Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Diego spent his early years in a New Jersey suburb. Taking him into New York City often, his parents instilled in him a love for art and different cultures. At the age of seven, he and his family moved to South Florida - this move proved to be both a culture shock and a rewarding change. With its proximity and closeness to Latin America, South Florida became a place where Diego was able to connect with his Hispanic heritage.
Discovering his sexuality in middle school, Diego stayed in the closet until his junior year in high school, fearing he wouldn't "fit in" or make new friends if he was candid about his sexual orientation. He excelled in academics and athletics and in high school became involved in community service as a member of the Youth Leadership Broward Foundation, the secretary for his local chapter of Best Buddies and a Community Liaison for his high school's National Honor Society (NHS). As Community Liaison, he co-led his NHS Relay for Life Team, raising money for the American Cancer Society. Amid all his community service, Diego never lost sight of his academic career graduating 19th in a class of over 1,300 students.
Diego attended Columbia University and majored in architecture. He hopes to eventually own his own architecture firm, and will continue his involvement in the LGBTQ community and be a positive role model to gay youth. Diego is also a member of Point's Board of Trustees.
Point offers mentorship, leadership development and community service training to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) students.

Video: Donations needed to help Grand Island family
Video: Help a Grand Island Family
GRAND ISLAND, NY -- The outpouring of support has been amazing. On Monday, November 5th, a fire ripped through the Ray family's apartment on Grand Island.
The family lost everything, including their three pets. Linda Smith says she is just happy that her boys, eighteen-year old, Christopher Ray and sixteen-year old Daniel Ray are fine.
Chris was home alone at the time. He was taken to ECMC with smoke inhalation and minor burns.
This family knows all too well about loss. One year earlier, to the day, Linda's husband, the boys' stepfather, passed away.
Now, without renter's insurance, Linda Smith and her boys, Chris and Daniel Ray are left with nothing. But the community is helping.
The Grand Island School District has raised around $1,000 from dress down and hat day. The junior class has raised $350. The community has also stepped up. Park Avenue Coat company has given Linda and her boys free winter coats. Hizzair Hair Salon has offered free haircuts and a make-over for Linda. They are also have a cut-a-thon on December 1st at their Grand Island Salon. All of the proceeds for every haircut will go to the Ray Family Fund.
The Supervisor of Grand Island, Mary Cooke, is also helping. She has offered to open the Town Hall as a drop off point for much needed items for the family. Cooke hopes the community will come to the aid of this family.
The Grand Island Neighbor Foundation has also donated $1,000 to the family to help them rebuild their lives. Some other businesses have helped including: Dick and Jenny's Restaurant, Ficel Transport, Budwey's, Hizzair as well as countless individuals.
The Grand Island High School and Town Hall are open for drop-offs during regular business hours.
So far nearly $6,000 in cash and gift cards has been donated to help the family.

Intermix's Crystal Torchio and CEO Khajak Keledjian
Intermix's first boutique on Canadian soil launched back in August, but the US retailer only officially celebrated last night with a shindig fit for Hollywood actresses, top Canadian designers and models, all-around fabulous people and…me. Far from the civilized breakfast date I had with CEO Khajak Keledjian when the store opened its doors, yesterday's fête replaced coffee with free-flowing wine and an audience with Keledjian with a set by rapper Theophilus London.
It was a very well-attended affair. Keledjian was there, of course, with the rest of the Intermix Toronto team, as well as his co-hosts from The Coveteur. Oh, and actress Jessica Chastain, who I missed completely somehow. The ubiquitous Greta Constantine team was out in full force, as were big name Canadian models who've walked the runway for them, Tara Gill and Naro Lokuruka. The other two-thirds of my "blogger troika" (dubbed as such by FASHION's Randi Bergman), being Styleblog.ca's Nelia Belkova and Stylehog.com's Julia Seidl, kept me thoroughly entertained until Theophilus London took over that job.
Give the gallery a gander for party photos. I spied lots of Versace for H&M, just as much Joe Fresh and even a little bit of VAWK (OK, that last one was me)…

By Jackie RossGrand JunctionColo.
After reading the letter to the editor by Mr. Warren (Letters to the Editor, Must Defend Free Speech, June 29, 2010, Sun Advocate), I was enticed to read what President Obama had to say about the media and free speech. I read the entire speech and the only statements about the media I found in it was this:
"Bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't rank all that high on the truth meter. With iPods and iPads; Xboxes and PlayStations; information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment. All of this is not only putting new pressures on you; it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy."
Now, what that sounded like to me was the truth (to any intelligent thinking individual). The majority of the remainder of the speech was about the value of education and open-mindedness and to correctly quote our president," America wouldn't work if its citizens were uninformed, if its citizens were apathetic, if its citizens checked out, and left democracy to those who didn't have their best interests at heart. It could only work if each of us stayed informed and engaged; if we held our government accountable; if we fulfilled the obligations of citizenship."
So my response to your letter Mr. Warren is this. Is President Obama not entitled to that same freedom of speech you claim is being lost?
In this great country of ours you are entitled to use such terms as "lap puppies, demonize, internet Czar, assault, threatening, etc---in reference to the President. What a shame that you do have those rights, because those words spew trash and hatred and are so un-American. Turn off your TV and start thinking for yourself.
You don't have to agree with the President on any issue, but have some respect for yourself as a citizen of this country.

Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - The homeless man charged with shoving a man to his death as a train barreled into a Times Square subway station says the victim instigated the confrontation.
Naeem Davis, 30, was arraigned Wednesday night on a second-degree murder charge and ordered held without bail in the death of 58-year-old Ki-Suck Han on Monday.
As he walked past reporters, Davis said, "He attacked me first. He grabbed me."
Prosecutor James Lin told the judge that Davis watched the train strike Han before leaving the station.
But Davis' Legal Aid lawyer, Stephen Pokart, said outside court that his client reportedly "was involved in an incident with a man who was drunk and angry."
Davis is due back in court on Dec. 11.

I can't begin to put into words how good it felt to wake up this morning. After two long years, I was finally back on the train. I missed out on the NYE show and the Hampton runs due to the mad rush for tickets, and I got shut out of the first night of this Cincy run due to the same reasons. However, I thanked my lucky stars that Phish Tickets By Mail gave me three tickets to at least one of the shows this tour, regardless of their placement behind the stage.
It was raining this morning but my Jeep Cherokee didn't seem to mind the weather. He headed from Erie, PA to Columbus, OH with no problems, then after a quick lunch got back on the road with no grief. However, as we rounded the bend in Cincinnati and could actually see the venue, the truck started giving me beef. Our hotie was just inside Kentucky, about ten minutes from the arena, so we had to make it there first thing. As I rounded the bend the engine in the Jeep started hesitating, and as I got off the highway and into the residential area where our hotie was located, all sorts of things started going wrong. I could smell a burning odor coming through the heating ducts, my windshield wipers began leaving black trails on the windshield, and the Jeep's engine pretty much just wanted to stop.
I pulled into the parking lot at our place of lodging and turned the engine off with a thunk. We checked in and took our stuff to our room, and I spent the rest of my down time before the show driving my Jeep around the parking lot, hoping that it was just tired from being driven for six hours straight. It wasn't cured. However, I wasn't about to miss the show, so we drove the ten minutes back into Cincy with the engine hesitating and all, parked it in a garage and tried to forget about it for awhile.
As we made our way from the garage to the venue, we had to walk up a flight of stairs outside a parking garage that seemed to be attached to the arena and connected by a skywalk above. We climbed the stairs through the freezing rain and in each level of the garage there was a huge lot party going on. Lots of balloons and beers, and lots of "wooks" breathing in car exhaust. All along the way there were people looking hard for tickets, making cash offers of more than $100.
Finally we made it into the venue and found our extremely uncomfortable seats. We were behind the stage at somewhat of an angle, and my companion Nick thought this was terrible. Frankly my girlfriend Jamie and I thought this was great. We were at an angle enough that we were looking at the side of the band's heads, not the backs, and we were really close to the stage. As people filed in, an energy began to build. It was super-positive, as if everyone in the room had been away for too long and was set to have the time of their lives. Security was non-existent, pretty much making it possible to get away with anything you might want to get away with. This relaxed atmosphere really added to the overall scene inside the arena.
As the lights went down the crowd erupted into a deafening roar. In all of my years seeing Phish I have never heard a crowd this loud before. The band took the stage and tore into "The Sloth", driving home some good old-fashioned hard rock for the people. The band then dusted off "Dogs Stole Things", a fun song to hear especially if this was your first show in two years. After that, Trey began to strum the chords to "Piper" and this got the ball really rolling for a night of jamming. The crowd was on their feet and going nuts. The band stretched out quite a bit and really touched on some nice thematic jamming. You could hear the tease from a mile away, and when they finally launched into the first-ever stand alone "Weekapaug Groove" out of "Piper" the roof came off the place.
The segue was executed perfectly and served as a great nod to the night before, when they played "Mike's Song" with no "Weekapaug". As the "Weekapaug" jam came to an end, the band had to wait a minute or two for the insanity to die down before they could continue. Both "Piper" and "Weekapaug" were played as though they were show closers and it was only four songs into the first set. Trey brought the crowd down a notch or two with a beautiful rendition of "Dirt" before they headed into a comical "Scent Of A Mule". "Scent" featured Page's patented klezmer jam, and then Fish pretending to play his drums behind his back, before the band busted into the Hebrew jam section complete with dance steps.
After "Scent", a version of "Walls Of The Cave" from the new album Round Room began. At first I wasn't too keen on this; however, it worked its way into a very tasty extended jam section with lots of inspired noodling and proved that, given time, it would be another wonderful jam springboard. The band brought us down once again with a fantastic "Mist" and then ended the set with a well-placed and well-executed "Sample In A Jar". As the band took its bow the audience went crazy, cheering for quite awhile despite the house lights going on. The crowd spent the setbreak attempting the wave, and it was actually successful more than once.
The band took the stage once again to a warm welcome, and after a touch of noodling slammed into "Tube". Phish seems to save this tune for the really good shows, and this was a really good version with the blues section featuring some nice old school guitar work by Trey. As "Tube" came to an end, the band revved up what was to be one of the best jams of the tour nestled inside a thirty minute long "Bathtub Gin". After the lyric section, the jam began with the typical guitar solo. However, in mid-flight some genius threw a glowstick directly at Trey, who stopped his solo and caught it before it smacked him in the face. He then tossed it back into the audience and began again; however, his next attempt only lasted a few moments as another glowstick almost clocked him one. He picked that one up and tried chucking it back into the audience behind his back but ended up just hitting someone in the face. Anyway, the jam continued and reached places no other version of "Bathtub Gin" had ever reached before. There was ambience, rock grooves, dark noodling, and the works. At one point it was like they were vamping the main theme but each one doing so at a different tempo.
After the jam of the night and by far one of the best jams of the tour, the band completely killed the energy by playing "Friday" from the new album, which has proven itself to be the ultimate throwaway song. The band made a successful dive to bring back the energy by busting into an intense jam-filled "David Bowie" featuring Trey tearing up the intricate guitar lines in this composed masterpiece of progressive rock. After a raging "Bowie", the band decided to end on a low note with an exquisite yet poorly placed "Bug". The band left the stage and came back for the encore, counted off and jumped right into "Suzie Greenberg", much to the glee of the fans. The chorus echoed throughout the venue as everyone and their brother sang along, before Trey settled into a ripping solo that lead into the "Suzie" Funk that had us all getting down to the last song of the night. As the band brought the song to an end with a roar, the audience cheered and cheered and reached decibels of an overwhelming measure.
We left the show and I was so thankful that I drove the six hours for such a great time and that Phish was able to keep my mind off of my Jeep for a few hours. We drove back to the hotie with (surprisingly) no problems, and then woke up that morning and searched the phone book for a garage that was open on Sundays. Luckily the last one I tried was open and I took it there, waited four hours, and then got charged $500 for a tune up and new spark plug wires.
Although I clearly got ripped off, I was treated to a great show and I learned a valuable lesson: if I decide to go on a road trip that is longer than four hours, I'm riding with somebody else.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Galvanized by Connecticut's tough new gun law, activists in Maine are focusing their efforts on pushing for stricter gun laws here.
Thursday in Portland, faith leaders, moms and other community leaders are speaking out for the need for more comprehensive background checks for gun sales.
Activists say because Maine doesn't require background checks for guns sold at gun shows and through private owners, the weapons are falling into the hands of criminals, including those who have been convicted of domestic abuse.
Members of the Maine Council of Churches, Mayors Again Illegal Guns and Moms Demand met to discuss the need for stricter gun control laws in Maine and across the country.
The group says universal background checks for all weapons could save lives, especially for people who are dealing with domestic abuse from their partners. Activists say a study by USM's Muskie Center found that 30 percent of people in Maine are rejected from purchasing a gun from a licensed dealer, becasue they have been convicted of domestic abuse.
Activists say criminals are still able to get their hands on a gun by buying it from a private dealer who is not required to do background checks or keep any records.
The groups are also lobbying federal lawmakers to support legislation that bans assault weapons and high capacity magazines.

Belfast International has taken a total of eleven aircraft diversions from Dublin Airport because of heavy overnight winds.
Three Aer Lingus, five Ryanair and one British Airways opted for Belfast as winds caused havoc in Dublin.
An Aer Lingus flight from Copenhagen landed in Belfast, re-fuelled and tried to complete the journey to Dublin but had to be diverted a second time to Belfast.
Belfast Operations Director, Alan Whiteside, said the airport was more than capable of handling the eleven diversions, the most the airport has had in any one night so far this year.
Mr Whiteside said: "We've been the airport of choice for diversions not just in Northern Ireland but across the entire island.
"We operate a 24-hour a-day airport and have the personnel, space and capacity to accommodate airlines if they have to seek shelter from inclement weather.
"Our scheduled services continued as normal as we found space on our apron for the eleven aircraft.
"In total, we dealt with well over 1,000 passengers who weren't able to complete their journey to Dublin from GB and mainland European airports".
