Parabon NanoLabs' Foundation
In 2005, Dr. Michael Norton, a pioneer in the field of DNA-based nanotechnology, and Dr. Steven Armentrout, serving as CEO of Parabon Computation (PCI), began discussing the computational roadblocks then hindering progress in the field of DNA nanotechnology. Over the next few years, PCI developed the inSēquio™ Design Studio, an innovative software application that enables DNA researchers to design and optimize nanostructures made with DNA self-assembly. On 4 March 2008, after proving the commercial potential of their DNA nanotechnology in the laboratory, PCI and Dr. Norton founded Parabon NanoLabs with the mission to create breakthrough products using DNA. The initial focus was to develop oncology therapeutics using DNA nanostructures. Other therapeutic applications soon followed, such as the development of synthetic vaccines using similar DNA technology. In recent years, the Company applied the bioinformatics infrastructure it developed for drug development to the problem of DNA phenotyping and is now also developing trait prediction capabilities for forensics applications.

Pain Management Health Center
Propofol: Expert Q&A
Propofol is a strong anesthetic that's used for surgery, some medical exams, and for sedation for people on ventilators -- never as a sleep aid. It's given by IV and should only be administered by a medical professional trained in its use. It takes effect in a matter of seconds.
"It is very fast-acting and works by slowing brain wave activities, says John F. Dombrowski, MD, an anesthesiologist/pain specialist at the Washington Pain Center in Washington, D.C.
Recommended Related to Pain Management
Is Your Pain Acute or Chronic?
Pain is a normal part of life: a skinned knee, a tension headache, a bone fracture. But sometimes pain becomes chronic -- a problem to explore with your doctor. WebMD asked Eduardo Fraifeld, MD, president of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, to help readers understand acute vs. chronic pain.
Read the Is Your Pain Acute or Chronic? article > >
Dombrowski, who is a board member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, talked with WebMD about propofol's uses and abuses.
Does propofol have approved or off-label uses besides for surgical anesthesia?
No."I know of no off-label use or need for propofol," Dombrowski says. "It has a perfect place in the medical community, and that's in a surgical suite or ambulatory care setting."
Is it unusual for propofol to be used outside of a hospital setting?
"It's only to be used in a medical setting," Dombrowski says. "Outside of a hospital, it may be used in an ambulatory care center or a doctor's office, but only if it's administered by a trained professional, not by the doctor performing the procedure. You can't do your operation properly and do sedation at the same time. You can't serve two masters. That will lead to sloppy surgery or sloppy anesthesia care, and patients don't deserve that."
How dangerous is propofol?
Propofol is a potentially deadly drug in the wrong hands, and there is no room for error.
"It's only designed for people trained to do advanced cardiac life support," Dombrowski says. "It induces a deep level of sleep and sedation, and it can cause your blood pressure to go down and your breathing to stop. You can die. Patients have to be monitored beat by beat, minute by minute."
Can any doctor administer propofol, or is it more controlled?
"There's no DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) licensing requirement, so the answer is no. It's not controlled and any physician can use it," Dombrowski says. "But I hope that physicians who are not trained to use it will have the insight to say, 'This is out of my comfort zone. What business do I have using this? None.'"

Excerpt of Sanctuary Unbound by Moira Rogers & Enter to win all FOUR of the original RED ROCK PASS ebooks (ends 30/01/12)
From the time we announced the final Red Rock ebook in 2009, people have been asking us when we'd go back to the Sanctuary world and write more about werewolves and their witch rivals. In the beginning we didn't want to return–we had our four books and our two prequel novellas, and those were the stories we had to tell. But people kept asking, and we kept saying, "Well, what if…okay, no, but maybe if…"
A watched pot never boils, and I'm starting to think a watched plot is the same way. The harder we tried to force ourselves to come up with the right story, the more they slipped away. Finally we set the idea aside for a while, reluctantly admitting that maybe it had been too long in any case. We'd missed our window. It was time to work on other–
BOOM! That was our idea, knocking us head over heels. It hit us so hard we sat down and wrote Haunted Sanctuary instead of the book we were supposed to be writing. It wasn't the story we'd originally imagined. It takes place in a new town, with a new cast of characters, and is set several years after the end of Red Rock Pass. You don't have to be familiar with any of the previous books to pick up Haunted Sanctuary…
…but hey. Any excuse to give away books is good for us!
Thanks to the generosity of Samhain Publishing–and with the assistance of many awesome bloggers–we get to spend the next twenty days giving away 80 ebooks! Those of you who haven't read the Red Rock Pass books will have twenty different chances to win the entire set in the ebook format of your choice.
In honor of that, we're going to be revisiting some of our favorite scenes from each of the four books…and maybe showing a few sneaky peeks at the next chapter in the Sanctuary Universe!
Sanctuary Unbound: Meet the Vampire Lumberjack
aka Yes, Yes. He Works All Night & He Sleeps All Day
Ahhhhh, Sanctuary Unbound. This book was more popularly known as the Vampire Lumberjack book. Adam Dubois is a character who started as an idea and a joke and turned into one of my favorite heroes I've ever written. A grumpy, anti-social logger-turned-vampire who'd been hiding in the woods for a century offered endless opportunities.
Vampires are rare in the Sanctuary world, and plenty of other characters (some of our previous heroes, included) were convinced they didn't exist at all. This is partly due to a jealousy of power and partly because both wolves and witches will ignore their mutual animosity in favor of killing vampires–who tend to look at witches as a delicious snack and wolves as a glorious buffet.
Poor Cindy is the pack doctor, and she doesn't know what to think when a vampire strolls into her home. He's handsome, he's dressed in flannel, he's annoyingly old-fashioned…and she's pretty sure he's teasing her. A lot.
Cindy took a gulp of her water and sat across the table from him. May as well get it out there. "What about you? Do you need anything?"
Amusement flashed in his eyes. "Salt and pepper?"
He was a smartass, but she'd asked for it with her vague words. She retrieved the salt and pepper shakers from the shelf above the tiled backsplash behind the stove. "You'll have to indulge me with a few silly questions. I know nothing about vampires."
"I eat. I sleep. I don't burst into flame in the sunlight." If he had fangs, his smile didn't show them. "And sometimes I drink blood."
"Mm-hmm. That's the part I'm curious about."
"Not surprised. Not many vampires stray out of New England these days."
"So you won't mind enlightening me."
His gaze dropped to the table, studying the salt shaker as he upended an unhealthy amount of salt onto his food. "What do you want to know? The how, the why, or the how much?"
"Yes." She tilted her head and smiled wryly. "I'm the pack doctor. These things matter to me."
"I'm not going to lure your pack mates into the woods for a nibble, if that's what you're worried about. I need some blood if I'm going to be walking into a fight, but Dylan's already offered."
Protectiveness shot through her. "He did, did he?"
One of Adam's eyebrows rose. "I'm sorry, do I need your permission to accept his offer?"
"I have no claim on Dylan." It would take the wolf inside her a little time to catch up with that, but it didn't change the facts. "Why him?"
"I've talked to five wolves from your pack," he murmured, holding up fingers as he counted each one off. "Dylan, Joe, Brynn, Gavin and Sam. Three of them are hurt or sick, and Dylan said Samantha got herself tangled up in a binding spell with a hungry vamp on the other end."
She found herself inexplicably taken aback by his explanation. "If it's going to potentially affect anyone's health, you come to me. It's what I do."
Adam frowned. "Come to you? To find another willing donor?"
"Of course. I could do it myself, if I needed to."
"Do what yourself? Find me a donor? Or be a donor?"
"Be a—" Her voice cracked, and she took a bracing gulp of water. "Be a donor. Hell, we could do it here in my office. Or do you…need to drink from someone?"
He looked like he was trying not to smile. "The blood is mostly incidental. It's the power I need, especially if I'm going to be fighting one of my own. The power comes from the willing gift of blood or the violent taking of it. I've never had much luck with drawing blood and saving it for later."
Cindy had encountered plenty of things that were more of the realm of magic than they were of the physical. It had been one of the hardest things to reconcile as a doctor and a werewolf. "What's your usual ritual, then?"
"My usual ritual is not applicable in this situation." That amusement in his eyes had faded, replaced with something almost like self-consciousness. "Not with Dylan, in any case. I'm hoping Sasha might be able to come up with some sort of magical ritual to enhance the power of the gift, now that she has access to her books."
She'd learned to recognize evasion in her patients, and she saw it now in Adam. "How do you usually obtain the power, Adam? The blood?"
He sighed, a soft, tired sound. "From a lover, Dr. Shepherd."
It was so obvious that she felt like an idiot. "Oh."
"Yes." His mouth twitched. "Would you like me to attempt to explain the relationship between sex and magic? I'm not sure I know the details, but I could try."
"Wolves have plenty of connection between sex and magic. It's not an—an alien concept."
"I know. Most of my companions came from the local werewolf pack." He was definitely laughing at her. "It can be a mutually beneficial arrangement under the right circumstances."
"I see." She capped her bottle and rose. "I'll talk to Sasha, see if she manages to come up with anything. For the time being, I think you should consider me your potential donor. Just to avoid complications."
His gaze stayed fixed on her with an almost tangible weight, and there was no mistaking his sharp interest or the heat in his stare. "It will be my pleasure."
"Yes?" She had to get away from him before the throb of lust twisting through her made her do something crazy like ask him into her bed. "I suppose we'll find out."
"I suppose we will." He seemed to shake himself, and the oddly formal tone of his words vanished. "Now if it's okay with you, I'm going to eat. It was a damn long drive and I hate automatic transmissions."
"Make yourself at home." The words came out husky, almost inviting, and Cindy hoped he couldn't sense her arousal as she turned to the door. "Good night."
"Good night, Dr. Shepherd."

Beginning in just a couple of days on March 5th and continuing until May 18th is the extraordinary International Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot. Sponsored by HGTV, this event is not to be missed! In addition to the many great attractions already located at the park, this show of outdoor delights features topiary displays, outdoor kitchens, play areas for children, concerts, and so much more.
One of the most visible sights to behold at the Festival are the topiary displays located throughout the park, many of which are designed to look like classic Disney characters. These include but are not limited to Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Buzz Lightyear, Phineas and Ferb, Bambi, Beauty and the Beast, Lady and the Tramp, and the Lion King. In addition to getting pictures taken at the character greetings, one may want to get their photographs with these wonderfully unique displays.
One of the Festival's highlights is the Flower Power Concert Series, which features many great performers from the 1960s to the 1980s. Starting off on March 7th is the Guess Who, best known for their song, "American Woman." Samples of more great performances to follow include the Village People (April 11th to the 13th), STARSHIP (May 2nd to the 4th), and Chubby Checker & the Wildcats (May 9th to the 11th).
So be sure to check out more about this great Festival! And for more information, be sure to tune in to part two of this article!

Two points are two points but, man, that was uglier than it needed to be.
Playing against the worst team in the league who also played last night and didn't even get into Detroit until 4:00 AM, you could expect the Red Wings to take a 3-0 lead early. Unfortunately, given Detroit's penchant for giving up leads, you could also expect them to let the Sabres back in it, which they did as Buffalo cut it to 3-2 by the midway point of the third period. The Sabres had all the momentum late but couldn't get a shot on net on their final shift as the Red Wings held on for the win.
Coupled with Columbus' late loss to Chicago, that gives Detroit a three point lead for the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. They're up four on ninth-place Toronto with a game in hand. New Jersey is six back, Washington seven, and Carolina is all-but-eliminated at nine back.
Montreal is up tomorrow night, coming off a 7-4 win in Ottawa.
With the win, Red Wings' head coach Mike Babcock moved into a tie with Jack Adams for first place all-time in wins among Detroit coaches with 413. Babcock reached that mark in 265 fewer games.

Church of McQueen
Nadia Dabbakeh | Photo: Courtesy Images | June 25, 2013
All hail Sarah Burton—the McQueen matriarch conceived a new store concept with David Collins Studio that's just as delightfully distorted as her designs.
The Highland Park Village boutique is bathed in dove gray, lilac, soft gold and whites, creating a calming effect. Molded plaster panels of seahorse tails, tangled leaves, shells, cactus flowers and mushroom gills are rather charming.
Look more closely and McQueen's signature skulls and grimacing gargoyles tell a more sinister tale. Smashed marble is reassembled to create warped floors. Velvet furniture, soft to the touch, sits on solid bronze monster claws. Impish monkeys on chains hold up the gray shelving. Inspired by all things beautifully warped—Antonio Gaudi's architecture, Francis Bacon's paintings of Popes, and Mother Nature's very own flora and fauna—the store is a reflection of McQueen's exaggerated, take-a-closer-look aesthetic.
It's the perfect home for Burton's women's and menswear collections, including runway pieces, ready-to-wear and accessories. If these walls could talk... well, they're already saying quite a lot.

Hello I have Fedora 16 with LXDE and I want to connect ipod shuffle 2nd gen 1GB. According to this page ipod shuffle led blinking codes when amber LED is blinking this means that device is accessing by some proces or it is syncing data. The following I have observed:
When I connect ipod, the device it is automatically mounted and amber LED is blinking. So what I did is that I have used fuser and lsof (also on /dev) to find which process is accessing device, but I have found nothing and device was still amber blinking.
Then I tried to umount the automatically mounted device to figure out if LED will be shining, but nothing changed it was always blinking even FS was umounted.
So my third attempt was to use the "eject" button which is part of FileManager PCManFM contained in LXDE and is shown on mounted file systems. This helped! amber blinking stops and start amber shining, after few minutes the ipod was charged so the LED was green shining.
My question therefore is: What does the "eject" button does differently than classic umount command?

McMullen's memorable debut novel centers on a spy turned stay-at-home mom.

What begins as an amicable married couple's tennis tournament explodes into a heated social standoff as the competing pairs indiscreetly boast of monetary success and soullessly slam balls crosscourt in this hilarious comedy of manners. Wickham (author of the Shopaholic series) portrays the adult competition as a childish game of alcohol induced envy that gets out of control quick: "You think I'm an evil bastard who married Cressida for her money! Of course you do. Well, maybe I did. But all I can say is much fucking good it did me," says one spouse, Charles.
Four women touched by the bonds of surrogacy are the stars of Weiner's latest lady-centric novel. An unconventional, engaging love story emerges between these women and their new infant additions.

In this hilarious novel, Bess Gray meets the man of her dreams—or so she thinks—until he proposes and she finds out he has eight ex-wives. Bess's grandparents, her gay neighbor and a dog set off to find the exes and determine if she can agree to be wife number nine.
Written like a hilarious episode of Sex in the City , this novel centers on three longtime friends who set for a vacation in North Carolina's Outer Banks.

Website newsWritten by Amy Baillieu
We last redesigned our website in March 2013, and the increase in usage and appreciation was immediate. But all websites need to evolve, and ours is no different. We realise that the current website isn't meeting all our high standards for ABR Online (e.g. certain pages take too long to load). We have listened to feedback from subscribers, survey respondents, and those who have emailed us or contacted us over social media. We are most grateful for your feedback.
Our trusty web developer is hard at work on a new, speedier version of ABR Online. The revamped website will feature a newsier home page and contents pages that are quicker to load and that will make it easier for you to locate the features that interest you. We will also make sure that logging in to ABR Online is more intuitive for individual subscribers. Arts Update will be much more prominent and well ordered.
The new ABR website will be launched in June – the next step in our digital expansion.
Best wishes

KT Tunstall on Her Upcoming Tour, Singing with PS 22, and Halloween Plans
The fact that KT Tunstall is beginning her 2010 North American tour in Portland, Ore. on Halloween is not lost on the Scottish singer/songwriter. Though she's never spent Halloween in the United States, Tunstall recognizes the holiday is a big deal to Americans ("British people just put on witches' hats and have a beer") and has decided to make her first concert of the current tour a fancy dress party where everyone should come as their favorite dead rock star. Though the singer, who's perhaps best known in the U.S. for her catchy singles "Black Horse and A Cherry Tree" and "Suddenly I See," won't reveal exactly who she'll be dressing up as, she does promise some cross-dressing will be involved.
Tunstall recently spoke to us from the road, where she is in rehearsals for her upcoming tour in support of "Tiger Suit," her just-released third studio album. Recorded earlier this year at Berlin's famed Hansa Studios, where both U2 and David Bowie have recorded albums, "Tiger Suit" features a mix of electronica and folksiness, in a style she's dubbed "nature techno."
The Wall Street Journal: While recently in New York, you sang with the famed PS 22 elementary school choir. What was that experience like?
It's really impressive. What [choir director] Gregg [Breinberg]'s managed with that program is amazing. When I showed up, they had already learned two songs off my new album, and also "Imagine" for me. They are really talented kids.
What do you think of the phenomenon of unknowns, like P.S. 22, being discovered on online sites like YouTube?
They're very much a new generation of artists. There was this incredible window where computer-savvy kids were able to figure out how to reach a massive audience before everyone else worked out how to use it for themselves. When I started in music, the Internet was not used in the way that it is now. MySpace wasn't around, and if it was, it was young. The big YouTube generation hadn't begun, so it's been interesting for me to see how useful it can be. But it's also a double-edged sword, where on the one hand, you can get information to a lot of people immediately. I still remember doing gigs in pubs and sending out postcards to promote them and fans would get the postcards after the gig was already over, and in that respect — being able to organize a gig in a hour — is great. The downside, of course, is that it's obliterated CD sales and there's less financial support for artists. It's not any easier for a new artist, but the good thing is that you can reach out.
In terms of innovating, you're releasing different bonus tracks for several of your albums as they're released in different countries.
You've got to give people an incentive not to steal, but it's hard, because that's the way people of a certain generation have grown up. I'm not an advocate of giving music away for free, but you certainly can get new material out there — especially in terms out putting out tracks that didn't fit for a particular album, but are still interesting.
I have this B-side called "Barbie" and it's this really nostalgic jazz song about the kind of music that you'd play in the ballroom in "The Shining." It has the lyrics "Give her sisters, give her brothers / But compared to me and others / She'll always be a motherless girl," and is about how Barbie's been given this corporate gay husband and no one ever made her a mother. It's a completely weird song — it wouldn't fit on an album, but it's great.
How would you change the current model of music publishing?
The industry is way behind — it's such a bummer that the record industry was burning, the companies sat back and smoked cigars. It didn't have to go that way. if they had appreciated what a massive deal that was, they could have avoided, to some degree, this new attitude about piracy toward music, but now the horses have bolted and it's too late to stop them.You have a whole generation moving forward that have no idea that piracy is wrong. I have no idea where things will go. I recently this this report that said that something like 64% of the jobs that our kids will have in the future haven't even been created yet. It's a brave new world, but as for how it's going to go down, is that it's going to come down to young entrepreneurs who will come up with new ideas of getting music out that will also finance the musicians but also leave them room to take a cut. Record labels will only stay live when they have a function. Though that's not been my personal experience. I have a lot of support from my deal and a good team helping me out. But the overall future is yet to be seen.

The AFI Conservatory Directing Workshop for Women applications will open on July 15.
Successful candidates will have demonstrated collaborative skills and leadership ability in their professional careers. An affinity for identifying script material with a strong story (whether written by the applicant or another writer) is critical for consideration. Applicants must also possess a willingness and ability to fundraise and network in support of their productions.
Up to eight projects are selected to attend this intensive hands-on training workshop, after which the participants direct their projects using a production package provided by AFI. On average, approximately 6% of applicants are selected to participate in the program.
Because the DWW is designed to prepare female directors for professional success, all projects must be produced within the parameters of AFI policies.
AFI provides mentorship, a unique contract with the Screen Actors Guild, production equipment, production insurance, potential for production-related discounts with local vendors and distribution opportunities for the completed project. AFI also provides access to the network of DWW Alumnae.
Applicants must have a minimum of three years professional experience working in the arts. This experience may not include credits earned within an academic program. Please note that applicants with professional credits as narrative directors — defined as a directing credit on a nationally broadcast or nationally distributed narrative non-documentary feature film or television program — are not eligible to apply.
Applications are reviewed in a three-tier process.
All applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents (with Permanent Resident Card) and must reside and work in the United States or its territories during the workshop period. All participants are required to maintain current health insurance through the course of the DWW.
An approximate eight-month commitment to the workshop is necessary. The four-week workshop intensive in May requires full-time attendance at the AFI Campus, where the average workshop day is between eight and twelve hours. Additionally, we will have four mandatory weekend workshops January – April at AFI.
Following the workshop, candidates will be engaged in pre-production, production and post-production for the narrative projects. There are required delivery dates in pre-production and post-production, but the participant is not otherwise required to be on campus for those phases.
Please read carefully as the application and requirements change from year to year.
*Great directors must also be great storytellers. The ability to identify or create material for development is vital to a director's success. The screenplay does not have to be written by the applicant. However, if an outside writer's material is used, all necessary rights must be obtained from the author and submitted with the application, including the rights to adapt previously existing material. Please email this signed agreement to email@example.com and it will be added to your application.
AFI cannot provide critical comment or advice on submitted materials. AFI does not return or release application materials.

On Wednesday morning, a Facebook post from the Humane Society of Waterville, introduced two dogs who had been left in an outdoor dog run; the dogs' mouths were full of porcupine quills.
A handwritten note about the dogs had been pushed into the door. The note stated:
"The black one's name is Magnum. The white one's name is Buddy (Bud). Couldn't afford them. Family is extremely heartbroken."
That night it had snowed again in Waterville, and at 7:30 in the morning, when the dogs were found, they were wet, shivering, and in pain.
The dogs were rushed to the New England Animal Hospital where the quills were removed. The dogs are currently on antibiotics due to residual infections. Extremely upset from being abandoned and in pain, the dogs have been severely traumatized:
"There they received their rabies vaccines; due to running very high temps, they received antibiotics. They were sedated to remove the quills from deep down in their mouths. They are recovering quietly here at the shelter. The older one was crying on the shoulder of a kennel tech. The baby was curled into a fetal position just now, crying."
The Humane Society of Waterville will be paying for the care and all expenses related to the dogs. Both of the dogs will need to be neutered are both reported to be full of tapeworms.
No charges will be levied against the owners, but the Humane Society is asking the owners to come forward to officially surrender the dogs. Magnum and Bud will then be eligible for adoption as soon as they recover.
The veterinarian bill for Magnum and Buddy so far is $565. If you would like to help this fine organization, please consider donating by clicking here.

Christie Brinkley
"I wish my butt did not go sideways, but I guess I have to face that." - Christie Brinkley
The former Mrs. Billy Joel, Christie Brinkley has been on the cover of more than 500 magazines, three of which were consecutive Sports Illustrated swimsuit editions. She was a supermodel before the term supermodel was even invented. For some people, however, she'll always remain that fox in the Ferrari in National Lampoon's Vacation.
She represented Cover Girl in their advertisements for 20 years, the longest running contract in modeling history, and lest we forget her gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition between 1979 and 1981.
All in all, she appeared on over 500 magazine covers, including People, Paris Match, and Glamour, in her long career, and broke sales records with her Sports Illustrated calendar. What really thrust her into the mainstream was her nine-year marriage to celebrated piano man Billy Joel, which ended in 1994. She appeared in a number of his music videos and painted the artwork for his River of Dreams album.
Although she played the role of the girl in the Ferrari in two of the National Lampoon's Vacation movies, she was never really interested in the Hollywood game. She has appeared on numerous talk shows and, now that her golden modeling years are behind her, she has turned to painting, photography and charity work. She was even a New York State delegate at the 2000 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles. She's simply unstoppable.
Christie Brinkley BiographyThe world of international fashion was changed forever on February 4, 1954, when Christie Lee Hudson was born in the land of the rich and famous, Malibu, California. Her father was a television writer, who worked on shows such as The Virginian and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. She obviously had an artistic nature imprinted in her genes. After having attended a French-American high school, Le Lyce Franais de Los Angeles, Christie moved to Paris. At the tender age of 18, she enrolled in art school.
After graduation, she worked as an illustrator for three years. And that's where the fairy tale begins. Like a plot her father could have written, an American photographer spotted her on the streets of Paris. Although he convinced her that she had what it takes to be a model, she was hesitant to leave her creative job. Still, she gave in and became part of the famous Ford modeling agency. On catwalks everywhere, she was an instant hit.
the new face
In 1976, she signed a contract with the cosmetics line Cover Girl that began their 20-year partnership, a feat as yet unsurpassed in the modeling industry. In 1979, she appeared on the cover of the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated. The editors liked her so much that they asked for a repeat performance the two following years as well -- another industry first.
Christie has appeared on over 500 magazine covers around the world. A bona fide superstar, magazines like Vogue, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan and Time, all wrote articles about her. Her presence on the cover of Life magazine made it their best-selling issue of all-time. In addition, she lent her face to such products as Prell shampoo and Chanel perfume.
uptown girl
In 1981, she and her husband of eight years, Jean-Francois Allaux, divorced. But Christie hadn't given up on love. In 1985, she married famous piano man Billy Joel and soon they had a daughter, Alexa Rae. Christie appeared in a number of the singer's music videos and was the inspiration for his major hit "Uptown Girl." She even had her artwork featured on the cover of his River of Dreams album.
Unlike other supermodels, she had no aspirations of becoming a movie star. However, she did appear as Chevy Chase's fantasy girl in the blockbuster National Lampoon's Vacation in 1983; she reprised her role in the 1997 sequel, Vegas Vacation. In 1992, she joined CNN, where she hosted Living in the '90s with Christie Brinkley, a short-lived show where she introduced filmed segments, and two years later, she appeared as herself in a top-rated episode of Mad About You.
new direction
As the '80s faded away, and her All-American looks ceased to be in great demand, Christie turned her attention elsewhere. In 1997, she hosted the most profitable infomercial in America for Total Gym. The following year, she launched her own perfume, Believe.
A true Renaissance woman, she also wrote a best-selling fitness book, and is also a gifted photographer. In addition to having had her work published in periodicals like Autosprint and American Photographer, she participated in a number of major boxing events for Don King, as ring photographer. What's more, she has designed a line of women's eyewear and holds patents for toys for toddlers.
Since having divorced Billy Joel in 1994, she has been married twice and has conceived two more children. She is currently married to architect Peter Cook, and when she's not busy working, she spends her time supporting causes like nuclear disarmament and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The issue:
There are two issues here that effect all years.
The first is the oil that Honda uses. The forks quickly gain a harsh feeling when the oil
turns to something I have best heard described as "whale snot". It gets really thick,
with lumpy, snotty, heavy strings in it.
The second issue is more serious. It also effects all
years in small numbers. Several guys have found rust on the steel fork internals. This will
quickly accelerate wear and decrease the damping abilities of your forks. My'00 did not have this issue.
The Fix:
Fixing the fork oil is the easy one. Either break
down and clean the forks (best) or just flush them with a good oil. You may even be able to
get it covered under warranty if you discover it soon after purchase. Stock is 5wt, many have
liked the feel of the forks better with 2.5wt.
The rust is a much bigger issue. Try to get this one
warranteed. It seems to be there on showroom bikes, so you want to check for it as soon as you can.
The only fix is to replace the parts for a couple hundred bucks, or try polishing them if the
pitting is not too bad. The piston rods ride in teflon bushings though, so chances are that if they
are pitted, you have wrecked them. Again, go for the warranty route.

The advertising slogan for this year's Disney campaign is "What Will You Celebrate?" The theme parks want all of their visitors to have something to celebrate, and they also want their visitors to give back.
Disney's goal for 2010 is to get one million people to volunteer a day of service in their communities. For every one day of service, participants will receive one free ticket to either Walt Disney World or Disneyland, in a program called, "Give a Day. Get a Disney Day."
To get started in the program, an individual first needs to select a volunteer opportunity with a participating organization. The Disney Parks Web site offers a search program to assist in finding an activity.
The site also allows volunteers to manage their activities and eventually print a voucher redeemable for a 1-day, 1-theme park ticket after the volunteer activity is completed. Make sure to pay close attention to the voucher, as it will give detailed information on exactly where or when the ticket can be redeemed. The ticket can also be donated to a charitable organization.
In order to earn the free day, participants must pre-register and sign up through the Disney Parks Web site, they must be at least 18 years of age to sign up themselves or a child, and children who want to participate must be at least six years of age. The program ends once all the tickets are distributed, or on Dec. 15, 2010, whichever occurs first.
If a trip to Walt Disney World or Disneyland is in your future, consider volunteering. Help those in your community while earning a free ticket to the happiest place on earth.

A Potter County jury has found an Amarillo man not guilty of murder in a trial that concluded today.
Juan Jesus Pinones-Aguilar was on trial in the 2008 shooting death of Manuel Rudy Sanchez, 25.
The two were at La Pachanga Bar, 1104 E. Amarillo Blvd., when police said gunshots were fired during a brawl involving more than 30 people just before last call in the early morning hours of May 18, 2008.
The fight spilled into the parking lot and Sanchez was shot several times in the upper chest. He died a short time later at Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo.
Police later arrested Pinones-Aguilar, 28, on a murder charge. Pinones-Aguilar had been in the Potter County jail on a $500,000 bond.
The jury deliberated for more than three hours this afternoon in the trial that started Monday. Prosecutors rested their case Wednesday.
The trial took place in 251st District Court, with Judge Ana Estevez presiding.

COLUMBIA, Mo. - More great pitching, stellar defense and clutch hitting helped the No. 11 Huskies clinch the first spot to the WCWS in 2013 with a 1-0 win over No. 6 Missouri (38-14) on Friday night in Columbia, Mo.
Washington (43-15) will return to Oklahoma City for the first time since 2010 and the 11th time in school history. The Huskies will face the winner of the Eugene Super Regional featuring Oregon and Nebraska on Thursday at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.
Junior Bryana Walker (La Quinta, Calif.) had a no-hitter going until the sixth. Her hitless streak was 12.2 innings going back to game one of Regionals in Seattle vs. Portland State. She threw a no-hitter vs. Hawai'i in the Regional Championship last weekend. Walker earned the win (19-7) after allowing just two hits in 5.0 innings.
In relief, junior Kaitlin Inglesby (Portland, Ore.) earned the save, her second of the year, pitching two perfect innings.
The first inning pretty much told the whole story of the game. With the UW as the designated home, Missouri was set to make a statement in the top of the first.
With two outs and one on, Mackenzie Sykes drilled a ball to deep center but sophomore Kylee Lahners (Laguna Hills, Calif.) robbed the home run over the fence to keep the Tigers off the board.
The Huskies took that momentum and in their first at bat of the game. Junior Victoria Hayward (Mountain View, Calif.) hit a solo home run to right field and that would stand for the game-winner.
Each team had just two hits in the game, Hayward with both for the Huskies. The Tigers drew four walks and had a runner at third in the sixth after breaking up the no-hitter but three groundouts to the left side of the infield ended the threat.
Washington looked to extend its lead in the sixth after Hayward walked on four pitches. A sac bunt by Hooch Fagaly (Chino, Calif.) moved her to second and she reached third on an error at Inglesby's at bat. Hayward went home on a ground out but was called out at the plate.
More information on the WCWS will be provided on www.gohuskies.com throughout the week.

Best Man and Maid of Honour
The Best Man: Prince Harry
Prince Harry wore a Blues and Royals officer's uniform in Dismounted Review Order, with a Forage Cap.
The Prince wore aiguillettes, a cross-belt and gold waist belt with sword slings, but no sword.
He also wore Wings of the Army Air Corps and Golden Jubilee and Afghanistan Campaign medals.
His Forage Cap carried the badge of the Blues and Royals, which features the insignia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter with The Queen's cipher.
The Maid of Honour: Pippa Middleton
Catherine Middleton's 27-year-old sister also wore a dress designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. Her dress was made of ivory satin crepe, with the same embroidery and organza-covered buttons as her sister's wedding dress. It was figure-hugging, with cap sleeves and a cowl neck.
Miss Middleton wore her hair half-up, half-down, clipped with lily-of-the-valley flwers at the back.
Her parents had given her a pair of floral diamond earrings as a present, designed, like her sister's, by Robinson Pelham.
