Ken Block wins Las Vegas GRC finale
Block Breaks Through
Ken Block consistently qualified at the top of the field throughout the GRC season. However, bad luck and first-turn crashes kept him off the top step of the podium. Block finally broke through in the season finale, taking advantage of a Tanner Foust start-and-stop penalty midway through the final to take his first win of the year. "The variety of events and tracks for the GRC this year was great," said Block. "The X Games tracks, Bristol, everything was great. But it was great to finish first here in Vegas and have GRC step up and make it such an amazing event. I think we are getting the sport right where it needs to be."
"Topi" Fine In Fourth
The Finnish phenom had the season points title in the bag coming into the Vegas finale. Although "Topi" had a bad start, he found his way to the front of the race by the end and finished fourth. Heikkinen won five consecutive GRC races in the middle of the season, including gold-medal wins at the X Games in Munich and Los Angeles.
Tanner Foust
Foust continued to be one of the strongest and most consistent drivers in GRC in 2013, but he failed to break through against Heikkinen over the course of the year. The inaugural GRC season champion finished second in Vegas and is already gearing up for 2014. "This is the first Vegas event that I haven't won," said Foust. "But I'm still really happy because it's a great week have SEMA in town at the same time and being able to showcase our sport right down the road from the biggest trade show in the automotive world."
Heavy Medal
Ken Block holds up his first-place medal from the GRC finale in Las Vegas. Despite running well all year, Block had yet to win a race. "It feels really good for me and the team to finish this way," said Block. "It's been a tough, but good, year for us."
Travis Pastrana
Vegas may have been the GRC swan song for the X Games superstar, who has not yet committed to the 2014 GRC season. Pastrana called 2013 "easily the most disappointing in his career." He struggled to juggle his NASCAR Nationwide Series racing commitments with the GRC schedule and the addition of a baby girl on Labor Day. Pastrana managed a third-place finish in Vegas. "It was a surprisingly good race for us," said Pastrana. "It was awesome to get out here with these guys and have some fun and get a result."
Ken Block
Block avoided the early troubles that had plagued him all season in the GRC events. After Foust took his stop-and-start penalty, Block took the lead and never looked back.
Podium Boyz
Tanner Foust, Ken Block and Travis Pastrana celebrate their podium finishes after the last race of the 2013 GRC season.
Brian Deegan
Brian Deegan had a disappointing end to the 2013 season. A crash in qualifying forced him out of his heat and he was unable to make the finals in the last-chance qualifier. Overall, Deegan came away in third in the overall season points standings and told X Games he's excited for the team's prospects in 2014.
Joni Wiman -- GRC Lites Season Champ
The young driver from Finland continued his 2013 GRC Lites season dominance by winning his sixth consecutive race. Wiman secured the Lites season points championship in his previous race in Charlotte. With the win in Vegas, he broke countryman and 2013 Supercar season points champion Toomas Heikkinen's record for consecutive wins in a GRC season. The protege of rally legend Marcus Gronholm is set to make the jump into the Supercar field in 2014.

'Landslide is an understatement!'... Jay Rehak and Lois Ashford win re-election to Chicago Teachers Pension Fund trustees... The two will remain President and Vice President of the $10 billion CTPF
Jay Rehak and Lois Ashford, classroom teachers whose election to the Board of the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund ignited what have become massive changes in the Chicago Teachers Union and the struggle for public schools in Chicago, were re-elected for an additional three-year term as teacher trustees to the $10 billion fund in the election held in all of the city's public schools on November 9, 2012. Rehak and Ashford had been challenged in the election fight by two teachers representing the coalition of two aging caucuses in the union, the UPC and PACT. The challengers were defeated decisively.
Lois Ashford and Jay Rehak (above) celebrated their re-election during a party at Chicago's Union Park Tap following the announcement of their victory in the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund re-election on November 9, 2012. Substance photo by George N. Schmidt.When the election results were tallied by Election Services Corporation, hired by the CTPF, the results showed that Ashford and Rehak had been re-elected by what one observer calls a "crushing" margin. The results:
Lois Ashford, 7,385
Jay Rehak, 7,260
Mark Ochoa, 4,357
Kelly McFarlane, 4,198
The victors celebrated their win at a post-election party at the Union Park Tap following the announcement, with supporters who included many members of CORE, the Caucus of Rank and File Educators, which had backed their initial election and their re-election.
The election on November 9 culminated a two-month period of campaigning with Rehak and Ashford opposed by former CTU Financial Secretary Mark Ochoa, now a teacher at O'Toole Elementary School, and Kelly McFarlane, a teacher from Washington High School.
Supported by the United Progressive Caucus (UPC) and the Pro-Active Chicago Teachers (PACT), Ochoa and McFarlane issued a leaflet which was distributed by an email list that UPC members had stolen from the union before their President, Marilyn Stewart, had been unseated by Karen Lewis and CORE in 2010. The email mailing from the UPC/PACT alliance contained some of the most stunning lies ever told in a recent union election. Many teachers who received it asked CORE and Substance how their email addresses had been obtained for use in the election. No answer was forthcoming from UPC/PACT.
Chicago Teachers Pension Fund Vice President Lois Ashford (left), President Jay Rehak (center), and Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis joined together in the victory celebration following the announcement of the victory on November 9. Substance photo by George N. Schmidt.Rehak and Ashford ran on their three-year record, which following the economic collapse of 2008 - 2009 showed some of the highest gains in the history of the pension fund. By 2011, after colleagues had defeated the remaining UPC trustees in elections in 2010 and 2011, Rehak and Ashford were elected President and Vice President of the CTPF.
The election was held under the auspices of the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund (CTPF.org), which is independent of the union and the Board of Education. The CTPF has regularly hired Election Services Corporation to conduct the elections, which are quickly counted using scanner technology. For 70 schools, electronic voting was used for the first time. Charter schools also employ teachers who are members of the pension fund, but the majority of those were apparently denied the right to vote by their administrators, who fear union organizers coming to the teachers in their anti-union schools. The majority of charter school teachers were denied the right to vote despite their membership in the pension fund.
Two observers (this reporter and CORE co-chairman Al Ramirez) watched the vote counting at CTPF. One member of the UPC PACT group, Linda Goff, was present at the beginning of the counting but left without waiting for the vote totals. Neither Ochoa nor McFarlane came to the pension fund offices during or after the counting. Nor did they designate observers, as CORE did.

Thanks! Now let's get ready for the attacks
I write in gratitude to my colleagues throughout the CPS system, who helped get Lois and I elected. We could not have won without the collective efforts of many people -- too many to list here.
I'm also grateful to those who may not have voted for j-Lo, but took the time to vote in this election. Our internal CTU and charter school democracies are strengthened by participation.
Mark Ochoa and Kelly McFarlane are also to be congratulated for stepping up and being willing to run for the Trustee position. Their willingness to run also strengthens the democratic process for all of the educators in Chicago.
Finally, there is no doubt he coming year is going to involve great struggle especially as it relates to legislative attacks on our pensions. We need to be ready to provide a united, collective response to those attacks. In the days ahead, let's turn our communal energies to protecting our retirement assets.

What's it like to be a bus driver? How's it different from a bus passenger? How we get where we go shapes our perspectives and our understanding in ways we miss.
Marin Proper and Greater
- BioMarin opened its new downtown San Rafael headquarters to much fanfare, with the mayor and lieutenant governor in attendance. The move brings 300 workers to the most transit-accessible place in the county; here's hoping they take advantage. (IJ)
- Novato's new economic development director has some big ideas for Novato, especially downtown, and that could mean some positive change is on its way for the beleaguered city. (IJ)
- Tam Valley residents spoke out against zoning for 34 new residences at Tam Junction, saying they would cause illness, environmental harm, traffic chaos, and injury to neighbors. (Herald)
- Road maintenance, housing, and the county safety net will get the bulk of a $5 million surplus allocated by the Marin Board of Supervisors. Still to be decided is how to split $46 million in funding for pension and health liabilities. (IJ)
- Protected class I bicycle lanes reduce injuries by up to 90 percent where installed, according to a new survey out of Toronto. (Streetsblog)
- Amtrak continues its move toward moderate-speed trains with a successful 110-mph test in Illinois. That segment is expected to cut about an hour off of the Chicago-Saint Louis travel time. (The Hill)

The Toll
Our transportation system killed two people and injured two others this week.
- Alejandro Torres was killed by a driver in Santa Rosa while crossing the street. The driver, Sebastian Valdoz, who was uninjured, says he didn't see Torres, who was well into the crosswalk. Santa Rosa police are investigating the cause but accused pedestrians of being over-confident when they have the right-of-way and have traditionally laid fault at the feet of the dead. Torres was 24. (PD)
- Dorothy Buechy, who injured herself in a car crash last Wednesday, died of her injuries in Santa Rosa on Saturday. She was 86. (PD)
- The IJ reports that the rash of accidents in Monday's rains slowed down the commute but writes not a word about injuries.
- The Tiburon man who tried to run down a pedestrian because of the pedestrian's plaid shirt was banned from driving for three to five years. This is on top of a one year jail sentence. (IJ)
- A big-rig driver lost control of his truck in the rain and crashed it in Santa Rosa, spilling diesel fuel and injuring himself. (PD) … A bicyclist was hit by a driver in Sebastopol on Friday and suffered major injuries. (PD)

What type of income proof do I have to provide?
Why use a Mortgage Agent?
What is the Homebuyers Plan?
Do I qualify for the 5% downpayment program?
What should I expect for closing costs?
Closing costs are approximately 1.5% of the Purchase Price. The following are approximate costs:
What is Property Transfer Tax and do I have to pay it?
What type of income proof do I have to provide?
In most situations lenders require a comfort level that the borrower has sufficient income and cash flow to service the mortgage as well as any other obligations that they may have. The higher the Loan to Value (ie mortgage amount vs. purchase price) the more important this becomes as the lender is placing less reliance on the value and equity in the property and more on the earning power of the borrower. The following is a summary of what Lenders require depending on what type of job you have:
Salaried Employees
Hourly Employees
Commission Income
Overtime - Will be used as long as there is a proven track record - 3 years evidence (T-4's).
Bonuses - Once again a 3 yr track record required.
Part-time Job - should be in place for a couple of years before using the additional income.
Tips - generally not recognized unless declared for tax purposes.
Car Allowances - This varies from lender to lender.
Alimony and Support - Evidence that payments have been made regularly and a copy of divorce agreement is required.
Investment Income - must be received continuously. This source of income is limited to interest, dividends or some type of ongoing revenue. Capital gains, which result from the liquidation of an asset is a 1 time occurrence and can't be used.

Institutional Policies
A. Attendance:
Effective Spring Term 2010, student absences will be recorded from the first day the class meets. Regular and punctual attendance in all classes and laboratories, day and evening, is required. Students who are absent for any reason should always consult with their instructors. Course syllabi must provide specific information regarding attendance, including, for courses involving the internet, online activity that constitutes "attendance." Also, both tardiness and early departure from class may be considered forms of absenteeism. In all cases, students will be held responsible for completion of course requirements covered in their absence.
Additionally, it is the student's responsibility to drop a course for nonattendance. Course instructors establish policy with regard to attendance in their respective syllabi and may drop a student for excessive absences. Absences are considered excessive when more than 12.5 percent of the total contact hours of instruction in a semester, including lecture and lab, are missed. For example, in a three-credit-hour lecture class, students may be dropped after more than six contact hours of absences. In a four-credit-hour lecture/lab class, students may be dropped after more than eight contact hours of absences. Absences are counted regardless of whether they occur consecutively.
In special programs with additional accreditation or certification standards, additional attendance requirements may be enforced but faculty must clearly explain these policies in their syllabi. Students who stop attending class for any reason should contact the instructor and the college registrar to officially withdraw from the class. Students may be required to consult with an advisor or designee before dropping.
Failure to officially withdraw may result in a failing grade for the course. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw officially from a class by submitting a completed Withdrawal Form to the Admissions and Records Office.
B. Student Responsibility for Success (Alamo Colleges Policy F.6.2):
As members of the Alamo Colleges learning community, students, faculty, staff and administrators all share the responsibility to create an atmosphere where knowledge, integrity, truth, and academic honesty are valued and expected. A clear acknowledgment of the mutual obligations of all members of the academic community emphasizes this implicit partnership in fostering the conditions necessary for student success.
In this relationship, the Alamo Colleges provides institutional policies, procedures, and opportunities to facilitate student learning that encourage interaction, involvement and responsible participation. Inherent in the academic climate is the expectation that students will assume responsibility for contributing to their own development and learning. Academic success is directly tied to the effort students put into their studies, the degree to which they interact with faculty and peers, and the extent to which students integrate into the campus life.
1. Engagement
- Create connections and build relationships with faculty, staff and students (visit during office hours, join clubs and organizations, participate in student activities, etc.);
- Stay informed of policies, procedures, deadlines and events for academic and co-curricular activities;

- Develop a peer support system to identify student contacts for questions, group assignments, etc. regarding academic and co-curricular activities;
- Communicate with College personnel promptly regarding academic or co-curricular concerns and assistance requests;
- Carefully consider the information provided by College personnel and make decisions using that information;
- Check the Alamo Colleges' Web Services regularly for emails, holds, student records, financial aid status and announcements;
- Submit disability documentation if seeking services and request academic accommodations in advance of each semester.
3. Academic Success
- Complete courses with passing grades and maintain in good academic standing (2.0 GPA) status;
- Read and follow all syllabi;
- Purchase textbooks and required supplies in a timely manner;
- Attend classes regularly and on time, with as few absences, late arrivals, and early exits as possible;
- Arrive to class with all needed materials and completed assignments for that class period;
- Be attentive in class and actively participate as appropriate;
- Devote sufficient time for studying;
- Ensure integrity in all aspects of academic and career development;
- Accurately represent one's own work and that of others used in creating academic assignments. Use information ethically and exercise appropriate caution to avoid plagiarism on all assignments;
- Notify faculty in advance or as soon as possible about absences and provide documentation as appropriate;
- Consult faculty members in advance when unable to complete projects, assignments, or take examinations as scheduled.
4. Self-Responsibility and Responsibility to Others
- Maintain accurate and complete degree/certificate major selection and contact information including name, address, phone number and emergency contact;
- Balance personal obligations and educational pursuits. Work with a counselor / advisor to design a realistic schedule that dedicates adequate effort to be successful in college studies;
- Know and follow the regulations and guidelines outlined in the Student Code of Conduct and Student Handbook;
- Maintain respectful and appropriate behavior within and outside the classroom;
- Ask for help when needed. Use all available resources and facilities provided by the College to enhance the learning experience;
- Attend scheduled advising sessions, tutorials, and other appointments. Cancel or reschedule only with good reasons as early as possible;
- Arrive prepared for tutorial sessions, bringing all needed materials (books, syllabi, rough drafts, calculators, assignment sheets, etc.).
C. Textbook Availability
A student of this institution is not under any obligation to purchase a textbook from a university-affiliated bookstore. The same textbook may also be available from an independent retailer, including an online retailer.
A comprehensive final evaluation, not to exceed three hours in length, shall be given at the end of each course at the official scheduled final exam time. Any exceptions to this requirement must be approved by the appropriate Dean. Other evaluations are given at the discretion of the instructor.
A student who must be absent from a final evaluation should petition that instructor for permission to postpone the evaluation. A student absent without permission from a final evaluation is graded "0" on the exam.
Incomplete Grades. The conditional grade of "I" may be issued to a student having a passing average on all completed coursework but for a justified reason, such as illness or death in the family or by providential hindrance, has been prevented from taking the final examination or completing other required coursework. The "I" becomes an "F" in one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the end of the term unless the student completes the balance of the coursework with a performance grade of "D" or higher. Re-enrollment in the course will not resolve the "I." The student and faculty must fill out an Incomplete Contract, clearly defining the work remaining to be finished.
Evaluation/Grading Procedures/Methods of Assessment: Customized by the individual instructors.
Grading Scale: A – 100-90
F – 59 and below

I've only recently become familiar with the delights of drinking port and vintage port especially. Until now my main focus has been Burgundy, but having shared a bottle of vintage port which a friend pulled out of the family cellar (no idea what it was - think it was a 1960s vintage) my eyes (and throat) were opened up to a fantastic tipple.
I have been reading some of the posts about the tastings at TBH, which is a 10 minute walk from where I work. Would love to come along one evening. Never been to a tasting before, but I'm sure I can work it out!
I'm in the process of converting an unused garage into a storage cellar. Having fun doing it myself, but as a consequence the project is proceeding at the pace of a thousand snails.

Flights to Philippines with Qatar Airways
International tourists have been coming to the Philippines for many years, attracted by the magnificent opportunities for surfing, island-hopping and diving. There is however a great deal more to this country than snorkelling and sandy beaches, as you'll discover when you travel to the Philippines with Qatar Airways.
If you wander a little beyond the famous coastline you'll discover a completely different world of ancient rice terraces, tribal villages and crumbling Spanish buildings in the jungles of the interior. Even if you don't feel adventurous enough to make that particular journey, you'll still feel the rich mix of cultural influences in cities like Manila. The Malay, Islamic, Spanish and American cultures all mix here and can be seen in every facet of daily life. The great range of tantalising cuisine, colourful and exuberant festivals, and the old colonial towns that people come here to see are all a result of this ethnic melting pot.
More than 150 different languages and dialects are spoken in the Philippines, and the present-day inhabitants have Malay, Spanish, Chinese and Middle Eastern ancestory. Despite the great diversity of ethnicity, Filipinos are united in offering a legendary welcome and hospitality to visitors, so you'll feel right at home from day one of your trip.
The Philippines has an especially good reputation for entertainment, and much of the best of it is absolutely free. Colourful festivals and fiestas are held all through the year in every region, may with ties to the country's Spanish colonial past. The Spanish influence is still felt in the national cuisine, too, with roast chicken and fresh fish on most menus and mouth-watering desserts and pastries of every kind.
Two things you'll never be short of in this beautiful country in Southeast Asia are food and entertainment, and from the moment you fly to the Philippines with Qatar Airways you'll begin creating memories of a lifetime.

Coast Guard officials deployed ships and airplanes to search the Atlantic on Tuesday for the captain of the HMS Bounty, which went down in hurricane-ravaged seas.
The Coast Guard is optimistic Robin Walbridge, 63, of St. Petersburg, Fla., could still be alive in his blazing red survival suit 90 miles off the North Carolina coast. Wallbridge went overboard early Monday when the replica 18th-century sailing vessel, made famous in Hollywood adventure films, rolled over in 18-foot waves.
"There's a lot of factors that go into survivability. Right now we're going to continue to search. Right now we're hopeful," Coast Guard Capt. Joe Kelly told The Associated Press.

The Coast Guard rescued 14 crew members of the Bounty by helicopter Monday. Hours later, they found Claudene Christian, 42, unresponsive. She was taken to Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City, N.C., where she was pronounced dead, spokesman Patrick Detwiler said.
Christian claimed ancestry to the original Bounty mutineer Fletcher Christian, according to Reuters.
The rest of the crew was in good condition, officials said. Coast Guard video of the rescue showed crew members being loaded one by one into a basket before the basket was hoisted into the helicopter.
When they returned to the mainland, some were wrapped in blankets, still wearing the red survival suits they put on to stay warm in the chilly waters.
The survivors received medical attention and were to be interviewed for a Coast Guard investigation.
NBC News could not reach the ship's operators for comment. The Red Cross, which arranged hotel accommodations for the surviving crew members, said they had declined an interview request on Tuesday.

The Coast Guard identified them as: Daniel Cleveland, 25; John Svendsen, 41; Matthew Sanders, 37; Adam Prokosh, 27; Douglas Faunt, 66; John Jones, 29; Drew Salapatek, 29; Joshua Scornavacchi, 25; Anna Sprague, 20; Mark Warner, 33; Christopher Barksdale, 56; Laura Groves, 28; Jessica Hewitt, 25; and Jessica Black, 34. The Coast Guard did not make them available to reporters.
Svendsen's mother, Jo Svendsen of Nisswa, Minn., said she was waiting to hear back from her son, John Svendsen, who was among the rescued crew. He had been working on the Bounty for the last three years, she ssaid. Jo Svendsen said her son suffered a broken hand and ribs from the ordeal.
"We don't have any news today, but he said he would call us when he was off his medication and could make sense of everything," Jo Svendsen told NBC News on Tuesday.
Rough seas
The search through the night for the captain encompassed 1,300 square miles, aided by a Miami-based plane with night-vision capability. A decision on how much longer to search will come later Tuesday, Kelly said.
Sandy strengthens as it bears down on eastern US
When the Bounty set sail last week, Wallbridge believed he could navigate the ship around the storm. After two days in rough seas, he realized his journey would be far more difficult.
"I think we are going to be into this for several days," Robin Walbridge said in a message posted Sunday on the Bounty's Facebook page, which reads like a ship's log. "We are just going to keep trying to go fast."
By Monday morning, the vessel had started taking on water, its engines failed and the crew of the stately craft had to abandon ship as it went down in the hurricane-ravaged waves.
By the time the first rescue helicopter arrived, all that was visible of the ship was a strobe light atop the mighty vessel's submerged masts. The roiling Atlantic Ocean had claimed the rest.
The final hours of the HMS Bounty, as it was officially named, were as dramatic as the movies she starred in.
The ship was originally built for the 1962 film "Mutiny on the Bounty" starring Marlon Brando, and it was featured in several other films over the years, including one of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies.
The Coast Guard has rescued 14 people from the HMS Bounty, the 880-foot schooner sinking off the coast of North Carolina, but two crew members are still missing. TODAY's Al Roker reports.
'She loved the Bounty'
Rochelle Smith, 44, met Christian this summer when they sailed the HMS Bounty in Nova Scotia.
"She loved the Bounty. She absolutely loved it. She was so happy to be on it and doing something that she found that she loved to do," said Smith, a medical transcriptionist who lives in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
Christian had written on her Facebook page that she was a descendent of the original Bounty mutineer Fletcher Christian.
The original Bounty, a British transport 'square rigger', gained infamy for a mutiny in Tahiti in 1789. Marlon Brando starred as lead mutineer Fletcher Christian in the movie for which the ship was built.
Claudene Christian wrote on her Facebook page that she was descended from him and that she lived and worked aboard the ship and taught people about its history.
"As a descendent of Fletcher Christian, played in four movies by Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, Marlon Brando & Mel Gibson, I'm sure my ancestor would be proud," she wrote on her page.
Genealogist Janice Sellers, who writes the blog Ancestral Discoveries, said she knew Claudene Christian when they were students at the University of Southern California, and that Christian had said she was the fifth great-granddaughter of the sailor who led the mutiny against Captain William Bligh.
She said Christian's interest in her heritage had led her to join the replica ship's crew in May.
The vessel left Connecticut on Thursday with a crew of 11 men and five women, ranging in age from 20 to 66. Everyone aboard knew the journey could be treacherous.
"This will be a tough voyage for Bounty," read a posting on the ship's Facebook page that showed a map of its coordinates and satellite images of the storm. Photos showed the majestic vessel plying deep blue waters and the crew working in the rigging or keeping watch on the wood-planked deck.
As Sandy's massive size became more apparent, a post on Saturday tried to soothe any worried supporters: "Rest assured that the Bounty is safe and in very capable hands. Bounty's current voyage is a calculated decision ... NOT AT ALL ... irresponsible or with a lack of foresight as some have suggested. The fact of the matter is ... A SHIP IS SAFER AT SEA THAN IN PORT!"
But as the storm gathered strength, the Facebook posts grew grimmer. By mid-morning Monday, the last update was short and ominous: "Please bear with us ... There are so many conflicting stories going on now. We are waiting for some confirmation."
Tracie Simonin, director of the HMS Bounty Organization, said the ship tried to stay clear of Sandy. "It was something that we and the captain of the ship were aware of," Simonin said.
BreakingNews.com's coverage of Hurricane Sandy
Gary Farber was watching crewman Doug Faunt's house while his friend sailed. He hasn't heard from Faunt directly, but made sure he relayed Faunt's Facebook postings he made as the ship went down, including "The ship sank beneath us, but we swam free and mostly got into two rafts."
"Doug is a jack-of-all-trades, a super confident person who likes to get things done," Farber told NBC News on Tuesday. "Right now, he's trying to figure out how to get home."
The Bounty's captain was from St. Petersburg and learned to sail at age 10, according to his biography on the Bounty's website. Prior to the Bounty, he served as first mate on the H.M.S. Rose — the Bounty's sister ship.
"The ship was almost like his home," said Smith, who met Walbridge in 2010 when she sailed the Bounty. "That's where he spent most of his time was aboard the ship. He was so full of history and so interesting to talk to. And he knew his sailing stuff."
NBC News's Sevil Omer, the Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

What does a sexy surgeon do when she's out of work? Travel.
After spending six years playing Dr. Addison Montgomery on "Private Practice," Kate Walsh has decided to spend a little time on the road. Since the show wrapped in late January, she has been traveling everywhere from Belize to Anguilla to Washington, D.C.
"I just feel really compelled, particularly because I wrapped the series. Now I am like, 'I wanna travel everywhere I possibly can before I go back to work,'" the 45-year-old actress told omg! in an exclusive interview.
Read on to find out more about her recent adventures as well as what she secretly likes to do on airplanes. Hint: It has nothing to do with the mile-high club!
What's better: traveling when you were young or traveling now as an adult?
Travel is great at any age. I really thank my parents for that. When we were kids, we'd go up and down the California coast, camping on beaches. It instilled this wanderlust in me. When I was 10 years old I went with my grandparents and we drove across the country in their Maverick and we stayed at Motel 6s along the way. "Motel 6 is always clean," my grandmother would say. We went from San Jose to Seattle to the Space Needle and across the country from Yellowstone to Old Faithful to Niagara Falls.
What trips are you taking this year?
I think I am going to go to Vienna to participate in this festival put on by the Hollywood Foreign Press. From there I am either going to Venice or my makeup artist, Sergio Lopez Rivera, is from Spain and there is a festival there called the April Fair, which is a flamenco dancing festival in Seville.
Do you have any travel pet peeves?
No. Although, I think it is innately weird to sit next to strangers for long periods of time. I used to be one of those people who was like, "Don't ever talk to me on a plane." Lately though, I've sat next to some pretty interesting people, so that's actually worked out for me.
But you'd rather just relax on a flight.
I enjoy flights where I can just relax and not interact. I'll tell you something that always happens to me. On flights, I usually cry when I am up in the air. I am not kidding.
Are you afraid of flying?
I get hugely emotional. I don't know if it is the cabin pressure or if it's the one time that I slow down, look out the window, and contemplate life at 40,000 feet … inevitably there will be tears. I get very existential and always have a good cry on [long flights]. So if you see me on a plane crying, don't take it personally and I am really OK.
Do you plan most of your vacations yourself?
I am very hands on. I have an idea of where I want to go and then I'll talk to other people who've been there and a travel agent. As much as I enjoy a gorgeous, sumptuous, 5-star hotel, I love a boutique, family-run hotel. There is a special sort of feeling, ambience, and je ne sais quoi at a family-run place.
You like to get off the beaten path a bit then?
Yeah, I do.
What's one stamp in your passport you'd love to have?
I am pretty obsessed with going east to India and Thailand. Then I want to go to Patagonia and Cuba.
So would you say you're outdoorsy?
Well, because I work with Oceana, I am in the water snorkeling and swimming and I like to explore. I would say I am a little bit of an adventurer. So, yes!
What's one thing that is always in your suitcase?
There's a pair of Havianas with me everywhere I go. Also, I always travel with a pair of leopard pajamas. I would encourage others to do so, too. You just feel sassy. A little leopard goes a long way.
What are your travel beauty essentials?
If I must say, my mini eau du parfum of Boyfriend or the hand cream, because they are all plane-sized. You can take them with you wherever you go.
Walsh checks out the slopes of Heavenly in Lake Tahoe.
You take a lot of Instagram photos. Do you take a lot of pictures on trips?
I am so lame when it comes to taking pictures on trips. I have never been a picture taker and I rely on those around me to take pictures. My boyfriend is better than me.
What's the best way to travel: planes, trains or automobiles?
My favorite way to travel is by train because you're going a little slower than 500 mph in the air. You can look out the window, read, contemplate life, and have the experience of moving through time and space. I also like a good old-fashioned road trip. Just getting in the car and driving!
When you're travels are done, are you headed back to TV?
I have some stuff in the hopper… some shorter comedic stuff and then hopefully a new television show. It's going to be a big departure from what I have been doing and I am really looking forward to it.

Anne Walker spent 11 years with the YWCA of Fiji that marked the beginning of her long career with grassroots women. Walker is one of the founders of the International Women's Tribune Centre ( IWTC) and has participated as an activist and organiser in all four UN world conferences on women and NGO Forums in Mexico City (1975), Copenhagen (1980), Nairobi (1985) and Beijing (1995).
In this interview with World YWCA, Walker provides a history of the YWCA of Fiji and calls on the UN to take responsibility in bringing peace to the women of Fiji.
The Pacific YWCAs, especially Fiji, have always made peace a priority in their work. How do you think this current situation will affect the work of the YWCA of Fiji and other women's movements?
The early history of the YWCA of Fiji, certainly in terms of the work around current and public affairs in the 1960s, was very focused on the Fiji independence struggle and the fight against nuclear testing in Mururoa, French Polynesia. The YWCA took a leading role in both of these major events, joining forces with other community groups and, in the late 60s, with students from the newly established University of the South Pacific.

The Ins And Outs Of A Shutdown
The Ins And Outs Of A Shutdown
Are we headed for a government closure? Have there been any political winners in the spectacle over the past couple weeks? Weekend Edition Sunday host Rachel Martin talks with NPR's political correspondent Mara Liasson.
For more on the budget standoff, we're joined now by NPR's national political correspondent Mara Liasson. Good morning, Mara.
MARA LIASSON, BYLINE: Good morning, Rachel.
MARTIN: Sounds like this is happening, Mara. Are we on our way to a government shutdown?
LIASSON: I think we are on our way to a government shutdown. You just heard Tam say the Senate is going to reject this latest House version. It's going to come back to the House either late Sunday night or late Monday night. Probably not in enough time to avoid even a temporary shutdown. And the thing that's the most extraordinary about this whole spectacle is that the Republicans don't have their next step planned out. What are they going to do if they get it back? Are they going to pass a clean CR? I don't think that's possible. Speaker Boehner has decided that he has to throw his lot in with his Tea Party conservatives in the House or lose his speakership. And Democrats in the House don't seem to be in a mood to rescue him right now.
MARTIN: And the government shutdown isn't the only issue looming. There's the deadline to raise the debt ceiling - that comes up October 17th. Isn't that potential standoff actually a lot more significant?
LIASSON: It is a lot more significant. On Friday, the president said that the - breaching the debt ceiling would be an economic shutdown, not just a government shutdown. And all along, Speaker Boehner has wanted to fight on the debt ceiling, not a government shutdown. Government shutdown polls very badly. He thought that if he made the fight about the debt ceiling, he'd have more leverage with the president because it is so much more catastrophic. But his conservatives didn't want to go there yet. They want to play out the string on the government shutdown.
One theory that's floating around Washington right now is that having a little government shutdown might make a default on the debt, a breaching of the debt ceiling, less likely. And that could be the less-bad outcome. A government shutdown would be cathartic; conservatives would get what they want, and then maybe they could figure out a way to avoid a default, which would be much, much worse.
MARTIN: What about the president, Mara? At this point, he has refused to negotiate, especially on his health care law. Can he remain above the fray?
LIASSON: Well, let's be very, very specific about what the president has refused to negotiate on. He said he would absolutely not negotiate around the debt ceiling. He said Congress has already spent the money. It's their job to raise the debt ceiling so we can borrow the money to cover the bills that they've already incurred. He said he will certainly not negotiate about Obamacare in terms of defunding it or delaying it.
But he has said that he would negotiate over the budget. Remember, every time we've gotten up to this brink in the past, we've talked about the grand bargain, where the president would agree to cut entitlements and Republicans would agree to raise some kind of tax revenue. Those talks have always fallen apart, but the president said he's still ready to cut entitlements if Republicans are ready to raise revenues, which they say they are not. There is a possibility that Democrats might negotiate in the end over this medical device tax. Right now, Harry Reid says no, we're not going to include it in the CR, but in the past, 33 Democrats in the Senate have voted to get rid of this tax, which is part of Obamacare.
So, that's the one tiny little piece of the healthcare law that maybe the president would be willing to negotiate on. But right now I think we're going to have to see what happens with the shutdown. Do Republicans take the blame, as polls suggest they will? And then deal with the potential default, which we know will hurt everyone politically, because that's what happened last time when we almost defaulted.
MARTIN: Hurt everyone politically. Is there anyone in this situation that benefits from what's happening right now?
LIASSON: Yes, actually. It's hard to believe, but I think Ted Cruz, who's been the leader of the stop-Obamacare-at-any-cost caucus, the guy who stood on the floor for 21 hours in the Senate, he has actually come out of this a political winner. Not with the media, not with his Republican establishment colleagues who consider him an annoying grandstander, but certainly with the Tea Party base of the Republican Party, the people who make up the Republican presidential primary electorate - his stock has soared. And you can see that Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, who are the other two senators who are considering running for president in 2016, they have been standing with Cruz all along.
MARTIN: NPR's national political correspondent Mara Liasson breaking it down for us. Thanks so much, Mara.
LIASSON: Thank you.

Few people know that when their health insurer refuses to pay for something, you can appeal that decision.
Fewer still know how to do it.
To help, we've prepared a guide to appeals, including sample templates and example letters you can send.
It can be a complex process, mainly because the appeal rules are different depending on what kind of plan you have. But the guide helps you figure that out. We offer tips, things to avoid, and pointers for writing a good appeal letter.
Key things to remember: Your health plan CANNOT drop your coverage or raise your rates because you ask them to reconsider a denial. You CAN appeal. It's your right.
And you can win. Even if your insurer turns you down, you can appeal to an independent third-party, which has the power to reverse a denial. Over the past three years, nearly a quarter of consumers who took their appeals to an independent review organization were successful.
Check it out.

MacDermid, Inc. v. Deiter, No. 11-5388 (2d Cir. December 26, 2012)
The Second Circuit reversed a District Court that held it could not exercise personal jurisdiction over a Canadian defendant accused of accessing email servers located in Connecticut.
Defendant lived and worked in Canada for a U.S.-based company having its principal place of business in Connecticut. She knew her company's email servers were located in Connecticut.
When she learned that she was about to be terminated from her position, she forwarded confidential company data from her work email account to her personal account.
The former employer sued in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. That court dismissed the case, holding that the relevant Connecticut state statute (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-59b(a)) did not authorize the exercise of personal jurisdiction. The lower court found that although the statute authorized personal jurisdiction over one who "uses a computer" in the state, defendant's alleged computer use took place exclusively in Canada.
Plaintiff-employer sought review with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. On appeal, the court reversed, holding that the state statute authorized the exercise of personal jurisdiction, and that such exercise comported with due process.
The court found it was "not material" that defendant was outside Connecticut when she accessed her employer's servers. It held that the statute required only that the computer or network, not the user, be located in the state.
On the due process issue, the court found that defendant had minimum contacts with Connecticut, as she knew the servers were located there. The court also found that she purposefully directed her alleged tortious activity there. After balancing other relevant factors (e.g., location of witnesses, burden on the defendant, Connecticut's interests in seeing its laws enforced), the court found the exercise of personal jurisdiction to be reasonable.

Lots of people play Madden, but not many people tell you what it's like to be completely new at it. I've been doing it for five weeks, and I'm still pretty bad. If you're new, get caught up here. All set? Great. Roll film!
So far, the coolest thing about being a guy who's not very into sports and giving Madden a go is the countless people who are into sports and Madden and are really eager to talk about it with me. Some do it because they welcome the kind of perspective I bring—I won't go so far as to say that liking sports is a genetic predisposition, but it's an easy leap to make. Others find it amusing. I have a little brother that falls into this camp, and he always wants me to play when he's around because he finds it funny as hell. And then there are people like Sylverfyst that are just plain helpful, quietly following along and dropping tips where appropriate.
It's been a fun experience so far, like joining a super cool club but without the hazing. I appreciate everyone who's willing to talk about it and answer my dumb questions—it makes exploring this incredibly complex and fascinating world that much more fun. I have a friend who's just getting into comic books (something I know a bit about) and I found myself wondering what his experience was like. Thanks to this little experiment, I kind of know now—and it's pretty pleasant.
Even when I'm throwing tantrums about losing games like I did last week. Losing for reasons both legitimate and cheap are just as part of the Madden/Football experience as they are the Dark Souls experience, and they're both equally rewarding.
Like this week.
I began like I did last week, taking some time to practice and get a better feel for running plays and controlling things. I guess what's been bugging me about the controls all along is how imprecise it all feels. There's the slightest delay to everything you do, as if the game's priority is to make every player look the way they're supposed to as opposed to making it feel like you are the reason they look the way they do. Does that make sense? It's not terrible, but it's the biggest adjustment coming from most mainstream games in other genres where twitchy controls and hair trigger responses are par for the course. Madden feels less like Diablo and more like Dragon Age, so to speak.
I'm discovering that my biggest problem is that I play with some serious tunnel vision. Like Sylverfyst said, reading the other team's defensive formation is critical, and I'm still learning what all that means. Also, when I'm playing defense, I focus almost exclusively on the player I'm controlling and don't pay much attention to what's going on elsewhere. The particulars of the team AI aren't very clear, and I don't know the sort of things that are accounted for and that I need to keep an eye out on. This problem in particular is extra troublesome, since from what I understand, it's all part of the array of changes that are made from year to year with each game's release. I also have Madden 08 hiding among my things somewhere. Maybe I'll pull it out and see how much of a different animal it can be.
Also, this week is the Trade Deadline. I really don't know enough about training to take advantage of it, so I ignore it. I imagine that this sort of thing can be detrimental to my performance in the long run—I'm not tweaking my roster at all. I feel like I should. Even if I can't trade, should I be messing with my lineup? Warming guys up? I don't know.
On to this week's game, for which I've arranged with my friends over at YouTube a totally convenient way for you to listen to this sweet RJD2 track that really sets the mood for how it went down.
I was up against the Indianapolis Colts (they had a 2-3 record) for this one, and I was kind of embarrassed by how quickly they were able to work all the way across the field
I get my act together when they make 1st and Goal, and force them to kick for the field goal to take the lead 3-0. It wasn't the greatest start, but it could be worse. Last week's disaster was very fresh in my mind.
My first possession doesn't go much better. My running back fumbles, the Colts take the ball, and I get a foul called on my team. I then notice I have the option to challenge it—and hell yes I'd like to challenge that, Ref. I don't understand what you called or why you called it or what actually happened, if I can get you to change your mind maybe something good will happen.
And it did! The play was to be done over, I had the ball back, and blew all four downs. That penalty kerfuffle would've been for nothing…except I caught an interception and scored.
The rest of the game was a disaster for the Colts. They throw four interceptions, two of which result in touchdowns for me. They fumble, only to have one of my defensive players scoop it up and score in one fell swoop—something that the commentators say is Very Hard, I'll have you know. At this point, the game is like Tetris when everything is neatly stacked and then you have that straight line piece you were waiting for slide in and clear everything out. It was very satisfying.
They Colts do score once more before the game is over. I don't care very much, since I had them sussed at that point, but I suppose I should have cared more—I know from last week that points that I allow to be scored against me are part of what determines my standing in the league.
But just like that, I've got my mojo back. What bites is that next week is my BYE week—a friend of mine explained this to me as my team's week off. It's a quirk of the NFL's scheduling. So I won't have an actual game to play next week. I'll try and compensate with something interesting outside of my usual Franchise hijinks. There's still plenty of Madden to explore.

After a little over one month, my horse is better than ever! He now trailers better too, and is safe again. We showed this past weekend with many horses from previous barns and he didn't mind at all; we took grand or reserve in every division he entered. He isn't tired or lazy, just relaxed again. This supplement allowed us to keep showing the horse we know and love! Thank you SmartPak!" – Catvh1215
#3 Keratex Hoof Gel
What We Say: Keratex Hoof Gel keeps hoof horn water tight in wet weather and stops cracking in dry weather. Not a damaging oil, but a powerful hydrophobic treatment that leaves the hoof glistening dry. While Keratex Hoof Hardener repairs damage to the hoof horn's molecular structure caused by water and ammonia, Keratex Hoof Gel quite simply stops the damage from happening in the first place. Keratex Hoof Gel protects hooves from damage caused by manure, urine and excess water absorption. Keratex Hoof Gel allows the hoof to breathe. Air can pass freely through Keratex Hoof Gel in either direction and excess moisture can be expelled from the hoof. No water or typical chemicals can enter the hoof from the outside.
What Western Riders Say: "I've only used this product a few times but have already seen great results. My mare's soles used to be quite soft and her frogs too squishy. Now her soles are nice and tough and her frogs are just right (pliable but not too soft). I've also noticed her hooves are easier to pick out. I am very pleased with this product and plan to keep using it forever!" – DavinaDiva
#4 SmartSlim Ultra Capri
What We Say: The SmartSlim Ultra Capri is the next generation in SmartSlims. It provides a high spandex level, offering performance-enhancing compression and four-way stretch for a perfect fit with total freedom of movement. Lightweight yet durable perforated mesh-style fabric is quick-drying and highly breathable. Antimicrobial (gusset liner) flat-seam construction for all day comfort.
What Western Riders Say: "I have tried many different brands of "slimmers" for under my riding breeches ! Each one has it's faults such as too hot, too flimsy, poor fit,seams rubbing. This product has none of the above qualities and fits great. Am saving for a second pair." – SHEZAVIXEN
#5 SWAT Clear
What We Say: SWAT Clear formula protects wounds, open sores, scratches and abrasions from dirt and disease-carrying flies. Botanically derived pyrethrin formula repels house flies, stable flies, face flies and horn flies, killing them on contact. SWAT Clear is ideal for use on the ears and other facial areas.
What Western Riders Say: "If you want to keep the bugs away from your horse's cuts and scrapes, you'll want to use SWAT Clear. Easy to apply, no odor, and the bugs stay away from where you put it. It even kept on working after a rain storm! I'm impressed and will always keep a jar handy in my tack box from now on. You should too!!" – CowGirlWannaBe
#6 LiveSmart™ Salmon Meal and Brown Rice Adult Dog Formula
What We Say: Salmon meal is a nutritious alternative source of protein that contains high levels of important fatty acids, making it a natural choice for helping maintain skin and coat health. We combined North American ocean farmed salmon meal with quality grains and vegetables to create a formula designed to help your adult dog thrive. Made in the USA.
What Western Riders Say: "My dog, Pete, really approves of his new dog food. It takes less food to satisfy him and keep him in good health than what he was getting before. I love all the good nutrition that he's getting and he loves the taste." – Dukesmom
#7 SmartPak Small Hole Hay Net
What We Say: There's a smarter way to feed your hay! 3 1/2 cm holes restrict access so your horse will slow down and enjoy his hay longer, and you'll have a whole lot less waste. Ideal for travel, as you'll have to fill up less frequently, and your horse won't leave as much behind. Also great for horses who need limited access for dietary reasons. 42″ Diameter.
What Western Riders Say: "Loading the hay is easy. The reason I bought it was to make the hay last longer and slow down eating. It has worked out well and was a great purchase." – AussieLover
#8 SureScoop
What We Say: It's important that your horse is fed correctly- by weight (pounds) not by volume (quarts). You can be confident that by using the Surescoop, you will be feeding your horse properly using pounds, not quarts, to measure grain. The Surescoop was designed to measure (by weight, not volume) sweet/textured and pelleted horse feeds. The Surescoop was not designed to measure beet pulp, rice bran, corn, oats and other horse feeds.
What Western Riders Say: "While my horse is not on a very strict diet, it is always nice to know exactly how much feed they are getting. It is also very helpful if someone else is feeding my horse, or if I am feeding someone else's. It's a very durable, easy to wash, and compact scoop. I'm so glad I found one!" – EquineDeborah22410
#9 SmartLytes® Paste
What We Say: Support your horse's health by giving him an electrolyte that works as hard as he does! SmartLytes Paste is a sugar-free, cherry flavored formula designed to replace mineral losses in equine sweat and encourage your horse to drink. SmartLytes Paste may be administered in addition to a daily serving of SmartLytes powder. This convenient paste is excellent when you and your horse are on the go – whether at a clinic, a show or a trail ride – just make sure your horse has plenty of fresh water available. Two servings per syringe.
What Western Riders Say: "My horse likes the taste and she drinks a ton of water after she gets this paste, and I don't even give her a full dose. It is a little runny if it is hot out, but not a big deal. The price was great, too."
– Haley1234
#10 Loofa Groom Mitt
What We Say: We love the Loofa Groom Mitt for bathing! It suds up and doesn't slid off your hand! Perfect for legs and for tough stains.
What Western Riders Say: "I love these mitts, I have multiple and I was excited when SmartPak started to carry them. They are a must have for bathing!" – HobbyHorseRiding

| Schistura colossa Kottelat, 2017
Schistura colossa, new species, is described from the Xe Pian, Xe Set and Houay Champi on Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos. It is distinguished by its large size (up to at least 98 mm SL); the body has 16–21 bars, quite regularly shaped in juveniles and with increasing size becoming more irregular; in the largest individuals the bars on the caudal peduncle are broken up in irregular blotches. Schistura klydonion, new species, is described from the Xe Namnoy, also on Bolaven Plateau. It is distinguished by its relatively large size (up to at least 76 mm SL); the body has a midlateral row of 12–21 bars that do not reach the dorsal midline and that alternate with a middorsal row of saddles or small blotches, leaving a pale zigzag line between the two rows; the lips have a few sparsely-set pointed papillae. The topography of the plateau and the distribution of the endemic species suggest an earlier connection of the Houay Makchang Gnai and the Xe Katam with the Xe Pian instead of the Xe Namnoy. Both species are endemic to the Bolaven Plateau, have a limited distribution and are impacted by hydropower and agricultural activities.
Key words. Cobitoidei, Schistura, Mekong basin, stone loach
|Fig. 2. Schistura colossa, MHNG 2767.084, holotype, 98.0 mm SL; Laos: Xe Pian River on Bolaven Plateau.
Schistura colossa, new species
Distribution. Schistura colossa has been collected on Bolaven Plateau in the Xe Pian drainage, a tributary of the Xe Kong, in southern Laos (Fig. 9). A single specimen caught in the Champi and one caught in the Xe Set, both on Bolaven Plateau, cannot be distinguished from the samples from the Xe Pian.
Etymology. The Latin adjective colossus (-a, -um) means giant. Allusion to the size of the species, a giant among Southeast Asian nemacheilids.
|Fig. 13. Schistura klydonion, MHNG 2767.085, 75.8 mm SL, holotype; Laos: Xe Namnoy on Bolaven Plateau (right side, reversed).
Schistura klydonion, new species
Distribution. Schistura klydonion has been observed only in the Xe Namnoy on the Bolaven Plateau, southern Laos.
Etymology. From the classical Greek κλυδώνιον (klydonion) meaning small wave, ripple, undulation; allusion to the wavy stripe running along the flank between the row of saddles and the row of bars. A noun in apposition.

EU envoy: US-EU trade pact will be 'game changer'
WASHINGTON — European Union officials on Thursday touted the huge economic potential of a proposed free-trade pact with the United States even as they poked fun at its cumbersome name, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.
"We've launched this strange animal called TTIP ['tee tip']," EU Ambassador to the United States JoIao Vale de Almeida said at a reception to mark Europe Day. "This is a game-changer. As I like to say, this is the mother of all free trade areas."
The two sides are expected to begin talks on the pact in July and hope to finish in one to two years. If successful, the final agreement would cover half the world's economic output and about a third of global trade.
The proposed pact "sends a strong signal... that despite our economic challenges [in the EU and United States], we are all open for business and trade," EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton told the group.
"I was recently in China. [They] were very, very interested in what this meant, not just for us, but also for them," she said, in an apparent reference to Chinese concerns the agreement could adversely affect their exports.
The United States already is negotiating another free trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 11 countries in the Asia Pacific region, so there is symmetry in the moniker for the proposed U.S.-EU pact.
But Ashton still said it was "bizarrely named... I call it a free trade agreement. I can't get my head around TTIP."
Whatever it is called, negotiations are expected to be tough, with EU lawmakers already backing French demands to exempt cultural and audiovisual services, which would be a big disappointment for U.S. film and television companies.
Members of the U.S. Congress also want the pact to tackle longtime barriers to U.S. farm products, potentially requiring many European countries to overcome their aversion to importing U.S. genetically modified crops.
It will be "a long difficult process of negotiations. We have of course the best negotiators on the European side. But we respect a lot the American negotiators," Vale de Almeida said to laughter from the crowd.
Last week, President Barack Obama nominated Mike Froman to be the next U.S. Trade Representative, effectively charging his longtime friend and chief international economic affairs adviser with the task of completing the U.S.-EU deal.

WASHINGTON - Michelle Obama showed off her new bangs and a royal blue dress and cardigan by American designer Reed Krakoff at Sunday's swearing-in ceremony.
The first lady and daughter Malia matched President Barack Obama's blue suit, also complementing the Blue Room of the White House, where the small ceremony took place. Younger daughter Sasha, however, went her own way: She wore a lacy pink dress with a gold, wide-width, high-waisted belt — a style her mother helped popularize — and gold shoes.
It's not the first time Mrs. Obama chose a design by Krakoff. She previously has worn a gown and jacket by the designer, who also is the president and executive creative director of Coach, Inc. She has carried one of his tote bags, too.
Her hairdo, however, is a change — and it has been the subject of online chatter since its debut on Thursday in a photo taken at the White House.

mind your manners, for your brand's sake; and your business's
September 12, 2012
Have you noticed how no one answers their phone any more? And how everyone hides behind voice mail. Everyone but me, that is. I always get the same reaction from people when I answer my phone: Shock. "Oh", they say. And then they stumble around for words. Because they assumed they'd be leaving a message, not talking to a human.
Same with email. Unless you're writing a friend or family member, a colleague or close business associate, you can consider yourself lucky if you ever get a response. Ditto with snail mail. It drives me insane. And then, what I hate the most, are the lies and excuses that inevitably follow: "Oh, really, I didn't get an email from you. Oh, are you sure you called the right number? Oh, I am so sorry, I have just been crazy busy, I was planning to get back to you." And then you see them posting drivel on Facebook or tweeting.
It even happens with blogs. I follow a lot of blogs. I very often comment on posts I like, or that resonate with me. At most, I get a reply 10 – 15% of the time. It's interesting, though. Everything you read about blogs, and how to increase your readership, tells you to "like", "follow" and comment on other blogs. All the experts say this is the best way to get more exposure for your blog (and yourself) and grow your audience. But none of them add that you should also do it because it's common courtesy; that if someone has taken time out of their busy day to read your blog, and then takes the time to leave a comment, it is rude of you to ignore it. Why?
I think it's because we're smack in the middle of an epidemic of bad manners. And we're completely self-absorbed. It's all about 'us'. To hell with you.
Several years ago I had a new business idea. I had an individual in mind I wanted to target. After sending him two letters, his assistant contacted me, presumably at his request, to ask me to elaborate on a couple of points. Which I did. Never heard back. I'm in no way suggesting he was under any obligation to have the slightest interest in what I was pitching. But if he asked me for additional information I believe I was entitled to a response. Even if it was a form letter, or a two-sentence reply written, and signed, by his assistant. Whereas I once thought of him as confident, inspiring, responsible, respectful and open I now think of him as arrogant, rude and dismissive.
In my eyes his brand is tarnished. And while he may not think of it this way, his personal brand and his corporate brand are entwined. So he should care what I think about him. Because it will influence my decision about ever becoming a client. And while I may not be in a position to become his client today, we never know what tomorrow will bring.
A long time ago, when I was in my second to last year of art college, I decided to look for a summer job. I would even have taken an internship position. I just wanted some real life experience. The man I interviewed with at the first art studio I visited was very pleasant. He took time to go through my portfolio; and also talked to me about what my longer term goals were. Although they didn't hire summer students he did suggest that, once I'd graduated, I should try again.
Which I did. He was one of the first prospects I called and we arranged a date and time to meet. When I arrived for my appointment, the receptionist asked me to wait, as he was in a meeting. I waited 15 minutes. 30 minutes. 40 minutes. At which point I asked the receptionist to see how much longer he'd be. She made a couple of calls and then told me that he'd be unable to see me, after all. He'd been called away.
Funny, I was right there in reception. Unless he'd climbed out of the window in his office, I would have to have seen him leave. That is, if he'd ever even been in the office, in the first place.
I was disappointed, but what could I do. I had another appointment, not all that far away, so off I went. I had about a half hour to spare, so I decided to have a cup of coffee in a coffee shop that was located at the back of a pharmacy, in the building where I had my meeting. Lo and behold, the a-hole who had just kept me waiting for almost an hour was sitting at the table, right next to mine, laughing it up with a friend. Where he'd no doubt been all along. He didn't recognize me. But I recognized him.
Fast forward about five years. When he called, asking for an appointment, I remembered his name. This time I was buying. And he was selling. No, I didn't stand him up. I was there, waiting for him. I let him go through his entire spiel. Then I asked if he remembered me. He didn't. I filled him in. And then I let him leave, empty-handed. Not totally out of spite. No. I declined to do business with him for this reason:
Once upon a time I hadn't been important enough for him. I was small potatoes, easily dismissed and forgotten. Would a small or medium-sized project of mine get the same treatment? Would he only put his best team on the job if it came with a big budget? Would only large, high-profile jobs get his full attention? "Probably", was my guess. And just before I let him go I told him exactly why I was taking a pass. He had himself to thank. All he'd had to do was man up and cancel the appointment ahead of time. How difficult is that?
You never know when the tables might turn. If he'd been familiar with one of my favourite quotes, perhaps the entire scenario could have been avoided: "Be nice to people on your way up, because you meet them again on your way down."
So what's the moral of the story? Be respectful. Be polite. Answer your damn phone when you're sitting right beside it, and it rings. Put time aside, every day, to respond to your emails and voice mails; and make this behaviour part of your corporate culture, so your employees follow your good example, instead of your bad one. Delegate the writing of your 'thanks-but-no-thanks' letters to your assistant or a more junior colleague; and make it a personal priority to at least let people know that their letters have gotten to you; and you appreciate the fact that they've written you.
People can think the best of you. Or the worst. It's up to you. Just remember that 'you' are a brand. And your brand is also a reflection of your company's brand.

Priced: 2014 Audi R8 Starts at $119,150
The Audi R8 returns for the 2014 model year refreshed, and with pricing that starts at $119,150. The car goes on sale today, along with the $174,795 Audi R8 V10 Plus. All R8 prices include a $1250 destination fee and $3000 gas guzzler tax.
The big news for the 2014 Audi R8 is the addition of the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, available with both engines. Audi says the 2014 R8 V10 Plus can accelerate from 0-62 mph 0.3 seconds quicker thanks to the new transmission. The 2014 Audi R8's 4.2-liter V-8 is good for 430 hp and 316 lb-ft of torque while the 5.2-liter V-10 produces 525 hp and 391 lb-ft. Go for the R8 V10 Plus and you'll get 550 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque.
2014 Audi R8 Pricing
The seven-speed transmission is a $9100 option on every 2014 Audi R8 coupe and Spyder, the latter of which carries a $13,500 premium over the coupe. The least expensive R8 is a manual-transmission R8 V8 at $119,150. The 2014 R8 V8 Spyder goes for $132,650. When 430 hp just isn't enough, there's always the Audi R8 V10, which for the 2014 model year goes for $155,450 and $168,950 for the R8 V10 Spyder.
Then there's the new R8 V10 Plus, which is about 130 pounds less than the R8 V10 thanks to ceramic brakes, carbon fiber accents, a smaller fuel tank, reduced sound insulation, and manual Alcantara seats. The 2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus costs $174,795 with the manual and $183,895 with the seven-speed transmission. There is no R8 V10 Spyder Plus model.
2014 Audi R8 0-60 MPH Times
Opting for the standard six-speed gated manual transmission will slow claimed 0-60 mph times by 0.2 seconds on the R8 V8 and by 0.4 seconds on the R8 V10. Add 0.2 seconds with either engine for the Spyder drop-top; the R8 V10 Plus coupe's 0-60 mph times are 3.7 seconds with the manual and 3.3 seconds with the seven-speed transmission.
