A 5-year-old boy must attend a juvenile fire setters intervention course after igniting his home.
Officials said the child found a lighter in a bedroom on Bacon Circle in Palm Bay Monday and began lighting small things on fire.
The mattress then went up in flames causing $5,000 in damage to the home, according to investigators.
"The smoke detector alerted the mother who was in the living room at the time of the fire," said Assistant Fire Marshal Ron Bailey. "Fortunately they were all able to safely evacuate the home and no one was injured."
The boy's 3-year-old sister was also in the room when he found the lighter.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Sierra Nevada Mountains provide a majestic backdrop to one of the "Coolest Hardware Stores" in the country. Ace Hardware Corporation has acknowledged more than the view, however, and bestowed the recognition on Ace Mountain Hardware and Sports and only five other stores nationwide for their unique offerings and special service.
This is the second year Ace has singled out individual retailers for their "cool" factor from among the 4,600 locally owned and operated Ace Hardware stores worldwide.
Employee-owned Ace Mountain Hardware and Sports, which opened its doors in 1977, has successfully combined multiple retail concepts under one roof for an experience that's as enticing as the landscape outside.
"We try to offer something for everybody," said Doug Wright, general manager of Ace Mountain Hardware and Sports. "We really are a general store, with a traditional hardware store alongside with clothing, fishing and camping gear, decor, and so much more.
"Our employees have the autonomy to bring in what customers ask for," he continued. "This has played a role in our success and contributed to our satisfaction levels across the board."
"One of the best attributes about Ace Hardware and one of our biggest competitive advantages is the uniqueness of our stores," said Kane Calamari, vice president of retail operations and new business at Ace Hardware Corporation. "Ace Mountain Hardware and Sports is everything but a cookie cutter store, and it's most deserving of this recognition."
Local award recipients were invited to take part in a retail symposium for Ace's annual Platinum Conference, which brings together Ace's top-performing retailers from around the country. During the conference, Ace Mountain Hardware and Sports was honored with a trophy identifying the location as a "Coolest Hardware Store."
Across the board, Ace Hardware stores are known for their excellent customer satisfaction and helpfulness. In 2012 the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 U.S. Home Improvement Retailer Store Satisfaction Study ranked Ace Hardware "Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Home Improvement Retail Stores, Six Years in a Row."

ASUS turned more than a few heads with its original
Eee PC 401. The $399 device came out of nowhere and stole the hearts of
many computer enthusiasts (and non-enthusiasts). Over time, ASUS released models
that slotted under
and above
the original 4G model and added more colorful options.
Earlier this month, details began
to leak on the Eee PC 900. The Eee PC 900 features an 8.9", 1024x600
display (up from a 7", 800x480 display) along with more SSD storage space
(8GB for Windows XP, 12GB for Xandros Linux).
It was later revealed that the slightly
larger Eee PC 900 will support HDDs in the future along with Intel's Diamondville-based Intel Atom processor for increased
battery life and performance in comparison to the existing Celeron-M. "In
the near future, we also are trying to support one-day computing which would
provide more than 8 hours. I think in May we might be closer to providing
that," said ASUS CEO Jerry Shen.
Other options that will come to the Eee PC lineup in the
future include WiMAX and HSDPA.
Today, however, we were all greeted with a wealth of new
information (and pictures) on the new Eee PC 900. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) website is abuzz with a new entry detailing ASUS' latest and
greatest. The FCC entry provides numerous pictures of the Eee PC 900 from the
inside and the outside along with the device's user manual.
Perusing through the pictures
and manuals, we learn that despite what ASUS' CEO previously mentioned, the
power adapter used for the new Eee PC 900 is much larger than the original Eee
PC 401. While not a deal-breaker for many people, it's something to take note
of for travel purposes.
The internal photos also show that the Eee PC now has
Bluetooth. This is a welcome addition for mobile warriors that use Bluetooth
mice and don't want to carry around an addition Bluetooth dongle or RF dongle
for traditional wireless mice.
Also new to the Eee PC 900 is what it calls "Multi-finger
gesture input". This allows users to perform iPhone/iPod touch-esque
gestures such as "pinching" to zoom in and out in applications.
If pricing holds firm at the previously reported $500 for
the Eee PC 900, this could make quite a popular entry with consumers. Throw in
the rumored touch screen and GPS and things could get really interesting.
Now if only ASUS could deliver on the original
$199 promise...
quote: At first glance the CloudBook is an impressive design with some innovative features and some reasonably impressive specs for the $400 price tag. However, upon closer examination it's clear that VIA and Everex had to make a number of sacrifices to bring this ultra-mobile notebook to the market for such a low price.The low-capacity slow hard drive, and slow overall performance make the CloudBook a less than compelling purchase compared to the current generation Asus Eee PC 4G ... despite the much smaller storage space. The fact that the CloudBook cannot support the correct resolutions for widescreen external monitors is another problem for anyone who wants to connect this laptop to a larger screen. The issue of excessive heat build up inside the CloudBook is perhaps the most obvious "deal killer." Who wants to own a laptop that you can only use for 30-45 minutes when connected to the internet before you have to turn it off and let it cool down?I do have to say the high-resolution scaling on the tiny screen and 30GB of storage space are very nice features, but these benefits pale in comparison to the other problems and limitations the CloudBook brings to the table. In short, I have a hard time recommending the current generation of the Everex CloudBook for any consumer. Given the strength of the Asus Eee PC and upcoming budget subnotebooks from other manufacturers, there simply isn't a compelling reason to purchase the CloudBook.

The Impact of the European Company (SE) on Legal Culture
Mathias M. Siems
Durham University - Durham Law School; University of Cambridge - Centre for Business Research
European Law Review, Vol. 30, pp. 431-442, 2005
After 30 years of debate, the law on the European Company (Societas Europaea, SE) has now come into force. Yet, its success could be doubted, because the Regulation and the Directive on the SE provide only some basic provisions and refer frequently to the law of the Member States. In this article, I will, however, propose that the SE can cause a major shift towards a European spirit in company law. By fostering communication, competition and coalition, it will indeed have a substantial impact on European legal culture.

Introduction to Environmental Studies
Interdisciplinary exploration of the fundamental principles of Environmental Studies. Students will consider influential approaches to understanding nature, and investigate local environmental issues. This course draws on ideas from the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities.
Special Topics in Environmental Studies
A changing topics course that addresses specific issues, ideas, practices, and solutions for Environmental Studies. Possible topics are activism, computer modeling, meteorology, adventure sports, endangered species, etc.
Directed Studies
A tutorial-based course used only for student-initiated proposals for intensive study of topics not otherwise offered in the Environmental Studies Program. Hours are arranged. Prerequisite: consent of instructor and school dean.
Senior Seminar
A capstone course for Environmental Studies majors ordinarily taken during one of the last two semesters of undergraduate study. The Senior Seminar will take different shapes for students from the different concentrations, and will give students the chance to develop their ability to grapple with complex environmental issues and conduct advanced research in preparation for graduate school or careers.
Students receive credit for meeting pre-arranged learning objectives while working for a business, a non-profit, a government program or some other organization that engages the environment. Hands-on experience is especially important to Environmental Studies students, and the faculty will work to support internship opportunities for all students. Students must have junior or senior standing (for transfer students, at least 15 hours completed at Westminster or permission of instructor), minimum 2.5 GPA, completion of the Career Resource Center Workshop, and consent of Program Chair and Career Center Internship Coordinator.

Ant Baits are the only effective control method for control and elimination of the Pharaoh ants. Residual treatments generally should not be used in Pharaoh ant control because they result in colony budding, contaminate bait stations and kills only the foraging ants.
Colonies of the Pharaoh Ants average 3,000-4,000 ants with several queens. Pavement ants normally nest in soil; however, they occasionally nest indoors in walls, insulation and under floors. Colonies will move near a heat source in winter.

This is an excerpt from my new book, Organizational Psychology for Managers.
My first jujitsu sensei would constantly yell at us to not reach for the ground when being thrown. His point was that if someone is throwing you and you yield to your natural reactions, you will try to catch yourself with an arm or a leg. In jujitsu, this is good way to end up with a broken arm or leg. What makes learning to fall difficult is that our tendency is reach out is so natural, so deeply ingrained, that we do it without thinking. Students sometimes don�t believe they are doing it until they see themselves on video. Reaching out like that is a very simple, reflexive way of protecting our heads when we fall: it�s better to break your arm than your head. For very young children, it�s great since it takes no training, their bodies are light, and bones are still flexible. However, for adults, it�s not so pleasant and is a serious problem in a great many situations where an untrained reaction is not appropriate or safe: knowing how to fall is why I didn�t get badly hurt the time a car ran a stop sign and helped me dive over the handlebars of my bicycle.
By the same token, we have cognitive shortcuts or biases that are decent default behaviors in many situations, but are of limited value to us in the workplace or other modern organizational settings. Like reaching for the ground, they are simple and easy to use: we are built to use as little energy as possible whenever possible. Particularly when we are tired or distracted, we tend to fall back on these cognitive shortcuts. However, like that untrained jujitsu student�s reflexive reaching for the ground, they are just setting us up for organizational injury. Just as the jujitsu student is being thrown with too much force to reach without serious injury, organizational issues are almost always too complex for us to get away with cheap answers.
Fundamental Attribution Error
�There�s a guy in your office named Joe. Joe�s not getting his work done, he�s missing deadlines. How come?�
I will often pose this question when I conduct management training or when I speak on leadership. It�s always interesting how people answer. Most of the time, people tell me what�s wrong with Joe: he�s not dedicated, he�s goofing off, he doesn�t care, he�s incompetent. Eventually, someone will say, �Wait a minute. You didn�t give us any information about Joe.� Sometimes this takes ten minutes! It might take longer, but I always stop it by then.
What�s happening here is that we automatically attribute problems or poor performance to the person, not to situational factors. This makes sense when we are all experiencing the same environment and doing essentially identical tasks: for example, people living in a small community or working on an assembly line. If most factors are identical, one person�s poor performance is probably due to the person. This can cause trouble in our modern society: When our dinner date doesn�t show up, we assume it means she doesn�t actually want to spend time with us rather than assuming her car broke down or she was caught in traffic. Did that client not return my call because he didn�t want to talk with me, or was it because his office is in Manhattan and he lost power after Hurricane Sandy? In the actual, real-life situation from which I drew the story of Joe, the reason Joe was missing deadlines was that the vendor who was supposed to provide the material he needed was always late and Joe didn�t have the option of changing vendors.
We will often apply the fundamental attribution error to ourselves retrospectively: how could I have ever made such a stupid decision? We forget that the decision may have made complete sense with the information we had available at the time or that other situational factors might have contributed.
When we know someone well, however, the fundamental attribution error will often reverse itself: I know Bob. Bob is a hard worker. Something must be wrong. If you�ve arranged to meet your wife at a restaurant after work and she doesn�t arrive in time, odds are you�ll start worrying that she might have been in a car accident or something, rather than assuming she doesn�t want to spend time with you.
One of the biggest problems stemming from the fundamental attribution error is that it can trap us into playing the blame game instead of understanding why a system isn�t working. We�ll look at that in more depth shortly.

SDKs for Java, Ruby, Python, Node.js, PHP, and Microsoft.NET
You can download the language-specific software development kits (SDKs) for Cloud Files from the Rackspace Developer website. This site includes links to the SDKs for the following languages:
- Java
- Microsoft .NET
- Node.js
- Python
- Ruby
In addition to links to the SDKs, this site provides links to reference materials, sample code, and tips on how to use each SDK.
Using Git
Some of the SDK instructions use the Git version control system. The documentation for each SDK assumes that you have Git installed and configured on your local machine. For more information about Git, see the Git website for UNIX or Linux or for Windows.
Downloading an SDK
To download an SDK, follow the instructions on the SDK's web page. In general, you run a git clone command with the URL of the repository that you want to get as an argument. Because the clone operation downloads the files to your current directory, you should create an empty directory to hold the files before performing the download.

Trident Health has announced plans for the expansion of the Trident Cancer Center.
A preliminary design calls for an extensive renovation to the current facility, located at Trident Medical Center, and an expansion of more than 3,500 square feet. The total project cost is estimated to be $6.1 million, and construction is set to begin later this fall.
The most significant upgrade will be the addition of the Charleston area's first Trubeam Linear Accelerator, a product of Varian Medical Systems. This state-of-the-art radiotherapy technology aims to destroy cancer with treatments that last just a few minutes a day.
Although traditional radiation therapy machines offer great quality treatment, TrueBeam technology decreases treatment times to almost half with a more effective and precise treatment delivery method.
"Having all of this new technology available in one area will provide easy access to advanced cancer treatment services for our patients," said Trident Cancer Center Director Ryan Clements.
The project will also include upgrades to treatment planning software and additional aesthetic improvements.
"We had a vision to provide the very best cancer fighting technology close by for our community. We are pleased to make that vision a reality," Trident Medical Center Chief Operating Officer Terence van Arkel said.
Trident Health is an HCA hospital system comprised of two acute care hospitals – Trident Medical Center and Summerville Medical Center – as well as Moncks Corner Medical Center. For more information about Trident Health, please visit www.tridenthealthsystem.com or call (843) 797-7000.

[2712] Dexamethasone Dose Adjustments Seem To Result in Better Efficacy and Improved Tolerability in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Who Are Treated with Lenalidomide/Dexamethasone (MM009/010 Sub-Analysis). Session Type: Poster Session, Board #902-II
Jesus F. San Miguel, Meletios Dimopoulos, Donna Weber, Marta Olesnyckyj, Zhinuan Yu, Jerome Zeldis, Robert Knight, Vincent Rajkumar Hospital Universitario de Salamanca, Salamanca, Spain; University of Athens School of Medicine, Athens, Greece; MD Anderson Cancer Centre, Houston, TX, USA; Celgene Corporation, Summit, NJ, USA; Mayo Clinic Cancer Centre, Rochester, MN, USA
Background: The use of low-dose dexamethasone (Dex) in combination with lenalidomide (Len), an immunomodulatory compound, improves overall survival (OS) compared with high-dose Dex plus Len in patients (pts) with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) (Rajkumar et al. 2007). Two phase III randomised trials of pts with relapsed/refractory MM showed that Len/Dex had significantly better overall response (OR), complete response (CR), OS and time to progression (TTP) than Dex alone. Dex dose reductions were permitted in relation to severity of adverse events (AEs). We investigated the effect of Dex dose reductions on efficacy and tolerability of Len/Dex in relapsed/refractory MM.
Methods: Data were pooled from the MM-009/010 studies for pts treated in the Len/Dex group who had an unchanged Len dose (n=233). Pts were treated with Len (25mg/day on day 1-21 of each 28-day cycle) and Dex 40mg on day 1-4, 9-12, and 17-20 (for the first four cycles). After four cycles, Dex 40mg/day was administered only on day 1-4. Dex dose reductions were: 40mg day 1-4 every 2 weeks (level -1), 40mg day 1-4 every 4 weeks (level -2), and 20mg day 1-4 every 4 weeks (level -3). Response to therapy, TTP, OS, and progression-free survival (PFS), as well as AEs were assessed. Response rate and TTP were based on data obtained before unblinding (June/August 2005 [MM-009/010].
Results: Of 233 pts in this post-hoc analysis, 177 pts were treated with Dex 40 mg/day throughout the study and 46 received Dex dose reductions. Forty-one pts received a dose reduction due to AEs. Baseline characteristics were balanced between treatment groups. Pts who received Dex dose reductions had a significantly higher OR rate, including a higher CR, compared with those who received standard Dex dose (Table). Pts in the Dex reductions group had significantly longer median TTP, median OS, and median PFS, compared with those who received Dex at the assigned dose. At the end of the study, rates of serious AEs, grade 3-4 AEs, treatment-related AEs and withdrawals because of AEs were comparable between pts who received Dex dose reductions and those who received an unchanged Dex dose. Although most Dex dose reductions were made for an AE, by reducing the dose pts were able to maintain a similar safety profile to those who did not require dose reductions. Grade 3-4 haematological AEs in pts who received Dex dose reductions and those who did not were neutropenia (23.7% and 32.6%, respectively), thrombocytopenia (8.5% and 6.8%, respectively) and anaemia (6.8% and 6.2%, respectively). No febrile neutropenia was reported in these pts.
Conclusion: Dex dose reductions improved the efficacy of Len/Dex without affecting tolerability in pts with relapsed/refractory MM.

Soon, North Charleston City Hall will be transformed into a three-floor exhibit of visual art. Soon, the Charleston Area Convention Center and North Charleston Performing Arts Center will burst at the seams with music, dance and storytelling.
If you go
WHAT: North Charleston Arts FestivalWHEN: May 3-11WHERE: Charleston Area Convention Center Complex and North Charleston Performing Arts Center, plus other venues around townCOST: Various prices; many events are freeMORE INFO: For a full schedule, venue info, tickets and more, go to NorthCharlestonArts Fest.com, email email@example.com or call 740-5854.
On May 3, the 31st annual North Charleston Arts Festival kicks off a nine-day, nonstop entertainment extravaganza.
Centered at the PAC and convention center, the festival includes events and installations at 35 other venues around the city.
It's organized in two parts, the "Main Event" and daily "individual events."
The former takes place Saturday and Sunday at the PAC and in the exhibit halls. The ongoing events, which extend through May 11, are hosted by area schools, churches, retail locations, public spaces, community libraries and hotels.
Highlights? There are many, says Marty Besancon, director of the city's cultural arts department and founder of the festival.
The young urban violinist Daniel D. will play a set, including songs from his third album, "Epic Sounds" (3 p.m. Saturday, PAC stage).
La Flaca Flamenco Ensemble will get your blood flowing with traditional and contemporary flamenco music and dance (noon Saturday, PAC lobby stage).
Ann Caldwell and The Magnolia Singers will offer Gullah tunes and spirituals (1:30 p.m. Saturday, PAC lobby stage).
The InterACTive Theater of Jef is a variety act of comedy, magic, juggling and more (10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Exhibit Hall stage).
The River City Dixieland Jazz Band presents New Orleans-style jazz (4 p.m. next Sunday, PAC stage).
The Plantation Singers celebrate Lowcountry heritage (2 p.m. next Sunday, PAC lobby stage).
Next Sunday afternoon also will feature three bands on the PAC courtyard stage, Topper (classic rock), Blair Crimmins (Ragtime jazz) and The Coppertones (beach music and R&B).
And the Exhibit Hall stage will have a series of entertainment geared for young people, including a puppet show, magic show and interactive presentation.
The festival began in 1982 as a one-day community celebration at Park Circle, Besancon said. When the coliseum opened in 1995, the festival located there for a weekend and added programming. In 2001, the convention center was finished and the festival expanded to nine days.
Visual art has been an essential ingredient for many years, said Besancon and arts coordinator Ann Simmons.
The festival includes a judged photography competition (convention center), an outdoor sculpture show and competition (Riverfront Park), a display of quilts (City Hall) and more.
Reynier Llanes, a Cuban artist living and working in Charleston, has curated a show called "Contemporary Artists of Pinar Del Rio, Cuba," which can be seen on the third floor of City Hall.
Pinar Del Rio, in the western part of the island, about 100 miles from Havana, is Llanes' hometown, and the show features 32 paintings by friends, colleagues and teachers he has collected over the years, plus a couple of his own.
"When I was in Cuba, I admired a lot of those artists," Llanes said.
He met many of them while enrolled at Escuela de Introdores de Arte in Pinar Del Rio, a school that opened in 2000. "What I love in this exhibition is that you can identify each artist. You can read the story behind each painting."
The symbolism is rich, the subject matter diverse, the aesthetic styles varied. The paintings are good examples of magical realism, abstraction, surrealism, expressionism and post-impressionism, he said.
"When I decided to do the show, I realized they were artists that needed exposure."
The idea really was already developing five years ago, when Llanes first came to the U.S., settling first in Naples, Fla., and working with famed Lowcountry painter Jonathan Green.
"I had this vision," he said. "If I can make it, I want to help my friends."
Since then, he has been buying art and arranging for its export from Cuba, not always an easy process.
Most of the Cuban art on display during the festival is for sale, he said. A public reception is planned for 6-8 p.m. May 9.
Among the many musical acts at the festival is the first-time appearance of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra Chamber Ensemble, which will reprise a version of the Hit Parade set of tunes originally produced by the late jazz impresario Jack McCray.
The show, presented by Jazz Artists of Charleston and featuring band leader Charlton Singleton, is scheduled for 8 p.m. May 9 at the Olde Village Community Building, 4820 Jenkins Ave.
JAC Executive Director Leah Suarez said she, McCray and Singleton met with Besancon two years ago with the intention of putting on a show like this, but McCray's death interrupted those plans.
Now that the chamber ensemble is up and running, with intentions to tour, it made sense to include it in this year's arts festival, she said.
"It's one of the easiest events we've been able to put together because (Besancon and her team) have been so receptive and so supportive, welcoming us with open arms," Suarez said.
The acoustic set in an intimate venue likely will draw many of the jazz orchestra's patrons who live in North Charleston, she said.
"It's a great opportunity," one made especially appealing by the cultural arts office. "Marty has such great energy that she brings to the table, and the staff is so nice, organized, eager to work," Suarez said.
What else is on tap?
A May 4 choral concert by Lowcountry Voices honoring gospel greats of yesteryear, 5 p.m. Christ Temple Church, 1339 Sumner Ave.
A May 8 Art Walk in the Olde Village.
Street dancing on May 10.
A steel drum concert in Wannamaker County Park on May 11.
Screening of the movie "A Face in the Crowd," presented by the Greater Park Circle Film Society at 8 p.m. May 11 at the community building.
And the free grand finale and food truck rodeo, 6-9 p.m. May 11 at Riverfront Park to include a fireworks display.
Simmons said the festival draws about 30,000 patrons. "Many events are free, so there is no reason not to come."

The whole thing sounds like it's out of a Muppets movie. Only it's for real.
A new coffee shop opened in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles on Friday, and there were lines for its special brew all weekend. Name of the establishment in the strip mall: Dumb Starbucks.
Looking just like a regular Starbucks, right down to the all-too-familiar green, black and white logo, Dumb Starbucks has Dumb Iced Coffee, Dumb Frappuccinos, a seasonal Wuppy Duppy Latte and "Dumb Jazz Standards" CDs on its bill o'fare, reports the Los Angeles Times, also noting that the genuine Starbucks is "looking into" the parody, according to the Seattle-based company's spokesperson, Megan Adams.
As for the legalities of there being a Dumb Starbucks, Adams declined to say, but at the site a list of frequently asked questions addresses the issue, somewhat.
"Although we are a fully functioning coffee shop, for legal reasons Dumb Starbucks needs to be categorized as a work of parody art," said a statement. "So, in the eyes of the law, our 'coffee shop' is actually an art gallery and the 'coffee' you're buying is considered the art. But that's for our lawyers to worry about. All you need to do is enjoy our delicious coffee!"
So far, that seems to be the case. With buzz that the parody could only last so long, people are rushing in to buy.
"It's a very L.A. thing," Connor Sweeney, 24, tells the Times. "We'll see how long it lasts, that's why I'm here today."
'Dumb Starbucks' Draws Crowds – and Some Questions

MARTINSBURG - From areas surrounding the Altoona-Blair County Airport, 323 people will board a flight daily, an ongoing study estimates.
But of the 323, only about 18 - less than 6 percent - will board at the Martinsburg-area facility.
"Obviously, they're using other airports," said Jeffrey Hartz of Mead & Hunt, a Texas-based engineering and architectural firm with expertise in airline management.
While State College and Baltimore-Washington International airports might be good guesses as to where area residents are heading for flights, they weren't the most popular destination.
State College gets about 22 percent of the 323 daily passengers for a second-place ranking, the study showed. BWI, drawing about 13 percent of the 323 daily passengers, came in third.
The biggest portion of the 323 passengers - 41 percent - are driving to Pittsburgh, Hartz said.
That finding and related information are part of a New Regional Airport Service Plan also known as the PIT Connector Project, a plan that calls for creating daily flight service to Pittsburgh's airport from 13 regional airports, including the Altoona-Blair County and the John P. Murtha Johnstown Cambria County Airport.
The other airports included in the study are in Latrobe, Bradford, DuBois, Erie, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Allentown, State College, Franklin, Scranton and Williamsport.
Mead & Hunt started working on the plan last year when it was commissioned by the Allegheny County Airport Authority on behalf of the Pennsylvania Air Service Committee, a subcommittee of the Pennsylvania Aviation Advisory Committee to Gov. Tom Corbett and the state Department of Transportation.
The goal of the plan is to outline route, schedule, competitive pricing and related arrangements that could make the PIT Connector a viable option for interest airlines and serve airports. The goal also calls for a service that could be sustained without subsidy from the Essential Air Service program, a federal program with an uncertain future because of its expense.
Pittsburgh again?
While the Altoona-Blair County Airport used to offer flights to Pittsburgh, that service was abandoned in November 2005 because of a decline in passengers, which never rebounded after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack by terrorists. Part of the decline was based on ticket prices at that time, when potential passengers were choosing to drive to the Baltimore airport for lower fares.
The Altoona-Blair County Airport tried to address that beginning in mid-2004 by introducing flights to the Washington-Dulles International Airport, a destination that would mean lower ticket fares and more connections.
But after US Airways dropped Pittsburgh as a hub in 2005, discount airline carriers moved in and started offering lower fares, some of which remain available, depending on the travel route and airline.
Other than ticket prices, why are potential passengers driving to Pittsburgh, Altoona-Blair County Airport Authority member Gary Orner asked Hartz while recently reviewing the study's research with the authority.
Hartz replied that the amount of flights, schedules and connections are factors, especially for business travelers.
"Business travelers don't want to wait," Hartz said.
From the Altoona-Blair County Airport, passengers have a choice of three flights daily, currently 5:30 a.m., 10:48 a.m. and 7:04 p.m., via 33-seat Saab aircraft, to the Washington-Dulles International Airport. From there, passengers have non-stop flights to 125-plus domestic and international destinations.
The Pittsburgh airport, meanwhile, offers non-stop flights to 36 destinations.
Ticket price
to fly to Pittsburgh?
Hartz suggested that if the PIT Connector project becomes a reality, it would probably initiate service from the Altoona-Blair County Airport for a $50 roundtrip ticket.
That price probably would be increased later, Hartz said, but initially, it would be set low enough to attract people driving to Pittsburgh for flights.
Lanny Ross, who chairs the Altoona-Blair County Airport Authority, said the initiative will need a marketing effort. But Eric Buncher, manager of planning services for the Allegheny County Airport Authority who accompanied Hartz to a recent airport authority meeting, offered his doubt in response to Ross' recommendation.
"With a price like that, you won't need to do a lot of marketing to get the planes full," Buncher said.
Ross told Buncher he would respectfully disagree.
"We have competitive fares, but no one knows we're here," Ross said.
Online ticket options indicate roundtrip flights between Martinsburg and Washington-Dulles can be booked for $160 to $180, depending on timing. The price increases with additional destinations.
Over the years, the airport authority has had limited money to advertise flights and fares. Several years ago, it secured a state grant that paid for some local advertising as part of an effort to help small airports build ridership.
Airport Manager Tim Hite, who took on that role in November, has told the authority that its budget has no money available for local advertising.
Options available
Silver Airways, based in Fort Lauderdale, started providing daily passenger service on Aug. 1, 2012, at the Altoona-Blair County and the John P. Murtha Cambria County airports. Its contract for that service, at $3.99 million annually, was awarded through the federal Essential Air Service program and runs through Aug. 1, 2014.
With that contract up for renewal next year, Hart recommended the airport authority begin now to look for some options to build service. Flights to Pittsburgh would draw in passengers driving there now, but Hart said he would advise against offering only flights to Pittsburgh.
"Dulles is a premier international gateway hub," Hart said. "You wouldn't want to lose that."
As an example of what might be possible, Hart mentioned the success that Cape Air, headquarted in Hyannis, Mass., has had with its 55-minute daily flight from the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport in southeast Missouri to St. Louis. A regional airport that once had 3,000 passengers, Cape Girardeau saw ridership climb to 11,746 passengers in 2012.
In a story published in January in the Southeast Missourian, Cape Girardeau Regional Airport Manager Bruce Loy credited Cape Air for the turnaround.
"They are dependable, they are low cost, they are really everything we need for a good service between here and St. Louis," Loy said.
Cape Air uses a fleet of Cessna 402 airplanes which accommodate nine passengers. It makes four flights on each weekday and two on weekends - for a $50 one-way ticket when booked on Cape Air's website.
Other competition
Another airport attracting local residents in search of flights is the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport outside Latrobe, southeast of Pittsburgh. In February 2011, Spirit Airlines introduced flights to Fort Lauderdale. It later added flights to Myrtle Beach and Orlando, and as of mid-June, introduced flights to Dallas.
David Helsel of Altoona, who owns CTR Supply of Duncansville, said he and his wife, Janet, like to fly out of the Latrobe airport to Florida, where they own a second home, because of the direct flights and the ticket fares.
"It's not as close as Blair County's airport, but we could never get the fares from there that we get out of Latrobe," he said.
Spirit advertises discounted fares - some times as low as $9 - for frequent fliers who join a club with an annual membership fee of $60. Being part of that club also entitles members to receive messages from the airline as to when it's offering discounted fares.
"My brother and his wife got an alert about a fare to Fort Lauderdale," Helsel said. "They ended up with [roundtrip] tickets for $40 each, and they could go when they wanted."
Looking ahead
Blair County Commissioner Diane Meling, liaison to the airport authority, said idea of again offering flights to Pittsburgh needs more research.
"To me, it's still in conceptual stage, and it's all contingent upon: Is this what the public wants?" Meling said. "If it's not going to be utilized, there's no point in doing it."
While the study indicated that the Altoona-Blair County Airport is losing 41 percent of potential passengers to the Pittsburgh airport, Meling said she would be interested in learning more about that calculation.
"My experience, and the people I talk to indicate they're going to State College or BWI," she said.
Airport authority member Herb Bolger said he also wondered about the accuracy of the 41 percent figure, especially since Pittsburgh lost its designation as a hub airport and no longer has as many flight destinations.
"I think our service to Dulles is a superior service. It's a gateway to so many other locations," Bolger said.
Hart agreed while encouraging the authority to consider some other options.
"Is Pittsburgh a great connecting hub comparable to Dulles?" he asked. "No. But the majority of your traffic is willing to drive to Pittsburgh looking for lower ticket prices and better flight schedules ... and this is your airport on the line."

Dear Reader,
Here we are in what are supposed to be the dog days of summer, the month of August. It's the time of year when people are on vacation and not much is happening except hot sticky weather. But here at the IMF, a lot of activity is taking place this month.
On August 10, the IMF clinical conference – Challenging Cases in Multiple Myeloma & Related Plasma Cell Disorders – was held in New York City. The IMF partnered with Network for Oncology Communication & Research (NOCR) to present this exciting and interactive program, which was made possible by sponsorship from Novartis, Celgene, Millennium, CTI, and NeoRx.
This invitation-only meeting was open only to hematologists and oncologists from across the country who treat myeloma. They were presented with 10 case studies of actual patients and had the unique opportunity to share their thoughts on how they would treat each case and to debate particular treatment recommendations of the panel of myeloma experts that included Chairman, Dr. Brian Durie, Dr. Raymond Alexanian, Dr. Bart Barlogie, Dr. Bill Bensinger, Dr. Robert Kyle, and Dr. Vincent Rajkumar. The program format made for a very lively and stimulating meeting.
On August 15, Dr. Durie and I traveled to Toronto for a meeting with the local myeloma support group. This was our second visit with the group and, once again, group leader Marion State did an excellent job of organizing our visit and making us feel welcome. We enjoyed the opportunity to meet with the group members and share the latest information about what's new in myeloma research and treatment.
We left Toronto the next morning for the Chicago IMF Patient & Family Seminar, held on August 17. We were looking forward to being back in the windy city and meeting old friends and making new ones. The IMF once again brought together an expert faculty for the full day seminar. A highlight of this meeting was an announcement about our exciting new partnership – The Inspired Venture Partnership in Multiple Myeloma. This program, co-sponsored by the IMF and the Goldman Philanthropic Partnerships, is designed to seek out high risk/reward research from a range of disciplines (oncology to computer science, to mathematics, to integrative medicine). You'll be reading more about this program in future issues of Myeloma Today.
But the month is not over yet! The IMF is about to launch our CME-accredited CD- ROM web-based program: Expert Opinions on Multiple Myeloma. This program, made possible by a generous grant from a patient, provides physicians with the chance to watch world-renowned myeloma specialists share their knowledge, discuss their treatment choices, and compare their perspectives on controversial issues in multiple myeloma and related diseases.
And if that's not enough, we will end August with our first ever national Myeloma Awareness Week, which takes place August 26 through September 1, 2002. It's an excellent opportunity for members of the myeloma community to unite in our fight against myeloma.
Myeloma never takes time off and neither does the IMF. We are here to serve you. And remember – "Until there is a cure…There is the IMF."

The clincher for the Hatters came on court No. 5, when Eveline Lepinay was taken to three sets by the Knights' Sofia Baptista, but Lepinay came out on top, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. Before the sixth and final singles match, the score stood at 3-3, with UCF claiming victories on courts No. 3, 4 and 6, while the Hatters were victorious on Courts No. 1 and 2. Diana Bukajeva held her No. 1 position with a 6-3, 6-1 win over UCF's Josephine Haraldson, while Andrea Crespo won on court No. 2, 7-6, 6-1. Stetson took the doubles point (2-1) and got out to an early 1-0 match lead with victories from Diana Bukajeva and MayaBlue Stauffer-MacDowell (8-3) on court No. 1. The pairing of Andrea Crespo and Isabella Fernandez clinched the point with an 8-5 decision on court No. 2 The win gave the Hatters their first over the Knights since both teams began play in the 1993 season and brought their winning streak to six. Stetson finishes the regular season with a 16-5 overall record and a 5-3 A-Sun mark. "This team has cleared many hurdles this year and beating UCF on its home courts is another one from the past that they have cleared," said Director of Stetson Tennis Pierre Pilote. "It is difficult to imagine a better way to end our regular season." "Coach (Stephanie) Nickitas and her staff lead such a strong program," Pilote added. "They prepare their team very well for each match and today was no different." Stetson next plays in the A-Sun Championship, scheduled for Apr. 17-19 in Jacksonville, with North Florida as the host.

NEWELL-In an emotional meeting Tuesday with new Hancock County Sheriff Ralph Fletcher, the people of Newell sounded like a community simultaneously frozen by fear and fed up with crime.
"We have no police here at all," one woman said, "and we can't get them to come here because they're taking care of other towns."
Newell residents turned out in force Tuesday night for a meeting called by the Newell Community Improvement Coalition to address concerns about a rash of home burglaries and car break-ins.

Coalition Treasurer Sue Thompson estimated more than 150 people filled the Newell Lions Den hall, making it standing-room-only.
"We are really proud of Newell tonight," Thompson said. "I really am."
The 90-minute meeting-by turns animated and civil-was dominated by questions for Fletcher about what the Hancock County Sheriff's Department is doing to reduce crime in Newell.
Fletcher, elected to the office of sheriff in November, had to use his big voice at times to answer questions, talk over people and keep order in the meeting. At one point, Fletcher, 60, intervened in what looked like was becoming an altercation between a man and a woman-both of them trying to be heard over the shouting.
To a man who peppered him with questions, Fletcher said, "I can take the heckling-but not for long."
Later, to an insistent woman, Fletcher said, "Let me finish."
"I am," the woman said.
"No," Fletcher replied, "your mouth's still moving."
Longtime residents, including Marilyn Boyd, told Fletcher they feel unsafe in a community that was once quiet and uneventful. Many said they feel forgotten by law enforcement and powerless because theirs is an unincorporated town-with no local government or police force.
Boyd wondered why the constable and justice of the peace she remembers from her childhood can't be brought back.
"I intend to keep our officers in the unincorporated parts of Hancock County," Fletcher said to applause. "That's my plan."
Fletcher, a former Weirton police chief, said he has other plans, as funding allows:
* To increase the number of detectives working major crimes;
* To boost patrols in high-crime areas;
* To bring more professionalism "to the officers who don't show it";
* To add two deputies to the force; and
* To establish zone patrols.
The latter, Fletcher said, will help with police coverage because, with 26 sworn officers and 25 part-time reserve officers, there's not enough manpower to sufficiently respond to calls.
"Newell will be part of a zone where an officer will be in this particular neighborhood often," Fletcher said.
Residents complained that no suspects in the burglaries have been arrested. One man named names, saying that three young people are responsible.
"You have not given me a name yet that I don't know," Fletcher said. "Proving it's different. Give me some good evidence, so I can get an officer down here."
Another man said he knows of at least 10 Newell residents who have recently bought a gun to protect themselves. "What are a homeowner's rights?" he asked.
Fletcher cited the castle law, which is the law of the land in West Virginia. "You are the king of your castle, and, in West Virginia, you have a right to protect yours. You have a right to protect your life and property inside your home."
To other residents-women concerned about their safety and the safety of their children-Fletcher gave some plain-spoken advice: "Do what you have to do to protect yourself. ... If you swing the bat once and it knocks him out, you stop."
Fletcher took residents to task for acting concerned but not doing anything about crime. He said he recently had eight plain-clothes officers in town-four in vehicles, four on foot-conducting surveillance and tripping alarms. No one in town reported any suspicious activity, he said.
"I'm disappointed that nobody called," he said.
Fletcher suggested community involvement in the form of neighborhood watches. He also said he supports a curfew.
At the end of the meeting, Fletcher said, "This is what I expected. I expected the people to be upset. I expected them to have a lot of questions about safety. I hope I was able to help them out. Time will tell."

It's been a tough couple of weeks for Justin Bieber as the "Baby" singer fights off accusations he fathered a baby with a fan, Mariah Yeater.
But it may be almost over: Bieber has taken a paternity test in New Jersey, according to a TMZ report.
The pop star, 17, reportedly went to a lab to take the test under "very controlled circumstances," and now Yeater, 20, just has to provide DNA from her child.
A rep for Bieber had no comment on the paternity test but a source told PEOPLE the singer planned to submit DNA last Friday.
Although Yeater's lawsuit was dropped last week, her new team of lawyers says she still wanted to pursue her claim outside the courtroom.
One of lawyers, Chicago-based attorney Jeffrey M. Leving, previously told PEOPLE he was negotiating with Bieber's counsel to reach a confidentiality agreement to get private testing and results.
Bieber's team has already stated that they will "vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to protect Justin and to hold those involved with bringing this suit accountable for their actions."
In the suit, Yeater alleged that Bieber, who is currently dating fellow pop star Selena Gomez, lost his virginity to her backstage at an L.A. tour stop. The drama is further complicated by their age gap: In the state of California, the age of consent is 18, and Bieber would have been 16 at the time of the alleged sexual encounter.
"I know that I'm going to be a target," Bieber said two days after the suit was filed, "but I'm never going to be a victim."

Portage Area has already knocked two of the better teams in the Heritage Conference out of the District 6 high school football playoffs in back-to-back weeks.
Now the Mustangs are looking to eliminate a third.
On no one's list of squads to watch in 6-A entering the season, Portage will continue to try to prove the naysayers wrong and live up to its second seed when the Mustangs host a team that came into the season with plenty of hype and enters the postseason with a lot of momentum, Northern Cambria.
Kickoff for the quarterfinal encounter at Portage Area Stadium is set for 7 p.m.
"We were hoping to be .500 with the kids we had, with the youth and the inexperience in different places. But these seniors sure responded and became believers from the first game. Each week, they proved people wrong," said Mustangs coach Gary Gouse, who missed last week's win at Homer-Center after emergency surgery earlier that day to remove gallstones. "I'm really proud of where we're at."
The Mustangs are 9-1, with all but two of those wins coming against teams that have winning records. In the last two games, they've beaten Blairsville and Homer-Center when those opponents could have made the playoffs with wins.
Portage's bread and butter has been its running game. The Mustangs average nearly 300 yards per game on the ground. Caleb Kephart leads the way with 1,150 yards and 15 touchdowns.
However, Gouse is most proud of another aspect of his team.
"The defense this year has come so far," Gouse said. "Last year, we gave up long passes. We'd have never won a game like we did against Homer. We could have been 8-1, 9-1 last year, but we'd let people score on us before the half. We never finished the job. Our defense has done an outstanding job of not giving up big plays and bend but not break and coming up with some great plays for us. You've got to have a great defense to win big games, and we really have this year."
Only two teams have scored 20 points against Portage this year, and none have put more than 24 on the scoreboard. Fourteen Mustang defenders enter the playoffs with at least 30 tackles, topped by Cody Kephart with 139.
This week might be the Portage defense's ultimate challenge.
"Their kids are very athletic, and their skill kids are outstanding," Gouse said of Northern Cambria. "Their skill kids make a lot of big, big plays. We have to try to keep the ball away from them as long as we can and try to stop them from making big plays."
The Colts have star power. Quarterback Jeff Hogan surpassed the 1,000-yard passing mark last week and has one of the area's best touchdown-to-interception ratios: 14-to-6. Tall wideout Adam Polites is among the area's leaders in receiving touchdowns (seven) and yards per catch (24.0). Derek Bearer has five touchdown receptions and averages more than 10 yards per carry - he also had a 55-yard scoring run that sparked the Colts in their win over Cambria Heights last week. Nate Zachesky has five 100-yard rushing games in NC's last seven contests behind an offensive line with good size.
The Colts also have playmakers on defense. Alex Atkins, a 235-pound linebacker, averages more than 10 tackles, while end Josh Platko has double-digit sacks.
Northern Cambria got what one would figure would be a big emotional boost last week in beating Heights, which controlled its own destiny for a Class AA playoff home game. The Colts are 7-3.
"It's hard to tell with kids nowadays, but I think they took it in stride. They were excited about the win, but they're ready to move on now," Colts coach Paul Taranto said.
Northern Cambria also knows what it takes to win a playoff game on the road. It won at Glendale in the first round last year before falling to eventual district champion Penns Manor. The Colts avenged that loss in this season's opener, handing the Comets their only loss.
"I know I'll get 100 percent effort on Friday night. I always do," Taranto said. "It's just a matter of whether we can limit mistakes and be mentally focused. They'll definitely play their hearts out. They remember the excitement from last year. I think that's our bonus."
Gouse has a fairly young team. Playoff regulars, the Mustangs missed last year's postseason, losing their last game of the regular season, but Gouse expects them to be ready to make up for lost time.
"I think they've earned their credibility, but I don't think a lot of people give that to them. I think that's a shame. But that's fine. I think we really earned our way there this year," Gouse said.

The Patriots (2-2) moved the ball, but the Gators (4-0) made too many big plays and capitalized on two Fort turnovers.
Goose Creek Fullback Evan McField scored on runs of 49 and 7 yards. Gator QB Dantez Bennamon scored on scampers covering 57 and 64 yards. He also completed 7 of 9 pass attempts for approximately 75 yards.
"We don't have a dominant defense, but some guys stepped up tonight and did a good job," Goose Creek coach Chuck Reedy said. "Offensively, we went into the game with the idea of running a lot of option and all those big plays basically came off the option. It was a good win. Fort Dorchester is a good football team so we are glad to get this one behind us."
Matt Murray was the workhorse for Fort Dorchester. He led all rushers with 164 yards and scored two TDs. Patriot QB Kobe Garrett rushed for 100 yards and two TDs and passed for approximately 90 yards.
Fort Dorchester only trailed by a score (28-21) entering the final quarter.
"We made some mistakes," Fort Dorchester coach Steve LaPrad said. "Obviously we didn't play good enough defense to win but we hung in there. We are not a bad ball club, but we have to stop making some of those stupid mistakes. … It was kind of like the Stratford game, I thought we were right there in it."
The Patriots drove 63 yards to score on a Murray run on their opening drive to take the lead. They then held the Gators to a sole yard on their opening drive.
But Goose Creek scored on its next four possessions. Bennamon scored on runs of 57 and 64 yards while McField and tailback Caleb Kinlaw scored on runs of 49 and 46, respectively, to give the Gators a 28-7 lead.
The Patriots didn't quit.
With 3:53 remaining in the first half, Fort Dorchester drove 69 yards to score. Garrett capped the drive by rushing for 2 yards and then diving another yard to stretch the tip of the ball across the goal line for a TD with no time remaining.
Goose Creek's first possession of the second half was stopped by a fourth-down-and-5 Patriot stand.
Fort Dorchester then drove 68 yards to score and cut the lead to 7. Garrett had the big play on the drive, breaking a pair of tackles on his way to a 9-yard TD run halfway through the third quarter.
But the fourth quarter belonged to the Gators. Goose Creek sustained two long drives and took a 42-21 lead off TD runs by McField and Darin McNeil.
Fort Dorchester responded by driving 71 yards and scoring on a 25-yard run by Murray. But Goose Creek needed only one play to cap the scoring with a 57-yard TD run by Tyrik Johnson on first down.
Fort Dorchester 7 7 7 7—28
Goose Creek 7 21 0 21—49
Fort Dorchester — Matt Murray 2 run (Riley Rozanski kick)
Goose Creek — Dantez Bennamon 57 run (Alex Jacobus kick)
Goose Creek — Evan McField 49 run (Jacobus kick)
Goose Creek — Bennamon 64 run (Jacobus kick)
Goose Creek — Caleb Kinlaw 46 run (Jacobus kick)

Are you prepared for a disaster in your community? As a national Homeland Security Initiative, Teen CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) is here to help educate the youth in your city.
Teen CERT is a year-round program directed at making communities safer by training youth how to prepare for and respond to times of emergencies. Through disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, fire safety and team organization, youth are exposed to careers in emergency service.
A branch off Learning for Life, the Explorer program provides young men and women ages 14-20 with the chance to experience hands-on activities that promote personal and community safety.
Meetings are held at the Charleston Police Department twice a month for two hours.
Not only does Teen CERT increase awareness of emergency preparedness, it also helps young adults develop as individuals by encouraging networking, community service, character development, self-confidence and leadership.
According to members Hal Kroninger and Skyler Jennings, Teen CERT training teaches you readiness and response skills.
Hands-on practice and realistic exercises prepare you for the unexpected in your community.
Newly-taught leadership skills empower you to safely respond to an emergency and assist victims without endangering yourself or others.
You'll be equipped with skills that last a lifetime. This is the goal of Teen CERT when the group trains its members.
Teen CERT involves everyone in making the communities and our nation safer, stronger, and better prepared. Many schools are taking advantage of trained Teen CERT members to enhance their school response plan.
Teen CERT insists that no matter where you live, who you are, or your age, we all have a role in hometown preparedness. What role will you play?

'School of Rock' coming to Hagerstown
HAGERSTOWN, Md. - The blockbuster movie "School of Rock" popularized the idea that anyone, no matter what age or level of experience, can indeed become a member of a rock band. The new Hagerstown Rock School, opening early January 2011, will provide the first educational opportunity of its kind in Washington County - combining individual musical instruction with weekly band practice and community performances. The school will accept students of guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals from age 4 to adult, matching them with bandmates of similar age and ability, all in a safe, encouraging environment.
The school's roster of instructors is packed with professional musicians, led by music director and co-owner Scott Fisher, former writer and guitar player for Sony Music Entertainment/Epic Records recording artists Foam. Fisher - who has been playing since the age of 4 - believes his staff is unique. "This is a great concept because it offers students not only expertise in their chosen instrument but knowledge from musicians who have had hands-on experience rising through the industry writing, performing and touring," he said.
The school will offer four semesters per year plus week-long music camps, clinics by special guest musicians and specialty songwriting classes for more advanced students. Song selection will change with each semester and encompass all types of rock music - from classic rock like The Beatles and the Rolling Stones to stadium rockers U2 and AC/DC to current favorites Kings of Leon and Paramore.
The school also is co-owned by Kate Rader, owner of RidgeRunner Publishing, LLC, publishers of Hagerstown magazine. "The rock school's programs fit right in because they can stand on their own or complement any existing music curriculum. Our goal for this school is to offer not only the opportunity to develop technique, but to actually get out into the community and perform. It's a win-win for music lovers and for the musicians," Rader said. Hagerstown Rock School LLC will be located at 140 W. Franklin St., Suite 100, Hagerstown, MD 21740
Open 4 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays.
For more information, call 301-790-3031 or visit www.htownrockschool.com.

Product Highlights
Amazon $1599
Adorama $1599
We're all still waiting for the mountain of reviews that will follow the release of this lens. For $1599, I expect it to be great.
Removable Tripod Collar
Why not spring another $400 and get an exceptional lens: 70-200 2.8 IS II
I, for one, don't think that it's going to be very popular, particularly at that price. The 70-300 IS is too good a lens for a lot less money. $900 seems much more reasonable. The current price also makes me dread how much the next generation 100-400 will cost.
Yeah, i think its just too expensive.For $1600 it better be SPECTACULAR.The 70-200 f4 IS is considered to have stellar optics and it's $400 cheaper.The $400 you save affords you a 1.4x TC to boot.For the same money, between having a 70-300 4-5.6 and a 70-200 f4, with option to go up to 280 @ 5.6, i know which i'd prefer.

Chef Wolfgang Puck has a standing date every year for the Academy Awards: He caters the star-studded Governors Ball after the awards show. This year, Puck says, the theme is 1930s glamour – and, he tells PEOPLE, "we'll have the food to match it."
"The celebrities who come to the Oscars ceremony haven't eaten for hours, so when they come to our dinner, they're hungry and they expect to get great food," Puck says of the bash. "And nobody pays attention to their diet."
On this year's menu? A crispy potato galette with smoked salmon, followed by a main course of organic chicken pot pie with black truffles and root vegetables. First, though, guests will start with sushi and shrimp, oyster and crab, served with cocktail sauce, mustard sauce and mignonette, a vinegar and shallot sauce to be served with the oysters.
The 1,500 guests will also nosh on buffet-style appetizers, including mini Kobe beef cheeseburgers, assorted pizzas and tempura shrimp.
And for dessert? Puck's traditional 24-carat chocolate Oscar, of course.
"There's always a bit of tradition when we do the Oscar dinner," he says, "We don't want to overdo it, but we do give every guest a gold-covered chocolate Oscar to take home."
Not invited to the annual Governors Ball? Don't worry – you can throw your own Oscar dinner at home – and make Puck's chicken pot pie dish. Watch as Puck shows you how to make the recipe (above), then try it yourself!
Who knows, maybe George Clooney will knock on your door?

[Masta Ace]
Listen closely, so your attention's undivided
Many in the past have tried to do what I did
Just the way I came off then, I'm gonna come off
Stronger and longer, even with the drum off
I keep on goin' and flowin' just like a river
I got a whole lot to give so I'm-a give a
Little at a time, new trails are blazin'
Action is in effect, and always stays in
Yeah, just like a shot from a cannon
I am the man in charge and I've been plannin'
A jam strong enough that it can lift your soul
I'm the originator, and my rhymes are made of gold
Once you hear the capital "A" rap, it'll stay
With you for awhile, it won't go away
Unless you force it, because it stays with you, my friend
And if you toss it away, I'm-a hit ya again
I project my voice so it's right in the crowd
There's a sign at the door: no bitin' allowed
And if you didn't read it I suggest you do so
Or you'll be stranded, just like Crusoe
Sleep if ya wanna, go 'head, get some shut-eye
A man broke his jaw tryin' to say what I
Say on the microphone, you shoulda left it alone
Just for the record, let it be known
That my ego's only partially grown
And never will I ever condone biting in any form, yo I'm only warm
That verse was the calm, now here's the storm
Next up (Yo, I believe that's me)
Craig G, light up the mic for the Symphony
[Craig G]
This jam is dedicated to all un-optimistics
That though I wasn't coming out with some exquisite rhymes
But that's alright, cuz now I'm back
To kill all the rumors and straighten the facts of me
Not rockin' rhymes like I always used to
But you jumped on the tip when you heard me and the Juice Crew
You said, "Mmm mmm mmm, ain't that somethin?
Yo Craig, I heard you in that jam, and it's pumpin'!
I apologize. Oh yeah, and uh, can I have your autograph for me and my grandma?"
That's how I'm livin': on surprise mode
Don't even sleep, try not to keep your eyes closed
Cuz if you do, when you awaken, your so-called spot will be taken
I'll take you over like a greedy executive, cuz on the mic my prospective is
To be the best in all rap events, and since I have a call, I call experience
Next up...(Yo, I believe that's me)
Kool G Rap, light up the mic for the Symphony
One of the greatest old-school posse cuts, the Juice Crew feature 'The Symphony' heavily samples Otis Redding's 'Hard to Handle'
Later followed by a sequel, "The Symphony Part II"
Rolling Stone Magazine voted this the 48th greatest hip hop song of all time.

Despite multiple reports of drama and weeks of silence from the show's cast about the rumors, Murphy told Extra on Tuesday, "I always marvel at the things that become headline news that most of the time are completely fabricated."
More specifically, Murphy addresses Lea Michele's reported feud with costar Naya Rivera, who apparently got booted from the show for poor behavior on set.
"I don't think there is a story between Naya and Lea," he said. "Naya's coming back next year, Lea's coming back next year – anybody ever in that cast has an open invitation to come back and finish the character they so beautifully started."
Although fellow cast mates have remained mum about what's really going on, Chris Colfer told PEOPLE last week that he finds it "really sad" to watch horrible (and many times untrue) headlines being written about his costars, explaining, "These horrible things are written about them and none of it is true, but some reporter wants to get a hit, they say so-and-so is a raging bitch."
