DataGridView.CellToolTipTextNeeded Event
The .NET API Reference documentation has a new home. Visit the .NET API Browser on docs.microsoft.com to see the new experience.
Occurs when a cell's ToolTip text is needed.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
The CellToolTipTextNeeded event occurs only when the DataGridView control DataSource property is set or its VirtualMode property is true.
When you handle the CellToolTipTextNeeded event, the ToolTip text you specify in the handler is shown whenever the mouse pointer is over a cell and the control ShowCellToolTips property value is true. The CellToolTipTextNeeded event is useful when you want to display ToolTips determined by the current state or value of a cell.
The CellToolTipTextNeeded event also occurs whenever the value of the DataGridViewCell.ToolTipText property is retrieved, either programmatically or when the mouse pointer enters a cell.
You can use the DataGridViewCellEventArgs.ColumnIndex and RowIndex properties to determine the state or value of a cell, and use this information to change or modify the DataGridViewCellToolTipTextNeededEventArgs.ToolTipText property. This property is initialized with the value of the cell ToolTipText property, which the event value overrides.
Handle the CellToolTipTextNeeded event when working with large amounts of data to avoid the performance penalties of setting the cell ToolTipText value for multiple cells. For more information, see Best Practices for Scaling the Windows Forms DataGridView Control.
For more information about handling events, see NIB: Consuming Events.
The following code example demonstrates how to use a CellToolTipTextNeeded event handler to display information from hidden columns in a data-bound DataGridView control.

Risk management and compliance management are converging for many asset managers, given the many new directives and regulatory measures.
7. Operational risk management needs to determine how regulation is affecting the "adjacent domains," particularly outsourcing and delegation arrangements.
Managing operational risk used to be primarily about managing people, processes and systems. Given the drive toward greater degrees of complexity and expected performance, firms are encouraged to continuously check outsourcing and service level agreement (SLA) arrangements with all third parties, especially if the firm is actively managing money in emerging or frontier markets.
This is doubly important when relying upon third parties to value leveraged or non-transparent products such as interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, FX swaps/forwards, equity derivatives or inflation/climatic variables.
We reported more cases during 2011 of traditional and alternative asset managers revisiting responsibilities, liabilities and indemnifications for all arrangements, including "force majeure" clauses, as well as the price economics for all outsourcing arrangements.
UCITS firms in particular were evaluating whether there were benefits from participating within master/feeder or collective pooling arrangements, and they were checking SLAs with their custodians and transfer agents to establish who was offering what service.
This activity should include an audit of transfer agents, custodians, fund administrators and other ancillary functions.

To listen to Sharon Litwin's interview with Doug Meffert on WWNO radio, click here.
There's a brand new Louisiana outpost of one of the world's major environmental organizations, and New Orleans resident Doug Meffert is going to lead it.
"Audubon Louisiana is a firm commitment by the National Audubon Society to the state of Louisiana in terms of long-term conservation and coastal restoration," he says about an organization whose involvement in Louisiana dates back to 1924. That was when the National Audubon Society acquired the Paul J. Rainey Sanctuary in Vermilion Parish, a 26,000-acre rest stop for migrating birds and a natural habitat for deer, geese, otter and muskrat. And while there have long been numerous Audubon Society chapters across Louisiana, with more than 3,600 members, there has never been a statewide national office.
A self-proclaimed Air Force brat, Doug, who holds a doctorate in environmental science and engineering, remembers how he first became aware of environmental issues.
"We had just moved back to the Unites States," he says. "My parents bought a television; I had never even seen a television. But about that time, around 1970 or '72, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) had been formed and they had a sort of EPA program for tots on TV. Ever since then I have been an environmentalist."
That influence stayed with him through a college stint at Tulane University, where he obtained a bachelor of engineering degree and then an MBA, followed by a doctorate from UCLA.
Returning to New Orleans in 1994, Doug worked as an environmental engineer and litigation specialist, joining Tulane University first as a policy consultant and then as a member of a team working with the university's river coastal research project.
Now, after 15 years with Tulane, Doug has taken the reins of one of the newest major national initiatives of the Audubon Society. Working with already-in-place society chapters across this state, Audubon Louisiana will focus on large-scale coastal and gulf restoration as part of the Mississippi River Delta Restoration initiative. Additionally, working with an alliance of partners including the Environmental Defense Fund, National Wildlife Federation, Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana and the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, Audubon Louisiana will focus on the protection of our region's many globally significant bird areas.
Raising a higher level of awareness about the critical needs of coastal restoration is a major part of Doug's new job. And, while all alliance partners agree we're running out of time, all hope that it is not too late and that by working together, this critical issue, not just for Louisiana and the Gulf Coast, but for the entire country, can be addressed.
Sharon Litwin is president of NolaVie.

"Every few weeks for six years, Michael McDermott drove up to an hour to Dedham, Mass., to donate blood platelets. He went to the Red Cross there because it was the only one in the area with the equipment required for the involved procedure---which takes two hours, about twice as long as ordinary blood donation. McDermott gave voluntarily, receiving no payment in return. On the lower right of his car's rear bumper, he pasted a sticker: Give Blood."
What a sweet guy! I wish our society had more giving people like Mike!
The morning after Christmas, McDermott, 42, went to work with an AK-47 assault rifle, shotgun and semiautomatic pistol. He then shot to death seven of his colleagues.
Hey! What happened?
"The second of Richard and Rosemary Martinez's four children, McDermott exchanged his Hispanic surname for a slight variation on his middle one (McDermod) in 1980, four years after he joined the Navy. He served on the nuclear submarine U.S.S. Narwhal, an assignment that required rigorous psychological screening. However, says Bruce Joy, one of his crewmates, 'when somebody violated his personal space and got too close to him he responded by sneezing directly in the guy's face.' Even so, says Joy; 'in the bizarre world of the submarine community there was nothing that would suggest that he would do what he did.' McDermott worked as a nuclear-reactor operator at the Maine Yankee plant after leaving the Navy but abandoned the highly specialized job after six years of training, just when it should have begun paying dividends. It is unclear what he did for the next few years, but he eventually joined the Duracell company and married a childhood sweetheart, Monica Sheehan. McDermott summed up that experience in 1997 on a website for Narwhal veterans. 'Well, I came back to the land of my youth and married a childhood friend. Lasted three and a half years before she split.' His wife moved away to a Chicago suburb. In the meantime, the man who had met the strict weight limits to work on a sub ballooned to 350 pounds."
A relative that couldn't pronounce his name called him "Mucko" and it stuck.
"Only last August, a man named Michael McDermott who used the handle 'Mucko' was preaching peace in an Internet discussion about explosives. He reprimanded someone looking to by land mines: 'It would seem that some 'Christians' have forgotten the Sixth Commandment. It is hard to imagine Jesus resorting to land mines.' The commandment I Thou Shalt Not Kill."

Role of a Decreased Expression of the Local Renin-Angiotensin System in the Etiology of Cerebral Aneurysms
Background— Local renin-angiotensin systems (RAS) have been implicated as playing an important role in vascular remodeling. The relationship of this system to the etiology of cerebral aneurysm was investigated.
Methods and Results— The aneurysmal wall from patients with a ruptured or unruptured cerebral aneurysm and the cortical cerebral artery in control patients with head trauma or a glioma were taken during surgery for study. Local RAS were evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and/or immunohistochemistry. RT-PCR analysis revealed a significantly decreased expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor, basic fibroblast growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor-AA, and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1 mRNA in the aneurysmal wall as compared with the control cortical arterial wall. Immunohistochemistry also revealed a decreased expression of ACE, AT1 receptor, and angiotensin II in the aneurysmal wall.
Conclusion— Expression of local RAS was decreased in the aneurysmal wall, which may induce aneurysm formation caused by a lack of vascular remodeling that prevents the arterial wall from thickening under increased hemodynamic stress. This is the first report that suggests that a decreased expression of local RAS plays a part in the pathogenesis of any disease.
January 3, 2003; de novo received June 4, 2003; revision received June 30, 2003; accepted July 2, 2003.
Local renin-angiotensin systems (RAS) have been implicated in playing an important role in several cardiovascular diseases by affecting cardiovascular remodeling via smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration, proliferation, and hypertrophy. However, the downregulation of this system has not, up to now, been associated with the pathogenesis of any disease.
Currently, subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by a rupture of cerebral aneurysms has a high morbidity and mortality. The etiology of cerebral aneurysms has been attributed to a disrupted balance between local hemodynamic stress and arterial wall strength.1–3 Under increased hemodynamic stress, the local RAS is usually activated, and this induces vascular remodeling resulting in a thickened arterial wall. However, paradoxical findings are seen in cerebral aneurysms. A thinning of the arterial medial smooth muscle layer due to a decrease in the number of SMCs1,4,5 coexists with the increased hemodynamic stress. This could be due to an abnormal conversion rate in the local RAS. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the local RAS in cerebral aneurysmal walls and to evaluate their possible role in aneurysm formation.
Clinical Material
Thirty-three patients with ruptured or unruptured cerebral aneurysms who underwent direct microsurgical aneurysm repair were eligible for this study. During surgery, to confirm that the aneurysm was completely isolated from the circulation, the aneurysm dome was opened by dissecting the aneurysm wall, which was used for this study. Eighteen age-matched patients with head trauma or glioma served as controls. Their cerebral cortical arteries were taken for study during the surgery for cerebral lobectomy or removal of the glioma. Patients who had been prescribed an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist were excluded from this study. Essential hypertension was present in 7 of 18 patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms, 5 of 15 patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms, and 6 of 18 control patients. Informed consent was obtained from each patient or the patient's family, and the protocol was approved by the Institutional Human Ethics Committee.
mRNA Measurement for ACE, AT1 Receptor, Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), Platelet-Derived Growth Factor-AA (PDGF-AA), and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1)
The dissected aneurysmal wall and the cortical cerebral artery were lysed and homogenized. Extracted total RNA was used for the reverse transcription (RT) reaction. The 576-μL reaction mixture containing 6 μL of the first-strand cDNA library and 15 units of Taq DNA polymerase were constructed and divided into 96-μL aliquots. Two microliters 25 μmol/L each of sense and antisense primer for ACE,6 AT1 receptor,7 bFGF,8 PDGF-AA,8 TIMP-1,9 and GAPDH10 mRNA were added to 1 of the 96-μL reaction mixtures, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed for 30 cycles under conditions in accordance with previous studies.6–10 RT-PCR reaction mixture (20 μL) was size-fractioned by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis, using a DNA marker. The amplified bands were detected by ethidium bromide staining, and the images were transferred to a computer system by a charge-coupled device imaging system. The intensity of the ethidium bromide fluorescence of each band was measured by the NIH Image analysis system.
Immunohistochemistry for ACE, AT1 Receptor, and Angiotensin II
The specimens were sectioned into 4-μm slices and fixed in acetone. Sections were treated with 0.3% H2O2 solution for 30 minutes and were then incubated overnight at 4°C with the specific primary antibodies. The primary antibodies used in this study were rabbit polyclonal antibody against human angiotensin II (1:1000, IgG Corp, Nashville, Tenn), mouse monoclonal antibody against human ACE (1:1000, Chemicon International, Temecula, Calif), and rabbit polyclonal antibody against human AT1 receptor (1:1000, Santa Cruz, Calif). Additionally, to identify SMCs and endothelial cells, mouse monoclonal antibody against human α-smooth muscle actin (1:50, Dako Laboratories, Carpinteria, Calf) or rabbit polyclonal antibody against human von Willebrand factor (1:200, Dako Laboratories) was used as a primary antibody. The labeled streptavidin biotin method (Dako Laboratories) was used. The sections were counterstained with hematoxylin.
Serum Renin Activity and Serum Angiotensin II, and Other Lipid Profiles
Serum renin activity and serum angiotensin II were measured by radioimmunoassay using blood taken on admission. Serum HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride were also examined on admission.
Serum Concentration of Renin and Angiotensin II and Lipid Profile
The serum renin activity and the serum angiotensin II value showed no statistically significant differences among the patients with unruptured cerebral aneurysms, those with ruptured aneurysms, and the control patients. There were no statistically significant differences in HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride among the 3 groups.
mRNA Measurement for ACE, AT1 Receptor, bFGF, PDGF-AA, and TIMP-1
The ratios of ACE, AT1 receptor, bFGF, PDGF-AA, and TIMP-1 mRNA to GAPDH mRNA in the unruptured and ruptured aneurysmal wall were statistically significantly lower as compared with the same ratio in the control cortical arterial wall (Table). The ratio of ACE mRNA to GAPDH mRNA in the ruptured aneurysmal wall was statistically significantly lower as compared with the same ratio in the ruptured aneurysmal wall.
Immunohistochemistry for ACE, AT1, and Angiotensin II)
In the control cortical cerebral arteries, von Willebrand factor immunostaining for endothelial cells and SMC α-actin immunostaining for medial SMCs were well demarcated (Figure, A and B). In the unruptured aneurysmal wall, immunostaining was decreased (I and J). In the ruptured aneurysmal wall, von Willebrand factor immunostaining was diminished (Q) and SMC α-actin immunostaining was markedly decreased (R). The control arterial wall revealed a distinct expression of ACE in endothelial cells that corresponded to the von Willebrand factor staining (C and D). Its immunostaining was stronger in the cases without hypertension (C) than in the cases with hypertension (D). ACE expression decreased in the unruptured aneurysmal wall (K) and diminished in the ruptured aneurysmal wall (P). Its expression showed no differences between the cases without hypertension and the cases with hypertension in the aneurysmal wall (data not shown). AT1 receptor and angiotensin II expressions were diffusely seen in the control cortical cerebral arteries (E through H), and their expressions were more marked in the cases without hypertension (E and G) than in the cases with hypertension (F and H). AT1 receptor and angiotensin II expression were decreased in the unruptured aneurysmal wall (L and M) and markedly decreased in the ruptured aneurysmal wall (Q and R) as compared with the control cortical arteries. Their expressions showed no differences between the cases without hypertension and the cases with hypertension in the aneurysmal wall (data not shown).
The histological findings of cerebral aneurysms have been characterized as having a decreased number or degeneration of endothelial cells, degeneration of the internal elastic lamina, and thinning of the medial layer. The internal elastic lamina and vascular extracellular matrix are considered to be the main contributors to the structural integrity of vessel walls, and there have been several reports indicating that a decrease of the extracellular matrix is related to the etiology of cerebral aneurysms. Increased circulating levels of serum gelatinase or elastase in patients with cerebral aneurysms11 and increased matrix metalloproteinase in the aneurysmal walls3 have been found. As well, a genetic locus for cerebral aneurysms has been found to lie within or close to the elastin gene locus on chromosome 7.12
Another characteristic finding of aneurysmal walls is thinning of the medial layer consisting of a decrease in the number of SMCs.1,4 Recently, in both experimental4 and clinical5 studies, apoptosis of SMCs has been found to be a causative factor for the decreased SMC number. The results of this study also confirm a decrease of SMCs, which was the main causative factor for a decreased expression of local RAS.
The etiology of aortic aneurysms has been associated with atherosclerosis induced by an upregulated RAS.13 However, there have been no reports supporting this association of atherosclerosis with the etiology of cerebral aneurysm. Nevertheless, there are some situations in which cerebral aneurysms could be associated with an upregulation of local RAS. Animal experimental studies have suggested that an initiating episode in cerebral aneurysm formation is degeneration and reduction in number of the endothelial cells,14 which is thought to be caused by maximum wall shear stress.15 The development of endothelial cell degeneration usually causes a proliferative response of the SMCs induced by upregulated local RAS. Furthermore, augmented hemodynamic stress, which has been implicated as an important causative factor for aneurysm formation, is thought to contribute to the upregulation of the local RAS. However, this study suggests that expression of local RAS is not increased. In situations in which local RAS should be upregulated as described above, if the expression of RAS expression is decreased, because of a decreased number of endothelial cells and SMCs, this decrease of RAS expression can further accelerate the reduction in the number of SMCs and the thinning of the medial layer. As well, angiotensin II is known to increase the level of bFGF, PDGF-AA, and TIMP-1.16 This study also revealed decreased expression of these mRNAs, which seems to result in inhibiting an increased response of extracellular matrix and SMC proliferation and hypertrophy. The mechanism of decreased expression of local RAS should be examined in future studies.

When a former U.S. president comes to visit, there's more to it than rolling out the welcome mat — and there will be two presidents here this week.
"There's definitely a lot of preparation work on the front end," Palo Duro Canyon State Park Superintendent Cory Evans said.
Bill Clinton will speak at 8 p.m. today at West Texas A&M University's First United Bank Center. Then George W. Bush will bike the trails of the state park Thursday through Saturday with 20 "wounded warriors" picked for their bravery and sacrifices in military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"The Secret Service advance teams have been coming in looking at the routes," Evans said. "It's gone really smoothly. Folks with security have come out and ridden the trails and become familiar with our procedures. Everything meshed pretty well. It was good interagency cooperation."
The bikers will cover just more than 62 miles on trails touched up by local volunteers during the second annual Bush Center Warrior 100K Ride, part of the George W. Bush Presidential Center's Military Service Initiative.
"Each day they'll ride different routes," Evans said. "Throughout the event they'll be on every trail. We'll mix it up."
The park will remain open, but when a trail is in use for the ride it will be closed for a few hours.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department personnel will assist with security.
"There will be a cooperative effort with game wardens, our law enforcement division. They'll be taking care of aspects from parking to trail closures," Evans said. "We'll probably have 10 to 20 peace officers in the park."
But there is a question as to how many others will be providing security.
"The Texas Department of Public Safety does receive official requests for assistance from law enforcement agencies, but we do not discuss security-sensitive operations," department spokesman Tom Vinger said in an email. "You would need to contact the Secret Service or those handling traveling arrangements for any additional info."
A spokesman for the Secret Service office in Lubbock did not reply to a request for comment.
Clinton will be in town only for a few hours for his visit. The free speech will benefit the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pa., which is dedicated to the 40 victims of the air crash there Sept. 11, 2001, through a donation from WT.
His security is as closely guarded as Bush's.
"I've been instructed that everything has to come through the Secret Service office in Lubbock," Canyon Police Chief Dale Davis said. "But I can assure you measures have been put in place to make his visit as enjoyable and safe as possible."
The Secret Service provides protection for former as well as active presidents. While Clinton has protection for life, legislation enacted in 1997 limited the protection, so Bush will have access to it until 2019, 10 years after his term ended.
The agency's website said its activities go beyond providing the men in dark suits, sunglasses and ear pieces.
"As part of the Secret Service's mission of preventing an incident before it occurs, the agency relies on meticulous advance work and threat assessments developed by its Intelligence Division to identify potential risks to protectees," according to the site. "No longer can law enforcement rely solely on human resources and physical barriers in designing a security plan; agencies also must address the role and inherent vulnerabilities of critical infrastructures upon which security plans are built."
The assessments include coordinating with local law enforcement and looking at the need for manpower and equipment and the location of hospitals and evacuation routes, according to the site.
The iconic agency lately has been rocked by scandal after allegations surfaced a dozen employees — either counterassault team agents or uniformed officers — hired prostitutes, visited strip clubs and boozed heavily during President Barack Obama's trip to Colombia for the Summit of the Americas. A half-dozen Secret Service employees have resigned.
The Secret Service has been protecting presidents since Grover Cleveland was in office in 1894. Its 2012 budget is $1 billion, according to an April Congressional Research Service report.

text: I'm posting this step-by-step guide to help all those who, like me, have problems with receiving/installing the much awaited 2.1 update for their T-Mobile Hero (G2 Touch). It took me a while after figuring everything out by myself since both T-Mobile and HTC support have been absolutely inept at providing a solution. You may have tried moving the phone's date forward a couple of weeks as suggested by T-Mobile and you'll probably get the pop-up notification window, but when you try and install the update the screen goes black with a warning triangle and it freezes. 1- First of all BACK UP all your data! This is because updating the phone will erase all data on your phone and reset it to it's factory state. I use My Back Up Pro, it's very easy to use and you'll be able to restore everything, from your pictures, music files, apps, etc to your messages, contacts and so on. It will even restore all your shortcuts and replace them exactly where you've placed them on your home screen(s). If you have a lot of files I suggest you back them up online as your SD card may not have enough space. 2- Download and install the latest ROM from the HTC website, you can do so here: http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=775. This is where some of the confusion arises. You may think that you have the latest ROM on your phone (you can check by going to Settings-About phone-Software-Build number. It should be 18.104.22.168. However if you've downloaded it from the T-Mobile support website it is NOT the same as the one on the HTC website DESPITE having the same number, and it's this that's preventing your phone from receiving the notification for the new 2.1 update and installing it. Confusing eh? So, download the ROM update and install it on your phone following the simple instructions. 3- Once your phone has installed the ROM it will restart. Finally, the notification pop-up will appear! Tap 'Install'. The phone will start installing the update without any glitches. You may also get a second pop-up notifying of a second update. Proceed as before. I suggest you do all this over Wi-Fi as it's a huge file. 4- Again, once the installation is complete your phone will restart and you'll be able to enjoy the new features. It's like having a new phone, better interface, better graphics, better performance! 5- Finally re-download My Back Up Pro from the Market and restore all your stuff. Again, this is best done using Wi-Fi. Notice: When restoring data, if your Contacts and Calendar are synched with your GMail account, UNCHECK these from the list that shows up. I really hope this goes some way to help all those people who like me have been frustrated with being able to install the update and by the total lack of support from T-Mobile and HTC. Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any, and good luck!

I am so glad to have finally decided to buy from the Pret à voir website! My new and shiny Miu Miu glasses are just perfect and all my friend can't believe that they were such a bargain ! The only thing that could be improve on the site will be a virtual try on as for this pair I bought them without trying them on and was a bit scared of the results...But they arrived on time with a really nice package and they fit me perfectly! So you can buy " les yeux fermés" as we say in France ! I will buy again from this website, I am already thinking...new sunglasses.

Davy Crockett on the removal of the Cherokees, 1834
View this item in the Collection.
In this letter, written in December 1834, Davy Crockett complains about President Andrew Jackson's forced removal of the Cherokees from their homes to Oklahoma. Crockett opposed that policy and feared Vice President Martin Van Buren would continue it, if elected president. He even goes so far as to say that if Van Buren is elected, Crockett would leave the United States for the "wildes of Texas." Crockett writes, "I will consider that government a Paridice to what this will be. In fact at this time our Republican Government has dwindled almost into insignificancy our [boasted] land of liberty have almost Bowed to the yoke of of [sic] Bondage." Crockett actually went to Texas before Martin Van Buren was elected president, and he died in the Battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836, months before the election.
A full transcript is available.
I have almost given up the Ship as lost. I have gone So far as to declare that if he martin vanburen is elected that I will leave the united States for I never will live under his kingdom. before I will Submit to his Government I will go to the wildes of Texas. I will consider that government a Paridice to what this will be. In fact at this time our Republican Government has dwindled almost into insignificancy our [boasted] land of liberty have almost Bowed to the yoke of Bondage. Our happy days of Republican principles are near at an end when a few is to transfer the many.

Walkabout: The Great Defalcation, Part 1
Read Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 of this story.
On a warm summer day in July, 1873, Ethelbert S. Mills, the president of the Brooklyn Trust Company, took a couple of days off to go to the beach at Coney Island. The rest of his family was summering in the country, but Mills had banks to run, extensive real estate holdings to manage, and was president of the Brooklyn Arts Association and a member of the Academy of Music Company.
He stayed in Brooklyn that summer, but even a busy mogul needs some time off. He took the train to Coney Island and checked into the Oceanic Hotel, enjoyed a pleasant dinner at surfside, and retired for the evening.
The next morning, on July 15, bright and early at 5 am, he left the hotel to take a swim in the ocean. Mills walked on the beach, picked his spot, took off his clothes, folded them into a nice tidy pile, and ran into the ocean to greet the dawn.
The 55-year-old Mills was in good shape, and was an expert swimmer. He took brisk strokes, his arms cutting deeply into the approaching surf, and was soon far away from shore. The sun was rising, and it was a beautiful day. Ethelbert S. Mills was never seen alive again.
At 7 am, his absence was noted, but there was no alarm. His clothes were found on the beach soon afterward. The groundskeepers and attendants of the nearby bathhouse were getting ready for a new day of work when they found his clothes.
Just then, one of them waded into the surf to dip a pail into the water and found the body of Ethelbert Mills floating face down in the shallow water. He was about 200 feet from where he had gone in. The body was taken up to the hotel, where an inquest was quickly held by Justice S. J. Voorhies, the acting coroner.
It was known that there was a fierce undertow out where Mills was swimming, and the verdict was that he had been pulled under and drowned, no doubt exhausted from trying to break free of the current. His death was ruled accidental.
Mills' wife, who was the sister of Abiel A. Low, one of Brooklyn's most powerful and influential citizens, was notified, and she and their children left their country estate in Nantucket to take care of the grim and unexpected duty of burying a husband and father.
As more details emerged the next day, it was surmised that Mills had been overheated at the time of his death. He had been wearing an overcoat in the morning when he left the hotel, as it was chilly, and walked briskly to the beach, raising his body temperature.
Those who opined on the subject thought that he had tossed off his coat and clothing, and was not sufficiently acclimated to the much colder temperature of the water, and the shock of plunging his overheated body into the cold water had caused him to drown. There was no autopsy, as the accidental nature of his tragic death was evident to all.
The Brooklyn Trust Company had an emergency board meeting, and Mr. Daniel Chauncey, the president of the Mechanics Bank, was chosen as the head of the Brooklyn Trust, pro tem. They would meet after the funeral to decide what to do next.
The important folk of Brooklyn gathered at the Mills house at 150 Montague Street to bid a fellow elite a fond farewell. He was laid out in a handsome open rosewood casket, clad in a fine suit, with his hand on the Scriptures. He looked to be at peace.
After the private service, the casket was moved to the nearby Second Unitarian Church, where more people would be able to say goodbye, and where he was eulogized by his colleagues in the financial world, and the arts and charities.
Mills was hailed as a great businessman, a fine father and a true son of Brooklyn, a man who ran several businesses, belonged to the right clubs and gave generously to the right charities, including his church. He would indeed be missed.
But there were already rumors floating around that Ethelbert Mills did not die accidentally, that he had committed suicide. They also suggested that the Board of Directors of the Brooklyn Trust Company was going to have a shock coming its way.
"Everything," said Daniel Chauncey, "is in the most perfect order." The Brooklyn Eagle noted that "the [Brooklyn Trust] Company is well known, and managed by some of Brooklyn's most solid and best known citizens."
"Mr. Mills's wealth and a cruel rumor of suicide started yesterday," the Eagle continued. "What possible reason for such a story can exist it is hard to imagine, as not an iota of evidence can be gathered tending to show any such intention on Mr. Mills's part, or cause for any such intention.
There is no doubt at all that Mr. Mills came to his death accidentally, and in the manner stated." Ah, but the paper would soon regret those words. Only two days later, the earthy effluvia was about to meet the revolving blades, to clean up an apropro metaphor.
Two days later, the Brooklyn Eagle ran a long story called "The Mills Defalcation – the Tragedy Succeeding the Tragedy." It was a tale of two Ethelbert Mills. One was a leading Brooklyn citizen who had been honestly mourned and roundly hailed for his many accomplishments.
"They had been prepared to embalm him in memory with the fragrance of the good he did, which lives after him," the paper wrote. The other Ethelbert Mills was not so admirable. "Suffice it to say that the untimely ending of his career has revealed a fatal fault in a single quarter, fatal so far as the rounded completeness of his life is concerned."
The paper continued, "the late President of the Brooklyn Trust Company is posthumously discovered to have let out its monies on enterprises whose accepted securities may be regarded as virtually worthless, and to have employed others of the monies committed to its custody, in the attempt to maintain private speculations of his own, on a vast scale, speculations declared to be greatly in excess of the sums to which he was entitled on private accounts – an excess which came out of the funds of the institution he was set and believed honorably to guard and protect."
In plain English, he used the bank's money to make bad loans and to (badly) play the market for himself.
According to the dictionary, "A defalcation is an amount of funds misappropriated by a person trusted with its charge; also, the act of misappropriation, or an instance thereof. The term is more specifically used by the United States Bankruptcy Code to describe a category of bad acts that taint a particular debt such that it cannot be discharged in bankruptcy.
Defalcation occurs when a debtor commits a bad act while acting in a fiduciary capacity. The classic example of defalcation is when a trustee recklessly invests trust funds and loses the money." As the days went by, it was becoming clear that this was a defalcation of the first order.
Mills had granted a loan to the Georgia Railroad for $150,000. The loan was to be secured by bonds, but the bonds had been tainted by other malfeasance from other individuals and were considered worthless.
The news of the bonds' insolvency was common knowledge in the financial community, and the surrounding scandal had been all over the national and local papers. You gotta love the Eagle, they did have a way with words: "The bonds were conceived in sin, and brought forth in iniquity, and they wore their rottenness from their issue to their outlawry." In other words, Mills had not been paying attention. And he was running a bank?
On top of that he made a couple of other dubious loans to other railroad projects, but those at least were guaranteed by secure bonds. The big unforgivable sin was that he had made loans to himself for a total of around $200,000, a sum that would be around $38 million today. He had invested it, over time, in real estate speculations and land.
Those in the know thought he may have made the money back in time to return it before it was missed, but then again, maybe not. It was all moot. As the Eagle opined, "It will be seen that Mr. Mills' sins were on the side of his qualities.
No moral vices, no vulgar tastes or pursuits absorbed his embezzlements. He swamped them on houses which, in design, were a credit to Brooklyn, and in location an incentive to and prophecy of her development. He doubtless indulged the elusive home that in time he would make all things even."
But Ethelbert Mills was now dead, and beyond the punishment of mortal man. However, he didn't do this alone. He had help within the bank. The powerful Secretary of the Brooklyn Trust was in on the scams, and worse yet, had made a few "investments" to help himself out too.
And then he went too far. It turns out that the Secretary was one Mr. M.T. Rodman, and he was not only a trusted official of the Brooklyn Trust, he was also the Treasurer of the City of Brooklyn. And his dipping into the till was not confined to the bank. He was robbing the City coffers, as well. The public's money. Oops.
The plot thickens, next time.

How to Evacuate Israelis from the West Bank
The Atlantic mentioned Brent Sasley, assistant professor of political science at UT Arlington, in an article that looked at how to evacuate 100,000 Israelis from the West Bank. The story referenced the Oxford Research Group's report, which lays out options for various compensation schemes, as well as mechanisms for the international community to make constructive contributions on this front. The Atlantic stated: "The [Oxford] report also suggests how to change the narrative so that the returning settlers can be seen as the 'new pioneers,' reclaiming much of the nationalist zeal that brought them to the West Bank in the first place – an idea that is also fleshed out in a thoughtful article in International Journal by Brent Sasley and Mira Sucharov."
Dallas International Film Festival screens "Wolf"
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram interviewed Ya'Ke Smith, filmmaker and assistant professor of film at UT Arlington, about his academic career and his first-feature length movie, "Wolf," which will screen Saturday and Wednesday at the Dallas International Film Festival. It is a sad and timely drama about an African-American teen who is being molested by his pastor. "If you follow my work, none of it is nice," Smith said. "I think film should be a mirror to show us: 'This is the world we live in. Let's look at it and let's correct it.'"

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments has announced the opening of its new Shimadzu Center for Advanced Analytical Chemistry at The University of Texas at Arlington, Zenopa.com reported.

Malden High golfers head to tournament
Courtesy of Matteo Pocobene
The following was submitted by Malden High publicity director Paul Famiglietti:
The Malden High School golf team faced Cambridge Rindge & Latin last Tuesday at Unicorn Golf course in Stoneham and defeated Cambridge for the first time in over a decade, 48.5-23.5.
Malden finished with a 4-4-1 record and qualified for the Division 1 North State Tournament Sectional Qualifier to be held Oct. 24 at the Beverly Golf and Tennis Club.
During the prior week, perhaps Malden's best in 20 years, the Tornadoes won the team championship at the GBL Tournament at Indian Ridge Country Club in Andover. Senior Matteo Pocobene became the GBL individual champion. The Malden team included freshmen Tristar To and Piero Pocobene. In addition, Malden defeated rivals Somerville and Everett by convincing margins in team play.
"This team is the grittiest team that I have ever coached," stated Coach Rick Malatesta. "They have overcome a lot of adversity and disappointment this year. This is not, from top to bottom, the most talented team that I have had ... that would be last year's team ... but it is the most determined.
"We have a captain-leader in Matteo Pocobene, who is our best golfer. Assistant Captain Dan Glynn is a stabilizing force on the team. We have two freshmen, Tristar To and Piero Pocobene, who will be stars in this league. We have a tough-minded contingent of sophomores (Nick Ward and Philip Glynn) and a junior (Chris Acres) and we have a golfer on the team who had never played golf until this year (John Hastings) and is still winning matches. I am proud and honored to be their coach."
Malden finished the season 4-3-1 in GBL matches, 4-4-1 overall.
The members of the Malden High School golf team are Matteo and Piero Pocobene, Tristar To, Daniel and Philip Glynn, Nick Ward, John Hastings, Chris Acres, TJ Ruddock, Derek Mauriello, John Cagno, and Devin Fitzpatrick.

Lucas Martins flattens Alex White, wins fight in third different UFC weight class
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — It looks like Lucas Martins has finally found his correct weight class.
Finishing up a back-and-forth brawl, Martins crushed previously undefeated Alex White with a straight right hand to win his featherweight debut by knockout at 2:08 of the third round Wednesday at UFC Fight Night here at Revel. Martins pounced in for some ground and pound after putting White on jelly legs, but really it was academic after the huge punch landed.
Martins (15-1) is just the fourth person in UFC history to earn wins in three separate weight classes, joining Kenny Florian, Diego Sanchez and George Roop. The Brazilian has also won three fights in a row and, at 25, looks like a pretty solid prospect.
His Muay Thai was sharp against White, who ate a ton of punches in the first round. Martins dominated the first five minutes with his stand-up. Normally, fighting a southpaw is awkward for a right-handed fighter, but Martins actually made White, a lefty, look uncomfortable.
White (10-1) never really got into a flow on his feet. But he did land a hard combination in the second round that momentarily floored Martins. That was by far his best moment of the fight and enough to win the second.
The third was more of the same for Martins. He beat White to the punch and kept him off balance before landing that massive right that drew oohs and ahhs from the New Jersey crowd. Martins might not be ready for a contender at 145 yet, but he's close.
White, 25, remains a prospect — you can't take away that first-round knockout against veteran Estevan Payan in his UFC debut in April.

Chemtura Corporation has filed a lawsuit to overturn the amended regulatory rules that govern upholstered furniture flammability. The newly adopted rules replace the prior fire safety standard in California, which served as the benchmark for furniture makers and retailers nationwide for almost four decades.
According to the revised rule, the furniture makers are required to pass a cigarette 'smolder test'. The rule eliminates important criteria that all filling material used in upholstered furniture should pass an 'open-flame' test to replicate a candle, match or lighter flame. As per Chemtura, the revised fire safety standard is weak and if not challenged would lead to more fires and injuries, deaths and property damage nationwide.
Chemtura further stated that the revised rules, effective Jan 1, 2014, ignored a key requirement in the fire safety standard that led the company to file a lawsuit for obtaining judicial review of the revised rules from the authority of the California Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation (the Bureau).
According to Chemtura, the Bureau ignored a very important fire safety standard that led the company to file for a lawsuit so that the Bureau adheres to its statutory obligations in the rulemaking process. The company is seeking judgment that will rule out the revised standard that does not provide protection from open-flame ignition sources, as mandated by law.
Though national statistics indicate that both smoldering cigarettes and open flames are significant sources of ignition, the significant drop in smoking and Fire-Safe Cigarette laws has led to lesser fire threat from smoldering cigarettes. This brings in the importance of maintaining open-flame protection in a new or revised standard.
Even the fire safety-minded National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has raised concerns over the new standard and opposes the elimination of open-flame protection from the standard rules.
Chemtura, which currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), will release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2013 results on Feb 24.
Other stocks in the specialty chemicals industry worth considering are Globe Specialty Metals, Inc. (GSM - Free Report) , Sensient Technologies Corporation (SXT - Free Report) and HB Fuller Co. (FUL - Free Report) . All these stocks retain a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

The sweet addiction crushing our time
By Ed Power
As sweet and insubstantial as a mouthful of jelly beans, Candy Crush has been described as the most addictive video game of all time. It is certainly on course to become the most popular, with some 45 million said to play this simple puzzle-based title (mostly on their phones and tablets) every month.
Central to Candy Crush's appeal are its bright visuals and simple mechanics: players swap adjacent sweets to line up three or more of the same colour in order to clear the board.
It sounds almost childishly straightforward but, make no mistake, once you start playing you may have a hard time stopping: the effect of Candy Crush on the human brain has been likened to the thrill a gambler receives when they have a flutter.
Released as a Facebook game in April 2012, Candy Crush has made millions for its creators King. That's thanks to an ingenious business model, which allows players 'level up' by paying extra. This is thought to earn the company in the region of $670,000 every day. Unusually for a video game, Candy Crush's biggest audience is women aged 25 to 55, with some fans said to have impulsively blown thousands feeding their addiction.
In addition to proving that sometimes the simplest ideas are often best, Candy Crush has reignited the debate about video games and compulsive behaviour. To describe a game as 'addictive' is to pay it the highest possible compliment – but some have questioned whether games have become too good at gobbling up our time.
In a warning that will chill many parents, a British psychotherapist has stated that gaming addiction can be more difficult to treat than a dependency on hard drugs.
In extreme cases, child addicts can become violent if they are forcibly separated from their games, according to Stephen Noel-Hill.
"Kids have attacked their families when they've taken games away from them. In some cases they've threatened their parents with knives. People will wake up one day and realise they have no qualifications and no social skills to form relationships. It's a time-bomb."
It isn't just children at risk. The average video gamer is a 35-year-old male, a study in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine has found.
The research indicated that video-game addiction leads to lower levels of sociability and impaired assertiveness as gamers withdraw from the real world.
Something to keep in mind the next time you fire up your console for a Call of Duty all-nighter.

Okay, its not a tale of that vaunted vast right-wing conspiracy, but suddenly the case against Diebolds electronic-voting machines is gaining momentum. Last week, an advisory panel for the California secretary of state recommended ditching the machines for the November presidential elections.
That event was widely reported, including in the Los Angeles Times.
What wasnt reported locally is Exhibit A, internal documents from lawyers for Texas-based Diebold Election Systems, Inc. In these documents, the attorneys concede that the company used uncertified voting machines during elections before January 28, 2004. The memos also state that such actions would violate both California election law and, by extension, Diebolds $12.7 million contract with Alameda County. The memos dont specify a particular election that was mishandled.
These Diebold memos (see links below)were unearthed by the Oakland Tribune and became the basis for a Tuesday story by reporter Ian Hoffman. The source of the memos, the law firm Jones Day, went to court last week demanding a return of the documents. Jones Day also sought to prevent the newspaper from publishing additional articles based on the documents, raising the same First Amendment issues addressed most famously in the Pentagon Papers case. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered the newspaper to return some of them, but the matter is in limbo pending ongoing court motions.
Diebold has conceded that it violated California regulations by using uncertified software in the March 2 election. This misstep occurred even though the Diebold internal memos had previously warned the company precisely of this problem. These memos also talk of greater legal culpability if the company knowingly violated California election law. The documents offer a potentially damning indictment of a company that failed to fly right despite in-house warnings.
A conciliatory Diebold spokesman said his company will cooperate fully with state and local election officials. We have acknowledged that changes to the software were made, said David Bear. Updates had been made to meet state and local needs. We were remiss about making notifications to the state of the changes. But no one has called into question the results of the election.
Bears depiction understates the situation as described by a former Diebold technician who spoke to the Oakland Tribune. The technician depicted a company that was running behind schedule, making untested, last-minute fixes and conjuring solutions on the spot.
At the same time, the internal memos reveal that Jones Day lawyers were exploring strategies to fend off legal challenges. In one memo, they propose a billing schedule for two months work ranging from $535,000 to $925,000. Legal machinations were eventually cited as a strike against Diebold. The company raised frivolous legal objections to providing many [requested] documents and provided other documents in an untimely manner, according to a Secretary of States Office report on Diebold.
The issues with Diebolds TSx voting machine went well beyond cooperation over paperwork. The state report said Diebold marketed and sold the TSx system before it was fully functional, and before it was federally qualified, misrepresented the status of the TSx system in federal testing in order to obtain state certification and failed to obtain federal qualification of the TSx system despite assurances that it would. In addition, the company allegedly installed uncertified software on election machines in 17 counties and jeopardized the conduct of the March primary.
The secretary of states advisory panel noted that some voters were turned away when poll workers could not get machines started on time in San Diego and Alameda counties.
The Oakland Tribunes article on the internal memos, published last week, earned an especially pointed reaction from Diebolds camp. Jones Day, which has been representing Diebold, went to court in Los Angeles the same day demanding the memos surrender. The defendants have wrongfully obtained the protected documents with knowledge that they were private and confidential, said the Jones Day court filing. Defendants have unlawfully disclosed and threatened to further disclose part or all of the protected documents, and refused to return them.
The firms attorneys also asked a judge to prohibit the paper from using or referring to the documents in the papers coverage. Diebold itself was not directly involved in the legal action. Instead, Jones Day pursued the case as an illegal use of its own confidential papers.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Dzintra Janavs sided with Jones Day regarding any materials stamped attorney-client privilege or attorney work product, but with a notable exclusion. The judge applied the order only to documents that the newspaper had not made public. The newspaper, wisely, had already posted four key documents on its Web site with the article, thus placing them out of reach of the judges order.
On the second request a ban on the use of information contained in the memos the judge never ruled. They argued that point for about half the hearing, and then they dropped it, said attorney Jean-Paul Jassy, who is representing reporter Hoffman and MediaNews Group Inc., which owns the Tribune. Then they focused on the return of the documents.
In the three-hour hearing, which lasted into the evening, Jassy said he argued alone against a phalanx of six Jones Day attorneys. I said they were asking for a prior restraint on speech, and that was unconstitutional under the First Amendment and under the California Constitution. Our position is that nothing the reporter or newspaper has done is illegal nothing, said Jassy. This case involves a constitutional right of the highest order, which is the right of the media to gather and disseminate news about a matter of profound public interest.
Secretary of State Kevin Shelley has until April 30 to decide whether to ban the Diebold TSx machine from the November election. The outcome could affect millions of dollars in future business for Diebold. The company also faces multimillion-dollar liabilities. The internal memos plainly confront this possibility. As one memo puts it, Issue: Whether the use of an uncertified voting system is illegal? Short answer: Yes.
The same memo then deals with whether the company had violated its contract with Alameda County. Issue: Whether Diebold breached the Agreement if it provided Alameda County with an uncertified voting system? Short answer: Mostly likely . . . If Diebold materially breached the Agreement, Alameda County can terminate the Agreement and sue for damages.
A later memo concludes that the company probably crossed the line. During the conference call with Karen Gantt on January 28, 2004, it was disclosed that [Diebold] modified a California state-certified voting system as an experiment to remedy various technical problems with the system . . . [It] failed to obtain California state certification . . . Issue: Whether a California state-approved voting system may be modified for experimental use without the secretary of states approval? Short answer: Probably not.
A furor ensued last year after the chief executive of Diebolds parent company invited 100 wealthy friends to a Republican Party fund-raiser. I am committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year, wrote Walden W. ODell in the letter. ODell belongs to Bushs Rangers and Pioneers, who have each raised at least $100,000 for the presidents re-election campaign.
ODells letter fueled conspiracy theories about thrown elections. Others accept electronic voting as the future but insist that the technology is far from foolproof. If the machines malfunction say, by giving votes to the wrong candidate it may be impossible to recognize the error, absent a paper audit trail. The whole uproar is especially ironic given that electronic voting was championed as the way to prevent a repeat of the 2000 Florida fiasco.
Secretary of State Shelley could elect to shelve all electronic voting. Fourteen counties, with about 45 percent of the states voters, rely entirely on electronic systems from Diebold and its competitors. Shelley has to decide by Friday because he is required by law to give local officials six months notice. Hell also have until Friday to decide whether to refer Diebold to the state attorney general for possible civil and criminal prosecution as recommended by his advisory panel.
But a defense of Diebold emerged from L.A. County, where Diebold machines are just part of the election arsenal. The states own spot checks showed 100 percent accuracy in vote recording, said County Clerk Conny B. McCormack, speaking to the Board of Supervisors. And frankly, she said, we know thats not the case with paper-based voting systems.

USA Volleyball's Dave Williams dies
Dave Williams, managing director of beach programs for USA Volleyball, passed away Tuesday morning at the age of 55 after a short battle with cancer.
Williams, a Hermosa Beach resident and native of Brilliant, Ohio, had family at his side when he succumbed in a Southern California hospital.
"USA Volleyball has lost a wonderful employee, a wonderful human being and a dear friend with Dave's passing today," stated USA Volleyball CEO Doug Beal on the association's website. "I am having a terribly hard time digesting and accepting that Dave will not grace us with his wit, energy, passion and love of life anymore.
"Dave brought so much passion and creativity to our staff and to the sport," Beal said. "He was just a joy to be around; and I am thankful to have had that opportunity more than many. In his too short time with USAV he became a committed voice for the sport and a great advocate for the Olympic movement and the national governing body's function in that movement."
Williams joined USA Volleyball in April 2010, taking over the helm of the newly-created position of managing director of beach programs.
Williams came well qualified to rebuild beach volleyball from the ashes of the Association of Volleyball Professionals. From 2001 until he resigned in 2010, he was AVP's tour operations director. During that period, he coordinated over 150 professional volleyball tournaments, perhaps more than any other beach volleyball organizer in the country.
He also founded the Manhattan Beach Open Dinner of Champions.
"USA Volleyball's job is to bring beach volleyball to every area of the country," Williams said in a July 2011 interview with Beach magazine. "If it's true, as the boating industry claims, that there is recreational water within 90 minutes of every place in the country, then there's also a beach. A beach on a lake is still a beach."
Previous to joining the AVP, Williams was executive director of the WPVA (Women's Professional Volleyball Association.) He accepted the WPVA position, without a salary, as a favor to friends playing on the tour. He lived off the proceeds from his interest in Café au Lait, developers of Paradise Tropical Tea, which had recently sold to the Sara Lee Corporation.
Williams had also held executive managerial positions with Vie De France Bakery Corporation, Mauna Loa and Pepsi.
Williams' marketing experience dated back to 1981, the year he graduated from Ohio State University and became a district manager for Pabst Brewing Company.
Memorial services are pending.

By Lauren Novik
24 hours and counting until Coachella and before you actually set foot onsite at the fest, there's the small detail of GETTING there.
No matter which part of Sunny SoCal you hail from you might as well come to terms with the fact that, for the next five hours, you're going to get up close & personal with your three best festies, and the I-10. No amount of strategy whether to take the 101 to the 405 to the 10 is going to get you there any faster.
So, instead of dwelling on the impending unnecessarily long road trip, here's a list of Coachella-bound survival tips & tricks to avoid both boredom, and accidental death of your co-pilot/passenger due to annoyance.
- Indie Rock coloring book. Nothing, literally nothing, could possibly kickstart your Coachella car ride more than putting your mark all over MGMT's page. OooohGurlll. Get it here.
- Change voice of GPS director to Snoop Dogg so he can tell you how to get to your hizzity house. TomTom helps you Snoopify your ride.
- Discuss each article of clothing in your Coachella outfit list and discuss why your ensemble-inspiration (Stephanie Tanner) is way better than you friend's. Do you remember Stephanie Tanner from Full House? Here's her dancing to Juicy J. And don't forget what you SHOULDN'T wear.
- Realize your extreme fest excitement is leading to the premature ejection of your Coachella-bound CDs and then sit in awkward silence for the remainder of the trip. No, we don't have to talk about it.
- Discuss at great length your group's #hashtag contenders for twenty-fourteen's onsite insta-uploads. Instagram is oh-so-necessary at Coachella. If you don't have it already, get it here. Also, what's wrong with you?? #COACHILLINISSOTWENTYTHIRTEEN
- Try not to wage war on your friends when they proudly proclaim that feather headdresses are better than your ornamental flower tiara. They are both equally ridiculous- you both win. But if you really want to wear one at Coachella, Urban Outfitters has tons.
- Discuss at great length what genre your outfit types fall into. This year you're so faux-boho-vintage-pseudo-nineteensixties-environmentalist-chic.
- PAUSE TO TAKE NECESSARY COACHELLA-BOUND SELFIE WITH WINDMILL IN THE BACKGROUND. I'm totally on my way to Coachella #ButFirstLetMeTakeASelfie
- Decide that you guys are all totally going to put a bird on it when Washed Out play on Saturday. Group bonding, guys! Haven't heard Washed Out? Now you have.
- Share an immediate sense of camaraderie with everyone else crawling towards Coachella on the 10. Chat with them (from the passenger's seat) using Waze.
- Immediately forget this shared bonding when you see that someone else is totally wearing your exact same dress from Urban Outfitters. Was that her going through your laundry?!
- You are officially only 10 miles away from your hizzity house! Y'all done made it! Now go forth, don those flowered and feather headdresses and get ready to shake it like a Polaroid picture! Or a Lomography which is even cooler.

Social Ethics
The Pomellato team numbers 600 people, with a marked presence of women (71% women and 29% men). The low personnel turnover and the strong employee attachment to the company are the result of a seriousness and work ethic shared by both the Managers and Employees of the Company.
Pomellato has supported the WWF Italy for 20 years. In particular, Dodo was created as a brand placing special emphasis on the environment, also intending to heighten its customers' awareness of the problems related to the protection of endangered species.
Pomellato holds the prescribed environmental authorisations which entail the execution of periodical checks, sampling and analyses. Every year, moreover, Pomellato invests in workers' protection and safety.
In 2009 Pomellato began donating to the association Unione Volontari Infanzia (Volunteers for Children Association). Furthermore, in the two-year period 1994 – 1995, Pomellato launched a charity project in collaboration with the photographer Michel Comte.
It's the SHOTS project, a gallery of portraits signed by Michel Comte, involving dozens of celebrities in the cinema and fashion worlds, that was concluded with a charity auction whose proceedings went to the construction of the orthopaedic hospital in Kabul.

Sealed with a Kiss-"Romeo and Juliet" under the stars
Young love against the world, does it ever stand a chance? The literary genre's classic tale of crushed innocence is "Romeo and Juliet," which Ben Donenberg and the Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles are presenting under the tall trees and the night sky in the Japanese Garden at the Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare Campus.
Theater-in-the-round can be dicey but a sense of missing out doesn't surface in this production because director Kenn Sabberton keeps his actors on the move. They utilize the entire space, an intimate space, too, darting in and out from every corner, sometimes crouching, sometimes sitting among audience members. Thoroughly at ease, their movements fluid, they never let up on the immediacy and the exuberance.
Not surprisingly, the most exuberant characters are the leads, Jack Mikesell as Romeo and Christine Elmore as Juliet. When they find each other, and when they exchange that initial fate-sealing kiss, they are butterflies first realizing that they have wings.
This reviewer often approaches Shakespeare with trepidation, wary of poor sound quality and acting as wooden as the boards underfoot. When the setting is shifted to another time and place, or when a racially mixed cast is announced, the apprehension only rises. Will it be well staged or just stagey? In this instance it's pure professionalism: The sound design (Cricket S. Myers), as well as the scenic and lighting design (Trevor Norton) are flawless. If you don't understand the words, it's not due to their lack of clarity.
In this production, the story is set in Los Angeles during 1923, the rivaling families – the Capulets (Juliet's kin) and the Montagues (Romeo's) – being, respectively, the Chandlers and the Hearsts as they duke it out in a bid to become the city's dominant newspaper. It's no mystery who "won," since nobody ever speaks of the Dorothy Hearst Pavilion, but apart from a few amusing moments at the beginning this conceit fades away rather quickly. When Romeo's good friend Mercutio (Gregory Linington) sits at an outdoor cafe sipping his cappuccino he's far more suggestive of James Joyce in Zurich than F. Scott Fitzgerald in Hollywood. One quick aside: Linington is a marvelous actor! But the point is, Capulets and Montagues could be rival sports teams, opposing politicians, or even competing art movements, say the Fauvists and the Futurists.
Setting the story during the Roaring '20s in L.A. strains the mixed race casting a little (more believable if we were in Harlem), but ultimately isn't a concern. However, the era does allow us to luxuriate in Holly Poe Durbin's costume choices, and to marvel at the dance choreography of Susan Goldberg.
I've indicated already that the acting is vibrant – vibrant and peppy for the leads; vibrant and well grounded in the case of Friar Lawrence (Michael Manuel); vibrant and impetuous in the case of Lord Capulet (Elijah Alexander); vibrant and sassy (think Martin Lawrence in "Big Momma's House") in the case of Juliet's nurse (Kimberly Scott), and so on.
The remaining cast is well integrated and balanced, whether it's the vengeful, snarling Tybalt (Christopher Rivera) or the smug Paris, Juliet's other suitor (Colin Bates), who looks like he should be wearing an "I Like Ike" button on his lapel.
Tragedy crushes the fragile dreams of Romeo and Juliet, but this finely crafted, well acted rendition of their story fully conveys why their dreams, in Shakespeare's exquisite prose, are with us to this day.

My nephew needs a new bike, he's 12, just over 5ft and obviously still growing. I was thinking Isla Bikes Beinn 26 size large but it'll only last him a year or so at his age.
Any ideas which bike to get with "growing room"?
I think he wants a new bike but I reckon 2nd hand is better, as it'll only last a few years at best
