Abigail Fuller, 52, Wins First Race at Gulfstream
Abigail Fuller, 52, Wins First Race at Gulfstream
By Ed Gray
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Jockey Abigail Fuller, who rode with great success during the 1980s and 1990s, rode her first winner at Gulfstream Park Sunday aboard Rule Number Six in the second race.
The 52-year-old veteran rider, who returned to riding last summer at Calder Race Course, is best known for riding her father Peter Fuller's Mom's Command to victory in the 1985 New York Filly Triple Crown and the Alabama Stakes (G1). Mom's Command, the 1985 3-year-old filly champion, has been inducted into Thoroughbred Racing's Hall of Fame.
Fuller, the mother of three who has ridden 581 winners, set most of the pace aboard the Ron Gaffney-trained 14-1 long shot in Sunday's 1 1/16-mile race for maidens and out-gamed favored Half Wed in a stretch duel to prevail by a head.
"He once ran off with me after a race when I first rode him going short, so we knew going long was his thing," said Fuller, who rode two winners at Calder after returning to the saddle. "I never rode at this meet. It's great. It's always fun to win, but winning at Gulfstream, I've never done that, so it's definitely fun."

The high-end auction houses experienced astounding sales in 2012. Both Christie's and Sotheby's were establishing new sales record at nearly every auction. Those auction-adventure stories are expected to continue in the first quarter 2013 as well, according to report from Reuters.
Sotheby's is holding an auction of impressionist, modern, and surreal art and is expecting sales to range from $$166 to $239 million on February 5. The very next day, Christie's is holding a similar auction and anticipates fetching $157 to $238 million from it.
Due to the low returns received on other opportunities at this time, industry pundits expect the art market to remain strong.
"I believe the top end of the art market will continue to perform strongly, particularly in the contemporary, impressionist and modern art sectors," said Georgina Adam, editor-at-large of The Art Newspaper.

Over in El Cajon, which is almost like little Baghdad, Kassim Irzoqi Alhimidi pleaded not guilty in the murder of his wife, Shaima Alawadi. So much for the threatening note: go back to your country, you terrorist. I never bought it, not for one second. Not in El Cajon. Maybe Chula Vista. (Just kidding all you CV'ers. Not down there either.) Stay classy, Kassy.

Any bets it was a dis that got her killed?
I suspect this is called honor killing…and in Muslim circles, it's acceptable for women to be second class citizens and they should submit to their own murders,…k
Have you read the novel "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini from Afganistan? I realize it is different countries – but this novel basically follows a woman through life in Afganistan, including a near death experience like the one Shaima must have endured. My daughter and I read it at the same time earlier this year so we could discuss it. For as far as the world has come, we have so far to go.

Choosing Good Books
The cliché "one size fits all" is easily challenged when it comes to books. Selecting something to read, whether it's a novel, magazine, or comic book, can be emotional. All of us have read books that leave us breathless as we tell a friend the plot. For kids, that emotion is escalated to the nth degree, because selecting just the right book is a declaration of independence as a reader and a commitment to a new journey. These articles offer invaluable suggestions on all types of books, including vacation reads and everyone's favorite—picture books. There are also guidelines to help you select multicultural books, which reflect RIF's commitment to enhancing literacy through book distributions: "By introducing young readers to new people and places, they can begin to see similar human qualities that are common bonds between all people and discover the wonderful differences that distinguish one culture from another."

Toronto three-piece Austra has routinely been labeled "goth" in the press for its debut album, Feel It Break. As a description, it's accurate enough. From start to finish, the album is full of brooding synth-pop numbers in the minor key, with cryptic lyrics washed in reverb.
But, on a coincidental level, the "goth" label has a historical appropriateness to it. Gothic cathedrals, for all of the darkness associated with their name, featured towering windows that let in more sunlight than any other type of building built before, giving their interiors a distinct sense of lightness.
Feel It Break is a lot like that. "Darken Her Horse," the album's opener, begins with a pulsing, mid-range synth loop and steely vocal incantations, but soon enough, a shimmering arpeggiator enters the mix to give the song a floating, spacey feel. The rest of the album's 11 tracks pick up on this oscillation between darkness and buoyancy, making for a finished product that's equally suitable for the dance floor as it is for a darkened, candlelit room.
By far the most interesting thing about Austra's sound is singer Katie Stelmanis' voice, which she honed by singing in the Canadian Opera Company as a kid. It's dynamic and pitch-perfect, powerful but delicately controlled. Austra is at its best when Stelmanis is front and center in the mix, showing off her hard-earned singing chops (see "Lose It" and "Hate Crime").
But, even when the singer's voice is tucked between hypnotic synth riffs and throbbing drum loops, the band pulls it off. As a debut and a fleshing out of Stelmanis' previous eponymous work, Feel It Break is a solid place to build from and a reason to expect good things from Austra in the future.

It's more about being a national school in the sense that national firms OCI at your school. That's it. UCLA, USC, Texas, and Vandy don't bring in Seattle/CA/NYC/DC/Texas firms like GULC. It doesn't mean that BigLaw is a guarantee, or that these schools will get you a job, but you can count on finding a Miami firm at your OCI, regardless of the fact that your school is in Boston, Chicago, or NYC.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
A meeting that went on Thursday was important to anyone who wants to protect rights of way in the back country of Carbon County.
Carbon County requested assistance from anyone who has knowledge of pre-1976 travel on public roads crossing federal land. That was especially true of those who were willing to testify to help maintain the public roads system in the county. The meeting was held at the county events center at the Fairgrounds.
The Carbon County Commission, together with the State of Utah, has been pursuing legal action in federal court to quiet title to the pre-1976 public roads crossing federal land in the county. Thursday's meeting served to better allow the county's legal counsel to identify potential witnesses for later interviews and testimony supporting the historical uses of these roads.
People were asked to bring any evidence, such as pictures and documents, that could be used as evidence of the historic uses of public roads on federal land.
Pre-1976 public highways are commonly referred to as RS 2477 rights-of-way. RS 2477 is contained in the July 26, 1866, Mining Law, Section 8, and states: "The right of way for the construction of highways over public lands, not reserved for public uses, is hereby granted." RS 2477 was repealed on October 21, 1976, in the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA).
However, all roads accepted by public use prior to FLPMA were grandfathered as local and state roads with full local authority.
Present at the meeting were Rex Sacco, the land manager for Carbon County, Mitch Maio, a representative from the Utah State Attorney General's office, which is helping the county with road issues in the western part of the county, and Mark Burghardt from the law firm of Holland and Hart, which is assisting with roads in the eastern part of the county.
For the first part of the afternoon there was a steady stream of people coming in with statements and some with photos that showed various areas where they had traveled. Some said they could find photos of some of the contested roads being used in the years before 1976.
However the turnout was not what Sacco had hoped for.
"Overall we didn't get that good a turnout, but we will keep working at this," said Sacco on Monday morning.
One of the problems county land officials are concerned with is that they have many, many witnesses concerning the viability of roads pre-1976 in the eastern part of the county, yet for the western part those that can testify are lacking.
"We really need some people to come out and give us information on roads in the western part of the county," stated Sacco.
Stateside there are over 17,000 roads in dispute over RS 2477 issues. Many counties have just begun the process of designating the roads they want to see come under the statute. Carbon county is one of the leaders in finding those roads. It has been working on this issue for 10 years. Because the testimony has be be given by people who traversed roads before 1976, many of those who can testify are older seniors.
"For a lot of that time we have been gathering witness lists and having affidavits signed by those testifying as to what they know about the roads," explained Sacco. "Unfortunately a good number of those people that participated have passed away."
Any evidence residents may have along with testimony would help. That includes documents and particularly photos of the roads in use.
Under Title 5 the county has the use of roads in perpetuity in some cases, but not in all.
Sacco said the county would continue to work on getting more input on the roads in question, and asks that anyone who has information on roads, particularly in the western part of the county contact him at the Planning and Zoning Department at the Carbon County government complex.

ARCHER CITY, Tx. (Reuters) - Hipsters, booksellers and fans from across the country converged on the town where "The Last Picture Show" was filmed to buy a few books - or a truckload - at "The Last Book Sale," writer Larry McMurtry's once-in-a-lifetime auction.
McMurtry amassed 450,000 volumes in his used and rare book business called Booked Up, whose four buildings dominate the tiny municipality. At 76, the famed author said he decided to sell 300,000 volumes at a two-day auction that concludes on Saturday because they would be "a huge burden" for his heirs.
With the auction underway, McMurtry, who wrote "Terms of Endearment," "The Last Picture Show" and more than 20 other novels plus major screenplays such as "Brokeback Mountain" and many works of nonfiction, said he's finished writing fiction.
"I think I had about 20 good years," said the winner of a Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1986 for "Lonesome Dove." "Writers don't get better as they get older, they get worse. Fifty is usually the stopping point."

The news that students in North Carolina and in the nation are faring worse on college-entrance examinations is unpleasant. But it needs to be put in perspective.
North Carolina scores were down two points in each of the three categories on the SAT exam. Reading scores fell to 491, math scores to 506 and writing scores to 472, for a total of 1469. The maximum score is 800 on each section.
Asheville and Buncombe schools both exceeded the state average, with 1586 in the city and 1538 in the county.
Nationally, reading and writing scores have fallen since 2008 to 496 and 488 respectively while math scores are unchanged at 514. Scores on the other college-entrance exam, the ACT, have slipped slightly in reading and English while rising on math and science.
The College Board, which administers the SAT, said 57 percent of 2012 seniors taking the test scored lower than the level deemed necessary to succeed in college. The at-risk percentage of ACT takers was 60.
There's nothing to cheer about here, but one point often gets overlooked. We are testing more students than we used to. Sixty-five percent of public high school students took the SAT, the highest rate in state history.
Nationally there has been a 61 percent increase in the number of poor students tested since 2008, according to the College Board.
Eleven states already require students to take one of the two tests and a 12th will join the ranks next year.
It's easy to get good scores if you test only the good students. That's a major reason U.S. test scores lag behind those of many other countries, In many of those countries, only the good students are tested. The U.S., to the contrary, has made a commitment to educate all students.
One way to improve scores is to have more students in a rigorous college-prep curriculum, said Jim Montoya, vice president of the College Board. "This report is a call to action. We intend to prove that a student's potential is limited only by his or her efforts."
One encouraging sign in North Carolina is that the number of students in Advanced Placement courses increased 7.8 percent and the number testing well enough to get college credit increased by 7.2 percent.
"The strong SAT and Advanced Placement participation rates in North Carolina are encouraging because they demonstrate that students are planning to further their college education," said state school Superintendent June Atkinson. "I am especially pleased to see AP participation rates and performance improving."
Within two years, 46 states, including North Carolina, will have instituted some or all of the common core standards developed by national agencies of educators and governors. "The expectation will no longer be just to graduate students but to be really preparing students for college," said Chris Minnich of the educator group.
"We don't think every student is going ? to college, but we do think students should have the opportunity, have the options," he added.
And that in essence is what makes our educational system strong. We make it our goal to see that every student is educated, not just those who come from families with concerned parents. The title of the landmark Bush-era education law says it best: No Child Left Behind.
This is not to say we should be satisfied with the scores. We shouldn't. We must extend efforts to improve outcomes in general and to close the achievement gap between white and minority students in particular.
At the same time, however, we must insist that despite the claims of those who would dismantle public education, our schools are not failing.

Epidemiology, Infectivity and Natural History of Hepatitis C Virus Infection

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in blood donors who test positive for antibodies to this virus. Most HCV-infected people do not become ill and are not aware that they have hepatitis or have had it in the past. Some infected people recover completely, whereas others remain chronically infected. The study will try to define infectivity of anti-HCV positive individuals, routes of transmission of the virus, and the number of HCV-infected persons who have evidence of liver disease.
Blood donors at the NIH Clinical Center or the Central Maryland Chapter of the American Red Cross who test positive for HCV may be eligible for this study. Participants will have a physical examination and history, including questions about socioeconomic status and current sexual practices. They will have 100 milliliters (ml) (6 tablespoons) of blood drawn at the first visit and 50 ml (3 tablespoons) drawn 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after the initial visit. Some participants may undergo plasmapheresis, a procedure for collecting additional plasma (the liquid portion of the blood). For this procedure, whole blood is collected through a needle placed in an arm vein. The blood circulates through a machine that separates it into its components. The plasma is then removed, and the red and white cells and platelets are returned to the body, either through the same needle used to draw the blood or through a second needle placed in the other arm. In some individuals, other body fluids (saliva, urine or semen) may also be collected.
Participants may be asked to bring their household contacts and sexual partners to NIH for interview and blood testing for evidence of HCV infection and liver disease. Although this is not required for participation in the study, it would provide additional valuable information.
Participants found to have chronic viral infection will be seen more often and will provide additional blood samples for routine medical care. Further medical evaluation may include X-rays or liver scans and referral to a specialist for additional tests or therapy.
Ten people in this study will be recruited to participate in a secondary investigation to analyze changes in the level of HCV and the immune response to it, and to relate these changes to the degree of liver damage. In addition to blood collected for the primary study, participants in this investigation will have an additional 50 ml (3 tablespoons) of blood drawn from an arm vein every week for 10 weeks to measure levels of virus, ALT (a liver enzyme), and immune response.
Hepatitis C
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Epidemiology, Infectivity and Natural History of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in a Blood Donor Population
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 1991
At initiation of this study in 1991, approximately 0.6% of U.S. blood donors were identified as having antibody to the hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV). This represented 72,000 of the estimated 12 million annual U.S. blood donations. By investigating a cohort of anti-HCV positive donors, this study aims to determine: 1) the primary routes of HCV transmission in an asymptomatic donor population; 2) the relationship between anti-HCV and evidence of acute or chronic liver disease; 3) the infectivity of anti-HCV positive individuals as judged by measurement of HCV RNA and by investigation of their sexual partners and prior blood recipients; 4) the chronic consequences of HCV infection. The study does not directly provide treatment for HCV infection. Enrollment is limited to persons identified as anti-HCV positive at the time of blood donation and persons from any source found to have clinical or molecular evidence of acute hepatitis C virus infection. Although the primary goal of this study is to investigate HCV infection and its outcomes, we occasionally encounter blood donors or NIH patients who are infected with HBV or who have HCV-HBV coinfection. We will enroll such patients to better understand HBV infection and to compare outcomes in those who are HCV monoinfected, HBV monoinfected or who have HCV-HBV coinfection.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Blood donors will be enrolled from among participants in the blood programs of the National Institutes of Health/Clinical Center/Department of Transfusion Medicine (NIH/CC/DTM) and the American Red Cross/Central Maryland Chapter/The Greater Chesapeake and Potomac Regional Blood Services (ARC).
Enrollment will be restricted to those who test positive in the anti-HCV screening assay.
To fulfill criteria for study entry, the donor must:
- be anti-HCV+ at the time of donation.
- be 18 years of age or older.
- be able/willing to travel to NIH for blood sampling 4 times in the first year of study and semi-annually thereafter and willing to have an annual history and physical examination.
- provide informed consent.
Donors who do not consent or who do not meet eligibility criteria will be excluded from the study with appropriate explanation.

Mischief Books
Please tell editors/publishers you read their guidelines on the
Call for Submissions
Mischief Books (Avon/ HarperCollins imprint)
What we are looking for
We publish an extensive list of original erotica and erotic romance in themed short story anthologies, petite novels of 40K minimum word length, novels and single author collections of 80K minimum word lengths.
We are looking for fiction that really is a cut above tired, formulaic, hurriedly written and mass produced erotica in a saturated genre. We are looking for inspired and imaginative explorations of explicit sexual fantasies, considered writing, well-developed characters, and interesting stories. Your stories should hit the ground running and sex and sexual tension must be the driving force of your narrative.
Stories need to be written in a modern idiom and the reader must find it easy to suspend her disbelief. The ideal narrative is one where the reader can vicariously enjoy all manner of thrilling erotic experiences, but they must be experiences which are credible.
What to send us
In the first instance, for single author titles (novel, novella or single author collections), you should send the following:
i) A short paragraph explaining what the submission is about, within your email (for short stories please state the title of the collection you are submitting to).
ii) For novels, novellas and single author collections of short stories, an outline of the work. We want you to convince us that erotic action and tension is the driving force of the narrative. We prefer novels and novellas to actually begin with an erotic scene as a statement of intent. Include the first chapter/story and two other chapters/stories of the finished text of single author titles which show your writing at its best.
Send your submission to the editorial email address: email@example.com
We will attempt to acknowledge your proposal within a week of receiving it. But please be patient for news of an editorial decision. We are already receiving a large volume of proposals each week, so we're constantly working with a huge backlog.The average waiting time for a full response can be as long as three months.
Once your proposal has been acknowledged, we'd very much appreciate if you don't write or call to ask how it is faring.
Please do not send hard copies.
At Mischief we do pay advances for novels and novellas, as well as a very competitive royalty rate.
What we DO NOT Want
- Single random short stories or reader's letters style fantasies (unless requested or specific to an advertised collection)
Here's a list of the most common reasons why we reject manuscripts:

Reading improves our children's livesThis morning, hundreds of bicycle riders will congregate at the Moreland Mill in the south Coweta town to participate in the annual Lewis Grizzard and Catfish Memorial Bike Ride.
It all begins at 8 a.m. and riders can choose from a 12-mile, a 25-mile and a 100-mile ride through some of the beautiful areas of Coweta County.
All of the money raised in this ride -- named for Coweta's famous journalist, writer and humorist and his dog -- goes to the local Ferst Foundation, which distributes books monthly to Coweta children under the age of 5.
Ferst is a very special books program in our community because of the importance of reading in the lives of our young children. As the Coweta Ferst Foundation outlines on its website, "Reading regularly with your children during their preschool years gives them the biggest boost toward a successful education they will ever receive. Children who start kindergarten with reading experiences are happier and more successful students all through school."
That said, here is why Ferst efforts to get books into homes is so important: Sixty-one percent of low-income families do not have a single piece of age-appropriate reading material in their home, and 75 percent of Georgia's students who are poor readers in the third grade will remain poor readers in high school.
We applaud Ferst for its efforts to provide books and get young children exposed to reading. We thank all the bicycle riders for participating in today's rides and supporting the Ferst effort.
Finally, we would encourage other Cowetans to consider a donation to the Coweta Ferst Foundation. Donations provide books, and books make a diffference in young people's lives. Find out how to make a donation at the website -- cowetaferst.org -- or mail donations to Coweta Ferst Foundation, P.O. Box 336, Newnan, Ga. 30264.

Model Citizen - Colleen Thaler
10/20/2010 - By Gayle Davis
Photo: McKay Imaging (mckayimaging.com)
Keeping it in style...Meet Colleen Thaler. She is poised, articulate and gorgeous! That's because she's a model - in many ways. In an industry that worships youth, Colleen has beat the odds and sustained a career for nearly 25 years. Colleen credits her mother for keeping her grounded while entering a career where most might become over-confident. Throughout the years it became apparent that just about every pageant or contest win was meant for this Parsippany, New Jersey native. With no formal training, Thaler has garnered several acting credits and has donned a couple of crowns.
Thalers mom encouraged Colleen to start dancing at a very young age something that she attributes her confidence to.Doors began to open for Colleen as she started to audition for Broadway shows in Manhattan.Although she did not land any major roles, everywhere she went people asked if she was a model or had any interest in becoming one. As luck would have it, she got a break that gave her a start in the industry. Thaler has been represented by two of the top agencies in the world, Ford and Elite, and has worked with numerous celebrities and iconic fashion designers such as Valentino, Calvin Klein and Arnold Scassi to name a few. Colleen is presently with Decorum Model Management in New York City.
Throughout Thalers career she has earned the titles of Miss New Jersey USA, Miss Meadowlands, and Miss English Leather. She has cheered for the New Jersey Nets and danced with the New Jersey Ballet not to mention the various print and television commercial ads she has also appeared in.
Living In Marlboro got the chance to sit down and talk with Colleen, who is entering a new era in the modeling world and has no plans of stopping anytime
LIM: You have been modeling for more than twenty-four years. Please tell us what you were doing prior, and how you first got your big break into the industry.
CT: I was dancing for 17 years, and did that in the city by 14 years old. Through that, a woman came up to me at a dance convention and asked me if I was interested in modeling. At that age I was like, Yeah, definitely! So I came home and said to my mother, Im gonna be a model! I had never taken anything but a school picture. Oddly enough, it worked out that the woman who stopped me also owned a catalog company that provided costumes for dancing schools. So I modeled for the costume catalog and took those pictures into the city and more or less started modeling.
LIM: You have been represented by two of the biggest modeling agencies in the world, Ford and Elite; tell us the process you went through to secure working with them.
CT: Ford was my original agency.When I first started modeling I was with Paris USA, which is no longer around. I used to take a lot of test shots with photographers and I went on an open call with Ford and they called me back. I was with them for about five years and then I was represented by another agency for a few years before I went to Elite, where I was for about 10 or 11 years.
LIM: Did Elite come knocking on your door?
CT: The modeling industry is a small world. An agent I knew had moved from Ford to Elite, so I went there and was fortunate to sign with them. At this point in my life I feel so privileged to still be doing what I am doing.When I had my first child I thought it would be over! But Elite worked with me and kept me on. When I got pregnant with my second child, the agents who I was working with had left while I was out on maternity not that such a thing really exists in the business! So I left Elite and now I am represented by Decorum, which is a big agency.
LIM: Did any of these agencies place any certain type of stereotypical demands on you such as certain weight guidelines, hairstyles, etc?
CT: I was young when I went to Ford, so it was pretty easy back then. They did tell me how they wanted my hair and that I could lose five pounds. I remember one of the biggest concerns when I went to Elite was my height, because I am barely five foot nine. I am five feet eight and three quarters. They actually measured me, but there was nothing I could do about it! Luckily I havent had a problem.
LIM: Do you remember your first big modeling job?
CT: I originally started modeling more body wear, like jeans and swimwear. But my first big fashion break was with Arnold Scassi, who was a big designer. He was designing for the Red Carpet at the time. I was in his showroom doing a show and I came out in a jump suit with really wide legs I was in the back and I was so nervous while I was getting changed. My heart was pounding! I got into one leg, and the other leg was hanging off to the side (laughs)! Arnold said to me, What are you doing to my clothes? I felt so ridiculous! That was in the very beginning. Now if that happened I would laugh about it, but back then it was so embarrassing! I also remember at one of my first photo shoots, they didnt like my hair, so they just came over with scissors and cut it! I was like, This is what you do? You know in this business you learn as you go!
LIM: Your resume boasts almost 20 top fashion designers and department stores Valentino, Calvin Klein, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales just to name a few. Can you highlight what its like working with the best of the best?
CT: Oh, its amazing! I worked with Calvin Klein for eight years. They took me all over the country and the world! Its great. Its interesting meeting them all one on one. He was a terrific man. I also worked with Michael Kors who will tie your shoes for you if you need them tied; just a real nice person. I worked closely with Isaac Mizrahi for years who is just a brilliant and talented, funny man. And then there are designers who I have worked with who arent so wonderful.We wont name them! A lot of times you work with the people who work under the designer and you dont see the designers at all.And sometimes they float in to give their approval and the aura just changes.
LIM: Do you get to keep the clothing after you do a show?
CT: When I first started modeling some designers would ask if I worked for clothes and they would then pay me in clothing. It was never the current runway stuff. But that was okay, at the time. I was a clotheshorse back then! Then I got a little older and began to realize working for clothes wasnt going to pay my rent.Alot of times you really dont get to keep anything, like people think we do.
LIM: People have their own preconceptions of what its like in your business
CT: I wont say its not glamorous, but its not what people think.
LIM: One stereotype is that models live on coffee and cigarettes. Is this a thing of the past?
CT: I definitely think its a thing of the past. I am not saying theres not still an issue to be thin, but I think things have completely changed. I think models are healthier. In the 80s models always graced the covers and girls looked up to them. Today its Hollywood. You see all the stars on the covers and in the makeup ads. The Supermodel doesnt really exist like it used to. Some of the girls I work with are half my age and they are smart. They are doing things other than modeling, and they are healthy.
LIM: But do you think there is still pressure from the agencies to be thin?
CT: I think there still is, but whats nice is that I think back then it was considered to be more of a beauty standard, but today there is more freedom to beauty. Its not just about being blonde and blue eyed and skinny; now its diverse. Its old, its young I was just looking at Vogue with a whole layout of a plus-sized model and you would have never seen that years ago. I think we need to embrace all sizes and shapes.
LIM: You had just touched upon the celebrity factor magazines seem to have switched gears. We now see the faces of people like Jennifer Aniston, Halle Berry, Julia Roberts and so forth on the cover of fashion magazines. What do you attribute this to and what effect has it had on your work?
CT: Well, it hasnt really had an effect on me. There are not too many levels of modeling. Theres the supermodel and then theres the level right below that...the working model, and I have always been the latter. Its not that I have graced the covers of Vogue, but I have done a lot of ads, I am in showrooms, and I have done runway. I have been really, really fortunate that I have lasted as long as I have. The work is still as good its just different. I think that if the model is a supermodel today, she is also a celebrity like Heidi Klum. I think it takes more than just being pretty. There are so many young, talented, beautiful people. Its a tough market!
LIM: You just mentioned Heidi Klum.You have had the opportunity to work with her and a few other celebrities and top models. Can you share a couple of these experiences with us?
CT: I actually worked with Heidi, who is hysterical! She has a funny sense of humor. I modeled her jewelry line, which was exclusive to Neiman Marcus. She had just come froma photo shoot, looking glamorous as ever, and she kind of let out that she was pregnant at the time, before anyone else even knew. So I kind of had this little secret that nobody else really knew! She was a really nice, down to earth person. And of course working with Calvin Klein Christy Turlington and Kate Moss were his print models. So I used to fit for both of them. I was kind of the in-between size for both of them. So a lot of times they would come in and we would work together. I did something for Saturday Night Live once! I dont know if you remember the model Frederique?
LIM: Yes, the Victorias Secret model!
CT: Yes! So Frederique and I did a scene together one time on Saturday Night Live which was a little spoof on JFK Jr ., may he rest in peace it was a beach scene. She was very nice and funny.
LIM: Do you have that taped?
CT: Yes, I do! The process of Saturday Night Live is wild! They overshoot scenes during the dry run for the studio audience and then the scenes that dont get great reaction get dropped for the live show. Its a really long day! But it was really interesting.
LIM: You have stated that you are fortunate to still be modeling. Not that you are old, but its rare that someone your age is able to stay employed in this business. What is your secret?
CT: I wish I had a secret. Part of it is that I like what I do and I am happy that I can still do it! I think showing up for work and still having that positive energy has a lot to do with it. I have worked for designers I worked for Calvin for eight years, Isaac for five, and I am currently with Eileen Fisher. Ive been with her for three years. So these stints have been long term.You know, I started modeling when I was very young and my mother always kept me grounded. I think those values still stay with me.
LIM: You must have seen a lot of your peers in the business come and go. That must be disheartening to see
CT: Yes, it is. Some of my old friends get in touch with me and say, You are still modeling? Yeah, there arent too many of my original crew left!
LIM: Lets take a walk down memory lane you were a cheerleader with the New Jersey Nets
CT: Yes, in 1985. The Nets had had cheerleaders years before, but they had stopped and were starting up again. I was driving in the car and heard about an audition for The Jersey Girls. They were looking for dancers so having been a dancer all my life, I went down to the Meadowlands and auditioned and was signed with them for three seasons!
LIM: In 1988 you were named Miss New Jersey USA and went on to compete in the Miss USA pageant. That had to have been an amazing time in your life
CT: It was amazing! I had been doing preliminary pageants and someone had scouted me and said I would do well in the Miss USA Pageant. So I ran for Miss New Jersey USA and won and then went on to compete in the Miss USA Pageant in Texas, which opened up a lot of doors for me. It gave me a lot of confidence. Believe it or not, I was really shy growing up. It was on T.V. and some of the judges were agents so I landed some Soap work. I was on Ryans Hope and it really gave me the fever, so it was great!
LIM: What other television work have you done?
CT: Well I was Amber Cross on Cable Crossings on NBC Universals Americas Talking Channel in 1994 and worked with Daisy Fuentes on that show.
LIM: It seems like everything you set out to conquer you have landed or won but yet you never really had any formal training. Do you consider yourself a natural?
CT: I would like to think I am a little bit. But there are plenty of things I did try out for that I didnt get! Rejection is a big part of this business. It takes a lot of self- confidence. But the Pageant, as I said, led to other opportunities for me. I dont know that I would have gotten the chance to do Ryans Hope which led to me doing a Lucille Roberts commercial and Flemington Furs, who was one of our sponsors. I did an ad for them which ran for years!
LIM: You also earned the title of Miss Meadowlands. Do you want to tell us about that (laughs)?
CT: It all comes full circle. Cheering for the Nets, they were holding a pageant for the Meadowlands and they asked me to run, knowing I had pageant experience. That year the Indie 500 was being held there, which was a big deal at the time, and they had wanted a Miss Somebody at the end. Actually, I met Paul Newman there because he was racing. There was a V.I.P. booth I was lucky enough to be there, I earned my honors! I was sitting there watching in the front row, right in front of what was the pit for his race car. He was sitting a couple of seats away from me and there was a woman sitting in the back of the stands knitting. She was shouting, Paul Paul He didnt hear her but I did, and I turned around and it was JoAnne Woodward, his wife! Donald Trump was there, too. It was quite a celebrity event.
LIM: Prior to this interview you had mentioned a story about Mario Andretti
CT: At one point I had to be picked up to take pictures with some of the race cars It was a four-day event, and on one of the days, Mario Andretti had crashed on one of the turns. Luckily he wasnt hurt, but we happened to be near that turn, so we had to go pick him up. So we went and here I am in the car in my race-suit he was upset, and cursing that he was out of the race. He looks up to his left and looks at me and says, Who is she? Like what was I doing in the car (laughs)!
LIM: That is so funny!
CT: Yes it was! Another thing to do at these races was to collect pins, like Valvoline® and Pennzoil® and I had every race car driver sign my banner and put the pins on it now I understand this banner that I have is worth a lot of money, but I dont really want to give it up!
LIM: You mentioned that you had danced for 17 years prior to getting into modeling. Tell us about that - and I understand you were with the New Jersey Ballet?
CT: I think my mother put me into dance initially because I was shy and quiet. I still love dance.
LIM: Do you still do it?
CT: I dont. Other than tap dancing in the kitchen with my daughter! I was with the New Jersey Ballet for three years, when I was 9 until 12 or 13. I love ballet, but tap was my thing. I was hitting the pavement and going to Broadway for auditions during high school.
LIM: Did you land anything on Broadway?
CT: I replaced an understudy for a chorus position with 42nd Street. Everywhere I went I was asked if I modeled or if I wanted to model; so when I started to model, there were a lot more opportunities for me. But dance, I feel, has given me the confidence and poise to do pageants and to model. It got me to try out for the Nets.My daughter dances now and I feel its important.
LIM: Last, but not least, on your resume, you also served as a Flight Attendant with International TWA So youve had the opportunity to see the world through two separate careers!
CT: I have been lucky. I have traveled pretty extensively between everything that I have done. I have been to Israel, South Africa, Madrid and Rome some through flying with TWA and some with modeling. I flew from 1987 until 1990. Flying is fun. It gives you a little taste of the world.
LIM: You have been married to your husband,Doug, for 16 years and have two children, Shannon, who is 11 and Ryan, who is 8, and call Marlboro your home. Modeling and being a mom and wife must not be an easy feat. How do you find balance?
CT: Well, I dont work every day. Its a nice balance because I get to work, but I get a lot of time to spend with my family. Of course when I am working a lot, it can be a little stressful.
LIM: You are currently working with Eileen Fisher?
CT: Yes. I am starting market next week. (This interview was done in early September.) I am doing runway and showroom for her. In the Fall there are a lot of shows so things pick up.
LIM: So are you part of Fashion Week?
CT: Its starting next week. I am in the showroom and its exciting! Its fun. My work has changed. I just did an ad for Ethan Allen. So now that I am aging, I am going to try to work in the commercial end of modeling.
LIM: Obviously age is a concern in the industry. Have you discussed the path you would like to take with Decorum?
CT: Age is a concern and when you are with a young agency, meaning the agency itself is young, they want to represent the young, up and coming models. I think I still have the fashion years left in me but there are agencies that represent women over 40 and are more commercial-geared rather than fashion geared. I love it, but it may be time to move (laughs). For years I was Barbie® for Mattel®. I would do Toy Fair, or model as Barbie® exclusive to Bloomingdales I would go to these shows I was Donna Karen Barbie® once I always say its only fair that Barbie® should age with me. Oddly enough when I dressed up like her I became Barbie®! In fact I collect dolls. Barbie® is one of my favorites.
LIM: What do you like to do when you arent working?
CT: I love to TAKE pictures. My subjects are usually my children and my dog. I really enjoy photography. I like to cook and I am a big scuba diver. I like to work with charities. I have worked with Big Brothers/Big Sisters in the past. I like charities that deal with children. Now that my kids are getting older I would like to find a charity I can focus on.
LIM: Where do you see yourself ten years from now?
CT: I still want to be working. I dont think I will have to stop. If there is work out there, I will be hoping to still be doing it.

Valve is working on Left 4 Dead 3, at least according to a leaked entry found on the Steamworks developer website that mentions the new zombie game.
Valve is currently working on getting Dota 2 ready for its public release and on continuously updating existing games like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It's also creating different projects like the Steam Box mini-PC.
The company recently opened up the Steamworks API to all, and apparently a listing for Left 4 Dead 3 has been found within the service's registries.
The leak, coming via NeoGAF, mentions the new iteration in the zombie shooter franchise, but no other details are available. Apparently, it hasn't been updated in some time, hinting that the project is currently on hold.
Valve has made no statement concerning Left 4 Dead 3's leak and, seeing as how it won't be coming to E3 2013, it's unlikely that the title will be showcased to the world next week.

Nov 1, 2013 - by Steve Gerweck
As announced by Dixie Carter on Impact, Eight men will compete in a tournament to determine the next TNA champion.
Pro Wrestling Since 1997
Nov 1, 2013 - by Steve Gerweck
As announced by Dixie Carter on Impact, Eight men will compete in a tournament to determine the next TNA champion.
I'm not the hugest fan of this storyline, but that tournament looks like a bunch of potential match of the year contenders waiting to happen, if they go all out.
Interesting how Magnus is the only one in the tournament to not hold the title. Also, why isn't Christopher Daniels in the tournament?
Meh–Either you didn't watch TNA last night (in which case, why comment without knowing the facts?) or you missed it. There was a Gauntlet match (actually a mini Royal Rumble) to decide the final spot in the tournament. Magnus won.
Wow. Total WWE rip-off.
Anybody remember Summer Of Punk 2011 Punk won WWE title said he was away with it, and WWE did a tournament for new WWE champion.
Im just waiting for the complete rip-off moment where AJ Styles shows up at a TNA interview on Spike during Bellator or something like when Punk showed up at Comic Con and it was on YouTube.
@ art123guy
You're right, I didn't see TNA Impact this week but that is only because this week's episode hasn't aired yet here in the UK as I have to wait until this Sunday to see to see this week's episode.
Still, my point stands, that Magnus is the only one in the tournament to not have hold the title and I personally feel that they should put Christopher Daniels into the tournament as well instead of including Chris Sabin.
I predict that Hardy and Roode will meet in the semi finals.
The big questions are:
1. Can Magnus beat Joe?
2. Will Aries beat Angle?
I think Magnus is going to win the title.
As far as this being a complete rip off of The Summer of Punk II, (which was in itself a rip-off of ROH's Summer of Punk I and had some similarities to Ric Flair's "Real World Champion" Angle over 20 years ago) AJ would have to never wrestle a match outside of his company while he's gone. He could only make one very brief, unadvertised appearance at a tiny indy show and not get physically involved whatsoever.
Defending the title in AAA in Mexico and Wrestle-1 in Japan means that although it may be something of a rip-off (of several angles, not just one) it's also taking it to the next level, so they at least deserve some props for that.
I agree with you on both counts. Magnus will win (turning heel and teaming up with Dixie) and the Styles angle isn't "a complete rip off of The Summer of Punk" because he's actually defending his belt elsewhere. I also believe he'll be off TV until a new champ is crowned as opposed to, what was it with Punk, a week?
Also, I recall Punk himself saying he would have liked to been off TV for a while longer to drive home the angle.
While I agree that TNA is doing too many angles that mirror what WWE has, people need to remember that WWE didn't invent every angle first and some of the ones they did weren't the greatest (Katie Vick anyone?)
This is so obvious that Magnus is going to win the title here. This is going to be terrible. Dixie is in love with Magnus, and even made mention about AJ not being "good looking enough" to be the TNA champion. We all know she is totally in love with Magnus, and he is the only one that doesn't even belong in this tournament.
So easy to call:
Magnus over Hardy in the finals to solidify himself as a heel (after also beating Joe & Angle in heel fashion in prior rounds).
If Dixie thinks Magnus is the answer to saving TNA, she is so wrong. Even more wrong than Vince was to think D.Bryan would be a Main Event draw.
C'mon guys, "a rip off angle"?
There hasn't been a new angle in wrestling since Lou Thesz was champ.Watching wrestling is like living in the movie "Groundhog Day."

Shorthanded Camarillo falls to St. Francis, 42-21
Scorpions play without several stars
LA CANADA — The Camarillo High football team may not have possessed a full, healthy roster Friday night in its CIF Southern Section Western Division quarterfinal against host St. Francis.
What the Scorpions did have was plenty of motivation and resolve. A resilient Camarillo squad took advantage of St. Francis miscues to go ahead 21-14 in the first half before ultimately falling 42-21.
Camarillo (10-2) was missing several players due to injuries, including tight end Nico Lima, running back Ray Thomas and linebacker Justin Fontanille.
But with players out, teammates stepped in and made an impact.
"We come down here (and) we hear a bunch of stuff .... We don't care. We come out and we play hard no matter who it is," wide receiver Tyler Waid said. "It was great to see guys step up."
Camarillo proved resourceful on St. Francis' third drive with game scoreless. The Golden Knights fumbled at the Scorpions' 30-yard line and Christian Hernandez scooped up the loose ball and returned it 70 yards for a 7-0 lead.
"We struggled a little bit to start offensively and we created a play on defense," Camarillo coach Jack Willard said. "That was great."
St. Francis (10-2) responded with a seven-play, 71-yard that was capped by Joe Mudie's 8-yard touchdown run.
Camarillo's offense started to find a rhythm and went on a 12-play, 80-yard drive that bridged the first and second quarters and ended with Rory MacNeill scoring a touchdown on fourth-down run from the 5-yard line.
Quarterback Ty Gangi evened it at 14-14 with a 7-yard run for St. Francis.
Waid, who caught four passes for 85 yards, made a 53-yard touchdown catch on Camarillo's next drive to put the Scorpions up 21-14 with a minute before halftime.
St. Francis uses a hurry-up offense and Dylan Crawford evened the score at 21-21 with a leaping 36-yard touchdown catch.
The Golden Knights held Camarillo scoreless in the second half.
Gangi put St. Francis ahead for good with a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter and the Golden Knights tacked on two more scores in the fourth quarter.
After the loss, Willard emphasized how the experience will help Camarillo going forward as it moves from the Pacific View League to the Marmonte League.
"These are great games to play in," Willard said. "We needed to be here. We deserved to be here.
"It sets the tone for the competition we're going to see week in and week out in the Marmonte League."
Willard praised his outgoing senior class.
"They are an incredible group of kids," he said.

Family Law
Brain-injured man can't marry, judge rules
By Debra Cassens Weiss

By Noncommital on 2013 10 07, 4:09 pm CDT
The Clerk did not issue the license, necessitating a mandamus action. In that mandamus case the Judge ruled that the license could not be issued because the Marriage and Dissolution Act trumped the Probate Act.
So it is a bit more than just consent, it's about whether the power of a Guardian can cover marriage requests as well as all the other stuff a Guardian can do, like divorces, adoptions etc.

With language that broad we figured a marriage should fit right in under these specific facts.
By Nate Reyes on 2013 10 07, 4:23 pm CDT
Clearly there needs to be protection against allowing guardians to have such broad powers that no distinction is made regarding situations that involve the guardian as a party to the transaction.

That's kind of the risk you take when co-mingling assets and families outside the bounds of marriage or other legally available contractual protections.
By Esq. on 2013 10 10, 2:50 am CDT
In our situation it was the Guardian both initiating and acquiescing to the marriage, which was where the legal question originated. However, to be clear, the fact that the ward had proposed marriage prior to his injury was a key factor.

(I would like to know how those brain-injured people in a vegetative state on life-support manage to "come to" his office for divorces, though. Are they savvy about negotiating on legal fees?)
Tough cases make bad law. This one - if any judge "fixes things" to "do justice" on re-hearing or appeal - will make bad law.
By Avon on 2013 10 12, 5:26 am CDT
By Lucreita D. Becude, Esq. on 2013 10 12, 4:06 pm CDT
A "common law statute" is an oxymoron. Common law rulings recognize established rights and re-affirm longtime traditions, but any statute the legislative branch might pass would either amend or replace the common law.
A couple of states allow common-law marriages to be created within their borders, but Illinois is not one of them. Illinois would recognize a common-law marriage from elsewhere, but this couple didn't create one in a common-law state by considering themselves married and presenting themselves publicly as married. Still, I can't imagine anyone in a vegetative state considering himself to actually be married and holding himself out as such, as opposed to merely being in a committed permanent relationship. So even if he'd been living in a common law marriage state, they'd be out of luck now.
Maybe you're thinking of community-property statutes. But they only apply upon divorcing.
This lady seems not to care about the inheritance right now; she just wants to marry whom she loves. (The media these days are full of reports of people who are saying that. Most of them will just have to wait til the law changes, right?)
But if inheritance is an issue, Esq #13 is right - if you didn't marry, you're out of luck. She could get back whatever property she put into the relationship, including her fair share of the house, if she can prove she contributed it. But no inheritance, unless he wrote a Will giving it to her. (Lawyers are always telling everyone to write a Will, and not just to charge a fee, either. You really never know if and when it'll be needed.)
I don't know why the ABAJournal reports that "A previous ruling allowed Purifoy to be considered an heir if Morris dies, Reyes told the Star." I assume the ABAJournal is just plain wrong.
The Star article actually says that the same probate judge had previously ordered that they be issued a marriage license, probably because Illinois Probate law would allow the guardian to marry the invalid. Maybe the judge even said it would be done to enable a spousal inheritance. But the local clerk refused to issue a license, and the judge then realized that the Marriage law would disallow the man's ability to marry. The judge is correct. Lisa gets no husband and no inheritance.
This kind of tragedy happened many times every day here in NYC in the 1980s. People dropped like flies of AIDS, and the bereft partners who had devoted their lives, and years of care, to them usually ended up with nothing. Often they were even excluded not just from inheritance but from the funerals. Sometimes, when a dead person's family blames the partner for the death, it still happens.
With no Will and no marriage, this will happen again and again.
By Avon on 2013 10 13, 12:09 am CDT
By Terry Charles on 2013 10 14, 9:47 pm CDT
A number of states have passed statutes to restrict or condition common law marriage, to curtail perceived abuses (e.g., raising of the alleged status by defendants accused of statutory rape, because the age of "capacity" for marriage at common law was generally lower than the age of "consent" under statutory rape laws). A number of these statutes bar the marriage or require parental consent or court approval if one of the participants is below a certain age.
At common law in our country, "capacity" was a necessary requisite for common law marriage, but of course, in Merrye Olde, those marriages with which the courts concerned themselves were generally among persons (and families) of substance. Speaking from historical perspective, it seems to me unlikely that a marriage arranged by a guardian for a ward would have been set aside on the "capacity" issue in Merrye Olde. It was a great (perhaps the greatest) concern in those days to perpetuate bloodline, and if that entailed arranged marriages of children or the feeble-minded, so be it. When the capacity issue involved an already existing marriage, there were remedies for that too, and the Anglican church is one such.

BloatWatch: Shaq vs. Barkley
June 3, 2011 - 8:26 am
Because it's Friday.
Barkley has very recently decided to fight his epic post-retirement weight gain, for which he should be commended. And he's not screwing around with some calorie-counting program — he went straight to CrossFit.
But Shaq says he is likely getting Achilles surgery, which will prevent him from doing much of anything for a while. Retirement, a naturally huge frame, and a bum leg, and this could get heavy real quick. Let's hope he stays healthy for a long time, by all accounts he is a heck of a nice guy.

There are many varied and outstanding volunteer groups across East Gippsland, contributing hugely to improving the local environment and having fun in the process.
A new website has been set up listing environmental groups across Gippsland. Sustainability Gippsland is a regional website site for environmental groups to share contact details and network with the wider public.
Sustainability Gippsland allows individuals/groups/businesses to develop new relationships and attract members and reduce the time and costs associated with communication and networking.
Sustainability Gippsland is a collaborative effort involving a range of organisations active in Gippsland around sustainability including five local governments, state government bodies, education providers, community organisations and the Gippsland Climate Change Network (GCCN).
There are many reasons to bring your community together and host an event to celebrate living in the amazing environment in East Gippsland. For a list of local events visit the Habitat Network East Gippsland, or visit national environmental events for some ideas on starting your own. Feel free to contact the Sustainability Unit if you would like to list a local event.
Sustainable Living Festival
Occurs in February in Melbourne, and hosts a range of talks and events. The Festival aims to inspire, educate and empower everyday Australians to accelerate the uptake of sustainable living.
World Wetlands Day
World Wetlands Day is celebrated internationally each year on 2 February. It marks the anniversary of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Convention) in Ramsar, Iran, on 2 February 1971. Why not organise an event for next year?
Clean up Australia Day
In early March each year, local community groups – Friends Groups, Landcare Groups, Scouts, sporting groups and schools – organise clean up sites to combat the litter problems throughout our Shire. Clean Up Australia Day
Earth Hour
Started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome's Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
Farmers Markets (monthly)
Food from local farmers markets have very low 'food miles.' This means little energy has gone into transporting products to the point of sale. You will notice in many Australian supermarkets it is very common to buy produce sourced internationally, for example fish from south-east Asia, or oranges from the USA. For this reason it makes sense to shop at the local Farmers Markets including Metung, Paynesville and Bairnsdale.
You could also visit the following website to find out more about food miles
Earth Day
Occurs each year on April 22.The first Earth Day in 1970 enlisted 20 million Americans; it was the largest organized citizen action in United States' history. With coordinated events taking place across the country, it is generally credited with launching the modern environmental movement. In 1990, Earth Day Network expanded internationally and organized campaigns in 142 nations. Earth Day now boasts the participation of more than one billion people in 190 countries. See the Earth Day website for more information.
International Biodiversity Day
Every year 22 May is the United Nations International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) and is designed to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. Biodiversity is most often understood as the number of different species of plants, animals and microorganisms in existence. However, biodiversity also encompasses the specific genetic variations and traits within species as well as the assemblage of these species within ecosystems. It is thought that ecosystems with high biodiversity might be more resilient to change, as they provide a larger pool of species that can potentially fill new niches.
World Environment Day
Occurs on 5 June annually. There are literally thousands of ways to do something positive for the environment. Again, whatever you decide to do, tell the United Nation Environment Program about it so they can post your activities on their website and make it part of the 'Wide World of WED' map.
Sustainable House Day (National)
Various houses across Australia will be opened up to show you how to live more sustainably on a day in September. Visit the website to find out how to register your house or where you can visit a sustainable house.
Weedbuster Week
Held each year around September and aims to tackle the threats of weeds to our local biodiversity. Organising or hosting an event in your local area can increase understanding about the impacts of weeds to many different people. Many Australians do not know their backyard garden plants could be contributing to the $4 billion cost of weeds to agriculture every year.
By hosting an event during Weedbuster Week you can help, but be sure to register your event at so it becomes officially recognised.
