I attended a talk by the top Royal Ballet choreographer and dancer, Liam Scarlett. He is only 26, but he has already choreographed two exceptional ballets for the main stage at Covent Garden. And he still finds time to dance in the company.
Scarlett was discussing how he approached creating his 2011 work, Asphodel Meadows, around a particular piece of music, Poulenc's Double Piano Concerto. One could be intimidated, he said, by the scale and complexity of the Concerto. Where to start? How to break into the task? Whereas with narrative ballet there is a natural sequencing to follow, with an abstract work there is no obvious entry point. He explained that his own process was first to identify the 'epicentre' of the music, its emotional core. He knew that if he could just design the pas de deux around a particular romantic passage in the second movement, everything else would follow. Having got to the emotional heart of the music, he could work outwards to the rest of the piece.
I am often in meetings nowadays when a Client demands an idea that is media neutral, that extends across every channel, region, product and form of engagement. All the colours, in all the sizes. Such a panoramic demand can be rather intimidating. And I have found that telling the Creative Department we need to cover the walls with ideas is not entirely helpful.
I suspect that, following Scarlett's lead, the key to cracking this kind of challenge is not to consider it in its totality or in the abstract. Ideas tend to be born in the specific. The key is to find the epicentre of the task, to find its emotional heart. (more…)

GAMBIER, Ohio - On a busy night at the Kenyon Aquatic Center, the women's swimming team all but clinched victory at the Total Performance Invitational with five wins in eight events, including a school-record performance from freshman Lauren Church. Penn has totaled 898.5 points through two days of competition, with Kenyon in second place at 624.5 points.
The night began with the 200 Freestyle Relay, where the Quakers placed both their 'A' and 'B' teams in the top three. The 'A' team of Shelby Fortin, Dayae Choi, Christina Hurley and Emily Baturka just edged out Kenyon's 'A' team to the wall, winning by .14 with a time of 1:34.89. Later on, Fortin would add victories in the 50 Freestyle and 200 Freestyle to her haul this weekend, setting a meet and pool record in the 200 at 1:48.43 to win by over three seconds.
Church made her mark on the evening in the 100 Backstroke, breaking a four-year old school record with a time of 55.14. Sara Coenen previously held the record at 55.21.
Penn's other winner on the evening was Megan Alexander in the 400 IM. Alexander just edged out teammate Melissa Parratto to the wall, clocking in at 4:27.67 to Parratto's 4:27.78. Katherine Ashenfelter made it a 1-2-3 finish for the Red and Blue, touching the wall in 4:29.23.
Other top finishers for Penn included Taylor Sneed in the 200 Butterfly (2:02.52) and Anne Maercklein in the 100 Breaststroke (1:06.10). Both Sneed and Maercklein finished third in their respective races.

LIVERPOOL proved it can win without striker Luis Suarez as the team fought from behind to win 3-2 at West Ham in the Premier League.
Suarez was serving a one-match ban but the Reds struck twice late in the game to seal a win that sees them go just four points behind the top four Champions League spots.
Former West Ham defender Glen Johnson put Liverpool ahead after 11 minutes before Mark Noble's penalty kick and Steven Gerrard's own goal turned the game in West Ham's favor before the break.
It was another West Ham academy graduate in substitute Joe Cole who pulled Liverpool level in the second half with James Collins' own goal completing the comeback for Liverpool.
Elsewhere, Everton scored twice in stoppage time to beat Tottenham 2-1 at Goodison Park and move into fourth place in the Premier League table.
Tottenham took the lead when forward Clint Dempsey opened the scoring in the 76th minute from long range after taking a pass from Tom Huddlestone and turning neatly into space. Dempsey's strike took a slight deflection before looping over goalkeeper Tim Howard.
But the home side came to life in stoppage time with Steven Pienaar scoring against his former club with a header from Seamus Coleman's cross before Nikica Jelavic secured the win with a close-range finish from Apostolos Vellios' cross.
The victory extends Everton's league unbeaten run at home to 12 games and moves the Toffees above their north London opponents in the standings on goal difference. Tottenham drops to fifth place with 27 points.

My mom was treated over the past year for squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. The disease was stage IV. Her doctors have said that they did successfully treat the cancer. The chemoradiation therapy eliminated the primary tumor and eliminated cancer in the lymph node. I am still scared though. I read articles, and all of them have said the survival rates for this stage of oropharyngeal cancer is not very good at all. What can I do to ease my fears some? The chemo doctor told us that somehow the chemotherapy did not cause her white blood cell count to drop at all, and in fact it actually increased a bit to help fight the cancer. All of this is very confusing to me — her doctors saying they got it all and that she has a good prognosis, and the Internet articles saying that stage IV oropharyngeal cancer does not have a good survival rate at all. So please, if you can, give me some suggestions to help ease my fear and anxiety.
Cancer is a scary diagnosis, and I'm not sure there is anything that I or anyone else can say that will completely make your fears go away. But the first rule of cancer treatment is that a patient's prognosis is always better when there has been a good response to treatment. That seems like a no-brainer, but patients (and sometimes doctors) can lose sight of this.
Staging for cancer is very important, and it has an impact on prognosis and treatment plans. One use of cancer staging is so that medical professionals can communicate rapidly and accurately between each other. However, it was never intended as something a patient should be focused upon.
Also, survival rates are based on data from many different patients lumped or averaged together. Two patients with the same staging may not, in fact, have the same burden of disease. So, when it comes to prognosis and long-term survival, one patient with stage IV cancer may not be the same as another patient at the same stage.
If your mother has had a good response to chemoradiation and there is currently no evidence of cancer, I would take that as a good sign. And careful surveillance from this point on will detect any potential recurrences early, and early detection is a key to long-term survival.
Fighting cancer is a long battle, and I encourage my patients and their families to celebrate every victory that comes their way.

After losing more than eight million jobs during the Great Recession, more than 700,000 of them just in December of 2008, we have gotten more than 4.5 million jobs back. The unemployment rate is now 7.8% across the country, and we've had more than 30 months of private sector job growth. Many Americans are still struggling and too many are suffering, but there is more optimism about our future. The newest Federal Survey of Economic Conditions, "The Beige Book," said New England's economic development "continues to expand at a moderate pace" and that manufacturing and business service and real estate sales are up, commercial construction is up, and retail is mixed. It reported that prices are steady, no inflation is expected, and that the mood is "cautiously optimistic" in 2012, and more "bullish" for 2013. While times are still tough and we have a way to travel to return to the "pre-Wall Street crash of 2008" economy, Congress and President Obama were able to avoid another Great Depression and put the country back on the road to full recovery. It's a good time to review what policies helped small business, and what do we need to do next?
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the Stimulus) put more than $21 billion in new investment in small businesses. Congress eliminated all fees on SBA-backed loans. It also lifted the ceiling on the loan amount that the SBA would guarantee from 85% to 90%. There were significant small business tax cuts as well. Congress also passed The Small Business Jobs Act. This was supported by both the Small Business Majority and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the President of the National Small Business Association said at the time that "It doesn't matter what aspect of small business you are in, this bill has something for you." We created a new lending fund for community banks. We encouraged small business investments by cutting the capital gains tax on people who invested in small businesses, and passed legislation allowing businesses to use net operating losses in 2008 and 2009 to offset profits from five previous years, instead of the two years that had been allowed.
The positive effects of the 2010 Small Business Jobs Act are still being felt in New Hampshire. The Union Leader wrote an article on July 9, 2012, called "New NH Business Start-Up Fund Will Aid High-Tech Firms", and in it, they discuss how $4.5 million in federal funds is being used to back up a partnership between a private company and the NH Business Finance Authority. This will attract private money to invest in high-tech firms. BFA's Executive Director is quoted as saying, "It's a private market solution. We're backstopping the deal through an innovative guarantee mechanism, but it's largely driven by private capital." To which I say, "Perfect!" This is another success story, creating wealth and business in New Hampshire.
There is still so much to be done though. We still need a comprehensive jobs bill, and small businesses still need help. What can we do next?
Congress needs to cut through some red tape still. While we all know that there have to be rules of the road, we must do only what is necessary, and eliminate some of the paperwork and provide regulatory relief whenever rules are unnecessary or too heavy-handed.
To help entrepreneurs launch new businesses, we should let them set up a tax-preferred account like a Roth IRA, instead of dipping into their retirement savings too much.
It's a good idea to double the small business start-up tax deduction, and we should provide tax credits and deductions to encourage new technologies. I believe that we need to help small businesses get more contracts with the federal government and help them export products. We also need to fully fund the Small Business Administration.
Small businesses are the economic engine of our country. Our nation's full recovery depends on their full recovery and success. We have come so far, and they have worked so hard. We must not fail them now.
Former Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter represented New Hampshire's First District from 2007-2011, she is seeking a third term in the November, 2012 election. She wrote the proposal for and established a non-profit, social service agency, which continues to serve all ages. She taught politics and history and is a strong supporter of Medicare and Social Security.

Scoop: DECEPTION on NBC - Saturday, January 19, 2013
01/19/2013 (08:00PM - 09:00PM) (Saturday) : As Joanna (Meagan Good) continues to search for answers to Vivian's rumored drug overdose, many believe Edward (Tate Donovan) murdered Vivian. Robert (Victor Garber) must discreetly deal with a threat to his family while Julian (Wes Brown) goes down a self-destructive path to cope with the loss of his sister.
When wealthy socialite and notorious party girl VivIan Bowers is found dead of an overdose, no one is really surprised. The heiress to the Bowers pharmaceutical empire has been tabloid fodder for years: wild, pretty, privileged... and now dead at the age of 32. But for FBI agent Will Moreno (Laz Alonso, "Avatar"), things don't add up with this suspicious dynasty. Convinced that the troubled girl's death was a homicide, he has a clever plan to get to the truth. Her name is Detective Joanna Locasto (Meagan Good, "Think Like a Man"). Twenty years ago she was Vivian's best friend and practically grew up inside the Bowers' home. And when she appears at Vivian's funeral, the family re-embraces her and no one is the wiser. Joanna quickly begins to uncover dark secrets and clues about why Vivian's life was very much in danger. At the same time, she rekindles an old romantic relationship and rediscovers the allure of the luxurious lifestyle she once knew. She's about to see once again just how the other half lives... and dies.
Also starring are Victor Garber ("Alias"), Tate Donovan ("Damages"), Katherine LaNasa ("Alfie") and Ella Rae Peck ("Gossip Girl"). "Deception" comes from executive producer/writer Liz Heldens ("Friday Night Lights") and director Peter Horton ("Grey's Anatomy," "Dirty Sexy Money"). The series is from Universal Television and BermanBraun.

Nobody was hurt Tuesday morning when a vehicle jumped a curb outside the Harrison Room and smashed into a glass door while the banquet hall was being used as a voting precinct.
Penn Township police Chief John Otto said a woman in her 70s and a passenger were in the vehicle.
Witnesses told police the woman appeared to have hit the gas pedal instead of the brake when she was pulling out of a parking spot around 11:30 a.m., Otto said.
Voting continued at the precinct despite the incident.

Stocks drop as economy put brakes on stock rally
NEW YORK — A reminder that the economy still remains a long way from being fully healed after the Great Recession put the brakes on a January rally that has pushed stocks close to record levels. The Standard & Poor's 500 logged its biggest drop of the year.
Stocks started the day lower after a report showed that the U.S. economy unexpectedly contracted in the fourth quarter. That decline extended after the Federal Reserve said it would continue its bond-buying program to boost growth.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 44 points, or 0.3 percent, to close at 13,910.42, logging only its second decline in nine days. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 6 points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,501.96, its biggest decline since Dec. 28. The Nasdaq composite fell 11 points to 3,142.31.
Stocks remain on track for a great January.
The Dow Jones average has surged 6.2 percent since the start of the year, climbing close to 14,000 and within touching distance of its record level. The S&P 500 has gained 5.3 percent this month, close to its highest level in more than five years.

Henson a K-State Star From Day-One
- No. 1 in free throw percentage at .900, which included a record 17-of-17 for a single game
- No. 1 in career assists
- No. 2 in career steals
- No. 2 in 3-pointers
- No. 19 in all-time scoring, and with a single game of 41 points at Iowa State
But the one memory the member of the K-State All-Century team carries with him today over his playing days from 1986-1987 to 1989-1990 is this: "I'll always remember those afternoon conference games in Ahearn Field House with the light shining through those windows. My family would be there, my grandparents would be there, and we'd all go out to dinner after the game. Those were special days."
He also reflects, "Walking from the dressing room to the playing floor ... it gave you a feeling that you could jump up and dunk on a 12-foot goal. Your adrenalin was pumping because the student section made it so special."
And, Kansas State was playing winning basketball, which was so special.
In coach Lon Kruger's first four years as the head coach of the Wildcats it was Henson who was his point guard during winning seasons of 20, 25, 19 and 17 games. They were years when Henson became the first K-Stater to ever play in four NCAA Tournaments.
The best of those years was in 1987-88 when the 'Cats placed second in the Big 8 with an 11-3 record and won NCAA postseason games over LaSalle, DePaul and No. 1 seeded Purdue, before losing to Kansas in the Elite Eight in Pontiac, Mich.
"That was Mitch's team," said the now 45-year-old Henson in reference to All-American Mitch Richmond. "He was our star, plus we had a bunch of guys who loved to play and loved to work, and we defended like crazy. Our chemistry was terrific.
"We were all Mitch's biggest fan. We wanted him to be the player that he was," said Henson, who now sits beside Kruger on the Oklahoma bench as an assistant coach. "With guys like Charles Bledsoe, Will Scott and Fred McCoy around Mitch, you're going to win some games."
PRIOR TO K-STATE: Henson says of his home town of McPherson, Kansas: "I think there were more basketball goals in McPherson than anywhere in the country. You would see kids playing all over town. As a kid, you would grow up hearing about the state championships games, and it was a dream to be on one of those teams."
Henson grew up a K-Stater, but it was before the days of Kruger, who starred for the 'Cats from 1970-71 through 1973-74.
"I only heard of the stories of his toughness and leadership, which were two of the things I prided myself on," said Henson.
Like Kruger, Henson was smallish and not the swiftest afoot, but certainly athletic.
Henson was a finalist for the National Punt-Pass-Kick contest as a grade schooler; he held the Youth National Junior Olympic AAU record in the decathlon and high jump while in high school; he was a state track champion in the high jump and javelin; and, he was a two-time first-team All-Stater, not to mention "Mr. Basketball" in Kansas in 1986.
While his Wildcat heroics are well known in basketball, Henson also placed second in the decathlon at the Big 8 track and field championships.
"I got by in high school, but my lack of speed caught up with me in college," said Henson of his track and field days.
While young Mr. Henson is a member of the State of Kansas and K-State Athletics Halls of Fame, his father, Mike, is in the Kansas Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame for his accomplishments at McPherson High and Topeka High.
"McPherson won state championships before me with coach (Jay) Frazier, and Dad won state tournaments after me, but I never won one," said Henson.
On playing for his father, Henson gave a soft chuckle before saying, "It was good."
After a pause, he continued, "I was an emotional player, and at times couldn't control my mouth. At times that made for some long and quiet rides home after games and practices. Then if I had really been mouthy, he'd send me off to run and think about it."
We hope you enjoy K-State Sports Extra. We would like to hear your comments and any story ideas for future emails, so fire them our way. Contact Kelly McHugh, Mark Janssen or K-State Assistant AD for Communications Kenny Lannou.

'The Bachelorette' bachelor Joe Gendreau: Emily Maynard will pick Jef Holm -- because he's got money
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 05/25/2012
The Bachelorette
bachelor Joe Gendreau, a 27-year-old field energy advisor from Los Angeles, CA, was eliminated along with two other suitors during Monday night's broadcast of the ABC reality dating series' eighth season.
Joe was ousted during his first one-on-one date with
The Bachelorette
Emily Maynard
because she claimed there was just no spark, while fellow bachelors Aaron and Kyle were both eliminated during the second episode's Rose Ceremony.
During a Wednesday conference call with reporters, Joe talked to Reality TV World about his short-lived
The Bachelorette
Click here
to read what he had to say.
Below are some highlights from ABC's transcript of the rest of Joe's call with reporters -- including whether he'd go back and change how he handled private conversations with Emily in hindsight, whether he said he wants to have children in the near future or realized Emily and himself had entirely different priorities, and why he believed
The Bachelorette
experience was much easier for Emily than it was her bachelors.
I was wondering now that you have seen the show and Emily's comments and how she interacts with other guys, do you think her choosing to let you go was ultimately a good thing? Do you feel that maybe she made the right decision and you weren't compatible after all?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes, like, I think ultimately the decision she made was kind of, you know, it was her choice and I went into it very open minded -- entertaining the idea of possibly getting to know her more, which I guess we didn't really quite hit it off and it didn't work as planned.
And, yes, you know, I mean whether she made the right decision or not, it's kind of on her. But for my part, I was really happy with everything that happened. And I was able to put myself out there and just -- we just didn't really click well.
It seems like the sticking point really was this moment where she asked you, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" And it seemed like you hesitated and gave her a general "happy" answer she wasn't looking for. The question about having more children seemed to be a stumbling block for you as well. I don't know if you agree, but it seemed like that was the moment when she discovered you two didn't really jive.
Joe Gendreau:
Yes. I agree. She had asked me where do I see myself in five years, and to me, I'm kind of one, you know, that you might call happy, and you know, what with no regrets. And I think she was more looking for the, "I want to be here with these many kids," [answer] maybe more in detail.
And that kind of -- that kind of ultimately, I think, maybe altered her decision. So, you know, which was by all means, I didn't take offense by it or anything like that. I think she's really trying to look for the word, you know, determined in what she wants and maybe she didn't quite see that in me like as far as a specific role that she wants me to play or a guy who wants to play for her.
So, can you clarify if you're against having kids or did you just not want to get in the specifics with her?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes. You know, I'm definitely willing to have more kids or, you know, wanting to have kids in my life one day and I'll cross that bridge when I get there and stuff. But I mean, as far as being open to it, absolutely. I was not close minded about having more kids or marriage and all that stuff. Definitely I want to entertain the idea of all of that in my life.
I'm wondering how you would sum up the experience of being on
The Bachelorette
, and do you want to do more TV?
Joe Gendreau:
No -- no more TV. Great experience, I've met a tremendous amount of great guys that were in that house, all the production staff, great people. But I wouldn't probably entertain the idea of doing more TV, but ultimately great experience, great time, really, really, you know, it will be a great memory I'll have for the rest of my life.
Why would you be opposed to doing more TV?
Joe Gendreau:
Just personal, you know, just once was enough I guess you could say.
Are you back in Orlando?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes, I am. I am.
Could you talk a little bit about that?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes. A great opportunity arose for me to come to Orlando and work for a great company and I do quality control for them. And the show kind of ultimately led me back to Orlando, and it's a great opportunity.
On your one-on-one date with Emily, you wrote a very sweet note for the "love clock tradition" that was directed personally at her, but when she read hers afterwards, it was a bit more generic. Did you know at that point in time that maybe you weren't going to get the rose that night?
Joe Gendreau:
No, not really. I felt that she was very aware of the love clock and kind of maybe planned out her wish, whereas I felt I was more put on the spot and they asked me, "Hey, make a wish." And it was like, let it out right now, and it was really quick. And that's the best I could come up with, I was so on the spot. So I think she had a little time to come up with hers and she ultimately kind of planned that.
What was your opinion of Kalon while you were on the show? He's definitely standing out in a negative light amongst all the bachelors right now.
Joe Gendreau:
As far as Kalon, you know, he seems like a great guy. I don't really know him too well. But I wish him the best.
Emily said on your date that she wished it had gone badly just so that you'd know that your elimination was coming. Did you have any idea that it was coming -- that she was going to send you home -- or did you think things were going really well?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes, I thought it was going well.
The other men seemed quite surprised when you didn't return. Did you get along with them nicely?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes, I did. I did. All the guys were great guys in the house and I got along really well with them.
What did you make of Emily when she got quite emotional afterward letting you go. What was it like watching that for you?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes, you know, she is a great girl. I wish her the best and she was very nice and very sweet. And like I said, you know, I'm sure she'll be able to find the right guy for her.
When Emily asked you the question about what you see yourself doing in five years, what did you think of your answer in the moment and then when you watched it back on TV? Did you realize at the time it was going to be such an important question and did you view the conversation differently when you saw it play out?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes. You know, I mean that's just me. That was myself. I answered it truthfully and I was just myself, you know, where I see myself five years. I want to be happy with no regrets. That's something I'd like to achieve.
In hindsight, knowing the "five years" question was kind of the make or break question for your potential relationship with Emily and chances of getting a rose, if you could do that conversation over again, would you still answer the same way or try to come up with something a little more appealing to what Emily's evidently looking for?
Joe Gendreau:
No. Like I said, I would still just be myself and answer it truthfully in a way that I felt I, you know -- the way that I'd like to answer it and how I did. I wouldn't change my answer.
Do you wish you had done something differently after Emily let you go, like maybe fight to stay or try to change her mind?
Joe Gendreau:
No. After she made her decision, I was content with that. And, you know, I wanted to move on and I wish her the best. No, I don't think I would, you know -- if someone feels they make up their mind emotionally, that's a decision that they feel is right, then I respect that.
Are you rooting for any guy in particular to win Emily's heart?
Joe Gendreau:
My money is on Jef.
I want to go back to the idea that the show led you back to Orlando. Could you elaborate on that a little?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes. Like I said, I got a great career opportunity with a friend of a family member. I actually had taken off some time before the show and came and saw some family before the show and they were -- I got, you know, kind of a job offer and they said, "Hey, give me a call when you're off the show." So, I did and they ultimately led me back here.
What did being on the show do for you mentally?
Joe Gendreau:
The show by all means didn't have anything to do with the job at all or anything. And mentally, it was just a great experience. It was, you know, it was kind of like a nice vacation.
Emily kept Ryan in the car on their one-on-one date, and the bachelors didn't get to interact with Ricki at all during The Muppets show. Do you think that Emily is being too over-protective by keeping the guys away from Ricki?
Joe Gendreau:
No, I don't think so. You know, a single mother, I'm sure she wants to be really protective. I understand that.
Which of the guys do you think are ready and are not ready to be a father to a six-year old?
Joe Gendreau:
I got my money on Jef. As far as which one's not, I'm not too sure to be honest with you.
Why have you put your money on Jef?
Joe Gendreau:
I would say maybe, you know, he seems like a great guy.
Do you think Jef seemed compatible with Emily as well?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes, yes, I think so, maybe. And he's got some money. I'm sure that [comment] is going to put me in a dog house somewhere.
Do you think that Emily filming the show in her hometown sort of changed
The Bachelorette
experience for you guys? You said you were living in Los Angeles at one point, and that's normally the location where the show begins, so do you think Emily participating in her everyday mommy duties and such changed things?
Joe Gendreau:
Yes. I mean it's probably not as surreal for her, I guess you could say. As far as like the guys [being] shipped from all over the country, it's much more surreal for them probably -- all of us being put in a castle or a house.
So I definitely think for her, it could probably -- while it was happening and filming was going on, it probably wasn't as big of a deal to her, I guess you could say, as compared to some of the guys [because] it was more like surreal to them.
And, you know, this was round two for her. So she was more comfortable probably with producers and cameras in her face compared to the guys. So she definitely -- I feel like it had a little bit of an advantage.
Emily said that she was quite looking forward to the date because she thought you looked like Matthew McConaughey. I just wanted to know if you've gotten that before and what you thought about it.
Joe Gendreau:
I've gotten the Matthew McConaughey look-alike comment before. I think it is a compliment. He's a good looking guy, so what can I say? And as far as, you know, his attitude, I kind of like to say I have a little bit of a similar attitude. I'm a laid-back guy who likes to have a good time.
Before you went on that one-on-one date, did you think at all or have any conversations with the other guys about what you guys thought she would be specifically looking for in a guy? Did you think, "She's definitely going to want someone who wants to be a dad," or were you just like, "I'm going to be myself and see what happens?"
Joe Gendreau:
Yes, yes, I mean as far as talking with the guys and stuff, we, you know, I really didn't give it much of a thought as a type of guy she was looking for. I just went into it as being myself 100 percent and see if it would work out.
You brought up Jef a couple of times. What qualities in him do you think would make a good father?
Joe Gendreau:
He seems like a caring individual and very financially stable.
Do you know if Jef got a chance to talk to Emily about Ricki at all? Did they have a conversation?
Joe Gendreau:
I'm not too sure to be honest.
Just to be clear, do you think you felt any more chemistry with Emily than she felt towards you?
Joe Gendreau:
No, not really.

Ron Howard's splendid The Da Vinci Code is the Holy Grail of summer blockbusters: a crackling, fast-moving thriller that's every bit as brainy and irresistible as Dan Brown's controversial bestseller.
I can't wait to see Borat, which has twice as many laughs as all of this year's other movie comedies combined, for a fourth time.
Happy Feet is not only the year's best animated movie, it's one of the year's best movies, period. Go.
The climactic shootout, which goes on for 15 minutes and has an astronomical body count, is a masterpiece of its kind.

Four stars simply aren't enough for Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, which just may be the most entertaining movie I've ever labeled a masterpiece in these pages.
May not have the starry casts of the Coens' more recent films, but it has plenty of heart and soul.
You have never seen a movie like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon because there has never been a movie like it.

An absorbing, deeply affecting, well-acted --and remarkably evenhanded -- antiwar statement. It's also incredibly suspenseful and very blackly funny.
It's that priceless dialogue, the bitter ironies, the magnificently skeevy cast of characters and even the overall structure that make The Seven Five "Goodfellas" in blue.

The moral alertness of the film is of the level normally confined, in military pictures, to talky courtroom scenes, yet Eastwood skillfully works dilemmas into propulsive and suspenseful action.
A hilarious and touching animated masterpiece that takes a gloriously imaginative, sometimes scary leap into the mind of a girl on the cusp of adolescence.

Director Andrey Zvyagintsev's film combines allegory, brutal melodrama, black humor and strikingly beautiful compositions, each frame dense with meaning. Leviathan stays absolutely gripping, right up to the O. Henry twist that slams the film shut.
A rare case of an American remake that actually improves on a European movie.
Brilliantly acted and directed, Ava DuVernay's towering Selma is Hollywood's definitive depiction of the 1960s American civil rights movement — as well as perhaps the most timely movie you'll see this year.
24-karat stuff, even if it has a soul of tin. With the voices of Ewan McGregor, Robin Williams and Mel Brooks, Robots is a giddy erector-set update of "Toy Story" with a splash of "The Wizard of Oz."
Russian Dolls is itself a delightful mini-trip to Europe. Its overly cute bits are like cinematic tourist traps, but it's the beauty that stays with you.
This flick is fast and ferocious, his (Sidney Lumet) sharpest and best since "Prince of the City" (1980) - and surely one of the year's finest.
The year's best film so far.

- $12 for a one-hour tour of Milton House for four ($24 value)
- $16 for a one-hour tour of Milton House for six ($36 value)
The Milton House Museum is a historic building that was part of the Underground Railroad. Tours teach visitors about the historic passageways and history of the building itself, which is the oldest poured-concrete structure in the United States. The first available tours begin on Saturday, May 25, and run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on select Friday evenings (June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25, August 8 and 22), with new tours beginning every 30 minutes.
The Milton House
According to historic record, no parts of the Underground Railroad are documented to have been located underground, except one. And that is where Milton House comes into play. Built in 1844 by Joseph Goodrich, an inn owner known for his stance against slavery, the structure's underground tunnel led to a basement that became a safe place where runaway slaves could rest and hide away from prying eyes before finishing their journeys. Today, the hexagon-shaped building stands as one the oldest poured-concrete structures in the United States. Tours and exhibits send guests back in time to learn about Wisconsin's role as a Northern state before the Civil War and how the Goodrich family secretly operated its safe haven.

Restores Water Softener Efficiency
99% of water softening occurs inside of the resin beads. Salt only washes away the calcium but leaves the iron, manganese, silt, metal particles and organic compounds. Over time, these will coat the resin bead causing inefficiencies or total failure.
Pro Res Care is a specially formulated liquid resin cleaner designed to rid the softener of contaminants that salt alone cannot remove. Regular use of Res Care resin cleaner will restore the softener beads and control valve parts back to peak efficiency and maintain the life of the unit. For best results, use an Easy Feeder for continued defense of contaminant build-up.Pro Res Care is NSF Certified to meet NSF/ANSI Standard 60 for drinking water additives.
Manual Application
For severely fouled units, 4oz (1⁄2 cup) of Pro Res Care resin cleaner per cubic foot can be added directly into the brine well of the softener. For softeners with no brine well, pour directly into salt tank when the salt level is low. Manually regenerate the softener and repeat if taste, odor, or discoloration is detected in discharge. Then, run the cold soft water tap nearest the softener until the odor or taste is gone.

In this tutorial you will use a GUI utility that ships with Tomcat to configure Java options. This tutorial uses Tomcat6, but the techniques should be the same for newer releases.
Tomcat running as a Windows Service
Locate and copy the location of tomcat6w.exe (if using Tomcat7, this will be named tomcat7w)
- Open and navigate through directory windows as shown in the screen shot below.
- Right-click the directory path bar and click Copy address as text.
- The clipboard should contain a string such as C:\Program Files\jasperreports-server-4.5.1\apache-tomcat\bin.
Open a command line window with Administrator privileges
- From the Start menu, enter "command" in the Search programs and files box.
- From the list of files, right-click "Command Prompt" and choose Run as administrator.
Run the tomcat6w application
- In the command box, type "cd" (to change directories) then right-click to paste the path to the Tomcat bin directory. Press return.
- Now in the Tomcat bin directory, type "tomcat6w //ES//jasperreportsTomcat" and press return.
Click the Java tab. Edit the values in the Java Options box. The following settings allocate 2 GB memory to the start Java heap, 6 GB for the maximum heap size, 128 MB for the permgen space and 256 MB for the maximum permgen size.
The following settings allocate 2 GB memory to the start Java heap, 6 GB for the maximum heap size, 128 MB for the permgen space and 256 MB for the maximum permgen size.

The Mullaperiyar Dam is a masonry gravity dam on the Periyar River in the Indian state of Kerala [1][2][3] It is located 881 m (2,890 ft) above mean sea level, on the Cardamom Hills of the Western Ghats in Thekkady, Idukki District of Kerala, South India. It was constructed between 1887 and 1895 by the British Government to divert water eastwards to the Madras Presidency area (present-day Tamil Nadu). It has a height of 53.6 metres (176 ft) from the foundation, and a length of 365.7 metres (1,200 ft).[1] The Periyar National Park in Thekkady is located around the dam's reservoir. The dam is located in Kerala on the river Periyar,[1][4] but is controlled and operated under a period lease by neighboring Tamil Nadu state.[1] Although the Periyar river has a total catchment area of 5398 km2 with 114 km2 in Tamil Nadu,[5][6] the catchment area of the Mullaperiyar dam itself lies entirely in Kerala.[7][8][9] The control and safety of the dam and the validity and fairness of the lease agreement have been points of dispute between Kerala and Tamil Nadu states.[10] Supreme court judgment came in 27 February 2006, allowing Tamil Nadu to raise the level of the dam to 152 ft (46 m) after strengthening it. Responding to it, Mullaperiyar dam was declared an 'endangered' scheduled dam by the Kerala Government under the disputed Kerala Irrigation and Water Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2006.[11]
On 29 October 1886, a lease indenture for 999 years was made between the Maharaja of Travancore, Visakham Thirunal Rama Varma and the British Secretary of State for India for Periyar Irrigation Works. The lease agreement was signed by Dewan of Travancore V Ram Iyengar and State Secretary of Madras State J C Hannington. This lease was made after 24 years negotiation between the Maharaja and the British. The lease indenture granted full right, power and liberty to the Secretary of State for India to construct make and carry out on the leased land and to use exclusively when constructed, made and carried out, all such irrigation works and other works ancillary thereto to. The agreement gave 8000 acres of land for the reservoir and another 100 acres to construct the dam. The tax for each acre was [Image:Indian Rupee symbol.svg|baseline|alt=INR|link=|7px]] 5 per year. The lease provided the British the rights over "all the waters" of the Mullaperiyar and its catchment basin, for an annual rent of [Image:Indian Rupee symbol.svg|baseline|alt=INR|link=|7px]] 40,000.[12]
In 1947, after Indian Independence, After British India was partitioned in 1947 into India and Pakistan, Travancore and Cochin joined the Union of India and on 1 July 1949 were merged to form Travancore-Cochin. On 1 January 1950 (Republic Day), Travancore-Cochin was recognised as a state. The Madras Presidency was organised to form Madras State in 1947.
On 1 November 1956, the state of Kerala was formed by the States Reorganisation Act merging the Malabar district, Travancore-Cochin (excluding four southern taluks, which were merged with Tamil Nadu), and the taluk of Kasargod, South Kanara.[13] The Kerala state government announced that the earlier agreement which had been signed between British Raj and Travancore agreement was invalid and needed to be renewed.citation needed
After several failed attempts to renew the agreement in 1958, 1960, and 1969, the agreement was renewed in 1970 when C Achutha Menon was Kerala Chief Minister. According to the renewed agreement, the tax per acre was increased to [Image:Indian Rupee symbol.svg|baseline|alt=INR|link=|7px]] 30, and for the electricity generated in Lower Camp using Mullaperiyar water, the charge was [Image:Indian Rupee symbol.svg|baseline|alt=INR|link=|7px]] 12 per kiloWatt per hour. Tamil Nadu uses the water and the land, and the Tamil Nadu government has been paying to the Kerala government for the past 50 years [Image:Indian Rupee symbol.svg|baseline|alt=INR|link=|7px]] 2.5 lakhs as tax per year for the whole land and [Image:Indian Rupee symbol.svg|baseline|alt=INR|link=|7px]] 7.5 lakhs per year as surcharge for the total amount of electricity generated.[12][14] The validity of this agreement is under dispute between the States of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. As of 2013 the matter is pending before a Division Bench of the Supreme Court.[15][16][17][18] The dispute puts into question the power of the federal government of India to make valid orders respecting Indian States, in this case regarding a watershed and dam within one state that is used exclusively in another.[19]
Interstate disputeEdit
For Tamil Nadu, the Mullaperiyar dam and the diverted Periyar waters act as a lifeline for Theni, Madurai, Sivaganga and Ramnad districts, providing water for irrigation and drinking, and also for generation of power in Lower Periyar Power Station. Tamil Nadu has insisted on exercising its unfettered rights to control the dam and its waters, based on the 1886 lease agreement. Kerala has pointed out the unfairness in the 1886 lease agreement and has challenged its validity. However, safety concerns posed by the 116-year old dam to the safety of the people of Kerala in the event of a dam collapse, have been the focus of disputes from 2009 onwards. Kerala's proposal for decommissioning the dam and constructing a new one has been challenged by Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu has insisted on raising the water level in the dam to 142 feet, pointing out crop failures. One estimate states that "the crop losses to Tamil Nadu, because of the reduction in the height of the dam, between 1980 and 2005 is a whopping [Image:Indian Rupee symbol.svg|baseline|alt=INR|link=|7px]] 40,000 crores. In the process the farmers of the erstwhile rain shadow areas in Tamil Nadu who had started a thrice yearly cropping pattern had to go back to the bi-annual cropping."[20]
The Kerala Government maintains that this is not true. During the year 1979–80 the gross area cultivated in Periyar command area was 171,307 acres (690 km2). After the lowering of the level to 136 ft (41 m), the gross irrigated area increased and in 1994–95 it reached 229,718 acres (930 km2).[21] The Tamil Nadu government had increased its withdrawal from the reservoir, with additional facilities to cater to the increased demand from newly irrigated areas.citation needed
In 2006, the Supreme Court of India by its decision by a three member division bench, allowed for the storage level to be raised to 142 feet (43 m) pending completion of the proposed strengthening measures, provision of other additional vents and implementation of other suggestions.[22]
However, the Government of Kerala promulgated a new "Dam Safety Act" against increasing the storage level of the dam, which has been challenged by Tamil Nadu on various grounds. The Supreme Court issued notice to Kerala to respond, however did not stay the operation of the Act even as an interim measure. The Court then advised the States to settle the matter amicably, and adjourned hearing in order to enable them to do so. The Supreme Court of India termed the act as not unconstitutional.[23] Meanwhile, the Supreme Court constituted a Constitution bench to hear the case considering its wide ramifications.[24]
The Kerala Government states that it does not object to giving water to Tamil Nadu, their main cause of objection being the dam's safety as it is 116 years old. Increasing the level would add more pressure to be handled by already leaking dam.[25] Tamil Nadu wants the 2006 order of Supreme court be implemented so as to increase the water level to 142 feet (43 m).
In 2000 Frontline one author stated thus:
"For every argument raised by Tamil Nadu in support of its claims, there is counter-argument in Kerala that appears equally plausible. Yet, each time the controversy gets embroiled in extraneous issues, two things stand out: One is Kerala's refusal to acknowledge the genuine need of the farmers in the otherwise drought-prone regions of Tamil Nadu for the waters of the Mullaperiyar; the other is Tamil Nadu's refusal to see that it cannot rely on or continue to expect more and more from the resources of another State to satisfy its own requirements to the detriment of the other State. A solution perhaps lies in acknowledging the two truths, but neither government can afford the political repercussions of such a confession".[26]Tamil Nadu argues that the latter is similar to tax revenues unfairly distributed to underdeveloped states within India, to the detriment of the revenue producing states, i.e., a form of wealth distribution. What we see here is a microcosm of the bigger problem that India faces with China, which is building dams on Brahmaputra.

More than 15 000 refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo fled into neighbouring Uganda over the Easter weekend, army officials in Kampala said on Wednesday.
The exodus comes in addition to 10 000 people who have fled the eastern DR Congo to Uganda in recent months.
Tensions have been rising in the restive east, as fighting intensifies between the Congolese army and rebel soldiers. Among the latest influx to Uganda are nine rebel fighters who have been detained.
Bosco Ntaganda, a Congolese general wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crime charges, is reportedly leading defections from the DR Congo army, sparking battles in the Kivu region.
"Ntaganda's forces fought battles with the Congolese army and temporarily took over Bunagana (town). This caused panic among the population and they fled across the border," Robert Kamara, a Ugandan military spokesman, told dpa.Sapa-dpa

Candy holds a special place in our diets despite current health consciousness. I, for one, favor this sweet indulgence with full understanding that moderation is key.
Candy is so wonderful to have on hand to serve with after-dinner coffee or to provide that quick energy surge when nothing else can do the trick. And I have never seen anyone protest when a guest brings a gift of candy.

I am a fashion designer with my own label and lines, designing for luxury boutiques and catalogs. I am a workaholic and I travel extensively for my work. I am also a single mom and spend as much time as possible with my son who is my life. I love living in Topanga/Malibu in the mountains with the ocean so close by. There is a very creative energy at the house and all my new work is created there. I get inspired by the colors of nature and the incredible sunsets.
I hope that you get the peace, quiet and the healing from my special piece of the mountain.
Azmina Kanji purchased this house in 1986
This particular area of Topanga has always attracted me. Before I even bought the house, I used to come with my dog and sit on the elephant rock on the property. The property was never put on the market. I approached the owner who had it built for himself and after a few months, he decided to sell the property directly to me without going through any realtor. The property was bought as is.
The energy around the property, the views, the mountains and all the wild life is enough to sustain me forever.
First and foremost, we have to say Azmina is one of the best hosts we have ever had on a vacation rental. She was ALWAYS available for questions and provided us with wonderful welcome amenities. Azmina is a true gem!
The house is perfect for a relaxing vacation - it has everything you need to enjoy the beautiful nature of Topanga. There are nearby hiking trails and the pool was a definite favorite of our daughter. The outdoor space is heavenly with fabulous views.
All of the beds were comfortable with nice linens; we enjoyed watching movies in the inviting living room. Kitchen completely stocked for cooking meals.
The home is about 15 minutes up the canyon in Topanga; the benefit is that you are away from the LA noise and "busyness" which is wonderful after a day out and about. There is one Italian restaurant that delivers and was very good. This is not the home to choose if you wish to walk down the street for a cup of coffee. You really are about 7-8 minutes away from the little town of Topanga and 15 minutes from gas, grocery stores, etc. We don't see this as a negative; just feel important to disclose.
Thanks Azmina and Marshall for a great week!
We stayed for one week at the Saddle Peak Budda House in Topanga. We were there for a wedding and couldn't have picked a more beautiful location to stay. Saddle Peak Budda House has spectacular views from most rooms in the house. It was stocked very well for all our needs. The only reason I didn't give five stars is that it needs updates in the bathrooms. I highly recommend.
Everything worked out as promised. Our stay there was very enjoyable and the owner was very friendly and accommodating!
My wife and I stayed here for 9 nights, two of which we were joined by my parents, my sister and brother in law. The property is absolutely incredible and has tons of history. The view is breathtaking, and pictures don't even come close to doing it justice. The deck is HUGE with lush plants and tons of great patio furniture to relax and take in the view. There is a big, new gas grill on the deck, and there simply isn't a better place than the Saddle Peak Buddha house to grill up some steaks / fish with a glass of wine or beer at sunset. The interior of the house feels big given the high ceilings, and it has lots of relaxing decor with the Buddha theme running throughout the house. There are 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, which held the 6 of us very comfortably. There is a giant, flat screen, HD tv in the living room and fast wireless internet throughout the property. My AT&T cell phone had 4/5 bars of service everywhere on the property. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a great meal, and we loved the goodies (fruit, bread, chocolate, etc.) that Azmina left for us upon arrival. I had one quick question during my stay, and Azmina was available via text/ phone call to answer my question within a moment's notice (and of course the answer was clearly in the guest binder, which I admittedly should have read thru). Groceries are 15-20 minutes away, and endless miles of trails are within minutes of the house. We treasured the time that we got to spend here, and can't wait to return again in the future. Thanks for having us, Azmina!
Wow! Amazing views from this property and better than the photos show. Great to watch the weather and see the fog roll in or dissipate on the mountains. On the many clear days we had, you could even see the surf of the ocean from the deck. The property has some history to it and is located in an area with exclusive homes. I can honestly say that looking over the mountains, rock formations, and seeing the beauty of the area, it was the best medicine for relaxation. The pool also helped! We were a family of five with teenagers and were comfortably housed. Azmina was there to greet us on arrival and had stocked the fridge with essentials for breakfast and fruits locally sourced. A manager is available at a next-door property below. Had no issues and loved it so much we would love to return if we visit the area again.
We had a wonderful stay here. Azmina and her son were very welcoming and hospitable and made us a beautiful lunch when we arrived unexpectedly early! We spent many hours on the fabulous, spacious deck and pool area. Views are magnificent, setting is tranquil. We were very happy with our time at this property.
There is no public transit in Topanga/Malibu area so you will need a car. Of course, there is a choice of Uber or a local taxi service.
Hiking trails and endless views are all within walking distance of the property. Scenic bike rides and drives are unavoidable in our neighborhood.
Driving distances are as follows:
The Beach: 10 Minutes
Topanga City Center: 10 Minutes
Malibu: 15 Minutes
Woodland Hills/Calabasas/The Valley: 15 Minutes
Santa Monica/Venice Beach: 25 Minutes
Hollywood: 40 Minutes
Downtown Los Angeles: 45 Minutes
There are six parking spaces at the house and a lot of parking spaces up and down the street. The area is too secluded to worry about parking tickets!
Topanga is known as a bohemian enclave attracting artists, musicians, filmmakers, and others. Numerous music festivals have been organized in the canyon, including the Topanga Days Festival and Topanga Earth Day. The Topanga Film Institute hosts the annual Topanga Film Festival. This quiet family neighborhood is safe and sound with all you will need very close by. Only minutes to world renowned surfing in Malibu and shopping in Santa Monica. Fabulous hiking right out the door and miles and miles of trails in our very own 10,000 acre Topanga State Park within the Santa Monica Mountains, one of the largest open space preserves surrounded by a city in the world. Topanga is a charming community that feels like a mountain village with horse riding facilities, theater, yoga, eclectic boutiques, health conscious restaurants and local bars, artist studios, seasonal festivals, and docent-led nature walks all available right here in the canyon. Close by are surf lessons, kite and stand up paddle boarding, miles of beaches and bike paths, shopping, sightseeing, the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade, Venice Beach, Malibu and the Pacific Palisades. Universal Studios, the Hollywood Strip, downtown LA, and more great restaurants and LA destinations are all just a short drive away.

Inspired by the Inspiration: Carnival Inspiration Cruise Review by Bunniluv
Overall Member Rating
Inspired by the Inspiration
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
We arrived at the port of Tampa at 10:00 and Carnival started the check-in process at 10:15. It was a breeze; we were zone 2 and on the trip at 11:15 heading to the lido deck for lunch. Cabins are not available until 1:30. The Brasserie Grill buffet on the sail date was fish, roast beef, soup and salad bar, pizza and sandwiches. This was the typical buffet items with burgers, hot dogs and More Mongolian by pool side. There is a bar now in the back of the Brasserie Grill, This made it a lot easier to get a soda or beer instead of having to go by the pool area or wait until someone came by.
We had a ocean view cabin on main deck. We've had this type cabin before and it was the standard carnival room. Our cabin steward was Mr. Harry, who was quiet and had went about his busy. Our cabin was cleaned twice a day and he assisted us with any other request we had. Had plenty of space for clothes and personal items. One small thing was that the A/C didn't seem to work as good while in port, but at night, it worked like a charm.
We ate in the main dining room each night. Our servers were very nice and made of feel welcome, but really didn't go out of their way. Just serve and remain dishes. There were a couple of nights we waited about 45 mins for dinner. You could tell their were busy and we understood that. Good service overall. The main food items were delicious. We didn't have a bad meal the entire cruise.
Our grandson enjoyed camp carnival on this cruise. The smaller/older ships don't have the area that the larger ships have, and something you get so many kids in there it can get quite crowded. This was our first cruise (out of 9) that we were not issued a cell page in case of an emergency. It didn't concern us that much, because if they needed us, they could page us over the P.A system. Never had too. Camp Carnival offered a lot of activities and he stay busy the entire time. They do offer services after 10:00 p.m. for $6.00 an hour.
Our first port of call was Grand Cayman. We booked the stingray city tour. We have been on this type tour in the past, but my 5-old year grandson wanted to go touch and kiss the stingrays. He did and loved it. It was about a 30 min boat ride out to the reef, and while it was a bit crowded, we were able to spent about 45 mins with the stingrays. The boat offered water and fruit punch if needed. On the way back, we stop and the guide got a few conch shells and we all got to eat the conch inside. Not bad!
Our second port of call was Cozumel. We booked the dolphin push, pull and swim at Chankanaab National Park. Had a great time. Here's the link: http://www.dolphindiscovery.com/cozumel/cozumel-location-overview.asp
Entertainment - The entire staff from the cruise director to the dance team did a wonderful job entertaining everyone on the ship. They were also out and about and just did a great job with all the passengers. The adults only comedy show were hilarious and the show were flawless.
Debarkation was without any problems and the entire process was painless. We elected to debark using self-assistance instead of zone numbers. We left our cabin at 8:30 and was off the ship at 8:50. Our transportation was waiting there for us and we were at the airport by 9:15.
Overall, great short cruise for us and our grandson. This being our 9th cruise with carnival, we good the process down pretty good. If anyone would like more information about this cruise or the carnival inspiration, you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

With new Olympic guidelines, trans athletes can compete without surgery
"It is necessary to ensure insofar as possible that trans athletes are not excluded from the opportunity to participate in sporting competition," the guidelines say. "To require surgical anatomical changes as a pre-condition to participation is not necessary to preserve fair competition and may be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights."
Previously, the Olympics followed a set of 2003 guidelines that forbade transgender athletes from competing with other athletes of their gender unless they received sex reassignment surgery and two years of hormone therapy.
Under those rules, no trans athletes have ever competed as their actual gender, as opposed to the gender they were assigned at birth, although several, including Caitlyn Jenner and Balian Buschbaum, came out as transgender years later.
The new recommendations lay out a different set of rules for transgender men and women. People who transition from female to male can compete in the male sporting categories with "no restrictions."
But for people who transition from male to female, the guidelines are stricter. Trans female athletes must have a testosterone level below 10 nanomols per liter for at least one year before her first competition, and those levels "may" be subject to testing, the document says.
Buzzfeed noted that these guidelines seem to suggest that biological characteristics often associated with the male sex, such as elevated testosterone, are an advantage for athletes.
The new rules came after triathlete Chris Mosier became the first transgender athlete ever to join a U.S. national team matching their gender in June. Mosier will compete in the World Championships in Avila, Spain, this summer. Mosier tweeted his support for the new guidelines Monday.
Thank you! I'm excited for all current & future #transathletes out there! https://t.co/yH8gORYf0T
— The Chris Mosier (@TheChrisMosier) January 25, 2016
Others, including actress Laverne Cox, tweeted their congratulations to Mosier.
So proud of @TheChrisMosier for making the U.S Olympic team & helping to change policy for trans athletes to follow https://t.co/f8Vj5GxmWC

We have the same problem everyone else does: trying not to scratch the fender while leaning over the engine bay. We've got commercial fender protectors, of course, but they sit folded up in the garage and over time get impregnated with dirt and grit. Also, we tend to forget to pull them out when a "simple" job needs to be performed.
That's why we think there's a better way to go about protecting the fenders. The answer for us is binder clips (spring-type paper clips)! Yes, these little black spring clips are terrific for use in protecting your fenders - or anywhere else for that matter.
Instead of a fender protector we use an old blanket or bedspread. We fold it over and lay it on the fender, clipping it to the flange around the hood opening area using the binder clips. It's quick and easy and offers the advantage of being able to shake the dust and dirt out of the cloth, or even washing it when it's really dirty.
