Magnolia was into costume wear and period pieces, but her co-workers (and her boss) thought it was time she wear something more serious.
C$ is a professional DJ who's about to try and start his own company. But he needs some suits to wear to business meetings—no more baseball caps and chains, C$!
Nermal LIVED in sweaters, but her sister thought her look was too "Anne Hathaway in Devil Wears Prada before she got the job."
Style tip: Try not to look too matchy-matchy. Sometimes mixing patterns and colors is okay, if you can do it right.
Style tip: Don't wear clothes that drown out your natural shape—it will just make you look bigger than you actually are.
Candy's daughter was SO embarrassed that her mom still wore that leopard print dress from the 80s. It was time for an update.
The whole school girl thing was a bit…inappropriate for someone Myra's age. She needed a whole new wardrobe that said "I may still look young, but I respect myself and want to be taken seriously."
To be honest, the Native American look has already come and gone. It's OKAY to wear black trousers, a colorful top, and a great shoe to work—you can still look like YOU.
Nancy didn't go out much, and this was her go-to party dress. Time for something more modern…
The hipster thing is great if you're an artist in Portland, but Tammy was a young professional working her way up in New York, and needed some pantsuits and chic dresses to replace her current "vintage" wardrobe.
Yes Charlene, you have three kids and are in your late 40s, but your husband would love to see you in something other than this diva shirt you insist is hilarious. How about a summer dress paired with a kitten heel that you can wear on a dinner date with the hubby?
Style tip: just because you're a grad student burning the midnight oil with barely enough time to give yourself a comb doesn't mean you can't throw on a clean pair of slacks.
Betsy's knitwear was impressive, yes, but she should try and mix things up with some cotton staples, a straight-legged jean, and even a jersey dress for the summer.
Kate may have had a wild past, but she quit her job at the tattoo parlor eleven years ago, and needed something a bit more conservative. And with less skulls.

The Out Chef Putting Houston on the Culinary Map
Though she's been a fixture on Houston's foodie scene for two decades, written a memoir with recipes called Eating Hope, and competed on Top Chef Masters in 2010, Monica Pope admits she didn't know what her next venture would look like when she closed her still-popular restaurant T'afia.
"I had to let it die," Pope, a James Beard Award nominee, says of closing T'afia last summer. A new perspective on dining inspired her to open Sparrow Bar + Cookshop (3701 Travis, Houston; SparrowHouston.com) in its place — at the same address, to be specific. "I'm trying to make the food more flexible and sharable." That approach has led to a revamped menu of crafted cocktails and a menu updated daily based on the best of local producers' fare.
Eating at a restaurant that has a clear ethos about food can be a bit of a chore. Though there's a solid locavore and farm-to-table ethos at work at Sparrow, there's never even the subtlest hint of a lecture about the food you're eating when you're not here. The chickpea fries, venison, grits, mac and cheese, rabbit tenderloin, or seared scallops, prepared with Southern, Mediterranean, and African spices and techniques, all make convincing arguments for themselves. Most menu items are under $20, and the reservation books have been nearly full since the restaurant opened in August.

MindField festival postponed
It's all Gordon Brown's fault!
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 13 Apr 2010
The first stand-alone MindField festival in the POD complex has been postponed due to that pesky Gordon Brown.
"Following the announcement of the date of the British general election as May 6, a number of key UK-based speakers and hosts who had been booked for MindField became unavailable due to TV schedule commitments that were more demanding of their time than had been anticipated for the weekend of April 30 to May 2," reads an official statement. "We have taken the decision to postpone the MindField event until later in the year when we hope to programme a full event rather than proceed without a number of our high profile speakers. Full refunds for all shows are available from the point of purchase."
Among those who had been due to take part in the mainly spoken word bash were Jon Snow, Howard Marks, John Cooper Clarke, Robert Fisk and former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell.
MindField will however be returning to the Electric Picnic between September 4 and 6.

Love this shirt! I wanted something to go with the shoes my BF bought me for my bday. This TOTALLY fit the bill! I wanted something simple and classic like the shoe. This shirt was that and modern all at the same time. ... read more
Perfect mix of comfort with easy slip-on/off but fashionable enough to wear at work. Initially the tong or top of shoes comes in tight to the ankle but after a few days this actually stretches to be perfectly form fitting. Dirt will turn up on the light blue so did invest in black pair as well. ... read more
I bought my boyfriend two pairs of these shoes in red and green and when he saw them in yellow he had to have them. So... Suffice it to say, he loves them and wears them almost every day, and when he's not wearing these he's wearing his other stylish and comfortable adidas shoes I got for him. ... read more
Overall a great shoe! personally I could wear these everyday. they look good with anything shorts, pants, sweats all of the above! to me they aren't the most comfy shoes but I didn't expect them to be when I purchased them so there's no knock on them from me! GREAT SHOE ! ... read more
I usually wear a 10 but went with a 9.5 because that's all that was left and I figured the primeknit is stretchy enough but these shoes are too narrow to size down. Go true to size. The insole is nice on this shoe but the sole is like classic Superstars and pretty firm. If I got these in a 10 though I'd be very happy. Ended up returning them sadly. Quality is incredible however; 3M on the stripes, PK is super soft and it's an awesome twist on a timeless classic. ... read more
Love these shoes! I wear size 14 for most shoes but I got these in a 13 and they are perfect. They are a great shoe to wear going out on the worn. Perfect because it can be a dressy shoe but one that's actually comfortable! ... read more
The invader TUB be on that 8.5 out of 10. The Achilles padding and support is on point, LIKE Kobe could have used it a few years back. I'm beyond hyped on the support, along with the overall comfort. The one hiccup I did notice, was the over anxious amount of glue used while attaching the sole. Anyone who appreciates the fine details would notice. So for a headSNEAKER, that be a truth seeker, who's got the all seeing eye? Go get the TUBULAR invader, they DoPE! MONEYmatch don't lie ... read more
The shoe is very simple but also elegant. The leather heel tab adds a classy touch on it. Very comfortable as well. The only thing I didn't like is that the material sometimes folds or crinkles upon wearing the shoe. Amazingly comfortable and stylish. Will definitely recommend. ... read more
Very comfortable, simple shoe. The shoe is a little narrow but the elasticity of the fabric lets your foot breathe. Does indeed slip on. Highly recommend for those looking for a light, comfortable shoe while being stylish. ... read more
Good looking slip on. Only downfall is it crimps near the lip where you insert your foot and the fabric/stretchy material that hugs your mid side of your foot to be to tight causing it be uncomfortable after 2 hours. I've worn them several times already figured it would have broken the elasticity down abit. But not the case.. I have bring an extra pair slippers in my bag as a back up... ... read more
Nice shirt, but I'm gutted that the logo stuck together during washing and peeled off even if I followed washing instructions. It's a shame really, because if it weren't for the bad quality of the logo the shirt would get 5/5... ... read more
Great fit, model never goes out of style; adidas would como out with more original similar models. Chile 62, Special Japan OG, Cari Kasut, Rom, etc. I am a collector; but feel that adidas is missing the mark on more availability on the models aforementioned. ... read more
I think these are not great quality for an ADIDAS product.. I brought the stripey ones that are 100% better looking and comfortable.. So i brought these thinking they would be the same.. But they crease at the top and really look like they are worth about 10 dollars on.. very uncomfortable.. hopefully the next beach shoe designs will be more well thought out.. these are just lame quality and cut all round.. ... read more
This is a great summer shoe. They are light weight and comfortable, great to wear out, easy to clean. The only issue I found is that if you don't have slim enough ankles it may create a crease. All and all this is a great shoe to order! ... read more

After World War II, Benzedrine began to be prescribed for "fatigue." (College of Physicians of Philadelphia)
The plan succeeded. By the late 1930s college students used "pep pills" to increase their productivity. Amphetamine fueled American soldiers marching into World War II, served as the chatty muse to famous 1950s Beatniks, and worked as a "little helper" for disappointed 1960s housewives. It was the chemical copilot for long-haul truckers and the "speed" that roiled the Flower Children. Amphetamine and its variants would be hailed as medical miracles, then demonized as an addictive, life-destroying social scourge. But once Alles and SKF brought amphetamines into public consciousness, they never truly went away: the crystal meth and Ritalin of today are essentially the same drugs used (and abused) 70 years ago.
The story of amphetamine—its rise, fall, and inevitable return—is the story of the first psychoactive prescription drug, a drug valued almost entirely for its mood-altering effects. It began a new era of pharmaceuticals, and we are still working through the consequences today.
From Chemical to Medicine
In December 1934, SKF purchased the rights to Alles's amphetamine. But along with the purchase came the question of what the drug was actually good for. This was still the era of patent medicines, a time when newspaper ads hawked dubious cure-alls made from unspecified ingredients. These activities were all perfectly legal: with virtually no government oversight SKF could sell its new product without testing it beforehand. But getting word out to doctors meant advertising in medical journals, which required permission from the American Medical Association (AMA). And to gain the AMA's imprimatur, a drug had to be proven both safe and effective, which meant commissioning studies that could persuade the AMA Council on Pharmacy, an august body of doctors and scientists.
That said, safety studies were a relative formality. Animal testing helped establish a safe dosage range and revealed any obvious harm at high doses. With this information in hand researchers could move on to human testing, further refining the drug's application and looking for side effects. But many of the long-term questions we would expect to be addressed today—about the possibility of addiction, for example—went unanswered. A University of Pennsylvania study SKF used to prove amphetamine's safety focused mainly on its blood- pressure effects. The drug demonstrated no apparent ill effects, and the research later appeared in the highly regarded American Journal of Medical Science. That was proof enough for the AMA: amphetamine's safety stood confirmed.
The question of effectiveness, however, was of a subtly different kind. Eli Lilly's asthma and cold medicines were already successful, and SKF's Benzedrine inhaler aimed at roughly the same market. But amphetamine worked no better than ephedrine in that capacity; indeed, it was arguably worse. Without the cold-treatment option, SKF wanted another large market. So the effectiveness question had an implied addendum: what problem does amphetamine effectively treat in a profitable way?
Amphetamine kept narcoleptics awake and seemed to quell the tremors of Parkinson's sufferers, but patient numbers in these groups were too small to create a profitable market. Both afflictions have a biological basis in the nervous system, and so it made sense to treat them with a nervous-system stimulant. SKF, though, chose to exploit the more subjective effect of amphetamine—what Alles had called the "feeling of well being."
In early 1937 the new drug debuted: Benzedrine Sulfate, which evoked a positive association with SKF's own inhaler brand. This new version was a pill, though, and no simple cold medicine. In a mailing sent to 90,000 doctors (almost the entire AMA membership) SKF declared "the main field for Benzedrine Sulfate will be its use in improving mood."
Meanwhile, several clinical studies had shown that amphetamine had little effect on severe depression, anxiety, or schizophrenia. In fact, it often exacerbated the last two: a revealing finding that became significant only later, when physicians began to see cases of "amphetamine psychosis." Amphetamine did, however, help cases of mild depression, which fit SKF's plan to emphasize the drug's mood-altering effects. In December 1937 the AMA Council on Pharmacy granted permission to advertise the drug as a new treatment for narcolepsy, Parkinson's, and mild depression. Benzedrine Sulfate had become the first prescription anti-depressant, and SKF's marketing began in earnest.

Utah did more against better teams in both BCS runs than BYU did in 1984. You do not "win" a national championship in division 1 football you are appointed. By the way, did Michigan know they were playing in the "national championship" game?

An RSL qualification into the club World Cup will be a top 10 accomplishment.
Winning the tournament would rank #1.
RLS qualifying may not matter to the average sports fan in Pittsburg, but it will put Salt Lake on the world-wide sports map. Fans from London to Sao Paulo would notice this accomplishment.

It will be nice if they make it. But I believe the average sports fan in Utah is way more interested in how the Jazz, Utes, Cougars and Aggies are doing rather than RSL. Although this comes at a good time since there is not much else going on locally. Personally I am more interested in how the Bees are doing than RSL (if the Bees won the PCL I would be more interested than RSL winning MLS).

Yes it would be a bigger deal if Utah or the Jazz were playing in a championship. Well the bees? not even close. The bees stadium can't even hold enough people for the average attendance RSL game.

Japan Proposes Easing Restrictions on U.S. Beef Imports
Japan's health ministry said restrictions on U.S. beef imposed to safeguard against mad cow disease should be eased, paving the way for companies including Tyson Foods Inc. to boost shipments.
The ministry proposed relaxing the restrictions at a meeting of its expert panel today, saying risks for the brain-wasting disease have receded internationally.
"European countries have changed their safeguard measures in line with decreasing risks for the disease," Hideshi Michino, director at the ministry's office of imported food safety, said at the meeting in Tokyo. "We need to revise our policy for testing and import control."
Japan, the biggest buyer of American beef before an outbreak in 2003, restricts U.S. beef imports to cattle aged 20 months or younger on concern that older animals may be at higher risk for the disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The new rule may boost Japanese purchases from U.S. meat shippers, and contribute to President Barack Obama's target to double exports in five years and create more jobs.
The government should consider if it is appropriate to adopt the standard set by the World Organization for Animal Health, Hisa Anan, a panel member, said at the meeting today
The organization, also known as OIE, voted in May 2007 to give the U.S. its "controlled-risk" rating for mad cow disease. The designation means controls are effective, and meat from U.S. cattle of any age can be safely traded. The group also recommends heads, spinal cords and spinal columns should be removed from all cattle older than 30 months before their meat are shipped, as the materials could spread the disease.
Health Risks
Japan requires U.S. meat shippers to remove the risk materials from all cattle of any age before exports.
The country's Food Safety Commission must confirm that any change in policy won't increase human health risks before the government decides to ease restrictions against mad cow disease.
"We will coordinate with the commission how to change the restrictions," said Michino at the health ministry. "We will also have discussions with relevant countries over beef import regulations."
Canada, France and the Netherlands are also asking Japan to relax control over beef imports, Michino said. Japan applies the same restrictions on imports of Canadian beef as the U.S., while the government retains ban on imports from the European countries.
Japan banned U.S. beef in December 2003, prompting restaurant chain operator Yoshinoya Holdings Co. to suspend sales of its "gyudon" beef bowl. The U.S. was the largest beef exporter to Japan after Australia in 2003, supplying 267,583 metric tons worth 128.5 billion yen ($1.6 billion), data from the agriculture ministry showed.
In the eight months ended Aug. 31, Japan imported 76,892 tons of U.S. beef, surging 48 percent from a year earlier, as the yen's rally to a postwar record against the dollar made American produce more affordable to Japanese consumers. Concern about the safety of domestic beef also boosted imports as fallout from a crippled Fukushima nuclear station tainted Japanese cattle feed and meat.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
With Halloween fast approaching, I thought it was high time I did another horror themed entry. I've had Bill Everett on the brain recently, as I am anxious to get my hands on Fire and Water, Blake Bell's new book on the legendary artist. So, this week I am presenting my 13 favourite Bill Everett horror covers:
13. Astonishing #4 (June, 1951)
Marvel Boy was one of the last superheroes created during the Golden Age. Times were changing, however, and his adventures became more supernatural in nature. This cover is a great example of Hero meets Horror. Sorry cover blurb, I don't really see much 'Science Fiction' going on here.
12. Uncanny Tales #51 (January, 1957)
This cover serves as proof that a great imagination was necessary to make horror comics interesting in the post-Code world. No monsters or zombies here, just a good concept with a beautifully designed cover.
11. Journey Into Mystery #9 (June, 1953)
Atlas produced a number of Killer/Monster P.O.V. covers during the 50s, including this fun cover. They were a terrific response to the Victim P.O.V. covers that were quite prominent. I really love the look of shock on the faces of the doctor and the nurse. Everett's ability to convey emotion with only the eyes is remarkable.
10. Heroic Comics #62 (September, 1950)
Here's one that I really like. While not a true, it certainly some horror/suspense aspects. Cars sinking underwater have always really freaked me out and Everett is able to capture the strange mixture of chaos and serenity. It's also a terrific example of his skill as a painter.
9. Menace #5 (July, 1953)
This is one of the most iconic of all Atlas horror covers. From my perspective, however, it suffers a bit in comparison to Everett's work on the actual story. Obviously Stan & Co. thought this was pretty great stuff as well, using it as a springboard for the Simon Garth character and series.
8. Mystery Tales #14 (September, 1952)
While this cover may not be a well known as some other Everett covers, I really love it. In fact, this is a consistently strong series that is often overshadowed by the likes of Marvel Tales and Spellbound. The sense of panic is palpable here, and the subterranean feel brings to mind Lee Elias' work on some Harvey horror covers.
7. Astonishing #57 (January, 1957)
This is another terrific post-Code cover. Everett demonstrates that a little work with lighting effects can go a long way in conveying atmosphere. I know that it is near heresy, but I often prefer these more subtle post-Code covers, as they create a real sense of intrigue as compared to a gore-based pre-Code cover.
6. Strange Tales #8 (July, 1952)
This is a terrific cover that manages to sneak in some aspects of Good Girl Art. I'm certain the girl is in shock, but shouldn't it be "For whom are you digging that?"
5. Spellbound #17 (September, 1953)
This is probably the most iconic cover on my list. It was 'borrowed' by Alexisonfire for the cover to their 2004 album Watch Out. I'm certain that I've seen it used elsewhere on posters etc…
4. Venus #19 (April, 1952)
How much more awesome could this cover be? The answer is none, none more awesome. It is absolutely amazing, and I especially love the attention Everett gives to every crease and fold in the clothing. It's definitely in my Top 10 Cuffs and Cufflinks.
3. Astonishing #61 (May, 1957)
Who doesn't love a good wax museum story? If you were to gauge from horror comics of the 50s, you'd think that there was a wax museum on every street corner. This is a terrific, restrained cover by Everett. It may not grab you at first, but a great deal of storytelling is going on here. I love the little touches that Everett added to his covers. In this case, it is the falling brochure that sells me on this cover.
2. Men's Adventures #23 (September, 1953)
Far from subtle, this cover is borderline ridiculous. I love these old multi-panel covers produced by Atlas, during the 50s and early 60s. This one is almost in the 'horror comedy' category, just so unbelievably charming.
1. Journey Into Mystery #42 (January, 1957)
A post-Code cover as my number one choice? What about Menace #1 or Strange Tales #11? Well, those are both great covers and there are plenty of terrific choices I've had to leave off my list. This one just grabs me like no other covers. There were plenty of 'Under the Bandages' covers during this period, but none come close to this one. Everett's design is impeccable here and the choice of perspective is brilliant. How could a potential buyer not want to find out what was going on inside this book? Isn't that the whole purpose of a cover?
As I've said, I had to leave plenty of great covers off my list – but this are my personal favourites. Ask me again in a few weeks, and things may have change. As each year passes, Everett climbs further and further up my list of all-time artists. For more comic book talk, stop by my blog: Seduction of the Indifferent
Every one of those covers is a winner. I might need to pick up that Fire and Water book you mentioned after seeing this.
Here's a link to the book. Bell's Ditko book was fantastic, and this one is right at the top of my Christmas wish list.
There is an argument to make that the comics code (and heavily editorial restrictions in general) forced creators to be more creative by taking some more blatant and "easy" tools out of their tool box.
Just be prepared to be stoned if you make it.
You mean "For whom are you digging that?" Either way, she was too scared to use proper grammar.
I'd put #4 at #1, but that's because I am a hopeless Venus fanatic.
I can certainly understand that rationale and, while I'm against censorship, a talented artist like Everett shows that he can excel with whatever is left in his tool box.
If he was told that covers could only feature puppies and rainbows, he'd find a way to turn it into something intriguing.
Yes, yes. I was trying to be a smart ass, and paid the price. I get interrupted all the time here at the office, and my mind flutters. Can they see that Everett covers are much more important than whatever work they want me to do?
These are great but I wish you added years to the entries. I'm interested to track his evolution as an artist by seeing which covers are from which stage in his career.
Superb column, Scott. Everett (and Joe Maneely) produced such a huge number of classic horror covers for Atlas that it must have been excruciating to pick only ten. Everett's use of blacks was brilliantly spooky. His ghouls and monsters are genuinely frightening, and like Johnny Craig, his contemporary over at EC, Everett was a master of juxtaposing the ordinary with the weird/horrific.
Done and one.
It's all from a brief period.
Everett did a handful of horror covers just prior to his death in 1973 and, while they are all good, none quite measured up.
That was fast! Thanks Scott!!
"There is an argument to make that the comics code (and heavily editorial restrictions in general) forced creators to be more creative by taking some more blatant and "easy" tools out of their tool box. "
I agree the argument can be made, much like when a comedian is prevented from swearing. Boundaries often increase creativity in the truly talented.
Anyway, these are all excellent choices. I especially like #s 4, 12 and 13. Happy Halloween.
So I guess Venus was completely absent from her own title by this point?
I guess Farley's other face was on his torso?
Scott, if you do indeed see Fire and Water under your tree on Christmas morning I am sure you will be pleased indeed. I picked up a copy as soon as it hit the stores, and that wasn't fast enough for me. Long has Bill Everett been counted among my top few favourite artists. He was a true master through ages Gold, Silver and Bronze.. Bell spends much quality time on Everett's Atlas/horror period and we get close-up looks at some of the art you highlight here. For the record my favourite that you posted is Astonishing #57.
Mary: As far as I know (and I've only read up to #17), Venus was the main protagonist in all those weird horror-style stories. She was never pushed out of her own book in favor of other characters.
And I can't recommend Fire and Water highly enough; it's an outstanding bio/art book.
Yes, that Venus cover is my favorite too. Have those Venus books been collected into something reasonably-priced?
Some of the styles in these covers look so different from one another that I was sure there was a wider range of time periods being depicted, which is why I asked for dates. But seeing how close in time all the covers were to each other makes me realize, the man was just that versatile and could alter his style at will. That makes this already impressive gallery even more impressive.
# 2 would be my # 1.
#1 is also my #1: It does the job of making me NEED to know how the story plays out.
My #2 would be #4 (Venus).
Love these kinds of lists. Great subjective fun, and lots of leads for books to buy if I ever get the $$ together. Thx, Scott.
Ask not for whom the grave is dug, it's dug for thee.
Or something like that.
Bill Everett is probably my first great favorite artist. He died when I was only 9, and I'd only been reading comics for about a year then, but his '70s run on Sub-Mariner were among my favorites. I've adored his art ever since, Golden, Silver and Bronze. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford a rare original, but until then, his legacy lives on.
Thanks, this is one of my favorite columns! (Go ahead, add another 12 and make it your top 25…)
I like five and four the best.
My top 5: 4, 5, 6, 7, and 11
Very little of the 50s art survived but there is an alternate version of #3 on CAF

Strichen Stone Circle, Aberdeenshire
This circle had a troubled history. In 1773 Dr Samuel Johnson was distinctly underimpressed with it "some stones yet standing of a druidical circle, and what I begin to think more worthy of notice some forest trees of full growth" A teneat farmer cleared the stones, only to have to replace them on orders of the outraged landowner, but the reconstruction was slapdash and not true to the original form. The circle suffered durther depredations in the 1960s. In 1978 Strichen council set oout to restore the site, and after a scientfic excavation thew stones were restored truer to the original design. Strichen is a breezy site about 5 mins walk from the road.

HEY, I HAVE a suggestion for rank-and-file lawmakers:
Do something.
You'll have lots of downtime during the next few weeks.
You'll mostly be sitting around waiting for six or eight legislative leaders to agree on a new state budget.
Once they do - and that should take a while - you get to see what you're voting on to try to dig the state out of the big budget hole your past votes helped dig it into.

I am running graphite (per reading this blog by Etsy) on an Ubuntu 10.10 linux install on EC2. Basically it works, except that my server is constantly exhausting reported free disk space. I say reported free space because rebooting my server reduces the reported consumed space back down to about 2GB. As an attempt to alleviate this problem I symlinked the graphite/storage/whisper folder to /mnt, but to no avail - df still reports:

/dev/sda1 8256952 8256952 0 100% /
As far as I can tell I am only actually using about 2GB of storage space and all of my whisper data is in fact going to /mnt which has like 400GB of space available.
Can anyone recommend a configuration for graphite that will enable me to avoid having it reportedly exhaust storage on my primary disk? Also, does this issue have something to do with open file descriptors?
Here is my storage schema:
priority = 100
pattern = .*
retentions = 60:20160

Every summer I make do with the monotony and the boring, college football-less Saturdays by doing my best to scout all 120 FBS teams. Plus, as a gambling man and a rabid college football fan, I like to know what I'm talking about.
In this 12-part feature, I'll break down each conference, including the independents, ranking the teams in order of how good I perceive them to be heading into the season, complete with last year's W-L record and my predictions for each team's 2009 W-L record.
Feel free to comment on what a splendid job you think I've done and how my analysis and forecast is dead-on. Or you can disagree, whatever.
Part Seven: The deep ACC
12. Virginia Cavaliers | Last Year: 5-7 | My 2009 Prediction: 2-10
It doesn't look good this year for Virginia as they not only return a mere 11 starters on OFF and DEF, but the losses are significant as they lose all of their top WR's, their top RB, Cedric Peerman, as well as their top 4 tacklers on DEF. On the plus side, QB Jameel Sewell returns after sitting out last season due to academic ineligibility, which can only help the pass game that combined for 9 TD's to 20 INT's last season.
11. Duke Blue Devils | Last Year: 4-8 | My 2009 Prediction: 3-9
Last season marked the best improvement in the W-L column of the last ten years for Duke football-and they went just 4-8. In fact, over the last 9 seasons, the Blue Devils have only managed a total of 14 wins, including a 23-game losing streak, which started during the 2005 season and ended during the 2007 season. Had it not been for the one win in '07, the streak would have extended to 32 and been good for 2nd longest all time.
10. Maryland Terrapins | Last Year: 8-5 | My 2009 Prediction: 4-8
Maryland was just one of an amazing 10 teams from the ACC that made a bowl game last year, but also one of just 4 that actually won. This year, however, most of that team's starters are gone, so they'll have a much less experienced team.
9. Wake Forest Demon Deacons | Last Year: 8-5 | My 2009 Prediction: 4-8
Wake Forest certainly had their opportunities last year as 4 of their 5 loses were by 7 points or less. This year the OFF looks to be much more potent, which may help them to open games up a little more so they don't have to squeak games out. The OFF returns nearly intact as nine starters come back, including their entire stable of RB's as well as SR QB Riley Skinner, who had an up and down season last year but finished with a 63.9% completion rate.
8. Boston College Eagles | Last Year: 9-5 | My 2009 Prediction: 5-7
Boston College is going on their 3rd coach in 4 years, which is strange considering the amount of success they've had (30-11 last 3 seasons). You might expect a team with that much coaching turnover to be one with major problems and one struggling to find answers.
7. NC State Wolfpack | Last Year: 6-7 | My 2009 Prediction: 8-4
Head Coach Tom O'Brien has steadily improved his Wolfpack team, taking them from 3-9 when he took over to 5-7 his first year and 6-7 and a bowl game last year. This year I think he'll continue with the progression of his team.
6. Florida State Seminoles | Last Year: 9-4 | My 2009 Prediction: 7-5
Every year is "the year" when FSU finally gets back to its former self. While I don't think they'll be fully restored to their national powerhouse designation, they're certainly on their way. What FSU needs to do is not just win, but win without all the extra headlines and side-stories. Time will heal the wounds with wins serving as band-aids.
5. Miami Hurricanes | Last Year: 7-6 | My 2009 Prediction: 7-5
Miami returns 15 starters from last season including most of their playmakers on Off. The WR corps is young, as all three starters are sophomores, but experienced considering they all played as true freshmen. There's good depth at RB and will produce better numbers this year.
4. North Carolina Tar Heels | Last Year: 8-5 | My 2009 Prediction: 9-3
Butch Davis has made considerable improvement in his short tenure as Head Coach at NC by doubling the win total of year one to year two from four to eight. Expect the progression to continue this year as NC looks to be not only well-balanced, but loaded with experience and talent.
3. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets | Last Year: 9-4 | My 2009 Prediction: 9-3
Georgia Tech returns 18 starters this year, most in the ACC. The OFF looks to be loaded as almost everybody is back, most importantly, ACC Player of the Year, RB Jonathon Dwyer, who also lead the ACC in rush yards/game at 107.3 and posted a ridiculous seven yards/carry average. He'll be joined by another fantastic back, Roddy Jones, who was equally impressive moving the ball at an 8.5 YPC average.
2. Clemson Tigers | Last Year: 7-6 | My 2009 Prediction: 9-3
The Tigers lose their starting QB, Cullen Harper, top RB, James Davis, and top WR, Aaron Kelly from the team that was the ACC preseason favorite to win the conference last year. The Davis loss may not be so tough as the Tigers have RB C.J. Spiller, who had a better yards/carry average (5.4) than Davis (4.4), and is the highest ranked kickoff returner back from last season with 27.2 yards/return.
1. Virginia Tech Hokies | Last Year: 10-4 | My 2009 Prediction: 10-2
VT was picked to win their conference by the ACC media for the 4th time in six years and the Hokies even return a much more experienced and better team from last year when they won the ACC and a BCS bowl game.

The greatest investor of all time, Warren Buffett, has a famous quote about investing in companies: "I would rather buy a good company at a fair price than a fair company at a good price." Let's look at the WebMD (NASDAQ:WBMD) business to see which one it is and whether investors might consider it for inclusion in their portfolio.
Current State of the Business
WebMD is a health information provider to consumers, physicians, health care professionals, employers, and health plans. The company generates revenue from its public portals through the sale of advertising, sponsorships, and continuing medical education services. Its customers include pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, health care, services, and consumer product enterprises which sell products and related services concentrated in the health and wellness arena.
Balance Sheet (As of 12/31/2011)
Cash- $1,121,217
Total Debt- $800,000
Net Cash-$321,217
WebMD has a net cash position of over 5$ per share.
Full Year 2011 Results and 2012 Guidance
On February 23, 2012, WebMD announced its 4th quarter and full year results for 2011 and provided guidance for how it expects the business to perform in 2012. For the full year, revenue increased 4.5% to $558.8 million from $534.5 million in 2010. Net income was $74.6 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, aided by an $11.7 million gain from an investment and $10.4 million coming by way of discontinued operations. Without those items, net income would have been $53.8 million or $.90 per share, versus $61.2 million or $1.00 per share in 2010.
For the 4th quarter of 2011, revenue was down 10.6% to $150.7 million as compared to $168.5 million in 2010. Public portal advertising and sponsorship decreased 11% to $131 million from $145 million in 2010. Private portal services revenue also decreased by 7.5% to $20 million.
If we look at adjusted EBITDA as a metric for comparison, in the 4th quarter of the year, the 2011 total dropped 20.9% to $54.6 million from $69.1 million in 2010.
2012 Guidance
WebMD expects total revenue in 2012 to range between $500-$535 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to fall between $100-125 million versus $181.2 million in 2010.
Net income for the full year is expected to range between a loss of $2 million to $15 million or .(.04) to $.26 cents per share.
For the 1st quarter of 2012, WebMD expects:
Revenues of $105 million, down 20% from the same quarter of 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA of $11-12 million versus $38 million in 2011.
Loss from continuing operations of 9-13% of revenues as compared to income from continuing operations in 2011 of 8.4% of revenues.
The WebMD guidance reflects an uncertain spending environment for the pharmaceutical and consumer services industries.
Other Developments
WebMd is investing in its mobile platform with an eye for the future. According to the most recent earnings release, traffic to the WebMD Health Network continued to grow, reaching an average of 111.8 million unique users per month and total traffic of 2.32 billion page views during the fourth quarter, increases of 29% each, from a year ago.
Stock Repurchases
On March 6, 2012, WebMD announced it will start a Dutch auction to repurchase up to $150 million of its own common stock. The price range for the repurchase will range from $24.50-$26.00 per share. WebMD delivered the results of the auction on April 4, 2012.
Carl Icahn Is Buying
Famed activist investor Carl Icahn has been accumulating WebMD shares with a position of over 13% of the shares outstanding. The position has been increased from 11.64% with another purchase of over $200 million.
Here are a few statistics to look at for the current valuation of WebMD:
Key Valuation Measures of WebMD
|Market Cap (intraday):
|Enterprise Value (Apr 19, 2012)
|Enterprise Value/EBITDA (TTM)
It makes no sense to value WebMD based on trailing or forward earnings multiples as those ratios are inflated by a low earnings figure for 2012.
With 55.72 million shares outstanding (25% of which are owned by company insiders), the market capitalization of WebMD is 55.72*22.73=$1.265 billion. If we take management at its word and adjusted EBITDA is at the lower end of guidance for 2012, or $100 million, the current market cap/EBITDA ratio is 1265/100=12.65.
However, if we back out the cash and use enterprise value for valuation, the figures become 1,265-300=965/100 or 9.65.
If we look at average operating margin over the last three years, we get:
Operating Cash Flow
Total Revenues
Operating Margin %
The average operating margin at WebMD over the last three years is 9.77+21.09+20.5/3=17.12%
Clearly, 2012 is expected to be a down year for the company, but with the typical operating margin of the business running at close to 20% and the traffic totals to its network increasing, there is value in the shares because a buyer typically owns a growing asset with solid operating margins. The fact that 2012 is an off year could be an opportunity for those with a longer time horizon than the current year.
The Bottom Line: Decision Time
When you put it all together, you have a company in a very strong industry (to name a few- Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH), and Quest Diagnostics (DGX)), which is buying back its own shares.) The business is typically a sound one with good operating margins and a balance sheet with a great deal of cash. There is an activist investor with a great track record who is buying the shares at current levels. If you need a healthcare-related company, are willing to be patient and hang in there for a turbulent year, WebMD could be a good prescription for your portfolio.

The Bump Baby Registry
Now is the perfect time to start your Baby Registry!START A REGISTRY
Will my preemie's vaccination schedule be different from other babies because of her adjusted age?
No, vaccinations follow real or actual age, with the exception of the hepatitis B series, which is normally given at birth. The hepatitis B vaccine is more effective if it is given when a baby weighs at least 2,000 g (4 lbs 7 oz); so if a baby is at low risk for hepatitis B (meaning Mom tests negative for the virus), the vaccine will be delayed until a preemie weighs enough.

Could anyone please tell me what's the difference in meaning between the words 'shameless' and 'unashamed'?
unashamed is the negative of ashamed meaning not feeling shame, embarassment, etc.
shameless means not having any sense of shame, modesty, etc.
So you could be ashamed or (the opposite) unashamed, but if you are shameless you do not care about embarrassment, shame, modesty etc.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas House committee is meeting to begin work on the year's last spending bill.
That bill will be part of the plan legislators draft to eliminate a projected $328 million deficit in the next state budget.
Legislators already have approved a $13 billion spending plan for the state's 2010 fiscal year, which begins July 1. But last week, state officials and university economists slashed revenue projections, creating the budget gap.
After hearing from legislative staff Tuesday, the House Appropriations Committee was to break into subcommittees to consider different parts of the budget. The entire panel planned to reconvene Wednesday.
The Senate Ways and Means Committee planned to begin three days of meetings Wednesday. The entire Legislature reconvenes April 29.

?: Muguruki's Menu guide
Eating and Drinking
Vegetarian Food
Breakfast can sometimes be nothing more than a chapati and and a cup of tea or can can be a huge plate full of matoke and a sauce.
Mkate - Bread. Most loaves of bread in Uganda are white and are very sweet. In a few supermarkets it is possible to buy salt bread or even brown.
Uji - Porridge. Don't think of a bloke in a kilt or a bloke with a daft hat and a mop of white hair, Ugandan porridge is a thin drinking porridge made from either maize flour or millet, sweetened with sugar or honey.
Katogo- A breakfast dish of Matoke cooked together with either meat offal beans or greens
Kikomando- A dirt cheap veggie breaki option. A bowl full of beans in sauce with added sliced pieces of chapati.
Kabalagala – A mixture of sweet bananas and cassava flour fried in burger shapes
Binyebwa – Groundnuts roasted and ground and baked with tomatoes till it becomes a thick sauce, usually served with matoke or sweet potatoes.
Bijanjalo - Beans
Coawo– Peas/ cow peas
Agiira– Paste made of peas
Lapena– pigeon peas usually cooked together with G nut paste
Malakwang – Greens cooked together with ground sesame seeds to make a thick sauce.
Dek ngor – Split peas ground and also cooked together with ground sesame seeds. A northern dish but my favourite meal from the whole of Uganda.
Moo yang - The butter nut oil that is often smothering dishes like Dek ngor in Acholiland.
Eboo / Egobe / Ikote - Greens cooked in peanut and sismsim sauce
Dodo- Another type of "greens".
Malewa- bamboo shoots, only found in the east of Uganda so treat yourself while you are in Mbale.
FOODS If you ask in a restaurant what food is available you will probably be told the staples on offer as oposed to the sauces to acompany the "foods". Most people will ask for a mixture of foods a plate will arrive with a mixture of Matoke,sweet potato, yam, irish, muogo, posho, and possibly kalo
Matooke- Green banana peeled, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed for hours.
Lumonde - Sweet potato
Irish - Potatoes (spuds U like)
Muogo - Casava. Often you see Muogo being sold on the street deep fried sometimes coated in batter and deep fried.
Kaungu/Posho - Maize meal porridge known as Ugali/Sima/Sadza elsewhere in Africa
Atapa/Kalo - Cassava and millet porridge.
Chapati – Flat bread fried on a griddle, a thicker less dry version of the Indian bread of the same name. Lately I have come across more places that spice up their chapati by adding grated carrot, onion and even ginger, almost a complete meal in itself.
French chapati – a chapati in an egg batter à la French toast.
Muchomo – roasted meat
Ssenene – grasshoppers. Ugandans go mad for these little insects that appear during the rainy season.
Onya -White ants. I've only seen these for sale in markets in West Nile, at first it looks like a big lump of hash as the ants are cooked together with onion formed into a ball then flatenned and dried in the sun to eat at a later date.
Mamba – crocodile Not available everywhere but a few places sell this local delicacy that for cultural reasons seems to be more popular with men.
Morikonyi (variuos spellings) – Cows leg soup.
Kamulalii / pilipili - As well as the usual condiments like salt and sometimes tomato ketchup on a restaurant table there will probably be some kind of chilli. This can be either an off the supermarket shelf chilli sauce, chilli powder, a home made sauce of ground chillies in oil or my favourite is what looks like a jar of honey on the table but is in fact a really hot chilli oil. A teaspoon full of this helps the matoke go down. In some up-country restaurants I've come across whole branches of a chilli plant sticking out of the thatched roof for customers to help themselves.
Eshabwe - Ugandan Mayonaise made from ghee and salted water then whisked till it turns white.
Rolex - Omelette rolled in a chapatti together with a salad of cabbage and peppers. Sold all over Uganda and at all times of day. This is possibly the Ugandan national dish.
Gonja - Roasted banana
Chaps - Similar to a burger covered in batter and fried. Not to be mistaken with chips.
Egg roll - Boiled egg rolled in mashed potato dipped in batter and fried.
Njugu, Amaido, Fuul - various local words for roasted pea nuts or G nuts as they are called in the local African English. Its not uncommon for a hwaker to sell boiled peanuts in their shells as you are sitting outside a bar supping a cold Nile. this is my preferd way of eating peanuts, I can't resist them.
Maji/Maiai - Eggs. Any time of day you can find some young lad hawking boiled eggs
Simsim - Roasted seasame seeds served in packets or rolls of paper sometimes sold together with roasted G nuts.
Bhajia - deep fried spiced besan/gram flour squeezed from aplastic bag into hot to make a crispy worm-like snack.
Tea - Best drink of the day. More often than not tea is made by boiling a slices of ginger in water before Majani tea leaves are added.
Coffee/kawa – Surprisingly its not so easy to get a decent cup of coffee in a country that grows so much of it.
Juice - passion batunda is the juice of choice.
Bongo – Natural yoghurt, Vanilla flavoured yoghurt is also available usually in packets.Add to your Trip Planner
everywhere sells beer: Drinking!!!!! %c
Beer beer we want more beer.
Everybody's cheering
get the f***ing beer in.
Ugandans love a beer and unlike their near neighbours in Kenya they like it cold. After a hot sticky day walking around Kampala what could be more refreshing than a cold bottle of "Nile Special".
There are 2 main bottled beer brewers in UG. Nile breweries who are based in Jinja and Uganda breweries who do their stuff in Port Bell.
Nile produce Nile Special, Chairman ESB, Club and Eagle. It is possible to take a tour of the Nile breweries plant just over the river from Jinja, something I have yet to do but its pencilled for my next trip there.
Uganda Breweries produce Bell, Senator, Pilsner and Guinness.
Favorite Dish: Since I origianly wrote this tip several other brands have apeared on the market. Check out what Nile have to offer here.

Various: What about food in Uganda
Uganda is predominantely agriciltural country and the food is good, to me it's much better than in Kenya. There are number of restaurants, all around, offering different kind of food for different prices, some are cheap, some average and some very expensive. Besides restaurants there is junk food too, not exactly Mcd kind but sort of domestic version.
The cheapest food can be found in so-called road restaurants, offering chapats (look alike to tortilla), which cost approximately 0,20 euros a piece. The next are, to mine opinion, kind of junk food restaurants, offering sausages and grilled meat. In such a restaurants average lunch cost from less than one up to 2 or 3 euros.
There are standard domestic restaurants with very good food where average lunch costs about 5 euros. Finaly, there are very expensive restaurants offering Italian, French, Indian or other cuisine, where average lunch costs from 15 up to 50 euros.
Favorite Dish: What to eat when in Ugandan restaurants. Cannot say much about because I ordered those dishes I could recognize food. To me the best was grilled chicken with chips and white coloured vegetables in a shape of sticks. I liked it better than chips. Lamb meat isn't that soft as we used on it in Europe. Sausages are pretty good but again not as good as am used on it. There are various kind of soups but I didn't dare to eat them.
Ugandans like to eat something what might be considerate as fast food:
- matooke is baked green banana, very popular food among the locals
- sumbusa is kind of pie with meat or vegetable, most oftenly with rise
- chapat looks alike to tortilla but smaller, also filled with other stuff
- mandazi is kind of donuts, local eat it for the breakfast.Add to your Trip Planner
What about restaurants in Uganda
Might be very helpful if you get to know whites who already spend some time here, or even better, if they live in Uganda. Their advices regarding habbits, restaurants, clubs etc., could save your time and money. I was lucky to met Dutch guy who live in Kampala several years and got from him some good tips and advices.
According to him, Carnivors is one of the most expensive restaurants in Uganda but it is too much touristy and offers less than one can get in some other restaurants for more affordable price. I followed his advice and never visited Carnivors.
He invited me to "Le Chateau", Belgian restaurant which is situated in the Gaba Road. There is nice terrace and the atmosphere looks alike to most of a good European restaurants. My friend speaks good French so I let him to order food for both of us. It was delicious steak made in brown coloured sauce, best food I had in my two weeks stay. He ordered bottle of red French wine, which was very good. The dinner cost us 35.000 shilling for each, which is less than the usual price I used to pay in Mammamia or Rock Garden.
Favorite Dish: In two week time I was in a couple of other restaurants, most frequently at those in Nile Avenue, right where Speke hotel is. Khyber Pass offers authentic Indian cuisine but I didn't like it much, besides, it is pretty much expensive. Rock Garden makes very good grilled tilapia, which was my favourite food, and the service is excellent. Finaly, there is Mammamia too, which is supposed to be the Italian restaurant. Cannot complain much but it is far of being Italian cuisine, except for "spaghetti, aglio, olio e peperoncino", which was good. Other food I had there was "Italian" made in Ugandan way. When I ordered calamari (squids), couldn't finish it and almost the same goes for grilled tilapia. Once I tried pizza too, but it wasn't pizza.
Was in couple of local restaurants but unfortunately didn't catch the names, except for Bancafe which I visited regularly. Bancafe offers inexpensive but the best breakfast in Kampala. Many guest from nearby Grand Imperial prefer to have breakfast here, rather than in the hotel. Besides, it is the only place in Kampala, along with Speke hotel, where you can get espresso. In other local restaurants I had grilled chicken or sausages and it wasn't bad at all. The best grilled chicken I had in a night bar at Ntinda, on the outskirts of Kampala.Add to your Trip Planner

Fang Fang's: The perfect end...
We visited here on the last night of our trip and after spending a week in hostels or camping, it was strange to eat in such an upmarket restaurant.
Situated in the centre of Kampala, this restaurant takes you away from Uganda and transports you straight to Asia!
I could explain how great the food was, how amazing the service or how I felt like a millionaire going there but instead I just will mention the one thing that made our last meal in Uganda complete.
After asking if we were celebrating anything on arrival, we said it was our last night. At the end of the meal an intricutely and perfect carved whole melon, filled with fresh fruit and baring the message 'sorry to see you go' arrived on our table with a musical ensamble from the waiters. It was amazing and we never got a photo of it. They ended our holiday perfectlyAdd to your Trip Planner
The Half London: Unforgettable!
It's located right next to Al's Bar and is really the perfect place to start an evening. Don't expect any fast service -we arrived at around 7:30pm and left at 10:30 after having two courses and many Nile specials!
The restuarant serves a variety of food including the infamous 'Game meat of the day' that one of my friends had - to this day we have no idea if it was alligator, buffalo or something else! The same happened for the soup of the day - when we asked what it was the waiter replied 'whatever the chef decides.'
Honestly the food is nothing special, the service was lousy, but the atmosphere just feels "Ugandan" and was somehow very entertaining to eat there. It will always be a talking point whenever I meet up with my friends to reminisce about the trip.
Favorite Dish: Game meat of the day Or Pork Surprise!Add to your Trip Planner
Rock Garden cafe: Active cooking
Rock Garden cafe is open every night offering you a la Carte menu, but on thursday night takes place "The great Mengolian night".
In this night you can choose the meat, vegetables, rice... give it to the cook, and he'll cook it in front of you in just some minutes. And you can order as much and as many times as you want.
I strongly recommend to check my tip about this place in nightlife tips... for not having "surprises" while having dinner here....Add to your Trip Planner
Krua Thai: Relaxing dinner
This is one of the most "exclusive" restaurants in Kampala.
It's a Thai restaurant, where you are offered a great variety of Thai dishes.

Fang Fang: Chinese food in Kampala
If you're hungry and don't want to spend too much money but have a dinner of quality this is your place.
It's a chinese restaurant located dowtown in Kampala, in the business area.
You can have dinner open-air and enjoy the nice temperatures that Kampala has, or inside in one of several saloon that they have.
There are more than 100 hundred dishes, you can go as many night as you want, and don't feel bored of having always the same for dinner.
