26 comments:
Perfect book!Love ur blog so much.Love PARIS and everything about it...:)ReplyDelete
It's true, my gardening gear is not chic but practique. I need to up the quotient of chic. However, it's the Brits who have a lock on garden chic. Or do they? Any chic French gardeners?ReplyDelete
R U KIDDING!ReplyDelete
The FRENCH are mad for their gardens!
How much you forget cherie...
Is there a French person on the planet who is not going to be CHIC(actually du classe is the preferred expression) in their jardin?
Bien sur!
- Tim10:29 AM
Though only a short timer on fabulous PB I want you to know it brightens my day when it appears early in the morning. I am an early riser and a smile always crosses my face when viewing the photos and impish commentary. Also, your pictures trigger severe sweet tooth convulsions.ReplyDelete
Fun post, Carol--I remember that skirt. Pretty.ReplyDelete
Because of your recommendation, I did buy Ines' book - in English. It should arrive today from amazon.com and I can't wait to delve into it! While I'm at it, I'll pre-order Bear's book...ReplyDelete
Ines' comment about being recognized made me remember playing my harp at an event Saturday. An older man came up to me mid-song and asked if I had ever heard of Amy Kortuem, the harpist. I said I had and smiled at him. He still didn't get it was me! So I said, "I hear she's exceptional - a real artist." And he agreed and walked away, STILL not getting that I was Amy Kortuem! ha!
I got my copy last night and cannot wait to sit down with a grand creme and peruse every page....then I shall do a 'what not to wear' routine on my closet and go shopping ;)ReplyDelete
I tried to order Ines's book on Amazon.com, but it looks like it will only ship at the end of May! I was so bummed out, though I guess that's what I get for not pre-ordering it.ReplyDelete
- Brittany3:44 PM
I love your blog!ReplyDelete
I will be visiting Paris for 2 weeks in May. I've spent a lot of time researching what to wear, but cannot find anything on what to wear in Spring.
Do they wear tall black leather boots in Spring? I'd like to pack lightly but still want to be able to mix and match and be fashionable :)
Thanks for any input
I'm sorry you feel that way Mimi..ReplyDelete
Most of the restaurants she mentions are are quite casual and fun - not the serious 3-star $$$ places
But if you're going to write a guide to Paris you have to include food and restaurants don't you think?
Everyone worries too much about what to take to Paris.ReplyDelete
But it's so much better to travel light and wait and see what THEY are wearing when you get there.
You can find trendy things at all price points in my opinion if you look in Zara, H&M,Mango..
Then you can bring home something special and not worry so much before hand.
That's what I do Brittany
As a teenager in the late 80's, Inès was on the cover of every other Vogue; her face will always be that of THE Parisienne: timelessly classy, effortlessly chic. Nice tribute! (Yours, and that of Galeries Lafayette!)ReplyDelete
I bought the book while in France last Christmas. I absolutely love it and the fact that it truly points out the little details about French style that make it so special.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4:43 AM
I live in Los Angeles and would like to get a copy of PARISIAN CHIC. Where do you think I can get it??ReplyDelete
JUST CLICK on the linkDelete
AMAZON has it!!!

China's trade surplus ballooned to its biggest in 45 months in October as export growth darted to a five-month high above 11 percent, surpassing expectations and adding to other data that suggest a less urgent need for new economic stimulus measures.
The figures provided further signs for the country's top policymakers meeting in Beijing to anoint new leaders for the coming decade that a long slide in economic growth may be over.
Continue Reading Below
Still, the trade figures don't point to a swift recovery either.
Analysts said exports may have been amplified by a weak year-earlier month and one-off orders from customers for Christmas.
China Commerce Minister Chen Deming was also wary about reading too much into the figures, saying on Saturday that while exports suggested the world's No. 2 economy is stabilizing, global demand would remain anemic next year.
"I think the October export rebound is mainly due to the delivery of orders for Christmas season," said Wang Han, an analyst at Industrial Securities in Shanghai.
"I would stay cautious about the export outlook in the coming months as demand from the United States and European countries has not fully recovered."
China customs data showed exports climbed in October by 11.6 percent from a year earlier, the fastest pace since May and beating expectations for a 9 percent rise.
Imports were more lethargic, growing 2.4 percent, in line with September but below forecasts for a 3.1 percent rise.
Reflecting the mixed picture, the data showed exports growth to the United States picked up in October from September. Exports to the European Union fell from a year earlier for the fifth month running but the slide was the smallest since June.
Imports from Australia, China's biggest supplier of raw materials, fell 21.8 percent, the deepest fall since January 2009. The value of the imports was the lowest since February 2011.
Analysts said iron ore and coal purchases from Australia may have been dented by a week-long Chinese holiday in October, but the data underscored worries the trade outlook is uncertain at best.
"Looking into November and December and considering the volatility in U.S. and European markets, as well as the recovery in domestic investment, we feel export growth will pull back," said Chen Hetian, an analyst at Rising Securities in Beijing.
Brisk export sales alongside flagging import shipments are both a political and economic problem for China.
Beijing wants domestic consumption to replace exports and investment as the key driver of growth. At the same time, China's major trade partners want it to import more to help right global economic imbalances.
Beijing has made good headway in cutting China's current account surplus to 2.6 percent of gross domestic product this year from 10.6 percent in 2007 and under a 4 percent bar deemed by Washington to be appropriate.
But the jump in October's trade surplus to $32 billion, the largest since January 2009 and well above forecasts for $26.9 billion, showed China still risks having exports driving too much of its growth.
Chen had flagged the trade figures on Friday, telling reporters on the sidelines of China's Communist Party congress that exports rose more than 11 percent and imports grew by 2.8 percent.
However, he also said it would be difficult for China to hit a 2012 target to grow total trade by 10 percent, a line he reiterated on Saturday.
"January through October export growth was over 6 percent, so it will be very difficult to meet our target, but we will still try," Chen said at a press briefing.
"The outlook for the next few months is relatively serious and the difficulties will extend into next year."
This year's weakening demand for China's exports was reflected in the just-concluded Canton Fair, China's largest biannual trade exhibition, where total transactions this autumn season dropped 9.3 percent from a year earlier.
Still, other Chinese economic data suggest the worst may be over, even if a sharp rebound is not at hand. Two factory purchasing managers' reports last week showed a contraction in new orders eased in October.
Figures on Friday, including industrial production and investment, suggested the economy was picking up after growth fell for seven straight quarters through the third quarter.
Despite efforts to rebalance the economy towards domestic consumption, exports generated 31 percent of gross domestic product in 2011, World Bank data shows, and supported an estimated 200 million jobs.
To steady the economy, Beijing has tried to help exporters and importers by speeding up payments of tax rebates, cutting red tape, and giving exporters more access to bank loans.
More broadly, it has also cut interest rates twice this year and lowered banks' reserve requirements twice. But as the economy pulls out of its downturn, economists expect Beijing to stand pat on policy for now.

Meteorites found in Calif. along path of fireball
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Robert Ward has been hunting and collecting meteorites for more than 20 years, so he knew he'd found something special in the Sierra foothills along the path of a flaming fireball that shook parts of Northern California and Nevada with a sonic boom over the weekend.
And scientists have confirmed his suspicions: it's one of the more primitive types of space rocks out there, dating to the early formation of the solar system 4 to 5 billion years ago.
"It was just, needless to say, a thrilling moment," Ward of Prescott, Ariz., told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday as he walked through an old cemetery in search of more meteorites about 35 miles northeast of Sacramento.
He found the first piece on Tuesday along a road between a baseball field and park on the edge of Lotus near Coloma, where James W. Marshall first discovered gold in California, at Sutter's Mill in 1848.
Ward, who has found meteorites in every continent but Antarctica and goes by "AstroBob" on his website, said he "instantly knew" it was a rare meteorite known as "CM" — carbonaceous chondrite — based in part on the "fusion crusts from atmospheric entry" on one side of the rock.
"It is one of the oldest things known to man and one of the rarest types of meteorites there is," he said. "It contains amino acids and organic compounds that are extremely important to science."
Ward actually has two rocks but suspects they were part of the same small meteorite that broke on impact. Each weighs about 10 grams — about the same as two nickels. He said his only previous finds that rival this one were three lunar meteorites he found years ago in the Middle East.
Experts say the flaming meteor was probably about the size of a minivan when it entered the Earth's atmosphere with a loud boom and about one-third of the explosive force of the atomic bomb. It was seen from Sacramento, Calif., to Las Vegas and parts of northern Nevada.
An event of that size might happen once a year around the world, said Don Yeomans of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "But most of them occur over the ocean or an uninhabited area, he said.
"Getting to see one is something special," he said. He added, "most meteors you see in the night's sky are the size of tiny stones or even grains of sand, and their trail lasts all of a second or two."
The meteor probably weighed about 154,300 pounds, said Bill Cooke, a specialist in meteors at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. At the time of disintegration, he said, it probably released energy equivalent to a 5-kiloton explosion — the Hiroshima bomb was 15 kilotons.
"You don't often have kiloton rocks flying over your head," he said.
The boom, another expert said, was caused by the speed with which the space rock entered the atmosphere. Meteorites enter Earth's upper atmosphere at somewhere between 22,000 mph and 44,000 mph — faster than the speed of sound, thus creating a sonic boom.
The friction between the rock and the air is so intense that "it doesn't even burn it up, it vaporizes," said Tim Spahr, director of the Minor Planet Center at Harvard University.
John T. Wasson, a longtime professor and expert in meteorites at UCLA's Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, said he understood that in addition to Lotus, another small meteorite had been in nearby Coloma,
Bits of the meteor could be strewn over an area as long as 10 miles, most likely stretching west from Coloma, he said.
"I'm sure more will be found, I'm hoping, including some fairly big pieces," Wasson said. "The fact that two pieces already have been found means one knows where to look."

The former royal palace of Tirtagangga (which means water of the Ganges, Hinduism's holy river) features tiered fountains, gardens, and stone sculptures of mythical creatures spouting water into bathing pools. Just outside the palace grounds, the views of the lush rice paddies of northeastern Bali are stunning.
A very active temple built around a bubbling spring, Pura Tirta Empul is an interesting place to observe Hindu devotees purifying themselves by means of ritual bathing. It is especially recommended to visit on a full moon day, which has special significance in the local religion.
Tenganan is an ancient Balinese village that dates back to the island's pre-Hindu culture; its layout and architecture are unique. Its many shops feature some unique crafts, including prized, labor-intensive ikat fabrics.
This East Bali beach town is known for excellent SCUBA diving and snorkeling. New hotels are springing up on this coast, especially in Candidasa, a scenic 40-minute drive to its south. Amed is also a great place to admire Bali's colorful outrigger boats.
Hikers will enjoy climbing this volcano, and the rewards of the views into the crater and of the crystal clear waters of Lake Batur. (Note: visibility may be limited during the rainy season, Dec.-March.)

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) When the New York Giants visited the White House in June in the heart of the political campaign, coach Tom Coughlin said the Super Bowl champions shared a goal with President Barack Obama - repeating.
Obama did his part Tuesday, defeating Mitt Romney to claim a second-term.
Coughlin was initially reluctant to comment on the result Wednesday.
``Here we go,'' Coughlin said. ``I'm not a politician.''
Just as quickly, though, he responded.
``He's there. We need to get there,'' the smiling coach said.
After Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon noted Obama completed half the equation, Coughlin walked out of a news conference to preview the game between the Giants (6-3) and Bengals (3-5) Sunday saying:
``He didn't call me right away by the way,'' Coughlin joked.

UAlbany Officially Breaks Ground On New Track And Field Facility
ALBANY, N.Y. -- On the ever-improving campus of the University at Albany Wednesday, the Great Danes officially broke ground on a brand new track and field venue that will allow the UAlbany Track and Field teams to host meets in the 2014 season.
"This is a very special day," said Vice President of Athletic Administration and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Lee McElroy. "The groundbreaking represents many things. It represents a commitment -- a commitment to excellence, tradition, team spirit, character, and engagement on the part of alumni and friends of the University."
The new track and field venue will have a 9-lane IAAF certified track. The surface will be the Olympic-caliber Beynon BSS 2000 that features a force reduction layer of butyl rubber and full-depth color Polyurethane. Other top track and field venues that have this surface include the University of Oregon's Hayward Field and multiple national track and field champion Texas A & M. There will be a natural turf infield that will include a throws area as well as an irrigation system. The project also includes a separate hammer throw area adjacent to the venue.
"It is going to help improve performance. We're going to get quality workouts in on this facility," said Director of Track and Field/Cross Country Roberto Vives, who is in his 28th season at UAlbany.
"We can host some major championships, which will bring a lot of excitement around track and field," added Vives. "And it's also going to help us on the recruiting front having a facility that recruits can look at and say 'Wow, that's a first class facility.'"
The venue, which will be used strictly for track and field activities, is the final part of UAlbany's three-phase project. The first stage was the construction of the new multi-sport complex that will be home to the Great Dane football and soccer programs in the fall of 2013. The second phase was the creation of a synthetic turf field designed for year-round recreational, intramural and club sport activities, which is already in use on the south side of Dutch Quad.
With the leadership of Vives, the UAlbany track and field/cross country programs have won 31 America East and three IC4A Championships since 2003, including a sweep of the men's and women's indoor and outdoor America East championships this year.
"We have been a road team and have won numerous championships out on the road, so to have the opportunity to compete at home in front of roommates, fans, and family is going to be tremendous for our student-athletes," said Vives.
The Great Danes will look to add to their collection of hardware this weekend when they compete at the ECAC and IC4A Championships on the campus of Princeton University.

It's not fancy. It offers no tabloid magazines, lipstick, candy or sweatshirts for sale, but that's the point. The services being offered at the Prescription Assistance Network of Stark County matter much more than the ambiance.
It's not fancy. It offers no tabloid magazines, lipstick, candy or sweatshirts for sale, but that's the point.
The services being offered at the Prescription Assistance Network of Stark County matter much more than the ambiance. Located in the McKinley Avenue NW entrance of Goodwill Industries' Community Campus at 408 Ninth St. SW, PAN Stark County is a charitable pharmacy that provides low-cost prescription medications to those in need.
Opened in December of 2009, it is one of just three charitable pharmacies in Ohio, and has filled more than 4,000 prescriptions.
"The demand is just so high," said Carol Risaliti, the pharmacy's executive director. "As each month goes by, more people know about us."
The PAN Stark County serves people who are uninsured, or who lack prescription coverage, or those living 250 percent below the federal poverty guideline ($28,725, one-person household).
This year, more than 8,000 people have used the service.
Risaliti said the pharmacy, whose annual budget is $400,000, has contracted with such pharmaceutical firms as Merck, Pfizer, Novartis, and others, for donations of medicine valued at $2.4 million a year.
It also carries low-cost generic medicines.
Kathy Cather, managing pharmacist, said she believes PAN Stark County has had a huge impact on the community.
"Practically every day, patients tell us that if we weren't here, they wouldn't be getting their medications," she said.
Currently, the pharmacy fills about 150 prescriptions daily, and once a person is qualifies, prescriptions can be accepted from any physician.
"It's one of the things that set us apart as a charitable pharmacy," Risaliti said. "At a clinic, they can only fill prescriptions for their own patients. This is a real advantage."
Verna Paschal, a part-time pharmacist on staff since June, said PAN offers her a positive change of pace.
"Here, you get to talk to clients and counsel them better, whereas in retail, you're in a rush; there are hundreds of prescriptions to fill," she said. " You get to talk to them about changes in their medications."
"We sit down with every new patient," Cather said, adding that the most common medications are for diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. No pain medications with opiates are prescribed.
Paschal said the staff has developed relationships with many of the clients.
"They're very patient," she said. "If you tell them there's a 30- or-40-minute wait, they're OK."
Risaliti said no formal referrals are required to be a PAN client, as long as the criteria are met. However, everyone must schedule a screening interview. After one year, cases are reviewed.
The Prescription Assistance Network partners with NEOMED, the medical school in Rootstown, where Cather is an adjunct professor.
Each semester, from May through December, about 30 pharmacology students from NEOMED work 40-hour weeks on one-month rotations alongside the seven-person staff at PAN.
The students have a pharmacy-intern license, which enables them to fill prescriptions, and also undergo training in pharmacy management by way of overseeing younger students.
"Students are a lot of my workforce, my worker bees," Cather said with a smile. "We're very sad when they leave."
"They're very refreshing," Paschal said. "The bring in new stuff. I'm speaking as an old-school pharmacist."
Risaliti said the arrangement not only allows the students to get practical training in a real pharmacy, it also enables Cather and Paschal to spend more time with clients.
"When people's health improves, we notice that," Risaliti said. "It's very rewarding."
No one enrolled at the pharmacy is denied service because of an inability to pay. The cost for a prescription at the Prescription Assistance Network is $2 for one; $4 for two, and $5 for three or more.
"Rather than 'fee,' we say 'donation,'" Risaliti said. "For people who are homeless or unemployed, we don't push it. But 60 to 70 percent are able to pay something. We don't push it, but they want to. We want this to be very user-friendly and take away any barrier for getting medication. One is money."
Risaliti said some people give a donation over-and-above their cost in a bid to "pay it forward."
Risaliti said the idea for a Prescription Assistance Network goes back to 2002, when the Austin Bailey Health and Wellness and Sisters of Charity foundations were fielding increasing requests from their partner agencies for medication. An initial proposal was made to partner with retail pharmacies. A series of subsequent meetings resulted in the formation of a new, independent agency.
However, no state law was in place that allowed charitable pharmacies until 2006.
Since PAN Stark County opened, it has received more than $14 million in medication donations. Risaliti said PAN Stark County has been strongly supported by local foundations, including the Health Foundation of Greater Massillon, as well as grants from the Health Resource Service Foundation, which helped underwrite the opening of the facility at Goodwill.
Risaliti said the pharmacy also receives donations of unused medications from local nursing homes.
"We also work with all the hospitals," she said. "The client is the big winner in all of this."
Asked how the Affordable Care Act may affect PAN Stark County, Risaliti said she isn't yet sure.
"I don't know if it will impact us in the sense that we'll lose clients," she said. "So many are transient."
Compounding the issue, Risaliti said, is that many of the clients served by PAN Stark County don't have access to computers to sign up for coverage, though some may qualify for Medicaid, the state-level medical program that recently was expanded by Gov. John Kasich to cover 275,000 more people.
"The majority we're seeing is not part of the Medicaid population, but don't have the income to pay for insurance," Risaliti said. "I hope many people will be able to access health care, but there's going to be a lot of confusion, much like Part D in Medicare," she said.
Risaliti said the intention of the Affordable Care Act is good, but added that she wouldn't be surprised to see more underinsured people who don't have "consumable dollars" to cover prescriptions.

5 Ways Microsoft Can Get Back on Track in 2013: Break Up the Company
To build a better brand, Microsoft may need to cut some products loose.
Editor's note: This is Part 2 of a 5-part series that will be published over the course of this week. Stay tuned!
Selling off its properties may seem like a step backward at first, but if handled correctly it would allow Microsoft to make a sizable gain, while helping it reposition its best products. Quite frankly, it seems that Microsoft is fighting battles all over the tech industry and is losing in every hemisphere. It faces off against Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) in devices, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) in search engines, and even Yahoo (NASDAQ:YHOO) as an Internet portal through MSN. While some of Microsoft's ventures seem to be profitable and very much in line with Microsoft's new dedication to products and services, it often seems as though the company has spread itself too thin to become the king of any one market.
For starters, all of its major online services need to go. Bing, Internet Explorer, we're looking at you. According to the company's latest 10-K, Microsoft's online services division (or OSD) incurred over $8.1 billion in operating losses, but only managed to generate $2.8 billion in revenues. The company maintains that $6.2 billion of this loss refers to a goodwill impairment charge, which reflects the depreciation of its brands. The products of its OSD department are now valued at a mere $223 million, reflecting a large attrition of consumer respect.
Looking at the numbers, it makes perfect sense. Microsoft poured money into marketing campaigns to renew interest in Bing and Internet Explorer, but neither are gaining ground against their chief competitors. Despite the Bing it On campaign, Google still maintains a whopping 88% global market share as a search engine against Bing's pathetic 4.2%. According to Stat Counter, Google is also ahead of Internet Explorer in search engine usage 35.72% to 31.23%, and is increasing its lead on a monthly basis.
The online services division may be the only department that might need to get the ax all together, but it's likely there are some more Microsoft products that aren't pulling their weight. By selling off its less than essential properties, Microsoft will be able to repurpose its resources and energy into strengthening its devices, and rebuild its brand into something consumers could be proud of. Although having a vast empire has been profitable in the past, for the moment perhaps less is more.

1. Re: Seam & DelegationLeo van den berg Apr 5, 2011 3:33 AM (in response to J B)
I would be happy to help, you, but I would recommend that you first get a basic idea on the workings of Seam before you start
playing and/or hacking.
The Seam component EntityQuery has excellent - built-in - support for pagination, so under normal circumstances there is no need whatsoever to build such functionality yourself. Seam MUST handle the management of components, so at the moment you create with new, or with a factory method, Seam doesn't handle such instance, so in- and outjecting won't work.
- Get the full doc and examples of Seam
- buy the Seam in Action book.
2. Re: Seam & DelegationJ B Apr 5, 2011 8:10 AM (in response to J B)
Hi Leo,
Im more interested in the interaction of the components between each other. Dont get hung up by the fact that it is pagination im more interested in how the call back works or would work in seam.
I realise from your comments (Thanks) that this wont work
@Out private PagingHandler pagingHandler = PagingHandler.getInstance(this);
As you said seam must manage the components to it should possibly look like something like this
@In @Out private PagingHandler pagingHandler ;
What im stuck on is how the injection of the pagingListener in PagingHandler from seam would work?? I dont see it in the docs.
Is the above even possible in seam??
3. Re: Seam & DelegationLeo van den berg Apr 5, 2011 8:19 AM (in response to J B)
you can create components statically in Seam more or less like Spring does. You define a component in componenst.xml and provides its name and the class it should use and (optionally) a scope. Instance variables can be set as tags inside the component tag.
If you want Seam to handle the creation with annotations, you need the In-annotation with the attribute create
, which takes care of creating an instance. You can also put an AutoCreate annotation on a component.

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
Chicken with Figs, Wine & Honey
- Jenny
Often, it is the interplay of two ingredients (or, for the more adventurous cooks, a ménage-à-trois) that makes a dish a success. Sometimes, it is just the purity and freshness of the main component. But once in a while, it's the funny one-off addition that sends what would otherwise be a serviceable weeknight dinner into the land of sublimity.
I decided to make Chicken with Figs, Wine & Honey by eatboutique for the simple reason that someone brought me a lovely jar of their canned figs as a hostess gift recently, and they looked so gorgeous floating around in their amber liquid, I could not be stopped.
Of course, my inherent laziness caused me to immediately knee cap this recipe somewhat; I began to pound my weekly portion of chicken into the quarter-inch thickness as instructed, but then for some reason stopped. Maybe my arm got tired, maybe the dog was peeing on the floor and the rest of the members of my house mysteriously scattered to check the Idol results at that very moment. Maybe I decided to open a bottle of wine. Things happen. Chicken remained pudgy.
So, following the pan sauté, I moved on to my figs (whose jar was not marked so I can't tell you if they were mission or not but I would not get caught up in labels, just use figs you like) for the five minute portion of the meal, at which point my house began to smell like a nice little road side French restaurant. Or something like that. (I should note that I tucked my under-pounded chicken into a 325-degree oven for a few minutes while I made my sauce, something you won't have to do if you follow the recipe as written.)
In about 30 minutes, this dinner was on a nicely set table, at which point, my husband, in a move uncannily similar to eatboutique's, began kvelling. (Look it up, non-Jews I believe say, "exclaimed with joy.") The underlying dish is as simple as can be, but the fig lends such a distinct sweet kick, underscored with the wine, that it kicks the whole thing up into special dinner terrain.
"Is this, what do you call it, a braise or something?" he asked, purring a little as he took the next bite. I explained it was a more of a pan sauce. "Well this is about the most delicious thing I have ever tasted. Please make it again soon."
Figs. Who knew?
Serves 1
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 pinches kosher salt
- 2 pinches freshly ground black pepper
- 1 chicken breast, pounded to 1/4" thickness
- 5 black mission figs, sliced in half
- 1/2 cup light red wine
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick saute pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken breast. Ask a question about this step.
- Saute the chicken 4-5 minutes on either side until cooked through with a nice gold hue. Set chicken on plate to rest while you prepare the figs. Ask a question about this step.
- In the same saute pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Place the figs in the pan, cut side down. Saute for 3-4 minutes, turning the figs occasionally, until slightly golden. Ask a question about this step.
- Add the red wine, being careful to avoid splatters, as well as pinches of salt and black pepper, and honey. Quickly cook for 2-3 minutes until the red wine reduces into a loose syrup. Ask a question about this step.
- Spoon the figs and red wine reduction over the chicken and serve immediately.

The Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the New Haven firefighters in the Ricci case by a vote of 5-4. This was the discrimination case brought by white firefighters (and one Hispanic) who were denied promotion despite being at the top of the list on the test used by the City, because blacks didn't do well enough on the test to be promoted.
Judge Sotomayor had blessed the actions of the City that the Court struck down today. She did so, moreover, in an opinion that devoted only one paragraph to the merits of the case.
According to Scotusblog, the decision is based on a holding that the City of New Haven cannot be sued for disparate-impact liability. The City had relied on its alleged fear that African-Americans would sue for discrimination if it made promotions based on a test that African-American candidates did not do well enough on. The majority rejected this excuse for racial discrimination on the facts of the case:
We hold only that, under Title VII, before an employer can engage in intentional discrimination for the asserted purpose of avoiding or remedying an unintentional disparate impact, the employer must have a strong basis inevidence to believe it will be subject to disparate-impact liability if it fails to take the race-conscious, discriminatory action….
[T]he record makes clear there is no support for the conclusion that respondents had an objective, strong basis in evidence to find the tests inadequate, with some consequent disparate-impact liability in violation of Title VII.
The opinion is by Justice Kennedy, with Justice Scalia filing a concurring opinion and Justice Alito filing one as well, in which Justices Scalia and Thomas joined. So it may be that the Court did not go as far as perhaps it should have; we'll see.
But this much is clear: the Court devoted 93 pages to a matter that Judge Sotomayor tried to dispose of in a summary order. Moreover, according to Ed Whelan, not a single Justice thought that Judge Sotomayor acted correctly in granting [correction: affirming the grant of] summary judgment for the City of New Haven. [Note: Ed has clarified his post to say that "Ginsburg and the three Justices who joined in her opinion "believe[] that Sotomayor and the other judges below applied the wrong standard."]
UPDATE: I've read the concurring opinions of Justice Scalia and Justice Alito. They do not express any dissatisfaction with Justice Kennedy's majority opinion, in which both Justices "join in full."
Justice Scalia, in his words, "write[s] separately to observe that [the Court's] resolution of this dispute merely postpones the evil day on which the Court will have to confront the question: Whether, or to what extent, are the disparate-impact provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 cnossitent with the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection?" Justice Scalia makes it clear that this question, which "is not an easy one," was properly not reached in the Ricci.
Justice Alito's concurrence is dedicated to taking on aspects of Justice Ginsburg dissenting opinion. Here's how Alito ends his opinion:
Petitioners were denied promotions for which they qualified because of the race and ethnicity of the firefighters who achieved the highest scores on the City's exam. The District Court threw out their case on summary judgment, even though that court all but conceded that a jury could find that the City's asserted justification was pretextual. The Court of Appeals then summarily affirmed that decision.
The dissent grants that petitioners' situation is "unfortunate" and that they "understandably attract this Court's sympathy." But "sympathy" is not what petitioners have a right to demand. What they have a right to demand is evenhanded enforcement of the law–of Title VII's prohibition against discrimination based on race. And that is what, until today's decision, has been denied them.
(emphasis added)

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. - A heroin dealer from Tarrytown whose sales allegedly contributed to the overdose death of a White Plains man has been sentenced to nearly a decade in prison.
Anthony "Taco" Delosangeles, formerly of Yorktown, was sentenced to eight years in prison, Joon Kim, the acting United States Attorney for the Southern District announced on Friday. The sentencing comes after Delosangeles pleaded guilty in March to a count of conspiracy to distribute more than 100 grams of heroin.
According to the indictment that was filed in White Plains federal court, Delosangeles and others conspired to sell heroin, and one of his customers, was a 25-year-old Westchester resident who had recently left rehab for his addiction. During a text exchange, Delosangeles allegedly learned that his customer had just left the treatment facility and "bragged to (him) that his heroin was particularly strong."
Delosangeles' victim was found unresponsive in his car later that day with 15 empty baggies that are consistent with bags used to pack heroin. Paramedics attempted to revive him and he remained in a coma for several days before he died. Subsequent autopsy and toxicology reports would determine he had heroin in his system which "substantially" contributed to his death.
Kim said that Delosangeles continued to sell heroin in Westchester following the fatal incident.
Officials noted that Delosangeles has already served 13 months of his sentence and will serve an additional 84 months. He was also sentenced to four years of supervised release and forfeited approximately $30,000 in drug proceeds that were seized during the investigation.
"Anthony Delosangeles sold heroin to a young man he knew had just left a drug rehabilitation program," Kim stated.
"The same day, that young man used the heroin Delosangeles sold him, overdosed, and died. The epidemic of opioid abuse is devastating our communities, costing human lives, and ripping families apart. This Office will aggressively pursue cases against dealers who fuel this deadly epidemic."

ESA Future Missions - Overview
ESA is developing a series of next-generation Earth observation missions, on behalf of the joint ESA/European Commission initiative Copernicus. The goal of the Sentinel program is to replace the current older Earth observation missions which have reached retirement such as the ERS mission or are currently nearing the end of their operational life span, such as the Envisat mission. This will ensure a continuity of data so that there are no gaps in ongoing studies.
Future ESA missions also include the Earth Explorers, which are part of the Living Planet Programme and focus on the study of the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere and the planet's interior. These missions will be launched between 2012 and 2015 and will help to understand our planet's climate.
Candidate Earth Explorers - One of these candidate Core missions will be chosen as ESA's seventh Earth Explorer after the feasability studies are completed and the mission will be launched in 2016.
As part of the Living Planet Programme, Earth Watch furthermore aims at securing an independent sustainable capability in operational Earth Observation for Europe. This capability must satisfy requirements for operational services supporting both institutional needs and commercial initiatives.
ESA Missions in Development
Sentinel-4 is dedicated to air quality monitoring. The Sentinel-4 UVN instrument is a spectrometer carried aboard Meteosat Third Generation satellites, operated by EUMETSAT. The mission aims to provide continuous monitoring of the composition of the Earth's atmosphere at high temporal and spatial resolution and the data will be used to support monitoring and forecasting over Europe.
Sentinel-5 is dedicated to air quality monitoring. The Sentinel-5 UVNS instrument is a spectrometer carried aboard the MetOp Second Generation satellites. The mission aims to provide continuous monitoring of the composition of the Earth's atmosphere. It provides wide-swath, global coverage data to monitor air quality around the world.

Re: Sev's colors blood or paint?
LOL. But wouldn' blood stain into a brownish color once it dried up. I think is just crimson paint in the design of blood, to enhance Sev's already violent nature. Either way it makes no differance sev could wear a plain white Katarn Class battle suit and it would not diminish his epic standing to me.

Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces IMPRESS Trials of XIALFEX® in Peyronie's Disease Were Published Online in The Journal of Urology
Feb 01, 2013, 04:00 EST
CHESTERBROOK, Pa., Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ :AUXL ), a specialty biopharmaceutical company, today announced that The Journal of Urology has electronically published the uncorrected proof of the Company's pivotal IMPRESS (The Investigation for Maximal Peyronie's Reduction Efficacy and Safety Studies) trials, the phase III studies that assessed XIAFLEX® (collagenase clostridium histolyticum or CCH), a novel, in-office, biologic for the potential treatment of Peyronie's disease (PD) on its website www.jurology.com. The article may be found at http://www.jurology.com/article/S0022-5347(13)00227-9/abstract. The manuscript is currently scheduled to appear in print in the July 2013 print version of The Journal of Urology.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101202/MM10881LOGO )
Auxilium has previously announced positive top line efficacy and safety results of the IMPRESS studies' co-primary endpoints. In IMPRESS I and IMPRESS II at 52 weeks, both co-primary endpoints met statistical significance for mean percent improvement in penile curvature deformity and mean improvement in the PDQ bother domain for XIAFLEX subjects vs. placebo patients. Additionally, XIAFLEX was generally well-tolerated. If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), XIAFLEX is expected to be the first approved biologic indicated for the treatment of PD.
"We believe that XIAFLEX, if approved for the treatment of Peyronie's Disease, has the clinical profile to become a potential breakthrough treatment," said Adrian Adams, Auxilium's Chief Executive Officer and President. "With its current indication in Dupuytren's contracture, positive clinical results in Peyronie's disease, and development ongoing in Frozen Shoulder syndrome and Cellulite, CCH represents a pipeline in a product with potential applications in multiple therapeutic areas that currently have limited treatment options."
Today's publication includes details of the co-primary and secondary families of endpoints. Statistical significance for the co-primary endpoints and two families of secondary endpoints was determined by a multiple comparison algorithm based on gate keeping strategies designed to control the overall family-wise type 1 error rate to be less than or equal to 0.05. In IMPRESS I and II individually, the two co-primary endpoints each required a p-value less than or equal to 0.05, while the algorithm for the first family of secondary endpoints was equivalent to requiring a p-value less than or equal to 0.0167 and the algorithm for the second family required a p-value less than or equal to 0.0042. In both IMPRESS I and II, first family secondary endpoints (improvement from baseline in percentage of global responders, PDQ psychological and physical symptoms, and IIEF (International Index for Erectile Function) overall satisfaction) and second family secondary endpoints (percentage of composite responders, improvement in penile length, plaque consistency, and penile pain) were measured in CCH-treated men compared with placebo.
Secondary Endpoint Results in IMPRESS I:
- Improvement from baseline in percentage of global responders and the percentage of composite responders (Intent to Treat analysis) showed statistical significance vs. placebo.
- Improvement from baseline in the PDQ psychological and physical symptoms and IIEF overall satisfaction, showed trends toward improvement vs. placebo.
Secondary Endpoint Results in IMPRESS II:
- Improvement from baseline in percentage of global responders showed statistical significance vs. placebo.
- Improvement from baseline in PDQ psychological and physical symptoms, IIEF overall satisfaction, percentage of composite responders (Intent to Treat analysis), plaque consistency, and penile length showed trends toward improvement vs. placebo.
A post-hoc meta-analysis of both identical IMPRESS studies' co-primary and secondary endpoints is also presented in the manuscript as each IMPRESS study was not individually powered to meet statistical significance for the secondary endpoints. The meta-analysis was performed to increase the statistical power for evaluation of those secondary endpoints. In the meta-analysis, the algorithm for calculating p-values for the co-primary and first family of secondary endpoints was essentially the same as that observed in the two individual studies.
Post-hoc Meta-Analysis – Combination of Identical IMPRESS I and II Studies:
- Co-primary endpoints maintain statistical significance.
- The following secondary endpoints met statistical significance, compared to placebo, based on the multiple comparison algorithm within the meta-analysis:
- Percentage of global responders
- Improvement in Peyronie's disease physical and psychological symptom domain
- Improvement in IIEF overall satisfaction domain
- Percentage of composite responders (ITT analysis)
- Improvement in penile plaque consistency
- Improvement in penile length and penile pain were not statistically different from placebo.
"The clinical outcomes demonstrated by XIAFLEX in the IMPRESS trials offer great hope and optimism for patients suffering from Peyronie's disease and suggest patients may be successfully treated non-surgically," said Martin K. Gelbard, MD, IMPRESS investigator and clinical faculty member of UCLA School of Medicine, Department of Urology. "Currently, urologists have no clinically proven treatment for Peyronie's disease other than surgical intervention, which often is performed as a last resort due to the potential for complications, including decreased penile length or erectile dysfunction. The potential ability, if FDA approved, to offer an effective in-office medical therapy in XIAFLEX would represent a significant evolution in the standard of care for physicians who treat Peyronie's disease."
Adverse Events
The most common adverse events reported in the double-blind, placebo-controlled IMPRESS phase III trials were hematoma, pain and swelling at the treatment site. These adverse events were comparable to the previous trials: most AEs were mild or moderate in severity and resolved within 14 days.
There were three serious adverse events of corporal rupture (penile fracture) and three serious adverse events of hematomas related to XIAFLEX reported in IMPRESS I and II. All three corporal ruptures resolved following intervention and two of three hematomas resolved with intervention, with the third hematoma resolving without intervention.
Although >98% of patients developed positive AUX I or II antibodies in the IMPRESS studies, there have been no systemic hypersensitivity events reported in the phase III trials or any of the previous XIAFLEX PD clinical studies to date. Including data from all XIAFLEX PD clinical studies, over 7,500 XIAFLEX injections have been administered to more than 1,050 PD patients.
Auxilium is grateful to all the patients, investigators and Auxilium employees who contributed to these trials.
About Peyronie's Disease
PD can be a physically and psychosocially devastating disorder that results in varying degrees of penile curvature deformity, disease bother, sexual dysfunction, emotional distress, loss of self-esteem and depression. PD is the development of collagen plaque, or scar tissue, on the shaft of the penis that may harden and reduce flexibility, thus occasionally causing pain and causing the penis to deform in a bend or arc during erection. In addition to difficulty with sexual intercourse, PD is commonly associated with emotional distress, loss of self-esteem, disease bother and depression. PD is a heterogeneous disease with an initial inflammatory component. This inflammatory phase is poorly understood with a somewhat variable disease course and occasional spontaneous resolutions of not greater than 13%1. After 12-18 months of disease, the disease is reported to often develop into a more chronic, stable phase1. The estimated prevalence of PD in adult men has been reported to be approximately 5%2; however the disease is thought to be underdiagnosed and undertreated1. Based on U.S. historical medical claims data, it is estimated that between 65,000 and 120,000 PD patients are diagnosed every year, but only 5,000 to 6,500 PD patients are treated with injectables or surgery annually3.

About the IMPRESS Clinical Program
Auxilium's late stage global development plan for XIAFLEX consists of four clinical studies and is known by the acronym IMPRESS – The Investigation for Maximal Peyronie's Reduction Efficacy and Safety Studies. There are two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III studies, which enrolled over 800 patients combined at 64 sites in the U.S. and Australia in less than five months, with a 2:1 ratio of XIAFLEX to placebo. There is also one open label study, which enrolled at least 250 patients, at approximately 30 sites in the U.S., EU and New Zealand, and one pharmacokinetic study, which enrolled approximately 20 patients who were then enrolled into the open label study. XIAFLEX was administered two times a week every six weeks for up to four treatment cycles (2 x 4). Each treatment cycle was followed by a penile modeling procedure. Patients were followed for 52 weeks post-first injection in the double-blind studies and will be followed for 36 weeks in the open label and pharmacokinetic trials.
The trials' co-primary endpoints are percent improvement from baseline in penile curvature deformity compared to placebo and the change from baseline (improvement) in the PD bother domain of the PDQ compared to placebo. The PDQ also has two additional domains as secondary endpoints, which include severity of psychological and physical symptoms of PD, and penile pain. Safety measurements include adverse event monitoring and clinical labs. Immunogenicity testing was also performed.
About the IMPRESS PDQ
The PDQ is a 15-question assessment of the impact of PD on a subject using 3 domains: PD bother, psychological and physical symptoms of PD, and penile pain (at screening, week 24, and week 52). The PDQ is a proprietary questionnaire that Auxilium developed with the FDA following its phase IIb PD studies as a valid tool for measuring PD bother.
About XIAFLEX
XIAFLEX (collagenase clostridium histolyticum; CCH) is a biologic approved in the U.S. and the EU for the treatment of adult Dupuytren's contracture (DC) patients with a palpable cord. XIAFLEX is a minimally invasive treatment for this condition and consists of a highly purified combination of two subtypes of collagenase, derived from Clostridium histolyticum, in specific proportion. Together, the collagenase sub-types work synergistically to break the bonds of the triple helix collagen structure more effectively than human collagenase. XIAFLEX is currently in phase III of development for the treatment of Peyronie's Disease (PD). CCH is in phase IIa of development for the treatment of Frozen Shoulder syndrome (adhesive capsulitis) and in phase Ib of development for the treatment of cellulite (edematous fibrosclerotic panniculopathy). XIAFLEX has been granted Orphan status in the U.S. by the FDA for DC and PD.

Extreme makeover: LAX gets dolled up
Los Angeles International Airport gets a lot of flack from global travelers for its aging facilities and challenging infrastructure, earning regular appearances on "world's worst airports" lists.
But that dismal rep might change in 2013, as major upgrades are unveiled at the airport's Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), which is now undergoing a US$1.5 billion upgrade.
LAX officials say more than 60 venues will open in TBIT's Great Hall as part of an $80 million investment to develop its retail and dining program. The upgrades are part of the massive Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) modernization plan.
Built in 1984, TBIT is LAX's main facility serving international travelers.
In addition to retail and dining enhancements, the improved TBIT will have 18 roomier boarding gates. Nine will be built to accommodate new-generation aircraft, such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747-8 jumbos and Boeing's 787 Dreamliner.
Customs, immigration and federal security screening areas will also be upgraded.
The first phase of the TBIT revamp includes the Great Hall and boarding gates on the west side of the terminal. It's scheduled to open in spring 2013, according to airport officials.
The second phase includes new gates on the east side of the terminal, a new federal security screening area and upgraded customs and arrivals area. This portion of the plan is expected to be completed by 2014.
Inside TBIT's Great Hall
Fans of "Top Chef" will be pleased. Restaurants coming to TBIT's Great Hall include season-six winner Michael Voltaggio's ink.sack, as well as Border Grill, from "Top Chef Masters" duo Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken.
Other eateries set to open in TBIT include Umami Burger, LAMill Coffee, gourmet sandwich shop Tavern, 800 Degrees Pizzeria, steakhouse III Forks, sushi eateries Chaya and Lucky Fish by Sushi Roku and the Petrossian Caviar & Champagne Bar.
More on CNN: Insider Guide: Best of Los Angeles
Retail shops to open include Bvlgari, Michael Kors, Emporio Armani, Fred Segal, Kitson, Coach, Porsche Design, Tumi, Victoria's Secret, Hugo Boss and iStore Boutique.
There will also be a 25,000-square-foot DFS duty-free complex, stocked with the usual big name luxury fashion, beauty, watch, wine and spirits brands.
"We're investing in LAX because it isn't just a travel hub, it's the gateway to the Pacific Rim and a central driver of our regional economy," said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa in a statement.
"[Property management group] Westfield's development in the New Tom Bradley International Terminal will showcase L.A.'s distinct style and spirit, keep LAX competitive in the global market, increase international tourism and put Angelenos to work now and for years to come."
LAX is the sixth busiest airport in the world and third busiest in the United States. In 2011, it served more than 61.8 million passengers.
