If you're looking for an extreme comfort go-to brand, don't panic: UNCL loungewear has your back. Made in the heart of Los Angeles, UNCL clothing (think hoodies, sweatshirts, tees and other sportswear) is a line of luxurious chillout apparel for men who want a life of both comfort and style. UNCL was founded in 2010 by Ahmed Mokhtar, whose legendary affinity for loungewear came from growing up in Laguna Beach, CA (he was so good at relaxing that his friends started calling him "Uncle" -- a nod to his laid-back persona). After Mokhtar found himself playing football at the University of Southern California and unable to find a decent hoodie on campus, he decided to make his own, sourcing fabric from Egypt and dishing up the freshest garbs. Friends, USC Trojans fans and rivals took note; once NFL players started wearing UNCL sweatshirts, the rest was history. Now, the sports apparel brand is also a verb -- if you're wearing UNCL and hanging out, you're "uncing." So get your UNCs on, bro, get UNCing.
Once in a while, we wind up with some great items that haven't found their way to a good home (read: yours). It's tragic, we know. But there's a silver lining — we've put all our stylish leftovers in one place for easy browsing (and picking). We've only got a few of each item in stock, so move fast before we run out.
Give the white tees a rest this summer and spruce up your off-duty gear with a slew of graphic T-shirts and tank tops. From brands like Warriors of Radness, Ben Sherman, Alternative Apparel, and more, this sale will ensure your casual weekend attire never loses a step in a style.
Whether you're enjoying Sunday coffee or hitting a dive bar with your buddies, this sale offers an array of casual essentials fit for the weekend. With a slew of jeans, tees, and henleys, this is the perfect time to breathe some new life into your casual wardrobe.
Lounge in style this summer with our assortment of knitwear from brands like Supima, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and more. Featuring a whole host of solid-colored and striped tees, tanks, and more, there are plenty of options to update your off-duty gear this season.

On my website each parent page has a different header. I have been able to generate this successfully by using this code:
$post = $wp_query->post;
if ( is_page('page1') ) {
include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/header-1.php');
But when I go to a child page no header is showing.
What I need is for child pages to show the same header as its parent.
Any idea?

1.8 million more people are in work since 2010, and that works out at roughly 1,000 per day. It is when you dig a bit deeper that things start to unravel. Only from the middle of 2013 were more employee jobs created than lost. Of the 1.1 million rise in the number in work between 2008 and 2014, 732,000 were actually in self-employment.
Fortunately, being an entrepreneur has now become much easier thanks to new technologies and the internet, which have reduced the risk of setting up in business significantly. Lack of job opportunities has also driven entrepreneurial change and so made starting up your own business a much more attractive alternative.
Unlike Ed Miliband, I won't sit around deriding improved employment figures. There are problems we must fix instead of running negative campaigns - for instance, ONS estimates suggest that the average (median) income of the self-employed has fallen by around 22% since 2008, at least in part because many of the self-employed are working fewer hours than they would like. As the economy improves in the years ahead, some may prefer to move back for the security of full-time employment - if so, they will take with them valuable experience of huge benefit to the organisations they join.

I love this tossed with pasta and a medley of veggies. It's also great spread on warm bread.
- Yield
- 1.5 cups
- 4 Cloves Garlic
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Salt (Optional)
- 3/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 cup Walnuts
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 3 cups Fresh Basil
- Add garlic, cheese and nuts to a blender or food processor. Blend until sandy in texture. Add basil to the mix. While blending add the olive oil until the consistency you like is reached. Taste and add salt if needed. Notes: 1) You can sub in other nuts for the walnuts. Pine nuts are traditional, but I prefer the flavor and price of walnuts. 2) You can use other hard cheeses for this as well (eg pecorino). 3) You can sub in or add other herbs. Rosemary adds a nice complexity. 4) This pesto freezes really well. When I make it, I'll make 4-5 recipes and freeze it for later on.

Financial Aid & Scholarships
Do you think a private education is out of reach because of the cost involved? Lots of students may think that.
In reality, the majority of students at private colleges come from families earning less than $30,000 annually, and in Arkansas, they typically graduate owing less than students who attend state-supported colleges and universities. How? Financial aid!
When you're looking at ways to pay for your education, there are several aid options available to you.
One thing you'll learn about Ozarks is that we have alumni and donors who realize the impact of "giving back." Thanks in part to their generous support, we're able to provide more than $5 million annually to help more than 90 percent of our students fund their education!
Our financial aid team can help you determine what assistance might be available to you. Explore the financial aid possibilities available to you at Ozarks!

Central West Sac area sees roadwork
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
Residents of the Westmore Oaks area will see some digging, scraping and pouring happening on their local streets for a couple more months. Streets such as Meadow Road, Westacre Road and Fernwood Street are seeing their streets and sidewalks fixed, and their sidwalks brought into compliance with the Americans for Disabilities Act (ADA).
It's part of the "Westmore Oaks Street Rehabilitation Project," said Vin Cay, the project manager for the work in the West Sacramento Public Works Department.
"Basically, we're resurfacting the roads," Cay told the News-Ledger. "Primarily, it's slurry seal, but we have to do certain ADA concrete work, installing access ramps at all intersections and curb returns. On the bigger streets, like Westacre from US 50 to Park Boulebvard, we're going to repair two inches of the AC (asphalt/concrete)."
"If there are any sunken curbs and gutters, or sidewalks raised by trees, we will try to hit those first."
[adrotate group="7″] "In some instances, you may see curbs and sidewalks that don't meet ADA standards, and we're going to have to replace them," added Cay. "If you're rolling (a wheelchair) and it's to steep on the sideways grade, it's hard to roll."
"We hope to finish in early November," he said.
The project has been publicized on the city website and the contractor is expected to keep passing out flyers along affected streets as work continues. The project is funded by a federal grant and by Measure K, a local measure in which West Sacramento residents agreed to pay a sales tax surcharge to fund local projects.

News from around Yolo County
From the West Sacramento News-Ledger — AUG 22, 2012 —
By Steve Marschke
News-Ledger Editor
— This year's "Yolo County Teacher of the Year" is Jerry Delsol, a high school teacher from the Woodland Joint Unified School district. Colleagues called him "inspiring."
The award is given by the Yolo County Superintendent of Schools from among nominations from each district in the county. The winner is submitted to a competition to be chosen as one of California's five "teachers of the year."
— County offices in Woodland will get a large ceramic mural "celebrating farming and food" at their entrance.
Artist Susan Shelton of Davis won the selection process for the project at the entrance of the Erwin Meier Administration Building at 625 Court Street.
"I will create a mural that will bring beauty, color, insight and innovation in exploring the theme of agriculture and art in our county," Shelton said in her application. "I will bear in mind that this building. . . houses government offices and meetings, and welcomes elected officials, county residents and voters, and I will create a work of art that holds to the dignity due to it, and its citizens."
She will invite community members to paint tiles for the project, which is sponsored by YoloArts.
[adrotate group="7″] — Debra Wellbrock is the new principal of the Yolo County Alternative Education Program, overseeing education at juvenile hall, the Einstein Education Center and the Midtown Program. She was formerly in charge of continuation education and other programs at Chino Valley Unified School District.
— Marlon Yarber, the former Yolo County Assistant Chief Probation Officer, was named Interim Chief Probation Officer last month.
Before joining Yolo County last year, he was deputy director of the Corrections Planning and Programs Division at the Corrections Standards Authority.
— The "pre-trial unit" at the Yolo County Probation Department was assessed and lauded by an outside expert earlier this year.
Dr. Marie VanNostrand of the National Institute of Corrections and Bureau of Justice reported "this unit is in the top three of all pre-trial service units I have ever assessed."
The Pre-Trial Unit began in 2009 with grant funding, and supervises an average of 100 suspects who have been released from jail pending their trials, according to county spokesperson Beth Gabor.
"Of the 441 closed cases under the watchful eye of the Pre-Trial Unit in 2011, only 5.4 percent (of the subjects) were returned to custody due to committing a new offense," said Gabor in a press release, and "93 percent of clients appeared in court for hearings through the sentencing phase."
Grant funding is scheduled to end next month, and Yolo County officials were seeking to keep the pre-trial unit.

4 July 2013 – Voyages on Two Wheels & Adventures With Ember
Well, that was a very tiring, but (mostly) fun day
I started Independence Day with the goal of playing with my daughter, going shooting, going for a ride, and playing with pyrotechnics. Somehow all of those goals were accomplished over the course of the day
Cindy, Ember, and I started the day by picking up Cindy's mom and heading down to Huntington, UT for their celebration. We had a pretty good time and I took these pics while we were waiting for Cindy to get some Navajo tacos. It turns out there was only one guy in the cart making them and he was "slower than cold tar" according to Cindy who decided that she didn't really want to wait that long in line. We left and found a different restaurant which had nearly as slow of service, but at least we were in air conditioning
After we'd gotten Cindy's mom home and things settled down just a bit, I grabbed my guns and headed to an outdoor range for the first time in what seems like forever I still have six guns and a decent stock of ammo, but I hate to shoot what I can't replace. Thankfully, I managed to find some affordable 9mm and .22 LR at Walmart not too long ago I'm a bit rusty, but not too bad and I had a blast
I only brought five guns this time – the ones you see above, my grandpa's Marlin Model 60, and my Maverick 88 shotgun. I didn't have too much time and didn't want to go though too much ammo, so I left my other Marlin back at home.
After going home and dropping off my guns, ammo, and targets, I traded the car for the motorcycle and went to dinner with Cindy, Ember, Cindy's mom, and her grandma. Dinner went well, but I realized that $15 was missing from my pocket. I decided to backtrack & didn't find it, so I double checked up at the shooting range…
Yeah, I had the V-Star back out on the dirt again This is the road to the range and it's the most rutted dirt I've ever tried to navigate on my motorcycle, but it went just fine I didn't find my money, but I didn't crash either
By the way, I have to send a special thanks out to Bill "Pinch" Paisley who did a great job making my last picture much better than it was! Be sure to head over to instapinch.com for some seriously cool photography
Independence day finished out with some cool fireworks in the street out in front of our house. I think Ember liked the pretty colors and lights
Well, that's it for now. I'll be back soon with more pics of who knows what, but you can bet there will be more stuff about Ember!
Have a great day everyone

American Airlines and Southwest Airlines celebrate Halloween with a rock-and-roll theme
Is American Airlines becoming more like Southwest Airlines?
Yes, when it comes to Halloween. That's because North Texas now has two airline CEOs who like to celebrate Halloween like kids. You gotta love it!
Of course, Southwest Airlines' CEO Gary Kelly and the rest of the executive team always come up with a costume theme for the company's annual Halloween party at its Dallas headquarters, which is today.
This year, Kelly and his team dressed as the Beatles — complete with 1960s shaggy wigs and pin-straight dark suits — playing off of The Beatles music that Southwest has been using in its new advertising campaign.
I can't tell which of the Fab Four Kelly is supposed to be, but a post on the company's Nuts About Southwest blog says he's Paul McCartney. And Southwest's chief operating officer Mike Van de Ven is Ringo Starr, chief people and administrative officer Jeff Lamb is John Lennon and chief commercial officer Bob Jordan is George Harrison. Chief legal and regulatory officer Ron Ricks was the late variety-show host Ed Sullivan.
Last year, Kelly was Phil Robertson, the family patriarch on the reality TV show Duck Dynasty. In other years, he has been Woody from the move Toy Story, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, Edna Turnblad from Hairspray, Wild Bill Hickok and Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top.
Now that US Airways is part of American Airlines and CEO Doug Parker is based here in Dallas, he has brought his version of a corporate Halloween celebration to North Texas. The two airlines merged in December.
Parker and his executive team don crazy costumes and perform for the rest of the staff every Halloween. This year, they dressed as the pop boy band One Direction. Parker was Zayn Malik of the band.
A few years ago the then-US Airways executive team dressed up as members of the music band Green Day and singer Lady Gaga.

Italian Mannequins Collect Data on Shoppers
Mannequins with a camera embedded in one eye are being used to track the age, gender and race of shoppers. The data collected will enable retailers to adjust window displays, store layouts and promotions to suit the profile of shoppers identified.
The €4,000 (£3,236) EyeSee mannequins, made by Italian company Almax SpA, use software typically reserved for high security locations, such as airports, where law enforcement track the public. It's already in the stores of five global brands across four countries, including two in Europe, the US and Canada, and according to CEO Max Catanese there have been plenty of requests from UK retailers.
"It's a system that's able to give demographics about the person passing in front of it," Catanese told Wired.co.uk. "It's based on an algorithm. The algorithm analysed three million faces before going to production and now the number, as well as the accuracy, is rising. Once [companies] read the data, they can implement strategies inside the stores to boost sales."
The article goes on to examine the legal and privacy implications of this use of technology which may to some feel somewhat creepy. On the one hand lawyer Stewart Room, a partner with Field Fisher Waterhouse, suggests that in Europe collecting data for profiling has to be consent-based. On the other hand, Mr. Catanese says that the cameras are "blind" and do not store images, unlike the security cameras used in most large stores.
It is a debate that seems set to continue especially as Almax is reportedly looking to go further with its mannequins. Forthcoming models could have "ears" to listen into customer conversations.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated an audit of maintenance procedures of major airlines to check whether the projected losses of Rs 10,000 crore this fiscal year are leading to a compromise on passenger safety.
"The DGCA tracks airline operations to make sure that safety stipulations are followed. The financial crisis now warrants a special effort to track safety measures not for negligence or oversight, but for shortfall of human resources, spares or maintenance," a civil aviation ministry source said on condition of anonymity.

3rd Annual Double Denim Bar Crawl
Chicagoland Bar Crawlers aimed their fundraising efforts towards Autism Speaks while poking fun at an outdated fashion trend.
For the third consecutive year, the Double Denim Bar Crawl mocked denim fashion, because a jean jacket paired with jeans is just too excessive. For the first year, the DDBC partnered with the Chicagoland Chapter of Autism Speaks to raise money and awareness for Autism.
On April 9th, 170 Denim-Wearing Bar crawlers made it to 5 different bars in the Wrigleyville, Chicago neighborhood. Acid-washed jackets, jean shorts, overalls and various denim accessories were spotted throughout the crowd, which managed to raise $2200 and have a radical time doing so.
Contests included Kiddie Cocktail Races, a Double Denim Dance Off and Denim Fashion Awards (such as Denim Princess and Best Double Denim). Over $1000 in raffle prizes were awarded as well.
If you'd like more information, or would like to sponsor/donate/partner with the DDBC next year, please contact the Denim King himself, Ben Warner, at email@example.com.

E Street Care's Benefit Concert and Silent Auction
This guest post is by Dana Morris, the Events Director of the Chicagoland Chapter at Autism Speaks.
E Street's owners Tom and Kathy George don't have kids of their own. But you wouldn't know it by meeting them and seeing their genuinely warm spirits and caring personalities. Tom and Kathy have been dressing the North Shore of Chicago in top premium denim since 1990 and have made their place in the community. On Friday, November 12th they hosted their second annual Care Concert, which benefitted Autism Speaks and Syd Rocks, another local charity. It was a cold and rainy night but you wouldn't know it by entering the festively tent complete with holiday lights. Over 200 guests enjoyed fantastic food and beverages while rocking out to the sounds of Danny Chaimson and the Gold Coast All Stars, who kept the dance floor filled all night. A fantastic silent auction featuring local businesses rounded out the evening with offerings from E Street, a signed guitar and a photo portrait sitting.
We came to know Tom and Kathy through Spencer Savitz and the Savitz family, whose walk team, Team Tyler, over the years has raised over $500,000 for the Chicago walk. Spencer's friends sold raffle tickets as well as custom Autism Speaks bracelets all night and pretty much didn't take no for an answer. The E Street family has been a wonderful partner to the Chicagoland Chapter and continues to help raise from for Autism Speaks year round –complete with our logo on the doors of their locations in Chicago and Wisconsin. We cannot thank E Street Denim and the Savitz Family for their outstanding commitment to Autism Speaks.
Campbell for Kids Texas Hold'Em Poker Tournament
On Wednesday, February 10, 2010, Brian Campbell, Defenseman for the Chicago Blackhawks, hosted a Texas Hold'Em Poker Tournament at Harrah's Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind. to raise funds for his new foundation, Campbell for Kids. The mission of the foundation is to raise funds for charities throughout Chicago and Illinois that serve children with special needs and learning disabilities. During this first year, the focus is to raise funds for autism, and Brian has named Autism Speaks as a primary charity partner.
The event was a tremendous success, with $115,000 raised. With dozens of celebrities in attendance, including Tony Esposito, Jim McMahon, Patrick Kane and other current and alumni Blackhawks team members, guests enjoyed a one-of-a-kind opportunity to mingle with some of Chicago's greatest athletes. Autism Speaks Chicagoland Chapter Vice Chair, Tricia Brouwers, acknowledged Brian Campbell during the opening remarks and expressed pride to be named a partner. More than 750 guests enjoyed top-notch tournament play. As an added benefit, those tournament players responsible for eliminating Blackhawks and the other celebrity players during the tournament received the Blackhawks jerseys right off their backs! Guests also enjoyed unlimited drinks and dining, live entertainment, casino gaming, a silent and live auction, as well as cash prizes that were awarded to the top five players in the tournament. The auction was an area of interest with several auction packages including signed memorabilia, including a helmet signed by hockey great Tony Esposito and dinner with three Chicago Blackhawks team members helped to raise more than $20,000 alone.
Campbell's interest in helping children sparked while in New York playing for the Buffalo Sabres. Brian spent time volunteering at the Summit School which provides special education for children and young adults with disabilities. At Summit he had the opportunity to interact with the students during the school day as well as attend various events to advocate for the education of individuals with disabilities. Since 2005, Brian has continued his relationship with Summit School through hosting the Summit Golf Tournament, where all proceeds benefit the school. Brian looks forward to expanding his work with Illinois-based students through his new foundation, Campbell for Kids. For more information on Brian Campbell, click here.
We are proud to partner with Campbell for Kids to grow and expand support for families in the Chicago area. Congratulations to Brian on a tremendous event!

The Chicago Auto Show's First Look for Charity
On Thursday, February 10, 2010, the Chicagoland Chapter of Autism Speaks welcomed over 300 guests to the Chicago Auto Show's First Look for Charity, which is one of Chicago's largest single-day charity events. Autism Speaks is proud to commemorate nine years as a charity partner of this highly regarded Chicago black-tie event.
The Chicago Auto Show opened its doors to a select group of guests for a sneak preview the night before it opened to the public. Guests of Autism Speaks enjoyed a special VIP reception, complete with hors d'oeuvres, champagne, wine, sweets and good company. Agatha DeFranco, this year's event chair, acknowledged Mercedes as our single-largest contributor, in addition to recognizing Kim Wolf, who helped to launch this event in 2003 and chaired it for eight years running. The black-tie affair allowed participants to peacefully stroll the show floor amid opulence not present during the public portion of the Chicago Auto Show. Abundant hors d'oeuvres and drinks awaited those getting the first look at the more than 1,000 new vehicles – some on display for the first time anywhere at the Chicago Auto Show.
This year's First Look for Charity has raised nearly $75,000 in support of Autism Speaks. Congratulations to Agatha DeFranco on a job well done.

Roger in round three
Roger defeated Canadian outsider Frederic Niemeyer to advance 7-6 (3), 6-4 in the second round of the ATP Montreal Masters.
"I'm very happy with my game. I reacted well in my first match back," Roger commented. "I played the big points well. I'm very pleased. I'm happy to be back after the long break. We played at a very high level. Frederic has a big serve and is tough."
Our number one had a bit of adjusting to do. As the first set failed to produce a break, Roger then took the opener in a tie-break 7-3. Niemeyer continued to battle in the second until Roger finally wore down the Canadian, earning the only break of the match to go up 4-3 before wrapping it up after 86 minutes.
Next up is either fellow countryman Stanislas Wawrinka (ATP 22) or Andrej Golubew (ATP 66).
good luck against Stanislas, let's go Roger!!!
Dear Roger,
Congratulations once again and GOOD LUCK today against Stan.
Just enjoy and play your beautiful game. And...smile at the end!
You CAN do it! GO and DO IT!!!
"COME ON" Roger,
I don't want a four leaf clover
I don't want a old horse shoe
I just want to see you HIT
and the others miss
cos of a good luck charm like you
COME ON, and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck ch
All my best wishes for you in your match tonight against Stanislas wawrinka .
Maika .

The area is a large, carpeted conference room. Around 1/3 is devoted to to video production.
It's an education company, and the main layout is a large, wall-mounted, magnetic whiteboard in the center of the room. Ideally we would like to make this mobile for more lighting options, etc.
For lighting we have 3x StarLights with Medium softboxes. We are looking into adding a Constellation 3 as the key light with larger soft box.
Typically one light is the to left as a backlight, one light is to the right as a fill light, and one light is up as high as it can go as the key. It's high up to reduce the shadows of the objects on the whiteboard.
We film educational training videos with this setup, as well as live-streaming sessions, and would like to remove as much clutter as we can from the floor.
Our video equipment:
Panasonic HMC150
Canon EOS cameras (T3i, 60D, 7D)
Canon GL-2 (for streaming at the moment)
1. I'm looking for recommendations for mounting the Photoflex lights (StarLight and Constellation 3). It's a drop ceiling, so we are currently testing some scissor clamps. We are also looking into trussing options.
2. Whiteboard Lighting. Has anyone had any experience lighting a whiteboard? It's hard to light a whiteboard without shadows from the objects on the board and hot spots from the light. Any ideas?
Note: I will post accurate dimensions of the room soon. But I'm thinking it's around 15-20' high, and plenty of horizontal space.]]>

You've just won a free-kick outside the box - who do you want to take it, Gilberto or Jermain Defoe?
This happened as New York Red Bulls took on Toronto last week - and unsurprisingly, both players would back themselves.
Defoe was felled by Lloyd Sam in a very promising position for the Canadian club he now plays for, having left Tottenham Hotspur for the fledgling league.
Gilberto grabbed the ball first and wouldn't let his team-mate wrestle it from him. In fact, the two engaged in a rather heated physical debate over who had free-kick 'dibs'.
Defoe, who'd already netted once in the game, was adamant that he should have first dibs and when it became clear he wasn't going to, his facial expression was the text-book definition of 'mardy'.
Still, he got over his rage fairly quickly as Gilberto lashed a screamer into the back of the net. Indeed, it truly was a cracking free-kick! Check it out for yourself here.
Within seconds, Defoe forgave his comrade, making nice with the man who, as it turns out, was absolutely right to pull rank on him:
Defoe wore the embarrassed grin seen at the top of this blog for the rest of the game, which ended in a 2-2 draw when another English exile, Bradley Wright-Phillips, volleyed home an equaliser in the final of four minutes added on at the end.

Seib & Wessel: What We're Reading Monday
Recommended reading from around the Web:
By Gerald F. Seib and David Wessel
Big advances in computer programs in the last few years—programs developed in Silicon Valley and put to use by intelligence agencies—vastly expanded the National Security Agency's ability to digest huge amounts of data, helping pave the way toward the surveillance programs now arousing such controversy. [WSJ]
Bart Gellman (@bartongellman) describes his early code-name-stuffed dealings with Edward Snowden, the leaker in the NSA case. [Washington Post] and on Twitter The Guardian's Greg Greenwald challenges some of the account. [@ggreenwald]
The current uproar over government surveillance is a welcome sign that we are moving, belatedly, beyond a permanent-war mindset that for a while now has been neither justified by global reality nor healthy for the country, Alec MacGillis (@AlecMacGillis) writes. [New Republic]
Gideon Lichfield (@glichfield) says the Snowden lesson to business and government: Your IT people are your biggest risk. [Quartz]
Iran's presidential candidates held a full-bore debate, and leading candidate Saeed Jalili, who's also Iran's top nuclear negotiator, "faced withering criticism for winning no diplomatic result" after months of high-level nuclear talks with world powers, resulting in increasingly tough economic sanctions against Iran. [Christian Science Monitor]
Kemal Dervish says he is hopeful a modern, less paternalistic Turkey may emerge from the demonstrations there because a core of secular but largely apolitical youth was joined by observant Muslims, mid-career professionals, factory workers and because some senior government officials are repulsed by the force used against the peaceful protestors. [FT]
A synopsis of issues, potential outcomes and implications of the Bundesbank-backed challenge in Germany's constitutional court to the European Central Bank's "whatever it takes" offer to buy bonds of cash-strapped governments under certain conditions. [Open Europe]
European countries that need to stimulate aggregate demand the most are reluctant and those where the politics would allow it are least able to take on additional debt, says Robert Kahn. The IMF's calls on Germany to borrow and spend more are unlikely to be heeded due to bailout fatigue and Germany's confidence that its fiscal path is appropriate. [CFR]
Central bankers should be spiking the punch bowl, not taking it away, Harvard economist Ken Rogoff argues. The case for encouraging a moderate (4% to 6%) burst of inflation may not be as strong as it was when he advocated it at the start of the crisis, but it'd still be welcome, he says. [Project Syndicate]
The Nation questions whether its eagerness for corporate contributions – largely undisclosed — influence the Center for American Progress, which the Democrat-leaning think tank denies. [Nation]
A long and moving account of one Newtown family struggling to keep going while preserving the memory of their seven-year-old son. [Washington Post]
Gridlock in Washington is pushing the action to state capitals, Robert Reich (@RBReich) says. "Many blue states are moving further left, while red states are heading rightward. In effect, America is splitting apart without going through all the trouble of a civil war," he writes. [Robert Reich]
Edward Luce (@EdwardGLuce) chronicles the renaissance of American inner cities — including Detroit — as the poor move to the 'burbs. [FT]
Ron Brownstein (@RonBrownstein) says Republicans' 2014 problem is young people who do vote; Democrats' problem is young people who don't. [National Journal]

Franklin is the most common city name in the U.S. (31). Clinton and Washington are second (29). Arlington is next (28). Chester, Georgetown, Madison and Salem follow (27). [USPS]

CINCINNATI (AP) - Cedric Benson was back at practice on
Wednesday, ready to resume his role as the Cincinnati Bengals' top
running back following a two-week break.
Benson was home in Texas for the last two weeks, getting some
unwanted rest. The Bengals (5-2) had their bye, followed by Benson
serving a one-game suspension for violating the NFL's conduct
The Bengals beat Seattle without him. He's ready to take most of
the carries Sunday in Tennessee (4-3).
The only good part for Benson was that the league reduced his
suspension from an original three games to one. He said on
Wednesday that he was surprised the NFL did that.

A Conversation with Elizabeth Wurtzel, Author and First-Year Lawyer
Readers know we've been following the Wachovia/Citi/Wells Fargo situation fairly closely. But yesterday, we learned a little something new about the lawyers on the case. While Boies, Schiller & Flexner's David Boies, George Frampton, Amy Neuhardt and Philip Bowman led the charge for Wachovia, Team Wachovia also picked up contributions this week from a first-year associate named Elizabeth Wurtzel. Yup, that Elizabeth Wurtzel — the author of Prozac Nation, Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women, and More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction. Wurtzel graduated from Yale Law earlier this year and on Monday started life as a first-year associate at Boies Schiller.
Friday afternoon, we talked with Wurtzel, 41, who spent a good hour with us chatting about a range of things, from New York after 9/11 to the writing life to her first week in a pressure-filled law-firm office.
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for taking the time. Before we get to Boies Schiller, let's take a step back. We'd read you had gone to law school, but hadn't really gotten the lowdown on why you'd done that. So let's ask. Why the heck did you go to law school?
You know, it's something that others haven't really gotten right. The truth is that I'd always wanted to go to law school. When I was in my 20s, I'd gotten the applications, but given everything that was going on, I'd never really had the time to go through with the effort. But I'd always thought it would be a great experience.
I had a really hard time after 9/11. I was basically living across the street from the World Trade Center, and a big chunk of debris fell on top of my building and the roof caved in. I thought I was going to die. Really. I'd never thought that before, but on that day I sat there and thought 'I cannot believe it's going to end this way.' Afterward, I was very determined not to let this have an effect on me, but I couldn't get there. I was really quite upset. I stayed in my apartment and read books about Islam and Osama bin Laden and American policy abroad and Israel and the Arabs and it became quite obsessive. I thought, 'if this is what I'm doing with my time, I might as well go to school.' So I applied.
What about your writing career at the time? I take it you were willing to set it aside for law school?
Well, 'More, Now, Again' came out right after 9/11 and it just sort of got lost in the miasma, which I really think is a shame because I think it's by far the best thing I've done. I don't think I really cared about my writing at that point. What was on my mind was that I wanted to learn more; nothing else felt that important.
And why law school?
I thought about other programs, but there's something very substantial and effective about a law degree. If you want to go prosecute terrorists, you can do that with a law degree. But the bigger part of me was interested in teaching. I really thought that that's what I would end up doing.
Did Yale live up to expectations?
Completely. I thought it was amazing. I really hadn't taken advantage of my undergraduate years — I just partied through them — and I was immediately ready to work. I suppose the biggest adjustment was getting used to my peers. There was a big generation gap, and I learned pretty quickly that law students are fairly risk averse and cautious. They were so good! So well behaved! And so unlike a lot of the people I'd spent my 20s with. It was a bit of a shock, but I came to appreciate that mindset. Still, I tried to get them to lounge with me, but they wouldn't. They don't know how to lounge.
During one of your summers you worked at WilmerHale, right?
I did. I really liked it. I thought it was a great firm and would have been totally happy there. I actually liked writing memos about personal jurisdiction. I had loved civil procedure and evidence as a student and realized that it'd be a shame if I didn't at least try to be a lawyer. In the end, I wanted to work part time at WilmerHale, and they weren't too keen on that idea, so it didn't work out. But I liked the summer there a lot.
So how did Boies Schiller come about?
Like everyone, I was a huge fan of David Boies, and from what I knew about him, I thought he might "get" me. So I sent him an email. I said I want to practice law but that I didn't want to stop writing and I asked if there was any way I could practice law for him. I really didn't think he'd be interested, but he called me up one day and asked if I was still interested. So we met and we talked and he offered me a job.
I take it you liked David when you met?
I can't say enough about him. He's a very engaging, mesmerizing person. He's just so thoughtful about so many things. I've only been here a week, but the firm is just filled with brilliant people. It's very impressive.
So did you work out a part-time arrangement?
The truth is that I'll work full-time, probably. It's just that I wanted to have a little of flexibility, like to be able to work from home from time to time. But I'm going to be working hard, I know, which is fine. The only thing for me at home is my dog, really. If I didn't have a dog, I could live in the office.
Your first week sounded crazy. You walked right in on the Wachovia situation, right?
I did. Had I started a week earlier, my life might have been much different, but I got there too late to really get all that involved. But I did some research on it and I watched the team work. People were so devoted and serious and took great pains to look at every possible argument. It was very impressive to watch. People were there for a couple nights in a row, and I honestly found the dedication everyone showed really pretty moving.
So what happens to your writing career? Are you just putting it up on the shelf?
I don't know what'll happen. If law takes over, it'll be because I'm enjoying it, because it's interesting and worthwhile. I write a lot of op-eds, which don't take a lot of time and I won't stop doing that. I've also tried to turn my law-school thesis into a book.
Really? What's that about?
It's about how the Constitution created Hollywood, about creativity and the Constitution. To me, it's just sort of mind-boggling that the framers put provisions in the Constitution that had to do with intellectual property. At the time, our country was a pretty rugged place, but it seems they had a hope of making the country a place in which creativity and invention could really flourish. So that's what it's about, and that's what on my mind at the moment on the writing front.
It's interesting. For a lot of lawyers, the life of a writer seems so ideal, or at least so opposite from what they know. A lawyer's life is highly structured; a writer's life, not so much. Are you ready for this much structure in your life?
I'm actually really looking forward to that. I used to feel that I spent too much of my time in my pajamas doing nothing, and I'd think 'in the time that I don't spend writing, I could raise a family of five.' In a lot of ways, being a writer is lonely and alienating. You hear about the work ethic of people like Joyce Carol Oates and John Updike and you think 'well, God bless them, but I don't know how they do it.' Most of the rest of us just wind up watching Oprah. I was roaming the neighborhood every day, lingering at the dog run with my dog. It was really bad. I just wasn't doing enough, and I feel like law school sort of gave me my voice back. When you have a lot to do, you get a lot done. At least that's how it's been for me.
If I had gotten to [Boies Schiller] a week earlier, I might have been thrown into the Wachovia situation. Think how exciting and interesting that is! I'd be energized by something like that, which would give me more energy to do other things. Basically, I'm really excited to work hard.
Sounds good, Elizabeth. Thanks again for taking the time.
Happy to.

The valuable input of students and colleagues has enabled the author to make many improvements to the first edition of this book, without, however, changing the main structure of the book. As a result, the second edition "Elasticity and Plasticity of Large deformations" still offers a careful introduction to modern non-linear mechanics. It presents in detail the used mathematical tools, such as tensor algebra and analysis. The general theory of mechanical behavior is particularized for the broad and important classes of elasticity and plasticity.

A single-vehicle crash Saturday, October 26, claimed the life of a Highland Home teenager.
The crash occurred at approximately 5:50 p.m. on Crenshaw County 59 in Highland Home. Sixteen-year-old Drew Alyiah Bradley, was injured when the 1995 Toyota she was driving left the roadway and overturned. Bradley, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected. She was transported to Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery, where she died Sunday, October 27th from her injuries.
Although the circumstances surrounding the crash are still under investigation, Alabama State Troopers say speed was a factor.
