Remember last night's video of a Dodger Stadium usher swiping a foul ball from a giddy kid at a Dodgers/Phillies game? Yeah, the Dodgers said the usher only swiped a foul ball from a giddy kid temporarily. He was funning with him, you see. The official statement:
"It was all in good fun. Unfortunately, the video cuts away too quickly," Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch said. "Within seconds of him taking it away, he walked right back and gave it to him. Everyone ended up happy and smiling."
Good fun!

After noticing that many of you ladies are interested in this Givenchy replica bag, I decided to make a "How To Spot A Fake Givenchy Antigona" guide with lots of pictures to get my point across. Here are the essential elements you should check for this bag if you want to protect yourself from fake Givenchy bags!
First of all, let's start with the construction of this bag. The Givenchy Antigona is meant to be a structured tote, so this goes for as well. A good Givenchy bag replica should be able to stand on its own, so if the leather is too soft or slouchy and the bag loses its shape easily, then it's a bad copy. This applies to the Givenchy Antigona medium smooth leather tote and the Givenchy Antigona Small Sugar Goatskin Satchel Bag as well, this is a structured tote no matter the leather type.
Then there's another major giveaway that makes most Givenchy Antigona knockoffs easy to spot. It's what I call the "logo triangle pad" – the leather patch that's right in between the handles and that has the metal Givenchy logo on it. The pointy part of the triangle pad should be placed in the middle of the two handle tabs but let's say this is not so obvious for an untrained eye. What is actually more important in my opinion is that the leather pad shouldn't be neither too flat nor too "puffy". I think these are the best words to describe it, I hope you girls can get what I mean. I have to say, I've seen some Givenchy knockoff bags with really flat triangle leather pads and they looked awful. Here are two examples that prove my point:
There's another major flaw that many Givenchy knockoffs have and that is a really poor logo. You can easily notice that if you pay a bit of attention. For most Givenchy replica bags the metal letters in the logo are either misaligned, poorly cut, put too close together or they have different fonts or thickness. Just look at the photo below: notice how the "G" is much thinner than the "N" or the "C"?
Here is a clear photo with the original logo so that you study the font, the thickness of the metal letters and the space between them closely:
The handles of the Givenchy Antigona tote are tubular, pretty thin and stiff enough to stand on their own in a U-shape. If they are flimsy, then the leather/material used for that Givenchy fake bag is not the good type.
Look at the handle tabs/holders – first of all, check their shape and also the stitching. The first leather patch should be rounded at the bottom, tubular and not too wide and the second handle base has four corners at the bottom. The handles should have tone-on-tone, clean, sturdy stitching.
Now look at the two leather tabs on the bottom of the bag. First of all, they should both have the same size, obviously. They should neither be too wide not too thick. And again, look at the stitching and see if it's uniform and clean. The stitching should be ON the base tabs, not around them. This is one of the most common flaws Givenchy fake bags have and an easy way to spot a fake Antigona bag.
Just like in the case of the handle holders and the base pads, the shoulder strap should also have just the right width. The thickness of the Antigona's shoulder strap is great because it's neither too slim not too thick (so the width should be medium-sized), so it feels really comfortable on the shoulder. The two metal buckles on the shoulder strap can't be moved and they only serve decorative purposes.
It's not true that the Givenchy Antigona inside should always feature black fabric lining no matter the color of the exterior like some people claim. For some colors Givenchy uses beige canvas lining, like the one you can see below. What is true though is that the color of the lining should not match the color of the exterior of the bag unless it's the black Antigona! If we were to make a Givenchy Antigona vsPrada Saffiano, I think the Givenchy Antigona inside would lose because it's not very luxurious. But anyway, if your Antigona has a different type of material in the interior, then it's probably a replica Givenchy bag.

We as women know how much money we are spending on make up as we can never have too many lipsticks and foundations. Knowing that the struggle is real, we all need that one particular go-to Vanity Bag wherever we go and Chanel might have solved our dilemma. Ladies, here is Chanel's Coco Curve Vanity Case Bag which we treat as a prized possession.
We are loving smooth leather on this bag. Besides, we need a luxurious vanity case bag to hold our dearest collection of make-ups. It's so handy that you can take it by the hand or if you feel like wearing it over your shoulder, you can do so with its chained strap.
The big CC logo in front is one eye catcher. We'll never get tired of that logo that Chanel is known for. It is made up of calfskin, goatskin and gold metal.

Alessandra Ambrosio has done a lot of repping for Tod's in recent months. She was very fond of the Tod's Wave Bag, and here she is shopping in LA with a new Tod's mini.
Queen Bey was recently spotted out with her mom Tina Knowles and this suede MYSTERY backpack in NYC. Tell us what this is, hive mind! I can't stand the intrigue.
Chrissy Teigen recently carried this adorable blue suede Chloé Inez Shoulder Bag while doing a little shopping with John and baby Luna in Beverly Hills.
Here's David Beckham, hauling his oversized Louis Vuitton Keepall around Paris. David just so happens to be in town for the Louis Vuitton Spring 2017 men's collection show. Quelle surprise!
Hailey Baldwin also attended that NYC Coach party, and she brought along a studded orange leather version of the Rogue. Her dress is also Coach.
Here's a stunning candid shot of Heidi Klum in NYC. She's carrying a bag we haven't seen before, a tropical patterned Saint Laurent Helena Mini Bucket Bag. Thus, the Bucket Bag lives on to see another summer, and possibly fall.
Many words come to mind when I think of Kate Moss, but "cartoon" isn't one of them. Nonetheless, Kate carried this cute little Disney x Coach collab clutch to a Rimmel London event in London.

We'll always recognize the classic, leather monogrammed Louis Vuitton bag as being the brand's most iconic. But that doesn't mean we don't swoon over the purse's crazy-cool updates each season. With a bold artistic director like Nicolas Ghesquière at the helm of the fashion house, you can always expect something new — like a fresh, slouchy silhouette or some eye-catching hardware.
For Spring '16, no colorblock look from the LV collection was complete without a statement satchel, many of which were finished with a thick tassel or a double-strap chain. These handbags aren't for the understated fashion girls — they pull their weight in the accessory world, boasting tie-dye finishes and contrast quilting, requiring some of the models to wear leather gloves just to tote them around.
Read on to see all the major bag porn, straight from the Louis Vuitton runway at Paris Fashion Week, and just try to pick a favorite design.

It wasn't just the bags and shoes that made us gush as the models took the Fall '16 Louis Vuitton runway. It was the futuristic, spindly jewels that dangled from their ears and the long leather gloves that took their biker-babe outfits to the next level. The oversize hats that sat atop a few lucky ladies' heads were a reminder that Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière doesn't keep his collections muted. Instead, he adds accessories to carry out a theme.
But no matter what vibes he's sending out to showgoers, there's always an instant attraction when it comes to LV accessories. Immediately, these mesh-finished moto booties, trunks wrapped with silk scarves, and kitschy doctor bags will become must haves. Come Fall, we promise street style stars will count them all as It items, arriving at the Spring 2017 show with these exact designs in hand, ready for another round.

J.S. Bach's wonderful chorales are perfect for orchestras...for performance, warm-up, and for the study of precise intonation and ensemble playing. This set of 28 chorales retains Bach's original four-part settings, with only octave doublings added for a richer texture and to keep the instruments in a comfortable range. These chorales are suitable for both concert and church use, with several being appropriate for the Christmas and Easter seasons.

YORK, PA – York College junior women's basketball forward Kristen Haley (Silver Spring, Md./Georgetown Visitation) has been named the Capital Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week for the week ending January 27 as announced by the conference office on Monday afternoon.
Haley had a fantastic week to lead the Spartans to a perfect 3-0 stretch including their fifth Capital Athletic Conference win of the year on Saturday.
Haley began her week with 14 points and 13 rebounds in a road win at McDaniel on Monday night. She followed that with 22 points and 10 rebounds in the home win over Washington & Lee on Thursday.
In Saturday's victory over St. Mary's, Haley poured in a career-high 27 points while she pulled in 12 rebounds. Haley became the 13th member of the 1,000 career point club with a lay up on the right block with 5:52 left in the first half.
For the week, Haley averaged 21 points and 11.7 rebounds as she shot 47.1% from the floor, 33.3% from three and 81.2% from the free throw line. She handed out two assists and grabbed one steal in each game. Haley also blocked eight shots in the three games.
Her three double-doubles for the week give her seven for the year. The Spartans are now 16-4 overall and 5-2 in the CAC.
Haley is the daughter of Paul and Sue Haley and is a nursing major at York.

Welcome To The Poultry Diagnostic and Research Center
Our Mission
The mission of the Poultry Diagnostic and Research Center (PDRC) is threefold: teaching, research, and service in poultry medicine.
The teaching function includes teaching of poultry medicine in the professional curriculum in veterinary medicine; teaching poultry medicine in the poultry science curriculum; preparing veterinarians to work in the poultry industry via the Master of Avian Medicine program, the Master of Avian Health and Medicine online program; and training researchers in poultry medicine through the MS and PhD programs in Infectious Diseases, Veterinary Pathology, and Poultry Science.
The research programs emphasize problems in the diagnosis and control of economically important diseases of poultry. Applied and basic research is focused on solving problems of importance to the industry.
The service function exists to provide diagnostic and consultative services to the commercial poultry industry. This is accomplished by providing diagnostic, necropsy, consultation, and field services to local companies as well as companies located throughout the United States, and the world.
The three functions of teaching, research, and service are in many ways interchangeable. For example, service to the poultry industry also provides material for teaching and keeps faculty members abreast of industry problems so they can better focus their research. Teaching prepares students for careers in research and service. Research develops new knowledge for teaching and improved services. In the end, all three functions center on teaching and learning.
PDRC is part of the Department of Population Health, one of seven departments in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. The faculty and staff are housed in the Poultry Diagnostic and Research Center (PDRC), located approximately two miles from the main veterinary medicine complex. The PDRC was constructed in 1958 by the Agricultural Experiment Station of the College of Agriculture. In 1968, the administration of the PDRC was transferred to the College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition to graduate programs, the PDRC offers course work for DVM-degree seeking students, courses for undergraduate students in the College of Agriculture, and diagnostic assistance and consultation to the world's poultry producers.
Animal care facilities include 22 rooms of various sizes for colony research, over 130 isolation units including 13 glove box units for BSL-2 plus research, four conventional-type poultry houses, three hatcheries, and various support buildings including feed, maintenance, offices and necropsy. The PDRC also has a seminar conference room, a necropsy facility for research, and a photographic studio and darkroom, along with office space for faculty, staff, and graduate students.

An open letter to students in my Conversations with Professors session, Summer 2009:
Welcome to Georgia Southern University!
Our goals today, as set by the Office of the First-Year Experience, were:
- Understand how to approach the first week of classes, such as the importance of:
- The syllabus and knowing how to read one;
- Settling on a course schedule no later than the last day of drop/add (August 20 this Fall semester) and preferably well before then.
- Appreciate some basic tenets of the student-faculty relationship, such as:
- Most faculty care deeply that students learn the material in their classes and will go to great lengths to help them master the material, provided that they demonstrate that they are willing to apply themselves and work hard; and,
- Like students, individual faculty members differ in their rules and expectations. It's the student's responsibility to know what each of their professors expects (see that syllabus!).
Here are links to a few of the many things we discussed today in our CwP session:
- Twelve Ways Not to Annoy Your Professor (by Dr. Chris Caplinger)
- One Week Down (includes tips from my FYE 1220 students from last fall)
- 10 Tips for Success on Assignments
- GSU Fall 2009 Semester-at-a-Glance (a handy grid, in Microsoft Word format, for you to record major due dates)
- Syllabus Scavenger Hunt
- How to Study for Final Exams (from both a professor and a student perspective)
- How to Fail a Class (Without Really Trying) (my sarcastic take on some students' approaches to college & learning)
- Prof. Nixon's End of Semester Rant (another sarcastic take)
- 10 Ways NOT to Prepare for College Advising (a third sarcastic take)
- Prof. Nixon's Teaching & Learning Philosophy (as your professors if they'll share theirs with you; it'll give a great insight into your professor's approach)
- Financial Aid Podcast (a weekly podcast filled with tips on college finances)
- Di Passaggio theatrical trailer (film directed by James Kicklighter)
Questions as you prepare for Fall 2009? I'm happy to help.

The military junta that ended up siding with anti-regime protesters has accused foreign-funded "activists" — including more than a few Americans working for U.S. government-financed organizations — of undermining the new rulers and supporting protests. Criminal inquiries into the groups' activities are ongoing.
At least six Americans and numerous other foreigners, some whom were working for the U.S. government-funded International Republican Institute or the National Democratic Institute, have been barred from leaving the country as the investigations continue. Several U.S. nationals are taking shelter at the U.S. embassy in Cairo, the State Department said.
"We do not feel that they are in physical danger at the moment. That is a different matter than whether they are being persecuted in the Egyptian judicial system," U.S. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nulan told NPR, noting that the situation would be discussed by the Obama administration and a delegation of Egyptian generals currently in Washington.
Meanwhile, Congress has imposed new conditions on the Egyptian government that it must meet before receiving any more American tax money. The U.S. government gives billions in aid to Egypt every year for "security" and other purposes, but those taxpayer funds will now be contingent on the nation moving toward "democracy" and respecting the "rights" of the federal government's "Non-Governmental Organizations" (NGOs).
But so-called democracy in Egypt has not turned out quite like everyone backing the Arab Spring had hoped. Recent elections handed more than two-thirds of the new Parliament to the Muslim Brotherhood and other radical Islamist parties. And while the Brotherhood has promised to respect individual rights, not everybody is convinced.
The Supreme Council of Armed Forces still holds most of the real power in Egypt as a Constitution is drafted and the nation awaits presidential elections. Still, tensions are quickly escalating between the junta and activists seeking civilian rule. As usual, the U.S. government is getting involved, too.
Some analysts have encouraged Obama to continue supporting the military council in an effort to defend "U.S. interests" in the region, protect the Coptic Christian minority, and avoid the creation of an anti-Israeli theocracy on the Jewish state's border. Others, however, are urging the administration to support "democracy" and, by extension, the elected Islamist government.
The whole situation has forced the Obama administration into an awkward position. Either it supports the ruling military regime and abandons any pretense of backing "democracy," or it throws its weight behind the elected parliament dominated by radical Islamists. The constitutional option of non-intervention appears to be off the table for now.
But as Obama's role in Egypt continues to attract media coverage, tensions simmering beneath the surface within the country could explode at any time, too. The main factions within Egypt's current political climate appear to be hard-line elected Islamists, the ruling military junta, and the young revolutionaries — largely perceived as more liberal and secular.
The Brotherhood and the military junta, meanwhile, are increasingly seen as allies by observers — especially considering the Islamists' calls to keep the military in power as government institutions are developed and strengthened. But the situation has angered and alienated significant segments of the Egyptian population.
Many pro-"democracy" revolutionaries are unhappy with the overwhelming victory earned by Islamists in parliamentary elections. And across the political spectrum, Egyptians are becoming increasingly weary of the once-popular military council's unchecked power behind the scenes. Demands for an immediate transfer of power to a civilian body are growing daily.
On the one-year anniversary of the uprising that ultimately toppled Egypt's long-ruling U.S.-backed dictator Hosni Mubarak, citizens once again poured into Tahrir square — the epicenter of the revolution. But the mood was not entirely joyful. In fact, hostility and suspicion were everywhere, according to news reports.
"I'm not here to celebrate or sing or dance. I came here to demand retribution for the killers of the revolution's martyrs and those responsible for injuring protesters," popular Islamic cleric Mazhar Shaheen told the assembled crowd. "It would be idiocy to celebrate while the parents of slain protesters are still shedding tears and while many others remain in detention."
The Muslim Brotherhood, which controls by far the greatest number of seats in Parliament, also came under fire from critics at the square. Some protesters reportedly even hurled objects at the group during the gathering, according to news reports. But officials with the Brotherhood fought back against the criticism.
"We cannot separate the revolutionaries from the Brotherhood. The latter was established in 1928 during a state of revolution," Ahmed Abou Baraka with the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party was quoted as saying. "It has fought injustice and seen tens of thousands of its members martyred in different eras, under presidents Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak."
As tensions continue to escalate, U.S. authorities are urging the Egyptian government to lift its travel ban on the Americans under investigation. And with so much taxpayer "aid" money potentially at stake, it is probably only a matter of time before they are allowed to leave, according to analysts. One of the U.S. nationals being investigated is Sam LaHood, the son of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.
Even if the Americans are allowed depart without criminal prosecution, however, the domestic situation in Egypt could continue to deteriorate. Regardless of which faction ends up in control — the Muslim Brotherhood, the military junta, or an alliance of the two — the future does not necessarily look bright.

"Manchester, Parts 1 And 2" (season 3, episodes, 2-3; originally aired 10/10/01 and 10/17/01)
The team head to Manchester four weeks after Bartlet's big announcement
West Wing viewers who watched the show's original airing—and patiently waited all summer for the show to return—were in for a massive disappointment. On October 3, 2001, the show opened its third season with "Isaac And Ishmael," an episode written shortly after the attacks of September 11 and rushed into production. There would be no resolution of the beautiful cliffhanger of "Two Cathedrals," only a "special episode" that though I haven't seen yet, I'm not thrilled to take on. I hear it's not great. It must have really sucked to expect one thing and get something else entirely.
And thanks to the power of hindsight, I won't put you all through that again. Look for "Isaac And Ishmael" next week, but for now, we're back to the good stuff. "Two Cathedrals" really threw the show, and everyone inhabiting it, for a loop. "Manchester, Parts 1 And 2" is meant to center the characters and the audience after the announcement. And like most things on The West Wing, it's a long, messy, spectacular road to a perfect (likely quippy) end.
Both episodes have scenes from two points in time, the first being the events of the President's press conference—last season's cliffhanger—and the events immediately following. Not even the "Previously on The West Wing section of "Manchester, Part 1" can do "18th & Potomac" or "Two Cathedrals" justice, so we're thrust back into the thick of it right from the get-go. CJ is doing damage control; the press recently learned that for the last few years, President Bartlet has been hiding his MS from the American people. His doctor wife administers treatment, and outside of her, only a tiny handful of people know, including longtime friend Leo. This time, we don't see Bartlet approach the press conference in the pouring rain, we only get a soaking-wet Bartlet at the podium, calmly calling on the one person CJ told him not to call on. The one who's going to ask if he's running for reelection. She asks once. Bartlet asks her to say it again, and speak up. He puts his hands in his pockets.
The first time through, these events were heightened and sensationalized by the preceding Mrs. Landingham storyline. Today, they're told from the perspective of someone sitting in that press room, waiting eagerly for Bartlet's response. Everyone is quiet. This is no longer Bartlet's story; it's being handed over to the press. And Bartlet sure knows how to do that:
"Yes, and I'm going to win."
We don't hear those words again until the end of "Part 1," when Bartlet and Leo meet at the Bartlet estate, out in the field. The second storyline of both "Manchester" parts takes place four weeks in the future, chronicling the road leading to the President's official announcement that he'll be seeking a second term. This particular moment is a few days before the speech, and the team's only recently arrived in Manchester. Dressed in farm clothes out in the open, it's easy to forget Bartlet's the President. The way he says "And we're going to win," it sounds like he's the captain of some bowling team talking down a pessimistic teammate. The gravity of the race he's about to enter—the gravity of the man himself—is lost for a moment, and much like "Two Cathedrals," we see a fragile guy blindly hurtling forward because he's got nowhere else to go.
For the rest of the episode, though, Bartlet is the President. Make that The President, capital The. He's a figurehead, an idea, a force to be reckoned with. Fittingly, he barely appears after ending that press conference and reemerging on the farm. There's business that needs attending in the meantime. Once the initial press conference ends, Bartlet is whisked into the Situation Room to hear about a developing problem in Haiti, and he's forced to forget about his recent announcement and make a hard military decision. Four weeks later, he'll give the magical speech that launches his campaign; first, though, we have to slog through semantics arguments, whether a word is too smart or not smart enough, whether the man should apologize or not. The West Wing spares us no details.
The narrative construction of "Manchester's" two parts allows ideas to be teased, then immediately followed up on in full-blown fashion. When the President returns to his residency from the Situation Room, his wife is there to greet him. "It looks like some guy went in front of millions of people and totally screwed his wife." Bartlet shrugs it off. Four weeks later, though, CJ is staging photos of the President with his wife—or trying to, at the risk of losing her cider—simply to provide an alternative to all the President solo pictures; the marriage is on the rocks. After the President's announcement, we're taken to the communications office for one of the most epic walk-and-talk, yelling-over-each-other scenes in West Wing history as the team simply attempts damage control. Four weeks later, they're at a bar in Manchester, calmly (relatively) rewriting the speech from scratch, and Bruno notes the President needs to apologize—a point everyone immediately shuts down as if they've been dealing with this for a month. One month earlier, though, we hear Sam ask for one.
If the show does one thing really well—and it does several, obviously—it's to draw us in as the good guys go up against the bad ones; then, when I'm convinced I know who the bad guys are, it noticeably and deftly chinks the good guy armor. In most cases, the good guys are Josh, Sam, CJ, Toby, and Leo, or some combination thereof, and the bad guys (at least so you think) are the visitors and guest stars. I've started to notice a trend with substantial West Wing pinch-hitters like Oliver Babish, Joey Lucas, or Bruno and his team: They all approach the White House crew with a healthy dose of skepticism that, c'mon, these guys can't be that brazen. "Really?" I can hear them all say in their heads. Most inevitably give in, realizing that it's simply what they've got to work with. For now, it's kind of enjoyable to watch Doug and Toby have at it, or Connie (aka Mrs. Coach, who's odd without her Southern drawl) sweet-talk Sam. They see the reality of the situation as dictated by perceived public opinion and market research data. The team sees the reality of the situation as dictated by ideals and Sorkin's version of integrity.
It's a situation meant to drive each camp to wit's end. The West Wing takes its time, too. The team members argue at the bar. They argue in the barn next to snakes. They argue in every room of every Manchester house they find themselves in. They argue about simple math ("Bartlet rules America. America rocks. Therefore, Bartlet rocks") and how much multiple sclerosis public education is too much multiple sclerosis public education. And after two episodes of this, I'm ready to tell these campaign strategists to shove it. That is, until Doug finally reaches wit's end and tells Toby off.
It's not these new guys Toby hates, it's the President for putting him in this position. For putting everyone in this position.
And we're back to this thing: Is Toby—plus the rest of the team for that matter—angry at The President with a capital T, or Jed Bartlet, the man? I really buy Toby's pain because I believe it's both. Near the end of "Part 1," CJ makes a terrible mistake. She's running a press conference about the situation in Haiti, but reporters are only interested in bringing up questions about Bartlet's MS and the fact that he might stand trial for what he did to the American people. Flustered beyond belief, CJ (who's proven herself able to roll with just about any punch), cracks. "I think the President is just relieved to be focused on something that mattered." That little word, "relieved," sends up infinite red flags, and CJ loses her shit. Fast forward those four weeks, and CJ is talking to Leo about quitting her job. Something similar happens in these two episodes to Josh—who's largely on the sidelines, occasionally popping up to give Joey Lucas orders. An announcement is scheduled from the FDA for the same day as the President's speech, wherein they will approve RD-486 for use. Josh can block the announcement if he'd like; he has no jurisdiction over the FDA, but he knows the head of the organization, got him his job, even. He really wants to make the call, and no one will give him the final okay. We learn in the final moments of "Part 2" that it's misplaced guilt: Josh leaked a tobacco press release earlier on, thus cutting out support from three states the President would probably need to be reelected. He's let down the President of the United States and also his friend, Jed Bartlet.
It's savvy of The West Wing to make a show about the President of the United States that only occasionally features the President as the central character. Throughout the series thus far, Bartlet's managed to swing in and out of focus, and I've barely noticed. I had to consult my notes to remember that it's Leo, not the President, who sits in the Situation Room as the helicopters attempt a rescue in Haiti. In "Part 2," Bruno is called to the White House. He's a campaign consultant that we've met already, four weeks later in Manchester. Now we witness his taking of the actual job, and one of his demands is that he be granted unfettered access to the President. It's a deal breaker, he says. Leo laughs; the President is more kind, but also refuses. Much like Bruno, I feel like the show never grants us that kind of access to Bartlet. And also much like Bruno, when we're in his presence, we get a little flustered and forget what it was we were even talking about or what our "deal breakers" even were.
That's because The West Wing presents a third option. 1) Jed Bartlet is a man. 2) He's also The President with a capital T. Now 3) He's also a President—one of a very select group of people, one who will be remembered for all of time. This is the United States, and he's one of the motherfuckin' Presidents. It's humbling. Standing there, watching Bartlet about to give the speech that will alter the course of history forever, CJ has forgotten she ever wanted to quit. Josh has forgotten his tobacco boo-boo. Toby's hatred for the man has dissipated, his hours crossing out "Bartlet For President" and replacing it with "Bartlet Is President" now seems like time well spent. "Break's over," Bartlet says. It's the kind of pithy, quippy episode end The West Wing does all the time, but watching it again, after so much time off, I can't find fault in the tactic.
Stray observations:
- "At the moment, I'm leaning towards voting for you." A wonderful way for the show to tell us Bartlet and the Mrs. are on the mend. Also great to see Stockard Channing added to the opening credits.
- Also a great tiny moment: Margaret annoyed that Leo scheduled his own meeting with Bruno.
- "Don't ever come to me again with 'unnamed sources.'"
- Interesting to see how this season is going to inadvertently tie into Obama's run for reelection. I've spoken before about Bartlet/Obama similarities, and as Bartlet points out, his campaign is going to be one where he says what he truly wants and hopes America comes along for the ride. Here's hoping Obama does the same.
- "Yeast is a fun word to say."
- "This reads like an Andy Williams special!"
- Toby reciting the speech from memory = impressive. Wish I could write like that. I've been sitting here working on this piece for… a while.
- "…doesn't want Dr. Kevorkian running." Too soon?
- Next week, I'll tackle "Isaac And Ishmael." Oy.

Lea Michele Debuted A Smoky Copper Eye For The 2012 Met Gala—Get Her Exact Look
The Glee star looked so glam at the gala May 7—here's how you can copy her look!
Lea Michele was the picture of sophisticated elegance when she stepped onto the 2012 Met Ball red carpet. Lea, 25, look so beautiful thanks to Celebrity Makeup Artist, Melanie Inglessis, who created the glamorous beauty look.
Melanie put the focus on Lea's eyes by lining them with a deep plum liner and then layered copper toned eye shadows on the actress's lids. Using a soft crease brush, she blended the edges of the liner with the shadow to create definition and give a smokey eye effect. Melanie then upped the drama by swiping a dark eye shadow over the liner and added two coats of Avon ExtraLasting in Extreme Black for a finishing touch.
To offset the intensity of Lea's eyes, Melanie kept the rest of Lea's face simple: she added a rosy flush of color with Avon Be Blushed in Icy Petal on her cheekbones and opted for a natural lip, using a lipstick to enhance Lea's own lip color.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) — October shouldn't be the only month in which you find stocks to "harvest" from your portfolio, of course.
Pruning and culling the stocks in your trading portfolio is something you should do any time of year. And you should consider doing it regardless of whether you otherwise believe the stock market as a whole is going to continue going up — since weak stocks will cause your portfolio to lag the overall market.
How to harvest profits
With the markets heading into a downbeat earnings season, and the fiscal cliff, presidential campaign and Europe looming, Trading Strategies looks at how to harvest profits in October.
• Will the Halloween Indicator work this year?
• When October comes, don't fear the Reaper
• Harvesting profits and reseeding cash
• A primer on profit-taking for the fall season
• Stocks ripe for harvesting in October
But it's especially important to remind ourselves of this in October, since it comes just before the beginning of the seasonally strong six-month period that it is the basis of the well-known Halloween Indicator. So investors are all too likely to ignore the sell side as they focus on stocks to buy over the coming month.
That's why I am devoting this column to stocks you might want to consider selling.
To come up with the list of such stocks, I turned to the couple of hundred advisors tracked by the Hulbert Financial Digest. I narrowed my focus to just those select advisers who have beaten a buy-and-hold in the stock market over the last 15 years — a long enough time to separate out those whose good performance was due at least in large part to genuine ability.
The list that appears below includes just those stocks that these market-beating advisers have heavily sold in recent months. Specifically, I included only those stocks for which the number of advisers selling exceeds the number of advisers buying by at least two.
Before I present you this list, let me report the returns of the 11 stocks that a similar methodology produced at the beginning of April. Since then, the average total return of those stocks has been minus 0.6%, in contrast to a 5% gain for the Wilshire 5000 Total Return index. (Read my Apr. 2 column, "11 stocks to throw out during spring cleaning.")
These results provide yet more confirmation that it behooves us to pay attention to what the top performers are doing.
Here's the list of stocks these top performers are heavily selling now:
- Acme Packet Inc. US:APKT
- AGCO Corp. AGCO, -0.61%
- Agilent Technologies A, -1.54%
- CA Inc. US:CA
- Deere & Co. DE, +0.38%
- Kraft Foods US:KFT
- Ryder System R, -1.44%
- Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets VWO, +0.47%

Investigators have developed a line of genetically modified T cells that specifically target and destroy human glioma tumors transplanted into the brains of mice. They now seek to improve the long-term efficacy of this treatment by further modifying the T cells and their mode of administration.
One mode of cancer immunotherapy is to inject tumors with cytotoxic T cells that recognize tumor cells and destroy them. In previous work, the investigators had preliminary success in treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumors using genetically modified T cells called "HER2-T cells." These T cells bear receptors for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). This is a protein that is expressed at abnormally high levels by GBM tumor cells, and so these HER2-T cells are able to bind selectively to tumor cells. In addition, the HER2 receptor on these T cells is engineered to include signaling areas (regions of the receptor that lie inside the cell) that activate the T cells after they bind to tumor cells, causing the HER2-T cells to proliferate and kill the tumor cells.
When HER2-T cells were injected into human GBM tumors that had been transplanted into the brains of mice, they destroyed the tumors. Nonetheless, tumors later reappeared in the mice. The investigators suspect that tumor reappearance might be due to one or several factors, including: (1) failure of the HER2-T cells to proliferate and remain active at the site of the injection; (2) failure of the HER2-T cells to migrate to and destroy small groups of tumor cells lying at a distance from the injection site; or (3) suppression of HER2-T cell activity by tumor cell-secreted factors.
The investigators will address each of these possibilities through specific modifications of their therapeutic design. First, they will add to the engineered HER2 receptor another T cell-activating area and assess its effect on T cell proliferation and killing of GBM cells in laboratory cultures and in vivo. Second, they will try to improve the migratory capacity of the HER2-T cells. Third, they will determine whether HER2-T cell proliferation and killing of GBM cells in laboratory cultures and in vivo is enhanced by a drug that inhibits a specific protein, which is produced at high levels in GBM cells and promotes their secretion of immunosuppressant cytokines.
Significance: This study will advance the development of more sophisticated T cell therapies for a particularly aggressive form of human brain tumor, for which no treatments with long-term efficacy currently exist.
The intent of this project is to develop antigen-specific T cells as an effective immunotherapy for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive primary human brain tumor. Current therapies for GBM result in five-year survival rates of less than 5% and new therapies are needed to improve current outcomes without increasing treatment-related morbidities. Immunotherapies have the potential to fulfill this need, since they are highly tumor-specific and cause minimal bystander cell damage.
We propose to use T cells to target the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a surface antigen, which is overexpressed in GBM. Our preliminary studies have validated HER2 as a target for immunotherapy of brain tumors including medulloblastoma and GBM by showing that genetically modified T cells expressing engineered HER2-specific chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) with CD28 and TCR-ζ chain-signaling domains (HER2-T cells) can recognize and kill HER2-positive human GBMs growing in the brain of SCID mice after intra-tumoral injection. However, in experimental animals, HER2-positive GBMs recurred after initial regression. Tumor recurrence is most likely due to several factors including a) lack of T-cell persistence, b) limited migration of T cells to tumor micro deposits, and c) the inhibitory tumor environment created by GBMs.
Our central hypothesis is that eliminating two or more of these obstacles will enhance the anti-tumor activity of injected HER2-T cells. This hypothesis will be tested in 3 interrelated aims. In Aim 1 we will compare the expansion, persistence, and anti-tumor efficacy of HER2-T cells from GBM patients expressing CARs with improved signaling domains. In Aim 2 we will optimize the ability of patients' HER2-T cells to migrate to GBMs by forced expression of appropriate chemokine receptors, and in Aim 3 we will compare the expansion, persistence, and anti-tumor efficacy of patients' HER2-T cells in the presence or absence of the STAT3 inhibitor JSI-124.
Upon completion of these aims we will have advanced our understanding on how to modify T cells and the tumor microenvironment to redirect the immune system towards GBMs. We will have learned in Aim 1 how to effectively enhance the effector function of T cells to recognize and kill GBMs, and in Aim 2 how to augment T-cell trafficking to GBM micro deposits. In addition, we will know after completion of Aim 3 if inhibiting STAT3 overcomes the inhibitory tumor microenvironment resulting in enhanced anti-GBM activity of injected T cells.

Local vets celebrated at Leavenworth Veteran's Day Parade
Three-year-old Mason Lake stood a couple paces in front of his family, waving his small American flag left to right, so close to the Veterans Day Parade in Leavenworth that one of the active-duty soldiers marching in front of him could've reached down to pat him on the head.
Lake, of Lansing, was one of hundreds of spectators of all ages expressing their gratitude to veterans, active military members and the families of veterans Monday morning in downtown Leavenworth. The Veterans Day Parade in Leavenworth is said to be the oldest such observation in the nation and the largest Veterans Day parade west of the Mississippi River. The parade lasted longer than two hours Monday as more than 100 groups and floats wound their way through the city.
At the midway point of the parade were several marching groups of soldiers currently stationed at Ft. Leavenworth. One of them, Lt. Col. Karen Hubbard, of Tennessee, said she had never seen a celebration like Monday's.
"I've never marched in a parade like this," Hubbard said. "It was a challenge to keep from tearing up, especially when you can't hear your cadence leader but all you can hear is the heart-felt thank-you's coming from the people."
Hubbard has been stationed at Ft. Leavenworth since July 2012 when she returned from a tour in Iraq. Currently the battalion commander of the Combined Arms Center Special Troops Battalion, Hubbard has served in Korea, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Peru and Honduras.
The parade celebrated every generation of veteran. Vietnam veteran Gordon Robinson of Topeka could be seen holding back tears as a float drove past him playing "God Bless America."
"This is a lot more festive that most parades I've been too," Robinson said. "You can really feel it and it's just great to see all the kids out here."
Local troops of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and local VFW and American Legion posts, including those from Tonganoxie, Basehor and Bonner Springs, all paraded down Cherokee Street during the warmest hours of Monday. The first taste of winter drizzle didn't start falling until the end of the parade.
Closing the parade were members of the Ft. Leavenworth Buffalo Soldiers chapter riding high on horseback.
The Grand Marshal for the 94th Leavenworth County Veterans Day Observance was Lt. Gen. Ronnie D. Hawkins Jr. The theme of this year's parade was "Stand for those who stood for you."
Boy Scout Chase Allen, 13, rode on a trailer lined with hay bales and American flags with his Leavenworth troop. He said he had either attended or participated in the parade for the past three years.
"It's a lot of fun to see the community come together to thank (the veterans)," Allen said.
While Allen and others have been able to attend the parade, active-duty military members often have to sacrifice holidays, birthdays and other special events while serving. Maj. Haywood McMillan, 35, is one of them. He has been stationed at Ft. Leavenworth for four months and has served in Afghanistan, Iraq and Jordan. After marching in the parade with his daughter, Trinity, a member of the local Girl Scout troop, he sat with this family and enjoyed one of the first Veterans Days he has been able to spend with them.
"It's good to be here, to be able to do this," McMillan, of North Carolina, said. "Veterans and their families have done so much, sacrificed so much for this county. It's just an honor to be here and be a part of this."

Sampling SaisonSeptember 1, 2003 - K. Florian Klemp
The French word for season, saison, has become a stylistic designation to distinguish a group of beers from Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium. Today, these historically seasonal ales are brewed year-round. Saisons present a complex character that is both aggressive and subtle. Unmistakably Belgian and unequivocally rustic, they beckon exploration.

The H2 Dance Company will conclude its premiere season with a performance tonight at 8 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
H2 Dance Company is a semi-professional repertory dance company affiliated with the Hope College Department of Dance. It provides professional dance performance and touring experiences to its company members, as well as engaging the community in artistically and educationally diverse dance performances.
H2 prides itself on presenting works that reflect all areas of dance (ballet, modern, jazz, tap, and hip hop), while still maintaining the traditions or dance and presenting choreography that is fresh/contemporary. Artistic director Matthew Farmer, who created the company and concert with assistant artistic director Crystal Frazier, noted that audiences will be exposed to a variety of dance.
"There is something for every lover of dance in this concert," he said. "If you want athleticism, it is there. If you want artistry, it is there."
Guest choreographer Sharon Wong has created a full -company piece that reflects the strength and versatility of the dancers and explores the themes of oral traditions. Guest choreographer Kristen Farmer's piece pushes artistic boundaries. Crystal Frazier's afro-fusion employs fast paced rhythmic movement and athletic jumps, while her hip hop piece has a tension that captures the edginess of grit and containment. Matthew Farmer created three pieces for the performance. His two contemporary ballet pieces contrast one another in theme, feel and atmosphere, but remain true to lines and form of the style, while his tango-inspired piece has a fire that is contagious.
Tickets are $10 for regular admission, $7 for senior citizens, and $5 for Hope College students and children 18 and under. Tickets are available at the ticket offices in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse (222 Fairbanks Ave.) and the Events and Conferences Office located downtown in the Anderson-Werkman Financial Center (100 E. Eighth St.). Both offices are open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be called at (616) 395-7890. Tickets are also available online at tickets.hope.edu/ticketing/.
The Knickerbocker Theatre is located at 86 E. Eighth St.

Values: brought to life
Our values
In the Ericsson global community, we share three core values: Respect, Professionalism, Perseverance.

Our global environment means that we can offer our people constant opportunities to broaden their horizons in so many different ways. This means that freedom, autonomy and personal responsibility will always be important parts of the Ericsson culture. We're supportive, but we also understand that our talented people are always open to opportunities to challenge themselves through new opportunities. So we encourage innovation and experimentation. We want all of our people to be brave, to take ownership of their own performance and to dare to do more.

Important notice: fraudulent job offers
It has come to our attention that emails and job adverts have been created and circulated by unknown individuals for the purpose of attempting to defraud candidates.
Potential candidates should be wary of approaches that appear to be offering a job for which they have not applied, especially if personal details or money must be sent in order to proceed with the recruitment. Neither Ericsson nor any commissioned third parties recruit in this manner. Such approaches are almost certainly fraudulent attempts to gain details of identity for illegal use.
Ericsson is taking all necessary steps to investigate this matter further.
