As part of its current exhibition, Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love, the Philadelphia Museum of Art is sharing a pattern for a one-seam coat designed by Patrick Kelly in 1984. (See my post on Patrick Kelly’s Vogue patterns here.)
After Kelly moved to Paris in 1979, he worked as a costume designer for Le Palace nightclub while also selling his coats on the sidewalk of the Boulevard Saint-Germain. When he secured a stall at Les Puces de Saint-Ouen, the famous Porte de Clignancourt flea market, his raw-edged jersey tube dresses caught the attention of his first backer, Françoise Chassagnac of Victoire. Thanks to Chassagnac’s connections, Kelly’s entire collection was featured in Elle magazine:
Although the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s coat dates to 1985, the design is the same as those Kelly sold on the Boulevard Saint-Germain.
Kelly’s one-seam coat would become a recurring feature in the designer’s work. A rethinking of Cristóbal Balenciaga’s iconic 1961 one-seam coat, it may have been inspired by Issey Miyake’s cocoon coat—Kelly was once the house guest of Miyake’s publicist, Victoria Rivière, in Paris.
The original coat is a quilted cotton knit. It has a simple revers opening in front, box pleats in the back, and batwing sleeves formed by the shoulder seam:
These technical drawings show the coat front and back:
Size: One size fits all
Fabric requirements: About 3.5 yards (3.2 m) of 60″ (~150 cm) fabric
Recommended fabrics: Fabrics with a good hand and drape, e.g. double knits and double-faced fabrics. The original is a quilted single knit.
Finished length: 52″ (132 cm)
Pattern length from top to bottom: 57.5″ (146 cm)
Tips, caveats: No separate instructions; scale and seam allowances are not marked. The coat must be cut on the cross grain. The original coat has a simple turn and stitch finish, with a sleeve binding piece for the sleeve openings.
A Parisian friend of Kelly’s has posted instructions to make a doll-scale version based on her Patrick Kelly original.
Thanks to Monica Brown, Senior Collections Assistant, Costume and Textiles, for answering questions about the project, and Paula M. Sim, Costume and Textiles intern, for drafting the pattern.

This past weekend, the exhibition Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love opened at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. (Read WWD’s coverage here.) The show is the second Patrick Kelly retrospective since the designer’s death from AIDS in 1990. (The first was the Brooklyn Museum’s Patrick Kelly: A Retrospective in 2004.)
Born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, Patrick Kelly (1954-1990) found success as an expatriate in Paris: he was the first American, and also the first black designer, to be elected to the Chambre syndicale du prêt-à-porter. Much of Kelly’s work references his southern, African-American heritage through the use of vibrant colour, buttons and bows, and reappropriated black memorabilia motifs such as watermelons and golliwogs. (Patrick Kelly shopping bags emblazoned with his golliwog logo, as seen in the above photo, were deemed too controversial to be used in the United States.)
Between 1988 and 1991, Vogue Patterns licensed Patrick Kelly designs, first in the Individualist line and later as Paris Originals. Here is a selection of Patrick Kelly sewing patterns, grouped by collection.
1. Patrick Kelly Spring/Summer 1988 prêt-à-porter
Vogue Patterns’ licensing began with Kelly’s Spring/Summer 1988 collection, his first under contract with Warnaco. This collection played with the culture and racial stereotypes of the American south. (Watch a YouTube video of the collection starting here.) Vogue 2077, the first of several Patrick Kelly patterns featuring African-American model Gail O’Neill, is a flamboyant peplum suit with back bow:
The suit seems to have made the cover of Vogue Patterns magazine:
Vogue 2078 is a tiered, off-the-shoulder dress for stretch knits:
More knit dresses from this collection can be seen in this photo by Oliviero Toscani, the photographer best known for his controversial Benetton ads:
2. Patrick Kelly Fall/Winter 1988-89 prêt-à-porter
Variations on the heart motif characterized Kelly’s Fall 1988 collection, entitled More Love; the collection was later included in “Heart Strings,” a touring fundraiser for the Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA). Vogue 2165 is a long-sleeved, colour-blocked dress with heart-shaped bodice:
A version with red contrast can be seen in Toscani’s ad campaign; the red bodice also appeared in the bridal look that closed the collection. Given the ‘love’ theme, it’s surprising that the red version was not photographed for the Vogue pattern:
Vogue 2304, a stretch-knit dress with Kelly’s trademark buttons applied in a rainbow triangle, is visible in the Toscani photo at the top of this post:
3. Patrick Kelly Spring/Summer 1989 prêt-à-porter
Having just been elected to the Chambre syndicale in June 1988, Kelly showed a Mona Lisa-themed collection for Spring 1989 in the courtyard of the Louvre. Vogue 2286 is a pattern for a full skirt, wide-legged pants, and a double-breasted top with notched shawl collar:
The red version of the top can be seen in this campaign photo by Oliviero Toscani:
4. Patrick Kelly Fall/Winter 1989 prêt-à-porter
Presented the year of the bicentenary of French Revolution, Kelly’s final collection was conceived as a celebration of France and America. Vogue 2385 is a shawl-effect dress designed for stretch knits; the contrast front inset extends into a shoulder drape. The illustration’s red drape version may be seen in Runway of Love:
The grey stripe version was featured in the Fall/Winter 1989 ad campaign:
Vogue 2556 is a button-studded ensemble consisting of jacket, skirt, and coat. The design requires forty-one buttons for the jacket alone:
The Vogue 2556 jacket and skirt were photographed for this Apollo Landing-themed campaign image:
A hot pink version, included in the Philadelphia exhibit, has a matching hat and cape, and rainbow buttons:
Despite covering only two years, the sewing patterns are an excellent sample of Kelly’s bold and playful work.
Patrick Kelly: Runway of Love runs through November 30th, 2014.

The absorption spectra of fused-silica samples, selected for their “typical” optical properties, are presented. The ultraviolet absorption edge shifts some 30 mμ toward the ir, between 22° and 982°C sample temperatures. In the same range, the 1.4-μ absorption peak passes through a maximum in absorption and the 2.23-μ peak passes through an absorption minimum; both move toward the ir. The water band at 2.75 μ shifts first toward the uv, then toward the ir, with increasing temperature, while monotonically decreasing in absorption.

Choosing a date to marry your Lao girl is a big decision. In Lao wedding customs there are "good" and "bad" days on the Buddhist calendar. Each year the good and bad days will be on a different date.
What this basically means is that it's in your best interest to get married on a good day because it will bring luck and fortune to the both of you. And you should avoid getting married on a bad day because it will only render bad luck or an unhappy marriage. As a result, choosing the date becomes a very important issue in Lao culture.
The day, month and year that you and your Lao girlfriend were born, and the animal associated with your birth year on the Lao Zodiac are also significant factors in determining a good day to have a wedding.
The ideal months to get married are December, January and February, the best day in the month is another matter that you need to look on the Buddhist calendar as a reference. March and April are good months as well but the weather is very hot in Laos. Lao people do not get married during the rainy season because it is considered bad months during these periods.
Some Lao people living abroad believe that it is superstitious to follow this tradition, so they decide not to follow the advice of elders. Instead, they believe best day is the day that works for their work schedules, and that allows them enough time to plan the big day and their friends and family are available.
In this day and age, that is acceptable since Lao people in foreign countries live a more hectic life than many people in Laos who have all the time in the world to do anything, so sometimes following the Buddhist calendar is not convenient for the Lao people overseas.

DIY-giant Screwfix has come under fire from workers for continuing to operate during the coronavirus lockdown.
The company has remained open for business throughout the COVID-19 outbreak despite a number of non-essential firms and public venues being forced to close by the Government.
But now employees working at Screwfix's Trentham Lakes site – which is run by its logistics partner Wincanton – have hit out at the company saying it is putting 'profits before health.'
An anonymous Screwfix employee, who works at the Stanley Matthews Way warehouse, said: "Many members of staff do not feel safe but it seems like profits are more important than our health."
Earlier this week, BirminghamLive reported how workers based at Screwfix's Fradley distribution centre, near Lichfield, slammed the company's decision to continue operating – and not offering workers furlough payments.
An unnamed Screwfix employee said: "Screwfix is making massive profits on online sales because people are doing DIY. They are saying they are an essential services company, but they are using it as a bank holiday bonanza.
"They are not giving people the choice of going on 80 per cent pay – it is absolutely disgusting."
However, businesses are not obliged to furlough employees and those who are able to continue working are ineligible for the payments.
A furloughed employee is someone who is temporarily laid off by a company – and paid 80 per cent of their wage during the period until normal work resumes.
But, furloughed workers cannot undertake any work for their company during the period.
A recent statement published on the Screwfix website states the company is continuing to offer home delivery and click and collect services for essential products only.
The retailer has put a stop to in-store browsing and instead operates a drop-zone collection at the entrance to its stores for click and collect orders only.
It adds strict social distancing measures have been put in place and that Screwfix will continue to review its proposition on a daily basis in line with government advice.
A spokesperson from Wincanton said: "The health and safety of our people, our customers and the general public is our number one priority.
"We are carefully following government advice to keep Britain’s supply chains moving – it’s critical we have the right people and infrastructure in place to support the country’s requirements in line with that advice, whether that’s food and production, medical supplies, hardware for tradespeople and construction workers, fuel and milk deliveries, building materials and personal safety equipment.
"Our health and safety and site management teams are working flat out to ensure that site by site people have the right protective equipment, that social distancing is adhered to across all areas and that cleaning regimes are carried out at a far greater frequency.
"We believe that these measures together should provide a safe environment for all workers at this difficult time."

Cruising on the Island: How to Plan a Luxury Trip to Andaman Island
Not many people are aware that Andaman Islands are home to some of the best beaches in the world. However, Andaman Islands are not just known for their white sand and crystal clear blue water beaches. This beguiling paradise on earth surprises visitors with its huge variety of flora and fauna, dense mangrove forests, simple way of life, dense green forest cover, huge variety of sea life, and miles and miles of beaches with no one around. And if you plan a luxury trip to Andaman Island, the experience becomes even more enchanting. Planning a luxury vacation to Andaman Island is not so hard, if you keep few points in mind.
When to Visit
Most people visit Andaman Islands to enjoy the beaches and indulge in scuba diving, snorkeling, trekking, boat ride, undersea walking, and parasailing. These activities are best enjoyed when the weather is clear and temperatures are bearable. Summer here starts from April and lasts till June. During the summer months the temperature ranges from 24 degree Celsius to 37 degree Celsius. During the month of June the breeze will get a little warm, but it is still pleasant. The monsoon starts from May and lasts till September. Though the temperatures are bearable during this time, the continuous rain will not let you enjoy much. The winter here is mild with temperatures ranging from 20 degree Celsius to 30 degree Celsius. The winter period between December and February sees a huge influx of tourists who are eager to soak in this paradise. Taking into consideration all this, it would be wise to conclude that the best time to visit Andaman Islands is between the months of October and May.
How to Reach Andaman Islands
The best way to reach Andaman Islands is via air. You can book tour packages from Andaman Tourism, if you plan your vacation three or four months in advance, you will be able to find cheap air tickets. If you book your air tickets few days before your scheduled visit, chances are that you will end up paying too much. You can also reach Andaman Island via a helicopter ride, but remember that this is going to cost you. A cheaper way to reach Andaman Island is via a cruise ship. However, it will take at least three or four days to reach your destination. Plus, the facilities on the ships are not that great. If you book your air tickets well in advance, you will reach there comfortably and begin to explore this paradise right away.
Where to Stay
There is only one five star resort on this island; however, this does not mean that there are no other great resorts on this island for you to enjoy your luxury vacation.
Taj Exotica Resort and Spa: Located on Radhanagar Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches of the world, Taj Exotica Resort and Spa offers a truly luxurious vacation. The beauty and calmness of nature around the resort is like a balm that will sooth and rejuvenate your soul and body.
Comfort Inn Blue Waves: Though this is a four star hotel, it is definitely not short on services and luxurious rooms. Located in Port Blair, your luxurious holiday in Andaman Islands will only be enhanced by your stay in Comfort Inn.
Sea Shell Resort: This four star luxury resort is located on Havelock Island, which is one of the most visited islands in Andaman. The resort is loaded with spacious rooms, delicious food, and wonderful service.
Barefoot Jungle Resort: This is another great resort located on Havelock Island and the calm and jungle surrounding of this resort makes staying here truly memorable. A luxurious stay here allows you to be one with nature.
Places to Visit
Once you have decided where to stay, you can move on to decide the places that you will like to explore in Andaman Islands. This is going to be a difficult decision, because there are so many places to visit here and so much to do in Andaman Islands. Since you are going to be here for few days only, it would be advisable to visit places that are most popular and indulge in activities that are close to your heart.
Diglipur Island: If you are a nature lover and love trekking, make sure you visit Diglipur Island. Ross and Smith Islands, Ramanagar Beach, Kalipur Beach, and Pathi Level Beach are known for their aqua blue water and white sand. Go for scuba diving or snorkeling to see the rich sea life inhabiting the ocean here. A trek to the famous limestone caves here is like no other.
Havelock Island: This is one of the most visited islands in Andaman. Though it is usually buzzing with tourists, you can still find places where you are the only soul conversing with nature and soaking in the beautiful sight of the rolling ocean. The white sand beaches outlined by dense green forest are always inviting visitors to get lost in their vastness.
Neil Island: Like other islands in Andaman, Neil Island also has some exquisite beaches like, Sitapur Beach and Lakshmanpur Beach. Whether you come here to watch the sunrise at Sitapur Beach or to explorethe coral reefs at Bharatpur Beach, you will wish that you can stay back and do it everyday.
Baratang Island: The natural beauty of this place will leave you in awe. It is an island that can be explored in one day, but it will leave you with memories that you will cherish forever. You will not be able to forget the sight of thousands of parrots flying around on Parrot Island, which you must visit if you are coming to Baratang Island. The vastness and calmness of beaches here will make you want to come back again and again.
Eating Out in Andaman Island
Population of Andaman Islands mainly consist of migrants from Bengaland South India. Therefore, it is not surprising that South Indian and Bengali cuisines are most popular here. However, foodies will be happy to know that restaurants here serve freshly cooked seafood, North Indian cuisine, and even continental food. B3, Ha-O, Mandalay, Anju Coco, Golden Spoon, and New Lighthouse Restaurant are just some of the hot eating joints in Andaman Islands where you can enjoy delicious food amidst beautiful natural surroundings.
Now that you know that a luxurious vacation is absolutely possible in Andaman Islands, what is stopping you from planning one?

HOUSTON — A group called Government Crime Stoppers has posted a $2,500 reward for tips that lead to the prosecution of anyone in City Hall for violating open records laws.
The announcement of the award comes as questions have been raised about transparency in Houston city government, a criminal complaint filed against Mayor Sylvester Turner by a former investigative reporter, and the possibility that the Harris County District Attorney may be looking into the actions of Turner’s press secretary who hid 5,000 documents after a records request.
“From what we read, and in what’s been said there are some problems and allegations surrounding City Hall in the city of Houston,” said Perry Huckabay, who leads Government Crime Stoppers. “In an effort to try to get to the truth we put out on our website an offer of a reward for any information which leads to the discovery of wrongdoing in that area.”
Houston City Hall has increasingly become the center of press reports alleging illegal activity, such as: (1) failure to turn over documents by the Houston mayor’s press secretary related to sideline work conducted during City work hours, and; (2) concealment of public documents by City officials on a separate issue in connection with a $37 million, 20-year recycling contract.
Are you knowledgeable of issues in Houston dealing with transparency, open records, and hidden documents that should be public?
Send us a tip online in order to be eligible for a cash reward.
“The city works hard under state law to comply with all open records requests,” said Turner spokesman Alan Bernstein.
The missing 5,000 emails
The most prominent open records story to come out of City Hall recently has been the news that Turner press secretary Darian Ward was running a side business during her working hours — and hid documents in connection with that business.
When The Texas Monitor inquired about that business in October, she said she had 30 documents in connection with the request.
A city investigation found there were in fact 5,000 records, showing emails where she was working on the side with her production company Joy in Motion.
Ward was suspended for two weeks without pay when the incident was found out.
At a press conference earlier this month, Turner defended Ward.
“The matter is closed,” he said at the time. “It’s been looked at by legal, it’s been looked at by HR.”
Turner said he even went “over and above the recommendation” that his staff gave him for Ward’s recommended suspension. He also said he would not be forwarding this issue to the Attorney General, or the Harris County District Attorney, even though it appears state law may have been violated.
The emails are scheduled to be released soon to The Texas Monitor, a Turner spokesman said.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said he will hand over to the District Attorney whatever is requested regarding allegations of misconduct against his press secretary.
“Whatever it is and whatever the D.A. needs, we will comply and we will be responsive,” he said.
A criminal complaint from former investigative reporter
Former longtime investigative reporter Wayne Dolcefino, who now runs his own communications firm, has filed a criminal complaint with the District Attorney against Turner over another issue: a claim that the mayor uses his law firm server to conduct city business, and that he has been withholding emails.
In addition, Dolcefino has been asking for open records in connection with a $37 million, 20-year recycling deal. He represents EcoHub, a company that wanted the recycling contract, but which did not bid on it.
Houston City Council approved last week the contract with winning bidder, Spain-based FCC.
Dolcefino Consulting and EcoHub filing a lawsuit to compel production of records surrounding the deal.
Turner has refused to release the scoring sheets or the names of the city employees who chose the company, according to Dolcefino. The proposed contract with winning bidder FCC is being kept secret too, Dolcefino said.
Turner has strongly defended the city’s process of choosing a recycling company, and has said everything was done ethically and above board. He also said the deal began under previous Mayor Annise Parker’s administration, and he is well within his rights to review proposals that were launched under the former leadership, including EcoHub’s ‘One Bin’ proposal.
“What people kept saying to me is, ‘Mayor. This is a done deal. All you need to do is sign the contract,’” Turner said last week. “I said, ‘Tell me how this is the best interest to the city of Houston.’ I’m not going to sign something that didn’t originate under me, when there are some questions.”
Turner also said he, himself, did not know who scored the bids. In addition, he said, he is an advocate of transparency.
“In my 26 years in public service as a legislator, and you can go and talk to anyone in the legislature,” he said. “No one questions my transparency or fairness.”
Other Government Crime Stoppers rewards
Government Crime Stoppers has also posted rewards for information about conflicts of interest in the Harlandale Independent School District, the Donna Independent School District, and for information about sexual harassment and abuse at the legislature.
“We’re hoping to have some great results so we can have a good clean government, and government officials who do the right thing,” Huckabay said.
Encrypted and fully anonymous tips regarding the illegal actions of office-holders and other public servants will be collected online through the world’s leading tip solution provider, Anderson Software.
“Our goal is not only to assist authorities in prosecuting open indictments but also to expose corruption that might not otherwise be discovered,” said Richard Carter, an advisor to Government Crime Stoppers and the former executive director of Crime Stoppers International, Inc.

BLOWING your own trumpet has often been frowned upon as bragging – especially when it’s done by women.
Now a Bristol woman is on a mission to change that by helping women enter, and win, business awards.
Jackie Novels set up awardsforwomen.com during lockdown after a flurry of women in business asked for her help to write their entry forms for awards.
Jackie, 44, a mother of twins, said: “In previous jobs I was often asked to organise or judge business awards.
“It always made me really cross that loads of entries would come in from men saying how fab they were, but hardly any from women.
“I don’t know whether it’s a societal thing, where little girls are taught more than little boys not to boast.
“Or maybe it’s down to women often carrying more of the load of sorting childcare and running the household alongside their work, meaning they’re just too busy to spend hours researching awards and filling in lengthy entry forms.
“There’s also a misconception that there are panels of judges scouring local businesses to select the ones that deserve an award, which isn’t the case.
“To win awards you have to enter them. I’m on a mission to get women shouting about their success and getting the recognition they deserve.”
Jackie is no stranger to winning awards herself, being named Business Mother of the Year in the NatWest Venus Awards and winning Innovation In Home Business at The Guardian Small Business Showcase Awards.
She has been sharing award entry tips on social media, talking on podcasts and to small business networks about it, as well as offering free half-hour advice slots to any female entrepreneurs who want one.
Women in business can also outsource their award entry writing to Jackie, who uses her skills as a qualified journalist to write their business story into entries that wow the judges.
Female business owners from a diverse range of jobs have been getting in touch, including retail, the music industry, charities, creative industries, tech businesses and training companies.
So far 88 per cent of entries Jackie has written have made it onto the judges’ shortlist, with more than half of those going on to be named the overall winner.
Jackie said: “If I can get 50 women who wouldn’t usually enter themselves for an award to put their name into the hat this year, I’ll consider it a job well done.”

Game 1: 190
Game 2: 214
Game 3: 222
Week Avg: 208
Season Avg: 196
We have started the second half of the season with some success, sitting in third place after the first week. We wanted to continue taking more points than we give away for the rest of the season and hopefully translate that into a playoff berth. I threw two frames of practice this week, barely enough to warm up let alone get a good read on the lanes and thought I might be in for a tough night.
Based on my last frame of practice I moved right a little to start my first game and led off with a turkey. The ball started to hang out on me because I was pushing oil down the lane and after a few spares I chopped a 2-4-5 leave. I found that I had to throw the ball right over the 8 board all the way to my break point to find the pocket, unlike last week where the ball could roll a little further right and still strike. I had another turkey late in the game, but a missed 3-10 split in the tenth frame left me at a 190.
The second game was more consistent, with one split serving as my only open. I spent the first half of the game debating whether or not to make a ball change down to the Python, but instead I moved my body right two boards and my mark right one board around the fifth frame and stuck with my current ball. My hope was that I would have a bigger margin of error and I was right. I started striking more consistently and finished up with a 214.
The third game saw seven strikes and the rest of my frames were corner pin leaves, with the exception of an errant 4-6-10 split. It stayed uneventful, which is good, and I finished the evening with a 222 game. Our team took all available points for the night and should move up in the top two in the standings.
Stay behind the ball. Follow through over my target. Hold my position until the ball crosses my target. Since I started thinking about these three short sentences before each frame I have felt more confident and physically felt like an experienced bowler, which has translated in to higher scores on the lanes. Concentrating on these steps allows me to throw consistently and be better able to make minute adjustments to continue scoring as the lanes change. I like it. I need to keep it up.
Since November 12th I have averaged 204.8 and am now four pins shy of my goal to finish with a 200 average. This is the highest my average has been this late in the season and now is the time to keep the pedal on the floor and continue the climb.
I'm excited! Are you excited? I'm excited!
Sorry, I know there isn't much substance in posts like this, but I can't wait until Monday to get back on the lanes.

OKC Bombing Remembered In Ceremony
KSCB News - April 19, 2013 8:23 am
Oklahoma City bombing survivors and victims’ family members are set to observe the 18th anniversary of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building.
A ceremony is planned Friday near the former site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building for the 168 victims of the terrorist attack. Gov. Mary Fallin and U.S. Rep. James Lankford are scheduled to speak.
Similar to previous years, 168 seconds of silence will be observed at 9:02 a.m., when a truck bomb detonated outside the federal building. The names of those killed will be read by family members and survivors.
Organizers say the ceremony, normally held on the grounds of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, will be inside the nearby First United Methodist Church due to expected poor weather.

With the Ole Miss Football season beginning to gear up for the upcoming COVID 2020 season, the SEC is coming closer to some final decisions regarding what protocols are going to be most effective for the team, as well as fans.
A few days ago, the Rebels entered into phase three of practice protocols due to COVID. If all goes well, the camp will begin on August 7. Ole Miss football is scheduled to play the Baylor Bears in Houston on September 6.
Rebel players now have the chance to practice alongside Lane Kiffin’s staff of coaches. One face to get used to on Kiffin’s staff is DJ Durkin, who will entirely be focused on defense this season. With such an impressive resume having been with several successful college programs, Durkin was a strong pick for Kiffin.

Fans in the Stands
Now, regarding Ole Miss fans, Governor Tate Reeves signed an Executive Order, which can significantly disrupt anyone interested in purchasing or using their tickets for the 2020 season. The order states that the maximum capacity for indoor and outdoor venues cannot be any higher than 25 percent.
For example, the Vaught must comply with social distancing, keep concession stands closed, frequently sanitize public areas, and provide sanitizer for fans throughout. It has not been said who is the top priority of having access to home games. Most likely, ticketholders may have the upper hand over students and visiting fans.
No matter what, the Ole Miss athletic department will be taking a significant loss in money this upcoming season. Even more so, other sports will be hurting as well without its usual funding from the athletic department. For example, Ole Miss already announced that track, volleyball, and soccer would be postponed.
2021 Budget Cuts
Recently, Chancellor Glenn Boyce announced some budget cuts for the 2021 year. He also announced that certain staff working in the athletic department would be taking pay cuts, which will help the university get through the current pandemic we are facing.
According to Nick Suss of the Clarion Ledger,
“Some of the pay cuts will last for a three-month period and others will last for as long as six months.” – Keith Carter, Ole Miss athletic director
Some coaches who may experience a pay cut include Lane Kiffin and some of his on-field staff, Mike Bianco, Kermit Davis, Yolett McPhee-McCuin, and Jamie Trachsel.
Are you Ready?
Due to COVID, teams, and fans all over, whether it be the NHL, NBA, or NCAA, are so uncertain how things will work now that things are no longer normal. Although MLB teams are back playing, it isn’t the same as what it used to be. No fans are screaming and booing, no vendors walking up and down the aisle, players are social distancing from their teammates, and everyone is wearing a mask.
Even with all these new protocols, players and coaches are still risking their health for the sake of the game. Recently, the Miami Marlins’ visited Philadelphia to play a three-game series, and afterward, eleven team members tested positive for COVID.
It does cause some worries for other athletes, such as football players. They have to tackle, hit, and catch the ball, which can cause more spreading of the virus. Ultimately, players’ and coaches’ health is the primary matter over forcing a season.
Regarding Ole Miss and other SEC teams, the concerns are all still there for team members. With the protocols appropriately followed, there is still a chance.

We can all hope for practices and phases provided by the NCAA to go smoothly, and so far, it has. Stay safe during these crazy times, and Hotty Toddy!

Though corporations have not outsourced their data center operations at the pace at which the Internet industry had hoped, an irreversible, if frustratingly slow, process of moving applications off the corporate server has begun.
Two years ago, when ASP was the magic acronym, The Yankee Group predicted the application service provider market would reach $30 billion this year. The big number included Web hosting, Internet data transport, e-commerce hosting and about $2.37 billion in back-office and front-end application hosting.
The idea was that a company seeking to outsource its e-commerce Web site management, e-mail or specialized back-office productivity software would look for a shrink-wrapped package that included both hosting and the infrastructure to support the applications, such as data-center hosting and Internet connectivity.
While attractive as a concept, that incarnation of the ASP business did not fly — if the market capitalization of category leaders like Breakaway Solutions, Corio and USinternetworking are any indication.
Instead, the market has been carved up by numerous specialty players — ASPs concentrating on running third-party applications, Web hosters, Internet service providers and e-commerce platform providers. What is Genuitys Black Rocket e-commerce platform services suite if not an attempt to evolve from ISP and Web hoster into a more effective outsourcer? What, if not the prospect of attracting more outsourced corporate data business, fuels WorldComs data center construction binge? And what, if not slow growth of this business, fuels such specialty plays as Intira?
Part of the challenge that both newcomers and established players encounter is that some corporations tried outsourcing, got burned and are even more wary of the whole idea than before the Internet boom.
“Currently, we have a contract with a carrier to do network management of our routers. It is very painful to wait for their engineers to show up when there is a router problem,” says Ram Prabhu, corporate telecommunications manager at Millipore, a $771 million manufacturer of filters used in the biosciences and microelectronics industries. “We could lose customers over this, so we are canceling the contract and taking over.”
If providers cant manage routers proactively, forget trusting them with a patented database that is the lifeblood of this manufacturer, Millipore execs reasoned. But the old problem — lack of time and specialists — has surfaced again. If Millipore were to manage all these routers itself, it would have to expand its staff and facilities to monitor its corporate network.
This is why even the most pessimistic of the corporate bunch still feel the need for outsourcing. Thankfully, a new set of players is addressing customers like Millipore — management service providers (MSPs).
Launched largely by second-generation dot-commers in late 1999 and early 2000, MSPs first concentrated on offering outsourced management of the Internet infrastructure for large dot-coms. However, when the dot-com bubble burst, many began shifting toward corporate customers and now some boast quite a following. These include Genosys Technology Management in New York City; Inteq, the MSP that ultimately won the Millipore contract; and Totality, formerly known as MimEcom. Others, including Sunnyvale, Calif., NOCpulse, have similar offerings in the pipeline.
Customers like Millipore are not inclined to outsource their mission-critical applications. There is, however, no way around the expense of building a monitoring system.”We could not choose an ASP, but went with somebody like Inteq, which is monitoring our system 24 by 7 by 365, and they page us if something goes wrong right away,” Prabhu says.
Yash Shah, Inteqs co-founder, president and chief technical officer, says that while complete outsourcing is not currently popular with corporations, business for managing more critical applications remotely, including Enterprise Resource Planning and e-mail, is slowly picking up.
“Complete outsourcing is not a popular alternative with many companies because of all the horror stories, but we are able to say: Guys, leave it where it is, and keep the control, ” he says.
Indeed, the main currency in the business — trust — is hard-earned, but goes a long way. Companies that earned this trust long before the Internet hit the business world now draw on this capital to get into the outsourcing game.
Comdisco, a data-backup giant, entered the managed Web hosting space earlier this year, aiming to provide the same level of continuity in various front-end and back-end application hosting services that its customers grew to expect in data recovery, and offering outsourcing even of such services as equipment financing. The new services come with an option to guarantee 100 percent system availability.
Even so, providing some of these functions today does not guarantee recurrent business with corporate clients tomorrow.
“Some of the folks in the high end of the market have the exact opposite strategy — they say their eventual goal is to roll it all back together, to take the e-commerce front ends in,” says Allan Graham, president of Comdiscos Web services.
Large corporations, Graham explains, are not sure how popular the e-commerce parts of their businesses will be, so to lower their exposure to the Net economy, they outsource, with an eye to getting these units back into their own information technology folds should they become mission-critical. But, he says, that may be wishful corporate thinking, not a business reality.
With regard to midsize corporations, Comdisco is getting involved with many supply chain companies that are forced to modernize in order to participate in online business exchanges.
“Those guys tell us, Take the whole thing out, ” Graham says.
What Customers Want
Companies that have been in the Internet outsourcing game for a while, like Intira, see the same dynamic. Intira moved into corporate data center and dot-com outsourcing in late 1998, when the business wasnt even on most other carriers radar screens. Intira even coined its own term for it — Netsourcing.
The company is past the missionary stage and is able to sell services without much evangelizing. “Our contracts average around $1.8 million to $2 million and 32 months,” says John Steensen, chief technology officer. One of Intiras key selling points, he says, is its ability to explain its service-level agreements in plain business language: “We will reimburse you X if your application doesnt work.”
Developing a good outsourcing operation takes time, Steensen says, and includes trying to understand exactly what customers expect. Newcomers are optimistic that once they have a foot in the door with monitoring services, other services will follow.
“We are working with one of the top 10 accounting firms right now that is considering outsourcing one of its core back-office applications with us,” says Irwin Wallach, chief technology officer at Genosys.
Should the outsourcing plan fail, the corporate data center business is surely more stable than the dot-coms.

With the new Play Station 3 you can still play all the old games and you can now watch Blue Ray disks on it as well. The only bad thing about the PS3 is that you cannot watch regular DVDs on it because it cannot read the disks. It is only made to read Blue Ray disks.
You can still get the PS2 if you are not going to like the PS3. I personally like the Xbox 360 way better then PS3. The PS3 is just an expensive toy that doesn't do nearly as much as the Xbox 360 can in my opinion. I have owned both systems over the last few years and I have always liked the Xbox the best but it is still a matter of personal preference.
You might as well get a PSP if you want to play games because with all the DVDS you probably own why would you buy a system that cannot play them? So go get either a regular Play Station 2 or an Xbox 360 and save some money.
You can get all kinds of accessories for your Play Station 2 to make it cool. All you need to do is go online and look for what type of things you like. You can get extra controllers or more games whatever it is that you like. Just go to a site like ours and look around at what they have to offer you never know you might find something that you like and that you want for your game system. I know they have a lot of things for the Xbox so I know they will have quite a few things for the Sony Play Station too.
Some of the games that you can get for children include MLB 07-The Show, Meet The Robinsons, and NBA Street. Adult oriented games include God of War, Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and Medal of Honor.
Some other notable games include Socum U.S. Navy Seals, 300-March to Glory, Prince of Persia, and Rocky Balboa.
The gaming industry is one of the largest and fast growing industries on the planet and companies spend millions of dollars producing some of the most popular games such as Halo 3 for Xbox. You can rest assured that they will continue to do research and development to create better game systems and exciting and fun to play games. The games seem to be more real every year and I envision games in the near future that will be more like an interactive hologram that allows the player to actually seem to be in the game itself. I can't wait for that technology, I may even stand in line for that.

As we close out the school year and begin looking toward the summer, band directors turn their minds toward marching arts.
This year, I’m going through some history and exploring The Evolution of Marching via YouTube. I’m taking you along for the journey as well. Last time we saw how the Garfield Cadets transformed the marching by speeding things up and adding pass-thrus and of course the famous “Z Pull.” If 1983-1987 was about revolutionizing marching style, 1988-1993 was about bucking the traditional musical elements. One of the key innovators in this area was The Star of Indiana, who left DCI following the 1993 season.
1988 – Madison Scouts
1989 – Santa Clara Vanguard
1990 – The Cadets of Bergen County
Video unavailable, though it seems every other corps can be found from 1990. Here’s the 2nd place Cavaliers.

A possible Hot Spot is stirring the pot in Rivesville.
Roger Arnett Jr. has built a place for a possible Hot Spot on property long known as the Fairmont Lumber Yard located along the outskirts of town. Arnett wants the place to feature video-gambling machines, but he must first get a state license to sell alcohol to be permitted to offer gaming.
Therein lies the rub, because the town has an ordinance that prohibits new bars from opening except in locations where they previously existed.
Arnett said he has applied for a license to sell alcohol from the state’s Alcohol Beverage Control Administration, and he has received the necessary and proper building permits from Rivesville City Hall.
“We’ve done everything legally and by the books,” he said.
Tammie Crites opposes plans to locate a Hot Spot near a popular ice cream parlor, Dairy Sensations, which is owned by Arnett.
“This is a bad idea that is not good for the town,” said Crites, a former mayor who was recently elected to town council.

Gasteiger v. GillenwaterAnnotate this Case
417 S.W.2d 568 (1966)
Harry L. GASTEIGER and J.K. Willis, d/b/a Gasteiger-Willis Construction Company v. Iva GILLENWATER. Harry L. GASTEIGER and J.K. Willis, d/b/a Gasteiger-Willis Construction Company v. Harold GILLENWATER.
Court of Appeals of Tennessee, Eastern Section.
December 19, 1966.
Certiorari Denied May 15, 1967.
*570 Hunter, Smith, Davis, Norris & Waddey, Ben C. Davis and Edwin L. Treadway, Kingsport, for plaintiffs-in-error Harry L. Gasteiger and J.K. Willis, d/b/a Gasteiger-Willis Const. Co.
J. Kenneth Wright and William H. Cate, Kingsport, for defendants-in-error Iva Gillenwater and Harold Gillenwater.
Certiorari Denied by Supreme Court May 15, 1967.OPINION
Iva Gillenwater sued, in tort, to recover damages for personal injuries sustained when the basement stairs of the house purchased from the defendants, Harry L. Gasteiger and J.K. Willis, d/b/a Gasteiger-Willis Construction Company, collapsed. Her husband, Harold Gillenwater, filed a companion suit seeking to recover damages for the loss of his wife's services in the home and to recover expenses incurred in providing medical care for his wife.
On trial, the jury returned verdicts in favor of the plaintiffs, awarding Iva Gillenwater, $5000.00, and her husband, $2500.00. The trial judge suggested a remittitur of $500.00 in the verdict awarded Iva Gillenwater and, when it was accepted, overruled the defendants' motions for a new trial. This appeal resulted.
On appeal, the defendants direct their assignments of error (1) to the trial judge's action in overruling defendants' motions for a directed verdict, contending that there is no material evidence to support the verdicts, (2) to remarks of the court during the course of the trial, (3) to the admission of photographs in evidence, and (4) to the court's charge, particularly to the failure of the court to give requested special instructions. There is no assignment directed to the amount of the judgments awarded the plaintiffs.
In reviewing a case on appeal, where the appeal is from a judgment based on a jury's verdict, this court is limited to a determination of whether there is any material evidence to support the verdict, and "it [our review] must be governed by the rule safeguarding the constitutional right of trial by jury, which requires us to take the strongest legitimate view of all the evidence to uphold the verdict, to assume the truth of all that tends to support it, to discard all to the contrary, and to allow all reasonable inferences to sustain the verdict." D.M. Rose & Co. v. Snyder, 185 Tenn. 499, 206 S.W.2d 897. And if there is material evidence to support the verdict, it must be affirmed. City of Chattanooga v. Ballew, 49 Tenn. App. 310, 354 S.W.2d 806.
When so reviewed, we find that the defendants constructed a house in the Midfield Subdivision in the City of Kingsport and sold it to the plaintiffs in the latter part of May or the early part of June, 1965. As constructed, the house had a full basement with a stairway leading from the basement to the kitchen.
The stairs were used without incident by the plaintiffs and other members of the plaintiffs' family until July 22, 1965, when the stairway fell under the weight of Mrs. Gillenwater, her two small children and a young nephew.
After the collapse of the stairs, Mr. Gillenwater made an inspection and found that the only material support at the top of the *571 stairs was a small piece of wood on which the top of the stairs rested. The exact dimensions of the wood, weight-bearing support are not shown in the record, but the record does contain a picture of the support and there is testimony that it did not meet the minimum requirements of the building code nor did it meet the standards of the construction industry.
There is also evidence that "the support was insufficient to handle and carry the ordinary everyday usage of stairs of this particular rise," and that had the minimum building requirements been met, the stairs would not have collapsed under normal usage such as made by the plaintiffs during the five weeks they had occupied their newly purchased home.
As a general rule, "a vendor of land is not subject to liability for physical harm caused to his vendee or others while upon the land after the vendee has taken possession by any dangerous condition, whether natural or artificial, which existed at the time that the vendee took possession." Restatement of Torts, Second, Sec. 352, p. 234; Smith v. Tucker, 151 Tenn. 347, 270 S.W. 66, 41 A.L.R. 830; Belote v. Memphis Development Company, 208 Tenn. 434, 346 S.W.2d 441. But, where the vendor knows of a dangerous condition upon the land and knows or should realize that the vendee has no knowledge of the condition and probably would not discover it or its potentiality for harm, the vendor owes the affirmative duty to disclose the condition and to warn the vendee of its danger, and if he fails to do so, he becomes subject to liability to the vendee and others upon the land with the consent of the vendee for any physical harm caused by the condition after the vendee has taken possession of the land. Belote v. Memphis Development Company, 208 Tenn. 434, 346 S.W.2d 441, citing Section 353 of the Restatement of Torts, Kilmer v. White, 254 N.Y. 64, 171 N.E. 908, 909, 910, and Palmore v. Morris, 182 Pa. 82, 37 A. 995, 999, 61 Am.St.Rep. 693. Cf. Restatement of Torts, Sec. 353, p. 235 where the exception voiced in the Belote case and in the earlier Restatement is broadened so as to impose the duty to disclose a dangerous condition upon those vendors who have "reason to know of it."
Knowledge of the existence of the dangerous condition by a vendor will be presumed where the building or dwelling sold was built by the vendors' workmen. Belote v. Memphis Development Company, supra.
In the light of the foregoing authorities and after considering the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff as we are required to do, we are of the opinion that a jury reasonably could find that at the time of sale the defendants had actual knowledge of the dangerous condition created by the "shoddy" or sub-par construction of the basement stairs; that due to the nature of the defect, the defendants knew or should have realized that the plaintiffs had no knowledge of the condition and probably would not discover it or its potentiality for harm; that, as a consequence, the defendants were under a duty to disclose the construction defect to the plaintiffs and their failure to do so subjected them to liability for the injuries and damages suffered by the plaintiffs as the result of the collapse of the stairs.
The defendants also take issue with the action of the trial judge in admitting in evidence a photograph (exhibit 1) showing two pieces of wood leaning against a concrete wall, and a photograph (exhibit 2) showing the stairway after it had been repaired.
Exhibit 1 purports to show the wood supports of the basement stairs. One piece of wood was found under the head of the collapsed stairs and, according to the evidence, was the major support on which the top of the stairs rested. The other piece of wood was identified and described as the vertical brace running from the top of the stairs to the concrete floor. Being the support of the basement stairs, the *572 pieces of wood were pertinent to material issues to be decided by the jury and a photograph of them, properly identified, would be admissible in evidence. We think they were properly identified.
As to exhibit 2, this court pointed out in Management Services, Inc. v. Hellman, 40 Tenn. App. 127, 289 S.W.2d 711, 718, that "`[t]he fact that there have been changes in conditions, including even substantial changes, will not necessarily exclude a photograph where the changes can be and are explained, so that the photograph, as explained, will give a correct understanding of the condition existing at the time to which the controversy relates, and be practically instructive.' 32 C.J.S. Evidence, § 715, [p. 1012]. The fact that a photograph is incorrect in some particulars does not render it inadmissible as evidence, but merely affects its weight. Hughes v. State, 126 Tenn. 40, 148 S.W. 543."
The record shows that the jury was informed that exhibit 2 was a picture of the stairs, as repaired, and was instructed that the photograph was admitted for the sole purpose of helping them "determine the heighth of the stairway, or its relationship to the basement, the kitchen as the witnesses have thus testified, or have heretofore testified. That's the only purpose that you receive it. You will not give any consideration as to the condition of the stairway as it exists or appears to exist in this picture or that it might have been before. * * *"
We think exhibit 2, with the limitations placed upon it by the trial judge, was properly admitted. Certainly, no prejudice could result to the defendants through its admission. See T.C.A. § 27-113.
In assignment 4, the defendants charge that the trial judge erred in instructing the jury, while ruling on an objection by the defendants, that:
"* * * [A]s to the repair of the steps or remounting the steps, or whatever you want to call it, that was done after the steps went down, you will not consider that as negligence in their original construction unless you find that what was done after was necessary according to the standard and required minimums as testified to by two experts including Mr. Gasteiger. He testified as to the minimum. So, unless whatever was done was required to be within the minimum standards as has been put to you, you will not consider for any purpose."
We find no material error in the statement of the trial judge when it is considered in context with prior questions and answers, and cannot agree, as urged by the defendants, that the statement had the effect of misleading the jury as to the duty owed plaintiffs by the defendants in view of the complete and accurate instructions given the jury in charge.
The two remaining assignments of error are directed to the trial judge's charge the defendants insisting that the trial judge erred in refusing to give requested special instructions and thus "deprived defendants of the benefit of a full, accurate and comprehensive charge of the law applicable to the issues raised by the pleadings and the proof in the cases." We find no merit in this insistence for, as heretofore stated, we are of the opinion that the charge of the court, without the requested instructions, is complete and accurate.
Judgments are affirmed. Costs of the appeal are adjudged against the defendants and their sureties.
McAMIS, P.J., and PARROTT, J., concur.

The Income Tax Act (“ITA”) provides various tax advantages to corporations that qualify as Canadian-Controlled Private Corporations (“CCPC”).
Subsection 125(7) of the ITA provides that a corporation will be a CCPC if it is not controlled by public corporations or non-residents. The case law reveals two types of control: (1) de jure control (control in law); and (2) de facto control (control in fact). De jure control is the right of control that is based on the ownership of the majority voting shares in the election of the Board of Directors. In addition, the de jure control analysis must take into account paragraph 125(7)(b) which provides that all non-resident and publicly owned voting shares are deemed to be owned by a single person (the “Hypothetical Shareholder”). If the Hypothetical Shareholder owns more than 50% of a corporation’s voting shares, it is not a CCPC.
CCPC tax advantages include the ability to receive enhanced scientific research and experimental development (“SR&ED”) input tax credits. CCPCs are eligible to receive refundable tax credits equal to 35% of their SR&ED expenditures. If the CCPC’s tax credit exceeds its tax payable for the year, the CCPC will receive a refund. Unfortunately, non-CCPCs are not entitled to these enhanced SR&ED input tax credits. Instead, these corporations are eligible to receive a tax credit equal to 15% of their SR&ED expenditures. Moreover, these tax credits are not refundable and, therefore, if the tax credit exceeds the tax payable for the year, the tax credit is wasted.
In the past, the CRA’s de jure control analysis held that the existence of a unanimous shareholders’ agreement (“USA”) does not impact the Hypothetical Shareholder on the basis that the Hypothetical Shareholder is not a party to the USA. However, Federal Court of Appeal (“FCA”) decision in The Queen v. Bioartificial Gel Technologies (Bagtech) Inc. (2013 FCA 164) presents an opportunity for corporations to qualify as CCPCs notwithstanding that public corporations or non-residents own more than 50% of voting shares.
In Bagtech, non-residents owned more than 60% of Bagtech’s voting shares. However, Bagtech’s shareholders had executed an USA that, among other things, gave Bagtech’s Canadian shareholders the power to elect the majority of Bagtech’s directors. In the Tax Court of Canada, Bagtech successfully argued that the Canadian shareholders’ right to elect the majority of directors had the effect of giving the Canadian shareholders de jurecontrol. The FCA dismissed the government’s appeal, thereby confirming that the CRA must consider the rights and restrictions under an USA when determining a corporation’s CCPC status.
It is important to note that, in Bagtech, the Canadian shareholders’ right to elect the majority of Bagtech’s directors – and the corresponding limitation on the voting shares held by non-residents – was in the USA. If the right to elect the majority of Bagtech’s directors had been part of some other agreement or document, the FCA, citing the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Duha Printers (Western) Ltd. v. Canada ( 1 SCR 795), would have decided Bagtech in the government’s favour on the basis that only constating documents have the power to limit shareholders’ ability to elect directors.
Bagtech provides that – if shareholders implement a valid USA as defined in the Business Corporations Act of its jurisdiction and if the USA appropriately restricts shareholders’ voting rights – a corporation can qualify as a CCPC. However, a corporation that adopts this approach must continue to ensure that a non-resident or public corporation, either alone or with related non-residents or public corporations, does not exercise de facto control. For example, de facto control would include circumstances where a CCPC is financially dependent, significantly indebted, or reliant on the unique expertise of a non-resident or public corporation.
The FCA’s decision in Bagtech confirms that the CRA’s practice of ignoring USA in its de jure control analysis is wrong in law and provides an opportunity for corporations to achieve CCPC status and receive – among other things – enhanced SR&ED input tax credits.

EA has announced the release date for Dead Space Extraction with new details and trailer.
EA and it's Visceral Games studio will release the Nintendo Wii's Dead Space Extraction on October 2nd in Europe and September 29th in the US.

NORWALK - The Connecticut delegation to Congress announced plans to call for the immediate regulation of e-cigarettes.
Though they have been advertised as a way to quit smoking, the FDA says that the devices are increasingly being marketed toward children.
“These promotions to children are dangerous. The president should stop them,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal. “I'm asking him to issue restrictions on the marketing of these products to kids who think they're harmless.”
E-cigarettes serve as a nicotine delivery device, which vaporizes liquid containing the drug. They have become popular by offering smokers an experience that does not involve tar or additives found in cigarettes. Critics say the nicotine levels in e-cigarettes are enough to get younger smokers to buy the real thing.
State lawmakers say that regardless of whether e-cigarettes are helpful or harmful, they need to be regulated. Sen. Blumenthal says he will join Sen. Chris Murphy and Rep. Rosa DeLauro Monday in calling for the immediate federal regulation of e-cigarettes.
