Heading into the New Year everyone wants to know, what they can do to get financially fit–fast! Well, here are my five pieces of financial advice for 2012 …drum roll!
1) PAY YOURSELF FIRST. That means the moment you earn a dollar, you direct at least the first hour of income in the day to a retirement account (like a 401k plan, IRA, Roth IRA or SEP IRA).
2) SAVE MONEY AUTOMATICALLY. That means that everything you save for yourself, make the money move automatically. You have your earnings deposited automatically for you, and it's moved automatically at your bank into the various savings accounts you set up for retirement, emergency, college savings, home etc.
3) PAY DOWN YOUR DEBT. If you have credit card debt, rather than worry about investing right now focusing on paying the credit card debt down. Go to http://finishrich.com/dolp/ and download my tool to help you pay down your debt or go to Debt Wise which is a site I promote with Equifax that helps you pay down your debt -automatically, saving you time and money (in interest) in the process! Debt reduction is the key to financial security and freedom…so get serious about paying it down in 2012.
4) REFINANCE YOUR MORTGAGE FROM 30 YEAR TO 15 YEAR. If you can afford to make extra payments on your mortgage – do it! If you are really ready to get serious about being debt free, refinance from a 30 year to a 15 year mortgage. The rates on mortgages are the lowest that we have practically ever seen, and now is a great time to do this.
5) GET SMART FINANCIALLY. To me the best investment you can make financially in 2012 will be in your own financial education. Learn more, read books, take classes, and make sure to tune in to NBC's TODAY show – Money 911 each week, visit the section of today.com … make learning about money a priority, learning everything you can about YOUR MONEY, what you own and what you can to invest. Financial education is a MUST in 2012!
Live Rich!

ATLANTA -- Jeff Teague and the Atlanta Hawks had been in this situation a couple of times already this season.
So when the Orlando Magic erased Atlanta's 17-point lead in the third quarter, Teague wanted to be a calming influence.
"We're still learning every day," he said. "I was glad to see us bounce back, get the lead back up and make plays at the end. Hard work is paying off."
Teague had 19 points and 13 assists, Paul Millsap scored 18 points with 11 rebounds and the Hawks beat Orlando 104-94 on Saturday night.
Arron Afflalo finished with 21 points for the Magic, who have dropped 15 straight on the road dating to last March 4.
Mike Scott had 17 points in a reserve role and Al Horford scored 15 and Kyle Korver added 14 for Atlanta.
Korver made a 3 in his 79th consecutive game to surpass Dennis Scott and tie Michael Adams for second place on the NBA career list. After Korver hit a 3 on a fast break late in the fourth, Teague's fastbreak layup made it 97-88 with 1:41 remaining.
The Hawks have won nine straight over the Magic at Philips Arena.
Jameer Nelson and Andrew Nicholson each finished with 13 points for Orlando.
Atlanta took the game's first double-digit lead at 57-47 on Millsap's jumper with 9:30 left in the third. DeMarre Carroll followed with a 3 and Millsap hit a layup for a 15-point lead that caused Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn to call a timeout.
"Guys were just getting in position where they were open," Teague said. "I was hitting them, and they were making shots. Paul and Kyle had their pick and pop all night, and they were making them. When I was getting in the lane, I was doing my best to draw defenders and kick it to them."
Carroll's reverse dunk a couple of minutes later put the Hawks ahead by 17 for the game's biggest lead, but the Magic went on a 23-7 run that ended with Andrew Nicholson's hook shot in the final minute of the third and gave Orlando a 71-70 lead.
The Magic, who dropped to 0-3 on the road this season, got back in contention defensively by shutting down the passing lanes and forcing Atlanta to wind down the shot clock on multiple possessions late in the third and early in the fourth.
"We fought our way back into the game," Vaughn said. "That unit that was on the floor gave us a lot of energy on the second night of a back-to-back and got us back into the game, take the lead. Great resolve by that group over there -- the Hawks -- making shots."
E'Twaun Moore and Afflalo hit consecutive 3s midway through the final period to cut the lead to 79-77, and Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer called a timeout.
Afflalo 3's put the Magic up 88-87 with 3:50 remaining, but they didn't lead again.
"There's just no room for error at that point," Afflalo said. "We just couldn't close the game off tonight."
Teague, secure in his role after Atlanta re-signed him to a multiyear contract last summer, is showing the kind of leadership that Budenholzer wants from his point guard.
"I think he's really starting to understand what we're saying," Budenholzer said after his team improved to 3-3. "I think for the last week to 10 days that he's had a lot of opportunities and a lot of responsibility for the way we play. He's doing a lot of good things. I think he's going to get better and better. "
NOTES: Dana Barros set the NBA mark by hitting a 3 in 89 straight games from Dec. 23, 1994-Jan. 12, 1996, during stints with Philadelphia and Boston. ... Adams made a 3 in 79 straight games during the 1987-88 and 1988-89 seasons with Denver. ... The Hawks had the biggest lead of the first half at eight on a pair of baskets by Scott in the first minute of the first quarter.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.
1. Andrew Wiggins - Cavaliers
8. Nik Stauskas - Kings

November 4, 2012
The afterglow of my birthday festivities has worn off, and the end of the semester is weighing heavier on my psyche. I have an open planner on my desk, filled out much too far in the future for anybody who believes in "living in the present." I was content after Fall Break to do just that, live in the present, taking the homework, tasks and fun times one day at a time. Now the "It's my birthday!" excuse does not work anymore, and I must start to pick up long-term projects that may have been neglected.
This is not to say that my birthday was a bust, quite the contrary. My friends helped me celebrate and it was my best birthday to date. This past weekend I even spent some time in Minneapolis with my roommate and a friend where the 24-hour trip was a blessed mini-vacation.
Upon my return to Luther, though, I know that it is time to kick it into high gear. I have a looming research paper for Ancient Science that refuses to go away until I do more than pick a topic. I have forms sitting half-completed in my desk drawer for next semester. Documentary filming will be starting any day now for Media and Production. Music History promises a test next week, and Philharmonia's Fall Concert is in a mere 48 hours. I have been thankful for the time to relax in the last weeks, but now it is time to get down to business.

Egyptian Interfaith Outreach: Moderate Muslims Demand Coptic Christians Pay Jizya
An armed Islamic movement calling itself the "Brigade of Muslims" released a statement on Saturday threatening Egypt's Coptic Christians and asking them to pay tribute.
"Egypt is an Islamic country and will be ruled according to Shariah," the statement added.
The movement threatened all Egyptian media professionals who "mock religion and Islamic rule," adding that it has a special list of media professionals and their persistence in mocking will result in the "shedding of their blood in the ugliest way."
Sorry Vid is Arabic, mostly he talks about being in love with his goat.

Parents can rest assured their kids are playing safely at Diverzion Kids. For one, the climate-controlled play arena keeps children active and occupied even if the outdoors are made inhospitable by pouring rain or sweltering heat. Also, the staffers keep a watchful eye on sock-footed moppets as they gambol on bounce houses and slides, but just in case they blink, a security camera system serves as a backup measure. Meanwhile, birthday boys and girls celebrate with the friends in private rooms and regular visitors clamber around obstacles and rack up high scores in the arcade.
At Pole Dance Miami, honored as 2010's Best Gym Alternative in the Miami New Times and featured on NBC Channel 6, dance poles host a dizzying array of spins and twists in more than 40 weekly classes that unite high-flying exercise with feminine sensuality.

The fuchsia studio's floor-to-ceiling wall of mirrors assists patrons in achieving proper form during mat stretches and twists, and its hardwood floors are tuned to make pitch-perfect music when struck with stiletto heels. Ladies can flock to the studio en masse for pole parties, during which instructors lead partygoers in basic moves to celebrate bachelorette parties, birthday parties, or high-noon tea parties.

The Philadelphia Flyers will be without the services of forwards Scott Hartnell and Vincent Lecavalier for up to a week, general manager Paul Holmgren said following Friday's 2-1 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes.
"Scott has an upper-body injury, probably going to keep him out for at least a week," Holmgren said. "We will know better [Saturday]. Vinny's is a lower-body issue; he's probably going to be out at least a week as well and we will know more [Saturday] on both guys once we have further evaluation."
Both Hartnell and Lecavalier are expected to have MRI's on Saturday.
Hartnell left the game in the first period and did not return, while Lecavalier checked Coyotes forward Antoine Vermette behind the net late in the second period and immediately went to the bench. He did not come out for the start of the third period.
"Well it's tougher, but it doesn't matter does it?" head coach Craig Berube said following Friday's game. "I mean, we've got to win hockey games. People will come in and fill in for them."
Sitting last in the Metropolitan Division and in need of offence, the Flyers face the Red Wings in Detroit Saturday night before returning home to open a three-game homestand beginning Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks.

Zipcar: Avis Makes a Smart Acquisition
Andrés is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Shares of Zipcar (UNKNOWN: ZIP.DL2) were exploding higher by 48% on Wednesday after an acquisition offer by Avis Budget (NASDAQ: CAR) was announced. The rally in Zipcar is completely understandable considering that the price of $12.25 per share in cash means a premium of nearly 50% versus the previous closing price. But the real winner from this deal was actually Avis, which bought a high growth company at a conveniently low price.
Rationale for the Deal
The car rental industry has been consolidating over the last years. After the purchase of Zipcar, Avis will mostly compete with two big players, Hertz (NYSE: HTZ) – which recently acquired Dollar Thrifty for $2.56 billion – and privately held Enterprise Holdings.
Both Hertz and Enterprise holdings were already offering hourly rentals, so Avis had to do something about that in order to stay up-to-date on industry trends. By purchasing Zipcar as opposed to building the business from scratch, Avis starts with the right foot by eliminating a serious competitor in that space.
Hourly rentals are probably the future of the business, and it's especially attractive among the young and urban population, so this acquisition gives Avis the possibility to get right in the center of a very exciting niche which would not be accessible for Avis on its own.
And not only that, Avis is also buying a unique position in the car sharing business, Zipcar is the most respected brand in that sector by a far distance, and it has a loyal customer base of nearly 800,000 members. Avis is not just buying an entry into car sharing; it's buying the pole position.
Zipcar will also get some important benefits from the deal; the company will have access to better financial conditions and lower vehicle costs by being part of a much bigger organization. Zipcar is also having trouble at providing enough cars during weekends, when demand is higher, and having access to a much larger fleet can be a very valuable asset when it comes to cars availability and inventory management.
Some cost reductions in areas like insurance and administrative expenses should be expected too, management estimates savings between $50 million and $70 million annually, so the deal makes sense both from a competitive and operational point of view.
The Price
Even at a 50% market premium, Avis is paying $12.25 per share for Zipcar, which is quite lower than the lPO price of $18 in April 2011. In fact, the stock was trading in a range between $14 and $16 a year ago, so the premium isn't so large when seen in perspective.
More importantly, from a fundamental valuation point of view, Avis is paying 2 times sales for Zipcar, a very attractive valuation for a company with so many exciting growth opportunities. The acquisition is not only logical from a business point of view; Avis seems to be getting quite an attractive price for this deal.
The Risks
Zipcar and Avis target different kinds of customers, and they have different corporate cultures. The Zipcar brand has a very special identity among the young, environmentally concerned, demographic groups. There is a big risk of losing that identity if Avis goes too far with its operational integrations and cost synergies.
Zipcar customers value its conveniently located pickup points and friendly customer service. If Avis starts centralizing things and reducing the quality of the service, this could certainly backfire, as Zipcar customers have some very specific needs.
Costs savings are fine unless they start hurting the customer experience and damaging the value of the Zipcar brand. The two companies together provide some complementary advantages, but if Avis "swallows" Zipcar by imposing its own ways of doing things it will be making a very serious mistake.
Botton Line
The Zipcar acquisition looks like a smart deal, especially for Avis since it paid a very moderate price for the purchase. Unless they go too far with cost cuttings and hurt the value of the Zipcar brand, this move puts Avis in a privileged position to compete in the promising market of car sharing and hourly rentals.

Two explosions shook downtown shortly after 6:30 Friday night, and knocked out the lights.
Tucson Fire Department said that a transformer fire underground blew the street-level grate into the air on Congress between Church and Stone. No one was hurt. One person was checked and not transported anywhere. TFD said that about 30 people were evacuated from the area. Congress from 6th Avenue to Church was closed most of the night.
The outtage originally hit about 60 Tucson Electric Power customers downtown. Guaging the impact was difficult because one customer in downtown can be an entire building. As of 10 p.m. Friday night, all but five customers had their power restored. Work continued on the transformer.

Apple will be broadening its retail relationship with Target by opening mini-Apple stores within the retail chain's doors.
AppleInsider reports that an unnamed source shared the company's plans and that Apple will create branded areas in 25 Target stores. Apple is reportedly specifically seeking locations which can't sustain an Apple store. From the report:
The initial opening would be a small start, given that Target, the second-largest discount retail chain in the US, operates 1752 stores in the US. Apple has opened 359 of its own retail stores globally, 245 of which are in the US.

After a pair of "Duets" albums allowed Tony Bennett to revisit classic songs with the help of some younger stars, the 85-year-old singing legend is returning to the format, this time alongside Latin music's biggest names.
"Viva Duets," due out Oct. 23 on Columbia Records, will feature collaborations with Marc Anthony, Franco DeVita, Gloria Estefan and Juan Luis Guerra, among others, with performances in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The announced track list includes new takes on songs like "For Once in My Life," "The Very Thought of You" and "The Way You Look Tonight," with more artists and songs to be added to the current rundown.
Bing: Tony Bennett, Billboard's oldest chart-topper
The live duets were recorded in New York, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and in Guadalajara, Mexico. According to a press release, Bennett met many of the artists for the first time during the process. "Each of these artists were so warm and welcoming that there was an instant rapport," he says in a statement.
"Latin music has always been about melody and harmony and a lot of soul, so there was a very close artistic connection with each duet guest. I am absolutely thrilled about the record."
With his 86th birthday coming on Friday (Aug. 3), Bennett will give fans a present by releasing his duet with Chayanne on "The Best Is Yet to Come." The only non-Bennett song featured on the album is a duet with Vicente Fernandez on Dean Martin's "Return to Me." Last September, Bennett scored his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 when "Duets II," the follow-up to 2006's "Duets," debuted with 179,000 copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
"Duets II," featuring collaborations with artists like Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood and the recently deceased Amy Winehouse, made Bennett the oldest living act to capture the top spot of the chart.
Here is the current track list for "Viva Duets": "For Once in My Life" with Marc Anthony; "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" with Miguel Bosé; "The Very Thought of You" with Ana Carolina; "The Best Is Yet to Come" with Chayanne; "The Good Life" with Franco De Vita; "Who Can I Turn To?" with Gloria Estefan; "Return to Me (Regresa A Mi)" with Vicente Fernández; "Blue Velvet" with Maria Gadú; "Just in Time" with Juan Luis Guerra; "Are You Havin' Any Fun?" with Dani Martín; "The Way You Look Tonight" with Thalía; "Cold, Cold Heart" with Vicentico.

The Honda Dominator is the motorcycle that defined the 'urban trailie' craze of the Nineties. Beloved by town-bound motorcycle couriers and B-road hackers thanks to its punchy delivery, rufty-tufty build quality and commanding riding position the Honda Dominator still makes its mark as a value-for-money commuting motorcycle.
644cc, 39bhp, 92mph, Insurance group 8
The Honda SLR650 is a fairly joyless machine that barely redeems itself as a reasonably efficient commuter. Essentially it's a more heavily road-biased Dominator built at Honda's plant in Spain, back in the days when the Continental factory's quality control occasionally went adios. A Honda CB500 is simply miles better.

Big trail bike you really can take off road. The Honda XRV750 Africa Twin was one of the first Japanese monster trail / desert rally bikes and remains one of the best.

No joke: The economy is surging
Despite a modest stock-market pullback and mediocre job and income gains, global manufacturing is growing at a pace not seen since early 2011.
While everyone is preoccupied with Syria and the related machinations in Congress, the economy is quietly posting its best performance in two-and-a-half years. Not just here at home, but globally as manufacturing activity revs up across Europe, in Japan and in China.
Investors aren't paying attention because they're worried about Syria and the potential for Russian/Iranian/Hezbollah retaliation to any airstrike, as well as the specter of a spike in oil prices. They're worried about the looming budget negotiations in Washington as we once more approach the debt ceiling. And they're worried that the Federal Reserve will pull back its cheap money stimulus.
If we can clear those hurdles, the real economy is poised for a big rebound. Here's why.
Just look at the U.S. ISM Manufacturing index that was released on Tuesday. The reading for August came in at 55.7, following on July's 55.4 result (any reading over 50 indicates month-over-month growth in manufacturing activity). Compare that to the sub-50 reading we saw back in May.
(Post continues below video.)
According to the folks at Capital Economics, the current level of activity suggests overall GDP growth will increase to a 3% annual rate in the current quarter. Again, this is a level of strength we haven't seen since early 2011.
It's a similar story globally. Europe is exiting its recent recession, with the Eurozone Manufacturing PMI increasing to 51.4 for the best result since May 2011. German activity hit a 25-month high. The U.K. Manufacturing PMI came in at 57.2 with the manufacturing output subindex posting its best performance since July 1994.
In China, the manufacturing sector is finding its footing again after Beijing's efforts to crack down on excessive lending dampened growth over the summer. China's HSBC Manufacturing PMI returned to growth last month with a 50.1 reading -- recovering from an 11-month low of 47.7 in July. Japan's JMMA Manufacturing PMI posted its sixth successive month of month-over-month growth on an acceleration in both production and new orders.
Earlier this year, the stock market soared while the economy struggled. Now, the relationship has reversed. While that's great news for middle class families waiting for a better job market or a long delayed raise, it means that investors face an even more treacherous market this autumn as a long list of catalysts are poised to buffet stock prices.
That's why you're seeing stocks in key economically-sensitive areas like steelmakers and key industrial commodities like copper struggle to get traction. Just look at the Market Vectors Steelmakers (SLX) and the iPath Copper (JJC), and compare to the chart of manufacturing activity above. Clearly, the market believes the manufacturing rebound will prove short lived.
If we can get past Syria, the budget battle and the Fed taper with limited dramatics, the economy could finally achieve the "escape velocity" we've been waiting years for and return to a more normal growth rate, ending the long post-recession slog.
But until then, investors need to remain cautious with larger-than-normal cash allocations.

Smoke and Mirrors,
How nice of the Wall Street bluebloods, the CEO's and the privileged, ensconced in their tailored Zegna suits, Gucci loafers and Mercedes Benz roadsters to tell everyone else that the economy is just peachy.... and getting better by the moment. There seems to be no end in sight of the corporate shills and professional BS artists who write about the economy and the 'mouthpieces' for our esteemed Federal government that tout it's 'continued healthy growth'.
Perhaps if I was not eating P&J sandwiches, Ramen and pork n' beans most every day, I too would probably believe all of this 'crapola' that is infecting the media like the bubonic plague. Let's get real, the economy sucks for the vast majority of the 312 million average Americans, and it is getting progressively harder for virtually everyone just to keep treading water...let alone get ahead. These pundits and blowhards continue to lie by slathering layer upon layer of lipstick on the pig...but the pig is quite comatose and very near death. Peace to all ~

Can I punch the camera person in the face? Or could someone _please_ tell him how to use the iris setting on the camera. _please_ I mean I can understand not using a tripod, but you could at least set up your camera so it'll work.
Quite cheap
I looked em up, and they're not too expensive for a one-off model making service.
I've used their service
which is excellent though at the moment a tad too expensive for anything other than experiencing the pleasure of holding your 3d work in your hand. But the prices are coming down and it shouldn't be long before it becomes a viable means of producing saleable products.
Looks cool
This looks pretty cool, I had a look at their pricing and it seems fairly reasonable. Could spawn lots of copy cats now!
This is not new
Go on... someone upload one of those 3D Escher models.... the infinity loop type... :)
If they charge on delivery, they've got the problem. If the charge up-front... do you have $infinity in your bank balance?
Can anybody extrapolate PH photos to a 3D model? Now that´s a real challenge, something with smooth round 3D surfaces...
Upload a goatse of some sort.
More online sites available with more material choices
Shapeways' site looks nice indeed, but the idea of online ordering is not new :
Materialise was already on the online market since 1997 has with their service called
OnSite, they have a big range of materials from which you can choose.
Shapeways offers a library of models, where OnSite expects you to have a model.
The site is a bit outdated and only supports Internet Explorer but works perfectly : a plugin installs so that you don't have to upload your model to see a price.

What do you expect from el-reg? Competence?
Just check the drivel the hacktards produce and you'll see that this is on a par with that.
Another classic El-Reg wtf-has-this-to-do-with-IT waste of time. I guess the hacktards get paid by the article regardless of quality or relevance.
Please stop posting crappy videos and start writing stories
We don't come here to watch third rate TV programmes, we come here to READ the news.
Is there nobody on the Register staff that is not too thick to understand that Flash demonstrates everything that's WRONG with the web and is most certainly not a panacea for avoiding putting pen to paper.
this is going to bring a whole new dimension to printing porn! -the PFY will be happy ;)

The consumer-oriented service is novel but the tech is old
Design consultancys have been getting rapid prototypes made like this for over a decade. You can even get multi-coloured parts made by some machines that add pigment to the plastic they lay down, and the bleeding edge is to lay down electric "wiring" and eventually components.
It is also hoped to be useful for making replacement spacestation parts on the Moon & Mars where it isnt convenient to wait for Spaceman Pat to deliver from Earth.
It will be exciting to see what happens as rapid prototyping techniques become available and affordable to hobbyists and amature users.
I Agree.
I, like many people, read The Register while I'm at work. What I want is a quick flick through the day's technology news at my own pace. I'm not going to be pissing about with headphones and then sitting through some idiot (usually) nattering repetetively and verbosely while some shaky, pixellated crap wobbles on the screen in front of me.
"Video news" = epic FAIL.
You can do rapid prototyping now? WOW! Whatever next? Soon you'll tell me that I can download music directly to a cassette player. WOW!

Ladies, it's time to start air-drying your hair the RIGHT way.
Coming to a departures gate near you—New York's famed Black and White Cookies from Ess-a-Bagel.
Paris, j'arrive! Editorial Director Mollie, Social Media Senior Manager Rachel, and I are jetting to the City of Light to pow-wow with our lovely colleagues from Birchbox France, UK, and Spain. I'm leaving plenty of room in my suitcase for Parisian discoveries to tote back to New York, but I couldn't leave without these key staples:
Our school days are long behind us, but we still get nostalgic around this time of year. That was the impetus behind Head of the Class, our latest limited edition box, and our Back to School shop category. And with the start of classes right around the corner, we asked a real teen—Birchbox Blog star Becca Zimmerman—to clue us in to how the kids are prepping for school these days.
The week before school starts can be a little bit stressful: finishing up summer reading, buying school supplies, and, of course, making sure that you come in to classes looking and feeling amazing. Here are a couple ways I'm kickstarting my routine before the first day:
One of the most important things about first day prep is having clear, healthy skin. An exfoliator is great because it gets rid of dead skin cells and buildup on top of your skin, and makes it feel smooth and refreshed. You can use a daily exfoliator in the shower, like Yes To Grapefruit Daily Facial Scrub, or you can use a more powerful exfoliator once or twice a week. My favorite exfoliator of all time is WEI's Pomegranate Buffing Beads, which feel kind of like sand from the beach, but make your skin so soft afterwards. If you are new to exfoliators or have sensitive skin, I suggest using a daily scrub every two or three days and then build your way up to something more powerful so that you don't hurt or dry out your skin.
Any Michiganders out there? This week our senior manager of social media, Rachel, is leaving for her wedding in Charlevoix, Michigan! (Note: longtime Birchbox fans have probably been anticipating this day since October when her engagement bling started popping up all over our Instagram feed.)
Before Rachel left Manhattan for her two week stint in the Midwest we made her spill the beans about which products made the cut for her big trip. Here's what she's taking with her, and why:
We hope you've been keeping up with us while we track the development of this year's Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) and their Beauty Insider Choice Awards.

Staffer Caroline is a frequent source of hair admiration around the office since her natural curls somehow achieve that perfect balance of weightlessness and a total lack of frizz. Luckily, we convinced her to show us exactly what she does each morning to get her curls so defined and lovely. Check out the video below to see her routine and the products she swears by—there's even a trick in there I'm appropriating for my naturally straight hair!
Caroline isn't the only one sharing her go-to products: find our Cofounders' and Editorial Director's must-haves in the Birchbox Shop.
I've been growing out my hair over the last year, and now that it's waist-length, hair maintenance has become a real problem. My ends are really dry and my once-perfect, now-bushy side bangs tend to hide my face. I fear that my resemblance to Chewbacca is growing by the day (just kidding). Fed up with my unkempt strands, I asked my Birchbox co-workers for a remedy, and hair whiz editor Meredith immediately jumped in with a recommendation: the Ojon rare blend Deep Conditioner. According to Meredith, it's one of the best deep conditioners she's ever used (and that's some high praise coming from her). After listening to her accolades, I snagged a sample and now I'm adding it to my must-have list!
Doing your hair can be a challenge and let's face it: Throwing it up into a topknot every day gets boring. Christina over at Hair Romance believes your hair is your best accessory and it should always be treated at such. This week, she's sharing all her best tips and tricks to make every day a good hair day.
Healthy hair is not just what you put on the ends of your hair, but also about what you eat. These are the top 10 foods to include in your diet for a more lustrous head of hair.

A cold front is slowly drifting south across East Texas this afternoon. Temperatures south of the front will warm well into the 70s to near 80 degrees across Deep East Texas. North of the front temperatures will remain steady and even drop through the 50s.
In addition to a wide range of temperatures, isolated thunderstorms may develop as the front moves into Deep East Texas. Any thunderstorm that develops could produce large hail, gusty winds and even an isolated tornado.
The good news is the chance of thunderstorm development is not very high, making the threat of severe weather low. The best chance of seeing a severe thunderstorm today is along and south of a line from Center to Nacogdoches to Crockett.
A second front will move through the area tomorrow bringing another chance of showers and thunderstorms. Right now there is a slight risk of a severe storm or two again tomorrow across Deep East Texas. The greatest chance of severe weather tomorrow appears to be off to our east in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Behind the second front, much colder air will move into the area. Temperatures on Sunday will struggle to get out of the 50s. By Monday and Tuesday mornings parts of East Texas could see a light freeze. Record lows for both days are in the middle 20s, so no records look to be set but it will be well below normal through Thursday of next week.

UNICEF works for children in more than 190 countries. We believe that every child, no matter who they are or where they live, has the right to grow up safe, happy and healthy.
In 1989, governments worldwide promised all children the same rights by adopting the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. These rights are based on what a child needs to survive, grow, participate and fulfil their potential. They apply equally to every child, regardless of who they are, or where they are from.
The Convention is the basis of all our work. UNICEF is the only organisation working for children recognised by the Convention.
It's the most complete statement of children's rights ever produced and is the most widely-ratified international human rights treaty in history.
All UN member states except for the United States, Somalia and South Sudan have approved the Convention. The UK signed it on 19 April 1990 and ratified it on 16 December 1991. It came into force in the UK on 15 January 1992.

The Wapakoneta Redskins had a solid season opener Saturday in the Findlay Duals wrestling tournament, going 3-2 in five dual matches.
The Redskins edged the Elmwood Royals, 32-31, handled an All-Star Team, 50-15, fell to the Eaton Eagles, 45-24, nipped the Whitmer Panthers, 37-34, and lost to the Bellevue Redmen, 42-34.
In each match, the Redskins left three weight classes empty.
PIQUA — The Wapakoneta Redskins had strong starts to each half Friday, showing flashes of potential, but neither time were they able to sustain their level of play in the first game of coach Doug Selvey's tenure.
The Piqua Indians rolled to a 71-41 win Friday over Wapakoneta at Piqua High School's Garbry Gymnasium in a non-league varsity boys basketball contest, on the first day of the 2013-14 regular season.
From staff reports
Sectional tournament sites for 2013-14 winter sports are beginning to be finalized for Ohio High School Athletic Association postseason competition, as the Northwest District Athletic Board has posted dates and sites for its tournaments.
The Wapakoneta boys basketball team will play in a Division II sectional Feb. 25 and 28 at Lima Senior High School, joined by Bath, Celina, Elida, Shawnee and St. Marys.
The Wapakoneta Redskins are ranked second in the Western Buckeye League all sports standings after the fall season, which were posted Tuesday on the Western Buckeye League website.
The Redskins have 54 points behind league leader Celina's 64.5.
Wapakoneta's lone fall WBL title came from the girls tennis team, which went 9-0 in WBL matches.
The football team was runner-up in the league with an 8-1 record, while Kenton was the WBL champion at 9-0.
The Wapakoneta Redskins were swept by the Findlay Trojans on Tuesday at the University of Findlay, in the season opener for high school swimming and diving.
Findlay won the girls meet, 102-78, and the boys meet, 132-52.
Recording a first-place finish in the 100-yard butterfly was Wapakoneta senior Taylor Law, who finished with a time of 1 minute, 8.17 seconds to score six points.
Taylor Hager won the 100 yard butterfly in a time of 1:08.17 and took second in the 50 yard free with a time of 29.25.
Harmon Field in Wapakoneta will host two more playoff games this weekend, making it six total for the fall of 2013.
The site will feature a Division VI state semifinal between Mechanicsburg (11-2) and Haviland Wayne Trace (12-1) at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Friday's game will be Mechanicsburg second straight playoff game at Harmon Field.
Sara Warner and the rest of the Wapakoneta Redskins just kept shooting Friday, and those shots just kept going in.
The Redskins used a torrid start in the first period Friday to establish a comfortable lead the rest of the game, as Wapak recorded a 67-40 non-league win over the Bellefontaine Cheiftains in the first regular contest of the varsity girls basketball season for both teams.
The Botkins Trojans played Friday's game on a roller coaster, starting at the top in the first half before falling briefly in the third period only to get back to the top.
The Trojans eventually regained their focus and sealed a 49-30 win over the Riverside Pirates in a non-league varsity girls basketball contest in DeGraff.
Botkins opened Friday's game with a 12-1 first period lead and extended its margin to 19 with a 13-5 advantage in the second period, to lead 25-6 at halftime.
The Waynesfield-Goshen Tigers, with two freshmen making huge impacts, ran past the Shawnee Indians on Friday to notch a win in their season opener.
W-G operated a solid transition offense throughout its 78-57 win Friday in the first day of varsity girls basketball action.
In their high school hoops debuts, point guard Emily Patton had 35 points while center Alicia Kessler recorded a double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds.
Patton's performance included two 3-pointers, five assists and three steals.
The Wapakoneta Redskins had 12 players selected to the Division III All-Northwest District football teams for the 2013 season.
The all-district teams for all divisions were released Thursday.
Wapak had three first-team selections, senior offensive lineman Kyle Gonterman, senior running back Zach Schmerge and junior defensive end Thomas Schoenlein.

The cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento took a major step this week in bidding goodbye to the 101-year-old I Street Bridge.
Officials say they just got word that the federal government has approved the first piece of what will likely be a $77 million grant to plan and build a modern, multimodal bridge to the north of the old railroad span.
The feds granted an initial $11 million for planning.
"This is a huge milestone in getting the project started," West Sacramento Mayor Chris Cabaldon said.
They're considering a low-profile bridge with tracks for a streetcar and ample space for pedestrians and cyclists.
The I Street Bridge won't go away. Union Pacific owns it, and will continue to run trains on its lower level.
Ride of Silence
On Wednesday, as part of bicycle safety month, some Sacramento cyclists will gather for a slow, silent ride to honor cyclists who have died, and to raise awareness about cycling safety.
The 10th annual Ride of Silence starts at 15th Street and Capitol Avenue at 7 p.m. and ends at Hot Italian restaurant.
"Hopefully our efforts ... will bring a deeper awareness to motorists to share the road safely with cyclists," said spokeswoman Sonya Lovine.
Cyclist remembered
The Ride of Silence will pass one of those white "ghost bikes" at Sacramento State, where student Arlene Sasse, 22, was killed by a car two years ago.
Recently, we noticed something new and delightful there: Perched next to the white bike is a cheerful, multicolored bike. Our guess is those who knew her are celebrating the life of a vibrant young woman.
"It gives me comfort that she is not forgotten and I know that she made a difference," said her mom, Mieke van Wolferen.
Airport hotels grounded
New Sacramento airport exec John Wheat learned quickly about Sacramento's levee wars. The airport is in serious talks with a developer for two terminal-side hotels, a Hyatt and a Marriott.
But the airport also is in the Natomas floodplain, which is subject to a 4-year-old federal building moratorium until Congress comes up with funds to improve the levees.
"We're not going to solve the hotel issue until we get that solved," Wheat said.
Top flying complaints
We leave you with a quiz. What's the top complaint at airport security lines, and the main complaint about economy-class flying?
A recent study by the Travel Leaders Group agency found most people complain about having to take off their shoes at security. On board, it's the lack of leg room. Small seat size was the No. 2 complaint.

Blood Cholesterol Levels
Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver or consumed in certain foods. It is needed by the body, and the liver makes enough for the body's needs. When there is too much cholesterol in the body-because of diet and the rate at which the cholesterol is processed-it is deposited in arteries, including those of the heart. This can lead to narrowing of the arteries, heart disease, and other complications.
Some cholesterol is often termed "good," and some often termed "bad." A higher level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or HDL, is considered "good," and gives some protection against heart disease. Higher levels of low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, are considered "bad" and can lead to heart disease. A lipoprotein profile can be done to measure several different forms of cholesterol, as well as triglycerides (another kind of fat) in the blood.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is another major risk factor for heart disease. It is a condition where the pressure of the blood in the arteries is too high. There are often no symptoms to signal high blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure by changes in lifestyle or by medication can lower the risk of heart disease and heart attack.
Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes also increases a person's risk for heart disease. With diabetes, the body either doesn't make enough insulin, can't use its own insulin as well as it should, or both. This causes sugars to build up in the blood. About three-quarters of people with diabetes die of some form of heart or blood vessel disease. For people with diabetes, it is important to work with a healthcare provider to help in managing it and controlling other risk factors.

Baseball's home conference opener a positive one
Boxscore | NC Season Stats
GREELEY, Colo. – For the third consecutive week, junior left-handed pitcher Joe Willman started the Northern Colorado baseball team off on the right note in a conference series. Friday at Jackson Field, Willman led the Bears to an 11-6 victory over Texas-Pan American, improving the team to 5-4 in Great West Conference play.
Willman pitched 6.2 innings, allowing five runs on 10 hits with three walks and two strikeouts. Younger brother, Kevin, pitched 2/3 of an inning, giving up one run on two hits with one walk and senior Brendan Hall finished out the game, not allowing a hit and striking out two over the final 1.2 frames.
Hall has pitched 4.1 innings of hitless baseball this week, after throwing 2.2 innings in a winning effort at Air Force on Tuesday.
"Brendan is really taking advantage of the opportunities he has left," said Head Coach Carl Iwasaki. "We know Joe Willman's going to battle every time. He fights through adversity and I thought the key to the game was in the first inning. The bases were jacked with no outs and Joe just wills it and fights through and allows only one in the inning."
Northern Colorado scored its 11 runs on nine hits with two UTPA errors and the benefit of 12 walks. Junior Jarod Berggren hit his third home run of the year in the fifth inning, a two run shot into the wind in left field to open an 11-2 lead for the Bears. Junior Adam Hilker, freshman Matt Jones and senior Marcus Valenzuela each had two hits on the afternoon to lead the offensive efforts.
Junior Casey Coy was on base four times, but went 0-for-1 officially, as he was hit twice and walked twice. Six different Bears drew a pair of base on balls.
Junior Ben Packard led the team with three RBI, hitting a bases-clearing double down the right field line in the second inning after the Broncs walked the bases loaded.
"We had timely hitting," said Iwasaki. "I'm satisfied with how we played. We made a couple of plus plays defensively – there were two great catches by Berggren – and we have a great combo up the middle in (T.J.) Berge and Hilker. We're playing our best ball when it counts, which is right now."
In one of the strangest first innings this season, the Bears scored one run on one hit. With two outs and Berge on first after reaching on a fielder's choice, Packard was hit by a pitch and Berge was thrown out attempting to steal second. However, the officials called it a dead ball, ruled the pitch a ball, and Packard ended up drawing a walk. In the following at bat, Berggren hit a chopper back up the middle that deflected off the pitcher's glove, but the ball was again called dead as the home-plate umpire called catcher's interference. Coy was then plunked on the left shoulder to plate Berge and knot the score at 1-1.
The Broncs scored one run in the top of the second, but the Bears scored three in the second, three in the third and two each in the fourth and fifth to break the game open.
The two teams return to the diamond for a doubleheader on Saturday. Game one is scheduled to start at 11:00 am and is a seven-inning contest. Sunday's game, the finale in the series, has been changed and will start at 10:30 am.

Holiday villas in Costa Adeje are in a fantastic spot for family getaways. This part of the island is blessed with a series of lovely of beaches, as well as two of Tenerife's premier family attractions, Aqualand and Siam Park. The scenery is spellbinding and much of it is protected by natural parks. One way to get out and experience these landscapes is to make for the the local golf courses, which have beautiful coastal settings.
At a holiday apartment in Costa Adeje the ocean and its many beaches will never be far away, but for those who fancy a swim in peace and seclusion nearly every rental here has the advantage of a private pool and garden. Interiors are set up with the conveniences and comfort expected of a luxury family home—most feature home entertainment including DVD players and satellite TV, as well as internet access. To widen the search, take a look at our choice of holiday apartments in Callao Salvaje a little further up the coast.
-Beaches: This is the best place to be for beaches, with no fewer than five close by—Torviscas, Pinta, La Troya, del Duque and Fañabé. These are all perfectly laid out for tourism. For an active day it's possible to choose from a range of watersports like windsurfing and waterskiing, and if relaxation is in order then they are all complemented by sunshades and sunbeds.
-Golf: The southern part of Tenerife has an abundance of courses, the closest of which is Golf Costa Adeje. This is an 18-hole course loved for its broad greens and complemented by practice facilities that include a driving range, pitching areas, putting greens and practice bunkers. Minutes along the coast are two alternatives at Golf del Sur and Amarilla Golf.
-Attractions: Justifying Costa Adeje's reputation as a family destination is the presence of two of Tenerife's top days out for kids. Siam Park is a Siamese-themed waterpark with extraordinary attention to detail, featuring the world's longest lazy river, a wave pool with an artificial beach, a six-lane slide and much more. Aqualand is also close by and combines slides and flumes with wildlife shows and exhibits.
-Local history: Set on higher ground away from the coast is the old town of Adeje where colonial architecture overlaps with the island's indigenous heritage. Well worth seeing here is the Casa Fuerte, a fort from the 1500s that was constructed to repel pirate attacks and for three centuries was at the very heart of the city.
-El Teide: This stratovolcano is set within a National Park and is visible from almost every part of the island. The peak sits at 3,718 metres high, making it the highest point in all of Spain. For some of the year the summit has a dusting of snow, so for those going to the top via the cable car it's worth wrapping up. There are also trails to explore throughout the park, from which spectacular volcanic landscapes can be enjoyed all around.
No matter the time of year, conditions in Costa Adeje should be pleasantly warm. Tenerife is often referred to as the Island of Eternal Spring, and holidaying at a Costa Adeje apartment it will be easy to see why. As the island is on the same latitude as the Sahara Desert temperatures fluctuate little from season to season. From April to October daily highs climb to between 24 and 28?C. The period between November and March is only marginally cooler but still gets highs in the low-20s—this season coincides with a little more rain.
Costa Adeje holiday villas are handily located not far from Tenerife South Airport (TFS). For guests travelling to the island from the UK this is the main way in. The airport handles a host of routes from the UK throughout the year, generally via low-fares airlines. Costa Adeje is connected to the airport by the TF-1, and the 20-kilometre drive shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Public transport is also an option—there are direct buses (110 and 111) from the arrivals terminals to Costa Adeje with a journey time of about 30 minutes.

While the search effort to find Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins has involved not only police and hundreds of volunteers, the search effort also is involving children.
A group of kids have a sno-cone & lemonade stand, but they also have flyers up, and are taking donations to help with the search efforts.
One of the kids, Rebecca Walser, says she's always wanted to do a charity, and this was her perfect chance. "It's just nice to do, you know. You feel bad for the family and friends and everybody who is going through this."
The kids say they'll keep their lemonade stand open as long as they have the lemonade to make, to spread the message to help find the girls.

Demolition has begun on the West High School as the semester comes to a close.
Construction crews started demolishing the West High School Wednesday morning. The school suffered severe structural damage after the April 17th explosion. It lies just a few hundred hours from the blast site.
Crews were going to start Tuesday, but it was delayed due to weather. Now that it has started, teachers and faculty say it was very emotional seeing it torn down.
"Well it's sad just for the whole High School, lots of memories," West art teacher Diana Whiteley said. "We had a great time."
Whiteley's room and office were one of the first sections to be demolished Wednesday. She fought back tears as she recalled the memories of the building she spent six years working.
"We had a great time, it was a great facility, something that everyone was very proud of," Whiteley said.
Students also fought back tears remembering the times at the old high school. Junior Holly Soukup says she made a lot of good memories, specifically in the cafeteria.
"We're going to cry, we have so many memories made in that building and just thinking about it now I'm stopping my tears, Soukup said. "To see those memories demolished, it's like a part of us is missing."
Senior Jackson Kucera says his last memory of the building is having a water balloon fight the day of the explosion.
"Everyday I think about it and I wish we were back there," Kucera said. "We know we can't go back in and everybody wants to see it one last time. But it's time for it to go and time for us to move on, there's bigger and better things for us."
The demolition comes the week before the first full school semester after the explosion ends. As everyone prepares for the break, students and faculty looked back on how the temporary campus worked. Both say, they're doing alright. It started out kind of rocky, but it's getting better.
"But I feel like things have really smoothed out, calmed down, more routine now. So it's a better feeling at this point in the year than it was say in August," Whiteley said.
As an art teacher Whiteley says one of her main issues with the campus is lack of storage. She has to fit in a classroom and a storage room in the same temporary classroom. She says when she has her full allotment of students, it can get pretty tight.
Whiteley says one of the nicer things about the campus is the open spaces. Connecting each temporary building is a wooden boardwalk, and when students walk out of class they're outside in the fresh air. Students also say that's nice, but it can get pretty rough when hot or cold temperatures come through.
Whiteley also says the situation has brought students and faculty together. She says everybody is pretty happy with the temporary campus.
Kucera and Soukup agreed saying they like the boardwalk. They also say they're completely fine with graduating from the temporary facility. While they miss their old school, as long they graduate from West, they'll be happy.
West Independent School District plans on building a new high school. That is set to be completed in 2015.

Saudi Arabia about to build a whole new city next to Mecca!
Saudi Arabia will build a new city for 600,000 people near Makkah, according to Arab News.
Named Makkah Gate, the residential and administrative city will be developed under a public-private partnership on the Makkah-Jeddah Highway with 45 districts.
Spanning an area of 83m sqm, the project will include educational institutions, government offices, shopping centres, housing units and a national park, Makkah Mayor Osama Al-Bar said.
The master plan was approved on Sunday.
Saudi Arabia is creating several new cities across the kingdom, particularly near the religious cities of Makkah and Medinah, as its population rapidly grows.
In July, it was announced a "pilgrim city" would be built for 200,000 Muslims who travel to Madinah for Haj and Umrah.
The state-of-the-art city would cover 1.6m sqm and include hotels, furnished apartments, a railway and bus station, government offices and a 400-bed hospital.
Construction of a new "mega city" in Rabigh, 150kms north of Jeddah, was due to begin after Ramadan.
The Indian developer in charge of the project, Gammon Group, said was worth SR10.9bn ($2.9bn) and would include an advanced hospital, a petrochemical plant, other industrial areas, schools, mosques and residential villas and cover 20m sqm of land formerly owned by a former Rabigh governor.
