Important Games This Week
Wed 2/3 – William & Mary @ Old Dominion. This will be the Tribe's chance to get back into the conference title hunt. William & Mary lost in their first meeting with Old Dominion by three in a game that had ten lead changes. If the Tribe can pull off a road win it will be another notch to a resume that includes wins at Wake Forest and at Maryland.
Sat 2/6 – George Mason @ Drexel. Coming into this week the Dragons have won four of five of their conference home games. Their top-flight defense will go up against the first-place Patriots for the only time this season, a team that has won seven in a row and 12 of its last 13 games. Ryan Pearson appears to be back for the Patriots and they are starting to hit on all cylinders. If the Dragons want to contend for a top 4 seed, a win would go a long way towards that goal.
Team Reviews
George Mason (10-1)
Cam Long, battled and overcame serious cramping problems (Washington Post), and has found his groove as he scored a team-high 18 in a dominant 77-66 win over Delaware Wednesday night. Long made 8-9 free throws and helped propel a 17-0 first half run to take control, leading by as many as 21 early in the first half over the Blue Hens. The Patriots were without Ryan Pearson due to a tight hamstring but senior Louis Birdsong stepped in and scored 11 points and grabbed 7 rebounds, tying the team high with Mike Morrison. Saturday, the Patriots needed all 23 points from Cam Long as the Patriots held on to win 70-68 over James Madison. Long has scored 20 or more in four of George Mason's last five games and help extend their season-high win streak to seven. Ryan Pearson returned to score 7 points and grab a team-high 8 rebounds.
Old Dominion (9-2)
The Monarchs coasted to their eighth straight win with a 56-40 win over Georgia State Thursday night. Gerald Lee led the Monarchs with 16 points and Trian Iliadis nailed three treys off the bench as the Monarchs got off to a hot start, shooting 50% from the field. However, Lee was frustrated with the team's play. Northeastern made nine threes over all the zones the Monarchs threw at them Saturday, knocking the Monarchs out of first place in a 10-point road loss. Kenyon Carter, who grabbed 7 rebounds, said they had their chances. "When a team is hitting shots like that, you've just got to weather the storm."
Northeastern (9-2)
The Huskies shot a season-low 31% from the field as Drexel dealt Northeastern their first loss in the new year, falling 61-48 at home Wednesday night. Nkem Ojougbough led the Huskies with 14 points and five blocks but NU could not keep up early with the Dragons, who went on a 14-0 run early to keep the game in control. Chaisson Allen led the charge Saturday afternoon, making 7-10 shots and scoring a team-high 19 in Northeastern's 74-64 win over Old Dominion. The Huskies led by as many as 19 in the second half as they shot a season high 59.5% from the field. Matt Janning scored 17 points and dished out a team-high 7 assists.
The Rams found their statement win, tying a CAA record with 20 three pointers in a 112-53 win over Towson on Wednesday night. Larry Sanders, who went for 17 points and 14 rebounds, said he was sick of losing and the Rams did not let up: shooting a season high 63.1% from the field, dishing the fourth most assists in CAA history (30) and scoring the most points in Rams history since 1978. Joey Rodriguez scored a season-high 22 points as the Rams coasted late by Georgia State 78-62 on Saturday night. The game was not without some anxious moments as the Rams scored just nine points in the first twelve and a half minutes of the second half, only to see get a three-point play from Ed Nixon to help keep the lead. Rodriguez made 12-13 free throws and dished out 9 assists.
William & Mary (7-4)
The Tribe was dealt their third straight loss, unable to score in the final 2:52 in a two-point loss at James Madison Wednesday night. Quinn McDowell made 5-6 three-point field goals on his way to a team-high 23 points. The Tribe came back from an eight-point halftime deficit and had many chances to tie or win but the Tribe missed their final six shots. David Schneider's two free throws with 9 seconds left gave W&M breathing room in their 54-51 win over Drexel Sunday afternoon. Schneider made just 1-8 shots but his 11 points from free throws helped William & Mary snap a three game losing streak. Quinn McDowell scored 12 points on 3-8 shooting.
Drexel (7-4)
Chris Fouch and Jamie Harris both scored 13 as Drexel swept the season series at Northeastern Wednesday night. The Dragons led by as much as 15 and outrebounded the Huskies by 16. Jamie Harris scored 13 points but Drexel could not keep their three-game win streak alive, falling 54-51 at William & Mary Sunday. The Dragons could not come back even while holding the Tribe without a field goal in the final 6:21. Sammie Givens and Chris Fouch each had 11 points, Evan Neisler pulled down a team-high 9 rebounds.
Hofstra (4-7)
Head Coach Tom Pecora took a different approach to his team's losing streak. Pecora banned his players from wearing any "Hofstra" gear to practice until they broke out of their skid. It appeared to work Wednesday night, scoring the most points in a first half under Pecora on their way to a 93-54 win over UNC Wilmington. Greg Washington set a career-high 10 blocks and scored 14 points. Charles Jenkins scored 16 of his team-high 24 points in the first half as the Pride shot a season high 56.7%. Charles Jenkins scored 21 of his team-high 27 points in the second half and Chaz Williams added 18 points and 8 boards to beat Delaware by 10 at home Saturday. Tom Pecora moved to third on the Hofstra all-time wins list with his 147th win.
James Madison (3-8)
Denzel Bowles racked up another double-double — 17 points and 15 rebounds — in a comeback win over Radford Monday night. The Dukes came back on a 9-0 run to turn a one-point deficit with 3:12 left to an eight point lead. Radford tied a record for fewest free throws made and fewest attempted going 0-2 from the line. Pierre Curtis' two made free throws with 2:08 to go broke the sixth tie of the game and gave the Dukes a 65-63 win over the Tribe Wednesday night. Despite not making a field goal in the final 4:11, Curtis made the only two free throws the Dukes made in the half to give them the win. Denzel Bowles led the Dukes with 21 points on 7-13 shooting and a team-high 8 boards. Denzel Bowles notched a double-double with 20 points and a team-high 13 rebounds but James Madison was unable to come back Saturday afternoon and fell 70-68 to George Mason. The Dukes could not overcome a deficit as large as 12 in the second half even shooting 69.6% from the field and making four threes. The Patriots forced 20 turnovers and scored 20 points off of them.
Georgia State (3-8)
Georgia State shot its worst percentage since 2003 in a 16-point loss at Old Dominion Thursday night. The Panthers got down big, shooting just 27.6% from the field and ending up behind 13 at halftime. Joe Dukes and Trae Goldston led the Panthers with 11 points each. The Panthers have lost five straight road games. Joe Dukes scored 20 points but the Panthers could not make baskets late, and shot 29.4% from the field in the second half, as they fell at Virgina Commonwealth by 16 Saturday night. James Fields' three pointer with 6:27 left cut the VCU lead to three but the Rams went on a 9-2 run to close out the Panthers chances for good.
UNC Wilmington (3-8)
The Seahawks' sixth straight loss would be Benny Moss' last. UNC Wilmington suffered its second worst loss in the Seahawks' history in the CAA, losing by 39 to Hofstra. Johnny Wolf led the Seahawks with 14 points but Chad Tomko, playing with a lingering sprained right ankle, did not score a point in 17 minutes. Tomko said, "We didn't show any emotion or any pride." Soon enough Moss was told that he was "reassigned" in the athletic department and assistant Brooks Lee will serve as the interim coach. Moss went 41-74 in four seasons, 23-45 in the CAA. … The Brooks Lee era did not start as planned Saturday. The Seahawks were frustrated by a zone and made just 5-34 shots from behind the arc and squandered a lead as large as eight early in a 58-53 loss to Towson. Matt Wilson, who scored 2 points and grabbed 2 rebounds is out indefinitely with a broken clavicle. John Fields scored a team-high 13 points and pulled down 21 of UNC Wilmington's 47 rebounds. The Seahawks have lost seven of their last eight games.
Delaware (2-9)
The Blue Hens were doomed by poor shooting early as the Blue Hens got down by as many as 21 in a 77-66 loss at George Mason Wednesday night. Jawan Carter, Alphonso Dawson and D.J. Boney combined to shoot 1-17 early as the Patriots dominated on the floor and on the glass, outrebounding the Blue Hens by seven and blocking seven shots. Carter led the Blue Hens with 23 points on 8-18 shooting, making three of the Blue Hens' four three point field goals. The Blue Hens started out slow, making just one of their first 16 shots, and getting down by as many as 13 in a 77-67 loss at Hofstra Saturday. Jawan Carter scored a team-high 22 points and grabbed 9 rebounds but the Blue Hens couldn't rebound from making just seven field goals in the first half.
Towson (2-9)
The Tigers, playing without Robert Nwankwo and Brian Morris, never stayed in the game with the Rams and fell to an embarrassing 112-53 loss at Virginia Commonwealth Wednesday night. This loss was the worst in the Tigers 30 year history of Division I play and the most since giving up 120 to Maryland in 1994. Jarrel Smith and Josh Thornton led the Tigers with a team-high 12 points. The Tigers got a team-high 13 from Josh Thornton and, as a team, made 14-15 free throws in a 58-53 win at UNC Wilmington. Their zone stifled the Seahawks as they made just 2 of their last 27 three pointers in the game. Calvin Lee recorded a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Robert Nwankwo returned after a two game respite with a shoulder injury to score 2 points and grab 5 rebounds. Brian Morris is expected to be back for the Tigers' next game Wednesday at Drexel.

Choose your room
if you want solid comfort and a feeling of things as they used to be, you'll come to this famous old 12th century inn. It lies next to the church of St Odulphus, in the old Cornish village of Pillaton, tucked away among the charming winding lanes so typical of this county, yet only 15 mins from the Tamar Bridge. Here you will find real atmosphere and the unselfconscious dignity of great age; for the Weary Friar originally housed the builders of the church and then became a rest-house inn. Today it welcomes you to good food and cheerful service. The large stone fireplaces, the copper and brass and the dark beams contrast strongly with the white walls, but the Weary Friar moves with the times too. There are fitted carpets everywhere and every bedroom is heated and has it's own bathroom, built in wardrobe and colour telvision. We are famous for our cuisine and very proud of our reputation. Luncheon and dinner menus are a la carte or table d'hote. The restaurant is open to non-residents who have often come a long way to eat some of the house specialities. Pillaton is ideally situated for visiting the lovely spots of East Cornwall and West Devon. Just below the village is Lynher Valley where the river tumbles over weirs and under bridges. It is full of salmon and trout, ask about the fishing. Whether you have been golfing, fishing, touring, riding, sailing, swimming or mearly walking in the lovely lanes that have so little holiday traffic, it is pleasant to find yourself, at evenfall, far from the madding crowd, deep in the cornish countryside. Not only are we a good place to come and visit during the summer, but also 'out of season'; for spring comes early and our autumns are generally warm; and best of all, at Christmas the Weary Friar really comes into it's own. Tall red candles, holly, ivy and mistletoe are everywhere. The yule log burns and the morris dancers pay us a visit and the carolers call. Inside, the punch flows and christmas fare abounds; a truly old-fashioned english country scene

Le many others, I had the luxury to grow up around cars. I was blessed to have a 1968 Camaro SS in my garage as a child, and can remember helping my stepdad wash and wax it before taking it out for a drive. For a short time, we were even graced with a 1971 Datsun 240Z. I called it the "dirt bag" as it was a major fixer-upper, but I was a young kid and it was before I knew what a gem that car really was. It was times like these that cars grabbed my interest and refused to let go.
Along with cars, I've always been passionate about the written word, and went to school in Virginia at Sweet Briar College for my BA in Creative Writing. I'm surprised that some of my professors didn't give me more of a hard time for turning in essays and poems about the latest car releases or classics that I'd read about online or in magazines. Fortunately, I found a kindred spirit in one professor who gave me the latest car magazines when he finished reading them, so I could get my car fix.
However, being a girl interested in the car industry has given me, and no doubt others like me, trouble. Many don't expect me to know much about cars other than "oh that one's so pretty" or "that one's really fast." I've had to earn my place in this industry as a woman. I've proven that I know what I'm talking about, whether it's a classic car, supercar, or everyday car.
Although cars are a big part of my life, they aren't all of it. I enjoy traveling to new and exciting places, losing myself in a good book, and I am currently attending graduate school for my MFA in Creative Writing.
Here at Automotive.com, I'm glad I've had the chance to combine my love of cars with my love of writing

San Francisco's so-called nudity ban has been in effect for one year as of Saturday and nude activists are staging a rally and body freedom parade to mark the anniversary.
The nudist community has spoken out and undressed many times in the past year in protest against the city ordinance authored by San Francisco Supervisor Scott Weiner that bans public nudity.
The law was implemented on Feb. 1, 2013 after it was approved by a 6-5 vote by the board in December 2012.
RELATED: Naked Activists Busted At Rally; Naked Wedding Planned
There are exceptions under the ban, including for children under 5 and for attendees at certain permitted events such as the Folsom Street Fair and Bay to Breakers footrace.
Many nudists, who call themselves proponents of body freedom, will hold a noon rally Saturday at Jane Warner Plaza at the intersection of Castro, 17th and Market streets.
If there is rain, the protest will be held at the Center for Sex and Culture at 1349 Mission St.
Protest leader Gypsy Taub said in the year since she was arrested for standing naked in front of City Hall on the first day of the ban there has been growing acceptance of the body freedom movement.
She said nude supporters successfully held a naked wedding on the steps of City Hall last month at which police allowed naked dancing for about 30 minutes.
In a blog post about the protest, she said organizers were working to obtain a permit to avoid risking arrest at the anniversary rally.
At the protest last year, four people were cited and detained by police.
The ordinance stipulates that violators will be cited and fined $100 with higher penalties for additional offenses.

I may have told some of you that I had a hunch that Barkley would come back for his senior season. It didn't always seem particularly likely, but I had a feeling he might. He seems like the kind of guy who wants to win and wasn't just in college to help him make it to the NFL. It seems that is the case after all as Barkley announced at 4 pm ET live on ESPN that he would be returning to USC for his senior season. He stated that he felt the 2012 Trojan squad had "serious unfinished business" and made it clear that his goal was to return to USC to try to lead them to a Rose Bowl or perhaps even a BCS National Championship. That will be a tall order, but Barkley returns to a team loaded with talent especially on the offensive side of the ball. The offensive line is the only potential question mark, but he has two future first round picks at wide receiver in Robert Woods and Marqise Lee plus an emerging star at running back in Curtis McNeal. I am very much looking forward to watching him for his senior season, and I'm kind of glad he decided to come back. It is worth noting that he is losing star left tackle Matt Kalil, so the offensive line will need some tweaking. I think he had more to gain from coming back for his senior year than Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Landry Jones do. Luck has made it clear he is leaving, but Griffin and Jones have not made their decisions public yet. Personally, I would be surprised if both didn't declare considering Griffin has become the clear #2 quarterback due to Barkley's absence and Landry Jones' stock has moved up as well due to the lack of 1st round talent at QB this year outside of Luck, Barkley and Griffin.
Now, I like the decision Barkley has made, but it's not a perfect one. He is opening himself up to a lot of risk. He could get injured, he could have a down season, and even if neither one happens he is opening himself up to a boatload of nit-picking criticism because media pundits and draft evaluators have an extra year to evaluate him to try to figure out every aspect of his game. I think the decision makes a lot of sense, but the attention he will have on him may end up being comparable to what Luck endured this season. He isn't quite the prospect that Luck is, but he is going to be the consensus #1 pick for the 2013 NFL Draft now. That means a lot of attention for everything he does. I think he is probably ready for that, but it's still a lot of pressure on a pretty young kid.
I think it will work out for the best though and I think Barkley will help lead USC to the Pac-12 Title Game and a possible Rose Bowl berth. I'm not sure I'd bet on them for the National Championship game, but anything is possible. Regardless of how USC finishes the season it would be foolish to bet against them going to a bowl game for the first time since Barkley's freshman year considering all the talent they are returning. I for one can't wait to see them play next year.
Thanks for reading!

What is hemochromatosis?
A single-gene disease that causes iron accumulation in the tissues of the body. Diabetes is a primary complication if hemochromatosis goes untreated. Hemochromatosis is sometimes referred to as "bronze diabetes."
How common is it?
As many as 1 in 200 Americans are believed to carry both copies of the gene for hemochromatosis, and it is estimated that about half of them will eventually develop complications. That puts it roughly on a par with type 1 diabetes for prevalence. Like type 2 diabetes, it is severely underdiagnosed.
How is hemochromatosis treated?
Once it is diagnosed, it is managed extremely effectively via frequent phlebotomy (blood letting).
Hemochromatosis: The Background
Hereditary hemochromatosis is the most common single-gene disease in Western populations, affecting 1 out of every 200-300 people. Yet it is almost unheard of by the general public, and many health professionals are insufficiently aware of it. Because the disorder can cause diabetes via damage to the pancreas, it is something that deserves greater recognition in the American Diabetes Association community.
Hereditary hemochromatosis is the most common of several "iron overload" diseases, which are characterized by an excess accumulation of iron in the body. In the case of hemochromatosis, a single gene mutation causes extra iron to be absorbed from food in the intestine, and the body lacks an efficient means of excreting the excess iron it takes in. Over time, this iron accumulates in the tissues of the body, most notably the pancreas, the liver, and the heart. The extra iron builds up in the organs and damages them.
Without treatment, the disease can cause these organs to fail, leading to diabetes, cirrhosis, and heart disease. In many patients, the buildup of iron eventually becomes so excessive that it visibly shows up in the skin, turning it a dark gray or bronze color. In fact, hemochromatosis is sometimes referred to as "bronze diabetes" because of the appearance of some patients when they are diagnosed.
Symptoms and Diagnosis of Hemochromatosis
Joint pain is the most common complaint of people with hemochromatosis at the time of diagnosis. Other common symptoms include fatigue, lack of energy, abdominal pain, and loss of sex drive, as well as the symptoms typically seen with diabetes and heart disease. Symptoms tend to occur in men between the ages of 30 and 50 and in women over age 50.
Blood tests (a transferrin saturation test or a serum ferritin test) can determine whether the amount of iron stored in the body is too high. It is also possible to test directly for the defective gene. Despite its prevalence and the availability of simple tests for it, hemochromatosis is often undiagnosed and untreated.
The initial symptoms can be diverse and vague and can mimic the symptoms of many other diseases. Also, doctors may focus on the conditions caused by hemochromatosis - arthritis, liver disease, heart disease, or diabetes - rather than on the underlying iron overload.
Cause of Hemochromatosis
Hemochromatosis is caused by a defect in a gene called HFE, which helps regulate the amount of iron absorbed from food. A person who inherits the defective gene from both parents (someone who is homozygous) may develop hemochromatosis.
Studies indicate that virtually everyone who is homozygous for the HFE defect develops increased iron levels, with about half of them developing complications as a result. People who inherit the defective gene from only one parent (someone who is heterozygous) are carriers for the disease but usually do not develop it, although they may have slightly increased iron levels.
The Founder Effect: An Interesting Genetic Story
Hereditary hemochromatosis represents a striking example of the "founder effect," which describes a genetic disease that arises from a mutation in just one or a few individuals. In the case of hemochromatosis, it is believed that a single individual in Europe, 60 to 70 generations ago, was the sole origin of most of the hemochromatosis seen in the world today.
A chance mutation in the HFE gene in this individual was passed on, and because the defective gene didn't cause any problems in people through child-bearing age (and may have conferred some benefit in times of nutritional deficit), there was no negative selection to stop it from being passed on. Because of its origin, hemochromatosis today most often affects Caucasians of Northern European descent, although other ethnic groups can be affected by other iron overload diseases.
Men versus Women
Although both men and women can inherit the hemochromatosis gene, men are much more likely to be diagnosed with the effects of hemochromatosis than women, and men also tend to develop problems from the excess iron at a younger age.
The most likely explanation for the difference: menstruation and childbirth. Because women regularly lose a significant amount of blood every month until menopause, as well as during childbirth, they consequently lose a significant amount of iron associated with that blood. For women who are homozygous for hemochromatosis, the blood loss appears to be just enough to keep the hemochromatosis asymptomatic until well after menopause.
Treatment of Hemochromatosis
That difference between men and women in the progression of hemochromatosis is a clue to the simple, straightforward treatment for hemochromatosis: phlebotomy, or blood-letting. When first diagnosed, people with hemochromatosis are put on an intensive schedule of phlebotomy to bring their iron levels down. They must give a pint of blood once or twice a week, often for many months.
Measures of blood iron levels are monitored, and when they are finally in the normal range, the patient is put on a maintenance schedule of giving a pint of blood at greater intervals, usually every 2 or 3 months. Unlike diabetes, hemochromatosis is virtually cured through its treatment, with patients remaining completely asymptomatic as long as iron levels are monitored and maintained in the normal range.
If treatment begins before any organs are damaged, associated conditions — such as liver disease, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes 3 can be prevented. The outlook for people who already have these conditions at diagnosis depends on the degree of organ damage.
For example, treating hemochromatosis can stop the progression of liver disease in its early stages, which means a normal life expectancy. However, if cirrhosis has developed, the person's risk of developing liver cancer increases, even if iron stores are reduced to normal levels. People with diabetes resulting from pancreatic damage usually see an improvement if not a reversal of their diabetes, depending on how much damage has occurred.
Where does the blood go?
The American Red Cross, which controls about 45% of the nation's blood supply, does not currently accept donations from people with known hemochromatosis. Everyone agrees that the blood is safe and of high quality. There is no risk of passing on a genetic disease through blood transfusions. But the Red Cross has a long-standing policy that potential donors are not allowed to receive direct compensation for their donation (beyond the usual orange juice and cookie). Because people with hemochromatosis would otherwise have to pay for their therapeutic phlebotomies, they would in effect be getting something of value for being able to donate for free. Thus the Red Cross has ruled that such donations violate their policy.
FDA regulations do permit hemochromotosis patients to donate blood, but with some special restrictions on how the blood is marked and how the blood banks operate. As a consequence, few blood blanks in the US currently accept blood from people with hemochromatosis, and most of the blood they give as a result of therapeutic phlebotomy is discarded. (People with hemochromatosis who wish to donate blood should check to see if any blood banks in their area will accept their donations.) This is not true in other countries, which have generally removed any restrictions on this blood.
The American Medical Association and many other groups have advocated for removal of restrictions for the acceptance of blood donations from people with hemochromatosis.

Ghost Hunting Tour Wednesday June 8th at Casa Esencia
I'm conducting a 21+ tour of the paranormal tonight (Wednesday, June 8th) at Casa Esencia, formerly Maria Teresa Restaurant, at 800 Rio Grande NW. That place is literally crawling with ghosts, demons, monsters, ogres and middle-aged Hispanic women in maroon dresses. I think there's also a dance party there, but whatever. I'm looking for ghosts and maybe scooping ice cream or something. Casa Esencia: it are hornted.

Group calls legislative package 'breakthrough' victory for ecosystem protection
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) praised the California Legislature for passing new water legislation in both the Senate and Assembly today. It will be sent to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign into law.
"This is a major breakthrough that sets a new framework for providing both water supply reliability and protecting our fragile ecosystems," said Laura Harnish, regional director of the EDF. "It puts California on course for a smarter water future."
"Future generations will look back at this legislation as the first big step on the path to a sustainable water future for California," said Cynthia Koehler, EDF's senior consulting attorney, who helped to negotiate the environmental safeguards in the legislation. "It is the most progressive package of state water policy reform in the last three decades."
"This package is only the beginning of moving toward a secure water future for the state," said Elgie Holstein, vice president of EDF's land, water and wildlife programs. "It sets an important standard for other states and the nation, by establishing that protecting and restoring the largest estuary on the West Coast--the irreplaceable Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay-Delta ecosystem--is a goal on par with providing a reliable water supply."
According to the New York Times, the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta will undergo comprehensive ecosystem restoration. There also will be an onslaught of water conservation goals and groundwater monitoring, as well as new dams.
The New York Times also reported that the bills include an $11.1 billion bond issue set for voter approval next November. Localities will pay for the remainder of the project, which costs approximately $40 billion.
Disputes over water supply and environmental protections have been at the forefront of vigorous and sometimes emotional debate in California. Drought, economic hardship in farming communities, extended salmon fishery closures and signs of imminent ecological collapse all combined to help convince the California Legislature that it had to act to protect water supply for future generations.
"No one got everything they wanted, but for the sake of our state's environmental and economic future, we all felt that we had an obligation to come together and keep working until we could reach an agreement," Koehler said. "That's what we have done."

Then, faster than you say "Powder me!" DeGeneres announced on her show that the rumors were true.
She added, "I am very, very excited about it… It's a very cool thing…I'm honored and the photo shoot was 'easy, breezy, beautiful…CoverGirl.'"
DeGeneres is making history as an out lesbian celebrity representing a major cosmetic line. And in addition to being not straight, she is also not girly, which makes the selection of DeGeneres for the role a fascinating cultural statement—regardless of whether or not that was ever CoverGirl's intention.
Sure, DeGeneres is popular. In fact, according to Ad Age, "Ms. DeGeneres ranked as the most popular celebrity in the U.S. in a poll by Harris Interactive earlier this year. She edged out talk rival Oprah Winfrey, who generally enjoys higher ratings but saw her popularity dinged after her strong endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama's presidential bid."
But in addition to being popular, she also challenges conventional notions of femininity (and, arguably, feminine beauty) every time she dons a vest, adjusts her tie or marries Portia de Rossi.
The response to the news has been pretty tame. In AOL's WalletPop blog post, "Are cosmetics companies the new anti-glam?" the writer observes:
Pop-culture analysts may say what they will about pant suits, but there's been no substantial amount of public snark aimed at CoverGirl for selecting an out, soft butch lesbian as a spokesmodel. If anything, the only hint of a backlash has been against DeGeneres for aligning herself with a company known for animal testing.
And lesbians weighing in on the subject don't even seem surprised by the progressive nature of CoverGirl's casting.
On our own forum, AfterEllen.com reader Sista says, "She's natural, she's dynamic, she's 50, she's the new face of CoverGirl. And, she's a lesbian! How cool is that???" And Dorothy Snarker mused, "If we can explode the myths about lesbian femininity and redefine traditional beauty norms, can the total eradication of the mullet be far behind?"
Snarker also wrote on her blog, "You've come a long way, lesbo," and it's true. Back in the early days of lesbian feminism, lesbians were considered "fierce" when we made the personal political, established collectives to record women's music, and wrote blistering manifestoes about dismantling (or dismembering) patriarchy.
In today's Tyra-fied world, the ability to "smile with your eyes" might be the only requirement.

Hart Schaffner Marx looks back to move forward
The year: 1906
Hart Schaffner & Marx was the first company to recognize that while "all men are created equal," they don't fit into their clothing the same way. With an uncanny understanding of the wants of their customer, the Chicago-based company introduced the first proportioned suits on the market, offering a variety of 'basic body' types that recognized the individuality of the wearer. "Tall, Short, Stout, and Thin" fit suits joined the ranks of the undiscerning singular fit that crowded the sales floors across the country. The innovation was well received at the time, and the foresight is evident given its a practice that still dominates the market place more than 100 years later.
Today, more than ever, we understand that same sentiment Joseph, Harry, and Max had: men are different. Today we recognize that men vary in more than just their physical size and shape, they differ (perhaps more importantly) in their motives for dressing well to begin with; not all men wear their clothing the same way, nor for the same reasons. Men rightfully demand more out of their clothing today. Just as we did in 1906, we feel compelled to meet those demands.
While a long time in the making, we came to the precipice of this conclusion during 2012, the year of our 125th anniversary. Focusing not only on what we perceived to be the strengths of our previous collections, we gathered feedback from retailers and consumers alike on what we could improve. We learned much and acted upon it.
We focused on a contemporary look without abandoning the DNA of the brand, nor the comfort, softness, and balance Hart Schaffner & Marx has developed over the decades.In some instances we offered only minor tweaking, primarily on established garments in an effort to evolve with the times. However, the bulk of our efforts were spent on thoroughly updating product to meet this new standard, and in an unlikely move, we created an entirely new model in an effort to push ourselves ahead of the times.
In addition to the basic body types we developed, those that became the industry standard at the turn of the 20th century, we continue our legacy of innovation and introduce our 3 latest models for 2013: The Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.
Each model, much like their namesake cities, continues to evolve with their own distinct personality. The silhouettes not only accommodate the wearer's body, but fits his renewed attitude towards what he wears.
Our next post will give you an insider's look at our first 2013 prototype garments & detail the new Hart Schaffner & Marx collection

Drive a Ferrari 458 Italia On a Racetrack!
Ferrari continues to improve upon perfection with the 458 Italia. The Ferrari 458 Italia is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive V-8 Berlinetta that was first unveiled to the public on September 15, 2009 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Designed to be a successor to the Ferrari F430, the 458 Italia is derived from an entirely new design platform, which intergrates technology developed from Ferrari's involvement in Formula 1. more on the Ferrari 458 >
Expectations were high for the 458 especially after the success of the 430. Needless-to-say the F430 and the 430 Scuderia are very impressive, and any replacement would have very large shoes to fill. Ferrari did not disappoint. The 458 Italia tops its predecessors in all categories, not only raising the bar at Ferrari, but setting a new standard for all exotic supercars. With blinding acceleration and superior handling, the Ferrari 458 Italia can do a quarter mile in 10.8 seconds and corners like it's glued to the asphalt leaving drivers begging for more. This car is so exciting it should have come standard with a heart defibrilator.
Derived from the shared Ferrari/Maserati engine department, (Maserati has essentially been the luxury division of Ferrari since Ferrari took full control in 1999 after having a majority stake in the company since 1997) the 458 Italia produces 560 hp at a screaming 9,000 rpm. 398 foot pounds of torque are delivered at 6,000 rpm, with 80% percent of the torque at 3,250 rpm! The naturally aspirated engine features direct fuel injection, a first for Ferrari mid-engine street cars. 0-60 mph takes just 3.3 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph. Breaking the 200 mph barrier, makes the Ferrari 458 Italia the first volume production Ferrari to scale the 200 mph mark.
Unlike other models of Ferrari, the 458 Italia has only one transmission option. The 458 utilizes a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox that directs power to the rear axle. The 458 does not come with the option of a manual transmission, marking it only the fourth model in Ferrari's long history in which a manual transmission is not offered. The other models not to include a manual option were the Enzo, Challenge Stradale and the 430 Scuderia.
Ferrari introduced a new design concept whereby the 458 Italia carbon-ceramic brakes include a prefill function that forces the pistons within the calipers to push the pads into contact with the discs on launch, eliminating the delay when the brakes are applied. This concept added to the pre-existing antilock braking system (ABS) creates a drastic improvement to braking, bringing the vehicle from 62 mph to 0 mph in 107 feet.
Ferrari Formula 1 driver and racing superstar, Michael Schumacher participated in the exterior and interior designs of the 458 Italia. In collaboration with Carozzeria Pininfarina, who have been involved with all of Ferrari's exteriors of late, the F458 was designed with aerodynamic efficiency and downforce as a top priority including the deformable winglets of the front grill that lower at high speeds to reduce drag and increase downforce. An ironic turn of events considering it was the late Enzo Ferrari himself who said, "Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines." Nevertheless, Ferrari engineers remain confident that Enzo would have been pleased with the 458 Italia.
The interior design features many changes, notably the relocation of many column stock controls to the steering wheel, giving a more Formula 1 type feel. This was done to create unimpeded access to the paddle shifters. The turn signals take a little getting used to since they have been turned into buttons on the steering wheel, initially creating a very unnatural feel. Other questionable design choices include placing navigation controls along with audio controls in pods that flank the steering wheel, making access to these items impossible for a passenger. Additional cabin improvements include a repositioning of the driver seating position, creating a much more comfortable seating position than what was offered in previous Ferrari models.
If you thought that Ferrari could not top the success of the 430 line, prepare to be pleasantly surprised with the superior handling and performance of the Ferrari 458 Italia. Being that Ferrari has once again raised the bar considerably higher than what was available to previous volume production models, this begs the question: what will Ferrari do next?less >

To detach cells from the wall of the culture tubes place on ice for 10 minutes. Invert tubes several times until the majority of the cells are in suspension. Centrifuge tubes at 800 x g for 5 minutes. Adjust the concentration of cells to 2 x 107/mL in fresh medium. Before centrifuging prepare a 24% (v/v) solution of sterile DMSO in fresh medium containing 8% (w/v) sucrose. The solution is prepared as follows: Add 1.05 g sucrose to 10 mL of fresh medium and filter sterilize through a 0.2 µm filter; Add 2.4 mL of DMSO to an ice cold 20 x 150 mm screw-capped test tube; Place the tube on ice and allow the DMSO to solidify (~5 min) and then add 7.6 mL of ice cold medium prepared in step 3a. The final concentration will be 24% (v/v) DMSO and 8% (w/v) sucrose; Invert several times to dissolve the DMSO; Allow to warm to room temperature. Mix the cell preparation and the cryoprotective agent, prepared in step 3, in equal portions. Thus, the final concentration will equal 12% (v/v) DMSO + 4% sucrose (w/v) and 107 cells/mL. The time from the mixing of the cell preparation and DMSO stock solution to the start of the freezing process should be no less than 15 min and no longer than 30 min. Dispense in 0.5 mL aliquots into 1.0 - 2.0 mL sterile plastic screw-capped cryules (special plastic vials for cryopreservation). Place the vials in a controlled rate freezing unit. From room temperature cool at -1°C/min to -40°C. If the freezing unit can compensate for the heat of fusion, maintain rate at -1°C/min through the heat of fusion. At -40°C plunge into liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, place the vials in a Nalgene 1°C freezing apparatus. Place the apparatus at -80°C for 1.5 to 2 hours and then plunge ampules into liquid nitrogen. (The cooling rate in this apparatus is approximately -1°C/min.) The frozen preparations should be stored in either the vapor or liquid phase of a nitrogen refrigerator. Frozen preparations stored below -130°C are stabile indefinitely. Those stored at temperatures above -130°C are progressively less stabile as the storage temperature is elevated. To establish a culture from the frozen state place an ampule in a water bath set at 35°C. Immerse the vial just to a level just above the surface of the frozen material. Do not agitate the vial. Immediately after thawing, do not leave in the water bath, aseptically remove the contents of the ampule and inoculate a 16 x 125 mm screw-capped test tube containing 13 mL ATCC Medium 2695.

If you're a turkey and Martha Stewart offers you a drink, run!
The domestic doyenne told Stephen Colbert she has plenty of experience killing Thanksgiving birds with her bare hands (six so far this year!), and even has a method for doing it.
"You know those little bottles of like, cognac and bourbon that are on the airplanes?" Stewart told Colbert during an appearance on "The Colbert Report" Wednesday night. "Well, before the bird is slaughtered - "
U.S. & World
It was too much for the faux news funnyman, who interrupted incredulously, "You get the bird drunk?"
Apparently so. But most dead turkeys walking would probably prefer to putt a buzz on before getting their necks wrung, so give Martha credit.

When you think about it, This was the last time mankind ever lived in peace. Advances/Innovation - The Tower of Babylon was probably one of mankinds greatest creations.

THE PUBLIC EYE: Searching for Republican Soul
Despite the pugnacity of its leaders, the Republican Party is in bad shape. In 2012 it lost the Presidency, the Senate, and the popular vote for the House of Representatives. More important, it has lost its identity. Other than opposition to everything President Obama proposes, Republicans have no vision for America. Nonetheless, like an aging parent that no longer drives but truculently holds onto the keys to the car so no one else can use it, Republicans are part of the national political process: a perpetual stumbling block. How did they get this way and is there any chance they could find their soul? -more-

Participative approach:
Employee training does not mean loading information and knowledge into the mind of a person about to embark on their collaboration on a project as though they were a container. Quite the contrary, it is about setting up a framework of relations, motivation and learning that makes the training a space for participative instruction and creation of thought, where both parties are contributing to the process. In this course you will learn some ideal techniques for teaching and passing on knowledge, that will also lay out the full training process as a series of phases in which the trainee is monitored, making for a more sound process of learning and instruction during the work training.
You also become acquainted with the characteristics and recommendations to keep in mind during training, such as:
- Setting of the session
- Empathy
- Coherence
- Clarity
- Active participation
- Feedback
Questions: critical thinking
Teaching methodology:
This method will allow you to learn valuable guidelines for teaching that should prove highly useful when conducting employee trainings. The methodology is above all geared towards collective knowledge building, that is, the instructor possesses the information, experience and knowledge to pass on, but at the same time during the process he or she also welcomes valuable contributions and resources for the project from others. The proposal is to teach while continuously incorporating new ideas and keeping it a two-way street.
This way, the entire team is invited to assist in constructing knowledge. This helps combat a sense of contentment, by consistently generating new ideas for improving the quality of work, in a constantly evolving cause that all team members contribute to.
At the end of the course you will have the tools you need to conduct successful employee training with virtual work teams in an efficient, optimum manner.
New Ways to Reach Out
The virtual work mode involves new ways of reaching out. From the first contact you have with the people on your virtual team you need to use the proper tact and care. Training personnel is essential if your intention is to build the knowledge, skills and talents of your virtual team.
This course is targeted to people who have virtual teams and are interested in improving their skills and abilities through the use of virtual personnel training. A person never stops learning, especially true in this ever changing online medium. This the perfect opportunity to upgrade the technical, conceptual and methodological tools you use to conduct online training.
Some aspects that are covered in the course are:
- The key rules of a good trainer
- The perfect virtual environment for training
- Dynamic and interactive training
- Dynamic and bidirectional learning and education
- The trainee as knowledge builder
- Tools for virtual instruction
Through practical activities, you will be able to:

I am testing mobile application and have one question regarding the offline mode. When there is no connection, what should be the right behavior when user press Log out button?
My concern is if the app allows log out then on server this user status will still be logged in, this can cause some miss communicating between app and server.
