Halo Rings create an appearance unmatched by ordinary headlights, but until now you had to buy a high-priced luxury car, or expensive custom headlight assemblies, to get that distinctive look. No more! Lumen LED Halo Rings are the inexpensive alternative, and for a fraction of the cost of complete custom headlight assemblies, and a few hours of your time devoted to careful installation, you can now have these exciting lights on your car, truck, or SUV. Lumen LED Halo Rings will definitely get your vehicle noticed and that recognition will benefit your security as well, because increased visibility on the road means safer driving for you.
When Lumen designed these Halo Rings, they didn't just concentrate on making them universal, they went all out and used the latest in lighting technology for illumination: LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). LEDs are infinitely superior to conventional incandescent light bulbs. The light they produce is much brighter, more even, and much more pleasing to the eye; their average lifespan is 50,000-75,000 hours, which means they'll probably outlast the rest of your vehicle; with minimal energy consumption, they won't tax your vehicle's electrical system; and they're unaffected by vibration so you can even mount them on an off-roader and go 4-wheeling without fear of damage. And Lumen LED Halo Rings don't just have incandescents beat, they're superior to other LED halo rings as well. Lumen uses PlaZma LED technology for their Halo Rings, which creates an unbroken ring of light that is visually more satisfying than competitors' segmented SMD LED displays, and each ring has a tough aluminum backing that is sturdier than the wood backing found on some brands.
Installation of Lumen LED Halo Rings is relatively straightforward, but does require patience, some mechanical and electrical expertise, and some special tools. Click the Video link and watch the informative presentation created by our technical staff detailing the installation on a Honda Civic. The procedure for disassembling the headlight housings, and the placement and attachment of the Halo Ring will vary according to vehicle. If after watching the video you determine that the process is more than you can handle, then we highly recommend professional installation.49.95Brand: Lumen Part Number: IAW60CB

Mary-Kate Olsen is a fashion favorite despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that there is no easy way to sum up all the different elements that compose her singular style. At first glance, it doesn't seem like there's a workable formula to her look. She appears to channel an assortment of muses, ranging from a tough-chic chick to a hippie free spirit to a Savile Row sophisticate. But when you deconstruct Olsen's outfits, some simple ground rules emerge: always pick strong directional pieces, pay an extraordinary attention to accessories, and take a devil-may-care attitude about the whole thing. In the spirit of Olsen's insouciant sartorial style, we rounded up a group of pieces with the actress/designer's esteemed taste for today's What Would She Wear story. Though that query could be answered in many ways, we think our selections are perfectly current for Olsen's look now.
1. Benjamin Eyewear Maggie Sunglasses ($325)
Always ahead of the curve, Olsen started a round-frame revolution via her choice of circular sunglasses. (Though they're de rigueur now, don't forget how outré they looked last summer, especially amongst the sea of Wayfarer-wearing celebs.) Needless to say, we wanted to include a pair in today's story, and picked Benjamin Eyewear's Maggie Sunglasses ($325) as our Olsen-inspired selection. We think our tastemaker would approve wholeheartedly of their perfectly proportion shape and how the polished metal frame compliments the gradient rose lenses. If you're hard on your shades and prefer less pricey pairs, Urban Outfitters' Encircle Sunglasses ($24) have a similarly svelte look and feel.
2. Pour La Victoire Tia Platform Slide ($330)
A chameleon in her fashion choices, one thing that never changes is Olsen's commitment to wearing the season's most directional, radical, statement-making shoes. No matter if she's dressed a couture gown or clothed in a casual ensemble, you can always count on Olsen to wear a killer heel from the likes of Givenchy, Balenciaga, or Stella McCartney, as seen above. To get the look of the super-chic styles she's been sporting of late, we recommend checking out Pour La Victoire's Tia Platform Slide ($330). The platform sandal features mixed silver studs and a plethora of straps, a combo that's sure to add attitude and interest to any outfit.
3. James Perse Racerback Maxi Dress ($225)
In addition to busily making her mark as an emerging actress in independent film fare like The Wackness, Olsen is also committed to co-designing Elizabeth and James with her sister, Ashley. One of the key pieces that repeatedly appear in E&J collections is the maxi dress, so it's safe to say that the Olsens officially endorse the ultra-long frock. Accordingly, we found this modern, modest, and tie-dyed Racerback Maxi Dress ($225) from James Perse with our muse in mind. The muted gray palate and simple razorback silhouette would make the perfect backdrop for Olsen's more eclectic outfit add-ons.
4. Jacquie Aiche Amethyst Slice Hammered Ring ($1100, 323.468.9320)
When it comes to jewelry, for Ms. Olsen, more is more. The tiny titan loves to adorn her fingers with statement-making rings that often feature gorgeously oversized gems and semi-precious stones. This ridiculously lovely geode ring by Jacquie Aiche would look splendid on, especially if worn in conjunction with some modern metallic pieces. We also love the more budget-friendly but equally enthralling Geode & Silver Ring ($54) from The Jewellery People.
5. Elizabeth and James
Superfine Leather Jacket ($755)
Although it is the other Olsen, Ashley, who is known for wearing more understated, drapey, simple pieces, we thought we would include Elizabeth and James' Superfine Leather Jacket ($755) for Mary-Kate. This snug number is sensuous, thanks to its narrow arms and a body-hugging shape, plus the cropped length makes it a perfect layering piece. Though it may seem unexpectedly basic, we think that anyone who can master boudoir robe jackets, boyfriend blazers, and motorcycle jackets (covered in oversized studs, no less) would definitely look amazing in this go-to piece.
6. Guerlain Kajal Khol Stick ($35)
Though she has been known to rotate hair color and lipsticks on a fairly regular basis, one item has remained an Olsen signature: subtly sexy black eyeliner. The look is both exotic and rock'n'roll, much like Olsen herself, and is remarkably easy to achieve-if you have the right products! We suggest trying Guerlain's new, limited edition Kajal Khol Stick ($35) for three reasons: it's beautifully packaged, richly pigmented, and glides on super smoothly, making it ideal for novices and experts alike. Apply to the lower lid line and the inside rim of the eye to get the perfect Olsenesque, sultry, perfectly smudged effect.
7. Topshop Mixed Metal Indian Bangle Set ($17)
One of the most dazzling aspects of Olsen's overall look is her attention to detail and her inspired taste in accessories. Though her repertoire of decorative adornments includes body chains, knuckle rings, and headpieces, you needn't go to such lengths to get her look. Instead, try stacking Topshop's Mixed Metal Indian Bangle Set ($17) on your wrist to get an equally embellished look without veering into the extreme.
8. Alexander Wang Rico Bucket Bag ($795)
Thanks to its nineties sensibilities and low-key good looks, the bucket bag is making a thoroughly modern comeback. With tastemakers such as Alexander Wang and Miuccia Prada designing drawstrings bags for spring, we think that this shape is poised to be the next must-buy silhouette. With her preternatural ability to predict big trends before they hit, we think Olsen would love this fresh-looking Rico Bucket Bag
($795) by Alexander Wang. Adorned with grommets and studs, this piece deftly balances luxury and cutting-edge cool, much like our subject herself.
If all this Mary-Kate Olsen information wasn't enough excitement, we're also exceptionally thrilled to announce that the winner of the WhoWhatWear.com/PurseBlog.com Louis Vuitton Luggage Giveaway is Kaitlyn Thomson from New York, NY! Kaitlyn will receive four fantastic pieces from the famed fashion house, ensuring a lifestyle of stylish globetrotting.
Congratulations to Kaitlyn and thank you to everyone who entered our biggest giveaway ever! Stay tuned for the next WhoWhatWear.com contest, we promise it will be just as amazing...

Johnny Ds Restaurant at the Paddock Arcade a popular spot for breakfast and lunch among downtown business professionals will unveil a dinner menu for the first time next week, extending its hours until 10 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Open for about five years, the small restaurant has raked in its most business yet this year, and manager David P. Bartlett decided now would be an ideal time to start offering dinners. Along with new menu choices, the restaurants former 20-foot lunch counter has been renovated to serve as a bar with stools and is about a foot higher than before. A former storage space near the kitchen was converted into a serving area for the bar, featuring shelves lined with bottles of wine and spirits.
We knocked out a wall and shuffled some things around to make it happen, said Mr. Bartlett, who acquired a state liquor license in October to serve draft beer, wine and spirits. Rather than apply for a new license, Mr. Bartlett transferred the license from another restaurant he started on Coffeen Street, Bistro 108. That restaurant, which Mr. Bartlett closed in February because of slow business, is now run by Sherri L. Marsh.
Johnny Ds dinner menu will showcase an open-faced prime rib sandwich, Parmesan chicken and lasagna along with a range of successful burgers and sandwiches also offered at lunch. To stay open until 10 p.m., Mr. Bartlett said, the casual diners target market will be families and professionals seeking a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.
We want families to come here and enjoy a drink, he said. It will also provide a place for professional people to go without a nightclub-type environment.
Id like to bring more people downtown because everything seems to be focused on the perimeter areas with fast-food locations, Mr. Bartlett said. There are a lot of new people who dont know were here.
On Fridays, the eatery will offer a happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. It also will host wine nights with $2 specials on drinks.
Mr. Bartlett will add another cook to work evenings to a staff of four workers. Visitors will notice, though, he and his wife, Robyn L., spend plenty of time working in the kitchen. To express his passion as a restaurateur, Mr. Bartlett rattled off one of his favorite quotes from the late television and newspaper journalist Andy Rooney: He said in a good restaurant you will always find the owners on hand, but in a better restaurant you will find them in the kitchen.
Hes pleased with the restaurants gradual success over the past five years and said he hopes the extended hours will add to its base of frequent diners. But because the business climate downtown is always changing, its challenging to say where the restaurant will stand financially from one year to the next. Most first-time customers at Johnny Ds heard about the diner from friends and family members.
The place seats 40 people, and we try to do the best with what we have to work with, he said. My wife and I would like to be here until we retire, but the restaurant business changes on a daily basis. But were now confident that when we open up for business, were going to have a good day and make a profit.
He added that starting next week, the restaurant will celebrate the holiday season by selling Tom and Jerry cocktails featuring eggnog, brandy and rum.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Gold futures settled higher Friday, with mixed U.S. jobs data and weakness in the dollar helping to underpin demand for the metal, but upbeat figures on U.S. consumer sentiment and manufacturing activity putting a cap on gains.
Meanwhile, a research note from Credit Suisse Friday warned that dollar-denominated gold prices may have peaked in 2011 for the current trading cycle.
Dangers of China's public hospitals
Unlicensed ambulances in China are growing in number, reports the state-owned Global Times — which also says they are contributing to patient deaths.
Gold for April delivery US:GCJ3 rose $8.60, or 0.5%, to settle at $1,670.60 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Tracking the most-active contracts, prices finished nearly 0.9% higher than a week ago, when the most-active February contract finished at $1,656.60.
It's gold's third-weekly gain in 10, according to data from Factset.
Prices had traded sharply higher after the jobs data, then pared some gains after other economic data came out mostly better-than-expected.
"Gold popped higher on the surprisingly bad unemployment number, but the internals of the report and other data quickly muted the gains," said Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter.
"Gold is being held hostage to the data flow right now, with bad news for the economy being good for gold, as slow or negative growth will portend continued or more aggressive quantitative easing by the Fed," he said.
The U.S. created just 157,000 jobs in January, falling short of expectations, as the unemployment rate rose to 7.9%. However, one-third of a million more jobs were added in 2012 than previously estimated. Read: The U.S. adds 157,000 jobs as past data are revised higher
The jobs data came fairly well within expectations even as prior months' data were revised up, said Andrey Kryuchenkov, analyst at VTB Capital in London, in emailed comments.
"No surprises here today so expected a little more pressure on the greenback and modest gains in gold," he said.
But activity for U.S. manufacturers strengthened in January to the highest level since April. See: Factor sector strengthens in January, ISM says.
U.S. consumer sentiment also climbed in January , more than Wall Street expected, though overall levels remained relatively low. See: Consumer sentiment rises in January.
Gold prices gave back some of its earlier gains "upon consideration of the favorable back month revisions to payrolls and better than expected construction spending, ISM and consumer confidence," said Peter Grant, chief market analyst at USAGold. "Ongoing super-accommodative central-bank policies will continue to provide underpinnings for both the gold and silver markets."

Jimmy Rollins believes the Phillies still own on the NL East
Jimmy Rollins still feels the NL East runs through the Phillies, saying this to CSN Philly:
"It still runs through Philly…. [Washington] had one year to win it. It was just like when the Mets took it from Atlanta, it was still up for grabs. I'm sure Atlanta felt it was still theirs, but fortunately we were able to come in and take it the next five years. … We were undermanned. You'd write the lineup every single day and we're undermanned against a lot of teams. As soon we got healthy, you start to see us turn back around and catch our rhythm. … Everyone's a little angry, which is good to get a chip on your shoulder and just go back out there and prove that this is still our division, but not only that, but that we're still World Champions."
The Phillies were 44-31 after Chase Utley and Ryan Howard returned to the lineup in the second half last season.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
You know, at this point, I actually miss the old Team-To-Beat debates. I think Rollins has a point, considering how well the Phillies played in the second half. They made a helluva run at the Wild Card, but fell short. I think they'll be fine, but they keep getting older and they're always one-bad-bet-on-a-reliever away from falling apart. At the same time, the division is getting young. I'm biased, but I think the NL East is a lot of fun to watch. If the Mets young players continue to evolve, and if Jon Niese, Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler can be what we hope they can be, the Mets can eventually be right in the mix as well. I don't think the division runs through any one team. I think it's going to be very much up for grabs year in and year out and I think that's great for everyone, especially fans.

In the words of the immortal Flavor Flav, Â"What time is it?Â" Oh dear readers, itÂ's time for another installment of A GuyÂ's Opinion! This week our average Joe (or in this case, Justin, 25, photographer and Photoshop shark) is commenting on fall makeup looks. The only information we gave our Guy is to judge the overall cosmeticsÂ--not facial beauty or hairstyleÂ--of each major maquillage trend. Read on for what men really think about your artistic eyeliner and lipstick choices.
1. I find it strange when a girl puts this much color under the eye and this is no exception. Go easy on the eyeliner.
2. It looks like this girl just got in a fight with a coal mineÂ--and lost. The makeup is way too heavy under the eyebrow. Works on the runway but not sitting across from me in a restaurant.
3. Beautiful. The nice, soft colors show that she's not trying to hide anything. I don't think that every girl can pull off that color on the lips but if you can, rock it.
4. Very classic look, offends no one.
5. At first glance I wondered if someone flipped this girl's head upside down. That much makeup only belongs above the eye, certainly not below. Maybe she got drunk last night and woke up to find that her friends had some fun with a sharpie? Unless you are the lead in BatmanÂ--The Musical!, you shouldn't ever do this to your face... ever.

The name Gibson has been synonymous with top of the line guitars for over a hundred years. Anyone that has ever owned a Gibson acoustic guitar would agree they are in a class of their own when it comes to quality, construction and sound. Simply put, a Gibson acoustic guitar is a work of art. Gibson was founded back in 1902 and has been creating acoustic guitars since the 1930's. In fact, they were largely responsible for the growth and popularity of the acoustic guitar, particularly in the big band era of the 30's. As the acoustic guitar continues to make its mark in modern music, Gibson has continued to find innovative ways to build on their success. Some of the most legendary names in music have used Gibson acoustics. Brian Jones, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones, Alex Leifson of Rush and Neil Young to name a few have all hit the stage with Gibson acoustic guitars during their careers.
Known world-wide for their rich, full sound, an acoustic guitar is the perfect choice for any venue from a small coffee house to a large auditorium. Whether you are picking up a guitar for the first time or have spent years honing your craft, you're sure to appreciate the traditional, unplugged sound of a Gibson acoustic.

Is it possible that abortion giant Planned Parenthood condones the killing of babies outside the womb in what is sometimes termed "post-birth" abortion? To some observers, Alisa LaPolt Snow, a lobbyist with the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, appeared to give that impression when she testified March 28 in connection with a Florida bill that would require abortionists to give medical care to babies born alive during a "botched" abortion procedure. (Video available at link below.)
When given her chance to offer Planned Parenthood's position on the common-sense and compassionate measure, Snow told Florida lawmakers in a prepared statement that while "Planned Parenthood condemns any physician who does not follow the law or endangers a woman's or a child's health … we don't believe that politicians should be the ones who decide what constitutes the best, medically appropriate treatment in any given situation."
Some legislators were shocked at what appeared to be an admission that Planned Parenthood is okay with allowing babies born alive during an abortion to be deprived of life-saving medical care. Fox News reported that one of the lawmakers tried to pin Snow down on the abortion giant's position regarding a baby born alive while an abortionist was attempting to end his or her life. "We believe that any decision that's made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician," Snow reiterated from her talking points — making it appear that Planned Parenthood's position is that an abortionist hasn't completed his mission until a baby dies, inside or outside the womb.
Another legislator pressed Snow on the issue, asking her to explain Planned Parenthood's policy when such a scenario occurs, to which the abortion lobbyist replied, "I do not have that information." Another legislator asked her if a baby born under such traumatic circumstances wouldn't automatically join his mother as a patient under the care of the erstwhile abortion doctor. "That's a very good question," Snow blankly demurred. "I really don't know how to answer that."

Over the next several days, Hurricane Irene is expected to slam the eastern seaboard, with a direct hit to North Carolina followed by a northwardly trajectory. Many people have already been evacuated from areas expecting a direct hit from the storm; Virginia, Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas are preparing for strong winds, possible power outages and a deluge of rain.
According to The Washington Post, Virginia Governor Robert F. McDonnell has declared a state of emergency, telling residents of low-lying areas in the eastern portion of the state to be prepared to evacuate.
"I encourage all Virginians to gather items they may need this weekend in case of power outages and disruptions in public services and to make sure their family members and friends are also prepared for this storm," said the Governor.
The Navy has ordered 64 ships based in southeastern Virginia to head to safer waters out in the Atlantic to avoid the heaviest parts of the storm.
McDonnell is among four governors — New Jersey's Chris Christie and Maryland's Martin O'Malley declared emergencies for their states, while North Carolina's Bev Perdue has declared a state of emergency in counties east of Interstate 95– who have opted to declare emergency to free up funds and resources for the weather event, according to CNN.

Typically, we're not prone to conspiracy theories, but the recent blitz of boyfriend jeans made us stop and ponder a couple of things. First of all, why did such a vast range of celebrities start wearing this specific style all at the same time? Secondly, why did the seemingly perfect denim storm happen now, during the hottest time of year, when most people are reaching for their shorts? We're not sure who the mastermind is behind all these rolled cuffs (spotlight hungry ankles, perhaps?), but one thing we do know is that this is a look we love.
Clearly the celebs are smitten too, as you can tell from the random range of women we've spotted wearing their cuffs turned up. Katie Holmes is particularly devoted to this look; she's worn a favorite pair of Prps Barracuda Jeans ($385, available at Barneys this week) repeatedly this month. Seen here en route to rehearsals for the highly anticipated Broadway play All My Sons, Holmes wore her turned-up hems with The Row's S/S 08 Burnout T-Shirt ($260, at Bergdorf Goodman in New York), a Couture Couture cardi, and a pewter pair of Lanvin Metallic Ballet Flats ($550). The equally practical Reese Witherspoon also chose to wear flats with her cuffed jeans. Witherspoon wore our favorite pair-Current/Elliott's The Boyfriend Cropped Jean ($226)-in the Super Loved Destroy wash while shopping in Los Angeles last week.
The rolled-cuff jean also allows you to show off an interesting pair of shoes or booties, as Sarah Jessica Parker, Amanda Peet, and Rachel Bilson demonstrate. SJP wore a slim charcoal pair of Balenciaga Jeans ($300, 212.206.0872) with some stern black booties while in Berlin as a part of the SATC: The Movie promotional tour. Amanda Peet also chose to accessorize her partially pegged pair of faded jeans with strong black shoes. The new mom wore a Huck Finn-styled pair of Earnest Sewn Decca 233/Dudley ($186) jeans to the premiere of Pineapple Express. Our final look comes from reader favorite Rachel Bilson, who was snapped shopping in a turned-up pair of skinny jeans. Her Paige Denim Roxbury Crop Skinny Jean ($179) nicely showed off a standout pair of nude Maison Martin Margiela Open Toe Ankle Boots ($595), which we found online in pale mint green. We also suggest taking a look at the new Triumphh Heel ($109.95) from Steve Madden, as it greatly resembles the MMM version, but, of course, costs much less. But back to the jeans...
Whether you like them relaxed and baggy or trim and tapered, we have a rich selection of choices right now. In addition to the aforementioned options, we also like a classic pair of Levi's 501s ($58). J. Crew's Distressed Vintage Slim Jeans ($135) also lend themselves to rolling, as do Acne Jeans' Generic Girl Tab Jeans, which are available in a light Stonewash ($299) or the darker OneWash ($269).

Feel the Vibe
Tommy DeeFor year's I've had to listen to fans yell and scream about Mike D'Antoni's disregard for defense and how he wasn't fit to coach the Knicks brand. Fast forward quickly to 2012-13 and what I noticed right away was a vibe dedicated to defense and 100% focus. This is not to blame D'Antoni, who navigated a team through a tough two seasons as the Knicks climbed their way out of rock bottom.
The Knicks are all in. Their roster tells you so. It's not an easy challenge, not when you consider the Lakers and, of course, the heat but this team seems more focused than in years past. And that's not so much of a compliment, considering we're not far from the training camp days of trying to find Eddy Curry and Nate Robinson's antics. Not far removed from Jerome James and Chris Duhon. Not knocking these players as much as I am saying that they all knew they would be short term solutions that would be absorbing a ton of loses.
And the age thing for me is not a big deal until a player gets hurt. Jason Kidd uses his head on the court and is a spot shooter. Prigioni is in better shape than your average NBA 35 year old. Ask yourself would you rather have Bibby or Kidd? Camby or Turiaf?
From the minute the doors open at the practice facility in Westchester today there was talking and communicating and more talking. Mike Woodson was putting his team through what is known as a defensive shell drill with double teams in the proper crevasses in the half court- at the short corner and in the far corners.
After the drill was over the team huddled together and sang happy birthday to Tyson Chandler. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood and the vibe was professional and clean. The messages have been about focus and teamwork.
It's only day one, but that's the sense that I got.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The U.S. economy entered the fourth quarter on solid footing, but the aftershocks of hurricane Sandy and the looming "fiscal cliff" could make for some shakier moments soon.
The hurricane tore a devastating path through New York and New Jersey and also hurt other states, disrupting the routines of consumers, retailers and manufacturers alike. The effects of the storm are already making it harder to get a read on how the economy is performing, though it's only a temporary condition.
More long-lasting worries among businesses and investors center on the fiscal cliff — the onset of big tax increases and deep federal spending cuts on Jan. 1. These changes will take effect unless a divided Washington strikes a deal to put them off.

Fear of a fiscal cliff — some economists warn it could cause another recession — was palpable in U.S. markets last week.
The Dow Jones industrial average, for example, fell several hundred points and closed below 13,000 for the first time in more than two months.
"The primary topic on everyone's mind was the year-end fiscal cliff," said Neil Dutta, head of economics at Renaissance Macro, after meetings with investors.
Muddied outlook
For the upcoming week, most of the economic data is likely to be distorted by hurricane Sandy.
Take the October retail-sales report on Wednesday. Normally retail sales is a big number for Wall Street since consumer spending accounts for as much as 70% of the U.S. economy.
Yet economists surveyed by MarketWatch expect retail sales to fall 0.1% in October, a sharp reversal from September's 1.1% gain, because of Sandy. The storm closed many stores in the Northeast and sales of items such as autos took a hit.
What's more, gas prices leveled off in October and won't contribute as much to retail sales. Higher gas prices had been a big contributor to the increase in consumer spending in September and August.
For consumers, of course, lower gas prices are a good thing. They get to spend more money on other goods and services they'd like to purchase. The big question is whether they bank some of that extra money instead to rebuild their savings. The savings rate has fallen sharply in the past few months.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
The hurricane is also expected to muddy up weekly jobless claims data and two closely followed surveys of manufacturing conditions in the New York state and Philadelphia regions. All three reports come out Thursday.
Both manufacturing surveys — the Empire State index and the Philadelphia Fed gauge — are expected to be weaker.

Feasibility Study for Development of an Early Test for Ovarian Failure
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This purpose of this study is to gain information about normal ovarian function that will be useful in developing a test for early detection of ovarian failure. The ovaries produce female hormones, such as estrogen, that are important in maintaining a woman's health. When the ovaries do not work properly, problems can develop. Unfortunately, there is no test that can detect ovarian failure early in its course. By the time premature ovarian failure is diagnosed in young women, two-thirds have already developed osteopenia (loss of some bone mass) and nearly one in ten have osteoporosis, a greater loss of bone mineral density that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures.
Women with normal ovarian function ages 18 to 55 and postmenopausal women 60 years of age or older may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood tests and vaginal ultrasound examination. For the ultrasound study, a probe that emits sound waves is inserted into the vagina, and the sound waves are converted to form images of the ovaries. The procedure is done with an empty bladder and takes about 10 minutes. After this screening visit (Visit 1), those enrolled in the study will return to the NIH Clinical Center for the following additional procedures:
Visit 2-Will be scheduled between days 3 and 5 of the menstrual cycle (for women who are still menstruating). Participants will have blood tests to measure hormone levels and to check for pregnancy, and will have another transvaginal ultrasound examination. They will then receive an injection of a synthetic form of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), a hormone the body makes normally.
Visits 3 and 4-Will be scheduled 24 and 36 hours after the FSH injection given during Visit 2 for collection of blood samples.
Visit 5-Will be scheduled 48 hours after the FSH injection for additional blood sampling and a final transvaginal ultrasound examination.

FSH Stimulation Test
Detailed Description:
This is a pilot project to test the feasibility of developing an FSH stimulation test. There is a need for a sensitive and specific marker to detect ovarian insufficiency early in its course. FSH stimulates inhibin B production by the granulosa cells of the cohort of ovarian follicles; serum inhibin B in turn participates in the negative feedback loop regulating FSH secretion. This protocol is characterizing the normal FSH-stimulated serum inhibin B response to a single subcutaneous injection of 300 IU human recombinant FSH given on day 2 to 4 of the menstrual cycle. In preliminary analysis under this protocol we have demonstrated that FSH-stimulated serum inhibin B levels measured at 24 hours after injection is a more robust marker of functional ovarian age than ovarian follicle count by transvaginal ultrasound, basal serum Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) levels, or basal serum FSH levels. Multiple regression analysis has revealed that FSH-stimulated inhibin B, FSH-stimulated estradiol, and basal FSH contribute significantly to an ability to predict functional ovarian age (as approximated by chronological age). The resulting regression equation relating these three parameters with age has a correlation coefficient of 0.742 and a coefficient of determination of 0.551. The protocol is now evaluating the reproducibility of this test and the feasibility of generating normative data in young women between the ages of 18 and 25.

LOWVILLE Lewis County netted a profit of more than $84,000 on its annual tax auction Wednesday, exceeding budget projections by nearly $30,000.
Im glad its over with for another year, said County Treasurer Patricia L. OBrien.
Seventeen parcels sold for a total of $126,400 an average of $7,435 per parcel at the ninth annual auction, according to Mrs. OBrien.
That resulted in a net gain of $84,393 after $42,007 in back taxes were paid, she said.
The county in its 2013 budget anticipated $55,000 in tax auction revenue.
A manufactured house on a 2.1-acre parcel on McGowan Road in the town of Pinckney sold for the highest amount at $29,000.
That was the one that had a lot of interest, Mrs. OBrien said.
By contrast, a 50-by-50-foot lot off Laura Street in the town of Lyonsdale with possibly no road access sold for only $50.
The old Greig Convenience Store at 5223 Greig Road, now used as a bottle and can redemption center after being vacant for several years, brought in $8,000.
The key was that all available properties were sold, Mrs. OBrien said.
Thats what I always worry about, she said.
Haroff Auction Service, Schroon Lake, conducted the auction once again.
There were 62 bidders, 52 who registered on site at the Lowville Elks Lodge, Shady Avenue, and 10 who registered via the Internet.
One Internet bidder bought two parcels at the auction, according to treasurers office records.
The 17 parcels sold at this years auction was well below the 33 properties auctioned off last year but still above the low mark of six parcels at the 2008 event.
This is a manageable number, Mrs. OBrien said. Of course wed like it to be six. But 17 is not bad, especially considering we started out with 50.
None of the handful of houses sold were listed as occupied.
The county in February foreclosed on 50 tax-delinquent parcels. To redeem them, property owners had to pay all taxes and fees and any delinquent taxes from January 2012, plus 10 percent of that amount as an auctioneers fee and 5 percent of the parcels full value.
County legislators also removed a 4.5-acre parcel on Fish Creek Road in the town of Greig, near the county-owned Singing Waters park. County officials said the parcel, which includes extensive road frontage, would aid access to adjacent county reforestation land that has little frontage.

Who Killed Nancy?
On Oct. 12, 1978 Nancy Spungeon, an ex-prostitute, sometimes stripper and heroin addict, was found dead in a bathroom at the Chelsea Hotel in New York. She also happened to be the girlfriend of the Sex Pistols' bassist Sid Vicious, who was quickly accused of her murder. Less than six months later, he died of a heroin overdose, and the case was closed. The deaths of Sid and Nancy have passed into rock legend and have only added to the controversial and notorious image of the Sex Pistols and punk music. At the request of Sid's mother, who committed suicide in 1996, rock author and punk expert Alan Parker has devoted himself to discovering "Who Killed Nancy?" By interviewing 182 people and re-examining NYPD evidence, he reveals what really happened that night in room 100.

I'll write a longer piece once everyone knows the identity of the "non-elite" prospects, and the amount of money in the Mets-Jays Dickey-d'Arnaud/Syndergaard deal. However, I will say this right now: if a team is going to trade a reigning Cy Young award winner, this is how it's done. Pull the other team's best two prospects. In d'Arnaud, the Mets acquired a player who is ready now and a top 10 prospect in baseball. Syndergaard becomes the Mets' second-best pitching prospect.
Has R.A. Dickey been excellent over the last three years? Yes. Is he a wonderful story? Yes. Have knuckleballers aged well? Yes. Were the Mets a likely playoff team in 2013? No. Are they better off in 2014 and beyond for having done this deal? That's the idea.
There is no guarantee that d'Arnaud's minor league success will translate into his becoming a big league all-star. There's no guarantee that Syndergaard's promise will make him a rotation regular in 2015. Similarly, Dickey might never have a year, or a half-season as good as his 2012.
This is a risk worth taking for a team that has missed the playoffs for each of the last six seasons.

Juicy Behind-The-Scenes Scoop From The Fault In Our Stars
I get my ambition from my father. [Editor's note: he passed away when Bella was 9.] There was no stopping him; it didn't matter what anybody said. For me, I feel like it's a cool way to bring him into my life because he did great things in his life, and I want to emulate that."
"Girls are shamed for their bodies and made to believe that they're not supposed to show them or love them. They're made to believe that they aren't perfect, that they need to 'work on it,' that they need to see themselves differently—and I think it's freaking ridiculous. It gets on my nerves because boys can do whatever; it's like we're living in the 1800s again. It drives me crazy."

AUGUST 1 WILL DETERMINE ISLANDERS' FATEReferendum on Coliseum goes to Nassau voters
10:15 pm: After August 1, no one will ever be able to say Charles Wang didn't try everything he could to keep the New York Islanders in Nassau County.
After August 1, no one will ever be able to say Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano didn't try to save the Islanders.
And yes, after August 1, no one will ever be able to say Town of Hempstead Supervisor Kate Murray was a primary culprit in the Islanders leaving Uniondale.
Point Blank has confirmed that Aug. 1 is the scheduled date for the referendum on a bond for a planned sports and entertainment destination center on the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum property. The cost is expected to be $400 million. Nassau County residents will vote yay or nay.
In large part, Taking A Stand is what Wednesday's press conference is all about. Since the vote is being taken to the people, there won't be blood on the hands of Wang, Mangano and Murray. Wang has nothing to lose sleep over and will have no guilt; he has been at this – at a loss of tens of millions of dollars on the hockey team, plus his Lighthouse investment – for eleven years. Mangano is doing what he can despite a crippling deficit and having to answer to New York State for his county's finances. Murray is along for the ride because she cannot lose either way. She stopped the Lighthouse from happening, making her a hero to many. She has said for years that she is all for a new building and little else. If the vote does not pass, Murray will be able to say she did what she could while standing by the Islanders and the County.
There are plenty of reasons for optimism. This is the closest the Islanders have come to getting a new arena…by far. In this economy and after all this time, this can easily be sold in the court of public opinion as the most sensible plan…by far. Although Wang, Murray and Tom Suozzi joined hands in a forced and premature show of unity a few years ago, this is the best illustration that the leaders are trying to work together to save the Islanders and develop the Coliseum site…by far.
Leading up to August 1, there will be strong support and strong opposition. The Democratic minority legislature has already issued a statement of criticism, correctly pointing out that they had a deal with Wang – known as the Lighthouse Project – in which the development would be spectacular and Wang was going to pay for it himself. Mangano's plan will cost the County. Wang's Lighthouse would not have. After this, you cannot blame Wang for feeling like he's done if the vote does not pass.
The challenge, if the Islanders, County and Town choose to accept it, is to get all sides involved and be transparent. Local union leaders – public unions, like the ones that strongly supported the Lighthouse Project at every hearing, as opposed to private unions – as of late Tuesday night had not been invited by Mangano to participate in the press conference. Some professional journalists Tuesday were urged to tweet about the "good news," leading many fans and residents to believe a new Coliseum was a done deal. It is far from it, which is why Wednesday is a rally (fans are invited, Grabs and some of the boys will be there) as much as a press conference. To get the yays they want, it would be a tragic error if the leaders start to BS anyone.
The media advisory released by the County early Tuesday was honest. It said the event, first reported via Twitter by the Long Island blogger B.D. Gallof, is an "announcement" of a "plan." That's news – maybe even hopeful news, but far from good news. Too much work is ahead, too much sales and marketing to counter the political and community activism. The vote has to pass, or it will lead – for the first time, genuinely – to the possibility of the Islanders not just leaving Nassau, but quite possibly leaving New York.
The trio will announce its deal Wednesday. But what Wang, Mangano and Murray really are doing is announcing that they have done their part and will not and can not do anything else. Do not expect any alternatives to be shared if the vote fails.
It's up to the people now.
I believe the vote will pass, that this is the Islanders' and the County's game to lose. Done the right way, Aug. 1 will bring good news to Islanders Country and the residents that have been waiting for the Coliseum property to be developed for a long, long time.
Comments welcomed.

Are We There Yet?
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Mon, 10/23/06, 09:23am:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
I confess. I left after the third quarter on Saturday night to pursue alternate recreational activities. It wasn't an arbitrary decision because, by the 6:00 mark of the third quarter, both teams had officially tabled their sets in favor of something that resembled a crowded deli counter - shoving, the stepping on feet, and general disorder. Here's what I saw:
- Tim Thomas finally heated up a little, but on nights that he's an absolute snowman from the outside, he ought to scale back his perimeter game and do some other stuff offensively. Now I realize that it's the preseason and Thomas' primary concern is working out the kinks in his shot. But once the regular season rolls around, Thomas shouldn't be exclusively a perimeter player. There are going to be instances when Thomas is on the floor with both Brand and Kaman, which means he'll be matched up with the opposing small forward. This will create a mismatch on the wing and Thomas would be remiss not to take advantage of his size. Though he doesn't utilize these parts of his offensive game as much as he did earlier in his career, Thomas is capable of backing down defenders. When the Clips go small and Thomas is effectively the center, he can take the slower big man off the dribble. And though he'll have trouble doing that against a quicker small forward, he can still drive to the basket when the rotating defender shows up late. If he's hitting from the arc, then great. But he's got other tools in the shed and he shouldn't be reluctant to use them since, for no other reason, it'll create a little more space for him on the perimeter.
- In an ideal world - one in which Aaron Williams isn't banged up - Paul Davis would be best served by some time in the D-League. The D-League was created precisely for projects such as Davis. Right now he's an absolute train wreck. What's most unsettling is that, as bad as his decision-making is in the post, his defense is worse. He's a second-round pick, so I don't want to have unreasonable expectations. But keeping him on the roster to play eight minutes a night is probably not going to help him get to the next level, no matter how productive practice sessions might be - and it's not going to help the Clippers' second unit either.
- With the automatic disclaimer that it's the preseason, Shaun appears ready. I know that Seattle's defense couldn't stop Melrose Larry Green from running a coherent offense provided that he got a couple of workouts in with the team, but Shaun was in charge on Saturday night. While he was lethal in the transition last season, he was visibly tentative outside of a few of the Clippers' bread-and-butter sets. I know he shot only 3-10 from the field, but his command of the offense was impressive, even in less structured offensive possessions. The over-under on Shaun being promoted to starter: the second week in January.
- Some Sonics notes:
Robert Swift's footwork isn't terrible, but he's really horrible at putting himself in position to get a good shot. It makes you appreciate Chris Kaman's proficiency in the half court.
I hit on it last season, but it's worth repeating that the Sonics aren't going to do anything with Luke Ridnour as their primary point guard. We all appreciate Ridnour's David Eckstein-like grit and passion. But do you think it's a coincidence that Seattle was one of the worst defensive teams in NBA history with Ridnour at the point? It ain't all Rashard Lewis. Though plenty of teams can compensate for a bad defender at the point (the Los Angeles Clippers, for one), Seattle doesn't have that luxury, and it's going to get worse with Chris Wilcox. Look, I don't think I saw the Sonics play more than six times last season (and four of those were against the Clippers), so it's possible I don't know what I'm talking about. It just seems that, with all the firepower they have on offense, the Sonics should go with Earl Watson -- who just happens to be one of the three best point defenders in the league.
I don't have room on the coffee table, but if you're in a decorative funk, might I suggest this or this?

I love sweet potato cassarole and this one looks terrific.

Definitely a Dessert!
I love the pic of the roasted potato dripping with syrup! Yum!

MMMM! I would definitely say a dessert because anything that is sweet and not savory is a dessert to me. That looks absolutely delicious, but what I can't get over are those cute little ramekins. I have never eaten a sweet potato before. I know, being from the south that is like blasphemy, right? Before you blind fold me and line me up on the firing range, I promise, next time I am at the farmers market and my favorite produce guy is selling sweet taters, I will buy one and try this recipe. I gotta get me some of those ramekins or it just won't turn out right. Hehe.
I wonder if you could take a flame to the top and get some nummy darkened bits?

Debby... Thanks for the nod! My mom will be so happy that you are passing on her sweet potato recipe on to your readers.
And to answer your question; I have to say, "Casserole or Dessert Crisp ~ it doesn't matter how these recipes are made, the end results is just plan good!"

These ramekins are too cute. I have a couple things on my list from Kohls and I might have to add these to them!
Yummy is a great adjective to describe these sweet potatoes. They look wonderful!

Debbie, The "PW"s sweet potato/yam dish looks wonderful. I have 2 favorite recipes that are sorta similar, but this one will be baked the next time. Then I'll have 3 winning recipes for Sweet potatoes. Did you see the article about the PW in Southern Living in November. I'd read so much about her that I went to her web-site and now I'm smitten! I'll check out your new blog ! All the best, Roz

Personally, I'm pretty sure I would eat this for dessert, dinner, breakfast, and lunch. That is just how much I love sweet potatoes! I am a chunky girl myself as well.
Thanks for coming up with this excellent idea for a blog event!
Also, the ramekins are definitely a good idea. Otherwise I could see myself eating the whole pan.

FF DIN supports 179 different languages such as Spanish, English, Portuguese, Russian, German, French and Greek in Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek scripts. (Please note that not all languages are available for all formats.)
1994, San Francisco: Albert-Jan Pool and Erik Spiekermann took a cab together from the ATypI conference to the airport. Spiekermann knew that Pool's employer had just gone bust, so he told him that if he wanted to earn some money with type design, he should have a look at fonts such as OCR and DIN. He invited Pool to Berlin to discuss the idea in detail.
One year later, FontFont published Pool's FF OCR-F typeface, followed by FF DIN.
Spiekermann was keenly aware of an empty space in the market. Digital DIN fonts were available at that time, but only in two weights of purely geometric shapes. Pool designed a family of five weights. He added true italics and also some alternative characters, such as the "i" with a round dot and lowercase figures.
With time, five weights of FF DIN Condensed were added, as well as Greek and Cyrillic versions.
The shape of the new FF DIN differs from the original mostly by thinner horizontal strokes and by more fluent curves. Despite its primitive, technical look and the clear reference to the German motorway signboards, FF DIN became a phenomenon. The typeface has pervaded corporate and publication typography, and found its place in posters of cultural institutions.
In 2011, the Museum of Modern Art in New York added the first digital typefaces to its permanent collection. Perhaps due in part to the immense popularity enjoyed by FF DIN since its release in the mid-1990s, it was one of just 23 designs to be included. FF DIN debuted at MoMA as part of the "Standard Deviations" installation in the contemporary design gallery.
