Graham Steele, 31, is senior director at contemporary art gallery White Cube. His career began at Sotheby's in 2002 and in 2005 he moved to White Cube, where he opened its first international space in Hong Kong.
Jacket by Burberry Prorsum
Growing up in the States, whenever I heard the name Burberry images of my grandfather's old checked trenchcoat would immediately spring to mind. Today, the menswear embodies everything I like about fashion. I like [this jacket] because it's part Austrian mountaineer and part grandpa in just the right way.

Shirt by Pye
I split so much time between London and Hong Kong that it's fun to compare the different styles of tailoring in each city. This Chinese shirt label uses amazing cottons and is a nice reminder of my life between both cities.
. . .
Jeans by Fabric
These are by one of my favourite Japanese brands. I bought them in Venice Beach. I love the idea of buying jeans in Los Angeles where denim is its own religion.
. . .
Shoes (and belt) by Prada
I was expecting the last Venice Biennale to be sunny so rather optimistically, brought a pair of Prada suede shoes. Of course it rained the entire time, so I bought three pairs of these, which remind me of Venetian boat shoes.

Watch by Junghans
This one is a gift from a dear friend. It's a Bauhaus design by the late product designer and artist Max Bill. Five days after being given it, I scratched it all over while climbing Machu Picchu. But I would never change it.
. . .
Glasses by Lunor
I have a long monogamous relationship with small square-shaped lenses in tortoiseshell. When you have a boss like Jay [Jopling], who wears such distinctive eyewear, there's a tendency to emulate him. He once told me I looked like a late-night poker player who decided to show up for work!

I just want to say I was blown away by the corrupted item idea. You guys have thrown out two incredible new ideas to the ARPG genre since this game came out (the other being the Nemesis attribute for monsters). I mean these ideas are game changers and I clapped when I read it. Everything sounds good of course, but some of the things you're bringing to the table are things that will change the face of the genre forever.
You're making your own name for yourselves and not just copy-pasting Diablo 2.

Skip to comments.Eye Witness to St. Louis Scuffle: 'SEIU Representative Punched Him In the Face.'
Posted on 08/08/2009 2:29:36 AM PDT by Scanian
Last night, as reports began to emerge of unrest at two big health care town halls in Tampa and St. Louis, a man on Twitter claiming to work with SEIU, claimed a handful of arrests in St. Louis had been Obamacare critics, and they'd been arrested for assaulting SEIU members. His report was dutifully repeated by liberals looking to paint the violence as caused by critics of the administration.
When I went looking for corroboration of his story, I found something quite different in this report from the Post-Dispatch:
Kenneth Gladney, 38, a conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with "Don't tread on me" printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room at St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was awaiting treatment for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack.
"It just seems there's no freedom of speech without being attacked," he said.
Six people were arrested: "Two of the people were arrested on suspicion of assault, one of resisting arrest and three on suspicion of committing peace disturbances, police say."
Today, video emerged, which looked like it might have captured the alleged assault on Kenneth Gladney. It was taken by someone from a blog named Missourah, who was shooting the scenes of the Carnahan event all night

They would be proud of US.
No time to back down now.
We got the liberal/statist scoundrels on the run. We are going to take back our country and our Constitution, and they are going to have one hell of a situation on their hands if they try to stop us.
WHERE ARE THE MUG SHOTS OF THE THUGS FROM THE ARREST? Are they being protected by the media?
If you do a google search you will see the media are ignoring the story. (except the StLouis Dispatch). Virtually nothing from the compliant main stream media.
absolutely punish this as a hate crime.
every case of these sob's going after people should be taken federally for stopping freedom of speech
Since SEIU was involved and they were wearing shirts from then, and their membership is across state borders, I'm wondering if any RICO laws were broken?
Bah Bah, what if anything have you heard locally?...Any charges announced, mug shots etc?
maybe, but getting them to prosecute the union will never happen. remember the black panthers?
No, if the FBI investigates they can and probably will arrest for a violation of civil rights on an individual basis.
Is it a violation of rico? YES, but getting it prosecuted will not happen.
Would you ping me to any thread you see on this? I'd like to see how it went down.
I went to the rally today in front of SEIU headquarters. His lawyer is probably going to sue the pant off of as many people and entities as he can drag in.
I wonder if he can sue Ozero for that memo that went out from the wh telling people to get out and counterprotest. He was explicitly being blamed at the rally today.
Where there are Democrat pols there are labor unions, where there are labor unions there are dues, where there are dues there is organized crime, and where there is organized crime there are organized crime METHODS. These goons are their enforcers, dead pets on the front step are next then something that goes BAM when you start your car. I never watched the Sopranos. I just follow the news of the day. The duely sworn POTUS owns this time in the country's history. I hope the Republicans don't find a way to lose what, right now, is looking like a landslide.
It was a Democrat that did the assaulting. It was in Democrat controlled territory. The victim can consider himself lucky he was not arresetd.
Looks like our "friend" Elston is a wannabe dem politician himself -
In a Dhimmi town like St. Louis, don't expect much sympathy from the authorities.
Green party! LOL. Good find.
And a Babtist Minister, no less. Jesse's gotta be proud.
Have you seen the material from Canada today...Got the goods on lots intimidating our press, cable etc....I'll ping you to it in a little.

Enjoy authentic vibe sounds without taking up a ton of space on your pedalboard!
Dear friends,
After extensive research and development, you now have the chance to test drive a pedal with authentic and defined vibe sounds in a much smaller enclosure.
The Vibe Machine™ – currently the world's smallest vibe pedal. Even in its little box it retains almost all the features of the classic Uni-Vibe® - small in size, big on sound! When you switch the Vibe Machine on your guitar melts in to a swirling three dimensional space inhabited by chewy vibe harmonics and textures, it's all here from shimmering liquid trebles to throbbing pulse-like waves of bass; a sonic force of beauty that tears down the walls around you!
All our custom photocells are matched with a specially constructed tester which means you really get an exceptional rotating vibe sound.
The Vibe Machine is incredibly practical for every pedalboard due to its small footprint. The Vibe Machine V-1 is almost half the size of other contemporary vibe pedals, this has the significant advantage of allowing you to use two smaller pedals in place of a larger one.
Leslie®, buffers and all the great vibe sound options
When you connect an expression or volume pedal to the Vibe Machine, the oscillation speed can be changed by foot. On top of this, if you use the Leslie® acceleration (internal jumper) option, the oscillations gradually speed up or slow down just as they would with a real Leslie cabinet. This is a completely new option for Vibe pedals, and one you should definitely try. Either way, you have control over the oscillation speed while you play.
TFC™ (Traffic Control) output is active only when the V-1 is turned on. With the TFC link you can turn on and off other pedals on your pedalboard using looper pedals. Please see the Vibe Machine manual or our FAQ section for more details.
The Vibe Machine V-1 offers more features still: for instance, if you prefer a brighter sound, moving the switch to the BRIGHT position will turn on the input JFET buffer, taking over the entire tonal range of your pickups no matter how long your cable is.
Furthermore, if you use longer cables from your pedalboard to your amplifier, you can turn on the output buffer to achieve a cleaner, more defined vibe sound.
Your pedal
You can buy your pedal right away by clicking the "BUY NOW" button.
Depending on the time of purchase, your pedal will be shipped the same day, or the next working day.
The payment is organized via PayPal and Wire Transfer.
Thank you,
Your DryBell Team
P.S. Don't forget that if for some reason you are not satisfied with your pedal, you can always return it for a full refund. You will receive a small gift with your Vibe Machine, a leather key chain pick holder which you don't have to return. Anyway we are very confident you'll be keeping your Vibe Machine with a big smile for many years to come.
P.P.S. The Vibe Machine V-1 with its competitive price, small footprint and incredible tone is ultimately the best value vibe pedal available today. Join a growing crowd of satisfied guitar players and order your Vibe Machine™ today.

Aphasia Awareness Month - June 2010
Aphasia Awareness Month - June 2010
Members and staff at SCALE participated in a variety of community projects during June in recognition of Aphasia Awareness.
Herb Festival - SCALE members participated in the annual Baltimore Herb Festival sponsored by the Maryland Department of Agriculture and City of Baltimore Recreation & Parks. Members of SCALE assembled and manned tables with information boards and educational materials about aphasia and about services offered by SCALE. Flower and vegetable plants grown from seed by members of the horticulture program were featured on the exhibit tables and available for purchase.
To help raise awareness, each planted pot held a picture marker asking, "Aphasia is NOT a plant... so what is it?" The clever wording aroused interest and drew people in for a closer look to engage in conversations and learn more about aphasia and SCALE.
Wetlands Project - Wetlands act as refuges for birds, blue crabs, striped bass, oysters, shad, otters, and other aquatic wildlife. Wetlands throughout the Chesapeake Bay region are being damaged or lost at an alarming rate as a result of coastal development, rising sea levels, and damage from non-native species.
SCALE partnered with the National Aquarium and other organizations throughout the Bay region to restore tidal wetlands through cleanups and grass plantings.
On June 9, 2010 members of SCALE, under the direction of Pam Cauley, our Center's therapeutic recreational specialist, went to Westport near Cherry Hill to plant marsh grass that had been planted, grown and cared for in our greenhouse by SCALE members.
Proclamations - SCALE was presented with a Certificate of Recognition from Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake for the Center's contributions in raising awareness and providing services for people with aphasia. In addition, a Proclamation from Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley was received declaring June as Maryland Aphasia Awareness Month.
Speaking Out Conference - On June 12th, 2010 the National Rehabilitation Hospital hosted the National Aphasia Association's regional Speaking Out Conference. Many of SCALE's staff, members and caregivers sponsored, attended and participated in the many programs that were available including the Survivor's Panel, the Communication Cafe and the Caregiver Panel. The conference was attended primarily by speech language pathologists, stroke survivors with aphasia and their caregivers. Everyone agreed that the conference was a very worthwhile experience!

A bar and restaurant will be the latest venue in a series of events designed to raise money for a memorial fund set up after a Malton Hospital worker was killed on Newbiggin, Malton, a decade ago.
A quiz night is to be held on Sunday, June 1, at 7.30pm at Rory's Bar in Market Place, Malton, to raise money for the Joanna Rookes Memorial Fund.
Relatives have been planning up to 10 events this year to mark the 10th anniversary since Joanna was killed when she was struck by a car while unloading suitcases from her car outside a relative's house.
It happened minutes after she arrived at the house following a trip back from Scotland where she had been watching her beloved Celtic football team.
The fund has raised thousands of pounds which has helped to refurbish the library at St Mary's RC Primary School where she had been a pupil.

As Mayawati battles farmers resisting the takeover of land for the Yamuna Expressway, a much bigger challenge to Uttar Pradesh's land policy could be headed her way from the courts. On Friday, the Allahabad High Court struck down the acquisition of 72 hectares in Greater Noida.
This, in turn, was preceded by a landmark Supreme Court judgement in April, which strikes at one of the key components of Mayawati's land acquisition strategy—that of using certain key provisions in land acquisition law to speed up a process that can take years. That judgement nullified the acquisition of 205 hectares, also in Greater Noida.

Queens Of the Stone Age Into The Hollow Lyrics
Last updated: 12/14/2011 11:00:00 AM
Aurevoir, Adieu, Goodnight
I'm too wrong, to get right
But I cant wait forever
I've always been alone
A fool believes he's clever
Don't you wanna go into the Hollow?
I won't go alone
Aren't you gonna follow?
I live behind my eyes
Be sure to keep the surprise
I break what I have borrowed
That's why I always go
alone into tomorrow
Don't you wanna go into the Hollow?
I won't go alone
Aren't you gonna follow?

9 other pols who chose therapy route
Filner's rehab decision one taken by other politicians, with uneven results
Seeking treatment
In modern times a common way of battling a scandal is to get some kind of treatment. Tiger Woods received treatment for sex addiction amid his cheating scandal. Chris Brown has been looking for a second chance after completing a court-ordered domestic violence treatment program. Celebrities aren't the only ones doing some soul searching in troubled times. Here's a list of politicians who have sought some form of treatment amid a scandal.
Patrick Kennedy - 2006
Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy crashed his car into a barricade on Capitol Hill in May 2006. He had a history of drug abuse as a teen and in college. He said was disoriented due to prescription medication he had taken. He sought treatment for substance abuse in 2006 and 2009. He didn't seek re-election in 2010.
Mark Foley - 2006
In 2006, Florida Rep. Mark Foley was accused of sending sexually explicit messages to an underage male House page. There was no evidence that there was any physical contact and no criminal charges were filed. He resigned Sept. 29, 2006. Foley said he exchanged the messages while intoxicated and later entered treatment for alcohol abuse.
Bob Ney - 2006
Ohio Congressman Bob Ney was indicted for perjury and trading legislative favors for gifts in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. He said his problem with alcohol resulted in a downward spiral. He sought treatment for alcohol abuse at the Mayo Clinic. He resigned in November 2006.
Gavin Newsom - 2007
In January 2007, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom had and affair with the wife of his former deputy chief of staff and then campaign manager, Alex Tourk. Both the marriages of Newsom and Tourk ended shortly after the scandal. Newsom sought treatment for alcohol abuse in February 2007. He remarried in 2008 and is now the lieutenant governor of California.
Eliot Spitzer - 2008
A federal investigation in 2008 led to the discovery that Eliot Spitzer had patronized a prostitution service called Emperors Club VIP on several occasions. During his time as attorney general in New York and as governor he was found to have spent tens of thousands of dollars on prostitutes. He resigned as governor on March 17, 2008 and sought treatment for sex addiction. He is now running for New York comptroller.
Anthony Weiner - 2011
The former New York congressman admitted in 2011 that he had lewd online conversations and texted inappropriate pictures of himself to numerous women. After resigning in June 2011, Weiner sought treatment, but never disclosed what kind of treatment he received. It doesn't appear to have helped: He recently admitted that he continued sexting for a year following his resignation. He is now running for mayor of New York City.
David Wu - 2011
Oregon Congressman David Wu was accused of an unwanted sexual encounter with a campaign donor's teenage daughter. Wu acknowledged that he had undergone psychiatric treatment while in office. His staff had complained of erratic behavior, including e-mailing of a picture of himself dressed in a tiger costume around Halloween. He eventually resigned in August 2011 citing that he did not want to cause any undo stress to the 18-year-old and her family.
Jesse Jackson, Jr. - 2012
In 2012 Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. was accused of illegally spending $750,000 in campaign funds on furs, watches, home renovations and other luxury items. He said he suffered from bipolar disorder and clinical depression. He sought treatment at the Mayo Clinic and resigned from office in November 2012. He pleaded guilty to the charges in February 2013 and is awaiting sentencing, which is set for August.

Great Head - Apr 19, 2012
Player: DC (Lake Forest IL USA)
I have used the STX Professor head for two seasons and it has held up pretty well. It shoots well and is very accurate. Its easy to string with all the holes. Picks up ground balls like vacuum cleaner. I even played box lax with it and it took a pounding but still held up. Highly recommend the Prof STX for any player in/out of college and playing in post grad leagues. I will buy another head soon. I hope STX keeps making this head in the future. Awesome!!

FACE-OFF SPECIALIST - Dec 12, 2011
Player: #13 (Wayne State University)
READ IF YOU ARE A FACE-OFF SPECIALIST: I play for wayne state university and used this head for 2 games as a fogo, i mainly used this for a simple clamp or a jam, im right handed and i can see that its warping to the left already. This is a stiff head so you will not be able to use the plunger move. If you are like me go with the Surgeon 10, ACP helps keep the head shape better and it is a little bit stiffer than the professor

New Cancer Drugs: Most Not Worth the Cost?
Amid much discussion around comparative effectiveness of medical treatments and whether cost should be a factor in treatment decisions, a new article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute estimates it would cost $440 billion to extend life by one year for the 550,000 Americans who die annually of cancer, reports the WSJ.
The authors, from the National Cancer Institute and National Institutes of Health, say that 90% of cancer drugs approved in the past four years cost more than $20,000 for 12 weeks worth of treatment.
Some drugs have limited upsides, and these shouldn't be developed unless they will cost patients less than $20,000 for a standard course, they say. Two more recommendations from the authors: doctors shouldn't prescribe cancer medicines for non-approved purposes, and new medicines with marginal benefits shouldn't be used for those with advanced cancer.
Treating lung-cancer with Erbitux, a Bristol-Myers and Eli Lilly drug, costs $80,000 for an 18-week regimen but extends life by only 1.2 months, the authors estimate. Bristol-Myers says the real-world cost number of Erbitux is closer to $10,000 a month. Drug makers say the cost estimates are often exaggerated because most patients are only on them for limited amounts of time and many received financial assistance, according to the WSJ.
So the challenge is this: How to develop new medicines — especially those that might help certain individuals a lot even if the benefit to patients as a group isn't impressive — while trying to keep costs in check.
"We can't add on Mercedes-like drugs one after another and have every single patient cost the system phenomenal amounts of money," Eric Winer, chief scientific adviser to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a breast-cancer advocacy group, told the WSJ. "But we have to be careful not to slow down the process of drug development. Ultimately it is medical therapy that will make a huge difference in people's lives."

Did the Euro's Architects Expect It to Fail?
Could it be that the politicians and eurocrats who designed the structures of the euro zone always knew they were flawed, but reasoned that a structural breakdown would enable them to bring in the common fiscal policy that would otherwise have been politically impossible?
This writer generally has little time for conspiracy theories, but Richard Jeffrey, chief investment officer at Cazenove Capital Management, makes a compelling case.
Throughout the current crisis involving Greece and Europe's banks, there has been a widespread assumption that the euro zone's problems have been caused by a mistaken belief that if the political will were strong enough it would be possible to overcome the clear economic flaws in the system's design.
The idea that the architects always knew the system would break down but reasoned that such a collapse would enable them to bring in the deeper union that many of them favored suggests something more than naivety.
"Some of the politicians who introduced the euro, who pressed for it to be introduced, realized we would come to this crisis at some stage but they also realized that the crisis would take them further towards their goal, which was fiscal union as well, and creating a United States of Europe," Mr. Jeffrey told listeners to Wake Up to Money on BBC Radio 5 Live on Monday.
"So in a sense the reaction of euro land to say what we need now is a tighter fiscal union is exactly what people wanted," he added. "They knew some of the risks they were taking and knew there would be a crisis at some stage."
Mr. Jeffrey's argument takes us well beyond the idea that the politicians thought that political will alone could hold the euro zone together. It suggests they knew it wouldn't. So I asked him if he meant that, and this was his reply:
"The point is that, if you were being logical, a common currency would be the last thing you introduced (after common fiscal policy, legal systems, market regulation, etc.) if you were trying to bring countries into some sort of political federation, since it would be a common currency and monetary policy that would expose all the tensions between economies.
"But the politicians reversed this argument, and saw the currency union as a forcing first step, since it would necessitate a more federal approach in other areas, such as fiscal policy, if it were to be successful."
To back his case, Mr. Jeffrey quotes Romano Prodi in the Financial Times in 2001, when he was president of the European Commission:
"I am sure the euro will oblige us to introduce a new set of economic policy instruments. It is politically impossible to propose that now. But some day there will be a crisis and new instruments will be created."
So, argues Mr. Jeffrey, a common currency was not the end game, but merely a step that required further euro-zone action; action that would eventually lead to the desired end: full political and economic union in a United States of Europe.
Against this background, it's hardly surprising that investors from the Chinese to George Soros are expressing their reservations about the latest plans to solve the euro-zone debt crisis.

Saturday night I took my wife of 34 years to MovieLand to screen a comedy romance titled "Zach and Miri Make a Porno," a film whose Internet "Tomatometer" consensus proclaimed it "fresh," "charming" and "an old fashioned romantic comedy."
The Washington Post's Neely Tucker observed, "Everyone on screen seems to be having so much fun," and The New York Times' A. O. Scott bubbled, "a gee-whiz romantic-comedy formula that would not be out of place on the Disney Channel."
Since the wife and I are suckers for old-fashioned romantic comedies, I ponied up $30 for tickets and a bucket of popcorn, and we shimmied past aisle-sitting singles to wedge ourselves into kneecap-bruising seats.
Remember the days when your fellow moviegoers stood up and allowed you to pass them, un-rubbed-against, in the dark? No time for that today; we're too busy text messaging to be bothered.
During the next hour and 41 minutes, the only thing that kept me in my seat was my reluctance to climb over the theater-goers to the left of us, so deep was my shame at the thought of being identified by somebody I knew.
The phrase, "coarsening of culture" " as it pertains to America " has lost any meaningful currency: Watching this movie was like being dropped into a sewerage-treatment pond with your lips stitched to your chin and forehead.
In fact, the money-shot in the film occurs when a constipated porn-princess is "freed-up" by the stud busily sodomizing her from the rear: In a flash of comedic brilliance, she evacuates, explosively, on the face and shoulders of the cameraman filming a close-up from below.
We're all accustomed to laughter and weeping in movie theaters. The consensual groan that escaped this audience was something altogether different. It was the noise you make when you see an animal hit on the highway " an involuntary, guttural expulsion of angst.
"Zach and Miri" is not an old-fashioned romantic comedy, nor would it ever be aired on the Disney Channel. Walt and Roy Disney would've scraped this crap off their shoes in their Anaheim parking lot " not animated it in their studios and tracked it into America's homes.
I'm not going to review the plot, because " beyond the celebration of refusing to pay your utility bills and the lighthearted legitimization of the pornography industry " I'm not sure this movie has a plot. It's just an hour and 41 minutes of bulked-up bad taste.
It's Howard Stern's diarrhea spin-art on steroids.
The problem with Hollywood sewerage isn't limited to the damage it's doing at MovieLands across America. We're piping this crap to countries and cultures around the planet.
It makes no sense to bemoan America's loss of standing on the world stage, while shipping this filth overseas. It doesn't matter who we install in the White House. It doesn't matter how generously we endow the U.N., or how many AIDS sufferers we save in Africa, or how much hand wringing we do over human rights tragedies in the Sudan.
After watching this movie, I think I understand the emotions that motivated Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn to blow things up. I think I can even understand the hatred of Islamic fundamentalists who fear our contagion of their culture.
We are projecting the ugliest possible image of America, abroad, and we're doing it in the most effective way possible, inflicting damage that no amount of State Department diplomacy or cash can undo. It's not just America's military might " "American imperialism!" " that the world's billions abhor; it's the spreading spill of our cultural malaise.
It's like Ted Kennedy emptying his sailboat's bilge on Nantucket Sound or blocking wind farms between speeches to his Sierra Club donors. We talk in high-minded tones about "liberty," but we export licentiousness unchecked by common sense or decency.
Like it or not, we are no longer perceived as "a shining city on a hill," but rather despised by an increasingly broad catalog of people who want to destroy us. We're regarded as a self-indulgent, promiscuous collection of whining, me-first losers who never met an indulgence they couldn't embrace.
We can blame misguided political policy, but that's only a small part of the story. Politicians can't fix what's wrong with this country; and fancy speeches in foreign capitals won't mend our tattered reputation.
It makes no sense to spend trillions on a crusade to "save the planet" from ecological disaster, while we ignore the cultural pollution that's rotting us from within.
We need the sort of "change" no politician can deliver. We have to make a new beginning, punctuated by a grassroots rejection of the messages we're being bombarded with in the popular culture.
How that happens, I haven't a clue.
One thing is clear: "Zach and Miri" don't have the answer.

Le Morte D'Arthur
by Sir Thomas Malory
Analysis: Steaminess Rating
Exactly how steamy is this story?
There's quite a lot of sex in Le Morte D'Arthur, and plenty of plots completely driven by sex. Just take Uther's whole obsession with going to bed with Igrayne, which causes him to go into disguise as her husband and conceive Arthur. Sir Gareth and Lyonet spend a great deal of time trying to have sex, only to be thwarted by Lyonet's crafty sister. Trystram and Isode get caught in bed together a lot, which causes problems for them seeing as Isode is married to another man. For all the sex that's here, though, none of it's described in graphic terms. Our story is not as interested in sex as it is in violence, which is why we get the blow-by-blow of, for example, Arthur's battle with the ogre, but have no idea what goes on behind Gwenyvere's bed curtains.

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- Charleston Police say they didn't cite the driver of a vehicle that struck West Virginia's First Lady while bicycling with her husband, Gov. Joe Manchin.
In the meantime, Governor's Spokeswoman Lara Ramsburg says the Governor is relieved Gayle Manchin's injuries weren't serious.
Ramsburg says the First Lady was taken to a hospital Sunday after the accident, but was OK and went home.
The accident occurred during a bike ride near the State Capitol when a vehicle pulling onto a road hit the First Lady.
The Governor was not hit.

Smart cars aren't a new idea. We've seen plenty of different ideas out there, but this new idea from Intel may just cross the line. When we think about our smart cars, we think about vehicles that are able to keep an eye on the road for us and help us, not necessarily take over for us entirely. But Intel's got a different idea, and unfortunately for the rest of us, they've got the means to make these things happen.
Intel had one of their Research Days recently, and one of the new ideas that made an appearance was their new Connected Car. The basic idea is that the vehicle will record crucial data while you drive. Things like your speed, location (including your location on the road), as well as your steering methods and braking tendencies. So, if you do find yourself in an accident, it will be able to compile all of the relevant information regarding the cause of it, and send the information to the police as well as your insurance company. Basically, sounds like there won't be much room for argument if you find yourself the cause of one of those accidents, and you're in one of Intel's new cars.
We're fans of technology everywhere we can find it, but there has to be a line that we draw in the sand. And while having our cars constantly connected, much like we are, may not be a bad thing at all, it all depends on how it's used. For example: if you find that you're not following the rules of the road on your own, Intel's Connected Cars will take over. That's right. Start swerving a bit too much, and you'll quickly find that you aren't in control of things anymore.

By BILL BIRD email@example.com
Dog is man's best friend. Dog feces, not so much.
Susan M. Miller had the misfortune of stepping into droppings a neighbor's dog deposited earlier this week outside her apartment in far west-central Naperville.
Her reaction proved to be a bit unorthodox.
A written Naperville police report indicated officers were called about 8:18 p.m. Wednesday to Miller's home on the 800 block of Beaumont Drive, in the Brittany Springs apartment complex. The 43-year-old Miller was apparently "fed up with dog feces" being left on the grounds of the complex, the report's narrative read in part.
And so she allegedly "decided to wipe the dog feces which she stepped in on the porch of a dog owner," the narrative continued. Miller then allegedly "threw dog feces at the sliding patio screen" of that apartment, according to the report.
Miller "then located a sign — stating to residents to pick up dog waste — that was posted in the complex, uprooted it and placed it on the dog owner's patio," the narrative stated. She then allegedly strung several small, green plastic bags filled with dog feces "on various places on the patio."
When police arrived at the scene, they found Miller running on the complex grounds, the narrative continued. She allegedly "yelled back that she was running to catch a cat, and not running from the police."
She also "yelled back asking if we were there about the (woman) with dog poop," according to the narrative.
Miller was arrested "after she captured her roommate's cat," the narrative stated. She was charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.
Police Cmdr. Mike Anders said the report contained no further details about the incident or the apparent ill will between Miller and the dog owner.
Records on file in DuPage County Circuit Court in Wheaton indicated Miller has no criminal record. She is free on bail and awaiting arraignment in DuPage County Circuit Court.

This is the first time the FCA has taken enforcement action against a High Frequency Trader, and reflects the FCA's objective of enhancing the integrity of the UK's financial markets.
Between 6 September 2011 and 18 October 2011 Coscia used an algorithmic programme of his own design to instigate an abusive trading strategy known as "layering".
During this time, Coscia placed thousands of false orders for Brent Crude, Gas Oil and Western Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures from the US on the ICE Futures Europe exchange (ICE) in the UK.
Taking advantage of the price movements generated by his layering strategy, Coscia made a profit of US $279,920 over the 6 week period of trading at the expense of other market participants - primarily other High Frequency Traders or traders using algorithmic and/or automated systems.
Coscia is not a member of ICE or an FCA Approved Person, and traded from the US through a Direct Market Access (DMA) provider. The penalty reflects the serious nature of the deliberate market abuse and the significant impact on ICE, as well as depriving Coscia of the financial benefit derived from this activity.
Tracey McDermott the FCA's Director of Enforcement and Financial Crime said:
"Mr Coscia was cheating the market and other participants. High Frequency Trading and the use of algorithms are an important and commonplace part of the markets nowadays but in this case these techniques were deliberately designed to abuse the market, undermining its integrity. This is unacceptable, which is why we have taken tough action to punish Coscia and deprive him of any benefit he acquired."
Coscia received a 30% discount on the fine by agreeing settlement under the FCA's executive settlement procedures; otherwise Coscia would have been fined just over US $1.15 million (£764K).
The US regulator, the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) are announcing today that they have imposed fines for similar market manipulation by Coscia on US markets. The FCA has worked closely with ICE, the CFTC and CME to bring this action against Coscia and would like to thank them for their co-operation.

Patti Pelosi has her mind on the brain.
Her mother suffered from Alzheimer's and, as Pelosi advances in years herself, she wants to ensure her own mind stays cerebrally sound. So she puts it through the paces.
"Because of my mom, I am always looking for things to challenge me and keep me thinking," said the retired Concord nurse. "My main MO is to keep learning things, read the papers, magazines, take up new crafts. I sew, I knit, I'm learning to play bridge, researching my ancestry. I also do some computer brain-training games on Lumosity. It's fun and a challenge.
"It's good to stretch your brain," she says. "But if you always forget your keys all the time -- I'm not sure any kind of brain games can help you with that."
And here we come to the heart of the gray matter. From playing online "brain games" that promise cognitive fitness to taking up a new language or merely working crossword puzzles -- do mental exercises do any good? Some studies indicate these kinds of activities can make you more proficient at the particular task under your focus, but the beneficial effects don't necessarily carry over into other aspects of life.
Yet emerging and encouraging evidence suggests the right kinds of mental engagement -- tasks and games designed to target specific areas of mental acuity -- may indeed help the old noggin' stay in shape.
"That's the general challenge of the field, trying to understand how to build training approaches that have some degree of transfer into other abilities. And it's a challenge whether we can even measure those kinds of results in real life activities," says UC San Francisco neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley, whose study last fall with a carefully tailored three-dimensional driving game called NeuroRacer did, indeed, show training could help improve the capacity to multitask.
Also generating buzz on the mental horizon is a study published in the January issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, in which a brain training clinical trial with more than 2,800 participants averaging age 73 indicated lasting benefits from the training 10 years later. The study, supported by the National Institutes of Health, found training gains lasted to some degree for problem-solving and reaction-time tests, but researchers found no indication of improved memory.
More data needed
Most neurologists agree this kind of research is only in its infancy, and far more is needed. But they're cautiously optimistic.
"The 10-year study is certainly one of the more promising studies in the literature that's out there right now, supporting the theory behind mental engagement," says Victor Henderson, a Stanford University professor of neurology and neurological sciences. "But I don't know if any evidence shows if one kind of engaging activity is more beneficial than another, for instance computerized tasks versus crossword puzzles or learning a musical instrument."
Murali Doraiswamy, director of the neurocognitive disorders program at the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences, also is encouraged by recent evidence, but is eager to see more data.
"What has not been proven is whether (brain training) can improve daily functioning skills or prevent onset of brain diseases, in all age groups," he says. "Most studies in this field have been in small samples. The field offers enormous promise, but is at an early stage of evidence gathering."
Indeed, the notion of cognitive training is coming under more scrutiny of late as more people turn to their computers and mobile devices to give their brains a workout.
Online brain games have become big business from subscription-based websites such as BrainHQ, Cogmed and Bay Area-based Lumosity and HAPPYneuron, each providing its own evidence to support claims of success using digital tools to make brain training fun.
A brain for the ages
Lumosity is likely the best known site, with frequent television ads and 50 million subscribers. For a $14.95 monthly membership, you can exercise your mind and track your progress on games like Raindrops, where math equations roll down the screen and you have to answer before they hit the bottom, or Eagle Eye that tests your attention as images fly by.
"Our product is based on the concept of neuroplasticity of the brain, that it can change and function in response to challenge," says Joe Hardy, vice president of research and development at Lumosity's Lumos Labs.
Hardy says there's no right or wrong time to start a brain workout.
"In different parts of your life there are different needs in terms of your cognition," he says. "A younger person might want to be extra sharp for work or sports. In middle age, you want to stay stimulated so as you do get older, you're advantaged. There's evidence around this idea of cognitive reserve -- if throughout your life you've been engaged in mentally challenging activities, you'll be benefited in older years."
Connie Chapman, 63, of Martinez, a retired forensics accountant who does bookkeeping part time, loves crossword puzzles and feels her work keeps her brain stimulated. She also plays online brain games.
"I know these activities, especially Lumosity, help keep me sharp," she says. "With the Raindrops game, I find I'm better at calculating that than I was a year ago. I think this is broader and more than just video games. I played Spider Solitaire for a long time, and it didn't make me much better at anything."
Stimulation or distraction?
Some wonder if, in today's world of scattered thinking -- checking your smartphone, emails, texting and more -- brain games are just another distraction?
"Those are very real modern-day concerns," Gazzaley says, who is in the process of writing a book called "The Distracted Mind." "So I'm on both sides of this, looking at how our brains function, how they interact with modern technologies."
Hardy says Lumosity's brain games require a tremendous amount of concentration and attention, "which makes them quite different from what might be considered multimedia distraction like phones ringing or emails," Hardy says. "With these, you're focused on one task for 15 minutes at a time. We hardly ever get that during a regular day."
Gregory John Burdett, 57, of Pleasant Hill, a tech consultant and jazz musician, says he recently looked into online brain games, but decided against them mainly because he's not convinced they make you better at anything other than playing the games.
Between his work and his study of musical theory and improvisation, he feels his brain is getting a good "stretching" as it is.
"If that isn't enough, then the brain games probably wouldn't help me much," he says. "I am not putting down the idea of brain exercise, though. My point is that brain games might not be the most effective way to do it."
Gazzaley, too, cautions that the science is just getting started, but hopes carefully designed games in the form of therapeutics will eventually be used in the clinical population, for children with autism or ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
"This is the early days of all this, so there's going to be this very steep curve of over-enthusiasm and some people being careless with their claims," Gazzaley says. "What's happening now is, we're moving forward with careful control and validation, to determine what design elements are necessary to bring results."

A pet cat that was mistakenly put in the baggage of its owner, miraculously survived the flight from Egypt to England that was almost 3400 miles long.
Bisou, seven-year-Persian cat, jumped in his mistress's suitcase to take a nap while she was packing her luggage to carry with the things to carry with her while visiting her sister in England.
When, after six an hour flight from Cairo she landed at London's Heathrow Airport, the phone of the woman rang. It was her cousins calling her to tell that her cat has gone missing. She said that this was very unusual to her because the cat almost never leaves the house. She then realized what had happened, I thought the worst and she was sure the cat did not survive.
However, the whole adventure was finished in the best possible way, as the cat survived the long trip and the cat owner still says that it was a mystery how the cat remained unharmed in the closed suitcase closed. The owner of the center for the care of animals also described the case as purely a miracle.

Is there a "kiss me" in there somewhere? Hold me, kiss me, thrill me...I can't think of who sang it.
Kiss me...kiss me...and when you do I know that you will miss me...miss me.... make me tell me I'm in love with you.
"Hold me, thrill me, kiss me" is the name of ths song.
Mel Carter sings it.
Nature is the 'Great Mysterious' ... the religion before religions. Peter Matthiessen, Indian Country
I really don't think he is related to Jimmy Carter! LOL
Mel Carter (born 22 April 1939, Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American singer.
oeg1kalleebut now if I can only get them outta my head
This song is a brain worm type ain't it though? Hey, it could be worse. We could have "someone left the cake out in the rain" worming around in there instead. lol.

You don't get much more bang for your buck than with the Clio 172 Cup. Light, agile, quick and immensely fun to drive, it is comfortably in the top 3-5 hot hatches ever made.
Day to day it's reasonably economical if driven sensibly and can keep up with more powerful cars costing 10 times it's price when you decide to up the pace.
Suffers from a lack of badge prestige with many people looking down on it as "just a Clio", but those in the know realise this little cars potential and I feel a duty to sing its praises whenever I can.
Did I mention I would love to work for the magazine?!

Staff at Soho production company, MJZ, filmed the pair engaged in some nookie on Wednesday afternoon and then posted the video on You Tube.
The 'Sex and the City' clip has received thousands of hits on the video sharing site and has been viewed by people in Australia and New Zealand.
A producer at MJZ said she was shocked to look out from her 2nd floor window and spot the pair engaged in their sunshine romp.
She said: "I was working away and looked up and saw this bloke and a girl in the doggie position going at it on top of a building across the road.
"I couldn't believe it, I started laughing and shouted to a couple of my colleagues and then one of the girls grabbed a camera and began filming it.
"They were going at it for a good ten minutes but stopped a few times in between for a well earned break."
During the 30-second clip a male voice says "this is insane" before a female screams "how can they not think everyone's looking?"
The MJZ staffer added: "It was brilliant afternoon entertainment but I bet they are regretting it now. They are the laughing stock of London."
TV director Matt White was among the hundreds who forwarded the video on to pals.
He said: "You can't go out on a building in central London and do that and think no one is going to spot you.
"I reckon they have a career in porn films ahead of them."
It is believed the pair were on top of the Windmill Theatre building in Great Windmill Street but their identities are unknown.
Last night The Windmill International, an upmarket table top dancing club in Great Windmill Street, denied their staff were involved in the randy video.

Salma Hayek the resistance fighter
Latino lovely Salma Hayek is set to play a hardened Algerian activist in her upcoming movie about the life of the resistance fighter.
Hayek will be playing Lalla Fadhma, known as the Joan of Arc of Djudura for her part in the Algerian resistance movement.
The Hollywood actress is known for her eclectic choice of roles, having played everything from a bi-sexual modern art legend to the wife of an assassin in Once Upon a Time in Mexico. But Lalla Fadhma is still an unusual choice.
The movie, directed by Algerian Rashid Bin Haj is budgeted at 40 million dollars and will be shot in Algeria, France and Qatar. There are rumors that Omar Sharif and the granddaughters of Fadhma will also be involved.
Fadma was 24 when French troops invaded the country and she took to the mountains to defend her land. In 1857 she was captured and died in prison six years later.
What do you think about Salma's choice of role? Tell us below.

We cannot deny that companies would always want younger employees, like they always wanted new software and new way of marketing.
Most of them make good use of old people on the management side. I don't know how to make stand on this since both parties have strong argument.
However, I am planning to make an in-depth study on this.

When designing a nursery for your little one, don't forget a rocking chair or glider to create a comfy corner in the room. Many moms will attest that being rocking their baby back to sleep after a midnight feeding is not only helpful, but a beautiful bonding experience. Not to mention, as your baby grows, the rocking chair can become a cozy place to read a book together before bedtime. At the Land of Nod, our gliders and rocking chairs are stylish and comfortable, which means they can even transition out of a nursery after your child has grown.

The Bald Soprano
by Eugene Ionesco
Mr. Martin
Character Analysis
Mr. Martin achieves the amazing accomplishment of being even more generic and bland than his counterpart Mr. Smith. He offers very few opinions on anything and pretty much echoes what everybody, especially Mr. Smith, says. Whenever Mr. Smith makes some sexist remarks, Mr. Martin is all like, "Yep, he's right." When everybody gets all upset about Mary wanting to tell a story, Mr. Martin readily agrees. In a way, it makes total sense when Mr. Martin replaces Mr. Smith at the end of the play – they're practically the same person.
One of the few differences between the Mr. Smith and Mr. Martin is that Martin manages to be even more forgetful than Smith. Smith may not be the brightest bulb, but at least he can remember what his wife looks like. It takes both Martins quite a while to remember each other. This hilarious and absurd process of elimination can perhaps be seen as a comment on the fallibility of memory. It could also be a comment on the subjective nature of reality. It forces us to ask, what would happen if the Martins didn't remember that they were married? Would that then mean they weren't? Much like with the Smiths, Mr. Martin's extremely shallow character manages to raise some deep questions.

It is true that we have not deliberately or wholly abandoned the Christian element in our tradition, but does that element count with us as it once did? Is the moral tone of the nation - its politics, its business life, its literature, its theatre, its movies, its radio networks, its television stations - Christian?

It is not merely the brevity by which the haiku isolates a particular group of phenomena from all the rest; nor its suggestiveness, through which it reveals a whole world of experience. It is not only in its remarkable use of the season word, by which it gives us a feeling of a quarter of the year; nor its faint all-pervading humour. Its peculiar quality is its self-effacing, self-annihilative nature, by which it enables us, more than any other form of literature, to grasp the thing-in-itself.

Humanity today is not safe in the presence of humanity. The old cannibalism has given way to anonymous action in which the killer and the killed do not know each other, and in which,indeed, the very fact of mass death has the effect of making mass killing less reprehensible than the death of a single individual. In short, we have evolved in every respect except our ability to protect ourselves against human intelligence. Our knowledge is vast but does not embrace the workings of peace. . . . We study history, philosophy, religions, languages, literature, art, architecture, political science . . . anthropology, biology, medicine, psychology, sanitation . . . chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics. But we have yet to make peace basic to our education. The most important subject in the world is hardly taught at all. In the spirit of this passage, the editor has taken the liberty of editing Mr. Cousins' language to make it more gender inclusive.
Norman Cousins (1912 - 1990)
Source: Place of Folly, 1962.
The library is not a shrine for the worship of books. It is not a temple where literary incense must be burned or where one's one devotion to the bound book is expressed in ritual. A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life.

Zucchini Muffins
Serves 24
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded zucchini
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 cup chopped walnuts, optional
Enter your friends email address below and your name so they know who it's from
Serves 24
This is a great recipe for using up some of that summer zucchini. I used olive oil as the vegetable oil, and I used very liberal amounts of zucchini (packed it into the cup well and let it pile up on top of the cup). I also used the recipe to make 2 loaves of zucchini bread because I didn't want to spend the time on a bunch of muffins. I baked the 2 loaves for about 45 mins. total, but checked frequently after about half an hour to see whether the loaves were ready. The bread came out very, very moist - good recipe!Annalisa - 2013-05-27 18:33:02
super delicious! i substituted agave nectar for the sugar which gives it just the right amount of sweetness. use 2/3c. for every 1c. sugar.jacki - 2010-06-14 19:26:26

Profile your top 20% of clients and then strategically pinpoint prospects that have the same characteristics. For example, maybe your top 20% are regional financial institutions and you work with their community outreach coordinators. What other kinds of financial organizations might have a similar need in your area? Think of credit unions, banks, accountants, financial aid offices at universities. Look for commonalities that will allow you to present yourself as the expert in that area.

Somewhere between running in the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot and enjoying Thanksgiving dinner, Saratogans might want to turn on their televisions. But instead of tuning into the yearly football and basketball games, they might want to try and catch a glimpse of the Saratoga High School marching band and color guard.
The band is participating in this year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Preparations have been in process since the beginning of the year.
And Jonathan Pwu said the band is almost there.
"We are in the final stages of cleaning our routine up. After our first rehearsal [in New York], we'll be ready," said Pwu, associate instrumental director.
A large contingent of parent volunteers is expected to travel along with the band. Some will be official volunteers, while others are going for the experience while helping to make sure things go off without a hitch.
"It's been abuzz with excitement and stress, but mostly excitement for the opportunity to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime event," Pwu said about the feeling in the music department. "Issues may arise when we get there, but I know our team will respond as best as possible and has taken many precautions."
About 4 million people are expected to be along the parade route, and millions more will be watching from home.
So do the students have any idea the history they'll be a part of? Pwu said yes.
"I do think the students understand that this is a big deal. This week a multitude of boxes shipped in from New York with our Macy's patches and pins that must be put on all 230 uniforms. When those arrived and the students saw them, they realized, 'This is really happening,'" he said.
Much of the organization has been overseen by instrumental music coordinator Takako Hasegawa, Pwu said. She's organized the volunteers and shipping, even helping to get DHL to sponsor the band and ship supplies, uniforms and some equipment for free.
Getting to this point has taken a lot of time and money.
The music department had to come up with $148,700, most of which went to pay for sousaphones. The lighter alternatives to tubas are required by Macy's. Much of the money was raised through the Saratoga Music Boosters' Leave a Legacy Campaign.
Families have also been asked to pay $2,000 per student. That will cover the students' flight, rooms, meals and transportation.
And students should expect a long day on Thanksgiving.
Band members will need to be at Central Park West early that morning. Everyone involved will go through a practice march between 3 and 5 a.m.
After that the band will head to an Applebee's, which has been rented out so students can have a bite to eat and a warm place to be.
All those involved will probably never forget the experience. But the school's participation in the parade has also helped invigorate the program.
The program's banner was redesigned, and the school's fight song has been arranged for orchestra.
"That part, to me, has been so exciting," said Michael Boitz, chairman of the school's music department.
"It's been like taking an old antique out of the closet, polishing it up and giving it a new life form," he added. "That's what we've done with a number of things in the program.
"What this whole event has done for us is propelled us and been a big shot of energy. For me, it's been a shot in the arm of excitement."
It's seems like it's been the same for everyone.

Elsewhere on this site, people have taken it upon themselves to write in about people they claim are committing fraud using ODSP.
Now, here's the thing.
This site is NOT a pipeline to the government. :-)
So, you're wasting your time writing your story here.
Secondly, I strongly suggest that you think very carefully about accusing anyone of fraud - it is a serious issue.
And, it is highly unlikely that any of us knows the intimate ins and outs of another person's illness and capabilities - let alone know all the intricacies of ODSP regulations.
In other words, there is a high probability that what you think is ODSP fraud maybe isn't.
So really, really think twice before you judge others - after all acquiring a disability is an equal opportunity event.
One day it may be you that needs ODSP.
Then you would discover what a paltry and inadequate sum of money is provided by ODSP, and how horrendous all the requirements to prove need are.
And, you'd discover how judgmental people can be.
Having said all that, if you are convinced that you know of a fraud, then call the Ontario government directly.
Suspected cases may be reported by telephoning
1 (800)394-7867
As far as this site goes....
Any future stories about ODSP fraud on this site will be deleted, and authors may be banned....
