Straight to the subject: i found the recent errata changes insubstantial
Phoenix chick and verlaat erratas didn't have that much of an impact, of which i am really happy and glad. The skills that i most treasure about these two cards didn't get touched! THANK YOU ALTEIL IN THAT REGARD!
But when it comes to cards like lvl 4 miffere i really have to wonder if the errata shouldn't be more remarkable, important, of more value in such a case. I think this is where it really mattered. See lvl 4 miffere totally tops the following cards:
- weissvogel - she has that conditional of morning only
- lvl 1 miff - gives opponent also SP
- energizer bunny - it has it as an actionskill, which is sort of bad, but that's the only skill he has anyway
- mad priest - this guy clearly is on drugs and that's why he's loosing HP
In all of the above cases the SP generation (or SP drain) is the only skill the card has anyway, but miffere does NOT ONLY take this to the next level and totally outclasses them in sp manipulation, but also has that actionskill (it's not that much anymore but can still achieve a lot) and the STRONG startskill which BLOCKS all level 1s from both files, sure that can be a backdraw, but since when does refess rely that much on level 1s anyway?
Fact is that you will more like want to block undine/sylph + AGI dependant return SS or succubus+rats than rely on a card like wisp.
Oh and BKA hahaha! That's a really funny one. It went from completely useless to vanilla level. Oh well it's at least useful at beginner level (maybe).
It might be good news for a new player, but for the overall meta and for folrart it's really an unimportant change and that's where it's at. Card buffs should matter. One should be able to notice great thought put into the changes, which is impossible with insufficiently strong changes.
Ridiculous oddities of this errata:
Jewel is one of those nerfs that i also don't care about. I mean heh so what? All that was really done is completely eliminate strategies that would have relied on it later on in the game and some of the early strategies. It still totally boosts falkow openings to kill level 2-3 rushes with ease which means the nerf is as good as not even there.
Also the SP drain backdraw mainly destroys big falkow which is an unnecessary and irrelevant thing to do.
Maybe this change is sort of important, but only in destroying some falkow builds we didn't get to see yet. It's really a messed up change.
Substantial changes:
magic doll augment - but it was on the wrong card, the nerf basically neutered this barbie, tho it used to be a great unit. I have no hope for it ever being good again.
It's the only relevant change because it's what made a meta card into a non-meta card (yes it's bad but it's a substantial change) and that's where it's at in this game. How competitively playable is a card.

|This is the article on the movie character Setsuna. If you are looking for the article on Setsuna Uchiha, head to Setsuna Uchiha.
|セツナ Setsuna
|Naruto Shippūden the Movie
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Setsuna (セツナ, Setsuna) was a shinobi who hailed from the Land of Demons and appeared on Naruto: Shippūden the Movie.
Setsuna had long blue hair and coloured eyes. He wore a white attire with a hexagram symbol similar to the rest of the Gang of Four, a belt with pouch, black gloves, and martial artist shoes.
Setsuna specialised in mid-to-long-range combat. He would regularly rely on techniques or projectile weapons to keep his opponents a fair distance away. He also demonstrated impressive aim even when targeting a moving opponent.
While under the influence of Yomi's dark chakra, he used powerful wind-type techniques, usually consisting of strong gusts and tornadoes, sometimes combined with his comrades' fire-based techniques to create massive firestorms. The pinnacle of his wind-type prowess was to combine with Shizuku's water techniques to turn into a thunderstorm that could disperse bolts of lightning in order to demolish areas. Unfortunately, doing so quickly drained both his dark chakra and regular chakra reserves. He also showed some efficient skill in puppetry.
Plot Overview
Setsuna was a member of Yomi's team, who were on a quest to release the demon Mōryō. During the beginning of the movie, he played a big part in killing the guards of Mōryō's prison. Later, he, along with the rest of his team, were sent to kill Shion, a priestess who was the only person alive who could stop Mōryō. However, the attempt on Shion's life failed thanks to interference from Naruto. He joined his team in a group combo attack that nearly killed Naruto. Upon fighting Naruto and the rest of his team, he ended up using all of his extra chakra given to him by Yomi, forcing him to retreat with the rest of his team. Later, during the second battle, Setsuna went up against Neji, holding his opponent at bay with his Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken. Eventually, Neji realised that this was a diversion to keep him away from Shion.
Later, during another attempt to kill Shion, Setsuna and Shizuku began to demolish the entire forest by turning into a thunderstorm and dispersing lightning. Unfortunately, this reckless manoeuvre used up all of his extra chakra. Then, almost immediately after Kusuna was killed and Shizuku was spotted by Sakura, Rock Lee took advantage of this opportunity thanks to Neji's plan, and finished him off with a powerful taijutsu attack. Setsuna was then killed by a falling tree.
- Setsuna can mean "moment" or "instant" (刹那), or "painful", "trying" or "oppressive" (as a shorter version of 切ない, setsunai).

Former pitcher Watson denies using performance-enhancing drugs
Updated: December 21, 2007, 5:45 PM ETAssociated Press
NEW YORK -- A day after being linked to drugs in baseball, former pitcher Allen Watson denied the allegation.
Watson was among nine players accused of doping by former pitcher Jason Grimsley in a federal agent's affidavit unsealed Thursday.
"I at no time over my professional baseball career used steroids or any performance-enhancing drugs. Not then, not now, not ever," Watson said Friday in a statement released by his agent, Tony Giordano.
Watson, now 37, was 51-55 ...

Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps farmers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Khris Davis hit a two-run homer and the
Milwaukee Brewers knocked out Francisco Liriano early en route to a 9-3
victory in the finale of a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Aramis Ramirez and Jeff Bianchi each knocked in two runs during the Brewers'
13-hit attack and Wily Peralta (9-14) allowed three runs on nine hits over six
quality innings to collect the win and snap the club's five-game slide.
Marlon Byrd went 3-for-5 with an RBI and Andrew McCutchen added a solo homer
for Pittsburgh, which was trying for its first three-game sweep in Milwaukee
since 2004.
The Pirates still sit atop the NL Central, but their lead over the Cardinals
will be tested when they visit St. Louis for three games this weekend.
Liriano (15-7) was pulled after the Brewers batted around in a five-run third
Jonathan Lucroy's run-scoring, ground-rule double broke a 2-2 tie, and Ramirez
followed with a double to the left-field gap that brought in two more.
Liriano got Bianchi on a comebacker to the mound but dropped the potential
inning-ending double-play ball and could only get the out at first. Ramirez
scored on the play, and Yuniesky Betancourt later raced home on a wild pitch
to give Milwaukee a 7-2 cushion.
All told, Liriano was charged with seven runs on seven hits and two walks.
McCutchen took Peralta deep to start the fifth, but any momentum Pittsburgh
had ceased when Justin Morneau was thrown out at home later in the inning.
The Pirates left the bases loaded for the second time in the seventh, and the
Brewers tacked on two insurance runs in their half on Bianchi's sacrifice fly
and Martin Maldonado's two-out RBI single.
Jordy Mercer singled in a run in the second inning, but the Pirates stranded
three runners that frame and found themselves down after Davis crushed a two-
run homer to deep left-center in the bottom half.
Byrd tied things in the third with an RBI single.
Davis has nine home runs in 48 games ... Norichika Aoki had three hits for the
Brewers ... Pirates closer Jason Grilli threw a scoreless eighth inning. He
had not pitched since straining his right forearm on July 22 ... Liriano is
the first Pirates pitcher since Larry French in 1930 to record a decision in
each of his first 22 starts of a season. French did so in 24 straight outings
... The Pirates won the season series, 12-7.

Deeplinks Blog posts about No Downtime for Free Speech
Another day, another stupid copyright claim silences a lawful use online. Copyright abuse is all too common, but some forms deserve special attention and a place in EFF Takedown Hall of Shame.
In the week leading up the two-year anniversary of the SOPA blackout protests, EFF and others are talking about key principles that should guide copyright policy. Every day, we'll take on a different piece, exploring what's at stake and what we need to do to make sure the law promotes creativity and innovation. We've put together a page where you can read and endorse the principles yourself. Let's send a message to DC, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Brussels, and wherever else folks are making new copyright rules: We're from the Internet, and we're here to help.
For several weeks now, former Navy chaplain and Colorado Assembly candidate Gordon Klingenschmitt has been on a campaign to shut down the YouTube account of People for the American Way's Right Wing Watch ("RWW") project. RWW reports and comments on the political views of folks like Klingenschmitt, using their own words. As we all learned in Writing 101: show, don't tell.
Klingenschmitt apparently doesn't appreciate the criticism those clips engender, so he's been using false copyright claims to get them taken down. Now, with help from EFF and Hogan Lovells, PFAW is fighting back, demanding that Klingenschmitt end his campaign.
The abuse of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's notice-and-takedown process to silence lawful speech is well-documented and all too common. Far less common, though, is a service provider that is willing to team up with its users to challenge that abuse in court.
That's what WordPress.com's parent company, Automattic, Inc, did today and we couldn't be more pleased. Represented by Durie Tangri, LLP, Automattic has joined two lawsuits in federal court under Section 512(f) of the DMCA. Section 512(f) is the provision that allows users to hold people accountable when they make false infringement accusations.
When a statute is clear, judges are supposed to follow it or explain, in some detail, why they shouldn't. That's why we were disappointed by this week's ruling in Tuteur v. Crosley Corcoran. In the ruling, the judge suggests that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") does not require the sender of a takedown notice to affirm anything except its belief that the targeted material is being used without permission from the owner or its agent. Trouble is, the statute says something very different, i.e., that the sender must affirm that the material is not authorized by "the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."

Retailer of the Week
Lennon Caruso men's wear buyer of Caruso Caruso, USA
05 Dec. 2012
Lennon Caruso, Caruso Caruso, Birmingham, Michigan, USALocated in the Detroit suburb of Birmingham, Michigan and opened in 1981, Caruso Caruso is a 5,000-sq.-foot (465-sq.-meter) family-owned retailer that offers a private label collection called Frank U! alongside brand favorites including AG Adriano Goldschmied, DL1961 and Paige for both men and women. US contributor Rudy Gonzales spoke to men's buyer Lennon Caruso, who co-owns the store with his father Frank, about his retail expertise and the overall state of the market. Interview by Rudy Gonzales
Caruso Caruso, Birmingham, Michigan, USA
What are some of your current bestsellers itemwise and brandwise?
Denim. Founded in 1981, we are one of the country's original premium denim shops. You can tell us apart by the eponymous title. I feel like all modern denim stores have to incorporate "denim," "blue," "jeans" or some generic denim term in the title to let you know where they stand.
Brandwise, it's AG (shout out to Mobile Showroom and Jen Jen the best rep ever), DL1961, Retro Brand, Splendid, Topman, Hudson, Sugar Lips, Free People, Paige (shout out to Ms. Molly the coolest rep ever), Vintage Havana, Alternative Apparel, RVCA, Colorfast…. I don't know; there are so many great brands (with great people behind them).
What item's or brand's sales performance has really surprised you?
Something as simple as Sugar Lips seamless tank tops. Some preteen girls came in a couple years ago asking about them. Then a few moms starting talking about how their daughters think they're the bee's knees. A few weeks later we were selling 500 a month. It has tapered off this year but we're still good for a few hundred per month. Colored denim was a nice surprise around spring/summer 2010. Rarely is a trend so embraced by women of all age groups and now it is crossing over nicely into men's.
Caruso Caruso, Birmingham, Michigan, USA
Who is your "typical" customer?
Women: 16 to 40 years old. For the young and young at heart. Moms and daughters shopping together, swapping sizes and sometimes sharing items. Men: 16 to 40 years old. Young dudes looking for cool shit and dads wanting to stay relevant on the weekends. Hopefully all customers know by now we're the place to go for jeans.
How do you compare to other stores in Michigan?
I don't think we compare to anything in Birmingham, Michigan.
What has been the biggest challenge of having the store thus far?
Our ability to grow due to my own control issues and the ability to find consistent, unique staff members.
What has been your favorite memory of the store thus far?
I don't really have highs and lows like that. It has been nice to come to work for past eight years and talk things out (aka argue) with my father. If I had to pick a favorite time spent over the past eight years, it's the business we did toward the back half of 2008 through 2009. The Big Three (Detroit's auto makers) had just collapsed, the economy was in free fall and the news media was guaranteeing us we'd all be on the bread line very soon. As stressful as it was, I knew if I could hustle up and turn a profit in those times that I would come out more confident for the future.
How do you find new brands and merchandise?
Trade shows, talking to reps, store owners, chatting with customers and visiting showrooms for one line then finding another.
Caruso Caruso, Birmingham, Michigan, USA
The most important. Our women's buyer Jillian Lenko and I started Frank U!, our private label, a few years ago. It has been solid since day one. We're able to shop items that look/feel exactly like the branded lines we carry. We're able to sell those items about 20% to 30% less than the branded item and maintain the same margin. We merchandise the items right next to their branded counterparts and let our customers decide what they want to spend their money on. Sometimes it ends up J Brand jeans and a Frank U! (similar to Free People) top, other times it ends up in Frank U! jeans (with a similar look to J Brand) and a Free People top.
What do you think is the overall state of fashion and retail at the moment?
These are great times. Someone can come up with a unique item and with the speed of production overseas it can get knocked off and flood the market within the same selling season. There are high-end stores, discount stores, flash sales, sample sales, pop-up shops, online retail, personal shopping services, people shopping off QR codes in magazines or off an iPhone application. High-end lines, margin builders, Korean LA alley stuff, off-price shows, finer trade shows, road reps still grinding their routes.... It's all happening and it's all going so fast. I love it. I don't think money even matters anymore. It seems like anyone can at least get something from any brand, at any price, anytime. Meanwhile everyone is running around mad in black activewear as if the world is ending. Who doesn't have an all-black Lulu hookup and Louis V. in this town? To me, money has been replaced by time. When I see a women walking down the street elegantly dressed for the day pushing a stroller (probably a Maclaren) with two finely dressed children in tow, I know that chick is paid.

Hepatitis B Virus Tests
Test Overview
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) tests check for substances in the blood that show whether a hepatitis B infection is active or has occurred in the past. The tests look for different signs of infection (markers):
- Antigens are markers made by bacteria or viruses. So the presence of HBV antigens means that the virus is in the body.
- Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to fight infection. The presence of HBV antibodies means that you have been exposed to the hepatitis B virus at some time. But you could have been infected long ago and gotten better, or you may have a current infection.
- Genetic material (DNA) of the hepatitis B virus shows that the virus is in the body. The amount of DNA can help determine how severe the infection is and how easily the HBV infection can be spread.
It is important to identify the type of hepatitis virus causing infection to prevent its spread and choose the proper treatment.
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) testing
HBV is transmitted through infected body fluids, including blood, semen, and vaginal fluids (including menstrual blood). It also can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her child at or near the time of birth.
There are several different HBV tests. These are the HBV tests most commonly done:
- Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is the earliest sign of an active hepatitis B infection. This antigen may be present before symptoms of an HBV infection are present. If this antigen is present for more than 6 months, then you probably have a chronic (long-term) HBV infection. This means you can spread HBV to others throughout your life.
- Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) usually appears about 4 weeks after HBsAg disappears. The presence of this antibody means that the infection is at the end of its active stage and you cannot pass the virus to others (you are no longer contagious). This antibody also protects you from getting HBV again in the future. The test is done to determine the need for vaccination—the antibody will be present after receiving the HBV vaccine series, showing that you have protection (immunity) from the virus. Occasionally your test may show that you have both the HBsAb antibodies and HBsAg antigen. In this case you are still contagious.
- Hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) is an HBV protein that is only present during an active HBV infection. This test determines how contagious you are. Testing for this antigen can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for HBV.
- HBV DNA testing checks for genetic material (DNA) from the hepatitis B virus. The HBV DNA tests measure how much genetic material is present. A high level of HBV DNA means that the virus is multiplying in your body and you are very contagious. If you have a chronic HBV infection, an elevated viral DNA level means you are at an increased risk for liver damage and may want to consider treatment with antiviral medicine. Testing for HBV DNA is also used to check the effectiveness of treatment for long-term (chronic) HBV infection. HBV DNA testing is a more sensitive test than HBeAg (above) for detecting HBV in the blood.
Other HBV tests are not done as often:
- Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) is an antibody to the hepatitis B core antigen that appears about 1 month after the start of an active HBV infection. It can be found in people who had an infection in the past and in those with long-term (chronic) HBV. It usually is present for life. Blood banks test for this antibody when screening donated blood for hepatitis B.
- Hepatitis B core antibody IgM (HBcAbIgM) is another antibody to the hepatitis B core antigen. It indicates an HBV infection that has occurred within the last 6 months. It can also mean that a chronic hepatitis B infection has flared up again.
- Hepatitis B e-antibody (HBeAb) shows that the active stage of an acute HBV infection is almost over, and your risk of being contagious is greatly reduced.
A hepatitis B vaccine is available to prevent an HBV infection.
Hepatitis D virus (HDV) testing
Infection with the hepatitis D virus (HDV), or delta agent, occurs only in people who are already infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Vaccination against hepatitis B will prevent hepatitis D infection. Hepatitis D infection is rare in the United States and Canada, except among people who inject illegal drugs and those who are frequently exposed to blood products. The hepatitis D test detects HDV antibodies. A positive test indicates only that you have been infected with HDV—it cannot distinguish between an acute or chronic infection. Another test, the HDV RNA test, is needed to determine whether you have an active HDV infection. It does not distinguish between an acute or chronic infection. This test currently is not available except in research settings.
Since hepatitis B infections can be spread through sexual contact, practice safer sex until your test results are returned.
Why It Is Done
Hepatitis B virus testing is done to:
- Identify the type of hepatitis B virus infection. Testing can determine whether an infection has occurred recently or in the past. Other tests that show how well the liver is functioning are usually done to help make treatment decisions.
- Screen people who have a higher risk of getting or spreading a hepatitis B infection, such as doctors, dentists, and nurses.
- Screen blood donors and donor organs to prevent the spread of hepatitis B.
- Find out if a person has developed antibodies after receiving vaccinations for hepatitis B. The presence of antibodies to hepatitis B virus (HBsAb) means that the vaccinations were effective.
- Find out if abnormal liver function tests are being caused by hepatitis B.
- Monitor how well treatment of chronic hepatitis B is working.
How To Prepare
No special preparation is needed before having hepatitis virus testing.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, or how it will be done. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
The health professional drawing blood will:
- Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
- Clean the needle site with alcohol.
- Put the needle into the vein. More than one needle stick may be needed.
- Attach a tube to the needle to fill it with blood.
- Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
- Apply a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
- Apply pressure to the site and then a bandage.
How It Feels
You may feel nothing at all from the needle puncture, or you may feel a brief sting or pinch as the needle goes through the skin. Some people feel a stinging pain while the needle is in the vein. But many people do not feel any pain (or have only minor discomfort) after the needle is positioned in the vein. The amount of pain you feel depends on the skill of the health professional drawing the blood, the condition of your veins, and your sensitivity to pain.
Blood test
There is very little risk of complications from having blood drawn from a vein.
- You may develop a small bruise at the puncture site. You can reduce the risk of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes after the needle is withdrawn.
- In rare cases, the vein may become inflamed after the blood sample is taken. This condition is called phlebitis and is usually treated with a warm compress applied several times a day.
- Continued bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can also make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your health professional before your blood is drawn.
Hepatitis B virus tests check for substances in the blood that show a hepatitis infection is active or has occurred in the past. The tests look for antigens or genetic material (DNA) of the virus that causes hepatitis. Some tests also look for antibodies that the body makes against the virus. Normal results of hepatitis virus testing are called negative. This means that no antigens, antibodies, or genetic material related to the hepatitis B virus was found.
Abnormal (positive)
Hepatitis B (HBV)
Hepatitis B (HBV) antibodies and/or antigens are detected. More tests may be needed to determine whether you have an acute or chronic (long-term) HBV infection.
Hepatitis D (HDV)
Hepatitis D antibodies are found. But this test cannot tell the difference between an acute and a chronic infection. Hepatitis D can only be present if hepatitis B is present.
What Affects the Test
Your doctor will talk with you about anything that may stop you from having the test or that may change the test results.
What To Think About
- Hepatitis B can be prevented by vaccination. The presence of antibodies to the hepatitis B virus may mean that you have developed immunity to the infection after being vaccinated. The hepatitis B vaccination protects against hepatitis D infection also.
- Hepatitis antibodies can take weeks or months to develop, so a person infected with hepatitis may initially test negative if testing is done early in the infection.
- People who have received the hepatitis B vaccine can have HBsAb antibodies without having any of the other hepatitis B markers (HBcAb, HBeAb, HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBV DNA).
- All donated blood and organs are tested for hepatitis before being used.
- Other tests that show how well the liver is working are usually done along with hepatitis B tests. Examples include measurement of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase.
- In many states, some types of hepatitis infections must be reported to the local health department. The health department can then issue a warning to other people who may have been infected with the hepatitis virus, such as those who are close contacts of someone with hepatitis B.

- The Artist
Utilizing blue as a symbol of artistic creation and spiritual purity, Spanish Surrealist Joan Miro (1893 – 1983) painted his enormous "Bleu II," part of a three-part-series, which he said was the culmination of everything he had done until that point. Drawn to unconventional techniques, Miro utilized the psychic automatism method of freeform drawing dictated by impulses of the subconscious, creating amorphous shapes, lines, curlicues and bursts of color. Deeply connected to his heritage, much of his symbolism relates to the Catalan culture, though his art now epitomizes all that is free and spontaneous in Surrealist art.
© Art.com
In joyful rebellion against conventional painting methods, Spanish Surrealist Joan Miro's art exudes an uninhibited childlike freedom of expression. Drawing inspiration from 1920's Paris' counterculture, his art is filled with wonderful absurdity. Miro's use of primary and secondary colors as well as organic shapes conveys a lively, energetic zest for life – a playground of the artist's subconscious mind.

For more than a year now, New York's favorite fashion son, Marc Jacobs, has been hitting the gym. And he's got the muscles to prove it. "For the first time I feel happy with myself physically and mentally," says 44-year-old Jacobs. The fitness trip all began with a visit to a nutritionist who insisted, as part of a diet overhaul, that exercise be put on the menu. Keeping this mandate in mind, Jacobs was introduced to New York–based personal trainer Easy. The two hit it off and thus began the transformation into the muscle-bound Mighty Marc we see today. In spite of his obviously hectic schedule, the
designer manages to get to the gym two hours a day, seven days a week. For Easy, this level of commitment often means traveling as part of Jacobs's retinue—to Paris, London, back to New York, wherever. While many celebrities take cover in private home gyms, the designer has no qualms about sweating in public. In these photos he is training at L'Usine. "It's by far the best gym in Paris," says Easy. "It's beautifully styled, and we have a great time working out there." He may be having a great time, but whatever country Jacobs finds himself in, the two hours with Easy are no walk in the park. The routines are strenuous, designed to maximize not just general fitness but targeted muscle growth as well. Upping the sexiness factor is important, and Jacobs is refreshingly up-front
about wanting his body to look good. Looking good of course is tied to feeling good, and what's good for the mind is good for the body. "I want to be healthy in mind, body, and spirit," he says, "and keep getting younger looking, which is how I feel."

One of the great things about being the parent of a toddler is you can buy products with names such as "Butt Paste" without blushing when the cashier gives you one of those looks.
Remove the baby from the equation, though, and I regress 25 years.
I become the equivalent of a teenage boy whose mom has sent him to the store to buy a box of what the marketing majors, those masters of inoffensive euphemism, describe as "feminine products."
If I need, for instance, a salve to soothe the nether regions of my body, well then I'm loitering in the magazine aisle and leafing through "Four Wheeler" until I see a checkout with no customers and a clerk who appears to be dozing.
And I'll linger for hours if I have to, or at least until someone starts turning off the lights.
Even when the way is clear I'll hide the ointment under a couple one-pound bags of M&M's and maybe a six-pack of Hamm's. This is of course a pathetic attempt to deflect the checker's attention from the true nature, and location, of the affliction which prompted my visit.
As camouflage this tactic works about as well as when I used to try to convince my parents that I had cleaned my room when what I had actually done was toss all the dirty clothes and Nerf balls and books and Tootsie Roll wrappers into the closet.
Which is to say it didn't work at all.
It is the same at the grocery store. No matter how skillfully I arrange my items, the brief transaction will extend into what feels like an endless ordeal. Time really does cease when you're praying that the scanner works and the cashier won't have to holler into her microphone for a bag boy to see what the special is on suppositories.
A baby, though, changes everything.
Involve your infant in almost any situation and your instinctive inhibitions crumble, as if you had just downed a couple of martinis.
For instance, within a couple weeks after your baby arrives you will change a diaper — a pretty private event, when you think about it — no matter where you are.
Last Saturday my wife Lisa laid our daughter Olivia on a bench inside Autzen Stadium in Eugene and so bared Olivia's bottom, at least in theory, to 58,000 people.
So what. She's a baby. Her butt is cute; you can't not smile when you see it.
The next day, while I was hauling Olivia in a backpack, I walked into the men's restroom at a state park in the Columbia Gorge.
A few years from now I wouldn't let Olivia get within 10 feet of the place.
But with babies, as I said, the normal no longer applies.
It's a daunting responsibility to care for a helpless wee person, of course, but I think the experience is also quite liberating.
Starting around elementary school a person goes through a lot of years afraid to acknowledge, much less mention, the manner in which we humans rid ourselves of our bodily wastes.
And when we do admit that these processes happen that's the sort of term we use — bodily wastes. It's as though we were talking about a chemistry experiment.
But then you and your spouse bring your baby home and suddenly your favorite subjects are pee and poop.
You even celebrate when you fold back the diaper and realize your offspring has produced a particularly impressive specimen.
You run to fetch the video camera.
You phone your parents.
It's as if the child had won the national spelling bee, or scored a game-winning touchdown.
Instead of chatting about work or the weather you discuss with your spouse the texture and the viscosity of your newborn's bowel movements, rather like a pair of hunters who meet in the woods and compare the spoor they've seen.
You are disappointed when a diaper is soggy but not otherwise soiled.
All this sounds silly, I suppose. A little crazy, even.
But if you think about it the parents of a newborn haven't much else to go on.
Parents have an innate need to rejoice in all that their little miracle does, yet for some months the pickings are, well, slim. Show that Baby Einstein video as often as you like, but the kid's not going to solve algebraic equations at nine weeks.
And so diaper changes, basically by default, become prominent events, milestones of a sort.
I guess a parent ought to just enjoy this first stage of many.
Sure it is that some day you will reminisce, nostalgic and sad, about those distant times when nothing was so important as pulling off those sticky little strips and seeing how well the Butt Paste is doing with that pesky rash.

Favors 'programs…informed by those affected whom we seek to empower'
Editor's Note: In September, 2013, Darren Walker (DW) became the second African American and 10th president of the Ford Foundation, America's second largest philanthropy organization with $500 million in annual giving. After a stint in international law and banking, Walker served as the COO of a nonprofit agency in New York before moving to the foundation world, first arriving at the Rockefeller Foundation before being tapped to fill a vice president slot at Ford in 2010. He was interviewed in his New York office by Khalil Abdullah, national reporter for New America Media (NAM). NAM: What excites you most about taking on the presidency of the Ford Foundation?

Jennifer Holder's Bio
I have a Bachelor's in Journalism from Middle Tennessee State University. I've written for Brokelyn.com and Who Ate the Big Apple? I sporadically update my personal travel blog, BRB NYC, and check out my Flickr page while you're at it.
My byline has appeared on Brokelyn.com, a website dedicated to living cheaply in Brooklyn, New York. I lived there for three years, navigating the ends and outs of living frugally while still experiencing all New York has to offer. This meant sleeping in living rooms, never cutting my hair, and keeping up with everything cheap or free. Last year, I lived in New Zealand, where I learned how to successfully travel on a tight budget. I've visited many countries, and search on a daily basis for deals and tips for how to visit many, many more.
I currently live in Chattanooga, Tenn., and work for Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise, a non-profit that assists lower income residents with foreclosure prevention, first-time homebuying, and home improvement projects.

Written by: Gregory Korte, USA TODAY
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to authorize President Obama to use limited force against Syria Wednesday, after adopting amendments from Sen. John McCain designed to "change the military equation on the battlefield."
The Senate resolution would limit hostilities to 60 or 90 days, narrow the conflict to Syria's borders and prohibit U.S. troops on Syrian soil. McCain's amendments didn't change that scope, but made clear that the end goal should be "a negotiated settlement that ends the conflict and leads to a democratic government in Syria."
The vote was 10-7.
The committee's consensus followed closed-door meetings Wednesday morning, which delayed the start of the committee's meeting by nearly three hours.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted no, and unsuccessfully sought an amendment that would reaffirm Congress's preeminent role in declaring war, as reflected in the 1973 War Powers Act. "The constitution doesn't really differentiate between big wars and small wars," he said. The committee left the constitutional issue unresolved, tabling Paul's amendment by a 14-5 vote.
Paul remains a staunch opponent of an attack on Syria, but said any suggestion that he would filibuster the resolution was "a misinterpretation by the media."
The committee also rejected an amendment by Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., that would have prohibited air and naval forces from being put into Syrian waters or air space. In the end, Udall was the only one to support it. "If we start down this road, we're going to be running the campaign from here, and as smart as we are, we're not that smart," McCain said.
McCain's amendment was co-sponsored by Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., who emphasized that the language would not change the scope of the authority Congress was giving the president, but would help frame the policy behind it. The committee approved those amendments by a voice vote.
Administration officials have been arguing to Congress that "regime change" would not be the goal of U.S. military operations in Syria.
McCain is considered a critical vote on the Syria resolution, so much so that President Obama met privately Monday with McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to discuss the administration's broader strategy in Syria.
A full Senate vote is the next step. That is expected to happen next week.
