text: 17 January 2008 archive See all show photos THE Dries van Noten man is an artistic, sensitive soul for autumn/winter 2008-9. Bright silk scarves worn with oversized artist's shirts were showcased alongside tartan trenches teamed with pillarbox red shoes. The show, held in a church with a live classical band, was a welcome blast of colour in the dreary Paris weather; bold stripes took over the knitwear, eclectic prints brightened up shirts and some of the silk trousers, while a pair of purple velvet trousers was teamed with a stylish double-breasted suit jacket. When the designer did stick with convention and send out a model in a pinstripe suit, there were hints of rebellion in the red piping on the trouser legs and along the hem.

Increasing risk oversight is a priority of boards and management since the global financial crisis, but many are unprepared to do this according to a recent report from the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA). A Framework for Board Oversight of Enterprise Risk presents a nine-step roadmap to help directors identify, understand and address enterprise risk and recognize potential compounding effects when risks collide. The roadmap is sound and also can be a valuable resource for risk management professionals.
The CICA report states "a common concern among boards of directors is the lack of a comprehensive framework and toolsets to assist boards to structure an effective, robust risk oversight process." Key activities in the CICA framework include: identifying risks; analyzing, validating and prioritizing them; determining risk tolerance and risk appetite; managing risk through various response strategies; and ongoing monitoring. These are similar to recommendations included in ISO's risk management standard (31000) and their business continuity management system standard (22301). Read More

Patriot League All-Access
Feb. 28, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - There are only a handful of basketball games on Patriot League All-Access in March, but they are all big ones with the final contests of the regular season and parts of both the Men and Women's League Tournaments streamed live.
Fans purchasing All-Access for the monthly rate of $7.95 in March will get all of the basketball regular-season finales on Saturday, with the exception of the Army/Lehigh men's contest which will be shown on CBS Sports Network at Noon. The coverage continues with each of the four Men's Basketball Tournament quarterfinals on Wednesday and all four women's quarters next Thursday. The March basketball coverage wraps up on Patriot League All-Access with the women's semifinals on March 11.
All of the Patriot League Tournament games that are not shown on All-Access will be available on CBS Sports Network, including the men's semifinals (March 9, 2 and 4:30 p.m.) and championship (March 13, 7:30 p.m.) and the women's championship (March 16, 6 p.m).
Patriot League All-Access allows subscribers to see the live action of all available Patriot League basketball games as well as the archived content for past games.
The All-Access package is provided by the League and CBS Interactive. The cutting-edge technology takes viewers up close with multi-camera coverage. The package is in its seventh season and includes men and women's basketball games and a variety of Patriot League Championship events.
The Patriot League All-Access multimedia player has features that include expanded video navigation controls and advanced search functions. The on-page video player interface is compatible with Adobe Flash-enabled web browsers and offers a full-screen mode.
In addition to Patriot League basketball and Championship coverage, free content is available at All-Access with the news-format video Webcast "Patriot League Roundup" and "Top Plays" produced each week as well as installments of the new basketball feature "The Season" which follows teams from the League throughout the year.
The Patriot League continually demonstrates that student-athletes can excel at both academics and athletics without sacrificing its high standards. The Patriot League's athletic success is achieved while its member institutions remain committed to its founding principle of admitting and graduating student-athletes that are academically representative of their class. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education.

Life is tough when you are a hot MILF. We have appearances to keep, kids to cater to, husbands to keep happy and home making is always a present priority. Thats why we need to get MILF time. Since it was nice out Kristen, Mariah and I went to the pool and did a little sunbathing. We went from water world to margarittaville in a hurry though. Sitting by the pool and making our local voyuers hot is hard work. After refreshments it was straight to pussyville on the express train. Mariah has an incredible body...Tan Tight, big boobed and tight assed. This was possiblythe most asstastic day I can remember. Between the three of us shaking booty in bikinis, we were all wet and fat pussied before we even got to licking! Its amazing how relaxing high impact pussy licking and dildoing can be.

We went to go get some coffee on this rainy day when we met the sexy, Maryah. She had a sexy face, a juicy rack, and a hot ass. She brightened up our day with her sexy smile. We invited her to come back to our place and get inside and away from this gloomy day. After some persuasion she decided to come back with us. When we got back to the house, she warmed up and showed me her beautiful body. She had a fat biscuit in between her thick, sexy legs. Billy came in and plunged his face in her sexy twat. Then, she gave him an awesome blow job. Next, she got her sweet pussy pounded to her delightment. It was an amazing sight to watch that thick, juicy ass get banged. The action continued until the manjuice squirted on her pretty face.

Desert Isle Keeper Review
All I Ever Needed
(This DIK review was written by a reader)
Jo Goodman
2003, European Historical Romance (Regency England)
Zebra, $6.50, 352 pages, Amazon ASIN 0821774166Part of a series
We meet Lady Sophia Colley, daughter of the late Earl of Tremont, 22 years later, resting under a tree remembering the laughter of our four heroes. Sophie thinks they were laughing at her, especially over a rumor that the Marquess of Eastlyn is engaged to her. She considers the rumor to be ridiculous since she is 24, on the shelf, and unlikely to attract the attentions of someone like East, who is rich and so handsome he doesn't need to glance at his reflection when he passes a mirror. Sophie did not have a Season because she had to nurse her father, who then died after years of drink leaving the depleted estate to his cousin. Now Sophie is just a poor relation living with her cousin, the son of the current Earl, and acting as governess to his two mischievous children. Both the Earl and his son want her to marry for money and save them from financial ruin.
East comes to straighten out the engagement rumor and finds Sophie napping under the tree. Sophie makes no effort to be kind to him, dismisses him as being "outside" her notice, and tells him not to propose because she objects to his gambling, drinking and dueling. This of course pricks his ego and piques his interest. As East later remarks, everything about Sophie puts him off balance. Although East had met Sophie on at least one occasion, he remembers her as being very dull and too innocent for his attention. Now her sharp wit and intelligence intrigue him. He does propose, but Sophie leaves him sweating her answer while she goes into the house for refreshment to "wash the taste" of the proposal from his mouth.
So, why won't Sophie marry East and solve all of her problems? Is it because he is a rake and she is shocked by his behavior? No, not really. She is intrigued by what little she knows of East, especially his close friendship with the other men in his "club." But East admits that had it not been for the rumor, the possibility of a match between them would not have occurred to him. In addition, Sophie has determined not to marry and give her cousins what they want. Although there were times when I wondered if Sophie was being stubbornly TSTL, eventually Goodman gives good reasons for all of Sophie's actions.
Unlike other other romance heroines who say "no," Sophie is most convincing and keeps the reader off balance too. Although the plot of the "poor-relation governess rescued by the dashing hero" is not a new one, the book is kept fresh and lively by the interactions of the hero and heroine. Both East and Sophie have honed their comments to a razor edge, resulting in some memorable laugh-out-loud scenes. When they finally fall into each other's arms, you are ready for relief from the sexual tension, which the author provides in stirring and steamy detail.
The one weakness of the story (and it's a very small weakness indeed) is that the suspense plot is very dark, complex, and sometimes intrusive to the romance. In this case the villains are members of a secret society from school days that continues after school as the ultimate "old boys network." East comes to realize that the villains are ruthless not only in their politics and search for financial gain, but also have designs on Sophie. They are a bit over the top evil and lack complexity. The reader has no sympathy for them and little understanding of why they are so evil.
East has a need to fix things so he feels compelled to rescue Sophie. But he is just an ordinary guy, not an omnipotent hero with an army of faithful retainers ready to storm the battlements. He sometimes even makes mistakes. The characters from the other books in the series do appear to help out, but each of the four Compass Club novels happen simultaneously. So while East is preoccupied with Sophie and the old boys network of villains, other members of the club are busy solving their own knotty problems, both political and romantic. When you finish Sophie and East's story you will want to get to know the other members of the Compass Club as well.
Readers who may have overdosed on either poor relation governess heroines or school-chum-come-spy heroes won't be disappointed in All I Ever Needed. Both lead characters stand head and shoulders above most heroes and heroines and their chemistry is not to be denied. If you're looking for terrific dialogue and wonderful characterization, you'll find it here.

"Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" will be back in 2 weeks but for those who can't wait, we have some promotional photos and behind the scenes pictures from the upcoming episode, "Nothing to Fear." Spoiler TV shared the pictorial preview of episode 1X09 on Feb. 19.
Just as a refresher before you dive in, when we left our intrepid rescue party, Alice had found Cyrus and wished him free of the bottle. That wish caused the Knave or Hearts, Will, to become the Genie of the Bottle. As this was unfolding, Jafar attacked the band which also included the Red Queen. When the dust settled, the bottle had been swept away and the remaining characters agreed to work together to find him.
"Nothing to Fear" will pick up where the series left off. Here is the synopsis ABC released for it:
"The Knave is released from the bottle by Lizard and she is given the opportunity to make her dreams come true with three wishes. Cyrus, and a reluctant Alice, partner with the Red Queen to find and rescue the Knave, while the Red Queen is captured by peasants who want payback for her cruel reign. Meanwhile, Jafar has taken over the Red Queen's castle and learns of a fearful creature called the Jabberwocky who he plans to ally himself with, on "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland,"
In the photos, we can see Lizard, dressed in an elegant gown. She is talking with, and in one photo, wrestling with, the new genie, Will. The other photos focus on Jafar as he casts a spell which looks like it frees the Jabberwocky (Peta Sergeant) mentioned in the synopsis.
Check out the slide show to hold you over until "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" returns on Thursday, March 6.

Occupy Wall Street Protesters Could Use a Few Good Cookbooks
The makeshift library that's cropped up is a little short on tasty reads.
The New Yorker's Book Bench brings word of an actual bench in Zuccotti Park, focal point of the Occupy Wall Street protesters, that has swelled with donated books over the last few days and become a makeshift library. One of the "self-appointed librarians minding the stacks," Betsy Fagin (who's a librarian in real life too) tells the Book Bench that she's seen people reading Allen Ginsberg and Walt Whitman, and that when things calm down a little at night many turn to novels. And while numerous reports say food is plentiful and shared, there have been reports that there's been too much pizza. So much, in fact, that organizers had to tell a nearby restaurant to stop delivering. Naturally, we wanted to know if the monotony was driving protesters to indulge in some cookbook escapism.
Via e-mail, Betsy Fagin tells us that while the library has doubled in size this week, food and cooking books are still somewhat scarce. She recalls seeing Frances Moore Lappe's Diet for a Small Planet and The Galaxy Global Eatery Hemp Cookbook , but that's about it. So, if you're of mind, take a few minutes and liberate some printed material from your shelves, or donate via Occupy Wall Street's official site. It is fall cookbook season, after all.

On a ferry ride to Alcatraz Island off the San Francisco Bay, Yosemite High School senior Shanelle Koellish, 17, leaped over the edge of the boat into the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean in the early morning hours of Sunday, May 19. Koellish was joined by about 900 other swimmers, including her step-dad and Ducey's on the Lake architect, Michael Karby, as they took part in the 22nd Annual Sharkfest Swim.
Swimming is not new to Koellish. She been swimming since age three and has been on the YHS swim team since her freshman year. So, when she heard Karby talk about Sharkfest, she knew that's what she wanted to do for her senior project.
"He had talked about it a lot and I thought it would be interesting," Koellish said. "None of my friends have done anything like that, so thought I'd try it."
However, Koellish also wanted to benefit the community through her project, so she asked friends and family for support by having them donate money to her youth group.
"I chose to raise money for the youth group, because it was a big part of my life when I was growing up," she said. "It was always there for me, so I wanted to do something to try and give back to it."
For three months, Karby gave Koellish tips to prepare her for the 1.5 mile ocean swim from Alcatraz Island to Aquatic Park. When the day finally arrived, Koellish set off at 4 a.m. with her mother, Colleen, and Michael. It was a two-mile walk from their hotel down to Aquatic Park. After registration, swimmers boarded the ferry for a 50 minute ride to Alcatraz. The race began at 7 a.m.
The swim took the same path that prisoners Anglin Brothers and Frank Lee Morris took when they successfully escaped from Alcatraz on June 12, 1962. It was Karby's 19th time participating in Sharkfest. Karby said he's helped train many people for Sharkfest, but participating with Koellish was a completely different experience.
"Over the years, I've taken lots of people out and trained them to do this and swam it with them, and they're all the same," Karby said. "When they get on the boat, their eyes are bugged out, they get tunnel vision, they are panicked and swear they'll never do it again -- But not Shanelle -- She jumped off the boat into the water smiling."
"I wasn't nervous at all, I was just ready to swim," Koellish said. "I'm glad I wasn't nervous, because it made the swim much more enjoyable."
Two minutes after the start of the race, Koellish powered ahead of Karby.
"The swim went very well, I was amazed at how fast it was going by," Koellish said.
However, partway into the race, Koellish found herself in trouble when she got caught in an ocean current.
"Panic then set in," Koellish said. "I remember thinking, 'I can't believe this is happening to me.' Michael had been coaching me for months to avoid that. I had completely forgotten about the dozen people in kayaks that were there to keep the swimmers from getting lost and swept out to sea. I thought that it was completely up to me to get myself out of this. I started sprinting as hard as I could against the current and about two minutes later, I finally made it out and into Aquatic Park."
At that point Koellish was exhausted and on the verge of an asthma attack, so she had to rest for a minute before continuing on and finishing the race. She finished the 1.5 mile race in 35 minutes, 17 seconds and came in 283rd out of 703 swimmers in the wetsuit division.
"It was unfortunate that I got caught in the current, because II could of shaved off a good five minutes or probably more from my time," Koellish said. "Even with all that, though, I still got a better time than I expected, and I am very proud of myself for doing this."
When Karby finished the race 11 minutes later, he said all his step-daughter could talk about was getting a better time next year. She is already signed up for Sharkfest next year. But first, Koellish plans to go to pursue a degree in culinary arts at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria. Koellish hopes to own her own wedding cake bakery someday.

Security Council decides to reinforce UN Mission in South SudanListen /
• The Security Council this week decided to reinforce the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). The decision came as inter-ethnic conflict worsened in the new nation. In a resolution unanimously adopted on Tuesday, the Council decided to increase the strength of UNMISS from its current over 6,800 troops and police to more than 12, 000 peacekeepers.
Kimberly scheme blocks trading in conflict diamonds
• This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme. It was launched in 2003 to prevent diamonds from financing conflicts. The outgoing Chairperson of the Kimberly process says about 99.1% of the diamonds that are being traded today are legal because they are under the scheme.
Urbanization poses a challenge for Ghana
• Ghana is one of the African countries facing challenges of rapid urbanization. In the 1960's, just over 20 per cent of the population of the West African country lived in urban areas. But now, according to the country's Minister of Local government and Rural Development, 52 per cent of Ghanaians live in urban areas.

Ever since the Affordable Care Care rolled out in late 2013, Republicans and the right-wing media have been doing whatever it takes to hide the positives, highlight the negatives and at times, just make stuff up.
After the White House announced that over 8 million people had signed up for health insurance through the health care exchange, Republicans and conservative media went into full defensive mode. Right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed that President Obama and the White House were "cooking the books" and Fox News continued the narrative that those who signed up, didn't actually pay for their premiums.
Pushing back at conservative claims, a report by Bloomberg shows that multiple large insurers are reporting that as many as 90 percent of customers have paid their first month premium.
"Three large health insurers including WellPoint Inc. (WLP) and Aetna Inc. (AET) say that a high percentage of their new Obamacare customers are paying their first premiums, undermining a Republican criticism of enrollment in the program.
As many as 90 percent of WellPoint customers have paid their first premium by its due date, according to testimony the company prepared for a congressional hearing today. For Aetna, the payment is in the "low to mid-80 percent range," the company said in its own testimony. Health Care Service Corp., which operates Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in five states including Texas, said that number is at least 83 percent."
While 8 million people have reportedly signed up for private insurance via the health care exchange, that number reaches over 10 million when you factor in additional Medicaid sign ups for the states who agreed to expand the program. Republicans can attempt to spin information if they choose to, but facts are the facts and they aren't on their side.

Kraft Advertising-to-Kids Policy Applauded
Statement of CSPI Nutrition Policy Director Margo G. Wootan
January 12, 2005
Kraft is doing parents a real favor by recognizing that foods of poor nutritional quality should not be advertised to kids. By setting nutrition standards for foods advertised to six- to 11-year-olds, Kraft will make it a little easier to reduce kids consumption of foods high in calories, saturated and trans fat, or added sugars.
Kraft has taken an important first step. The next should be to strengthen its sodium standards, limit advertising to kids 12 to 17, and extend its marketing guidelines to cartoon characters on packages, advergames on the Internet, contests, and other forms of marketing. I hope that other companieslike Kellogg, General Mills, and McDonaldswill emulate, and out-do, Kraft.
Unfortunately, modest corporate restraints on the advertising of processed foods will not increase the marketing of truly healthful foodslike fruits, vegetables, and fat-free dairy productsthat should form the bulk of childrens diets. Thats where government needs to step in and sponsor major healthy-eating campaigns, ensure that processed foods are more healthful, and strengthen nutrition education in schools.

With its new-age flourishes, retro-rock style and an eclectic lineup of guests including everyone from Prince to Stereolab, Chi-town rapper Common's 2002 album, Electric Circus, was anything but a conventional hip-hop joint. And his next album will be as down-to-earth as that effort was a space trip.
"This one feels grounded, like hanging out on someone's Chicago sidewalk," Common said recently. "After going way out, it's a natural progression for me to come home again. It's more about people and things relative to life."
Common, halfway through recording his sixth album, already has a title. He'll call it, simply, Be.
"It could stand for 'basement elevation' or 'b-boy evolution.' But really it's just about being," he explained, "the simplicity of life and music. This album is rooted in not trying too hard to do anything specific, just letting the music come the way it comes."
Common has already recorded with a handful of beatmakers for this effort. These include Jay Dee, with whom he worked on his previous two albums, who pitches in on "It's Your World"; Kareem Riggins (Slum Village); and fellow Chicagoan Kanye West, who will helm several Be songs, including Common's current favorite, "Fooled."
Kanye's profile has increased immeasurably since Common met him years ago. As aspiring b-boy stars, they engaged in rap ciphers in Common's basement. "Put it this way: I didn't underestimate him. But I didn't know it'd get like this," Common said of Kanye's sudden popularity. "There's no limitations to him. I love his vision. He brings something fun, innocent and creative to hip-hop. I forgot hip-hop could be like that."
Common is also scheduled to record with the Neptunes and ?uestlove (a.k.a. Ahmir Thompson), the Roots mastermind who Common credits with turning around his career when the drummer executive produced Common's 1999 album, Like Water for Chocolate. "He enhanced my music and my thirst for music," Common said. "Ahmir is a genius, man. He took my music to a higher level."
Common wouldn't discuss his recent breakup with singer Erykah Badu. He did say her music, combined with that of artists like Talib Kweli, the Roots and Kanye West, contributes to the sense of community he felt as a young artist looking up to the Native Tongues (A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and the Jungle Brothers). "Their best music makes me want to work that much harder. It's good to have that kind of creative inspiration around you. They remind you we do this for the love of it."
He said he hopes fans will feel that love in his music, regardless of whether he releases an eclectic album like Electric Circus or the more down-home long player Be's shaping up to be. "It's more of what people expect hip-hop to be," Common explained. "I gave them a space movie with Electric Circus. Now the movie is more about something blue-collar you can relate to. I hope they do."

Personalise your news, save articles to read later and customise settings
Larry Corowa, (the black flash) Never forget during an AMCO Cup match Rabs once famously said "he runs faster than a bloke with a stolen VCR"
What's the latest on Nathan Gardner, I don't see him listed as injured or playing reserve grade?
As far as Josh Dugan is concerned, at this point in his career he is a clown without a circus. If you're a Dragons fan you have to ask yourself, Do I want my club to be that circus?
I'm not a Bronco fan but, does anyone else think he is wasted in the front row? I've always seen his game as an edge runner more suited to running between players than over them. I think the heavy workload in the middle of the park takes the edge off his attacking game.
Jeez Des!!! still no Hodkinson!! im gutted, doggies just named their squad, Eastwood back
I am a bulldogs supporter and really couldnt care less about Money Bill Williams.
He left us and good riddance to him. He is not a good role model for any club.
i would love nothing more than to see the bulldogs beat the roosters on Friday Night.
And one of our players put a goood hit on him,
Sounds like you care to me...
What are those stains on the Pringle card? Does Ears really like Pringle?
Spilled some of my Toohey's Old on it.
Spilled some of my Toohey's Old on it.
Neil Pringle eh, seeing that footy card reminds me of an old tale regarding Larry Corowa and a mystery illness.
SBW definitely left us at a bad time but im over it to be honest, im more concerned with our team than anyone elses. We need a win and im hoping Des finally names Hodkinson instead of Keating.
I think it's time for Hodkinson as well. As for SBW, it would've been good if he was going up against former teammates but no one is still there from 2008 besides Ben Barba, who made his debut two rounds after Williams left.
Surely Kelepi earned his starting spot again for the Eels this week? And Loko will surely return from his illness for the game.
RS is playing with us again I think.
Don't believe what coaches want you to believe. Your right, Kelepi was very strong.
Opinions on Ryan Morgan?
I like him but I think he's a year or two away from being a consistent centre.
So looks like Luks Walsh is gone from the Panthers? Maybe he can go to the Dragons!
Surely, even they aren't that desperate.
You wouldn't think so, but weren't they enquiring about Sam Williams and Jeff Robson only a couple of weeks ago?
Michael, Croker wouldn't be much better and doesn't pass except for the last game Last weeks Reece Robinson try is an example. Could've passed to Robinson but didn't got tackled the Robinson scores anyway
What's everyone's take on Croker for raiders? Centre or should he move to the wing? I personally think he should be on the wing with Edrick lee and Wighton the centre pairing till ferguson is back
I don't know about Edrick defending in the centres.
Brett Morris is a worthy replacement but with Evander Cummins still a work in progress I'd sign Dugan.
I liked Brett Morris at fullback but he's 10 years too late. He would've been a brilliant fullback at the end of the 90's but he doesn't have the ball-playing ability to wear the No.1 in this era.
Good to hear about campese and also that Raiders will keep Williams at halfback. Williams is the futur at the raiders in the no 7
I would go with Josh Dugan. Whilst the off field baggage needs to be monitored it would be a different setting without the influences of his enabling team mates.
Morris didn't work last year apart from a few games.
St George needs 6 forwards on the field not 5 Ben creagh is doing nothing 20 odd tackles for 60 minutes. not enough
For the Dragons, I would slot Morris in at full back. He has impressed there before!
Have the Dragons still got Goodwin? If so, he is a very good fullback and is proven & loyal.
After all that he has gone thru over the past couple of seasons, it's his turn.
He would've been a good option but unfortunately Goodwin is out until round 15 with a pectoral injury.
St George needs 6 forwards on the field not 5 Ben creagh is doing nothing 20 odd tackles for 60 minutes. not enough
Interesting take. I agree he has been down on form. He needs to lift as captain. Wouldn't be dropping him though.
has anyone been following the form of young peachy at lock for the sharks reserve grade team. outstanding form and major reason why they havent lost a game. deserves bench spot in first grade. and their winger rapatini has been killin it. sharks need his speed

Kanye West has a surprisingly rich history of airplane flash mobs. OK, "surprisingly rich" in this case means "this one time Aziz Ansari convinced a pilot to play Watch the Throne, but as airplane flash mobs go, that counts. (When was the last time anyone played music during your flight? The closest you usually get is someone's headphones being too loud.)
Here's the latest bit of history, then–West's dancers staged a flash mob, in which they danced/writhed/swayed to "Runaway," on a flight during his Australian tour. This is probably a regular occurrence in Kanye's life.
That said, there is one major difference between this and a regular occurrence in Kanye's life: it's on a public plane. Which means you get regular guys killing the buzz. Isn't it supposed to be common knowledge, just standard ingrained etiquette, that you do not rise to use the lavatory until after Kanye's team gets done? Let's have a toast to the douchebag! (I tease. I'm sure he's a fantastic person. But I'm still going to blame everything on him, so at least you know that's what I'm good at.)

Cooling off a Hot Car
Please Note! BPN is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit and has moved to a new website: BerkeleyParentsNetwork.org
Our son HATES hot cars. We have tinted the windows (also to minimize exposure to UVs) but a car left in the sun still gets hot. (This assumes that it ever stops raining...) We use sun blocks over the windshield, a towel over the car seat... When you absolutely can't park in the shade, what can keep the car cool? I remember seeing advertisements for solar vents that fit in the top inch of the car window. Do they work? Where do you buy them? Any other great ideas? thanks, ann
The vent has a solar panel on one side and a small fan on the other, and can easily be fitted at any window, with the solar panel side facing the sun and a rubber strip sealing off the rest of the window opening. You also need to remember to roll down a window on the opposite side just a couple of inches to keep the air flow.
My friend bought the solar car vent for me a couple of years ago at Sharper Image. It worked well for a few months, and then the fan would somtimes stop as if it couldn't draw current from the solar panel system. I don't think it was a common problem with solar vents, just something wrong with the one I had. I don't think Sharper Image carry them any more, but I'm sure you can find one somewhere else. Good luck. Chris
My son hates getting into the car when it's hot. A lot. Years ago I saw an advertisement for a solar-powered fan that you put in the car window to keep it cool. Has anyone had experience with the solar-powered fan? If it's worthwhile, where can I find one? How about the car seat covers? I've seen car seat covers that are supposed to keep the car seat cool -- but then the car is still hot, which is more the problem, I think. The car seat doesn't seem that hot - it's just hot in the car. The sun shields for the windshield seem like they won't really help when the sun is beating down on the car. Am I wrong? Any advice would be appreciated, including where to buy recommended items. I looked in the ''traveling with kids'' section of the Advice area but found nothing. thanks, anne

The Golden State Warriors believe Steve Kerr will take the New York Knicks head coaching job, leaving them to scramble to find a new replacement for fired Mark Jackson according to reports on May 11.
Kerr was the Warriors number one target due to his relationship with owner Jacob Lacob and president Rick Welts. In addition, Kerr lives in San Diego during the offseason and his daughter attends Cal- Berkley.
According to a league source, the Knicks and Kerr are confident a deal will get done. Two other sources indicated that something could happen prior to the NBA combine, which begins on May 15.
Kerr has a deep allegiance to Knicks president Phil Jackson, who he played for with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s, and that is what is believed to be ultimately luring him to the Knicks.
Contract details and Kerr's broadcasting schedule – Kerr works as a TNT analyst wants to work through the Western Conference finals -- still needs to be ironed out. Kerr's agent, Mike Tannenbaum, is reportedly currently in negotiations with the Knicks.
Kerr has never been a head coach but has had a lot of suitors. He has also been mentioned as a candidate for the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Lakers job.
With Kerr perceivably out of the mix, Golden State will now to their attention to Stan Van Gundy and Lionel Hollins. The Warriors will likely add more candidates to their wish list in the near future.
Van Gundy, who had successful stints with the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat, is not sure if he wants to return to the sideline at this point.
"Part of me does, and part of me doesn't," Van Gundy said in a radio interview with 740 AM in Orlando on May 8 . "Look, we're so happy in Central Florida. It would really have to be a great situation for me to get back in. I miss a lot of it. I really do. I miss the competition. I miss the challenge. I miss the camaraderie of it. But I also like the time that I've had, so we'll just have to see what happens. You weigh every situation."
Van Gundy was fired by the Magic following the 2012 season. He has a 371-208 record and has made the playoffs in seven of the eight NBA he has been head coach, reaching the NBA finals in 2007-08.
Hollins, 60, will reportedly interview with the Warriors in Chicago at the NBA combine later this week. Hollins has served a head coach with Vancouver Grizzlies from 1999-to-2000 and two stints with Memphis (2004, 2009-14). He has a 214-201 overall record and is 18-17 in the playoffs.
Hollins is also reportedly a candidate for the Oregon State job.

August 4, 1998
A team that will start five players with just one year's playing experience would not usually be considered an experienced squad. But there's nothing like a national championship to season a young team. After their improbable and inspiring run to the 1997 NCAA title, the 1998 Bruins are hoping to use that experience and gained confidence to repeat as national champions.
UCLA head coach Sigi Schmid's 1998 squad is young in years but a veteran team in experience. The Bruins return seven players - just two of whom are seniors - who started in the 1997 Final Four, including Final Four Offensive MVP Seth George and All-Tournament selections Carlos Bocanegra, Tom Poltl and McKinley Tennyson, Jr. Four others saw action in the title game.
"The team has improved from last year just because the young players have a lot more experience. They have the confidence of winning a national title," said Schmid, last season's NSCAA Coach of the Year. "The knowledge of knowing what it takes to win a title is invaluable."
And many of those who don't have the championship game experience make up for it with international experience. Freshman midfielder Ryan Futagaki and sophomore goalkeeper Nick Rimando have played with various U.S. Youth National teams and are currently with the Schmid-coached U-20s, along with Bocanegra, Tennyson and Shaun Tsakiris.
Two others who did not play in the title game due to injuries were junior midfielders Sasha Victorine and Pete Vagenas. It was their absence in the tournament that made UCLA's title run so improbable. Imagine the damage UCLA will do WITH their return. The prospects look daunting for the opposition. Victorine before his ACL injury in September was one of 10 nominees for the Missouri Athletic Club Player of the Year Award, and Vagenas was a first-team All-MPSF selection when he filled in for Victorine prior to his injury in the NCAA quarterfinals. The duo honed their skills at the adidas summer league this summer, along with sophomore Ryan Lee and junior Steve Shak.
No one will be happier to see Victorine and Vagenas back more than striker George, who will likely benefit most from their return and, in particular, their ability to set him up for a goal. George, last year's Final Four Offensive MVP and an NSCAA second-team All-American, scored 16 goals and 42 points in 1997. Twelve more goals in 1998 will move him into UCLA's Top 5 list in career goals. Also looking to benefit will be forwards Tennyson (8 goals, 23 points) and Martin Bruno (11 goals, 25 points off the bench).
Like last year's national championship team, the 1998 Bruins, according to Schmid, are a "very well-balanced team." If depth and balance were the key to last year's title, things are looking good for a repeat.
- Forward
All three of UCLA's top scorers from a year ago return, led by 16-goal scorer and Player of the Year candidate Seth George. The senior All-American is a pure goal scorer who has also proven to be a good passer, tallying a team-high 10 assists last year.
Playing alongside George will be sophomore McKinley Tennyson, Jr., who scored the game-winning goal in sudden death overtime in the NCAA Semifinals. Tennyson, a big, strong forward, totaled eight goals and seven assists in his rookie campaign.
Also returning is junior Martin Bruno, UCLA's Super Sub last year. Bruno scored 11 goals and 25 points off the bench in 1997 and could follow in George's footsteps (George was UCLA's Super Sub in 1996) and gain a starting spot.
Shea Travis looks to come back strong for his junior year. "Shea had a great spring, scoring goals and using his dribbling ability to regain his form from his freshman year," said Schmid.
Freshman Sean Walker will also be available. Walker scored 27 goals and 15 assists last year at Rockhurst HS and was an NSCAA honorable mention All- American at Jesuit HS in Sacramento his junior year. Said Schmid, "He has good speed and is going to be knocking on the door to get himself on the field."
- Midfield
Central midfield is UCLA's strongest, deepest and most experienced position, with seven quality players battling for three positions. Four of those six (Sasha Victorine, Tom Poltl, Shaun Tsakiris and Ryan Futagaki) have played with U.S. youth national teams, and one of them (Pete Vagenas) was UCLA's co-MVP last year.
Victorine is considered to be one of the finest playmakers in the nation. Prior to his ACL injury in September, he had been picked as one of 10 finalists for the Missouri Athletic Club Player of the Year Award. He is fully recovered from the injury and is expected to regain his leadership duties. As a freshman in 1996, he earned first-team all-conference and second-team All-Far West honors despite playing with a separated shoulder the entire season.
Poltl played with Victorine in the 1997 U.S. Under-20 World Cup and last year earned second-team All-Far West honors. Poltl is a tough, scrappy player whose intensity more than makes up for his size (5-6). He scored four goals and three assists a year ago.
Tsakiris has a dangerous free kick and is dangerous from the left side of the field. His passing skills are strong, as evidenced by his five assists in 1997.
Freshman Futagaki is another speedy player who will make an immediate impact as a rookie. He earned All-CIF honors twice at Fountain Valley HS and has played with the U.S. Under-17 and Under-20 National Teams. Futagaki totaled 29 goals and 18 assists in his last two years at Fountain Valley.
Vagenas had a breakthrough season in 1997. He stepped into a difficult situation, filling in for a Player of the Year candidate, and made a name for himself. As playmaker, Vagenas set up most of the scoring plays and assisted on eight goals.
Sophomore Caleb Westbay saw action in just three games last year but could see more playing time in 1998.
Returning for his senior season is Junior Gonzalez. Said Schmid, "His maturity will be valuable to such a young team."
Finding a spot in the lineup for all seven could be difficult, but it's a challenge most coaches would envy. Luckily, these players have versatility, and Schmid can play Poltl and Futagaki wide if necessary and can also bring in George or Bruno from the forward position.
There is a little bit more concern from the outside areas of midfield, but Schmid has several options. On the right, Schmid may use Ryan Lee, Bruno or Poltl, and on the right, Futagaki, Travis or Nick Paneno.
Lee finished his freshman season in style, starting in the last eight games of the year. He was impressive in his defending at the NCAA Final Four and assisted on the winning goal in the semifinals. "Ryan has great speed and a good work rate," said Schmid. "He opens gaps for other players through his speed."
Paneno had a solid season last year, earning honorable mention all-conference honors. He proved to be an important scorer, with both of his goals being game- winners. He also assisted on two game-winning goals.
Said Schmid, "We have some depth there. What we need to get out of our wide players is more consistency and a good ability to get balls across and swing balls over."
- Defense
UCLA loses the most depth in defense with the graduation of Kevin Coye, Jimmy Conrad and Danny Sparks. But returning from the starting lineup are All-Freshman selection Carlos Bocanegra and all-conference selection Steve Shak, who are two of the finest young defenders in the nation.
Bocanegra earned first-team All-MPSF honors as a rookie and also made his way onto the Final Four All-Tournament team with his strong defensive play. He is extremely effective on both sides of the field and scored five goals in 1997 on just 11 shots on goal.
In his first year of play, Shak became one of the true surprises in college soccer. A walk-on who did not even play as a freshman, Shak earned a regular spot in the starting lineup in the sweeper position and has played his way onto the U.S. Under-23 National Team.
Replacing Coye as a man-marker will be a challenge. There will be opportunities here for junior Craig Hart, senior David Kurtz-Reyes and Cal Poly San Luis Obsipo transfer Brandon Kay to break into the lineup. Lee may also be used in this capacity.
- Goalkeeping
Sophomore Nick Rimando is expected to replace Final Four Defensive MVP Matt Reis in goal. Rimando was outstanding in his seven games and five starts last year, allowing just one goal in 485 minutes (0.19 GAA) and earning honorable mention all-conference honors despite his limited playing time. "When he came in and played last year, he was very solid, and his goals against average was good," said Schmid. "He is also a very good organizer, which is very important." Rimando's quickness and fearlessness will be tremendous assets for the Bruins.
Backing Rimando up will be sophomore Kevin Perrault, who shared shutouts in two of his three appearances last year. Perrault is a big keeper with good range who in 1996 set the CIF single-season record for shutouts (24) at Peninsula HS. UNLV transfer Todd Abdalla will also battle for playing time. The sophomore from Trabuco Hills was the backup at UNLV last year to his older brother Dan. Todd totaled two shutouts in 1997 with a 2.29 GAA in 196 minutes.
- The Schedule
UCLA's most eagerly anticipated match-up will come Nov. 1 when they meet up with Indiana in the UCLA Pacific Soccer Classic, presented by Carl's Jr. "The Indiana rematch of the NCAA semifinals in 1994 and 1997 is definitely something everyone should be looking forward to - I know we are," said Schmid.
With the MPSF a single division league, UCLA will have to face tough Stanford, California and Washington squads during the regular season. Those three teams have won the MPSF Mountain Division in the past, most recently Stanford last year.
Each game will be a challenge, and no opponent will be taken lightly. "Everyone is always motivated for UCLA," said Schmid. "Now they will be extremely motivated for UCLA as defending champions. We're going to have to be ready for every game because every game is going to be a challenge. We're going to make everyone's season if they can knock us off. So we're going to have to be stronger mentally than we were last year and more committed right from the beginning than we were last year. But we can play with the knowledge that we are champions and that we know what it takes to be a champion."
