(This is subject to change, but the launch window is open from November 25 to December 18, 2011.) The Curiosity rover will arrive on Mars in August 2012. The Curiosity rover will investigate whether Mars ever was (or is still today), a place where microbes could live. (Visit the mission webpage for more details: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/.)
See this post for ideas on engaging your community around this launch: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=256.
At the time of the rover's landing, a new Explore! module will be available on this website! The module will provide facilitator background information, resource lists, and hands-on activities for children (ages 8 to 13) to investigate how and why scientists search for past or present microbial life on Mars. Stay tuned for further updates about this module!

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA
EFF has asked the U.S. Copyright Office to declare that jailbreaking smartphones, tablets, and game consoles does not violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and there are only two days left to submit comments to the Copyright Office, or to sign on to letters supporting our exemption requests from video game system hacker bunnie Huang and "Everything is a Remix" filmmaker Kirby Ferguson. We've already heard from many device users who have spoken up to explain why installing the software they choose on the devices they own should stay legal.
Today the Ninth Circuit handed the Internet a bittersweet and crucial victory by affirming a district court's holding that the safe harbors created by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) protected Veoh, a now-defunct video hosting site, from copyright liability. The case has been pending since 2007, when Universal Music Group (UMG) sued Veoh based on allegedly infringing content in UMG music videos that Veoh users uploaded.
It's a hefty decision, but here are some highlights:
Proponents of the misguided Internet blacklist legislation — the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) — downplay the idea that the overbroad bills could be used for censorship. But one only needs to look at the way existing copyright laws have been abused to know there's serious cause for concern.
Yesterday, EFF asked the U.S. Copyright Office to grant an exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act for "jailbreaking" smart phones, tablets, and video game consoles. The exemptions are designed to dispel any legal clouds that might prevent users from running applications and operating systems that aren't approved by the device manufacturer. The exemptions stem from section 1201 of the DMCA, which prohibits circumvention of "a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title."
On the eve of the House Judiciary Committee's hearing on the Stop Internet Piracy Act—where five witnesses will appear in favor of the bill to just one against—a broad group of tech companies, lawmakers, experts, professors, and rights groups have come out against the bill.
The statements, written by people from a variety of backgrounds and political persuasions, incorporate many of the same broad themes: SOPA will threaten perfectly legal websites, stifle innovation, kill jobs, and substantially disrupt the infrastructure of the Internet. Here is a small sample of what they had to say:
A veritable Who's Who of tech giants—including Facebook, Google, Twitter, eBay, Yahoo, AOL and Mozilla—explicitly came out against both SOPA and PROTECT-IP in a letter to the ranking members of the House and Senate Judiciary committees:

ACA releases statement on Chip Timing System
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From ACA website
Everyone involved with the Superior Morgul Classic appreciates the participation and enthusiasm from our athletes and families over the weekend.
As many of you know, we are still working to create accurate results from the weekend. Overall Omnium results cannot be completed until this has happened.
Of course, the notion in the racing community is that "The chips system was in use, the results should be perfect." The reality is that no scoring system can create perfect results if the event's registration is not accurate. This simple concept defines the situation in which we find ourselves. We have a world class timing system that functions at a very high level. We do not have world class data being inputted into this system.
When this happens, especially at an event that had more than 1,700 athletes in 20+ categories, creating results reverts largely to hand scoring. And this takes time.
Other questions have been:
1. Why were the Superior time trial results so fast? Answer: the event was pre-registration only, and our officials could rely on the results generated by the timing company.
2. Why do we need bib numbers if we have chips? Answer: Chip data includes info on the rider as it relates to the ACA database. It does NOT include category data, as the majority of our athletes can choose one of multiple categories on race day. The bib number is linked to the start list for a particular event, and therefore imperative for scoring. Bib numbers are also the best form of identification in event of an accident during a race.
3. Why do we have a timing system? Answer: The timing system was purchased in order to provide deep, accurate, and timely scoring for all categories (in a larger effort to provide results and a racing experience that is similar to running, triathlon, or mountain bike races). Please note that all these types of events are much simpler to score than a road race or criterium. As everyone knows, this has not been an easy implementation, and I apologize for the confusion that is out there.
4. What do we do now? Answer: We have had a major development with the timing company, in that Orion (the timing company) has opened a North American office in Boulder, which is run by ACA member Paul de Curnou. With his background, attitude, and training, we have seen significant progress in our communication and ability to work with the vendor. In order to address the problems we have with the data being put into the timing software, Paul is working to create day-of registration software that will be shared at no charge with our race promoters. A beta version of this new product will be available in the next three months.
5. What can ACA members do? Answer: Well, you could go on 303 Cycling and anonymously post a lot of vitriol, or you could call me to get an idea of the whole picture. My number is 303-458-5538. The simplest things that ACA members can do is 1) pre-register, and 2) complete registration accurately and legibly.
6. What can I say? Answer: I want to thank the ACA community for your support during this time. We have seen quite a bit of change, and we are appreciative of each and every member. I want to apologize for the confusion that has existed over the last six months. We have been working to define our relationship with USAC and the data flow between our organizations, to refine our database given this new source of information, and to continue using the timing system, which relies on the database to produce results. It is a lot of challenge, and I apologize that we have not communicated as effectively as perhaps we need to.

Who is responsible for
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Who is responsible for correcting the problem within the ACA? My guess is that it is either the tech committee or that no one on ACA staff or board of directors has been given the responsibility. Perhaps it is the tech committee which wouldn't surprise me. Since the merger, they have pretty much established their incompentance when it comes to racing in Colorado.

BRAC Spending $30K to $40K more
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
BRAC is going to now spend another $30K to $40K more on the Chips for 2013. Seems to be a major disconnect between promoters wants and needs and BRAC Staff and BOD. Riders will have to get one at registration at every race that uses the system. If you don't remember to return it, then no results for you! What could go wrong?
Boulder Racing / WOL is promoting 14 days next year and are using other companies but they are still helping pay for the BRAC system. Wouldn't be surprised if they go independent of BRAC and maybe USAC next year.

Not much of a surprise since the BRAC leadership have shown themselves to be self serving and out of touch with the membership the last year and a half. Spending more on a system that hasn't proven to be successful doesn't make sense, but neither have those pushing this solution on many additional topics.

Actually, BRAC leadership put this issue up for a vote at the recent Annual meeting and the outcome was fairly strong to keep the system. BRAC at least acknowledged that one option was to shelve it, but that option didn't win.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
WOL and DBC would go independent the second the ACA tries to race fees to help pay for having to buy a new chip pool every 3-5 years. They stated at the meeting that the battery life only lasts 3-5 years. Where does the money come from when there's only an $11,000 surplus in the annual budget? Is the BOD thinking long term?

The threat and option for Boulder Racing/WOL to go independent is always there, but I know for a fact that they wouldn't want to screw over the riders who value national rankings and upgrades. The majority of cyclists would love it and Boulder Racing would make more money, yet they won't divide the community until pushed to a breaking point. Personally I'd love to see it happen. They have the infrastructure 100% in place to make that move tomorrow when it comes to insurance, timing, and the marketing database.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Oral cancer is cancer found in the oral cavity (the mouth area) and the oropharynx (the throat area at the back of the mouth). Oral cancer is estimated to be diagnosed in almost 35,310 US adults in 2008 according to the American Cancer Society.
The oral cavity includes:
The oropharynx includes:
The main causes of oral cancer are:
Other causes of oral cancer may include the following:
The following are the most common symptoms for oral cancer. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of oral cancer may resemble other disorders or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Oral tumors can develop anywhere in the oral cavity and oropharynx (or the back of the mouth where it connects with the throat). Some tumors are benign (non-cancerous), some may be precancerous (a condition that may become cancerous), while others may be cancerous. Different types of oral cancer may develop in different areas of the mouth and throat.
There are many forms of benign (non-cancerous) tumors that can appear in the oral cavity or oropharynx (in addition to other sites in/on the body), including:
Some benign tumors disappear on their own. Others may have to be removed surgically. Most benign tumors do not recur. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Two conditions in the mouth - leukoplakia and erythroplakia - actually can be precursors to cancer. Often caused by smoking or chewing tobacco, these (initially) benign conditions can occur anywhere in the mouth. Only a biopsy can determine whether precancerous cells (dysplasia) or cancer cells are present in a leukoplakia or erythroplakia.
Only 25 percent of leukoplakias develop into cancer. However, 70 percent of erythroplakias are found to be cancerous when a biopsy is performed, according to the American Cancer Society.
Treatment for leukoplakias or erythroplakias may include use of retinoids - medications which are related to vitamin A - to eliminate, reduce, and/or prevent dysplasia from forming.
Although there are several types of malignant oral cancers, more than 90 percent of all diagnosed oral cancers are squamous cell carcinoma.
A risk factor is anything that may increase a person's chance of developing a disease. It may be an activity, such as smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. Different diseases, including cancers, have different risk factors.
Although these factors can increase a person's risk, they do not necessarily cause the disease. Some people with one or more risk factors never develop the disease, while others develop disease and have no known risk factors.
But, knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease.
Although heredity also plays a factor, certain lifestyle habits and health conditions can increase a person's risk for developing oral cancer. These include, but are not limited to:
It is important to detect oral cancer as early as possible, because treatment works best before the disease has spread. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and American Cancer Society (ACS) encourage people to take an active role in the early detection of oral cancer by performing monthly self-examinations. The Oral Health Education Foundation recommends the following steps (below) when examining your mouth. Take special note of any red or white patches, lumps or thickening of skin, tissue, or gums, a sore that either does not heal properly (after a 1-2 week period), or a sore that tends to bleed easily or excessively. In addition, be sure to take note of a persistent sore throat, hoarseness, or difficulty maneuvering the jaw during chewing or swallowing. Be sure to consult your physician right away if any of these symptoms are present.
Wearing lip balm that contains a sunscreen or sunscreen lotion on the lips may help protect against cancer on the lip.
Regular dental checkups that include an examination of the entire mouth are also important in the early detection of oral cancer or precancerous conditions. Your physician should also check your mouth as part of a routine physical exam.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for oral cancer may include one or more of the following:
Once a diagnosis is made, the cancer will be staged (to determine the extent of the disease) before a treatment plan is established.
Specific treatment for oral cancer will be determined by your physician based on:
Treatment may include:
If surgery is needed to treat the oral cancer, the National Cancer Institute recommends asking the following questions:
Side effects of treatment for oral cancer vary, depending on the type of treatment and the area being treated. Side effects can be temporary or permanent. The following are some of the more common side effects of oral cancer treatment:
Depending on the type of treatment, other side effects may include:
Rehabilitation may vary from person to person depending on the type of oral cancer treatment, and the location and extent of the cancer. Rehabilitation may include:

James Leutze - History and N.C. voting laws
Published: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 11:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 11:33 a.m.
To me, as a former educator, the attack on education being mounted by the Republicans in Raleigh is particularly alarming. As an example of how a lack of education can lead to wrong conclusions, I refer to a the Aug. 28 letter "Voter ID flap just baseless squawking."
The writer stated, "Democrats would have us keep 1776 standards of voting when all you had to do was sign an "X" for your name." He goes on to say that it is wrong to assume that the new laws are racist.
Voting rights have been hard won in North Carolina. Until the N.C. Constitution of 1835, there was a property qualification for white male and free black male and Indian voters. The same constitution disenfranchised all black and Indian voters but reduced the property qualification for white male voters.
Not until the end of the Civil War was North Carolina forced to accept the 14th and 15th Amendments to the U. S. Constitution granting voting rights to all male citizens. Violently opposed for the next 30 years by the KKK and the Red Shirts, they finally got their way in the 1898 North Carolina Constitution which put virtually insurmountable barriers between blacks and the voting booth. There is no question that these folks were racist.
Not until 1964 was North Carolina forced by federal law to grant blacks the unencumbered right to vote – almost 100 years after the Civil War. And it was not until 1920 that women won the suffrage by way of the 19th Amendment. North Carolina voted against the 19th Amendment, but enough other states acquiesced to make it law.
Not until 1930 did federal law grant full citizenship rights to Cherokee Indians in North Carolina. North Carolina did not formally ratify the 19th Amendment until 1971.
Knowing history is enlightening as well as a building block in making intelligent decisions. Many newcomers and other residents are unaware of North Carolina's checkered history when it comes to impeding the right to vote. It's a cliché, but maybe with good reason: Those who don't remember their history are doomed to repeat it.

During the long career of Les Paul, the search for a readily identifiable sound, a unique musical identity, has gone hand in hand with technological experimentation. As Rolling Stone writer Chet Flippo observed in 1975, Paul regarded every guitar he owned as "an imperfect object to be rebuilt," a quality which led Flippo to further comment, "That's why Les Paul may well be the most important figure in popular music in the last two-and-a-half decades. He is not interested in music per se; he is an electronics technician and inventor (self taught) whose mania is music delivery systems."
What connects Les Paul's endeavors as an inventor with his music and his performing career is an overriding preoccupation with sound, and specifically with the sound of the electric guitar. Whereas jazz great and electric guitar pioneer Charlie Christian was lauded for playing guitar "like a horn," it was largely through the efforts of Les Paul that the electric guitar assumed its own distinctive sound. In his efforts to master both the technical elements of guitar playing and the technological trappings of his instrument, Paul combined technological and musical creativity in a way that few other twentieth century musicians could match. And his namesake Gibson Les Paul guitar is unquestionably one of the most recognizable and beloved instruments of the past six decades.
The sound that Paul pursued through his development of the solid body electric guitar is best termed tonal purity, a sound marked by a lack of distortion or any extraneous noise. This quest for tonal purity complemented Paul's musical taste for unfettered melody. The music that Paul recorded with his wife and long-time performing partner Mary Ford was pop music, designed to have the broadest possible appeal. Melding Ford's voice with Paul's guitar, both recorded in rich layers through Paul's early mastery of multiple track recording techniques, the pair scored some of the biggest hits of the immediate pre-rock 'n' roll era of the early 1950s – most notably "How High the Moon" and "Vaya Con Dios" – while Paul's sonic inventiveness set the stage for the sound of popular music to come.
Born Lester Polfuss on June 9, 1915 in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Les Paul came of age during a time when Americans held a broad and powerful enthusiasm for technology. Like thousands upon thousands of other boys and young men, Paul devoted himself to his crystal radio set, through which his interest in electronics grew. He built his first set some time around 1927. Only a couple of years later he constructed his first amplified guitar using pieces "borrowed" from his father's Kolster radio-phono set, so that he could be better heard by the audiences he entertained in the parking lot at Beekman's barbecue stand in Waukesha.
Some time in the early 1930s, Paul's idea for a solid body electric guitar began to crystallize. Leading a dual life as a jazz and hillbilly musician (under the pseudonym Rhubarb Red) over the Chicago radio airwaves, Paul came to recognize that "when you've got the top [of the guitar] vibrating and a string vibrating, you've got a conflict. One of them has got to stop, and it can't be the string, because that's making the sound." Paul's realization was based on the fact that early electric guitars were noisy creatures. The hollow body of the guitar gave rise to unwanted resonances that were difficult to stifle using the standard pickups of the era. For Paul, the goal became to get rid of these noisy intrusions; and the solution he arrived at was to create a guitar that exchanged the standard hollow body for a solid plank of wood.
In 1941 Paul constructed "the Log," a solid body prototype that remains one of the most unusual instruments in electric guitar history. The Log was essentially a 4 x 4" strip of wood with an Epiphone neck and pickups designed by Paul, but the instrument was so unsightly that he added "wings" cut from the sides of an acoustic jazz guitar to normalize its appearance. Strange though it may have looked, the Log was a perfectly functional instrument with a rich tone and greater sustain than other available guitars of the period. Over the years Paul used it to record a number of songs; and, recognizing its design as something of a breakthrough in terms of sound, in 1946 he tried to sell the concept behind it to the Gibson company – and was flatly refused by M.H. Berlin, head of Gibson's parent corporation, Chicago Musical Instruments. At the time there was no perceived market for a solid body guitar, especially not one that looked like a "broomstick" with a pickup. It would be another six years before the Gibson Les Paul would see the light of day and become – along with Fender's Telecaster and Stratocaster models – the standard against which all other solid body electric guitars were measured.
As Paul refined the technology of the electric guitar, he also made the instrument widely popular and accessible. This he accomplished through his recording career and the success he achieved alone and in tandem with Mary Ford. It was in his recordings that the sound Paul had been pursuing in his head assumed realization and became a source of enjoyment for millions of listeners. And it was in making his recordings that Paul came upon his other great innovation, his mastery of multiple track recording.
Paul's recording methods, like his solid body innovations, first emerged during the 1930s. He played along with the sound of his own guitar in private for almost a decade before applying some of the techniques he'd developed to a hit Bing Crosby song, "It's Been a Long, Long Time," which became a number one single in 1945. At Crosby's encouragement, Paul began to focus more attention upon his recording experiments, building a small studio in the garage of his Hollywood home. Here, Paul devised what became known as his "new sound," testing different styles of microphone placement, altering the tape speed of his recording equipment to achieve unique sonic effects, and most significantly, producing overdubbed recordings of considerable clarity and lack of surface noise. Paul recorded tracks onto shellac disks (this was before tape was a readily available medium), and overlaid each new track onto the previous ones, so that no single track was retrievable once recorded. A mistake meant starting over from scratch. As Paul put it, "You can never go back – you can only keep going on. So you just don't make a mistake."
The first fruit of his experimentation came in 1947. "Lover," a Rodgers and Hart composition, became in Paul's hands a multi-tracked orchestra of eight guitars, all played by Paul. Describing the piece, Paul explained that "until 'Lover,' I'd never been able to combine all my inventions and recording techniques into one bag of tricks – to use the delay, echo, reverb, phasing, flanging, sped-up sounds, muted picking and everything else on a multiple recording." On the strength of the track, he secured a contract with Capitol records, whose A&R head Jim Conkling expressed amazement at Paul's feats as a recording engineer: "He was feeding in the bass end and top end of the scale all at the same time, which was a feat I never understood." Capitol's own recording engineers were similarly puzzled, and Paul's technological expertise became a key selling point as he began his career with the company.
Not until 1949 did Paul begin to record with Ford, after an automobile accident had left him badly injured and his recording career hanging in the balance. Ford's smooth, crooning vocal style suited Paul's pure guitar tone. Together they projected a sound that was warm, intimate, and inviting, as though they were not on stage but in a room with the listener, sharing something personal. This element of intimate sound matched the image that the couple portrayed. As early as 1949, they appeared on radio as Les Paul and Mary Ford "at home," a motif that would define their public image throughout the 1950s. For Paul and Ford, home was at once that "intimate" space where romantic sentiment could flourish and the place where they made their music, using an expanded home studio in their Mahwah, New Jersey residence. Home was also the setting within which most of their audience would encounter them. Performing over radio and television, or having their records played over hi-fidelity sound systems, Les and Mary would play from one home to another, publicly transmitting a version of domestic life built around the incorporation of electric technologies into the comfortable privacy of the middle-class home.
The ingenious use of electricity was at the core of Les Paul's career as musician and inventor. In Paul's hands, the electric guitar became just that, an instrument capable of producing an electronic tone relatively independent of its acoustic properties. Similarly, making sound recordings became far more flexible through Paul's experiments in layering tracks and manipulating sound through electronic means. Regularly championed as an innovator of major proportions (more than one commentator has labeled him the Edison of the electric guitar), Paul is important for having demonstrated the accessibility of new technologies as well as their novelty. He domesticated the electric guitar at the same time as he showed its remarkable capacity for expanding the sonic possibilities of popular music. Rock and roll's own sonic innovations are hard to imagine without him.

Princeton dropped a pair of home matches to Dartmouth and Harvard earlier this season, including a tough 3-2 decision to the Big Green. After falling in an early hole, Princeton rallied to win the third and fourth sets, but Dartmouth bounced back with a big effort in the fifth set to take the win.
That may have been the low weekend for Princeton this season, but the Tigers showed their resilience last weekend with a home sweep of both Columbia and Cornell. Freshman Cara Mattaliano, who ranks third in the league in both kills (3.32) and points (3.75) per set, was dominant over the weekend and earned her second Ivy League Rookie of the Week honor.
Fellow freshman Lauren Miller also had a strong showing and has moved into the Top 3 in the Ivy League in assists (8.82 per set). As she has gained experience, the Princeton offense has grown in efficiency, and it heads into the weekend hitting a second-best .239 in Ivy League matches.
Sophomore Kendall Peterkin continues to lead the Ivy League in both kills (3.51) and points (4.05) per set, while junior Tiana Woolridge ranks second in the league with a .342 hitting percentage.
Princeton will open the weekend Friday night against Harvard, which kept its title hopes alive last weekend with a 3-2 upset of Yale; it was the first loss for the Bulldogs since the 2011 Ivy season, and it keeps Harvard within two matches with four to play. The Crimson has been efficient on both sides, ranking second in the Ivy League in both hitting percentage and opponent hitting percentage.
Dartmouth is one match behind Princeton in the league standings, and it will honor its seniors Saturday afternoon before its match. Dartmouth has been led by Elisa Scudder, who ranks second in the Ivy League in both attack percentage and service aces.

In the film Ghost Town, Téa Leoni plays Gwen, a widowed archaeologist whose dead husband (Greg Kinnear) wants to break up her new relationship. He enlists the help of the only man who can see ghosts: a curmudgeonly dentist named Bertram (Ricky Gervais), who just had a near-death experience himself. In time, a hilariously unlikely romantic connection is forged between Gwen and Bertram. Here, Leoni talks about the role and her costars.
MORE: When a character in a romantic comedy is as obnoxious as Bertram, so much depends on his costar's reactions.
Téa Leoni: David Koepp, the writer-director, and I talked about that. You've got an hour and nineteen minutes to see the truth, the pain, and the fear in this character while he's acting like an absolute asshole. I liked that challenge. I think that's why I ended up getting pulled toward comedy, because when you're doing a comedy there has to be something going on underneath that contradicts what's coming out of the mouth.
MORE: How was it working with Ricky Gervais?
Leoni: Ricky was a really fun surprise because I didn't know his work beyond these BBC shows that are so much fun [the original version of The Office and Extras]. And that he was in a boy band in the '80s. We used to pull photos of him in the band up on computers on the set — so funny! His comic [sense] is so vivid. There's not a moment where you don't see the wheels turning with him. He'll let you watch his character squirm. A lot of actors have a tough time letting go, being willing to look that confused and still be able to deliver a punchline with incredible gusto.
MORE: And Greg Kinnear?
Leoni: When I heard Greg was in Ghost Town, I thought, great, we can finally work together! It didn't occur to me until I got to the set, "You idiot! You can't see him. You can't acknowledge him. You're not acting with him." We were in the same movie, but we never got to talk to each other.
MORE: When you started out, did you love acting immediately?
Leoni: What I thought it was, yeah, sure, it's kicky. Then it got harder and more fascinating at the same time.
MORE: Is it more fun for you now, at 42?
Leoni: Oh, god, yeah. Because I'm more concerned with my own experience and I'm less interested in the outcome. I'm less concerned with what you're concerned about at 25. And I think that if my kids can see their mom get excited by what she does, that's a great thing to give them.

Tuesday means another beautiful day in Volusia, Flagler
Published: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 6:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 21, 2014 at 4:35 p.m.
This is why you live in Florida. As snow storms sweep across the west, Tuesday will be sunny in Volusia and Flagler counties, with high temperatures around 78 degrees.
Even the overnight lows seem comparatively warm, dropping to just 64 degrees near the coast, according to the forecast from the National Weather Service.
Winds will be 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Wednesday will be even warmer, with temperatures creeping into the low 80s. By Thursday, as the warming trend continues, a chance for showers enters the forecast. The greatest chance for rain is on Friday.
Beach-goers should be aware: a moderate threat for rip currents will persist through the week.
No accidents affecting traffic were reported by the Florida Highway Patrol in Volusia or Flagler counties before dawn Tuesday.

Fossil Inc. likes to say, "Long Live Vintage." The tagline is a loving nod to the feel-good designs that Fossil keeps re-imagining and re-invigorating. But it's also a subtle reminder that some simple, classic ideas are built to last. The company might as well wink and whisper, "Long live Fossil."
If you don't know Fossil products, take a closer look next time you're shopping or get one of its 18 million catalogs in the mailbox. Fossil sold $1.8 billion worth of watches last year and $700 million in clothing, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories.
Watches range from no-name private labels for Wal-Mart and Target to $2,000-plus Swiss pieces at Neiman's and Nordstrom. The sweet spot, the territory that Fossil wants to own, are watches that sell for $85 to $600. Fossil often commands a long sweep of counter space in the center of department stores—prime real estate reserved for small items that turn over fast and deliver big returns.
At its own stores in North America, Fossil generates $715 in sales per square foot, and its European outlet stores deliver $1,221. That's roughly twice the performance of a typical U.S. specialty store.
More than half of Fossil sales are its own brands, but it also makes and markets watches and accessories that carry the names of Michael Kors, Armani, DKNY, Diesel and, starting next year, Karl Lagerfeld.
The Fossil story is already enshrined in the bootstrapper's hall of fame. A 24-year-old college dropout, Tom Kartsotis tired of scalping tickets outside Texas Stadium and bet it all on making cheap fashion watches in Hong Kong. Older brother Kosta, then a Sanger Harris exec, helped get the line into department stores. Chief designer Lynne Stafford helped establish the retro Americana look and later married the founder. And lots of people got rich when the Richardson company went public in 1993.
But that was just the beginning. Fossil has roared on, swamping the competition and surviving the severe cycles of the global economy, fashion world, and retailing itself.
In 20 years, Fossil revenues grew from $57 million to $2.5 billion—an annual growth rate of almost 21 percent. That's worth repeating: Fossil has sustained that huge growth for two decades. It never reported an annual loss, and operating income soared 40-fold.
This was a scalable business before the Internet popularized the concept. Built product by product, store by store, country by country—around the idea that great design, low prices, and broad distribution would carry the day.
Along the way, Fossil was transformed from a small watch company into what it calls an international lifestyle brand. That's a fancy way of saying that people want its clothing, too, and handbags, wallets, shoes, jewelry, and sunglasses. Even Fossil's free downloadable wallpapers are cool.
And pick your point of diversification: by product, by geography, wholesale vs. retail, licensed brands vs. Fossil.
It even has 104 outlet stores, and more on the way, because there's a big return in liquidating your own merchandise. Same-store sales at Fossil outlets rose 26 percent last year, which makes for a winning hedge against a slowing economy.
None of this was a gimme. Watches accounted for 72 percent of Fossil revenue last year—and who knew this would be a hot sector with such staying power? Every (rare) time that sales slip, analysts complain that cellphones are finally making watches obsolete, only to have Fossil prove them wrong a little later.
Speed Bump
Fossil has helped turn watches into must-have, can-have fashion accessories. It tries to get a design edge with new materials for dials, crystals, and straps. In the early days, it created tin boxes to hold watches, a mid-century throwback that became a Fossil signature—and remains beloved today. And if watches are about the look, rather than the utility, one is never enough.
During a five-year span, Fossil sales doubled, including a $500 million increase in 2011. In two years, net income doubled. The stock also was on fire, rising 246 percent from January 2007 to January 2012, a time when the Dow and S&P 500 both lost ground.
At the end of last year, Fossil had 13,100 employees, with more than half outside the country. About 1,100 work in the headquarters in Richardson, and more than 500 at a Dallas distribution center.
For a while, it seemed that Fossil had no limit. Then it hit a speed bump, and investors went over the edge. On May 8, the stock price dropped 38 percent on 16 times the usual volume.
Fossil disappointed investors, because first-quarter sales rose just 9.8 percent, and it also trimmed full-year forecasts. The big problem was in Europe, where sales rose just 4.7 percent. For 2012, Fossil still projected a 16 percent increase in sales, with stronger profits.
Those are hearty numbers, but Fossil is graded on a curve. One analyst wrote that the punishment didn't fit the crime, and she reduced her projections for Fossil's five-year growth rate to 15 percent. If that's the fallback position, you get an idea of the strength of the business.
Sure enough, in the second quarter, Fossil reverted to form, with sales and net income growing by double digits again. Even Europe, still mired in economic crises, bought 14 percent more Fossil stuff.So Wall Street whipsawed the company again: Its stock price soared 31.5 percent, easily leading the S&P 500 members that day.
Still, it's fair to wonder how long Fossil can produce like this, gobbling up market share at home and growing abroad. In the 2000s, when sales fell at U.S. department stores and discounters, the annual growth rate at clothing and accessories stores was 2.5 percent. But Fossil grew six times faster over the same period.
Was the first-quarter slip a sign that Fossil may finally start topping out? Or was the company just catching its breath so that, three months later, it could resume its relentless march forward?
"Huge Demand"
One analyst urged executives to look ahead over the next five years and consider whether Fossil should choose between licensed watches and its lifestyle brands. The former has grown much faster, but the latter is a great way to leverage the Fossil name.
It was a kind way of asking whether management could handle it all. "We still think there's a bunch of runway ahead for Fossil," CEO Kosta Kartsotis said in the conference call in May. In August, he was even more bullish: "We have a lot of opportunity to get better at what we do," Kartsotis told analysts.
By sharing distribution, marketing, retailing, and its all-important design staff, the company can expand at a discount. It can ride the Fossil brand into multiple categories for far less than operating a separate company, an efficient way to penetrate fast-growing markets in China and Korea. Asia's middle class is about to have an epic growth spurt and, by 2020, the Pacific will have more potential Fossil customers than North America and Europe combined.
Fossil wants to be there with everything, not just fashion faves like Michael Kors. "To us it's a very compelling business model," Kartsotis said.
In other words, Fossil is all in, with the CEO saying it's the early innings of a large multi-year opportunity. Rather than retreat, the company plans to open 75 stores this year. It wants to add 65 to 70 concession areas in Asia, so it will have 280 in place by year-end. Fossil manages those retail counters and pays a commission to department stores.
Changes are under way, but they're more like an eyebrow tweeze than a makeover. The company has about 30 percent fewer items in its catalog, so it can "tell fewer stories and tell them much better," Kartsotis said. And the emphasis is on iconic styling, rather than fashion.
I wouldn't know the difference between an icon and a fashion item, but I know that Fossil's look always seems to work. Vintage style, mid-20th century inspiration, roots in authenticity—those are phrases that inform the designers' thinking and seep into every corner of the company. Even its new headquarters in Richardson was recycled in modern vintage.
As Fossil becomes larger, it's harder to move the needle on sales. In April, Fossil completed the purchase of Skagen Designs, a Danish watchmaker and jewelry company. It plans to "turbo-charge" the business by funneling it into the Fossil machine, which is one more way to counter a slowdown. In the second quarter, Skagen accounted for much of the sales gain in Europe.
In 2009, after the Great Recession, Fossil sales slipped 2 percent. The company stormed back the next two years, with gains of 31 percent and 26 percent. In 2001, during another recession, sales growth fell into single digits; then Fossil strung together three years of gains averaging more than 20 percent.
So Fossil has been knocked back before, but not down. In 1995, two University of Baltimore professors wrote a case study on Fossil, detailing how Tom Kartsotis came out of nowhere to build a fashion watch company. The report included the strategies laid out in the initial public offering, and the priorities then are the same today.
One more common thread: doubts about how long Fossil could maintain the pace. The company's success, the professors wrote, had attracted attention, so it was sure to face tougher competition and plenty of imitators.
"Future growth was likely to be even more challenging than past accomplishments," they concluded.
In 1995, they couldn't have been more wrong. For a short time last spring, Wall Street didn't know much better.

"Mark lives in Green River, Wyoming, and drove 2 ½ hours each way to come and patrol as a volunteer," Cook said during an interview with The Park Record. "He was always one of the first ones here in the morning, and he's always the first on a wreck to help an injured skier."
Harmon was an emergency-care instructor who helped train new ski patrollers and was also a chemical engineer at Simplot food and agricultural company.
On April 13, 2011, Harmon suffered what doctors believe was a stroke and was flown from Rock Springs, Wyoming, to Salt Lake City, for treatment, Cook said.
"He was treated at St. Mark's Hospital, but he was well out of the three-hour window, so they couldn't use anticoagulants," Cook remembered. "Still, we thought it was maybe a passing transient ischemic attack, or mini stroke, but after three-days in the hospital, Mark went unconscious."
Doctors admitted him to intensive care where he was put on a cranial monitor that found his brain was swelling and deviating.
"The doctors turned to me and Mark's wife, Lori, and gave him a less than a five-percent chance of survival, and said even if he did survive, he wouldn't have any chance of a meaningful life, so they debated about just going to let him go," Cook said.
That was a shock.
"He was a very vital, strong person and we're about the same age and identified with each other," he said.
Doctors performed a craniotomy to remove the top of Harmon's skull so the brain would have room to swell.
"Mark did survive and, after spending 70 days in the hospital, is doing remarkably well," Cook said. "He even surprised the chief neurologist by standing up out of his wheelchair when he came down for the bone flap to replace his skull."
Unfortunately, his treatment is going to take a long time, and his insurance dropped its coverage.
"He had maxed out on his benefits and they let him go," Cook said. "He's on the COBRA program now, but it's expensive and temporary and the prognosis is dicey in that he doesn't have a job, due to his ailment."
So, Cook and his ski-patrol friends and Park City-area resorts are coming together to host a fundraiser for Harmon.
The event will be at Brewvies Cinema Pub, 677 S. 200 West, in Salt Lake on Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 6:30 p.m.
Brewvies is donating the space for the fundraiser.
"We'll have two live bands, Downright Citizens and Canyons Patrol Band, and we'll show a ski film, Dean Cummings' new film 'The Steep Life,'" Cook said. "We will also have tons of prizes for the opportunity drawing."
Goodies include a full-season pass to Canyons, helicopter skiing from Diamond Peaks and more than a half-dozen pairs of skis and bindings, helmets, goggles.
"We are also holding a silent auction for more of these types of items," Cook said. "There is a pile that was donated by a lot of our connections through various vendors and the National Ski Patrol.
"We also have discounted rooms of the Red Lion Hotel, which is right next door to Brewvies, and they even pitched in a room certificate for the drawing as well," Cook said.
Tickets for the fundraiser are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. The event is open to adults ages 21 and older.
Advanced tickets can be purchased by visiting www.firsttracksslc.org .
"There is also a donate button on the website for people who still want to donate to the cause, but can't attend the event," Cook said.
Tickets for the opportunity drawing are $2 for one or $10 for a string of 10, Cook said. "We're hoping people will buy $20 worth," he said. "It's come together nicely. People can come and have fun, bid on items, listen to music and have a beer."
The money raised with help the Harmon family with the incurred and ongoing costs of treatment, including physical therapy and electric treatments.
"We figured that they have already paid $80,000 out-of-pocket so far, and there is still a ways to go," Cook said. "He is making good progress, and beating the odds, but he needs some help.
"Mark is definitely a fighter," Cook said. "He did initially lose the use of the left side of his body, and the prognosis is that he would probably not regain it, but he's proved them wrong again. He is now walking with the use of a cane, but he did lose the cane at my house last week and walked around the living room. He's a great guy and we're rallying behind him."
Brewvies, 677 S. 200 West in Salt Lake City, will host a benefit for former Canyons Ski Patroller Mark Harmon on Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance at www.firsttracksslc.org and $20 at the door.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a man's wallet is directly wired to his testicles. If he is not older, taller and (especially) better compensated at his job than the woman in his life, said testicles will shrivel and wither away. And said woman will pay the price for her excessive success.
It seems, however, that not everyone got the memo. According to data published by the Pew Research Center in 2010, the wife now earns more than the husband in 22 percent of married couples, compared with only 4 percent in 1970. And the salary differences can be substantial: The 2010 U.S. Census reports that over 4 percent of wives make at least $30,000 more than their spouses. Once you add to the "wife outearns" group the 25 percent of couples whose incomes are pretty much equal, it's clear that the guy with the well-hung wallet is now just barely in the majority. The final blow to the old gender economics: A Match.com survey of men ages 26 to 36 found that 87 percent thought it would be "sexy" to date a woman who earned more money than they did.
Elizabeth Angell, a 37-year-old magazine editor from Brooklyn, met her husband when they were in graduate school. Back then, neither one was making money. But after she entered the job market, she outearned him by as much as $50,000 a year. The discrepancy was partly a function of career choice—he became a freelance writer—and partly the result of their different temperaments. "I'm very type A; my nickname is Planny McPlan," she says. "He's a live-in-the-moment guy who reminds me not to get caught up in that." When their two-year-old son was born, they agreed that the new dad was well situated to work part time and take care of the baby three days a week—a job at which, she says, he is "extraordinary."
Angell has close friends and neighbors with similar arrangements, so she has never felt the pressure of being a trailblazer. The only negative for her is one that men have often faced: "Being the breadwinner is nerve racking. I make more than he does, but I don't make a fortune, so I sometimes worry that we don't have enough resources to sustain us as a family," she says. "I searched my soul about this, and it's not about wanting to be taken care of. But it's a big responsibility." Despite some money worries, the couple, who recently had a second child, are happy with their choices. "We've constructed a life that is much less about making money and more about making time," she says.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Perennials
Durable, Delectable Nasturtiums (page 3 of 3)
by Charlie Nardozzi
Flavor Plus!
Adding flowers to food has long been a custom in many cultures around the world. For centuries, Chinese cooks have used lotus, chrysanthemum, and lily flowers or buds in their recipes. American colonists added marigolds to mutton broth. Nasturtiums, among the best-known edible flowers, are popular with chefs. Not only do they dress up a plate, but they're high in vitamins A, C (10 times as much as in lettuce), and D. The leaves, flowers, buds, and seeds are all edible, with a peppery flavor that adds a zing to any dish.
Before harvesting a whole patch of nasturtiums, taste a few flowers first. Their flavor may vary depending on the plant, and on soil and weather conditions. Generally, the more stressed a plant is (by lack of water or nutrients, or exposure to adverse weather), the more pungent its flavor.
When harvesting the leaves, select young, tender ones. Harvest buds or fully opened flowers in midmorning, ideally on a cool day. The entire blossom is edible, but if you find the organs inside the petals to be bitter, you can remove them with scissors. Gently wash and dry the flowers and leaves, and store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
In the kitchen, add the flowers to salads and stir-fry dishes. You can also stuff them and cook them with pasta. More ambitious cooks can try grinding the seeds for use as a pepper substitute, griding them for oil, or pickling the flower buds or immature seedpods and use as a substitute for capers.
Growing Unusual Perennial Nasturtiums
Several trailing and climbing species of Tropaeolum have unusual flower and leaf forms. However, they're hard to find and harder to grow (especially from seed) because they're adapted only to particular growing conditions. To grow best, these types require mild winters (hardy to zone 7) and cool, humid summers similar to those in England. Or grow them in a cool greenhouse. They like a location in part shade to full sun and prefer their roots be kept moist and cool. Most climbers twine around a support. The aggressive types grow well over trellises or pergolas.
The easiest of these nasturtiums to grow is T. tuberosum. Started from a tuber, it produces a vigorous 15-foot vine with 2-inch-diameter orange-and-yellow flowers. The flowers don't bloom until fall, but the three-lobed, partly divided foliage makes this vine attractive even when it's not blooming. In climates colder than zone 7, the edible tubers can be lifted in fall and stored in winter as you would dahlias. For an earlier-blooming variety, try 'Ken Aslet'.
Scotch flame flowers (T. speciosum). are relatively easy to grow and are available as plants. The 6-foot vines with ferny leaves produce 2-inch vivid scarlet lobelia-like flowers for several weeks in July. They aren't as aggressive as T. tuberosum, but they do spread by roots as deep as 2 feet, so they can become invasive.
Wreath nasturtium (T. polyphyllum) is available only from seed. The 3- to 4-foot vine grows from a rhizome (an underground stem) and produces beautiful gray-blue leaves and 1-inch golden yellow cup-shaped flowers. The plant blooms for only two to three weeks in early summer, then dies back until the next spring. Wreath nasturtium is best used as a low-growing rock garden plant because the leaves and flowers stand only about 3 inches tall.
T. tricolor is the most difficult to grow of the four. Furthermore, it's available only from seed. The fragile 3-foot-long vine produces spurlike yellow-centered, orange-red blooms fringed in purple.
Charlie Nardozzi is senior horticulturist at National Gardening Association.

Cross Country - Girls Varsity
The girls' cross country program takes advantage of Berkshire's beautiful setting with a course that has striking views of the campus. The course is challenging, but idyllic in that it truly incorporates a variety of different terrain. There are hills, meadows, woods, and even a brook to cross. It is clearly marked each year per NCAA regulations, with double white lines and directional signs. Additionally, favorite running loops on country roads in the surrounding rolling hills of southwestern Massachusetts provide even more territory than Berkshire's own 400 acres.
Berkshire runners compete in the annual Canterbury Invitational, a number of Division I and II dual, tri, and quad meets, and the New England Prep School Championship - which Berkshire has proudly hosted a number of times. Though we have established a tradition of excellence, runners of every talent level are encouraged to come out for Cross Country at Berkshire. Creating a team that appreciates each other and the sport of running is the ultimate goal every season.
|University of New Hampshire
|Bowdoin College
Berkshire's Cross Country team was made up of 25 wonderful student-athletes that brought their enthusiasm and smiling faces to the trails everyday, hard workout or not. Our season was made up of long runs, speed workouts on the track and hill workouts on the Mountain. Highlights include: Surprise ice cream run to SoCo, beating Crew in Ultimate Frisbee, extreme racing conditions (from the blazing heat at Avon Old Farms to the icy downpour at T.P.), long slow distance in Salisbury, Coach Lloyd, Peter Giordano, Derrick Burt, and Luke Streett shattering Mr. Mulder's fastest Mt. Everett summit time, Danny Kim leading Russian twists, 3x a week ab workouts, Peter Giordano's rendition of "kick-drive-paw", and Mr. Gulotta's last minute arrival at Berkshire's last home meet accompanied with an incredible pre-race speech and starting both the boys' and girls' races. And of course, Sarah Kinney winning her second NEPSTA Division II Championship race at Williston Northampton (this is the third year in a row that a Berkshire female has captured the title!). We will miss our seniors dearly next year and wish them all the best in college: Sarah Kinney, Kara Falk, Peter Giordano, James Donovan, Danny Kim, and Chris Bower. Go Bears!

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -
The Arizona softball season came to a close Saturday when it was upended by Baylor 8-4 in an elimination contest in the College Station Regional after the Cats defeated Penn 3-2 in extras to extend its season.
The loss marks the first time that Arizona has failed to make it out of regionals since 2004.
The Cats' 33 wins on the season mark the fewest since winning 27 games in 1986 while its 26 losses are most in program history.
Game 1 - Arizona 3, Penn 2 (8 innings)
Down to its final out in the bottom of the seventh inning trailing by a run, Hallie Wilson ripped a single through the middle to plate Mandie Perez to extend the game and push it to an extra inning, where UA would walk off. A single and an error put runners at second and third with no one out for Kelsey Rodriguez who hit a sacrifice fly to center to end the game.
The Wildcats' 3-2 victory was their fifth consecutive victory in which it needed a late-game comeback to prevail. This effort extended their season and earned them a chance to take on Baylor in another elimination contest.
The game-tying hit for Wilson was her second of the game; Chelsea Goodacre notched a couple of hits of her own. Kelsey Rodriguez drove in two of Arizona's three runs.
Estela Piñon (13-8) was brilliant in relief once again. The junior hurled 4.1 scoreless innings and allowed just one hit. Piñon retired the final 10 batters she faced.
Nancy Bowling lasted 3.2 innings in the start and gave up two runs, both on a Georgia Guttadauro homer. The freshman allowed three hits, walked three and struck out three in the start.
Estela Piñon pitched the final 3.1 innings and allowed just one hit and two walks.
Alexis Borden (17-12) went the distance and allowed three runs, two earned, on seven hits.
After three scoreless innings, the Quakers opened the scoring in the fourth inning when Guttadauro hit a two-run homer.
Arizona cut into the Penn lead on a Kelsey Rodriguez RBI single in the bottom half. The Cats had runners at second and third with no one out but could not plate an additional run in the frame.
UA had just one base runner in the next two innings before mounting the comeback in the seventh. Mandie Perez led off the bottom of the seventh with a single and moved to second on Courtney Rodriguez's sacrifice bunt. Alex Lavine lined out to put Arizona down to its final out. Wilson singled up the middle to drive home Perez to tie the game.
In Arizona's last six victories, Wilson has two walkoff hits and a seventh-inning game-tying knock to her credit.
Goodacre led off the bottom of the eighth with a single and moved to third on a two-base error by Penn catcher Jessica Arneson. Kelsey Rodriguez followed with a walkoff sacrifice fly to end the game.
Game 2 - Baylor 8, Arizona 4
Arizona's season came to a close when Baylor defeated Arizona 8-4 in game 5 of the College Station Regional. With the victory the Bears earned a trip to the regional championship against Texas A&M on Sunday.
Wildcat pitchers issued nine walks in the contest.
Nancy Bowling allowed four runs on four hits in the start. The freshman lasted 1.2 innings and walked four batters.
She was replaced by Shelby Babcock (16-13) who gave up two runs on two hits with four walks and two strikeouts.
Estela Piñon pitched the final 3.1 innings and gave up two runs on four hits with one walk and two strikeouts.
Heather Stearns (11-4) tossed a complete-game for the Lady Bears and allowed four runs, one earned, on six hits with two walks and eight strikeouts. Stearns retired 11 of the last 12 batters she faced.
The Cats struck in the first inning when they loaded the bases with one out. Kelsey Rodriguez drove in a run with a bloop single that kept the bases loaded for Brigette Del Ponte, who hit a sac fly to left.
Baylor responded in a big way in the second. Bowling, who did not allow a hit the first time through the order, did not fair well her second time through. With two out and a runner at first the top of the order notched four consecutive hits, punctuated by a pair of two-run doubles to give Baylor a 4-2 lead and chase Bowling in favor of Babcock, who recorded the third out of the frame.
The Cats tied the game in the third inning with help from a pair of doubles. Chelsea Goodacre hit a one out double before Kelsey Rodriguez worked a 12-pitch, two-out walk. Del Ponte followed with a double to left-center that plated Goodacre. An errant throw plated Rodriguez and Del Ponte was tagged at the plate to end the inning.
Baylor responded with two runs of its own in its next at-bat when Babcock walked four batters and Baylor picked up a two-run single from Jordan Strickland.
The Bears added to their lead on a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
Another Baylor run scored in the seventh inning on an RBI double from Linsey Hays.

Guess who secretly loves Disney? Hank Williams Jr.
Despite a messy split from ESPN after Hank Williams Jr.'s controversial comments about President Obama where he compared him to Hitler, Williams made an appearance on ABC's the View Tuesday. ESPN and ABC are both owned by the Walt Disney Company.
"The View" host Barbara Walters made it a point to remind Hank Williams Jr. that her show was owned by Disney after he continued to elaborate on his controversial remarks. Shortly after, Williams said "Disney, ABC and ESPN are kind of like the Spanish-American War, they're history. You understand that? I'm out of there."
Williams called Disney's Mickey a "mean mouse" and turned his back to the audience to point to his New York Yankees Mickey Mantle jersey.
"This is my Mickey right here," he said.
Surely, Yankees fans everywhere are rejoicing at their newest celebrity fan.
Following that, co-host Joy Behar asked Williams Jr. again if he understood why using Hitler's name was a bad idea and the audience and viewers got one lucid moment out of an otherwise uncomfortable, jumbled segment.
"Oh yeah. I told you, I'm not smart enough," said Williams Jr., who reminded the audience that he and his song "Are You Ready for Some Football will be free agents May 1, 2012.
It was a bold move by both camps to entertain Williams on an ABC show. Adding to the uncomfortable segment was the fact that co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck's husband, Tim Hasselbeck, is an NFL analyst for ESPN – to which she also reminded Hank Williams Jr. when he threw dogged Mickey Mouse.

Back to Mac OS 9, there was a way to create startup configs (to include or not some extensions to the OS). This was a built-in feature of Mac OS.
Is there a way to manage this on OS X ?
Since OS X no longer has extensions per se managing them is not necessary. (Thankfully)
I still have horrifying memories of managing different extensions which had varying degrees of incompatibility often requiring different load orders and multiple reboots to straighten out.
Here is an excellent article, although old, that still outlines the OS X system startup process:
The closest thing to an extension manager is this freeware utility that manages items in your Library folders, allowing you to enable/disable them. I don't use it myself and have no idea if it still works with recent Mac OS X releases.

All Made Up
THE FOUNDATION The glam, the gloss and, yes, the glitter came out to play at Modern Luxury Dallas' celebration of our nightlife issue at the new Make Up For Ever store at NorthPark Center. It's the first Texas location (there are just three so far in the U.S.!), and we couldn't be happier to have the haute Parisian brand in our backyard. Judging by the crush of style-forward guests who crowded into the petite boutique for the cocktail party, we aren't the only ones who are ecstatic about its entrée into the Lone Star State. FIRST BLUSH From the dramatic spotlights to the neon signs, Make Up For Ever is like backstage Broadway—sans any stage fright. Fitting, as founder Dany Sanz began her foray into makeup while working on a theater set. This backstage came equipped with cocktails and creative bites from "underground dinner" Chef DAT—and, of course, loads of candy-like cosmetics perfect for a night on the town and plenty of neutral options for day. FINISHING TOUCHES Spotted: LeeAnne Locken leaving with a touch of pink glitz; makeup artist Ashley Leal with an enviable aquamarine eye, as she guided guests around the store and gave mini-touchups and how-to lessons; co-host and The Beauty Buzz author Victoria Snee, rocking some amazing lashes; and MLD publisher and fellow co-host of the evening, Blake Stephenson, in a crimson lip.
