Khloe Kardashian's basketball player husband Lamar Odom has been charged with DUI.
The sportsman was pulled over by police on August 30, after he was allegedly caught driving too slowly on a Los Angeles highway.
Odom was unable to complete a field sobriety test, and then refused chemical tests to determine his level of alleged intoxication in custody. His driver's license was subsequently suspended.
Now Odom has been officially charged with driving under the influence. He will be arraigned on September 27, according to TMZ.com.
The criminal charge is the latest drama in Odom's life – his four-year marriage to reality TV star Kardashian has reportedly been rocked by rumors of his substance abuse, which he allegedly attempted to tackle by checking into a rehab facility shortly after his arrest. However, he left the medical center after just one day.
He is also facing a lawsuit from a paparazzo amid claims of assault, conversion and trespass of property relating to a confrontation this summer.

Base Art Co Business Cards
The folks over at Base Art Co do some great work ranging from book covers to responsive web design, though our favorite project is probably these business cards they designed for themselves and sent our way for production. A card comprised of two stocks that we custom duplexed together after printing, the final weight of this card ended up being a sturdy 320# cover. The white side of the card is Crane Lettra Flo White 220# cover stock with hit of tonal letterpress varnish, while the grey is French Durotone Steel Grey 100# cover letterpress printed with a silver ink and white foil. After duplexing and getting trimmed down to their slightly undersized dimensions of 3" x 1.75," a bright yellow edge color was applied, which added a splash of color in addition to hiding the seam of the custom duplex.

The 26ha of Domaine de Villaine are centred in Bouzeron an area first planted to the vine by the monks of Cluny in the middle ages, situated just south of the Cote d'Or and north of Rully. Here the poor soils and limestone-rich slopes are reserved for Bouzeron's speciality, Aligote. The impeccable terroir here shows that given a chance to shine, this is a grape variety that can produce wonderfully characterful, harmonious wines. The Domaine is run by Pierre de Benoist who is the nephew of the Domaine's founder, Aubert de Villaine, and is fiercely committed to producing wines of outstanding quality in as environmentally friendly a way as possible. The Estate has been certified organic since 1986 and Pierre has been making bio-dynamic trials. Yields are low, up to 20% less than the maximum allowed for AOC rules, and picking is by hand at optimal maturity. The heart of the estate lies in the oft-forgotten Aligoté grape. In Bouzeron the Aligotée Doré grape takes centre stage, a variety that is lower-cropping than its more widely-planted cousin Aligoté vert. At Domaine de Villaine it takes pride of place, reserved for the best vineyard sites the prime, steep limestone-rich slopes, and here it shows just how striking the wines can be.
Bourgogne or Burgundy is a wide-ranging generic appellation in eastern France that has been planted with the vine at least since Roman times, the earliest archaeological evidence coming from 2nd Century A.D. The region, now spanning up to 28,000 hectares, owes a lot to the work of Cistercian Monks in the 11th and 12th Centuries, particularly in the Côte d'Or, who were responsible for identifying some of the finest vineyard plots still in existence today. The appellation is large, stretching between the cities of Auxerre in the North and Lyon in the south and includes Chablis, the Côte d'Or (from where hail some of the world's finest examples of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir), the Chalonnais, Maconnais and Beaujolais. Chardonnay is the main white grape planted, though there is still a fair amount of Aligote to be found if an ever decreasing amount, as well as tiny proportions of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Beurrot. For quality reds Pinot Noir is the dominant grape and the only permitted variety for the "Bourgogne Rouge" appellation controlee, there are plantings of Gamay too, though, which can be blended with a minimum one third Pinot Noir to make "Bourgogne Passetoutgrain." There is also the rarely seen Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire, which may include the Pinot Noir, Gamay, César, and Tressot varieties. This appellation also exists for whites, allowing a blend of Chardonnay, Aligoté and Melon de Bourgogne. Being such a big area style can vary enormously: From the steely, minerally white Bourgognes near Chablis to the rounder, more buttery offerings in the Maconnais. Very fine and extremely good value examples of red and white Bourgognes are made by many of the high quality estates in the Côte d'Or, the designated "Bourgogne" vineyards here being on the flatter less well-drained terrain the other side of the RN74 road to the villages and 1er Cru appellations. Some Bourgogne Rosé can also made be made but this is a tiny fraction of the red and white wine production.
Chardonnay is one of the most widely-grown and versatile of all white grape varieties. As a relatively neutral grape, it offers a near transparent map of winemaking style, climate and terroir. It is the ideal grape variety for Burgundy, where it serves to mirror the complex nuances of the myriad of terroirs found in this hallowed land. Chardonnay produces a variety of wines from the minerally and unoaked styles found in Chablis, the fatter nuttier examples in Meursault, to the tropical fruit-driven versions found in the New World. It is also the major grape variety in Champagne, where it produces lively floral wines, namely in the Côte de Blancs. It can be found throughout Europe and the New World thanks to its versatility. As a non-aromatic variety, it has an affinity with oak, whether new or used, French or American.

Staff Blog: Revisiting Lincoln's Cooper Union Address
In this political era in which the leading Republicans of the land stumble over themselves to reject the wisdom of separating church in state in a political context; in which cutting taxes to corporations is the panacea for all that ails us; in which cow-towing to the fanatical wing of the party is the only path to the nomination; it is instructive and nostalgic, perhaps, to want to revisit President Abraham Lincoln's speech on slavery made in the Cooper Union, New York City on Feb. 27, 1860 – 152 years ago.
Here's the link to that famous speech, http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/speeches/cooper.htm, along with a preview of it as written as a preface to the speech.
It's long, but thoroughly rewarding. Enjoy.
In October 1859, Abraham Lincoln accepted an invitation to lecture at Henry Ward Beecher's church in Brooklyn, New York, and chose a political topic which required months of painstaking research. His law partner William Herndon observed, "No former effort in the line of speech-making had cost Lincoln so much time and thought as this one," a remarkable comment considering the previous year's debates with Stephen Douglas.
The carefully crafted speech examined the views of the 39 signers of the Constitution. Lincoln noted that at least 21 of them -- a majority -- believed Congress should control slavery in the territories and not allow it to expand. Thus, the Republican stance of the time was not revolutionary, but similar to the Founding Fathers, and should not alarm Southerners (radicals had threatened to secede if a Republican was elected President).
When Lincoln arrived in New York, the Young Men's Republican Union had assumed sponsorship of the speech and moved its location to the Cooper Institute. The Union's board included members such as Horace Greeley and William Cullen Bryant, who opposed William Seward for the Republican Presidential nomination. Lincoln, as an unannounced presidential aspirant, attracted a capacity crowd of 1,500 curious New Yorkers.
An eyewitness that evening said, "When Lincoln rose to speak, I was greatly disappointed. He was tall, tall, - oh, how tall! and so angular and awkward that I had, for an instant, a feeling of pity for so ungainly a man." However, once Lincoln warmed up, "his face lighted up as with an inward fire; the whole man was transfigured. I forgot his clothes, his personal appearance, and his individual peculiarities. Presently, forgetting myself, I was on my feet like the rest, yelling like a wild Indian, cheering this wonderful man."
Herndon, who knew the speech but was not present, said it was "devoid of all rhetorical imagry." Rather, "it was constructed with a view to accuracy of statement, simplicity of language, and unity of thought. In some respects like a lawyer's brief, it was logical, temperate in tone, powerful - irresistibly driving conviction home to men's reasons and their souls."
The speech electrified Lincoln's hearers and gained him important political support in Seward's home territory. Said a New York writer, "No man ever before made such an impression on his first appeal to a New York audience." After being printed by New York newspapers, the speech was widely circulated as campaign literature.
Easily one of Lincoln's best efforts, it revealed his singular mastery of ideas and issues in a way that justified loyal support. Here we can see him pursuing facts, forming them into meaningful patterns, pressing relentlessly toward his conclusion.
With a deft touch, Lincoln exposed the roots of sectional strife and the inconsistent positions of Senator Stephen Douglas and Chief Justice Roger Taney. He urged fellow Republicans not to capitulate to Southern demands to recognize slavery as being right, but to "stand by our duty, fearlessly and effectively."

There are two ways to view muscle cars:
As immature, childish ways for men to compensate for certain shortcomings or as ferociously fun vehicles designed to take a beating.
I prefer to think of American muscle as falling into the latter category, though I won't deny the possibility of the former. However you view muscle cars, you just can't deny that for over 45 years they have invoked a passion unmatched by any other category of automobile.
And now, as a quick summary of the last four decades, I present my list of the 10 best muscle cars ever. Here they are, in model-year order:
Poor handling. Questionable brakes. Sub-par muscle car? Don't insult the goat, please.
A 428 cubic-inch V8 and some European flair gave the Cougar even more personality than the Mustang it was based on.
1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
The first year of the massively popular and competition-crushing legend.
The 425-hp Hemi engine used in the ol' General Lee weighed almost 1,000 pounds. Yup, just the engine.
1970 Buick GSX
This one makes the list on exclusivity alone. GM built only 678 copies of this 455-cubic-inch V8 coupe.
Its high-revving V8 engine and 0-60 sprints in the 6-second range made this race-ready 'Stang an instant classic.
Sure, it handled like garbage, but the 425-hp 426 Hemi engine ate up quarter-mile strips like nothing else.
Specifically, with the 450-hp 454 engine.
Yes, the 2011 version is better because of the return of the 5.0-liter engine, but notice the 40-year span between cars here? This Mustang is the one that made muscle cool again.
Camaro ups the ante in the rejuvenated muscle era with this 550-hp beast.
Are there any other muscle cars you think deserve a spot on this list?

New London's superintendent search narrows to five
New London - One step closer to choosing a new chief executive for the city's school system, the committee tasked with finding the next superintendent of schools on Tuesday selected a handful of finalists for interviews.
Out of nine applications for the job, the search committee chose five candidates that it intends to interview later this month, Board of Education President Margaret Mary Curtin said Wednesday.
The job posting, which was advertised for about a month, originally garnered interest from 12 candidates.
"Two or three candidates withdrew. I don't know why, perhaps they got another job," Curtin said. "So we reviewed the nine remaining applications and chose five."
The job opening attracted local candidates and well as some from across the country, Curtin said. The candidate pool was close to evenly split between men and women, she said.
When it hired the Nebraska-based consulting firm McPherson & Jacobson to lead the superintendent search instead of the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education, the city's board indicated that it favored a nationwide search.
The vacancy was advertised with the American Association of School Administrators, Education Week magazine and the McPherson & Jacobson website. An announcement of the vacancy was also sent to state school boards and superintendent associations throughout the United States, the firm said.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio, who was appointed to the 14-person search committee, said he has recused himself from reviewing applications to this point because he might know one or two of the candidates.
"I thought it would be best to make sure there wouldn't be a conflict in case someone I know has applied," Finizio said. "If the finalists selected are not any of the people I know, I will gladly meet with all the finalists and have whatever input is appropriate. But until then, I'd rather err on side of ethical safety."
Despite the state's ongoing involvement in the city's school system, state-appointed special master Steven J. Adamowski has not been involved in reviewing applications or selecting finalists, he said. He does plan to be involved as the committee narrows down its short list, however.
When the search committee does pick its recommended candidate, the state's education commissioner, Stefan Pryor, is likely to have some level of oversight as well.
"When we do get to the finalist stage, I anticipate the commissioner, either himself or through a designee, would be involved in vetting that finalist," Adamowski said.
The state's interest, Adamowski said, is to make sure the candidate is someone who is capable of carrying out the Strategic Operating Plan the board approved last year.
"I'm sure that we're not going to recommend anyone who isn't qualified for the job," Curtin said. "I'm confident whoever we recommend will be acceptable to the state."
Last April, the previous school board voted 6-1 to not renew the contract of Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer, whose last day on the job will be June 30.
Once the 14-person search committee selects its preferred candidate, the school board will have to vote to approve hiring that candidate. All seven board members are part of the superintendent search committee.
Curtin said the board could select its next superintendent by early June.

George Galloway speaks for BDS as much as anyone
By Paul Larudee
MP George Galloway is an advocate of and participant in BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) toward Israel.
Anyone who participates in boycotting, divesting from or sanctioning anything that supports Israel is part of BDS. It includes those who defend Israel itself but oppose and boycott Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and it includes those who oppose anything and everything that has to do with Israel, up to and including its very name. The critical Zionist's limited boycott of settlement products helps the rejectionist's total boycott and vice versa.
There is no single standard for BDS, no single person who speaks for the entire movement, no wrong way to practice BDS. No one can be excommunicated or found in violation of the movement's principles. All may participate in their own way. The error is to think that there is a formal apparatus or coalition that speaks for everyone.
To be sure, there is a group calling itself the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC). However, that group appears to speak less for Palestinians and more for western groups, with carefully crafted policies and statements designed to assure that Zionists critical of Israel are not offended by anti-Zionist statements. Thus, for example, this group was quick to issue a disclaimer that Galloway's refusal to debate an Israeli Zionist did not come within its BDS policies. However, this does not mean that Galloway's action is not a form of BDS and that he is not one of many advocates for this form of protest.
The BNC appears to have started in 2005 as a largely Palestinian movement with the issuance of a statement signed by more than 170 Palestinian organizations. However, it has progressively relied less on Palestinian support and more on western collaboration, including that of "soft" Zionists, to the extent that it modified its statement of objectives to comply with their preferences, without consulting its Palestinian board or the signatories of the original statement. We must therefore conclude that the current BNC represents a different constituency today than it did in 2005 and is thus only a portion of the overall movement.
This is not to say that the anachronistically-named BNC is not performing a useful function by organizing a section of the BDS movement. All BDS efforts are welcome. However, it would be a mistake to imagine that it speaks for the entire movement or even for significant number of Palestinians. Truth be told, it is hardly known in Palestine and neighboring countries, although the accomplishments of the BDS movement of which it is a part are celebrated widely. On the other hand, it is rare for Palestinians in the Middle East to hear about those achievements through the BNC.
We all have a responsibility to participate in BDS even if we may have different reasons for doing so. George Galloway has his own standards for participation, and many applaud him and his integrity, while others may disagree. This does not mean that he is acting counter to BDS, but only to a particular group's standards for BDS. No group should claim to set the standard for everyone else, but all should be transparent about who they are, whom they represent and the processes and motivations that drive their statements and policies.

DE037 – Design Elements 037- Raised/Recessed Bevel – Dark
These bevels are developed to work with templates with medium-to-dark backgrounds (use DE038 for light-to-medium backgrounds). When used with photos underneath, you can use any background you like. They are developed in 1/2" increments so that minimal manual sizing is necessary. This is important because consistently sized bevel depths create the best, professional results. There is only one download, which encourages you to easily select the appropriately sized bevels when developing your presentations. Therefore, the download is larger than most other PowerFrameworks downloads, so it may take a little extra time to complete the download.
The bevels can be used to show a recessed field or a raised field. They can also be used as design bevels. Place a photo under the bevel and you get a very finished, polished look (as in the series example). You can also use the recessed and raised bevels to illustrate emptiness and fill (as in the Chart of the Month for September 2008).
If you are using PowerPoint 2007, the bevels can be tinted, as you would tint a photograph. Review the tutorial for more tips on using and formatting these bevels.
This image is provided to show one example of how you could use this framework in a presentation.

Unfortunately, it is also the time when some people head to hospital emergency rooms for treatment of a painful ear infection called swimmer's ear. "Swimmer's ear is one of the most common ear problems seen by ear, nose and throat physicians (otolaryngologists) during the summer months," says Massachusetts Eye and Ear Otologist Steven Rauch, M.D. Otitis Externa Medically known as external otitis, swimmer's ear is an infection of the outer ear canal that occurs mainly during humid, hot weather. It often is initiated by trauma, such as a scratch in the ear canal; or by swimming, as prolonged exposure to water softens the ear canal's skin allowing bacteria to penetrate the skin and cause an infection. Symptoms According to Dr. Rauch, early symptoms of swimmer's ear include: Pain in and around the ear, often aggravated by movements of the jaw In later stages, the infection may cause the ear canal to swell shut, resulting in hearing loss There may be discharge from the ear, and the pain can become excruciating. Treatment Treatment for swimmer's ear can include: Antibiotic ear drops Oral antibiotics Pain medication In some cases, a wick is inserted in the ear canal to help dry out the ear. "Fortunately," says Dr. Rauch, "the majority of cases of swimmer's ear are preventable." Preventing Swimmer's Ear Dr. Rauch offers the following tips for protecting the ear and preventing ear infections: Do not use pens, cotton swabs or other objects to clean the ears or to remove wax from the ear canal. A healthy ear usually is self-cleaning Remove any water from the ear canal after swimming or showering by placing a dropper of rubbing alcohol into each ear. The alcohol works as an antiseptic and dries out the ear canal as it evaporates Use a hair dryer on a low, warm setting to blow warm air into the ear to speed up the water's rate of evaporation "People who are diabetic, have a hole or tube in their eardrum, have undergone ear surgery, or are prone to swimmer's ear must be extra careful to prevent water from entering their ears while they are swimming or showering," Dr. Rauch points out.

PANTONE Certified Printer Program Measures up to Precise Design Demands
Ensures Color Consistency throughout the Print Production Process – From Ink Room to Final Press Sheet
CARLSTADT, N.J., May 9, 2011 – Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT) and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today announced the PANTONE Certified Printer™ Program.
Designers rely on Pantone for consistent color standards – from initial inspiration to final output. The PANTONE Certified Printer Program is a patent-pending, professional certification program developed to ensure accurate PANTONE Solid and Process Color matching throughout the production workflow. The program audits, inspects, analyzes and qualifies the operations of participating offset printers – from intake and ink mixing to print production and customer handling. Each phase of the process is examined and must meet Pantone's stringent quality standards.
"Designers rely on their chosen print provider to accurately reproduce their projects, regardless of the many variables that can affect color reproduction," said Giovanni Marra, director of corporate marketing at Pantone. "By selecting a PANTONE Certified Printer, designers can rest easy knowing the printer has an effective color reproduction process in place with all of the required tools to properly evaluate color and ensure the best match to PANTONE Colors."
"The Pantone Certification Program represents a unique 'all inclusive' approach which enabled us to bundle all our quality programs, including ISO and G7®, into a more structured process," said Lester Samuels, managing director of New Jersey-based Pictorial Offset Corporation, one of the largest privately-owned, commercial printers in North America. "By implementing PANTONE Certification, we've been able to reduce material and labor waste, reduce rework, produce consistent color branding for our clients, increase customer satisfaction and ultimately drive our top line."
"We decided to become part of the PANTONE Certified Printer Program because we truly believe in an engineered color-consistent process," said George Amann, president of UNIMAC Graphics, a diversified graphics communication company serving clients in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. "With PANTONE Certification, we are able to improve the repeatability of our entire color process, whether utilizing PANTONE Solid Colors or traditional four-color process. Color consistency can save a job and a client, so the payback for the certification is immediate. The PANTONE Certification will also assist us in acquiring more business, as it will be a great influencer for savvy supply chain personnel."
The PANTONE Certified Printer Program focuses on measurement, control and communication, and audits each step of the process including prepress, press and ink. Through the use of instruments and ink formulation software, PANTONE Certified Printers can calculate the best possible match to a client's chosen substrate and set realistic expectations by providing a report that indicates how closely a designer can expect to match any given color. Those printing to the GRACoL standard can use PANTONE Color Numbers straight from PANTONE Guides; others can calculate the best four-color build for their press conditions by using PANTONE COLOR MANAGER Software. For more in-depth information about the certification process, please visit www.pantone.com/certifiedprinter.
Pricing and Availability
Printers can become certified as part of the PANTONE Certified Printer Program for U.S. $7,850. This covers the first year of certification, a two-day audit and a one-year PANTONE License. Certification for additional printing plants is $4,100. Recertification is available for U.S. $6,050 per year. Recertification of additional plant sites is U.S. $2,300 per year. There may be additional costs for products, software and equipment calibration necessary to pass audit requirements.

Here's a polished Selena Gomez, arriving at KISS 100 studios in London to promote her new album and tour, carrying a MICHAEL Michael Kors Selma Bag. This black and white version of this Selma sold out quickly, but a chic black and grey colorway is still available for$358 at Neiman Marcus. Fortunately for all of us, you don't have to do double duty as a pop star and actress to add the Selma to your stash.
The Selma bags have been especially popular with celebs over the last few months, we've seen a wide variety of starlets carrying the Selma in Tote, Satchel, and Messenger form. Much earlier in the year, we declared the MICHAEL Michael Kors Selma "the best thing going under $400″, and so many months later, there isn't a single designer bag that can challenge its title.

I deleted a rant from this question because I felt it detracted from the given answer to the specific question. However, beamer is the "new kid on the block" in terms of giving talks (not that new!) and there are many little hints, tips, and howtos that people have found that can make the difference between a nice presentation and a smooth presentation - or make the difference between a downright annoying presentation and a nice presentation!
With the general idea that good communication is 90% of good mathematics, and also with a little bit of self-interest (I might learn something, and if not then hopefully everyone else's beamer talks will improve to the point that I can sit through them without wincing), I'd like to know what those hints and tips are.
These can be both technical (how to get the pauses right after an itemize/enumerate environment) and non-technical (the deleted rant was about not using loads of pauses just because you can).
Please be nice: say "I like it when the up-coming text is greyed out rather than invisible because I like to get a sense of where the talk's going" rather than "It's horrible when you can't read ahead because when the speaker is rambling then there's no way to work out what they're talking about".
Also, inevitably, there will be non-beamer-related stuff. That's fine.

We recommend that you use Rat Glial Precursor Cells right after recovery. After thawing Rat GPCs, expand the cells once to have a two-fold increase in their number, and harvest them to use in your experiments.
Materials needed
- Rat Glial Precursor Cells (Cat. No. N7746-100), stored in liquid nitrogen
- CELLstart substrate or poly-L-ornithine coated, tissue-culture treated flasks, plates, or Petri dishes
- Complete GPC growth medium*, pre-warmed to 37°C *Complete StemPro NSC SFM (Cat. No. A1050901) supplemented with 2 mM GlutaMAX-I (Cat. No. 35050-061) and 10 ng/mL PDGF-AA (Cat. No. PHG0035)
- Disposable, sterile 15-mL conical tubes, pre-rinsed with growth medium
- 37°C water bath
- 37°C incubator with humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2
- Flame-polished and autoclaved glass Pasteur pipettes, or plastic Pasteur pipettes pre-rinsed with growth medium
- Hemacytometer, cell counter and Trypan Blue (Cat. No. 15250-061), LIVE/DEAD Cell Vitality Assay Kit (Cat. No. L34951), or the Countess Automated Cell Counter (Cat. No. C10227)
Note: Rat GPCs readily stick to the plastic used in cell culture dishes and centrifuge tubes. Prior to use, rinse all material that will come in contact with the cells with medium to prevent cells from sticking to the plastic.
- Pre-rinse your culture flasks, plates, or Petri dishes with growth medium to coat the plastic surface. Make sure to pre-rinse any other material that will come in contact with the cells to prevent cells from sticking to the plastic.
- Remove the cells from liquid nitrogen storage, and immediately transfer the cells to a 37°C water bath to prevent crystal formation.
- Quickly thaw the vial of cells by gently swirling it in the 37°C water bath and removing it when the last bit of ice has melted, typically < 2 minutes. Do not submerge the vial completely. Do not thaw the cells for longer than 2 minutes. Do not introduce bubbles into the cell suspension as it decreases cell viability.
- When thawed, transfer the tube containing the cells into the laminar flow hood, and wash the outside of the tube with 70% isopropanol.
- Rinse the pipette tip with media, and very gently transfer the cells into a pre-rinsed 15-mL centrifuge tube.
- Rinse the vial with 1 mL of growth medium, and dropwise add to the cells in the 15-mL centrifuge (one drop per second). Mix by gentle swirling after each drop.
- Slowly add 2 mL of growth medium to the cell solution, and mix gently.
- Determine the viable cell count using your method of choice. The viability of thawed cells should be >50%, and the total live cell number should be >1 x 106.
- Plate the cells at a seeding density of 3 x 104–5 x 104 cells per cm2 on a CELLstart substrate or poly-L-ornithine coated, tissue-culture treated culture dish. If necessary, gently add growth medium to the cells to achieve the desired cell concentration and recount the cells.
- Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 90% humidity and allow cells to adhere for at least 24 hours.
- The next day, replace the medium with an equal volume of fresh, pre-warmed complete growth medium. Change the medium every other day, and passage cells when the culture is 75–90% confluent.

Nathaniel Philbrick, the bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea and Mayflower, brings his prodigious talents to the story of the first major battle of the American Revolution. Boston in 1775 is an island city occupied by British troops after a series of incendiary incidents by patriots who range from sober citizens to thuggish vigilantes. After the Boston Tea Party, British and American soldiers and Massachusetts residents have warily maneuvered around each other until 19 April, when violence finally erupts at Lexington and Concord. In June, however, with the city cut off from supplies by a British blockade and Patriot militia poised in siege, skirmishes give way to outright war in the Battle of Bunker Hill. It would be the bloodiest battle of the Revolution to come, and the point of no return for the rebellious colonists.
Nathaniel Philbrick is the New York Times bestselling author of National Book Award winner In the Heart of the Sea, Pulitzer Prize finalist Mayflower, Sea of Glory, and The Last Stand. He is also the author of Why Read Moby- Dick? and Away Off Shore. He lives on Nantucket.

So no 4 cyl inline engines then. Not convinced about the v6 1.6 either. Should have made it V8 1.6, i'm sure there are some bike engines out there that you could slap a couple together to make a V8, Suzuki did it at the turn of the century. .... Now that would scream :)
They're V8 now, just 2.4L yonks ago they were 3.5L. ... engage old bugger mode.....I miss the V10s and V12s..
personally i think they should bring this back
and moving rear flaps and they should be allowed as many cylinders as they like but just restricted to size
if its broke, fix it......if it ant broke, mod it!

NEW YORK — What's most notable about the lineup for the fall-winter 2013 season at New York Fashion Week, which began Wednesday and includes 300-plus runway shows and presentations over eight days, is how many accessible, everyday-wear brands like Elie Tahari and J. Crew are showing alongside high-end stalwarts Michael Kors, Vera Wang and Ralph Lauren.
Premium denim purveyor J Brand, based in Los Angeles, has been morphing into a more full-fledged lifestyle brand and is a notable newcomer to fashion week, as is L.A.-based contemporary brand Joie. Creative Director and Chief Executive Serge Azria (Max's brother) describes the Joie fall collection as "bohemian and effortless, California cool meets Parisian chic."
Urban prep brand Steven Alan will be hosting its first New York Fashion Week presentation at event hub Lincoln Center, as will Elie Tahari and Trina Turk. And the New York-based Kenneth Cole Collection of urban basics is back on the runway after a seven-year hiatus.
Clearly, New York Fashion Week is no longer just about the 1%. And there are several reasons why, all having to do with the changing ways fashion is consumed and disseminated today.
The democratization of fashion has firmly taken root. The so-called contemporary market — meaning clothing labels that mostly sell items priced $1,000 or less — has been going great guns for several years now, thanks to labels such as Tory Burch, Alexander Wang, Rag & Bone and 3.1 Phillip Lim, which have offered high-fashion looks (as well as haute jeans and T-shirts) at prices that are relatively affordable compared with Ralph Lauren's or Donna Karan's runway collection clothing, which can run into the thousands of dollars.
These young guns have been the stars of fashion weeks in recent seasons, embraced by the self-made bloggers who attend, write, tweet and Instagram about the shows and their celebrity front row guests in real time — and who wear these clothes, which they can more nearly afford. Lower-priced clothes are also shown in magazines from Vogue to People Stylewatch, and they are worn by women — even First Lady Michelle Obama — as a kind of badge of honor in the treasure hunt for affordable fashion. Call it shopping "fashiontainment."
Designers and retailers play into the excitement and appetite for fashion with an endless number of new high-low designer collaborations and launches matching exclusive designers with affordable retailers. The latest, Prabal Gurung's collection for Target, is being celebrated with a carnival-themed bash during New York Fashion Week.
Another reason accessible brands are upping their presence? They have good reason to chase the success of others that have taken a similar path. Take J. Crew for example, which lucked out in September 2011 when Beyoncé and Solange Knowles stopped into the spring collection preview at Lincoln
Center. The celebrity pop-in generated worldwide headlines for the brand, proving its appeal to celebrities and everyday folks alike.
The reality is, these moderately priced labels more closely represent the casualization of our culture and the way people dress now than do the $3,000 polished suits and cocktail dresses that are relics of an era when fashion shows were rarefied, industry insider affairs, and designers dictated trends from the top down.
And there's no better platform for generating buzz than showing at New York Fashion Week.

This is what has come to be known in Knitting circles as a 'recipe'. It's a guide, a 'how to' and is not going to provide you with row by row instructions.
However it is in my very humble opinion a truly wonderful and liberating way to knit!
I believe that if you love to knit for a finished product, then learning to knit around your body (and I am very much still learning!) is an exciting thing to try.
I'm sure all of us have been frustrated with the fit of a shop bought item, or perhaps loved a particular shape, but the colour or fabric wasn't our preference.
That's the real beauty of knitting to me, The endless possibility!
The chance to create something that is completely to my specification, whims and loves.
Of course you could only ever knit from well written patterns, perhaps without modifying a thing, yet still produce wonderful unique items, unlike anything you can buy in a shop.
You only have to look at the yarn substitutions and different colours chosen for a popular project on Ravelry to see the scope available to those of us under the spell of the needles.
Wren is a really simple shape.
The yoke is knitted side to side, then the body is picked up and knitted down.
I think it's a very forgiving way to dip your toe into the world of winging your knitting if it's new to you.
For anyone who's modified or made changes to patterns already this will be nothing extraordinary.
You will need...
The patience to knit a tension square/Gauge swatch. (I was lazy with mine, and was lucky!!! Don't be a fool like me)
Tape measure
Pad and pen
Circular needles (80cm)
Waste yarn or Stitch holder.
Stitch markers.
Yarn (vague I know)
You will need to be able to...
Cast on
Knit (a lot)
Purl (not very often)
Decrease and increase.
Cast/Bind off.
One more thing to bear in mind is your chosen yarn.
I'm fairly sure I'm not the only person who's chosen completely the wrong yarn for a project! ;)
It's very important to (Using your swatch) get to know how your fabric behaves.
The sideways garter stitch will grow when the weight of the body is added.
How much? Well honestly I don't know.
My fabric was quite drapey (as you can see on my shoulders the fabric opens up a little and hangs nicely)
I used 4mm needles for the Garter stitch. 3.75mm for the stocking stitch body and 3mm for the ribbing.
Also the yarns I used, Posh Yarns Sylvia - 50% Merino 50% Silk and Posh Yarns Miranda 70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk and 10% Cashmere, were a factor in how the fabric behaved.
So knit your swatch and give it a gentle tug at either side. Does it stretch a lot? Not much? You will need to be aware of the give when you decide it's time to stop increasing.
I'll explain how I decided I'd done enough in the notes....
The Notes! (Finally)...
Let's assume you've knitted your tension square/gauge swatch to the generally recommended 10x10cm in your preferred yarn/needle combination for a pleasing fabric. Measure your stitches and calculate how many sts you have to 1". Write this down.
I used 4ply/fingering weight yarn and 4mm needles and got a tension of 6sts and 5 rows to 1" in Garter Stitch.
Next decide where you would like your sleeve to hang? Cap? Long? Midway like I chose?
I used the highly technical method of looping the tape measure around my arm at this point.
I knew I wanted it to be loose, so I looped loosely. :)
You (as a far more patient person than I) could do it properly and measure your actual width at the chosen point and then decide on ease.
3" positive? More? Less? Simply multiply this number in inches by your stitches per inch.
So for example (working with my final numbers) if you had an actual arm width of 10" and you wanted 3" of positive ease and your tension/gauge was 6sts to 1" you would multiply the numbers.
So (Even I didn't need a a calculator for this) 6 x 13 = 78....and that's your cast on! (well it was mine)
So I cast on 78 sts, insert your number :)
I then worked straight. Knitting two rows with each yarn then swapping.
For 14 rows.
On row 15 I increased 2 sts.
I K1 then kfb, Knit to last 2 sts, kfb, k1. This is how all increase rows were worked.
I increased in this manner every 6th row a total of 5 times. (Total sts 88) Then (as I'd had my aha this knitwear will grow under it's own weight moment)
I increased in the same way every 12th row for a total of 3 times. (Total sts 94)
Now this was when I decided I'd increased enough. I know this is vague and I am sorry, but I can't see your fabric...or boobs! :)
I have (as you can see) a very understated bust-line! The difference between front and back does not reach double figures (by a long shot)...a source of self consciousness as a teenager that morphed into relief as a knitter! ;) All I can do here is tell you how I determined I'd increased enough
I folded my sleeve in half and balanced it on my shoulder. :/
There I said it!
My lack of technical skills are embarrassing to share. ;}
In my defence I wasn't sure how many sts I'd cast off for the neck at this point. I did eventually decide on 4.
So lets assume you'll be casting off 4sts too If you want a neckline similar to mine. Simply put loops of waste yarn either side of those 4 sts and use those as a way checking the piece is...erm...centred on your shoulder correctly.
The piece now reached around nipple level.
Of course nipples can be all over the place!
So to be slightly more specific, just over 3" from where I wanted the garter stitch to hang to.
This worked out perfectly for me when the body was attached. My garter stitch fitted under my bust just where I wanted it.
When you've used your crazy knitting intuition (or a more logical approach...please tell me) and you have enough sts, is your sleeve long enough?
Mine wasn't so I worked 33 more rows straight before I divided for the neck.
The Neck...
I wanted a wide neck so I decided to make my opening from between boney tips of my shoulders, so my bra straps would be just covered.
On the RS I knitted across 45 sts, cast off 4sts, then (and It gets a little foggy here) I believe I worked to the end, and then across the WS to complete my 2 row stripe. I then slid the sts to the other end of my circs and slid the 45 sts (Without yarns attached) onto a holder. Just my way, you can do it how you prefer of course.
Then I simply knitted straight until the neck was at my preferred Length (width). Broke the yarn, Popped those sts on hold and repeated for the back.
When both are the same length you need to knit across, cable cast on 4 sts and knit the 45 sts that were on hold.
Now you simply have to mirror your first sleeve to finish.
Using k2tog 1 st from either edge in place of the increases.
You'll need to measure around your bust to decide how far to seam each sleeve. I left a little bit of ease.
Seam them!
Okey dokey, Now you need to calculate your stocking stitch section. Again swatch, measure and note. I dropped to 3.75mm needles for this part, as I didn't want as much looseness as in my garter stitch.
I can't tell you my numbers, because I was clearly giddy with confidence at this point (read lazy) and I made no more notes...however my ability to retain random information tells me that I picked up a stitch at the end of every row of garter stitch
(ooh you could calculate this by counting your garter stitch rows before seaming your sleeves to get the correct number! Brainwave...goes for a lie
So I picked up my sts and magically had a good number for my body (measured under bust and multiplied by tension as before)
Then in my darker Sylvia yarn I purled 1 row, then began my 2 row striping as before.
(Pur-ling? What is this purling?)
I added some waist shaping.
Again, you need to measure and calculate. I could have got away with no shaping, but I live for such periods of excitement.
Then it's just knit to the finish line!:)
Only you know where this is, and where to begin (like me) your 2x2 ribbing or the hem of your choice (remember to make sure your numbers work!)
For me the end was simple...I didn't want to break into any more yarn. I made mine from 2 skeins, (to a few yards)
In true vague style I can't say how much yarn you'll need. Your body is unique to you.
...However if you are also a flat chested short-arse, 2 skeins of fingering might well be enough!)
If you have any problems I'll do my best to help, but I think you may have come to realise I'm not really a logical sort of thinker. So be brave cast on and have fun!
Happy Knitting! xxx

wow - superReplyDelete
I have yet to jump into this - as you go knitting prowess but I have wanted to - thank you for the first steps.
Nice work! It looks great on you.ReplyDelete
Love the sweater and love the construction. It is btw completely clear to me and your methods completely scientific.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comments! ♥ReplyDelete
Thank you for this- I love it!ReplyDelete
Will give it a go.
Not very experienced knitter that I am, it makes perfect sense to me :)
This is great, the kind of think you could really personalise with colours and textures. I also like the way you describe the process, not the exact row by row instructions.ReplyDelete
To the queue it goes!
Already commented on Ravelry but again - fab sweater recipe and as I love the yarns you used (and I know all about picking the wrong yarn for a project so happy that this can be avoided here =)) it will be on my soon-to-do list.ReplyDelete
Tried to post this and my computer borked so... try again:ReplyDelete
I just came across your "recipe" (via WhipUp) and I'm reading it (at work) and laughing so hard (that snickering/shoulder shaking laugh you get when you try to be quiet).
"The piece now reached around nipple level.
Of course nipples can be all over the place!"
Ehem. anyway what I meant to say is this: Lovely sweater. I was looking for something similar last summer and never got around to trying to figure it out for myself. I think this spring I'll give it a go using your recipe. Thanks!
Just came across your sweater recipe on Ravelry and I wanted to say how much I LOVE IT! Really enjoyed reading the recipe, too. I was absolutely charmed by your version of measuring and such. Probably because I have been known to do the exact same thing. It was quite refreshing to giggle at a sweater pattern. AND the sweater is simply perfect. Exactly what I was looking for (and in sock yarn too! YAAAAAY!). Thank you for offering it for free!!ReplyDelete
found this in raverly and totally wanna knit it!!ReplyDelete
..Unfortunately the notes to me a compleate jibberish, although very funny with all the jokes :D But seriously, i got lost at the very start. Like, way lost. More lost than at the final episode of LOST. I can't even make any questions to make things clearer, because it was like reading a swedish space rocket manual in an irish accent.
But the problem is NOT the text, itäs me :/ you see i'm not an experienced knitter and english isn't my first or second language..
So i think i'll just look at the picture and try to come up with something similar :D
It sure looks pretty and comfy and i WANT ONE for next summer ^__^
E_L_E_G_A_N_T! I'm trying to make one myself but unluckily not in as noble fibres as you did, I'm working with a multi-coloured cotton blend. Judging by my somewhat fleshy upper arms this is going to take a lot of yarn!ReplyDelete

I often receive calls from the consumer press asking about fitness industry issues. More often than not, their attitudes about the industry are a bit negative and skeptical. Recently, I was interviewed by a reporter about retention efforts at clubs. She was focusing on how some clubs are doing more hand-holding (by offering fitness buddies and calling people when they miss a workout) to attract the deconditioned and to retain members. She asked about the motivation for this. During my explanation, I said that most people in this industry want to help people become more fit. She expressed surprise that altruism was a motivating factor.
Yes, I asserted, this industry is a business, and the facility owners and managers want to turn a profit, but the majority of people who entered this business did so because they enjoyed working out, and they wanted to help other people become healthier. Along the way, they hoped and planned to also make money. I don't know whether or not I convinced her of this, but her skepticism isn't unusual. Often, the press that sticks in the public's mind involves negative stories — abrupt club closings, locker room thefts, and facility owners and/or staff charged with criminal acts all make the news and tend to stay in people's minds. The stories of clubs helping members meet their weight loss goals aren't quite as sensational and, therefore, are easily forgotten.
Unfortunately, the negative stories only perpetuate the view held by some of the public that fitness facility owners just want to take their money and run or that they are just a bunch of muscleheads who should get real jobs. The view that the public holds of our industry is so important today as we face the obesity epidemic head on and welcome in more of the deconditioned.
Just as important, if not more, is the view that the medical community holds of our industry. If we are to beat the health ills of this country, we need to team with the medical community and show them that we are an industry of professionals. For example, a recent study showed that although 75 percent of those with Type 2 diabetes had been advised by their doctors to exercise, less than 40 percent of them actually exercise. What is worse is that the more health issues a person has related to their diabetes (therefore, the most dire cases), the less likely they are to be active. Why don't these people exercise? Probably because doctors stop advising their patients to exercise and don't offer the next logical step, which is planning a safe, effective and individualized workout routine.
That's where clubs can come into play. It's important for the fitness industry to continue to improve its reputation and for fitness facility owners, managers and personal trainers to develop a good rapport with the medical community. By doing so, doctors can recommend that their patients visit an "approved" list of facilities and choose one that best meets their needs and helps them implement a program to cure or alleviate their health issues (especially if insurance plans do more related to reimbursements). Of course, that means that our personal trainers and dietitians must know how to work with this population. By sending your staff to get additional training to work with specialized populations, you elevate the professionalism of your trainers, your club and the industry.
And that's a big step in the right direction for an industry that's come a long way but still has a lot of old perceptions to overcome.

SALISBURY, MD – The York College men's cross country team and senior Tim Hartung (Mohnton, Pa./Governor Mifflin) pulled off a rare three-peat on Saturday at the 2013 Capital Athletic Conference Championship meet at Winter Park Place in Salisbury, MD. Hartung won his third consecutive individual championship and the team captured its third straight conference team title.
Hartung's third championship came in a time of 25:33.10, allowing him to win the title by over 19 seconds. He won the 2012 championship by 22 seconds while his 2011 championship in the snow in York was by a mere .02 seconds over former Spartan teammate Steven Childress. Hartung closes out the cross country portion of his CAC career as a three-time champion and a four-time first team All-CAC honoree. He is now a four-time CAC Runner-of-the-Year having won the 2012 and 13 cross country honors, the 2012 indoor title and the 2013 outdoor award as well.
Hartung was far from being alone as a standout for the Green and White. The fantastic trio of Wil Murray (Cape May Courthouse, N.J./Middle Township), Craig Eppler (Bethlehem, Pa./Northampton), and Connor Simpson (Warminster, Pa./William Tennent) provided York with a three pack at six, seven, and eight that allowed York to capture valuable places. Murray finished sixth with a time of 26:20.40 while Eppler was seventh, a mere .4 seconds back of Murray. Simpson crossed the line less than two seconds later as the Spartans were on their way to a third straight championship.
The All-CAC honors are the first for Murray and Eppler while Simpson is now a two-time all-conference performer.
Junior Michael Stetson (Old Bridge, N.J./Old Bridge) and freshman Matt Hayes (Drexel Hill, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) were also key finishers for the Spartans as the duo both earned second team All-CAC honors. Stetson placed 11th with a time of 26:24.90 while Hayes performed well in his first conference championships, placing 13th with a time of 26:27.20. The All-CAC finish is a first for Stetson as he just missed out earning the honor last fall.
Andrew Ward (Oxford, N.J./Warren Hills Regional) and Aaron Robertson (Mohnton, Pa./Governor Mifflin) both notched top 20 finishes in the 116-runner field. Ward placed 18th with a time of 26:42.70 while Robertson was 20th with a time of 26:52.30.
The Spartans finished the meet with 33 points, outdistancing conference newcomer Christopher Newport by 17 points. Salisbury and Mary Washington finished tied for third at 85 points while Frostburg State finished fifth.
First-year head coach Stephen LoBianco was thrilled to win the Spartans' third straight title and send his seniors out on top.
"For the guys, it all came down to having a race plan, and executing it. We moved up a lot the last two miles and our finishing kicks were outstanding. I am very excited to send my seniors out with a win. It was great to see our top six guys earn All-CAC honors. Now the focus switches to regionals in two weeks and improving on our finish from last year. "
The Spartans now turn their attention to the 2013 Mid-East Regionals at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa. The regionals, hosted by Muhlenberg College, will be held on Saturday, November 16.

As the Paralympic Games commence in just a few short hours in London, Anthropology News takes an anthropological look into the Games.
Emily Cohen creates a compelling photo essay in her recent Anthropology News article On Becoming a Colombian Paralympian. Cohen explains that in a country where landmines are still a commonplace in daily public life, "[t]his photo essay critically explores the visual politics and problems with representation in the competitive arena of disability sports in Columbia."
Here is an excerpt:
Colombia, a country at war for over 50 years, has one of the highest rates of landmine injuries in the world. For decades, landmine victims remained outside of the nation's popular consciousness. Today, landmines and rehabilitation medicine profoundly shape public life. This photo essay critically explores the visual politics and problems with representation in the competitive arena of disability sports in Colombia. I include stills from my fieldwork and ethnographic film depicting soldier amputees who aspire to become star Paralympians and yearn to qualify for the London Olympics. In my fieldwork, soldiers incorporate industrial prosthetics into their bodies through strenuous daily exercises and talk about their dreams of not only walking "properly," but also becoming agile sportsmen. Through interweaving text and video stills, a story unfolds about how commercial medicine, humanitarian activists, disability movements and the military mobilize individual masculine desires to be agile – how they arouse nationalist sentiments around human capacity, sportsmanship, and a "disabled" person's ability to exceed "normal" human capacity. As much as Paralympic events inspire hopes for overcoming the adversities of war, they also displace the daily realities of landmine injury in Colombia that not only affect young agile men who can succeed in the Paralympics, but also many civilians who are women, children, and the elderly.

Nadal shifts focus to Spanish clay after Monte Carlo
Rafael Nadal prepared on Monday to move from one record-setting week to the next as the eight-time Monte Carlo champion settled in as top seed at his home Barcelona Open.sports Updated: Apr 23, 2012 19:48 IST
Rafael Nadal prepared on Monday to move from one record-setting week to the next as the eight-time Monte Carlo champion settled in as top seed at his home Barcelona Open.
Less than 24 hours after crushing Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-1 for his eighth straight trophy on the clay of the principality, Nadal was outlining his chances of claiming a seventh in Barcelona, the hotbed of Spanish tennis.
"Beating the number one is special, but Novak (mourning the loss of his grandfather last week) made more errors than usual and I took advantage of that. I did have a few mistakes with my backhand though," said Nadal, seeded ahead of Andy Murray in the field.
The winner of six of the past seven editions at the Real Club de Tenis will open on Wednesday after a first-round bye, facing the winner from compatriot Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and Belgium's Olivier Rochus.
Nadal said that despite trailing Djokovic in the rankings as the Serb put together a record-setting 2011 season of ten titles including three of the four grand slams, "I had a great season last year.
"But there was a player who did better, and usually sport is fair. And at the (January) Australian Open final, I came close to winning. But it's really only about the titles, not whom you defeat in the final."
Nadal will aim to keep his focus this week.
"I'm only concentrating on playing well here, this is one of the nicest tournaments of the year for me. I'm home and this is very special to me. I'm so comfortable here."
Amid the usual tight security which follows Nadal in Spain, the top seed managed to make his way to the court for a hit-out on the clay to adjust to conditions after coming from his Monte Carlo success.
The Spaniard also repeated his goal of a medal at the summer London Olympics.
"You have to get there well-prepared.
"It's a difficult tournament,because it's only held every four years. And this one is on grass at the All England Club and it's the best three sets.
"There will be no margin for error. Any mistakes will be lethal."
On court, first-round play got underway, with two Frenchmen advancing to the second round.
Benoit Paire beat Czech Lukas Rosol 6-3, 7-5 while Edouard Roger-Vasselin defeated countryman Stephane Robert 6-2, 6-3.
