Marc Jacobs Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection
by Alexander Patino
Ruby Jean. Remember that name. "You're destined for big things little Ruby Jean". It's that kind of name, and fitting for the bleach blonde beauty that opened the Marc Jacobs show. It's possible that her entrance was so picture-perfect, so holistic in mood, so Marc Jacobs at a molecular level that, at least for this editor, the message that would play out for the next seven minutes announced itself entirely in that moment. Dressed in a white T-shirt and barely there shorts, dark eyes and a lazy ponytail, she could've been Edie Sedgwick herself, not giving a fuck, walking out of The Factory after a long night, not stumbling, but owning the territory.
That territory being the Mod-frenzied streets of New York City in the 60s. Jacobs' feat here was transporting the seminally 60s black & white stripe motif, which has had its glory in practically every decade since, and gave it next year's modern polish. Parallel lines of black and white raced across the top of a hip-hugging low slung skirt under a striped blazer cut short enough to expose the midriff. Those particular skirts hung to the hips in a way that was so essentially Jacobs, it's almost impossible to put in words. Almost like a Meryl Streep-ism – you just recognize the touch. Beetlejuice stripes ran packed in varying assortments through skirt-suits, Ruby Jean's tee, down coats and tops in rounded leather strips and came to a swirl in a smashing quartet of maxi dresses in black, red, beige and brown respectively. The patterns of black and white intersecting lines became so minuscule and deeply compacted on a printed overcoat and matching cropped shorts that from afar, the model looked composed of TV static.
It wasn't entirely consistent of all black & white, but that's what most will take away from this show (that's not including the adorable Mickey Mouse intarsia cropped sweater). There was obvious show-stopping merit to the finale dresses, with their pseudo-quasi Dr. Octopus sequined tentacles (the white and gold sequined gown made one wish he had given gold a little more glory), and still, even those couldn't hold a candle to the bad ass-ness that was Jamie Bochert's sequined jumpsuit. If Andy Warhol and his Factory entourage had been at Jacobs' show to see it for themselves, they'd suggest you spend your 15 minutes of fame wearing that.

Update - 10:00 p.m.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Mickey Rooney, a Hollywood legend whose career spanned more than 80 years, has died. He was 93.
Los Angeles Police Commander Andrew Smith said that Rooney was with his family when he died Sunday at his North Hollywood home.
Smith said police took a report but indicated that there was nothing suspicious and it was not a police case and he had no additional details on the circumstances of Rooney's death.
It's likely no one in show business history will ever match Rooney's career for sheer length and variety.
He starred in silent comedy shorts, MGM musicals with Judy Garland, the popular Andy Hardy family films, an Emmy-winning TV drama and a Broadway smash, "Sugar Babies." He was nominated for Oscars four times and won two special Oscars.
He was also known for his colorful private life that included eight marriages.
Original post - 8:47 p.m.
Legendary actor Mickey Rooney has died at age 93 according to entertainment website Variety.com and USA Today.

In this video spliced together by AllThingsD, you'll see Steve Jobs and Andy Rubin talk about location privacy and their platform's philosophy on privacy. It's very interesting to look back on these interviews given what has happened given the iSpy conspiracy.
Here's what Jobs says:
We take privacy extremely seriously. As an example we worry a lot about locations in phones. We worry that some 14 year old is gonna get stalked or something terrible is going to happen because of our phone...Privacy means people know what they're signing up for. In plain English. And repeatedly. That's what it means. I'm an optimist. I believe people are smart, I think some people want to share more data than other people do. Ask them. Ask them every time.

By supporting the "one China" framework, President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) has stripped Taiwanese of their options to decide the nation's future, violating his campaign pledge that the nation's 23 million people would have the power to do so, according to the majority of respondents in a public opinion poll released yesterday.
The survey, conducted by Taiwan Thinktank, showed that most respondents were displeased with Ma's recent handling of cross-strait affairs and major domestic policies, including the proposed 12-year education program and the planned national referendum to decide the fate of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant in Gongliao District (貢寮), New Taipei City (新北市).
The discontent contributed to Ma's low 17.4 percent approval rating, the lowest mark since the think tank began conducting its polls in March last year, while his disapproval rating of 73.3 percent also hit a record high, Hsu Yung-ming (徐永明), convener of the think tank's poll panel, told a news conference.
Comments made by former Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) chairman Wu Poh-hsiung (吳伯雄) in his recent meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) — which highlighted the "one China" framework and the shared ancestry of the countries' peoples — seems to have caused a backlash among Taiwanese, with 61.6 percent of those polled saying the KMT's ideology had stripped the people of their options for the future and 71.5 percent of those polled saying it violated Ma's campaign promise.
"The KMT's statement basically told Taiwanese that they would have only one option in the future: unification," said Tung Li-wen (董立文), an associate professor of the Graduate School of Public Security at Central Police University and a Taiwan Thinktank consultant.
Most of the survey's participants said they are not impressed with how the Ma administration conducted the negotiations with Beijing for the service trade agreement signed on Friday in Shanghai, nor with the proposed establishment of representative offices for the Straits Exchange Foundation in China and for the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Straits in Taiwan.
Since almost all the key details about the service pact were not disclosed, discussed or reviewed before it was signed, more than half — 58.8 percent — of the respondents said the process was inappropriate and 80.4 percent supported the Legislative Yuan reviewing the pact.
With regards to the representative offices, 77.6 percent of those polled said the issue was not urgent, while 69.7 percent of the respondents said that if they are established, they should be authorized with the same functions as foreign consulates.
The survey found that 79.9 percent of the respondents viewed Taiwan and China as different countries, with only 12.1 percent supporting a "one China" structure and 8 percent declining to answer.
On the issue of independence and unification, 8.8 percent of the poll participants said they were pro-unification in general, with 1.2 percent of them saying they favored immediate unification and 7.6 percent preferring maintaining the "status quo" for the time being and unifying in the future.
By contrast, 20.6 percent supported Taiwan independence, including 6.4 percent who called for immediate independence and 14.2 percent who preferred a more gradual independence process.

Tanning Salons
Tanning salons are not regulated.
Effective January 1, 2005 Assembly Bill 2193 prohibits persons under 14 years of age from using tanning devices in salons, tanning parlors, and spas.
California law requires a tanning facility to provide a written warning to customers and post signs warning that tanning beds and sun lamps emit ultraviolet radiation that is similar and sometimes more powerful than the UV radiation emitted by the sun. Tanning facilities that violate this provision of the law are liable for a civil penalty not to exceed $2,500 a day.

This month for our Eat Well, Spend Less series we're talking about emergency preparedness. We were hit fairly hard by Hurricane Irene recently and lost power for 18 hours; others fared much worse.
We were scrambling a little for things like flashlight batteries and warm blankets, but all in all, we didn't suffer much during the outage. Still, it was a fair warning that we could -and should- be better prepared next time. While the Texas fires may not be warming our doorsteps, we never know what we might need to be prepared for. Certainly a few snow days are in my future, although I've got a few months before I have to worry about that!
We've talked about the benefit of a well-stocked pantry, but how much more valuable does it become during a crisis or natural disaster predicament? Suddenly those cans of lentils, tuna and beans are looking particularly fine, wouldn't you say so?
Lentils are one of my favorite staples to have around – for main meals or sides – and today I'm going to show you why.
For the Love of Lentils
There's a permanent place in my pantry for lentils of all kinds – red, French, green and brown. Here are a few of the reasons why:
Versatile. Lentils don't quite the the same reputation for versatility as say, rice or potatoes, but they actually can be served up many ways (five of them I'll share below in the links). Hot, warm or cold? They can be served at any temperature. Soup or salad? Both! Side dish or main? Either.
Frugal. Plain rice or beans may top lentils for cheap eats, but when they replace meat as a protein, such as in the burgers below, that is when you'll start to see them benefit your budget.
Quick-cooking. Lentils do not require a soak in water before cooking and only need about 30 minutes of simmering, making their cooking time hours faster than beans and equal to brown rice. Of course, canned lentils are an instant option, as long as you don't mind sacrificing texture for time.
Healthy. Okay, so we know lentils are packed with protein, but how about full of fiber? Check. High in iron? Yep, and thus a smart choice for vegetarians and folks who don't eat a lot of red meat.
Dry Storage. Honestly, anything I can pack into jars and add to the pantry shelves is a winner in my books. I don't have to worry about combating freezer burn or jostling for fridge space.
Five Ways with Lentils
- Lentil Shepherd's Pie. This vegetarian take on a classic comfort food is popular among all of our family members – and that is saying a lot!
- Simple French Lentil Soup with Bacon. So easy and SO good, especially during the cooler months. This recipe also freezes great.
- Black Bean & Lentil Burgers. Another meatless main dish option that the whole family loves. For ease, this recipe can be made with canned lentils.
- Warm Lentil Salad with Parsley. French lentils studded with sautéed carrot, celery and onion and then tossed in a French-style vinaigrette; from Patent and the Pantry.
- Green Lentil Soup with Coconut Milk and Curry. Our current favorite soup, courtesy of Super Natural Every Day. Recipe below.
This soup is on regular rotation for our lunches, especially now that the cooler weather has arrived. I love it because all of the ingredients are pantry staples, so if the fridge shelves are looking bare, I know I always have a warm, nourishing meal to fall back on with this soup.
The recipe is slightly adapted from Heidi Swanson's Green Lentil Soup with Brown Butter from her latest book, Super Natural Every Day. I highly recommend it!
Coconut Curried Green Lentil SoupPrint Pin Rate
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil or unsalted butter
- 1 Tablespoon good quality curry powder freshly ground
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 large sweet onion chopped
- 5 cups vegetable stock or water
- 1 1/2 cups green lentils rinsed
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Garnish options
- fresh chopped chives
- yogurt
- 1 pinch curry powder
- Melt coconut oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat, then add curry powder, garlic, and onion. Saute for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat, stirring often so the garlic doesn't burn.
- Add vegetable stock and green lentils. Bring soup to a boil, then partially cover and reduce heat. Simmer for between 20 and 50 minutes (or until lentils are tender; mine typically take about 50 minutes).
- Once the lentils have finished cooking, remove soup from the heat and stir in the coconut milk and salt. Puree the soup using an immersion blender or regular blender (in batches if using regular blender) until it is as smooth or as chunky as you prefer.
- Serve immediately with your choice of garnish.

Retrial odds may favor Skakel
In the criminal justice system, it's a winning lottery ticket.
Michael Skakel cashed his in this past week when Connecticut judge Thomas Bishop granted the imprisoned nephew of Robert F. Kennedy a new trial in the 1975 murder of Greenwich teenager Martha Moxley.
So much for the connection to America's most star-crossed political dynasty, one that makes Skakel's family members groan.
Without DNA evidence to prop up a prisoner's claim of unlawful detention, the chances of a habeas corpus action yielding a new trial are said by litigators and scholars of the law to be few and far between.
"They don't like to let go somebody who has been convicted after a jury trial," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Skakel's cousin and a professor at Pace Law School in White Plains, N.Y. "I think Judge Bishop looked at it and recognized that it was a travesty of justice. He had the courage to essentially look at the case."
Skakel, 53, is serving 20 years to life in prison for beating Moxley to death with a golf club in the patrician Belle Haven neighborhood the night before Halloween. Both were 15 at the time.
Denied parole last fall, Skakel sued the state Department of Correction for unlawful imprisonment. He blamed his 2002 conviction on Mickey Sherman, petitioning for a new trial on the grounds that his lawyer was so distracted by fame and back taxes he owed the government that he left many stones unturned.
Bishop agreed, ordering a new trial in a 136-page decision that has jolted the legal community and cable news.
"Statistically, it doesn't happen. Anecdotally, it doesn't happen," said Philip Russell, a Greenwich-based defense attorney and former assistant district attorney in the Bronx, N.Y.
"They are typically a last-ditch effort when a criminal appeal has already been unsuccessfully litigated," Russell said. "The facts of this case, though, were uniquely suited to habeas relief."
That makes Skakel's quest for another day in court all the more remarkable, and, at the same time for previously victorious prosecutors across the country, chilling, because of the potential precedent. Aggrieved prisoners have a blueprint, courtesy of Skakel.
"The conventional wisdom has always been that to have your conviction thrown out because your lawyer was incompetent that lawyer would have had to have practically been asleep at the defense table," said Timothy Dumas, a Greenwich native and author of the 1998 book on the Moxley case, "Greentown: Murder and Mystery in Greenwich, America's Wealthiest Community."
Dumas characterized Bishop's decision as a great surprise that could open the door to new DNA testing of Moxley's clothes from the crime scene.
"He's had 13 years of decisions all going against him, some of them I might add a little questionable, and finally, at the 11th hour, he has the big one go right for him," Dumas said of Skakel.
The State's Attorney's office vowed to appeal Bishop's ruling, which could either be taken up by the Appellate Court or the state Supreme Court.
"It's an open question whether the state's appeal of this does not prevail, will they want to go to trial again?" Dumas said.
Yale Law Professor Steven Duke gives the upper hand to Skakel at this juncture in the legal marathon.
"I think it is unlikely that the Supreme Court of Connecticut will reverse the decision," Duke said. "I also believe, as I have for a very long time, that the evidence against Skakel was very thin and that he is likely innocent."
Greenwich Police Chief James Heavey squelched the possibility that his department will resume its investigation of Moxley's slaying.
"It's not like the case is going to be reopened," Heavey said. "The case is already done."
Heavey said that most of the evidence is in the custody of the State's Attorney's office and that many of the investigators have retired from the department.
"If, in fact, they retry it, we would have to supply the officers and any more documents or any evidence we continue to have in our custody," Heavey said.
Silent when the homicide case finally went to trial in 2002, Skakel took the stand for an hour and three-quarters this April in a remote courtroom northeast of Hartford in Rockville.
Skakel renounced his family ties to the Kennedys, vehemently denying that he once bragged that he would get away with Moxley's slaying because of his famous bloodline.
"It's laughable. No, the Kennedys and the Skakels are much like the Hatfields and McCoys," Skakel said. "We have a feud going way, way back."
Robert Kennedy Jr. echoed his cousin in comments to Greenwich Time Friday.
"The press loves this narrative, a privileged family, the Kennedys -- neither of these guys are Kennedys -- committed murder and got away with it," he said, referring to Michael Skakel and his older brother Thomas, who was also a suspect in the murder.
Kennedy stood by his cousin's pronouncement of his innocence.
"Michael has been told that if he confessed to the crime that he would be able to get paroled and he has refused to do that," he said. "He's not going to say he did something that he didn't do."
Much of Skakel's testimony this spring amounted to a blistering indictment of his former lawyer.
"He said he was a media whore," Skakel testified that Sherman once told him while the two were at the posh Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Fla.
The scope of Skakel's wrongful imprisonment claim was less about proving his innocence and more about demonstrating the incompetence of Sherman, who he said disobeyed his calls to reject a Darien cop and Moxley family acquaintance from becoming jurors.
"It was always, I'm not a lawyer, you don't understand," Skakel said.
Skakel said Sherman admitted so much to him when his lawyer visited him in prison.
"He said, `Don't worry about it. We'll get a new trial. I, quote, F'd up on picking the jury. Next time, we'll pick a better jury,'" Skakel recalled.
Sherman insists that he represented Skakel to the best of his ability, however.
Kennedy said he was not impressed with Sherman's handling of Skakel's defense or his antics when court was not in session.
"Mickey was leaving court every day and getting in a limousine with Dominick Dunne and Mark Fuhrman, who were adversaries, and then going out in the city and partying," Kennedy said of the pair who both penned books on the case.

Satellite Orbital Conjunction Reports Assessing Threatening Encounters in Space
Top 10 Conjunctions by Maximum Probability
Top 10 Conjunctions by Minimum Range
Search SOCRATES
As a service to the satellite operator community, the Center for Space Standards & Innovation (CSSI) now offers SOCRATES—Satellite Orbital Conjunction Reports Assessing Threatening Encounters in Space. This service will provide regular information on pending conjunctions on orbit over the coming week. Because of the potentially catastrophic consequences of such conjunctions going unnoticed, it is hoped that this service will help satellite operators avoid undesired close approaches through advanced mission planning.
Twice each day, CSSI runs a list of all satellite payloads on orbit against a list of all objects on orbit using the catalog of all unclassified NORAD two-line element sets (TLEs) releasable to the public to look for satellite conjunctions over the next seven days. The reason for limiting the search to conjunctions with payloads is to give satellite operators an opportunity to plan—or obtain planning services—to move their satellites out of harm's way (if their satellite is maneuverable), or to take other appropriate measures. Since there currently is no way of knowing which payloads are still active, all payloads are considered.
The runs are made using, STK/CAT—STK's Conjunction Analysis Tools—and the SGP4 propagator in STK. STK/CAT is set to look for all conjunctions which are within 5 km at time of closest approach (TCA) and reports both minimum distance and maximum probability for the conjunction. Because the minimum distance method ignores position covariance information and can lead to an exaggerated assessment of the true risk, CSSI believes the maximum probability method provides a more reasonable (although still conservative) assessment of the true risk. For more details on the maximum probability method, see Dr. Sal Alfano's paper titled "Relating Position Uncertainty to Maximum Conjunction Probability" (2,493,912 bytes).
For more information on SOCRATES, see the papers, briefings, and animations on "Satellite Orbital Conjunction Reports Assessing Threatening Encounters in Space (SOCRATES)" presented at the 15th AAS/AIAA Space Flight Mechanics Conference, the Fourth European Conference on Space Debris, and the Sixth US-Russian Space Surveillance Workshop.
STK/CAT allows users to examine conjunctions of interest in further detail. For those users seeking additional comprehensive, customized, and/or recurring conjunction analyses, CSSI has partnered with 1Earth Research, LLC to provide these services. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com for further details.

We just love winter in the Wallowas! And the Wallowa Valley Community Ice Rink, an outdoor ice rink in nearby Enterprise, is a fun diversion.
Enterprise is only 6 miles away from Joseph Oregon along Highway 82 and the Ice Rink is at the north end of the City Park, just two blocks off of the highway (signs are posted or you can find a map on the Rink's website). The rink is available for free skating plus there are pickup hockey games and even assigned time for hockey and for broomball. The rink is open 9 am to 9 pm daily, weather permitting, with lots of opportunity for free skating time.
The rink is also home to the Baja Canada Hockey League, a group that current features two teams, the Eh's? and the Ruby Peaks. (You've got to have a little bit of Wallowa County humor in the middle of all this).
Because this is an outdoor ice rink staffed by volunteers (and one paid staff person) it's always good to check the schedule as well as call the ice rink's recorded line at 541-263-0715 for current conditions. If you don't own ice skates no worries–skates can be rented Tuesday through Saturday 10 am to 6 pm at Treasures, a local shop in Enterprise (541-426-3873).
If need to know the operating rules of the Enterprise Ice Rink, I was by there today and photographed the locally posted sign. Keep in mind that the phone number for more information is 541-263-0715:

New PhotoMovie Lets Consumers Create and Share Their Favorite Images Set to Music Just in Time for the Holiday Season
Melville, N.Y., October 12, 2010 – Today, Nikon Inc. launched a new version of its image sharing and storage service, my Picturetown, with improved sharing and creativity tools. The site features design, navigation and functionality improvements to enhance the user's overall photo and video experience.
Among the new features is the PhotoMovie function that allows my Picturetown members to create a dynamic slide show of photos that can be combined with text, music, and special effects.

The tool is a unique alternative to posting single pictures and adds the ability to tell a story and share memorable moments through multiple photos, captions, and royalty-free music available on the site.
Other improvements include a redesigned homepage, an enhanced "My Photos" page, and the option to add designs to shared albums. Once logged in, a member's homepage can be decorated with a random assortment of previously uploaded photos for a personal touch that continues to entertain as more photos are uploaded. Members can also access and share their photos stress-free with the improved "My Photos" page, which now lets users view thousands of photos on one page, organize photos with a simple drag-and-drop operation, and share photos through a Facebook uploading function. Members can also personalize their online albums with 18 design options to share with family and friends.
"Nikon's new my Picturetown is providing a new way to enjoy digital photography by helping users easily store, organize, and share memorable moments online," said Lisa Baxt, Nikon's senior manager of marketing communications. "Members will especially enjoy the new PhotoMovie function for sharing vacations, special events, parties, and holiday images with friends and loved ones or their social networks."

Procrastination will lead to failure
Garden centers are showing bulbs of tulips, narcissus, daffodils, hyacinths, grape hyacinths and leucojum, as well as corms of crocuses. Home mailboxes have been filled with the fall catalogs of bulb companies.
You may not be in the mood for planting bulbs, but now is the time. The earlier you plant in the fall, the bigger the flowers will be come spring. This is especially true for tulips. The bigger the bulb, the bigger the flower. What's more, tulips planted in early fall in well-prepared soil will flower for several years.
A Bad Year for Pears and Pecans
Q We have a pecan tree about 15 years old that has borne nuts quite well. This year the nuts are dropping prematurely before forming a good meat. What can I do about it?
A Sorry to say there is nothing you can do. Excess rain earlier in the summer has caused problems with fruit and nut drop. I had a lot of pears on my trees, but most have dropped. This is a problem with deep-rooted trees like pear and pecan and wet soils, which deprives the roots of oxygen. It's not a problem with shallow-rooted species like peach and apple.
Ask Dr. Gouin your questions at [email protected]. All questions will appear in Bay Weekly. Please include your name and address.
Don't wait until the soil cools; bulbs have to undergo a series of cold-temperature changes to flower. Don't wait until the bulbs at the garden centers go on sale, either, for all the large bulbs will be gone. If you wait to order by mail, you may receive sold-out notices rather than bulbs.
Most nurseries that market their bulbs through catalogs ship at the start of the planting season. This means that as soon as you receive your order, you should plant your bulbs.
Every year new varieties of spring flowering bulbs are introduced, and those glossy catalogue photographs make them enticing. If you are more interested in dependability than in spectacular colors, select varieties that appear year after year.
To corner the market, bulb growers and breeders do only limited testing. Many new varieties fail the test of time and disappear from catalogs within a few years. Save a few catalogs so that you can look back.
Most bulbs sold in the U.S. are grown in the Netherlands, though some are grown in Michigan or on the West Coast. Where the bulbs were grown is generally indicated in the catalog.
All bulbs grown outside the country must be free of soil and inspected on site by the U.S. Department of Agriculture before shipping. These measures are taken to prevent the spread of diseases and soil-borne insects.
Get your bulbs now. I'll tell you how to prepare the soil and plant them next week.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--The Birmingham-Southern softball team's conference winning streak swelled to eight games this afternoon with a sweep of the Sewanee Tigers at the BSC Softball Park.
BSC improved to 17-9 overall and 8-2 in SAA play with the sweep of the Friday doubleheader. The Panthers won game one 9-0 and game two 14-2, both in five innings.
In game one of the twin bill, sophomore Bethany Fronk used an impressive pitching performance to silence the Sewanee bats and boost her record to 13-7. Fronk would only surrender two hits in the contest, while fanning 12 Tiger batters.
BSC's offensive effort in game one was just as impressive. The Panthers scored early and often, plating runs in every inning in which they batted. Sophomore Taylor Bassett and freshman Katelyn Murray earned an RBI apiece in the bottom of the first to account for two of the three Panther runs in the inning. Bassett's strong day at the plate continued in the second with a two-run home run that also scored senior Danielle Rucker. Scoring for the Panthers wrapped in the fourth when Fronk's double scored senior Chelsea Fernandez.
The offensive production would continue in the afternoon's second game as once again BSC scored in every inning in which they batted. Sophomore Alyssa Statham's single brought in Bassett to open scoring in the Panther half of the first. Every batter but one reached base for the Panthers in the second as BSC posted eight runs in the frame. Berkopec's triple brought home three Panthers to start the inning's scoring. Singles from Rucker, Statham, and Fronk, accompanied by a triple from freshman pitcher Deanna Creps, brought in the rest of the Panther runs in the inning.
Five more runs in the next two innings would provide the run support Creps would need to earn the victory from the circle and move her record to 4-2 on the season. Creps would only give up two runs and two hits on the afternoon.
The pair of losses drop Sewanee to 5-10 overall and 0-10 in conference action. Tomorrow's doubleheader at noon at BSC Softball Park wraps up the series.

A pioneer of the lesbian and gay rights movement since 1958, Barbara Gittings (1932-2007) is recognized for her daring, innovative strategies and inspired activism. Her groundbreaking work as an advocate for the inclusion of gay and lesbian works in public libraries is her greatest legacy.
Aware that she was "different," Gittings left her home in Wilmington, Delaware, at the age of seventeen. Socially isolated as so many young gay people are, Gittings discovered clues to her identity through library books. She ventured west to San Francisco in 1956 and became involved with the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB), the first known lesbian organization in the United States, which had been founded the previous year. In 1958, DOB encouraged Gittings to establish an East Coast chapter in Philadelphia. She did so and marched in the first gay rights demonstrations in the early 1960s, on the Fourth of July in front of Philadelphia's Independence Hall and later at the Pentagon in Washington.
Barbara Gittings
Gays in Library Land:
The Gay and Lesbian Task Force of the American Library Association: The First Sixteen Years,
Philadelphia, PA: B. Gittings, 1990 Officially, the DOB had opposed picketing. "It was risky, and we were scared. Picketing was not a popular tactic at the time, and our cause seemed outlandish even to most gay people." From 1963 to 1966, Gittings served as editor of the organization's newsletter, the Ladder, and under her leadership it became the first movement publication to champion social protest. Gittings subtitled her publication "A Lesbian Review," and introduced photographs of gay women on the covers—bold innovations in the fight against the pervasive invisibility of gays.
In the 1970s, Gittings was in the forefront of the challenge to the American Psychiatric Association's now discredited view of homosexuality. Though not a librarian, her energy and vision became focused on libraries. From 1971 to 1986 she headed the Gay Task Force of the American Library Association (ALA), the first gay task force in any professional organization. Gittings edited "A Gay Bibliography" and gay reading lists for the task force, and recounted its history in the pamphlet "Gays in Library Land." She "starred" in the first gay kissing booth, created for the 1971 ALA conference in Dallas in order to draw attention to gay literature—and gay librarians. A media uproar ensued at the conference.
From 1998 to 2002, Gittings served on the Hormel Endowment Committee for the Hormel Center. In 2001, following the example of the Hormel Center collection, the Free Library of Philadelphia established a Gay and Lesbian collection of circulating materials at its Independence branch, and named it for Barbara Gittings—an apt tribute. And in 2003, Gittings was recognized for her contributions to libraries and librarianship with the prestigious ALA Honorary Membership, its highest honor.

Lindsey Vonn's quest for five Alpine skiing medals may be in serious jeopardy because of a serious shin injury suffered a week ago in training, the skier revealed Tuesday.
Vonn has had fluid drained from the deep bruise, which she has been told will take "a couple of weeks" to completely heal.
"It's essentially a deep muscle bruise, so I have a contusion. So the muscle is bleeding and it's really deep inside the muscle," the World Cup champion told TODAY's Matt Lauer after arriving in Vancouver Tuesday.
'Excruciatingly painful'
"When I tried my boot on, I was just standing there in the hotel room barely flexing forward, and it was excruciatingly painful. And I've got to try to ski downhill at 75, 80 miles an hour with a lot of forces pushed up against my shin," Vonn said. "I don't know honestly if I'll be able to do it."
The injury could be a crushing blow to the 25-year-old Vonn, who was the best female skier in the world in both 2008 and 2009. Considered the best American female skier ever, she seemed a lock for multiple gold medals and a threat to win all five of her events.
Until the injury, Vonn had been in top form and was coming off a win in her final race before the Olympics.
"I won the last World Cup race. I felt perfectly healthy, I was happy, I was coming in with confidence, and now I have another injury," she told Lauer. "I fought through injuries before and I'm no stranger to that, but it's going be really hard. I just have to try to stay positive and do the best I can, because that's all I can do."
Lauer observed that Vonn comes to the Vancouver Games carrying a lot of pressure. "This has to multiply that pressure," he said.
"Definitely," she said. "That's why I wanted to tell you about it ... I at least want people to know what's going on, and if I don't perform well, why that is. But I can guarantee you that I'm going to do everything I can to be as ready as I can with this injury and still try to ski well."
Playing it by ear
The first training run at Whistler Mountain for the first women's event, the super combined, is Thursday and the race is Sunday. The women's downhill, the premier alpine skiing event, is Wednesday, Feb. 17 with the Super-G on Saturday, Feb. 20. The giant slalom is Feb. 24 and the final event, the slalom, is Feb. 26.
Four years ago in Torino, Vonn's medal hopes were dashed when she suffered a horrific crash in a training run for the downhill. She was evacuated by helicopter to a hospital, where she was diagnosed with a hip injury. Despite the damage and the pain, she entered the race two days later, finishing eighth.
Vonn has a history of coming back from injuries, but she looked concerned as she talked to Lauer about this one. "I'm a lot less sure about this injury than I have been in the past," she said.
She said she feels fine until she puts a boot on and attempts to ski. Vonn said she will show up for the first training run Thursday and see how she feels. Under anti-doping rules, she can take pain killers but is not allowed to get a numbing injection into the injury.
"I feel OK now, but anytime I'm in my boot it's painful, so I don't know. I've got to wait until the first training run on Thursday. I'm going to go up there, I'm going to put my skis on and see how it feels," Vonn told Lauer.
"I have to play it by ear and see how it feels and take it day to day and just keep doing therapy and hope it gets better."

Google Wants Sites to Use Encryption, Except When It Doesn't
Google wants websites to use encryption, to protect themselves and users from hackers. Unless they are e-commerce sites, in which case Google doesn't want them to use encryption too widely.
The dissonance arises from the requirements of Google's "Trusted Stores" program, an effort by the search giant to show users where they can "shop online with confidence."
Here's the rub: According to emails Google sent one merchant, the Trusted Stores program doesn't play nice with encryption.

Working on it.
We have several small KDE related consulting companies that target such small and medium sized businesses already. I think John is largely correct in that we should look to improve even further in this area.
Right now, my day job consists of migrating a small business very much like John was describing ie, one with a proprietary MS Access program that pretty much is the lifeline of the organization. The short term plan is to migrate to Linux now and use a Windows Terminal Server for this Access application. The long term plan includes rewriting the app using the Qt/KDE platform. I'll be sure to write up a description of the experience for KDE enterprise when I'm done.
Small and medium sized businesses represent a huge underappreciated potential base for KDE/Linux. I wonder if there are enough knowledgable KDE/Linux folks up for the task.

Really interesting rad:
>> I haven't actually played with NX yet, this first impression is just <<
So it was by "looking at the code and documentation", huh? So the included flowcharts were not derived from prior art (without acknowledging it)?
By "not having actually played with NX yet", the author reminds me of the proverbial man who never tries it with a woman, but, to make up his judgement, rather looks at her resume ... and the eventual shots published by Playboy or Hustler... ;-)
All in all, the link is not exactly a proof that GNOME is already adopting NX technology. But eventually they will anyways, that's for sure. NX is cool enough for that.
Re: Working on it.
NX does not have a Windows Server. They only have servers for Unix OS's as it relies very heavily on the X protocol. The NX client application can connect to a Windows Terminal Server, however. But that isn't such a big deal as their are plenty of Free Software clients for RDP ie, rdesktop. Besides, the NX client can not use Terminal Server in Application Mode...
So, no, we won't be using NX for that purpose.
Re: Working on it.
## The NX client application can connect to a Windows Terminal Server,
### Besides, the NX client can not use Terminal Server in Application Mode...
Re: Working on it.
"Let me tell you that this *still* is a big deal."
Cool. So, NX makes WTS faster. Not sure how, but ok. Still, it isn't relevant to this situation since we have a nice fast internal LAN.
"What exactly do you mean by this? Are you saying you have actually tested NX now? Can any other Free Software client for RDP use WTS in "Application Mode"?"
Yes, I've tested the server and the client. I haven't tested the client against RDP, but I saw no configuration or anything that led me to believe it could be used with a WTS in application mode. BTW, application mode is a real thing so no reason for the scare quotes. It allows you to connect to an individual application rather than the whole windows desktop. rdesktop does quite well with it and can even get rid of the linux windows borders and allow the windows app to behave as if it was a real application in the linux window manager.
Re: Working on it.
## application mode ... allows you to connect to an individual
How about starting up that NX/NoMachine client then again?
Click "Settings..." --> go to "General" tab --> select Desktop "Windows" --> click "Settings..." --> insert netbios name or IP of WTS --> Select "Run application" (instead of "Run desktop" --> insert name of application (f.e. "notepad")
Re: Working on it.
IIRC, Windows applications are responsible for their own Window Management. This is why, if a Windows app dies, you can't minimise it or move it out of the way. It may be the Win32 libraries doing the management, but its happening in that application's process space - whereas in the X world, the window management and decorations are done by the seperate Window Manager.
How does this relate to RDP in "Application Mode"? Does the remote Windows application also handle window management in this situation?
To be fair (or unfair) - I prefer the X-Windows model. Similar design differences can be seen in other parts of Windows too. Windows applications, even if through their library code, are responsible for a lot more than equivalent UNIX applications which have the shell and the window manager to take care of such things for them. The separation of responsibilities is nicer in UNIX/X.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian court is expected to jail eight anti-Kremlin protesters on Friday, sending a message that President Vladimir Putin will brook no challenge to his rule as Ukraine burns and casting a shadow over the final days of the Sochi Olympics.
The mother of one of the defendants said the violence in Kiev, where an estimated 67 people have been killed in clashes between security forces and anti-government protesters since Tuesday, increased the chance of a harsh verdict in the trial.
The eight defendants are charged with assaulting police during clashes at an anti-Putin rally on May 6, 2012, the day before he was sworn in for a third Kremlin term after weathering the biggest opposition unrest of his rule.
Kremlin foes blamed the police for the violence at the rally on Moscow's Bolotnaya Square, calling it part of a clampdown on dissent that has included restrictive laws and the jailing of critics such as members of punk protest band Pussy Riot.
Putin tacked back before the Olympics, a major prestige project, engineering the release of two women from Pussy Riot and former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who was widely seen as a political prisoner after more than 10 years in jail.
But Kremlin critics and relatives do not expect the defendants in the "Bolotnaya case" to walk free on Friday.
"Almost no one doubts that the verdict will be vindictive and cruel," Khodorkovsky, who was flown out of Russia on the day of his release in December, said in a statement on Thursday. He called it a "show trial".
"This trial is a reprisal and an attempt to frighten people," said Stella Anton, whose 21-year-old son, Denis Lutskevich, was dragged bleeding and shirtless from the protest site. He denies hitting police and said officers beat him up.
Anton said she was worried that, with Russia blaming the violence in Kiev this week on protesters trying to oust Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovich, who is backed by Moscow, the Kremlin would want to send a tough message that violence against police will not be tolerated.
"It seems to me that because of the events in Ukraine, we cannot expect anything good," she said.
Nobody was killed at the 2012 protest and the defendants are not charged with endangering the lives or health of police. One is accused of hitting an officer with an "unidentified hard, yellow object" that his lawyers say was a lemon.
But Putin, a former KGB spy, has said anyone found guilty of attacking police must be punished.
"Unfortunately, I think they'll get real jail sentences," said Boris Nemtsov, an opposition leader. "This trial is absolutely political, the judge is carrying out the Kremlin's instructions."
The Kremlin denies suggestions by its critics that it uses the courts as a political tool.
The defendants - seven men and one woman, most of them in their 20s - are also charged with rioting. By law they could be sentenced to eight years in jail if convicted, though prosecutors have asked for sentences of five to six years.
Prison sentences of any length beyond times served will probably prompt further Western criticism of Putin, already under fire over his role in the Ukraine crisis and over human rights issues such as a new law banning gay "propaganda".
Pussy Riot said that one of the aims of a new video they filmed in Sochi during the Winter Olympics and entitled "Putin will teach you how to love the motherland" was to draw attention to the Bolotnaya defendants.
Anton said she feared no amount of attention would alter her son's fate because she believed "the order has long since been given and everybody knows what the sentence will be."
She said when she last visited her son, they made a pact. "We agreed that whatever the outcome, we will stand tall and hold our heads high. But I don't think I can do it."

Supercoach Spring again, and another baseball season in which many an H&S dad undertakes to manage a Little League team. This year's coaches may want to ask Walter Bone of the Executive Office publications department for a few tips on managing a kids' team, because Walter's coaching record in football last fall is hard to beat. In fact, Walter's midget football league team in Wantagh, Long Island, New York, went through an eight-game season undefeated, untied and unscored on. And it wasn't because the coach had cornered ail the big, mean players, either. The teams in the town league are carefully balanced according to age (eight to ten years], weight (up to eighty-five pounds) and ability (determined by grading the previous season's performance or a complex tryout system for new boys), After the teams are formed the coaches draw their team assignments by lot. Asked for the secret of his coaching success, Walter modestly puts it all down to "getting the boys that like to hit." However, he put the team through seven weeks of pre-season practice, held three weekly workouts during the season, taught his boys about thirty plays and variations, and had his daughter shoot color movies of the games so the boys could see themselves in action. Of course, Walter had one advantage over the opposing coaches, in having his team quarterback living in his own home during the season. Before and after it, too—because the team quarterback was his own son Tommy, age 10, whose running and passing accounted for 44 of the 105 points the team scored. • Help and hope for $16 When Mrs. James Wilson ("Mac" to her friends) was watching television one evening, pictures of undernourished children flashed across the screen accompanying a plea to "adopt' one of them through Foster Parents Plan. "Sad little children always hit me" Mac said, "so I wrote for further information, and we decided to sign up" For the past year and a half. Mac and her husband Jim, partner in the Newark office, have been contributing $16 a month to the care and education of Adalberto Lima, an eight-year-old Brazilian boy. He stays with his family and all the members benefit from the Wilsons' help. "They were all suffering from dysentery," Mac said. "The first thing Foster Parents Plan did was buy them a water purifier. Now the dysentery is cured, so at least they have a healthy child to assist. It's remarkable what they can do with that $16 a month!' The boy can go to school now (schooling isn't free in Brazil]. He is adequately fed. Though the diet is wretched—mostly black beans and rice—they can now afford some fresh vegetables. And he is suitably dressed {formerly he had no shoes] and equipped with school supplies. "Jim says the organization must have good control and be well administered to manage so well" Mac continued. Officials of Foster Parents Plan say the organization spends nearly three dollars of every four in direct aid to the children and their families, Aid is in the form of direct cash grants, household supplies and special programs. About 25 per cent of the total contributions are used for operating three offices (one each in the U.S., Canada and Australia), and administering and promoting the program. It has been in existence since 1937. 20

Resistance is Usefulhttp://flyingblogspot.com/2011/04/resistance-is-useful/
Hello internet. We have something to talk about, and it's been cooking for some time.
We're going to talk about geek culture, about misogyny, about rape culture and rape apologism, about safe-spaces and fear, harassment and assault, about growing-up-geek, about social responsibility, reckoning and resistance.[1]
We're going to talk about my experience of this in a small Australian city, and about making a declaration of intransigence.
I would ask each of my readers to not only read this essay, but put it into practice, and also pass it along. As I said in my comment, the best way to get bullies to STOP, is to name and shame them. But it takes us bystanders to realize that we are the majority, we are the Public, and we can stop this. If we band together, and if we want to.
There is a followup at http://flyingblogspot.com/2011/04/further-dispatches-from-the-perth-geek-underground/ where we learn that Reality is difficult to grasp for some, and the lovely news that MikeeUSA is spewing his woman-hating barf again.

You thought everything was happy with the Mets, didn't you? First place, tons of hitting, all kinds of excitement. Happy times, right? Well, that is, until the team released that ridiculous theme song "Our Team, Our Mets", which is the type of song that would make the Baha Men go, "Man, that's embarrassing." It's from Breakthru Productions, and it very well might be the worst team rally song since "Sweet Shaun Alexander."
As you can probably guess, the Mets bloggers are banging their heads against their desks.
• Faith And Fear In Flushing: "Never before has 74 seconds seemed to last quite so long, has it? You didn't think anything could make you feel more kindly disposed toward 'Chocolate Strawberry' did you?"
• Metsblog: "As my friend, Henry Lee told me, 'I almost began projectile vomiting when I heard it. Teams like the Yankees stick to classy stuff, and it's our Mets that always try these cheesy, lame attempts to be cool. Aside from being a cheesy, lame song, I can't for the life of me figure out who this track appeals to, as it features generic hip-hop beats with a corny, lolly-pop, 80's style rap."
• Transplanted Mets Fan: "I just listened to it. I am embarrassed. I will say no more. Listen for yourself, if you dare."
• New York Observer: "The Mets came out with a new theme song today, which like its title ("Our Team. Our Time.") and the advertising slogan it accompanies ("The Team. The Time. The Mets."), celebrates terminal punctuation. Our question: Can 45,000 fans rap all at the same time?"
We get the hits, HITS! We score the runs, RUNS!

The player can select one of the 10 exotic sportscars (ranging from american musclecars to hot Japanese streetracers to classic italian avant-garde designs) and agressively race against competitors meanwhile surviving the chasing copcars (equiped with loads of heavy weapons) and even a police helicopter.The best feature of "storymodus" (where the entire range of gamemodi is put in) is that it can be played in cooperation modus.This means that if you and your friend both have an internet connection, you can combine your skills and play the entire story-mode together as a team. Beat the cops together, win races together and help each other to make it to the next level. Cooperation modus has been underestimated far too long now, it''s time to re-introduce it!

Cory Schneider practises with Canucks, playoff status uncertain
Goalie finished the season with a 17-9-4 record
Vancouver Canucks goaltender Cory Schneider returned to practice Monday, but his status for the first game of the Stanley Cup quarter-finals against the San Jose Sharks remained uncertain.
Schneider was injured April 22 in a win over Chicago, when he played the whole game without any apparent discomfort. He had not practised with the team since then and missed Vancouver's final two regular-season games, but worked out briefly with an assistant coach Sunday.
Coach Alain Vigneault reiterated that Schneider's status remains day to day.
Many hockey observers had speculated that the 27-year-old netminder from Marblehead, Mass., was not injured. But Schneider said his undisclosed ailment prevented him from playing.
"It wasn't really a rest issue," said Schneider. "It was a day-to-day injury, and I had to take some time off."
Schneider said he knows when he was injured against the Blackhawks, but declined to elaborate. He has been making progress in his recovery and hopes to play against the Sharks at some point.
"I'd love to play in the playoffs," said Schneider. "I've felt good about how I've been playing lately."
Schneider earned victories in his last two regular-season games to finish with a 17-9-4 record. He had an impressive 2.11 goals-against average and five shutouts.
He was ticketed as Vancouver's playoff starter months ago after displacing Roberto Luongo in last spring's first-round playoff loss to the Los Angeles Kings.
Meanwhile, Luongo, who has tried to say and do all the right things all season long since an expected off-season trade did not come through, apologized for ducking reporters after a 7-2 loss in Edmonton on Saturday.
"I was pretty upset and I have to apologize for taking off on you guys," said Luongo. "I was upset with myself. It's tough to get embarrassed like that. It's happened one too many times for me."
Luongo said he needed time to cool off after allowing six third-period goals — including five in a span of three minutes and 35 seconds.
"I was fuming," said Luongo. "It was better for me to sit on the bus than to say some things that I would have regretted."
Luongo would get the start on Wednesday if Schneider is not ready to return.

Move over Justin Timberlake; "Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe has eyes for another pop star, Trey Songz.
"I'm super crushing on Trey Songz," she told PEOPLE. "I used to listen to his music when I worked in an office, and when I met him a few weeks ago, I couldn't contain my excitement."
Instead of playing it cool with the soul singer, Sidibe gushed, "Now that we go to the same events you think I'm cool, right? Do you want to date? We could just get married?"
The Oscar nominated actress, 27, has never been shy about publicly declaring her love, especially about her crush on Timberlake.
When JT first announced her name as a Golden Globe nominee, Sidibe's initial response was not about the nod.
"Oh my God, Justin Timberlake just said my name," she reacted, reported PEOPLE.
So when it comes to men, what speacial quality is it that attracts the promising actress?
"I like smart men," she says, "Smart men with grown up jobs who share my unusually sense of humor."

Welcome to Old Dodge Trucks.
Up until now there has been little on the web for UK owners and enthusiasts of English & American Dodge trucks, especially civilian versions. With this brand new site I hope to bring together owners of all types of older Dodge trucks, primarily those owned in the British Isles, catering for both Military and Civilian types built upto and including the 1950s.
As I'm a fan of the civilian styled Dodges (military types get plenty of coverage on other sites), I'd be happy to feature examples of civvy pattern trucks owned by people outside of the UK too. So far I've had submissions sent in from the owner of a Dodge Fargo in Australia, and a very nice D15 owned in Vienna, Austria.
Despite the huge variety of models that this covers, there are often surprising similarities under the skin, for example many of the Kew Dodges ran Canadian-sourced straight 6 sidevalve engines, also to be found beneath the bonnet (hood!) of many US and Canadian military versions. With spares often being tricky to find, especially this side of the pond, I hope to make this a central place to call by for all UK Dodge truck owners, so whether your chosen Dodge is a pristine show example, or recently dragged up from the bottom of a canal, please get in touch and contribute to the network of owners and their vehicles that I hope to feature at this site.
October 2005
General Updates.
Added 24 October 05
) I've added a forum especially for anyone wanting to discuss pre-1960 Dodge lorries. It is hosted over on my old car website forum, see link in the left hand menu for more details.
Quite a few other updates have been made to this site, catching up with material sent in over the last 2 or 3 months. A second Dodge Kew page has been added, featuring an unusual Kew-based fire appliance in Holland. Another page has also been added, featuring a D15 Canadian Dodge that is receiving a thorough restoration in Malta. I recently received news about a rare 1920s stepside pickup that had been found in a barn, stored since 1930 would you believe. A new page has been added for this '20s truck. Several existing pages have also received some updates and new information: check out the WC51, WC54 and 1930s Dodge pages for more information, including details of this KC shown here!
If you can contribute something to this project please get in touch, all stories of heroic restoration, recollections of Dodges from your youth etc etc all eagerly welcomed! All types of truck welcomed - civilian, military, pickup, panel van, coachbuilt, flatbed, ambulance, tipper, whatever!! and in any condition! So no matter if you are a Hell Drivers wannabee, or WW2 re-enactor with a WC53, please
join the register
. Likewise, if you can help with supplying rare parts, please let me know.
This is the old truck that got me interested in things Dodge-related, built in Detroit 1940, and shipped over to Mulliners in England. They bodied it as a RAF crewbus coach, and was used on wartime airfields in the UK. Post WW2 it was sold off at a dispersal auction and lightly modified for a new civilian life as a racing car transporter, until being laid up in 1955.
On another old vehicles site, I have set up a free service for listing old truck parts either on sale, or wanted for a project. To have a look at this new free resource, you can visit this online

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Nov. 26, 2013 — The exhibition "Memoria: Assisi and the Jews," constructed by St. Bonaventure University's Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts, will travel to New York City where it will take up residence from Dec. 5 through Jan. 10, 2014, at New York University's Kimmel Center for University Life.
The exhibition of historical photos and texts, first presented at the Quick Center in 2007, tells the story of a handful of Catholic clergy, private citizens and even a German officer who orchestrated the dramatic rescue of several hundred Jewish refugees in Assisi, Italy, following the city's German occupation during WWII.
St. Bonaventure will host an opening reception in The Kimmell Center's Stovall Gallery on Dec. 5. Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., S.T.D., university president, will speak about St. Bonaventure's association with the people of Assisi and with Don Aldo Brunacci, who helped hide the refugees.
The exhibition tells the story of the Assisi underground from the perspective of Brunacci, a diocesan priest and canon of the Cathedral of San Ruffino in Assisi, and one of the original architects of the plan to hide the Jews.
After Germany took over central and northern Italy in 1943, Italian Jews from the region descended on Assisi, the city of Saint Francis, for help. Giuseppe Placido Nicolini, bishop of Assisi, directed that assistance be given the Jewish people in whatever way possible.
Brunacci, the bishop's secretary at the time, helped oversee the hiding of the refugees in the convents, monasteries and friaries of Assisi, with the cooperation of a loose network of clergy and their supporters.
So well organized were their efforts, that the secret operations went undetected by the German occupation forces. Approximately 300 of Assisi's Jews survived due to these efforts. Brunacci was arrested a month before Italy was liberated by the Allies in May of 1944.
Decades later, in 1977, he was awarded the medal of "Righteous Among the Nations" by the state of Israel.
Ludwig Brunner, executive director of the Quick Center, said he is grateful to Jonathan Ross, director of operations of The Kimmel Center, for welcoming the exhibition.
"This makes it possible for St. Bonaventure University to showcase in New York City the history of its association with the diocese and the people of Assisi," said Brunner. "The Kimmel Center and its connected building, The Global Center for Spirituality, are visited on a daily basis by countless numbers of students and faculty of New York University, as well as outside visitors. This important subject will receive wide exposure to a new audience."
The Kimmel Center for University Life is located at 60 Washington Square South in New York City.
For more information, visit the Quick Center at www.sbu.edu/quickcenter.
About the University: As a leading Catholic Franciscan University, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. We are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers. Our students are becoming extraordinary.

This weekend was a blast. I spent almost every waking minute meeting Matt's family and old friends. This caused me to try and do a little bit of dressing up, with a lot of positive feedback. I ended up using a lot of the same pieces and mixing them up different ways. All of the photos can be enlarged by clicking on them.
Friday at work, feeling kind of lazy:
A borrowed, thrifted dress, my OTK boots and black tights. The belt is new from Target and I'm wearing it constantly.
Going out:
After work a good buddy, myself and the boyfriend went out. I wanted to wear something kind of sexy, but not my usual. I played around with this.
The wedding:
These photos are delightfully awkward because I made Matt step down the hall at the reception and take them. I love this outfit, but I think the skirt is awfully close in color to my skin.
Matt's Mom's place for an early Thanksgiving with his family:
I'm clearly adapting the same outfit from Friday night into Sunday daywear. I'm either lazy or a genius. Every time I wore this scarf I tried to do that elegant, casual thing where you drape it across the front and belt it. But this scarf is too long if you loop it once, too short if you loop it twice. I finally just gave up and threw it on.
Grabbing food on Monday, off work for the day:
I found out Monday that the hot water was shut off for a few hours due a mysterious disturbance in another apartment. Thus, I could not take a shower to step out to Panera and had to wear this hat. I never wear it normally because I feel like it makes me look like I want to be a painter or something. But it was kind of cute that day.
All-in-all, I think I've made some progress here. I feel like I'm not quite as clueless lately. My favorite outfit was the last one, of course, because it has so many of my favorite pieces going on. I'd be happy to share where I got any item that you're interested in.
Now, nap time- I just got off work and I'm beat. Hope you guys had a great weekend, and that this upcoming one is even better!

There are various lens protection technologies available for prescription and non-prescription eyewear.
Glare resistant - A set of ultra- thin layers on the lens surfaces that eliminates reflections to dramatically reduce glare. Reflections on both sides of the lens can lead to the wearer experiencing glare, which creates visual discomfort and reduces clarity of vision. An anti-reflective lens also gives better vision for night driving, which means improved safety – and for computer use, which means less eyestrain. As the lenses are more transparent, the wearers eye are no longer hidden behind reflections.
Scratch-resistant technology - A hard film that creates a much tougher surface on lenses. (These are still susceptible to damage, especially if dropped). The technology gives glasses a longer life and protects visual clarity. This is a must-have, and even more so on children's glasses.
Water Resistant - A water resistant treatment that repels water droplets, preserving clarity of vision. Lenses with a water-repellent surface prevents water collecting. The water rolls into small droplets and slides off the lens with ease. With ordinary lenses, water spreads and sticks to the surface.
UV Protection - A clear filter on the lenses that protects the eyes from damaging UV light, which can be applied to glasses as well as sunglasses. UV light is harmful to eyes, and has been linked to the development of cataracts and eye cancer. People who regularly spend time outdoors should opt for UV protection. UV protection is recommended for all sunglasses and for clear, everyday lenses too.

I love this tip from Healing Lifestyles & Spas (1 of my favorite sources for natural health and beauty info):
Snack on Watermelon after a Meal. The amino acid arginine can optimize oxidation of fat and glucose and pump up some lean muscle. The water will also help you feel full, making it less likely you'll snack unnecessarily after a meal.
Just in case watermelon's deliciousness wasn't enough of a reason to include it in your diet, now you know it can also up the slim factor!

As the Obama White House and Congress negotiate to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, nearly two-thirds of Americans say they favor a balanced deal to reduce the deficit -- consisting of both higher tax rates and cuts to key entitlement programs.
According to the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 65 percent say congressional leaders should make compromises to deal with the budget deficit, even if that means Democrats would need to accept targeted spending cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and that Republicans would need to accept targeted increases in tax rates.

President Barack Obama speaks about the economy at the Daimler Detroit Diesel engine plant Dec. 10, 2012 in Redford, Mi.
Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, walks to the House chamber to speak on the pending fiscal cliff negotiations Dec. 11, 2012 in Washington.
That includes 68 percent of Democrats, 66 percent of Republicans and 56 percent of political independents who support this position.
By comparison, just 28 percent believe leaders should stick to their traditional positions on the budget deficit, even if that means Congress goes over the fiscal cliff, triggering the automatic spending cuts and tax increases that are set to take place at the beginning of the year if Congress is unable to reach an agreement.
The full NBC/WSJ poll -- which was conducted of 1,000 adults from Dec. 6-9 and has a margin of error of plus-minus 3.1 percentage points -- will be released at 6:30 pm ET.
This particular question has margin of error of plus-minus 4.4 percentage points.

So many different takes on this one. I just want to know how y'all feel about this. See, some people think that any kind of physical punishment (swats, spankings, etc) is abuse. But some think that it depends on HOW you use the physical punishment (where, when, what you use, etc). Is calling names abuse? Is yelling abuse? Have you ever been accused by any one (officially or not) of abuse? Opinions, please! Oh, and lets keep this civil ladies. I know it's a hot-button topic, but I want to keep it clean. :)
