After watching him cover the youth beat for the 2008 election, few would have initially expected Luke Russert, son of the great late Tim Russert, to end up broadcasting on Election Day from the Indiana Memorial Union.
It was certainly a welcome respite given that, for far too long, most of the media attention received by the University was focused on the NCAA violations of Kelvin Sampson.
Coming here certainly seemed like a good call for Russert. The presidential race in Indiana was decided by some 26,000 votes – a number smaller than the enrollment at IU. Given the drastic turnout on this campus, we might very well have been a deciding factor in which way Indiana’s 11 electoral votes swung.
This year has certainly been an exciting year for IU students to make and witness history. We were visited by everyone from Feist to Bill Clinton. John Edwards broke his media silence in the IU Auditorium. The president-elect himself, Barack Obama, dropped in on the Little 500 women’s race and greeted patrons of Nick’s English Hut.
Not everything that happened this year was particularly good. The IU Student Association had an election that ended in the disqualification of the party that was initially declared the winner. During the summer much of this campus was consumed by flood water. The recent economic recessions darkened the dreams of many Kelley students and made the victory lap that much more tempting.
Did we mention sports? No, we probably don’t need to go there.
This year we got to take part in the only Indiana presidential primary that might ever mean anything, we hosted a gubernatorial debate and got to help choose the next leader of the free world. Could next year possibly be as exciting?
Probably not, but we will have to wait and see. Who would have thought 2008 would feature Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton sparring in Bloomington or that Indiana would go for a Democratic candidate for the first time in 40 years?
Maybe 2009 will be the year University officials finally come up with a decent name for the Ora. L Wildermuth Intramural Center (hint: the new name should not include the word “Wildermuth”).
Maybe it will be the year we actually get a decent fall break.
Or maybe, just maybe, it will be the year Ugg boots and spandex finally go out of fashion.

Originally specified for shepherds, the sheepskin boots of Uggs was crafted to respond the want for strong footwear in the countrys farming areas. The popularity of the footwear escalated more when it was identified by pilots and then by surfers. And now they are being worn by male and female celebrities and models as well.
The Ugg boots have unquestionably arrived a long way. Starting from the shepherds of the country, the boots were boosted to popularity when they were employed by war pilots in World War II. These pilots were looking for footwear that could supply them warmth and ease during their high-altitude flights, and they ascertained it in the UGG boots.

You will not only benefit from the fashion and comfort that these boots can contribute you, you will besides be found as someone who is wearing footwear worn by famous people.

Ugg boots come in so many styles and colors, it's hard to keep track of them all. Men's Uggs come in more basic, classic colors and styles, but for women, it's "anything goes" in terms of colors and styles. After all, women need a pair of shoes for every outfit, and, with Ugg Boots, you can almost do that.
Get some Uggs in ankle-high, mid-calf, and tall versions. You can find Uggs that have flat heels or more chunky and textured soles. Generally, Ugg boots are considered to be a casual footwear, meaning they go great with your favorite jeans. Pair them with a short skirt and opaque tights or a long skirt for some comfortable yet stylish wardrobe choices.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, Ugg boots work. Being exceptionally warm, your feet stay cozy in the cold weather. Because they are made from natural sheepskin materials, the fibers breath and your feet won't get sweaty or smelly in the warm weather, either. Just about the only time you can't wear Ugg Boots is during particularly wet or muddy weather, the suede doesn't hold up as well to those conditions. Guys can look just a little more rugged wearing Ugg Boots, there's always something attractive about that look!

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 43.1 million Americans (one in six people) have foot problems. Women are nine times more at risk than men because females are more likely to wear tight or poorly-fitted shoes.
During an average day of walking, the feet bear the equivalent weight of several tons. When combined with poorly-fitting shoes, those forces can lead to a number of painful conditions. Two common foot problems associated with shoe fit are bunions and hammertoes.
A bunion is an enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe (the metatarsophalangeal joint). It occurs when the big toe is misaligned, with the tip angling inward toward the other toes. This pushes the base of the joint outward. The skin over the protruding joint can become red, swollen and painful. The joint can become stiff and swollen, causing pain while wearing shoes or walking.
Hammertoe is a condition in which one or more of the toes is bent upward at the middle joint, causing the affected toe(s) to look like a hammer. A callus can also develop on top of the toe. It most commonly affects the second toe. Initially, the joint is still moveable and can be straightened. But if the condition isn’t treated, the joint can become stiff and rigid.
The Need for Support
Philadelphia Podiatrist Edward Chairman, D.P.M., says adult feet need support to bear the weight of standing and walking. Shoes without support increase the risk for foot problems, like bunions and hammertoes.
One popular line of footwear is UGG®. Chairman says some women are wearing UGG boots because they are soft, comfortable and wide enough to relieve pressure on the toes. So, even patients with bunions and hammertoes find them to be more comfortable than some shoes and boots. However, over time, women tend to develop more pain and discomfort. Chairman says that’s because boots like the UGGs have no support. The extra pressure on the feet eventually causes alignment problems in the toes to worsen. Although bunions and hammertoes are typically more common in middle-aged and older women, Chairman is seeing the early signs of the problems in teenagers who “live” in their UGGs.
Chairman recommends that women who want to use footwear that doesn’t have adequate support get custom-made orthotics, or shoe inserts. The orthotics are designed to minimize force on the feet and improve foot function. For UGGs and similar boots, he recommends sports orthotics, which are a little bulkier and longer than orthotics designed for dress shoes.cheap ugg boots

Uggs Australia sheepskin is naturally thermostatic & therefore will keep bare feet warm in temperatures as low as -30°F and cool in temperatures as high as 80°F (Sheepskin will naturally insulate by keeping feet warm in the winter & cool in the summer).
The sheep that we use have finer wool & cleaner skin
Although made famous by its boots, UGG Australia has extended their product line to include stylish yet elegant clothing for both adults and kids. Uggs Australia has designed a vast collection of gloves, scarves, hats, and UGG coats that will wrap you in warmth against the cold winter months. When the weather heats up and warm breezes blow, you can now enjoy cute dresses, wraps and lightweight hats.
Now you can accessorize your favorite outfit with not only Ugg boots but a fabulous bag too. You can travel with a tote, shop with a cross-body messenger or paint the town red with a chic clutch or wristlet. All UGGs handbags are crafted with the same attention to detail that has made them the premier brand they are today.
What started off as a way to keep surfers’ feet warm has grown to include: Ugg Boots, Slippers, Kids, Clothing, Bags and Accessories
UGG Australia uses only the best quality sheepskin exclusively. Twin-faced sheepskin is used in many of our core products. A piece of twin-faced sheepskin has been treated on both the fleece side, and the skin side.
The wool of genuine sheepskin is extremely dense (more-so than any synthetic), which provides for a more comfortable and durable material.
Fleece breathes, wicks moisture away, and allows air to circulate, keeping feet dry.
Sheepskin is naturally water resistant & therefore small amounts of moisture will not seep through or damage it.

Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas froze on the set of period comedy EASY VIRTUE - because the wintery conditions in rural England left them cold for days on end. Director Stephan Elliott had to shoot the film in England's coldest months - because it was the only time he could get his cast together.
And the big freeze presented a host of problems for him, the crew and the actors. Firth tells WENN, "It was a miserable time of year. January in England, you have to be really lucky for it not to be unpleasant. We had some gorgeous winter sunshine on one or two days, but apart from that it's cold and muddy and depressing. I've now seen my fill of British stately homes with cold and drafty corridors."
And his movie wife Scott Thomas was so cold throughout filming, she refused to take off her Ugg boots. Elliott explains, "I had to cut everyone off at the feet because they were all wearing Uggs and other things to keep them warm. Kristin point blank refused to take her Ugg boots off. It must have been awful for (actress) Jessica (Biel), who is used to the California sun, but she was a trooper. I stayed at one of the stately homes we used in the film for a couple of nights and it was so bloody cold, it wasn't worth getting up to go to the toilet in the night because the loo was so far away and it was freezing. I swear that when we were filming in Nottingham the temperature dropped to minus 17."
