Just Call Us Psychic: Colored Lashes Go Couture At Dior
Did we call it, or did we call it? Back in February, we told you we had an inkling that colored mascaras were on their way back in with the stylish elite, and now we get word, via Style.com, that rainbow lashes were all the rage at Dior's fall '12 couture show.
Blame the resurgence of a full-color fringe on the legendary Pat McGrath: She created a fantastical blue lash look on models at Stella McCartney back in March, and now she's up to her old tricks at Dior. McGrath went further down the rabbit hole this go round, using hot pink and lime, matching the lashes to the bright liner that rimmed models' eyes. To really make eyes pop, a thin line of silver shadow was added to the top inner corner of the eyes and white liner was used to rim the lower inner rim to help eyes appear more open.
We can't say we think we'll see Dior debuting a commercial version of this look anytime soon — although, with Raf Simons on board now and looking to make a splash, you never know what could happen. That said, we hope this just propels the colored-lash trend forward, and that we start to see more new, funky hues come fall. (Style.com)
What do you think of the Technicolor lash trend? And more realistically, are you a fan of colored mascaras or do you think they should have been left back in the '90s with NKOTB and babydoll dresses?

The Legal Theory Bookworm recommends The Missing American Jury: Restoring the Fundamental Constitutional Role of the Criminal, Civil, and Grand Juries by Suja A. Thomas. Here is a description:
Criminal, civil, and grand juries have disappeared from the American legal system. Over time, despite their significant presence in the Constitution, juries have been robbed of their power by the federal government and the states. For example, leveraging harsher criminal penalties, executive officials have forced criminal defendants into plea bargains, eliminating juries. Capping money awards, legislatures have stripped juries of their power to fix damages. Ordering summary judgment, judges dispose of civil cases without sending them to a jury. This is not what the founders intended. Examining the Constitution's text and historical sources, the book explores how the jury's authority has been taken and how it can be restored to its rightful, co-equal position as a 'branch' of government. Discussing the value of juries beyond the Constitution's requirements, the book also discusses the significance of juries world-wide and argues jury decision-making should be preferred over determinations by other governmental bodies.
And from the reviews:
"I strongly recommend this book. Professor Thomas shares the importance of our jury system. It's a right that you never think you will need ... until you do."--Mark Cuban, entrepreneur
"I have a great deal of respect for the work of American jurors, who are often the unsung heroes in our justice system. Professor Thomas highlights a very real problem - as the number of jury trials declines in favor of ever more specialist judges and alternative procedures, justice may not always be best served."--David Boies, lawyer in Bush v. Gore
"The Missing American Jury deserves attention from anyone concerned with the quality of civil and criminal justice in America today. Professor Thomas documents the decline in the use and power of criminal, civil, and grand juries and the adverse impact this has had on our processes of justice, and then presents a series of provocative proposals for restoring these juries to meaningful roles." --Wayne LaFave, University of Illinois, and author of Search and Seizure
"Thought-provoking and exhaustive, Professor Thomas's book takes us to first premises - the core of the right to a jury trial and its undermining by the courts in decisions big and small. It is an important work, a must-read for lawyers, students, citizens, and most important, judges!" --Nancy Gertner, Harvard University, and former federal judge
"The Missing American Jury offers a compelling portrait of the disturbing decline of the American jury, and what can be done to save this cherished democratic institution ... Professor Suja Thomas brilliantly integrates historic and legal sources along with empirical research to demonstrate the causes of the jury's decline. She then proposes a range of innovations designed to restore the jury's power, including informing judges about the reasoning behind jury verdicts and enlightening jurors about plea offers and sentencing ... Anyone who cares about the future of trial by jury should read this book." --Valerie P. Hans, Cornell University, and co-author of American Juries: The Verdict
"[T]he author makes the case that the jury has lost the fundamental role and power accorded to it by the Constitution and the English common law tradition. She deems this problematic because the erosion of the jury affords additional - and unconstitutional - power to the judiciary, legislature, and administrative agencies, thereby skewing the balance of powers ... Not only does this veer from the original intent of the country's founders, but it also subverts the American justice system because jury trials have become less frequent, permitting judges to co-opt power previously reserved for juries ... judges, legislators, and agencies have interests that may prejudice the outcomes of cases, while juries avert such biases because they are not swayed by money or elections. Verdict: this work is certain to enthrall legal scholars, particularly readers of Akhil Reed Amar's classics The Bill of Rights: Creation and Reconstruction and America's Constitution: A Biography."--The Library Journal
"More than any other modern scholar, Suja Thomas has made the case for restoring the jury to its original role as a critical institution for the preservation of liberty and democracy. The Missing American Jury makes a powerful case that the original meanings of Article III and the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Amendments have been ignored and distorted. This important book is essential reading for constitutional lawyers and scholars of both civil and criminal procedure."--Lawrence B. Solum, Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Law, Georgetown University, and editor of the Legal Theory Blog
"In recent years, Suja Thomas has provided a vitally important scholarly voice reminding us of the importance of the jury as part of our nation's adjudicatory structure. In this book, she makes her most important statement yet concerning the jury's centrality as part of the nation's government ... This is a thoughtful and provocative book and while some may disagree with its conclusions, no one will dispute the significance of its scholarly contribution." --Martin Redish, Louis and Harriet Ancel Professor of Law and Public Policy, Northwestern University
"Suja Thomas's new book is a forceful effort to restore the jury to its rightful place in the apparatus of governance in the United States. She argues persuasively that the Supreme Court and a wide array of other forces and factors have unjustly marginalized the jury and have torpedoed its proper Constitutional functions. Her book is essential reading for legal historians and for all who are concerned by the diminished role of the jury in American society." --James Oldham, St Thomas More Professor of Law and Legal History, Georgetown University

Charlene Nunley, director of the Franklin County Health Department, has been honored with the R.H. Hutcheson, Sr., M.D. award from the Tennessee Public Health Association. The award was presented at TPHA's annual meeting in Franklin in September. The Hutcheson Award is considered the highest award given by TPHA and is named in honor of Dr. R.H. Hutcheson, Sr., who was commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Health for several years. The Hutcheson Award is given to a person in public health who has made outstanding contributions to public health over a period of several years.
"Charlene is a strong leader and team player who gives 150 percent to everything she does," said Glenn Czarnecki, regional director for the Southeast Regional Health Office.
In addition to being the director of Franklin County Health Department, Ms. Nunley also directs the Grundy, Marion and Sequatchie County Health Departments. In that role, she has overseen the construction of three county health departments and an addition to a fourth county health department. She is always advocating for facility improvements to better serve the public.
Ms. Nunley is always ready to volunteer for Remote Area Medical Clinics organized by local Health Councils to provide free dental, vision and medical services to those in need. Because she realizes the value of education and awareness, she also assists with health education events such as the Incredible Baby Shower, Mountain Tops and Bottoms and Healthy Horizons.
"She is always willing to roll up her sleeves and do whatever it takes to improve the public's health," said Mr. Czarnecki. "Charlene is an incredible asset to the public health team and the residents of the four counties she serves."
The Tennessee Public Health Association has more than 1,200 members and is one of the largest affiliates of the American Public Health Association.

Not surprisingly, China is responding badly to the Pentagon's $6-billion arms sale to Taiwan. The Beijing government has suspended security exchanges with the Pentagon and promised to sanction American defense companies. Chinese scholars and other commentators see nefarious motives in the U.S. action and warn of negative consequences. Some call for tough retaliation. High dudgeon is in season. In Washington, some worry that Beijing will withdraw its cooperation on matters of real importance to the United States, such as Iran and North Korea.
Before we panic over the high-pitched Chinese reaction, it is worth remembering the reasons for the Obama administration's decision. What drives the U.S. defense support of Taiwan, including arms sales, is how the island's civilian and military leaders assess their security needs. That assessment, in turn, is shaped by China's military buildup as it affects Taiwan. In fact, that buildup has continued even though the threat that China has perceived from Taiwan has receded since Ma Ying-jeou became the island's president in May 2008. So the logic behind the sale is simple: China has increased the island's vulnerability even when it did not need to do so; at the request of Taiwan, the Obama administration seeks to reduce the island's insecurity.Some context is in order. Since the mid-1990s, relations across the Taiwan Strait deteriorated as each side feared that the other was preparing to challenge its fundamental interests. China feared that Taiwan's former leaders would go for full, legal independence. Taipei feared that Beijing would use its growing power to subordinate Taiwan. Each sought to counter the perceived plans of the other, which only intensified the mutual suspicion. As this vicious circle widened, Washington worried about the danger of a clash.Tensions have declined since Ma has chosen to address Taiwan's China challenge through engagement, and thereby improved China's strategic position. Oddly, the People's Liberation Army continues to procure and deploy equipment that puts Taiwan at risk. According to the annual Pentagon report on China's military power, Beijing each year probably adds 100 short- and medium-range missiles, which target Taiwan. Why China has not adjusted to the new, positive reality is puzzling. Is it because of rigid procurement schedules? Is it because civilian leaders cannot impose a change even when it makes policy sense? Or is it because China wishes to create the capacity to coerce and intimidate Taiwan? The answer is not clear.What is clear is that this trend is in no one's interests -- Taiwan's, China's or the United States'. Taiwan's leaders are unlikely to negotiate seriously on the issues on Beijing's agenda under a darkening cloud of possible coercion and intimidation. The Taiwanese will not continue to support pro-engagement leaders if they conclude that this policy has made Taiwan less secure. The U.S. will not benefit if mutual fear again pervades the Taiwan Strait. Hence, the Obama administration is right to enhance Taiwan's sense of security with the most recent arms sales. What are the costs to the U.S. for this decision? Beijing has focused so far on bilateral security ties, suspending military exchanges and dialogues, for example. This is Beijing's typical response to U.S. arms sales, and may be the way the regime shows the Chinese public that it has "done something" to resist the United States. Although these dialogues could be useful in reducing tensions, Beijing has not used them in that way, so the effect of dropping them is modest. The bigger question is whether Beijing's punishment will go further, such as refusing to cooperate with the U.S. on Iran and North Korea. Such cooperation has great promise as a central part of a positive U.S.-China agenda. Yet Beijing has been reluctant to get tough with either Tehran or Pyongyang. If its policies were more in line with U.S. interests, Washington might take Chinese sensitivities regarding Taiwan into consideration, at least in calibrating the timing of its arms sales decision.Chinese critics of U.S. arms sales tend to assume that Washington is using arms to block China's unification with Taiwan. Nothing could be further from the truth. U.S. support for Taiwan's defense is and should be a function of the island's sense of insecurity, which in turn is the result of China's policies. Chinese critics should examine how their government's own actions have fostered the very outcome they oppose.

The BIG EIGHT-OSubmitted by Dr. Joseph Hecht on Mon, 01/31/2011 - 6:45pm
Once again my childhood hero's birthday has rolled around and he's turned the calendar on quite a milestone.
Mr. Cub is Eighty Years Old today.
Once again my childhood hero's birthday has rolled around and he's turned the calendar on quite a milestone.
Mr. Cub is Eighty Years Old today.
Man, when you see that Augie Ojeda is 36 you know it's getting late.
The rush of major league prospect rankings are about to make their way out and MLB/MILB.com and Jonathon Mayo is the first out of the gate. OF Brett Jackson is the only Cub and is listed as the #46 best prospect in all of baseball. Just traded Cub, Chris Archer, finished one spot below Jackson at #47.
Some my own, some inspired by others...something to distract from the Jay Cutler bashing.
I'm planning on a series of articles to update our readers on some of the current concepts in pitcher related injuries and diagnoses that most fans have not heard much about.
We've all had our fill of reading about pitchers with rotator cuff and glenoid labrum tears. There are some interesting trends in sportsmedicine that have lead to changes in exercise programs throughout the majors and minors in an attempt to protect pitchers from a cascade of preventable injuries most fans don't know about.
Diagnoses such as:
•GIRD: (Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit...not to be confused with the stomach malady also known as GERD which Cubs fans get from watching too many losses). Pitching (both cocking phase and deceleration phase) leading to a tight or thickened posterior shoulder capsular ligament plus a loose anterior capsule and loss of internal rotation of the shoulder. Extra external rotation of the shoulder develops at the expense of internal rotation.
•Scapular Dyskinesia: Shoulder blade weakness with altered kinematics.
•Internal Impingement: Thought to be related to posterior shoulder contracture from GIRD with subsequent instability of the shoulder as the humeral head (ball of the shoulder joint) which shifts back/posteriorly and upward/superiorly). This is a different entity from subacromial or rotator cuff impingement which is more common and typically occurs from friction outside the shoulder joint.
...and finally connecting the dots, sorting out how the the injured or weakened shoulder (scapula) leads to severe strain on the elbow and tearing of the Ulnar Collateral Ligament (aka the Tommy John injury).
My attention to this topic started last summer, when I heard a remarkable interview on XM radio with renown Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Craig D. Morgan with hosts Jim Memolo and Rob Dibble. The focus of the interview was Stephen Strasburg's shoulder tightness and the subsequent ulnar collateral ligament elbow injury that lead to "Tommy John" reconstruction of that ligament last summer. Dr. Morgan said that he had predicted elbow problems in Strasburg by watching the way he held his shoulder.
More on how the arm bone is connected to the...after the jump.
Jonathan Mayo, MLB.com's minor league guy is running a list of top 10 prospects for each position in the minors leading up to his top 50 minor league prospects that will air on Tuesday on the MLB network. It appears he's gone through everything but the pitchers so far and two Cubs can be found - Brett Jackson and Josh Vitters.
According to an NFL draft analyst Tony Paulino and confirmed by Jim Callis of Baseball America, the Cubs have signed Matt Szczur. The deal is reportedly for $1.5M (triple their original offer) and he will not participate in the NFL draft of course.
As long as a 40-man roster spot and a no-trade clause don't come with it, sounds like a wise deal.
The Cubs traded Tom Gorzelanny to the Nationals yesterday for 3 minor leaguers. This will make the road to the rotation a little easier for Carlos Silva. Phew.
We've had a bit of a discussion lately about back-up catchers with the trading away of Robinson Chirinos, the signing of Max Ramirez and the head-scratching re-upping of Koyie Hill via the arbitraton process. Reader WISCGRAD put together a spreadsheet of catchers by Baseball Reference's WAR values which does include a defensive component.
ESPN's Bruce Levine reports that the Cubs have signed 34-year old free-agent OF Reed Johnson to a minor league contact with an invitation to Spring Training.
With yesterday's trade for Matt Garza, the by-product that caught my eye is the fact that the Cubs seem to have cornered the recent market on Ivy Leaguers. Fernando Perez studied creative writing and received a degree in American Studies at Columbia and now joins the exclusive Cub club of four.
Perez has published in Poetry Magazine.
Perez says he turns to poetry when he's "after displacement, contrast" from the game of baseball. "The thick wilderness," he continues, "of, say, late Ashbery can wrangle with the narrowness of competition."
From his Poetry Magazine article, titled: Para Rumbiar
Like poetry, baseball is a kind of counter culture. The (optional) isolation from the outside world (which I often opt for); the idleness about which—and out of which—so many poems are written or sung: I see this state of mind as a blessing.
...and if you haven't seen the Fernando Perez You Tube video on "The Working Poor" here's the link.
"nobody talks about the Fernando Perez(s), Jason Nix(s), Emilio Bonafacio(s), all these great players, playing for the minimum, that keep these guys (the stars like ARod) afloat."
Growing more Ivy, after the break...
UPDATE #2: Make it Archer, Guyer, Lee, Chirinos, Sam Fuld for Garza, Fernando Perez and and a minor league pitcher. Nothing is official yet according to Morosi.
UPDATE: Levine says it's Archer, Guyer, Lee, Chirinos, Sam Fuld for Garza, and a minor league outfielder and pitcher. I can't really evaluate the trade till we know the names the Cubs are getting.
Bruce Miles is reporting that the Cubs will send Chris Archer, Brandon Guyer, Hak-Ju Lee and Robinson Chirinos for Matt Garza, with possible other pieces still being involved. I realize as a fan of the Cubs I'm probably a little bias towards their own prospects, but that sounds like as good or better package than what the Royals just got for Zack Greinke.
Now I realize Greinke costs more than Garza at the moment, but in terms of talents, it's not even close. I suppose there's the worries over Greinke's social anxiety issues and whether he would approve a trade to the Cubs, but he seemed to just be interested in trying to win.
On the other hand, they're just prospects and only Archer and maybe Lee have much of a chance of being better than league average players. Folks and myself have freaked out before on trade packages including prospects to eventually discover those prospects end doing nothing. But man, it's quite the stomach punch if they do end up being good.
MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports that the Yankees have claimed RHP Brian Schlitter off waivers. The 25-year old Schlitter was dropped from the Cubs 40-man roster to make room for recently-signed free-agent Kerry Wood.
BA put out it's top 10 Cubs' prospects today. I usually put together the compilation of all the major lists, but don't quite have the time today. I'll try put together something later this week. To the rankings...
Alright, we all know Greg Maddux will get in the Hall of Fame on his first attempt in 2014. We all agree on this, right? There's not one person thas ever read this blog - that wasn't looking for porn by accident - that wouldn't cast a ballot in favor of Maddux if they were given a vote, right? So my question, which of the 539 or so voters are going to go down as the biggest assholes of all-time? I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, as the 2011 results are just about to come filing in, but I already know I'm going to be angry about it.
RYNO: With one exception, a player on an MLB DL can be traded. The only exception is during the waiver period that begins at 5 PM (Eastern) on July 31st.
NOTE: Because July 31st falls on a Sunday in 2016, the "non-waiver" trade deadline will be extended one day (to 4 PM Eastern on August 1st) in 2016 (only).
Across 6 different seasons (1128 PAs), Federowicz has demolished AAA pitching to the tune of a .910 OPS. Even though the eyeball test this year says he might be closer to the .542 OPS he's posted in only 298 MLB PAs, it's kind of surprising there isn't a single team out there willing to take a chance on him being an acceptable bat and plus defense catcher.
Weird. I respect Chapman's body of work, but I guess I don't value closers as much as Brennaman. Also, Schwarber can't be traded? For some reason I have it in my head you can't trade a guy on the DL.
Jesse Rogers [email protected]
Cubs catcher Tim Federowicz cleared waivers and is reporting back to Triple-A Iowa
@thekapman Marty Brennaman on trading Schwarber for Aroldis Chapman: "I would carry Schwarber on my back to NYC if I was getting Aroldis Chapman back."
Brian Peters @thekapman that is one DUMB mfer you're talking to, Kap.
The lineup 6-8 is looking a bit shaky.
Yeah, I have fond memories of old #28. He was a good field, no hit CF when he came up with the Mets, but later on in Chicago he had learned how to work the count and then demolish 3-2 fastballs. (Wish Javy Baez had the concept.) I remember, in '69 or '70, someone (maybe Durocher) saying that Hickman and Joe Torre were about the two best righty hitters in the league.
The Tim Federowicz DFA expires today (Monday 6/27) .
Unfortunately, Peralta is indeed an extreme flyball pitcher. Even when he was at his best (2011-14) he surrendered a lot of HR.
He has had significantly better success versus LH hitters than versus RH hitters, thanks to a plus-splitter. So he will probably be used like a LHRP (even though he is a RHP).
"is the wind blowing out or in?"
"get peralta up."
Joel Peralta was one of Maddon's bullpen guys in Tampa Bay.
Well there is no "You go, we go" without Fowler. The last week has showed how important he is to the Cubs.
I imagine the Cubs getting back on track once we get some DL players back, but hopefully sooner rather than later.
Well, there you have it. Bullpen fixed. Time to move onto the World Series.
I hope it is Jack Leathersich.
Hearing its Peralta....Joel Peralta? Ugh.

Mattress Company Owner Uses Billboards To Entice Manning To Sign With Cardinals
Published March 9, 2012
LOCAL ICON: In Indianapolis, Wall & McLaughlin cited sports marketing experts as saying that while Manning will "likely always be remembered as an Indianapolis Colt, his time as informal city representative is over," and it will be "up to Manning whether he resumes that role after his retirement." Manning "lent his name, image and voice to numerous civic and philanthropic efforts in the Indianapolis area." However, his "strong association with the city is likely to fade when he puts on" another team's uniform. The Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association "got Manning to narrate a promotional video about the city, which it has used the past two years." ICVA VP/Marketing Chris Gahl said that the association "planned to retire the video after Indianapolis hosted the Super Bowl in February." Sunrise Sports Group President David Morton said that Manning would be "prudent to lessen his public association with Indianapolis in order to further cultivate himself as a national-level spokesman for corporate brands" (IBJ.com, 3/8).

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an interface circuit for a serial bus, and more particularly, to an interface circuit for a serial bus for reducing leakage current.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A bus is used for transmitting data, information, addresses, or a clock between a master device and a slave device. There are two types of bus—serial and parallel. A serial bus can transmit a plurality of data simultaneously, and thus save more pins compared to the parallel bus. In the serial bus system, the master device (slave device) utilizes the interface circuit to output a single end logic signal, and the slave device (master device) determines a bit state of a received signal according to a logic level of the received signal.
Please refer to
Please refer to
Thus, when the data signal SDA operates at the maximum voltage level V1, the current IV2 operates at the maximum current level of I as well. This causes power consumption in the interface circuit 10. Furthermore, the master device 12 holds the data signal SDA at voltage level V1 during standby. In this situation, the current IV2 acts as a leakage current. Also, the Schmitt trigger 120 encounters the same leakage current situation.
It is therefore an objective of the present invention to provide an interface circuit for a serial bus for reducing leakage current.
The present invention discloses an interface circuit for a serial bus. The interface circuit includes a receiving terminal, an output terminal, a first switching circuit, a voltage source and a second switching circuit. The receiving terminal is used to receive an input signal. The output terminal is used for outputting a first voltage signal. The first switching circuit is coupled to the receiving terminal, the output terminal and a grounded terminal, and is used for determining a coupling relationship between the output terminal and the grounded terminal according to difference between the input signal and a grounding voltage provided by the grounded terminal. The voltage source is used for generating a voltage drop based on a driving voltage to provide a first voltage. The second switching circuit is coupled to the receiving terminal, the first switching circuit, the output terminal and the voltage source, and used for determining a coupling relationship between the first switching circuit and the voltage source according to difference between the input signal and the first voltage.
These and other objectives of the present invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.
Please refer to
For example, when the difference between the input signal SIN and the grounding voltage VG is greater than a first predetermined value, the second switching circuit 320 conducts the connection between the output terminal OUT and the grounded terminal GND, otherwise cuts off the connection between the output terminal OUT and the grounded terminal GND. Similarly, when the difference between the input signal SIN and the first voltage V1 is less than a second predetermined value, the first switching circuit conducts the connection between the output terminal OUT and the voltage source 310, otherwise cuts off the connection between the output terminal OUT and the voltage source 310. The first predetermined value is not limited to be equal to the second predetermined value or not.
Please refer to
When the driving voltage V2 is greater than V1, those skilled in the art should adjust the voltage source 410 letting (V2−VD)<(V1+Vtp). When the driving voltage V2 is less than V1, the voltage drop VD is preferably as small as possible. Please refer to
As shown in
To further reduce the leakage current, an accelerating circuit is installed between the Schmitt trigger 120 and the output terminal OUT for adjusting and boosting the maximum signal level of the voltage signal Vx′ to the driving voltage V2. Please refer to
Please refer to
Please refer to
When the signal data SDA keeps staying at the high voltage level V1, if the control unit 800 detects the voltage signal Vx′ has stayed at the low voltage level for a time T, the control unit 800 determines that the interface circuit 80 has been in the standby mode, and then conducts the switch S1 and shuts the switch S2 off with the control signals VS1 and VS2. In this situation, the first voltage Vy drops down to (V2−VD) so the PMOS P1 is turned off, dissipating the leakage current (the current IV2′).
Please refer to
Please note that, in the interface circuits 40, 60 and 80, the voltage source 410 can be realized by a resistor, a diode and a PMOS. Those skilled in the art can control the threshold voltage of PMOS by adjusting the voltage drop and corresponding current appropriately.
In conclusion, the embodiments of the present invention control the threshold voltage of PMOS through voltage source and use the on-off relationship between PMOS and NMOS for the reduction of the leakage current. In addition, the logical level of the output signal is not affected.
Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention.
