Life After NMU -- Alumni Blog
College may seem like what happens after high school, but it's also what happens at the beginning of a career. Northern alumni share their stories in a monthly series of blogs. Click here to view previous alumni bloggers.
Danielle Hernandez
Mayo College of Medicine, Graduate Student in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Rochester, Minnesota
Graduated from NMU in May 2010
Bachelor of Science Degree
Premedical Program and Education Program
Biology and Integrated Science Double Major
Chemistry Minor
Personal Statement
How did you decide on your major/minor?
I decided upon my major and minor based on the program I was interested in most, as well as my personal interest. During the pre-medical program and while I was preparing for my MCAT, I had a revelation about why I wanted to be in medicine and what specialty I wanted to partake in. I realized that I wasn't finding as much enjoyment in studying consistently for tests and not impacting peoples lives earlier with my skills and knowledge. I turned to professors and mentors, who suggested I consider the profession of education, as I had already being co-teaching at NMU, tutoring at NMU, volunteering to teach swimming for at-risk youth, etc. I became a member of the education program, and while taking required classes I continued to advance my scientific knowledge in other fields and attained a second major in integrated science (which helped me later achieve an additional teaching certification).
Does a degree from NMU compare equally to a degree from other schools?
I firmly believe your degree is what you make it! NMU may not be a Big Ten school, a noted research facility, or have extremely competitive acceptance guidelines, but it provides a diverse place to learn with people from around the world achieving different goals, small to moderate class sizes where you are not just a number, professors are accessible and appreciate being sought out for help, significant extracurricular opportunities for clinical rotations, access to technology, volunteering, research, leadership, multicultural experiences, and more. I had previously attended the University of Minnesota and University of Saint Thomas gaining experience at a large Big Ten school and a small private school, and I am always happy I chose NMU because it provided me the experience of a lifetime and prepared me for my future.
Do you have any advice on what's important to keep in mind when choosing a university?
When choosing a university, I would recommend considering these topics and questions:
- Location: Is it close to family if something were to happen? Is if far enough from family so they are not visiting every day? Does is provide additional activities specific to the area? Is it someplace new for a fresh start? Know what is most important about location for you.
- University Atmosphere: Are people helpful on campus? Are there activities to meet to people? Is it safe? Do you feel comfortable? Is it connected to nature or an urban retreat? Are there additional programs to become involved in to help you stand out academically (like Superior Edge, SLFP, etc.)? Is it the right size campus /population for your needs? Know the atmosphere you would like to spend the next few years.
- Finance: Will you be able to graduate and not be swamped with loans? Will you have the ability/access to work on or off campus? Are there scholarships available to you? Will you begin to gain your financial independence (gain credit, responsible use of credit cards and checking accounts) while attending college?
Did you end up working in the field of your major/minor? If not, did not majoring in your professional field hinder you in any way?
I did end up in my field of study in two ways. First I did use my teaching certificates to provide me a year of being a fulltime 6-12 grade science teacher. Second, I decided I needed to be involved in cutting-edge science like I was during undergrad, and am now attending Mayo Graduate School to achieve my PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology so I can use my scientific knowledge, as well as help change the lives of patients indirectly to help make new discoveries to improve treatments and patient care. In the even further future I may be teaching again, but this time as a professor.
Part 2
How did you get into your professional field?
I became part of my professional program by taking advantage of opportunities throughout my life while I was achieving my Bachelor of Science degree. Not only did I complete my degree program and pass my teaching certification exams, and teach for a year. I participated in additional learning opportunities across the United States and internationally. Such as:
- Summer Medical and Dental Program (SMDEP) at Columbia Medical School, premedical preparatory program
- Conducting biochemical research in West Africa in a International Research Experience for Undergraduates (IREU), through the National Science Foundation (NSF)
- Conducting genetic research at NMU with the help of my molecular biology professor, Dr. Alec Lindsay
- Leading and contributing to the Biological Honors Society (Tri-Beta), volunteering and bringing notable speakers/researchers like Sean Carroll to NMU
- Completing all four tracks of the Superior Edge
- Co-teaching and assistant teaching with the First Year Experience program (FYE)
- Joining the International Dance and Ballroom Dance organizations
- Teaching backpacking for youth in Colorado
- Participating in clinical shadowing at Marquette General Hospital (MGH) and local clinics
- Tutoring with the All Campus Tutoring Program (ACT)
These are some of the activities I took part in, which helped me become a well-rounded individual with diverse experiences that employers and schools look for. These experiences also helped me decide what pathway best suited me best.
What skills are needed to do what you do?
Skills I utilize while attaining my PhD: networking, time management, leadership, technical writing, reading high volumes of material, following research protocol, empathy for patients, communicating with diverse groups of people, continuously learning new things.
What do you like/dislike about your job?
I enjoy learning and conducting cutting-edge scientific research at a world-renowned facility for clinical and scientific advancement. I enjoy being in a community that values leading, the environment, patients and learning for the sake of understanding science to make changes in the world to help others. I am always challenged and working with new people from all parts of the globe. I am able to be close to my family and continue to be an active member of society and enjoy life while not being bogged down with work or stress 24/7/365.
What advice would you give me, as a student, to help me get the same type of job as you have?
If you were interested in getting your PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology, or any science for that matter, I would suggest:
- Get a strong foundation in science courses
- Join a lab or have 2 different lab experiences with different mentors
- Work with team members (in club, study groups, join a journal club where you analyze recently published materials, etc.) to develop leadership skills and be able to be a positive and contributing team member
- Gain diverse experiences where you travel nationally or internationally to learn about another culture, pace of life and people
- Stay in touch with professors, advisors, colleagues, and reach out to them for ideas, advice, support – and provide that in return as well
Part 3
When you tell people that you graduated from (or are attending) NMU, did they know anything about Northern?
Very, very few people I work with or have met know about Northern. This I think comes from not really knowing much about Michigan, let alone, where the Upper Peninsula is (since I am from Minnesota). I find myself using my hands to demonstrate the UP and LP of Michigan to explain where I have spent the last few years of my life. Many people are eager to know what brought me to NMU and how my experience was.
If you had to pick a college again, would you pick Northern? Why or why not?
There is no doubt in my mind that I would most certainly pick Northern again! I achieved all I had planned and more at NMU. I was given extensive support and guidance, which I still have today, from faculty and alumni. I made lasting relationships and extensive memories that I share with people to this day. In addition to achieving my B.S. degree and graduating with honors.
What is your best college memory and why?
This is the most difficult question, because there is not one memory that is the best, because there are so many different ones! However, one of my first memories at NMU was coming to orientation and being worried about getting a roommate that didn't clash with my style of living. I was fortunate to have met another first-year student with the same worry. Having instantly decided we didn't want to be placed with an unknown roommate, we immediately decided we would be roommates. Me, a city girl, and her, a country girl, who are to this day great friends and could never have asked for such a great roommate for the first few years of college. We have shared many great times together and look forward to many more. When we graduated and move states apart, we still keep in touch and refer to each other as, Velcro 1 and Velcro 2; no matter how far apart our bond and friendship will never change, nor be forgotten.
If you had to do college over again, what would you make sure you did the same and what would you do differently?
I would be sure not to overwhelm myself my first year, no matter what anyone suggested I could handle. There are too many new experiences and life changes that happen during the first year.
What were the best decisions you made regarding college, your professional career, life in general?
My Best Decisions in:
College: Not being afraid to take risks with support, try new things, and challenge myself
Graduate School: Apply to your dream schools; the worst they can say is "no thanks."
Life: Family and friends are our foundation and the people who keep us going. Never forget where you came from and to stay involved whether you are near or far.
Part 4
Tell us the story of how you decided to go to NMU.
I decided to come to NMU after doing a search at my high school career center about schools in a fairly close radius, with moderate size campuses, and successful premedical programs. I investigated each school, but I had a good gut feeling about NMU from the start. I insisted I visit campus with my family even though they were very much wondering why Michigan? Once we arrived, we all immediately knew it was the perfect place for me, with numerous opportunities, in the heart of nature, close to Lake Superior, not too far from home, with many nice people and successful programs.
It was hook, line, and sinker, as well as, comfort in knowing I would be attending a school that fit a variety of my needs and interests.
Was there a faculty member who made a particular impact on your time at NMU or later?
There are several faculty members in biology, chemistry, and education departs who made and continue to have an extensive impact on my success! I am very fortunate to have so many people willing to help me throughout my time at NMU and as colleagues now. Of everyone, the person I have known the longest, who always helps me achieve my dreams no matter the obstacles, is Ms. Shirley Brozzo. Shirley is the associate director of the Multicultural Education and Resource Center and adjunct assistant professor in Center for Native American Studies. She has the most open mind and open heart!
What internships or student jobs did you have with NMU and how did they shape your career?
I shared many of these above in another question. =)
Where did you live while attending NMU? Do you have a story about a roommate or a housemate?
I never would have thought I would have moved so many times in my life, until I moved to NMU. Having lived in the dorms, on-campus apartments, in several off campus apartments / houses with various roommates or friends, and finally on my own; in total I have moved 12 different times. Too many, right… and that doesn't even include short-term stays of 2 month internships, etc. – that would bring me to 15.
I learned a lot about my living needs during different stages in my life where I had been involved in varying activities, which has helped me feel comfortable seeking housing now, on my own, independent from family and school.When I was in undergrad, it was nice to share experiences with others who were in similar situations. Learning and trying new things together, it was a safety net and it made life that much easier during the first few years.
I value coming home to friends and family, in a relaxed atmosphere, outside of my work environment when I was teaching full time. I separated myself from work every evening, which really helped me be eager to get to school each day.Now, I know when picking new place how much I value particular aspects of living.
When describing NMU to people who aren't familiar, what do you say?
I usually say: I attended school at NMU, in the heart of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, right on Lake Superior. The campus and town is surrounded by nature with places to get outside for a hike, bike, run, ski, swim, camp and much more. It may be a conservative place historically, but the university and hospital have brought new insight and liberality to life, with so many people from unique backgrounds and experiences sharing their wealth of knowledge. It was the perfect size, atmosphere, and culture for my undergraduate degree, and I am very fortunate to have attended NMU.

A Scientist Addresses Science Education with Leon Lederman
Date: 2/15/2010; 58 minutes
Nobel Laureate physicist Leon Lederman takes a hard look at science education. The crisis in science education (pre-K--14) has been widely recognized at least since the report "A Nation at Risk" was published in 1983. This report accompanies a huge number of later reports all read and appreciated but never implemented. There is good reason for new optimism, but the persistent failure to implement the well understood cures must be understood before we can capitalize on the accumulating wisdom. (#17596)

During his anti-war days (I'm referring to the Vietnam war, not the subsequent ones he has opposed to one extent or another) John Kerry was fond of asking how our government could ask someone to be the last man to die for a mistake. The Currency Lad hopes that this week the American people will ask John Kerry to be the last man to "die" for a mistake. The mistake in question is the 1960s or, more specifically, "the fraudulent hybrid of moral relativism and civilisational self-loathing ignited in that era."

Welcome to the Crouch Clinic! Our weight loss plan is a medically supervised weight loss program based on principles developed over the past 43 years. Many weight loss plans focus on short term weight loss that compromises your health. Our program is designed to help you make the permanent lifestyle changes needed to achieve long term weight loss and improve health.
Success at controlling your weight requires both education and motivation. You have to know what lifestyle changes
are necessary for good health, and you have to be motivated to make those changes.
Our goal is to teach you how to make educated choices about the foods you eat and lifestyle changes that promote healthy weight loss and decrease medical problems.
We also want to motivate you to make changes that you can live with for the rest of your life. Temporary lifestyle changes result in temporary weight loss. Permanent lifestyle changes are
needed to achieve permanent weight loss.
If diets and exercise alone have left you disappointed, you need a weight loss doctor to help you take control of your weight and improve your health. Dr. Crouch and his staff are ready to help. We are located in the Central Texas town of Hamilton. For more information or to schedule your appointment, call the Crouch Clinic at 254-386-8149.

In Europe, Finland is developing an underground characterisation facility at Olkiluoto, known as the ONKALO, which has now reached a depth of about 320m. If ONKALO confirms that the site meets all the safety case criteria for the development of a repository, a facility will be developed at the site with a planned commencement of disposal operations around 2020.

FEMA estimates don't add up
At the Moose Lake City Council meeting on Wednesday, March 13, Tom Paull, Moose Lake Police Department Flood Manager, reported that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimates for the city's flood damage is $500,000 less than Moose Lake losses.
In review of sites significantly damaged by the flood, Paull described significant differences. One example is that FEMA estimates the losses at the campground to be $34,000. The estimates for the electrical repairs come to approximately $180,000. It appears that FEMA estimates of the scope of work will need to be readdressed. No work can be started until there is agreement on the realistic scope of service between the city and FEMA.
The Moosehead Lake fishing pier is being considered a total loss by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The pier will be replaced with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance. Like the old pier, the new one will meet handicap accessible standards.
The council readdressed the issue of DNR Mitigation Funds available to the five homeowners who applied for funds. The council reversed their previous decision and will support mitigations funds for both the three homesteaded properties and two properties that are not homesteaded. The loss of these homes from the tax rolls represents about $3,348 in tax income. Mayor Ted Shaw informed the council, according to the county appraiser, there are 21 properties in Moose Lake that have suffered serious flood damage and are currently unoccupied. They either did not qualify for DNR Mitigation Funds or the owners did not apply for it. Mayor Shaw is concerned they may cease to be inhabited. If this happens, this would amount to a serious loss of tax income for the city.
Other business
The search for a new city administrator is in process. There were 57 applications for the position. The council members have narrowed the number to five finalists who seem most suitable for the city of Moose Lake. The interviews for the five candidates will be held on March 23 beginning at 9 a.m. in the Council Chambers. March 25 has been selected as an alternate and for city discussion if needed. These are public meetings. At the end of the interviews the council will determine if second interviews are needed. If so, they will be held on April 3 at 5 p.m.
A Moose Lake 2.0 Committee is being formed to study city needs which must be addressed. The committee will have representatives from various groups: politicians, governmental employees, business, education, boards and commissions, and healthcare/social service/religion. Areas to be assessed and addressed are: business development, housing development, city infrastructure upgrades, building a new k–12 school, community/activities development, upgrading of emergency services, and possible annexing part, or all, of Moose Lake Township. Mayor Ted Shaw will contact Randy Lasky to discuss his possible role as facilitator of this committee.
Mayor Shaw reported that the local option sales tax request was accepted by the Legislative Committee in St. Paul. He expressed that it has a good chance of passing at the Legislature.
The Greater Minnesota Coalition of Small Cities, chaired by Mayor Ahlgren of Cloquet, is taking Moose Lake's property tax situation to the Minnesota Legislature — 75 percent of Moose Lake property is non-taxable due to the schools, churches and two state facilities within the city. The coalition is supporting a change to the LGA formula in the hope to obtain funding from the state for the city.
The Moose Lake Mafia Roller Derby will be held on April 6 at Riverside Arena. The council has approved the sale of alcoholic beverages at the event. The Moose Lake Municipal Liquor Store will provide the servers and beverages.
The next regular meeting of the Moose Lake City Council will be held on Wednesday, April 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

That's why the ball is so far forward in his hands. To me, it looked like in his thrust to move it forward, he lost it, and his hands were just following the ball at that point, going with the motion so to speak.

If Bill O'Brien knows he is staying, he has to say so. Losing him this offseason would hurt Penn State more than sanctions would.

Know some of you think the media is making a mountain out of a molehill, but it isn't a trick question and he has given nonspecific answers
Ben Jones @Ben_Jones88
He has a contract for the better part of a decade, if him not committing to year two isn't at least suspicious then I don't know what is.
None of this necessarily means O'Brien is out the door.
It just means he won't lie. He won't sit there one day like Nick Saban did with the Miami fans and tell them he was absolutely staying and a few days later sign a lucrative contract in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
O'Brien is not going to hem himself in. He's not going to diagram a whiteboard when he doesn't know the package of possible plays yet.
That's the way the guy is. That's what makes him so good at what he does. And we're all just going to have to live with it.

Love beer? Adore cheese? Then this flavorful dip is for you. We've got one of the most delicious pre-game eats to supplement (and make) your tailgate perfect.
Beer Cheese Dip: Makes about 2 cups of cheese dip. Adapted from The Joy of Cooking
1 cup of good beer
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
8 ounces sharp cheddar, grated
3 ounces gruyere, grated or chopped into small pieces
1 ounce cream cheese, broken into pieces
¼ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ tablespoon Dijon mustard
Heat the beer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch. Once the beer is warmed, add the cornstarch mixture and whisk together until thickened, about two minutes.
Add the cheeses about a half of a cup at a time, stirring in a figure-8 pattern with a wooden spoon. Once the cheese has melted, add another half of a cup, until you have added all of the cheese. Add the Worcestershire sauce and mustard, stirring to combine.
Serve the cheese dip hot with an assortment of bread cubes and vegetables. If you have a small crockpot, serve the cheese in that to keep it warm. Otherwise, put the dip in a microwave-safe bowl so you can re-heat as necessary.

Two projected starters on the Texas A&M football team have been accused of assault from an incident that occurred in April, The Eagle (College Station, Texas) reports.
According to College Station police, 21-year-old Deshazor Everett and 20-year-old Floyd Raven were charged after the April 7 fight. Both surrendered at the Brazos County Jail on Monday.
The Associated Press reported that both players were suspended Monday from team activities after being charged with two charges of misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief.
The school said Everett and Raven will remain suspended pending further investigation, though they can continue their studies.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL COUNTDOWN : Ranking teams 1-125
SATURDAY DOWN SOUTH: Texas A&M players accused
The charges are the result of an April 30 incident in which they allegedly hit two men at a College Station apartment complex and allegedly "pounded and kicked" a truck at the scene of the crime.
Via The Eagle:
Court documents state that the two football players were among a group of 10 to 12 men who "attacked" two people as they climbed out of a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe at an apartment complex off Harvey Mitchell Parkway early April 7.
The fight apparently started at Hookah Station, a bar at Northgate, according to the documents that detail how the altercation started when the two football players sprayed champagne into the crowd. Pushing and shoving ensued but before a fight started it was broken up by College Station police and bouncers at the club, according to the arrest report.
Everett was a key factor at cornerback throughout the 2012 season, notably intercepting an AJ McCarron goal-line pass on fourth down with less than two minutes left to seal the Aggies' stunning upset win over Alabama.
Raven, a senior safety from Kenner, La., had 16 tackles in 13 games last season.
It should be noted that A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel was arrested, however he did not miss any time. Manziel almost transferred before his 2012 Heisman season.

Now that Christmas is over, the Chinese can get back to making things you won't find at Wal-Mart — like an armored attack vehicle with a turret based on a reverse-engineered Army HMMWV (Hummer H1 to us civvies).
The Dongfeng EQ2050 — commonly translated as the Dongfeng Crazy Soldier — has proven to be a popular choice among China's various security services. In an effort to expand its product line, Dongfeng has fitted light armor and a roof turret to the Hummer's stout frame. Power is provided by a Cummins-designed diesel V8, built by a Chinese/Cummins joint venture in the Celestial Empire.
Feel free to see this as another part of China's unsettling recent military buildup, but given the events of this past year it might be a marketable commodity.

The Presidents of Cyprus and Turkey — Nicos Anastasiades and Recep Tayyip Erdogan — are set to visit India within days of each other. Mr. Erdogan will be visiting India on April 25, the first time since 2008 and Mr. Anastasiades in the first week of May.
The visits assume importance with the Nuclear Suppliers Group plenary session coming up in June, and India needs all the support it can get for a second bid at NSG membership. Cyprus supports India on the NSG front. Turkey, Sock Black Pink Nike Racer Nike Dart Gs 5pqx76Ron the other hand, had backed a "process-based" approach, and reportedly wanted both Pakistan and India to be considered together.
The timing of the visits is reportedly coincidental but has elicited interest as the two countries don't get along with each other.
Why not?
In order to understand why Cyprus was split in the first place, we'll need to go back to the late 19th century, when the Ottoman Empire handed over Cyprus to Great Britain in return for military assistance against the Russians. The primary conflict then was between the people of Cyprus and the British administration of the island, with the former demanding right to self-determination or independence However, the conflict assumed an ethnic nature when the two largest demographic entities – the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots – proposed varying solutions.
While the Greek Cypriots favoured a political union of all Greeks with the constitution of a sovereign Greek state, the Turks favoured partition of the island of Cyprus between Turkey and Greece. What ensued was a war-like situation, assuaged by the London-Zurich Agreement which saw Cyprus attain independence. Archbishop Makarios, a long-standing Greek Cypriot leader, was made the President and ratified a Constitution that provided for a Turkish Cypriot Vice-President and a division of the civil services in a 70-30 split between the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, respectively.
What changed?
While Britain, Turkey and Greece resolved to maintain "sovereignty and territorial integrity" of Cyprus, internal tensions began to brew in the newly-independent state. President Makarios proposed amendments to the Constitution was viewed as an assault on the Turks, who had broken away to establish a parallel administration in the north.
The turning point, though, was the coup of 1974 supported by the military junta of Greece which deposed the Makarios administration. For Turkey, this raised suspicion of Greek control over islands. As a result, Turkey invaded northern Cyprus and established the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). The invasion led to displacement of over 1,60.000 Greek Cypriots and marked the beginning of a long military standoff between the two entities.
It is important to note that the TRNC lacks international recognition, enjoying diplomatic relations with just Turkey while the Republic of Cyprus is the officially recognised governing entity of Cyprus, with a U.N. and EU membership.
What has happened since?
In order to maintain stability, the U.N. Security Council deployed the Clarks Comic Zone Zone Clarks khaki Comic khaki Clarks Jnr Jnr UfdwvfPeacekeeping Forces in Cyprus (UNFICYP) in 1974 that were charged with defining the buffer zone between the two factions and maintaining ceasefire. The UNFICYP remains in force even today, making the longest serving U.N. Peacekeeping mission.
A 2004 deal negotiated by Secretary General Kofi Annan provided a glimmer of hope of resolution of the conflict. However it was rejecteed by the Greek Cypriots in a referendum while the Turkish Cypriots accepted it.
Resource sharing with respect to the land under control is a major issue affecting all stakeholders in the conflict.
How could it possibly end?
Popular support for union with Greece has diminished, with both sides recognising the need for mutual respect and peaceful coexistence in a bi-zonal and bicommunal Cyprus.While the Greek Cypriots favour a federation without definite ethnic divisions, their Turkish counterparts demand the establishment of an autonomous region in the union for themselves.
Power-sharing, demilitarisation and reparation to displaced Greek Cypriots as well as determining the roles of Britain, Turkey and Greece in the future of island nation is essential before Cyprus can be reunified.
The election of new leaders in Republic of Cyprus and TRNC – Mr. Anastasiades and Mustafa Akinci respectively – is a promising start as both sides seem open to negotiations as was seen in Geneva in January, 2017.
But, Mr. Erdogan's refusal to withdraw over 30,00 troops stationed in Northern Cyprus has derailed talks, with a demand that Greek withdraw its 1,000 troops stationed in the south. Demand for rotational presidencies has also increased from Turkey's side.
For now, a de facto partition remains in place, with popular support for reunification rapidly diminishing among citizens of the island.

This is wonderful news, I'm sure she's excited, and everybody loves a good homecoming story!
Time will tell.
no! so happy and excited! cant wait to see!!!!
Truth in time tells all!
International Blog and Shop
As long as the money people don't meddle with her – wasn't that the original problem? Both times? Isn't it usually the problem?
She can't be wrong! she built the brand, it is her's so everything is possible;-)
I love her design for Uniqlo. But is it a good idea ? This is not the first time Jil coming back, isn't it?
Hope to see it soon!!!
I'm so thrilled that she still has the desire to reclaim her iconic brand.
I am a minimalist at heart, and this inclination has never left me, even through the Marni obsessed (remember??) and maximalist aughts! I think minimalism will once again resurface as a very relevant aesthetic in these coming years – esp with Jil's involvement once again in a major way.
I think Jil is well aware of the incredible success of Raf's Jil Sander, and I'm inclined to think she will do a masterful job at approaching her brand with both a nod and a respect to what he has built for her, as well as mine her own pre-Raf inspirations for her brand as she begins again. She is who she is, and we shouldn't denigrate that by insinuating her original vision for the brand is no longer relevant (as some people have done) just b/c Raf happened to be successful with his very different vision for her brand as creative director. There would have been no 'Raf Simmons for Jil Sander' if there was never a 'Jil Sander for Jil Sander' in the first place. And no matter what your opinion may be to her returning, one would do well to respect that fact. I wish her the very best!!!!
Looking forward to seeing the outcome of this new development xoxo
Awesome! Frau Sander. Reconquers.
This is the best news ever! Ruby, I completely agree with your comment " Before there can be a Raf for Jil, there first must be a Jil. Raf has done well but the return of the THE ORIGINAL brings me joy! Thanks for the good news!
I'm sure she'll do great!
fantastic talent, yes. aside from uniqlo there is a great deal of reference here to past work.
raf simons has 7 years of pushing the brand forward, exceptional, unprecedented work every season…it may be her name on the brand but jil is now stepping into someone else's shoes
wait and see. certainly excited
Exciting news! I can't wait to see what she'll do!
Hopefully her third return will be charmed!
That's a great news Scott. But time will tell…
Show Your Outfit !
Hope for her sake that she does well, but it is very hard to come back in anything and especially in fashion. We'll see but I'm doubtful.
I hope she comes back to stay.I love her work.Gratulierung Jil .Es freut mich Ihre Arbeit weiter folgen zu können.Viel Glück!
It´s great to hear about her return! I hope she will bring a bit more wearability into the mens collection. That is what her original vision was for the brand, so i hope that will shine through with the design.

Anyone having the issue with yaourt being ridiculously slow? Because pacman seems to resolve packages quite fast, but then yaourt just takes its time.
EDIT: So basically, I've narrowed down the problem to something with SSL itself. I have ca-certificates installed and re-installed it, but still no avail when running
openssl s_client -connect aur.archlinux.org:443
I get the following before the handshake actually happens.
verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate
verify return:0
EDIT #2: Fixed. Check https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p1221338 for fix.

Anyone having the issue with yaourt being ridiculously slow? Because pacman seems to resolve packages quite fast, but then yaourt just takes its time.
And that probably has nothing to do with the fact that yaourt must search the AUR? I'm not sure what sort of comparison you're doing here.

I just installed yaourt, it is neither faster nor slower compared to other helpers (if we don't talk about fractions of seconds). Must be a problem on your end.

Maybe. Thanks for testing, I'll investigate what particular problem is affecting my end.
@ngoonee: Its honestly, everything. Searching, downloading, well.. not installing. It installs just fine.
It is just odd considering Pacman seemed to run just fine and yet, the AUR/yaourt seems a tad bit slow. I'm being very vague here because I myself don't really understand what the problem really is other than yaourt really functioning noticeably slower than what it should. If I find a fix, I'll repost here so if others run into the same problem I can provide help. Thanks for responding.
Ok, so I am still having slow issues with yaourt. But I found out that its really not related to yaourt per-say. The issue is something with SSL in general. On Windows, https://aur.archlinux.org (or any https site for that matter) loads right up. But then on Arch, I have problems getting https to resolve on everything but Firefox. Dig is showing me that the hostname is resolving rather quickly, around 30-35ms~.. that's normal. I changed my DNS to OpenDNS and Google's DNS just to see if that would make a difference, but it didn't. Its definitely on my end and its weird because I did not touch anything related to OpenSSL.
Its also interesting that nobody else is having this issue. The weird part is that only Konqueror times out, but wget/curl/yaourt all resolve eventually and a transfer does happen. It just takes forever for anything to happen. gah. Anyone have any ideas as to what I should potentially look at? I got stumped when the DNS checked out fine. And the fact that Firefox resolves HTTPS connections fast/easy on Arch boggles my mind. Do they have their own implementation of SSL?
Perhaps it would be pertinent to update OP and thread title to reflect the actual issue now that you know it is unrelated to yaourt (as many of our community members are unlikely to be enticed to help given your current title)?
On a related note, you should read the Forum Etiquette. Specifically, the sub-section regarding bumps.
Now, to your issue, does dmesg or any other logging tool shed any light on what is taking so long if not the hostname resolution?
All the best,

Good idea. And I apologize for the vagueness of the post. Anyways, I updated the first post with the latest and greatest info I have on this issue.
EDIT: Fixed it. Seems disabling IPv6 fixed the issue. Here's what I did:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1

MOBILE, Alabama (Reuters) - Fires sparked by explosions engulfed two gasoline barges in the Mobile River, injuring three workers who remained in critical condition on Thursday, authorities said.
The blasts on Wednesday night aboard the fuel barges off the shore of Mobile, Alabama, forced officials to evacuate nearby shipyards and one cruise vessel, said Mobile Fire Chief Steve Dean.
For safety reasons, firefighters were keeping a distance from the barges, which were carrying raw gasoline and had already been the source of multiple explosions, Dean said.
The barge explosions forced the crew of Carnival Corp's cruise vessel Triumph to evacuate.
Three men working on the barges remained in critical condition with severe burns on Thursday, two in a burn unit, and the other in a surgical trauma unit, said Danny Whatley, nursing administrator for spokesman for Mobile's University of South Alabama Medical Center.
He declined to identify them, other than to say one was from Alabama and the others were from other U.S. states.
Mobile Fire and Rescue Department spokesman Steve Huffman said he didn't know who owned the barges or what their destination was.
The cause of the explosions was unknown and would not be determined until after firefighters reached the vessels, he said.
In February, an engine fire left Carnival Corp's Triumph and 4,000 passengers adrift in the Gulf of Mexico until they were towed back to land.

SALINAS, California (Reuters) - Hydraulic fracturing has brought together greens and growers in California through a shared concern about the impact of the practice on water in a state where it is often in short supply.
The strawberry industry lined up alongside environmentalists to voice their fears over fracking at a public hearing in Salinas at the Steinbeck Institute, named for a renowned author whose writing immortalized the region's agricultural history.
Fracking, or pumping chemical-laced water and sand into a well to open cracks that release oil and gas, has generated a fierce U.S. debate, leading to bans in one state and several municipalities. Yet the industry insists the practice is safe so long as wells are properly constructed.
California officials are on a tour to gather feedback from communities that may be affected by it, with plans to issue draft rules on fracking within three to four months.
"Farmers and environmentalists may not always see eye to eye, but we all rely on clean water," said Jonathan Evans of the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group. "When you have the greens and growers speaking out on the dangers of fracking, it's time for the regulators to sit up and listen."
Jason Marshall, deputy head of California's Department of Conservation, said the latest workshop on the subject was the first to hear from the state's strawberry growers, who supply an estimated 88 percent of the U.S. crop.
"If there's a spill on their field, nobody's going to buy from them," Carolyn O'Donnell of the California Strawberry Commission, speaking for the growers, told the hearing on Wednesday night in Salinas.
The city is located at the northern end of Monterey County, which captures just part of the vast Monterey shale formation - estimated by the U.S. Energy Information Administration to hold 15 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil, or four times that of the Bakken formation in North Dakota.
The Monterey shale was among the areas mentioned by the EIA this week when it forecast that U.S. production of such "tight" oil would double by 2035.
California is among the oldest U.S. sources of oil, with production going back to the late 19th century, but the industry is in long-term decline, falling by half since the mid-1980s.
Agriculture, on the other hand, remains a lucrative part of its economy, as well as a potent political force. About $4 billion in revenue was generated by agriculture in Monterey County alone in 2011, said Jocelyn Gretz, who has a masters in water management and now works for farmers in Salinas.
Tim Kustic, the state's oil and gas supervisor, told the meeting that most frack jobs of conventional California wells used no more than 500,000 gallons of water - which he compared with the 650,000 gallons that fill an Olympic swimming pool.
Such fracking has taken place in the state for 30 years, but there is more concern when it is combined with the "unconventional" practice of drilling horizontally through the reservoir.
A report on nationwide water usage in fracking by the Oakland, California-based Pacific Institute, which came out last week, said estimates varied from 2 million to 13 million gallons of water per well that was fracked and unconventionally drilled.
The combination of the two techniques is what opened up shale basins nationwide, and Marshall of the Department of Conservation said the potential for unconventional drilling in the state was a big reason for revisiting the regulations.
But given the level of public scrutiny, Marshall did not expect new rules to be finalized until mid-2013. As for state legislation to halt fracking, it has received little support.
"Most of the people in our area are not adamantly opposed to fracking as much as we are opposed to fracking without any additional information," said Paula Getzleman, co-owner of Tre Gatti Vineyards in southern Monterey County, where Venoco Inc has been active.
At least three exploratory wells had been drilled several miles away from her property, Getzleman said in a phone interview, though it was close to a vital local watershed. "Any spoiling of that water is going to affect everyone," she added.
Occidental Petroleum Corp is actively targeting the Monterey shale, though most of its acreage is over the hills in Kern County - the traditional home of the state's oil business.

Drought Threatens European Harvest
Thu 15 Sep 2005
It is predicted that this summer's scorching temperatures across Europe will have a negative effect on the harvest. Drought conditions affected areas as far apart as the Liore valley in France's northwest and Andalucia in southern Spain, following low rainfall during
Lack of water early in the season, just after flowering, can significantly affect the health of vines. Vines are in particular need of water in the spring when the plants need
The good news from our suppliers is that since they are not under pressure to produce enough grapes to make the millions of bottles demanded by the supermarkets, they have been able to prune the vines so that fewer bunches of grapes are produced - but without compromising the quality standards we have all come to expect. Bottle quantities will however, be much lower than normal.
