When I was growing up, I was often mistaken for a boy. I guess you could say I was a tomboy (or what Larry David might call "pre-gay"). I had short hair, wore my older brother's hand-me-downs and felt a profound sense of disappointment with the girls' shoe section. Once, when I was six, my mother attempted to put me in a dress for synagogue, but I ultimately emerged, triumphant, in ripped jeans and hightops as we left the house.
At 33, I'm still mistaken for a boy, albeit a 17-year-old one. My nickname among friends and colleagues is Lil Bro. I often cross the floor to the men's section to buy my clothes and have to compete with the boys come sale time for size 6-and-a-half designer oxfords. My sartorial role models include Ellen DeGeneres, One Direction and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. (Have you seen Shiloh's collection of blazers? To die for.) But boys' clothes don't fit the way they did when I had no hips and breasts and it became a constant quest to find masculine clothes that fit my body, my style and my sense of self.
Thankfully, there are more options today than Topman's XXS collection for women who like a "masculine" cut. In February, Tomboy Tailors, described as a bespoke clothier that caters to "butch/ boi lesbians, female-to-male transgender individuals and people of any identity who like to don tailored men's wear or tailored women's wear," opened in San Francisco. And just last month, the Portland-based tomboy shopping site Wildfang launched, aiming to liberate men's wear "one bowtie at a time."
Wildfang and Tomboy Tailors are just the newest among a handful of "genderqueer" clothing lines to pop up in recent years. There's the Butch Clothing Company in Britain and Saint Harridan, Fourteen, Marimacho, Haute Butch and Androgynous in the United States. And Toronto-born Kiyomi McCloskey (of the band Hunter Valentine) recently told the transgressive-men'swear blog dapperQ that she's starting a clothing line called Death and Diamonds for people who, like herself, aren't afraid to play with "a little bit of femininity but are more androgynous."
Tomboy Tailors' 48-year-old owner, Zel Anders, a self-described butch lesbian, says the idea for the company grew out of her frustration with trying to buy men's wear off the rack. Besides overspending on alterations, she was tired of salespeople's discomfort with selling her men's clothing. While Anders caters primarily to transmasculine individuals, she wants everyone to feel comfortable at Tomboy Tailors. "I want it to be known as a friendly place, not one that excludes people," she says by phone from San Francisco.
The brand's focus will be on shirts, formalwear and made-to-measure suits, which can be cut from more than 350 high-quality fabrics (from herringbone to plaid) and can be purchased\ in-store or online (it ships to Canada). Anders also plans to offer a variety of dapper accessories, including men's dress shoes in smaller sizes.
So far, Anders says, the response has been positive – in the week before Tomboy Tailors launched, 3,000 people signed up for its newsletter.
How to explain the emergence of boutiques that cater to women who want to wear men's-style clothing? "There has always been a market, but I just don't think that society was ready to challenge binary gender expectations," says Anita Dolce Vita, dapperQ's managing editor.
Dolce Vita sees these new clothiers as part of an overall renewed interest in men's wear and says they recognize that "even straight women don't always feel comfortable running around in pencil skirts and pointy heels. You don't have to be a lesbian to want to wear a sensible suit."
Even the mainstream fashion industry is reflecting a shift in thinking about gender: New York-based artist Casey Legler recently became the first woman to be signed exclusively to Ford Models' male roster, while Saint Laurent Paris cast Dutch model Saskia de Brauw, who has a boyish hairstyle and wears skinny suits, in its spring 2013 men's-wear campaign. Raf Simons, meanwhile, opened the Dior spring 2013 women's show with a model in a black tuxedo. And Dries Van Noten's boy-meets-girl collection at the recent Paris fashion week featured traditionally tailored men's-wear staples embellished with bright colours and worn with flat shoes.
Among mainstream brands like Old Navy and J.Crew, the "boyfriend" look is, of course, ubiquitous. Popularized by Katie Holmes when she stepped out in Tom Cruise's jeans nearly five years ago, boyfriend style tends to be oversized and undertailored and, by definition, isn't meant to look like it was designed expressly for women – think Old Navy's slouchy fuchsia "boyfriend blazer" or a cashmere J.Crew "boyfriend sweater" constructed to hang long and bearing seams that droop over the shoulder.
Nevertheless, I was happy when boyfriend style did emerge. Finally, I could find blazers like Shiloh's that fit me perfectly. The newest men's wear clothiers don't pretend, however, that their designs are inspired by – or borrowed from – their boyfriends' closets. They're made for women like me – and we are the boyfriends.Report Typo/Error

I call this piece "Suduko: Blue Pen."
I call this piece "Suduko: Blue Pen."
I call this piece, "Sudoku: Wednesday 5/30/07"
This weekend I was in George, Washington to take part in the Sasquatch Music Festival. Now, when I say in George, Washington I don't mean that I was actually in George Washington the first president of the United States. That would be impossible and, moreover, kind of gross. No, I was in George, Washington. George is a place and Washington is a state.
I was there to be a "host" at the Sasquatch Music Festival. A piddly little festival, no big names you've ever heard of: Bjork, Arcade Fire, Beastie Boys, Bad Brains, Spoon, Interpol, Grizzly Bear, Blackalicious, Neko Case. Like I said, no big names, a piddly little festival. ONLY THE BEST FUCKIN' BANDS IN THE UNIVERSE! I saw tons of great music. The highlights were Bjork and Arcade Fire: them being two of my favorite artists/bands ever. I saw some great newer bands too: St Vincent, Viva Voce, The Blow, in particular struck my fancy.
They had me, Aziz Ansari and Sarah Silverman hosting different stages. Aziz and I were hosting the smaller stages and Sarah was hosting the bigger one. We thought we'd be there to tell some jokes but it didn't really work out because once one band had struck their shit and the next band had set up it was time to keep going. I could have told some jokes but it didn't feel right. I tried it a little and it went ok but the stage manager cut me off. As it turned out I did a lot of, "How you guys doin'? You having fun? What's up, Sasquatch!? This next band is from Canada! Let me hear you make some noise for Tokyo Police Club!!!!!!!!!" And then I'd walk off the stage and go watch the band.
The thing about doing comedy at a music show is that if there's even one drunk guy in the crowd that doesn't want to hear jokes it kinds of ruins it for me and I get really insecure. Typically he'll go, "Let's hear some fucking music!" and then I'll stop in mid-sentence and be, like, "Okay" and then I just bring up the next band because I don't mind being heckled at a comedy show because i know that most of the crowd is into it but at a music show I have no idea if they're into it so I just stop and acquiesce to the drunk guy.
On the second day it was really cold and windy. Sarah left cause she was sick and Adam, the festival organizer, recruited me and Aziz to make announcements on the main stage which was like 15,000 people or something crazy like that. Aziz introduced me as Keith Showalter the founder and CEO of Honey Bucket port-o-potties, and there were hundreds of Honey Bucket port-o-potty's everywhere. The crowd cheered for me. I felt like Mick Jagger, finally. Aziz asked me why we called them "Honey Bucket" and I said it was between "Honey Bucket" and "Doo-doo Box" and that "Honey Bucket" was more aesthetically pleasing of a name.
All in all I give the Sasquatch Music Festival an A+.
Saw "28 Weeks Later" this weekend. It's only eh. That's my capsule review of it: "eh." The first ten minutes are brilliant. I won't give anything away other than that there's a zombie attack. Then it seems like it's going to get very interesting but there's some plot problems which irritated me. Particularly that the main character's zombie seems to have intelligence which is breaking the golden rule of zombies which is that they aren't allowed to have intelligence. Zombies with intelligence aren't zombies. Zombies with intelligence are stalkers like Freddy Kruger or Jason from "Friday the 13th." Those dudes are zombies with intelligence. They have a game plan. Real zombies just want to kill anything that comes in their path. So, supposedly, the main character's zombie in "28 Weeks Later" is, like, hunting for specific people which I find insulting to all zombie purists. There's another big plot problem which i won't get into other than to say that the whole movie hinges on something that didn't make sense so about 3/4 of the way through the movie I realized that it was never to make sense and I realized that I was bored and left the theater with ten minutes still left and went to the bathroom and got paranoid that a zombie might attack me while i was taking a pee.
Ol' pals.

Braves drop opening night contest 6-2
Mike Minor strikes out five, gives up three runs in two innings
By Miranda Black / Mississippi Braves | April 4, 2014 12:17 AM ET
PEARL, MS -- The Mississippi Braves dropped its opening night contest to the Mobile BayBears by a final score of 6-2 in front of a crowd of 5,132 at Trustmark Park. Atlanta Braves lefty Mike Minor went two innings in a rehab appearance with the Double-A Braves. He struck out five batters despite giving up three earned runs on four hits including a solo homer.
Mississippi (0-1) scored two runs on four hits while Mobile (1-0) plated six runs on nine hits. David Peralta went 3-for-5 at the plate for the BayBears. Peralta drove in two runs and scored twice. Jordan Parraz also had two hits.
Minor struck out the first two batters before Jake Lamb homered to left field. Parraz followed with a triple down the right field line and Peralta delivered a RBI-single to put the BayBears out front 2-0. Jon Griffin then doubled to left, making it a 3-0 game.
Lamb walked and Parraz singled to start the top of the third. Peralta then hit a ground-rule double, driving home Lamb and extending the BayBears lead to 4-0.
In the fourth, Lars Davis walked and moved to second on sacrifice bunt. Justin Greene later delivered a two-out, run-scoring single to left field to make it a 5-0 game.
Peralta led off the eighth with a double to left field. Sean Jamieson and Davis both walked with to load the bases. Another walk to Tom Belza allowed Peralta to score, giving Mobile a 6-0 lead over the Braves.
The M-Braves finally got on the board in the eighth. Cedric Hunter delivered a pinch-hit single and Matt Lipka walked. A passed ball allowed both runners to advance before an Emerson Landoni ground out drove home Hunter, making it a 6-1 game.
Mississippi added another run in the ninth to make it 6-2. Seth Loman singled and took second on defensive indifference. He moved over to third and scored on back-to-back ground outs.
Minor (0-1) took the loss. He gave up three earned runs on four hits and a homer while fanning five batters in two frames. Chase Anderson (1-0) picked up the win for Mobile. He worked six innings, allowing just one hit while striking out six batters.
In game two of this five-game series, M-Braves right-hander Jason Hursh counters BayBears lefty Andrew Chafin. First pitch is scheduled for 7:00 PM. Gates open at 6:00 PM.

GIPPSLAND'S Gunaikurnai Aboriginal people have been granted native title over land stretching from Warragul to the Snowy River - more than a decade after their claim was launched.
A recognition and settlement agreement was signed at Stratford in Gippsland yesterday, formally acknowledging the Gunaikurnai as traditional owners of more than 22,000 square kilometres of land, which includes almost one-fifth of Victoria's Crown land.
The native title determination was made by Federal Court judge Tony North, after negotiations conducted under new Victorian native title laws.
The $12 million settlement will result in the joint management of sites on the Mitchell River and in the Tarra Bulga National Park.
Gunaikurnai elder Albert Mullett said the native title ruling showed his people had won respect and recognition after struggling for hundreds of years.
''We share our joy and relief for the justice that this ruling gives to our people with many Gunaikurnai elders who have passed away during our long struggle,'' he said.
Attorney-General Rob Hulls, who attended the signing, said the agreement went some way to addressing years of dispossession.
''I recognise the massacres and disease; the forced removal from country; the destruction of crucial cultural sites; and the deliberate policies of successive governments that grievously wronged the Gunaikurnai, as they did other traditional owners,'' Mr Hulls said.
''I recognise, too, the immense determination evident in the fact that, despite all this, Gunaikurnai culture stands strong today.''
The Gunaikurnai will jointly manage 10 parks in Gippsland in a traditional-owner management board.

I wanted to create a blog that would feature fashions that someone like me – a full-time working mom who can't spend thousands on a single bag – could easily wear without breaking the bank.
Past News ReleasesRSS
Bellingham, WA (PRWEB) September 24, 2013
Karla Swanson, a fashion blogger from the Pacific Northwest, has launched a new fashion and lifestyle blog, http://www.loveitneedit.com. The blog will focus on must-have items – the things women love, need, want, desire and can't live without. Most of the fashions featured will be affordable, wearable styles that all types of women - from fashion-savvy trend-setters to moms who "live" in their yoga pants – will love.
"There are so many amazing fashion bloggers out there who look like super models, wear sky-high heels with every single outfit and are rocking the latest Céline 'It' bag," Karla says. "I love those blogs, but I don't fully relate to them. I wanted to create a blog that would feature fashions that someone like me – a full-time working mom who can't spend thousands on a single bag – could easily wear without breaking the bank. You don't have to wear all designer brands to look stylish and fashion-forward."
Karla says she loves searching for great deals and finding designer items at affordable prices, and inexpensive items that look expensive. "Occasionally I'll invest in a designer piece, and mix it with other pieces from places like H&M and Target. I hope my blog will inspire and give women ideas on how to look chic for less."
While the blog's main focus is on affordable clothing and accessories, Karla will also write about other topics she loves – beauty and makeup, celebrity fashion, gift ideas, cool stuff for babies/mamas and anything else that strikes her fancy.
Karla says she also plans on featuring guest bloggers as well. "I want to bring in fresh perspectives, and get ideas and tips from my trendy friends who work in the beauty and fashion industries," she says.
To read Karla's latest must-have musings, visit http://www.loveitneedit.com.

The blog focuses on affordable fashions - everything from the casual to sophisticated (think flats & jeans to blazers and pumps). It also focuses on beauty, celebrities and anything else she finds herself loving and needing. Living in Bellingham, Wash. with her husband and toddler son, Swanson works full time as a marketing consultant for a global company and an independent stylist for Stella & Dot.

I refute the notion that delivering aid to storm victims is a new cause for the Occupy movement. The core, underlying belief within the movement revolves around delivering aid to storm victims and it always has.
Those masses of people who came out last year, erecting tents all across the nation, were not simply protesting. They were delivering aid to the victims of the economic storm. The most impoverished Americans were given shelter, food, water, clothing and professional medical attention. They were given hygiene products. They were counseled, when necessary.

Commonwealth Bank of Australia broke through $70 a share for the first time in the company's history as the Australian sharemarket finished higher on Monday on strong gains from the banks sector.
Better than expected United States payroll data boosted local market sentiment and added weight to calls the recovery in the world's largest economy is continuing at full pace.
Banks led index gains while defensive stocks in the utilities, telecommunications and information technology sectors also lead the local bourse.
Despite the strong lead from international markets, volumes on the S&P/ASX 200 index remained low on Monday. The benchmark index closed up 23.5 points, or 0.46 per cent, at 5146.9.
High-yielding stocks including National Australia Bank, Telstra, Amcor and CSL all performed strongly on Monday.
National Australia Bank closed up 1.74 per cent at $31.64, Telstra gained 1.12 per cent to $4.53 and Amcor rose 3.54 per cent to $9.35. Commonwealth Bank closed the day up 0.33 per cent at $70.13, a record high.
It was the first day of trade since the release of non-farm payroll data from the US propelled the Dow Jones and S&P 500 to 4½ year-highs over the weekend.
US non-farm payrolls data showed more than 236,000 new jobs were created in the US in February, above consensus forecasts of 160,000. Unemployment also shrunk beyond the measure predicted, falling to 7.7 per cent from 7.9 per cent.
Perpetual head of investment market research Matthew Sherwood said the data provided the "best sign" that momentum in the US economic recovery was on the up.
Analysts at ANZ Banking Group were less enthusiastic, saying that while the numbers were better they demonstrated considerable weakness persisted in the US jobs market. "Strength in non-farm payrolls in recent months has largely been driven by a reduction in layoffs rather than an increase in hiring," analysts wrote.
Northward Capital fund manager Simon Rutherford said some investors remained wary about the sustainability of the rally that has taken place over the past six months.
"I think confidence is improving, and there aren't too many [macro-economic issues] which could send it all unravelling; it's just that when you go back up quite quickly, people reckon it should eventually come back down."
Retailers also fared well. JB Hi-Fi rose 4.16 per cent to $15.32. Pacific Brands rose 3.33 per cent to $0.845 cents. Harvey Norman gained 2.36 per cent to reach $2.810 and a 52 week high, alongside Woolworths, Wesfarmers and Myer.
Mining stocks including BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals Group were the biggest laggards on the index. BHP shed 0.75 per cent to $35.82, Rio lost 1.96 to $63.10 and Fortescue wound back 1.13 per cent to $4.37.
Mr Rutherford attributed sluggishness on the local index, relative to movements on international markets over the weekend, to the commodities sector. He described high inventory levels among mining and materials companies as a "big handbrake".Interest in the sector has waned as commodity prices slump, with prices for key commodities including copper, lead and zinc just shy of a three-month lows.
Iron ore held steady on Monday at $US146.30 a tonne, but is yet to recoup losses made over last week.
The price of iron ore "probably peaked" at about $US159 per metric tonne in February, said Morgan Stanley analysts Joel Crane and Peter Richardson, adding that they expect the steel-making commodity will slump to average $133 per tonne over the year.
"The latest data points for steel inventories with traders and mills show that stocks have experienced a typical, seasonal rebuild," the analysts wrote.
Resources companies Mineral Deposits, Paladin Energy and Mount Gibson Iron were among the worst performing stocks on the index.
Mineral Deposits shed 4.76 per cent to $3.80. Uranium miner Paladin Energy lost 4.70 per cent to $1.015, Mount Gibson wound back 3.70 per cent to $0.65 cents.
CSR shed 2.86 per cent to $2.16 after announcing it would cut 150 jobs in its Sydney plant. The company revealed in a trading update that full year profit was likely to come in at between $30 million and $34 million, less than half the $76.3 million originally expected.

Glyn, Elinor: Three Weeks. V 1. 16 January 2013
Elinor Glyn's risque masterpiece, Three Weeks (1907) tells of an young Englishman's brief but passionate affair with the exotic and mysterious "Mme Zalenska", and its consequences.
A popular romantic novel of that era, in which a single young man has an affair with a married woman, was definitely hot stuff, and the book was condemned as immoral in some sections of the US.
It was made into a very successful movie in 1924, with Eileen Pringle as "Mme Zalenska".
This edition uses the Gutenberg text, which needed only a few fixes (mostly hard returns in mid-sentence). I created a cover incorporating a publicity still from the 1924 movie showing Eileen Pringle draped over a tiger skin, a table of contents, and, for fun, added the famous but anonymous little ditty:
Would you like to sin
With Elinor Glyn
On a tiger skin
Or would you prefer
To err with her
On another fur?

Perry declares flood disaster in Bexar
Updated 11:30 pm, Thursday, June 6, 2013
AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday signed a disaster declaration for Bexar County, enabling victims of recent flooding to apply for assistance in the form of long-term, low-interest loans.
The declaration was requested after the May 25 record rainfall that caused an estimated $10 million in damage to public property. It allows qualified individuals and businesses to receive more economical loans from the Small Business Administration, Perry's spokesman Josh Havens said via email.
"That's positive, it's great," said Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff. "We're pleased that he signed it."
Wolff and San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro requested the designation last week.
News Channel
Three people were killed in the storm. The historic flooding destroyed 22 homes, including 14 near Mission Espada, according to Bexar County and the San Antonio Chapter of the American Red Cross, which housed about 150 flooding victims in four area shelters until the last one finally closed Thursday. After residents complained about the lack of a warning system, officials are considering options.
"I appreciate Gov. Perry's quick response," Castro said. "These funds are sorely needed to restore important infrastructure."
This week, a damage estimate was provided to Commissioners Court that stated $9 million was needed to repair city and county roads, buildings and equipment, the Express-News reported. Another $1 million was estimated in repairs to the San Antonio River's Mission Reach.
The tally didn't include damage to unfinished portions of the Mission Reach, which officials said remains the responsibility of the contractor, Zachry Construction Corp.

Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler welcomed us to the show and we're ready to go. They put over the network television debut of Wrestlemania XXIV on MyNetwork TV.Batista's music hit and he came out to the ring. Batista v. Santino MarellaSantino popped up on the ring and put over the honk-o-meter for us all to view. He then whipped out a brain barometer. He said the avg. human has six trillion brain cells. Santino has 10 trillion. Batista on the other hand, only has 12. Batista's laughing because honestly, this is pretty hilarious. He's leaving Batista in worse shape than the US economy. Batista clocked Santino with a huge lariat before nailing him with multiple shoulder thrusts in the corner. He followed it up with a big whip followed by a clothesline before nailing a spine buster. One big Batista Bomb later, that's all she wrote. Winner: Batista via pin fallAfter the match, Beth got on the ring apron and was talking trash to Batista. As he smiled at her, JBL showed up from behind and leveled Batista with a clothesline from hell. Batista's selling it like he's a dead deer. Twitch and all. Todd Grisham is in the back with Shawn Michaels. He said HBK would team with a mystery partner. HBK said ten years ago when he trained Cade he knew he was good but what happened last week wouldn't ever happen again. HBK put over the ladder match at No Mercy before Grisham asked him who his partner would be. HBK said it wouldn't be Batista... he teased it being Hogan and Austin and even Bret Hart. He said he needed to find a partner who actually liked him. ****Commercial****JTG v. The MizJTG and Miz traded go behinds before Miz backed JTG up into the corner. JTG reversed a whip before being dropped onto the apron. After a flip for t he heck of it, JTG hit a shoulder block and a rolling snap mare for a one count.JTG grabbed a side headlock and hit a diving upper cut before getting hung up on the top rope. Miz slammed him into the corner before hitting his running knee. Miz stomped away on JTG on the ground and dropped a leg drop across the throat for a two count. Miz slapped on a cravat. JTG fought out and caught a roll up but Miz kicked out and went back on the advantage with a lariat. We're back in the cravat before JTG blocked a lariat and a kick before JTG hit a springboard leg drop. JTG hit a wheel kick before hitting a second rope senton for a two count. He gathered Miz before eating a punch to the grill. JTG dodged an upper cut and flat backed Miz with a punch. He was distracted by the shenanigans from Shaad and Morrison on the outside just long enough for Miz to hit the kick, knee, neck breaker 'reality check' combo for the win.Winner: The Miz via pin fallJamie Noble is approaching Jillian about something. She sang, then Dolph Ziggler showed up. He's got a mean hand shake. ****Commercial****King William Regal and Leyla are watching from a throne on the stage.Paul Burchill & Katie Lea v. Jamie Noble & Mickie JamesLooks like Mickie will hang out with everyone's favorite pervert. Burchill and Noble started things off. Burchill put a big beat down on Noble with punches and knees. Noble fought back briefly only to be nailed into the corner. Katie Lea looked for the cover but only got a two count. Katie tagged Noble with some kicks on the ground until Noble pushed her into Mickie. Mickie tags in and puts a few forearms in her face before hitting a snap mare.Burchill tripped up Mickie allowing Katie to get back in the match. Katie grabbed Mickie and has her in a modified under-hook chicken wing. The crowd rallied Mickie who fought back with some punches and hit a neck breaker. Noble hopped around looking for a tag on the outside of the ring. Both women struggled to the corner. Noble got the hot tag and began uncorking some awesome stuff including a missile drop kick for a two count that was interrupted by Katie Lea. Mickie cut Katie off but Burchill was able to hit a shot to the gut to get back into things. Noble countered a neck breaker attempt with an awesome northern lights suplex into a cross arm breaker. Burchill taps and it's over.Winners: Jamie Noble & Mickie James via submissionAfter the match Noble and James taunted King Regal and Leyla who were observing from the stage.****Commercial****The Priceless crew is in the bowels of the arena looking for Kane it looks like. They said he was a second generation superstar because his dad was Paul Bearer or something. He aid if they maybe acted as a unit out there, they should be ok. Dibiase said he wanted to make sure they were on the same page. Kane turned to him and said he doesn't take orders from anyone. He said he was going to massacre Rey Mysterio tonight whether they were on the same page or not. He told them to stay out of his way. Lance Cade has some new music. And a hell of a cow lick. He put over his win over Shawn Michaels last week. Truth be told, in the last 3 months, he learned more from Chris Jericho than he learned from HBK in 10 years. He said his proof of that was last year. Jericho was a better teacher, influence and better person... period. He said as far as tonight goes, he could care less who his partner is going to be. He was either going to lose to him like last week or lose like he's going to this Sunday. He said when No Mercy was over, it'd be Chris Jericho who was still World Heavyweight Champion. ****Commercial****Rey Mysterio, Evan Bourne, CM Punk & Kofi Kingston v. Cody Rhodes, Manu, Ted Dibiase & KaneManu started with Bourne and Bourne's using Mysterio as an axebefore being catapulted over the top rope. The tag champs are over the top rope and getting hit with planchas. Mysterio's on Kane with a senton... everyone's flying.... commercial break go!****Commercial****We came back to Cody controlling Evan Bourne in the middle of the ring with a chicken wing..Manu tagged in and his pony tail is off so you know it's business. He drops Bourne on his head for a two count before punching him in the face for a little while. While Bourne was able to get a tag, Rhodes cut off Punk rather quickly and tied him up into knots on the mat.After the leg lock sequence, Kane tagged in and just began stomping on Kane because that's what he does. He choked Punk in the corner while looking at Mysterio the whole time. The heels are clicking on all cylinders as Ted Dibiase tagged in and let Kane upper cut Punk in the back of the dome before working that leg again. Punk was worked to the corner and tried to fight out but got cut off. Rhodes tagged in and after a double team suplex, got a two count. Rhodes stayed on the leg stomping and tearing away at it before tagging in Dibiase who came sailing off the top rope with an axe handle. Manu wants him some and tags in and drops a knee on the, uh, knee.... Manu put on a twisting leg lock on Punk who tried to get a roll up but Manu managed to quickly escape and envelop him with a big forearm. Rhodes is in and he and Cody slug it out a bit before Kane's coming in. Rhodes held the leg down so Kane could stomp on it and Kane, yet again, is jaw jacking with Mysterio. The lapse in attention cost him as the former world champ was able to hit an enzeguiri and almost get to the corner except Kane PULVARIZED Mysterio with a big boot. Rhodes tagged in and missed an elbow drop allowing Kofi Kingston to come in and clean house on the heels. Kofi hit a big boom boom leg drop for a two count but Manu broke it up. Bourne took out Manu while Kane tagged in and looked for a choke slam on Kofi. Rey saved the day with a drop kick before taking Dibiase over the top rope with a head scissors. Kingston leapt at Kane in the corner who caught him in a HUGE FREAKING HUGE clothesline for the win. Winners: Kane, Manu, Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase via pin fallRey looks a little shocked. Kane's just laughing.****Commercial****Raw GM Mike Adamle is in the ring. He said Kane made a request and since he won, he'd honor it. He said if Kane won this Sunday, Rey Mysterio would remove his mask in the middle of the ring. Then Randy Orton's music hit.Adamle asked him if he could help him. Orton wanted to know if he had his cell phone on him. He was assuming he had to call Shane McMahon and make sure it was ok. Wants to know if he shines his shoes and picks up his dry cleaning. Orton didn't appreciate his decision not to re-suspend CM Punk last week and he needs to do it right now. If he wasn't happy, Mike wouldn't be, either. Mike may run things on Raw, but when he was healthy, he would own Raw. When he was back he'd need Orton on his side more than he needed Shane McMahon. JBL's music hit and he came out. He's in a bad mood because he lost money on the stock market tonight. He said he was JBL and his wife is powerful... uh, yeah. He said he'd defeat Batista next week and would be the world champion shortly. He said next week, Orton would be talking about the past. He called Orton a one armed gimp living in the past. He wanted Adamle to make sure bozo the one armed clown never got a shot at the title. Batista's music hit and he pops up behind him and JBL knows what's coming. Batista hit a big spear and looked down a JBL with the mic. He said he knew JBL had a bad week, but at No Mercy, it'd get a lot worse. Santino is in the back giving his number out on the phone. Beth is there and glaring at him wondering who he was talking to. Some sick kid named Frankie he promised to win his match for tonight. He told her to forget about Frankie as it was her time tonight. She doesn't think it's a good idea right now. She couldn't have him screwing it up for her this week. He said there was a reason she didn't have a Fabulous Moolah-meter... said it must be a female problem...****Commercial****Candice Michelle & Kelly Kelly v. Beth Phoenix & Jillian HallCandice opened up with some big strikes to start things off before tagging in Kelly who grabbed an arm wringer and tagged Candice right back in for a axe handle off the top rope. Beth overpowered Candice though and tagged in Jillian who immediately went after her with strikes to the face. Candice fought out of the corner and hit a side Russian leg sweep for a quick one count.Candice went for a head scissors but was planted with a face buster before Jillian stepped on her face. Beth tagged in and delivered a kick to the mid section before nailing a pair of back breakers for a two count. Jillian tagged in and slammed Candice's face off the mat a few times before slapping on a rear chin lock. Jillian grabbed a surf board before Jillian slammed her head into the canvas yet again. She whipped Candice to the corner only to eat some knees on the hand spring elbow attempt. Candice hit a heel kick and made the hot tag to Kelly who hit some forearms on Beth. She hit a nice head scissors move before flipping out of a caught kick only to get clocked with a clothesline for a cover attempt that was broken up by Candice.Jillian dragged Candice out of the ring. Kelly went for a roll up but Beth rolled with the momentum and hit her tiger clutch face buster for the win.Winners: Jillian Hall & Beth Phoenix via pin fall****Commercial****Deuce v. The Great Khali.... oh good lord it's the Great CharlieRunjin Singh is even here...Haas is having another identity crisis. He cuts the promo of the year. Singh says 'behold his awesome power'. Some more non sense and Singh says 'when prepared correctly, curry is both nutritious and delicious'. He wants Deuce to hit the ropes and he chopped him in the head. Deuce hit a kick to the gut only for Haas to kill him with a head butt. He went for the Charlie bomb, but Deuce hit a drop kick. Deuce hit a kick to the gut and a face buster before he got a big boot in the grill. Haas fired up and went to the top rope and hit a flying lariat for the win. The whig is back on and he's screaming some more. Winner: Charlie Haas via pin fallNow Khali is here and Haas looks scared or really excited. Singh is making the introduction. The Great Charlie and the Great Khali. They're 'aaaah-ing' each other. Khali is struggling not to laugh and instead chops Haas in the head and aaaaaahhhhhs us all. ****Commercial****World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho came down to the ring with Lance Cade and said he was insulted when people began wishing him luck in his match. He was better than HBK. Jericho showed everyone how he was going to smash Michaels face with the ladder as Cade demonstrated it all for us. He declared he'd beat him unconscious and he'd slam the ladder on his neck. He said he was the best in the world and when you were that good, you didn't need luck.****Commercial****Chris Jericho & Lance Cade v. Shawn Michaels & Triple HTriple H quickly flattened Jericho only to go for the high knee and get caught nearly in the Walls of Jericho. Lance Cade got the tag and exploded into the ring at Triple H with strikes but was quickly cut down with right hands.HBK tagged in and he nailed Cade with a clothesline before tackling Chris Jericho and chasing him around the ring side area. Cade caught him with a big boot on his way into the ring before tagging in the champion who quickly hammered away on HBK's head. Jericho nailed some shoulder thrusts in the corner before tagging in Lance Cade who hit a shot to the gut. Jericho tagged right back in and hit a snap mare and cinched in a modified sleeper hold as the crowd attempted to rally Michaels. Michaels broke the hold and hit a flying forearm and the two are left flailing on the mat. HBK made it to the corner and here comes the WWE Champion. Triple H hit the high knee and the face buster before dispatching of Chris Jericho on the ring apron. He hit a big clothesline and then dumped Cade to the mat with a big spine buster. Triple H went for the pedigree but instead got nailed with a Code Breaker. Cade hit a huge lariat on Michaels as he and Cade hammered away on Michaels in the mat. The Ref calls for the bell and it's a DQ.Winners: Triple H & Shawn Michaels via DQThe two continued the assault before getting a ladder out. Jericho was in the ring with the ladder and then noticed Triple H with the sledge hammer. Jericho took off and Cade got nailed. Michaels lined Cade up and nailed him with sweet chin music before Triple H capped it off with a pedigree. HBK and Jericho stared each other down before Michaels scaled the ladder and delivered the big flying body splash onto Jericho. RAW THOUGHTSShow Thoughts-- Well overall, it was a pretty decent show, a strong 'show before a ppv' show. The main event scene seems a little stunted these days. HBK, Batista and JBL seem pretty predictable week to week. That's not the end of the world though, as the mid card has just been incredibly awesome of late. The run down is pretty impressive:Kane is as interesting as he's been in five-six years. His ring work looks far more motivated. His promos have been flat out sensational. His mannerism don't look clowny. They look straight disturbing. He's really re-captured the intensity he had when he originally unmasked and it's good to see him back in the thick of things. While his feud with Mysterio has been a little clumsy in presentation, it's been flat out great in terms of producing good TV action week in and week out. Can't go wrong with that. The youngsters are just the highlight of the show every week. CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, Dibiase, Rhodes and Manu... you can go on and on. With the Miz and Morrison showing up weekly it seems like the mid card is deep and absolutely entertaining. Even the lower mid card stuff... the stuff they slightly gloss over each week... has been a gas. The Noble-Regal feud has been awesome. Santino's fruitless chase of the Honkey Tonk Man's record and ever-complicated relationship with Beth Phoenix has provided some awesome comic relief. Even Charlie Haas, whose identity crisis has been well documented in past weeks, is bringing something to the table. All in all, you can't go wrong at all with the Raw mid card.I for one, am glad to see the HBK-Jericho feud come to an end this Sunday. It's sort of gasping for air I think, even though they're still getting the obligatory reaction. Hopefully this match provides us with the kind of blow off we really wanted from the feud that we didn't get at Unforgiven. Dusting off DX again, is getting tired. Time to move on.Overall a solid, very FUN show tonight.Overall Grade: BQuick ResultsBatista def. Santino MarellaThe Miz def. JTGJamie Noble & Mickie James def.

(Last Week: World Heavyweight Champion)-- Seemed like the obligatory week before a big match build for Jericho tonight. He cuts a good promo then shows strong in a tag loss. Decent enough effort this week, and I'm putting money on him keeping the belt on Sunday.Intercontinental Champion: Santino Marella 11-11, 18 points (Last Week: Intercontinental Champion) --Decent night from Santino promo wise as always. Getting smooshed by Batista is a mixed bag. On one hand, given the character, it's ok. On the other hand, he IS IC Champion. He could get some sort of advantage I guess.1. Shawn Michaels 17-5-1, 24pts. (Last Week: 1) -- The tag win surely cements him in the #1 contender spot. With Michaels mulling his full time status with the company over lately, this could be his last title match for a while. I'm hoping we get a doozy.2. Batista 7-6-2, 16 Points (Last Week: 3) -- Seems to be trading the #2 spot with Punk quite a bit these days, but a strong squash win and getting even with JBL helps his cause. Looks to be headed towards a title match with Jericho at Cyber Sunday.3. CM Punk 8-6-2, 23 Points (Last Week: 2) -- Seems to be one of those guys who seems to stay strong even though he takes losses. He lost and Batista won this week, so I'm moving Batista ahead of him for the time being, but for the most part, he's been kept fairly strong.4. Kane 5-7, 9 Points (Last Week: 5) -- Right now, he's the comeback wrestler of the year. In a huge way. In the ring he's ten times better. On the mic he's never been this good. Is Kane a super worker? No, of course not, but he's easily the most interesting he's been since late 2003.5. JBL 16-22, 28 points (Last Week: 4)- - Seems to be floundering a little bit. Just when he seems on track, he sort of meanders for a little while. I'd really like to see them put him in a blood feud. He's starting to slide into 'flat' again.6. Ted Dibiase, Jr. 8-4, 17 Points (Last Week: 6) -- See Rhodes.7. Cody Rhodes 13-10, 21 points (Last Week: 7) -- Hard to knock these guys who it seems every week not only make the most of their promo time, but consistently produce the best match of the show it seems. They've just been a ton of fun.8. Rey Mysterio 2-3, 4 Points (Last Week: 8) -- You'd think the guy would be a little more conscious of himself after all the injuries he's amassed over the past few years, but man, the guy is still bumping like a crazy man. A minor set back tonight, but I'm looking VERY forward to his match with Kane on Sunday.9. William Regal, 5-6, 13 points (Last Week: 9) -- Regal needs to use his throne. Every night. 10. Kofi Kingston 7-6, 17 points (Last Week: 10) -- This kid has so much energy and really is an act unto himself. He's got sensational charisma and really is a neo-RVD. They keep him hanging around every week, and with no one behind him doing much, he'll stay in the top ten.OTHERS:John Cena 19-13, 34 points. (Last Week: NR) Randy Orton 10-9-2, 20pts.

The Economics of Engineering - Charlie Springer advocates economically astute innovation
Calling Springer a self-made man is an understatement. After he graduated from high school at age 16, he entered Purdue's Indianapolis extension in 1948. He left soon thereafter to, as he puts it, "enter the world of physical labor." He subsequently enlisted in the Air Force, where he spent several years living in a trailer — and he noticed something. His landlord was making a small fortune. That observation would burn in Springer's mind for years to come.
Realizing he needed more education to shape the life he wanted for his wife and children, he returned to Purdue to complete his degree in mechanical engineering. Springer worked in industry for a time after graduation — and rather successfully. But he still had that dream of making it big in the trailer-park business.
So began Springer's journey into what he calls "the fires of entrepreneurship." After scouting several Florida locations, he made his first land purchase in 1961 on a lot with fewer than 30 trailers.
The lessons learned during those few lean years laid the groundwork for his mindset today. Engineers are idea people. They provide solutions. But if the solution comes at a prohibitive cost — and, he says, if today's students fail to learn how to manage not only a project's finances — but their own — their impact is greatly diminished.
After having built more than 1,200 mobile homes in lots across the Tampa area — including 725 currently in use — Springer looked for ways to give back. "I've got a tradition with the Purdue family," he says. "My father graduated in 1927, my older brother in 1950 and a younger brother in 1970. Without Purdue and the confidence I attained by having my Purdue education, I do not think the success I have achieved would have been possible."
His success spurred him to make a $750,000 gift to the School of Mechanical Engineering. Of that sum, $250,000 has been used to establish the Charles E. and Louise W. Springer Lecture Series in Economics and Innovation. The remaining $500,000 was used to create the Charles and Louise Springer Classroom in Economics and Innovation. Together, the two gifts provide ongoing opportunities for engineering students to supplement their core curriculum by making fiscally and economically responsible decisions.
Tom Malott (BSME '62, HDR '02), former president and CEO of Siemens Energy and Automation, gave the inaugural lecture on March 26, 2012. Titled "The Impact of Innovation on Economic Growth and Living Standard," Malott began: "A common-sense understanding of economics is very important for engineers. Most every day you will face in your careers a situation that requires sound economic reasoning."
Dovetailing with the lecture series is a new classroom built in the Caterpillar Product Engineering and Realization Laboratory (PEARL). Dedicated in fall 2011, the classroom is next to PEARL's product realization and engineering lab. Students working on senior capstone design projects — focusing on initial modeling and initial conceptualization of prototypes — get theory in the classroom, and then apply it next door. Ultimately, the classroom reinforces Springer's mission to educate engineers to be innovative on a budget. State-of-the-art, the classroom gives students ready access to Skype and video conferencing with industry professionals. Here, they learn about simulated design and are asked to consider the marketability of their designs.
Even at age 80, if Springer needs a ditch dug, he does it himself, whether with a backhoe or a square-edge shovel. It's that enterprising spirit that led him to accomplish his lifelong dream. He says he wasn't always the most naturally talented student, but his own ambition and hard work have paid dividends — both personally, and now to a grateful alma mater.
"Purdue taught me how to think, how to solve problems and how to be successful in business by using analytical processes. They've helped me build a good life. Now it's time for me to give back."

Hey folks,
On eBay I've thrown up my barely-used pair of gray FiveFingers KSO size "40". I wear men's size 10 to 10 1/2 normally, and these fit perfectly. They were only worn once, and have no damage and minimal wear to the sole. I'm needing $$$ for furniture, so these have to go.
Just search for vibram kso on eBay and you'll find them.

Thinking is driven by questions. Had no questions been asked by those who laid the foundations for a discipline, the field would never have been developed in the first place. Furthermore, every discipline stays alive only to the extent that fresh questions are generated and taken seriously as the driving force in a process of thinking. To think through or rethink anything, one must ask questions that stimulate thought.
Deep questions drive us to delve beneath the surface of ideas; they force us to deal with complexity.

Volume 9, Issue 5: Poetics
Douglas Jones
Then I wondered in my wits what woman it might be
Who could show from Holy Scripture such wise words,
And I conjured her in the high name, ere she went away,
To say who she really was that taught me so well.
"I am Holy Church," she said, "you ought to know me:
I befriended you first and taught the faith to you.
You gave me gages to be guided by my teaching
And to love me loyally while your life lasts."
So begins one of the earliest scenes in Piers Plowman, that engaging medieval dream allegory (c. 1380 A.D.) attributed to William Langland. This now often neglected poem presents one of the best corridors into late medieval life. One commentator suggests that, "Piers Plowman is in many ways more representative of its time than Chaucer's poetry. It is hard to think of any other work that so strikingly opens a window on the Middle Ages and offers such a record of what it felt like to live and work and think with the constraints, channels, and possibilities of the period." As such, the poem also captures so many of the values which make up the vision of Medieval Protestantism expressed in this issue.

Validation and testing are defaults. see the documentation, run the documentation
examples. Then modify to fit yor purposes.
Unfortunately, I don't think that the NNTBX works well with crossvalind.
It is sufficient to use network functions net.divideFcn, net.divideParam
>> lookfor divide
divideind - Partition indices into three sets using specified indices.
divideint - Partition indices into three sets using interleaved indices.
dividerand - Partition indices into three sets using random indices.
dividetrain - Partition indices into training set only.
dividevec - Divide problem vectors into training, validation and test vectors.

Hello, I am now 2 1/2 weeks post revision. I had 390cc salines and my right deflated, so I went with 510 silicone implants. My right breast is STILL lower, smaller and really lumpy. Also, when I lay on my back my right side moves into my armpit. I go see my PS on Monday, but I'm not sure what I need to ask, i guess...lol. I kinda think I should have had a lift too and that was never mentioned....what do I do? I know it's still early, but am I going to need another revision?
Not Happy with Breast Revision. Lumpy, Smaller and Lower? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Thin coverage over breast implants
You do not have enough thickness of tissue to look good with your implants as they are literally showing through the skin (the bumps and lumps and wrinkles). If they are not under the muscle they should be put there next time. The pocket excess needs to be corrected too. If you are already under the muscle, you might need to consider a tissue matrix like Strattice placed over the implants.
Not happy with breast revision
A Preoperative photo would be helpful...looks like you need more soft tissue coverage over your implants, perhaps a site change I.e. under the muscle if your implants are currently over...if your implant moves into your armpit when lying down, the pocket there needs to be closed with a revision also.
Strattice in Augmentation Revision
Very thin tissue over implant. I would agree with Dr. Rand that Strattice would be helpful in this situation. The Strattice would support the implant weight to some degree but most importantly in your case it would increase the coverage over the implant so that it's wrinkles are not visible.

Stone: NSA metadata program captures small fraction of calls
Contrary to public perceptions, the National Security Agency's controversial program to collect information on phone calls to, from and within the U.S., gathers such metadata on only a small percentage of U.S. telephone traffic, a member of President Barack Obama's surveillance review group said Thursday.
"In fact, the NSA collects a very small percentage of our phone logs," University of Chicago Professor Geoffrey Stone said during a symposium sponsored by the advocacy group Public Citizen. "The numbers it collects are effectively randomly collected…They do it by service provider. If you happen to use a service provider who participates in their program, you're number might get picked up. If you use another company, your number won't get picked up."
Stone did not specify which providers are involved in the program, which is aimed at preventing terrorist attacks. He also said he could not disclose the precise percentage of calls about which the NSA collects data.

Here's the basic problem: Prop. 1A is supposed to provide money for a true high-speed rail system — nothing else. But no true high-speed rail system is proposed to be built. Instead, the authority is going to spend all the money that it has ($3.5 billion from the feds and $2.5 billion that it will try to get from Prop 1A) on a 130-mile "initial segment" that is conventional rail only — not electrified (required by Prop 1A), no high-speed trackage, no lightweight special rolling stock, none of the traditional components of a true high-speed rail system. The rationale is that this is "preliminary" only, that it will "lead to" a true high-speed rail system someday, and that this is just the "first piece" of the overall statewide system. Using similar logic, the authority is now trying all over the state (the Peninsula included) to raid Prop 1A to aid local commuter services and transit agencies, saying that their "improvement" is just the first step towards bringing true high-speed rail to the regions. This won't fly.
The voters, in approving Prop 1A , only voted for the money to be spent on true HSR, not some preliminary improvement to a local commuter service made up of conventional rail equipment. Applying the authority's logic, the entire $9 billion in Prop. 1A would be frittered away all over the state in these preliminary projects before one foot of true high-speed trackage is laid. If the authority wants to operate this way, it should put Prop. 1A back before the voters and ask if they want their money spent in this way. Shall we guess the answer? The last Field Poll said that two-thirds of the voters want high-speed rail stopped dead in its tracks.
But, there are further fundamental problems as to why Prop. 1A cannot be used for the new plan: Prop. 1A does envision the project being built in "pieces" or segments. But, those segments each have to be "usable segments," meaning that they have to be true high-speed rail segments, with all the components of a true high-speed rail system and with at least two high-speed rail stations at each end. The funding and financial requirements are rigorous. The authority is first required to describe the "usable segment" that it proposes to build. It then must demonstrate that it has the money in the bank, or immediately accessible, to complete that particular segment. This is designed to protect the state from the financial risk of an uncompleted or abandoned project. The revised business plan indicates that the "usable segment," which the authority plans to build, runs from the Central Valley to the Los Angeles basin and will cost an additional $25 billion on top of the $6 billion for the initial (conventional) segment. That $25 billion is non-existent; there is no hope that it will come from the federal government — the House has expressly announced that California will not get one more dime for high-speed rail. It is pure speculation to say that in the future, the feds will come forth with tens of billions for California HSR. No other source of funding is available, and cap and trade cannot work because it would be illegal to do so. This fundamental funding requirement of Prop 1A (enough money has to be in the bank to complete the segment) has not, and cannot, be met, and therefore no Prop. 1A funds whatsoever can be given to the authority for the Central Valley. This exact same defect was noted by the government oversight bodies with respect to the previous business plan. The high-speed rail emperor still has no clothes.
As former high-speed rail board member and chairman Quentin Kopp recently said, this attempted illegal raid on Prop. 1A is the "greatest train robbery" in California history. I agree. The authority is engaging in high-speed spin in its effort to pull a high-speed scam on the citizens of California.
Michael J. Brady is a Redwood City attorney who writes frequently on high-speed rail matters.
