Brazil real rises from three-week lowComment on this story
Sao Paulo - Brazil's real rose from a three-week low as eased tension in Ukraine following the nation's presidential election added to demand for higher-yielding assets in emerging markets.
The real advanced 0.1 percent to 2.2217 per dollar at 10:28 a.m. in Sao Paulo after declining last week to 2.2233, the weakest level on a closing basis since May 6.
Swap rates on contracts maturing in January 2016 dropped two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 11.52 percent.
US markets are closed today for a holiday.
Developing-nation currencies including the real climbed after billionaire Petro Poroshenko won Ukraine's presidential election and following Russian President Vladimir Putin pledge to work with the victor.
In Brazil, the real has climbed 6.3 percent this year partly on speculation President Dilma Rousseff will face a runoff following October's vote after overseeing stalled economic growth.
"The real is benefiting from the good sentiment toward emerging markets prevailing after the positive outcome of Ukraine's election," Andre Perfeito, the chief economist at Gradual Investimentos in Sao Paulo, said in a telephone interview.
"The holiday in the US should slow activity in the currency market today." - Bloomberg News

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- A thief pulled a man from a car at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday, beat him and stole his money. A woman driving the car took part in the beating and robbery, police said.
Meantime, in a 5:30 a.m. Friday burglary, a thief cut two women who were defending their home.
An overweight, bald burglar forced his way into an apartment through a door off a carport at 1401 Owens Ave. cut two women who fought him and ran with nothing, said an Albany Police Department report.
"When the victims made contact with the suspect demanding money and car keys, the victims fought back in a hallway going to the kitchen," said Phyllis Banks, police spokeswoman. "When they reached the kitchen the suspect took a knife and cut a woman on the upper chest and on a finger."
LaTasha Johnson, 35, suffered the cuts to the chest and finger, Banks said. She was treated at the apartment by Dougherty County EMS.
Johnson's sister, Earnestine Smith-Haggins, 33, also suffered injury but Banks had no information about the injuries other than to report they were minor.
Two other women were in the apartment at the time of the burglary.
Saneitha Smith, 19, and Jamara Crocket, 21, were uninjured.
Banks said, "We don't advise that, but we have some citizens who fight back for what is theirs. We don't advise that. Give up the property."
The attacker is described as completely bald, with a mustache and goatee, in his mid-30s, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing a stocky 270 pounds.
In another violent case, Andrew Strickland was taken from his female companion's green Honda, beaten and robbed at about 1:30 p.m. Thursday. His female companion, Kelly Howard, 32, drove the car and joined in beating and robbing Strickland.
Strickland, 25, of Albany, was in the passenger seat when the car was struck in the rear on the 500 block of Eighth Avenue by another car, driven by Michael Eugene Bailey, 42, possibly a white or silver Lincoln or Lexus, Banks said.
"The driver of the second vehicle (Bailey) walked over to Strickland's vehicle, pulled him out and struck him several times with his fists," Banks said. "Once Strickland was on the ground, his female companion (Howard) also began striking him."
After the attack, the duo stole Strickland's wallet with an undetermined amount of cash, along with Strickland's boots, and knife, according to the police report. Howard drove away in her Honda and Bailey drove away in his car.
Howard turned herself in at 4:30 p.m. Friday. Police are searching for Bailey.
There were at least three witnesses driving by who gave statements to the police. No other information such as descriptions of the thieves was available on this active case.
Anyone with additional information about the two cases should call Crime Stoppers at (229) 436-TIPS (8477) or investigations at (229) 431-3288. The Spanish speaking APD-COP Tip Line is (229) 434-2677.

Doncaster Knights' David McIlwaine to join Bristol Rugby in the summer
Posted: April 25, 2012|
NEW recruit David McIlwaine is relishing his summer move to Bristol – regardless of whether they are in the Aviva Premiership or Championship next season.
The 22-year-old Ulsterman, who was the leading points scorer for Doncaster Knights this season, will be closely following his future team-mates' progress over the coming weeks, though, in the hope they are promoted back to the big time.
McIlwaine, who is primarily a full-back but can also operate on the wing, will seal his switch to Bristol today – and is already looking forward to moving south.
"I am really excited by the challenges next season will bring – in either league," said McIlwaine, pictured. "Obviously, I hope the boys are promoted, and if we are in the Premiership then it becomes an even bigger challenge. So I will be following them intently over the next few weeks, keeping an eye out for the scores and watching any of the games that are shown on TV. I'm really looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and getting stuck into pre-season training. As soon as I knew Bristol were interested, it was really exciting for me. They play a great style of ruby and it really appealed to me to become a part of that."
McIlwaine scored 96 points for Doncaster but only featured once against Bristol – in the Knights' 38-12 home defeat on the opening day of the season. He missed Bristol's last three victories over Doncaster, including their 65-3 play-off triumph last month, after rupturing a pectoral muscle – but he will be fully fit for the start of pre-season training.
"I only got to play against Bristol once and that was the first day of the season when Bristol gave us a bit of a drubbing," said McIlwaine.
"But I was hugely impressed, both when I played against them and when I watched them, either against Doncaster or on TV.
"I was injured when they won 65-3 at Castle Park, but their performance that night was great. I'm looking forward to being a part of that style of rugby and I think it will suit my game."
McIlwaine, who is 6ft 3in, made 11 first-team appearances for Ulster during the 2010-11 season, including a Heineken Cup start against Biarritz, before joining Doncaster last summer.
He becomes Bristol's second new signing for next season, following Leicester scrum-half James Grindal, and is likely to be joined by further recruits over the coming days as Liam Middleton builds his squad for the 2012-13 season.
Shane Geraghty will rejoin London Irish this summer after signing a two-year deal with the club he left in 2009 to join Northampton.

Contracts to buy homes barely budged in January
The National Association of Realtors said Friday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index inched up 0.1 last month to 95. The index has fallen 9 percent over the past 12 months as sales momentum has faded.
Pending sales are a barometer of future purchases: A one- to two-month lag usually exists between a signed contract and a completed sale.
Higher mortgage rates, rising prices and a tight supply of homes have restricted sales in recent months. Snowstorms across much of the country also delayed purchases. The Realtors project that sales will total 5 million this year, down from 5.1 million in 2013.
Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Marcoeconomics, thinks home buying could slow further through March.
"The bad news is that existing-home sales need to fall a bit further to move fully into line with the pending-sales index," he said in a client note.
The rising costs of buying a home have contributed to a slowdown in signed contracts over the past seven months. Sales of existing homes plummeted in January to the weakest pace in 18 months, the trade group said last week.
Some of the price pressures will be eased if more homes come onto the market in the months ahead. One way to increase the supply is through the construction of new homes, a sector not measured by the Realtors' indicator on sales.
Purchases of new homes rose 9.6 percent in January to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 468,000, the Commerce Department said this week. That was the fastest pace since July 2008 and could lead to an uptick in construction.
More homeowners might also choose to put their properties on the market, a possibility suggested by a decline in underwater mortgages at the end of 2013, according to a report Friday by real estate data provider Zillow. Homeowners are considered underwater if they owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth.
A decline in underwater mortgages should enable more Americans to list their homes for sale because they would no longer be unloading their homes at a financial loss.
The share of mortgage holders with negative equity in their homes fell to 19.4 percent in the final three months of last year, down from 27.5 percent during the same period in 2012. Still, the negative equity rate remains four times the level of a healthy housing market.
So even if the supply of homes increases, it will be several years before the market returns to its usual conditions.
"Negative equity likely won't be back to normal levels for another five years," said Stan Humphries, chief economist at Zillow.

Known for its spacious banquet rooms and Greek decor, Venus de Milo Restaurant is a local landmark that offers timeless elegance in a modern-paced world. Venus opened its doors 51 years ago, originally as a bowling alley. Monte Ferris Sr, President of Venus De Milo, shares the story of how his father originally planned to open a 30-lane bowling alley, and after setting the foundation, the bank approved a loan that would only cover a 20-lane alley. There were some decisions that needed to be made on how to handle the extra land and, Ferris'uncle, Charles Sarkees, convinced the family to go into the restaurant business.
That decision has paid off as Venus de Milo remains one of the largest family-owned and operated restaurants in the region. Venus de Milo shares its name with the goddess from Greek myth and this theme is carried throughout the restaurant in names—Apollo Lounge and Athena Rooms, and its décor –paintings of Greek inspirations and the statue of Venus that greet patrons in the main lobby.
Visitors to the Venus have to try the minestrone soup and award-winning chowder for starters and then sample the lobster and prime rib. These dishes are signature plates and top-selling favorites. The Venus offers a wide, internationally inspired menu that is sure to have something for everyone and prices to meet any budget. Ferris' idea for the menu is about innovation and growth, and to help him achieve that goal, Volker Wagner, Executive Chef of the Marriott in New York City, has recently joined the Venus team. Together with Wagner, Ferris is revamping his menu to include new herbs, sauces, and recipe infusions for healthier, trendier delicacies while still carrying Venus' trademark quality.
When asked what sets him apart from his competition, Ferris believes that it comes down to quality, quantity, and the people. "We've found ways to be more efficient without compromising the quality of our services. You get real, honest value." He describes his staff as a community with members who are there for each other and he's "blessed to have such a committed group of people."
In the upcoming year, a newly renovated dining room will host live music and DJ. The goal is to open the restaurant up for a more social, relaxed atmosphere; a goal Ferris is confident and excited about achieving.
Ferris is also conscious of the community and the need to give back to it as he recalls advice his father gave him, "You are privileged to be able to make money, but remember that also comes with a responsibility to give back." This is something Ferris has not forgotten as he has contributed and been involved in several organizations and charities including the Chamber of Commerce, United Way, Boys & Girl Club, and Easter Seals.
Page 2 of 2 - Whatever the occasion, Venus aims to offer top quality service that will make lasting memories and invite you to come back for more.

There was some discussion of this here: http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/air-conditioner-issues?page=1
but that thread was mostly about A/C compressor noise, so I wanted to start a new one.
I have experienced several times now where various electronics hang up and cycle on and off - it seems to be related to CPU capacity. I am pretty sure each time it happened I was doing a big zoom-in or zoom-out on the map, and that caused the A/C to shut off for several seconds at a time, radio volume controls did not work, and some other commands did not respond. After a delay, those commands kicked in (e.g., the radio volume suddenly shot way up or down, depending on which way I had been pushing the button with no apparent response).
Not sure if this is an inherent limit (e.g., based on processor size/speed, amount of RAM) or if it can be corrected with some software download (maybe reprioritize processor usage?). The map - sadly - is already not too fast, and that's one of my minor complaints about the car. But I don't think it makes to try to speed the map up by shutting down (even temporarily) other systems!
Any experience with or thoughts on this issue? Any known fixes?
They should be independent of the touchscreen, IMO. Sounds like a service problem.
That doesn't sound right. Zooming in and out doesn't even use much processor... it's slow because it has to download new maps over "3G."
Others can comment, but I would suspect a 12V problem. What is your approximate VIN? The earlier ones were having problems in the 12V system, I understand. Old timers on the forum like BrianH could probably tell you better than me.
That sounds like the same problem someone described here:
Later in that thread, he reports that Tesla said it's a known bug, and then a few days after that, he says that the problem seems to be fixed in version 4.5 (1.33.44) of the software.
Definitely sounds like software, not hardware. Sounds like a process wasn't taught sharing when it was young.
Just go down to Best Buy and get some 32 gb DDR3 SODimm memory sticks and throw them in there. LOL.
That would be awesome. Upgrade the hard drive. Re install the OS. Oh man. A nerd's dream!
@ jonesxander , Model S does not use a hard drive.
@Amped, exactly that's why I said dream. :)
Would be cool though.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I ordered this for an extended family memeber who after surviving a fatal declaration that he would die in two weeks from cirrhosis of liver due to a 40 year alcohol addiction,in ICU 30 days, then 90 days of physical therapy from the damage of the illness(raving his body), he has made a full recovery and I beleive this helped.I vowed to help him when he got home and did extensive research on this herb and read a Havard report that anyone with cirrhosis should be taking this supplement no question.So he has and at his last doctor appt all his liver profiles and other related blood work came back very good levels and normal range....the doctors are astounded and I beleive taking this is making the difference.He has been on it since returning home and now has lived in good health for 3 years and no signs of any cirrhosis he takes this every day without fail and Dandilion Root (another liver tonic herb)
I continue to enjoy good health in spite of HEPC. I discovered silymarin about 10 years ago and take it every day. It is widely believed that up to 15% of people have HEPC and most don't know it. It wouldn't hurt to take this stuff just to know you're going to be better off if you do have it. Back in the 50's they gave vaccinations with reused needles, soaking them in alcohol between injections. We now know that HEPC is not affected by alcohol. If you're in your 50's you might want to get tested. Then again you may just want to do the best thing you can for it, which is to use this product. Modern medicine can do little more.

By C. Trent Rosecrans
The Reds have been looking for a top-of-the-rotation starter for the last two years and filled it, but at a deep cost, sending Yonder Alonso, Edinson Volquez, Brad Boxberger and Yasmani Grandal to the Padres for 24-year-old right-hander Mat Latos, the team announced on Saturday.
|Hot Stove League
In Latos, the Reds get a partner for Johnny Cueto at the top of their rotation, something they've desperately needed. Latos, who just turned 24, isn't arbitration-eligible until 2013 and is 27-29 with a 3.37 ERA in three seasons with the Padres. Latos was 9-14 with a 3.47 ERA in 31 starts for the Padres last season, striking out 185 batters in 194 1/3 innings.
"Mat is a big, strong young pitcher with electric stuff," Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said in a release from the team. "We consider him to be a potential number one starter who, contractually, we have under control for four more years. To acquire a pitcher who is ready to fit into the top of a rotation, you have to give up talent."
Alonso hit .330/.398/.545 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 98 plate appearances for the Reds last season. A first baseman, Alonso was blocked in Cincinnati by Joey Votto. He had played some left field hoping to get time there, but he's more suited to first base.
Grandal, a switch-hitting cathcer, was the team's first-round pick in 2010 out of the University of Miami. Boxberger was a potential closer for the Reds this season after being taken in the first round of the 2009 draft. Volquez, an All-Star in 2008, was acquired in the trade that sent Josh Hamilton to Texas.

- Surviving adversity makes UTEP football player better
Either Trevor Vittatoe drank a magic potion Wednesday morning or UTEP has taken its quarterback intrigue to a new level.
After spending Tuesday in a protective boot over his right ankle and foot, the senior quarterback walked without a limp in full practice gear down the Sun Bowl steps, then bounded in front of television cameras.
"I'm walking like a champ," he proclaimed. "It's feeling a lot better after getting a lot of treatment. (The boot and missing Tuesday practice) was more precautionary. I'm getting a lot of treatment and I'm on the right track for getting back on the field and back with the team."
When asked to compare this to a broken bone in his upper foot two years ago, he said, "That was worse than this injury. This is kind of minor. It set me back (against UAB). ... I'll practice as much as I can."
When asked directly if he would play Saturday, he laughed and said, "I'm not allowed to talk about that."
After practice, UTEP was back in secrecy mode. When asked if Vittatoe practiced, coach Mike Price smiled and replied, "He was here the whole time."
Then, as if to add another level to the puzzle, tailback Donald Buckram sounded as if Vittatoe wouldn't play.
"It's tough without him but you have to go on," he said.
All the injuries and the loss to UAB seem to have galvanized UTEP, which had an excellent Tuesday practice according to Price.
"We bounced right back up," Price said. "We are circling the wagons. This week has to be about us.
He wasn't as excited about Wednesday practice, but did say, "The spirit is good."
Moving up
The temporary loss of injured standout noseguard Germard Reed puts pressure on the rest of the tackles. Former third-team noseguard Yahchaaroah Stuart responded with his first career sack Saturday and will see more playing time.
"He was the heart of our defense," Stuart said. "We all have to step up, I have to step up. You always have to prepare to play."

RAVENA, N.Y. (AP) — A 25-year-old upstate New York man has admitted driving his motorcycle at 170 mph as he tried to get away from police who caught him speeding on the Thruway.
The Times Union of Albany reports that Nikkolaus McCarthy of Charlton will lose his license for 90 days and was sentenced to the 20 days he's already spent in jail.
State police said McCarthy was spotted doing 166 mph in the southbound lanes of Interstate 87 just south of Albany on May 2. A trooper chased him and was able to get the Suzuki's plate number and the rider's description when he slowed in traffic.
But McCarthy sped off again and was clocked at 170 mph before being caught in New Paltz.
He pleaded guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor reckless driving.

$1000 bounty out on those behind tyre-slashings at monster trucks event
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- July 20, 2014
A $1000 BOUNTY has been issued for the identities of heartless crims who slashed the tyres of cars parked at the Townsville Showgrounds on Saturday night.
At least eight families returned to their cars after watching a monster truck show to find their tyres ruined.
Townsville Show Society general manager Chris Condon has vowed to catch the culprits and is offering a $1000 reward for their names.
"We need to find the grubs who did this," he said.
"I want to catch the culprits and there is someone out there who must know something. We need to name and shame these people."
Police confirmed they are investigating several complaints of tyre slashing and were yesterday reviewing security camera footage.
Andrew Cole had all four his car tyres slashed after driving from Ayr to watch the monster truck show.
The damage meant he was stranded in Townsville and had to have his car towed.
Mr Cole said he did not realise the tyres were slashed until a security guard pointed out the damage.
"We went to start the car and security said 'you can't go anywhere'," he said.
"I was pretty upset and I can just imagine how the other people who had their tyres slashed are feeling.
"You pay a lot of money to go and then to come out and see that – it just ruined our whole weekend."
Mr Cole said he was now facing a bill of more than $1000 for four new tyres and the towing fee.
Australian Monster Truck Driver Association organiser Clive Featherby said the criminals managed to slash tyres despite a heavy security presence.
"There were about 25 security guards on," he said.
"It's just nasty when you go out and you get these grubby people coming into the showgrounds.
"It's a horrible thing to do and the people responsible are just rotten."
Mr Featherby said despite pre-sale tickets being poor, he was overwhelmed with the crowd and organisers had to turn people away.
He said about 5000 people attended and he was hoping to come back next year.
"The place was at capacity and we had several thousand outside the ground who couldn't get in," Mr Featherby said.
"When you see mums and dads with kids you really don't like turning them away but we did try and encourage people to pre-book.
"It was still a good night and everyone crammed in and cheered up and there was a really good atmosphere."
The night was not without its thrills and spills, with $60,000 worth of damage to the trucks.
In the freestyle event, Outback Thunder came within inches of tipping over after landing a jump, sending the crowd ballistic.
Big Foot, driven by Rick Long, won the air wheelie category while the monster truck racing event proved to be a crowd favourite.

Yer great bloody night will never forget! 4 slashed tyres, panel damage to my car, towing fee of $300 entry fee $110 for my family. Than the inconvenience of it all being stranded with my 3 yr old 50km from home.
joe of tsv Posted at 1:25 PM July 21, 2014
It is the law to have a certain number of security per person. 25 doesn't sound legal for 5000 people.

This is why the Burdekin people won't come to Townsville. I work with lots of them and they won't come north because of things like this

Where Does Your Drinking Water Come From?
Warm-up: Do You Know Where Your Tap Water Comes From?
1. Ask your students if they know where the water comes from when they turn on the tap at school or at home.
2. After hearing their ideas, tell them that in this lesson they will be learning exactly where the water comes from that they use to drink, shower, cook, water plants and lawns, and to do laundry. Then, ask your students if they think it is important for people to know the source of their water. Explain that this is a question that you want them to think about as they go through the lesson. After the final activity, you will ask them to respond to this question.
Activity One: Sources of Drinking Water
1. Pass out copies of Reproducible #1 – Sources of Drinking Water. Ask students to read the text, examine the diagrams, and answer the questions. They can work individually or in small groups. Small groups will allow students to work together and to share ideas, especially for the last three questions.
2. When finished, use Reproducible #2 – Sources of Drinking Water ANSWER KEY to review the answers as a class, being sure that students know the difference between ground and surface sources of water.
3. Emphasize that all of the substances that people wash down drains, leave on streets to be washed away in storms, or discharge through pipes end up in the very water that we drink and use.
Activity Two: Preparation for a Fieldtrip to Your Local Water Treatment Facility
This activity focuses on preparation for a class fieldtrip to a water treatment plant, an interview with a water treatment facility worker, and/or student research of water treatment facilities and other related issues.
Note: If this trip is not possible for your class, the fieldtrip can be substituted with an interview with someone at your local water treatment plant via email, phone, skype, or other communication. Otherwise, students may conduct a thorough examination of online resources such as Water Science for Schools, by the U.S. Geological Survey, found at http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/wwvisit.html and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Ground Water and Drinking Water, found at http://www.epa.gov/ogwdw000/index.html. In place of interview questions, your students will be using Reproducible #5 – Water Treatment Facility Research to come up with questions they would like to answer during Activity Three (Alternate): Researching Your Water Treatment Facility.
1. Explain to your students that they will be taking a fieldtrip to and/or researching their local water treatment facility (or studying the inner workings of a water treatment plant). This facility is responsible for obtaining fresh water, removing contaminants, meeting drinking water standards, and getting the water to homes and businesses. As the students visit the facility, speak with a plant representative, and/or conduct research, they will have an opportunity to ask questions. Let them know you would like them to prepare a set of questions beforehand.
2. Pass out copies of Reproducible #3 – Preparation for the Water Treatment Facility Fieldtrip or Reproducible #5 – Preparation for Water Treatment Facility Research. Either as a homework assignment or in small groups during class, ask students to use the worksheet to develop and record questions they would like to ask when they visit the water treatment center, conduct their interview and/or perform research. Have them keep in mind that in an interview, questions that require specific details are often better than questions that elicit very general responses.
3. Use Reproducible #4 – Preparation for the Water Treatment Facility Fieldtrip/Interview – Teacher Guide or Reproducible #6 – Preparation for Water Treatment Facility Research – Teacher Guide to help elicit possible interview questions or research topics from the students.
4. As a class, discuss their ideas and produce a list of questions for the fieldtrip, interview and/or research. Have the class prioritize the questions in case there is not enough time to get answers to all of them.
Activity Three: Take a Fieldtrip to Your Local Water Treatment Facility
This activity focuses on preparation for a class fieldtrip to a water treatment plant.If this trip is not possible for your class, the fieldtrip can be substituted with an interview with someone at your local water treatment plant via email, phone, skype, or other communication.
1. Prepare your class for the fieldtrip. Tell students that many people do not think about where their water comes from and what it takes to get clean water to their homes. They simply turn on the tap and, like magic, the water appears! After this visit, students will be able to share what they learn with others.
2. Explain to students the expectations for their behavior and review any security requirements that may have been provided by your facility contact. Make sure to provide adequate timing and account for any necessary permission forms.
3. Revisit student-developed research topics from Reproducible #3 – Preparation for Water Treatment Facility Fieldtrip/Interview. Organize and prepare students so they know who will ask questions, and who will take notes or photographs, if allowed. (It may be that your class is allowed to take photos of some parts of the process, but not others. Remind students that they should always ask for permission to take a photo before doing so.)
4.Let students know that they will be sharing this information with others, so they should focus on information relevant to that audience, as well as solutions or actions they can take.
5. On the fieldtrip, be sure to get a contact name and address so a thank you note can be sent. You may also want to ask if there is an email address to which students could ask any additional questions that are raised once they get back to school.
Activity Three (Alternate): Researching Your Water Treatment Facility
If the fieldtrip or interview is not possible for your class, students may instead conduct a thorough examination of online resources to learn about their local watershed, water treatment facility, and other information.
1. Revisit student-developed research topics from Reproducible #5 – Water Treatment Facility Research. Students should conduct research based on the questions they prepared ahead of time.
2. Have students visit websites such as:
· "Ground Water & Drinking Water FAQs," U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, http://www.epa.gov/ogwdw000/faq/faq.html#source.
- This is a great place to start for answering Frequently Asked Questions on groundwater and drinking water. For more information on your drinking water you can also visit their question and answer database on this site or call the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
· Water Science for Schools, U.S. Geological Survey, http://ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/wwvisit.html.
- This site includes a step-by-step guide describing what happens at each stage of the water treatment process and how pollutants are removed to help keep our waterways clean.
· "Local Drinking Water Information," U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, http://www.epa.gov/safewater/dwinfo/index.html.
- This site allows you to find data and contact information for your state drinking water program.
· "Standards and Risk Management," Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, http://www.epa.gov/ogwdw000/standards.html.
- Here you can find information on contamination and regulation of drinking water.
· Watershed Assessment, Tracking & Environmental Results, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, http://www.epa.gov/waters/.
- This site unites water quality information from several independent and unconnected databases.
- Let students know that they will be sharing this information with others, so they should focus on information relevant to that audience, as well as solutions or actions they can take.
Activity Four: Teach Others What You Learned
1. Explain to your students that many people do not know the source of their tap water, what is done to treat it, and how much energy it takes to deliver it to their homes and businesses. You would like them to share what they have learned with others, with the goal of educating others and demonstrating specific actions they can take to make their actions more sustainable.
2. Engage your class in a discussion about the audience they would like to address. This could include another class or grade, the school community, parents, the larger community or another scho
3. Once the audience is selected, decide what specific information would be most important to share with that audience. What should they learn that they probably do not know? What actions can they take that will actually have an impact? You could provide these questions as a homework assignment and before following up with a class discussion. List the student ideas on the board and have the class prioritize the information that should be shared.
4. Be sure students focus on presenting information as well as actions, 'how-to's or suggestions for their audience to use this new information constructively. For example, if students discovered that the most common form of solid pollution in their watershed is plastic bags, they can encourage their audience to use reusable shopping bags. If students discovered that there is a water shortage in their area, they can instruct the audience on relevant water conservation practices.
5. Discuss the best media for addressing this information with this audience. For example, creating a presentation or video might be most effective when showing to other classes or to the whole school during an assembly. A podcast or website might help to reach a different audience. Exhibit stations with students answering questions and a class oral presentation might be best for a parent audience that comes to school for the presentation. A well-designed pamphlet might work best to deliver the message to parents and community members at home. Allow students to discuss their ideas and rationale, and work toward a class decision.
6. Students should work in small groups to create their presentation or display. Each group could address a different audience.
7. Provide class time to help students get organized and explain the timeline and expectations of the project. If the class is working in groups, allow time for rehearsals or class presentations, having students critique each other's work before the final presentation or publication.
Wrap Up: Celebrate the Class Project and Share their Experiences
1. Once the class's presentation project(s) are completed, find a simple way to celebrate and acknowledge the work of the students. (Perhaps juice and snacks could be provided.)
2. Gather in a circle to allow students to share their experiences. Discuss as a class or have each group could address these questions.
- If there was one single class project, what went well?
- What would they do to improve their project and its impact if they were to do it again? Why or why not?
- Finally, ask students to share the following:
· What they learned that had the most impact on them and why?
· What they learned that most surprised them?
· What solutions did they learn about that would have the biggest impact on water and energy issues in the area?
· What actions they are willing to take in their own lives to address what they have learned?
3. Consider writing a class pledge about sustainable actions and behaviors students (and teachers) will commit to based on their new knowledge.
Extension: Tap Water versus Bottled Water?
1. Based on their new knowledge about the water in their area, ask students to share their opinions of the safety and cleanliness of tap water. Have them consider which water they consider safer to drink – tap water or bottled water – and why. Have them consider what they learned on their fieldtrip about how their water is cleaned and regulated. Do these same standards apply to bottled water? Students could do additional research on the internet to further inform their position. Ask each student to explain their opinion and why verbally or in writing. Consider holding a class debate so they can share their views with their classmates.
2. Depending on the audience and success of the students' presentation projects, consider extending the message out to the community to raise awareness and involvement in the issue of water quality. Create Public Service Announcements, flyers, posters, etc. Organize a service project committed to a water-related issue such as watershed clean-ups or storm drain marking.
In this lesson, students learned about various sources of drinking water. Through a fieldtrip to a local water treatment facility or online research, they learned where their tap water comes from, how it is treated, and how much energy is used to treat and transport it to their homes. Finally, students shared what they learned with a new audience, including suggestions about what people can do to make the use of water and energy more sustainable.

The Cooperativa de Caficultores del Sur del Tolima (CAFISUR) is a cooperative from the Tolima coffee-growing region located in the central part of the Colombian Andes. The cooperative exports their exceptionally high-quality coffee through EXPOCAFE, one of the country's main coffee exporters. Through EXPOCAFE, Fair Trade has helped coffee cooperatives like CAFISUR receive stable and fair prices and benefit from their contributions to social development programs, especially when the coffee market suffers worrisome lows. Fair Trade premiums have enabled CAFISUR to establish their own social and productive programs as well. Members of the General Assembly are trying to work with local government organizations and international NGOs to co-finance and implement a new waste-management infrastructure for their coffee production and build basic sanitation systems for workers' homes. CAFISUR became Fair Trade certified in 2006.

Even White People Can't Destroy Hip Hop
"There's a recent strain of rap music that has the purists up in arms just as much, if not more, than Macklemore does. Influenced by experimentalists like Kanye West and Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane, a new wave of artists from Chicago and Atlanta have been pushing rap into aesthetic spaces it has never been before. Often using Autotune to warp their voices in ways traditional rappers never could, they bleed one word into the next, blurring the line between rapping and singing. Folks like Future, Chief Keef, Z Money, Rich Homie Quan, Young Thug—these guys puts far more focus on melodic vocal delivery, and far less on word-by-word lyricism, than any rappers the genre has ever countenanced. Is the music they're making still hip-hop? For now, I'd say so. But who knows?"

General labourers provide businesses throughout Canada with permanent or temporary workers who perform needed work that requires a low level of training but requires common sense, dependability and good work ethic.
Work realities:
General labourers often work in a shop, warehouse, dock, farm, field, or similar environment, either doing a specific job or filling in where needed. Typical duties require workers to wear steel-toe work boots and other protective garments. They should be able to follow instructions, be physically fit, be able to lift 10, 25, or 50 pounds, (depending on the job), and work on their feet for most of the shift.
Reporting to:
The General labourer usually reports to a foreman or supervisor.
Duties are varied and may include activities that assist other departments and personnel, such as cleaning, sweeping mopping, assembling, lifting, moving, and offering general assistance. Some general labourers on farms may pick crops and assist in other agricultural tasks.
Future possibilities:
General labourers may advance to supervisory positions, be trained on a wide range of equipment, and move on to other positions as they acquire training and experience.
A General Labourer position may be a good place to start in the job market or become a satisfying permanent career. Workers who are flexible, willing to work hard and attentive to their duties are highly valued on the job site.
Many General Labourer positions require a high school education or less. Some positions may require forklift or driving training or experience.
Some companies may require experience in general labour, familiarity with industry-specific tools, experience driving a piece of equipment, or in performing a specific task.
Skills and Certifications:
Many companies prefer workers with proper commercial drivers' licenses or other certifications.
Countless Canadian companies depend on general labourers to meet their everyday needs, and Randstad has openings for entry level positions as well as jobs that require specific skills and experience.

Got A Mobile Phone? Soon You Might Be Able To Earn Money As A Doctor
You watch a lot of House, right? But do people in Africa? A new trend—the outsourcing of very basic medical work to people in the developing world—saves money on health care and creates a new source of income.
Last year, a group of researchers led by a computer scientist at the University of Rochester put out a brilliant app called VizWiz with the very simple, but very powerful, idea of using what's called "microwork" to help people with vision impairment navigate the sort of everyday visual questions that most of us don't even notice. The app works like this: A user takes a picture of something—a piece of currency, say—with their phone and asks a question, like "How much is this bill worth?" In near real-time, the photo and question get routed through Amazon's Mechanical Turk, or through a user's Facebook network, to find out their bill is worth $10.
The app represents an example of the emerging category of microwork, where complex informational questions are broken down into discrete tasks that require human intelligence and distributed to individuals who perform those tasks for small payments of just a few cents. While medical microwork is almost unheard of outside of a handful of examples like VizWiz, it represents a kind of work that could become increasingly important over the next few years as both a tool to improve health and as a development strategy.
In fact, microwork is already being explored as a development strategy. For example, the social enterprise Samasource partners with large-scale corporate customers to distribute much smaller microtasks to workers in six countries, generating work for more than 2,000 people since its 2008 launch.
Similarly, the World Bank released a report that identified microwork as one of a handful of emerging categories of jobs that anyone with a mobile phone, regardless of other circumstances, could do to make a living. The report estimated that while the current global marketplace for microwork is in the neighborhood of "double-digit millions," a very rough calculation estimates "the microwork market could be worth several billion dollars within the next five years." The World Bank has since partnered with Nokia to launch a global contest to generate new ideas into the kinds of microwork that people could do with just a smartphone, which point toward some of the ways that microwork could advance global health and well-being.
One group suggested that when someone is sick in a rural village, they could text that they needed a specific medicine, and microworkers could look through pharmacy supplies to see if the medicine is in stock—a pilot they've been running with professional staff, but which could scale with microwork. The contest's first winners had an even more ambitious vision for medical microwork. They proposed that interpreting results of some basic medical tests, such as digital X-rays, could be distributed to groups of paraprofessionals trained not as doctors but just to analyze these kinds of exams, which would not only expand access to advanced medical diagnostics, but simultaneously increase the supply of qualified health workers.
Stepping back from these examples, it's easy to see all sorts of potential benefits to this kind of distributed medicine. In developed countries like the United States, medical microwork offers an opportunity to cut costs, while in the developing world, it represents a means to fill basic medical needs.
The broader point is that finding ways to distribute basic health tasks—from helping people with disabilities with everyday activities to interpreting medical tests—doesn't just represent a significant market opportunity. It represents a market opportunity that has the potential to dramatically improve the health and well-being of people all over the world.

Outsourcing to a country with a stable internet infrastructure is more likely. For instance, students in the US and South Korea looking for spending money, or cynically enough, a large office space in India or China where instead of answering tech support calls, people sit with cell phones doing microwork. That'll outcompete trying to crowdsource-for-hire.

Michael Milken of the only 11-year old Knowledge Universe (the overseer of the K-12 distance learning organization) is looking to make his universe more of a multiverse.
Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles, California, 21 March 2007, Milken, partners seeking investors
Milken, his brother Lowell and Steven Green, former U.S. ambassador to Singapore, are principals in the partnership, which "decided to diversify its ownership by a private offering to a few highly sophisticated international institutional investors," spokesman Geoffrey Moore said.
Consultant Stan Lepeak estimates that fewer than 10% of U.S. schoolchildren are enrolled in private-sector programs, but he said the prospects were still promising.
"It seems there is money to be made there," he said. "People realize the value of education and are willing to spend money on it."
The homeschooler interest in business news is not so much that another distance-learning choice is offered, the interest is in the way that it is offered, and the rationale for doing so.
Home Education Magazine, November-December 2002, How William Bennett's Public E-Schools Affect Homeschooling
Bennett: We [K-12 Inc.] found opposition from both sides of the political spectrum. Some of the homeschooling people have opposed us.
Standriff: Oh really, I would think this would be right in line with their thinking.
Bennett: Well it should be. Frankly, I'm disappointed. I've been defending homeschoolers for twenty years. But the principle I'm defending, Mark, is school choice, parental choice. The objection they have is that it shouldn't be involved in public funding, at all. It shouldn't be involved with government schools, as they say. But, I'm not prepared to relinquish $400 billion and just say, well never mind, this is not money that I'm entitled to. Parents are paying that money in taxes, they should have an option within the public school system that gives them a chance to educate their children at home, but be publicly accountable as all public schools should be.
So that's where the "I pay taxes, so I should benefit" meme originated. Funny how the, "I should be accountable to public officials," part hasn't developed the same amount of popularity as the, "I should benefit," part.

Key proof that Deodato kept on making great records after leaving CTI Records – and in a way, the kind of set that allowed him a bit more freedom to grow than some of his contemporaries! The vibe here is a bit tighter than before, but in a way that makes many numbers even funkier – played by small combos on all tunes, with players that include Hubert Laws, Steve Gadd, John Tropea, and other early 70s fusion heavyweights – all jamming with Deodato's great work on electric piano and clavinet! There's a great variety of material here, but as usual with D, even familiar tunes get really transformed – in this case into soulful fusion numbers with a sound that we never would have expected! Titles include "Caravan", "Funk Yourself", "Crabwalk", "First Cuckoo", and versions of Marcos Valle's "Adam's Hotel" and Led Zep's "Black Dog"! © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

I would consider this an 'engineered rumour' so Shell can sell out of its 23% stake as it offerred it to BHP last yr and BHP declined. Also Southern Cross Equities director Charlie 'El Toro' Aitken has form for bolstering a stock as a large player is quietly selling down - ie Aust Future Fund sold down its shares as 'El Toro' told all and sundry it would go from $3.00 to $3.20. It actually went down to $2.65 and is still about $2.80. Whether 'El Toro' is doing it deliberately or is simply being fed the rumour due to his perma-bullishness is unknown by this correspondent.
FYI -Aust Future Fund sold down its shares in the Australian Telco, TELSTRA.

Let's Go Wild For Wildlife
13 May 2014, By Ashley Van Heerden, Tunza Youth Advisor for Africa
This was the poignant call to action by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on World Wildlife Day. The reality is that wildlife is under threat and it up to us to protect it. The illegal wildlife trade, a billion dollar industry which today is the fifth largest illicit trade in the world, is responsible for a surge in the heinous slaughter of some of nature's most majestic species. The stark reality of dwindling populations of some of the most spectacular species of flora and fauna is a reality that calls for swift action.
Of all species being edged closer to extinction, it is the white rhino that has captured my attention most. In South Africa, a country that is home to 73% of the world's wild rhinos, a rhino is illegally slaughtered every 11 hours. It is sad that the plight of the rhino is not unique; it is an archetype for countless endangered species on the brink of extinction, as a result of greed induced human action, and in many cases inhumane action. It was in 1973 under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) that states formally recognised "that wild fauna and flora in their many beautiful and varied forms are an irreplaceable part of the natural systems of the earth which must be protected for this and the generations to come". This recognition rings true now more than ever, as more species become critically endangered.
With the largest youth population to ever have existed, as young people we must take over the mantle, and accept responsibility for the protection of not only vulnerable, but all wildlife. It is incumbent upon our generation to galvanize a critical mass that will hold leaders to account for their slow action in combatting wildlife crime, and also hold our fellow citizens to account. We must call for increased punitive measures for perpetrators, and increased investment in the protection of our wildlife.
History will judge us harshly if we don't act in defense of wildlife now. It is in the run up to the first session of the United Nations Environment Assembly, that we must go wild for wildlife, by urging our leaders to act decisively in combatting wildlife crimes.comments powered by Disqus

It's no accident that the cheerful, primary-colored letters spelling out Fullerton Museum Center's new show, "Gotta Have It, Too: Collecting in the Internet Age," are the exact same hue and type font as the eBay logo.
This show is all about eBay, "the world's online marketplace." Without eBay, this show—a sequel—wouldn't exist. It's built on the fact that today anyone with a little money and even less time can hit eBay and score a genuine shrunken head, a toaster from the 1939 World's Fair, or a Union uniform from the Civil War.
Ebay has given everyone's collection a shot in the arm—with a huge vintage syringe—and a whole passel of our assemblages are here. Okay, so there's no shrunken heads, but the Fullerton folk have hauled in just about every other kind of collection—more than 20, by my count.
Around 20 is when my eyes started to glaze, confronted by the Mego man "Fonzie" action figure, old-timey hamburger presses, the vintage anti-Hitler skunk with Hitler's head (Stink Heil), paint-by-numbers paintings, the Jesus vs. Jeffrey Dahmer comic book with the Son of God getting his bell rung.
I couldn't read any farther 'cause the comic book was under glass amidst others of its brethren, but I'm guessing the judges gave it to Jesus on decision.
There's something for everybody here: vintage flashlight batteries for me (cool names like Flying Bomb and Atomic Power); ladies' antique hats for you. There are real and faux Titanic memorabilia (the faux from the J. Peterman Co.), and a vast collection of Thomas the Tank Engine toys on loan from Fullerton fourth grader Tyler Appel. What will he play with until this show ends?
Thomas the Tank Engine is all yours until then. It's free, and you don't have to dust it—and Tyler will just have to read a book already!"Gotta Have It, Too: Collecting in the Internet Age" at Fullerton Museum Center, 301 N. Pomona Ave., Fullerton, (714) 738-6545. Open Tues.-Wed. & Fri.-Sun., noon-4 p.m.; Thurs., noon-8 p.m. Through Aug. 8. $1-$4.

Assignment: You have been given the copy of a page from an Old English manuscript. Discover as much as you can about what's on the page, and then in a three-page report (i.e., 900-1200 words) tell me a) what you've discovered, b) how you discovered it, and 3) what the exercise has taught you about Old English language and/or literature. In all phases of the report, be specific and detailed, providing examples where appropriate.
A. What you've discovered: As far as you are able, transcribe the Old English text, and, as far as you are able, provide a translation. Also, as far as you are able, place the page in its larger context. Can you determine what it is a part of? What, briefly, can you say about the work it comes from?
B. How you discovered it: What were the methods you used to determine what is on the page? How were you able to read the letters, to pick out words, to make sense of what was on the page? What was the process you subsequently followed to place the page in a larger context? What, if any, shortcuts did you use to make your determinations?
C. What the exercise has taught you about Old English: How does the Old English in modern editions and textbooks differ from the Old English as originally written in the manuscripts? What else have you learned along the way?
Due Date: The beginning of class on Thursday, April 24.
Format: The submitted copy must be typed, double-spaced, on 8 1/2" x 11" typing paper. Margins for text should be approximately 1" on all sides. A cover sheet will not be necessary. Unless the sheets of the paper are fastened with a staple or paper clip in the top left-hand corner, one-third of a letter grade will be deducted from the overall paper grade. Do not put your completed paper in a folder or plastic cover, and do not include fly sheets (i.e. sheets with nothing on them).
Citations: Use the MLA (Modern Language Association) parenthetic documentation style for citations instead of endnotes or footnotes. Include a Works Cited sheet at the end of your paper. Details concerning MLA style can be found in The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (1984 or later) or in post-1985 handbooks of writing styleor by clicking here.
Late Papers: One letter grade will be deducted for each class meeting that the paper is late.
Failure to document sources properly will definitely hurt your grade and could
result in a grade of F for the course. See
Towson's Student
Academic Integrity Policy.

Play time as Little Treasure's pre-school gets new playhouse
Posted: June 11, 2014|
Adventurers have been given new places to explore with the donation of a new playhouse.
Children at Little Treasure's pre-school, Mildenhall, have had weeks of fun since a £400 donation paid for new equipment for their playtime.
The money was given to the school by the Arnold Page Hi 12 Club 298, which is for former servicemen from bases in Lakenheath and Mildenhall.
The school decided to buy the equipment for the Great Adventurers room, which is for children aged between 2-and-a-half and 4.
Denise Reed, manager, said: "The children absolutely love it."
The school was chosen as one of the club's three charities for last year.

Home / Maeve Gillies
MAEVE GILLIES is a multi-award-winning artist and designer who grew up in Edinburgh, Scotland, in a family of nationally-acclaimed writers, musicians, academics and politicians. Her mother is Valerie Gillies, one of Scotland's best loved poets. Her father is the renowned Celtic scholar William Gillies, Professor Emeritus of Edinburgh University. Her aunt is the acclaimed Gaelic singer Anne Lorne Gillies, and her great grandfather William Gillies was a founder of the Scottish National Party in 1920.
Inspired by this rich heritage and the spectacular Scottish landscape, Maeve demonstrated considerable artistic and musical ability from an early age. She was six times champion at Scotland's annual music awards, the National Mod, for her performance on the clarsach - the Scottish harp - one of the oldest instruments in Celtic history.
Maeve's passion for jewelry began by chance at age 15, when trying out goldsmithing with a jeweler friend. She went on to complete a traditional training, receiving two degrees in jewelry and silversmithing - firstly from the Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland, then a Masters' Degree from the prestigious Royal College of Art in London. After working across Europe, Australia and Asia in jewelry design, retail and production consultancy, Maeve spent three years as head of design for Domino in England. Domino are the largest Platinum jewelry manufacturer in Europe, supplying 35,000 rings to 5000 customers in 30 countries each year.
Maeve went on to co-launch MaeVona, the award-winning New York City-based luxury brand supplying Maeve's unique Celtic-inspired bridal jewelry to high-end retailers across North America. MaeVona quickly gained international acclaim, with a dedicated customer following for Maeve's market-leading, innovative bridal designs.
Maeve has received numerous awards for her jewelry, including three from the Royal Society for the Arts in London, four from the American JCK Jewelers Choice Awards, plus the prestigious Town & Country COUTURE Award in Las Vegas, USA.
In 2010, Maeve was invited to collaborate with Highland Park Distillery in Orkney, Scotland, to create a Limited Edition bottle for their 50yo whisky. This was launched in Harrods, London to instant international acclaim, and in March 2012 it received the prestigious double title of WORLD'S TOP DESIGN and BEST LIMITED EDITION at the inaugural World Whiskies Design Awards in London.
In 2011, Maeve assisted Macallan Distillery on an exclusive Lalique bottling for their 60yo whisky, creating a heritage metal copper top utilizing reclaimed copper from decommissioned Macallan stills.
In 2012, Maeve created a one-off whisky bottle for a Scottish charity auction in collaboration with Ardbeg distillery, Dr Bill Lumsden (Head of Distilling at Glenmorangie) and renowned Scotch expert Charles MacLean, star of the 2011 Cannes award-winning Ken Loach movie, The Angels' Share. Maeve named the bottle AOIBHINN, meaning 'joyful' in Scottish Gaelic, and incorporated ancient silversmithing techniques, carved stones from the island of Iona in Scotland, and a rare 1974 single cask Ardbeg whisky,
As an experienced businesswoman, Maeve is also a member of the prestigious GlobalScot network, a group of international business ambassadors for Scotland appointed to advise Scottish companies on global growth and success. Maeve's passion to combine commercial success with creative originality continues in exciting new projects and collaborations, with heirloom quality craftsmanship and Celtic heritage at the heart.

As always, much to discuss from the week's news; we have a familiar theme this week: sneakers – with an interesting collaboration between Nike SB and artist Goeff McFetridge, plus the unique Black Cat, Good Luck-Bad Luck pack, which includes some highly unique Footscape Woven models, two of which are collaborations with Boston boutique Bodega. Nike also released the Spring 2011 collection from the Jun Takahashi-designed Gyakusou line, which is as amazing as the first one from last Fall. In a Massachusetts-centric project, Boston-based Concepts got together with New Balance to release a nautical-themed version of the 999, along with a few sailing inspired accessories; we also got release info about the Converse x Givenchy shoe this week, which is just the latest in a series of collaborations with couture fashion houses. Rounding out the sneaker news, we offered a recap of SneakerCon DC this week as well, in a video put together by adidas Originals. Supreme released a collection of shirts this week, which as always, merits at least a mention (though the product wasn't as quite as quick to sell as some releases). Staying with the New York theme, Freshness recapped the opening event for the new flagship Oakley store in Times Square. And finally, this week brought episode two in The LeBrons, the animated series created in part by LeBron James. Check out the details of all of these stories after the jump.
Nike SB x Geoff McFetridge Paper Dunk High For MOCA
Nike SB, Geoff McFetridge, and the Museum of Contemporary Art are the main contributors to an extremely interesting story this week; as part of a major exhibit on street art, MOCA is hosting a skatepark/installation piece created by skateboard legend Lance Mountain and artist Geoff McFetridge, which will get skated by the Nike SB team on a weekly basis. The project also includes an extremely limited collection of SB Dunk Highs, each of which is made from pieces of Geoff McFetridge's artwork, and which will be auctioned at MOCA on May 26th.

Nike Footscape Black Cat, Good Luck-Bad Luck Pack
The Nike Footscape can be a fairly complex shoe, and the Black Cat, Good Luck-Bad Luck Pack released this week shows what an interesting creative canvas the shoe can be. Comprised of three shoes – two of which are collaborations with BODEGA – the pack has a desert color palette, mixes in a number of materials for the upper, with various sole colors, and a cat's eye on the tongue.

Nike Sportswear X UNDERCOVER Gyakusou Spring/Summer 2011 Collection
Jun Takahashi's Gyakusou first collection for Nike Sportswear landed with a huge impact last fall. This week sees the release of the Spring 2011 Gyakusou collection, which is just as technically forward thinking, and builds on the collection's first season. We have both a look at the pieces, and a behind the scenes video, for a comprehensive look at what Takahashi is doing for Sportswear.

New Balance 999 by CONCEPTS
Concepts and New Balance tapped into their shared Massachusetts roots for their collaboration on this 999. The shoe itself features a number of nautical influences, in the color palette and in the regatta flags on the tongue. And the collaboration also features a number of accessories, including a traditional rope bracelet, keychain, and Ray-Ban Wayfarers.
