Things To Do
Downtown Miami Daytrip
When you get bored of your regular gym routine, consider a more daring task – try flying. The Flying Trapeze School will teach you, in two hours, how to go from just jaw-drop-staring to actually performing in the air. An added bonus? It's downtown, which is easily accessible, and probably not somewhere you normally go on a weekend – which makes it that much more adventurous.
Here's your itinerary:
1 p.m. First & First Southern Baking Company
109 NE 1st Avenue, Miami, FL 33132
Website: www.firstand1st.com
Cost: $10-$15 plus Metromover or Street Parking
If you're like most Miamians, you're hung over on any given weekend morning. So, sleep it off and then wake up with some coffee and brunch at First & First Southern Baking Company. And I know it may be hard to resist, but don't overdo it here. You are about to fly. I wouldn't push it. However, I wouldn't leave without at least one pastry in hand. If you can even wait until you're out the door.
2 p.m. Stroll Downtown
Website: www.miamiartmuseum.org
Downtown has a lot to offer. If you can spare the time, go and visit the Miami Art Museum – they just broke ground on their new Museum Park, so visit it's current home while you still have the chance! In the same complex, you can also find the main branch of the Miami Library, History Miami and an art collective called Flagler Art Space.
4 p.m. Flying Trapeze School
Bayfront Park, 301 Biscayne Blvd., Miami
Website: www.theflyingtrapeze.net
Cost: $40
You'll want to be at your lesson at least 15 minutes early so you can fill out the necessary paperwork – and get used to the idea. And then, let the fun begin. The instructors are awesome and complete bad-asses. They'll probably show off some of their tricks while the students fill out paperwork. And it's worth the viewing. This is a no frills activity. It is purely athletic. Actually, the founders, Mabel Rilling and Granville Johnson were both faculty members at the University of Denver in the Department of Health, Physical Education and Athletics. And they took their job very seriously. Seriously enough to risk their lives in inventing what they considered the pinnacle of athleticism. In the 1800's!
The first lesson you'll be taught is to listen. Ah, such a great lesson to learn. But in this sport, it's truly an asset. Most of what you can accomplish in Flying Trapeze is based on timing. So, if you listen to the professional, you'll stick it almost every time.
The rest of the lessons are taught by practice. And the walk up the ladder to get to that practice is a scary one. And then hanging over a ledge while holding onto a heavier-than-I-would-have-ever-thought bar that swings waiting for someone to tell you to 'jump' makes you queasy. But then you do it. You jump. And you swing. And you can see the bay in the distance, feel yourself tearing through the ocean breeze – and you think: 'ohmigod, I'm doing this;' and it's amazing. And then the professional tells you to do a back flip off of the bar, and you're like 'oh hell no' and you face-plant into the net instead. But then you see a 6 year-old in your class do it. And the next time, it's a breeze.
After two hours of your first-ever Flying Trapeze Class, you'll swing, manage flip yourself upside-down on the bar, and have a professional catch you and swing in tandem. Honestly. When you think about how you couldn't finish even 5 pull-ups during your personal training workout last week – you begin to feel really accomplished after this class. Who needs the gym when you can fly every day? You may have bruises on the insides of your knees after – but those are just the equivalent of battle wounds. No pain, no gain. You were just in it to win it. Good work.
6:30 p.m. Garcia's Seafood Grille and Fish Market
398 NW North River Drive, Miami
Website: www.garciasseafoodgrill.com
Cost: $15-$30
Nothing screams 'I'm amazing and just trapezed like a professional' then celebrating with stone crabs and beer. It just feels right. So, head up Flagler to the River and meet Garcia's. It's a fish market and restaurant. And if you can get a seat outside, overlooking the river, you've just about had the best day ever. Watch the sun set, enjoy a cold one, and reminisce about that one time you ruled at trapeze.
8 p.m. DRB
255 NE 14th Street, Miami
Website: www.drbmiami.com
Cost: $5-$12
If you just can't go home yet, head to DBR. They have one of the best blueberry beers, and about a hundred others for you to try. A great place to sit, drink and just chill – after a day of flying.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt started appearing on television at the age of 7. Since then, the "3rd Rock from the Sun" kid has established a distinguished line of acting credits in films ranging from "Mysterious Skin" and "(500) Days of Summer" to "Inception," "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Looper."
Now at 32, the San Fernando Valley native has written, directed and starred in his first feature, "Don Jon" (Sept. 27). It's a sweet little tale about a New Jersey ladies man who, despite his ability to score hotties anytime he desires, much prefers going it alone with Internet porn.
Yeah, OK, "Don Jon" leaves little to the imagination. But we meant it when we said it was fundamentally sweet, and Gordon-Levitt sure managed to convince an impressive supporting cast that the premise wasn't totally icky. Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, Brie Larson, Glenne Headly and Tony Danza all signed on. Channing Tatum and Anne Hathaway did cameos.
"I wanted to tell a story about how people often treat each other more like things than like people, and how the media can play into that," Gordon-Levitt says. "I imagine it comes from some personal experience, having grown up as an actor. There's definitely a stigma around actors in our culture; they're often objectified.
"But I don't think it's just actors. Everybody experiences this. We have a tendency to put each other in boxes and put labels on them. That's how I came to the idea of a story about a relationship between a young man who watches too much pornography and a young woman who watches too many romantic Hollywood movies."
Gordon-Levitt, who's made his own (non-porn) Internet shorts for years, found that directing and acting in a feature film felt like a natural fit.
"I was more able to direct the movie from the vantage point that I'm accustomed to. I'm used to acting, I'm used to being in it with the actors, and that's how I felt best able to gauge a scene," he says. "There was one half-day when I wasn't in it, because I'm in pretty much the whole movie. I wasn't in costume, I was just directing behind the camera. Honestly, I felt out of place."

Story highlights
- Story of nurse who took a prank call prompted commenters to talk about their own errors
- Making a mistake can be scary, but there are things you can do to improve the outcome
- What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below or post a video on CNN iReport
When James Theodorou reflects on mistakes from past jobs, he cringes to think about the role he played in printing 4 million copies of a well-known U.S. magazine with the wrong date on the cover.
It was the early 1980s and Theodorou was working as an offset stripper, who performs platemaking and stripping for presses. He said he could only wait in horror as his little mistake was distributed across the country.
The memory is burned into his brain. It resurfaced earlier this month when he learned of the nurse in the United Kingdom who put through a prank call from two Australian DJs to the ward where Prince William's wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was being treated for acute morning sickness.
While the circumstances of the nurse's death remain unclear, the incident prompted Theodorou and many other CNN.com readers to share stories of dealing with stressful situations on the job, making mistakes and moving on.
Mistakes are an opportunity to see how you can do something differently, said commenter RealityChk101, a software engineer from North Dakota who has had "code blow up in my face several times, sometimes with disastrous results," he said.
"In almost every case I have had to take the action of documenting every little thing that went wrong, why it went wrong and how this was never going to happen again."
The commenter, who asked not to have his real name used, said he once was mortified to find that he had somehow stripped last names from everyone in a database. His co-workers made up a song about him, to the tune of "Candy Man," asking "Who can take the last name, and throw it all away?"
After his initial panicked reaction, he calmed down and came up with ways to rectify the situation.
"I spent two days calling those 500 people, getting their last names," he said. "Management figured that was punishment enough."
The commenter said his situation pales in comparison to the stress nurses and hospital workers deal with daily, where lives are at stake.
"Hospitals are by their nature a stressful place: you have births, sickness and death, all under one roof," he said. "Caregivers are bombarded by every type of emotion on a daily basis."
The incident caused him to fear that he would lose his job. But talking to co-workers proved to be helpful, he said.
"In most of those cases, my co-workers were supportive, and when I needed more support, I just unloaded emotionally on my wife of 33 years."
Seeking support from others can be helpful, especially in cases where you think you might be in danger of losing your job, said Christine Porath, associate professor of management at Georgetown University. They may help you see things differently.
Porath said people of all occupations often place their self worth in their jobs because they see them as much more than a task.
"Their heart and soul is in their job, so their identity is wrapped in it, which is great, but when your job is threatened or you make a mistake, that makes it all the more harder."
It helps to get a bit of perspective on the situation by disengaging and "stepping away from the workplace to focus on everything else that you have," she said.
"I think it makes the support aspect all the more important. You really need to focus on other parts of your life."
Employers also benefit from keeping their employees happy, said Porath, who researches the effects of incivility in the workplace. Most people are focused on the outward display of anger and far less aware of the devastating effects of being afraid or sad about one's status in the organization, she said.
These latter two emotions are the ones that are more likely to cause people to leave their jobs, she said.
Since his first public gaffe, Theodorou said he has learned to handle workplace stress by maintaining an emotional detachment from the task at hand while making decisions.
"By using logic, and following the (standard operating procedures), everything is no longer personal, just business. Even errors. I then go home and engage my hobbies."
Theodorou had no choice but to try to do better on the next issue of the magazine. He slowed down and went over his work again carefully. He made a checklist and had another technician perform a quality control inspection before starting the four-hour process of printing the covers.
"It only added about 15 minutes to the job, but they were a well-spent 15 minutes," he said.
Corporate recruiter Steven Raz said the recession can increase people's concerns about doing well at work.
He advised that if you do make a mistake, you should have a plan to correct it. If the mistake is big, get help.
"It's always recommended that if something happens like that, and it's too big to handle, that's when you should bring in your boss," Raz said.
Some people may be tempted to say nothing, but that can be dangerous, he added.
"If you tell the truth, you don't have to worry about what truth you've told," Raz said.
What do you think? Have you ever made a big mistake at work or encountered a stressful situation? How did you get through it?

Start with the Got It target $23$.
The first player chooses a whole number from $1$ to $4$ .
Players take turns to add a whole number from $1$ to $4$ to the running total.
The player who hits the target of $23$ wins the game.
Play the game several times.
Can you find a winning strategy?
Can you always win?
Does your strategy depend on whether or not you go first?
Tablet/Full Screen Version
To change the game, choose a new Got It target or a new range of numbers to add on.
Test out the strategy you found earlier. Does it need adapting?
Can you work out a winning strategy for any target?
Can you work out a winning strategy for any range of numbers?
Is it best to start the game? Always?
Away from the computer, challenge your friends:
One of you names the target and range and lets the other player start.
Well, in this country, and perhaps in yours, lots of young folk are wearing bracelets - both girls and boys. I was looking at some that my students wear and found that some were magnetic!
Many seem to have beads that are spherical and they go around the wrist quite comfortably. There are lots of different sizes and some have large beads and some quite small beads.
I suppose that most wrists are kind of oval - squashed circles - in shape and with the string or wire through the beads they fit very well.
It was playing with the magnetic beads off the person's wrist that gave me some ideas. There were $18$ beads altogether and they were all the same colour but I've chosen to show them in a variety of colours!
I found I could put them into different shapes:-
mind you, you'd have to have a triangular wrist for them to stay like that!
Now suppose we play around with this idea and make a rule that there has to be some shaped hole in the middle for a wrist. But we'll allow that to be all kinds of shapes :- vaguely triangular, rectangular, hexagonal etc.
You could try this out with marbles, circular counters, tiddly-winks, coins or with a drawing program on your computer.
I think we'll make a rule that the circles/spheres have to be the same size and you don't have to imagine that they're magnetic!
So here are some that I found with $18$ beads:-
I liked that one as it is the longest rectangle you could make - remembering to keep a wrist-hole. I then went on to:-
and then, almost a square :-
I like the next one - although it was a little hard to do on the computer!
Have a go at making these with your circles!
Well, now it's time to explore, to see what other bracelets you can make. Remember that there's to be a "wrist-hole". The shapes should be kind of "regular" but not strictly so, because then we could not use rectangles.
Other things to investigate:-
So whatever shape you make, how many will you need to make the next size up? How does each shape grow? Look at the first shape I made using $24$:-
What will the next size up of this look like?

Francis Ysidro Edgeworth was originally named Ysidro Francis Edgeworth but transposed his forenames. He was the youngest of his parents five sons and when he was only two years old his father died. Two years later Maria, who also lived on the estate, also died. He did not attend school, but was educated by private tutors in his own home until he reached the age to enter university.
At this stage in his life Edgeworth had no particular interest in mathematics. He came to study statistics after only after his university education had finished; his interests at university were in ancient and modern languages. He entered Trinity College, Dublin at the age of 17 and studied French, German, Spanish and Italian. After graduating, he was awarded a scholarship to study at Oxford and he entered Exeter College in January 1867. At Oxford he spent some time at Magdalen and at Balliol, graduating in 1869.
Exactly what Edgeworth did in the years after leaving Oxford is unclear but certainly he lived in London with little financial support. One important influence from this period was Jevons who was a friend and near-neighbour of Edgeworth. He must have studied law at some time since he was called to the Bar in 1877. Three years later, however, he was lecturing on logic at King's College, London. In 1888 he was appointed Professor of Political Economics at King's College, London and, two years later, he was appointed to the Tooke chair of Economic Science.
The surprising part is that somewhere in this varied career Edgeworth studied mathematics. We have to assume that he was self-taught in mathematics and this might explain why he seemed to believe that advanced mathematics was understood by all. For example his first serious publication New and old methods of ethics (1877) is described by Kendall in [7] as follows:-
None of his writings, at any time in his life, consisted of the kind of prose, or orderly presentation of ideas, which give pleasure for their own sake, and in this particular work he actually writes down variational integrals, which must have put it beyond the understanding of most of those who were interested in ethical problems at that time.In 1881 he published Mathematical Psychics: An Essay on the Application of Mathematics to the Moral Sciences. This work, really on economics, looks at the Economical Calculus and the Utilitarian Calculus. In fact most of his work could be said to be applications of mathematical psychics which Edgeworth saw as analogous to mathematical physics. They were applied to the measure of utility, the measure of ethical value, the measure of evidence, the measure of probability, the measure of economic value, and the determination of economic equilibria. He formulated mathematically a capacity for happiness and a capacity for work. His conclusions that women have less capacity for pleasure and for work than do men would not be popular today.
Edgeworth published Methods of Statistics in 1885 which presented an exposition of the application and interpretation of significance tests for the comparison of means.
In 1891 Edgeworth left London to take up the Drummond Chair of Political Economy at Oxford. He obtained a fellowship at All Souls College and he held both the chair and the fellowship until he retired in 1922. Another event of significance in 1891 was that the Economic Journal began publication with Edgeworth as its first editor. This journal was the publication of the Royal Economic Society which had been set up in 1890 with Edgeworth appointed as secretary to the Society. However [2]:-
... his extensive knowledge of economics and economists in all countries, and his great industry and keen interest, were coupled with a complete innocence of business and administrative affairs.He continued to be editor until 1926 when Keynes took over the editorship.
In 1892 Edgeworth examined correlation and methods of estimating correlation coefficients in a series of papers. The first of these papers was Correlated Averages.
Edgeworth's work was to influence Pearson although bad feeling developed between the two and later Pearson was to deny Edgeworth's influence. At the Galton dinner in February 1926 Pearson spoke of Edgeworth's death a few days earlier:-
... him we can almost call a biometrician for he contributed to Biometrika ... Only last December he came and spoke as he had always spoken ... and his criticism failed as it had always failed, because he spoke not the language of the people. ... I should like to reckon him among the biometricians if he ploughed always right across the line of our furrows. Besides we owe him something, like a good German he knew that the Greek k is not a modern c, and, if any of you at any time wonder where the k in Biometrika comes from, I will frankly confess that I stole it from Edgeworth. Whenever you see that k call to mind dear old Edgeworth.In [2] there is an excellent description of his character and interests:-
Edgeworth was unmarried. He was an insatiable reader, but his love of walking, mountaineering, golf, and boating, with his strict and regular habits, maintained to the last his wonderful vitality. Every summer, even at the age of 80, he used to bathe at Parson's Pleasure before breakfast, and he would often be seen riding his bicycle in the country round Oxford or playing on the course at Cowley. But as a walker he was perhaps most indefatigable; and he was the life and soul of those Sunday tramps which have for years been a custom of his College. To a courtly grace, derived perhaps from his Spanish mother, he added the Irish characteristics of humour, imagination and generosity. A lifelong friend has never known him to be out of temper or speak ill words of others. In his sweetness and light were well combined. He was the merriest of men, and seemed to possess the secret of perpetual youth, both of mind and of body.

UBS Consumption Indicator reaches new high
The UBS Consumption Indicator climbed to 1.86 in May, reaching its highest level since April 2002. This signals that Swiss consumer spending is continuing to grow robustly.
The monthly UBS Consumption Indicator rose to 1.86 in May, from 1.62 in April, sending out a signal that the consumer environment in Switzerland is still favourable and supporting the UBS economists' view that consumer spending will remain a key growth driver.
The UBS Consumption Indicator is calculated from five sub-indicators: new car sales, the business trend in the retail sector, the number of overnight hotel stays by Swiss nationals in Switzerland, the consumer sentiment index and credit card transactions made via UBS at points of sale in Switzerland. With the exception of the consumer sentiment index, all of these data are produced on a monthly base. The contributors to May's rise were the improved consumer sentiment and the increase in new car registrations - up 11.4% year-on-year over the month. At the same time, business activity in the retail sector cooled only slightly versus the previous month.
The UBS Consumption Indicator is currently well above its long-term average of 1.49, which augurs that private consumption will remain robust for some time. The main factor contributing to Switzerland's strong consumer environment is the country's healthy economy, which is increasingly feeding through into the labour market. As capacity reaches its limits and orders keep coming in, more companies are expanding their workforces. As a result, households should remain willing to go out and spend. All in all, we expect consumer spending to rise by 1.9% in 2006, which is almost 0.5 percentage points above the average for the last ten years.

…and I have nothing to wear! I am covering fashion on the red carpet for Access Hollywood, which brings up the age old question - "What the heck do I wear?" While I have very, very definite ideas of what I like when it comes to my "real life" style, it's a whole other universe, when it comes to what to wear on a red carpet that looks good on television.
Enter Access Hollywood stylist Lindsay Albanese! Lindsay helped me get gorgeous for the Oscars and she offered to help again. Lindsay predicts several trends we will see for the Emmys:
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Jet Set Chic: Stars Travel In Style
Jewel Tone Colors
One Shouldered Gowns
Embellished Gowns
Romantic gowns, nothing too constricting.
I tried on several dresses. The flowy, black Robert Rodriguez gown was very beautiful. Next - a purple one shouldered Pamella Roland goddess gown. That covers three of the four trends… a real contender!
VIEW THE PHOTOS: 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards
Lindsay knows how much I love a statement necklace and she found a Jenni Kayne navy silk dress with an elaborate jewel neckline that looked like a necklace. It was truly a beautiful gown… a bit on the low cut side though… and let's face it, I'm no J.Lo!
I also tried on a couple of short dresses, which Lindsay thinks we will see on the carpet, but I just didn't feel it was right for me. Leighton Meester or Blake Lively can pull that off - no problem. Not me and my white legs. I told our camera guy he could white balance his camera off my legs!
And while most people (myself included) aren't red carpet regulars, a lot of Lindsay's advice works for any formal event whether it's a wedding or a high school reunion.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Emmys 2009: And The Nominees Are…
Make sure you have the right undergarments. The right push up bra and body shapewear can change a dress entirely, both for the better… or the worse.
Make sure your gown doesn't reveal too much. You've heard about stars taking their photo before they hit the red carpet to make sure you can't see through it and Lindsay says that is true. Get someone to take your photo to make sure all your bases are properly covered.
Going to formal events can get pricey. I asked Lindsay if it's OK to skimp on shoes, since I never wear these kind of fancy, schmancy heels and she said yes. So I hit the mall and got shoes on sale at Nine West for less than 30 dollars! Score!
You can check out the Emmys Sunday at 8 PM EDT on CBS.

In October, 1983, the Human Relations and Welfare Commission of the City of Berkeley held a public hearing on "Examining the Use of Marriage to Determine Benefits and Liabilities in Berkeley and the alternatives".
As a result of that hearing the City Council adopted a Policy in December, 1984 extending employee benefits to domestic partners as a way of addressing inequities that occur when benefits are limited to married couples because same gender cohabitating couples cannot marry and opposite gender cohabitating couples choose not to marry.
In June, 1991, the City Council extended the policy recognizing domestic partnerships beyond City employees to provide the general public the opportunity to register as Domestic Partners. This Policy implements that City Council directive.

Greener economy – The contribution of SMEs is essential
SMEs contribute roughly 64% of the industrial pollution in Europe and they find it more difficult to comply with environmental legislation than large companies. Up to 24% of SMEs actively engage in actions to reduce their environmental impact (mainly by reducing their energy consumption). Lack of expertise, lengthy approval procedures for new products and lack of consumer demand are the main obstacles that prevent SMEs from entering green markets.
There are 23 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the European Union, representing 99% of all businesses and providing around 90 million jobs in the single market. SMEs are the backbone of the European economy and their contribution is essential for pursuing the goals of 'Europe 2020', the EU's strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
Green products and services
Green products and services are those with a predominant function of reducing environmental risk and minimising pollution and resources. For this survey, products with environmental features (eco-designed, eco-labelled, organically produced, and with an important recycled content) were also included.
According to the definition used in this Eurobarometer, green jobs are either:
jobs related to the production of goods or to the provision of services that benefit the environment or optimise the use of natural resources; or
jobs whose characteristics involve use of practices and processes which either more environmental friendly or use fewer natural resources than today.
As a result, the total amount of green jobs measured by this Eurobarometer is linked both to resource-efficiency processes and to the production of green products and services. Examples include a chemical technician testing air samples for pollution emissions levels of the production process, a worker contributing to the production of systems that reduce water pollution emissions, an operator of renewable energy equipment to produce electricity for use within the company

Tina Fey never had a master plan for the end of "30 Rock." She wasn't even sure if, this time last year, NBC Chairman Robert Greenblatt was about to pick up the phone, cancel the show and preempt a graceful exit for her decorated sitcom.
"We'll never really know," Fey says with a laugh. "I know on our end we were ready to finish our stories. We wanted one last season to wrap it up, get out at the right time and feel good about it."
"30 Rock" ended its seven-year run with a 13-episode season that culminated with a bittersweet series finale that tied up the saga of the "TGS" family in a way that stayed true to its funny, flermy core. We talked to Fey about crafting the show's farewell, balancing its tone, and Kenneth the page's strange powers.
Was a 13-episode final season always the plan?
We felt we could really control the arc of the story with 13. So it was a request we made to Bob [Greenblatt], and he said yes so immediately that I can't help but think he was pleased he didn't have to pay for 22 of them.
Did you find the shorter season creatively invigorating?
It was exciting. Things could finally happen! With episodic comedy, you spend a long time wanting the characters to grow — but not too much. So now we could do a bunch of big things.
Like Liz and Jack winding up in bed together, albeit fully clothed.
More than fully! In that moment, I wanted Liz and Jack to finally, openly discuss, "Well, why didn't this ever happen?" It's the kind of fun stuff you can do on your way out that you can't on Season 4.
Series finale episodes are hit and miss. Did you have a model for what you wanted to do with "30 Rock"?
"The Mary Tyler Moore Show" is a classic. The "Cheers" finale was good, but I didn't remember it was two hours. It was farther-reaching than I remembered.
Did you watch it again?
We watched a lot of series finales. Every day at lunch we'd watch one. And then as it got closer to our series ending, our reaction to these would get increasingly emotional. The turning point came when one of our writers, Tracey Wigfield, started crying as Frasier wheeled Martin's recliner out of the room. "Uh-oh! Here it comes!" That was a really good series finale, by the way. And "iCarly." I kept telling everyone to watch that.
What lessons did you learn from your finale marathon?
That it's OK to give the actual characters little moments to say goodbye to each other. That's why we felt like "The Girlie Show" should also be ending, so it would build in them getting to part company with each other on-screen.
And you had those emotional moments and yet it was funny too, very much keeping with the tone of the series.
That was important. I remember watching the "MASH" finale as a kid and thinking, "Wow. That was a real tonal departure!" That "MASH" finale was sad!
Did you always have particular places you wanted characters to end up?
I wanted Liz to marry and adopt the kids but keep working. For Jack, we had been clinging to the idea that he'd become mayor of New York. But the series ending didn't time with the election, and so we walked away from that.
Kenneth running NBC seems a hopeful comment on television's future.
It's very hopeful. Kenneth's love for television and belief that it's a good thing and brings joy to people really does reflect the way we on the staff feel. We all grew up in the '70s watching shows like "MASH" and the Norman Lear shows when television was the place where great stuff happened.
Jenna singing "Rural Juror" over the closing montage felt like your show's version of Bette Midler singing "One for My Baby" to Johnny Carson.
We wanted Jane [Krakowski] to sing one more time, and why not enjoy the wonderful manipulative device of singing a lovely song over our last 30 seconds. But it had to be one of our weird songs, since we've always had a thread of jokes about how music can manipulate you even when it's meaningless.
And then you cut to the "St. Elsewhere" moment where, many years into the future, an ageless Kenneth looks into a snow globe. He's still president of NBC and Liz's great-granddaughter is pitching him a "30 Rock"-style show.
We always knew Kenneth is immortal, right? And I liked the notion that everyone in the future is multiracial, but Liz's children in particular because ... well, we don't know which of her adopted children is the grandparent of that child. But we will find out in the "30 Rock" young adult book series!

This article is part of a series on the
Policies and issues
The Maastricht Treaty (formally, the Treaty on European Union or TEU) undertaken to integrate Europe was signed on 7 February 1992 by the members of the European Community in Maastricht, Netherlands.[1] On 9–10 December 1991, the same city hosted the European Council which drafted the treaty.[2] Upon its entry into force on 1 November 1993 during the Delors Commission,[3] it created the European Union and led to the creation of the single European currency, the euro. The Maastricht Treaty has been amended by the treaties of Amsterdam, Nice and Lisbon.
The treaty led to the creation of the euro. One of the obligations of the treaty for the members was to keep "sound fiscal policies, with debt limited to 60% of GDP and annual deficits no greater than 3% of GDP."[4]
The treaty also created what was commonly referred to as the pillar structure of the European Union.
The treaty established the three pillars of the European Union—one supranational pillar created from three European Communities which includes ECSC, EAEC and EC (European Community), the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) pillar, and the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) pillar. The first pillar was where the EU's supra-national institutions—the Commission, the European Parliament and the European Court of Justice—had the most power and influence. The other two pillars were essentially more intergovernmental in nature with decisions being made by committees composed of member states' politicians and officials.[5]
All three pillars were the extensions of existing policy structures. The European Community pillar was the continuation of the European Economic Community with the "Economic" being dropped from the name to represent the wider policy base given by the Maastricht Treaty. Coordination in foreign policy had taken place since the beginning of the 1970s under the name of European Political Cooperation (EPC), which had been first written into the treaties by the Single European Act but not as a part of the EEC. While the Justice and Home Affairs pillar extended cooperation in law enforcement, criminal justice, asylum, and immigration and judicial cooperation in civil matters, some of these areas had already been subject to intergovernmental cooperation under the Schengen Implementation Convention of 1990.
The creation of the pillar system was the result of the desire by many member states to extend the European Economic Community to the areas of foreign policy, military, criminal justice, and judicial cooperation. This desire was set off against the misgivings of other member states, notably the United Kingdom, over adding areas which they considered to be too sensitive to be managed by the supra-national mechanisms of the European Economic Community. The agreed compromise was that instead of renaming the European Economic Community as the European Union, the treaty would establish a legally separate European Union comprising the renamed European Economic Community, and the inter-governmental policy areas of foreign policy, military, criminal justice, judicial cooperation. The structure greatly limited the powers of the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Court of Justice to influence the new intergovernmental policy areas, which were to be contained with the second and third pillars: foreign policy and military matters (the CFSP pillar) and criminal justice and cooperation in civil matters (the JHA pillar).
The Maastricht criteria
The Maastricht criteria (also known as the convergence criteria) are the criteria for European Union member states to enter the third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and adopt the euro as their currency. The four criteria are defined in article 121 of the treaty establishing the European Community. They impose control over inflation, public debt and the public deficit, exchange rate stability and the convergence of interest rates.
1. Inflation rates: No more than 1.5 percentage points higher than the average of the three best performing (lowest inflation) member states of the EU.
- Annual government deficit:
- The ratio of the annual government deficit to gross domestic product (GDP) must not exceed 3% at the end of the preceding fiscal year. If not, it is at least required to reach a level close to 3%. Only exceptional and temporary excesses would be granted for exceptional cases.
- Government debt:
- The ratio of gross government debt to GDP must not exceed 60% at the end of the preceding fiscal year. Even if the target cannot be achieved due to the specific conditions, the ratio must have sufficiently diminished and must be approaching the reference value at a satisfactory pace. As of the end of 2010, only six EU member states, Bulgaria, Estonia, Poland, Luxembourg, Finland and the Czech Republic, still meet this target.[citation needed]
3. Exchange rate: Applicant countries should have joined the exchange-rate mechanism (ERM II) under the European Monetary System (EMS) for two consecutive years and should not have devalued its currency during the period.
4. Long-term interest rates: The nominal long-term interest rate must not be more than 2 percentage points higher than in the three lowest inflation member states.
The purpose of setting the criteria is to maintain the price stability within the Eurozone even with the inclusion of new member states.[4]
The signing of the Treaty of Maastricht took place in Maastricht, Netherlands on 7 February 1992. The Dutch government, by virtue of holding Presidency of the Council of the European Union during the negotiations in the second half of 1991, arranged a ceremony inside the government buildings of the Limburg province on the river Maas (Meuse). Representatives from the twelve member states of the European Communities were present, and signed Treaty as plenipotentiaries, marking the conclusion of the period of negotiations.
The process of ratifying the treaty was fraught with difficulties in three states. In Denmark, the first Danish Maastricht Treaty referendum was held on 2 June 1992 but a shortfall of fewer than 50,000 votes resulted in the treaty not being ratified.[6] After the failure, alterations were made to the treaty through the addition of the Edinburgh Agreement which lists four Danish exceptions. The treaty was eventually ratified the following year on 18 May 1993 after a second referendum was held in Denmark,[7] with legal effect after the formally granted royal assent on 9 June 1993.[8]
In September 1992, a referendum in France only narrowly supported the ratification of the treaty, with 51.05% in favour.[7] Uncertainty over the Danish and French referendums was one of the causes of the turmoil on the currency markets in September 1992, which led to the UK pound's expulsion from the Exchange Rate Mechanism.[citation needed]
In the United Kingdom, an opt-out from the treaty's social provisions was opposed in Parliament by the opposition Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs and the treaty itself by the Maastricht Rebels within the governing Conservative Party. The number of rebels exceeded the Conservative majority in the House of Commons, and thus the government of John Major came close to losing the confidence of the House.[9] The British electorate was never given the opportunity to vote directly on the changes brought in by the treaty.

2014 UW schedule previews: Arizona
Our series of opponent previews rolls along with a look at Washington's 11th game of the season -- a mid-November trip to Arizona.
WASHINGTON AT ARIZONA, Saturday, Nov. 15 (Kickoff time TBA)
STADIUM: The game will be played at Arizona Stadium, an on-campus facility that seats 57,400. It also now features the Lowell-Stevens football facility, a $72.3 million operations center on the north end of the stadium that opened in August 2013, at the height of the Pac-12's facilities spending spree.
ARIZONA LOCATION: Tucson, Ariz. (Population 526,116, as of 2013)
ENROLLMENT: 40,223, as of the 2012-13 school year
MASCOT: The Wildcats.
2013 RECORD: 8-5 (4-5 in Pac-12). The Wildcats played a cupcake nonconference schedule, easily dispatching Northern Arizona, UNLV and Texas-San Antonio before losing their first two Pac-12 games at Washington and USC. Still, Arizona started the season with a 6-2 record after victories over Colorado and California, but UA lost three of its last four games -- to UCLA, Washington State and Arizona State -- before taking a 42-19 victory over Boston College in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl, which is a thing.
COACH: Rich Rodriguez (16-10 in two seasons at Arizona; 91-58 in 12 seasons in FBS overall)
RETURNING STARTERS: 13 (6 on offense, 6 on defense, and one punter, according to the Pac-12 prospectus)
KEY RETURNERS: WR Nate Phillips (So.) (51 catches, 696 yards, 7 TDs in 2013); WR Samajie Grant (So.) (47 catches, 373 yards, TD); WR Austin Hill (R-Sr.) (Missed 2013 season with knee injury; 81 catches, 1,364 yards, 11 TDs in 2012); OL Mickey Baucus (R-Sr.) (38 starts at LT in three seasons); OL Fabbians Ebbele (R-Sr.) (37 starts at RT in three seasons); LB Scooby Wright (So.) (83 tackles, 9.5 TFL, 0.5 sacks, INT); DB Jared Tevis (Sr.) (83 tackles, 4 TFL, sack, INT); DL Reggie Gilbert (Sr.) (34 tackles, 7.0 TFL, 4.0 sacks)
KEY LOSSES: RB Ka'Deem Carey (349 carries, 1,885 yards, 19 TDs); QB B.J. Denker (233-for-381 passing for 2,516 yards, 16 TDs, 7 INTs; 141 carries, 949 yards, 13 TDs); RB Daniel Jenkins (65 carries, 411 yards, TD); TE Terrence Miller (40 catches, 467 yards, TD); LB Jake Fischer (99 tackles, 3.5 TFL, sack, INT) LB Marquis Flowers (93 tackles, 11 TFL, sack, INT); DL Sione Tuihalamaka (50 tackles, 11 TFL, 5.0 sacks); DB Shaq Richardson (55 tackles, 3.0 TFL, 3 INTs); DT Tevin Hood (37 tackles, 7.5 TFL, sack)
2013 STATISTICAL RANKS: 36th in Scoring Offense (33.5 ppg); 31st in Total Offense (458.5 ypg); 97th in Passing Offense (193.5 ypg); 11th in Rushing Offense (264.9 ypg); 39th in Total Defense (24.2 ppg); 62nd in Total Defense (401.1 ypg); 70th in Passing Yards Allowed (233.2 ypg); 69th in Rushing Defense (167.8 ypg). Here is the full report.
BIGGEST 2014 PRIORITY: Some key pieces of Arizona's offense are set. Others are far from it. The Wildcats are certainly set at receiver (they return their top two pass-catchers from 2013, plus Hill, their best receiver in 2012, and a pair of potential big-impact transfers in DaVonte' Neal and Cayleb Jones), and along the offensive line, where four starters return. But the quarterback and running back positions remain quite unsettled. The Wildcats don't have a player on their roster who has attempted a collegiate pass, and a bevy of similarly inexperienced running backs are in the unenviable position of trying to replace Carey, one of the nation's best backs the past two seasons. Fifth-year senior USC transfer Jesse Scroggins, redshirt freshman Anu Solomon, third-year sophomore Texas transfer Connor Brewer and fourth-year junior LSU-then-JUCO transfer Jerrard Randall are competing to replace Denker, who rushed for nearly 1,000 yards in 2013 while proving a serviceable passer in Rodriguez's ultra-fast offense. Here's a good rundown from Anthony Gimino about where that competition stands. UA's experience at linebacker took a hit, too, with the departures of Fischer and Flowers, and the Wildcats will also rely on new faces up front with the loss of defensive tackles Tuihalamaka and Hood.
SCHEDULE NOTES: It's another pretty soft nonconference schedule for the Wildcats in 2014, with home games against UNLV and Nevada, and a less-than-intimidating trip to Texas-San Antonio. Arizona misses Stanford and Oregon State in Pac-12 play, but plays five conference road games, taking trips to Oregon, UCLA, Washington State, Utah and California. The opportunity exists, though, for a 4-0 start, with the three nonconference games coming first, followed by that trip to Cal.
WASHINGTON-ARIZONA ROSTER TIES: Arizona's roster includes one Seattle product -- Sir Thomas Jackson III, a fourth-year junior linebacker who attended O'Dea High School. Bellevue High School DT Marcus Griffin is part of the Wildcats' incoming freshmen class. And you'll surely recognize the name of Trey Griffey, the oldest son of former Seattle Mariners star Ken Griffey Jr. Washington's roster lists four players who played high-school ball in the state of Arizona -- DE Marcus Farria (Peoria), WR Taelon Parson (Gilbert), WR Kendyl Taylor (Chandler) and LS Ryan Masel (Phoenix). Also, Arizona offensive line coach Jim Michalczik was a UW employee for about two months when Steve Sarkisian was first hired in December of 2008 -- Sarkisian hired him away from California to coach the offensive line -- but Michalczik wound up leaving to serve under Tom Cable as the offensive line coach of the Oakland Raiders.
UW-ARIZONA HISTORY: Washington leads the all-time series, 19-10-1. The Huskies won last season's rain-drenched meeting 31-13 at Husky Stadium. UW's last trip to Arizona Stadium in 2012 resulted in a 52-17 defeat, and the Huskies haven't won in Tucson since Isaiah Stanback and Scott White keyed a 21-10 victory in 2006.
ARIZONA'S BEST SEASON: Arizona has never won a national championship or played in a Rose Bowl. Its best record came in 1998, when the Wildcats' lone blemish was a 52-28 defeat against UCLA -- the eventual Pac-10 champions -- en route to a school-best 12-1 record and a 23-20 victory over Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl. Arizona finished that season ranked No. 4 in both major national polls.
HOW WAS SPRING BALL?: Here's a story taking a look at Arizona's biggest questions prior to their spring game in April.
WORTH READING: Rodriguez cleverly used a video for charity to make a subtle recruiting pitch to five-star defensive tackle recruit Kahlil McKenzie. It didn't work: McKenzie committed to Tennessee five days ago.
NOTABLE NON-FOOTBALL GRADS: Here's a list put together by the Arizona Alumni Association. A few highlights: Geraldo Rivera, loud, annoying blowhard; Jerry Bruckheimer, film producer; David Foster Wallace, novelist and author of the acclaimed Infinite Jest
FOR COVERAGE: Daniel Berk covers the Wildcats for the Arizona Daily Star. Anthony Gimino has covered Arizona for 20-plus years.

Dear Editor,
On Friday, Nov. 4, I attended the Veteran's Day Ceremony at Washington County High School.
It was a very impressive ceremony. Everything was well planned and came off great. The speakers especially, Mr. Osbourne were very interesting. We even got to hear the band and Mr. Powers sing for us.
To the students: your contribution and behavior should make the staff, teachers and parents proud.
The spread for lunch was easily four star.
I was expecting more veterans and visitors. They missed a great day.

The practice of Network Security Monitoring (NSM) is so broad that it encompasses both traditional IDS/IPS and other network information gathering techniques, all focused on providing an intrusion analyst with the best possible information in the shortest amount of time. NSMWiki was started by a group of analysts, is written by analysts and it's sole purpose is to help analysts. As it is sponsored by the Sguil project, there is obviously a lot of Sguil-specific information here. However, not everyone who does NSM uses Sguil (we're working on that). Consequently, we view NSMWiki as more of a general NSM resource.
Like any other Wiki (e.g., Wikipedia), NSMWiki is a collaborative environment for sharing all sorts of IDS- and NSM-related information. Anyone is free to read and contribute as they see fit. Please do try to keep things on topic. Anything vaguely related to NSM, IDS, traffic analysis or other network security topic is fair game. Just by visiting NSMWiki, you're already helping to make it a popular source of information about NSM. Thank you.
If you're interested in doing more, the best thing you could do is to contribute something. If you know of a subject that needs to be covered here, feel free to write about it in the wiki. If you're not sure what topic to start with, you can always start with one of our Wanted Pages.

If you really want Washington's chattering classes to pay attention to something, an old saying goes, leak it to the media.
Whoever leaked the Justice Department's 16-page confidential "white paper" memo on the use of armed drones to NBC News sparked a long-overdue debate about something that makes both political sides feel uneasy: targeted killings by drone -- especially when the targets are American citizens.
Drones aren't the problem. As tools of war they're a lot less likely than traditional bombing to kill innocent civilians. They avoid the hazards of putting American boots on the ground. As retired Marine Gen. Stephen A. Cheney, who heads a defense-oriented think tank, put it, "Any time you can use a drone instead of using a Marine, I think it's a good thing."
Most other Americans love drones, too, judging by the polls. An overwhelming 83 percent in a Feb. 8 Washington Post poll approved of Obama's drone strikes overseas. But support fell to a less-robust 65 percent if the terror suspects are American citizens living abroad.
Targeting our fellow Americans has been a very real issue since September 2011, when a drone strike in Yemen killed Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, two al-Qaida operatives and U.S. citizens. Another strike two weeks later killed six others, including Awlaki's 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman, another American.
Although none had been formally charged with any crimes by the U.S. government, it's pretty clear that Awlaki had it coming. The American-born cleric was believed to be directly involved in the infamous "underwear bomber" plot, among others. With their English skills, intelligence experts say, he and Khan, an Internet publisher and propagandist, provided important inspirational voices to potential recruits in the West.
There probably would be fewer questions about their rights to due process if we were in a conventional declared war. But the post-Sept. 11 counterterror war often has found itself on shaky legal ground.
I objected when the Bush administration appeared to stretch reasonable legal and moral limits on torture, detentions, renditions and targeted killings -- and I object just as strenuously to President Barack Obama administration dancing around the seriousness of this issue. He's a former constitutional law teacher. He should know better.
That debate has stirred up with a new fury after NBC's Michael Isikoff revealed the white paper memo. It formally lays out criteria under which the U.S. government can kill Americans by drone who are "senior operational leaders" of al-Qaida or "an associated force" -- even when there is no intelligence indicating they are engaged in an active plot to attack the U.S.
We sort of knew that already. Atty. Gen. Eric Holder endorsed the constitutionality of targeted killings of Americans in a speech at Northwestern University Law School last March. He said such hits could be justified if government officials determine the target poses "an imminent threat of violent attack," although he did not define how "imminent" the threat has to be.
Neither does the memo disclosed by NBC, which is undated.
And last May, White House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan also cited domestic law and the Constitution to justify drone strikes.
But the confidential white paper goes farther than Holder's and Brennan's statements. For example, it "does not require ... clear evidence that a specific attack ... will take place in the immediate future."
Instead, it says, an "informed, high-level" official of our government may determine that the targeted American has been "recently" involved in "activities" that pose a threat, and capture is "infeasible" -- although the memo does not define "recently" or "activities."
The white paper, in short, invites more questions than it answers. Congress in its oversight role needs to engage in a thorough debate over how drone strikes can be conducted without handcuffing our nation's ability to strike quickly and effectively.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein suggested a new layer of judicial oversight similar to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which issues secret warrants for wiretaps.
If so, the authority should be granted broadly enough to respond to strike requests without waiting for court approval, yet narrowly enough to avoid taking out the Bill of Rights as collateral damage.

Sydney weather at this time of year is just like New York. Cool mornings, warm afternoons, and cool evenings – layering like this is a great option. Even without the sweater the look still feels refined with the shirt buttoned-up like that.

On the Street……Sweater Shorts, Sydney
CommentsClose comment
81 comments
I love this cind of pants. They are so cute, fashionable at the moment and interesting. Love it, you must have a very good inspiration to dress like this.
Nice oversize sweater. I love those pants!!!
oh i think i know that guy!
Super cool outfit
Oh, Sart. Come on.
The ankle sneakers and the giant sweater and the prim touch of the buttoned-up shirt – it's too incoherent on a grown man.
Minus the shirt, we see this look pretty much everywhere but it only works with a surf or skateboard in hand and if you say "dude" a lot.
I DO like his hair and his expression and the way he's standing…. his glasses too.
Great proportions! i love the way he's pulled his sweate neck over like that. this photo made me smile, i just really like his look!
clearly illustrative of the distinction between "well-dressed" and "fashionable." Interesting proportion, but he looks like an absolute fool
I have been watching at your Australian pictures.
I was not expecting any original or historical style from that part of the world.
I take away a confirmation.
But tell me, how did you like it?
i love his trousers, they're wonderful!
Oh no….Not the extreme drop-crotch again! And in plaid?!
His sweater is too large but it might look all right if his pants weren't so ridiculous.
I do like his glasses and the buttoned up white shirt.
What??? Refined? Are we looking at the same picture? I don't even know where to begin…
homeless chic anyone? not lovin the pants but i love the nonchalance in the way he wore his sweater.
he is my size
The refined top half looks as though it was Photoshopped to the messy bottom half. So I like this look 50%.
The glasses are great.
ahh nothing like day drinking in spring with post brunch malaise, such ease.
Robert Smith.
He works at Ksubi I think.
You beat me to it Stephanie Clayton. Exactly!
I love those pants!!!!!!
He looks like someone who stumbles in late for class.
this is like Hansen gone wrong…maybe "fashionable" but looks horrid in reality
i was kind of hoping the low crotch look had died forever but i guess it just moved to australia.
I don't know: that askew sweater is a little too "flashdance" for my taste.
Great summer looks in Australia…
I really feel I have to ask you about this — I noticed a little trend in Montreal, long men neck ties, passing the crotch, 1/4 to 1/2 way down the thigh.
I think its a great look, it has the motion of a scarf. Have you seen this around? What are your thoughts?
It's funny that people are taking his look so seriously; he's just having a laugh. I'd never dress like that, but I love his sense of playfulness!
love it.
refined? riiiight
This is excellent!
I like this look from about the top of the head to the mid-shoulder. After that, it's awful! Maybe I am missing something but this is just unflattering and he looks ridiculous and clownish. If this is the direction fashion is moving in, let me get off while I still can.
A buttoned shirt (all the way to the top, no less), with the oversized slouchy jumper & harem shorts, bashed up converse…ah! And the glasses – love it!
He looks sloppy. Despite that, I still think he's very handsome. Now that's style!
I can picture him wiping his nose on that sleeve.
I agree that he looks like someone who overslept, grabbed some close out of the hamper, and still hasn't had a cup of coffee. This look doesn't do it for me, sorry.
Sloppy, whether by accident or not, has never been seen as a good look by me.
is that joelllllll?
One word : Perfect
<3 best look
I would agree that this look seems extreme – but what one can take away from it is the idea of a patterned short, white shirt and a (moderately)oversized v-neck for spring layering. His hair and the glasses are right on. Its a great look if done in moderation; but thanks to the over the top take on it here for making it stand out.
I'm so proud of Sydney for stacking up with the rest of the world on your blog. Even if in a slightly different way.
i'm not sold on the outfit…
but I like that pants.
the photo is excellent throughout, the look is better from the waist up though
Wa~h! That looks so comfortable! I like how he can carry off the oversized clothing look and manage to avoid looking sloppy. And I want his sweater.
Dork chic.
I want to cuddle up to this guy…where can I get one?
i think this looks delicious. i would like to be friends with him! yum.
Looks like he put his legs thru the arms of a jacket. I like his white shirt, glasses, hair, face…but the rest of it…not so much.
Refined? There's little about this look that could possibly be termed "refined."
Oh dear. I think he's wearing a sack. And those shoes are not acceptable, not like that.
I think the sweater makes him look a lot heavier than he really is. Also the low crotch on the shorts make his torso/legs look so disproportionate, which I'm not a huge fan of. HOWEVER, the swear looks amazingly comfortable. It looks made to wear sitting around the apartment on a sunday morning, coffee and newspaper in hand. I also like the mixture of patterns/textures. The glasses are lovely.
Cool outfit, love the pattern of the shorts. There's a certain silhuette in these three last pictures, elongated torso, sloping soft shoulders and low hung trousers/skirt. Stylized one, like a drawing. I dig it.
Just so people other countries know, this is him expressing himself, not a distinctly Australian fashion taste. I think many fashion conscious Aussies would wonder why he does this(me included) but he is expressing himself the way he likes, at least that part is cool.
I still don't get it though, it looks like he got a plaid shirt mixed up for pants. POOPY!
Sorry, but this isn't cool at all. How on earth is he supposed to walk normally with a crotch that low? And the shoes are a disaster.
You're all forgetting that Scott gets inspirations from part of these outfits, its not always about the whole look. In this case he's even told us – it's about the layering.
So what if the guy is wearing dirty cons or he has baggy pants, the inspiration has come from the 'how' he is wearing the clothes, not the 'what'. Some of you need to pull your head out and step down from the pedestal…
love the expression on his face, and the glasses.
like others, not sure about the pants, i think they kinda ruin the look…
i think i look like that when i wake up :-), less good looking, of course :-p
i wish i were wearing that right now! it's perfect!
the pants are a little large but, the cut is something i hope to reproduce for myself. but I'll be wearing it with heels and a smaller proportioned shirt.
thats such a luck – to have special sense… of wearing clothes in such relaxed way…
Everything old is new again, I guess. This look like what I wore in college in the mid-80′s, except for the drop-crotch. I wonder if he ever wears a brooch at his buttoned-up collar and an oversized thrift shop blazer with the sleeves rolled up.
I think I'll listen to the Smiths this afternoon.
the pants might be by henrik vibskov from the s/s2008 collection. they have some similar ones this year as well
Layering??? Refined???
You're joking, no?
This looks like it belongs more to Facehunter than Sartorialist.
the shorts/pants are from Henrik Vibsov, Danish designer.
Come on, people, do not be so narrow-minded. This is great blog and interesting comments in it – thanks to everyone, however, sometimes it seems that the only look what most of You, guys, find fashionable and worth mentioning is something tight and branded. It is not a science to find the right colors that match, slim and a bit short trusers, slim shirt and jacket, hot shoes, throw on a scarf and highlight it with some bright accessory. But this is all the same… Indeed, this extremely tight look looks awful with skinny bodies, what is majority on the streets. However this is something different, this is individual touch. Think out of the box – this is not about, how to dress "the right way", but rather interesting way and way that fits Your lifestyle, body, situation and grabs the attention. It is not about this particular photo and probably the guy is not the style icon, but rather about the overall opinion in general. be opened, be enthusiastic, be creative! Peace! :)
ok if the point of the blog was to take photos of people who look good in a normal sense then he would be taking photos of everybody. the point is that this look is unique to this individual and that is why it is worth photographing.
Overall, I'd give him credit for creating and even pulling off this "homeless chic" look (or whatever you want to call it) but I really don't like the extreme drop-crotch pants. It's gotta be one of the most unflattering things designers ever came up with.
is that a pair of bernard whihelm?
Wow, i love the look, i wonder if it would look as good with a bi chromatic approach, you know, white or black sneakers, white shirt, black sweater and black/grey shorts with checks or lines? Like a formal suit but totally insane, maybe throw a skinny tie in there to make it more punk rock…
this is the best on the sartorialist and didn't expect it to drop from the end of the world, i changed my mind now!
Yeah Joel!
To Anonymous who wanted critics to 'think outside the box'… perhaps comments were directed less at the model's outfit than to the Sartorialist's choice of words. Describing this look as 'refined' is just laughable, and throws out of the window the accepted meaning of 'refined' (characterised by polish, elegance and subtlety). Clearly, a new vocab is needed., or at the very least, more precision with language.
i think this is brilliant. there's something about his decidedly cavalier physical stance and purposely disheveled clothing that i think automatically brings him right back to chic. besides, someone who didn't care about his look wouldn't be sporting such killer eyewear. bravo, brother!!
I wanna give him a good aussie go!
So artschool. Im over this already.
i love how the relaxed sydney attitude comes across in his style!
i like the harem pants… so grunge, so nineties.
Love those shorts. Looks a lot like danish born, London based, Henrik Vibskov. They a launched again this season in new colours. See http://www.henrikvibskov.com
there is something very grungy yet sexual about this image and this outfit… idk…
henrik vibskov went to st martins but is in fact copenhagen based!
I thought this was an old photo of marc jacobs for a moment.
I'm not sure that's a compliment.

I've been given the task of evaluating nnCron LITE and like what I see. I do have a question about it though, which other people have asked.
I'm trying to set up a perl script to run at set intervals. My cron.tab file was
*/15 * * * * * C:\wamp\www\count.pl
but that didn't work - the DOS window flashes up, I get "Start result: 0" in the log file and nothing happens.
I've tried including the path to the Perl interpreter in the table, like this:
*/15 * * * * * C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:\wamp\www\count.pl
with the same result (even encasing the two paths in quotes)
Even putting the above commands in a batch file and running it as follows:
*/5 * * * * * C:\wamp\www\count.bat
doesn't work.
What am I doing wrong?
Best wishes

While wandering the aisles at the Southeast Bike Expo, my eye was immediately drawn to the Felt tent, because unlike most of the vendors who were pushing their mountain bikes heavily (understandably, given the season), the guys at Felt had their new 65X Cyclocross bike prominently on display. With a retail price of $1749, this disc brake-equipped bike might be one of the first we'll be seeing this Fall on courses country-wide. I had the guys give me a "guided tour" of the bike and tell me a bit about their decisions for the components and the disc brakes.

An Emacs theme is basically a set of faces. Emacs has a predefined set of core faces for basic things like comments, keywords, etc and by modifying those you can significantly alter the appearance of Emacs. Many modes add faces of their own as well. Prior to Emacs 24 the most popular way to incorporate custom color themes into Emacs was the color-theme package. While it usually got the job done it had some problems that we won't be discussing here and more importantly - it's a third-party package, that's not part of Emacs proper. Emacs 24 comes with a selection of built-in themes that you can choose from, so you're no longer bound to the default theme (which many find quite ugly). To choose a new theme just do a M-x load-theme (tab completion is available for the names of the available themes). At this point you can give the command a try with the tango theme. If you like a theme so much that you'd want to use it all the time you can put in your Emacs configuration (.emacs or init.el for instance) like this:
(load-theme 'theme-name t)
If you'd like to return to the default-theme just do a M-x disable-theme.
Create Custom Themes
Emacs 24 finally introduced a new standard way of dealing with color themes (based on Emacs's built-in customize facility). While it doesn't have a proper name (as far as I know) it's commonly referred to as the deftheme facility, since deftheme is the name of the macro you'd use to create such a theme. ( deftheme has actually been around since Emacs 23, but it was heavily improved in Emacs 24 )
How do you create a deftheme theme? Quite simply actually - just do a "M-x customize-create-theme". You'll be presented with an UI prompting you for a theme name, description and faces. After you save the theme a file called name-theme.el will be written on your filesystem. Here's its skeleton:
(deftheme demo
"Demo theme")
;;; list of custom faces
(provide-theme 'demo)
There was also an online theme generator here, but it seems to be down at the moment.
If dislike customize, you can just have a look at the source code of the built-in tango (or any other) theme and use it as a reference.
Once you've created the new theme you'll have to drop it in a folder that's on the custom-theme-load-path. I'd suggest the following:
(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path "~/.emacs.d/themes)
If you're an Emacs Prelude user you're already covered. This folder exists and is automatically added to custom-theme-load-path by Prelude, so all you have to do is drop there the themes you'd want to try out.
You may find the rainbow-mode useful when developing color themes. If fontifies strings that represent color codes according to those colors. The mode is known to be a great addition to css-mode, but I find it very helpful with color theme development as well. It's also included (and enabled) in Prelude by default.
The Emacs package manager package.el (formerly known as ELPA) is gaining a lot of popularity lately and the community Marmalade repository already houses a few Emacs 24 themes that you can install from there. If you're developing a theme that you'd like to submit to Marmalade it's imperative that the theme modifies the custom-theme-load-path in an autoload - otherwise it won't be of much use. Add the following snippet (or something similar) before the provide-theme line if your custom theme:
(when load-file-name
(add-to-list 'custom-theme-load-path
(file-name-as-directory (file-name-directory load-file-name))))
I'd also advise you follow the proper naming convention name-theme.el so that it's apparent that your theme is deftheme compatible.
Oh, and one more thing - porting themes from color-theme to deftheme is really simple (just have a look at the old and the new version of Zenburn in its repo), so you should really consider porting all the themes you maintain to deftheme.
