While the city's weather of frozen sleet and dank skies might have left something to be desired, the clothes themselves were less depressing.
Emporio is the diffusion - or cheaper and younger - label of the Armani empire and it is generally the place where the still perma-tanned designer has more fun, dripping tassles here, slapping on brocades there. And unlike most other designer labels, it does not follow trends or stick within certain themes for each collection, but simply tosses them all in, from western to floral, or whatever other looks have taken the designer's fancy this season. This has led to accusations from the more trend-obsessive fashion press of being out-of-date and even - horrors - unfashionable, but among consumers it works because the Armani label is one of the most successful designer brands ever and is also, again unusually, still independent.
Yesterday's show was one of Emporio's strongest for some time. The A-line skirts with soft pleats were lovely and would have suited pretty much any age and any shape, which is never a given with designer clothes. The A-line coats were also good, particularly the ones in tweed which managed to look more Jackie O and less Queen Mum, and were a testament to Armani's belief that style is more important than fashion. There were also short, slouchy-shouldered jackets which, judging by yesterday's front row, is a popular trend already, although, in typical Emporio style, Armani couldn't resist adding some pleats on the back. Styling tics were wisely kept to a minimum, save for some turban-like headware at the beginning and bare legs with brogues.
Armani's refusal to stick to themes might make sense on the shop floor but it can be a little disarming in a fashion show. For example, a nice, nippy velvet jacket paired with a pretty skirt is followed on the catwalk by a model wearing a decidedly more mature and classic outfit of a long camel coat.
But for the majority of the clothing-buying world who don't go to shows, this is irrelevant.
These were precisely the kind of clothes Emporio customers would want to wear: pretty, easy and, in the best possible sense, not overly fashionable. Armani will show his higher end label, Giorgio Armani, this afternoon.
Trend watch: what to look out for in the shops for autumn and winter 2005
· Not the easiest length, granted, but sometimes we all have to suffer to be fashionable. Next season, hems are at the middle of or at the top end of your calf, meaning that even Elle Macpherson will be looking a little stumpy of leg
· At Marc Jacobs in New York, the designer's Park Avenue princess fans were horrified at their guru's suggestion that they should wear voluminous long skirts that ended mid-calf. How can one show off one's GI regime weight loss in that?
· Clements Ribeiro in London took a more flattering approach, with long cropped trousers, cuffed around the calf
· There was a similar look at Emporio, with cuffed calf-length trousers

PHOTOS: A look at baby North's wardrobe
Since Kim Kardashian started dating Kanye West, she's stepped her style game all the way up. Yeezy taught her! So it should come as no surprise that their baby girl North is already building up a wardrobe filled with one of a kind custom designer baby gear, including an insanely cute selection of girly Lanvin frocks fit for a princess.
Kim took to Instagram to show off some of the adorable stuff and we've gotta say: We're a tad jealous of Nori right now but we can't wait to see her styling in these streets!
See below to feel terrible about all the clothing you were gifted as a child.

April 12, 2011
IRVINE, Calif. --- Andy Lines struck out a career-high seven batters to lead No. 17 UC Irvine to a 3-0 shutout over San Diego State Tuesday at Cicerone Field at Anteater Ballpark. UCI, which has recorded four shutouts this season, improves to 21-8 on the season.
Lines, who pitched four innings, faced the minimum through four before giving up a leadoff walk in the top of the fifth. The southpaw fanned six consecutive Aztec hitters en route to improve to 2-1 on the year. Nick Hoover picked up for Lines in the fifth and hurled three hitless innings while striking out three and did not walk a batter. Jimmy Litchfield added a scoreless eighth, striking out two and giving up a single before handing the ball off to Brian Hernandez who allowed a walk and a single before retiring the final three batters for his seventh save of the season.
The Anteaters (21-8) jumped on the board in the bottom of the first. D.J. Crumlich singled and took third on an error by starting pitcher Craig Rasmussen. Sean Madigan singled in the game-winning run with a hit to centerfield.
UCI scored twice in the third. Madigan figured in the inning, drawing a four-pitch walk and taking third on a hit-and-run single by Hernandez. Jordan Leyland executed for the Anteaters with the hit-and-run to plate Madigan and putting Hernandez on third. Hernandez would score the final run on a grounder to short.
Madigan, Hernandez and Leyland each posted two hits apiece while Drew Hillman added a hit in the second but was left stranded.
San Diego State's Craig Rasmussen fell to 1-3 after giving up a run on four hits in 1.2 innings. The Aztecs drop to 11-22 on the year.

Will It Be "DevOps" Or "DevOid" For I&O Professionals?
Posted by Stephen Mann on July 22, 2011
My colleague, Glenn O'Donnell, and I (do I sound like the Queen?) have delivered a Forrester report called "Improving The Ops In DevOps" inspired by the long-bemoaned tension between "change-the-business" (dev) and "run-the-business" (ops) IT teams and their activities, and the need for change.
This tension inflicts a detrimental impact on the business. In fact, most organizations suffer this curse, and stereotypes that reflect this animosity abound. Does this sound familiar? Ops people see dev people as sitting in their ivory towers cranking out code all day and wanting to release applications oblivious to real-world constraints; dev sees ops as cog-turners ensuring that the IT infrastructure doesn't break under the strain of poorly written code. Chances are that your organization is not this bad. But this exaggeration is indicative of the tension between these two IT "tribes" and their opinions of each other. These stereotypes exist because organizational behaviors do exaggerate genuine conflicts, and both parties must act quickly to change.
Getting DevOps right will address many of the issues enterprises consistently have with IT, such as applications failing to meet both functional and nonfunctional requirements, delivery delays, increased costs, and an inflexibility to change. But is DevOps enough to save I&O from extinction?
In Forrester's opinion, there are many other issues to consider to that question, but an enlightened DevOps movement will certainly prove extremely valuable. For DevOps to work — and it must — I&O teams need to evolve the mindsets of their people and follow the words of the oft-quoted management mantra: "If you can't change the people, change the people."
But this means today's I&O execs must overcome at least two serious challenges:
Challenge No. 1: The sibling rivalry between app dev and IT ops ultimately hurts the parent.
App dev and IT ops are part of the same IT family, yet they often act like the opposing factions in "Romeo and Juliet"— often working against each other rather than pulling in the same direction. Most of us know that "Romeo and Juliet" ended in tears. A suitable family view of the status quo is a form of quasi-sibling relationship, one that's built on teenage one-upmanship or the toddler-like need for the most parental attention. Whether one of these or another reason cause the identified inability to effectively cooperate, it's ultimately the business "parent" that suffers from its children's inability to play well together.
Challenge No. 2: IT is now a business expense rather than a business function.
Is blood thicker than water? Not any more — at least not around the perspective of traditional IT. In the changing IT and business landscape, most enterprises can now freely choose IT development and delivery methods, and the failure of IT to pull together will potentially lead to a reverse-adoption situation — with internal I&O people and processes jettisoned for hopefully better-behaved and cheaper external alternatives. DevOps can go some of the way in preventing this, but far more has to be addressed within the internal IT ecosystem. I&O people, and their thinking, need to change to avoid corrective actions that are punitive in nature.
Forrester offers six steps that I&O can take to improve the DevOps collaboration:
- Change your change management.
- Communicate more often with the app dev group to increase its knowledge of operations.
- Educate app dev on the evolution of I&O as a services-centric organization.
- Consider app dev as "service dev."
- Understand and manage the diversity of views on IT delivery.
- Integrate I&O's mission statement with the business.
The report, which expands on the above and offers actionable recommendations to I&O professionals, is available at forrester.com.
Let me know what you think.

Hartford Captures Third-Straight Academic Cup
Related Links
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The University of Hartford earned its third-straight America East Academic Cup in 2013-14 as its student-athletes compiled a 3.28 grade-point average this year, the highest of any school in the 19-year history of the award.
The Academic Cup, established by the America East Board of Directors in 1995, is presented to the institution whose student-athletes post the highest grade-point average during that academic year.
All of the America East's nine institutions and 109 of the 141 teams compiled grade-point averages over 3.0 in 2013-14. In addition, the league's 3,400-plus student-athletes earned a 3.12 average during the 2013-14 season, the highest single-year mark in league history, breaking the record of 3.09 set a year ago. In all, America East student-athletes have averaged better than a 3.0 GPA for nine-straight years.
"Congratulations to the University of Hartford, most notably its student-athletes, on once again breaking the Academic Cup record," said Commissioner Amy Huchthausen. "It is indicative of the hard work put in and the value placed on academics not only by Hartford, but by all nine of our institutions and student-athletes, who consistently excel academically year in and year out, which is a core pillar of this conference and what sets us apart from so many others."
Right behind Hartford in the Academic Cup standings was University of New Hampshire in second place with a 3.20 GPA. University of Maine finished third (3.16 GPA), followed by University of Vermont (3.15), Binghamton University (3.14), Stony Brook University (3.08), UMBC (3.07), University at Albany (3.03) and UMass Lowell (3.01).
Fifteen of Hartford's 16 athletic programs earned a 3.00 GPA or higher over the last year and a league-high ten teams recorded the highest GPA of their America East peers. The Hawks' baseball (3.15), men's cross country (3.59), men's lacrosse (3.12), men's soccer (3.37), softball (3.47), men's tennis (3.49), women's tennis (3.30), men's indoor track & field (3.36), men's outdoor track & field (3.36) and volleyball (3.59) programs all led the conference in each respective sport for team GPA.
The Maine women's cross country team had the highest team GPA of any team in the conference at 3.64, while Hartford men's cross country had the highest GPA of any male team.
Two squads that won America East titles also had the highest GPA in their respective sport. Albany won the men's basketball title while posting a GPA of 3.18 and UMBC captured the women's soccer crown with a 3.47 GPA.
Other sport winners were: women's basketball, Maine (3.34); women's cross country, Maine (3.64); field hockey, Vermont (3.34); women's swimming & diving, UMBC (3.34); women's indoor track & field, Maine (3.45); women's outdoor track & field, Maine (3.48) and women's lacrosse, New Hampshire (3.23).
The overall institutional grade-point averages were calculated by dividing each student-athlete's quality points by the total credits completed for grade.
Hartford also won the 2012-13, 2011-12 and 1996-97 Academic Cups, while Vermont, which has won a conference-best eight cups, won the award seven years in a row from 2004-05 through 2010-11 and also took home the award in its inaugural year (1995-96). New Hampshire won the Academic Cup in 1998-99 and 1999-2000 and Binghamton garnered the cup in its first two years in the conference (2001-02, 2002-03). Maine, which shared the cup with Vermont in 2006-07, also won the honor in 2003-04.

We are enclosing our poster that we ask you print and display in your lobby or other public area.
Can you please put an appeal in your newsletter to help us find volunteer drivers?
"Want to be entertained and earn your gas money costs while doing a good deed? Seniors Assisted Transportation Society of Greater Edmonton or SATS has been giving volunteer outreach rides since 2001. We now reimburse Volunteer Drivers for gas money of $10.00 to $20.00 for a volunteer driver's trip. What we do is help walking older seniors Monday to Friday, get to their important appointments at a cost of a return average trip of $7.00 each. These older seniors, are unable to drive or take public transportation because of health concerns and whom cannot afford taxi's because of limited income! As a volunteer driver, vehicle insurance is not an extra cost or concern as everyone's volunteer driving is covered under every person's vehicle insurance policy and we have the letters from the Insurance Bureau of Canada to show you! Plus we top your insurance coverage up with a $ 5,000,000.00 non-owned automobile insurance coverage at our non-profit charity! We will do a security clearance and a drivers' abstract, at SATS costs.

Be interested to see how he gets on.
Be interested to see how he gets on.
He's a great athlete and has a brilliant wrestling background I'm really looking forward to his debut ...... he's trained for a full year I believe even more than Brock Lesnar did for his Debut.
He wont be like Lesnar in personality, he's quite a reserved guy when talking so I reckon he gonna let the fighting do the talking.
He recently headlined a japanese wrestling show which Josh Barnett also pro wrestled on vs Tank Abbot haha.
Brilliant who won? Tank Abbott via TKOing Barnett with a whiskey bottle ha
no way, got any pics of that?
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Hurry up and give him a shot at the UFC title already!
hahaha cheers man! Quality!
Good old Tank can eat what he wants.

March 16, 2013
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -
The University of Nevada track and field team opened the 2013 outdoor season with several record breaking performances at the Hornet Invitational this weekend on the campus of Sacramento State.
"We had a great start to the outdoor season," head coach Shantel Twiggs said. "This weekend put us one step closer to our end goal. We will continue to take it one meet at a time and never let up. This is one of the most talented teams in school history and I am proud to be their coach."
The Wolf Pack 4x100m relay team kicked off the meet with a record breaking time of 45.18 to take first place. The quartet made up of Samantha Calhoun, Angelica Earls, Tanisha Hawkins and Kashae Knox broke Nevada's previous record of 46.29 that was set by Baylee Hearns, Angelica Earls, April Pate, and Deborah Amoah in 2011. The time also puts Nevada tied with TCU for the fourth best 4x100m relay time nationally.
Deborah Amoah took home a win in the triple jump, clearing a program record mark of 42'7". Senior La Tijera Avery returned to action in her last season with the team, taking second place in the high jump with a mark of 1.78m, just off of her school record from two years ago.. Avery also took home a third place finish in the long jump with a mark of 5.62m. Samantha Diaz won the 3000 meter steeplechase with a time of 10:50.72. The time places Diaz sixth of Nevada's all-time list. Kerri Simmons placed second in the shot put with a personal best throw of 15.10m. The mark places the junior second on the program's all-time list. Nicole Wadden took third in the javelin with a mark of 36.53m.
Nevada's sprinters group continued to dominate on the track. Kashae Knox led the group with a personal best time of 11.67 to take second in the 100-meter dash. Knox's time is good for the second spot on the team's all-time list. Angelica Earls crossed the line third behind Knox at 11.76 for the program's third best time. Samantha Calhoun finished fourth at 11.84 to sit fifth on the list. Tanisha Hawkins rounded out the group with a fifth place finish of 11.98 for the program's eighth best time. The Wolf Pack 4x400 relay team comprised of Shanee Martin, Christina Smith, Mariah Gramolini, and Baylee Hearns placed third with a time of 3:54.04
The team will travel to the Cal-Nevada Championships in San Diego, Calif., in two weeks.

These sorts of US / UK crossover shows seem to be the in thing in Britain these days. There have been a host of them lately, some of which have actually been very funny. This looks to be one of the funny ones thanks not only to Samberg but an equally skilled cast on the UK side. Take a look at the first trailer below.Cuckoo (Andy Samberg) is every parent's worst nightmare - a slacker full of outlandish, New Age ideas - and the man Ken (Greg Davies) and Lorna's (Helen Baxendale) only daughter, Rachel (Tamla Kari) has brought home from her gap year and introduced as her new husband.
Ken and Lorna have no choice but to welcome him into their family home - and if every Englishman's home is his castle, then this hippie has stormed Ken's fortress and plundered everything - most unforgivably, his princess.
Set in the Midlands - home to the Thompson family - Ken and Lorna are horrified by their daughter's news but as he settles into the family home, they are surprised just how much they warm to their new squared-jawed, self-appointed spiritual ninja son-in-law.

Target: The Bureau of Land Management
Goal: End plans to castrate hundreds of wild stallions in Nevada.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Nevada is being sued by activists and conservationists for a plan to capture and castrate thousands of wild horses over the next decade to reduce horse populations. Although the BLM claims this is a necessary step in controlling wild horse populations, critics say the plan is a "scientifically unsound, controversial, untested and radical" approach to managing stallions and violates federal law.
BLM spokeswoman JoLynn Worley claims this project is another way to preserve rangelands and the native wildlife; the agency says wild horse populations are putting both of these at risk.
As reported in The Huffington Post, the plan is to remove almost 2,000 wild horses from the Pancake Complex, a holding center for horses, and castrate 200 of them over the next 6 to 10 years. The Pancake Complex lacks the sufficient space to hold all the animals it wishes to castrate at once, which is why the timeline for this castration plan is spread out. The BLM wishes to reduce the Complex's horse population from 2,200 to 370 horses during this time.
While the BLM claims it is acting in the best interests of the farmlands and wildlife, activists maintain that the agency's continued removal of wild horses has resulted in the stockpiling of horses in holding centers, at the cost of taxpayers. Right now there are 41,000 horses in holding facilities versus 33,000 free horses.
Furthermore, while wild horses have been consistently removed from public lands and kept in holding facilities, cattle and sheep populations continue to roam free without hindrance. It would seem that the BLM is acting in the best interests of the livestock industry, which has no regard for wild horses.
In the Associated Press, Ginger Kathrens, executive director of the Cloud Foundation, stated, "the agency's policy of destroying America's wild horse herds for the benefit of the livestock industry must come to an end." Decades of "mismanagement" must be stopped.
Please sign below to save the wild mustang populations in Nevada and all across the Western United States.
Dear Bureau of Land Management,
Castrating hundreds of wild horses across Nevada is not a responsible way to manage horse populations. This plan is untested and not backed by scientific evidence or data of any kind.
The argument that these wild horses are destroying public lands is also unsubstantiated. While wild horse numbers are in the thousands, for instance, cattle numbers are estimated in the millions. It is not logical to blame horses for the wildlife devastation.
Instead of acting on behalf of the livestock industry and giving the open land to cattle ranchers, wild horses ought to be allowed to live on public lands – in their natural habitat – without interference or possibility of being captured.
Please reconsider the decision to castrate wild stallions and leave wild horse populations in peace.

Remember when.
Lend your kitchen a nostalgic feel with vintage appliances. A refurbished stove, manually operated toaster, and dial phone will force you to slow down. A retro clock will ensure your culinary efforts are cooked to perfection.
Get creative.
Construct funky curtains out of old tablecloths and clip rings. Choose from your own collection or visit a local secondhand shop for undiscovered treasures. Shades of cream and pastels provide a clean, simple look.
Find inspiration in old cottage photographs and area homes, or consult your family albums. Past generations can be an excellent source of classic design, so ask relatives for suggestions or handed-down furnishings.
Keep it casual.
Sun-faded slipcovers and plaid blankets give decor a lived-in look. Try a fabric store for material with the stylishly faded look?or a thrift store for the real thing.
Know your limits.
Stick with a theme. Start with shells you?ve collected on the beach or paint colors pulled from the ocean.
Be an individual.
Mix and match dining chairs for an innovative, inexpensive way to gather around the table. Each family member can choose a chair to decorate in his or her own style. The different chairs will become conversation pieces and add character to your dining area.
Dive in.
Get your hands dirty at a salvage yard. Comb through carefully to find sinks, tubs, doors, and lights to complete your cottage. They may not look like treasures initially, but these home necessities can be revamped into something new.
Indulge your artistic side.
Decoupage a tray with brochures, old photographs, and other historic memorabilia. Display the masterpiece so guests can reminisce.
Speak up.
Share your vision with friends and family. They may come across a desired item before you do. After all, achieving great vintage style takes time.

Harley-Davidson teams up with ESPN to feature ice racing at the Aspen Winter X Games 2014, where new Harley-Davidson Street 750 motorcycles tore up the ice at extreme speeds.
Dino Bernacchi, the Director of North American Marketing Communications for Harley-Davidson explains, "Harley-Davidson has been pioneering action sports since before they were even defined as action sports... In fact, archive photos in the Harley-Davidson Museum show enthusiasts racing on frozen lakes almost a century ago, so it's exciting to see us back racing on ice with a new generation of riders - on the newest addition to the Dark Custom motorcycle lineup."
We modified several H-D Street 750 motorcycles by adding steel screws to the tires and let the world's best flat track racers tear up the ice. We think fans will be captivated by the extreme attitude and beauty they'll see on the ice." Bernacchi says.
While it's difficult to pin down when and where someone had the bright idea of putting a motorcycle on ice, the first records of ice racing date from Sweden in 1924. Today, ice racing is primarily on quarter-mile, half-mile and road course tracks set up on frozen lakes or indoor arenas.
Fans are invited to weigh in through social media to determine if this thrill ride should become a mainstay of competition in future Winter X Games. "While we think ice racing is hardcore, it's only fitting that Harley-Davidson is having extreme sports fans around the world help decide the fate of the X Games sport", says Bernacchi. Have your say on twitter, and don't forget the hashtag: #XGIceRace

So now we cannot "laugh" at something we may find ironically funny and stupid all at the same time? And we cannot laugh in safety because some hot head thinks he and his Homeboy's are dissed by that laughter? Since when? Who's rule or law?
Put the shoe on the other foot and had the OP had a Confederate Battle Flag displayed proudly upon his person and the said individuals decided to laugh or "comment" about it, would the reaction be any different? I hate this double standard that it's ok to laugh at, joke about or simply rip apart some things but Heaven help us if we diss the President or anyone who loves the guy.
I can remember people saying really horrible things about G.W. Bush and that was just fine, even patriotic to some people. But now we cannot have an opposite opinion about the current White House Occupant and who he is compared with?
The OP had every right under the Bill of Rights to freely express himself, including laughter. The two thugs didn't have the right to be agressors and potentially attack.
I'm sorry, I stand with the OP and he is right and he did not intentionally intend to escalate anything, the two thugs took it to be that way.

To some members this post may sound redundant but it may apply here:
"As a gun owner, you have to be cool-headed, more-so than the police ever have to be. You do not ever run around pretending to be the police while carrying a gun because then, stuff like this can happen. You do not start stuff, act aggressively, flip the bird, roll your eyes, talk smack, or even raise your voice to anyone, ever.
A combat instructor (who happened to be Buddhist and a Marine) once said to me:
"From now on, when dealing with (ed.) crazy / possibly violent people, you will lose every argument. You are always wrong. You are sorry for impinging on their day.
You will apologize and apologize again. You will back the heck down. You will put your tail between your legs. You will let them talk stuff about your lady friend. You will let them call your mother a witch and a hooker, your dad a punk.
You have no ego. You do all this because if you are the one to start a fight, by default that fight now has a gun in it, and if you start losing, you're going to pull it and kill him.
Even if you don't go to jail because you could convince the jury that it was self-defense, you're going to have to live with the fact that you took someone's life in defense of your pride and ego not your life.
You are not the police, so don't act like them. Though many of you [civilians] are better shots than the police, you do not have the training, the continuum of force policy, a union, plus free lawyers protecting you if you screw up.
In closing he added After backing down and trying to apologize, if at any time you then feel your life or that of a loved one is in danger, put three rounds into his [cardiothoracic] vault, call the police, call your lawyer, give a statement, go home, and sleep like a baby. You did all you could for your attacker, and he was the one that made the final decision...... to kill himself."

That's good news for Tanner.
"All offensive linemen wish for overcast and breezy," he said.
And for the Broncos. Boise State has hot summers and its blue turf can get as hot as 120 degrees during some of the team's summer practices, Coach Dan Hawkins said, but the humidity is another matter.
"Humidity would be a thing that would hurt a team from this area," said San Jose State coach Dick Tomey.
Fifty-six percent humidity won't hurt anybody too much, though.
"I was hoping we'd play about 2 p.m.,but hopefully 5:30 will be enough," Richt said. "Hopefully, it'll be hot enough for everybody."

The Soyfoods Association of North America
1050 17th Street, N.W. Suite 600
Washington, DC 20036
(202) 659-3520
Washington, Jan. 31, 2011 — For the first time ever, soyfoods are being brought front and center in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS)'s 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 which provide nutritional guidance to promote health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity through improved nutrition and physical activity cites soy products twice in the text of the executive summary of the report announced today. The recommendations include increasing the intake of soy products and fortified soy beverages. Vegetarian and vegan meal patterns, that include soyfoods, also make their Dietary Guidelines debut as adaptations to the USDA Food Patterns.
"It's clear that now more than ever the Dietary Guidelines are relevant for all Americans," said Nancy Chapman, Executive Director, Soyfoods Association of North America (SANA). "Regardless of age or cultural differences, the 2010 Guidelines take a big step in helping all Americans understand what the science-based recommendations mean when it comes to sitting down at the dinner table with your family."
Soyfoods can play a part in any healthy, well-balanced diet as they nourish the body with high quality protein that is low in saturated fat, full of nutrients, and cholesterol-free.

Opinion: Reward Teachers Who Brave the Snow
Like thousands of other New Yorkers, I woke up last Thursday waiting to hear if the city's public schools would be closed due to the snowstorm. And like thousands of others, I was disappointed to find they were not. I'm a big boy, I could handle it. I'm also a teacher at The Computer School, so I had to handle it and then explain to my sixth-grade daughter that she had to handle it as well.
And we did. We left the apartment five minutes earlier than usual, caught the M11 going up Amsterdam Avenue and both made it to our schools half an hour early. Somewhat paradoxically, the lousy weather and road conditions kept many others off the streets which made our commute a relative breeze in the midst of the mini-blizzard.
I've been reading much over the past week about how Mayor Bill de Blasio and Chancellor Carmen Fariña put our kids and staff in danger by not calling a snow day on the same day there was a state of emergency and New Yorkers were strongly advised to stay off the streets. I get it. I've also read that keeping the schools open put us educators into the roll of babysitters. That I don't get.
My Upper West Side middle school had about 80 percent attendance that day and the only teacher absent had already planned to be out. Admittedly, I did not cover any new material in my sixth-grade math class, but the students who did show up got to delve deeper into the concept of finding the area of composite figures. (The Polar Vortex is no match for the Common Core.)
The science class I co-teach spent a period in the Green Lab checking on their sprouts, making observations, and recording data. The only real downside to the day was the cancellation of recess and lunch out, causing most of the few hundred kids to be in the cafeteria without the benefit of having run around for 20 minutes.
A lot of the kids we teach have parents who can't take a day off from work without being penalized. They don't get the same sick and personal days teachers get. They sent their kids to school that day knowing they'd be safe, and then went off to work themselves. I'm proud of my colleagues for showing up and being there for our children. I'm even proud of my bosses. (That's right, I said it.) One came in from New Jersey and the other drove down from Westchester.
I also understand that many parents chose to keep their kids home and many teachers could not make it safely to school throughout the city. Adults making adult decisions. I'd like to propose a new approach that allows for a range of responses to challenging weather conditions.
Let's create something called an "Exceptional Weather Day." On these days—and let's hope they're rare—parents who choose to keep their kids home may do so without the students being marked absent. Teachers who decide they can't travel safely can also stay home without having to take a sick day. Those of us who can show up safely, get another sick day in our bank.
I've been teaching in the city system for over 26 years so I know there's a bureaucrat—or 50—in some office not anywhere close to an actual student who will tell me why that can't happen. It's not a perfect solution, but let's not make that the enemy of a good one.
As far as the question of what could kids possibly learn on a day like last Thursday, that's an easy one. They learned their schools and educators are there for them in stressful times. They learned there's a place to go when things don't go the way we plan or want. Above all, they were reminded that each and every one of them is part of a school community in an amazing city filled with communities who are not going to let them down.

By Chris Harris
When he left a rain-soaked Reebok Stadium in March, Arsène Wenger could have been forgiven for thinking he might not be back for a while.
After all, his Arsenal side had just come from two goals down and a man down to beat Bolton 3-2. The comeback left Bolton shattered, stunned and staring relegation in the face.
Incredibly, they survived. Four wins in their final six games propelled Gary Megson's side to safety and secured Bolton a ninth consecutive top-flight campaign. Now they will be looking to make amends for that humbling defeat at the hands of Wenger's young side.
We asked Marc Iles of the Bolton Evening News for a Wanderers perspective ahead of this weekend's game. Read on for his views on the 'great escape', the impact Megson has made and the summer departure of El-Hadji Diouf.
"Looking back to that 3-2 defeat against Arsenal in March, I think a lot of people looked at the Bolton players' faces coming off that pitch and a lot of people wouldn't have given tuppence for Bolton's chances. Shortly after that they went and got beaten by Aston Villa as well and it all looked dead and buried. But somewhere from deep within them they remembered what kept them in the Premier League for so many seasons before that. They found their grit again and salvaged enough before the end of the season to dig themselves out. Having said that, Bolton still look at that 3-2 game as a warning of what can go wrong and what they don't want to revert back to."
"Gary Megson won over a section of fans with the work he did last season, but he's still yet to win over the majority of supporters despite what he managed in keeping them up. I don't think his style of football, like his predecessor Sam Allardyce, will ever win him many fans across the country. The bottom line is that Sam was an immensely popular character here because he got results. I think that is now what Gary is looking to emulate. If he gets the results then I don't think the majority of Bolton fans will give a flying fig about the style of football, all they want to do is be competitive in the Premier League.
"I think for the last 18 months there has been a tremendous amount of change, most of which has been unsettling. Even towards the end of Sam Allardyce's tenure a lot of things behind the scenes were changing and you know we needed that period of stability. Gary came in, bought players that he thought would be able to steady the ship enough to see them over the line, which of course did happen. He's invested in players over the summer that he thinks will make sure it doesn't happen again this year. I think the majority of Bolton fans would be happy with mid-table obscurity, just no repeat of what happened last season."
"I think mid-table it is realistic, you just have to find a degree of consistency at some point in your season. Bolton didn't have that until the very very end of last season which is what saw them away from trouble. I think they need to find that a lot earlier, they've had a very mixed start so far although a lot of that has been down to the injuries and missing personnel at the moment so, when they do get back, they need to go on a run before Christmas to make sure they're not always looking at that bottom three, wondering whether they'll be in it come the end of the season."
"I think any side in the Premier League would miss Nicolas Anelka, in fact I seem to remember Arsenal missing him once! He's a phenomenal goalscorer and Gary's brought in Johan Elamnder to fill the gap because of course he left in January and there were still a good few months of the season left to go in which Bolton really struggled to find goals.
"El-Hadji Diouf is the same, he brought goals. He went for slightly different reasons. Anelka wanted to play in the Champions League and went to Chelsea and probably didn't do as well as he thought he might do, Diouf has gone to sunderland in search of Europe as well and good luck to him. He's a very popular character around here. As for Ivan Campo, Gary took the decision to move him on, thinking he wasn't really fitting the mould of midfielder that he wanted and he brought in Fabrice Muamba. So it's only now that the side is being moulded into a team that Gary Megson feels can compete in the Premier League."
"He has a lot of potential. I've spent a bit of time in his company and he seems to be a tremendously driven young man, a very thoughtful lad. He acknowledges the debt he owes to Arsenal for bringing him through their ranks in what was a very unsettling time in his life and nurtured him into a footballer capable of playing in the Premier League.
"By the same rationale you can also see that stubbornish streak in him that he wants to go his own way. He decided to move to Birmingham, it wasn't a successful time in terms of Birmingham getting relegated but the lessons he learned there will be invaluable and he's come to Bolton to continue that. He wants to make it in his own right, he doesn't want to be remembered as the lad who could have been the next Patrick Vieira, he wants to be remembered as Fabrice Muamba and go on and do things his own way."
"There's always a bit of extra spice in this one. You look back all the way down the years and it's such a contrast in styles, and I don't see any reason why it will be any different. Bolton play to their strengths and Arsenal play to theirs as a tremendous footballing side. Often it does tend to hinge on a moment of controversy or a daft decision or a mistake. It's usually quite tight, I think Bolton are still a direct side and are still relying heavily on people like Kevin Davies and Kevin Nolan and long may that continue because that's what has kept them in the Premier League for eight seasons.
"As for injuries, Elmander has been out for the last three to four weeks with a hamstring injury. They're hoping he'll be back in some capacity for the Arsenal game. Matt Taylor is definitely out, he's got a broken toe. Gary Cahill is suspended and he's sitting out the final game of his three-match suspension against Arsenal. Loan signing Ebi Smolarek has been unavailable ever since he signed. They're going to assess him and see if he's available."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Well, I suppose I can say I am recovering quite well from the dog attack. Although, there was a close call today when I went out for a walk. Mom was right beside me, though, and she promised me that the mean girl wouldn't get me again. She feels so bad about the first time, but that chic just snapped. Neither of us saw it coming. I heard her growl something about me looking like an old ex of hers and then it was on! It's not Mom's fault she isn't bilingual. She really should learn, though. I am getting my hair done today. That always makes me feel better. Then on Friday, Mom is off to the American Veterinary Medical Association Conference in Washington D.C. I hate it when she leaves. Our friend Michael is staying with us, though, so, it shouldn't be too bad. Maybe he'll be a sucker and give me lots of treats. I have to go practice my puppy dog eyes!
Not only am I having to deal with the "baby" getting over his sickness, but yesterday, I was in the grassy area behind our house minding my own business when I was ambushed! The neighbor's dog, Bumble, whom I have never had words with before, just went psycho and attacked me. She knocked me down, then pounced on top of me and bit my front leg and my stomach! I tell you, it does NOT feel good to fall down when you are over 10! My joints are killing me now and my leg is swollen. Bumble's Dad had to pull her off of me! Can you believe it? What a week I am having! I feel better now that Mom has started me on some antibiotics & pain pills, but my, oh, my pride!!!
Louie being sick is REALLY cramping my style. I don't get my daily bone when Mom leaves now, because the little whippersnapper can't have one. How fair is that?!? Why should I have to suffer? He's the one with the bad pancreas, not me! Maybe since today is July 4th, Mom will cave and give me one. I having major bone withdrawals!

Exactly ZERO malfunctions after many thousands of rounds in IPSC competition and at the range.
NRA Certified Rifle/Pistol Instructor
Accuracy ALWAYS WINS! So carry what you can hit with.
If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics stink.
Have never had any issues with any of the SIGs or Glocks that I have owned.
My Kel Tec P3AT FTE a couple of times the first time I shot it at the range. However several hundred rounds later not a single issue and I trust this pistol. I believe it just needed to be broke in a little.
Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!
I have nowhere near the round count that some of you guys do. My first pistol was an M&P9 that I probably put 300rds through without a hitch. Had to sell that for monetary reasons and picked up a Taurus PT 24/7 PRO DS 9mm. I had 2 fail to feed problems the first time I shot it. Both times it was the last round in the mag the first time that particular mag was used. It's probably got 300 rds through it with no problems since.
Either you are a weapon and your gun is a tool or your gun is a weapon and you are the tool.
I carry a Beretta 92SF.
I had two stovepipes at the tail end of one day shooting about five hundred rounds of Wolf ammo. Other than that no problems through at least two thousand rounds. I did have a faulty mag that wouldn't properly lock back the slid at the end of a magazine, but that wasn't the fault of the Beretta.
"War necessarily brings with it some virtues, and great and heroic virtues too. What horrid creatures we men are, that we cannot be virtuous without murdering one another?" -John Adams
Ruger P95DC - Nothing to report, ate everything I ever fed it without a single hitch. (approx. 4k rounds while I owned it)
H&K USP .45 full-size V1 - I tried my hardest to make this thing STOP running. I even once ran some 70's mfg handloads my dad made, forgot, and found 30+ years later. Some of those cases were almost completely green. Not a problem in over 2k rounds. This was my greatest regret when I sold it.
Springfield XD(M) - 600 rounds, 1 FTRB, 1 stovepipe. Happened pretty early on before I traded it (in the first 150 rounds, no problems after that.)
Glock 23 - 1000 rounds, 2 stovepipes. Happened with an aftermarket magazine, replaced it with a factory mag, no problems.
Para USA GI Expert - Ive only put 100 rounds through it, still in the break-in phase, 1 FTRB.
I've been fairly lucky I guess.

HK45: No problems with JHP Gold Dots, or FMJs. ~40 JHP's and ~500 FMJ's downrange. I love it!
Taurus PT92-Soon to be 23 years old. Multiple thousands of rounds and not one failure of any kind. Ever.

My Springfield XD-9mm (4") has been flawless through 1500 rounds so far. Love it!
You know I've must have been really lucky through the years with all my guns... I've owned approx. 70 handguns over the years and I don't recall ever having a problem with any of them. Now let me qualify this a little bit. I don't consider any new auto broken in and ready to use, until it's had 150-200 rounds run through it. Once it's broken in, I don't recall having any malfunctions with any of them. For a revolver I would consider 50 rounds for the break in period. Of course, I've never had any kind of problem with a wheel gun. These are all what I would consider duty/off-duty/SD guns. Nothing smaller than .380/.38sp. Here's a rough inventory of the guns I've owned over the years:
(2) S&W 1st Gen.
(2) S&W 2nd Gen.
(3) S&W 3rd Gen.
(16) Colt 1911's
(2) Browning HP
(2) Beretta 92's
(4) Glocks
(2) Rugers
(2) Springfields
(1) Kimber
(1) Kahr
(2) Colt
(4) Ruger Sec. Six
(2) Ruger GP
(2) Ruger SP
(2) Ruger Redhawk
I wish I still had 1/4th of these...

Baby Eagle Full Size .40 S&W - Carrying 15 hours a day, every day for over 2 years, IDPA shoots 1x month, 5 different name brand ammo, 2 SD ammo, 1 brand factory reman, and my own home cooking (reloads). Not one single problem that I did not create (bad primer seating in one batch of my reloads). I pull the trigger, it goes bang.
No broken parts after 7.5k (estimate) rounds fired. The most accurate pistol I have fired (albeit limited - 5 different brand/models).
My only gripe is the finish, but sweat and dust/dirt does have a tendency to wear the finish rather quickly (work environment).

I have a number of pistols. I shoot all of them on a fairly regular basis. I very seldom have a malfunction. If I obtain a gun which malfunctions frequently, I get rid of it. Why would I keep a weapon which is not dependable?
As far as carry goes, my cold weather/layered clothing gun is a Randall Raider in .45 acp. I've had the gun for about 15 years and can't remember the last time it malfunctioned. Probably 5 or 6 thousand rounds through it.
Light clothing/summer carry is a CPX-1. I must have gotten a good one, because I have at least 1000 rounds through it with no malfunctions at all.
I just bought a PT145 and after I've put a couple of hundred rounds through it, I will replace the CPX-1 with it (providing there are no unexplained malfunctions). The primary reason is that I want the guns I carry on a regular basis to be the same caliber.
"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups"
All my Glocks run as expected 100%.
Ruger LCP, 100% to date after several hundred rounds.
Kahr, after break in 100%. Before break in, finicky chambering 1st round during manual charge, the round would nosedive.
Taurus 24 7 .40, what Taurus I haven't shot that pistol in a while now, but honestly it's been 100% from day one, just not very accurate. I could go on, but there's to many to list and if they had reliability issues they usually don't stay in my inventory.
Ruger GP100 4 inch - Never a problem
Ruger GP100 3 inch - On the way, will let you know, don't expect any.
Winchester 1300 Defender 12 Ga. Never a problem, works just fine
Mossberger Persuader 12 Ga - New, no problem so far
Rossi 38 - New, works fine so far.
As you can tell, were a revolver family and always will be.
"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
I have a Rock Island Armory 1911 Tactical and a Glock 27.
No issues with either no F2F. Nothing.
Just the occasional cleaning and lube and they're ready to go.

Less than one month after Paul Walker lost his life when the Porsche he was riding in went up in flames, Arsenio Hall faced a call too close for comfort. The late night host crashed his brand new Porsche Cayenne S into a dirt shoulder off a Los Angeles highway, TMZ reports. Thankfully, Hall escaped the crash without a scratch.
According to the site, Hall lost control of his vehicle moments before the accident. Responding officers claim the talk show host easily passed a field sobriety test and that drugs and alcohol were not involved in the crash. Further, no one was hurt as a result of the accident.
Since police have determined no crime was committed, looks like Hall's driving record, along with his life, remains intact.

Plant cell cultures represent a potential source of valuable secondary metabolites which can be used as food additives, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals. The synthesis of phytochemicals by the cell cultures in contrast to these in plants is independent of environmental conditions and quality fluctuations. In many cases, the chemical synthesis of metabolites is not possible or economically feasible. Moreover, the natural food additives are better accepted by consumers in contrast to those which are artificially produced.
In this chapter, the process for obtaining the secondary metabolites from plant cell cultures is represented as a multi-stage strategy, and each link should be described according to specifications of cell cultures or products. For the establishing of high-producing and fast-growing cell lines, the parent plants should be selected. The expression of synthetic pathways can be influenced by environmental conditions, the supply of precursors, and the application of elicitors, and it can be altered by special treatments such as biotransformation and immobilization. The efficiency of bioprocessing can be increased by the simplification of methods for product recovery, based on the principle of continuous product release into the cultivation media. This can be induced through influencing membrane permeability by chemical or physical factors, e.g., high electric field pulses.
The combined research in the fields of establishment of in vitro cultures, targeting of metabolite synthesis, and development of technologies for product recovery can exploit the potential of plant cells as sources of secondary metabolites.
