JACKSON — Cathy Grace wanted no part of kindergarten.
"My mother dropped me off, and I was not a happy little girl," she recalls." The woman at the kindergarten locked the screen door, but I wound up tearing it off. I wanted out of there."
Strangely enough, her passion turned out to be teaching others the importance of early childhood education — getting children into kindergarten and instilling the basics needed to enter first grade on the fast track to a productive life.
Grace, 60, will be honored Sept. 21 as the 2009 Winter-Reed Award recipient for her lifelong contributions to public education. The award is named in honor of former Gov. William Winter and Tupelo businessman Jack Reed Sr. and is presented annually by the Mississippi Association of Partners in Education.
"In my opinion, we would not have public kindergarten today in Mississippi if Cathy Grace had not provided the inspiration and understanding of the need for kindergartens when I was governor (1980-84)," Winter said. "I was for kindergarten but never fully appreciated how valuable it was until Cathy continued to educate me. Along with that, she educated many members of the Legislature, many civic leaders and the general public.
"People forget, but kindergarten was a very controversial subject at the time. People really didn't understand why it was necessary to take children out of their mothers' arms and send them off to some school at the age of 5. But when we started looking around and saw that Mississippi was the only state in the country that didn't have a single state-supported kindergarten … that's when we got busy. That's when Cathy launched her crusade."
Today, each Mississippi school district is required to offer kindergarten for 5-year-old students. But parents are not obligated to enroll them. Grace wants that changed.
As director of Mississippi State University's Early Childhood Institute, she has worked to help create positive educational environments throughout the state — at home and at daycare centers for children birth to 5.
"People are sometimes surprised when I say it starts at home, but when children don't receive adequate health care, when their environments are not stable because of a lack of income, when their brains are not being stimulated, it causes problems.
"Through studies released in the past 10 years, there is medical evidence that stimulating environments in the first three, five, eight years of a child's life are critical for brain development.
"It's no longer just eat Wonder bread and drink your milk. It's do that, plus exercise your brain. That comes from good nutrition, a relationship early on in a child's life from someone who pays attention to them in a positive way, and things as simple as talking, reading and singing to a child at a very early age," Grace said.
Statistics reveal few children in Mississippi are taking advantage of programs such as Head Start and Early Head Start, which provide early education opportunities to low-income children and their families. Only 3 percent of eligible infants and young children (birth to 3) and just 66 percent of eligible children ages 3 to 5 are enrolled in Head Start.
Alternatives have been developed, such as Supporting Partnerships to Assure Ready Kids (SPARK) through the Mississippi Children's Defense Fund and the Excel by 5, a program started by Chevron with the help of Grace and others.
Studies show Mississippians lagging behind the rest of the country academically. Seven of every 10 public school fourth-graders cannot read at grade level.
"We've still got work to do," Grace said. "If the numbers stay as they are, it's going to be more of the same, and maybe worse. We are not going to graduate children who can make a living wage and, perhaps most importantly, we're not going to attract the economic developers that we need because we can't offer the work force.
"This affects every Mississippian. No one is exempt from it."
It comes down to investing in our youth, she said.
"Look at the states around us — Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana. All of them put between $30 and $50 million into early childhood education," Grace said. "Mississippi puts $3 million — or the minimum required by law."
Grace is on sabbatical from her position at MSU. She is in Washington, working to make sure rural Mississippians are not left out of the new administration's education plans.
"I'm directing the early childhood development portion of the policy division for the Children's Defense Fund," she said. "I sit in meetings with some fine, highly educated people. But most are not from a rural background. I can bring field experience to these discussions."
And she is not afraid to speak up, said Oleta Fitzgerald, southern regional director of the Children's Defense Fund, which helps promote policies and programs in early education.
"Cathy is anything but shy," Fitzgerald said. "She is driven. And I would be willing to bet that she has taken D.C. by storm. She has figured out where the conversations are she needs to be a part of, and waded in there boots and all. Truly, she is just what Mississippi needs in Washington right now — a great connector between the policy makers and the people on the ground who will have to implement those policies."
Grace grew up in Neuhardt, Ark., a small town where her father, Raymond, ran a country store surrounded by cotton fields.
"I can remember in elementary school wanting to become a teacher," she said. "I knew what I wanted to do with my life."
But at 16 Grace was pregnant and married. She worked as a lab technician at a hospital in West Memphis and took correspondence courses. She earned her high school diploma a few weeks before her son, Whit, was born.
"I think that experience clearly helps Cathy today understand what some mothers and children are going through," Fitzgerald said. "Experience is deeper than mere conversation."
The marriage didn't last, but Grace continued to push toward her goal. Facing the challenges of being a student and a single mother, she enrolled at the University of Arkansas and graduated with a degree in education. She eventually earned a Ph.D from Ole Miss in 1979.
She taught elementary school in West Memphis and Cleveland before accepting a position on the faculty at Mississippi Valley State University. She was there four years. Met her husband, Charles, in church at nearby Greenwood. Had another son, Mason.
"I also learned how to write grants, learned about the Mississippi Delta and learned what it was like to be a minority," she said.
She was hired by Winter in 1983 as the early childhood coordinator for the Department of Education where she led the formation of statewide kindergartens.
She went to work at MSU in 1999 — and she intends to return after her stint in Washington.
"There is too much Mississippi in me to stay up here," she said. "And there is too much left to do there. I want to be a part of it."

In style at Bette Midler's Annual Spring Picnic; preening about your "green thumb." A-listers and celebs were spruced up strutting the green carpet in New York City's Riverside Park Thursday evening to celebrate 19 years of cleaning, greening and growing.
The New York Restoration Project (NYRP), founded by award-winning actress and singer Bette Midler, has been transforming underserved communities by creating a greener, more sustainable New York City. The Divine Ms. M talked with me about their progress. "I am so excited to be able to do this work since 1995, and yes, I am a little tired, but, I am most grateful to everyone who has supported us all these years. We have planted 875,000 trees and will reach a million by our 20th anniversary in 2015." She went on to thank the NYC parks department and former mayor, Michael Bloomberg.
Tim Gunn, looking like a million in his natty suit from his favorite store, Suitsupply, talked green with me. "I find beauty in any living thing and love being part of the solution in helping communities turn empty lots into thriving green spaces." Ok, back to fashion, what's trending for guys? "In suits it's all about a good fit. So many men wear suits that are sometimes two sizes too big. You will look slimmer and more in shape wearing the right size. As far as tuxedos, I love deep midnight blue. They look really sharp, especially when they are fitted properly, guys."
Oscar winning actress, Melissa Leo strolled the green carpet wearing a hodgepodge of floral from her closet to welcome spring. Others donning the carpet on the Plaza at the General Grant National Memorial to show their support included honorary co-chairs, Cynthia Nixon, Amy Poehler and Dr. Mehmet Oz. Marlo Thomas, Bernadette Peters, Isaac Mizrahi, Michael Kors and Liz Smith were also among the hundreds of green enthusiasts celebrating the millions of amazing things NYRP has accomplished in underserved New York City communities since its inception.
Go Bette! Go Green!

Hi all! My husband and I decided on Sloane. It was really hard to decide because the names I liked he didn't and vice versa. He is more of a traditional person, but he liked Sloane because it reminded him of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. We are both Gen X'ers and we felt it was right and made sense. With that being said, I was researching and I know I shouldn't care what others think, but there seems to be a lot of hate for this name. Mind you I think most of the people that don't like it are a lot older than we are. What do you think? Please be honest but nice LOL Thank you!!

I'm one of those who strongly dislikes it, and I'm pretty young. To me it's just a sound thing; I personally don't find the sound of Sloane pleasant at all. I feel like most of the hate, here on NB anyway, probably has more to do with the fact that it's a last-name-as-first-name and isn't particularly feminine.g w e n

I'm post-gen-x....and I personally don't like it. Let me empathize "personally" - I don't think there's something inherently bad about the name or your daughter will be teased. I don't like the sound, it's a bit nasally to my ears. Nothing to do with it being a surname, I didn't recognize it as one at first because it's become such a popular first name.
There was a character on HBO's Entourage with the name as well.

Salvador Dali is arguably the most famous and influential surrealist artist of the 20th century. Born in Spain on May 11, 1904, Salvador Dali showed artistic promise from a young age. He attended drawing school in 1916 and enjoyed his first public exhibition in Spain in 1919. Salvador Dali was an excellent draftsman who could create convincing realistic works. However, he was very imaginative and used his creativity to craft realistic looking work depicting completely unrealistic scenes (such as clocks melting on trees). This cemented his style as a "surreal" artist. His work was so unique and unusual that it gained massive public attention and Salvador Dali earned substantial success and fame even as a very young man. Salvador Dali was also a natural born showman who loved the limelight. He gained as much success for his highly waxed mustache (which gave him an unusual appearance) and grandiose, eccentric, attention-grabbing public antics as he did for his art. Salvador Dali died in Spain on January 23, 1989. He was 84 years old.
Below is a list of facts about Salvador Dali:
• When Salvador Dali was 16 years old his beloved mother died of breast cancer. His father married her sister but Dali felt no ill-will about this because he dearly loved his aunt.
• Salvador Dali used a lot of symbolism in his artwork. For example, melting clocks symbolized the passing of time.
• Dali's expansive artistic repertoire included painting, sculpture, and photography. He also dabbled in fashion, film, theater and architecture.
• Salvador Dali appeared on television several times in his life. In the late 1950s he appeared as a "mystery guest" on the popular game show "What's My Line?" He also appeared on "60 Minutes" and "The Tonight Show."
• Salvador Dali was married once to a woman named Elena Ivanovna Diakonova who was known simply as "Gala." Their marriage lasted from 1934 until her death in 1982. They had no children.

Health & Pregnancy
C-Section Rates Are High and Getting Higher
Aug. 30, 2010 -- Cesarean section deliveries are at an all-time high in the U.S. and are expected to keep rising, and new government-funded research may help explain the trend.
Nearly one in three babies are now delivered surgically -- up from one in five just over a decade ago.
Previously recognized contributors to the rise include delayed childbearing, the rising obesity rate among moms-to-be, and an increase in multiple birth deliveries.
Induced Labor and C-Sections
The new analysis also found that longer labor times and an increase in induced labors are also factors.
And a sharp decline in attempted vaginal deliveries in women who have had previous C-section deliveries has certainly contributed to the trend, government investigators said Monday.
Researchers from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development analyzed data from more than 228,000 deliveries at 19 hospitals across the U.S. from 2002 to 2008.
Among their findings:
- One in three first-time moms delivered by C-section.
- Previous surgical birth was the most common reason for C-sections, accounting for almost a third of all cesarean deliveries.
- The C-section rate among older moms was double that of younger ones.
- 44% of women who attempted vaginal delivery had labor induced, and the C-section delivery rate was almost twice as high in these women as in women whose labor was spontaneous (21% vs. 12%).
The induced labor rate among the women in the study was much higher than has been seen in previous studies.

Can we go from short Weierstrass equation equation $y^2=x^3+Ax^2+Bx+C$ to general $$y^2+a_1xy+a_3y=x^3+a_2x^2+a_4x+a_6$$?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
What you call the "general equation" is the Weierstrass equation, and what you call the "Weierstrass equation" is the so-called "short" Weierstrass equation, which is just the general Weierstrass equation with some coefficients $0$, so your question doesn't really make sense.
But maybe you meant to ask it the other way around: how to get a short Weierstrass equation from a general one? We perform a change of variables which preserves the behavior of the curve, called an admissible change of variables. If we are over a field of characteristic not $2$ or $3$, it is always possible to get a short equation from a general one through an admissible change of variables. Otherwise, not always.

College Hockey:Crimson Takes Ugly Win Over Raiders
HAMILTON, N.Y. — In a game that found every way possible to turn ugly, the Harvard Crimson trounced the Colgate Raiders 7-1 at Starr Rink on Saturday night.
Harvard (5-2-0, 5-2-0 ECAC) put on an offensive clinic, pouring 43 shots on Colgate (5-7-1, 2-4-0) goaltender David Cann and converting on three of six power-play chances.
"We played very, very hard," said Harvard head coach Mark Mazzoleni. "I thought our guys were ready to play tonight, which is a step in our maturity as a team."
The game remained scoreless after the first period thanks to some amazing saves by Cann. The junior deserved a better fate against the Crimson, and proved the only effective player to keep Harvard from reaching double digits.
"David played pretty well, and made some great stops," said Colgate head coach Don Vaughan. "They had a great game and kept the puck in our end for most of the night."
Harvard got on the board in striking fashion with two quick goals midway through the second period. A shot from between the circles by center Brett Nowak whistled wide of the Colgate net, but Tim Pettit tapped the rebound off of the boards past a stunned Cann for his first of two goals on the night.
The Crimson followed up their first goal with a second less than :30 later. Defenseman Noah Welsh let loose a slapshot that cleanly beat Cann to the stick side. Tyler Kolarik and Charlie Johnson, both of whom recorded three points on the night, assisted on the eventual game-winning goal.
"We had a pretty decent first period," said Vaughan. "Once they got their first goal, they found their killer instinct, and they came pretty hard at us."
Harvard's third goal of the game came once again by way of a defenseman. After center Tom Cavanagh's strong drive to the net was stopped by Cann, Kenny Smith pinched in from the blue line and banged home the rebound a mere eight seconds after the previous goal.
"When you play teams that play well defensively," said Mazzoleni, "they're going to have a third man back. So even if you're attacking three men, it's still going to be an even situation and you've got to get your 'D' up to create some offense. That's what we've been stressing."
The game quickly got out of hand, as the Crimson extended their lead to 4-0 thanks to a second-period goal by Aaron Kim, and then opened up a five-goal lead on Pettit's second tally of the night early in the third. Only Colgate's J.R. Bria ruined an otherwise stellar night from Harvard goaltender Dov Grumet-Morris, who stopped 25 of 26 shots faced.
"I thought [Grumet-Morris] was excellent," said Mazzoleni. "He's played four very good games in a row for us, and given us the type of goaltending that we have to have if we are going to compete for an ECAC championship."
With the game already decided, tempers began to flare. Referee Jeff Fulton issued a game misconduct to Harvard's Nowak for spearing, which carries with it an automatic game suspension for the center. This led to a brief tirade from Mazzoleni from his position on the bench, forcing Fulton to assess a two-minute bench minor as well.
Things grew even uglier when Colgate's Kyle Wilson delivered a vicious slash at center ice and was given a five-minute major.
"I thought the game deteriorated," said Mazzoleni. "I thought it was going that way in the second period. It wasn't a good moment for college hockey in the third period. I know Coach Vaughan wasn't happy with his team, and I wasn't happy with mine in the way they responded."
Said Vaughan, "There's no room in the game for what Kyle Wilson did. I think he felt that the guy may have gone a little low on him, but you can't turn around and slash a kid like that. There's just no room in the game for it."
Harvard scored twice on the power play following Wilson's major, as Johnson and Cavanagh both found the back of the net. In the end, the Crimson handed Colgate its worst loss of the season.
"They're a better team than us," said Vaughan. "There's no question about that. They have some of the best forwards in the league, and they took it to us. We had some mistakes made by our young guys tonight, but the thing that's going to stick with me is the way the game finished. I was very disappointed with our team, and some of the actions of some of our guys."
The Raiders will lick their wounds for a week before facing nonconference foe Niagara on December 5. Harvard travels to BU on Tuesday night where they will most likely have to find a way to win without a key piece to their success, Nowak.

STS-130 -- Mission to the International Space Station
The crew of space shuttle mission STS-130 is home from space!
STS-130 was the 32nd shuttle mission to fly to the space station. The crew members were Nicholas Patrick, Terry Virts, Robert Behnken, Kathryn Hire, George Zamka and Stephen Robinson.
The crew took the Tranquility node and the cupola (kyoo-puh-luh) into space. The Tranquility node is one of the last parts added to the International Space Station. Tranquility gives crew members more room. Tranquility connects to the station on the port side of the Unity node. The cupola is attached to the end of Tranquility. The cupola has seven windows. It provides a 360-degree view for watching spacewalks and robotic arm work.
Astronaut George Zamka was the commander of STS-130. This was his second trip into space. He was the pilot on the STS-120 shuttle mission in 2007.
This was pilot Terry Virts' first trip into space. Before going into space, he trained in the largest indoor pool in the world at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory near NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. Astronauts can practice for spacewalks and emergency water landings in the pool.
STS-130 was astronaut Robert Behnken's second trip into space. He practiced for the flight by learning how to get out of the space shuttle in case of an emergency landing.
STS-130 was astronaut Nicholas Patrick's second visit to the space station. He practiced for spacewalks by working underwater in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory.
STS-130 was astronaut Stephen Robinson's fourth trip into space. On an earlier mission, Robinson became the first astronaut to repair the outside of the shuttle while it was in space. He also was the first person to make a podcast from space.
STS-130 was astronaut Kathryn Hire's second trip into space. She had to complete emergency training to prepare for the mission.
The STS-130 crew designed a patch that shows important parts of its mission. The crew members' names are printed around the patch. STS-130 took the Tranquility node and its cupola to the International Space Station. The patch is shaped like the cupola, a small, dome-shaped room with seven windows. The picture of Earth is the first one taken from the moon in 1966. Space shuttle Endeavour is shown leaving Earth and heading toward the station.

College Hockey:Miami Dumps 'Unprepared' Ohio State
Edwardson Nets Winner In Final Minutes
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Derek Edwardson's 10th goal of the season at 18:31 of the third period broke a deadlock to give Miami a 2-1 win in hostile territory over intrastate rival Ohio State, but Mike Betz's postgame summation stole the show.
"I don't get a chance to see who's having a good game out there and who's not, minute to minute, but I wish I did, because I'd point them out to you," said the Buckeye senior goaltender.
"We have four captains, and they're not doing that."
After Betz said that his frustration "from one to 10″ was "maybe 11," he let loose a list of reasons why the Buckeyes lost.
"Not preparing all week. Not having the right attitude. Not having the championship attitude. Having guys on the team that won't hold themselves accountable. Guys that only show up for half of a game. Not taking advantage of a team that might have been a little bit rusty taking a week off."
His coach, John Markell, summed OSU's play in similar fashion.
"We did not play with edge. Miami did, took advantage of their opportunities, and we basically had too many guys take a night off.
"I was upset after the first period. You get outshot 16-6 in your home building and you're trying to defend your home. … I still thought we had opportunities. Give [Miami goaltender Brandon] Crawford-West congratulations. He played well. So did Mike Betz."
For his part, Miami head coach Enrico Blasi saw the game for what it was: an unbalanced effort by two evenly-matched teams.
"I thought in the first period we played pretty well," said Blasi. "The second period, they took it to us a little bit, but in the third, they had some chances and we had some chances. It really came down to an overtime goal. That's what that was."
Todd Grant capitalized on the Miami power play early in the first to give the RedHawks a 1-0 lead, beating OSU goaltender Mike Betz backdoor at 4:01. Edwardson and Marty Guerin picked up the assists.
Rod Pelley tied it for the Buckeyes at 3:09 in the second, even strength, poking the puck from underneath Crawford-West's glove, a second-effort goal on Bryce Anderson's rebound.
Crawford-West and the rest of the RedHawks earned their keep through the remainder of the second, down two men for a significant period of time. Taylor Hustead went out in the first, aggravating an existing injury, and Matt Davis was given a major penalty and a game misconduct for checking from behind at 11:01.
Killing that penalty was "important for the psyche" of the RedHawks, said Blasi. "It was 1-1 going into the third, right there where you want to be on the road with the best team in our league."
In the end, it was Edwardson from Ben Tharp and Guerin for the game-winner.
"I was breaking to the net," said Edwardson. "Tharp here laid one out, I got lucky and put it over his [Betz's] shoulder."
In spite of the lateness of the goal, Edwardson said that the RedHawks never felt the game was over until they heard the final buzzer. "It was still a minute and a half left. They have an explosive offense."
Crawford-West had 32 saves in his third consecutive win. The freshman, who has been splitting time in net with classmate Steve Hartley, seems to be settling into the starting role for Miami.
"I think that Brandon has proven himself to be his number-one guy," said Tharp. "That's just my opinion. We feel comfortable with whoever is in the net."
Miami went 1-for-7 on the power play to OSU's 0-for-6.
The loss was the first for OSU in five games. Markell said that the Buckeyes are still learning how to live with success.
"I warn guys every week. Our 7-0 success in Bowling Green set us up for this tonight. Going from what we've done in the last six games to having one line [working] was a little bit shocking.
"It's somewhat shocking and surprising because they didn't play with maturity. They didn't show their maturity."
The Buckeyes (11-6-0, 8-4-0 CCHA) and RedHawks (9-6-2, 7-3-1 CCHA) meet again in Oxford's Goggin Arena Saturday night. The puck drops at 7:35.

In Reply to: A Critique of Method - & A Plan (Part II) posted by L. Swilley on June 14, 192001 at 15:53:09:
: Wherever we go with our conclusions thereafter, our first step should be the examination of a single work, and the work examined in itself, in its essential argument, as though it were an excellent instructive essay, the parts of which are always complementary and always develop to a reasonable - in its own terms - conclusion.
: It is easy to find the mind of the essayist in his essay, it is simply *there* on the very surface of the work; there are no characters, the narrator *is* the author; the argument given is, by the very nature of the ssay, *what the essayist believes.*
: But it is not so easy to find the mind of the author in his work of fiction, for that mind is not composed only by the characters say and do, nor only by the attitude or colorations given those by the narrator, or the settings described by him/her (and whether he is engaged in the action as a character or remote from it) - the mind of the *author of a fictional work* is composed rather by the comparisons, the contrasts, the interrelations, the inter-modifications and order of presentation of every character, action and narrative emphasis in the work.
: The author's expressed mind is an organism of consistent and related ideas abstractable from his imaginative work as a complicated "philosophy" reasonably *inferable* from those interrelations, intermodifications of the items of the work. It differs from the mind of the essayist in the essay in that, in the case of the latter, the ideas of the essayist seldom need be inferred; they are simply *there*; the essayist's vocabulary is conventional and universal, not so dependent for its "dictionary", as imaginative works are, on the context in which it appears - not so dependent, therefore, on "interpretation."
: I am saying that the author's philosophy, his mind, is expressed not in the mere report of the actions and remarks of the characters, but *in the artistic proportions of the colorations of the parts of that report made by the narrator, and their arrangement in an order creating the story and developing it to its end.*
: It is time for an example: let us take the beautiful "A Day's Wait."
: (to be continued)
L. Swilley /A Day's Wait seems to be about the magnification of one day into eternity. Or looked at it another way, the compression of a life into a day. It seems to be about how time is elastic. Time is relative, as Einstein discovered. But here we have it in literature rather than science.
The story is told completely from the view point of the father. You've reviewed this story before. You talked about how the father was calloused in forgetting about his son while he was out hunting quail. Many of Hemingway's characters appear to be calloused individuals. Is this story about the Hemingway code? Are we supposed to say, "The boy held it in, his fears, that he was going to die"?
I find it difficult to believe that a child of nine who believed he was going to die would tell his father to leave if it was going to bother him. It's only natural that a child would want to cling to his father. I know children can sometimes feel extremely helpless, but it seems difficult to believe he would tell his father to leave. I could understand it if the child didn't ask for anything. I could go that far. But it stretches credulity to believe he would encourage his father to leave.
I have many other stories that I like better than this one. Now, why do you find this story so beautiful? Behnaz

A beautiful day in north San Diego, a pleasant 70 degrees in the shade, a relaxing garden setting, and hundreds of like-minded flavor connoisseurs was the perfect way to kick off the San Diego craft beer festival season.
Lines were manageable, patrons were considerate and conversational and the beer was exceptional. Possibly the only challenge for festival goers was dwindling down the list of craft beers they must try with their 15 tasters.
Highlights of the craft beer choices for me included: Great Divide oak aged Rumble IPA, Stone IRS in Templeton Rye whiskey barrels, Coronado Brewing's award winning barleywine Scallywag and the 2012 FiftyFifty Eclipse stout in Elijah Craig 12 years barrels.
As an attendee of this particular craft beer festival for the fourth time, I can say that the list remains impressive each year, and does not stay stagnant, with new styles and offerings working their way onto the list.
Stay tuned for the Stone Sour Fest and Pour It Black festivals later this season.
Oakquinox 2014
Oak aged Rumble from Great Divide Brewing to start the festivities; one of only a few IPA available in a sea of aged stouts, sours and porters
Oakquinox 2014-2
A definite highlight of the day for me, 2013 Stone Imperial Russian Stout aged in Templeton Rye whiskey barrels; bold, robust and the whiskey really popped
Oakquinox 2014-3
Evil Twin/Stillwater/Stone "The Perfect Crime" black smoked saison aged in red wine barrels; I am not usually a saison guy, but the combination of flavors was quite surprising
Oakquinox 2014-4
If not my favorite, a definite top five brew of the day; The Lost Abbey Angel's Share Ale 2011 bourbon barrel; bold, smooth, boozy, warming
Oakquinox 2014-5
Mid festival palate wreckage; Moylan's Old Blarney barleywine aged in Heaven Hill Barrels; this festival makes beer guy want to become bourbon guy

Defiant Herman Cain says he won't drop out of race; Mitt Romney says to address allegations
Kraushaar, 55, previously worked as a news reporter, and she has held other U.S. government jobs since she left the restaurant association after she settled her complaint against Cain. She also has written a children's book with her mother-in-law, "Gas Station Charley," about a dog. Her husband, Kevin, has worked as a lobbyist on environmental, municipal and health issues. He has donated money to both Democrats and Republicans. They live in suburban Maryland.
A third woman told The AP last week that she considered filing a workplace complaint against Cain over what she deemed sexually suggestive remarks and gestures that included an invitation to his corporate apartment. And a former pollster for the restaurant association has said he witnessed yet another episode involving a different woman.
The AP has not identified the other woman who filed a claim against Cain while working at the restaurant association. It also has not identified the third woman, who did not file a claim, because it promised confidentiality to her because she said she feared retaliation if her name became public.
Sharon Bialek came forward Monday to say that Cain, an acquaintance, groped her in car in July 1997 after they'd had dinner in Washington. Cain led the association at the time, and the unemployed Bialek was seeking job advice. She said she had been fired from her job raising money for the trade group's education arm — told, she said, that she had not raised enough money.
Early Tuesday, Cain's campaign sought to undercut her credibility.
It issued a tough statement about Bialek including references to civil lawsuits in the Cook County Court system in Illinois allegedly relating to her and cited news reports of her involvement in a paternity case and a bankruptcy filing.
"In stark contrast to Mr. Cain's four decades spent climbing the corporate ladder rising to the level of CEO at multiple successful business enterprises, Ms. Bialek has taken a far different path," the campaign said.
It also questioned whether Bialek had a financial interest in stepping forward.
"Who is financing her legal team, have any media agreed to pay for her story, and has she been offered employment for taking these actions?"
In a round of media interviews, Bialek was asked repeatedly about her motives in speaking out after staying quiet for 14 years.
"I'm just doing this because it's the right thing to do," she said. She said she was neither paid nor offered a job to go public with her allegations. She said she waited so long to come forward because "I was embarrassed ... and I just kind of wanted it to go away."
She said she wasn't paying a fee to Gloria Allred, the attorney whose name has become synonymous with women's rights issues.
Late in the day, Cain fought back, standing before a crush of reporters at a hotel on the outskirts of Phoenix. Outside, protesters waved signs that read: "Hey Herman. How many more women will you be calling liars?"
Cain said he called the news conference because he wanted to speak directly to the public, accusing the media of distorting his response to the allegations. He said he had never seen Bialek until she called her news conference on Monday in New York, alongside attorney Allred.
"I don't even know who this woman is," he said of Bialek. "I tried to remember if I recognized her and I didn't."
Cain said it was "a remote possibility" when asked if it were possible he would recall Bialek's alleged incident in the future.
"I seriously doubt I'm going to have an 'a-ha' moment later," he said.
Cain contended that "the Democratic machine" was pushing the allegations but said he could not point to anyone in particular. He also suggested his accusers were lying.
Earlier, Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who has been a GOP front-runner for months, told ABC News/Yahoo! the allegations were serious "and they're going to have to be addressed seriously." He called the latest accusations disturbing, and Cain didn't disagree.
"He's right. They are disturbing to me," Cain responded. "They are serious. And I have taken them seriously."
But they're untrue, he declared.
Other Republicans sounded alarms about Cain's troubles and the impact on the GOP race as the party gears up to try to defeat President Barack Obama next fall.
"Get all the facts in front of people, otherwise he's going to have this continuing distraction," Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a former Republican National Committee chairman with deep ties to the GOP establishment, told MSNBC.
Though recent polling shows Cain still doing well, party operatives suggested it was only a matter of time before his political standing could suffer.
"Herman's base is going to stick with him," said Republican strategist Rick Tyler, Newt Gingrich's former spokesman. "But the average Republican voter who is not as engaged as intensely in the race, is sick of this and, for Cain, the concern is they will pass on it and pass on him."
Cain looked to keep those supporters in his corner.
"We are not going to allow Washington or politics to deny me the opportunity to represent this great nation," he said.
"As far as these accusations causing me to back off and maybe withdraw from this presidential primary race? Ain't gonna happen. Because I'm doing this for the American people, and the children and the grandchildren."

From Engineering on February 04, 2009 in General
Dominos made the announcement the March issue of the magazine will be their last, after 4 years and 28 issues. Were sad to see Domino go. The CalFinder Home Improvement Blog has turned to Domino Magazine for random web finds, bold and quirky design features, and innovative ideas for the home. We love the publications fun and stylish approach to recreating the home, and well miss the website, too.
Its a definite sign that ad revenue for shelter magazines even the best of them is declining. Other titles to fold over the past year include Home, House & Garden, O at Home, Blueprint, and Time Inc.s Cottage Living, Southern Living, and Coastal Living.
But for now, Domino's still around. Dont miss out on Dominos remaining issues. We wish everyone at the publication the best of luck! The following links about the closure show we're not the only ones who regret this loss:

Spring brings with it a sense of new beginning, as the harsh winter months, and its toll on human health due to the low intensity and duration of sunlight, gives way, to new shoots of life such as grass and flowers that gives we humans a sense of awakening.
How can one tap into this burst of life and energy in nature to achieve better health?
I will provide some answers to this pressing and urgent question.
Spring will soon give way to the hot summer months and the excesses that many of us get into due to the abundance of sunlight that provides us with a lot of energy like a newly recharged battery.
Consequently, it is important to lay a good foundation in spring, to ensure a well- balanced summer.
One of the keys to doing this is to start outdoor exercises again, especially walking, and running for those who can.
This way you will build up your body's resources and wake up every part that fell asleep during the winter so a sudden burst of summer activities is not too stressful on the body's system.
Remember the parks and other places where walking without running into cars is possible. You can also skip and jog in the park
This burst of activities will have the added value of improving the body's circulation.
Spring is a good time to detoxify from the consequence of the sluggish winter months and its effect on the digestive system.
Indulge in a lot fruits and vegetables to effect a natural detoxification system that flows with your body's natural activities. Add Ginger, garlic and onions to your foods and juices to help clean out the lungs and boost your immune system
One last thing, remember to drink a lot of clear, clean, filtered water to prevent dehydration.
Remember to watch the attached video for some important tips and enjoy your spring as you spring forth into good health and get ready for a wonderful summer.

LTclip is very simple! and it's the cheapest i believe, around $10.
ok so i have the original lite touch. This system was purchased pre modded. its an 83850c and im wanting to upgrade to LT+. From what i have gathered through research i cannot recover my key without mra hack or buying chip. I have looked into things like the ltclip etc but was wondering what is recommended for this feat and what would be the simplest to use. Thanks
LTclip is very simple! and it's the cheapest i believe, around $10.
ok so im looking at getting the ltclip and im confused wether i need the ck3 pro/lite. here is the description of the ltclip on one site that sells it
"The LT Clip can be used with either the new LT Switch v2 or the CK3 Probe II. The first batch will be shipped bundled with the LT Switch v2 and then there will be options later."
"Requires Xecuter CK3 Pro or Xecuter CK3 Lite to connect the LT Switch v2 to the Liteon DVD Drive"
so im unsure exactly what i need
My bad, you search for just lt clip. You need the LT Clip v2
Here: http://acidmods.com/shop/product_info.p ... cts_id=151
or here:

You shouldn't need anything else.

As the country suffers its worst violence in weeks, David Cameron calls on the international community to consider its options.
15:47, UK, Tuesday 06 November 2012
David Cameron has suggested that Syria's president Bashar al Assad could be allowed safe passage out of the country if it would guarantee an end to the nation's civil war.
In an interview with Sky News Arabia, the Prime Minister said the international community is not doing enough to stop the fighting and a "political road map" was needed to see Mr Assad leave.
Speaking in Abu Dhabi on the second day of a three-day tour of the Gulf and Middle East, he added that he was committed to work with the opposition both within and outside the country to help bring about a transition.
"I am certainly not offering (Assad) an exit plan to Britain, but if he wants to leave, he could leave, that could be arranged," Mr Cameron said.
Activists say that since Syria's unrest began in March 2011, more than 36,000 people have been killed.
The conflict is now stuck in a military stalemate, which rebel fighters blame on a lack of strategic weapons, such as anti-aircraft missiles.
Appearing on Al Arabiya television about Mr Assad, Mr Cameron continued: "Of course, I would favour him facing the full force of international law and justice for what he's done."
The Prime Minister has previously called the failure of world powers to halt the Assad regime's assault on its opponents a "terrible stain" on the reputation of the deadlocked United Nations.
Syria's allies Russia and China have repeatedly blocked attempts to approve harsher sanctions in the Security Council.
Meanwhile, fighting continues a day after nearly 250 people died in the country's worst violence in weeks and rebels launched one of their deadliest attacks yet.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 247 people were killed on Monday, including 93 soldiers and pro-regime fighters, in the deadliest day in Syria since an attempt to impose a ceasefire for the October Eid al Adha Muslim holiday collapsed.
Another car bomb struck early on Tuesday, causing injuries and significant damage in the city of Mudamiya near the capital, the Observatory said.
The regime also renewed a campaign of air strikes pounding rebel positions, with fighter jets dropping at least two bombs in the heart of the town of Douma, eight miles northeast of the capital.
Syrian state television has also reported that Mohammad al Laham, brother of parliament speaker Jihad al Laham, was "assassinated by terrorists" in Damascus.

Stepping through the door at Northside Tavern on Sunday, June 27 felt like walking through a portal to another time.
The Two Man Gentlemen Band from New York City was already blistering through their take on turn-of-the-century roots music. The duo consists of Andy Bean on tenor guitar and Fuller Condon on stand-up bass. The vibe was decidedly old school.
"We both listen to a lot of 1920s and 1930s dance band records, but all our songs are original," said Bean. "When we sit down to write music, what we listen to comes out."
The group's fashion style also echoes the music.
"Our outfits recall the time too, although my suit is probably from the 1970s instead of the 1920s" said Bean.
"Just a couple guys looking nice," Condon said.
"I think that's timeless – no expiration date on looking good," said Bean.
The show included these types of comedic exchanges between both the performers and the audience.
With song titles such as "There's Something in My Trousers," it is obvious these guys don't take themselves too serious, but Bean said the Vaudeville-like bits flow spontaneously.
"It's a small exaggeration of our personalities," Bean said. "I'm the gregarious, talkative fellow and [Condon] is kind of the straight man."
Condon viewed it another way.
"I was thinking about tickle fights," Condon said. "We can't have those on stage, so we have verbal tickle fights."
The band's sixth album, "Dos Amigos Una Fiesta!" is due out August 31 on Serious Business Records, but fans can buy the album at the shows and from the group's website.
This show marked the band's fourth trip to the Queen City and the room was full of kazoo loving, old-timey appreciating music lovers. The band will be back in the area on Aug. 28 when they play the Whispering Beard Folk Festival in Mountain View, Kent.

Kate and William Expecting First Baby »
"Dec. 3, 2012 -- Prince William and Catherine Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, are expecting their first baby.
The announcement from St. James's Palace was made earlier than normal because Catherine is in the hospital with an acute form "...
Symptoms of acute overdose may include: nausea, vomiting, oliquria, abdominal pain, numbness, tingling of the extremities, rise in blood pressure, in severe cases followed by hypotension, respiratory depression, hypothermia, convulsions, and coma.
Because reports of overdosage with Methergine (methylergonovine maleate) are infrequent, the lethal dose in humans has not been established. The oral LD50 (in mg/kg) for the mouse is 187, the rat 93, and the rabbit 4.5.2 Several cases of accidental Methergine injection in newborn infants have been reported, and in such cases 0.2 mg represents an overdose of great magnitude. However, recovery occurred in all but one case following a period of respiratory depression, hypothermia, hypertonicity with jerking movements, and convulsions.
Also, several children 1-3 years of age have accidentally ingested up to 10 tablets (2 mg) with no apparent ill effects. A postpartum patient took 4 tablets at one time in error and reported paresthesias and clamminess as her only symptoms.
Treatment of acute overdosage is symptomatic and includes the usual procedures of:
- removal of offending drug by inducing emesis, gastric lavage, catharsis, and supportive diuresis.
- maintenance of adequate pulmonary ventilation, especially if convulsions or coma develop.
- correction of hypotension with pressor drugs as needed.
- control of convulsions with standard anticonvulsant agents.
- control of peripheral vasospasm with warmth to the extremities if needed.3

Woman dies in prison: A Pennsylvania woman, Eileen DiNino, died in prison earlier this month while she was serving a two day sentence for her children's unpaid school fines, Salon.com reports.
DiNino, 55, was found dead in her jail cell in Berks County. She had been there for 24 hours when she was found deceased. She had owed $2,000 in fines related to her children's attendance at school. DeNino's cause of death still is undetermined but investigators say it is not considered suspicious.
DeNino had seven children. Her official obituary is posted in this story.
"This lady didn't need to be there," District Judge Dean Patton — who said he was "reluctant" to sentence DiNino — told AP. "We don't do debtors prisons anymore. That went out 100 years ago."
DeNino described her as "a lost soul," the Star Tribune reported, and questioned Pennsylvanian laws that criminalize parental lapses including truancy or failing to pay a trash bill.
DeNino's case is not uncommon. Authorities say that about 1,600 people have been jailed in Berks County alone to pay off similar fines. Most of those are women. The population of Berks County is 413,521. The medium income is $55,021, according to US Census figures.
More than 1,600 people have been jailed in Berks County alone — the majority of them women — because of similar fines.
Judge Patton said he lost sleep over DeNino's death, the AP reports. But he also was conflicted of the effectiveness of punishing parents for the lack of school attendance of their children. The judge noted that a short jail stint can sometimes "break the habit" of parents who would rather party into the night rather than take their kids to school the next day.
CBS News reports, ""What you see is kind of a slice of inner-city life," said lawyer Richard Guida, who handled truancy cases, including DiNino's, as a Reading School District solicitor for more than a decade. "The people home taking care of the children are mothers. Many times, they're overwhelmed, and some of these kids are no angels."
"Language barriers can also be an issue for letters and phone calls between the parents and school, given that the vast majority of the city and school population is Hispanic, he said."
The county's policy has cut the truancy rate by more than 30 percent since it was instituted a few years ago. The program gives families up to 60 days to keep detailed logs of each class and of homework assignments. It is designed to hold parents responsible for their children's school performance.
Patton said that despite the fact that DiNino did not work, she did not help with her four children at home. She thumbed her nose at the court by skipping hearings or arrived late or without the documents she was required to produce..
."She cared about her kids, but her kids ruled the roost," Patton said. "She was just accepting what was coming, and (would) let the cards fall where they may."
Reason.com blasted the Penn. law that resulted in DiNino's imprisonment, More on that in this story.

While doing some research on interactive installations, I found this crew from Lyon, France. Really inspiring work. As some folks might say, these guys are killing it. Straight killing it. A pretty fascinating hybrid of graphic design and a truly multiple choice answer of all of the above, I really admire their ability to not be discipline bound. Alas, another goal, I hope to one day keep for myself. No more boundaries. No more disciplines. But perhaps I am dreaming. Nevertheless. Have a look see. Some really amazing work. Give it up for Trafik.
YouWorkForThemís Michael Paul Young sends us news that he has just finished some visuals for U2. Now thats a heavy gig. Check it out as you have time!
Hello Everybody! Here is my first post on GraphicHug, i'm really glad to join the team! In this first post, i wanted to let you know about this amazing exhibition about Jacques Tati, french filmmaker, now at the CinÈmathËque FranÁaise in Paris. You'll be able to learn more about the filmmaker and actor he was and you'll also be able to see his wonderful strange machines that you can see in hi sfilm (such as the communciation machine, the lighted broom or the column-cum-refuse bin). There are also few pictures from Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau and Willy Ronis and fabulous drawings from Pierre …taix, Jacques Lagrange, Sempe, Cabu, Saul Steinberg, etc. Moreover, the "scenography" of the exhibition, by Macha Makeieff, is just great and fits perfectly with Tati's atmosphere (beautiful big neon lamps, huge letters, props, furniture, etc.) It will last until August, 2nd. If you are or you come to Paris, you should definitely visit it! And if you want to see more about this exhibition, you can visit the CinÈmathËque website and you can watch those two videos from TÈlÈrama and L'Express (interviews of Macha Makaieff, in the CinÈmathËque). (Sorry it's in french!)

I have lately been researching the quirky architectural critic Reyner Banham. Amongst his many loves, Los Angeles took on a profoundly soft spot in his heart. His adoration for the city of Angel's "non-plan," organic layout informed much of his architectural ideals.
In 1972, after writing Los Angeles: the Architecture of Four Ecologies, Banham made a documentary about the City following his exploration of his favorite haunts of fascination. The story begins with Banham expressing his love for driving, (which he learned to do in "order to read Los Angeles in the original",) moving through landmarks such as Pueblo de Rio and the Watts Towers.
This fun BBC documentary can be viewed in full here thanks to Google video. If you find yourself in LA you can also take a bus tour that walks through Banham's thoughts and notes about this city.
Lightness of being is a fascinating short film by Alinka Echeverria capturing synchronize swimmers underwater. Watching the film really alters our perception of space and gravity. Pretty trippy.
The very gifted Mr. Mitch Paone has updated his website with a real nice range of work spanning broadcast, print, branding, art and better yet, music as well. Check out this pretty amazing range of work when you get a chance.
Do we all remember playing video games for the fist time? Bodies contorted, lips curled, and eyes focused? Robbie Cooper has some really nice video work of children playing video games capturing these moments. Sometimes the clips can be funny, scary and intensely emotional. You can view the video on youtube here or visit his site here which has some really nice hi-res video stills. I'd like to thank my brother for introducing me to this stunning video work.
Nice little stop motion piece. Well done.

This week 's The Monday Lust is not about the newest & most cutting edge items, rather the opposite... where to get last season's most coveted & wanted items.
We have all heard the commercials of being a "maxxinista", but I wanted to see if this discount store was all that it claims.... and it was!
TJ Maxx explains that they bring us the best prices from some of the best fashion houses the world over.
"Our buyers are on the hunt over 40 weeks a year for the hottest items of the season. So when a designer overproduces and dept. stores overbuy, we swoop in, negotiate the lowest possible price, and pass the savings on."
Recently I went for a test run & can personally attest that TJ Maxx, a store that I once stuck my nose up to is in fact a destination worth the time. Obviously this is no boutique, but with a little digging there it was... the mecca of designer duds.
There was Pucci, Poleci, Alice & Olivia, Nanette Lapore & Chloe to name a few. When all was said & done, I made out a true "maxxinista" with a fantastic Vince Sweater originally $230 purchased for $65 & a size 14 (with a little tailoring & belting should become a new wardrobe staple) Ralph Lauren Collection jacket originally $1798 purchased for $44. Check out others finds at TJMaxx.com.
Needless to say the trip was a success, but more of an adventure. Those who get the sense of adventure can attest that shopping at discount is an experience & not for the in-and-out shopper, but perfect for those who are willing to use a little creativity with sizing & those who love their labels!
There are so many location in Atlanta. Find the one closest to you.

It is not a secret that non-human animal abuse co-occur in households with domestic violence. Women have a lack of confidence in social workers to guarantee a safe haven for their beloved pets and refuse to separate from them (Strand and Faver, 2005). In fact, women will not leave an abusive situation out of fear the abuser may harm or kill their non-human animal companion(s) (Strand and Faver, 2005; Simmons and Lehmann,2007; Robbins, 2006, Flynn,2000; Ascione, Thompson and Black, 1997). Abusers, acting as emotional blackmailers, " target the animal because of the bond between woman and animal" (Flynn, 2000). The bond between the victim and non-human animal companion consequents in the abuser becoming jealous with increased feelings of resentment towards the non-human companion.
Clifton Flynn gave a survey in a South Carolina battered women's shelter to 107 victims (Flynn, 2000). Results of Flynn's study found that 75% of women who had pets, felt a strong emotional bond with their non-human animal companions (Flynn, 2000). Due to the grave impact non-human animal companions have on the decision-making process of battered women, government officials are starting to acknowledge animal welfare when accessing adult protective service procedures (Peak, Ascione and Doney, 2012).
The Urban Resource Institute People and Animals Living Safely (URIPALS) is a huge progression in the safety of entire families that suffer from domestic violence. URIPALS offer programs and shelter to both human and non-human victims of domestic abuse (http://urinyc.org/). Unfortunately, facilities of this program have a restriction on the type of non-human animals that are allowed to enter. There is a lot of work to be done, but strides are being made.

MOST schools in the News Shopper area are open today with some relaxing their uniform policies because of the wintry weather.
Schools will only close if the headteacher has decided weather conditions are extreme, surface conditions make the site unsafe, or severe transport disruption prevents sufficient numbers of staff getting to school.
In cases such as Prendergast-Ladywell Fields College in Ladywell the headteacher Mrs Whitfield has decided the school can open but has relaxed the uniform.
Her pupils are allowed to wear boots and trainers during the cold snap.
And at Langley Park School for Girls the pupils are being advised to bring a pair of shoes to change into if they wear boots to get to the school in Beckenham.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CT, compared with that of echocardiography and surgery, for differentiating between bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves. MATERIALS AND METhODS: Forty-seven patients with bicuspid valve and 47 patients with tricuspid aortic valve underwent retrospectively ECG-gated dual-source CT and echocardiography. Thirty-four (72%) of the 47 patients with bicuspid aortic valve underwent valve surgery. Two independent blinded observers assessed the CT image quality of the aortic valve during diastole and systole on a 4-point scale, determined which phase allowed the differentiation of valve type, distinguished between tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valves, and assessed for the presence of a raphe. Diagnostic performance of CT was determined using echocardiography and surgery as the reference standard. RESULTS: According to echocardiography and surgery, seven (15%) of the 47 bicuspid aortic valves had no raphe, and 40 (85%) had a raphe. CT image quality was diagnostic (i.e., scores of 1-3) in all 94 patients in both diastole and systole. Among patients with bicuspid aortic valve and no raphe, differentiation between tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valves could be performed in diastole in 100% (7/7) of cases. Among patients with bicuspid aortic valve and raphe, differentiation was possible only in systole in 5% (2/40) of cases and when combining diastole and systole in 95% (38/40) of cases. In three bicuspid aortic valves with raphe, the valve was misclassified by CT as tricuspid aortic valve. Overall sensitivity and specificity of CT for the diagnosis of bicuspid aortic valve were 94% and 100%. CONCLUSION: CT is highly accurate for differentiation between bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves. For bicuspid aortic valves without raphe, diastolic reconstructions are sufficient, whereas in those with a raphe, additional reconstructions in systole are required.

Pre-Market: Facebook Joins the S&P 500; Jobless Claims Rise
Vincent Trivett
Abercrombie & Fitch will be among those leaving the S&P 500.
Stocks were poised to extend yesterday's gains ahead of a flurry of US economic data.
Initial claims for unemployment insurance unexpectedly jumped to 368,000 last week, up 68,000 from the previous week. Economists had expected just 325,000 new claims. Retail sales for November were better than expected, however. Sales increased by 0.7% over October. Excluding autos and gas, sales were up 0.6%, beating forecasts of a 0.2% rise. Last month's export prices rose 0.1% month-over-month and import prices fell 0.6%.
Before the reports came out stock futures were lower as investors continue to worry about the possibility that the Federal Reserve might vote to scale back its asset purchases at its meeting next week.
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) futures were down 0.15% at 15,812.00.
(INDEXSP:.INX) futures fell 0.11% to 1,778.80.
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) futures sank 0.09% to 3,467.50.
European shares also fell overnight, hitting a two-month low. A report today showed that eurozone industrial production unexpectedly fell 1.1% month-over-month in October. Production was 0.2% higher than a year ago, however. Germany fared the worst, with output falling 1.2%. Gold prices also suffered, falling 1.8% to $1,234.40/oz.
Hilton Worldwide Holdings
(NYSE:HLT) will start trading on the
New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE:NYX) today.
(NYES:BX), the private equity manager that currently holds the hotel chain, is set to make up to $8 billion by bringing the company public. The hotelier will raise about $2.34 billion at the IPO. The price, $20 per share, suggests a total valuation of $19.7 billion.
(NASDAQ:FB) shares rose 3.9% after it was announced that it will join the S&P 500 and
(INDEXSP:SP100) indices on Dec. 20. Joining the indices means that index-tracking funds will have to buy up shares of the social network.
Abercrombie & Fitch
(NYSE:ANF) will be among those leaving the index.
Samsung Electronics
(OTCMKTS:SSNLF) lost a court case against
(NASDAQ:AAPL), this time on its own turf. A South Korean court dismissed Samsung's patent infringement claims that would have banned the sale of older iPhone and iPad models in the country.
Ciena Corporation
(NASDAQ:CIEN) fell by more than 10% this morning. The maker of fiber optic cables and other networking equipment reported earnings of $0.16 per share, missing estimates by $0.08.
It was reported in multiple outlets yesterday that former Bank of Israel chief Stanley Fischer has been offered the job of Federal Reserve Vice Chairman. Judging by his past speeches, Fischer could be seen as a monetary dove who favors aggressive stimulus such as the current quantitative easing program.

Designers at New York Fashion Week are channeling slacker-era Seattle's unruly fashion with an affectionate tribute to all things grunge. The autumn/winter '11 shows are "haute off the street" with a Nirvana-style revival that hints at another whiff of teen-spirit in the air. All too reminiscent of the early '90s inspired trend, this prevailing motif suggests that every step forward yields one step back.
Marc Jacobs first introduced the grunge aesthetic to the runway with his spring/summer '93 collection for Perry Ellis' ready-to-wear womenswear line. While Seattle's unkempt alternative artists like Nirvana and Pearl Jam became commercially successful, Jacobs translated their anti-fashion in plaids, thermals and loose fitting dresses. Ana Sui also paid homage to the trend's apparel trifecta with a collection of '70s print frocks paired alongside army fatigue jackets. At the time, Jacobs and Sui's vagabond-chic pieces captured the beauty of what might have otherwise seemed like an identity crisis amid Doc Marten-stomping teen culture.
Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is now taking us back to that bygone era as designers channel a new interpretation of grunge chic. ADAM's collection featured black lace tees over plaid skirts and prom-esque tulle dresses with chunky socks and high heels, while Thakoon took to the plaid parade with a red and blue puffer bustled and set atop skirts with pants. Joseph Altuzarra found a place for army parkas and dresses to coexist in his Kate Moss-inspired collection of classic bomber jackets and t-shirt dresses sprinkled in fringe and beading.
Neon infused graphic prints were captivating at both Edun and Libertine, while designers like Chris Benz and Daryl K used black mesh, leather and velvet to poke at grunge texture. Y-3 and Rag & Bone walked to the beat of '70s mod styles with braided hair and utilitarian outerwear like varsity jackets and trenches. Lastly, Alexander Wang and Richard Chai Love mixed grays, blacks and neutrals with layers and tailored jackets over long skirts. All quintessential elements of the '90s grunge-glam cool of Seattle's finest fashion.
