Carnegie Museum of Natural History is building a new website! Look for it in 2017.
Minerals staff are currently in the process of re-cataloging the entire mineral collection which consists of approximately 30,000 specimens. A large portion of these specimens date back to the 19th century which mandates that the species name and locality information be updated in the collection database to include the modern nomenclature and ever-changing geographic names.
With the acquisition of approximately 5,000 Pennsylvania specimens in 2007 that were formerly part of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia's collection, research into the history and importance of minerals and mineral localities in Pennsylvania was initiated. These additional specimens, combined with the nearly 3,000 already in the collection and the over 2,700 specimens acquired in 2014 from the Bryon Brookmyer collection, make the Mineral Section's collection an important repository of Pennsylvania's mineral heritage and the most comprehensive Pennsylvania collection in the world.
The staff are also diligent about upgrading mineral specimens on exhibit in Hillman Hall of Minerals and Gems and bringing specimens of display quality from new mineral discoveries into the exhibits as they become available.
Debra and Marc Wilson won the Betty & Clayton Gibson Memorial Trophy for Best Museum Exhibit at the 2017 Tucson Gem & Mineral Show.
All of the specimens in the display are from the famous Tri-State District in Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas

The alarm rings at 4:30 a.m.
It's another early start for Jessica Heim, who throws on a swimsuit and heads for a workout.
After two hours of training at the Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Rolando Park, Heim is off to Horizon High in Clairemont, where she is in the top five of her class with a 4.56 grade-point average.
Following six hours of school, Heim is back at the Kroc center for another two-hour practice.
The day is typical for Heim, reigning San Diego Section Division II champion in the 200-and 500-yard freestyle. Although the 4:30 a.m. wake-up calls are limited to three times a week, Heim works out virtually every day swimming or lifting weights. She's been doing it since she was a freshman at Horizon.
"My life is mainly eating, sleeping and swimming," said Heim, 16, a junior.
It began as a means of survival for Heim, a Clairemont native. Her father, who loved to fish, would take the family out on a boat but needed to make sure Heim and her sister could swim if they fell in the water. Her mother enrolled Heim in lessons when she was 2.
"I just remember going to the shallow end and bobbing around," Heim said.
The lessons didn't stop there. When she was 4, Heim joined a swim team. At age 6, Heim became a competitive swimmer with her sister.
"My mom just kept taking us to swim practices," Heim said. "From there, after practicing so much, I just kept on getting better and better."
As the only member of Horizon's swimming team, Heim has made her mark. After her titles last spring in the 200 free (1:50.51) and 500 free (4:55.61), Heim recorded a preliminary qualifying time for this year's World Championships.
Heim has been an advocate for the swimming program at Horizon. She expects the team to expand from one swimmer to more than 20 next season.
"She's very motivating for other students who want to come along," said Gina Miller, Heim's coach and supporter. "For her, it'd be wonderful to have team members."
The roadblock for Heim – and many of her classmates – is an actual pool. Horizon doesn't have one on campus, forcing Heim to practice at the Kroc center.
For meets, Heim participates with Santa Fe Christian High and represents Horizon as a one-person team. Without teammates, Heim can't take part in relay events. However, that doesn't stop her from trying.
Once in practice, Heim swam a four-person relay by herself and actually beat some other swimmers.
"She was all four people," Miller said. "It was just a practice and it didn't count, but that was impressive."
While Heim finally might have teammates next season, she's happy swimming by herself for now.
"I just love swimming so I don't necessarily care if people are there or not," Heim said. "I would like to have other team members, but if I'm my own team, I'll be my own team."

Several Bedford County schools will have new principals this year as a result of a reorganization plan being implemented by new Bedford County Schools Superintendent Dr. Douglas Schuch.
Dr. Schuch announced the changes, that include a number of transfers and reassignments, following last Thursday's special called meeting of the Bedford County School Board.
Among the changes:
Local children harvested produce and an education this year from the National D-Day Memorial victory garden.
During World War II, Americans were encouraged to plant victory gardens at home. The goal of these gardens was to increase the food supply during the war.
The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 approved by the Senate on an 87-7 vote Thursday includes language that directs the U.S. Department of the Interior to study the feasibility of adding the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford to the list of monuments and historic sites owned and operated by the U.S. National Park Service.
The provision was introduced by Senator Warner and co-sponsored by Senator Webb. The two Virginia senators had introduced similar, stand-alone legislation June 8.
The Bedford County Sheriff's Office is investigating a rape that occurred on Goodview Road on Monday July 20.
The victim reported to investigators that she was walking down Goodview Road, between 11 p.m. and midnight Monday night, when she was offered a ride by an unknown white male. She reported that after getting in the car, the suspect drove her to a railroad service road on Goodview Road and forced her to have sex.
Larry Stanecker couldn't have chosen a better time to go to work for Grumman Aircraft Engineering.
Stanecker, who now lives in Goode, took the job with Grumman in 1968 when the company was knee-deep in its efforts to build the lunar landing module, or LEM, that would help man land for the first time on the moon. A year later that effort would pay off.
This past week, as NASA celebrated the 40th anniversary of man setting foot on the moon, Stanecker looked back in amazement of that event.
A delegation of high school students and teachers from the world's third largest democracy are spending some time in the world's second largest democracy.
A man shot Sunday in Hardy has been charged with malicious wounding.
On Monday, Frederick Hancock was arrested and charged with the malicious wounding of his girlfriend, Jamie Klimaitis, and is being held in the Blue Ridge Regional Jail in Bedford on no bond.
On Sunday July 26, at 4 p.m., the Bedford County Sheriff's Office received a call from Roanoke Memorial Hospital reporting that they were treating a gunshot victim. The caller advised that the shooting had occurred at 2527 Bandy Mill Road, Hardy in Bedford County.
The charges against a 32-year-old man who fled from police following a traffic stop last month, injuring a Bedford city police officer in the process, will be heard by a Bedford County Grand Jury.
Brian Aubrey Burnette had been charged with attempted capital murder of a police officer as the result of an incident in April, but that charge has been reduced to felony assault of a police officer. The charge stems from a stop made by Investigator Tim Stanley of the Bedford Police Department.
Stewart Grant came face to face with a bear last week. Fortunately there was a window in between them.
The Liberty High School teacher and head baseball coach was at his house on Vista Circle behind Bedford Memorial Hospital watching a baseball game downstairs when he noticed the visitor. Grant looked out a window and saw a snout sitting on his air conditioning unit. He got up to see what it was and quickly realized it was a bear.
The charges against a Rhode Island man accused of traveling to Bedford County to meet a 13-year-old girl for sex have moved forward to a Bedford County Grand jury.
Andrew Fitzgerald Holloway, of 774 West Shore Road, Warwick, R.I., waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court Monday. He faces three charges of unlawful carnal knowledge, a Class IV felony, and two counts of communicating online with a female under the age of 15 years old for the purpose of soliciting carnal knowledge, a Class IV felony.

It would be too easy to dismiss Alex Gibney's "The Armstrong Lie" as a two-hour-and-three-minute exercise in moral relativism and rationalization, too late to the party about a cheating athlete we've already made up our minds about — again.
But the Oscar-winning Gibney ("Taxi to the Dark Side") had access to Lance Armstrong before he was caught cheating, and after. His cameras captured the seeds of Armstrong's undoing. And while he allows plenty of screen time to condemn the corrupt, arrogant, bullying Tour de France champ, he is just as interested in bringing back the context, the "everybody was doing it" argument that Armstrong has fallen back on himself. It may be the truest thing the compulsive liar Lance has ever said.
Built on the ruins of an abandoned 2009 documentary that was to celebrate Lance's comeback in that year's Tour de France, Gibney goes back to Armstrong just as he was forced to 'fess up to Oprah in 2012, figuring a guy "who lied to my face … owed it to me."
And he did.
What Gibney brought to life is here a tale of "power," of a hyper-competitive control freak who, even now, is wrestling for control of his story, his myth.
Gibney, with footage from 2009 and fresh interviews with Armstrong's victims, shows the intimidation Armstrong used to keep his myth intact and keep those rumors at bay.
Gibney, knowing what to look for in that old footage, plays a wonderful game of catch-up here. He is never less than blunt about the scope of the cover-up and the corruption of the sport and those who monitored it. This is a real inside-cycling "how they did it" expose, with teammates like George Hincapie laying out the MO for the program of injections, blood transfusions and private jet flights (to hide their activities from the world) that propped up Armstrong's U.S. Postal Service team.
Armstrong's candor, at long last, is refreshing, though grudgingly given. He doesn't come off as a good guy here, even if the data is there to show that yes, "everybody" pretty much was doing it. He was just better at it.
But the absence of fresh interviews with two of Armstrong's fiercest critics — teammate Floyd Landis is seen in archival interviews with other journalists, and the only legitimate American Tour de France winner, Greg LeMond, is nowhere to be found — makes you wonder if, even now, Armstrong is controlling his story.

Researchers from Imperial College, London, say people feel safer in four wheel drive vehicles and therefore take more risks. They call for greater efforts to educate the public as to the dangers and for tougher enforcement of the law.
Observers watched 38,000 ordinary cars and nearly 3,000 four wheel drive vehicles pass through Hammersmith in west London over two weeks in 2004. They say in the British Medical Journal that 8.2% of the drivers of four wheel drive vehicles were using a mobile, against 2% of drivers of ordinary cars - a "worryingly high level of non-compliance". The figures hardly changed after penalties were brought in on March 2004, they say.
Mobile phones may pose an unrecognised risk, says a letter to the BMJ. Medical staff at Northwick Park hospital in Middlesex say a 15-year-old girl was struck by lightning using one in a park. She had a heart attack and was resuscitated, but a year later was still in a wheelchair. Lightning will enter the body if it is in contact with liquids or metallic objects, the authors write. Three other cases have been reported in China, Korea and Malaysia.
Research by Mike Gill, regional director of public health in the south-east and colleagues questions government figures on serious injuries in road accidents. Government figures from police reports show they fell by 32% between 1996 and 2004. But data from hospital admissions shows the figures have hardly changed.

Content Marketing: Leads through Relevant Content
Optimize the interface between SEO and content and bond customers.
Generating leads in the web: Content marketing
Blog contributions instead of newspaper advertisement, YouTube videos instead of advertising brochures - there is no stopping the digital transformation of the advertising landscape. Many companies have recognized the opportunities of content marketing and offer their customers relevant and useful content instead of product-centered advertising.
The benefits of target-group specific content have been proven in numerous studies. According to the B2B Technology Content Survey Report 2014 by Eccolo Media, relevant content plays an increasingly important role in the entire sales cycle.
But content marketing isn't just an important instrument in the immediate sale. With a well thought-out content strategy, search engine ratings can be improved, the reader's time spent on the website extended and return rate improved and leads generated.
Customers become brand ambassadors, interested parties become interested readers, a community can develop. With web analytics, the results can be evaluated at any time and activities adapted to customer needs quickly. That is why content marketing at Infopark is always a process supported by technology, but a creative one as well.
Why content marketing is important for companies
Companies did not just start providing customers with content yesterday. What the marketer now refers to as content marketing was already being employed by innovative companies at the beginning of the 20th century. Who is not familiar with the Guide Michelin, which first appeared as a guide for motorists to find garages and nowadays is published as a restaurant and travel guide. the tire manufacturer grew from being a pure producer to a publisher to gain trust and to positively influence their image.
Beyond that, content marketing is a suitable instrument for both gaining new customers and bonding existing customers, for distinguishing yourself from competitors, for conquering new areas of business - and for increasing sales. Web users look for relevant and high-quality information in the flood of web messages. Companies that use content marketing provide web users with precisely that.
Advantages of content marketing for companies
- Content marketing and SEO are an unbeatable team - search engines prefer websites with relevant content.
- Up-to-date content assures readers return and increases the time they stay on the website.
- If the target group receives relevant content, the image of the company improves and the customer dialogue is intensified.
- The target group can be broken down into segments so that differing content formats and subjects can be published for the specific needs.
- Trust is established: Interaction rates and conversion are increased.
- The company establishes a sustainable status as an expert and becomes an opinion leader in the network.
From strategy to seeding
To complete all the activities cost effectively, the content marketing is performed in phases and is a constant cycle of actions and success analysis. Based on the definition of the own business and the corporate goals, a content marketing strategy is developed including the relevant set of keywords.
In the strategy phase, the target group is defined very precisely, so-called buyer personas are developed. In the content production, the editors create relevant copy, images, graphics and videos. But not only the classical format such as blogs, magazines and such are considered - online quizzes or Facebook contests are selected that match your target group.
After publication, the content is scattered in the network whereby the channels are also selected according to the target group. The cycle is concluded with the monitoring of the figures, the course can be continuously improved. This makes content marketing significantly more effective and sustainable than classical advertising.
Content marketing with the Infopark CMS
Infopark supports you in your content marketing strategy and simplifies the workflow for marketers and editors with the easy handling of the CMS.

Jim Johnson's injury rehab assignment moved to Single-A Frederick tonight. He allowed four straight hits to Winston-Salem in the eighth inning, but only one run.
Johnson faced six batters, but he threw only 11 pitches. Pretty strange.
I'm told that his fastball sat in the low 90s.
Winston-Salem entered the game leading the Carolina League with a .289 average.
Triple-A Norfolk left-hander Zach Britton struck out nine Charlotte batters over eight innings. He allowed one run and five hits, and faced only five batters over the minimum. Britton threw 93 pitches, 58 for strikes.
He had been scuffling, so this is encouraging.
Britton, who posted seven victories at Bowie, joins teammate Chris Tillman and Single-A Delmarva's Kenny Moreland as the only Orioles minor leaguers with nine wins.
Michael Aubrey homered twice for the Tides, giving him 17 for the season. He has 11 homers and 32 RBIs in his last 24 games.
Scott Moore and Lou Montanez each had three hits, and Nolan Reimold added two hits, two walks and two runs scored.
Matt Angle hit his first Triple-A home run. He's reached base safely in 33 consecutive games.

50 year prison sentence for Liberia's Charles TaylorListen /
Former Liberian President Charles Taylor awaiting verdict on April 26, 2012. Photo: UN Webcast video
Liberia's former president, who was convicted for aiding and abetting war crimes in Sierra Leone, has been sentenced to 50 years in prison.
The 64-year-old Taylor was convicted in April on 11 counts, including terrorism, murder, rape, sexual slavery, and recruitment of child soldiers during the 1991 to 2002 civil war in Sierra Leone.
Thousands of people were killed and others had their limbs hacked by rebels during the war.
Julie Walker spoke with Solomon Moriba, the Press Officer for the UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone about the sentencing, as well as the scene inside and outside the courtroom.

I remember trying this last fall, around the time when I first discovered davids, and being underwhelmed by it. All I got, both from dry sniff and from the sample I had in store, was an artificial caramel-ish note that was cloying and just really overtook any good qualities about the tea itself. After reading soo many positive reviews and fervent wishes that it would return this fall, I decided to give pumpkin chai another shot.
After all, it combines many of my favourite flavours, from pumpkin to cinnamon to that lovely chai spice blend. Is the recipe different this year, or just my tastebuds? Because I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I don't get that unpleasant caramel top note, but rather a rich, creamy, almost toasty quality that is just so comforting and delicious. I'm a convert. This will be my go to tea for fall, I think.

Wide receiver Duron Carter, son of former NFL wide receiver Cris Carter, could be transferring to FAU with hopes of playing for the Owls in the 2012 season, a source has told OwlAccess.com.
According to the source, Carter recently applied for admission to FAU, but has yet to be accepted. He is also in the process of petitioning the NCAA for a transfer waiver, which would keep him from having to sit out a year before playing.
Carter is hoping to receive the exemption because he would be transferring to be close to his family. Cris Carter has been a South Florida resident for nearly two decades.
A product of Fort Lauderdale-St. Thomas Aquinas, Carter began his college career at Ohio State before transferring to Alabama, with a stop in between at Coffeyeville (Kansas) Community College. The 6-foot-5, 215-pound wide out caught 13 passes for 176 yards and a touchdown in 2009, his lone year as a Buckeye. In his lone season at Coffeyeville, Carter caught 44 passes for 690 yards and 10 touchdowns. Academic and transcript problems kept Carter from ever taking the field for the Crimson Tide.
Should Carter be granted the transfer would have two years of eligibility remaining. If he is accepted to FAU but the NCAA doesn't grant the waiver he would have to sit out a year and the 2013 season would be his only year of eligibility.
Carter's status at Alabama has been the subject of widespread speculation in the last few months and Carter was not on a roster released by Alabama in the last few days.

Grass-roots movements key to ending world's toilet problem: UNICEFWorld Toilet Day observed
NEW YORK, 19 November 2013 - Toilets are still out of reach for more than one-third of the global population, with devastating consequences to the health and development of children, UNICEF said on World Toilet Day.
However, the key to bridging the gap lies within communities themselves, the organization emphasized. Since 1990 almost 1.9 billion people gained access to improved sanitation, but in 2011 the total without access was still 36 per cent of the global population, or approximately 2.5 billion people.
"Access to toilets remains the unmentionable, shameful secret for even some very prosperous countries," said Sanjay Wijesekera, the global head of UNICEF's Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) programmes. "But its invisibility doesn't make it harmless; in fact it is quite the reverse. Lack of access to toilets is quite literally killing children, making adults sick, and slowing progress - day after day after day."
According to figures released by UNICEF earlier this year, lack to access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene is a leading cause of deaths from diarrhoea in children under five, amounting to approximately 1,400 children dying each day. UNICEF's has spearheaded a social change movement that that has led more than 25 million people to end the practice of open defecation and now use toilets.
The Community Approaches to Total Sanitation (CATS) programme, encourages communities to take the lead and identify their own measures to end open defecation, and has been achieving results at scale. At the last count, over 50 countries have implemented CATS and many governments have mainstreamed a similar approach into their national policy. But despite this success, Wijesekera said more still needs to be done, and urgently, by countries, communities and individuals, principally to bring the taboo subject of toilets and open defecation from the shadows, discuss it frankly, and agree on tackling the problem.
The CATS approach works precisely because it depends on people taking their own decisions, and coming up with their own solutions. As more governments and communities apply the method to eliminate open defecation and scale up access to toilets, many more people stand to benefit, especially from a reduction in WASH related diseases. As well as its on-going global "No access" campaign at www.unicef.org/toilets4all, UNICEF is promoting major pushes around the world on World Toilet Day, to bring awareness to the dangers of open defecation and the problem of lack of access to improved sanitation.
In India, where in 2011 approximately 65 per cent of the population did not have access to improved sanitation, and over 620 million people defecated in the open, UNICEF India is rolling out Poo2loo, an on-line campaign addressing the issue of open defecation in the country. Individuals can take the pledge for a 'poo free country' at www.poo2loo.com; join on Facebook and follow the campaign updates on Twitter.
In Mali, on World Toilet Day, UNICEF is launching a Sanitation Marketing Project in partnership with PSI-Mali and the National Directorate of Sanitation. In Eritrea, there will be celebrations of certifications of Open Defecation Free communities throughout the country. "Every action which spurs people to change their way of dealing with defecation brings us closer towards the goal of sanitation for all," said Wijesekera. "It is not easy, but it is certainly doable, and moreover, it is absolutely indispensable if we are expecting to live healthy lives in the 21st century."
* World Toilet Day, long observed on November 19, was made an official United Nations Day by a UN General Assembly resolution in 2013.
* The Millennium Development Goal target is to reduce the proportion of the global population without access to improved sanitation, from 51 per cent in 1990 to 25 per cent by 2015. Although since 1990 almost 1.9 billion people gained access to improved sanitation, in 2011 the total with access was still only 64 per cent of the global population.
* Improved sanitation refers to sanitation facilities that hygienically separate human excreta from human contact. Improved sanitation facilities include those with sewer connections, septic system connections, pour-flush latrines, ventilated improved pit latrines and pit latrines with a slab or covered pit.

John Paul Jones
John Paul Jones
"John Paul Jones" (July 6, 1747–July 18, 1792) was America's first well-known naval hero in the American Revolutionary War. John Paul Jones was born "John Paul" in 1747 in the Stewarty of Kirkcudbright on the southern coast of Scotland. John Paul's father was a gardener in Arbigland, and his mother was a member of Clan MacDuff.
John Paul adopted the alias John Jones when he fled to his brother's home in Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1773 in order to avoid legal troubles in Tobago after he killed a sailor involved in a mutiny. He began using the name John Paul Jones as his brother suggested during the start of the American Revolution.
Though his naval career never reached the heights predicted for him after his victory over the ''Serapis'' with the converted slaver ''Bonhomme Richard'', John Paul Jones remains the first genuine American Naval hero, and a highly regarded battle commander. His service in Russia showed the mark of genius that enabled him to defeat the ''Serapis''. Jones simply was not as good a politician as he was a naval commander, in an era where politics determined promotion, both in America and abroad. Though he was originally buried in ...

State Senator Brian X. Foley (D – Blue Point) and Islip Town Supervisor Phil Nolan announced the winning design for a spray park to be built in Brentwood, as chosen by students in the Brentwood School District.
Following the allocation of a $500,000 state grant secured by Foley, students from throughout the Brentwood School District chose from four themes for the spray park, choosing the "Egyptian" design as their winning theme.
"I want to thank the students of Brentwood for their input and I think they made a great choice," said Supervisor Nolan. "This spray park is going to a great asset to the Brentwood community and a safe place for children to play next summer."
The theme choices and vote totals were: "Egyptian" – 952, "Castle" – 374, "Under the Sea" – 245, and "Dinosaur" – 113. A rendering of the winning "Egyptian" design is attached.
"I am so pleased to see that students from Brentwood played an active role in selecting the theme for the spray park," said Foley. "The spray park will provide children and families in Brentwood and the surrounding areas with fun and safe recreational activities. It will be a facility our entire community can be proud of."
The Town of Islip will now move forward with construction of the spray park which is anticipated to open in the summer of 2010.

FA charges Newcastle and Arsenal
Newcastle and Arsenal have been charged with failing to control their players following Saturday's Premier League fixture, the Football Association has confirmed.
• Wenger hails Barton 'courage'
• Barton Twitter offensive continues
A melee erupted during the second half of the goalless draw at St James' Park after Joey Barton confronted Gervinho, who had fallen in the penalty area under a challenge from Cheik Tiote. Gervinho then slapped Barton after the grapple, and the Ivorian was subsequently sent off by referee Peter Walton.
A statement from the FA read: "Following Gervinho's dismissal Arsenal have today lodged a claim that the standard punishment of a three-match suspension is clearly excessive. A regulatory Commission will hear that claim on August 16."
Arsenal's Alex Song has been charged separately with violent conduct following an earlier incident in the same game. Song stamped on Barton, who was left furious after his opponent received no punishment from Walton.
Barton received a yellow card for his part in the fracas, and as such has already been sanctioned. Newcastle have revealed they will deny the charge, while Arsenal have until 1600 BST on August 18 to respond. Song, meanwhile, must reply by 1800 BST on August 16.

Today's Digital Daily
The new lifestyle brand opened its first freestanding store in the world this weekend.
The move takes place prior to the March 11 ban on the import and sales of animal-tested cosmetics products and ingredients in the European Union.
Hussein Chalayan opened his fall show with basics, not with the proverbial twist but an elevated edge.
Creative director Yoshiyuki Miyamae delivered the boldest take yet on the tartan trend sweeping through this season.
Marion Cotillard, Mélanie Laurent and Marie-Josée Croze took in the show's Surrealist set.
While still respecting the codes of the house, for fall Simons flexed many of his own signatures more obviously than in his debut collection.
At times frustrated, the retailer's chief executive officer claimed that he "had a mandate to transform" Penney's when he took the helm.
Fall was a welcome return to her improvisational Parisian roots with a relatively understated collection based on comfort and layering.
The designer presented a smart-and-studied lineup of wearable looks that had her easy-chic signature written all over them.
The show kicked off with promise — sculpted jackets, coats and shirts, each hand-painted with a yellow or pink stripe.
Concept shop is located in the Flatiron District and includes a well-edited mix of off-the-runway looks.
Geraldo da Conceicao showed his debut collection for Sonia Rykiel, in the brand's first runway outing under new owners Fung Brands Ltd.
Budget impasse seen slowing ports and impeding the launch of a U.S.-European Union trade accord.
Yohji Yamamoto started his fall show in plain black, a buttoned-up shirt and skirt traced with white stitching, almost like a raw pattern.
A supreme elegance defined this beautiful collection.
Jessica Chastain, Renzo Rosso and Ulyana Sergeenko were among the attendees.
Sticking to a black-and-white palette, they kept silhouettes ultrashort with pleated minidresses and quilted ruffle microskirts.
Move coincides with the brand moving up in a key Japanese ranking.
The majority of the lineup was devoted to men's wear fabrics — pinstripes and gray Prince of Wales — bursting with hyper-feminine treatments.
Tilda Swinton, Jane Birkin and Clémence Poésy attended Acne's first women's ready-to-wear show in Paris.
This collection was a step in the right direction for the designer, who is looking to build a viable ready-to wear business with the backing of Puig Group.
Phoebe Philo took a decidedly feminine turn without sacrificing a bit of the no-nonsense chic that has made her such a star.
The funds will be used for international expansion and beefing up the site's multi-channel platform.
Clare Waight Keller framed her fall collection with the idea of "that transition from when you're young to being a woman."
During his fashion show, Watanabe sent out models with three soft shoulder bags that he designed and were produced by the Spanish firm.
Albert Kriemler dedicated his fall effort to his mother, who died last December.
Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Chastain, Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian took in the show.
The e-commerce behemoth is hitting the airwaves to support its fast-growing fashion category.
Riccardo Tisci staged a show to remember Sunday night, upping his production to theater quality with a major front row and a headlining act.
Two years in the making, the cover story by Pierre Alexandre de Looz, a contributing editor at the biannual German magazine, is to spread over some 30 pages.

August 6, 2010 BY John Kim
It's the first weekend of August, and we all know what that means: Back-To-School shopping! It's a love-hate thing, getting to re-stock your wardrobe with fresh threads, only to wear those new digs during your fourth period History class or your Organic Chemistry lecture. August is starting off great because releasing tomorrow is the original colorway of Jordan's first retirement shoe, the Air Jordan IX (9). Although this 2010 version uses the omnipresent Varsity Red rather than the original True Red, there won't be much controversy due to the fact that the color plays such a small role in the colorway of the shoe. 2010 has seen a large number of Air Jordan IX releases but it's always to OGs that get the most notice, so don't miss out when these drop tomorrow at your local Jordan Brand retailers, or avoid going out in the hot sun by picking up a pair on eBay.

Touched upon in Good Morning News, Idaho Senate joined Texas and Virginia yesterday in mandating that all pregnant women must undergo an ultrasound prior to terminating their pregnancy. While this idea alone ushered in a slew of disapproval, Idaho Senator Chuck Winder delivered a shocking kicker in yesterday's closing arguments.
"Rape and incest was used as a reason to oppose this. I would hope that when a woman goes into a physician, with a rape issue, that that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage, or was it truly caused by a rape," said Winder.
Yikes. If being raped wasn't traumatic enough, now you may be doubted by a doctor? Following a barrage of upset responses over Winder's doubt, he tried to backpedal: "I used a married woman, the idea being that as a woman or a couple, whether they be married or unmarried at the time, would want to find out if the pregnancy occurred as the product of the rape, or whether the pregnancy was unknown at the time," Winder told The Associated Press. "There was never any intention on my part to question the honesty of a woman in cases of rape."

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Action In Community Through Service of Prince William County, Dumfries, VA, USA
I have donated thousands of dollars to this fine organization for over the past 20 years and know the current Director and all of the past 4 Directors over that time. They are a very frugal, well run, run organization helping the very needy and desperate in the community. They have strong board members who are intimately involved in every aspect of the business.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Seen those it serves.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Have more support from the smaller, start-up organizations who mean well but are not equipped to provide services for the needy. They initially takes scarce community resources from ACTS as they begin their own programs only to have them frequently disappear as the person who is leading their effort has a decrease in enthusiasm or their task becomes too burdensome.

Despite warmer than usual conditions, duck hunters in the Lake Salvador Management Area were successful during the first split of the season.
George Garcia, the harbor master at Pier 90 in Luling, said most hunters killed their limits regardless of the conditions.
"This past weekend the temperatures were in the 60s and 70s and hunters still killed their limits or close to it," he said.
Cameron Fremen hunted with Derek Cantrelle and Matt Leblanc on a very warm Saturday morning, still the trio managed to kill three blue wing teal, four green wing teal and a gray duck.
"I guess we had an alright hunt," Fremen said.
But the warm weather did make it more difficult for some hunters.
"We were in the wrong place and not set up right. We only managed to kill two ducks this morning," Paul Hymel said.
Due to the creation of the coastal zone, which includes the Lake Salvador Management Area, the old east and west zones have been meandered into new positions. According to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries website, the new vertical border between the old zones starts at the Arkansas border, running down through Bossier Parish to Shreveport, then making a 70-degree easterly turn to merge, southbound, with Louisiana Highway 167. The boundary then runs down through Alexandria to Evangeline Parish, where all three zones are juxtaposed.
The coastal zones northern-most reach is in central Evangeline Parish at the three-zone meeting point. Anything south of Highway 90 to the east is designated as being within the coastal zone.
All parishes directly west of Lafayette are now designated as being within the coastal zone as well.
The second split of the season will open for the east zone and coastal zone on Dec. 15. The east zone will close on Jan. 27, while the coastal zone will close on Jan. 20. The west zone opens on Dec. 22 and will close on Jan. 20.

- Seto no Hanayome chapter 21 almost done. (Seriously)
- Musunde Hiraite Chapter 4 being cleaned by Jetine, translated by Kohta.
- Seitokai no Ichizon Chapter 8 will be translated and typesetted by me after Seto no Hanayome. Cleaned by Sukone.
Musunde is now active. I'm still working on Seto no Hanayome ;_; Seitokai was proposed by Sukone, and I've taken a liking to it, so it will be our next project despite not putting it on our "Planned" list first.
Felt like putting up what is going on since the last post lacked substance other than me sucking up to everyone. We are still slow and small, but at least we are working. I remember how many fledgling scanlation groups I saw when I browsed forums for new recruits that I never heard from again. And so, progress.
Cheers to our supporters for being patient, and our cleaners, Jetine and Sukone, who are just too amazing at cleaning.

Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling
Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling
With all the books on the market about the intersection of faith and culture, you have to wonder why we need another one. The answer is simple: it's unlikely that any other book out there accomplishes what CULTURE MAKING does, and certainly not in the way that Andy Crouch does.
Crouch --- columnist for Christianity Today, documentary filmmaker and classically trained musician --- begins his discussion of culture with the birth of a baby, setting us up for the staggering scope of the content to come. But Crouch deftly reins in what could be an unwieldy amount of material, first by providing concrete images (such as an omelet) to describe the way people create culture, second by giving simple and understandable definitions of culture (such as "the accumulation of very tangible things --- the stuff people make of the world"), and third by organizing the material around the basic premise that "the only way to change culture is to create more of it."
If that last quote leaves you bewildered ("And just how do we create more culture?"), rest assured that Crouch doesn't leave you stranded. But before he shows how we can creatively make more culture, he examines the four ways Christians typically respond to the culture around them: condemning it (ineffective unless we offer an alternative), critiquing it (with no lasting influence unless something new is created), copying it (such "Christian" films with limited distribution and influence) and consuming it (or not consuming it, as in boycotts that seldom have the intended impact). Creativity, Crouch maintains, is the only source of change in culture, the only way we can have the impact we want.
In writing about changing the culture, Crouch is not referring to a kind of grandiose scheme to take the world for Jesus. Instead, he sees a "great irony" in our obsession with becoming world changers: "The rise of interest in cultural transformation has been accompanied by a rise in cultural transformation of a different sort --- the transformation of the church into the culture's image. …Changing the world is the one thing we cannot do. As it turns out, fully embracing this paradoxical reality is at the very heart of what it means to be a Christian culture maker." What we can do, he writes, is change the culture on a smaller scale, at a particular time and place.
In fact, Crouch maintains that all cultural change --- whether it's a new recipe for an omelet or a new law that is enacted or a new word that enters our common lexicon --- begins not with an impressive presentation before thousands but with a small group of, say, three people. And that's where our potential as culture makers lies: with a small circle of grace-filled people who will partner with us to discern and encourage each other's dreams, gifts and creativity, in a spirit of holy humility.
CULTURE MAKING will easily resonate with three groups of readers in particular: those who have a passion for impacting the culture, those who feel so insignificant that they don't see how they could possibly "make" culture, and those who appreciate both meaty content and wonderful writing. Consider this: "There is a grace-filled power loose in the world that far outstrips our greatest human ambitions and can quiet our deepest human fears. We enter into the work of cultural creativity…as participants in the story of new creation that comes just when our power seems to have been extinguished. Culture making becomes…the astonished and grateful response of people who have been rescued from the worst that culture and nature can do." Substantial content, beautifully expressed.
Highly recommended.

I like a good few of you encountered this annoyance after upgrading/installing the latest version of Zonealarm and for the last 2 days I been trying to figure it out and had tried all manners of things from the Disabling/Renabling of ZA to going into the Services Control and Stopping then Restarting etc.. Nothing worked until I found this and I am pleased to say this had done the job for me and I have even restarted my PC to which I am happy to say no alert and even SC itself is telling me that ZA is working as it should be.
This may or may not work for you but hey it's worth a try if you've done everything else!
I am running Windows XP SP2 32bit
All you have to do is follow the instructions detailed under Resolution for Method 2 at the page below:
Once you've done this and Security Centre is showing you the warning that One or more Firewalls is running, shutdown ZA and then start it up again via Start > All Programs > Zonelabs .... etc and ZA should automatically disable Windows Firewall and the status of SC will update to reflect this.
Like I said this worked for me so it may or not work for you.
Hope it helps at least some of you.
Kind Regards.

Despite being short one rider, the Netherlands were the only team to ride clean through both rounds in claiming the $350,000 BMO Nations Cup at the Spruce Meadows Masters yesterday.
On a day when a record 67,879 fans hit the park, the Dutch team won the event for the first time in 12 years.
The first to go for the Netherlands, Angelique Hoorn's horse Blauwendraad's O'Brien landed awkwardly after clearing the No. 5 double jump -- straining a superficial flexor tendon and putting the mount out of the competition.
The horse was splinted on the course and taken to the Spruce Meadows clinic under the care of resident veterinarian Dr. Dan French.
"With a tendon they like to wait to see how it responds after a little bit of time," said Ian Allison, vice-president of media services.
"It's in ice and immobilized. It's resting comfortably in the clinic."
Hoorn was not injured and immediately jumped off her horse when she saw it was favouring its front right leg.
Being shorthanded meant the Dutch had to simply bear down and focus a little more, said team member Albert Zoer.
"With only three riders left, we know we all had to do good," he said. "I think the pressure was good for the three of us to ride the course and all our horses jumped really great."
The Leopoldo Palacios-designed course was a tough one, as there were only a handful of double-clear rounds and more than one spectacular tumble, the biggest being when Germany's Meredith Michaels Beerbaum was thrown from Checkmate 4 after it clipped the final fence, landing heavily on her side.
"I spoke with the German chef d'equipe and Meredith and (her husband) Markus had been to the clinic here at Spruce Meadows and gone back to the stables and have gone for further examination to see a doctor in Calgary," said Allison.
"He had not heard anything more."
The U.S. finished second with 12 faults, followed by Mexico with 14.
After getting off to a slow start, Canada finished tied with Switzerland for fourth at 18 faults and Germany was sixth at 21 faults.
The BMO Triple was clearly the toughest jump on the course, said Canada's Eric Lamaze, one of only four riders to go clear in both rounds.
"The time allowed (82 seconds) was short as usual," he said. "You're coming off the triple bar and then it was a short eight strides to the double vertical with the stripe and the horses don't get a great read on it so it was quite difficult at the end of the course."

Mead made speedily
Lost Cause Meadery noteworthy for reduced fermentation period
Ian Anderson 4 p.m., Nov. 19
With the recently announced closing of UltraStar Cinemas' Flower Hill four-plex in Del Mar, North County residents between south Carlsbad and Carmel Valley will be without a multiplex movie theater. The Flower Hill theater will close in July and be replaced by a Whole Foods grocery store.
Earlier this month, the UltraStar chain closed its Carlsbad six-plex in La Costa and announced it will not reopen the Del Mar Highlands eight-screen, which was participating in a multimillion-dollar makeover of the Highlands shopping center on the corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real in Carmel Valley.
The closings of the three multiplexes amount to one third of the theater chain's San Diego County locations. UltraStar claims they are closing their chain's underperforming screens mainly because of the end of long-term leases assumed from the bankrupt Edwards Cinema in the late 1990s, a time that saw failed rapid expansion followed by financial reorganization by big chains.
Others in the industry claim high ticket prices have led to the theaters' demise. At $13 a ticket for a 3-D movie, many believe that a movie night out has been made unaffordable for most families.
Along the coast, the iconic La Paloma Theatre in downtown Encinitas remains. In the same week UltraStar announced the closings, the 1920s-built single-screen La Paloma premiered Soul Surfer — a first-run film that normally would have opened at the multiplexes.
The closure of the Flower Hill facility is understandable. It is small and there's likely going to be greater profit for the mall in having a "Whole Paycheck" store in there. Having Ultra-Star pull the plug on both the Dal Mar Highlands complex and the La Costa six-plex is harder to understand. Those are both in affluent areas where high ticket prices should not be a real barrier to attendance. Neither is very old either. The La Costa complex isn't even twenty years old. One or the other of those two should have remained viable with closing of the other two. Where those coastal moviegoers will go now is not clear. Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido?

From fairy dust to powdered arsenic donuts!
Lifetime's highly anticipated Flowers in the Attic sequel, Petals in the Wind, has officially found Kiernan Shipka's replacement: Rose McIver!
The Australian actress, best known for her work as Tinker Bell on ABC's Once Upon a Time, will take over the role of Cathy Dollanganger for the Mad Men star, E! News has confirmed.
So why the casting shakeup? The sequel is set 10 years after the events of the first film.
Lifetime's adaptation of V.C. Andrews' 1979 novel was the network's most-watched original movie since 2012, locking in 6.1 million viewers.
Set to reprise their roles from the first film? Ellen Burstyn as Olivia, the most religious grandmother ever ("Remember, God sees everything!"), and Heather Graham as Corinne, the worst mother ever. (She poisoned her own children! After keeping them locked in an attic for years!)
Mason Dye, who played Cathy's brother-lover Christopher, will not return for the sequel; the role has yet to be recast.
Screenwriter Kayla Alpert describes the sequel, which is set to begin production soon, as "a very juicy and compelling revenge drama."
The Hollywood Reporter first reported the news of McIver's casting.

American Blogger: The Most Important Film in the History of Cinema, Ever
It could, potentially, change the world. Just ask the director.
Chris Wiegand of Dallas is a visionary filmmaker. Don't take my word for it. Take his word for it. The trailer he posted recently for his new project, American Blogger, describes the deep spiritual apotheosis one will experience upon watching this "beautifully filmed and artistically crafted" cinematic experience.
Inspired by the blog of his own attractive blonde wife Casey, Chris drove across this great nation of ours, fighting for freedom and meeting with other beautiful female wordsmiths — mavens of fashion, style, and interior design. They're part of a movement that could, potentially, change our world. Good-looking women will no longer have to put up with being ignored. At long last they have a means for commanding the attention that they deserve but have never received often enough.
Assisted only by his trusty, fashionably ratty ball cap, Wiegand will tell their stories. As his wife Casey has noted following the unprecedented response to his work, Chris has always been "a dreamer and a storyteller." And now he's put his unrivaled talents to use to seek the answer to an ages-old question that has too-long alluded man: what the hell is a blog anyway?
Already, Wiegand's work has spurred others to follow in his footsteps.

text: Don't let the Juggalos on his MySpace fool you-- the information-scarce Liquid Days, a.k.a. Brooklyn producer "Michael C." makes droney, melancholic shoegaze. "Circles" is one of the few tracks to his name-- and the only one to feature his vocals as well, along with a skipping drum machine beat and tangled guitar lines that are more than a little reminiscent of the Jesus and Mary Chain.
