Hot Gossip
Whitney and Bobby's Daughter Responds to Tabloid's Drug Claims
By Kat Giantis
Have the decades-long, career-destroying addiction problems of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown come full circle for their daughter, Bobbi Kristina?
On the eve of her 18th birthday, the pop music scion has found herself spread across the pages of the National Enquirer amid claims she's "hooked on cocaine and booze" -- claims she adamantly denies.
"Family and friends fear that if she doesn't get help soon, she'll die," warns the tabloid, which features photos of someone who looks like Bobbi Kristina seemingly snorting lines of a powdery substance.
"Krissi [her nickname] is addicted to cocaine," alleges an unnamed former boyfriend, who gave the snaps (supposedly taken at an Atlanta-area house party) and the story to the tab. "I've tried to stop her, but all she said was, 'I'm just like my mother!'"
Says the source, who contends that Bobbi Kristina also enjoys Budweiser and grain alcohol, "Whitney needs to see what her daughter is doing to herself."
RELATED: Whitney through the years
But Bobbi Kristina, who posed with her mother last month at Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy party (left), took to her Twitter to deny the allegations, insisting a vengeful ex has framed her.
"The pictures -- a former very dear person to me did this," she tweeted on Wednesday. "Set me up to make it look exactly what it looks like. God will smite them yes. But it's really not what it looks like. People will do anything for money which is extremely sad, and I'm very hurt by this."
Calling it "a horrible relationship that went sour," Bobbi Kristina says she was "in love [but] he was in love with money. I've learned my lesson. … Things people do these days to hurt others is a shame. All I can do now, is keep my head up high, keep looking towards the lord."
She also takes issue with insinuations that her mom's well-known crack record might have negatively influenced her. Whitney is an "incredibly phenomenal mother," gushes Bobbi Kristina. "My mom just comforted me to the max, and I'm so thankful for her."
And she predicts that karma will take care of her ex: "He'll get what he deserves, which is hell."
Bobbi Kristina has had her share of tabloid troubles through the years (and we don't just mean being made to participate in "Being Bobby Brown").
In 2008, the Enquirer claimed that shortly before her 15th birthday, she made a suicide bid after attempting to stab Whitney during an argument.
In December, the tab alleged that Whitney and Bobby, who divorced in 2002 after 15 years of epically dysfunctional marriage, had staged an intervention for their daughter after pics of her partying were leaked. They denied any such event had taken place.
In a candid 2009 interview, Houston told Oprah that she's been open with Bobbi Kristina about her own struggles with substance abuse, and even took her to a mother-daughter rehab center.
Said Whitney, "I didn't lie to her."
During that same sit-down, Bobbi Kristina revealed she wanted to follow in her mother's footsteps as a singer: "I know she hates it, but it's the plan. It's my plan. Mine. Yeah."

Even supposedly centrist Democrats such as Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh are willing to use the marriage penalty issue to stick it to homemakers. While his GOP gubernatorial opponent, Rep. David McIntosh, promotes comprehensive pro-marriage tax reform, Sen. Bayh introduced yet another Democratic marriage tax cut on April 4 that only two-income couples can apply for. Under Bayh's proposal, like Clinton's, a one-income family making $50,000 will pay much higher taxes than a two-income family with the same income.
That is Daschle's final objection to the GOP marriage tax cut: "60 percent of the Republican benefit goes to those who have no marriage penalty -- in fact, who have a marriage bonus." He means those undeserving homemakers living on a median family income of $33,000 a year. The claim they get a "marriage bonus" has been repeated ad nauseum, but it is complete hogwash. Think about it: If those homemaking married moms were not married, they would be single mothers, eligible for a whole host of federal benefits, from welfare, subsidized medical and child care, to the earned income tax credit.
Just what is it with these Democrats? Propose ending the marriage penalty in a way that's also fair to homemakers, and suddenly that's just "too much" money for marriage tax relief?

True, that.Originally Posted by PhotoJim
Some would disagree, but I take your meaning.Gear is concrete. It's physical. It's quantifiable and describable.
"Shall I compare thee to a summer day?"How do you describe what is beautiful? Really, you can't. You can show people... but you can't tell people.
Seems like some folks have managed to convey nearly-universal concepts of beauty using the written word. Some might say that they are even more beautiful, because they cause the reader to construct what they think is beautiful in their own minds. A photograph or a painting might be beautiful to only a certain segment of the population and repugnant to another.
How beautiful was Helen of Troy? If we knew with certainty what she looked like, many might find her unlovely. But we know a war was launched over her (in the story), and in our minds, we create a woman whom we do think of as beautiful.
What are these rules of composition? To me, they are not arbitrary or made-up, they are attempts to describe common experiences - how things 'look photogenic' to use your term. So if you are following your instincts, surprise, that's where the rules came from to begin with. They are merely a way of attempting to codify what we all seem to experience - a time-saver, a shortcut to wisdom usually gained only by hard work and experience.When I see a scene that looks photogenic... I just feel a certain way. I don't think about it in a rational sense. I get out a camera, I explore possibilities, and I shoot. I move the scene around in the viewfinder (or move the camera around the scene), play with lenses, play with filtration, based on my instincts. Eventually I usually get what I was seeking when I first saw the scene.
Some do, some teach. Many are the writers about photography who are criticized not for what they write, but for their supposed lack of photographic ability.It might be interesting to watch me do this... but I doubt it would be interesting to read what I wrote about doing it.

...Deciding on the right size to slice things into is a balance thing, and to me this was on the too short side.
That said, I'm sorry for the pay the bills part; I frankly just blindly assumed you were ad-supported (which I don't see due to Adblock - and yes, TrekToday is an exception in my Adblock rules) because it's the usual reason you see pagination this extreme. I definitely should have checked, so boo me.
I guess I should have framed things a little better instead of getting to the criticism part so quickly, too, so here it is again: I really enjoyed your interview, I'm grateful you talked to CBS Digital for us, I'm looking forward to the upcoming installments, and for that matter, I also think your site rocks pretty hard. I'm really sorry if I dampened your mood over what should be a happy occasion, I really didn't mean to. I was just communicating the - relatively minor - negative aspect I had in my user experience as a suggestion for improvement, in the spirit of one developer to another. It's a habit as much as anything.
- The CBS-D interview is sliced into exactly the same sizes as the Okuda interview from a few months back.
- TrekCore is entirely non-profit and has NO revenue. We remain ad-free and are entirely dependent on donations to pay our bills.
Sho, I know you are normally very appreciative and engaging with our content, but your comments really pissed me off. I understand in this day and age everyone wants information instantly, however you really have to appreciate just how limited my time is to put it out there.

Maybe Technicolor has those 2 seconds of footage in a vault somewhere...or not lol
I thought this was a very exciting revelation from Sarah and Wendy. There was a lot of concern early on that there would be large chunks of upscaled footage each season (especially after the 13 seconds from SoTF), however it now seems that it was an exceptional circumstance which led to the 2 seconds being lost from S1.

So what was the big surprise?
I noticed a "Niel Wray head of 3D" listed. Am I going to be seeing the Borg in 3D?!
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in this case 3D simply means that Neil Wray is in charge of the department that deals in "true" CGI (ie: The Crystalline Entity) as opposed to 2D effects like matte paintings, phaser shots and the like.
Edit: Whoops, apologies to Trekker4747, who already said the same thing.
Niel Wray is head of 3D, he gave us the
Crystalline Entity from "Datalore" and is working on other CGI creations where the original CG files have been long lost.

That and the fact that there was little there we didn't already know...
There is a LOT we know already thanks to the fantastic documentary on Season 1.
However, "little that we didn't already know" is plain wrong! Lots of information is new... questions about film condition, where the film is going after it's been scanned, the fact that CBS went back to the Paramount Archive for the movies footage (that was a big bone of contention early on, with many fans thinking the stuff had to be recreated) and the nice bit of history about the 2 seconds from Season 1.

Roberto Cavalli flew to Japan this week to oversee the opening of his first free standing boutique in the country.
The designer is optimistic about expanding his presence in Asia. "Japan has held its own, it made Prada rich, it made Armani rich, it made Versace rich at one time," he told WWD. "Today it does so to a lesser degree, but I'm convinced that tomorrow it will make Cavalli rich."
During the store's grand opening, 70 year old Cavalli was in good spirits. "I'm young. I have another 50 years of life," he told a reporter before estimating that meant he has about 15,000 sexual encounters left in him.
Roberto, if nothing else, certainly knows how to make a splash. Since his famous over-the-top leopard prints require a certain attitude to pull off, we're interested to to see how he fares in Tokyo. But honestly, with that type of confidence, how can he fail?

As I mentioned previously, we are planning on making the full standalone version of the service pack directly available to WSUS shortly (it's been available for the last couple months in the MU catalog). Before we do so, we would like to give you one last reminder to install the WinVerifyTrust update (KB 938759) if you are running your WSUS server on a Windows 2003 Server or else approving SP1 will result in the binary being continually re-downloaded to the server.

Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.
A grainy, dark photo of a doctor slumped over after he was apparently unable to save a 19-year-old patient is going viral.
"An ER doctor steps outside after losing a 19-year old patient," reads the caption on the photo posted to Reddit on Thursday.
NickMoore911, an EMT, wrote that a fellow EMT snapped the photo.
"The man pictured was unable to save one of his patients," wrote Moore. "Though this is a common occurrence in our field of work, the patients we lose are typically old, sick, or some combination of the two. The patient that died was 19 years old, and for him, it was one of those calls we get sometimes that just hits you."
Moore says he received permission to post the photo on Reddit, which has received over 3,500+ comments. He wanted to share it publicly because he believes it sheds light on what it's like to be in a life-and-death profession.
Many other EMT workers shared similar stories in the comments.

The Mayakka Pines Golf Club's Facebook page has erupted over the sight of a giant gator crossing the putting green. This massive reptile was spotted making a run for it and instantly became an internet sensation when we stopped and posed for the camera!
WOW That is HUGE!
I know I would have personally freaked out if I were to have stumbled upon such a dinosaur!
Yesterday, Fool.com released an article which pointed out 7 stunning figures about the marijuana industry. And man, are these numbers crazy!
1. $699 million in combined sales
In 2014, recreational and medical marijuana brought in $699 million in total sales for the state of Colorado. Comparatively, this was 21% higher than the $578 million in marijuana sales estimated before the year began, according to the Legislative Council of the Colorado General Assembly. However, it still represents just 0.25% of Colorado's GDP, which totaled a whopping $273 billion in 2013, the sixth-highest in the nation.
2. $76 million in combined tax and licensing revenue
More importantly, the previously mentioned $699 million in sales translated into $63 million in tax revenue for the state, as well as an additional $13 million in licensing revenue to legally sell the product.
One of the primary reasons marijuana was legalized on both the recreational and marijuana front was to help the state bridge budget its gap. This combined $76 million could ensure that government workers keep their jobs, or it may even be used to help support the state's Obamacare marketplace exchange, which costs an estimated $26 million per year to operate and maintain.
3. Recreational marijuana comprised 36% of total sales
Medical marijuana may have been legal in Colorado since Nov. 2000, but recreational sales are what came out of the gate roaring in 2014. By the end of the year, recreational marijuana comprised 36% of total marijuana sales.
But, here's the interesting thing: Despite an increase in recreational sales, medical marijuana sales weren't affected. In other words, the marijuana market expanded and accommodated this new pathway to purchase marijuana. One thing the number don't tell us is whether these recreational customers are previous customers of the medical dispensaries, but the primary point here is that the marijuana market in Colorado is rapidly expanding.
4. More than 500,000 plants were cultivated each month
Along the same lines as the previous point, the average number of retail (i.e., recreational) plants produced per month skyrocketed eightfold from January to December to more than 200,000. Medical plants grown dropped slightly from February through December, but the total number of marijuana plants grown per month rose steadily throughout the year to finish at more than 500,000 per month as of December.
5. 2.85 million units of edible retail products were sold
One area where retail marijuana crushed medical marijuana was in infused products. Edible marijuana-infused retail products surpassed the sale of medical marijuana-infused products for good in April and never looked back. By the end of the year, edible recreational products had totaled 2.85 million, compared to 1.96 million for the medically infused market.
6. 99.2% retail homogeneity test pass rate
One concern about legalizing marijuana across the state had been the consistency of the product. With so many legal growers, regulators want to ensure that the consumer was getting a consistent product in terms of THC content. Of the 2,261 homogeneity tests performed at the retail licensing level, 99.2% passed, while 98.2% of the potency tests administered on edible retail products wound up passing. The key point here being that legally grown marijuana appears to be adhering to strict regulatory growing standards.
7. 249 jurisdictions still ban marijuana
Lastly, it's an oft-overlooked fact that even though Colorado voters legalized recreational and medical marijuana, it still remains illegal in 249 local jurisdictions throughout the state. Marijuana sales have been robust because highly populated cities such as Denver and Colorado Springs have allowed the sale of the drug, but the reality is that about three-quarters of the state still bans either recreational marijuana, or both medical and recreational marijuana. It's a stark reminder that legalization could be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve nationwide.

Yup, these are truly awesome and inspirational. I could only wish to be this talented. Tattoo Artist are some of the most talented, intelligent people on earth! These tattoos just blew me away!
The movement to legalize pot has been a long and tiresome one. Big Pharma doesn't want it legalized because it challenges their ripe profit margins. The morality police have their reasons. The sheep are in line to help carry it on the anti-pot messaging. That said, we've made huge strides towards adapting this freedom and the momentum is favorable towards the pro-pot crowd.
But it wasn't always that way. Let's look at some old anti-pot messaging that today we will find totally laughable.
Those people were awesome. Like really awesome.
Wow. That Custodian was totally awesome. I also take from this 70's commercial that pot will make you a really bad dancer. That may still be true (sorry pot lovers).

Say what? Those hippies were smoking the exact same thing we were smoking: THC. There is absolutely no difference from now to then, other than some enhanced ways to grow it, much the same as we have with fruits and vegetables. People are smart and come up with more sophisticated methods for everything.

Because marijuana gives you the munchies, people assume smoking it will lead to people gaining weight. But the science just doesn't support that. The appetite enhancement found in pot is actually medically useful as many sick people, people taking chemo for example, need the boost in appetite.
Um, many athletes are found to be pot smokers via drug testing. NBA and NFL players are by no means lazy. Check that, folks!
So apparently, the DEA feels that cannabis will lead to some pretty crazy stoned rabbits. You can read about that here . We came across a recently posted article from the Metro.co.uk about the dumbest rejections to making this wonder cannabis plant legal. These have been taken from a variety of ads and anti marijuana campaigns and some of them are really far out there.
1) Smoking weed makes white women sleep with black men
This was actually one of the earliest arguments against weed, employed (frequently) by boss of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, Harry Anslinger.
'This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and others,' he said.
2) One joint makes you criminally insane
Watch Reefer Madness. The guy smokes a joint, then is put in an asylum 'for the rest of his natural life'.
JESUS! This stuff should totally be illegal!
3) 'It's not the same as the weed I smoked at Woodstock'
Anti-weed activists frequently claim that skunk is a totally different drug.
But it's actually the same chemical – THC – just in a new, hybrid form of the same herb.
Arguing that the two are totally different, and should have different legal status, is like saying that beer should be legal and vodka should be Class A.
4) It turns you into a crazy Mexican
The fear of turning into a Mexican, or behaving like a Mexican, seems to have consumed early anti-dope activists.
'All Mexicans are crazy, and this marijuana is what makes them crazy,' a prohibitionist senator said.
5) The munchies will lead to an obesity epidemic
So says American maniac Nancy Grace, based on zero evidence.
(Spoiler: it won't).
6) Dope makes you lazy
Barack Obama admitted to smoking it.
He doesn't seem THAT lazy.
7) Weed causes crime
Actually, in Colorado, which legalised recreational use of marijuana, the opposite has happened.
Overall, crime has fallen by 15% and murder has dropped by 50%.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Seniors at a New Mexico high school have voted to hold a prom with a communism theme, which they've dubbed "prom-munism."
KRQE-TV in Albuquerque (http://goo.gl/x2zXLb ) reports that Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School students voted online this week for the theme.
Senior Sarah Zachary says many of her classmates are jokesters and they wanted the prom to be funny. But She says lots of students also are intense about politics.
Obenshain says he plans to talk to students to make sure that the communism theme is something they want to embrace.
Sophomore Cole Page says she didn't find it funny.
The prom is scheduled at the Albuquerque Aquarium on April 25.

New Condo Spotlight: Cromley Lofts
Take a tour of a new eco-friendly condo building in Old Town.
Kate Nerenberg
A former warehouse in Old Town Alexandria is home to Virginia's first LEED-certified condo building. The condos include a long list of sustainable features, including recycled pine floors, bathrooms tiled in recycled glass and limestone, and bamboo cabinetry. Carved out of an industrial structure built in 1910, the units are light-filled and open, with few walls—the bathroom is the only room that is completely private.
Cromley Lofts
: 1210 Queen Street, Old Town
Number of units
: Eight—two one-bedroom penthouses and six two-bedroom units
: Penthouses are $610,000; two-bedroom, two bath units range from $535,000 to $645,000
: Penthouses have a 2,000-square-foot rooftop deck with gardens and views of the George Washington Masonic Temple. Energy Star appliances, with features such as dual-flush toilets and water-saving faucets, save residents about 20 percent on their electric bill and 30 percent on their water bill.
Special touches
: Gas fireplaces, soapstone kitchen countertops, and marble bathroom sink countertops. Much of the original warehouse, including brick and wooden support columns, is visible inside the units.
: Two blocks from King Street, the condos are a five-minute walk to the King Street Metro stop on the Blue and Yellow Lines.
: Two two-bedrooms have sold

Pressure to win is nothing new for Hockey Canada. But that pressure will only be heightened this year.
The Canada national junior team summer development camp gets underway Sunday just outside Montreal in Brossard, Quebec. It's there that 41 players will take their first few steps to earn a chance to play in the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championship, which begins Dec. 26 in Montreal and Toronto.It's one thing to represent Canada in the WJC, it's quite another to do it at home. Playing the tournament in Canada's two biggest cities adds another level of pressure to this year's event.
Canada coach Benoit Groulx of the Gatineau Olympiques in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League knows this. But four months before the start of the tournament, he's not worried about the pressure.
In fact, he's embracing it.
"A lot of people are talking about pressure, and I think pressure is good," Groulx said. "It means we have a chance to win, it means we have a good team. There are teams who come to this tournament who say they have no pressure, but that means they don't think they will win. So for us, it's a positive. We are very aware of how big this will be, and that will be on the agenda for our week with the players. We're going to talk to them about it, but the players are also very aware of all that."
Canada has not medaled at the WJC since winning bronze in 2012, which is the last time it hosted the tournament. But Groulx's primary concern is another streak he would love to break on home ice."It's been [more than] five years since Canada has won the gold medal," he said. "So we all know when we enter the tournament what the goal is. We all have that in the back of our minds."
Groulx and his assistants, Dave Lowry of the Western Hockey League's Victoria Royals and Scott Walker of the Guelph Storm in the Ontario Hockey League, are making sure they collect as much information as possible at development camp.
Canada will play four scrimmages in four days from Tuesday to Friday against the national junior teams of Russia and the Czech Republic, who are holding camps in Montreal and Sherbrooke, Quebec. Groulx said the high number of games will allow him and his staff to put each of their players in different situations to see if they can demonstrate the versatility that will be a very admirable trait for any national team candidate.
GOALIES: Eric Comrie, Tri-City, WHL (Winnipeg Jets); Philippe Desrosiers, Rimouski, QMJHL (Dallas Stars); Zachary Fucale, Halifax, QMJHL (Montreal Canadiens); Tristan Jarry, Edmonton, WHL (Pittsburgh Penguins)
DEFNSEMEN: Chris Bigras, Owen Sound, OHL (Colorado Avalanche); Madison Bowey, Kelowna, WHL (Washington Capitals); Aaron Ekblad, Barrie, OHL (2014 draft eligible); Haydn Fleury, Red Deer, WHL (2014 draft eligible); Ben Harpur, Guelph, OHL (Ottawa Senators); Dillon Heatherington, Swift Current, WHL (Columbus Blue Jackets); Roland McKeown, Kingston, OHL (2014 draft eligible); Samuel Morin, Rimouski, OHL (Philadelphia Flyers); Joshua Morrissey, Prince Albert, WHL (Winnipeg Jets); Darnell Nurse, Sault Ste. Marie, OHL (Edmonton Oilers); Travis Sanheim, Calgary, WHL (2014 draft eligible); Shea Theodore, Seattle, WHL (Anaheim Ducks)
FORWARDS: Nicholas Baptiste, Sudbury, OHL (Buffalo Sabres); Samuel Bennett, Kingston, OHL (2014 draft eligible); Tyler Bertuzzi, Guelph, OHL (Detroit Red Wings); Gregory Chase, Calgary, WHL (Edmonton Oilers); Michael Dal Colle, Oshawa, OHL (2014 draft eligible); Jason Dickinson, Guelph, OHL (Dallas Stars); Max Domi, London, OHL (Phoenix Coyotes); Jonathan Drouin, Halifax, QMJHL (Tampa Bay Lightning); Anthony Duclair, Quebec, QMJHL (New York Rangers); Robert Fabbri, Guelph, OHL (2014 draft eligible); Frederik Gauthier, Rimouski, QMJHL (Toronto Maple Leafs); Jeremy Gregoire, Baie-Comeau, QMJHL (Montreal Canadiens); Jayce Hawryluk, Brandon, WHL (2014 draft eligible); Bo Horvat, London, OHL (Vancouver Canucks); Morgan Klimchuk, Regina, WHL (Calgary Flames); Curtis Lazar, Edmonton, WHL (Ottawa Senators); Connor McDavid, Erie, OHL (2015 draft eligible); Zach Nastasiuk, Owen Sound, OHL (Detroit Red Wings); Nicholas Paul, North Bay, OHL (Dallas Stars); Brendan Perlini, Niagara, OHL (2014 draft eligible); Nicolas Petan, Portland, WHL (Winnipeg Jets); Brayden Point, Moose Jaw, WHL (2014 draft eligible); Sam Reinhart, Kootenay, WHL (2014 draft eligible); Nicolas Ritchie, Peterborough, OHL (2014 draft eligible); Jake Virtanen, Calgary, WHL (2014 draft eligible)
"For us it's to really get to know all the players in depth, not just as hockey players but also as individuals. I think it's something that is essential today in a camp as short as this one, to get to know the values of each player, their level of commitment on and off the ice, their style of play, their ability to raise their game, to adapt to situations," Groulx said. "We're going to take them out of their comfort zone a bit. That's why we scheduled so many games in so few days. Everyone's going to see some action, but we're going to be very busy talking to them and teaching them on the way we want to play, the way we're going to compete on the ice. That's our goal for these games."
The development camp roster includes 10 players from the team that lost to Russia in the bronze-medal game at the 2014 WJC. Forward Jonathan Drouin of the Halifax Mooseheads in the QMJHL, who ranked second on the 2014 team with nine points in seven games, will not be in attendance because he has participated in the past two tournaments for Canada, making him exempt, according to Hockey Canada policy. Drouin probably wouldn't be available for Canada at the tournament considering his very strong chances of cracking the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup.
Drouin is hardly alone in that category for Canada, with a number of players attending the camp having a good chance of playing in the NHL this season. Defenseman Aaron Ekblad, the top pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, could be playing with the Florida Panthers come Christmas. The same could be said for the second pick in the draft, forward Sam Reinhart of the Buffalo Sabres, and several other players.
This unknown element is an annual challenge for Canada, and one Groulx is not particularly worried about heading into camp.
"We don't think we're at a disadvantage or an advantage in that area," Groulx said. "We think we have some very good players no matter who will be available or not. Obviously we want to have the best junior-aged players in Canada available, but we know very well how it works."
One player Groulx is sure to have available at the tournament is Connor McDavid of the OHL's Erie Otters, who is the consensus top prospect for the 2015 NHL Draft. The junior camp is the first event of what will be a season of scrutiny for McDavid, who figures to be an important part of the Canadian team after playing more of a supporting role as a 16-year-old last year.
Groulx got to know McDavid at last year's tournament when he was an assistant to coach Brent Sutter, and he is confident the budding star will stand up well to the glaring spotlight he will be under this season.
"I think Connor McDavid, more than being an excellent hockey player, he's a very good person," Groulx said. "You can tell this young man comes from a very good family and has good values. He's very intelligent and he learned a lot from the tournament last year. Now he's a year older and he's well prepared mentally for this camp and for what's to come. He knows what he's getting into this year."
For McDavid, the rest of the players at the camp and the coaching staff, the challenge will be to try to put what awaits them at Christmas on the back burner. Until then, the coaches will be looking to build relationships with their potential team and the players will be trying to lay the groundwork for surviving the final selection camp in December.

Three centuries ago, the Chesapeake Bay watershed was covered with trees. Maples, pines and oaks captured rainfall, stabilized the soil and offered food, shelter and migration paths to wildlife. But as the country was settled and developed, more people moved into the region, and forests were cleared for farms and communities and trees were cut for timber and fuel. The population of the region now stands at almost 18 million—more than double what it was in the 1950s. While valuable forests do remain in the region, many suffer from fragmentation: separation into smaller pieces that are vulnerable to threats.
According to a report from the U.S. Forest Service, 60 percent of Chesapeake forests have been divided into disconnected fragments by roads, homes and other gaps that are too wide or dangerous for wildlife to cross. The isolated communities of plants and animals that result have smaller gene pools that make them more susceptible to disease. The sensitive species that thrive in the moderate temperatures and light levels of an "interior" forest (which is mature and separate from other land uses) can't find the unique habitat characteristics they need. And the forests themselves are more vulnerable to invasive species and other threats.
In an effort to reconnect fragmented forests, conservationists have turned to wildlife corridors. These corridors give wildlife the space to move and can be found around the world. The World Wildlife Federation runs the Freedom to Roam initiative to protect corridors along the Northern Great Plains and Eastern Himalayas. The National Wildlife Federation runs the Critical Paths Project to cut the number of fatal road crossings for animals in Vermont. And watershed states like Maryland and Virginia have incorporated wildlife corridors into their green infrastructure plans.
Even local landowners have contributed to the corridor movement: in September, the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay recognized Christine and Fred Andreae as Exemplary Forest Stewards for their work to manage 800 acres of forestland—including a corridor that connects George Washington National Forest and Shenandoah National Park—along the Page and Warren county lines in Virginia.
Christine and Fred placed the property under conservation easement through the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, which was established by the Commonwealth in 1966. The Andreaes have also convinced their neighbors to follow suit: what started as an agreement between Christine, Fred and one neighbor to connect a patch of land on two sides of the Shenandoah River eventually expanded to include eight property owners and 1,750 contiguous acres. Today, bald eagles and bears abound on the land that can be seen from Skyline Drive.
"[Our neighbors] wanted to keep the land undeveloped," Fred said when asked how he motivated others to join the conservation cause. "Most of them had family connections to the land—some [spanning] 100 years or more. It was their heritage they wanted to see preserved."
The Andreaes have made their property as self-sustaining as possible so that once their two sons inherit it, it won't have to be sold. "We've done something that will last. That's a legacy. That will be there, theoretically, forever," Fred said. "There aren't too many things you can do that will be there after you're gone—that will have an impact on my family and the other people who live in the area."
Through the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, the Chesapeake Bay Program has committed to expanding urban tree canopy and restoring hundreds of thousands of miles of streamside trees and shrubs. Learn more about forests and our work to protect them.
Invasive species, or plants and animals that have been introduced to an area, can cause harm when they establish themselves at the expense of native wildlife. These invaders pose a threat to native species by outcompeting them for resources like food and habitat that are necessary for survival. Often, these species expand their range and population numbers at such a rapid pace that landowners and wildlife managers struggle to contain their spread.
Brian Knox is President of Sustainable Resource Management, Inc., a natural resource consulting firm based out of Davidsonville, Md., that deals primarily with managing forest vegetation. Knox has seen success in combating invasive plants by implementing outside-the-box tactics. "A lot of people these days are getting more conscious about their herbicide usage," said Knox. "As a very small company, we're not afraid to try anything."
In 2007, Knox began unleashing a herd of goats—referred to as Eco-Goats—on areas overrun by invasive vegetation. The goats have proven to be a viable option for these problem areas, because they can go many places that people and machinery cannot reach, like steep slopes and hillsides. Additionally, because of the goats' mouth shape and digestive system structure, they are able to grind up seeds in a way that ensures seeds are not returned to the soil to resprout at the end of the digestive process.
A herd of about 30 goats can work through about a half-acre of dense vegetation in 3 to 4 days. "Goats are very good at biomass reduction," explained Knox. "Typically, a goat can eat about 25 percent of its bodyweight a day in green material. If you figure an average of 100 pounds, that's 25 pounds of vegetation going into every goat that's out there."
Although the goats are fond of invasive species like kudzu, porcelain berry, wine berry and mile-a-minute and are undeterred by thorns, they do not discriminate against native species. So before committing his goats to an area, Knox surveys each site to make sure the vegetation is appropriate. "A misapplied goat is every bit as bad as a chemical spill," said Knox. "You can do damage with a goat... I look for native species and ask, 'Is there more here to save than there is to get rid of?' If so, that's a terrible place for a goat."
Spending your day with a herd of goats may sound like fun, but managing the goats is hard work. "A lot of people think it's just sitting around and watching the goats, and boy, that would be a great job. And then you talk to them about how it took me two days to get the fence up and I'm soaked through to my socks by eight in the morning," said Knox. "But clearly there's something that I really love about this. And it's the educational aspect of it, seeing people's eyes light up while watching the goats."

Striped bass spawning success has improved in the Chesapeake Bay, according to scientists from both Maryland and Virginia.
Tracking the number of young-of-the-year striped bass in the Bay, or those rockfish that are less than one year old, helps scientists evaluate the health of the striped bass stock. To determine this number, scientists take a series of seine net samples in select striped bass spawning areas—like the Choptank, Potomac and Nanticoke rivers in Maryland and the Rappahannock, York and James rivers in Virginia—each summer. The resulting "juvenile abundance index" serves as an early indicator of future fish populations, helping managers predict the amount of striped bass that will be available to fishermen in the coming years.
"Striped bass are a… resilient species when given favorable environmental conditions for reproduction and survival," said Maryland Department of Natural Resources Secretary Mark Belton in a media release. "The robust reproduction should give Maryland anglers hope for a successful striped bass season in a few years' time."
In each Maryland sample, researchers caught an average of 24 juvenile striped bass; the state's abundance index value rose from 4.06 to 10.67 this year, which is the eighth highest on record. In each Virginia sample, researchers caught an average of 12 juvenile striped bass; the Commonwealth's abundance index value rose from 11.37 to 12, which is about equal to average historic values. There, striped bass spawning success has been average or above average in 12 of the last 13 years, which indicates consistent production in Virginia nurseries.
Striped bass hold great value in the watershed: the fish is a top predator in the food web and a critical catch for commercial and recreational fishermen. Fishing bans set in the late 1980s helped striped bass recover from harvest and pollution pressures, and experts now consider it a recovered species.
Learn more about the juvenile striped bass survey in Maryland and Virginia.
New techniques for modeling water temperatures have allowed U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists to better predict how climate change will affect the habitat of fish species like brook trout, according to a recent study.
Climate change is expected to bring warmer air temperatures to the Chesapeake region over the next several decades. And as air temperatures rise, water temperatures will also increase, threatening fish species like brook trout that are particularly sensitive to warming waters. Previous modeling has assumed water temperatures in rivers and streams would rise in a uniform manner, failing to account for the effect that cool groundwater has on warmer surface water.
"One thing that has been missing from other models is the recognition that groundwater moderates the temperature of headwater streams," said Nathaniel Hitt, coauthor of the study. "Our paper helps to bring the effects of groundwater into climate change forecasts for fish habitat." Accounting for the effects of groundwater will allow for better predictions of brook trout habitat loss, as well as more targeted approaches for habitat protection.
Species like brook trout are an essential part of headwater stream ecosystems, an important part of the watershed's heritage and a valuable recreation resource. Chesapeake Bay Program partners committed to restoring and sustaining brook trout populations as part of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement.
The article, "Accounting for groundwater in stream fish thermal habitat responses to climate change," is available online.

Finite Fields
By Leopoldo Garcia Vargas
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
In this app we emulate the structure and behavior of the Finite Fields over the set Z_2. The elements that inhabit these fields will therefore be polynomials with coefficients identical to either one or cero. We will denote this structures by the symbol F_2^n, where 2^n is the order (number of elements) and n is the dimension of the Field when thought of as a vector space.
The emulation of the Fields includes:
-Detailed list of the elements in each field (of order less than 2^17).
-The user will be able to access the details of each individual element and of the field that's been considered.
- Arithmetic calculations on the field of his/her choice.
-Option to vary the irreductible element that's been used to modulate the calculations.
-Fast and trustable object oriented calculations.
-Self developed arithmetic library.
-Developed by a Mathematician.
This app will allow you to get a better comprehension of the abstract structure of the fields F_2^n.

Technical; not for casual interest!!
Got this app in the hope it would illuminate my abstract algebra material. Unfortunately, this app is not a teaching/learning tool. It will calculate order, characteristic, dimension, irreducible elements and give the binary, integer, and abstract representations. It will also do arithmetic computations when you choose two elements to operate and one to modulate. What it won't do is tell you what any of that means! For me, the app is useless. If you already know what all this is about and need a finite fields calculator, this will do it (I assume; I am in WAY over my head!). :]

How did the car do this winter? Did you wind up putting on snow tires?
Amazingly, we got very little snow in the northeast this winter, quite a change from last year.
So snow tires were not necessary.
I'll see what next year brings!

Me and my friends are trying to system link on Halo Reach but it just isn't working. We have two Xbox's, two copies of Halo: Reach, four controllers, and four people. We have two ethernet cords, but we only have one being used to connect one Xbox to the other. We played Black Ops fine with the System Link, but we cannot get it to work on Reach. Nothing on Google or YouTube have helped out. We want to play multiplayer (i.e.- 2v2 on a map). If we can't do that, then FireFight or the campaign would be fine. We've got to the point where it shows that there are two lobbies on the system link but we can't seem to join each other's parties. There is not a "Host" or "Join" button like there was for Halo 3. What are we doing wrong? P.S.- We have all made new accounts that have never been online so they all have the same updates. The Xbox's also have the same updates. If it didn't, we couldn't have played Black Ops with a system link. [Edited on 10.05.2011 7:45 PM PDT]
TooAwesome4U2410/6/2011 3:58:03 AM PermalinkYes. Yes we did press Y and made sure both were on System Link. We've tried both on FireFight and Custom Games. What would the next step be after we set it to system link? Instead of trying to pinpoint a problem it might be best if I'm just given the directions and we'll see what's wrong.
TooAwesome4U2410/6/2011 3:55:32 AM PermalinkLet me add a little more. On both Xboxs, we have silver accounts. This let us get the updates, but it doesn't let us play online. So with the silver accounts we got the most recent updates but then we made accounts not linked to online at all and started playing on those.
TooAwesome4U2410/6/2011 3:52:18 AM PermalinkOh, Title Update. No, that can't be it because when we were on our Xbox's with the XboxLIVE accounts we both downloaded the updates so that shouldn't be it.
EW Booksh3lf10/6/2011 3:48:41 AM PermalinkOne xbox probably has the TU downloaded, and the other doesn't. They're incompatible.
TooAwesome4U2410/6/2011 3:47:57 AM PermalinkTU? Sorry, i haven't played Reach in forever so I have no idea what that might mean. But I edited my first post to explain that we're using brand new accounts.
EW Booksh3lf10/6/2011 3:45:49 AM PermalinkDoes one have the TU downloaded, and the other doesn't? I had that problem the other day.

What are the top issues and in which order of importance to look into while optimizing (performance tuning, troubleshooting) an existing (but unknown to you) database?
Which actions/measures in your previous optimizations gave the most effect (with possibly the minimum of work) ?
I'd like to partition this question into following categories (in order of interest to me):
- one needs to show the performance boost (improvements) in the shortest time. i.e. most cost-effective methods/actions;
- non-intrusive or least-troublesome most effective methods (without changing existing schemas, etc.)
- intrusive methods
Suppose I have a copy of a database on dev machine without access to production environment to observe stats, most used queries, performance counters, etc. in real use.
This is development-related but not DBA-related question.
Suppose the database was developed by others and was given to me for optimization (review) before it was delivered to production.
It is quite usual to have outsourced development detached from end-users.
Besides, there is a database design paradigm that a database, in contrast to application data storage, should be a value in itself independently on specific applications that use it or on context of its use.
Update3: Thanks to all answerers! You all pushed me to open subquestion
How do you stress load dev database (server) locally?

Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrosio in Citizens of Humanity Rocket Skinny Jeans in Crispy
Alessandra Ambrosio was snapped while out running errands and grabbing coffee with her friends. I absolutely love Alessandra's outfit here. Usually she's dressed down a bit, but I think this outfit is a bit more polished, but not too over the top or overdone.
She wore a pair of Citizens of Humanity's Rocket Skinny jeans in Crispy with a kelly green sweater and Rag & Bone booties. I really like the wash on these and that they have a higher rise, which I think is really flattering on Alessandra. You can buy these jeans online from Shopbop.com for $218.00.
Alessandra Ambrosio in Anine Bing Leather Pants & Jamie Mazur in RRL
Alessandra Ambrosio and Jamie Mazur attended the the SHFT Production & Oakley dinner during the Sundance Film Festival last week. Alessandra chose a pair of the Anine Bing Zipper Leather Pants with a gold sweater while boyfriend Jamie Mazur wore a pair of RRL jeans to pose for some photos and to enjoy the event inside.
These are the Anine Bing pants that I have been waiting to see on someone. They have to be one of the coolest in my opinion, aesthetically. I love that they have an inseam zipper, which I think is a rare detail that is not used enough on jeans and pants. What do you think of these? Click here to purchase these pants from the Anine Bing website for $699.
Alessandra Ambrosio in J Brand 811 Jeans in Hysteria
Alessandra Ambrosio was spotted heading to a meeting in Calabasas, California. The model wore a pair of J Brand 811 in Hysteria with some nude pumps, a pink shirt, and blue motorcycle jacket. Even though this look is not my favorite of Alessandra's, I still think she looks amazing because of the way everything fits.
I also find these jeans to be very cool. I love the idea of the raw hem and the distressing. Those additions really add character to a wash that would sometimes wash out a look. what are your thoughts on these jeans? You can click here to purchase these jeans from the J Brand website for $209.
Alessandra Ambrosio in Sass & Bide Start Over Jeans
Alessandra Ambrosio spent some quality time with her son Noah before meeting up with a couple of friends to run errands. She wore a pair of Sass & Bide Start Over jeans in animal print. I like how she kept the print from being too crazy by wearing these jeans with simple silver sneakers.
Alessandra has worn Sass & Bide a couple of times before, and so have a few other celebrities like Jessica Alba and Olivia Palermo. The Australian brand has some really great styles, especially some fun patterns (I love this pair), so I hope it will start to catch on more in the States. You can buy these jeans from Shopbop.com for $270.00.

@katamari201, if you weren't going to get the Note 3 or 4, what would be your other alternatives? I have the Note 3 and don't see the Note 4 as a cost-effective upgrade for what they're asking. I want to find something like the Mate 7 that doesn't have the issues you're talking about. Any suggestions?

Lumber Liquidators Announces First Quarter 2014 Financial Results And Updates Full Year 2014 Outlook ~ Net Sales Increased 6.9% to $246.3 Million, Adversely Impacted by Unusually Severe Weather ~~ Comparable Store Net Sales Decline 0.6% ~ ~ Net Income of $13.7 Million, or $0.49 per Diluted Share ~~ Company Maintains Full Year 2014 Outlook for Net Sales of $1.15 billion to $1.20 billion and EPS of $3.25 to $3.60 PR Newswire TOANO, Va., April 30, 2014 TOANO, Va., April 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL), the largest specialty retailer of hardwood flooring in North America, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, and reiterated its outlook for 2014. Lumber Liquidators First Quarter Results Net sales increased $15.9 million, or 6.9%, to $246.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 from $230.4 million in the first quarter of 2013. The Company estimates unusually severe winter weather adversely impacted net sales in as many as 135 of its 331 store locations in operation at March 31, 2014. In those stores adversely impacted by weather, net sales declined 3.8% to $93.6 million, and in all other stores, net sales increased 14.6% to $152.7 million. In comparable stores, net sales decreased 0.6% overall, including a 13.1% decrease in weather-impacted stores and an 8.5% increase in all other stores. The Company's average sale across all stores rose 2.6% in the first quarter of 2014, indicating a 3.2% decrease in the number of customers invoiced. As the weather moderated, customer demand generally strengthened across comparable stores. The Company believes a significant portion of the customer demand delayed by adverse weather in the first quarter will be recovered in the second and third quarters of 2014. Gross margin was 41.1% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to 40.4% in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in gross margin reflects generally higher net product margin due to continued shifts in sales mix and lower product costs, partially offset by higher net transportation costs. Transportation costs included certain expenses related to the start-up of the West Coast distribution center, which began serving over 90 western store locations in March 2014. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $11.3 million, or 16.7%, to $78.9 million, and included incremental costs of $1.0 million related to the West Coast distribution center and a $1.7 million increase in legal and professional fees compared to the first quarter of 2013. SG&A expenses were 32.0% of net sales in the first quarter of 2014, up from 29.3% in the first quarter of 2013. Net income decreased 13.2% to $13.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014 from $15.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the first quarter of the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2014 totaled $76.1 million compared with $72.7 million at March 31, 2013 and $80.6 million at December 31, 2013. Robert M. Lynch, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Like so many, our team was frustrated by the severity, scale and duration of the harsh winter and the adverse impact it had on our net sales. Our customers generally follow a long purchase cycle, which we believe was either interrupted or completely suspended due to the unusually severe winter weather. However, as conditions generally became more seasonal in mid-March, customer demand increased. The key strategic initiatives we have implemented over the last two years have strengthened our operations, and we believe we are more capable than ever of serving customers who postponed their flooring purchase in the first quarter." Company Outlook The Company has reiterated its previously provided full year outlook for net sales and earnings per share, and now expects to achieve the following for the full year 2014: oNet sales in the range of $1.15 billion to $1.20 billion. oComparable store net sales increasing in the mid to high single digits, from a previous range of high single to low-double digits. oThe opening of a total of 35 to 40 new store locations in the expanded showroom format, from a previous range of 30 to 40 new store locations. oThe remodeling of a total of 25 to 30 existing stores in the expanded showroom format, from a previous range of 25 to 35 existing stores. oCapital expenditures between $80 million and $90 million, including up to $50 million for supply chain investments. oDe-leverage of SG&A expenses primarily related to store base expansion, advertising expenses increasing at a rate greater than net sales, the opening and continuing operation of the West Coast distribution center and higher than normal legal and professional fees. oOperating margin expansion to a range of 13.0% to 13.8%. oEarnings per diluted share in the range of approximately $3.25 to $3.60, based on a diluted share count of approximately 27.9 million shares, which is exclusive of any future impact of the stock repurchase program. Mr. Lynch concluded, "As we look forward, we remain confident in the long-term strength of our business model and believe that our value proposition will allow us to gain further share in the fragmented wood flooring market. Our infrastructure investment this year will be the largest in our history, as we open key facilities in our supply chain, expand our finishing capacity, explore vertical integration and continue our store base expansion. Our new stores continue to exceed our plans, and we expect that the long-term investments we have made implementing our key strategic initiatives will enable us to expand operating margin in the remainder of the year and beyond." Conference Call and Webcast Information The Company plans to host a conference call and audio webcast today, April 30, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The conference may be accessed by dialing (877) 407-9039 or (201) 689-8470.
