KOCHVILLE TOWNSHIP, MI — A new public health initiative catered to low-income citizens in Saginaw County dealing with multiple health issues will begin soon.
Saginaw Pathways to Better Health will kick off Feb. 4, 2013. The program will combine healthcare providers and social service agencies in hopes of improving healthcare throughout the region. Using a one-one-one approach, the initiative hopes to connect healthcare professionals with patients who have chronic illnesses to provide them with specific goals.
"The people we're serving have a much higher incidence of higher death rates from obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney and heart disease," said Chief Executive Officer of the Michigan Health Information Alliance Kim Morley. "They're also more likely to use the emergency room as their primary point of care, and not get care until their conditions are very serious.
"That's one of the things that strains the healthcare system and makes it more expensive," Morley said. "More proactive management of their disease not only improves the quality of their care, but lowers the cost of it as well."
The program will be funded by a Healthcare Innovations grant from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The three-year, $14 million grant will use a hub model and will coordinate Saginaw, Muskegon and Ingham counties. Of that money, $3.6 million will be coming to Saginaw County, where Covenant HealthCare, St. Mary's of Michigan and Health Delivery Inc. will serve as care coordination agencies. Twelve jobs will also be created because of the program, with plans of adding 25 positions within three years.
"This is for people with two or more chronic healthcare conditions, that's the threshold for entrance into the program," said Sandra M. Lindsey, chief executive officer of the Saginaw Community Mental Health Authority. "One of the other huge expectations of the grant is the identification, training, supervision and deployment of a new work force to support the energy and fill the gaps in health care delivery."
To become eligible for the program, prospective patients must be enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid or have two or more chronic illnesses. Those include cancer, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiovascular disease.
In 2009, for Saginaw County and the state, the top 10 causes of death were heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke, unintentional injuries, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease, kidney disease, pneumonia/influenza and suicide.

European IT Investment Lacks Ambition
European countries must come up with more ambitious plans to exploit IT - including more use of broadband - if they are to close the economic growth gap on the US.
In its first progress report on i2010 - the digital economy element of the European Union's strategy for growth and jobs - the European Commission warns that member states need to increase access to broadband, make it easier to circulate digital content around Europe and modernise public services.
Radio spectrum should be freed up for new applications, while more spending on IT and communications research, along with more cross-border competition in the telecom sector, will also help lift the competitive performance of the European economy, it said.
EU commissioner for information society and media Viviane Reding said Europe continues to lag behind its competitors in IT research - investing about half as much as the US. IT and communications are contributing less to European productivity growth than they did 10 years ago, she warned.
Reding said in a statement: "Only through stronger investment in ICT research and effective cross-border competition will we ensure that the great potential of ICT is used to lift our competitive performance across the economy."
Economic growth in the EU is forecast to be around two per cent in 2006 - below the annual GDP growth of 2.7 per cent in the US. The Commission argues that IT can help fill the gap - but that governments aren't acting quickly enough.
The report warned: "The EU needs to shift up a gear if we are not to see a slowdown in the transition to the knowledge economy."

Typhoon highlights weak Philippine infrastructure
MANILA, Philippines -- Under a reforming president, the Philippines emerged as a rising economic star in Asia, but the trail of death and destruction left by Typhoon Haiyan has highlighted a key weakness: fragile and patchy infrastructure after decades of neglect and corruption.
Authorities fear that the storm that tore through the country's east killed thousands. Low rates of insurance in the Philippines mean the disaster is likely to sap government finances.
Haiyan's devastation, however, underlines the pressing need to spend more money to build hard assets such as more roads, ports and power lines -- not only to improve living standards but also to better withstand the storms, earthquakes and other natural disasters that strike the country with numbing regularity.
The Philippines, the world's 13th largest country with a population of 96 million, has the lowest percentage of paved roads when compared with neighbors Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore, according to data compiled by foreign business groups in the Philippines in 2010. It also had the worst scores in other key indicators such as fixed phone lines, households with power and electricity lost in transmission.
The Philippines is the country that's most at risk to natural hazards, according to U.K.-based risk analysis firm Maplecroft.

A routine traffic stop on Interstate 84 turned deadly in an instant in August, confounding police and those who watched the shocking video of the encounter.
John V. Allen died after pulling a gun and opening fire on Oregon State Police Trooper Matt Zistel. The trooper, now injured, returned fire, hitting Allen in the chest. Allen died a short time later after driving away from the scene. Zistel recovered from his wound and returned to duty.
Records and interviews portray Allen as a troubled man. He had documented outbursts before, including with a knife, and his mental stability had been listed as doubtful by police in Portland.
He was determined to return to South Carolina and convince the military to take him back. He also was determined to protect the pride of his life – the three children with him in the car that day last summer.

Michigan knocked off Ohio State, 56-51, at Crisler Center to give Michigan State sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. Both the Buckeyes and Wolverines are one game back heading into the season's final two weeks.
"It was a physical game. It was a very well-coached game," Green said. "I think (Michigan) did a pretty good job on (Jared) Sullinger and then did a good job on William Buford, and Aaron Craft got into foul trouble.
"You have to give a lot of credit to Michigan. They stepped up and rose to the occasion."
If Green received any joy from watching the rival Wolverines win, it's that Michigan State now controls its path to a conference championship.
"At this point, we don't have to worry about what Michigan is doing. We don't have to worry about what Ohio State is doing," said Green, whose team travels to Minnesota on Wednesday night. "We have to focus on what Michigan State is doing."
Spartans coach Tom Izzo also had high praise for the Wolverines, who jumped to No. 11 in the latest Associated Press poll Monday.
"They've had a hell of a year, too," Izzo said. "They played very well the other night. And I think there's no question that they've done a great job with that team."
Michigan and Ohio State both return to the court Tuesday, with the Wolverines playing at Northwestern in the first of three road games remaining on their schedule.
The Buckeyes host a reeling Illinois team that just got blown out 80-57 by Nebraska on Saturday.

Opposing playoff QBs Brees, Foles have much history
PHILADELPHIA -- Ten years after Drew Brees led Westlake High School to the Texas state championship, Nick Foles came along and broke many of his passing records but couldn't deliver another title for the Austin-based school.
The two quarterbacks go head-to-head for the first time in the NFL with more at stake when Brees and the New Orleans Saints (11-5) visit Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles (10-6) in an NFC wild-card playoff game tonight.
"Drew is a tremendous player. He's a guy that I've looked up to," Foles said. "He's a great role model for fellow players, kids and adults. I know Westlake is really proud."
Brees watched Foles play once in high school when he returned in 2006 for the 10-year reunion of the Chapparals' 1996 championship team. Foles led Westlake to the state championship game that year, only to lose to Southlake Carroll 43-29.
The players hadn't met each other until the Eagles played at New Orleans last year. Foles was Michael Vick's backup then.
"I heard a lot about him when he was at Westlake, but there was a 10-year age difference," Brees said. "I followed his career. He has been pretty impressive for such a young player, mature beyond his years. I wouldn't say that I am all that surprised because he is a Westlake guy. He has played great."
Brees went to Purdue after Westlake, was drafted by San Diego and ended up in New Orleans, where he's established himself as one of the NFL's all-time best quarterbacks. Brees is an eight-time Pro Bowl pick who just threw for 5,000 yards for the fourth time in his career. No other QB has ever done it more than once.
Brees led the Saints to a Super Bowl victory over Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in February 2010. He'll be trying to help them win their first playoff game on the road in six tries when they meet the Eagles.
Foles started six games as a rookie last year for a 4-12 team. He began this season as a backup, but took over after Vick was injured and had a remarkable year. He was 8-2 as a starter, helping the Eagles rebound from a 1-3 start to win the NFC East. Foles led the NFL with the third-highest passer rating (119.2) in league history, threw 27 touchdown passes and only two interceptions.
"It is amazing," Brees said. "It's extremely impressive. Those are pretty unprecedented numbers, especially for a guy who's in his first year as a starter. I'm very happy for his success, obviously not just for the fact we're from the same high school and I kind of know the road he's traveled."
Of course, Brees will be facing Philadelphia's defense and vice versa. The Eagles allowed the most yards passing in the NFL this season. Meanwhile, the Saints gave up the second-fewest yards passing.
- Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano does not want today's playoff game to change the routine, so he is imploring the Colts to make this business as usual -- even with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town for a wild-card game.
Last year, just before their wild-card game at Baltimore, Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians was hospitalized. Indy managed only three field goals in a 24-9 loss as a bunch of Colts made their postseason debuts; Arians turned out to be OK and wound up getting hired by the Cardinals.
But the Colts' youngsters learned some key lessons.
Now, it's the Chiefs' turn.
Coach Andy Reid and new general manager John Dorsey followed the same plan Pagano and Ryan Grigson used to rebuild the Colts. Kansas City, like the Colts, went from 2-14 to 11-5 and back to the playoffs with nearly two dozen first- or second-year guys.
A few of the playoff veterans now find themselves explaining to teammates what to expect today.
"I'm going in my second time, becoming a vet, 27 years old, I really want this, I really want to go far," AFC rushing champ Jamaal Charles said.
Former Colts coach Tony Dungy usually told players something else -- most playoff games are lost rather than won and the teams that fare best stick to the plan. Translation: Trying to do too much will only get you and your teammates in trouble.
Many of Dungy's pupils, including NFL sacks champs Robert Mathis, still abide by that philosophy. Mathis has spent the last two Januarys telling teammates all they really have to do is match their opponents' intensity, pay attention to the details, do their jobs and trust teammates to do theirs -- the same approach Indy has used all season. But when it comes from the mouth of someone who has played in Super Bowls and won one, the words carry more clout.
"You can be too loose to where you're overconfident, arrogant. But you can be too tight to where you're wound up and you can't play football that way," Mathis said. "You have to have fun. This is a kid's game so you have to approach it as such. Have fun. Just do what you got here. That's what I always tell my young guys. Do what got you here and you'll be all right."
Exhibit 1 came in the last playoff meeting between these teams.
Back in January 2007, Indy's heavily maligned run defense faced one of the most feared rushers in football, Larry Johnson. Instead of being run over, Mathis & Co. limited Johnson to 32 yards on 13 carries, won 23-8 and a month later won the Super Bowl in rainy Miami.
The trick is finding the right balance when the stakes are so high.
"Nine years, three postseason appearances. You're very fortunate when you get here," Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. "My message to the young guys is you have to take advantage of this. You never know when you'll get back. It's not the time to play uptight. It's the time to go all out."

It's ok. It applies well and evenly. I like the container/applicator. I found the color Starburst too light for my medium/tan complexion. It faded quite easily like any gloss. Once faded, my lips became dry and feathered into several dry pieces all over my lips. I tried reapplying and it was a disaster. I would not purchase again especially for the price. Sorry.

The recent announcements from Calvin College president Gaylen Byker and Hope College president Dr. James Bultman that they are retiring at the end of the 2011-12 academic year indeed is cause for a celebration.
It's not because the final buzzer is sounding on each of their careers.
The truth is both have had such a huge impact on the student-athletes, coaches, administrators, alumni and fans on their respective NCAA Division III campuses that it requires a standing ovation. Each has left an indelible imprint on the athletic program at his institution.
So let's recap their legacies.
Each has guided his school through a golden era of athletic facilities upgrades.
It also resulted in construction of the softball field and press box and cross country course, which are part of the Gainey Athletic Complex on the east side of the campus, as well as Strikwerda Tennis Center, featuring six outdoor tennis courts adjacent to the north end of the Spoelhof Fieldhouse Complex.
Bultman, 69, the 11th president at Hope College, is responsible for leading an initial $105 million capital campaign that brought in $161 million and resulted in the construction of the spectacular $22 million DeVos Fieldhouse, which hosted the D-III Final Four in women's basketball in 2008 and 2009 and is set to host the same postseason tournament in 2012 and 2013, as well as the women's volleyball finals in 2012 and 2013.
In addition, Van Andel Soccer Stadium, Boeve Baseball Stadium and Wolters Softball Stadium were constructed on Bultman's watch. Pending projects at an approximate cost of $30 million -- through private fund-raising initiatives spearheaded by the president -- include an outdoor tennis stadium and an upgraded facility for track and field. There also are discussions taking place with the city of Holland to make significant improvements to Holland Municipal Stadium for home football games in the future at Hope.
Eight teams and 11 individuals have claimed D-III national championships in the Byker era at Calvin, including men's basketball (2000), women's cross country (1998-99), men's cross country (2000, 2003-04, 2006) and volleyball (2010). There have been 12 other teams that achieved national runner-up finishes.
Hope has captured the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Commissioner's Cup recognizing the top overall athletic department in its league for 11 consecutive years and all but the first year of his presidency. In that same time, the school has won a team national championship in women's basketball (2006), claimed four individual national titles and led the nation in home attendance in men's and women's basketball and volleyball numerous times.
In their overlapping tenures of Byker (16 years) and Bultman (12 years), the Calvin-Hope rivalry has never been stronger. Or more intense. Or more passionate. Or more respectful. Or friendlier.
Faciliites and accomplishments are fine.
The real measure of both gentlemen in terms of their impact on athletics, however, is best measured in their unflinching belief that D-III student-athletes achieve the proper balance in life on and off the field.
"I think we've shown at Calvin and Hope you can be an athlete and not sacrifice the academic experience," Byker said.
"I hope that my time has been helpful in keeping sport in proper perspective," Bultman added. "I really appreciate the philosophy of Division III sport. I think students play sports for the love of it at this level."
At each institution, athletics has prospered under their guidance.
It should come as no surprise since both men understand the importance of the student-athlete experience. Byker, a 1973 Calvin graduate, participated on the wrestling team, while Bultman, a 1963 Hope graduate, played football and baseball and later coached the baseball team (1971-85) and served as an assistant football coach (1970-84).
Those are proud legacies at both schools.
A big round of applause for both of them.

The Tuesday-nighters at Bluefin appear to be a force of foodie nature. Many restaurants crawl through this usually quiet weeknight restraining a yawn. But the regulars pour into this modest little Japanese BYOB in Plymouth Meeting with such steady and unrelenting force, the room threatens to erupt in spontaneous sushi combustion.
There are the raucous book-club ladies in the corner, downing edamame and colorful maki rolls as they discuss Eat Drink Pray. A pair of moms set up their full bar - big bottle of premium vodka, cranberry juice, shaker and martini glasses - while the teenage daughters debate whether to order the Davitch roll (salmon around crunchy spicy tuna) or the Rosnov (tuna over spicy veggies).

The summary below is from the full reports titled "Management of Venous Thromboembolism: A Clinical Practice Guideline from the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Family Physicians" and "Management of Venous Thromboembolism: A Systematic Review for a Practice Guideline." They are in the 6 February 2007 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 146, pages 204-210 and pages 211-222). The first report was written by V. Snow, A. Qaseem, P. Barry, E.R. Hornbake, J.E. Rodnick, T. Tobolic, B. Ireland, J.B. Segal, E.B. Bass, K.B. Weiss, L. Green, D.K. Owens, and the Joint American College of Physicians/American Academy of Family Physicians Panel on Deep Venous Thrombosis/Pulmonary Embolism; the second report was written by J.B. Segal, M.B. Streiff, L.V. Hofmann, K. Thornton, and E.B. Bass.
The American College of Physicians (ACP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) developed these recommendations.
In venous thromboembolism (VTE), blood clots form in veins. The clots often form in leg veins, a condition called deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Pieces of these leg clots can break off and travel to the lungs, a serious condition called pulmonary embolism. Blood thinners (anticoagulants) are the main treatment for VTE. Several options are available. Fractionated heparin must be given through a small tube placed into a vein (intravenous catheter) and requires blood tests and dosage adjustments at least daily. Warfarin is an anticoagulant that comes in pill form, but it requires testing and dose changes every few days to weeks. Low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) are given by injection under the skin and do not require testing and dosage adjustments. These same drugs also treat pulmonary embolism. Compression or support stockings may help prevent chronic leg pain and swelling after DVT. Given the several options for treatment, clear recommendations would be useful.
The authors reviewed published studies about VTE treatment.
Good-quality studies showed that LMWH for DVT results in better outcomes and fewer bleeding complications than unfractionated heparin. For pulmonary embolism, LMWH is at least as good as unfractionated heparin. Using LMWH in patients' homes saves money and is at least as safe as hospital treatment for patients with appropriate support at home. Two high-quality studies that examined the use of compression stockings within 1 month of DVT showed that their use reduced chronic leg problems after DVT. Although pregnancy is an important risk factor for DVT, careful comparisons of different treatments in pregnant women are unavailable. The authors found good-quality studies about the length of VTE treatment that suggested that 3- to 6-month treatment is sufficient for a first episode of VTE in a patient without ongoing risk factors. Studies suggest that treatment after 2 or more episodes of VTE should continue for at least 12 months, perhaps longer.
Doctors should use LMWH instead of unfractionated heparin to treat DVT. Either form is appropriate for pulmonary embolism.
If patients have adequate support at home, doctors should consider treating DVT (and possibly pulmonary embolism) with LMWH without hospitalization.
Patients should use compression stockings for at least 1 year after DVT diagnosis.
Little evidence is available to guide the treatment of VTE in pregnant women. However, warfarin and other oral blood thinners can be harmful between the 6th and 12th week of pregnancy.
After a first DVT, treatment should continue for 3 to 6 months unless risk factors for clots persist. After 2 or more VTE episodes, treatment should continue for at least 12 months and possibly longer.
LMWH is effective and safe to use in the long-term treatment of VTE, especially in patients with cancer.
Doctors may modify treatment for specific patients.

Susquenita's move from the Mid-Penn Conference into the Tri-Valley League starting in 2014 is all but a done deal, and already the talk has begun as to what the conference will do with its football schedule.
I've got a suggestion: punt.
There are 10 football teams in the TVL without Susquenita, but three of those are holdovers from the Twin Valley Conference days. They all play in District 11, well east of most of the TVL schools.
Maybe it's time to cut the strings and let them go.
Yes, it's a convenience to athletic directors when they don't have to make a schedule because the league their team is in can fill it - and with no change other than the addition of Susquenita, the TVL would have a full slate of 10 games without any non-league action.
But football is supposed to be about competition, historical ties and rivalries. Williams Valley, Tri-Valley and Pine Grove don't exactly fit those descriptions when it comes to Juniata and especially East Juniata, which spent very little time in the Twin Valley after the TVL got out of the football business two decades past.
There's also the distance factor, which is more than relevant in a time when schools need to control costs - especially in a school district where the teams are paying their own way. Williams Valley is the closest to the two Juniata County schools - roughly 120 miles round trip - while Pine Grove represents a round-trip drive of more than 150 miles from either of them. When you're sending two or three buses, that's a lot of scratch.
The assumption is that the TVL will split into divisions, with those three schools on one side and the two Juniatas - along with Newport and newcomer Susquenita, all west of the Susquehanna - on the other. That leaves four schools - Halifax, Line Mountain, Millersburg and Upper Dauphin - to split between the two.
Except you can't really split up the three Dauphin County schools, all of which are backyard rivals. So now you almost have to put them in with the District 11 schools, and Line Mountain - somewhat of an odd man out - ends up in the western group.
So Juniata and East Juniata are in a division with four league games apiece; the other schools have five. Sure, you can play an interdivisional schedule - but is it the best decision?
If you cut the three distant schools - who are not members of the Tri-Valley League in any other sport, even though its reformation at the beginning of the current two-year cycle was as an all-sports conference - you have eight football members, which provides for seven league games and three non-league games.
Which is pretty much par for the course.
There are arguments against this, to be fair - chief among them another widespread belief, that the two Juniata County football programs will become one, taking another team out of the league. But that's assuming facts not in evidence, and one thing that's for sure is the willingness of football supporters at both East Juniata and Midd-West to keep their program intact.
And there's always the possibility another, closer school will bolt its conference for the TVL - Susquenita is the second team to announce its departure from the venerable Mid-Penn this year. Of course, it's also possible someone will leave the TVL.
Meantime, a few more out-of-conference dates can only help our two local schools. Juniata needs to see a few District 6 teams if it wants to find success on its postseason road. And East Juniata can only benefit from more meetings with its former All-American Football Conference foes - most notably Columbia-Montour Vo-tech - if it wants the points and the record to make the District 4 field.
It's always nice to see loyalty in sports, like the move the TVL made in giving those three teams a place to play when they had no say over the realignment of the conference. But that loyalty shouldn't be at the expense of the league's core schools.

Project Runway All Stars Blog
Gordana's Exit Interview
It was sad to see Gordana (or Sweet G as... only I call her) Gehlhausen leave us after Episode 3's Miss Piggy challenge. The designer and mother (who used her exit interview on last week's ep to encourage women of all ages to never forget their passions and dreams), has come a long way since we first fell in love with her feminine fashions and incredibly caring demeanor on Season 6 of "Project Runway." Calling from "sunny California," Gordana spoke with me about her experience on "Project Runway All Stars," including the scary moment we didn't see on TV.
Lisa: During the challenge you were saying your children were into Miss Piggy growing up, did that have any input on the challenge?
The funny thing is, I don't know Miss Piggy at all because I grew up in a Communist country so we didn't have Miss Piggy! When my children were watching it, I never paid attention. So when the challenge came along instead of "what would I like to see Miss Piggy in?" because I didn't have that relationship so it was a little bit tough for me, I wanted to create something that a girl who might be watching would say, "Oh, this is so pretty!"
Thinking back to your first time on the show, a lot of "Project Runway" fans thought that you got robbed on Season 6 when you were cut right before Fashion Week. Did you feel that way with your experience on "All Stars"?
The reason why I decided to do "All Stars" was because of the first season of "Project Runway" and not being able to show, I thought, well maybe this is my chance for redemption. It is what it is, you know? You have to go into it with an open mind and you never know what can happen. I was so physically drained, that the biggest challenge for me was that I would have to take breaks non-stop and was just exhausted.
Funny you mention I was looking through the photos from the episode and I saw pictures from Episode 1 that showed you fainting (and Rami and Elisa coming to your rescue) on the runway that didn't make it to the episode.
Maybe I'm happy it didn't air because there are a lot of people who care about me, I didn't want to scare them, you know? So its fine, but I read some comments and people were like, "Oh, Gordana looks like someone punched her in the face" and stuff and I'm like, "You don't know what's going on there!" In the building the producers chose to film in, they shut off the AC on weekends who would think the AC would be shut off? You can imagine how hot it was in there as if the challenge wasn't enough for me, oh my God!
The next day I was looking at these blue marks all over me and I'm like, "When did I hit myself?" but it was when the people picked me up [after fainting]. I didn't even know it was Rami, I just felt this strong hand and I remember hearing the voice saying, "Don't worry, you are in good hands, you are fine, everybody loves you, we are all here for you.â€ù It was Elisa, I found out. In these kind of situations you really see what humans are made of and that's what the most touching part of the experience is, seeing how they all came together. And I didn't even know these people, they were just there for the first episode and I walk away from it having such a tremendous respect and love for all of them.
At the very end of the episode, you said something about women going back to work and following their dreams. Can you kind of expand a little more on that for the fans?
It's really expected a lot of woman today are really conflicted, a lot of women give up their life, their careers to give the best environment to their children. And then [the children] move on, they go to their own lives and the woman stays behind, [wondering] what am I going to do with myself, you know? I've had people comment and come into my store, saying "I admire you so much, in your age, you're pursuing your passion!" And that's the message I want, don't be afraid of judging, don't be afraid of what anybody's going to think about something! As long as you find the passion in what you really want to do, even if it's something that always was in the back of your mind but you never did it because you thought, oh it's so too complicated and I'm not really good, if you follow it with your heart, I'm telling you, it's going to be wonderful. When you do something out of love, the energy that comes in between that doing and you is just so beautiful that nothing can stop you. And that's what I want to tell people: it's never too late.
People come to me asking for business advice because surprisingly, I'm one of the successful ones from "Project Runway." I have my own business that's thriving. In February, I'm actually opening in another location in Santa Monica. And I'm on local television teaching "how to's" every week. Last week, I was showing how to go to a closet, take faded shirts and make them beautiful [with dying]. My life is full, I love people around me, people come to me or my shop, I'm so approachable. Would I like to be longer on the show? Of course but it's not the end of the world.
Do you think your positivity was your secret weapon on the show? I felt like you were portrayed as such a wonderful person #&151; we really saw that you were sweet, you were the voice of reason, you helped out the other contestants.
There is no secret, you just go in there with an open heart and who you are and the weapon is you and whatever comes out of it. I remember, even in Season 6, Tim Gunn would come to me and say, "Gordana, I see you helping everybody and that's what I love about you but on the other hand, this is a competition." I'm not a competitive person and I know that about myself, I'm more like, "what can I do for you?" I also remember telling Tim, at that time I was 44, I was like, "Tim, I am older and have established who I am as a human being and I'm not going to change for a show." But staying who you are, at the end of the day is really the biggest challenge of everyone. When you love yourself and what you represent, then you end up loving everything and everyone around you.
Who would you love to see win?
I have such a love and respect for every one of them but I want to say, I hope that the ride is smooth enough for them and whoever wins at the end, I'm so tremendously happy for them.
You don't have a favorite or someone's clothes that you would love to wear?
Even if you have a favorite designer, you don't necessarily end up loving every one of their designs. And that's with all of them. There are aspects of all of them that I like and would wear. And it doesn't mean I would wear every piece they created, you know? I actually like Mila's designs, I like the clean lines that she does, but then I also like Kara's and Mondo's and Michael's? Michael and I have been doing a lot of stuff together because we make clothes. All of them are really good and really talented.

The psychology of Perfume snagged me as I read. I think that's what really hooks one in to this rather short read; it plays on sense of self while carrying its readers off into the darkened chill of absence, lack, mania.
All in all, it was very interesting and disturbing. Which is probably what every other review of this book says.
I haven't watched the movie and I'm sure if I ever get around to it I'll end up comparing it back to the book as readers are wont to do. There certainly might be something interesting there, experiencing a book about a pariah who is driven to murder because of a sense he lacks in two different senses by reading the book (sight) and watching a movie (sight hearing).
Suskind definitely abounds in his ability to layer scent within his character and his writing.
I am going to give this book... 3.5 stars.
I read it years ago and some of the passages have really stuck with me, but the rest of it is a little bit muddled?
I felt that it was a little bit slow in parts but it definitely gathered pace towards the end and it had an ending that I was actually really, really pleased with. I thought it dovetailed very neatly and I was really impressed.
So I think this book made a big impression on me at the end but overall it wasn't really a book I'd read again, although I would recommend it. The writing is really interesting in parts and the plot itself is a very interesting concept. c:
Eh, not for me, I don't think. I was expecting a creepy tale but it just didn't engage me. The writing was okay, but nothing special, and it just didn't grab me. I also accidentally spoiled the ending for myself which sounds utterly bizarre and doesn't make me feel like continuing at all. I might give it another go some time - it's not like I hated it - but I have so much other reading material at the moment that I don't feel inspired to continue with things I'm not too keen on.
Also, what was with the use of ellipses? They were everywhere and I found them really distracting.
I realized I've never added a review for this book. I'll keep it short and sweet:
When I red the book Perfume by Patrick Suskind I found it really interesting. It's about a baby being born, left behind in a pile of fish guts unwanted by the mother. He was named Jean Baptiste Grenouille.
The story began when Grenouille screamed when he was born advocating for himself that he was among the fish guts where his mother gave birth and abandoned him. The mother was put to death for her cruel abandonment of him and four other children before him….After that no one wanted to look after him. No one knew he was born with a gift of extra-smelling sensations….. He was first placed with a wet-nurse who after three weeks gave him to Father Terrier in the village because she claimed that there was something wrong with him as he did not smell like a baby. As she didn't know than was that his body had no odor but the child could distinct smells for miles around….The Father didn't want to take care of him either so he brought Grenouille to Madame Gaillard's home for orphans. When he turned eight years old she also did not want him around any longer because she thought that the devil was inside him. She than took and sold Grenouille to Monsieur Grimal a tanner to work as a laborer.….
As he grew older he discovered how unique his sense of smell was. He however, didn't have complete control of his profound gift that led him to commit his first unknown murder. As he struggled with his desire for an authentic beautiful aroma he dreamed of creating an scent for himself so people would know he was among them and would look up to him…..
Soon there was someone else who noticed Grenouille's keen smelling traits. Mr. Balini who was a perfumer losing his sense of smell and falling behind other well known perfumer's needed the boy. He was not of age yet so Mr. Balini went in search for the boy's guardian. With no problem at all, Grenouille was bought and now worked for the perfumer and glover, Mr. Balini. Which at this time was good for Grenouille because he was in the right place to create the aroma he was looking for without anyone knowing. Then one day he came to another stage in his life and put his need to create this special aroma in the back of his mind and moved on……
As Grenouille grows older he would like nothing more than get as far away from people, places and things. So, he heads out on his own. He travels for miles until he could not smell any odors of any kind. He found himself alone on a high mountain seeing nothing as far as the eye could see. This is what he thought he wanted. He lived in a cave on the side of the mountain for a few years. There was no vegetation or food fit for a human to live on. He did find a smooth area on a rock that gave him water to lap up when he was thirsty. As far as food he ate bodies of dead bats from the cave and other insects he could find. He was no longer consuming any human eatables. Once again he came to another stage in his life where he decided to move on to civilization……
When he got back people were afraid of him. They couldn't tell if he was human or not. His hair and beard was down to his knees and his clothes were very few and ragged. He told a wild story about someone kidnapping him and how they placed him in a hole and kept him there for seven years……
Once he was settled he went around looking for a job. He was hired by a lady who needed someone who could keep her in business flowing with other competitor perfumer's. Just the job that Grenouille was wanting. His obsession had come back. He wanted to create that perfect scent. As he tried more and more variations of mixes he still couldn't manufacture what he wanted. Then one day it came to him how to made the perfect scent. He would need the body odor from only young virgin girls. This is when he randomly took one young girl at a time and murder them and got what he needed from their bodies to create the fragrance he wanted. He had taken twelve beautiful young girls lives. The city was locked down. They were afraid and feared for all their daughters. Grenouille was almost done creating his scent to splash on himself so people would look up to him and notice he was human. He saved this one perfect girl for last. Then suddenly his last victim was taken away by her father to make sure her life was spared…..
Grenouille was going mad. He needed the girl to finish his special scent. He went looking for her. With his magnificent gift of smell he located her miles away. Her father had her hidden away and believed she was safe. Glenouille waited untill the father was fast asleep and got a ladder and climbed up to the room the daughter slept in. With no sound at all he crushed her skull and prepared her body. He rolled her up in animal skin for the odors he needed. As he waited six hours for the odor and skin of the young girl to seep into the animal skin he cut off her hair and set it aside. When enough time passed he unrolled the animal skin and pulled it aside with pieces of her skin still attached, delicate harmony of her scent and tossed her hair on it and wrapped it in a ball to carry under his arm on his journey back to the workshop. He had no feelings for her and just left her there unclothed in the middle of the bed……
Her father arose that morning and unlocked his daughter door to wake her knowing she was safely asleep in bed. To his horror she was dead. He took her body home for burial and determined to find her killer. It wasn't long before he came across some information leading him to the shelter of Glenouille…..from there Glenouille was arrested and pleaded guilty….However, the story goes on in a bizarre manner…..It was a good book to read. And there is more to be read by the next reader who picks up this book….amazing…..
Just as Grenouille can manufacture a perfume that infallibly conjures up the same response in anyone who senses it, so Mr. Suskind creates words that provide a satisfying illusion of another time. Grenouille the perfumer becomes a kind of novelist, creating phantom objects in the air, but Mr. Suskind himself is a perfumer of language. This is a remarkable debut.
A delight to the senses, disturbing serial killer, must read!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0375725849, Paperback)An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind's classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man's indulgence in his greatest passion—his sense of smell—leads to murder.
In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift-an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille's genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and frest-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the "ultimate perfume"—the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brillance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.
Translated from the German by John E. Woods.

Follows an odorless baby found orphaned in Paris in 1738 as he grows into a monster obsessed with his perfect sense of smell and a desire to capture, by any means, the ultimate scent that will make him human.

To say our local teams made a splash in Tri-Valley League boys soccer action this year would be an understatement.
From the league hail TVL and District 4 champion East Juniata, and District 3 champion Greenwood. For East Juniata, it was the fourth year in a row to win both titles. Both teams also made a run in the state tournament.
From the individual players' standpoint, the local boys also made a great showing in the TVL all-star list. Fifteen of the 23 all-star spots were filled by players from either East Juniata, Greenwood or Juniata. East Juniata's senior Spencer Reinford was named most valuable player.
"He had a great year for us, no question," East Juniata coach Don Troutman said of Reinford.
Reinford was a versatile player - able to play both offensive and defensive positions - and this proved an irreplaceable asset to the Tigers.
"I think the fact that we could move Spencer from the back to the front definitely was a huge plus for us. The versatility that he provided and his ball skills up top made him dangerous. He passed the ball well when he was double-teamed, so that made him dangerous too," Troutman said.
Reinford ended the season with 10 goals and four assists - an impressive feat for an athlete who spent at least half of his time on defense - and he was also part of the East Juniata defense which only allowed four goals in fourteen TVL games.
Bailey Coder and Hunter Gingrich, both voted first-team, were the other two players who helped anchor the Tigers' defense.
"Bailey was just a foundation back there," Troutman said, citing Coder's excellent communication on the field as one asset he brought to the team.
Gingrich, the last athlete in the back, also brought his own skill set to the field. Like Reinford, Gingrich could play on either defense or offense, and when he was moved upfield he had a kick to be reckoned with.
"Hunter has probably the hardest shot that I've seen in a high school young man," Troutman said. "He can strike the ball with tremendous strength with his left foot."
Up the field for the Tigers, Landon Sheaffer took first-team striker, Devin Goodling and Ben Auker took first-team midfielders and Nick Lorenz rounded it out for East Juniata with second-team midfielder.
Sheaffer led his team in TVL scoring with 19 goals, and with both he and Goodling, if they weren't scoring goals themselves, they were setting up someone else.
"They understand the game so well, they see the field so well," Troutman said of the two.
Auker and Lorenz were also strong forces on the pitch.
"We basically controlled the midfield this season every game because of Nick and Benny (Ben Auker)," Troutman said.
Of East Juniata's seven all-stars, all but Lorenz and Coder were seniors, and Troutman couldn't have been more complimentary of the way this year's graduating class performed not only this season, but for the past four year.
"It's hard to put into words what that group of seniors provided, but I think that the four district championships says a whole lot," he said. "The stability that they brought, particularly in their junior and senior year, was just something that helped us maintain the level of play that we had throughout those four years."
Troutman said Reinford, Sheaffer and Goodling plan to play in college. Gingrich and Auker are also possibilities.
In Perry County, TVL second-place team Greenwood also had a strong presence on the all-star list. Sporting six all-star selections, Greenwood led the TVL in scoring - outpacing East Juniata 96-79 - and with its 5-2 loss to Mountain View in the seminfinals of the state tournament, made it farther into the state bracket than any other TVL team.
Leading the way for Greenwood was senior Josh Ferguson.
At first-team striker, Ferguson had an outstanding year, setting both school and league records with his 35 goals.
Ferguson was complimented by second-team striker Jarrett Fortenbaugh. A formidable duo, Ferguson and Fortenbaugh had great scoring potential, and this year Fortenbaugh set the TVL record for assists with 24.
"That duo worked very well together," Greenwood coach Tom Magill said. "I know a number of assists that Jarrett got were to Josh."
Magill also pointed out that these records were set during this year's 14-game rotation, verses the 16-game TVL schedule of years past.
On the defensive end, Greenwood also had a first-team selection in keeper Ryan Kerstetter, whose 36 saves to 6 goals allowed in league action placed him among the best of the TVL.
"He was a good leader for us, and a good example for the younger kids," Magill said.
Rounding out Greenwood's all-star selections were second-team backs Roy Miller and Scott Kerstetter, and second-team midfielder Alex Potter.
Magill said Scott Kerstetter's speed, which allowed him to break up a lot of plays, and Miller's hard-nosed style of defense made the two seniors a great team in the back.
"We'll be missing those guys and their hard-nosed defending."
Potter, another senior, will also be missed for his resiliency on the field, and a throw in which could wreak havoc on the other team.
"For a guy who's not really that big, he had a great throw in. And that created problems for the other teams sometimes," Magill said.
Reflecting on this year's team of all-star seniors, which included everyone but Fortenbaugh, Magill mentioned how much the class would be missed.
"We scored more than 100 goals (counting the post-season) for the first time in our soccer history, so this group is obviously going to be missed not only from a leadership standpoint, but from a skills standpoint. They set the bar high."
Closing it out for the local TVL all-stars are two juniors from Juniata. Jose Lopez made second-team midfielder, and his 10 goals for the season placed him within the top ten scorers in the league.
Lopez was accompanied by teammate Nick Gilbert, who also made second-team midfielder.
With one more year ahead, both Gilbert and Lopez can be expected to be key players in Juniata's efforts during the 2013 season.

—Buck Frank
Player: Miriam Heidler, Altoona
Opponent: Norwin
Date: Saturday, March 15, 1980
Site: IUP Memorial Field House
Setting the scene: Altoona, with a starting lineup of four juniors and one sophomore, faced a 28-2 Norwin team in the PIAA Class AAA Western quarterfinals.
The shot: Trailing 60-58 with 20 seconds remaining, Heidler inbounded the ball to Judy McNellis, who passed to leading-scorer Lisa Fubio, left of the key. Heidler worked off a screen and received the pass from Fubio, scored and was fouled. After she converted the free throw with 12 seconds remaining and Norwin missed two final attempts, the Lady Lions prevailed, 61-60.
Mirror excerpt from Monday, March 17, 1980: To the Altoona fan, the game with "everything'' ended on a spine-tingling note. — Neil Rudel
(To view the entire original article of this game, go to altoonamirror.com.)
—Heidler: "All week long, prior to the game, Pittsburgh papers were unkind to the Lady Lions, calling us the 'farm girls' from Altoona and hinted that the game was going to be a romp.''
—Art Taneyhill, coach: "Norwin had used a zone defense the whole game, but when we were taking the ball out of bounds, they were in a man-to-man. I yelled out, 'special.' This was a play we put in in the summertime, practiced all year but had never used it in a game. I had told the girls this play would someday win us a big game, and the play worked.''
—Heidler: "Norwin called a timeout to let me think about the ensuing foul shot. Art was kneeling in front of us with the look of utter resolve on his face. Poised, he just kept pointing his finger at each one of us and repeated, 'After Miriam makes this shot, we're all getting back on defense into our zone.' I fed off his confidence.''
Aftermath: Altoona lost to Shaler, 39-36, in the Western semifinals, but the win over Norwin could be considered as the starting point of the booming era of girls basketball in Blair County in the 1980s and '90s. Heidler, now Miriam Colledge, is an English teacher at Roosevelt Junior High. She and her husband, Mike, have three sons.

The Ogle County citizens have a choice. On March 18, voters will choose one of three candidates to be our sheriff for the next 4 years. In my opinion, there's only one that has the administrative, budget management, and police education, along with more than 30 years of police work.
I know he and his wife lived in Mount Morris after serving about 9 years as a military policeman. During this time, he worked for the Ogle County sheriff as a patrol deputy, K-9 handler and detective. He went on to better himself at the Rock Valley Police Department. He's been chief of police there for 18 years.
He's a certified instructor in many fields of police work. At present, he has been very busy training school faculty in Ogle County and surrounding counties in the Active Shooter program. This pertains to responding to a person at a school with the intent of doing bodily harm. He has education on terrorism and firearms instruction.
There are many more fields too long to mention. Check out his Facebook page and website for more information. Vote for experience, fairness and transparency. Vote Joe Drought for sheriff on March 18.

The 20YY Future of Warfare Initiative is an ambitious, multi-year project to examine how emerging technologies will shape the future of warfare. Rapid advances in unmanned systems, robotics, data processing, autonomy, networking, and other enabling technologies have the potential to spur an entirely new warfighting regime. State and non-state actors alike will seek to exploit these and other new technologies, many of which are driven by commercial sector innovation in information technology. The U.S. military will need to develop new concepts of operation, doctrine, training, policies, and organizational structures to exploit these technologies and stay ahead in the emerging warfighting regime. These developments may occur in the next decade or later, hence "20YY."
Download the latest report, "Robotics on the Battlefield Part II: The Coming Swarm
The 20YY Future of Warfare Initiative will focus on publishing groundbreaking research and growing the community of interest on these issues. 20YY aims to deliver practical, actionable recommendations to policy makers today to help prepare the U.S. military for the challenges and opportunities these technologies will present in the years to come.
In February 2014, Paul Scharre, fellow and project director for the 20YY Future of Warfare Initiative, discussed Autonomous Technologies at the Chatham House, London.
On June 11, 2014, Mr. Scharre also presented on the 20YY Future Warfare Initiative during the CNAS Eighth Annual National Security Conference. USNI News covered his presentation and new report.
