WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Four members of the No. 1-ranked University of Michigan men's swimming and diving team were 'A' finalists and all five divers scored points off the platform to conclude competition at the Purdue Invitational on Sunday (Nov. 18) at the Boilermaker Aquatic Center. The Wolverines, who sent only 16 student-athletes to the meet, finished sixth as a team with 198 points.
A trio of Wolverines scored points in the 200-yard breaststroke, led by a pair of freshman 'A' finalists in Matt McNamara (Huntington Woods, Mich./University of Detroit Jesuit) and Paul Corbae (Madison, Wis./Westlake). McNamara finished fourth (2:03.33), while Corbae took eighth (2:05.97). Junior/sophomore Adam Oxner (South Lyon, Mich./South Lyon) also scored points, touching the wall in 15th (2:08.95).
Junior Jack Lee (North Egremont, Mass./Berkshire School) led the divers, finishing third (326.35) on the 10-meter platform. Juniors James Ross (Richmond, Va./Collegiate School) and Thomas Jahnke (Ann Arbor, Mich./Huron) were ninth (263.35) and 10th (259.50), respectively, while sophomore Kevin Bain (Northville, Mich./Northville) took 13th (224.60) and junior Nate Rietberg (Jenison, Mich./Jenison) followed up in 15th (195.60).

In-State Tuition (residents of VA, DC, MD)
Virginia International University offers in-state tuition for permanent residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia (VA), Maryland (MD) or District of Columbia (DC). This tuition only applies to students enrolled in a residential (on-campus-based) program at VIU.
To be considered for the in-state tuition, the student must be enrolled in a degree program on a full-time or part-time basis and meet all of the following criteria:
- An individual must demonstrate residence in Virginia, Maryland, or District of Columbia and an intent to remain in those states indefinitely to establish domicile in Virginia, Maryland, or District of Columbia.
- A US citizen, US permanent resident (green card holder), H1-B, or similar visa holder who has domiciled in Virginia, Maryland, or District of Columbia at least 12 month preceding the first day of classes.
NOTE: Any holder of student visa and their dependents (For example, F-1, F2, J-1, J-2, M-1, M-2) are not eligible for the in-state tuition. For additional information about residency classification you may refer to the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia website at www.schev.edu. All public institutions of higher education in the state of Virginia are governed by Section 23-7.4 of the Code of Virginia found at http://www.schev.edu/index/tuition-aid/in-state-residency Domicile Guidelines can be found on this website.
To be considered for the in-state tuition, a student must submit the following supporting documents:
- The most recently filed state tax return form
- Driver's license or State identification card
- Proof of US permanent residency or citizenship
- Proof of current acceptable non-immigrant visa status
- Proof of relationship may be requested
To be considered for the in-state tuition, the student must fill out an Application for the Residency Tuition. The application for in-state tuition is initially reviewed by the Office of Admissions and should be submitted with your admission application. Based upon the information provided by the applicant and parents, (if required), the Office of Admissions will render one of three decisions:
- The applicant will be classified as in-state tuition
- The applicant will be required to provide additional documentation
- The applicant will be classified as out-of-state tuition
Students who qualified for in-state tuition in one calendar year will continue to be qualified for in-state tuition for the rest of semester in the same calendar year. When it becomes the following year, the Accounting Office will email students who were previously qualified for in-state tuition to provide the most recently filed state tax return form. The deadline to apply for this in-state tuition is the add/drop deadline for the semester. Applications after deadlines will only be considered for the following semester.
A parent, or legal guardian, can apply on behalf of students under the age of 24. Spouses may also apply on behalf of their partner, provided the student in question is listed as a dependent on the state income tax filing for the most recent year.

In the Email Marketing world, mobile is the latest and biggest improvement in the last decade, at least.
The rest of the world is still on the fence, most trying to figure out how to approach it. The most frequent question at the moment is "When should we start thinking about mobile for our email campaigns?"
I'll answer that: Yesterday.
According to Litmus, 51% of ALL email opens already happen on mobile devices and, when BlueHornet's survey participants were asked about their reaction after opening an email that doesn't look good in a mobile device, 80.3% responded that they will only delete the message, but 30.2% will unsubscribe from the list.
Like I said… yesterday.
Where to start?
Here's an infographic by GetResponse with 10 very important items you need to consider to turn your campaigns mobile.
Also, I just re-launched my course "Email Marketing [not so] 101", check it out.

New England Fishing Village
In Stores
A few years ago I had the chance to visit LEGOLand California. Just like all of the other LEGOLand parks, one of the main attractions there is MiniLand. All of the displays in MiniLand are great, but one that really caught my attention was the New England Fishing Village (perhaps because it covered a subject near to where I live).
Time has passed, and I'm not even sure whether that exhibit still exists, but I have always thought that a fishing village would be a great subject for a LEGO model. What I
have done with this project is to put a slightly different spin on the idea of a New England Fishing Village -- a miniaturized and modernized version. This model is built at an approximate scale of 1 stud = 1 meter (i.e. 1:125). The scale is close to the one used in the Mini Modular set, but I would hestitate to call this set "modular" -- there isn't really any intent to link it up to other sets and, unlike the Mini Modular set, this set actually has a decent amount of playability,
The buildings and boats included are more typical of what you would see today, as opposed to the early 20th century timeframe that the LEGOLand display appeared to have been based on.
So, what's included in this set? Well, let's start off with the fishing vessels themselves. At the larger pier there is a 72-foot (22 meter) longliner (those of you who are familiar with my other projects might recognize it ;-). Docked next to the longliner is an 82-foot (25 meter) stern trawler. At the smaller pier are a pair of 32-foot (10 meter) lobster boats, which are pretty much ubiquitous on the coast of Maine. Given the model scale, the vessels are all exactly as large as you would expect -- the longliner is 22 studs long, the stern trawler is 25 studs long, and the lobster boats are each 10 studs long.
Both the longliner and the trawler are equipped with functional stabilizing anchor masts, and both have some variant of a fishing mast as well. The longliner has a typical complement of line reels and buoys, while the trawler is fitted out with two large net drums and a winch on the port side. The longliner has a fairly straight hull, while the trawler has a tapered stern with stiffening ribs along the sides. Both ships are mounted with modern navigational equipment, which can be seen atop the pilot houses.
The piers lead back to a rocky coast (typical of northern New England). Between the piers is a small man-made promontory that is home to a statue of a fisherman -- a small tribute to the Gloucester Fisherman's Memorial Monument. On the narrow street just behind the seawall, a fire engine is parked with its ladder raised. Along the opposite side of the street are several buildings, including (from right to left):
A traditional saltbox colonial style house, complete with a widow's walk.
A fish market.
A two-story building with a pub on the first floor and living space on the
second floor).
A lobster shack (for the tourists :-).
* A wharf with a warehouse for a marine outfitter / fish exchange operation. There are two cranes on the wharf to aid in off-loading the ships and installing equipment. Parked next to the warehouse is a small mobile crane.
The picture below shows another view of the entire village, with the warehouse and lobster shack in the foreground. From this angle, you can see the mini mobile crane parked next to the warehouse.
The next picture shows a closer look at the other three buildings in the village -- the pub/aparment building, the fish market, and the saltbox colonial.
The next picture is a view of the entire village from the other end, showing a better view of the longliner, the parked fire engine, and the saltbox colonial.
In the last picture, we see the longliner and the stern trawler heading out to sea, anchor masts down and ready for the rough seas ahead.
Many more higher resolution pictures can be found on my Flickr page. Please take a look -- there are tons of details that are hard to see in these lower resolution pictures.

Mice and rats are familiar unwanted guests in and around human homes and industrial areas. Killing is not a humane, long-term, effective, or economically sensible solution to problems with these little creatures.
Mice and rats are widespread throughout North America. They both breed year round, with mice having about eight litters of four to seven young annually and rats producing twenty young each year. Both rats and mice are nocturnal. Mice can enter holes the size of a dime, and rats can enter holes the size of a quarter.
There are two kinds of mice that are likely to cause problems for homeowners, native mice like the white-footed mouse and deer mouse (more common in rural areas) and the house mouse (anywhere there are buildings). Exclusion techniques are the same for all of these mice. House mice prefer to live in comfortable areas between walls, behind appliances, and in unused drawers, and often the only sign of them is their small droppings the size and shape of grains of rice or any gnawed food items. Native mice will often seek the shelter of homes in early fall or winter. Mice are omnivorous, preferring grains and seeds, and can live without water if the food they eat is moist.
As with mice, there are two kinds of rats that cause most problems for people, the Norway or brown rat and the black or roof rat. Norway rats are common in dense areas of human settlement, and live in eighteen inch deep burrows underground or in lumber piles or similar environments. In the United States, black rats are most often found in coastal areas of the south, southeast, and west. Black rats are excellent climbers and live higher off of the ground, usually in the upper levels of buildings or nesting in trees or vines. Rats are good swimmers and jumpers, capable of leaping three vertical and four horizontal feet. Like mice, rats are omnivorous, eating a variety of plant and animal foods. Rats do need access to a water supply, though. Signs of rats in and around your home can include 1/2 – 3/4 inch droppings, gnawed holes in baseboards or door frames, and the presence of burrows (although these can be confused with burrows of squirrels and chipmunks).
The most common problems resulting from rats and mice are contamination of human food sources from urine and feces, and possible gnawing damage to electrical wiring. With both mouse and rat problems, it is important to locate and eliminate their food and shelter sources, and then permanently exclude them. Here are some suggestions:
· Clean kitchen areas well, clean up spills quickly, and store food in the refrigerator or in sealed metal, glass, or heavy plastic containers. A diluted bleach solution will get rid of any scent trails that are present.
· If possible, human or pet food should not be stored outside, and if it is in a garage or basement it should be placed in sturdy plastic, glass, or metal containers. Always feed pets indoors and thoroughly clean up the area afterward.
· Trimming and clearing away brush and debris within 18 inches of house or building foundations can help eliminate protective cover and expose the animals' burrows and entry points. To find entry points for mice inside, sprinkle powder along the perimeters of walls. This will show where there is mouse activity and where exclusion is needed.
· Eliminate indoor mouse nesting areas, such as old clothing, books, or papers in bags or boxes. Store them in plastic containers.
· The entryways that rats and mice use must be sealed for permanent exclusion from dwellings. To avoid trapping the animals in your home as you seal it, try to deter them before beginning any exclusion work. This is especially important if their entryway does not lead outside but goes into a wall. The most effective deterrents are cleanliness, placing cat hair around entryways, and moistening rags with pure peppermint oil (a natural repellent to mice and rats). To exclude mice, find their entryways (making sure to check in hard-to-reach places like behind the dishwasher and stove, under the sink and cabinets, near where utility pipes and wires lead into the house, and cracks in the foundation) and seal them. Steel wool, copper wire mesh, or quick-drying cement works well for smaller openings;for larger ones balling and stuffing galvanized window screening and covering it with caulking or cement can do the trick. Expanding foam insulation is often also effective. Attach rubber or metal runners at the bottom of doors if that is where the mice are gaining access.
· After cleaning areas well and removing old woodpiles, ground cover, and trash, rats can be excluded using heavy 1/4 inch hardware cloth or heavy-gauge screening. Check all accessible areas such as heating vents and the openings where electrical or utility lines enter a building. Indoor holes in walls and floors can be sealed with caulking and foam sealants, however, because rats can chew through these materials, they need to be combined with copper wire mesh or aluminum window screening. If a rat has an obvious exit-way, place food outside of it for them, and seal the hole after the animals have left. When rat infestation is a problem around buildings, blocking the foundation with a hardware cloth or a concrete L-shaped footer can prevent burrowing. Be sure to bury the footer at least a foot deep and extend it at a 90 degree angle outward for another foot.
· Live trapping is another option for eliminating mice and rats, however it should be used only as a last resort. The reasons for this are that trapping can break up family groups, trapped-and-relocated animals can find it hard to survive in new surroundings, and, unless conditions are made less appealing, new animals will simply move into the home or building to take the place of those caught in traps. If all other efforts to deter mice or rats fail, humane box traps will catch mice without harm and enable them to be released elsewhere (note that relocating wildlife is illegal in Massachusetts, so you can only release the animals on your own property). Click here to go to our links and resources page to find vendors that sell these humane traps. Only trap and release mice in warm weather, and release mice in an area close by the home or building where they were caught. This increases their chances of surviving both the elements and unfamiliar territory. Traps should be placed in areas where mice are present and close to walls since mice like to travel along a wall or barrier. The traps can be baited with appealing substances such as peanut butter, popcorn, or sunflower seeds. Homemade traps can also be made by tilting a small bathroom or kitchen waste basket on its side with bait in the bottom of it and a ladder of bricks or books on the outside leading up to the top of it. Mice are likely to climb up the ladder, slide or jump into the bottom to get the bait, and not be able to climb back out. Any traps should be checked every few hours. Traps and wastebaskets can be cleaned with a mild bleach solution (1:30 ratio of bleach to water) and used again.
Killing is neither a humane, long-term effective, or economically sensible solution to problems with mice and rats. As with most problems with animals in buildings, remember that unless proper exclusion, habitat management, and sanitary measures are taken, it probably won't be long before new animals move in to take advantage of the available habitat. Poisons and sticky glue traps are especially inhumane, cause intense suffering of target and non-target animals, and should not be used. They can take days to kill, and often cause an agonizing death.
When dealing with these creatures, it is important to realize that the widespread killing of them at problem sites is not an effective solution, for as long as there is viable habitat, the likelihood that more will arrive, and in a relatively short period of time, is high.
Both mice and rats can carry a number of diseases that are transmittable to humans, such as hantavirus and salmonellosis. It is important to clean areas with a mild bleach solution that have come into contact with mouse or rat droppings, and to see a doctor if ever bitten by a rat.

Amazon Payments Extreme and Bizarre Hostility, Failure to Interact, Disallowed Access to My Own Information MS Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I set up a project on Kickstarter. They told me I had to use Amazon Payments.
So I did so, giving Amazon what they required: my address, phone number, SSN, bank account number, credit card information, DOB and whatever other information they requested. They said I needed to verify my bank account by reporting a couple of credits to my account, credits of .15 and .22 cents. I did so. I received a message saying that my account was verified.
Then I received a message from Kickstarter saying that Amazon had yet to "verify" my information. I responded that I had already verified all the necessary information with Amazon.
This person from Kickstarter also asked me to respond to them if I needed any additional help in communicating with Amazon. This person (from Kickstarter) also gave me a link (via email) that I could use to check my incoming messages in the message box on Amazon. I checked the link, did an exhaustive search and found no such message inbox. I told both the Kickstarter rep this as well as Amazon.
I sent a message to Amazon via webform (which had a limit on the number of characters you could send, which is completely counterproductive when it comes to explaining what issues need to be explained), explaining the situation, and asking what the holdup was, and what exactly they needed verifying. I received an email a short time later, in my actual email inbox, that Amazon was restricting my account. Furthermore, the Amazon email said, I still needed to "verify" my account. I sent an email back to Amazon asking them to explain what exactly it was they meant by verify, what information that they wanted that I haven't given them that they needed.
I received another email from Amazon that said that the need for verification may be due to me not communicating with the requested information. I wrote back and stated (via webform again, and through email) that I absolutely tried to communicate with Amazon about what the hold up was, and that furthermore I was exceedingly forthcoming with whatever information they wanted and more than forthcoming about communicating with them and offering whatever help they wanted, and that furthermore, Amazon wass the one that has refused to communicate.
I then signed into my Amazon account in order to remove my personal information, my bank and credit card information, etc. I found that I was unable to access the account settings in order to do this. I then sent another message to Amazon (via webform) that they were hereby directed to erase all of my information from their files and records, including (but not limited to) my name address, bank account information, credit card information, etc. I also said that failure to do so would result "in an appropriate legal response."
This is disgusting. That a company could be so robotic, uncommunicative, bizarre, practice extremely bad customer service, all of this tells me that they are a company that is hostile and malicious, and definitely untrustworthy.

Date of Defense 2010-10-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe choral work love is the every only god, composed by J. A. C. Redford, was published in 2001, placing it among the initial choral concert works published in the twenty-first century. love is the every only god is a song cycle for divisi mixed chorus with piano accompaniment based on six poems by E. E. Cummings. The work is organized into six movements with two interludes and lasts approximately twenty-five minutes.
Beyond his regard for the art of poetry and care in choosing a text, Redford sees himself as an illuminator of the text, providing the listener with a better understanding of the text itself. Redford stated in his autobiography, Welcome All Wonders: A Composer's Journey, that his goal "is always to illuminate the words—as the monks of the Middle Ages illuminated their manuscripts—so that the audience better understands the poem after hearing it with my music." This study examines the music and poetry of love is the every only god so that the features that organize, construct, and unify the work musically and poetically may be understood and may provide incite to the performers of this musical work.

It's sick and funny at the same time when certain civilian police departments think they have the authority to impose their own "martial law" when they don't have the authority. Real martial law means the disarament of ALL civilians, especially civilian law enforcement.

Ottawa, Ontario, October 16, 2015
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal (the Tribunal) today rescinded its finding made on October 19, 2010, in Inquiry No. NQ-2010-001, concerning the dumping of greenhouse bell peppers from the Netherlands.
The Tribunal found that the dumping of greenhouse bell peppers from the Netherlands was not likely to result in injury. The Canada Border Services Agency will therefore not continue to impose anti-dumping duties on these products.
The Tribunal is an independent quasi-judicial body that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Finance. It hears cases on dumped and subsidized imports, safeguard complaints, complaints about federal government procurement and appeals of customs and excise tax rulings. When requested by the federal government, the Tribunal also provides advice on other economic, trade and tariff matters.

Personal Information
Personal Bio
Prince of Tennis and Hetalia are my favourites.
Golden pair and Perfect pair and UKxUS would be my OTP's so i enjoy cosplaying from them the most, as well as my favourite characters from things i've wathched.
My down fall is my procrastination...i find it so hard to be motiviated =_=;;
(any pics i have up i probably don't own, so all credit goes to them)
Cosplay Bio
I loved seeing people in cosplay every time i've been to the MCM Expo, it was really amazing.
My first cosplay probably couldn't be considered very well as cosplay....i just got a few things from wardropbe and sewed them together the day before the expo! Yes i know i fail >>""
I made the cheerleading uniform from Prince of Tennis when Sakuno and Tomoka go all fangirl. It was okay...but damn those socks >< grr
My cosplays vary from:
buying a full cosplay (I know this is frowned upon in some peoples eyes, but oh well 83 if i think it's a beautiful cosplay i will buy it).
Buying bits and bobs from shops and patch working it or making some parts, buying others.
and making cosplays from scratch. And often i make these with my amazing nan who's a seamstress and is always teaching me how to sew OwO <3 <3 <3
I dont often upload progress pictures as i get carried away and forget |D;;; and by then it's too late for progress shots haha~
So far my favourite cosplay has been Chibimerica (made by nan for me during my university deadline). It gave me a lot of confidence to me to act like myself more freely and be silly and childish XD It's easier to play a character you have more in common with than having to act.
So it was a lot of fun 8D and a lot of ripped tights running around without shoes on >>;;
My aim for October Expo 2011 is to cosplay Lovino Vargas (South Italy) in his costume from RomaHeta. And i plan to work hard making that with guidance.

A comedy road movie built around the clashing of charismas rather than the crashing of cars, this is an instantly likeable triumph of optimism over opportunism which reserves a wide conspiratorial wink for its five sunny-side crazies - all packed into a getaway limo after a nervous heist; all busily airing their various obsessions over health, wealth and the great American orgasm. Jaglom hooks you early with his 'old-fashioned' little-guy duo, then steps up the surprises and widens the sparring ring for an improvised unisex tag-match. The result's the sort of movie you'll find yourself humming along to.

Much is always made of the different demands Australian pitches make on visiting batsmen. In fact, pitches round the world are much more uniform with the advent of similar loams used in their preparation, while the traditional bounce and pace of Australian surfaces has declined.
Where once the new ball would have jumped at your throat like a Rottweiler, it is more often a friendly labrador nuzzling at your thigh. Perth is the exception.
All the Australian pitches vary slightly, with Perth being the quickest and Melbourne the slowest. But it is in the first 15 overs, when the ball is at its hardest and shiniest, that batting is demanding. At this time there are basic rules.
1. Leave the ball whenever feasible. Often this is possible on 'length' - even if the delivery is quite straight - as a ball slightly back of a length on all the surfaces except perhaps Melbourne can be reliably expected to bounce well over the stumps.
2. Do not nibble. Offering an angled blade to the new ball around the off-stump, perhaps attempting to run it to third man, is regularly fatal. An edge will frequently result and invariably carry easily to the slips. The local rule of thumb is when you defend keep the ball on the pitch. In other words, play straight with the full face of the bat.
3. Move your feet. The most prolific Australian batsmen of the modern era - Allan Border and Ricky Ponting -0600 were famous for their back foot shots - the pull (Ponting) and the cut (Border) but also looked to get well forward in defence. Batsmen who get stuck on the crease end up often poking unconvincingly at the ball, again with damaging results.
4. Do not drive on the up. The modern fashion is for top order batsman to go after good length balls early on to make a statement to the bowler. This is dangerous in as the temporary extra bounce and hint of new ball movement will often cause the shot to be sliced and end up caught in the gully. At Melbourne, which is a slower more capricious surface, it is often said 'do not drive at all before lunch'.
5. Pull down and in front of square. There will be opportunities to play the pull stroke as the springiness of the pitches makes accidental shorter balls sit up and invite attack. The pull shot is safer when taken early and hit down towards deep mid-wicket. But judgment must be precise because, if the ball gets 'big' on the batsman a top edge will result and, as the boundaries are longer in Australia, it is likely to end up in the fielder's hands rather than fly safely for six.
6. Ignore the sledging. Bowlers (or fielders) who mouth off are invariably rattled. Keep it that way by feigning deafness and the opposition will lose focus.
There are local variations on these overall plans. In Adelaide, more runs can be scored off the back foot because of the shorter square boundaries. In Perth, the extra bounce makes judgment of length and leaving the ball even more important. The Melbourne pitch becomes abrasive later on encouraging reverse swing, which means delaying your footwork a fraction and playing the ball later.
England have not managed a total of 400 in a Test for 17 innings. That is poor. Their colossal scores in the last Ashes series Down Under were the source of their 3-1 success. Each of their four totals in excess of 500 were set up by the top three. In three of those four innings, England passed 200 only two wickets down. This enabled the middle and lower order to cash in on a flat pitch against perspiring bowlers with a soft ball. So the emphasis is on Cook, Carberry and Trott to stay in for those first 15 overs.
Above all, batting in Australia is about decisiveness. Be clear with your game plan and stick to it. Half-hearted batsmen do not linger long. The key word is 'commit'.

Summer Beauty From Stars And Their Stylists: Have Fun, Wear Colour
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - This summer's beauty trend is bold and bright, yet simple and playful. From the runways in New York to the red carpets in Hollywood, ladies are sporting bright shades of lipstick and messy updos as buns or flirty braids.
Celebrity makeup artist Matt Rezaiyan insists the new lip colour trend works on all ages: If it's bright pink, orange or red on younger women, just use a lighter version in the same bold colour family on more mature ladies.
"This summer's makeup trend is all about colour which makes doing makeup even more fun, so, do not be afraid of going bold with the eyes and if you are more of a lip kind of girl, no problem, just tone down the eyes and maximize on the lips. Try colours you have never done before like a bright pink, a coral, a tangerine orange, anything that you thought you never could get away with, you totally can this summer," says Rezaiyan.Story continues below: Here are the must-have beauty products for the summer from A to Z:

"We have seen celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johansson and Rooney Mara even wearing these pops of colour, so definitely don't go shy on that."
"Gossip Girl" Leighton Meester wore an orange-red lip colour to the MTV Movie Awards that complemented her reddish- brown hair.
"I think I like to do a strong lip and a little bit of an eye but not too much. Clean skin," says Meester. "I like to ... not have to worry about wiping creases and worrying about things running."
Kim Kardashian puts her colour elsewhere, often blending different shades for a smoky-eye effect accompanied by a nude lip shade. If this is your preference, Rezaiyan says the perfect smoky look for this summer is based in blue.
"The best way to do it honestly is to get yourself some cream shadow, work that on the lid, just smoke it out, take a powder shadow that has a blue tint to it with a different brush and just kind of go over it again in the same area. That will kind of give it that blue tint," he says.
Jet-setter Paris Hilton usually vacations during the summer months and prefers to keep her look natural.
"In the summer I am always in Saint-Tropez and Ibiza so I don't really wear any makeup, I just wear lip gloss, a little mascara," says Hilton. "I like to wear my hair in braids because you can just easily take it out, it has that pretty wave to it. You are always swimming on the ocean, you are always out, so it's not really good to blow-dry and flatiron your hair during the summer."
Renowned hair stylist Jose Eber is taking cues from New York Fashion Week, which had many runways with an undone vibe. Eber says this summer is all about texture, messy dos and pastel colour rinses.
"There is a freedom of hair, let's put it this way," says Eber. "Women are allowed to wear their hair quite on the messy side. You have seen it on celebrities, you have seen it on models, you see it obviously all over the magazines, you see messy buns, you see messy braids. It almost looks as if everybody does their own hair which is not the case all the time."
Where else to make a statement? Nails.
TV personality and fashion designer Whitney Port sported short dark, rounded nails with her thumb colored half-silver and half-gold. "Yeah, I think nails are just a fun way to accessorize an outfit, like they are the new accessory. It's fun to funk it up a little bit."
Bellacures nail salon founder Samira Asemanfar says neon nails can give your spirits a lift.
"I've always been a big fan of bright colours because I think that when you look down at your nails during the day, having a fun colour that pops really brightens up your mood especially if you are working nine to five you are usually just kind of typing and you are like, 'Yay, pink, pink!'" says Asemanfar.
Songwriter and performer Bonnie McKee's manicure had four different nail colours with different glitter designs.
"My friend has a Pinterest site for nails and so I just go on and pick something and pick out my own colour and say 'do that' and they can do anything, I swear," says McKee.
Pop artist Ke$ha had black diamond-shaped nails with gold borders. "I was kind of going for like sexy witch or naughty flower child."
But before you can go there, you need the right canvas — and that goes for nails, hair and skin.
Those bases need to be healthy, the experts say, recommending lots of water, SPF and moisturizers.

|Behavioral: Structured Ecosystems Therapy (SET)
Active Comparator: Individually focused therapy
Individually focused therapy program for reducing sexual and drug-related HIV transmission risk factors and increasing HIV treatment adherence in HIV infected men who have recently been released from prison
|Behavioral: Individually tailored intervention
Detailed Description:
Individuals in prison are four times more likely to have HIV or AIDS as compared to non-incarcerated people. Once HIV infected individuals are released from prison, they have a high risk of transmitting HIV to their sexual or needle-sharing partners. Therefore, it is important to encourage HIV risk reduction behavior among such inmates who are nearing release from prison. SET is a therapy program that mobilizes family and caregivers as a way to support and encourage behavior change within an individual. This study will use a tailored SET program to meet the specific needs of prisoners who are infected with HIV. The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of the tailored SET program versus an individually focused therapy program at reducing sexual and drug-related HIV transmission risk factors and increasing HIV treatment adherence in HIV infected men who have recently been released from prison.
This 12-month study will enroll HIV infected men who are being released from the California Medical Facility Prison in Vacaville, California or the San Quentin State Prison in Marin County, California. Participants will meet with study recruiters while in prison and complete questionnaires to assess sexual and drug-related HIV transmission risk behaviors and treatment adherence; they will also participate in a health education session. Participants will then be randomly assigned to either a 4-month tailored SET program or a 4-month individually focused therapy program. All participants will meet with study counselors twice while still in prison, and then weekly during the first 4 months following release from prison. Participants in the SET program will work with study counselors to tailor the program to meet their individual needs. Therapy sessions will be designed to restructure interactions and communication patterns between the participant and his support network; main goals will include reducing sexual and drug-related risk behaviors and improving HIV treatment adherence. Participants in the individually focused therapy program will focus on harm reduction, goal setting, and motivational enhancement. HIV transmission risk behaviors and treatment adherence will be assessed with surveys administered at Months 4, 8, and 12 for all participants.

|I myself have gone to Currimundi since year 1. Left year 7. Currimundi is all excellent and nothing bad can be said bad about it. The teachers are fantastic at their jobs, the staff are well mannered when you see them in the office and around the school and the students are well into all their work they do. The activities they have are brilliant. Sports, surf excellent, school competitions, sports day and best of all the beach carnival. The beach is just out side the school, and if your class is lucky and well behaved, you get to have your lesson on the beach. And with all this new learning programs coming in, it prepares the students for their first year of high school.
|Not one thing.
|And excellent school with excellent teachers and students with an excellent education and it's all right next to the beach.

SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), a compound native to the body, is a critical component of many biochemical reactions, including those that affect brain biochemistry and joint health. Numerous studies have indicated that SAMe can help to temporarily alleviate minor joint discomfort resulting from overexertion or stress. In addition, because SAMe is also necessary for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, it plays an important role in mood support. NOW SAMe is enteric-coated, which makes it very well tolerated and protects it from degradation. Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish or shellfish ingredients.

Your Alumni Association is committed to connecting you with alumni. We offer a number of programs to help you do just that!
I had such a great experience with Jason K. '05. He gave me a tour of his office and walked me through all of the different departments in the agency. We then sat down in his office and talked for an hour about his career and Binghamton. I learned a lot and he also convinced me to get involved with the SAPB here on campus. As soon as I left, he emailed me and asked for my resume and said he would forward it to the head of the TV department.
~Aaron '17
We sponsor a number of special events for students throughout the year. Some connect you with alumni mentors and role models to help prepare you for life after Binghamton. Other events are just plain fun, and help us to spread the word about the many Alumni Association programs and services available to you - our future alumni.
We strongly encourage you to join the Alumni Association Professional Network group on LinkedIn. You'll find a subgroup for student-to-alumni networking.

In 1999, the photographer Ryan McGinley self-published "The Kids Are Alright," a book capturing his crew of downtown friends and lovers in varying states of nudity, ecstasy and reckless abandon. He shot prolifically, using up to 20 rolls of film a night. "At the time, it was really important to document my life because I was the only one out of my friends who was doing it," he says now.February 21, 2017

Clearwire and Sprint: Squeezed Together?
When Clearwire forged a partnership with Sprint Nextel last year, the deal was viewed more as a bonus than a must. Sprint Nextel was offering an extra set of hands, with money in them, to help Clearwire accomplish what it had set out to do anyway—build a nationwide high-speed wireless network based on a technology called WiMax—cheaper and faster.
In retrospect it appears that Sprint's helping hands were—and remain—vital to Clearwire's (CLWR) plans. The company's shares slid 3.3%, to 14.02, on Mar. 4 after a weak fourth-quarter report that also failed to bring word of a new deal with Sprint (S) to replace the preliminary agreement that unraveled in November. Sprint, which has been stung by customer losses and a management shakeup, "is now fully focused on how it can take advantage of its [next-generation network] opportunity," Clearwire CEO Ben Wolff said in a conference call with investors on Mar. 4. "We hope to be able to have something more definite to discuss with you soon."
The prospectus for Clearwire's initial public offering in March, 2007, told a far different, more independent story: "We intend to deploy our network throughout the United States and internationally in markets that we find attractive." Most investors took that to mean that with support from investors Intel (INTC), Motorola (MOT), Bell Canada and stockholders, Clearwire would and could go national—nay, international—all on its own.
A Long, Pricey Road Ahead
But now it's becoming clear that Clearwire probably didn't have the financial wherewithal to pull off a solo act when the deal with Sprint was cobbled together. "Even at the IPO there was a funding gap," says Eric Kainer, an analyst at ThinkEquity Partners. To build a nationwide WiMax network and get it off the ground, a company would need to spend from $8 billion to $12 billion, he figures. After all, once a network is constructed, "I don't think it would be profitable in the first few years," says Dan Locke, an analyst at consultant Pyramid Research.
And Clearwire is at the very beginning of this journey: It only plans to soft-launch its first market—Portland, Ore.—by midyear. The company, founded by celebrated wireless entrepreneur Craig McCaw, currently uses an older technology to deliver broadband Internet access to 400,000 customers in 16 states.
Last year, Clearwire was counting on raising additional funds through public debt offerings. But with the subprime mortgage crisis freezing up the credit markets, raising capital for its network build-out became "easier said than done," says Walter Piecyk, an analyst at Pali Research. "It's a difficult financial market to raise capital in for a company that's burning cash." Not counting interest, taxes, and depreciation, Clearwire lost $133.8 million in the fourth quarter, nearly double its $78.1 million loss during the same period in 2006.
Mutual Miseries
Without new funding or a partner, Clearwire would be left with nearly $1 billion in cash and liquid investments, only enough to build a smaller network spanning markets with 36 million people, or about a tenth of the country, Piecyk estimates. That would make Clearwire little more than a regional player. And companies like Intel "don't want to invest in a regional player," says Piecyk.
Sprint faces a similar predicament. It may still hope to recover from its market drubbing by building a next-generation network offering mobile broadband connections, a potential competitive advantage against its chief rivals in the cellular industry. But Sprint, which recently recorded a stunning $29.7 billion writedown (BusinessWeek.com, 2/28/08) in the value of its assets, is losing customers and bleeding money. With just $2.25 billion in liquid assets, the company is struggling just to upgrade its existing networks. "At this point, Sprint and Clearwire would be glad for anybody to write them a check," Piecyk says. "This is [Sprint's] escape plan."
As a result of their mutual miseries, it's likely that potential corporate investors are calling the shots in any Sprint-Clearwire negotiations. Analysts say Intel, Motorola, SK Telecom, Google (GOOG), Comcast (CMCSA), Best Buy (BBY), and even Singapore Telecom may be hammering out a joint venture between Sprint and Clearwire. Although the WiMax market has developed more slowly than some had hoped, the outlook remains bright enough for these investors to take a chance. ABI Research forecasts that U.S. WiMax service revenues will add up to more than $10 billion by 2012.
Patience, Patience
Still, many of these would-be investors are also being squeezed by the current economic downturn. Motorola's handset business is ailing and likely in need of extra cash. And Intel, hurt by weaker memory pricing, just lowered its guidance for first-quarter profit margins.
Many analysts still consider a Clearwire-Sprint venture likely: Intel has already poured billions into developing WiMax technology and needs a nationwide WiMax network to make that investment pay off. But hammering out an agreement could take time. "You have a lot of big, very powerful companies engaged here," Kainer says. "It's like trying to get elephants to dance."

Nov 5, 2006 at 5:12 pm #1220089
I am in the process of trying to optimize my backpacking diet for the Nth time and am interested in any and all comments, advice, etc.
1) I weigh ~137# and usually add ~5#
of body fat gradually over the month
before long trips (10-12 days in my
2) Pack weighs ~ 30# and clothing worn
3.5# for total weight of 175.5#
(the weight I use to calculate
calorie expenditure).
3) I use a calorie expenditure
calculator with backpacking as the
activity and a weight of 175 to
get a calorie estimate of ~ 4450.
4) My food yields ~2925 calories/day
with 1440 cal from carbs, 308 cal
from protein, and 1177 cal from
This leaves me with a calorie deficit of
~1525 calories to derive from body fat,
which equals ~ .44# of body fat, sufficient to make up the deficit for 11 day plus a little. This diet tries to replace most of my glycogen on a daily basis, provide enough protein for body repair with a little in reserve for gluconeogenisis if I exhaust my glycogen, and provide as many calories as I can from dietary fat with the remaining weight.
I would greatly appreciate feedback.Nov 5, 2006 at 8:53 pm #1366314
Tom-A unit of metabolic equivalent, or MET, is defined as the number of calories consumed per minute in an activity relative to the basal metabolic rate (BMR). A single unit (1 MET) is the caloric consumption of that individual, while at complete rest, aka BMR. For example the restful state following a quiet night's sleep is a single MET. Hiking cross country, or backpacking, averages 6 MET with an adequate diet. Burning fat, carbohydrates and proteins is referred to as substrate utilization. Your planned substrate utilization is 32% CHO, 61% fat, and 7% Pro.
For any 6 MET sport, which lasted about an hour or less, your actual substrate ratio utilization would be ~ 39% CHO, 56% fat, and 5% pro. After about 3 hours at 6 METs, your substrate utilization should have shifted to burn at least 10% more fat. Your planned substrate utilization looks fine.
I used the mean values for endurance athletes in the above brief analysis. They have a rough bell curve distribution of substrate utilization ratios. It starts with rest and persists during exercise of increasing intensity. The major determinants of resting "respiratory equivalence ratio" (RER) are: muscle glycogen content, training volume, proportion of type 1 fibers (slow twitch), FFA / lactate in your blood, and % dietary fat intake. This is a long winded way of saying, "Only taking an RER test will result in 100% accuracy for your planned substrate utilization."Nov 6, 2006 at 9:51 am #1366329

Richard – When referring to CHO do you mean carbohydrates?Nov 6, 2006 at 10:11 am #1366332
Sam-YesNov 6, 2006 at 5:43 pm #1366370
Hi Richard,
Many thanks for the really informative beta. You have pushed me further along a path I was just starting out on. For years I have pretty much adhered to the approach taken by Ryan, Roman, and Jason for the Arctic 1000 trek and it served me decently for the longer trips of my younger days-in the 16-17 day range. But I was carrying much heavier loads then and calories, not speed, was the issue. More recently, as I moved in the direction of lightweight, if not ultra light, backpacking, I began to up the percentage of CHO in my diet, but was never sure how far to take it because as CHO increases, either calories decrease or weight increases with all that implies in terms of limitations on trip duration, pack weight, etc. So, it was pretty much trial and error. You have given me a much clearer idea of the tradeoffs involved in terms of CHO percentage and pace which will come in especially handy for some PCT section hikes I am contemplating, where a faster pace is required if one is to cover the distances involved in a practical timeframe. Heretofore the type of backpacking I have done-mostly off trail wandering-rarely put me much above the 4 MET range except for booking on out the last day or two. Never had much trouble making it back to the car, BTW. Guess it was that pot of beer I visualized at the end of the
rainbow:-)…Nov 6, 2006 at 10:41 pm #1366387
Tom-I recalcuated the numbers and discovered I screwed up on my original post yesterday. I went back today and corrected the original post numbers. I shouldn't have checked my numbers before I posted them the first time… sorry.Nov 7, 2006 at 1:13 am #1366393

@pjLocale: LazyBoy in my Den - miss the forest
Richard already answered you. I'm only adding, IIRC basic biochem (i don't trust my memory any longer; some of the simplest things i forget), CHO is used since carbs (whether simple sugars or starches) are composed of only three elements C[arbon]-H[ydrogen]-O[xygen] in varying combinations and arrangements, hence CHO. Just thought someone might like to know. Furthermore, amino acids add in nitrogen, and some also have sulfur (and we all know what happens if many of the sulfurous AA's are consumed). This is why, in some fields (e.g. Microbiology) carbs are spoken of as a carbon source, and AA's as a nitrogen source (just two of several basic requirements for culturing nearly all bacteria). Someone might, from time to time, also hear the terms "carbon source" and "nitrogen source" – hence, my explanation of those terms also.Nov 7, 2006 at 5:15 pm #1366471
Hi Richard,
Thanks for being so conscientious. I really appreciate all this feedback. While we're on the subject, could you tell me how the ratio would shift if I were to drop back to a 4 MET level of output(~2.5 mph), which is the level I would probably shoot for if I were trying to extend my trip out to,say, 18 days, i.e. the kind of trip where I just wanted to get out there and wander around without any "balls to the wall" agenda? My sense is that I would up the fat percentage a la Arctic 1000, but it would be nice to hear your perspective on the subject.Nov 7, 2006 at 5:17 pm #1366472
Another point. If I'm on the right track, would I also want to pack another 2.5-3# of lard around my middle?
i.e. ~.44# per day x 6 additional days?Nov 8, 2006 at 6:21 pm #1366577
I will address your last question first. Don't "…pack another 2.5-3# of lard around my (your) middle". You will get 3,500C from every fat pound around your middle and 4,000C from every fat pound in your pack.
Now I will address your first question. For a male, (estimated age of 30), (estimated height value of 69"), (estimated VO2max category of Very Good), bulked up from 142 to 147 lbs, 5 lbs of clothing worn, and an average pack weight of 30 lbs your approximate energy requirements are shown in the attached data grid. I created it for your unique parameters. Ignore the negative numbers in the grid, that's a bug I need to fix. Interpret any negative number as equal to the last prior positive number
Your body will shift over from the non endurance ratios to the endurance ratios at the approximate rates shown in the attached chart:
Your unique backpacking METs are as follows:
4.0 MET – Walking at 4 mph without your 35 lb pack
5.0 MET – Walking at 4 mph with your 35 lb pack
To achieve 4 MET with your pack, you have to drop your speed to about 2 mph.
Look at the 3.9 MET row and you will see that for the first 4 hours the CHO requirement is 79%. For the next 8 hours, of a 12 hour hiking day, the CHO requirement is 21%. The fat is ramping up as the CHO is ramping down during the first 3 hours. The ramp up average of the 79% after 30min and the 21% after three hours is 50%. (4/12)*0.50 + (8/12)*0.21 = 31% CHO. You are currently planning on bringing 32% CHO. This is right on the knife edge for 4 MET. If you try and up your pace past 4 MET, the CHO requirement will prevent that from happening. Bringing any additional fat% is counter productive. You won't be able to burn any extra fat unless the CHO is also upped to the requirement for the MET. Remember that fat only burns in a CHO fire.
The pace that I like to keep on my backpacking trips keeps me in the 6 – 8 MET range. Obviously this results in a much larger CHO% requirement. The downside is that my food calorie density is not as high as yours.
This topic is highly complex and very controversial. Even among the "experts" the data is often interpreted differently from one researcher to another. What is presented here a compilation of information from several text and current scientific journals into what I hope is an easily understandable format but without the hyperbole of the mainstream media.Nov 9, 2006 at 5:19 pm #1366664
Thanks again, Richard. The charts give me a lot to think about in terms of substrate allocation as I plan my menus
for various types of trips. I am assuming that Fat, CHO, and PRO are expressed first in calories, then in percentages, PRO % being derived indirectly. I am not familiar with the PMV and P MV notations. However, the chart makes a lot of sense even without understanding them. One further line of questioning: Up until now, I have structured my daily food intake to emphasize fat and protein intake at my evening meal to avoid competition with the working muscles during hiking hours. During the day I use mostly high CHO liquids such as Hammer's Perpetuem and EFS's E3. The former is maltodextrin based with some soy protein isolate and lecithin, whereas the latter uses glucose, a good dose of electrolytes, and ~ 6 grams of amino acids(glutamine,valine, leucine, iso-leucine). Both seem to work very well for me when I'm on the move. I assume that when I stop hiking there is some sort of reverse curve in substrate utilization in the direction of a return to my basal metabolic rate, modulated by the need to repair tissue damage, replenish glycogen stores, burn off any accumulated lactic acid, among other things. So, the first thing I do when I stop is mix up a pint of EFS's Ultragen, which contains 60 grams of glucose, 20 grams of whey protein isolate, electrolytes, some vitamins(mostly B complex), and 6 grams of glutaime. The logic here is to get a headstart on glycogen replenishment while the muscles cells are particularly receptive(within 1/2 hr of ceasing exercise is my understanding). Then I set up camp and finally get down to serious eating-heavy on fat but with ample protein and carbs. The idea is to let the main thermogenic process unfold overnight, while I am at rest, creating no competition with the working muscles
and giving the added benefit of using the heat generated to warm my sleeping bag(and me). I like to think of it as putting entropy to good use. Does this approach make sense to you? Again, in the absence of any formal training, I'm sort of feeling my way, based on perusing some exercise physiology texts
along with a healthy dose of trial and error with me as the guinea pig. Another dietary idea I would like to run by you: The higher one goes, the more CHO should be used as a substrate to maintain the same performance level.
The reasoning is that O2 varies inversely with altitude and CHO metabolizes completely with less O2, i.e. 1 C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6 CO2 + 6 H2O = an exchange ratio of 1. As I understand it, the ratio for FAT and PRO is considerably less favorable,
although I can't remember the exact numbers, something like . .8 for a typical fatty acid and .7 for a typical amino acid, plus extra water to get rid of the urea resulting from PRO catabolism. Am I sort of in the ball park here. It impacts how I structure my menu because I spend a lot of time above 12000′ and there days when I know I will be going higher than that with some miles to cover. Should I consider upping the CHO % in my meals for those days?Nov 9, 2006 at 7:50 pm #1366676
I want am not formally trained in physiology. Most of my knowledge comes from having prepared for numerous expeditions. Secondarily, I am also doing some related research for my business start-up. With that caveat I will answer your questions.
This is just the acronym I assigned to a class of regression formulas I used for the calculations. What is most relevant is what's specified at the end of the label. PMV C/hr is the Calories per hour you will be burning. PMV C/hr M is your personal METs value for that level of energy expenditure.
During and immediate post endurance exercise nourishment requirements –
Both your exercise nutrition strategies are sound. Rates of glycogen synthesis may be nearly two times faster than normal in the first two hours after a workout. After this two-hour time window, the rate of glycogen formation returns to normal levels. Your immediate post exercise CHO/Pro ratio is now 3 to 1. Theoretically 4 to 1 is the optimal ratio.
Thermogenic process-
Yes but it is the protein, not the fat, that will most help keep you warm at night. Diet induced thermo genesis (DIT) is different for each nutrient based on the amount of ATP required for the initial steps of metabolism and storage. Fat is 0-3%, CHO is 5-10%, protein is 20-30%, and alcohol is 10-30% <grin>.
Altitude impact on CHO requirements-
At higher altitude, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower than at sea level. This results in the relative contribution of anaerobic glycolysis to ATP production being increased and muscle glycogen stores more rapidly depleted. Relative work intensity (% VO2max) or METs (% VO2 / %VO2max) is the main factor determining fuel selection during exercise. In other words, you can get around this problem by just maintaining your target MET level by reducing your exertion rate.Nov 10, 2006 at 3:20 am #1366702

My backpacking food philosophy is to simply find foods you don't easily tire of and don't go hungry. Unless you are doing multi-week hikes, I see no purpose in doing more than that.Nov 10, 2006 at 4:49 am #1366705
John-I agree with you. I only go through this type of food planning exercise for my multi-week expeditions.
In my case that is at least once per year for trips averaging 6 weeks in duration; most importantly I need to keep pace with some gifted athletes on the expeditions; I need to have my food purchased and shipped to my drop destinations up to a month in advance; I can only reach one of my pre-shipped food drops about every two to three weeks; and the food volume has to be small enough that I can both carry it and store it in bear resistant containers.
The only other two situations, that I can think of are; if you plan to, or are now competing, in adventure races or; if optimizing all aspects of your pack weight is enjoyable for non-multi-week trips.Nov 10, 2006 at 4:41 pm #1366765
"unless you are doing multi-week hikes, I see no purpose in doing more than that".
From my perspective, whether the hike is one day or multi-week, the principle is the same: Select your food to support the expected level of exertion you will be asking of your body. To do that, one has to understand how the mix of substrates utilized by the body varies with the intensity of the effort.
On longer trips the emphasis shifts inexorably in the direction of reduced
effort(pace) as the calories utilized will increasingly come from fat due to space considerations in one's pack. At least that has been my experience and, apparently, all the guys on the Arctic 1000. Even so, as Richard points out, fat burns in a carbohydrate flame so there always has to be a minimal amount
of CHO in the mix. On a less directly practical level, I derive a lot of satisfaction from tinkering with my hiking diet and watching how my body responds in the field. When I get it right for a given set of conditions, I'm about as close to nirvana as I'm likely to get in this life. But that's just my personal journey. Thanks to you all for contributing to my education
on this thread.

The President is vacationing with his family this week and his book list is making waves. There is much debate over the appropriateness of his chosen titles. He is receiving quite a bit of flack for choosing fiction in four of his five books. Apparently, fiction isn't appropriate in a time of national crisis.
We'll get back to that later…let's take a look at what the President is reading…
The Bayou Trilogy by Daniel Woodrell
In the parish of St. Bruno, sex is easy, corruption festers, and double-dealing is a way of life. Rene Shade is an uncompromising detective swimming in a sea of filth.
As Shade takes on hit men, porn kings, a gang of ex-cons, and the ghosts of his own checkered past, Woodrell's three seminal novels pit long-entrenched criminals against the hard line of the law, brother against brother, and two vastly different sons against a long-absent father.
THE BAYOU TRILOGY highlights the origins of a one-of-a-kind author, a writer who for over two decades has created an indelible representation of the shadows of the rural American experience and has steadily built a devoted following among crime fiction aficionados and esteemed literary critics alike. (description from cover)
Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
A sweeping, emotionally riveting first novel—an enthralling family saga of Africa and America, doctors and patients, exile and home.
Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon at a mission hospital in Addis Ababa. Orphaned by their mother's death in
childbirth and their father's disappearance, bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution. Yet it will be love, not politics—their passion for the same woman—that will tear them apart and force Marion, fresh out of medical school, to flee his homeland. He makes his way to America, finding refuge in his work as an intern at an underfunded, overcrowded New York City hospital. When the past catches up to him—nearly destroying him—Marion must entrust his life to the two men he thought he trusted least in the world: the surgeon father who abandoned him and the brother who betrayed him.
An unforgettable journey into one man's remarkable life, and an epic story about the power, intimacy, and curious beauty of the work of healing others. (description from Amazon product listing)
Rodin's Debutante by Ward Just
In Ward's solid 17th novel, a boy comes of age in mid-20th-century Chicago and tries to find a way to create art in the face of the world's harshness. Lee Goodell, an adventurous youngster, lives in New Jesper, a quiet town on the outskirts of Chicago where his father and a cabal of influential locals act as a well-meaning protectorate of the town. After the coverup of a horrific sex crime at Lee's school, the young Lee's illusions are broken, and he takes this loss of innocence with him to boarding school at the Ogden Hall School for Boys. Lee's education takes place in many arenas: the classroom, the football field, his
sculpting studio, the Chicago streets, a free clinic, and among Hyde Park intellectuals, but when the victim of the sex crime from Lee's childhood returns to find out the truth of what happened, Just creates an opportunity for Lee to recognize the confluence of all these influences on his life. Just's prose is clean and powerful, and while Lee is a bit flat—even when he's bad, he's
good—his coming-of-age is filled with rich observations and finely tuned details. (description from Publisher's Weekly)
To the End of the Land by David Grossman
Just before his release from service in the Israeli army, Ora's son Ofer is sent back to the front for a major offensive. In a fit of preemptive grief and magical thinking, so that no bad news can reach her, Ora sets out on an epic hike in the Galilee. She is joined by an unlikely companion—Avram, a former
friend and lover with a troubled past—and as they sleep out in the hills, Ora begins to conjure her son. Ofer's story, as told by Ora, becomes a surprising balm both for her and for Avram—and a mother's powerful meditation on war and family. (description from publisher)
The Warmth of Other Sons: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson
In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to
1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkerson compares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples in history. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gained access to new data and official records, to write this definitive and vividly dramatic account of how these American journeys unfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves.
With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this story through the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, who in 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi for Chicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in old age, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senate seat; sharp and quick-tempered George Starling, who in 1945 fled
Florida for Harlem, where he endangered his job fighting for civil rights, saw his family fall, and finally found peace in God; and Robert Foster, who left Louisiana in 1953 to pursue a medical career, the personal physician to Ray Charles as part of a glitteringly successful medical career, which allowed him to purchase a grand home where he often threw exuberant parties.

So…what's the big deal?
Quite honestly, I don't care what the President is reading on vacation. Reading basically does two things– imparts knowledge and provides escape. If anyone needs a little bit of escape, it is the President of the United States. I think he takes in enough information the other 23 hours of the day to allow a little bit of down time. Read to recharge!
I'm actually quite happy to see an avowed technophile reading "treeware". He could be using an e-reader, and then we'd never know if he was reading this, this or this. Not that there is anything wrong with those choices, either. After all, he is on vacation.
Read on, Mr. President!
