text: content April 21, 2009 Curcumin reduces adipose tissue formation in mice The May, 2009 issue of the Journal of Nutrition reported the discovery of researchers at Tufts University in Boston of a reduction in the formation of adipose (fat) tissue and the blood vessels that feed it in mice given high fat diets supplemented with curcumin, the major polyphenol in the spice turmeric. In their introduction to the article, Mohsen Meydani and colleagues at Tufts' Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging explain that "the growth and expansion of adipose tissues, similar to the growth of cancerous tumors, requires recruitment of new blood vessels or angiogenesis. In adipose tissue, this is mediated by adipose tissue secretion of adipokines, including leptin, adiponectin, resistin, visfatin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, interleukin-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Therefore, in addition to reducing energy intake, the inhibition of angiogenesis in adipose tissue can be a strategy to prevent adipose tissue growth and obesity." The researchers first investigated the effect of curcumin in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells to which adipokines had been added to stimulate angiogenesis. They found that the ability of curcumin to inhibit angiogenesis was partly due to the reduced expression of VEGF-alpha. In another experiment, Dr Meydani's team incubated preadipocytes (immature fat cells) with curcumin and observed significant inhibition of differentiation of the cells into mature adipocytes. They then divided 18 mice to receive a control diet containing 4 percent fat by weight, a high fat diet containing 22 percent fat, or a high fat diet supplemented with 500 milligrams curcumin per kilogram diet for 12 weeks. At the end of the treatment period, mice that received the high fat diet had gained more weight than those that received the low fat diet; however, the effect was reduced in mice that received curcumin even though the same amount of food was consumed. The authors attribute this reduction to a decrease in total body fat in the curcumin-fed animals. Mice that received curcumin also had lower liver weights than those that received the high fat diet without curcumin. Additionally, curcumin-treated mice experienced a reduction in VEGF, indicating reduced angiogenesis, as well as significantly lower microvessel density in adipose tissue. Furthermore, serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, and free fatty acids were lower in mice that received curcumin compared with both groups of unsupplemented animals. "In conclusion, dietary curcumin is the major polyphenol found in turmeric with no known toxicity," the authors write. "In addition to several reported pharmacological activities, our results clearly demonstrate that curcumin at cellular and whole organism levels displays remarkable potential health benefits for prevention of obesity and associated metabolic disorders by suppressing angiogenesis in adipose tissue, upregulating adipocyte energy metabolism and apoptosis, and downregulating preadipocyte differentiation. The mechanism(s) by which curcumin modulates these processes need to be further investigated." Obesity Life Extension believes that, in addition to a sensible, balanced diet and exercise, the only way to successfully lose weight is to address the underlying hormonal imbalances that promote weight gain. Ideally, by using bioidentical hormone replacement, dieters can restore their hormonal profile to what it was at the age of 25, an age at which weight gain is less often a problem. In addition, numerous dietary nutrients have been shown to encourage weight loss. Green tea and green tea extract have shown an ability to increase metabolic rate. A study in mice found that the primary polyphenol found in green tea (epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG) decreased diet-induced obesity by decreasing energy absorption and increasing fat burning (Klaus et al 2005). Another study in mice evaluated the effects of caffeine, polyphenols, and L-theanine, the three major components of green tea. Additive benefits were found from green tea polyphenols, caffeine, and theanine on fat accumulation (Zheng et al 2004). Furthermore, another study showed that feeding 4 percent green tea powder to mice resulted in weight loss as well as lower concentrations of total cholesterol in the liver, triglycerides in serum and liver, and fatty acids in serum (Sayama et al 2000). A well-known study examined whether or not green tea extract, rich in caffeine and polyphenols, could increase 24-hour energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans. On separate occasions, subjects were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: green tea extract and caffeine (90 mg EGCG and 50 mg caffeine), caffeine (50 mg), and placebo, which were ingested at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The results showed that treatment with the green tea extract (which included caffeine) resulted in a significant increase in metabolic rate, as evidenced by a significant increase in 24-hour energy expenditure (Dulloo et al 1999). An open-label trial demonstrated that after three months, green tea extract decreased body weight by 4.6 percent and waist circumference by 4.48 percent (Chantre et al 2002).

Unlike other products that influence serotonin reuptake, L-tryptophan is a direct precursor that results in almost immediate increases in serotonin, which is one of the primary neurotransmitters involved with sleep and mood. In those people with low serotonin levels, L-tryptophan has been shown to help establish and maintain healthy levels, which may help to improve mood and reduce tension. In those people with serotonin levels already within the normal range, L-tryptophan acts as a natural sleep aid, not only helping people fall asleep, but also helping them stay asleep throughout the night and wake without grogginess. For this reason, some experts believe tryptophan can be a safe and effective sleep aid when added to your diet as a supplement. Life Extension has developed a patent-pending formula called Optimized TryptoPure® Plus that provides lysine, niacinamide, hops, ginger and rosemary extracts to protect tryptophan against excessive degradation in our aging bodies, thus sparing it for conversion into serotonin in the brain. DHA 240 Omega-3 fatty acids, found in cold-water fish (and fish oil), and perilla and flaxseed oils, can be part of a healthy diet. Omega-3 oils contain the essential fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are usually lacking in the typical Western diet that includes high amounts of omega-6 fats. EPA and DHA can be synthesized from ALA, but EPA and DHA synthesis may be insufficient under certain conditions. Studies associate the Mediterranean diet, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, olive oil, and antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and herbs, with lowered cardiovascular risk and increased life span. Other studies support omega-3's importance in cardiovascular health. In fact, the FDA states that supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Sometimes, squeezing one more thing onto your lengthy to-do list just seems impossible. Between work and family, the often little precious time you have left isn't really something you want to give up, even if it might help your career. In fact, a nice nap looks better than just about anything.
But if you have just a little bit of time, joining a national or regional professional association, like the National Association of Hispanic Nurses or the New England Regional Black Nurses Association, is a great way to boost both your career and your morale. If you get involved on a higher level, as a board member or committee chair, for example, you have a chance to make a real change for nurses possibly forming and enacting policies that can make a difference in nurses' lives.
On the surface, professional organizations are a great place to find nursing resources and career information. But if you look at all the benefits a membership offers, you will find a whole range of networking activities, conferences, meetings, educational opportunities, and even scholarships. National organizations host conferences (members often get discounts to these) with agendas full of presentations relevant to nurses in all areas.
To be a successful member, you really have to be an active member. Sure, it looks good to say you belong to a professional organization on paper, but to reap the benefits you really have to get involved. Go to a local meeting and meet other nurses of all levels and of all interests. While you take advantage of the natural networking that a meeting offers, you also uncover the issues near and dear to your local community. What are your peers supporting? What worries them? What is happening in your own nursing community? How does this all impact nursing on a national level?
And you will always learn something. Meetings often have an educational component where presenters address specific points of interest for nurses, whether it is career-related or clinical. Gathering with other local minority nurses not only aligns you with your professional community, but also the wider community where members try to bring about healthy change.
And just being around other committed nurses who share your interests is a morale boost, reminding you of why you got into the profession in the first place. These organizations are great places to cultivate a mentoring relationship if you feel stuck in your career and are not sure how to progress.
In a profession where minorities are underrepresented, the personal and professional bonds offered in an organization geared specifically to minority nurses are invaluable.

Arsenal and Everton drew 1-1 on Sunday in a fantastic back-and-forth match between two teams high on style. Both sides passed the ball with confidence, and despite only coming away with a point, Everton's confidence will get a massive boost from having played so well at The Emirates Stadium.
One of the talking points during the game was how high Arsenal were defending wide free kicks. The game commentator said it was a dangerous tactic from the Gunners, as it invited the ball to be played in behind the defenders. I disagree, for a number of reasons.
1. The goalkeeper needs space if he is to come and attack the ball.
It is essential for the defenders to set a defensive line that gives the goalkeeper enough room to come and claim the ball if (when) it comes into the penalty area. It is a fine balancing act, though, and this is something that Arsenal do exceptionally well.
In the 15th minute, Everton had a wide free kick. Arsenal have not yet picked up their defensive marks in this picture, but it indicates just how high they are prepared to hold their line. They are not even ten yards from the line of the ball, and when the ball is played short by Everton, they are quick to react and force the ball away from goal.
Wojciech Szczesny has the entire penalty area to come and claim the ball if it is flighted into the box, which is all that he can ask for - an excellent example of a well-organized defensive line from Arsenal.
2. Defenders need to be ball-side, goal-side.
By this, I mean that good defenders are always in a position where they are favourite to win the ball if it is played in behind them, and can also get a challenge in if the ball is played into the attacker's feet.
When defending wide free kicks, it is imperative for the defender to be ball-side, goal-side. You do this by ensuring that you are "touch-tight," meaning that you are close enough to touch the attacker, and closer to your goal than the attacker.
With a more central free kick, Arsenal still hold a very high line; they are inviting Everton to play the ball into the penalty area. But because they are ball-side, goal-side, they are favourites to win the ball when it comes into the area. The one Everton attacker that is in behind the defensive line is in an offside position, and must come back onside before the ball is kicked. At this point, the Arsenal defenders must get ball-side, goal-side, or they run the risk of being second favourite to win the ball.
3. If the defensive line is set too deep, the goalkeeper cannot react to a header or deflection.
This point was perfectly exemplified in Canada's 2-0 loss to the Czech Republic in November. Canada's defensive line was set so deep, that goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld could do nothing about the first goal, scored in just the third minute of the game.
Look at how deep the Canadian defensive line is (in red). When the ball is flighted to the near post, Marcel de Jong is out-jumped by Ondrej Celustka, who heads the ball past Hirschfeld. The goal could have easily been prevented had Canada held a more aggressive defensive line nearer the 18-yard line. If the ball is floated in behind the defensive line, it is a much easier play for Hirschfeld to make.
Being a good defender is about assessing, prioritizing and mitigating risk. You always want to be in a position where you are favourite to win the ball if it comes into the most dangerous area - which is generally closer to your goal. But there is no hard and fast rule when it comes to your distances from the ball, when to drop in and when to hold your line. That is down to the judgment of the players, who must make those decisions based on their individual and collective skill sets. The best teams, like Arsenal at this point in time, are exceptionally well-organized and consistently make the right decisions as a group when defending.

A Tennessee man is fighting to clear his name after DNA evidence proved he had no part in a terrible crime.
Lawrence McKinney spent 31 years in prison for a rape he didn't commit.
He was released in 2009, but said a decision by the state is stopping him from getting a steady job, the right to vote and a passport to allow him to travel to do mission work.
McKinney's lack of bitterness has created a legion of champions.
Despite his unfair and inaccurate felony record, he remains at peace while friends fight for his exoneration.
McKinney was falsely accused of rape and burglary in 1977 in Memphis, 31 years into the sentence, the Innocence Project freed him on DNA evidence.
He wasn't there and had nothing to do with the crime. The district attorney and judge released him from custody.
No one says McKinney is a convicted felon, except when a potential employer runs his background check.
The background check means he can't get a passport, he can't vote and he gets ugly looks from potential employers.
"My job now is the Lord's work and try to make everyone realize who Jesus is," said McKinney. "I've got peace, I mean real peace."
It's hard to get a job when you are a convicted felon who went into jail at age 22 and came out at 53.
But that peace, the loving heart of McKinney, cut through.
Lifeway Christian Resources hired him and put him on the cover of its employee magazine. So did a local hospital and a church.
McKinney said he would like to vote. Even more he would like to go on a mission trip with Immanuel Baptist Church.
While all this is worth fighting for, McKinney isn't fighting.
"God is going to put the right people in my life to help me through," said McKinney.
Pastor John Hunn of Immanuel Baptist is one of those right people to help McKinney.
He wants the governor to exonerate McKinney as soon as possible because it's the right thing to do.
"He is not guilty. The state of Tennessee admitted that," said Hunn. "They need to finish that up and make it right and do right by a citizen of the state of Tennessee."
Channel 4 News asked the governor's office Friday why McKinney had not been exonerated and why it had taken so much time. They advised us to call the state Probation and Parole Board.
Probation and Parole said it did not have a definitive answer.
The Department of Correction said he needs to go to the original court for an expungement order.

Range of Services
The Adult Gender Identity Clinic at CAMH offers consultations and support to anyone over 18 who wishes to explore issues related to their gender identity or gender dysphoria which may include any degree of transgender expression. We also conduct comprehensive
assessments for transsexual clients seeking hormone treatment and/or sex reassignment surgery.
The Gender Identity Clinic provides psychoeducational sessions to families and consultation to employers of clinic clients, provided we have your signed consent. Otherwise all consultations are strictly confidential.
Due to limited staff resources and other organizations offering similar services, we are not running group support programming at this time. People within the Toronto area are encouraged to contact the Sherbourne Health Centre for their Gender Journeys program, a facilitated, time-limited and closed support group supporting people questioning their gender and/or contemplating transition; the 519 Church Street Community Centre for open-ended, peer-based trans support groups; and Xpressions, a membership-based support and social group for cross-dressers. If you are living elsewhere in Ontario and need help locating group support in your area, please feel free to contact the CAMH Gender Identify Clinic.
The Consultation Process
In order for you to be seen for consultation, the clinic requires a referral from a licensed physician (designation: MD) or a nurse practitioner (designation: NRP). Ask your doctor to fill out the CAMH Adult Referral Form. It should be faxed directly to the CAMH Gender Identity Clinic (GIC) at 416-583-1360. If the referring clinician has any administrative questions, they should contact the GIC program secretary at 416-535-8501 x 36833.
Be sure your doctor has all the most up-to-date contact information for you. Once we receive the referral, we will send you a brief questionnaire to fill out. When we receive your completed questionnaire, we will book your initial assessment appointment with the clinic. Given the volume of people we see, it may be a number of months after we receive your questionnaire that you are seen for initial assessment.

Before you rhapsodize over the chic, strong blue—wait! At the last minute, makeup artist Diane Kendal actually used a purple eyeshadow instead (from Lancome—out soon!).
Caught by Harper's Bazaar photog en route to Jason Wu wearing a giant hat, Wyler scarf, Jil Sander sweater, Opening Ceremony bomber, Whistles jacket, and vintage skirt, Pierre Hardy clutch, and drinking my deliciously weird kale juice
Another day, another manicure: I received a quick manicure backstage at Prabal with two of his three new shades: Loden Green and Call to Arms (the gold accent finger). My rings, by the way, are by (from left to right): Stella and Bow, Helen Ficalora, and Jennifer Fisher.
More manicure shots after the jump!
Women in combat, body armor, and empowerment were the themes that Prabal Gurung took inspiration from for his FW13 collection
The makeup was by Charlotte Tilbury, and it was quite a departure from the seriously smoky and dramatic eyes of seasons past. Makeup was soft, feminine, and pretty, to contrast the structured, militaristic look of the clothing.
Prabal Gurung's show never fails to inspire me and I absolutely loved his latest collection. the beadwork was out of this world and his slit-up-to-there dresses were absurdly sexy. this one was my favorite!
It's indisputable that Jenni Kayne is the queen of D'Orsay flats (I had to restrain myself from making a "I daresay that Jenni is the queen of D'Orsay" pun, by the way. 2013 resolution #59 is to be less punny). I trudged through a hailstorm to see her most recent collection, which was a refined collection of sleek LA-modern-retro looks. click through for more pictures, including a ravishing red lipstick…
backstage at Rebecca Minkoff, I bumped into Taryn, the genius nail artist behind Miss Ladyfinger. obviously, I had to snap her Chanel-inspired manicure. tres chic, right?
I paid a visit to Jennifer Fisher's jewelry studio earlier this week. Jennifer and I met when we spoke on a panel together at NYU last year; she asked me about beauty products, I asked her about her jewelry—it was kismet. her aesthetic is distinctly rock and roll and all about layering…
dear women of the world: you should learn from this wise man. heythatsmint, I am obsessed with you. can you be my new SBFF (skincare best friend forever)? ^_^ but seriously, well done with your skincare routine. the only thing I'd say is a) if you feel oily during the day, use blotting papers (these are fairly unisex!) and b) instead of splashing water, have you thought about a facial mist instead? this one from Jurlique is really soothing and this one is a classic. and c) if your skin is super, super dry, consider adding a face oil to your routine. this one is my new favorite, it soothed my skin through a terrible cold recently!
-Karl Lagerfeld in WSJ Magazine's March issue.
(ps: I'm pleased to say I'm now a contributing editor there!)
ah, weddings. such happy, festive, fun affairs—unless you're the bride, in which case you are super-stressed out with 9.8 million details. I love that you're taking a proactive approach to your skincare and now is the perfect time to begin (five months out). so, first of all, I'd definitely recommend the basics: drinking lots of water, cutting back on refined sugars, boosting the amount of fruits and veggies you have. also, um, wash your face every night (I'm astounded by the number of people who don't wash their face. don't they realize they're going to sleep with a day's worth of oil, pollution, and grime on it!). if you can invest in a Clarisonic, I think it's a wonderful way to deep cleanse and exfoliate. I use mine 2-3x a week (especially on the days I wear more makeup). many brides I know get facials, but I actually think if you cleanse properly, using masks at home is a great (and less expensive, because let's face it, you have enough expenses these next few months) alternative. a few of my favorites: SK-II, Jurlique, Ren. lastly, try not to sweat the small stuff. I was, to be honest, a total bridezilla. I agonized over everrrrrything, every little detail. it was worth it, yes, but at the same time, I realize now that what people remembered from the wedding wasn't how the blush of the favor ribbons perfectly matched the place card calligraphy. they remembered the overall happiness of the bride and groom and the love and joy everyone felt. hooray, congratulations!
of course, the first thing I looked at were the nails. lovely brushed gold by OPI. then, I looked at the hair: soft cascading waves by Redken/Cutler… perfectly soft, swoopy, side-parted waves.
mixing different metals, but that's the way I like it: Hermes bag, Valentino flats, Karen Walker sunglasses, Sandro pants, giant fluffy trapper hat
a $179 Karl Lagerfeld keychain. absolutely ridiculously hilarious
and yet I bet it will sell out
hello, lovelies, testing a new feature I'll be doing once a week—all the pictorial goodness you may have missed if you don't follow me on Instagram! this week's highlights: from Venice and the SAG Awards to New York for a chic Indian wedding… and all the beauty products I used in between!
there are two ways to live your life. one is as though nothing is a miracle. the other is as everything is.
-Albert Einstein. smart man. ^_^
but, seriously, it is so easy to get jaded in the fashion world (or regular world). I see it all the time, at every level. assistants or interns who start feeling entitled… senior editors who start adopting a "don't you know who I am attitude". one of the most important skills you can have—and foster— is an unexpected one… ready for it?
swung by my darling Bryan's preview for his collection with Adrienne Landau. he designed the slouchy fuzzy hat I'm wearing and the neon scarf… so chic, right? I think I was meant to own them because they go with my Opening Ceremony bomber (new from Matches!) and Pierre Hardy sneakers.
see the rest of the collection by clicking through (and another absurd shot of me & Bryan, haha. we do enjoy mugging it up for the camera)
especially an Indian one! especially ones that have on-site henna artists! my nail color of choice for the wedding was Jin Soon's Risque shade, a rouge noir that's classic (but chic). her polishes, by the way, are absurdly long-lasting. I highly recommend them!
want to know where my rings are from? click through to the next page ^_^
aw, thank you for social-media-stalking me. I appreciate your support (and to all the other hundreds of thousands—how did that happen—of followers out there). well, David Bowie once said, "I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, BUT I PROMISE YOU IT WON'T BE BORING." that's become my motto. I left Teen Vogue full-time last October (still writing for them, of course. check out their March issue!). I loved my seven years there, Amy Astley taught me so much about how to be an editor and just a good person overall. really, though, there's no dramatic story: I just knew that I wanted to learn new things (digital! e-commerce! product design!), write for new places (Vogue! Elle! Wall Street Journal! Vogue China!), and see as much of the world as possible, so that I could feel my brain expand and learn new things again. I know a lot of people were, like, "oh my goodness, why would you leave a wonderful, stable job to be freelance?" (um, my mother said that. except swap in "oh my goodness" with "what is wrong with you", haha). this is why—and this is advice for all you lovely ladies and gents reading out there: the purpose of life isn't to be stable, safe. you owe it to yourself to live life to the fullest and to maximize every single opportunity you are blessed with. xx
I have an addiction to wonky, ridiculous, and generally clunky shoes, it's true. this pair is by Nicholas Kirkwood for Erdem pre-fall and I am in love
rather, big girls shouldn't cry if they're lucky enough to own Balenciaga's crazy-sold-out cut-out moto boots. but, honestly, the first time I wore them my feet got so torn up that I couldn't even look at the shoes for a month. in any case, last week I finally toughened up and wore them (avec tights), a Topshop bubble skirt, Proenza Schouler turtleneck, and 982 Band-Aids.
if you love mixing prints (and, oh boy, do I), the key is to have their general color-schemes match up… and having them both be from Kenzo doesn't hurt either ^_^
oh dear, it sounds like you've been having a hard time with someone lately. (there's almost always a "someone" instigating, isn't there?). I hope everything's okay! so, here are my thoughts on your questions: no, you're not wrong for what you're feeling or thinking. the magazine industry tends to attract driven, ambitious people and with that can come a fair amount of drama. it's not an industry that's like booming either—it's getting smaller and more difficult to find jobs, so there's that contributing to everything as well. but my point of view is that you could be in any industry—neurosurgery! academia! zoology! (what a random assortment of jobs I chose, btw)—and it would be similarly cutthroat and backstabby. because, really, it comes down to one person/group of people who like causing drama. your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to be super-aware of these folks and to steer clear of them (be polite and nice, of course, though). find the people that you trust, that you feel comfortable around, and that are true friends. they exist. I know they do, because I myself found a group like that, even in the fashion industry. you obviously love writing—it's so hard to find your passion in life. don't let someone take that away from you.
darlings, I had the incredible experience of being on the red carpet for the first time ever this Sunday as a guest of L'Oreal Paris. it's hard to explain the experience—to be out-numbered by celebrities (oh, hey, Bradley Cooper! oh, hi, cast of Glee!) was definitely surreal. the main thing I learned, really, is that stars are just like us—except perfectly coiffed and maintained. ^_^
my favorite beauty trends on the red carpet—surprisingly, since I'm the most low-maintenance hair girl ever—were the lovely, lovely waves spotted in abundance (I may have tried this look myself: exhibit A). I love that the waves are deliberate, a departure from from the beachy-boho tousled looks popular in seasons past. I can say from first hair experience that the key to maintaining this look is hairspray, by the way. a lot of it.
click through for my other beauty highlights from the night, from purple hair to high ponytails!
now that I live in Los Angeles part-time, I need a whole wardrobe of sunglasses, right? right! heart these Matthew Williamsons
by "this", I mean model Barbara Palvin, who looked incandescently and just ridiculously gorgeous at the Golden Globes. now, those of you who follow me on twitter, know about my obsession with awards shows. I live for them and, yes, live-tweet them exhaustively until my fingers get crampy and sore. so…big announcement… the Screen Actor's Guild awards are just 48 hours away and—excuse me whilst I hyperventilate—guess who'll be on the red-carpet with L'Oreal Paris? me! ^_^
read on, darlings, for my red carpet musings and predictions…
hooray, I'm glad to be a force for skincare good. your message made my day! so, serum 101: just as basecoat is the most important step of a manicure (this one has been my favorite for the last two years), serum is like basecoat for the skin, a crucial first step. the analogy is a tad jumbled but basically what serum does is deliver a straight shot of beneficial ingredients to the skin (they're often pricier than plain lotions because they're more concentrated) plus deliver on benefits like hydration, brightening, etc. so, it's up to you to choose what kind of serum you need. if you're looking to fade dark spots, perhaps try Clinique or L'Oreal. remember to wear SPF during the day as well, since just as sun darkens the rest of your skin, it can darken dark spots. and for those of you looking for hydration (it's so deeply dry out there this time of year), these are two of my favorite serums for deep moisturization: Dermalogica and Ren.
oh, oh, oh, I know I've been delinquent in my posts these last few days. deadlines for 924721 different articles I'm writing and—exciting—working on the design of this little blog of mine! but I digress: this post is all about the plethora of chic spring shoes that have been streaming into my inbox (and therefore stream of consciousness). like these new ones from Sigerson Morrison. I pre-ordered the Brielle in blue already…
Stefano Tonchi! Hamish Bowles! Mark Holgate! Andre Leon Talley! Eric Wilson! Ariel Foxman! Derek Blasberg! Andrew Bevan! Hal Rubenstein! Joe Zee! (the list goes on.) listen, anytime someone tells you something that you know in your gut is simply not true (which must be the case, otherwise you wouldn't be asking me for validation, no?), just tune it out. the world is full of naysayers—people LOVE telling other people what they can't do. prove them wrong…

NBC has bought a comedy series from formerweds Courteney Cox and David Arquette. It pretty much sounds like the story of their relationship.
The single-camera series, titled Ten Years, follows the dramedic ups and downs of a recently separated couple's relationship. The couple was together for -- you guessed it -- a decade
Like the couple on the series they are producing, Cox and Arquette were married a little over 10 years and split fairly recently. Hmmmm...

Win-Win Peanut Butter Deal
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In the effort of expanding its business into general packaged foods and accelerate its growth in China, Hormel Foods (NYSE: HRL) has agreed to acquire the Skippy peanut butter business from Unilever (NYSE: UN) for total $700 million in cash. Skippy is considered to be the number two peanut butter brand in the US, just behind Jif brand, which belongs to J.M. Smucker Company (NYSE: SJM). Does Hormel become more attractive in investors' eyes after the deal?
Diversifying Product Portfolio with the Strong Brand
Skippy brand has a storied history, dating back as far as 1932. It belonged to Unilever when the company acquired Bestfoods for $22.7 billion thirteen years ago. The brand ranks the second in the US market and it holds the leading position in the Chinese market, which was reported to experience rapid growth in peanut butter business. With 11 varieties, Skippy owns roughly 18% of the US market, whereas Jif owns much more than that, of around 34% of the total peanut butter market. CEO Jeffery Ettinger of Hormel felt excited about the deal: "The acquisition of Skippy peanut butter business represents a significant opportunity for Hormel Foods. It allows us to grow our branded presence in the center of the store with a non-meat protein product and it reinforces our balanced portfolio. The fast growing international line will also strengthen our global presence, and should be a useful complement to our sales strategy in China for the Spam family of products." Indeed, Skippy is the good target for its plan to expand in overseas market and the plan to diversify its product portfolio with non-meat items.
Generous Price? But on Good Purchases?
Skippy generated around $370 million in annual sales, whereas $100 million were generated from international markets including 30 other countries on all five continents globally. Out of the $100 million in international sales, China brought to Skippy around $30 - $40 million in sales in the recent year. Actually, in October, when Unilever said that it considered selling Skippy, analysts estimated that the deal would be in the range of $300 million to $500 million. Thus, with the annual sales of $370 million, the deal would value Skippy at as high as nearly 1.9x sales. The deal seems a little expensive compared to its own price-sales valuation of 1.1x in the market. Hormel expected that by fiscal 2014, Hormel could see the benefit of 13 to 17 cents added to the EPS. With the current shares outstanding of around 269 million, $0.13 to $0.17 per share would translate into $35 million to $45.7 million in profit. On the deal, Moody's also revised outlook for Hormel's from stable to positive. Moody's feels more confident that Hormel, even with the growth via acquisition strategy, would still be conservative and have stable operating performance. Hormel Foods is indeed quite conservatively structured. As of October 2010, it booked more than $2.8 billion in total stockholders' equity, $760 million in cash and short-term investments, only $250 million in long-term debt and $615 million in pensions and other benefits.
Another Food Exit for Unilever
For Unilever, the sale of Skippy is another success to exit the food business, which hasn't performed so well. In 2010, it has divested the last remaining unit in its European Frozen Food business, Findus Italy to private equity group Permira. In August, it already completed the sale of its North American frozen food business to ConAgra Foods for around $267 million, including Bertolli and P.F Chang's. Unilever has shifted its focus to Beauty & Personal care including hair care, oral care, skin care, etc., via both organic growth in emerging markets and via acquisitions.
Valuation-wise, at the trading price of $34.31 per share, Hormel Foods is worth more than $9 billion in the market. It is valued at 10.10x EV/EBITDA. Unilever is worth $108.84 billion in the market, and is valued at 11.52x EV/EBITDA. J.M. Smucker, the owner of Jif, the leading peanut butter brand in the US, seems to be the cheapest, at nearly 10x EV multiples, with the total market capitalization of $9.78 billion.
Foolish Take
Even with the generous price, the acquisition of Skippy would give Hormel good product portfolio diversification with the non-meat item. Unilever is also better off with its food business exit, to refocus on the personal and beauty care in the fast-growing markets. Those two businesses could be in the income portfolios of the long-term investors.

Go with the flow! Why teaching the circular flow model is so important
Like many other subject areas these days—biology, history, and government, to name just a few—the study of economics can become politically charged faster than you can say "Ricardian equivalence theorem." Considering some of the language commonly employed in the media and in political debate, a beginning economics student could not be blamed for thinking that our economic system is essentially a war between "us" and "them." "Them," of course, is whoever disagrees with "us."
Teachers can help remediate the pervasive "us-versus-them" mentality by introducing the circular flow model of the economy early in a social studies or economics class. Teachers describing the major segments of the domestic and global economy in objective terms can show how they are actually interdependent and not at war with each other.
A two-year assessment by outside experts of the Atlanta Fed's education program found that teachers' confidence in their ability to teach about money and the banking system was particularly weak. The three-factor model, as explained below, can provide a useful tool to help teachers navigate through this complex topic.
A basic three-factor model
This three-factor model includes the government sector, which collects taxes from businesses and households and provides goods and services (things like national security, natural disaster aid, justice, transportation, environmental and consumer protection, education, partial funding of workers' retirement and retirement health care, and regulation) that benefit the common good. Since the founding of the republic, the debate has raged about how large a role government should play in the economy, but over time and through painful experience, voters have supported some role for the government in providing these goods and services.
Teachers can show students the flow of money, resources, goods, and services among the three factors. Several simple and entertaining lessons and activities are available to help students experience how this flow works in the classroom or in their own personal lives.
See the Share the Wealth section of this issue of Extra Credit for more specific lessons and strategies from three Atlanta area teachers on teaching the circular flow.
Adding the financial sector
Teachers can show that without the banks and other components of the financial system, consumers and businesses would find it much harder to get funding for projects and the economy would not be able to continue to grow.
In fact, during the financial crisis of 2008–9, the flow of credit through the financial system very nearly froze up. Essentially, when subprime and other types of loans began to go delinquent and default, banks and other financial institutions that held securitized packages of these loans became unwilling to lend to each other in the short-term markets.
When the liquidity of some major default insurance providers was also questioned, credit availability tightened even more. Chart 2 shows that the flow of short-term credit funding of things like credit card loans, student loans, auto loans, and home equity loans, which had been running at a rate of about $300 billion per month, fell to nearly zero in October 2008. The commercial paper market, on which many businesses rely for their short-term funding, also nearly shut down. As a result, some businesses may have been dangerously close to not being able to make payroll, extend credit, or meet other obligations.
Admittedly, a detailed discussion of credit markets is more likely to occur in advanced economics courses, but teachers can introduce the basic concept of how the financial markets participate directly in the everyday activities of businesses and households in the context of the circular flow model.
As many of us recall, Congress initially voted down the $700 billion rescue plan and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 800 points on Sept. 29, 2008, erasing about $1.2 trillion from the market value of U.S. shares. Political and media rhetoric at the time was heated, sometimes over-heated, with at least some of it due to misunderstandings or mischaracterizations of the financial sector's role in the overall economy.
In advanced courses, teachers can challenge students to go deeper into issues like how the housing bubble, low consumer financial literacy, abuses by financial players, regulatory lapses, and political factors may have played into the crisis. If students start with a solid foundation in the circular flow model, however, they can at least begin with a balanced and objective understanding of how the various components of the economy work together.

My room had windows that open and that looked right out on the nice shopping street. There was a Steiff store in the lobby shopping mall that was PERFECT for bringing expensive $* teddy bear gifts home from. Also amazing breakfast.

The air conditioning in the room did not work. The hotel staff said it needs to run two hours before it starts to cool the room but after four hours of it running it still did not work. When we called the front desk again they agreed it was broken but said nothing could be done about it. We opened the windows but the room was very hot. We expected better from a hotel in this price range. We were offered no solutions nor compensation. The room itself was good but the bathroom light switches are a bit hidden.

Das Zimmer war sauber.
Das Zimmer war als 'besonders geräumig' und damit auch etwas teurer gebucht, entsprach dann aber nicht dem geforderten Preis. Ein einzelnes Zustellbett, das nicht entfernt werden konnte (auch nicht durch das Personal), verringerte die ohnehin nicht großzügig bemessene Geräumigkeit auf niedrigstes Niveau. Das Frühstücksbuffet entsprach geringsten Anforderungen.

Hotel was very dated and the rooms smelled like stale cigarette smoke. The staff had a very 'that's not my problem' attitude and weren't at all helpful. The spa area was full of screaming children which the staff would do nothing about so it wasn't very relaxing. The only redeeming thing about the hotel was the buffet breakfast which was very good. Next time I'm in Hamburg, I will definitely look for another place to stay.

I spend about 50 nights in hotels each year, and this was my best hotel experience in quite some time. Very clean, decent price, very helpful front desk staff (who all spoke excellent English). Location was great for walking around, and the train station is at most a three-minute walk from the front door. I could get anywhere in the city in less than 20 minutes, often much more quickly than that. The park setting was attractive, especially this time of year. Wish they had international stamps at the front desk. Didn't try any of the food. Will definitely try to stay in this hotel during my next visit to Hamburg.

Die Lage ist hervorragend. Alles fussläufig zu erreichen (Innenstadt, Restaurants).
Badezimmer stand nach der Benutzung der Dusche komplett unter Wasser da es (laut Aussage der Rezeption) architektonisch nicht korrekt gebaut worden ist. Das Problem ist bekannt, aber es wird so hingenommen und in Kauf genommen das der Gast im Wasser steht nach der Dusche. Das Problem könnte meiner Meinung nach mit einer Leiste zwischen Dusch und Badbereich behoben werden.... aber dazu sieht sich das Hotel wohl nicht in der Lage.

Elegance and location
When we were there, one concierge was ill and one was away so it was harder to get information about the city. The bathtubs should have grab bars and more safety features/ or the hotel should offer stall showers.I stayed at the hotel in 1953 and it was the most elegant hotel I had ever seen. It remains elegant, both the rooms and the public areas. We enjoyed the nespresso machine, the heated towel racks and other details. We had a superb dinner at the Haerlin restaurant in the hotel. We enjoyed the fresh fruit that was brought to the room each day. And we love the heavy, old fashioned key. No magnetic cards here.

COLUMBUS, OHIO (WSAU) Two short-handed goals helped the Wisconsin women's hockey team double up Ohio State yesterday afternoon, 4-2. Four different Badgers scored as UW improved its record to 8-3-2.
Alev Kelter broke a scoreless tie on the penalty kill in the second period, then the Buckeyes scored twice to go ahead. Karley Sylvester tied it up at 2-2 on a penalty shot, then goals by Blayre Turnbull and Madison Packer iced the win.
Alex Rigsby had 31 saves in goal. Wisconsin outshot Ohio State 35-33. When the Buckeyes scored at the 4:51 mark in the second period, it ended Rigsby's shutout streak at a little over 214 minutes.
The two teams wrap up the series this afternoon in Columbus at 1 p.m. Michael Mensch scored both goals as the Wisconsin men's hockey team tied Minnesota 2-2 yesterday. Mensch's sixth goal of the season came at 5:06 of the second period. That cut the Gopher lead in half after the home team had scored the first two goals of the game.
Badger goalie Landon Peterson withstood a barrage of 40 shots in the game. The Badgers were outshot 42-25.
The tie gives Wisconsin a 1-4-2 record, including 1-2-2 in Western Collegiate Hockey Association competition.

A man who died earlier this year was found to be contagious with tuberculosis at the time of his death, according to a Center of Disease Control (CDC) report on the outbreak.
The man's cause of death was listed as acute respiratory distress, according to the report.
The man, who died, was in a singing group with the janitor, who is believed to be at the center of the TB outbreak, according to the report. The report stated the two had contact as late as March when the janitor went to see the man in the hospital.
The report said the 79-year-old man had prior medical issues, but his health started declining late last year. The man had symptoms of weight loss, extreme fatigue and fevers worsened between December and early March of 2013, according to the report.
The report said the man was not discovered to have TB until after his death.
The CDC said they could not exclude the man as the source of the TB outbreak.
