So What Do You Do, Kate Betts?
As New York's Fashion Week gets rolling, star editor Kate Betts talks about her new project, Time Style & Design.- September 16, 2003
Kate Betts has been remarkably successful: She was Fairchild's Paris bureau chief by 27, Anna Wintour's protege at Vogue, and then editor of Harper's Bazaar at 35—the youngest editor ever to take over a fashion magazine. But she's also faced remarkably intense scrutiny, even for the catty world of fashion glossies. She was called a traitor when she left Vogue, and at Bazaar she had to fill the shoes of beloved editor Liz Tilberis, who'd died months earlier. Her redesign was widely criticized, newsstand sales slipped (they'd been declining even before Betts took over), and she was fired in 2001.
But if there's anything the magazine industry likes better than a spectacular failure, it's a spectacular comeback, and Betts is ready to make hers. After a year and a half spent freelancing for the New York Times "Style" section, she just bowed her first issue of Time magazine's new, biannual Style & Design supplement (one previous issue was published in February). She spoke to mediabistro.com last week about starting from the bottom, surviving the spotlight, and coming out on top.
Birthdate: March 8, 1964
Hometown: New York City
First section of the Sunday Times: "I'm embarrassed to admit it's the real-estate section."
You've taken over an established magazine and now you're essentially rolling out a startup. How are the pressures different?
The pressure of Bazaar was, obviously, that venue existed for so long, in such a high-profile way, under Liz Tilberis before I got there, and this magazine didn't really have that high of a profile or that strong of a footing in this market. They'd only done one issue in the U.S. before I did this one. And the pressure was to create something that was going to be interesting to the Time reader and also to the fashion industry, two very different audiences.
I wanted to give the Time reader an inside look at fashion but not make it too obscure and too over-the-top or detailed in a way that wouldn't reach them. And, to be honest, that's always been my interest in fashion—I've always been interested in more of a journalistic approach, even when I was at Vogue. When I started writing for the "Style" section, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who actually read the section. So it turned me on to writing for a much larger audience than I was used to. The excitement and pressure of this job is to speak to millions and millions of readers, as opposed to people who were just looking for fashion information.
You say you want Style & Design to appeal to the Time reader and also the fashion industry. What about the readers of fashion magazines?
Well that, to me, is the fashion industry, or an extension of it. When I say "the fashion industry," I mean the industry but also people who are looking for fashion information and who already have a lot of fashion education.
What was it like going from writing for the Times as a freelancer to starting something practically from scratch?
I had been working at Time Inc. full-time since January, so I wasn't like, getting out of my pajamas for the first time in two years. Almost! But I had to put together a little team. I brought the art director, Terry Koppel, with me, and I brought Andrea Ferronato, who I'd worked with at Vogue, as the photo editor. So we had that capsule team, and we had some great people here at Time who were assigned to help us move the issue through the system, because the system here is really gigantic and different. The most exciting thing for me, as a writer, was being able to use some of the writers at Time who I love, like Richard Lacayo and Michele Orecklin and Joel Stein, and to draw on the global bureaus. No other magazine that I've worked for has that kind of resource.
Are there other ways that the culture at Time is different from those at Vogue and Bazaar?
There is a great camaraderie here that I've never experienced. At fashion magazines, there's a very distinct kind of ambience. Everyone who works here is, first of all, incredibly smart, which was sort of a shock. And, second of all, they're all really helpful, and you do get the feeling that everyone's working together toward the same goal—it's not like this sort of backbiting thing. It creates a really nice can-do spirit, and Time staffers have worked together on much bigger and more important projects, and pulled together as a team in ways that are incredibly impressive.
Do you have a lot of give and take with the editors of Time, or does Style & Design have its own team?
There is a lot of give and take. All the editors here have been extremely helpful. The thing about the writers here is that they're pulled onto all different stories at any time of day, so it's hard to get their time. But the people that did end up writing for the issue were incredibly quick and professional about it.
Style & Design comes out twice a year. Will it occupy you full time, or will you be doing other work?
I've also been writing for the weekly edition of Time. At first I just did little trend things in the "Personal Time" section, and this week I have a story about Sofia Coppola in the "Arts & Movies" section, and I'm working on a few other things. We're thinking about doing more frequency for Time Style & Design—we're meeting on that right now.
One thing I found interesting about Style & Design was its meta approach: You're covering the fashion magazines in a way you would never see elsewhere—you'd never read in Vogue about the photographer who shoots covers for Bazaar.
Yeah, it's an interesting place. That is something we discovered as we were going along. I've always worked at either Vogue or Bazaar, so I didn't really think about being in the middle or above those two. So it suddenly dawned on us that we were in the position to cover everyone.
Had you maintained a lot of your connections at those magazines, or did you have to go back and rebuild bridges?
I'd been in touch with a lot of the people I worked with at Bazaar, and some of them contributed to this issue. Mostly I just had to get back into the business. I was out of it for a year and a half, and I hadn't gone to that many shows. I went to the menswear shows for the first time in Milan in June, and I went to the couture shows.
You know, it doesn't change that much, the fashion business. It's a business predicated on change, but the people in the business don't really change. So everybody was pretty much in the same place as when I left. And I'd kept in touch with a few people just from writing for the "Style" section. It's weird—I've always felt like an outsider inside the business, and so I've always taken that approach to covering it.
From your bio, it seems like you never had to slave away at an entry-level job.
No, no, no, no, no—let me just disqualify that right away. First of all, when I started at Fairchild in Paris, I was a reporter. I was reporting on the lingerie business and perfume launches—what everybody at Women's Wear Daily has to start off with. That's where you learn about the industry; that's the baptism by fire. You learn about fabrics, you have to cover Premiere Vision, which is the big fabric fair in Paris, and you have to figure out who the perfume nose is at Christian Dior and the difference between the fragrances. You have to learn a lot about the people and processes of each industry within the fashion industry. And that's the best way to learn about fashion.
When I went to Vogue after three years at Women's Wear, I couldn't believe that the market editors didn't know about fabrics. I mean, of course the big editors, Andre Leon Talley or Polly Mellen, they all knew about fashion, but these junior editors, they had no way of learning the way that Women's Wear editors learn: from going to fabric fairs and actually having to know what they're talking about. So that was a great way to learn, and it's definitely starting at the bottom. If they decide they want to cover something at the last minute in Dusseldorf, you have to get on the plane and go to Dusseldorf. It sounds glamorous, but it's this gigantic trade show and everyone speaks German, and there you are: Find a story. But it was really fun too.
And then when I got to Vogue, when I started off, my office was literally a closet. Nobody would talk to me, and I remember sitting in there and crying for the first three months. It was pathetic. But the people there were these giant personalities. Especially at that time, because it was 1991—Carly Cerf de Dudzelle, and Andre, and Candy Pratts Price—it was like the '80s were still going on. And I was writing captions for fashion portfolios and "Vogue's Point of View," that page of writing before the well. So these were not glamorous jobs. But I was lucky because Anna was a great boss in the way that she let me do whatever I wanted. There was always room to create and write and do new things.
You've had amazing success and also endured a tremendous amount of criticism and setbacks. How do you bounce back?
I don't look at it as an amazing career, funnily enough. I look at it like, I've always worked really, really hard. I remember one summer at Vogue, I worked every weekend the whole summer. Covering the collections is a lot of work. I mean yeah, it's really glamorous and you meet Tom Ford and blah blah blah, but you're running around like crazy and reporting and it's a lot of work.
But you've been watched so closely, both as Anna's protege and then taking over Bazaar after Liz Tilberis. What advice would you give others facing adversity in their careers?
Well, it's hard. The Bazaar situation was a very particular confluence of events—following in the footsteps of Liz Tilberis, taking over a magazine that was not doing so well, having a baby three days later, having a large turnover on the staff, and dealing with all that in the spotlight is a lot at once. It was one of those things where it was a job you can't say no to, even though I was nine months pregnant. I think the most important thing in careers, and I think this a lot in my own career now, is you have to do what you want to do. I felt for a long time a tremendous pressure to do things other people wanted me to do, and when you're young, that is probably the case. But you really do have to go with your heart. It's weird, all the criticism and all the tough calls at Bazaar, and getting fired ultimately, those were all hard things to experience, but with hindsight, which is always 20/20, they were great experiences. I don't regret any of it at all. It was an amazing opportunity to learn how to edit a magazine in two years, and get it over with. There are a lot of lessons there, but the thing I always come back to is, if you're doing something you really believe in, you never regret anything you do.

In 2012, after more than 30 years at the helm of Jerry Seiner Dealerships, Jerry Seiner stepped down from his role as president and CEO of the company he'd built from the ground up. He then established himself as chairman of the company and gave the responsibility of president and CEO to his son-in-law, Chris Hemmersmeier. This handover didn't occur overnight, though. Seiner had been grooming Hemmersmeier to take over the family business for more than 20 years.
Seiner began his venture into the retail auto business in 1975 when he purchased a Chevrolet-Buick dealership in Cadillac, Mich. Five years later, he found a 17-acre Chevrolet dealership for sale in Salt Lake City, and after doing some research, moved to Utah to begin growing his company. His dealerships have now grown to include four locations that offer Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, GMC, Kia, Isuzu and Nissan franchises.
While Hemmersmeier was engaged to Seiner's daughter, Sandy, in the late 1970s, he began working for Seiner as a car salesperson in Michigan. Seiner told him if he wanted to take over the company someday, he had to be able to sell cars. In his second month at the dealership, Hemmersmeier became salesperson of the month.
After the Hemmersmeiers got married, they followed Seiner to Utah where Hemmersmeier worked for him in a variety of positions, from salesperson and used car detailer to corporate sales trainer and general manager. A few years ago, Hemmersmeier began to shadow Seiner. During that time he learned how to work as a company leader, financial officer and operating officer.
Hemmersmeier also spent the last decade buying stock in the company and is now the majority owner of Jerry Seiner Dealerships.
Seiner says fortunately in his family, Hemmersmeier was the only one who wanted to be in the car business. "He wanted it and he earned it," Seiner says. "I was fortunate to have one son-in-law who wanted it."
Although the two men have a great relationship—both at work and within their family—they realize that business succession planning isn't always easy, especially when it comes to family. The leadership transition ultimately went smoothly, but Seiner and Hemmersmeier say they did learn a few things about business succession planning and transitioning along the way.

Radishes for Breakfast?
The Appalachian moon was still shining when I went out with a flashlight to harvest fresh mint this morning for my radish salad. Mint, the smell of springtime in the Appalachians, makes me happy even if it is five in the morning.
Today I was a guest at East Kentucky Broadcastings family of stations; doing four appearances before you got to work. We talked about the flavors of spring…ramps, mint, local eggs, sheep cheese, and radishes.
Radishes are one of those vegetables that are underutilized. From the time you throw seeds on the ground until they are ready to harvest….it is under a month. The crisp, clean, peppery taste is something we in Appalachia….in fact we in America seem to only value as a garnish and afterthought.
I love radishes and have chosen several different varieties in this year's spring garden. Really, I had never thought of them as a breakfast food…..but why not? Served with a handful of mint and as a preface to savories this little radish salad will wake your taste buds right up.
I like radish salad for an interesting side dish when the girls come over for lunch too! OH! What about as a little cold fresh salad on a romantic picnic? Talk about your easy picnic recipe!
Radish salad, it's not really a recipe….it's more an idea. Play with the flavors. Expand your palate. Think outside the box. It's spring for crying out loud…live a little!
Salad Recipes
Fresh Radish Salad
Inspired by a variety of sources including Chef Jeremy Ashby
Salad Recipe, Radish Recipe
- 1 bunch of fresh radishes (I used 8 Cherry Belles)
- Juice of one lemon
- 2 Tablespoons Orange Juice
- ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
- ¼ cup of fresh mint, cut into tiny fine ribbons
1. Wash and cut radishes paper thin. (A mandolin makes quick work of this)
2. Add lemon, orange juice and salt. If you are feeling creative, you could zest a little citrus peel for added zing.
3. Stir well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (Not much more than overnight)
4. Add mint just before serving.
If you are doing this for small plates…let's say a Tablespoon a serving you could easily do two dozen mini servings. If this is to be a featured salad my best guess is 4 to 6 servings.

Ha Long Bay
Professor Jack Harris P'02, P'06, of the HWS Anthropology and Sociology department, will lead the tour to Vietnam. Jack has a great passion for Vietnam, its people, its landscapes, and its culture. Among his varied academic experiences abroad, Professor Harris has been Faculty Director of the Vietnam semester abroad program many times, led groups of faculty to Vietnam several times, and will lead the student semester program again in Fall 2012. He has coordinated faculty members to lead the abroad program and, with their help, has developed it into a successful joint program with Union College. Taking this interest to the classroom, Harris teaches "Sociology of Vietnam: Conflict, Colonialism and Catharsis," which studies Vietnamese history, culture and social relations. Professor Harris has served as presenter and respondent at the International Conference on Vietnamese Studies in Hanoi and has published papers in both Vietnam and in the United States. At HWS, he currently serves as chair of the American Studies Program, director of the Public Service minor, director of the men's studies program, and is a member of the Asian language and cultures program.
Temple of Literature, Hanoi Previous HWS alum/parent trip Saigon at night
Hanoi Family Travels Together
This excursion for HWS alumni, alumnae and parents explores the culture and history of Vietnam as we visit both urban centers and countryside and experience meaningful personal contact with the Vietnamese. Vietnam is dominated by two very distinct regions: the ancient north and the modern south. We will arrive in Hanoi - the traditional, intellectual, and ancient capital for the last several thousand years. During our seven days in the north we will become familiar with Hanoi's vibrant ancient quarter, and sites such as the Temple of Literature, the Water Puppet Theater, and Hoa Lo prison - to name just a few. Expanding into the environs outside of Hanoi, we will visit villages with famous pagodas and those where ancient crafts such as ceramics, paper and silk are practiced in much the same manner as centuries ago. We will experience the extraordinary and diverse geography of Vietnam through an overnight excursion on Halong Bay where we will sleep on the boat, and an overnight stay at Mai Chau, sleeping at an old weaving village of homes on stilts surrounded by lush, terraced rice paddies. For the still more adventurous there will be a lunch at the snake village (optional menu choices available!).
Ho Chi Minh Museum, Saigon
Delicious Vietnamese Cuisine
We then fly south to the second very distinct region, modern Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). It is considered young (at only 300 hundred years), hip, international and the vibrant economic hub of the country. We will tour the city and its markets by land and water, and visit the War Remnants Museum and the Ho Chi Minh Museum. We will take a Vietnamese cooking class with one of Vietnam's most famous chefs. On our excursions outside of Saigon we will visit the unique Cu Chi Tunnels and the phantasmagorical Cao Dai temple, and we will overnight in a house on stilts over the water on the Mekong Delta. You will fly out of Saigon for home.
At all points along the way there will be free time for individual exploring. We will experience wonderful Vietnamese cuisine, with many meals included. We will meet with old friends who will provide a welcoming embrace within a culture very different from our own and who will make us feel at home. We will also meet with several HWS alums who, having become so enamored by their experience on our Vietnam semester abroad, chose to return to live and work there. Come join our journey to this fascinating and breathtaking country.

|Speculations on difference between tricyclic and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants on their cardiac effects. Is there any?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10213794 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The cardiovascular effects and toxicity of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) have been well documented in medical literature. The most common manifestation of such effects is slowing of intraventricular conduction, manifested by prolonged PR, QRS and QT intervals on the standard electrocardiogram (ECG) and postural hypotension. In contrast to TCAs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), including fluoxetine and citalopram, are considered to cause less effect on cardiac impulse conduction. In addition, these compounds induced significantly less anticholinergic, antihistaminergic and cardiotoxic side-effects than TCAs. However, there is an increasing number of case reports on dysrhythmias, like atrial fibrillation or bradycardia and syncope associated with fluoxetine and another SSRI treatment and overdose. Although such reports have not been common, they do raise concerns. In cardiac tissues isolated from canine, rabbit, rat and guinea pig hearts we have found that fluoxetine and citalopram inhibited cardiac Na+ and Ca2+ channels. These direct cardiac electrophysiological effects were similar to those of observed for tricyclic antidepressants clomipramine and imipramine. The inhibition of cardiac Ca2+ and Na+ channels by fluoxetine may explain most cardiac side-effects observed occasionally with the drug and mild but significant bradycardia reported during chronic treatment. Our results suggest that fluoxetine and citalopram may have antiarrhythmic (class I + IV type), as well as proarrhythmic properties (due to impairment of atrioventricular or intraventricular conduction and shortening of repolarization). Taking all these into consideration, in depressed patients having also severe cardiac disorders, ECG control may be suggested during fluoxetine and probable another SSRI therapy. The primary goal of this review is to compare these direct cardiac effects of fluoxetine and citalopram to those of previously reported for TCAs. This paper also summarizes the recently observed effects of fluoxetine apparently not related to the blockage of 5-HT transporter based on literature.

UNDATED (AP) - Imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo (lee zhahw BOH'-ah) has won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize.
The committee says he was awarded the prize for "his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights."
As expected, the Chinese government is enraged.
The Foreign Ministry calls Liu a criminal and says awarding him the peace prize "runs completely counter to the principle of the prize and is also a blasphemy to the peace prize." It says the award should have gone to promoting international friendship and disarmament.
China had warned the Nobel committee not to honor Liu, and says the decision will hurt relations with Norway.
Liu was a favorite with open support from winners Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and others.

Virginia Tech has already landed two running backs this season, but word continues to spread that they may be looking for a third. One player the coaching staff continues to be eyeing is Knoxville, Tenn., Fulton back Dennis Rogan. Last we heard from the 5-foot-10, 167-pounder, he had the Hokies in his top two along with Miami. Where does Virginia Tech stand now for the Tennessee prospect?
"I'd say right now Miami is probably leading for me," he said. "I like them a little more because I grew up watching them. I really like the team chemistry there and the coaches. Coach Olson is a real person that shoots straight and won't lie to you. I like that."

Neal Roberson
Pastor Cornelius (Neal) Roberson is a native of Durant, MS, and moved to Milwaukee, WI, as a young man. He was called to the ministry in June of 1990. He has served as senior pastor of Victorius Christian Worship Center of Rockford, IL, since April 1996. Under the leading of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Neal Roberson has successfully tripled the size of his congregation.
Singing gospel music is nothing new for Pastor Neal. He sang with childrens' choirs and youth choirs beginning at an early age. In 2001, Pastor Neal signed with Blackberry Records and recorded "Delighted".
On May 21, 2000, the Lord decided to take his brother, Michael Roberson, home to be with Him. Pastor Neal stated that after the taking of his brother, he had a difficult time releasing him. He began to pray and ask God for help. He states that one night God spoke to him and said, "Whatever you give up to me, you'll regain it again". Then the spirit of the Lord inspired Pastor Neal to record "That's When He Blessed Me," which is track number 8 on "Delighted". Pastor Neal states, "So when I gave him up. That's When He Blessed Me". You will find this release an inspiration from beginning to end.

Yes, I agree with KR. A fuel sesytm that hasn't figured out what to do with the waste yet should just not be running. Shut down all nuclear reactors and then come back and ask me when you have that problem solved. Thank you. I live in northern Ibaraki Prefecture, about 120 km from the Fukushima nuclear disaster site. Every day I have to think about the ruined lives of the people here, my family and myself. The contamination isn't all that bad here, but it exits. I have to think about everything I eat. I have to think about everything I do outside. Up till now we have also grown some of our own food. Now I'm reluctant to do so. Nuclear power is SAFE??!! Please give me back my past and my future. When you can do that, I'll join you! If you want to make further pronouncements about nuclear power being safe, please promise to watch all the people of my city for the next twenty years to see if their health worsens over that time period. If you can't promise, don't bother pronouncing. Thank you.

NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō The town council voted 4-1 Monday to send a letter to the Rhode Island Department of Transportation indicating its preferences for the bike path extension.
Mike DeLuca, director of community development, gave the council an update regarding RIDOTŌĆÖs review of the bike path. He said that as of last month, RIDOTŌĆÖs consultant firm, Fay, Spofford & Thorndike, was in the process of completing the advanced feasibility study and will deliver a final report some time in 2014.
ŌĆ£I would think theyŌĆÖre going to deliver it sooner rather than later, in the next two months maybe,ŌĆØ DeLuca said.
The town provided RIDOT with three proposed routes for review, the town councilŌĆÖs preferred ŌĆ£Sea View Route,ŌĆØ the ŌĆ£Brady Route,ŌĆØ designed by resident Patrick Brady, and the ŌĆ£Master Plan Route,ŌĆØ which came from an earlier study of possible routes.
Brady attended the meeting and indicated that DeLuca had submitted the incorrect Brady Route to RIDOT.
DeLuca said he hadnŌĆÖt been provided the most recent Brady Route in 2011 when staff complied the map of proposed routes for RIDOT.
Brady reviewed his correct route for the council and asked that it be submitted to RIDOT.
He also asked that the council withdraw the Master Plan Route from RIDOTŌĆÖs consideration.
ŌĆ£It is not only not feasible, but is an insult to the abutters of this road,ŌĆØ Brady said of the Master Plan Route, indicating its path down Riverside Drive.

Good Question: Can an earthquake shorten my day?
Updated: 03/02/2010 - The recent earthquake in Chile was the seventh largest ever recorded. We know it caused an enormous amount of damage. Scientists also think it did a whole lot more that we can't see. The Earth rotates on an axis and that's how we measure our days, but scientists believe the recent earthquake altered the axis and time. Good question: Can an earthquake really shorten my day?

A fascinating debate emerged in the tech world this week after Amazon's big earnings miss and Steve Ballmer's comments about Amazon's business model.
In an interview with Charlie Rose, the former Microsoft CEO said that Amazon isn't a "real business" without meaningful profits — defending his own record of profitability at Microsoft and implying that critics should take a second look at his legacy as a business leader.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is famous for saying it's "Still Day One" — underscoring a long-term focus that tests the patience of investors. The company is a giant in the world of e-commerce and cloud computing but has stumbled with its initial attempt to expand into smartphones.
Bezos says real innovators need to be "willing to be misunderstood for long periods of time."

Nanoscale Research Letters 2011, 6:632 doi:10.1186/1556-276X-6-632Published: 14 December 2011
Precise and reproducible surface nanopatterning is the key for a successful ordered growth of GaN nanocolumns. In this work, we point out the main technological issues related to the patterning process, mainly surface roughness and cleaning, and mask adhesion to the substrate. We found that each of these factors, process-related, has a dramatic impact on the subsequent selective growth of the columns inside the patterned holes. We compare the performance of e-beam lithography, colloidal lithography, and focused ion beam in the fabrication of hole-patterned masks for ordered columnar growth. These results are applicable to the ordered growth of nanocolumns of different materials.

The way to get to Invesco Field at Mile High on Thursday, even for big wheels, was on two wheels.
Hundreds of those with tickets to the Democratic National Convention finale rode bicycles to the stadium, taking advantage of the Freewheelin cycling promotion sponsored by Humana Inc. throughout the convention.
Washington state delegate Monica Stonier and her husband, Brandon, enjoyed their leisurely bike ride from downtown to the stadium.
"We just followed a pedicab. We didn't have to worry about finding the right transit stop," said Monica, a middle-school teacher in Vancouver, Wash. Throughout the week, the Stoniers had been taking light rail from their Denver Tech Center hotel to the convention.
Washington Democratic state Reps. Mary Lou Dickerson and Ruth Kagi also biked to the stadium to hear Barack Obama's acceptance speech.
"It's exhilarating. I couldn't ask for anything more," said Dickerson, a Seattle resident, of the week's events.
The first 10 minutes of their ride to Mile High were wonderful, said Kagi, of Lake Forest Park, Wash., and Dickerson, but then they and other bikers were detoured off the South Platte River bike path for security reasons and forced to take side streets around the stadium to the bike parking area in Rude Park, south of Mile High near Federal Boulevard and West 13th Avenue.
"Team Blumenauer" arrived on bikes at Rude Park in great spirits, fit and ready for the roughly 1 1/2-hour wait in line to get into the stadium.
"It was fun," said team member Julia Pomeroy, chief of staff in the Portland office of Oregon Democratic Rep. Earl Blumenauer, a champion in Congress of transit, biking and other alternative transportation.
Stacy Armitage of north Denver's Highland neighborhood biked to the stadium with her brother-in-law Chuck Wiley, who had come from his home in Centennial for the speech.
"You can't beat an 80-degree day in Colorado," Armitage said.

The City of Detroit's top lawyer, in a letter to Gov. Rick Snyder, has made the first legal challenge to the consent agreement entered into last month between the state and city.
• PDF: Letter from city's top lawyer claiming the consent agreement is null
• PDF: Response letter from State Treasurer Andy Dillon
The letter, obtained by the Free Press, says that state law and the city charter prohibit the city from entering into any binding contract with entities that owe outstanding debts to the city. The letter says the state owes the city $4.75 million for a 2010 water bill and $224 million in state revenue sharing.
State officials dismissed the letter Wednesday, saying Michigan does not owe money to Detroit, and the letter provides no rationale for undoing a consent agreement voluntarily approved by the City Council and Mayor Dave Bing.
Bing's office had no comment late Wednesday. Some council members didn't return phone calls or declined to discuss the letter in detail, claiming it to be a privileged document.
Council President Pro Tem Gary Brown said he could not discuss the specifics of any correspondence, but he said the council could vote as soon as Friday to make the letter public.
Brown said legal issues raised by Krystal Crittendon, the head of the city's Law Department, have brought progress in appointing a financial advisory board to a standstill.
"I think that any legal issues that may arise should be addressed by the court," Brown said. "As far as I am concerned, the City Council should move forward with the consent agreement. Until a judge tells us not to move forward, we should move forward."
Brown said a member of the council requested that Crittendon explore the legality of the consent agreement. He said he could not remember which of his colleagues made the request.
The consent agreement, which the city calls a financial stability agreement, gives the state sweeping oversight into Detroit's finances. City officials approved the consent agreement April 4 in the hopes of avoiding the appointment of an emergency manager.
The city has an accumulated deficit of more than $200 million and long-term debt exceeding $12 billion.
In the letter, dated May 11, Crittendon says the consent agreement is "void and unenforceable" because under both Michigan law and Detroit's city charter, the city can't enter into contracts with the state or give official positions to anyone who is in default with the city.
The letter does not explain how the state owes the city money for a water bill.
Crittendon told the Free Press on Wednesday evening that she drafted two letters -- a privileged and confidential document to her client, whom she would not identify, and a letter to state officials -- challenging the legality of the consent agreement.
"The charter requires that I bring attention to any charter violations," Crittendon said, adding that the 2012 charter requires that corporation counsel enforces compliance of the charter and documents charter violations.
"I was also asked for a legal opinion by one of my clients. Those are the reasons I wrote the letter."
Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said Wednesday that the governor's office did not consider the letter a serious enough challenge to undo the consent agreement.
Wurfel said the state remains committed to the agreement.
"We can't keep getting held back with these things. We need to move forward," Wurfel said. "This was a collaborative effort agreed to by all parties. That's by far the preferred path and the one that we're on."
But the legal challenge has slowed progress toward implementing part of the consent agreement.
During the past weeks, the council had been interviewing candidates for the financial advisory board, which is a new entity created under the consent agreement. The board would have final say over budget matters.
The council put off selecting candidates after it interviewed four people, and wouldn't explain the delay.
The allegation that the state reneged on its revenue sharing is not new. Bing and council members had been arguing for months that the state owed the city about $220 million in revenue sharing under a deal made with then-Gov. John Engler, in which the state would raise revenue sharing it paid to Detroit in exchange for the city rolling back its income tax from 3% to 2%.
The city never finished the income tax rollback, and the state ended up cutting its revenue sharing. Snyder's office has made clear that whatever deal happened years ago will not result in the state paying Detroit the $220 million.
Crittendon's letter claims Treasurer Andy Dillon admitted on a local radio show that the state indeed owes the city the money. But in a letter sent Wednesday in response to Crittendon's letter, Dillon denied any unpaid debts or that allegations in the letter mean the consent agreement is unenforceable.
"The state is not in default to the city," said Caleb Buhs, a Dillon spokesman. "It is our belief, and we will go forward with the fact that the consent agreement is valid. We want to keep moving forward with it and get the city back on solid financial footing and quit delaying the process."
Dillon's letter said the city was fully aware of the allegations Detroit was owed money for revenue sharing before the consent deal was approved.
The consent agreement "was crafted through a collaborative effort between the state, through the governor-appointed City of Detroit financial review team, and the city's elected mayor and council," Dillon's letter says. "The willingness of Mayor Dave Bing and the Detroit City Council to come to this agreement shows their commitment to reach the long sought-after goal of financial stability in Detroit."
Crittendon's letter is not the only legal challenge to Public Act 4, which created the law that allows for the appointment of emergency managers. The group Stand Up for Democracy will appear before the Michigan Court of Appeals this morning in Detroit in its effort to force the state to put a proposal to repeal Public Act 4 on the November ballot.

Infinity exits and is crucial in many parts of mathematics.
Infinity is something that seems to exist only conceptually and doesn't work out well outside the philosophical.
In a sense, there is no "infinity" because the idea you are probably thinking about is only one of an infinite number of infinities. For instance, there are the infinity of all positive integers (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ... 200,900,988,660,499,679,949,969,549, 200,900,988,660,499,679,949,969,550, ..., ?), the infinity of negative integers, the infinity of all fractions between 0 and 1, the infinity of all fractions between 1 and 2, and so on. There are the infinity of all irrational numbers (?, ?2, ?3, ?5, ?6, 3?10, ...), the infinity of even integers, the infinity of odd integers, and so on.
I would argue that it is impossible to square an actual infinite, I mean it is infinite after all. You can't square what you can't get to the beginning of or end to of a series of things.
You can find a function that defines a surface so large that you cannot paint it, but that also defines a volume you can fill with paint. Illogical? Well, maybe, but the idea of infinity is not illogical, nor is it useless.
Squaring infinity is not impossible. And it fills a very valid and useful niche in mathematics.

Pie takes time. Pie requires attentions. Pie demands love and care. Pie, even for an everyday baker like me, is a lost art.
I needed a good, old fashioned, pie contest to help me slow down, take a breath, and dream up the most delicious pie I could.
The most delicious thing I could dream up was this: bananas, homemade peanut butter, chocolate, graham crackers, butter, whipped cream, and as much sugar as I could reasonably pack into a single pie dish…. and some chocolate shavings for good measure.
The result: one mad Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie. The contest: inspired by Whitney and several bottles of wine. The contestants: as serious about pie as they are about being incredibly fashionable and audaciously cool. The competition: stiff. The winner: one devastating, delicious and perfectly tart Key Lime Pie.
Did you need a use for you homemade Honey Roasted Peanut Butter? I'm sure you found some toasted bread to enjoy it with. Just in case you needed an over the top excuse to enjoy life just a bit more… here's a pie that, while it may not win any pie contests, is sure to make life a whole hell of a lot sweeter.
You'll need some homemade peanut butter, but if you're not feeling that ambitious, the jarred stuff will work too.
You'll need a graham cracker crust, melted chocolate, peanut butter, banana cream pie filling, fresh whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Here's how it all comes together.
Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie
adapted from Martha Stewart, but mostly from me.
For the Crust:
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
pinch of salt
1/2 stick (4 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
For the Chocolate Layer:
2 ounces of dark chocolate, melted over a double boiler
For the Peanut Butter Layer:
3/4 cup homemade peanut butter, or the jarred stuff, chunky or smooth as you see fit
For the Banana Layer:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large egg yolks
2 cups whole milk
2 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter
3 ripe bananas, thinly sliced
For the Whipped Cream Layer:
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To make the crust, stir the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Pour over the melted butter and stir until all of the dry ingredients are uniformly moist. I use my fingers. Turn the ingredients into a 9-inch pie pan and pat with your fingers to create an even layer of crumbs of the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan.
Put the pan in the freezer while you preheat the oven.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Once heated, place the pie crust on the center rack of the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and set crust aside to cool.
For the chocolate layer, put two inches of water in a medium sauce pan, once simmering, place a larger bowl with the 2 ounces of chocolate in it over the simmering water. Melt the chocolate in this double boiler situation. Once cooled, pour into the baked graham cracker crust and spread around with a spatula. Place in the refrigerator to cool and harden.
Prepare the peanut butter. Once the chocolate is cooled, spread the peanut butter over the melted and hardened chocolate.
To prepare the banana filling, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. Add egg yolks, and whisk until smooth. Bring milk to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup milk to yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Pour mixture into pan with hot milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture begins to bubble and is very thick, about 6 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on this and whisk constantly over a low flame. The cornstarch will make the mixture thicken quickly.
Pour milk mixture through a large-mesh sieve into a bowl. Add butter, and stir until melted. Fold in bananas. Pour into crust. Place plastic wrap directly on surface of filling to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Make the topping: Beat together cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. Spread whipped cream over filling. Using a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon, shape topping into peaks.
Make chocolate shavings: Carefully run a sharp knife along the back side of a dark chocolate bar towards yourself. Quickly sprinkle the shavings on the top of the pie. It's that easy!

I just wanted to tell you how in love I am with your blog. The layout and design pulled me in to start, then I discovered that I thoroughly enjoy viewing pictures of baked goods (especially here, with your artistic approach). And to top it off, I actually read the post today- along with a few previous posts, and you're just so entertaining! I never realized this before because I was just scrolling through the pictures. I'll definitely be taking my time in reading future posts! Anyway, thanks for brightening my day!
Oh yum! I usually don't like banana cream pie, but it is Mr. B's favorite. I bet with peanut butter I would love it!
Your pics on this post should win! The pie looks amazing. I was wondering what that peanut butter was going into when I read the peanut butter post. Now I know :). Divine!

Maybe you know our "sister site", The Cyclist, but perhaps you don't. Well, if you fall into the category of those that don't know, we are pretty busy over there testing a lot of non-29?er related parts and gear. We thought it'd be nice to point out some of our recent gear reviews for riders of 29?ers since ya'all ride mountain bikes. Mountain bikers need more than just 29?er bikes, and that's where our sister site fits into all this.
Lately we have been delving into the growing "bikepacking' craze, but have found that the gear to do it with is, ah………spendy! We thought that there had to be a cheaper way into this adventure, so Grannygear came up with the idea of Bikepacking The Dirtbag Way, which is a series of articles exploring the idea. The latest is on Grannygear's own seatbag invention.
With today's lightweight accessories and components, using a torque wrench has become more important than ever before. Warranties can be voided by not using a torque wrench upon installation of some components, and worse, serious injury or death could result by not adhering to torque specifications. Take a look at this article which also introduces the Topeak "D-Torq" wrench.
We like protecting our eyes while we ride and we like to look good- (well…..as well as we possibly can look good!), while doing it. Here we take a look at a couple of Gargoyles eye wear models in The Cyclistsite's Review Section.
Syncros is a brand entrenched in the history of mountain biking. They are still around and still making great components too. Grannygear takes a look at some swank new Syncros components in The Review Section here.
Thanks for checking out The Cyclistsite.com.

This is the fifth time that Montrose voters have been asked to vote on a bill that would raise the Mill Levy Tax in order to pay for a new fire station. There is currently only one station, and with the growth Montrose has experienced, fire officials are concerned that response times for emergency personnel are not what they should be.
There are only 6 firefighters on at any given time, and 19% of the calls come in when firefighters are already on another call. Montrose Fire Chief Bob Pister says that it is necessary for Montrose to have another fire station to ensure that citizens get the emergency services they need.
Many agree that a new fire station is needed, but some are against raising the Mill Levy Tax to do so.
