Port St. Lucie City Council members and city staff, along with members of the media, tour Tradition Studios in Port St. Lucie Wednesday morning. The tour, led by former Digital Domain Media Group Finance Manager Nick Ruiseco, was intended to help council members and city staff better market the building to potential tenants. Digital Domain Media Group filed for bankruptcy on Sept. 11, four days after the special effects and computer animation studio laid off 346 employees.
Nick Ruiseco (right), a former finance manager at Digital Domain Media Group and current employee of the estate, describes some of the features of the outside of Tradition Studios in December 2012 while leading Port St. Lucie City Council members, city staff and media on a tour of the facility. Ruiseco, who worked for the visual effects and computer animation company for 2 1/2 years, said after remaining in the building for about three months following the company's layoffs and through recent auctions, the shock has worn off.
Port St. Lucie City Manager Greg Oravec takes a closer look at an airplane wing table while touring Tradition Studios Wednesday. The table recently sold for more than $10,000 during an auction by Heritage Global Partners.

Since 1987, the hotline has connected thousands of callers with testing and HIV/AIDS services—key to the early detection that is helping more and more people live with the virus and disease.
But state officials say there are far better ways to encourage people to get tested for HIV/AIDS than continuing to spend $75,000 for a hotline. They want to stop funding in March, when the current contract expires.
Improved antiviral drugs have made living with HIV far from the death sentence it once was for Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, says Michael Anderson-Nathe, director of prevention and education at Cascade AIDS Project (CAP), which runs the state's hotline.
But Oregon already lags behind the nation when it comes to diagnosing HIV/AIDS early.
Nationally, about 32 percent of all HIV diagnoses are late stage—meaning the patient already has AIDS at the time of the HIV diagnosis, or develops it within 12 months of diagnosis.
In Oregon, state records show, it's 37 percent.
"That means they were living with HIV for seven to 10 years before they got tested," Anderson-Nathe says. "That's several years which they didn't know they had HIV and could be transmitting to partners."
The Oregon Health Authority estimates an additional 1,200 Oregonians living with HIV do not know their status. Right now, 5,213 Oregonians live with HIV/AIDS, and there are 275 new HIV infections diagnosed each year.
Fifty-five percent of Oregonians diagnosed with HIV/AIDS live in Multnomah County.
Kim Toevs, manager for HIV, STD and adolescent health in Multnomah County, says it's the wrong time to end the hotline.
"Testing has become a key area of focus," Toevs says. "If people who are infected know about it, they have a really awesome system of care to enter."
State officials say they would keep funding the hotline if it were making that big a difference.
"We're having to look at everything we pay for to make sure that it's cost-effective and make sure it's the best thing for protecting public health," says Ruth Helsley, Oregon Health Authority's HIV prevention program manager.
In 2011, Helsley says CAP got $75,000 to operate the hotline, plus $10,000 for a public information campaign.
At its peak in 1994, CAP says, the hotline fielded 10,219 calls. But the number of calls and online chats dropped to 882 last year—and Helsley says that comes to $89 a call.
This year, calls have dropped further. It now costs about $100 a call.
"That's a lot," she says.
Helsley added that data from the hotline "isn't correlating with increased testing numbers." She says the Oregon Health Authority wants to better target at-risk populations by funding HIV testing, condom distribution and needle exchange, and by linking those who test positive to heath-care providers.
Anderson-Nathe says the state's math excludes the 11,000 visitors the hotline's website received in the past two years.
Callers to the hotline at 800-777-2437—open 9 am to 6 pm weekdays and Saturday from noon to 6 pm—speak with volunteers who can connect them with testing services, clinics or counseling.
Without the state contract, he says, CAP will have to get rid of the one staff member who handles the reporting and tracking of cases, and oversees the 15 hotline volunteers.
Along with the hotline going cold, he says, the website would no longer offer live chat and wouldn't be updated with the latest information.
Toevs says the hotline gives callers anonymity-—allowing people at risk, as well as family and friends, a sense of protection. "Sex and drug use are still stigmatized," she says. "It can be hard for people to admit they may be someone at risk."
That's the crux for Anderson-Nathe—AIDS prevention and treatment is losing steam just when social services know how to tamp it down.
"We have the science, information, technology and tools," Anderson-Nathe says. "What stops us is a lack of political will and resources."

Penguins 3 Islanders 2 (SO) — Pluses and Minus from gut-wrenching defeat
After Tuesday night's 3-0 loss to the Penguins at Nassau Coliseum, Islanders head coach Jack Capuano was hoping to find the chemistry needed to jumpstart an offense that had only been able to generate an NHL-low eight even-strength goals through seven games. Instead, the second-year head coach made a move that many would call unorthodox, as he pulled starter Evgeni Nabokov and replaced him with back-up Rick Dipietro during Thursday evening's shootout against the Penguins at Consol Energy Center.
Unfortunately, neither worked, as the Islanders squandered a 2-0 lead with 19 minutes remaining, as Evgeni Malkin slid a wrister past Dipietro – playing in his first game of 2011-12 – during the shootout to extend the Islanders' winless streak in Pittburgh to 12 (0-10-2), as the Penguins defeated the Islanders, 3-2, winning the skills competition, 1-0.
Penguin netminder Marc-Andre Fleury stopped Islander forwards Frans Nielsen, P.A. Parenteau and John Tavares in the shootout to secure his seventh victory of the season. He made 17 saves, including nine in the third period.
Nielsen led off the scoring for the Islanders late in the first period, as he pounced on a loose puck from in front of the Penguin net and slid it under Fleury. The play was started by a great pinch by captain Mark Streit, whose shot onto the Penguin goal deflected off the heel of Islander winger Kyle Okposo into the waiting arms of Nielsen.
Following a scoreless second period, in which Nabokov stonewalled the Penguins 13 times, many coming from point-blank range and with countless Penguin forward being draped all over him, the Islanders extended the lead to 2-0, 45 seconds into the third period. Islander forward Matt Martin, stationed in front of Fleury, grabbed a rebound of a Steve Staios slapper from the right point, and slid it under Fleury.
Then the onslaught began. Or you can say the giveaways commenced.
Penguin forward Chris Kunitz scored his third of the season, 44 seconds after Martin's tally, as he slid behind Islander defenseman Travis Hamonic and tucked a rebound past Nabokov. Pascal Dupuis' effort to get behind Islander defenseman Andrew McDonald keyed the play.
The Penguins would tie the score at 2, controversially, less than three minutes later on the power play, as James Neal scored his ninth goal of the season and 22nd in October over the past three seasons, on a gorgeous tic-tac-toe pass from Penguin defenseman Kris Letang to Malkin, who found the wide open Neal to the right of Nabokov. The Islanders had numerous opportunities to clear the puck, but couldn't.
The debate that led to the Penguins' tying goal was whether they should've been on the man-advantage in the first place. Okposo was clearly shoved into Fleury by defenseman Brooks Orpik, yet the zebras saw it otherwise and sent Okposo to the sin-bin for goaltender interference.
The Islanders were able to muster their best offensive pressure over the final 10 minutes of regulation, but Fleury matched Nabokov's play in net, by swatting the Islanders' final eight shots away.
Adversely, that sustained pressure was non-existent through the game's first 40 minutes, as the Islanders were only able to muster nine total shots.
With the victory, the Penguins (8-2-2, 18 points) have now extended their winning streak to five, while the Islanders (3-4-1, 7 points) are now winless in four.
The Islanders return to Long Island on Saturday evening, when they play host to the San Jose Sharks. They will honor the 1992-93 Eastern Conference finalist team before the game.
On to some of the positives and negatives in the +/-
+ Travis Hamonic- Other than John Tavares, he is Garth Snow's finest pick since the rebuild began. He played 25:22, and is unquestionable the team's best overall defenseman. He blocked a team-leading five shots, and shadowed Malkin and Penguin forward Jordan Staal. Can you believe that he is only 21 years old? Wow.
– Odd man rushes – Throughout the game, the Islanders had numerous 3-on-2 odd man rushes. Can they please hit the net once. That statement is squarely aimed at Blake Comeau, who missed the goal on a few of thouse rushes.
+ Nabokov – He saved 30 of 32 shots, and could easily have been named the game's top star. Is there really a goaltending controvery anymore.
– Okposo, Bailey and Comeau – This seems to be a nightly mention, but they continue to do too much on the offensive end. All three are thinking too much, and it is evident by the amount of turnovers all three commit on the offensive end.
+ John Tavares – While he was unable to hit the scoresheet, he is definitely not 18 anymore. He took the play at both Letang and Orpik. Can you honestly say that Tavares, as a rookie, would've done that?
– Puck Clearing – How many opportunities did the Islanders squander in clearing the puck. I noticed four times that Bailey would try to spin around a Penguin, and lose the puck. The Islanders had three opportunities to clear the puck on the Penguins' tying goal, but didn't.
+ Milan Jurcina – His presence was noticeable from the onset. As he decked Penguin forward Matt Cooke before he entered the offensive zone, I was thinking if Jurcina stays healthy, Mike Mottau will become quite comfortable in the team's suite.

Judge sets bail at $2 million for man who admitted to shootings
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Police documents say the main suspect in the case, 19-year-old Lameiro Flores, admitted to shooting the two victims Monday afternoon near the Naches River.
A judge set bail at $2 million for Flores. His family objected to allowing cameras in the courtroom, but the judge allowed them.
Flores told police he shot the victims, a 17-year-old boy and 18-year-old Jobany B. Martinez, because he claimed they had assaulted him in the past and feared they would do it again.
The documents also reveal that Flores told police he was swimming with friends and brought a .45 caliber gun with him because he had a "gut feeling."
Flores saw the two victims who told him "catch you later," according to the documents. He told detectives he took that as a threat.
Flores also told investigators that he shot the 17-year-old once, walked up to him and then shot him in the head.
He told them he then turned and shot Martinez in the head and he would have shot a third man but he ran away.
Police recovered Flores' handgun which they said was concealed in his car.

The Dino-Mine Adventure Park finalized a goal of our Special Quest team.
Special Quest is a group of community volunteers who for the past four years have attended weeklong trainings in Denver, Colo. Our team focus has been to make our community more aware of children with disabilities and encourage event planners and organizations to provide activities that would be inclusive for all children.
We would like to commend all those who were involved with the Dino-Mine Park. The entrance is easily accessible, the high back bucket seat swings, the sandbox and the slide all bring great joy and excitement to our children with disabilities. It is great that the committee shared our vision of having an inclusive community that allows all children and families to live enviable lives. We look forward to seeing continued growth in our community.
Carbon County really is a great place to live.

So, I was reading le Bible this morning, when suddenly I see mention of SCYTHIANS! O_O
I was like, "Man, Raptor Jesus, what the heck is this Brikwars business all up in my Bible?" and he was all like, "Uh, I dunno."
So I googled it.
"Gregorovich said that there may be a relationship between the Scyths and Scots."
Man, so, this is pretty awesome. Did you guys know about this? Because I didn't know about this, but it was a pretty interesting way of discovering said information.

Washington Wizards center Jason Collins made history by being the first active NBA player to come out as a gay man -- and now, another out star is applauding his "brave" decision.
Ellen DeGeneres dedicated her monologue on today's show to the basketball player, highlighting the importance of the news.
"You have no idea what a big deal that is. He's the first professional athlete to reveal he's gay while he's still playing," says Ellen ... who couldn't resist a joke or two during her heartfelt opening. "It was more challenging for him. He is 7-feet-tall so when he came out of the closet he had to duck.
"I applaud you, Jason Collins, I applaud you," she continues. "That is a very brave man. I would high-five you but I don't think I can reach you. But when I see you, I am gonna hug your knees so hard."
Because of you there's a little boy playing basketball right now who knows he can be who he is and play the sport that he loves," adds Ellen. "Now that little boy's only obstacle is that he's gonna be 5'4" and terrible at basketball. But you've done your part, so."

WR Hill Out Against San Diego, Keller Doubtful
The Jets passing offense has been a problem all year, and unfortunately due to injury, the new Jets starting quarterback Greg McElroy will be without two of the team's top targets this Sunday against the Chargers according to Kimberley Martin in Newsday.
Stephen Hill won't be healthy enough to play by Sunday, according to Rex Ryan.
That means the rookie wide receiver who missed two games earlier this season because of a hamstring injury will miss his second game in a row with a knee sprain.
Ryan isn't sure yet if Dustin Keller (ankle) will be able to face the Chargers.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comIt's going to be tougher for McElroy to get the job done in the air without Hill and Keller, but Braylon Edwards should be able to mitigate the loss of Hill somewhat. Keller on the other hand is a great target for a young quarterback who is looking to get a mismatch or dump the ball off on a shorter route who is going to be in his field of vision more of the time. It's just a guess, but the Jets offense will most likely look like it did again when McElroy came in during the Arizona game and during much of the Jacksonville game — meaning a lot of running plays compared to passing plays so while the loss of Hill and Keller hurts, hopefully it won't hurt as much as it could if they needed to throw the ball more.

REPORT: Islanders Close to New Contract with Center Frans Nielsen
A story on the Danish website, TV2Sport.dk reports that the Islanders are close to re-signing Frans Nielsen. Nielsen has a cap hit of $525,000 this year and is slated to become an UFA on July 1. Here's the Google translation of the important parts of the article:
New York Islanders are in negotiations with Frans Nielsen to a new contract for the Danish center that has a contract expiring after the season.
Although Frans Nielsen probably has a good opportunity to get to a team that has more chances to come out on top in the NHL than his current team, so is Frans Nielsen initially committed to finding a solution to continue at New York Islanders.
– There has for some time been negotiating with New York Islanders for an extension. Francis has after all been six years in the Islanders, so there is an ongoing dialogue between Francis and the Islanders. And then we will see what comes out of it, says Frans Nielsen's agent, Bjarne Madsen for tv2sport.dk.

The easiest and most straightforward method for setting up replication is to use new master and slave servers.
You can also use this method if you are setting up new servers but have an existing dump of the databases from a different server that you want to load into your replication configuration. By loading the data into a new master, the data will be automatically replicated to the slaves.
To set up replication between a new master and slave:
Configure the MySQL master with the necessary configuration properties. See Section 126.96.36.199, "Setting the Replication Master Configuration".
Start up the MySQL master.
Set up a user. See Section 220.127.116.11, "Creating a User for Replication".
Obtain the master status information. See Section 220.127.116.11, "Obtaining the Replication Master Binary Log Coordinates".
On the master, release the read lock:
On the slave, edit the MySQL configuration. See Section 126.96.36.199, "Setting the Replication Slave Configuration".
Start up the MySQL slave.
Execute a
statement to set the master replication server
configuration. See
Section 126.96.36.199, "Setting the Master Configuration on the Slave".
Perform the slave setup steps on each slave.
Because there is no data to load or exchange on a new server configuration you do not need to copy or import any information.
If you are setting up a new replication environment using the data from a different existing database server, you will now need to run the dump file generated from that server on the new master. The database updates will automatically be propagated to the slaves:
mysql -h master < fulldb.dump

|[Delete] [Edit]
I would like to clarify my understanding of the above scheme a bit, in case it may help someone else to get a better understanding. Hoping that I don't bring further confusion to the table.
I was a bit confused over this section since it talks about new servers and existing data in a way that to me was a bit similar to the other sections that talk about loading a snapshot on the slave and then starting replication from a specific binlog position.
The scheme above is intended to work only on new servers, which are either empty, or loaded with data from a sqldump file. The replication starts when the server is at zero and then the statements loaded from the dump file are replicated as the binlog starts filling.
The above scheme should also work for setting up replication against servers that have all the binlogs in place, i.e. hasn't deleted any of them. Deleting binlogs may be done after backing up the databases to preserve space.
Also, I think that there could be some more information on what configuration should be done in CHANGE MASTER on the slave as suggested in step 8.

|[Delete] [Edit]
CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='ServerIP/FQDN', MASTER_USER='ReplClient', MASTER_PASSWORD='ClientPassword', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000001', MASTER_LOG_POS=98;
|Posted by David Hirst on March 18 2010 2:31pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
Don't forget that at the very end of the slave configuration process to use "START SLAVE;" or else you will sit there wondering why the two servers are not doing anything!

|Sunday Celebration for '30 Years of Mast'
|Written by Steve Frank
|Saturday, 05 June 2010 10:01
Sunday marks the 30th anniversary of the date that the original Mast General Store in Valle Crucis re-opened, John & Faye Cooper returning a treasure to the community.
Commemorating that, Mast is having a celebration Sunday starting at noon. At 1:30, there's a toast to the effort and to the future, with the public invited to share messages and memories, experience the tastes of Mast, and enjoy live music. Mast folks are calling the event a 'community get-together,' and are hoping for a good turn-out.

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. -- There's a new gas station at the intersection of Walden Avenue and Union Road in Cheektowaga, and it is grabbing the attention of more than just drivers low on gas.
The Green Frog opened on the busy intersection near Walden Galleria last Friday; its price per gallon was $3.86. It's gone down more than 30 cents, and nearby gas stations Delta Sonic and Jim's Truck Stop have matched the price at each decrease.
"We're just trying to get everyone's attention," said Michael Borrello, the owner of The Green Frog's son and a shift manager. "And I think it's working."
Currently, Jim's Truck Stop is matching The Green Frog at $3.55 per gallon, and Delta Sonic is keeping its price one penny less, $3.54. On average, it takes Delta Sonic about three hours to decrease its price of gas after The Green Frog does, according to Borrello.
Borrello said he hasn't heard any complaints from the owners of the two competing gas stations, which are each within less than a quarter-mile distance from The Green Frog.
"Actually, we're kind of curious ourselves as to what they think," Borrello said. "But it's all in good fun, we're having a good time over here and we're meeting a lot of people."
At some gas stations around Buffalo, regular gas is $3.85, like Valero in Town of Tonawanda. But Borrello said The Green Frog will keep the price of gas at a low cost for as long as it can.

Rosenberg's Department Store Santa Rosa's Moderne Jewel By Paula Cook The Rosenberg department store building in Santa Rosa is the city's last true "Deco" period dazzler, a shining "streamline modern" architectural jewel that rose from the depths of the depression. Fred Rosenberg was a visionary who sought to utilize modern architecture to enhance his family store and Santa Rosa's downtown. Many generations of Rosenbergs were in retail sales, but the Rosenberg building was truly a monument to them and their community. The building itself has an interesting pre-history which led to its construction in the 30s. Max Rosenberg, after leaving his uncle Rolf Rosenberg's mercantile operation in Healdsburg in 1887, began his own department store in San Francisco. His business operated as Rosenberg Brothers and was located between Third and Market Streets. The partner in his first venture was Max's younger brother, Isidore Rosenberg. The brothers expanded, opening additional stores in St. Helena and Woodland. Max, however, soon decided to locate a store in Santa Rosa. It's been said that he became impressed with the town while attending the local Rose Carnival, as the Rose Paraded was once named. After Max's Near completion in 1939, Rosenberg's department store was for years the tallest building in Santa Rosa, it's tower lights visible for miles at night.

|More Info
In the near future, a hostile alien race called the Formics have attacked Earth.
If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander Mazer Rackham, all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Hyrum Graff and the International Military are training only the best young minds to find the future Mazer.
Ender Wiggin, a shy but strategically brilliant boy, is recruited to join the elite. Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult challenges and simulations, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military's next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he's trained by Mazer Rackham himself to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.
"Against considerable odds, this risky-sounding Orson Scott Card adaptation actually works, as director Gavin Hood pulls off the sort of teen-targeted franchise starter Summit was hoping for." - Peter Debruge, Variety
"Ultimately as much a polemical as tentpole entertainment, "Ender's Game" is a rare example of filmmaking with a scalpel at a scale that usually demands a hatchet." - Todd Gilchrist, The Wrap
"Whatever you make of the book's widely derided author, Ender's Game is one of 2013's more thematically original stories, with a compellingly icy lead performance from Asa Butterfield." - Catherine Bray, Film4

Comments about CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack:
This was my first time using a hydration pack and wanted a large reservoir for hiking Half Dome. The 14 mile training hike on the Ozark Trail proved that I made the right choice with the Lobo. Filled to its 3 liter capacity, I had plenty of room for snacks, cell phone and other supplies. There are so many possible adjustments that it felt like it was made just for me. It was comfortable and didn't put me off balance for climbing over big rocks or up and down the Missouri "mountains". I'm female, 5' 0", and would be an ideal weight if I was a foot taller.

It's almost silly how easy it is to love Jessica Alba. She is irrefutably gorgeous and routinely captivates us with her diverse on-screen roles, plus her innate personal style is a breath of fresh air on the Hollywood scene. Whether she steps out in a festive, nipped-waist frock for a red-carpet event, or is spotted running around town in perfectly pulled together off-duty looks, the silver-screen star embodies the sort of effortless polish that we love to showcase. Yet, Alba's superb taste is not just relegated to her well-assessed wardrobe; as Revlon's Brand Ambassador for nearly five years, the top-tier actress is also a bonafide beauty aficionado too! It's no wonder then that we'd choose to make this yummy mummy our illustrious December Guest Editor--and just in time to coincide with her latest role in Little Fockers which hits theaters this month.
While Alba's nonstop career has allowed her to portray a wide variety of personalities--everything from a hip-hop dancer with a heart of gold (how can you not love Honey?!) to an ingénue to a superhero to a tough-as-nails immigration officer in the recent thriller Machete--in the third installment of the hilarity-inducing Meet the Parents franchise, she flexes her acting muscles once again as an in-your-face pharmaceutical rep falling for Ben Stiller's character. Yet, while Alba's on-screen shenanigans may have us rolling on the floor, her sartorial picks are no laughing matter! This starlet is serious about style this season, starting with Narciso Rodriguez's Resort 11 collection, which caught her eye with its '90s-inspired flair. In light of the holidays, she's also in the market for some party-perfect pieces like Preen's Bridget Dress ($2032), which was another one of her stellar selections! As for the rest of what our enigmatic Guest Editor adores this festive month, well, you're just going to have to read on to find out!
Joya Reserve Caprice de la Mode Candle ($32)
Alba gets an A+ when it comes to etiquette; after all, she spotlighted this lavender and cardamom-scented candle as an ideal hostess present for the holiday season--one she would find equally delightful to give as well as receive. We couldn't agree more with this tasteful selection; an elegant addition to any room, this refined candle is sure to elevate and add a touch of the exotic to any surroundings.
Anndra Neen Cage Circle Ring ($145)
Inspired by French medieval armor and accented with spikes or cage detailing, Anndra Neen jewelry has a definite edge. Yet, the baubles' handcrafted aspect instantly upgrades these mixed-metal pieces to make them feel like a work of art. Alba clearly loves these museum-worthy adornments as she was recently spotted at the American Music Awards using the Checkered Choker ($575) and the Ying Yang ($475) and Mini Cage ($395) Cuffs to add tough-girl panache to her Cushnie et Ochs architectural, one-shouldered frock. As such, it's no surprise that she also adores this ring!
Revlon Top Speed Nail Color ($6) in Emerald
Alba has been the Brand Ambassador for Revlon since 2007, which means that in addition to starring in numerous global campaigns, she also lends her time to philanthropic activities such as last May's Revlon Run/Walk. This January will see her extending her beauty duties to be the face of the new Top Speed Nail Enamel line which includes this Wizard of Oz-worthy gemstone hue, available at your local drugstore January 11th. We love the mesmerizing green color--it's an ideal accent for Resort's minimalist and floral-print pieces--and will easily leave others green with envy and lusting over your marvelous manicure!
Vince Rugby Sweater ($265)
Alba can't live without her cozy sweaters, and routinely pairs them with everything from skirts to leggings, depending on the day. To add some seasonal flavor into her knits, she's reaching for this sparkly, striped Vince sweater, which is sure to get any outfit in the holiday spirit!
Nobody Cult Skinny Jeans ($209) in Junkie
Skinny jeans are undoubtedly a closet essential, and we could dedicate days searching for the perfect pair! Luckily, Alba did the dirty work for us and sleuthed out Nobody's light blue version as her denim of choice. It's a savvy choice; this Australian cult brand has quickly seeped into the denim consciousness, with sightings on fashion favorites like Rihanna and Zoe Saldana, in addition to our Guest Editor herself. The strategically distressed bottoms have the perfect amount of stretch, so they're readily adaptable to whatever the day brings, meaning that "Mom jeans" they are anything but!
Jeffrey Campbell Daisy D Shoes ($140)
We're longtime fans of Jeffrey Campbell's chunky boots and wild wedges, so we were accordingly elated when Alba selected one of the brand's new spring shoes as her footwear du jour. The petite starlet loves the chunky platform for the extra leg-lengthening boost, while the cheetah pattern is in perfect keeping with the recent animal-print craze.
La Mer Crème de la Mer ($230)
We like a lady who's loyal to her products, particularly when they truly perform. Alba owes her dewy complexion to this celebrity-adored standby, so we know it's definitely investment-worthy to say the least!
Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Bridget Dress ($2032, 305.864.0202)
As seasoned stalkers of Alba's top-notch style, we know she often flips for a frock with a fitted bodice and A-line skirt. Thus, we weren't surprised when she selected Preen's runway stunner for her festive holiday fare. The crimson hue is spot-on for the soiree-studded season, while the full-skirted shape is refreshingly au courant. Try Nanette Lepore's Ingrid Dress ($368) or Zara's Tulip-Skirt Dress ($169) if you, too, would like to get your hands on a vermillion party frock; all three would look excellent with lace-up black booties for a directional cocktail look.
Narciso Rodriguez Essence Iridescent Eau de Perfume ($78)
While having a go-to scent is always a must, we appreciate someone who isn't afraid to mix it up and dabble in something new. With this in mind, Alba selected Narciso Rodriguez's latest spring release--a floral, powdery fragrance with notes of iris and rose. The light and feminine scent is quite versatile--Alba enjoys that it is equally appropriate for day or night--plus the mirrored bottle is seductively unfussy, and will look sleek amidst the collection on your countertop.
Coach Greta Glam Beret ($98)
A chic chapeau is an absolute necessity as the weather turns frigid--or to stealthily disguise day-old hair--and this offering from Coach is just too cute to pass up! Alba already has it in her accessory arsenal; she just wore it for an appearance on the Today Show earlier this week, expertly using it to punctuate a wintery look consisting of a gray dress, a charcoal coat, and a masterfully knotted light gray scarf.--Liza Kaplan

Submission No Transmitting Aliens Detected in Kepler SETI Search->
astroengine writes: "By focusing the Green Bank radio telescope on stars hosting (candidate) exoplanets identified by NASA's Kepler space telescope, it is hoped that one of those star systems may also play host to a sufficiently evolved alien race capable of transmitting radio signals into space. But in a study headed by ex-SETI chief Jill Tarter, the conclusion of this first attempt is blunt: "No signals of extraterrestrial origin were found." But this is the just first of the "directed" SETI searches that has put some very important limits on the probability of finding sufficiently advanced alien civilizations in our galaxy."

It came to me quite by chance - the FSM must have accidentally swiped me with his Noodle of Knowledge this morning.
I was cheering with some of my fellow Pastafarians on GooglePlus, (I'm Amber Petchey, if you want to join my Pastafarian circle) as an Italian market has come into town and they have a MIGHTY supply of carbohydrated treats, including some wonderful rainbow coloured spumoni. Needless to say, I have stockpiled on Noodly treats of all kinds, and am spreading the good word.
Literally - my partner and I have some Mormons coming to visit on Monday. They're coming to tell us the Good Word of the Pear of Pride - so we're introducing them to His Carby Goodness. We gave them a basic idea when they came knocking yesterday, and they're wanting to come back for some more!

DRAFT LOTTERY Q & A: William A. TorreyThe Architect on Potvin, Tavares and Hedman
Bill Torrey didn't have a Draft Lottery to deal with. When the Islanders finished last overall in their inaugural season of 1972-73, the general manager knew he had the No. 1 pick in the NHL Draft. He had another advantage.
"Back then we were drafting 20-year olds," Torrey said over the phone today. "My scouts and I were evaluating players based on four full years of junior hockey. That's a big difference from drafting 18-year olds who are still growing."
The conversation continued…
I wanted to catch up with you to get the truth behind this legend of "The Architect built around a top defenseman first"! My point is, you had Denis Potvin staring at you with that pick. Maybe if you had a stud forward and not an all-world defenseman as the clear-cut first pick, you would have taken the forward.
That's not entirely true. Denny Potvin was special, no doubt. But Tom Lysiak was the best forward available, and there was plenty of sentiment at the time for him to be taken first overall. Of course, Denny went on to have a Hall of Fame career, while Tommy was an excellent player, a 25-30 goal scorer for Atlanta and later Chicago. To put it in perspective, Denny was dominant in junior and Tommy Lysiak was coming off two big seasons in Medicine Hat (143 and 154 points). Potvin and Lysiak were 1-2 in no particular order in the eyes of many people.
Sounds kind of familiar.
Yup. They'll be talking about John Tavares and Victor Hedman for years.
What swayed your decision toward Potvin?
We figured the great defenseman, especially in the big games, was going to play every other shift, play more than half the game. Even the best forwards don't match that time on ice. We went with the defenseman because we knew he'd be out there all the time for us. Look at Anaheim when they got Chris Pronger and Scott Niedermayer.
So are you saying the team that gets the first pick should take Victor Hedman?
No. When you're picking first overall and you have two kids of this magnitude, it's okay to assess what your needs are.
What if you need everything?
Now you're trying to get me to make the first pick for a team! (Laughs) I'm not going to do that. I've met Tavares and Hedman each once. I've watched them play. It's a very close call. They're both going to be impact players. They are supremely talented and have played on the world stage. Tavares has dominated junior. Hedman has been excellent as an 18-year old playing against men in one of the best pro leagues in the world.
Do any other prospects in this draft compare?
Tavares is clearly the best 18-year old forward in the world. Hedman is clearly the best 18-year old defenseman in the world. That's all there is to know.
But all things being equal, seems you're saying teams should go with the defenseman.
It's just not that simple, kid! Okay, I'll give you this: it's harder most years to get that great defenseman. There are usually more forwards who can put the puck in the net. But defensemen take more time to develop. And now with the CBA, by the time they mature and have got it all figured out, they're free agents!
Look, this is why you have a scouting staff and testing and one-on-one interviews. You have to put everything into the equation: maturity, personality, toughness, strength. If the GM and his scouts determine one of the kids has clearly got it over the other, you go with him. You don't get caught up in defense vs. forward. Sometimes you have to go by feel. Take the player who best fits your team.
Sounds like you feel the Islanders can't go wrong whether they win or lose the lottery tonight.
No one's going to feel sorry for them if they get the No. 2 pick in the lottery. They're still going to get a hell of a player. If they get the first pick, it will be a difficult decision but it's a problem they won't mind having. No matter what happens, they'll get a franchise player and they will be on their way.
Comments. Guidelines. Point Blank will be on NHL Home Ice on XM Radio tonight at 6:00 pm and on News 12 Long Island immediately after the lottery winner is announced around 8:20. The segment will be replayed at 9:20 pm. We'll join you in the discussion on the blog all night.

Dr. Robert Bocian's Ratings
Dr. Bocian is both very knowledgable, and very responsive. He's been my doctor for five years and is the best allergist I've ever met.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][759957].votes_count ]]
Dr. Bocian is the best! He is so much more knowledgeable than other physicians out there. I have a medical background and am difficult to impress. Dr. Bocian helped my daughter with her ezcema when other derms could not. He is so thorough with explanations and details and he emails his advice so one can read it again at home and in the future. He is so warm and at ease that patients don't feel rushed. One downside is that he often runs late due to his thoroughness. He really cares about his patients rather than it just being a day job.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][759956].votes_count ]]
This allergist helped me when MANY other allergists have failed. He is open to new ideas, has unusual and very effective treatment therapies. He is compassionate, listens carefully and really cares about you. He answers email, and responds very quickly. I don't praise doctors very often, but Dr. Bocian really deserves this praise.

I bought this jacket because I really liked the look. I already owned another (much cheaper) Nau jacket, and I am a fan for life now. Rock creek doesn't have an image of the Seaweed Plaid version, but you can check it out on Nau's website. I have gotten a lot of complements for it.
Anyways, the main downside? Cost. I bought it at a 15% discount here, which is why I ordered from Rock Creek specifically. It's an excellent jacket, but still too expensive for what you get. I'm not returning it though!
Also, unlike my previous Nau jacket, this one is not machine washable or waterproof. It is however much warmer, perfect for the winter months in the bay area in California. My only complaint quality-wise is that the wool part is a bit itchy, particularly around the neck. I wish the nylon inner lining went up a bit higher to the neck to prevent this.
Anyways if you're like me and care about quality above all else and don't care about cost, get this jacket. Otherwise if you want a Nau jacket, the Vice blazer is $100 cheaper, looks even better and is waterproof (though it is not nearly as warm as this jacket), and the Nau profile jacket is more than $200 cheaper!

I thought I would try segmenting some of the aspects of a forum guitar to see if we might converge on something in little steps. First up the woods for the neck. A while ago I wrote up some of my experiences with different neck woods - highly subjective and personal, but I'll share a link to them.
In the poll I deliberately left out some exotics like Braz and perny because I think it pushes the price to high, but feel free to write in alternatives I left out. In fact, I propose to use the poll as an easily visible trend marker, but I will periodically tally a top 3 write in list. I suggest writing in up to 3 favourites that you would consider acceptable.
I've used a naming convention of neck wood - fingerboard wood
My wordy write up with photos of each is here: Peter's thoughts on playing different necks woods

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.
Scholarship applicants click Apply below
All questions and concerns can be addressed to Jonathan Rosales, Selections & Scholar Support Manager.
No. Point's application deadline for Part I is 11:59 pm Pacific on January 20, 2015. In order to move forward and thoroughly read the large number of applications that are submitted in a timely manner, late submissions are not accepted and extensions are not granted. There are no exceptions. If scholarship applicants are invited to submit Part II, it must be received no later than 11:59 pm on February 2, 2015.
Although the exact numbers vary from year to year, the Point Scholarship application process is highly competitive. In 2014, Point received nearly 2,100 applications. In the end, 23 individuals were selected to join Point's Class of 2014.
Point's online application system automatically sends each applicant a confirmation email when their online scholarship application is received. Scholarship applicants who are selected as semifinalists will be notified by February 19, 2015 at the latest. Please be sure to check your spam folder just in case. Scholarship applicants who are not selected to move forward will not receive any further email notifications from Point. If February 20 has passed and you have not received any notification from Point, it is safe to assume that you were not selected as a semifinalist.
Early scholarship applications are always appreciated by Point's committee of scholarship application readers. Early submission also increases the likelihood of early notification of whether an applicant has advanced to the semifinalist round, allowing for more time to gather the required semifinalist supplementary materials. However, each and every scholarship application that is submitted by the deadline of 11:59 pm Pacific on January 20, 2015 will be evaluated equally by Point.
No, scholarship applications may only be submitted online. Scholarship applicants are strongly encouraged to obtain an email address to facilitate quick and efficient communication. Free email addresses are available on the internet at websites such as Yahoo and Gmail.
No, online submission is the only manner in which scholarship applications are accepted.
No. However, graduate applicants will have the option of including either SAT or ACT scores in the testing section of their scholarship application.
If the institution you are attending or hoping to attend requires standardized tests, applicants must submit those scores on your application. Point's online application accommodates both the old and new SAT score formats. Applicants who are applying for support for graduate and post- graduate studies must submit test scores required by each respective institution that they hope to attend (e.g. GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, and MAT). Copies of test scores printed from the official testing organization may be submitted.
If an applicant currently attends or hopes to attend an institution which does not require any standardized tests, Point's online application has a designated space to indicate you will not be submitting test scores.
If you are applying to a variety of institutions in which some require and some do not require testing, applicants should indicate that on their applications and submit for verification by Point ALL test scores that are required by each institution for admission. If standardized test scores are required for admission to an educational institution for which you are hoping to receive Point support, official verification of your scores must be submitted if you become a semifinalist. Semifinalists need only submit verification of test scores for the university or college for which they are hoping to receive Point financial support, specifically if that school requires them for admission. For instance, if you are selected as a Point Semifinalist and the law school to which you are applying to requires LSAT testing for acceptance, you must send to Point your LSAT scores but not prior test scores related to your undergraduate admission. Semifinalists will be required to either mail, or email the online score report provided on collegeboard.com, or submit the appropriate testing organization verification with the other required supplemental material. Point highly encourages you to email the online score report.
No, only semifinalists may send supplemental materials to Point Foundation after their application has been successfully submitted and after they have been selected by Point's Selections Committee as semifinalists. All other materials sent prematurely by applicants will be discarded.
Applicants are not required to submit supplemental financial information unless they are selected as a semifinalist (please refer to the Mailing-Required Supplemental Material section).

First there was the anti-Western Westerner, the hate-America-first crowd, and the self-loathing white person. Now we have the anti-human human, who, like General Ursus in Beneath the Planet of the Apes, seems to think that "the only good human is a dead human!" Of course, the Kum-Gaia-singing misanthropes don't actually say that; rather, as David Attenborough recently opined, they assert that man is a "plague" whose burgeoning population threatens to do to the planet's resources what the feds do to the treasury. Now, I already pointed out in a recent piece that Attenborough is factually wrong: The world will in the foreseeable future likely face a population implosion, not an explosion. But he is philosophically wrong as well.
There is no doubt that we should be good shepherds of the Earth. We have a responsibility to conserve resources when possible and should cherish God's creation. And while we can acknowledge that we all too often fail in that regard, it is quite another thing to call man a "plague," which clearly implies that he is a troublesome life form deleterious to something more important. Yet the issue here isn't just that some ascribe greater value to the Earth than to man, or at best equal value. It is the larger questions of why they believe the Earth has any intrinsic value at all and the basis on which that value is assessed.
If you were a Christian, you'd presumably believe that the world had value because it was a gift from God; you would also likely believe that man had greater value and had been given a mandate to subdue the Earth. This is clearly not the position of the man-as-plague (MAP) crowd, however, which tends to operate under a worldview of atheism, either stated or implied. A corollary of this is that "man is the measure of all things," which, of course, means that man is the only agency around to ascribe value. What follows from this is that the Earth, that curious arrangement of atoms, has no intrinsic value; it is only that man happens to value it. This is precisely, by the way, why some philosophers explicitly say that absolute intrinsic value doesn't exist.
