Prep Files with junior Eric Scott, a midfield commit to the Yale admissions process from Ridge (N.J.)
Position: Midfield
High School: Ridge (N.J.)
Class: 2013
Club Team: Leading Edge
Summer '11: Jake Reed's Blue Chip, Maverik Showtime, NSCLA, Rutgers MVP
Stats/Honors: 33 goals & 30 assists this past spring, two-time Maverik Showtime All-Star, NSCLA All-American
Height/Weight: 5'11, 180 lbs.
Other Sports: Basketball
Other Schools Considered: Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Penn, Princeton,
How did the commitment process go for you?
The process was a great experience for me. I was able to visit a lot of schools and figure out which one was right for me. Coach [Ryan] Polley was able to watch me play freshman year in the state championship, and that was the starting point for the recruitment process with Yale.
What were the reasons behind your verbal commitment? How was your visit?
I was able to talk with a former Ridge teammate, Alex Otero, who is a sophomore on the team at Yale. He had only great things to say about going to college in New Haven, and after watching a game last year as well as my visit this year, I agreed with everything he had to say. Yale offers a great academic opportunity that's hard to resist. Also, Coach [Andy] Shay, Coach [Graham] Niemi and Coach Polley were all awesome. After talking to them and going to a practice, it seemed impossible to turn down this opportunity.
How would you describe your style of lacrosse and what do you believe your strengths are?
I'm at my best in 6-on-6 offense. My stick stills are one of my better strengths, it makes playing a lot easier when you can dodge either way and be effective. I try to use my dodging to draw a slide and look for the open man. But, I need to work on my strength and my speed. If I do, I feel like it would help my game a lot.
What are your goals before you finish your H.S. career? What aspects of your game would you like to work on throughout your college career?
My main goals would be to win a county championship and the New Jersey Tournament of Champions. We were able to win the state championship during my freshman year, and I'd love to win counties and the NJ TOC before graduating. Like I said, getting stronger and faster would help me a lot, and on top of that, I'm sure Coach Shay will have things I can work on when I get to Yale.

NAPA Funny Car Experience debuts at Portland Roadster Show
The NAPA Funny Car Experience and simulator debuts at the March 14-16 Portland Roadster Show in Oregon as the first of 170 appearances scheduled in the Western United States.
The Funny Car is a retired NAPA AUTO PARTS racecar driven by Ron Capps that has been modified to provide a cockpit experience like no other for fans to get a Capps-eye view of what it's like to sit in the driver's seat while doing a burnout and then making a run down the dragstrip at over 300 mph.
Once inside, fans will put the throttle pedal to the metal that with software provided by Dobbs Technologies activates the video/audio system in which the windshield is covered by a 32-inch flat-screen, HD screen that shows NHRA-licensed video captured by a mini HD camera mounted on the nose piece of eyeglass frames worn by Capps during an NHRA qualifying run . Fans hold an actual Funny Car steering wheel and brake handle as they prepare to initiate the run sequence. The run begins with communications from the crew to the cockpit and the engine is fired. The body is lowered and the burnout begins. Following final system checks on the starting line Capps stages, takes the green light and blasts through clutch dust and the blur of 312 mph before opening the chutes and exchanging communications with his crew. The 4D sound system provides stunning realism and simulates the rumbling of 10,000 horsepower.
Here's footage of an actual in car experience when Capps' engine exploded at the 2014 Circle K Winternationals

Bought a security safe 15 years ago from Walmart. It was excellent. Last year it was damaged in a house fire. The contents were undamaged and we were very grateful. Called SS for help opening the safe; not only did I get the info I wanted, I discovered that the safe had a lifetime replacement warranty. SentrySafe stood behind their reputation and sent a replacement. Since then, I've purchased 3 more safes. Love the products!

On May 25, 2013 in Oklahoma City an EF5 tornado struck my neighborhood. The vortex of the storm passed through my back yard. As you can see by the picture my home was destroyed. We have 5 Sentry safes. We located all 5. All were dirty and dinged, but otherwise in great condition. These safes survived an F5 tornado and will continue to be used in my household when I rebuild.

I was the victim of a burglary. I want to thank you at Sentry for building such a good safe.
I was the victim of a burglary. The perps with a sledge hammer beat the crap out of the front of my gun safe breaking off the key pad along with the handle that opens the safe. Then they beat the front to the point the key would not even go in. They then beat the crap out of the hinges also with no luck. They beat this safe up so bad I had to hire a safe company to get it open so I could check the condition of my guns. I immediately went and bought a brand new gun safe just like the old one. I want to thank you at Sentry for building such a good safe that protected my guns. It was the best $500 dollars I ever spent. Thank you again.

The best thing about 20 years of ownership so far has been the customer service @ SentrySafe.
Luckily enough we have not had occasion to really test the integrity of our Sentry safe but I would like to mention that the best thing about my husband's 20 years of ownership so far has definitely been the customer sevice @ SentrySafe. My husband sort of misplaced the combination years ago so we figured we'd just have to write it off and get the safe drilled open. Not so! The process of getting the combination from Sentry was well detailed on line so we submitted the requested document and in less than 2 hours my request was being handled efficiently and professionally by your friendly staff. Thanks again.

Marisa Coats Named NJCAA National Player of the WeekPosted by Roy under Athletics
Seward County sophomore catcher Marisa Coats has been named the NJCAA National Player of the Week after a week in which she hit .667 including five home runs and 12 RBI's. On March 15, in a double-header against El Paso CC the sophomore went a combined 5-for-8 with three runs, one double, two home runs and seven RBI's. It was in the second game that Coats hit not one, but two home runs. On March 19, the sophomore bounced back against Glendale CC by going 3-for-3 with two runs, one home run and one RBI. In the third game of the day in a 6-3 loss to Eastern Arizona, she went 2-for-3 with two runs, three RBI's, one stolen base and had another multi-homer game by rocking two out of the park. Her batting average for the week was .667 (12-18), and she had a total of seven runs, one double, five home runs, 12 RBI's, two walks and one stolen base. Coats will take her hot bat to North Platte and Colby this weekend as the Lady Saints look to knock of the Knights Friday and the Lady Trojans on Saturday.

Whoa, I now must say thats changed the game slightly! Clever move by BT, I was going to cancel my BT account today and move to talk talk to save a tenner a month, seems I wont bother now.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
Thats a great deal ,pretty surprised, my only concern is BT customer service is pretty horrific
They were always going to play to their strengths and use the Broadband part for the Leverage that way they don't have to compete directly with Sky and can take the competition from smaller Broadband providers and target people that either have none or are due to switch
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
I hope come Aug 1st that they have a deal in place for Virgin Media customers.

Low dose estrogen improves bone health with fewer side effects in older women
A low dose of estrogen was as effective in reducing bone turnover -- with fewer side effects -- as higher doses when given to a group of healthy women 65 years and older, according to a study published in the December issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism . This is the first controlled clinical trial to directly compare the effects of different doses of estrogen on bone turnover in older women.
Bone turnover refers to the bone remodeling cycle in which new bone is formed as older bone is dissolved (resorption). Osteoporosis develops when more bone is dissolved than is formed, weakening the bones and making them prone to fracture. The risk for developing osteoporosis increases with age.
The decrease in bone turnover among the women who took 0.25 mg of estradiol, a form of estrogen, was quite similar to the decrease among the women who took 1.0 mg of estradiol, according to lead author Karen Prestwood, M.D., of the University of Connecticut (UCONN). The 1.0 mg estrogen dose that women conventionally are prescribed as part of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) to treat symptoms of menopause, reduce bone turnover, and treat osteoporosis, sometimes results in side effects such as breast tenderness, fluid retention, headaches, and bloating. The group taking 0.25 mg estradiol had no more side effects than the placebo group, according to the study, conducted at UCONN's Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center.
A group of 107 white, African American, and Hispanic women over 65 were recruited over an 18-month period, beginning in July 1997. At the beginning of the study, African American women were found to have the highest bone mineral density while Hispanic women had the highest bone turnover and were most at risk for osteoporosis, according to the authors who will write a second report on the ethnic differences.
Each of the three racial or ethnic groups was represented in the four dose groups: a placebo group, those taking the conventional dose of 1.0 mg 17-beta estradiol, a group taking 0.5 mg estradiol, and a group taking 0.25 mg estradiol. The women, whose mean age was 75, received 1300 mg of elemental calcium with 1000 IUs of vitamin D per day throughout the three-month study. Researchers have no ties to Bristol-Myers-Squibb, which provided the estradiol and placebos, or to Mission Pharmaceuticals, which provided the calcium citrate and vitamin D.
The women tracked their estimated dietary calcium intake with food diaries and their physical activity by the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly every 12 weeks. Side effects were recorded at each visit by a questionnaire. Women kept track of vaginal bleeding with diaries and endometrial thickness was measured to the closest 1mm by transvaginal ultrasound. Bone mineral density of the hip, lumbar spine and total body was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA scan) at the first visit.
Researchers examined biochemical bone markers that detect bone turnover at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks on treatment and 6 and 12 weeks off treatment. All markers of bone resorption significantly decreased at 12 weeks on treatment compared to the placebo and returned towards baseline 12 weeks after treatment, regardless of race or ethnicity. Bone turnover in response to 0.25 mg estradiol was similar to that seen with 1.0 mg estradiol.
"Dr. Prestwood's findings advance the UCONN Pepper Center's mission of studying interventions that improve bone strength and reduce fractures," said Stanley L. Slater, M.D., Deputy Associate Director for Geriatrics at the National Institute on Aging (NIA), which supported the research. "Longer term studies are needed to determine whether the effects on bone turnover seen with 0.25 mg estradiol will translate into increases in bone density and decreases in fractures."
Such studies are needed to help the more than 10 million Americans who have osteoporosis, a disease that thins and weakens bones with the most common fractures occurring to the spine, wrist and hip. Some 18 million more have lost enough bone to make them more likely to develop osteoporosis. More than 80 percent of these 28 million people are women. Osteoporosis is costly both in dollars and in human suffering. Hip fractures alone amount to $10 to $14 billion in health care expenditures each year.
The study was conducted by Prestwood and Anne M. Kenny, M.D., assistant professors of medicine at UCONN Health Center's Center on Aging, Christine Unson, Ph.D., research associate at the Center on Aging, and Martin Kulldorff, Ph.D., in the UCONN Health Center's Department of Community Medicine. One of 10 such research centers funded by the NIA, the UCONN Pepper Center conducts research on muscle and bone problems, especially osteoporosis.
The NIA, which leads the federal effort supporting basic, clinical, epidemiological and social research on aging and the special needs of older people, recently updated its Age Page, Osteoporosis: The Bone Thief , with practical information on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis for the general public. For a free copy, contact the NIA Information Center at 1-800-222-2225. For other information, visit NIA's website at http://www.nia.nih.gov/.

Muriel Siebert, Trailblazer for Women's Rights in the Workplace, Dies at 80
By Barbara Murphy-Warrington, CEO, Girl Scouts of Greater New York
This weekend we lost a true trailblazer, the remarkable Muriel Siebert. When Ms. Siebert wanted something, she didn't take "no" for an answer. As a result, she broke barriers and paved the way for women to hold finance jobs on Wall Street. A principled leader, Ms. Siebert wasn't happy with incremental results. Throughout her life she continued to fight for women's rights in the workplace.
Muriel Siebert was the embodiment of the courage, confidence, and character we instill in Girl Scouts, and she was recognized by our Council as a great leader at our 2006 Tribute Dinner. Some of our Girl Scouts had the privilege of meeting her at a BNY Mellon event earlier this year, and they were truly inspired by her story that each individual can be the change they want to see in the world. I encourage you to read this piece about her.
We are deeply grateful for having had the opportunity to know Ms. Siebert.

Feds, banks brace as Anonymous vows giant hack today
(NEWSER) – Hackers have spent weeks warning of a giant attack on US government agencies and banks—and today is the day, they say. "Anonymous will make sure that this May 7th will be a day to remember," said the hacker group in a post, per the Huffington Post. The attacks are retaliation for US "war crimes" in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, the group noted. The government is preparing, but it doesn't seem hugely scared, expecting "limited disruptions" and "nuisance-level attacks against publicly accessible webpages."

California Cops Arrest, Harass Man for Videotaping Them on the Job
Jason Mick
November 26, 2012 4:01 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Message sent is that citizens should not be able to monitor the public actions of officials they employ
"If you don't give me your ID, then you're going to jail."
That's what a California cop, Officer Gabriel "Gabe" Lira, tells a man who is videotaping a routine traffic stop. For Daniel J. Saulmon who lives in Hawethorne, a suburb of Los Angeles west of Compton, he was simply doing his citizens duty. After all, his taxes help fund the Hawethorne Police Department, so why shouldn't he be allowed to
record video of police in public
on the job, in order to ensure that they do not abuse their citizen-entrusted power?
I. Show Some ID, Bud
Unfortunately, the Hawethorne Police Department's police officers didn't feel they owed the taxpayer anything.
Instead they arrest him (as the tape clearly shows) for failing to produce ID. The only problem? There is no law in California banning recording of on-duty cops and there is no law that requires Californians to produce papers to cops. And in states where there
such laws, the requirement is that the individual be suspected of committing a crime.
Initially the HPD tried to charge the citizen with
resisting, delaying and obstructing an officer
-- an offense punishable for up to $1,000 USD in fines and a year in jail. They also cited him for
not having reflectors
on his bike pedals (punishable with a fine of up to $250 USD).
Ultimately both charges were dropped. Mr. Saulmon's video, ironically, offered vindication by showing the officer improperly demanded his identification. It also showed he was standing a good distance away from the investigation site, and hence was not obstructing.
The extra irony is that the HPD officers should definitely have known better than to pick on Mr. Saulmon. Keenly aware of his rights, he regularly records local arrests. In 2005 he was arrested in a similar situation for eavesdropping/wiretapping. The charges were eventually dropped, and the HPD paid him a settlement of $25,000 USD for the wrongful arrest.
Mr. Saulmon is likely to pursue a similar settlement from the department this time around.
He tells the blog
Photography is not a crime
, "They knew exactly who I was. They always address me as 'Mr. Saulmon'."
II. Justice for Some, But Not All
While the incident ended in vindication for the accused, other similar encounters across the country
ended with little reprieve
for the arrested videotaper. That's because some jurisidictions have banned citizens from recording local cops. The fight to overturn these verdicts may have been given a helping hand by the U.S. Attorney General, who
penned a fiery response
arguing that such arrests were unconstitutional. U.S. Circuit Appeals courts
have ruled
such taping to be well within a citizen's rights.
Some police organizations are still fighting to push back the current federal mandate and instead making taping cops a federal crime.
Jim Pasco, executive director of the
Fraternal Order of Police
, argues that officers should not have to be held accountable and should be free to arrest citizens who try to monitor their activity for wrongdoing.

He comments, "They [police officers] need to move quickly, in split seconds, without giving a lot of thought to what the adverse consequences for them might be. We feel that anything that's going to have a chilling effect on an officer moving — an apprehension that he's being videotaped and may be made to look bad — could cost him or some citizen their life or some serious bodily harm."
Mark Donahue, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, agrees. He has stated in previous comments that his organization "absolutely supports" throwing those who tape police officers behind bars.
He complains that citizens monitoring police activities for wrongdoing might "affect how an officer does his job on the street."

Dog slobber and fur dander can be pretty gross in real life, but I never would have guessed that in slow motion they're actually pretty beautiful.
The video above, titled "Shake," was posted to Vimeo last week by New York City production company Variable. It's a companion to a book, also called "Shake," from co-director Carli Davidson.
Davidson also did a similarly amazing photo series on shaking dogs.
The video is bizarrely hypnotic, with dogs great and small (and dreadlocked!) reveling in their corporeality. And it comes with this sage viewing advice: "Shake off all the worries on your mind and smile! The dogs featured in 'Shake' are simply here to offer you a couple minutes of wonder and laughter."
If only we could all be dogs, flinging our drool without a care in the world.

Did you know?
Benni McCarthy, who scored 32 goals for South Africa, provided vocals for the TKZee single Shibobo,which sold 100 000 copies in its first month.
South Africa hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup, becoming the first African country to stage the event. Despite some concerns over South Africa's ability to host the tournament, it was incredibly successful and South Africa was commended for its role as a host nation.
The national team, affectionately known as Bafana Bafana (the Boys), hasn't always produced the greatest results but draws a large following because of its aesthetically pleasing style of play.
Apart from the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations, Bafana Bafana have not won a major tournament. Although the team failed to make it to the second round of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, a 1-1 draw with Mexico and a 2-1 win against France in the group stages were highly commendable performances.
There are several domestic competitions in South Africa, the most prominent of which is the Premier Soccer League, or PSL, which was founded in 1996.
At domestic level, South Africa's biggest soccer rivalry lies between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, who both hail from Soweto. Matches between these two sides are known as the 'Soweto Derby', and almost always draw capacity crowds.
Kaizer Chiefs supporters greet each other with a traditional 'peace' signal (index and middle fingers raised, back of hand facing backwards), while Orlando Pirates fans clench their fists and cross their arms to resemble a skull a crossbones.
Some retired South African footballers have become top businessmen and are now club owners, such as Kaizer Motaung (Kaizer Chiefs) and Jomo Sono (Jomo Cosmos).
South African soccer fans are known around the world for their love of noise and celebration. Creative attire and instruments such as the vuvuzela (a plastic horn) are commonplace on match day.

Tel: +27 (0)11 567 2010
Best time to visit

I am not at all the maternal type. I'm too selfish, too distant, too "suck it up and move on"-like to be called a nurturing pillar of motherhood.
And yet I have three children.
Like many of you, I grew up watching Donna Reed, Harriet Nelson and June Cleaver (in reruns, mind you) as they set the example for future generations what a woman's role was in the home.

Anterior vaginal wall repair is surgery that tightens the front (anterior) wall of the vagina.
A/P repair; Vaginal wall repair; Anterior and/or posterior vaginal wall repair; Colporrhaphy - repair of vaginal wall; Cystocele repair
This procedure may be done while you are under general or spinal anesthesia. Under general anesthesia, you will be asleep and unable to feel pain. With spinal anesthesia, you will be awake, but you will be numb from the waist down and you will not feel pain.
You will be given medicines to help you relax.
In most cases, a surgical cut is made through the front wall of your vagina.
Sometimes, your doctor will also make a surgical cut in your belly. This cut may be up and down or across.
This procedure is used to repair sinking of the vaginal wall (prolapse) or bulging that occurs when the bladder or urethra sink into the vagina.
Symptoms of prolapse include:
This surgery by itself does not treat stress incontinence (leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or lift). It may be performed along with other surgeries.
Before doing this surgery, your health care provider may have you learn pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegel exercises), use estrogen cream in your vagina, or try a device called a pessary in your vagina to hold up the prolapse.
Risks for this surgery are:
Always tell your health care provider or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the days before the surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You may have a catheter to drain urine for 1 or 2 days after surgery.
You will be on a liquid diet right after surgery. When your normal bowel function returns, you can return to your regular diet.
This surgery will very often repair the prolapse and the symptoms will go away. This improvement will often last for years.

When and where the animal was last seen, or when/where you found it.
He is very friendly. Walking between two houses. Very loving. Bradley pointe off hwy 17 in the Villages of Vallambrosia
Showed up at a friends house on this cold wet morning! He doesn't appear to have a home and is super friendly. He was too scared to come inside so I set him up in our shed.
Anyone interested in helping this poor guy out? I know what will happened if animal control gets him and I am unable to keep him. I'm giving him shelter from the cold but I defiantly can't keep him. Seems to be doing good. I am worried he has the mange or something as he has several bald raw spots on him!
He is located in Bradley pointe off hwy 17 in the Villages of Vallambrosia.
Please contact Brandi Dixon or Shauna Wells if you are in anyway possible to help this guy out.

A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Physiology & Behavior suggests that chewing gum can keep you more alert. Although the precise mechanism by which gum enhances alertness is unclear, the results showed that vigilance, mood, heart rate and EEG improved significantly over those who didn't chew gum. For instance, chewing participants completed a vigilance task more efficiently with shortened reaction time than non-chewers. Additionally, chewing gum increased heart rate and beta brain activity. In total, chewing seemed to boost several of the major indicators of alertness.

Top business leaders to discuss clean energy and jobs
The leaders of GE and Duke Energy and the state director of the Nature Conservancy will discuss the future of clean energy in South Carolina at a forum Oct. 22 at the University of South Carolina.
Panel members are James E. Rogers, chairman, CEO and president of Duke Energy; Jeffrey R. Immelt, chairman and CEO of General Electric; Mark Robertson, executive director of the Nature Conservancy of South Carolina; and Dr. Harris Pastides, president of the University of South Carolina.
The forum, which will include a question-and-answer session with the audience, is at 3 p.m. in Amoco Hall in the Swearingen Engineering Center, 301 S. Main St., on the USC campus. A reception will follow in the lobby in front of Amoco Hall.
The panel will be moderated by Charles Bierbauer, dean of the College of Mass Communications and Information Studies at USC. The discussion is open to the public. To attend, RSVP to email@example.com.
Duke Energy will have its Tesla Roadster Sport, the electric car that goes from zero to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, and a plug-in electric Toyota Prius hybrid on display outside the Swearingen building. The URS hydrogen truck, which has a hydrogen internal combustion engine that uses hydrogen gas instead of gasoline, will also be on display.
Parking is available in the Horizon garage at South Main and Wheat streets.
For more information, contact Amanda Wilson at (803) 777-4091. About the panel
James E. Rogers is chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of Duke Energy. Rogers has more than 21 years of experience as a chief executive officer in the electric-utility industry. He was named president and chief executive officer of Duke Energy following the merger of Duke Energy and Cinergy in April 2006. Before the merger, Rogers served as Cinergy's chairman and chief executive officer for more than 11 years. Prior to the formation of Cinergy, he joined PSI Energy in 1988 as the company's chairman, president and chief executive officer. Duke Energy, one of the largest power companies in the United States, supplies and delivers electricity to approximately 4 million customers in the Carolinas and the Midwest. The company, headquartered in Charlotte, also distributes natural gas in Ohio and Kentucky. Its commercial power and international businesses operate diverse power generation assets in North America and Latin America, including a growing renewable energy portfolio.
Jeffrey Immelt is the ninth chairman of GE, a post he has held since Sept. 7, 2001. Immelt has held several global leadership positions since coming to GE in 1982, including roles in GE's plastics, appliance and medical businesses. In 1989, he became an officer of GE and joined the GE Capital Board in 1997. In 2000, Immelt was appointed president and chief executive officer. Immelt has been named one of the "World's Best CEOs" three times by Barron's, and since he began serving as chief executive officer, GE has been named "America's Most Admired Company" in a poll conducted by Fortune magazine and one of "The World's Most Respected Companies" in polls by Barron's and the Financial Times. Immelt is also a member of The Business Council and is on the board of the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Mark L. Robertson has served as executive director of the Nature Conservancy of South Carolina since 1999. He directs a multi-disciplinary staff in five locations around the state. Since 1969, the Conservancy has helped to protect more than 333,000 acres in South Carolina, from the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean beaches. In addition to land protection, the South Carolina chapter implements conservation actions in prescribed fire, aquatic and marine ecology, land management and has led statewide efforts to create new financial incentives and funding sources in state government for conservation. Robertson has worked for the Nature Conservancy since 1985, working previously at the Virginia Coast Reserve and the Florida Keys office.
Dr. Harris Pastides became president of the University of South Carolina in 2008 after a decade of service as a USC professor, dean and vice president. Under Pastides' leadership as vice president for research and health sciences, research funding and sponsored programs at South Carolina increased 89 percent since 2002. Pastides continues to take a leading role in the development of Innovista, the university's research innovation district. As president, Pastides has launched Focus Carolina, the most comprehensive strategic planning initiative in the university's history. Among the major goals Pastides has identified for the university's long-term future: sustainability; innovation; the university's role in the development of a knowledge economy; more access to education for South Carolinians; and stronger cohesion among the university's eight campuses.

Christian Dior Spring 2014
Raf Simons set his Dior show in a jungle—beneath a hanging garden of thousands of lianas and orchids and wisteria that created an extraordinarily beautiful, layered setting that seemed something of a metaphor for a collection that was jungle-dense with a mash-up of ideas.
Now that Raf has, in a remarkably short space of time, made the classic Dior icons very much his own, he seems to be struggling (at times perhaps a little too hard) to inject them with a sense of his other engagements (contemporary art and mid-century design culture to name two) as he morphs his minimalist sensibility to a House with a maximalist legacy. As the designer's program notes explained, with this collection he wanted to explore the idea of "twisting, turning, and pushing Dior," so that "a beautiful rose garden becomes poisonous."
In this subversive spirit, he spliced those floral prints, punk-style, with cryptic word art. In the same mood, the show opened with the classic hourglass Dior jacket—now deconstructed to wrap around the torso—its traditional mid-century pleated skirts reduced to the tropical flower print, sunray-pleated, chiffon flounces ruffling from beneath the hem of trim little fitted shorts. More successful were the pleats used on the bias for a slithery little black dress or for asymmetrical skirts with a surprising cut-out reveal on one hip. There was more bodily revelation when Raf gave a pinstripe cotton shirtdress the cold shoulder treatment, for instance, anchoring its bodice at the collar but cutting away those shoulders and back for a sense of sly modern allure. Filmy knits and translucent organzas in Raf's quirky color palette (vivid orange with soft mauve; grass green with blush pink) revealed the body beneath, whilst an overlay of black car-wash panels flashed the vivid print of the underdresses as the girls moved. Accessories were strong—asymmetrical, dense clusters of dripping jewels that tumbled from neck and wrists like those exotic vines hanging above, and shoes with ovoid cut-outs in contrast colors that suggested the ergonomic design of a Formula 1 racer's helmet.
For the finale, Raf's cabine marched back into the jungle paradise wearing an entirely new collection. Less fanciful and more pragmatic than the complicated pieces that preceded them, this palette cleanser focused on the classic Dior icon shapes whose influence has touched so many international runways this season—the evening dress with the little bodice and the blossoming ballet-length skirt; the narrow, pencil-skirted sheath dress, and the sleek-leg pantsuits with the curvy jackets—that mixed solid black with silvery brocades woven with different flowers. The looks were often flourished with an armorial, shield-shaped emblem comprised of glittering jewels that picked up Christian Dior's iconic houndstooth check; a new badge of pride for fashion's futurists.

A BUS driver from Taunton is getting behind the wheel of a fundraising campaign to help a children's cancer charity which is looking after her granddaughter.
Diane Petty was chosen as charity of the month and given £750 from a sponsorship committee at First Bus to help towards her target of £5,000 to CLIC Sargent.
The charity have been caring for her granddaughter Kelsey Petty, two, who has been diagnosed with cancer three times so far in her short life.
Diane has worked at First Bus's Taunton depot for ten years, and said: "CLIC Sargent has supported me and my family, so I wanted to give something back."
Diane's daughter and Kelsey's mum, Miranda Petty took on a skydive from 15,000ft and organised a waxing event and family fun evening to raise funds for CLIC Sargent and a sensory room in the children's unit at Musgrove Park Hospital.
Alex Carter, of First South-West, said: "We are extremely impressed with Diane's determination in helping a charity which has helped her and her family overcome a particularly difficult time in their life.
"First Bus is always happy to help its employees who are supporting charities and causes which have made a difference to their lives and we hope that the company's contribution will go a long way."

HBO's 'Silicon Valley' Episode 2: Let's Make a Deal
On Sunday's episode of "Silicon Valley," our protagonist, Richard Hendrix, a loveable but bumbling tech entrepreneur who has Mark Zuckerberg's hair from 2004, is on the cusp of raising his first investment. The only problem is – well, everything.
He bombs a meeting with his would-be backer, the powerful venture capitalist Peter Gregory. He then has 48 hours to put together a business plan, for which he needs Wikipedia. Then, he agonizes over whether to fire his best friend, Big Head, to appease Gregory's demand to cut costs.
It makes for pretty entertaining television, if mid-stakes venture-capital drama is your thing. Unfortunately it's not exactly accurate.
Here's the breakdown, along with commentary from some investors who've done their share of early-stage deals:
1. The demands. In an awkward exchange early in the episode, Gregory, the show's Peter Thiel-lite, dresses down Hendrix for being hopelessly unprepared. Hendrix, befuddled, says he thought he was just picking up a check. Gregory snaps and orders Hendrix to "come back in 48 hours with an airtight business plan, a clear go-to-market strategy and a three-year summary P&L, or there will be no check!"
Are these common demands for an early stage deal?
Josh Elman, partner at Greylock Partners: NO. "For a seed deal that is highly uncommon. For any early-stage deal, an 'airtight' business plan is never expected, but by series A/B, someone should be able to make some assumptions and forecasts about their business. Investors at that stage probably look more deeply at this to understand how the team thinks and processes ambiguity vs. actually relying on the actual numbers and plans produced."
Chi-Hua Chien, general partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers: NO. "Definitely not. Never seen it happen. For seed it's usually a PowerPoint and nothing else. We work together on the financial plan (very rough estimates)."
Don Dodge, developer advocate at Google, angel investor: NO. "At seed stage it is expected that the founder has thought about several possible GTM [go-to-market] strategies but probably hasn't settled on one. Business plans with three- year P&L (profit and loss) summaries are very uncommon, and always wrong. More common is a 12- to 20-slide pitch deck that covers the opportunity, team, market, competition, near-term milestones, and how much capital they need to get there. All at a pretty high level, with very few details. It is pretty easy to tell in the first discussion if the founder understands the challenges and possible solutions."
2. The clueless entrepreneur. In the episode, Hendrix is so lost, he has to look up what a "business plan" is on Wikipedia. Later, when he has the check in hand, he realizes at the bank that he still has to incorporate his startup. In a world of dozens of tech blogs and online how-to guides, are many entrepreneurs this clueless?
Elman: NO. "Most founders are incorporating pretty early now. The number of information sources has helped, and a number of attorneys have worked to make this process easy instead of complex and expensive."
Chien: NO. "Most companies are incorporated or we send them to a lawyer who will waive the fees before the financing, standard courtesy in Silicon Valley."
Dodge: NO. "That scene is a hat tip (comedic slap) to something similar that happened…years ago. I can't imagine that happening today. Even companies that are moving to the USA from another country know they need to be incorporated in the USA before they can raise money and open a bank account."
3. The tough call. One of Hendrix's new employees warns him that he will have to cut a friend from the team because the person doesn't have any real skills and the VC is demanding a lean capitalization table, or list of the company's shareholders. Is this kind of pressure common?
Elman: NOT REALLY. "I think it is a common question to ask about the team members and their expected contributions in order to help the founders make sure that everyone is in a seat [where] they can add value to the company. I don't think the reason for any team changes would or should ever be a VC demanding a lean cap table."
Chien: RARELY. "Very rare for seed. Sometimes an issue at Series A but a VC usually just passes if we don't like the team. A founder's choice of co-founders offers insight into his judgment and leadership skills."
Dodge: SORT OF. "This is fairly common, though not as dramatic as the show portrayed. It is usually not the VC who is demanding a lean cap table for founders. It is the other founders. [The early stages are all] fun and games until investors come in, cap tables are set up, and founder shares are decided. This is where it gets serious and some people decide they aren't all in, or others don't get the job titles, salary, and options they had expected. It usually works out fine. Most people understand when they are honest with themselves what role they can play going forward."

Mary Ellen Long
To Mary Ellen Long, the forest outside her Colorado home is her library, a place to gain knowledge of the world and catch up with the latest news. She presents the results of her research to the world through symbolic volumes made from natural materials and by careful documentation of her reverent woodland installations.
"I find strength and message in these natural objects and sites in this mountain environment. My sculptural interventions using the indigenous and handmade paper create forms that speak of the slow process of nature - of growth, of decay and rebirth on the land, and of our interconnectedness to this integrity."
Long's earth books contain stories written in the language of stones, moss, earth, and leaves as well as the unpredictable scribblings and blots of decay generated when she buries these "books" under winter snows. She also creates site-specific environments and meditation spaces in the wild using pine cones, plants and stones cleared from trails. Using the same papery mulch used in her book projects, Long may ring the occasional stand of tree trunks with fiber pulp to temporarily highlight "their form and spirit".
Part stewardship, part research and part self-publishing, Mary Ellen Long's work contibutes to an important cultural shift, building a new vocabulary of form which reveals and renews our kinship with the natural world.
