The color palette permeating most spring/summer '11 shows is the strongest it's been in seasons. After the advertising-driven fashion week in New York and The International Herald Tribune's Suzy Menkes remarked last February that Milan's five-day fashion week "deserves more from the fashion world than a cursory glance at the shows." And indeed, with most front row seats featuring Dolce & Gabbana-clad editors from the world's best blogs and newspapers, it's easy to see why Milan's designers were particularly on their toes—and perfectly on point—this season.
Dolce & Gabbana's crisp white palette was accented with the kinds of patterns that the duo knows best. Doily lace pleated shorts, flowing dresses fit for an adult baptism and broderie anglaise were all present along with the label's signature love of leopard print. It was a new direction for the brand, which is still basking in its 25th anniversary glow the industry, as it continues to innovate leading trends.
Prada's Josephine Baker-style take on summer prints, meanwhile, incorporated Frida Kahlo box shaped Hawaiian shirts, banana prints and bold, bright stripes on skirts fit for a tribal dance. Although Miuccia Prada is known to demand changes that make an item "more ugly," she is pushing aesthetic boundaries in the best way possible—Prada calls it "minimal baroque" but we call it a pure revolution.
Jil Sander's Raf Simons used bold striping in an unrivaled collection set to perfectly play on the proportions of a woman's body: layered suiting in bright purples and cobalt blues, tube skirts that featured a contrast tulip frill at the hip and long skirts pin tucked at the waist and printed in wide stripes. Simons' bold choices were complemented by strong silhouettes coupled with electric colors and prints that almost seemed to revolt against all things minimal, while somehow remaining distinctly minimal.
Emilio Pucci's look back to the '70s meant long layered ruffle dresses, tie-up thigh-high boots and delft blue printed kaftans that were enough to inspire an instant Bahamas getaway. The cut-out bikinis and lace-up trouser and blouse combination may have taken the decade's Grecian vibe a tad too far, but laser cut fabrics and knitted dresses seemed suitable for a horse riding goddess on a deserted beach.
Moschino Cheap and Chic also worked broderie anglaise into its collection, which was splashed with turquoise shell details and Chanel-inspired suit jackets that were accessorized with taffeta handbags. Shell necklaces and belted knits were teamed with oversized printed t-shirts and polka dotted pants. The collection was fun and sassy—and, as always, chic.
Leopard print was the most obvious feature of the Blumarine collection, appearing on trousers, long dresses and kaftans in a variety of colors that proved to be somewhat overwhelming. Roberto Cavalli's similarly flowing silhouettes were captured in a beige and mauve color palette that provided to be a simmered down alternative to the brighter colors among the other collections. Versace, meanwhile, worked with cut-out asymmetrical dresses and sculptured Grecian armour-style pieces fit for a sexy but determined lady—someone much like Donatella Versace herself.
As s/s '11 Milan Fashion Week comes to a close, so does the buzz of a city whose people live for looking good—especially in those hot summer months.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama football team practiced for two hours in full pads on Tuesday afternoon inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility as preparations continue for Saturday's SEC road game at Mississippi State. The Crimson Tide worked indoors on Tuesday due to the heavy rains in the Tuscaloosa area from tropical storm Ida.
Senior nose guard Terrence Cody talked about defending the Mississippi State running game this weekend.
"They are a pretty tough team," Cody said of the Bulldogs' offense. "They put their mind to running the ball and they try and run the ball at you as many times as they can. They are real physical up front and have some tough running backs."
Alabama sophomore running back Mark Ingram and MSU senior running back Anthony Dixon are the league's top two rushers heading into Saturday's game. Ingram leads the league with 127.6 yards per game, while Dixon has a 125.1 yard per game average.
Alabama offensive lineman Barrett Jones talked about practice and how the offense is preparing for Mississippi State's defense.
"We've been having good practices this week," Jones said after Tuesday's practice. "Mississippi State is a good opponent and they've got a really good team, so we've been preparing hard just like any other week.
"They do a lot of different things on defense. They have a lot of talent over there. They have some young guys, but they are still really talented. They bring a lot of looks at us and that's something we have really been working on this week."
Alabama and Mississippi State will kick off at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14, from Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field in Starkville, Miss. The game will be nationally televised by ESPN with Brad Nessler, Todd Blackledge and Erin Andrews describing the action. The game will also be aired on the Crimson Tide Sports Network with Eli Gold, Phil Savage and Barry Krauss calling the action. The game can be heard locally in Tuscaloosa on WFNN-FM (95.3 FM).

No Diet or Heavy Workouts for Maria Menounos! See the Fit Star's Reasonable Approach to Fitness
You never know when Mario Menounos is going to strip down to her bikini, but if you've got it, flaunt it. The Extra correspondent, part-time WWE wrestler, and bestselling author of The EveryGirls Guide to Life is five foot eight inches of toned beauty, and isn't afraid to show off her stunning physique. Maria recently sat down with E! News to discuss how she keeps up with her fitness while wearing so many hats, and the answers were shocking.
The gorgeous Greek revealed that she never works out, but walks constantly and tries to limit her diet to foods "from the ground." If that sounds like a typical celebrity half-truth, think again. Maria's "everything in moderation" lifestyle is the most reliable way to sustain a healthy weight and keep her body running like a well-oiled machine.
It turns out dieting really isn't Maria's cup of tea either. "Diets are confining," said Maria. "I don't count calories. I just try to eat as many fruits and vegetables as I can."

As you might have read in the press, the weather this year has been really unhelpful when it comes to preparing plants for this year's Chelsea. We are used to slowing plants down but not to the extent that we have had to do this year. As a result, quite a few of the plants will be over but luckily both Luciano and Cleve have got lots of alternatives to choose from. Nearly all the plants are in shade tunnels at the moment, trying to keep the sun and warmth off them as much as possible. We are also having to wash all the cobbles that are going into the water features for both gardens. We need the water to be crystal clear and it's a lot easier to do this back at the Crocus nursery than up at Chelsea.
Laurent-Perrier Posts
The plants start arrivingSunday, May 15th, 20113 Comments
Peter Randall-Page arrives with his bouldersSaturday, May 14th, 2011No Comments
Peter Randall-Page is one of the UK's most highly respected artists. His work can be found at the Tate, the British Museum, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and the Dulwich Picture Gallery as well as many other galleries both in the UK and around the world. So we have been extremely lucky that he agreed to help Luciano with the Laurent-Perrier garden. The three boulders look magnificent and sit very naturally within the garden.
You must go and see Tom Stuart-Smith's exhibition at the Garden MuseumSaturday, May 14th, 2011No Comments
As some of you might know, we have built all of Tom's gardens at Chelsea for the last 8 years. This year he is having a rest from Chelsea and instead is putting on an exhibition at the Garden Museum (right next to Lambeth Palace, on the opposite side of the river to the Houses of Parliament). It's a real opportunity to see some of Tom's work outside of Chelsea and I would strongly recommend it. He is also giving talks at the Museum on the 8th, 15th and 22nd of June. You can contact the Museum via their website http://www.gardenmuseum.org.uk/
Kengo Kuma's pavilion arrivesSaturday, May 14th, 2011No Comments
The pavilion was constructed in Japan and two of Kengo Kuma's staff came over to help assemble it at Chelsea. But it is always a nerve-racking moment when the time comes to put it all together. I have included lots of photos of the assembly simply because it is quite difficult to describe how it all went. At one stage even I had to get involved to help out!
Crucial next few daysThursday, May 12th, 2011No Comments
We have some important days coming up on the Laurent-Perrier garden. In order to start assembling the Kengo Kuma pavilion on Friday, we need to have installed the paving by close of play today. Each slab has been precisely drilled so that the pavilion can fit through the stone and into the structure underneath. So everything has to be accurate to a few millimetres – not easy at the best of times and certainly not in a stressful environment like Chelsea. At the same time, Andrew Ewing and his team have been installing the water feature. Each of the stones, weighing a few hundred kilos, have to be laid exactly flat so that the water flows over the edge in a consistent way. Not easy, but Andrew has done it many times before.
Day 7 on the Laurent-Perrier GardenTuesday, May 10th, 2011No Comments
It seems as if we have been on site for much longer than a week but it has only been 7 days. Progress has been good with the liner to the pool being installed today and the first row of Parrotia Persica trees being planted. The sculptured branches of the trees really stand out against the hornbeam hedge. Graham has been doing some finishing touches to the top of the hedge – the camera behind him looks like something from a MOD facility but it is actually a time lapse camera that Luciano has installed.
Luciano changes his mind!Monday, May 9th, 2011No Comments
The parrotias have been arriving at Chelsea and are looking magnificent. Back in April Luciano came to the Crocus nursery to work out exactly which tree was to go where in the garden. We even marked out the entire garden and numbered each one. So when we got to site this morning, we thought – no problem. But Luciano decided that he wanted to change the layout – so much for forward planning. Luckily it was not a big deal and we changed them around without a problem. The only thing I said is that once we have planted them, we can't move them!
Luciano has a test run with the plantsSunday, May 8th, 2011No Comments
Building a Chelsea garden brings together so many different people and trades. When we finish the garden, I will add up exactly the number of people who will have worked on the Laurent-Perrier garden but I bet it will be about 50 people – maybe more. So on the same day that Mark, Gary and Terry are pouring concrete for the water rill, and Graham is planting the hornbeam hedging, Luciano is down at the Crocus nursery working with Spirry to try and determine the exact combination of plants that he wants. It's a really good idea to spend some time on the nursery looking at the plants because it allows the designer to spend some time, not surrounded by the chaos of Chelsea, to really think about the right combinations.
Finally, Graham won't thank me for this but Nicolle, from Luciano's office, came to help us yesterday and I managed to catch them on camera, with Nicolle doing all the work and Graham and Mark just standing around watching!
A Royal Cup of TeaSaturday, May 7th, 2011No Comments
Not Thames Water's new pipe worksSaturday, May 7th, 2011No Comments
You could be forgiven for mistaking our pipework going into the Laurent-Perrier garden for some major new installation by Thames Water but you would be wrong. It's actually Andrew Ewing's water feature being installed. The challenge is that Luciano wants to have a substantial flow of water down the central channel and to achieve this we need a significant amount of water as well as pumps.

text: LEXINGTON, Va., Dec. 20, 2013 – During the Nov. 9 home football game against Gardner-Webb University, VMI didn't just defeat the visiting football team – the Institute also came away from the game with high placings in the Game Day Challenge.The Game Day Challenge is a friendly competition among colleges and universities to reduce the amount of waste generated during tailgating before football games. The competition is run by the College and University Recycling Coalition, RecycleMania, and Keep America Beautiful, with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WasteWise program.To participate in the Game Day Challenge, each college or university picks one home football game and measures the amount of recycling and organic materials collected during that event. This information is used to compile a percentage of waste diverted from landfills.The 2013 Game Day Challenge resulted in the Institute recycling or composting 61 percent of the 1,800 pounds of waste generated that day. This resulted in a placement of second in Virginia, and 23rd nationally. In 2012, the Institute placed third in Virginia, and 39th nationally, in the diversion rate category.In 2013, VMI placed first in Virginia, and 20th nationally, in the category of per capita waste minimization, up from second in that category in Virginia, and 42nd nationally, in 2012.This year, the Institute was also first in Virginia, and ninth overall, in per capita organics. VMI also took the top spot in statewide organics last year, but placed 13th nationally in 2012.In the category of per capita recycling, VMI placed second in Virginia, and 29th nationally, in 2013. The Institute was also second in the state in this category, and 38th nationally, in 2012. "Overall, we ranked higher relative to the field this year versus last year – top third, versus top half in most categories," said Maj. Jenny deHart, VMI staff engineer and sustainability coordinator. She also coordinates the Institute's participation in the Game Day Challenge.VMI has been participating in the Game Day Challenge each year since 2011, but has only competed in the organics category for the past two years.–Mary Price

Full-time Jobs
Are you getting ready to graduate? Need to start planning for that full-time job? There's a lot more to finding a job than handing out resumes or going online. There are several different methods for finding employment and it's best to use a variety of them for success.
Most job searches take between 3-6 months and it is an extremely competitive market. You need to be sure that you have the necessary tools and that they're polished and ready to work for you. Each year thousands of graduating students throughout the United States begin the process of searching for full-time career opportunities. The search involves responding to job announcements, following up on suggestions and leads, and participating in campus interviews.
TIMELINE for your SENIOR YEAR--Make sure you're prepared!
Fall Semester
- If you don't have a resume, attend one of our professional development workshops or check out the links we've compiled to create a dynamic resume.

Employers are willing to hold positions for outstanding candidates until their graduation so don't think that you shouldn't attempt to interview because you still have a semester to complete. It's a great feeling to walk the stage and know that you have a job waiting on the other side.
- Let people in your network know that you will be graduating soon and ask them to let you know if they hear of any openings.
- Keep a written log or spreadsheet of all of your employer contacts including items such as employer name, address, telephone number and contact person/job title as well as the date of each contact by letter, telephone call or interview. It is also important to note the action that is required or that will follow from each contact. Be sure to follow up with the employer as needed.

Gov. Rick Scott has scrapped most of his Thursday schedule and is heading to Kansas City to be with his ailing mother, Esther, who is fighting an infection and hospitalized in intensive care.
Scott on Twitter this morning asked for prayers for his mom, 84, who campaigned with him in 2010 and was featured in television spots assuring voters the first-time candidate was a 'good boy.' She divides her time between her home in Kansas City and Florida.
Shortly after unveiling sweeping proposals for college and K-12 education next year at a conference in Fort Myers, Scott interrupted his scheduled to fly west. He tweeted, "This year has been tough," adding that his wife, Ann, lost her father in January that her mother died last month.

Dancing With the Stars Season 17, Week 9: Jack Osbourne, Cheryl Burke, and Sharna Burgess's Trio Samba
On Dancing With the Stars Season 17, Week 9, Jack Osbourne and Cheryl Burke were joined by the always awesome Sharna Burgess for a Trio Samba.
In the video, we learned they are dancing to "The Jungle Book," so the story is that Jack is saving Cheryl from Sharna. Apparently Sharna and Cheryl are very similar, so Jack got bossed around times two. "I'm not a very spicey fellow," he said.
Well, Jack certainly kept his performance level up, with a huge smile the whole time. The dance was a little messy, but fun. At the end Jack ran around the stange. He seemed happy!
Len called it clever and fun, but the technique wasn't so good in some places. Bruno said he had so much fun. The Samba is a party dance, and Jack partied like there was no tomorrow. Carrie Ann thought it was fun, but the technique kind of went out the door. It wasn't his best dance, but it was fun.
Score: 8, 8, 9.
What did you think of this dance? Let us know in the comments below!
Catch the next episode of Dancing With the Stars Season 17 on Monday, November 18, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

A wooly Merry Christmas!
I am signing off for 2011 today. I want to thank all of you for following along on this middle-aged woman's Internet adventure! A special thanks goes to my new and wonderful friend Sonya for her support in all of this! A very heartfelt God Jul to you and your family, Sonya!
I received a large box of yarn this week filled with all kinds of fiber : Icelandic wool, llama, alpaca, silk, musk ox, bufffalo, camel, yes camel! I am going to be knitting these up and sharing their stories with you in 2012.
So, from me and the lambs, a very Merry Christmas to you all! I hope this time will be filled with love and laughter. And, why not, in the words of Tiny Tim, "God bless us, everyone!"

Nine candidates are vying to be Seattle mayor.
Times City Hall reporter Lynn Thompson sat down recently with neighborhood activist Kate Martin to let her introduce herself and tell voters what's important to her. The answers have been edited for length.
You run a planning and design business, but you haven't held elective office. What experience would you bring to the job of mayor?
A: I've been an activist for about 15 years and have followed dozens of issues: land use, planning, transportation, education, youth. I got involved in a lot of things over the years raising my two kids. I started to think about how I wanted to be a policymaker, instead of just knocking on the door from the outside.
I ran for School Board in 2011 and I almost won. I feel like I've got the institutional knowledge down. I feel like my planning and design skills are very needed. I feel like we don't need another lawyer. I feel like we really need logical planning but also some visionary design. As an environmentalist, I'm disappointed in our lack of comprehensive sustainability.

I've been a small-business owner for 25 years, so I'm toward frugality. There's none of that going on at the city. People are ready for that. I also think people are ready for inspiration in terms of a shared vision.
Q: How would you balance growth with quality of life and protecting single-family neighborhoods?
I have a nuanced view of single-family neighborhoods. That's why I built the house we live in as a flex house, so it can accommodate different family groupings and we can rent out some space.
If we have these huge expanses of single family neighborhoods and many houses with just one person in them, that's not sustainable.
But the land-use aspect of single-family neighborhoods really agrees with me — the idea of having more green space, the building taking up a smaller footprint, having a garden and space for trees and a sidewalk where you can walk down and see your neighbors — all of those things need to stay. I just think we need to gently absorb more density.
Q: What would you do to ensure the Seattle Police Department has strong leadership and undertakes the work of reform?
A: With (Police Chief John) Diaz it felt like he wasn't the real chief, like the command staff under him was calling the shots. If you're going to have a military organization like a police force you need the person in charge to actually be in charge.
The chief needs to set the tone. I'm just reading "Breaking Rank" by (former Seattle Police Chief) Norm Stamper. It's upsetting to see how prevalent racism and excessive use of force is across the country. We have a lot of work to do. If we can get a chief with a track record of success, not just promises, that would be great.
Q: Seattle has a $1.8 billion backlog in deferred maintenance for transportation infrastructure such as roads and bridges. That's despite passing a $365 million levy in 2006 that was meant to catch us up. How would you address it?
A: My platform is maintenance not neglect. We passed Bridging the Gap (transportation levy in 2006), but we're getting further behind. I think we need to take a percentage of the value of our assets and invest that annually. My other idea is to leverage private dollars much more effectively. My plan for sidewalks would leverage dollars from people on a block willing to contribute to the cost. This would also hold for arterials and commercial frontages.
I think (Mayor) Mike (McGinn) has put the bus system on ignore. He just talks about rail, rail, rail. I'd like to work with the state and the county to get the bus system figured out.
Q: Did you roll your eyes at a recent candidate forum when McGinn said that he'd gotten his start in politics as a Greenwood community activist?
I worked with Mike for 10 years on the Greenwood Community Council. When I compare our skill sets, I've got really solid business skills. Mike does not. I always do my homework and I'm always prepared. I like to plan ahead. Mike's always winging it. He likes to flare up for drama, whereas I move steadily through things. I make a point of remembering people's names. He could never remember anyone's name. He was always late. He took credit for everything. You'll notice that a lot of his accomplishments were within about 100 feet of his house.

Washington vs. Arizona State Post-Game Quotes
February 6, 2010
Washingon Coach Lorenzo Romar
Opening Statement:
"We never look forward to playing against Arizona State. That's for sure. We have a lot of respect for their team, how they run their program, which makes me even more excited to watch us play at the efficient level of basketball we played tonight. Nineteen offensive rebounds is a pretty good night at the office. [We] turned the ball over 10 times against their zone. I thought we moved ball well and got good looks. Overall, I just think defensively we were dialed in, led by the captain of our defense, Justin Holiday. He was all over the place. He gets ten rebounds again in there. That's a really nice job."
On Holiday's defense:
"His arms just extend, there's always a threat that his arm is there. He doesn't let you get away. He's quick, he anticipates, he's smart, he's physically tougher than you think and it's just hard to get away from him."
On team defense:
"That made the difference. We defended much better this time than we did in Tempe."
On taking this effort on the road:
"At this point, that's water under the bridge. We've got to move on from here. I will say that I think even though we are playing at home we are playing our best basketball of the year."
On what was different this time against Arizona State:
"We did a great job defensively this time around with the addition of Justin Holiday, I think it made it so much easier on all of us to get our job done. We really wanted to take them off that 3-point line, which they are so good at, and make sure they had tough, contested shots each time. Our team did a tremendous job of buckling down on the defensive end and that was the difference today."
On scoring in the game:
"Our team did a great job of collectively scoring. We moved the ball really well and sometimes I was there like a decoy because we were up by so much. It made it so much easier on our guys. If teams are going to keep playing us like that, then we have to play like we did tonight by being unselfish and make open shots, and make shots period. We did a great job, Isaiah led it off in the scoring department and passing the ball. Everyone was highly aggressive against the zone."
On getting ready to play on the road again:
"We have a lot of momentum and I think we know what's at stake to be right up there at the top. That's something we've all wanted and won't count ourselves out. To be in the position that we are in right now to be back in it is fortunate because sometimes you lose a few and the season is over. We still have a good chance at winning the championship and that's our goal. We're the defending champions and we need to redeem ourselves.
On an emphasis on moving the ball around:
"I just focused on getting my teammates involved. My teammates got some shots and got open."
On the approach they wanted to take against Derek Glasser:
"We wanted to take him out of the game. He starts everything and if you can take a player like that off, then they have to go to the next guy. We did a great job on him and [Jamelle] McMillan. We let a couple of other key players get some points, but other than that we did a great job on their point guard."
On playing together as a team:
"We know that if we don't play as a team then we're not successful. It all starts with me and Quincy and we have to get others involved and get them confidence."
Arizona State Coach Herb Sendek:
Opening Statement:
"I think Washington really took it to us. They were very aggressive and I thought they played outstanding defense."
On the contrast from the game in Tempe:
"It was just two different games all the way around."
On getting down early:
"We had a hard time with their pressure and I thought the Washington guards were very dominant both defensively as well as offensively--getting the ball where it needed to go, they did a good job in transition. They just soundly beat us."

Football Succombs To Turnovers In 33-19 Loss At Ventura
Ventura College forced five Pasadena City College turnovers, two that produced instant touchdowns as the Pirates handed the Lancers a 33-19, SCFA non-conference, football defeat Saturday afternoon at the Ventura Sports Complex.
Pasadena, the region's No. 18-ranked squad. dropped to 2-3 in finishing its pre-National Southern Conference schedule. Ventura improved to 3-2.
The Lancers rallied from a 10-0 first-quarter deficit to take a 13-10 halftime lead thanks again to the passing of quarterback Cesar Hernandez. The southpaw throwing Hernandez found tight end Kwajo Bonsu in the back of the end zone for a 7-yard TD pass just 70 seconds into the second quarter. During that series, Hernandez extended it on a fake punt that resulted in a 29-yard completion to Aaron Simpson. Late in the period, Hernandez lofted a 59-yard touchdown bomb to wide receiver Jose Rodriguez to give PCC the lead.
With just under three minutes left in the third quarter, Ventura regained the advantage, 17-13, on a 13-yard scoring run by second-string quarterback Chase Smith. On the next series, Hernandez attempted a short screen pass to Bonsu, but P.J. Gramaud made a sensational interception and returned it 43 yards for a Pirates' touchdown. Late in the first quarter, Ventura's special teams produced a 14-yard fumble return for a TD by Antoine McGuire after Simpson had the ball jarred loose on a punt return following a hit by Jamie Holloway.
The Lancers refused to quit, answering with a nifty 15-yard TD scamper by Hernandez with 12:11 left in the game. Despite a missed 2-point conversion pass, PCC had cut the lead to 24-19. However, another turnover on Hernandez's fourth interception helped set up a 3-yard TD run by Ventura's Victor Caro that put the game away with 6:09 remaining.
Overall, Hernandez completed 28 of 45 passes for 366 yards, giving him an impressive 811 yards over the last two games. Wide receiver Wayne Peters made nine catches for 94 yards as Hernandez connected on passes to seven different ball-catchers.
PCC outgained Ventura in total yards, 378-294.
The Lancers' defense was paced by defensive back Jarron Williams with nine tackles and a pass break-up, and eight tackles each by DB Antoine Morris and sophomore linebacker Grant Haggard. Linebacker Dean Bisterfeldt added five tackles and a 13-yard sack while defensive back/returner Simpson contributed an interception and five tackles. Lineman Allen Dixon knocked down three passes and Mike Sepulveda recovered a fumble.
After taking next week off for its season bye, PCC opens NSC play in two weeks when it hosts Fullerton College on Saturday, October 15. Kickoff is 6 p.m. at Robinson Stadium.
PCC Football's 5-game, midway mark statistical leaders:
Passing--Hernandez, 102-176, six interceptions, 1,334 yards, 11 TD

For over 10 years, we have seen Luigi make mere appearances in Mario games and other Mushroom Kingdom based adventures, however Luigi hasn't ventured out on his own since the days of the original Luigi's Mansion. Still, 10 years later, Nintendo have finally given Luigi's Mansion the sequel it truly deserves.
Anyone who played the original Luigi's Mansion all those years ago, will be quite familiar with the premise here. You play Luigi, the little green dude, known solely because of his brother, Mario. As before, Luigi is tasked with taking on various ghosts and bringing them back to the guy we love to hate, Professor E. Gadd. We really can't work out if that guy is clinically insane or just has a strange sense of humor?
The game sees Professor E. Gadd teleport Luigi to various mansions, of which there are five in total. We were very impressed that Luigi's Mansion 2 now allows players to travel to a few mansions, compared to the single mansion offered in the original. In these mansions, you as Luigi must find certain keys to work your way further into the mansion. There's also a wide variety of puzzles on offer as you travel through the mansion.
Everything is controlled from Gadd's bunker. Here you may choose the mansion you wish to travel to and the mission you wish to complete. These missions will take typically 15 - 30 minutes to complete each and include a large number of puzzles to tackle.
We loved how Gadd is able to keep in touch with Luigi through a special device that he calls the 'DS'. Yes, you have heard that before! This device is essentially an original DS console that Gadd can use to telephone call the player. The ringtone for this device by the way, is absolutely gorgeous.
Onto more gadgetry, an opening mission will see you looking for Professor E. Gadd's famous (strangely though, we've never heard of it before) Poltergust 5000. This is essentially a heavily modified hoover. It allows you to stun ghosts and then suck them up, so to speak. The physics used for 'ghost sucking' are absolutely amazing, we found.
The control system in Luigi's Mansion 2 is absolutely water tight. The circle pad can be used to control Luigi, naturally. Whilst the L and R buttons are used to operate your Poltergust 5000 and the A button can be used to use the light zapper on the device. Furthermore, we loved the way that the D-Pad can be used the make Luigi carry out small gestures, that was a cute little addition. However, we should also mention that the X button is used to interact with items. Phew.
In terms of the game's plot, it's quite a simple one, however, it's still very inventive. Luigi has been summoned by Professor E. Gadd to help restore pieces of the Dark Moon, that appears to be missing. Hence, where the North American version gets it's name.
Ghosts play a big part in Luigi's Mansion 2, which we didn't really need to say. There's a large variety of them available to find throughout the mansions, and what makes it better is that you are able to collect these ghosts, so to speak. All the data from the ghosts you encounter will be sent back to Gadd, who will keep it in a handy place for you to head back and look at.
Luigi's Mansion 2 is absolutely full of lovely little aesthetic touches. We love how you can wander up to a window and peer through and then use Gyro controls to look around. We also love how the game gives you the ability to interact with your environment greatly and find hidden little items, which you can view from the bunker.
The graphics throughout Luigi's Mansion 2 are chunky and gorgeous, they're everything we loved about the original graphics of Luigi's Mansion, but they just feel a little more filled out if we're honest. In terms of graphics, it really feels like Nintendo have really gone that extra mile to include great detail and no corners were cut here.
After completing a set amount of the main storyline, players will be given the opportunity to unlock a special multiplayer mode. Multiplayer takes place through four modes, which include: Hunter, Rush, Polterpup and Surprise. From what we tried, they all worked well and were quite a pleasure to play. However, what we loved most is that Nintendo have added functionality for the game to be played by both local and online multiplayer through Nintendo Network.
It really would be wrong to let this review go by without mentioning the gorgeous sounds and music of Luigi's Mansion 2. Everything about this game sounds beautiful. We could quite happily shut our eyes and listen to someone else playing this for ours. As aforementioned, everything from the DS' ringtone to the ghostly sound effects are gorgeous.
In conclusion, it's been over 10 years since we last saw a Luigi's Mansion game and we can easily say that every minutes wait has been completely worth it. Luigi's Mansion 2 compiles together what we loved about the first game, with an absolute sense of perfection that isn't even present in most Mario games. We can only convey how much we love this game, through the below score. + Josh Moorcroft-Jones
10/10 - Mario games are well and truly a thing of the past. What Luigi's latest solo adventure is able to offer, is an awful lot better than a Mario adventure can.
Review copy provided by Nintendo
Luigi's Mansion 2 is also known as Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon in North America.

At age 25, Laura Sanko was a founding member of a startup that raised $3.5 Million from some world-famous investors and the Founder's Fund. The business model was simple: a website that rented high-end jewelry for special occasions for a fraction of the retail value of each piece. Three years later, the investment money was all gone and while the site continued to operate, it had failed to meet the investors' expectations. I sat down with Laura to figure out what went wrong.

Their business model was to eventually white label the product and sell it to large apartment buildings and others who wanted to facilitate a borrowing community.

To the editor: As most people now know, our nation is in serious trouble. It started many years ago when the international bankers got control of our money.
One of the big bankers, Rothchild, stated: "Give me control of a nation's money, and I don't care who the King is." In other words, he would control the nation's leaders.
This has been going on since 1913 when the so-called Federal Reserve was established. The international bankers create wars so they can finance both sides at a large rate of interest.
To the editor: April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. In 2009, Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina celebrates 30 years of working to make our state a better place for children and families.
North Carolina is a much bigger, diverse and more populous place than it was when PCANC started this work. North Carolina has 40 percent more children than it did 30 years ago.
This is our most vulnerable population, but also one that offers us great hope. These children are our future workers, teachers, voters, professionals and parents.
To the editor: We are writing this letter in an attempt to raise the awareness of the toxicity of the oleander plant and hopefully prevent a recurrence of our misfortune.
On March 13, we lost our beloved West Highland terrier, Murphy, and the cause of death was the ingestion of oleander
leaves. Since his death, we have spent a great deal of time on the Internet researching information on this beautiful and prevalent plant on our island.

It was pretty silly, really, when Bubba Joe, my old high school buddy living in Illinois, invited me to become one of his friends on Facebook.
I'm too old for this, I thought. I don't have any decent, recent photographs to post. None of my friends are young enough to be on there—are they? And what exactly is Facebook?
Calabash commissioners, if your board remains as divided as it has appeared to be in the last couple of weeks, town business is going to go nowhere fast.
At a recent meeting, three of you removed yourselves from your seats and moved into the audience, trying to prove the point you wouldn't be part of a discussion in which you were in disagreement.
In these difficult economic times, Brunswick County resource agencies continue to see a growing number of people needing help.
From assistance with rent and mortgages, to help getting food and clothes, many nonprofits and area churches are feeling a crunch.
Instead of focusing on just band-aiding these difficult situations, many involved in community outreach want to do more—they want to examine the depth of poverty here and figure out long-term solutions to some of the issues that have plagued Brunswick County for generations.
President Ronald Reagan was a great proponent of supply-side economics. He believed in major tax breaks for businesses and corporations; believing businesses and corporate executives would objectively share the company's profits with employees with little or no oversight.
On paper, supply-side economics is a great concept. It would be the ideal business model in a fair and just world. The problem is human nature. Greed and self-centered goals and objectives caused numerous executives to unfairly enrich themselves at the expense of hard-working investors or employees.
"In due time." Oak Island Town Attorney Brian Edes wrote in an e-mail to Colin Tarrant, the attorney representing Brian Keese in a public records lawsuit, that he or Oak Island Town Administrator Jerry Walters would respond to a request for public records "in due time."
A year and a half later, this matter remains unresolved. With a June 29 trial date set, the case could drag on for months.

I'm working on a new project with a sizeable PHP codebase. The application uses quite a few PHP constants (
define('FOO', 'bar') ), particularly for things like database connection parameters. These constants are all defined in a single configuration file that is
require_once()'d directly by basically every class in the application.
A few years ago this would have made perfect sense, but since then I've gotten the Unit Testing bug and this tight coupling between classes is really bothering me. These constants smell like global variables, and they're referenced directly throughout the application code.
Is this still a good idea? Would it be reasonable to copy these values into an object and use this object (i.e. a Bean - there, I said it) to convey them via dependency injection to the the classes that interact with the database? Am I defeating any of the benefits of PHP constants (say speed or something) by doing this?
Another approach I'm considering would be be to create a separate configuration PHP script for testing. I'll still need to figure a way to get the classes under test to use the sandbox configuration script instead of the global configuration script. This still feels brittle, but it might require less outright modification to the entire application.

On the tournament itself
"It's exciting this time of year to do something a little different. We had a longer travel day, we're in a different environment and these teams are teams that we wouldn't ordinarily see. We're going to the Grand Canyon today and I think that'll be fun for the team, and we'll come back and play some teams that will challenge us in different ways."
On playing at 6,000 feet altitude
"I think it'll definitely affect us and this will be one of those times where depth is really important. We've been able to use a lot of different players, which is something that we hope will be a positive for us. It's all adversity. Going against different teams in different environments in different circumstances prepares you for the rest of the season. That's why you want to travel. We're excited and I think it's going to be a fun tournament."
On this weekend's games being the third and fourth of a four-game road swing
"You need to be good on the road. We've talked a lot about the conference tournament where you play in different venues, you don't know who your opponents are, you don't know if you're home or away, all of this prepares you for those kind of things and hopefully you're playing for the NCAA Tournament at the end. All of it is adjustments and being able to adjust."
On Tulane having a tough time in tournament openers in recent years
"We're a pretty good program so we're not matched up against the home team. In the last few years, we haven't ever been matched up with the home team so they're going to match the two better teams against each other in the early rounds. Sometimes in these tournaments our biggest challenge is the first round. That's one thing that you get by going on the road like this - you get a neutral game against a pretty good team. If you win that one, the next one might be easier."
On what she wants to see from her team during the weekend
"We have made progression from Louisiana Tech to Southern. We've gotten better. Offensively, we've gotten into a rhythm. Defensively, we've gained some momentum. That's what you want. You want each game to build on the others. So far, we've done that and we want to do that here. The officiating might be different here, there are a lot of things that might be different but we need to adjust. We've got a huge game against Auburn going back (home) so hopefully we're a better team playing Auburn than we were when we left New Orleans."
On if she plans to tinker with the line-up at all during the Thanksgiving Tournament
"I think we'll start with the same group, but we do hope to see Whitney Bibbins for the first time in a year. We've excited about that and that will be just another piece of the puzzle that we're trying to put together. She gives us a different dimension defensively, she's obviously a great rebounder and can score. It'll be exciting to see her play again."
On how her team has been gelling since the start of preseason practice
"I think that's a challenge for us. We knew going into the season that we had a lot of pieces. It's putting it all together that can be tough and I think we're starting to do that. I felt more comfortable at Southern with it than I did with Louisiana Tech and we're just building on it. This isn't an easy thing. If you have five players, you know the five players that are going to play and you just have to work with them. We're not in that position. If we can do it right, I think it's going to be a real asset for us when we get later in the season."

Enhanced for Bible Study using the Resource Guide
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows Desktop and Windows Store.
Tobit is the story of a righteous, devout, and charitable man who—blind and miserable—sends his son, Tobiah, to collect on an old loan. To test his faith, an angel joins Tobiah on his journey, and in the end Tobiah returns with the money, a beautiful bride, and a miraculous cure for his father's affliction. Tobit's story touches us precisely because it tells the tale of simple, hardworking everyday folk, who try, despite seemingly insurmountable dangers and difficulties, to be faithful and do good.
Scripture scholar Carey A. Moore's crisp and insightful translation and commentary bring Tobit's tale of justice and righteousness to life. Everybody can relate to these characters. As the commentator himself confesses, "I can honestly say that I really like and admire them. I 'feel at home' with them."
In the prestigious tradition of the Anchor Bible, Moore relates the latest in biblical scholarship through down-to-earth comments that touch the lives of general readers. This is a groundbreaking commentary, the first ever to utilize the Tobit texts from Qumran. Drawing upon a thorough analysis of the book's grammar and philology, literary forms and context, religious and social situation, and historical context, Moore offers the most informed and up-to-date commentary available on Tobit. This is truly an indispensable companion to anyone interested in Tobit and the Bible.
Carey A. Moore is Amanda Rupert Strong Professor of Religion at Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where he lives. Tobit is his fourth commentary in the Anchor Bible series; other volumes include Esther (7B), Judith (40), and Daniel, Esther, and Jeremiah: the Additions (44).
THE ANCHOR YALE BIBLE COMMENTARY SERIES is a project of international and interfaith scope in which Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish scholars from many countries contribute individual volumes. The project is not sponsored by any ecclesiastical organization and is not intended to reflect any particular theological doctrine.
The Anchor Yale Bible is committed to producing commentaries in the tradition established half a century ago by the founders of the series, William Foxwell Albright and David Noel Freedman. It aims to present the best contemporary scholarship in a way that is accessible not only to scholars but also to the educated nonspecialist. Its approach is grounded in exact translation of the ancient languages and an appreciation of the historical and cultural context in which the biblical books were written supplemented by insights from modern methods, such as sociological and literary criticism.

The Board of Directors of Abington Art Center is pleased to announce that Betsy Kilkenny has been named Executive Director. Ms. Kilkenny will lead the organization in its efforts to create arts and cultural offerings for the community. Kilkenny is a seasoned arts executive who has provided leadership and development skills for nonprofit organizations for more than ten years. She takes on the Executive Director position with extensive experience in the development and management of Abington Art Center, having served as Director of Development for the past five years.
Ms. Kilkenny is succeeding Laura Burnham who is stepping down after 25 years of heading the active nonprofit, which offers four indoor galleries, year-round educational programming and classes, a 27-acre Sculpture Park and community space for artists and families. Since its founding in 1939, Abington Art Center, has become one of Abington's cultural gems.
Ms. Kilkenny joined the staff in 2007. In her prior position she was the Director of Major and Corporate Gifts at the Kimmel Center where she worked to secure the remaining funds needed to complete the $75 million Endowment Campaign. Prior to this, she also served as the Executive Director for the Montgomery County Democratic Party where she worked on organizational fundraising, building the party's infrastructure and campaign management.
In her role at the Art Center, Ms. Kilkenny has worked on the completion of the Capital Campaign, and is currently focused on the cultivation and stewardship of major donors, grants management, the enhancement of the membership program, the development of the Advisory Committee and strengthening corporate and community relations.
Kilkenny received a B.A. in Philosophy and Marketing from Dickinson College, recently completed her Masters in Public Administration at Villanova University and is a member of the Jenkintown Planning Commission. She lives in Jenkintown with her husband and daughter.
A search committee consisting of experienced professionals was formed by the Board to find the new Executive Director. According to Jill Schuman, Board Chair, Ms. Kilkenny is an excellent choice to guide the Art Center for the next 25 years. "Betsy has helped strengthen and secure the financial health of the Abington Art Center and has contributed in innumerable ways to the growth of the organization. In her new role as Executive Director, she will build upon the solid foundation that has been created by Laura's commitment and vision, and work towards strengthening the organization and enriching the creative lives of those who live in our community and beyond."
Since last spring Abington Art Center has worked on an in-depth strategic plan, sponsored by the William Penn Foundation, to enable us to proactively engage diverse audiences, introduce new arts and cultural offerings, enhance facilities, address capitalization needs and plan for our upcoming 75th anniversary in 2014. Betsy is looking forward "to collaborating with staff, faculty and audiences from throughout the region to make Abington Art Center a premier destination for one-of-a-kind, inspiring and enriching arts experiences."

The questionable inner-workings of early Death Row Records politics and the blossoming of the label's artists often come hand-in-hand. Former label head Suge Knight's name in general tends to lead to debate especially regarding the way he ran the label.
In a recent interview with 2Pac Forum Channel, former Death Row Chief Engineer Rick Clifford talked about Suge Knight's personality and says he's not what many portray him as.
"Suge's not a bad person," Clifford said when Suge Knight was brought up. "He loves music. The only problem Suge had is if you mess with one of his artists and then he would go beyond the call of duty about his record company and his artists."
Rick Clifford also talked about why he believes Dr. Dre left Death Row Records and says it was because the producer lost creative control of the record label.
"When [Dr.] Dre left, that caused a lot of confusion," Clifford said. "Dre left due to the fact that he thought, the only reason Dre left 'cause he thought he lost creative control."
When asked whether Dr. Dre left Death Row because of Tupac, Clifford responded saying those rumors are false.
"That's not true at all," he says. "Here's what happened. We were mixing 'California Love.' Dre usually mixes something in four or six hours, then he'd leave and come back. I talked to him saying, 'Why don't we leave 'cause we have to do the regular version and remix version.' So I told Dre, 'Why don't we block out the studio for the whole weekend?' He goes, 'Hey I always heard about that. I never did it.' I go, 'Well dude, this is your studio.'
"So I put the tape on the board for him and we was all excited 'cause nobody could touch it so," Clifford continues. "Next day we're working on 'California Love' and these guys come in and they're walking in the studio and they're like all excited. They're hugging Dre and giving us handshakes and saying, 'We're glad to be on the same label with you.' So, they leave and Dre got this strange look on his face and I go like, 'What's wrong man?' and he looks around and nobody's in the room with me. Dre and the assistant and stops the tape and he goes, 'Big Rick, I don't know how, the way this is supposed to be set up, Suge's supposed to take care of the business and I'm supposed to be taking care of the creative and nobody's supposed to sign to this company unless I hear them first. I'm trying to keep a certain quality and integrity to our company. Now Suge's just signing people, not checking with me. They signing people now.' About a week later, he was gone."
Dr. Dre left Death Row Records in 1996, four years after signing with the label. Dre and Tupac collaborated on "California Love" after Pac signed with Death Row in 1995. It was the last single Dr. Dre would produce before leaving the label in early 1996.

Former heavyweight boxing champion Riddick Bowe isn't happy with the Toronto Maple Leafs and their recent struggles. Yes, you heard that correctly.
Bowe is a native of Brooklyn, N.Y., but has been a diehard Leafs fan for decades and on Thursday he called out Leafs coach Randy Carlyle on Twitter.
If the @MapleLeafs lose tomorrow im going to knock out Randy Carlyle. One punch between the eyes #TMLtalk #Leafs #LeafsNation #BoweLeafsBowe
— Riddick Bowe (@riddickbowe) March 27, 2014
If you visit Bowe's Twitter page, which features a Maple Leafs logo in the background, you'll soon come to realize the passionate pugilist, who owns a home in Toronto, spends much of his tweeting about the team. He even frequently uses the hashtag #BoweLeafsBowe.
@riddickbowe sure hope so. #BoweLeafsBowe
— Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) March 27, 2014
@MapleLeafs Alright partner. Got me a home in Rosedale. If the leafs make it ill be at game 1. Thats whats up.
— Riddick Bowe (@riddickbowe) March 27, 2014
@riddickbowe sounds good champ.
— Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) March 27, 2014
Like most Leafs fans, Bowe isn't afraid to share his opinions about the team. According to his timeline, he is a big fan of Phil Kessel and says the team needs to cut captain Dion Phaneuf.
My football team is @Everton my hockey team is @MapleLeafs Ive had a home in Toronto for 20 years. They are both the boys in blue. Bowe
— Riddick Bowe (@riddickbowe) March 5, 2014
If u ask how ima #leafs fan? I got a home in Toronto for 20 yrs. My heart still hurts of the bitch refs no call on Gretzkys high stick in 93
— Riddick Bowe (@riddickbowe) March 26, 2014
The Leafs are in a tight battle for the final two playoff spots in the East and must go on a hot streak in their remaining eight games if they wish to qualify for the post-season for a second straight year. A loss to the St. Louis Blues earlier this week didn't help the Leafs' cause… and it really upset Bowe.
If the @MapleLeafs dont step up tonight there goes ther season. THats whats up. #TMLtalk #bowetalks
— Riddick Bowe (@riddickbowe) March 25, 2014
How on earth are the leafs down 3-1. Man this season is over. #HateMyLife #TMLtalk #LeafsNation #Leafs
— Riddick Bowe (@riddickbowe) March 26, 2014
Can the leafs win tonight? They break my heart every year #Leafs #LeafsNation #TMLtalk
— Riddick Bowe (@riddickbowe) March 26, 2014
The 46-year-old retired from pro boxing in 2008 with a record of 43-1, 1 NC. Bowe held the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles during his career and had two wins over Evander Holyfield.
The Leafs will look to avoid a seventh consecutive loss as they visit the Philadelphia Flyers Friday on Sportsnet Ontario with coverage starting at 7 p.m. EST.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - The Arkansas State Dental Association responds after a local dentist is accused of possibly infecting his patients.
The dentist in the case is the late Dr. William Jarrod Stewart. It's believed the drugs he was using for IV sedation were tampered with somehow. Officials say the patients potentially affected received it from November 20, 2011 to February 20, 2012.
The Arkansas Department of Health is asking 84 patients state-wide to get a blood test.
The Association released a statement Wednesday saying:
Earlier today, the Arkansas Department of Health announced its effort to contact about 100 patients of a dentist who may have violated infection control procedures during dental surgery involving intravenous (I.V.) sedation. The procedures were performed at dental offices in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Hot Springs and Jonesboro during a three-month period between November 2011 and February 2012. The Arkansas State Dental Association is closely monitoring the situation.
The rules and regulations that govern the practice of dentistry dictate that all dental offices adhere to standard precautions as established by the CDC, including those for intravenous (IV) sedation. Adherence to infection control procedures ensures a safe and sanitary environment for patients in dental offices and creates a safe working environment for dentists and their teams.
Dentists in Arkansas have an excellent record of providing safe and sanitary environments for their patients. Incidents as the ones described in the Health Department press release represent an extreme departure from normal sedation techniques and do not reflect the typical way sedation techniques are administered in Arkansas.
Patients are always encouraged to visit with their dentist about infection control procedures that are utilized in their office. The dental professionals of Arkansas are typically pleased to describe their procedures for keeping patients safe and healthy while undergoing dental treatment.
The clinics include four Ocean Dental sites in Little Rock, Hot Springs, Fayetteville and Jonesboro and Bevans Pediatric Dentistry in Little Rock.

Abrams is on the ballot next year. So is Commissioner Priscilla Taylor, who supported the $4.34 rate. Commissioner Jess Santamaria, another supporter of the rate hike, is up for reelection next year but hasn't announced whether he'll run.
Question: Will the tax vote matter in any of the 2010 races?

When Ninja Theory's take on the Devil May Cry series first debuted, it hit the internet like the least popular kid showing up at a party. The shock and disbelief of an "Emo" Dante slowly drifted away after we got our hands on the demo and realized that this is the Dante we've grown to love over the years.
Those anticipating to pick up DmC Devil May Cry this week may want to place their order on Best Buy's website. An online only promotion will allow you to pick up Capcom's Resident Evil 6 for $9.99 with the purchase of DmC Devil May Cry for either the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. Capcom's latest entry into the Resident Evil franchise was met with mixed reviews from critics and fans of the series (click here to see our reaction), but for $10 we are sure you will be able to look past its flaws.

I recommend browsing a little through the Reports Documentation. Look it up on otn.oracle.com or perhaps you even have a printed manual somewhere on the shelve. I had a hard time learning Reports 2.5 on the job and only the manuals brought me the right understanding. http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/reports.html http://otn.oracle.com/documentation/ids.html In general, maintaining any Oracle application in a/the proper way is not an easy task - you might want to tell your employer. Good luck,
