Warnock back on Palace throne
Neil Warnock has been appointed Crystal Palace's new manager, the club have announced.
The 65-year-old has signed a two-year deal to return to Selhurst Park, where he managed between 2007 and 2010, as Tony Pulis' replacement.
Warnock, who has not managed since leaving Leeds in 2013, beat former West Brom head coach Steve Clarke to the job after the pair became the front runners to replace Pulis this week.
A Palace statement read: "Crystal Palace are delighted to announce that Neil Warnock has been appointed as their new first team manager with immediate effect.
"Neil has agreed a two-year deal and will lead the team this Saturday in our Premier League game at Newcastle United."
Warnock left Palace for QPR in 2010 after two-and-a-half years in charge and helped them to the Championship play-offs in 2008, where they were beaten in the semi-finals by Bristol City.
After the Eagles went into administration he joined QPR and guided them to a place in the Premier League for the first time in 15 years in 2011.
Warnock was sacked in 2012 before joining Leeds but lasted just over a year at Elland Road, leaving in April 2013.
In March he rejected the chance to take over at Nottingham Forest, while earlier this month he also distanced himself from reports linking him to the Huddersfield job.
Palace had been linked with a series of replacements for Pulis including Glenn Hoddle and Tim Sherwood.
Malky Mackay was expected to be appointed before offensive text messages he sent while manager of Cardiff were made public.
Keith Millen had been in caretaker charge after Pulis' exit, with Palace losing their opening two league games to Arsenal and West Ham.
The club want to keep Millen on the backroom staff with the 47-year-old having been appointed as assistant manager under Ian Holloway in 2012.
He oversaw Tuesday's 3-0 win at Walsall in the Capital One Cup second round, which saw Dwight Gayle score a first-half hat-trick.
After the trip to Newcastle, Palace host Burnley on September 13 in Warnock's first home game back, before going to Everton and welcoming Leicester later next month.

People enjoy new content. The fact that we have to level in order to participate in the new content only makes seeing and defeating it that much more enjoyable. Bigger numbers always make people feel good about the difference between where they have been and how far they've come compared to what they used to regard as big numbers, but these numbers for stats vs their percentages are making reforging seem petty and pointless. 513 crit rating doesn't even equal one percent crit rating?
as it stands I have to whisper myself recount in order to actually see the numbers without them overlapping one another. now I wonder if I'm going to have to export a tell to excel or start using scientific abbreviations in order to understand what I'm looking at.

LOS ANGELES - Since word got out about Sam Simon's cancer, this co-creator of "The Simpsons" and fervent philanthropist has heard from many people online asking to help rid him of his sizable wealth.
"Some people just want a million dollars. Or help with college tuition. And the rest have business propositions," he chortles. "Like that should be my legacy: to lose money on your movie or your moisturizer line.
"I'm bedridden," says Simon, milking the scenario for all its tragicomic worth, "weighing whether to dole my money to people lined up outside the house!"
He laughs, flashing a piano-keys grin. Then he gets serious.
"I'm supporting the charities that I supported during my lifetime," he states, "and I want to continue to do that." With every cent of his fortune.
Simon, 58, isn't exactly bedridden. For this recent interview he has presented himself, sporty in sweater and slacks, to meet with a reporter in the guest house of his swank estate in Pacific Palisades.
He pads into the kitchen and makes himself a coffee before firing up a robust Cuban cigar, then alternately sits and reclines on a wall-length banquette that looks out on his lawn of statuary, including one of the original casts of Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker."
Fitting. Sam Simon has had much to think about since his advanced colon cancer was diagnosed last November after a year of inconclusive tests and mysterious discomfort.
Having defied that diagnosis' original death sentence - he was given three to six months to live - Simon continues to push ahead with no whiff of "Why me?"
"Instead, I think, `This is a really bad situation - and what else can I do to get out of it?'"
What he's doing right now is mobilizing a dozen lines of attack, some traditional, some wacky. But he says one of his new medications weighs him down with fatigue.
"Is this Monday?" he wonders aloud. "I think I've been sleeping since Friday. I'd rather be nauseous than tired, I think."
Pick your poison. Simon is living the nightmare of anyone who so far has been spared cruel evidence of one's own mortality. But Simon seems to frame it mostly with a laugh or a shrug.
Maybe that befits a world-class wag who has long thumbed his nose at authority and other human vanities, who has lampooned the human condition with insight and humor for an audience of millions, and been richly rewarded for his labors.
Simon grew up comfortably in Beverly Hills, but his father was in the garment industry, not show biz, which puts him at a loss to account for his comedic gifts (never mind Groucho Marx lived across the street).
After turning his drawing talent into a job at an animation studio that made cartoons for kids, Simon submitted a script, on spec, to the glorious ABC comedy "Taxi." His script was bought and produced, and Simon, in his 20s, was hired as a staff writer and soon rose to be the showrunner.
From there he joined a new NBC sitcom called "Cheers," where he was staff writer for its ascendant first three seasons.
In 1987 he became a writer and executive producer on the Fox comedy series "The Tracey Ullman Show," teamed alongside James L. Brooks, the comedy legend with whom he had worked on "Cheers" and "Taxi," and, of course, cartoonist Matt Groening. They became the founding fathers of "The Simpsons."
"The Simpsons" began as interstitial cartoon clips aired during the otherwise live-action "Ullman" show until, in 1989, it was spun off as a Fox half-hour of its own. Simon was named creative supervisor, and he hired the first writing staff as well as creating several Springfield citizens, including Mr. Burns, the cadaverous industrialist, and Dr. Hibbert, the buffoonish physician.
Although Simon remained the least-known of the three creators, by many accounts he was the most hands-on.
"You can't overstate his contribution to `The Simpsons,'" says talk-show star Conan O'Brien, who was a "Simpsons" writer and producer in the early 1990s. "No one's smarter than he is."
The show - TV's first successful prime-time animated series since "The Flintstones" nearly three decades before - caught the public off-guard with its sly but perceptive look at the culture.
"With `The Simpsons,' people didn't know what they were gonna see," says Simon. "They didn't have a clue." The show was given time and free reign to flourish by the fledgling Fox network. "I don't think you get that sort of creative freedom with any broadcast shows today."
Simon left "The Simpsons" after its fourth season in 1994 owing to a strained relationship with Groening.
But it was a lucrative departure. His exit deal entitled him to royalties from "The Simpsons" that, as it enters its 25th season this fall, annually pad Simon's wallet by tens of millions of dollars. He has played no role on the show in nearly 20 years (not even watching it, he says), even as his name remains in the weekly credits along with Groening's and Brooks' - and his checks roll in.
This sweet annuity has bankrolled the causes and alternative lifestyle he increasingly came to embrace.
Among his charitable efforts, he established the Sam Simon Foundation, which rescues dogs from animal shelters and trains them to assist disabled veterans and the hard-of-hearing. He donated an undisclosed amount of money to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in 2012 to purchase a vessel for their fleet, which was unveiled last December and named for him.
In March, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' Norfolk, Va., headquarters were christened the Sam Simon Center in recognition of his support for that organization.
Simon's largesse carries over to humans, too, including a Los Angeles food bank feeding 200 families each day in Simon style: with a vegan menu.
Meanwhile, he keeps his hand in the comedy world, consulting a half-day each week on the FX comedy "Anger Management."
"Probably the highlight of my week," he says. "That and my radio show," which he hosts from his home on the online Radioio site - "one's on Tuesdays, one's on Fridays."
If he sees this as a closeted and tentative existence, Simon doesn't let on. A man who boxed for several years as a serious amateur, he now finds amusement in his inability to even handle a car.
"Recently I drove home from UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica, probably a four-minute drive," he reports with a get-a-load-of-this grin, "and I got into three accidents on the way home: I hit a stanchion, a tree and another car. No one was injured. But afterward I thought, `Maybe driving's not a good idea.'"
As with everybody else, time is running out for Simon, who has learned to make no long-term plans, including recognizing any prospective end date. He says death doesn't scare him, however unpleasant getting there may be.
"I'm not sad," he declares with a wave of his cigar. "I'm happy. I don't feel angry and bitter. I want to do whatever I can to survive."

text: Monday, April 08, 2013 PT Investigating Interest in Network Focused on Rehab for People With Amputation Louise Tisdale, PT, a clinical specialist in the United Kingdom, is investigating whether there is sufficient interest to support a new World Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT) network focused on rehabilitation for people with amputation. WCPT networks provide a forum for the international exchange of ideas, experience, and expertise in physical therapy. If you want to give and gain support working on rehabilitating people with amputation around the world, or if you would like to develop relationships with international peers and share information about practice, research, clinical guidelines, and outcome measures, contact Tisdale. Comments Hi - I would be interested Posted by Symantha Reenders on 4/9/2013 7:49 AM I am a BK amputee since a 1969 motorcycle accident. Since 1995 I have moderated AMP-L, a listserv for amputees. I also was a model for undergrad and some grad students in Nashville's Belmont University PT program for several years. With that in mind I can assure you, many of the students I met, while very bright and eager, knew very little about amputation. If I can be of any help with your WCPT conference, let me know. Wayne Renardson Posted by Wayne Renardson on 4/9/2013 2:52 PM I would be interested, as a student, in gaining some insight from such a forum. What I have to offer as far as knowledge and experience is modest, however, I am eager to learn and am well connected within my local diabled community.

About Canada
About Canada
Next Country »
A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically, the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across the world's longest unfortified border. Canada faces the political challenges of meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care, education, social services, and economic competitiveness, as well as responding to the particular concerns of predominantly francophone Quebec. Canada also aims to develop its diverse energy resources while maintaining its commitment to the environment.

As a high-tech industrial society in the trillion-dollar class, Canada resembles the US in its market-oriented economic system, pattern of production, and affluent living standards. Since World War II, the impressive growth of the manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has transformed the nation from a largely rural economy into one primarily industrial and urban. The 1989 US-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) (which includes Mexico) touched off a dramatic increase in trade and economic integration with the US its principal trading partner. Canada enjoys a substantial trade surplus with the US, which absorbs about three-fourths of Canadian exports each year. Canada is the US's largest foreign supplier of energy, including oil, gas, uranium, and electric power. Given its great natural resources, highly skilled labor force, and modern capital plant, Canada enjoyed solid economic growth from 1993 through 2007. Buffeted by the global economic crisis, the economy dropped into a sharp recession in the final months of 2008, and Ottawa posted its first fiscal deficit in 2009 after 12 years of surplus. Canada's major banks, however, emerged from the financial crisis of 2008-09 among the strongest in the world, owing to the financial sector's tradition of conservative lending practices and strong capitalization. Canada achieved marginal growth in 2010-12 and plans to balance the budget by 2015. In addition, the country's petroleum sector is rapidly becoming an even larger economic driver with Alberta's oil sands significantly boosting Canada's proven oil reserves, ranking the country third in the world behind Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.

If you've ever marveled at the look of concentration on the face of a child who tries to fit a square block into a square hole or catch a ball in mid-air, you know that playtime isn't just about fun and games. It's serious business — and toys are the tools of the trade.
But when it comes to playthings that educate as well as entertain, not all are created equal. Here is an age-wise guide to how kids play, and to the toys that not only thrill but also help kids understand the world, learn social and emotional skills, and stimulate a developing brain.
Play in the first year of life is all about exploration. Babies use their five senses to learn about the interesting new world around them: Does an object feel hard or soft? Sticky or rough? What does it do if I drop it? Or put it in my mouth? Most play consists of "tasting" or mouthing an object and shaking, banging, or dropping it.
When your baby develops new motor skills, play becomes more coordinated and complex. For example, at about 4 months old, babies begin to reach for and grasp objects, like a rattle. By 6 or 7 months, that rattle can be transferred between hands. And around 9 months, a newly developed pincer grasp makes it easier for babies to pick up smaller objects, like blocks and other small age-appropriate toys. During this time, play is usually a solitary activity, but playing side-by-side with other babies and imitating activities is common by year's end.
As your baby grows, peer interaction will become more important. But the truth is that you are your baby's favorite playmate. Have you ever danced a puppet in front of your baby's face, only to have him grab it and pull it toward his mouth? Or has he ever squealed in anticipation and delight when you creep toward him, saying, "I'm gonna get you!"
These interactions help your baby learn about language, social relations, and cause-and-effect. Once babies begin to understand how things in the environment relate to each other and how they taste, smell, feel, and sound, babies are ready for the next stage of development: figuring out how they work.
If you think of your infant as a little scientist, using five senses to gain understanding of the world around her, your toddler is an engineer trying to figure out how to take these objects and make them work. It's not just an increasingly curious brain that makes this happen; it's also improved fine motor skills and stronger muscles.
Toddlers are becoming aware of the function of objects, so they're more likely to stack blocks, babble into a toy phone, or drink from a "big kid" cup. In addition, the concept of pretend play starts to emerge. Your little one might tuck a baby doll into bed at night or make "choo choo" noises while pushing a toy train.
This kind of pretend play lays the groundwork for preschool play, when using the oven timer in a play kitchen or ringing the bell in a pretend fire truck signifies your child's growing understanding that each item serves a purpose.
During this time, your tot also will begin to differentiate colors and shapes — so choose toys that are bright, colorful, and fun for little hands to hold. By age 2, most toddlers can kick a ball, scribble with a crayon, and build towers four or more blocks tall. By age 3, they can do simple puzzles and pedal a tricycle.
Expect to see a lot of repetition, as that's how little ones master new skills and learn they have some control over the world around them.
Babies explore objects with the five senses. Toddlers start figuring out how they work. Now, as preschoolers, they will use toys and other objects for their intended purpose, yet also will imagine a world of other possibilities for them: A blanket thrown over a coffee table becomes a secret clubhouse. Modeling clay can be used to make pizza pies that you're asked to "taste."
For a preschooler, the world becomes a magical place without limitations — and preschoolers are the masters and creators of it all. It's not uncommon for kids this age to think they have magical powers and can battle "monsters" and win, or turn into a princess, fairy, or other whimsical creature.
Often, your preschooler will pull you into a fantasy and expect you to play along. It's also during this time that imaginary friends may "appear." This type of fantasy play is crucial to kids' development because it helps them work on their fears, anxieties, hopes, and dreams.
The world is also a stage, so expect to hear lots of "mommy, daddy, watch!" as your preschooler learns one new trick after another and seeks your approval and support for new accomplishments. The desire to connect with others extends to friends as preschoolers begin to learn the give-and-take of cooperative play and sharing.
Pretend play becomes more elaborate. Girls might imagine being princesses; boys might orchestrate crashes on their toy train tracks. And their knowledge of the world is more advanced, so don't be surprised if your preschooler knows exactly how to work the DVD player or make electrical toys (like a radio-controlled car or a video game) work.
Play itself becomes more physical. Why just walk when you can hop, jump, or skip?
Elementary school-age kids are accomplished in ways they never were before. They've grasped an understanding of the world around them and are now moving toward mastering skills that once challenged them, like catching a football or braiding a friend's hair.
This also is the time where talents and interests take hold — a 4-year-old who enjoyed story time may grow to love reading; a 5-year-old who listened to music might want to play piano.
Physical abilities, like large and fine motor skills, are being refined. Children learn to ride two-wheel bicycles and glide on skateboards. Arts and crafts become more intricate, and a child might spend hours weaving friendship bracelets or drawing comic strips.
Peer relationships take on more importance, and your child might be more interested in playing with classmates than with you. But remember that even as your child matures, you are still the most important playmate — so try to carve out some one-on-one time. Family game nights are one way to get everyone together.
And now's the time to try new adventures, such off-road biking, that kids couldn't do when they were younger and need your supervision to do safely now.
A baby staring at a mobile; a toddler stacking blocks; a pre-schooler painting with watercolors — all are activities that can be done independently.
But don't underestimate your role. After all, it's you who put up the mobile, turned it on, and encouraged your baby to follow. It's you who first showed your baby how to stack those blocks. And when you sit side-by-side with your kids and paint, color, or read a story, you give them the attention they need to build their self-esteem and feel loved and secure.
Toys are a tool to help kids develop, but it's parents who nurture that growth.

Arsenal Gallery Exhibition: STRATA
Friday, April 11, 2014
9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
This event repeats every week on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between 3/6/2014 and 4/24/2014.
Please note: This event has already taken place. Please use the Search options on the right to find upcoming events.
NYC Parks is pleased to present STRATA, an exhibition of prints, ceramics and collages by Marie Lorenz, Katy Fischer and Max Warsh. The artists in STRATA collect and arrange found or invented artifacts from the urban environment, including river flotsam, ceramic shards, and architectural details, through various modes of discovery. They use their collections as source material for multilayered, abstract compositions that reframe our familiar surroundings and challenge the division between man-made and organic in favor of a more seamless view of the material world. STRATA is on view in the Arsenal Gallery now through April 24, 2014.
Marie Lorenz creates large scale, collograph prints from objects she collects on her excursions through New York City's waterways. In this new series of prints, Lorenz engages with the mysterious paths the objects have traveled by repeatedly printing the elements in ornate circular patterns, which evoke both tidal vortexes and folk art medallions.
Katy Fischer's ceramic sculpture is reminiscent of archeological discoveries. She is inspired by the way ancient artifacts become evocatively abstract shapes once they are broken, weathered and displaced, not unlike the bits of debris deposited around the city. The shard-like fragments read as both found and made, broken and whole, abstract and representational and suggest intriguing connections and possible histories.
On his walks around the city, Max Warsh photographs architectural facades, which are used as source material for his work. For these new pieces, Warsh photographed buildings in the neighborhood that surrounds the Arsenal. He then reconfigures these found textures, grooved surfaces and cast ornamental details in his studio through cutting, painting and collage to arrive at compositions that reinvigorate our engagement with the visual language of the urban landscape.
In the work of all three artists, the fragment points to a larger more complete whole and a sense that a sum of the parts does or could exist. However each artist works to evade the reveal: we never see the whole building, the actual found object, or the unbroken pot. Rather, these fragmented compositions convey the way memory is an amalgamated fiction rather than a knowable fact.
In conjunction with STRATA , Audra Wolowiec will present the sound installation Weather Language on April 14, 2014, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at the Arsenal. The sound piece will be composed of a mixture of found sounds and vocal interventions that are sensitive to both the Arsenal site and the city at large. Wolowiecs' voice will overlap with the voices of strangers she encountered while walking through the city, creating a sound environment that is as subtle and ambiguous as the weather.The Arsenal Gallery is dedicated to examining themes of nature, urban space, wildlife, New York City parks and park history. It is located on the third floor of the Parks Department Headquarters, in Central Park, on Fifth Avenue at 64th Street. Gallery hours are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Admission is free. For more information on the Arsenal Gallery, please call 212-360-8163.

Obama urges Americans to work together
- %27My fellow Americans%2C we are made for this moment%27
- Up to 700%2C000 attend ceremonies%2C fewer than half 2009%27s 2 million
- Today%27s oath follows yesterday%27s official swearing-in
WASHINGTON — Facing a divided political system, economic troubles at home and continued unrest overseas, President Obama urged Americans to work together to "face the realities of our time."
"This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An economic recovery has begun. America's possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it — so long as we seize it together."
Obama's 18-minute inaugural speech touched on the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., education, gay rights, climate change, jobs and the swelling federal budget deficit, but it acknowledged polarizing politics that have divided much of the nation and thwarted problem-solving.
"Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in exactly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness. Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time — but it does require us to act in our time,'' Obama said.
FULL TEXT:President Obama's inaugural address
"For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act, knowing that our work will be imperfect."
After watching the Inaugural Parade as night fell, Obama addressed cheering crowds at the Commander in Chief Ball and spoke by video to troops in southern Afghanistan. He then introduced his "date," Michelle Obama, who danced with her husband in a ruby chiffon and velvet gown while Jennifer Hudson sang Let's Stay Together.
Earlier, Obama declared in tweets that "our work begins today" and vowed to "finish what we started" before arriving at the Capitol.
Obama adviser David Axelrod told CBS' This Morning that the speech was designed to focus on "values and principles, not so much about programs and prescriptions."
There was a minor blip when Obama was sworn in by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. In 2009, Roberts flubbed Obama's official swearing-in — prompting Roberts and Obama to repeat the presidential oath in a private ceremony to ensure there were no constitutional issues
On the steps of the Capitol, Roberts got it right Monday, but Obama appeared to stumble over the word "states" as he repeated back the words "the office of president of the United States."
Obama had officially been sworn in for a second term Sunday, in accordance with the Constitution, which requires presidential terms to begin Jan. 20.
Thousands began gathering in the dark, chilly predawn hours to see Monday's event, with up to 700,000 expected to flood into the city for his address, parade and other festivities.
They filled street corners and stood in long snaking lines all around the Capitol and surrounding neighborhoods. Blocks from where Obama would be inaugurated, people shuffled down streets, snapping photos before sunrise. Many wore long coats, hats, scarfs, earmuffs and sequined Obama hats.
Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter were in attendance, but former president George H. W. Bush, released Monday from a Houston hospital and recuperating from bronchitis, did not attend. Neither did his son, former president George W. Bush.
The Obamas attended a service at 8:45 a.m. at St. John's Church. It included prayers from pastors Joel Hunter and Luis Leon, followed by a blessing by Bishop Vacti McKenzie. "Bless this administration with both favor and grace," McKenzie said. "Give them the resources and people necessary to get the job done."
First daughter Malia was in a playful mood as the family returned to the White House. As the president's limo pulled up, Malia sneaked up to surprise her dad, shouting "Boo!" as he got out. "You scared me!" he told her.
Around town, police and military authorities were part of a ubiquitous security presence, stretching from downtown to Metro train platforms in suburban Virginia and Maryland.
Coast Guard patrol boats were the only vessels plying the Potomac River. A large stretch of the river, from the Francis Scott Key Bridge to south of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, was closed to commercial and recreational users as part of an elaborate inaugural security plan.
Federal and local law enforcement officials reported no arrests throughout the morning. Crowd numbers continued to run well behind the record numbers at the inauguration in 2009.
D.C. Metropolitan Police, FBI and Secret Service officials said security operations had encountered no serious problems through Monday afternoon.
"Things have run pretty smoothly so far,'' Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said.
U.S. Capitol Police spokesman Shennell Antrobus said there had been some "medical emergencies'' but did not elaborate.
Transit officials said four stations were temporarily closed Monday afternoon because of crowding, causing major delays for people leaving the inauguration. At the L'Enfant Plaza station south of the National Mall, hundreds waited outside in massive bottlenecks as police temporarily barred entry. The line to get into the Judiciary Square station stretched a block, then wrapped around a corner.
FULL COVERAGE:The presidential inauguration
Dionne Davis, 36, of Columbus, Ohio, woke at 4 a.m. determined to get as close as she could to the festivities without an official ticket. She watched the last inauguration at home, but decided this time she had to be here.
VIDEO:Live coverage of inaugural events
Davis traveled from a family member's home in Capitol Heights, Md., parked at the Metro and took a long train ride into the city. "I just want to be part of history," Davis said. "I want this to be something I can tell my kids and grandkids."
Briskly walking down 3rd Street at 6:30 a.m., Davis said she was happy to brush shoulders with other people. She's ready for a long day and has supplies to prove it.
"We ate before we left, I took my vitamins, and I got my bottle of water," she said. "I'm just excited. These are experiences that last forever."
"What the inauguration reminds us of is the role we have as fellow citizens in promoting a common good even as we carry out our individual responsibilities," Obama told supporters during a reception Sunday. "The sense that there's something larger than ourselves that gives shape and meaning to our lives."
Obama begins his second term four years after inheriting an economic crisis and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The first Obama administration saw a national health care plan, a major stimulus bill, new financial regulations and an end to combat operations in Iraq, the winding down of the war in Afghanistan and the Navy SEAL raid that killed 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden in 2011.
Obama tangled with congressional Republicans who protested a record-setting rise of the federal debt, a slow-growing economy and a stubbornly high unemployment rate. Republicans still control the U.S. House.
As the president started a new term, throngs of well-wishers were in town.
Before 7 a.m., the Metro station closest to the Capitol building looked and sounded like a baseball stadium. Crowds flocked from trains and up the escalators, where they were greeted by vendors selling pins and posters while volunteers carrying "ask me" signs offered directions and greetings.
Vendors set up folding tables for several blocks along Pennsylvania Avenue behind the Capitol, selling trinkets ranging from Obama pins and T-shirts to knit caps embroidered "Obama: Back 2 Back."
"Good morning, welcome to the inauguration!" a pair of volunteers sang out to the crowd.
DuWanna Thomas, a lawyer and consultant from Atlanta, was on an Orange Line Metro train headed to inauguration festivities by 6:15 a.m. She came to Obama's inauguration four years ago.
"This is very rewarding for me," said Thomas, armed with an Obama blanket and a small backpack with food. "It's just excellent. He's the best president."
Pam Johnson of Floyd, Iowa, was also on a Metro train by 6:15. She voted for President Obama twice and managed to snag a ticket to his second inauguration. "This is an experience of a lifetime for me to be right here, right now," said Johnson, president of the National Corn Growers Association. "When I found out the opportunity to go, I didn't want to miss it."
Thomas Kannam, 8, came with his mom, dad and older sister. It's Kannam's first inauguration. "I want to see the president," Thomas said, holding tightly to a blanket wrapped around his shoulders for warmth.
The New York African American Chamber of Commerce sent two buses with 56 people on each, according to Raquel Sanchez, 41, of New York. They arrived at around 5:45 a.m. Some were unable to put partisan politics aside.
"I hate the divide in the House and in Congress," said Stephanie Simmons, 59. Obama has struggled because Republicans won't work with him, Simmons said, which she said may be "a black-white thing" beyond regular partisan differences.

Gracious Outdoor Dining and Entertaining
Bring the party outdoors for fresh entertaining
When the sun is shining, entertaining outdoors is a breeze. A pitcher of lemonade, a bit of shade, and a nicely set table is all it takes to make dining alfresco a treat to be savored.
French doors from this California home's living room lead to the terrace and backyard, where several seating areas are tucked among shrubs and grasses. The natural setting around the home is dotted with fig, lemon, apple, orange, and nectarine trees.
Log Cabin Porch
A cozy log cabin in the Appalachian foothills affords scenic views from the screened front porch. French doors open up the formal dining room to the breezy porch, a favorite spot for casual dinners on cool summer nights. Wicker furniture and bare wooden beams enhance this rustic retreat.
Backyard Fireplace
A freestanding fireplace in the backyard adds drama against a wall of shrubbery. A diamond-patterned patio with grass in between the pavers complements the mantel's elegance. A glazed garden stool stands in as a side table.
Secluded Gazebo
Iron lattice forms a gazebo planted with wisteria and jasmine to create a romantic outdoor dining area protected from the sun and wind. The pebbled terrace adds interest to the floor, while the chairs and lattice lend texture to the space. An iron chandelier lights the table from above.
Spacious Outdoor Kitchen
Colorful canvas chairs and an effortlessly draped table built for a crowd create the perfect setting for a casual dinner or fireside chat. Appliances and counter space designed to withstand the elements make food preparation easy.
Sunny & Sustainable Patio
Elegant and eco-friendly, this patio set is made from recyclable aluminum and weather-resistant fabrics, which are easy to clean and do not emit toxins. Hanging from a pergola overhead, a decorative lantern with bells forms a charming wind chime.
Durable Black & White Deck
Even in decidedly damp Portland, Oregon, entertaining in the open air can be stylish and thoroughly enjoyable. On this second-story deck, elegant black-and-white stripes stand out against a natural backdrop of pine, birch, coastal redwood, and Italian cypress trees. The classic grid pattern on the chairs flows well with the striped Sunbrella fabric and the floor's diamond design.
Moroccan-Inspired Entertaining
Dining outdoors can be as easy as tossing together a few pillows and a decorative table. Tucked between tall hedges, durable outdoor fabrics in electric hues capture the imagination. The table settings are just as colorful as the seating, so guests can fully embrace the Moroccan style.
Sunny Enclosed Porch
Honey-colored wooden paneling warms this Honolulu haven. Abundant windows invite the Hawaiian sunshine and trade winds indoors, where indigenous materials fuse together an amalgam of Eastern and Western design elements. A lauhala mat of plaited pandanus leaves skims over cool concrete flooring.
Waterfront Blue & White Porch
An island home in Chesapeake Bay is an ideal location for a classic dinner party, particularly one hosted in a blue-and-white screened porch overlooking the Magothy River. A navy glass lantern anchors the circular space, and white wicker furniture adds to the preppy vibe.
Vibrant Lanterns
Reflected in the overmantel mirror, rose red and cherry pink Chinese lanterns decorate this inviting alfresco dining room.
Charming Southern Patio
This Atlanta patio reads casual Southern comfort underneath boughs of white blooms. Natural wooden furniture speaks to the surrounding garden, while classic stone tiling lends modern elegance.
Contemporary & Colorful Courtyard
Sunlight filters through a pergola covering a lush courtyard, complete with outdoor barbecue, water fountain, and dining area. The outdoor haven helps to maximize the space of this Los Angeles home. Colorful seat cushions and pillows complement the red brick and vibrant greenery.
Sophisticated Patio Dining
Natural stone and cream fabrics are enriched by glossy black details on this sophisticated patio. Delicate lines on the table and chairs are reflected in the home's windows and balcony railing.
Inviting Southwestern Terrace
Traditional Southwest décor meets contemporary design and bold colors to create this wonderful outdoor dining area in Santa Fe. Terra cotta and apricot tones warm the patio's palette, while a stone fireplace heats up the sitting area. Vibrant dining chairs and seat cushions introduce hues from the lush landscape surrounding the patio.
Colorful & Classy Terrace
Girly Venetian chandeliers hang above a long dining table decked out in mouth-watering pinks and peaches. The Seattle-area rooftop terrace houses perennial, rose, and herb gardens, ten different types of fruit trees, and several varieties of wisteria and honeysuckle.
"We entertain out here from April to October," says homeowner and entertaining guru Heather Christothoulou. "Often the party will extend into the evening, so we added an outdoor fireplace for chillier weather."
For more summer-inspired outdoor spaces, take a look at our presentation of Pretty Porches and Terraces.

Create a Smashing Powder Room
Fun, easy decorating project: Powder rooms are places where you can use high style for big impact in a small space.
This sassy powder room in the 2018 Hampton Designer Showhouse by Jackie Young for Baltimore Design Group was inspired by the super-chic Beverly Hills Hotel, with its iconic striped ceilings and banana leaf-motif wallpaper. "Interpreting summer in the Hamptons, the delicate blush pink suggests the sky at dawn and a chilled glass of rosé from a local vineyard," Young says.
The wallcovering, by Voutsa, is by artist George Venson. The ceiling design also was hand-painted on-site.
"I used a mix of materials—Carrara marble, an abalone shell chevron mosaic floor, and a shiny lacquer vanity, but I also wanted to add more natural earth tones," Young says. "The rope ottomans and the custom-designed wallpaper printed on grass cloth help create an earthy texture."
The feminine color palette consisting of light pinks and peach creates a backdrop that flatters most skin tones. "I wanted everyone to feel and look their best while in the powder room," Young says. "The 'Be-you-tiful' lipstick-scrawled message on the mirror screams that attitude.
"In any small space, the design challenge is to make it functional and interesting with plenty of eye candy," Young adds. "Bubblegum-pink lips and the lipstick message accomplish that—paired with the contrasting candy striping on the ceiling and walls with amber tones reminiscent of sand."
She envisions the space, designed for big impact in a small footprint, as a delightful suprise for guests. "I wanted them to have fun," she says, "feel glamorous, snap a selfie, be beautiful."
Designer Jennifer Jones created a feminine powder room for the 2013 O'More College of Design Showhouse in Franklin, Tennessee. Above the limestone wainscoting, Jennifer installed a floral wall covering that peeks through the fretwork of a handmade Italian mirror. The powder room's neutral color palette works with the rooms around it while maintaining its own elegant charm.
Powder Room with Large Pattern Wallpaper
The powder room designed by Frank Ponterio is nothing if not breathtaking. A large-scale landscape wallpaper from De Gournay makes a bold statement. The custom tile floor with a compelling silver starburst pattern was designed by Frank.

A Designers Guild floral wall covering in 1960s colors lends large scale to this small space. "Powder rooms should be alive with color and sass to make up for their tiny dimensions," says designer Judy Howard. Modern metal sconces with crystal balls sprouting out of each end flank a Century mirror that reflects the statement flower pattern. A Sherle Wagner pedestal sink formed from sand-colored marble lightens the space.

Ultra-Feminine Powder Room
Café curtains, frilly valences, and a pretty purple-and-green palette give this powder room some feminine flair. A vintage porcelain sink keeps things classic; beadboard walls and ceiling lend texture.
