Todd Bodine is the reigning champion of the Camping World Truck Series. In the past six seasons, he has won two championships and never finished lower than fourth in the season standings.
Though he is coming off a third-place finish at Darlington Raceway on March 12, Bodine faces challenges in defending his 2010 championship. It remains a struggle to secure enough sponsorship for his Germain Racing Toyota.

Twenty-five years ago, many Floridians might have thought of coyotes as animals scratching out a living amid the arid landscapes of the Southwestern United States. After all, it was usually a desert mesa that Wile E. Coyote plummeted from in pursuit of the Road Runner, not the top of a cabbage palm or granddaddy oak.
But sometime in the late 1980s, biologists started documenting the movements of coyotes to the Southeastern part of the country.

When anyone approaches a reporter and says, "I have a real problem with something you wrote," most of us instantly become defensive.
We pride ourselves on reporting fact. We stand behind every word. We aspire to report what we're told accurately, and succinctly.
So when a parent came to me "with a real problem" about a sentence in a story about Chiefland finalizing its 2011 football schedule, I instantly put up a wall, ready to tackle whatever was thrown my way.

An entire country separates Morriston's Dottie Hydue from her step-daughter in California, but it hasn't deterred her from becoming an advocate to raise awareness for the need for living organ donors.
March 10 was National Kidney Day, and Hydue can't think of a better way to commemorate it than by urging people to consider becoming an organ donor.
Her stepdaughter, Tracie Skaggs, 48, suffers from kidney failure and undergoes dialysis while she waits on a matching donor.
Midseason progress reports are in for Chiefland's softball team, and only a few are getting an 'A' for effort.
The Lady Bulldog Invitational sat smack dab in the middle of Chiefland's softball schedule, with 10 games before and after the Friday-Saturday tourney in Bell.
Even though the Lady Indians (8-4 overall) won two of three games, including the consolation final to finish in third place, coach Ginger Fuller and staff were left scratching their heads.

This route is total carnage. Sooo good, but the pitches are HARD, and the approach is exhausting bushwhacking if you do it wrong. It's not rated like Squamish or the valley - way stiffer. The "5.8" chimney above the 5.12 "crux" is so much harder than anything on the route.
But it is worth doing if only for the long 5.11 dihedral (11b/c?). No stopper moves, but zero rests for 190 feet of tight hands in a steep corner. Spectacular.
Bring a 3.5 Camalot, 1 #3 (two might be nice, though not necessary), 3 #2s and doubles below that. YOu gotta build anchors, so while this seems like a lot of gear, the pitches are long and the anchors eat up gear.

|Hey Jonah i think your comments may be misguiding people. The long corner goes at 10+/11- and is only 110ft long. The crux above the roof traverse pitch is 11c (not 12a) and the trail is cleared and cairned for the most part.

"We get a lot of interesting requests, as well as questions -- like 'What time of the year do the elk turn into moose?'" -- Snake River Lodge (Jackson Hole, Wyoming)
"A guest only wanted to stay in the hotel 'if we had a fully yellow room.' Thank God we do, and he finally checked in." -- Home Hotel (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
"A bride realized four hours prior to her wedding that she got her dress dirty the night before on a drunken adventure in Seattle. It was a trip to the local dry cleaner for me -- I had to assist the dry cleaner with cleaning the wedding dress and shortly after meet the bride at the wedding venue." -- Louis Galdeira III, Concierge, Hotel Vintage Park (Seattle, Washington)
"A very affluent guest celebrating his son's bar mitzvah once requested that the concierge arrange a football pitch and the Israeli soccer team to come and play a match against his son and his friends. Our concierge was able to put him in touch with one of the largest Jerusalem soccer teams, with which they were very pleased." -- Ruth Waiman, Executive Assistant, Inbal Jerusalem Hotel (Jerusalem, Israel)
"Recently an A-list actress from a top-rated television series was staying with us and asked us to provide a personal steamer for her room. At Hard Rock Hotel San Diego, we strive to fulfill any of our guests' needs that will ensure they have a comfortable stay, so of course we had the steamer waiting in her room when she arrived. No problem, right? Except that despite being asked to leave the steamer in her room when she left, she took it with her." -- Rana Kay, Director of Public Relations, Hard Rock Hotel San Diego (San Diego, California)
"We had a guest who requested a specific room because of the effect the sun at that angle had on their aura." -- Laura Vardon, Sales Manager, The Eliot Hotel (Boston, Massachusetts)
"On several occasions we have had brides ask that we keep their butterflies in our walk-in coolers for several days prior to their wedding ceremony in our garden, when the butterflies would be released. Unfortunately for our food and beverage department and our sales staff, it is not quite as easy as 'butterflies shipped in, butterflies go in cooler, butterflies come out of cooler, container opens, butterflies are free, bride and wedding party smile with joy and happiness.' The butterfly shipping crates list specific 'thawing' instructions so the winged lovelies will be active and full of wing at just the right moment. Too long in the cooler and you have butterfly lethargy ... too much thawing time and the little lepidopteras become too active too soon and beat themselves up in the box wanting to escape." -- Bill Ott, Director of Marketing & Communications, 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa (Eureka Springs, Arkansas)The Five Worst Packing Problems and How to Solve Them
"We once had a guest that was in town for a massage therapy seminar and asked if he could give some of our associates massages so that he could practice. That was one request we had no problem granting!" -- Kelli Crean, E-Commerce Manager, The Roosevelt Hotel New York (New York, New York)
"The wackiest guest request I ever received came by email from a travel agent in Tasmania. She wanted to book a week's stay for her client, the Anglican Bishop for the State of Tasmania and his wife, and did I know of a place that [the wife] could ride a hinny? After several emails (and Googling the word 'hinny'), I was quite prepared to meet this fantastic couple. We arranged for them to visit some of our Amish neighbors, she got to visit with their mules (the closest we could come to a hinny) and they made good friends within the community. All in all, it was a wonderful visit for all of us." -- Jan Garrabrandt, Innkeeper, The Artist's Inn and Gallery (Lancaster County, Pennsylvania)
The following letter was sent to Stefanie Hrejsa, General Manager at the Days Inn Chicago, and is so special that we'll let it speak for itself:
"My baby Billy, who is a cute snorkeling piglet, is my most treasured pet that I cannot go anywhere without. ... Billy just has a little problem: every hour he likes to go outside and play with his soccer ball that he pushes around with his little snout. I tend to keep to his every hour playtime schedule because if not he'll throw a fit and oink all night. ... We want to ask if we'd be able to reserve a room near an exit door with two beds? I did forget to mention that Billy sleeps in his own bed with a fluffy pillow that he loves to lay his small pudgy head upon. By the way, it has been two years [since] Billy has had a runny accident on the bed. I admit that day he had that awful accident was my fault, because I overfed him beans with a chalupa. ... I do promise that you will not have to worry about another accident because that is the last time I would ever feed him beans and chalupas.'"

Thanks Bernie
Dear Editor,
For the past several months, I've been reading with admiration in The Wave about the work that Historian Bernie Feuer has initiated in the Rockaway community. I have had the pleasure of meeting with Bernie on a number of occasions, and I am in awe of his far-reaching knowledge of the history of our area. Bernie has inspired young artists with his recent presentation at Floyd Bennett Field; and has elicited countless early memories in his presentations to more "mature" audiences. I have also had the pleasure of watching Bernie's presentations on YouTube. Bernie, no doubt, has brought back fond cherished memories of the past for those who remember them, and has introduced a new generation of Rockaway residents to the excitement of Rockaway's history. I have to commend Bernie on his work, and hope that others in Rockaway recognize this outstanding citizen for his dedication to Rockaway's history and future.

I have heard about StriVectin for years-I worked at a pharmacy and our beauty lady always talked about it...now that I am in an office setting the stress is so much more intense-I find myself using this product when I feel like I need that pick me up-I apply it at night for a few nights and there is a visible difference-it is like it the takes the tired away-it hydrates your eyes and I am serious it takes those little lines away-the dark circles everything. I do not use an eye cream every night-but when I remember to or feel like I am dragging and need the boost I use this and it works wonders. We all have to remember our skin isn't the same-it is trial and error-but for me this product is a superstar. Soooo glad birch box sent me this in my box-over time you sort of forget about which products you love and find new ones-but this one is a keeper-now I remember why!5

Cheeseburgers for Yom Kippur...
Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, is a solemn Jewish holiday. It occurs at the beginning of the new year, and marks the end of a period of reflection. While it the usual tradition to fast, Danielle Gelfand has a moving editorial in the New York Times where she talks about a tradition she has of eating cheeseburgers on the beach with her mother as they remember her father who died many years ago of suicide. The author writes:
For the last 18 years, my mother and I have spent Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, at Tod's Point beach in Old Greenwich, Conn., near where I grew up and where my mother still lives. I'm a TV producer living in Brooklyn now, but I still go back every year. My mom reads my father's old prayer book while I order lunch for us from the greasy concession stand that stays open into the fall, double hamburgers with grilled onions and French fries.
To those who fast during the holiday, our version of a High Holy Happy Meal might seem sacrilegious, but we didn't always spend it this way. We used to go to temple like everyone else. But when I was 17, my father, who had just turned 59 and had suffered from depression for many years, shot himself in the head. The police found his body two days later, on the eve of Yom Kippur.
Do read the whole article at Years of Atonement.

[More from Mashable: Mashable Photo Challenge: What Does Family Mean to You?]
Need something to put things into perspective on a Monday morning? Our suggestion: The largest single-shot photo of Earth ever taken.
Eclipsing NASA's updated "Blue Marble" shot, which is a composite of many satellite images, this image is a single-shot taken from 22,369 miles away by Russian weather satellite Elektro-L No.1.
[More from Mashable: 30 Nostalgic Photos From Mashable Readers]
The colors on the 121-megapixel photo are quite different from the ones on NASA's photos of Earth. To capture the image, the satellite combines visible and infrared wavelengths of light. Infrared light is used to see plants, which is why the parts of the Earth that would normally be green are seen as rusty brown.
Check out a time-lapse video of Earth's norther hemisphere taken by Elektro-L below.
You can explore the zoomable version of the image here.

For history buffs, Ancient Mayan culture is a veritable treasure trove. Uncover the fascinating, ruins-filled world of the Riviera Maya by diving into this Escape to the Ocean Breeze Riviera Maya Hotel, set in a lush, flamingo-filled jungle next to the Caribbean Sea.
Escape with a fellow adventurer (you also have the option of bringing the kids; two children under the age of 8 stay and eat for free) for four nights ($667 in June and from August to December; $767 in July) to a comfortable, colorful deluxe room, appointed with a king-size bed, breezy balcony or terrace, and satellite TV. Escapees have the option of combining an unlimited number of vouchers to extend the trip to paradise.
A bottle of wine will be waiting to help you unwind, not to mention all alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are included, in addition to meals and snacks at the hotel's restaurants and bars. Also on the house? One-way ground transportation from the airport to the hotel and taxes and gratuities.
The hotel is set on a turtle and crocodile sanctuary, but when you want to trade the tree canopy for the beach, hop on a free shuttle to the sister resort next door, which boasts a sparkling pool and access to pristine stretches of white-sand shores.
Scuba and snorkeling fans will want to explore the coral along the second longest barrier reef in the world and check out one of the globe's longest underwater cave systems. Aspiring golfers can take advantage of a 25-percent discount on greens fees at the Jack Nicklaus-designed course. And those who just want to put their feet up can do so with a $50 credit for the Brio Spa.
Venture outside the resort to visit Coba, a city of ruins where you can climb Nohoch Mul, the tallest pyramid in the Yucatán. Marvel at the stunning views and wander more ruins in the ancient seaside city of Tulum, then take a dip in a cenote, a natural freshwater pool.
You might not find buried treasure, but when it comes to culture and history, you can't strike it richer than this Escape.

Published: 2014-02-03, by Manu Galvez.
Recently, Hotmail users have been prompted to upgrade to Outlook.com since Microsoft decided to unify both e-mailing service for all platforms. Thus, as it happened to the web version, Hotmail Android app isn't working anymore. Instead, Outlook.com is ready to provide an enhanced service in a triple way: simplicity, layout and smoothness.
Those are, from my humble point of view, the added-values of Outlook.com. Actually, Hotmail app was sober and ugly. Microsoft didn't dedicated too many resources to its development. However, Outlook.com feels mobile native. First, it is set in a intuitive and good-looking layout, second, main actions (read, reply, forward, compose, delete) can be performed easily, in a few tap and, finally, the app runs smoothly. No lag, no force-closes, an overall good response.
Only one catch must be mentioned: it should keep focusing on mobile native management. In other words, gestures should be added to carry out main actions, as Mailbox does: drag/swipe to delete, archive or composed e-mails, for example.
Highly recommended.

New Orleans Archdiocesan Cemeteries
Recognized by the Code of Canon Law of the Church as sacred burial ground
New Orleans Catholic Cemeteries serve our Christian faith by performing a Corporal Work of Mercy of interring the dead and ministering to the living through Christ's guidance.
When we are baptized, we are brought to a sacred place, a Catholic Church, and baptized into the mystery of Christ's death and resurrection – thus giving us the promise of eternal life. When a loved one dies, we take them to another sacred place, a Catholic cemetery, while they await the resurrection of the dead and the promise of eternal life. Burial in a Catholic cemetery is a statement of continued belief in that everlasting life promised by Jesus when he said, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die…" (Jn. 11:25)
Call 504-488-5200 or 504-482-5065 for more information or to request a quotation for Restoration and Perpetual Care. Call 504-227-3241 for new property or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Actual U. S. Debt-200 TRILLION
We are seriously screwed:
Ask questions before Tuesday.
While the debt and deficit concern me, I doubt that story. The Globe and Mail is an agenda-driven paper and I tend to doubt most anything that they publish. I'm not knowledgeable to refute what they say in detail. However, after applying a simple buck-tooth analysis I find it hard to see how any country or company can cook the books to that extent. Really? Fifteen times worse than is being reported? If that's true have the government cook the books again and make it look like we have $5T surplus? Surely the democrats would do this if they could in anticipation of the upcoming election. It simply doesn't make sense to me.
I'm glad to see that the debt and deficit are being discussed regularly these days. The last President that truly was concerned about them was Eisenhower. Bernie Madoff went to jail for the rest of his life. Nobody in the government has gone to jail because of social security - a ponzi scheme that has to be hundreds of thousands of times worse. Some say that social security is not running out of money, but I think it is or will. If you figure out what you pay into it over 40-45 years and then spread that total over 20 years (assuming you'll live that long) the yearly amount is quite small. However, the benefits statement that I receive says that I will get more than what I calculated. Since the government doesn't invest the money, how do they calculate more wealth in the system than I do? Maybe they figure I'll only live 10 years. Maybe they are cooking the books. I dont know what the answer is, but I'm awful skeptical.
I forget how much the war in Iraq is costing, but if I remember correctly it's an insane value, like 20 billion per hour or something.
Maybe they need to find a different supplier for their ammo. :o
So, is there support for him claim of $200trillion or did the guy simply pull a number out of his rear? I saw nothing supporting the number in his article.
it is 13.7 trillion Here is a google search and the link. Check it out http://www.federalbudget.com/
wait tell we get this bill from the PREZ
he is sopose to go to india . This is a google search Their is more here is the link http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...AAAqgQFT9C9Pao
US President Barack Obama's trip to India next month is set to be the biggest ever by any US president in terms of the protocol and logistics.
Headlines Today accessed the details of elaborate arrangements that will be in place to guard Obama. He will be accompanied by US first lady Micehlle Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha.
Earlier, Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia were not to be part of the trip. But sources revealed that Michelle's opinion prevailed and now the girls would accompany the first American couple to India.
The US president will make a historic trip to the Taj Mahal along with his family. His visit is historic in terms of logistics which is the largest ever for a visiting US president.
Elaborate security arrangements
The presidential entourage will have 40 aircraft, including the Air Force One that will ferry the president. There will be six armoured cars, including four Barack Mobiles and a Cadillac.
Cadillac is equipped with a mini communication centre to enable Obama to be in touch with the White House, US vice president and the US strategic command. It also has the US nuke launch codes and it can withstand a chemical or germ warfare and a bomb attack.
Two secret service command posts will be set up in Delhi and Mumbai to act as the communication nerve centres. These will monitor the president's movement with real time satellite monitoring.
Three Marine One choppers will be reassembled in India to ferry the president and his family and to evacuate them in case of any emergency.

This will make your head spin.
Income tax, sales tax, gasoline tax, property tax, vehicle tax, cigarette tax, alcohol tax, and so on are paid by individuals. Even corporate taxes are paid by individuals since corporations simply add their tax bill to their operating costs. Wherever taxes are levied, we individuals will pay them. Costs are always passed on to the purchaser. Try to figure out what all of the taxes listed above cost you - you might just surprise yourself. Even if you are in the 48% that don't pay federal taxes, you still pay taxes through gas purchases, toll road fees, tag fees, etc, etc. In fact, I've read before where social security is considered a privilege by the federal government (although I can't say that it is or is not with certainty).
Scary stuff.
This is scary enough:
10. Government Political Bomb(s). We have a Dysfunctional 2-Party System which has been infiltrated by progressives on both sides. There hasn't been a socialist born who understands real-world economics. They continue to believe that money grows on trees in their fantasyland utopias. Then add the insatiable Washington Lobbyist Machine of special interests/unions/big banks, the Homeland Insecurity Bomb including military spending (Iraq & Afghanistan at $3 trillion), and the Coming Populist Tax Revolt Bomb
But the godzilla bomb is lurking: The Plutonium Shadow Banking Derivative Bomb.
In 2008, the Fed freaked out over a paltry $100 billion in debts that were sloshing around the Wall Street "investment banking" gambling houses. Lehman Brothers popped first, followed by a dozen more. Then AIG went poof trying to pay off a little bitty $150 billion in banking derivative "guarantees". The Treasury quickly poured in money to seal the leaking dam, slowing the flow to a trickle.
But now global banking derivatives have expanded to over $670 trillion. Since the entire world's GDP is only $50 trillion, when this bubble pops, it will consume 13 years of the all money everywhere..
It isn't going to happen. We'll reboot the entire system before that. There will be winners (people who owe money and own gold) and losers (people who keep their assets in the bank and stock market). Instant millionaires will be made overnight; old millionaires will be made penniless. Which group will you be in?
how can the debt get paid off ??? we have nothing to sell other countries. No factory's like back in i guess 1950-1960 we had factory's and didn't need to import very little . Than a prez open up the free trade and their went all the factory's . So now we buy and inport their goes the defect get's higher. It will never go down . I belive we will be owned by a oversea's country . We contenu to borrow money from japan we get deper indebt? No botton I heard this yrs ago that japan would own the usa with firing a shot?? my 2cent's if worth that much inflation here is a link
It truly bothers me how the national debt is tossed around as a political tool; calling it a debt is a borderline misnomer. Yeah, it's money owed to other entities, but not in the same sense as credit cards or mortgages.
Voting today
We have 3 issues we can vote on to reduce taxes
I'm voting yest to reduce taxes on all 3 items
it is no different than you going to the bank to borrow money to do something. You owe the money, they hold the note. The US nat'l debt is constructed in the same manner.

Discussion questions for kids to bring up with adults
Making the jump from elementary school to middle school can be scary at first, and you probably have lots of questions you want answered. Your parents and older siblings have been through it before, so they can help you a lot. Here are some questions to help you talk about it and get some valuable insight.
How will I find time to get all my homework and studying done?
What kinds of new responsibilities will I have now that I'm in middle school?
Will teachers expect a lot more out of students now?
Can I get involved with school teams and clubs, even if it means staying at school longer?
Will gym class be tougher in middle school?
Will there be time to have fun with my friends?
Will there be chances to make new friends?
Who should I talk to at school if I'm having a problem with something?
--Be honest about what makes you anxious or nervous about starting middle school. Your folks may have advice that can help you cope.
--If you have older brothers or sisters, they can put many of your fears to rest, and let you in on how fun and exciting starting middle school can be!

"New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora has been making
the headlines lately with his open criticism of General Manager Jerry Reese and his contract
situation. The same thing happened last offseason as well, where Osi threatened
to hold out if he wasnt given a new contract. Ultimately, Osi got on the field
and played football and the Giants won a Super Bowl. Now, Osi is back at it,
opening his mouth to everyone that walks by him about how Reese lied to him and
that he was promised a new contract. Osi became angry when the Giants gave Mathias Kiwanuka a three-year contract
extension and has come out and said the Giants are making him out to look
like a greedy pig.
The back and forth between Osi and Reese is purely a case of he-said,
she-said and Reese has publicly stated that Osis words will not play a role in
the Giants trying to re-sign him, something the Giants are trying to do. This
is the right move by Reese. There is no need to engage in a verbal tug-of-war
with one of your best players. Let him vent. It means nothing. If this is the
biggest distraction the Giants face as they gear up to defend their Super Bowl
title then so be it. That is a very good problem to have, a player who wants to
stay with the team, wants to get paid for being one of the best at his position,
and who wont sulk on the field if he doesnt get his way.
Umenyiora has been an integral part of a defense that has led the Giants to
two Super Bowl Championships in five years. He has made two Pro Bowl
appearances in 2005 and 2007 and was named to two All-Pro teams in 2005 (first
team) and 2010 (second team, Associated Press). He has been in the top ten in
sacks three times and is currently 13th on the active sacks leader
list. In 2010, Osi had 10 forced fumbles, a league record, and is one of the
best in the NFL at the strip-sack where he gets the quarterback to fumble the
football. He has 30 forced fumbles in his career. Every team in the NFL needs
a player like Osi Umenyiora. His on-field production has been fantastic, there
is no question. This past season he only played in 9 games as a result of
injury but still recorded 9 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. He added another 3.5
sacks and one forced fumble in the Playoffs. Osi is one of the best defensive
ends in football.
Osis problem is Osi. He has a big mouth. He isnt the first football
player to open his mouth too often and he wont be the last. Football players
have a short career, especially when it comes to maximizing their earnings
potential. They want to get paid and they want it immediately. That is
understandable, especially in a league where few dollars are guaranteed. You
could sign a huge, eight-year contract this year and be cut in two years and
never see a dime beyond what you have already made. Football is a merciless
game both on and off the field.
Reese has publicly stated that the Giants are, a better football team with
Osi Umenyiora on our team. We respect him as a football player. So our goal is
to have Osi play football for the New York Giants and retire a Giant. Those
words might be PR but they are also true. The Giants are a better football team
with Osi Umenyiora. Reese should be working towards a contract extension with
one of his best players. It is only logical. Words mean nothing. Osi went out
there last season and played hard when he was healthy. In the nine games he
played in, he recorded three multi-sack games and added another one in the
playoffs against Green Bay. He has the ability to absolutely dominate a game
with his ability to get to the quarterback and cause him to fumble the
The New York Giants are a better football team with Osi Umenyiora. The
Giants are at their best when they get unrelenting pressure on the quarterback
and they have some of the best in the game at being able to do that. With
Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul, Mathias Kiwanuka, and Osi able to
line up in various packages on the defensive front few teams are able to stop
them. You cant double team everyone. Last season, despite injuries hampering
Osi and Tuck, the Giants placed third in the NFL with 48 sacks behind the
Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia
Eagles who both had 50. Had Tuck and Osi not been dealing with
nagging injuries, the Giants probably would have led the NFL in that category.
That is how good this defensive front is. The Giants dont need to rely on
schemes and blitzes because their front four at any given moment can bust
through the offensive line and make your quarterback regret being born. That is
an effective weapon to have but the Giants must make sure they have all of the
bullets for their weapon and Osi is a part of that ammunition.
The Giants need Osi and Osi needs the Giants. He fits the system and I think
everyone on that defensive front benefits from each other. If Osi were to leave
as a free agent he might be able to get more money but I dont think his
production would be as good as it has been with the Giants. What is happening
right now is just talk. Osi has done it before and I am sure he will do it
again. He isnt hurting anyones feelings. He might be aggravating some fans
who might see him as ungrateful but I honestly cant say I blame him for wanting
more money or a little security moving forward. Who doesnt want job security?
The only difference is Osi has microphones stuck in his face and writers who
follow his Twitter account and report his musings as news. I have confidence
the Giants and Osi will reach an agreement on a new contract and Osis mouth
will only be yapping at offensive linemen and quarterbacks."

One way in which men and women differ is in their expression of liver proteins that control a large number of whole-body processes such as energy generation and lipid and steroid hormone production and turnover.
Now, Walter Wahli and colleagues, at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, have identified a new mechanism underlying this differential expression of proteins in male and female mice. The research appears in the Sept. 1, 2009 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
The protein PPAR-alpha is able to enter the nucleus, where it acts to control the expression of a large number of genes. In the study, PPAR-alpha was found to repress the expression of many liver genes responsible for making proteins involved in immunity and steroid production and turnover only in female mice. One of the genes most strongly repressed in female mice by PPAR-alpha was Cyp7b1, which generates a protein involved in drug breakdown and the generation of cholesterol, steroids, and other fats. Detailed analysis revealed the mechanism by which PPAR-alpha repressed Cyp7b1 expression, it was modified by a process known as sumoylation.
Importantly, this only occurred in female mice. As PPAR-alpha–mediated repression protected female mice from estrogen-induced intrahepatic cholestasis, the most common liver disease during pregnancy, the authors suggest that PPAR-alpha agonists might provide a new approach to prevent this disease.

Piccante Pizza is coming to 2120 18th Street in Adams Morgan. 18th Street is a pretty competitive pizza spot with over a half dozen spots already. It'll be interesting to see if this spot can differentiate itself from the others. But look how happy it'll make you:
11 Comment
there might just be a niche between alberto's at the high end and jumbo slice at the low, low end.
Isn't Alberto's just Jumbo Slice with rosemary sprinkled on top?
With a $28 pricetag? Why, yes. Yes it is.
I'm going venture a guess that a pizza place that uses stock imagery of burgers, wings and white girls eating pizza to advertise its opening is not going to be worth going out of your way to try.
Alberto's is crap. I'd rather have the low-end original old fashioned jumbo slice from Pizza Mart.
Um, yeah, what SV said.
well, school is back in session so we need all the pizza joints we can get. can we petition for more liquor licenses, too? hate to have the kiddies run out of booze while they are wrecking the neighborhood.
kind of agree with sv. the lack of imagination demonstrated by the poster and food offerings beyond pizza are not things that make me want to come running.
Don't forget Pi…it's an actual pizza place, with places to sit down and wine to drink…and the pizza's pretty good too…
Alas, this new joint, the neighborhood could do without.
Alberto's was my favorite DC pizza! People are weirdly picky.
I simply love this $5 special of a renovation job. Are those walls plastic panels?
It's like flyer 'designed' in Word with clipart of remodeling jobs!
Me love.
Hey SV, U Street girl, New Hampy, and Christopher, you judgmental graphic design snobs — as soon as you move across the ocean to a foreign continent with your young family, raise enough capital to start up your own business in an already flooded market, make the best quality product that you can afford to given the financial constraints of the situation, and be so dedicated and hard-working that you not only run the business end of everything, monitor the staff and buy all the supplies, but also make the pies and actually deliver them door-to-door yourself, let us all know, you snotty little elitist pricks.
At that point I'll take my high-end laptop, jump on a local hipster blog while sipping my macchiato in whichever Third Wave coffeeshop has the most cred that week, and start spouting off about something as terribly important as one's advertising budget and whether or not there's a smiling white girl in the ad. I thoroughly look forward to overlooking any consideration of the quality of your product or honesty of your enterprise, and instead making snide jokes at your expense based exclusively on superficialities.
In the meantime, enjoy your smug self-satisfaction and unearned conveniences, and please steer clear of the real people who contribute to society, you self-absorbed judgmental dicks.

Apple's next-gen iPhone — and the much-talked about (but yet unseen) iPad mini — are some of the most hotly anticipated gadgets of the year. And according to a report by relatively on-point KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the new iPhone and iPad mini will launch in September.
Thus far, we've heard that the iPhone 5 will have a larger 4.08-inch display maintaining the same width as current models, at 640 pixels. TechCrunch has also confirmed — along with Reuters more recently — that the new iPhone will replace its original 30-pin connector dock with a 19-pin mini port.
The iPad mini, on the other hand, is said to be the same thickness as the iPod touch 4G, with a screen measuring 7.85-inches. He expects that iPad mini sales should hit 1.8 million units during the time its available (1-2 weeks) in Q3.

Commedia dell'Arte invented the modern professional theatre.
It disappeared long time ago, when the Roman Empire, that was embracing Christianity, fell into a sort of religious-cultural revolution, which erased all that was entertainment and the concept of show itself.
There is an 'empty time', which reduced to its lowest terms by prolonging the agony of the Roman professional theatre and by going back to the very early origin of the Commedia, goes from 400 A.D. to 1530. During these thousand hundred thirty years, professional theatre did not exist; all memories about it were lost and so was the concept. Theatre itself made sporadic appearances, only to be "reinvented" as an extension of the official liturgy for religious purposes. There were also secular forms of comedy of course; farce among all genres.
The term 'Mercenary', 'Zannesca', 'Improvised', 'Italian' or 'dell'Arte' – which all precede the word 'Commedia' that stands for 'Theatre' – represents a new starting point for professional acting, a permanent one, which invented the actor and the actress as well; figures that both spend their lives trying to get their Audience to laugh (yes: ENTERTAINING!).
Modern professional theatre was invented without any expectations of being "supported" - nowadays "funded" - by whatsoever institution. They were simply asking for money. They were selling a product/service and they were asking to get paid for it. Today things are terribly different: however, that was and remains the only principle that can guarantee continuity of the project, its existence, its survival.
Commedia dell'Arte actors were selling the pleasure of enjoying a well-crafted story, performed by a great and highly skilled theatre company. Intervals were filled with songs and dances by the very same actors, which were also selling products of all kinds, just to earn some extra money.
With very few exceptions, art has never turned any of its most devoted promulgators into a millionaire. However, the versatility of the actors allowed them to produce a lot, anything, always, constantly and tirelessly: they produced Art, Craft, Culture; and by doing so they were able to support themselves.
By constantly producing and selling great, beautiful, respectable products, Commedia dell'Arte actors have marked a significant part of European societies for at least three centuries.

How Depression Can Effect The Way You Look

So, you decided that you want to get more involved with beauty. That is a very good decision. There are many techniques that you can master, and they just require a bit of skill. Do you feel confident about applying products properly? These tips will help you to apply products in the correct manner.

If possible, think about buying more than one container of each product you like to use, whether a powder, blush or lip gloss. You should have these in handy places like a desk drawer at your office so the other can be at home. This is a great way to stay prepared in case you need to reapply your makeup.

To make your eyelash curler work even better, give it a blast of hot air from your blow dryer, but let it cool slightly before using it on your lashes. The heat will help to set the curl so your lashes stay defined longer than they would with a cold curler.

It's important to take care of skin and to be healthy so you can be more beautiful. One of the most important things to do is reduce dry skin on your face. It is good habit to use a lotion on your body at least once a day. Use it twice if you have the time.

Wash your makeup utensils to reduce blemishes on your skin. Fill a bowl with water and a gentle shampoo, and rub the bristles of the brushes together in the water. Rinse the brushes well, and towel-dry them. This avoids makeup getting caked in the bristles, as well as getting rid of the potential of harmful bacteria which may cause acne.

Project confidence. It's important that you are confident in yourself so that you feel beautiful. When you have good self-confidence people can see it from the outside.

Always go through your makeup at least once a month. It is not uncommon to have older, expired makeup products lurking in makeup bags, and these are breeding grounds for bacteria. They can cause infections, especially if you have any open wounds or get injured. Check your makeup stash regularly to make sure there are no expired products.

For a concealer, make use of the foundation stuck to the container's cap. If you no longer have concealer but need some, use the makeup right under your foundation's cap. That makeup will work well to conceal because it covers imperfections, and it is thick.

Symmetry is beautiful. Try to maintain your symmetry when striving for beauty. This works for putting on your makeup, trimming up your beard or mustache or anything else.

Are you considering using a more dramatic eye liner? If so, try a liquid eyeliner. You can be very creative with this liner; your eyes will stand out. When you choose a brush, use one with angled bristles, small enough for clean lines and good results.

If you were reading this article, you were probably interested in learning more about beauty. Surely your knowledge of beauty has increased and you know how to properly use beauty products. That's terrific! Use the tips as needed and review them if you forget anything. Be sure to enjoy yourself, as well.

No Cost Savings for Small Businesses Switching to VoIP?
September 24, 2009
It's hard to believe that at a time when cost savings are most vital for any business, and especially those smaller operations, that Voice over IP technology is still not in place for some.
Many of these smaller businesses yet to make the switch to VoIP are still feeding into misconceptions about the technology, built to keep them paying for costly, less advanced landline services.
To help uncover the top 5 myths keeping companies from making the switch away from their old phone systems, business VoIP provider Nextiva offers a new white paper, "5 Myths that Keep Small Business Hooked on Old Phone Systems."
The first myth, according to the white paper, is that the cost savings when making the switch to VoIP are minimal. Believing this myth can push small businesses away from the idea of VoIP all together - when in reality cost savings of at least 50 percent compared to traditional phone systems can be realized.
Some of these saving can even reach as much as 80 percent over traditional phone systems thanks to free or greatly reduced local and long distance calling.
Another significant factor small business must consider is that using a VoIP phone service eliminates costs associated with the maintenance, moving and adding of equipment or services on-site – resulting in up to 30 percent or more in cost savings.
Nextiva offers Business VoIP solutions that transform the way small businesses communicate. The company's affordable hosted VoIP service, Connect360, starts at just around $20 a month and includes IVR, voicemail, dial-by-name, call transfer, find me/ follow me, and a host of other features larger businesses were once only able to attain.
For more, check out the Business VoIP channel on business-voip.

I have been told I have a great body, I just need a larger chest for the commercial modeling world. I do car/swimsuit modeling. I was a track champion in high school and never developed much breast tissue since I had almost no body fat and more testosterone then most girls. (my mom has D's) My measurements are currently 35-27-38, I want to feel more 'evened out'. Any suggestions?
Model Looking to Get Breast Implants, What Size? (photo)

Breast size
Dear Shanbuh,
I agree with you that you have a great body and that your breasts are disproportionately small. From the pictures your breast look like a size A or small A. Your decision regarding the size depends on your activity and life style. If you are still involved in track , you should limit your size to full B or small C. The implant size based on you chest circumference of 35 inches should range between 250cc to 300cc. For a C cup, which is very nice size a 350cc will do. A more sexy look of full C or small D will require 400cc to 450cc. Be sure to consult with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.
Best of luck,
Dr Widder

Implant Selection Process
In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

Candidate for Breast Augmentation
You are the ideal candidate for a breast augmentation, but you need to make sure that this is what you want - not just for modeling. This is a decision about your body that you need to be comfortable with and want.
Otherwise, this is a procedure that has made many women very happy. Especially those in your situation.
You should see a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a formal opinion through and in-person consultation.

Breast implant size for a model
Great question, Shanbuh! First of all, it's important to make sure that you are getting breast implants because you want them, and not because an agent, photographer, boyfriend, etc, is telling you to get implants. It's your body, not theirs, so you need to do what is best for you. You mentioned you were a track star in high school ... if you're still very active, you need to take this into consideration before having surgery. Having said that, if you are getting implants because you want them, then I highly recommend you meet with at least one board certified plastic surgeon. The surgeon will take multiple measurements of your breasts and your chest and have a detailed discussion with you about your goals and desires. Then, the two of you together can make a plan for you. I hope this helps and wish you all the best!
Breast Implants For A Model
Dear Shanbuh,
Thank you for sharing your photos but it is hard to provide you with a solid advice without a consultation.
Nonetheless, I agree with you that a breast augmentation will make your body more proportionate.
As for the size of your implants, I encourage you to seek a consultation with a BOARD CERTIFIED surgeon of extensive experience who will provide you with commendable results and will help you come up with a well informed decision.
The best of wishes to you and thank you for your inquiry.

What size Implants
This is the second most important decision for you to make (after the selection of a board certified plastic surgeon). trying on implants is a realistic approach to size. A prestated brassier cup size is only aproximate as all 34C bras don't fit the same nor do patients wear them the same way. What looks great is important not a cup size.
Model looking for breast implants, what size?
Thank you for your question. The first step is to find a board certified plastic surgeon, you can get the information from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website. Get a consultation. More than one if necessary. During the consultation, look for the before and after photos, take photos with you of what you want to look like. Try and decide, what shape, size and type of implants. The plastic surgeon will advise you about what can be achieved.
Breast implants
It is best to go for a consultation. During the consultation an exam will help determine what is best for your body habitus and a discussion of your goals will guide the final decision. Good luck!
See two or more board-certifed plastic surgeons before deciding to get breast implants.
Thank you for your question and the photos.
Getting sized for breast implants is much more involved than it seems at first thought. It requires a full consultation with detailed questions to see exactly what your goals are, short and long term. It also requires precise measurements of your current breast dimensions and the dimensions of your chest wall as well as preoperative photography, standard or 3D imaging.
To see what the best options are for you, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

text: With a mixture of flavours, it's hard to beat the Felix Chunks in Gravy range, and our three cats think it's taste-a-licious! The gravy base gives them a nice flavour to enjoy, and I'm happy to know they're getting good moisture in their diet, too. Every mealtime sees them waiting for their bowls to be filled, and I know that they are thriving on it because they are always active and energetic. Maybe a bit too energetic when it comes to Finley leaping up trees, Kitty the resident mouse-catcher adding to her score, and Amy being a flying squirrel with her very fluffy tail. Best of all, it's easy to use and to serve, with practical easy-to-open packaging, and they know that rustling sound says "dinnertime"!

Always serve cheese at room temperature, not cold from the refrigerator. In order to ensure the emergence of its full flavor, always take the cheese out of the refrigerator early enough for it to come to room temperature. Depending on the hardness of the cheese, this could take about an hour in cool weather, or in hot weather, as little as 30 minutes. Hard cheeses take longer to come to room temperature than soft ones. When you take it out, leave the cheese wrapped so that the exposed surfaces don't dry out. Just before you're ready to serve the cheese, unwrap it and throw the wrapping away. Never use the same wrapping twice—it won't reseal properly.
For serving, I like to present each cheese on a small wooden cutting board, piece of marble, or plate, rather than forcing two, three, or four cheeses to share one big platter. If you put them all together, soft cheeses may run into each other; also, the aromas intermingle and it's hard to differentiate between them. What's more, big plates often aren't completely flat, and cheese must lie flat in order to be easily cut. That's why I prefer flat, sturdy, individual cutting boards rather than plates, which tend to be tippy. If you don't have small cutting boards or marble slabs, then use a big cutting board and keep the cheeses as far away from each other as possible.
It's best—although I confess to occasionally breaking this rule—to have a separate knife for each cheese. The radical me suggests you gather up all the specialized cheese tools you have in the house and throw them away. Those ridiculous Scandinavian cheese planes --toss them out. They are as injurious to cheese, and just as insulting, as the Stilton "scoop" tool. How on earth can you rewrap the concave husk that remains? Cheese planes, while seemingly novel in design and a cinch to use, are in reality wasteful (they create great valleys in the cheese's face) and in many cases flimsy and/or shoddy in manufacture. However, they can be useful at a retail cheese counter for trimming away dryness and/or discoloration. The other cutesy cheese tools with decorative handles and the like are not so good either. They are invariably flimsy and dangerously dull.
To cut any cheese properly—hard or soft —use a good chef's knife (a good all-purpose utility knife). To cut soft, fresh cheese such as chevre cleanly, use a length of tautly stretched dental floss.

USA-Cuba Box Score | Pan American Games Qualifier Schedule
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico --Trailing, 1-0, through three innings and a rain delay that stretched much of the day, the USA Softball Women's National Team battled back to claim a 5-1 victory over Cuba on Monday in the Pan American Games Qualifier.
Tennessee's Raven Chavanne and Lauren Gibson each contributed to Team USA's comeback. Chavanne was 1-for-2 with one RBI and Gibson was 1-for-4 with one run scored. Valerie Arioto had two hits and two RBIs to help lead the American's surge after the rain delay. The game started at 9 a.m. ET and did not conclude until 7:27 p.m.
Team USA will next face Colombia on Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. ET.
Cheridan Hawkins earned the win after striking out three and allowing one earned run over three innings. Sara Nevins pitched four scoreless relief innings with six strikeouts.
Cuba's Yilliam Torres Bargas took the loss after allowing three earned runs over five innings. Marlen Bubaire Benitez gave up two more earned run in one relief frame.
Cuba took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Yarisleidis Casanova Dominguez hit a two-out, RBI single to plate Yanitza Aviles Feitas from second base.
Team USA's offense stalled through first three innings before rain settled in and forced the teams to depart the field for some time.
Play resumed at 6:10 p.m. ET. Gibson sparked the USA offense in the bottom of the fourth, hitting a leadoff single. Two batters later, Gibson advanced on a passed ball and Arioto drove her in with an RBI double to knot the game at 1-1. Arioto scored in the next at-bat when Lauren Chamberlain drew a walk, giving the U.S. a 2-1 edge.
In the bottom of the fifth, Arioto came up big again, hitting a two-out, RBI single to plate pinch runner Rhea Taylor from second base.
Team USA added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and runners on second and third, Michelle Moultrie had an RBI sac hit to plate Taylor Hoagland. Chavanne followed with an RBI single to plate Lindsey Ziegenhirt from third base.

At the end of her Christmas broadcast in 1973, the Queen wanted to say something about the experience that the nation was going through. The three-day week would begin in a matter of days, after a catastrophic year for Edward Heath's government. Some people were openly discussing the possibility of a military government to take charge of a situation which had got out of control. The Palace suggested that the Queen might say something, as a postscript, about her "deep concern" about the "special difficulties Britain is now facing". An understatement: Heath vetoed it.
The Palace came back with a much blander sentiment: "Christmas is so much a family occasion that you would not wish me to harp on these difficulties." Heath again refused. As Francis Wheen tells us in his history of the 1970s, Strange Days Indeed, the gap was finally filled with "Princess Anne's wedding photos instead".
Princess Anne married the first of her two husbands in 1973, an occasion I can vividly remember for its disappointing qualities. Even to an eight-year-old of romantic tendencies, the Princess's horrid hair-helmet, determined expression and Dalek-like skirt was hard to reconcile with the expression "fairytale romance" which was being used everywhere. Still, it was an interesting contrast to the other national events of the time, manifest in a child's life through exciting power cuts and an overwhelming general apprehension, filtering down from adults' conversations, of Stuff Going Wrong Everywhere.
Royal weddings have been regarded as everyone's business probably only since the First World War. In 1923 the Queen's parents, then the Duke and Duchess of York, may have been the first to have their nuptials paraded for public reasons. Before then, it did not seem at all obvious to Queen Victoria that the marriages of most of her children were occasions for public celebration. After a terrible war with Germany, it suited the government to celebrate the fact that one of the Windsors, as they now were, was marrying someone other than a German princess for a change. The marriage of the Duke and Duchess of York was a useful stately festivity in that post-war period when the British authorities were consumed with dread of revolution. Similarly, the birth of their daughter, Princess Elizabeth, took the nation's mind off the General Strike three years later.
Since then, the royal wedding has, by chance or design, often been exploited for this one purpose: to take your mind off your troubles. In 1947, Princess Elizabeth's wedding to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten was a flourish of expense and glamour in a ruined London – the wedding breakfast had to be based on off-the-ration partridges from the royal estates. Sacrificial nylons arrived in their hundreds as gifts; much was made of the dusty state of the jewels that visiting royals wore. The nervous Queen of Sweden had a note in her bag in case she got lost or abducted, reading "I am the Queen of Sweden".
And then, after the three-day-week festivity of Princess Anne's first wedding, there was the Prince of Wales's in 1981. It came as the centrepiece of a summer of violence and disaffection. Caught in the painful throes of economic readjustment and rampant youth unemployment, Brixton rioted on 11 April. On 3 July, Toxteth in Liverpool followed; on the 10th Handsworth in Birmingham. On 29 July, Prince Charles married the 20-year-old Lady Diana Spencer in the most vulgar dress of the century, and our minds were successfully diverted – at any rate, there were no more riots for the moment. The royal wedding is, surely, an offer of amusement when things start to look really quite grim. "Well," as the unsuccessful prostitute said to a prospective punter. "It might not be much of a good time. But at least it'll take the weight off your feet."
Well, there was a riot the other day, with Molotov cocktails thrown in Piccadilly. And the country is bankrupt. And we are coming to the end of a not very successful war. So it seems about time to wheel out a prince and his girl and declare a bank holiday. Whether the country is in the mood for these things any more is not clear. Or perhaps England has become the sort of place where festivities are enjoined by the state, and simultaneously made far too difficult to undertake.
When Prince William marries Catherine Middleton on 29 April, there will certainly be an outbreak of enthusiasm in the streets of London. But it looks as if there will be no great number of traditional street parties.
A third of local authorities have had no applications at all. Does this reflect a general lack of interest? Do people think that Miss Middleton's enthusiasm for marrying in an upwards direction has been rather too apparent from the start? Or is it simply that since 1981, when the Prince's parents married, the local authorities that have to approve street parties have found such a lucrative source of income in handling health-and-safety applications and other opportunities for control that, nowadays, only the most dedicated could really be bothered?
Perhaps the Prince's own lack of enthusiasm for a public spectacle, barely disguised, is not very encouraging. He has done the brisk, unromantic thing that many people do nowadays, and ask for donations to charity in lieu of wedding gifts. He has said he would much prefer a wedding with 50 chums. And who can blame him? When you think of the people that have to be invited to an event of this sort – the President of Ghana, and Eric Pickles, and remote cousins called things like Foo-Foo von Hesse-Darmstadt-Sonderburg-Glucksburg, 946th in line to the throne – it doesn't sound like the best day of your life. Anyway, they've made a stand by not asking Auntie Fergie, which is something, I suppose.
That lack of enthusiasm from the lovely pair may have infected the public somewhat. Or possibly – just possibly – the country may be growing out of the whole lunacy altogether. Memories of what happened the last few times the BBC's commentators were permitted to descant over fairy-tale weddings of this sort are still relatively fresh, as are the details of each royal divorce.
And perhaps we have rather got to the point where deference and admiration are offered to people who have actually earned it. It may well be that people will want to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next year in respect for a long task, undertaken with honour and dedication. Prince William seems a nice enough fellow. His fiancée has pleasant hair, the experts inform me, and I saw her holding a bouquet and smiling in quite a professional manner the other day. But have either of them achieved as much in their lives so far as, I don't know, Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley? It seems possible that quite a lot of the English are thinking: "I tell you what – come back in 20 years' time, and we'll tell you what we think."
There is still about enough magic paint left in the tin to coat the heir to the heir to the throne. On 29 April, the viewing figures will be immense; the turnout substantial. Whether public enthusiasm will stretch much beyond that – to Prince William's brother or his cousins – is unlikely. Put it like this: it's more than probable that we're never going to turn out again for the wedding of a Prince Andrew. It's perfectly incredible now that we ever did.

King's School headmaster Tony Sissons had no idea he was being considered for an international fellowship until he was told he would be spending 10 weeks next year studying in some of the world's most admired schools.
Mr Sissons is the latest recipient of the Woolf Fisher Award, which will see him studying school systems in the United States, Canada and Britain - including a nine-day course at the Harvard Principals Centre in Boston.
The original Woolf Fisher Fellowships were awarded in 1960 and were designed to send leading educators overseas to observe teaching practices.
The unique aspect of the awards is that applications are not invited. Instead, trustees search the country for deserving education leaders.
Yesterday, Mr Sissons told the Herald he found out about the award a month ago but had to keep it quiet until it was revealed at an assembly at the Remuera school last week.
"I had no idea at all. It's very humbling and definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Woolf Fisher left a wonderful legacy to education."
Mr Sissons said he would use the opportunity to study leadership.
"I'm really looking forward to exploring in greater depth the concept of leadership in education. There's a lot more that has been written and researched in that area and I'm interested in that."
The fellowship is flexible and allows people to change their focus and explore other directions.
Mr Sissons said the community and student response to the announcement had been amazing.

"Glory is short-lived. Only renown lasts." Pierre Francois Pascal Guerlain, founder of Guerlain
Now part of the established stable of French luxury goods, Guerlain was ahead of the curve from the beginning, opening a beauty shop on the fashionable rue de Rivoli. Pierre Francois Pascal Guerlain, a physician and chemist, opened his first boutique in 1828, on the ground floor of the Hotel Meurice. The boutique drew celebrities of the day, including Marchioness de Girardin and Lord Seymour.
Devotees were fixated by the success of Eau de Cologne Imperiale (1858), which became a favourite of the French court, and earned Guerlain the title of His Majesty's Official Perfumer. Guerlain created scents for the leading royalty of the time, including Queen Isabella of Spain and Queen Victoria of England. Alongside house creations like soap and creams, the boutique stocked the leading skin creams and cosmetics of the day, creating a unique one stop beauty shop for Parisians. In 1870, Guerlain created the first lipstick, with a refillable container and push-up mechanism.
His sons, Aime and Gabriel continued on the tradition of perfume creation, creating Fleur d'Italie (1884), Rococo (1887) and the very popular Jicky (1889), the world's first scent to combine natural and synthetic ingredients. The link with celebrity continued as exclusive scents were created for actresses Sarah Bernhardt, Cecile Sorel and Jane Harding. Third generation Jacques Guerlain took on the 20th century creating Jasmin, Eau de fleurs de Cedrat and Coque d'Or as well as Lynx kohl pencil and Rose Lip Bengale lipstick. In 1925, the creation of Shalimar with its Art Deco style bottle was shown at the annual Decorative Arts Exhibition in 1925.
"We make what we know how to make and we sell what we make." Pierre Francois Pascal Guerlain
As a venerable house, Guerlain has stayed ahead of the trend, creating scents and beauty products that reflect the time – Vol de Nuit (1933) inspired by writer Saint-Expury, Teint Dore par le Soeil, a sunless tanning product (1938), reflecting the preference for the glow on summer on skin year round, and the first beauty salon on the Champs Elysees (1939) with furniture from Jean-Michel Franck and art from Giacometti. At the end of World War II, American soldiers lined up to purchase Guerlain scents and Scarlet blusher to bring to their sweethearts.
With the fourth generation came the creation of Vetiver (1959), Chant d'Aromes (1962) and Chamade (1965). Infused with the youthful joy of the decade, Guerlain opened a boutique on the Left Bank and during the 1970s, the launch of Parure (1975) embodied the ultra-feminine freedom of the time. In the 1980s, with a focus on makeup, came the creation of Terracotta, a powder to add a sun kissed glow to skin, becoming a sought-after must for every woman's makeup kit. Guerlain also introduced Meterorites (1987), a loose powder to enhance any complexion. The 1990s were dedicated to skin care, with the expansion of the Issima collection as well as the continued creation of perfumes, such as Cherry Blossom and the Aqua Allegoria collection.
The 21st century continues the legacy of 180 years of Guerlain success, with seven boutiques outside France (Canada, Japan, US, Russia), over 300 fragrances and continuing the tradition of unique cosmetics, and skincare. Spring 2009 from Guerlain will see the introduction of the Terracotta 2009 collection, Rouge G lipstick de Guerlain, infused with synthetic rubies and La Petite Robe Noir, the latest fragrance infused with rose and licorice.
