The windows along Manhattan's most famous Midtown shopping district have a charitable bent this year. In Dallas, where Neiman Marcus is based, the future is now. And Seattle-based Nordstrom is giving an early present to one of its own employees, using his new Christmas book as the inspiration for its displays.
Merchandise might not vary much by region: A cozy cashmere sweater here is a cozy cashmere sweater there. But when it comes to how stores present the look of the holiday season, themes vary by location. Peer into the windows:

Good cheer isn't good enough this year. Many of Manhattan's destination stores — and destination windows — are carrying the message of "greater good." Barneys New York has a green theme, with a Rudolph the Recycling Reindeer mascot; Bloomingdale's invited children to help in its window designs; and Gucci's windows, against a backdrop of handbags and shoes, touts a fundraising effort for UNICEF.

Saks Fifth Avenue embraces diversity with its "Snowpeople" campaign, seen in displays throughout the country and in its online and paper catalogs. There's also a complementary fundraising partnership for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
"Snowpeople" started as a children's book, written by Rick and Ryan Zeeb and illustrated by Trish Burgio, about snow people who begin to wonder why they all look alike. They decide it's boring to be surrounded by friends and family with the same carrot noses and coal mouths, so they head to New York to find their own personal styles. The windows tell the same tale, narrated by Marlo Thomas.
"It was a huge challenge taking something two dimensional and making it three dimensional," says window director Tim Wisgerhof. The other challenge, he says with a laugh, was using the same rainbow palette of the book but avoiding any sort of yellow snow — for obvious reasons.
At Barneys, "give good green" is the motto as shoppers are greeted by an oversized reindeer made of aluminum soda cans and beer-bottle caps.
"Our motto is 'Taste, Luxury, and Humor,'" says CEO Howard Socol in a statement. "We thought it was time to add a little charm and levity to this important issue."
Nostalgia also gets a nod in New York. Lord & Taylor's windows emphasize the simple pleasures of Christmas, while Macy's takes a more traditional route with "Santa's Big Night."
At Bergdorf Goodman, the windows celebrate the elements — earth, air, fire, water and light — while also giving a nod to Tony Duquette, the late style influencer probably most famous for his over-the-top decorating style that was a perfect match for his Hollywood clients.
"We always have to have a theme to connect these things, but it's not always a traditional Christmas theme. We'd never do a Victorian Christmas, but they're unmistakably holiday windows," says senior director of window merchandising David Hoey.
There might not be snow in Dallas, but there is a lot of sparkle and shine, especially in Neiman Marcus's downtown windows featuring sequined dresses reflecting off a mirrored background.
CITY GUIDE: Dallas the birthplace of Neiman Marcus
"The windows themselves are very reflective — lots of play with light, lots of sparkle, lots of glitter," says Ignaz Gorischek, vice president of store development for Neiman Marcus.
From the downtown sidewalks, shoppers catch glimpses of the window displays through large circular cutouts in the dark window covering. Inside it's all about icy shimmer — from the mannequins' stark white hair to their glittering dresses to the light playing of the revolving mirrored balls overhead.
"The whole experience is supposed to be this fanciful look into another world, if you will," Gorischek says.
Neiman Marcus is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year with a look into its future, and its holiday decorations reflect that theme.
The store's holiday tree is similarly futuristic. A 16-foot "tree" made up of chrome-plated circles rotates as a "family" of three robotic arms rearrange the black bulbs with yellow polka dots that decorate that tree and three smaller "trees" of chrome flanking it.
But since shoppers also flock to malls here, NorthPark Center and Galleria Dallas were decked out for the holidays as well. The Galleria's tradition of putting a giant Christmas tree — 95-feet tall with lights that "dance" to music — in the middle of its skating rink continues, as does the puppet theater featuring Scrooge at NorthPark.
The halls of Seattle's Pacific Place shopping center are decked with Nutcracker sculptures, poinsettia plants and posters promising daily snow flurries in the atrium. But across the avenue, Nordstrom's flagship downtown store based its seasonal window displays, store decorations, gift cards and holiday shopping bags on a children's book penned for this purpose by Randy Schliep, an employee.
CITY GUIDE: More gift ideas in Seattle
"Once Upon a Holiday" tells the tale of Sophie, a young girl who whispers her Christmas Eve wish to the moon. An unfortunate incident involving a cow in a rainbow-striped scarf brings the moon crashing down into Sophie's backyard and threatens to derail Christmas, but a cadre of forest creatures help her get everything back on track.
Nordstrom transplanted the book's bare, gnarled trees and wide-eyed critters in Lisa Evans' illustrations into window scenes featuring posh white, cream, silver and gold party dresses on cool white mannequins. Flocks of birds like carved gourds, adorned with colorful jewels, perch on trees, peck around mounds of fluffy white snow and carry strings of oversized baubles through the air. The moon (still in the sky) looks over the snowy tableaux, lit gently with matte white bulbs buried in snow-dusted evergreen boughs.
When the decorating is done, the phrase "Once upon a holiday, gifts were given" will caption the displays in all the retailer's 101 stores across the country.
About 60 employees volunteered to work into the wee hours of Thanksgiving Day to decorate windows and hang more birds and branches throughout the store. For the design team that worked for months to translate the book into festive decor, "This is like their Super Bowl," said spokeswoman Kendall Bingham.

USCIS Issues Guidance on Filing an Amended H-1B Petition Due to a Change in Worksite and Offers Safe Harbor Filing Window
While not quite as critical as keeping track of your children at curfew, consider this your Public Service Announcement on the importance of tracking the whereabouts of your sponsored foreign national employees. At times, Human Resources professionals are the last to know of material changes to employees' job responsibilities and even location of employment, but H-1B visa sponsorship is employer, job and location specific, and failure to keep track of your employees may jeopardize their immigration status and your employer obligations under the H-1B sponsorship rules.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently issued a policy memorandum confirming when an employer is required to notify USCIS and the Department of Labor of an H-1B employee's relocation to one or more new worksites. This guidance is issued in response to a precedent decision published on April 9, 2015 by the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO), In Matter of Simeio Solutions, LLC, 26 I&N Dec. 542 (AAO 2015). In short, the guidance simply confirms USCIS's existing policy and the long-standing, historical approach of filing an amended H-1B petition supported by a new Labor Condition Application (LCA) when an H-1B worker's new worksite is outside the "area of intended employment" specified in the original H-1B petition. In recent years, however, some employers have chosen to rely upon a liberal interpretation of the regulations and previous agency policy pronouncements and merely obtain a certified LCA to post at the new worksite without filing an amended H-1B petition. For those employers, this case and the corresponding USCIS memorandum comes as a firm reminder that prior USCIS guidance can no longer be loosely interpreted to avoid the filing of an amended H-1B petition.
The USCIS memorandum provides guidance for employers who need to come into compliance with the Simeio decision and also confirms that all H-1B employers must file an amended H-1B petition supported by a new LCA before an H-1B worker begins providing services at a new worksite. USCIS also provides to employers a safe harbor allowing wayward employers to bring themselves into compliance by January 15, 2016. A summary and timetable is as follows:
For more information regarding amended H-1B filing requirements and/or exemptions for certain workers placed on short term assignments or engaged in work that is "peripatetic in nature," please contact Jenifer M. Brown, Lindsay Ramsey, or another member of Ice Miller's Immigration practice.

I've been on and off on accutane. I was supposed to be 6 months course of accutane (40mg), but stop at 4 months due to side effect, or maybe because I'm not consistent with my birth control pill. After stopping for 3 months, I began taking accutane(40) again for 3 months due to acne. However, for the last course, I only took about twice or once a week. I'm scared running out. So when I finished the 40mg accutane, my acne came back. Now, I'm taking the 10mg/week just to keep my acne away. help!
What Should I Do if my Acne Come Back After Taking Accutane?
Doctor Answers 1
Accutane courses are set for each person
Accutane requires that you take a consistent course of the medication. The course depends on the type and severity of your acne, the mg dosage, as well as your weight. Skipping pills, not taking your birth control (bad idea if you get pregnant on Accutane!!!), and in general not following the course set out for you, will NOT result in good, clear skin. At this point, you need to see your physician for an evaluation and new plan as to the dosage and time you need to be on the medication. Follow it! It's the only way it's going to work!!!

What might be considered as a perfect investment for some people might not be on the radar for someone else. A bank account full of money will not necessarily increase the value of your long term portfolio, especially if the value of cash money takes a dive. You don't have to be an expert in accounting practices to understand the value of gold coins and purchasing a few of those coin box sets.
Whether we realize it or not, understanding economics will benefit us all and that is because financial matters make the world turn. Although we can use some of the equity in our residence, when it comes to bonds we may fall short of our expectations. There was a time when our savings would have been good enough, but that time has long since past.
One of the first things we learn about money matters is the need to put aside for a rainy day, unfortunately recent historical events has shown that when it comes to finance there is no guarantee that the value of cash will hold its own. It has long since been suggested that if we purchase shares in a reputable company when the value of their stocks go up, so too will our portfolio.
The thing with share prices is that they can change direction at the drop of a hat, leaving many holders holding huge losses. Information from the stock market is always susceptible to change and if you don't make changes quickly enough, you could end up losing huge chunks of money. No matter how good those stock quotes are initially, they never seem to hold the same long term value as gold coins.
During the holiday period, Christmas gifts are on the minds of a huge section of our society. The Christmas season is a time to show others that we care about them and in so doing we try to find a gift that matches their wants. Smart shoppers include new york times collectables
to their gift list and by so doing they show anyone on that list that they are important to them.
When it comes to gift ideas it is not just about Christmas, there are other occasions where the gift of gold is an excellent idea, like birthday's, anniversaries and graduations. We place a lot of thought into our Christmas decorations, the least we can do is find the best gifts for those we care about.

Posted 09/26/2013 at 11:03 AM
Posted 4 years ago
Keeping in touch with family is easy over the internet; there is Skype, email, Facebook, Twitter, and a whole host of other social media and instant messaging services that allow us to stay in contact with loved ones. However, while all of these services are great for adults, there is not a lot going for them when it comes to keeping children entertained. A new app called Ustyme aims to change that.
Having struggled to keep the attention of her 2-year-old grandson on video calls even with puppet shows and story books, first-time grandmother Linda Salesky came up with Ustyme, a app that brings video calling together with gaming, social networking and e-reading.
Developed for second and third-generation iPads, Ustyme allows users to play games such as Checkers; Go Fish; 4 in a Row; and Paper, Rock, Scissors; or read classic children's books like Old MacDonald and The Three Little Pigs to anyone on the other end of the line.
"As a grandmother, I have a vision and a passion for bringing families together," Salesky told the Marin Independent Journal. "I believe time spent with families is invaluable. Technology can pull you apart when everyone is engaged in separate devices, or it can bring you together."
And this was something she realized firsthand after trying to keep grandson Avery entertained during long distance video calls.
"What I realized with a grandson who lives over 600 miles away was that I wasn't going to be able to share the same experiences that I shared with my daughter that were really important to me like reading books and playing games together," she said.
With the app, Salesky says she wants to create an experience that her grandson will look forward to. Ustyme includes its very own content store where books and games can be purchased from $0.99 upwards, and content purchased by either party in a call can be used by both.
The app is not quite the finished article yet, but with $2 million in funding from angel investors, the future looks bright for video calling families and, particularly, kids.

AUBURN, Ala. -- When Gus Malzahn returned to the Plains in December 2012, he assembled a top-15 recruiting class in less than two months. It was a class that was impressive given Auburn's record the year before, but it also featured a number of impact players who contributed to the Tigers' BCS title run this past season.
"That's the way we recruit," Malzahn said recently. "Nowadays you're going to recruit guys you think can come in and make an impact right off the bat."
It's no surprise that Auburn's 2014 class, which signed last week, was also full of instant-impact type players. The emphasis might have been on the defensive side, but there are plenty of playmakers who could help the offense early on.
Laplace, La./Miss. Gulf Coast CC
Synopsis: There's not a player in the class with higher expectations than Williams. He comes in as the No. 1 junior college player in the country. At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, he looks SEC ready, and he plays a position that should get him on the field early. Sammie Coates enjoyed a breakout year for Auburn this past season, but Coates is better suited as a deep threat. Williams, on the other hand, can be more of a possession wide receiver, and if all goes well, he could be the one who emerges as the go-to guy for Nick Marshall. It doesn't hurt that he enrolled in January and will participate in spring practice. The expectations are high, but Williams is the type of player who could thrive in the right offense and with the right team.
Malzahn's take: "He's the No. 1 rated junior college player in the country. He's got unbelievable skills. I got a chance to get to know him back in his high school days and really think he'll have a chance to be an impact player right off the bat."
Oxford (Ala.) High School
Synopsis: There were rumblings that Alabama passed on Thomas as a part of its effort to land top recruit Leonard Fournette. If that's the case, the Crimson Tide might be kicking themselves for years to come. Thomas was easily one of the top players in the state, and the No. 5 running back nationally. He comes to Auburn as a perfect fit for Malzahn's offense and as a guy who should get a look this fall. When Tre Mason left early for the NFL, it created an opportunity at running back, and though there might be more experienced candidates ahead of him, Thomas has the talent and ability to move up quickly on the depth chart. He wants to play early, and he'll do everything in his power to make it happen.
Malzahn's take: "He was the top running back on our board. Our offensive staff identified him early. They recruited him extremely hard. He's a kid in this class who was very loyal to us. He could've went anywhere and chose not to. He stayed with us. We really feel like he's got the ability to come in immediately and make a huge impact."
OG Braden Smith
Olathe (Kan.) South High School
Synopsis: Auburn took a hit when starting left tackle Greg Robinson declared early for the NFL draft, but had he not done that, there's a strong possibility Smith would have not been a part of the this class. Malzahn admitted that he and his staff started recruiting ESPN 300 offensive lineman late, but they did just enough to lure him to the Southeast. It won't be easy for Smith to crack the starting rotation with four of the five starters returning for Auburn, but he has the versatility to make an impact somewhere this fall. He's listed as a guard and could become the top backup at both guard spots, but he can also move over and play tackle, which automatically makes him a candidate to replace Robinson at left tackle.
Malzahn's take: "I think he gives us some flexibility -- at tackle, or he can move to guard. He can really run, and he's stronger than your average freshman coming in. He's very serious. The way you all see him on TV, that's the way he is. He doesn't say a whole lot. He's football. He's working out. He's our type of guy."

About The Core
The Core on Earthen Ring (EU)
Guild Statement & Rules
We are a mature guild of players that have been playing together in the Horde for quite a few years on and off on Earthen Ring EU. This is a new guild in WoW, but certainly not a "new" guild. The Core as a gaming guild have around for well over 5 years, with the same "Core" unit of players and new friends made along the way. This longevity means that we are an extremely close-knit bunch of guys; but we are always open to making new friends. Our long term members tend to stick together whenever we move to new MMO's or new ventures.
We are an adult guild made up of players aged 21+ who like to play and above all else have fun. We aim to do end-game content in WoW, and plenty of serious raiding but NOT hardcore, or raiding without guildies enjoying it. Raiding evenings will be TUESDAY & SUNDAY. Unlike Hardcore Raiding, Guildies won't ever be kicked for raiding mistakes, gear won't be hoarded in the Guild Bank, and people won't be penalised for missing events due to RL. However, Guildies will be expected to attend Guild Events as often as feasibly possible, life permitting. Guildies will also ALWAYS be expected to communicate with the Guild; whether it's in the forums, Teamspeak, or email. If RL takes over, all we ask is that you let someone know. We are, above all else, socially ACTIVE but not purely a "social" guild. Social Guilds tend to fold in the end due to inactivity, and as such we aim to be doing the most fun current end-game content; whether it's raiding or anything else that becomes popular.
Mael is the GM but the Title is more symbolic than anything else, more often than not. We always make sure that we have a surplus of Officers so that the Guild is not allowed to stagnate; as other guilds are occasionally prone to do. We use Teamspeak 3 for our comms, and most often without any politically correct filters.
Recruiting takes place frequently, and is advertised in the Official WoW Forums, and also in-game. Applicants will be expected to fill out the application here, at the forums, before being invited in-game. Applications aren't dealt with in secret, like other guilds. All Guildies will be able to see applications and give their thoughts, but final decisions will be made by the Officers (Ooooh, so serious, NOT). People will mainly be expected to jump on TS and introduce themselves, as we're not looking for silent people. Certain exceptions to the whole process can sometimes be made, for RL friends, family, etc etc.
Guild Rules (boring but necessary):
- The integrity of the Guild is sacred. If you are deemed to be bringing the name of The Guild into disrepute, chances are you will be booted.
- Guild is everything. You look after us, we look after you. We've been around a long, long time and it makes us all quite close. Obviously if you are newer, it takes time to bed in and get to know everyone. The rewards though, come in time. You'll always have a group you can come back to, play with, have a laugh with, and often a ready made group of mates going into other games.
- We are here to have FUN! If you ruin fun for others, you will be shot!
- Forum usage is MANDATORY. Just being in-game is not considered enough. You are expected to check the forums here on an almost daily basis. Lots of us have busy lives, so posting things in here is easier than logging in-game just to try & catch people. Raid and Event details will be posted in HERE primarily.These will contain information NOT available in-game. If you're going to be away for a while, due to RL, we consider it polite & vital that you post in here to let us know. If you DO NOT USE THE FORUMS regularly, you may be removed from The Guild.
- In WoW, Raiding isn't hardcore for us, but each Guild Raid is considered a Guild Event. There are 2 calendars, the one here on the forums, and the one in-game. The one HERE is considered REQUIRED viewing. Events might be posted in-game, but they will ALWAYS be on the calendar here. If you want to come to a raid, as a guildy, you will need to sign up here in the forums using the Rapid Raid module.
- Teamspeak usage is considered MANDATORY for raids and events only. The rest of the time, it is highly encouraged but not vital. Sometimes when playing we all feel anti-social and not like talking. That's cool, use Guild Chat in-game instead, but for Guild Events, you must be in TS even if you have to be somewhat muted due to RL things going on around you.
- In Raids, Teamspeak users MUST use Push To Talk, not Voice Activation. Learn it, like it, and love it.
- We have quite a few Officers, and they are here to help when they can. If you abuse Officers you will probably be booted (unless the officers are being dicks).
- All loot will be MasterLoot>MainSpec>OffSpec in raids. Master Loot will always be on, and rolls will be made for loot. We will not actively stockpile loot/gear in the Guild Bank. However, If we get to the point of having done loads of raids and surplus gear going to the Guild Bank; then it can be requested from the officers if it is not in a General Withdrawal Tab.
- It's not a democracy, so don't get confused. While we'll always try and consider everyone's opinions, sometimes there will have to be times when the GM or Officers will just make a decision. They will always have the final call, based on pecking order. Democracies are great, but in RL they just don't work :)
If you've been invited to join us, you only need to be ready to have fun, and become a part of the team :)

July 28, 2016
US President Barack Obama rebuked Donald Trump and hailed Hillary Clinton on the third night of the Democratic National Convention. Meanwhile, Trump expressly asked Russia to hack Clinton's emails. And meet the smartest hero in the Marvel Universe.
DNC Day 3: President Obama made an earnest case for why Clinton is the only candidate qualified to take his place.
He delivered a major rebuke of Trump's apocalyptic view of the nation Wednesday night, and described Clinton as a "patriot" who has "been in the room" during major decisions at the White House.
When Obama began to lay into Trump and the crowd started to boo, the president said, "Don't boo, vote." He said Trump's campaign paints a "pessimistic vision of a country where we turn against each other, and turn away from the rest of the world."
Vice President Joe Biden delivered a passionate address that both skewered Trump and discussed his own long-running relationship with Clinton. Biden called the Republican nominee's claims that he helps the middle class "a bunch of malarkey." (People apparently loved it.)
Here's Obama's full speech. Black Lives Matter activists are in Philadelphia, but they're not pro-Clinton. BuzzFeed's Bim Adewunmi on how Bill Clinton wants to sell you on his wife. Tim Kaine accepted the vice-presidential nomination Wednesday night and Twitter decided he's a dad joke come to life. And Alicia Keys performed at the DNC and rocked it.
In a surprise moment for the crowd after Obama's speech, Clinton walked onto the stage to wild cheers. Via Giphy
And a little extra.
The mother of an Orlando shooting victim made an emotional case for gun control at the DNC. "The weapon that murdered my son fired 30 rounds in one minute. I'm glad common-sense gun policy was in place the day he was born," said Christine Leinonen, whose son died alongside his boyfriend in the Pulse nightclub shooting. "But where was that common sense the day he died? I never want you to ask that question about your child. That is why I support Hillary Clinton."
Trump expressly asked Russia to hack Clinton's emails.
Just after denying he had colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin to leak Democratic National Committee emails, the Republican presidential nominee on Wednesday asked Russia to find "missing" emails belonging to Hillary Clinton.
"Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," he told reporters in Doral, Florida. "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. Let's see if that happens. That will be next."
The DNC, cybersecurity experts, and US officials have said Russian state hackers are most likely behind the leaking of thousands of DNC emails, which were released on the eve of the convention.
When a reporter asked Trump if he had "any qualms about asking a foreign government, Russia, China, anybody, to interfere, to hack into a system of anybody in this country" or if it gave him "pause," he responded, "No, it gives me no pause."
Trump is seeking more foreign guest workers for his companies — he's looking to bring 78 more servers, housekeepers, and cooks for his Mar-a-Lago estate resort and nearby golf course. Trump's comments that he would be "looking into" lifting sanctions against Russia are raising concerns among proponents of those sanctions. And Melania Trump's website has ~vanished~.

Prosecutors have dropped all remaining charges against Baltimore police officers related to the death of Freddie Gray.
"The decision comes after three officers charged in connection with Gray's death — Lieutenant Brian Rice, Officer Edward Nero, and Officer Caesar Goodson Jr. — were acquitted at trial," BuzzFeed News' Mike Hayes reports. No one has been convicted in the case.
Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby said her office decided not to go forward "in light of the dismal likelihood of convictions … We stand by the decision, the legal theories, the charges," she said. "We do not believe that Freddie Gray killed himself."

With the new year comes the ever present resolution to lose weight. Whenever I'm trying to get my weight (and health) under control, I feel like I can't dine out regularly, just too many tasty distractions.
I feel confident I can stick to my plan if we go for sushi or pho, but my husband and I need more options! While I enjoy Good Earth, my husband doesn't. I dined at Spoon River last weekend and for the second time found the food to be quite bland. When I'm getting Chinese takeout for myself I'll order just steamed shrimp and veggies, but don't feel right doing that at a restaurant that has taken time to craft a flavorful dish.
What places do you enjoy for a tasty, yet healthy meal? Any exceptional, light dishes at restaurants you might not think of when you're trying to lose weight?

Technically he was right ... Dr Anthony Farrington was the medical expert who six years ago told a judge that Roy Whiting was not a paedophile. In 1995 Whiting had grabbed a girl off the street in Crawley, driven her away and sexually assaulted her. The case was identical to what was to happen to Sarah Payne five years later in almost every respect bar one: his first victim escaped with her life.
When the case went to court, the comments by the psychiatrist about Whiting not being a paedophile - which was technically correct under the letter of accepted guidelines at the time - were relied upon by his barrister as part of his defence. Whiting received a relatively lenient sentence.
The story, which the Sarah Payne jury was not allowed to be told about for legal reasons, began at 2pm in March 1995 in Ifield, the Crawley suburb where Whiting had his workshop. Three young girls were playing in the street when a red Ford Sierra drove up and a man got out. It was Whiting. He tried to grab all three, ordering them into his car.
Two managed to get away but one, a nineyearold who lived nearby, did not and was bundled into the back of the car. Whiting drove off at speed, taking her on an intricate tour of small country roads. The child tried but failed to open the back door which had been closed with child locks.
Then she begged to be told where she was being taken. Whiting shouted at her to shut up. He said he had a knife, and made her lie down in the footwell of the back seat. He drove to a secluded country lane and stopped the car. He then turned to the girl and told her to undress. When she refused, he pulled some rope from his pocket and said he would tie her up if she did not. In fear, the girl submitted. She was forced to lie back in the car while Whiting molested her.
Until this point everything was remarkably similar to what was to befall Sarah. But after he had abused the girl, he didn't kill her. Instead he told her to get dressed then asked where she lived. She told him and he drove to another street close to hers. He pulled up and opened the car door to let the child out and sped away. By the time the little girl ran home to her parents it was nearly 4pm. Her terrifying experience lasted just under two hours.
The police were called. Local newspapers publicised details of the case, including the girl's description of Whiting and his car. The appeal asked the public for help in identifying the unkempt owner of a red Sierra with a Bart Simpson sticker in its window. Clive Graham, who ran a car repair business near Whiting's workshop at Hyders Farm, Ifield, read the reports and recognised the car.
"I just froze," Mr Graham said. "I said to my mate, 'Listen to this description of a car and tell me who owns it'. I read out the details and the bit about the Bart Simpson sticker. He just said: 'Roy Whiting'. I phoned the police and they seemed a bit bored until I mentioned the sticker. Then the guy on the phone said: 'Don't move', and they were here in minutes."
Whiting was arrested immediately. He had first removed the sticker from his car, then sold it, then made an attempt to change his appearance by cutting and dyeing his grey hair. Initially, he denied everything. But in a second police interview he made a full confession, confirming almost every detail in the little girl's statement.
An apparently contrite Whiting told detectives: "I don't want the girl to have to come to court. I don't want to put her through anything more like that ... It's me. I don't want the girl to be brought in. She don't have to ID me or anything like that." Before he came up for sentencing, he was referred to Dr Farrington, who spent two hours interviewing him before preparing a report. At this point Whiting's cynicism kicked in. He said he had no idea why he had attacked the girl. Something just snapped, he said, it was spontaneous. He managed to conceal the fact that he had a longstanding sexual attraction to children. Furthermore, he seemed keen to undergo counselling to help him change his behaviour.
Whiting's sentencing came on 23 June 1995 at Lewes Crown Court, the court where he would later be tried for murder. He pleaded guilty to kidnap and indecent assault. But he denied one of the worst assaults.
The Crown Prosecution Service, acting with the best intentions - the desire to spare the victim the ordeal of giving evidence - accepted his guilty plea on this basis. But by allowing Whiting to deny the worst episode involved, this "plea bargain" gave his defence a significantly stronger hand.
His lawyer, Philip Marshall, pleaded for mercy. Central to his case was Dr Farrington's view that Whiting "was not a paedophile". Mr Marshall argued therefore that it was unreasonableto sentence him on the basis that he posed a risk of reoffending, a point the judge accepted.
His client had made a full and frank confession, Mr Marshall continued, and he had no previous convictions. Mr Marshall also apparently alluded to something that is often used in the defence of paedophiles - that Whiting had been a victim of abuse himself when he was a boy of 11 (though he did so in such vague terms that it remains unclear exactly what, if anything, happened).
"That incident is perhaps indicative of what has happened now," Mr Marshall said. "He has on a previous occasion been obliged through a need for self-defence in a way to draw down a conscious barrier. He has done that for the last 25 years in respect of that incident, and to that extent, in my submission, the relevance of that ... adds to his current inability to reason through what has happened". Mr Marshall's words do not sound very eloquent or persuasive now. But at the time they were apparently persuasive enough. Judge John Gower QC acknowledged the horror of the crime - "disgraceful" and "disgusting" were the words he used - but also accepted most of the defence's case, saying he was giving Whiting "maximum possible credit" for having pleaded guilty, adding: "We sentence you on the basis ... that this offence was not premeditated." He sentenced him to four years on each offence, to run concurrently. The maximum sentence for indecent assault is 10 years, the maximum for kidnap is life.
Whiting would serve only two years and five months. He was sent to Elmley Prison in Sheerness, Kent. He lied to fellow inmates that he was inside for "clocking" cars. Whiting knew the reception he would get if he was known as a sex offender. The promise he made to attend counselling sessions to change his behaviour was broken. The prison system did nothing to ensure he honoured it.
Despite the popular view "once a paedophile, always a paedophile", many experts believe that treatment programmes can be effective in making at least some offenders recognise the horror of their crimes and prevent them reoffending. But while there are about 5,000 sex offenders in jail at any one time, the Prison Service puts barely 1,000 per year through such programmes. Whiting was released automatically after serving twothirds of his sentence. He was not eligible for parole because he showed no remorse and failed to take part in a treatment programme.
He had carried out virtually the textbook paedophile crime yet officially he was not a paedophile and a judge had accepted he was no longer a risk. By pleading guilty and feigning contrition, he had received a substantially shorter sentence and his jail time had not been unduly hard; Whiting had played the system and, to a degree, had won.
In an exclusive interview with the Evening Standard, Dr Farrington, 55, who had worked as a visiting consultant psychiatrist for the Prison Medical Service for 10 years, said he stood by the conclusion he had drawn in 1995 and felt no guilt.
Dr Farrington said: "I don't want to be vilified but I think that what I said in that report was right, and I do not feel guilty. It was the best I could do with the time and the information I had available to me. I said Whiting was not a paedophile and I came to that conclusion with the help of the current psychiatric definition of paedophilia given in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which was published the year before I interviewed him.
"Essentially it defines a paedophile as someone who consistently shows a sexual interest in children, whenever they get the chance, for at least six months. That means that a single isolated case, which is what this was, is not enough to merit a diagnosis of paedophilia. If you are going to be a psychiatrist you have to be consistent and go by the rules and this is what they say. I do not believe that even if I had said he was a paedophile it would significantly have altered the sentence."
The DSM manual, which with another document produced by the World Health Organisation were the basis for Dr Farrington's conclusions, are internationally recognised and still widely used in this country.
The psychiatrist, who is now an adviser to the NHS ombudsman, is aware that his report has put him in line for intense criticism. But he added: "What people are overlooking is that in the report I also said there was a relatively high risk of Whiting reoffending. I said that I was extremely concerned by the way he had planned the attack - getting a knife and a rope ready in his van - although he said he impulsively snatched the girl.
"It was obvious that he had planned to frighten somebody, with the knife, he had planned to tie somebody down, with the rope, and afterwards he made great efforts to change his appearance. All this made me say that I thought he was likely to reoffend."
He added: "I wasn't impressed by any remorse - more a fear of being in trouble. Now I just have to hang on to the fact that I did tell the court about the high risk of reoffending. Tragically it looks as if I was right. I wish I had been wrong. But at least my report will have helped the police find him after Sarah Payne was abducted. I stand by my report, which was very carefully worded, and do not feel guilty about what I wrote. But I do feel extremely sorry for Sarah Payne's poor parents. They are the ones who are suffering."
Also still suffering is his first victim and her family. The girl, now 15, is understood to be still profoundly traumatised. Her parents are so horrified that they have attended every day of the trial.
Whiting's release from prison came a few months after the introduction of the sexual offenders' register which enables the authorities to monitor sex offenders after their release from prison. It was heralded as the way forward in protecting children. It had been introduced because of fears over the threat posed by people such as Whiting.
Although put on the register for life, Whiting was obliged to see social workers for only a few months after his release. The system has since been changed so that sex offenders can be tied to these meetings for up to 10 years. In theory the police could have kept him under observation after his release but the reality of limited police resources means this was never really a serious option.
The Home Office is actively considering the introduction of an "indeterminate sentence" for child sex offenders which would mean they could be held for as long as they pose a threat - their case would be reviewed every two years.
The scandal of the Roy Whiting case isn't that the system lost track of him. In fact, police knew exactly where he was when they wanted to arrest him. The gnawing problem is that despite the killer having been identified as a risk and despite the police being well aware of him, it was still possible for him to kidnap and murder Sarah Payne.

Dr. Hawkins is an Excellent Physician
I have seen many doctors over the years. Some of them good and some of them not so good. Dr. Hawkins is, by far, the best doctor that I have seen. He takes the time to investigate the entire situation without rushing to an obvious or easy diagnosis so that he can move on to the next patient. Because he values the need for confidentiality, Dr. Hawkins protects privacy and makes it easy to discuss any concerns or issues. He offers no judgment and naturally eases you. He is a tremendous doctor, yet humble and caring.

I absolutely love Dr. Hawkins. I have even kept him as our family doctor, although I have moved out of Gulf Breeze and a million miles away to Cantonment! He's that much of a keeper. If someone in my family's sick, his staff is very quick in fitting us in. And work-ins are the ONLY time we ever have to wait longer than 10 minutes there, but that's normal and expected anywhere you go. For pre-scheduled appointments, his nurses are very prompt in getting us back and getting the process started. I started taking my teenager there when his pediatrician retired, and he absolutely loves him. He also caught a very serious diagnosis for me very, very quickly, and he and his nurse called repeatedly until they got me. They were not going to let it go until they got me and scheduled for me to come back in and see what the deal was. Very thorough in his exams, always asks about how life in general is going, very concerned about every aspect of his patients' well being. Will not change physicians for any reason!

Nice for storage, but quality is questionable
I bought this for my bedroom, but it is too small to sit at the foot of a king size bed. (Wish I would have read all the reviews). I ended up putting it in a spare bedroom with a queen bed, and its size is perfect. Nice storage for a small size (can fit two king size pillows). I don't think this would work well for a big person to sit on, or or daily use as a seat. Foam is thin and the material seems a little on the cheap side. I would not recommend this for a master bedroom but I would for a smaller spare room. I think it would make a good storage box, toy box, etc.Read More
I love this bench! It is a great deal and looks much more expensive than it is, like something from West Elm or Design Within Reach. The lid closes slowly with plenty of storage room, fabric is lovely and the print is also nice. In fact, I just ordered a second, as it modernized my living room. The first is being used as a bench and the second will be used as a storage ottoman for a wide chair. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!!Read More

Not impressed.
I've loved most of the furniture items I've purchased from Overstock, but this just didn't hold up. The cushion on top was sagging in days. I ended up adding additional foam to the top and recovering the whole thing. It's now in an out of the way corner of our home.Read More

Good product for the price
This is a great product for the price. I bought it for my entry way to provide some extra storage and a place to put on my shoes when going for a walk. I'm not sure how much weight it would hold, but I would not use it for regular seating. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is because the lid does not close tightly every time. I am hoping that over time, the hinge will loosen up and it will stay tightly closed. There was no odor to the product as some of the other reviewers commented on, so I am glad that I went ahead and bought it despite their concerns.Read More

Nice storage bench
The bench is nice for the price, and it is adaquate for what I am using it for which is just storage. I plan to recover it in a better fabric. I don't think it would stand up to a lot of heavy use as the lid seems to be made up of a wood frame with just thick foam attached to it and there is no support in the center. I think I will probably add a piece of plywood to it before I recover it.Read More

text: Alcatel-Lucent unveils Compact LTE Metro Cell family26 Feb 2015 05:51 PM Compact Metro Cell Outdoor aims to optimise coverage and capacity and meet customer data demands, in a design that's half the size and 43% more power efficient compared with existing metro cellsAlcatel-Lucent has announced it is to give operators greater flexibility to build so-called 'heterogeneous' networks – highly efficient, multi-platform mobile ultra-broadband access systems – by adding the new Compact Metro Cell Outdoor family to its portfolio of small cells devices.The Compact Metro Cell Outdoor – currently being trialled with a number of operators around the globe - is 50% smaller than existing metro cells. This provides more options for the discrete creation of HetNets to improve coverage and capacity, including integrating the device into street furniture, such as the digital advertising signage in bus shelters being developed byJC Decaux as part of a technology partnership with Alcatel-Lucent.The Compact Metro Cell Outdoor (CMCO) family integrates the latest embedded baseband innovations, an LTE radio, higher power output and modular design options, including external antennas. It supports a greater number of active users and offers even more deployment flexibility.Their compact size also allows them to be wall-mounted and hidden from view, with just the antenna visible, and optimally placed to offer customers the highest service quality.Operators can connect CMCO devices via backhaul into their wider network. In addition, the ability to bypass the embedded baseband unit (BBU) means they will also be able to connect via a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) to a centralized BBU, managing multiple radios. This will allow them to smoothly evolve networks and leverage the efficiencies offered by a virtualized RAN architecture.Mike Schabel, Vice President of Small Cells in Alcatel-Lucent, said: "By extending our small cell product family to include the Compact Metro Cell Outdoor, we are offering a solution that meets the needs of any operator in any location. "The goal of this product was to enable operators to seamlessly and simply integrate the product inside of existing street furniture and simplify municipality zoning approvals."Our existing Metro Cells continues to help them with pole-mounting and wall-mounting applications, while we are expanding their deployment options with the Compact Metro Cell Outdoor."The 9764 Compact Metro Cell Outdoor Family – technical detailsSmall form factor (approximately 6K cubic centimeters for a 2x2W).Support for LTE mobile ultra-broadband connectivity, with Wi-Fi as an option.Increased capacity, supporting up to 200 users.Later versions using system-on-a-chip (SoC) technology will support 60 MHz within one box, as well as the ability to daisy chain to aggregate multiple small cell sectors.Radio-on-chip (RoC) technology, which enables 43% greater power efficiency compared to small cells solutions without this technology. This is an important consideration for network operators.In the recent IntelliSpektrum project, under which Bell Labs, the industrial research arm of Alcatel-Lucent, collaborated with the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics, the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institute and Intel Mobile Communications GmbH, it found that mobile networks which use a mix of macro and small cell radio base stations can see energy savings of up to 50%.Coverage and capacity support for different scenarios, made possible by various output power:2x1W for dense urban locations (to complement the existing Metro Cell family)2x2W for optimal coverage and capacity2x 5W for the highest coverage.Use of a variety of external antennas (directional or omni directional). This allows for a number of mounting options, including the ability to discreetly integrate within street furniture or behind walls. The ability to allow operators to smoothly evolve towards a vRAN architecture, leveraging a centralised BBU.AvailabilityThe Compact Metro Cell Outdoor family is commercially available now within the 1800 MHz frequency, B7 operating band and 2600 MHz frequency, B3 operating band, with a full complement of frequencies for FDD and TDD available throughout 2015.

You purchased your 280SL because its performance and European styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. Mercedes-Benz automobile drivers have become used to a certain level of a reputation for strength when driving their 280SL around town. Auto enthusiasts know that luxury is built into each Mercedes-Benz, and know that only the best replacement 280SL parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
Without the timed ignition systems in our internal combustion engines, our engines would have to be all electric. One long-lasting component in your Mercedes-Benz 280SL engine that cannot fight the rust or pitting that results from its operation is your distributor rotor. As your camshaft turns the distributor, your Mercedes-Benz 280SL distributor rotor is turned in synch. It has a contact on its tip, so when the coil charges the distributor rotor current is sent through a post under the cap to the spark plug wire on top of the cap.
Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Mercedes-Benz 280SL part for your needs. Don't let a Distributor Rotor repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the best replacement parts. Need 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Distributor Rotor parts? We've got them right here.

Our Pretties
To my mind I'm a very strange and funny person, some people call me a mystery girl. My eyes are always different, their color depends of the mood of my soul, sometimes they are brown when I'm anger or rage, often swampy color, when I'm indifferent and harsh, rarely, very rarely they are green ,when I'm happy. I believe in miracles and I wait for them every day and every minute. I think that the life we go through, no matter who we are or what we have is meaningless without being shared with someone who is kindred in spirit. I like to laugh, to walk, to travel, to have fun, to learn something new for me and I'm very upset when I waste my time.
As for my interests I am interested in everything, I am a very curious person. I play the piano, like to crochet, to draw and to embroider with beads very much and do different crazy things which often depends on my mood. I like reading, especially psychological books. Like to keep watching over different people and to communicate with them, I like to spend my time with those who are very close to me, with those whom I cherish, and it is a pity that we have short of time and the life is short for us to catch all we want.
Need partner: 22 - 52 years old
As for a man I want to see near by me, he used to be a patient and understanding man because I am not an ordinary person. I want to be with someone who I will be happy with and not just living my life wasting it on pointless things or relations. Someone who will care of me and let me care of him, who will try not just agree with me but understand and support. Someone I can talk hours or be silent, to be silly or be serious, walk or just stay at home, no matter what we do or where we are I should be happy with him because I trust him and confide to him my life, who will be my light in darkness.

In a year when many New Orleans Saints players failed to back up promises that they'd win Super Bowl rings or produce at All-Pro levels, receiver Kenny Stills was a member of the team who put a personal goal of his on the record in the preseason and ultimately fulfilled it.
Accomplishing that goal — "don't have a sophomore slump" — didn't prevent the Saints (6-9) from playoff elimination with their regular-season finale at Tampa Bay (2-13) on Sunday pending. Avoiding a sophomore slump also didn't seem to impress him too much when he spoke about the matter after a recent practice.
"I was never a person who ... got satisfaction from completing their goals even if they set them," said Stills, who's already caught considerably more passes for significantly more yards this season than he did as a rookie last year. "I still have a lot of work to do. I could've had a better year."
Nonetheless, achieving what Stills did the year after the Saints selected him in the fifth round of the 2013 draft was easier said than done. And it is in the small handful of positives to draw from a season that saw New Orleans miss the playoffs for only the third time while being coached by Sean Payton, who arrived in 2006.
The odds were not in Stills' favor that he'd be able to surpass the 641 yards he registered on his 32 receptions last season. The Saints, for one, used a first-round draft choice in May on Brandin Cooks, who at the time was only months removed from winning the Biletnikoff Award given to the best receiver in college football and naturally was expected to take targets away from Stills.
On top of that, during a private workout in June, Stills sustained a quad injury that caused him to miss much of training camp as well as the first game of the season. He spent the Saints' first 10 games under tight end Jimmy Graham, Cooks and veteran Marques Colston in the team's pecking order, averaging 3.1 catches a game, or only one total reception more than what reserve running back Travaris Cadet had.
However, late in the 10th game of the season, Cooks broke his hand returning a punt in a defeat at home to Cincinnati, and he was soon sent to year-ending injured reserve.
Arguably no one responded to that development as strongly as Stills did. He hauled in a career-high eight passes in the game immediately following Cooks' injury, a loss at home to Baltimore.
Six days after that, in a win at Pittsburgh, he set a career-high with 162 receiving yards. He delivered his third touchdown reception of the campaign, his eighth in the NFL, a 69-yarder that as of Thursday was the longest play from scrimmage this season.
The Saints were foiled in their efforts to win their division for the first time since 2011 and make the playoffs a second consecutive year after going 1-2 over the next three games. But at the end of that stretch, Stills was second on the Saints in both receiving yards and catches, and he had 23 more grabs and 208 more receiving yards than he had as an NFL newbie.
He had averaged 2.3 more catches per game in the five contests after Cooks was hurt and the Saints needed players to step up. Three of those grabs went for two third-down conversions as well as a fourth-down one to provide some of the few highlights in a losing effort at home to the Falcons on Dec. 21.
And so Stills had buried the possibility of a sophomore slump, which was what he described as his own individual main focus at a charity softball game in May.
In the larger picture, all of that might serve little comfort to a young player who wrapped up a brief conversation about his performance in 2014 by saying, "Obviously, if we don't make the playoffs, what I'm doing isn't good enough."
Yet there can be little doubt that Stills is capable of factoring into whatever plans the Saints have to try to become contenders again.
"He picks things up very quickly, and so he can play multiple (receiver) positions," Payton said of Stills on Thursday. "As we get into next year, there are a lot of different places we can put him."
Saints quarterback Drew Brees added, "He has all kinds of talent. I like the role that he has taken on ... especially in the absence of Brandin Cooks (lately). ... He's shown he can handle that mentally."
If more players had done similarly, the tale of the 2014 Saints may have finished differently.
Saints tackle Zach Strief on Thursday, answering if his team crumbled this year under preseason hype that it had unprecedented talent on the roster and would likely win the Super Bowl: "I'll tell you this, we won't have to deal with it next year. We won't have any questions about, 'Did you read the press clippings in the offseason going into next season?' And that'll probably be a more comfortable situation."
Injury report
Zach Strief (neck), and Jamarca Sanford (hamstring) were limited on Thursday, while Pierre Thomas (ribs), Terron Armstead (neck), John Jenkins (abdomen) and Akiem Hicks (ankle) were listed as out.
