In photos obtained by the Sun-Times, Obama was supposed to wear a No. 44 St. Louis Cardinals jersey, handed to him by baseball commissioner Bud Selig.
and Obama says 'nice try Bud':
Here's the video: http://img18.yfrog.com/i/v1u.mp4/ (0:09)
"If you need any help, give me a call." Hilarious!
When Mark Buehrle arrived at work Thursday morning, making a little baseball history with Ramon Castro and Dewayne Wise and then having a chat about it with the president of the United States probably wasn't on the agenda. On what turned out to be a legendary day not only in the life of the White Sox left-hander but for baseball as a whole, Buehrle took everyone along for the ride of his life at U.S Cellular Field. He did it with Castro catching him for the first time. He did it by watching Wise enter the game in the ninth and save the day with a circus play of which sandlot dreams are made. And he finished it all off by fielding a call from a certain White Sox fan who lives in the White House, President Barack Obama. So it's safe to say that, while this might have been the 18th perfect game in Major League history, there hasn't been a perfect day quite like the one Buehrle shared with baseball Thursday. For Buehrle, basking in the glow of going 27 up, 27 down was hard enough to comprehend, though he'd done it once before. Getting a grip on the perfection and understanding the enormity of the accomplishment, he admitted, might take awhile. …
Paul Sullivan (h/t David Caplan):
Axelrod said he had a long talk with Obama before the game because some Major League Baseball executives weren't happy about the decision.
"There was a big controversy," he said. "I think Major League Baseball wanted him to wear the All-Star jacket, and he was intent on wearing his White Sox jacket. He prevailed in that.
Go Sox!
BTW, here's Ozzie's reaction to Obama's pitch: "He threw better than (Clayton) Richard's last outing," Guillen quipped.
UPDATE: Jerry Reinsdorf confirms it:
It sounded like Major League baseball officials were trying to get him to wear the All-Star jacket.
Yeah, there were people in St. Louis that weren't real happy he was going to wear our jacket. Some baseball people wanted an All-Star type jacket or even a Cardinal jacket. He said, 'I'm a White Sox fan. I'm going to wear my White Sox jacket.'
White Sox first baseman and team captain Paul Konerko commended Obama for displaying his fanhood without reservation.
"I thought it was a pretty bold move on his part," Konerko said, "because it's going to bring into play the questions that come around — none of which are really life and death questions or that important — but he could've just gone out there with a Major League Baseball jacket on and called it a day.
"We knew he was a fan before that, but it's nice to see him basically kind of stick his neck out there a little bit. Because now, most politicians or presidents, the grayer an answer you can give, the better. And that's not gray. He wore our team's jacket out there. You don't see that much."
As you know, our commander-in-chief took the mound last night and did an excellent impression of a man trying to throw a party balloon. I asked some experts to evaluate Obama's mechanics and explain just what needed to be fixed. …
Mariners right fielder Ichiro Suzuki of Japan got an autographed ball from the president, who told fellow AL All-Star Curtis Granderson that he's a big Ichiro fan.
"My idea, when I saw him, was to say, 'What's up?' to him," Ichiro said through interpreter Ken Barron. "But I got nervous. You know, he has that kind of aura about him. So I got nervous and I didn't say that to him. I was a little disappointed about that.
"But I realized after seeing him today that presidents wear jeans, too. So my hope is that our skipper, [Don] Wakamatsu, was watching that and we can wear jeans on our flights as well."
BTW, here's Bob Costa's 'MLB Tonight' Obama interview (6:34), Obama locker room stop (1:21), and Buehrle's interview (0:56).
Video: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=5571893
and http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?content_id=5572949
Buehrle followed with a 1-2-3 inning (3rd). 9 pitches (video).
BTW, the two met earlier:
Next stop was the AL clubhouse, where he jibed Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter for being so old and signed an autograph for Seattle outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. A White Sox fan, Obama was glad to see pitcher Mark Buehrle, the only representative from the president's favorite team.
Buehrle and Barack video.
The White Sox's lone representative has only one request — to have a photograph taken with President Barack Obama , who is to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
"I'll try to get a picture with him," Buehrle said of the opportunity to pose with the No. 1 Sox fan. "I'm big on getting pictures."

New Obsession: Kate Middleton
Posted February 5, 2011on:
It's official, I'm coming out about my fascination with Kate Middleton. She is being made out as the up-and-coming woman to watch. I'm thinking she'll join the ranks of Audrey Hepburn, Michelle Obama, Jackie O and of course her famous mother-in-law, Princess Diana. Though I was rather young when Princess Di passed away, I did commemorate my adoration of her by purchasing a Princess Diana purple Beanie Baby- which is just how a young lady of eleven copes with the loss of an idol.
Truly, I hope to emulate more of the classy-fashion that many women of power and prestige are known for…. not to mention this little gem:

One year ago we dropped our daughter off at Lighthouse Autism Center for the first time. Despite knowing it was the right place for her to be, Eric and I were both a nervous wreck. Never did we imagine our daughter (who has stranger danger and had never been away from us) would, within weeks, not shed a tear when dropped off .. within months would run to her therapists without even looking back and after a year she actually would do better during the week when she goes to school then she does on weekends when she isn't able to go. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our daughter to be everyday. Each and every therapist shows their passion for what they do and the change that we have seen in her the last year is remarkable.
Eric and I wanted to let everyone know how much we appreciate the love and care that you all show our daughter. Many of you have gone above and beyond to make us and her feel comfortable and to make Brielle happy. It is wonderful to have such a wonderful place full of people that understand Brielle instead of judge her. As parents that is one of the number one blessings we can ask for. Thank you and continue to do the great work that you do with all of these children! The world needs more people just like all of you!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity express my deep appreciation for everyone involved at LAC.
Approximately 12 years ago, I was asked by close family friends if I would want to help out for a day, assisting with their newborn triplets —- just home from the hospital.
I have been blessed with very special relationships with the three girls. Ginny has always been a sweet, affectionate little soul who has overcome many challenges in her short lifetime.
The last six months have been such a huge blessing for Ginny. I have witnessed each year of her life…. so many therapies and classrooms. Last year I felt Ginny was "lost" at school. She was not challenged, and often left on her own at her desk. It was not a productive experience for Ginny or the teaching staff.
In contrast at LAC:
Ginny's expressive language skills have blossomed.
She has an air of confidence about her that I have never seen before. She really enjoys her work and LOVES her peers at LAC.
She has a fierce compassion for people, and worries about them.
It touches my heart to hear her talk about various classmates and her teachers and therapists.
I continue to be in awe of the staff at LAC. Their patience with these students is amazing, and their dedication and commitment to them is palpable. The environment is such a huge improvement from her school last year, I can't tell you how relieved I was when I walked into the center this past summer.
Many, many thank you's – and hugs to all of you for what you have done for Ginny. This little girl owns my heart."
Bonnie, South Bend, IN
"I have 2 small boys that attend the Lighthouse Autism Center located at 3730 Edison Lakes Parkway, Mishawaka, IN. My boys are 5 and 6 years years old. They have attended this center for the last 12 weeks and have made super remarkable progress!! They received 40 hours of ABA a week. That includes frequent breaks, rewards, and playtime. They love it and so do I. They are at their highest functioning level they have ever been at and keep improving. If you are interested please contact the owner Gregg Maggioli. Please pass this email on to anyone you think my benefit. This is billed through private health insurance."
Rosetta, Granger, IN
"My name is Katy, my daughter Ginny has Autism. She has been at Lighthouse for only a month and I just wanted to take a moment and share a conversation I had with my daughter Ginny. The facts may not be accurate, but the grammar, vocabulary and sentence length and structure just amazed me.
She told me…"Mom, Mary has a dog." Really Ginny? "Mary's dog name is Pat." Then she told me her dog's name was Lucy. I know the names and the specific facts are not necessarily true but I wish I could have recorded her; you guys would have been thrilled to hear her. So, I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone at LAC! This was the most appropriate conversation I have EVER had with my daughter and I'll never forget it. I'm crying, happy tears of course, just sharing this with you.
Thank you so much for all you and all Gin's therapist do for her and with her every day."
Katy, South Bend, IN
"Before Lighthouse, we struggled to get Ally to connect with us. She would only communicate to address her most basic wants and needs. She would rarely even let us sit next to her," said Ally's mother. "I am falling head over heels in love with her all over again. I am in heaven playing Barbies and dress up with her! These are all
things a year ago I would have never dreamed we'd be able to do together. We have everyone at Lighthouse to thank for that. This is the first environment where we have seen her thrive and where she has been really happy."

Begging For It Part 1 Jenny would always wonder if it was luck or if they had wanted her for some reason. She was attractive, 27 years old with dark red hair, milky skin and full, heavy breasts that made men stare - but she didn't think she was exceptional.
Maybe the only thing about her that was exceptional was that she had walked past the dark blue van idling on the side of the road on her way into town.
That was when, half aware of hearing the door open, she was suddenly struggling to breathe through the heavy cloth against her face. She clawed at it and kicked out at nothing as arms around her waist half lifted, half dragged her backwards. She felt the raised floor of the van scrape the back of her legs as she was pulled inside.
It was only once she heard the door slam shut she even remembered to scream. Then someone hit her across the side of the face, the blow softened somewhat by the cloth covering it, but hard enough to knock her to the floor. She felt the engine start. "Shut up, bitch." A man's voice hissed above her.
"You shut the fuck up and stay that way if you know what's good for you." She heard someone laugh softly, excitedly, in the corner. Two of them. And the driver. Jenny was terrified. "Please don't hurt me -" She whimpered into the thick fabric, and felt a hand close round her throat. "I told you to shut the fuck up. Do as you're told. Do exactly what I fucking tell you." The hand loosened it's grip.
"Don't hurt you? You're gonna get fucked, cunt.
That's all you're good for. We're gonna have some fun, and yeah, it won't be as much fun for you." Laughter again "But you keep the fuck quiet and do as you're told and you'll get home safe." She sobbed as she felt a hand slide up her inner thigh and come to rest against her crotch. "That's the deal, bitch. It's the best offer you're gonna get.
So if you want to take it, you need to reach down and peel off these little panties of yours so I can get a good look at what I'll be pounding later." Hands shaking and tears running down her face, Jenny fumbled for the edges of her clinging satin pants and slid them down her legs, revealing a pert, rounded ass and a neat little pussy outlined with a faint tracery of red hair.
The pants were snatched out of her hands. "Lift your skirt" A new voice ordered sharply "And spread your legs." Hating herself, Jenny did as she was told, hitching the black pencil skirt up around her waist and spreading her pale thighs as far apart as she could stretch them, too scared to disobey.
The cold gritty surface of the van floor scraped her ass. "Flexible!" The voice sounded amused. "That should be fun. Now the top." Jenny fumbled with a buttons on her white blouse just as the vibrations of the van's engine stopped. "No time" said the first voice, impatiently. He took handfuls of the shirt and yanked violently. Buttons sprayed around the van's interior with a rattle. The top was roughly forced down her arms, leaving her with her legs spread and her bra exposed, her large breasts straining against the thin black nylon, her erect nipples visible through the cloth.
Someone flicked her right nipple with a fingernail. "She's enjoying it!" The second voice laughed. "Who cares if a whore fucking enjoys it?" The first voice said contemptuously. "We'll see how long that lasts. Get her inside." The bag was pulled swiftly from over her head, leaving her blinking in the sudden light.
It was a warehouse - there were a lot of them, huge and cavernous on the edge of town. She realised if she screamed it probably wouldn't even reach the walls. She was sitting in her bra and pencil skirt on a wooden chair, surrounded by various industrial detritus and a thin mattress on the floor.
There were three men. Their faces were covered. One - the eldest, she thought, a white man with greying hair at his temples - approached her and she saw he had a knife in his hand. She almost screamed, but managed to suppress it. He reached out and sliced through each of her bra straps with a snap, then between the two cups. Her breasts tumbled heavily out, hanging there soft and inviting. He rested the cold metal of the knife against a nipple, making her shiver.
"Now the skirt" he said, and she recognised him as the first one who spoke to her "What do you think, bitch? Shall we take another good look at that tight little pussy of yours?" She didn't answer. Another man - a slender, well muscled black guy - laughed again.
The knife came to rest under her chin. "Good girl." The man said softly. "But once we've got you stripped, we're going to turn the camera on." He gestured to a glassy glint up in a corner "And every time I ask you a question, bitch, you're going to say yes.
I'm gonna ask if you want me to fuck you and you're gonna say yes. If you don't want us to hurt you, you're gonna beg us to fuck you. You see my friend?" He pointed towards the third man, the driver, a man built like a truck. "You're gonna beg to suck his cock and once you've swallowed his cum down you're gonna beg for more like the desperate fucktoy you are." He put the knife in his belt and pulled her skirt sharply down over her hips and on to the floor.
"Shall we get started?" "Yes." Jenny whispered, frightened. "Get on the mattress, bitch. Hands and knees." Jenny, cold and naked, staggered over to the mattress on the ground and fell to her knees. As she bent forward to put her hands on the ground, her tits swung like a pendulum beneath her.
From the corner of her eye she could see the second man turning on the video camera. The first moved around behind her. She suddenly received a stinging slap on the ass.
"You ready, bitch?" "Yes." Jenny said, blinking back tears. "You want me to fuck you?" "Yes." "You want all of us to fuck you?" "Yes." Jenny whimpered, feeling her pussy tighten with anxiety. She felt the head of his cock brushing her slit as he bent over her and whispered "Beg". "I - I want you to fuck me. I - I want your cock.
I'm just." She felt sick "Just a fucktoy. I want." She broke off with a yelp as he shoved the wide head of his cock into her dry pussy. The friction was painful as he began to fuck her, pushing himself relentlessly deeper into her tightly clenched cunt.
His cock wasn't that big - maybe seven inches - but it was thick and she felt the soft inside of her pussy stretch and bruise as he ground the last inch of himself cruelly into her with deliberate sadistic glee. He could feel her gripping him like a vice as he fucked her with short sharp strokes.
Her cunt felt like dry silk. He reached around beneath her and drove his fingers as hard as he could into her sensitive breasts. He came inside her as she cried out in pain. He pulled out without ceremony and nodded to the second man. "You're up." He was up, Jenny noticed in panic, a good ten inches up. As he took his place behind her, she managed to say "Please." and then screamed as he rammed nine inches into her in one swift movement.
He slapped her on the ass, then pulled out and rammed it home again, the end of his cock hitting the top of her cunt like a battering ram. The fact that he could slide in easily now just made it faster and harder. After the forth stroke he kept up the pressure, until some muscle in her gave and let the last inch of him. Then she moaned in pain as he fucked her fast and hard. When she felt his cum pumping into her, it was such a relief she cried out in pleasure. "You really do like cum, don't you, fucktoy?" The third man said mockingly as the second pulled out.
He was stood in front of her and to her horror his erect cock must have been at least 12 inches. Suddenly she understood what she was supposed to do. "I want to suck your cock." She said, desperately. She got up onto her knees in front of him. "Please let me suck it." She begged, tears running down her face "I want to drink your cum. Please." She was so desperate not to be raped with something so big she didn't wait for a reply, just lunged forward, sliding her lips and tongue over the huge thing as far as she could, licking and sucking like it was candy, just wanting to make him happy so it would stop.
She could hear laughter as he grabbed her by the hair and started to fuck her mouth, so she had to fight not to choke. But she was managing it until, with a snap, a leather whip landed sharply across her ass, leaving a long red mark on the white skin and causing her to accidentally bite down in shock. It wasn't hard, but the cock was pulled from her lips with a yell and the man viciously backhanded her across the face, sending her sprawling onto the mattress. She heard the man's friends laughing hysterically and his protests of "It's not funny!".
"Turn the camera off" the first man said "I think she needs a time out." Looking up, she saw him removing the long belt from his jeans and thought she was about to be beaten. The man nodded to his large friend "Get her legs up." The man, looking furious, seized her ankles and roughly forced her legs up and back until her knees were pressed into her chest.
The man wrapped the belt around the back of her knees and around her body, pinning her arms to her sides in the process. He pulled it tight as it would go, until she couldn't move an inch from that position, her legs trussed uncomfortably up against her. "Get the chair." She wailed in horrified anticipation when she saw it.
It was a sturdy metal chair, but screwed into the seat was an upright metal dildo, 12 inches long and with an exaggerated bulbous head on it almost 3 inches wide, the work of a sadistic craftsman. The largest of the men lifted her easily - she wasn't able to struggle or fight - and held her so that the bulb was pressed firmly against her labia.
Unable to stretch around it, they were pushed painfully up into her pussy as he started to lower her down onto the thing. As it reached its widest point, she screamed as she felt herself tear and begged him to stop. "Shut the fuck up." The first man snapped. "There's an eighteen incher on the workbench and if you don't shut your cunt mouth I'll use that instead. And I'll have it in your ass. Not a sound." Terrified, Jenny bit her tongue and tried not to groan as she was eased down over six inches of the enormous dildo, stretching and tearing agonisingly.
Then the man let go. Unable to support herself at all, she slid down four inches immediately, screaming uncontrollably as she was impaled with her full weight onto the monster metal cock, bucking in pain as it forced her cervix upwards, stretching her more than she imagined possible. Then with a jolt and a stab of pain the last two inches slammed into her, leaving her helpless, unable to move with the thing inside her. The third man leaned over her shoulder. "Now you think about what you did." He said, mockingly.
And all three walked away, leaving her alone in the warehouse.

Technology makes the planning easy
An e-mail to make contact
A website to search for a location
Information exchanged to make a booking
A printer is required to get access to the prize
Then the rendezvous is set.
On the day, it is all down to precision timing
Putting on first one arm then the other
Buttoning and zipping to keep out the cold
Tightening laces
Then farewells are said.
Journeying through the city at dusk
The backdrop is dramatic
Anonymous in the crowd
Two methods of transport
One destination
Then the meet is on.
In the hubbub of the station
Brushing past people there is one detail left to chance
The precise location
Only a visual will confirm
A pedestrianized area and the neon signs
Then the path is right.
An important contact
Planned assignation
Co-ordinated Hello
Expectations are high
Yet tempered with doubt
Then it all falls into place.
We realise when we meet – we are dressed like twins
Trainers; jeans; warm coats and a backpack stuff to the zip
We had no idea that our perfect planning would go that far.
An evening of catch up; exchange and positive interaction
And the special prize
A good meal with excellent company (using a voucher).

Recently, a Florida resident, who formerly operated Florida airline fuel suppliers, was slapped with federal charges for fraudulent activities. According to the Department of Justice, the man was arrested and made his first appearance in the U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach on July 22, 2013. The man faces charges for honest services fraud and wire fraud. All allegations are linked to his alleged dealings with an Illinois-based airline company. In the past, the airline company provided cargo and passenger services for companies and U.S. government officials, including the departments of Homeland Security and Defense and the US Marshals Service. Earlier this year, the company was liquidated in bankruptcy proceedings. The airline blamed its financial troubles on recent changes within the military flight programs, which the company used to rely on for business transactions. Sources allege that the Florida man provided kickback payments to the airline's vice president of ground operations to help make certain that the airline supplied business to the suspect's companies. At that time, the suspect owned businesses in Sunrise. According to court documents, the man is charged with handing out approximately 40 kickbacks in wire transfers, gift cards, checks and cash from at least December 2005 through August 2009. If the man is convicted on the federal charges, he could face over two decades behind bars and a $250,000 fine for the most egregious charge. The vice president of the airline has pleaded guilty to charges associated with the scheme. He awaits his sentence. Moreover, three other individuals have been sentenced for their involvement. The Justice Department is now looking into other potential kickbacks from fuel suppliers. Assistant Attorney General Bill Baer notes, "The Antitrust Division will take enforcement action against those who subvert the competitive process by trading contracts for kickbacks, especially where the U.S. government is being victimized." When it comes to fraudulent legal matters, no two people are exactly the same. Some, as those charged in these cases, will be prosecuted and ultimately meted out lengthy prison sentences. Others may not be prosecuted. Some will fall between the two extremes. Many factors will determine the outcome of a case. One critical factor, which can be controlled, is the lawyer one chooses to represent him or her. Not all criminal defense lawyers are alike. Though no lawyer can predict or promise a particular result in your case, why would anyone not choose a skilled and seasoned criminal law specialist when freedom is at stake? Do your homework before choosing the lawyer who will represent you, then choose carefully and wisely. Categories: News Share Post

We all know how a great dressing can turn an ordinary salad into something truly extraordinary, but have you ever thought about using salad dressings as an ingredient in a recipe? Salad dressing is a surefire way to add pizazz to any tried and true recipe. There are so many amazing dressings in the Hidden Valley Farmhouse line and using them inside my recipes is a great shortcut to big flavor.
A bottle of dressing like my new fave, Hidden Valley Ranch Farmhouse Originals Southwest Chipotle, can really save the day, especially if you find yourself with a nearly empty pantry or fridge. Add a 1/4 cup or so to meatloaf, burgers and soups, spread it on a sandwich or drizzle it over a baked potato. No matter how you choose to use it, remember, dressing is not just for salads anymore.
serves: 4 – 6
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup Hidden Valley Ranch Farmhouse Originals Southwest Chipotle Dressing, plus another 1/2 cup for garnish
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 – 6 pieces of butter lettuce (or any lettuce you prefer)
- 1 large tomato, cut into thin wedges
- 1 small red onion, finely sliced
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, scallions, cilantro, garlic, Hidden Valley Ranch Farmhouse Originals Southwest Chipotle Dressing, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined.
Step 3: Using wet hands, roll about 1/4 cup of mixture into approximately 12 balls. Place onto prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake meatballs until they are cooked through, turning once halfway through the cooking process (about 20 – 22 minutes total).
Step 5: Place lettuce inside each of the rolls and top each with approximately 3 meatballs. Garnish with tomatoes, onions and a drizzle of Hidden Valley Ranch Farmhouse Originals Southwest Chipotle Dressing. Enjoy!

The middle east may have its camels, which are admittedly pretty awesome, but here in the Americas we have llamas. And also alpacas, which are kind of like mini-llamas. Unlike llamas, though, alpacas are not for carrying things; specifically, they are bred for their hair, which is a lot like sheep's wool. And although their native home is the Andean steppes, they're pretty popular up here in these United States, particularly as homemade fiber-arts like knitting make a popular comeback -- and tomorrow, Denver will become the epicenter of that popularity for the weekend with the Great Western Alpaca Show, which will bring over 1,200 alpacas to our fine city. Oh, did you not hear that? We said 1,200 alpacas.
Starting tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. at the National Western Complex, the Alpaca Show will be three solid days of serious, serious alpacas, featuring workshops on everything from purchasing your first alpaca (which we will definitely be at) to alpaca training, plus an alpaca art show (that would be photographs and drawings of alpacas), fiber arts displays and, of course, a straight-up shitload of alpacas. And the best part? It's all free.
The Alpaca Show is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m tomorrow and Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday; plan out your whole weekend with the full schedule of events. And now, because alpacas are so awesome, here's are a bunch of photos of alpacas:

Veterans gone wild in Miami
Svetlana Kuznetsova and Amelie Mauresmo got a wild card to the Sony Ericsson Open and made the most of it: Today, they won the doubles championship, defeating 3rd seeds Kveta Peschke and Lisa Raymond, 4-6, 6-3, 10-3. This is the team's second win; they won Eastbourne in 2006.

"...defeating 3rd seeds Kveta Peschke and Rennae Stubbs..."
It was Lisa Raymond teaming up with Peschke.

Of course it was, and I was looking right at their names. I am both exhausted and not possessed of much of a brain today. Thanks, Ronoso!

Thanks for pointing that out, Dani. I'm so used to the press not interviewing doubles teams, I forgot to look. They are hilarious together, which doesn't surprise me; each of them is so funny as an individual. The Bondarenkos have some competition!

Article from the 2016-04-19, of Sabrina Pflüger
Which currency would you like to shop in at connox.com?
Last week in Milan was the 55th Salone del Mobile: the most important trade show in the interior design industry. Manufacturers, designers and brands presented their new pieces not only on the show grounds themselves but also in various pop-up shops and showrooms in the city as part of the Fuorisalone Design Week.
Fuorisalone also allowed Vitra to present its design innovations in a specially chosen location. In the former offices of the designer and architect Antonio Citterio, Casa Vitra presented an impressive insight into their colour and material archives, which have been developed over the last ten years with designer Hella Jongerius.
The project was brought to life for the Milanese Design Week by Dutch designer Müller van Tol. The interactive exhibition of the Colour Machine allowed visitors to experience the colour and material world up-close. Fabrics and seat shells from Eames Plastic Chairs as well as the under frames of the Prouvé table were hanging from the ceiling or collected on rotating wheels, so that the viewer was led through Vitra's multifaceted world of colour with an impressive show of seemingly infinite combinations.
Designer Hella Jongerius has been the Art Director at Vitra since 2008, having already gathered plenty of experience in the worlds of textile and colour.
The pieces that were created as a result of the work on the colour and material archive were shown in a separate room of the Vitra Colour & Material Library. In the heart of the library was a presentation of the large collection of different textile lines specially developed by Vitra. The textiles unite the symbiotic interplay between technological progress and high aesthetic standards.
Anyone who didn't make it to the Casa Vitra can follow Jongerius' work on the Vitra Colour Library in the publication I Don't have a Favourite Colour, featuring detailed descriptions and powerful illustrations.
In addition to the colour worlds and their associated pop-up shops - selling accessories, home textiles and images from the Home Complements Collection and others - Vitra presented some exclusive new products in the Salone Grande. In a welcoming lounge atmosphere, guests were presented with prototypes of the classic Charles & Ray Eames lounge chair featuring a new fabric cover. If and when these new products will actually be available, however, is still to be confirmed.
Beside the upholstered Lounge Chair there was also the Grand Repos Armchair to marvel at. Fitting to the colour and material archive, the chair featured a noble and rich velvet cover, designed by former landlord Antonio Citterio to bring cosy retro charm into the home. It hasn't yet been confirmed when this new product will be available, but we can already imagine the velvety armchair being a special highlight at Christmas time!
Apart from the Casa Vitra, the Salone del Mobile featured (among other things) various designs from British designer and A&W's Designer of the Year, Jasper Morrison. At the award ceremony at the IMM Cologne earlier this year Vitra had announced some exciting innovations, and they were presented to the public for the first time at the Milan show.
Among the new products being presented was the Soft Modular Sofa. The design - a follow-on from the Place Sofa - has a soft silhouette and, as the name suggests, a softer cushioning for exceptional comfort. Unlike the Place Sofa, which is primarily used in the commercial sector, the new upholstered furniture is especially suited to the private sector. Various materials, which were again exhibited in the Colour Library at Casa Vitra, give the buyer the opportunity to have their sofa upholstered to their specifications.
The APC - All Plastic Chair, which was introduced for the first time at the Salone del Mobile, was also designed by Jasper Morrison. The chair, made completely of plastic, will be available in the autumn. The special feature of the design is its flexible backrest, which provides exceptional seating comfort. The next few weeks of production planning will see whether or not the chair is suitable for outdoor use. In any case, with a planned retail price of approximately €200, the chair is a new design piece that is definitely worth waiting for.
Another new piece from Vitra was the Wooden Side Table by design brothers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. The tables, which have until now been made exclusively of metal, now exude an even cosier feeling for the home, and were presented alongside a matching new Occasional Armchair. Also new: the Occasional Tables in three heights and the Eames coffee table available in marble, solid wood and veneer, making an ideal match with the Eames Plastic Chairs DSW and DAW.
Impressive, interactive, colourful and imposing - this is how the Swiss furniture manufacturer presented their design innovations not only at the Salone del Mobile fair, but also in the Casa Vitra. Reinventions of classics and innovative new pieces from big names showed design at the cutting edge with potential classics.

Retirement in Malaysia... just an exotic dream or a doable adventure? Making that decision is entirely up to you. To help you decide, you'll find all you need to know about retiring in Malaysia in our 9 part article series.
A great thing you'll notice when researching Malaysia is that all the materials are in English language.
Even official sources, like the Government's web portal, are written in English although the country's official language is Bahasa Melayu or Malay language.
Let's take advantage of this and dig right in!
Malaysia has a tropical rain forest climate with rather uniform temperatures and copious rainfall throughout the year. It is divided into three geographical areas: the highlands, the lowlands and the coastal areas. The higher the elevation, the greater the rainfall and the lower the temperatures. [Find out which climate region suits you best.]
Our research shows that Malaysia is yet another country where you can live easily on the US$1,300 base line we've discussed. Accommodation, food and household help are quite inexpensive. Other things however are more expensive than what you are used to from your home country. [Read more about the cost of living in Malaysia.]
Special Tip: When you want to send money to Malaysia, I recommend using Transferwise. It's fast, secure and cheaper than banks or other services like PayPal. Click here to see how much you can save when sending money from the US (or 50+ other countries) to Malaysia.
Before you decide to retire in Malaysia, you want to know what to expect in terms of its infrastructure. Let's take a look at getting there, getting around (driving on the left!) and staying connected. [Read the full article about Malaysia's infrastructure, driving, public transport and Internet options.]
Private schools are often the choice for expats as the difficulty in getting your child into the public school system is extreme, and the language barrier is high. While English is being introduced and promoted as a secondary language, the teaching languages are Malay, Chinese and Tamil.
Fortunately there are more than 30 international schools in Malaysia, offering American, British, German, French, Japanese and other curricula. [Read the full story about education in Malaysia here.]
Crime rates in Malaysia are better than they were and improving every year, but the rate of criminal activity is still high and regarded as dangerous by several organizations. The criminal activity that is highest is petty theft; there is very little danger of murder or burglary. [Click here to get the full picture and our safety tips.]
While you can own property as a foreigner, the requirements have been tightened over the past years. The most recent change was in 2014, when the minimum threshold for foreigners to buy real estate was raised from RM 500,000 (ca. $125,000 USD) to RM 1 Million (ca. $250,000 USD).
In some Malaysian states that amount is higher, in some it is lower. You may be better off with renting, which we advise to do anyway at least for 6 to 12 months. [Find out more about renting and buying real estate in Malaysia.]
If you've ever considered retiring in Malaysia, you will have heard about the "Malaysia My Second Home" Program (MM2H). Once qualified for this Government initiative, you'll be issued with a multiple-entry social visit pass, valid for 10 years initially with a renewal option. [Find out all about requirements and benefits of the Malaysia My Second Home program.]
Despite a shortage of medical staff in remote areas and a general lack of highly trained specialists, healthcare in Malaysia is considered as one of the best in the region. The healthcare system is divided into a public and a private sector.
We'll explain what health care options you have, and what they will cost you. [Read more about health care and health insurance in Malaysia.]
If you ever wanted to not just watch, but be part of religious festivals across various faiths, Malaysia is THE country for you. And with 14 national public holidays, plus a few more on regional level, you'll have plenty of opportunity to do so.
You are more of an outdoor person? No problem. How about exploring Malaysia's many caves with their unique flora and fauna or taking part in kite-flying competitions? [Click here to learn more about the Malaysian culture.]

It's been a while since I had a Friday's Favorite Five posting, but these goodies were too good to keep to myself:
1. Mardi Gras Macarons. Although Fat Tuesday is 31 days away, Mardi Gras has already started in & around New Orleans. Why not celebrate with Mardi Gras-themed Parisian Macarons made in New Orleans? Last sumer, my friend & student Louise brought me a collection of Macarons from a French bakery in Maryland. I had always wanted to try these delicate confections, but never had the opportunity. I savored every last bite of the stash Louise brought me and now I've been obsessed with buying more. Obsessed, like I get up in the middle of the night thinking about them. Unfortunately, I live in the sticks and Parisian bakeries are not exactly abundant, so I'm left to order on-line. I think I'm going to have to treat myself to these colorful tasties!
2. Cranky Pants. How cute are these hand knit pants? I love them! Baby A. certainly needs a pair!
3. Tape Swell Wrap Arounds. I was introduced to this fantastic company through one of my favorite design blogs, Twig & Thistle. When I actually have the time to make a handmade card, I tend to throw it into a plain old A2 envelope and send it off. How easy would it be to slap down one of these wraparounds and make a plain envelope into something smashing? While you're scoping out their site, make sure you check out their packing tape line - scrumptious!!
4. CHA Sneak Peeks on "The Scrap Review". I've been a loyal follower of this site for quite a while. They have real scrapbookers write review on the latest & greatest. They are currently featuring sneak peeks of new products launching at CHA this month. I'm dying to get my hands on Tim Holtz' new Sizzix line (look here & here), including the Movers & Shakers products. Yum, yum, yum!
5. This Mary Poppins handmade costume from Etsy seller Mom2rtk. Seriously. I would wear this costume with the hat, parasol & high heeled boots to take the kids to the park. Heck, I'd even wear it to go grocery shopping. Can you just see me strolling through Martins with rosy cheeks and a handful of coupons? I would totally buy it, but for the fact that it is $449.00. Damn.
Have a wonderful weekend!

As you know I have two little blessings. Lily Anne is just shy of 17 months and Caleb is 3. We attend church each Sunday, especially when we are in our home town. Our goal is to spend the worship service in the pew as a family. Our small church doesn't offer children's church, but if our kids are having a hard time, there is a nursery in the back they can visit. I prefer to keep them in the service with us learning how to sit, listen to the preacher and worship together as a family.
My husband is usually in charge of Lily Anne and I am Caleb's quiet reminder. I don't know about you, but I have a hard time keeping my 3 year old quiet at any time and church time seems to be the hardest. He knows what it means to sit still. He knows what it means to be quiet. He knows that he is expected to sit still and be quiet (within reason for a 3 year old) in church, but the moment we walk in the door he is talking in a booming voice, making screeching noises, laughing, burping, coughing, and the list goes on. My husband and I sit in the back of church and we try our best to keep him involved in the worship service by encouraging him to sing the songs. He loves to sing and he loves music. I remind him that the people want to hear what the pastor is talking about… the great things that happened this past week, those that are sick, and learning about Jesus. I try to keep him quiet with paper and a pencil or crayons, a book from home, a soft toy, or even his favorite toy trucks, but it is a constant struggle leaving me stressed as I exit the church doors and that is just keeping him in the service during the music portion. By the time the pastor begins his service, we take turns watching the children in the nursery.
Saturday night, I again Googled to try to find some ideas on how to teach Caleb to be quiet in church. In the past, I've read posts about practicing at home, which we do. He's great while I read stories to him. He could listen for an hour, but he does like to be involved in the story by asking questions, pointing, counting, and talking about the stories and I want that too as it builds his comprehension and vocabulary skills. We've even played quiet games where I time him to see how long he can be quiet while just sitting on the couch. We've made it up to 2 minutes. This time, I spotted Quiet Books, fabric books that keep little hands busy doing quiet activities by matching, pairing, sorting, counting, etc. "That a nifty concept," I thought. While I have a sewing machine, it's still in the box unpacked from our move 3 years ago. Even if I did pull it out, set it up, pull out my stash of fabric and begin sewing like a mad woman, Caleb would be in college by the time I finished one of these very intricate books and hopefully he would be able to sit quietly in church without one by then. I still liked the concept, but it had to be something I could work on that night (Saturday at 10:30pm) and have for him for church the next morning.
The wheels started turning and this is what I came up with…
It's not fabric, but it is still quiet and the activities are created in the same fashion with the intent on encouraging him to learn (not just play at church). I want him to associate church time as a learning time, not a play time. I had a couple of issues with most of the quiet books online (other than sewing). First, most of the tasks only required the child to unzip a zipper, lift a snapped section or button a button. Most of the pages would be completed in less than 2 seconds. I wanted to create something where the tasks were engaging and took some time to complete. The second issue was that some of the example quiet book pages included activities that would encourage talking (at least for my child), as they were felt story boards or included finger puppets... that didn't work for me.
Since it was Saturday at 10:30pm when I started this quest, I only created 2 activities to test out the effectiveness of the "Quiet Book" during church. Later, I would decide to make more or use it for something else. I also added 2 activities I already had.
When we went to church on Sunday, I carried the Quiet Book in my bag. We had our usual discussion on the way to church about how to sit and how to be quiet. For the first half of church, it was practice as usual. I tried to include him in singing with me, praying to Jesus, listening to the announcements, etc. When he could hold it in no longer, I brought out the Quiet Book. He was very interested in completing each task, but only once, except for his name puzzle which he did over and over probably 6 times. During this time, he sat in my lap as we went through the book. I did focus a lot of my attention on him and what he was doing, but it wasn't a struggle and I could still listen to the preacher from time to time and get the gist of his message. These activities got him through most of the sermon. About 15 minutes shy of church ending, I noticed he was done and about to start getting wild, I pulled out the raisins. They're a quiet activity as well and along with the support of a sippy cup, we made it through to the end of the service with a happy 3 year old and an unstressed mom. Win! Win! I plan to make more of these pages… in fact I have already added a couple. In addition, I want to include some Bible related activities like an animal matching game on Noah's ark. I will share these activities with you when I do.
For now, here are the activities that I included in Caleb's Quiet Book.
1. The Front Cover - This wasn't included in the initial trial on Sunday, but I think he will enjoy it. I wanted the cover to be just a engaging as any of the other pages within the book. There are actually several activities that we can do with it. The inner section displays a small road that a tiny foam car can drive around on. The outer section of squares can be used to work on multiple skills. He can just place one paperclip inside each square to work on fine motor skills as well as one-to-one correspondence. He can build fine motor skills by sliding the colored paper squares into the paperclips. He can work on patterning, counting, or even addition and subtraction later on by attaching the paper squares in a specific place and order. It's really a cover that will grow along with his skill level.
2. Name Puzzle - I already had this activity on hand. HERE is a post where I share how to make one and games you can play with it. I just slid the puzzle into the first plastic sleeve inside the binder and I was done!
3. Lacing Cards - Again, this was an activity I had made earlier this week. You may have purchased lacing cards or made your own, but these are great quiet activities! To make this one, I cut a file folder in half while it was closed so that when I opened the cut portion, it opened like a book. this gave it a little more stiffness. I drew the bear on the folder and used a hole punch to punch holes around the edge. I laminated the folder to give it some extra protection, then hole punched the holes again. I tied a string in a knot through one of the holes making sure the string was long enough to get all the way around the card. I attached a pipe cleaner... LIKE THIS.
4. Colors Activity - This is the activity I started Saturday night... Again, I used a file folder cut in half, the same way I did the lacing card, but this time I also cut it in half down the folded edge because it wouldn't fit in my laminated opened and I wanted to use it like a book. I sized a sheet of construction paper to the front and labeled it "Colors."
On the back of that sheet, I drew 10 squares and using a permanent marker labeled them each one color. I cut out same sized squares from 10 different colors of construction paper. I cut out 2 squares from each color. I glued one set of colors to a same sized square of file folder to provide it some stiffness and laminated them. The second set of colors, I glued to the other half of the file folder I cut previously. I used a permanent marker to label each color. Then, I added small Velcro pieces to the color squares and the squares on the file folders. I attached the soft side of the Velcro to the squares on the file folders and the rough side of the Velcro to the color squares.
For this activity, I started with all the color squares on the labeled squares shown by the picture on the top. Caleb then matched the color squares to the color squares on the left shown by the picture on the bottom. Later, when he can read color words, he can move them back to the matching color on the left.
5. Shape Activity - For this activity, I used the second half the of file folder and cut it in the same manner as before. I attached both the Color Activity and the Shape Activity together using 1 inch rings, so I took advantage of the space the back of the Color Activity game be to "store" the shape pieces as seen on the left side of the picture below. I create shapes the same way I created color squares above. Then, I placed Velcro on the back of the color page and the title page of the Shapes page as seen below.
Then, on the back of the title page as well as the second half of the cut file folder, I traced the shapes as seen below with permanent marker. I attached the soft side of the Velcro to the shapes in the book as well as the "storage" area of the book seen above. I attached the rough side of the shape pieces. I laminated everything prior to adding Velcro in order to make it last longer. Hopefully we will get a LOT of use out of these activities.
For this activity, Caleb removes one shape from the storage area and moves it to the matching shape in this activity area.
6. The Back Cover - Again, this is not something I included in the initial trial. I had it, but it wasn't laminated. My hope is that it will be a quiet activity, but I'm worried that we might get some horns tooting...
I used a colored piece of copy paper and stickers from Caleb's Thomas the Train Sticker book. For this activity, Caleb will drive one of his trains around the track... hopefully quietly...
I'm excited about using this book with him. I'm not letting him have it at home as I want to keep the activities new and fresh for him, but I will bring it along to other destinations where he needs to be quiet and respectful to others. I'm looking forward to continuing to make more quiet activities to add to this book. Right now, this Quiet Book is housed in a 1 inch binder. My plan is to add about 6 - 8 activities to the folder, but I will make more than that. I am going to have another larger binder where I will store all the activities. Then, I can change them out as needed based on his interest, skill level, how well the encourage quiet/or not, etc.
I hope this helps you if you are having the same issue I am. Let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your comments.
God Bless your Learning Journey~

When to Write Structural Engineering Statement of Purpose?
Once you've completed the high school/college and got the final results too, you're supposed to start practicing writing a SoP. Your SoP for structural engineering, as well as SoP for Canada student visa, is composed when you collect all the important documents to apply for the admission. In the case of writing it by yourself, the time to study samples is also required.
Therefore, give at least a month before sending the required documents/credentials along with the SoP to the respective university. There is not any specific span when you should begin to work on the SoP. However, the earlier you do this, the more chances will be to get the well-written copy of the application.
It Is Important to Write SoP Structural Engineering: Why?
This is particularly obvious today in light of the fact that most alumni programs have just a set number of confirmation spaces accessible. Personnel needs to know as much as they can about all candidates through your structural engineering master SoP or SoP for polymer engineering.
The statement of purpose exists to enable candidates to pass on something individual about themselves and to persuade the faculty making the affirmations determination that the candidate is a particularly appealing hopeful.
- Test scores, evaluations and degrees, establishments of an earlier examination and individual suggestions are exceptionally critical pointers of a candidate's future achievement.
- Be that as it may, this information doesn't uncover much about the individual, his/her inspiration, why the candidate is keen on that specific program, or whether the candidate is the sort of understudy the faculty needs around the division.
- It gives candidates the chance to exhibit data that isn't passed on through target information, in a reasonable, coordinate, and compact route, to clarify their interests, inspirations, objectives and unique abilities.
- The sample SoP structural engineering shouldn't be related to a compliment either the candidate or planned perusers. It must be straightforward.
SoP for PhD in Structural Engineering: The Do's and Don'Ts
While following the PhD sample SoP structural engineering, you must be familiar with the do's as well as don'ts. The applicants usually avoid giving focus to the small mistakes that become the reason for their rejection afterward. Therefore, think more and write less.
- Look on the web or email the office for data about the teachers and their exploration.
- Underscore everything from a positive point of view and write in functioning, not a latent voice.
- Utilizing little print is anything but a decent arrangement, better send 1 and 1/2 pages of print 11-12 than one page of print measure 8 (don't go more than two pages). Adhere to the guidelines about length.
- When composing your announcement, adhere to the focuses asked for by each program. In the event that a program stresses look into, clinical work, or work involvement, underscore those issues in your announcement.
- Follow the best PhD sample SoP structural engineering.
- Include the scores of exams i.e. RISA, GCSE test, EIT exam.
- Utilize explanations like "I've for the longest time been itching to be a . . ." or other overdone expressions.
- Endeavor to be amusing – you don't have the foggiest idea about your crowd, so diversion can reverse discharge.
- Utilize exceptional text styles or shaded paper.
- Rehash data from the application except if you utilize it to delineate a point.
- Utilize excessively regular expressions and nonspecific data.
Steps to Write a Triumphant Structural Engineering SoP
The statement of purpose for MS in structural engineering writing process is here to help you out in performing this task quintessentially.
- The initial step is to create thoughts for what to incorporate into your graduate school mission statement.
- Next, you'll need to choose your most impactful thoughts and models from your meeting to generate new ideas and mastermind them into a blueprint.
- Try not to feel like your first draft must be application-prepared. Next, with the assistance of your layout, you'll compose your first draft. Truth be told, your first draft doesn't need to be prepared for anybody's eyes yet your own.
- Attempt to ensure that your composition streams consistently and begin to cut focuses that appear to be less applicable. When you have a first draft, you'll need to make a first altering go through yourself to fix things up.
- They can peruse your SoP and give you counsel on the lucidity and association of your thoughts. Since you have a useful draft, it's an ideal opportunity to get input from other individuals-ideally individuals comfortable with the doctoral level college confirmations process.
- Next, you'll change your master's level college mission statement again dependent on the input you got from others.
- Get any remarks you need to address. After you get your last round of remarks from your perusers, it's the ideal opportunity for the last changes.

A 21-year-old Dade City man has been accused of having sex with a Hernando teenager and sending her computer images of his genitals.
Hunter Lee Widner met the girl online last year and by July, they had developed a "boyfriend-girlfriend'' relationship, according to a Hernando County sheriff's report.
In March, Widner picked up the girl at her bus stop and the two had sex in Widner's car in the woods near Hernando High before he took her back to school, the report states.
On April 28 and 29, the report continues, Widner sent online photos of his genitals to the 15-year-old girl, who told investigators that she and Widner had sex twice before at his home.
Widner was arrested on Wednesday on one count of sexual battery and three counts of computer pornography.

It's official -
I say goodbye to Summer and welcome Autumn with open arms and closed toed shoes.
This is a big step...besides sneakers when exercising I haven't worn closed toed shoes for months.
I thought I would embrace Autumn (my favorite season) by wearing my cowboy boots today.

Nice boots. I went shopping with my room mate today. I tried on a few shoes but only really considered the crocs. But I don't know that those qualify as true shoes. They are so strange...but so comfy. I love Autumn too. Beautiful!ReplyDelete
ooooo, love the cowboy boots!! Remind me of my younger days. I lived out West, in Alberta for a few years, where everyone & their dog wore cowboy boots. hehehehee...ReplyDelete

WARNING: in the first instalment of my sales round up, I'm looking at shoes that still cost more than your weekly grocery shop. Or your monthly shop, in some cases. The shoes I've spent the most money on I've usually bought in the sales – so the sale price is still higher than I'd normally spend, but the shoes are so beautiful and so special, and I've been swooning over them for so long, that it's been worth it. Some of you might think I'm mad, but I know some of you have treated yourselves to a few of these already! You might recognise a couple of the pairs below from my own collection, too…
The style name of this first pair just so happens to be the name of my home town on the Isle of Wight (where I am typing from right now!) which makes them all the more special for me. I LOVE these brogues – they're very heavy but very comfortable, and the weight means they make a reassuringly loud noise when you walk in them. They have a two-tone sole which is GORGEOUS and the claret colour goes with everything. There are still plenty of sizes available online.
The Grenson sale has been on since before Christmas, so you'll need to act fast if you want to snap up a pair. I've chosen to showcase these Amelia boots not just because they are dead nice, but because there are quite a few sizes left.
This lovely cow print boot from one of my favourite brands, Penelope Chilvers, is well stocked, size-wise, and also comes in a Zebra print if you prefer monochrome. Well worth the investment as Penelope's boots are REALLY well made.
As featured in my book (and on my feet), these Northern Cobbler double monks have just been reduced. I get SO MANY compliments when I wear these shoes – they're just beautiful. I love that the brogue pattern is unusually asymmetric and they're super comfortable, too. If you didn't get a copy of my book in your Christmas stocking, you can also pick one up on the accessories page of the Northern Cobbler website while you are there – and it comes with a free leather book mark!
The shoescribe.com sale is looking great, not only because of these snazzy ankle boots by Kenzo, but all the other brands stocked there too. I pretty much only ever shop on this website when the sale is on as it's so brilliant and well worth waiting for. The reductions are great and there's absolutely loads to choose from – for bigger and smaller budgets alike.
Finally, a brief look at Nicholas Kirkwood's sale. OK, OK, I know these are still the price of a small car, but they're pretty amazing. Nicholas Kirkwood is to shoes what Ed Sheeran is to pop music – innovative (I stand by this statement – that song Sing is really clever!), quirky and EVERYONE wants to work with him. As well as this collaboration with Suno, Kirkwood works with top London Fashion Week designers Roksanda, Erdem and Peter Pilotto to produce their catwalk shoes. So if you can afford them, why not, I say. You're buying into a piece of fashion history.
Next time – what to buy in the sales that's DIRT CHEAP (hurrah!).

Ovarian Hormones Awaken Newly Discovered Breast Stem Cells
Researchers have used advanced cellular, bioinformatics and imaging technology to reveal a long-lived type of stem cell in the breast that is responsible for the growth of the mammary glands during pregnancy. [Press release from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research discussing online prepublication in Nature Cell Biology] Press Release | Abstract
(Ranked by impact factor of the journal)
Induced p53 Loss in Mouse Luminal Cells Causes Clonal Expansion and Development of Mammary Tumors
The authors report that induced p53 loss in Krt8+ mammary luminal cells lead to their clonal expansion without directly affecting their luminal identity. Although p53 did not directly control the luminal fate, its loss facilitated acquisition of mammary stem cell-like properties by luminal cells and predisposed them to development of mammary tumors with loss of luminal identity. [Nat Commun] Full Article
Dub3 Inhibition Suppresses Breast Cancer Invasion and Metastasis by Promoting Snail1 Degradation
Scientists identified Dub3 as a bona fide Snail1 deubiquitinase, which interacts with and stabilizes Snail1. Dub3 was overexpressed in breast cancer; knockdown of Dub3 resulted in Snail1 destabilization, suppressed epithelial–mesenchymal transition and decreased tumor cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. [Nat Commun] Full Article
MARK4 Inhibits Hippo Signaling to Promote Proliferation and Migration of Breast Cancer Cells
Investigators identified mammalian MARK family members as activators of YAP/TAZ. They showed that depletion of MARK4 in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells results in the loss of nuclear YAP/TAZ and decreases the expression of YAP/TAZ targets. [EMBO Rep] Abstract | Graphical Abstract
Automethylation of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 7 and Its Impact on Breast Cancer Progression
Scientists demonstrated that R531 of protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT)7 is self-methylated, both in vitro and in vivo. Automethylation of PRMT7 played a key role in inducing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition program and in promoting the migratory and invasive behavior of breast cancer cells. [FASEB J] Abstract
A Novel Orally Bioavailable Compound KPT-9274 Inhibits PAK4, and Blocks Triple Negative Breast Cancer Tumor Growth
The authors investigated a new clinical compound KPT-9274, which has been shown to inhibit PAK4 and NAMPT. They found that KPT-9274 (and its analog, KPT-8752) can reduce the steady state level of PAK4 protein in triple negative breast cancer cells. [Sci Rep] Full Article
The Mitotic Checkpoint Regulator RAE1 Induces Aggressive Breast Cancer Cell Phenotypes by Mediating Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
An in silico analysis of data retrieved from GENT and cBio-Portal identified ribonucleic acid export 1 (RAE1) upregulation in breast cancer tissues relative to normal breast cells. Functional studies of various cell lines showed that RAE1 induced invasive and migratory abilities by regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition signals. [Sci Rep] Full Article
Stromal Fibroblasts Present in Breast Carcinomas Promote Tumor Growth and Angiogenesis through Adrenomedullin Secretion
Researchers showed that adrenomedullin (AM) and AM receptors mRNAs are highly expressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) prepared from invasive breast carcinoma when compared to normal fibroblasts. They showed that MCF-7 admixed with CAFs generated tumors of greater volume significantly different from the MCF-7 xenografts in nude mice due in part to the induced angiogenesis. Anti-AM receptors antibody and AM22-52 therapies significantly suppressed the growth of CAFs/MCF-7 tumors. [Oncotarget] Full Article
Pre-Clinical Evaluation of Small Molecule LOXL2 Inhibitors in Breast Cancer
Investigators tested the anti-tumor properties of two generations of novel small molecule lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) inhibitor in the MDA-MB-231 human model of breast cancer. They confirmed a functional role for LOXL2 activity in the progression of primary breast cancer. [Oncotarget] Full Article
The BIG 2.04 MRC/EORTC SUPREMO Trial: Pathology Quality Assurance of a Large Phase III Randomized International Clinical Trial of Postmastectomy Radiotherapy in Intermediate-Risk Breast Cancer
SUPREMO is a Phase III randomized trial evaluating radiotherapy post-mastectomy for intermediate-risk breast cancer. 1688 patients were enrolled from 16 countries between 2006 and 2013. Scientists report the results of central pathology review carried out for quality assurance. [Breast Cancer Res Treat] Full Article
Hormonally Up-Regulated Neu-Associated Kinase: A Novel Target for Breast Cancer Progression

Henrietta Lacks's Family Wants Compensation for Her Cells
The eldest son of Henrietta Lacks wants compensation from Johns Hopkins University and possibly others for the unauthorized use of her cells in research that led to decades of medical advances. The cells taken from the 31-year-old after she died of an aggressive form of cervical cancer in 1951 were the first to live outside the body in a glass tube. They were dubbed the HeLa cells and have become the most widely used human cells that exist in scientific research. [The Washington Post] Editorial

When the recession hit, the auto world was one of the industries hit the hardest. The market it had relied on was no longer spending money and they in turn were about to go belly up. With a controversial loan, the industry was able to keep going to 2015, where it manage to set a record sales year. 2015 may be the year where it finally shows the auto industry is back.
For years, people avoided buying a new or used car. They simply couldn't afford it with due to elements of the recession. For many, it was also because lenders had cut off access to subprime loans. Those with bad credit or low credit were unable to find car loans even when they needed it. As the years went on and the auto industry slowly recovered, that policy of being harder on offering loans started to go away and the lenders were being more open to loaning.
The employment rate is at the highest it has been in years and gas is at the lowest it has been since the recession first hit. It's no wonder that people are finally getting out to purchasing vehicle. For some, it had finally hit the breaking point. They had been holding off and hoping that the current vehicle they owned would last through the hard time. Many drivers were avoiding trading in a used vehicle being unable to afford it. They sat on their current vehicle for longer than recommended and are now at a point where they simply need to get a new or used vehicle.
If you're one of those drivers, who has held out for as long as they could or if you have bad credit or low credit and need to get a new or used vehicle, be sure to contact us at Approved Loan Store. Get started today by filling out our secure online auto loan application here, and for more auto news and buying tips, like Approved Loan Store on Facebook, follow Approved Loan Store on Twitter, and subscribe to Approved Loan Store on YouTube!
