FDA Approves New Indication for Crestor
The new indication is for reducing the likelihood of a heart attack or stroke or the need for a procedure to treat blocked or narrowed arteries in patients who have never been told they have heart disease but are nevertheless at increased risk of a cardiac event.
Specifically, this includes men 50 years of age and older and women 60 years of age and older who have an elevated amount of a substance known as high sensitivity C-reactive protein in their blood and at least one additional traditional cardiovascular risk factor such as smoking, high blood pressure, a family history of premature heart disease, or low amounts of high-density lipoprotein or HDL cholesterol, the so-called "good cholesterol."
This new indication does not support the use of Crestor in individuals who have an elevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein but no traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
Crestor is in a class of drugs called statins, which work by stopping an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase from making cholesterol. High amounts of low-density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol, the so-called "bad cholesterol," is a known risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, and heart disease.
"This expanded indication for Crestor will provide health care providers with a new therapeutic option to help appropriately-identified people lower their risk for a cardiac event," said Eric Colman M.D., deputy director, Division of Metabolism and Endocrinology Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
The new indication was based on results from a study called the JUPITER trial, which compared 8,901 patients who received Crestor for two years to the same number of patients who received a placebo. Patients who took Crestor experienced fewer cardiac events, including heart attacks and strokes, and underwent fewer procedures such as coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass surgery to treat or revascularize their arteries.
High sensitivity C-reactive protein is a nonspecific indicator of inflammation, which is associated with the buildup of cholesterol and other fatty material in the coronary arteries.
Crestor is already approved for use in combination with diet and exercise to lower LDL cholesterol and a related substance known as triglycerides in patients with a high amount of these substances in their blood. The medication is also approved to slow the progression of atherosclerosis – a thickening of the artery wall due to the buildup of cholesterol and other fatty materials.

Notes An aerial photograph of the 22nd Junior Rose Bowl football game, held 1:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon, December 11, 1976. The Bakersfield College Renegades beat the Ellsworth Community College Panthers 29 - 14. It was Bakersfield's fourth time attending the game. Rose Bowl Stadium sits in the center of the photo just in front of the Brookside Golf Course. Seco Street runs along the bottom beneath the parking lot and meets up with Rosemont Avenue at the lower right. Lower left is a baseball field, which in 1988 was restored and dedicted as Jackie Robinson Memorial Field; just to the right of that is the Rosemont Pavilion. On the left side, running past the stadium, is the Arroyo Seco. Back of the photo, lower right, "#2 - 2"

Deep in the underground of the College Avenue Student Center is the ever-famous Red Lion Café, most known for holding live shows of all kinds. The Association of Punjabi Students at Rutgers University (APRU) hosted its very first open mic last Thursday night.
It was an awesome show with a wide variety of acts ranging from rap battles to one girl performing Bollywood and Bhangra dances, right down to the good old traditional acoustic guitar sets. There was something for everybody.
The hype was definitely there and the event ending up holding a full house, which was a much bigger turnout than the club had anticipated.
"We only thought like 25-30 people would be coming but … the crowd was even bigger than that," Patel said.
People will always come out and enjoy open mic nights.
Everyone seemed to enjoy every minute. Feeling the rappers hot beats, watching the dances in awe and singing along to acoustic renditions of hit songs, including a few open mic must-dos such as "Riptide" and "Feeling Good." You could feel the love with the thunderous applause after every set.
Patel stated that APRU has a pretty big fanbase and usually hosts more formal events but is looking into hosting more community-service oriented events with the open mic being one of the first.

Aristos was launched in October 1985 & designed by Des Townson, in fact the only launch Townson designed that was built. I understand there was a small launch designed but not built. Aristos was built by Noel May, is 36 feet long, 3 skins of kauri in the hull, with solid mahogany coamings & glassed ply decks .
She is powered by twin 60 HP Nissan diesels & cruises at 8 knots.
She sleeps 6 & was built for Ian & Vivienne Stembridge . She remained in the Stembridge family from new until early 2013. Being kept the whole time at Whitianga.
Aristos has recently been sold to Ray Haydon & Sarah Elleray of Auckland.
I said hello last weekend as I cruised past her stern in Oneroa, I would love to know more about the boat, she was flying the CYA burgee but I can not find her in the database?
MV SUMMER WINE (registered as such to avoid confusion with the plethora of Summer Wines) was designed and built by Noel May of Bucklands Beach, and launched in 1993, for his own use in retirement. Noel had been a long time friend of Des Townson and had built a number of Townson keelers, culminating in the build of ARISTOS, the only launch designed by Townson. The two launches are similar, but distinctly different in both dimensions and layout, in that they share the same materials (triple kauri hull, epoxied inside and glassed outside, teak coamings, glassed and clear finished, walnut panelling interior). ARISTOS has recently been purchased from Whitianga and is now in the OBC in the capable care of a jeweller, I believe.
SUMMER WINE hopes to become a classic when she is old enough, meanwhile her owners, most certainly are old enough to be classics, although their construction may let them down a bit, are content to be ordinary members of the CYA, hence the burgee.
My daughter, who knows about such things, took the opportunity to spend some time with Noel May shortly after we took the boat over and scanned a number of photos of the designing and construction and launching which she made into one of those self published book thingies. We have spare copies aplenty by the way, which the CYA is welcome to one of if there is any interest.


If you want to gain a first-hand impression of one of Sri Lanka's most typical religious traditions, namely the life of reclusive Buddhist monks, Salgala is the place to visit. No mass tourism will ever touch this silent place, which is located halfway between the river valleys of Maha Oya (Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage) and Kelani Ganga (Kitulgala). Salgala is an ancient forest hermitage which was revived in the 20th century. Several of the picturesquely situated caves are inhabited by forest monks again. They invite respectful and silent visitors to walk around in the delightful jungle area, but access is permitted only before noon. Salgala is believed to have been the hiding place of the famous King Walagambha (Vattagamani Abhaya) during his several years in exile from Anuradhapura. Though there are many cave temples claiming to be one of this places inhabited by Walagambha, Salgala is considered to be a top candidate.

El Pollo Loco Unveils New L.A. Mex Restaurant Design with Enhanced Off-Premise Convenience and Digital Footprint to Meet Evolving Customer Demand
Flexible and Modular Design Inspired by L.A. Mex Identity – SoCal Style and Mexican Heritage
El Pollo Loco, Inc. the nation's leading fire-grilled chicken restaurant chain, today unveiled its new restaurant of the future designed to enhance off-premise convenience powered by a more robust and frictionless digital experience.
The re-imagined El Pollo Loco restaurants have been inspired by the changing habits of consumers to enjoy a more digital-forward and contactless off-premise experience that was inevitably sped up by the COVID-19 pandemic. The new concept will also feature a modern interpretation of the brand's heritage and strengths, including iconography distinct to Los Angeles and the El Pollo Loco L.A. Mex brand.
There are two versions of this new restaurant design. One version is fully focused on driving business off-premise and has a take-out window, a dual drive-thru, dedicated curbside pick-up parking spaces, and patio seating but no indoor dining room. The second version includes a dual drive-thru, dedicated curbside pick-up parking spaces, and a smaller than typical dining room that opens up to an expansive patio through the use of flexible garage style doors. When open these garage doors seamlessly blend the indoor and outdoor experience and increase the comfort level of customers dining inside by enabling them to enjoy their meal in an airy, well ventilated environment.
The restaurant designs share an enhanced digitized experience – including cubbies for mobile to-go orders, a double drive-thru with digital menu boards, and GPS-enabled curbside pick-up, all integrated with the company's dynamic and versatile mobile app.
To honor the brand's heritage and highlight what makes El Pollo Loco so unique, subtle brand cues permeate throughout the entire restaurant, from the cleaver door handles (which is a nod to the fact that all chicken is cut to order) to the turning fork chandeliers (which repurposes a tool of trade used by the brand's skilled Grill Masters). Similarly, murals, imagery and city maps evoking the brand's 40-year Los Angeles hometown roots on the interior and exterior walls.
"Where you will see our commitment to design manifest itself in the most dramatic of ways is with our new restaurant of the future," said Brian Carmichall, Chief Development Officer at El Pollo Loco. "To compete in a COVID world, we knew we needed to create a unique concept that is anchored in technology, accessibility, and modern design elements infusing our brand history to make it easier and more rewarding to be a customer."
EL Pollo Loco's new L.A. Mex restaurants, the first of which are being built this quarter and in 2021, will come to life with innovative features for the most seamless customer experience possible:
Double Drive-Thrus: Select restaurants will feature two drive-thru lanes and digital menu boards to expedite the experience.
Retail-As-Theater: The back-of house where the chicken is grilled will be fully exposed through an enlarged window in the drive-thru lane, showcasing the artisanal and culinary skills of El Pollo Loco's Grill Masters while customers wait for their food.
Pick-Up Cubbies: Customers will have the option to go fully contactless and pick up their mobile to-go orders from designated cubbies inside the restaurant.
GPS-Enabled Curbside: As part of the recently launched loyalty experience, Loco Rewards customers will have expanded access to GPS-enabled curbside pickup on the mobile app – allowing the opportunity to automatically alert the restaurant team that they have arrived from the dedicated pickup parking spots for the fastest possible service.
Outdoor Seating: A new extension to the traditional dining room, giving customers the option to enjoy dining outdoors under a covered patio.
"The future is now. We're excited to roll out our evolved restaurant concept, which brings us to the culmination of the company's three-year transformation agenda and sets us up for geographical expansion in the years ahead," said Bernard Acoca, President & Chief Executive Officer at El Pollo Loco. "This will be the catalyst to eventually get us back to 5% annual new unit growth across the U.S."
A version of the L.A. Mex restaurant formats will open in the Los Angeles market in the form of remodels this month. To preview the design, please visit El Pollo Loco's YouTube here.
El Pollo Loco (Nasdaq:LOCO) is the nation's leading fire-grilled chicken restaurant with a mission to bring people together around food, family, and culture in the communities it serves. El Pollo Loco is renowned for its handcrafted L.A. Mex food, an innovative blend of traditional Mexican cuisine and better-for-you eating, that Los Angeles is known for. Since 1980, El Pollo Loco has successfully opened and maintained more than 465 company-owned and franchised restaurants in Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Louisiana while remaining true to its Mexican-American heritage. El Pollo Loco continues to grow and evolve, nourishing connections to tradition, culture, and one another through fire-grilled goodness that makes us feel like familia.

Vanderbilt charges past Hawaii in Diamond Head Classic
Dec 23, 2021 • December 23, 2021 • 2 minute read • Join the conversation
Scotty Pippen Jr. recorded 21 points and four steals to lead Vanderbilt to a 68-54 victory over Hawaii on Wednesday night in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic at Honolulu.
Shane Dezonie added 10 points in the wire-to-wire victory for the Commodores (7-4), who will face BYU in Thursday's semifinals. The Cougars (10-2) defeated South Florida 54-39 in their first-round contest.
Vanderbilt charges past Hawaii in Diamond Head Classic Back to video
Noel Coleman, a junior, scored a career-best 31 points for Hawaii (4-4) and made a career-high six 3-pointers for the second consecutive game.
Junior Madut added 10 for the Rainbow Warriors, who were plagued by 21 turnovers.
Vanderbilt connected on 43.9 percent of its shots but was just 5 of 22 (22.7 percent) from 3-point range. The Commodores, who led by as many as 19 points, committed 13 turnovers.
Hawaii made 43.8 percent of its shots and was 8 of 25 (32 percent) from behind the arc. Coleman was 12 of 19 from the field, including 6 of 10 from deep.
The Rainbow Warriors will face South Florida (4-6) in a consolation game on Thursday.
Hawaii scored the first seven points of the second half to move within 35-31 with 16:58 remaining in the game.
Rodney Chatman buried a 3-pointer 21 seconds later to start a 10-4 run as Vanderbilt pushed its lead back to 10 with 14:09 left.
The Rainbow Warriors made another charge, and Coleman's layup cut the Commodores' lead to 52-47 with 7:14 left.
However, Hawaii went more than 3 1/2 minutes without a field goal and Vanderbilt went on a 13-2 run. A stellar putback by Pippen made it 61-48 with 4:24 left, and Pippen completed the run with four free throws to make it 65-49 with 3:54 remaining.
Coleman scored on a layup 17 seconds later to end the Rainbow Warriors' drought.
Pippen scored 13 first-half points to help Vanderbilt hold a 35-24 lead at the break.
Trey Thomas drained two 3-pointers during a 14-0 run as the Commodores opened up a 28-9 lead. Pippen capped the burst with a basket with 6:36 remaining in the half.
Coleman then erupted by scoring all of Hawaii's points during a 10-2 surge as the Rainbow Warriors moved within 11 with 3:54 left.
Coleman connected on his fifth trey of the half with 1:41 left to cap his 19-point first half.


Whether stranded on a desert island or packing for a holiday, one of my must-have products is a black kohl eyeliner.
This modest, unassuming pencil, holds the key to so many beautiful, bold looks. The most notorious perhaps is the post-party, morning-after look demonstrated at the Topshop Unique SS14 show.
Inspired by the Ibiza party girl, Topshop's offering was a daring -but welcome- contrast from the fresh faced trend that has dominated the season.
To achieve this look you'll need a great kohl liner to line both the top and bottom lash lines.
M.A.C have long dominated the market with their… Liner, but Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide on Pencil (£15 from UrbanDecay.com) is the strongest of contenders- it effortlessly glides on, stays put and does all you'd hope a black liner would do.
If you're after something that will stay on until the next morning, Benefit's Bad Gal Eyeliner (£15.50 available at Boots.com) is the one for you.
To ensure a faultless frame around the eyes layer a cake liner like Laura Mercier Tightline cake eyeliner (£19 at SpaceNK) into the roots of the lashes.
L'Oréal Miss Manga mascara (£8.99 at Boots) is a good choice here as volume can be added into the roots and the bottom lashes coated easily.
Finally to finish this morning-after, sultry look, add a little glow to the face with M.A.C Mixing Medium Shine (£15 available at M.A.C). It is another multi-tasking product that I am fond of. This is a clear cream that is used as a base for pigment, glittery or shimmer loose shadows. However, it can also be used by itself to offer a glossy, dewy quality to both eyelids and cheek bones.
If you're after a more traditional highlighter, Topshop's Glow Highlighter in Gleam (£9, Topshop.com) is a handy product to have in your arsenal.
Mastering bed hair is simple thanks to Bumble and Bumble. Work their Texture Hair (Un)dressing Creme (£22 at Boots) into damp hair and style with a diffuser.
Alternatively loose waves can be added with a curling wand- wrap for under a minute, let cool and then release. To add volume and texture into the roots, Paul Mitchell's Dry Wash (£9.95 at Lookfantastic.com), is a great option as it lasts longer than your average dry shampoo and smells great.
To finish spray hairspray Paul Mitchell's Stay Strong (£16.50 at Lookfantastic.com) into your hands and rub the ends of the hair together. This defines ends and gives waves an undone, slept in finish.
Now you're ready to party all night and stay up all morning.

Q: Refresh a tab on shiny app based on new data selected on the other tab I have a shiny app which has several tabs.
In the first tab, I am selecting data from a sample dataset and save it to the server as a CSV file.
In the second tab, I read the CSV file and plot it.
My problem:
When I come back to the first tab and change the data and save it, the plot in the second tab doesn't refresh even by clicking on the second tab name.
I don't want to refresh the whole app as it is a big app and loading is an issue.
I also want tab two to be refreshed automatically only by selecting the tab.
Thanks for your help.
here is a simple example:

Although less than flattering, I will tell the story.
Our business in India last week took us further away from the Delhi airport each day, culminating in a three-hour climb up a winding, dangerous, spectacular road in the Himalayas. On this final climb, as we dodged death (and cattle) ahead of us and absorbed the awesome views on both sides of us, I developed a case of motion sickness. Nothing too terrible, just enough to create a fuss for our hosts, which led to some rest, a nice visit from a young Indian doctor, and a bottle of Sprite. By evening, I felt better and had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful mountain village.
At 6:30am the following morning (warning: graphic material ahead), things went south. Literally. I will spare the terrible details, but suffice it to say that the next couple of hours were not pretty due to the onset of a malady common to travelers in the region. But to somehow make things worse, we were scheduled to leave that morning with the following itinerary: a three-hour drive down the mountain, followed by a seven-hour drive to Delhi; followed by a six-hour wait in the airport; followed by an eight-hour flight to Amsterdam; followed by a one-hour race across the airport; followed by a ten-hour flight to Los Angeles.
And I felt like crap, pardon the ironic word choice.
One of my colleagues provided a miracle drug to stop the I'd-rather-not-say, and we were faced with a decision on what to do with me. As my two colleagues considered donating me to India and our host offered to call an ambulance, I declared that I had four goals: (1) get down the mountain; (2) get to the airport in Delhi; (3) get to Amsterdam; and (4) get to Los Angeles. And that I would take them one at a time.
Well, I strapped myself in, armed with a granola bar, drugs, a bottled water, prayer, and another Sprite, and off we went after goal number one. It did not go so well. At one point on the journey down the mountain, we stopped for my traveling mates to have lunch. The smell of Indian food was not my friend, and I considered jumping off the mountain but did not have enough energy, so I strapped myself back in and continued on the journey.
I did survive the mountain and felt that there was hope—in fact, the lower elevation seemed to help. On phase two of the journey—the seven-hour drive to Delhi—we stopped at a roadside convenience store where I discovered a can of plain Pringle's and thought that God might like me again. But alas, by the time night fell and we reached the airport, and possibly because we reached the crazy rush hour traffic of Delhi, I started to feel terrible again. But hey, goal number two was accomplished.
The six-hour wait in the airport is not a fond memory. On the plus side, I did eat most of a sandwich and then slept for a few hours sprawled across three plastic chairs, but by the time we boarded the flight to Amsterdam, I approached my lowest moment. As the plane took off (thus ensuring I would reach goal number three), I longed for death once again. I was certain that I would do ugly things in the airplane lavatory and even unfastened my seatbelt so that I could run for it—only you can't run to the lavatory with drink carts in the aisle, and once you get there they are almost always occupied, and should a miracle occur and one be vacant I can't fit in one anyway, much less if I am having convulsions. And any change of clothes was packed in checked luggage. I wished the plane would crash and somehow kill only me.
But somehow, after a few hours of misery, I improved enough for some fitful sleep, and by the time we completed my third goal I was in good enough shape to make it across the airport to board the plane to Los Angeles.
The final ten hours were not the happiest of my life, but I think you get the drift of the story by now. I made it home after the terrible thirty-five hour journey and fully believe in miracles.
So why do I share such an embarrassing story? I have faced a few significant challenges in my life, and there will be more for me and also for you. When such challenges arise, and the journey ahead seems perilous and terrible with no guarantee of survival, sometimes you must set out on the journey anyway.
When such a journey is inevitable, fix your eyes on the road ahead, take it one step at a time, hope for some friends to journey with you, and just try to hold on. You might not make it, but then again, you might.

Virgin Money boss' review calls for firms to link bonuses to appointment of female senior staff
The OECD estimated that equalising the role of men and women in the labour market could increase GDP by ten per cent by 2030. However, the "Global Gender Gap Report 2014", found that the gender gap for economic participation and opportunity only stands at 60 per cent worldwide. Based on this trajectory, it will take 80 years for the world to close this gap completely.
And while Lord Davies has hailed the near-revolution which has taken place in the boardroom" after it was announced that there are no all-male boards leftin the FTSE 100, the overall gender pay gap stands at 19.1 per cent, down from 27.5 per cent in 1997. For full-time workers the difference in pay is 9.4 per cent. When it comes to financial and insurance roles, however, the pay gap stands at 35.2 per cent.
In an effort to tackle the problem, bosses with more than 250 employees are facing new rules forcing them to publish their gender pay gaps a requirement that, as was announced by prime minister David Cameron in October, will soon include bonuses.
To further expand female representation in the workplace, Jayne-Anne Gadhia, CEO of Virgin Money, has agreed to lead a review into women in senior managerial roles in the financial services industry. And the proposal to make the remuneration packages of a firms executive team dependent on gender balance is one of the preliminary recommendations.

"Why do I make less than male co-stars Hollywood's elite on the gender pay gap
Women have little faith the gender pay gap will be closed
UK unveiled as most unequal rich nation in the world
It will shortly publish a call for evidence on these recommendations, and will publish a final report ahead of the 2016 Budget.
"Some 60 per cent of the financial services workforce are women, but less than 20 per cent of them reach executive positions," Gadhia said. "Businesses will increase productivity and improve results by encouraging more women into senior roles. My report proposes addressing the issue in a way that the City will recognise. Make it public, measure it and report on it. What gets published gets done."
Gadhia suggested that each company should appoint an executive to take responsibility for gender, diversity and inclusion.
She further claimed that it should be a wake-up call to everyone in financial services that fewer women progress to senior levels than in any other industry in the UK.
"There are many views as to why that might be," she said. "Motherhood, remuneration, the old boys network are all mentioned, but only scratch the surface of an issue that has been hidden for too long."

Get started crocheting hats with these basic crochet hat patterns. Plus, the patterns are totally FREE! Download one of these crochet hat patterns — and don't forget to upload photos of the finished hat to our projects when you're finished!
Chunky yarn is a beginner's dream since it works up so quickly. You can practice your pompom skills with this pattern, too. The pattern is basic enough for guys and girls, so you can crochet one for practically anyone who needs a cozy new accessory.
The gauge of this hat is loose with a nice drape — perfect for a bit of a slouch. The designer's mom stitched this hat for her while watching the Super Bowl, so that's all the proof you need that the pattern is a quick one!
Baby hats are awesome projects for beginners because they're so small. Designer Quadshotyarn created this pattern with charity in mind. Check out our "Ways to Knit and Crochet for Charity" for ideas on where you can donate preemie hats and other projects.
Crochet the most basic version of this hat first to familiarize yourself with the pattern, then try the version with the ear flaps. The half-double crochet is the ideal stitch for the hat, making it a quick project that has just the right amount of breathing room for your head.
The inspiration behind this pattern is to shop your stash. Designer YarnConfections has a pattern for several weights of yarn. This is the bulky version, but you can also check out the worsted and DK versions. Of course, if you don't have a stash yet, you can always choose a yarn based on a color you love instead.
I love how the design of this hat has an almost checkerboard pattern. It's casual enough to wear on the weekend, but it would also look great paired with something fancier like a pea coat.
This hat is meant for those days when you want a hat that's more fashionable than warm. As you can see from the photo, this is a great opportunity to use a yarn that features beads or sequins. The yarn featured here is also silk, so think about trying out a luxury yarn.
Isn't it amazing how one tiny detail can change an entire hat? This hat, inspired by the silhouettes of the '30s, has a simple I-cord detail on the side that gives it a totally different vibe. There's also a neat crab stitch finish, but if you can't seem to figure out how to do it, no sweat — just omit that row.
Beginners, this pattern was created just for you! Designer Missyt_00 wrote this pattern for a beginner crochet class, and she's graciously sharing it here for Craftsy members who are ready to make their first beanie.
Yes, even beginners can crochet earflaps! We promise they're easy. Designer MicahMakes encourages you to try different variations on this basic pattern once you're comfortable. Check out the Micah Makes blog for examples of those variations.
Beginners, what style hat do you plan to stitch for your first-ever hat project? Seasoned crocheters, please share your crochet hat tips with all of our beginners!
Get more crochet hat patterns, free and in support of independent designers, here!
I'm a beginner but ever hat I have made is way to big. What am I doing wrong?
Make sure you're using the right size yarn and hook. The bulky yarns will make it bigger.
You should make a gauge swatch next time. You made need to use a smaller hook to obtain the correct gauge.
Some yarns (maybe the less expensive ones) tend to stretch more than others.
These are fantastic beginner patterns! My favorite is the Easy Peasy Slouched hat. 🙂 For some other fun, beginner hat patterns, check out http://www.allfreecrochet.com/Hats/24-Beginner-Crochet-Hat-Patterns!
I am a beginner ,I would like to learn to crochet a hat.
I'm a beginner also and every hat I make ends up to small…like it would fit on a dolls head but not my toddlers. I use the correct hook and yarn but it still happens…but on the plus side I finally mastered that silly magic ring…even though I despise using it.
Try to make sure that you don't skip over any chains that you aren't supposed to skip over. If it helps, try counting out the amount of stitches to make sure you end with the right number.
Amazing patterns! I'm a big fan of crochet hats because they are very cute and they're a great DIY Gift. I remember crafting a basic half-double crochet hat for my niece that resembles the one in your article. She was very happy about it and she has worn it all season long.
Thank you for sharing these amazing crochet patterns. I think that my next project will be the gypsy hat.

Q: Matlab code for finding cluster centre in hierarchial clustering I am trying to find the cluster centers in hierarchical clustering. Below is the code i use. But this returns only the cluster numbers for each of the observations.
c = clusterdata(input,'linkage','ward','savememory','off','maxclust',10);

I am dealing with multi-dimensional data (32 dimensions). Any ideas or code would be very helpful

A: It really depends on how you define "center", but since you're going with hierarchical clustering, I'm assuming you don't have a parametric model for the distributions of your clusters. This simply computes the barycenter of all points in each cluster.
[n,p]  = size(input);
labels = clusterdata(input,'linkage','ward','savememory','off','maxclust',10);

centers = zeros(10,p);
for i = 1:10
    centers(i,:) = mean( input( labels == i, : ) );

20th Caesarea Forum: The Governor of the Bank of Israel's Address
A highlight of the second day of the 20th Caesarea Economic Policy Planning Forum, which was called the Eli Hurvitz Conference on Economy and Society, was an address by Prof. Stanley Fischer, Governor of the Bank of Israel. Governor Fischer shared his thoughts on the current state of the Israeli economy and responded to Prime Minister Netanyahu's announcement that the deficit will be increased to 3%, a decision that was echoed by Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz at an earlier session of the conference. Highlights of the session, which can be viewed in Hebrew or English in the Broadcast Center, can be found below.
Highlights of the Address
Governor of the Bank of Israel Stanley Fischer criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to increase the deficit to 3%, warning that Israel is at a dangerous turning point and that the government's proposed deficit of 3% must be reduced to 2.5%.
Fischer said that serious measures must be taken in light of the danger that the economic crisis hitting Europe will deepen. He estimated that the chances that the European bloc will begin to disintegrate due to the crisis are "under 50%."
"They speak about a 3% deficit as though we will reach it," said Fischer, "but I am not sure that we will if there is a recession." He said that he had heard claims that there is no difference between a 2.5% deficit and 3% deficit. "If this is the case," he reasoned, "then there is no difference between 3% and 3.5% and soon we will reach 5%."
The Bank Governor warned that Israel's current economic situation is not as strong as it was in 2008 when the last recession hit. He expressed fears that if the European economy continues to deteriorate, Israel will not fare as favorably as it did in the past.
Fischer added that Israel can no longer count on the US to help bail it out. "The last time this happened," he said, "we had to run to our rich uncle for guarantees. But there is a problem with our rich uncle today: He's not so rich and not as friendly."
Observers noted that Governor Fischer seemed to be warning the government of the possible consequences of irresponsible financial steps. Fischer remarked that if fiscal policy does not remain disciplined, "I do not expect that the Monetary Committee will be able to keep interest rates at the low level they are now…."
Fischer concluded his address by calling on the Israeli Government to cut spending and formulate a realistic budget that will lead to future stability and prosperity. "I see the strength of the economy as no less important for Israel's survival than the need for military strength," he added. "If we do not safeguard our economy, we will not be able to cope with the other challenges we are facing."
At the end of the session, IDI President Dr. Arye Carmon, who had spoken briefly prior to Bank Governor Fischer, thanked Shlomo Dovrat for his term as Chairman of the Board of the Israel Democracy Institute and congratulated incoming chairman Amir Elstein.

Anyone towing a basecamp with a minivan? Number wise mine will tow the weight but I am wondering about the real world application, I was looking hard at getting a Truck and then a slide in camper but a base camp will bet me out and camping quick with less of an investment and then in a couple of years I can get the truck and camper and still use the basecamp for the kids.
For many years we towed our 23' Safari with a Nissan Minivan. Worked great with no issues.
What year and type of Minivan do you have?
Just curious....what does a Basecamp weigh? I would think you could tow it with almost anything.
The 250HP Sienna is much more capable than our 150 HP Nissan. Get the connection and set up right and the Base Camp should be A1 to tow.
We have an '06 Tacoma and I find the tongue weight to be the issue. The trailer itself is only 2000lbs empty and tows like a dream... but I cannot lift the tongue myself... I'd estimate it is at least 400lbs on the tongue.
It is designed for smaller trailers with a pole type tongue.
I'd like to find some actual measurements for the thing... as it's the only one I think might work. The issue with the Basecamp is there is very little tongue to work with. The LP/AC cover takes up even more space, and the jack can only be mounted in one spot really. It's not even long enough for a swing up jack to be mounted.
I've also seen an adapter that let you use a normal a-frame WD kit with a single pole trailer. I don't think I need a 2 bar setup, but it might work better (or worse) depending on the length of the bars and where the adapter ends up.
I've towed the BC with a GMC Envoy inline 4.3l 6 cyl rated at 5500 lbs for towing, and factoy tow package with no problems whatsoever. Even had a 800 lb motorcycle loaded in the BC and while she worked a bit in the hill country...didn't have a problem. Last time out, ran into some strong cross winds and no problem handling. My son is taking my GMC Envoy at 115,000 miles (his car died) and I just picked up up a Buick Enclave SUV with a 3.5l V6 and towing pkg rated at 4500lbs. Based on my experience thus far, I don't think it will be a problem.
As to the minivan, it shouldn't be a problem, but you should check the rating for the vehicle hitch set up.

Dogs On Acid - "The Prick"
Over the last couple months, I have been getting super into Philly-based indie band Dogs on Acid. The band has a new record coming out on August 28th via Jade Trade Records and I highly recommend you pick it up. Check out a song from the record "The Prick" below.

Chatting with David Kilgour of the Clean
Last month, I reached out to New Zealand-based indie rock icon David Kilgour of the Clean and the Heavy 8's for an interview. I've been a megafan of the man's work for quite some time and you can hear his influence in a variety of bands, from Guided by Voices to Pavement to Parquet Courts.
It has been a busy year for the singer. In August, Kilgour and the Heavy 8's released their latest album End Times Undone on Merge Records. Merge also revisited his illustrious backcatalog by reissuing the Clean's comprehensive boxset, Anthology.
Both bands toured the States throughout the summer but there were rumblings of this last batch of shows being the final ones for the Clean (in the States atleast).
In our brief e-mail chat, I asked David about writing, painting, the recent shows, and the unfortunate passing of his former bandmate Peter Gutteridge.
When you are writing and recording songs, do your musical influences clearly push the direction of the songs at all or is it more of a stream of conciousness kind of approach?
DK: More and more it's a stream of consciousness approach and what follows is quite often the thought. First idea-best idea / first rule-no rule. I try not to overthink music. It often helps if there's a vague seed of an idea but that's not always needed. Songs still come to me semi-completed but I never "complete" them until recording.
Do you approach painting differently than making music?
DK: Not really. It's all about expression then arrangements of that expression.
Who are some of your favorite painters?
DK: Lately, Colin McCahon and Irene Ferguson.
Are there not twelve hours of daylight - Colin McCahon
How did you start working with Merge?
DK: I met Mac (McCaughan - co-founder of Merge / Superchunk ) touring with Yo La Tengo. I gave him an early version of the LP Feather In the Engine. They liked it and released it.
How did the Anthology reissue come about?
DK: Merge released Anthology years ago on CD. They thought it a good idea to release it on vinyl to help celebrate 25 years of Merge.
You said in an interview with The Quietus recently that nostalgia can "horrify one at times." That being said, how does it feel when you are playing these songs on stage, some of which are upwards of 30 years old?
DK: In recent times, I've been deconstructing the songs a little live, not to everyones taste, ha! To keep it fresh is the main challenge. These days our best new stuff comes from jamming at soundchecks. Maybe we should start recording those!
How did your recent US tour go? You've hinted at it being the last Clean tour for the foreseeable future.
DK: The US tour went well. Hard work and some fun thrown in. The Heavy 8's tour of California was more holiday like. Well, kind of.
I'm really not sure how much longer the Clean will continue to tour for. We have an Australian tour booked for next year and no plans after that. Without new material, it can become daunting and I can't see us recording any time soon.
I was deeply saddened to find out that Peter Gutteridge (co-founder of the Clean / the Chills / Snapper) had passed away. Would you care to share any thoughts, memories, or stories about him?
DK: It's still too close to the bone really to comment too much on but Peter was like a brother to me and all that entails. I met him before we picked up instruments and we became close friends pretty quick. If we hadn't of met I'm not sure The Clean would've happened. So apart from being a brother he was also a great creative partner and his passing has left a large hole.
Do you have any plans to record music with Hamish Kilgour (David's brother / drummer of the Clean)?
DK: Funny enough, Hamish and I recorded with Matt Swanson and Matt Bach in Nashville with vague plans to release something under the Great Unwashed name.
What are your plans for the next couple months?
DK: To complete a spoken word LP we have recorded with New Zealand-based poet Sam Hunt. We'll release that in late February and tour New Zealand. The Heavy 8s and I will start making another LP soon, I'm sure.
Thank you to David for taking the time to answer my questions. Pick up End Times Undone from Merge. And if you haven't ever listened to The Clean, do yourself a favor.

This lovely bedroom photograph reveals how sculptural objects hung on a wall can add aptitude. Along with Frozen themed pillows, snowflakes and other wintry, ice themed designs are quite common on pillows and ornamental cushions of all styles and sizes, particularly round Christmas time. My place isn't very huge so I want someone to come in and 'stability' my rooms up so to talk, this was fascinating! The deep indigo wall allows the bedhead and gorgeous Klaylife pendant light to 'pop'!"; while a timber 'Oxley' facet desk with a leather-based handle and a footstool with a tan leather-based prime and timber frame help to drag this bedroom look collectively, giving it a contemporary however luxurious feel", says Georgie.
