On the Street…Dresses That (go to) Work, part 1

Yeah, she got the balance…She looks wonderful. Good job!
This could be a lifestyle ad for New York! Like how simple this look is: black and silver – but the mirrored aviators make it really now. Very aspirational.
She is the definition of beauty. Black again! At least the dress has a waistline.
without te sunglasses… it could be very classic. nice dress
The shoes, the dress , everything just right. She looks GREAT!
I love the composition of the photo, and the yellow color spots (taxi, street lights) on grayish background ;o)
It makes me want to move to NY and buy Rayban aviators! Great composition and light in the photo.
Smokin hot!
This is going to be one of your classic portraits, its an amazing picture.
I don't see a lot of young women wearing dresses to work nowadays. She looks wonderful. I love the cuff. And her shoes aren't black, are they? Love it too.
Good lord, man! You have outdone yourself. She is la bombe! By that I mean she is perfectly put together in terms of style and very healthy, not anemic. I don't want to be a sexist bore.
(But I love her!)
Dresses for work are the best! I am looking forward to seeing others! I have many for the winter, but am having a hard time finding some for the summer.
wow, a perfect picture! she looks great – wonderful smile and the hair blowing across her face adds to the spontaneity of it all. and fabulous NY background. i want to be there right now!
laser like focus on a modern, cosmopolitan woman..bravo!
Is it me (or my monitor), or are the shoes actually burgundy?
Great photo!
Nice! Can't wait to see part 2 and 3.
Thank heavens, the dress is back and you were able to position that cab in just the right spot. Now I'm looking forward to summer.
Love the aviators and waistline of the dress and the cuff. But the dark eggplant shoes don't work with the black dress.
She looks great, although bare legs and stilettos don't seem very "office appropriate." At least not in my office anyway…
your work is a phenomenon! you were the first one with this kind of art, and the people you choose have their very own style!
great great work!!!
fresh beauti
I would so love to work in a job wear you could actually wear something like that……Actually, no, I wouldn't.
I love working in a hospital……
The dress is nice, but that's it..
She looks Italian, which is a good thing. The taxi guy must prefer blonds. To bad he missed out. That guy in the back ground is like me, whenever I see a stylish sexy woman, my ears perk up. Ahhh N.Y., wish I were there, just to hang out.
For Anon 9:23
Without the sunglasses it would be just ordinary. The glasses are a tasteful expression of personality that makes the lifts this above the ordinary.
I love the sort of look where 90% of the outfit is conservative and classic but one thing (necktie, suspenders, jacket lining, socks, etc.) is a little crazy.
fabulous ! love those aviators against her tanned complexion :D
purple pumps. love love love
classic dress, but a bit boring…
I hate to see any black in warm weather, nice dress, wish it wasn't blk!
Don't like that poofy little pouch in the front of the dress and the shoes are way over the top, especially for work. Hate to be the voice of negativity, but I am going to be the odd one out and say I don't like this look.
Bergdorfs working girl…great shot!
This is what I aspire to.
I love the combination of the classic dress with the edgy aviators. She looks put together but not too contrived.
Well done.
This is one of many times when I wish you would give us the info on the clothes!! Who makes the dress because I must have it! If it is in my price range! Exclamation point!
She looks great! Very nice photo!
She looks divine! I adore how her hair has been blown unintentionally.
FABULOUS dress! Love the pointed waistline and the coloured shoes and the silver cuff.
Now THAT'S a great look. She is professional, sexy, stylish, and pretty all at once. Let's have more dress pics.
Hot lady. Period.
she looks amazing!
sart we <3 you!!!
QUq! Her stilletto heels lift her above the ordinary and into the realm of the fantastic and born to riches.
beautiful! you look SO good – im going to copy that !
I love the Sartorialist blog. Candid photography has always been my favorite kind of imageryÔÇŽcapturing the fleeting moments in life in a way that preserves the spirit of the moment is really quite amazing. Well, the Sartorialist is all about capturing these moments as people ÔÇślive their fashionÔÇÖ.
This photo caught my eye this morning. A seemingly unassuming moment with a story to tell.
fashionfatwa said…
the dark eggplant shoes don't work with the black dress.
Really?? Why??? I am so glad I don't live in your world.
This is a great look — the shoes not being black is just part of what rocks this look.
She looks very well pulled together. I do think it's too severe, though.
And holy sunburn!
I absolutely love this woman and her dress!! I love her smile, the way her hair came accross her face and she laughed! She's lovely.
it's a nice dress, but what really makes the outfit is her attitude. the silver of the cuff and aviators add some interest but otherwise it's nothing spectacular (to me). to me she looks indian, especially since she's wearing the red string bracelet. i could be wrong though.
[email protected]:38 AM: there's nothing necessarily sexist about having your own particular taste in women. if you like them to look healthy you like them to look healthy. if others like them skinny they like them skinny.
Looks great! I went out immediately and bought a similar dress.
I love that the shoes are purple/aubergine – I bet they look amazing in real life……
everything about this is cool! i love it…
I love how this woman slightly alterned her look by adding the aviators glasses and shiny silver bangle. I also love how the wind is blowing her gorgeously shiny hair across her smiling face. So feminine and chic.
Anyone know who the shoes are by?
shopping bags to work?
and the crossed leg details.
and is that a red bracelet?
I love the dress, the cuff and the bracelet. The aviators –a bit out of scale. Hair –great, smile wonderful, earrings great. The shoes bother me. I think it's both the toe and also the height that somehow seem not so thought out.
Let's put it this way: she'd better have a job where she sits a lot or in five years, she'll be getting a bunionectomy.
love it/you just couldn't inspired any better…love ya love ya Schuman
The best looking woman I've seen on here–ever. Maybe one of the best looking women I've ever seen. It's amazing how simple everything is and yet, how complicated, and much less attractive, most women's fashion is these days. It's almost like, "how unique and odd can I look?" Not, "how good can I look?" And this woman has got it down.
she looks perfect! I wear dresses to work all summer (it turning into winter here in Australia and I'm sad no more dresses!) I can only hope that I look half as good as she does!
Best things are simple!
She just looks lovely!
I especially love how she's standing so cool and relaxed on a crossing. I've only been to New York once but I felt like I was taking my life in my hands at every crossing!
She looks great in that dress! I must say that dresses are my salvation when I have to go to work. More than one will turn to look at you. Feel the experience of wearing a dress on the street. It will make your day…
Timeless. Why can't she work in my office.
A quick note on the shoes. One thing that I notice where I live is that the young women around here always forget about the shoes. The thin, clean line of the stiletto is perfect choice. A lesser shoe would have killed the whole lot.
Nice aviators. She's got it going on, with some smokin' footwear too. She knows that accessories make or break your look.
…simply love it!
It captured my attention immediately. She looks confident, fresh and feminine..
oh wow. this really feels like ny.
I simply love this photo! There is such life to it…beautiful capture! Your enviable eye for composition surpasses the fashion so much of the time. I love seeing the fashion, of course, but equally love seeing how you set up a shot. :-)
Love, love, love… Sporting the all black uniform with simplicity and style! Bravo!
Yeah she looks cool….
Damn cool !!

Maintaining Software
I have been reading a good number of articles about how to keep your software up to date on your computer (portupgrade) but can't find someone explain one thing I can't understand. So I install some large software using ports, say Gnome as it takes me about 2-3 days to compile it on my computer, so naturally I would install this with a package. But eventually, new versions of the software comes out (or since I installed it from a package, there may be a newer port already out) and portupgrade will try to install this new version using ports (assuming a package hasn't been released yet) when I run the -a command to keep everything up to date and begin the 2 day process. I don't know how to avoid this problem unless I specifically use caution to portupgrade every individual piece of software instead of using -a until a package release comes out. Is there a better approach to this?
Another thing: it would seem to me like every time I want to upgrade something I should use -rR commands with portupgrade to keep everything consistent, but I often find articles being very inconsistent with using -rR or just -r or -R or nothing at all. Is it typical to always use -rR and why not if you dont?
2, 3 days to finish Gnome compilation? You gotta be joking!
The 1st time I installed FreeBSD, then I tried out Gnome, it took me ~6 hours.
Recently I have upgraded the ports manually, go to the website, download the latest version and compile it with traditional way, ./configure ; make ; make install
You can specify ports portupgrade should leave alone in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf with the HOLD_PKGS option.
HOLD_PKGS = [ 'bsdpan-*', 'nvidia*', 'libGL*', 'jdk*', ]
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
You'll get lots of opinions on this, so let me start. First, if you want to use packages you should use the -stable repository. Otherwise over time you will be limited to the packages that were available at the release (such as 6.3, for example). See the -P flag on portupgrade. If you must use a package, see that it is available first.
I don't use pakages much, and honestly am surprised that it takes you two to three days to update Gnome. The whole thing takes about eight hours for me, and my system is pretty old.
On upgrading philosophy, I try to avoid "portupgrade -a" whenever possible. Usually I track a few major metaports, such as xorg and gnome, and a bunch of smaller ones. The metaports often require attention from /usr/port/UPDATING, but between minor versions usually a "portupgrade -R" gets all the pieces. So if you work top down, -R does it. Only rarely do I start at a low level and build everything depending on it unless it is something like gnutls and UPDATING instructs one to do so.
The other thing you have to answer is "why do you want to upgrade?" Certainly you have to on a somewhat regular basis, but there really is no need to do so that often unless you need a new feature or are fixing a bug. I've found over the years that I usually introduce as many new bugs as are fixed, so I limit my updating to once every two months or so on my desktop system unless I am chasing something I need (like the recent moused issues with xorg). Monsters like openoffice I only do when they break, which is usually once every year. I almost never update ports on my servers unless I *really* need to.
It is also useful to learn how to use HOLD_PKG in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.
Some ports too require tools other than portupgrade. ImageMagick seems not to work with portupgrade any more (it reports a broken Makefile) but portmaster works fine.
For me there is a lot of art involved with updating if you have a lot of ports installed like I do. So every two months or so I leave a day on the weekend to update the whole computer. It mostly works on the first shot, but there are always a few that need more digging. Others do it differently, of course, but I've managed to keep things going pretty well since 4.8 was cutting edge.
I remember Gnome... I setup an installation of 7.0-Release for testing and figured I'd try gnome, over 2 hours of pkg_add later every thing worked (it was not a test machine I would want to compile gnome on).
DrJ poses a good mind set imho, "why do you want to upgrade?".
With how much of a pain it can be at times, it makes sense to upgrade when there is reason or necessary rather then staying up to the minute.
Portupgrade is a great utility and worth learning to use if you ever touch ports. I've given up on it for most things, but still find it useful. When I upgrade things on my systems, I usually do it in a 'rip' and 'replace' manor anyway.

|Head Coach
|10 Years
|(919) 668-5791
Cemented as one of the top coaches in college lacrosse, John Danowski has led the Duke men's lacrosse team to unprecedented success and himself to the top over the Division I men's lacrosse wins list. Danowski was introduced as Duke's eighth head men's lacrosse coach on July 21, 2006 and quickly led the Blue Devils to some of the most successful lacrosse seasons in school history, which included three NCAA Championships in a five-year span.
In Danowski's 12 years at the helm of the Blue Devils lacrosse program, he has compiled an impressive 180-55 record in leading Duke to seven ACC regular season titles and four ACC tournament titles, nine appearances in the national semifinals from 2007-14 and 2018, five in the NCAA title match and ultimately to the 2010, 2013 and 2014 national titles. The 2014 NCAA crown put Danowski, a winner of 399 career games, among a small group of nine coaches to win three national titles and among eight to capture consecutive crowns. Meanwhile, Duke's run of eight straight NCAA semifinals rank as the second most of any program since 2000 with Syracuse. Danowski, with a 399-194 record, owns the most wins among Division I head coaches and will become just the third coach across all three divisions to record 400 career wins. He passed Dom Starsia as the winningest Division I lacrosse history in 2017, garnering his 376th win with a 13-6 victory over Jacksonville.
A winner of nearly 80 percent of his games at Duke, the individual awards Blue Devil players have garnered is equally impressive. In 11 seasons, Danowski mentored 64 All-America selections, 36 All-ACC choices, two Tewaaraton Trophy winners, a pair of USILA Attackman of the Year honorees, a USILA Defenseman of the Year, three USILA Midfielder of the Year award recipients and 21 USILA Scholar All-America picks.
While the success on the field is unsurpassed in Duke lacrosse history, the student-athletes excellence in the classroom also is unrivaled. The Blue Devils consistently lead the ACC in All-ACC Academic picks as well as players on the ACC Academic Honor Roll. In 2018, Duke had 36 players – 77 percent of the team – achieve a 3.0 grade point average for the entire academic year, while Justin Guterding was named the ACC Student-Athlete of the Year and a USILA Scholar All-American.
Duke, after winning consecutive NCAA titles in 2013 and 2014, returned to championship weekend in 2018 where it ultimately fell to Yale in national championship game.
Ranked as the preseason No. 1, Duke came up just short against the first-time champion Bulldogs in a 13-11 setback. The Blue Devils finished the season with a 16-4 overall record, marking the seventh time in program history they have reached the 16-win mark.
Danowski, widely considered one of the best teachers of the game, consistently mentors individual players to great heights and 2018 was no different as Justin Guterding was named a Tewaaraton Award finalist – the seventh Blue Devil under Danowski to earn the distinction – and left his name in the NCAA records book as Division I's all-time goal scorer with 212. Guterding is only the second player in Division I history to score 200 goals in his career.
Overall in 2018, Duke landed five on the All-America list, including three first-team choices in Guterding, Brad Smith and Cade Van Raaphorst, which ties for the second most in Duke history, and a record-tying five on the All-ACC squad. With Danowski spearheading coaching efforts on offense along with his son, Matt Danowski, the Blue Devils ranked fourth nationally in scoring offense at 13.60 goals per game. And with Danowski's defensive principles as the base, Duke was one of two teams to have its scoring offense and scoring defense ranked in the top 12.
The 2017 season was a solid one for the Blue Devils as they posted a 13-5 overall record and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals before falling to eventual NCAA runner-up Ohio State. The Blue Devils finished second in the ACC regular season standings. The highlight of 2017 came when Danowski surpassed Dom Starsia as the winningest Division I men's lacrosse coach, winning his 376th career game. He tied the mark with a thrilling victory over Loyola and passed the record two days later against Jacksonville.
Duke, in 2017, tied a program-high five All-ACC selections with goalkeeper Danny Fowler being the first Blue Devil goaltender to win the honor since 2005.
In 2015 and 2016, the Blue Devils went a combined 23-14 overall and suffering back-to-back NCAA first-round exits for the first time in program history. Despite, not making it to championship weekend in those two seasons, Duke achieved its fair share of success. It advanced to ACC title games in both seasons, collected seven All-America awards, two Tewaaraton Award finalists and two Lt. j.g. Donald MacLaughlin Jr. Awards as the nation's top midfielder for Myles Jones.
The 2016 season was a roller coaster one for the Blue Devils. Duke posted an 11-8 record, recording great wins and then suffering surprising upsets. Jones captured his second Lt. j.g. Donald MacLaughlin Jr. Award as the nation's top midfielder and also was named the ACC Offensive Player of the Year, while Deemer Class captured his second first team All-America honor. The Blue Devils finished 12th in the final Inside Lacrosse poll.
Duke's 2015 squad was an inexperienced group that finished the year 12-6. Jones headlined the Blue Devils offense with a Duke midfield record 77 points. His efforts earned him hsi first Lt. j.g. Donald MacLaughlin Jr. Award as the nation's top midfielder. Class and Will Haus also garnered All-America and All-ACC honors as the Blue Devils finished the season ranked eighth in the final Inside Lacrosse poll.
The 2014 campaign was a memorable one as veteran Blue Devils shined and new stars emerged. Senior Jordan Wolf, a first team All-American, headlined Duke's high-powered offense with fellow attackmen Josh Dionne and Case Matheis. Duke's newest first midfield line of Class, Jones and Christian Walsh quickly answered any questions about the Blue Devils at the midfield becoming arguably the most dangerous midfield in the country.
Class captured All-America first team honors in his first season as a starter, while Jones was a second-team All-America pick. Returning after a breakout season at the faceoff X, Brendan Fowler was a third team All-America choice, while defenseman Luke Duprey and Chris Hipps both earned their first All-America awards.
The Blue Devils finished 17-3 overall and captured a share of the ACC regular season title en route to winning their third NCAA title in five seasons and second consecutive. Duke defeated Denver in the NCAA semifinals 15-12 to set up a 2010 NCAA title game rematch with Notre Dame. After Duke grabbed a big lead early, Notre Dame rallied to pull within one goal in the fourth quarter. However, after key plays from Duke's defense, Brendan Fowler at the X and attackmen Kyle Keenan and Wolf, the Blue Devils emerged with the 11-9 victory over the Fighting Irish.
Duke finished 2013 with a 16-5 record and a share of the ACC regular season title after starting the year 2-4 and falling out of the rankings. Under Danowski's expertise, the Blue Devils righted the ship and won 14 of its final 15 games of the season. The longtime head coach also became the first coach to lead his team to seven consecutive championship weekend appearances in his first seven seasons at the helm after Duke upended Notre Dame, 12-11.
Duke landed seven players on the USILA All-America squads with Fowler and David Lawson leading the way with first team honors. Fowler also garnered the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award after leading the ACC in faceoffs and ground balls, while Lawson and Wolf joined him on the All-ACC squad. It marked the second straight season Duke had won the Defensive Player of the Year honor.
After starting the year 2-4 and with reigning NCAA Champion Loyola and perennial power North Carolina on the horizon, the Blue Devils won nine straight to move back into the top 20. The win streak was stopped by a hot North Carolina team in the ACC Tournament semifinal, but Duke caught fire again in winning the season's final five games of the year.
The NCAA Tournament started with a thrilling 12-11 double overtime win over 2012 NCAA Champion Loyola. Duke followed that with the one-goal win over the Fighting Irish to advance to Philadelphia for a chance to take home the ultimate prize.
Against Cornell in the semifinals, the Blue Devils opened a big lead in the third quarter and held off a furious comeback by the Big Red for the 16-14 win. Duke found itself playing on Memorial Day for the third time under Danowski against top-seeded Syracuse. After getting off to a slow start against the Orange, Fowler took over at the faceoff X in winning 13 straight draws to spark a 13-2 run that put Duke ahead 13-7. Fowler won 20-of-28 faceoffs overall and was named to NCAA Championship's Most Outstanding Player. Wolf, Jake Tripucka and Lawson joined Fowler on the All-Tournament Team.
Danowski's efforts were recognized nationally as he was picked as one of five nominees for the 2013 ESPY Coach of the Year. Duke's 111 wins since 2007 are the most by any program in that span. In addition, Danowski is just one of five active coaches to have won at least two NCAA titles in his career.
The 2012 campaign was a memorable one for many reasons. The year saw Duke capture its fourth ACC Tournament title in six years, advance to the NCAA semifinal for the sixth consecutive season and Danowski win his third ACC Coach of the Year honor.
The Blue Devils finished the season with a 15-5 record and earned both the ACC regular season and tournament crowns. Despite starting the season 3-3, Duke went 10-1 in the months of March and April to enter the NCAA Tournament as the No. 3 seed.
Duke upened perennial power Syracuse in the opening round before cruising past Colgate in the quarterfinal to earn a berth in the NCAA semifinals for the ninth time in program history and making Danowski just the second NCAA Division I men's lacrosse coach in history to advance to championship weekend in each his first six seasons at the helm of a program.
The individual accolades flowed in for the Blue Devils as well in 2012 as CJ Costabile catpured a myriad of ACC and national awards. The long stick midfielder was named the ACC Co-Defensive Player of the Year, captured the Lt. j.g. Donald MacLaughlin Jr. Award as the nation's top midfielder and became Duke's first winner of the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award. Senior Robert Rotanz etched his name in the Duke records book, becoming the first midfielder in program history to register 40 goals en route to earning USILA All-America first team honors. In addition, Jordan Wolf joined Costabile and Rotanz on the All-ACC team to become the first Duke player to garner All-ACC honors in his first two seasons.
Overall, Duke landed five players on the All-America squads, while Costabile and Rotanz both earned Scholar All-America recognition. Always excelling in the classroom, Duke led the ACC once again with 14 All-ACC Academic selections.
Under the keen eye of Danowski in 2011, the Blue Devils advanced to their fifth straight and seventh overall national semifinals and finished with a 14-6 overall record. Duke captured the ACC regular season title, going 3-0, which included a win over future NCAA Champion Virginia. The Blue Devils defeated Notre Dame, 7-5, to move into the NCAA Semifinal against Maryland.
He was named the ACC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career after capturing the regular season crown. Danowski mentored two All-ACC selections in Costabile and Jordan Wolf, while six Blue Devils captured All-America recognition. Justin Turri earned second team honors and Costabile, Zach Howell and Tom Montelli garnered third team accolades. Wolf and Robert Rotanz both brought in honorable mention nods.
Off the field, Duke once again was the leader in the ACC. The Blue Devils led all squads with 14 players on the All-ACC Academic Team. Overall 27 players were named to the ACC Academic Honor Roll, nearly twice as many as the next closest ACC men's lacrosse program. Howell and Montelli both were selected as USILA Scholar All-Americans, marking the fifth straight year Duke has had at least one recipient of the award.
In 2010, Danowski and the Blue Devils etched their names in the NCAA record book when they captured the program's first NCAA Championship with a 6-5 overtime victory over Notre Dame. With the departure of many top players, Duke followed 2010 with a thrilling 2011 season.
The preseason No. 1 pick in 2010, Duke finished with a 16-4 overall record, winning 14 of its final 15 games. Under Danowski's leadership in the NCAA Tournament, the Blue Devils outscored their opponents 55-32 and outlasted both Virginia and Notre Dame in heart-stopping one-goal victories on championship weekend.
Much as he had done the previous three seasons, Danowski masterfully guided the 2010 squad through the ups and downs of a season and tutored some of the top players in Division I lacrosse. Under his watchful eye, senior attackman Ned Crotty cemented himself as one of the top Blue Devil players in program history en route to winning the 2010 Tewaaraton Trophy, the top prize in college lacrosse, and being selected No. 1 in the Major League Lacrosse draft.
In all, Danowski coached five All-America selections in 2010 with Crotty taking home first team honors for the second straight seasons. The Blue Devils landed three players on the All-ACC squad and five on the NCAA All-Tournament Team under the longtime coach's tutelage. In the annual Major League Lacrosse draft, Duke set a benchmark with three players going among the top four picks as Crotty went No. 1, Max Quinzani at No. 3 and Parker McKee in the No. 4 spot.
Arguably, one of Danowski's best coaching performances came in the 2009 season after the departure of the NCAA leading scoring duo of Matt Danowski and Zack Greer. The Blue Devils surprised some as they ran their way to a 15-4 record, an ACC title and a bid to the NCAA Semifinals.
Under the guidance of Danowski, Crotty introduced himself as one of the top attackers in the country as he garnered the USILA's Attackman of the Year award as well as the ACC Player of the Year honor.
Danowski mentored five All-Americas, two All-ACC honorees as well as the USILA's pick for attackman of the year in 2009. The squad was also highly successful in the classroom as 12 players earned a place on the All-ACC Academic Team. Twenty-eight players overall achieved a 3.0 grade point average for the 2008-09 academic year to lead all ACC lacrosse programs and Max Quinzani picked up his second career ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America award.
In 2008, he guided the team to an 18-2 overall record, the ACC regular season and tournament championships and the squad's second consecutive appearance in the national semifinals. He coached nine All-Americas, including three first-team honorees, the USILA Player of the Year as well as the USILA's picks for attackman and defenseman of the year.
The Blue Devils achieved an equal amount of success in the classroom under Danowski's watch as 15 players earned a spot on the ACC All-Academic Team and Quinzani collected ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. Duke also garnered the ACC Sportsmanship award during the 2008 season.
In his first year at the helm of the Blue Devil program, Danowski guided Duke to the finest season in school history. The Blue Devils went 17-3, captured both the ACC and regular season championships, earned the program's first number one seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the national title game.
For his efforts, he was named the ACC Coach of the Year as well as the Person of the Year by US Lacrosse. The 2007 campaign yielded four first team All-America honorees while attackman Matt Danowski was the consensus national player of the year.
A veteran coach entering his 25th season as a collegiate head coach in 2007, Danowski spent 21 campaigns (1986-06) at Hofstra, compiling an overall record of 192-123 (.609) with eight conference championships, eight NCAA Tournament bids and 17 final national rankings among the top 20 teams in the nation.
Danowski's impact on the Duke program was immediate as the Blue Devils posted a cumulative grade point average of 3.45 in his first semester at the helm. In addition, the team provided over 500 hours of community service during the semester, continuing Danowski's philosophy of college student-athletes taking advantage of the full experience.
"The coach-player relationship lasts a lifetime - so much more than two hours every afternoon," said Danowski, the 1993 NCAA Division I National Coach of the Year who led Hofstra to eight conference championships. "It would be a disservice to the young men in the Duke program if we didn't care about their futures. To take advantage of the opportunity to teach life lessons is a goal of ours.
"I have learned the importance of adapting to the talent you have on the field," Danowski said. "You can't put a square peg into a round hole. I am a firm believer in taking what you have and finding the best way to be efficient with that group."
The 2006 season marked Danowski's best in a successful tenure at Hofstra as the Pride matched an NCAA single-season record with 17 victories against just two defeats. In addition, Danowski's squad captured the Colonial Athletic Association championship, finished the regular season ranked number two in the national poll and advanced to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. The 17 wins and .895 winning percentage also set Hofstra single-season team records.
Danowski guided the Pride to East Coast Conference crowns in 1988 and 1989, and he was honored as the NCAA Division I National Coach of the Year in 1993 after leading Hofstra to the national tournament for the first time since 1978. The 1995 and 1996 seasons yielded North Atlantic Conference titles for Hofstra, and Danowski then led the Pride to America East Conference championships in 1997, 1998 and 2000.
Having directed the Pride to a record of 71-16 in regular season conference games with nine league MVPs and 90 all-conference picks, Danowski is the only lacrosse coach in Hofstra history to win an NCAA Tournament game (4-8 record), including a 2001 first round contest in which the Pride rallied from an 11-7 deficit with seven goals in the fourth quarter against Virginia en route to a 15-14 overtime win over the Cavaliers. Hofstra's first tourney win was in come-from-behind fashion as well as the Pride outscored Massachusetts 6-3 in the second half for a 9-8 victory in 1993.
The Danowski Era at Hofstra produced 34 USILA All-America selections including first team choices Brian Spallina (2000), Doug Shanahan (2001), Nicky Polanco (2002), Brett Moyer (2006) and Chris Unterstein (2006). In addition, Shanahan was the recipient of the Tewaraaton Trophy as the nation's top player in 2001. As well, Hofstra has sent 30 players to the annual North-South All-Star Game since 1986, with Shanahan (2001) and Moyer (2006) earning game MVP honors. Former Hofstra standout Blake Miller, a member of the 1998 United States squad that captured the world title and the 2004 MLL Offensive Player of the Year, Polanco and Shanahan are currently playing for the United States squad at the International Lacrosse Federation World Championships in Ontario, Canada. Polanco is a two-time MLL Defensive Player of the Year (2004 & 2005) while Shanahan was the MVP of the 2002 ILF World Championships in Perth, Australia.
Prior to his stint at Hofstra, Danowski spent three seasons as the head coach at Long Island University-C.W. Post, helping the Pioneers to a 27-16 (.628) ledger from 1983-85. He received his start in coaching in 1982 as an assistant coach at LIU-C.W. Post in 1982.
With four conference coach of the year awards to his credit, Danowski was inducted into the Long Island Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2001. He is a three-time winner of the Joseph "Frenchy" Julien Sportsmanship Award (1988, 1989 & 1994) presented by the Metropolitan New York Officials Association and received the James Adams Sportsmanship Award from the National Intercollegiate Lacrosse Officials Association in 1994.
A 1976 graduate of Rutgers University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental science/education, Danowski was a four-year letterman in lacrosse and continues to hold several Scarlet Knight records. He established school single-game records for assists (13 vs. Penn State, 1973) and total points (14 vs. Penn State, 1974) and a single-season standard for assists with 54 in 1973. He currently ranks second on Rutgers' all-time list for assists (120) and is eighth in total points (177). Danowski, who helped the Scarlet Knights to NCAA Tournament appearances in 1973 and 1974, was a three-time recipient of the program's Sasser Award, an honor presented annually to the team's leader in assists. Born March 12, 1954 in Bronxville, N.Y., Danowski went on to earn a master's degree in counseling/college student development from LIU-C.W. Post in 1978.
Danowski's father, Ed, was an All-America halfback on the gridiron at Fordham in 1932 and 1933 who later starred for the New York Giants in the National Football League. The elder Danowski led the NFL in passing in 1935 and 1938, earning All-NFL honors in both of those seasons, and guided the Giants to league championships in 1934 and 1938. He later served as the head football coach at his alma mater from 1946-54.
Danowski and his wife, Patricia, have two children, Kate, a former lacrosse letterwinner and 2005 graduate of Quinnipiac University, and Matt, a 2008 Duke graduate and former captain of the lacrosse program.

Yet another new TV technology! … It's a real headache having to choose whether to go for an LCD or Plasma flatscreen, then along comes another … OLED.
So what's so good about OLED, why is it worth our attention and ever our money?
Back to Basics …. What's OLED?
Lets start with the basics, OLED stands for: Organic Light Emitting Diodes. LEDs surround us in every day life these days, you'll find LEDs used in a number of ways, in many of your devices in your home, for example they exist in digital clocks, forming the digits to indicate the time and also provide a way of visibly indicating whether your electrical devices are powered on or in standby. The difference here is the O in OLED, which refers to the use of organic materials, these materials make up a thin film and when an electric charge is applied they then create light …. Here OLED.
How OLED Technology Is Used Within The Television.
Now for the techy part …. We've established that OLED is based on paper thin sheets of organic materials. These sheets, typically polymer plastic, are placed within the display. Images are then produced from these organic materials which illuminate as a result of the small electric charge being applied.
OK great, but what does this mean to the average consumer? …. Well, here's the interesting part …
Each pixel (Pixel = digital picture element) has its own light source, without a need for a backlight. If you consider that traditionally the rear of a TV would contain the backlight, with OLED there is no need. This now means that we can have truly ultra thin TVs, with OLED we are talking millimeter thinness!
What about picture quality?
The picture quality is where these TVs really separate them from the technologies we've become accustomed to. When choosing a TV and assessing a good display you should focus on the contrast level, since the target for manufacturers is to achieve the blackest contrast level possible and at the other end of the scale the whitest (lightest), this then creates a greater contrast of colors in between. Above all else black levels are very important. An LCD TV possess good black levels but utilizes a white backlight behind the display which manufacturers work pretty hard to hide. Your old widescreen TV, which probably weighs more than your body weight, would have had black levels deeper than current LCD screens, however space saving flatscreens and the option of high definition make the LCD an attractive advance in technology.
OLED provides black levels far more advanced than your old, weighty widescreen. It does this by completely turning off individual pixels when producing black, since each pixel has its own light source. The pixels completely turn off in different areas of the picture, improving image quality and as a result consuming less power. For those of you who enjoy figures, OLED technology gives an astounding display with a contrast ratio of 1,000,000: 1, consider this against the best LCD screens which contrast levels are of 50,000: 1 you can begin to see that we are dealing with a whole different ball game! With superior picture quality, crisper and brighter displays you get a very wide viewing angle of 180 degrees through which the picture does not degrade or distort, this means you can be very flexible where we place the TV in the home and how you tilt the display .
What are the other advantages of OLED over LCD and plasma?
– OLED TVs are more light weight and cost less to manufacture due to the technology being less complicated than LCD or plasma.
– As touched on before OLED TV will save on your energy bills due to the way they operate.
The Concern
All these great points make OLED seem the perfect TV technology, however there is currently a downside. A concern with the life span of OLED TVs is present. Reports suggest that the picture can fade severely after a few thousand hours of watching. Currently Kodak claim that they have solved this issue with an OLED TV that has a lifespan of around 65,000 viewing hours. This technology is still being perfected by manufacturers so expect this challenge to be overcome in the near future.
Sony XEL-1 – The First OLED TV On Sale
Sony is the first manufacturer to release this type of TV, which is now on sale for around $ 2500 Dollars currently. The Sony XEL-1 is a world first with a screen measuring 11 inches, it is impressively thin at 3mm and weighs just 1.9kg. Although the screen size is not exactly large enough to be the center piece of our homes, we can expect that as the technology develops larger screens will inevitably appear. Samsung are reported to be manufacturing a 40 inch shortly.
The Future
So The future of OLED TV is bright (excuse the pun), however OLED technology is not just limited to TV, it is essentially a light source and its uses can be expansive and exciting. Imagine the end to the light bulb as we know it. Talk of OLED technology replacing the light bulb filament is real. It is possible that the traditional light bulb could be replaced by a thin sheet of polymer, offering full dimming capabilities and great efficiency. Imagine screens which bend, curve and fold for handheld devices and large displays, add to this see through screens for heads up displays in cars, its all possible with OLED.

Let yourself be drawn into the bustle of the former Saigon
The very name of Saigon, as it was known until 1975, is enough to bring back the charms of the colonial past of this forward-looking cosmopolitan city.
Ho Chi Minh City wasted no time in launching itself into the 21st century. One of the most dynamic cities of the Far East has the wind in its sails. In recent years, the ultramodern skyscrapers on the banks of the Saigon River devoted to 5-star hotels, offices, and luxury apartments, always seem to want to climb higher into the sky. The price per square metre even exceeds that of Ginza, one of Tokyo's most famous neighbourhoods. But the chic new boutiques and trendy bars have not erased the elegance of the colonial architecture and the romantic charm of this unique city, which people still continue to call 'Saigon', its former name, as a matter of principle.
Among the hordes of scooters and mopeds, the last pedicabs are trying to make their way at any cost. The old colonial city can still be discovered in the district of Cholon—the Chinatown of Ho Chi Minh City, to the west of District 1— or meandering between the Municipal Theatre, a replica of the Petit Palais in Paris, whose flamboyant style was inspired by the Opera Garnier, and the Central Post Office, with its metal frame designed by Gustave Eiffel, the famous French engineer.
Its tumultuous history, also marked by the Americans and the Soviets, has forged the character of this euphoric and inventive city, which is more than ever looking to the future. Without however ignoring its legacy, as the many paradoxes between ancient culture and fashion updates give Ho Chi Minh City its special charm.

Guido Borelli da Caluso By Debra Argen-Nesta email@example.com 203-358-9701 Artist Guido Borelli da Caluso was born in 1952, in Caluso, Italy at the foothills of the Italian Alps. Born into an artistic family, (his grandfather was a woodcarver and furniture maker, and his paternal uncle and aunt paint) young Guido first discovered painting somewhere between the ages of 4 to 6 years old. With the encouragement of his family, Guido�s first art challenge came at age 13 in the form of a public award. Although he did not win this art award, he continued to make artistic strides, and had his first personal art exhibit at the young age of 17. He received his art training at Accademia Albertina, in Turin, which...

A couple of months ago, Donsuemor invited me to participate to their celebration of the National Dessert Month. Every day in October, they will be featuring a different Donsuemor-inspired dessert. I am both honored and happy to be inspired by one of the best madeleines I have had in the Bay Area. They are moist and buttery, just the way I like them.
Ironically, madeleines do not trigger any involontary memories for me who grew up in France, but might for Loulou who devours them on a regular basis after school here in the Bay Area. She is actually one of the sources of inspiration for this dessert. As she just turned four, I needed an idea for a kids-friendly, easy to make dessert that would replace the usual cupcakes.
The other source of inspiration is a russian layered cake called "ideal" that is prepared with walnut meal and a sort of dulce de leche or caramelized condensed milk. The idea in that dessert is to weave in the soft and creamy dulce the leche to a crispy sugar dough base. Here, instead of making my own crust, I use the delicate taste of the madeleine, for individual sized madeleine-raspberry shortcakes.
For 6 shortcakes :
12 madeleines
8 oz Dulce de Leche
4 heaped tablespoons almond butter
1/2 pint (1 small basket) raspberries
juice of 1/2 lemon
Steps :
1.Preheat oven at 300 F
2. Cut the top part of the madeleine as shown above,
3. Set the madeleines in oven for 10 to 15 minutes. They need to dry a little, but be careful not to brown them.
4. In the meantime, prepare the cream in a bowl. Mix the dulce de leche and almond butter.
5. Once the madeleines are dried, spread the cream over each madeleine. A set of two madeleines will be used for one shortcake.
6. Add approximately 7-8 raspberries on one of the cream-covered madeleines, sprinkle a few lemon drops, and cover with the other madeleine.
Et voila!
It is best to let the madeleines absorb some of the cream for a couple of hours before serving.

- Keep a journal of photos and fashion stuff. I didn't start keeping it until May but I have all my magazines and glitter glue organised on a special desk now.
- Learn how to knit. I said this last year but I ran out of time OK?
- Thrift shop more. The one thing I actually did!
- Keep blogging. Let's see...299 posts from 2013. Not bad.
- Watch more influential movies. I tried... sort of.
- Stop procrastinating. Um.
- Stop procrastinating. Not really.
I cultivated my tastes a bit more, I read and managed to keep my grades up and I kept some journals. My moodboards have really come along and I think this one is particularly nice because it has strong teenage influences and I'd like to be a teen forever. I have a new job which is going swimmingly and everything seems to be on track, but I am kind of sad that this year is over already because it has been such a good year. I'm now plotting world domination via the blogosphere so I think that will be my New Year's Resolution for 2014 or whatever.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Experts in the San Francisco Bay Area say residents should watch out for skunks as they enter their mating season.
The skunks spray their foul odor more often around this time of year, and it can be smelled throughout the Bay Area, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
"Everybody is spraying everybody," said Kelle Kacmarcik, wild-animal solutions manager at WildCare rehabilitation hospital in San Rafael. "They are out there competing for females and competing for territory. The females spray the males when they don't want to mate. Then the males are competing, so they spray one another, and then, since they are so focused on breeding, they aren't paying attention to us and they get startled easily."
More dogs, cats and humans are sprayed by skunks in January and February than any other time of the year, said Kacmarcik, who has been sprayed in the face twice at the animal hospital.
"It is pretty horrible," she said. "It's very bad. You can't even imagine."
The stench, which is sprayed by skunks in an oily mixture out of two glands in their anuses, smells like a combination of garlic, rotten egg and burned rubber, the news report said.
Kacmarcik suggested people keep their cats and dogs inside or on a leash this time of year and try to be loud if they know they are in an area populated by skunks.
"If you know you have some on your property, make some noise when you go outside and let them know you are coming and they generally run away," she said. "They are very docile animals. You can't blame them for spraying every now and then. It is their only defense mechanism."

North Carolina could ban Tesla from selling its cars if a bill designed to eliminate "unfair competition" becomes law.
The proposed rule, unanimously approved by the state's Senate Commerce Committee last week, would make it illegal for any automaker to bypass dealerships and sell cars directly to consumers.
As Will Oremus at Slate points out, Tesla is the only American automaker whose business model is based on selling cars directly to consumers.
The bill is sponsored by Republican Sen. Tom Apodaco, and supported by the NC Automobile Dealers Association, according to Raleigh's News & Observer.
Tesla's Argument
In an October blog post, Tesla CEO Elon Musk laid out his reasoning for skirting the dealer model and putting the time and money into building a network of Tesla stores.
By the time most customers go to a local dealer, he wrote, they have made up their mind to buy the same kind of car they had before. If Tesla could only sell cars in dealerships, it would lose the chance to educate consumers about its new kind of car.
On top of that, Musk argued, since dealers sell primarily gasoline-powered cars, they have a reason not to push Teslas:
Existing franchise dealers have a fundamental conflict of interest between selling gasoline cars, which constitute the vast majority of their business, and selling the new technology of electric cars. It is impossible for them to explain the advantages of going electric without simultaneously undermining their traditional business.
An Ongoing Fight
The North Carolina bill is the latest salvo in a fight that has been going on for a long time. By October 2012, Tesla was facing lawsuits in New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Oregon, accused of violating state laws that protect dealerships.
Tesla has made progress. In January, a judge threw out the Massachusetts suit, according to The Car Connection. A New York judge did the same in April. A bill in Minnesota to ban Tesla stores was defeated in March.
Last month, Musk took the offensive, traveling to Texas to lobby for a bill that would allow it to sells cars directly to buyers.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, and Musk has been surprisingly quiet on Twitter.
Vice President of Corporate and Business Development Diarmuid O'Connell told Slate "he's hopeful that the state legislature will amend the bill so that it doesn't prohibit Tesla from doing business there."
Since the bill would impact only Tesla (all the large automakers already sell cars through dealers), it's unlikely the bill will have such an amendment.
Here's the strong language and free market argument Musk used to rally supporters in Texas, revealed in an April 2 email obtained by Forbes:
It is crazy that Texas, which prides itself on individual freedom, has the most restrictive laws in the country protecting the big auto dealer groups from competition. If the people of Texas knew how bad this was, they would be up in arms, because they are getting ripped off by the auto dealers as a result (not saying they are all bad - there a few good ones, but many are extremely heinous). We just need to get the word out before these guys are able to pull a fast one on us
For everyone in Texas that ever got screwed by an auto dealer, this is your opportunity for payback.
Now that the North Carolina bill has been approved by the Senate Commerce Committee, it will have to pass the full Senate, then the full House, and be signed into law by the governor.

LonelyFew necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 48 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
We are a iPhone game development company called Lonely Few and we are looking for a logo for our next project titled "Brainsss".
In terms of style, we really want it to be lighthearted and appealing to all age groups and genders as well as iconic. So nothing gory, bloody, or anything like that.
The logos for Popcap games, such as Peggle are a good example of what we're looking for.
*Guaranteed: We're planning to switch this to guaranteed once we have enough entries to switch it over - gotta be in it to win it!
*Please start with rough ideas for the logo and we'll give you quick feedback on the idea before you spend too much time rendering and polishing.
(We're artists ourselves, so if the first round of images are sketches and just ideas, that's fine. We'll be sure to give feedback along the way.)
*Please no minor variation with submissions. (i.e. changing a color, tweaking outline thickness). Don't worry! We're able to identify the potential of a design and understand components that can be tweaked.
*Website sample image is an example of the feel and style we are going for. Please use as a guide but don't limit your design by mimicking it.
*We're really looking for a logo with the following qualities:
-nice clean, readable font (to make sure the logo is easily identifiable)
-'Cute zombies' not 'violent', 'gory', 'halloween', or other more gruesome qualities.
-incorporates an interesting 'concept' that ties the logo back to the 'Brainsss' IP. Think (as examples) 'bites', 'scratches', 'science'/'scientists', 'virus', 'silhouettes', 'zombie swarms', 'cute zombie gremlins' etc
*We DONT want logos with an incorporated 'brain' element i.e. a 'brain' for the dot of the 'i'. While this is a good idea as far as adding an interesting concept to the logo it's a little too literal and again doesn't match the style/feel of the game.
*Questions? Comments? Feel free to ask us questions or look for feedback on ideas.

Faulty brain wiring may contribute to dyslexia
Adults with the disorder showed difficulty transmitting information among areas that process language
Courtesy of KU Leuven
Hampered connections between brain regions that decipher spoken sounds may partly explain why people with dyslexia have trouble reading and spelling, researchers report in the Dec. 6 Science. Both activities require the ability to translate the sounds of language into meaning, which is an obstacle for people with dyslexia.
The new results provide some of the first support for an underdog hypothesis that broken bridges in the brain thwart these mental interpretations of sound information. Neuroscientists have traditionally held — and previous data have supported — the competing hypothesis that the learning disability arises from trouble properly distinguishing the sounds of language before they're interpreted by the brain.
In the study, Bart Boets of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium and colleagues investigated brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging. The

First and foremost: I want to acknowledge and thank Floyd Mann for hosting and managing a wonderful resource here. I don't know if other pastimes and obsessions are served by forums like this on the internet. I assume they are. But this is really a phenomenal resource. Thanks Floyd!
I'm Tom, even though my sign-on here is Toad.de.b. (note to self: THINK before you choose a sign-on to a public forum). I've mostly been lurking here although intermittently posting to forums as if I know what I'm talking about. Time to set the record straight: I don't. There. Feeling better already.
I started trying to bake bread a year ago, when Spring semester ended in 2011 (I work in public education). At that time, I convinced myself that I had some time to devote to a book/challenge my son had given me the Christmas before, Jim Lahey's My Bread. So last summer, I made weekly loaves of bread from that book, using Lahey's method. They were, how to put it?, pretty forgettable. They were edible, if not actually enjoyable, for about 12-24 hours after baking, but by about the time the burns on my arms (from his method) would start blistering up and the flour coating all the kitchen's surfaces was finally cleaned up, the loaves would be tasteless rocks destined to sustain the raccoon families that prey upon our compost bins.
When again I had some time to try to 'move to the next level' (as my wife suggested perhaps I should, assuming that the disappointment so far had been Lahey's fault and not mine) it was Christmas 2011 and this time my son, curse bless him, gave me Tartine Bread. So I've been trying to make the basic bread from that book for about 6 months now. I've not had anything resembling success yet, but I've only been trying for a total of a year (counting the Lahey period). So I know that I have a lot of self-training to go. Still, I'm anxious to "get it" about bread baking and try to remain optimistic that I eventually will. I do wonder how many years of trying it has taken others on TFL to bake a safe and enjoyable loaf of bread. Turns out that the simple, noble objective of baking bread for the household is infinitely harder than I could ever have imagined, or than is depicted in these damn books my son keeps giving me.
For anyone still reading: Most doughs prepared from Tartine have been so bad that we couldn't see wasting electric baking them (there's one "fermenting" now in fact that I'm not going to bake, unless anyone's up for pancakes). They are shiny, sticky, sloppy messes like wallpaper paste that never really form a "loaf" or have what books, YouTubes, blogs and TFLoafers call "strength", despite old fashioned kneading, or French folding, or stretching and folding, or Lahey style passive neglect, or even resurrection of a 30+ year old Kitchen Aid mixer this weekend (that turned the 75% hydration dough into dripping batter in 2 minutes flat on speed 2). The doughs stick to me, to the counter, to scrapers, bowls and buckets, not to mention expensive rice/wheat floured bannetons from SFBI (as if banneton quality was the limiting factor in my baking! :-). The next stop for most of those that have actually made it to the oven (if they didn't pour off the peel) has been the compost. I did bake one "loaf" in March that had a ~good (well, not bad, for once) flavor, but of course with the geometry of a ciabatta, as my "loaves" always do except when they explode out the top (posted here).
The other 45 attempts (by my count and notes), were either not baked, baked and soon composted, or baked and maybe a few slices were eaten. Note that's not 52 bakes, even though I've theoretically baked every weekend for a year (we don't take vacations): That's because I've vowed to quit several times and skipped a few weekends. But this appears to be an addiction like smoking (I don't): "Quittin's easy, I've done it hundreds of times." My wife avoids the products of these efforts, which is ironic since I gave in to my son's urging on the now-laughable (she's not, I try to) assumption that I could make bread that's a closer approximation than that coming out of our local boulangeries and supermarkets to that which she grew up in Europe eating and misses so desperately (she is Norman French + Italian).
A while back I declared that One Year would be the limit of my attempts to bake a loaf of bread that we could safely consume more than a slice or two of, and maybe actually enjoy. If not, I would well and truly cease and desist, put all the paraphenalia on Craig's List and compost the remaining flour. But addictions die hard I guess -- never had one before.
Happy Baking.

Kirk Black competing in wheelchair curling during the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games.
Wheelchair curling made its debut at the Paralympic Winter Games 2006 in Torino as a medal event after its success at the world championships in January 2002 in Scotland.
Competition takes place between two competitors from each of two teams. Stones are "thrown" by hand, or by the use of a "stick" towards a target at the opposite end of the ice. The object of the game is similar to that of boccia in that the goal is to get a team's stones as close to the center of the target (the "house") as possible. Six ends are played with a possible extra end if the teams are tied after six. There is no sweeping, however, and only competitors in wheelchairs are allowed to compete. Rules for the 2002 world championships required that each team include one female and one tetraplegic (quadriplegic) player on each team.
Paralympic wheelchair curling competition is open to male and female athletes with physical disabilities such as amputation/limb loss, spinal cord injury/wheelchair-users, cerebral palsy/brain injury/stroke and Les autres.

Frontiers Lecture: Unraveling the Mystery of Continental Crust Formation main content.
by AMNH on
For many years, Oliver Jagoutz, Assistant Professor of Geology at MIT, and Max Schmidt, Professor of Geology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, have searched the Himalayan Mountains for information on the formation of the Earth's continental crust, leading to discoveries that put the material of the Earth's molten mantle on par with that of meteorites. In this podcast, Jagoutz and Schmidt discuss the implications of this discovery, and other aspects of the Earth's formation, for understanding our planet's evolution.
This lecture took place at the Hayden Planetarium on April 7, 2014.

Jmac was not prepared for the outfit that Kagney wore for him. Her beautiful round ass cheeks looked amazing in her bottomless jeans. He had to stop working on his car and inspect the goods that were in front of him. After playing with her perfect tits and ass, Jmac put his anaconda deep in her mouth. Kagney was no wall flower, she slobbed the knob and also took care of the balls. Jmac took the lovely Kagney to the living room and fucked her all over his brand new couch. It was amazing watching her ride and grind on the cock without losing a beat.

Market Commentary - 10.10.2014
After being fairly contained for the past few quarters, the start of the fourth quarter has proven to be extremely volatile. In just the first week of the new quarter, the S&P 500 has either risen or fallen by more than 1% on five of the first six days, or 83% of the time. For reference, in the first three quarters combined, the S&P 500 rose or fell by more than 1% on only 22 days, or 9.3% of the time. As we have often noted in our market outlook and commentaries, we believe 2014 will be a year of elevated volatility levels. We have identified a number of market tailwinds which may benefit equity investors, but we have also identified a number of market headwinds which may counteract and keep equity returns in check. The constant stream of conflicting news is likely to result in an increase in market swings, both in frequency and magnitude, such as we have seen over the past few days. In periods of increased volatility, it is prudent to maintain a disciplined investment strategy that focuses on diversification and overallocates to strategies that benefit from market fluctuations. Before the recent jump in market volatility, equity investors were enjoying another solid year of returns. However, over the past few weeks, markets have taken a decidedly negative tone, reflecting increased uncertainty, for the following reasons:
All of these factors have contributed to the recent negative tone and choppiness in the financial markets. Though volatility is on an upswing, we do not believe the negative market tone is warranted. Yes, the aforementioned concerns exist; however, strong corporate earnings, a lack of inflation, and historically low interest rates are just a few bullish indicators. As it has been for the past several quarters, our investment stance is founded on a base-case scenario that allows for cautious optimism. The U.S. economy seems to be on a path of modest, non-inflationary growth. Economic performance in Europe and Japan has disappointed, but massive monetary stimulus and weakening currencies point to a pickup in activity within a few quarters. Interest rates appear to be poised to rise gradually in the United States, but not abroad. Stock markets around the world have managed to do well in worse circumstances than these over the past few years, and there appears no reason to expect otherwise in the near future. While we still believe the financial markets are on a solid foundation, as we have noted many times, volatility is likely to remain elevated and portfolios should be positioned accordingly. Beyond favoring developed markets that stand to benefit from global stimuli, a slight overweight in growth over value in stocks, and less interest rate sensitivity in fixed income, we continue to urge greater portfolio diversification that includes an allocation to investments such as alternative strategies, commodities, and REITs, which have demonstrated low correlation to traditional investments like stocks and bonds.
