When a person undergoes an ostomy surgery they experience the anxiety and distress associated with a sudden and significant alteration in elimination function and self-image. Frequently, the person with a new ostomy feels alone when trying to adapt to the alteration in body habits and lifestyle. A patient support group is one strategy for easing the anxiety and sense of isolation associated with an ostomy.
Because of the current healthcare system, patients with ostomies are often discharged from the hospital earlier than ever, often before they are physically or psychologically ready to learn to care for the ostomy, or before the skills can be mastered through adequate practice.
The support group offers the opportunity to speak with a person with a wider range of experience with an ostomy. Advice, information and emotional support can be gained from people who have gone through a similar experience, and to improve their skills in managing the ostomy. Because the information and support comes from someone who has "lived through the experience," it may be more trusted than that provided by a health professional.
Generally, Ostomy Support Group meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at 1 p.m. in conference room C. If you have an ostomy or a family member with an ostomy, whether recent or not and would be interested in participating in a support group, there will be a meeting on August 21. For questions or more information, contact Karen Cole, RN, BSN, CWOCN, CDE at 713-5181.

This news piece by NBC Today more closely examines testing and treatment, and features UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center researcher Dr. Patricia Ganz discussing the link between age, a hereditary predisposition gene and early detection.

A totally captivating magical comedy routine that's enjoyed by children and adults alike! Great for stage work, but can also be performed in close quarters, and surrounded.
Let a spectator choose a card from the deck by removing it, looking at it, and replacing it into the deck. Introduce the magical card duck, who has special powers- the duck can instantly find the chosen card, even though it is buried in the deck. Place the deck in the card holder in front of the duck, and suddenly the duck springs forward, puts her beak on the deck, and springs back with the selected card firmly gripped in her bill! This is a time tested favorite that gets a great reaction every time!
And you'll get TWO MagicTricks.com Exclusive Bonuses! We will include a free Svengali Deck to give you an automatic way to force the card for this trick. Of course, if you know how to force a card, you can use any deck. And look below to watch a FREE video that will teach you an easy way to force a card using an ordinary deck!
Guaranteed First Quality! Peter Monticup says- BEWARE OF CHEAPER MODELS! The Card Duck needs to work correctly every time for you. Other models are not made with this kind of precision, and will often fail to pick the card out of the box, forcing you to try and try again to make it work- during your show! Avoid embarrassment! This particular Card Duck is built with the best craftsmanship, so it works correctly. It's the model that I use in my own shows. I won't use any other model, and I won't sell any other model to you!
History and Trivia: Magician and magic dealer L.L. Ireland developed and marketed the first commercially successful version of the Card Duck.
Interested in magic history? Visit our free online Magic Library, full of biographies of famous magicians plus lots of magic history and trivia!
If you are performing card tricks for children, you might use the Alphabet Card Deck, which have the letters of the alphabet in bold print on the faces, rather than the regular card suits. Children may not know one playing card from another, but they certainly know the alphabet!
And that's all you need!Duck is made of painted wood. About 12" long and 6" high.

Comments about Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket (Men's):
This is a super-lightweight jacket. It lacks side pockets, inner mesh, or pit zips. Not the most durable material, but it takes up little room in your pack and will keep you dry when you need it. Also, the inner coating on this jacket has a bit of a rubbery feel to it, as compared to Goretex Packlight or the new Polartec material, but if the price is right, I'd still recommend it. Great customer service from Rock/Creek on this, as they replaced my original gray/limon Hellium II jacket after the zipper prematurely went on it. I see the zipper on this updated Helium II has been improved, so I'm happy with it.

Comments about Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket (Men's):
I strictly bought this jacket because a waterproof jacket is a required item for a race. I have never been a big fan of waterproof jackets just because they are usually bulky and hot; and I like to stay as comfortable as possible trail running. I was completely thrown when I tried this out on a cold, wet, windy 20 mile run on the Duncan Ridge Trail! The weather was beautiful at the base, but then we entered in a cold fog with spouts of rain. This jacket is awesome! It kept me completely dry and warm throughout the entire day! I run with a Salomon Slab XT5 pack (a small running vest) and it easily packed inside without any problem. I recommend this to any trail runner that needs a light jacket!

Comments about Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket (Men's):
Awesome jacket! I've used it camping and hiking, and it's held up to rain and snow here in the Rockies. It's surprisingly good against the wind, and it's stowable. This thing will get thrown in every pack I ever put together from now on. It's a must have essential in the backcountry, especially if you're wanting to go ultralight.

Comments about Outdoor Research Helium II Jacket (Men's):
In spring and summer camping where occasional wind and rain showers seem to come out of nowhere.This jacket is my weapon of choice against whatever mother nature can throw at you.

If you find yourself immediately captivated by Jennifer Missoni, let us be the first to tell you that you're not alone. As longtime admirers of the utterly fabulous Missoni women, we've been fascinated with the Italian-born, up-and-coming actress for sometime now-and for good reason! In addition to having some seriously good genes (she's the daughter of Luca Missoni) and a budding acting career (she recently played a tough W magazine editor on Gossip Girl), the 26-year-old has an arsenal of enviable ensembles. Her sophisticated and endlessly chic approach to fashion-which typically consists of simple-yet-elegant pieces infused with a subtle dose of glamour-is quite notable, and the result is always fresh and exciting. There's no doubt Missoni's innate sense of style is deserving of the spotlight, making her the perfect subject for today's Girl of the Month story.
While Missoni can pull off an array of looks, it didn't take long for us to notice her predilection for simple and short silhouettes. For example, she turned up at a Met Gala after-party back in May wearing a nude vintage Alaia mini dress (Top, left). Though the frock's neutral hue and minimalist design is understated, her stylish accessories-Jimmy Choo's Lance Heels ($695) in Gold and a Missoni printed clutch-elevate the whole look, making it feel a bit more glamorous and noteworthy. A month earlier, at a Vogue party celebrating the launch of Missoni for Havaianas' limited edition collection in New York, we spotted the brunette beauty in a similar unfussy and elegant combo, which consisted of a bright turquoise Missoni dress paired with an interestingly-detailed vintage clutch from Melet Mercantile and the same metallic gold Jimmy Choo sandals (Center). Not surprisingly, she also looks amazing in a bold print, as she showed us at the opening of the Wooster Street Social Club in New York two months ago (Bottom, right). We love her bright Eight Sixty floral mini dress and white Miu Miu strappy sandals, and were particularly pleased with her decision to incorporate a vintage bomber jacket to give the feminine evening look an unexpectedly cool finish.
It's also worth noting that even Missoni's casual attire is thoughtfully constructed and polished. Just take, for example, the outfit she wore to the Lulu Frost and The Collective Summer In The City party in New York last month (Top, right). Missoni constructed an easygoing, warm-weathered party look by styling a floral-print Tucker blouse with Siwy denim cutoffs and silver bow-bedecked Marc Jacobs gladiator sandals. The flowy, long-sleeved top balances the fitted shorts, resulting in a perfectly proportional look.
With Missoni's affinity for clean silhouettes and interesting accents in mind, we've sourced a handful of products that not only share her refined and chic sensibilities, but also happen to be spot-on picks for fall. Read on for all the details and find out how you can emulate Missoni's impeccable style with ease!
Dries Van Noten Beaded Clutch ($1271, 212.753.7300)
Missoni's bag of choice is a visually interesting clutch, so finding a fabulous option for today's story was absolutely crucial! Our reason for selecting Dries van Noten's Beaded Clutch is simple: its design is sophisticated and chic, just like Missoni, not to mention the fact that we think she'd be drawn to the bag's tribal-inspired beaded design. Whether you're headed to an afternoon luncheon or a fancy date, this clutch is an excellent choice for a number of occasions, making it an investment-worthy purchase indeed!
Missoni for Target V-Neck Combo Chiffon Sweater ($45, 800.800.8800) in Blue Multi
Mark your calendars, dear readers, because the Missoni for Target collection hits stores September 13th, and this is one collaboration you don't want to miss! We've already got our eye on a few things, including the zig-zag print shawl cardigan and totally cute beach cruiser, but our favorite item is definitely the V-Neck Combo Chiffon sweater, and we think our style subject would agree! It's a standout option for sure, thanks to its slightly sheer fabric and mix of signature bright Missoni prints. Even better: this lightweight sweater is an excellent transitional piece! Wear it now with a pair of denim cutoffs a la Missoni, then style it with a chic coat when the temperatures begin to cool down.
H&M Shorts ($35), 310.855.9683) in Peach
Oh how we adore these little shorts from H&M. We're totally smitten with the peachy hue, which can easily punch up a neutral ensemble, and we're positive Missoni would approve of the clean and simple silhouette too. We suggest wearing them with a white button-up blouse and heels for the office, or if you're feeling a bit daring, wearing it with an equally bright top for an eye-popping colorblock look.
3.1 Phillip Lim Regine Heels ($750, available August 22nd) in Pewter
Our footwear selection for today's story was obvious: 3.1 Phillip Lim's Regine Heels. With an of-the-moment pewter hue, cool braided detailing along the front and back, and delicate ankle straps, these killer heels are perfect in keeping with our subject's glamorous sensibilities.
Day Birger et Mikkelsen Day Tribe Set of Three Bangles ($110)
In case you hadn't noticed, Missoni tends to favor minimalist pieces, and the same goes for her jewelry as well. As such, we think this trio of bangles by Day Birger et Mikkelsen would be the perfect finish to her more streamlined looks. Each bracelet has a unique shape and design that exudes an uptown elegance, so wear all three stacked together or on their own for an equally chic result.
Dior Vernis Nail Lacquer ($22) in Psychedelic Orange
If you're anything like us and can't get enough of spring's vivid nail polishes, you'll be happy to know the gurus over at Dior beauty have created some additional bright shades for fall! That's right, the new Vernis Nail Lacquer collection features a number of amplifying hues, including Psychedelic Orange, a fun pinkish-orange hue that would look amazing on every skin tone.
Zara Sleeveless Dress ($80, 323.935.5041) in Teal
We're currently obsessed with Zara's fall collection, as it's filled with affordable, on-trend pieces like this amazing green sleeveless dress! Not only does the classic silhouette speak to Missoni's less-is-more approach to dressing, but it's also a nod to the '60s-inspired mod look that is happening right now. Go ahead and mark this one as a "must-buy immediately" piece!-Jessica Baker

Warren Dominates as Baseball Collects First BIG EAST Win, 2-0
OMAHA, Neb. - Sophomore Matt Warren authored the first complete game for Creighton baseball since 2012 as the Bluejays earned their first BIG EAST win, 2-0, over Georgetown on Friday, April 11.
The win lifted Creighton to 16-11-1 on the season and 1-0 in the BIG EAST, while Georgetown fell to 12-18 and 0-4 in conference play.
The only offense of the game came in the bottom of the fifth as junior Jake Peter lifted a two-run triple into the left field corner, plating freshman Nicky Lopez and sophomore Ryan Fitzgerald who had each walked in the frame.
Warren, however, was the story of the game. The Omaha native limited Georgetown to just two hits in his first complete game and first shutout as a Bluejay. Warren walked four and recorded two strikeouts in the effort, needing just 106 pitches for his seventh win (7-0) of the season and eighth consecutive over two years.
The Hoyas only real threat came in the eighth as Warren worked around two walks with an inning-ending ground out from Nick Collins.
While Georgetown had just two hits as Fitzgerald and senior Mike Gerber joined Peter with one hit in the contest.
Creighton and Georgetown will play a doubleheader on Saturday, April 12 beginning at 12 pm to wrap up the series. Originally scheduled to begin at 2 pm, the Bluejays and Hoyas moved up Saturday's first game in hopes of avoiding foretasted rain on Sunday, April 13.
NOTES: Warren's effot is the first complete game since Ty Blach blanked Indiana State and May 22, 2012 ... Warren also became the first Bluejay since Blach to author a nine-inning shutout did so on the same day ... Friday's one hour and 52 minute game was the fastest contest at home since the Bluejays defeated North Dakota in the same time on March 14, 2013, that game however was at the CU Sports Complex ... Friday's contest was the just one minute longer that the shortest game played at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha as Creighton defeated Louisiana Tech, 3-1, on March 14, 2012.

Poetic Internet: Synthesizing Painting and Drawing
A primary concern in Suzanne Guppy's work is interconnectivity. The drawings analyze complex natural motifs and search for interconnections in nature. The paintings are almost the opposite -- constructed motifs with only a few items arranged on a table. However, the subject is the same: the network of connections between the objects and the space they are in.

Softball Falls to UT Arlington 3-0
Creighton (8-6) struggled at the plate in the contest against UT Arlington (8-7) starter Teri Lyles. Junior Blair Lowe connected on the Bluejays' only hit of the contest, an infield single, in the bottom of the sixth.
Junior Becca Changstrom started in the circle for Creighton.
After a scoreless first inning, UT Arlington opened the scoring in the top of the second frame. A one-out double down the left field line and a Creighton error followed by an RBI-single allowed UT Arlington to take a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the inning.
The host Mavericks doubled their lead in the top of the fourth. Lyles drew a one-out walk. A pair of Creighton errors allowed the run to score to put UTA up 2-0.
The final run of the game came in the UTA fifth. After a single to begin the inning, a pair of sacrifice bunts moved the runner to third before an RBI-single scored the final tally of the game.
Changstrom fell to 5-3 this season with the loss.
Besides the hit by Lowe, the Jays left four runners on base after drawing three walks in the contest.
Creighton resumes play next weekend at the Rebel Spring Games in Kissimmee, Fla., beginning March 9. The Bluejays open with a doubleheader against Saint Francis (Pa.) and North Dakota Saturday as part of an eight-game set spanning five days.

Solar spectral stumper
It's again time for one of those puzzling results that if they turn out to be true, would have some very important implications and upset a lot of relatively established science. The big issue of course is the "if". The case in question relates to some results published this week in Nature by Joanna Haigh and colleagues. They took some 'hot off the presses' satellite data from the SORCE mission (which has been in operation since 2003) and ran it through a relatively complex chemistry/radiation model. These data are measurements of how the solar output varies as a function of wavelength from an instrument called "SIM" (the Spectral Irradiance Monitor).
It has been known for some time that over a solar cycle, different wavelengths vary with different amplitudes. For instance, Lean (2000) showed that the UV component varied by about 10 times as much as the total solar irradiance (TSI) did over a cycle. This information (and subsequent analyses) have lent a lot of support to the idea that solar variability changes have an important amplification via changes in stratospheric ozone (Shindell et al (2001), for instance). So it is not a novel finding that the SIM results in the UV don't look exactly like the TSI. What is a surprise is that for the visible wavelengths, SIM seems to suggest that the irradiance changes are opposite in sign to the changes in the TSI. To be clear, while the TSI has decreased since 2003 (as part of the descent into the current solar minimum), SIM seems to indicate that the UV decreases are much larger than expected, while irradiance in visible bands has actually increased! This is counter to any current understanding of what controls irradiance on solar cycle timescales.
What are the implications of such a phenomena? Well, since the UV portion of the solar input is mostly absorbed in stratosphere, it is the visible and near-IR portions of the irradiance change that directly influence the lower atmosphere. Bigger changes in the UV also imply bigger changes in stratospheric ozone and temperature, and this influences the tropospheric radiative forcing too. Indeed, according to Haigh's calculations, the combination of the two effects means that the net radiative forcing at the tropopause is opposite in sign to the TSI change. So during a solar minimum you would expect a warmer surface!
Much of the longer term variance in solar output has been hypothesised to follow what happens over the solar cycle and so if verified, this result would imply that all current attributions to solar variability of temperature changes in the lower atmosphere and surface ocean would be of the wrong sign. Mechanisms elucidated in multiple models from multiple groups would no longer have any validity. It would be shocking stuff indeed.
Conceivably, there might be another missing element (such as a cosmic-ray/cloud connection) that would counteract this physics and restore the expected sign of the change, but no-one has succeeded in finding any mechanism that would quantitatively give anything close the size of effect that would now be required (see our previous posts on the subject).
So is this result likely to be true? In my opinion, no. The reason why has nothing to do with problems related to the consequences, but rather from considerations of what the SIM data are actually showing. This figure gives a flavour of the issues:

As we all know, the public schools are controlled by people on the radical left. How far left are they? The Association of Teacher Educators has invited unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers to be a keynote speaker at their annual meeting this February. These are the people who educate our teachers! If we conservatives want to take back the schools, we must finally decide that enough is enough and begin planning a serious strategy for victory.
But you might ask: Why should conservatives want to take control of the government schools? Shouldn't we want to get the government out of the education business? Yes, of course. But let's be realistic. Parents have the freedom to homeschool their own children, but 85 to 90 percent of American children are still in the government schools, where they are being dumbed down and abused by the radical Left who wants to turn them into liberal Democrats.
My contention is that these children deserve to be saved from our nihilist schools by conservatives who know how these children are being cynically used to keep the Left in power in perpetuity. And of course we know that we cannot take back the schools from the top. The radical left owns the schools lock, stock, and barrel, and no conservative is allowed any power to change anything the Left doesn't want in the education establishment. So we must start at the bottom, and this can be done by encouraging young conservatives to run for school boards as a start of their political careers. Then we must create an Association of Conservative School Board Members.
The left took control of our schools because they were organized and had a well-thought-out plan implemented by John Dewey and his progressive associates. Dewey concocted his plan in 1898 and said that it had to be implemented gradually or else parents would rise up against it. We must do the same. But we need not do it gradually, for what we advocate is exactly what most parents want.

Carbon County residents may still receive influenza vaccinations at Southeastern Utah Health District in Price during regular clinic hours. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday from 9:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
The health district will continue to administer the immunizations until the supply of influenza vaccine is depleted.
Priority groups include children 6 to 23 months of age, adults 65 years of age or older, persons with chronic medical conditions, residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities, youth 6 months to 18 years of age on long-term aspirin therapy; health workers with direct patient care.
For additional information, residents may contact the health district at 637-3671.
The abundance of snow has created a removal challenge for Price city's street department crews.
Addressing the situation, Price officials pointed out that Main Street, 100 North, 100 South and the connecting roadways within the city serve as the hub of the local community, pointed out Price officials.
In order to provide motorists and pedestrians with clear access from curb to curb along the streets in question, city officials encourage Carbon County residents to refrain from parking motor vehicles along the roadways during the hours of 3 a.m. to 7 a.m.
The city's street department will schedule crews and plows to remove snow from the streets.
East Carbon's Volunteers in Service to America members will host a play day in the snow for local residents on Jan. 12.
The event will be presented Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at East Carbon's Viking Park.
VISTA volunteers will be on hand with marshmallows to roast at the fire pit, which is located by the volleyball courts.
Hot chocolate will also be served to youngsters and adults participating in the activity.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a sled or, if so inclined, be prepared to make a snowman or a snow angel.
People participating in the wintertime activity should bring a roasting stick for the marshmallows, pointed out the winter event organizers.

Members of the Sunnyside Voluinteer Fire Department show their recently-awarded state certification.
Officials in East Carbon and Sunnyside continue to go where no city leaders have dared to tread before, a combined public safety department for both cities. For several years, the sister townships have discussed combining their fire departments, only to allow one issue or another to derail the project.
Recently however Sunnyside's worsening financial situation and new attitudes among East Carbon officials seems to have breathed new life into creating a local fire district.
After gaining the approval of his own council to approach East Carbon, Sunnyside city Mayor Doug Parsons approached East Carbon officials during their Tuesday meeting to request that a board be formed to work through the details of creating a shared district between the cities.
"At this time I think it should be feasible to combine both fire departments and the ambulance service into one district to serve the residents of the Sunnyside and East Carbon area," said Parsons during the East Carbon council session. "My proposal would be to see if we can set up a committee from East Carbon and Sunnyside to see what needs to be done in order to get this accomplished."
Parsons has been working on this over the past few weeks as he both gained permission from his own council to approach East Carbon and discussed the matter with the Carbon County Commission.
Parsons was in front of the commission this week to seek funds which would subsidize the Sunnyside ambulance. While the commissioners did provide $15,000 in assistance, they were reportedly enthusiastic about the cities combining their efforts where fire and ambulance services are concerned. Sunnyside officials have long contended that the ambulance service is a difficult financial burden for the residents of Sunnyside.With their largest taxpayer, Sunnyside Co-Gen, contesting their current tax payment, the city has reached a breaking point.
"It's very expensive to run an ambulance service out of a city our size," explained Parsons. "We budget over $100,000 a year for the ambulance, we don't spend that much annually but we did lose $20,000 last year and that was on top of the county giving us $15,000."
According to the mayor, if Sunnyside Co-Gen is granted a reduction in their taxes the city will have to cut into its budget and general fund.
"I feel that the residents of Sunnyside have supported the ambulance for a long time and don't get me wrong, we want to keep the service here," said Parsons. "But you know the few residents of Sunnyside cannot support maintaining the ambulance."
Reportedly, if a district was to be formed between the two cities, taxes would be taken in a different manner to fund the organization and a referendum vote would have to be held to decide on the change.
"At this point, we are losing money by bumping heads over funding for the fire department," said East Carbon council member David Maggio, who sat in as mayor pro tem during Tuesday's session. "I believe the time has come and we do need to form a committee."
Maggio recommended that the cities gather the mayor, one council member and the fire chiefs from both cities to come together and work toward forming the district.
While there was no objection to forming the committee, council member Darrell Valdez did ask the citys attorney about the cost of forming a district.
"We are facing the inevitable here," said Maggio in response to Valdez's inquiry. "When somebody dies here we aren't getting them replaced. We have only a couple hundred residents in Sunnyside and well under 2,000 here in East Carbon and when it comes to getting funding there is strength in numbers."
The council did approve organizing the committee and hopes to have the district formed by the drafting of next year's budget.

Fall's fifties redux trend is definitely one of the biggest looks you must master this season. But while a certain sort of prim femininity ruled the runwaysÂ--like an iron hand in a velvet gloveÂ--with circle skirts, wasp-waist dresses, and ladylike heels galore, sometimes, you don't want to look like a lady. Happily for everyone who feels like getting in touch with her rebellious side, a handful of designers gave us some excellent options that are perfect for channeling your inner vamp. Even better: we realized that the spirit of said looks is perfectly epitomized by of one of our favorite movies, John Waters' cult classic Cry-Baby.
If you haven't seen Waters' 1990 musical, you need to put it in your Netflix queue immediately. Set in Baltimore in 1954, the film focuses on Johnny Depp's character Wade WalkerÂ--otherwise known as "Cry Baby"Â--and his rebellious friends. The gang, which is called the "Drapes," stands out for two reasons: creating turmoil within their conservative town and their outfits, which are comprised of stylish body-hugging pencil skirts, revealing tops, leather jackets, and greaser hairstyles. (The whole look is very much like Isabel Marant's fall collection!) The movie is Waters' take on the classic Romeo and Juliet story, as Cry Baby falls in love with the opposition, good girl and "Square" Allison Vernon-Williams, as played by Amy Locane. While the plot itself is exactly what you might expectÂ--lots of Drapes vs. Squares action and lovers torn apart/reunitedÂ--the wardrobe is ridiculously fun and totally perfect for fall. And, if you need more reasons to view this gem, consider the following: Ricki Lake, Traci Lords, and Iggy Pop are all in the film! The cast is cool and the clothing is completely currentÂ--no wonder we're Currently Channeling: Cry-Baby!
Theory Electra Leather Motorcycle Jacket ($845)
Nothing evokes that bad-girl vibe more than black leather clothing. That said, simply donning this Theory motorcycle jacket would land you in the Drapes gangÂ--no questions askedÂ--even if you're a play-by-the-rules kind of girl. Movie mentions aside, we think the tough zipper details and soft leather are sure to lend any outfit an undeniably rebellious streak.
Ray-Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses ($145) in RB3016
While some cat-eye frames suggest a prim and polished style, we like how these Ray-Ban sunglasses offer an edgier, more masculine take on the trend. Not only do these retro shades give off a counter-culture vibe, the red trim also provides an unexpected pop of the season's hottest colorÂ--redÂ--making them the perfect fall accessory.
Coach Lexington Elongated Case Watch ($283)
The bad-girl look is not particularly accessory-heavy, which is why we thought this Coach watch would work as an appropriate addition to any sleek, fifties-inspired ensemble. With its stainless steel bezel and simple tank shape, this timepiece is anything but girly. The black patent strap would pair well with your biker jacket for a night out, though it's elegant enough to work with a more subdued daytime look too.
J Brand 7/8 Low Rise Cropped Pencil Leg Jeans ($158) in Ink
The cropped jean seen on Isabel Marant's F/W 10 runway made us swoon over the return of the pedal pusherÂ--albeit a cooler, more stylish version of that abbreviated silhouette! These cropped jeans from J Brand are dead ringers for the Marant ones, and, since the price point is much lower, they won't break the bank. We think they would look just right with a fitted leather jacket and a pair of kitten heels.
Joe's Jeans Spectrum Belt ($58) in Rust
As you know, red is the color of the season, especially for accessories like handbags and shoes. A bold belt is another excellent way to work this must-wear color into your outfit, as it will update any ensemble and draw attention to standout pieces. Accordingly, we were excited to find this crimson option from Joe's Jeans, which would add just the right amount of intrigue to a pair of cropped jeans.
American Eagle Outfitters Chunky Knit Short Sleeve Sweater ($39.50) in Heather Gray
If you are looking for a chunky knit top this fallÂ--as you should beÂ--let us suggest this short-sleeved style from American Eagle. Its snug fit is ideal for creating your own pinup "sweater girl" look, plus we adore the neutral heather gray shade and sweet cap-sleeve silhouette.
Giuseppe Zanotti Leopard-Print Calf Hair Pumps ($595)
Although the kitten-heel craze may make us stiletto-lovers a little unsure, we just might get on the (slightly) lower-heeled bandwagon with this pair from Giuseppe Zanotti. The leopard print on these 3.5-inch heels is practically perfect; we can't wait to take walk on the wild side with them!
MAC Fabulous Felines Leopard Luxe Superslick Liquid Eye Liner ($17.50) in Marked for Glamour
Another must for any fabulous fifties femme is a killer cat-eye, and what better way to achieve that feline style than with this new product from MAC? We tried it recently and fell in love with the formula immediately: after it dries (15 seconds after you apply it), it still looks wet, which is just ridiculously cool and sexy. Try all the different shades, we have a feeling you'll buy multiple colors!
Marc by Marc Jacobs Two Tone Patent-Leather Loafers ($295)
While the attitude-driven runway looks involve pointy heels, why not go for Cry-Baby-inspired authenticity with cool pair of flats instead? These black and white patent leather loafers are super fresh and definitely an unexpected choice. We think Depp would approve: we certainly do!
Tory Burch Checkmates Scarf ($195)
While Cry-Baby's characters probably sported scarves to cover up their hickies, you won't need a reason to wear this geometric-print iteration from Tory Burch. It's so cute, you're sure to find yourself reaching for it time and time again, as it provides the perfect perk to any outfit! Â--additional writing by Natalie Yost

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — An old Wall Street adage says that time in the stock market beats timing the market. But in 2012, both of those strategies worked.
Many stock investors believe that 2013 will be their lucky number. They point to a menu of research reports lauding corporate America's relatively strong financial shape and the prospects for the U.S. economy's steady, however slow, growth. By this logic, even holders of low-yielding bonds can expect a steady road for non-government debt, as long as the Federal Reserve holds the line on short-term interest rates.

That said, this bull market turns four years old in March — well-past the two-and-a-half year historical average for U.S. bull runs. Accordingly, next year the major market action may be outside of the U.S. Heading into 2013, the euro zone seems to have priced in its economic troubles for now, and Asia appears to be the growth engine of a global economy that is still debt-laden and disturbingly weak.
Some strategists in fact see non-U.S. stock markets, including the austere euro zone, besting U.S. equities in 2013. That's saying a lot, given predictions for the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500-stock index SPX, -0.68% to hit 1550 or perhaps 1600 (a record high) a year from now — an advance that would range between 7% and 11%, respectively, from the Dec. 20 close.
"Corporations have delivered the goods," says Bob Turner, a veteran growth-stock investor and chief investment officer of mutual-fund firm Turner Investments. "Economic growth continues, moving forward, and corporations in the U.S. and globally are managing effectively."
Yet looking ahead, investors would do well to remember the words of legendary American sports columnist William "Blackie" Sherrod, who said that "History must repeat itself because we pay such little attention to it the first time." The coming year surely will be much like any other, with geopolitical conflicts and conflicted outlooks that will challenge investors' resolve.
Before getting to 2013's recommendations, let's see how MarketWatch's 10 investment ideas for 2012 fared: Pretty well, actually, given the surging S&P 500.
Many of the picks MarketWatch made in January, based on recommendations and research from investment professionals, turned in solid double-digit and high-single-digit gains.
For example, high-quality dividend-paying stocks and corporate bonds, along with real-estate investment trusts, European stocks and small-cap stocks, all delivered positive performances. While several recommendations — notably gold — lagged the S&P 500's 17.4% gain for the year through Dec. 20, they did a good job diversifying portfolios. Read more about our 2012 investment ideas.
Which investments are poised for a strong 2013 showing? Here are 10 portfolio moves to consider:
1. Mega-cap stocks go big
"The new leadership within the equity market is mega caps," Mary Ann Bartels, technical research analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, wrote in a recent research report.
Mega caps — the top 50 U.S. companies by market value — are "reversing a bear trend that had been in place since 2000," Bartels adds. "This reversal signals a new secular bull market is underway for the top 50, or mega caps."
The U.S. market's giants also have considerable foreign sales exposure, which favors them should non-U.S. economies shine brightest. Exchange-traded proxies for the group include Guggenheim Russell Top 50 Mega Cap ETF XLG, -0.57% and iShares S&P 100 Index Fund OEF, -0.54% . Both portfolios' top-three holdings are Apple Inc., AAPL, +0.17% Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, -0.18% and General Electric Co. GE, -0.78% , but the iShares fund, with 100 issues, is less concentrated.
"The bigger, the better," says Paul Nolte, managing director at investment manager Dearborn Partners. "If we do wind up with a slowdown, a lot of these companies can withstand that."
2. High-quality companies stay qualified
The definition of "quality" in this bull market is a large company with strong finances, visible earnings growth and a global footprint. A dividend makes the stock even more attractive.
High-quality stocks are "quite inexpensive," Savita Subramanian, Bank of America Merrill Lynch equity and quantitative strategist, noted in a recent research report. Plus, she adds, "industry leaders with clean balance sheets in a wide variety of sectors rank well on the quality scale." Top-flight firms on Merrill's list include PepsiCo Inc. PEP, -1.23% , IBM Corp. IBM, -1.01% and Caterpillar Inc. CAT, -0.47%
Quality plus growth equals stability, adds Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. "When things become more uncertain, investors tend to place a higher premium on areas of the market delivering consistent results," he noted in a recent research report. Stocks rated "outperform" on BMO's quality screen include Google Inc. GOOG, +0.87% , Starbucks Inc. SBUX, -0.63% and Gap Inc. GPS, -0.48% Read more about Belski's money moves.
3. Dividend growth pays off
"Dividends still matter," Nolte says. "There remains a lack of good choices for income investors," he adds. Ultimately this quest for yield leads to stocks. Moreover, investors have no dearth of dividend-payers: 80% of the S&P 500 constituents now pay a dividend. Nolte's favorites include multinational leaders Caterpillar Inc., Novartis AG NVS, -1.44% , IBM and McDonald's Corp. MCD, +0.14%
That said, investors should focus on the business, not the yield. A high yield can reflect a poor-quality company, a troubled stock, and a dividend that could be in jeopardy.
Look instead for companies with a record of dividend growth, suggesting they are generating ever-larger amounts of cash to hand to shareholders. A broad proxy for the strategy is the exchange-traded SPDR S&P Dividend ETF SDY, -0.61% , which tracks an index based on the S&P Dividend Aristocrats — companies hiking dividends for at least 25 consecutive years.
Be mindful of valuation, too. Dividend-growth stocks aren't undiscovered, and many have been bid up. Says Wally Weitz, a longtime value-stock investor and co-manager of the Weitz Value Fund WVALX, -0.62% : "If you pay too much for a stock just because it pays a dividend, you've still paid too much for a stock."
4. Europe goes up
Euro zone worries for now seem priced into market valuations and expectations. The MSCI Europe ex-U.K. Index, a proxy for the euro zone, rose 19% for the year through Dec. 20.
Moreover, two-thirds of managers responding to the Russell survey, for example, do not see a euro-zone nation exiting the monetary union, and better than half are maintaining current exposure to the continent.

I get a kick out of puns. Good ones. Not the really sad attempts that are just plain dumb. I like the clever ones that you have to think about a bit.
So I thought this week, I'd share some of my favorites. Please...to enjoy.
• The famous general died and his ashes were to be taken to Arlington National Cemetery. All the air lines were booked and there were no other planes available. Someone came up with the idea of using a helicopter. It arrived at 5 a.m. The newspapers reported the incident with "the whirly bird gets the urn."
Lt. Jim Corder of the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office, with approval from Sheriff Morris Young, last week engaged in one of the most humane acts that has occurred in Gadsden County in many years. He was the catalyst behind getting 50 homeless people from Gadsden and Leon counties a warm place to sleep. These people, many of whom fell on hard times because they lost their jobs due to a sluggish economy, would not have had a warm place to lay their heads had the temporary (5 days only) shelter not been open.
Right about now, many people are still holding their heads and thinking, "Why, oh why did I _____ New Year's Eve?" You can fill in the blank.
I've never quite understood that mentality. Why bring in a new year by doing things you're just going to regret? Some would call it celebrating...I call it being irresponsible and just plain stupid. I don't need a "boost" in order to enjoy myself, and I much prefer to remember my celebrations clearly.
Periodically I participate in a ride-along with an officer from law enforcement. It's something that reporters who cover crime do to get a better insight into what officers are facing and what perpetrators are doing.
There have been some changes in the kinds of calls officers are handling and in the types of people who allegedly commit these crimes.
A few years ago I was asked to read a story for a group of elementary school students, as part of a campaign to encourage them to read. It happened to be right before their Christmas holidays, so I read them the following. Hope you enjoy it and Merry Christmas!
Cajun 'Twas the Night Before Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas, an' all t'ru de house,
Dey don't a t'ing pass, not even a mouse.
De chirren been nezzle good snug on de flo',
An' Mama pass de pepper t'ru de crack on de do'.
Here is my wish list for the season. I probably won't get all that I wish for. I never do but there have been many times that things have gone my way. So here is my Christmas wish list:
• That each child who wants to succeed have a mentor who can help him or her reach that goal.
• That battered and abused women will find the courage to say enough is enough and move beyond that relationship.
• That elected officials will put the what's best for everyone above their selfish motives.
As Christmas day approaches, I find myself thinking back to some of my favorite holiday memories. And after my third piece of fruitcake, I feel brave enough to share them with you.
I remember the first Christmas our family had together after my mom and stepdad married. My dad (the step part had faded away by then) bought my mother a new camera, and carefully wrapped it, placed a bow on top and placed it under the Christmas tree.
I didn't send out very many Christmas cards this year and it's not because of the high price of postage or Christmas cards. I didn't have that many addresses. When I sat down to address cards, I only had about 20 addresses.
I ran across this the other day, and I thought it was so appropriate...please...to enjoy.
Wish List for Santa
In a world of greed and fear, Santa is unique.
Everyone likes Santa and thinks he's pretty neat.
So why don't we ask Santa for the things we really need,
Instead of more of the useless junk for which the children plead.
Why don't we ask Santa and the reindeer and the sleigh,
To help us solve the problems which confront the world today?
I don't know when they bought them but I'm glad they did. After decades, the city of Quincy has invested in new holiday lights. They look fabulous, too. Gone are the crusty and matted, once-green garlands that saw better days 10 years ago. Gone are the garish lights that were haphazardly thrown over the magnificent oaks on the courthouse lawn.
Granted, there was a mistake made when the holly trees were hacked last week but everyone involved is sorry. Jack McLean, city manager, immediately acknowledged the mistake and vowed to never let it happen again.

Staff Reports
Craftsbury 33, Mid-Vermont 19
CRAFTSBURY–In an uncharacteristically low-scoring game, the Craftsbury Lady Chargers defeated Mid-Vermont in the first game of a basketball doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.
Staff Reports
Craftsbury 33, Mid-Vermont 19
CRAFTSBURY–In an uncharacteristically low-scoring game, the Craftsbury Lady Chargers defeated Mid-Vermont in the first game of a basketball doubleheader on Saturday afternoon.
"We wanted to play some half-court, grinding defensive games the last three or four games of the season to get ready for the play-offs as we know that is what we are going to be dealing with," said Craftsbury coach Rick Thomas. "I thought our defensive intensity was pretty good. We didn't box out very well, but I thought our perimeter play was quite good and we denied them those looks."
Neither team had a quarter where they hit double digits, with the highest scoring eight minutes of basketball being the first when each team put up eight points.
Craftsbury's Janet Bohannon led all scorers with 12 points, followed by her teammate Megan Pennock, who had 9.
Saturday's game was the final regular season home game for the Lady Chargers, and they honored their four departing seniors, Janet Bohannon, Meghan Pennock, Thalia Thomas and Emma Spiese before the contest.
Said Thomas on his big four, "They have meant everything to us. They have basically developed a system of excellence that we continue to talk about. We don't set goals. We like to set up objectives and develop standards to meet them, and those girls have really been part of the development of this entire process. They have built not just on-court excellence, but standards for behavior in the locker room and standards for behavior in the classroom."
Craftsbury finishes the season in fourth place in Division IV with an impressive 16-1 record, and when the pairings for the post-season are announced today, it looks like they will likely host Black River or Twinfield in the opening round of the play-offs.
Rice 74, No. Country 21
NEWPORT–Saturday was senior day for the North Country Falcon girls as they played host to Rice in their final game of the regular season, and the two Falcon seniors, Hollie Smith and Kelsea Cutting, were honored prior to the start of the contest.
Unfortunately the game was a bit of a rough go for the home team, as they fell to the 2nd ranked Green Knights by a large margin to close out the regular season.
"The good thing about today was that we got to honor two great kids," said NCU coach Christiane Brown. "Hollie and Kelsea have worked extremely hard for us all year. They are both very dedicated and did what ever we needed them to throughout the season, and after the game I really felt for these girls."
MacKenzie Caswell led the Falcons in scoring with 12 points.
North Country ends the regular season at 4-16 and in 16th place in the Metro Division.
They will likely travel to face undefeated CVU in the first round of the play-offs.
Lake Region 64, Lyndon 25
LYNDON CENTER–The Lake Region Lady Rangers closed out their season in fine style, as they picked up their eleventh win of the season to finish the regular season at 11-9.
"We did a great job on the defensive end handling screens and giving weakside help to challenge shots then cleaning up the boards when they missed," said LR coach Joe Houston. "Offensively we are playing confident and aggressive, and when girls are given opportunities they are taking advantage of them."
It was a sluggish start for the Lady Rangers, but Olivia King came off the bench late in the first to provide the spark that got the team going.
Up by 19 at the half, Tyrah Urie scored 11 points in the third to salt the game away.
She would lead her team in scoring with 18 points, followed King and Emily Lawson, who each had 12.
On Thursday night, prior to their 65-36 win over Hazen, the team honored their lone senior Nicole Roy with a pre-game ceremony.
Coach Houston commended Roy for her leadership skills, and her willingness to put team before self, among the other quality attributes she brought to the team this season.
Lake Region's 11-9 record puts them in 6th place, and they should get a home game against Mill River to start the post-season.
"I think we're right where we want to be going into the playoffs, if we continue to play like we have the last two games we should be a tough out," said Houston.
ST. ALBANS–Three pointers were the name of the game for the North Country Falcons during the first three quarter of their game against the BFA Bobwhites.
Rejean Roberge and Tyler Jenne each had three, Matt Duncan had two and Keenan Warner had one.
But a fourth quarter that was spent on the foul line changed the complexion of the game, and in the end that was the difference as BFA came away with the win.
"Our boys played hard, but in the fourth quarter BFA shut us down," said NCU coach Ed Duncan. " We were 8 deep on the bench, missing Charlie Bevins and Chandler Martin. The kids did everything right on the floor and played hard, but the foul shots they made was our downfall."
BFA made 13 free throws in the final quarter to help them improve to 8-9 on the year.
Rejean Roberge had a team-high 15 points, and Tyler Jenne added 13 as North Country drops to 5-12.
Tonight the boys will host Spaulding for their "Pink Out" night.
The team will be raising money for the Halo Foundation, a local organization that helps families that are fighting cancer.
Fans are encouraged to come and not only cheer on the Falcons, but to help support a great cause.
Game time is at 6:30.

DG Research and Innovation's SME Unit reaches out to EU citizens, SMEs Publié le: 01/03/2013, Dernière mise à jour: 04/11/2014
DG Research and Innovation's SME Unit reaches out to EU citizens, SMEs
Samuel Maenhout, policy officer at the SME Unit of the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD), discusses the key role SMEs will play in 2013 and beyond, as well as the strategic communication activities planned by the unit.
'2013 is the European Year of Citizens, and there is a genuine will in the EU to enter into dialogue with citizens about topics that concern them most,' underlines Mr Maenhout. 'Our unit subscribes firmly to this, as we will be reaching out to specific target audiences in a language that they understand via the channels that are theirs.'
SMEs at the forefront of EU's present and future
SMEs are at the heart of Europe 2020, the decade-long strategy which envisions a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy delivering high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion. 'A 2012 survey shows that the chief concerns of Europeans at national level remain unemployment, the economic situation at large and rising prices due to inflation,' he says.
'Throughout the economic downturn, SMEs have continued to be the backbone of the European economy, primarily responsible for wealth and economic growth, alongside their vital role in innovation and R&D,' stresses Mr Maenhout. About 20.7 million firms account for more than 98% of all enterprises, of which the lion's share (over 92%) are firms with fewer than 10 employees. According to the annual report on SMEs in the EU entitled 'EU SMEs in 2012: at the crossroads', it was estimated that SMEs accounted for 67% of total employment and 58% of gross value added.
SMEs translate research results and innovative ideas into products, services and business models that meet market demand and provide solutions to societal challenges. More highly innovative companies are instrumental in helping Europe to exit the crisis and to become a knowledge-based economy. 'The EU's motivation to give a firm boost to SMEs is stronger than ever,' emphasises Mr Maenhout.
2013 marks the build up to the launch of Horizon 2020, the research and innovation (R&I) programme for the period 2014-2020. The successor to the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) intends to fill gaps in funding for high-risk innovation projects by SMEs. As such, it will create business opportunities in response to major societal challenges. In addition, it will strengthen productivity and innovation capacities and help innovative SMEs to grow.
Horizon 2020 seeks to provide much greater support to SMEs through a new dedicated instrument. By bringing together the R&I-related SME measures that are currently spread across several programmes, this instrument will provide one comprehensive and simple scheme adapted to SME needs. Under Horizon 2020, a single SME or a group of SMEs will be able to apply for funds to finance a project of economic and preferably also societal relevance in a user-friendly manner that puts business first. Mr Maenhout explains that a large part of the unit's communication efforts will concentrate on providing details of the application of the new instrument from start (idea/concept design) to finish (commercialisation/go-to-market). Support networks, expert evaluators and coaches will have the opportunity to attend specific events where their potential role will be clarified. According to Mr Maenhout, the particulars about such SME support under Horizon 2020 will gradually become available.
Building bridges via communication actions
2013 in particular will see a stronger emphasis on the importance of innovative SMEs in order to prepare them for the launch and implementation of Horizon 2020, which places greater focus on market delivery. The unit aims to appeal to innovative SMEs more directly by bridging the communication divide that exists between the small business world and the EU public support infrastructure.
Mr Maenhout outlines the unit's upcoming communication initiatives, including but not limited to the following:
- overhaul of SME techweb, highlighting more dynamic information and relevant news, updates on Horizon 2020 and the SME instrument;
- boost social media presence specifically geared towards innovative SME interests (EU public support, networking, how-to);
- organisation of workshops and presentations mainly about Horizon 2020 and SME support for innovative SMEs, network organisations, representative bodies and other relevant stakeholders in Brussels and Member States (road show);
- creation of storybook presenting successful entrepreneurs and showcasing their projects in an effort to serve as an incentive for other innovative entrepreneurs to apply for EU funding and support;
- co-sponsorship of a major SME conference (under the Irish presidency of the EU) which will focus on innovation management, growth and competitiveness strategies in a globalised world and public support programmes (including Horizon 2020).
'Getting relevant and value-added information to innovative SMEs, but also sincerely listening to their concerns via dedicated networks, events or social media platforms, will be complementary actions to ensure that SMEs have sufficient knowledge and know-how about EU support and funding application processes to start acting upon them,' says Mr Maenhout.
He believes that one of the main objectives for public intervention in Europe in research, innovation and industrial policies should be to increase European innovative company growth. To translate the EU policy agenda into effective policy actions, EU support policies need to foster R&D investment in a specific innovative company type, and only where there are market failures (e.g. difficulty in accessing capital, knowledge and infrastructures) and clear high social returns, for instance in such domains as aging society, climate change, energy supply, safety and security.
'It is this ambition that will drive the SME Unit forward in 2013, and it is based on this premise that the bulk of our energies will be spent,' concludes Mr Maenhout.

Erin Heatherton Shares Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Beauty Routine
Just how do those super-sexy Victoria's Secret models get their runway show glow? Us Weekly Beauty Director Gwen Flamberg went backstage at the lingerie brand's annual fashion show to get the beauty scoop from model Erin Heatherton and lead makeup artist Dick Page amid the chaos of the models' pre-show glam prep.
PHOTOS: Sexiest Victoria's Secret models ever!
Spending a quick five minutes on each of the VS Angels to add extra touches of sparkle and shine, Page tells Us he used lipstick on their cheeks and nose to make the sexiest women in the world even sexier! "The main [priority] is not to get in the way in a room full of beautiful girls," the makeup artist joked to Us.
PHOTOS: Fresh-faced glam! Stars without makeup
To copy the VS look, Page suggests creating a sexy flush by adding a touch of color to your nose. "If you think about when you get a bit of sun, you get a little color and it makes the face look a little more animated," he says.

"I always love getting my hair and makeup done and this is the best hair and the makeup team in the world," Heatherton told Us as she was getting a manicure and her hair styled by members of the VS glam squad. "This is my favorite day of the year!"

The range in performance, in sectors such as service levels, logistics cost and inventory, varies between retailers – even though the exact differences are difficult to pinpoint as not all supply chain-related KPIs are publically reported. We can be sure that retailers are facing fierce completion, more demanding customers and even more challenging supply chains as result of continuous globalisation. Not surprisingly, more and more companies are initiating programmes to bring down direct costs and increase product availability to customers.
How BearingPoint brings value
BearingPoint helps businesses optimize the efficiency of their distribution fleets and Distribution Centres' operations. This includes an analysis of distribution networks compared to goods flow, with adjustments in regards to the number of DCs and cross-docking points. Optimising DC operations is all about utilising fixed and variable assets in best possible way. All together the costs for logistics should not exceed approximately 4.5 % of sales, and service to stores should never be less than 90%.
BearingPoint can also help organisations achieving cost reduction in logistics while avoiding a zero-sum game with service to consumers.
