What is Lorain’s unique identity?

When it comes to desiging worth-a-month's-rent, outfit-making shoes, few designers are as consistent as Brian Atwood. A favorite of nearly every A-list singer, actress, and model including Eva Longoria, Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Garner, Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Jennifer Lopez, Atwood's shoes consistently grace red carpets and glossie magazines. Even more impressive, he recently launched a diffusion line, B Brian Atwood, that's more affordable, but equally as covetable. (Just take a look at these! And these! And check-out a video for his 2011 Resort collection here.) We spoke to Atwood about designing his two lines, if there's such a thing as too high, what shoes he wears day-to-day, and more.

A wee bit of kerfuffle in the HIV blogosphere in the past few days, sparked by a rather arcane presentation at the International Workshop on HIV & Hepatitis Virus Drug Resistance and Curative Strategies.
Steven Yukl, MD, of the University of California San Francisco, spoke (in the last presentation of the meeting) on "Challenges inherent in detecting HIV persistence during potentially curative interventions." That sounds a bit bland, I agree, especially since it has sparked a debate about whether the only HIV "cure" so far reported is actually real.
Yukl was reporting on a series of investigations by several labs, undertaken with the cooperation of the so-called Berlin Patient. You'll recall that Timothy Brown was HIV-positive when he developed leukemia while living in Berlin. His doctors there decided to give him a bone marrow transplant, but with a twist -- they selected a donor whose CD4-positive T cells did not have a key entry point used by HIV.
Technically, the donor was homozygous for the delta- | 32 mutation in the gene for the CCR5 receptor.
To make the story short, Brown was eventually cured of leukemia by the treatment. And -- the central point -- his new immune system bars the door to HIV.
Put another way, he no longer takes antiretroviral drugs and has no clinical signs of HIV infection.
But is he "cured?"
That depends on what you mean by "cure | [

COOPERTOWN, Tenn. (AP) — A police chief hired to rebuild a tiny Tennessee department dismantled by scandal is using a lie-detector test to keep racists off his force.
Coopertown Police Chief Shane Sullivan took over the department in November, becoming the 11th chief in as many years. He was hired on the heels of a series of police scandals that for a few months left Coopertown with no police at all. Years before that, a mayor was voted out of office after the local prosecutor accused him of racism and running a notorious speed trap.
Law enforcement experts say Sullivan's polygraph approach is unusual, though some departments use the devices for other purposes during the application process. Others try to root out bias in other ways. One polygraph expert warned that lie detectors can't accurately predict racism for reasons that include people's inability to recognize their own | racism.
Sullivan said he doubts racists will even apply for the force if they know about the tests.
"I think the polygraph will definitely keep these people from applying," the 39-year-old chief said.
And he believes the policy is working, because he says it's already discouraged some applicants. "I've told a couple of ones about the polygraph who have not called me back."

Radiation sickness are the side effects that accompany radiation. It can occur after treatment for cancer or after effects of accidental exposure to radiation.
Causes of Radiation Sickness
Radiation may damage all cells. In particular, those which replicate frequently, such as the skin, the gastrointestinal tract and the bone marrow are at increased risk. Damage to the immune system can occur and long term damage to the genetic structure of some cells can lead to the eventual development of some forms of cancer.
Signs and Symptoms of Radiation Sickness
The symptoms of radiation sickness depend of the areas exposed, the amount of radiation and the type of radiation. Many of the symptoms are temporary, if the exposure has not been life threatening. Frequently, there is nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and fatigue. Shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, and bleeding and easy bruising can all be signs that the bone marrow has been affected. This is the area where the cells which form the red cells, the white cells and the platelets are produced. Damage can lead to anemia, problems fighting off infections and poor clotting. Among | the other symptoms that can occur include yeast infection in the mouth, dry mouth, loss of taste, swallowing difficulty, worsening of tooth or gum disease, hair loss, dry cough, heart inflammation with chest pain, burning, inflammation or scarring of skin, permanent skin darkening, bleeding spots anywhere under the skin, and sexual impotence.

Wilson: In a stunner, Raiders dominate Holy Cross

Problems of beginning teachers at the secondary level

Beginning teachers, Mentoring
Elementary and Middle and Secondary Education Administration | Secondary Education and Teaching
Novice teachers face many challenges and often have many problems. Teaching is a profession where 30% to 50% leave teaching during the first five years (Moir & Gless, 2001). So, the early years of a teacher's experience can affect directly whether the teacher continues in teaching or seeks another career. The study of teacher problems has a long history. Common problems of beginning teachers has been the subject of numerous studies (e.g., Gratch, 1998; Hertzog, 2002; Veenman, | 1984).
This study used survey methodology to answer the question: What are the types of problems experienced by novice teachers? Data are presented on how teachers rate their problems in terms of how bothersome they find them and how frequently they occur, and on which novice teachers have each type of problem. This study provides information about how novice teachers perceive problems and identifies how they address these problems.

Review Summary: The metal goes pop! But there's no soul inside to back it up.
There's a YouTube series run by EgoRaptor (of "The Awesome Series" fame) and JonTron where the two play games and review them as they go. Recently they've chronicled their ventures in The New Super Mario Brothers Wii and their blatantly negative opinion of the game, to the point where they've had to address and defend their opinion multiple times. The two agree that the game is, as they say, "soulless, but fun" - a mindless romp through a platformer we've played a million times before with little innovation to show for it; an experience that placates the most specific fans' pleas for "more" with a direct carbon copy. But such a copy doesn't have a commanding, emotion-packed presence. It's there to fill the void, alright, but it does so without really providing anything new
and without really professing any sort of passion in its delivery.

But he's also quite knowledgeable about health as revealed in this candid conversation recorded by Dr. Venkata Kanubaddi in February, 1999. Here Baba challenges two devotee doctors to rethink the common medical | concepts about diabetes, heart disease and chronic fatigue syndrome.

NOAA scientists agree the risks are high, but say Hansen overstates what science can really say for sure
Jim Hansen at the University of Colorado’s World Affairs Conference (Photo: Tom Yulsman)
Speaking to a packed auditorium at the University of Colorado’s World Affairs Conference on Thursday, NASA climatologist James Hansen found a friendly audience for his argument that we face a planetary emergency thanks to global warming.
Despite the fact that the temperature rise has so far been relatively modest, “we do have a crisis,” he said.
With his characteristic under-stated manner, Hansen made a compelling case. But after speaking with two NOAA scientists today, I think Hansen put himself in a familiar position: out on a scientific limb. And after sifting through my many pages of notes from two days of immersion in climate issues, I’m as convinced as ever that journalists must be exceedingly careful not to overstate what we know | for sure and what is still up for scientific debate.
Crawling out on the limb, Hansen argued that global warming has already caused the levels of water in Lake Powell and Lake Mead — the two giant reservoirs on the Colorado River than insure water supplies for tens of millions of Westerners — to fall to 50 percent of capacity. The reservoirs “probably will not be full again unless we decrease CO2 in the atmosphere,” he asserted.

Milray easily possessed himself of the history of her life and of all its circumstances, and he said he would like to meet her father and make the acquaintance of a man whose mind, as Clementina interpreted it to him, he found so original.
He authorized his wife to arrange with Mrs. Atwell for a monopoly of Clementina’s time while he stayed at Middlemount, and neither he nor Mrs. Milray seemed surprised at the good round sum, as the landlady thought it, which she asked in the girl’s behalf.
The Milrays stayed through August, and Mrs. Milray was the ruling spirit of the great holiday of the summer, at Middlemount. It was this year that the landlords of the central mountain region had decided to compete in a coaching parade, and to rival by their common glory the splendor of the East Side and the West Side parades | . The boarding-houses were to take part, as well as the hotels; the farms where only three or four summer folks were received, were to send their mountain-wagons, and all were to be decorated with bunting. An arch draped with flags and covered with flowers spanned the entrance to the main street at Middlemount Centre, and every shop in the village was adorned for the event.

…to pursue the American Dream is not only futile but self-destructive because ultimately it destroys everything and everyone involved with it. By definition it must, because it nurtures everything except those things that are important: integrity, ethics, truth, our very heart and soul. Why?

LOS ANGELES — Being locked in a cell was a “traumatic experience” and something she never expected after driving with a suspended license, a subdued Paris Hilton told CNN’s Larry King on Wednesday.
Letters from fans and supporters from around the world, including U.S. soldiers in Iraq and people as far away as India, helped her get through the 23 days in lockup, Hilton told King in her first broadcast interview since leaving jail Tuesday.
All of the letters were positive, she said, adding that reading | them in her cell sometimes reduced her to tears.
“I’ve been through a lot,” said Hilton, her blond hair cascading across her forehead. “And it was a pretty traumatic experience, something that I really have grown from.”

The debate over Nova Scotia’s role in the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric development in Labrador took an odd twist Thursday as Premier Darrell Dexter struggled to explain why an ongoing study of the project has been kept secret for the past three months.
Dexter has said the province will spend about $85,000 on an untendered contract to have John Dalton, president of Power Advisory in Carlisle, Mass., determine whether getting electricity from Muskrat Falls would be cheaper than getting it from wind turbines, natural gas plants or hydro dams in Quebec.
He said work started on the assessment in September.
The opposition has been calling for an independent review for months, but the premier did not say anything about Dalton’s work until Wednesday.
When asked why he kept the study under wraps, Dexter initially indicated he did not want the media pestering Dalton’s company.
On Thursday, Dexter changed gears, saying outside the legislature that the only thing that mattered was that the work was being done.
“People want to be assured that this is going to lead to the lowest and fairest rates,” he said.
The government often announces when it is launching a study, but when pressed for a more specific answer on keeping this one secret, Dexter said | :
“Usually, when we talk about (studies), it is when we have something that is of a nature that is mature enough to be able to talk about it. It takes time to develop that.
“They have to do the work, they have to do the research, they have to do the analysis. It’s not a riddle. I’m not trying to be anything but forthright.”
Dexter said he hasn’t seen the results from the study.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson has given another "substantial" contribution to an independent group supporting Republican Newt Gingrich, helping the group launch new TV ads in seven states where the former House speaker hopes to resurrect his struggling presidential campaign.

The person was not | authorized to discuss the donations publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The committee will air TV ads beginning Tuesday in Georgia, Ohio, Oklahoma and Tennessee, four "Super Tuesday" states voting March 6 where Gingrich hopes to rejuvenate his campaign.

Exclusive: Medical Experts Explain How to Treat Spinal Defect Before a Child Is Even Born
Editor’s Note: This is the second in a five part series where The Blaze has looked into a newer treatment for children diagnosed with spina bifida.

Perhaps one of the most astute comments to come out of the debate over the eventually tabled Nelson-Hatch amendment was the issue that if women’s reproductive health was being prohibited, surely male reproductive enhancements like Viagra and Cialis should be, as well.
“Imagine if the men in this chamber had to fill out a form and get a rider for Viagra or Cialis and it was public.” Sen. Barbara Boxer said during debate on the Nelson-Hatch amendment. “Forget about it. There would be a rage in this chamber.”
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) also used the comparison, saying that he wanted his daughters and granddaughters to have access to all “reproductive health care.”
“What if we were to vote on a Viagra amendment and it had the same limits would apply for abortion?” Laut | enberg said during Tuesday’s debate, adding that the reaction would be “outrage.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday turned aside U.S. calls for an investigation into the release of the Lockerbie bomber by Scotland and said there was no indication that oil giant BP had swayed the controversial decision.
Both Cameron and President Barack Obama, who met with him at the White House, condemned the release of Libyan bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi from a Scottish prison.
Still, Cameron said the release was not the doing of the British government nor, apparently, the result of any lobbying by BP, Britain's largest company, to win oil concessions from Libya. Rather it was a decision by the government of Scotland on compassionate grounds, he said.
"It was the biggest mass murder in British history, and there was no business letting him out of prison," Cameron said.
Said Obama: "I think all of us here in the United States were surprised, disappointed and angry."
Cameron said at a joint White House news conference with Obama that any role that BP may have played in the Lockerbie release "is a matter for BP to answer." But he went on to say there was no evidence that Scotland's | decision was influenced by BP.
At issue is the British oil giant's efforts to win ratification of a deepwater oil deal off Libya's coast.
Cameron said he and Obama were in "violent agreement" that the release was a mistake.
However, they did disagree slightly over the issue of an investigation. Several U.S. senators have proposed a probe, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has called on both British and Scottish officials to review the situation.
Obama said it was important that all facts be released to the public, and Cameron said he agreed. But, Cameron added, "I don't think there's any | [

I was in the dairy aisle when I knew something was wrong. Looking farther down the aisle, where I normally would see my favorite Tropicana orange juice (lots of pulp plus calcium), I instead saw a wall of unfamiliar OJ. Tropicana had re-branded, and I was lost.
That was dramatic yet real - after years and years of the same familiar packaging, Tropicana changed its product design, a change that made differentiating its varieties and flavors almost impossible. I originally thought the criticism was silly, but Tropicana then added visual keys to the shelves in supermarkets to help customers find their favorite OJ (and to not accidentally buy tangerine-orange, which I almost did many times).
The good news in this case is that Tropicana listened to customers and decided to revert to the old packaging! I think all the analysis in the blogosphere was both impressive and cut to the heart of the real problem - it's not that we love the | old packaging, the new designs were just too similar and confusing. I'll be happy to have back the same old color-coded cartons.
Another recent case of a favorite brand re-branding is Pepsi, which moved from its lively blue and silver design to a dark blue (almost purple) packaging with a now-distorted version of the iconic Pepsi brand mark. While the similarity of color at least allows me to still find the product, this change is boring and really subdues the packaging. I would have | [

The Lookout begins with Chris Pratt (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) as a cocky teenage hockey player; a car accident leaves him hollowed, with a frail, damaged brain. Levitt, one of the best young actors we’ve got, nails the frustration and wounded body language of a fallen jock idol, and creates a character far removed from the equally vivid adolescents he played in Brick and Mysterious Skin. The post-accident Chris is approached by Gary (Matthew Goode), supposedly a former classmate, who is planning to rob the bank where Chris works nights as a janitor. This feeble seduction into crime — Chris is plied with doses of house-partying and camaraderie — fits perfectly with the film’s desolate, small-town Kansas setting, where most people worth knowing seem to have moved away. Call it townie noir. Veteran screenwriter and first-time director Scott Frank has adapted some terrific crime pictures (Out of Sight, Minority Report), but his source material may have concealed a corny sense of humor, embodied here by Jeff Daniels | as Chris’s wisecracking blind roommate (get this: he’s blunt-spoken and slurps his soup!).

|The red carpet is again today awaiting high priests of global warming at the German Climate Computing Centre in Hamburg.|
The German high priests of the global warming religion are today celebrating the 25th anniversary of their holiest temple, DKRZ, the German Climate Computing Centre in Hamburg.
The director of the visualization and public relations department, Dr.
Michael Böttinger, proudly describes the work done in this huge center:

After the last time that PSN went down for a significant length of time
, it's no surprise that Sony wants us all to know that this time it's intentional. The official PlayStation Blog
brings word of a major upcoming outage tomorrow for the PlayStation Network that it says is expected to last around 13 hours.
We will be performing routine scheduled maintenance on the network on Monday, April 16th, starting at approximately 6:00 am PDT / 9:00 am EDT.

During much of this time, users won’t be able to access the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, Account Management or play | online.

Baltimore Symphony disputes info in much-linked Web story about struggling orchestras
A story making its way through cyberspace this week (it started at 247wallst.com and was quickly picked up by other sitesd) offers a snapshot of the "most cash-strapped classical music organizations."
But the writer, Jonathan Berr, used outdated and misleading information, at least when it came to including the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on that list.
In case you've come across that article (I rather hate to fuel the buzz, but I guess I should provide a link to it), there are a few details you may want to consider.
The BSO is shown with a deficit of $5.3 million. But, as BSO president/CEO Paul Meecham points out, "that's two-year-old information. We balanced the budget for 2009-2010 and we are on track to balance the budget for '10-'11. We have no | accumulated debt. It's unfortunate that the article was written by a journalist who did not make an effort to check the information. A quick call from the writer would have clarified things, but he didn't do that. It's very frustrating."

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called on the National Assembly to make public the report of the public hearing held across the country on the review of the 1999 Constitution.
The Congress warned the House of Representatives not to yield to pressure from some quarters, particularly the Governors' Forum whom it alleged is against some popular proposals on critical sections of the constitution most Nigerians advocated should be included in the new constitution.
President of the NLC, Abdulwahed Omar, in a statement said the signals coming from the House on the review of the constitution was disturbing, warning the lawmakers not to truncate the will of the Nigerian people.
Omar specifically warned that the National Assembly should not allow itself to be used to impose tenure elongation for any political office, including the office of the president and governor as Nigerians have consistently opposed it.
"We warn that the National Assembly should not allow itself to be used to impose tenure elongation for any political office, including the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Office of Governor etc, as Nigerians have consistently opposed this since it was fraudulently introduced | to public discourse and legislative attention during the Obasanjo administration.

Business confidence at four month high
Business confidence and conditions strengthened in February to a four month high, but growth remains below the highs seen in late 2009, a survey shows.
But businesses were caught unprepared for the surge in February, as inventories declined and hiring slowed.
The National Australia Bank (NAB) business confidence index gained four points to plus-19 points in February.
It was the survey's highest level since November 2009 when it also touched plus 19 points, which at the time was a seven-year high.
"The latest survey indicates at least a partial bounce back in both confidence and conditions," NAB group chief economist Alan Oster said in a statement on Tuesday.
"It is possible that, just as the extent of the slowing in January may have been unexpected, so the uptick in February took many businesses by surprise, with some de-stocking in the face of stronger trading conditions and a slight fall in the employment index."
Business and trading conditions grew five points to plus eight in the month, while profitability was at plus seven, up from plus | two in January.
The employment index slid one point to plus five but was still above long term average levels, the survey said.
Confidence rose sharply in mining, retailing, wholesaling and transport.
In trend terms, however, confidence was highest in the mining industry but weakest in retailing and recreation/personal | [

No, you're right. The main points would be the MP3-less engine, and that a game is not based on an established IP. But also, just to cover ourselves, it might be handy for potential developers to keep in mind the various stipulations that are attached to free or royalty-free resources they may decide to use.

use, requires a credit or permission, or is covered by a Creative Commons license (or some such).

I’ve got a set of cocktail napkins that features a drawing of a woman above a word balloon declaring: “If I’d have known he was going to be a writer, I would have been a better parent.” This could be the motto of the Minot clan, which has spawned not one but three writers inspired by the family’s emotional depths. In 1986, Susan Minot introduced the basic drama — alcoholic father, mother killed in a car crash — in the spare, elliptical collection, Monkeys; 13 years later, her sister Eliza took on similar material in her novel The Tiny One. Now, brother George weighs in with The Blue Bowl, a novel that differs from its predecessors in certain respects, but can’t stay away from the basic issues at their collective heart. The story of Simon Curtis, a 30-something painter, The Blue Bowl evokes a spectacularly stunted adulthood, one constrained entirely by the traumas of the past. Simon, after all, is an adult in name only; a drifter, he keeps returning to family homes in Maine or Massachusetts, despite his father’s admonitions to stay away. Simon and his father | want nothing to do with each other; each holds the other accountable for a host of real and imagined sins. But when the father is murdered, and Simon is discovered in an upstairs bedroom, the family situation grows increasingly surreal.

As I was driving home from work recently, I heard a new song on the radio. Encouraged by the driving beat and engaging tune, I turned up the volume, only to be sorely disappointed. At least every fourth word, or so it seemed, was deleted or bleeped. As near as I could make out, it was typical "gangsta" fare: guns, bitches, 187s, and their interplay in the life of the rapper.

La Liga Week 26: Robinho saves Real Madrid, Agüero destroys Barcelona
Real Madrid’s 2-3 victory at Recreativo put their advantage over second place Barcelona back to five points this weekend after Barça went down 4-2 at Atletico Madrid. Brazilian star Robinho came on as a substitute to win the game for Madrid with two goals in the last twenty minutes, but the performance of the week came from Atletico’s 19-year-old Argentinian Kun Agüero who tore apart Barça’s defence and made the likes of Puyol and Milito look like amateurs.

Taking in the roadside scenery of life-sized mermaids, supermarkets shaped like stalks of broccoli and motels disguised as medieval castles, I’m both appalled and amused at the prospect of spending Passover amongst such company. The town of Kissimmee, Florida, is home to the most popular theme parks in America, serving as a mecca for tourists from all over the world.

With its dramatic cover art and fantastical story plots, science fiction dared readers to dream of amazing possible futures filled with aliens, robots, and all sorts of gadgetry.

Falcons cut starters Abraham, Turner, Robinson
Atlanta makes cuts to save almost $16 million
To save almost $16 million under the salary cap, the Atlanta Falcons released running back Michael Turner, defensive end John Abraham and cornerback Dunta Robinson on Friday.
Turner was expected to be released. His base salary in 2013 was $6.9 million and his cap figure was to be $8.9 million. He rushed for 6,081 yards in five seasons with the falcons and scored 60 touchdowns.
General manager Thomas Dimitroff and head coach Mike Smith said at the Scouting Combine last week that more tough decisions would have to be made. Smith said he was open to Jacquizz Rodgers taking on a larger role in the offense after Turner averaged 3.6 yards per carry and faded down the stretch last season.
"As a football coach it is never easy to cut any player, especially veteran players who have been valuable members of the organization | ," said Smith. "The guys we released today have contributed to the success that we have had over the last five years, and we greatly appreciate their efforts."

So the trip to Istanbul is just a couple of days of down time - time alone to chill, relax, wind down before I fly to the south of Turkey to meet my friends for the holiday proper.
The last time I was in Istanbul it was new year's eve four years ago, and it was cold. Grey, wet and cold.
