An Evening with Jackson Browne
SINGER-songwriter Jackson Browne has announced his autumn tour dates to include a visit to Sage Gateshead on November 20. The tour, which crosses the US before arriving in the UK for five dates, ends with a sold-out gig at The Royal Albert Hall, and supports his new studio album, Standing In The Breach, scheduled for release in the UK on October 6.
The Californian singer rose to fame in the 1970s with his album Late For The Sky (1974). The title track was featured in Martin Scorsese's film Taxi Driver.

In 1977 he released his biggest commercial success Running On Empty and one of the tracks, Nothing But Time, was recorded while the band were on a bus somewhere in New Jersey. In 2004, Browne was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Accompanying Jackson on the road this autumn are long-time bandmates Val McCallum (guitar), Mauricio Lewak (drums), Jeff Young (keyboards) and Bob Glaub(bass), with the addition of acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Greg Leisz (guitar, lap steel, pedal steel).
"This is my ideal band, with some of my favourite players, all of whom appear on the new CD, and whose combined gifts provide the musical foundation and emotional underpinnings of my new songs," says Jackson. "I feel fortunate to have them out on the road for this tour."
An Evening With Jackson Browne is at Sage Gateshead – Hall One, Thursday November 20. Box Office : 0191-443-4661

Dear Dolores,
As I walked the streets of Jacksonville Oregon Tuesday, Whitman Parker, editor of The Jacksonville Review, email@example.com, was delivering his newspapers to store counters in the national historical "town." We chatted about the end of TDW's print edition and shared concerns for the end of a very transportable, more thorough version of issues reporting.
Whitman noted how The Jacksonville Review is a forum of local contributors that provide information to him for collection and editing into in-depth coverage of issues in western Medford, Jacksonville and the Applegate Valley. We agreed that print editions have that role of collected information for in-depth presentation of issues that is not easily translated to the immediacy of on-line stories and local readership commentary.
Today, Dolores, we are losing TDW's printed edition that started with the same "issues" performance noted by Whitman. What will remain is the challenge to your journalism to translate the issues performance into your on-line edition. TDW on-line is not there yet. Your forum is not a contribution to in-depth review of regional issues and your event stories are not focused on the underlying issues.
What is important is your continuance as editor/journalist and your opportunity to achieve a significant panel of contributors and your in-depth presentation of regional issues and the scope of positions. As you face on-line subscriber news services from major news services, it will take your willingness to be editor/presenter of in-depth, balanced issues and events reporting to maintain your relationship with your readers.
Thank you for your exceptional journalism and best wishes with your on-line presentation,
Hal Bailey

Feces left in library elevatorsNov. 6, 1997
By Cindy Szelag
Staff Writer for The Baylor Lariat
A 'misguided soul' spread feces on various fixtures in Moody Memorial Library sometime Tuesday night, said Baylor Department of Public Safety Chief Jim Doak.
Sherry Cook, personnel and facilities coordinator for the dean of libraries, said the incident was reported to library officials at 11 p.m. Tuesday.
'Apparently we had someone or someones spread feces on the elevators, especially on the buttons, and on one copy machine in Jones Library,' Cook said.
Cook said the library personnel closed the two elevators in Moody Library and the one in Jesse H. Jones Library and forced library visitors to use the stairs.
'Let's just say they kind of splurged a little bit in the elevators and spread it around,' said Robert Satchell, assistant manager of Baylor Housekeeping.
Officers from the Baylor Police responded to the call early Wednesday morning, Doak said. Cook said Baylor Housekeeping was also called Wednesday morning.
This is not the first time an incident such as this has happened in Moody Library, although before it has occurred in the restroom and not in an area as public as the elevators.
'This has happened in the past,' Cook said. 'Every few years it seems to surface.'
Cook said she hopes peer pressure will persuade the offenders to come forward to Doak or at least prevent them from committing the offense again.

And let's face it, "I, Alex Cross" is gonna need it, what with that Madea guy Tyler Perry installed as the new Alex Cross and all. I'm not saying Tyler Perry is the last person you'd be scared of coming after you with a gun, but I am saying he might be scarier if he put on his dress and make-up and came at you as his Madea character. Dude just doesn't look all that fierce.
Anyways, maybe the folks behind the Alex Cross reboot realizes they need a little bit of fanboy cred in their movie, because they've added the always awesome Jean Reno to the film, though no word on what role he'll be playing. But I'm sure it'll be awesome. It's Jean Reno. The guy makes sitting around playing poker look cool.
"I, Alex Cross" will star Perry, most famous for his Madea franchise (there is what, fifty installments now? The guy only does like five a year, after all), as the new Alex Cross, a Detective chasing a serial killer played by "Lost's" Matthew Fox. Ed Burns will play Perry's partner.
Rob Cohen ("The Fast and Furious") will direct the movie, which is loosely based on the 16th book in the "Cross" series of novels by prolific author James Patterson.
Look for Reno and Madea, er, I mean, Tyler Perry to save the day in late 2012.

Ford's hairy-chested XR8 Falcon is not dead yet, the company says. The model has been in limbo since last June, when production ceased after its 5.4-litre V8 fell victim to tougher emissions laws.
But it could return early next year in more than one guise, aimed at swinging V8 voters who have switched allegiance to Holden.
At the moment, Ford's performance arm, FPV, has the mortgage on V8 Falcons with its 5.0-litre supercharged GS, GT and GT-P sedans, which start from $56,990 plus on-road and dealer costs.
But that leaves Holden's V8 SS Commodore unchallenged as the cheap entry point to a local V8 muscle car. It sells from $47,790.
Ford Australia vice-president of marketing, sales and service, Beth Donovan, is adamant the project to revive the XR8 nameplate won't go ahead unless the car is ''more than competitive''.
The car was originally scheduled to make a return before the end of this year but that looks unlikely.
Donovan's comments are in line with those from recently replaced Ford Australia president Marin Burela, who last year said there was something ''exciting'' in line for a new-generation Falcon XR8 and that ''we are going to be bringing to the table more than we ever have''.
''If you're going to do it, it's got to be competitive,'' Donovan says.
Ford's marketing boss says any Falcon XR8 revival will involve out-muscling the Commodore SS and SS-V, which dominate the entry-level V8 performance segment.
Almost one in four Commodores sold is fitted with a 6.0-litre V8 engine, with most of those the sportier SS and SS-V models that come with more overt styling.
Donovan says there is still a lucrative set of buyers who only want an affordable rear-drive V8 performance car, something Ford doesn't offer, instead relying on its XR6 Turbo that uses a six-cylinder.
''We've got to figure out what those customers want,'' she says. ''You've got to make sure it's going to be competitive and then you've got to target them, give them what they want.''
An appropriate V8 noise, above-average performance and muscular styling are top of the wish list.
But Donovan suggests the project hasn't been signed off and if it isn't up to scratch, it will not go ahead.
''We're still looking at who are the buyers; what's it going to take?'' she says.
Donovan acknowledges that some Ford buyers have deserted the brand for a Holden and there would have to be a concerted effort to tempt buyers back into the Ford family.
She will not speculate on whether the V8 engine that would be used in the XR8 - it would need more power than the rival Commodore SS but less than the FPV GS, suggesting something about 300kW - would make it into other vehicles in the Falcon range.
However, she doesn't rule out using the Titanium badge - used on other Fords, such as the Territory and Mondeo - on a version of the Falcon, something that would sit nicely with a V8 under the bonnet.
The current flagship Falcon is the luxurious G6E.

NEW YORK Generic drug companies are increasingly trying to gain an early advantage in challenging lucrative drug patents and this has been strengthened by favorable court rulings for them, according to the Associated Press.
The generic companies are gaining a huge share of the market of these drugs by launching their generic version before the patent expires on the brand. The companies believe they can either win the court case or even if they lose, make enough in sales to still turn a profit from an at-risk launch.
The most recent example of such a launch occurred when Teva released a generic version of Wyeth's heartburn drug Protonix. That patent isn't due to expire for three more years, but in December, Teva launched its generic version over the course of several days, before ceasing shipments as part of a deal. Protonix sales reached $1.9 billion in 2007.
This process of challenging patents will continue as generic companies see the huge profits they stand to make by risking an at-risk launch of a generic drug.

For distributed power Artesyn's DC/DC converters go to point of load
Post a comment
Artesyn Technologies Inc. is counting on its new point-of-load converters to help it capture more distributed-power applications involving telecommunications and data communications equipment.
The Boca Raton, Fla., power supplier derives 65% of its revenue from enterprise computing and 35% from telecom/datacom networks, and says both sectors are increasingly shifting from central to distributed power systems requiring DC/DC converters that can provide voltages at the point of load, according to Todd Hendrix, vice president of worldwide marketing.
"There's a real explosion in point-of-load power," said Hendrix, noting that one cause has been the greater use of multiple voltages other than 5 and 12V to power lower-voltage ICs.
"I've seen one server application requiring 17 different voltages," said Jim Nelson, a product manager at Artesyn.
Designated the SIL10 series, the company's converters come in single-in-line packages measuring 1.2 x 0.61 x 0.53in. or 1.2 x 0.45 x 0.61in. The converters are available in eight models with fixed outputs ranging from 0.8 to 3.3V, plus a wide-output model with trimmable output voltage over a range of 0.8 to 3.6V.
Hendrix said the point-of-load converters, priced at $11.90 in quantities of 10,000, are at least 50% less expensive than brick-type converters.
"In server systems, you can't justify the cost of brick converters," Hendrix commented. Wireless-network designers, he added, were delaying 3G networks in favor of optimizing 2G and 2.5G networks through reducing power-system cost.
The lower cost stems in part from the fact that while brick converters have isolation circuitry, point-of-load converters don't--a factor that may not deter designers looking for a price break, said Mohan Mankikar, an analyst at Micro-Tech Consultants Inc., Santa Rosa, Calif.
"You can make a strong case for selling a nonisolated converter when there is a huge price differential," Mankikar said. He also noted that an isolated front-end converter can be used with a point-of-load converter to achieve isolation.
Hendrix said that the company's point-of-load converters offer time-to-market advantages over discrete-component solutions, which require additional board space and design effort.
"Artesyn can gain market share by targeting business that currently goes to discrete solutions," Mankikar said. "A packaged converter solution will ease assembly and take up less space for the designer."

ALMOST nine out of 10 people believe Maria Miller was right to resign as Culture Secretary, with two-thirds saying David Cameron had handled the issue of her over-claimed expenses badly, according to a Comres poll.
In a day of high drama at Westminster, the Prime Minister sought to justify why, after six days of bad headlines and a draining away of backbench support for the Hampshire MP, he had not sacked her.
"If people clear themselves of a serious offence, you let them get on with their job; you let them try to do their job," he told MPs. "That is actually the right thing to do. Firing someone at the first sign of trouble; that is not actually leadership, that is weakness."
Loading article content
But Mr Cameron admitted public anger at MPs' expenses was still "raw" despite the scandal breaking five years ago.
He acknowledged that the furious public reaction to the disclosure Ms Miller had wrongly claimed thousands of pounds in mortgage interest payments showed further reform of the expenses system was essential.
Labour leader Ed Miliband focused on what he branded the PM's "terrible error of judgment" in failing to sack her immediately after the publication of last week's Commons Standards Committee report. He accused the Tory leader of being an "apologist for unacceptable behaviour".
The announcement by Downing Street of Ms Miller's resignation came just after 7am yesterday. It followed a late-night telephone conversation between the Secretary of State and the Prime Minister as he was returning to London after attending a state banquet at Windsor Castle in honour of Irish President Michael Higgins.
Earlier, an emotional Ms Miller insisted she took "full responsibility" for her decision to go, saying she had become a "distraction" from the work of government.
"This has been a really difficult 16 months. Because I was cleared of the central allegation made about me by a Labour MP I hoped I could stay, but it has become clear to me it has become an enormous distraction," she said.
Although Ms Miller was cleared by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards of using taxpayer-funded expenses to provide a home for her elderly parents, she was told she should repay £45,000 wrongly claimed towards mortgage payments.
The sum was reduced to £5800 by the Commons Standards Committee. Nonetheless, she was ordered to apologise to MPs for failing to co-operate with the commissioner's inquiry.
The brevity and tone of that apology further fuelled criticism of the Basingstoke MP, and a growing number of Tory MPs joined a chorus of disapproval.
No 10 announced Ms Miller's replacement would be Treasury Minister Sajid Javid, a former millionaire investment banker.
However, a row broke out over the issue of the women's minister. Ms Miller had overseen the women's and equalities brief, and the former went to current Treasury Minister Nicky Morgan, who voted against gay marriage.
Downing Street stressed Ms Morgan would be able to attend Cabinet. But it was later announced she would answer not to Mr Javid, who has overall responsibility for the women's and equalities portfolio, but to Mr Cameron himself.
Labour accused the PM of having a "blind spot" when it came to women and called the reshuffle a "complete mess".
Meanwhile, Ms Miller said she would donate her ministerial payoff, which will be about £17,000, to a local charity,

Citrus Spray Afghan Square
I altered this square from one of Jan Eaton's squares in 200 Crochet Blocks, but it was a book from the UK. I tried to convert the stitches, but didn't use a conversion chart, so this is my version of her square. I think hers was called Sunray, but because of the color and design I've named mine Citrus Spray.
Again, I needed it to be twice the size of the pattern itself. This one was fairly easy to adjust by just continuing the pattern in each round. Your finished square will be 12″ square.

Darren Star started his career with the soap operas "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Melrose Place". Neither was going to win awards, but both caught on with audiences and swept up ratings until both had gone on longer than they should have. In 1998, the producer/writer created HBO's "Sex and the City" (based on Candace Bushnell's book), a show that originally gained a solid cult following, but rapidly gained mainstream acceptance once word-of-mouth began and the awards started rolling in.
What is it about the show? Personally, I think it's a marriage of perfect casting and sharp writing. Two Star-produced shows that were promoted as such, "The $treet" and "Grosse Pointe", didn't last more than a few episodes when they premiered in 2000. Yet, "Sex" still continues to get high ratings and, if anything, is more popular and somewhat more substancial than before.
The film stars Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw, a columnist who writes about sexual issues. She's accompanied by flirty, naive and adorable Charlotte (Kristin Davis), sexually agressive Samantha (Kim Catrall) and lawyer Miranda (Cynthia Nixon). The casting is excellent; while there's many who seem to dislike one or the other, it's difficult to deny that the four seem like believable friends - and more so as the seasons have gone on.
The third season continued the show's raunchy nature, but started to move away from it slightly, as the show started to focus on commitment - Charlotte gets married to Trey (Kyle McLachlan) and Carrie meets Adian (John Corbett), but ruins the relationship by returning to Mr. Big (Chris Noth) for an affair. The series also jumped to Los Angeles for three episodes, although the show didn't seem to find much humor about Los Angeles culture. It's an example, in my opinion, of how the show can occasionally be inconsistent. Still, while not realistic, the show is often funny, insightful and entertaining. It's branched out a bit more in the third season and went in new directions rather than continuing to try and do what it's done up until this point. Hopefully, the creators will be able to continue to develop the characters and add a bit of range, while still keeping the kind of raunchy humor that originally brought it controversy and notice.
Season Three: Disc 1: "Where There's Smoke", "Politically Erect", "Attack of the 5'10' Woman", "Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl", "No Ifs, Ands or Butts" and "Are We Sluts?".
Season Three: Disc 2: "Drama Queens", "The Big Time", "Easy Come, Easy Go", "All Or Nothing", "Running With Scissors" and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (the audio commentaries are on the last four of these episodes).
Season Three: Disc 3: "Escape From New York", "Sex and Another City", "Hot Child In The City", "Frenemies", "What Goes Around Comes Around", "Cock-A-Doodle-Do".
The DVD
VIDEO: "Sex and the City"'s season III episodes are, as were the last two sets, presented in 1.33:1 full-frame. The picture quality for the first season suffered from some problems, but the second season looked more consistent. The third season looks even slightly better than the prior one. Sampling several episodes, the picture quality looked very good. Sharpness and detail remained quite pleasing, as the epsiodes looked crisp and well-defined.
The one issue that was quite apparent in the first season and a bit less so in the second season still lurks here: noticable grain is occasionally seen. Still, it's slight and certainly appears less frequently than prior seasons. Pixelation and edge enhancement weren't noticed. Colors looked natural and vivid throughout, with no smearing. Overall, the episodes looked quite good - definitely better than the appearance of the first season and a little bit better than the second season's episodes looked. Surprisingly though, there were no subtitles included.
SOUND: "Sex and the City" is again presented by HBO with the show's original 2.0 soundtracks. The show's audio is perfectly fine, simply offering the dialogue and often-pleasant background score. Occasionally, some nice ambience enters in, as well. The audio maintains a nice balance between ambient sounds, music and dialogue, while all three sound crisp and clear.
MENUS: As with the prior two sets, HBO has offered elegant and fun animated main menus for this new set. Sub-menus are easily navigated, well-designed and informative, offering text summaries of the episodes and more.
Commentary: The other two season sets for "Sex and the City" have been bare-basics in terms of supplements, but this set actually adds a commentary from executive producer/writer Michael Patrick King for four episodes on the second disc. The producer/writer's commentaries are actually very good and have a lot to say. He goes into detail about the production and writing process and also has some good insights about the creation and development of the characters. Throughout the four shows, the chat gives a very good overview of how the show works.
Also: Episode promos, cast/crew bios, awards text, DVD-ROM weblink.
Final Thoughts: While I've never been a serious fan of the series, I've liked catching up on the show with the DVD releases - the third season continues to offer the same solid writing and performances. This new 3rd set offers slightly better audio/video than the already fine 2nd series episodes and even brings some additional supplements to the table. Definitely recommended for fans.

Metra officials have apologized and rescheduled a "Polar Express" train that shut its doors to about 150 ticket holders over the weekend -- including children in pajamas -- but are still investigating where the responsibility for the mix-up lies.
The Glen Ellyn Park District, which hosted two other trips over the weekend without incident, will be refunding the tickets and has rescheduled a Polar Express train for 11:25 a.m. Saturday. Those families who can't make the rescheduled train will receive complimentary tickets for next year's train.
"We really try to create a magical experience, just like in the story, riding the train to the North Pole," explained Sarah Sandquist, the district's recreational director.
The district takes over one train car and conducts activities based on the classic children's book and movie.
"We have the kids look outside and watch for reindeer tracks, we sing carols," Sandquist said. "You know, it's just a really nice family event. Everyone enjoys it. We have families that come back every year for it."
But those families waiting for the 11:25 train at the Elburn stop in Glen Ellyn last Saturday were turned away by the train's conductor who told them to wait for another train that would arrive 10 minutes later.
That train never came.
"My daughter, Adeline, was crying," said Kaili Harding, of Wheaton. "I would say there were probably 7, 8, (and) 9-year-olds that were upset."
Sandquist had the difficult task of informing the families of the mix-up.
"It was heart-breaking for me," she said. "I had to compose myself because I knew it would be difficult. The parents had signed up so early, so they had been talking it up that, you know, we're going to see Santa, we're going to the North Pole, so it was just very difficult for me."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Inclusive Communities, Omaha, NE, USA
This is a tremendous organization that has been in existence since the 1930's. The mission is "Confronting prejudice, bigotry and discrimination through educational programs that raise awareness, foster leadership and encourage advocacy for a just and inclusive society." The majority of the programs are offered through schools, from elementary to university, but some are also delivered through the workplace. These are not your mother's diversity programs - these are long-lasting, impactful programs that change participants' lives. I cannot think of a better way to positively influence our next generation than to support this organization.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the positive impact the programs have had on my 7th grader.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
Inclusive Communities
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
seeing the positive and long-lasting impact on participants' lives.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
talented, committed and very good at their responsibilities. have a fighting chance to reach all the kids it needs to reach.
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Hey there kemosabe it's me, Dennis Miller. While it's true that I've had more shows than the original Broadway run of Cats, I really don't see how one more is going to hurt. Hair plugs aren't cheap, OK babe? So pull up a footstool and check out the promo for my latest offering, Sports Unfiltered with Dennis Miller, which is set to cha-cha into your living rooms on Nov. 6. Because smarmy pseudo-punditry will be in short supply this winter what with the elections coming up!

The New York Times, June 13, 2014
In a 2013 paper, Dr. Harlan Krumholz, a professor of medicine and public health at Yale School of Medicine, described a syndrome that emerges in the days and weeks after a hospital stay: "Physiologic systems are impaired, reserves are depleted, and the body cannot effectively avoid or mitigate health threats." He called this period of vulnerability "post-hospital syndrome." The syndrome was identified as a result of new Medicare rules that hold hospitals responsible for re-admissions within 30 days after discharge. When health systems began studying patients who returned to the hospital soon after discharge, two critical facts emerged. First, the problem is common and widespread, occurring after nearly one in five hospitalizations of patients on Medicare.

One-on-One with Sue Bird
Sue brought all those accolades to the WNBA as the number one overall draft pick this past April. In the midst of her first WNBA season, Sue is taking the league by, eh-hem, Storm. She ranks in the top ten in five statistical categories, including third in steals-per-game and fourth in total assists. Bird has combined with second year pro Lauren Jackson to provide a potent inside-outside scoring punch for Seattle. In addition to all that, Sue is proving to be a fan favorite, leading all West guards in votes received in balloting for the starters for the 2002 WNBA All-Star game. (Vote now for All-Stars!)
Sue stopped by for an online chat on Friday, June 21. See what she had to say about the effect Title IX has had on her life, the growth of women's sports, the Storm's playoff aspirations and more..
AKA(L.I.): Sue; MUCH RESPECT! (even though I never once doubted you're work ethic). Explain Title IX and what it has done for you and women in general.
Sue Bird: Thanks for writing. I'm lucky because my generation is one of the beneficiaries of Title IX. And I'm also lucky that I get to hear the stories of Lin Dunn who is one of the pioneers. And without it, I probably would not have a place to play right now. I'm very thankful for that.
Emily, Houston: Have the vets of the WNBA helped you become more thankful of the program and to be able to be a pro athlete?? Thanks and can't wait to see you here in Houston!
Sue Bird: Definitely. To see where they came from and what they've done for women's basketball, I'm very thankful for that. For people my age, we have to kind of take the torch and continue to run with it.
angela (seattle): You are a great asset to the Seattle Storm and single-handedly increased the hype of womens basketball in the Northwest. How do you feel to be such a important icon in a new enivronment?
Sue Bird: I don't really look at it like that. But I was happy when I got drafted by Seattle. I looked at it as a great opportunity and so far the people in the Northwest have been really really welcoming. And hopefully interest will continue to rise.
Armando Somerville, MA: Sue, Growing up ,who were the people that shaped your life and what would you like to see in the future for women's sports? Thanks and good luck for the rest of the season.
Sue Bird: Thanks for the good luck. Growing up it was really just the people I came in contact with that shaped who I am, my family, my friends, my teammates and my coaches.
I think we're headed in the right direction. If we can continue what we're doing and get better and better, the game will grow.
prospero : Hey Sue!! How is your rookie year going? I love watching you play on TV. I cant wait till you come to New York to play the Liberty! Hope you like it in Seattle! thanx
Sue Bird: So far so good. We've lost a few games but we're competitive with everybody. And our goal is to make the playoffs. I think we're headed in the right direction.
Jessica: Hey Sue! I wanted to say that I think you are awesome! I also wanted to ask what would you have done if you hadn't been given the opportunity to play basketball at this level? Good luck for the rest of the seaon!
Sue Bird: I'd probably be playing soccer. And if I couldn't do either of those, I'd have to find another hobby.
Damon (Cleveland): In your "This Is Whom I Am" advertisement, who is "Big Poppa?"
Sue Bird: To make a long story short, Big Poppa is a song written by Notorious BIG and the guy just asked me to recite a line from it. So I did. It's just one of my favorite songs.
T. Berry (Dallas): If you could play a game of horse against a NBA player and a WNBA player, retired or active, who would they be and why?
Sue Bird: Larry Legend -- Larry Bird. And Nancy Lieberman for WNBA.
Julie (Gresham, OR): Sue, We love watching you play. What's your favorite part of playing for the Storm, and do you think we'll make the playoffs this year?
Sue Bird: My favorite part is probably just who we work with coaches and team. We have great people. Plus we get to play in front of some very great fans. Thanks for the good luck.
Sue Bird: Thanks to all of the fans who signed on. I wish I could answer more of your questions, but today is a game day, so I have to go prepare. You guys sent some great questions, so thank you and go Storm!!
Moderator: For more information on Title IX and the WNBA pioneers, tune in to this evening's special edition of Player's Journal: Title IX, at 5p.m. on Lifetime!
Moderator: Thanks to everyone who sent in great questions. This is a game day for Sue, so we had to keep the chat a bit shorter than normal, but we will get her online again before the season is over!

Things to See and Do

The parsley just went crazy this spring and my partner and I were considering our options. Unlike strawberries, mint and limes, which we can always find use for (mojitos!), parsley always seems to overproduce.
We tried to give it away, but the reception was tepid. We thought to freeze it — why, I have no clue — and then there was an idea that maybe we should just cut it down and move on with our gardening lives.
Then nature gave us an answer. It seems that Swallowtail caterpillars, the larvae of those gorgeous big black and yellow butterflies (we LOVE butterflies and hummingbirds) thrive on parsley and its kin (carrot tops, Queen Anne's Lace, dill, celery…) and several had decided to dine on the parsley patch that choked up our herb garden.

This time, Rob Kirkby was simply a spectator at the ring ceremony.
On the first weekend of Kirkby's latest stint with the Calgary Roughnecks, the 30-year-old defender watched his new teammates -- and several old ones, too -- collect their championship hardware.
He could've worn his own ring to the celebratory shindig, but that's not his style.
"It's on display," Kirkby explained. "It's something I like to look at. In fact, it's more of a ... I don't want to say an icon, but it's something I respect too much to be wearing every day."
While his memento of the 2004 Champion's Cup triumph will remain on his mantlepiece, Kirkby is dusting off his pads after a three-year hiatus from the National Lacrosse League.
Kirkby was in the Riggers lineup for last night's 15-12 exhibition victory over the Edmonton Rush in Lethbridge, and GM Brad Banister was impressed with what he saw.
"He's playing better than we expected, and he's getting better every time he hits the floor," Banister said. "Our defence is looking pretty good. I have to admit, they're looking really good."
The Riggers also made a solid first impression on offence, scoring 10 times in the first half before taking their foot off the gas.
Speedy Jeff Shattler completed his hat-trick in about three minutes and finished with five goals, while Craig Conn also scored three times.
Nolan Heavenor and Dane Dobbie had two each, while Rob Van Beek, Scott Ranger and rookie Carlton Schuss had singles for the Riggers.
The defence, as expected, took it from there.
The Riggers boasted the league's most stingy defensive unit last season and limited the high-powered New York Titans to only 10 goals in the Champion's Cup finale, but the return of Kirkby is one of the main reasons some insiders believe they'll be even better this season.
Kirkby was regarded as one of NLL's top defenders during his first stint in the Stampede City and played a key role in the Riggers' unexpected title run in 2004.
Banister was thrilled about bringing back the speedster, recounting memories of a double-overtime goal Kirkby scored against the Toronto Rock to help the Riggers lock up a playoff berth in their first championship season.
"We called him the Toronto killer. I think he single-handedly got us into the playoffs in 2004, when we won the Champion's Cup," Banister said. "He hits hard, but he's also got such fast feet that he can go down the floor and score big goals, like he did in the Toronto game.
"I just expect more Rob Kirkby -- tenacious, fast, just a real good defender."
Kirkby was named a West Division all-star in 2004, when he established career-highs for goals (three), assists (15) and loose balls (86).
The Roughnecks have adopted more of a no-frills, in-your-face approach to defence over the past two campaigns, but Kirkby figures he's a perfect fit for the revamped system -- and vice versa.
"To a T," he said. "I've always liked to, instead of sitting back and waiting for the offence to make mistakes, pushing forward and forcing them to make mistakes. That's the way defence should be played, in my mind."
The Roughnecks defensive system won't change much from last season, but there's a possibility the personnel will look a little different.
With both Kirkby and hard-nosed Craig Gelsvik returning to the fold and top prospect Curtis Manning knocking on the door, the returnees aren't taking anything for granted.
"Those guys have come in and looked great already, so it's going to be tough for the guys that have been here, and that's great," said Riggers assistant captain Andrew McBride.
"Guys definitely know that there are jobs on the line and the intensity needs to be ramped up because the coaches came in right away and said there are no gauranteed spots.
"When you go down the roster, you believe it."

As title, I've been given an iPhone with my new job, and its a cracking piece of technology!
Just need as many hints and tips as you can give me, and what are the best (preferably free!) apps.
Also, I've set up two email accounts on it - one my personal GoogleMail the other a work one. Is there any way to lock the GoogleMail one so no-one can access the emails on that account?

This post comes from Lakeland, FL native Jeremy Wilson. Jeremy wrote our first ever guest post entitled, The Curious Case of Jeremy (Lin). He is now joining us to blaze another trail and to help spark a debate. This is our first "letter to the editor", in which he is responding to Colin's post yesterday on why the NBA Playoffs are better than March Madness. He originally started writing it as a comment and then it kept getting longer and longer and was submitted as a guest post. Feel free to weigh in on the debate in the comment section below!
Colin, here are my thoughts about the "arguments" you bring to the table. I wrote my comments using your same format as a reference point.
The NCAA tournament is more exciting:
Your argument- "Each game in the NBA series carries a heavy weight of importance." You know what kind of games carry a truly heavy weight of importance?—A win or go home game. When the final buzzer sounds, one team is sent packing. That makes every NCAA tourney game pretty damn important, whereas an NBA team can afford to lose 3 games and still go on to the next round. The NCAA tournament's drama is the threat of your season ending every time you tip it off. The Heat winning by 33 isn't exactly gluing me to the television.
NCAA is more fun to watch:
Any legitimate college hoops fan could name more than 2 players on the top 10 teams in college. That IS an indictment of your college basketball knowledge, and there IS enough talent to garner your attention, especially this year. The upcoming NBA Draft is LOADED with talent coming out of college basketball, one of the most loaded drafts in recent history. An NBA fan like you should be keeping up with these players throughout the year because these are the guys that will be the faces of the NBA years later. Don't you wish that you could have watched LeBron in college? With the one-and-done rule the best players have to play college hoops, giving us the opportunity to watch/evaluate them playing against legitimate talent before they hit the main stage of the NBA. It's like getting sneak peek movie ticket.
The NBA Playoffs have more longevity:
"You might not even get a chance to watch your team play in the NCAA because of seeding and time slot. What a waste." False. In 2011, CBS and Turner Sports signed a new television/coverage deal allowing every game of the tournament to be watched in completion on its own channel. All games are on one of these stations—CBS, TNT, TBS, and Tru TV—giving a South Dakota State fan the same chance to watch their team's whole game as a Syracuse fan. And no, just because Tru TV shows one of the games doesn't mean that the production is a lower quality. All 4 of those channels are made equal for the tourney.
Charles Barkley:
As I mentioned before, Turner Sports now covers the NCAA tourney, which means that Sir Charles (and all other NBA-TNT guys) now covers the NCAA tourney. NCAA tourney also adds Nantz, Vern, Rafftery, Kellogg, and Bilas. The coverage & the breakdown of the NCAA tourney is unmatched.
Each game in the NBA is different:
"College coaches aren't given that opportunity to strategize because as they win a new opponent is now on the horizon." I think you're arguing your own point here. An NBA playoff series is a guaranteed 4 games against the same opponent. You can only make minimal adjustments when you are playing the same guys over and over the NCAA tournament round is one game per team, making every game very different. Coaches have to scout their current game and possible future opponents, opponents that possess all types of playing styles. Yes, playing the same team repeatedly will build great story lines, but in no way does that make each game more different than each NCAA tourney matchup.
Here's the difference: regular season college atmosphere > regular season NBA atmosphere, and that flip flops for the post season. The NCAA tournament provides roughly 90% of the NCAA's yearly revenue. Playing games in football domes = more seats, and more seats = more money. That's why they do that. Back to your main point, college fans are rowdy all season. The NBA can't compete with the student-section atmosphere until the playoffs. When I traveled with the Vols' basketball team to that joke of an arena located 2.5 hours west of Knoxville (that was for you, Joseph), I was able to see an awesome road game environment up close and personal. They passed out white t-shirts with "War on I-40" printed on them (sidenote- this is a name for the rivalry that only they use, classic Vandy). They had deafening chants and screams, and hell, I even saw their mascot punch a student!!! I think this subject is a push, because both atmospheres are electric at different times of the year.
It means more:
Honest question: which one meant more to the city of Memphis—the Grizzlies going to the conference finals or Tiger High going to the final four? Judging by conversations I've listened to between my Memphis friends, I would say that the Tigers making the final four is more important to the city, because they are the city's team. The FedEx Forum is infinitely fuller for a mid-week Tigers' game than a mid-week Grizzlies game. Also, colleges who make consistent, deep postseason runs generate the "Flutie Effect"—the Flutie Effect happens when colleges receive a major increase in applications and interest due to national attention brought on by their athletic team(s). Plus, NBA teams are usually in large cities/markets with multiple pro teams. Memphis & OKC are two teams in the playoffs that buck that trend. The cities of Boston, LA, Orlando, Chicago, Dallas and Miami (just to name a few) aren't going to see a major impact because of a pro team making a playoff run.
In conclusion, I enjoy the NBA playoffs more than the NCAA tournament. I like seeing the best against the best, so I like the best of seven format better than the one and done format too. However, trying to persuade someone to agree with the format by telling them that it's more exciting is inaccurate and lazy. After all, it's just personal preference. Clayton finds the mandolin and the djembe more interesting than I do, but that doesn't make them more exciting. You need to come at people with facts rather than personal opinion—for instance, show how TV ratings were much lower for the UConn v Butler title game than the Kentucky v Kansas title game—proving that the majority of people like watching the best vs the best. The NBA playoffs weed out most irrational upsets, and the one's that they don't weed out either get exposed in the second round or are actual contenders. Examples: The eight seed Golden State beating the one seed Mavs in 6 games in 2007—next round? Dismantled by the Jazz in 5 games. Then, the 2011 eight seed Grizzlies beating the one seed Spurs—as you know, the Grizzlies went on to lose in game seven to the Thunder in the next round, proving that they were a contender. Using facts and examples can actually change someone's mind, but telling them that what they like isn't as good as what you like should be a last resort. That being said, I feel like your blog post was just reasons why you like the NBA, not a legitimate case for why it is or isn't better than the NCAA tournament. New post title—"I like the NBA playoffs."
I was intrigued when I saw this post, because I feel like most casual sports fans would say they like the NCAA tourney better than the NBA playoffs right off the bat without putting any thought into it, and because I love both college hoops and the NBA. I was just disappointed that you picked out arguing points that could swing the casual fan either way so easily, and not ones that showed how different the two postseasons are. Like I said, I like the NBA playoffs better than the NCAA tourney. I thought that reading this post would cement that into my head, but it instead pushed me more towards siding with the NCAA tournament. But hey, it's personal opinion after all.

If you have an aortic aneurysm, following your treatment plan and having ongoing medical care are important. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent rupture and dissection.
Your doctor may advise you to avoid heavy lifting or physical exertion. If your job requires heavy lifting, you may be advised to change jobs.
Also, try to avoid emotional crises. Strong emotions can cause blood pressure to rise, which increases the risk of rupture or dissection. Call your doctor if an emotional crisis occurs.
Your doctor may prescribe medicines to treat your aneurysm. Medicines can lower your blood pressure, relax your blood vessels, and lower the risk that the aneurysm will rupture (burst). Take all of your medicines exactly as your doctor prescribes.
If you have a small aneurysm that isn't causing pain, you may not need treatment. However, aneurysms can develop and grow large before causing any symptoms. Thus, people who are at high risk for aneurysms may benefit from early, routine screening.

Drunk Governor? Massachusetts Governor Got 'Quite Drunk' After Tsarnaev Capture (VIDEO)
Getting drunk may not be the usual behavior expected of state governors, but Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has admitted that after the surviving Boston Marathon bombing suspect was captured, he went to a restaurant by himself and got "quite drunk."
Democrat Gov. Patrick made his admission while conducting a visit to a Cambridge marketing firm this week.
He was explained his relief that Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been captured after a massive manhunt on April 19.
Patrick had ordered for an order to be given in Boston that day to lock down massive parts of the city as hundreds of police hunted for the suspect at large.
The governor knew how controversial that decision could have become if they had been unable to find Tsarnaev by the end of the day, and especially if it emerged later that he had already escaped the Boston area completely.
The lockdown saw residents across the city told to remain in their houses, lock their doors and windows, and not to open their homes up to anyone except authorities, who would clearly identify themselves.
As the day wore on the search proved unfruitful and the lockdown was being lifted when suddenly in the early evening Tsarnaev was found hiding in a boat in a local Boston resident's garden.
His capture sent a wave of relief over the entire city, and indeed America, but not many were as relieved as Patrick.
The governor has now described how he went out to the Rouge restaurant in West Stockbridge and got "quite drunk" while finally eating a meal after a tense few days following the horrific Boston bombings.
Maggie Merelle, co-owner of the restaurant, has told the Boston Globe that hosting the governor that evening had made her feel like a "mother feeding him." She explained, "We just wanted to nourish him."
Here is a video news report with Gov. Patrick speaking during the manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects:

* Foreign groups interested in Ansaldo STS, AnsaldoBreda
* Unions oppose ceding control to foreign groups
* Finmeccanica shares rally 4.5 pct
MILAN, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Finmeccanica told unions on Monday it is in advanced talks to sell its prized gas turbine unit AnsaldoEnergia to Korea-based Doosan Heavy Industries, a move that would help Italy's defence and aerospace group cut its large debt pile.
At a meeting with unions, Chief Executive Alessandro Pansa also said the state-backed group was in talks with foreign manufacturing companies for the possible sale of unprofitable train maker AnsaldoBreda and rail technology group AnsaldoSTS, two other units that are part of Finmeccanica's disposal plan.
Shares in Finmeccanica rose as much as 4.5 percent after the update on a sale disposal plan worth around 1 billion euros that has been in the works for more than a year.
Rating agencies Fitch, Standard and Poor's and Moody's have all cut Finmeccanica's debt to 'junk' after political wrangling and a corruption investigation into an Indian helicopter tender slowed down the disposal plan.
In a statement, unions said they opposed the sale of the units to foreign groups unless prospective buyers gave clear reassurances that jobs and key technological know-how would stay in Italy, now in its second year of recession.
"We believe the Italian government should immediately get involved. We ask the government to clarify once and for all its position with regards to the sale process," the unions said.
Unions would like Italy's state-holding Cassa Depositi e Prestiti or its Italian Strategic Fund investment arm to buy a core stake in the three Finmeccanica's units to avoid ceding control to foreign players.
A union source said one of the options on the table was to sell a portion of Ansaldo STS together with AnsaldoBreda to make the latter more appealing to a prospective buyer.
Finmeccanica had 3.4 billion euros in net debt at end-2012.

Sydney Prescott smiled as she watched her fifth-graders giggle and toss a beach ball around the Goshen Elementary School classroom.
Words such as "electricity," "open circuit," "energy efficiency" and "insulator" were taped to the ball's sides.
Georgia Power Education Coordinator Teresa Cobb caught the ball each time it sailed toward her. She called out the term closest to her thumb, and students eagerly responded, anxious to get the ball moving again.
It was only one activity the students engaged in during the Learning Power program May 4.
Learning Power is an initiative of Georgia Power to reinforce the Georgia Performance Standards in science. It also presents electric utilities as a career option and teaches energy efficiency.
"We believe in being a citizen wherever we serve," Cobb said. "This is just another way we are working with the school systems in Georgia to enhance the students' knowledge in physical science."
The program is presented around the state by 11 education coordinators such as Cobb.
She is responsible for the East Region, which encompasses 12 counties including Richmond, Columbia, Burke, McDuffie and Jefferson.
Her five years as a kindergarten teacher and five years as an assistant principal prepared her for this job, she said.
"If I don't know anything else, I know that after about two minutes of talking to these kids, that's it. We'd better be doing something. It keeps them involved. It keeps them moving. It keeps them participating," she said.
She's used the beach ball activity in the past to teach vocabulary, to review for tests and to present her job during career fairs.
In another activity, students learned which materials are conductors and which are insulators by joining hands to form a circuit through which electricity could flow. If the object, such as a steel wool pad, was a conductor, an electricity ball held by two students would light up.
If the object, such as a rubber eraser, was an insulator, the ball would not light up. Students tested a variety of objects and sorted them based on whether they were conductors or insulators.
Austin Brantley, 11, said he learned more about what Georgia Power does.
"Like how they deal with other types of electricity and different power sources," he said.
One of the purposes of the program is to present utilities as a career option. Students have to choose a career path by the eighth grade.
"They're having to know more about STEM: science, technology, engineering and math. We target all of those areas and try to enhance students' knowledge and just create their awareness about energy efficiency and electricity and the utility industry," she said.
The new program is presented to students in third, fifth and eighth grades. The Georgia Performance Standards for those grades link directly with what Georgia Power does, Cobb said.
Prescott said she appreciated the opportunity for her students to participate in the program.
"It married so well with our curriculum," Prescott said. "It was just an awesome complement to what the kids are learning in the classroom."
Over the summer, Cobb and other education coordinators will develop curricula for other grades to broaden Georgia Power's reach.
Cobb said many students have asked her if she could present at church groups and Boy Scout meetings. She said knowing that the children find it valuable enough to share is rewarding for her.
Fifth-grader Thomas McEnulty said his favorite activity was the electricity ball experiment.
"It wasn't half bad," he said of the whole presentation. He said he had already learned most of the concepts in class.
Prescott said the hands-on activities helped students understand the material from a much more relevant perspective than just concepts from a textbook.
"The really important thing, as far as Georgia Power coming out, is just that it makes this a real life experience for them," she said. "We can talk about open and closed circuits all day long, but for them to see them in action and how they really work just makes it real for them."

Lose 10 Pounds In One Week; Just Like I Did
Some people think that there is no way you can lose 10 pounds within one week; if you are such a person, then you are wrong because I myself did it. Actually, losing weight is not that complicated as many people think; it is only that we ignore the basic things. However, with proper observation of certain parameter, you can lose even more than 10 pounds in one week. I am going to give you a step by step procedure on how to lose 10 pounds in one week. Basically, it is mainly a matter of disciplining yourself and deciding to give your best.
If you are serious that you want to lose weight, then the following are some of the steps you can incorporate in your daily undertakings and believe me not, you will be able to lose 10 pounds in a week.
Steps to lose 10 pounds in one week
- Observe the dos and don'ts: some of the dos include drinking at least eight glasses of water daily to ensure proper hydration, avoid stress and have enough speed. On the other hand, the don'ts include drinking alcohol excessively, smoking or substance use. I always refer to these practices as the weight-loss basics because they are the simple things that anybody can manage to control.
- Increase your body energy and metabolism rate: for your body's metabolism rate to be higher, it will require energy. Therefore, from the time you wake up; consider taking sugar-free tea or foods or energy boosters. You can also increase your metabolism by doing some light exercises like push-ups, yoga or jogging. This will definitely make your heart pump blood faster thus increasing metabolism. A glass of home-made juice is also best for boosting energy levels in your body.
- Eat a balanced diet: diet plays a big role in losing weight quickly. You need to eat foods will sufficient proportions of all the components. It will be better if you eat natural foods only and avoid processed foods for the whole week. Most of the processed foods contain substances that could add undesirable calories to your body. Whole grains, legumes, fruits, vitamins and vegetables should never miss in your meals.
- Workout exercises: you need to do short but high-intensifying exercises that will stretch all your muscles intensively. Exercises help in burning body fats by increasing the rate of metabolism, ensuring proper blood circulation and building up muscles. Therefore, do exercises that your body can manage but the ones that will involve all body muscles.
- Supplements: there are also proven diet supplements that speed up the weight losing process. Some of them include omega 3 and protein powder. These supplements back up the nutritional deficiencies thus ensuring that there is sufficient energy required by the body's metabolism.
- Juicing: drinking one glass of natural juice during every meal is a very effective way of burning 10 pounds in one week. The juice contains all the nutrients that speed up fat burning process and therefore you need to consider having a juicer at your home and knowing how to juice well.
If the above mentioned steps are correctly followed, be assured to lose 10 pounds in one week and obtain a fit body within this period.
In Summary
When people hear of losing ten pounds in one week, they think it is a miracle; but it has happened to many. Definitely it is not easy but it is real. There was a beneficiary of this program who said that he was able to lose 10 pounds in one week in favor of Fat Loss Factor. Just like many people, he had tried different methods for several years to cut down his weight but all the trials bore no fruits. It was until when he read information about Fat Loss Factor This program has full explanation on the various activities that you should incorporate in your life for you to burn fats in your body. For instance, it is not easy to lose 10 pounds in one week but courtesy of Fat Loss Factor, you will get a full guideline on the diet plan, workouts and lifestyle. Then you will be able to calculate the amount of fats you take into the body, the amount you lose, the amount you are supposed to lose and the changes you have to initiate so as to meet your weight lose goals. It is a magnificent program. In fact the video shows everything making it even better and easier.

To assist students with the registration process, we've included important information below:
The HUB: The HUB is the center of Enrollment and Financial services at Carnegie Mellon. The HUB is located in the basement of Warner Hall, but the majority of services provided can be completed online using the HUB website. Course forms such as Add/Drop, Transcript Request, Audit and other forms also may be downloaded from the HUB website.
To register for classes, you use your Andrew ID and password to access Online Registration (OLR).
Please note, the Tepper School of Business uses its own registration system. For more information, see the Non-Tepper Student Course Requests website.
Maximum Units Per Semester: You may take a maximum of 48 units per semester. Students generally take 36-48 units per semester. If you would like to take more than the maximum units, you must submit a petition to the INI Enrollment Services Office, who will then forward it to the advisor committee for review. INI students, whether U.S. or international, must register for a minimum of 36 units each semester, except for the summer and the graduating semester (specific criteria must be met).
Undergraduate Courses: Only up to 36 units of undergraduate courses (300-499) can be considered toward degree requirements (between core and restricted elective courses).
Overlapping Courses: The INI discourages students from enrolling in courses that have overlapping content to the extent that students will not receive credit toward degree requirements for redundant courses. Students should refer to the Overlapping Course List (PDF) to ensure they do not take courses with redundant content.
Waitlists: Typically, INI students are waitlisted for courses due to either the popularity of the subject matter or so departments can ensure that the students who need the courses to graduate have priority. This is common in all departments (including the INI) during the registration period, and it does not mean that you will not be enrolled in the course.
If you are waitlisted, it is best to attend the class until you are formally registered in it; this will give you a better chance of getting in since you will not have missed any coursework. When a student does not attend a waitlisted course, it is assumed that the student is no longer interested in attending, and they will be dropped from the list. Please contact the INI Enrollment Services Office for help with managing your registration status.
Tagging Up: This term refers to confirming your position on waitlists. Towards the end of the registration period, Enrollment Services generates emails asking students on waitlists to confirm their position on the list. If a student does not tag up, they are dropped from the waitlist.
Add/Drop and Course Auditing: You have the option to add and drop courses within a certain period of time at the beginning of each semester. The deadlines for these actions are listed on the Academic Calendar. You should regularly consult this calendar, as well as the Tepper and Heinz calendars whose add/drop deadlines are different.
Mini Courses: Mini courses are offered for half of a semester and are typically six units each. The first mini course in a semester starts on the first day of classes and ends at mid-semester. The second mini course starts at mid-semester and ends on the last day of classes. Mini semesters are listed as fall/mini 1 and 2, spring/mini 3 and 4, and summer/mini 5 and 6. You can check the "MINI" column in the Schedule of Classes to determine if a course is a mini course. Another indication of a mini course is a number appearing in the section. For example, section "A1" indicates a mini course that is offered in the first half of the fall semester.
Pass/Fail: A student who wants to take a course as pass/fail is required to register for the course and submit the Pass/Fail Approval Form to the INI Enrollment Services Office for approval from the student's Academic Advisor and the Director of the INI. If approved, the INI Enrollment Services Office will send the form to The HUB for processing.
Audit: A student who wants to audit a course is required to register for the course, obtain permission from the instructor and ask the instructor to sign the Course Audit Approval Form. Then the student must submit the form to the INI Enrollment Services Office for approval from the student's Academic Advisor and the Director of the INI. If approved, the INI Enrollment Services Office will send the form to The HUB for processing.
For more information: Please refer to the Student Handbook for additional information about the aforementioned subjects and to learn about other topics.

If you are a former student who did not graduate and would like to return to complete your degree, please refer to CIT's "Statue of Limitations for Master's Degree Studies" Policy.

Those pesky women's magazines: exhorting us to love our bodies one minute, then instructing us on how to lose 10 pounds another. (Then there's the hypocrisy of women's magazine editors urging readers not to smoke while at the same time accepting advertisements from R.J. Reynolds & Philip Morris). Anyway, today in ladymag mixed messages, from the September issue of Cosmopolitan, how to simultaneously craft a man-eating persona while staying true to yourself!
Man Manual: What Will Really Impress Him, page 80
Sure you're sexy, smart, and fun..but so are a lot of other chicks. To really stand out from the pack, it helps to have that something extra — qualities that make a guy go 'This girl is freakin' awesome!' You'll be that much hotter to him if...
Love And Lust: When You Want To Meet A Guy, page 166.
Forget trying to become the kind of woman guys might like—really, who knows?! Become the kind of woman 'you' like and we promise, guys will take notice. 'A smart woman will work on making herself happy before concentrating on men,' says Dennison. It's more fun, and you exude an "interestingness" that's magnetic to dudes.
