of stuff; we can only deal in reality. And the reality is that when Magic was at his prime, he was a better point guard than Stockton because he could rebound better (at 6'8" I hope so) and do everything else just as well or better than Stockton. I'll never forget the championship game against Philadelphia (who had Dr. J at the time) in 1980. Kareem Abdul Jabbar (whom I consider the best center ever to play the game and I'll probably get hell for that comment too) was injured and Magic played center for much of the contest. Stockton could never do that mainly because of his size.
On the other hand, no point guard has ever played the position as long as Stockton, and still been able to dominate a game like he does. I remember in the early 1970's that the emphasis pro teams in both the NBA and ABA had at the time was on getting big and bigger guys. Everyone thought that was the future of basketball.
It turned out, if you look at the game the way it is today, that the point guards are the ones who actually make or break teams, not 7-8 foot centers. Magic and particularly, Stockton were the ones who changed that belief.
Personally I can't pick between them because they both have been so great in so many ways. I just wish both of them could have played on the same team together.
The word "unbeatable" comes to mind when I think of that.

7 Best Lip Balms -- and the 5 Worst
You know how a great lip balm gets your lips smooth and soft instantly -- and a bad one takes forever to work (if it works at all)? Here's what to pick, and what to skip, for your softest lips ever
Why: The fact that Blistex made these lip balms just wasn't enough to impress readers, who expected more from a brand that specializes in lip care. One reader writes, "I purchased these because they were made by Blistex, so I expected some moisture! Lip Smackers are cheaper so save your money!" Another disappointed reader writes, "I tried all of them and at no point did my lips feel any type of relief from being chapped. It was just like I put a scented lip balm on that they make for kids in those crummy little cosmetic play sets."

The very best lip balm is Cocoa Butter Lip Balm by "Cococare! The cost is only $1.99 at any beauty supply store. It is rich and creamy and repaired my slightly dry lips over night... and I've tried all those mentioned above.

I might try the Rose Salve and Beecology based on this, but I'm very disappointed that Burt's Bees -- my staple -- isn't mentioned.

Wish I'd read this before ordering one of the balms on the worst list. I haven't received it yet. I'll have to let you know if I too think it's the worst

Video: Will Property Taxes Go Up in Erie County?
Video: Claudine Ewing Reports on Budget Vote
BUFFALO, NY-- Erie County Legislators voted tonight to amend the 3.4% property tax hike in County Executive Mark Poloncarz's 2013 budget.
A coalition made up of five Republicans and one Democrat, Tom Loughran from Amherst, have approved cuts to the county's risk retention fund, jail and Department of Public Works overtime and fringe benefits, and county personal services account.
They also cut $2 million from Safety Net Social Services Assistance program.
And, in a 6-5 vote, legislators also rejected funding for several cultural groups, including the African American Cultural Center. The only cultural group to more money in the Legislature's proposed budget is the Amherst Symphony Orchestra.
The only other additions to the budget are for a job in the comptroller's office, more overtime in the clerk's office, and more funding for a youth program called Operation Primetime.
Mark Poloncarz presented a budget that included a 3.4% property tax increase. However, six legislators put together an amendment to avert a tax increase. It cuts $8.5 million from the budget.
The cuts impact the County's Law department, the jail and the department of Social Services. The Control Board expressed concerns about the cuts, however they want to make sure the budget is balanced.
If that happens, Poloncarz told reporters, "not only will I be forced to veto every single addition the legislature has included," but there could be some harsh cuts, "there will be no sacred cows, everything will be on the table," he said.
Poloncarz said without a tax increase he may have to implement a hiring freeze.
It's estimated that a modified 4-year-financial plan for the county will now include a $34 million dollar budget gap. The Erie County Control Board is now in a soft or advisory status, but the result of this budget vote could change that.
"If the board looks at this and deems that the budget and plan aren't reasonable and doable that could invoke a control status," said Erie County Fiscal Stability Authority Executive Director Kenneth Vetter.

We've added a new page to the site, the Community Trophy Case!
Following every major Quake Live event, it has been out standard practice to issue Trophy Awards to the tournament winners and participants to bring recognition to both their hard work, dedication, skills, and contribution to the community. But until now these awards have unfortunately lurked hidden, buried on their profile page -- and chances are that if you are already on their profile page that you are already well aware of at least some of their achievements.
Buried no longer! Under the 'Community' tab on the main nav you will now find our prestigious trophies to cherish and treasure, a complete record of all the trophy awards earned and issued over the course of our past four years of competitive history.
Enjoy digging through medals of the past, we certainly look forward to adding more to the collection in our future.

Memorial Day Reflections
posted 5/26/2014
We're remembering all the fallen soldiers this Memorial Day. It's also a nice time to relax with friends and family and maybe some encased meats. Holidays in general make me pause and take stock – of my life, of time, of my world.
My daughter is only five months old, but warnings to savor this time come uninvited from both friends and strangers. "They'll be off to college in a blink." "The longest shortest time." I get the 'longest' part. In the middle of the night when she wakes up for another straight hour on the hour, those afternoons when we're circling the block again to not wake her.

I've been in London for the past few days, catching up with friends, going to exhibitions (The verdict on the Hollywood Costume exhibition in the V&A? Just go now, I'll wait here for you to come back), eating my weight in curries, tacos, dim sum and pancakes and drinking an equivalent amount of toasty mulled liquids. There's nothing you can't mull to make it that little bit tastier (bar Bovril, I suppose).
And sherry. I do not like sherry.
Here are some Instagrammed pictures – can we take pictures any other way now? Pathetically, I'm very proud that I only took one picture of my food and that was because I wanted to remember the day my skirt became so tight that I had to buy a new pair of trousers.
1. Skating at Somerset House – 2. A fashion newsagent on Wardour Street – 3. A very creepy print from a Brick Lane curry house – 4. Carnaby Street gets festive with The Rolling Stones – 5 – 7. Tim Walker on show at Somerset House – 8. The sad occupants of plastic bags at a manga shop near Leicester Square – 9. Eyes bigger than my belly at Wahaca (the waiter said that he was proud of me for trying anyway).

Questions about this product (22)
Aja, 15 May 2012
Can your sofas be delivered partially built to allow easier delivery?
Made Customer Services, 15 May 2012
Almost all of our sofas are delivered with the legs detached to allow for easier delivery. Most of our sofas can not be taken apart further and are delivered as one piece, but we do have some sofas, like the Abingdon Modular Sofa Set that will come in separate pieces. To see what the dimensions of our sofas will be at the time of delivery be sure to check out the package dimensions which you can find further up on this page.
Lesley, 23 May 2012
Do you offer carpet protectors for the legs of the Vittorio sofa?
Made Customer Services, 23 May 2012
Our sofas are designed so that they won't damage floors under normal usage, but if you have delicate floor or carpets then we might recommend looking to third-party retailers for carpet protectors.
Andrew, 5 Nov 2012
How are the legs stored for delivery?
Made Customer Services, 5 Nov 2012
The legs are stored in a zipped compartment located underneath the sofa. If you turn the sofa upside down, you will be able to locate the legs.
Claire, 27 Feb 2013
Can you make an extended version of this sofa?
Made Customer Services, 27 Feb 2013
The Vittorio sofa isn't extendible however the Abingdon range is modular so can have additional units added to it.
Hazel, 5 Jan 2013
What is the seat depth of the Vittorio?
Made Customer Services, 5 Jan 2013
Elizabeth, 28 Apr 2013
Can the the Vittorio sofa and chaise can be connected together or are they just meant to be positioned next to each other? I am concerned that they might move apart if so, is this ever a problem?
Made Customer Services, 28 Apr 2013
The two parts can be connected together with a part that is provided for this. Equally the two parts can be used separately should you wish.
Vicky, 25 Feb 2013
Are the legs screwed in? I'm not a massive fan of the metal legs and was thinking of replacing them.
Made Customer Services, 25 Feb 2013
The legs are screwed in using an M8 screw and could theoretically be replaced if you find a compatible set of legs.
Paul, 15 Apr 2013
Are other leg options available?
Made Customer Services, 15 Apr 2013
No, the only leg option is the one depicted above.
John, 23 Oct 2013
Can the chaise and sofa part be used separately?
Made Customer Services, 23 Oct 2013
Yes, each part acts as a stand alone unit.
Malin, 29 Apr 2013
Are the seat cushions fixed to the sofa?
29-4-2013, 29 Apr 2013
We can confirm that the cushions are attached to the base of the sofa.
Adam, 14 Jan 2013
Is it possible to get this sofa in a leather? Brown leather would be ideal?
Made Customer Services, 14 Jan 2013
The Vittorio is not available in leather. You might want to consider our Scott range.
Saffron , 5 Nov 2013
Can you tell me the width dimension for the short L shape part of this sofa?
Made Customer Services, 5 Nov 2013
The width of the smaller chaise part is 106 cm at the widest point.
Jo, 21 Jan 2013
Theoretically, would my husband be able to fit some legs that we make onto the sofa, or would that interfere with the integrity of the structure - ie is the shape of your legs necessary for the support?
Made Customer Services, 21 Jan 2013
We would not recommend replacing the legs, however theoretically you could replace the legs should you wish as they are attached by screws.
Jean, 26 Jul 2013
Are the cushions reversible, or can you have covers made for them?
Made Customer Services, 26 Jul 2013
The cushions on the Vittorio Right Hand Facing Corner Sofa are not reversible and unfortunately we do not currently sell extra covers for this sofa.
Giovanni , 14 Sep 2012
How comfortable is this sofa? I have 3 children and like to snuggle up on comfy sofa. Also can you wipe/specially clean it?
Made Customer Services, 14 Sep 2012
This is indeed a comfy sofa and is ideal for family life. It's made from a durable and hard wearing fabric. It isn't wipe clean, and we do advise that it is professionally cleaned.
Karishma , 30 Jun 2012
Is the sofa delivered in 2 pieces? I ask as I live in a flat and may have trouble getting it through the door otherwise. Do you deliver the sofa into the flat or leave it at the door step?
Made Customer Services, 30 Jun 2012
It will be delivered in two pieces: the sofa and then the chaise part. We ask that the deliver drivers take the goods to your room of your choice so they will not leave them on the door step.
Andrew , 8 Oct 2012
Are the seat cushions and backs quite soft and yielding or are they quite firm to sit on?
Made Customer Services, 8 Oct 2012
The Vittorio has deep cushioning and quite a firm yet comfy sit. This sofa is great for relaxing and lounging on.
Laura Anne, 11 Nov 2012
Can this sofa be delivered in more than one piece to allow for easier access to the home? I live in a flat on the 8th floor!
Made Customer Services, 11 Nov 2012
Thank you for your email. I can confirm that this sofa is delivered in two packages and there sizes of these are as follows: Box 1 - 139 x 95 x 54cm, Box 2 - 156 x 95 x 54cm.
Justine , 1 Oct 2012
Is it possible to remove the arm from the end of the sofa and add another chaise to the other side to create a U shaped sofa?
Made Customer Services, 1 Oct 2012
I am afraid that it is not possible to remove the arm of the Vittorio Sofa as it is made as a solid unit. You might want to consider our more flexible Abingdon modular range.
Beth, 2 Apr 2013
If I bought two of these, could I attach the seating components together to make a long sofa instead of the seating and chaise combination?
Made Customer Services, 2 Apr 2013
If you bought a left hand facing and a right hand facing sofa in the Vittorio range you would be able to make a longer sofa part. You would still have to purchase the chaise parts of the sofa as we do not sell the items separately.

What type of foam is used for the cushion. Will the cushion sag/sink over time.
Made Customer Services, 6 Mar 2013
This sofa is not prone to sagging/sinking. The foam used is an upholstery grade foam and looks a little like sponge.
Lesley, 13 Apr 2013
I understand that the back covers can be removed for cleaning, but what about the seat covers? How can these be cleaned if needed?
Made Customer Services, 13 Apr 2013
The seat cushions are not removable and need to be cleaned by an upholstery specialist. Most spillages can be removed quickly with a soft cloth to avoid staining.

Decision tools support radiation-reduction efforts
One effective way to reduce radiation exposure is to avoid unnecessary exams. That's why Mass General Imaging has been a leader in developing software tools that guide referring physicians by not only making sure the selected exam matches the patient's needs but also suggesting radiation-free alternatives when appropriate.
Radiation reduction: Our ongoing commitment
As CT (computed tomography) technology has transformed the practice of medicine, Mass General Imaging has dedicated itself to making sure each exam exposes the patient to the lowest achievable amount of radiation. Department of Radiology Chairman Emeritus James H. Thrall, MD, discusses our decade-long commitment—and our success—regarding this issue.

My Pink Ladies
The girls love to have their photo taken, and specifically, want to have outfit photos taken with mommy. I've been a little leery of doing that. I feel like Andrew and I already have to fight against society telling our girls that their most valuable asset is how they look. I'm really trying to instill in them that fashion and style is one of mommy's hobbies, among others like yoga, reading, and singing really loud in the car. It's pleasurable for me, and I don't do it for anyone else's approval.
Yesterday though I had to call in sick from work to take Andi to the doctor. I was feeling indulgent and after Arlie picked out outfits for the two of them, we headed outside for pictures. As you can see, it was kind of like herding cats. Andi knew she wanted to be in our vicinity but wouldn't turn around. Arlie is "posing like mommy" in the last photo. Yeah. . .thanks, kid.

i think there is nothing wrong with indulging girls (or boys) in how pretty they are. i tell my daughter how beautiful she is all the time. and she is certainly a little fashion maven, which i am so proud of. she is also a little genius, and i laud her with compliments on that, too. i want my kids to have high self esteems regarding their looks and their talent, so i see nothing wrong in telling them how great looking they are. i think what you are doing is fabulous! they are adorable (and probably very smart, too)! sorry for the long post....have a great weekend!

Aw adorable! I say if your daughter's are into it, let them indulge and feel good. I was such a tomboy growing up that I didn't discover I liked "fashion" (or girly things) until I was much older. I also didn't have a Mom that was into such things to learn from. The nice thing is your daughters have you to watch and see how good it makes you feel to be confident in the clothes you wear and to feel good about yourself. Good for them and you:)

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate community editor
A new boys and girls club is slated to open its doors to the youth of Carbon County in the near future.
According to a recent media release, the club will be part of a national organization that aided more than 4.8 million youth last year and boasts branches at more than 4,300 locations.
"We are excited to announce that a group of motivated citizens have been working towards this worthwhile facility for the youth of Carbon County," commented Liz Ferguson in the press release. "Throughout the history of the boys and girls club, there have been thousands of lives changed for the better."
The 2007 National Harris Survey confirms that boys and girls clubs have an immediate effect and long-lasting impact on their alumni.
The statistics provided in the media release indicate that:
Sixty seven percent of the alumni identified the club as the place where they learned how to "say no" to drugs and alcohol.
â¢Twenty eight percent of the participants reported they would have dropped out of high school if not for the club.
â¢Fifty one percent of the youth achieved a higher level of education than they thought possible because of attending the club.
â¢Fifty seven percent of alumni said the club saved their life. The statistic rose 5 percent from the 1999 survey.
The compelling outcomes as well as the reputation of the program are aimed directly at the children of Carbon County.
"We are very fortunate to live in a community that will support the Boys and Girls Club and have citizens who are deeply invested in making a difference in the live of children," said the release.
The croup's national website at www.bgca.org, reports that the United States is facing a growing crisis with soaring high school drop-out rates, coupled with low fitness and high obesity within young people.
"Boys and girls clubs are providing solutions to this national epidemic through homework help, engaging and fun nutritional tips, energizing sports and recreational activities and challenging academic programs," said the site. "Throughout the nation, clubs are reaching out to a generation at risk by providing positive guidance and exciting opportunities."
The mission of Carbon County's Boys and Girls club will focus on inspiring participants, families and the community to realize the youth's full potential as productive responsible and caring citizens, explained the local press release.
"We will provide a fun, safe, supervised environment for educational and recreational activities where boys and girls can develop self-esteem and qualities needed to become productive community leaders and members," said Ferguson.
The non-profit club intends to offer a safe place to learn and grow by giving local kids life enhancing programs and opportunities, as well as positive role models. The club teaches young people the skills they need to succeed in life, supports public education initiatives, offers one-on-one academic tutoring and allows volunteer opportunities for local citizens and university students, according to the release.
It is reported that because the club is non-profit, dues will be at a minimum for the families who need the services, with additional assistance available to those cannot afford that minimum.
The organization has a longstanding national reputation for good will and in 2007, Forbes, Smartmoney and U.S. News and World Report ranked the BGCA among the top charitable organizations in America. That ranking was based upon the cost effective use of donor dollars.
WORTH magazine has ranked BGCA as one of America's top 100 charities based on financial efficiency, strength of reputation and program effectiveness.
Some basic age statistics about the national organization reveal that:
â¢Sixty five percent are from minority families.
â¢Eleven percent are less than seven year-old.
â¢Twenty six percent are between the ages of seven and nine years of age.
â¢Twenty nine percent are 10-12 year of age.
â¢Twenty one percent are 13 to 15 years old.
â¢Eleven percent are 16-18 years old.
â¢Two percent are more than 18.
As for gender usage:
â¢Fifty five percent of club members are male and 45 percent are female.
The numbers show that the club has effective outreach programs and is useful to children of all ages and genders in the community.
The group has invited all who are interested in the program to their next meeting which is conducted on the first Wednesday of every month at noon in the classroom above the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum. Liz Ferguson and Megan Motte plan to approach the county commission on Dec. 10 to give an update and request support for the club from Carbon County Commission officials.

The radiation risk from full-body scanners used to improve airport security is low and unlikely to raise an individual's risk of cancer, according to experts including Mass General's Dr. James Thrall.
Radiation risk low with whole-body airport scanners
"All of the concerns that we have about the medical use of X-rays really don't apply to these devices," said Thrall, of the American College of Radiology and chief of radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital. "The exposure is extremely low and the energy of the X-rays is also very, very low. When X-rays are used for medical imaging purposes, they have to be energetic enough to get through the human body. The X-rays used in the backscatter machines in airports have such low energy that they literally bounce off the skin. That is what backscatter implies."

One year after Steve Jobs's death, his innovations are as important as ever. Originally published October 2011 on Obit-Mag.com.
"You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." - Steve Jobs
After Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple, the company he co-founded in 1976 with Stephen Wozniak in his garage, Jobs bought a small digital animation company from George Lucas, staffed it with some of the most talented programmers and designers he could find and assiduously took to the task of overseeing the production of the digitally animated movie Toy Story. Pixar Studios changed the movie industry, positing an entirely novel method of film animation and narrative possibility. But Pixar, for all its Academy Awards and billions of dollars at the box office, was only a detour in the life and career of Steve Jobs. His death on Wednesday, October 5th, 2011, just a day after he would have introduced the newest iPhone 4S to an awaiting world, puts a final point on what might be described as the most creative, odd, innovative and successful Baby Boomer life ever.
In this Jan. 15, 2008, file photo, Apple CEO Steve Jobs holds up the new MacBook Air after giving the keynote address at the Apple MacWorld Conference in San Francisco. Apple on Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2011 said Jobs has died. He was 56. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu, File)
Of course, Jobs came back to Apple in 1997 and let loose a torrent of consumer electronic creations that revolutionized personal computing, changed the way people listen to and buy music and set the standard for the smartphone and tablet industry. It was as if he knew what buyers wanted before they did. In his products and company lay a unique coalescence of design ingenuity, simplicity of function and an atavistic understanding of how a product can alter the way people interact with their world. The iPod, iPhone, and iPad, not to mention the 1985 Macintosh, were at once maximal and minimalist.
A successful consumer product might not necessary rank as an achievement, but in Jobs' approach to innovation and business, his stubborness and exactitude lay the other revolution that he spearheaded. He was a 21st century's enlightened technological despot, an uncompromising creator who was motivated as much by the disruptive spirit of 60s counter culture as he was by the magic of techonology. He often said that money didn't matter to him (this as Apple raked in billions) and somehow you believed him. It was creation not accumulation that pushed him.
So much will be written of Jobs' contribution to American business, culture and technology, in these pages and elsewhere. But what might be his most lasting contribution is his clarity of individual vision. He was notorious for never using focus group testing and data when developing his products. It was all within him somehow. His is a loss, especially for a country reeling for homegrown ingenuity, that will be impossible to replace. He was only 56. What else could have been up his sleeve?
Bill Gates:
The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been an insanely great honor. I will miss Steve immensely.
Tim Cook:
Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
Sergey Brin: of Google:
From the earliest days of Google, whenever Larry and I sought inspiration for vision and leadership, we needed to look no farther than Cupertino. Steve, your passion for excellence is felt by anyone who has ever touched an Apple product (including the macbook I am writing this on right now). And I have witnessed it in person the few times we have met.
Barack Obama:
Steve was among the greatest of American innovators – brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.
Ann Wroe of the Economist:
Mr Jobs caught the computing bug while growing up in Silicon Valley. As a teenager in the late 1960s he cold-called his idol, Bill Hewlett, and talked his way into a summer job at Hewlett-Packard. But it was only after dropping out of college, travelling to India, becoming a Buddhist and experimenting with psychedelic drugs that Mr Jobs returned to California to co-found Apple, in his parents' garage, on April Fools' Day 1976. "A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences," he once said. "So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions." Bill Gates, he suggested, would be "a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger".
Farhad Manjoo at Slate:
I saw the news of Steve Jobs' death on a device that he invented—the iPhone—and I'm writing on another machine that he willed into being: the graphical interface computer. I happen to be using a PC running Windows, with generic hardware I put together myself; technically, only my keyboard was made by Apple. But none of that matters. Just like the touch-screen smartphone and, now, the tablet computer, the PC that you and I use every day became ubiquitous thanks mainly to this one man. I'll go further: Whether you're yearning for a Kindle Fire or a BlackBerry PlayBook, whether you play Angry Birds on an iPod Touch or Google's Nexus Prime, whether you're a Mac or a PC, you've succumbed to Steve Jobs' master plan.

Most hairstylists say that the key to a successful style is a great cut—but there's one other thing that will make or break your look: your brush. Should you be using round or flat? Boar bristle, ceramic, or both? Do you really need to spend $100? Read on for our brush breakdown.
Brush Breakdown
- 1 of 6
Mason Pearson Extra Large Boar Bristle Hair Brush ($280)How does a brand become the so-called holy grail of brushes? Mason Pearson, an engineer-meets-inventor, won a medal for his brush-making machine in 1885. He didn't consider his brushes perfected until 1905 when he added the rubber cushion; the same design is still produced in England today. It's the combination of that cushion, which caves to resistance (meaning your hair doesn't break or stretch while brushing), and the natural bristles that make Mason Pearson the go-to for legendary hairstylist Oribe.
- 2 of 6
Sephora Boar Round Brush ($22)Boar-bristle brushes really are made from hog hair (sometimes there's a bit of nylon mixed into the bristles to make them last longer). The bristles close your hair cuticle, guaranteeing the shiniest locks possible, and are super gentle on even the finest strands--which is why they're considered the best.
Sephora Collection's Boar Round Brush is made of 100% pure boar bristles and comes with a silicone grip, making it easy to manipulate. Bonus? The bristles release negative ions, which help counter static and frizz.
- 3 of 6
Sonia Kashuk Hair Brush ($16)Hairstylist Jen Atkin, who works her magic on everyone from Emma Stone to Sofia Vergara, uses Sonia Kashuk's paddle brush. "It works just as well," she says. "And fits in your purse!"
- 4 of 6
Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Hair Brush ($9)You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to give yourself a good blowout. Conair's round brush has a ceramic core to absorb the heat from the blow-dryer and evenly redistribute it across your hair for faster drying time. The nylon bristles mixed into the boar are coated in tourmaline, a gemstone (pulverized into powder form) that tightens the cuticle and preserves your hair's natural oils for the ultimate shine.
- 5 of 6
Denman D4 Large 9 Row Styling Brush ($13)One of Denman's best-selling brushes, the D4 has nylon bristles; they're best for tackling particularly long or thick hair. It's not as wide as a paddle brush, but still has an anti-static rubber cushion to help prevent frizz.
- 6 of 6
Sheila Stotts Removal Brush ($28)Everything about this brush from Sheila Stotts suggests damage--from the metal teeth to the synthetic cushion--but it's actually quite popular among hairstylists. "I love this brush and use it on everyone," says Tracey Cunningham, whose "everyone" ranges from Emma Stone to Jessica Biel to Gwyneth Paltrow. "It's the best brush for detangling!"
Designed to unknot extensions without pulling them out or damaging the hair (real and fake), it's surprisingly gentle and effective when used with a light hand.

Federal Funding of Fetal Tissue Transplantation Research
Memorandum for the Secretary of Health and Human Services
On March 22, 1988, the Assistant Secretary for Health of Health and Human Services ("HHS") imposed a temporary moratorium on Federal funding of research involving transplantation of fetal tissue from induced abortions. Contrary to the recommendations of a National Institutes of Health advisory panel, on November 2, 1989, the Secretary of Health and Human Services extended the moratorium indefinitely. This moratorium has significantly hampered the development of possible treatments for individuals afflicted with serious diseases and disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and leukemia. Accordingly, I hereby direct that you immediately lift the moratorium.

Comments about Only Natural Pet Bullies with Benefits Fortified Bully Stick:
I just made a second order of these. They are not like the first order. The ones I just received are not as big and my dog can take care of one in a few minutes. The first ones took her as least a day to finish up off and on. I will not order again. They are not worth the BIG price.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pretty thin
By Rainebow
from Austin, Tx
I have an 8 month retriever and she needs to CHEW! These sticks are thin and not very dense, therefore she can go through one very quickly. This was disappointing. I think I will go back to getting a bully stick where I can actually look at it to see how dense it is.
So Good!
By Lucy's Mom
from Los Angeles
My dog loves these! I like how they are individually wrapped for freshness, and they seem to last longer then other sticks I've bought in the past.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced recently that the Palestinian Authority intended to seek official recognition of statehood by the United Nations. The UN Security Council president announced Monday that the council would meet today to begin formal consideration of the Palestinian request for membership in the world body.
Predictably, the United States has announced that it would veto any Security Council resolution accepting Palestine's application for recognition. The exercise of the veto would prevent the proposal from being placed before the 193-member General Assembly for the needed two-thirds vote. A yes-no vote in the Security Council is not expected to occur for some time, perhaps a month.
If the United States and Israel are successful in thwarting the Palestinian plan to gain full membership in the United Nations, the Palestinian Authority will likely recur to the General Assembly, where the possibility of a veto is obviated and there remain a few less desirable, though more likely, alternatives to official recognition of statehood.

Born and raised proudly South African with an intuitive passion for color, design and dreaming BIG, I moved to Los Angeles to earn a very non-conventional Masters in Architecture. I then followed my dream and became a Walt Disney Imagineer. And after 4 years of dreaming much and imagining theme parks, my husband and I received the joyful news that we were expecting our very first munchkin. I believe in impact. And to make an impression, size can definitely help! I had walls – FOUR BIG ONES - staring at me. I just knew that to create the fabulous design experience I imagined, I needed: – funky and fun designs which was playful and cheery and COLO(U)RFUL – a design flexible to grow with her – and, of course, all encompassing design BIG enough to truly create an immersive environment I like to call it my PICTURE POETRY. Experiencing design as an opportunity for expression and exploration – something every kid deserves.

Of all the high-profile fashion-related jobs, we're most intrigued by the honorary positions, such as muse or brand ambassador. Though the responsibilities that come with said employment elude us-we assume wearing gorgeous gowns, marvelous maquillage, and sipping champagne at all the right parties are mandatory duties-high-end luxury labels are utilizing a smart strategy by tapping an international group of young and fashionable tastemakers to represent the spirit of their companies and act as mascots for their brands. While Christian Dior has several emissaries (most recently, Harley Viera-Newton accepted the role of House DJ for Dior Beauty), Chanel is taking the concept to a new level and has anointed five (Coco's signature number) alluring ladies to fill this glamorous, ambiguous post. Though the entire quintet are interesting to be sure, we think that Mr. Lagerfeld really set the bar high by picking Caroline Sieber, a raven-haired beauty with ravishing taste, to represent the storied fashion house. While we have long admired this Austrian-born, London-based stylist's look, we wanted to take the time to introduce you, dear readers, to this industry-insider who's poised to make a splash on both sides of the pond-and beyond.
Though Sieber came to London to be an accountant, it's clear that number-crunching took a backseat to being a fixture on countless best-dressed lists and a constant on the posh party circuit. Since first becoming a stylist for starlets like Emma Watson, our GOTM has managed to create a chic look all her own-a balance between classic sophistication and boldness, tempered with androgynous accents. Sieber has been known to sum up her style as a "youthful reinvention" of her icon, Jane Birkin (and she is a huge fan of sixties-inspired dramatic eye makeup!), and counts Balenciaga, Balmain, Yves Saint Laurent, Charles Anastase, Burberry Prorsum, and Chanel-naturally!-as her favorite designers and brands. It's obvious her passion for fashion is reciprocated; the industry's elite are enthusiastic supporters of the leggy Euro, as evidenced by her collection of the seasons' most covetable frocks and accessories.
Sieber wore one such all-star dress-specifically Prada's icy-teal lace confection from Miuccia's F/W 08 collection-when she attended an exhibition at London's Design Museum late last year. The frock's New Look silhouette, pale palette, and conservative long sleeves look smashing paired with unfussy hair and simple makeup. Though Prada's embroidered statement pieces are no longer available, try Camilla and Marc's Annalu Dress ($650) or ASOS' Lace Dress ($64) to satisfy any fancy-fabric cravings. Just make sure to finish the look with glossy side-swept hair, minimal jewelry, and clean make-up look. Sieber is a fan of a bare, very natural face (which she achieves by using Chanel's Hydramax + Active Tinted Moisturizer ($60) in Sunlit during the summer) with a bold, red and matte lip color, like Chanel's Rouge Hydrabase Crème Lipstick ($29) in Coco Red.
Aside from her mastery of fancier fare, Sieber is also a pro when it comes to incorporating classic separates into her wardrobe with her own unique panache. For example, she wore Chanel's signature quilted jacket-the ultimate in lady-like allure-with rough and tumble pieces for an in-store party at London's Missoni boutique this March. To get a similar look, we recommend layering Kimchi Blue's Cropped Origami Blazer ($78) over an easygoing white shirt (Sieber favors those from Isabel Marant) and your favorite broken-in pair of black jeans for a successful high-low ensemble.
When asked to define her style, Sieber notes that she tends to eschew anything that is too trendy, polished, or overtly sexy, and often accessorizes her outfits with tough accents such as leather belts and aggressive heels. For example, when she wore a vividly patterned dress to Luella Bartley's London store launch, the jet-setter grounded the impressionistic print with a wide leather belt. This addition worked in two ways: it breaks up the colorful expanse of fabric (which could otherwise overwhelm Sieber's lithe frame) and adds some edge to the brightly-hued piece. We're so wild about the result, we sought out this Lipsy Printed Floral Tulip Dress ($103) from ASOS and Vera Wang's Wide Elastic Belt ($195), as the combo will help you achieve a more budget-friendly version of Sieber's style.
In addition to being perfectly turned out for high-wattage fashion events, Sieber knows how to nail a festive outfit for non-industry events. While attending Andi and Patty Wong's 2007 Chinese New Year bash in London (second from left), she opted for a brass-buttoned strapless dress with a feathered skirt from Burberry Prorsum's S/S 2008 collection. We love how Sieber's addition of a slim leather belt and bondage stilettos tones down the femininity of the festive frock. Clearly, she knows the power of a good belt and stellar shoes: they can complete a look and add just the right amount of eye-catching attitude. Such is the case with her ensemble for a presentation of Chanel's 2008 pre-fall collection. She paired a metal-embellished cincher and above-the-ankle boots (from the same Burberry Spring S/W 08 season) with an off-the-shoulder black tulle and tiered silk dress from Chanel's F/W 06 collection. These additions give a little extra contradiction and playfulness to a seriously beautifully designed cocktail piece-try a treasured vintage belt and Juicy Couture's Cici Suede Ankle Boots ($375) with your favorite filmy frock to get an equally chic end result.
All in all, we couldn't be more thrilled that this doe-eyed mademoiselle with impeccable style has captured the rapt attention of fashion tastemakers and followers alike. While we may still not have a firm understanding of the responsibilities inherent in her representative role, after surveying some of her most notable ensembles, we are quite certain that Sieber is the perfect contemporary embodiment of the classic Chanel ethos: modern, independent, iconic, confident, and above all else, effortlessly chic!-Kate Mulling

WADDINGTON The St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the Clarkson School of Business to determine what impact the upcoming Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament will have on St. Lawrence Countys economy.
The fishing tournament, which opens here Thursday, draws 100 of the worlds best anglers together in competition, and is expected to bring in over 10,000 visitors. In addition, more than 100 vendors will set up for the Tastes & Talents of the North Country Festival that will run simultaneously with the tournament, St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce events and promotions manager Jo Ann Roberts said. A list of events can be found at northcountrybass.com.
Organizers for the tournament have collected over $200,000, including a $75,000 contribution from the St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators, to host the event. And the chamber wants to assure the public their investment has been worthwhile.
When we went to the county legislature, one of the questions that was asked was how do we know we are spending our taxpayers dollars in good faith? Chamber CEO Patricia L. McKeown said. The only way to determine that is to find out the impact with hard data.
Eight international graduate students from the Clarkson School of Business will collect and analyze data relating to the effects the tournament will have on the economy.
These students just arrived on campus for their pre-orientation, Business School Dean Dayle M. Smith said. Its a win-win. This gives the students a great opportunity to learn about the community in which they will spend the next few years. I am particularly excited for them to use their skill set in economic analysis. Clarkson is very committed to creating business leaders who can contribute to their communities. You couldnt ask for a better opportunity to demonstrate that.
Students will use a report on the 2005 World Carp Tournament, which brought over 270 visitors to area, as a template. In addition to local businesses, the students will survey spectators, asking them questions about where they are from, their income range, where they stayed, ate and if they would come back.
There is a difference between analytical and anecdotal data, Ms. McKeown said. We can ask businesses if they did well, but what does that mean? Does that mean you netted an additional few dollars or a few hundred dollars? This study will ask that.
The business school also will collect sales and bed tax data from the last three years from the county Treasurers Office for comparison purposes. The county Planning Office will provide maps and demographics to the students, Planner John F. Tenbusch said.
The bass tournament is the largest event thats been held in St. Lawrence County in the last 20 years that I have been here, Mr. Tenbusch said. We know that a bucket of money will be spent here, but we would like to know how big that bucket is going to be. We also want to know if this is a good thing to do in terms of investment and coordinating future events. This will help the county chamber determine that.
The students findings will be presented and distributed in bound-book form on Nov. 1.
