Well, the boys at Proenza Schouler definitely needed to get a little Chanel fixation out of their systems, judging by this collection. Not that it looks derivative. Quite the opposite, in fact. They've managed to take some of the more iconic elements of Chanel, the tweeds and the short, boxy jackets, and made them look modern by pairing them with neon yellow sheers and vibrant prints. Love the colors going on here, as well as the juxtapositions, like the aforementioned tweed and sheer pairing, the hand-fabrics, and the gorgeous necklaces. They took some old classics and make them look fresh.

text: Cal Athletics Katy Steding Named Head Coach at Boston University Steding hired by Boston after two years in Berkeley By Cal Athletics on Fri, June 06, 2014 Related Links Boston University Release BERKELEY – Katy Steding, who has served on the California coaching staff for the last two seasons, has accepted the head coaching job of the Boston University women's basketball program. Steding will become the seventh coach of the Terriers and takes over for Kelly Greenberg who resigned after 10 seasons in Boston. "Katy is one of the tremendous people in the coaching profession, and Boston University has made a terrific choice in selecting her to lead their Women's Basketball program," California head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "Just as our Cal players have, the young women at BU will benefit from her knowledge, experience, positive demeanor and leadership. We are proud of the contributions she made here in Berkeley, and she will remain a part of the Cal family, as those bonds never go away. We are proud of Katy and my staff and I, as well as our players, will be rooting for the Terriers." Steding, a 1990 NCAA National Champion and an Olympic gold medalist with Team USA in 1996 in Atlanta, recently completed her second season in Berkeley since joining the Golden Bears in May of 2012. During her time at Cal, the Bears posted a combined 54-14 record (.794) and advanced to the NCAA Tournament both years. In 2012-13, Cal set a school record for wins in a season (32-4), won the first Pac-12 title in program history and advanced to the NCAA Final Four. At Cal, Steding worked primarily with the team's post players where she aided in the development of All-American Gennifer Brandon, who two months ago became the second round pick of the WNBA's Chicago Sky and finished her career as California's all-time leading rebounder. Steding came to Cal from right across the bay, having spent two seasons serving as the associate head coach of the San Francisco Dons from 2010-12. Prior to her two year stint at USF, Steding had a decade-long coaching career that included being a head coach at NAIA Warner Pacific College (2001-08), an assistant with the WNBA Atlanta Dream (2008), and an assistant coach at Columbia University. As the head women's basketball coach at Warner Pacific College in her native Oregon, Steding recorded two 20-plus win seasons, leading the Knights to the NAIA Division II National Tournaments in 2004 and 2006. In 2005-06, the Knights won their first ever Cascade Collegiate Conference title with a 22-9 record, as Steding was named CCC Coach of the Year. The Tualatin, Oregon, native graduated from Stanford in 1990 with a degree in Psychology and was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 2004.

I love these kinds of insider tips: A salesman explains how to negotiate for the best price on electronics.
Do you have other tips that work? Share them with us.
NEW YORK (AP) — Online spending for October grew at the slowest pace since at least 2001, an Internet research company says — the latest evidence that Web shopping is being dragged down by the deteriorating economy. According to the comScore Inc. report, online spending increased a meager 1 percent last month from the year-ago period, marking the slowest sales pace for any month since the Chicago-based company began tracking the data seven years ago. The results exclude business from auctions, autos and travel. ComScore is expected to issue its holiday forecast Nov. 25.
Sears stores across the country began offering layaway services to their customers Sunday, citing shopper demand and the success of the program at their sister-store, Kmart.
The resurgence of layaway seems to be one of the themes of this retail season, as shoppers try their best to stick to a budget during tough times. Sears' program allows customers to reserve merchandise early (before it's scooped up by other shoppers) and pay in installments. But while shoppers avoid the temptation of paying with credit cards, there is a cost for the convenience: Sears charges a $5 non-refundable service fee and a $10 cancellation fee applies. Upfront, customers have to put down $15 or 20 percent, whichever is greater.
"We want our valued Sears customers to be able to stay within their holiday budgets this year," Don Hamblen, Sears' chief marketing officer said in a release last week. "We're making that happen by offering the benefits of layaway, as well as Early Black Friday pricing — all starting this weekend."
Nov. 13 (Bloomberg) — Target Corp., Limited Brands Inc. and other U.S. retailers are devising new ways to fight fraudulent merchandise returns, which may cost the industry $3.5 billion during the holiday selling season. Return fraud may total $11.8 billion this year, up almost $1 billion from 2007, according to a survey from the National Retail Federation. The biggest portion of the year's fraud will occur in the final months of this year, the Washington-based trade group estimated. Return fraud encompasses various transactions involving dishonest consumers or thieves seeking refunds or exchanges from stores for merchandise that has been used, swapped, or stolen. Retailers combat this fraud with special databases, hard-to- replicate receipts, and portable alarms called "spider wraps." The problem has worsened because organized retail fraud has become more sophisticated, said Joe LaRocca, the NRF's vice president of loss prevention. "Ten years ago, it was more teenagers and that sort of thing," said Target spokesman Michael Krueger. "Now we're seeing a different, more professional type getting involved." About 7.5 percent of holiday returns will be suspected as fraudulent, compared with 5.4 percent for the whole year, the survey showed.
This week, we talk about local vendors that provide an alternative to holiday shopping at malls this weekend with an organic and eco-friendly holiday market.
More than 70 million of you are expected to shop online today as retailers roll out Web only promotions, according to an recent industry survey.
What once was a marketing gimmick, "Cyber Monday" is now a full-fledged online buying event. More than 70 percent of online stores will be offering some sort of promotion today, according to a survey done for industry trade group Shop.org.
You can check out today's deals at CyberMonday.com, a Shop.org Web site that lists specials for more than 500 retailers. And let us know if you find any steals.
Here's an indication of how popular HDTVs were on Black Friday.
On Saturday, I went into the Bright House Networks customer service center on South Orange Avenue in Orlando to get an HD DVR box for my new HDTV.
I was greeted by this sign on the door.
The clerk said the shortage of HD cable boxes was because so many people bought HDTVs on Friday and wanted to start getting HD programming.
But I couldn't wait until Monday to get an HD box, so I drove to the Bright House location in Altamonte Springs and got one there.
It's clear from early reports locally and nationally that the Zune, Microsoft's answer to the iPod, is a hot seller today.
But it appears that people are snatching up the older, first generation Zune because of its price.
For instance, both Office Max and RadioShack were offering a 30GB Zune for $99.99. That's an amazing price for a player that holds so much digital media.
Both stores were only selling the Zune in Brown, and RadioShack was offering a free black leather case because store officials don't think people really like the brown color of the player.
Both the Office Max on East Colonial Drive and the RadioShack on South Orange Avenue sold out of the 30GB $99.99 Zunes.
The second-generation 30GB Zune, which came out a few weeks ago, sells for $199.99
Online retailer Amazon is giving some very lucky customers the chance to buy some of this year's hottest gadgets at ridiculously low prices.
It's all part of their second annual Customers Vote promotion. The way it works is that there are six rounds with three discounted products in each round. In each round, customers choose which of the three products they would most like to buy at an amazing discount.
The product that gets the most votes in each round will be offered for sale to some randomly selected customers. Some of the runner up products will also be offered at discount prices.
The promotion ends on Nov. 28 and Amazon will stagger when they announce the winning products in each round.
But you better hurry up and enter. Voting for Round 1 ends at 3:59 a.m. Wednesday.
Here's are some of the sweetest deals:
Nintendo Wii: $79
PlayStation 3: $139
Xbox 360: $99
HP Pavilion laptop: $299
Magellan GPS system: $99
Samsung 46 inch 1080p LCD TV: $719

Paranormal Activity 2 Director Muscled Off Film
By Will LeBlanc 2010-01-27 06:39:19 comments
Apparently Lionsgate has some issues controlling their douchebag tendencies. Based on a brief yet heated blog post from Saw VI helmer Kevin Greutert, Lionsgate lawyers have muscled him off of Paranormal Activity 2 so they can force him back into the directors chair for this years Saw VII, which if Im not mistaken will be 3D, so bring your Gallagher ponchos.
Here's the post in its entirety:
I just had the task of telling my 83 year old mother that no, Im not going to be allowed to direct the movie we were all so excited about when my family last got together, and that Im being forced to leave town before getting a chance to see her again. Yes, Ill be filming people getting tortured YET AGAIN. So well have to put off me making a film she can actually watch for another year.
Its not hard to see that Lionsgate may be a little jealous about their director going to Paramount for PA2 since last years indie breakout made $107 million, almost all of it in profit, while the popular Saw franchise only took $27 million. Understandably, Greutert is none too happy about this display of Hollywood bullying, and neither are the readers over at his blog, who seem even more in an uproar than he is.
Expect an official statement from one of the studios involved very soon giving us more details on the move, and the future of PA2. Personally, Id be a happy camper if that project just went away. I dont doubt that someone could do it well down the road, but forcing it out by Halloween 2010 seems rushed and smells a lot like a Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows situation. Just let it sit for a little while instead of trying to get the next gimmick-filled money maker out, Paramount. Please.

Disney dumps Dogma
Culture | A churchgoer's blasphemous movie is too much for even the Magic Kingdom
and Gene Edward Veith - The latest anti-religion movie- written and directed by someone who identifies himself as a professing, churchgoing Christian-has proven too much even for Disney. Dogma is about two fallen angels, played by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who scheme to get back into heaven by taking advantage of an indulgence proclaimed by the Roman Catholic Church: Anyone who passes through a special arch in New Jersey will have his sins forgiven. If they do, God will have been proven fallible and the whole structure of the universe will come apart. A good angel (Alan Rickman) tries to stop the scheme by enlisting the heroine (Linda Fiorentino), who works at an abortion clinic. It is up to her to save the world because she is descended from Joseph and Mary. As if this were not enough, she is aided by the foul-mouthed Thirteenth Apostle (Chris Rock), who tells us what really happened in all of those Bible stories, including the sex lives of the Apostles. He also offers nostrums like these: "Life should be malleable and progressive.... Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth. New ideas can't generate if life becomes stagnant." God is cast as a woman, played by rock star Alanis Morrissette. Throughout, postmodern relativism and Barnes & Noble pop-spirituality is opposed to all of that traditional "dogma." As we are told by a wise stripper, after she compares the Catholic Mass to bad sex, "It doesn't matter what you believe in-just that you believe." As the Catholic League geared up to protest the film, Disney-parent company of Miramax, the studio that made the film-vetoed its release. Miramax Films co-chairmen Bob and Harvey Weinstein said their Disney bosses thought the film was too anti-Catholic and shouldn't be released under their branding. But instead of killing the project, Disney allowed the Weinsteins to buy up the movie and release it themselves. "If this is a corporate problem for Burbank, let's solve it for them," Mr. Weinstein told the Los Angeles Times. After battles over movies like Kids and Priest-not to mention the Southern Baptist boycott-Disney's corporate image might not be ready for another fight. Dogma was written and directed by cult favorite Kevin Smith. His last movie was Chasing Amy, a film in which Affleck plays a comic-book writer in love with a lesbian (played by Mr. Smith's own girlfriend, Joey Lauren Adams). Ironically, Mr. Smith, who was raised a Catholic, claims that he is a Christian and that the movie is "intended as a love letter to both faith and God almighty." In fact, Mr. Smith is a churchgoer, attending Calvary Chapel, the evangelical denomination that grew out of the counter-cultural Jesus Movement of the 1970s. Some observers have been wondering if Dogma is anti-Christian in general, or just anti-Catholic in particular. But in an interview promoting Chasing Amy (available on the Web at zug.com), Mr. Smith's religious beliefs become clear. After stating that he is a very spiritual person who believes in God and Jesus, he said that he stopped going to Mass because, though they called it the "Celebration of the Mass," it really wasn't much like a party, he told zug.com. "The fundamental difference I have with organized religion," he says, "is that I believe the Bible's a great book, but I'm not convinced that everything's factual. I think it's God's word interpreted by man, but in the end, it is man's book. "So I started going to this place called the Calvary Chapel Church, and I really dug on it. I felt a presence there. Then I read their literature, and their first belief was 'the Bible is God's word.' So I went, 'Gotta find a new religion.' But I'm still going there."

I have never fished with one of these and would like to make one. I saw a picture of one made by Celticav that really looked nice. What are the recommended blade styles, sizes etc... to get me started? What would be a good bait size to start off with? I plan on spending a day with it this Fall to gain a little confidence. Any tips on presentation? Thanks!

Thank you for your compliment, it runs very true and works great. Multi-bladed baits resemble small schools of bait fish and are hard for a bass to pass up. You can make one with any blades you wish. I only use that many on 3/8 size baits and up. Funny thing about a spinnerbait though, if you have a blade on the arm it will hold a larger blade on the end than one without the arm blade. If your using colo's or indy's, then start with a #2 and end with a #4 on a 3/8 size bait (2, 3, 3 1/2, then 4) and it is hard to go wrong... just adjust accordingly for larger size baits. Willows are tricky on the spacing and you must use the little metal tube spacers or beads to seperate the clevises, that plastic tubing stuff will put too much tension on the clevises and the blades will not spin even if beads are used between the clevis and the tubing. Start off with three bladed models to get you confident, these are superb night time and early morning baits. The three and four bladed ones are great for burning too. I love to use the one that I have as my avatar pic as a search bait in both spring and fall, they have a great yo-yo look and flutter nicely on a jerky retreive which looks very natural in the water.

Disney's "Cinderella" has come to The Roxy Theater in Newton. The musical is based on the animated cartoon.
Thirty-one children from various schools in the area are in the play. The Roxy Theater has one youth production every year.
The director says the production has been a lot of work, but it has a lot of fun as well.
"We're doing two days of school performances," said youth director, Julie Rowzee. "There are three performances each day. And it gives kids an opportunity that normally wouldn't get to come to anything like this."
Public performances will also be held next week.

Quick rethink the choice of Benedict
April 28, 2005
In your article titled Quick rethink the choice of Benedict you pointed out the fact that "Joseph Ratzinger, when he was 14, was a member of Hitler's Youth and a prisoner of war during World War II." What you failed to point out or did not realize was that being a part of the Hitler's Youth was mandatory not optional. Joseph Ratzinger had no choice in the matter he was forced to join the Hitler's Youth.
A very insulted Protestant,

Strategic Interests
by J. Peter Pham, Ph.D.
World Defense Review columnist
The Russian Bear Returns to Africa
As the Russian forces rumbling over the borders of Georgia brusquely reminded the international community that, as Senator John McCain noted, a lot of what was thought to have been left behind at the end of the twentieth century is now "rearing its ugly head in the twenty-first," including an aggressively expansive foreign policy, not only in Moscow's self-declared "Near Abroad," but wherever the Kremlin can find a opening to exploit. While considerable attention has been paid to the strategic implications of the recent Africa engagements by the United States, China, India, and Japan, very little attention has been paid to important moves being made by a resurgent Russia on an African continent whose geopolitical significance is increasingly acknowledged.
During the Cold War, Africa was a significant theater in the global rivalry between the superpowers with the Soviet Union's search for geostrategic advantage and diplomatic support leading the Kremlin (and its Eastern European and Cuban proxies) to pour massive resources into African anti-colonial movements and, ultimately, the regimes which emerged. For example, from its establishment in 1921, the South African Communist Party was a member of the Communist International (Comintern), with one of the former's founding members, David Ivon Jones, being appointed by Joseph Stalin to the Comintern Executive Committee in 1928. After African National Congress (ANC) deputy president Oliver Tambo visited Moscow in 1963, the Soviet Union undertook to train the leadership cadres of the ANC's military wing, Umkhonto we Zizwe, and the ANC itself became the first African liberation movement to establish direct ties with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, rather than through one of the Kremlin's "solidarity committees." After the Soweto uprising of 1976, Soviet assistance was critical to the ANC's establishment of training camps in the "frontline" states for the youth who fled South Africa. The legacy of these connections still influences contemporary politics, as Irina Filatova, professor emeritus at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and former head of the Department of African Studies at Moscow State University, noted in a recent scholarly paper:
President [Thabo] Mbeki's support for [Robert] Mugabe's government as a fellow liberation movement, despite the detrimental effect of this solidarity on both South Africa and Zimbabwe; the attempts of the government to control too many spheres of public life; the attempts to micro-manage and control the economy; its attitude to the media and to criticism both within and outside the ANC: all this and much more is traceable to the way the movement operated during the cold war and the era of its attachment to the Soviet Union. While the ANC might have survived without the Soviet Union, it would have been a very different ANC. And the last decades of the history of South Africa would have been very different too.
By the time the Soviet Union formally dissolved on Christmas Day 1991, more than 50,000 Africans had been trained in Soviet universities and military and technical institutes, including the incumbent heads of state of Angola (José Eduardo dos Santos, an engineering graduate of the Azerbaijan Oil and Chemistry Institute), Mali (Amadou Toumani Touré, who trained as a parachute commando in the Soviet Union), and South Africa (Thabo Mbeki, who received military and political training in the Soviet Union). In the heyday of Moscow's activism in the Third World, Soviet clients like President Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea and President Mengistu Haile Mariam of Ethiopia imposed Marxist dictatorships on their countries which aped the Stalinist prototype down to the minutest details of oppression.
In contrast, the 1990s saw a massive disengagement from Africa by Russian foreign policy, with the mantras of "socialist solidarity" replaced by the spectacle of politicians ranging from President Boris Yeltsin to ultranationalist leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky of the ironically-named Liberal Democratic Party blaming Russia's economic ills to the cost of aid which the Soviet Union had bestowed on Africa and other developing regions. In fact, aside from a reception accorded to then South African President F.W. de Klerk in mid-1992, not one African head of state was welcomed to the Kremlin during Yeltsin's entire first term as president of the Russian Federation. And it was not until more than halfway through his second term that Yeltsin receive another African leader, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. During this period, more than a dozen Russian embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic and commercial stations in Africa were shut down.
After Vladimir Putin succeeded Yeltsin as president on New Year's Eve 1999, however, there has been a slow, but steady, renewal of Russian interest in Africa. The Foreign Policy Concept of the Russian Federation which Putin approved in June 2000 pledged that "Russia will expand interaction with African states" and "develop a political dialogue with the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and with sub-regional organizations and to use their capabilities for enabling Russia to join multilateral economic projects in the continent." The driving force behind the new engagement was no longer global revolution, but, as the updated version of the document signed last month by Putin's handpicked successor, President Dmitry Medvedev, forthrightly admitted, more material concerns:
Priority attention will be paid to developing mutually beneficial economic cooperation, in particular in the energy sector, with countries of this region, which is of strategic importance to Russia's national interests ... We will develop political dialogue with the African Union and subregional organizations taking advantage of their capabilities to involve Russia in economic projects implemented on the continent.
Putin's September 2006 foray to South Africa and Morocco, during which he was accompanied by more than one hundred business leaders, had a decidedly economic emphasis. A number of South African companies including South African Breweries, the chemical firm Sasol, and the DeBeers Central Selling Organisation diamond marketing cartel have substantial investments in Russia, while Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg's Renova Group owns a 49-percent stake in United Manganese of Kalahari (the rest of the firm is held by a business front for the ruling ANC). The joint venture was, reportedly through Putin's intervention, granted prospecting rights in the North Cape region where some 80 percent of the world's known commercially exploitable reserves of manganese, a metal with important industrial alloy uses including steelmaking, are located. Two years earlier, another Russian firm, Norilsk Nickel, owned billionaire partners Mikhail Prokhorov and Vladimir Potanin, had made what was to date the largest foreign direct investment by a Russian company when it acquired a 20 percent stake in Gold Fields, a South African mining corporation, for $1.16 billion cash. At the time of the purchase from Anglo-American, Norilsk was already the world's largest producer of nickel and palladium and a leading producer of platinum, copper, and cobalt, as well as the largest gold miner in Russia. (In a somewhat apposite development, just last week Prokhorov paid 496 million euros to acquire the Villa Léopolda near Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera. The Belle Époque mansion was built in 1902 by King Leopold II of the Belgians, using the proceeds from his private African colonial enterprise, the Congo Free State.)
Morocco is Russia's largest trading partner in Africa, with more bilateral trade valued at more than $1.5 billion annually. With some 88.5 billion tons of proven reserves, the North African kingdom is the world's third-largest producer of phosphate rock behind the United States and the People's Republic of China. Raw phosphates and fertilizer are the country's leading export commodities and Russia is a key client of Morocco's state-owned Office Chérifien des Phosphates. By agreement Morocco's territorial waters are open to Russian pelagic trawlers, which also work the coastal waters off Western Sahara.
The push for access to strategic natural resources has continued in recent years. In 2007, Norilsk Nickel's $5.2 billion acquisition of Canada's LionOre Mining gave the Russian firm an 85 percent stake in Botswana's Tati Nickel, which had recently announced the commissioning of a new plant with the capacity of 12 million tons of ore per annum for the Phoenix Mine in the northeastern part of the country and an expansion of the nearby Selkirk Mine (which has at least 230 million tons of ore deposit), as well as a 50 percent stake in South Africa's Nkomati Nickel, where it has quadrupled the nickel production as well expanded output of copper and platinum-group metal by-products (mainly palladium). The same year, an overseas holding company for Russia's largest petroleum producer, Lukoil, acquired for an undisclosed sum a 63 percent interest in a 2,600-square kilometer deepwater block 100 kilometers offshore from Côte d'Ivoire in the Gulf of Guinea. At the same time, another Russian firm, Sintezneftegaz, has acquired oil exploration rights off Namibia. Meanwhile, another Russian conglomerate, Oleg Deripaska's United Company RUSAL aluminium firm, spent $250 million to acquire a majority stake in Aluminium Smelter Company (ALSCON) of Nigeria. RUSAL already controlled the $350 million Fria aluminium complex in Guinea as well as that West African country's Dian-Dian bauxite field, one of the world's largest deposits of the ore. The two latter properties have, respectively, an annual production of 640,000 tons of alumina and 1.9 million tones of bauxite. (It should be noted that, in recent years, the price of aluminium has shot through the roof, closing last Friday at $2,716 a ton on the London Metals Exchange; however, if futures prices are any indication, the heady predictions of some analysts that it could rise to $4,500 a ton by next year are not to be rule out.)
In May of this year, Severstal, Russia's second-largest steelmaker, spent $40 million to acquire control of a deposit in the Putu Range area of Liberia containing some 500 million tons of iron ore. In June, industry media fluttered with rumors that a Russian consortium, purportedly led by Norilsk, was preparing a $2 billion acquisition of mining assets in Zambia.
Furthermore, as a report earlier this year on Russia's Outward Investment by Deutsche Bank noted, "apart from resource-based companies, Russian financial companies are also pushing into Africa and leading Russian telecommunications firms are also expected to expand in the African continent." For example, in Libya, which Putin visited in April, Russian Railways has been given a $2 billion contract to build a 516-kilometer branch line. The contract is one of several that Russian companies have captured following the write-off of $4.5 billion in Libyan debt. Libyan Prime Minister al-Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmudi, visiting Moscow at the beginning of August, was quoted by the Russian business newspaper Kommersant as gushing that "we have a special attitude towards Gazprom" referring to the Russian natural gas monopoly which has openly floated the idea of buying all of Libya's future oil, natural gas and liquefied natural gas designated for export and inviting now-Prime Minister Putin to come back to visit Benghazi. The diplomatic duet being played by the Russian leader and the Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution had a strategic edge to it. During the April visit, Putin, after being shown by Muammar al-Qadhafi around the Tripoli residence bombed by the United States in 1986 following a Libyan terrorist attack against American military personnel in Berlin, denounced "the U.S. attack" and wrote in the visitor's book: "In memory of the martyr victims, we share your sadness. Please accept our condolences." Libya, in turn, has welcomed Russia's reemergence on the world stage. Last week, Qadhafi's influential son Saif al-Islam was quoted by the Russia news service RIA Novosti as saying that Libya had an optimistic view of the current conflict in the Caucasus: "What happened in Georgia is a good sign, which means America is no longer the sole world power setting the rules of the game. There is a balance in the world now. Russia is resurging, which is good for us." Tripoli has also been supportive of a proposal from Moscow to turn the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), founded in Tehran in 2001 as an informal club of major natural gas exporting nations, into an Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries-type cartel. The United States and the European Union have both repeatedly warned that turning the GECF into an OPEC-style organization would pose a serious danger to global energy security, opening the way to price manipulation.
More ominously, Russia is also using arms facilitate its access to natural resources. In 2006, following a visit by President Putin to Algiers, Russia agreed to write off some $4.7 billion in Col War-era debt owed by Algeria in exchange for a new $7.5 billion arms deal that will include MiG-29SMT fourth-generation fighters, Su-30MKA multi-role strike fighters, Yak-30 military jet trainers, two Varshavyanka-class diesel-electric submarines, and two Nanuchka-class corvettes, as well as eight S-300PMU-2 "Favorit" surface-to-air (SAM) batteries and the Tunguska-MI air defense missile and cannon systems. At the same time, Gazprom entered into an agreement with the Algerian state gas company, Sonatrach, to cooperate in exploration, extraction, and production of liquefied natural gas. While the gas deal was subsequently put on hold, it was apparently revived earlier this year when the Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika visited Putin in Moscow.
Combined, a Gazprom-Sonatrach partnership would control nearly 40 percent of Europe's gas consumption a datum which points to what may be the underlying strategy which Russia has embraced under Putin. As Senator Richard Lugar noted in prepared remarks at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing earlier this summer, "Gazprom's monopoly-seeking activities cannot be explained by economic motives alone. It is difficult to distinguish where the Russian Government ends and where Gazprom begins. Clearly Gazprom has sacrificed profits and needed domestic infrastructure investments to achieve Russian foreign policy goals." The Indiana Republican also correctly observed that "energy may seem to be a less lethal weapon than military force, but a sustained natural gas shutdown to a European country in the middle of winter could cause death and economic loss on the scale of a military attack."
Moreover, albeit to what up to now has been a more modest extent than similar programs in other countries, Russia has also been shoring up its "soft power." Under Putin, the Kremlin resumed granting scholarships for African students to study in Russian universities and other institutions of higher education. Currently several hundred African students benefit from the program, which covers tuition and room and board, to study at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (PFUR) in Moscow, formerly the Patrice Lumumba University. In addition to the students receiving Russian government scholarships, several hundred other Africans are also currently enrolled at PFUR on fee-paying basis. According to PFUR's Russian-language website, the school still has its mission "the formation of individuals who are patriots of their own countries as well as friends of Russia." Several hundred secondary school students from Africa also graduate each year from Russian institutions.
In another initiative aimed at increasing its influence in Africa, some of the activities of the old Soviet Association of Friendship with African Peoples, originally founded in 1959 with the mission of "arrang[ing] meetings, social events, talks, and exhibitions devoted to the national holidays of the African peoples, to anniversaries of people outstanding in the cultural field in Africa, and to other important events in the life of African nations," have been revived by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs-run Russian Center for International Scientific and Cultural Cooperation (Roszarubeszhtsentr). Roszarubeszhtsentr branches are currently operating in Congo (Brazzaville), Egypt (Alexandria and Cairo), Ethiopia (Addis Ababa), Madagascar (Antananarivo), Morocco (Rabat), Namibia (Windhoek), Nigeria (Lagos), Tanzania (Dar es Salaam), Tunisia (Tunis), and Uganda (Kampala). The Institute for African Studies within the Russian Academy of Sciences, also founded in 1959, was reorganized last year and now embraces thirteen research units, a working group, and an information center, employing a total of more than one hundred academic staff members a substantial commitment of public resources that is unmatched anywhere else. The Institute is currently directed by Alexei Vasiliev, a scholar of the Middle East and Africa who has authored nearly thirty books and over 800 articles over the course of a career spanning four decades. In addition to his academic and policy research, since 2006 Professor Vasiliev has also doubled as Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for Relations with African Leaders. (In the United States, Professor Vasiliev would undoubtedly run afoul of leftist-dominated ivory tower groups like the African Studies Association and the Middle East Studies Association which regularly pass resolutions opposing members' application for or acceptance of military and intelligence funding of area and language programs, projects, and research in African studies. While, both as a U.S. citizen and an Africanist, I am uneasy with the Kremlin's policy objectives in Africa, I can nonetheless respect the Russian academician's service to his country's interests which, far from diminishing his scholarship, has arguably enhanced its relevance.)
In his Washington Post column last week, Robert Kagan somewhat dramatically, but nonetheless correctly, argued:
Historians will come to view August 8, 2008, as a turning point no less significant than November 9, 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell. Russia's attack on sovereign Georgian territory marked the official return of history, indeed to an almost 19th-century style of great-power competition, complete with virulent nationalisms, battles for resources, struggles over spheres of influence and territory, and even though it shocks our 21st-century sensibilities the use of military power to obtain geopolitical objectives. Yes, we will continue to have globalization, economic interdependence, the European Union and other efforts to build a more perfect international order. But these will compete with and at times be overwhelmed by the harsh realities of international life that have endured since time immemorial.
While the web of strategic access and other ties that Russia has been reconstituting and expanding in Africa does not necessarily presage a return to a zero-sum Cold War competition across the continent, the long-term implications of these engagements should nonetheless be of concern to Africans and non-Africans alike, especially when, as U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates noted last week, "Russia's behavior over the past week has called into question the entire premise of that dialogue and has profound implications for our security relationship going forward." Given Africa's increasingly recognized geopolitical significance as well as the strategic importance of its natural resources to the security of the United States, American policymakers and analysts would do well to be wary of the Russian bear's return to the Dark Continent.

Drone training flights proposed for Hawai`i site
By 67AM KPUA News
HILO, Hawaii (AP) A proposal to relocate unmanned aircraft from California to Hawai`i calls for the Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island to host drone training flights for up to 12 weeks a year.
An environmental assessment completed recently says the reconnaissance drones would be based at Marine Corps base Hawaii at Oahu's Kaneohe Bay. But the drones also would utilize training areas at the Pohakuloa Training Area and on Kauai.
12 Shadow and 45 Blackjack drones would be involved in the transfer of the Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron Three, currently based at Twenty nine Palms, Calif. Under the proposal, the relocation would begin as early as June. Blackjack drones would be added next year.
The assessment says the transfer would allow the Marines to achieve a balance in its capabilities in the Pacific region.

I'm thinking of what I'll call, for lack of better word, a do it all (or mostly) bike. I need some help understanding what compromises in design or whatever that I'll have to make. The bike would be steel and lugged. I'm in fairly fit shape and an experienced rider (mountain and road) and weigh 155 lbs. I would like a bike that can handle fast road rides, dirt fire road epics, maybe some single track and touring. Admittedly, 99% of the time will probably be the road and dirt riding, but I'd like the ability to mount racks and go on a touring trip. I'm not looking for any kind of suspension. I'll probably enter an occasional cross-race, but I'm mostly just an aggressive weekend warrior.
What are some of the compromises that I'll have to make? For example, since I want to use the bike as a touring bike does this mean that thicker tubes should be used for strength at the expense of weight? My road bike is a custom Serotta and I love the way it fits and handles, but there isn't much clearance for fat tires. I guess I'm just wondering if there's a way to have my cake and eat it too.

Project Runway Has Their Final Three And Probably Not Who You Expect
October 08, 2008 08:19 PM by DA Southern
The Project Runway finale is just one week away as we get to see the creative process of each of the final four, Jerell, Korto, Kenley and Leanne knowing that even with all of their work, only three will finally show for real at Bryant Park.
Heidi greeted the final four and told them to go and create and to expect Tim to visit to check in on their process. Heidi told them that they each had $8000.00 and two months to put the collection together an that only three would compete. Heidi went on to say that they all had missteps in the last challenge of the Evening Gowns but that with more time and money, they should be able to put together a cohesive showing.
Kenley was as feisty as ever after Heidi's instructions and wanted to "Stomp them to the ground, design wise." If nothing else, we can always depend on Kenley's head-strong attitude to create drama, which is a hallmark on Project Runway.
Jerell said that he was not sure what the girls would be doing but he would be designing "Pure magic." Leanne said she "Had it in her" to win the competition and Korto added pretty much the same sentiment as we saw all of the designers head for home.
Four weeks later, Tim started his first home visits and Leanne was first to be visited. Leanne explained that most pieces were not finished and was not sure if Tim would love or hate the vision. With Kenley, Tim had his usual attitude as she said she valued his opinion, but never really listened to him as she became defensive about everything. One of the funniest exchanges was concerning some rope Kenley had in her design and Tim was concerned about it as a realistic design feature and Kenley was not. Korto and Jerell were briefly seen as well, but like all of the visits with Tim, we rarely get to see a lot of the designs as to not spoil the Fashion Week showings.
Back in New York, the designers arrived with designs in hand as they had an elimination to endure 6 days before the big Runway show. Korto arrived first and was glad to see Leanne and Jerell arrive and when Kenley arrived you could hear the crickets chipping in the background as each of the three were not happy to see her. Kenley actually took it all in stride and said she won't get too upset about people she would never see again. Obviously, Kenley doesn't understand the Reality TV world too well, does she?
Tim announced that there would be a final challenge to get to the final three and you could see the disappointment on all of the designer's faces as they thought there would be no more challenges that would they could not control. The challenge was to create two dresses, a wedding dress and a bridesmaid dress that matched in styling and portrayed who they were as a designer. Jerell though he had this one in the bag, which does not bode well for him, we have come to find out over the past five seasons of Project Runway.
After giving the designers time to sketch, Jerell once again said he lets the material tell him what to do. OK, that is strike two on Jerell. Tim then sent them to get fabric and announced that they had until midnight to complete the designs.
When Tim came in to check on the designs, Kenley once again got pissed at Tim because she was the only one doing a short dress and Tim tried to tell Korto to think shorter, thinking that Tim was trying to diss her. Poor, Kenley…it is always her against the world.
The final four showed the dresses and there was really not much "Backstage" waiting as we got a pretty early sense that judges, Kors, Garcia and Heidi were pretty satisfied with Leanne and Kenley's work and not so hot on Korto and Jerell.
After the presentation of the last challenge, Heidi announced that Kenley and Leanne would definitely be competing in Fashion Week, leaving Jerell and Korto to be "Aufed". Heidi said that Korto's dresses were "Overworked and overwrought" and that Jerell's were "Garish with too much fabric and too many jewels and Kors savaged the overall design of the dresses finishing with "And it ended with a flower pot on her head." OK, Jerell…that is strike three.
Jerell, over thought the challenge and was told by Heidi that he was "Auwt," which you know had to be a bummer because he did an entire collection. Which means for the first time in a couple of seasons, we have all women to choose from in the final Runway Show. You know we had to have Kenley, because it just wouldn't be any fun with out her would it now.
Next week, we will have the winner crowned of what may be the final season for a while as Project Runway gets ready to jump to a new network, but has been delayed because of legal entanglements.
Come and tell us what you think about the Designers on Project Runway Season 5 on our Message Boards.

Anyone with common sense knew that Kenley would be in, no matter what, even with a pretentiously silly duck wedding dress, stolen from the Alexander McQueen line, although, Kenley NEVER NEVER looks at other designer's. I knew Jerrell was destined to be aufed, even though as the winner of last week's challenge, he should have been the one designer assured to go to the final three, since the only reason Kenley stayed was to satisfy the producers. I hate this season so much. I have to watch next week, and I think Leeanne will win, but, if for any reason the passive aggressive witch wins, I will program Bravo out of my cable. I will never watch this show again. To be honest, if the producers think that she enhanced the season, they were wrong. Sometimes, a difficult contestant is fun to hate, but, she has ruined the season. Seeing her usurp Jerrell is infuriating. She is undeserving, both in lack of originality, style, and temperament. I hate it when the bad guys win and the good guys are rubbed out. Shame on you Bravo.

Monica Geller's Weight Loss Transformation Inspires 20 Years Later
Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Friends — what I'll be bold enough to call the quintessential TV show of the '90s and early '00s. I still quote it regularly and find ways to insert the nuisances of one of the best television comedies into my daily life. The fact that this anniversary is such a big deal proves I'm not alone!
"Fat Monica," played by Courtney Cox, was the character brought to life to illustrate Monica Geller's back story. Once an overweight teen with a serious junk food affection, present-day Monica was a fit and trim chef who found a different way to love food. So today, 20 years after this TV darling clapped its hands into our lives, we celebrate one of the most entertaining #TransformationTuesday successes around.

The attached link is from a blog that appears on the Cato Institute's site titled: A Free Press Only Counts if It's on Dead Trees. It asks a very poignant question about the freedom of this great nation. I'll put it in my own words: How can the government guarantee a free press?
Give up? It's really a trick question. Government doesn't guarantee anything, and certainly not a free press. The great danger I see in the idea covered here is that it puts government more in charge of the Fourth Estate than it does to guarantee the health of America's watchdog, which over the past several decades has aged into a lap dog that should have been euthanized long ago.
As a proponent of a free press, and one who made a living in it for more than 13 years, it's been difficult for me to watch this watchdog-to-lapdog progression. I've written here some of my thoughts on how American newspapers could stop bleeding red ink. In fact, Jason Kuznicki, the author of this blog, says pretty much the same thing at the end of his piece. I encourage you to read it.

I have been a coward – and I wasn't happy.
The best cinematic treatment of A.E.W. Mason's novel is here, a rousing and moving tale of a military man who is branded as a coward by those closest to him. Receiving four feathers as a sign of cowardice, Howard Faversham is inspired to go redeem himself in the eyes of his peers during the Mahdist War 1895.

James Michael Imperioli was born on Jan. 1, 1966 and raised in Mt. Vernon, NY. His father was a bus driver who was active in community theater, which inspired a young Imperioli to pursue the former of his father's talents by moving to New York City directly after high school to become an actor. He assumed he would be "discovered" almost immediately, but in truth, it took the actor four years to land in his first off-Broadway production and another year before he spoke his first line on a movie screen in the true story of an inner city teacher, "Lean on Me" (1989). Meanwhile, he worked odd jobs and studied acting at the acclaimed Stella Adler Conservatory. At the age of 23, Imperioli caught t... Continue Bio >>

The Problem:
The treatment of Alzheimer's Disease in America is for the most part geared towards serving the for-profit interests of health care providers such as pharmaceutical companies, doctors, hospitals, and medical device firms instead of the Alzheimer's patient and the individual who would like straight answers on methods to prevent and treat Alzheimer's Disease, As a result many effective, little-known methods to prevent and treat Alzheimer's are being ignored because they won't produce profits for the health care industry.
The Alzheimer's Disease Fund (ADF) is committed to providing the Solution to this problem.
The two largest funders of medical research into Alzheimer's Disease are the drug industry and the federal government's National Institute of Health (NIH). Unfortunately, most research being supported by the drug industry and the NIH is focused on drugs, medical devices, and methods which are specifically designed to generate substantial profits for the medical and drug industry. As a result, many promising methods of treating and preventing Alzheimer's are being ignored simply because their application does not have the potential to make money.
It is easy to understand why the drug and medical industry would pursue this type of research. They have a duty to their shareholders to earn a profit. But why would the NIH, which is supported by our tax dollars, follow the same path as the for-profit drug industry? The answer is a bit more complex. First; many of the people working at the NIH either used to work in the for-profit drug industry or would like one day to get a job working in the drug industry. As a result, they have a strong bias towards the same type of research the drug industry conducts. Second; the drug and medical industry employ thousands of lobbyists who have convinced many of our lawmakers that the NIH should be working hand in hand with the industry to develop new drugs and new treatment methods that will earn money for the industry.
Because of this alliance between the for-profit medical industry and the NIH, many promising treatments and methods to prevent Alzheimer's are not getting the attention they deserve. This hurts you. It hurts anyone who would like to take preventive measures so they don't get Alzheimer's. And it especially hurts those who are now suffering from this terrible disease and who are searching for effective treatments.
The Mission of the The Alzheimer's Disease Fund (ADF) is to promote research into cutting edge methods to prevent and treat Alzheimer's that are NOT being pursued by the government funded research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the medical industry. We are also committed to alerting the public to little-known ways available NOW to prevent and potentially treat Alzheimer's Disease.
How You Can Help:
Your donation to The Alzheimer's Disease Fund (ADF) will help us monitor and promote medical research into little-known methods of treating and preventing Alzheimer's Disease. We provide this information to the public and to opinion leaders in medicine through publications, media contacts, and high-level meetings with scientists and political leaders.
Your donation to The Alzheimer's Disease Research (ADF) can help promote research into promising but little-known methods to treat and prevent Alzheimer's by:
- lobbying the Congressional and Senate Committees who are responsible for providing funds to the NIH. We also educate the public about the problems with Alzheimer's research.
- mobilizing grassroots support to get the federal government to devote more of their budget to Alzheimer's research that involves nutritional, mineral, and other methods which have thus far been ignored.
- compiling and summarizing medical research findings on little-known but promising areas of Alzheimer's prevention and treatment and disseminating this information to opinion leaders and those suffering from the disease.
- reaching the public with our message thru appearances on radio and TV talk shows and thru printed materials.

Group D, Togo – Tunisia 1-1, Togo sail through for first ever quarterfinals
The Sparrow Hawks of Togo have achieved their first ever qualification for the second round of an African Cup of Nation5AFCON) after seven participation.
The Hawks break this long spell after putting up 1-1 against Tunisia to maintain the second position in Group D with four points.
Assisted by Adebayor at the 13' Serge Gakpe open score for Togo while Khaled Mouelhi equalized on penalty at the 30' before failing to give Tunisia lead on an another penalty at 78'.
Togo crosses over to the next round with Côte D'Ivoire while Tunisia are eliminated with Algeria whose fate had been sealed after their second defeat Saturday against Togo.
In the second round, Togo shall take on Burkina Faso, first of Group C while Côte D'Ivoire shall take on Nigeria second of Group C.
Experience the match in real time with live comments and scores
The Sparrowhawks of Togo duke it out with Tunisia on Wednesday, 30th of January in Mbombela Stadium (Nelspruit) at 5PM GMT.
The main final game in group D pits Tunisia against Togo later today at the Mbonbela stadium in Nelspruit to decide on the side to join Ivory Coast at the quarterfinal of the Orange Africa cup of nations 2013. Both contenders have three points apiece but Togo need at least a draw to qualify as they are advantaged with superior goals. The Sparrow Hawks had a poor start at the continental show falling to Ivory Coast 1-2. In their second game against Algeria, they found the net twice to finish off the North Africans who became the first team to be signed out of South Africa 2013. After unsuccessful attempts in their last six outings, Didier Six and his men are chasing a quarterfinal berth for the first time in the history of the nations cup. On the other hand, the Carthage Eagles must pick up all the three points to be able to advance to the next stage. Their record in this edition so far shows one win against Algeria (1-0) and a defeat against Ivory Coast (3-0). The Togolese will count on their all time top scorer, Emmanuel Adebayor (27 goals). Much will also be expected from Tunisia's Issam Jemma (34 goals) as well as Youssef Msakni who authored the winner against Algeria. Today's winners will take on Burkina Faso who secured their ticked last night after drawing 0-0 with Zambia in group C.

Saw this product a few weeks back and I've got it installed. I'm really impressed. I'm planning on releasing this into a private school that I work at. However, I have a question. Is there a way that I can setup the SMTP relay through my ISP to use some sort of authentication? I'm still learning the ropes in regards to email in the Linux world so any help is beneficial. I've got this up and running on Fedora 4. Everything else is working fine, it just sends an email back saying that my SMTP server needs authentication.
Great product and great support. Keep up the great work!!!

Aiding Poverty in Africa - Giving Until it Hurts
There seems to be a widely held belief among rock stars and celebrities that we can "make poverty history" simply by pouring billions of dollars into poor countries. They reason that if the poverty doesn't go away, it is because more aid is needed. However, the relationship between foreign aid and economic success may be nonexistent.
According to the Cato Institute, over $450 billion in foreign aid has been given to Africa since 1960, but from 1975 to 2000 GDP per capita decreased by about 0.6 percent a year. In sub-Saharan Africa, GDP per capita fell from $660 in 1980 to $577 in 2002. Contrast Africa's experience with South Asia's. In the 1975-2000 period, South Asia's GDP per capita increased by roughly 3 percent a year, even though its foreign aid per capita was only one-fifth that of Africa.
The view that poor countries need massive capital inflows to advance ignores a surprising reality: that poor people are capable of accumulating capital themselves. However, most of the world's poor are not able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps because of oppressive governments.
Even with the growth of "democracy," Africa remains the most corrupt continent on Earth. The problem is so pronounced that Transparency International, a group that measures global corruption, estimates Africa loses $148 billion every year to corruption. The King of Swaziland is reported to have, in one year, spent twice as much buying a private jet than on the nation's health budget. With officials acting in this manner, most Africans have come to view bribery and graft as a normal function of government.
Economic freedom is measured by a country's legal structure and property rights, size and scope of government, monetary system, freedom of trade, and regulation of credit, labor and business. The Fraser Institute publishes yearly reports rating countries on economic freedom.
From 1993 through 2002, the only group of countries experiencing an average decline in economic growth have been those in the lowest quintile of economic freedom. According to the most recent index, African nations make up 17 of the 25 countries in that group. These figures suggest that the reason foreign aid hasn't worked is because African governments don't promote and facilitate the accumulation of wealth and capital.
If G8 nations don't begin to shift their focus from foreign aid to increasing economic freedom, Africa's condition may only worsen. Noted Kenyan economist, James Shikwati, has made the plea, "for God's sake, please stop [the aid]." He maintains that huge donations of corn and second-hand clothing do little to help the masses, and have made it impossible for African farmers and tailors to sell their goods at prices that cover costs.
The G8 and Live Eight concerns about world poverty are well placed, even if their proposals are ineffective or counterproductive. The real solutions are simple, effective—but hard for African leaders to accept. Any action that delays the necessary shift to economic freedom will sentence millions of Africans to lives of poverty.

The Queens Garden trail connects to another short trail (Navajo Loop), which provides a nice hike and great views of the canyon from a somewhat... lower viewpoint. These hoodoos are part of the area called "Wall Street".
One of the popular hiking trails in Bryce Canyon is a relatively short hike to Queen's Garden - while this pan was not taken at the final destination, it's taken closer to the end than the beginning... a good way to view the scenery of Bryce from the "bottom" rather than the top
I believe this is the southernmost view in the "Bryce Canyon Ampitheater", which is the part of the park accessible by shuttlebus and open year round. The park does continue to the south, and the views are also lovely - but closed seasonally.
Or almost - just past the campground is the entrance to the scenic drive through the park. We didn't have enough time to drive it, but we did have a few minutes to stop and take a pan (the stop sign at the right edge of the pan marks the start of that drive).

Tom Odell breaks hearts and induces all the #crys with his sensitive piano pop.
It's not often you find a young pop pianist who doesn't get, say, thrown into the adult contemporary bin along with Josh Groban, Norah Jones, and Michael Buble. (Nothing wrong with those guys, of course, but they don't exactly fall into our, erm, demographic.)
And then there's 22-year-old U.K. singer, songwriter, and pianist Tom Odell, a long-haired blond dreamboat who idolizes Elton John and manages to create heartbreaking piano pop that you could easily enjoy with your mom, grandma, and anyone else who puts his record on. Yep, Tom's what you might call "cross-generational."
Read more about Tom Odell after the jump.
Initially discovered by Lily Allen in 2012 (yes, THAT Lily Allen), Tom signed to her label, In The Name Of (a Columbia imprint), and has since made a career splashdown in the U.K. After releasing his debut EP, Songs from Another Love, in Oct. 2012, Tom won the BRITs' Critics' Choice Award in 2013, was one of 15 nominees for the BBC Sound of 2013 poll, and his music has even been used in a handful of Burberry runway shows. (That's about as British as it gets, no?)
But before we kvell too hard over Tom and his many accomplishments, let's first focus on his debut studio album, Long Way Down, which dropped just last summer. We'll start things off with Tom's piano-heavy "Another Love," an exhaustive, heartbreaking ballad about wanting to connect to someone but feeling "used up" by a previous relationship. "I wanna sing a song, that'd be just ours/ But I sang 'em all to another heart/ And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love/ But all my tears have been used up/ On another love."
On "Hold Me," a cheerier, percussion-driven track, Tom's vocals sound explosive (much like, say, The Avett Brothers) as he croons about the touch-the-sky feeling you get from connecting with a new love: When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms/ Oh when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart/ When you hold me, when you hold me in your arms/ Oh when you hold me, yeah I can feel your heart beating."
Nowadays, MTV's latest Artist To Watch will be touring through Europe, but in case you live Stateside, you can grab a copy of Tom's Long Way Down AND cast your vote to make "Hold Me" BBC's "Hottest Record Of 2013." Once you've done that, download "Hold Me," and watch footage of Tom performing "Hold Me" and "Another Love" live below!
