Sarah Jessica Parker impressed us with her Lovely musky foray into fragrance as we didn't really expect a celebrity perfume to be of any considerable substance. But this was a serious perfume lover we were talking about (click here for her signature perfume mix and here, for an interview with Chandler Burr)and she passed the test with flying colours.
Now comes Covet, her new scent for women and the commercial was conceived by genius director Jean-Paul Goude, responsible for the Chanel Egoiste commercial that made it to the advertising Hall of Fame.
Set to Verdi's Forza del Destino with adorably playful french by smokey-eyed mrs. Parker as she talks to monsieur le gendarme and with red-soled Louboutin shoes that peek unmistakably under her Lacroix couture dress as she kicks to the count of the orchestra on the window of the posh boutique, this is a Paris-shot commercial that imprints itself on our mind with its strange atavistic motto "I had to have it!". Because it is so much coveted, you see.
The Grand Prize winner will receive $10.000 and a trip for two to NYC to attend Lucky Magazine's Lucky Shops 2007, but also a Covet gift bag encompassing a jewelry box and a deluxe mini. One First Prize winner will win a flat panel TV costing $1.200 and the Covet gift bag with the items described above. Last but not least 30 second prize winners will be receiving the Covet gift bag.
Additionally, the first person to solve one of ten weekly challenges will receive a green apple iPod Shuffle along with the Covet gift bag and the challenges will renew themselves each week. Finally two lucky winners will receive an apple iPhone and a Covet gift bag for the Bonus Challenges.
Sounds impressive! In any case good luck, those games can be addictive! I could spend hours being all monsieur Hercules Poirot on that site.
On the other hand if you want to laugh a bit with the ingenious uses of the bottle, please visit this link on Smelly Blog.

Over the past 3 seasons Ben Zobrist has been really good. He's posted 17.9 WAR, averaging a 5.9 WAR per season. He's not only versitile, being able to play a handful positions but also plays above average defense at each position. Oh yeah, he can hit too.
In 2009 Zobrist posted a HUGE breakout year, posting a 8.6 WAR, .246 ISO, .408 wOBA, 39.3 wRAA and a 151 wRC+. All of those numbers are way above league average. Zobrist was also walking at a 15.2% rate and only striking out 17.4% of the time. His .326 BABIP was slightly high but he is posting a .318 BABIP this year so going forward a BABIP in the upper .315 seems sustainable. Zobrist was getting paid the league minimum in 2009 but his production gave the Rays $38.8 million dollars worth of value which is nothing short of incredible.
In 2010 Zobrist got hit with a low BABIP of .276 and a 10.8 IFFB%. He still had a 3.7 WAR but his ISO fell to .115 and his wOBA all the way to .323. His wRC+ also took a hit, only being 102 overall. His wRAA was 1.1, also disappointing. A few bright spots were his 14% BB% and his 16.3 K% so he still had a keen eye at the plate. He still gave the Rays $15 million dollars worth of value last year.
This year though is closer to his true playing level. He has a 5.6 WAR, a .213 ISO, .376 wOBA, 23.4 wRAA and a 141 wRC+. His .318 BABIP is a little lower then his 2009 BABIP but like I mentioned earlier it seems sustainable. Zobrist is creating runs just like he was in '09 so it looks like last year was a fluke. So far he's generated $25.3 million dollars worth of value for the club. B the time the season's over he could push a 7 WAR.
One thing that makes Zobrist so good though is his defense. UZR really likes him at second base, 19.7 career UZR and right field, 24.7 UZR. Some of the innings aren't a huge number so it may be a small sample size but he's still a really good defender.
Based on what I've shown you I'm scratching my head as to why Zobrist isn't considered a star. He can play good defense and produces on offense. Eventually though, he will get his dues.

Scruddle is a pre-revenue startup based in Fort Worth, Texas. It was founded in 2012 by Mark Doyle, who designed and developed virtually all of the website and underlying product. In 2013, Matt Gutierrez, Adrienne Hisbrook, and Noel Melendez were brought on to design and develop the iOS and Android mobile apps, and to improve the user interface and experience.
Scruddle is a single platform - mobile app and website - for managing your digital information. It allows you retrieve all of your social feeds - Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Foursquare, and more - plus your email and news feeds, so you can view them together, search and organize them. And, you can even publish or share back to your social networks, and through your email accounts.
Scruddle is built on Windows Azure (Cloud services, table & blob storage, message queues), with ASP.NET MVC4 and WebAPI. It was developed with C#, .NET 4.0, and Visual Studio 2012. It takes advantage of the Microsoft Enterprise Library for logging and exception handling, and soon, for auto-scaling.
Mark Doyle, President & Founder, Scruddle
Do you build for scale first, or for revenue? How are those things related in your mind?
A business has to be built for revenue - that's the ultimate goal. Scalability is one of the strategic decisions which aid in that revenue goal. A system that scales well and affordably will lead to revenue (and profitability) more quickly.
The Scruddle business model is built for long-term revenue, while the product, or the implementation of that business model, is built to scale.
Do you make reasonable predictions about how you are going to achieve revenue and then test them out, or do you start with a business model and deploy it, to see if it brings in revenue?
Many start-ups begin with a cool idea, then build and deploy it quickly, hoping that revenue will come (and pivot if revenue does not result).
Scruddle, however, was planned and developed more cautiously, based on reasonable assumptions and predictions for achieving revenue. Scruddle is based on the premise that its platform for managing digital information will generate revenue, based on observations from active and acquired competitors.
What questions do you think a startup non-technical founder needs to answer when considering a cloud architecture for his or her startup, and I am thinking specifically here during the business model generation period?
Any founder, technical or not, needs to ask these questions:
- Am I considering cloud architecture because it is the latest fad, or does it allow my business to leverage scalability, flexibility, or cost benefits?
- Are the cloud service providers I am considering going to be around in 1 year, or 5 years? Do they offer reliable service and support?
- How will my business, website, or software handle sudden success (e.g., the "Slashdot effect")?
- Does my development or engineering team have the skillset to build on a cloud architecture, and do they fully understand it?
What questions do you and your technical co-founder / engineering team feel are the most important to solve about the business aspects of your company?
The questions vary by type of business, but boil down to: Does the solution being built solve the needs of the targeted consumer?
Scruddle is designed to benefit consumers that consume social media, email, and news on their smartphones and tablets; of course a mobile app has to be developed first. The engineering team must then solve the problems to make that possible - account management, data storage, REST API, etc.
Where do you include technical members of your team during the building of your business plan?
In a tech start-up such as Scruddle, technical members must be at the forefront of the business plan. If they are not contributing to the ultimate business goals and strategies, than they must at least be involved in deciding how the goals and strategies will be implemented, and detail the resources and costs required.
When did you decide that you were "startup material"?
I was actually looking for a product that I needed, before I came up with the idea for Scruddle. I wanted a mobile app to easily manage my social media, news, and potentially email, and was dissatisfied with what was available. I then wondered how difficult it would be to build my own, and how would mine be better than what was out there. It was then I realized that the concept had the potential for success. And so Scruddle was born.
What are some of the challenges you face as a founder or developer at a startup, when it comes to dealing with family life, or socially? Does working on a startup change the way you associate and interact in these areas?
Time (or lack of it) has been the ultimate challenge. I have been developing the software and working on the business, all the while holding down a full-time job, and also trying to be a good husband and father.
Sure, it would be easier if I were holed up in my mom's basement for a few months to finish development, but I'd rather have my life and figure out how to make it work.
What characteristics do you possess that make you an entrepreneur? What makes your startup a startup?
I think an entrepreneur is always looking at the world just a little differently, asking if things could be done better or faster, or at all. I definitely have that characteristic, evaluating things in life to see if there is a business opportunity available.
Scruddle is pre-revenue, so that makes it a true startup… right?
Can you describe the relationship that you have had with Microsoft in building your startup?
I have been developing with Microsoft technologies since I graduated from college in 2000. As that was my area of expertise, building Scruddle with the tools I knew was a no-brainer.
Why would an entrepreneur turn to Microsoft for help in building scale, a team, or using software?
Microsoft has succeeded by making developers successful with solid tools and platforms, which translates to business technology success. With BizSpark, entrepreneurs instantly have access to steeply discounted development tools and software; they have access to Windows Azure, which gives them the ability to build cheaply scalable products. Again, this is a no-brainer.
Tell us about your Azure based solution.
Scruddle is a single platform - mobile app and website - for viewing, searching, organizing, and sharing your digital information. It allows you retrieve all of your social profiles - Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and more - plus your email and news feeds, and publish or share back to your profiles.
Scruddle funnels enable you to organize information in the way that makes most sense to you. With profile funnels, you can merge your Facebook and Twitter feeds with your personal email, or merge your LinkedIn and work email, or any combination you need. With contact funnels, you can view status updates for one or more individuals, regardless of whether they came from Facebook or Google+.
How is Azure implemented in your solution?
Scruddle uses a combination of web and worker role cloud services, message queues, blob storage, and table storage. The ASP.NET MVC 4 website and WebAPI are hosted with web role cloud services. 3rd party services, such as Facebook and Twitter, are accessed asynchronously by worker role cloud services, and are notified by messages in the Azure message queues. Worker role cloud services are also used to index messages and contacts for searching, populating the Lucene.Net search index which resides in Azure blob storage. Virtually all data is stored with Azure table storage, except for larger images, articles, and attachments, which are stored in blob storage.
How did you get excited about Azure?
Azure is exciting for .NET developers, because the same applications can almost always be migrated to Azure. For an entrepreneur, the potential cost savings and scalability are very sexy.
What were the Azure features that prompted you to decide to build on Azure?
Two key issues prompted the decision to build Scruddle on Azure: storage and scalability. Knowing the sheer volume of data that exists with social media and digital information, a no-SQL storage option was required. As a pre-revenue startup, Scruddle also had to affordably reside on an infrastructure that could scale if needed, without having to buy or lease unused hosting services. Azure provides all of these benefits, and supports the .NET platform on which Scruddle would be developed.
What advice do you have for companies that are thinking about building in the cloud?
Plan ahead. It's that simple. The cloud, and Azure in particular, is not for every solution. Do your hardware needs justify an on-premise solution, and all the costs associated with that? For storage, will the SQL Azure limitations be enough and will SQL reporting services be required, or is table storage more feasible?

Bill seeks immunity for mariners who wound or kill pirates
Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ) has introduced legislation in the House to provide immunity to U.S. merchant mariners who wound or kill pirates while responding to a pirate attack.
Rep. LoBiondo is the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee Ranking Republican.
"Our merchant marine fleet is increasingly under attack from unlawful individuals and rogue groups that seek to disrupt commerce, seize U.S. and foreign crews, and instill fear on international waters," LoBiondo said. "It is only appropriate that our fleets be legally allowed to defend themselves from these violent encounters. This common-sense legislation is a necessary step in empowering U.S.-flagged vessels to fully protect their crews and cargo."
The United States Mariner and Vessel Protection Act (H.R. 2984) directs the Coast Guard to establish standards for when a merchant mariner on a U.S.-flag merchant vessel can use force against an attacker. Any mariner using force within those standards, and the owner, operator or master of any vessels would be exempt from liability in U.S. courts as a result of that use of force.
The bill also directs the United States to negotiate international agreements through the International Maritime Organization to provide similar exemptions from liability in other countries for the use of force by mariners and vessel owners, operators and masters.
The recent hijacking of the U.S.-flag Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates, during which the pirates kidnapped the ship's captain, highlighted the need for mariners to be able to defend themselves from attack.
The bill is cosponsored by U.S. Rep. John L. Mica (R-FL), U.S. Rep. Don Young (R-AK) and U.S. Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC).
"I commend Congressman LoBiondo for writing this bill to provide the necessary protections for mariners to freely defend their ships from pirates bent on killing, stealing and crippling worldwide commerce," said Mica, who is the Republican Leader of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

Daddy's Girl
Lisa Scottoline
NAT GRECO is her daddy's little girl, her brothers' little sister and her boyfriend's little woman.
Amid all this diminution it's nice when a sexy colleague in law school brings Professor Nat out to a prison where he's representing prisoners pro bono.
Scottoline fans will be unsurprised when a murderous riot transpires, and soon young Nat is running for her life, with hair hacked and dyed and sporting pink-rimmed glasses - 'like Fugitive Barbie'.
Scottoline doesn't hit her stride until well into the middle of this thriller, but when she does, her ditsy heroine becomes lovable and funny.
There are enough twists to satisfy the most avid gasp-seeker, and even a little instruction as the Underground Railway - the secret slave-smuggling route to Canada - is dragged into the plot by the hair of its head.
One scene where Nat flees screaming - 'they were in a mall. In other words, girl country' - and the mallsters turn on her pursuer in righteous rage will make every chivalrous heart smile.
Perfect train reading, not grabby enough to make you miss your stop, but an entertaining story to pass the journey.

The Renovators – Not Great Publicity For Sydney Council
So what does happen if the development application for the inner city terrace in Glebe continues to be delayed by the City of Sydney planning process?
Tonight on the show the team were saying they had done just about all they could do until the DA came through. This also meant this team had no hope of making it to top three tonight and be in the running for a $40,000 prize.
I am starting to really like the sixties suburban, as Tina said she is giving it a modernised Brady Bunch feel. I like the way she was confident enough to change Joanne's original design.
The Parramatta weatherboard had a lot done to the outside this week so therefore they got in the top three. This time I notice the team did hug tall Jason.
The fibro shack at Blacktown were the final team into the top three. They got in because they finally got their shizzle together with their planning.
The prize is a big one $40,000 but it was unclear whether that was cash or products.
The half renovated house, was criticised by Baz because they were not dealing with the damp properly, nor the borers. But isn't that was renovators do? Cut corners to save costs as why would they care about what state the house is going to be in in five years time.
The Marrickville shop front is going to struggle. Their back yard is lovely, however as the judges said they need to look at making the front more attractive.

personally feeling as if there is a bit of favouritism towards Tina…may be wrong but it seems she is getting a large % of screen time and possibly some iffy challenge wins…. Masterchef any one?????
- 2 Moo { 08.16.11 at 12:16 am }
That's what I'm thinking as well Sue, and honestly I don't know why Tina is getting so much screen time… I find her quite boring.
I think some of the "dodiger" aspects of MasterChef are starting to seep into The Renovators now. If this is a preview of what Shine will do next year with MasterChef, then I'm 99% sure I won't be watching it.
That said, I do enjoy The Renovators and it's disappointing that there probably won't be a Season 2 due to the dismal ratings, but that's entirely Channel 10's fault.
- 3 sue { 08.16.11 at 7:05 am }
apart from changing the plans a bit- what had they really done, compared to how much Michael's team had done…..'no fair' ( stamps foot)
- 4 smauge { 08.16.11 at 7:56 am }
I was so glad Tina changed the plans. I was with Baz when he told Jo he was upset that a classic sixties design was getting obliterated. I was glad to see Jo go, just hoping that the plans would get changed. Go Tina!
- 5 brain dead dave { 08.16.11 at 12:03 pm }
I'm not surprised that Beige Baz knows a lot about borers.
The show is quite enjoyable.
- 6 Fides { 08.16.11 at 12:18 pm }
Now I've sorted out what happens on which nights, I think I'll only watch Monday nights to see how the houses are progressing. While I do find some of the contestants interesting, I just can't care enough to make it regular viewing. But that said, I hope the boys with the Blacktown house win the challenge tonight.
- 7 Lebay { 08.16.11 at 1:05 pm }
Im over all the challenges in all the programmes. Maybe they should all get into the arena It's A Knockout style… MC v's The Renovators V's The Block and may the best team win
- 8 seepi { 08.16.11 at 4:40 pm }
I love the challenges in renovators, and hate them in the block.
I loooooove that Tina has changed the 60s suburban to reflect the house's history and design. It looks fabolous. I was disgusted with the ugly arched column doorways that they had on it before – the fibro has those too…I wonder that they could have instead if they got creative.
- 9 Justin { 09.29.11 at 3:43 pm }
Total shame there is not going to be a season 2, i was cast to be on it!

New Study: Cannabis Can Reduce Migraines
Migraines can be utterly debilitating. These extreme headaches feel like an intense pressure in one section of the head. Fortunately, research out of Colorado may bring some hope to suffering patients.
Migraine patients have a new reason to hope for relief. A study published this month shows that marijuana can reduce the occurrence of migraine headaches in some people. In fact, cannabis decreased the number of monthly migraine headaches by over half.
The Study
Migraines can be utterly debilitating. These extreme headaches feel like an intense pressure in one section of the head. Sometimes, they can even cause their victims to vomit in response to the pain. Sound pleasant? No. Absolutely not. Fortunately, research out of Colorado may bring some hope to suffering patients.
The University of Colorado conducted a recent study which tracked the anecdotal evidence of 122 adults treated for migraine headaches at two different Colorado medical dispensaries. They found that overall migraine frequency decreased from 10.4 to 4.6 headaches per month when using medical marijuana.
In the study, positive effects of medical weed were reported in 48 total patients. Those who experienced positive outcomes found that marijuana reduced the chance of getting a migraine by using the herb regularly. 11.6% of patients reported that weed kept their migraines completely at bay.
This study corroborates with a 2007 study by the Italian University of Perugia. In this study, researchers found that migraine patients had extremely low levels of endocannabinoids when compared to age-matched controls. An endocannabinoid is a compound similar to THC that our bodies produce naturally. This hints that imbalances in the endocannabinoid system may be to blame for gut-wrenching migraine headaches.
Other Helpful Migraine Tips
Find The Right Strain
When it comes to finding the most relief, there's one big question in the cannabis world: THC or CBD?
So far, studies have indicated that anandamide (our body's natural THC) may be a key compound in preventing migraine pain. Anandamide specifically binds to the CB1 cell receptors in your brain. These cell receptors are 10 times more prevalent than opioid receptors. What also binds to the CB1 receptor? THC. By comparison, CBD
By comparison, CBD largely interacts with an enzyme rather than the CB1 receptor itself. Courtesy of Leafly, here are a few high-THC Strains to try the next time you have a headache:
- Blue Dream (Great for daytime)
- Super Silver Haze (Great for daytime)
- Sour Diesel (Great for daytime)
- Purple Kush (Best for bedtime)
- Hindu Kush (Best for bedtime)
Eat Right and Take Your Vitamins
Vitamins Magnesium, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), and CoEnzyme 10 have been shown to prevent the frequency of migraines. Though CoEnzyme 10 (CoQ-10) cannot be found directly in a food source, supplements are readily available online and in most supermarkets. When it comes to the other vitamins, however, we can get them directly from the foods that we eat. Why not kill two birds with one stone with these healthy, vitamin-rich medicated recipes?
Why not kill two birds with one stone with these healthy, vitamin-rich medicated recipes?
- Kale Salad in Brown Cannabutter Vinaigrette – The backbone of this salad is magnesium-rich kale. A layer of toasted almonds also provides a decent dose of riboflavin. Pair these superfoods with a cannabutter made from a high-THC strain, and you're set for success.
- CannaGuac Tacos – Avocados are one of the top 10 sources of magnesium. An eclectic and delicious jicama slaw adds additional riboflavin and immune-boosting vitamin C to the mix. To turn these infused-tacos into the ultimate migraine medicine swap out black beans for cooked lentils.
- Sesame Mushroom Bourguignon – This hearty stew is a riboflavin powerhouse. Containing both mushrooms and sesame seeds, this meal is the perfect way to sneak in a large portion of your daily B2 intake. To boost your magnesium, pair this bourguignon with the kale salad listed above.
As with any supplement or diet change, consult your doctor before beginning any new migraine treatments.
The exact cause of migraines has been puzzling doctors for years. Fortunately, new research shows that cannabis may help. Studies indicate that migraine patients have lower levels of natural endocannabinoids in their bodies. THC can take the place of these compounds when your body is deficient. This means that marijuana may provide much-needed pain relief to migraine victims.

Gunners midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has revealed the burning desire in the Arsenal dressing room to be known as winners.
He admits the club's nine-year wait for a trophy is "always in the back of his mind" but is determined to ensure their Wembley semi-final is just the start of things to come.
Oxlade-Chamberlain said: "As a professional and as a winner, you always want to win things, that goes for every member of our team.
"There's no doubt it's in the back of your mind because all you want to do is win. This is an opportunity for us, we are one step closer.
"Every step, every round you go through, you get that little bit closer and you get hungrier and hungrier for the end result.
"You watch FA Cup games at Wembley when you are growing up and that's where you want to be. That's the stage and that's what it's all about.
"It's the first time we've been there since I've been at Arsenal, so it's definitely a big thing for us. But we can't get too carried away. It's a game of football and we can't let that occasion affect us too much.
"We just have to approach like we do every other game. We want to be excited but approach it very professionally, calm and cool as we can. Hopefully we can get through and get to the final."
Never has the FA Cup been as important to Arsene Wenger either. And this is a manager who has won it four times with Arsenal. It would prove that Wenger wants to go back to those glory days.
Gunners chief Wenger accepts that a trophy is "vital" and majority shareholder Stan Kroenke and the rest of the Arsenal hierarchy were at the Everton game to enjoy the magic of the cup as they must be praying for some silverware, too.
There is no doubt in the board's mind that Wenger is staying. Nothing has changed. He has told them he will sign the contract on the table, but a trophy would make it so much easier to sell to the fans. You would also not see supporters go into meltdown every time Arsenal lose a game. The fans want a day out at Wembley, the players want a trophy and if Wenger can also get them into top four it will have been a very good season.
The FA Cup is surely Arsenal's best hope even if Oxlade-Chamberlain insisted that Arsenal have not given up on pulling off a miracle in Munich on Tuesday.
"We've still got a chance, 100 percent," said Oxlade-Chamberlain. "Last season we went there 3-1 down - everyone wrote us off but we managed to get a good 2-0 win there.
"We'll be feeling we can something take from that, and from this performance. In football a lot of things can happen. We are top side, they will know the job's not done and we know the job's not done."
Arsenal deserved their win over Everton but, in truth, the scoreline flattered Wenger's men. But Wenger was heartened to see Mesut Ozil open the scoring and provide an assist for the fourth goal.
Everton levelled after 33 minutes when after Romelu Lukaku scored after Ross Barkley led a breakaway. But the equaliser exposed Mathieu Flamini's recklessness. Flamini had been booked early on - his eighth yellow card of the season and has also been sent off once - so couldn't make a challenge on Barkley for fear of committing a foul. His commitment is great but he needs to channel it.
Finally, Arsenal got back in front after Gareth Barry's careless trip on Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mikel Arteta converted at the second attempt after referee Mark Clattenburg ordered it to be retaken after Olivier Giroud encroached.
Giroud has been in the doghouse after being caught playing away from home.
But it is the Arsenal fans who are punished when Wenger picks Yaya Sanogo.
He is raw, not ready and running around a lot is not enough.
Tomas Rosicky made a difference when he came on. Giroud converted his first from Bacary Sagna's cross while Ozil's touch provided an assist for his second.
Arsenal are on their way to Wembley and Wenger insisted Lukasz Fabianski - who will play in Munich for the suspended Wojciech Szczesny - will continue to play in the FA Cup for the semi final.
Wenger added: "Lukasz will take heart from the fact we qualified. For him it is another opportunity to play, and I am not worried for him.
"He will play in the semi-final, yes. I make decisions when they are needed so let's not make them too quickly. At the moment of course he deserves a chance in the semi."

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
The Best Cake Slicer Ever
- Merrill
My friend Naomi always serves excellent desserts. One night after dinner, much to the delight of her guests -- myself included -- she produced a gorgeous chocolate layer cake. But it was the unusual-looking instrument she subsequently wielded that really caught my attention. It looked like a large steel comb with about twenty long, sharp tines and a silver handle. When I asked about it, she said it was a "cake breaker," designed specifically for angel food cake; the comb doesn't compromise the delicate, airy texture of angel food the way a regular knife can, although it does leave even vertical streaks running throughout each slice of cake, kind of like a rake in sand. Naomi explained that although the slicer is meant for angel food, she finds that it works well for any sort of cake.
Then, this past weekend, at my bridal shower, Naomi gave me a cake breaker of my very own! Not only that, but mine has a fabulous kelly green Bakelite handle. (She found it on eBay, clever girl.) Above are some photos of the slicer in action, and below is one of my favorite recipes for angel food, from The Joy of Cooking, with a simple toffee-laced whipped cream icing my mother used to make. If you're interested in buying a cake breaker for yourself, you can check out eBay for a vintage version, or go here for a new one, sans Bakelite handle.
Angel Food Cake with Heath Bar Whipped Cream Icing
Adapted from The Joy of Cooking and Veronica Stubbs
Serves 12
For the cake:
- 1 cup sifted cake flour
- 1 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups egg whites (from about a dozen large eggs)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 Heath bars, finely chopped

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20, 2010 – The Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic (WPIC) of UPMC has opened the nation's only inpatient unit dedicated to serving children with bipolar disorder. The Inpatient Child and Adolescent Bipolar Services (in-CABS) is an innovative program aimed at facilitating early identification and treatment of bipolar disorder in children during their initial visit to WPIC's emergency department.
Up to 15 percent of school-aged children seen at psychiatric facilities and approximately one-third of children discharged from psychiatric hospitals fit the diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder. Symptoms of this chronic disease are mood swings that may include recurrent cycles of depression and mania, changes in levels of activity and functioning, inappropriate social behavior, hypersexuality, sleep and appetite changes, difficulty with concentration and racing thoughts.
"Given the high morbidity and mortality associated with bipolar disorder, the common misdiagnosis as major depression, disruptive behavior disorders and ADHD, and the increased risk of suicide associated with incorrect treatment, it is critically important to distinguish bipolar disorder from other psychiatric conditions before the disorder progresses," said Rasim Somer Diler, M.D., medical director of in-CABS and assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh. "With our novel, multi-layered approach, we will be better able to identify, diagnose and treat this extremely debilitating disorder."
The in-CABS recently began screening all children under the age of 18 who are admitted to the WPIC emergency department for a bipolar diagnosis. All parents or caregivers of children who arrive at the emergency department complete a Child Mania Rating Scale, which is a tool that reviews both past and current manic symptoms when assessing for bipolar disorder. The scale also includes questions about family psychiatric history, the strongest predictor of bipolar disorder in children. The in-CABS team then does its own assessment to confirm the diagnosis.
"The in-CABS not only helps the children and their families to correctly identify bipolar disorder, but also helps them to rule out this possibility, which is very important when planning their treatment," adds Dr. Diler. "During the inpatient stay, children and their families receive state-of-the art treatments that target their individual needs, including workbooks and psycho-education materials written by the in-CABS team; training for mood monitoring, sleep hygiene, daily routines, and healthy nutrition and exercise; as well as dialectical, cognitive behavioral, yoga, music and art therapies."
The Child and Adolescent Bipolar Services (CABS), an outpatient clinic at WPIC that is directed by Drs. Boris Birmaher and David Axelson, has served children with bipolar disorders regionally and nationally for more than a decade and is now coordinating efforts with the in-CABS program to connect bipolar youth with ongoing research studies that will in turn help the medical team to intervene before the full expression of bipolar disorder.
"The success of this program will inform the design of future, larger studies for conceptualization of this complicated and devastating psychiatric illness, as well as for improving our diagnostic assessment and quality of care," adds Dr. Diler. "We hope in-CABS can serve as a model for other programs across the country."
Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic (WPIC) is considered to be one of the nation's foremost university-based psychiatric care facilities and one of the world's leading centers for research and treatment of mental health disorders. WPIC houses the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and is the flagship of UPMC Behavioral Health, the psychiatric specialty division of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- A little over six months after he joined MDC Partners' Redscout as its president, Nick Johnson is defecting to Interpublic Group of Cos.' Gotham to serve as chief marketing officer.
Mr. Johnson in his new post will be tasked with leading new-business efforts and helping to promote the growing shop -- which now counts some 150 staffers and clients such as Denny's, Maybelline, Best Western, Fresh Direct, Newman's Own and Time Warner Cable -- and elevate its profile in the industry. He'll report to Gotham's chairman-CEO, Peter McGuinness, and will replace the former Gotham CMO Greg Fujimoto, who remains at the agency in a senior account-management role.
"I've kept an eye on Gotham over the past year or so and have been really impressed by the momentum that Peter and [chief creative] Marty [Orzio] have been able to achieve, especially their new business track record," Mr. Johnson said in a statement. "I am genuinely excited to be on board and help them diversify their roster even more in 2011." Said Mr. McGuinness: "We're at a true turning point for the agency. Nick will no doubt bring new depth and perspective to the CMO role at Gotham and will play an integral role in our continued growth and evolution."
It's unclear whether Mr. Johnson's position is being replaced at Redscout; executives could not be reached for comment by press time. Before Redscout, Mr. Johnson spent eight years at San Francisco-based independent agency Venables Bell & Partners, where as one of four agency partners he helped take the shop from a creative boutique to a full-service shop leading creative efforts for the likes of Audi and Intel.
According to Gotham, its recruitment of Mr. Johnson is part of a slew of soon-to-be-announced hires from shops such as Wieden & Kennedy, JWT and Ammirati.
Update: MDC informs us that Nick Johnson officially left Redscout in June.

Clackamas tops West Linn, claims 6A baseball title, 5-1
KEIZER -- Clackamas senior left-hander K.C. Reilly got to finish what he started Saturday.
Reilly threw a three-hitter and the No. 2-ranked Cavaliers backed him up with an error-free defense and a nine-hit offense, clinching the OSAA Class 6A baseball state championship with a 5-1 victory over the top-ranked West Linn Lions at Volcanoes Stadium.
Jake Zehr went 2-for-2 with a pair of RBI-singles and drove in the go-ahead run for Clackamas in the fourth inning, and Jordan Mambaje and Grant Schoen each added two hits as the Cavaliers (29-3) won their third state title in 10 seasons and first since 2010.
"I told them after the game, I don't know if anything I called even worked," Clackamas coach Arntson said. "They just went out and did it themselves. That's kind of how this bunch is.
"The one thing I'll say about them is they find ways to win. That's kind of who they are."
Much of Saturday's game revolved around Reilly, the crafty left-hander who seemed to get stronger as the game progressed.
West Linn (27-5) scored a run on two hits in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead, but then had only one other hit off Reilly over the final six innings -- a one-out double in the seventh.
"Reilly was great today," West Linn coach Joe Monihan said. "He had great stuff, he was hitting his spots with his fastball, he was always around the plate, he kept us off balance, and when we did square up on baseballs, they were right at people.
"You've got to tip your hat to him, he did a great job. Anytime you're throwing two pitches around the plate and you're consistent hitting your spots, you're going to be an effective pitcher and he was certainly that today."
Winning formula
The Cavaliers rolled to this season's Mt. Hood Conference title behind a rock-solid defense, timely hitting throughout the lineup, and a three-man starting rotation that featured senior right-hander Caden Hennessy, sophomore right-hander Jeff Nelson, and Reilly. And the same formula held up in the playoffs.
Nelson drew the start as Clackamas opened the playoffs with a 6-0 win over Southridge, but then it was the two seniors who took turns on the mound after that.
First, Hennessy went the distance in a 6-1 win over Century in the second round.
Then Reilly threw a complete game in a 2-1 win over Westview in the quarterfinals.
And, finally, Hennessy again went the distance in a 6-2 win over Sheldon in the semifinals, setting the stage for Reilly's start on Saturday.
"We felt all along that our two seniors were the guys we wanted to go with," Arntson said. "Our sophomore did a great job in the first round, and once he did that, we kind of had it mapped out where we wanted to go with Caden and K.C., and they both did a good job.
"It was K.C.'s turn tonight, and he definitely rose to the occasion, I'll tell you what."
Reilly said his primary objective on the mound Saturday was to throw strikes.
"That was the whole game plan the whole time," Reilly said. "We got down in the first inning, but none of us were fazed by it,
"We knew we were going to hit the baseball, and we were going to get on West Linn at some point. We did, we scored runs, and the runs gave me that much more confidence that I could go out and finish the job right."
After retiring West Linn in order in the fifth, and then doing the same against the heart of the Lions' batting order in the sixth, Reilly noticed some action in the Clackamas bullpen. He then went to Cavaliers' pitching coach Bohlman and assured him that he had things under control.
"I told Bo, 'I'm finishing this game. No one is finishing this for me,'" he said.
West Linn's Jonathon Kelly struck out swinging to lead off the seventh, and then Drew Vannaman hit a pop fly to shallow right field that fell near the foul line for a double.
James Marshall grounded up to shortstop for the second out, moving the runner to third, and then Evan King, West Linn's No. 9 hitter, grounded out to second to end the game.
Power play
"Reilly pitched a good game," Lions' first baseman Jake Porter said. "He's definitely hittable, but our bats just weren't there today. Credit him. He pitched a great game."
West Linn catcher Micah Gibson agreed after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout.
"K.C. was dealing," Gibson said. "All his pitches were working. He was painting the corners, doing everything. We've got to tip our caps to him. We still didn't hit the way we should, but we had a really good day."
West Linn starter Tim Tawa took a 1-0 lead and a one-hit shutout into the fourth inning when Clackamas pushed home a run on consecutive one-out singles by Greg Mehlhaff, Schoen and Mambaje, respectively, to tie the score.
With two outs in the fourth, Zehr went to the plate as a pinch-hitter for designated hitter Tucker Grote, a lined a 1-2 pitch from Tawa into right field for a single, scoring Schoen with the go-ahead run.
"I was hunting a fastball," Zehr said. "Tawa was having trouble finding the strike zone with his off-speed stuff, so I was sitting dead-red fastball.
"That hit was a big momentum-changer, and that's what we needed right there. It felt good. Seeing the ball go through the hold into the outfield … that was a great feeling."
The Cavaliers added to their lead in the sixth when Buba Jaha led off with a single, went to second on a wild pitch, advanced to third on Mehlhaff's ground-out to third and scored on Schoen's single to center, making it 3-1.
After Mambaje doubled, putting runners at second and third, Reilly hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Schoen, and then Zehr came through with another single to bring home pinch-runner Jack Kelly, extending the Cavs' lead to 5-1.
"Obviously, today was a big game, but we just played the same brand of baseball that we've played since the beginning of the season," said Mambaje, the Cavs' senior catcher. "Throughout the playoffs, we just kept saying, 'It's just another game.' I think that helped us to not psych ourselves out or anything."
Throwing strikes
It also helped to have Reilly on the mound Saturday.
"K.C. was on fire," Mambaje said. "There were some first-inning jitters and West Linn got on the board. A lot of pitchers might have rolled over, but K.C. stepped up the rest of the game.
"He was hitting his spots really well, so that helped. There were a couple times he missed, but he stuff was so good, it didn't really matter. He just closes the door. He's done it all season."
Reilly threw a total of 92 pitches, including 55 strikes, and threw first-pitch strikes to 14 of the 27 batters he faced.
West Linn took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Chase Cosner and Porter hit back-to-back singles with one out, both advanced on a wild pitch, and Cosner scored on Garrett Marioni's grounder to first base.
"I think the first inning, I left the ball over the plate a little too much for them," Reilly said. "They dribbled some balls through, but then I fined tuned some things starting in the second and ... we came out on top."
In the West Linn dugout, the Lions were baffled when their offense suddenly went silent.
"After that first inning, we got a run and I was pretty confident that we would win, but then we kind of slowed down," Porter said. "I definitely throught we were going to get a few more, especially with the top of the lineup coming up.
"I thought Tawa would hit one or something like that. We hit the ball hard, but the balls just dind't fall our way today and that's just the way baseball is."
The Cavaliers last summer went 37-3 and won the Oregon Independent Baseball Association title with virtually the same lineup that took the field Saturday.
"After the summer we had, this is what we talked about," Arntson said. "This was the goal. We didn't hedge around it. That's what we wanted to do, but there's a process to it, and the kids put in their time, and it worked.
"I'm just really proud of these guys. I think there's some pressure on you when you go in as one of the favorites. Sometimes I worried that we were getting ourselves into a situation where it was, 'Win a state title or bust.' I tried to make sure we didn't put that kind of pressure on the guys, but at the same time, I knew in their minds, that was probably where they were all along."

This report examines the global and regional labour market trends and gaps, including in labour force participation rates, unemployment rates, employment status as well as sectoral and occupational segregation. It also presents a global in-depth analysis of the key drivers of female labour force participation by investigating the personal preferences of women and the societal gender norms and socio-economic constraints that women face.
A key finding of this report is that closing these labour market gaps would yield significant economic benefits in terms of GDP growth while at the same time improving individual welfare in multiple dimensions. However, the report finds that there are significant socio-economic and gender norm constraints influencing a woman's decision to participate. Accordingly, the report introduces a comprehensive framework to address the drivers of these gender gaps and outlines a series of policy recommendations to improve the labour market outcomes of women.

An upcoming presentation on Whimsy and Humor in The Saint John's Bible will likely include this image, previously presented on this blog in March 2014.
A bee works a pulley next to verses from Wisdom of Solomon, chapter 7 — verses referencing the Wisdom Woman illumination previously on display. The text reads:
7 Therefore I prayed, and understanding was given me;
[I called on God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.]
8 I preferred her to scepters and thrones,
and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her.
The text in brackets is missing. In the original Saint John's Bible, written in ink on vellum, the scribe could scrape off a faulty stroke or character, but each page of the Bible took 7 to 10 hours to write and so missing lines of text were a bigger issue. The Bible artists solved the problem in a whimsical way, by recruiting animals to lift the missing line into place. Take a look at the display page; the missing line appears at the bottom of the page, and the bee has enclosed it in a box tied with a rope running through a pulley. The pulley's top wheel, and a tiny arrow, mark the correct location for the missing text. The other two wheels help to guide your eye along the ropes to the passage.
Sarah Harris and Donald Jackson designed the pulley system based on Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical drawings. Artist Chris Tomlin, who studied natural history illustration at the Royal College of Art in London, drew many botanical and animal images for The Saint John's Bible, some of which appeared in previous images on this blog, such as the lemur, the chameleon at the end of 2 Maccabees, the butterflies on Jacob's Ladder, and the coral snake and other animals in the Garden of Eden / Adam and Eve illumination.

TICKETS for this weekend's Pacquiao-Mayweather showdown are being resold for £148,800. Each.
The overall purse for the self-styled Fight of the Century is estimated to generate in excess of $400million.
Pay per view sales in the United States alone are expected to top three million.
In this country Sky feel justified in asking an eye watering Box Office fee of £19.95, for a fight which will start in the wee small hours of Sunday morning.
And we should count ourselves lucky. In the States HBO and Showtime are asking $100 ($10 less if you watch in standard rather than high definition - a dangerous business given the speed of Mayweather's punching).
While Mayweather alone, utterly living up to his nickname 'Money', will collect $200m.
Which all begs the question.
Mayweather-Pacquiao is an appealing match up.
It's a fight between two long-term rivals we've waited a long time to see.
And despite featuring one unbeaten boxer it's competitive.
But it's a fight between two blown up little guys.
Both reached their peak five years ago.
And it's four years now since Mayweather - the likely winner - stopped anybody, and more than two years since Pacquiao ended a contest early.
Engrossing it will surely be. But a thrill a second slugfest? Hardly.
Those incredible financial figures are clearly a tribute to the power of marketing.
But can such sums and such unprecedented demand be purely down to the power of advertising?
There must be something else.
Is it the mystique attached to the possibility of a man moving just one fight away from Rocky Marciano's legendary 49 and 0 landmark?
Is it the classic good guy (philanthropic, charity working, home loving Pacquiao) versus bad guy (money loving, king of bling Mayweather who has three times faced domestic violence charges) scenario?
Or is the current boxing world so moribund that a very, very good match up is propelled into the ranks of Super-fightdom?
I fear the latter.
In the 1980s any number of middleweight match ups - Hagler-Hearns, Leonard-Duran, Hagler-Leonard deserved greater profile.
In the 1990s we had another middleweight golden age featuring three guys from these shores - Benn, Eubank and Collins, against men like McClennan, Toney and Roy Jones junior.
While in the 1970s the heavyweight division was blessed with some of the greatest fighters of all-time - Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Shavers and the eternally under-rated Kenny Norton.
Yet only one contest - the 1971 showdown between two undefeated champions - enjoyed the Fight of the Century tag given to Mayweather-Pacquiao.
It should be an absorbing contest, won by a craftsman who will go gown in history as one of the greatest pound for pound stylists of all-time.
But is it worth an overall purse north of $400million?
Not for me.
