SPRINGFIELD - Police said a man was killed during Saturday's snowstorm when he exited his car in the area of 1312 Parker St. and touched an electrified wooden guardrail.
Police Capt. William Collins said he had no additional information about the accident.
"We are losing power and there are wires and trees down all over the city," Collins said.
The unusual October snowstorm was causing chaos throughout the Pioneer Valley as the snow tore down wires and trees, causing rampant power outages in cities and towns.
Western Massachusetts Electric Co. spokeswoman Sandra Ahearn said approximately 24,000 customers were without power as of 5 p.m. in Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties.
"The largest concentration is in the city of Springfield with13,000," Ahearn said. "There is a lot of tree damage. We are anticipating a multi-day event. The damage is pretty severe. There may not have power for a few days."
"The part that's particularly troublesome is the full leaf canopy. It just pulls the heavy wet snow and weighs everything down and causes tree limbs to break and take down lines with it," Ahearn added.
She said additional crews have been requested to help repair the lines. National Grid also was reporting approximately 23,000 customers without power in Hampshire, Hampden and Franklin counties.
"We'll be working at this until we get all of our customers back," National Grid spokeswoman Jackie Barry said.

American Masters: Jeff Bridges4 51 Share Tweet
We know Jeff Bridges as the tenpin-bowling dude from The Big Lebowski and the eyepatch-wearing gunman from True Grit, but did you know that the Oscar-winning actor is also a cartoonist, musician, and photographer? Find out more about Jeff Bridges and his Widelux panoramic shots in this edition of American Masters.
Son of Hollywood actors Lloyd Bridges and Dorothy Dean, showbiz was written in the stars for Jeff Bridges, now 62. While he took a few acting classes in New York after high school, most of his training came from his early experience in making appearances on his parents' programs. "The hardest thing about acting is getting a foot in the door and that was all handled by my dad. The fact is, I'm a product of nepotism."
He got his big break in the coming-of-age movie, The Last Picture Show (1971), being nominated for his first Academy Award. Stepping out of his father's shadow in memorable performances for critically-acclaimed films, he went on to star in blockbusters like Tron (1982), The Big Lebowski (1998), and Iron Man (2008). He has since won numerous accolades, including an Oscar for Best Actor in the film Crazy Heart (2009).
"When you start to engage with your creative processes, it shakes up all your impulses, and they all kind of inform one another," said Jeff Bridges of his other artistic pursuits. Between filming, he likes to draw doodles, make music, buy wine, support causes, and—our favorite—take panoramic pictures! His weapon of choice is the vintage Widelux F8, a 35mm camera with a swing lens that pans nearly 180 degrees (similar to the Horizon Perfekt) which he discovered as a student.
"I've been taking pictures and making movies for most of my life… I started taking pictures in high school. I set up a darkroom and would lose track of time, developing and printing for hours and hours, listening to FM radio in the red 'safe light'. I must say, I never really enjoyed developing negatives. It's probably the most important part of the whole process, but what I loved was the printing – watching those images come out of the 'soup'. Seeing that proof sheet of those pictures I'd taken weeks before and forgotten all about – that's what I loved. To this day, looking at a proof sheet for the first time is like opening a Christmas present I've given to myself. What a great surprise – to see what the camera saw; what worked and what didn't; to feel the moment of the picture all over again."
The Widelux his wife had given to him barely leaves his side, as you will notice in these rare black-and-white photographs from behind the scenes of some of his movies. Co-star cameos, interesting anecdotes, and filmmaking secrets are revealed in his galleries which have also been published into a photo book, Jeff Bridges: Pictures.
"The Wide-Lux is a fickle mistress; its viewfinder isn't accurate, and there's no manual focus, so it has an arbitrariness to it, a capricious quality. I like that. It's something I aspire to in all my work
-a lack of preciousness that makes things more human and honest, a willingness to receive what's there in the moment, and to let go of the result. Getting out of the way seems to be one of the main tasks for me as an artist."
Stay tuned as we feature more of Jeff Bridges in the Magazine this week, or read more articles from the American Masters series.

Not so easy keeping up with this week's guest curator, Rebecca Gates. But fun? You bet.
First, there's her recording career, both in the Spinanes and as a solo artist. (if you haven't checked out 2012's The Float, you need to do that)
A few years ago, she began a journey into music advocacy, exploring revenue for artists and other messy areas of the post-milennial music industry. She also has a foot in the contemporary art world, through her consulting work and practice in sonic art.
This week she's bring us some perspective on
- The economic realities of music revenue
- How art fairs are changing the game for gallerists and artists
- Building a creative life around community
…and more. If you're angling for a preview, and can make it into town, you can catch her lecture at PNCA Thursday night.

Poli Glow Boat Polish System
|Poli Glow Boat Polish Kit
Results Speak for Themselves...
See it in Action...
Never wax your boat again!
Does your boat shine when wet only to fade again once the water dries?
Traditionally, boat waxes, cleaners, and compounds have been used to restore aged gelcoat. The problem is they wash away and don't last very long. Just ask anyone who has spent hours of breaking their back waxing only to have the surface return to it's aged look within a few months, weeks or days time.
As fiberglass ages, UV rays from the sun change the gelcoat finish - the surface becomes microscopically pitted so that light, instead of being reflected in one direction becomes scattered, reflecting back in random directions, creating a dull and faded appearance. The PoliGlow process first clears the microscopic voids of the collection of accumulated compounds, waxes, oxidation and grime; then the PoliGlow fills those voids and produces a "like wet" surface reflection superior to any wax available!
PoliGlow is not a wax, it is a UV protective clear coat that has been independently proven to have a shine 5 times that of the best waxes on the market. Not only that, but it also maintains that shine for up to a year and more.
Say goodbye to buffing, PoliGlow is a different animal.

Before we begin, a lot of you have emailed or tweeted me recently asking for my "take" on the Jameis Winston situation. My take is that -- until charges are brought -- it is reckless to speculate about the impacts of an ongoing criminal investigation, especially without knowing all the facts. This is a far more serious matter than NCAA rules violations or coaching hot-seat rumors.
So, while I realize this story is of huge interest to college football fans, I'm afraid the Mailbag will not be your go-to stop to read about it. Fortunately, we have other matters to address.
No one-loss team has ever reached the BCS title game at the expense of a power-conference unbeaten, but Auburn, if it got to that point, would have a pretty compelling case. Not only would the Tigers have beaten top-ranked Alabama, but they also would have defeated another top-10 foe (Missouri or South Carolina) a week later in the SEC title game. Add in a third Top 25 win on the road against Texas A&M, as well as the fact that Auburn's only loss came on the road at LSU in September, and there's a lot to like.
Still, while the Big Ten isn't the SEC, neither is it the Mountain West. By season's end, Ohio State will have played two top-15 opponents (and in Wisconsin's case, I'd contend top 10). But, more importantly, the Buckeyes will have won all of their games. People take for granted just how difficult it is to go undefeated, no matter which conference a team is in. Look at Oklahoma State, which was talented enough to rout Baylor 49-17 on Saturday -- a result that proves the Cowboys can play with anyone in the country -- but which lost on the road at West Virginia on Sept. 28. Or look at Stanford, which shut down Oregon on Nov. 7, but lost at Utah a few weeks earlier. Some may scoff, but there's something to be said for Ohio State playing well enough every week to avoid an equivalent letdown against Northwestern or Iowa.
So while I wouldn't want to render a final verdict until the remaining games have been played (the Buckeyes could still lose to Michigan State, after all), as of now, I'd say no, a one-loss Auburn team would not pass Ohio State in the rankings. Interestingly, this might be another scenario that gets treated differently next year by the selection committee, which will emphasize strength of schedule. If the committee --were it in place today-- felt that the Tigers' schedule (which includes a nonconference win over bowl-bound Washington State) is vastly superior to the Buckeyes', there's nothing stopping it from seeding one-loss Auburn higher than unbeaten Ohio State in the playoff. (Realistically, both would be in.) But this being the BCS, where only two spots are available in the title game, and where the unofficial directive for 15 years has been to win every game, this particular scenario does not merit suddenly bucking precedent and telling the Buckeyes, Sorry, not good enough.
By the way, all of this is moot because the Crimson Tide will beat the Tigers by 17 points.
Yes, the Longhorns absolutely dodged a bullet, which is funny because earlier this season plenty of Texas fans would have traded Mack Brown for Muschamp on the spot. People in Austin love Muschamp, much the way fans of a team with a struggling quarterback fall in love with the redshirt freshman they've never seen take a snap. Some guys are meant to be head coaches, and others are just really good defensive coordinators. Muschamp falls in the latter category.
There's nothing "uniquely bad" about the situation Muschamp inherited. Most first-time head coaches would kill to break in at Florida of all places, where Urban Meyer landed the country's top-ranked recruiting class a year before Muschamp's arrival. Meyer did leave the cupboard a little bare on offense, but three years into Muschamp's tenure, that's no longer an excuse. Nor do the Gators' many injuries excuse them losing at home to a 6-4 FCS team.
Muschamp struck me as a bad fit shortly after he took over. He's a defensive-minded coach at a school whose fan base was reared on Steve Spurrier's Fun 'n' Gun and the Meyer/Tim Tebow spread offense. Muschamp is the polar opposite of Spurrier on the personality spectrum. He is hotheaded and defensive at one of the most pressure-packed programs in the nation. Now imagine him as the head coach of the Longhorns, doing five hours of coaches' shows and speaking at booster functions every week. The one thing I will say in his defense is that Texas probably would have benefitted more than Florida from an injection of Muschamp's toughness. As NFL scouts told my colleague Pete Thamel earlier this year, the Longhorns under Brown are known for their "country club atmosphere."Muschamp, as the defensive coordinator at Texas, overcame that. But if he were the Longhorns' coach, all the same flaws he's showing with the Gators would have reared their head eventually.
The good news? Someone will snap Muschamp up in a heartbeat as a highly paid defensive coordinator once Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley finally stops delaying the inevitable and pulls the plug.
First of all, Missouri deserves every bit of positive press that it is receiving. The Tigers have proven a lot of people wrong this fall, myself included. They have a phenomenal defense. I did not expect them to go to Ole Miss -- a team that has beaten LSU, Texas and, very nearly, Texas A&M -- last Saturday and control the game from start to finish. (I actually picked the Rebels to win.) So I want to make that abundantly clear before giving my response. Here's my answer: If Missouri had moved to the Big Ten and was 10-1 right now, the Tigers would be ranked about five spots lower, and they would be viewed as further indictment of the Big Ten's dire state.
As I've said before, Mizzou had some pretty good teams in the Big 12 that were largely disregarded. Its 2007 squad, which went 12-2, clobbered an Arkansas team that featured running backs Darren McFadden and Felix Jones in the Cotton Bowl. But when the Tigers moved to the SEC, they took a big step up in competition, so there was reason to be skeptical whether they could compete. (Though if you'll recall, Mizzou was widely expected to have a better conference debut than Texas A&M heading into last season.)
I don't view the Tigers' success this year as an indictment of the SEC. When coupled with the Aggies' smashing debut a year ago, however, it does permanently debunk the provincial SEC conventional wisdom that if an inferior conference's best team had to play an SEC schedule, it would go 8-4. A good team is a good team regardless of the league in which it plays. With the SEC's level of respect, however, a team is much more likely to gain national acceptance than it would in some other conference.
I've been wrong about Mizzou.
Keep in mind, Williams also rushed for 149 yards on 28 carries in Boston College's 48-34 loss to Florida State on Sept. 28. But I understand your point. That mystical 2,000 number (which no running back has hit in five years) is his big selling point. He's also had three enormous games in a row -- 295 rushing yards at New Mexico State, 339 against NC State and 263 at Maryland -- and averaged at least 8.1 yards per carry in each. However, the more Heisman-worthy running back may be Arizona's Ka'Deem Carey, who doesn't have as many peaks, but has been extremely steady. (He has rushed for at least 119 yards in every game he's played.) Last Saturday, Carey turned in arguably the most remarkable performance of any running back this season when he carried 48 times for 206 yards and four touchdowns in the Wildcats' 42-16 rout of Oregon. But he is more than 500 yards behind Williams for the season, in part because he was suspended for Arizona's opener against Northern Arizona.
Realistically, neither tailback is going to win the Heisman. A quarterback will. But Williams has the better chance to make it to New York, due to both his 2,073-yard (and climbing) rushing total and the fact that his school is on the East Coast.
When it comes to those at-large selections, BCS bowls often shy away from teams that just lost their conference championship game, especially if there's another team available with a similar ranking or record. That's even true when the excluded team beat the chosen one head-to-head. Take last year's Sugar Bowl, for example. Florida (11-1) got the nod over Georgia (11-2) even though the Bulldogs defeated the Gators 17-9 in October.
In fact, just two years ago, Michigan State essentially got penalized for losing the Big Ten title game, which gave the Spartans a third defeat and caused them to fall out of the top 14 of the BCS standings. Coach Mark Dantonio's team was suddenly ineligible for a Sugar Bowl berth. The spot went instead to 10-2 Michigan, a team that Michigan State had beaten earlier in the season.
Thus, if facing a choice between a 10-2 Wisconsin team riding a seven-game winning streak and an 11-2 Spartans squad fresh off a loss (and with a fan base that just spent travel dollars going to Indianapolis), I'd expect the Orange Bowl to select the Badgers. However, here's the good news for Michigan State fans: If Ohio State moves up to the BCS championship game, the Rose Bowl would almost certainly take the Spartans, as Wisconsin has played in that game in each of the last three years.
You know, I hadn't noticed that before, but I'm going to be more mindful of it moving forward. Just so you know.
I would hope people realize by now that the BCS' use of math is a farce. I have no problem with using computer ratings, but the versions used by the BCS are not what most of their programmers intended, due to the no-margin-of-victory edict. Thus, you can have a discrepancy like NIU ranking fourth in the BCS version of Jeff Sagarin's rankings, as opposed to 37th in his true ratings. At least the BCS formula throws out the outliers. Furthermore, there's no effective way to delve into this subject, because all but one of the programmers do not publish their methodology.
That said, remember that a team's computer average each week is not only impacted by the game it played, but also by the games of its opponents (and its opponents' opponents). The fact is, Fresno's schedule appears weaker as the year goes on. For one thing, the Bulldogs' season-opening foe, Rutgers, keeps losing and is now 5-5. Conversely, NIU's Week 1 opponent, Iowa, continues to look better after the Hawkeyes beat Michigan 24-21 last week to improve to 7-4.
Before beating 1-10 Western Michigan 33-14 on Tuesday, NIU's past two opponents, Ball State and Toledo, were a combined 16-6. Fresno's past two foes, Wyoming and New Mexico, are 7-14. So it may be that such a reversal was inevitable. What I'll be most curious to see next week is whether the voters -- who have kept the Bulldogs ranked above the Huskies all year -- might now take a cue from the computers and flip the teams in the polls.
Dykes' debut season could not have gone much worse. It definitely caught me by surprise. I think he and I were both a bit naïve to the situation he inherited, both on and off the field. He walked into a program that had eroded beyond just its win-loss record -- as evidenced by Cal posting the worst graduation rate in all of FBS.
Still, in visiting with Dykes this spring, he truly believed the Bears' 2013 campaign would go better. This was Cal. It's a great school. He had an Air Raid offense that had broken records everywhere he'd been, and he was going to run it with a freshman quarterback. What could possibly go wrong?
Evidently, everything. The defense, as it turned out, was an even bigger problem than the offense, allowing more points per game (45.9) than all but two teams nationally; a surfeit of injuries certainly took their toll on that side of the ball. Still, the Bears had more talent than they showed. If I'm a Cal fan desperate for encouragement, I'd keep in mind that it took Dykes a year and a half to get going at Louisiana Tech, where he lost 11 of his first 17 games before going 16-4 in his next 20, won a conference title in his second year and produced the nation's top offense in his third. I'd also note that Dykes' mentor, Mike Leach, suffered through a similarly nightmarish debut at Washington State last year, going 3-9 and losing his first eight conference games, before improving to 6-5 (4-4 Pac-12) this year. Sometimes, it takes a little while to change a culture. I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet.
I appreciate the concern. I try to stay pretty consistent with my snark, but it's possible you're seeing a late-season spike in sarcasm as my way of coping with the fact that as the stakes rise, so, too, does reader paranoia.
I couldn't tell you, man. I never wrote that.

Yes, it sucks that these images get put on the internet, but it is not taking place on the internet, it is taking place in the real world and being posted on the internet. It needs to be dealt with in the real world.

I ask those who disagree with me what they think should be done with the issues I have raised in this thread how should we prevent crime in the internet?
I am not talking about taking away freedom of speech on the internet, I am talking about policing the internet to take away the ability of criminals to use the internet for their evil deeds.
You cannot put an end to cyber crimes just like you cannot end "real world" crimes. It's a non-issue. What you raise are already crimes and people get locked up for it already.

Children can get swiped off the street walking to a friends house, and end up in some basement dungeon used as "entertainment" for certain groups of people on the internet who get off on watching children suffer. Or they can be be abused or manipulated into sex in situations while being filmed, and then it is shared with others online.

It is NO different frequenting an area of cyberspace, and defending this space, as some sort of onlinewild west where anything goes.
If you think protecting everyones rights equally, including the rights of pedophiles to use this software for their own purposes, is in any way "Moral" or "Right", then i am afraid the general level of humanity on ATS is pretty poor.
How many of you whilst using tor have accidentaly found child porn whilst navigating .onion domains?.
How many would admit accidentaly finding it, it is unfair to all children everywhere, each a potential victim, to allow an unregulated, anonymous, convenience store for online pedos, to continue to exist.
I wouldn't care if they shut the entire net down, if it protected a single child from the harm of being sexually predated upon.
You shouldn't either, should you?.
I just want to say, just in case it might make a difference this has been written by a UK perspective.
why I think the internet should be police.
they can hide behind the vale of cyberspace

Take for example childish bullying
it is no longer confide to the parameters of the playground

Valdelavilla Poeta
I'm at the Pueblo Ingles english teaching program here in Valdelavilla (the place is in the middle of nowhere...but it's got wi-fi amazingly enough), and one of the waitresses here gave me some poetry that she wrote about her life here, living in San Pedro Manrique, a nearby tiny village. I thought it was quite lovely.
mountain view from Valdelavilla, Spain
He hablado con la noche,
Quiero que baje la luna,
Bese a mi amor en la frente,
Bese a mi hijo en la cuna,
Lo arrulle hasta que vuelva,
En una nube de espuma,
Al hijo que yo mas quiero....
Quiero que baje la luna
I have spoken with the night,
I want the moon to fall,
To kiss my love on the forehead,
To kiss my son in the cradle,
Overwhelming them until it returns,
In a cloud of foam,
To the son I love most....
I want the moon to fall
Cierro los ojos al silencio,
Oigo la voz del recuerdo,
Memorias de mi infancia,
La tierra de donde vengo,
Mi Extremadura del alma,
La familia que alli deje,
El pueblo donde naci....
Los ecos de otros tiempos.
I close my eyes with silence,
I hear the voice of memory,
Memories of my childhood,
The land where I come from,
My extremities of my soul,
The family that allows me there,
The town where I was born....
The echoes of another time.
his words are pure poetry, Dónde está Che Pelotas?

My Girlfriend's Closet is a nonprofit organization localized in San Diego, California that collects quality, gently used clothing, shoes and accessories and distributes it to foster, homeless and economically disadvantaged teenage girls and young women.
By providing stylish clothing in an inviting, boutique-like "shopping" environment, we offer a unique wardrobe resource that aims at helping these disadvantaged girls feel more confident and comfortable in their schools and communities. We collect clothing at various locations, and hold sorting and distribution events several times a year.
Visit our Events & News page for more information about upcoming sorting and distribution events.
The name "My Girlfriend's Closet" was chosen to reflect the desire of the teens who founded the organization to share their gently used clothing with disadvantaged girls their own age - just as they do with their girlfriends. The organization's structure was designed to include and, in fact, depend upon the active participation and shared decision-making of the teen volunteers, thus fulfilling another objective: to teach young leaders how to initiate and effectively run a nonprofit organization for the benefit of the community.

JLo has been in the spotlight for quite a while — and she managed to rock practically ever trend ever throughout the course of her career. From that plunging Versace to cargo capris and fur, see how her style has morphed throughout the years.
She definitely has come a long way from her "Jenny On The Block" days! Regardless of whether or not you're a fan of the divine diva, there's one thing you can't take away from her — and that's her willingness to embrace any and every trend ever. Hey, Jennifer Lopez has been rocking crop tops since before they came back in style — and there's a whole lot more variety where that came from.
Jennifer Lopez Old Pictures: The Early Years
Our first photo takes us back to 1996, when a young Jennifer attended the 25th Annual Nosotros Golden Eagle Awards sporting crazy curls, a cropped, tied sweater and a small handbag. Sure, JLo's look is quite questionable but hey, let's blame it on the late 90s.
Jennifer Lopez's 'Selena' Style — A Star Is Born:
Jennifer's major role was in the film Selena, and for the premiere the star stunned in a sparkling gown that enhanced her shoulders. We're pleasantly surprised to see that she learned to tame her tresses and pulled her hair back, keeping the focus on that gorgeous face. She clearly had an affinity for accessorizing from early on, which is evident on the red carpet as she was gingerly draped in a blue fur and satin stole.
Jennifer Lopez's Infamous Versace Dress:
After Jennifer emerged in that plunging sheer Versace dress it was evident that the red carpet hasn't, and never will, be the same again. Although she just looked at the dress and shrugged, (oh, this little old thing?), everyone else could not stop staring. The plunging neckline extended below her belly button and the fabric was essentially held together by a brooch — and yet she avoided a wardrobe malfunction and looked absolutely amazing. I have always had an irrational affinity for Jennifer Lopez with Puff Daddy, (Jen+Puffy4Ever). Now, looking back, I think half of it is based on the fact that they were dating when she stepped out in this iconic ensemble.
Jennifer Lopez Embraces Florals, Get Bangs & Gets Married — Just In Time For The Grammys:
We all know girls who like to change their look after they go through an emotional breakup — and Jen did just that and then took it one step further. A new look, bangs, and a quick marriage seem to be just the trick for getting over an ex, (or at least in Jen's book in 2002 it was).
It was obvious the star wasn't going to be able to recreate that major moment in 2000, so instead she swapped the plunging neckline for a leggy look. Jen attended an afterparty with her husband Cris Judd — and by now it's obvious that her taste in men seems to have evolved as quickly as her taste in trends. On this occasion, the star selected a blue ensemble that put her toned legs on full display. While her figure and her new bangs looked amazing, the embroidered flowers and the knee-high boots are what really threw us off — but hey, it's just a sign of the times…and in 2002 she definitely 'werked' that red carpet in her outfit!
The Bennifer Period:
Oh, the Bennifer phase. Jen and Ben were the first celeb couple to get their very own nickname. What could be better than one mega-star, you ask? Two mega stars. In a RELATIONSHIP. It's a true sign that the stars have aligned in Hollywood to create one major superpower — and clearly Jen's style was perfectly on point during this time, when it was impossible for her to go anywhere without someone snapping a photo.
While JLo was with Ben Affleck she had already developed a knack for stealing the spotlight in sexy looks on the red carpet, which is clearly evident in the gallery above. Plunging necklines are JLo's best friend — but it only foreshadowed what was yet to come. While Jennifer dated Ben she continued to stay ahead of the fashion pack, donning everything from chiffon gowns to fur.
A Dark Moment In 2004:
Silly fans, don't be fooled by the rocks that she's got! She's still Jenny from the block — and she couldn't have found a better outfit to display that lyric if she tried. When Jen goes through a breakup she really likes to redefine her sense of style — and unfortunately it didn't work out on this occasion. Her relationship with Ben went through a few on-again, off-again phases before the couple finally called it quits — and the stress of her personal life clearly took a toll on her closet. While I really loved the majority of Jen's looks, (even if they all are in rightfully in red-carpet-retirement), I can't say the same for this outfit. The hat, the low-rise capris, the clear-and-wooden heel combo, the sequin bolero jacket, OH AND THE SIDE PONYTAIL — oh my. Hey, some people stress eat — and I guess others punish themselves in other ways. Let's move on and leave 2004 in the past, (where it belongs).
The 'I-Only-Party-On-Yachts-With-Roberto-Cavalli' Phase:
I could not be happier to see that JLo decided to leave the capris at home and instead embraced the true diva-off-duty look — a wide-brimmed hat and a flowing caftan. The star, who was hanging with designer Roberto Cavalli, can do diva-glam in her sleep — and this ensemble is true proof of that.
Jennifer Lopez: The Later Years:
Although no one can rock a nude embellished catsuit and a plunging neckline quite like Jennifer, sometimes she likes to surprise us — and that's exactly what she did in 2011, when she embraced a softer, more feminine look. While I love how she always keeps us on our toes, JLo definitely looks her best when a backless silhouette, a plunging neckline or a thigh-high slit is involved.
Speaking of thigh-high slits, rocking a leggy look has definitely become one of her signatures — and that's just what she did at the 2013 Grammys. While nothing will ever be as epic as her plunging Versace, she still knows how to make a statement.
Today, Jennifer is praised as a divine diva, a major trendsetter, and an international superstar — and none of that would have been possible if she hadn't gone through all of these very interesting phases of her life!
Browse our gallery above and let us know which trend you think suited Jennifer best.

In a special guest appearance on "The Daily Show," legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld had some help for Jon Stewart.
Stewart, you see, was trying to overcome his more juvenile self -- which wanted to accuse GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann's husband, Marcus, of hypocritically being gay as he tried to "pray the gay" out of people.
As evidence, Stewart played a clip of Marcus Bachmann swing-dancing with Michele and also a clip of his slightly lispy voice.

The economy added a robust 163,000 jobs in July but unemployment rose to 8.3 percent as fewer people participated in the work force, the Labor Department reported Friday.
With only three months to go before the presidential election, the country is eyeing the nation's unemployment to assess the state of the U.S. economy. The jobs report was mostly good news and stocks advanced. June's revised report showed that employers added just 64,000 jobs that month.
"This jobs report has very mixed news ranging from a decent payroll growth number of +163k, to very disappointing numbers from the household survey," said Stephen Bronars, chief economist with Welch Consulting. "In the household survey the unemployment rate increased from 8.2 to 8.3, the employment to population ratio fell and the participation rate fell in July. Those are all very troubling."
Unemployment has been above 8 percent for 41 consecutive months. The Labor Department report showed that the actual number of Americans working dropped by 195,000. That means the net gain reported in July was due to seasonal adjustments.

Top 100 Agencies 2014: Vogel Farina
Vogel Farina. No Nonsense." This, the greeting on the Grey Healthcare Group/WPP subsidiary's website, is followed by "Senior Momentum, not Senior Moments" on the contact page, referring to the agency's policy of having senior executives stay engaged with clients beyond the pitch.
Simple. Straightforward. And, were it not for the 60% sales growth in 2013 compared to 2012, a first glimpse at the homepage could be construed as a little… vanilla. But to dismiss what appears to be a visual undersell would be to miss a mindset that has helped the agency of around 50 full-time employees accrue a client list that includes Celgene, Dendreon, Greer, Novartis and Pfizer. "We provide smart, practical advice. And that's sort of been our mantra," Co-President Jeff Farina tells MM&M.
The other co-president, Bob Vogel, notes that in 2013 VF "saw our largest growth in terms of income, in terms of growing the client base." He says he expects 2014 to be more about stabilizing.
The foundation for 2013's growth came not just from having the talent, but also the foresight to be in what is now a critical part of the pharmaceutical marketplace: specialty and immuno-oncology drugs. Both are sweet spots for corporate pipelines and both are also a major focus of payers and cost-bearing patients, both of which are becoming increasingly aware of this growing industry subset. "Specialty is becoming more mainstream, but it doesn't mean everybody can do it. It requires a lot of strategic heavy lifting," says Vogel.
The duo has been focused on the specialty division since the agency's start in 2002, and has grown the business along with its footprint to include 12 brand products and a portfolio of in-house talent that provides output which is 50% interactive, 25% digital and 25% disease education.
Vogel Farina's talent pool is not only well-versed in digital, but the agency also requires it to go beyond their core skill sets and learn the science behind their clients' products and where those products fit in the pharmaceutical space. To further this fluency, the agency onboarded its first-ever director of scientific strategy, Colleen Admirand, a former VP, group creative director at Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide. The co-presidents haven't hammered out exactly what this new role entails ("We'll let you know when we find out," Vogel jokes), but it is part of the agency's process which is that everybody is all-in on all fronts.
This mindset has been one that has enabled the agency to see a client's needs—and potential solutions—from beyond the client's own perspective, a capability that has helped VF creatives to develop tools like the Novartis Oncology My NET Manager app which helps patients manage their disease and better communicate with their medical teams.
The importance of looking ahead is also rubbing off on clients. Vogel and Farina note that clients are now having conversations about how to connect with payers earlier in their conversations with the agency. As in before approval—so the idea of value is baked into the strategy, as opposed to being tacked on at the end.
Landing work has been a mix of straight-out pitching—such as with the Dendreon account for the prostate cancer drug Provenge—and others, such as Celgene, that have grown out of a client's previous experience with VF.

Once again I'm on Vogue, as I literally have nothing better to do than browse all the lovely photographs. I was looking through the Cartier International Polo gallery to see who went (quite a collection of people Geri Halliwell to Tina Hobley, who?) and David Gandy popped up looking perfect in this double breasted suit jacket with cropped sleeves. I mean what man could pull that look off? No one but Gandy, I say.
And then to my delight Vogue suggests I visit David Gandy's blog. Yes that's right he's the newest guest blogger for Vogue.com! They have so many it's hard to keep up reading them all but this one I definitely will especially seeing as though his new ad for Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue with Anna Jagodzinska is out shortly and it is intense.

As regular bookaholic readers will know I read a lot of murder mystery series but none so far have been set in American Samoa. I loved the fact that this one was as the setting and the culture is as much part of the story as the thriller. Having read this book I really want to visit the country.
Apelu Soifua has returned to his native Samoa and is investigating a break in and burglary at a white mans house. This seemingly simple crime turns into one which is bigger than anyone knows. Apelu is an unconventional cop with his own views of the way in which things should be done. This leads to a very individualistic and fresh feel to the book.
The characters are superbly drawn with descriptions of the country and people which make you feel you are there. You never seem to know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys and these seem to be interchangeable. However, rather than confusing the reader, this added to the story. This is an expertly written book which is highly enjoyable and which I couldn't put down. I will certainly be looking for others in this series and from this author.
I received this book form Amazon for a fair and honest review. My review is based on my reading of and enjoyment of the book. I was not coerced in any way to provide a positive review.
That's it for now Bookaholics. I am already knee deep in another murder so expect another review soon. See you then and keep reading.

Majestic MST36 Fireplace Doors
Free Shipping | Low Price Guarantee | No Hassle Returns
The models listed here have an opening of 36" x 21.5" You can verify this by measuring it and then verifying the metal tag with your model number as shown below: MBU36, MBU36I, MBUC36I,MB36, MST36, MBUC36, RC36, R36, MSF36, BT8363
Here are some tips to buy and install your new doors:
* Tip - do not go by the model # on your owner's manual. Manufacturer's are notorious for using the same manual for different models even though the specs may be different.
* Tip - take a snapshot of your fireplace and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com: Please send a couple of angles including your fireplace hearth and a close up of the corners. (We need to be able to see the entire fireplace so that we can help spot any problems.
* Tip - Stone Fireplaces and Tile Surrounds - if you have a stone fireplace look closely to see if any stone protrudes into the opening of your firebox. This can prevent your replacement doors from fitting into the opening.

Does Learning-Centered Teaching Promote Grade Improvement?
- 972 Downloads
- Citations
When the grade distribution within a course shifts towards higher grades, it may be due to grade inflation or grade improvement. If the positive shift is accompanied by an increase in achievement or learning, it should be considered grade improvement, not grade inflation. Effective learning-centered teaching is designed to promote student learning due to increased responsibility for learning, engagement with course material, and opportunity for formative assessments prior to summative assessments of course learning outcomes, which leads to improved grades. We suggest ways that faculty members practicing learning-centered teaching can collect and analyze data to support increased learning and grade improvement.

Your credit score and your financial identity affect everything in your life, and you should protect them both. Here's why and how.
Your credit score affects loan rates, including for your vehicle and mortgage, credit or debit cards, even a college loan for your son or daughter. Something as minor as a single late payment can stay on your credit history for three years and affect your credit rating.
Federal law requires the three top credit reporting agencies – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion – to provide one free credit report a year. Apply only at AnnualCreditReport.com. Beware of similar sounding website names where you will be charged a fee, or worse, become a victim of identity fraud.
Check your credit card terms to see if you can check credit scores through your online account service. Many offer this free service to customers, and it doesn't affect your credit score.
The credit reporting website Credit Karma also provides free credit scores. My adult son got a Discover card mainly for its free perk of a credit score included in the monthly statement.
As for identity fraud, your personal information is under constant threat from global scammers who can empty your bank account in a nanosecond. More than 70 million shoppers were affected in 2013 by a major security breach at Target. It was bad enough that the company offered those customers three years of free identity fraud monitoring.
The largest identity protection service, LifeLock, charges $10 to $30 a month, depending on level of service, including whether it's an individual or family plan. AARP identity protection offers a free 14-day trial, then charges begin at $13 per month or $110 annually for individuals 50 and older. The AARP plan includes lost-wallet protection and court records monitoring.
Credit Sesame is a new free financial website, launched April 14, 2014, that combines free credit reporting and identity protection. The site also offers a feature that allows you to compare mortgage and refinancing rates, and bank interest and credit card credit rates for your personal financial situation. Credit Sesame also alerts you if something in your financial life changes.
The advantage of a single service is that you avoid having your personal information across multiple websites. The disadvantage is having all your personal financial information on a single website.
So how does such a free service afford to stay in business? If your financial situation is such a shambles that you help to fix it, they'll do that, for a fee.
Final tips: It's important to check your credit report regularly. Make that part of your year-end or tax-time schedule. And check your credit score well in advance of applying for a loan or mortage, so you have a few months or more to improve it.

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Wednesday, October 7, 2015
1. Dr. Robert Califf, a former Duke University cardiologist whom President Obama nominated to lead the FDA, has asked that his name be taken off a series of scientific papers he coauthored that question the FDA's oversight of clinical trials, reported The Boston Globe. The research was published in the October issue of Clinical Trials. Califf completed the series before he joined the FDA at the start of this year.
2. Express Scripts' plan to cover both Sanofi's and Regeneron's Praluent and Amgen's Repatha will save money for the employers it works with, but spending on the medications could still approach new drug records, Forbes reported. While Express Scripts contends that its deal for Praluent and Repatha will control costs, Forbes uses Express Scripts' estimate of the $750 million it plans to spend on the drugs in 2016 indicates the therapies will still generate $7.5 billion in sales in 2016, approaching the record levels Gilead Sciences achieved with Sovaldi and higher than other projections for the two new PCSK9 inhibitors.
3. The FDA put on hold a clinical trial for Advaxis's experimental cancer drug, axalimogene filolisbac, after a patient died during a mid-stage trial for the medication, Reuters reported. The drugmaker said the drug played no role in the death of the patient, who was undergoing treatment for cervical cancer. The drug was being tested on patients with human papillomavirus-associated cancers.
4. Benzodiazepines, which are commonly used to treat psychiatric disorders, also can increase the likelihood of developing dementia, so their use with those 65 years old and older should be limited, according to a study from the American College of Osteopathic Neurologists and Psychiatrists, reported Medical Daily. These drugs include Valium, Ativan, Klonopin and Xanax.
5. Increasing concerns about possible federal regulation of drug pricing is pushing biotech and pharmaceutical stock prices lower, reported Bloomberg Business. As Democratic presidential candidates focused on the issue of drug pricing in recent weeks, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index has fallen for 11 of the past 15 trading days. The threat of future regulation also could cool the pharma appetite for acquisitions.

Salted Fish White Bee Hoon
I was looking for dinner options just before going for a night meeting and I chanced upon this interesting dish at a coffee shop zi char stall. I usually get comfort foods like san lou mee fen but this one looks delightfully delicious.
There are some foods that you just know the combination of the key ingredients would work out nicely. This is one of those dishes. 咸鱼白米粉 or Salted Fish White Bee Hoon, it took them a while to prepare the stir fried noodles. What I thought was really interesting was it wasnt oily, the vercellini noodles were fairly soft and not clumpy and the ingredient portions were just simply excellent.
It was cooked by a master chef for sure.
I enjoyed the noodles thoroughly. Located at a inconspicuous coffee shop at Block 631 Bedok Reservoir road, the zi char stall was like any that you would find in heartland Singapore but the skills that took to fry up this dish was amazing. Try it.

Amanda Seyfried is set to make her comeback to the small screen, after landing a role in Showtime's revival of "Twin Peaks."
According to TVLine, Amanda Seyfried will be playing a new character not found in the 1990s version, but details about the role are being kept hush-hush. What's confirmed though, is that the role is somewhat "pivotal" as she was booked for multiple episodes.
Amanda Seyfried had her break on TV, becoming a series regular on "As the World Turns" from 1999 to 2001. She then landed a recurring role as Lilly Kane on "Veronica Mars," while lending her voice to characters of "American Dad!" and "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey." Her last gig on the small screen on HBO's "Big Love," where she appeared in 44 episodes, but Amanda has been busy with movies like "Ted 2" and "While We're Young."
The new "Twin Peaks" series will consist of 18 episodes, which all are written by co-creators Mark Frost and David Lynch, who is also set to direct all episodes. Original cast members Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Dana Ashbook and Sherilyn Fenn are all returning to reprise their roles.

Highlands LinksHighlands Links is one of Stanley Thompson's finest works. The 18 hole layout is a testament to the man's genius, capturing the wonderful land forms and increbile scenery of the Atlantic Ocean coastline and the Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
The Cape Breton Highlands Links , opened in 1941, is constantly ranked in the Top 10 Best Courses in Canada and in the Top 100 Best Courses in the World.
Over the past 2 years, Parks Canada, with its dedicated crew, under the guidance of Architect Ian Andrew, have been restoring the golf course to its original old glory. All bunkers have been completely restored to their original shapes and locations. Turf conditions have improved dramatically with a major tree removal program and the green sizes are back to the original shape.
"Now that a rejuvenation effort relying on Thompson's original drawings is nearly complete, its stock on the world getaway market will only rise. We love it." - Vic Williams, Publisher/Executive Editor, GolfGetaways Magazine, Fall 2012.
When you combine the scenery, the people and the golf course layout, you have yourself a recipe for "bragging rights". But we won't, we encourage you to glance at the photos above, read a little of the history and then make a move to book your tee time.

As a class make up names that you think could be included in a novel and put all the names in a hat. Each student should then pick out a name and use that name to develop a character. They should then pair up with another class mate and develop a short dialogue between their two characters.
New Vocab
Ask the students to list ten words from the book they don't know and use these words in a short story.
Guess the Character
Choose one of the characters from the book and think about how he or she would look, walk and act in general. Find some clothes from home and bring them into class.

The Buzz Report
'Star Trek' specialMolly Wood gets inside Industrial Light and Magic to get a sneak peek at the new "Star Trek" movie, and more importantly, a look at Han Solo encased in carbonite. Yeah. They've got some amazing stuff there.
Hi, I'm Molly Wood, and welcome to the Buzz Report � the show about the tech news that everybody�s talking about. This week, it�s Star Trek, Windows 7, and the Kindle. Speaking of which, let�s get to the Gadget of the Week. The Gadget of the Week is the Amazon Kindle DX. It�s the new, much larger version of the Kindle 2, aimed at college students and newspaper readers. Not much different from the standard Kindle, aside from the colossal size, more storage capacity, PDF viewing, and the ability to switch from landscape to portrait mode by rotating it. OH. And did I forget the headline? It costs 489 dollars. I guess they figured once you drop in the word �textbook� you can charge whatever you want. But so � ok. Now there are TWO Kindles, and one�s for newspapers and textbooks and one�s for just regular books? So, like, I�ve got my old Kindle 2 for books, but apparently it�s no good for textbooks or newspaper subscriptions, so I need the new giant Kindle. But neither of those can really surf the Web or anything, so I need a Netbook, too, so I can like, surf and do email. But this can�t make phone calls, so I need my iPhone, which can surf and do email and read books but the screen�s not big enough to do those things all the time. I guess. And anyway, I can�t watch DVDs on any of those or like, use Photoshop or play games, and they don�t have enough storage, so I need this bigger laptop right here, and maybe a desktop if I REALLY need horsepower ... and now I need a way bigger house. And a back brace. Too much, Amazon. Too much. And now for the news. The Windows 7 Release Candidate hit the tubes on Tuesday, with pretty cool new support for streaming media between two Windows 7 enabled computers and some other nifty features. BUT, like most Windows news, it came with a pretty big buzzkill: the XP Mode that�s supposed to make it easier to use older software with Windows 7 � won�t work on a LOT of Intel laptops. Yeah. I mean, it�s probably not a big deal for most people, since there aren�t too many XP-specific apps? But � you know. C�mon, Microsoft. Have a good day, will ya? Ok, in other geek pop news of the week, there�s a certain movie opening that�s got everyone abuzz � and it sent me on a pretty nifty little field trip. Beyond the characterizations, the emotional connections between the characters, you will see something else that I think you have never seen before, in a Star Trek movie, which is visual effects at a quality that it deserves. (music) You have one shot to land on that platform� Oh, ok, I don�t want to do a big Star Trek ad. I mean, whatever, I want to see it. But dudes. You should SEE Industrial Light and Magic! Check it OUT! (music) Also, I wonder if those ILM people feel like Star Traitors. You know they�re owned by LucasFilm, right? Awkward. And finally, I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped CNET TV win a People�s Voice award in this year�s Webbys! I know we nagged you a lot to vote � and you did! You�re awesome! It means a lot to me, personally, and everyone else here at CNET TV. Thank you. I just hope they let me go to the party. And that�s the Buzz Report for this week, everyone. I�m Molly Wood, and thanks for watching.

This group will meet to study and understand Quantitative topics in financial engineering. Typically this group will be working through a chapter each month from a well known book in quantitative finance. However, this group is by no means an academic only group. Some of the group members will form organizations to try out the strategies studied in the real world (By actually pooling capital together and forming an investment club or joint venture). Topics that will be discussed: Volatility, Delta Neutral Hedging, Leverage, Risk Arbitrage, Statistical Arbitrage, Strangles, Straddles, Barrier Options, and other strategies.
ALL levels of quantitative financial engineer or investor wishing to understand will be welcome.
ALL members should be willing to chip in a few bucks each month to help defer the cost of a meeting place, and printing of some handouts, plus coffee.
ALL Members are expected to do some reading and preparation before each meeting.
There is NO NEED to have a Ph.D. some knowledge of Calculus is helpful, but almost all of the concepts can be picked up and understood with just an inquisitive mind. That said, Ph.D.s are more than welcome.
About the meetings, we will meet 1 or 2 times per month depending on needs. The meeting will be about 2 hours long, 50 minutes of a presentation, followed by open discussion/questions, and finally a social period over some coffee.
