We live in the mecca of college basketball. Any doubt of that has been erased over the last two years as both the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville have claimed Division I NCAA titles and both teams look poised to compete for the same crown next year. On top of that, the Indiana Hoosiers have returned to making this region second to none for college hoops.

Summer Blogging Blues
I also welcome summer. I do not have to teach. Committee responsibilities are few. However, I am finding this is a hard time to blog.
Why? I have set aside summer to work on research projects. Further, my wife and kids expect me to spend vacation time on them. (And they deserve it!)
I have found that blogging is harder in the summer than during the academic year. I find this kind of ironic.
This post is an introduction to why the World History Blog has been unproductive the last few weeks. I will be back. I like blogging. I just can not give this priority right now in my life. I have the summer blogging blues. Please keep me on your blog rolls and your RSS feeds. I will be back to posting daily soon even if soon means September.
2 comments:
As one who seems to work even on vacations, I still know the importance of time away. It will not only give you and your family time together, but when you do "come back" to blog, teach, etc. you will be new and refreshed. Often I am told my best sermons are the weeks after a break .... so why do they not give their pastor more breaks. Do not feel bad, for we enjoy your blog and want you refreshed!
That is wonderful blog.. I love the ancient history very much. My blog about the history of the pharaohs and the most famous pharaohs http://famouspharaohs.blogspot.com

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
President Shimon Peres visited a child care clinic in Jerusalem where he praised the Health Ministry efforts to prevent a new outbreak of polio and urged all Israelis to get their kids inoculated, revealing that his own family had to battle the debilitating virus during a previous outbreak.
"One of my children was a victim of polio at the age of 8 months," Peres recalled. "My wife Sonya and I were at his bedside as he was feverish and shivering in pain for three days and three nights. We were helpless. For the next year and a half later my son was paralyzed in the lower body."
Fortunately for the Peres family, their son made a near full recovery following months of rehabilitation. Not everyone is so lucky. "I do not wish this experience on anyone," the president continued. "I call on all parents in Israel - prevent your children from suffering - it's within your power!"
Some parents in Israel are concerned the vaccination could have ill effect on their little ones, and have been putting off or out right avoiding the new treatment.
To them, Peres said: "The doctors in Israel are among the best in the world, and parents can trust them 100 percent. In Israel the infant mortality rate is among the lowest in the world - and there is no other explanation except that we have the best doctors."
Israel launched the new polio vaccination campaign after strains of the virus were found in sewage pipes in the south of the country. Later tests revealed that it had spread to the north, and that at least dozens of people were carrying the virus.
In the first three days of the campaign, 128,000 Israeli children were inoculated. The plan calls for one million children to receive a significantly weakened polio strain, and for the vaccine to spread from those children to the rest of the population.

Houston, we have lift off!
All week long for World Space Week, we will be posting exclusive excerpts from Chris Impey and Holly Henry's new book, Dreams of Other Worlds: The Amazing Story of Unmanned Space Exploration. Each day will include an excerpt from a different chapter(s) about a different unmanned spacecraft, along with a picture of the craft that doubles as an iPhone background!
Today we have two excerpts. The first is from Chapter 6, and our excerpt talks about how Stardust was able to keep up with the intense speed of the Wild 2 comet to photograph it. The second excerpt is from Chapter 7, which describes "space weather", which SOHO is able to track to warn us of any changes in our solar system.
Tomorrow will bring another chapter and another adventure, so stay tuned!
The neatest trick Stardust had up its sleeve was gathering material from the comet tail. […] All of the solid objects in the universe were built from microscopic dust particles—stardust. The probe was designed to capture material too small to see in its eight-minute ride through the comet's tail and then its long ride home.
SOHO cannot prevent these natural disasters, but it can give two or three days' notice of Earth-directed disturbances. And as we become more accurate in anticipating space storms, operators can place satellites in protective modes, shut down or limit power grids, redirect commercial flights, warn oceanic cruise and cargo ships, and place astronauts working on the International Space Station in the safest possible location on the station. Such steps will not only save lives but also protect the information systems that sustain our electronically fragile and networked global community.
Think you know all about these missions? Take our quiz and find out!

The Grand Bois "Promenade" handlebars are a classic, swept-back design for an upright riding position. Similar handlebars were used on the city and porteur bikes of many French constructeurs. Below is a custom Grand Bois equipped with these handlebars.
The "Promenade" handlebars provide an alternative to the "Elysees" model (below), which provides a sportier riding position.
Both handlebars are available in the "road bike" diameter, so they fit bar-end shifters and "road" brake levers, but not mountain bike levers.
All Grand Bois handlebars are made by Nitto in Japan, and they all pass the EN "Racing Bike" standard, which is the toughest test of fatigue resistance. Click here for more information about Grand Bois handlebars, including the popular drop bar models.
The Nitto stem bolt is intended for Grand Bois stems, but now it is available separately as well. The bolt is intended for builders who make their own custom stems, but have a hard time finding stem bolts. We know builders who have bought old stems just to get the bolts! That isn't necessary any longer. More information is here.

The International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene is the leading scientific authority on home hygiene.
It is a not for profit, non commercial, Registered Charity (UK Charities Commission Reg No. CH 600 3131998) which was established in 1997 with the mission to promote health and wellbeing through improved hygiene (infection prevention and control) in home and everyday life settings.
The IFH is unique in that it addresses hygiene from the viewpoint of the home and, more importantly, the family or household. It is dedicated to understanding the interrelated actions that family members undertake in their everyday lives to protect themselves from infectious disease:
- food and water hygiene,
- handwashing,
- respiratory hygiene,
- laundering clothing and household linens,
- Safe disposal of human and other waste.
- Care of domestic animals.
- As healthcare outside of hospitals increases, increasingly our remit extends to healthcare of family members who are infected or at greater risk of infection.
We believe that, if we are to achieve long term change in public attitudes and behaviour, an integrated, family-centred approach to infectious disease and hygiene, as adopted by IFH, is needed. Currently many aspects of family hygiene are dealt with by seperate agencies.
The Primary Objectives of IFH are to:
- Raise awareness of the role of home and community hygiene in preventing infectious disease
- Advocate for increased emphasis on hygiene promotion.
- Promote understanding of hygiene (infection control) practice in the home
- Ensure that home hygiene practices are based on the available scientific evidence
- Make hygiene and infectious disease information readily available.
- Promote and review research, develop guidelines and drive consensus on issues relating to home hygiene.
- Bring together key stakeholders from the global community to promote interaction and knowledge transfer.
The information we make available assists public health scientists, government and NGO's, opinion formers, health professionals (particularly infection control), public society and the health professional and consumer media. The IFH is also actively engaged in advocating for home hygiene among national and international policy makers.
The IFH work is global, covering both developed and developing countries and embracing all socio-economic groups and living conditions. The IFH does not communicate directly with the public – our aim is to give effective support to those who do. In 2013 IFH produced an "activity review" which gives a more detailed overview of who we are, what we do, and what we have achieved.
What is Home Hygiene
Home Hygiene refers to the range of activities which the family's need to undertake to protect themselves from infectious disease. It includes food and water hygiene, handwashing, safe disposal of human and other waste. It also includes infection prevention and control in home healthcare (caring for family members who are infected, or at greater risk of infection).
One of the key actions which IFH has undertaken has been the development of a risk management approach to home hygiene. This has come to be known as "targeted hygiene" The risk-based or targeted approach has been used by IFH as the basis for making evidence-based decisions about home hygiene and hygiene procedures.
For more information try our 'What is Home Hygiene?' page.
IFH Scientific and Communications Activities
IFH works through a range of activities and projects including Scientific Advisory Board meetings, production of scientific and other materials, conferences, satellite symposia, workshops, exhibition stands, news sheets, e-mail alerts and one-to-one meetings.
Through its work, IFH has developed a comprehensive range of materials in different formats to enable communication with, and give support to, the different segments of our target audience. These range from detailed scientific reviews of the evidence base related to home and community hygiene, to guidelines and training materials, to plain language "facts about" and hygiene advice sheets.
This website is our main communications tool. It is a resource designed for public health scientists, opinion formers, policy makers, NGOs, IGOs, community health practitioners, health professionals and "Public society".
We aim to deliver a comprehensive range of materials, both from IFH and other sources, which can be downloaded for free and used by our visitors. Our website helps us achieve one of our key aims, to facilitate global sharing of information and materials which support the promotion of good hygiene practices.
Our website receives thousands of page views monthly and we send out a minimum of two newssheets a year to our "home hygiene community" registered site users. Join them here.
The activities of the IFH are developed and co-ordinated by the Scientific Advisory Board, the Trustees Board and the IFH Secretariat. The Scientific Advisory Board is composed of hygiene experts drawn from Europe, the USA and South Asia.
IFH Activity Review
We are pleased to present our 2013 Activity Review. View the Activity Review for 2013 here.
Our review is a summary of what we have achieved since 1997, with particular focus on current and ongoing activities.
First Meeting at Royal Society of Medicine, London, UK.
March 1997 a group of international hygiene experts met at the Royal Society of Medicine in London, UK. A number of hygiene issues related to health in the home were identified and reviewed, including changing trends in domestically-acquired foodborne infections, the increasing significance of new pathogens and antibiotic resistant bacteria in the community, the increasing numbers of people more susceptible to infectious disease and the consequences of changing trends in healthcare, which result in more people being cared for or nursed in the home environment.
IFH Was Born as a Non-Profit NGO
The meeting resulted in a consensus view that there is a pressing need to raise awareness of the role of domestic hygiene in the prevention of infections acquired in the home. A need to better understand hygiene in the home and to develop hygiene policy for the home was acknowleged. Further meetings to further explore these issues, led to the forming of a non-profit non-governmental organisation, The International Scientific Forum on Home Hygiene (IFH).
IFH Organised International Conference
In 2002 IFH organised international conferences, in London entitled "Preventing infectious intestinal disease in the domestic setting"
IFH Organised International Conference
In 2002 IFH organised a second conference in New Delhi, India entitled "Home hygiene and the prevention of infectious disease in developing countries: a responsibility for all". The two conferences focused on the topic of infectious intestinal disease in developed and developing countries, exploring each of the "core aspects" of home hygiene. The proceedings of both conferences were published in the "Journal of Infection" and in the "International Journal of Environmental Health Research"
IFH Continue Advocacy and Promoting Awareness

IFH Partnerships
IFH does not have any formal partnerships with other organisations, but over the years has developed working partnership with a number of organisations to develop projects and activities of mutual interest. This includes:
Danish Hygiene Council
The Danish Hygiene Council (Rådet for Bedre Hygiejne) was founded in 2008. Its key aims and objectives are to raise awareness of the importance of hygiene in Denmark, and promote good hygiene practices. The council addresses hygiene issues in all sectors from food to healthcare to hygiene in the home.
IFH had the opportunity to present the IFH approach to home hygiene at the annual meeting of the Danish Hygiene Council in 2010. For more details contact Lars Münter: (firstname.lastname@example.com)
e-Bug - Schools Education Project
The e-bug project was launched in 2006, and is funded by the EU Commission and Public Health England. The aim of the project is to ensure that all children leave school with an understanding of hygiene and the issue of antibiotic resistance.
The team has prepared teaching resources and interactive websites which are now translated in 27 European languages. IFH had input to the initial development of the teaching resources and continues to promote the project worldwide, wherever opportunities arise. For more details contact Donna Lesky: (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Infection Prevention Society
The stated mission of the UK Infection Prevention Society is "to inform promote and sustain expert infection prevention policy and practice in the pursuit of patient or service user and staff safety wherever care is delivered".
Where opportunities have arisen, IFH has given support to the activities of the Society, through conference presentations and posters. In 2003, IFH formed a working party with the Community Infection Control Network to develop the home hygiene Training Resource "Home Hygiene – prevention of Infection in the home – a training resource for carers and their trainers" which is available in hard copy from IPS and is also downloadable from the IFH and IPS websites.
International Federation on Infection Control
The International Federation of Infection Control is an umbrella organisation of societies and associations of healthcare professionals in infection control and related fields worldwide. The goal of IFIC is to minimise the risk of infection within the healthcare setting world-wide through development of a network of infection control organisations for communication, consensus building, education and sharing expertise.
In 2010 IFIC in partnership with IFH established a Special Interest Group on Infection Prevention and Control in home and everyday life settings (http://www.theific.org/sigs6.asp). The aim of this group is to provide IFIC members worldwide with a resource through which they can obtain information and exchange knowledge and views on infection prevention and control in home and everyday life setting. For more details contact the IFH Secretariat: (email@example.com)
London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine
The Hygiene Centre is a research group at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine which is working develop a better understanding of hygiene and sanitation practices which can be used to inform public health policy. Hygiene is a core domain of work at the Hygiene Centre and the Centre has a long-standing interest in promoting hand washing with soap, most particularly in low income communities in developing countries.
Developing the most effective behaviour change techniques is central to all of the programmes promoted by the Hygiene Centre. LSHTM partnered with IFH for our 2 international conferences on "Preventing infectious intestinal disease in the domestic setting" in 2000 in London and "Home hygiene and the prevention of infectious disease in developing countries: a responsibility for all" in 2002 in New Delhi. The conferences focused on infectious intestinal disease in developed and developing countries respectively, exploring each of the "core aspects" of home hygiene including water, sanitation and handwashing. For more details contact Eileen Chappell: (firstname.lastname@example.com)
National Resource on Infection Control
The UK National Resource for Infection Control (NRIC) is a digital library bringing together the best available on-line evidence-based resources on infection control and prevention. Its aim is to be a single-access point to existing resources within infection control for both Infection Control and all other healthcare staff.
NRIC has partnered with IFH to ensure that resources on infection prevention and control in home settings are promoted to health professionals through both websites. For more details contact Patty Kostkova: (email@example.com)
Royal Society for Public Health

Motoring organisations—or as they are often known, 'The Clubs'—are organisations to which the vehicle's driver will belong. They may have made a conscious effort to do this, or they may have got the membership with their new vehicle, through a company scheme, or purchased with an insurance policy known as breakdown cover.
In the event that a member of the public does not have a "club" membership, the police or Motorway Agency can arrange recovery of the vehicle at what is called an "Owner's Request" and they will arrange for help to attend with a recovery truck.
Recovery operators in Donegal are the people who undertake the recovery and in most cases are mechanics too with a 24 hour car garage and recovery 24/7. They are known by different names around the world, including 'breakdown mechanic,' 'tow men' and 'recovery drivers'. Some are the people used by the motoring organisations to rescue their members. A small percentage will be on the payroll of the motoring organisation and will work exclusively for them. Examples are the companies used by the AA, RAC and Mondial in the England. Most 24 hour recovery service operators in Donegal, however, work for privately owned companies or are individuals. They can do large volumes of work for some of the motoring organisations, but they will normally also do work for the public. In other parts, the percentage of this 'private' work is low due to the high profiles of the motoring organisations. Of course some will never do work for the motoring organisations, preferring to work just for their own customers. In parts of Europe and America, motoring organisations are still growing because of the huge growth in cars and huge demand for 24 hour towing service . Their motorways (highways) are huge and stretch over vast areas of land without stops thus 24 hour towing services plus accident and recovery is required.
Although there have always been auto repair shops and garages who towed or recovered any vehicles, it is only really in the last fifty years that vehicle recovery has become an industry distinct from the auto repair trade. Many are still involved in workshop repairs, but an increasing number, if they cannot repair the vehicle by the roadside, will transport it to another repairer. Although there are some large organisations operating hundreds of recovery vehicles, most are family businesses operating typically between 1 to 5 vehicles. Lastly there are operators like Highway Authorities and other government bodies, operators of local recovery schemes (contra flows, etc.) and large fleet operators who recover their own vehicles.

Glimpsed at the Baltimore Fashion Alliance holiday party: Amanda Uduka
The holidays are a perfect fit for Amanda Uduka, 24, who describes her usual style as "flashy, glittery and girly." For the Baltimore Fashion Alliance Holiday Party at the Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Hotel, the Ellicott City resident wore a seafoam sequined Charlotte Russe bustier with a black organza tutu-style skirt from H&M, which she topped with a champagne silk shantung Stella McCartnery jacket with peplum that she got at Neiman Marcus, where she works as a sales associate. If there were a pair of fabulous pumps made for the holidays, they had to be the B by Brian Atwood shimmery cream pumps that had undertones of green and red - also from Neiman Marcus, which is also where she got her David Yurman ring. She picked up her crystal, gold and silver bangles and Valentino watch at T.J. Maxx, her crystal beaded hoop earrings at Claire's and her black leather bag at the Kenneth Cole store. Needless to say, working at Neiman's is both a blessing and a curse for this fashionista. "My closet has been boosted, and my bank account has been depleted," she says. "I like to say I'm closet-rich."

A Q&A with CMU CIO Steve Huth
Carnegie Mellon University's Vice Provost for Computing Services and Chief Information Officer Steve Huth is possibly in the "best place on earth" (in our estimation) to get to know the challenges and opportunities of leading IT at an institution that has programs on foreign soil and campuses all around the world. His career path took him for five years to Doha, Qatar where he transitioned from work in cybersecurity to become chief information officer at CMU's campus in Education City — returning to the states in 2012 to serve as the CIO leading central IT at CMU's main campus in Pittsburgh. Besides having experience on both sides of the global campus equation, he now leads the central IT organization as it relates to some 20 international programs and distant campuses representing students, faculty, and researchers from nearly 115 different countries. Major campus locations include Doha in Qatar, Adelaide in Australia, Kigali in Rwanda, and CMU West in California. CT asked Huth for a CIO's perspective on global programs and branch campuses.
Mary Grush: What is it like to work as a CIO at a distant, international branch campus? What was one of your most striking observations when you first started working at CMU's Qatar campus?
Steve Huth: It's extraordinarily different living globalization than it is when you're just reading about it. Living in Qatar, I got to experience not only the culture of the Middle East and getting to know the people there, but also what it was like working as a member of the Qatar campus and collaborating with the staff back here on our home campus. I spent a fair amount of time interacting with the central computing group in Pittsburgh and I came to realize that, no matter how good the technology is, there is really nothing like sitting down with people and talking. So even though it was a long, 24-hour trip, I would periodically come back to the states just to work with my colleagues here and keep up those personal connections. I also found it striking, since the workweek in Doha was Sunday to Thursday, how many things were tied to "East Coast time" and that a planned outage at 3:00 a.m. on Sunday in Pittsburgh was right in the middle of classes in Doha. We had to reconsider a lot of work processes to make them more suitable for a global university.
Grush: When an institution opens up a distant branch campus or program, how does it generally relate to the main campus? How does this affect the IT organizations?
Huth: It's important to recognize that there is no one answer. Every institution has a different model — or maybe even several different models — of how central IT relates to global campuses or programs. At CMU, we are for the most part strongly decentralized. So in some locations a school or departmental IT group may take the lead, with us providing support; while in other locations the exact opposite may be true.
There are several things that are important to Carnegie Mellon when we look at the idea of a global campus — but the most important things almost never revolve around or are directly stated in terms of technology. There has to be a strong match between the needs and interests of the region and the strengths of Carnegie Mellon. Things like what the curriculum is, who the faculty are, admissions requirements, academic freedom, and core university policies — all the things that make us a university — form the core of the discussions.
As for IT, the interactions vary. Some of CMU's international programs handle the IT infrastructure very successfully on their own; while others — our largest foreign campus in Doha for example — actually have a very strong relationship to central IT. Doha staff regularly travel to Pittsburgh and vice versa to work on projects of joint interest, and different groups interact daily via VTC.
Grush: Could you give me examples of technology strategy related to globalization?
Huth: Sure. A common IT strategy is to take advantage of what central IT does well and allow departmental IT to focus on the specific needs of their school. We try to do the same globally but IT in these locations needs to be a blend of central and departmental IT — sometimes ensuring a consistent campus experience and other times meeting the needs of a particular faculty member who is looking at a new way of teaching. In Doha, for example, central IT did the core networking design, with Doha staff being responsible for the day-to-day operations. Central IT staff go back periodically to collaborate with them on network changes as the environment evolves. This gives Doha staff a trusted group of colleagues they can bounce ideas off of without having to do new designs from scratch. It also gives them a bit more flexibility to work with faculty on education and research activities that are important to their campus.
Another strategy is a consistent faculty and student experience across locations. So, for example, the Pittsburgh campus and the Doha campus run different instances of the same LMS so that faculty can easily move their courses between the two campuses as needed. But one of the things we've learned is that it's never as simple as all that: There are point releases that may have incompatibilities for faculty working between the two campuses, causing features like quizzes to be slightly out of synch. We must understand that and manage it between campuses — which takes some thought, as there are different considerations involved in upgrading in one location versus another.
Grush: So the Doha examples seem to speak to a high degree of involvement for central IT. Are there other campuses or programs that function more independently?
Huth: Yes. There are many programs that rely much less on the resources of central IT here in Pittsburgh. They generally do leverage the enterprise systems and in some cases the LMS. We work with them as colleagues, but we don't have that same exchange of staff or design work as we do in places like Doha.
So, it's really all over the map (sorry for that), from just very loosely connected to very tightly coupled.
Grush: Is central IT hoping to promote or at least support technologies that can help provide enhanced learning opportunities?
Huth: Some of our global programs are quite focused, for example, on computer science or business. But many times the person you'd like to hear from is located somewhere else in the world. We use technology to bring the best of Carnegie Mellon to these global programs so that the students can have much richer academic interactions within their discipline and, by virtue of CMU's strong cross-discipline orientation, with faculty and students in other disciplines. Not all of the technologies are as robust as we'd like, though, and so a fair amount of staff time goes into testing and real-time problem resolution.
Grush: In the context of central IT's offerings to these globalized programs, is there one objective you'd like to highlight that can be supported with technology?
Huth: If I had to pick just one objective from an IT point of view, I would say using technology to support pedagogy by making communication and sharing ideas easier. This is of course both a people and a technology issue. We have found that making high-quality, real-time video widely available can be tremendously beneficial. VTC can be used directly in courses to draw upon CMU's world-class faculty. Making use of cloud solutions to facilitate collaboration also takes advantage of the environment that students have grown up with.
Grush: How much of that is done online, or with streaming video, or with collaboration technology?
Huth: Our technology tends to be in support of bringing people together rather than offering a totally online experience. Of course, there are also great examples of completely virtualized courses. The Open Learning Initiative (http://oli.cmu.edu) has worked with faculty to produce some excellent online-only courses. With global programs, however, time zone differences can't be discounted. That's one reason that in addition to real-time, two-way VTC we've also used lecture capture — paired with student cohorts that can work with local TAs.
Along with that technology we've redesigned several locations to offer more of a collaborative space, allowing better interaction among students as well as between students and faculty. These spaces also have an improved ability to bring in people from the outside — whether that's down the street or around the world.
Grush: Does central IT meet with other groups at CMU who work on some of these pedagogical issues?
Huth: Yes, in particular, we rely on the expertise of the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Educational Innovation (http://www.cmu.edu/teaching/) here at CMU. That's our go-to organization for discussing whether something makes sense pedagogically.
Grush: And given all the work being done between central IT at CMU and the globalized programs and campuses, is anyone studying that?
Huth: What a wonderful question! One of the reasons you work at a university is to consider interesting questions like that. We have a new president at CMU, Dr. Subra Suresh. One of his initial programs is the Simon Initiative (http://www.cmu.edu/teaching/simon/index.html) — named for Nobel Laureate and educator, Dr. Herbert A. Simon. Dr. Suresh has said, "The world is experiencing an educational revolution, but there has not been sufficient effort to date to address the fundamental question: Are students using these technology platforms really learning successfully?" The idea behind the Simon Initiative is to make data collected about technology-enhanced learning widely available, so that learning researchers/learning scientists, faculty, designers, software engineers, human-computer interaction specialists, and others can do serious research on this topic and apply the results to improve education. Also part of this initiative is the creation of the Global Learning Council to promote best practices gathered from around the world and develop metrics to demonstrate the impact technology is having. I would hope our experiences could add at least some small part to that larger discussion.

Cindy Crawford, Christie Brinkley, and Carolyn Murphy share their tips for looking gorgeous—and feeling great—after 30.
"My trainer, Sarah Hagaman, comes to my house three times a week. It's an old-fashioned workout. I do lunges and dead lifts on the Power Plate; it gives a little extra core strengthening. On the weekends, if I can get a hike or a walk in, I feel good about that."
—Cindy Crawford, 46
"I love physical sunblocks with zinc. When I used to surf, I'd sometimes tuck a bottle of sunscreen into my wet suit sleeve—when you're in the water having a great time, you're not thinking about running out to put on more sunblock. I'm not surfing much anymore, but I love hiking and gardening, and I'm always wearing a hat and sunblock."
—Carolyn Murphy, 38
"Before taking the kids to school, I might put on a serum with vitamin C, which gives me a glow. After I work out, I put on a moisturizer with sunscreen, like Meaningful Beauty Antioxidant Day Crème SPF 20 UVA/UVB. If I'm really going to be in the sun, I'll wear an SPF 100 sunscreen, too, plus a hat and something that covers my chest. A couple of times a week, I'll use a glycolic pad before bed, and every night I put on a night cream."
"When I turned 50, I was like, 'Cut me some slack. From here on out, if I feel like eating it, I'm eating it.' Of course, now that I'm 50-something, I realize that I just feel better if I eat right. I do it for me."
—Christie Brinkley, 58
"I met Dr. [Jean-Louis] Sebagh [my partner in Meaningful Beauty] when I was 28. He taught me to pick a weight and stay there. It's not good for your skin to stretch, contract, stretch, contract. I try not to have empty calories, though I do have chocolate every day. That's worth it to me."
"People expect too much from a cream. Like, if I lose weight, you see it in my face first, because you lose volume. And volume doesn't come in a jar. And then there's deep wrinkles, and even though some creams promise to treat them, I haven't found one that works. What you can treat is texture and fine lines. I learned to separate those things in my mind."
"I try to get some exercise every day, and I usually average four or five times a week. I love yoga classes, but if I don't have time for them, I just roll the mat down in my bedroom and go through some sun salutations to sort of warm up for the day. I'll also squeeze some exercise into normal activities: I'll do squats while drying my hair or leg-lifts as I brush my teeth."
"Everyone loves to talk about plastic surgery and all that stuff, but hair is the most underestimated thing—if you have good color and shiny hair, you can see that across a room. In Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck [Knopf], she writes about women being nostalgic for their young bodies. That's how I feel about hair. Now, I look at my daughter's, and I'm like, 'You have my old hair! I want it back!'"
"When I drink coffee, it's decaf. As I've gotten older, I don't take sleep for granted and I don't want anything to mess up my clock. My average is six and a half hours of sleep, but I would love to get eight."
"The best anti-aging advice I've ever received? Drink a lot of water and have a plant-based diet. I also do mindful meditation with my daughter every day. It takes ten minutes. I think reducing stress plays a big part in anti-aging."
"There are great things that come with being older: You feel more comfortable in your own skin. When I drop my kids off at school, I can go barefaced. It's like, what do I need to hide?"

SEATTLE -- Lloyd McClendon is bringing an entirely new coaching staff to Seattle, although a number of his additions have ties to the Mariners organization.
McClendon announced his coaching staff on Monday, with only two of his hires coming from outside of the club. Instead, McClendon is promoting a number of coaches from the minors and still holding out the possibility that one coach may return from the previous staff under Eric Wedge but in a different role.
"Obviously, there is some advantage to having some guys from within the organization," McClendon said. "If you have the opportunity to promote from within, No. 1 it's healthy for the organization, and No. 2 if those guys are qualified individuals it becomes an A-plus. ... All those guys fit that bill."
Howard Johnson, the former New York Mets third baseman, will take over as Seattle's hitting coach after serving in that role for the organization at Triple-A Tacoma last season. He'll replace Dave Hansen who was with the club for only one season but may return as Johnson's assistant.
Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said Hansen has an offer to return as the club's assistant hitting coach if he does not find another major league job.
Rick Waits will move from minor league pitching coordinator to Seattle's pitching coach, while John Stearns will be the third-base coach and Chris Woodward will be the infield coach. Stearns finished the 2013 season as Tacoma's manager after Daren Brown was added to the major league staff, while Woodward was a roving minor-league infield coordinator.
McClendon said he was impressed by Waits and his view of how a pitching staff should be handled.
"He really blew me away from the interview process," McClendon said. "(He) represented everything I wanted in a pitching coach."
McClendon is bringing in Andy Van Slyke (first-base coach) and Mike Rojas (bullpen coach) from outside the organization. Van Slyke has been out of coaching since 2009 when he left the staff in Detroit, where he worked with McClendon. He reached out to McClendon to express his interest in returning to coaching in Seattle.
"He was excited for the opportunity to coach with me again," McClendon said. "Andy Is probably the most impressive practice coach I have ever been around."
McClendon previously announced that Trent Jewett will serve as his bench coach. The team said that bullpen catcher Jason Phillips and Scott Budner (left-handed batting practice pitcher) would return, and Zduriencik said if Brown does not find another major league job he has already signed a contract for a minor league position in the Mariners organization.
