The Hurry Up is your nightcap of Ohio State recruiting news, catching you up on the day's events with an ear on the ground for what's next.
2016 Ohio State signee Nick Bosa suffered a knee injury in late October that cost him a chance to play in a third straight state title win, but it appears it's unlikely to stop him from being ready to line up for the Buckeyes when he gets to campus.
"(Nick is) right on schedule," John Bosa, Nick's father told Eleven Warriors. "He should be full go near camp time. Ohio State will evaluate when he gets up there and Dr. James Andrews will see him before he goes (to Columbus) in June."
Nick's rehab has, as you'd expect for an athlete of his caliber, been going very well. He's working hard day in and day out, according to his father.
"He's feeling very strong right now, he hasn't missed one knee therapy session. I'm sure when he gets there in June they will implement a plan predicated around his knee," the elder Bosa said of his youngest son. "(He) works upper body on all other days. He's 269 pounds and benched 225 pounds 29 times and could have kept going. He's a beast."
Good news, Buckeye fans, the Lil' Bear is on his way and it appears he'll be ready to go full-speed ahead.
One of the top running backs in the 2018 class, Indianapolis' Markese Stepp visited Ohio State twice in 2015 (for the Western Michigan and Michigan State games), and was a two-time summer camp participant with the Buckeyes, but an offer hasn't come his way yet. After his newest offer, expect that to change, and soon.
Extremely Blessed and Excited to receive an offer from The University of Notre Dame!!! #IrishNightmare pic.twitter.com/MThscQ55p0
— Markese Stepp (@markese_stepp) February 26, 2016
Stepp was offered by Michigan State on Wednesday, and today's offer from Notre Dame will change his recruitment. They are the proverbial "dream school" and unlike most cases where that term is lobbed around, it's worth watching closely here because Stepp is from Indiana and not from a state thousands of miles away.
As far as the Buckeyes go, Stepp says he had planned a trip to Columbus this weekend, but will instead head to Michigan State. The Buckeyes decided not to have a junior weekend yet, and with 15 of his former players in Indianapolis this weekend, it makes sense for Urban Meyer to not be in Columbus. He's talked to running backs' coach Tony Alford about an alternative date.
"(Coach) Alford wants me to come up there for a spring practice," Stepp, whose primary recruiter has been Kerry Coombs. "I was going to go there this weekend and I'm hoping to get there soon."
While the 6-foot-tall, 205-pounder doesn't deny his affinity for the Irish, he says he's trying to look at the big picture in his recruiting process and not let one offer this early sway him from checking all options.
"I'm just working to remain humble," Stepp said of what's sure to become a wild few months. "I need to just go with the process, take a look at all the schools and see what's the best fit for me. The academic side, what my family thinks, the whole thing."
Speaking of 2018 running backs, it's been a while since we've checked in on Woodbridge, Virginia's Ricky Slade.
The country's second-ranked 2018 all-purpose back, offered by Ohio State last year, has been staying busy in recruiting, including a recent trip to Penn State that made a big impact on the Slade family.
"The whole (Penn State) staff ate lunch with him and walked around the facilities," a source told 11W. "They made him and his dad feel welcome."
If you recall, Slade–from CD Hylton High School–is a former teammate of Ohio State redshirt freshman lineman Matt Burrell, who was very high on Penn State at one point in his recruiting process. The Buckeyes are hoping that relationship and Larry Johnson's impact can keep Slade looking in their direction.
"Dad loves Larry Johnson," the source added. "He and Matt are still very close. He wants to visit Columbus on a day that's not a junior day, he's aiming for a spring practice."
Tomorrow, a trio of Ohio State's top targets will be headed to Penn State for the Nits' Junior Day festivities. Defensive backs Amir Riep and Lamont Wade are scheduled to join Princeton, New Jersey defensive tackle Fred Hansard and a slew of other recruits in what is expected to be Penn State's premier event for current juniors.
The Nittany Lions are one of about twenty schools who have extended offers to Riep in recent weeks, and the Cincinnati (Colerain) product is expected to check out Notre Dame and Tennessee in March. As for Lamont Wade, Penn State has some catching up to do if they want to keep the state's top defensive back away from the likes of Ohio State and Pittsburgh. The five-star was on hand for Buckeyes' Junior Day in late January and is expected to check out the Panthers following Saturday's Penn State visit.
Despite having two of the nation's top tackles in the fold already, the Buckeyes are still looking to add some more talent to the interior defensive line. At 6-foot-3, 305 pounds, Hansard is one of a handful of candidates to help fill that need. Right now, the four-star's 247sports.com crystal ball is split between Rutgers, Penn State, and Michigan.
Along the offensive line, Maryland's Jordan McNair was contemplating making the trip, but it sounds like the visit may not be happening. McNair's crystal ball currently reads 100% in favor of the Buckeyes.

Date-Ade Episode 1: On Ducks, Dishonesty & That Weird Thing Your Boyfriend Said
In my years of writing at The Frisky, I think I've mentioned (numerous times) that canned dating advice drives me crazy. Love and relationships are not a one-size-fits-all pair of shoes. All of our feet are different! Often our sex and relationship dilemmas are more existential in nature and can't be solved with a simple how-to list. Every now and then, I get a letter from a Frisky reader (or a friend) asking for love advice. I admittedly don't have all the answers, but I've found that I give the best advice when I share my own stories — as weird as they may be — and offer empathy. Inspired by Jack Handy's Deep Thoughts, my new video series Date-Ade offers mini stream of consciousness meditations for stressed daters.
If you have a sex,dating or relationship dilemma that you'd like for me to try to illuminate (no promises), send me your questions at [email protected]

The Australian sharemarket has a lot of ground to make up if it is going to keep pace with history. It is three years since the market peaked at the dizzying height of 6828.7 points on November 1, 2007, and investors who got in at the top are still down 32 per cent, despite the market's 48 per cent rally from the lows of March last year.
The sharemarket has, on average, taken 45 months, or almost four years, to return to its previous peak from the bottom of a bear-market rout, says AMP Capital Investors.
Twenty months since March 2009, investors are nearly halfway there but the market needs to rally 21 per cent in each of the next two years to return investors to the highs of 2007.
Some investors think the market should never have hit those highs. At the time, the dollar was rising, the Reserve Bank tightened interest rates and the commodity boom was in full swing. The rally seemed supported on economic fundamentals and many commentators at the time thought it had further to go.
In retrospect, Constellation Capital Management portfolio manager Richard Morris said the factors driving the market to record highs were obviously not sustainable. "There was a period of very strong corporate profitability, in part driven by unsustainably low debt costs, and it was really as good as it was going to get for Australia."
The years since the peak have been characterised by three distinct periods. In the first year, the market was in free-fall. During the second year, stocks rallied more than 50 per cent. And for the past year, the market has headed sideways. History tells us this is actually pretty normal market behaviour after a crisis. Next year looks promising – the third year after a market hits bottom, the average rally is 15 per cent.
Usually the bigger the bear market, the longer it takes to get back, and the 2008 bear market was second only to the crash that occurred during the stagflation and oil crisis of January 1974 to September 1974, after which it took almost eight years to recover.
AMP Capital Investors' head of investment strategy
In the years since the peak, only information technology gained ground, up 16.1 per cent. Industrial stocks, telecommunications and consumer discretionary were hit by between 45 per cent and 50 per cent. Banks and miners wiped the most points off the index.
The best performers though, were small-cap mining stocks. Minerals explorer
Colonial First State's head of investment market research, Stephen Halmarick, thinks it will be the sectors in which Australia has a competitive advantage that propel the market higher. "Globally, Australia has an advantage in resources and obviously our banking system is still outperforming the rest of the world," he said.
"The strength of the Australian dollar is changing the economy and that's not so good for other export sectors such as tourism and education. What happens with the consumer is going to be interesting."
In recent weeks, merger and acquisition activity has started to pick up, suggesting companies have plenty of cash and are seeing value in the market. At the moment the market is trading on a price-earnings ratio of 13.5 times, slightly below the historical average of about 14 times. When the market was at its peak, it was only trading on a P/E ratio of 16 times – high, but nowhere near the 23 times multiple in March 2000 prior to the dot-com bust.
Mr Morris said it was hard to see the market falling too far from here. unless something disastrous occurred in the domestic economy.
"I don't think the market is overvalued, there's still pockets of value, particularly in stocks with overseas exposure," he said.

There will be Easter Egg hunts and visits with the Easter Bunny in several area towns this weekend. Essex Fells will hold its celebration thismorning, Thursday, April 5.
Caldwell-West Caldwell
Caldwell and West Caldwell residents can celers of the public will vote on the budget in the school board elections set to take place on Tuesday, April 17.
Traditional School Calendar Approved
In other news, following public comment urging the board not to go along with the decision made by the West Essex Regional High School Board on March 26 to change the school calendar, the Essex Fells board voted to approve a 2001-2002 school calendar which deviates from the grade 7-12 West Essex High School.
The conflict in calendar schedules only affects 26 Essex Fells School families or 17 percent of this constituency. Taking note that 83 percent of their families would not be affected by an alternative calendar, the board recommended a more traditional calendar which maintains a February winter break and an April spring break as opposed to one vacation period in March. The first day of school is set for Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2001.
Extended Day Program
Superintendent Catherine Duncan proposed a self-supporting extended day program to be run under the auspices of the Board of Education. The program would provide services to those families needing child care before and after school, beginning at 7:30 am and ending at 6 p.m. An initial preliminary survey identified 23 students who would use this program, not including incoming kindergartners.
Duncan said the anticipated costs would include a registration fee for parents as well as a commitment of at least five hours per week at a rate of $5 per hour.
The vote to approve this program was tabled to the next Board of Education meeting in order to investigate check-in and check-out procedures and a possible attorney review.
Teacher Receives Fulbright
Duncan also announced that faculty member Cheryl Best was awarded the Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholarship to travel to Japan this summer. While there she will study the methodology of science education in Japan with an emphasis on environmental education.

The teasers of the upcoming movie Phata Poster Nikhla Hero already reveal that Shahid Kapoor is high on action. We hear that during one of the shoots, the actor's bike's brakes failed.
In this Rajkumar Santoshi movie, the cute chocolate boy is paired opposite Ileana D'Cruz. The movie stars Shahid in quite a lot of action scenes. We have even seen the poster which has the actor tearing through a huge poster.
Shahid had a bike scare while shooting for one of the action-chase sequences. In one scene, the actor was supposed to ride a bike at the speed of 120 kmph. There are always some accidents that happen on the sets and on the Phata Poster Nikhla Hero sets, the bike brakes failed. This created a lot of panic but Shahid was quick and helped himself.
"One of the brakes failed and one of the handles was broken. While shooting, the bike skid and got damaged. I have been riding bikes for 10 years now, so that helped me gain control. Thankfully, I managed to get all the shots right," explained Shahid.
"Action is the most difficult genre for an actor. It's extremely tiring so we need to be very fit. In fact, even after finishing the shoot, I'd go and train some more," he added.
Shahid has worked out quite rigorously to get the required physique in the movie. All the work out sessions have given him a good result. Phata Poster Nikhla Hero will hit the theatres on September 20.

Vegetarian households need to pay extra attention to the youngest family members. Although children have no problem eating carrots and celery sticks, they still need to maintain a balanced health and nutrition plan to keep their protein levels within a safe range. Here's how to add extra protein to a child's vegetarian diet.
High Protein Snacks
Kids enjoy and often need an after-school snack. This fuels their minds to focus on after-school chores and homework. Offer kids easy-to-grab snacks such as a hard-boiled egg, string cheese, or a handful of raw almonds. These add extra protein to a child's diet without the extra sugar and calories that are found hiding in traditional snack-size granola bars or protein bars.
Enjoying Legumes
Add protein to traditional vegetarian dinners by using legumes. Peas, lentils, and beans are easy to mix into cold salads, stews, and vegetable soups. Mash cooked lentils and add traditional meatloaf seasoning and oatmeal to thicken the legumes. Bake it meatloaf-style for a protein-packed entrée.
Adding Grains
Whole grains are a rich source of protein and an excellent part of a child's health and nutrition plan. Serve stir-fry vegetables or thick, vegetable-packed pasta sauce over a bed of whole-grain brown rice. Try making a cold salad from cooked quinoa, corn, diced bell peppers, and a sweet onion salad dressing.
Ways to Eat Nuts
One of the easiest ways to add protein to a child's diet is nuts. Every kid loves a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But why not mix things up and add a new flavor to the menu by using cashew butter or almond butter? Nuts are also great as a salad topper. They can be blended in smoothies or dipped in chocolate for a simple dessert.
Be an advocate for proper vegetarian health and nutrition by writing to local and national decision-makers to promote children's nutritional needs.

Teams have climbed out of 2-0 holes in the Stanley Cup playoffs, although the number is only 37 out of 280 all-time in best-of-seven series.
The Devils did it against Boston in 1994, in the series before the epic Eastern Conference final with the Rangers — also losing the first two at home that year. The Rangers did it the following season, '96, losing the first two at home and having to go to Montreal, where they never used to win, and win Games 3, 4 and 6.
So it ain't completely over, and there will be mucho angst if the Devils win Game 3. Just trying to shoot down your overconfidence there.
 Anyway, for more — or what little there is on the Lamoriello vs. the officials fallout from Game 2, here is the Bergen Record's story.
Brian Heyman wrote the game story in The Journal News and LoHud.com, and here it is.
Last and least, here's the column I wrote last night about how nasty the series turned. That's Stanley Cup hockey.
I do think Backman's two-hander to Parise's chops will be reviewed and he might sit out a game suspension. I thought he was lucky he didn't get five and a game misconduct instead of four minutes.

p226 .22lr kit vs. Walther p22
Ok, So I am looking for some sort of .22lr pistol, I have a p226 in .40S&W.
Should I consider the .22lr conversion kit over another pistol? I would like to stay in the $350.00 or less range, I can find a kit with threaded barrel for about $270, But I don't know if I need the threaded barrel as I don't have a suppressor, But one never knows.
I don't know anyone who has a conversion kit and I know some of the drawbacks of the p22, Just looking for a little guidance.
I would be open to other pistols in the $350- range if anyone had a thought.
Please and thank you.
ive got the sig p220 conversion for 22lr. highly recomend it. its the only pistol conversion ive kept cuz it works and works damn well.
the 22/45 threaded barrel works very well with a few simple mods
the sig/gsg 1911-22 works very well too.
those are the only full size i can honestly recomend
oh and get the threaded version. supressors are fun!!
silencerco sparrow on 22/45 250 rounds 10 yards
p226 .22lr kit
I can not comment on the Walther but I do have a P226 in 9mm/ 22lr.
The 9 mm top end has been completely reliable and accurate I have had absolutely no malfunctions with this unit.
The .22 top end was a little different, this was my own fault and not the pistol. My dealer advised me to break in the .22 with good quality high velocity ammunition, I did not. When I got a chance to shoot it all I had on hand was Fed.bulk pack,and the reliability was less than impressive. Generally this was one or two fail to feed per mag., due to the slide not traveling all the way to the back. This problem went away after about 300 rounds and for the next 300 there have been no malfunctions even using the same bulk pak ammo.
Over all the 226 is a very impressive combination pistol.
I had a Sig P226 22lr and found it to be a very good rimfire. There were two things I didn't like however:
1) Mine had some minor issues with cycling some bulk ammo.
2) I didn't like the cost and scarcity of adding extra mags.
If a P226 centerfire is your primary carry/duty/defense sidearm, I think it's a no-brainer to go with the Sig. If you go this route try the Federal semi-auto bulk (white & black box, 325ct). It ran well in mine.
But I decided I'd rather just sell my $300 Sig kit and invest about $450 in a dedicated rimfire from Ruger or Browning (it'll be my next addition). The Walther is also supposed to be a solid little gun.
2 guns are better than one IMO.
Thanks again all.
Good info on the high velocity ammo for a break in period, I hav no idea what kind of info would come with the conversion kit.
My p226 is not my daily carry, I leave that up to a XD40sc.
I agree sometimes 2 guns are better than one, Like I mentioned that my p226 isn't my daily, so I don't need it for trigger control or anything.
My main concern was ammo cost, However, My wife asked me how much .40S&W ammo I could buy for $300+ :rolleyes: dangded women!
*be prepaired to pay big price for winning logic argument...
Walther sux. Don't waste your money.

A BID to increase council tax by more than £20 a year for households across Worcestershire has been rejected.
The budget for 2013/14 was approved after a fierce debate at County Hall yesterday, with the ruling Conservative leadership insisting it would be "scandalous" to ask people to pay more.
The county council has pledged to boost spending on social care and roads, but is making cuts of £20 million elsewhere.
The council's Labour group wanted a 1.99 per cent rates hike (£20.64 a year) and in return would have spent £500,000 on restoring axed bus services and £1 million extra on youth provision.
They also wanted the remainder of the £2.1m it would raise to go towards extending the pensioners bus pass scheme so they could use it before 9.30am.
But it was rejected by the controlling group, despite Labour warnings the budget was "cutting the throats of the people of Worcestershire".
Councillor Peter McDonald, Labour group leader, said: "This Tory controlling group has no compassion, empathy or an ounce of conscience for their actions - you've got an obsession with cuts."
Councillor Alan Amos, Labour's deputy leader, said a 1.99 per cent rise would cost each household "40p a week" for better services.
"We all know that loneliness is one of the biggest problems for the elderly - how society treats its elderly is a true reflection of society itself," he said.
In response the Conservatives said Labour was "ignoring public opinion" after recent surveys revealed 87 per cent of residents favoured a freeze.
Councillor David Thain, a Tory, said: "Why don't you get out and talk to people and see what they want, instead of using this tired rhetoric."
The leader, councillor Adrian Hardman, added: "All you understand is tax and spend - we are responding to what people tell us they want."
During the debate the Lib Dems, which also backed a freeze, called for two cabinet posts to be axed and street lights to be dimmed in order to free up cash for lifting the lowest County Hall pay grade from £6.47 an hour to £6.84, and for a better bus pass scheme for young people.
That was also defeated after a vote, with Coun Hardman saying improving upon bus passes for teenagers is "not a priority."
The vote means the average band D council tax bill is set to stay at its current level of around £1,441 a year.
The exact rates for each part of Worcestershire may change by around £3 a year depending on if any district councils increase their charges, with votes due this month.

Adairsville, Ga. 'Todays guests can thank Prince Hubertus Fugger of Bavaria for the transformation of this luxury resort an hour northwest of Atlanta. Engaged by the propertys history, Fugger bought the land in 1988, spent more than $3.5 million to restore the elaborate gardens planted a century and a half earlier, and opened them to the public in 1992. Five years later, Barnsley Gardens became Barnsley Gardens Resort with the addition of 33 English-style guest cottages, a Jim Fazio-designed golf course called The General, and other activities, including fishing, horseback riding and sporting clays.
The original owner, Godfrey Barnsley, would have been proud, for he intended the estate to be a place of respite. Barnsley, an English cotton baron, was married to Julia Scarborough, a shipping heiress from Savannah, Georgia. When Julia fell sick, Barnsley moved her to north Georgia, hoping she would benefit from the gentler climate, but she died of consumption before the gardens and luxury manor he envisioned were completed.
According to legend, Julia appeared to Godfrey in the gardens a year after her death and told him to finish the work for their six children and future generations. He did finish, building a mansion and a garden inspired by the principles of Andrew Jackson Downing, designer of the White House grounds and the Washington Mall. But Barnsley soon lost his fortune in the Civil War, and Union soldiers ransacked the estate, helping themselves to the manors imported furnishings, Italian marble and other treasures. Godfreys daughter Julia struggled to rebuild the property, but the sad saga continued when a tornado blew the roof off the manor in 1906. (Julia, incidentally, is said to be Margaret Mitchells inspiration for the character of Scarlett OHara in Gone with the Wind.) In 1935, one of Godfreys great-grandsons murdered his brother during an argument over control of the property. Barnsley descendents continued to occupy the estate until it was sold at auction in 1942.
The property sat in disrepair until the arrival of Fugger, who also looked to Downings writings when building the resorts pedestrian village. Like spokes on a wheel, footpaths extend from the town hall. The grand Woodlands clubhouse sits at the southern edge of the village, while on the northwestern perimeter are the mansion ruins, gardens and the resorts fine-dining restaurant, Rice House.
Fugger, who sold the property to local investors in 2004, was so intent on maintaining the Downing-inspired gardens that he hired a horticulturalist to travel the country with Barnsleys receipts, searching for the same plants. The result is a stunning array of boxwoods, more than 140 species of roses and the largest collection of private conifers in the Southeast, with more than 80 species of pine dating to the 1850s.
On crisp fall afternoons, these grounds beg to be explored on foot. The cottage-lined streets and paths give way to open, rolling fields, which in turn lead up to wooded ridges criss-crossed by 12 miles of hiking trails. Evenings offer pleasant outings as well: Many guests gather at the Bavarian Beer Garden, where an open fire pit is the staging area for staff-led walking tours punctuated by ghost stories from the estates sometimes-spooky past.
During the day, golfers can negotiate Fazios broad-shouldered 7,189-yard layout, routed along 378 acres of woodland. There are a number of dogleg holes and semiblind tee shots'a repeat round is crucial for familiarization'but the challenge is clear on an outstanding set of par 3s. Three of four play downhill, including the 240-yard 8th and the 227-yard 14th, both tumbling nearly 100 feet from tee to green.
Barnsleys homey cottages come with a private porch and rocking chairs, heart-of-pine floors, wood-burning fireplace and four-poster feather beds dressed in Egyptian linens. Adding a personal touch to each guests stay is Denise Webb, otherwise known as the Fairy Godmother. Employed as a sort of down-home concierge, Webb describes her mission as seeking to overwhelm guests with good things. That can mean everything from in-room gifts like cards, stuffed animals and rose petal-strewn floors, to learning someones favorite afternoon snack and personally delivering it to their cottage. Sadly, there is much pain in this propertys past. But thanks to the efforts of people like Prince Fugger and the Fairy Godmother, only the good life abounds at Barnsley Gardens these days.

text: 2. China Southern Airlines is based in Guangzhou and claims to be China's largest airline. The stock gained 9.7% in the past week. Both the analysts covering the stock give it a hold rating. There are no sell ratings on the stock. Analysts polled by Bloomberg have an average 12-month price target of $41.67, up 58.7% from recent levels. Last week, the company won $9.25 billion in financial support from the National Development Bank for the next five years. The airline will use the loan for acquisitions and investment banking, as well as for repaying working capital and other purposes. Additionally, it emerged last week that the airline has ordered 20 Embraer ( ERJ) 190 regional jets powered by General Electric ( GE) engines. The carrier has announced plans to increase flights to the Tibetan capital Lhasa from the current four services a day to at least 10 times a day by 2015. 1. China Sunergy designs, develops, manufactures and sells solar cells through its wholly owned subsidiary. CSUN produces both monocrystalline and multicrystalline silicon solar cells and selective emitter cells, which are an improved version of the P-type solar cells. The stock leaped 31.3% last week. On June 22, Collins Stewart assigned a buy rating to the stock with a price target of $3.15, an increase of 50% from current levels. The company updated its guidance for the second quarter and fiscal 2011 last week. For second-quarter 2011, the company expects its solar module shipments to range from 100 MW to 110 MW. For full year 2011, it pegs shipments between 580 MW and 600 MW. Meanwhile, CSUN's fully owned subsidiaries China Sunergy (HK) and China Sunergy (Nanjing) are seeking to raise annual silicon cell production capacity by co-investing $0.28 billion in a 1GW solar cells expansion project in Yangzhou City in China's Jiangsu Province.

Photo gallery: La Mirada vs St. Francis
LA MIRADA - There's nothing complex about the La Mirada High School football team's offensive attack.
The Matadores believe they can run against anybody, and they continued to prove the point Friday night.
Adam Carrasco ran for 220 yards and two touchdowns and host La Mirada rolled up 307 yards rushing to rally for a 28-21 victory over St. Francis in a nonleague game.
The Matadores (3-1), also receiving 181 yards passing from Gerry Myres, got a key fumble recovery from Tyler Hallock at the La Mirada 26 with 3:55 left to play to preserve the victory.
La Mirada's Johnny Hills, the team's leading rusher coming into the game, injured his ankle in the first quarter and did not return.
St. Francis, getting 221 yards passing and three touchdowns from Jared Lebowitz, slipped to 2-1.
"We thought we had an advantage with our offensive line, being big," La Mirada coach Mike Moschetti said. "It really hurt us when Johnny Hills went down. It was emotionally draining to see him on the ground.
"But I'm proud of our defense, our offensive line. They stepped up when St. Francis knew we were going to run the ball, and that's what good teams do to win a game."
The Matadores opened the third quarter with a 17-play, 80-yard drive to take a 21-15 lead following a 1-yard run by Carrasco with 3:34 left in the quarter.
The Matadores, after Lebowitz tied it at 21 with a 26-yard pass to Matt Gonzalez early in the fourth quarter, then used another 80-yard drive for the lead.
It was mostly Carrasco, who had a 44-yard run to the Golden Knights' 12 before scoring from there with a run for a 28-21 advantage with 5:37 left.
St. Francis then drove to La Mirada's 26 before Hallock's fumble recovery.
Early on, La Mirada, which dominated traditional powers St. Paul and La Habra, looked like it might do the same to the Golden Knights.
But St. Francis knows all about coming back in big games, and showed it after falling behind 14-0 during the first seven minutes.
Lebowitz, who threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns in a 29-22 win at Righetti last week, found his rhythm near the end of the quarter.
He hit John Carroll for 33 yards to the La Mirada 28 before hooking up with Joe Mudie for 12 yards to cut the deficit to 14-6 with 3:17 left in the quarter. Daniel Kawamura was stopped short on the conversion.
The Golden Knights, after a Mark Verso 28-yard field goal made it 14-9 early in the second, then went ahead 15-14 in the final minute of the half, and once again it was Lebowitz with the heroics.
The senior connected on passes of 25 and 22 yards to the Matadores' 7 before hitting Carroll with a 7-yard look-in pass for the score. Lebowitz mis-fired on the conversion to keep it at 15-14 with 15 seconds left in the half.
"Our guys showed character," St. Francis coach Jim Binds said. "They showed tonight, getting down 14 to zip and coming back to take the lead.
"If it wasn't for a couple of turnovers in the second half, it could have been a different story."
La Mirada had built a 14-0 lead on two long plays in the first quarter.
Myres tossed a hitch pass to Dallis Shipp, who turned it into a 58-yard catch and run for a 7-0 lead with 8:14 left in the quarter.
Backup quarterback Kevin Dillman, in wildcat formation, then took a draw up the middle for 38 yards and a 14-0 lead with 4:53 in the quarter.

Needle Sharing and HIV Transmission: A Model with Markets and Purposive Behavior
Without well designed empirical studies, mathematical models are an important way to use data on needle infection for inferences about human infection. We develop a model with explicit behavioral foundations to explore an array of policy interventions related to HIV transmission among IDU. In our model, needle exchanges affect the spread of HIV in three ways: more HIV-negative IDUs use new needles instead of old ones; needles are retired after fewer uses; and the proportion of HIV-positive IDUs among users of both old and new needles rises owing to sorting effects. The first and second effects reduce the long-run incidence of HIV, while the third effect works in the opposite direction. We compare the results of our model with those of Kaplan and O'Keefe (1993) that is the foundation of many later models of HIV transmission among IDU.

i-Station 26
Buy Now...
click image to enlarge
The i-Station 26 from Logic3 measures a maximum of 28cm long 12.5cm tall and thickness has a maximum of 16cm with the retractable iPod out and power adapter lead inserted.
This is not just a basic stereo system as it has two speakers front facing and a sub woofer rear facing to give decent sound.
The top has a total of nine bar buttons to control the unit and there is also a fourteen button remote control that duplicates the controls. There is a 5x1.3cm display mounted bottom right of the unit's front that displays the time when switched to standby. Both the internal time save battery and the remote battery are the circular clock type and praise be both are supplied, so at least here the 'batteries not included' note is not applicable here.
When switched on the display shows the mode on the left side and with iPod or Auxilery the time and with FM radio the frequency, after a few seconds this changes to the clock with FM on the right side of the display.
By using the snooze button you can intensify or dim the display (three different settings) it can seem very bright in a darkened room at night without this feature.
The initial setup could have been easier there is one button on the back to the right of the power input this has to be pressed before you start pressing various buttons on the top to set the clock. Although there are ample words and illustrations on the eight pages in the Instruction Manual that are in English following them is a one step at a time process. Yes you probably only set the time once – well twice a year as I assume it will not update when the clocks change – but I suspect you will need the instructions later in the year to update the clock.
This is one drawback of only having FM radio in that it does not seen to update the clock automatically as a DAB unit would. With the extra quality of the sub woofer having DAB as well might have a more perfect listenable sound.
There are six Presets and while setting these is easier than setting the clock keep the manual as you will probably need it.
Using Auxiliary mode just uses the unit as an amplifier and the 3.5mm socket is to the left of the power input in the rear.
They is a cradle provided for an iPhone that fits over the base that works with all iPods (apart from the shuffle).
I was happy with the sound from my iPod and MP3 player. The sound on FM was ok once you have found the correct place for the wire aerial and of course this varies according to which station you are currently listening to.
Setting an alarm is a matter of following the instructions, some devices today allow you to set two separate alarms here it is only one, Monday – Friday or Seven Day, you can wake to buzzer, FM or iPod. Pressing the central snooze buttons stops the alarm for five minutes. The sleep mode has only four choices 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
Doing my Internet searches found the Logic3 i-Station26 (WIS026) at best price £60.97 with free delivery.

Otarian: Vegetarian, Low Carbon Footprint RestaurantJuly 5, 2010

I also liked their Tandorri Mushroom Paneer Wrap with Cucumber Yogurt Dip (a .91 KG C02 saving) $7.25, the Spinach Potato Tart $7.45 (.24KG C02 saving) and the Vegetable Biryani with Cucumber Yogurt Dip (a 2.07 KG C02 saving) $9.95. Otarian offers many other main dishes ($7.45 – $9.95) to enjoy while helping to save the planet.

A Dana Girls Book with a Different Color of Ink
In a couple of cases, I ended up keeping both books due to printing anomalies. The Secret at the Gatehouse is unusual because the ink on the top edge appears to be lavender rather than the usual green or uncommon blue that was mentioned in this post.
I wondered if the color would match any of the Judy Bolton or Connie Blair picture cover books.
The ink does not match at all. I then considered whether the ink could have been blue that has faded. Below, I have photographed the book next to a book with the blue ink on the top edge.
The ink does look like it could have been blue originally. The reason why I tend to be skeptical is because of the high grade of the lot in which this book was found. The rest of the books all have the green on the top edge, and the green is not faded like often seen with these books. Since the other books do not have faded ink, I feel like the ink on this book is probably not faded.
I also found a Stone Tiger in this lot which is of interest. In my post about the Stone Tiger I found with the blue on the top edge, I stated that I believed that it was the first printing. Pictured here is the book I just found along with the book with the blue on the top edge that was the subject of that post.
The book with the blue on the top edge lists to Stone Tiger on the back cover. On the inside, it lists Nancy Drew to Moonstone Castle and Dana Girls to Stone Tiger. The book that I just purchased also lists to Stone Tiger on the back cover. However, on the inside, it lists Nancy Drew to Moonstone Castle and Dana Girls to Lost Lake. I now believe that the book that lists to Lost Lake on the inside is the actual first printing.
With a series like the Dana Girls, we do not have a detailed price guide. In fact, we do not have a guide at all. With Nancy Drew, we know about all of the printing variations, but with other series, we have very little idea. I have seen many Stone Tigers that list to Stone Tiger on the back cover and inside. I have always assumed that they were the first printing. It appears that the true first printing lists to Lost Lake on the inside and is quite scarce by comparison.
Also of interest is the great difference in colors of the artwork from my two Stone Tiger books.
I like to find books which have variations in the cover colors and will often keep examples of these different variations.

Happy Thanksgiving! I just read this post and dragged myself away from the football game to check my Dana Girls collection. I found two books that I'm sure you will find interesting. The first is my copy of The Secret of the Gatehouse, which lists on the back to Sierra Gold Mystery and on the inside list to Lost Lake. It has an identical "lavender" color as yours, and doesn't seem to be faded down to this color.
The second interesting book is my copy of Mystery at the Crossroads. It has a dark blue top just like your Mystery of the Stone Tiger does. It lists to Sierra Gold on the back cover and Lost Lake on the inside listing (with the Nancy Drew list to Moonstone Castle). Have you found or heard of any other Dana Girls books which have the dark blue top other than Stone Tiger and my Crossroads book? My Crossroads book certainly appears to be a first printing of the picture cover, and the spine similarly reminds me of some of the first printings of the Hardy Boys picture cover books (where the spine appears more flattened rather than rounded, if that makes sense to you.).

I couldn't remember one that I had found awhile back, but I was pretty sure I had a blog post on it. I found it.
Dana Girls Picture Cover Editions
I showed a picture of a Mysterious Fireplace that I had found with the blue ink. Take a look at the comments as well. I notice that someone else has also found a Crossroads with the blue ink.
I also have a Circle of Footprints with the blue ink on the top. It lists to Sierra Gold on the back cover. It lists Nancy Drew to Moonstone Castle and Dana Girls to Lost Lake on the inside.
It sounds like the books that have different colors on the top tend to be very early PCs rather than first PCs. According to the Hardy Boys guide, a different bindery was used for some of the very early PCs, and I assume that this information holds true for all Grosset and Dunlap PCs.
If so, perhaps the other bindery wasn't as careful with the colors of ink for the Dana Girls books.
If anyone can think of a Grosset and Dunlap picture cover edition that has lavender ink on the top edge, let me know. I know that Judy Bolton, Connie Blair, Biff Brewster, and Tom Swift do not have lavender ink. If I remember right, I'm pretty sure that Rick Brant has red ink. Peggy Lane has pink. Vicki Barr has blue.

Jennifer, I would like to start a real collection of Dana Girls books. I have the first and a couple of others. I think I will try to purchase from your Bonanza site; do you have any recommendations about the best way to get started? Thanks. Janis Justus

One great thing about the Dana Girls series is that you don't have to worry much about original text versus revised text. The only book that was revised down from 25 chapters to 20 chapters is The Ghost in the Gallery. Otherwise, you don't have to worry about it.
There are some very minor edits with the white spine books, explained better in this post.
As to what to collect, decide on a format and run with it. Or, you could go with a mismatched set if you don't care if they all match. I really like the beige spine picture cover books from the 1960s. The tweed books with jackets are also very nice. Both of these formats look very nice and have good quality paper, unlike some of the older books from the 1940s.

A very good episode. Dramatic and fast-paced. As usual with TV shows and movies nowadays, some things were predictable (like the Stargate being swallowed up by magma), but, that's life.
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire episode. It also set up a nice prelude to the season finale. They now have a 2nd warship and know that the Wraith are coming.

By the way, when we opened our facility, I got a letter from a psychologist from the University of Pennsylvania. He had seen our show which was a zoom out from Earth and it shrinks to nothingness as you go to the edge of the universe. He wrote me a letter that said, "I specialize in the psychological effects of things that make people feel insignificant." I thought, bummer of a job. Is that what you do for a living? He said, "Needless to say, your show was the greatest eliciter of smallness that I have ever seen. Will you allow me to conduct a survey on the people who visit your show?"
I thought to myself - there is something wrong here. Why does he feel small? When I look up in the universe, I feel large. Then I realized his ego was too large to begin with. He came to the problem thinking too highly of who and what he was to begin with. Everything that happened in the show destabilized his self image. Where as I know that the molecules in my body are traceable to phenomena in the cosmos - and it is our 15 lbs of gray matter and figured this out. There is a kinship with the cosmos... Not only are we in the universe, the universie is in us.

Edit: After half day, my wife's Mac started having the same problem. I have then applied the solution that I found in the Apple
Removing Ad breaks in EyeTV
So you have an AppleTV and you record television to your Mac via the great Elgato EyeTV software. One of the minor annoyances I find with the Apple TV is trying to rewind or forward when watching a video. If you record with EyeTV and export direct to iPod or AppleTV format you will have felt the frustration of trying to forward through ad breaks and not miss 3-4 minutes of the film.
The good news is EyeTV allows you to easily remove the Ad breaks (and the footage at the start and end of your recording).
Once your programme or film has finished recording, right click on the programme's icon in the 'Recordings' section of EyeTv and select 'Edit'. I always make sure the 'Fine' option is click for greater accuracy in removing the ad break and thus not chopping bits off the recorded programme.
Once compacted you can export the recording to whatever format you require using the main interface of EyeTV. The results are seamless and if you have ticked the 'fine' option you shouldn't even be able to spot where the breaks were in the first place.
Obviously this adds a bit of time between recording a programme and being able to watch it. EyeTV can automatically add recorded programmes to AppleTV a short time after they have been recorded.
That said we find this step of removing the Ads makes for much less painless viewing experience, especially if you are like us and can not really get to grips with that little white Apple remote.

The story of Woody Allen is the amazing persistence of the story of Woody Allen.
At 76, he has just released To Rome With Love, his eighth film – and seventh set in Europe – in the last seven years. While the bottom dropped out of the independent film market in the United States over the last decade, Allen's career moved overseas and flourished.
European financiers still hold Allen in high regard and give him the absolute control over his films that he demands. Actors from all over the world love to work on his films; they are, after all, a chance to participate in movie history. And that eagerness pays off: Five of Allen's actors have won Academy Awards over the years, and another 10 have received nominations.
In the late-1990s, critics were complaining that his films were only fitfully interesting echoes of his earlier work. Yet his 2011 fantasy comedy, Midnight In Paris, starring Owen Wilson as a novelist who travels back in time to the Paris of Hemingway and Picasso, was the highest-grossing film of his career (made on a $17-million budget, it earned $151-million worldwide). It also earned four Academy Award nominations and won for best screenplay.
Twenty years after the supposedly career-wrecking scandal in which he split with Mia Farrow for her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, he is back in the world's good graces. (Or at least most of the world. There was a Father's Day tweet, a zinger worthy of Allen himself, from his estranged 24-year-old son, Ronan Farrow: "Happy Father's Day – or Happy Brother-in-Law's Day as we call it in our house.")
What has redeemed him, finally, is his work, and not just the quantity. Since Match Point in 2005, he has delivered a surprisingly decent film every two or three years, and we're reminded of something called a legacy. As critic Annette Insdorf noted in the PBS American Masters documentary about him last year, Allen is no longer just a New York director; he defines a cosmopolitan genre. He has inspired a French Woody Allen (Yvan Attal ), an Argentine Woody Allen (Daniel Burman), and an Italian Woody Allen (Gianni Di Gregorio).
To Rome with Love, Allen's 43 rd film as a writer-director, is an anthology of four simultaneous but unrelated tales (one early title was Bop Decameron): A retired American opera impresario (played by Allen) discovers a mortician who is a brilliant singer, but only in the shower. A recent groom is forced to pretend a brassy call girl (Penelope Cruz) is his bride. An office worker (Roberto Benigni ) inexplicably finds himself lavished with fame and all its perks. An architect (Alec Baldwin) serves as a sort of Play It Again, Sam ghostly advisor to a young man (Jesse Eisenberg) caught between his fiance (Greta Gerwig) and her pseudo-intellectual actress friend (Ellen Page).
Currently, Allen is in New York preparing for his next untitled feature, set to shoot this summer with a typically eclectic cast: Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, comedians Louis C.K. and Andrew Dice Clay, Michael Emerson, Alec Baldwin, Bobby Cannavale, Sally Hawkins and Peter Sarsgaard. As with all Allen films, the story details are treated with near-military secrecy.
When we speak by phone, he's in his home office in Manhattan, finishing up casting decisions for the film. In two weeks, he says, he'll head out to San Francisco, where he shot his first feature, 1969s' Take the Money and Run, to scout locations for the new film. Allen, who is hard of hearing, asks that I speak loudly.
I start by asking him about his anthology approach to the screenplay. After crafting city-specific screenplays for London, Barcelona and Paris, how was Rome different?Report Typo/Error

What a horse$#@! debate!
None of what they said fixes what ails us. Someone said, there O goes blaming Bush again! Of course he brings up Bush, he left the country a $#@! sandwich to eat, but in the same breath bring up Ronald reagan as the paragon of a good president. Well Reagan turbocharged (I got a boost reference in!) budget deficits with his supply side economics. The dems then bring up Clinton as a paragon of a good president that left us with a budget surplus created on the back of a stock market bubble, that in case anyone has forgotten was crashing as he left office. One side says that O had two years of total control and didn't fix all that was wrong. Give me a break, America still hasn't recovered from the stock market bubble, much less the housing bubble, unless you are a player and most of America isn't. We are probably currently in a bond bubble that will be just as messy when central banks around the world pop it.
The employment problem of the middle class is a direct result of globalization. The government policy of having our manufacturing base compete against the rest of the world willing to work for $0.70/hour pretty much destroyed the middle. Let's see what would happen if this country allowed Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, etc to compete globally, rather than a protected class? Result upper income class destroyed.
Entitlements are also not the problem. The government policy of taking the Social Security trust fund and using it for the government budget, I believe during LBJ's presidency, has cratered that program. The IOU's the government gives to the SSA are impacting the budget in a major way, so instead of getting their house in order they want to cut/gut tinker with the program. Medicare/medicaid is about to swamp the entire federal budget (this has been known for years), but it is an overlay program on the $#@!ty way we deliver healthcare in this country. If we paid as much for health care in this country as other advanced nations (they pay about half what we pay and get better health outcomes), we would be running budget surpluses. If the military spent the money they get better, rather then getting more to spend, we would be better off (how much has the F22/F35 cost so far for no return, how about subs crashing into ships).
The Fed is trying to do through monetary policy what the congress is gutless to do through fiscal policy, so QE's forever. And so we have ignorant asses talking about marxism, socialism, communism, birtherism,... whatever as if that will lead to a resolution of the country's ills....FTW.
Rant off, let me wipe the mouth foam off my keyboard, take my adderall and go down to the garage to polish my wheels.

- Ms. Navanethem PillayUN High Commissioner for Human Rights
- Ambassador Pamela A. WhiteAmbassador to the Republic of Haiti
- Ambassador Paul AltidorHaitian Ambassador to the USA
Respect religious freedom and the Haitian Vodou religion.
Whereas, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Constitution of the Republic of Haiti and the Constitution of the United States of America all enshrine the principles of religious freedom; and,
Whereas, the majority of the citizens of the Republic of Haiti are adherents of the traditionalist, Afro-diasporan religion of Vodou; and,
Whereas, the Vodou religion is the source of much of Haiti's social, agricultural, political, artistic and theological character; and,
Whereas, the persecution of Vodou and of Vodouisants by Christian denominations and governmental decrees and agents has at various times taken place in the Republic of Haiti; and,
Whereas, the current government of Haiti, headed by President Michel Martelly, has seen fit to amend the Constitution of Haiti in a way perceived by many Haitians as defining Vodou as a "superstitious practice" in an attempt to nullify Constitutional protection of freedom of religion; and,
Whereas, the current government of Haiti has seen fit to ignore or openly promote religious bias, including incitement to violence against Vodouisants as has been uttered with impunity by such media as Radio Shalom; and,
Whereas, the United Nations is currently maintaining a presence in Haiti, and the United States of America has many political and economic representatives and organizations active in Haiti;
We, the undersigned, request and indeed require the United Nations, the government of the Republic of Haiti, and the government of the United States of America, to:
Promote respect for all religions and specifically the religion of Vodou;
Put in place specific legal guarantees for the physical security of Vodouisants, our places of worship and pilgrimage sites in Haiti;
Take appropriate action against those individuals and organizations who incite religiously-motivated violence;
Use all necessary means to educate the government of Haiti and the members of groups most often perceived as violating the principle of religious freedom, specifically Roman Catholic and evangelical Protestant denominations, to cease and desist from slandering, demonizing, or physically attacking Vodou, our ceremonies, our places of worship, and our persons.
- The United Nations, United States Embassy in Haiti, Government of Haiti
- UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
Ms. Navanethem Pillay

Ambassador Pamela A. White
- Haitian Ambassador to the USA
Ambassador Paul Altidor
I just signed the following petition addressed to: The United Nations, United States Embassy in Haiti, Government of Haiti.
Respect religious freedom and the Haitian Vodou religion.
Vodou is the religion of the majority of Haitians. It is a theologically sophisticated religion which has contributed enormously to national development, from the independence struggle to the present day culture of Haiti. Vodou has withstood past persecutions, but in this day and age, when the principles of religious freedom are widely understood and accepted, we can not accept another wave of persecution - which has begun under the auspices of the current government of Haiti, and various Christian denominations. Religious oppression and religiously motivated violence can not be allowed to happen in the year 2012.

Raiders slowly returning to elite status
The good-old days were very good to the Oakland Raiders.
They had:
John Madden.
"The Ghost to the Post."
"The Snake."
Al Davis.
"Just win Baby."
Three Super Bowl titles.
Raider Nation.
And the self proclaimed "Team of Decades."
Then, all of a sudden, the Raiders — who will face the Steelers today at 1 p.m. at Heinz Field — had seven consecutive 10-loss seasons, JaMarcus Russell, 11 consecutive home games not sold out, Bill Callahan, Norv Turner, Art Shell and Lane Kiffin.
In a blink of an eye, the "Team of Decades" Oakland Raiders became the laughing stock of the league. The Black Hole became a worm hole. The wins became losses and Davis went from a genius to a mad man.
"I am not going to lie, it got to a point where it got pretty depressing," Steelers running back Frank Summers said, who grew up in Oakland as a Raiders fan. "It was very depressing. I had season tickets and was just going as a fan of football after a while and not to watch the Raiders."
Recently, there hasn't been much to cheer about when it comes to the Raiders, who have had only nine winning seasons since winning Super Bowl XVIII in 1983.
The Raiders have lost 83 football games since losing to the Buccaneers in Super Bowl XXXVII.
However, as 1970's star safety George Atkinson once said, 'Bad is back.'
The Raiders are 5-4 and have won four of their past five games to rise to the top of the AFC West standings.
"The whole country feels the rumbling again, and they're liking it, because everyone loves to see the Raiders being the Raiders," former Raiders linebacker Phil Villapiano told Sports Illustrated earlier in the week.
The Raiders are indeed back. If there were doubters, they went away two weeks ago when they rallied in front the first sold-out Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum crowd in more than a year to beat Kansas City, 23-20.
It was Oakland's third consecutive win. It was eight years since the Raiders won three games in a row.
"It's fun watching Sunday or Monday nights and Chris Berman doing the highlights on ESPN and he goes 'and now we go to the Raaaaiders,'" Summers said. "It has been a while since he has been able to do that. It is great for them to get back on track."
The Raiders are better than .500 this late in the season for the first time since 2002 and are one win away from surpassing their victory total from any of the past seven seasons.
"No matter how much they struggle, there are always going to be die-hard Raiders fans out there," said backup quarterback Dennis Dixon, another Bay Area native. "They are committed to their team 100 percent and you see that."
Raiders coach Tom Cable has realized that, too. After taking over for Kiffin two years ago, Cable has gone through plenty of tough times.
But his desire to return the Raiders among the NFL's elite is what kept him motivated.
"It's what drives me every day," Cable said. "It's very dear to me to get this place back to respectability and back to being a team that everybody talks about like the Steelers, like the Patriots, like Baltimore, like the teams that have been good here for awhile. It does drive me and it is very dear to me to be the guy that gets this thing turned around."
Only five of the 22 offensive and defensive starters were starting for the Raiders at the end of the 2008 season.
But the resurgence of the Raiders can be traced to two players — Darren McFadden and Richard Seymour.
McFadden, a former No. 1 pick out of Arkansas, leads the league in rushing yards per game (108) while the veteran Seymour anchors a big and talented defensive line.
"When you look at the Raiders, now they remind you of the old Raiders," Tunch Ilkin said, who played numerous games against the Raiders during his Pro Bowl career with the Steelers. "They have a giant offensive line, they have a tight end who is very good in space just like Todd Christensen or Dave Casper. They want to stretch the field. They get a lot of penalties. It has taken a while for them to get the Raiders back to the way they had them in the '70s and '80s."
But more importantly, and more unlikely, the Raiders have learned how to compete and have learned how to handle adversity, such as releasing Russell, a former No. 1 overall pick.
"We are excited about the success that we have had," Cable said. "But like everything, you are never there unless you have become a playoff-type team and that is what we are still trying to do, and we are getting closer, but we still have a lot of work to do."
Still, the Raider Nation is happy to have its team back even if one of them comes for an unusual place.
"Black and Silver," Summers said. "They are back and it's nice to see."

Clothing, cloth and discards too worn, dirty or damaged to be given to persons in need or to be sold were again turned into high fashion, home decor and significant funding via the San Francisco St. Vincent de Paul's "Discarded to Divine" fashion show and auction April 26.
Although a final revenue tally from the seventh annual staging of the event was not ready Monday, St. Vincent officials said the turnout was outstanding to view and bid on the 120 design finalists to make the show.
Only 17 of the fashion creations "made the runway," said Heather Ripley, St. Vincent events manager.
"Discarded to Divine" was staged at the San Francisco Design Center Galleria. A preview event was held April 13 at the de Young Museum, where an exhibition of Jean Paul Gaultier work is in full swing through mid-August: "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk."
"Many of the designs were inspired by the artwork at the museum," Ripley said.
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
Last year's event generated more than $100,000 for St. Vincent de Paul of San Francisco.
According Ripley, the show drew design executions -- employing otherwise nearly valueless donations -- from as far away as New York City. The majority were created locally by students and others at design and art schools, including San Francisco State University, the Academy of Art University, the California College of Art, and Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.
Some of the designs were held back and will be available on eBay, Ripley said.
