NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Cancer of the back of the mouth and throat is on the rise, primarily because of more cases stemming from a viral infection called human papillomavirus (HPV), researchers report in a new study.
The number of people who were diagnosed with HPV-related oral cancer in 2004 was triple the number diagnosed in 1988, due largely, researchers suspect, to changes in sexual behavior that have helped spread the virus.
HPV is a very common sexually transmitted infection that can cause genital warts and certain cancers, including of the cervix, anus and penis.
Dr. Maura Gillison at the Ohio State University and her colleagues examined oral cancer tissue collected from 271 patients over a 20-year period.
The type of cancer they examined, called oropharyngeal, originates in the back of the tongue, the soft part of the roof of the mouth, the tonsils, or the sides of the throat.
They checked the samples for evidence of HPV infection and found that the HPV-related cases became more and more common each decade, while those samples that didn't test positive for the virus became less common.
From these results, the researchers estimate that HPV-related oral cancers now afflict 26 out of every million people in the United States, compared to eight out of every million people in 1988.
Dr. Tina Dalianis, a professor at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden who did not participate in this research, said she believes the increase in oral cancers "is due to an HPV epidemic."
"We believe that sexual habits have changed, and that there is an increase in sexual activity earlier on in life, with an exchange of many more sex partners in general," she wrote in an email to Reuters Health.
The current study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, confirms what Dalianis had found previously in Sweden, that HPV-related oral cancers were becoming the dominant form of the disease.
Previously, tobacco had been the primary cause of oral cancer, and most oral cancer cases were HPV-negative.
Gillison's group found that HPV-negative cancers have been cut in half since the 1980s.
HPV-positive cases — which had made up just 16 percent of oral cancer cases in the 1980s — comprised more than 70 percent in the 2000s.
"This whole relationship between HPV-related head and neck cancer completely changes our ideas of who is at risk, how to treat the cancer, the prognostics of the cancer, and prevention," Gillison told Reuters Health.
The good news is that people diagnosed with the HPV-positive form of the cancer have a better prognosis, she said, and the cancer is more responsive to treatment.
There is also a potential opportunity for prevention using an HPV vaccine that is approved to prevent anal and cervical cancer, Gillison said.
If the vaccine can prevent these HPV-caused cancers, perhaps it can work for oropharyngeal cancers too, she added.
Gillison and her colleagues have received research funds or consulting jobs through the companies that sell HPV vaccines, and one of the companies is a financial contributor to an organization that helped to fund this study.
The vaccines are not proven to prevent oral cancer, and Gillison said it will be important to test whether they are effective for this increasingly common form.

It was a nice change walking around the Rental Show in New Orleans last week and seeing and hearing a far more optimistic rental industry than we've seen for the past few years. I spoke with a lot of exhibitors and the majority of them were reporting solid leads, some good sales at the show and a far more optimistic attitude among rental customers than in some time. As Genie's Matt Fearon said, last year at this time there was a sense that they were turning the corner but this year clearly the corner had been turned and a new rental era was beginning.
Doosan Infracore Portable Power's veteran Joe Jabbour — who has been through 40 years of rental shows — noted that this year rental companies were buying to grow their fleets, as opposed to last year when people tended to buy because they had a specific project to supply.
Industry research is showing the optimism is not anecdotal. Baird, in partnership with RER, recently published the results of its fourth-quarter 2011 rental equipment industry survey, which showed rental revenue growth of 11.5 percent, with projections of about 11 percent for 2012 (see http://rermag.com/trends_analysis/headlinenews/baird-rer-q411-equipment-rental-industry-survey-020112/index.html .) IHS Global Insight, one of the world's leading economic forecasting firms, said at the Rental Show, that it projects at least a 6.9-percent increase in the industry in 2012. (http://rermag.com/trends_analysis/headlinenews/ihs-global-predicts-rental-revenue-growth-020912/) Noted equipment industry researcher Frank Manfredi, who writes an annual rental equipment industry forecast in RER, projects a 12-percent rental industry increase in 2012 to about $28.2 billion in the U.S. (http://rermag.com/trends_analysis/headlinenews/manfredi-predicts-12-percent-2012-rental-industry-growth-012012/index.html ).
And in an RER rental industry story in its January issue, most rental executives interviewed by RER predicted rental volume increases ranging from 5 to 15 percent for the coming year (http://rermag.com/business_technology/business_info_analysis/learning-lessons-changing-landscape-20120101/).
There are always a few exceptions at a show, but for the most part the optimism was strong. And almost everyone we spoke to was happy to have the show back in New Orleans, from the late-night revelers on Bourbon Street to the early-morning coffee drinkers and beignet eaters at Café du Monde. Ok, not everybody loves New Orleans, just like not everybody enjoys oysters and crawfish etouffee, but I never heard anybody say, "Why are we coming to New Orleans, when can we go back to Atlanta?"
No offense to Georgians, but ARA members by and large prefer New Orleans and kudos to the association for listening to its membership.

Merrill's baby Clara is finally old enough to eat solid foods. Armed with her greenmarket bag, a wooden spoon and a minimal amount of fuss, Merrill steps into the fray.
This week, she tackles yogurt. Which is not as simple as it sounds.
As I mentioned last time, our pediatrician told us we shouldn't give Clara cow's milk until she's at least one. But apparently stuff made from cow's milk -- if you culture it, for example, or turn it into cheese -- is fine. Go figure. I don't know the science behind this, nor can I say really care. I come from a long line of dairy freaks, so this was straight-up good news.
Cottage cheese, a particular favorite in my family (did I mention that I have a husband who can't stand cheese? It was the one serious concern I had before I married him.), made it into Clara's breakfast routine early on. Soon we were ready to try yogurt.
I'd been buying organic cottage cheese without guilt, but once I started checking out yogurt labels, I found I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of feeding Clara one of the commercial "baby-friendly" varieties. (Have you seen how much sugar there is in that stuff?) So I pulled my yogurt maker out of the closet. Last year, I wrote about how easy it is to make your own yogurt, and I have one of these to make it even simpler. You just heat up some milk, add starter, pour it into cute little pots and leave the yogurt to gestate overnight.
I confess I felt a small thrill of self-satisfaction knowing I'd actually made yogurt for my child. I mean, how lucky was she? That thrill died when I tried to get her to eat it. When I tasted the yogurt, I'd found it pleasantly tangy and rich -- better than store-bought for sure. Clara did not appear to agree. After the first dab hit her tongue, she screwed up her little nose and pressed her lips together like a vise. Our first yogurt tasting was a total failure. As was our second. When she rejected it a third time, I realized it was time to face facts. My kid wasn't going to eat this yogurt as-is.
Rooting around in the fridge, I found some stewed blackberries I'd made the week before from some squashed berries that had fallen victim to some of the heavier produce in my farmers market bag. I strained some of the berries and their juice into the yogurt and tasted it. Tasty, but maybe even more tart than before. I needed something liquid and sweet, and I wasn't supposed to add honey. I spied a bottle of maple syrup and dribbled a little bit into the yogurt. I stirred and tasted again. Then I thought, "If my child doesn't appreciate this damned yogurt, then she's no child of mine."
This story has a happy ending (if it didn't, would I really be telling it?): Clara now loves yogurt. She still makes wonderful funny faces at the tartness, but now she opens her mouth for more before she's swallowed the last bite. I've made raspberry, peach, and blueberry yogurt, always cooking the fruit down with just a sprinkle of raw sugar to coax out the juices, and then sweetening the yogurt itself with a little maple syrup. If I run out of my own plain yogurt, I buy a plain, organic whole-milk variety and mix in the fruit and maple syrup. And I plan to freeze plenty of fruit purees now (more on freezing another week). That way, I can feed Clara homemade fruit yogurt all winter.
I haven't measured how many grams of sugar are in a serving of my homemade yogurt, and I don't plan to. If it's the same as the store-bought kind I initially rejected, well, I figure ignorance is bliss.

Time Out says
It's been called the best raunch-fest in the City of Angels and it's held weekly at Fubar, West Hollywood's most alternative outpost. Every Thursday, moustached alt-nightlife-maestro Mario Diaz brings out boystown's sexiest players for a night that kicks off the weekend with a healthy dose of testerone, a scantily clad, tattooed brigade of go-go boys and a contest that dares patrons to have their "members" photographed and judged at the climax of the party. Add in vintage gay porn playing on screens around the bar and you've got yet another one of those nights that helps Fubar live up to its reputation as "not your father's gay bar."

I noticed that, if a folder contains certain japanese spam mails, the application blocks for several minutes. I traced this down to a bug in java.lang.String, which existed in the version I was running (1.4.2_02), but no longer exists in 1.4.2_06. If you have a similar problem, upgrade your Java installation !

The Intro section of the game introduces players to the seven different characters, makes the player choose three for a journey, then gets them on their way.
When the narrator has finished his speil, cycle through the seven Characters, hearing each of their back stories and hopes for the cave. It is important to note that the game experience will depend on which specific three characters are chosen. While there are some areas that are featured in every playthrough, each character has an area that requires their specific special ability to access.
Select a character and venture to the right. Using the interaction button, pick up the crowbar once it is highlighted (this is possible once the name of any interacted object appears). Take the opposite path from the beginning and head on to the left past the other characters. Once the barricade is highlighted, interact three times on the boards to clear the path forward. Once finished, DONT DROP THE CROWBAR - it will be needed again shortly.
Head left, getting used to the various controls the game has to offer (action/interact, powers, jump, drop item). Once past the first barricade it will be time to pick a second party member, take them through, then choose a third party member.
Head on down the tunnel to a large, non-climbable ledge. Go right here and using the action button on the crate to move it under this ledge.
As the narrator humorously suggests, all three party members will be needed here to break the bridge and venture onward. Place all three party members on the bridge, causing it to break and the characters falling into the pond near the gift shop.

Uses for colchicine
Colchicine is used to prevent or treat attacks of gout (also called gouty arthritis). This condition is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. An attack of gout occurs when uric acid causes inflammation (pain, redness, swelling, and heat) in a joint. Colchicine does not cure gout, but it will help prevent gout attacks. Colchicine is not an ordinary pain reliever and will not relieve most kinds of pain.
Colchicine is also used to treat a rare condition called familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in adults and children older than 4 years of age.
Colchicine may be used in 2 ways. Most people take small amounts of it regularly for a long time (months or even years) to prevent severe attacks or other problems caused by inflammation. Other people take large amounts of colchicine during a short period of time (several hours) only when the medicine is needed to relieve an attack that is occurring. The chance of serious side effects is much lower with the first (preventive) kind of treatment.
Because some of colchicine's side effects can be very serious, you should discuss with your doctor about the benefits that colchicine can do as well as the risks of using it.
Colchicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before using colchicine
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For colchicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to colchicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of colchicine in children with gout. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of colchicine in children with FMF. However, safety and efficacy of colchicine have not been established in children with FMF younger than 4 years of age.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of colchicine in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney or liver problems which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving colchicine.
|Pregnancy Category
|All Trimesters
|Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.
Studies in women suggest that this medication poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding.
Interactions with medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking colchicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using colchicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
- Amiodarone
- Atazanavir
- Boceprevir
- Clarithromycin
- Cobicistat
- Cyclosporine
- Darunavir

- Ciprofibrate
- Clofibrate
- Digoxin
- Fluvastatin
Interactions with food/tobacco/alcohol
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using colchicine with any of the following is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication, change some of the other medicines you take, or give you special instructions about the use of food, alcohol, or tobacco.
- Grapefruit Juice
Other medical problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of colchicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Alcohol abuse or
- Bowel problems or
- Stomach ulcer or other stomach problems—The chance of stomach upset may be increased. Also, colchicine can make some kinds of stomach or intestinal problems worse.
- Blood disorders (eg, aplastic anemia, granulocytopenia, leukopenia, pancytopenia, thrombocytopenia) or
- Muscle or nerve problems—Use with caution. May make these conditions worse.
- Kidney disease or
- Liver disease—Should not be used in patients with these conditions.
Proper use of colchicine
Take colchicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it, do not take more of it, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. Do not change your dose or stop using colchicine without checking first with your doctor.
Colchicine should come with a Medication Guide. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
You may take colchicine with or without food.
For patients taking small amounts of colchicine regularly (preventive treatment):
- Take colchicine regularly as directed by your doctor, even if you feel well. If you are taking colchicine to prevent gout attacks, and you are also taking another medicine to reduce the amount of uric acid in your body, you probably will be able to stop taking colchicine after a while. However, if you stop taking it too soon, your attacks may return or get worse. If you are taking colchicine for certain other medical conditions, you may need to keep taking it for the rest of your life.
- If you are taking colchicine to prevent gout attacks, ask your doctor to recommend other medicine to be taken if an attack occurs. Most people receiving preventive amounts of colchicine should not take extra colchicine to relieve an attack. However, some people cannot take the other medicines that are used for gout attacks and will have to take extra colchicine. If you are one of these people, ask your doctor to tell you the largest amount of colchicine you should take for an attack and how long you should wait before starting to take the smaller preventive amounts again. Be sure to follow these directions carefully.
For patients taking large amounts of colchicine only when needed to relieve an attack:
- Start taking colchicine at the first sign of the attack for best results.
- Stop taking colchicine as soon as the pain is relieved or at the first sign of nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or diarrhea . Also, stop taking colchicine when you have taken the largest amount that your doctor ordered for each attack, even if the pain is not relieved or none of these side effects occurs.
- The first few times you take colchicine, keep a record of each dose as you take it. Then, whenever stomach upset (nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, or diarrhea) occurs, count the number of doses you have taken. The next time you need colchicine, stop taking it before that number of doses is reached. For example, if diarrhea occurs after your fifth dose of medicine, take no more than four doses the next time. If taking fewer doses does not prevent stomach upset from occurring after a few treatments, check with your doctor.
- After taking colchicine tablets to treat an attack, do not take any more colchicine for at least 3 days. Also, after receiving the medicine by injection for an attack, do not take any more colchicine (tablets or injection) for at least 7 days. Elderly patients may have to wait even longer between treatments and should check with their doctor for directions.
- If you are taking colchicine for an attack of gout, and you are also taking other medicine to reduce the amount of uric acid in your body, do not stop taking the other medicine. Continue taking the other medicine as directed by your doctor.
Keep using colchicine for the full treatment time, even if you feel better after the first few doses.
Grapefruits and grapefruit juice may increase the effects of colchicine by increasing the amount of colchicine in your body. You should not eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while you taking colchicine.
The dose of colchicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of colchicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For oral dosage form (capsules):
- For prevention of gout flares:
- Adults—0.6 milligram (mg) one or two times a day. Your doctor may increase your dose as needed. However, the dose is usually not more than 1.2 mg per day.
- Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For prevention of gout flares:
- For oral dosage form (tablets):
- For familial Mediterranean fever (FMF):
- Adults and teenagers—1.2 to 2.4 milligrams (mg) given in one or two divided doses a day. Your doctor may adjust your dose as needed.
- Children 6 to 12 years of age—0.9 to 1.8 mg given in one or two divided doses a day.
- Children 4 to 6 years of age—0.3 to 1.8 mg given in one or two divided doses a day.
- Children younger than 4 years of age—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For gout attacks:
- Adults—1.2 milligrams (mg) at the first sign of a gout attack, followed by 0.6 mg after 1 hour. The dose is usually 1.8 mg over a 1 hour period.
- Children—Use is not recommended.
- For familial Mediterranean fever (FMF):
Missed dose
If you miss a dose of colchicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
Precautions while using colchicine
If you must take colchicine for a long time (preventive treatment), your doctor may want to check your progress at regular visits. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Stomach problems may be more likely to occur if you drink large amounts of alcoholic beverages while taking colchicine. Also, drinking too much alcohol may increase the amount of uric acid in your blood. This may lessen the effects of colchicine when it is used to prevent gout attacks. Therefore, people who take colchicine should be careful to limit the amount of alcohol they drink.
For patients taking small amounts of colchicine regularly (preventive treatment):
- Attacks of gout or other problems caused by inflammation may continue to occur during treatment. However, the attacks or other problems should occur less often, and they should not be as severe as they were before you started taking colchicine. Even if you think the colchicine is not working, do not stop taking it and do not increase the dose. Check with your doctor instead.
Colchicine can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
- If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor immediately if you think you are getting an infection or if you get a fever or chills, cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.
- Check with your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual bleeding or bruising, black, tarry stools, blood in the urine or stools, or pinpoint red spots on your skin.
- Be careful when using a regular toothbrush, dental floss, or toothpick. Your medical doctor, dentist, or nurse may recommend other ways to clean your teeth and gums. Check with your medical doctor before having any dental work done.
- Do not touch your eyes or the inside of your nose unless you have just washed your hands and have not touched anything else in the meantime.
- Be careful not to cut yourself when you are using sharp objects such as a safety razor or fingernail or toenail cutters.
- Avoid contact sports or other situations where bruising or injury could occur.
If your doctor tells you to increase the amount of medicine you are taking or if you are just starting colchicine, make sure you tell the doctor right away if you get muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

New England Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard is facing up to six years in prison after being found guilty of assaulting a police officer, a felony, and resisting arrest, according to the Lincoln Journal Star.
A former Nebraska star, Dennard had been charged with third-degree assault of an officer, resisting arrest and third-degree assault of a 22-year-old man following an incident on April 21. He was found not guilty on the charges involving the 22-year-old man. Dennard will be sentenced on April 11.
The week-long trial ended Wednesday, a day after a jury of four men and eight women failed to reach a verdict after six hours of deliberation. The jury sided with prosecution, which contended that Dennard punched a police officer outside a Lincoln bar.
The incident came just days before the 2012 NFL Draft, causing Dennard to free-fall down boards. The Patriots took a chance on Dennard in the seventh round, and he was an impact player in his rookie season, making seven starts and finishing with three interceptions.
Dennard had been in line to start for the Patriots at right cornerback in 2013, though Wednesday's guilty verdict might force a change in plans. With Dennard facing prison time, the Patriots might be more inclined to bring back Aqib Talib, a pending free agent.

Jay-Z Comes Out in Support of Gay Marriage
This is beautiful. Responding to President Obama's endorsement of gay marriage, commander-in-chief of hip-hop Jay-Z has weighed in with his own support of equality. In the video below, you can see Jay say:
It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination plain and simple...I think [announcing support of gay marriage is] the right thing to do, so whether it costs [Obama] votes or not — again, it's not about votes. It's about people. It's the right thing to do as a human being.
Here's a real evolution. As opposed to Obama's years of public tiptoeing around the idea that gay people are deserving of marriage equality, Jigga comes from a world where "faggot" is still said as if it's any other word. Jay's no stranger to it, either. In 1999's "Nigga What, Nigga Who (Originator 99)," he says, "Faggots wanna talk to Po-Po's, smoke em like cocoa." Meanwhile, in a response to Nas' implication that Jay himself is gay, Jay shot back in "Takeover" with, "You's the fag model for Karl Kani Esco ads." He's referenced Buju Banton's murder music and has repeatedly used the "no homo" stand-in "pause."
All of this is to say that here we have someone who's repeatedly on the record saying ignorant or unkind things regarding gays, who now has come out in support of their civil rights in the plainest language possible. Granted, it'd probably be exhausting to be so hateful all the time given his wife Beyoncé's own entourage of gays. And he's basically married to a drag queen in the first place (I mean that as a supreme compliment), so he was probably due for an evolution if he hasn't just felt this way all along.
None of that makes Jay's move less bold. It's a lot like Fat Joe's recent words in support of the gay community. Expect to see a lot more like this. Jay's wielding his influence like a public service.

On the Street…… Palais Royal, Paris
CommentsClose comment
143 comments
If I had worn that, I would have looked and felt grey , dowdy !
But she comes above that! Like a fairy!
She and her adorable kooky glasses are adorable. The stance just reinforces the beautiful, teen nerd image.
Oh my god, she is gorgeous!!! So simple, yet fabulous. I love the glasses on her, as I did on the previous post :)
this is definitely done but undone.
love her face, her glasses and above all: her smile.
cute girl.
Great style, I love the way she wears her scarf!
yay granny glasses!
That is seriously sexy. The big openness of the glasses complements the somewhat lazy quality to her eyes really well, and the dark blue tones (nicely picked up by the embroidery in the scarf) set off by the white look great, to me.
I visited Paris for the first time this fall, and the girls/women (I'm 22) made me want to stay. Unfortunately, I speak no French, so woe is me. Thanks for the photo!
The white t-shirt showing from under her dark sweater is an unconscious, yet very cool effect and stands out in a lovely way against her dark clothes. Though the pieces themselves may seem unremarkable alone, their effect together on this girl is effortlessly cool. And, of course, her glasses–what a great androgynous touch.
lover her glasses!
her glasses are extraordinary …i like it
There you go: it's all about the attitude. Black trousers, white tee and a darkblue cardi, some scarf with the usual pattern and those slightly moronic glasses (cf. the young lady below) = nothing without that posture and that look on her face. I'm loving it – and I'm going to rehearse it.
Her style is great! I really like the the colors she's wearing and the way she matched the scarf with her sweater and the glasses. I admire the fact that everything she is wearing is very laid back but chic at the same time.
Obviously I love the scarf. But I think maybe its more about the way she is holding it than about the scarf itself…. Also I gotta admit I keep a great attraction to women wearing white t-shirts. So maybe thats why I like this picture so much…
love this. simple. comfortable. warm. that used to be my uniform.
Simple and safe. It all seems very comfortable.
The thick frames and the pose transform her!
beautiful pose. beautiful scarf
Those glasses are so difficult to pull off well. She wears them beautifully.
she is wonderful!
I love her pose and her glasses!
Dang. I love her.
That sweater looks deliciously cozy! I love that it's lopsided at the hem so you see the white of the shirt underneath, keeping the outfit from being too monotone. Classic comfy style. Love it.
A younger, female version of Hamish Bowles. Glasses included. It is a lovely portrait – great draping.
love those glasses and the way her white tee peaks out from underneath her sweater.
A perfectly lovely young lady! Nice scarf!!
That is the most perfect wearing of the "boyfriend" sweater, ever. I'm inspired to sit down and knit one in that colour and yarn type. Excellent.
am loving these pics of women wearing pared down pieces and tailoring.
the t-shirt is cool.
this is pretty much my daily uniform:)
What a great scarf…wonderful photo!
wow! she can actually wear those glasses without looking ridiculous. must be because she has kept everything else so simple, hair, makeup.. and she's beautiful. i must say i really love your photos, they make all other street style pictures look… cheap
oddly elegant no?
obviously you're spot on with the photo composition; as for her she looks intentionally unkempt. I love it. I like the glasses too, actually. Cool! =)
Less is more… The different textures work perfectly. Even the t-shirt peeps out exquisitely. And alleluia, for big rimmed prescription glasses 'Ă la Emmanuelle Khan' are coming back!
What a beautiful shot. I love the chabby chic outfit, I love the glasses but most of all, I cannot stop looking at her eyes.
Nice colours (or shades, rather).
This is proof that one needs not a Gucci coat or Vuitton bag to be fashionable.
This is stylish, yet not overdone.
It's all about the attitude.
can i wear big black glasses like her?
she has a nice slender figure too
amazing, sat- you have a great eye. the beautiful girl makes it, the glasses help
Yes yes, very nice all around. Like her scarf, and her posing is more interesting than the usual.But god, those glasses. They're a trend for the supposed non-trendy, which is the worst kind, I think.
This girl is absolutely stunning! She makes you feel like you have know her for years! I love the clothes and all that, but to me that is second to what the whole image is saying! I wish could buy a print of this!
those glasses are a so good idea, as yesterday !
i love the geek style that they give to the whole look !
Great photograph! Her pose draws you amid the elongated lines of the street. Wonderful.
I am usually one to say that glasses are a downgrade to any face, but I have to say she pulls them off.
clean and classic. love the simplicity and the everydayness of the outfit.
wow.. i wish i could look that gorgeous in glasses that hideous :]the layering is fantastic.. so non chalant
I really like this look. It's nerd but still very cool. I like how the white shirt breaks the all dark balance.
I love this photo, so perfect!
the pieces alone are pretty, but together they are WOW.
i love simple looks like this–where there is great attention to colour: saturation, hue, contrasts and complements.
she's got great style!
Not gonna lie, she looks a bit mangy (skin + hair), but the comfortable look is great weekend look that makes me feel cozy just looking at it.
But the real reason why I'm posting is that her glasses = love. I adore them. I need them. Where can I get them??
she's fantastic!i love this intellectual-easy going style!!!
it's those big glasses again! in this picture you can see how they really make the outfit. on another note, her pose is beautiful. i wish the sartorialist could take a picture of everyone.
she is exquisite.
casual, yet very lady-like.
i love the scarf.
ilove her glasses.
her outfit appears individualistic in the sense it's more about comfort, less about making a big statement.

Now that is Sunday morning!
I love her glasses and the way that, without the scarf, the outfit would be sloppy. Also, very nice framing with the vanishing point of the block. Your job makes me quite jealous.
the glasses are so unique-chic. and i love oversized sweaters, so i'm very partial to this photo.
she looks fabulous, very simple and chic. i love her tortoise-shell glasses, i love her shawl… she looks perfect for me
very hot
If you read this post and you want to go for a coffee, let me know.
Voulez vouz faire une promenade avec moi madamoiselle?
The big, nerdy glasses are a thing in Paris, no? I asssume they are most of the time faux, just used for 'the look' and not for the other obvious purpose. Although it is very easy to see the beauty of these young women behind their glasses, they sort of distort it a little- I like this idea. It is like they are telling the world they have something important to say… something goin' on other than their beauty. Very cool.
i love her glasses!
Amazing! Just a proof that less is more (effort). The glasses however are very cool
I don't know if this outfit + glasses would have worked if she wasn't so tall and pretty, but for her, she is great, great, great. I love that sunday cosy casualness.
This girl reminds me very much to the singer Maike Ludenbach, she doesn't wear glasses, but if someone told me it is her, I would instantly believe it!
For the person(s) who want to get a pair of glasses like these- in NYC, you can go to the Sol Moscot store for the glasses, or online at their web site,
http://www.moscot.com/ . Also Fabulous Fanny's in the east village has lots of frames like these that are vintage.
nice pic, looking forward to the show at Danziger on tues!
Fantastic figger, good even features, flaxen hair, youth. What she's wearing barely counts. She's got youth.
i like how you photographed her
Another lovely photo, a portrait.
Wow. Do you ever have one of those moments where you see an image of someone and do a double take, because it reminds you of yourself so much??
It's like my long lost sister is staring back at me from the screen.
What a strange feeling. Wonderful that most people think she looks great. I hope I carry myself that well!
So effortless and beautiful!
I still can't figure out how these women do it! Arg!
a female Woody Allen, not as attractive as she might be
Geek chic, not for everyone but she is very sexy. Great pose & composition once again Sart.
so-"the Devil wears Prada"-kind of look. very nerdy chic <3
Good God, she's fabulous!
Love the glasses! Oversized frames are coming back, and this young lady is ahead of the curve.
also want to see her shoes !
A very "Chloe Sevigny" vibe here – this is definitely the lady in the movie who removes her "secretarial" glasses and becomes a great beauty in one gesture.
The self-embracing posture is lovely: vulnerable and a bit posed. All in all, cinematic.
when a person needs glasses, they should wear GLASSES. i think this young ladies casual elegance only serves as proof.
Merveilleux, Sart. J'aime la manière qu'elle regarde. Ses lunettes font son ressembler Ă une roche tenir le premier rĂ´le. Sa Ă©charpe de Paisley est 'da bomb.'
geek chic! me likee.
The first word that comes into my head is "cozy". I think the grey scarf around wrapped around her made the outfit. Though I will not call the glasses "fashionable", they made the style real and natural. So, yes, I do like the glasses.
Such a great look. I am very curious: what shoes was she wearing?
This girl does look very pretty.
But i'm wondering : how come there are never any fat (or just slightly overweight) classy women on this site ?
Sometimes there are fat men, never any fat women. Can't fat women be stylish too ?
Adorable :)
Scarlett Johansson ? :-)
Great look! I want the glasses – the narrow tiny frames don't work for me at all, where can I get them???
Geek chic. Great pose.
The style & look make me think of Chloe Sevigny!
She looks American to me…
I have glasses like this. Oliver Peoples has this style in different sizes. The salesperson kept showing sizes that were smaller and more appropriate but I kept insisting, "no, they really have to be a little oversize". Also American Apparel is currently selling frames very similar to this. My glasses were a big hit among the cool kids in Paris. Some clueless folks asked if i was wearing my grandfather's glasses. pfft.
I don't really see anything extraordinary about her clothes, but her attitude and natural youthful beauty are certainly arresting.
Bien dans sa peau. Nice.
i think the fact that she can wear ugly glasses but still look very pretty adds to her prettiness… kind of like when women with gorgeous faces shave their heads. your brain automatically compensates, in a way, and increases the attraction.
she's so effortlessly stylish. i guess you have to be born with it. i would look like i had the flu if i wore that.
I've been wanting to do glasses like this for a while, but have been hesitant. Now I'm doing it! I think these are Oliver Peoples, I've tried on sooo many pairs. I love her.
lovely glasses! MUMS
i wish i can pull this look. perfection!!
Her glasses are so charming. Geek chic :)
She's cute, my kinda girl.
She looks effortlessly chic, but I have to say, would this ensemble look as good one someone not as svelte, cute, or as young?
Also, love the glasses on her – are big frames back for eyeglasses?
Great pic for the air of irony… that she looks like she's trying to disguise herself, as if she layered herself up in casual attire to avoid attention, but the great color palette, fitted pants, bulky sweater and patterned scarf seem too deliberate and make you look at her. (Oh, and she's quite pretty behind the glasses- almost embarrassed by her good looks?)
P.S. Happy premiere to you, Scott. And best of luck on your show!
I love this, my ideal college outfit, look's so cool! And I love her skarf
Everyone should wear glasses like that! Everyone!
Love the softness of this photo, she looks like she's comfortable in her clothes, great pose..
I wonder what kind of shoes she was wearing. Mr. Sart, could you please tell me?
P.S.- you do excellent background work, the angled street behind her really draws one in
does anybody know that perfect girl?
Personally, I think this is one of your best shots.
It's too rehearsed. She stole this look from someone else and is using it to cover up whatever perceived flaws she has. She could be just as pretty without the look.
the white t-shirt makes the outfit "pop". she is very sweet with a quirkiness that is very appealing.
She looks like a young Claude Jade
Love this picture. Simple yet subtly elegant.
She looks really comfortable. :)
I like her glasses, though I think a cooler coloured frame would suit her eyes better.
Everyone likes the glasses. But what do glasses actually mean? That the person can't see very well. Is this sexy? And then these big glasses, obviously all the rage, drag the face down, and make it look as if you have circles under your eyes. I suppose it's a faux intellectual look, trying to look as if you read so much you've ruined your eyes. I don't get it.
I got a scarf like that for my birthday and I didnt like it, but seeing now that it can look amazing with such clothes, makes me want to wear it more often!!
this picture makes ma even want more these glasses. great, simple, amazing.
There's a salesgirl at E4G here in Barcelona who has these glasses – I've been wanting them ever since I saw here a few weeks ago. Look out trendspotters!
im in love.
Seriously, i am.
What street was she on Sart?
this is a great shot
This beautiful woman shows that you don't have to expose flesh to look sexy. Her poise and good figure shines through.
please tell me who this girl is. I want her to be in my film. she is everything I've been looking for!

Oh that is wonderful! She looks so chic and simple. Love it!
i feel i have to say that the outfit is fine- not understated just rather boring. compare her to the incredible girl below and i think you can see how much cooler it is when a look is taken to the extreme. the girl below is probably what inspired someone like this to go for the glasses in the first place…
and i dont think the white tee shirt denotes any particular fashion sense.
This has to be one of ur best pictures.. Look at how the picture pulls her into focus, and slightly blurs the background.
I cant focus on the fashion because I'm too engrossed in the lines and the focus.
Hello… a young Julie Delpy! The serene look on her face makes the pic.
Why can't I look like this?
Most women have their hair parted slighty on the side, giving the face a positive frame. Yet the photographed young woman has parted it in the middle. Not many can do that without looking horrible. Then do her glasses take care of a little edgyness for her hair, otherwise she could ahve looked like a geek.
A note to fashion, wearing glasses when one does not need them is, in my opinion, not even worth metioning. Why? The only people having the right to wear glasses are people who actually have an eyesight problem!
Could the sweater be a ralph lauren?cause i got one like hers from ralph
Sart if you happen to come to Amsterdam let (us,me,the world?) know
I love her look, perfect photo!
She's pretty enough to know she doesn't need to try so hard. Like too many other women.
love the pose! her quirky 80′s look eye glasses are too cool…she looks great!
What a presence! She carries herself with confidence and style; it wouldn't matter what she was wearing.
i got the best frames ever from mr trapp on madison, round 47th i think, on the left as your'e going up. this guy is a true artisan. you cant find frames like that anywhere in australia. its all big brand stuff here. i miss NYC….
The picture makes me think of ChloĂ« Sevigny.. the hair, the face and glasses (from one of Sevigny's movies). Even the clothes in natural dark colors is something she wores in that movie, think it was that movie with Jake Gyllenhaal..if she wears grey clothes in private, I don´t know.. not on the red carpet, for sure.. seen her in pink, green and blue outfits. Like the softness in the picture. the scarf makes it all!
So sad that there are so few girls with this kind of elegance….RT
Love the glasses and her attitude! She's obviously confident no matter what she's wearing ;)
those dancing days………
I'm completely in love with her
Ya i am in love with her too!!
But i am showing my respect to the photographer who done his job perfectly!
definitely a favorite
brilliant. love her.
i love the casual put-togetherness of this look. her pants are well cut and they don't distract from the stuff going on with her top and various accessories. the way she wrapped her arms around her body and her half-smile just draws me in. i love this look. unfortunately cannot even try and do anything like it, as i live in singapore. bummer.
I. Love. This.
that's all I have to say…
Mignonne Ă croquer!!!

The statue honoring Steve Gleason's blocked punt against the Atlanta Falcons signifying the New Orleans Saints' "Rebirth" as a franchise is one of the coolest, most beautiful ideas ever realized at an NFL stadium.
Play fantasy football on NFL.com
Why play fantasy football anywhere else? This season, GO LEGIT with the official free fantasy football game of the NFL.
That's why the Atlanta Falcons' decision not to allow their logo on the statue seemed so petty and small. We wondered if Atlanta's refusal was payback for the way the Saints celebrated Drew Brees' passing record against them late last regular season.
Falcons president Rich McKay tried to explain Atlanta's reasoning to ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas.
"When they brought it to us, we discussed it with them and we came to the conclusion that, obviously the fact they're honoring the moment is fantastic," McKay said. "We were all there. It was an incredible moment for the city. It was not something that we wanted to memorialize the game. So we kind of looked at it as though we didn't want necessarily a statue in front of the building that had our marks.
"Albeit, we all understand how important the moment was for the city and what they had gone through. We all lived in that moment and it was a pretty special thing. Even losing, it was still a pretty special thing. But it was just something that when we talked to the league about it, we said we didn't think it was appropriate to put the marks on it. Everybody knew what the game was. Everybody knew what the moment was."
Translation: It was a great moment, but we aren't going to help out our rivals in any way.

NCAA Tournament 2013 Midwest Region — Day 2
After six games in the Midwest Region on Thursday, the NCAA Tournament features only two contests Friday.
Second-seeded Duke shook off the ghost of last year's stunning early exit by polishing off the Albany Great Danes .The region's other game saw 10th-seeded Cincinnati come up short against All-American Doug McDermott and seventh-seeded Creighton.
(2) Duke 73, (15) Albany 61
Last year, Duke was a #2 seed that was stunned in the second round by Lehigh, but history was not going to repeat itself. Duke maintained a comfortable lead throughout the day en route to finishing off Albany. The Blue Devils rode the hot hands of Seth Curry (26 points) and Mason Plumlee (23 points, nine rebounds) to victory. The pair led a very efficient Duke offense that shot 59% from the field. Jacob Iati led the Great Danes with 15 points.
(7) Creighton 67, (10) Cincinnati 63
In a back and forth affair where no team could pull away, Creighton held on to move to the round of 32. Bluejays All-American Doug McDermott was brilliant, posting 27 points (including a perfect 10 for 10 from the free throw line) and 11 rebounds. Creighton was up by six with under a minute to play, and Cincinnati cut it one, but could get no closer and Sean Kilpatrick missed an off-balance 3 to tie the game with less than 10 seconds to play. This game may have very well been won at the free throw line, where Creighton scored 22 points, compared to four by Cincinnati. The Bearcats were led by Kilpatrick's 19 points.

We have a lot of work to do in Jacket land and Howson doesn't seem to find any help unless they come from the Oilers and they are old.
Howson sat on a team that finished 14th the year before and 13th this year. He still has his job and Nash still has no help.

Title: The Most Precise Distances to Type Ia Supernovae
Abstract: Using low-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia), we have identified a correlation between SN ejecta velocity and intrinsic color. This new result has significant implications for the precision with which we can measure SN Ia distances. Using this knowledge, we have reduced the intrinsic scatter in the peak magnitudes from 0.17 mag to 0.11 mag. Measuring the ejecta velocity also avoids several potentially large systematic biases in measuring the amount of host-galaxy extinction, which directly affects the estimated distances. We have recently confirmed the existence of this relationship at high redshift, but now need to test if the intrinsic color of SN Ia evolves with redshift. We propose to constrain the color evolution using SN Ia discovered with Pan- STARRS and spectra from Gemini/GMOS. These data will provide the most precise distances to high-redshift SN Ia yet, which will in turn make the inferences on dark energy properties both more precise and more accurate.

Interesting Facts and History About Culinary Arts
Want to know some interesting facts about culinary arts? Well, as most people know, the culinary arts revolve around culinary arts and food, and they include everything from restaurant management and hospitality management to food science and food safety. Someone who works in any of these areas is called a "culinarian," and that includes everyone from food service workers to creators of the fantastic pastry arts.
Historical Facts
The history of the culinary arts is a rather long one. Some historical facts about culinary include these interesting facts about culinary arts. In the U.S., the first culinary school opened in the 1800s, but culinary arts were well under way in Europe from Medieval times onward. There were many cookbooks published or handwritten from Medieval times to more modern history, and Le Cordon Blue Schools, one of the most renowned in the world, opened in Paris in 1895, after a long history of collecting recipes and publishing a food recipe magazine. Cookbooks and cooking schools have continued to be popular into modern times, and there is a surge of interest in the culinary arts right now.
Cooking Schools
One of the best places to learn interesting facts about culinary arts include some of the nation's best cooking schools. They can prepare a student for a career in food and beverage, as everything from a chef to a practitioner of pastry arts, and they offer many different opportunities for learning, as well. They offer classes to the home cook to make them more accomplished, and offer classes online and in the evenings, so students can still hold down a job while they learn a new career. Some of the most well-known and respected cooking schools include Le Cordon Blue Schools, the Culinary Institute of America, (CIA), and Johnson & Wales University.
A Career in Culinary Arts
If you want to learn more interesting facts about culinary arts, try watching the Food Network, or attending a class at your local cooking school or community college. They offer instruction at every level, and you can begin to see if a career in culinary arts is really what you're looking for. Remember, a career in this area can be much more than a career in food and beverage. Today, America's top chefs host their own cooking shows, write cookbooks, and even travel the world in search of culinary adventures. They create reality TV shows, endorse their own lines of cookware, and far beyond, so today, a career in culinary can mean more than working with and loving food, it can mean fame and fortune, too.
A Recipe for Success
What do you need for a career in the kitchen? A great love of food helps, and of course, you should like to cook! A good palate for tastes and textures is important to the budding chef, and if you want a career in pastry, you should love to bake and understand the science of cooking. A good cooking school specializing in the culinary arts can help you discover just what type of cooking and cuisine suits you best, so choose your school wisely. A career in the culinary arena can lead to great success, and for many chefs, that culminates in opening their own signature restaurants. Are you the next Wolfgang Puck or Mario Batali? You'll never know unless you check out the culinary arts as a step on your career ladder.

Steam's annual holiday sale starts today. Before you empty your wallet, here are some helpful tips to make sure you get the most for your money and catch the titles you really want.
If you're not familiar with Steam's regular sales, the Summer Sale is usually around mid July (US Summer) and the and Winter sale is around Christmas. Both can net gamers huge discounts on popular titles released during the first half of the year — and the first half of 2013 were particularly awesome. Even popular, best-selling and newly released titles can see huge discounts to the tune of 75-90 per cent off in some cases. Those discounts are hard to resist, but there's a method to Steam's madness. Here's how to get the games you want for as little as possible.
Fill Up Your Wishlist Now
One of Steam's best features is that they will send you an email alert when a game on your wishlist goes on sale. It's both a blessing and a curse — you'll be able to jump right on that sale, but you also may jump on a sale that's a little premature. We'll get to how to tell when your favourite game is discounted as deep as it's going to get in a second, but for the time being go ahead and load up your wishlist with titles you've been meaning to check out. That way you'll at least be notified, and you won't miss them.
Know Your Steam Sale Types
Each steam sale has four different types of discounts going on at the same time:
- The broad, store-wide discount that any game not released in the past six months gets. This discount is usually anywhere between 25 per cent to 75 per cent.
- Daily deals, where selected games are on sale for 24-48 hours. These discounts are generally a bit steeper, but still in the 50-75 per cent range. These are the deals you get to sleep on if you want to.
- Flash sales, where selected games are on sale for 12-14 hours. These are the ones you may have thought were daily deals and wound up missing. Sucks, doesn't it? Discount levels are the same, but the clock runs out faster.
- Community deals, where Steam users vote for one of three games to get a discount. These deals last about a day, and you can weigh in on which one you want. The result is up to the community, but it's usually the biggest title or the steepest discount that wins.
When to Buy, and When to Skip
Don't buy a game unless it's a daily deal or a flash sale. You may be tempted by one of the general store discounts, but don't do it. Those titles will likely go further on sale somewhere before the end of the week, and you'll miss out on a deeper discount. If your favourite game doesn't go on a daily deal or a flash sale before the end of the sale, you can pick it up on the last day at the same discount that it got on the first day — you'll just know that's as good as it's going to get.
If you miss your favourite game as a daily deal or flash sale, do not buy it anyway. The last day of the Steam Sale is almost always an Encore Sale, where the most popular daily deals and flash sales come back at the same discounts. That's when you get to buy whatever you missed — or whatever else you may want.
This thread at GameFAQs sums up these rules pretty clearly, and some of the other posters there offer a few more points to consider when shopping Steam sales, but these are the big two takeaways.
The Exception: Buy Bundles Any Time You Want
Publisher bundles are almost always ridiculously deep discounts. If you're looking at an Activision bundle or a Eidos bundle and wondering if those prices will get any better, stop wondering and just buy it. The side effect is that you wind up with a bunch of games you may not want to play, but it can be a fantastic discount for a lot of games if everything in the bundle interests you.
Before you buy any game on sale, make sure to check a publisher bundle to see if the game is discounted in the bundle as well. You never know, it may be a steeper discount in the bundle than it is on its own. It's not very likely, but you should always check first. While you're at it, check DLC (Downloadable Content) prices. Sometimes a title you want has a lot of DLC that's also on sale too for as little as $1, and it's worth buying them all together.
How to Know When You're Getting the Biggest Discount
Daily deals and flash sales offer the deepest discounts Steam will offer. That means if you see Bioshock Infinite for sale for 60 per cent off as a flash sale, even if it comes back, you won't get it any cheaper than that. You probably won't see that though — as the Scientific Gamer notes, new games that have been recently released will usually only get a 25-40 per cent cut. Grab it if you really really want it, but deeper discounts will come in the next few months. 50-66 per cent off are modest discounts, worth jumping on if you want the title or have been meaning to pick it up, and if the title is an Indie or a cheap game anyway, go for it. You run the risk of seeing a steeper discount after the sale is over, but probably not. Anything discounted 75 per cent or more is the cheapest you'll ever see it on Steam. Go for it.
Use Technology to Help You
If you don't want to be bothered with emails from Steam, check out the Steam mobile apps for Android and iOS. You can keep track on the sales anywhere you go, and if there's a flash sale, you'll be able to check the prices from your smartphone.
Similarly, check out Enhanced Steam for Chrome and Firefox. The extension gives you full price histories for the games you browse, helps you avoid buying DLC you already own, notifies you when a game you're looking at has third-party DRM (worthwhile for finding out if a game requires Games for Windows Live or Ubisoft's UPlay before you buy it and find out), and shows you how much you're really saving on a bundle purchase. If you haven't tried it, it's worth installing.
Finally, if you use Steam Wallet to make your purchases, load it up ahead of time. You don't want to get stuck in the last moments of a sale trying to add funds and then process a sale only to be denied because the transactions are taking too long. For more suggestions, check out this post over at GHacks.
With these tips, you won't buy a game only to find it's a daily deal and thus a steeper discount later in the week, and you won't miss a sale hoping it'll come back at some point later on only to find out it never does. Keep an eye out for your favourite titles, make your wishlist in advance, set a budget for yourself (seriously, otherwise you will empty your wallet), and have fun. Then spend some time actually playing through your backlog so you can get to the games you just bought.

Oregon Badlands Wilderness
The Oregon Badlands Wilderness holds a number of remarkable and exciting landforms and geologic features. Most of the area includes the rugged Badlands volcano, which has features of inflated lava. Windblown volcanic ash and eroded lava make up the sandy, light-colored soil that covers the low and flat places in these fields of lava. Dry River, active during each of several ice ages, marks the southeast boundary between two volcanic areas—Badlands volcano and the Horse Ridge volcanoes. Earth movements along the Brothers Fault Zone have faulted and sliced up the old Horse Ridge volcanoes, but not Badlands volcano. The Badlands formed in an unusual way. The flow that supplied lava to the Badlands apparently developed a hole in the roof of its main lava tube. This hole became the source of lava that built a shield volcano that we call the Badlands (technically, a rootless shield volcano). An irregularly-shaped pit crater at the top of the shield marks the site where lava flowed in all directions to create the Badlands.
A variety of wildlife species inhabit the area including yellow-bellied marmots, bobcat, mule deer, elk, and antelope. The southern portion of the Badlands Wilderness includes crucial winter range for mule deer. Avian species include prairie falcons and golden eagles.
You can also explore cracked volcanic pressure ridges, called tumuli, or walk narrow moat-like cracks in the ground. Traces of human history are visible to the careful observer. At 29,000 acres, the Oregon Badlands Wilderness represents an outstanding example of ancient western juniper woodlands atop Columbia River Basalts. Almost 50 miles of trails offer the visitor many opportunities for hiking or horseback riding loops of various lengths.
As a designated wilderness, the Oregon Badlands Wilderness enjoys the highest level of permanent protection!
