Shirin Ebadi won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2003 for risking her life to defend victims of political violence in Iran. On December 28, amid a crackdown on anti-government protesters, her sister Nushin Ebadi—a professor of dentistry who is not politically active—was detained by Iranian intelligence officials in what may have been a bid to intimidate Ebadi, a human rights lawyer and campaigner for democracy, into halting her work. In this chilling excerpt from her 2006 memoir, Iran Awakening: A Memoir of Revolution and Hope, Ebadi recalls the frightening details of her own arrest in 2000.
My Advance Warning
When you are about to be arrested in the Islamic Republic of Iran, you get advance warning in the press. Just as you might turn to a certain page for the week's weather forecast, you can scan the front page of two or three hard-line papers as a guide to whose arrest is on the way. If the headlines fall below the fold or appear intermittently, the handcuffs are a good two or three weeks away. If the libel against you is making the front page every day, if the fury has become palpable in the top headlines, you know you should pack your overnight bag.
The hard-line apparatus is media savvy. It sends out the equivalent of press releases early, to ensure that Western media outlets can catch the news. But it forgets to embargo their release until the actual hour of the arrest — which is how phone calls such as one I received early one morning come to pass.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hello?" repeated the caller. "Who is this?"
"This is Shirin Ebadi."
"Mrs. Ebadi! I'm so happy to hear your voice! We received a telex earlier saying you had been arrested…."
"Really? You don't say…."
That day the phone did not stop ringing. For hours I repeated over and over to journalists that I was not in prison. Yet. My sister called, after hearing a news bulletin on a Persian-language European radio station. "It's all a mistake," I assured her.
The Worst Phone Call of My Life
At 5:00 that afternoon, June 28, 2000, the phone call I had been waiting for finally came. "Please report to Branch 16 of the Tehran General Court," the caller said.
As I made a last-minute survey of the apartment, checking to be sure I had packed my blood-pressure medication and an extra toothbrush, I convinced myself I would be back soon. "Your father and I have a meeting this evening," I called out to my two teenage daughters, who were watching television in the living room. "Order yourselves a pizza for dinner." I was anxious that my husband, Javad, not linger too long at the ministry, where I had been ordered to report, in case our daughters started to worry.
The session with the court judge lasted 20 minutes. He promised to alert my husband, who I presumed was waiting outside, that I had been taken to prison. The guards led me through a back door to a parking lot. It was quite late, after 10, and the fluorescent streetlights bathed the parking lot in a strange orange glow. The traffic had slowed by that hour, so it didn't take long to drive up the expressway, past the spiraling twin minarets of the new praying grounds. The driver stopped at a kiosk along the way and bought me a soda. My mouth had gone dry.
My First Moments in Evin
The prison known as Evin is tucked away on the side of an expressway in northern Tehran. It is one of the few institutions in Iran whose reputation has passed unchanged from the shah's regime to the Islamic Republic. With its iron walls and low-slung architecture, the prison holds a grim reputation for having been the scene of thousands of executions since the revolution. The name Evin conjures images of basement interrogation chambers and long rows of dank, narrow solitary cells, and occupies perhaps the darkest corner of the Iranian imagination.
I was wholly unprepared for the first question I was asked when I arrived:
"Are you here for a moral offense?"
Women who are brought to Evin after dark are typically prostitutes. After a second of shock, I realized that the prison guard assumed that this might be the case with me.
"No! What are you talking about? My offense is political!" This reminded me of a joke we used to tell whose punch line was "My crime is political." I started to laugh, which incensed the prison official no end. "Why are you laughing?" he demanded.
"My crime is political," I kept repeating, my laughter bordering on hysteria. He waited for me to compose myself, then looked away in disgust when he saw that I could not.
"Just write down anything, and take her away."
A female guard guided me down a long corridor, to what she called her best cell. It was covered in filth, and the sink had no running water. Dirt and rust rimmed the metal toilet in the corner.
"Is there a better one?" I asked tentatively. He let me peer into three others, and I realized grimly that mine was indeed the best. Unable to work up the courage to go into it, I sat hunched in the corridor. A few female prisoners passed by on the way to washing their dishes. "What are you in for?" they asked.
Blemishing the Revolution
I was in for "blemishing the revolution" by videotaping the testimony of a witness who claimed to have been a member of a violent paramilitary group. (The hard-line forces in Iran used such groups to put down unrest without involving the police.) He had come to my office offering firsthand information about this group, which had carried out a brutal attack on a client of mine. His offer seemed too good to be true — information about paramilitaries is almost impossible to come by. So I taped his testimony even though I suspected it might be a trap. Later I decided I didn't want the tape in my hands and left it with the office of the deputy interior minister. Shortly afterward, stories about the tape, which I was accused of fabricating, began appearing in the newspapers.
The press dubbed it "the case of the tape makers." So when my fellow prisoners asked what I was in for, I whispered, "The tape makers."
"Really? What was it called?" one woman asked. "How much did you get paid? Was the director nice?"
"Oh my goodness," I thought, "they think I'm here for making a porn movie."
A bit later, the prison doctor stopped by to measure my blood pressure. When he left, clanging the door behind him, I gazed at the pocked, stained walls of my cell and felt all of the anxiety of the previous weeks slowly ebbing away. I had no recourse to anyone or anything, I realized, except God. "I've done everything I could do," I whispered, "and now it's Your turn." Then I made a pillow out of my bag, pulled my chador over me, and fell asleep.
My Second Day in Evin
The clank of the metal breakfast tray woke me up. A piece of bread, a small square of salty cheese, and some tea. A guard rapped on my door and summoned me to be properly checked in. She tossed me a prison chador — blue, with a mocking pattern of the scales of justice — and told me to follow her. Down in the administrative office, they fingerprinted me, hung a numbered tag around my head, and took mug shots. One of the guards asked me, "So what do you play?" In Iran, when someone is arrested, their house is also raided for evidence. Since some of the ayatollahs consider playing musical instruments immoral, I thought they had found the girls' piano or my husband's sitar and were trying to add playing music to the list of my offenses. "I don't play anything," I sniffed.
"Stop fooling around," the guard snapped. "We're already tired of your games from last night. Now, I'm asking you again: What do you play?" "The piano belongs to my daughters," I said. "Not everyone is musically inclined, you know."
The guard who had escorted me here caught the misunderstanding and, with a faint smile, explained to the first guard why I had been arrested.
Again, the truth dawned on me. He had thought I was a drug addict! In Persian, "What do you play?" also means "What do you take?" — as in drugs. He had assumed I was high last night, to have laughed so hysterically. Prostitute, porn star, drug addict. Did no one in this prison think a woman could be a prisoner of conscience?
Changing Spaces
After the booking, I was taken to a new cell. It was no upgrade, but at least the guards were kinder, and I noticed that they were treating me specially. They scooped out bowls of food from a huge pot for the other inmates, but they served me a special tray of chelo-kabob (meat skewers over rice). I stared at the ceiling, then at the floor, until I felt myself going cross-eyed from boredom. So I started peeping through the little hole in the door. One of the prisoners had her child with her, and she was playing in the hall, entertaining the guards.
The guards, it turned out, all had college degrees, with backgrounds in juvenile reform. They knew of a children's rights organization I had helped found, and later on, when they discovered the connection, they turned even more respectful and sweet. They sneaked me into the prison library so I could get some books. (It was technically reserved for male inmates; even here, we were second-class.) They brought me fresh clothes. But they couldn't protect me from the luridness of the night.
Many of the prisoners in my ward were drug addicts who had been brought there to quit their addiction without the aid of any detoxification drugs. They howled and screeched through the night, horrible screams that reverberated through the walls. When the guards began feeling cozy with me, they would sometimes come and sit in my cell to complain about their jobs. I sympathized. It was tough work. But at least they got to go home after their shift.
My Thoughts on Prison
It was so odd to me, how the rhythm of prison life became familiar. The personality quirks of the guards; the dank, dusty smell of the cells — even the howls of the addicts seemed normal to me after a couple of days. On the third day, a young man visited my cell and accused me of trying to pass a phone number out of prison. "I've done no such thing," I said politely. He grew furious and searched my bag, with rough, jerky movements. I was dumbfounded. The prison guard, an affectionate woman whom I had gotten to know a little, came to my cell afterward. "Why the hell didn't you defend yourself?" she demanded, her eyes full of reproach. "What kind of damn law school did you go to? What's the point of all that education if you just sit there silently?"
I said nothing, just closed my eyes. I was too worn out to argue with her, too dejected to explain that a legal defense is useful only in places where due process is respected. She touched my shoulder, sighed softly, told me to trust in God and let me be. Later that night, a sharp rap on the door jolted me from my half-conscious stupor. "Get ready. You're being sent to another prison," a woman's voice announced from the other side of the door. Suddenly, all the fear I had managed to fight back since arriving at Evin rushed over me at once. As I picked up my bag with trembling fingers, snatches of all the reports I had ever read about prison torture began flashing through my mind. I knew they wouldn't dare rape me. But they could lash my bare feet with electric cables until I "confessed," until I said, "Yes, I, Shirin Ebadi, falsified propaganda against the Islamic Republic."
"Where are you taking me?" I asked. Silence. "Please, can you just tell me where we're going?" What if they were taking me to the dreaded place known by the ominous bland title of the Joint Committee? I'd heard that torture was rampant there.
No one would answer me. "Just walk," they said. At a dark courtyard in front of the prison block, a bus stood waiting. One of the guards tied a blindfold around my head and helped me onto the bus. We rumbled off, and I groped the seat beneath me, staring into the blackness of the folded cloth over my eyes. We seemed to be driving in circles (and in fact, we were — I later learned that we never left Evin). When we stopped, I stumbled out of the bus, my hands floating in front of me. "This way," someone said. I recognized the voice. It was Ali, my interrogator at the court. "We're convening a court session for you," he said. My hand was placed on the stump of what felt like a staff. "Follow me."
I followed. Vivid images of all the hideous things that could go wrong flitted through my mind. My mouth went dry, and I couldn't stay quiet. "You will have to answer on Judgment Day," I cried shrilly to Ali. "It is you who are the negligent one! You are my interrogator; you're supposed to investigate this. But instead of tracing who actually leaked the tape, you're charging me!" I was beside myself, fury and terror dissolving my inhibitions. I screamed, "I will never, ever forgive you on Judgment Day!"
Suddenly, the staff halted. "Take off the blindfold," Ali said. I blinked, my eyes adjusting to the dim light of a narrow hallway about the width of a large man's shoulders. Eight doors opened off the corridor, to eight solitary cells. "The water here is cleaner," he said. (The contaminated well water in the other ward had upset my stomach.) "The food is better, and no one will disturb you at night. You'll be much more comfortable," he promised.
"I think I would be more comfortable at home," I said sullenly. He turned on his heel, strode out of the hallway and locked the door behind him.
I began investigating my surroundings. There was no guard. I peered into each cell, all windowless, with grimy, cheap carpeting that had clearly gone unwashed for years. In one room, my eyes seized on a half-full pack of cheap Iranian cigarettes. I really, really wanted to smoke. I left a crumpled bill on the table — we were allowed to keep money to use at the prison sundries kiosk — and went foraging for matches. For half an hour, I inspected each cell, checking in corners, under the carpet, everywhere. Smoking is permitted in prison, but inmates aren't allowed to keep their own matches or lighters. You have to ask one of the guards to come light your cigarette for you. I wanted to smoke one of those cigarettes as badly as I had ever wanted anything, but I had promised myself I would never request anything in prison. It was a point of principle. I refused to need anything it was in their power to give. After another fruitless search, I threw the pack back on the table, curled up on the stinking floor, and went to sleep.
A Rude Awakening
The kick to my side was delivered to hurt, as well as to wake me up. "What are you doing here?" A stout woman with oily skin towered above me.
"I don't know," I said sleepily. "They brought me here last night."
"Well, this is the guard's room, so you can take yourself elsewhere."
"Fine," I said, gathering my things.
"What are you in for, anyway?" she asked with an offhand rudeness. None of your business, I wanted to retort. But I lectured myself: You're stuck here, you'll need to somehow win these awful people over. So I explained calmly.
"You're lying," she said, rummaging through my bag. She took away my clothes and tossed a smelly, stained chador in my direction.
"But… but… please give me my own clothes back."
"That's all you're going to get," she snapped.
Adjusting to My New "Life"
Later, when a doctor came to check my blood pressure again, I petitioned him for my own clothes and got them back. For some reason, it made a universe of difference, sitting in that cell in my own clean dress instead of in the foul, unwashed smock worn by a hundred wretched women.
I couldn't decide whether I preferred the old ward or the new. Here, the menu was improved. Chicken kabobs, schnitzel, nutritious stews, and (I was promised) an apple every 10 days! But the guards were enthusiastically ill-tempered, mean, and petty. There were four of them guarding just me, and they resented this fact greatly. "We are your prisoners," they liked to say. It was difficult to tell what time it was, since the naked light bulb hanging in my cell was always on and there were no windows. I was allowed no newspapers, no radio. Sometimes I would wake from a nap and wonder whether 10 minutes or 10 hours had passed. I began to go mad from the loneliness and silence. I missed my ex-neighbors' cursing and swearing, their middle-of-the-night howls for heroin.
But after a day, my agitation passed. Maybe prison isn't all that bad, I told myself. At least I don't have to think about mopping the floors or taking out the garbage. I don't need to worry about the article I promised to write or the trial I should be preparing for. No dinner to cook. No mortgage to pay.
My interrogations took place in a small room nearly filled by a dilapidated wooden table. The sessions lasted several hours, the circuitous questions repeated endlessly. The judge began each round with a sonorous recitation of Koranic verse.
What flustered me was not so much the interrogations but the slowing of time. Hours turned to days and days to weeks in the suffocating sameness of my cell. I prayed five times a day. I stretched. I attempted calisthenics.
My Day in Court
One morning the guard handing me breakfast said I should dress for my trial that day. The prospect of leaving the confines of the cellblock for anywhere at all shot my heart through with joy.
The moment we entered the courthouse, I was overwhelmed by an intense feeling of over stimulation. After being alone for the past 15 days, the throngs of people — well-wishers, journalists pushing against police officers to speak to me — flooded my senses with shouts and colors. Suddenly I heard my husband's voice. He pushed his way forward with the lawyer who would be representing me.
It turned out to be just a preliminary session. The man whose testimony I had videotaped, Amir Farshad, was put on the stand, and he courageously stayed loyal to the story he had told me. Then the court read the complaints of the plaintiffs, who were basically a selection of the extremist right, paramilitaries, and the hard-line press. At one point during Amir Farshad's testimony, the judge summoned Ali, the interrogator. "His testimony doesn't match the transcript of his interrogation," the judge said.
"Let me try to remind him," Ali replied.
As we were herded out of the courtroom, I caught sight of my teary-eyed sister pushing toward the front. She couldn't manage to get through the crush of people, but our eyes locked.
Ten More Days…
Ten more days in prison. Ten more days of clanking breakfast trays, of sullen guards smoking and despising me. Ten more days of trying to imagine the gentle, rocky slope of the Alborz Mountains, where my poet friend Simin Behbahani and I hiked each week, talking languorously while we scaled the mountain as teenagers scampered past us with their boom boxes and jaunty bandannas. We usually climbed to a particular summit and stopped for tea at its mountainside cafe, savoring the cool alpine air and the vista of a lush green gorge. Simin and I are kindred spirits; many of the themes of her poetry — women's suffering, the celebration of their rights and existence — inspire my own work. I tried to force more hours to pass by remembering her poems. The images came, of monsters soaring the sky in trails of smoke, of plundered mermaids.
In those last days in prison, I started to hallucinate. All my niggling physical ailments suddenly acted up. My hip pains, hypertension, heart palpitations — even my childhood stutter — returned. I despised my own weakness and tried not to complain. I just pressed my teeth together, flexed my fingers until the nails turned blue and bit back my groans. I tried to remember who had said, "We are not born to suffer." I couldn't, however, and my inability to recall made me terribly angry. I picked up a metal spoon and began trying to carve some words into the cell's cement wall: "We are born to suffer because we are born in the Third World. Space and time are imposed on us. There is nothing to do but stay patient."
I tried not to get too dreamy, so I would be crystal-sharp during the interrogations. It was not uncommon for the interrogating judge to bluff and corner you into implicating someone by suggesting that person had implicated you first. It's an unsubtle and classic ploy of interrogation; I managed to evade each attempt. Others involved in the case did not. One of them implicated me. I tried to convince myself not to judge him for this. Even hard-core political activists who've braced themselves for torture won't know until it comes to pass whether, or for how long, they can hold out.
The second session of the trial unfolded much like the first. At least this time, the court permitted my husband to speak to me for a few minutes in the hallway. "Do not, under any circumstances, let my mother or the girls visit me in prison," I said. I woke up every morning thinking about them, but I didn't want them to see me in a prison uniform, behind bars.
Finally Getting Out
On an indolent Thursday evening, as I lay restless on the soiled carpet of my cell, the guard rapped at my door and announced that I had a phone call. It was the judge presiding over my case, calling to say that 25 days after I had first passed through the iron gates of Evin Prison, I could be released on 20 million toman bail (about $25,000). Euphoric, I immediately dialed my home number and asked my husband to show up at the courthouse first thing Saturday morning with the deed to our house.
The next day, the hours crept by with agonizing slowness. When night fell, I lay on my back and let my mind wander. I thought of seeing my daughters again and of how relieved I was that they had been spared the sight of me in a dirty prison chador. I thought of the weekly hikes I would resume with my poet friend. I thought of what one of my clients once told me about the indispensability of prison. In Iran, he'd warned, unless you are punished before the public, everyone will assume that you collaborate with the regime.
When I woke up Saturday morning, I took a long look around the cell, whose contours I had memorized, and wondered how long it would take to forget the shapes of the stains, the graffiti carved on the walls. By nine a.m., having packed the five or so items that constituted my personal belongings, I sat ready on the cot, waiting eagerly for the guard's knock. At 5:00, it finally came. The burly guard, the one who had complained of being my prisoner, swung the cell door open and told me to follow her. She moved laboriously down the corridor, and I willed myself to stay at her pace, though my feet felt so light, I thought they might take off underneath me at any moment.
An ambulance with tinted windows idled in the prison courtyard. A prison official told me it would drop me off at a taxi service. Why an ambulance? The traffic in Tehran is unmoved by emergency vehicles, so surely not for the sake of transporting me more quickly. I thought it better not to ask questions and simply got in. As we rolled onto the crowded expressway, I gazed affectionately at the snarl of cars — bored drivers checking out those around them, dusty trucks loaded with fruit, playful comments painted on their sides — and thought, for the first time ever, that 6:00 traffic in Tehran was not without its charms.
Soon we reached the yawning juncture in north Tehran known as the Parkway intersection. While stopped at a red light, the driver called down to a taxi beside us and asked if the cabbie could take me home. The driver nodded, and I grabbed my bag and jumped out. "Are you ill, ma'am?" he asked, staring at me in his rearview mirror.
"No," I said, "I've just been released from prison!" He looked startled. "I'm not a thief or a criminal," I said. "I was a political prisoner."
My First Day Out
He studied my face closely, then exclaimed, "Hey! Aren't you Mrs. Ebadi?" When I said yes, he smiled brightly and congratulated me on being freed. After a polite two-minute wait, he launched into his own tale of woe. He had a master's degree in engineering and supplemented his tiny income by renting a friend's cab in the afternoon. He lamented the corruption and bribery, inflation and joblessness. After a while, he stopped checking to see if I was listening. He seemed even sadder than I was. I was eager to get home, but I could not resist stopping at one of the white kiosks along the way for newspapers, the daily ritual I had missed the most in prison. I surveyed the stacks — laid out on the sidewalk like a quilt, there were so many — with greedy eyes. I bought seven or eight, rolled them together, and pressed them tightly against my chest. As the taxi began the slow descent down my sloped street, I could see my relatives gathered outside the house, with a lamb ready for sacrifice. The driver rushed around to open my door and refused to take any money from me.
As I walked through the door, my daughters hurled themselves into my arms, squeezing me tight for a long minute. That night, we stayed up late, drinking round after round of tea. My husband placed before me a great stack of newspapers, all those printed during my time in prison, and I began rifling through them as the conversation buzzed around me. My daughters sat beside me, breathless from filling me in on all that had transpired while I had been gone. They were used to consulting with me on everything, from homework to friends to which way they should part their hair, and now they recounted all the decisions they had made in my absence.
They had also amassed messages from everyone who had called or faxed from around the world since the news of my imprisonment, and the bulk of the folder surprised me. My international reputation had grown slowly over many years, and it was not every day I had such a thick stack of messages to remind me just how far and wide it had spread.
Well past midnight, the relatives began leaving one by one, and a warm quiet descended on the living room where we sat. For years, I had made it a practice to keep the uglier side of my work out of the house. I never spoke much about my cases, for many of them involved defending victims of horrific violence, and I saw no reason why my daughters should be exposed to the painful details. Of course they overheard me giving interviews on the phone, and they knew my workdays were filled with trials and trips to prison to visit clients. But I felt it was important to draw boundaries around my work. Coming out of prison was just another, more challenging moment in a long-running effort to pretend I was a mom like all others. And the charges against me? They were ultimately overturned. The revolutionary court announced that since no one had officially been charged, the case was closed.

A 19-year-old Stuttgart man and a 16-year-old Stuttgart minor were injured after being shot early Sunday near J.B. Bryant Park.
According to the Stuttgart Police Department incident report, officers responded to Baptist Health Medical Center-Stuttgart at 3:30 a.m. after a gunshot victim was brought into the emergency room. SPD Ptl. Jeffery Bokker was speaking with nurses when the second victim was brought in.
According to Bokker, both victims were "riding around with some friends." The two went to the West First street area between Lowe and Buerkle streets because people were allegedly fighting.
"During the fight an unknown male driving a Honda car pulled up and got out with a shotgun," Bokker wrote in his report that was released Monday.
Both victims were running from the area through J.B. Bryant Park when they were shot. Both fell to the ground, but the minor managed to get back up and run to Cleveland Street where he was picked up. The minor was picked up and driven to his home and then transported to the hospital.
It is unknown how they second victim was transported to the hospital, according to SPD. No further information on the injuries is being released at this time. The investigation was turned over to the SPD Criminal Investigation Division. No further information is being released at this time due to the ongoing investigation.

Certifed Cheese Expert Matt Caputo says:
This week we are heading to Cadiz, Spain in the region of Andalucia. Characterized by its steep terrain and high rainfall, Andalucia has some pretty lush mountain forage and grassy lower lying pastures.
The indigenous species of Payoya goats were almost wiped off the Earth until a forward thinking association of 13 Andalucian farms got together in 1997 to preserve this heritage breed. Payoya produce less milk than other common Spanish breeds such as Malaga and Murcia-Granada, but they are well suited to express the unique Andalucian terroir in their rich fatty milk.
Montealva Joven is a 60 day aged natural, edible rind cheese with a paste that is at first chalky (in a good way). However, at room temperature it can be spread like thick peanut butter after some initial flaking. Of course spending a month in Caputo's cheese cave recovering from its Atlantic journey is what makes this texture really come out to play.
Flavors are similar to a very mild Chevre with faint hints of the sweet horseradish in English Cheddar and and raw broccoli in real French Brie. Overall, it is a mild and rich cheese but with a lot of depth and nuance.

Reviews for West Tennessee Corn Bread
"Very moist and delicious! I like that it is a 2 serving recipe , just right for my hubby and me."
"Delicious!! My Husband and I loved this corn bread. I made it just as it said to except for doubling it and baking it in a 9 inch cast iron pan. We will be enjoying this often!"
"Ok, ladies. I grew up in Memphis (that's as WEST Tennessee as you can get,) and I can truthfully say I never knew there was or was NOT a West TN way to make cornbread. Everyone's different and cornbread is the same way. Like anything else, there are always variations on old recipes and cornbread has been around for ages so it qualifies. As for this recipe, it turned out a little dry for my taste. I'll have to try to make some changes."
"I made this to go with our beef stew for last night's dinner. I like the fact that it is good for 2 people. I baked it as 6 large muffins reducing the times by half. We found it a bit dry but tasty. I will try again reducing the baking time next time. I had one this morning it was still good & will have the last two with my homemade soup for lunch. I did not notice that it was gluten free. I will make some for our annual bake sale! I agree that some people are too stuck in their ways. Change is good once in a while."
"I am gluten intolerant and this recipe is great. Thanks for sharing!"

Styles can change as fast as a Utah season. One week we may be sporting everything in aztec, and the next it may be fashion taboo. You just never know. As the old saying goes, "The only thing constant is change."
There are a few classic trends, however, that have proven reliable to see us not only through changing seasons, but through the years. Though the pieces they pop up on may change, just when you think these prints are going out of style, they make a strong comeback.
Left: Kimchi Blue Floral Legging, Urban Outfitters | Right: Femme Floral iPhone 5 case, Anthropologie
Maybe floral leggings and skinny jeans won't always be popular, but this print has been around for ages, on everything from dresses to handbags to accesories and more.
Left: Acne Alma Leopard Print pony bootie, Bastille | Right: Leopard Print Sweater, Forever 21
You may notice that some animal prints run stronger than others. Leopard is one that never seems to lose steam, while others may begin to wane in popularity.
Left: Classic Stripe Cardigan, Bohme | Right: 3/4 Sleeve shirt, Koo De Ker
No matter the boldness, thick or thin, stripes are a classic pattern that pairs well with everything and never goes out of style.

Feb. 25, 2011
TEMPE, Ariz. - After falling behind early, the Sun Devils were unable to rally back, falling to Delaware 7-3 on Friday night at Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark. The loss drops ASU to 3-1 on the year.
Starter Jake Barrett was roughed up in his second career start, allowing seven runs, four earned, on eight hits. He went four innings and was saddled with the loss, dropping him to 0-1 on the year.
The Blue Hens posted a six spot off Barrett in the second inning, three of which came after an error on Deven Marrero that happened with two outs. They would add another run in the fourth to go ahead 7-0.
The Devils chopped away at the lead in bottom of the fifth when Andrew Aplin hit a sacrifice fly to score Joey DeMichele and again in the eighth on a Marrero single to center.
But the Blue Hens pitching held, giving them the victory. Mark Lambson, brother of ASU reliever Mitchell Lambson, made his Arizona State debut, relieving Barrett in the fifth inning. He would dominate the Delaware hitters, not allowing a hit and striking out three over his five innings of work. He retired the first 11 batters he faced before allowing a walk, then did not allow another runner to reach.
Johnny Ruettiger had two hits and stole two bases, giving him seven steals on the year. Austin Barnes also added two hits.
The Sun Devils will host the Blue Hens in a doubleheader on Saturday with Game One starting at 12 p.m. The second game will begin 45 minutes following the first.

Civilization V is a much deeper, more difficult and better game than Civilization IV, here are some ways the series has improved:
Happiness is across your empire. No longer can you let your small cities wallow because unhappiness isn't affecting your big production cities. Once your empire is unhappy your production drops dramatically. If your citizens start clamouring for whales or wine or silk it's worth going out and trying to secure that resource just to make them happy.
Buildings take much longer to build. It used to be every city would have the same basic composition of buildings and some would even max out all the possible buildings you can build. Now, it's not worth it to build a granary & library & monument & temple & barracks in every single city as that would take far too long. Instead, you're forced to specialize your cities based on their surrounding terrain and position on the map with regards to your enemies.
Limited Resources: I can't stress this enough, it's so cool. Iron, horses, uranium etc. have to be secured, and not just one source either! It used to be every empire would find at least one iron, horse, oil etc, but now different deposits also have different quantities. For example I can secure an iron mine that only gives me 2 iron (hence I can only have 2 units that need iron!) or get a big one that's worth 6. This also makes city states important (since they can provide you with resources) and makes going to war over a resource a legitimate reason for warfare. This makes scouting important; if one guy is loaded with iron but no horses it'll drastically change the composition of your army. If you know that iron mine is worth 7 iron you can pre-preemptively take it out to prevent the enemy from building up his army. In Civ 4 by early mid game almost everyone has at least one mine of every crucial resource which takes away that strategic aspect.
Speaking of City States, it's EXTREMELY beneficial to accomplish missions for them. For example, 100 points for defending them from an attacker can give you (for example) +4 food in your capital and +2 food in every single on of your cities for 40 turns and +2 and +1 for 30 turns.
Technology trading: Now it costs 200 gold for each Civ to trade a random technology in 30 turns. No more bullying multiple Civs into trading techs for you, or getting an advanced tech and trading it to every single Civ for a bunch a stuff.
The Graphics: Well this is an obvious one, the graphics have been drasticly improved from the previous game, the game looks absolutely stunning in DirectX10/11 mode.

ZF-10354: Windows Azure tests cleanup
Currently, the windows azure tests impact the running of all Zend_Service_* tests when attempting to run via TestConfiguration.php.dist.
Issues: * Hard dependency on TestConfiguration.php.dist from test class needs to be removed * Suites should not take CLASS as a parameter * Running outside the phpunit executable is not fully supported in ZF so static code can be removed * Tests should be off by default, and those off should be marked as skipped (not not loaded). ** Test cases that are skippped should also skip the setup and teardown routine * A readme should be created so demonstrate how-to run these tests
Fixed in trunk in r22870, and in branch release 1.10 in r22871

Columbine survivor to Obama: You're wrong on gun control
In a letter to the president, Evan Todd asks: "Whose side are you on?"
A man who was wounded in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre has penned an open letter to President Barack Obama, saying the White House's proposed gun-control initiatives are woefully misguided and will do nothing to save lives.
In the frankly worded letter, published Wednesday by TheBlaze, Evan Todd offers a point-by-point rebuttal of Obama's proposals to curb gun violence following December's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Twenty children and six adults were killed in the massacre in Newtown, Conn.
"Mr. President, in theory, your initiatives and proposals sound warm and fuzzy but in reality they are far from what we need. Your initiatives seem to punish law-abiding American citizens and enable the murderers, thugs, and other lowlifes who wish to do harm to others," Todd wrote.
"Let me be clear: These ideas are the worst possible initiatives if you seriously care about saving lives and also upholding your oath of office. There is no dictate, law, or regulation that will stop bad things from happening and you know that. Yet you continue to push the rhetoric. Why?"
Todd was a 15-year-old sophomore at Columbine in 1999. On April 20 of that year, two teens cloaked in black trench coats and armed with multiple guns and bombs opened fire at the high school in Littleton, Colo. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 12 fellow students and a teacher and wounded 23 others before committing suicide in one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.
Todd was hiding under a desk in the library when one of the shooters fired his shotgun twice at it. Todd was hit by wood splinters and suffered wounds to his face and back. He says he talked the teen gunmen out of killing him before he managed to escape.

STORM: Making Cut is Tough But Not Impossible For Second-Round Picks
So, 13 players on the roster, 3 to cut this week.
Seems Poppens or Hampton will make the team.
What stinks, is because Bird is rehabbing with team staff, she counts on the roster, yet she won't play at all this year.
Good article - thanks for the link!
Saw this article on Facebook. I really hope for Poppens. If one of the girls makes it in the pros, I will try to start watching WNBA which I have never done before. No ISU, no watch. There, I hope that helps.
"Cómo te va", dijo el murguista a la muchacha. Que lo cortó con su mirada indiferente
Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada
Nuevamente... La princesa... Se perdía entre la gente (Jaime Roos)
Sounds like it may be tough to make the team but Pop never backed down before! Crossing our fingers and best of luck Iowa Girl!
One more cut to go. Storm waive Keisha Hampton and Samantha Mackay. I feel like Pop has a good chance!
Seattle Storm waives Samantha MacKay and Keisha Hampton | Love Women's Basketball
Check out this album. It was has some nice shots of Pop during her limited minutes against Tulsa. Sorry it is a huge album.
Major creeping to find this!
I'm guessing it comes down to Pop and Cierra Bravard (unless I missed it and Bravard was already cut). I think the Storm will keep Alysha Clark, and hopefully Pop. Bravard is a 6-4 forward out of Florida State. Hers and Pop's preseason stats for the 2 games are about equal, so not much to go on there. Hopefully, Pop is impressive and aggressive in practice. Maybe her experience playing Griner will help.
-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".

It should be a clear choice of Pop between these two. I think Bravard finished her career very strong after getting her body in better shape; so credit to her for that. But she is not the athlete that Pop is, and does not have the upside that Pop has for continued development. Given that much is said about the speed and physicality of the WNBA, it's hard to imagine Bravard's two inches in height beating out Pop's athleticism and tenacity.
Pop probably has more athleticism than any previous Cyclone to tryout for the WNBA. Her strength, quickness around the basket, and ability to run floor has to be keeping her in the mix. Plus she can now make a free throw. Alger probably sees a lot of upside there as well.
I think Pop's two biggest attributes are heart and a nasty streak.

I would agree with that. She would never complain about "thug ball," but instead she thrived in it. As far as athleticism, I think Brittany Wilkins was our most athletic post player. She also stayed the longest in the WNBA.
Still waiting. I'm nervous. This afternoon is the deadline when teams need to have 11 players.
:-( Seattle waives Chelsea Poppens, Tulsa waives Courtney Paris, Minnesota waives Shawnice Wilson | Love Women's Basketball
That blows
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
Is it just ISU players that get drafted and don't make the final cut, or is this the norm in the WNBA. So, Poppens gets drafted in the first round and all it gets her is an opportunity to tryout for one team? The WNBA draft seems pointless to me.

Educational Activities is developing the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program in IEEE. EPICS in IEEE, which was conceived and championed by IEEE 2007 President Leah Jamieson, is a program that organizes university and high-school students to work on engineering-related projects for local humanitarian organizations.
The purpose of the EPICS in IEEE program is to further incorporate EPICS into IEEE worldwide, by empowering student branches and IEEE GOLD groups to work with high school students on EPICS community service-related engineering projects, and by institutionalizing the program within IEEE. Through this worldwide expansion, Educational Activities will build a mechanism for sustaining and disseminating the EPICS model to other sections.
The desired outcomes of EPICS in IEEE include:
Working with the EPICS program at Purdue, Educational Activities will create a program that will impact communities around the world with the objective to:
There are over 50 projects occurring within EPICS in IEEE. You can read brief descriptions on the projects and view photos within the EPICS in IEEE Project Photos presentation (PPT, 893 KB).
The EPICS in IEEE program is now accepting applications. EPICS in IEEE awards grants to university student groups to work on socially innovative projects that may address local community-service needs such as access and abilities, education and outreach, environment, and human services. Projects must be submitted by an IEEE member and involve a non-profit organization partner. Collaboration with a local high school is also encouraged. Typical awards use IEEE funding for project related supplies (as opposed to personnel costs) with award amounts in the US$5,000 to US$10,000 range.
There is no deadline for applications. Applications are accepted throughout the year on a rolling basis. Apply today and help impact your community.

T'other day I swapped the jumpers between bass and mid/treble drivers on my Leemasfor 10mm earth cable, thinking that everyone raves about how getting rid of those crappy bits of brass will do wonders..
So after much faffing to get it in (fnurr), I switched on the system, and it soundedslightly more detailed, slightly more real, slightly less harsh. In other words it sounded absolutely grand.
However, after listening for a couple of hours it dawned on me that it had always sounded absolutely grand, and that there may not have been a difference at all - just a slightly dodgy audio memory.
So my point is, how real are minor tweaks? It took me about 10 minutes to change the jumpers, during which time the gear was switched off. Is audio memory to be trusted to that level of accuracy, or should I be wiring my whole system with 10mm earth, or go the whole hog and try and shoe-horn 16mm in?

Boulder High takes the win at Colorado High School MTB Championships
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Last weekend Colorado High School MTB held their State Championships in Fruita. MounainFlyer covered the event as highlighted below. While the final race was won by Fairview the overall Championship victory went to Boulder High. This is because in High School MTB they award the championship victory to the series winner, not to who wins the final race.
Check out Race #4 the Full Results and there are some Photos
For overall championship standings see these results
For the fourth and final race of the Colorado High School Cycling League's mountain bike race series, the dry dusty high desert north of Fruita provided an accommodating venue for 351 racers to contest the Colorado High School State Championships. It's worth noting that the Town of Fruita and Grand Junction BLM Field Office were awesome in partnering with the league to help make the race happen.
On Saturday morning race volunteers took to the desert to mark the course, and by afternoon the course was ready for racers to pre-ride it. While there were no significantly big climbs to bust up the race, there were numerous short punchy climbs to open a gap, and plenty of windswept sections that provided no shelter for lone breakaways. The 6.9 mile course featured 460 feet of climbing per lap, and consisted of double track and fast smooth singletrack which utilized some of the lower sections of the Chutes and Ladders trail and the Vegetarian Loop. Varsity Boys had an additional 1.3 mile loop per lap to ride for a total race distance of 24.6 miles.

It is almost mid-January, and I'm happy to report that I am finally getting my enthusiasm — or "mo jo" back — thanks to cleaning out my refrigerator today. Let me explain.
For me, starting a new year can often bring on the blues. While a jump start to the 2013 can be exhilarating, filled with new beginnings and opportunities, letting go of the year before sometimes makes me feel a little melancholy. I can even get a bit stressed about changes to come during the next 365 days.
While some are sticking to resolutions made at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, I am still feeling a little overwhelmed with life and its responsibilities in 2013. Other than the usual things on my "to do" list for the year (eat less, exercise more), I have not really taken the time to truly determine my personal goals for the year and how I might attain them.
I look around my house and see Christmas decorations that still need to be put away and find a residue of pine needles that have to be swept up (again). I know my floors should be mopped, and I make a list of other household chores I have been neglecting since I came down with the bug that people around town have been getting.
I open the cupboards and realize I am long overdue for a trip to Shop Rite. Stocking up at the Can-Can Sale makes me exhausted just thinking about it. So I resort to sending others for a quick shop here and there.
I jump from project to project, room to room, email to email. As a result, I don't feel like I have accomplished anything in an entire day. I think of my blog and realize I have not written since Christmas. I wonder whether I should change paths on my journey.
I open the refrigerator door and have a peek. Courageously, I peer into the covered bowls to find more than one science experiment — fuzzy, petrified leftovers I don't even recognize. There's also the half-eaten dessert wrapped in tin foil from who knows when and the brown lettuce in the bag that has turned to mush. There are spills of unknown sticky liquids.
I want to cry. Cleaning the fridge is long overdue, and because of that, the job seems overwhelming and impossible. I muster up the determination to say that if I can accomplish one thing today it is going to make my refrigerator sparkling clean.
Slowly I tackle each shelf, each bin, one at a time. I throw out shriveled up strawberries, half bottles of salad dressings I know we'll never use. I pay attention to the expiration dates on some of the jars lined up on my shelves.
I use elbow grease and cleaning products on the freezer too. I decide whether I'll ever serve those appetizers that were delicious once, but now have freezer burn. With good judgment, out they go.
By the end of the afternoon, my refrigerator is clean, and I am proud of myself. As each family member enters the kitchen, I make them stop and open the refrigerator. I expect an "atta girl" and actually get one from my 15-year-old daughter.
Over a celebratory diet soda, I reflect on today's exercise. I am pleased with the results. I am ready to tackle tomorrow and my next task. Who would have thought cleaning my refrigerator would help me get my "mo jo" back — one wipe at a time? I think I'm finally ready to embrace the new year!
Life Lessons learned from cleaning my refrigerator:
- Set an attainable goal(s).
- Stay focused.
- Hard work (elbow grease) will pay off in the end.
- Slow and steady wins the race, said the tortoise to the hare.
- Celebrate success and tell/show others.
- Get rid of it if it has been around for too long and starts to stink!
