Man charged with prescription fraudsJanuary 31,2013A Pennsylvania man who police say was shopping for doctors who would prescribe him with pain medication denied five felony charges Monday.
John D. Harper, 41, of Leesport, Penn., pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to five counts of prescription fraud. He was released on court-ordered conditions.
Vermont State Police Detective T.L. Hodsden wrote in a court affidavit that Harper obtained prescriptions for opiate-based pain medications from a dozen doctors and dentists in the Rutland, Ludlow, Bennington and Keene, N.H. areas last year.
Harper allegedly filled those prescriptions at eight different pharmacies spread across Rutland and Bennington counties.
In Rutland County alone, Hodsden said Harper filled 17 prescriptions for pain medications between April and June of last year.
If convicted of all charges, Harper faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail.MORE IN This Just InRICHARD'S POOR ALMANACK: Vanessa Williams resigns from Miss America pageant after Bob Guccione publishes nude photos of her in Penthouse magazine and Hefner takes the high road; on this day in 1995, Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp discover a new comet. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott uploads astronomic, historic and epigrammatic data...

The Newsmakers: April 8-12, 2013
BioCryst Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BCRX) moved significantly higher (~42% by Friday), although it ended the week significantly lower than the highs made on Monday. Bio-Wire put out a note on the company right before a serious outbreak of H7N9 (another straight of "bird flu"), which resulted in another note later the same day explaining the situation. Analysts were quick to dismiss this as a non-catalyst for BioCryst from a financial standpoint, although we expect the news to have some positive impact on upcoming discussions that the company will hold with the FDA & Department of Health and Human Services (the entity funding BioCryst through a contract).
Acadia Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD) , which we have been bullish on, moved nearly 63% higher by the end of the week after the FDA agreed to lay out the path towards NDA submission and eventual approval for Acadia's flagship drug pimavanserin based on an already-completed Phase III trial that spiked the stock last year.
Sarepta Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SRPT) also saw a great week, closing over 11% higher after new data was released last Tuesday on GlaxoSmithKline's competing muscular dystrophy drug drisapersen which further supported the notion that the mechanism of action that Sarepta's eteplirsen and drisapersen share (exon skipping, particularly exon 51 of the dystrophin gene in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy patients) was viable. Media coverage (from us & others) was particularly heavy since those affected with muscular dystrophy now treatment options that actually work.
Affymax (NASDAQ: AFFY) crumbled for another 9.5% in the last week as continuing investor lawsuits whittle away at whatever's left of the company's reputation. The website is also non-operational, which reflects the state that the company is currently in. Remaining employees will be "separated", and it seems almost certain that litigation fees will destroy whatever is left of the company's resources.
Abbott Labs (NYSE: ABT) received CE marking (European approval) for a galectin-3 assay known as Architect, which has big potential for aiding in the prognosis of patients at risk for adverse cardiovascular events and many other indications which are being studied now. More details on galectin-3 can be found here.
Questcor Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: QCOR) had a nasty fall of over 10% by Friday in a prolonged, bearish reaction to a research note put out by Favus Institutional Research suggesting that Questcor was setting itself up for a miss in upcoming quarterly earnings. We don't agree that this will happen.

Old-Fashioned Whiskey Cocktail Recipe
The Old Fashioned is a variation on the classic whiskey cocktail. We like ours with a slice of orange rind muddled with sugar and water. For less orange flavor, simply garnish with the orange rind; for more, muddle with a full slice of orange and rind.
This recipe was featured as part of our New Year's Eve cocktails.
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon water
- 2 dashes angostura bitters
- 1 slice orange rind
- Ice
- 2 ounces rye whiskey or bourbon
- 1 maraschino cherry

ONEONTA _ FOTOT has put the ``o'' back into the Oneonta Theatre.
Friends of the Oneonta Theatre and supporters said Wednesday that the stage at the 47 Chestnut St. theater has been cleared, water leaks in the roof are fixed and bats have been evicted. Plans are being made to show films, present shows and concerts and provide performance space for local groups and artists.
Plans and state funding were announced at a media conference among seats inside the theater Wednesday. FOTOT supporters then took newly made letters outside for the marquee _ where the second ``o'' in Oneonta Theatre had long been missing _ and the sign was made complete.
``It's going to be an art house,'' FOTOT board president Patrice Macaluso said.
The theater has 675 seats, plus an enclosed balcony, an orchestra pit and a 60-foot fly space. Since it was built in 1897, it has hosted vaudeville acts, movies and other performances. The property is listed on state and national registers of historic places.
Macaluso said FOTOT has an agreement with Thomas Cormier, the building's owner, to rent the theater. Lease terms still are being worked out, she said, and goals include keeping overhead low so the theater can be financially accessible to community groups.
State Sen. James Seward, R-Milford, said he designated $10,000 from the 2009-10 state budget as a member item for FOTOT. The grant will help in general operating expenses for the theater, he said.
The Oneonta Theatre is an important part of Oneonta's history, said Seward, who shared childhood memories of lines of patrons waiting outside the theater to see Disney movies. The theater should be part of Oneonta's future and development as a thriving arts center, he said.
``We announce the rebirth of this Oneonta landmark,'' Seward said Wednesday. ``This is a big step forward.''

ALBANY --NY Jobs Now Committee, which has gotten most of its funding from gambling companies, is out with two new statewide ads promoting Proposal One in next week's elections.
The group has raised at least $3 million the past month and it is running a campaign against anti-casino groups that have no real money to spend.
Neither television ad shows an actual image of a casino, but there are plenty of images of cooks working in a kitchen, people walking along a waterfront and pretty outdoors scenes. They also use the term "gaming,'' not "gambling.'' The ads do address a worry by some casino proponents by telling viewers they have to flip over the November 5 ballot to be able to vote on Proposal One and the other five statewide propositions.
The first ad talks of the potential job claims.
The second ad talks of some newspaper editorial support.

Thomas, Walker, Tamgho All Win Twice
Raiders claim 10 firsts at last meet before conference championshipsFebruary 10, 2007 · MT Media Relations
Senior James Thomas was one of three Blue Raiders to win two events Saturday at the Middle Tennessee Valetine Invitational at Murphy Center. (Rick Yeatts)
Thomas set a personal-best in the shot put with a winning mark of 53-7 and has set PR's in the event in the last three meets. The Knoxville, Tenn., native was also first in the weight throw with a mark of 55-8.
Walker posted first-place finishes in the long jump (season-best mark of 25-1) and 55-meter hurdles (7.42), his second victory this season in the long jump and fourth in the hurdles.
Tamgho also posted season-bests in both the long jump (19-11) and triple jump (40-8.75), winning both events.
The Blue Raiders also had winning marks from sophomore TraMayne Gillyard in the 400-meters (57.19), junior Antranette Stringer in the 200-meters (25.36) and sophomore Iceca Epps in the 55-meter hurdles (8.19) for the women and senior Pierre Ingram in the high jump (6-0) for the men.
Elsewhere for the women, freshman MeLyn Thompson placed sixth in the weight throw (44-5), while freshman Brittany Cox finished second (45-0.5) and Thompson was third (45-0) in the shot put.
In the triple jump, freshman Sarah Nambawa placed second with a season-best mark of 39-10 and junior Sierra Douglas was fourth with a mark of 38-0.
In the running events, junior Marjorie Gombert finished eighth in the mile run in 5:18.43, while Stringer was second in the 400-meters in 58.50. Douglas placed second in the 55-meter hurdles in 8.36, and sophomore Erika Palmer placed second in the 55-meter dash in 7.28.
Nambawa and senior Veronia Patterson finished second and third, respectively, in the 800-meters in 2:19.44 and 2:19.90, and Gillyard and Palmer were 2-3 in the 200-meters with times of 25.42 and 25.66, respectively.
In the 3000-meters, freshman Sangau Zamzam placed second in 10:26.92, with senior Sara Lunning sixth in 11:05.25 and sophomore Tiffany Sawyer seventh in 11:05.74.
For the Blue Raider men, senior Germayle Franklin placed fifth in the weight throw (44-9) and senior Christopher Sapp was eighth (34-6). Franklin also was eighth in the shot put with a mark of 38-2.5.
Senior JaKeith Hairston finished second in the long jump with a mark of 23-3, while Walker was second and the top collegian in the triple jump (48-8), with Hairston seventh (44-3.5) and sophomore Brandon Jones eighth (43-7).
In the running events, senior Tony Carufe placed eighth in the mile run in 4:30.12, while senior Jermaine Barton finished second in the 400-meters in 48.30 and sophomore Samuel Adade was fifth in 48.97.

Carufe was seventh and junior Chris Travis eighth in the 800-meters with times of 2:03.76 and 2:05.09, respectively.
"We had some pretty good performances," head coach Dean Hayes said. "James' shot put was a big PR and Zamzam's 3000 was very good. The best part is all of our 3000 runners were under 12 minutes, including Kaitlyn Hammond in her first race of the season.
"We had a lot of people with some nicks and bruises, so we didn't run them. But we did well and will spend the next two weeks getting ready for the Sun Belt meet."
Middle Tennessee takes next weekend off before participating in the Sun Belt Indoor Championships, February 24-25, at the Convocation Center in Jonesboro, Ark. The Blue Raider men are the defending champions and have won five of six titles since joining the league, while the Middle Tennessee women claimed SBC championships four straight years from 2001-04.

"Rethinking That Assessment"
Remember remarking (and even writing) the Gen. Neyland might have been spinning in his grave when Tennessee and UCLA played a 37-34 game in December of 1965. There weren't that many 37-34 games in the General's day.
Would have to rethink that assessment after yesterday's offensive fireworks at Sanford Stadium in Athens. The two teams put 95 points on the board, Georgia getting 51, and more than 1,000 yards total offense. Gen. Neyland had 11 teams give up 51 points or fewer in a single season way back when.
That was then.
This is now.
Just for the record, Georgia has now won three in a row over the Volunteers. The series tightens to 21-19-2, Tennessee. The teams are even in Athens 10-10-1. That 9-game winning streak for Tennessee from 1989, 1992-99, excluding looks far off in the distance.

Crawford County election officials posted not just one, but two signs incorrectly stating that voters must present identification in order to cast ballots Tuesday.
The first sign was reported by voters in the morning and steps were taken for it to be removed by late morning.
The second sign was still up at at least one polling place at about 6:30 p.m., according to a voter who called the Tribune. This sign, one green paper and titled "Election News" was less obvious than the first, but the first item it lists reads "New state laws require all voters who appear to vote in a precinct to provide election officials with proof of identification."
This sign, like the one reported in the morning, was put together by county election officials after the state legislature passed a law requiring voters to present id. The signs were put in a packet for election workers but were not removed once a state judge set aside the id requirement for this election.
County election officials have described the inclusion and posting of the signs as an oversight.

Daily Star
---- —
A number of years ago when my daughter was in the Rotary Exchange Program, we visited her in Belgium and took the opportunity to tour Western Europe. As we drove south through France looking for monuments to French war heroes, we noticed a small country called Andorra tucked in the middle of the Pyrenees Mountains, and decided to detour.
Talk about desolate! We were in the middle of nowhere. I was beginning to wonder if this place was going to have electricity and running water. When we stopped at the border crossing, no one was there, so we decided to proceed.
Upon entering the village of Andorra, we were greeted by McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants! This beautiful mountain village was filled with jewelry stores, clothing outlets, every brand of European automobile dealerships, and places to eat that rivaled Manhattan.
We met a family on vacation from Britain. Have you ever noticed that the British speak terrible English? As an example, we say, "extraordinary." They say, and it takes them five minutes to do it, "extraaooordinnaaarrry." Phrases like, "hunky-dory," "blimey" and "tickety-boo" are enough to make you vomit! Despite the obvious language difference, we managed some questions.
In Andorra there is no income, gift, inheritance or capital transfer tax. They enjoy almost 100 percent employment and have the third highest life expectancy in the world. Their standard of living is among the highest in Europe. They welcome more than 10 million tourists a year!
Although Andorra is certainly beautiful, the millions of tourists aren't coming because of the mountains. Europe is full of mountains! It is simply the near-duty-free status and tax haven advantages. Blimey! How can this be? Is it possible that lower taxes and less regulation are a stimulus to business growth?
It appears to be working! A store owner said that they pay a small duty on imports and that is essentially their whole tax burden. There are some small single-digit taxes on certain properties and goods, but that's about it.
I asked him how business was, and he replied, "quite hunky-dory."
"Are you from England, too?" I exclaimed. "Yes, old chap, I'm from Yorkshire! How did you know?" he said.
I replied, "It's elementary, my dear Watson."
As a note, one must reside in Andorra for 20 years in order to be a citizen. Mere birth on Andorran soil does not convey citizenship.
Can you imagine that, little or no taxes and strict citizenship requirements? And somehow, they have 100 percent employment, health care, a great standard of living, and one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world. How is this possible?
Just think what our president and Congress could do for Andorra! Think about it. As my friend the British tourist would say, "blooming marvelous, my Yankee friend. Simply ducky!" With massive taxation, huge stimulus spending, welfare, cash for clunkers, government regulation of business and industry, the sky is the limit!
Let's also add an extensive Environmental Protection Agency to ensure the pristine countryside and mountains are not pockmarked by drilling rigs, industrial wind turbines or outdoor wood stoves. There must be some indigenous species of Andorran mountain toad that needs protection, too!
I can see it already. Andorra's 12 farmers are probably polluting the Mediterranean Watershed with Triple X fertilizer and the manure runoff from her three dairy farms is undoubtedly wreaking havoc with their water supply. We all know emissions from Andorran cattle are a leading cause of global warming.
The Andorran society should also become "multicultural." There must be a suppressed minority somewhere? Wait a minute! I didn't see many Americans there and the ones we saw were young people working in restaurants and bars. We all know that Andorran restaurants and bars are nothing but sweatshops! After all, these young Americans are only seeking a better life and they only take the jobs Andorrans don't want.
I don't think it's too much to ask that 50 percent of the signs in Andorra be in English. They should recognize our holidays, like the 4th of July and Thanksgiving. For the young American-Andorrans who simply can't make it, an agency should be set up of social workers and welfare officials to "level the playing field." If they need health care and cannot afford it, it should be provided at no cost to them.
With these proven government programs and agencies, the Andorran economy will boom and their culture will blossom. It will be hunky-dory and tickety-boo.
I mean, look what they have done for us!

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- China's benchmark money-market rates tumbled Friday after the People's Bank of China made funds available to lenders to ease a credit squeeze, reports said. The one-day repurchase rate fell 3.84 percentage points to 7.90%, while the seven-day rate dropped 3.51 percentage points to 8.11%, the report said, citing data from the National Interbank Funding Center. Bloomberg had earlier in the day reported that the PBOC had injected 50 billion yuan ($8.17 billion) through short-term liquidity operations after some short-term interest rates hit record highs on Thursday.

Frank Robinson could be one of the most underrated men to ever play Major League Baseball. He may be a hall of famer, but when the media talks about the all-time greats, it's not often Frank Robinson's name is mentioned.
Robinson is the only person to win the MVP in bothleagues. He won National League MVP it in 1961 with the Cincinnati Reds, then won the American League MVP in 1966 with the Baltimore Orioles. His teams also went to the World Series in both years. The Reds lost to the New York Yankees in 1961, but the Orioles swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1966, where he was also named seris MVP.
Also in 1966, Robinson won the Triple Crown. He led the league in batting average (.316), home runs (49), and runs batted in (122). In 1956, at the age of 20 Robinson was the National League Rookie of the Year. In fact, the 38 home runs he hit that year are still a Reds rookie record. Robinson was named the MVP of the 1971 All-Star game. That was the game Reggie Jackson hit a home run onto the roof of Tiger Stadium.
Robinson was also Major League Baseball's first black manager. He was the player-manager for the 1975 Cleveland Indians. In his first game as player-manager, Robinson hit a home run in the first inning.
With all the MVP awards Robinson won, it's easy to conclude that "F-Robby" was a big game (and big series) player.
One of the reasons for his success in the moment was his refusal to be intimidated. He crowded the plate and refused to give an inch to opposing pitchers. As a result, Robinson led the league in HBPs (hit by pitch) seven times, including his rookie year.
But making Robinson mad is not what opposing pitchers or players really wanted. After getting into a fight at third base with Eddie Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves in 1950, Robinson hit a grand slam later in the game.
The biggest mystery of Robinson's career is why he was traded from the Reds following the 1965 season. Why would anyone trade a player who had just just finished the season hitting .296, 33 homers and 113 RBIs? Robinson was only 30 years old at the time but the Reds general manager claimed it was "an old 30."
In 1966, the very next year, Robinson won the Triple Crown.
Pete Rose once theorized that race may have had something to do with Robinson's trade. A teammate of Robinson's for two seasons, Rose, who was friendly with fellow black players, once told reporters that Reds management told him not spend time with black players.
Robinson had already experience discrimination by the time he reached the Reds in 1956. Not just in the southern minor league cities he played in, but where he grew up in Oakland, CA. Robinson and his family moved there from Texas when he was just four years old.
There was an unwritten rule in Oakland just like the "gentlemen's agreement" in baseball that prevented blacks from playing in the major leagues; blacks in Oakland could only live in west Oakland. The south takes a great deal of the heat for segregation, but it was practiced in the north and west with machine-like efficiency.
Those who left west Oakland to get a bite to eat could only order "take out." Blacks were not allowed to eat inside restaurants in the 1930s, 40s and the early part of the 50s. And if hadn't been for Jackie Robinson, we may never even heard of Frank Robinson.
Still, what discrimination wrought, may have made west Oakland the most prolific producer of athletes this country has ever seen. Robinson, Curt Flood, Vada Pinson, Paul Silas and Bill Russell all came from the same west Oakland neighborhood. Robinson, Flood and Pinson even played in the same outfield!
Frank Robinson ended up managing a number of teams after his playing days, including the Orioles (where he won AL Manager of the Year in 1989), San Francisco Giants and Montreal Expos. Robinson was inducted into the Major League Baseball hall of fame in 1982.

Northwest Alloys land near Addy provides hay for elk
WILDLIFE – Northwest Alloys land near Addy, Wash., has a hand in feeding elk wintering at the Oak Creek Wildlife Area near Yakima.
For the fourth consecutive year, the Alcoa subsidiary is allowing local farmers to harvest alfalfa from fields adjacent to its curtailed magnesium and silicon plant near Addy so the hay can be donated to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The agreement nets the state about 750 tons of hay a year to feed the elk forced onto the Oak Creek winter range to keep them from damaging private-land crops.

Perfect shape, size and cutting edge is unbelievable. May order another one to use for hair trims...LOL
Feels solid, cuts well and comes apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher
I would prefer that they were made in the USA but so much is deferred to China.
Handles easily with large grips. Allows for maximum power when cutting. Sharp ended blades make precise cuts. I recommend it.
I love the herb-stripping feature, and the disassembly for thorough cleaning is "shear" genius. Love them!

Who would walk on a black roof in their socks on a sunny day?
We did just that this week at the new Taconic Regional Headquarters for New York State Parks in Staatsburgh. But the roof was white and cool, quite literally.
Back in Westchester County, we asked Tim O'Donoghue, a second-generation roofer with lots of large commercial clients, what roof color is most popular these days. "Every new roof we put on these days is white," he reports.
The reasons are simple: a white roof saves money.
A white roof reflects more radiation back up into the atmosphere and absorbs less heat than darker roofs. That means that the roof itself undergoes less extreme temperature conditions over its lifetime.
But, more importantly, the building underneath the roof gets less hot and requires less air conditioning.
On the hottest day of the 2011 summer in New York City, a white roof covering was 42 degrees cooler than a traditional black roof.
The white roof on Taconic Region headquarters also improves the effectiveness of the new photovoltaic system, because the panels operate more efficiently when they are cooler. Solar panels help shade the roof, extending its life. So, white roofs and solar systems have a positive, symbiotic relationship.*
Lighter colors also help on the ground.
The headquarters wrap-around driveway is not the traditional dark macadam, but a porous light colored concrete. And the parking spaces are bricks that allow water to drain in between. So the driveway lowers the typical summer time "heat island" effect and has less winter icing issues a lighter colored and more permeable pavement than tradtional black top.
If you are not in the market for a new roof, there is a low-cost alternative: paint!
As President Bill Clinton noted in Newsweek in 2011, "Every black roof in New York should be white; every roof in Chicago should be white; every roof in Little Rock should be white. Every flat tar-surface roof anywhere! In most of these places you could recover the cost of the paint and the labor in a week."
Check out the White Roof Project for more information about what is happening in New York City. Those of us in the 'burbs can learn from the Big Apple on this topic.
So lighten up when choosing your next roof! After all, it will be up there for 25 years.
(*The renovation of this 1930s schoolhouse by the Parks Department last year set a new standard for lowering operating costs by smart planning. The building renovation efforts combine to produce a stunning low total utility bill of about 9,000 kiloWatt-hours per month for a 31,000 square foot 3 story building with 43 separately controllable heating and cooling zones. They eliminated the old fuel oil boiler and all the old air conditioners, and use a geothermal system instead. But we'll leave that for another column.)

BRADENTON -- Celebrity makeup artist and Bradenton native Stephen Moleski is back in town, and he's offering to share his makeup secrets to everyone from cosmetic aficionados to beginners.
"I want to teach people how they can get the celebrity look -- "the red carpet look" -- without looking like they are wearing a lot of makeup," Moleski said.
He just spent a long stint in Australia doing makeup for Mel B. of Spice Girls fame, who was a judge on Australia's version of the "X Factor." Now he's offering his Master Class next Sunday and Monday at Molinari Models and Talent, 56 S. Palm Ave., Sarasota.
Moleski will teach two looks -- the step-by-step process of how to apply natural, clean, beautiful makeup, and his most sought-after and highly acclaimed "smokey eye" technique made famous by reality star Kim Kardashian, with whom Moleski has worked with for years.
"It's going to be six hours of me doing makeup and answering questions," Moleski said.
Makeup artist Eri Vincent, who is hosting the classes, thinks the event will be a success.
"Stephen does beautiful makeup," she said.
The class isn't cheap --it costs $300 a person, which includes a gift bag for the first 30 people who sign up featuring more than $200 worth of makeup products from L'Oreal, Kevyn Aucoin and Moleski's eyelashes from his new makeup line Smoke & Mirrors Beauty.
The step-by-step teaching
technique in these classes is the framework for Moleski's makeup school that he's planning to open up in Atlanta next year.
Always an artist
Before Moleski became a makeup artist to the stars, he grew up in Bradenton with his family. He would paint and draw exquisite art pieces that his parents adored. As a young boy, he dreamed of becoming a marine biologist.
"I wanted to train dolphins and killer whales," he said.
But after finishing high school, Moleski's career goals changed when he realized that he didn't want to go to college.
"I told my parents that I was going to Orlando, but I never did, I just floated around," he said. "I just didn't know what to do."
After moving to Orlando, he began helping out a local fashion designer.
"He needed help with one of his fashion shows, and I helped out his makeup artist," Moleski said. "I started doing (makeup) more, and a lot of people started tell me that I was really good."
So Moleski attended cosmetology school, then moved to Atlanta. There, he worked for the Dass Salon and a M.A.C. Cosmetics store. He also did makeup for New York Fashion Week.
"I did a lot of creative stuff with the salon," Moleski said. "After about six years, I got bored of doing that."
Moleski's boredom with Atlanta and love for beaches led to him to Los Angeles, where his career as a celebrity makeup artist started by "word of mouth."
"I moved out to L.A. where a girlfriend of mine put me in touch with her girlfriend, who did a workout video," Moleski said. "Within three months of me being in L.A., I was working on 'The Girls Next Door' TV show, doing all the parties and photo shoots."
At the same time he worked for "The Girls Next Door," featuring Playboy head Hugh Hefner and his girlfriends, Moleski also started working for Ripe TV ,where he did makeup for celebrities such as supermodel Joanna Krupa and socialite Kim Kardashian.
"I remember the day that they said that Paris Hilton's best friend, Kim Kardashian, was going to be hosting Ripe TV," Moleski said. "I had no idea who she was."
After Moleski did Kardasdian's makeup for the show, she called him the next day and asked him if he would be interested in doing her makeup again.
"She literally had me come over and get her ready every single day," Moleski said.
With Moleski doing makeup for three prime-time TV shows, his name-recognition grew as celebrities started spreading the word about his artistry.
"Kim referred me to Mel B.," Moleski said.
When Moleski's contract ended with "X Factor" in December, he decided to focus on a new chapter in his career.
"I recently got back from Australlia where I worked with many celebrities, and I wanted to do something that wasn't celebrity-based," Moleski said. "I like education and I like to see women empowered, so I figured that while I'm home in Bradenton I could start my master classes in my home town."
As Moleski focuses on opening his makeup school in Atlanta, he also has plans to expand his makeup line with business partner Niki Toney-Pressley.
"We are already working on lashes to add to the line, and adding more tools that we like to use with the lashes," Toney-Pressley said. "Then we will eventually branch out and do other things, like maybe sable brushes and lip glosses."

The Stone Roses: Made Of Stone (TBC)
30 May 2013
This screening has now sold out.
In 2012 a resurrection no one thought possible took place when legendary band The Stone Roses reformed after sixteen years. Acclaimed filmmaker Shane Meadows (This is England) brings his unique directorial style, humour and emotional depth to a film that captures the band at work and in their everyday lives as they rehearse for their much-anticipated reunion, which culminated in three triumphant homecoming gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park in front of 220,000 fans.
Incorporating never-seen-before material spanning the band's musical history with the personal experiences of many of those touched by the band and their music and making use of unparalleled access to the record-breaking sell-out concerts which took place in summer 2012, this is the definitive record of the band of the last 25 years.
We're delighted that the screening will be followed by a live satellite Q&A with director Shane Meadows and special guests. Please note: there will be no adverts or trailers with this screening; it will start promptly at 19:30.

The Professor is In: Book Remarks
News + Events : The Professor is In: Book Remarks
Book Remarks is a new feature intended to highlight the College's Points of Pride, showcasing books penned by the outstanding faculty and staff in the College of Business.
It is intended to be a brief post of an interesting or noteworthy excerpt from a book authored by College of Business faculty or staff, along with a bit of commentary to provide some context.
In today's selection…
from Engaging Resistance: How Ordinary People Successfully Champion Change, by Aaron Anderson, director of strategic organizational initiatives.
"My research suggests that quality leadership, and more importantly, change champions are critical for solving what ails our enterprise. And, champions can emerge from any layer of the operation from the rank-and-file on up to the top of the institution. When it comes to leading change in our institutions, the grass roots are equally important as those occupying the tip of the Ivory Tower (as if that genuinely exists in this day-and-age).
"The advice for people who either step up or are thrust forward to champion change or more challenging transformation is that you must think of yourself and your initiatives as the virus threatening the corpus rather than the inoculation necessary to save the institution. In many respects, if you don't get resistance, you are not changing. Resistance is like the white blood cells attacking your virus, and a necessary part of the whole functioning organism. If engaged with the right combination of approaches, resistance and resisters can help strengthen the overall end result by improving both the process and the product."
Book Excerpt:
In his classic encapsulation of the sensemaking conundrum at the microbehavioral level, Weick is famous for asking, "How do I know what I think until I see what I say" (personal communication, September 1998)? We may be able to capture the essence of resistance to organizational change and transformation by adding three words to that query thusly: How do I know what I think until I see what I say about your actions? If organizational life consists of a set of interrelated, improvised actions and reactions—the classic Weickian (1979) double interact—which we make sense of and use to determine our next moves, it may be best to conceptualize resistance as an organic response or reaction to change agency rather than as rudimentary behavior that is invariably negative and inherently damaging to change efforts (Burke, 2008; Ford, Ford, and D'Amelio, 2008; Piderit, 2000; van Dijk and van Dijk, 2009; Waddell and Sohal, 1998; Weick, 1979). This is indicated by the dashed lines that go through rather than around the resistance triangle in Exhibit 2.
Traditionally, resistance to organizational change has been thought of as something to be anticipated, minimized, and quashed (Ford and Ford, 2008; Hultman, 1998; Piderit, 2000; Waddell and Sohal, 1998). Fortunately, at the close of the previous millennium, some scholars were questioning the dominant conceptualization by recommending a positive approach to understanding resistance (e.g., Waddell and Sohal, 1998; Piderit, 2000). Waddell and Sohal (1998) suggest that thinking of resistance as only doing harm is misguided at best, and possibly detrimental to a full understanding of organizational life. On the continuum of possible responses to change, resistance behavior is just one of the many identifiable reactions, from completely supportive to vehemently against (Burke, 2008; de Caluwé and Vermaak, 2003).
Piderit (2000) helps us all the way around the theoretical corner by strongly suggesting that the old paradigm for understanding resistance is flawed.
Scholars and practitioners should better view resistance as integral and possibly helpful to every change effort. Others since Piderit have dedicated themselves to carving out new understanding about resistance from this positive conceptualization (e.g., Burke, 2008; Ford et al., 2002, 2008; Ford and Ford, 2009; Goltz and Hietapelto, 2002).
Because the literature had not turned this theoretical corner at the time I finalized the design and executed my study, the research that serves as the basis for this book may be imperfect. However, to paraphrase former U.S. secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld, we all conduct research with the theory we have, not the theory we wish we had. There is, however, an enticing synchronicity between my findings and this new theoretical direction. Perhaps my colleagues and I wrestled identical theory demons at precisely the same time. My hope is that the model building in the later chapters will fill in many of the gaps identified by those writing in the field at the start of this millennium.

Fortress Louisbourg, which is located in the southeastern part of the CBRM, is one of the foremost historic sites in Canada and it is testament to the important early role of Cape Breton in the settlement and development of North America.
Whether it is breathtaking scenery or historic landmarks and exhibits or shopping or entertainment or business opportunities, all of the communities of the CBRM offer interesting and diverse experiences.
Ranging from a stroll along the harbour in the historic north-end of Sydney, which is the largest community in the CBRM, to a visit at the fossil center in Sydney Mines, to an exploration of the Miners' Museum in Glace Bay, or a swim in the Atlantic Ocean at the magnificent sandy beach located in Dominion, there is really no end to the things to do and enjoy in the CBRM.

Ratchet and Clank ImpressionsPosted: October 26, 2007
Well here it goes. I guess the reason that I wanted to really post this was due to Gamespots suggestion that Ratchet and Clank: Future Weapons of Destruction was as good of quality as the famed PIXAR movies. I had to write this because I totally disagree with that! I mean the game looks great, it really does, but there are still some muddy textures, and a few jaggies that really could be fixed up and really does draw you away from the experience, maybe it was because I was told that it was as good as a PIXAR movie that I am now disappointed in the game. But there are also some frame rate issues every now and again. It was really nothing, but I think twice so far I have had like half a second quirks. And for one, in a PIXAR movie, things are flawless. Absolute perfection, and even for Insomniac, they are usually really detailed in that regaurd as well, but it just seems that they slipped up here and just does not pull the whole experience together as well as I would have hoped.
And finally. The gameplay so far is somewhat dull and repetive. Maybe thats just the nature of being what...the 4th game or so in teh series now? It just seems that when the first and second games came out, they were brilliant, just so refreshing, and now they just fell like the same ole same ole with different dialog, and even that is getting a little trite.
Dialog, one thing thats make the Ratchet and Clank games great. I mean Insomniac makes a point to make this game funny for children and adults alike and have done an amazing job with it. But this time around, their jokes seem like they have been told before, and all you can do now is give one of those fake laughs when someone rolls off a zinger.
I am not sure if I have just played too many Ratchet and Clank games, but this game does seem too much like the predecessors in the series. I will play more and bring some updated impressions and maybe even a final word on it.

The recently renovated hotel offers a private cinema for its guests, along with other posh amenities. A TripAdvisor traveler commented, "The Kempinski did not let me down. The rooms, service and food were to-die-for."
LVH - Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada - "Diamonds Are Forever"
Formerly the Las Vegas Hilton, this iconic Sin City hotel served as the "Whyte House" casino in the 1971 film, "Diamonds Are Forever." In the middle of the desert, travelers can cool off by the hotel's pool which offers 18 cabanas and a relaxing 25-seat Jacuzzi. A TripAdvisor traveler said, "Great stay at a great price."
Hotel Cala di Volpe, Sardinia, Italy - "The Spy Who Loved Me"

when I have (2x^(3)-18x)-(2x^(3)) / (x^(2)-9) am I suppose to be left with -18x/(x^(2)-9) or is it just 18x? Please help and thanks!
What are the critical values of f(x)=(x^(7))((x+7)^(2)) and f(x)=7x+6x^(1)?
What are the critical numbers of f(t)=3t^(2/3)+t^(5/3)
I just meant radical for short f(x)=x(x^(2)+9)^(1/2)

Math - sign wrong
The answer is still wrong :(
The answers are wrong for this one.
Use Newton's method to approximate a root of the equation 5sin(x)=x as follows. Let x1=2 be the initial approximation. The second approximation x2 is: and the third approximation x3 is:
Use differential, i.e., linear approximation, to approximate (125.4^(1/3)) as follows: Let f(x)=x^(1/3) . The linear approximation to f(x) at x=125 can be written in the form y=mx+b where m is: m=1/75 b=? How do I find b?
Consider the function f(x)=8(x^(1/2))+7 on the interval [1,5]. By the Mean Value Theorem, we know there exists a c in the open interval (1,5) such that f'(c) is equal to this mean slope. For this problem, there is only one c that works. Find it.
f(x)=2x^(3)1x^(2)+3x2 Find the average slope of this function on the interval (1,7).
If 4x^(2)+5x+xy=4 and y(4)=-20, find y'(4) by implicit differentiation. I got y'=(-8x-5-y)/(x)

Traction Control and Stability
- Electronic Stability System (ESP®)
- This safety breakthrough first introduced by Mercedes-Benz continually monitors your driving inputs and the vehicle's motion to help keep it going in your intended direction, especially in corners and during evasive maneuvers. If it detects wheelspin, severe understeer (plowing), or oversteer (fishtailing), ESP can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle under control.[*4]
Brakes, Wheels, and Tires
Brakes, Wheels, and Tires
- Brakes
- Dual-circuit 4-wheel disc with single-piston sliding front and rear calipers.[*5]
- Adaptive brakes
- Adaptive braking technology integrates a suite of advances. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for more immediate response when you apply the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep water build-up from the discs. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a brake HOLD feature can make long red lights or stopped traffic a little easier.[*5]
- Brake Assist
- Brake Assist (BAS®) senses emergency braking via the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal and immediately applies maximum available power boost. Brake Assist can potentially reduce the overall stopping distance by eliminating the delay caused by a common human tendency not to brake hard enough, soon enough. Letting up on the brake pedal releases Brake Assist.[*5]
- Wheels
- 17-inch 5-spoke alloy (7.5x17 front, 8.5x17 rear)
- Tires
- 225/45R17 front and 245/40R17 rear, high-performance
Safety and Security Systems
Safety and Security Systems
Restraint Systems
- 8-way air bag protection
- The SLK's sophisticated restraint system includes front air bags with dual deployment thresholds, head air bags, thorax side-impact air bags and knee bags for both driver and passenger.[*6]
- NECK-PRO head restraints
- In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, NECK-PRO active head restraints move forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head restraints and the heads of occupants. This action helps to reduce the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.
- Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs)
- If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, the ETDs instantly remove slack from the seat belts.[*6]
Locking & Security
- SmartKey
- The SmartKey remote control integrates remote door locks and trunk opener, a removable valet key, and a remote panic alarm. You may selectively unlock only the driver's door and fuel filler, or both doors plus the trunk and fuel filler. You can close all open windows from outside the vehicle, simply by holding down the "lock" button on the SmartKey remote while aiming it at the infrared sensor in the driver's door handle.
- Night security illumination
- The exterior lights can be programmed to turn on for a preset interval when you remote-lock your vehicle in darkness, to help light a path for you as you leave.
- Antitheft alarm with remote panic feature
- The standard antitheft alarm system is armed automatically when you lock your Mercedes from the outside. It sounds the horn and flashes the exterior lights if a door, the trunk or the hood is opened without first unlocking the vehicle. You can also sound the alarm by pressing the red "panic" button on your SmartKey remote when you're within range of your vehicle.

They have every eligible player's predicted salaries through arbitration for 2012. MLBTR is pretty good at these so the numbers should be pretty solid to go by. For the Rays they have: David Price - $7.8M B.J. Upton - $7.6M Jeff Niemann - $3.1M Joel Peralta - $2.0M J.P. Howell - $1.4M (non-tender candidate) Andy Sonnanstine - $1.1M (non-tender candidate) More and more I see us trading away a few pieces this winter. Check out the article and download the excel sheet. Fun to look at potential arb figures and rosterbate.

Going in 'One Direction'By Joseph R. Atilano
Not since the heyday of "New Kids On The Block", "Backstreet Boys" and "N'SYNC" has there have been such a renewed interest and clamor to once more look for the definitive boy-band. Now, we have "One Direction" to fill out the ranks—unaminously declared by numerous critics, voting polls and of course, the fans, to be the number one boy-band today. Girls, and even some guys, have been going bonkers over these five British chaps.
