New York -- Tommy Bahama Group Inc. said Thursday its first Tommy Bahama global flagship store will open on Nov. 17 at 551 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
The 5,000-sq.-ft. store, coined "Manhattan Island," is the largest Tommy Bahama retail location worldwide and features an expanded merchandise collection, a 1,300-sq.-ft. Marlin Bar – the only freestanding bar between the Empire State Building and Central Park – and a 6,700-sq.-ft. restaurant on the second floor. The restaurant opening has been delayed to December due to problems caused by Hurricane Sandy.
"It took us a long time to find the right space, but we are confident that this is the perfect location for us -- New York's Fifth Avenue is the epicenter of luxury, style and the heart of Mid-town Manhattan," said Terry Pillow, CEO, Tommy Bahama.
Located in the circa 1927 Fred F. French Building, the Tommy Bahama store was designed by Michael Neumann Architecture.

Johnny Cupcakes
This shirt is cuters! I love me some cupcakes and fashion.
Very strange idea, this brand was started as a joke and has become a bit of a cult thing. Fun shirt.Added 9 Years Ago from Johnny Cupcakes
I'm continually amazed by the fact that a faux cupcake store has been able to transform simple designs like this into some of the hottest tees around. But for some reason, I'm really loving them.
I prefer the original slogan, but I think this one is (nearly) equally as appealing.
Clearly, the toxic cupcake logo isn't the only thing in Johnny Cipcake's repetoir anymore. Just check out this one-color, typography print. It's fresh, fun and interesting.
Johnny Cupcakes redesigns one of those "lookie" things to cater to his always baking oreinted theme. Made from 100% cotton.
Johnny Cupcakes visits what Christmas would look like in his world and it's exactly like the design on this shirt.

John Redmond, the former head of major casino groups in the United States, has been named the new chief executive of casino owner Echo Entertainment.
As flagged by BusinessDay this morning, Mr Redmond will take on the job in January, once all regulatory approvals are received. He replaces Larry Mullin, who announced his resignation in September.
Mr Redmond has previously held executive positions with Caesars World, including senior vice president and chief financial officer of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
He was also the co-chief executive officer of MGM Grand Mirage, an international casino and hotel group.
''John Redmond brings to the job an invaluable balance of experience covering casino and entertainment management, financial management, listed company leadership and casino regulatory experience,'' said Echo chairman John o'Neill.
Mr Redmond became an observer on the board in September 2011 and formally became a director in March this year after receiving regulatory approval for the post.
The company's board has undergone massive changes in 2012, since former chairman John Story departed in June following pressure from James Packer, the chairman of Echo rival Crown.
Mr Redmond has been an observer of the Echo board since September 2011, and joined as a non-executive director in March 2012.
He will be paid a fixed salary of $2.25 million each year in his new role, plus short-term incentives of up to $1.5 million.
Mr Redmond will also receive up to $25,000 to cover the costs of his move from the US to Australia.
Chairman John O'Neill said Mr Redmond possessed invaluable experience in the casino and entertainment industry.
''He has a deep knowledge of all aspects of casino and entertainment operations and will bring international experience and perspective to Echo's strategy for corporate growth,'' Mr O'Neill said in a statement.
Echo owns The Star in Sydney, the Treasury casino in Brisbane, and Jupiters Gold Coast and Jupiters Townsville.

SLU Researchers Win NIH Grant to Study Lupus
Anil Chauhan, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the
division of rheumatology (left) and Terry Moore M.D.,
is the director of rheumatology.
ST. LOUIS - Two researchers at Saint Louis University's division of rheumatology in the department of internal medicine have been awarded a $1.8 million NIH grant to study the physiological and biochemical functions in lupus, an autoimmune disease, and develop possible new medications for its treatment.
Lupus, a chronic inflammatory disease, occurs when the body's immune system produces antibodies that attack its own tissues and organs, and affects different parts of the body including kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs. Terry Moore, M.D., director of rheumatology and Anil Chauhan, Ph.D., associate professor in the division of rheumatology at SLU will study and evaluate the role of T-cells and immune complexes in the disease, and how they generate inflammatory responses.
A T-cell is a lymphocyte - a type of white blood cell - that protects the body's immune system against infection and abnormal immunologic processes. Usually, antigens bind to antibodies, forming immune complexes that are part of a normal physiological process to remove undesired proteins from blood circulation. But in lupus patients, as these complexes continue to circulate in the body, they lead to excessive inflammation and produce bad T-cells, which lead to tissue damage and organ failure. Moore said that they have found receptors on T-cells that were not recognized before. Receptors are the surface on the cell that selectively receive and bind specific substances. Moore and Chauhan found that the binding of these complexes with Fc receptors, a kind of receptor, can affect treatment of lupus patients.
"We are just trying to understand the basic immunologic mechanisms of the disease," said Moore. "By understanding those, we can set up better therapy for lupus."
Moore also said that the broader aim of the research is to understand the pathology of the disease and monitor changes in the T-cells and study how well the suggested therapy and drug are working.
"We want to figure out how immune complexes that are present during the disease pathology change the normal T cells into bad T-cells," said Chauhan, co- principle investigator on this project. "If we can block this development of bad T-cells that are present in lupus patients, we will be able to develop a new therapeutic drug."
The grant is based on a unique capture technology for isolation of immune complexes developed by Chauhan. A recent study published in the Journal of Biological Sciences found that the immune complexes could activate CD4+ T cells, also known as helper cells, which lay the foundation for the research being done by Moore and Chauhan.
The five-year project will involve evaluation of T-cells in 100 lupus patients. Chauhan with Richard DiPaolo, Ph.D., assistant professor in the department of molecular microbiology and immunology at SLU, will also conduct an experiment in which they will remove the normal T-cells from a set of mice and implant the bad T-cells from the lupus patients in them. They will then monitor the mice and look for any development of lupus, which will be treated with potential drugs.
"If we develop a new drug, it will really help patients," said Chauhan. "In the last 30 years there has been only one successful new drug for lupus; we need many more alternative therapies."
Moore said lupus is the most common disease in young females of all races in the United States, especially African-Americans.
"With more specific findings, we may be able to address specific medications with fewer side effects," he said.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, liver disease, heart/lung disease, aging and brain disease, and infectious disease.

COMMENTARY: A New 9/11 Investigation in New York City? The Voters Will Decide--If the Lawyers Let Them
by James Ridgeway
Truth was obviously censored and ncomplete in the original 9/11 Commission's report. If anyone deserves the opportunity to press on for answers, it is the people of the City of New York. The next few weeks will tell whether they are at long last given that opportunity.
In the five years since the 9/11 Commission released its studious but timid report, Americans of all political stripes have advocated for a new investigation into the attacks of September 11, 2001. Since Obama seems intent upon putatively pardoning the Bush Administration for all of its crimes and misdemenors, such an investigation will clearly not take place at the federal level. But a New-York based organization has been pursuing a local effort--and on the eve of the eighth anniversary of the attacks, it has achieved what could be an important step toward its goal. The New York City Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN), which describes itself as "a group comprising 9/11 family members, first responders, and survivors," has gathered signatures to place a referendum for a new 9/11 investigation on the November ballot in New York City.
The Bloomberg administration fought the effort by claiming that only about 26,000 of the 52,000 signatures submitted by NYC CAN were valid, leaving the group some 4,000 short of the requirement for a ballot measure. After the New York courts appointed a "referee" to review the tossed-out petitions, NYC CAN scrambled to validate thousands of signatures, and submitted 28,000 more. And just yesterday, the group announced in a press release that "in a last minute decision, lawyers for the City of New York have conceded that [NYC CAN] indeed did submit over 30,000 valid signatures...The City's concession...paves the way for lawyers for both sides to argue the legality of the petition."
There are several more hurdles ahead: New York City has a long history of blocking citizen-generated ballot initiatives on the grounds of legal technicalities. And all legal issues must be resolved by September 30 for the measure to make it onto the November ballot. But if the referendum were to be presented and passed, it would lead to the creation of what its authors describe as "a local, independent commission with subpoena power that would be tasked with comprehensively reinvestigating the attacks."
Believing that such an investigation is necessary and vital doesn't require a subscription to any particular conspiracy theory about the attacks. In my 2006 book The Five Unanswered Questions About 9/11: What the 9/11 Commission Report Failed to Tell Us, I focused on straightforward, even obvious questions: Why was the airline industry, with its army of well-connected lobbyists, permitted to resist safety regulations that could have saved lives? How did our foreign policy, and "allies" like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, help pave the way for the attacks? Why did a politically driven, Iraq-obsessed administration ignore repeated warnings of the coming danger? Who was in charge as the attacks unfolded?
Some of these questions ought to practically answer themselves. Yet in its 664-page report, the 9/11 Commission managed not to answer them--in many cases, by the simple means of not asking them in the first place. The Commissioners themselves announced their limited intentions in the report's opening pages, where they wrote: "Our aim has not been to assign individual blame. Our aim has been to provide the fullest possible accounting of the events surrounding 9/11 and to identify lessons learned." The contradiction inherent in these stated aims is obvious: without "blame," there can be no true accountability, and without accountability, there is nothing to ensure that the "lessons" of 9/11 will be "learned."
In a just-released book called Ground Truth, John Farmer, senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission and now dean of Rutgers Law School, declares that at an early stage in its investigation, the Commission
It should come as no surprise that the 9/11 Commission conceded to this decision and limited its investigations accordingly. As I wrote in the conclusion to my own book, when it comes to the September 11 attacks and the lies and obfuscations that followed:
If anyone deserves the opportunity to press on for answers, it is the people of the City of New York. The next few weeks will tell whether they are at long last given that opportunity.

The Washington Post's Bill Donohue problem
Yesterday, the Washington Post once again turned its web site over to right-wing bigot and Catholic League president Bill Donohue [1], giving him an unmoderated online Q&A session [2] with Post readers. Quite predictably, Donohue took the opportunity to mislead his audience.
Here's Donohue on a Smithsonian exhibit he doesn't like:
It was hate speech, pure and simple, and it should not be funded by the 80 percent of the nation which is Christian.
it wasn't [3]. It was funded with private donations.
But recognizing that basic reality would leave Donohue without anything to fulminate about, so he kept suggesting throughout the Q&A that government funds paid for the exhibit:
- "If someone wants to peddle hate speech disguised as art, let them do it on their own dime."
- "I have never called for censorship, but I have asked legitimate questions regarding the propriety of funding hate speech directed at my religion."
The Post could have ensured its readers weren't misled by Donohue's statements had it simply included in its brief introduction of the Q&A a sentence noting that the Smithsonian does not use public funds for exhibits. It chose not to do so, despite the fact that it was entirely predictable that Donohue would make such claims. In other words, the Washington Post chose to allow Donohue to mislead its readers. In other words, the Washington Post chose to mislead its readers.
Later in the Q&A, Donohue told another whopper: "I never asked for the vile video to be pulled. But quite frankly, if museums were privately funded, then much controversy could be avoided." Donohue's implication that he wouldn't have complained about the exhibit had it took place in a privately-owned art gallery is, at best, disingenuous. Donohue regularly attacks his lengthy list of private-sector enemies, as a quick glance at his recent press releases [4] makes clear.
Obviously, the Washington Post has no qualms about granting a platform to an unrepentant bigot [1]; they've hosted Donahue and others like him [5] frequently [6]. Anti-gay [7] and anti-Muslim [8] bigots [9], in particular, enjoy a warm welcome at the Post, which pretty clearly says something about the newspaper. And just as obviously, the Post doesn't mind if people use [10] the platform it grants them to mislead [11] Post readers. But there's yet another reason why Donohue was a spectacularly poor choice: He quite obviously had no interest in engaging with Post readers in an honest discussion, which would seem to be the whole point of these Q&A sessions.
Here, for example, is Donohue's response to a reader who asked "How do you define the difference between art and anything that might be deemed offensive? The very nature of art is expression and individuality":
William Donohue: People in the asylum are expressive as well, and so are children in nursery schools. Should we subidize them as well?
This exchange similarly demonstrates that Donohue had no interest in a thoughtful exchange of views with Post readers; he just wanted to lash out:
Washington, D.C. : David Wojnarowicz's video was set in the days of the AIDS epidemic. He had been thrown out of his home when he came out, and had to survive in the streets. His art was about alienation, despair, rebellion and survival. When placed in context, you can see that this was not an assault on the Christian faith. Why do you deny us the opportunity for a conversation? The whole point of this exhibit was to confront and try to look behind the veil, not to change points of view but show that there other points of view.
William Donohue: Someone should have gotten to him earlier and told him to stop with his self-destructive behavior and to stop blaming the faithful for his maladies.
Donohue has previously denounced the "gay death style [12]" and complained [13] "The gay community has yet to apologize to straight people for all the damage that they have done." At this point, I should remind you that the Washington Post chose to grant him a platform on World AIDS Day.
Even more telling than the Washington Post's repeated decisions to grant a hate-merchant like Donohue a platform [14] is the paper's refusal to acknowledge that Donohue himself is a controversial figure with a history of hateful comments, even as it quotes him denouncing what he describes as bigoted and hateful attacks on Catholics.
If you search for "Donohue AND Catholic League" in the Washington Post and WashingtonPost.com source folders on Nexis, you'll get 67 hits dating back to 1994, including dozens of articles mentioning or quoting Donohue and several letters to the editor from him. What you won't find is a single Post mention of Donohue -- not one -- that describes him as a controversial figure, or that quotes or even refers to his own history of inflammatory hate speech. The Post regularly quotes Donohue's denunciation of things he claims are hateful, offensive, or bigoted, but in doing so, it never mentions his own pattern of such comments. Never.
It's difficult to come to any conclusion but that the Washington Post just doesn't think there's anything objectionable about Bill Donohue's history of inflammatory rhetoric. Or about Donohue misleading its readers.

Oil the dry recorder with a cleaning rod (fuzz-free cloth about 2 x 5 cm, insert through loop), polishing inside (and out, if the instrument is not lacquered!) but do not use an excessive amount. Please do not oil the tenon with cork.
Use almond oil or cold-pressed linseed oil. Be careful with the headpiece: oil inside only up to 2 cm before the block, oil the whole of the outside, but on the labium surface apply very carefully just a little oil at the front. No oil should get near the block! Stand the oiled recorder overnight on newspaper to dry, in such a way that the superfluous oil does not get into the finger-holes or onto the block. Wipe away any remaining oil the next day with a dry cloth.
If you are unsure, it is better not to apply enough oil than to use too much! Depending on the amount of use, oil the recorder once or twice a year inside and out! Oil takes care of and impregnates the wood, and the sound becomes fuller.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/9/2012 (1815 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
So remember how last year at this time, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers front office bought up some billboards in Regina on the eve of the annual Labour Day Weekend Classic to taunt Saskatchewan Roughriders fans for being a bit "backwards", seeing as how the 1-7 Riders at the time had exactly the opposite record of the 7-1 Bombers?
Yeah, that didn't work out so good.
For starters, the 1-7 Riders — fresh off a coaching change — promptly handed the Bombers back-to-back losses in the 2011 Labour Day Weekend game and the following week's Banjo Bowl. And for another, it's this year's Bombers team at 2-6 heading into Regina at 2-6 who are the ones who have now almost reversed that 7-1 record (although Saskatchewan is not much better at 3-5).
In fact, if you're looking for the exact moment when the long downhill skid that led to last weekend's firing of Bombers head coach Paul LaPolice began, it was right about the time those billboards were going up.
Consider: Since this day last year, the Bombers are an abysmal 6-14 (4-8, including playoffs, to finish last season and 2-6 to start this one).
Now, yes, one of those wins last year was in the 2011 East Final and it propelled Winnipeg into the Grey Cup game. But any way you look at it, the cold hard reality of wins and losses would suggest that what was a pretty good football team became a pretty lousy football team right about this time last year.
Now, in firing LaPolice, general manager Joe Mack put a lot of the blame for the team's failings this season on a struggling offence. But when you take apart the numbers and statistically compare this team right now to this team at this exact same point last season, what emerges is a more complicated truth that points the finger of blame at least as much at the failings of Winnipeg's defence this season as what the offence has failed to do.
Indeed, in some ways — and surprisingly so, given the club's record right now — Winnipeg's offence is actually marginally better at this point this season, throwing for more yards through eight games this year (2,225 vs. 1,943) and also averaging a few more yards total offence every game (348.9 vs. 331.2).
But while those numbers might look better, Bombers guard Steve Morley said Friday that any small improvement has come only in the last couple weeks. "I do think we have taken some steps lately with (QB) Joey (Elliott) to get some positive yards," said Morley. "And we've gotten better, too, as an O-line at running the ball."
Now, it bears pointing out that some of the improvement this season came in the form of late "garbage yards" that the Winnipeg offence accumulated when they were being blown out, notably in games in Edmonton and at home against Montreal.
And it also bears pointing out that last year's offence, even when the team was 7-1, was lousy and the source of much wringing of hands, so it's not like they've improved on much this year.
And finally, none of the small improvements excuses the failings of the offence in other important ways this season — beginning with turnovers, where Winnipeg has gone from being the very best in the CFL at this point last season, coughing the ball up just 10 times in eight games, to the very worst this season, with a leagueleading 21 giveaways.
Not surprisingly, that's directly led both to Winnipeg scoring less points this season as compared to last (178 vs. 212) and also giving up a lot more points (244 vs. 157).
But while some of the points against this season can be explained away by offensive turnovers and the failure of the offence to put together sustained drives to give the defence a rest, the statistical portrait that emerges also shows clearly that Winnipeg's defence — guided by the man who Mack has entrusted as LaPolice's replacement, Tim Burke — has had, by far, the more precipitous decline year over year.
Burke's defence has given up a startling number more yards so far this season (408.8, on average, as compared to 301.7 in 2011); they've given up almost twice as many touchdowns (23 vs. 13), a shocking number of those through the air (a league-worst 18 this season, as compared to league-best seven last season); and they've forced a lot less turnovers, (21 vs. 33).
No excuses, says Jovon Johnson, whose inconsistent play this year after a historic CFL Most Outstanding Defensive Player award in 2011 in some ways embodies the defensive decline in 2012.
"More than anything this season, we've made more mental mistakes," said Johnson. "When you're in the wrong place, when you're in blown coverages, that's where the problems happen.
"That's why we're 2-6 right now and last year we were 7-1... There are no excuses. The stats are what they are." And one former Bombers player — current Saskatchewan defensive end Odell Willis, who was leading the CFL in sacks with nine for Winnipeg at this point last season — says the stats are what they are because of what the Bombers front office did and didn't do in the off-season.
"When you get rid of all of your marquee players and don't bring anyone in, the results show," Willis told Regina Leader-Post beat writer Murray Mc-Cormick on Friday.
"I'm not saying anything bad on the organization or talking bad about them. In this business or the NFL or hockey … when you let your marquee and core players on your team go and not have anyone to replace them, it's hard to put wins together.''

Amid the post-Bernanke rubble, there are probably a few people sparing time from hedging their interest rate risk to look for bargains.
Look no further: the gold miners are cheap! I mean, really cheap. Gold has tumbled a long way from its peak, but miners have fallen much further – and are now trading at an extraordinarily low multiple of the gold price. This chart shows the ratio of the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners index of small miners, and of the Arca Gold Bugs index of larger miners, to the gold price.
Larger miners are now the cheapest relative to gold they've been since the aftermath of the dotcom bubble, when they proved a serious bargain. The index of junior miners only started in 2004, but their prices are testing the low relative to gold reached after Lehman Brothers collapsed – after which they offered some of the best returns of any stocks anywhere.

Cystic Fibrosis
CF at 30?
I just turned 30 and have had a life of constant sinus infections - now being at least once a month, fatigue to the point where I am taking adderall, very low blood pressure, extreme difficulty with digestive system that got worse with age including painful gas bloating, vomiting, all of which would keep me up through the night and large lumpy and/or skinny very light colored floating stool, over sweating, very thin in weight and can eat and eat and not gain, I am NOT coughing though unless I get a sinus infection, at least once a week I will feel a deflating sensation that makes me loose my breath for a couple of seconds. On my father`s side, my Aunt and Uncle died in their mid thirties of CF. I have never been tested for it thinking it would have been worse by now if I had it. Vermont is the only state that does not have a CF clinic/specialists...could I get accurate testing and help by a pulmonary physician? Should I worry about it at the age of 30? Thank you.
Your pulmonary symptoms do not sound like CF, but sinuses can be. With intestinal symptoms and sinus symptoms, CF is at least a consideration. Sweat chloride testing (a CF skin test) is only accurately done at a CF certified lab. Ambry Corporation does extensive and complete genetic testing from blood, and this can be sent by any lab, though neither genetics nor sweat chloride without evaluation by an expert is really satisfactory.
I think it might be worth your time to see a physician with good experience in CF diagnosis and care, probably at an accredited center. Your age is NOT a reason to not do the testing.

The obstacle facing all but one woman at the Australian Open is as formidable and imposing as any in the history of the sport.
Serena Williams is so strong, so good and so determined that only extraordinary bad luck will prevent her from winning her 18th grand slam singles title.
But on a first day that failed to produce an obvious threat to Williams' claim on a title she has won five times, a possible challenger emerged.
Ana Ivanovic, a former world No.1 and a French Open winner, played well enough in her first-round match at the Open on Monday to encourage her to at least think about knocking over the best player in the world.
"It's tennis, it can go either way," Ivanovic said.
"Serena is definitely the hot favourite. She's been playing amazing tennis, she's on top of the women's game. There's no doubt about that.
"But I think a lot of girls are up for the challenge ... you just want to go out there and give your best and you never know what can happen on any given day."
For Ivanovic, there have been few "given days" since her French Open triumph in 2008.
In the 22 grand slam championships she's played since, the 26-year-old made only one quarter-final.
But the 14th seed won her first tournament in two years last weekend and carried the form into the first round of the Open where she scored a comprehensive 6-4 6-4 win over Dutchwoman Kiki Bertens.
Ivanovic was joined in the second round by China's two-time Australian Open runner-up Li Na, the beaten finalist last year and the closest player from the top half of the draw to Williams.
Li had an even easier day, beating Ana Konjuh of Croatia 6-2 6-0 in only 61 minutes and earning a second-round meeting with Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic, a winner in three sets over veteran Japanese Kimiko Date-Krumm.
Li's win came in her first match at the Open since she lost last year's final to Victoria Azarenka, who begins her 2014 campaign on Tuesday.
Li said she knows nothing about Bencic.
"I know she played Kimiko today, but I had to prepare for my match so I didn't really see much - so I will try to find it on the internet," Li said.
Li had the advantage of playing in relatively mild conditions that are expected to be followed by 40C-plus temperatures on Tuesday.
"It was very lucky we play today - tomorrow is the worst," she said.
The biggest upset on the opening day came late when Thailand's world No.88 Luksika Kumkhum removed Czech sixth seed Petra Kvitova 6-2 1-6 6-4 at Margaret Court Arena.
Italian seventh seed Sara Errani also crashed out, losing 6-3 6-2 to German Julia Goerges.
In other matches, 22nd seed Ekaterina Makarova of Russia beat the unseeded Venus Williams 2-6 6-4 6-4, while American Irina Falconi crushed Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues 6-3 6-1.
Ninth seed Angelique Kerber of Germany beat Australia's Jarmila Gajdosova 6-3 0-6 6-2 and Belgian 18th seed Kirsten Flipkens defeated Britain's Laura Robson 6-3 6-0.
The first Australian victory at the Open came from the unseeded Casey Dellacqua, who accounted for Russia's Vera Zvonareva 6-2 6-2.

Third Year MFA Students in Acting at Columbia Will Be Eligible for Actors Equity Association Membership
The Theatre Program at Columbia University School of the Arts and the Classic Stage Company (CSC) announced an agreement to make all third-year MFA students in Acting at Columbia eligible to join Actors Equity Association (AEA). In addition, two MFA students in Stage Management each year will be eligible to join. This agreement makes The Oscar Hammerstein II Center for Theatre Studies at Columbia the first in New York to offer this invaluable bridge to the field.
"This is a major step forward for the Acting concentration and, of course, for the entire Theatre Program at Columbia," said Christian Parker, the program's chair. "Joining AEA will allow our young actors access to professional opportunities otherwise closed to them, and to capitalize more quickly on the benefits union membership confers."
All students who choose to be part of CSC's Young Company will be supported by the School of the Arts and the Theatre Program in joining the union, either as principal cast or as understudies. Students will perform in a Shakespeare production at CSC's downtown New York City home in the spring of their third year, and through their participation in this joint venture, will be eligible to join the union. In addition, two Stage Management students will be eligible annually to join AEA through their participation in the program.
"We are so pleased to continue to deepen our relationship with Columbia's extraordinary actor training program," said Brian Kulick, Artistic Director for Classic Stage Company."Their contribution to our Shakespeare for Young Audiences initiative has, in the past eight years, touched the lives of over 12,000 underserved New York City High School students from all five boroughs, introducing many of them to Shakespeare and theatre for the very first time. I cannot think of better Ambassadors to the Arts then these wonderful young actors from Columbia, whose energy and diversity rhyme with the city we live in."
"I am so pleased we have forged a relationship with Classic Stage that creates such an unprecedented opportunity for our talented acting and stage management students," said Carol Becker, Dean of the School of the Arts."It will help them immeasurably as they leave the Theatre Program and head out into the world as professionals. This will immediately become a real calling card for the Program, the School and Columbia University."
Applications for Columbia's MFA Theatre Program are now being accepted for matriculation in Fall 2013. The application deadline is January 2, 2013, except for the Theatre Directing concentration, which has an application deadline of December 3, 2012. Visit http://arts.columbia.edu/application-admissions-policies for details about applying.

MILITARY jets escorted a plane into Stansted Airport as part of a major training exercise in Essex.
Emergency procedures are being tested to make sure the county is ready should a serious disaster strike.
A spokesman for Essex Police said: "Essex Police is engaged in a safety and security exercise.
"Military jets have been deployed from RAF Coningsby as part of this exercise.
"There is no threat to the public and no need to be concerned.
"The exercise has been a year in the planning and is part of ongoing national emergency planning procedure testing."
The Home Office, Ministry of Defence, Essex Police, Essex County Fire and Rescue Service and other agencies are all taking part using airport buildings and a plane.
The Essex Police spokesman said: "This exercise forms an integral part of a national training programme and is a necessary and important test of contingency plans.
"It provides invaluable training and experience for all participants."
A spokesman for Stansted Airport said: "We can confirm that Essex Police Force and other Forces in the region, in conjunction with other responders are taking part in a multi-agency, safety and security exercise from June 11 to 13 to test major incident contingency plans.
"There is a legal responsibility under the Civil Contingencies Act to regularly test these plans through the use of an exercise."
The exercise concludes tomorrow.

Three generationsMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
Grandpa Jones says:
`My son Adam is 24 years younger than me and 35 years older than my grandson, Joey. Together our total ages add up to 100.` Can you figure out the age of each one of them?
AnswerGrandpa Jones was 24 when Adam was born and Joey was born 35 years later, so Grandpa has to be at least 59 years old. Add this to Adam`s age at Joey`s birth to get a total age of 94. If Joey was 1 year old, the total combined ages would be 97 (adding 1 year to every age.) But, if Joey is 2 years old then Grandpa would be 61 and Adam would be 37 and their combined ages would be 100.

Love of Kate's Life...Schmoopy)
that was born on
March 30, 2007
and went home with Kate in August of 2007 (at about 4 ½ months old.)
My "biological" parents are
Dancing N Da Dark (Tango)(
Finding Juneau (Janet)
Mia was a rescue and has been loved and cared for by Kate since December 2000. Mia is the sweetest, kindest, most loveable dog ever! We try to play with her, and every now and then, she'll acquiesce but for the most part, Mia just likes her comfort (Kate's bed or couch are her preferable places.) We understand she's an older gal, so we ask her to play and if she doesn't want to, we know to leave her alone.
Sassy, another beautiful

One Hot Little Number)
, was born
July 9, 2008
and joined our family in September 2008 at 8 weeks old. We flew out to California for Ruth's reunion and to pick her up. Most of the time, she is sooo much fun!! Admittedly, there are times where she truly lives up to her name! Keep an eye out for my little girl, as she will be shown!
Sassy's biological parents are
Juneau Arnold
(father) and
Dare Me Not (Darcy)
If you haven't been able to tell just how adored we are by Kate - just take a look through some of our pictures! (she must take pictures of us just about every day!)
We would be remiss if we didn't mention Dakota (big sad sigh). Dakota was a rescue that joined Kate's family in May of 2007. He was about a year and one month old at that time. Dakota was severely neglected and we believe likely abused. It took him a little while to adjust as he was scared to death of everyone and everything but once he did he was one of the most loveable, cutest dogs ever (although not too good with strangers). I was fortunate enough to meet Dakota in September of 2007 and we just about instantaneously became the best of friends! Dakota and I played constantly and snuggled together too! Unfortunately, while being boarded for a few days, on July 13, 2008 Dakota allegedly broke free of a slip lead while being walked, ran away quickly (in the direction of his home) and unfortunately was found later that evening although it was too late. You can imagine how devastated Kate was; how devastated we all were. But enough with sadness, we like to reflect on all the good memories we have of Dakota – which were many!! He was my best friend for almost a year and we will never forget him! Love you Dakota!!
We love our life and our Kate!

Quotes #5Language brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
In this teaser you are to try and discover the quotation concealed in the lines. The quote has been broken up into two-letter fragments. Furthermore, I have removed any punctuation and jumbled the two-letter fragments about so the word order has been disarranged. You have to rearrange the quotation and decide where the words begin and where they end. Good luck!

The DC cupcake craze has not seemed to dissipate over the past few years. The cupcakeries are still thriving in the district. This recipe was posted on the Obama Foodorama website in 2009. Since we are still enjoying cupcakes in the district, a recipe fit for the president seems most appropriate. The recipe uses honey instead of refined white sugar as a sweetener. The amount of butter used is also minimal, so these sweeties aren't too bad for you! Please find the recipe below. We will definitely be adding this recipe to be adding these to our continental breakfast repertoire.
1/4 cup softened butter
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup honey
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup honey
3 Tbsp. lemon juice
1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake papers.
2. In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, on high speed. Mix in honey, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until blended, on medium speed.
3. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, then mix into the batter until just blended. Scoop the batter into the cupcake cups evenly.
4. Bake for about 20 minutes; cupcakes are done when tops spring back lightly to the touch.
Prepare icing
In a small sauce pan, whisk ingredients over medium heat until sugars dissolve together; keep whisking to avoid clumps. Using a spoon, drizzle over the tops of cupcakes, or carefully pour over cupcakes.
Makes one dozen cupcakes.
