A Huge Step Forward for People with Mental Illness
Historic agreement reached to transition Illinois residents unnecessarily housed in large, impersonal nursing homes
Last week was a good week for people with mental illness in Illinois. On Thursday, a federal judge granted preliminary approval for an historic agreement between the State of Illinois and thousands of people with psychiatric disabilities represented by a number of advocacy groups, including Access Living, and a private law firm - led, in this case, by the ACLU of Illinois - that will give thousands of people with mental illness an opportunity, if they choose, to move out of large, private nursing homes and into community-based settings.
This agreement marks a sea change in Illinois state policy - which for far too long has relied on troubled, sometimes dangerous nursing homes to serve people with mental illness.

Seeking Independence
Thousands of people with disabilities are currently living in nursing homes despite the fact that almost all, if not all, of them could live independently in their communities. An overwhelming majority of people with disabilities who live in nursing homes would rather receive assistance and support in their own homes but, by default, many of these people are not given a choice and are forced to live in large institutions.

Mains Powered Audio USA Socket Lead; with room listening live monitoring
This fully functional GSM USA Socket Lead operates as you would expect from a normal electrical power supply however, the meticulous electronics allow you to dial the SIM card (supplied) hidden inside the socket lead to silently listen into the surrounding environment up to 25 feet away from where the lead is plugged in. The connection is automatic giving absolutely no indication that you are monitoring the audio surroundings.
The socket lead is completely inconspicuous and can be visually examined without revealing its hidden capabilities for complete peace of mind.
Simply plug the lead into any USA mains wall socket and use it just as you would as an everyday electrical device. As the unit is powered from the mains power supply, it is ready to perform 24/7 without the need of any additional batteries or a recharge, thus providing extremely long term audio monitoring surveillance.

As a result, any conversation that remotely mentions the 23-year-old star tends to push observers into two camps.
There are the defending supporters, who accuse Brown's critics of being self-righteous and coldly disbelieving in an individual's power to change.
And then there are the affronted, who see his defenders as dismissive of Brown's influence and unwilling to hold the singer accountable for his actions -- not to mention turning a blind eye to the gravity of domestic violence.
The media aren't above taking sides. Marlow Stern of The Daily Beast offered a "preponderance of evidence" that Brown is "one of the most infuriatingly awful people in show business." Gawker posited that "it's not hard to choose between those two versions" in the Ocean/Brown fracas, because in one corner you have "a violent, angry, abusive a**hole," and in the other, a singer who "has never been accused of assault and isn't known for hitting people."
Influential supporters like Justin Bieber -- who recently told Billboard magazine that he's pulling for the R&B/hip-hop singer on Grammy night -- chime in, reminding consumers that it's about a product, not a personality. "I'm a fan," Bieber said of Brown. "His music is really good. That's what they should focus on: the music."
It might be tough to remember, but Brown caught our attention in 2005 with the promise of becoming pop's next prince, earning the distinction at the time of being the first male artist in over a decade to land a No. 1 on the Billboard 100 with a debut single. He was top 40 radio-ready and appearing in Doublemint gum commercials, singing alongside an "American Idol" winner and charmingly chatting about wanting to be the next Michael Jackson.
Along the way, he's developed a strong fan base -- sometimes referred to as Team Breezy -- that's been consistent in his corner even as we've watched that careful artist package come apart at the seams. One thing that's held his ship upright in waves of backlash, said Yahoo! Music senior editor Billy Johnson Jr., has been his music.
"It does help when you have really good products in the marketplace, because I think at the end of the day that will supersede everything," Johnson said. "You're trying to repair a damaged image, one way to shift the focus is to put out good music."
Whether you personally find Brown's music to be "good" or not is a matter of taste, but it is clear that he's being accepted by both the industry and the music-buying public. The same month he allegedly broke the window of his "Good Morning America" dressing room after storming off the set, he notched his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with 2011's "F.A.M.E."
That same record also earned Brown a best R&B album Grammy the following February, and his 2012 album, "Fortune," was another No. 1 and is nominated in the best urban contemporary category at the 2013 ceremony.

April 30, 2013 — When I graduated from the ninth grade at Washington Junior High School in Fresno way back in June 1965, they put together a yearbook of sorts in which they asked every student what they wanted to be when they grew up. I cheerfully responded I wanted to be a novelist, and I was the only person in the whole school who expressed any literary ambition, but my writer dreams got put on hold.
You see, five months earlier I'd gotten my first guitar as a Christmas present — an $89.95 sunburst, two-pickup, solid body, mail order beauty made by Harmony from the Sears and Roebuck Catalog, a very playable knockoff of the much more expensive Fender Jazzmaster. (The vintage pickups from that guitar are highly collectable these days.) After watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, the music bug bit me hard, just like it had millions and millions of other teenage, wannabe, moptop guitarslingers all around the world. The first incarnation of my first band, the Ravens, had five ninth-grade guitar players. That's right, just five guitarists. No bass. No drums. We were terrible.
April 30, 2013 — Time marches relentlessly forward, and we are quickly losing what's left of America's Greatest Generation. We all should pause and take the time to recognize each of our friends and neighbors born in the years after World War I who suffered through the Great Depression only to find themselves involved in a World War after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
That attack marked our country's entry into World War II, and in less than four years the United States and its allies totally defeated the fascist regimes in Europe and the island imperialists in the Pacific.
April 23, 2013 — A year before my mother turned 50 she decided she was going to run a marathon. She had never been a runner, but she said if Oprah could run a marathon, so could she. So she bought several books and a new pair of running shoes and began running every day. I listened to her laugh about how slow she was, how she could barely finish her distances without stopping to walk, how runners in their 80s passed her on the trail, but she kept at it and, like anyone who keeps practicing anything, she got better.
I'll never forget the summer night in her living room when she found out she had been invited to run the New York City Marathon with the American Cancer Society. We screamed and danced in circles around the couch. A few months later, I had the incredible and unforgettable experience of cheering on my mother as she crossed the finish line in New York City. It was the first of many magical racing experiences for both of us.
April 23, 2013 — I know my opinion on this topic will probably stick hard in the craw of many gun owners here in Lassen County, but I don't care — I'm wading out into these swirling, controversial waters anyway.
Last week, a bill that would have expanded background checks for firearms purchases failed in the U.S. Senate by a 54-46 vote, with supporters falling just six votes short of the required 60-vote threshold. More on that later.
I know it's hard to talk with National Rifle Association supporters about the topic of gun control. For the most part, I've found them hard and fast in their response and their beliefs, and they won't budge a bit from their constitutional right stance. And, believe it or not, I completely understand the slippery slope basis of many of their arguments.

Fire burns apartments in McKinney
Courtesy of First Response Photography - Firefighters clean up the scene after a fire Sunday evening at the Bent Creek apartments in McKinney. Fire, smoke or water damaged about 16 units, but no one was injured.
By Chris Beattie, firstname.lastname@example.com
A two-alarm structure fire burned several apartment units but injured no one Sunday evening in McKinney.
Shortly before 7:30 p.m., McKinney fire personnel responded to a fire at the Bent Creek apartment complex off Wilson Creek Boulevard just south of Virginia Street. The call came in as a "fire in the dryer," said Stacie Durham, MFD spokeswoman.
"Usually, that results from not cleaning the lint filter," she said, adding that MFD is still investigating the fire's cause. "It becomes highly flammable."
Emergency personnel are still investigating the exact cause of the fire.
No smoke alarms were beeping when firefighters arrived on scene, and they soon discovered that many units had disconnected or battery-less smoke alarms, she said.
"The risk of dying is twice as high in a home without working smoke alarms," she said. "We are fortunate that this fire occurred at a time of day when most residents were awake. Everyone evacuated safely. Had the fire occurred just a few hours later, when most residents were sleeping, the outcome could likely have been deadly."
A witness said that police abruptly arrested a man at the scene, but that the arrest may have been unrelated to the fire. Neither Durham nor Deputy Police Chief Joe Ellenburg knew anything about an arrest.

[LESS INFO] 3 VIEWS | ADDED 04:00:00 07/11/12 There are things we can't do, even with all the power of the United States. But then we shouldn't hide from it. We shouldn't turn away and pretend that something else is happening.

[LESS INFO] 35 VIEWS | ADDED 15:54:00 06/26/12 Countries the world over are suffering from a deficit of democracy, says Carne Ross, and it's not enough just to protest and/or tinker with the existing system. Radical change is needed. We, the people, must take on the burden of governing ourselves.

[LESS INFO] 57 VIEWS | ADDED 14:41:00 06/26/12 It's essential to understand that genocide is a process, not an event, says Tibi Galis from the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation. It doesn't just happen out of the blue. So there are chances to step in and change the course of this process.
[LESS INFO] 52 VIEWS | ADDED 20:05:00 06/22/12 The International Criminal Court turns 10 in July after a tumultuous first decade. With only a handful of rulings handed down, critics say the ICC is not efficient and beholden to Western ideals. Is it possible for international justice to be fair and effective?
[LESS INFO] 41 VIEWS | ADDED 19:35:00 06/15/12 An influential Russian engineer recently called for an international ban on cyber weapons, saying that they could have unforeseen consequences, but many American analysts disagree.

Does the influx of corporate cash make elections less fair or more free?
[LESS INFO] 21 VIEWS | ADDED 18:14:00 06/08/12 What's a G-zero world? It's when no one takes a global leadership role, when no one is willing to, and no one is capable of doing it--and that's the world we're living in now, according to political scientist Ian Bremmer. So what does this mean for both now and the future?
[LESS INFO] 3 VIEWS | ADDED 04:00:00 06/06/12 When we talk about international affairs, you can be as 'Realpolitik' as you want, but you're talking about people, you're not talking about assets. You're talking about living, feeling, breathing beings.

Mallory Brown of Rockingham has been promoted to a full-time reporting position with the Richmond County Daily Journal.
Brown first joined the Daily Journal in November 2011 as newsroom clerk and part-time staff writer, and began her new full-time writing job on Aug. 20.
"I was excited to learn about my promotion to full-time reporter," she said. "This allows me to have a voice I haven't had before, and I look forward to sharing the stories of others."
Brown's reporting beats include Hamlet City Council, Dobbins Heights and Hoffman, Richmond County Schools and education, health, law enforcement, tourism and economic development, charity and fundraisers, Historical Society, senior citizens and the library system.
Although born and raised in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Brown spent most of her summers in Rockingham with family.
She attended Myrtle Beach High School, then attended the Academy for the Arts, Science and Technology, where she majored in Entertainment Technology. She graduated in 2007 and went on to the College of Charleston, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in English, with a minor in Creative Writing.
Brown said her first job as news clerk helped her grow into her job as a staff writer.
"Having been here a year, I've learned so much," said Brown. "I've done things I've never imagined doing and I'm proud of how I've handled the challenges so far."
Brown said she looks forward to covering her beats, of which she especially enjoys education, law enforcement and charities.
"I enjoy writing about fundraisers and charity events and helping people spread the word about causes they represent," she said. "I like being a medium for positive impact in the community. Networking has been fun."
In her free time, Brown enjoys horseback riding and antiquing.

Guest Post: The Trick To Suppressing Revolution: Keeping Debt/Tax Serfdom Bearable
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 21:49Parasites must balance their drive to maximize what they extract from their host with the risk of losing everything by killing their host. This is the dilemma of the parasitic partnership of the central state and financial Elites everywhere: to extract the maximum possible in debt payments and taxes without sparking rebellion and revolution. The 30 million whose labor funds the parasitic status quo don't have to rebel; they simply have to stop going to work, stop starting enterprises, stop being productive. They just have to tire of being the host, tire of being debt-serfs, tire of being tax donkeys. The trick to suppressing revolution is to keep debt-tax serfdom bearable. The parasitic Elites are keeping the host going, but at a high cost in resiliency. Let's see how long the host lasts once a crisis hits.

Austrian "Good" Banks Balk At Bad-Bank Bailout
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 21:18Since 2009, when Hypo Alpe Adria was 'nationalized', the Austrian government has dumped more than EUR2 billion into the troubled bank. It remains on life-support but this time the government-proposed 'aid' being offered is running into a wall. The rest of Austria's banks (as creditors as well as forced levy-payers from other bailouts) dismiss the government's plan for a "bad-bank" model a la Ireland adding that they "will not allow themselves to be put under pressure by politicians." Reuters notes that the 'bad-bank' plan is up against a deadline at the end of May from the European Commission, and among others Unicredit Austria is clear on its role, "decidedly rule out a commitment on our part." The increasing tension between Vienna and Brussels is evident as a quick sale of the bank will lead to a EUR5-6 billion loss for taxpayers (hurting the government's budget plans) but it seems the rest of Austria's banks are unwilling to throw more good money after bad, "if we go this way, some persuasion will be needed". Is it time for more non-templates?

10 Perspectives Into The Slow, Agonizing Death Of The American Worker
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 20:38The middle class American worker is in danger of becoming an endangered species. The politicians are not telling you the truth, and the mainstream media is certainly not telling you the truth, but the reality is that there is nothing but bad news on the horizon for workers in the United States. The American people inherited the greatest economic machine in the history of the world, and we have wrecked it. Decades of very foolish decisions have resulted in the period of steady economic decline that we are experiencing now. Today, American workers are living in an economy that is rapidly declining, and their jobs are steadily being stolen by robots, computers and foreign workers that live in countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages. Politicians from both political parties refuse to do anything to stop the bleeding because they think that the status quo is working just great. So don't expect things to get better any time soon. The following are 10 charts that demonstrate the slow, agonizing death of the American worker...

Peter Thiel Gets the Bitcoin Bug
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 19:57We recently described in detail what a venture capitalist might see in Bitcoin and it appears that some of that message got through... Interesting news out today in the Bitcoin world. As you may recall, last week I highlighted how the highly respected venture capital firm Union Square Ventures (Fred Wilson, early investor in Twitter) invested in Coinbase. Today we learn that another very high profile investor has plunged into the Bitcoin pool. In this case it's Peter Thiel, and his investment is in BTC merchant processor Bitpay, a company I have highlighted previously on several occasions. Incredibly, the tremendous growth rate continues as they added another 1,900 merchants in April and are currently signing up around 100 additional merchants a day.

Mystery Sponsor Of Weapons And Money To Syrian Mercenary "Rebels" Revealed
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 19:12Previously, when looking at the real underlying national interests responsible for the deteriorating situation in Syria, which eventually may and/or will devolve into all out war with hundreds of thousands killed, we made it very clear that it was always and only about the gas, or gas pipelines to be exact, and specifically those involving the tiny but uber-wealthy state of Qatar. Needless to say, the official spin on events has no mention of this ulterior motive, and the popular, propaganda machine, especially from those powers supporting the Syrian "rebels" which include Israel, the US and the Arabian states tries to generate public and democratic support by portraying Assad as a brutal, chemical weapons-using dictator, in line with the tried and true script used once already in Iraq.On the other hand, there is Russia (and to a lesser extent China: for China's strategic interests in mid-east pipelines, read here), which has been portrayed as the main supporter of the "evil" Assad regime, and thus eager to preserve the status quo without a military intervention. Such attempts may be for naught especially with the earlier noted arrival of US marines in Israel, and the imminent arrival of the Russian Pacific fleet in Cyprus (which is a stone throw away from Syria) which may catalyze a military outcome sooner than we had expected. However, one question that has so far remained unanswered, and a very sensitive one now that the US is on the verge of voting to arm the Syrian rebels, is who was arming said group of Al-Qaeda supported militants up until now. Now, finally, courtesy of the FT we have the (less than surprising) answer, which goes back to our original thesis, and proves that, as so often happens in the middle east, it is once again all about the natural resources.

Guest Post: The Empire's Next Effort To Extract Your Wealth
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 18:35Since before the tech bust, we've been suggesting that while Americans "think" they're getting richer... they're actually heading in the other direction. They're getting poorer. This proposition has been easier for folks to entertain since housing busted and the financial crisis reversed the "wealth effect" in 2008. With that in mind, let's take a look at the logic of the American Empire and what you can expect in the year(s) ahead.

Biderman Busts The 'Sustainable' Deficit Reduction Meme
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 17:29While Tepper and his breathless team-mates celebrate a 'sustainable' euphoria-inducing drop in the deficit that heralds the new America, TrimTabs CEO Charles Biderman upsets the bull's apple-cart by explaining the three one-off items that created this smaller deficit and implicitly show its unsustainability. In his usual fact-based exclamations, he reminds us "do not confuse higher tax payments for liftoff." The bullish twist, he notes reported in the popular press, is "deficit reduction must mean we are having an economic liftoff," and has become an overnight "feel-good phenomenon for those long stocks and needing news to justify their positions." Sustainable? "If only it were true...", as he enthralls, "this is a tale of three one-off items masking a slow-growth economy." Here are the facts...

This Is What Happens When You Ask Too Many (Or The Wrong) Questions
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 16:37With the lies, cheating, and conspiracies running wild in the US, we thought it worth dusting off the archive and remembering Michael Burry. Burry, infamous for his 'Big Short' into the subprime crash that made him and his clients extremely wealthy, reflected on his ability to see this coming in an Op-ed at the time asking a broad swath of politicians, economists, and professional 'seers' why they didn't see 'It' coming? As he explains, soon after asking that uncomfortable question, things escalated rapidly for him and his firm... simply unbelievable in the context of the ongoing investigations currently... As he explains, "I bet against America, and won," and it seems 'America' didn't like that...

Tepper Topped
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 16:11It seems the words of Plosser and Williams are more powerful than the rumors of Hilsenrath for now. While the jury is still out for whether the 'Tepper Top' is in, today's equity sell-off (admittedly a mere 0.5%) appears to have stunned a few people back into the reality that stocks actually fall. Trannies were worst performers but broadly speaking this was the worst drop in 2 weeks (only 2nd down day in May) and it appears equity markets are beginning to play catch-down to the reality other risk asset classes have been warning about for a week or two. Homebuilders were the worst performers (as the data this morning was just horrible - US and Europe) and while Tech held us up for a little while, APPL's retest of its 50DMA saw sellers come back (and GOOG also lost ground from the open). Away from stocks, Treasuries closed -6bps (their best day in 5 weeks); credit continued to widen (weaken); VIX shifted higher still; shorts actually 'won' on the day (most-shorted -1% vs RUT -0.5%); and despite an early dip, the USD ended the day up another 0.25% (with AUD weakness the most obvious pain for carry traders).

Fed Unleashes Another Taper Hint... Or Not
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 15:11Last week it was Fed's WSJ lapdog hinting at a tapering. Now it is up to the Fed's own John Williams to provide an even stronger hint at what may be coming as soon as this summer. From Bloomberg:
However, promptly following this is the following headline which we can only hope has a typo in it:
- WILLIAMS: UNEMPLOYMENT WON'T FALL BELOW 6.5% UNTIL MID-2105 (er, sic?)
And just to confuse everyone, as the Fed enjoys doing, here is the conclusion:
Bottom line: nothing will change.

Santelli On The Reality Of The Rotten Heart Of Europe
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/16/2013 - 14:58This morning we were treated, once again, to confirmation that Europe is still in the middle of a deepening crisis. No, this was not a reflection of the terrible data, it was Mr. Hollande's insistence that "the crisis is behind us." Luckily we have a foil for this idiocy. Bernard Connolly, author of 'The Rotten Heart of Europe' explains to CNBC's Rick Santelli, "the point is that the union has produced this disaster; and the people who put the disaster in place hail it as a success. are they crazy? If they are, that's pretty disturbing! If they're not crazy, then the question of why they have done it is more disturbing." In a few brief minutes, uninterrupted by an anchor desperate for silver linings, Connolly explains to Santelli when asked of the future, that nothing will change in the short-term, "the potential ways of getting out of the mess are simply unthinkable," to both beggar and chooser, adding that "you have a cycle of deflation, depression, default, more banking crisis, more sovereign debt crisis, and social and political crisis." Simply put, Connolly concludes on social unrest, "I don't see any way of avoiding it."

Vincenzo de Cotiis /
Milan-based architect Vincenzo de Cotiis describes his design aesthetic as 'perfect imperfection' - a style which is clearly communicated in this desk design for his 'Progetto Domestico' collection. A series of perfectly polished brass volumes overlap and intersect to create an irregularly shaped writing desk with various storage compartments. As much a work of art as it is a piece of furniture, the striking composition incorporates salvaged materials and sits on a base made from recycled wood.
Christophe Pillet / Ceccotti
Italian cabinetmakers Ceccotti Collezioni can always be relied on to produce exquisitely crafted wood furniture. Its standout piece this year was this perfectly proportioned desk by french designer Christophe Pillet. its frame is made of American walnut, the inconspicuous central drawer of maple, and its angular structure is softened with rounded edges and a leather writing surface.
Maurizio Manzoni & Roberto Tapinassi / Arketipo
With a sculptural base inspired by the Greenwich meridian, Manzoni and Tapinassi's dining table for Arketipo is a strong and commanding design. An off-centre bronze or titanium ring that loops around the sweeping wood base provides stability while referencing the crossing lines of longitude and latitude. The frame is available in a variety of noble hardwoods including walnut, ash or ramin.
Angela Adams / Angela Adams
A minimal, solid wood design based on geometrics, the Origami table offers function and beauty for generations. Handcrafted in Maine, it is available in cherry, walnut or white stain.
'FK04 Calvert' coffee table / e15
German architect and designer Ferdinand Kramer conceived this table as part of his 'Knock-Down' furniture series while in America in 1951. Revived by German brand e15, the easily invertible and collapsible coffee table is cut from a single plywood sheet, and is available in oak or walnut veneer, as well as coloured lacquer.
Stéphane Parmentier / Ormond Editions
We've kept an eye on Stéphane Parmentier and his new-industrial aesthetic ever since he made his furniture debut at Maison & Objet two years ago. Working once again with Geneva's Ormond Editions, the Frenchman has created a new collection, including this elegant console in perforated wood and soft leather, that is brimming with aviation references.
David Chipperfield / Marsotto Edizioni
An ode to the most convivial of furniture pieces, Marsotto Edizioni's latest collection, 'Big Tables', comprises five statuesque tables in the brand's signature Carrara marble, designed by the likes of Naoto Fukusawa and David Chipperfield. The latter's modular offering is particularly poetic, its shape highlighting the material's classical roots.
Gordon Guillaumier / Tacchini
From 745 each
In the sea of tables and chairs we've seen this year, the purity of Gordon Guillaumier's coffee tables easily stood out. The Milan-based designer's choice of simple shapes is made all the more playful by his pairing of a wafer-thin marble surface with three or four classic wooden legs. Available in polished Biancone marble or matt black travertine, these versatile tables can be arranged and used in numerous combinations, while always embodying the contemporary aesthetic Tacchini is known for.
Doshi Levien / BD Barcelona
The dynamic duo that is Doshi Levien has most recently turned its hand towards creating a sumptuous dressing table for BD Barcelona. Inspired by the bindis donned by many Indian women, the vanity unit is a bold amalgam of shapes centred around a large rimmed mirror. Perched on tubular steel legs, the De Stijl-influenced composition also comprises a rose-tinted side mirror offering generous peripheral views, and a wooden jewellery box that opens to reveal bright blue drawers. A little swivel stool completes the design.
Bruno Serrão / Wewood
Conceived as a compact work station, this desk embodies what we demand most from a work environment: a world of creative possibilities. Hidden under its smooth surface are eight drawers and compartments of various sizes for storing each and every work-related accoutrement. Designed by Bruno Serrão and skillfully produced from solid French oak by young Portuguese joinery company Wewood - without the use of any screws or nails - this is one hard worker.
Pool / Pool
price on request
One of the more impressive exhibits at this year's Salone del Mobile was Nouvelle Vague which Milan's Centre Culturel Français held as a tribute to the new talents in French design. Among the pieces that caught our eye was this table by Pool, a Paris-based studio headed by Léa Padovani & Sébastien Kieffer. Made from a mix of digitally cut walnut and cork, its low squat profile is accented by a gently tapering beveled base. The result almost looks as if a giant pencil had been stabbed into the ground, a dark-humoured moment that pairs well with one of Pool's other designs, a fiberglass chair moulded into the shape of a human skull.
Nika Zupanc / Nika Zupanc
price on request
We first spotted this chair and table at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during the recent Salone del Mobile in Milan. Amidst the frenzy of the week's exhibitions and shows, Nika Zupanc's pared back designs were a calming balm. We were particularly taken by the sinuous curves of the desk chair whose slender legs balanced on brass wheels. This charming nostalgic touch is replicated in the desk, a modern yet extraordinarily rationale interpretation of the traditional roll top desk. What appears at first glance to be a standard flat top table unlatches and lifts to reveal pleated concertina folds that act as shelving. Drop the lid and all your paperwork is hidden away. The proverbial messy desk just became a thing of the past.
Ferruccio Laviani / Emmemobili
The very talented Ferruccio Laviani makes tables that make you want to just pull up a chair and sit around them all day. His remarkable 2011 collection for Emmemobili is a tour de force in simple lines that also manage to impress with their visual lightness. The 'Jazz' table, in particular, is a beauty from every angle. Solid strips of oak are gently bent around a circular frame to create an airy striated effect while providing plenty of leg room under the table. The table top is finished in either oak veneer or white marble. Elegant, perfect symmetry and practical -- a handsome addition, we think, to any living space.
Kari Virtanen / Nikari
Finland's Kari Virtanen first created this table for an architect friend, who was after an outdoor table with a detachable top, before Nikara snapped up the design and put it into production. With no screws or metal parts, the ash, birch and black alder configuration is held together by a series of neat bolts and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It bears characteristic Scandinavian simplicity and has a smooth surface that is extremely soft to the touch.
/ e15 and Arctic Paper
Here's one for the forgetful among you... e15's new Munken Cube - produced in collaboration with Swedish natural paper manufacturer, Arctic Paper - comes in the form of a giant notepad. Comprising 2200 sheets of Munken Pure Rough paper, stacked on a solid oak base, the cube twists and flexes as you move it, thanks to the one-sided gluing of the pages. A small metal pin in the centre of the oak plinth holds the stack of paper neatly flush with its base.
Markus Schmidt / Zeitraum
Manufactured by hardwood specialists Zeitraum, the 'Secret' desk is so called because of its discreet storage capacity: lift-up panels at the back provide a secure hideaway for a laptop, cables and a pencil or two. Made from sturdy solid oak, cherry or walnut, the design is pleasingly academic.
Angelo Mangiarotti / Agape Casa
Bathroom specialist Agape made its first move into furniture in Milan, launching Agape Casa, a collection of reissues and never previously produced designs by Angelo Mangiarotti. The 11 different ranges include 'Incas', first produced in 1978. The original table was in sandstone, with pyramid-shaped legs supporting the heavy square surface. Retaining all the elegance of the original, Agape Casa has updated it in solid oak. The result is in tune with contemporary lifestyles without compromising the table's powerful shape .
Jens Praet and Vibeke Skar /
Price to be confirmed
These elegant side tables are the result of a new collaboration between Belgian designer Jens Praet and Oslo-born Vibeke Skar. Made of white Corian, the only decoration comes from the water-carved grooves around the edges, meant to reference the melting ice caps.
Mia Hamborg /
As many well brought up children will recognise, Mia Hamborg's 'Stable bord' was inspired by Brio, that bastion of Swedish toy manufacturing. Hamborg, spotting that noone ever really grows out of their childish desire to stack beautifully finished objects, created a side table along the same lines. The turned birch, modular pieces come in a range of shapes and colours, each with a hole in the middle so you can stack them on the central column as you like. The table is going into production with Unique Copenhagen and will be available later this year.
Dieter Rams / Vitsoe
£175 low, £195 high
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Vitsoe is releasing the last 50 of Dieter Rams' 621 side tables from the original production. Originally commissioned in 1962 and not produced since the early 1980s, the versatile little table (it can be used upright or on its side) was part of Rams and Vitsoe's investigation into new plastics. It is made out of foam-injection-molded polystyrol, which we'd now refer to as high-impact polystyrene. Very hard but surprisingly light, the tables are being sold in their original packaging, another reason why they'll fly off the 606 shelving at Vitsoe when they go on sale in September.
Matali Crasset / Established & Sons
True to its name Matali Crasset's Open Room is like a whole room without walls. With more than a touch of Mondrian about it, the design is part workspace, part colourful cubist sculpture and a beautiful if unusual option for the home office.
Bertjan Pot / Arco
Bertjan Pot's beautifully pared down 'Slim' office is made from oak veneer on steel, which not only makes for a deceptively robust surface, but means the entire range is magnetic too - handy for keeping all your paperclips together and off the floor.
Cecilie Manz / Fritz Hansen
£2827 excluding VAT
Danish designer Cecilie Manz's new dining table for Fritz Hansen is a sparse but robust creation and as such, the perfect piece of furniture for everyday use. Made of just three parts of solid wood – a slab for the surface and two square loops for the undercarriage - you can choose from oak, ash or walnut for the top with the addition of white or black lacquer for the legs. Manz wanted to create a piece of furniture that would fit in someone's home forever, hence the simplicity. And as anyone with a good eye will spot, the small details such as the bevelled edges on the legs and the subtle floating support of the tabletop are what brings it to life.
Claesson Koivisto Rune / Swedese
Price awaiting confirmation
Swedish stalwarts CKR's take on the hostess trolley is a rather attractive option to wheel into your living room. Unmistakably Scandinavian, the graphic silhouette and pristine white won't really be bettered with too much cluttering and the odd tea spillage so, despite its name, we're using it as an occasional table instead.
Jarl Fernaeus /
Beckmans graduate Jarl Fernaeus was a finalist of the Prix Emile Hermes with this brilliant table, light and stool ensemble, made from ash and Corian. Though seemingly just a clean and pure set of furniture, the table is actually a very clever gadget too. Built into the underneath are a series of sockets, meaning chargers for any and every gadget you might own are seamlessly concealed in the design, with just the end that you attach to your phone, camera or iPod on show. One cable emerges from the table leg to power up everything else.
Armani/Casa /
The Camus desk by Armani/Casa is a particularly seductive, luxurious piece of furniture for getting down to business. The whole desk is clad in lizard skin and unfolds to reveal a hand-finished rosewood interior.
Konstantin Grcic / BD Barcelona
Price awaiting confirmation
Providing a welcome antidote to the recent fashion for large wooden rustic dining tables, this new design by Konstantin Grcic is elegantly sleek while still being thoroughly robust enough to cope with even the bawdiest of banquets. The tabletop, which consists of a vast aluminium extrusion (up to 3.5m) comes with three optional substructures in wood, steel or artificial stone.
EXH design /
EXH design is a Shanghai-based design and architecture firm set up in 2006 by Xi Zhang and Swiss-born Erich Diserens. With an eye for a clean line and a foot in tradition, the furniture they design combines contemporary appeal with antique charm. This oak table, charmingly named 'A la recherche du temps perdu' after Proust's seminal tome, was inspired by a Ming original, with horizontal beams that transport the weight of the surface to the elegant legs.
Sebastian Herkner /
German designer Sebastian Herkner had a stint working at Stella McCartney but in 2006 he put down his scissors and opened his own studio focusing instead on industrial design. His Bell Table design stood out for us at this year's Satellite. Alongside the multitude of raw wood, Perspex and white lacquer on display elsewhere, the blown blue glass and brass combination made for a rich, confident design with a distinct antique charm.
Air Division /
From $935
There's certainly nothing sinful about Air Division's vanity stand. The Singaporean company specialises in sustainable wooden furniture and high quality craftsmanship, resurrecting antique references and giving them a contemporary edge. Their 2010 collection for example, unveiled at IMM Cologne, has nods to 17th century Windsor chairs and 19th century cruise liner railings but it's the elegant, spindly vanity stand that has us searching for our favourite things to show off.
Christian Spiess /
Another rising star at ECAL, Spiess showed this trestle table as part of a group show at Salone 2009. It can easily be folded away thanks to its three detachable parts: aluminium legs that support any flat surface; the tabletop of your choice; and a beam that extends up to 1.6 metres.
Leonardo Talarico / Cappellini
€814 excl. VAT
Cappellini showed this simple contemporary update of the traditional nesting table set in Milan, designed by Leonardo Talarico. Available in plain ash or brown, red and blue painted versions, we felt it was best to nest au naturel.
Paolo Cattelan / Cattelan Italia
Cattelan Italia's take on mirrored table is one of the more interesting we've reflected on in some time, marrying a neat geometric shape with a mirrored finish it's a perfect surface for serving a final coffee on whilst checking there's nothing in your teeth before a lingering kiss goodnight.
India Mahdavi /
€1950 set
India Mahdavi's ceramic 'Bishop' stools have become a bit of a signature design for the French multitasker. Increasingly though, she found they were being used as side tables and, not happy with the small surface area, decided to tie two together with the addition of a peanut-shaped, walnut tray. "I called it 'The Peanut' not just because of its unusual shape, but also because peanuts are associated with cocktails, and, just like the nuts, the tray is perfect for serving cocktails," the designer explains.
Andree Putman / Litton Furniture
The Jack in the Box low table with silver brass edging is inspired by one of Putman's favourite jewellery boxes, the refined nature of which bears testament to her core ethos: "ornamentation is a crime - seduction resides in simplicity."
Konstantin Grcic / Muji
from £250
An unexpected but very genius pairing between historic German manufacturers Thonet and Japanese lifestyle retailers Muji resulted in a range of furniture manufactured by Thonet and sold through Muji. James Irvine (Thonet's Creative Director) reinterpreted the bentwood chairs and Konstantin Grcic has taken up Marcel Breuer's tubular steel mantel, creating this austere Bauhaus desk with dark grey MDF top and suspended drawers. Complete the look with a Type 75 anglepoise a charcoal Muji notebook and a sharp HB pencil.
Kaiju Studios / Herman Miller
Rhode Island-based Kaiju studios seek to bring practicality back to the home office with their Airia desk for Herman Miller. Feeling that too many table and desk designs of late have scrimped on function in favour of an elegant aesthetic, the designers wanted to redress the balance by providing options. "The elevated rear surface could be a place to put your printer, or that document you've been meaning to review or your cat could take a nap there," they explain.
Marina Bautier / Atlantico
From £1095
With its simple structure in natural oak or walnut, this lightweight desk is definitely more domestic than corporate and a pleasure to sit at. Practicality is still key though. The white aluminium hood, which hides a laptop and ugly cables when closed, turns into a magnetic noticeboard when raised.
Jean Nouvel / Pallucco
If you haven't managed to get into that Jean Nouvel designed luxury penthouse yet, investing in this stunning dining table designed by the French master himself could score a very close second. A fine example of pure minimalism with it's refined simple shape and material of painted aluminium of the top and painted steel for the bottom. Yet it is the ingenious way this table extends as if from nowhere to fit another one, two, three or even four extra place settings that shows how novel Nouvel really is. Although the piece is also available in opaque black and opaque white, we're all over the luscious Bordeaux red.
Tina Roeder /
Berlin-based designer Tina Roeder takes her lead from the simple drawer and transforms it into a universal assistant. This series of drawer side tables form part of A Personal Living Concept, which Roeder explored in her first solo show, 'Independent Furniture', at last year's International Furniture Fair in Milan. These quirky, disembodied drawers come with legs made in either solid European oak with a matt clear varnish, white matt lacquer opaque that leaves the wood grain visible, or in steel that is white matt coated or chrome-plated.
Richard Lampert / Richard Lampert
German designer Richard Lampert devised this handy design with ease of storage or transportation and flexibility of function in mind. Lampert lists its range of possible uses thus, "it's a table to perch on, if used carefully, a seat or surface whilst fishing, a little helper in the kitchen or simply a table next to an easy chair." As a practical addition to the kitchen it's perfect should you run out of chopping space or need to create an impromptu table extension for an extra guest. The folding, powder-coated steel design is available in a range of eye-catching colours, and later this year will be joined by a folding sofa table and balcony table.
Nendo / Cappellini
Designed to tease, yet still look as appealing and fragile as it's namesake, this table in the form of a single plain, bends this way and that, while each leg folds in a different direction creating, at first glance, a sense of unsteadiness. Of course it's not, for Nendo's Bambi table is made of ultra-thin sheet metal, 1.5mm thick that is laser-cut and folded into a handy 150 x 60 x 73 cm format. Easily dismantled, this flexible friend can be used indoors or out. Bambi's polish lacquered entrance for Cappellini, at this year's Salone Internazionale del Mobile was in blue, but it also comes in white, yellow, grey, red and black.
/ Kubista
Remember all those times you've been round design museums drooling at old vintage pieces and wondering why oh why these beautiful designs ever fell out of production. The people behind the Kubista Gallery in Prague did and decided to do something about it. At the end of 2002 they opened their own gallery in the historic centre of the city that sells not only reproductions of beloved antiques but has also branched out to display pieces by contemporary designers that have been inspired by the decorative art and design for the 20th century. Among several fantastic objects, we fell for this exact replica of a glass side table originally found in a Prague antique shop and dates from around 1930.
D'Urbino-Lomazzi / De Padova
Like a lesson on how the planets revolve around the sun, Donato D'Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi's ingenious side table is made up of two different size circular tops that revolve around a circular axis. Each table-top moves independently, so the main table-top which is 24.8" wide, can be easily rotated close to a seat for eating, working or drinking, while the lower surface creates space for other useful, terrestrial objects. Saturno is made of powder painted steel with a base in HPL stratified laminate, the table tops are MDF with polyurethane paint in black or white, or a combination of both, giving table manners a whole new meaning.
Hanna Ehlers /
Serene in their simplicity, these smart wood and white ceramic combos by graduate designer Hanna Ehlers stole the show at last year's SaloneSatellite. Drawing inspiration from ecology and sustainability these low tables perfectly capture the theme of this year's Salone. Plus Ehler's effortless, modern lines and creative combination of blonde wood and ceramic were indicative of a larger trend of mixing materials to great effect.
Patrick Norguet / Poltrona Frau
There's something so decadent about mixing the finest Poltrona Frau leather with the crème de la crème of marble. Patrick Norguet certainly didn't hold back when it came to choosing the highest possible quality of materials for this piece, preferring instead to show restraint with the design. Should marble however not be to your taste, the top is also available in natural oak, Canaletto walnut or ebony, while the leather upholstery support can of course be made up in any colour you so wish.
Dylan Freeth /
Dylan Freeth is a London-based designer whose quiet, practical designs are inspired by simple observations of daily life. The results are often playful details rather than grand gestures but details intended for smoother function, not simply for decorative effect. His Divider nest tables are a case in point and a contemporary update on a classic piece of design. Taking inspiration from file dividers, the graded tabs on each table means they can be nested and separated with greater ease. The four, sheet aluminium tables are graded in something of a 1970s colour palette, a nice nod to a time when file dividers were commonplace, before the advent of virtual document storage.
Marco Dessi /
Unlike the serial lying cartoon counterpart though, Dessi's wood and metal desk has little to hide. The aluminium tabletop, bent from one sheet and finished in matt grey is an exercise in pushing the metal to its limit, creating an industrial but very light overall design. And what of the name? "The original models, made from cardboard and wood, reminded me of Pinocchio with his paper clothes and wooden legs," explains Dessi. "When I came to making it in aluminium, I couldn't call it anything else."
Julie Pfligersdorffer / Ligne Roset
You don't see new writing desks too often these days, perhaps because letter writing is becoming a thing of the past. But Julie Pfligersdorffer's desk might be enough to inspire a small resurgence of the epistle. 'Poms' is a lightweight design, which comes in either walnut or maple and has a neat side drawer lined in leather. Meanwhile the desk's hood cover and chromed steel base add a contemporary edge so if you can't quite quit the laptop it won't look totally out of place.

Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsSuccessful Grass Skiing Worlds 2011 in Atzmännig With the wonderful backdrop of 25 degrees and sunshine, the Ski Club of Goldingen may look back on successful FIS Grass Skiing World Championships 2011. The final competitions were held on Sunday 4th October, followed by the official closing ceremony where the FIS flag was handed over to the organizers of the next Grass Skiing World Championship in Japan. Beginning on 31st August, the Grass Skiing World Championships were held together with the Junior World Championships. A total of 18 competitions in the events of giant slalom, super-G, slalom and super combined were carried out over five days. Given excellent weather conditions, the athletes, officials and local fans could enjoy a wide range of competitions and social events. The official ceremonies as well as the competitions, race organization and team areas were all centrally located in the heart of Goldingen. Within short walking distances, the area was efficiently used to serve guests, teams and other participants. A party tent located 500 meters from the competition site served the spectators with traditional Swiss music and live shows every night, as well hosting the official banquet on Friday night. 16 nations participated in the Championships, whilst seven of them managed to claim medals. Switzerland could not have had better Championships on home ground, taking a total of 5 medals of which three were gold. The Czech Republic followed in 2nd place, grabbing 7 medals including two gold, four silver and one bronze. Completing the medals table were Italy (5), Austria (6), Slovakia (3), Japan (3) and Germany (1). Ski Club Goldingen was well prepared for the World Championships. The OC president Franz Gübeli was supported by over 100 helpers beside the committee consisting of 30 people. In two years, Japan will have the honor to welcome the Grass Skiing athletes for the Championships, and the President of the 2013 team was present to exchange knowledge and get input from the 2011 organizers.

When I saw the headlines about Sean Hannity getting into a shouting match with a Democratic congressman this week, I assumed the combative and conservative Fox News host had just gone off on him.
I was wrong.
Hannity was trying to conduct what we in journalism call an interview. But from the first words out of his mouth, Rep. Keith Ellison came prepared to pick a fight.
It was good television, I suppose, but it's hard to say it was enlightening.
Ellison began insulting Hannity from the get-go, Hannity pushed back, and the pugilistics were under way.
After I criticized Ellison in an online video, Fox-bashers, Hannity-haters and others started with the nasty tweets.
But it was Ellison, not Hannity, who had started throwing verbal punches. Said one tweet: "Even psychotic liberal Howard Kurtz thinks Keith Ellison was out of line with Sean Hannity." (For the record, I consider myself reasonably sane.)
I've never been shy about criticizing Hannity for mangling the facts or spouting the GOP's talking points. But in this case, he wasn't at fault. This wasn't a situation where both sides were engaged in an argument that grew more heated.
Why would the Minnesota lawmaker launch a premeditated assault? Perhaps it's good politics for a liberal Democrat to force a confrontation with Hannity. He can brag to his base about beating up on one of Fox's most popular pundits. In fact, at least one liberal group is already trying to raise money off the incident -- another example of how unbridled partisanship can be profitable.
Ellison told me: "I stood up to Sean Hannity because of what the sequester will mean for millions of Americans who have already been forced to work harder while they get by with less. If these devastating cuts in the sequester go into effect at the end of this week, three-quarters of a million jobs will be lost. ...
