Goodness. It's been a while hasn't it? Sorry, that wasn't my intention, but being under the weather and extremely busy with work for the last few weeks hasn't left me a lot of time to write. It's actually kind of a shame, because I have some things I've been wanting to tell you. First though, let's wrap up Chicago, shall we?
Our last day in the Windy City was spent walking up the stretch of Michigan Avenue known as the "Magnificent Mile" and back down to the Chicago Art Institute. The "Mag Mile" is reknowned for its shopping, though these days, somewhat depressingly, it's just full of the same mall stores you see everywhere else. The tulips were its saving grace.
Gorgeous, endless beds of them were planted on the City's major thoroughfares throughout the months of April and May as a sort of public art exhibition. They lined the full length of the Magnificent Mile and the riverfront along Wacker Drive, and huge beds of them filled Millenium Park. Each bed was carefully designed and color coordinated like an enormous flower arrangement. It was truly something to behold.
We didn't do a lot of actual shopping on the Magnificent Mile, but my mother could not resist the American Girl Place doll store.
I'm not much of a doll person myself, but even I fell for some of the more elaborately costumed ones and their furnishings, like the Swedish table and chairs set below. I was gaga over the "Josefina" doll's jade green bed with woven Mexican blanket and sheepskin rug - and the seventies "Julie" doll with her roller skates and lunch box with miniature Hostess cupcake.
Upstairs they have the "regular" dolls - which come in different colors, hairstyles and features to offer the owners their best chance at finding a match for themselves. These come with pink hoodie sweatshirts and other less elaborate but still adorable "modern" outfits. Also on this floor was the tearoom - which had a surprisingly elegant menu, and plenty of tables available even though it was Mother's Day.
We also saw the doll "Hair Salon," where you can get your doll an updo or ponytail for around $10.00 - and the Doll Hospital, where a box of tissues sat on the counter next to the debit card terminal.
Moving on down Michigan Avenue, we decided to stroll into the Drake Hotel, one of Chicago's oldest and grandest, to see what was going on. Mothers' Day brunch was being served in the ballroom and tea was being offered in the lobby, complete with costumed Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. I love old classic hotels, and the Drake just has that feel of one of those hotels that has always been and still is in the middle of the action - like the Plaza in New York or the St. Francis in San Francisco.
On the way back down Michigan Ave. I snapped this photo of a classic "gangster moll" gown in the window of a nearby shop. It truly looked like it belonged in Chicago and nowhere else.
We made our way back down Michigan Avenue to Millenium Park and and the Chicago Art Institute. Sadly we were a week too early for the opening of the new Renzo Piano designed Modern wing - and by extension the new fancy restaurant. We ate a surprisingly forgettable lunch in their basement cafeteria. Normally I love museum cafes, but this one was the pits - as my mom likes to say.
After lunch we toured the galleries and saw some of the most famous artworks of our time. Did you know that American Gothic is supposed to depict a farmer and his daughter? All this time I thought they were a couple. Oops.
Nighthawks by Edward Hopper was one of the works I most looked forward to seeing. It's so evocative and has wonderful color and dimension.
This is probably the crown jewel in the museum's collection - Georges Seurat's Sunday Afernoon on La Grande Jatte. It even inspired the Sondheim musical "Sunday in the Park with George." It's lovely in person - I especially like that the woman on the far right has a monkey on a leash. We also saw several original Toulouse Lautrec posters and works. I got a little overdose of those in the 90's, but they're still spectacular in their full size original versions.
I especially enjoyed the stunning design and decorative arts collections. The skyscraper art deco bookshelf in the background and modern furnishings are still cool...
and I just loved this Viennese coffee service.
After soaking up as much culture as we could stand, we walked back down Michigan Ave to our hotel on the riverfront. Chicago is chock full of these amazing art deco office buildings that once housed the offices of companies (even whole industries) that no longer exist. For example the Carbide and Carbon building which has been converted into the Hard Rock Hotel. Thankfully all of the stunning art deco details of these buildings have been preserved - just look at those light fixtures, would you?
Dinner that night was at Cafe Spiaggia - the slightly less expensive and more casual wing of the Obama's favorite Chicago restaurant, Spiaggia. It's a little hard to find, up a couple of floors in a rather nondescript office building on the North end of Michigan Avenue. The cafe is a warren of hallways and narrow spaces. Ask for one of the tables in the window bays - they're much more comfortable. (The photo above is of our 1st table - sandwiched between the bar and a party of six - which we left when one of the window seats came available.)
The service wasn't the snappiest, and the atmosphere was a little loud and cramped, but the food we ate at Cafe Spiaggia was some of the best of the trip. This chicken under a brick (which I believe they also serve in the main restaurant) was as crispy as duck confit and served with a nicely balanced vinegar-spiked demi glace over spaetzle - slyly adding some distinctive German flavors to an Italian dish. I think that might even be rosemary on top - normally it's my kryptonite, but this dish was so good I didn't even notice.
Our second dish was a carbonara-like pasta, topped with a softly poached egg and tossed with asparagus and crisp prosciutto. The housemade pasta was al dente yet tender and though it had cooled a tad too much by the time I got a bite (already holding its curled shapes) the flavors were nicely balanced and the egg was perfectly cooked.
One of my biggest regrets as we got ready to leave the next day was that I didn't make it to Hot Doug's - the hog dog stand out in the suburbs that specializes in duck fat fries. That will have to wait for another trip (and there will be another trip) but I did manage to squeeze in a pretty respectable Chicago dog at Gold Coast Dogs at Midway Airport. (By the way - can I get a hell yeah for Sluggos - the Chicago dog place that used to be in La Jolla and UTC back in the 80's? I miss them like crazy.) I had a Polish dog with everything, and I have to say, it was a lot better than the one I had from Superdawg on the other end of the airport on a previous visit. Nice snap, good charred flavor, plenty of condiments - very satisfying.
After we finished our dogs, at my mom's urging, we got in line for popcorn at Nuts on Clark, just around the corner. I was skeptical - after all, packaged cheese and caramel corn is usually pretty stale - but the line doesn't lie. If you're flying through Midway - after your Gold Coast dog - do yourself a favor. Ignore the chocolate and nuts and get yourself a bag of mixed cheese and caramel popcorn for the plane - maybe a few gift bags too. You'll pay a little more for it than you really think you should, but I'm willing to bet you'll be darned glad you did when that drink cart comes rolling down the aisle.

Wow, do we really not have a topic on this? I can only assume that I either suck at searching or it has taken place entirely under other topics such as the Barack Obama topic?
Anyway, the PPACA has been in effect in the United States, in some stages, for a while now, and people are starting to feel changes due to it. There are still other stages which are scheduled to go into effect, and it's also front-and-center in politics as Mitt Romney faces off against President Barack Obama. The Supreme Court has ruled that the PPACA clause that requires everyone to maintain an insurance plan (it actually has options which allow people to file for exclusion for various reasons) is constitutional and effectively labeled it as a tax, which is now the latest twist the Republicans are using to convince everyone it is the end of the world as we know it.
I was curious what experiences anyone may have actually had with changes caused by this bill. But if this really is our first dedicated topic on it, discussion about the bill is certainly welcome as well.

Pine Islanders, and area residents, should keep their eyes peeled for Mike Minnick and his best friend, Bixby, bicycling on Stringfellow Road. They are easy to spot because Bixby is Mike's dog.
"Yesterday we rode down to St. James City and I have to tell you this place is beautiful," Minnick said. "We've rode over 3,300 miles together so far. We left Lubbock, Maine, Sept. 7 and rode south along the east coast until we reached Key West on Christmas Day.
"I found Bixby four years ago in an animal shelter in Austin, Texas," he continued. "She was only 3 months old at the time and we've been together ever since.

Mike Minnick and his traveling companion Bixby on Pine Island.
"I was born in Tulsa, Okla., but was raised in Austin, Texas. I met some people in the Big Bend National Park area who had taken two years to bicycle across the country. For 10 weeks I got to pick their brains and listen to their stories and right there I decided this is what I want to do this big epic adventure. And I want to do it with my best friend Bixby."
Bixby rides in a well cushioned container mounted on the back of the bicycle. Along the side it says "Where's Bixby.com"
"I think we will be setting off for California in a few days," Minnick said. "People should follow us on our 'Where's Bixby' Facebook page.
"This has been the most fun thing I've ever done," said Minnick. "It's kind of an adventure of a lifetime. I don't want to stop."

Let's face it, even the most security-aware employees will have a lapse every now and then. Or maybe your company security policy isn't all it can be, and your employees are doing the minimum because they don't know or don't have the inclination to practice safer security measures.
A good security audit will show that most security breaches are preventable. To prevent these breaches, companies need to develop and enforce solid security policy plans.

Extreme Fieldwork on the Bloody Bay Wall main content.
by AMNH on
Museum Research Associate David Gruber, assistant professor at The City University of New York (CUNY), describes a diving trip in 2011.
We wanted to include a panoramic image of a magnificent coralscape in Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence, and Bloody Bay Wall [off Little Cayman Island] was the perfect place.
But capturing Ansel Adams-like vistas are impossible under water, where sections of the light spectrum—especially reds—are absorbed within a meter. We need to get in very close to our subject and use flash photography to capture the reef 's true color. We have to repeat this process hundreds of times over the wall face. Then, the small consecutive images are painstakingly stitched together to create a life-sized, true-color view.
Underwater photographer Jim Hellemn developed this process to create a 20-foot by 70-foot true-color image of the Bloody Bay Wall in 1999. Returning to the wall 12 years later (with the support of a National Science Foundation Connecting Research to Public Audiences grant) allowed us to overlay the images and really see the way a coral wall ages. Some of the corals are disappearing, some of the sponges have gotten huge, and some new things have taken up residence on the wall. It's amazing.
We also wanted to apply Jim's methods to photograph the coralscape at night to capture a phenomenon few people encounter in person or in photographs: marine biofluorescence. As you can imagine, capturing natural biofluorescence is even more of a challenge. Fluorescence on the reefs works a bit like those glowing posters where you need to shine a black light on them in the dark to see their glow. Corals have the same biological property: proteins in their tissue absorb light and then emit it back as biofluorescence. On our dives, we shine blue light—a specific wavelength of pure blue, using very sharp-edged filters, science-grade filters we equip so they can go under water—and the corals emit back in otherworldly green and red.
For this trip, we left at dusk, and descended down a vertical cliff that drops thousands of feet below the surface to start photographing. It's a challenge. We can't use any lights because we're only interested in the light emitted by the corals and reef-dwelling organisms, which makes it difficult to see if we're in the right focus frame. So we use a red laser to give our lenses something to focus on. We often also use a measuring stick to keep the camera lens at a set distance from the wall so our images will have the same focus distance. We're under water, breathing through a regulator, and it's totally dark except for the red focus point. John [Sparks] swims alongside, guiding us across the wall, making sure we don't drop down too deep. And then we shoot. Shoot, shoot, shoot. The results are cool and unveil a hidden beauty—you'll see them in the exhibition.
Don't miss the Bloody Bay Wall interactive exhibit in Creatures of Light.

The PLHS sailing team, fresh from its National Championship Mallory Cup (fleet race) win on San Diego Bay, headed to Seabrook, Texas over the Memorial Day weekend to wage another challenge for the Baker Cup (team race) — and won again.
The Baker Cup event required each of the 11 participating schools to sail three boats in each race with no more than nine student sailors on its roster. With six persons needed to race, teams were allowed three alternates to adjust for wind conditions and other variables.
Races were sailed in 13 foot-plus FJ (Flying Junior) dinghies.
A different team-scoring system left the Pointers atop the standings with a 14-3 record. Second was Annapolis High School (13-4), and St. George's School finished third (11-6).
Skippers Trevor Hecht, Will La Dow and Scott Sinks — all seniors — finished their prep careers. Crew members included juniors Jennifer Johnston, Mercedes McPhee, Rebecca and Johannes McElvain. Sophomore Megan Lansdale completed the Pointers' eight-person team.
This marks the seventh Baker Cup win for PLHS since 2003.

PLHS swimmer Jason O'Brien's attempt to set a county record at the recent CIF finals fell short, but the USC-bound senior still turned in All-American times.
O'Brien finished second in Div. II in both the 200-meter and 500-meter freestyle events, qualifying for All-American status in each.
His time of 1:39.44 in the 200-meter is the 56th-fastest time in the U.S. this year.
In the 500-meter, his time of 4:22.70 in the 500-meter ranks as the sixth-fastest time in the nation to date. O'Brien had set his eyes on the county record (4:21.10), which he beat at a meet in Texas earlier in the season.
In both CIF events, O'Brien was bested by Mt. Carmel senior and Auburn University-bound Grant Schenk, who won the 200-meter by 1.41 seconds and the 500-meter by 0.61 of a second.
Ironically, the winning 500-meter time in Div. I was nearly eight seconds slower than O'Brien's time.

Hi All – I just finished up from my internship last Friday and, whereas it has been different not having to go to work every morning, my project write-up has kept me busy.
The SSgA Chief Economist, Dr Chris Probyn, spoke on the US and European economies at our final Wednesday lunchtime speaker series and it went down well. There was also a reception for the SSgA interns on the top floor on Thursday evening where CEO, Scott Powers, gave an encouraging wrap-up speech. The food at the reception matched the magnificent views (or was that vice versa?!) and it was a last chance for the interns to meet SSgA executives, share war stories and swap contact details.
SSgA (and State Street Corporation) really has developed an excellent internship program and I'd advise anybody thinking of a internship in finance to check it out. Not only will you get the chance to work with helpful and interesting people, you will also get a chance to meet interns from schools all over Boston and, indeed, the US.
I had a thoroughly enjoyable summer and fantastic opportunity to learn, not only about the world of global macroeconomics but about other aspects of the business as well. People will take the time to help or sit down and talk to interns. I would like to thank the Economics Team (and my bosses), Dr Chris Probyn and Mr Geoff Somes, for their direction and guidance and I had a great time working with them. Likewise, I'd like to thank Prof Torrisi for his guidance on my project.
I look forward to meeting the rest of the class and hearing your stories in person having followed your blogs throughout the summer. I hope you've found my blogs interesting and, for any new or prospective GMBA students, do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.
All the best,
Paul Miney, GMBA Student
This weekend, me and a colleague of mine took a five-hours bus ride to hike in the Yellow Mountains. After the cable car took us up the mountain we enjoyed the spectacular views at Lion Peak and the Grand Canyon. We walked in a sea of clouds, saw absurd stones and pines. In the morning, we got up at 4:45AM to hike with hundreds of Chinese to the "Refreshing Terrace" to see the sunrise. It was an amazing experience and a refreshing one too. The temperature was below 20° Celcius at the top of the mountain, compared with 42° in Shanghai. I strongly recommend that place for everyne who travels China.
As I approach the last week of my internship at SSgA, I just wanted to touch on the learning opportunities available at the company outside of the regular day-today or project work. Every week, representatives from several companies visit SSgA to give their view on different matters. For example, last week the Chief Economist of Decision Economics visited to talk on the world economy and to discuss generally about which countries/regions they had taken positions. We also had a senior analyst from Bank of America talk about the Chinese banking system. We've had several analysts from the Eurasia group speak on political risk for various regions and international politics – China, Japan, Europe, the Middle East, etc. I've seen these analysts on television news programs!
Furthermore, we've had visitors from Barclays Bank, JP Morgan and economists and political consultants from the Observatory Group, to name but a few. These meetings are of interest to the Economics Team but are also of interest to traders, analysts, portfolio managers and specialists. Although I can't make it to all, I try to get to as many of these as I can as they provide huge learning opportunities and to allow me to get a different perspective on current issues.
If any of you reading this end up interning at SSgA, make sure you take these opportunities to expand your knowledge.Paul Miney, GMBA Student
The last month at Whyte & Mackay has been quite busy. I've been working on multiple projects for both domestic & international markets. While most of these projects require me to be in the office, late last month I was sent to the Isle of Jura- a large, mountainous island in Scotland's Inner Hebrides region that is inhabited by only 180 people (but 6,000 red deer!). It's here that Jura single malt whisky is distilled in Craighouse, the only village on the island. Though Jura lies roughly 12 miles off the coast of Scotland & is only 60 miles as-the-bird-flies from Glasgow, it takes nearly 4 hours to get to via plane, bus, ferry & coach.
The 3 days I spent on the island were certainly not your typical days at the office! Because there is only one hotel/bar on the island, you tend to meet people, locals & tourists alike, very quickly. It was interesting to speak with so many whisky enthusiasts, some of whom had travelled from as far away as Australia & Japan.
The amazing natural scenery on Jura isn't done justice through pictures, but I'll post one anyway.

To make sure I don't go dull, I took a trip out to the Great Wall. There are different parts of the Wall that you can visit and I ended up at Mutianyu Great Wall. You can take a cable car or hike up to this section of the wall, I opted for the cable car. Below are some photos of my trip.
Cable Car ride
Great Wall Hike
It was a nice day trip and it was a much needed escape from the city. I enjoyed the fresh air and got a great work out.

I was in New York over the weekend and took some time to visit what for many is the epicenter of the financial world - Wall Street, which is about 1.1 km or 0.7 miles long. It worked its way into popular culture via the 1987 film of the same name through characters such as Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) and Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen).
It used to be that most of the banks and brokerage houses were on Wall Street but with the advent of computerized trading technology, many of the big players have decentralized. However, there are still many interesting sites. On one end is Trinity Church which dates back to 1846 (although the first version dates as far back as 1698). Further down the street on your right is the New York Stock Exchange. The Bank of New York Mellon has its headquarters there as well as Deutsche Bank's US headquarters. The Federal Reserve apparently had gold vaults underneath the street. On week days, Wall Street is teaming with brokers, traders and bankers but at the weekend, it is ruled by tourists. Former employees give tours now showing all the major buildings that house(d) companies that played a major role in the financial crisis. Whether or not you're interested in finance, it is well worth a visit the next time you are in New York.

"Shanghai recorded its highest temperature in 140 years on Sunday - 40.6 degrees Celsius. Temperatures will remain above 38 degrees throughout the week as a subtropical high-pressure ridge continues to sit above eastern China." (ChinaDaily)
When I call my friends in Germany these days, who are also complaining about the hot weather, I can only smile, since the heat and huminity in Shanghai is not comparable to anything else. Right now, I believe that even the heat in the Sahara is easier to deal with. At the weekend, nobody was on the streets and the few who went out tried to stay in the shadow. The air condititioners are running 24h now, because there is no other chance to survive.
But there is also a good thing about the summer heat and its the pool, where we go whenever we can to realx and cool down.

Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade police release 911 call from fatal smuggling trip
Miami-Dade Police on Friday released the recording of the harrowing 911 call they received at 1:01 a.m. Wednesday from an overcrowded motorboat taking on water.
"We're 25 miles out from South Beach," an unidentified man told the female operator. "We need rescue out here, fast."
The man sounded relatively calm. But behind him were anguished cries from many people.
The 25-foot white boat had violently flipped over — seven miles away from shore, not 25 miles — with 15 smuggled migrants from the Bahamas, Haiti and Jamaica on board. Four women died in the dark waters.
On Thursday, federal authorities arrested six of the surviving 11 migrants, including the boat's captain and crewman, for attempted smuggling and for returning to the U.S. after having been deported — several of them after being convicted of serious crimes.
But the caller didn't give any details to the emergency operator.
Three times the operator asked him what the vessel's GPS coordinates were. No answer. She asked what kind of boat he was on.
"Ma'am, I don't know," he said.
"OK," she asked. "What happened?"
"The boat is sinking," he said.
Then, after about a minute and a half, the line went dead.
The operator called the U.S. Coast Guard to relay the call. He said he was 25 miles out, the operator repeated.
"Cell phone wouldn't work out that far," the Coast Guard officer said.
The operator gave him the latitude and longitude coordinates from the call, and the caller's cell phone number.
"He told me they were sinking," she said. "I heard a lot of people in the background."
What kind of noise were they making? the Coast Guard asked.
"Yelling," she said.

Join the growing movement for more freedom, limited government, and America's founding principles.
For far too long, Congress has been on an unsustainable binge of spending, taxing, and borrowing. Unchecked, the course we are on now will cripple our economy, undermine our prosperity, and lead to fiscal insolvency. By robbing the future of opportunity and freedom, it will destroy the American dream for future generations.
But this fate does not have to be our future.
- Will America reassert individual freedom—or continue our rapid slide toward European-style socialism and suffocating government control of our lives?
- Will our children be enslaved by federal debt as Washington politicians tax and spend away our future? Or will we raise our voices and say, "No more"?
- Will Obamacare be the beginning of a new, less free America—or will we one day look back on its repeal as the turning point that restored freedom to our citizens?
You can help decide the answers. America is not doomed to inevitable decline. At moments of crisis in our history, Americans have risen up to save freedom. And they are rising up today.
All that is required, as Ronald Reagan once said, is "our best effort, and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds; to believe that together, with God's help, we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us."
We ask for your support today to accomplish this task. Will you join with The Heritage Foundation as we, together, seize the moment and change our country's course? Your help is needed now more than ever—and history proves that when like-minded people like you join forces in the cause of freedom, they can make a difference!
Advancing the tradition of liberty
In 1776 we were told that no upstart colonists could defeat the strongest nation in the world, yet we decided to change the course of history.
In 1860 we were told the Union could not hold and that America was over, yet we brought forth a new birth of freedom.
In 1980 we were told that the American century was at an end, yet we launched a great economic expansion, rebuilt our military, and revived our national spirit.
Today, The Heritage Foundation is leading the historic charge against the unsustainable binge of spending, taxing, and borrowing that threatens to destroy our nation's future.
Join us! Be part of The Heritage Foundation, America's most influential conservative "think tank," with 270 experts and staff based in Washington, D.C. Heritage experts passionately advance the conservative principles and ideas of America's founding.
What the experts are saying
"No organization on earth is a better supplier of innovative, conservative ideas grounded in founding principles than Heritage."
—Sean Hannity
"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of someone else's money. Heritage has the answers this country needs."
—Rush Limbaugh
"No policy shop has more clout than the conservative Heritage Foundation."
—Wall Street Journal
Providing solutions for America
Born in 1973 and instrumental in past conservative comebacks, including the Reagan Revolution, Heritage's vision is to build an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish.
Heritage's staff pursues this vision by performing timely, accurate research on key policy issues. Then they effectively market these findings to Congress, the media, top level influencers, and grassroots Americans.
When you become a Member today, Heritage will put your gift to work immediately to:
- Equip, educate, and empower congressional conservatives and their staffs to advance and stand firm on conservative principles.
- Testify on Capitol Hill before numerous congressional committees about the impact of tax hikes, welfare reform, Obamacare, military defense, energy expansion, and so on. and why conservative reforms will make a difference.

At The Pier – 3
CommentsClose comment
24 comments
I thought we might see scarves for men creeping in again……
Hey, it looks cool.
What an adorable guy. Great hair. Great glasses. And as ascot? Yeah!
im jealous of his cool looking camera
It takes a lot of confidence to pull off such a classic look. I love the neck tie, the windblown hair, the crisp white shirt, and yes, another photo of a man in a vest, this time with short sleeves. Smart.
Hot flash…
Must step away from the computer…
– desertwind
this guy definitely picked this outfit out just for you sartorialist
it doesn't really look as natural as the rest of your…new yorkers do
what a beautiful day that was at the pier
Spring crisp.. lighthearted, approachable.
Does he SERIOUSLY carry that camera around?! What an EVERY season must have! Nice capture.. He and Pier #1 probably have probably perused and fingered through similar racks in. What about the shoes Sart???
Is it a waistcoat? – I find his style great. Only the shirt with short-sleev ed – no!
WHO IS THIS GUY??? Did you ask his name??
Mr Satorialist this fellow is the best dressed male that you have photographed so far. Also love the hair.
The black and chrome finish of the Hasselblad camera goes so well with his outfit!
Schu, did he take a pic of you with his camera? Maybe YOU're feature on HIS blog! ha ha
Your photo skills Sartorialist are fantasic. This person is far from fantastic. His look does bring down what I look for in your site. Which is style. Want fashion you find that anonymously. This person wants it to badly to be cool.
just beachy :) love the look, love the attitude. his outfit looks like it's just "thrown together" but I am certain that he has taken great care in acquiring each piece, and matching them together.
what a beautiful insouciant look!
Adorable… particularly with the ascot. Kudos to him!
He did take pictures of those of us who were there from afar before he came over and introduced himself- I figured, either this is the strangest coincidence in the world, or he's a fellow Sartorialist!
IF this is the kid that went to University of Michigan.. then BRAVO! it's good to see another Michigander get his look established. i've been a fan of the Sartorialist since its incetion and have always wanted to be spotted, but I am glad that Christophe (if it's him) was spotted! He was seriously always running around campus with his confidence and camera.. I'll find you on the facebook or myspace! Keep it up.. For those that think he has a fake appeal to him.. think again!
where is the buzzed hair ???!?!!?
… or is he THE Satorialist? :)
He's got a 1970s Taiwan/HK romance movie star vibe to him, like Alan Tang..
This is perfect!
No – this is not me but if the photo from DNR comes out well I will post it on the blog when I get it
I like the ascot look so much I wanted to go out and get one, but unfortunately they seem hard to come by – at least in Chicago. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Ohh the outfit is cute…but have you heard of skin and hair care. That completes the look… Think baby think before you want pictures taken of you. Mr. Sartorialist I simply adore you and think you are the best think since hermes evening bags

Mexico duo Giovani dos Santos and Miguel Layun want coach Miguel Herrera to be retained despite a second-round FIFA World Cup exit.
The former Club America tactician took charge in October and, after steering Mexico to a 9-3 intercontinental play-off success over New Zealand, was given the job on a full-time basis.
Mexico, who endured a tumultuous qualifying bid before Herrera's arrival, caught the eye in Brazil and cruised through Group A unbeaten after beating both Cameroon and Croatia, while they also drew 1-1 with the hosts.
But the old last-16 curse struck again as the Netherlands scored two late goals to inflict a sixth successive second-round loss on Mexico, ensuring they fell short of the target set by the Mexican Football Federation.
Upon the team's return home, Herrera and the Federation directors refused to acknowledge whether the 46-year-old will remain as coach, but Dos Santos and Layun are certain he is the right man for the job.
"Since Miguel arrived, he has returned hope to the players and fans," Dos Santos is quoted as saying by El Universal.
"He is a coach who has given so much to the team. Today the team has a very good image.
"On the field, if we haven't been better then we have at least been on par with the great powers, so I am sure Miguel has all the confidence of the Federation and he is a coach will give the Mexican people a lot of joy."
Layun added: "I am sure he will be retained. I've always said, not just here with the national team but also with my club, that continuity is important. Long-term projects are better.
"The coaching staff in general has shown great capacity. (We've shown that) we can put together a competitive team with a winning mentality, which is the most important lesson from this.
"This team never gave up and it's logical that we continue the (current) process."

Every year, the American Library Association's list of "challenged" books — ones whose subject matter is controversial enough to faces opposition from parents, educators and other readers — never fails to shock, surprise and depress us. It usually includes a number of unspeakably classic must-reads, especially for junior high and high school students: Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, J.D. Salinger's Catcher In The Rye and Toni Morrison's Beloved, for instance.
Hate groups like the KKK are technically "allowed" to cite their First Amendment right to convene, while nervous administrators are still carrying out the administrative equivalent of book burning. (Man, is it a mixed-up world we live in.)
According to MSN News, this past year, the ALA reports 464 challenges, a 25 percent jump since the year before because they'd opened up a forum for Internet complaints. And some books from previous years have fallen off the Top 10 list, such as the Harry Potter series, The Hunger Games and Twilight.
50 Shades of Grey ranks at #4 of most-frequently-complained-about library books for... well, obvious reasons. (The good news is that SUV-driving moms in need of their fix can always just head over to Barnes and Noble.) Before the list was even officially posted, libraries in Florida and Georgia had removed the book from their shelves, citing "semi-pornographic" and "poorly written" content.
So, you might be asking, what book on Earth could possibly be more blunt and risque than 50 Shades of Grey? Other than a couple literally having sex on top of a book, in public?
Number one on the list is the children's book franchise Captain Underpants. Yes, Captain Underpants. Why?" "Offensive language, unsuited for age group, toilet humor," and, some adults say, a disrespect for authority.
FYI: Other children's literature on the list included YA novels dealing with suicide and one illustrated book for younger kids called And Tango Makes Three, based on the story of two male penguins in the San Francisco Zoo who raise a baby penguin.

Texas voters will decide the fate of nine proposed amendments to the state constitution in the coming election.
Early voting began Oct. 21 and runs through Nov. 1. Numbers reported Oct. 25 showed that voting is on track to outpace turnout in recent elections.
The Secretary of State�s office reports daily voting totals for the 15 most populous counties in the state, and by the end of Oct. 24, the fourth day of early voting, about 95,000 Texans had cast a ballot at the polls in those counties. That was more than double the 45,379 voters who had voted at the same point in 2011 constitutional amendment election, the Secretary of State�s office said.
The Nov. 5 constitutional amendment election is the first statewide election since photo ID requirements for voting in person went into effect. Computer users who have an Internet connection can see daily voter turnout numbers for early voting in this and past elections by visiting the elections tab at sos.state.tx.us.
Focus of week is safety
On Oct. 21, the Texas Education Agency and Texas School Safety Center at Texas State University jointly pointed school districts and charters toward resources available to help address and combat bullying and cyber-bullying on campuses.
That message, part of Texas Safe Schools Week, Oct. 20-26, fit with a law passed by the Texas Legislature in 2011 mandating that schools make campuses safer for all students. Gov. Rick Perry, in his Oct. 4 Texas Safe Schools Week proclamation, said, �All children deserve to learn in an environment where they feel safe and free from harm.�
State law defines bullying as �engaging in written or verbal expression, expression through electronic means, or physical conduct that occurs on school property, at a school-sponsored or school-related activity, or in a vehicle operated by the district and that has the effect or will have the effect of physically harming a student, damaging a student�s property, or placing a student in reasonable fear of harm to the student�s person or of damage to the student's property; or is sufficiently severe, persistent, and pervasive enough that the action or threat creates an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for a student.�
Texas School Safety Center�s inaugural Texas Bully Prevention Summit in San Marcos is set for Oct. 30.
A&M Israel is planned
On location in Israel on Oct. 23, Gov. Perry and Israeli President Shimon Peres, joined by Texas A&M University Chancellor John Sharp and other TAMU System executives, announced the creation of an international branch of Texas A&M University in Israel.
Funding for development and construction of the campus, to be located in the predominantly Arab city of Nazareth, will come from private donations.
The governor�s office released a statement on the topic, saying, �Locating a branch campus of Texas A&M University in Israel will further strengthen the economic and cultural ties Gov. Perry has worked for two decades to foster between Texas and Israel. In developing the new campus, a strong emphasis will be placed on building bridges of peace and understanding through education among the region's vibrant and diverse cultures and religions.�
Williams resigns from Senate
In early October, state Sen. Tommy Williams, R-The Woodlands, announced he would not remain in office for the 2015 session of the Texas Legislature.
Last week, Williams, an accountant by trade, said he would resign from office, effective at midnight, Oct. 25.
Williams chaired the budget-writing Senate Finance Committee in 2013. In 2011, he chaired the Senate Transportation Committee. He began is legislative career in 1997 as a House member. In 2003 he was elected to the Senate.
Enforcement push slows crime
The Texas Department of Public Safety on Oct. 24 announced results�of an enforcement initiative titled, �Operation Strong Safety.�
Targeting the Rio Grande Valley, this state, local and federal multi-agency effort brought about an increase patrols Sept. 15 through Oct. 4�to address three public safety issues: criminal activity; commercial vehicles traffic on roadways and unsafe driving practices.
�These 24/7 saturation patrols were sustained until the cartels were forced to curtail their drug and human smuggling operations in the targeted area,� the DPS reported. Beefed up law enforcement in the area resulted in decreases in the illegal trafficking of marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamines, U.S. currency and stolen vehicles, plus a list of other positive effects.

Anthony "Tony" La Russa, Jr. (pronounced /ləˈruːsə/; born October 4, 1944) is a Major League Baseball manager for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2004, he became the sixth manager in history to win pennants with both American and National League teams; in 2006 he became the first manager ever to win multiple pennants in both leagues and became one of only two managers to win the World Series in both leagues. He is ranked third all-time for total number of Baseball All-time Managerial Wins list (2,676), trailing only Connie Mack (3,731) and John McGraw (2,763). He managed his 5,000th major league game (2,676-2,320-4 0.536) on June 10, 2011, but the milestone was marred by a shutout loss at Milwaukee. He joins Connie Mack as the only manager or coach in American sports history to reach 5,000 games. His 5,000 games trails only Mack who set the record at 7,755 (3,731–3,948–76), passing McGraw at 4,769 (2,763–1,948-58), on October 1, 2009. He is one of only four managers to be named Manager of the Year in both of baseball's major leagues.

About Larry Harlow
One of the frequently hidden gems behind the rise of Fania as Latin music's label extraordinaire in the late '60s and early '70s, Larry Harlow served as producer for countless Fania LPs, musical director of the Fania All-Stars, and of course, captain of his own Orchestra Harlow, which sailed along with the expertise of many great musicians and at least one of the greatest soneros of all time, Ismael Miranda. Additionally, during a very turbulent decade for Latin music, Harlow had a foot in both contemporary and traditionalist camps: he recorded an impressive Latin opera that was performed at Carnegie Hall but he worshipped the great tres player Arsenio Rodriguez and recorded an album-length tribute after his death.
Harlow, born Ira Kahn in Brooklyn in 1939, was greatly influenced by his father Buddy Kahn Harlow, a bassist and bandleader. He began piano studies at the age of five, and planned to become a jazz pianist until he first heard the mambo while attending Music and Art High School during the early '50s. During the 1964 World's Fair (held in Flushing, Queens), Harlow played piano for Johnny Pacheco's conjunto before creating the Larry Harlow orchestra. Heavily influenced by the Arsenio Rodriguez sound, Harlow modernized it and was hailed a disciple of "El Ciegito Maravilloso" ("The Marvelous Blind One") and was himself dubbed "El Judio Maravilloso" ("The Marvelous Jew"). After Arsenio's death on December 31, 1970, Harlow emotionally moved the Latin music world with the Fania album Tribute to Arsenio Rodriguez in 1971. Two years later, Harlow made headlines again with his Fania album Hommy, A Latin Opera, which was staged at Carnegie Hall. ~ Max Salazar & John Bush

Hey Scott!!!
Praise GOD!! This is the best news. Kelly called me a few minutes ago an asked if I saw the blog. I said yes! She said you didn't comment yet. I told her I was waiting to comment. I'm not sure why. I'm so happy for both/all of you. This is an answer to a lot of prayers. I told Doug that when she comes home, and you decide to have a homecoming party we are flying up. This is truly an answer to pray. You both amaze me more and more everyday. I'm so happy to know you both.
Love and Blessings!

Sounds like things are going well for Carol. That's very good to hear. She seems as though she is a very strong woman. How many more surgeries do they think she'll have?
My neighbor and I were talking and we were thinking that maybe when your wife and my mom are out of the hospital and feeling up to it, we should set up a meet. I think that it would be good for both of them to know someone else who has gone through the same thing and who also has all the obstacles to go over and through.
Let me know what you think!

President's Senior Seminar
PORTfolio recognizes a fundamental connection between a liberal arts education and the world of work. The PORTfolio Program provides opportunities for service learning, externships, internships, and Study Abroad to expand the experiences of the PORTfolio students during their college years. The opportunities available to students are based on the premise that academic knowledge, combined with know-how, with the experience of using such knowledge in the real-world, best prepares a student to succeed intellectually and practically in life beyond college. These opportunities allow students to explore career interests and develop practical skills that will ease their entry into careers and professions, or graduate school programs that they will pursue in the future.
Beginning the freshman year, PORTfolio students blend the theoretical with the practical through service learning projects that place students in the community to explore an issue of their choice. In the sophomore year, externships place students with professionals working in careers related to their interests. An in-depth (semester long) opportunity to develop skills learned in the classroom by applying them to real-world situations comes during the junior or senior year in an internship experience.

During a 1994 episode of Seinfeld, Elaine's boss, Mr. Pitt becomes obsessed with finding a spaceship obfuscated within a stereogram, a computer-generated image that presents an optical illusion in which a 3D image is hidden within a single 2D image to be revealed only when the viewer focuses his or her eyes correctly. To the detriment of a pressing business deal, Mr. Pitts loses three days trying to find the spaceship. First he tries blurring his eyes as if staring straight through the picture before eventually finding success by employing an intensely deep focus.
Placitas resident Gary W. Priester calls creating 3D stereographic images his "all-consuming passion for almost 15 years." Gary has authored three books on stereogram images and is one of two contributors to a Japanese stereogram magazine series which has sold close to four-million copies. His work is mesmerizing in its ability to captivate the viewer. Fortunately for those of us who don't always focus correctly, Gary does us all a favor on his Custom Stereographic Web site by explaining exactly how to see stereograms.
Gary's clarity and focus aren't limited solely to stereograms. He's become a trusted advisor on dining options I might not otherwise know about or maybe even consider, including introducing me to more healthful options. For years I was of the ilk which associated salads with the word "diet," an extension of the word "die." Though my advancing geriatric progression has changed that perception, I'm still not always as attuned to healthful alternatives as I am to where you can find the best new purveyor of green chile cheeseburgers. Fortunately clearer-minded readers of my blog like Gary keep me honest.
Alas, it took almost two years before I followed Gary's recommendation to try Vinaigrette, an environmentally aware "salad bistro" in Santa Fe. Perhaps indicative of my meaty myopia and carnivorous cravings, I also neglected a recommendation from immensely talented writer Wolf Schneider when she interviewed me for Edible Santa Fe. Had the restaurant been named "Blue Cheese" I surely would never have waited.
Vinaigrette opened its Santa Fe doors in November, 2008, the unintended brainchild of Harvard graduate Erin Wade who had never previously worked in, managed or owned a restaurant. Obviously a novitiate no longer, she now owns and operates two of New Mexico's very best and most highly regarded farm-to-table restaurants, having expanded to Albuquerque's Old Town district in November, 2012. Much of the medley of multicolored organic greenery used in her restaurants comes from an absolutely unimpeachable source–her own organic ten-acre farm about half (which includes a 1,200 square-foot greenhouse) an hour north of Santa Fe in the village of Nambe. Local sources are used widely in the Albuquerque operation.
Wholly unlike the middling quality all-you-can-eat salad bar restaurants dotting the fruited plain, Vinaigrette offers a menu showcasing healthful salads in bountiful, but not profligate portions. You won't waddle out of this restaurant wondering how salad can be so filling. Nor will you find such un-salad-like offerings as chocolate muffins, focaccia bread and other high-carbohydrate, high-calorie offerings. That doesn't mean every plate is heaping with barely edible "rabbit food" lacking in flavor or imagination.
The only rabbit-like aspect to Vinaigrette is the tendency for diners to hop from option to option unable to decide which salad to order, so replete with creativity is Vinaigrette's inspired menu. Featuring ten signature salads and seven classic salads, the menu may eliminate any preconceived notions about salad restaurants you may have. It did me…and that's even before studying the available salad pairings, none of which are needed to make any Vinaigrette salad outstanding, but any of which makes it just that much better.
You can pair your salad with meat (lemon-herb chicken breast, grilled flank steak, grilled pork tenderloin, hibiscus-cured duck confit), seafood (seared tuna steak, seared diver scallops, grilled shrimp and the day's fresh fish) or choose from a category called "et cetera" which includes roasted seasonal vegetables, grilled tofu, grilled marinated baby artichokes and baked Panko-crusted goat cheese. Sight unseen, these offerings are more taste bud tantalizing than ingredients which sit in steely repositories for who knows how long at those "other" salad restaurants.
Vinaigrette's palate-pleasing prowess doesn't stop at salads. The menu also includes a bevy of sandwiches, soups and sides. Sandwiches are served with a side Garden, Greek or Caesar salad. The "sides and soups" include Erin's Mac & Cheese, fresh seasonal sauteed Nambe greens, mushroom stew and soup of the day. Vinaigrette also offers beer and wine lists which change periodically to provide variety for guests. There are a few differences between the Santa Fe and Albuquerque menus.
Before launching in Albuquerque, Erin Wade had actually considered making Southern California the home of her second restaurant. As fate would have it, she was then introduced to a long vacant a 3,000-square-foot building on the fringes of Old Town with tremendous potential. Fittingly the edifice was tailored for the type of "green" operation Wade desired, wanting to be "green outside the plate," too. The Albuquerque restaurant features reclaimed pine floors from Dixon, high efficiency lighting tracks, Energy Star kitchen equipment, recycled-content tiles, door hardware made from 90% post-consumer waste, eco-friendly fabrics and zero-volatile-organic-compound paint. Vinaigrette recycles and composes all its organic waste.
The attentive servers at both locations are attired in bright tee-shirts on which the leafy parts of salad ingredients are painted. It takes away much of the mystery as to what "greens" actually are and if you thought lettuce is the principle component of all salads, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Vinaigrette's salads are sophisticated and inventive without being too fru-fru. Even some of my troglodytic carnivorous colleagues will enjoy them.
Even Vinaigrette's most rudimentary salad is an edible work of art. The Garden Salad, a bright mix of baby greens, carrot ribbons, bell peppers and Parmesan cheese tossed in a zippy Romesco dressing is a colorful concordance of fresh and beautiful ingredients resembling a colorful painting. It's more than several orders of magnitude better than what most restaurants call a garden salad, typically a mound of iceberg lettuce, artificially ripened tomatoes, cucumbers and a large dollop of gloppy salad dressing.
If you're a fan of bold flavors, it's possible to enjoy them even with salad. The Cherry Tart, while it may sound like a pastry dessert, is such an bold-flavored salad. It's composed of dried cherries (as fresh and delicious as any I've ever had), mild feta cheese, peppery baby arugula and toasted pecans with a Champagne vinaigrette dressing. Baby arugula has been described as having a "subtle nutty flavor with a radish-like edge." While not entirely accurate, it is most certainly a bold and spicy, maybe even peppery green. It's clearly the star of this salad. The Champagne vinaigrette dressing is lightly applied to allow other flavors to shine.
If you don't necessarily want to experiment with heretofore untried salad ingredient combinations, the "Classic Salads" section of the menu provides more familiar, traditional and time-honored options. It may even restore your faith in how "Classics" such as the Cobb salad should be made and remind you why you loved them in the first place. Kelly Koepke, (erstwhile restaurant critic for the Albuquerque Journal) who can turn a phrase better than anyone in Albuquerque, turned me on to Vinaigrette's Cobb salad. Though she liked my "best of the best for 2012" choices, she was confident the Cobb salad would make my list once I tried it. She was right! I'll let her describe why it stands out: "It's not the usual composed Cobb with gloppy dressing that most restaurants serve. Instead, it's a chopped, tossed Cobb with the perfect amount of tangy dressing. Best. Cobb. Ever."
A small basket of bread is available for the asking. The bread is fresh and delicious with a nice crust surrounding soft, pillowy insides. Best of all, it's served warm. A decanter of olive oil (and malt vinegar if you request it) accompanies the bread to your table. Beauteous breads are also the canvas upon which some of the best sandwiches in New Mexico are made. Vinaigrette's sandwich menu includes some of the classics– Reuben, tuna melt, hot turkey–and some sandwiches upon which inventive liberties are taken to increase their deliciousness.
You might think you've had every variation of the Cubano possible with little discernible difference between most of them. Vinaigrette's Cuban Torta (mustard-roasted pork shoulder and green chile ham, griddled with red onions and Swiss cheese on a split roll with avocado and mayonnaise, chipotle and sweet relish) actually surprised me in many pleasant and delicious ways. The first surprise is the split roll on which the sandwich is constructed. It's not the de rigueur panini-style bread which is often abrasive enough to hurt the roof of your mouth. It's a soft bread somewhat reminiscent of just baked bagels without the chewiness. The combination of chipotle and sweet relish provides a wonderful balance between tangy, sweet and piquant notes that complement the mustard-roasted pork shoulder and green chile ham, either ingredient of which would make the basis of a wondrous sandwich. This sandwich doesn't subscribe to any template of what a Cubano should be and taste like. Viva la diferencia!
Another sandwich replete with surprises is the Morty & Cheese (Mortadella and tangy melted Robiola with scallion yogurt sauce, on griddled and pressed ciabatta). Mortadella is the "Rodney Dangerfield" of cold-cut cured meats, often regarded as just "Italian bologna." As someone who grew up enjoying fried bologna (as well as fried spam) sandwiches, I'll rise to the defense of this maligned meat. Italian Mortadella is a fatty, nicely seasoned meat that goes well with any other sandwich ingredient. That's especially true of a good cheese such as Robiola, a soft-ripened, slightly tangy (with slight notes of sourness) cheese that couples well with yogurt. The sandwich construction department at Vinaigrette obviously understands sandwich harmony. This one has it in spades!
A number of fresh desserts is also available and all hold true to the restaurant's commitment to serving organic and local as much as possible. One post-prandial treat which will impress itself on your memory is a peach berry pie made with peaches, blackberries and blueberries. The peaches are certainly not the canned variety; they have a recently picked texture and taste. This is a lip-puckering dessert also lacking that artificial pectin sometimes used to over-sweeten pies. It's all natural and all delicious.
Even better is a pumpkin cheesecake so good you might wish for fall year-round. The menu describes it simply as "aromatic, autumnal, satisfying!" It has all those qualities and so much more, especially the satisfying adjective. Its aromatic qualities are courtesy of using the right spices in perfect proportion to one another and the pumpkin itself which is garden-picked fresh. For years my Kim and I have experimented with pumpkin cheesecakes and have never managed one quite as good.
In its annual food and wine issue for 2013, Albuquerque The Magazine awarded Vinaigrette a "Hot Plate" award for its chicken souvlaki. Hot Plate awards are accorded annually to some of the city's most delicious dishes as seen by the magazine's editors and staff. The magazine warns that you'll be rooting for an encore after your first slow jam…" with this carrot cake.
Vinaigrette is, dare I say, a welcome departure from the superfluity of Santa Fe style so prevalent in the City Different. Fortunately Santa Fe style, as represented by the bandana-sporting coyote baying at the moon (ostensibly a carnivore who probably doesn't like salads) who has come to symbolize Santa Fe style is adaptive and inclusive and there's a place for great salads in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. That place is Vinaigrette.

HAVELOCK � The Havelock Rams like to run the court.
HAVELOCK � The Havelock Rams like to run the court.
But when there�s a chance to drain an open 3-pointer, they won�t pass it up.
Zack Bruns made four 3-pointers, and scored a game-high 26 points, to lead Havelock�s boys� basketball team to an 87-55 win over New Bern on Friday.
"We want (Zack) to be a leader and we want him to be a well-rounded player," said Havelock coach Bill Fryczynski. "He is a tremendous scorer."
Bruns scored nine-straight points to end the second quarter to extend the Rams� lead to 46-21 at halftime.
Later in the third, Bruns connected on back-to-back treys to bump the Rams� advantage to 59-30.
They built their largest lead of 32 in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
"We got hot in the first quarter and we never looked back," Fryczynski said. "Everything is generated off of our defense. We got that momentum by putting the pressure on them.
"This is the most aggressive team I've had and we got some turnovers."
Michael Bowman added 12 for the Rams and Shandel Granison contributed 10 points and 11 rebounds. Matt Prichard scored nine points to go along with 13 boards and David Carter tallied nine.
Havelock won the rebounding battle, 46-41, and both teams turned the ball over 15 times.
New Bern was led by Jailen Ganus� 13 points and seven rebounds. Chris Mimms poured in 12 and Colin Jacobs notched nine points and 10 rebounds. Theron Noble and Daekwon Gaston both scored eight.
Havelock 41, New Bern 40
HAVELOCK � Natalie Johnson drove toward the basket, pulled up and floated the game-winning basket with 29 seconds remaining to lift Havelock to a 41-40 victory over New Bern.
Jacquia McCullough converted one of two free throws to give New Bern a 40-39 lead with 42 seconds left.
The next Havelock possession, Johnson snuck past a couple New Bern defenders and made her bucket near the free throw line.
New Bern led 9-5 after one quarter, then fell behind, 19-14, at halftime. The Bears took a one-point lead after the third quarter.
Apriel Barrette paced Havelock with a team-high 10 points. Shakina Dyer and Jalisa Wilson both scored eight and Kierra Fleming had seven.
Havelock's defense forced 25 turnovers.
J.J. Jones led New Bern with 15 points and nine rebounds. Tyra London contributed 10 points and eight rebounds.

college rejection time: your life is over
Posted: April 1st, 2011 under apply to college, choose a college, college humor, live better.
Tags: academics, career, future, humor
Hey high school seniors, it's April. Colleges just decided your fate for the rest of your life. If you didn't get into your top choice and you think your life will suck, you're absolutely right.
A recent study by the Department of Education showed that where you go to college is the most accurate predictor of success in the future. If you want to strut in your best business clothes every day for the rest of your life and shove past people on the city streets while talking on your cell phone to your significant other about how you're 2 minutes late to your next boring meeting and that, no, you actually do not have time to see your injured son in the hospital today, tomorrow, or anytime soon—and everyone thinks this is success, right?—then it is absolutely essential that you get into your first-choice college.
The study shows that an overwhelming majority of such people (for convenience's sake, a year after the study, they coined the word "tool") went to the college they most desperately wanted to attend—and that if the college was ranked in the top 10 by the U.S. News magazine the year they enrolled, then their chance for success and wealth was exponentially greater.
But the study dives deeper and addresses more than just wealth, impressive titles, and "success." Even if you're one of the very very few people in the world who just want to be happy (c'mon now, who wants that?), the national overplay of college decisions this month will still color everything you do for decades to come. The conductors of the study analyzed the art of starving artists who do what they love to do and whose happiness levels were higher than the average person. They found that, whether in paintings, novels, or songs, the second most common underlying reference, motif, or theme was college admissions (of course, by far, phallic objects remain number one).
In the last part of this groundbreaking study, interviewers asked over a thousand people on their dying beds what their greatest regret was in life. More than two-thirds responded that they still wish they could rewind back to high school and do everything the white bread way, put a check mark next to everything they were told to do, and get into a better college they could brag about on their resumes for the rest of their lives. They said that they might've found a different—and probably better—calling in life if they attended a better college and that being stuck with an alma mater that was only ranked #11 has given them hot flashes and reminders of their inferiority throughout their lives, often leading to serious stress, destructive behavior, and even diarrhea.
The conclusion of the study? If you received a skinny envelope from a top-notch college, then you are screwed with a capital S.
Happy April Fools' Day!! =)
I certainly hope that was quite obvious.
Whether you're applying to colleges, applying to internships, or applying to jobs, no matter what stage of life you're in, just remember: big names, rankings, titles, fame, grades, salaries, and promotions don't matter much.
People, purpose, laughter, and love matter so much more. People for this interconnected world. Purpose for having a sense of direction and meaning in life. Laughter for enjoying every day to the fullest. And love for caring deeply about anyone and everyone. They're what life is really made of.
You may or may not have tried your best in high school. That's behind you. And you may or may not have been accepted into your top-choice college. Just lead your beautiful life wherever you end up going, whether top choice, second choice, or last choice. Enjoy what you were given. Make the most of any route. Look forward to a fresh start. May you always make all the difference you can with all your gifts to the world and in whatever situation you are in. That's your choice—not anyone else's.

TAVERNIER, Fla. - Jumping out to a 20-6 lead in the first half, UMass Boston (9-2) cruised from there to defeat Fitchburg State (5-5), 76-39, to win the Key Largo Classic at Coral Shores High School. Freshman forward Olivia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) was named tournament MVP after recording a double-double in both games in the event.
Murphy finished the contest with 21 points and 10 rebounds, to notch her fifth career double-double in just 11 games. Also making the All-Tournament Team for UMass Boston was Lauren Perra (Taunton, Mass.), who had 13 assists and 10 points in the championship, and Andrea Suffredini (Milford, Mass.), who had a game-high 23 points with five three-pointers. Perra's 13 assists were a career-high and were enough to give the sophomore guard her first career double-double.
Sophomore forwards Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) and Brittany Moore (Billerica, Mass.) joined with Murphy to dominate the paint. The Beacons pulled down 15 of their 51 rebounds on the offensive end and poured in 30 points in the paint. Morrison finished the game with 10 points and nine rebounds, while Moore added eight points off the bench.
Amy Fahey joined the three Beacons on the All-Tournament Team for Fitchburg State, putting together 21 points in a win over Elmira Sunday.
The win gives the Beacons their second tournament title of 2012, after UMass Boston earned their first UMass Boston Tip-Off Tournament Title since 2007, with Murphy picking up MVP honors in that tournament as well. It also signified the Beacons second victory over the Falcons this year, after the Beacons downed Fitchburg State 70-67 November 20.
In the consolation game, Maine Maritime edged Elmira, 60-59, behind 19 points and eight rebounds from Mary Badeen. The guard earned all-tournament honors, also collecting a double-double (17 points, 11 rebounds) against UMass Boston Sunday.
