PAWTUCKET—With several comments made about the benefits of "an extra set of eyes," the City Council on Wednesday voted to engage the services of city resident Alan Tavares as a fiscal watchdog during the upcoming budget process.
The council voted 8 to 0 to accept the volunteer services of Tavares, a retired financial official who lives on Pinecrest Drive. Councilor Jean Philippe Barros had been present at the meeting earlier but left prior to this vote.
Prior to the vote, Council President David Moran explained that because municipal budgets have grown increasingly more complex and "we're not all accountants," he and other councilors thought it was in their best interests to engage a financial analyst to assist them during the preparation of the new fiscal year's budget and on other financial issues. He added that the city Charter allows the council to engage its own independent officials as it sees fit, and said such an action is not unprecedented.
Moran said that this move was not meant to be adversarial to Mayor Donald Grebien and his administration, but rather, "protects the taxpayer and makes us even more responsible." He added that Tavares, who has considerable experience with budgets in his 30-year career with the federal Department of Health and Human Services, has agreed to assist the council for free.
Moran said that Tavares, who also served on the last Charter Review Commission and has spoken publicly on various matters at past City Council meetings, will participate in the upcoming budget workshops, review monthly expense reports, and attend the meetings of the City Council's Finance Committee. "We believe we need to have a fiscal analyst. We're not putting up any walls against the administration, but we believe this will be helpful to the council," Moran stated.
Councilor John Barry, who is also chairman of the Finance Committee, said that the council having its own financial analyst is something that the legislative body is not only entitled to under the charter but also an action "long overdue." He suggested that if past councils had adopted this strategy, the years where the police and fire pensions went unfunded might not have occurred.
Barry added that he hopes the action is not seen as being "antagonistic" toward the administration, but rather, one which airs the city's true financial picture.
Several other councilors spoke in favor of utilizing Tavares' assistance. Councilor Thomas Hodge noted that in the state Legislature, both the House and Senate have staffs to aid in the budget process, and said it will help the council greatly to have "another set of eyes."
Councilor Albert Vitali agreed that municipal budgets are becoming increasingly more complicated and thanked Tavares "for agreeing to do this."
Councilor Lawrence Tetreault commented that he welcomes Tavares' assistance. He added that he hopes Tavares goes to Benny's to stock up on batteries so he can "shine a bright light on this work."
In another matter signaling underlying discontent between the council and the Grebien administration, Hodge asked for the council's support in obtaining an independent legal opinion to clarify the City Council's authority to approve contracts entered into by the executive
Hodge has voiced strong criticism on the Grebien administration's recent signing of a five-year contract with a private trash hauler without seeking the council's approval. Grebien had cited the contract as being within the purview of an executive order since it involves good and services, while Hodge and other councilors considered it as part of their authority because it involved personnel and the privatizing of a service that has previously been done in-house. The council had been given a copy of the contract with MTG Disposal to review, but Grebien signed it a few days later to finalize it.
Angry about the process, Hodge had sent a letter to the office of Attorney General Peter Kilmartin asking for a legal opinion or guidance in the matter of the City Council's authority to approve contracts entered into by administration.
In a written response to Hodge, Deputy Attorney General Gerald J. Coyne said that because the Attorney General serves as legal counsel to the State of Rhode Island and its agencies, he cannot provide legal advice to a municipality or to a municipal official.
However, Coyne also told Hodge that he acknowledged the effort he had placed in drafting the letter to the Attorney General and that he recognized "as well the seriousness of the issue you have raised."
Hodge said that based on Coyne's response about the "seriousness" of the matter, he felt the council should continue to seek clarification into its role and authority pertaining to contracts for both municipal and schools. He said the way the contract with MTG Disposal has been handled, "a very bad precedent could be set by not seeking our advice" on contracts going forward.
Again several other councilors agreed with Hodge, including Moran, who said he has questioned other recent contracts that the administration has finalized without first seeking council approval. He said this includes the contract to hire an independent actuary who helped develop the administration's funding improvement plan for the police and fire pension fund.
Moran said that back in October, City Solicitor Frank Milos had interpreted the city Charter to mean that the executive branch did have the sole authority to approve contracts pertaining to goods and services. However, he said that he and other councilors had not expected this interpretation to extend to something like the city's trash services or other similar contracts that could have a big impact on the municipal budget.
Again without Barros, the council voted 8 to 0 to approve Hodge's request that an independent legal opinion be given as to the council's power to approve contracts.
Also on Wednesday, despite all of the attention the matter got in the local news media, a request pertaining to a zoning change that would allow for residents to keep backyard chickens was simply referred to the City Council's Ordinance Committee for review.
When contacted the next day about how the administration feels with having Alan Tavares as a financial analyst for the City Council, Tony Pires, Grebien's director of administration, responded that he thinks it is "a positive thing" for both sides. "Having a better informed council allows them to make better decisions," said Pires.
Pires added that he has known Alan Tavares for many years, has golfed with him and considers him a friend, and said Tavares' wife, Charlotte, was his campaign manager when he first entered state politics back in the 1980s. He called Tavares "a very competent, able and independent guy" who is the type of person "you can have a difference of opinion with but still be friends.

Submission Stanford team developing spiky robot "hedgehogs" to explore Phobos->
cylonlover writes: Robot hedgehogs on the moons of Mars may sound like the title of a B-grade sci-fi movie, but that is what Stanford University is working on. Marco Pavone, an assistant professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and his team are developing spherical robots called "hedgehogs" that are about half a meter (1.6 ft) wide and covered in spikes to better cope with rolling and hopping across the surface of the Martian moon Phobos with its very low gravity.

The Carbon County community was treated to free medical screenings on Tuesday at Castleview Hospital's annual health fair.
Attendees had the opportunity to have blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen level checked along with the added bonus of free flu shots, body fat analysis, skin cancer checks and mammogram tests.
One pressing issues addressed at the informational activity was the need for influenza vaccination.
According to information presented at the hospital, anyone can get influenza - a viral disease that can cause serious health problems.
While rates of infection differ and the illness lasts for a few days in most people, the flu can cause; fever, sore throat, chills, fatigue, cough, headache and muscle aches.
However, some individuals become much sicker, pointed out the Castleview staff. Influenza can lead to pneumonia and be dangerous for people with heart or breathing conditions.
The illness can cause high fever, diarrhea and seizures in children.
On average, 226,000 people are hospitalized every year because of influenza and 36,000 of the patients die, mostly the elderly.
At Castleview, the officials were administering the inactivated vaccine that was delivered by injection into the muscle.
An annual vaccination is recommended because the Influenza virus mutates from year to year causing scientists to fine tune each year's vaccination.
Flu shots are recommended for most individuals but especially for children from 6 months of age to 18 and anyone over the age of 50.
For additional information on the influenza vaccination, local residents may contact the Price hospital.
A second major topic discussed at the event was celiac disease.
CD is a genetic digestive disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food, according to health fair literature.
Persons with CD cannot tolerate a protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley and possibly oats.
When people eat foods that contain gluten, their immune systems respond by damaging the small intestine.
Specifically, tiny finger-like protrusions called villi on the lining of the small intestine are lost.
Nutrients from food are absorbed into the blood stream through the villi.
Without villi, a person becomes malnourished regardless of the quantity of food consumed.
Because the immune system causes the damage, CD is considered an auto-immune disorder.
Celiac can also be considered a disease of mal-absorption as nutrients are not absorbed.
CD affects patients differently. Some people develop symptoms as children, some as adults.
One factor theorized to play a role in the disease, according to fair information, is the amount of time an individual was breast fed.
"The longer a person was breast fed, the later symptoms of CD appear and the more atypical are the symptoms," pointed out the informational pamphlet. "Other factors include the age a person with CD began eating gluten."
According to health providers at the fair, the disease is trying as affected individuals must constantly monitor their diets.
Patients are essentially unable to eat anything that does not provide consumers with all ingredient information.
Symptoms of celiac disease include: â¢Chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain.
â¢Irritability and/or depression and behavior changes associated with eating.
â¢Weight loss and delayed growth along with unexplained anemia
⢠Bone pain, muscle cramps and pain in the joints.
â¢Pale, foul smelling stool, gas and missed menstrual periods.
â¢Pale, painful sores in the mouth, tooth discoloration or loss of enamel.
Diagnosing can be difficult, as CD's symptoms are so closely related to other diseases, such as Crohn's Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Recently, researchers have discovered that persons with CD have higher-than-normal levels of certain antibodies.
If the tests and symptoms suggest CD, a biopsy of the small intestine will be performed to evaluate damage to the villi.
Gluten free food can be difficult to find and those seeking further information can also contact Castleview about CD, Influenza Vaccination or any other health problem discussed at the health fair.

Product Test: Hefty Meal Containers
The Hefty Meal Portion Plan Containers have two and three compartments. Our tester, Penny filled them with some messy foods and found they really work well sealing up the foods. The containers can go in the freezer and microwave. Our tester really liked the containers at first, but less after realizing the red sauce stained the containers.
So, they work just fine but are not perfect. The sauce seemed to get imbedded into the plastic. Our teste was not overly impressed. They are still a good idea for portioning your food out and taking it on the go. They did not leak at all.

TROY This wasnt the way St. Lawrence University envisioned finishing its regular season.
Defenseman Nick Bailen scored a goal and assisted on two others to spark Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to a 4-1 rout of the Saints on Saturday night in an ECAC Hockey game at Houston Field House.
With the loss, St. Lawrence (16-14-2, 9-9-4) was eliminated from contention for a playoff bye and finishes tied for fifth in the league with Dartmouth, but the Big Green are seeded fifth based on a tiebreaker.
The sixth-seeded Saints will host No. 11 Colgate in a first-round playoff series beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday. Game two is on Saturday, and a third game, if necessary, will be played on Sunday, with both at Appleton Arena.
Im actually pretty happy with the way we played tonight, St. Lawrence coach Greg Carvel said. I think we played hard, we followed our game plan and I think as a team we worked hard. It was a 2-1 game in the third period and I think we were playing well and we were dictating play at that point. But at the end of the day, weve got to score more goals.
St. Lawrence certainly had their chances against the Engineers (17-12-5, 12-7-3), who finished in second place, as it had eight power plays but converted on just one man advantage.
Our power play struggled tonight, Carvel said. Without Kyle (Flanagan), thats a big hole for us and our power play runs through him. We had a lot more power plays than they did because we were working harder then they were, but just couldnt get enough going on the power play.
The Saints failed to score on their first four power plays against RPI before breaking through with Greg Careys goal 13:46 into the second period.
With St. Lawrence trailing 1-0, Carey scored on the Saints sixth man advantage with a long-range shot well out from the slot.
Yet with St. Lawrence on its seventh power play, Brock Higgs finished off a shorthanded rush by backhanding the puck through goalie Matt Weningers legs to provide RPI with a 2-1 lead at 15:01.
Im a little frustrated with the type of goals we gave up, Carvel said. We didnt make RPI earn their goals tonight. After we tied the game at one, we got beat up the ice on what should of been an icing call. ... all four of their goals were because of breakdowns or mental lapses by us.
The Engineers struck for a goal each from Travis Fulton and Johnny Rogic within span of 4:10 to lead 4-1 and to chase Weninger (29 saves).
The Saints, who entered the weekend in third place in the league, was outscored 9-2 in their road trip to the Capital District.
With his assist on Careys goal, senior George Hughes became just the third defenseman in St. Lawrence history to record 100-career points. Hughes has 18 goals and 82 assists in 144 career games.
The Saints played their second consecutive game without Flanagan, who had surgery to remove his appendix on Tuesday. The senior captain was supposed to be out seven to 10 days and its possible he might return for next weekend. But Carvel, who said he hopes and prays Flanagan will be back, wouldnt speculate on this.
St. Lawrence won the season series against Colgate, 1-0-1. The Saints won 4-2 in Hamilton on Nov. 30 and then tied the Raiders 3-3 on Feb. 3 at St. Lawrence.
Theyre a team weve had two good games with, Carvel said. Theyre a young team that plays with a lot of energy and a lot of tempo. Its ECAC Hockey, you have to play your best game to beat whoever youre playing.

U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer called on the Federal Emergency Management Agency to swiftly extend the deadline for a $4.7 million grant he helped secure in 2009 on behalf of MetalCraft Marine and the Fire Department of the City of New York.
He requested Wednesday that the deadline for MetalCraft to build a new Firestorm 70 fire-rescue boat for the department with federal funding be pushed back by a year to next May.
The custom aluminum boat builder based in Kingston, Ontario, with a boat shop in Cape Vincent plans to hire eight additional workers for the job.
Mr. Schumer said in a news release that several projects had been delayed by Hurricane Sandy last year.
MetalCraft is a top-rate company that deserves this business and our hard-working and courageous first responders need the equipment that this grant provides, he said.

LOUISVILLE An anonymous complaint that came from within the Louisville Volunteer Fire Department has cost the town more than $6,000 and put its fall cleanup in jeopardy.
Highway Superintendent Vern G. Fenlong said the complaint resulted in $4,103 in additional permitting and tipping fees, while also forcing the town to spend $2,000 to rent a bulldozer to clean up its brush pile.
Mr. Fenlong said that in the past the fire department would burn the brush pile, which often also would include lumber and plywood. However, this year, with the problems between the town and the fire department, town Supervisor Larry R. Legault said the town elected not to ask the department to take care of the brush pile.
It was considered a drill, Mr. Fenlong said, adding that after the complaint, he was contacted by the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
We could have ended up with fines, he said, adding that the town now has all the permits it needs to collect brush and leaves.
The town budgeted $15,000 this year for both the spring and fall cleanups, and the spring cleanup alone exceeded that amount, Mr. Legault said.
It sounds like were not going to have a fall cleanup, he said.
Mr. Fenlong said that while Louisville traditionally has held two cleanups per year, its the only town in the area to do so.
Without the additional fees that came as a result of the complaint, Mr. Fenlong said, spring cleanup would have cost about $9,000. He also said the fall cleanup typically costs about half as much as the spring one.
Mr. Fenlong said a final decision will not have to be made until the boards August or September meeting.
This years spring cleanup in May was held two weeks before a community meeting where the town board and fire department agreed to work out their differences.
The situation with the brush pile occurred while there were issues ongoing between the town and fire department, Mr. Legault said. Since then we have put ourselves on a path to a better relationship with them.

NORMAN — Throughout its illustrious football history — from the Selmon brothers to Brian Bosworth to Roy Williams and Rocky Calmus — Oklahoma's identity has largely depended on uncompromising, ironclad dominance on defense.
Oklahoma football: Roy Williams, Dusty Dvoracek pinpoint lack of aggression as part of OU's defensive woes
Bob Stoops reestablished that identity when he arrived in 1999 and rode it to the 2000 national championship, won in a 13-2 knockdown, drag-out Orange Bowl victory over Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Chris Weinke and Florida State.
The past few seasons, though, Oklahoma's defense hasn't lived up to Oklahoma standards. Not by a long shot.
There are plenty of reasons for the Sooners' defensive struggles — evolving offenses and recruiting busts, to name a few — but lacking aggression is a culprit, too. That's how Williams sees it, anyway.
"That guy Johnny, Johnny Football, we give him too much praise," Williams said of Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner who scorched OU's defense in a 41-13 Cotton Bowl rout.
"Watching that defense play, they were in awe playing against him. I don't really ever recall myself tackling a quarterback, slapping him on the helmet and talking to him. I think the guys now lack that dog mentality. Hopefully coach can get it back in them. Somehow, someway."
Throughout spring practices, coaches and players have said they're already playing more aggressive, especially up front. Last season, the Sooners ranked 112th nationally in tackles-for-loss per game, and recorded just 55 for the entire season.
"That's really the main difference between last year and this year," said junior defensive lineman Chuka Ndulue, who's now playing under first-year position coach Jerry Montgomery.
To put OU's lack of tackles-for-loss in 2012 into context, when the Sooners won the 2000 national championship, Williams and linebackers Rocky Calmus and Torrance Marshall combined for 45 tackles-for-loss — only 10 less than the entire OU defense made last season — and those numbers don't include the Orange Bowl (the NCAA didn't count bowl games toward team or individual statistics until 2002).
"Just the aggressive, attack-style front that has always been Bob Stoops and Oklahoma since he's been here in 1999, playing on the other side of the ball, dominating the line of scrimmage, that's not there," said former OU defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek. "As a player, that's fun. These guys that are out there playing for Oklahoma, when you're playing on the other side of the football, when you're creating havoc, when you're making plays on the other side of the line of scrimmage, that's when football is at it's best."
But the Sooners' defensive woes can also be attributed to the offenses they're up against. As college football programs have embraced the spread, no-huddle offenses that often feature dual-threat quarterbacks like Manziel, defenses nationwide have struggled to keep up.
Manziel even torched Alabama's vaunted defense in the Aggies' upset win in Tuscaloosa last season.
"We can praise Alabama all we want, right? I mean, Alabama, they've got it all figured out," Dvoracek said. "Well Johnny Manziel went there and had his way with them."
Manziel's performance against Oklahoma, though, wasn't terribly shocking because of the success other, similar offenses have had over the past few seasons against the Sooners. Robert Griffin III threw for 479 yards and four touchdowns, playing the best game of his 2011 Heisman Trophy campaign in a 45-38 win over the Sooners.

In the U.K. and Central Europe, it'll air on April 1 on Sky Atlantic and various versions of HBO (plus C-More in Scandinavia) and will air every Monday after that over its run. Other countries without these options may have different times.
Is this a miniseries? How many episodes is it?
It is a full series of 10 episodes.
Why is it called Game of Thrones?
That's the series title. The first season does indeed cover the first book, but the concept for future seasons is that each season will equal one book, more or less.

A tight pack of Carbon runners head out at the start of the only home meet for the team this season at the Carbon Country Club on Sept. 22.
Overcast skies and a threat of rain did not put a damper on the only home meet of the season for the Carbon High Dino cross country team last Wednesday afternoon. With eight teams competing, the Carbon boys took first place in the boys race and the Carbon girls were second against the girls teams.
Uintah, Emery, Union, ALA, Altamont, Green River and Grand all took the starting line with the Dinos.
For the Carbon boy's individual times; Garrett Marsing finished second overall in a time of 16:46, Cody Hunt was a close third in 16:48. Helping the team scoring Austin Pullan was fifth at 16:52; Justin Hepworth,sixth at 17:10; Kaleb Kulow came in 12th. The finish of Carson Tatton and of Luke Olsen secured the first place finish over Uintah 28-45.Skylar Larsen and Kenny Hobbs medaled as Junior Varsity.
"Regan Powell ran the most strategic race she has all season. It was all too familiar with Regan and Uintah," said coach Telisse Allen about the girls race.
For the first mile it was a pack of Powell and three Uintah girls. At mile two, Powell and the current leader from Uintah pulled away from the pack surging back and forth ahead of each other for the last mile. As they approached the finish, Powell was the closest she had been to the Uintah runner in any previous races. Uintah edged out Powell by only one second. Powell ran a new personal best for the season in a time of 19:19. Rachel Goodrich also had a great day finishing fifth in a time of 20:34. Diana Olsen took sixth in 20:26. Kristen Jewkes ended in eight at 21:33; Sierra Williams was 14th in 22:21; Karissa Nelson's first race of the season earned her 20th at 22:50; Kacylia Ivory was 21st in a time of 22:54.
Coach Allen said that Uintah was their toughest competition in both races. She also wanted to thank the golf course for letting them run it there. Waste logistics stepped up and helped with the portable restrooms and all the parent and volunteer help made the event a success.

Robo-signers. Moratoriums. Botched documents. In the midst of a complicated and crooked mess, New Deal 2.0 asked leading thinkers and activists to help navigate the maze of the foreclosure crisis. Our "Foreclosure 411" series focuses on the values inherent in explaining why we should care and what the crisis means to all of us. In the first part, Joe Costello argues that we have to measure the economy not by the size of bonuses but the well-being of Americans.
My new house
You should see my house
My new house
You should see my new house
According to the postman
It's like the bleeding Bank of England
My new house
Could easily crack a mortal in it
-- The Fall
The National Association of Realtors recently released a housing report (h/t Calculated Risk) that states:
The Pending Home Sales Index,* a forward-looking indicator, slipped 1.8 percent to 80.9 based on contracts signed in September from an upwardly revised 82.4 in August. However, the index remains 24.9 percent below a surge to 107.8 in September 2009 when first-time buyers were jumping into the market to take advantage of the initial deadline for the tax credit last November.
Sign up for weekly ND20 highlights, mind-blowing stats, event alerts, and reading/film/music recs.
Whatever other numbers you want to use to measure the economy, housing remains key. Housing was the center of the bubble and it continues to deflate. And judging from every historical precedent, it's going to continue to deflate, no matter how many times Mr. Bernanke presses ctrl-alt-shift-$. Currently 25% of people are underwater in their mortgages, with estimates that it will reach 40% within two years. Which means that all the losses the banks are hiding are only going to grow larger. Now remember, the whole housing bubble was created to literally paper over the great imbalances in the American economy that had developed over several decades, and most significantly, the stagnation of wages. Which is also why all the cries for dumping ever greater amounts of fiscal stimulus into the economy without a serious look at correcting these imbalances is just as much a crack-pipe policy as they're smoking at the Fed.
We should stop the foreclosures, write down the mortgages so people can stay in their houses, and make the banks and bondholders take their losses, breaking up and recapitalizing where necessary. We need a reevaluation of how our economy works. Instead of judging the health of the economy by Wall Street bonuses and bank profits, we need to ask what sort of life it is providing for the vast majority of Americans. Are people living better? Not just in the amount of stuff they own, but are they more secure, healthier, and living fuller lives? GNP and profit/loss numbers aren't great metrics for measuring these things. We need a societal value shift.

Innovation partnership to overcome Europe's raw materials shortages Objavljeno: 29/02/2012
Vice-President Antonio Tajani, responsible for Industry and Entrepreneurship said: "We need to join forces to tap Europe's enormous own potential of raw materials. Intensified action is required to make Europe the world leader in the capabilities related to exploration, extraction, processing, recycling and substitution by 2020. It will be the key to Europe's ability to develop today the technologies of tomorrow. Such innovation is decisive for Europe's competitiveness, sustainable growth and new jobs."
The supply of raw materials, the lifeblood of today's high-tech industry, is increasingly under pressure. With a view to increasing Europe's own production, the European Commission has proposed today to set up a European Innovation Partnership on raw materials.
Pulling together capital and human resources, Member States, companies and researchers will join innovation efforts to support exploration, extraction and processing of raw materials. For example, it has been estimated that the value of unexploited European mineral resources at a depth of 500-1,000 metres is about € 100 billion. New technologies will help to extract deeper, in more remote areas and under harsh conditions. Action is also needed to develop substitutes for critical raw materials and to improve recycling of the 17 kg electric and electronic equipment waste that each EU citizen produces annually today.
Innovation to improve access to raw materials
Innovation can be a powerful vehicle in meeting Europe's challenges in the field of raw materials. For example, advanced remote controlled operations and automation in underground mines and the innovative use of bioleaching can make mining in the EU more competitive and sustainable. New recycling techniques or waste collection and treatment best practices have a great potential to improve the efficiency and quality of the recycling of key raw materials.
This situation calls for targeted innovation and research efforts, breakthrough technologies and multidisciplinary approaches to bridge the gaps in our knowledge.
To speed this process up, the Commission proposes concrete targets to be achieved by 2020 at the latest:
Up to ten innovative pilot actions (e.g. demonstration plants) for exploration, extraction and processing, collection and recycling;
substitutes for at least three key applications of critical and scarce raw materials;
enhanced efficiency in material use and in prevention, re-use and recycling of valuable raw materials from waste streams, with a specific focus on materials having a potentially negative impact on the environment;
a Network of Research, Education and Training Centres on Sustainable Mining and Materials Management (M³);
European standardised statistical instruments for the survey of resources and reserves and a 3-D geological map;
a dynamic modelling system linking trends in supply and demand and a full lifecycle analysis;
a pro-active strategy of the EU in multi-lateral organisations and in bilateral relations, such as the US, Japan, Australia in the different areas covered by the Partnership.
Stakeholders will be invited to express their interest in being part of the Partnership in the coming weeks.
The European Innovation Partnership is not a funding instrument. Likewise, it will not replace the conventional decision-making process. Nonetheless, by defining common objectives in the fields relevant to raw materials, this Partnership will promote coherence between the different funding opportunities available.

Some people in this world never put together an outfit thatÂ's less than perfect (cough: Vanessa Traina). Such gifted visionaries may be able to get dressed with ease and excellent results, but for the rest of us, assembling a great look usually requires quite of bit of trial and error. Though experience is the most brutalÂ--and, dare we say it, bestÂ--teacher,* there are other ways to acquire key wardrobe information besides going through the sartorial crucible yourself.
One easy solution for creating your own mistake-free outfits is to look to todayÂ's MySpace Muses for inspiration. These stylish ladies from our international community of friends offer up lots of smart ways to wear the latest trends. Kari, 21, Mexico (top row, far left) tucked a simple white tee into a plaid skirtÂ--try James PerseÂ's
Casual Tee
($44) with Arden BÂ's. Plaid Pencil Skirt ($78)Â--for a sleekly stylish look. We love how Tamara, 27, Wisconsin (top row, middle) made her all-black outfit more interesting by adding a few strong brown accessories. Punch up your own noir ensembles with MiaÂ's Empire Gladiator Sandals
($63) and Urban OutfittersÂ' Sabina Foldover Satchel ($245). As you know, we adore little leather jackets and like how Andrea, 24, Amsterdam (top row, far right) wore hers with some of-the-moment baggy cropped trousers. If you donÂ't have an abbreviated moto, try bebeÂ's Cropped Motorcycle Jacket ($249), and check out Silence & NoiseÂ's Ankle Roll Pant ($68) for similar bottoms.
This crop of muses also gave us great examples of how to mix different styles together. Olivia, 16, Boston (bottom row, far left) balanced out the inherent preppiness of a cable knit cardi by wearing it over a graphic tee. If youÂ'd like to emulate her outfit, J. Crew has a fantastic Cambridge Cardigan
($88), available in twelve colors, and AlloyÂ's Freddy Mercury Tee ($19) would be perfect underneath. Nita, 23, Finland (bottom row, middle) shows us how to work the over-the-top look of over-the-knee boots into an everyday outfitÂ--just wear them with a pair of opaque tights! Chinese LaundryÂ's Turbo Boots
($99) are a great guilt-free way to try this shoe style. Finally, we have Hanah, 19, Toronto (bottom row, far right). She diffused her blouseÂ's girly ruffles (Ali RoÂ's Ruffled Blouse
($152) is darling) by tucking the top into a sharp pair of tailored trousers. Playing feminine pieces against masculine ones is always a savvy choice.
As always, our search for new muses is ongoing, so don't hesitate to recommend yourself or a friend. Just email us (firstname.lastname@example.com) your name, age, email address, a link to your MySpace page, and the best full-length shots that convey your personal style!
*Thanks C.S. Lewis

*This giveaway is now closed.*
Although Princess P is only 17 months old, I have heard it is never too early to start potty training. But picking a potty that your child will actually use is half the battle. I have seen potties that are inflatable, potties with cartoon characters on them and potties that sing. All of those seemed too distracting. We wanted a potty that was simple and got the job done. So when the BabyBjörn Smart Potty was brought to our attention I knew that it was the one.
Founded in 1961, BabyBjörn is a family-owned Swedish company. Their goal from the beginning has been to simplify everyday activities for parents and small children by developing innovative products for children up to age three. BabyBjörn has worked closely with pediatricians from the start. The valuable information and comments they provide are vital, both in connection with new products and the ongoing development of existing products.
BabyBjörn very generously sent us their newest potty, the Smart Potty in red, to review. At first glance the Smart Potty looks like a combination of BabyBjörn's Potty Chair and Little Potty with each of their best features. The Smart Potty is the perfect size, fitting wonderfully in our downstairs half bath. Since it has a smaller design, the Smart Potty is ideal if you have two bathrooms (upstairs and downstairs) or even to take on trips. It also comes in bright, bold colors and a sleek design to get your little one's attention. The Smart Potty is easy to clean and the gripping on the bottom keeps it in one place.
So it is attractive and convenient but is is functional? When it first arrived Princess P had a hard time getting over the splash guard (which I guess is perfect for boys). Every time she would sit down she would sit right on it. It didn't take long for that problem to go away and another one to arise. We could not get her off of it! She would sit on it not to go potty, but to read books and play with her stuffed animals. Well, at least she is interested in it! Everyday we work with her on the Smart Potty and I am sure she will be going on it before we know it (at least I hope!).
To Enter: You must visit BabyBjörn and tell me another product you love AND what color Smart Potty you would choose if you were the lucky winner.

Please leave a separate comment for each entry. If you blog about this giveaway please leave 5 separate comments.
Giveaway will end on November 19th at 11:59pm ET. The winner will be chosen by random.org and announced here as well as emailed. The winner will have 48 hours to contact me or a new winner will be chosen. Giveaway open to US and Canada.
A big thank you to BabyBjörn for this review and giveaway opportunity!
This review is based strictly my opinion. Others may have a different opinion or experience with the product listed above. BabyBjörn provided the potty and I provided my honest opinion. No other type compensation was received for this review.
