Whether it was the introduction of Dior's "new look," or the decade's beautiful leading ladies-including Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, and Katharine Hepburn-you have to admit there's something so incredibly elegant and timeless about 1940s fashion. Admittedly, we're suckers for this romantic era, and as such were delighted to find a full-blown redux of the '40s on the F/W 11 runways, where designers like Nanette Lepore and Marc Jacobs showcased longer skirts, nipped waistlines, peplums, and tailored jackets. The look is simple yet simultaneously glamorous, so it's no wonder that starlets like Kirsten Dunst and Diane Kruger have already embraced its old-Hollywood appeal. We're mad about these '40s-inspired looks and are positive you'll love them too!
There were many different influences that drove '40s fashion, which ultimately lead to a variety of silhouettes and key styles, many of which were showcased on the runways this season. Nanette Lepore addressed the early part of the decade, when knitted, tailored jackets were wildly popular and often worn with skirts or dresses in similar fabrics. In the look above, Lepore paired the green tweed Tickle Me Jacket ($398, 212.219.8265) with matching Seduce Me Skirt ($248, 212.219.8265), and made the retro look modern by giving the jacket of-the-moment leather sleeves. Over at Louis Vuitton, Creative Director Marc Jacobs also channeled the early '40s, via a sober color palette and rounded shoulders and collars, which can be seen in the Tecno Fur Dress above, which was sadly not produced. Finally, at the Marc Jacobs F/W 11 show, the designer gave us slimmer, unfussy silhouettes that were a nod to the mid-40s. For one of our favorite outfits, Jacobs paired the Jersey Crepe Round Neck Blouse ($995) with the Double Face Stretch Crepe Skirt with Glitter Dots ($1400), resulting in an incredibly chic, streamlined look.
Not surprisingly, these '40s-inspired looks are a smash off the runways as well! For example, Diane Kruger arrived at a Miu Miu party in Beverly Hills earlier this summer wearing said fashion house's Sable Embroidered Dress ($4105, select Miu Miu boutiques) with a Suede Clutch ($1750, select Miu Miu boutiques). We particularly like the frock's bold shoulders and floral-emblazoned sleeves-floral prints were quite popular during that era-which are the epitome of '40s style. A few months later, at a GQ party during the Toronto International Film Festival, Kirsten Dunst opted for a slightly more conservative take on the '40s look when she paired a polka dot Prada blouse with a pleated, ankle-grazing Chanel skirt. We'd also like to point out that both ladies opted for half up, half down hairdos, which further enhances the retro spirit of their after-hours ensembles.
Now that we've covered both the runway and real way approaches to the 40s look, it's time to talk products! With loads of fabulous pieces available on the market, there are plenty of ways to incorporate a hint of this romantic era into your fall wardrobe. We'd like to first direct you to Carven's Tailored Flannel Jacket ($800), which is a must for anyone hoping to channel the '40s. The grayish hue is incredibly versatile, plus the padded shoulders make for a bold look. We recommend wearing it with a knee-length skirt, like Robert Rodriguez's Pleated Skirt ($295) in Gold, as it offers a great contrast to the jacket's sharp tailoring, resulting in the ultimate '40s-inspired look. Dress seekers are sure to fall in love with Rebecca Taylor's Ghost Flower Cut-Out Dress ($425, 212.243.2600 ) in Black, which features a darling print, slimming long sleeve, and nipped waistline. For those of you hoping to put together a more casual take on the trend, the Blackmoor Fair Isle Sweater ($128) from J. Crew is the perfect piece, thanks to the crew neckline and intricate stitching.
When it comes to accessories, we think Burberry Prorsum's Medium Hedwig Bowling Bag ($2195, 212.407.7100) in Bright Caper is a spot-on selection. Why, you may ask? Women in the '40s typically opted for smaller bags and clutches, so this carrier's ladylike shape and petite size embody the look perfectly. Now, our footwear pick for today's story was quite easy: Diane von Furstenberg's Finn Suede Platform Pumps Finn Suede Platform Pumps ($295) in Bottle Green. We like that the dark green suede isn't too flashy (neutral and darker hues were key in the '40s), plus the heel's platform and delicate ankle strap speak to the feminine and elegant fashions of the decade. And of course, this look wouldn't be complete without a pair of sunnies, hence our inclusion of Betsey Johnson's Crazy Cat Eye Sunglasses ($55)! The retro shades will add just the right amount of '40s flare to your wardrobe this season.
But wait, there's more! In addition to clothing and accessories, a few key beauty products are essential when achieving the '40s look. If you're not a fan of bright red lipstick, try China Glaze's Nail Polish ($5) in City Siren instead; it will give your '40s-inspired outfit a sultry finish. Finally, the era was all about a pretty pink cheek-very feminine and "natural"-hence our recommendation of Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Blush ($45) in Rose. With a powder formula, this blush gives you a long-lasting, natural-looking glow that's gorgeous, glamorous, and essential for that fabulous '40s look!-Jessica Baker

I don't see how age factors into a comparison of Race locked classes...
Got bored by level 10, maybe the combat will be good when I get more skills
I actually have no problem with the art style. The game feels lifeless, though. Combat is ... a bit bland. It doesn't feel action-ish like GW2 even though GW2 uses Tabbing while WS is free-aim. GW2 combat just flows better for me.
Gonna give this a shot again I guess.
I feel like most complaints are coming from people that played the first five levels in one sitting and walked away. I'm not normally one to get bothered by critique but if you call WildStar 'generic,' you can go wash your mouth out with soap. Carbine goes out of their way to push their features outside the typical box of MMORPG games at every turn.
Id rather risk confusing some people than disappointing them. - Mark Jacobs

I would have loved to try this game, but I don't think my laptop could handle it; perhaps this summer I'll have built a decent enough rig and if it's still going, I might give it a shot for a month and see if I like it. I hear a lot of common things from people who have tried it: character creation is a little shallow (it is in GW2, too! Or at least I thought so...), people don't like the race-locked classes, the art style is kind of in-your-face quirky which detracts from ambiance and tone, people say the classes themselves don't 'connect' with them if that makes sense (like, think of Wow. If you're a hunter, it's part of your in-game identity. You and that blue porcupine have been through a lot together, after all), the combined elements of story, ambiance and environment don't portray a sense of grandness or an impending struggle, there isn't much of an RP community (again, this is what I have been told! I have no idea)...I could go on.
I can say one thing though. Looking at videos/screencaptures of this game make me think it was conceived of mostly by looking at raw market statistics. But it's unfair for me to make judgments like this because I haven't physically played it myself, just seen some footage of it.
If anything, if/when I do play it, I will so appreciate the wardrobe system. I adore this in RIFT; even with that game's somewhat limited number of armor sets, it adds so much possibility.

Braidwood Generating Station Unit 2 automatically shut down at 11:41 a.m. today. The plant responded as expected, safely and without incident.
BRACEVILLE, Ill. (April 24, 2009) - Braidwood Generating Station Unit 2 automatically shut down at 11:41 a.m. today. The plant responded as expected, safely and without incident.
Although the cause is still being reviewed, initial indications point to a faulty circuit in a temperature monitoring system.
The Braidwood Unit 2 shutdown will not have an impact on electrical service to Exelon customers. Braidwood Unit 1 continues to operate at full power.
Braidwood Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units running at full power, Braidwood generates enough electricity to power more than 2 million average American homes.
Planned Maintenance Performed On Dresden Unit 3Maintenance will help ensure continued safe, reliable operation MORRIS, Ill. (April 24, 2009) - Operators at Dresden Generating Station took Unit 3 offline at 1 a.m. to replace a valve inside the unit's primary containment structure, or drywell. The valve replacement is a proactive step that will help ensure the continued safe and reliable operation of the unit.
The work, which cannot be performed while the unit is operating, is being done to address slight degradation of the valve that the station has been monitoring.
The removal of Dresden Unit 3 from service will not affect the supply of electricity to those living in the area. Unit 2 will continue to operate during the station's planned maintenance outage.
Dresden Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two operating units can produce more than 1,700 megawatts net of electricity per hour. Dresden Unit 1, which began commercial operation in 1960 and was retired in 1978, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Multiple Carbon County law enforcement agencies continue to look for a single suspect following a high speed chase which began on State Road 123 at approximately 1 a.m. early Saturday morning. The suspect, described as a male of medium height and build wearing jeans and a red hooded sweatshirt, managed to escape capture by fleeing on foot into a wooded area just west of the city of East Carbon.
The incident began when East Carbon Police Officer Shawn Sackett noticed a vehicle driving east toward East Carbon without official plates.
"I observed a vehicle all over the road, didn\'t have any plates on it, no temp tags. So I initiated a stop on it at approximately mile post 3 on SR 123. I initiated my lights and sirens, the vehicle failed to yield and began to take off," explained Sackett. "Speeds reached as high as 95 miles-per-hour as we traveled through East Carbon via the highway."
According to the East Carbon Police Officer, the vehicle turned off of 123 at a high rate of speed and proceeded down a local utility road, know in East Carbon as the "golf course road." Once on the unpaved surface, Sackett reportedly had a much easier time tracking the suspect as all East Carbon officers are equipped with off-road vehicles. Sackett currently patrols in a Hummer Alpha.
"He made it as far as the city\'s old water treatment plant west of town and was trying to turn around coming back at me when he spun out," said Sackett. "The driver then left the vehicle and ran into the cedars."
Sackett reported that he checked the vehicle at this time and found that the driver\'s side window had been broken and there were no keys in the ignition.
"The lack of keys led me to believe that the vehicle was definitely stolen, which we later confirmed," said Sackett. "After we ran the VIN we were able to determine that the vehicle came from Extreme Automotive. From what I understand they had recently purchased the vehicle from auction."
Definite vehicle identification was not immediately available from the Price PD, however Sackett reported that the car in question was most likely a late 80s or early 90s model IROC Z Camaro.
"The vehicle had not been reported stolen prior to the incident, so we were able to get on this case early," said the EC Police Officer.
Officer Sackett explained that there were several circumstances which kept him from immediately pursuing the suspect after he fled on foot.
"I didn\'t have any battery left in my pack set (an officer\'s mobile radio) so I would not have been able to communicate with dispatch," explained the officer. "I could not see his hands so I didn\'t know if he was armed and because the vehicle could be started without keys, I didn\'t feel safe leaving him the opportunity to double back and restart the car."
According to the East Carbon Officer, inter-agency cooperation was great concerning this case. Both the Price Police Department and Carbon County Sheriff\'s Office responded immediately and assisted on the subsequent two hour man hunt.
"Because of the extreme cold it was very difficult to locate any kind of trail," reported East Carbon Chief Sam Leonard. "However, we still beat the brush for the better part of two hours."
The Carbon County Sheriff\'s Office brought their infrared technology to the search allowing officers to search a large portion of land in a relatively small amount of time.
According to Sackett, both the East Carbon and Price city police have several leads to follow concerning the missing suspect and while he reported no cause for alarm, he did ask that East Carbon and Sunnyside citizens remain vigilant.
"Please report any unknown individuals or strange behavior," concluded Sackett. "And make sure to keep your cars and homes locked, not necessarily because of this case but for the general safety of you and your family."

Discussion in Washington of potential military base closures has drawn a negative response from U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, and other supporters of Fort Drum.
Katherine G. Hammack, assistant secretary of the Army for installations, energy and environment, said during last weeks Association of the United States Army conference that Congress eventually will authorize another round of Base Realignment and Closure, or BRAC, according to comments published in Army Times.
The BRAC comments are in line with others she has made during previous public appearances, as the Army faces billions of dollars in budget cuts connected to sequestration. However, past attempts to close installations have faced stiff opposition from Congress.
Mr. Owens said he does not support another BRAC round. Before supporting such cuts, Mr. Owens said, he would have to see more research on which posts could be closed.
I have not seen an actual analysis of facilities that would lead me to that conclusion, he said.
Ms. Hammack also said another BRAC round would allow the Army to reduce infrastructure in line with the overall reduction of troops within the next few years.
The Army has been cutting brigades in a move to get its active-duty soldier count down to 490,000, but multiple leaders have said additional cuts may take place if sequestration continues. The timetable for those brigade cuts, including the 10th Mountain Divisions 3rd Brigade Combat Team, also has been moved up.
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno said the timeline has been moved up to inactivate those brigades by fiscal year 2015 rather than by 2017.
F. Anthony Keating, civilian aide to the secretary of the Army, said the potential for BRAC is a result of the sequestration cuts being done with little regard for their impact on the militarys future effectiveness.
That, to me, is short-sighted, Mr. Keating said. We can make the budget numbers, but well end up handicapping future generations that may need to stand up large numbers of ground forces.
Carl A. McLaughlin, executive director of the Fort Drum Regional Liaison Organization, called the possibility of BRAC a challenge.
You never want it, but you take it on, he said.
Both Mr. Keating and Mr. McLaughlin were in attendance for the associations conference, which was held Oct. 21 to 23.
Based on the fiscal challenges brought on by the federal budgetary rules, Mr. McLaughlin said that at some point in time, its going to face us, even though Congress may be hesitant.
If another BRAC round were to happen, all three said, Fort Drum has positive aspects that would make it hard to close, such as its expansive training resources and the work of the 10th Mountain Division during conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I cant imagine that the chief would be harsher on a unit that has been so versatile and so effective in dealing with so many different kinds of missions, Mr. Keating said. That to me would not be the kind of unit youd want to sacrifice readiness on.

A look back at the memorable moments that happened on Nov. 11.
1958: Hank Ballard and The Midnighters recorded the original version of "The Twist." It became a number-one hit in 1960 after Chubby Checker recorded it.
1965: The Velvet Underground made their concert debut at a high school dance in Summit, New Jersey.
1969: The Doors lead singer Jim Morrison was arrested for public drunkenness and for interfering with the flight of an aircraft. Morrison allegedly had annoyed a flight attendant on a trip from Los Angeles to Phoenix. The charges eventually were dropped.
1972: Bassist Berry Oakley of the Allman Brothers Band was killed in a motorcycle crash in Macon, Georgia. The accident occurred three blocks from the site of a crash that took the life of Duane Allman a year earlier.
1997: Metallica played a free concert in the parking lot of the CoreStates complex in Philadelphia. The band had gone to court and won the right to do so after CoreStates officials bowed to pressure from city council members and neighbors who opposed the show.

Submission Mesa County, CO Sheriff authorized to use drones 'similar to a K-9 unit'->
v3rgEz writes: "The sheriff in Mesa County, CO is one of the few law enforcement agencies in the country authorized to use drones in the field, documents indicate, and the local police is making full use of the capability. The documents, the result of a EFF/MuckRock FOIA request, shed further light on how one of the early pioneers of drone policing is integrating man and robot on the beat."

LISBON At Thursdays Board of Education meeting, members debated the benefits of higher and lower tax levies but decided to hold off on a decision, hoping the state will deliver more aid to the district.
The states final budget for 2013-14 is due April 1. The Lisbon Central School District is looking at a $12.2 million proposed budget.
The board is considering a 4-percent increase in the tax levy, raising $3,121,927, or a 5.08 percent increase that would raise $3,154,494.
The 4 percent increase would result in a $173,164 shortfall, while the 5.08 percent increase would result in a $140,597 shortfall.
One of the boards goals is to keep a consistent tax rate, Superintendent Erin E. Woods said.
She said the district isnt receiving enough state aid. The amount is projected to be $6.3 million this year, an increase of $127,056 over last year.
But Ms. Woods said operating costs, including pensions, are increasing faster than revenue streams. In an effort to save money, the district this year will not fill two positions vacated due to retirements.
We cant continue to cut programs, cut staff and have a negative impact on our students, Ms. Woods said. We have to have a good balance.
Advocating a 5.08 percent increase, Ms. Woods said taxpayers would feel it, but its not horrible. ... The smaller the shortfall, the better in terms of staff and students.
Board Vice President Larry Doyle said, I dont want to have to pay any more taxes than I absolutely have to, but $140,000 is easier to come up with than $173,000. What are we going to do if we have to start cutting more people?
But support for increasing the levy by 5.08 percent faltered when board President Blake P. Gendebien said, The 4 percent is important to me.
Mr. Gendebien said the board has traditionally kept the tax levy increase under 4 percent a year and said he wants to do everything to keep it there for the 2013-14 school year.
Business Manager Wendy S. White said she would keep studying the budget for options. Ms. Woods said the school also will look into raising the levy by 4.5 percent.
Board member Scott Walker said, If its just under 5 (percent) it might be easier to pass (the budget).

Prominent U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released a report documenting President Obama's lawless attempts to expand executive power, citing six failed efforts since 2012 to increase federal authority that were rejected by the entire Supreme Court — even by his own big government-supporting nominees. Among the examples of executive-branch power grabs cited by the popular Republican Senator: tracking citizens using GPS without having probable cause, interfering with churches, depriving property owners of the ability to challenge federal abuses in court, seeking the authority to override state laws at will, and more.
The hard-hitting report, entitled "The Legal Limit: The Obama Administration's Attempts to Expand Federal Power," cites numerous cases to argue that the president's lust for increased power knows essentially no limits. In fact, the administration's lawlessness has become "so extreme" that Obama's own picks for the Supreme Court — Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, both infamous for their devotion to broad federal authority — have ruled against him in half-a-dozen recent cases with serious ramifications.
"When President Obama's own Supreme Court nominees join their colleagues in unanimously rejecting his administration's call for broader federal power six times in just over one year, the inescapable conclusion is that the Obama administration's view of federal power knows virtually no bounds," Sen. Cruz said in a statement, adding that the problem deserves further scrutiny. "This is a deeply troubling pattern that we will continue to highlight as long as this administration continues seeking ways to expand its power in direct violation of Americans' constitutional rights."
If the Obama administration had been successful in the first of the six cases detailed in the report, United States v. Jones, the federal government would have been allowed to attach a GPS to a citizen's vehicle and track his or her movements. According to the arguments advanced by the Department of Justice, the federal government and police should have the ability to monitor citizens even without having any cause to believe that the subject has committed or will perpetrate a crime.

|The Carbon Dinos recently competed in the Timpview Invitational finishing quite strong. Danielle Julian had a great performance with a sixth place finish in the 400 meter dash. Julian also competed in the 4x400 relay with Dino teammates.
The Dinos track and field team are on fire. The team has proved to be successful, placing in each meet attended. The talented team has many meets on the agenda, including the state finals to be held later this year. Several competitiors have already qualified for this event, some of which succeded at this task this past week.
The Timpview Invitational was held April 4-5, hosting 30 of Utah's 3A and 4A track and field teams, and also several teams from Colorado. The meet gave the Carbon High team an opportunity to shine brightly as most of the athletes completed some to their personal best performances.
In the girls division, Dino Melanie Madsen placed third in the 3200 meter event. Madsen completed the event in 12 minutes eight seconds which was a state qualifying time. Because of her exceptional performance, Madsen is now automatically placed in the state championships in the 3200 meter run.
In the high jump competition, Alicia Torres placed sixth with a leap of five feet, while Danielle Julian also placed sixth in the 400 meter dash.
The Lady Dino relay team also looked promising in the 4x400 relay run. Julian, Stephanie Cox, Jessica Serfustini, and Cora Broadbear had an excellent performance, however falling short of placing in the event.
Despite not making it into the final round of the discus throw by only one place, Becky Unsworth had an outstanding meet.
Up and coming athletes for the Dinos who had outstanding performances at the Timpview meet include Brittany Horrocks, Andraya Newby, Ashley Rowley, and Emily Rice.
The Dinos also had a tremendous performance by the men. Lee Prettyman placed second in the javelin with a throw of 159 feet three inches. This finish automatically qualified Prettyman in the state finals to be held in May at BYU. Prettyman has been constantly improving with each meet this season, and has successfully placed at each meet.
Seth Marsing won his heat in the boys 800 meter run in a time of 2:05.1, while Scott Terry also won his heat in the boys 3200 meter run with a time of 10:18.57 and the 1600 meter in 4:44.
The boys put together a 4x800 meter relay at the beginning of the meet. The team included Terry, Jacob Burrows, Cody Butler, and Issac Goodrich. The event is new and not many Utah high schools have teams to compete in the event. Carbon did however compete and placed sixth out of 20 teams that competed. The boys all ran personal best times, with Terry running the fastest with a time of 2:03.
Dino athletes that had good performances and have shown improvement include Nathan Swasey and Ted Donaldson in the throwing events, Bryan Stewart in the hurdles, T.J. Potts in jumping event, Joseph Palmer in sprints, and Brennan Woodward. These athletes continue to improve and are expected to be strong competitors at the next couple of meets.
As the season progresses, so does the Dino team. State qualifing rounds continue to spread throughout the tournament scene.
The Timpview meet had an extraordinary turnout. There were several heats held in all the events because of the large number of teams that participated. In the 1600 meters alone, there were 100 boys and 100 girls that competed in the event.
Not only were the numbers of participants strong, but also the times and distances in all the events. In fact, the discus throw was so competitive that the field was not set up for such long distances. The restraining net for the discus throw also found the opening to a long distance discus thrown through the netting. Unfortunately, the discus went through the net, hitting an athlete in the face. The moment was intense and the ambulance was summonsed.
Thankfully, the situation turned out better than first expected with the victim placing his hand over his face, resulting in less severe injuries. It is unknown where the athlete was from and what extend the injuries were, but it said that the victim is on the road to a speedy recovery.
The meet had so many participants, that it continued on into the dark hours of the day. The event moved slowly as competitors raced for glory.
Dino coach Elias Perez was very impressed with all the athletes and looks forward to the next meet which took place April 8 in North Sanpete.

By JAMES SELBYPrice
The United States Department of Transportation is poised to kick the border wide open to trucks from Mexico operating throughout the U.S. This will have a very real effect on all highway users. DOT says safety and security programs are in place. This is a joke.
Truckers in the United States must hold a valid commercial driver's license with 10 years of driving history. For the Mexican equivalent, we won't know if these drivers are trained as truckers or terrorists.
United States truckers are required to be drug and alcohol tested and to follow hours of service regulations for driving time. No such regulations exist in Mexico.
DOT says every truck will be inspected at the border. Not likely. They inspect less than 4 percent right now. And what will these trucks haul into the U.S.? Could be people or drugs or dirty bombs. We won't know.
Why the rush to open the border? The answer is money. The United States Chamber of Commerce believes we need more trucks and cheaper labor. So, safety is compromised and American drivers lose their jobs. Doesn't sound like anyone in this country wins.
Right now, there are definitely more questions than answers. And until the DOT can assure the public that Mexican trucks are just as safe as U.S. trucks, the border must stay closed.
Contact your elected officials today and tell them to keep the border closed.

MONTAGUE An Oswego County man was injured in a snowmobile crash at 7:37 p.m. Tuesday on Sears Pond Road in the town of Montague.
Lewis County sheriffs deputies said Gary E. Jones, 58, Fulton, was driving west on a 2011 Ski-Doo 600 when he failed to negotiate a curve, causing his sled to go off the road over an embankment and flip over. Mr. Jones was ejected and landed in brush and branches about 30 feet off the road, deputies said.
He was taken by helicopter to Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, for treatment of chest and back injuries.
The investigation is continuing, deputies said, and charges may be pending.
Lewis County Search and Rescue assisted at the scene.

UBS news
Changes to the UBS Board of Directors
Zurich/Basel, 3 February 2012 – The UBS Board of Directors will nominate Beatrice Weder di Mauro and Isabelle Romy for election as new members of the Board at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 3 May 2012. Bruno Gehrig, along with Kaspar Villiger, will not stand for reelection.
Beatrice Weder di Mauro, born in 1965, has been a professor of economics, economic policy and international macroeconomics at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz since 2001. Since 2004 she has been a member of the German Council of Economic Experts. Between 1994 and 1997 she was an economist for the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, and since 2010 she has been a member of the European Advisory Group of the IMF.
Isabelle Romy, born in 1965, is a partner at the Swiss law firm Niederer Kraft & Frey, which is based in Zurich and active internationally. She specializes in international litigation and arbitration. In addition, she has been an associate professor at the University of Fribourg and at the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) since 1996. Between 2003 and 2008, she served as a deputy judge at the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. Since 2002 she has been a member of the Sanction Commission of the SIX Swiss Exchange and has been its Vice-Chairman since 2008.
UBS Board Chairman Kaspar Villiger commented "I thank Bruno Gehrig for his commitment to, and the valuable expertise he displayed while serving in, the UBS Board. At the same time I am pleased to propose to shareholders two internationally recognized personalities in Beatrice Weder di Mauro and Isabelle Romy, both of whom are highly regarded even outside expert circles, for election to the Board. I am convinced that the valuable experience they have gained in the economic and legal spheres will enrich the Board and prove advantageous to UBS."
Axel Weber, who supports both nominations, will, subject to election to the Board, take over as Chairman as was already communicated on 15 November 2011.
UBS's 2012 Annual General Meeting will take place on 3 May in the Zurich Hallenstadion.

'To be an ultimate fan, that's what you've got to do'
ALBANY,Ore. - When the Ducks won the 2011 Civil War against the Beavers, 50-year-old James Hartzell knew just what to do.
"I put my yellow hair on, I painted my beard green. I'm an all out Duck fanatic!" said Hartzell.
But when the Ducks earned a trip to the Rose Bowl ...
"I wanted to get a tattoo for the Ducks," Hartzell said. "I've been a Ducks fan for years, and I decided to go with the Oregon 'O'."
That wasn't it.
"When we went to the Rose Bowl, I thought: no matter what happens I'm gonna get Roses put on there," said Hartzell.
So what if the Ducks had - gasp - lost?
"It wouldn't have mattered," Hartzell said. "I'd still have done it anyways to support my team."
He's not the only one claiming to be a forever fan.
"We've been doing a lot of variations on the 'O' and different things with the wings," said PermaGrafix Tattoos owner Chris 'K.C.' Whitaker.
But it's not just during football season that PermaGrafix sees sales for college sports tattoos skyrocket, it's year round.
"You can only get so many shirts and hats," Whitaker said. "The tattoo is the ultimate expression of the way you want to represent your team."
While some fans opt for temporary tattoos that will eventually wash off, Hartzell is inking his love for the Ducks permanently.
"If you're going to be an ultimate fan, that's what you've got to do," said Hartzell.
How will he top this permanent reminder?
"Well, when they win the national championship," Hartzell said, "maybe a giant national championship trophy tattooed on my leg or something."
This is Hartzell's fifth tattoo, his first one for the Oregon Ducks.
The fanaticism runs in the family: Hartzell's son, Dakota, got an Oregon "O", complete with Duck wings, inked across his back for his 18th birthday.

There have been a lot of questions about the constitutionality — constitutional interpretations of a few decisions you've made, so I'll just simply ask: Do you believe the War Powers Act is constitutional?
— NBC News White House reporter Chuck Todd, question to President Obama in June 29 press conference.
President Obama replied by not answering Chuck Todd's question, and entering into a defense of his Libyan war:
Now, when you look at the history of the War Powers resolution, it came up after the Vietnam War in which we had half-a-million soldiers there, tens of thousands of lives lost, hundreds of billions of dollars spent — and Congress said, you know what, we don't want something like that happening again. So if you're going to start getting us into those kinds of commitments you've got to consult with Congress beforehand.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
Happy Dad's Day!
Turds of Endearment
You run into some of the most lovely parents in mall play areas, don't you?*
I recall one particularly memorable dad and his toddler daughter from a few years ago, more for his words than his actions. To cut to the chase, on several occasions I heard him call his little girl a turd. Affectionately. As in "Oh, just look at you running around and playing you little turd."
It's the kind of thing you witness in simple disbelief. How can a parent think it's right, okay, normal, or even funny to call his kid a name that, in a nutshell, means "s***?" To me that's just telling your daughter "you know what, I really just wanted a son, so I'm going to start degrading you as a human being right now."
With that kind of start, things can only possibly go one way… downhill:
"You graduated college, way to go you moronic half-wit!"
"You're engaged? What's the piece of crap's name?!?"
"I love you so much, stupid!"
"I'm so happy to have you as my daughter, you %#^~¥@%# %#^£€%%#*£ing %##?!¥."
Downhill, indeed.
It's time to really start thinking about the language we are using towards our children and realizing that we're messing with their lives, their selves and their futures. And this message isn't just for the dad with the incredibly poor choice of verbiage when it comes to the "terms of endearment" he chooses for his child. All of us parents need to remember that our children are human beings and deserve to be treated as such. Not one of us is infallible, and every one of us has room to improve the way we treat and talk to our kids.
There is little doubt in my mind that turd-dad was once called degrading things by his own mother and/or father, and he has only learned to pass this on to his own child. Ignorance begets ignorance. Take a deep, self-reflective look at your own parenting style. What legacy are you passing on to your children?
* sarcasm
No You Can't Marry Daddy
Dads (and Moms too): Isn't it cute when your little boy or girl looks up at you and let's you know that when they're all grown up they want to get married… …to you?
Yes, that's right. That's not cute, that's creepy. And weird.
But what do children know about life, anyway? If they knew everything, they wouldn't need us, would they? After all, it only gets weirder. You see, the daughter of the artist of this fine website has a play-date-friend who she stated that she would like to marry someday… a play-date-friend who also happens to be another girl.
So what do you say when your 3yo daughter tells you she wants to marry her 3yo female compadre when she grows up? A woman marrying *gasp* another woman??
Sorry, but this situation isn't creepy anymore, and it's not really weird, either… unless you happen to live in a cave.
…now you have to explain it to a small kid, who really isn't ready for absolutely every detail about the things that grown-ups do in this world…
…do you tell her that some day she might marry her tiny BFF? How about that they can get married but if they want kids they might need a little (*ahem*) help. Or you can just go straight-up with the whole "marriage is for a mommy and a daddy" line.
Sure you can roll with that last one, but beware that by the time your kid is all grown up she'll know a few truths about existence.* I'm sticking with the one answer that I know how to give:
"When you're old enough to get married, you'll know who you want to marry.
"…and I can guarantee it won't be Daddy."**
* Unless, of course, you brainwash her just right
** (or Mommy)
Dad Vs. Dad
I always thought that parental blogging wars were best left to the bloggerhood of moms. Fights like Bottle Vs. Breast, Spanking Vs. Timeouts, and Drunk Mom Vs. Sober Mom and more rage throughout the maternal side of the internet on a daily and nightly basis. I thought that Dad bloggers, at least this one in particular, were immune.
Begun the Dad War has.
It started recently as a variation of one of the more popular internet mother battles – the Working Mom Vs. Stay At Home Mom*. This inevitable dogfight is that of the SAHD Vs. The Working Dad, and neither side is giving up his foothold. Both think they are doing their job, and each side feels like their territory is being infringed upon by the other.
The SAHD cares for his kids by being a modern day multi-tastic parental whirlwind of caregiving power. He overcomes male stereotypes, has a great sense of how to raise his kids his way, and knows what to do in order to keep his parental working counterpart on top of the game as well. Cooking? Cake. Cleaning? Easy. Diapers? No problemo. The SAHD does it all and a little bit more, and is on call 24/7 for his family. That's always.
Working Dad, on the other hand, is the epitome of what a Dad was made to do. He brings home the bacon, wins the bread and wears the pants. His adoring family is waiting for him when he walks in the door at the end of a hard day so he can put his feet up, eat his homecooked meal, spend some time with his wife and kids, and hit the hay. Why does his his family treat him right? Because he works hard for the money. Honey.
It was only a matter of time before these two dads began to butt heads in an all out brawl for the battle of who is a better father. Which one am I? Right now, I am Working Dad.
What about SAHD? Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. And no, he's not dead. He's me.
Here's the deal. I spent a good portion of my time as an at-home-dad, and now that I've got some time in as a working parent, I've found that I still get to do all the things I used to do for my family. It's certainly not easy, but such are the choices we make. I choose to do as much as I can to try to be the most I can for my family.
But that's just me, people. The most important thing for other familes is that they choose the roles that fit them best. Silly little battles of my personal choice versus your personal choice are just that – silly. What's the point of fighting, even, when there are other families who are in their situation without the luxury of choice? This applies to all the "battles" of parenting: moms who can't breast feed for medical reasons; dads and moms who lost their jobs and don't have a choice of who is staying at home; widowed single parents.
The list of situations that aren't you are endless. Stop fighting them and start winning your own battles. My own rages on, but I'll keep fighting until I can just be "Dad."
* More popularly known as SAHMs which is so much cooler sounding than SAHD or "Sad."
[Note: While Phil begins his journey down Working Dad Road, John is continuing the path of SAHD/at-home-part-time-working dad. One of the reasons we started this blog to begin with was that we both simply wanted to be better dads. I can't speak for John, but I'm pretty sure we've achieved that, although many challenges await both of us, as well as all parents. Let's fight together! And we'll never forget our awesome, hardworking wives, either, without whom the fight would be unimaginably more difficult. _Phil]
Fear and Coasting
Is that not one of the best exclamations you can make as a parent?
My younger of two had a fantastic breakthrough at the State Fair last weekend. She decided to man up and stop being afraid of riding some of the "bigger" children's rides. Prior to that event, she wouldn't go on Ferris wheels, roller coasters, and some of the faster spinny rides. I would ask her when her big sister would go on them if she wanted to as well, and her answer was always no, and I'd leave it at that.
The last "issue" we had with her riding rides was two years ago at the same event. She wanted to go on one of the innocuous slow-spinning rides, but once the ride started the tears started flowing while I helplessly pleaded with her from outside of the fence to "oh please please just don't try to get out please please…" until it stopped.* I felt bad, but at least I didn't force her to go on it. Not my policy. For the next two years, she and I both knew her boundaries of what she was afraid to go on and what she was not.**
Then this year's breakthrough happened. She bravely told me that this year she was ready for the "big kid" rides. When I watched her on the kid's coaster I could see fear in her eyes, but it was quickly taken over by the look of a child who had conquered her fears, followed finally by exuberant excitement. My kids proceeded to wear me out the rest of the day, going on anything and everything that their respective heights allowed.
I was even invited to go on the kiddie coaster where I watched my 6yo with her hands in the air in front of us and got to put my arm proudly around my 4yo who smiled one of those biggest and beamiest kinds of grins in my direction.
What a proud moment for a dad. She conquered her own fears on her own terms. Now she got to ride the wave.
* Obviously I got my photos and video of this while it was transpiring; that's my job.
** Yes, pretty much only merry-go-rounds with me holding on to her shirt.
The Phantom Cry
A DVS Medically Unfounded Yet Oddly Acurate Parental Condition: Phantom Crying.
Finally (and somewhat miraculously) you've gotten your child to take a nap. Does that mean break time? Heck no, parent, it means catch-up time.
Before you even start, though, a familiar squeal emanates from across the house. #&*@. Baby's crying. So you trudge on over, peek in the door, and there laying in the crib… a sleeping and perfectly peaceful baby. Hmm… you shrug it off and head over the vacuum cleaner.
Not two seconds after turning it on, though… "wwWWWAAAAAAHHH." And what happens the moment you click off the VC? The baby stops as well. It then happens twice more. You weave your way through your unfinished house-ly tasks and peek in the kid's room only to find exactly what you found before. A completely undisturbed and sleeping child. Huh?
The possibilities:
1.) Background noises are being mistaken for baby cries.
2.) The kid is crying at inopportune times.
3.) The kid is crying at inopportune time. Just to mess with your head.
4.) Your house is haunted by a creepy neglected ghost-baby.
5.) You're going off the deep end.
Common sense should prevail and the explanation should simply be (1) or (2). However, raising children tends to make you just a little rocky in the whole "sanity" department.
I'm going with a little bit of (3) and a little bit of (5). No matter what, "Phantom Crying" is just a tiny example of what the lethal combination of sleep deprivation and dealing with tiny humans on a daily basis can do to your brain. I could go on, but I think there's a baby crying.
Oh, wait, they're both at school. Must be (4).
[insert maniacal laugh track here]
Let Them Be Bored
Parental Annoyance #87843, typically heard 3.5 seconds after getting into the car:
"Daddy, I'm bored."
Typical response:
"Look out the window, then."
Child's answer to said solution:
"Daddy, I'm bored."
The typical modern parent understands that the child in this situation is only trying to get one thing: that parent's smartphone for the ride home. I used to cave and give up the phone, rather than put up with hearing the "bored" line four thousand more times before getting home. Now, though, I take a more hard line approach. I let the kid stay bored.
In other words, a "new" parental sensibility has taken over now that the kids are old enough to fend for themselves a bit. It can be summed up as the feeling that I also was a child once, I was often bored while being one, and I got through it without constantly having a screen of distractions shoved in my face.
Sometimes the boredom was alleviated with made-up games, and other times with simple objects or toys. Learning to read made it easier to avoid, but sometimes boredom was never alleviated at all. Bored kids back then had two choices: start doing something or stay bored.*
A "smart phone" has plenty of positive things and educational tools that parents and kids can utilize to pass the time. Too bad kids don't gravitate to those, eh? Let's not forget that a kid's greatest learning tool is that kid's own brain. Make him use it for himself, even if that means he'll be telling you "he's got nothing to do" unless there's a tablet PC on his lap. Don't fall for that. Kids have built-in mechanisms in their brain, specifically designed to conquer boredom.
Those mechanisms are more commonly referred to as "imaginations."
* Okay, sometimes we still had television.
Inappropriate Music that My Kids Like
by: John G. Simon
We listen to a very wide variety of music in this household. We have the good 'oldies' like 90's skate punk and 00's indie rock that we listen to nostalgically. Our kids hear the sounds of Jazz singers from days past and bluegrass pickers from the local radio. We really do listen to just about everything, even a little country and rap. It's hard to decide what to not let the kids hear, but recently there have been a couple of songs from the radio that have gotten stuck in the heads of our innocent-eared kids. These songs are quite inappropriate and we try to avoid them if we can.
Here are the recent winner's of songs we avoid but the kids decided are their favorites. Remember, these kids of ours are 3 and 5 yr olds.
#1: Flo Rida – "Whistle"
Now I know what you're thinking, how could I even let the kids hear this song? Well, I honestly never really listened to the lyrics. The infectious whistle clouded my hearing. By the time I realized what the words were actually saying the kids had already decided they liked the song. They think it's a funny song about a baby who can whistle. I mean, a whistling baby does sound pretty entertaining. Well, we decided they can't listen to it any longer and they are disappointed and confused. But I am not going to have my kid singing that song in public.
#2: Bruno Mars: "Locked Out Of Heaven
This song has a bit of a different story. It's not exactly banned, but we have to do a bit of volume "dj parent" editing when listening to it. Specifically the S-E-X word. Other than that, the song is fairly adult coded so as to not be repeatable or understandable by the kids. But still, it's not really appropriate AT ALL. So what's the appeal of the song for them? It's the part where Mr. Mars goes… Ah Ah Ah, Ah, Ah Ah Ah, OO! Especially the OO part. This makes the kids laugh. So we allow it to a certain extent. Why? I don't know. Maybe it's just weak parenting but it's fun to see the kids laugh.
#3: Taylor Swift: "Never Getting Back Together"
So apparently my 3yr. old daughter is a Taylor Swift fan. This song more scares me about the future than anything else. I mean, it's so girl teen angsty in the worst ways possible. I don't want my daughter to relate to on and off again relationship antics like Ms. Swift. Like EVER! This one isn't inappropriate enough to volume edit or keep off, but it still makes me uneasy.
#4: Ke$ha: Die Young
So I have mixed feelings about this song. The first time the kids realized the lyrics, they had so many questions. Like, what does dying young mean? I mean come on, that's not exactly the discussion I wanted to have on a pleasant Tuesday morning. So we did our best and got them comfortable with the fact that mostly only old people die. But they understand that sometimes bad things happen. We reminded them about Heaven and angels and such. But now they think it would be awesome to die young so they can live with angels. But they'd miss mommy and daddy since it's a one way trip. So they decided they'll stay here. Whew! The draw for them to the song is the catchy dance beat. But life and death discussions with small children is draining and tricky as a parent, so this song is 'Avoided' but not banned.
#5: Cursive: Sink to the Beat
Ok, so this song is not banned or necessarily inappropriate. But I find it odd for this to be my 3yr old daughter's favorite song. Maybe she's rebelling against the other music we allow her to listen to. She calls it' the 'yelling song' and we have to listen to it over and over and over. I mean, I like the song, but a child's persistent listening can make a parent crazy even when it's "your music". It is impressive the words she does pick up in it though.
So what's the moral of the story here? Maybe that modern culture and its music will corrupt your kids? Hmmm. Maybe.
I think it does bring up for me the idea of what is age appropriate or not. Some of the things in these songs we can talk about to the kids. Like death and relationships. So these cultural issues are kind of things that help to raise strong kids who know about various interpersonal situations. As for the other, actually inappropriate, stuff in the other songs, we won't have to worry about that for a good long time. Like at least 20 years right?
Enjoy the tunes! They may not be safe for your kids ears, but they'll probably hear them anyway.
What have you been listening to that might not be kid friendly? Or am I the only terrible parent?
Santa Is Not A Weapon
Warning: this Christmas there is a character nearby who is watching your kids. He sees them when they're sleeping…
…and he flies off when they're awake? To the North Pole? An Elf? Who spend time on shelves? What the hell?
Nah, forget that. I'm talking about the big guy. The head honcho. Numero uno Santa de Claus.
Just take a moment this year to remember the whole point of Santa, which is to make your kids act like perfect angels for two months out of the year. Crap, that's not it.
The point of Santa is to deliver all the hottest toys to your spoiled children.*
Nah, wrong again. Honestly, Santa has much better things to do than make sure your kids are being good. It's your job, parent, to teach them how to behave themselves rather than to threaten them with less toys underneath the tree on Christmas Day. Seriously, are you going to take the toys back to the store the day after Christmas?** Of course you're not going to. Santa Claus, in truth, delivers tons of presents to perfectly bad children every year on Christmas.
So the next time you decide when your child is misbehaving that the best action is to threaten that Santa will not deliver their toys: don't. Cripes, you're already lying to them that Santa exists in the first place. Try a different method this year. Go with the Elf on the Shelf to do the same thing.
Kidding. Do the right thing and go get a book on how to be a better, and more patient, parent. Ask for one for Christmas. It's better than lying to your children. Am I right?
* Just imagine the implications of having to redo all of the factories up there in the North Pole every year. Mind boggling.
** Standing in those lines is somewhere I guarantee I'll never be. Who does that and why???

The Incomparable Nina Simone
By: Legacy.com Staff
2 years ago
Born Feb. 21, 1933, 80 years ago today, Nina Simone became a musical legend with her great talent and wide range. Today we remember how very much she was capable of. (Getty Images / Redferns / David Redfern)
Nina Simone had a voice like no other. Her rich, low tenor was rare among women – we usually expect high and light tones from female singers – but Simone made her low range soar. And she was more than a singer: she was also a classically-trained pianist, using both skills in her marvelous recordings.
The superstar of jazz and blues, gospel and folk died April 21, 2003. In tribute to Simone's fantastic range as a performer, we're showcasing the wide variety of music she played.
Jazzy rock – a great piano-driven version of "Ain't Got No… I've Got Life" from the musical Hair.
Soulful ballad – "I Loves You Porgy" from Porgy and Bess was one of Simone's standards.
Blues – The lyrics to "Backlash Blues" were written by poet Langston Hughes, and they spoke to Simone's passion for the Civil Rights Movement.
Classic jazz – Another of Simone's standards was the perky love song "My Baby Just Cares for Me."

Video: Roy-Hart Coach Fired Following Bullying Incident
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Veteran Royalton-Hartland girls basketball coach Don Baker has been fired for not reporting a bullying incident, according to the school district superintendent.
The January 18th incident reportedly happened in the girls locker room during an away game at Barker Central involving some members of the team and a former player.
The incident was reported to coach Baker by a parent the night it happened, but he did not report it to his superiors in a timely fashion as required by law, according to Superintendent Kevin MacDonald.
MacDonald said Baker, a long time coach, has done a wonderful job, but policies and laws regarding these types of incidents have changed and the district has to make sure they are taking them seriously.
School officials met with parents Monday and with team members on Tuesday. MacDonald stressed that besides talking about the results of the investigation, the students were walked through the reasons for the disciplinary action.
"Our hope is that this isn't just a penalty and you move on," said MacDonald., but there's going to be an educational piece to it. He said next week school officials will work with the team on further training to give them the tools on how to handle and prevent incidents like this in the future.
Below is a text of the statement released by the district:
On January 18, 2013 there was an incident that occurred while the Royalton-Hartland girl's basketball team was playing at the Barker Central School District. The incident involved some members of the team and a former player. The incident started in the hallway outside of the girl's locker room and then continued inside the locker room. Further details of the incident will not be released due to various privacy laws.
The district has conducted an investigation surrounding the facts of the incident. All of the student's on the team were interviewed as well as other school personnel. In addition, the Superintendent of Schools, and other school officials have met with the parents and players to share with them the results of the District's investigation and to review applicable District policies and the District Code of Conduct. Disciplinary measures have been taken, however due to Family Educational Rights Privacy Act, the district will not comment on what measures have been taken. It has been determined that the coach is suspended from his basketball coaching duties for the remainder of the girls' basketball season. The district will also provide further training to the team in hopes of providing additional tools to the students so as to avoid any similar incidents in the future.
Royalton-Hartland Central Schools take these incidents seriously, especially in light of recent similar such incidents and the newly enacted Dignity for All Students Act. This has been a very sensitive and emotional time for the team and the district. The district is appreciative of the cooperation it received during the course of the investigation, and it is our hope that we can put this situation behind us and the team is able to finish out its season.
