Several cities in the East Bay and the North Bay zoomed past the 100 degree mark Saturday. The hottest of the hot spots was Walnut Creek which hit 112 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Higher temperatures were concentrated in the Pleasanton and Livermore Valley and the Napa region.
San Jose hit 100, with one report of 102 degrees in the Almaden Valley.
The coastal cities remained cooler, which is typical for the Bay Area.
The mini heatwave was short lived. Temperatures started cooling down Saturday evening as huge bank of fog blanketed the Golden Gate Bridge and headed inland.
Sunday will be significantly cooler in all areas. Thunderstorm warnings have also been issued for Sunday from 11 a.m. through 8 p.m. in inland areas of Sonoma, Napa, Contra Costa, Alameda and Santa Clara counties.
Saturday was a scorcher though. The city of Livermore hit 97 degrees by 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
A morning graduation in Brentwood ended with a string of 911 calls for ambulances after more than a dozen people fell ill because of the heat.
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District received a call just before 10 a.m. on a report that someone had fainted at the Heritage High School graduation.
When crews arrived, they found many more patients. All are expected to recover.
MORE: Graduation becomes near mass casualty location.
The heat made water parks extremely busy. Concord's Water World was packed with families trying to beat the 105 degree heat there.
The National Weather Service had a long list of cities with 100+ degrees.
- Dublin 111
- Napa 111
- Pleasanton 106
- Calistoga 105
- Concord 105
- Walnut Creek 112
- San Ramon 104
- Danville 104
- Livermore 106 (record)
- Moraga 101
- Antioch 101
- Lafayette 100
- San Jose (Cambrian) 100
- San Jose (Almaden Valley) 102
Residents were encouraged to visit air-conditioned public settings such as libraries, shopping centers, senior centers and movie theaters if they do not have air conditioning at home.
Again, the good news is that the temperatures are supposed to drop by Sunday.
Highs are expected to tumble at least 10 degrees as high pressure weakens and a cut off low pressure moves in. This cut off low will increase clouds and patchy fog as well. There only remains a very slight chance of isolated showers/tstorms with this system. It will need to be watched closely since the nature of a "cut off" low pressure is very tricky with no real path. Daytime highs will warm Inland to the upper 70s to low 80s, Bayside lower to middle 70s and at the Coast lower to mid 60s.
Temperatures greater than 110 degrees are also being forecast for this weekend in parts of Southern California including the Inland Empire, Central Valley and southern deserts, prompting state Department of Industrial Relations officials to issue a warning for workers operating outdoors.

Engineering topics are selected to meet these objectives. Introduction to mine planning, design, operations and closure is pursued further in the mining methods course. Students are introduced to detailed mine design in the mine design courses. Engineering sciences underlying the mine planning, design, operation and closure requirements are studied in several basic areas: thermodynamics, electrical circuits, hydraulics, strength of materials, etc. The design experience is capped in the mine feasibility study, the senior capstone design course.
The department maintains a close liaison with the mineral industry. Field excursions for students are arranged during the academic year, and they are required to work in the minerals industry during at least one summer vacation. Some cooperative work study programs are arranged for this purpose.
The Fundamentals of Engineering examination, administered by a State Board of Engineering Registration, must be taken by all mining engineering students during the senior year of study.
The Educational Objectives of the Mining Engineering Program are:
- Graduates will demonstrate the basic knowledge to be able to plan and design mines technically sound, moreover in an ethically, environmentally and socially responsible manner.
- Graduates will be able to apply mathematics, science, and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve practical mining engineering problems.
- Graduates will be prepared for entry-level positions in operations and management of mines.
- Graduates will be able to communicate plans, designs, and operational practices to colleagues, mine managers, regulators, interveners, and the public at large.
- Graduates will demonstrate proficiency in engineering topics such as rock fragmentation, materials handling, mineral processing, mine surveying, ventilation, and resource/reserve estimation.
Students will be assigned a faculty advisor upon entering the program by the department chairman. Changes in faculty advisor can be made at the request of either the student or the faculty member at any time. Advisement is required of all students prior to the start of each semester. It is the student's responsibility to discuss and adhere to the course of study agreed upon with the advisor.

Hollywood tough guy Vin Diesel put his house at risk to complete production on his new film "Riddick."
The star has played anti-hero Richard B. Riddick in two movies – 2000′s "Pitch Black" and 2004′s "The Chronicles of Riddick" – and now he's reprising his role in the franchise's latest movie, due out next month.
However, Diesel has faced a nine-year battle to make the movie, which didn't have the financial backing of its predecessors, forcing the actor to use his own money to complete the project.
He tells The Hollywood Reporter, "I had to leverage my house. If we didn't finish the film, I would be homeless."
But Diesel insists the risk makes the him even more proud of the finished product: "It's a strange and unique sense of gratification, and it's not like any film I've done in the last 10 years."

Michigan posted its best year for the number of venture capital deals, but a comparatively paltry showing in terms of dollar volume.
Sixty-eight deals worth $102.5 million were completed in 2013, according to the PricewaterhouseCoopers/National Venture Capital Association MoneyTree Report based on data from Thomson Reuters. The bulk of those deals came in the fourth quarter, when 26 closed for a total of $58 million.
In 2012, the state did 49 deals worth $238.9 million.
Ann Arbor-based Scio Security Corp., which provides security authentication services to small banks and credit unions, received the state's largest round of funding in the fourth quarter, worth $12.8 million. Leading the round were Grand Rapids-based Benchmark Capital Management and Palo Alto, Calif.-based True Ventures.
Nationally venture capitalists invested $29.4 billion in 3,995 deals during 2013, according to the report. That is a 7 percent increase in dollars and a 4 percent increase in deals compared to 2012. In the fourth quarter, 1,077 deals were closed worth $8.4 billion.
Software companies were the big winners for the year: More than one-third of all VC investing went to those firms, according to the report.
Michigan mimicked that trend with 35 percent of its annual deal flow – or $35.6 million – going to software firms such as Scio Security and Lansing-based Idv Solutions LLC.
Michigan biotech and medical-device makers combined took home another $50 million for the year.
"There is a lot of energy around Internet-specific companies and stronger interest in biotechnology," said Bobby Franklin, president and CEO of NVCA. "We are hearing that this optimism is being fueled by a strong exit market, an improved economy, and as always, innovative entrepreneurs."
Forty-four of the 68 deals done in Michigan fall into the early-stage category, including the $3.5 million Detroit-based Grand Circus Detroit LLC scored from Detroit Venture Partners LLC, Invest Detroit and other investors. Ann Arbor-based Agrisight Inc. also took home $4 million from Huron Venture Partners LLC and Hyde Park Venture Partners LLC.
That's on trend nationally, according to the report.
"Consumers can see how innovation is changing their lives in the Internet and software spaces and are eager to embrace technology at a faster and faster rate," said Mark McCaffrey, global software leader and technology partner at PwC. "Combined with the high ROI being driven by the success of recent IPOs and an active acquisition market, it is no surprise that more venture capital dollars are flowing into early stage software and internet companies."

internationally recognised as a highly successful general insurance and reinsurance group; a builder of shareholders' wealth; a developer of "can do" people; and an organisation that excels in the continuous delivery of new and proven quality products and services. Our Values
increasing the long-term wealth of shareholders; customer satisfaction and retention; employee satisfaction; and integrity.
From our humble beginnings as the North Queensland Insurance company we have grown into a sophisticated provider of general insurance products. Our strength is our diversity. We provide over nine broad categories of general insurance. We provide comprehensive protection for peoples' homes, their lifestyles, their work environments. As a group, QBE works together to improve our customer service, our technology and our products.
QBE Asia Pacific:
We aim to be recognised within the Asia Pacific markets as:
For Asia Pacific companies to thrive in today's challenging business environment, they must be smarter, quicker and more entrepreneurial. They constantly face new business exposures and challenges arising from government regulation and common law.
The margin for error has been squeezed in business today, and managers are confronted by the global trend of increasing accountability and litigation.
They need specialist insurance solutions, backed by technical expertise. Equally as important, they need risk management experts with specialist knowledge who can translate the global into practical solutions at the local level - and then provide the on-the-ground resources when they are needed most.
QBE Asia Pacific Operations has developed considerable strengths to best serve clients. Our history of commitment to the Asia Pacific markets means that we've developed a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Five of our operations were established in the late 1880s, and four more were established in the early 1890s. Building on this strong foundation, we entered four additional markets in the 1970s and 80s, and five more in the 1990s. We now have over 18 QBE operations in various markets throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Each market features different characteristics and dynamics, and local market knowledge can make all the difference for clients. For example, QBE operates in:
In each of these markets, local knowledge is invaluable. And with the internationalisation of trade and business practice, businesses also need an underwriter with specialist insurance expertise, vast global experience and solid financial strength.
Ours is a complex business, and we thrive on that challenge. It is also a dynamic one, with growth driven by an acquisition strategy and a commitment to the professional development of our local teams.
We are a grass roots company that is international in every sense of the word. The combination of local knowledge and specialist expertise provides important benefits to clients and intermediaries. In Asia Pacific, it's the QBE difference!
QBE Insurance Group Limited, is an insurance and reinsurance company publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. Its history dates back over 116 years when the Company was founded in Australia. Since then the Company has grown to have operations in 47 countries with over $2 billion dollars of capital writing in excess of $3 billion dollars in premium.
QBE the Americas operations commenced in 1986 when the QBE Insurance Group established a presence in the U.S. QBE the Americas now conducts business through its five companies, QBE Reinsurance Corporation, QBE Insurance Corporation, QBE Aseguradora de Riesgos del Trabajo S.A.,Argentina, QBE Del Istmo, Panama and QBE Brasil Seguros S.A.
The Lloyd's division comprises QBE's share of the Lloyd's syndicates managed by Limit. The 2001 results are the first to contain a full year of activity from the acquisition of Limit in August 2000. Gross written premium for the Lloyd's division was $2,182 million, compared with $547 million last year. Net earned premium was up 273% to $1,365 million.
Significant progress was made during 2001 towards achieving the objectives set out in last year's annual report. The rationalisation of the structure of the Lloyd's division continued with the merger of syndicates 79 and 2999, the closure of the under-performing syndicate 456 and the disposal of the property and aviation syndicate 318. This resulted in a significant reallocation of QBE's capital towards its best performing Lloyd's syndicates. Our exposure to poor performing US liability business was significantly reduced.
QBE is now the sole capital provider to each of Limit's syndicates, other than syndicate 386 where our share has increased to over 40%. For the 2002 underwriting year, QBE provides 78% of Limit's aggregate capacity compared with 72% in 2001.
The tragic events of 11 September overshadowed the year and the World Trade Center (WTC) loss had a significant impact on performance. In addition, upgrades were made to prior year outstanding claims provisions, principally to reflect adverse development on US liability business seen across the market. These upgrades have been substantially mitigated by reinsurance protections and provisions established on acquisition to allow for deterioration. Consequently, the result for the year largely reflects the performance of the 2001 underwriting year. The claims ratio was 72.9%, compared with 59.4% for last year. The combined operating ratio was 108.6%, compared with 101.1% last year. Excluding the WTC loss, the combined operating ratio would have been 101.0%.
The movement in the commission ratio from 27.3% to 24.6% reflects the change in the mix of business during 2001. The decrease in the expense ratio from 14.4% to 11.1% reflects the synergies and savings delivered by the integration of QBE's former Lloyd's operations with Limit, partly offset by residual post acquisition integration costs during the year.
2001 was a transitional year in the market cycle with the rate increases anticipated at the start of the year not materialising until at least the middle of the year and, in some cases, not until after the impact of 11 September. We are now seeing substantial increases in premium rates across all classes of business underwritten within the Lloyd's division. These rate increases, together with a high level of business retention, new business opportunities and the reallocation of QBE's capital, should ensure profitability for the 2002 underwriting year.
Our objectives for 2002 are to:
take advantage of the dramatically improved rating environment and return all areas of underwriting to strong profitability; seek further rationalisation of the underwriting and operating structure in order to improve capital efficiency and our expense ratio; acquire further capacity on syndicate 386 as it becomes available; and be actively involved in the reforms proposed for the Lloyd's market. Our business at Lloyd's remains highly dependent upon the quality and commitment of our underwriters and their business franchise. I thank them for their efforts and achievements, which have ensured that QBE's Lloyd's division is now ideally positioned to take advantage of the hard market conditions now prevailing at Lloyd's.

James Franco owned up Friday to flirting with a teenaged girl. But is the whole thing just a big hoax?
Franco's Instagram conversation with Lucy Clode, a 17-year-old Scottish tourist visiting New York, triggered a wave of criticism of the "Spring Breakers" star this week, with many finding the 35-year-old's advances creepy, even if they are legal.
His texts also gave rise to speculation that the whole thing is just a big publicity stunt for his upcoming teen movie, "Palo Alto," based on the story collection of the same name he wrote.
In his new movie, Franco plays a football coach who seduces high school student, played by Emma Roberts. Franco Instagrammed a photo of her wearing an "I [heart] James Franco" shirt Wednesday, and the trailer for the film debuted on the heels of Franco's Instagram mini-scandal.
Canada's CBC News wondered Friday about the "uncanny likeness" of the private conversation and the plot of "Palo Alto," wondering whether the apparent leak were intentional.
Media outlets including Jezebel and The Independent weighed in on that possibility, while the Los Angeles Times called out Franco's "penchant for performance art and general weirdness" as a possible clue the exchange could be a stunt.
The speculation came as Franco fessed up to the suspect flirtation on Friday, soon after the details of his conversation with the 17-year-old Scot emerged.
Franco admitted on an appearance on "Live! With Kelly and Michael" Friday morning that he had used "bad judgment."
"I guess I'm just a model of, you know, how social media is tricky," Franco said. "But what I've learned I guess just because I'm new to it is like, you don't know who's on the other end."
But Franco never addressed the movie promo speculation.
Franco's fans hailed him on Twitter and Instagram for setting a good example. Franco responded "THANK U X" to Instagram user longing2b_mrsfranco, who wrote: "It takes a real man to admit to their mistakes ... Your honesty has made me love and admire you even more ..."
At one point in the Instagram exchange that launched the speculation, Franco had asked Lucy questions such as: "Can I see you? You're single? What's the hotel? Should I rent a room?" Lucy responded: "I'll come back when I'm 18."
After the conversation leaked, the actor Instagrammed a photo of himself with "Why are you so thirsty for underage ones" written on it (though the post has since been deleted) and tweeted: "I'm not! I hope parents keep their teens away from me. Thank you."
At one point in the Instagram exchange, Franco asked Lucy for her phone number but used the "#" sign, to which she responded: "What do you mean #"?" — possibly giving credence to the fact that she's from a country that doesn't use the symbol the same way Americans do.
Or is Franco just so smart that he thought of everything?
Franco was born in Palo Alto to parents who met as students at Stanford University. His book "Palo Alto" is a collection of short stories about a group of troubled California teenagers.
The movie is scheduled for release May 9.

Jeff Pantukoff/Whaleman Foundation
Three of the five members of the Washington State Makah Tribe who killed a gray whale in September 2007 have accepted a deal offered by the federal government to plead guilty to violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) in exchange for a recommended sentence of probation and community service. Considering that they each faced up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine if convicted of violating the MMPA, in addition to penalties if found guilty in tribal court, the leniency offered by the government is disturbing.
Ringleader Wayne Johnson and another whaler initially refused the deal, but later agreed to the plea in US District Court. Sentencing of all five in federal court will take place in June. They will also stand trial in tribal court for charges of jeopardizing public safety for discharging a firearm too close to a town and hunting in a marine sanctuary. The tribal charge with the stiffest penalty—violating the tribe's whaling-management plan—was dropped.
This purposeful, cruel and deadly assault on a protected marine mammal merits jail time to provide a deterrent for others who may contemplate engaging in an illegal whale hunt. In light of the brutality of the crime—in which significant suffering was experienced by the stricken whale, who took over 10 hours to die after being struck with four harpoons and shot with 16 bullets—probation and community service are not appropriate penalties.
The Makah tribe is currently prohibited from whaling due to a 2002 lawsuit filed by animal protection organizations that required the government to comprehensively evaluate the environmental impacts of Makah whaling and consider issuing an MMPA waiver to allow tribe members to whale. Nearly 80 years have passed since the Makah have engaged in whaling, with the exception of a single whale killed in a controversial hunt conducted in 1999, before the court terminated the activity.
The five Makah tribe members decided to kill a whale because they were no longer willing to wait for the courts or the federal government to decide whether their tribe is allowed to whale. Many Makah tribe members believe their right to whale is guaranteed in a treaty between the tribe and the US government, though a large number of members oppose efforts to resume whaling. The Makah cannot satisfy the legal criteria to initiate a whaling program. Therefore, the government's efforts to facilitate the tribe's resumption of whaling must be opposed.

NASA Technology
On a December night in 1995, 159 passengers and crewmembers died when American Airlines Flight 965 flew into the side of a mountain while in route to Cali, Colombia. A key factor in the tragedy: The pilots had lost situational awareness in the dark, unfamiliar terrain. They had no idea the plane was approaching a mountain until the ground proximity warning system sounded an alarm only seconds before impact.
The accident was of the kind most common at the time—CFIT, or controlled flight into terrain—says Trey Arthur, research aerospace engineer in the Crew Systems and Aviation Operations Branch at NASA's Langley Research Center. In situations such as bad weather, fog, or nighttime flights, pilots would rely on airspeed, altitude, and other readings to get an accurate sense of location. Miscalculations and rapidly changing conditions could contribute to a fully functioning, in-control airplane flying into the ground.
To improve aviation safety by enhancing pilots' situational awareness even in poor visibility, NASA began exploring the possibilities of synthetic vision—creating a graphical display of the outside terrain on a screen inside the cockpit.
"How do you display a mountain in the cockpit? You have to have a graphics-powered computer, a terrain database you can render, and an accurate navigation solution," says Arthur.
In the mid-1990s, developing GPS technology offered a means for determining an aircraft's position in space with high accuracy, Arthur explains. As the necessary technologies to enable synthetic vision emerged, NASA turned to an industry partner to develop the terrain graphical engine and database for creating the virtual rendering of the outside environment.
In 2003, Langley partnered with TerraMetrics Inc. of Littleton, Colorado, through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop a 3D terrain rendering technology for flight-qualified synthetic vision systems. The company's innovative solution, called TerraBlocks, rendered satellite imagery on top of terrain data to provide the pilot with a virtual view of the environment outside the cockpit window. This kind of rendering vastly improved on typical flat-earth displays by mapping the terrain in three dimensions on a model of the Earth's sphere. The resulting visualization was not only more realistic, but also highly accurate.
To produce its visuals, TerraBlocks needed satellite imagery and terrain data. For the imagery, the company worked with the Scientific Data Purchase program at Stennis Space Center to locate the data it needed, using an archive from NASA's Earth-observing Landsat 7 satellite that proved suitable for use in TerraBlocks. TerraMetrics chose NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) terrain data to provide the 3D element. Since then, NASA has used the TerraBlocks engine for multiple experiments with flight simulators for aircraft and even lunar lander vehicles, the latter using a graphical rendering of the Moon the company created. The lander tests demonstrated the potential for synthetic vision on spacecraft.
"If we do manned missions to asteroids or other destinations, all we need is the data and a good navigational system, and we can essentially draw that world for the pilot," Arthur says.
Through the combined collaboration with the NASA centers, TerraMetrics has developed its NASA-derived innovations into products for helping pilots navigate more safely in the skies, as well as for assisting people in finding their way on the ground.

I never thought I would have high cholesterol: I eat a healthy diet, I exercise regularly, I don't eat a ton of read meat... Wait. Didn't I start eating cheese with much more regularity about 2 years ago? Didn't I stop using egg whites for baking instead using whole eggs in recipes? Didn't I get down with dairy on a serious regular basis 2 years ago too? I was focusing on all the goods things I was feeding my body that I never bothered to check that many of my healthy, organic dairy products were coming with a decent amount of cholesterol. Tricky...
My good cholesterol is actually extremely good, which is due to my love of olive oil and avocados but that bad cholesterol is definitely creeping up on me and I'm still under 30. Dammit... Part of this is also due to family history. I come from a long line of cholesterol factories so I guess it was bound to happen, but on top of all my other restrictions I really REALLY don't want to add another.
Funny enough, eating a low-cholesterol diet isn't that hard to do. Especially if you're cooking for yourself. Partly, you have to read labels (which I happen to be excellent at), check portions, and add more fiber to your diet. Be conscious of what you're putting into your body. You're also supposed to exercise a ton and lose some weight, but we all know I'm working on that.
Switching to egg whites is easy. Eating pudding or yogurt instead of ice cream is doable. I am having issues with the cheese though.
Which brings me to dinner two weeks ago. Noodle-less lasagnas are a favorite of mine. Mostly because when I make a noodle-less lasagna it's a giant unbreaded eggplant parm. Yum... Eggplant parm... But I digress. I so wanted that a few weeks back but I couldn't help but think to myself, You should really limit your cheese now. Maybe a lasagna isn't the best dinner to start with.
Bullshit! my mind cried. When have I EVER let a restriction tell me I can't make something? That's right, the answer is NEVER and so lasagna shall be no exception. I had to skimp. I had to substitute. I had to be frugal with the cheese. But you know what? It wasn't as cheesy, but it was just as tasty. I love the flavor of eggplant and I don't need to drown it in cheese to trick myself into eating it. Know your limitations before you try this. I'm not claiming it tastes just like real lasagna, or that it will fool your neighbors and friends into thinking you got it from a restaurant. This is a lower-cholesterol, lower-fat, noodle-less lasagna. Try it, but it may not be your thing.
Eggplant Lasagna
Lower-Cholesterol, Lower-Fat
Fills a 9x13 dish, half if desired
3 medium/large eggplants, sliced length-wise or in thin circles (I like to keep the skin on, cut in circles)
1 jar (25.5 oz) pasta sauce divided; have another jar on hand if you're a lots-o-sauce person, I'm not
1.5 lbs ground organic dark meat chicken, cooked until browned (optional)
16 oz nonfat cottage cheese (aka fake ricotta)
2 cups part-skim, low-cholesterol mozzarella
2 tbs crushed, packed garlic ( or several raw clove equivalent)
basil, oregano, salt and pepper (or crushed red pepper flakes) to taste
olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Arrange sliced eggplant on large cookie sheets.
Optional: For softer noodle like consistency, brush eggplant with olive oil.
Salt and pepper eggplant.
Cook eggplant 5 minutes on each side.
Remove eggplant from oven.
Take optional ground chicken, which you've browned, and place in a large bowl or skip if you aren't using meat.
In a large bowl, mix cottage cheese, mozzarella, garlic, salt/pepper to taste.
In a greased 9x13 dish, plop a small amount of sauce to lightly coat the bottom of the dish.
Add the rest of the sauce to the cheese mixture, reserving about 2 tsb to dot top on lasagna.
Layering Process:
Layer eggplant slices over the bottom, slightly overlapping to crate the bottom "noodle."
Top lightly with cheese or cheese/meat mixture, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle mixture with basil and oregano to taste.
Camera's on crack. I apologize.
Repeat layering process until you run out of filling and eggplant. This will most likely occur after about 3 layers.
Top the last layer with any remaining filling (I had a bit more filling then eggplant), very lightly sprinkle with a bit of mozzarella, and dot with sauce.
Place covered lasagna in the oven at 350 F for 30 minutes.
Lower temperature to 325 F for another 30 minutes.
Uncover lasagna and cook for 5-15 more minutes depending on how hot your oven gets or how wet your lasagna is.
The cottage cheese is a little trick I learned from a non-fat lasagna that my mom used to make. I'm not a huge fan of it from the tub, but when it's cooked in things it really is a very good fake for ricotta in anything, i.e. GF Italian cheesecake. You'll notice the filling only contains two cheeses (instead of the four types I would normally use: ricotta, asiago, parm, mozzarella) and no egg. Like I said, if you're watching out for your sneaky cholesterol too, you may want to give this a go. You can also use it as a template to pump it up for a full-fat, noodle-less lasagna. As always, I substitute as I see fit; you should do the same.

Stevie Ray Vaughan Plays 'Texas Flood' Live in 1989 (Video Premiere)
In 1989, Stevie Ray Vaughan was part of an all-star blues lineup that played a concert celebrating the inauguration of George H.W. Bush. Vaughan played "Texas Flood," a performance that, like the rest of the show, was considered lost for 20 years before it was rediscovered. Speakeasy today premieres video of Vaughan playing the song with his band, Double Trouble, and brother, Jimmie Vaughan.
Dressed in a tux with a wide-brim hat, Vaughan is peak form, roaring out the lyrics and punctuating them first with meaty guitar fills and then a blinding solo that he plays at the lip of the stage—partly behind his back, where he breaks a string—while the couple of audience members visible look on with jaws agape.
"Texas Flood" is part of 25 minutes of Vaughan songs. The concert also featured performances by Bo Diddley, Dr. John, Sam Moore, Billy Preston, Albert Collins, Percy Sledge, Willie Dixon, Koko Taylor, Carla Thomas, Eddie Floyd, William Bell, Joe Louis Walker, Ronnie Wood and Jimmie Vaughan.
Though the bash was filmed and recorded for broadcast, the tapes were thought lost until they were rediscovered six years ago. The concert was remastered, color-corrected and edited for an hour-long broadcast on PBS in March. The entire two-hour concert will be released May 6 through Shout Factory as "A Celebration of Blues and Soul: The 1989 Presidential Inaugural Concert."
What the video below.

Abstract: The dissertation investigates the decision usefulness of goodwill-accounting numbers. Theory and methodology from value relevance, earnings-management and corporate-governance literature are employed in order to investigate the decision usefulness. The dissertation compares the value relevance of goodwill reported under the impairment-only method (current IFRS) with the value relevance of goodwill reported under alternative accounting methods. It also investigates the extent to which goodwill-impairment losses under IFRS are associated with variables for economic impairment and/or earnings-management incentives. And finally, it investigates whether an estimate of misrepresentation of economic impairment in goodwill is associated with earnings-management incentives and/or corporate-governance mechanisms. The results suggest that the impairment-only method provides accounting numbers that more faithfully depict economic fundamentals as reflected in stock prices. The results also suggest that reported goodwill-impairment losses are not strongly affected by earnings-management incentives. Still, misrepresentation of economic impairment in goodwill does not seem to be constrained by corporate-governance mechanisms. In overall, these findings support the recently implemented impairment-only method under current IFRS URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8398

The Best Marriage Advice? Don't Give Advice
A tension point for many couples: the giving and receiving of advice. Experts say men hear advice from women as scolding while women often hear advice from men as condescending. Elizabeth Bernstein and Dr. Anna Ranieri discuss. Photo: Getty Images.

While the world was watching LeBron & Co. repeat as NBA champions, there was another championship at stake on another Disney/ABC network: a College World Series elimination game between in-state rivals UNC and North Carolina State. Not everyone attending that game in Omaha, it seems, went home happy.
We're not talking about N.C. State players, though we imagine they're disappointed to be knocked out of the tournament by their brothers from Chapel Hill. We mean this young woman, who so effortlessly flipped off ESPN's camera, then took a bop in the face from the gal next to her. Keep livin' large, CWS fans. [ESPN]

1985 GMC K15 & 1967 Ford F100 - Reader-Built Rides
11 Pages, 19 Rigs, No Crud
Over the course of a year we feature vehicles in the pages of 4-Wheel Off-Road that we hope will help you dream up, plan, and build your ideal 4x4. Sometimes the vehicle is a high-dollar work of mechanical and engineering art, and sometimes it's a truck your neighbor down the street built in his barn. We try to cover as broad a spectrum of vehicles as we can, and that means traveling all over the country and searching out rigs that combine radically new technologies with proven off-road concepts in a 4x4 package that works better, looks cooler, or goes further than anything else out on the trail.
We can't discriminate between vehicle brands because a functional 4x4 will prove itself whether it's a GMC or a Scout 800. It's true that certain vehicles make better foundations than others, but ultimately it comes down to what you build and not what you buy. So every year we compile a cross-section of reader-built rigs that have been inspired by trucks, tech, and trends that are brought to you every month in the pages of this magazine. We are happy to say that we have never seen so many capable rigs out on the trail, and bringing you 4x4s worthy of your attention gets easier every year. Flip through the following pages and start planning your next rig or next modification. We can't wait to see it, and more importantly, we can't wait to show it to the rest of the world.
The 4x4 Equivalent Of Your Backyard HammockGMC-Mog
Daniel Tibus built this K15 in Germany and then had it shipped over to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari so we could check it out. We had toyed with the idea of putting Unimog axles under a fullsize truck ourselves, but could never have done as clean an install as this. The portal Unimog axles he runs have a lot of advantages over even the Dana 60, and after Daniel narrows the housings and converts them to disc brakes the only downside is the 7.54: 1 axle ratio, if you consider that a downside.
Vehicle: '85 GMC K15
Owner: Daniel Tibus
Tires: 39.5x15-16.5 Swamper
Wheels: 16.5x9.75 Hummer bead lock
Front Suspension: Radius arm two-link with track bar, Eibach springs, and Koni shocks
Rear Suspension: Three-link wishbone system that uses an upper triangulated arm from a Rover and lower arms from a Mercedes G-Series truck with Eibach springs and Rough Country shocks
Engine: 6.2L GM diesel with 4,800 engine rpm injection pump, 170 bar injectors, and J-code intake manifold
Transmission: 4L80E with Jet TCM
Transfer Case: 2.61:1 NVG218 AMG clocked up for better ground clearance
Front Axle: Killer Axle 404 Unimog portal, 3.54 gears in diff, 2.13:1 geared hubs at knuckles, Unimog selectable locker, and eight-lug hub conversion
Rear Axle: Killer Axle 404 Unimog portal, 3.54 gears in diff, 2.13:1 geared hubs at knuckles, Unimog selectable locker, and eight-lug hub conversion
Advantages: Extreme ground clearance, flexible suspension, and more room than a Jeep
Drawbacks: Early Hummer 218 transfer case has not held up. In Germany a 39-inch Swamper costs $700
If you hate getting covered in mud, and you can't afford to compete in desert racing or rockcrawling, there's still a ton of fun to be had roaming the desert range. Unlike with mud and rocks, you are far more likely to take your daily driver out for a day in the dirt without needing to spend a week in the car wash or the body shop undoing the fun-damage.
These seven rigs are about having fun with as little stress as possible. That's what being a Desert Dog is all about-relaxing and cruising your favorite trails with as little work as possible. These rigs will hardly ever break and always make for good trail companions, and the drivers will always be in good moods.
Anomaly F-100
We found Dave Silverthorne cruising the high desert seas of TDS and immediately asked him where he got the five-lug Dana 60 rear axle that he had swapped into his F-100. When he told us that it was the stock rear axle that came with the truck back in 1967, we were floored. Knowing that he had our attention he pointed out the front Dana 44 axle that uses kingpin open knuckle outers. We didn't even know such an axle existed! He then broke it to us that the truck had no power steering and it was plagued with a single-speed Dana 21 transfer case. Still this truck is capable enough to qualify as a Desert Dog and so unique we just had to show it to you Ford guys out there.
Vehicle: '67 Ford F-100
Owner: Dave Silverthorne
Tires: 32x11.50-15 BFG
Wheels: 15x10 steel
Front Suspension: Radius arms with 4-inch lift Rancho coil springs
Rear Suspension: Rancho 4-inch add-a-leaves
Engine: Ford 302
Transmission: T-18 four-speed
Transfer Case: Dana 21 single speedFront Axle: High-pinion Dana 44 with kingpin knuckles and 3.55 gears
Rear Axle: Dana 60, 3.55 gears, and original limited slip
Advantages: Factory Dana 60 rear axle in a 11/42-ton truck. Guaranteed to initiate bench racing sessions wherever you go
Drawbacks: No low range Dana 21 transfer case means you have your fun in the fast stuff and leave the crawling to somebody else. Kingpin Dana 44? Try finding parts for that axle!
Frankenstein S-10
OK, so there aren't a lot of deserts in Jeff Cramer's home state of Maryland. So what! Jeff's got a tow vehicle and doesn't mind racking up the road miles all over the country in search of off-road challenges for his LT1-powered S-10. Jeff's S-10 buildup plan revolved around mounting the mini-truck body on his old Suburban frame, and when the going gets really tough he ditches the doors for better visibility. Now he has the strength of a fullsize truck in a much more trail (and trailer) friendly package.
Vehicle: '82 S-10 on an '80 Suburban chassis
Owner: Jeff Cramer
Tires: 38x13-16 Super Swamper TSL
Wheels: 16x8 Rockcrawler
Front Suspension: 511/42-inch Skyjacker front springs with Off Road Design extended shackles
Rear Suspension: 64-inch long, 5-inch lift National Springs packs with shackle flip
Engine: '95 LT1 350
Transmission: '87 TH700R4
Transfer Case: NP208
Front Axle: '77 Dana 60, 4.56 gears, ARB air locker
Rear Axle: AAM 14-bolt, 4.56 gears, Detroit Locker
Advantages: Using a Suburban frame means automatic solid axle swap and room for a V-8 and 1-ton drivetrain
Drawbacks: Hood and fenders had to be lengthened 8 inches to fit frame and clear larger radiator.
Long Suburban wheelbase leaves the rear driveshaft too vulnerable in the rocks. Not having doors means bringing a lot of warm clothes
Instant Hero
This K5 is a perfect example of a simple 4x4 formula that anyone can follow to achieve off-road hero status without selling your soul to the local off-road shop. Tim Sprouse's K5 uses the proven SM465 four-speed combined with an Off Road Design Doubler to get all the gear reduction he could ever need, while keeping the stock 4.10 gears that came in his donor K30 axles. After a little spider gear welding out back and a Lock-Right up front the axles were done. The money Tim saved on the axles went toward the crossover steering, high-steer arms, and an AGR Rockram that solved every steering problem Tim ever had.
Vehicle: '74 K5 Blazer
Owner: Tim Sprouse
Tires: 38x12.50-15 Swamper
Wheels: Trudesign modular
Front Suspension: 4-inch-lift leaf springs
Rear Suspension: Factory springs with shackle flip and taller spring perches
Engine: '77 Chevrolet 355
Transmission: SM465
Transfer Case: Off Road Design Doubler
Front Axle: '81 Dana 60, 4.10 gears, and a Lock-Right
Rear Axle: '81 AAM 14-bolt, 4.10 gears, and welded spider gears
Advantages: Rocker panels were completely cut out and replaced with 3x3 tube steel for the ultimate in ground clearance and rocker protection. Rust-Oleum Safety Red paint only costs $35 a gallon so he's not afraid to scratch the bodyDrawbacks: Department of Transportation doesn't like it when you ditch the side marker lights
Poore Man's Tacoma
On the contrary. We're sure that this TRD Tacoma buildup cost Ben Poore quite a bit of money, but it made for such a cool package that we couldn't just keep it to ourselves. Never mind the solid axle swap using a Ford Bronco Dana 44 or the TRD blown V-6 under the hood. Tacomas just look so right on 36-inch Swampers. In a truck this light the full-width Dana 44 front axle will live forever, and is a perfect match for the factory electric locker that came in the rear axle.
Vehicle: '99 Toyota Tacoma TRD
Owner: Ben Poore
Tires: 36x12.50-15 Super Swamper
Wheels: American racing 15x10
Front Suspension: 9-inch lift custom front leaf springs
Rear Suspension: Northwest Off Road extended rear shackle and springs
Engine: 3.4L V-6 with TRD supercharger
Transmission: Stock Tacoma
Transfer Case: Stock Tacoma
Front Axle: High-pinion Dana 44 from a '79 Bronco with 4.88 gears and Lock-Right
Rear Axle: Tacoma rear axle with 4.88 gears and TRD electric locker
Advantages: The bed was bobbed 12 inches for better departure angle, custom solid axle swap with leaf springs, and Scout steering box works so well that Toyota engineers would be jealous
Drawbacks: The local Toyota dealership is sure to go into stomach convulsions if he ever has to bring it in for warranty work
OK, it's got a number on it and coilover shocks, and could be considered a "Competition Crawler" if owner Charlie Copsey hadn't been driving it while on vacation. We like Charlie's ride because it breaks new ground in the small engine, low gears, light weight category and shows everyone that rear-wheel steering can make the difference between wheeling and winching up a trail.
Vehicle: Just-4-Fun custom tube chassis
Owner: Charlie Copsey
Tires: 37x12.50-15 Goodyear MT/R
Wheels: 15x8 Trail Ready bead lock
Front Suspension: King coilovers
Rear Suspension: King coilovers
Engine: '97 supercharged Buick 3800 V-6
Transmission: '87 TH700R4 from an S-10
Transfer Case: NP231
Front Axle: Unimog 404 portal axle with 3.54 gears in diff, 2.13:1 geared hubs at knuckles, and selectable locker
Rear Axle: Unimog 404 portal axle with 3.54 gears in diff, 2.13:1 geared hubs at knuckles, and selectable locker
Advantages: Lightweight blown V-6 gives it the power of a V-8 in a much smaller package. Unimog axles give the ground clearance of 44-inch tires even on 37-inch radials
Drawbacks: Not a lot of storage space in a tube-frame rig, and Charlie's original steering arms weren't up to the strain of hydraulic steering
Almost There
We can't wait to see what Tim Odell's Toyota looks like next year. As it is, Tim's home-brewed solid-axle swap and unfolding front shackle took him some impressive places. Too bad a longer front driveshaft and some lower gears weren't in the budget this year. Still, Tim's Toy showed a lot of potential as he pushed it to its limits-and beyond-at Moab this year.
Vehicle: '91 Toyota pickup
Owner: Tim Odell
Tires: 33x14.50-15 SuperSwamper SSR
Wheels: 15x10 Eagle Alloy
Front Suspension: Straight-axle conversion using 4-inch lift leaf springs
Rear Suspension: Re-arched springs and blocks
Engine: 22RE
Transmission: W56 five-speed
Transfer Case: Geardrive 21-spline
Front Axle: '85 Toyota solid axle with 4.10 gears
Rear Axle: '91 Toyota solid axle with 4.10 gears and welded spider gears
Advantages: A true daily driver/weekend warrior trail Toyota. Homemade fabrication that could work as well as a professional job after a few bugs get worked out
Drawbacks: Homemade front shackles allowed so much droop that the front driveshaft kept pulling apart. Crawl ratio with 4.10 gears and stock transfer case means limited lifespan for Toyota clutches

The nearly 20 percent slide in wholesale gasoline prices is starting to be reflected in prices at the pump.
The national average for regular gasoline has fallen more than a nickel in the past week to $2.83/gallon, according to AAA/OPIS. Tom Kloza, an analyst with OPIS, expects retail gasoline prices to fall to $2.75 by next weekend.
That savings may be a boon for consumers. Kloza says "if you were to project retail prices from current numbers, you would come up with a June/July/August consumer expense in 2010 that would be about $53-billion below what was paid in June/July/August 2008" for gasoline.
So "consumers should have plenty of additional money to spend," Kloza says. "And I suppose you can count that money as energizing other retail segments."

Pacers may get assistance in cold Mohali conditions
The maximum temperature in Mohali these days settles in the range of 16-18 degrees Celsius as against 13-15 Celsius in Dharamsala while the minimum temperatures have been hovering in the range of 6-9 Celsius as against 3-5 Celsius for Dharamsala.
With cold conditions persisting in the northern region for the past several days, fast bowlers are likely to get assistance in the last two ODIs between India and England at Mohali and Dharamsala.
It rained heavily in Mohali and other parts of Punjab in the last few days and though the weather has been dry since yesterday, the temperature has dropped slightly and there is chill in the air.
The officials at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA), which is hosting the January 23 ODI in Mohali, were working with all modern equipments at their disposal to give finishing touches to the ground after the heavy downpour.
Both the teams, who arrived here today by an afternoon flight, will have their practice sessions tomorrow starting with England in the afternoon followed by the Indians in the evening.
A PCA official said they are hoping the weather remains clear, but also seem confident of preparing the ground in case there are further rains.
"We have the best drainage system and modern equipment at our disposal to dry out things in minimum possible time in case of more rains. But we hope that weather holds good and there is plenty of sunshine during the next three days," the official said.
The Chandigarh MeT Department's forecast for the area valid till Wednesday says "days will be mainly sunny with fog or mist during night and morning".
The maximum temperature in Mohali these days settles in the range of 16-18 degrees Celsius as against 13-15 Celsius in Dharamsala while the minimum temperatures have been hovering in the range of 6-9 Celsius as against 3-5 Celsius for Dharamsala.
The official said that traditionally Mohali is known to offer pace and bounce to fast bowlers, but under the present cold conditions, the seamers should get extra movement.
With a day-night encounter pacers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Steve Finn and Jade Dernbach would enjoy bowling on the Mohali track.
While in Dharamsala, the mighty Dhauladhar mountain range has received heavy snowfall during the past few days and the conditions will be cold and to the liking of the pace bowlers.
However, a senior official overseeing the preparations at Dharamsala felt that the cold conditions would not be of a consequence in the day-game.
"There should not be much of a problem. When India played against Pakistan in Delhi recently, the weather conditions were really cold. The conditions in Dharamsala will not be worse," the official said.

The New Haven Register reports (http://bit.ly/T9lc3X ) that Dr. H. Wayne Carver said a funeral home outside Connecticut wants to claim the body of Nancy Lanza, who was shot last Friday by her son shortly before he headed to Sandy Hook Elementary School where he went on a deadly rampage.
Carver said he doesn't know the name of the funeral home, but said police in New Hampshire are fielding questions from the media. Nancy Lanza once lived in New Hampshire and her brother is a retired police captain in Kingston, N.H.
Carver wouldn't say whether Adam Lanza's body remains unclaimed.

Low Issuance Fuels Muni Market Gains Despite Fund Outflows
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Municipal bonds managed to post a pretty strong April, with the broad muni market gaining 1.2% on average, even as municipal bond mutual funds continue to struggle attracting investor cash. Chris Mauro, head of U.S. municipals strategy at RBC, says investors aren't finding muni yields too attractive right now, and they're looking more to high-yield munis as an alternative:
While we had anticipated a pick-up in muni flows once the April 15 tax date had passed, the drop in municipal yields since late March, combined with rich muni/tsy ratios, has dampened investor enthusiasm for the municipal asset class.... This week's fund flow report confirms that low rates continue to encourage investors to move down the credit curve in a search for yield, as municipal high yield funds recorded their 17th straight week of inflows. High yield funds experienced $244 million of net inflows this past week, up slightly from the $234 million in inflows posted in the week ended April 23, 2014. Over the last 17 weeks, high yield muni funds have amassed $3.34 billion in net inflows.
Mauro points out that an unusually low volume of newly issued muni bonds contributed to the market's strong April showing:
The combination of a manageable new issue calendar, constructive municipal fund flows, and minimal selling pressure from retail accounts allowed municipals to outperform Treasuries for the month.... Although municipal supply typically tapers off between the end of Q1 and the start of Q2, April experienced a sharp 18% month/month decline, more than double the average March to April drop of 7.6%. Additionally, April's headline number was also down 40% yr/yr, with total new issue volume struggling to reach $23 billion for the month.

Omaha church mandates training to keep kids safe
An Omaha church is making safety a top priority by instituting a training course for all volunteers working with children or vulnerable adults.
Any parent will tell you trust is hard to earn when you are working with someone else's children.
"I have three children that belong to this church and it's important for me to know that the adults that work and interact with my children have some training," said Alison Alderman-Dreher. She fully supports a program at First United Methodist Church in Omaha that any staff member or volunteer must be cleared criminally and trained in a Safe Sanctuary course.
"It is self-assuring to me that these background checks are done," said Alderman-Dreher.
No one with a criminal past or on any registry is allowed to participate in volunteer work dealing with children at the church. Barren Scroggs is teaching the course for those who do pass that check and want to work with children or vulnerable people.
"After three years, anyone who is working with these populations has to get retrained," said Scroggs. "We're constantly staying up on those things."
As part of the course, participants learn about warning signs to watch for and when to call Child Protective Services. As part of the course, participants learn about warning signs to watch for and when to call Child Protective Services. They learn ways to identify if a child is being abused at home or anywhere else.
"We get to make sure we're brainstorming ideas of how to figure out these conversations," said Scroggs.
First United Methodist Church requires there are always two adults in a room when children are present. Rules like that establish trust with families, something Alison Alderman-Dreher says is hard to come by these days.
"It's important to know as a parent if they're going to get in the car and go on a field trip to a shelter and volunteer that someone's done background checks and knows who these volunteers are."
Safe Sanctuary courses are taught at United Methodist churches across the country, a rule that became mandatory in the mid 1990's.

Not Just Rookies Getting the Job Done in NY
Give some credit to the New York Red Bulls. They won again without Thierry Henry (hamstring), Rafa Marquez (due back from suspension by injured his ankle in training), Stephen Keel (back sprain), Teemu Tainio (right knee sprain) and Wilman Conde (left groin sprain). Somehow they found a way to win starting rookies at three back line positions. I hardly imagined New York picking up three points against the Houston Dynamo with a lineup featuring a 5'5" rookie left back (Connor Lade), a center back with 225 minutes of playing time in the MLS (Tyler Ruthven), a four year pro who never seemed to latch on with D.C. United (Brandon Barklage), and a rookie keeper fresh out of college (Ryan Meara). Admit it, you didn't expect a win either. And even if you did think they would manage to pull out a victory, you had to know it would come in another 1-0 affair.

I never felt safe discussing my work with any health care providers, fearing they would not understand and would judge me and change the way they treated me as a patient.
As a sex worker, I had a range of experiences trading sexual services. It began as a way to support myself in college, and I worked as few hours as possible, to leave time for schoolwork and my other job as an English tutor. But I stayed in the sex industry after school ended, looking for jobs in my area of study and sometimes volunteering for a magazine written by people in the sex trades. I knew other sex workers and felt great community with them, both working and socializing.
But working for others in the industry (rather than for myself) sometimes forced me to compromise my own comfort level or desires to appease their needs. Sometimes I was coerced by managers -- they would pressure me to see clients I didn't want to see or engage in activities I didn't agree to. It's not like you have a Human Resources department when you work at a dungeon or a brothel. Since I was working in an industry that is illegal and also stigmatized, I felt like I didn't have a choice in the matter. That's what I was told when I spoke up. When you don't have the rights that most workers have and you know what you're doing is illegal, it's hard to ask for what you need and just about impossible to file any sort of complaint.
After college, I got involved with a man who also worked in the industry and began working for his company. The relationship was very negative for both my emotional and physical safety. I considered calling the police many times but never did, out of fear of being shamed, not being believed, or even being arrested due to my work. I never saw the police as people who could help me. Many people I have spoken to through Persist have shared similar experiences. Some are also dealing with issues like racism, homophobia, and transphobia, especially when dealing with social services or law enforcement. Others are undocumented or have limited family support.
I was "outed" to my mother, and she told me she would never forgive me. That made me afraid to disclose to most anyone else. I also never felt safe discussing my work with any health care providers, fearing they would not understand and would judge me and change the way they treated me as a patient. Before I began working, I learned that people should be tested every 6 months to a year if they are sexually active, and so I started asking for regular testing from my OB/GYN. He asked me why "a girl like me" needed so much testing. I knew from then on not to go to people who would respond like that, and I became much more careful about what I told doctors about myself.
When I started working, I ended up disclosing less and less about myself, even the sex I was having in my personal life or the kinds of people I was having sex with. I had also heard horror stories from other workers of providers telling them what they did was wrong or disgusting, of health care providers making assumptions about them being messed up because of their work or treating them differently after they knew. And though I always made safe choices at work, I had harder times setting boundaries in my personal life, so I just refrained from being honest about either.
When I got my first full-time job that could support me without sex work, I left the industry, not just because I wasn't fulfilled by the work anymore, but also because I was tired of dealing with the stigma. Hiding what I was doing from those around me was exhausting. Working other jobs while managing a second identity was also draining. Even now that I've left sex work, disclosing my history to those who have not done sex work is still difficult.
Now, as a peer counselor for Persist Health Project, my understanding of myself has changed. I am able to provide care for others in the same way that my friends in the sex trade looked out for me when I was working. I provide information, try to listen without judgment or assumption, and advocate for them when they need someone to have their back.
Persist is a New York City community health partnership of health educators, social workers, nurse practitioners, and human rights advocates, all of whom have either experience in the sex trade or are allies. We connect people in the sex trade to affirming and non-judgmental health care providers. We believe that taking control of our health through education is an act of empowerment and a tool for positive change.
Working as a peer counselor has also allowed me to see the public debates about sex work and sex trafficking in a different way. So much of what we see in the media portrays all sex work as violence against women, so it can be so hard to understand how trafficking -- the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of exploitation -- actually affects sex workers. For example, the media tell us that no people, or at least very few, choose to do sex work -- that they only work in exploitive working conditions. I chose to do sex work, but that doesn't mean I didn't experience coercion. My work with Persist has shown me that the reality is more complex and that people's lives have many layers of truths.
As I guide people toward health care -- whatever that is, based on what they need or want for their lives -- I realize how much all our lives are a mixture of choice, circumstance, and coercion. Health is so much more than just seeing a doctor. It's how we treat each other and how we are able to move in the world. I have seen how health is adversely affected by shame and stigma, which can also lead to negative health outcomes for people of color, LGBT folks, and people with HIV. That's why it's so important to me to create a safe space for all sex work experiences -- positive, negative, or somewhere in between -- to be heard and validated. I am proud to work for an organization that focuses on the actual lives of those we serve and recognizes the diversity of experiences they can have when trading sexual services.

Best Fashion Trends 2012
Best of 2012: Most Talked-About (and Worn) Trend
Among the most talked-about (and worn) trends in 2012 were cap-toe pumps, peplum, wedge sneakers, mixed prints, and wedge sneakers. Cap-toe pumps gained popularity because they provide a fresh take on the classic pump, while wedge sneakers offered up a cool twist on comfort. There was not one fashion-forward street styler that didn't bust out a pair of Isabel Marant's funky-chic sneakers this year. And on the other end of the spectrum, peplum tops, dresses, and skirts swept the fashion and celebrity world, thanks to the peplum's girlie charm, and the fit-and-flare shape paid homage to a more retro-era sensibility. Last but not least, mixing two or more loud prints — polka dots, stripes, florals, geometrics, you name it — made for many fun styling moments throughout the year. Out of all five trends, which do you think was the most prevalent in 2012? Decide below.

Dallas played a long game, and now faces a short week.
And Washington's Robert Griffin III is on his way in for the most appropriate of Thanksgiving games: Cowboys vs. Redskins.
It's safe to say the sigh of relief was brief for Dallas after Sunday's 23-20 overtime win against last-place Cleveland.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the team would enjoy a wild rally against the Browns "for another 10 minutes" before moving on to Thursday's game against Washington, a blowout winner against Philadelphia on Sunday.
It's the first NFL game in Texas for Griffin, the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor.
Dallas has injury issues in the offensive line, and third-string running back Lance Dunbar could be the No. 1 guy if Felix Jones (knee) and DeMarco Murray (foot) can't play.

The Romano-Germanic Museum gives a vivid impression of how Cologne became a city under Roman law and the capital of the imperial province of Lower Germania.
Opened in 1974, the museum was built over the Roman villa discovered here in 1941, preserving its famous Dionysos mosaic, and on the site of the medieval Kaiserpfalz. The museum is a research centre, an archaeological archive for the city and a public collection all in one. Sensational presentation concepts make the Romano-Germanic Museum one of the most visited museums in Germany.
