Fashion Faces Now And Then
It's hard to see someone like Anna Wintour and believe that she was anything less than robo-fabulous. The thought of Alexander Wang clashing stripes with solids and florals, too, is a tad difficult to imagine. Luckily, now you don't have to. The Huffington Post has very sweetly distracted us from real work with their roundup of fashion celeb now-and-then-images. Some, like Donatella Versace looking terrifying in a totally different way, are shockers. Oh, and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld was just as super hot back in the day. [Huffington Post]

As we wait for our first glimpse of Blue Ivy, family friend Michelle Williams has already had the pleasure of meeting Beyonce and Jay-Z's 1-week old daughter and reports that she is one beautiful baby.
"She is absolutely gorgeous," Bey's Destiny's Child bandmate gushed to USA Today at this weekend's BET Honors in Washington, DC. "We were all in love."
Michelle, 31, adds that the proud new parents have quickly adjusted to life with a little one, saying that Beyonce and Jay-Z "have already settled into their role of being parents, and it's just awesome to see."
Kelly Rowland was also at the event, though she kept tight-lipped when asked about Beyonce's new babe – perhaps being extra careful after she inadvertently spilled the gender news during her friend's pregnancy!
"That's for her parents to disclose, not myself," Kelly said when questioned about baby Blue.

The picture offers a better look at the lead actor, who sports a slicked hair and holds a shotgun.
After some on-set pictures from "Cogan's Trade" leaked online in March, a still from the movie is now unveiled. The image which is obtained from Screen Daily via The Playlist features a better look at Brad Pitt, who dons black leather jacket and sports slicked hair while holding a shotgun.
"Cogan's Trade" tells a story of Jackie Cogan, a guy who investigates a heist that happens during high stakes of poker game under the protection of the mob. Based on a novel by George V. Higgins of the same name, the movie has Andrew Dominick direct and pen the script.
Casey Affleck, Sam Rockwell, Javier Bardem, and James Gandolfini are among other actors supporting the drama comedy film. In addition to taking the lead role, Pitt also teams up with Dede Gardner, Steve Schwartz, and Paula Mae Schwartz to serve as the producers for the movie, which is expected to arrive in theaters in 2012.

The Third Annual Worldview Bio-Innovation Scorecard report, published by Scientific American, points to progress in Europe
The annual Worldview Bio-Innovation Scorecard produced by Scientific American shows notable advances by Spain and Portugal in the development of their biotech sectors.
The Scorecard covers a number of measures including work force availability, education and intellectual property protection, and highlights what countries need to do to improve their capacity for creating biotech innovation locally.
"It's fascinating to see the countries that have challenging environments in terms of innovation capacity, show consistent growth within our index," said Jeremy Abbate, Publishing Director of Scientific American Worldview. "Some of the most notable gains come from Portugal and Spain. They have consistently climbed in their overall innovation score since we began this special report in 2009."
"In the case of Portugal, education and workforce scores increased by nearly 40 percent since 2009," Abbate added. He also highlighted the Czech Republic, which has seen a consistent rise of its overall innovation score since the first Scorecard was published three years ago.
"It's clear that that magical mix of innovation-enabling factors is dynamic and not limited to fully developed biotechnology-rich nations," Abbate said.

PHILADELPHIA – University of Pennsylvania's assistant women's rowing coach Cassandra Cunningham spent much of the summer coaching Lily Lindsay and Meghan Galloway as they prepared to represent the United States in the women's pairs at the World Rowing Junior Championships.
On August 10 in Hamburg, Germany, Lindsay and Galloway took third in the Championships final, becoming just the second U.S. junior women's team in history to reach the medal stand.
"These are amazing opportunities for any coach," said Cunningham, who recently returned to Philadelphia from the Championships. "I am honored and blessed to have been a part of the U.S. Juniorsprogram for the last seven years. The lessons I learn during the summer are invaluable, and the knowledge I gain is what I look forward to bringing back to Penn Women's Crew.
"Each year you get a different batch of women," she said. "I just happened to get two women who learned what it was like to be on the national team a year ago, and came back to camp this summer with the goal of winning a medal. They trained on gold-medal time standards all summer.
"We knew the Romanian, Canadian and Italian pairs were all going to be fast," she continued. "The water was unpredictable all week, and of course on the day of the final it was the worst crosswind we saw. If Megan and Lily had a good first 500 then I knew they could stay in medal contention for the rest of the race. They were powerful, skillful and fit. Romania and Canada just outpowered them, but they stayed crafty in order to hold off Italy. I am super proud of Lily, Meghan, and all the Team USA members."

Mehserle headed back to court for bail bid
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Former BART police Officer Johannes Mehserle will return to a Los Angeles courtroom Dec. 3, when his attorneys will seek his release on bail pending an appeal of his involuntary manslaughter conviction, court officials said Monday.
Mehserle, 28, was sentenced Nov. 5 to two years in prison for shooting and killing unarmed train passenger Oscar Grant on Jan. 1, 2009, during an arrest at the Fruitvale Station in Oakland. With credit for time served, Mehserle could be eligible for release in about seven months.
At Mehserle's sentencing in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Judge Robert Perry threw out a separate conviction against the former officer for intentionally firing a gun at the 22-year-old Grant. The judge said he believed Mehserle's testimony that he had confused his pistol for his Taser.
The judge's decision angered members of Grant's family, who believe Mehserle fabricated his defense.
Latest news videos
Under California law, a defendant who seeks release on bail after being convicted of a felony must show he is not likely to flee and is not a danger to the community.
In addition, the judge must find that Mehserle is not appealing as a delaying tactic, and that his appeal "raises a substantial legal question which, if decided in favor of the defendant, is likely to result in reversal."

Sunset Over Mt. Bachelor
Nothing beats stormy weather when it comes to shooting sunsets. The clouds in the sky make for dramatic images. The sunlight gets filtered through them and the sky often lights up in a blaze of color around sunset or sunrise for that matter.
We were having drinks with friends recently on my property in the high desert of Central Oregon when suddenly the sky erupted in a blaze of reds and orange. When this happens, I can't just sit and enjoy — I have to shoot it.
I used my Nikon D600 camera with a 70 to 200mm lens. Shooting it in three horizontal images, one after another, I then used Photoshop to stitch them into one large file image. I usually have my camera shoot images in RAW so I can later process them just the way I want them. I set my color temperature manually — in this case at 5800 Kelvin. Daylight would be around 5200K, but here I wanted warmer colors. My ISO was set at 200 which is a good all around number. There is not much to say in terms of composition. Frame it so you concentrate on whats interesting. In this case, the clouds lit up in the sky. Crop off what 's boring like the dark land on the bottom and you got it. Sometimes Nature puts on such a show, all you really have to do is push the button.
The American West and my home state of Oregon really have great light so it is a pleasure to shoot, travel and live here.

Q. I am coating CRS and galvanized steel in a coating basket with capacity for 10 m2 of parts. I have eight anodes with 0.25 m2 each. I am trying to obtain 35-37 microns of epoxy electrocoat using a 400-V, 120-amp rectifier, but I can only get 27-30 microns consistently. My application voltage is 350 V with a 3-min. cycle time. What can I modify in my system to be able to reach the greater film thickness?—A.Y.
A. Let me start by saying that not only rectifiers and anodes define the overall thickness achieved in the electrocoat system. Other chemical and physical parameters such as percentage solids, paint temperature and pH also play a significant role in the amount of e-coat film deposited. Since you do not mention any of these characteristics, I will assume that everything is in order in your system within your supplier's recommended parameters and that the issue is really equipment-related.
Calculating the ratio of coated product (10 m2) to anode surface (eight anodes by 0.25 m2 per anode, or 2 m2) produces a ratio of 5-to-1. Typical electrocoat systems must have a cathode-to-anode ratio of 4-to-1 or less in order to operate as intended. In other words, you do not have enough anodes or anode surface in your electrocoat tank. To overcome this problem, you must either reduce the amount of product in the basket or increase the amount of anode surface you have in the electrocoat tank. To maintain your 10 m2 of coated product, you must have at least 2.5 m2 of total anode surface to meet the 4-to-1 ratio.
In addition to this cathode/anode ratio, the anode surface must be sufficient to not exceed a maximum current density of 53.5 amps/m2 for typical stainless steel anodes. Ruthenium oxide anodes can operate under higher current densities. Current densities as high as 100 amps/m2 have been used in systems operating with such anodes.
The number of amps your system would require can be calculated by multiplying the amount of product to be coated by the desired film thickness by a typical electrocoat efficiency, and then dividing by the cycle time. So in order to coat 10 m2 of parts with 37 microns of electrocoat in a 3-min. cycle time using a typical electrocoat efficiency of 1.05 amps/m2*micron, your system would require 129 amps (10 × 37 × 1.05/3 = 129). To figure the necessary anode current density, divide the number of amps by the anode surface (2.5 m2), and you get 17.3 amps/m2. This anode current density is OK for stainless steel anodes, however, your rectifier would be maxed out on amperage because of your high requirement for film thickness of 37 microns, requiring 129 amps vs. its 120-amp rating. Additional anodes and perhaps a bigger rectifier would help you accomplish greater film thickness consistently.

Media Ignore Congressman Dingell's 'Painful' Tax Plan to Solve Global Warming
It has been regularly reported by NewsBusters that media are doing everything in their power to withhold from the public the financial ramifications of global warming alarmism.
Be it the marketing of totally useless carbon offsets, or proposals for additional taxes on consumers and corporations, press outlets have been seemingly coordinated in their silence regarding such matters.
Another fine example of such a boycott occurred last week when House Energy and Commerce Committee chair John Dingell (D-MI) discussed a rather elaborate tax plan with the Associated Press Wednesday that virtually no major media outlet outside of Detroit bothered to report (emphasis added throughout):
Dealing with global warming will be painful, says one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress. To back up his claim he is proposing a recipe many people won't like _ a 50-cent gasoline tax, a carbon tax and scaling back tax breaks for some home owners.
"I'm trying to have everybody understand that this is going to cost and that it's going to have a measure of pain that you're not going to like," Rep. John Dingell, who is marking his 52nd year in Congress, said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press.
Though this was covered by Washington Post.com, a LexisNexis search indicated that it did not make the print edition. Newspapers such as the New York Times and USA Today also thought Dingell's proposal - which ended up being posted at his website Thursday - wouldn't interest their readers.
As for television, not one network - cable or broadcast - said a word about Dingell's plan. Not one.
Were the media collectively trying to hide from the public some of the specifics:
A tax on carbon dioxide emissions:
- $50 / ton of carbon dioxide (phased in over 5 years and then adjusted for inflation)
- Coal, including lignite and peat
- Petroleum and any petroleum product
- Natural gas
A tax on gasoline:
- .50/ gallon of gas, jet fuel, kerosene (petroleum based) etc...(added to current gas tax) (phased in over 5 years and then adjusted for inflation)
- Exemption for diesel - The fuel economy benefits of diesel surpass even its emissions benefits; it provides about a thirty percent increase in fuel economy and a twenty percent emissions reduction
- Biofuels that do not contain petroleum are exempt. Biofuels blended with petroleum are only taxed on the petroleum portion of the fuel.
**The .50 gas tax is in addition to what is derived from the per ton carbon dioxide tax in the previous bullet.
Phase out the mortgage interest deduction on large homes. These homes have contributed to increased sprawl and longer commutes. Despite new homes in and of themselves being more energy efficient, the sheer size, sprawl and commutes lead to dramatically more energy use - or to put it more simply, a larger carbon footprint.
Specifically, the proposal:
- Phases out the mortgage interest on primary mortgages on houses over 3000 square feet.
- Exemptions for historical homes (prior to 1900) and farm houses.
- Exemptions for home owners who purchase carbon offsets to make home carbon neutral or own homes that are certified carbon neutral.
- An owner would receive 85% of the mortgage interest deduction for homes 3000-3199 square feet
- 70% for homes 3200-3399 square feet
- 55% for homes 3400-3599 square feet
- 40% for homes 3600-3799 square feet
- 25 % for homes 3800-3999 square feet
- 10% for homes 4000-4199 square feet
- 0 for homes 4200 square feet and up
Certainly, these are some extraordinary measures to solve a problem that scientists aren't sure exists, and aren't convinced is caused by anything man is doing.
Yet, regardless of where one stands on this debate, shouldn't media be making the public aware of what legislators are proposing concerning this issue?
This seems especially logical given Dingell's feedback request posted at his website Thursday:
Before introducing a formal bill, the Congressman is inviting constituents and other interested parties to review his current proposal and provide feedback. A summary of the draft legislation has been posted on Dingell's Congressional website along with a form that allows reviewers to offer opinions and suggestions on the carbon tax proposal.
With this in mind, why was Dingell's plan universally boycotted?
Press outlets spent a great deal of time last week covering the health care proposal of a woman who isn't even in the White House, and whose plan won't be debated in Congress until at least 2009 if at all.
Shouldn't media report proposals legislators will be discussing in the coming weeks? Or is that just too much like journalism?
*****Update: NBer jdhawk noticed something in Dingle's proposal that I overlooked -- hey, it's a Saturday, and there's football on! -- and offered further insight into why media buried this story:
The worst part about this old fart's plan is that the revenue brought in by these additional taxes,if the legislation is passed, are not earmarked to solve the "problem" of global warming whatsoever.
jd was quite correct, for here's what Dingle proposed:
The revenue from the gas tax goes into the high way trust fund, with 40 % going to the mass transit and 60 % going to roads. The revenue from the tax on jet fuel goes into the airport and airway trust fund.
Finally, the revenue from the fee on carbon emissions will go into the following accounts:
- Medicare and Social Security
- Universal Healthcare (upon passage)
- State Children's Health Insurance Program
- Conservation
- Renewable Energy Research and Development
- Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
Isn't that great? Let's raise taxes supposedly to solve global warming so that we can give more money to Medicare, Social Security, Universal Healthcare, etc.
Folks, this has NOTHING to do with solving global warming. In fact, as NewsBusters has been reporting for months, this whole issue is about raising taxes to fund programs that have virtually no connection to reducing carbon emissions.
What a disgraceful charade this is. That said, wouldn't it be nice if media were exposing the hypocrisy rather than being a part of it?

Whitehouse Boys Basketball Coach Ryan Tomlin Resigns
Ryan Tomlin has turned in his resignation as Whitehouse head boys basketball coach to take a position as an assistant principal at Lindale High School.
The story was first reported by Smoaky.com.
Tomlin, who has spent the last five years at Whitehouse, said his decision to leave all came about quickly.
"I wasn't thinking about (leaving at all) until about a week ago," Tomlin said. "I had run into the principal over there (at Lindale) and he mentioned there was a job open and said, 'hey, we'd love to have you if that's what you want or you can live without coaching right now.' He let me pray about it with my family for about four or five days, and it just felt like the right thing to do. It's a new step, a new season in my life and I'm excited to see what the administrative side is all about."
In five seasons at Whitehouse, Tomlin guided the Wildcats to the playoffs all five years. Whitehouse finished 23-10 in 2013, losing to Mansfield Legacy in the bi-district round of the Class 4A playoffs.
"The No. 1 thing (I'll take away) is the relationships, the relationships are hard to leave," Tomlin said of his time at Whitehouse. "When you invest your life in a community … that's probably the biggest thing I'll take away. Just the student-athletes and the regular students at Whitehouse, getting to be a part of their lives. The second thing was the administration. There's not many places I've worked where I was as close to the administration and the coaches that I got to work with every day as well as the teachers."
Whitehouse head football coach Adam Cook told ETSN.fm via text message: "My family has truly been blessed to work alongside Coach Tomlin and his family. We will miss him, but we are excited for him as he begins a new chapter in his career of serving students."
Tomlin, who was also an assistant boys golf coach at Whitehouse, has served as a head basketball coach for 11 years, which also included stints at Bullard and Bonham. He led Bullard to the Class 3A Region II championship game in 2006.
Even though he's leaving the coaching profession for now, Tomlin wasn't ready to completely close that chapter of his life.
"Am I done coaching? No, I can't say that," he said.

Decision makers
- Robert A. Niblock, CEO Lowe's Corporation
Tell Lowe's to Reject Extremism and Restore Advertising Support to All-American Muslim
Lowe's Home Improvement's decision to pull advertising from TLC's "All-American Muslim" in the wake of an email campaign by a Florida-based right-wing hate group sets a dangerous precedent and emboldens bigots.
TLC launched a popular reality show called "All-American Muslim" about everyday Americans, who happen to be Muslim, going about their lives. They play sports, they go school, they go to work and pay their taxes. This was too much for the anti-Muslim fear mongers at the Florida Family Association, who were outraged that the show was depicting "Muslims as ordinary folks just like you and me." An article on the organization's website suggests that the show instead depict "one of its secular, attractive nominal Muslims as he decided to get more serious about his faith, and ended up participating in jihad activity or Islamic supremacist efforts."
Lowe's should have ignored the canned emails and gone about its business. Instead it caved to a group of bigoted extremists.
Sign our petition to Lowe's chairman and CEO Robert Niblock right now urging the company to reverse course, reject extremism and reinstate its advertising on "All-American Muslim."
The company claims it is committed to diversity – it's time to prove it.

When entropy is examined statistically it can be considered a measure of randomness. Now the more random a system is the more disordered it is. The formula for statistical entropy is:
S is entropy.
k is the Boltzmann Constant =
is the number of equivalent equally probable configurations. This is a direct measurement of disorder.
Random or disordered systems have such a significantly higher number of equivalent equally probable configurations, that they can basically be considered inevitable. Now entropy is not quite the same as disorder, but entropy is logarithmically related to disorder. Entropy can be considered a measurement of disorder in the way that the Richter Scale is a measurement of Earthquakes or decibels are a measurement of sound. The result is that it is accurate to call entropy a measure of disorder. This means a reduction in entropy does result from an increase in organized complexity.
| J Philip Bromberg,
Physical Chemistry, 1984, pg. 690
While the following concept is related to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, it extends beyond the basic concept of the second law. It comes from a statistical analysis of how energy is applied to a system; affects entropy. The fact that how energy is applied is critical to an increase or decrease in entropy is evident from the difference between construction work and a bomb.
Consider a pile of wood. If a group of people work to organize the pile of wood, a building can be built that has less entropy than the pile of wood. If however a bomb of equal energy is applied to the pile of wood, the result is that the pile is scattered with more entropy than the pile of wood.
Now any time energy is applied to a system there is some degree of randomness to how it is applied. The result is that randomness of the system is moved towards that of applied energy.
= The number of equivalent equally probable states of the system.
= The number of equivalent equally probable states of the application of energy.
Now the statistical formula for entropy is:
This results in:
The result is that:
= Entropy of system.
= Entropy of energy application.
= Maximum change in entropy.
The result is that if energy is applied to a system in a manner more random than the system, then it becomes more random. If the same amount of energy is applied to a system in a manner less random than the system, then it becomes less random. This explains why organized work can build buildings, but a bomb will bring it down. The more organized application of energy would be an organizing force.
Evolutionists claim that natural selection communicates information from the environment to populations of organisms In fact natural selection communicates nothing. All it is, is a quality control mechanism. Natural selection can only select from what already exists. In and of itself, Natural selection causes no changes in DNA. The real source of genetic change for evolution is random changes in DNA called mutations.
Now DNA is very organized, while mutations are very random. This results in the following:
Plugging this in to formula 1:
This results in:
This means that random mutations can only increase the entropy of DNA. Furthermore since:
This means that mutations will increase the randomness of DNA. As a result the best that natural selection can do is to remove the most randomized DNA. So natural selection cannot communicate anything, therefore the general theory of evolution has no organizing force and no program. The result is that since the general theory of evolution needs to decrease the entropy of DNA and lacks an organizing force it would seem to contradict the laws of Thermodynamics.

'It's obviously still pop and we've been playing with more dance pop,' the 'High School Musical 3:Senior Year' star describes her new music.
Four years after putting out her last album "Guilty Pleasure", Ashley Tisdale is finally working on her music again. The 28-year-old singer, who has been focusing on her acting career, recently talked about the new songs she'd written.
"I'm still trying to find exactly where I want to go with that. I've been heading towards a specific direction and I think that's where I'm going to be," she told MTV. "It's obviously still pop and we've been playing with more dance pop."
The "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" actress explained, "My last album was pop rock, so I definitely kind of have been more into the dancier type of pop songs. It's definitely heavily pop for sure."
Tisdale is in no rush to release a new record. She said she's simply happy to hit recording studio again and enjoying the process of creating music. "I don't even know if I'm just going to do singles or do an album. It's really just me going into the studio and doing what I love," she continued.
"I've been inspired to start doing music again. I've been really excited to be back in the studio and figuring out what that next sound is. But I definitely missed it and I'm having a lot of fun with it, so we will see," she added.
Earlier this month, Tisdale dropped a new song called "You're Always Here". Produced by fiance Christopher French, the track is a tribute to her late grandfather.

BP immediately hiring 300 oil cleanup workers in Florida Keys; Must be ready to report for duty within 12 to 18 hours
July 8th, 2010
Local oil spill responders sought, Key West Citizen (Subscription), July 6, 2010:
BP and Florida oil response officials want to establish a group of 300 trained people in the Florida Keys to perform shoreline cleanup activities if oil ever reaches the area.
There was no imminent threat [as of] Monday of oil reaching the Keys, but there was a need to identify resources and train people who can then respond immediately, BP spokesman Andrew Van Chau said.
The Florida Peninsula Command Post said the workers, called "qualified community responders," will be trained for tasks including shoveling debris, cleaning rocks, operating front-end loaders and power washers.
The crew will be paid — Van Chau did not know how much — and trained at the cost of a private company hired by BP.
The crew will be split throughout the Keys, with 100 in the Upper Keys, 100 in the Middle Keys and 100 in the Lower Keys.
Plant Performance Services (P2S) will oversee the workers and recruit them through the South Florida Workforce employment program, Van Chau said.
There will be a focus on recruiting people who are currently receiving unemployment benefits.
Applicants must submit to a criminal background check and drug screening, and be able to prove they live in Monroe County.
Crew members must be ready to report for duty within a 12-to 18-hour window of notification.
They must be able to do physical labor such as handling and carrying heavy materials and supplies, raking, shoveling, removing trash, operating mechanical equipment and cleaning oilcovered items such as rocks and other elements on the beach, Van Chau said.
There will be four, 24- or 40-hour mandatory training sessions, with the level of required training depending on the crew member's specific role. Training will include safety and proper handling of hazardous waste materials.
BP and P2S have been in discussions with the Florida Keys Community College to provide the training, Van Chau said.
The college already has been offering its own hazardous materials handling courses.
The plan came out of discussions between BP, the Coast Guard, Monroe County emergency management officials and other government agencies, which have been reviewing contingency response plans.
