|Jobless Rate Jumps in November
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 03 January 2013 12:01
After falling for much of 2012, North Carolina's unemployment rate crept back up in November, up .2 of a percent statewide to 9%, with 81 of the state's 100 counties seeing increases. In the High Country, one of the 13 counties with a decrease was Ashe, dropping over a percent—1.3%
—landing at 10% for November. That was contrasted with Watauga's .6 of a percent increase to 7.9% and Avery's dramatic 1.4% increase to 10.9%. Most of the report is statistical, not analytical, but it does show that the business services sector lost the most jobs between October and November, followed by construction, textiles, then eating/drinking establishments.

Fischer Audio Consonance White Earphones, Headphones for New Music Re-Vitalized
"Introduction: Sometimes in life, things kinda catch you by surprise when you least expect it and this is exactly what I found with the Fischer Audio Consonance Earphone. When I purchased my KEF M200s, I thought this would be for life; these were most accurate sounding IEMs I had heard to date. However, there was a downside like with most things in life and that was the..." --mcook1970
Fischer Audio Consonance V2
"The Consonance V2 is a pair of earphones manufactured by Russia-based Fischer Audio which forms part of their Fundamentals lineup. With its in-line microphone and remote control unit and low impedance, it appears to be aimed squarely at smartphone users. As you can tell from the name, the V2 is their latest revision of the well received Conosnance. However, as I have no experience with its..." --fonzler
Fischer Audio DBA-02
" Introduction A warning before we even get to the review. This is kinda lengthy. I'm not sure how it got so long since it is just one product but yeah it is a bit long. Fischer Audio has slowly gained popularity over the last year or so and there was quite a buzz on them but nothing interested me enough to go out and purchase them. That changed when LFF posted a review on the DBA 02 and..." --rawrster
Fischer Audio DBA-02 Mk II
" The DBA-02 Mk IIs are getting a lot of the same fame and respect their initial version siblings got. While initial comparisons suggest the Mk IIs are not as distinctive as the originals in shining with as fearless a midrange and treble, the major sonic character seems to have carried. (I never heard the originals but have gathered this from others' opinions.) And..." --ScuderiaHeadFi

Fischer Audio Silver Bullets
"First of all, my favourite genres are Progressive Roch/Metal and Classic, that's important to note for this review, because these IEMs are very specific. If you want a good all round package sound-wise and overall, look elswhere; the Fischer Audio Silver Bullets are uncompromisingly about the sound of drums and electric guitars! Their major weakness lies in their thin and flimsy cable. It's..." --AlfredKeppler
Fischer Audio Eterna
" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality. After reading Jokers 131 IEM thread, I decided to get these. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. I as looking for a IEM that I would use for 1-2 hours at a time on my way to school, and these are..." --2enty3
Fischer Audio TBA-04 IEM
"When my 2 year old DBA02 mkii's lost left channel signal strength, I needed a replacement, pronto. I took note of some good sounding < IEMs from |joker|'s list and headed off to the nearest headphone store - to tide me over till I went custom, so the idea went. (I totally agree with |joker|'s 9.2 assessment of SQ on the DBA 02 mkii, fyi) As it turned out, they..." --exsomnis

What is kinda odd is that this happened in September, 5 months ago. Ain't that just a tad behind the curve?
sounds like stupidity all across the board to me and the first officer needs to go thru retraining
I don't remember the AF447 details but seem to recall the Captain took some time after the incident started to return to the flight deck. Does anyone know if A330 cockpit doors can be unlocked from either of the seats or is the latch release actually attached to the door, meanig someone would have to leave their seat to open it ? This could be dangerous if both pilots fighting the controls are junior and the senior/experience is locked outside. Anyway seniority and experience don't mean perfection, I think the Dutchman who wiped out Clipper 1736 at GCXO was either KLM's Chief Pilot or IC of Pilot Training and had just recertified the FO. If I remember correctly because of the weather, diversion and traffic congestion he was runnnng close to duty hour limits for the return to EHAM.
I don't get it why can they open the cockpit door when on the ground and not in the air?
During flight the cockpit door has to be "unlocked" by someone inside the flightdeck. If that person doesn't respond there is an alternative method to unlock the door from the cabin, which the crew in this situation obviously used.
ok thanks for the explanation I was really wondering :)
You're welcome! The real issues start when there's two of them in there and they don't respond.... LOL!!
Or two of them outside and the door closes...
Oh man......one day........
Happened to a friend of mine, brain fart with both of them out of an MD80 cockpit, no door closure though...
U fly the BAC???
Alas not! Only BAC's left flying are with Northrop in the US as far as I know?
there is one in KMWL all the time
Viva la Auto Pilot - Hail the Fly-by-wire technology ! ha ha ha ;-) ;-p
No response from the intercom? Lucky ATC wasn't trying to get ahold of him. ATC: "Transavia 737, traffic alert! Climb immediately" FO: "zzzzz ahh zzzzz ahhzzzzz"
the pilot does not sleep meditate
not wrong pilot change your mind

The Division of Wildlife Resources has made the 2003 fishing and hunting licenses available just in time for the holiday season.
The sale of fishing, small game and combination licenses, two-pole and setline permits, and cougar pursuit permits, bagan Dec. 4 from DWR offices.
The wildlife licenses are also available via the Internet at the DWR's website which is located at www.wildlife.utah.gov.
Licenses purchased online are mailed directly to the person the license was purchased for and may take up to 10 days to arrive in the mail.
New licenses also may be purchased from hunting and fishing license agents statewide. All of the agents in the state should receive their licenses by Dec. 13 and many agents will have their licenses before then.
All of the licenses that became available Dec. 2 may be purchased from license agents except setline and cougar pursuit permits, which must be purchased from DWR offices or the DWR's web site.
The 2003 wildlife heritage certificates, which provides funding for wildlife viewing and other nonconsumptive wildlife activities, are available at the six division offices and the DWR's web site. These certificates are not available from license agents.
In addition to providing that special hunter, angler or wildlife-watcher the perfect gift, those who buy a license can also receive the satisfaction of knowing they're providing funding to manage Utah's wildlife.
"Purchasing a license for someone is easy," stated Suzette Fowlks, information specialist with the DWR. "If purchasing a permit from a divison office or the web site, all that is required is the licensed person's personal information including, name, height, weight, eye color, hair color, date of birth, address and phone number."
Those who purchase a small game or combination license from a license agent or the website also must supply verification such as a blue card, that the person they're purchasing the license for has completed a DWR-approved hunter education course.
The course is required for everyone born after Dec. 31, 1965 who wishes to hunt in Utah.
"License agents are not able to verify completion of a hunter education course via computer, the way we can at a division office," Fowlks explained.
Fowlks said it's also helpful to provide the licensed person's social security and driver license numbers, but these aren't required.
Buyers are reminded that the combination license does not include a deer or elk permit and does not allow someone to hunt deer or elk. Hunters may apply for 2003 general deer and ML 300 elk permits beginning in January.
With the exception of ML300 permits, all other general elk permits will be available, over-the-counter, in July.
The two-pole permit allows an angler, who must also possess a fishing license, to use two fishing poles while fishing at Lake Powell, Flaming Gorge, Newton, Hyrum, Willard Bay, Pineview, Starvation, Yuba, D.M.A.D, and Gunlock reservoirs as well as Utah Lake, Pelican Lake, Gunnison Bend, the Malad River, Little Bear River below Valley View Highway, and the Bear River, from the Idaho state line downstream, including Cutler Reservoir and the outlet canals.
The setline permit allows an angler, who must also possess a fishing license, to use one setline containing not more than 15 hooks while fishing at Utah Lake, in the Bear River proper downstream from the Idaho state line, including Cutler Reservoir and the outlet canals, the Little Bear River below Valley View Highway, and the Malad River.

With buzz words like "CES," "Android 4.0," "tablet," and "$170," ViewSonic has our attention! The 7-inch device is to be released later in Q1 and will undoubtedly be a great choice for frugal consumers who enjoy the latest technology. The company's vice-president of development, Michael Holstein, says this about their upcoming tablet "ViewSonic is committed to delivering advanced technology designed with the consumer in mind […]"Featuring the latest Android operating system, along with leading apps and services for entertainment content, the ViewPad E70 continues the ViewSonic tradition of bringing feature-rich products to new markets."
The news that this tablet will be rocking the Ice Cream Sandwich version of the Android OS is definitely a highlight in comparison to its other specs. It will have a 1GHz single-core processor, 4GB of storage, an HDMI-out, and a front facing camera. With these less than stellar specs, customers considering this option should invest in some performance enhancing accessories like stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables, earpieces and headphones, speakers and additional MicroSD Memory cards cards. A separate device like a media player or more amped-up smartphone for music and pictures may also be considerations when looking to purchase this tablet.
But, as the ViewPad E70 does have the latest Android OS, it is being touted as device particularly suited for web surfing, e-reading, and gaming. This also brings customers the premium apps and services in a very light and compact tablet. The 1080p HDMI output does help compensate for the low 4GB by giving users the option of streaming multimedia. The low cost of the ViewPad E70 means that customers can invest in great accessories to take advantage of the best features of this device.
There will likely be those potential users who will be concerned with the limited 4GB (and let's be honest, compared to other smartphones and tablets on the market, this is quite low), Luckily, there are removable storage and memory options out there to keep the tablet running as fast and light as intended.

In another down to the wire game, the Carbon High Dinos fell to the Altamont Longhorns 14-6 on Homecoming night.
Altamont, a class 1A team, used a rushing attack that included two touchdowns from senior Kyle Foy which focused on gaining positive amounts of yards on each play. As the game went along, the Longhorns continued to move the ball down the field while controlling the clock and keeping the Dino offense off the field.
Foy's 3-yard run and successful two-point conversion midway through the fourth quarter gave the Longhorns their first lead of the night 14-6.
On their final possession of the game, Altamont's Cassidy Smith intercepted a pass over the middle of the field by Carbon High's Dakota Cisneros to help seal the victory for the Longhorns.
After a scoreless first quarter, the Dinos scored first taking a 6-0 lead when wide receiver Zac Hathaway caught a 30-yard pass from Cisneros that was tipped by an Altamont defender at the 1-yard line which fell into Hathaway's hands while standing in the end zone.
The Dinos had two takeaways in the first quarter, including a fumble recovery by Lane Neese on the second play of the game and an interception by Hathaway later in the quarter. The Dinos were unable to convert on either turnover as they failed to convert on a fourth down from inside the Altamont 5-yard line.
After another interception by Hathaway with two minutes left in the first half, the Dinos again failed to convert the turnover into points as they drove down inside the Altamont 10-yard line only to see the drive end when a Cisneros pass was intercepted by the Altamont defense in the end zone.
Foy scored his first of two touchdowns for the Longhorns late in the third quarter on a 2-yard run. The ensuing extra point was no good and the game was tied at 6-6.
The Dinos turned the ball over on downs with 5:12 left in the game, giving the Longhorns the ball in Dino territory. The Longhorns (1-4, Class 1A) converted on a fourth-and-long taking more time off the clock and forcing the Dinos to use their three timeouts to stop the clock.
Carbon High got the ball back with 2:23 left to go and needed fourth down catch by wide receiver Garrett Blanc to keep the drive alive. Two plays later, Altamont picked off a Cisneros pass ending the Dinos chance for a comeback.
The Dinos also dealt with a rash of injuries during the game which saw players including Kyle Barrett, Jordan Blanc and Neese leave the game with various injuries. Blanc, who left the game with an apparent knee injury in the third quarter, later returned for the Dinos.
After going 1-4 through their non-region schedule, Carbon High will begin Region 12 play on the road against Spanish Fork next Friday night at 7 p.m.
See Tuesday's Sun Advocate for photos and more from the game.

Submission Oneiric Ocelot (Ubuntu 11.10) Alpha 3 Review->
sfcrazy writes: No one reviews an alpha, but we do. The aim of this review is not to 'test' the upcoming version of Ubuntu, but to see what's new and what's improved. One of the most notable features are the changes made to the notification bar or the Indicator menu. It now shows available updates and printers connected to the PC along with bluetooth and start-up applications. Ubuntu 11.10 is using the latest verion of Gnome. It is running on current unstable version (3.1.4) and is on its way to GNOME 3.2. So, you get all the goodies of Gnome 3 with familiar and more stable Unity Shell instead of Gnome 3 shell.

Zoarob uses the bees to sting those who have come to him for help -- and amid the territory's deepening isolation, his clinic has been transformed into a hive of activity. Most claims of apitherapy -- the medical use of bee venom -- are anecdotal and have not been proved to the satisfaction of scientists, although believers say it helps relieve pain from multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis and certain other ailments.

I like the Esbit Titanium Folding Stove as it is clever design and pretty easy to use. As I have designed Esbit stoves before and thought that I would see if I could tweak the design and come up with a more efficient design. Well, I think that I have done this and I also think that this is a great DIY project. The idea is to add a ring to focus the airflow into and out of the Esbit cube (see the picture below):By doing so, I believe that this has increased the efficiency of the stove. Compared to a control test, I was able to heat up 4 cups of water 15 F hotter when using the ring (n=1). As I said earlier, I think that this is a great DIY project and who share this initial discovery with you. This design is far from optimized and there may be a lot more gains to be made by further tweaking of the concept. Best regards – JonIf you wish, I made a video of the idea and test:http://youtu.be/TtECThifq70
Hmmm. Nice idea.What about making the ring taller to act as your windscreen as well? You could also cut notches in the bottom so it slips over the arms and sits lower to the ground, then you could play with how much air to give it to get the best efficiency.It also might be worth playing with a larger diameter, or even an inverted cone...
Looks like taking the bottom off of a cat food can will get the job done? I'm going to try this when I get home to see what this does for my kit.Thanks for sharing Jon!
Great idea, thanks for sharing.
What was the difference in the residue deposited on the posts after each burn? That would tell you something about efficiency as well.Plus, did I understand the video correctly. Was the tab you used with the focusing ring broken? If so, then the added surface area for combustion could potentially explain the higher temperature you got with the experimental case versus the control.
Michael, I don't think that the cracked Esbit would make a difference. If I broke up the Esbit into four pieces to increase the area I would increase the burn rate but have little effect on efficiency. Besides the overall time to flame out was close betwen the to test. Jon
Excellent stuff and Thanks! I will play with your great thoughts soon.
I am just guessing here, but I would not be surprised if the flame out time is not the best measure here, as it assume the same energy output pathway over time. But regardless, the easy way to answer this is just do some more trials to see if the results are repeatable. Preferably with a more identical experimental set up (i.e., unbroken tab)
Michael, I agree more testing should be done. Here is the way that I looked it: if the focussing ring increased the final water temperature by 15 F for 4 cups, then when boiling 2 cups, it should be ~30F. Even with some experimental error, getting Esbit to output a 30 F change is in the direction of goodness. Since I am not a die hard Esbit user AND there a lot of them on this forum, I thought it would be a good DIY project. The Esbit Ti folding stove has some physical limitations that might limit optimization (particularly the overall height). So, I posted this finding as a starting point for others to tweak and optimize. At the end of the day, this group might come up with a pretty slick and efficient system. Jon

exactly. I am a user of the esbit wing stove (not surprisingly given my interest). and in theory i should shut up and do the testing myself. right after I figure out how to get away from this computer and do some real hikes. if someone else beats me to it, though, I won't complain.
Here is a simple idea at 0.1 Gram a Starbucks Double Shot can cut to fit. It is like the Gram Cracker. I might punch some holes in the top of Starbucks can top to see if the flames spread better.
Edited by Creachen on 03/28/2013 13:40:43 MDT.
my thinking exactly, in terms of materials (cheap Al can). eager to see your results.
I think that you will find that the aluminum will get too hot and anneal to a very soft state. It would probably be better to get some titanium foil and make the shape. Send me a PM and I can probably send you a scrap piece or two that would be the right size. Jon
Jon, I have a hole punch and was thinking of putting maybe 4-5 holes around the top to see if this spreads the flames a little better underneath the pot. The aluminum can is recyclable and I a can use a different Double-Shot can on every trip. But Ti does last longer and I would like to try it out if you have some to spare. I will PM you.Thanks,Jay Wilkerson
I will test the theory this weekend. Ti Wing/Kinda Gram Cracker
Starbucks Double Shot can at 0.1 gram- Almost a Gram Cracker
I started this thread a week or so ago. http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=74560The cat can idea I had at that time didn't work out at all. I read this thread and figured that I'd give it one more try. I cut a 1/4" off the bottom and it fit perfectly on the stove. If you follow the link, you'll see that the can is well ventilated. I first tried it with a .25oz Coghlan tablet. There was no difference in burn times or the temperature obtained. I then tried it with the .5oz Esbit tablet. Once again, no notable performance difference. I have some aluminum from a craft store that I use for my windscreens. I'm going to play around with it and try to figure this one out. I'm sure using reflective material will probably help but I suspect that ventilation plays a key role in this project as well. The cat food can will be officially retired to the garbage can.
Hey Jon, You were correct about the aluminum. It started to catch fire then it got bent out of shape and wrinkled up quickly! It seems like Titanium is the only answer. I will try that next. Thanks
Start with the 6 ounce steel can and dial in the design. Then switch over to titanium or stainless steel. The titanium foil that I sent you should arrive early in the week. Jon
Thanks Jon, I will look for a steel can to cut to shape.Jay

THE SHIFTS OF HIS LIFEMeet Todd Aronovitch, my favorite former colleague
Over the weekend , I posted the Point Blank Power 25 – a list of the most influential people in Islanders Country. It got lost a bit after the curious leaking of Satan news. More important than all that, this post is about my favorite former colleague…CB
Phil Forgash, the vocational coordinator of the Rosemary Kennedy BOCES School, figured it couldn't hurt to make the call. Worst-case, the Islanders would say no.
The BOCES program prepares handicapped children in Nassau County for life after high school. The school's directors do everything in their power to find jobs for their students, which is why Forgash called the Islanders.
"When our students are approaching graduation," he told me and a close colleague in that phone call 14 years ago, "we ask them: 'if you had your choice, where would you like to work'? Some of them say McDonald's or Blockbuster or in a nice office somewhere. Applebee's is a popular one. Last week one of our students gave us quite a challenge. He said he wanted to work for the New York Islanders. He asked, so I'm keeping my pledge to all of our students by placing this call."
Todd Aronovitch, Rosemary Kennedy BOCES School Class of 1995, has been an employee of the Islanders ever since. For at least one day a week, Todd comes to the office and takes care of business. If you have ever received mail from the Islanders, chances are Todd helped make it happen.
Affected by mental retardation and cerebral palsy, the Winnipeg-born Todd is old enough to remember when Dale Hawerchuk and the Jets were a big part of the NHL. When he was 12 his family – mom, dad, older brother and older sister – moved to Long Island so Todd could receive better services. Since hockey was such a big part of his life, and since Todd is not shy about anything, he requested the career placement at the Islanders.
When we worked together all those years, sometimes I would affectionately call Todd "I.P." for reasons he never knew and was too polite to ask. I.P. stood for Instant Perspective. With Todd around – smiling, laughing, working hard despite the obstacles – really, who were any of us to ever complain?
From time to time, Todd's grace would extend beyond the office to the rink. There was the day in the late '90s when the Islanders were going through another endless losing streak. Delivering the newspaper clips to the coaching staff one morning, Todd told them, "Our team needs to wake up and smell the coffee."
Two hours later, the team meeting in the Islanders locker room was kicked off with Todd telling the boys to wake up and smell the coffee. Overwhelmed by the perspective and charged up to win one for Todd, the next day the Islanders practically flew on to the Coliseum ice and…okay, they only tied Hartford. It was a start. They won the game after that.
Todd Aronovitch may not make miracles, but to everyone he's ever met, he is one.
Comments. Details on the Lighthouse march and rally below. Working on one more post today.


text: To the casual observer, our newest collaboration beer may be perceived as an attempt to make a statement about gender equality in the brewing industry. How could someone not think that? After all, we're no strangers to making statements through the ale medium and, c'mon, we went and tapped two of the country's best female brewers—Tonya Cornett from Bend, Oregon's 10 Barrel Brewing Company; and Megan O'Leary Parisi, the fermentation mastermind behind Washington, DC's highly anticipated Bluejacket. We get it, but honestly, the only things we were looking to secure when getting these two into our brewhouse were beer smarts, creativity and enthusiasm, and these two brought all three in sudsy spades! Need proof? Well, we've got it, and it goes by the name 10 Barrel/Bluejacket/Stone Suede Imperial Porter.

Nose Ring Treble
This innovative rig will allow any angler to present live bait in a more natural way and keep the bait alive until it's taken. This rig consists of a small ring that is inserted through the nasal cavity of baitfish. The ring has a piece of plastic tubing attached to it that the leader runs through with the hook tied at the end. With the nose ring in place, the hook can be placed near the back of the bait in non-vital area that won't impede its swimming action or injure it. Once in place, a peg is placed in the plastic tube to hold the line in place with a little slack between the hook and the tubing. Too often, baitfish when rigged in the back or the head with a single hook, end up fighting the hook too much or end up being killed too soon by a large hook in a vital area. This rig keeps the bait alive and swimming naturally for the perfect presentation.

Much like the idea that exceptional personal style is all about the high-low mix, we try to keep WhoWhatWear.com's daily content equally diverse. So while we love discussing the fancy frocks and gorgeous jewels that are integral to awards show dressing, obviously we must temper that with some more down-to-earth options as well. Accordingly, today we're delighted to present our monthly installment of WWW: Tips, featuring a range of transitional and trend-driven ensembles from fashionable celebs and industry tastemakers alike. You'll find an assortment of inspiring outfits to choose from, including everything from Emma Robert's subtle lingerie look to Jessica Joffe's savvy blend of spring's standout neutrals. We hope you enjoy!
Tip # 1: Pair a sheer shirt with a bright bra.
The hottest hues for spring are indubitably pastels and neutral khaki colors, but that doesn't mean you can't look edgyÂ--oh no! If you want to add some spice to these sweeter shades, simply remember how Emma Roberts brought a little pizazz to her outfit at a Teen Vogue and Louis Vuitton party last month. The newly blonde actress freshened up her black Louis Vuitton Soft Pants ($1950, 866.VUITTON) and Cancan Ankle Strap Pumps ($1270, 866.VUITTON) by pairing them with a nude Bra Knit Top ($1275, 866.VUITTON). The button-down comes with a bright bra underneath, which adds some pop to sheer shirt. Emulate Roberts' well-executed ensemble by combining a semi-translucent top with your favorite neon underpinnings. For the former, we suggest checking out ASOS' Sheer Seam Shirt ($31), which is available in nude or black, Preen's investment-worthy Space Blouse ($813), or Mabel's Grace Lace Blouse ($288) in nude. As for the lingerie aspect of this look, you can't go wrong with Topshop's Longline Paisley Lace Bralet ($40) in pink, Free People's Cheeky Lace Bra ($38) in hot pink or violet, or (our favorite) Deborah Marquit's Lace Underwire Bra ($185) in fluorescent pink or fluorescent limeÂ--all are options you'll want to show off!
Tip # 2: Slip into a patterned blazer now.
When creating a post-winter transitional outfit, we always look for cold-weather classics with a bit of a twist. We spotted a fresh variation of this trick on Margherita Missoni recently, when she arrived at the Milan premiere of Valentino: The Last Emperor wearing a signature wave knit jacket from Missoni's F/W 09 collection, similar to the Raschel Knit Coat ($3162). The pattern is an unexpected update to this wardrobe essential and adds a lovely layer of texture and interest to her outfit. While we've yet to find the perfect replacement for a Missoni knit, we can tell you that there are a few fun options out there, such as ASOS' Stripe Ponti Long Line Blazer ($102). Additionally we found two floral iterationsÂ--Topshop's Floral Jersey Blazer ($110) and Free People's Floral Long Seamed Blazer ($128)Â--that are sure to take you into spring stylishly.
Tip # 3: Try out the khaki craze with a dress.
In just a few short months, we predict that you'll swap your boyfriend jeans for a baggy and cuffed pair of chinos and will suddenly want to wear a cotton field jacket instead of a little leather version. That said, we know that the season's "khaki craze" is still percolating, which is why now is the perfect time to start wearing the trend. Even better: take a page from stylist and L'Uomo Vogue editor Giovanna Battaglia's stylish notebook and go for a military-inspired khaki dress. The fearless fashion insider attended the debut of "The Martus Maw"Â--an exhibition of French artist Nicolas Pol's work, presented by Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld and RVCAÂ--wearing Alexander Wang's Safari Double Breasted Dress with Wrap Belt ($765) with loads of accessories. While we love the button-detailed mini from Wang's Resort 10 collection, if you're looking for a less expensive and more feminine version, definitely check out BCBG's Stretch Poplin Shirt Dress with Ruffled Skirt ($268) too.
Tip # 4: Go for a shorts suit this spring.
Generally speaking, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the WhoWhatWear.com office wearing a suit of any kind. But that just might change, dear readers, thanks to a little inspiration from model Katharina Friedrich. Snapped at the Louis Vuitton Cruise 10 launch at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York, the leggy stunner caught our attention with her ensemble of a Short Tweed Blazer ($3380, 866.VUITTON), Tweed Short Jumper ($3169, 866.VUITTON), and Shimmer Ankle Boots ($950, 866.VUITTON). We love the look of shorts instead of a skirt or trousers and were equally enamored with Friedrich's footwear choiceÂ--it just makes the whole head-to-toe look much more youthful. We'll try to recreate her jaunty ensemble this spring by pairing Marc by Marc Jacobs' Rosemary Jacquard Jacket ($398) and Rosemary Jacquard Shorts ($178) with our favorite peep-toe booties, and so should you! Additionally, you can check out Elizabeth and James' Resort Blazer ($435) and the brand's Drapey Silk Shorts ($265); we think the combo adds up to a white hot look that's perfect for the warm weather to come.
Tip # 5: Pick up a long, lean maxi skirt.
As we discussed in a Trend Report last month, sometimes a girl's got to ditch her minis and reach for something with major length instead. The beautiful model-turned-designer Ben Grimes reminded us of this maxim recently, when she turned up at the British Fashion Awards in London wearing a silvery tank tucked into a ground-grazing skirt. Chic? And how! Grimes' sleek styling choices are certainly easy to recreate, and we highly suggest doing just that. Simply pick up a similar top, like Helmut Lang's Metallic Racer Back Tank ($160) or Victoria Beckham Denim's Metallic Racer-back Tank ($195), and slip it into a long, lean skirt. Try ASOS' Knitted Maxi Skirt ($43) for an inexpensive thrill, though we also quite like Rachel Pally's Fortuna Long Skirt ($194) and Elizabeth and James' Button Back Skirt ($395) as well.
Tip # 6: Mix up the seasonÂ's best neutrals.
Our last looking-ahead tip comes courtesy of the lovely Jessica Joffe and the chic neutral outfit she wore to a Chloe and Vogue preview of the former's S/S 10 collection at the Chloe boutique in New York. Joffe deftly mixed a pair of pleat-front pants in a wonderful wheat hue with a peachy silk blouse and a white blazer, resulting in a light and lovely look. While these items are not available yet, we sleuthed out the perfect pieces to let you achieve her style right now. Try a bronze tank like Joie's Loreli Racer Back Tank ($288) or Alloy's Cameron Racerback Tank ($20) under a simple white blazer, such as Twenty8Twelve's Cotton Longline Blazer ($416). Then you simply need to track down the right trousers! If you're a bit more directional, try Alexander Wang's Baggy Pants ($450), or if you're looking for a more classic silhouette, check out Vince's Cropped Pants ($225) or James Perse's Flat Front Chinos ($165). Not sure you're ready to commit? Don't miss Aqua's Khaki Pants ($68)Â--they're a steal of a deal! Whatever you pick, these pants are sure to be a spring essential, so definitely spend some time searching for your perfect pair.

POTSDAM - Wind, solar and other forms of renewable energy are volatile and uncertain, a problem Clarkson University Assistant Professor Lei Wu is looking to solve.
The National Science Foundation has given Wu a $400,000 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award for Smart Grid research. Wu is embarking on a five-year project that will provide a blueprint as the United States updates its electrical grid in the 21st century.
He will develop mathematical models and algorithms in order to find favorable sites for renewable energy facilities that will enhance the United States Smart Grid. The CAREER grant project will launch this Sept. 1 and continue through August 2018.
The research will give power system operators and power companies more information to make better decisions, Wu said. The research will also hopefully reduce the unpredictability and variability sometimes associated with renewable energy projects, thus making them more feasible and widespread.
We need some more rigorous research, Wu said. Were trying to respond to some of the targets set by the government.
The grant will fund two Ph.D students who will work with Wu on the project. Those students may travel to local high schools over the course of the grant to teach power systems concepts to students.
Wu, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, has more than 10 years of experience in energy and power systems research. He has served as a consultant with the New York Independent System Operators organization to review their business management system and Energy Management System for power market operation in New York State. He will collaborate with NYISO and the New York Smart Grid Consortium on the research.
In 2012, Wu received a Smart Planet Award from IBM to develop coursework based on his research of the future power grid to educate the next generation of industry leaders to use the technology.

"This is a bibliography of recent work in the philosophy of mind, philosophy of cognitive science, philosophy of artificial intelligence, and on consciousness in the sciences. It consists of 4934 entries, and is divided into six parts (Consciousness and Qualia; Mental Content; Psychophysical Relations; Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence; Miscellaneous Topics; Consciousness in the Sciences), each of which is further divided by topic and subtopic. Many of the entries are annotated with a brief summary. Most areas of mainstream contemporary philosophy of mind are covered, but very active tangential areas, such as belief semantics and action theory, have been largely ignored. The bibliography consists mostly of papers and books from the last 35 years, with density of coverage increasing with proximity to the present."

Giffords' successor trailing in Arizona House race
PHOENIX — The hand-picked successor to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords
trailed a Republican political novice by a few hundred votes Wednesday in one of
two razor-thin congressional races in Arizona that could drag on for several
days as the final ballots are tallied.
Another close contest was decided Wednesday when Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick was
declared the winner of the sprawling 1st district over former GOP lawmaker
Jonathan Paton.
Rep. Ron Barber, who was wounded at the January 2011 shooting in Tucson that
forced Giffords to resign, said he still believed outstanding ballots could tilt
the race in southern Arizona's 2nd Congressional District back in his favor. But
if they don't, he respects the voters' decision.
"I'm perfectly at ease and at peace with the voters' decision about who they
send to Congress," Barber told The Associated Press. "And if it's not me, then
I wish my opponent, if she's our new member, every success because we have to
get the job done. "
Retired Air Force pilot Martha McSally seemingly came out of nowhere to take
the lead in the race late Tuesday. Barber won the early voting, while McSally
dominated on Election Day.
The first woman to fly in combat and to command a fighter squadron, McSally
captivated audiences looking for leadership in the moderate district that had
twice rejected an ultra-conservative tea party Republican, Jesse Kelly.
McSally's personal narrative, including suing the Defense Department because it
required her to wear a head scarf while based in Saudi Arabia, resonated with
independents and women, although Democrats called her out for her stands on
social issues like abortion and gay marriage.
McSally said she believes voters supported Barber in the June special election
because he was wounded with Giffords and she asked him to fill out her unexpired
term. But Tuesday's race was different.
"I think those factors certainly were important in the last race, whereas this
race was more about who's the right person, in their own right, to represent the
district," McSally said.
Paton said he would not comment on Kirkpatrick's victory until all the
outstanding votes were counted in the race that had been considered a tossup and
featured millions of dollars in ad spending.
"The voters in CD1 have spoken and I just have to tell you I feel humbled and
honored to serve them again and it's time to get to work," Kirkpatrick said.
The district encompasses much of northern and eastern Arizona, rural areas
south of Phoenix and the Navajo Nation.
Kirkpatrick represented the district for one term before being ousted by a
conservative Republican in 2010, Paul Gosar. After redistricting made the
district less conservative, Gosar moved to northwestern Arizona's 4th district
and won election on Tuesday.
The Phoenix area's 9th district was a virtual tie Wednesday between former
Democratic state Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Republican Vernon Parker, a former
mayor of the upscale Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley.
The state earned a ninth seat after the 2010 Census and was filling it for the
first time on Tuesday.
Barber said he's heading back to Washington next week to help address looming
federal issues like the expiring Bush tax cuts, the farm bill and automatic
spending cuts.
"There's plenty to do," he said.
For Barber, the cliffhanger 2nd district race is one that he would not have
imagined just two years ago.
"I've got so much to be grateful for," Barber told the AP. "I really have
got this wonderful family who have supported me over the last two years in
what's been one of the most surreal experiences of my life, you know."

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA9) --- A WUSA 9 viewer has come to the rescue of a single mother of three who is facing eviction after a DC firetruck backed into the food truck she uses to provide her family's income, putting it out of service.
The viewer, who wants her identity kept private, is offering to pay some rent for Nefisa Siraj, the mother who has been unable to pay her bills since the accident in September. Siraj was informed of the gift Thursday night.
"Whoever wants to help me, just tell them for me: Thank you, thank you, thank you. God will help them, too; that like them helping me, God will help them, too. They look out for me. God is going to look out for them," she told WUSA 9 after receiving the news.
A police report indicates Siraj's food truck was parked when it was struck by the DC fire truck. The city has not paid for the damages, and Siraj does not have the money to make necessary repairs.
DC Fire and EMS Chief Kenneth Ellerbe told WUSA 9 he is personally looking into the matter and may have more on the city's response on Friday.

A new looming state budget shortfall of more than $130 million is prompting a hardening of partisan lines at the State House, where lawmakers are trading accusations over what - and whom - to blame. About $122 million of the projected gap falls within the state Department of Health and Human Services, and Republicans are pointing the finger at excessive spending on state Medicaid programs. Democrats say the unforeseen costs are the result of mismanagement at DHHS. A.J. Higgins has more.
Gov. Paul LePage was among the first to learn about the new budget shortfall. But he says he's the last person in Augusta that Maine lawmakers should look to for guidance in trying to craft a solution.
"Let me tell you about my power with the budget," LePage said. "I have put two biennial budgets in, and six supplementals. And I've had to veto most of every one because they change them. So I have no power when it comes to this Legislature. They do what they damn well please."
And at the moment, Democratic and Republican lawmakers are looking for more detailed information from the LePage administration about the cause of the gap, which could reach more than $130 million. Thanks to a slight increase in projected revenues, the actual cost to the budget will be around $119 million.
But that's still a big number for lawmakers to tackle during a short legislative session. And the culprit, says House Republican leader Ken Fredette, is excess spending on services for the poor.
"The problem here is that once someone becomes entitled to a benefit, such as Medicaid, the problem is that you then can't really regulate how much they use it, the trips to the ER, what hospitals charge and what not, and then you sort of have no control," Fredette said. "It's like giving a kid a credit card, and they use it as they wish."
Because so many of the unforeseen costs fall within the Department of Health and Human Services, Fredette and other Republicans say it's a spending problem, and they therefore will not consider any new tax increases to close the deficit. GOP state Sen. James Hamper, of Oxford, says the gap has to be solved responsibly.
"The easiest thing to do in this situation is to cut the reimbursement rate - that which we pay the doctors and the hospitals," Hamper said. "And that's what the federal government does to us, because then you don't actually have to take anybody off the program, because the the only other option is eligibility. We have to be looking at eligibility, as to who can be on the program and who cannot."
Tensions simmered on the Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee, where DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew and Rhode Island Medicaid consultant Gary Alexander presented a study that painted Maine as a state that has been advancing a Medicaid program it cannot afford.
Democratic Rep. Drew Gattine, of Westbrook, clashed with Mayhew over whether the administration had been forthcoming with the bad news.
Rep. Drew Gattine: "This seems to me like something the department could have given us six or eight months ago, based on information that was already available to them. And this is just a sort of a repackaging of things we've been hearing over the past year."
DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew: "We are not here late in the game, and I take offense to the notion that we have not been in front of this Legislature working to provide information. The fact of the matter is, this program for the last decade has been rocked by financial crisis. It has had annual shortfalls, and we've been crawling out of the hole since we lost the temporary enhanced federal Medicaid funding."
Other Democratic leaders say they will need to have definitive and verifiable information from the administration before they're willing to accept GOP predictions on the size of the deficit. Rep. Peggy Rotundo, a Lewiston Democrat, is the co-chair of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee.
"I think we need to look at those numbers and understand those numbers," Rotundo says. "We know from the past that sometimes the numbers that the Department of Health and Human Services have presented to us have not been accurate, and there have been problems with the numbers that they've given us."
And Sen. Margaret Craven, a Lewiston Democrat who co-chairs the Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee, says Commissioner Mayhew and her staff are actually responsible for the shortfalls.
"You know, mismanagement in this department for the last several quarters is just amazing to me," Craven says, "and I am not surprised that because of mismanagement that we are in the hole for $119 million dollars."
Legislative leaders say if Gov. LePage stands by his refusal to submit a supplemental budget, they will craft their own solution to the shortfall.

Ice Breaker Mats
Say Good-Bye To Icy Steps, Landings and Walkways
Ice Breaker Mats
Say Good-Bye To Icy Steps, Landings and Walkways
We Vermonters have learned a few things about winter. Icy steps and doorways are hard to chip clean, and using salt and sand wears them down. That's why we just love this ice breaker mat. Attach to your dry, clear stairs and doorways with nails, staples, or weather-resistant adhesive; when ice forms, step on the mat, and the ice breaks up. Then just kick or sweep it away. Remove in the spring (depending on the method you choose to secure the mats to your stairs or walkways) or leave on for year-round slip resistance. Use multiple mats together for landings and walkways. We offer the mat in 2 styles: the stair mat, 8¾"x36", and the doormat, 24"x36". Each style is sold individually.
- Step on the mat and ice breaks up
- Ice easily sweeps away
- Choose a stair mat or door mat; each sold individually
- Attach to stairs and doorways with nails, staples, or weather-resistant adhesive
At The Vermont Country Store, we offer products to help keep you safe throughout the winter, such as our ice breaker mats in 2 styles.
Shipped separately via standard shipping only. Expedited shipping and gift wrap are not available.
Gift wrap not available.

(Jan 25, 2013) A court in Bangladesh known as the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has sentenced a former leader of the country's largest Islamic party to death. Abul Kalam Azad, an ex-member of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, was found guilty of rape and murder. The verdict was handed down in absentia; the accused is believed to have fled the country. (Bangladesh Cleric Gets Death Sentence for War Crimes, DAWN.COM (Jan. 22, 2013).)
The ICT, which is a domestic tribunal with no international oversight, was created in 2010. In February of that year, the Government of Bangladesh announced that trials would be held for persons accused of committing war crimes during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. (Constance Johnson, Bangladesh: War Crimes Trials Planned; ICC Ratified, GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR (Mar. 29, 2010).) Last year, the ICT refused to grant bail to the former head of the opposition Jamaat-e-Islami party in Bangladesh, Ghulam Azam. (
The Attorney General of Bangladesh, Mahbubey Alam, stated that the verdict is "a victory for humanity. Bangladeshi people have been waiting for this day since 1971. They can now heave a sigh of relief." (Bangladesh Cleric Gets Death Sentence for War Crimes, supra.)

DERBY - Vermont's downtowns got a boost Wednesday and as an added bonus, at least in the eyes of some people, two groups who are strongly against Walmart outside of towns say they will not oppose a large super center off the Derby Road.
