Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Happiness comes from deep within, and not from people, situations, or circumstances.
According to Researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego:
"When an individual becomes happy, the network effect can be measured up to three degrees. One person's happiness triggers a chain reaction that benefits not only his friends, but his friends' friends, and his friends' friends' friends. The effect lasts for up to one year."
Since whatever we focus on grows, the aim of this group is to help members focus on happiness and to spread it at every opportunity.
If you are a happy person and want to socialize and network with other happy people, this is for you. If your goal is to become a happier person this group is for you. If you want to contaminate others with your happiness, this group is definitely for you.

Hot on the heels of opening in Mt Maunganui, Nosh Food Market opens its eighth store on Constellation Drive in Auckland's North Shore this coming Tuesday (13 Nov).
Nosh co-founder and director Clinton Beuvink says there has been plenty of demand from North Shore shoppers for a Nosh store.
"We have had a lot of feedback from 'the shore' asking when we'd be opening a branch there so we're delighted to have Constellation Drive ready in time for the busy summer season."
He says New Zealanders are sophisticated consumers who are now demanding a better quality of food retailing which is fuelling demand for greater competition.
"It strengthens the category and consumers are the winners – they have more choice on where they can shop and are no longer dictated to by the big supermarkets. We are giving consumers what they want and more."
The store stocks a range of global brand names such as Waitrose and also includes a Black Rock Butchery (winner of the Ham of the Year 2012) on site bakery, fruit and vegetables seafood and much more.
Constellation Drive is Nosh's second franchise store, jointly owned with Jo and Simon Jamieson who have a background in food and retail businesses including a café and catering outlet, video stores and a telecoms franchise.
The Jamiesons contacted Nosh after reading in the media that the company was interested in pursuing a growth strategy involving the owner-operator model and say they're "stoked" with the Constellation Drive location.
"It's smack bang in the middle of a large residential and commercial catchment area and very close to the motorway. Plus we're bringing up to 40 new jobs to the area – it just has a good community feel about it," Mr Jamieson says.
Nosh will extend its VIP member scheme to the new store. A Nosh VIP-only morning on Tuesday features special deals, food tastings and demonstrations by My Kitchen Rules stars Simon and Meg. The store is open to the general public from midday.
Customers who spend $75 or more on opening day receive an exclusive free goody bag (while stocks last).
For more, please go to www.noshfoodmarket.com or www.Blackrockbutchery.com.

A Big Cigar Is Critical of West Virginia
After John Pruett of the Huntsville Times wrote a piece last Friday that was critical of West Virginia boosters who were in a tizzy over Rich Rodriguez's departure to Michigan, the columnist got a call from Kendrick.
"I grew up in that state,'' Kendrick said. "My heart is still in those mountains, even though I live 2,000 miles away.''
Kendrick told Pruett that Rodriguez was "signed, sealed and delivered" to be Alabama's coach last year and in the middle of the night he received a call from a university official asking if he would intercede.
"They said we know you know how to negotiate,'' Kendrick said, "and we know that you know Rich and we know you support the program. Can you help? I said, 'Well, I'll try.' ''
Kendrick spoke with Rodriguez and asked what it would take to keep the coach in Morgantown. "He wanted more money for his assistants, some improvements in facilities, an improved locker room, and some modest things — like waiving an old policy so that high school coaches could attend games free, and hiring another graduate assistant.''
Kendrick said he was "among a group of individuals who were willing to fund the whole thing,'' that "it wouldn't have cost the university a penny,'' and that "none of it would've come from taxpayers' money.''
Rodriguez agreed to stay, but in the subsequent months, Kendrick said West Virginia officials began to "stonewall" on promises made to Rodriguez. When Michigan called, Rodriguez was fed up.
"Rich Rodriguez is not the traitor he has been made out to be by some people in West Virginia,'' Kendrick said. "In his heart, I know he wanted to stay. But this time, he felt he had no choice but to leave.''
Then Kendrick let it fly: "We have a poorly run athletic department and an incompetent AD and assistant AD. This is a $50 million business — and it is a business — and they don't have a strategic plan. They still run the place like it was a business the size of a dry-cleaning store.''
Kendrick said it's not his place to say who should be the next coach, but he's clearly worried what is ahead for the Mountaineers.
"I do believe our next coach will have at least momentary successes, based on what Rich has left behind,'' he said. "But I'm worried that our moment in time has passed. I'm afraid our chances of returning to mediocrity are pretty damn high.''
8 comments:
Kendrick is one of Rich Rod's long-time buddies. They aren't gonna say a bad word about Rodriguez.
Articles like Pruett's are revealing one side of the story, which is fine.
Rodriguez has held WVU hostage two times now, the second time killing said hostage. He got that raise for himself and his assistants the first time. He got that extension the first time. He got those improvements to the stadium, locker room, and practice facility.
How many times was he going to play hardball with the AD?
Basically, there's another side that needs to have it's story told, and ESPN and Pittsburgh papers are failing to do so.
The AD is completely dropping the ball here. And would you rather read completely one-sided articles calling Rodriguez a traitor, or would you like to have a balance in the media?
Or why don't you just have your parents pay for Rich Rod's salary like everything else?
RRod and Ken Kendrick had the power and support of WVU fans and alumni to address these issues and demand their change the second the Fiesta bowl was over. RRod could easily have gotten these things done. The fact is he wanted to go. And he chose to leave before one of the biggest bowl games in the programs history. This is all just PR to make him seem like the good guy in all of this.
WVU's football program was riding a great wave of success under Rod and now needs to regroup and find a coach who can continue to build a great program.
It's too bad for RRod. He could have gone down in history as our Bear Bryant, Joe Paterno, or Woody Hayes. Someone who was revered for building a program up over years and making it into something special. If he doesn't find quick success at Michigan watch out. Look how Loyd Carr was roasted after losing to App State and Oregon.
You made you bed Rich Rod, now you get to "lie" in it.
lets get an outside perspective from me.
All you WVa lovers are blaming Rodriguez b/c you believe excatly what Kendrick believes: this team will go down hill fast after another year or two.
but you still want to blame Rodriguez cause hes not at WVa your beloved school) anymore. why would someone as big as Kendrick say those things about WVa if they weren't true? sure, maybe he is a good friend of Rodriguez but he wouldn't lie to the world about this.
Who knows when Rodriguez was going to get another oppurtunity like this. maybe never. bye-bye WVa. and you're upset soley about that and in complete denial that what Kendrick said COULD be true.
What we really have here is simply Ken Kendrick trying to take some of the heat and blame off his old buddy and trying to pin it some somebody else. With Rodriguez gone, Kendrick no longer has WVU's head football coach in his hip pocket and he's no longer considered the "power broker" of the boosters.
To Boz. I have no doubt that Kendrick raises some good questions and that if true need to be addressed for the long term health of the program. What I am disappointed in is that RRod did not stay around to get them fixed and left the team at the worst possible time. Before a bowl game and 2 months before high school seniors sign their LOI. Of course there is no "perfect" time to leave a program but the way RRod left was not pretty.
College football programs take years to build into something. Recruiting, relationships with high school coaches, summer camps, etc... all happen over a long period of time. Those things had come a long way under RRod and we were looking to continue that. If you can't understand why people are mad about that I don't know what to tell you.
I understand this. but it was apparent the school was not holding up their end of the deal. it's been almost a full year since the RRod and the school agreed to RRods needs.
Kendrick says that none have taken flight. RRod thinks the school was BSing him...i dunno. just what i can assume.
he couldnt wait around another year to see if they were going to BS him again. and another Mishitagin job was highly unlikely to be around as well.
with any luck, you guys will sign the CMU head coach. he appears to have the blue print and I could be wrong about WVa being non-existent in the next 1-2 yrs.

This is what I drank after a long hot sweaty bike ride in Beijing.
I have a $25 one-speed from the local Carrefour which I am supposed to leisurely pedal. Cheap one-speeds are not meant to go fast. Sometimes I forget this, especially when I go to my favorite grocery stores that happen to be half an hour away by bike. My tendencies to zip by old men on their Flying Pigeons and come home glowing with perspiration I blame on having commuted to work by road bike on New York's Greenway, alongside the multitude of spandex-clad cyclists. Here, there is no spandex in sight to make you feel the need to ride fast. Everyone just glides gently along with grocery-filled baskets.
So until I learn to slow down, I am keeping a pitcher of something cold and a tray of ice cubes ready in the fridge. Today I cooked down a pound of black cherries, added some lemon juice and sugar, infused the liquid with a bit of star anise, and mixed in some strong black tea. The star anise adds just a touch of unexpected spice to the fruity tea. This batch should hopefully last a few days.
The hardest part is not snacking on the cherries before you start making the tea.
Other summer coolers:
Thai Lemongrass & Ginger Iced Tea
Coconut and Lime Lassi, Mango and Cardamom Lassi
Black Cherry Iced Tea Adapted from Food & Wine
- 2 quarts water
- 1 pound fresh black cherries, rinsed and pitted
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 whole star anise
- 5 bags black tea, steeped in 2 cups water
- Mint sprigs for garnish
- Bring the water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add the cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and star anise. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cherries are almost falling apart. Turn off the heat, mix in the black tea, and let stand for 1 hour to cool.
- Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve, mashing the cherries with a wooden spoon to extract more liquid. Discard the solids. Transfer the liquid to a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve, such as after a long hot summer bike ride.

On The Street……The Working Womens Wardrobe p2
CommentsClose comment
39 comments
As a working woman, I would feel decidedly uncomfortable in this outfit – the long cuffs with the short pants would make me feel top heavy or something.
The colors are nice, though.
what happened to the quality of your pictures?
i agree with the above; at least some more stylish flats or kitten heels, unless she has the more uncomfortable pair stowed away in her bag. the colors are nice, but the top looks more formal than the bottom.
the "look-like-a-man" approach for working women went by the wayside a long time ago, thank god. it looks like she's in a men's jacket.
More than anything else, I love, love, love the long cuffs.
she looks very put together but also a bit too masculine or dated, imho. maybe it's the accessories with the clothing. anyway, as a young, female design professional, i want to look more feminine and modern.
I agree with the previous post. Also I think the ankle biters are unflattering for most women.
to Anon 1:53
this was a fast sidestep to a loading problem
with blogger
I will be refining it over the next day
you can nitpick the details but this woman has major style
I bet when she leaves a meeting she is remembered -hopefully for all the right reasons
a beautifully-cut blazer. i tend to agree with the contrasting formality in the look… i would lose the blazer… a crisp white shirt does it for me.
She looks familar…has she been on here before? Or maybe, it was that woman who was wearing Domenico Vacca I believe.
The tapered legs, low waist do indeed make her look top heavy, but I like her "Well yes, I am an UES bourgeoise. See you at Settemezzo" attitude.
Dear Sart ,agree with you about this woman having style,but I'm a working woman too and i have to say,i agree more with the girls who posted comments about they prefering more modern and feminine looks.
Love you the same,
I'm not suggesting this is the only way a working woman should dress but it is an option, especially with so many doing femme work wear so poorly
Often a look is either too frumpy or too sexy – I am really shocked by some of the outfits i see in the offices during this summer – cover up young lady!
Love your site, am learning tons. Thanks!
Do you give fashion advice? I mean, your pictures are the ultimate in fashion advice, but I mean answering specific questions.
love again –
I wonder about what is the proper proportion for a jacket of this kind, with pants of those kind? I like the look – on her. But I would not be honest if I didn't question the addition of the crisp white pocket square … To me, anyway, it is just too much with the handbag, and the very nicely done long cuffs.
I actually like the jacket & shirt beacuse of daring to look masculine in summer time. I would choose so sexy heels though or flats. The mocasins are (this time) to casual in contrast to the jacket.
Stylish professional clothing for women is difficult to find…
The pics in this blog reflect that phenomena – impeccably dressed men, hipsters, 'creative' profs. sweet young things in girly dresses…but very few prof women that have a modern/contemp flare.
I'd love to see more sartorial inspiration in this gap! Surely NYC has some role models for me in this niche!
She looks neat but it's just a bit boring? And possibly a bit masculine.
Of course I am not in the same age group so I wouldn't dress like this to work…
very preppy…its quite typical isnt it..
I really like this look. I would wear this. The cuffs on her shirt, the lemongrass pants, the Hermes accessories…but what really gives her ensemble character are her beat up drivers. The shoes have seen some mileage…but they are so charming.
My fiancee is always at a loss when shopping for professional attire in the US.
It's either cheaply made (synthetic city) or too casual (especially if you work in a more corporate environment). Europe has a lot more to offer in that "better" to "bridge" category of professional womenswear and even the designer stuff – both in terms of style, choices, quality and femininity. Paris and Milan in particular. She always goes and buys work-shirts when she's there (and lots of non-work stuff of course).
For example… Her, imho, hottest suit is from D&G and can be warn with quite some success in the US board room as well.
Ps. Her pocket square is perfect.
very much like the cut of the jacket… not sure bout the capri's however. she has style though… can't deny it.
I agree that this is a great option for this particular type of woman for work – I'm imagining how hot it must be, yet she looks so chic and pulled together. I generally look extremely wilted and flushed in summer – this woman looks chic and ready to go and well-ironed. And yes, I think part of that is the detail of the cuffs.
sart -
i don't think you need to justify any of the images you place on your blog. you have an incredibly unique eye, and that's why i, personally, visit your site so much.
love your work.
I absolutely love this outfit!
I don't feel like wearing heels every day (most but not every) and I think her style is classy and sharp – she is wearing this outfit not vice versa.
I would only say this is not an outfit for a 20′s something it's more 40′s upwards.
is this a recent pic? All fashion love aside- isn't she boiling in this 100degree weather in that blazer??
She looks like she could be from New Canaan, Connecticut – all prepped out. Her style doesn't do anything for me because it seems a bit unbalanced with casual pants and shoes and a tailored shirt & jacket. I give her credit for trying to look professional despite the heat & humidity.
This look is for the confident woman. Do not try it if you are too self conscious. I love it. It screams power and feminity at the same time.
Hermès bag!
I lived in Paris from 1990 to 2000, and this is exactly how French young, well-to-do mothers dressed at that time. If there was a uniform look for what to wear when you collected your children from school, this was it. Capris, either ballerina flats or Tod's, Hermes accessories and a blazer (to show that you were polished and chic) were de rigeur, at least at my children's school.
Think the cropped pants with the tailored jacket and long cuffs are unbalanced, I agree with someone saying topheavy. I see two different outfits if this gets split at the middle but like both just not together. Work wear for women is very tough, especially in my conservative environment, please post more shots to show more options.
She looks too much like a walking ad for Hermes…
this look is hot. i bet she looks great and feels comfortable when she takes her blazer off when she gets in the office. i definitely want her handbag too. i love it.
Screams money, and lots of it! I want her as my sugar mommy…
Love it! Confident, classy and a little preppy. Although I agree that not everyone could wear this outfit, this woman knows who she is!
I love this look! I think it depends on what your style is. According to the Budget Fashionista, this would fall between Trendy and Socialite…which is what I am, a Trendy Socialite. Isn't that name just delicious?!?!?!?! I work in a more laidback environment where this look would be perfect.
She rocks the pocket square!

Looking back at Jimmie Johnson's win at Texas, NASCAR's title Chase and other motor racing over the weekend, five things come to mind:
--Johnson hasn't won his sixth title yet. It's down to Johnson and Matt Kenseth for the championship, with Johnson holding a seven-point edge with two races left, at Phoenix and Homestead-Miami. But remember what happened last year? Johnson arrived in Phoenix with an identical seven-point lead, crashed and lost the title to Brad Keselowski. It likely will go down to the wire.
--Even so, Johnson is a favorite at Phoenix. He's the all-time leading Sprint Cup Series winner at Phoenix with four victories, and he was second behind Carl Edwards in the spring race there this year. But Kenseth also knows his way around the one-mile oval in the desert, having won once there before, and his comeback from a speeding penalty in Texas to finish fourth showed he'll be tenacious until the end.
--Kyle Busch is giving a good account of himself. Busch likely won't win the Chase, but the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is having a good postseason. He's now fourth, 52 points behind Johnson, after a tire problem sent him into the wall at Texas and left him with a 13th-place finish. If the temperamental Busch can keep his position or move up in the last two races, he'll have the best points finish in his career.
--John Force's coronation awaits in Pomona. As the National Hot Rod Assn. closes its season this weekend at Auto Club Raceway, Force already has clinched a record 16th funny car championship. But the top-fuel title is still up for grabs, even though Shawn Langdon has a comfortable 102-point lead over reigning champion Antron Brown. This also will be the first time Brown has returned to Pomona since his harrowing crash there in February.
--Bryan Clauson has yet another USAC title. With his second-place finish in the season finale at Perris Speedway, the 24-year-old driver won his second consecutive USAC National Sprint Car championship. This is Clauson's sixth USAC title overall, and he won his latest driving for the Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing team.

Gardening 101 for New Orleans
Make 2013 the year you discovered your green thumb.
Judging by the huge tree roots that take over the sidewalks of some New Orleans streets, it looks like it would be easy to get something to grow in the Crescent City. But there's more to planting a garden than putting a seed in the ground and watering it a few times. We talked to local experts to put together this step-by-step guide to help you grow a beautiful garden.
Step 1:
Prime the garden. Decide where you want to plant, and remember to start small. You shouldn't try to turn your whole backyard into a garden in one day, recommends Kenny Rabalais, who co-owns The Plant Gallery (9401 Airline Highway, 488-8887, ThePlantGallery.com) with his wife, Jennifer. "Slice it into a pie and do pieces of it so you can see your success as you go," he says. "It will make you really want to push to finish it and not be so overwhelmed."
Once you've settled on a location, you need to test your soil. Take a soil sample to a local garden center, or send the sample to the Louisiana State University AgCenter, where it will be analyzed in a lab then sent back to you within seven to 10 days with a report about the state of your soil. You can pick up a box to send your soil to the LSU AgCenter at local garden stores or at the Orleans Parish extension office in room BW15 in City Hall (1300 Perdido St., 658-2900). For more information on the process, visit LSUAgCenter.com.
Another thing to check before you start planting is drainage. New Orleans is known for retaining water, so it's important to make sure your garden isn't doing the same thing. "Drainage is key because plants like oxygen," says Andrew Loyd, the Orleans Parish Assistant Cooperative Extension Agent for the LSU AgCenter. "If there's water sitting there, the roots aren't going to grow and with the anaerobic conditions, they'll die." To make sure your garden is going to drain, add more soil to make a mound – "essentially a raised bed," Loyd says – so the water will drain off.
While testing the soil and dealing with drainage isn't the most exciting part of gardening, Rabalais says it's crucial. He compares it to painting a house. "If the paint's falling off the house, and you hurry up and paint it, then the paint's not going to last," Rabalais says. "But if you sand it and prime it, your paint's going to last. Don't buy a great plant unless you prime the garden."
Step 2:
Survey your sun situation. Before you run out to the garden store, you also have to observe the amount of sun your future garden gets. Take some time to examine the amount of sunlight. Look at the spot in the morning, in the middle of the day and in the evening. Whether the spot gets a lot of sun or sits in the shade will determine the types of plants you should buy. And not knowing what kind of sun your plants are going to get could ruin your garden – not to mention your mood.
Step 3:
Think about your level of commitment. One of the last factors to think about before you start planting is how much effort you're going to commit to the garden. "There's no such thing as no maintenance," Rabalais says. He adds that any living thing requires maintenance, especially in New Orleans' hot summers. "We could either have two weeks of rain or two weeks of drought," he says. "If you plant something right in the beginning of a drought and you don't water it, then it's not going to live."
Be realistic with yourself. You will have to commit some time to watering. Lydia Pollard, a member of the board of Master Gardeners of Greater New Orleans, and the manager of the ARC Project's Uptown greenhouse, says it's important for gardeners to keep checking their plants and to use their best judgment when it comes to watering. "You can't water on a schedule because it depends on if it has rained," Pollard says. She recommends sticking a finger deep into the soil to examine the moisture.
Step 4:
Decide what you want. Once you know you have good soil and drainage, and you have an idea of the sun on your garden, you're ready for the plant store. Make a plan for what you want your garden to look like. What colors do you want? What kinds of plants do you want? Remember that a plant is only going to do well if you buy it for the right amount of sun. Make sure you're looking at plants for your sun situation, and then choose the ones you want.
For color, Loyd suggests grouping certain colors together. This is when you can get creative and think of colors that work well together or the colors that you want to look at every day.
As far as specific plants, angelonias are a popular warm-season plant, says Melinda Taylor, a horticulturalist and color expert at the New Orleans Botanical Garden. Torenias, cat's whiskers, gomphrenas and ornamental sweet potato are also good options, as well as marigolds and vincas.
When you're ready to buy plants, go for transplants instead of seeds because there's a better chance of success with transplants, Pollard says. Beginner gardeners can use seeds, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong, and seeds require more time and patience. The best way to try a seed is to start it in a container then transplant to your garden. (Pollard adds that some plants require direct seeding, so make sure you check the label on the seed packet.)
Step 5:
Plant and water. Once you're ready to put your plants in the ground, make sure you give them enough space. The most important factor is how big the plant is going to get, so it's important to read the label or to double check with an employee at the garden center before you buy. "A lot of times, people will plant plants really close together because they want instant satisfaction," Loyd says. "That's why they run into problems. You want a plant for the future and you just have to be patient."
Step 6:
Don't stress out. If you run into any problems while gardening or notice anything weird about your plants, don't be afraid to go to a local garden store for help, and always read the directions when buying plants or fertilizer. Understanding how plants work and putting effort into your new garden could make you discover the green thumb you never knew you had. "People will often plant things in the wrong spots and then their plants don't do well and they automatically think they have a black thumb," Loyd says. "But if people just read labels and read about the plants and understand the biology of the plants, everybody has a green thumb."

Gift to University of Michigan supports creation of a new hybrid operating room
Dec 19, 2013, 12:01 ET
Victors for Michigan campaign gains momentum with $7.5 million gift from Robert and Ann Aikens
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A $7.5 million gift to the University of Michigan will advance research and discovery toward curing aortic disease, and support creation of a new hybrid operating room at the U-M Frankel Cardiovascular Center.
With their gift, Robert and Ann Aikens, of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., will propel an evolution in heart care. The latest advancements in cardiovascular treatment include hybrid procedures in which catheter-based interventions, simultaneous imaging and open chest surgeries are performed in the same operating room.
The newest hybrid surgical suite, which is double the size of a regular OR, is the third for the U-M and merges the radiological and surgical techniques that make advanced hybrid procedures possible.
"In order to offer this safe and more effective option, as well as attract industry partners, we must invest in facilities that provide flexible and complex operating space," says cardiologist Kim Eagle, M.D., a director of the Cardiovascular Center and the Albion Walter Hewlett Professor of Internal Medicine. "It is an essential component of any state-of-the-art cardiovascular center."
The University of Michigan Health System will match support from the Aikens family for the capital project with preliminary plans for opening in 2015.
Hybrid operating rooms enable the minimally invasive repair of heart valves and treatment of arrhythmias, aortic aneurysms and coronary arteries. Patients, especially the elderly, recover quicker from less invasive procedures.
U-M interventional cardiologists, surgeons, radiologists and echocardiologists are national leaders in performing a transcatheter technique that opens the door to aortic valve replacement for patients who cannot tolerate open heart surgery.
"The newest hybrid OR will serve as an anchoring element in our pursuit of the most innovative cardiovascular techniques," says interventional cardiologist Stanley J. Chetcuti, M.D., director of the U-M's cardiac catheterization labs and the Eric J. Topol Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine. "We are pursuing these innovations to bring cures closer to patients in a culture of collaboration and caring."
"Technology is changing how we think about and treat health problems," says cardiac surgeon G. Michael Deeb, M.D., director of U-M's Multidisciplinary Aortic Clinic and the Herbert Sloan Collegiate Professor of Surgery at the U-M Medical School.
"For example if we have a patient with a large aneurysm and cardiovascular disease, we would like to treat those problems simultaneously in order to decrease time on the heart-lung machine. In a hybrid operating room we can perform angioplasty and stent the lesion via transcatheter techniques and then proceed with the open surgery."
In addition to being a destination for complex aortic care, the U-M has scientists who are coordinating research to discover more answers and treatment breakthroughs for aortic disease.
In 1996, the U-M launched the International Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection, and scientists are exploring a radical approach to understanding the genetic drivers that make some patients more vulnerable to aortic complications.
"The Aikens investment will magnify our potential to impact aortic disease," Eagle says.
Robert Aikens is chairman of Robert B. Aikens & Associates L.L.C., a commercial real estate development and management firm based in suburban Detroit, and a 1954 alumnus of the Law School. In 2002, Ann Aikens earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design.
"Bob and Ann are exemplary university citizens," says Jerry May, U-M vice president for development. "They have enriched arts and law education at the U-M, and their continued philanthropy will improve the health of U-M patients."
The Robert B. Aikens Commons was named in recognition of the Aikens' gifts to the Law School, and the couple has provided generous support to the School of Art & Design and the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. In 2010, Ann Aikens received the David B. Hermelin Award for Fundraising Volunteer Leadership, the University's highest recognition for volunteer leaders.
The gift is part of the University's recently launched $4 billion Victors for Michigan campaign; the health system comprises one quarter of the campaign, with a goal to raise $1 billion for medical research, patient care and education.

Maori Angry About Mike Tyson's Tattoo Artist Claiming To Own Maori-Inspired Design
from the ownership-society deptWell, here's an interesting twist on the lawsuit from Victor Whitmill over the copyright on Mike Tyson's face tattoo. Many people have pointed out that the design appears to be inspired by the Maori, and it appears that Maori tattoo experts think Whitmill doesn't deserve anything at all:
Professor Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, author of Mau Moko: The World of Maori Tattoo, described Mr Whitmill's claims of ownership as insufferable arrogance. "It is astounding that a Pakeha tattooist who inscribes an African American's flesh with what he considers to be a Maori design has the gall to claim that design as his intellectual property," she said.That article notes that a local Parliament member said that it was a "bit rich" for Whitmill to be "moaning about the breach of copyright copied off Maori." Seems like bringing in a Maori tattoo expert would make for an interesting witness if this ever actually goes to trial...
"The tattooist has never consulted with Maori, has never had experience of Maori and originally and obviously stole the design that he put on Tyson.
"The tattooist has an incredible arrogance to assume he has the intellectual right to claim the design form of an indigenous culture that is not his."

About Dave
Which only the NSA, CIA, FBI, and Metro Police can monitor.
IMHO, you're giving them too much credit. I see NO thought processes going on here, just blind obedience to their masters, and they ain't us.
The human brain has a wonderful facility for masking rationality. It's called the EGO. Somebody dared to use HIS word, and must stop or pay. What does he do about the Olive Oil companies, or, better, the Catholic Church?
No, no, you don't understand. It ain't the populace that's braindead (see response to SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, etc.), it's the Politicians. Their meager brains have been so overwhelmed by all of that green and white stuff, including money, they are inundated with that they can't think. How many sane, rational people do you know that would make the kinds of decisions and judgements that they do? What do you expect?
If you ever get out of jail for flaunting them!
Interesting question: has ANYBODY, besides a TSA insider, actually seen one of these machines in action at an active airport. Perhaps the "Theater" is more profound than we think. Maybe it's ALL theater, and they are just bullies getting off on humiliating the public. If the nudie machines were just empty, non-functional shells that we were paying millions for, that might explain the TSA's reluctance. Follow the money. FBI: who's getting rich off this scam I'm paying for? WE'd like to know.
The only reason I can see for this sort of activity is somebody getting paid, or, more likely, being afraid their cash-cow will dry up. Best answer: remove them from the equation entirely.
Most GOOD artists, of all stripes, seem to do quite well for themselves WITHOUT the "benefit" of the gatekeepers, so let's eliminate the gatekeepers. They're redundant and useless.
If my understanding of what Neilson is after is correct (and that is certainly suspect), the cable companies can and do collect data on all of their channels from all of their subscribers. Couldn't they sell that data to Neilson, at least the bulk numbers of how many sets are tuned to what. The cable boxes know.
You are, as far as I can determine, exactly correct, if a little harsh. With one notable exception, all of the papers I have been able to research require the same standard of accuracy in their opinion pages as they do in their op-ed or news pages. My apologies to you and the other readers. I was apparently shooting from the hip, and not checking MY facts.
Which leads to the next question: WHY was this "opinion" allowed to be published when it was so extensively and obviously wrong? Was it just for the controversy or the attantion? I'd like to know.
Sorry, Sir, but you're dead wrong, and trampling on the First Amendment. The WSJ is NOT responsible for the veracity of columns on the Opinion page, even when they are grossly incorrect and/or misinformed. It's still his opinion, and is not presented as a news story. The paper has the option of not publishing if they disagree with it.
In fact, I wouldn't put it past the Editor to have published that piece for exactly the result he got, lots of ink and pixels for an organ that is slowly fading into the editorial sunset like most other dead-tree outlets.
Don't you folks read the page or are you so wound up about the "errors" you didn't notice?
Crovitz' column is an OPINION piece, so atated, and on the Opinion page. Who cares WHAT this clown says? IT"S HIS OPINION! Nowhere does that page state that WSJ backs it or has researched it. Pay attention, people. Sheesh!
Yeah, but Gul Ducat never admitted it.
I'm not particularly sexist, well, maybe a little. It seems to me, from what I've read lately, that the most vehement maximalists in public office, and the persons most likely to slam a defendant, are female. I wonder why.
You're dead wrong, jakerome. They are not only fully aware of selling out, they actively solicit buyers at every turn. Again, they regard Federal Service as license to print money and secure their own future and wealth. That is their ONLY motivation, Law, decency, and the Constitution be damned.
There ya go. THAT'S a great copyright claim. Maybe it'll get Greece out of the doghouse. We, the rest of the world, owe Greece US$150,000 PER athlete, per game for every Olympic Game performance ever held. Should be about 100 times the total GNP of Earth.
IMHO, the only effective test for web performance would be a measurement made every five minutes for a period of one week, between two points on the network. This would be repeated for every major node, for each ISP, in every city in the US, on identical off-the-shelf equipment running identical open-source software (assuming multiple tests were run at the same time). Might get a little expensive for the tester, and take years, but we'd at least have valid data.
We're in a race between those who would eat away our civil rights a little at a time, and those who would obliterate the Constitution wholesale. The only remaining question is how long it will take before the police state becomes official.
I think it works like this:
1. Olympic show is expensive.
2. City hosting show must fund it, and provide venue.
3. City appeals to corporations for money, with IOC blessing
4. Corporations, just because they can, impose severe restrictions on city and IOC as condition of granting money.
5. City and IOC, in order to protect their funds, go completely off the end of the pier. Remember, the corporations can pull their money whenever they like for whatever reason, or none.
IMHO, said corporations should be held legally responsible for ALL funding after they agreed. This especially means funding the athletes, instead of making them beg for money.
As far as I'm concerned, this whole thing is a total cluster*^$% and has been getting worse each time it's put on. I have NO INTENTION of wasting my time or resources on it. If, in the bloody unlikely event, I need information, there's always the internet.
The exact quote, at 17:20 into the movie, is:
"And you West, not every situation calls for your patented approach of shoot first, shoot later, shoot some more, and when everybody's dead, try to ask a question or two."
Sounds a whole lot like Hollywood's approach, too.
Actually they treat it more like the "Wild Wild West" version of "Shoot First, Shoot again, Shoot some more, and when everyone's dead, start asking questions".

White House denies allegations of scrubbing terror threat from CIA Libya account
The White House denied allegations Saturday that it scrubbed terrorist involvement from original CIA talking points on the fatal Libya attacks – part of a weekend back and forth in which both parties continued to defend their positions.
White House Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said only one minor change was made by the Oval Office.
"The only edit that was made by the White House and also by the State Department was to change the word 'consulate' to the word 'diplomatic facility,' since the facility in Benghazi was not formally a consulate," Rhodes told reporters Saturday aboard Air Force One.
"We were provided with points by the intelligence community that represented their assessment. The only edit made by the White House was the factual edit about how to refer to the facility," Rhodes also said.
His remarks came a day after former CIA Director David Petraeus told House and Senate intelligence committees that the agency's original talking points suggested the Sept. 11 attacks involved Al Qaeda affiliates and sympathizers – including the Libyan group Ansar al-Shariah.
However, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice made no mention of terrorists when appearing Sept. 16 on several TV shows to say the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, were "spontaneous" and appeared to be sparked by angry protests over an anti-Islamic film.
Rice purportedly was working off non-classified CIA talking points that had first been reviewed by the White House and other agencies including the Defense and State departments.
The attacks killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Steven and three other Americans.
Earlier on Saturday, Republican Rep. Pete King said the next step is learn who changed the talking points and why.
He also suggested the House Intelligence Committee could call Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to testify.
The New York congressman told Fox News that the CIA intelligence reports went through so many administration offices that finding out who removed the information that connected the attacks with terror groups will be difficult.
"The CIA had it right, and those talking points were changed," King said. "It's not going to be easy."
King, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, said the other Capitol Hill committees could call Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to testify but others on Capitol Hill also must take up the effort.
"It's up to the other committees," he said. "We have to find out … . Clearly, the intelligence committee had it right. Somewhere along the line the policy makers changed it."
He said the key questions for Rice should be: Who did she speak with in the intelligence committee before making her comments and who briefed her?
King suggested he'd be surprised if Rice went on national TV with just a few talking points.
"Maybe the president's right," he said. "We should be looking at him."
King stuck to his argument that the Obama administration believed the war against Al Qaeda was over "and this is what they wanted to present."
California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff told Fox the existing Hill committees can handle the investigation and a special Watergate-style or select Hill committee is not needed in part because it would be too politicized.
The attack occurred roughly seven weeks before Election Day.
King told Fox on Friday that intelligence officials who testified in a closed-door hearing a day earlier, including Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and acting CIA Director Mike Morell, said they did not know who changed the talking points.

Economic fights test GOP-CEO bond
The upcoming battles over taxes and spending may reveal whether tensions between corporate America and congressional Republicans that emerged during the fiscal cliff were a rare blip or the new normal.
It was one of the strangest twists of last year's fiscal cliff drama: Long-solid ties between the business community and the GOP quickly strained as corporate titans and their lobbyists urged Washington to essentially do whatever it takes — including hiking taxes — to get past the stalemate.
Story Continued Below
To CEOs, it might have seemed like statesmanship: calling on Washington to put everything on the line to save the country from a damaging economic blow. But to many Republicans on Capitol Hill, it amounted to hypocrisy: well-paid CEOs seemingly backing a tax increase for individuals and small businesses while furiously lobbying for a cut in corporate tax rates.
Nearly six weeks after the fiscal cliff deal was sealed, some GOP lawmakers say they still have a sour taste in their mouth.
Without tarring any group or CEO individually, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley told POLITICO that he thought of business leaders who seemed to back the tax hikes as "political prostitutes" whose "ideology is a mile wide and an inch deep."
The frustration stems from a sense that groups like the Business Roundtable and the Fix the Debt campaign took positions during the cliff debate that gave cover to Democrats aggressively pushing for tax rate increases. But the deeper anger also results from a belief that CEOs were willing to throw other groups — like small businesses taxed as individuals — under the bus.
"Clearly it wasn't helpful," Texas Rep. Kevin Brady, a senior GOP member of the House Ways and Means Committee, told POLITICO. "It was seen as providing cover to the White House and taking a pretty good swing — intentionally or not — at small businesses and pass-throughs."
But similar dynamics will be on display repeatedly as 2013 unfolds. The same CEOs are already injecting themselves into the sequestration debate.
And the tension between big corporate leaders and smaller businesses is certain to intensify if lawmakers move forward later this year with comprehensive tax reform — an effort that would require tricky trade-offs involving the tax breaks employed by small businesses and major corporations.
Those who led the corporate charge during the fiscal cliff debate know they ruffled some feathers among traditional allies in Congress. That was easy enough to detect when a December Business Roundtable letter to House and Senate leaders insisting that "no options" should be off the table met with a stern response from Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.). "Big businesses may support raising tax rates on small businesses, but I do not," Camp said then.
Now that some time has passed, John Engler, president of the Business Roundtable, said he doesn't think his actions caused any long-term trouble for the corporate community's policy agenda.
"That's fine, I've been around the game a long time," Engler, a former Michigan GOP governor, told POLITICO in response to the firestorm his letter caused. "What could have been done but wasn't, because everyone was so focused on taxes at that point, is to say, 'Hey, the letter is very balanced.' Actually, the letter was more balanced than the outcome, if you think about it."
The bottom line from Engler's perspective: "There is no lasting damage."
As the Roundtable made its pitch in the fiscal cliff fight, Fix the Debt leaders also encouraged lawmakers to take a far-reaching approach to deficit reduction and not rule out tools like revenue that might help.

Doors and windows are the key elements of all houses. Any other feature in a house can be optional and can be dome without, but there can hardly be anyone who can live in houses without these two basic features. Not all of us can hop off the back of reindeers and slide down chimneys. While different kinds of windows allow the entry of light and air into the house in varying degrees depending upon the climatic conditions of the concerned area, doors are essential for entry to the house, protection and dcor. In fact, the best way a home owner can renovate a house is through replacement windows doors. The installation procedure of both is more-or-less the same.
It more of the doors that the visitors come and see first and therefore home owners make an attempt to ensure that this feature is up to the mark. Doors are meant to compliment home dcor, be it the interior doors, or, the entry door. The entry doors are expected to make the first impression of the house to any visitor. Door hardware have therefore become of paramount importance. It is not just the utility that matters; it is also the style that makes a difference. It provides desirable finishing touch to both the interior and exterior of a house. This can be an instant face lift for any door and its vicinity. For instance, the home owner can consider changing the old hardware with new fixtures, and see the difference for himself!
Bronze is a very good material that can be considered for door hardware. It tends to change color over time and is known for developing a rich and unique finish in course of time. It is therefore, considered a living finish hardware option. In order to encourage interaction, it is good to rub bronze fixtures with oil. Living finish door hardware is a great choice for those seeking natural and charismatic look. One thing abut living finish hardware that should be borne in mind is that, they may be of the same shape, but their finish may differ. Use of these in indoor applications, such as kitchen and bathroom cabinets can also be considered.
Stainless steel, known for its, strength, durability and attractiveness can be used for door hardware in the form of hinges, handles and knobs. It can be an excellent option for sliding and hanging door hardware. Stainless steel includes a variety of style be it Victorian or, Craftsmen, and the added shiny polish contributes to its desirability. The best feature abut such door hardware is that it is rust free and can be used both indoors and outdoors in any weather or, climatic condition. It can be fitted to just about anything from, metal to wood to glass or, even aluminum. For those considering replacement windows doors can also look into the option of salvaged door hardware. It is known for providing unique aesthetic touch to homes. Being �salvaged' it is an eco friendly option too.

Staff Report
A 56 percent increase in tourism spending in Southwest Virginia since 2004 is highlighted in new report by the Southwest Virginia Cultural Heritage Foundation and the Friends of Southwest Virginia.
The annual report for 2017 outlines the regional economic impact of the tourism economy and spotlights economic, community and tourism development initiatives, regional marketing and branding.
WHITETOP — The Grayson County Planning Commission approved a special use permit following a public hearing on March 18 for the operation of a zip line ride in the Whitetop area.
Developer Lenny Cottom attended the meeting to answer questions about the proposed project that will be on property owned by John Doyle Hensley, near the Virginia Creeper Trail.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. — A new National Park Service (NPS) report shows that 15.2 million visitors to the Blue Ridge Parkway in 2012 spent $902 million in communities nearby.
That spending supported 12,168 jobs in the areas adjacent to the parkway, including the City of Galax and Carroll and Grayson counties. It's hard to know how many of those jobs are local, as the federal report did not break down the spending or employment by locality.
Southwest Virginia reached a milestone in tourism last year, and the numbers confirm that the City of Galax made the top of the list for bringing in more visitors from around the world.
Traveler spending in Galax increased 71 percent between 2004 and 2012.
Last year, the Southwest Virginia region generated more than $927 million in travel expenditures, according to an announcement made at the 2013 Southwest Virginia Creative Economy Conference on Sept. 20.
Gasoline prices in Hillsville and Galax have plunged in recent days, with service stations in the Twin Counties offering some of the lowest-cost fuel in Virginia.
While officials at the American Automobile Association (AAA) fully expected that gas costs would work out to be six cents cheaper after the state gas taxes changed from a retail to wholesale tax, the drop seen in the per gallon price locally has moved aggressively lower, as if there might be a pricing war going on here.
Several activities and sights in Galax have won awards in Blue Ridge Country's 2013 regional "Best of the Mountains" poll.
Readers chose the Blue Ridge Music Center as a gold winner for the best place to hear mountain music, the Galax Old Fiddlers' Convention for silver for best music festival, and New River Trail Cabins for gold for best cabin rentals.
Galax's historic downtown Rex Theatre won silver for best restored theater.
WHITETOP — Grayson Highlands State Park is a beautiful place to visit, hike, camp or just get away from your regular routine. Just be sure to keep your eye to the sky for fast changing weather conditions and always go prepared.
After my many visits there, I always had a lingering disappointment in the back of my mind every time I was about to make my way down the long winding road out of the park – I still had yet to see the infamous wild ponies that inhabit the balds of the mountain top, which I had heard so many stories about.
When the Blue Ridge Parkway announced its seasonal openings for 2013, the big news was about the places that will stay closed because of the federal government's automatic spending cuts.
Some campgrounds, picnic areas and visitor centers will remain closed this season, because of an across-the-board 5 percent cut to the National Park Service mandated by the federal sequester.
HILLSVILLE — Shoppers by the thousands are expected to descend on the Hillsville gun show and flea market, as well as the Sylvatus flea market and numerous yard sales, this weekend.
Roads in the vicinity are expected to be clogged with shoppers galore, so the Virginia Department of Transportation issued the following traffic advisory.
Travelers heading to the annual Labor Day weekend flea market should be prepared for considerable traffic delays.

As we look at our election on November 4, we see the news media trying to control the outcome.
Most of us know we have a two-party system with a one-party news media.
Not many years ago, I listened to this bunch of garbage they threw out until I realized they were the ones that were going to destroy our country.
I ask you to look at Governor Sarah Palin. What a breath of fresh air she brought to McCain's campaign. She shook the news media up so that they had to come up with something to beat her down.

The University of York report says government plans for airport expansion are in direct conflict with targets to reduce greenhouse gases.
Report authors Professor John Whitelegg and Howard Cambridge say polluting gases from aircraft exhaust fumes are on the increase.
Airlines should pay an environmental charge equal to the damage, they say.
The UK and other EU governments have made a massive commitment to expanding aviation, the report says.
It sets out a model for dealing with aviation over the next 30 years, recommending steps to be taken by the UK and other EU countries including an end to the tax-free status of aviation fuel.
The report says at least 50% of visitors should access airports by public transport, and wants journeys of less than 400 miles to be undertaken by train rather than plane, eliminating 45% of flights.
Prof Whitelegg told the BBC that high-speed rail services such as Eurostar needed to be improved so that every city in the UK was linked.
He said: "We could have a really high quality railway system that gives people a real alternative.
"At the moment we have cheap flights and some of the most expensive railways in the world. That is the wrong way around."
The report says businesses should be encouraged to use technology such as video conferencing as an alternative to travel.
Governments should carry out the Zurich airport "bubble concept", limiting emissions of all kinds from airports and treating them like large industrial sites, the report says.
Prof Whitelegg said air travel growth had been "fuelled by generous tax breaks and state aid, and is contrary to the objectives of environmental policy, especially efforts to prevent the worst consequences of climate change".
He told the BBC an environmental tax on flying was needed to reflect the "environmental realities".
He said governments were moving towards implementing such a tax, which could be as much as £40 or £50 per flight.
"This will ultimately be paid by the person who is flying or the person who is bringing in lettuces from Africa," he said.
The University of York's Stockholm Institute publishes the report on Monday.

The British media enjoy any opportunity to hail or condemn Margaret Thatcher, and the current Chancellor's 2013 budget – which emphasized home ownership and hard work – gave them such a moment.
The Daily Mail, a right-leaning tabloid with a circulation just under 2 million,was supportive of George Osborne's budget and created a photo-shopped image of the Chancellor with Thatcher's trademark bouffant and blue suit.
Under the headline, "The Laddies Not For Turning," a reference to a famous speech by the female prime minister, the newspaper praised the Tory MP for his attempt to restore the "Aspiration Nation" of the 1980s that Thatcher's particular brand of conviction conservatism introduced.

When Martha Napier took the leap and became a full-time freelance illustrator in 2013, the world of fashion design lost a wonderful creator, but the world of illustration gained an excellent artist. Martha's vivid watercolours and loose, almost naïve style, have given a lighthearted lift to all kinds of interesting projects in fashion, advertising, editorial and more. She also does live painting for clients, and was named a top illustrator to watch on Instragram by InStyle magazine.
Martha was born in the Midwest, grew up in Germany, and today splits her time between Chicago and New York. She loves fashion – that much is clear – and her most admired designers include Miuccia Prada, Marni, and Phoebe Philo. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Matisse and Cy Twombly are three artists that inspire her.
Beyond art and fashion, she's had a fascinating life. She's travelled to the North Pole, and to the Galapagos Islands. "The only place I've seen a cactus, a flamingo and a penguin in the same location," she says.
Give us a few details and we'll get back
