Jim Routon considers next-door neighbor Hezekiah Darbon his "part-time kid."
That close bond was apparent when the 7-year-old emerged from the debris of his elementary school and leaped into the first responder's arms.
"I think I needed that embrace or that hug as much as he did," Routon said. "He just ran up and said, 'I'm so glad to see you Big Dog.'"
That's their nicknames for each other. Routon is Big Dog and Hezekiah is Little Dog, and they enjoy playing basketball and football together.
When the EF-5 tornado reduced Oklahoma City's Briarwood Elementary School to rubble, Routon rushed into the chaos and destruction. Hezekiah's parents couldn't get there immediately. The student was in shock. His arms were stiff as a board and he wouldn't move because he was so frightened.
A photographer captured a child leaping into Routon's arms. He cradles his 7-year-old neighbor's head with one hand and hugs his waist with the other, his face flushed with emotion.
The raw moments between the two "partners" would be beamed around the world via the Associated Press wire service. The photo went viral on Facebook and Twitter.
Oklahoma City newspaper photographer Paul Hellstern snapped his shutter just minutes after the tornado pummeled Briarwood.
In that fraction of a second, Hellstern captured the courage and selflessness that overcame adults at the school in the moments after the Monday devastation.
"I'd just arrived, probably five minutes after the tornado passed and came into that neighborhood and noticed that school there and children pouring out," he told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "It was pandemonium with children crying everywhere, bloody teachers and so forth."
Cameras ready, the photographer for The Oklahoman, the Oklahoma City area's only daily newspaper, ran as quickly as he could to capture images from the scene.
Routon had no idea someone captured the moment he found Hezekiah alive.
Hellstern said he was amazed by the adults' response, especially those who gathered their composure to bring children out of the school, then returned to the rubble to search for more.
Police and emergency officials soon joined them in the search. Hellstern said he was moved to see distraught children and parents reunite at the school of about 700 students in Moore, a southern suburb of the Oklahoma capital.
"The emotion of seeing parents come together with their children for that first moment, finding them alive and still well, was exciting," Hellstern said.
Hezekiah, a first grader, described the picture to Routon: "I knew that you were going to pick me up, so I just jumped. And I just started hugging you really hard. I was crying a little bit. And I was happy that I survived."
Routon couldn't believe what he saw.
"It was so chaotic. We just weren't sure, the school was pretty much devastated and mostly destroyed. We weren't sure if anyone was going to come out alive," Routon said. "To go over and see one of my favorite neighbor's child emerge, it was awesome. It was just an amazing feeling."
"He was just laying there. His arms were straight as a board. He wouldn't move he was so shocked and scared," said Routon's daughter, Sheyna. "They had never been through anything like that in their lives."
After the tornado hit, Jim Routon and his daughters, Sheyna and Jaycie, ran toward the school to help.
"Had a lot of cut and bruises. One lady had a pole through her leg, that was scary," Jaycie Routon said.
Instead of panicking the family helped calm the terrified students.
"To see my daughter sprinting to help other kids. After that was over, I just grabbed them both squeezed and hugged them. I told them how important it was and how proud I was of them being so selfless and willing to help others," Jim Routon said.
The girls say someone taught them well.
"Because he acts real tough to everyone, but to see his soft side come out, I was very, very proud of my dad. Very proud of him," Sheyna Routon said.
Jim Routon said it's hard to believe a photograph of him and his neighbor is among the iconic images of the storm seen far beyond his state's borders. But the stories of recovery that photos of the storm tell are inspiring to many Oklahomans, too, he said.
"It actually helps us, you know, in the healing process," Routon said. "And helps us to learn and see that ... we have to depend on one another to get through these types of things."
The two were reunited on Good Morning America Wednesday morning. And their special bond jumped off the television screen as Routon clasped his arms around Hezekiah's waist and the boy held onto his friend's hands during the entire interview with anchor Robin Roberts.
"It was very special, just to, when we came on the scene and to see everything, all the devastation, just to come on and to not expect anything good to come from what I saw and then to see my 'Little Dog' here run up," Routon told Roberts.
"It was pretty satisfying to see something familiar and he wasn't hurt, wasn't scratched, bruises or anything like that," he said.
And he thanks God that no one died inside that school that day.
"We're very blessed. We feel very, very blessed," Routon said.
He said Oklahoma residents will depend on each other to get through the coming difficult days during the recovery.
"That's the Oklahoma spirit. Oklahomans are resilient," he said.

3 September 2012
Business leaders in the cleantech sector remain very positive about their prospects for growth over the next 12 months according to the latest research from the Grant Thornton International Business Report (IBR). The global survey finds the sector expanding rapidly despite pervading economic uncertainties such as the eurozone crisis.
The IBR survey indicates that net 68% of cleantech businesses expect to increase revenues over the next 12 months compared with 52% of businesses globally. Similarly, net 62% expect profits to rise compared with just 38% globally. Moreover, cleantech leaders appear to be investing in the long-term growth of their businesses: 52% expect to increase R&D spend over the next 12 months and 51% plan to invest more in plant & machinery, both well above the global averages.
This optimism is borne out by the growth rates experienced in the sector over recent years. According to a recent WWF report , the sector globally expanded by 31% per annum in 2009 and 2010. Although it slowed to 10% in 2011, this is still well above average GDP growth rates. In China the sector grew from $17.5 billion to $71.3 billion between 2008 and 2011, a rise of 77%. In the United States, the sector expanded by 17% between 2010 and 2011 to $46.3 billion.
Nathan Goode, global leader cleantech at Grant Thornton said: "The cleantech sector continues to demonstrate remarkable rates of growth, with economies such as China increasingly playing a leading role. Global economic uncertainty is weighing on short-term business growth prospects but the data suggests that dynamic businesses in the cleantech sector are willing to invest in bold growth plans to boost competitiveness.
"Demand for cleantech products and services is fairly robust. China, the United States and Europe account today for around 50% of total global output, but their share of cleantech output is nearer to 75% so we would expect them to drive future innovation and growth."
The major constraint on expansion for cleantech businesses emerges as regulations/red tape, cited by 41% of businesses, compared to the all-sector average of 34%. A lack of skilled workers is cited as a growth constraint by a further 38% of businesses in the sector, ten percentage points up on the all-sector average. This scarcity of talent perhaps explains why 79% of businesses are offering workers a pay rise over the next 12 months, compared with just 68% of all businesses.
Nathan Goode added: "Cleantech is still a relatively young sector so it not surprising to see innovation outgrowing talent. However, with unemployment rates high, particularly in many mature markets, rapid growth in the sector clearly offers an opportunity for economies to boost employment and output.
"Governments can help in this regard through targeted industry and energy policies. For example in South Korea, R&D and manufacturing incentives as well as energy efficiency and renewable energy targets have been introduced to attract investment."

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Oct. 7, 2013) – Rutgers field hockey freshman GK Shevaun Hayes (Melbourne, Australia) has been named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday.
"Shevaun was outstanding this weekend," said head coach Meredith Long. "Not only did she win the game for us in shootouts against Villanova, she also shut out nationally-ranked Drexel on Sunday."
Hayes did not give up a goal in 150:00 minutes of play. The freshman recorded a shutout against No. 16 Drexel (Oct. 6), making a career-high nine saves in the contest. She also notched the first shutout of her career against the Dragons. At Villanova on Oct. 4, Hayes picked up the win after coming in to start the second half in a game that went to a shootout, holding the Wildcats scoreless in 80:00 minutes of play.
Hayes earned the first Rutgers BIG EAST Player of the Week honor since classmate Lisa Patrone (Washington Township, N.J.) was named the conference's Offensive Player of the Week on Oct. 8, 2012. She is the third Scarlet Knight to earn the recognition this season, as junior Sophie Wright (Devizes, United Kingdom) was honored on Sept. 2 and senior GK Sarah Stuby (Roxbury, N.J.) was recognized on Sept. 9.

Milwaukee is no longer where offense goes to die
Category: Bucks Player Features
There hasn't been a question about what the Milwaukee Bucks needed to do to improve over the past few seasons. Virtually every night, they help opponents to below average shooting percentages and point totals. Stops on stops on stops. More often than not though, Milwaukee found a way to be even worse offensively. Like, almost historically bad.
Simple enough. An easy to diagnose problem with a reasonable fix. Improve the offense and the wins will come rolling in.
So the Bucks improved their offense during the off-season, hoped for good health and waited to reap the benefits.
Like so many good plans, this one has gone awry. While the Bucks have improved from the 30th (also known as: the worst) ranked offense in the league to 15th, their defense has suffered a drop just as dramatic. Last year's 4th ranked defense is this year's 19th ranked defense. Given those equal rates of improvement and decline, it's no wonder that after 29 games, Milwaukee has the exact same record they did last season: 12-17.
So what's the problem on defense?
"There's breakdowns everywhere," Drew Gooden said after Wednesday night's frustrating loss to the previously 5-23 New Orleans Hornets. "There's breakdowns at the point of the ball. There's breakdown at the second line of defense with the bigs helping."
Gooden was asked if it's more of a mental or physical thing at this point and quickly pointed out the mental aspect.
"It's more 'want to,'" he said. "It's on the players to go out there and execute defensively and offensively."
Whether the Bucks want to be the best, the most average or the worst defensive team, there's no question that the physical loss of Andrew Bogut has been tremendous. While Gooden did an admirable job on Dwight Howard Monday, neither he or any of the Bucks other bigs can rotate as well or be a shot-blocker like Bogut. When Bogut has been on the court this season, Milwaukee has given up 97.8 points per 100 possessions. When he's been off, the Bucks have allowed 108.2 points per 100 possessions.
"It's tough not having Bogut out there, he's one of the top shot-blockers in the league," Gooden said. "So we have to be that much better defensively. On the ball and off the ball."
Bogut's absence also has put more strain on Milwaukee's perimeter defenders. Their gambles are probably still paying off at about the same rate, but without Bogut behind them, they are being penalized much more when they fail to get a steal and have a man beat them into the paint.
"We've had two or three guys that are way too risky on their men and gambling a little bit too much," Skiles said before Wednesday's game. "Normally it's a one in 10 proposition against a team of any quality. If you're going for a steal 10 times, you're getting one. Too many times something bad is gonna happen. We're talking about it, we're trying to get that a little more under control, be a little more solid."
Given the current state of both the team and the defense, Luc Mbah a Moute's analysis of why Milwaukee has seen so many more breakdowns this season was probably most adept.
"I don't know, to tell you the truth," he said.
That seems to be the biggest problem right now. Brandon Jennings has cited a lack of passion in general and Skiles has talked about the lack of aggression he's seen, but the team seems to be struggling to identify where the biggest gaps they have defensively are. It's tough to plug a hole if there's so much water in the boat that you can't figure out where it's coming in. The sheer amount of defensive problems the Bucks are having right now combined with the lack of practice time to fix them is wreaking havoc.
The off-season offensive upgrades have kind of worked out. Mike Dunleavy has been good and both Shaun Livingston and Beno Udrih have had their moments. Gooden's healthy season has certainly been a net gain on offense too. But the only way those upgrades mattered was if the Bucks were still one of the best defensive teams in the league.
Until they figure out a way to get back in the top five defensively, the Bucks are just another average offensive team that isn't getting the stops it needs.

Do'ers do.. Complainers talk about what they should have done
It's time for some Hammond magic. Maybe trade Beno and Jax to get some younger talent and maybe get that 2nd rounder back. This time around though, make sure we have a personality or two coming to town who wants to be here.
@MatthewSchwendinger i dont think anyone "wants" to be here, as far as most NBA players are concerned Milwaukee may as well be Siberia
@Teddddd I know the truth hurts, but I dont see why players are so against Milwaukee or any small market. I love to cheer for the underdog, if I was a player, I would too. Oh well.
Trades that would never happen but make some sense:
Portland Gets:
S. Jack
Blazers can play Jack over the slumping Wes Matthews (assuming Jack would be reinvigorated). And front court depth with Ersan and Gooden.
Milwaukee Gets:
N. Batum
M. Camby
Bucks get a quality young player in Batum that is a free agent but who I think they could resign and Camby who would be our short term Bogut replacement.
Memphis Gets:
D. Gooden
Grizz get a player to play PF until Z-Bo is back.
New Jersey Gets:
S. Jackson
Nets get some weird form of Dwight bait.
Milwaukee Gets:
O.J. Mayo
M. Okur
Bucks get a SG that is a SG and eat an expiring contract. Why not rebuild every year (sarcasm)
#3 — This trade is total BS but let me dream
Utah Gets:
OJ Mayo
B. Jennings
D. Gooden
Memphis Gets:
Paul Milsap
Milwaukee Gets:
D. Favors
A. Burks
M. Speights
This would be a total start from scratch trade, though if this would happen the Bucks would probably want to ship out Jax as well.
@Wombat02 I really wouldnt want to lost Jennings, but I'd take #3 in a heartbeat! Speights has really impressed me this year! I doubt Utah would give up Favors and Burks though.
@MatthewSchwendinger I doubt it either. I was just trying to get some great young talent on the team.

This Old House
Barrington Project, Part 2 of 10Series Website »
Episode Guide »
Host Kevin O'Connor arrives to find builder Andy Tiplady with the house wide open, his foundation in place and framing underway. The new open floor plan requires structural steel that gets bolted and then welded in place. With the steel installed and high winds already kicking up, Andy and his crew button up the house for the impending bad weather, which turns out to be Hurricane Irene. At 82 mph, Barrington clocks the highest winds in New England, and Kevin returns to finds roads closed, power lines down and trees crushing houses in the neighborhood. After some clean up, the crew gets back to work framing the second floor using the proper structural hardware like hold downs and hurricane clips.

3 top buys for novice investors
These picks in oil, autos and finance offer something important for beginners.
Are you a novice investor wondering which stocks to buy first? Or perhaps you're just looking to put your money to work? Either way, these three stocks are perfect choices for beginners.
Cenovus Energy (CVE) has dipped in recent weeks before bouncing higher alongside the market's surge. Oil prices have firmed up, but even so, CVE isn't a story about near-term earnings. Investing in CVE means investing in long-term growth from Canada's Alberta oil sands as world oil supplies continue to tighten. Production from oil sands increased 14% last quarter and now equals conventional oil production. At a time when many oil companies are expected to have trouble replacing reserves, CVE is set up for double-digit production growth over the next 10 years.
In addition, the stock is attractively valued at just a little over 12 times earnings estimates of $2.35 a share, making it a bargain.
Johnson Controls (JCI) is another quality company with a history of maintaining profitability in tough economic conditions. Longer term, JCI is well-positioned to grow from increased auto usage in emerging markets and the need to conserve energy -- sales in JCI's building-efficiency unit increased 14% last quarter.
The current consensus estimate for fiscal year 2012 earnings of $3 per share may end up too high if the global economy struggles. But with the stock trading below $30, this is largely baked into the share price already. Johnson Controls also raised its quarterly dividend 13% to 18 cents a share. The resulting yield of 2.3% adds to its attraction.
Evercore Partners (EVR)has expanded its role as an emerging leader in merger and acquisitions (M&A) advisory services by participating in many top deals this year, including AT&T's (T) potential acquisition of T-Mobile. I expect to see more of this as Evercore continues to recruit many leading bankers away from bigger firms. Low interest rates should keep M&A attractive because corporations can feel comfortable putting their large cash balances to work and try to gain greater efficiencies in a low-growth environment.
One other interesting note: EVR was in the news recently when it was announced that the U.S. Postal Service had retained it to help with a restructuring. Evercore Co-Chairman Roger Altman is well-connected politically, and federal and state government agencies seeking assistance in streamlining operations could be an additional source of revenues for the company.

I don't get the title of this article. In what way are these three stocks especially suited for novice investors? How do these stocks "offer something important for beginners?" Sure, these might be good stock picks, I haven't done any research on them, but what makes a stock good for beginners in particular? Perhaps these have low volatility or other such characteristics, but those features could be desired by a lot of experts trying to get a balanced portfolio.
My first impression after reading the title and then finding nothing in the article saying why these were good for beginners was that this is a high profile (front page of MSN) pump and dump scheme: get new investors who don't know any better to put money into these stocks to raise the price so the author (or someone paying her off) can sell their shares at a profit before these stocks crash. By giving it this title, it causes most experts to not even look at the article, allowing it to fly under the radar. I wasn't going to read the article because I don't consider myself a novice, but I decided to read it when I realized how odd the title sounded.
I suppose the real reason for the title is the more mundane explanation that the author wanted the title to be something a little more interesting than "Three Potentially Good Stock Picks," and didn't think through the implications of the title she choose.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are the latest to join the ranks of celebrity couples expecting a child, and if Kunis is anything like her famous female counterparts, we fully expect her to stay hot, sexy, and in-shape during the pregnancy. We support women who are preparing to bring another life into the world in any physical state, but it's hard to ignore that so many celebs go to extreme lengths to keep their bodies tight during the process. Check out our gallery above for a look look at some of the lovely ladies who remained impeccably fit while carrying, and watch the video below to see Kristin Cavallari explain how she got her body back after giving birth.

Josh Duhamel And Fergie Are Having A Baby!
"Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!!" tweeted Fergie excitedly earlier today, confirming that she's pregnant. This is the first child for the couple — the Fergs and her exceedingly handsome husband Josh Duhamel — and we can't wait to hear more details. Is that both of them Photoshopped into the instagram picture attached to her message? Is this going to be a Black Eyed Pea oe Pea-ette? When is she due? Possible baby names? Also, this baby has some mad awesome genes so he or she is going to be gorgeous. More importantly, Fergie just gave us the cutest hashtag, ever, attached to the tweet, attached below. We're sending a huge congratulations to the new parents-to-be! Read more…
Are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Really Expecting The 7th Member Of Their Child Army?
Get ready world, because the Brangelina army might be growing even larger. Star Magazine is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are expecting their 7th (!) child. A few more and they'll have enough for their own softball team! Angie gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne in July 2008, and eldest Shiloh was born way back in May 2006. Considering the fact that they've also adopted three children, it's safe to assume that these superstars are really in to the whole parenting thing.
"Angelina has been talking about having another child for years now," a source tells Star. "But Brad kept putting his foot down because of their intense schedules and chaotic lifestyle." Well now she's apparently pregnant, so Brad must either have had a change of heart, or a really poor grasp on biology. "She had morning sickness and didn't want to draw attention to herself in public," the insider continued. "She's focusing on the other children right now, trying to prepare them for the new baby." In (questionable) fact, she intensely believes that the new bundle will be born a boy. "Shiloh has even determined that the baby's name must be John," they offer in weirdly specific detail.
In the December 2011 issue of Marie Claire, Angelina did hint that another pregnancy might not be far off. "Nothing is planned at the moment, but we just don't know. I could end up pregnant." But somehow we're going to need more than Angelina just keeping a low profile to fully believe this story…for now.

Shakira's Maternity Portrait With Gerard Pique Is Not Only Super Hot, But For A Good Cause Too!
There's been sporadic news about Shakira through her pregnancy. We've seen adorable pictures of her baby bump, but not as many as we'd like. More, please? We've also been punked with a fake birth announcement by her hot footballer, babydaddy, boyfriend, Gerard Pique. Now, the beauteous couple has combined their gorgeous, soon-to-be-parental coupledom for a pre-natal portrait that is drop-dead amazo, and a call for a good cause. Shakira sent a tweet out yesterday that read, "We'd like to celebrate the imminent birth of our first child with all of you." The picture you see of them above was attached to the tweet and the link led to a beautifully illustrated UNICEF page that said, "Join Shakira & Gerard Pique's world baby shower to help UNICEF save children's lives." Donate, and you'll receive a personalized thank you from the couple. It's a lovely gesture, we think. The singer's added message also reads, "To celebrate the arrival of our first child, we hope that, in his name, other less privileged children in the world can have their basic needs covered through gifts and donations. Thank you for sharing this unforgettable moment with us. Every expectant parent around the world shares all the same hopes and dreams for their children that we do," adds Shakira. "Yet many don't share the same opportunities. Together we know we can change that." Anyone else want to hug Shaki, right about now? We do!

Amber Rose Takes The Bait: Calls Wiz Her "Husband" For TMZ's Cameras
There is so much weird going on in this story, guys. First of all, if you watch the video above, apparently the guys behind the camera bought Amber Rose ice cream to tempt her to talk to them — making it feel like she's a zoo animal they're tempting to come to the fence to say hi. Not that we'd be able to refuse Ninja Turtles ice cream either. So then, as the eight-months pregnant model accepts their treat, she says, "My husband loves Ninja Turtles!" And immediately TMZ explodes in a round of speculation about when and where Amber and Wiz Khalifa eloped.
Well, maybe they did legally tie the knot — as Hollywood Life points out, Wiz told Hot 97 last year that he and Amber wanted to make things legal before their son was born, but then have a real wedding afterwards, when she can fit into a dress and drink. Or maybe she's just messing with them. Or maybe using a figure of speech, calling him her husband for fun, particularly in the context of something silly like TMNT.
Either way, we are going to go steal Amber's wardrobe now. That "Kapow!" dress is way cuter than anything we've ever seen in the maternity department. As is this cute dress (and silly hat) she wore at her East Coast baby shower. (Here's the one from her L.A. shower.)

Jessica Simpson Describing Pregnancy On Leno Makes Us Actually Look Forward To Her Sitcom
In her life and career, Jessica Simpson has had some hits — her fashion empire, that one Nancy Sinatra cover, Newlyweds, baby Maxwell — and misses — Nick Lachey, John Mayer, Dukes of Hazzard, the rest of her music. But we are feeling really optimistic about her next big project: a sitcom based on her life for NBC. We're sure it's no accident that the day NBC announced they were shooting a pilot for untitled series, she made a very cute appearance on The Tonight Show (on NBC, natch). As she told Jay Leno about her second accidental pregnancy, she was not Chicken of the Sea-level cute, but she told the kind of sweet, self-deprecating story that would fit quite nicely into a not-too-groundbreaking half-hour comedy.
Asked if pregnancy number two was planned, she responded, "Oh, no! Apparently it was part of God's plan for my life," she laughed. "I was extremely shocked. I was going through a lot of hormonal changes trying to get back to the old vibrant Jessica. It was kind of like a one-night stand. And it happened all over again." Read more…
Is Kanye West Making Kim Kardashian Leave Reality Television Because Of Their Baby?
Is it the end of the road for Kim Kardashian's reality TV show career? Of course not, "momager" Kris Jenner would never let that happen, but it sounds like Kim's baby daddy Kanye West is trying hard to make that a reality. Although he's relatively tolerant of the famous family's camera-friendly outlook on life, an insider close to the couple tell Hollywood Life that it's not the life he wants for his child.
"I know deep down, [Kanye] isn't trying to pimp out his baby like that," the source says, creating a truly disturbing image in the process. "He and Kim got way more than enough money to take care of 100 kids if they want to have that many. But he know that when it comes to Kim and her family, especially that mother of hers, it's all business and that show is how they make their money. So he juggling all this [stuff] in his head right now, but he ain't all hyped about it yet because [the filming] hasn't gone down yet."
The friend goes on to remind us that Yeezy is a dude who does his own thing, regardless of what other people might think. "Kanye is a man who acts on his own! People need to remember that." This is not exactly news to most of us. Remember the whole Taylor Swift VMAs thing? Or that Katrina telethon? Or…pretty much his entire career?
Kate Middleton's Baby Is Due In July – And Yes, There's Just One Of Them
While most celeb-obsessed eyes are still nursing real or vicarious Golden Globes-related hangovers, we thought we'd bring you a bit of news from the U.K., namely, that St. James Palace has decided to reveal Kate Middleton's due date. "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in July," said a statement released to Us Weekly.
This announcement confirms two things for us: 1) She's not having twins, as some had speculated due to the prevalence of extreme morning sickness among women carrying multiples. And 2) her hospitalization forced the royals to reveal her pregnancy about a month before they ideally would have liked to. If she's due in July, she was very early into her first month or two of pregnancy when they made the announcement.
But the great news is that Kate is doing much better these days. "The Duchess's condition continues to improve since her stay in hospital last month," the royal statement says. And now we can all begin to buy those baby gifts for the happy couple. We just hope they don't invite these guys to the shower.

Go For Gold Or Sweet On Silver? Kristen Bell Vs Emily Blunt At The Golden Globes
We love a dose of precious metal especially when it's done so, so right. We're talking the colors and not pure metal, though, which is even more interesting. Last night's Golden Globes brought us the gifts of Kristen Bell and Emily Blunt who wore silver and gold, respectively, in a manner that invites spontaneous sighs of approval. Special mention has to be given to Kristen who is a couple of months pregnant and has taken awards show maternity dressing to a new high. Her silvery Jenny Packham Spring 2013 gown flowed over her like a dream and that crystal embroidery over the bodice and neckline is ethereal. Similar props have to be given for the makeup and hair. Emily's embroidered gold Michael Kors gown — hurrah for the cut-outs — also floored us. The touch of ruby through her jewelry, highlighted as she wore her hair up in a bun, is such an unusual choice but it works so well.
While the looked amazo head-on, here's the back-view. Kristen's crystal trail adds the extra bit of glamour, while Emily's cut-outs with the simple body-con silhouette keeps it minimal, yet incredibly sexy. Bravo, ladies!

Evan Rachel Wood Is Pregnant With Her First Child, And It's Not Marilyn Manson's
Evan Rachel Wood is having a baby…and it's not Marilyn Manson's! Sorry, when we first heard the news we regressed to a few years ago when Wood was engaged to the shock rocker, and the thought of his spawn caused us to have flashbacks to Rosemary's Baby. But then we remembered that the 25-year-old actress married Jamie Bell in October, and we chilled out a bit. And now the couple are having their first child together! Yay! And it's not Manson's. Double yay!
"Evan Rachel Wood and husband Jamie Bell confirmed that they are expecting their first child later this year," a rep for the pair told Us Weekly. "The couple is thrilled." This is not the first baby news for the newlyweds, who met on the set of Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends" back in 2005. Rumors were floating around that they were expecting soon after their wedding, but Evan (or is it Evan Rachel?) shot down the reports soon after. "Sorry to disappoint. But no baby on the way here." Now we're so happy to report the opposite. Congrats to the happy couple! Check out the soon-to-be-parents being adorable in the gallery below.

|1057: Klout
Title text: Though please do confirm that it's actually *me* on Klout first, and not one of my friends trying to get me punched. The great thing about this douchebag deadman switch is that I will never dare trigger it.
Klout is a site that seeks to measure your "influence" on social media networks. Users grant other users +Ks for certain things. They also give away things to the users with the highest Klout scores. Universally, it is regarded as meaning absolutely nothing. The people that are really wrapped up in the score are typically not well-liked. An usage example of its use is ironically, like giving someone a +K for knowledge about "Pitbull". (The Bud Light promoter and producer/rapper/musician, etc, not the type of dog.)
The character appears to be Randall.[Citation Needed]
Person: I'd like to ask a favor. If someday, in the future, we meet in person,
Person: And if, as of that day, I've interacted with Klout in any way except to opt out, I want you to punch me in the face without warning.
Person: This may sound like a joke, so let me be clear: I am dead serious*. Ignore anything I say retracting this. Thank you.add a comment!

You can get a free lung test tomorrow as part of the American Cancer Society's Great American Smokeout. South Georgia Medical Center will conduct the tests. Officials there urge you to have your lungs looked at, even if you are not a tobacco user.
Each year smoking kills more than 440,000 Americans and nearly 50,000 non-smokers die from second-hand smoke. It's a deadly habit and South Georgia Medical Center is trying to help people quit.
"Lung disease is very deceptive, some times as we just think as we age that we just get older and feel more tired, most of the time we find out that it creeps up on you so much that by the time you realize you have a lung problem you're already at moderate to moderate/severe disease process," said Gary Voght, a pulmonary function technologist.
Tomorrow medical officials will perform free lung tests and blood pressure screenings at the Valdosta Mall. Voght says because we live in the tobacco belt some people don't think twice about smoking or chewing tobacco.
"It's more acceptable down here in the south because they grow it, they manufacture it, its just more prevalent. Its more available and its even cheaper; if you go to the cities it'll cost you almost twice as much to buy a pack of cigarettes as it does here," said Voght.
Medical technicians don't even need fancy equipment to see if you're harming your lungs, they can use a small breathing device to test your lung function and the results can be alarming.
Marie Sims, SGMC's Community Health Promotions Coordinator said,"I think the biggest thing we notice is surprise, they are truly not aware, they've become so accustomed to their habit because it is an addiction, that they don't realize what they're doing to their bodies."
The hospital hopes tomorrow's free screenings will help a lot of tobacco users kick the habit.
The lung tests will be tomorrow at the Valdosta Mall from 3 to 6 p.m.

From last week's election coverage in the US to global conversations about the economy, it feels like everyone is asking, "What does this mean in terms of Millennials?" Headlines from the last week declare Why Millennials Won't Become Corporate Serfs, Why You Shouldn't Ignore the Millennial Generation and 5 Reasons Millennials Are Going to Save the World (We Hope).
It's no surprise that with growing focus on Gen Y and its impact on shaping brands' relationships with consumers, workplace environments and the economy, that contemporary leadership and empowering Millennials was front and center at this year's World Business Forum. In reflecting on the event and recent headlines, it's clear that there is a tension between traditional models and emerging trends.
What resonates now in looking back on the two days of discussion from diverse panels of speakers with an audience of 4,000 professionals from across the globe, is that the way we frame conversations about leadership and discuss the goals of Millennials do not always feel totally compatible. And here's why…
To a speaker, attributes of the ideal leader centered around things like humility, long-term perspective, tenacity. Principles forged and celebrated in my grandparents' GI Generation, aka "The Greatest Generation," were called out again and again as the fundamental traits that make a great leader today.
Occasionally more contemporary skills – such as collaboration or improvisation - were cited as necessary in order to deal with the turbulence that comprises our new normal:
"The military has this term VUCA – which stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity… Today's leaders must come up with improvisational ways of achieving their missions amidst turbulence… This requires moving from information to knowledge, from knowledge to understanding, from understanding to wisdom [in order] to make smart choices and walk on the higher path." -Nancy Koehn, James E. Robison Professor at Harvard Business School
But for the most part, advice and anecdotes were all about traditional values, like "we-over-me" and postponing gratification.
Yet when the topic shifted to Millenials, the managerial and organizational attributes cited as necessary for attracting and retaining them took on a very different tone. Recognizing superstar performance rather than tenure, providing Millenials with new professional experiences every two years (minimum), acknowledging effort even when the result is failure were some of the policies posited as absolute necessities. Even Jack Welch, once famous for automatically chopping the bottom-performing 10 percent of a team, is singing a different tune:
"…screw the annual review systems…give them raises anytime they do something that builds on your stated strategy. It's about creating fun places to work…creating a bubble."
-Jack Welch, author and former Chairman & CEO of GE
After two days of this back and forth - between traditional values born of war and strife years (Leaders) and the attract/reward systems being set up to retain a participation-trophy-generation (Millenials) - the cognitive dissonance became almost maddening. How would the prescribed environments ever possibly work to shape future leaders?
The answer might lie in the other single thing every speaker mentioned: Purpose.
Many organizations have recently come to acknowledge that they are the custodians of social welfare, be it the welfare of their communities, customers, employees, environment, etc. They've embraced being involved in a social contract and have decided to vocally and visibly honor that contract.
Purpose need not be that high climb in order to have a capital "P." Roughly defined it can be any common, publicly stated and tenaciously activated goal that involved parties acknowledge they could not achieve without each other. It's simply about having a goal worth putting your name on and proudly saying, "I helped do that." And that can be a traditional business goal:
"We must remain humble… We must look around and ask, 'Who is better than us?' Management's job is to identify gaps [in company performance] and identify how to close the gap… [We do this by prioritizing] alignment over consensus… and creating employees who are a long-term, five or ten year, bunch of owners versus a short-term, selfish bunch of professionals."
-Carlos Brito, CEO of Anheuser-Busch InBev
If, as Jeb Bush shared, Purpose bigger than individual recognition, and in the interest of the greater social good, was able to bridge the ideological conflict between Tip and Ronald, perhaps it's strong enough to guide all parties within corporations over this generational chasm. At least for a long enough period of time that the younger generation can start to shape the ideal future leadership qualities, in a way that is more resonant with contemporary experiences and expectations. Qualities that might give rise to a new Greatest Generation.

Interbrand New York this year has launched Interbrand's World Changing Speakers Series, hosting industry leaders to speak at our office about their work. Inaugurated to provide a forum for knowledge sharing with practitioners working at the highest levels of their profession, to date seven speakers have joined us who represent cultural movers whose work intersected branding along non-traditional vectors.
To announce upcoming speakers to both internal and external audiences, reflecting the ongoing nature of the series in a unique and creative way, Interbrand designed a series of six silk-screened posters that evolved over the course of the World Changing Speaker Series events. The posters served two purposes — to announce each lecture, and to be presented as limited edition gifts to each speaker.
As a metaphor for the accumulation of knowledge, the content for each lecture poster was screened over the previous lecture poster, creating a colorful artifact of the series. The emphasis on craft and time-intensive process of creating the posters inherently communicated the importance placed on learning and knowledge sharing as an agency endeavor.
Through the layering of simple elements it was possible to produce six different posters on a single sheet of paper, thus reducing the materials by 1/6th. This allowed each poster to have a lifespan of 5 months (as opposed to one week) and helped to drive anticipation for each new speaker. The World Changing Speaker Series posters are made from 100% post consumer waste recycled paper.

Lauren Bush, FEED Projects
Lauren Bush is a fashion model and the founder of FEED Projects. Lauren shared the story of how after personally witnessing the effects of hunger while traveling the globe, she was inspired to found FEED and serve as Chief FEEDer. Taking cues from the burlap bags that charities were using to distribute food, bags were designed to capture that practicality and invoke the spirit of the work being done, yet appeal to savvy, chic consumers. She said in teaming with brands such as Godiva and Bergdorf Goodman to offer unique bags, it marries luxury with charity. She noted, luxury is "moving away from shiny things to handmade goods" that tell stories and do good. Messages get out there and the products appeal to consumers. The demographics of FEED bag consumers runs the gamut of price points and age groups. Lauren said in reflecting on FEED's five year anniversary, "I'm glad I didn't know the rules of retail then. I would have been discouraged." But she has created a unique product and every FEED product sold has a corresponding, measurable donation. To date, FEED has provided nearly 60 million meals globally through the UN World Food Program. Lauren spoke to us on Wednesday, April 25, 2012.
Elliot Cohen, CityMaps
Elliot Cohen, founder and CEO of CityMaps, an award-winning visual map of every storefront in your city complete with all the local, real-time information you care about, spoke to us on May 4, 2012. In March 2012, CityMaps was selected to be the "Official Tourism App of New York.' CityMaps will be the cornerstone of the Department of Tourism's mobile strategy on a go-forward basis.
James Slezak, Purpose
James Slezak of Purpose joined us May 18th, 2012. Purpose creates social movements by deploying the collective power of millions of citizens and consumers to help solve some of the world's biggest problems. James and Marilia will be leading a discussion on "Building 21st century movements for social change." James addressed the idea that in creating successful campaigns for social movements they've found it important to question if the "viral and meme mentality" is "enough." He observed, "Getting people to view is nice, but does it build a commitment?" The key is to move people from passive interest in a movement to active participation, taking people from "low barrier" and "move them up the scale of action." Linking thoughtful actions to real world change is the goal. How to do it? James noted, "experimentation is the name of the game."
We are taking a hiatus from Memorial Day, May 25th, 2012, until Labor Day, returning on September 7th, 2012.

Long Description to add
Boeuf Bourguignon Easy
No fiddly browning of the meat here: just throw it all into a casserole and three hours later you'll be swooning at the wonderful aromas that escape from this classic stew.
Baked Cannelloni
This clever recipe uses the principles of making lasagne and adapts these to cannelloni, using no-soak lasagne, minced pork and bechamel.
Beef in Cider
A classic boeuf bourguignon, but made with cider instead of red wine. Although this is a frugal recipe, it's so good you could easily serve it when entertaining.
An Authentic Ragu Bolognese
As Delia says, this recipe has plenty of imitators but all too often it's disappointing. Not here: rich, meaty, packed with Italian flavour, it does take a long time to cook, but that's the secret of a perfect Bolognese.
All-American Half-pounders
There really is no need to buy burgers when it's this easy to make your own: Delia rustles up a authentic version of this American classic, which will go down well with adults and children alike.
Lasagne al Forno
Time and again this classic Italian recipe appears in our top 10 of the most cooked recipes on the site. As Delia says, there are many imitations of this gorgeous dish but this is the real deal. Serve with a crisp salad.
Caribbean Pepperpot
With its explosion of colour and flavours, a spicy mix of Caribbean spices, coconut milk, beef and vegetables brings this vivid, tasty dish to life!
Mini Yorkshire Puddings with Rare Beef and Horseradish and Mustard Crème Fraîche Sauce
These stunning little canapes are heaven on a plate! Cold Yorkshire pudding may not sound that alluring but add rare roast beef and you have the most brilliant combination. A party must!
Italian Braised Beef with Gremolata
A more English take on ossobuco (using beef instead of veal) this sumptuous recipe also includes a very useful recipe for cheat's risotto Milanese, allowing you to rustle up a quick accompaniment to this slow-cooked casserole.
Beef in Barolo with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
Cooking meat in wine adds flavour and prevents it from drying out, which is why this recipe is such a failsafe when entertaining. The Parmesan mashed potatoes are a wonderful accompaniment and keep the Italian vibe going.
