Though spring is arguably one of our favorite seasons, the unpredictable weather linked with this time of year can propose quite a conundrum in the wardrobe department. In cases when temperatures aren't cold enough for heavy-duty outerwear yet still not warm enough for breezy sundresses, we find having lightweight sweaters--particularly of the open-knit variety--on hand is key to constructing a myriad of smart transitional looks! To ensure your wardrobe is stocked with a range of chic and on-trend options, we've culled five standout styles for you to try. And you'll be happy to know all of today's must-have selects are Under $100, so finding a spring sweater that fits into your budget has never been easier!
The Inspiration
Keeping in mind the specific theme (read: open knits) of today's sweater-filled story, we turned to Rebecca Taylor's S/S 12 show for guidance, as the designer showed more than a few lust-worthy sweaters. Featuring beautiful patchwork pieces, modern proportions, and an interesting mix of textures, Taylor's spring collection is chock-full of easy wardrobe essentials, like the Cross-Back Mesh Sweater ($250). The basic crewneck knit--paired here with the Runway Skirt ($275)--appears sporty in contrast with the skirt's festive metallic design, resulting in a cool, fashion-forward look you need in your repertoire.
Shop The Look
Forever 21 Open Knit Sweater ($20) in Mint
Come spring, Forever 21 transforms into sweater heaven, offering a variety of essential styles that simply cannot be missed. Of the retailer's many notable options this year, this scoop-neck knit was an immediate standout for your WWW editors, thanks in large part to its pretty mint green hue! Additionally, the top's relaxed fit lends itself to a number of styling options; layer it with a collared shirt in a solid neutral color for a sophisticated office look, or style it with a white fitted tank, statement necklace, and flirtatious mini skirt for a casual after-hours event.
Gap Open Knit Textured Sweater ($50) in White
As our go-to retailer for quality wardrobe basics, it makes sense that Gap was an essential stop on our search for the best spring sweaters. We were immediately drawn to the brand's textured knit option shown above; the intricate open-weave detailing on the bodice is perfect for showcasing a bevy of contrasting bright colors. Layer the sweater over a neon tank-we like hot pink or fluorescent yellow-to add a cool burst of color to an understated ensemble.
Kimchi Blue Thick and Thin Sweater ($59)
While we love the comfortable, stretchy fit and ribbed knit hem and neckline of this Kimchi Blue sweater, we're especially fond of its wear-with-anything oatmeal hue. Versatile indeed, this is the kind of knit you can wear now with skinny jeans and ankle boots, then come summer, over a bathing suit at the beach.
Madewell Wellspring Tank ($58) in Faded Coral
On days when temperatures reach 80 degrees and above, a long-sleeve sweater is just not practical, which is why we highly recommend picking up this tank top version from Madewell right away. Available in this brilliant shade of pink, as well as ivory, the sleeveless knit is ideal for weekend jaunts and warm-weather vacays, and would look quite noteworthy worn with khaki shorts and espadrille wedges.
BCBGeneration Mixed-Stitch Sweater ($98) in Citron
If you find that an all-over open-knit design is a bit too revealing for your tastes, we have a feeling you'll be smitten with BCBGeneration's Mixed-Stitch Sweater. Though a more conservative take on the trend, this sprightly knit is in no way less stylish than the others. In fact, its lovely macaroon yellow color perfectly references one of spring's biggest trends and would complement a slew of floral prints too! Our advice: pair it with a maxi skirt and flat sandals for a cozy and fuss-free afternoon look.--Jessica Baker

Winter months can make for dry, irritated, unhappy skin. If you are looking more dull or red than bright and radiant you may need to take a closer look at which products you are using. More specifically… your moisturizer.
Supplying skin with proper hydration and protection is essential in maintaining soft, smooth skin. Skin requires both moisture from water and oils to stay healthy and youthful. Most often dryness in younger skin is caused by dehydration, while more mature skin may be dry due to lack of oil.
Skin lacking moisture usually appears tight and dry and needs rich hydration. Hyaluronic Acid in Young FACES Mint Moisturizing Face Fluid locks in moisture and supports collagen renewal. A moisturizer packed with hydrating Aloe vera gel, like FACES Aloe Vera Night (Protection) Cream, is another effective option.
Skin with an oil deficiency may appear flaky, rough or irritated. Organic plant oils are a pure and effective way to supply skin with natural oils. Rich oils of Rosehip, Sweet Almond or Jojoba are easily absorbed by skin and super gentle. FACES Wild Rose Moisturizing Day Cream and Basis Night Cream (Protection) offer rich hydration from natural plant oils.
If skin is lacking in both moisture and oils it may appear taut and flaky. To help combat this situation a combination of a facial hydrating mist, like SOLUTION Facial Mist, along with an oil-rich moisturizer provides both water and oils to skin.
For daytime you will want your moisturizer to not only hydrate, but provide a canvas for makeup. Tinted Moisturizer is a great alternative if you feel your regular makeup regimen is leaving skin looking parched.
Nighttime treatments are very beneficial in hydrating and healing upset skin. If you are prone to breakouts you may want to apply a heavier treatment only every 2-3 nights.
And don't be afraid to mix it up. If you feel that your T-zone is too oily for a rich moisturizer, use a lighter product on that area and douse cheeks and neck with a heavier product. Or maybe you need to apply a thicker treatment around your nose and mouth at night to avoid irritated areas. Experiment until you find what works best for you.
Taking an essential oil supplement, like Flax or Fish Oil capsules and drinking lots of filtered water are essential in keeping skin healthy. Providing extra care to your skin this season will get you back on track and balanced.

Looking back at the Top 5, what's next for Nieuwenhuis
Mets Minor League Blog's Toby Hyde feels Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler and Brandon Nimmo all saw their respective stocks climb last year, while Jeurys Familia and Kirk Nieuwenhuis took small steps backward.
In regards to Nieuwenhuis, Hyde writes:
"The 25-year old played an OK centerfield… but his secondary skills disappeared and the strikeouts ate his batting average. He fanned in 31% of his MLB plate appearances. Moreover, his extra-base hit rate dropped from 11.3 in Triple-A in 2011 to just 6.3 in 2012, while his walk rate plummeted. … He did not hit lefties at all… while doing OK against righties."
Nieuwenhuis hit .252 with a .329 OBP with 7 HR, 12 doubles, and 28 RBI in 314 plate appearances for the Mets last season.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
The Mets are still in the market for an outfielder, either by trade or through free agency. However, at this point in the winter, with so few meaningful options available in either market, I fear there is a really, really good chance that Nieuwenhuis and Collin Cowgill are splitting time in center field during the first month of the regular season… just as I think there is a good chance Scott Hairston, Lucas Duda and Mike Baxter might rotate around the corners… again. I wouldn't be surprised to see Alderson also sign a guy like Ryan Rayburn, as well, to throw him in the mix this spring along with Andrew Brown. Yep, I'm thinking the outfield competition this March is going to be like an American Idol audition…
As far as Nieuwenhuis, he and Cowgill actually compliment one another well, just as Hairston and Baxter do for one another. But, neither is a long-term solution, nor is this going to have a major impact on the team's power and offensive production. Basically, it's more of the same…
To read Toby's thoughts on Harvey, Wheeler, Nimmo and Familia, check out his post here.

U.S. and Canadian customs have loosened import rules, allowing goods valued at up to $2,500 to qualify for informal entry.
By adopting a common threshold for expedited customs clearance, U.S. and Canadian officials say businesses on both sides of the border will be able to exchange goods faster with less hassle.
Previously, merchandise entering the U.S. valued more than $2,000 was subject to formal entry procedures that involve providing surety bonds, paying processing fees and filling out U.S. Customs and Border Protection import forms.
Canadas expedited clearance limit was $1,600 before the new rules went into effect Monday.
Customs estimates that the changes would result in an annual benefit of $13 million for importers.
This is another step towards simplifying the process for conducting business across the border, Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, said in a news release Wednesday. With 13 border crossings in the district, this is incredibly important to New York. It means increased commerce between the United States and Canada and greater opportunity for communities along the border to grow and create jobs.
As part of the binational Beyond the Border Action Plan introduced in 2011, Canada Border Services Agency also increased its low-value shipment threshold to $2,500 Canadian for exemption from North American Free Trade Agreement certificate of origin requirements, to align its limit with the U.S.
Reducing the administrative and paperwork burden on Canadian businesses improves Canadas competitiveness, especially for our small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy, Vic Toews, Canadas Minister of Public Safety, said in a Customs and Border Protection press release.

It was with inspiration from the form of cherry blossoms in full bloom that designer Helle Damkjær created the popular Bloomseries. "My studio is based in Paris, one of Europe's most vibrant metropolises. To challenge and contrast the inspirations I find in Europe, I enjoy travelling to the Far East to be inspired by Asia's unique landscapes and natural forms. I was in Japan in the springtime and witnessedthe overwhelming beauty of the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The delicate and soft contours of the cherry blossom's forminspired me to create Bloom" Helle Damkjær states. The Bloom bowls are produced in stainless steel and are both suited for presenting delicious foods and for decorating any table.Design year: 2012Matierals: Stainless steel, mirror polishedMeasurements: H: 140 mm Ø: 340 mm

2013-14 NEW ORLEANS HORNETS SEASON PREVIEW The Hornets-turned-Pelicans have a new name this season, but will it come with new results? Anthony Davis got some big-time help in the offseason in the form of Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday in hopes that it will. The Hornets won only 27 games in the 2012-13 Season and were rewarded by grabbing Nerlen Noels and quickly dealing him and next year's 1st –round pick to the Sixers for Holiday. The Pelicans should be an exciting team to watch and can make the postseason if they can remain relatively healthy.
New Orleans will open up the season in Orlando on Nov. 1 before returning to the Crescent City to play Charlotte the next night. Other key home games will be vs. Oklahoma City on Dec. 6, vs. San Antonio on Jan. 13 and vs. Chicago on Feb. 1.
2012-13 NEW ORLEANS HORNETS SEASON PREVIEW With the departure of their star player, Chris Paul, before the start of the 2011-12 season, the New Orleans Hornets couldn't seem to overcome the loss of the talented point guard. While the team's roster had a few bright spots throughout the season, the Hornets limped to a 21-45 record and 15th in the Western Conference. Fortunately, the Hornets experienced a stroke of good luck in the NBA draft lottery and scored the top pick, selecting forward Anthony Davis from Kentucky. The team has also extensively reworked their roster in the offseason to put together a mixture of young talent and savvy veterans to compete in a highly competitive Western Conference.
The Hornets roster experienced a series of changes during the offseason, as the team looked to shed big men like Emeka Okafor, Chris Kaman and Carl Landry. The team's leading scorer from a year ago, point guard Jarrett Jack, signed with the Golden State Warriors and the position looks to be one of their biggest question marks heading into the season. The team did draft the talented Austin Rivers with their second first round pick this year, but the Hornets may try to bring him along slowly and allow starter Greivis Vasquez to maintain his steadying influence over the offense.
The Hornets received a very talented guard from the Clippers in Eric Gordon when they made the trade for Chris Paul, but he was only able to see action in nine games during the 2011-12 season. With his return, and new additions like forward Ryan Anderson from the Magic and center Robin Lopez, who the team traded for during the offseason, the Hornets seem to be in good shape. Starting forward Al-Farouq Aminu is incredibly underrated in league circles and has proven to be a strong presence in the paint. Ultimately the question for any contending team is its depth situation, and the Hornets' bench may have a few surprises in store. Forward Darius Miller and guard Riley Mason Jr. should see increased playing time and provide a needed spark off the bench.
For a team that looks to be in the first year of a major rebuilding project, the Hornets have a surprising amount of talent that could come together quite nicely. With a mixture of high-end draft picks, new faces in search of a fresh start and a few proven veterans, the Hornets may have the mix of talent and experience to make some serious strides during the 2012-13 season.
New Orleans Hornets 2012 NBA Season Preview: With the Chris Paul situation behind them, the New Orleans Hornets can now focus on playing the basketball their bounty has given them. Shooting guard Eric Gordon might be the best piece the Hornets picked up in the deal, and his ceiling's high. Chris Kaman is a former All-Star who can definitely defend and score, and Al-Farouq Aminu is a forward who is starting to blossom into a high-line defender and scorer.
2010-2011 New Orleans Hornets NBA Preview: The New Orleans Hornets disappointed some fans last season when they failed to qualify for the postseason. After their star point guard Chris Paul flirted with trade talks during the offseason, the front office made some moves to surround him with talent. Now, the Hornets should have enough depth and star power to carry them to the playoffs, but how far they go remains to be seen.
The biggest issue with the Hornets last season was that Paul was gone for nearly half the year due to an injured knee. With Paul healthy and the addition of forward Trevor Ariza, who is coming off the best season of his career, New Orleans has a solid offense. The team's leading scorer from a year ago, David West, is also returning.
New Orleans will have to improve on defense, however, as they ranked 21 in the NBA in points allowed. Former NCAA Player of the Year Emeka Okafor was brought in to stabilize the frontcourt, but was somewhat disappointing. If he can prove to be a stable player down low, the defense should get better. Peja Stojakovic needs to improve as well, as the 6-foot-10 forward was underwhelming. 2009-2010 New Orleans Hornets NBA Preview: The New Orleans Hornets head into the 2009-2010 NBA season with big expectations in the Big Easy. The Hornets slipped a bit last year, so Head Coach Byron Scott will be hoping to return to their top form from the 2007-2008 season. Scott has all-star point guard Chris Paul back to lead the talent New Orleans roster. Paul, Peja Stojakovic, David West and new acquisition Emeka Okafor will look to put the Hornets back on top of the SW Division of the Western Conference.
2008-2009 New Orleans Hornets NBA Preview: The New Orleans Hornets are a team to beat in the Eastern Conference of the NBA this season. With star scorer Peja Stojakovich back, and sporting the NBA's finest point guard in Chris Paul, the Hornets will give the big teams in the West a tough fight come playoff time this year. Watch a Hornets game at New Orleans Arena and you'll see a physical team rebuilding itself to past glory in a city celebrated for doing the same.
I ordered 1 day before the game and worried about tickets arriving in time, got'em the next morning!Patty - Indianapolis, IN

Bryce Shumate, spokesman for Radcliff Police Department, said the 23-year-old returned home and police were at his home interviewing him Wednesday afternoon.

Man shot by police in critical condition
EUGENE, Ore. - The man shot by police Wednesday after a report of shots fired in a mall parking lot is in critical condition Thursday evening.
Police on Thursday identified the man as Michael Thomas Mason, 27, the son of a former Eugene police sergeant who retired in 2003.
Mason is listed in critical condition at Sacred Heart Hospital at RiverBend in Springfield, Ore.
Police also said the two officers involved in the shooting are Sgt. Bill Solesbee and Officer Marcus Pope.
Pope joined the force in 2004. Solesbee has been with EPD since 1995.
An interagency team required by Oregon law is investigating the shooting. Their findings will be reviewed by the district attorney to determine whether officers were justified in using deadly force against Mason.
The shooting happened off River Road, but the incident started earlier in the parking lot of Valley River Center with a report of a man firing shots at cars. No one was injured, but police have said the shooter hit two cars.
Police got a cell phone number for the suspect, 27-year-old Michael Thomas Mason, from a relative, Police Chief Pete Kerns said Wednesday night.
That enabled crisis negotiators to talk to Mason as police tracked him down.
Less than an hour later, police caught up with him on Zane Lane off River Road. Chief Kerns said that when Mason stopped driving, he showed some threatening behavior.
"The suspect's hands and body were constantly in motion," Kerns said. "Throughout the front portion interior of the vehicle, his behavior was unpredictable and did not comply with officers clear instructions."
Kerns said that's when Sgt. Bill Solesbee and Officer Marcus Pope shot the suspect.
"I heard police coming this way, sirens very quickly," said witness Darrell Bassett. "I heard the sirens stop right down here and right after that I believe I heard three shots."
Police gave first aid to the suspect until medics arrived and took him to the hospital.

Off Field
On a beautiful morning in the Nation's Capital, the Crew began its day with breakfast followed by a team walk through Washington's Dupont Circle neighborhood. The Black & Gold finished their walk with a stretch at a nearby park.
Now, the players will spend the afternoon preparing at the team hotel before heading to RFK Stadium for tonight's pivotal Eastern Conference showdown with D.C. United. The team feels fully prepared for tonight's match, which holds major playoff implications for both sides.
"[Preparation] started Monday for me. It starts early in the week. If you prepare during the week, then the game comes easy," veteran Danny O'Rourke said.
"It's time to relax, and then it's like riding a bike. It all comes naturally."
Photos from this morning's walk can be found below.
With both President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney hitting the swing state of Ohio hard as Election Day nears, Columbus has been in the national media spotlight. Out on his morning coffee run, CNN's John King tweeted this picture of the digital billboards at the corner of Broad and High:
Times Square??? No- Columbus, OH. Coffee run!instagr.am/p/Qmml5GsLSb/
— John King (@JohnKingCNN) October 10, 2012
Luckily for the Crew, ads for season ticket renewals were in rotation when he snapped his photo.
Speaking of season tickets, purchase or renew yours today.
Crew Head Coach Robert Warzycha, TV Analyst Duncan Oughton, and Brand Ambassador Frankie Hejduk took part in the C Magazine celebrity golf outing at The Medallion Club in Westerville Monday afternoon to help promote the Crew brand.
"This is a great time and an opportunity to meet good people and spread Crew love," Oughton said in a text message.
While no scores were reported, it's probable that Warzycha beat Oughton and Hejduk handily as "The Polish Rifle" is an avid golfer in his down-time.
A special thank you to C Magazine for inviting the Black & Gold to participate in this special event.
With an extra day to prepare for Sunday's match against Sporting Kansas City, Crew Head Coach Robert Warzycha decided to give his team a break from the daily training regimen on Wednesday morning. In lieu of training, the team went bowling as a team-building activity.
"Everything that we do is based on how we can get better as a team and do what is necessary for us to win the game," Warzycha said Wednesday afternoon.
"Team chemistry is just as important as fitness or anything else," the Head Coach continued. "I think it was a good time to bring everybody to bowling, because the guys that are injured that are not with the team every single day because they're in treatment and everything else, they were there too. To have the entire team together before the final stretch, before the end of the season, it was very important."
The team enjoyed a day without thinking about soccer.
"Sometimes, you need to spend time enjoying your teammates and your coaches," defender Sebastián Miranda explained. "It was avery good opportunity to maybe forget soccer and playing, and bond with your teammates. You can laugh. You can talk with your teammates and not talk about soccer, and try to enjoy [the team atmosphere] a little bit."
So, who was the best bowler on the team?
"After me, Netzo [Nemanja Vukovic] was a very big surprise," Miranda said with a laugh. "He was a big surprise."
The Crew will resume its normal training schedule Thursday morning at Crew Stadium.

To help celebrate the release of EA Sports FIFA 13 and look ahead to the Crew's remaining four matches, I will be playing against a different Crew player each week as one of the team's upcoming opponents. This week, I squared off with rookie midfielder Kevan George playing as the Crew, while I took control of the Philadelphia Union.
Admittedly, Houston hasn't been my favorite city I've visited with the Crew this season. It's extremely hot and humid, there's nothing to do around the team hotel, and nearly every restraunt downtown is closed on Sunday.
However, the Dynamo's new BBVA Compass Stadium has made up for the misfortunes mentioned above.
The first thing I noticed when I walked into the stadium: there's a lot of orange in this place.
Outside the press box, images of various Houston Chronicle front pages over the past few years pay homage to Dynamo's short time in Houston.
A Dynamo legend overlooks the entrance to every lower-level section. For example, here's Brian Ching at the entryway to Section 125.
Here's the view from the north end of the stadium, looking toward the stage area. The dimensions of the field at BBVA Compass Stadium are 70 yards x 115 yards to suit the Dynamo's style of play and execution on set pieces. The MLS preference for pitch size is 75 yards x 120 yards.
In the southwest corner of the stadium is where the Dynamo supporters groups sit. No, Crew fans, it's not as big as the Nordecke.
Finally, and most importantly, the Crew's Equipment Manager Rusty Wummel was a happy camper with the spacey visiting locker room.
The Urso family has decided to have Kirk's legacy live on off the field, by giving the gift of tissue. Columbus Crew sponsor Lifeline of Ohio, the local nonprofit that promotes and coordinates organ and tissue donation, is giving fans an opportunity to honor Kirk's gift at upcoming games.
Statement from Lifeline of Ohio:
Kirk Urso was truly a hero on and off the field. He not only touched lives as a member of the Columbus Crew, but he will continue to impact others through his gift of tissue donation. Help us honor Kirk's legacy as a tissue donor by wearing a green Donate Life bracelet. Stop by the Donate Life booth before any Columbus Crew home game to pick up your free bracelet and honor our hero, Kirk Urso.
Stop by the Donate Life booth on the Crew Kicker Plaza before the game on Wednesday to pick up one of 4,000 green Donate Life bracelets to support Kirk's gift of life.
To learn more about organ and tissue donation, or to register as a donor, visit: www.lifelineofohio.org/crew
The Crew players were greeted with the oppressive Mid-Atlantic heat and humidity on the team walk today through the Dupont Circle area of Washington, D.C.. There was a chorus of resounding "It's so hot..." statements as the team walked to Mitchell Park for a morning stretch. As you can see from Julius James' back in the photo above, many of the players broke a sweat during the stroll. Chris Birchall came prepared however, using napkins to wipe the sweat off his back throughout the walk.
It won't be much cooler at the time of kickoff this evening. Weather.com predicts it will be 89 degrees Fahrenheit with 55-percent humidity, making it feel like 96 degrees. What's more, the concrete structure of RFK Stadium will trap in the heat for tonight's match to make it even more oppressive.
Tonight will be a test of endurance for the Black & Gold, so look for the Crew to come out firing from the opening whistle just as it did two weeks ago against D.C. in search of an early goal in this muggy D.C. weather.
I'll have more from RFK Stadium later as kickoff approaches.
Greetings from Kansas City,
After going their separate ways for breakfast, the players and coaches gathered in the hotel lobby this morning to catch some Olympic action before embarking on the team walk through the city.
Following their Olympic viewing, the players enjoyed the sights of Kansas City on the team walk.
Eventually, the team found a nice shaded are to stretch and mentally prepare for tonight's match against Sporting KC. Eddie Gaven shared his veteran insight with rookies Ethan Finlay and Matt Lampson.
Finally, before heading back to the hotel to rest, these guys insisted on posing for a buddy pic:
Crew rookie Ethan Finlay was recently honored with the Omaha World-Herald's prestigious Fred Ware Award for his accomplishments playing for Creighton University. According to the World-Herald's website, "The Ware Award is given annually to the four-year college athlete in Nebraska who, in the judgment of the newspaper's editors, made the most significant achievement in sports while representing the best traditions of his or her institution. The late Fred Ware organized The World-Herald's sports department and served as sports editor from 1924 to 1942, and later was managing editor and a member of the newspaper's board of directors."
Past winners of the Ware Award include current Detroit Lions star Ndamukong Suh, Kansas City Royals outfielder Alex Gordon, Atlanta Hawks sharpshooter Kyle Korver, and Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch.
For the full article, check out the World-Herald's feature on the Crew rookie.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Atomic athlete Kilian Jornet pulled ahead of the competition on the first ski mountaineering World Cup weekend. The Spaniard won both the pre-race and the main contest taking home a clear victory.
Two weeks ago, Jornet participated in the Mountain Attack contest in Saalbach/Austria, before heading to the Spanish Championships and now to Andorra: "It was an important race in Saalbach. The Spanish Championships were not that challenging, but things will get more serious in Andorra!" Excellent weather and mild temperatures, albeit just very little snow, welcomed the world best ski mountaineers to the first race of the World Cup season. Slippery tracks and icy downhill stretches challenged the world elite to a thrilling competition. The first race took place on Saturday in Arcalis. A vertical race was held as the pre-contest. Jornet entered the race as the favorite, was able to pull ahead of the field right after the start and set the pace on the subsequent stretches, too. The final third lag of the race was a fiercely contested one, with a group of five athletes catching up to Jornet. However, he increased his speed and pulled out a 44 second lead with a finishing time of 35:17 on the Italian Lorenzo Holzknecht. The main race on Sunday was an individual Alpine race. The situation was clearly different from the previous day, with 15 athletes attacking right after the start to secure the best positions in the tracks. A group of 4 athletes comprising Jornet and 3 Italians finally pulled ahead of the field. Jornet was not able to break away from the group right away and increased his lead only on the final downhill stretch, winning in 1:27:02 hours 25 seconds ahead of the Italian Matteo Eydallin. Jornet on his success at the World Cup opening race: "I am overjoyed that it went so well, even if it was a tight race both times. The competition during a World Cup race is fierce and you need to continuously attack, to stay in the lead. Today it was particularly dramatic during the final downhill stretches, and my ATOMIC Ultimates have helped to catapult me to victory."

In honor of the new month and as an ode to the season's runways, we must focus on a fresh spring trend: nude. Granted, this is not the first time said hue has hit it big, but some of our favorite style muses have been wearing shades of apricot, buff, and beige in lovely ways lately. Accordingly, today's trend report is dedicated to the discussion of new nudes and the countless ways to wear them!
It would be an understatement to say that the soft neutral had a major presence in the spring shows, as some of the most dynamic fashion houses celebrated the nude look. At Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci turned out capes and frocks (accessories too) in pale flesh tones. Stella McCartney's collection was chock full of delicate shades of flax and beige, while at Chloe, Hannah MacGibbon sent out gorgeously drapey paper-bag pants and scalloped blazers in the prettiest pale peach. We've already seen some of the Chloe pieces in the celebrity stratosphere, specifically on Kate Bosworth. The actress wore an all-Chloe outfit, including an amazing pair of Open Toe Sandals ($690), for a Blackberry Bold launch party in Beverly Hills. We're particularly fond of her scalloped shorts-so simple, so cute.
Off the catwalks, we've noticed that trendsetters tend to punctuate a single nude item with contrasting black pieces. We love the way model Chanel Iman toughened up her bisque Louis Vuitton dress with a little leather moto jacket from Zara and black patent ankle boots for the Louis Vuitton Tribute to Stephen Sprouse after party. The tough-and-tender mix is really chic and is a great way to easily transition into spring. Even Leigh Lezark is embracing the look; the DJ was spotted with a dash of nude in her otherwise all-black outfit at Max Azria's Fall 09 show earlier this month. Lezark slipped on a body-con flesh-toned top, which she wore with a leather jacket, shorts, and pink Max Azria garters.
In addition to these examples, some fashionable ladies are limiting their nudity-if you will-to their accessories. We noticed that Agyness Deyn was an early nudist, of course. She was spotted in a vintage Dior chapeau in the color du jour at Narciso Rodriguez's Spring 09 show. Julia Restoin Roitfeld also jumped on the new nude bandwagon immediately. The French fashion savant sported the much-buzzed-about Givenchy Bow Headband ($305, 312.587.1000) in nude at the Givenchy after-party at Regine's in Paris.
Though we used to be never nudes (not like Tobias Funke, just not fans of the color), now we're a bit obsessed with it. Elizabeth and James just came out with a nude version of their amazing Kimono Dress ($365)-it's the perfect naked frock-while Topshop is stocking an Oversize Slouch Tee ($36) in nude, as well as an awesome Topshop Panel Bodycon Mini Skirt ($44).
Accessories are even more plentiful, as the options abound from head to toe. Starting at the top: if you like the idea of the Givenchy Bow Headband, but not the price, check out Anthropologie's Silk Bouquet Headband ($42). The look is totally different, but cool nevertheless. We also found several noteworthy shoe styles, including Pour La Victoire's Aaliyah Posted Strappy Sandals ($292). We really adore these heels; they're very Alaia-ish, but with a much more budget-friendly price tag! Also notable are Jeffrey Campbell's Lace-Up Peep Toe Shoes ($148), we like their bondage-lite look, as well as the equally cool Loeffler Randall Neve Ankle Boots ($595).

Google is making news with its highly-touted flu tracking project, but when it comes to privacy issues, this may be just the tip of the iceberg.
The new Google Flu Trends function keeps track of nationwide searches involving the flu, with the goal of providing a quick snapshot of which parts of the country are experiencing outbreaks.
On the Flu Trends website, the search engine notes that an early version of this program was used last winter, and was able to provide flu estimates up to two weeks faster than existing Center for Disease Control and Prevention methods.
"In theory at least, this idea can be used for any disease and any health problem," said Dr. Joseph Bresee of the CDC.
Google's flu project does not collect individual user data. However, privacy advocates may be far more concerned by this week's report of a test program in Arizona where patients will be asked to store their medical records on Google and other websites. The goal of this program is to make it easier for patients to provide their records during emergency room visits or when switching doctors.
However, the Arizona Republic points out that the federal HIPAA medical privacy law only applies to actual health care providers, not third parties like Google.

Gresham College: New Gresham Professor of Geometry
Professor John Barrow FRS, the Director of the Millennium Mathematics Project and Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge University, has been appointed the new Gresham Professor of Geometry at Gresham College in London for 2008-2011. Founded in 1596, this is the oldest mathematics professorship in the UK and previous holders include Isaac Barrow, Robert Hooke, and Roger Penrose. John Barrow was Gresham Professor of Astronomy from 2003-7 and is the only person other than Laurence Rooke, in 1657, to hold Gresham chairs in two different subjects.

It is common belief among teachers and parents that when teaching mathematical concepts, the best way to illustrate them is with 'real-world' examples. However, researchers at Ohio State University's Center for Cognitive Science have found the exact opposite — that college students taught a new mathematical concept with real-world, concrete examples were less able to apply their knowledge to new situations than students taught with abstract symbols.Read more...

We're still safe
NASA mathematicians are maintaining that the world is still safe from asteroids for the time being, despite the calculations of a young German student.
The Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has not changed its current estimates for the very low probability (1 in 45,000) of an Earth impact by the asteroid Apophis in 2036.
Contrary to recent press reports, NASA offices involved in near-Earth object research were not contacted and have had no correspondence with a young German student, who claims the Apophis impact probability is far higher than the current estimate.
This student's conclusion reportedly is based on the possibility of a collision with an artificial satellite during the asteroid's close approach in April 2029. However, the asteroid will not pass near the main belt of geosynchronous satellites in 2029, and the chance of a collision with a satellite is exceedingly remote.
Therefore, consideration of this satellite collision scenario does not affect the current impact probability estimate for Apophis, which remains at 1 in 45,000.
This information is adapted from a NASA press release.

Life is good for only two things, both mathematical
Siméon-Denis Poisson (born 21 June 1781 Pithiviers, France; died 25 April 1840 Sceaux, France) was a French mathematician and physicist who once stated:
"Life is good for only two things, discovering mathematics and teaching mathematics."
Poisson was a student of Laplace and Lagrange and achieved highly at a young age, writing a memoir on finite differences at 18 and graduating at 19 without needing to take the final examination. He then moved immediately to the position of repetiteur at Ecole Polytechnique, which was quite an achievement as most top mathematicians had to serve in the provinces before getting a post in Paris.
In 1802, Poisson was named deputy professor and in 1806 he was appointed to the professorship that had been vacated by none other than Fourier. During this period, he studied ordinary and partial differential equations, and in particular their application to physical problems such as the pendulum and the theory of sound.
In 1808, Poisson became an astronomer at Bureau des Longitudes and in 1809 he added the chair of mechanics in Faculte des Sciences to his impressive list of appointments. In 1808 and 1809 Poisson published three important papers, the first investigating mathematical problems raised by Laplace and Lagrange about perturbations of the planets, and the others incorporating developments in Lagrange's method of variation of arbitrary constants which had been inspired by the first of Poisson's three papers. In addition, he published a new edition of Clairaut's Theorie de la figure de la terre, which had first been published in 1743 and confirmed the Newton-Huygens belief that the Earth was flattened at the poles.
In 1811, Poisson won a "Grand Prix" on electricity studies and in 1813 his results regarding the potential in the interior of attracting masses found application in electrostatics. Papers followed on the velocity of sound in gasses, on the propagation of heat, and on elastic vibrations.
It was in his 1837 work Recherches sur la probabilite des jugements en matière criminelle et matière civile that the Poisson probability distribution first appears. This distribution describes the probability that a random event will occur in a time interval when the probability of the event occurring is very small and the number of trials very large.
He published between 300 and 400 mathematical works and his name is associated to a wide variety of ideas including Poisson's integral, Poisson's equation in potential theory, Poisson brackets in differential equations, Poisson's ratio in elasticity, and Poisson's constant in electricity. However, he was not highly regarded by other French mathematicians, with his reputation much higher among foreign mathematicians than his country-folk.
For more on Poisson, see his MacTutor biography. For more information on Poisson distributions and probability, see the Plus articles Blast it like Beckham, and On the ball.

Got what it takes?
The European Space Agency is looking for recruits, and it seems that good mathematical abilities can help you rise to the top of the heap. 50,000 applications are expected for the four positions on offer to be astronauts on the International Space Station.
BBC News Magazine has detailed all the boxes you need to tick to be in the running in their story So what is the right stuff? Apart from being young (between 27 and 37) and having life experience, you need patience, bravery, to work well in a team and in a strange environment, and be psychologically capable of dealing with the stresses (and the loneliness) of the job.
On top of this, you need to be at least degree qualified in engineering, science, medicine or maths. So, if you're a maths grad and this sounds like you, see the ESA careers page.

'Glee' Makes A Somber Return With John Mayer & Elton John
April 10, 2013 5:01 PM
Excitement mounts as the kids of New Directions prep for Regionals. But an unthinkable event at McKinley (the episode is titled "Shooting Star") forces all the members of the glee club to put things into perspective.
With only five episodes left in season four, this week's episode strikes a quiet but sentimental chord. Ryder sounds more like Ewan McGregor than Elton John on the Rocket Man's 1970 piano ballad "Your Song."
With a little plucking of the strings, he coos, "Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen." And you can't help but believe him.

POTSDAM A Potsdam man who claims he falsely was arrested in an alleged incident of road rage has filed paperwork reserving his right to sue the village.
Thomas L. Roberts, 79, of 64 Coon Road, filed a notice with the village to sue for personal damages after being arrested on Sept. 26 and accused of pointing a gun from his vehicle toward another motorist at Maple Street and Clarkson Avenue.
Potsdam police charged Mr. Roberts with second-degree menacing, criminal possession of a weapon with intent to use and failure to obey a traffic control device. Mr. Roberts pleaded not guilty in Village Court on Oct. 4.
Mr. Roberts was scheduled to reappear in that court on Nov. 1; however, that has been adjourned to an unspecified date.
A notice of clam is required to be served within 90 days of the incident to commence a civil lawsuit, according to the General Municipal Law. Mr. Roberts has one year and 90 days from the date of his arrest to bring his lawsuit.
Mr. Roberts claims he did not have a gun in his possession that day and says he wrongfully was charged after an inadequate investigation by the Village Police Department.
Potsdam officials declined comment about the notice of claim filed by Mr. Roberts.
This is just a claim, not yet a lawsuit. I guess we will just have to wait and see how this evolves, Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis said.
Mr. Roberts is being represented by Canton law firm Nash, Palm & LeMay. Calls for comment from the firm were not returned.

Geography | Government | History
The five Maltese islands—Malta, Gozo, Comino, Comminotto, and Filflawith—have a combined land area smaller than Philadelphia. Malta is located in the Mediterranean Sea, about 60 mi (97 km) south of the southeast tip of Sicily.
The strategic importance of Malta was recognized by the Phoenicians, who occupied it, as did, in turn, the Greeks, Carthaginians, and Romans. The apostle Paul was shipwrecked there in A.D. 60. With the division of the Roman Empire in A.D. 395, Malta was assigned to the eastern portion dominated by Constantinople. Between 870 and 1090, it came under Arab rule. In 1091, the Norman noble Roger I, then ruler of Sicily, came to Malta with a small retinue and defeated the Arabs. The Knights of St. John (Malta), who obtained the three habitable Maltese islands of Malta, Gozo, and Comino from Charles V in 1530, reached their highest fame when they withstood an attack by superior Turkish forces in 1565. Napoléon seized Malta in 1798, but the French forces were ousted by British troops the next year, and British rule was confirmed by the Treaty of Paris in 1814.
Independence and EU Accession
Malta suffered heavy attacks by German and Italian aircraft during World War II, but was never invaded by the Axis powers. It became an independent nation on Sept. 21, 1964, and a republic on Dec. 13, 1974, but it remained in the British Commonwealth. In 1979, when its alliance with Great Britain ended, Malta sought to guarantee its neutrality through agreements with other countries. Although Malta applied for membership in the European Union, the Labour Party, after winning the election in Oct. 1996, froze Malta's EU application and withdrew from the NATO Partnership for Peace program in an effort to maintain its neutrality. When the Nationalist Party won the Sept. 1998 elections, however, it revived the EU accession bid, and in May 2004 Malta joined the EU. In July 2005, Malta ratified the proposed EU constitution. The ruling Nationalist Party was narrowly reelected in March 2008, ensuring Gonzi a second term as prime minister.
2013 General Election Brings Change
On March 9, 2013, Malta held its general election. The Labour Party won 39 seats in the House of Representatives, where 35 seats are needed for a majority. Therefore, the Labour Party defeated the Nationalist Party, which had been in power for the last 15 years. The Labour Party won with a 36,000 vote margin, a landslide in Malta.
On March 11, 2013, Labour Party leader Joseph Muscat took office as prime minister. Previously, from 2004 to 2008, he had been a member of the European Parliament. He was leader of the opposition from October 2008 through the 2013 election.
Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca was nominated to succeed George Abela as Malta's ninth president on March 1, 2014. After Parliament unanimously elected her, Preca took office on April 4. At the age of 55, she became the youngest president and the second woman after former President Agatha Barbara.

A Wood County man is free on bond after a search of an Elm Tree Drive residence, the second of its kind in six months. But he could be facing more charges.
Under suspicion is Alan Keith Philpot, who was arrested Thursday on misdemeanor warrants charging him with driving on a revoked license.
But more charges may be forthcoming, based on what agents found at the residence.
A search warrant was executed just before noon Thursday by Wood County sheriff's deputies along with Parkersburg police, West Virginia state police and the drug task force.
It followed a raid last november at the same location, during which an estimated 30 guns were confiscated.
"Two stolen vehicles were recovered...and more weapons, two shotguns, a rifle, a handgun...as well as suspected bath salts, an amount of marijuana, and also some pills," said Sgt. Shawn Graham of the sheriff's office. "There's been an ongoing investigation into bath salt and drug distribution in our community, and that was the purpose of today's search warrant."
Philpot, who is out on bond, has pending drug and firearm charges from an arrest after last November's search.
Graham says a dog at the residence which aggresively charged at the officers was shot and killed.
Two other men who arrived at the residence while the search was still going on were arrested and jailed on unrelated charges.
