To the editor:
Friends ask us, "Why Tupper Lake? And where is it?" They're shocked that we would give up our beautiful home of 16 years on the water in Provincetown, Mass., to come to a place where they fear gay people might not feel welcome. We tell them that we're ready for one last adventure and that we want to make a positive difference in the renewal of this charming lakeside community. We are bound to run into people who don't like or trust us because we're gay, but we feel that's their loss.
Ray and I have been together for 37 years, have lived in some of the most beautiful places in the country and been to many of the most talked-about places in the world. Some of our fondest memories, though, are from our time at my grandparents' simple camp on Pleasant Pond in Deerfield, N.H. We love the smell of pine needles, the taste of fresh water and the magic of bird and animal life. We also are very drawn by the honesty, decency and hard-working nature of small-town environments. We're particularly attracted to the stability of family, in whatever form it takes. Ray and I are both Midwesterners from families of seven children.
We're big supporters of the Adirondack Club and Resort, have donated money to the project, want to know how our talents can be best used, and are encouraging our friends to follow us to the Adirondacks to buy homes, start businesses and participate in Tupper Lake's Renaissance. I'm a corporate diversity trainer and author, and Ray is a retired investment banker. We're planning on having our family members and good friends, young and old, visit us here, see the potential for growth, and be as taken with the beauty of the people and the terrain as we are.
We have been welcomed by everyone we've met at the grocery store, hardware store and drug store since arriving. We've been included in a wonderful family Memorial Day cookout, have been treated to a boat tour of beautiful Saranac Lake and have been generously given a jar of delicious local honey. We've been here just a week, but we already feel at home. In answer to our friends' question, that's why we chose Tupper Lake.

NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio – City Council this week approved a final appropriations budget for 2014 that includes a 30 percent hike in health insurance premiums and two percent increases in wages.
The health insurance premium increase, which was based on unusually large claims last year, is increasing the city's total hospitalization costs from a little less than $2.9 million to about $3.7 million. The city maintains a self-insurance plan. The increased premium is for a stop-loss policy that picks up payments after an employee's claims exceed $100,000.
"We've had multiple years prior of really good claims experience, but every now and then you get one of these years," city Finance Director Carrie Copfer said. "We have an aging workforce."
The city's general liability insurance premium increased by 18 percent.
Despite the increased costs for wages and insurance, the city held the line on spending, city officials said. The general fund budget, which includes salaries and expenses for most city departments, including mayor, council, police, fire and public works, remains fairly stable at $21.4 million for 2014. That is compared to about $20 million the city spent in 2013.
Meanwhile, the total budgeted appropriations from all city
accounts decreased for 2014 compared to what was spent last year. The
city spent $85.6 million in 2013 from all funds combined. The city is only
budgeting about $74.9 million this year. The primary
reason is because the city incurred significant expenses last
year performing Ohio Environmental Protection Agency-mandated improvements to
the wastewater treatment plant, Copfer said.
The city spent $28.7 million from the sanitary sewer improvement fund in 2013 as compared to less than 19.2 million appropriated for this year.
In terms of total revenue, the city anticipates receiving $73.6 million for all funds. That compares to $85.5 million last year. The city appropriated about $1.3 million more than it anticipated bringing in for 2014 by relying on carryover funds, Copfer said.
"The city estimates resources conservatively and doesn't expend all its appropriations, so it always works out," Copfer said.
The reason for the fluctuation in revenue between 2013 and 2014 primarily has to do with bond proceeds and an EPA loan received in 2013, she said.
One bright note pointed out by the Mayor Kevin Kennedy is that the new mayor's court, which the city started last year to hear traffic and minor misdemeanor cases, should provide a net increase in revenues of $250,000 to the general fund.
City officials expect staffing to remain relatively constant in 2014.
"We are moving forward while working within our means," Kennedy said of the 2014 budget.
The city plans to save some money by reducing the number of wastewater treatment plant employees by three through retirements and transferring workers to other departments. The reduction is possible because of modernization to the plant. Two additional part-time employees may be added.

About the Internship Program
What is an Internship?
An internship is paid, unpaid or stipend – only opportunity for an undergraduate student to function in a typical "on-the-job" environment. The purpose to connect the world of work with the world of academia. The number of hours involved per week as well as the length of internship period will vary depending on the specific program. Generally, a student will work a minimum of 15 weeks and a minimum of 120 hours in the internship to receive three semester hours of credit.
Internship Objectives
The objectives are shared in a three-way partnership involving the student, Wilmington University and the agency providing the internship experience. The advantages to each partner are:
The Student:
- is immersed in a real-world work environment;
- has the opportunity to work on meaningful problems/projects;
- is engaged in problem solving activities;
- is exposed to the latest technologies;
- gains access to highly trained and motivated practitioners;
- applies classroom theory to current industry issues;
- makes a meaningful contribution to the agency;
- explores long-term career goals;
- obtains professional work experience which adds to the resume;
- has the ability to network with professionals.
Wilmington University:
- provides a student with the opportunity to apply skills and theories in a work environment;
- strengthens the relationship between the employer and the University;
- gains visibility and academic stature with participating agencies;
- develops increased credibility among students, faculty and staff;
- provides an opportunity for faculty professional enrichment and development;
- acquires an expanded graduate placement opportunity;
- gains technological information relative to current methods and equipment
The Employer:
- obtains a skilled, highly motivated and energetic worker to assist in achieving organizational objectives;
- increases productivity at a reduced cost;
- gains access to the expertise of the faculty and staff of Wilmington University;
- achieves quality-based recruitment goals at a reduced cost;
- gains increased credibility among industry peers;
- becomes known on campus through student and faculty communication channels;
- may influence curriculum changes and program decisions.
Academic Credit
Wilmington University will grant academic credit to a student who successfully completes the internship program. The student and the faculty advisor will agree upon the number of credits as well as the level (upper/lower) before the internship begins. The student must register for the course upon the internship coordinator approval and before the internship begins. Students will not be allowed to participate in "informal arrangements." The Structure of the program requires closes articulation between all parties and this is not possible where informal arrangements are allowed.
Student Selection
Internships are available only to undergraduate students. To qualify for an internship a student must exceed the standards found in the current Wilmington University catalog. In addition, prospective candidates must also demonstrate successful completion of specific courses relative to their intern assignment. The Program Coordinator/Division Chair prior to final selection will interview students.
Student Obligations
A student's responsibilities in an internship differ from those relating to a typical in-class experience. As a participant in an internship program a student:
- Must complete all stated application and documentation steps
- Is required to enroll in the appropriate course for the duration of the internship
- Must comply with all attendance requirements mutually agreed to by all parties
- Shall accomplish such tasks, projects and assignments as prescribed by the syllabus and the participating agency
- Will complete all reports as required by the institution and the participating agency
- Should remember that he/she has the responsibility to those interns who may follow and that he/she is in reality an ambassador representing Wilmington University.
Student Evaluation
Internships are graded pass/fail. A student's evaluation will be based on meeting all criteria mutually agreed upon by the student, the faculty advisor and the supervisor at the participating agency. The evaluation process may include written reports, oral presentation and appraisal data provided by the employer.
This information applies to students who enter this degree program during the 2016-2017 Academic Year. If you entered this degree program before the Fall 2016 semester, please refer to the academic catalog for the year you began your degree program.

Former Texans and Chargers offensive lineman Travis Johnson recently had some strong words for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo.
"When Tony Romo got to Dallas, he had everything around him and is a loser," said Johnson on CSN Houston.
He continued on to say, "Tony Romo has not earned a dollar he's been given in this league."
Johnson joined 105.3 The Fan's New School on Wednesday to clarify his stance on the controversial quarterback.
"It was all in good fun. To tell you the truth, I was knee-deep in a rant," said Johnson. "Do I apologize for it? No. But at the same time I think I had some points but I might have gone overboard on a few."
In his previous interview, Johnson also called Romo a "thief", saying he should be brought up on federal charges for stealing from the Cowboys.
He stopped short of calling him a "thief" on Wednesday, but still doesn't like the 6-year, $108 million extension Romo signed in March.
"The only thing I will retract is saying he didn't earn a dollar. His first contract was earned," said Johnson. "Do I think he deserved $100 million? No."
Johnson continues to place Texans quarterback Matt Schaub ahead of Romo, calling Schaub a "top-10" quarterback.
While Schaub is only 1-1 in the playoffs in six years with the Texans, Johnson credits Schaub with making the team around him better.
"When we got here, we had nothing. He's helped build this franchise to where it is now. You can only speak positive things about Matt Schaub."
Johnson stopped short of apologizing for his comments about Romo, but realizes he went a bit too far.
"I shouldn't have called him a loser, cause he's won some games," said Johnson. "Like I said, I'm not going to apologize for anything I said. That's one thing I will not do."

My work explores human stories and rituals implicit in everyday objects. I consciously draw from indigenous design principles, oral traditions, and personal experience to shape the inner logic of the work I make. My recent work explores the history of wool blankets. As I fold and stack blankets they begin to form columns that have references to linen closets architectural braces, memorials (Trajan); sculpture (Brancusi for one), the great totem poles of the Northwest and the conifer trees with which I grew up. These blanket forms also present themselves in other mediums of my work – such as with printmaking, bronze, and cedar. In the case of my wood cuts, I appreciate the warm tactile quality of the material. There is a familiarity and intimacy with wood that again reminds me of blankets. The material offers another layer of story that is physically and metaphorically woven into the work, like with cedar, which is considered to be a sacred natural resource for indigenous people of the Northwest or the hope chests in which blankets are stored.

Pat Monahan and his band Train are refusing to perform at the Boy Scouts Jamboree unless the Boy Scouts lift their ban on gay members. The "Marry Me" group was booked to perform at the July event in West Virginia with Carly Rae Jepsen, but a Change.org petition convinced them to cancel. Gay Eagle Scout Derek Nance urged Train to boycott the event and GLAAD threw their support behind the cause over the weekend. "When we booked this show for the Boy Scouts of America, we were not aware of any policy barring openly gay people from participation within the organization," the band said in a statement. "Train strongly opposes any kind of policy that questions the equality of any American citizen."

"Goodies" singer Ciara is back with a "Body Party." Her last two albums didn't reach the same success as her 2004 and 2006 releases, so she's digging back into the sexually charged material. "My body is your party, baby," the 27-year-old R&B artist moans on the new song. "Nobody's invited but you baby." The track, which samples Ghost Town DJs' 1996 hit "My Boo," is the third single from her upcoming album, "One Woman Army," due in June.

Less than an hour later, he told fans their feedback convinced him to drop his Guwop plans and continue to perform as Gucci Mane. The 33-year-old hip-hop star, known for songs like "Gucci Time" and "Freaky Gurl," is slated to release his next mixtape "Trap Back 2" this month.

She's out of his league? "Tropic Thunder" star Jay Baruchel has been dumped by his fiancee Alison Pill. The 27-year-old "Newsroom" actress called off the engagement and he confirmed the split after hinting at it on Twitter last month. "Alone again, naturally. Heartbroken," Baruchel, 30, tweeted. "I won't be on twitter for awhile gang. Getting dumped rules." A source said the long-distance relationship -- Baruchel preferred working and living in the couple's native country of Canada -- became too much after being engaged for two years. Pill appeared at a party for the second season of "The Newsroom" on Sunday without her ring.

Nicole Kidman has people talking. In fact, it seems like any mention of Lee Daniels' New Orleans-shot "The Paperboy" includes a reference to her daring turn as a trashy-as-can-be jailhouse floozy -- along with whisperings that it could bring an Oscar nomination.
Daring or not, though, it's not a typical role for Kidman -- and certainly not the kind of glamorous role one would normally associate with a Hollywood star of her stature. In one already-notorious scene, she urinates on co-star Zac Efron to ease the pain of a jellyfish sting. In another, she is brought to orgasm by the sight of an imprisoned John Cusack. And while shooting the film in New Orleans last year, she reportedly hit the streets herself to scour second-hand stores for her own costumes.
Certainly nobody said anything about any of that at movie-star school.
Oscar potential or not, what would possess her to take such a role? Talking to Variety recently after a New York Film Festival screening of Daniels' film, Kidman said that more than anything, these days she is aiming "to be free and open" in her career.
"I'm 45 years old, and as you get older, you get frightened in this day and age; there are so many opinions out there," she said. "I don't want to be running scared. I'd rather push through the next decades giving all I've got."
Locals can see her doing just that Thursday (Oct. 11) when "The Paperboy" screens at the Joy Theater on Canal Street as the opening-night film of the 2012 New Orleans Film Festival. Kidman's new take on her career tops today's Evening Edition, a regular rundown of recent Hollywood headlines from around the web:Deadline: "Silver Linings Playbook" wins audience award at Hampton's Film Festival. Why should you care? Because David O. Russell's buzz-generating film will play the New Orleans Film Festival on Sunday night -- giving you one more reason to go out and try to score what is becoming a hotter and hotter ticket at this week's festival.
The Hollywood Reporter: "Beasts of the Southern Wild" wins top prize at Reykjavik International Film Festival. Add another trophy to the growing collection of director Benh Zeitlin's Louisiana-shot indie drama, which was honored Saturday at the Reykjavik festival "for its spirit of storytelling, visual inventiveness and creative audacity, which marks Benh Zeitlin as a leading figure for the next generation of independent film artists."
Deadline: "Fifty Shades of Grey" film adaptation gets a writer. And the winner is: Kelly Marcel, who reportedly got the coveted gig based on the strength of her script for Disney's forthcoming "Saving Mr. Banks," inspired by Walt Disney's real-life efforts to get the movie rights to "Mary Poppins."
Indiewire: 72 countries throw hat in ring for foreign-language Oscar. The most well-known is still France's entry, "The Intouchables," but Indiewire lists them all here for your perusal.
EW.com: Judy Garland's "Wizard of Oz" dress up for auction. Experts expect the blue-and-white pinafore number to fetch a cool half-million dollars when it goes on the block next month. And if you plan on being in London in the next couple of weeks, the dress will be on display at the Stafford Hotel -- under the watchful gaze of a security detail that I have to believe will be made up of dozens of flying monkeys.
Moviefone: 25 things you didn't know about "Dr. No." That 1965 thriller holds the distinction, of course, of being the first James Bond feature film. With the release last week of Adele's theme song for the newest Bond adventure, "Skyfall," it's only appropriate to take a look back at the film that started it all.

Workers toting tool belts and ladders bustled about the lobby of the new Flagship Cinemas on Thursday, wrapping up the summer-long makeover of the dormant theater off Carlisle Pike and Sporting Hill Road in Hampden Township.
With Paul Wenger, a Flagship vice president who has overseen renovations, checking every detail in preparation for a township building inspection, the multiplex moved closer to next weekend's official opening.
Wenger said there may be shows as early as today, but Sept. 25 is the date that will appear in ads for the theater.
Six of the theater's eight screens and a new concession stand are ready. Renovations are nearly finished on two screening rooms that boast roomy, upholstered seats with built-in speakers that vibrate during on-screen explosions.
BACKGROUND: Last year, AMC closed its Hampden Centre 8 at the site, citing lackluster profits. The new multiplex will be the first Flagship Cinemas in Pennsylvania. Wenger said the company also operates theaters in Maryland, New England and Florida.

When selecting a platform for embedded machine control, the most important decision users make often is not hardwareit is software. With a productive software package, users can quickly build the first prototype and iterate on future design changes. Many machine builders use National Instruments LabVIEW to design their control and measurement systems because it provides both a powerful programming language and a graphical interface for programming and HMI. Machine builders who use NI LabVIEW have always had the choice of Windows-, Macintosh-, and Linux-based platforms; however, many applications now require the reliability of a real-time operating system.
National Instruments programmable automation controller (PAC) platforms, based on the LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA, use real-time operating systems and control on a chip. These systems are designed for applications requiring the combination of fast design iteration and advanced control, test, and reliability. With LabVIEW, users can select from four National Instruments PACs:
improves on an industrial PC with a real-time OS, standards for cooling, optional non-spinning solid-state hard drives, and intermodule synchronization. The PXI standard requires all chassis to provide air flow for 25W of cooling per module slot, which ensures operation without overheating or shortened life even when using high-power relay or high-speed PXI, or CompactPCI cards.
Compact FieldPoint
uses industrially rated parts to achieve high shock and vibration, handle a wide temperature range from -40 to 70C, and achieve Class 1 Division II and Lloyds certifications. It also uses conductive cooling to increase reliability by eliminating moving parts, and it incorporates PC functionality by using a floating-point processor running a real-time OS, Compact Flash drives for data logging, and an Ethernet port for communications.
Compact Vision System (CVS)
is a rugged controller designed specifically for machine vision applications. It uses IEEE Standard 1394 FireWire interfaces to communicate with up to 16 cameras in a vision application and run a high-speed Intel processor for fast image analysis. The Compact Vision System platform also uses no moving parts and conductive cooling, so users can mount the system close to the machine.
is a new platform based on LabVIEW FPGA and LabVIEW Real-Time technology. The CompactRIO system uses an FPGA chip with up to 3 million gates to control modular digital and analog I/O. The FPGA chip can run embedded code in silicon for digital control loops up to 1 MHz and analog loops up to 150 kHz. The FPGA can pass information back to a floating-point processor running LabVIEW Real-Time for advanced computation, data logging, and communication.

KALAMAZOO, MI – Here are five elements that could have an impact on the upcoming season for the Western Michigan University men's basketball team.
RELATED: Senior David Brown 'blessed' to be on the court, set on elevating Broncos' play
Head coach Steve Hawkins suggested that rebounding might be the most important statistic for the Broncos this season. WMU recorded 31.1 defensive rebounds per game last season, which was the lowest per-game average among all Mid-American Conference teams. WMU lost some size from last season as 6-foot-5 starting guard Brandon Pokley, forward Nate Hutcheson (6-7) and forward Darius Paul (6-9) are gone. David Brown (6-3), Tucker Haymond (6-5) and Connar Tava (6-5) will fill those respective spots. Shayne Whittington is the team's tallest player at 6-11, and is the only player taller than 6-9. He returns as the team's leading rebounder, grabbing an average of 8.8 boards per game last season. WMU next tallest players, Tava and Haymond, are both 6-5.
Hawkins, a defensive-minded coach, said it will take technique and effort to get the job done on the glass. "We have to rebound the ball," he said emphatically. "I'm always nervous about our standards, which are defense, rebounding and running. I don't think we're anywhere close to where we need to be with defense and rebounding. Those two areas really concern me."
Lockdown defender
Hutcheson was valuable on offense for the Broncos as a double-digit scorer (10.1 points per game), but he was invaluable on the other end of the court as the team's lockdown defender. At 6-7, Hutcheson could play four positions and was an asset in late-game situations. Hawkins said it will depend on the matchup, but Tava is emerging as Hutcheson's replacement as Mr. Defense. Hawkins said Tava can guard all five positions because of his 235-pound frame. If an opponent's late-game playmaker is a guard, Hawkins said Brown will likely get the matchup.
Mr. Hustle
This is another area that defines Hawkins-coached teams. Graduated senior Dan Loney filled the role of Mr. Hustle well during his time at WMU. Loney didn't produce big numbers, as he averaged almost two rebounds and one point per game as a senior, but he was very effective at spelling a big man without the Broncos losing much from a production standpoint. Asked who would fill the role as the player diving for every loose ball, boxing out for one last defensive rebound in the final seconds and keeping a possession alive on the offensive glass, Hawkins again pointed to Tava. "Connar chases down everything," Hawkins said. "He just keeps going and going. He's a tough kid physically and mentally."
Backup center
Whittington will be a force in the paint for the Broncos as arguably the best center in the MAC, but when he's not on the floor the Broncos will lose size and experience. Hawkins said there are options depending on opposing lineups. If a team features an athletic center WMU will likely turn to sophomore A.J. Avery (6-7, 205) or freshman Mario Matasovic (6-7, 215). If an opponent features a tall big man, like 7-5 center Sim Bhullar of New Mexico State, who WMU will see in the season opener in Hawaii on Nov. 9, Hawkins said he will turn to redshirt freshman Kellen McCormick, who is the third-biggest player on the team at 6-9, 220. Hawkins said the team will try to compensate any size deficiencies when a player like Avery spells Whittington by having the physically stronger Tava guard the opposing center and Avery guarding the opposing power forward.
Developing depth
Like every team, the Broncos will be looking for depth across the board. Redshirt freshman guard Von Washington has turned some heads heading into the season and could see the floor to relieve Brown or starting point guard Austin Richie. He likely won't play a lot of minutes, but his jump shot looks to be improved from last year and he seems to have a decent feel for the offense in practice. The Kalamazoo Central High School graduate might be the surprise player that adds a little extra depth this season. There is already some buzz building around freshman small forward Tucker Haymond, but having never played a game in college there is still an unknown about the Seattle native. Haymond does a lot of things well on the court, but it's yet to be seen which area he excels at. The production from sophomore point guard Jared Klein and forwards Avery, McCormick and Matasovic will also play a big role in this season's success.
Coach: Steve Hawkins (11th season, 181-145 record)
Last season: 22-13 (10-6, 1st place MAC West); lost to Ohio in MAC Tournament semifinals; lost to George Mason in CBI semifinals
Starters returning: 2 (Austin Richie, Jr., PG; Shayne Whittington, Sr., C)
Expected starters: Richie (6-2, 185, Jr., PG); David Brown (6-3, 210, Sr., SG); Tucker Haymond (6-5, 210, Fr., SF); Connar Tava (6-5, 235, So., PF); Whittington (6-11, 250, Sr., C)
Exhibition games: vs. Kalamazoo College (2 p.m. Saturday at University Arena); vs. Aquinas College (7 p.m. Monday at University Arena
Season opener: Nov. 9, vs. New Mexico State (Outriggers Hotel and Resorts Rainbow Classic, Honolulu, Hawaii).
Home opener: vs. Alabama A&M (2 p.m., Nov. 17)
Click here to view the complete schedule
Scouting report: WMU saw one of its better players transfer to a different school for the third consecutive year when forward Darius Paul departed for Illinois after last season. Whittington and Brown, the lone seniors, will be counted on for production and leadership. Although Richie seems comfortable at the point guard spot, he came to WMU with a scoring mentality. If sophomore Jared Klein can continue to devleop as a reliable point guard it could create more scoring opportunities for Richie and the Broncos, who lost three of their top five scorers last season in Paul and graduated seniors Brandon Pokley and Nate Hutcheson. WMU's starting five should match up well against most opposing starting lineups, but the Broncos are young on the bench and the production from guards Klein and Taylor Perry, and forwards A.J. Avery, Kellen McCormick and Mario Matasovic could play a big role in the team's success this season.

Project Runway's New features
Project Runway's New features
I'm here watching. I just missed the first few minutes of the pre-show. Some very interesting clothing made by the contestants, though I fear that many of the interesting ones will be weeded out because their methods and techniques are too labor-intensive and time-consuming. Some of the contestants are also very stubborn. One doesn't know how to use a sewing machine. Another two don't believe that they really, truly have to create a garment that's made mostly of the parachute material. One contestant said that the parachute material is too hard to sew with. Tim said politely that this is why they were given this material as a challenge.
The runway show should be interesting. I have a few favorites already, some because of their clothes and some because of their personalities, but I don't know how they will fare yet. It's great to have the show back!
ETA: Cripes, there's one guy who's choreographing his model to tell a story of war and anguish as she kind of lurches across the runway....this is going to be one heck of a show.
Olympia, I can't wait for the runway show...exciting. What do you think about them having their own budget??? The 2 that have caught my eye are: Bradon McDonald and Jeremy Brandrick. We'll talk later!!!
At this point, I'm sure we'll have a LOT to say. Someone is not completely covered. And then there's our friend the eco-conscious guy, who wouldn't let the hairstylist use "anything electrical" or any products with--well, any products at all, it seems. Luckily that girl is so stunning that she could proceed down the runway in a paper bag and look better than I ever looked in my entire life.
Did not agree with who got kicked off this week. It wasn't that the person wasn't lower, but not the worst.
I agree too, Heyang. I think they might have kept the other two bottom guys because their personalities will lead to sparks.
Dee, you called it well! Your favorite did a wonderful job. One of my faves, Sue Waller, also did well. I feared for her at first because she usually sews by hand and might not be able to keep up timewise (and indeed had to be helped with the machine), but her garment was stunning. She may be one of those original thinkers like Anya who really can deal with all the pressure and the weird assignments. I adore the silhouettes of her clothing that she showed at her audition: they were fitted but with interesting curves and structures, almost organic. I'd love to be able to make items like that. They're the kinds of articles that look good on a lot of people because they depend on beauty of line but aren't so revealing that you have to have a perfect body to wear them.
Interestingly, I was looking through a bunch of photos of Princess Diana from the early eighties, when shoulders and flounces were in (and some of those looks have dated badly). It's amazing how many of her more elaborate gowns had long sleeves. (Later, her clothes were more pared down.) I like the idea of more covered-up looks being elegant and even sexy. This might explain why I loved Christian Siriano's final runway show. It was mostly really exciting jackets and pants. Hey, I could have rocked those! (Well, not in any glamorous way....)
I agree, Layfan. To show her face without makeup, so that everyone knows that her real face that God gave her is that beautiful, could actually be a benefit to her. No one has to paint a face on her!
Two women in the public eye who were well-known for wearing no makeup at certain times were Ingrid Bergman at the start of her Hollywood career and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. They'd show up near the top of any list of gorgeous ladies, and they didn't owe a smidge of it to Max Factor or Cover Girl. This new young one, with her pre-Raphaelite hair and her Da Vinci face, should hold her head up and smile. The guy is a bit oblivious to life, but the model came out of it with some pretty good cred.
The dress that won was beautiful.
I liked that dress and the runner-up. It's amazing that this luridly colored fabric, which must be pure misery to sew with, can be made into real clothing. The winning dress had such a wonderful floaty quality, and the bodice was beautifully cut and shaped.
However, I'm happy in my role as amateur critic.
^ The cool thing about a playdoh snail is that you can use it to teach your child about the mathematical properties of the spiral!

text: I'm not breaking anything new ground here, but it's no secret that, for most of its seasons, Dancing with the Stars has been a popularity contest with the best dancer losing more often than winning (a big exception was Kristi Yamaguchi's Season 6 win). And with that in mind, it seemed like the judges went a little out of their way to make sure the best dancer did get to hoist the Mirror Ball trophy. This is okay, because after all, Dancing is supposed to be a contest where the best prevails, no matter how much the other dancers around them "grew." And there was little debate that the best pair in Season 10 was Nicole Scherzinger & Derek Hough, with the judges making the point to crown her "the best dancer ever on the show." And really, this was probably the best season (ironically for me) ever of Dancing, with Evan Lysacek & Anna Trebunskaya and Erin Andrews & Maksim Chmerkovskiy holding their own against what was basically a professional dancer. With Nicole & Derek and Erin & Maks tied atop the leader board after the first night's dances, with Evan only three points behind them, the couples were tasked with dancing their favorite dance of the season, with each couple choosing the Argentine Tango. Which was a great way to compare the three, and after seeing them in order, Nicole, Evan and then Erin, it's no surprise that the judges awarded Nicole & Derek the top score of "30," with Evan & Anna placing second with a "28" and Erin & Maks bringing up the rear with a "26" (this was the first "hint" of the judges influence on the final outcome: each dancer would be placed, first, second or third, with the appropriate score for each placing, instead of scoring each couple individually). By placing last, Erin & Maks had to know that they were a done deal, and after the first elimination, they indeed were dancing their last dance. But we also got some insight into these two as a real-life couple (still pretending that they're not a real couple) with their on-camera awkwardness when they go in for a kiss (on the cheek). You can totally tell they're thinking "when we do this off-camera, we totally end up making out like a couple of teenagers, but boy, on-camera, are we awkward or what?" Plus, I re-watched some of the couple's footage, post-vote off, and the way Erin was looking at Maks? Totally and completely in love with him. No doubt. So with these two lovebirds shuffled off-stage, only Nicole & Derek and Evan & Anna were left to dance their "knockout dance," with Nicole & Derek crushing their jive, picking up all "10's" and Len telling Nicole "that there are 12 days of Christmas, seven dwarves, and only one winner of Dancing With the Stars; it should be you." And Evan didn't even dance yet. Yikes, way to hurt some feelings Len! So I guess that was the second "hint" from the judges, with them dropping the third and final one by not giving Evan & Anna all "10's" for their equally amazing quickstep. With only a "28," Evan was now a Dancing finale record seven points behind leader Nicole, whose ultimate victory was rarely in doubt throughout the season. It was definitely an interesting Dancing finale because the show wasn't stuffed with filler, like the roast, DanceCenter, etc. So in the spirit of the finale, and probably because I'm a little burned out from my 3000 word Bachelorette treatise (really, 3000 words… on The Bachelorette), I'll leave off with a few observations from the night. Best Dressed has to go to Anna, in the knockout dance, for looking truly stunning. Brooke Burke almost picked up the award, for a dress that actually made her look like a woman full of sexy curves, instead of a matchstick with giant boobies, but the shoulder strap (and ultimately Anna's amazingness) were her undoing. Worst dressed? It has to go to Buzz Aldrin, for his "Liberace NASA Collection" jumpsuit. And I was shocked, SHOCKED, that they made him wear it throughout the rest of the show, after he came out for his dance. Kate Gosselin returned to once again inflict irreparable damage on both my eyes and mental state, dancing again to "Paparazzi." It was bad the first time I saw it, and the 100 times I've seen it in the clip segments since then, and it was actually worse this time because Tony inexplicably ripped off her skirt to reveal some hot pants. Boy shorts are some girl's enemies, that's for sure. Thankfully, the producers decided to, at the end of her "dance," raise Kate, via forklift, up to the Dancing rafters, where humorously, she stayed for the rest of the episode (really, that "broken" forklift should now be considered an American hero). In all honestly, what was that all about anyway? Fish-eye camera lens? Malfunctioning smoke machine? Even Kate seemingly realizing, by the look on her face, what a terrible idea this was? A message board poster summed it up better than I ever could: "Watching Kate Gosselin dance to 'I Will Survive' was one of the worst moments of my life. And I've had a horrible life." My life hasn't been that horrible, other than lately, but I feel your pain Message Board Poster… I feel your pain. Pam and Niecy performed a number that would've been better suited for Skinemax and Jake and Paris made their promised dance. Fortunately, Paris danced with Dmitry, and Jake danced with Chelsie, sparing the world certain destruction. Yes, the two ended up together, but I didn't notice as the only thing that was holding my attention was the fact that Paris looked like she was 50 years old. And with that, and with another season of The Bachelorette at hand, I look forward to Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars, starting September 20. Once I hear about the cast, I'll let you know my feelings right here!

"During a recent visit to Washington, D.C., I learned of statements attributed to you by a member of the United States Senate and the head of PhRMA that Novartis is 'pleased' with India's [intellectual-property] laws. Let me assure you this is not the case," Jimenez's letter reads. An aide to Sharma defended the nation's patent policies and responded that the minister had been referring to another drugmaker. The incident reflects the level of acrimony between India and international drugmakers over patents, according to this article.

I REFER to a recent letter by the leader of Wirral Council, Cllr Phil Davies, where he blames the Coalition Government for financial cuts.
It borders on disbelief that Cllr Davies has already forgotten, or maybe he is in denial, that it was the ineptitude and utter incompetence of the last Labour Government which has brought this country almost to its knees.
In his wisdom, what would Cllr Davies do when, on coming to power, he found the coffers completely empty, as was acknowledged by an outgoing Labour Cabinet member?
He is continually blaming Government cuts for this that and the other, yet he did not hesitate to spend enormous amount of money on redecorating council offices, money that should have been spent on needy people of Wirral.
Even unions are objecting to this shameful waste of resource at the time of austerity.
Stop whingeing, Cllr Davies.
Such necessary measures of austerity that have been taken will take years to fill the hole left behind by the last Labour Government.
Helena Kalicki, Pensby

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Bored of talking Browns? Looking to get a head start on this week's news?
The team of community reporters at Northeast Ohio Media Group has plenty of plays to run in the tail end of this election season.
We'll introduce you to the last set of candidates, plus give you lots more news. Here's what we're working on this week:
Brecksville City Council will meet at 5 p.m. Monday to hash out improvements to its police station, plans for the 185-acre Blossom Hill property – including a possible waterpark and field house, proposals for Stadium Drive and the future of the Community Center. Members will also talk about possible ways to the city could pay for all those big plans.
Reporter Chris Mosby will cover.
Mosby is also detailing the Independence City Council race. In what may well be the biggest election field in Northeast Ohio, 14 candidates are vying for seven seats. Read the story and then quiz yourself to see how many names you can remember.
Nearby, Seven Hills Mayor Richard Dell'Aquila has proposed the city's first-ever five-year capital improvement plan, comprised of $14 million in projects and equipment purchases. The mayor has said the primary focus during the first years of the plan will be $3.2 million in roadway improvements.
Across the county, Reporter Barb Galbincea will feature the Rocky River Community Garden, which provided about 300 pounds of food this year for a local food pantry. Students from Magnificat High School volunteered to plant and harvest the garden, which is closing up for the season this weekend.
In less healthy news, Campbell's Sweets -- which sells crazy-flavored popcorn as well as loads of chocolate-covered goodies -- is opening a new location in Lakewood on Election Day, Nov. 5. Reporter Bruce Geiselman checks out the store's plans and takes a few photos, hopefully of some mouth-wateringly yummy goodies.
On the East Side, Beachwood and University Heights are among local suburbs that banned talking while driving, at least on a handheld cell phone. Reporter Chanda Neely checks in with police chiefs to see exactly how many people have been cited for talking while driving.

Cape Breton native Scott Oake covering his 12th Olympics
SYDNEY — There's been a Cape Breton voice behind some of the biggest Olympic moments of the past four decades, and he's calling the races once again at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games.
Scott Oake
Scott Oake, a longtime CBC sports broadcaster who was born and raised in Sydney where his dad was a steelworker, is commentating and reporting on alpine skiing events in Sochi, Russia — 38 years after he covered his first Olympics in Montreal in 1976.
"It's an honour, that's for sure. You don't ever take anything like this for granted," said Oake, in a phone interview with the Cape Breton Post, from Russia. "It's the best athletes in the world gathered together for 16 days trying to win for themselves and for their country. Keeping track of our athletes — it's a thrill, always has been."
Oake's career in sports broadcasting began in the early 1970s while in university and included two summers working at CBC in St. John's, N.L., in radio and television. He was hired full time by the national broadcaster in 1974 and proceeded to drop out of Memorial University in St. John's.
"My father was pretty upset," recalled Oake. "He wanted what most fathers of that generation wanted, which was for their kids to do just a little bit better than them, and that included a university education. My father just passed away last month and I think he asked me up until about a month before he died when I was going to go back to school to finish my degree so I'd have something to fall back on."
A well-known personality in the hockey world as a reporter and host with CBC's "Hockey Night in Canada," Oake is also a familiar face on the Olympic scene having covered a range of sports in both summer and winter Olympics, including wrestling, hockey, swimming, rowing, diving, boxing and alpine skiing.
"These are my 12th Olympics and I've done skiing at every Winter Olympics that I've been to, going back to Calgary in 1988, so I can say with some authority, I guess, that the downhill is kind of the jewel of the alpine portion of the Olympics," he said just hours after he called the men's downhill event, won by Austria's Matthias Mayer. "There's always tremendous anticipation over it and it's the race that the big skiing countries like Austria and others really want to win, and, of course, so do the Canadians."
For these Olympics, Oake is based about 50 kilometres outside of Sochi at the Rosa Khutor Alpine Resort near Krasnaya Polyana, and he is once again working alongside Kerrin Lee-Gartner, an Olympic gold medallist in the downhill in 1992.
Oake said the venue for the alpine events is spectacular.
"It's designed in a way that the downhills, the super-Gs, and the slaloms are right beside each other and they all have the same finish line, stadium finish. It really is stunning," he said.
The Sochi Games haven't been without their issues, from the fact that some hotels and rooms are unfinished — Oake said he is fortunate to have nice, completed accommodations — and widespread concern about the security of these Olympics.
"Certainly coming here I was, like everybody else, concerned — nervous might be the best way to put it," said Oake. "I thought coming here it might end up looking like an armed camp but it hasn't been that. They've done a pretty good job of letting you know that there's security there but it's not oppressive."
As for Canada's medal hopes, Oake said the country is in good hands as Canadian athletes have a real shot at medals in many team and individual events.
"I like the fact that we're now coming to Games expecting to be one of the leading nations. We're not satisfied anymore with just a couple of medals," he said.

Ranking The SEC Coaches For 2014
Sumlin has chalked up plays efficiently everywhere he's been. Since his OC days at Oklahoma and then becoming a head coach for the first time at Houston, Sumlin has always had a productive quarterback. Case Keenum was his signal caller in Houston, and Keenum still stands as the NCAA's all-time leader in total passing yards, touchdowns and completions. We all know the job Sumlin recently did with recently drafted 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.
Sustaining success is crucial, especially in the SEC, but with the ability to have Texas recruiting, one would think Sumlin will continue to field offensive talent.
Richt is a solid coach and fifth best in the conference seems a bit low, but this tells you the depth of the SEC. Richt was one play away from playing for the national championship before losing to Alabama in the 2012 SEC Championship Game, something that has eluded Richt during his time in Athens. Nonetheless, Richt is the owner of the 2002 and 2005 SEC championships.
The playoff era may benefit Richt for finally playing for it all. He certainly would have played for a shot at a national title in 2002 and 2007 if the College Football Playoff was around then.

Report: Mich. school safety laws routinely ignored
March 12, 2013
LANSING (AP) — Michigan laws meant to improve safety at schools are routinely ignored and state officials don't know the scope of the problem, according to the results of a two-month investigation......
they're ignored because they're next to useless. how often do you hear of kids having trouble exiting a school because a fire? NEVER! if you in a school on fire you can bet it will be nothing like the drill. it's not going to be single file out the door. it's going to be kids running like madmen to get out. tornados and such, you're probably better off getting in your car and driving away if it's coming at you. those lockers and cement walls are not going to save you. for tornadoes i cant believe they dont bring kids in the basement. glad i dont send my kids to these trash public schools in this escanaba dump. btw, half the teachers are garbage as well, and far from qualified for their job.

For more than thirty years, Alain de Benoist has methodically undertaken a work of analysis and reflection in the world of ideas. Writer, journalist, essayist, lecturer and philosopher, he has published more than fifty books and three thousand articles which have been translated into a dozen different languages.
His central concerns are political philosophy and intellectual history, but he has also written numerous works dealing with archaeology, popular traditions, the history of religions, and the life sciences.
Indifferent to contemporary ideological models or fashions, and rejecting all forms of intolerance and extremism, Alain de Benoist also rejects any « restorationist » nostalgia. When he criticizes modernity, it is less in the name of an idealized past than a preoccupation with postmodern concerns. His thought focuses on four principal themes: 1) The interrelated critique of individualism, universalism and nationalism (or ethnocentrism) as different forms of the same « metaphysics of subjectivity »; 2) The systematic deconstruction of market-minded reason, the conceptual basis of self-interest, as well as the multiple influences of Capital, whose global reach constitutes, in his eyes, the primary threat weighing on the world today; 3) The struggle to sustain local autonomy, linked to the defense of differences and collective identities; and 4) The clear preference for integral federalism, based on the principle of subsidiarity and the practical need for extending participatory democracy.
Although his work is known and recognized in many countries, Alain de Benoist remains largely ostracized in France, where too often his name has been summarily reduced to that of the so-called New Right, a category in which he has never truly recognized himself.
This site hopes to make his thought better known to a broader audience.

Democrats in the Hawaii House plan to meet with Gov. Neil Abercrombie and the state attorney general to discuss a draft of gay marriage legislation as Abercrombie considers whether to call a special session on the issue.
A House spokeswoman said Thursday the meeting is scheduled for Friday morning at the state Capitol.
The meeting comes more than a week after Abercrombie publicly released an 18-page draft of legislation that would allow marriage licenses to be issued starting Oct. 3 and ceremonies to begin Nov. 1.
Also Thursday, several dozen Hawaii businesses endorsed the legislation, including Waikiki hotel operator Aqua Resorts and several wedding-related businesses.
Abercrombie has not firmly said whether a special session will be called. The regular legislative session begins in January.
