News Limited group publications aim for the highest editorial and ethical standards.
Editorial employees and contributors should be open-minded, be fair and respect the truth.
To this end, all staff need to be familiar with the policy detailed in the following pages, to follow the rules they contain, and to apply their underlying principles.d Weekly Times Editorial Code of Conduct
1. Accuracy
1.1 Facts must be reported impartially, accurately and with integrity.
1.2 Publications should take reasonable steps to ensure reports are accurate, fair and balanced.
1.3Clear distinction must be made between fact, conjecture, comment and opinion.
1.4 Try always to tell all sides of the story in any kind of dispute. Every effort must be made to contact all relevant parties.
1.5 Do not knowingly withhold or suppress essential facts.
1.6 Journalists should not rely on only one source. Be careful not to recycle an error from one reference source to another.
1.7 Direct quotations should not be altered except to delete offensive language, protect against defamation, or to make minor changes for clarity.
1.8Headlines and captions must reflect the tone and content of the article
1.9 Reports of new drugs or medical treatments must be considered with great caution. It is easy to raise false hopes or alarm among readers.
1.10 Information sourced from social media must be verified and checked for accuracy before publication on any platform.
1.11 Editors must be informed of photographs sourced from social media sites.
1.12Images prepared for publication must meet the guidelines of the Photographic Enhancement and Manipulation policy, outlined below in Section 18.
2. Mistakes
2.1 Serious factual errors should be corrected at the first opportunity, subject to legal advice where appropriate, and corrections should be given due prominence. Individuals or organisations that have been criticised in News group publications should be given a fair opportunity to respond.
2.2 News Limited supports self regulation in the newspaper industry and participates in the activities of the Australian Press Council. Editors must publish prominently and promptly all Council adjudications on complaints by the public in respect of their newspapers.
2.3 All mastheads must publish prominent and permanent details in print and online that advise how to contact the publisher re concerns about content; how to contact the Council; how to access the standards of News Limited and of the Council. As well, all publications must publish a permanent column/section in print and online that deals with corrections and readers' right of response.
3. Misrepresentation
3.1 Do not use false names when representing a News Limited publication.
3.2 Do not try to get information or photographs by deception.
4. Privacy
4.1 All individuals, including public figures, have a right to privacy. Journalists have no general right to report the private behaviour of public figures unless public interest issues arise. The right to privacy diminishes when the suitability of public figures to hold office or perform their duties is under scrutiny and such scrutiny is in the public interest.
4.2 Unless it is in the public interest to do so, do not identify the family or friends of people accused of, or convicted of, a crime.
4.3 The publication of sensitive personal information — such as taxation details, Family Court records and health and welfare matters — may be prohibited by legislation. Seek legal advice.
4.4 Private investigators will not be contracted to provide editorial services without the approval of the group editorial director.
4.5 Private investigators conducting work on behalf of the company will be required to comply with our editorial code of conduct and provide a written assurance that they will not engage in unlawful surveillance.
5. Covert activities
5.1 Journalists and photographers may at times have to operate to expose crime, significantly anti-social conduct, public deception or some other matter in the public interest. All such operations must be approved in advance by the divisional head and the group editorial director. This approval will be given only where good cause exists to suspect crime or deception has taken place, and after all other means of gathering the facts have been exhausted. The group editorial director must be satisfied that the importance of publishing the information sought outweighs any damage to trust and credibility which your newspaper might suffer by allowing employees to operate surreptitiously.Where appropriate, the nature and reasons for operating covertly should be disclosed to readers.
5.2 Rules surrounding permission to tape telephone conversations differ between states. Seek specific legal advice as pertains to your state before taping any conversations. Be aware that approval must be sought if recording is to be used as audio in any online capacity.
6. Confidential sources
6.1 The sources of information must be identified, wherever possible. When an informant insists on anonymity, verification of the information offered must be sought from other, preferably attributable, sources.
6.2 A promise of confidentiality to a source must, of course, be honoured. However, journalists must be aware of the possible consequences. For example, a judge may order the source to be identified. Defiance of this order could lead to conviction for contempt of court, with the consequence of being imprisoned or being sanctioned with a heavy fine.
7. Harassment
7.1 Do not harass or try to intimidate people when seeking information or photographs.
7.2 Do not photograph people on their property without their consent unless the public interest in doing so is clear.
7.3 If asked to leave private property, do so promptly.
7.4 Do not persist in telephoning, pursuing, questioning, door-stopping or obstructing access after you have been asked by an authorised person to stop.
8. Discrimination
8.1 Do not make pejorative reference to a person's race, nationality, colour, religion, marital status, sex, sexual preferences, age, or physical or mental capacity. No details of a person's race, nationality, colour, religion, marital status, sex, sexual preferences, age, or physical or mental incapacity should be included in a report unless they are relevant.
9. Grief and distress
9.1 Reporters and photographers must always behave with sensitivity and courtesy toward the public, and in particular towards those involved in tragic events. No one should be put under pressure to be photographed or interviewed. Initial approaches might best be made through friends or relatives. We should respect the wishes of the bereaved or grieving.
9.2 Do not go into non-public areas of hospitals, welfare institutions, funeral parlours, churches, etc, without identifying yourself or without permission of the people affected or their intermediaries, subject to the conditions of covert activity outlined above.

10.3 Do not approach children in schools without the permission of a school authority.
11. Suicide
11.1 Do not reveal graphic details of a suspected suicide. Avoid making judgements about the method of death which suggest suicide is an acceptable means of resolving problems, particularly among young people.
11.2 Do not report details of method and location of a suicide unless the public interest in doing so clearly outweighs the risk, if any, of causing further suicides.
11.3 Do not sensationalise, glamorise or trivialise suicides.
11.4 Adopt special sensitivity and moderation in gathering and reporting news to mitigate harm or hurt to all of those affected by suicide or attempted suicide, including the person themselves and their family.
11.5 Where possible, include in such reports the contact number of support groups where people with problems may seek help.
12. Illegal drugs
12.1 Do not report recipes for drug manufacture details of distribution or descriptions of the use of other harmful substances unless justified by public safety considerations or at the request of authorities.
13. Weapons and threats
13.1 Do not report threats to use bombs or other weapons or threats of extortion unless public safety justifies it, orwhen the authorities request you to do so, or when it is necessary to explain public disruption caused by the authorities' reaction to such a threat.
13.2 Do not report details of the manufacture or methods of using explosives, ammunition, firearms, fireworks, crossbows, booby traps or any potentially lethal device.
14. Payment for information
14.1 Payment must not be made for interviews or information. In the event that a demand for payment or other form of reward or compensation is made, agreement must not be given without the group editorial director's approval.
14.2 The same principle applies to payments to criminals and their families and associates, witnesses in criminal proceedings and their families and associates.

Django Reinhardt, everyone's favorite gypsy jazz guitarist, would have celebrated a birthday today. Check him out in this French/Italian film, La Route du bonheur (or Saluti baci e), a year before he died.
Or, if you prefer the cartoon Django from The Triplets of Belleville...
The Frenchmen all prefer what they call "le jazz hot." Formidable!

Members of the Nanakuli community held a vigil on Sunday night to remember a man recently killed at a Leeward beach.
The North Carolina man was taking pictures when his life was suddenly cut short.
A group of people gathered at the same park, where Christopher Reuther, 34, was fatally punched, police said.
Less Schnabel Jr. struck Reuther in an unprovoked attack, according to court documents. A witness told KITV that Schnabel was upset that Reuther took his picture without asking.
People came from different parts of the island on Sunday night to pay their respects to a man many of them had never met.
Reuther was in Hawaii to attend a University of Hawaii Law School orientation.
"He stood out in an extremely competitive application process, and so we were very much looking forward to having him as a part of our class," UH Law School professor Jon Van Dyke said.
Pastor Allen Cardines led the service in remembering Ruether and reminding people that the incident does not make them who they are.
"In light of this bad and tragic incident that happened here at Zablan (Beach Park), I think that something good came out of this -- that the united stand together," Cardines said.
Schnabel's mother also attended the service. Cardines said a private prayer for the Schnabel family.
Schnabel remains in custody. He has been charged with manslaughter.

Rocky Mountain Headache
Well, that sucked. Oh sorry, in case you missed it, the Phillies fell just short by a score of 4-5 in Game 2 against the Rockies today. They will head to Colorado with a 1-1 series tie, which is not great news. The weather forecast in Denver is calling for sleet, snow and freezing temperatures. If you follow the Phillies, you know how they perform in cold weather; not good.
So now instead of a Rocky mountain high, we all have a Rocky mountain headache. Cole Hamels started the game for the Phillies and…just a second…I will not say bad things about Cole Hamels, I will not say bad things about Cole Hamels, I will not say bad things about Cole Hamels…ok, maybe I just cannot help myself. What the heck, Cole?? Well, he was not awful, but he was not good either. 4 runs allowed in 5 innings is not what you expect from the reigning World Series MVP.
But Hamels has not been himself all year, and you have to ask yourself now, can he be counted on going forward if the Phillies advance this post-season? Granted, there were extenuating circumstances today, with his wife's pregnancy running late. In fact, Hamels is at the hospital right now; Heidi went into labor sometime during the game and he left before the game ended. But then again, he has not been consistent all year.
Two other starters were wasted in this game as well. Joe Blanton pitched just over an inning in relief and would up costing the Phillies a run. And then in a very odd move, manager Charlie Manuel put in our other starter, JA Happ to clean up Blanton's mess in the 7th. On the first batter Happ faced, he was drilled in the knee with a hit ball and had to leave the game to have X-rays. Luckily, nothing is broken, but how long have we now lost Happ for remains to be seen. Plus, the only option to start on Saturday now is Pedro Martinez, who is not a sure thing after suffering a neck / upper rib injury in September.
Why Manuel did not lean on our well rested and experienced bullpen to begin with is beyond comprehension. He risked 2 of our best starters and it back fired.
The offense struggled in this game and did not score until the 6th inning. Shane Victorino had 3 hits, but was unable to pull another one out in the 9th with 2 outs and 2 runners on. Raul Ibanez and Ryan Howard had 2 hits each, but no hits and just 1 walk out of 5 bench players hurt. Jayson Werth hit a solo homer in the 8th to bring the team within 1 run and that was the end of the scoring.
It is not impossible for the Phillies to win in chilly Colorado, but it is not going to be easy. I do hope they pack and dress accordingly:
And I do wish Cole and his wife Heidi all the best with the labor and their new baby, whenever he or she arrives. Cole, you make me nuts, but I still love ya ;O)

Sometimes we just wish we could've not played baseball on some days. Today is a perfect example. Good luck in the rest of the series, the picture of the coat and skis is hilarious!! ROTFL!! : ) You brought me to tears Jenn. Hey I am doing a new thing called Fan's take on my blog. Please email me a stumping question and I will try to answer it. : ) Thanks.
Congrats to Cole and his wife! I hope all goes well with the delivery! And the Phillies better pack their long johns! I heard it will 32 degrees at the start of the game! Yikes! It was an exciting game today – not the result you wanted – but a great game.
That was a tough game… they almost came back. How come nobody could get on in front of Werth's Blast???
I can only guess that Uncle Charlie was afraid to use the bullpen, even if they were rested. But, come on, both Blanton and Happ??? And in the same inning. I can only say that someone needs to take a catscan of his brain to find out what he was thinking when he brought in Happ_y. God, this is maddenly. And now, they go to Denver, with all kinds of bad weather being called for, and with Martinez, who is not exactly a good pitcher in Coors Field as the starter. No, I'm not going to panic, yet, but, to paraphrase Peg Bundy, 'Say Thanks to Cole,
Phillies Fans.' Gee Thanks, Cole!!!
Snow is expected for Saturday! I'll be working the game, so I think everyone will bring some warm clothes. Not only is the weather going to be crazy, but, and not to brag, the Rockies have been ridiculous good at home. Did you make that picture of Jayson Werth? (That is Werth… right?) Because it's kind of amazing.
Emily – yes, I made the photo…it is a picture I took of Werth and then I photoshopped the winter stuff over it :O) Glad you liked it :O) Stay warm out there!
At least we are okay on the road and stand just as much of a chance as if we were at home…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
That is a bit unconventional to use two starters.
Good luck to Cole and Heidi but I think that his unborn child must have took away some of his concentration. How could it not? That was unfortunate.
Good luck to your Phillies in that cold cold place. Ugh.
Rain, sleet and the occasional snowflake sounds like an interesting way to watch a ballgame.
Almost reminds me of a place in 2008 where the cold, bitter rain seemed to harden your arteries more than the food in the concession stands.
It should be an interesting game more for the fact it will be played right after the sun goes down and the temps will start to head south.
But you got to admit, no matter what the weather will be tomorrow night, both teams know this is the spot where this thing can turn for either team, and hopefully can be played out without a interruption by Mother Nature.

When you're planning a summer vacation, it's important to make out a budget. Too many consumers fail to plan their spending and, when they return, are faced with more debt.
But having the right credit card can help. It can help you not only save money, but actually get some money back.
Odysseas Papadimitriou, CEO of CardHub, breaks down summer travel cards into three categories; those that have good initial reward bonuses, those that have good ongoing rewards programs and those that have the best 0% financing offers. The right card can add up to actual money.
"Consumers, by signing up for the right offer, can get $400 statement credit or $500 toward travel expenses by spending what they would normally spend on their credit card during the first three months," Papadimitriou said.
Real money
Take the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, for example. By spending at least $3,000 during the first three months your account is open will give you a 40,000-point rewards bonus, which can be redeemed for $500 in travel accommodations booked through Chase's Ultimate Rewards program or a $400 statement credit.
That's right. Instead of stockpiling those airline miles that you never seem to be able to use, you can trade them in for cash.
"It doesn't get much better than that," Papadimitriou said.
The Chase Sapphire card does not charge an annual fee the first year but there's a $95 fee each year after that.
Another solid choice is the Barclaycard Arrival World MasterCard. Spend just $1,000 during the first 90 days to claim the card's 40,000-mile rewards bonus, which is redeemable for a $400 statement credit you can use to pay any travel-related charge. It also waives its $89 annual fee the first year.
Hilton HHonors Surpass Credit Card and the Club Carlson Premier Rewards Card also provide general upfront bonuses. With the latter you get 50,000 bonus points with your first purchase and 35,000 additional points for spending at least $2,500 within 90 days. Those 85,000 points can get you up to 18 free hotel nights, depending on the category of hotel you select and the number of consecutive nights you book.
Long-term value
Other cards, like the Capital OneVenture Card, can provide long-term value. It offers the miles equivalent of 2% cash back across all purchases as long as you redeem them for travel-related purchases.
Also in that category, the Blue Cash Preferred from American Express offers 6% cash back on groceries, 3% on gas and department store purchases, and 1% on everything else, making it a great card for everyday spending as well as road trips. It carries a $75 annual fee but you get a $150 initial rewards bonus for spending at least $1,000 during the first three months.
If you think that you might need several months to pay for your summer vacation, putting everything on a 0% interest card might save some money. Among the most attractive cards in this category, Papadimitriou says, is the Slate Card from Chase. Transferring existing debt to this card before using it to pay for your trip offers two distinct advantages. There's no balance transfer fee and it comes with a 15-month interest-free introductory period.
"I'm a big fan of the Island Approach, which entails using a different credit card for different types of transactions in order to amass the best possible collection of terms, but that's certainly not for everyone," Papadimitriou said. "Many consumers instead value the simplicity of having a single credit card in their wallets. But if you go that route, getting the right card for your needs becomes even more important. In other words, you should only get a rewards card if you always pay your bill in full and a travel rewards card if you embark on numerous trips each year."
Another bit of advice if you are traveling outside the U.S. Papadimitriou says always pay your bill in the native currency. Most foreign businesses will let you pay for credit card purchases in dollars, but usually charge a fee to do the conversion.

Honolulu police say roads were closed in Downtown Honolulu due to a helicopter crash just before 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The chopper ended up on Fort Street between Kukui Street and Beretania Street.
Emergency Medical Services officials say a 30-year-old woman, who was the pilot, and a 71-year-old man was a passenger in the aircraft. Both of them refused treatment.
At least one vehicle on Fort Street was damaged in the crash.
According to the pilot of the chopper, Mauna Loa Helicopters was hired by Aerial Photography Hawaii to help them shoot video.
Aerial Photography Hawaii specializes in panoramic imaging, virtual tours and oblique-scenic photography, according to its website.
A source said the Robinson R22 experienced catastrophic engine failure. The chopper was manufactured in 1992, according to records with the Federal Aviation administration.
Records show the chopper received its air worthiness certificate in February, which is good until 2016.
A source tells KITV that these Robinson R22s must receive a complete overhaul after 2,200 hours of flight. Those FAA records will all be part of a National Transportation Safety Board investigation in the coming weeks and months.

The top of the cowl tag should not have body color overspray on it. The entire car body was painted body color, and then the firewall was blacked out. That car has had the body color repsrayed, but not the firewall. The firewall/body color line looks good other than the fact its body color over black instead of black over body color.
So if the firewall blackout is up that high then it is safe to assume there will be black over-spray in the cowl where the wiper motor mechanics are? Mike

The Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) was established by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) resolution 9(I) in 1946, to assist the ECOSOC in supervising the application of the international drug control treaties. In 1991, the General Assembly (GA) further expanded the mandates of the CND to enable it to function as the governing body of the UNODC, and to approve the budget of the Fund of the United Nations International Drug Control Programme, which accounts for over 90 per cent of the resources available to the United Nations for drug control. In ECOSOC resolution 1999/30, the CND was requested to enhance its functioning by structuring its agenda into two distinct segments: a normative segment, during which the CND discharges its treaty-based and normative functions; and an operational segment, during which the CND exercises its role as the governing body of UNODC.
The Political Declaration and Plan of Action on International Cooperation Towards an Integrated and Balanced Strategy to Counter the World Drug Problem of 2009 is the main policy document of the United Nations guiding action by the international community in this field. It reaffirms the principle role played by the CND as one of the United Nations organs with prime responsibility for drug control matters. In line with its mandates, the CND monitors the world drug situation, develops strategies on international drug control and recommends measures to combat the world drug problem, including through reducing demand for drugs, promoting alternative development initiatives and adopting supply reduction measures.
In the Political Declaration and Plan of Action of 2009, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs recommended that the General Assembly hold a Special Session on the World Drug Problem. The General Assembly decided that this Special Session be held in early 2016 and that the purpose of the Special Session be "to review the progress in the implementation of the Political Declaration and Plan of Action on International Cooperation towards an Integrated and Balanced Strategy to Counter the World Drug Problem, as well as assess its achievements and challenges in countering the world drug problem, within the framework of the three international drug control conventions and other United Nations instruments" ( A/RES/67/193).
The Commission adopted at the High Level Review in March 2014 the Joint Ministerial Statement, which identifies achievements, challenges and priorities for further action.
The Commission on Narcotic Drugs led the preparations for the General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on the World Drug Problem in 2016 and negotiated the outcome document.
The CND meets annually when it considers and adopts a range of decisions and resolutions. Intersessional meetings of the CND are regularly convened to provide policy guidance to UNODC.

- Title
- Temporary protection of refugees: Australian policy and international comparisons
- Author(s)
- Mansouri, Fethi; Leach, Michael
- Abstract
- The introduction of the TPV in October 1999 created a situation of open discrimination against TPV holders who were specifically excluded from a range of key settlement services. These exclusions have resulted in considerable levels of anguish and hardship for already traumatised asylum seekers, and placed considerable strain on state-funded agencies and community-run services. Separate studies by Mann (2001), and Mansouri & Bagdas (2002) found that the TPV policy has effectively created two classes of refugees; those who were assessed off-shore and granted full settlement services and permanent protection visas (PPV), and those assessed on-shore and granted temporary protection visa with no family reunion and a punitively reduced access to settlement services. As a result, the TPV policy created uncertainty, insecurity, isolation, confusion, a sense of powerlessness and health problems among this class of asylum seekers. In 2001, the Federal Government proceeded to further erode the rights of refugees in Australia by introducing a host of new legislative amendments aimed at making Australia 'less attractive' to potential asylum seekers.

The Gaslamp Killer
William Benjamin Bensussen better known by his stage name The Gaslamp Killer blew Roskilde pounding with their fast-paced rhythms.
We were definitely not disappointed and hope to see them again next year.
Street Style at Roskilde Festival
Roskilde festival was fantastic this year – great people, the black feeling was everywhere, great style and even greater weather.
St. Vincent
St. Vincent was one of the many acts at this year's Roskilde Festival and we really looked forward to see her perform.
David Andersen SS14
Danish born David Andersen debuted his eponymous collection, David Andersen, in 2007 to instant success, both critically and commercially. Approaching its third year, the collection is represented in 12 countries expanding abroad Europe, and entering the markets of Japan and the US. Every year, the David Andersen shows at Copenhagen Fashion Week keep surprising the critics and fashion followers, with girls modeling the menswear collection, or the stunning performers that give every show a different, almost engaging feeling.
J.W. ANDERSON X VERSUS models backstage before the catwalk show at the Lexington Armory in New York.
Deviba Wala: Ode to life's pure existence
Deviba Wala believes in the ability of art to foster connections. A self-described cultural nomad, Wala's style of framing multi-tonal arrangements of linear forms in space gives an intriguing perspective of interconnectivity through space and time. Each linear formation is autonomous from the rest, and yet they project a foreboding presence of an inevitable interaction with the others that lead to questions of influence and identity. Collectively, they resemble network typologies. However, if we view these linear forms as a window into dynamic networks, it's important to note that – in the scope of interaction taking shape on Wala's canvases – there is no discernible contact between them. Each form shares space with the others but they never quite connect.
4 shades of black
The album "4 slags sort"- translating into 4 shades of black, is about four different feelings of darkness and emotional despair, hence the name. The songs describes feelings of inferiority self destructiveness, lust, and trying to find answers in the bottom of a bottle – dark indeed. All four tracks has an extremely personal feel, which Pelle Møller is very aware of. Pelle explains that his work is deliberately subjective, because his work is about depicting his personal perspective of the world around him, thus sharing his own feelings, and personal universe, with his audience.
Dolce and Gabbana rises from the dark ages
The Dolce & Gabbana company has endured a lot since it launch in 1986. It has gotten a sister label in 1994, seen the separation of its creators; Dominico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, been transformed from being designer-owened to being sold to a holding company and was latest threaten with closure, due to the trial for tax aversion, but as always, Dolce & Gabbana endures.
Sculptural And Feminine Design
In the danish designer Stine Ladefogeds SS14 collection she had chosen to work with colors in the scales black, white, gray and mint.
Of course we love the beautiful, sculptural, feminine and sophisticated black styles from her collection.
Barbara i Gongini and her dark summer of 2014
Barbara i Gongini's fashion show for men and women SS14 was a very dramatic show reminiscent, of Japanese kabuki theater or a scene played out at an insane asylum. The clothes reflected Gongini's usual virtues with loads of black, drop waists and Turkish pants, worn in flowing layers.
Rock Diary
The image of today is Hedi Slimanes provocative black and white photographs.
Slimane has worked with Lady Gaga, Daft Punk, Sky Ferreira, Phoenix, and Pete Doherty, amongst others, and now he has featured many of these musicians in his Rock Diary, an online compilation of visceral, provocative black and white photographs.
Kristen McMenamy for Balenciaga
The image of today is the beautiful fall/winter 2013 campaign by Balenciaga. The campaign is photographed by Steven Klein and featuring super model Kristen McMenamy.
Tights and Lips
'Tights and Lips' is the latest collection from the giant Japanese Photographer Daido Moriyamas. The imagery is a combination of close-up shots of legs in fine hosiery and street-photographs of lips in high-street advertising.
Kicking it off
Danish pop prince Vinnie Who press the play button at Roskilde Festival. 50.000 tents, 195 bands and a whole lot of good looking music fanatics looking effortlessly chic though covered in mud and dust. Scandinavia's biggest festival – Roskilde Festival outside of Copenhagen – has begun its 42nd edition and Thursday Danish electro-pop icon Vinnie Who will start the music.

Castelbajac succumbs to simple black powers
The avantgarde and colorful french designer Jean Charles de Castelbajac, has shown surprisingly low-key pieces for AW13. The collection holds several fantastic black items and some noteworthy little black dresses.
Maria Black
Jewelry designer Maria Black's AW13 collection is full of big, black and beautiful statement jewelry.
Check out the amazing images from Balenciagas spring 2013 campaign by Steven Meisel. Lots of black.
Designer Iris van Herpen collaborates with Nick Knight and Daphne Guinness to create a 'crystallization' dress live on camera. For this project, Knight began by photographing the fashion icon Daphne Guinness as she was being splashed with black and clear water. Iris Van Herpen then created a dress based on the shoot, which Knight again shot as Guinness modelled.
Black booty
If Hedi Slimane has made you thirsty for more punk attitude maybe you should try and get a hold on Anne Sofie Madsens AW13 collection. Anne Sofie Madsens designs is always artistic and with very surprising sources of inspiration. This time she too seem to be influenced by punk, but never looked so poetic as in Anne Sofie Madsens delicate hands.
Elle Style Award – Danish stylist of the year
Nominee Alexandra Carl always had a way with black.
Love affair
The creative director Hedi Slimane has a love affair with rock icons, now including the French electronic duo Daft Punk.

Saint Laurent SS 2013
For Slimanes first men's collection at the head of Yves Saint Lauren, he chose Saskia de Braw as the face of the ad campaign.
Chanel No. 5 – Inevitable
Is this the inevitable end? Rumors have it, that the classic perfume, Chanel No. 5 is going out of production. Is this truly to be believed? Nevertheless, even as a rumor, it's shocking.
In the black of the night

Q: When agents ask for sample chapters, which chapters should I include? I feel that my strongest chapters fall in the middle—is it OK if I send those? —Davey K.
You wouldn't start reading a novel in the middle, would you? Seems silly to ask an agent to do so.
Your goal with the agent (just as with your future bookstore customer) is to hook him into your story with Page 1, so always send the first few chapters of your novel. If those aren't some of the strongest in your manuscript, then the tough truth is that you shouldn't be querying yet. Instead, you should be editing, rewriting and reworking until they are. You want the agent to read them and say, "Oh man, this is dynamite. I wonder what happens next? I'm going to request the entire manuscript and find out!"
Keep in mind that that rule applies specifically to fiction. With nonfiction you have a little more flexibility. Often chapters from nonfiction books can stand alone (which is why magazines and newspapers regularly publish excerpts from them as articles), so it's not essential, from a story standpoint, to send sequential chapters.
Some people think you should still send the first chapter, but you can handpick after that. In fact, it may be advantageous to send your first chapter and then one from the middle and one from the end. This would help give the agent a clearer picture of what your nonfiction book is about and how you plan to present it to readers.

- Abstract
- This study analysed data from the Australian census for 2001 and 2006. Affordable private rental dwellings are defined to be those that can be rented to households in the bottom two income quintiles for an amount no greater than 30 per cent of their household income. The study also considered the impact of supply availability - many affordable dwellings are occupied by higher income households and are therefore not available to low income households.

We live under a highly ideological government. It wishes to privatise everything in sight, not least universities and the National Health Service. Of course they don't put it that way: they call it "reform". It's easier to deal with open ideology than with ideology disguised as social reform, but luckily a 10-year old […]

Freedom New Mexico: Liliana Castillo Penny White holds her sparkler in the wind as her mother, Carrie White, sits nearby on a blanket, handing out sparklers to any child who wanted one Friday at Greene Acres Park before the fireworks display.
By Liliana Castillo and Kevin Wilson: CNJ staff writers
Boats filled the lake, music filled the air and fireworks lit up the night to celebrate America's independence Friday night at Greene Acres Park.
The streets around the park were lined with cars as the celebration began at 2 p.m. Friday with the Great Dairy Boat Race and a stream of live bands.
People ran with their children and pets from tent to tent that had popped up on the lawn of the park as a small respite from the heat of the day.
On the southwest bank of the lake, teams from local businesses readied themselves for the second annual Great Dairy Boat Race hosted by the Matt 25 Hope Center.
Jerry Swenson, event organizer, said 10 teams participated in the race and with other non-participating donors the event raised about $60,000 for the center.
The 10 teams competed for a traveling trophy in the form of an antique cream can, which the event's creator Kent Ware found in a second-hand store. A placque on the can claims the can came from an old creamery company in Clovis.
"We were looking for an old cream can and (Kent) found this one in the first store he looked in," Swenson said. "It was God's design."
Swenson said it was important for the trophy to tie back to dairies because the race was originally exclusively for dairies.
"Dairies are such a major asset to the community," he said. "And we wanted it to reflect that even though the race has been opened to other entities."
The two teams with the best times raced each other for the championship. Blackridge Dairy and Heritage Dairy made it to the championship race, both using rope to pull the boat back toward the finish line, with Blackridge beating Heritage by 0.8 seconds.
Blackridge's team captain, Jared Wilhite, finished the race by running a flag from the bank to the finish line.
"I had a blast," Wilhite said, still panting from his 25-yard dash.
Wilhite said his team finished third last year and was elated by the team's win and said they will definitely participate next year.
"It's a good cause and a lot of fun," Wilhite said. "We'll be here."
Soon after the boat races finished, the crowd came for a night of pyrotechnic pleasure, the Smoke on the Water fireworks display.
The grassy shores of the lake were full of residents armed with blankets, folding chairs and sometimes patio furniture. For those who needed more, vendors offered roasted corn, ice cream and other food items while children helped glow sticks scatter throughout the park.
Along with the classic rock pumping from Rooney Moon Broadcasting, the event sponsors, the park was full of thousands who flowed in hours before in hopes of getting a good view.
The Balter family was well prepared, coming at 5 p.m. for the 8:30 p.m. showing with a cooler of food and blankets for husband Christopher, wife Ashley and 6-week-old daughter Mackenzie.
The family, stationed at Cannon Air Force Base, admits they weren't always prepared for the event. The 2008 show was their first, despite three years of residency.
"The first time, we missed it because we got the time wrong," Christopher said. "The second time, I got deployed. This time, it's a charm."
The family was among the thousands treated to an approximate 15 minutes of fireworks accompanied by patriotic music. Though they're used to firework shows, having worked at Disneyland when they grew up in California, the Balters could see Smoke on the Water as something special for years to come.
"We have family out here," Ashley Balter said, "so it's a good place to celebrate."

Give & Go: Kent Denver, U.S. U19 Midfielder Matt Florence
by Matt Forman | LaxMagazine.com
|"'Life In The Fast Lane' by The
Eagles would be the best song to describe my life," U.S. U19
midfielder Matt Florence said. Is there something about jumping in
that song?
© Trevor Brown
The Kent Denver (Colo.) High, U.S. U19 team midfielder and Virginia recruit dishes on Dr. King, beef jerky and chemistry.
Who is your favorite athlete?
Wayne Gretzky. When people say "The Great One," you automatically assume they are talking about Gretzky. That says a lot about someone and what they've accomplished throughout their career — not only as an athlete, but as a person as well.
What's one thing you can't live without?
My iPod. Music is a big part of my life, and whether I'm working out or traveling my iPod is definitely the first thing by my side.
Who in lacrosse is destined to be a reality TV
Joe Leonard on the U.S. U19 men's national team. He's one of the funniest people I've ever met and could easily fill up a 30-minute timeslot every day.
Do you Google yourself?
Ha! No, I have never Googled myself. After making the U19 team my friends would occasionally joke around with me and type my name into Google to see what would come up, but Googling myself is not something I would ever do.
If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it
Meeting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be pretty cool. He was a man far ahead of his time that fought for peace and unified our nation. Being able to talk to one of America's true heroes would be incredible.
What's one thing that always puts you in a good
My dog, Pepper. She's an adorable black lab that is my best friend. I've had her for as long as I can remember, and if I'm ever having a bad day she's the best thing to cheer me up.
Where did you go on your last vacation?
Westerly, Rhode Island. My family has a house there that we go to for the whole month of July where all my relatives meet. We go to the beach and just relax. It's a great time to catch up and be a family again.
What's one thing lacrosse really needs?
More TV exposure. Lacrosse is one of the most exciting sports to watch, and people need to see how fast and electric the game has become.
It's 2022 – Where are you and what are you
I'm a warm weather kind of guy, so I hope to be living somewhere in California with a super hot wife while working and coaching lacrosse in my free time!
What's been the proudest moment of your lacrosse
Making the U.S. U19 team, definitely. Knowing that I'll be representing the U.S. in the world games this summer is special and something I will be proud of for the rest of my life.
Do you have any pregame rituals?
Before the national anthem of every game, I have a piece of beef jerky for good luck. I know it's weird, but it started my sophomore year during football season when my coach pulled me over to the side, handed me the piece of jerky, and said, "Play like a star today." I ended up having one of the best games of my career, so I've done it ever since.
What's your favorite moment of a lacrosse
The opening faceoff — the adrenaline rush that occurs when the first whistle is blown and the battle for the ground ball that ensues.
One word you would use to describe
(from Penn senior attacker Erin Brennan) If you could
pick one song to describe yourself, what would it be?
"Life In The Fast Lane" by The Eagles would be the best song to describe my life. I'm a very energetic guy that likes to have fun and typically forgets to slow things down and just take it easy, but I'm working on it!
Double Overtime
(from Brendan Staudt, Chester Springs, Pa.) What's the
most important thing a lacrosse team can have and why?
Chemistry. You can have a team filled with superstars, but if there's no chemistry, the team as a whole will fail.

Playing casual sports in the backyard or at formal matches provides a way to stay active in the company of friends while pushing your body to the limit.
Participating in popular sports such as football aides in developing physical skills like speed, stamina and endurance, and football players tend to have fewer risks of developing issues such as osteoporosis and hypertension.
Swimming has countless benefits as well, especially with the cardiovascular system because it improves the way the body inhales oxygen without exhausting the heart. It has also been reported that swimmers can burn as many calories per hour as someone running six miles in the same time period.
Other easily acquired sport activities include playing catch, riding a bike, throwing a Frisbee or jumping on a trampoline.
But while the great outdoors provide limitless opportunities for exercise, believe it or not, constricted indoor spaces can also procure workout space ...
No. 1: Get an office workout
Sitting at a desk from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. is not an ideal environment for exercising, plus, after sitting for long periods of time, back pain starts to form. But multitaskers, rejoice: exercising at work is easier than it sounds and can even blend in without looking bizarre.
To build shoulder and chest strength, place hands on chair armrests and gently lift yourself off of the bottom. Lower back down until almost touching seat, hold for a few seconds and repeat 15 times.
To prevent tight muscles, stretch by facing forward, turning head to the left and torso to the right, holding for a few seconds. Then repeat 15 times with alternating sides.
Finally, one minute of high-impact exercise is recommended to jump-start heart rate, and though performing jumping jacks next to the fax machine may be out of the question, running up and down the stairs is a more reasonable alternative.

The Borg Queen's vessel was a unique, octahedron-shaped starship that was used by the Borg Collective. In the Federation encounters with this starship design, it was utilized by the Borg to transport the Borg Queen. The ship was heavily armed, well protected, and, like all Borg ships, capable of transwarp speeds.
The vessel was present when Species 10026 was assimilated in 2375; Seven of Nine and the Borg Queen were aboard while this assimilation took place. Later, the vessel pursued the Delta Flyer when it escaped from the Unicomplex after rescuing Seven. The vessel was destroyed when the USS Voyager collapsed the transwarp conduit it was traveling in. (VOY: "Dark Frontier")
Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
No designation was formally given for this starship design. The script of "Dark Frontier" describes it merely as "massive" and "a complex, distinctive geometric shape we've never seen before." It remains unknown whether any other ships of this type exist.
The diamond-shaped vessel was designed by Dan Curry, and whose design was translated into a CGI model by Brandon MacDougall. (Cinefantastique, Vol. 31, No. 11, p. 33)
Apocrypha Edit
According to the video game Star Trek Armada (and many other games), this ship class is referred to as a "Borg diamond," due to its shape and the fact that it follows the naming conventions used in describing the cube and sphere (though if the naming convention is properly adhered to, "Borg octahedron" is the more applicable designation).
In Star Trek Online, the Borg Queen commands a vessel of this class, termed the Borg Queen's Octahedron, during Battle Group Omega's assault on the new Unicomplex in the Gamma Orionis Sector Block.

In 1994 he became a history teacher and then in 2000 Joe
accepted the position of technology instructor. On Saturday
night, Joe became the 2006-2007 Illinois Teacher of the
Year during the 32nd annual Those Who Excel banquet.
Growing-up in an impoverished community in Southern Illinois,
Joe Fatheree didnt share the majority belief that
education was a hindrance to earning a living. Joe said
that a teacher helped him understand that education was
a source of self-improvement. Because of this teacher,
Joe said he was inspired to believe in people and to help
other people achieve a sense of self worth. This belief
has become Joe Fatherees personal mantra and one
that he instills in his students.
Principal Mike McCollum says that Joe has a unique ability
to teach any and all levels of students: he goes
out of his way to recruit students of varied learning
abilities for his program. He has a way of bringing out
the best qualities in all his students and helps them
do the same for other students.
Joes passion and commitment shine through
in his teaching and the way he lives his life outside
of the classroom, said State Superintendent of Education
Randy Dunn. You cant help but be impressed,
and inspired, by all that he has accomplished both in
the classroom and within the community at large.
Three years ago Joe started a program that exemplifies
his passion for helping students become successful learners
and citizens. The No Barriers Project-creating opportunity
through education was designed to help students
understand how extreme poverty impacts student success.
His first effort was recruiting a group of students to
pilot a poverty literacy program. During the programs
first year, students collected over 2500 coats for homeless
children living in the St. Louis Area. In the second year,
the students collected over 4000 books and partnered with
KCET, a PBS station in St. Louis, to find a literacy expert
to take the books into homes of disenfranchised children
to help them improve their reading skills. He also formed
a partnership with a school in East St. Louis. His students
are strengthening their skills by teaching visual story
telling skills to the students from East St. Louis.
Now in its third year, students from both schools are
working cooperatively to develop media projects. Students
participating in this program are learning much both academically
and socially by gaining insight into other cultures and
breaking down the barriers of miscommunication and misunderstanding.
He is equally as impassioned in the classroom as he guides
his students on the journey of learning. Joe talks about
when he began teaching he used the lecture style but it
didnt take him long to realize that he wasnt
reaching his students so he talked to them. He was surprised
by their level of frustration and vowed then and there
to change things, and change he did. His students starting
reading plays, writing rap music and playing it on guitars,
as well as breaking down grammatical sentence structures,
his students were learning, attendance increased, grades
soared, and discipline problems diminished.
Joe realized he was onto something very good.
He has carried these experiences, and many, many more,
with him as his teaching career has evolved. Today his
accomplishments are numerous and many of his students
have succeeded far beyond their own beliefs. Fatheree
truly leads by example and his students are eager to follow.
Joe holds a history degree from Eastern Illinois University
and a masters degree in Educational Administration.
As Illinois Teacher of the Year, Joe will have the opportunity
to take some time off from teaching. He will spend the
2007 spring semester speaking at teacher workshops, educational
conferences, and civic and community meetings. Joe will
receive a lifetime tuition waiver to state universities
and a one-semester paid leave to pursue coursework or
develop an educational project that will benefit students
statewide. In addition, Fatheree will represent Illinois
at the NASA Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama and in the
National Teacher of the Year program sponsored by the
Council of Chief State School Officers, Scholastic, Inc.,
and ING. In addition, Joe will receive products and services
from Motorola and SMART, Technologies.

What I Miss About Ace
Alfredo Aceves
So it's been the offseason for about 5 days now and I'm starting to miss each of my Yankees a little more each day. This always happens to me. But unlike the years of the past, I have this blog now. So I can just let things out. Throughout the offseason, I will be making posts about things I miss about each player, as well as things I remember, and just any random stuff about that Yankee. Let me start with a man they call "Ace."
I miss Alfredo! He was so important to our Yankees this year! That 10-1 record was surely something else. He was always there, ready to pitch 2, 3, 4, even 5 innings if he had to. No wonder he had 10 wins in relief. Whenever the starter seemed to be lost and the game seemed like it was getting out of hand, Ace was there. He came in and shut the opponents down.
It seems like Aceves does what he does in a very quiet way. He isn't the hardest hurler out of the Yankee 'pen, he doesn't have the biggest breaking curveball, but he is good. Alfredo Aceves is really, really good, and it is kind of scary. At age 26, Ace is one of these young-guns the Yanks have in their 'pen, hopefully here to stay for a long while.
Ace is also a very cute Yankee. I heard this story about him: He once went to dinner with his wife, and pulled out a guitar and sang to her in Mexican. How cute is that? But his Yankee teammates found out, and wouldn't let him hear the end of it. They even played it on that giant screen in the outfield and laughed at him! Aw, poor Aceves. Why were they making fun of him? I think that is sweet. He loves his wife!
I think I have a pretty good celebrity lookalike for Aceves…..
….Ace, and……..
…….Vin Diesel! I have to say, I'm pretty proud of this one.
Alfredo, I'm going to miss you! I'm going ot miss that feeling of relief knowing that when you come in, the other team is going to stop hitting. Have a nice offseason, Ace. 93 days until you and the other pitchers and catchers report! I hope to see you soon!
5 Comments
Excellent look-alike! They really do resemble each other. Ace did a great job for the Yankees and always seemed very calm and relaxed, even in tight situations. A very valuable member of the team for sure.
He is the type of pitcher that could come in and pitch in any situation…start, long relieve, get an out or two, pitch one or two innings in relief, set-up, maybe even close if Mo isn't available…
Vin Diesel! Haha! He's got some pretty nice man-boobs in that photo but I always thought he was a looker. =) I really hope Ace stays in the groove he was in most of this season. That would be beyond clutch!
Yanks bullpen was fantastic. i love the way Marte pitched as well. he was great in pittsburgh and id sure love to have him back, well him and most of the other guys we traded as well
Yo chill they look exactly alike! Funny how things just work out in the weirdest way. Those two? Weird.
I miss Ace to, I was disappointed that the Yankees didn't go to him to often in the postseason. He was so reliable and a big reason the Yankees made the playoffs. He's young. A lot is to come out of this guy. It will be a great pleasure to watch him grow on this team. I bet he will become a starter one day.
