Press Release – University of Canterbury
On the second anniversary of the February 22 earthquake, National Geographic has today published a story about Christchurch archaeology on the front page of its website, a site which receives 20 million visitors a month, University of Canterbury (UC) …UC CEISMIC helps bring Christchurch archaeology to world attention
February 22, 2013
On the second anniversary of the February 22 earthquake, National Geographic has today published a story about Christchurch archaeology on the front page of its website, a site which receives 20 million visitors a month, University of Canterbury (UC) Associate Professor Paul Millar said today.
The story links to archaeological reports held in UC Quakestudies, a UC research repository and part of the University of Canterbury's CEISMIC Canterbury Earthquake Digital Archive.
These archaeological reports are part of a New Zealand Historic Places Trust (NZHPT) collection that records and remembers the built heritage of Canterbury prior to the earthquakes, and documents subsequent loss and damage.
He said that it had been rewarding for the UC CEISMIC team to work with NZHPT to make the material publicly available.
"The earthquakes led to an unprecedented number of heritage building demolitions, many in the Christchurch CBD, a known area of pre-1900 occupation. Through CEISMIC and Quakestudies we're able to share these stories of Canterbury's historic heritage and NZHPT's earthquake recovery efforts with the world,'' Professor Millar said.
The National Geographic today features items such as a 19thcentury doll's head being unearthed during the demolition of the Zetland Arms Hotel on Cashel Street. Archaeologists were called in to photograph them and document what lay underneath.
What they have found in the last two years—from soda bottles and patent medicine containers to ceramic beer bottles and fragments of clay pipes—is akin to a time capsule from the earliest days of Christchurch, which was settled in the mid-1800s.
"These things have the power to connect us to the people who built our city," said Katharine Watson, director of Underground Overground Archaeology.
Watson's team recovered the doll's head at the site where stables once stood adjacent to the Zetland Arms Hotel on Cashel Street. Built in the early 1860s, and rebuilt between 1901 and 1903 after a fire, the hotel had most recently housed shops and restaurants.

Individuals who come into contact with certain pesticides are at risk for illness, injury, or poisoning. Pesticides can enter the body through the skin, eyes, mouth, or lungs. Exposures over a short period of time, such as during mixing or applying, can result in acute illness or injury. Exposures to small amounts of some types of pesticides over a long period of time can result in chronic poisoning.
While most pesticides are safe if used properly, some pesticides carry a greater human health risk. Acute illness and injury can result in health effects like skin irritation, eye injury, stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, headaches, and respiratory problems. Research has shown that chronic exposures to certain pesticides may lead to an increased risk of neurological effects, reproductive disorders, allergic reactions, and cancer.
People who handle pesticides should follow all instructions on the pesticide label and always wear the personal protective equipment (PPE) as indicated on the label. Individuals who suspect that a pesticide illness, injury, or poisoning has occurred should seek medical advice from a doctor or by calling the Nebraska Regional Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension's Pesticide Safety Education Program has several helpful documents related to pesticide safety and exposure prevention.
Managing the Risks of Pesticide Poisoning (UNL Extension) - Detailed publication outlines the risk of pesticide exposure and understanding the signs and symptoms.
Protective Clothing and Equipment for Pesticide Applicators (UNL Extension) -NebGuide about how to choose and properly use personal protective equipment when handling pesticides.
Managing Bedbugs (UNL Extension) - An interactive publication about how to find, manage, and prevent bedbugs.

How Citi Stumbled in Mexico
Bank Fires 11 Employees Amid Alleged Fraud; Missed Warning Signs?
Citigroup Inc.'s Mexican unit showered loans on a troubled oil-services company as other banks were pulling back, according to people familiar with the matter, setting the stage for a loss of about $400 million that has sparked fraud probes in the U.S. and Mexico.
Citigroup Chief Executive Michael Corbat said in a memo Wednesday that the third-largest U.S. bank by assets had fired 11 employees in its Banamex unit in connection with the loan losses from Mexico's Oceanografía SA de CV that the bank has blamed on fraud....

If you hadn't noticed, one of favorite Lulus models, Olivia, is back after a semester in Spain. Meanwhile, we've been stocking up the cute party and cocktail dresses as usual. Olivia (above) and Wase (pictured below) both picked the Twice Enticed Black Dress as one of their favorite new items. Have you ever seen a neckline like that?!!
Our second pick from Olivia was this fantastic neon orange dress, which is a perfect example of all the cool brights we've been getting in lately. This one in particular is called the Glow with the Flow Neon Orange Dress and it glows even brighter in real life!

An excerpt from Laurence Freeman, OSB, "Dearest Friends," Christian Meditation Newsletter, Vol. 33, No. 3, September 2009, pp. 3, 4, 5, 6.
It is practice not deprivation that drives the spiritual journey and pushes us to grow beyond our limits.
In a noisy and overactive lifestyle, drenched in media buzz and bombarded by visual intrusions, the times of morning and evening meditation purify and recharge our silence.
Attention is the muscle of silence. It is built up strongly through regular and moderate exercise. [. . .
The true nature of silence is that its way of seeing penetrates beyond the apparent surface of the object being attended to. Instead we become one with it. As we stop thinking about it we start to be with it. Silence, as Ramana says in a way very challenging to the modern
mind, is the absence of thought
[But] our contemporary lifestyle and the institutions that monitor us do not set much store by silence. The very nature of silence makes it easy to lose, without even realizing it. The more distracted you become the less you notice that you are not paying attention. The more external stimulus occupies the mind, the less we know that we have lost inner spaciousness. When we do eventually sense that something is wrong, or missing, we struggle to find a name for it. [. . .]
Learning to be silent involves taking the attention off ourselves, at least in the way we are usually and compulsively thinking about ourselves, looking over our shoulder or peering at the horizon. What should I do? How can I be happier? Am I a failure or a success? What do people think of me? Am I in control?
Such questions normally determine our decisions and our patterns of growth or decline. Each question arises from a self-objectifying sense of self, which has, of course, a necessary pragmatic role to play in life. . . .. But very easily these questions can become the dominant cast of mind from which we live all the time. We become their slaves. How we see ourselves (the ego like a continuously running security camera catching every word and gesture) and how others see us (the sense of being evaluated and found wanting) has, with the help of the media, generated a cultural obsession with self-image. Unchecked and unmodified it destroys the confidence of the true self that enables us to risk and to give ourselves—in others words, to live. [. . . .]
During my visit to Norway this summer I swam, one glorious day, in an Oslo fjiord. As I don't like cold water I tested it with my toe and found it too cold for my liking. But shamed by the bravery of my Viking companion who had already jumped in I steeled myself and followed. The cold burst my mind open, a momentary agony, but then, as I swam around and my body temperature regulated, it eventually became delicious.
We are all frightened to jump it; we find excuses to avoid the sitting stillness and run from the dawning silence. But when we do become silent, life bursts open with a freshness and poignancy that is the energy of the life of Christ. In an instant the fears, prejudices and the self-constructed prisons of the human condition begin to crumble. Going into the inner room as Jesus tells us is a way of putting it. But was we enter this room we discover that we are moving through space boundlessly.
After Meditation, from Laurence Freeman, Christian Meditation Newsletter, August 1997.
[An] image that speaks of the vast mystery of Christ's friendship. . .struck me one day [in Florence] as I was walking up the steps from the crypt of the Abbey Church of San Miniato. Half-way up the stairs I saw an uninterrupted view of the length of the basilica ending at the open door of the church. A few inches higher and I would have seen through to the panoramic view of Florence that San Miniato commands from its position on the hill. . . .But from where I was standing at that moment all I could see was the clearest bright sky framed strongly by the dark door frame and the dark simple interior of the church. There was nothing to see except the full clear emptiness of the sky outside, pure light framed by interior shade.
Jesus once described himself as a doorway through which we pass into the boundlessness of God.

The Brazilian Loose Wave has a loose natural wave pattern that
is both full and thick. Elegantly soft with natural body and BEAUTY
rocking this style can be both bold and fearless!
· Hair can be colored
· Sustains Heat but Maintains Curls
· Tangle Free
· Minimal to Zero Shedding
2-5 bundles may be required depending on length and desired fullness.
Be Extremely Gentle
Wash With Moisturizing Hair Care Products
Use a Heat Protectent
Deep Condition
Keep Ends Trimmed
As careful as you are, your human hair extensions will most likely get split ends. To avoid letting the damage move up the hair shaft,
trim the ends every 6 - 10 weeks. You can do it yourself using salon scissors, or go to a hairstylist.
Q 1: Why do the colors of hair extensions show differently on my computer screen?
A: Some computer monitors display certain colors differently. However, MSBEAUTY
hair extensions allow the customer to dye the hair an array of colors they so choose.
Q 2: Why are the hair extensions I purchased different from the extensions shown on
the head of the model?
A: Model pictures shown on our website are for your reference only.
Q 3: Can you tell me why are my hair extensions getting tangled?
A: Your Hair Extensions can tangle due to dryness, oil & dirt build-up, or swimming in salt water
or chlorine. Not combing your hair daily or washing but not conditioning often can also cause tangling.
Use hydrating shampoo and conditioner, or lastly, consult your stylist for further assistance.
Q 4: Why Are my hair extensions shedding?
A: Running your fingers through the hair or using a wide-tooth comb gently could prevent shedding.
For curly hair, please don't use a small-tooth comb but we suggest combing hair gently. After washing
take time and nurse the hair preferably using your favorite hair treatment. Proper and consistent hair
maintenance will lead to less shedding. Too much heat may damage the hair.
Q 5: Can the hair be dyed or flat-ironed?
A: Yes. It is virgin hair, so it can be dyed and flat-ironed. Please be aware of using flat-iron continuously too
much heat can destroy the hair over time.
Q 6: How many bundles does it take for a full head?
A: We recommend 3-5 bundles depending on the style, length, and thickness.

Like Britney Spears, Jeff Johnson did it again and decided to fork rpm once more. Following a week long outage of the main website, he announced on the Mandriva development mailing list the launch of rpm6.org, without giving much explanation. Without more information, some people speculate this was caused by an intrusive merge by a Mandriva coder without discussing beforehand, while some others speak of the heavy criticism due to the migration, which still causing issues after several months.

Welcome to SUNRISE
North Dakota's two primary economic sectors are agriculture and energy. Researchers at the University of North Dakota, North Dakota State University, North Dakota State College of Science, and Mayville State University have been developing experience and infrastructure so that the SUNRISE BioProducts Center of Excellence can be realized to directly impact these two primary economic sectors. The result of this development is the SUstainable eNergy Research, Infrastructure and Supporting Education program, or SUNRISE.
Key Aspects
The SUNRISE initiative addresses three aspects of sustainable energy that are particularly important to the State of North Dakota:
- Sustainable coal utilization through improved environmental performance and the development of chemicals to replace petroleum-based products
- Agriculture-based fuels, chemicals, polymers, and composites development
- Harvesting energy from diffuse sources (wind/solar)
Activities in these three research thrusts will help our state achieve a well rounded portfolio to meet long-term sustainable energy needs.
The strength of this research group is the demonstrated commitment of the principal participants to truly collaborative, student-centered RD&C, as well as supporting education and outreach programs. SUNRISE is centered in and managed from the UND Departments of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry.
A total of 31 faculty researchers from 13 separate academic departments from UND, NDSU, and Mayville State currently participate in SUNRISE-associated research projects. Disciplines represented include:
- Agribusiness and Economics (NDSU)
- Ag & Biosystems Engineering (NDSU)
- Chemistry (UND, NDSU)
- Chemical Engineering (UND)
- Earth System Science and Policy (UND)
- Electrical Engineering (UND, NDSU)
- Industrial Engineering (NDSU)
- Law (UND)
- Mechanical Engineering (UND, NDSU)
- Plant Sciences (NDSU, Mayville State)
- Political Science (UND)
- Polymers and Coatings (NDSU)
- Teaching & Learning (UND).
Since 2004, SUNRISE researchers have received over $35 million for funded research and education projects from 44 separate funding entities.

Born January 27th, 1987, in Belmont, Vermont, Hannah Teter grew up with three snowboarding brothers always following them around and trying to do what they did. By watching her brother Abe doing some jibbing in the backyard the young girl quickly fall in love with snowboarding.
"From the very beginning I thought wow this is so much fun. It's such a cool way to express yourself" Teter recalled her first memories connected to the sport which would allow her so much in the up-coming years.
Totally hit with this stylish way to enjoy the snow and inspired by her brothers competing in halfpipe contests, she pushed herself ending up at the highest level to imagine.
After she captured the 2002 Junior Worlds title in Rovaniemi, Finland, where the 15-years-old became the first woman to land a 900 in a halfpipe competition, her career picked up an incredible pace.
In 2003 the South Lake Tahoe, California, resident became the youngest member of the US national team also winning her first World Cup stop in Sapporo, Japan.
But the biggest success of the X Games God medalist's career was beyond doubt the 2006 Torino Olympics Gold medal which she promptly earned at age 18 after the 2002 forerunner had made the Olympic squad.
Ever since, the 2005 World Championships Bronze medallist started to give something back. "Snowboarding is my biggest passion which led me so far. I wanted to help out."
Teter founded Hannah's Gold, a charity tried to develop Kirindom, a town in Kenia. By selling maple syrup, and cotton/hemp sweatbands, Hannah's Gold has raised more than $60,000. In addition, one of the world's best female halfpipe riders ever also started to donate all of her 2009 price money to her charity in order to benefit the people there with water filtration systems and the promise of further growth.But despite all foundation work, her snowboard career is still on full speed.

Hyper-IgM Syndrome (HIM) is a rare genetic (primary) immunodeficiency disorder that is typically inherited as an X-linked recessive genetic trait. Symptoms and physical findings associated with the disorder usually become apparent in the first or second year of life. Hyper-IgM Syndrome may be characterized by recurrent pus-producing (pyogenic) bacterial infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract including the sinuses (sinusitis) and/or the lungs (pneumonitis or pneumonia); the middle ear (otitis media); the membrane that lines the eyelids and the white portions (sclera) of the eyes (conjunctivitis); the skin (pyoderma); and/or, in some cases, other areas. Individuals with Hyper-IgM Syndrome are also susceptible to "opportunistic" infections, i.e., infections caused by microorganisms that usually do not cause disease in individuals with fully functioning immune systems (non-immunocompromised) or widespread (systemic) overwhelming disease by microorganisms that typically cause only localized, mild infections. In individuals with Hyper-IgM Syndrome, such opportunistic infections may include those caused by Pneumocystis carinii, a microorganism that causes a form of pneumonia, or Cryptosporidium, a single-celled parasite (protozoa) that can cause infections of the intestinal tract. In addition, individuals with Hyper-IgM Syndrome are prone to certain autoimmune disorders affecting particular elements of the blood, such as neutropenia, a condition in which there is an abnormal decrease of certain white blood cells (neutrophils). Additional physical findings often associated with the disorder may include enlargement (hypertrophy) of the tonsils, enlargement of the liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), chronic diarrhea and impaired absorption of nutrients by the intestinal tract (malabsorption), and/or other symptoms.
The range and severity of symptoms and physical features associated with this disorder may vary from case to case. Because approximately 70 percent of reported cases of Hyper-IgM Syndrome are inherited as an X-linked recessive genetic trait, the vast majority of affected individuals are male. However, some cases of autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant genetic inheritance have been reported. In addition, a rare acquired form of the disorder has been described in the medical literature.
The symptoms and physical findings associated with Hyper-IgM Syndrome (HIM), a rare genetic (primary) immunodeficiency disorder, typically become apparent during the first or second year of life. Such symptoms and physical findings may include recurrent pus-producing (pyogenic) bacterial infections; opportunistic infections; chronic diarrhea, impaired absorption of nutrients by the intestinal tract (malabsorption), and failure to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive); autoimmune diseases affecting certain elements of the blood; abnormalities involving the lymph nodes and lymph vessels; and/or physical characteristics associated with or secondary to such irregularities. The range and severity of such symptoms and physical findings may vary greatly from case to case.
Hyper-IgM Syndrome is considered a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder, one of a group of disorders characterized by irregularities in the cell development and/or cell maturation process of the immune system. The immune system is divided into several components, the combined actions of which are responsible for defending against different infectious agents (i.e., invading microscopic life-forms [microorganisms]). The T cell system (cell-mediated immune response) is responsible for fighting yeast and fungi, several viruses, and some bacteria. The B cell system (humoral immune response) fights infection caused by other viruses and bacteria. It does so by secreting immune factors called antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins) into the fluid portion of the blood (serum) and body secretions (e.g., saliva). There are five classes of immunoglobulins (Ig) known as IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. Antibodies can directly kill microorganisms or coat them so they are more easily destroyed by white blood cells. (The white blood cells [leukocytes] are part of the body's system of defenses, playing an essential role in protecting against infection as well as fighting infection once it occurs.) In addition, antibodies are produced following vaccination, providing protection from infectious diseases like polio, measles, and tetanus.
Many individuals with Hyper-IgM Syndrome have abnormally high levels of immunoglobulin IgM in the fluid portion of the blood (thus the term "Hyper IgM"). However, because these same individuals may be incapable of producing adequate levels of the immunoglobulins IgG, IgA, and IgE, they are susceptible to recurrent episodes of certain pus-producing (pyogenic) bacterial infections that may affect the upper and lower respiratory tract including the sinuses (sinusitis) and/or the lungs (pneumonitis or pneumonia); the middle ear (otitis media); the external ear canal (otitis externa); the membrane that lines the eyelids and the white portions (sclera) of the eyes (conjunctivitis); the skin (pyoderma); and/or other areas.
Affected individuals may also be unusually susceptible to "opportunistic" infections. The term "opportunistic" infection refers either to infections caused by microorganisms that usually do not cause disease in individuals with fully functioning immune systems or to widespread (systemic) overwhelming disease by microorganisms that typically cause only localized, mild infections. Pneumocystis carinii, a microorganism to which individuals with Hyper-IgM Syndrome are particularly susceptible, causes a form of pneumonia characterized by fever, cough, abnormally rapid breathing (tachypnea), and/or a bluish discoloration (cyanosis) of the skin and mucous membranes. Affected individuals may also be susceptible to Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus whose spores, when inhaled, may produce histoplasmosis, an infection characterized by fever; cough; a general feeling of ill health (malaise); and/or irregularities of the lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy). In addition, parasitic Cryptosporidium is sometimes found in the intestinal tract of affected individuals, causing persistent diarrhea. Cryptorsporidium may also be associated with degenerative disease of the liver (cirrhosis) and inflammation of the bile ducts (cholangitis) with resulting abdominal pain, fever, chills, and/or persistent yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and whites of the eyes (jaundice).
Individuals with Hyper-IgM Syndrome may also be prone to developing autoimmune disorders affecting certain elements of the blood. The term "autoimmune" refers to conditions in which the body's natural defenses against invading microorganisms mistakenly attack healthy tissue. Individuals with Hyper-IgM Syndrome may experience recurrent (cyclic) or persistent (chronic), often severe neutropenia, a condition in which there is an abnormal decrease in the number of certain white blood cells (neutrophils). Neutrophils play a major role in detecting, destroying, and removing invading bacteria from the blood (phagocytosis). An abnormal decrease in neutrophils (neutropenia) is often associated with fever, inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), and/or inflammation and/or ulceration of the mucous membranes of the mouth (stomatitis). In some cases, neutropenia may also result in weight loss, enlargement of the spleen (splenomegaly), and/or susceptibility to other infections. Other autoimmune disorders associated with Hyper-IgM Syndrome may include hemolytic anemia, a condition resulting from autoimmune destruction of red blood cells, and/or thrombocytopenic purpura, a condition characterized by abnormally low levels of circulating blood platelets. Platelets are specialized blood cells that help prevent and stop bleeding. Decreased levels of circulating blood platelets (thrombocytopenia) may result in increased susceptibility to bruising, the appearance of small purplish spots (petechiae) on the skin, and/or abnormal bleeding into various tissues of the body.
Other findings associated with Hyper-IgM Syndrome, some of which may become apparent at as early as six to nine months of age, may include abnormal enlargement (hypertrophy) of the tonsils and/or lymph nodes, enlargement of the liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), and/or chronic diarrhea that, in some cases, may lead to impaired absorption of nutrients by the intestinal tract (malabsorption). Affected infants with intestinal malabsorption may fail to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive). Infants and children with Hyper-IgM Syndrome may also develop widespread wart-like growths (verruca vulgaris) on the skin and/or skin rashes consisting of discolored spots (macules) and small elevated areas (papules) on the face, the scalp, and the bending surfaces of certain joints (flexor surfaces [e.g., in front of the elbows, behind the knees]).
Males with X-linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome are more likely to develop opportunistic infections and/or autoimmune disorders such as neutropenia than individuals with other forms of the disorder (i.e., autosomal recessive form, autosomal dominant form, or acquired form). In addition, some individuals with Hyper-IgM Syndrome, particularly males with X-linked recessive genetic inheritance, may be more prone to developing certain forms of cancer than the general population. In such cases, the cancer usually affects the lymphatic system (e.g., Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), often in the gastrointestinal tract and the liver.
Approximately 70 percent of reported cases of Hyper-IgM Syndrome are inherited as an X-linked recessive genetic trait. In general, human traits, including the classic genetic diseases, are the product of the interaction of two genes, one received from the father and one from the mother.
X-linked recessive disorders are conditions that are coded on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. In females, disease traits on the X chromosome can be masked by the normal gene on the second X chromosome. Since males only have one X chromosome, if they inherit a gene for a disease present on the X, it will be expressed. Men with X-linked disorders transmit the gene to all their daughters, who are carriers, but never to their sons. Women who are carriers of an X-linked disorder have a 50 percent risk of transmitting the carrier condition to their daughters, and a 50 percent risk of transmitting the disease to their sons. Thus, in summary, when Hyper-IgM Syndrome is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, the disorder is usually fully expressed in males only.
The gene responsible for X-Linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome (HIGM1) is located on the long arm (q) of chromosome X (Xq26). Chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of human cells, carry the genetic characteristics of each individual. Pairs of human chromosomes are numbered from 1 through 22, with an unequal 23rd pair of X and Y chromosomes for males, and two X chromosomes for females. Each chromosome has a short arm designated as "p" and a long arm identified by the letter "q." Chromosomes are further subdivided into many bands that are numbered. For example, "chromosome Xq26" refers to band 26 on the long arm of chromosome X.
In individuals with X-linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome, the B cell or humoral immune response is deficient as a result of a T cell defect. The first response of the B cell system to an invader (antigen) is normally the production of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies. (Antigens are those substances, such as microorganisms, toxins, or other foreign substances, that may trigger production of particular antibodies as part of an immune response.) The other classes of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, and IgE), each of which has its own defensive duties to perform, are then produced sequentially (in a process called "class switching") in the normal progression of an immune response.
Two "steps" or signals are necessary for the B cell system to switch from the production and secretion of IgM to the production and secretion of IgG, IgA, and IgE. Certain immune response proteins (e.g., interleukin-2, interleukin-4, etc.) produced by T cells must bind to their "companion" interleukin receptors on B cells. In addition, a certain molecule (CD40) found on the surface of particular B cells must interact with a companion binding protein (CD40 ligand) on the surface of certain activated T cells. Because T cells of individuals with X-linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome cannot create or synthesize the CD40 ligand, the sequential production of immunoglobulins G, A, and E (i.e., "class-switching" signaling) is inhibited, which, in turn, results in the susceptibility of affected individuals to many infectious disorders.
The gene responsible for X-Linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome encodes the CD40 ligand. Researchers have determined that several different genetic changes (mutations) and deletions have been present in the CD40 ligand gene in affected individuals.
In some cases, Hyper-IgM Syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant genetic trait. Although defects in B cell CD40 signaling (see above) have also been demonstrated in individuals with autosomal Hyper-IgM Syndrome, the gene or genes responsible for the variant form of the disorder are currently unknown.
Researchers have also described rare cases of an acquired form of the disorder that appears to be associated with exposure to the anticonvulsant drug, phenytoin, or with Congenital Rubella Syndrome, which is caused by a maternal viral infection also known as German measles (rubella). In Congenital Rubella Syndrome, affected infants may experience a variety of symptoms and physical abnormalities (e.g., deafness, congenital heart disease, hepatosplenomegaly, mental retardation, etc.) due to the mother's infection with rubella during early or mid pregnancy (i.e., up to four months gestation).
Individuals with autosomal recessive or dominant inheritance or with the acquired form of Hyper-IgM Syndrome may be either male or female.
Hyper-IgM Syndrome is a very rare disorder that, when inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, is usually fully expressed in males only. In cases of autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant inheritance or in acquired cases, males and females are affected in equal numbers. Approximately 70 percent of reported cases are X-linked.
Because the gene responsible for X-linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome has been identified, precise genetic testing may be possible. In some cases, for example, X-Linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome may be diagnosed before birth (prenatally) as early as the tenth to eleventh week of pregnancy if the specific genetic mutation carried by the affected family is known. However, although genetic testing to aid in accurate diagnosis and carrier determination is possible, such testing may only be available through research laboratories with a special interest in this disease.
Therefore, in most cases, Hyper-IgM Syndrome is diagnosed within the first few years of life, based upon a thorough clinical evaluation, identification of characteristic physical findings, a detailed patient and family history, and a pattern of immune system defects found through laboratory testing. In many cases, certain findings suggestive of the disorder, particularly upper and lower respiratory tract infections (especially if Pneumocystis carinii infection is involved), persistent diarrhea, and enlargement of the tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen, and/or liver, may be evident at as early as six to nine months of age. In addition, because immunoglobulin G, which is passed to the fetus from the mother through the placenta, protects the infant from numerous infections for only approximately six months, an affected child may begin to exhibit recurrent, persistent, and often severe bacterial infections after this time period.
Confirming a variety of immunologic abnormalities may play an essential role in establishing a diagnosis. For example, specialized tests may reveal the inability of CD40 to bind to the CD40 ligand on certain activated T cells of affected males, confirming the diagnosis of X-linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome. The same test performed on female carriers of X-Linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome will demonstrate binding in approximately half of these specialized T cells. (Female carriers do not exhibit the syndrome or its associated symptoms because they have enough T cell CD40 ligand available to achieve "class-switching" signaling and, thus, an effective immunoglobulin response.. In addition, studies conducted on the liquid portion of the blood (serum) may show elevated levels of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and, in some cases, immunoglobulin D (IgD), while levels of IgG may be extremely low and IgA and IgE may be undetectable. Also, in males with X-Linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome, while immunization will produce specific IgM antibodies, antibodies of the other immunoglobulin classes will not be produced. Other specialized testing may reveal that, in some cases, the lymph nodes lack germinal centers, the area in the center of the lymph nodes that form antibodies.
The treatment of Hyper-IgM Syndrome requires the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists who may need to systematically and comprehensively plan an affected child's treatment. Such specialists may include pediatricians; specialists in the functioning of the immune system (immunologists); physicians specializing in blood disorders (hematologists), the lungs (pulmonologists), and/or the digestive tract (gastroenterologists); and/or other health care specialists.
Treatments that have been shown to help prevent the recurrent infections associated with Hyper-IgM Syndrome (prophylactic therapy) include the administration of antibiotic medication and/or infusions with antibodies (immunoglobulins) obtained from plasma, the fluid portion of the blood (intravenous gammaglobulin). In addition, although steroid therapy is often effective in the treatment of neutropenia, autoimmune disorders in children with Hyper-IgM Syndrome may present a difficult treatment dilemma since the use of steroid medications often suppresses an already weak immune system. In some cases, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be helpful in controlling the autoimmune-like symptoms while avoiding the use of corticosteroids.
As in the case of individuals affected with other primary immunodeficiency disorders, children with Hyper-IgM Syndrome should not be given live virus vaccines since there is the remote possibility that the vaccine strains of virus may cause disease in these children as a result of their defective immune systems. However, other, unaffected members of the household where an affected individual resides should be immunized to help prevent them from bringing home a potentially dangerous infection to the individual with Hyper-IgM Syndrome.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that individuals with weakened immune systems such as those with primary immunodeficiency disorders should exercise caution when consuming certain fruit and vegetable juices. The FDA recommends that such individuals should drink only pasteurized versions of these juices, since unpasteurized juices may contain harmful bacteria that could cause overwhelming infectious illnesses.
Genetic counseling will be of benefit for affected children and their family members. Other treatment is symptomatic and supportive.

In the beginning we had the Web 1.0. Each time you clicked on an item or hit Post, the request went round trip to the server, then back to the client and re-rendered. This was slow, looked nothing like a real application, and caused people to become alcoholics, ActiveX users, or -- worst of all -- Flash developers.
We were then given AJAX, which bore us Web 2.0. This allowed us to create "real" Web applications that didn't require rooting our browser for the whole Internet. The purists started to develop single-page applications, and the industry was swarmed with young 20-something programmers with fauxhawks.
The whole AJAXian jQuerian revolution has given us AngularBackbones, and the younger generation is inventing new things -- like unit testing, debuggers, and code analyzers. While I jest, I've been hiring these folks for the last couple of years, in part due to customer demand and in part due to the fact that this is the only decent way to create a good-looking, responsive app that doesn't require installing things or having to commune with Satan or -- perish the thought -- Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager.
Meanwhile, oddly in parallel with the AJAX Web-2.0 revolution, a weird Neanderthal was born. Developed from the MVC or "Model-2" framework, along with use of the HTTPSession for sever-side state management, this strange class of frameworks made server-side applications even more stateful. Indeed, you need a few data centers to store the browser state (the state of each tiny little control on the Web page) and user state for five users. There were several incarnations of this; the first was Spring WebFlow. The second was JBoss Seam, and it was largely standardized as WebBeans.
Several attempts were made to make this stuff smell, look, or taste a bit more like a Web 2.0 application or brand it with AJAX sprinkles -- although when the page posts or an entire freaking state tree is transferred, the lag generally clues users into the idea that perhaps this is not a real AJAX application even if it uses the XmlHttpRequest object. This stuff attempts to solve a perceived problem of the disorder of actions causing random navigation to random places by imposing a state machine representation of your sitemap. In truth, it is a little like Gopherizing HTML to prevent disorderly linking.
Why this stuff emerged from the primordial soup, I will never know. It has made me a lot of money in scalability consulting (where I pretend that the root cause isn't the technology in order to avoid upsetting you while advising you to move everything into "request" or "flash" mode). It's a path that diverged from the pendulum swing that is the evolution of the Internet, or at least the World Wide Web part of it.
It isn't Web 1.0 or Web 2.0 -- it's Weberthal. This stuff has been in decline for years, but you should do your part for evolution (or for your deity if you don't believe in evolution) and start helping Weberthal along to extinction.

North Korea Threatens More Nuclear Arms
Pyongyang Plans to Restart Reactor to Supply Weapons Program; Move Follows Washington's Flexing of Military Muscle
North Korea said it would restart its only nuclear reactor to provide plutonium for its weapons program, further ratcheting up tensions on the Korean peninsula and drawing swift international criticism.
"Nuclear threats are not a game," said U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at a news conference in Andorra. "The current crisis has already gone too far."
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called the North's recent belligerent rhetoric "unacceptable" and said the U.S. will defend itself as well as South Korea and Japan from any threat from the North.
Experts said it would take many months for North Korea to get the reactor operational again and much longer to extract enough plutonium to make weapons. The reactor at the Yongbyon plant, 55 miles north of Pyongyang, was closed in 2007, and the North Koreans destroyed the cooling tower the following summer as part of an aid-for-disarmament deal that soon collapsed.
The North's move came after rapidly deteriorating relations between Pyongyang and Seoul and after several symbolic but muscular U.S. military maneuvers on the Korean peninsula.
Defense experts said the Obama administration's flexing of military muscle has so far had the intended effect of reassuring Seoul, but that a risk remains that rising U.S. military pressure could provoke Pyongyang into a rash move.
In addition to flying B-52 and B-2 bombers over South Korea and putting a pair of F-22 fighter planes on display, the U.S. also has begun to reinforce regional defenses, moving two guided missile destroyers into position off the coast of South Korea to boost missile defenses.

Administration officials have defended their approach as necessary, given recent advances in North Korea's weapons capabilities as well as the need to reassure a more nationalistic government in Seoul that Washington takes the threat seriously.
Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said the U.S. was "in the business" of assuring South Korea that the U.S. will defend them. "We are looking for the temperature to be taken down on the Korean peninsula," he said.
Michael Green, a scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who oversaw Asian affairs at the White House during the George W. Bush administration, also praised the current get-tough approach with North Korea. "I think it was appropriate and well-coordinated with South Korea and Japan," Mr. Green said.
Pyongyang's announcement on Tuesday was quickly criticized by its neighbors.
South Korea's Foreign Ministry spokesman called Pyongyang's announcement "very regrettable."
In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said China had expressed its "regret" over Pyongyang's declaration, though he reiterated Beijing's previous hesitant approach on international sanctions, saying they "cannot solve the problem fundamentally."
Japan's Chief Cabinet Speaker Yoshihide Suga told reporters that restarting the Yongbyon nuclear plant "would be a grave concern for Japan."
The U.N.'s Mr. Ban urged North Korea again "to fully abide by the relevant Security Council resolutions and refrain from making further provocative measures."
Satellite imagery in recent months has shown construction work at the Yongbyon plant but it isn't clear if North Korea has already started work to put its reactor back online.
Many outside analysts believe North Korea sees its nuclear threat as a negotiating tool to force the U.S. and other countries to provide it with money and security guarantees, and restarting its 1980s-era reactor would add further pressure to the North's foes.
"I consider this a pretty serious move by Pyongyang in the series of steps it has been taking to push the U.S. toward some form of negotiation," said Narushige Michishita, an associate professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies in Tokyo.
The five-megawatt reactor was North Korea's only source of plutonium for its weapons program. North Korea revealed a uranium-enrichment facility at the plant in 2010, another route to provide fissile material for nuclear weapons. North Korea said through its state news agency that work to restart all facilities at Yongbyon will be "put into practice without delay."
North Korea has said repeatedly in recent days that its nuclear weapons program is now nonnegotiable and will be built up in order to provide security from what it sees as threats from the U.S. and South Korea. On Feb. 12, North Korea staged its third test of a nuclear weapon, a move that triggered an escalation in tensions on the peninsula and was followed by a series of provocative threats from Pyongyang.
North Korea is thought to have enough plutonium-based fissile material for as many as a dozen small bombs. It isn't clear if it has been able to develop a uranium-based bomb, but experts have speculated that it used uranium in its February test.
The uranium-enrichment facility at Yongbyon is North Korea's only declared such facility, but experts suspect Pyongyang may have other enrichment centers.
North Korea has threatened to attack Washington with a nuclear weapon but it isn't thought to be able to mount a nuclear weapon on a missile yet, or to be able to hit the U.S. mainland.
Since its first test of a nuclear bomb in 2006, North Korea has repeatedly asked the U.S. and other major countries to recognize it as a nuclear-weapons state and negotiate with it as an equal power.
"North Korea wants to show its willingness to become a nuclear power not only verbally but also in action," said Kim Yong-hyun, a North Korea expert at Dongguk University in Seoul.
North Korea also said on Tuesday the Yongbyon reactor would provide electricity for the energy-starved country. The nation has frequent power outages because of its weak energy infrastructure.

Kekkilä Garden: Prefab Garden Shed Turned Backyard Retreat
Prefab sheds usually conjure up images of utilitarian wood and steel structures, but this airy and modern shed from Kekkilä Garden is a DIY for daydreamers.
Intended to be part storage shed and part greenhouse, this modular structure is manufactured by Finnish garden supplier Kekkilä Garden. The original shed offered by the company comes in several prefabbed configurations and can be assembled with only a screwdriver.
However, designer Linda Bergroth built this custom version to be used as her own summer retreat, complete with wood flooring and solar panels for lighting.
If I drifted away to a peaceful paradise like this, I don't think I'd ever float back to reality...

(CPJ/IFEX) - New York, August 24, 2011 - The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes the news that U.S. journalist Matthew VanDyke escaped with several inmates from Abu Salim prison in Tripoli today. VanDyke's mother told CPJ that he called her with the news of his escape and that he is safe and in good spirits. He also told his mother that he had been kept in solitary confinement for much of his imprisonment. It was not clear whether the prison was now controlled by rebels.
"We are relieved that Matthew VanDyke's five-month ordeal is over," said CPJ Deputy Director Robert Mahoney. "We hope that all journalists detained since the current uprising began are released immediately."
VanDyke had been missing in Libya since March 13 and was believed to have been captured in mid-March by forces loyal to Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, his mother told CPJ. On August 10, the Libyan government finally admitted to having him in custody but would not provide any information on his whereabouts.

|Tim Cleary
|Colin McPoyle
|Taylor Nelson
|Mike Rufo
Jim Rogalski, head men's lacrosse coach at The University of Scranton, has announced that seniors Colin McPoyle (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks South) and Mike Rufo (Broomall, Pa./Haverford School) and juniors Tim Cleary (Shrewsbury, NJ/Christian Brothers Academy) and Taylor Nelson (Chester Springs, Pa./Downingtown East) will serve as team captains for the upcoming 2012 season.
"All four have shown remarkable leadership ability since I took over as head coach in the summer of 2010," says Rogalski. "I'm confident that they will continue to serve as leaders as we look to expand upon the progress that we made last season. In addition, each of them will play a key role in our quest to repeat as Landmark Conference champions and return to the NCAA tournament."
McPoyle and Cleary were mainstays on a defensive unit that held nine opponents under 10 goals last season. In three seasons, McPoyle has appeared in 46 games and has 44 ground balls and 25 caused turnovers. Cleary, a 2011 first-team all-Landmark Conference selection, has 54 ground balls and 29 caused turnovers in 30 career games.
Nelson and Rufo both earned second-team all-Landmark Conference honors last season to help Scranton to its first Landmark Conference title and second conference championship in the program's 25-year history. Nelson led the Royals in goals (31) and total points (43) while Rufo was second in goals scored (25) and third overall in total points (29). In addition, Rufo enters his final campaign needing 18 goals to move into the top 15 all-time in Scranton history.
The Royals finished the 2011 season with a 9-8 record in Rogalski's first season as head coach. Scranton won four of its final five games, including wins over Catholic University and defending champion Goucher College in the Landmark Conference postseason tournament, with its only loss coming to then 12th-ranked Gettysburg, 8-3, in the opening round of the NCAA Division III championships.

The Office makes Torey Henderson laugh, but not because Dwight Schrute is a squirrely hoot. It's because when she sees John Krasinski's dimples and strong, cleft chin, she sees her 18-month-old daughter. When the single mom and corrections officer in Little Rock, Arkansas, began searching for a sperm donor two years ago, it wasn't hard to find what she was looking for (someone strong in math and science). But seeing Krasinski's photo attached to the donor profile was "a big part of what made me fall in love with that person's DNA."
Welcome to fertility in the TMZ era. Exactly three years ago, California Cryobank, one of the largest sperm banks in the country, launched its Donor Look-a-Likes program: Clients could search the anonymous donors based on the celebrities they resemble. From Adrien Grenier to Zac Efron, California Cryobank has DNA for every tabloid crush.
"The traditional way of picking a donor by height, weight, and education just isn't enough anymore," says Scott Brown, communications manager for California Cryobank. "We found a way to present donors as three-dimensional human beings without jeopardizing their anonymity."
The week Donor Look-a-Likes launched, California Cryobank's website traffic jumped 50 percent. But the big question was: Would it work? Three years (and fifty rom-coms) later, there are offspring to prove it.
Henderson, who requested that her name be withheld from this story, says her daughter has Krasinski's "sweet, soft, kid-next-door features." Brooke Smith, who also requested anonymity, chose a donor matched to actor Tobey Maguire. "And sure enough, our daughter has Tobey's pouty mouth and smile." Smith has even recommended the service to couples shopping for donors on Facebook. One responded, "I hope they don't sell out of Ryan Gosling!"
Over the past five years, sperms banks have emerged as one of America's biggest growth industries, to the tune of $320 million in annual revenue. But "the experience can be very cold at times," says Henderson. So it only makes sense to pair it with celebrity, a booming industry based on popularity and physical appearance. "Having someone familiar to look at definitely helps humanize the process," she adds.
We've finally found a practical, family-friendly use for our love of E!

Real-World Review
2013 Lexus ES 300h: Real World Test
I'm from a small-ish town and my everyday car is a Toyota Corolla, so the 2013 Lexus ES 300h was one of the most luxurious cars I'd ever driven. Even so, I had high expectations of the brand, and the ES did not disappoint.
I'm not really into technology for the fun of it, but I know good tech when I see it. The ES hybrid's Bluetooth connection is easy to set up and works as expected. I was able to connect my iPhone 4S within just a few minutes -- and I didn't even have to crack open the owner's manual to do it. All the buttons were labeled with self-explanatory images. The Lexus navigation system is one of the best around, and the mouse-like interface is easy to use and makes fairly deep menus seem really simple.
Impressive Interior
In terms of passenger space, there's ample room throughout the sedan. Both passengers in the front and back felt comfortable when the car was full. However, the ES is not really great for tall people. At 5 feet 7 inches, the top of my head almost grazes the ceiling when I'm behind the wheel.
Impressive but expected luxury features include a heated steering wheel, plus heated and cooled seats; both worked quickly and quietly. The car also senses when the key is inside and will not allow you to lock the doors until it's retrieved -- a real life-saver for someone like me who is always running from one place to the next. Also, if you tend to lose your car in giant parking garages, the ES 300h's interior lights turn on when you're close.
Hybrid Powertrain
I had never driven a hybrid before. The feeling of the engine dying at stoplights was hard to get used to, but there was no lack of power on the highway. Acceleration is very good. The car pulls away from a stop with plenty of power. However, there's an unpleasant noise that occurs every time the car goes into Eco mode. The high-pitched whine is probably something hybrid drivers get used to, but I found it to be very irritating. And this isn't the Eco mode the driver selects. The car automatically goes into this drive mode when you hit just the right combination of low to moderate speeds and are pushing very lightly on the accelerator pedal.
Safety Features
Another feature that I'd give mixed reviews is the blind spot monitoring system. The blind spot alert seems like a great thing, except when you're in traffic. The sensor seems to scan much more than your blind spot, which is not helpful in a city like Atlanta, where you are always surrounded by cars. The large sensing area makes you think you missed something when, really, you have already accounted for the car that is far enough back in the adjacent lane. It also flashes when you put your turn signal on. The constant flashing alarmed me to the point where I would no longer change lanes. In city driving, it's better to just turn it off, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a blind spot monitoring system.
The backup camera was incredibly helpful once I got used to the angles, but it was raining a lot when I drove the ES. I'm not sure what the solution is, but after the rain stopped, drops would stay on the camera and obstruct the view. Still, the feature is worthwhile considering some cars have no camera at all.
As equipped, our Lexus test car was just over $49,000. That's a lot of money for a fuel-efficient large sedan. In fact, it's almost $3,000 more than a Lexus ES 350 with a more traditional V6 engine. Add the new Toyota Avalon Hybrid to your shopping list if this ES appeals to you but you're not into dropping $50 grand. Since I spent most of my time in the city, I was averaging about 40 mpg. In the end, the ES hybrid makes fuel sipping about as painless as it can be.

CANINE PARVOVIRUS (CPV or Parvo) disease is a common, but serious, infectious viral disease that affects dogs. Puppies, especially, are prone to contracting the virus because their immune systems are immature.
Once infected, the dog
sheds the virus in its stool and almost anything that comes in contact with the infected dog's fecal matter can become contaminated. The Parvo organism is hardy and it can survive on clothing, food dishes, and cage floors. It can withstand adverse environmental conditions and can be transmitted by insects and rodents.
Parvo is characterized by foul-smelling, bloody diarrhea. Other symptoms include lethargy, vomiting, and fever. The virus attacks the lining of the digestive system, making it difficult, if not impossible, for the animal to absorb nutrients. It is important to note that Parvo progresses very rapidly in an unprotected dog, so if you suspect your dog is suffering with the symptoms of Parvo, seek immediate medical attention. If the diagnosis is positive, your veterinarian can guide you in the management of the symptoms and offer a plan of treatment for this life-threatening disease.
The best way to guard against this infection is to make sure your puppy has a complete vaccination series. Most combination vaccines include parvovirus, which, along with canine distemper, parainfluenza, and hepatitis, are considered core vaccines essential for all dogs. Rabies is also a core vaccine, but it is always given as a separate vaccination by a licensed veterinarian.
Consult with your veterinarian on a vaccination schedule right for your puppy. This schedule begins with puppies 6-8 weeks of age. Do not allow your puppy to socialize with other dogs or to visit areas frequented by other dogs until after the time of his last vaccination. As a concerned dog owner, you know how important it is to know the facts when it comes to your companion's healthcare. Vaccinations are a fundamental health issue that, with the right information and the help of your veterinarian, you can manage quite easily.

"Day and evening classes begin Wednesday, Jan. 9," Cindy Aycock, registrar assistant, said. "Online classes begin on Thursday, Jan. 17."
Luebke, said PCCUA continues to be a very economical way to earn a two-year degree that can be transferred to four year colleges and universities throughout the state.
"We pride ourselves on the services we provide and the attention and support that our students receive from both faculty and staff," Luebke said.
The spring 2013 semester would be a good time for anyone to come by to see everything that is offered to the community in education, entertainment and just for fun, Luebke said.
There are three associates degrees that can be obtained at the PCCUA campuses including the Associate of Arts degree, the Associate of Science degree and the Associate of Applied Science degree.
The two certificates, the Technical Certificate and the Certificate of Proficiency, are given in a variety of fields such as advanced manufacturing, cosmetology, crime scene investigation, early childhood education, law enforcement administration, nursing and welding.

Modder River
The idyllic Letaba Rest Camp is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River, midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the Kruger National Park. The name means "river of sand", and the sandy riverbed is an excellent location for game viewing, particularly elephant, which thrive in the area. Letaba is a green oasis in the surrounding mopane veld, and remains a firm favourite with visitors. At night the stars overlook a symphony of sounds. Owls, nightjars, frogs, fruit bats, crickets and cicadas all vie to be heard, until the lion roars, then all are silent.

Organized Inspiration: Creating Binders of Favorite Photos
Whether because the rain, or the coming of spring, or my recent home day-dreaming, I've been spending hours happily getting all of my at-home-inspiration materials in order..
A year ago or so I splurged on these "Super View" Japanese binders from Kinokuniya Stationery in San Francisco's Japantown mall (the Kinokuniya that's upstairs right by the ice cream-crepe place). They were $5.95 for the 20-page version and $8.95 for the 40-page version, and I bought a few of each not knowing quite how I was going to use them. I love the sturdy frosted covers and the crystal-clear interior pages, the fact that they stay open-flat, and how nice and neat they look on my shelves. I particularly like the 40-page versions: plenty of room for future additions, but not too huge. Mine are about half filled, and I get an inordinate amount of joy from arranging & rearranging the pages.
This book holds my current houseplant/fire escape garden inspiration, as well as ideas for the future, if I happen to have more space and maybe even a little land. Gorgeous images, plant care and diagnosis, gardening book reviews, outdoor lighting, flower arranging, hypertufa how-to, and more.
This is definitely my favorite, the one I've spent the most time arranging and admiring. It holds ideas for entertaining, food presentation, kitchen design, food packaging, information on intriguing ingredients, and of course, recipes. The sensible thing to do would have probably been to organize it by season, or type of food. I have organized it visually, with glamorous full-page photos at the front (their accompanying recipes, if any, tucked behind), image and text combinations in the middle, and nuts and bolts recipes (handwritten, copied, printed from online) at the back. Many of the ideas and images I've saved are for the future, when I might be making jam and pickles and infused liqueurs from my garden.
Desserts & Cocktails
So, so pretty. Again, there are many ideas contained within this book, besides the recipes: cake stands, serving pieces, birthday parties, tea parties, edible gift ideas. And sometimes you just need to look at pretty cakes.
Home Design
This binder is still in the beginning stages, and is coming together slowly, as most of my favorite images are ones I've found online. I don't want to print them, but... Still, it makes me happy, and is the perfect way to stash project and aesthetic ideas for now, or years from now.
We'll see how this one goes. I have no urge to rip up all my Vogues, but the stack is growing a little high. Time to start tearing!
Have you found a practical and pleasing way to organize all your favorite images and ideas?

Millions of American kids will arrive home this month from the country's 7,000 overnight camps, full of stories about traditional activities like archery, crafts and waterskiing and the questionable pleasures of bug juice and bunk beds.
The summer retreats we feature here break that mold, offering campers organic food, golf lessons from PGA pros, and jaunts to New York City for cooking classes, and the odd shopping trip to FAO Schwarz. Their parents pay for the perks. In 2011, the average weekly fee for overnight camp was $690, according to the American Camp Association. The camps that follow charge upwards of $1,025 per week.
