The Green Spa & Wellness Center: Organic Revital Eyes
8804 Third Ave between 88th and 89th Sts, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn (718-921-6100,greenspany.com). Regularly $38. TONY deal Mention TONY at booking for 15 percent off this treatment or any treatment that day.
I'll take any opportunity to rejuvenate my dark-circled, puffy eyes. The all-natural Eminence products used at Green Spa exfoliated and soothed my fatigued skin, while a raspberry eye mask, green-tea--soaked cotton and a neck massage helped me forget why I was so tired in the first place. (The complimentary champagne and fluffy robe didn't hurt either.)
Best part: After the initial fingertip massage, my aesthetician worked cool stones into the treatment, tracing the contours of my eyes and smoothing out any worry lines.
Why it's worth it: From the wrought-iron door to the multiple floors of dimly lit earth-toned rooms and soothing rain-forest sounds, Green Spa is anything but clinical.—Christen Brandt
Anasa Day Spa: Aromatherapy facial
31-09 Newtown Ave at 31st Ave, suite 409, Astoria, Queens (718-777-7720,anasadayspa.com). Regularly $90. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking for 15 percent off this service or any other single treatment through Feb 10.
The mood lighting, soft music and cozy monogrammed robes at this Queens retreat come with a side of tough love from soothing but firm spa therapist Toula Angelidakis. With a little steaming and a few expert cheek presses, she correctly guessed that I don't drink enough water, exfoliate too much and never wipe down my cell phone. (Oops.) After a deep cleaning, she massaged in a custom mix of essential oils (ginseng and comforting horse chestnut for my sensitive skin) and topped them with a repairing serum. As a bonus, she shared handy skin tips and factoids: Did you know that New Yorkers are more prone to blackheads because of air pollution?
Best part: A cool-to-the-touch, custom-mixed mask was painted on to lock in essential oils, then peeled off and followed by a hot towel to my face. I could feel every pore open up.
Why it's worth it: I knew I'd be racing to another appointment after the facial, so I packed a makeup bag to deal with redness and shine. Surprise: My skin was dewy, clear and blotch-free on its own.—Cathy Vandewater
Spring Thyme Day Spa: Anma massage
40 Exchange Pl between Nassau and Williams Sts (212-385-4973, springthymeny.com). $80. TONY deal Mention TONY for 15 percent off any massage service, 30 percent off any facial or body treatment or an acupuncture session and consultation for $45 (normally $120) through Apr 26.
Relaxing massages are luxurious, no doubt. But to handle the constant challenges of work and parenting, what my body really needed was a serious energy boost. Spring Thyme cofounder and massage therapist Philip Lam first looked at my tongue and then deeply into my eyes for signs of toxins, which alert the practitioner to any troubled organs. Then I laid facedown on a narrow table, fully clothed in a T-shirt and sweatpants, for an intense session of Anma massage courtesy of Lam's strong, nimble hands. With directed pressure, Lam activated points from my shoulders to my toes in a way that pushed my pain envelope but also realigned my body's entire flow of energy.
Best part: Lam's initial focus on my essential-organ meridians—those of the heart, lungs and kidneys, which are accessed at different points on the upper back—released a searing heat that was exactly what my body needed.
Why it's worth it: The 50-minute session, though hardly what one could call pleasant or relaxing, left me energized and supremely awake, as though my consciousness had just been zapped into sharp focus.—Lee Magill
Moonflower Spa: Rose Renew Body Treatment
8 E 41st St between Fifth and Madison Aves, suite three (212-683-8729,moonflowerspa.com). $95.
Upon stepping into this spa, hidden above a busy midtown street, I was transported to an oasis of calm. Moon Flower specializes in facials, but for the Rose Renew treatment—a combination of aromatherapy, exfoliation and massage—it was the rest of my body that received attention. The tense muscles in my back and feet, as well as the dry skin on my arms, legs and hands, were scrubbed, rubbed, massaged and pampered. After a full exfoliation, my masseuse, Chizuru A., stimulated my circulation and released knots I didn't even know I had.
Best part: The aromatic oils that were used during the treatment were scented with rose, chamomile and neroli. Not only were they invigorating, but they also left me with a subtly, sweet scent.
Why it's worth it: The treatment was a much-needed balm for my rough winter skin, which was transformed from dry and flaky to moisturized and smooth.—Meg Rushton
Metamorphosis Spa: Aromatherapy massage
127 E 56th St between Park and Lexington Aves, fifth floor (212-751-6051,metspa.com). $150. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking for $50 off this service through Apr 1.
After placing a glass bowl of mixed essential oils—cypress, juniper, bergamot, orange and rosemary—underneath my face, masseuse Andrea Nieto got to work kneading the same oils into my exhausted body. Though it was almost overwhelming at first, a few deep breaths of the scent perked me up, even more than my daily dose of caffeine. Nieto also gave me a small tissue dotted with the same combination as I walked out the door "for a quick pick-me-up." Over the next few days, a quick whiff of the potent tissue boosted my energy on the spot.
Best part: As kids, my sister and I would stretch by pulling on each other's limbs. The technique Nieto used to gently tug on my arms and legs was similar but more relaxing, and it released tension and knots I didn't even know I had.
Why it's worth it: I walked in to the spa feeling depleted from a few taxing days; I left it relaxed, recharged and ready to take on a new week right then and there.—Marcy Franklin
Season Spa: Aromatherapy massage
165 Hester St between Elizabeth and Mott Sts (212-966-7416, seasonspa-nyc.com). Regularly $68. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking to get this treatment for $55 through Feb 29.
Before the treatment, massage therapist and spa manager Jennifer Wong offered a selection of four rotating aromatic oils (which are imported from Shanghai and Guangzhou in China) and explained the benefits of each scent. I opted for jasmine for relaxation and was quickly transported from wintertime Manhattan to a balmy South Pacific garden.
Best part: The hour-long treatment incorporates elements of Swedish, deep-tissue and tui na techniques, based on what each area of the body needs. In my case, it meant both targeted kneading of knots behind my shoulder blades and heavy, sustained pressure for my hamstrings and calves—achieved when Wong climbed up on the table and channeled her body weight through her knees.
Why it's worth it: At the end of the session, my muscles felt not only soothed but therapeutically tuned up, and a tension-melting head massage during the last ten minutes left this overcaffeinated insomniac snoring.—Carolyn Stanley
Relax on Cloud 9: Mineral bath
694 Clove Rd at Martling Ave, Staten Island (718-448-3412, relaxoncloud9.com). $50.
This half-hour treatment is just long enough to help you unwind. After entering the charming cottage that houses this retreat, I was led into a tiled room with a large Jacuzzi tub. My therapist, Steve Gargiulo, added mineral powder and lavender-scented essential oils to the bath, and I rested in the warm water while pan-flute music drifted into the room. Afterward, I refreshed myself with a quick spray of complimentary shea butter lotion.
Best part: If you're lucky, you'll meet spa owner Doreen Zayer and her gorgeous dog, an adopted labrador, on your way out.
Why it's worth it: This relaxing treatment is an excellent add-on to a massage, but if you're taking it on its own, request a complimentary five-minute shoulder and hand massage along with your bath.—Annemarie Dooling
Dorit Baxter Day Spa: Herbal body wrap
47 W 57th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves, third floor (212-371-4542,newyorkdayspa.com). $95. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking or at time of appointment for 20 percent off all treatments through Feb 29.
Between playing tour guide for visiting family members and battling crowds on buses and trains, I was craving a break from my holiday vacation. At this chic midtown spot, technician Katya Goidayeva (who has worked at various spas for nearly ten years), soothed away my anxiety with a body wrap. She massaged organic lavender cream into almost every inch of my skin and proceeded to cover my body in layers of lavender-scented sheets and thermal blankets.
Best part: While I tend to be claustrophobic, I spent 20 minutes snoozing in my wrap without feeling suffocated; plus, a knot-busting massage was a surprise treat.
Why it's worth it: The lavender scent, soothing music and encompassing warmth left me completely relaxed—so much so that the feeling stayed with me throughout a busy workday.—Elizabeth Denton
Thai New York Spa and Salon: Traditional Thai massage
23-92 21st St between 23rd Terr and 24th Ave, Astoria, Queens (718-932-0999,thainewyorkspa.com). $79. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking for 10 percent off massages through Feb 15.
My stiff shoulders started to soften just minutes into this intense rubdown, courtesy of the centuries-old techniques applied by therapist Kan Prasertsri. She spared no maneuver to banish my body's tension: At different points throughout the massage, Kan kneeled on the table to bend and stretch my legs, and straddled my hamstrings while prodding my lower back.
Best part: The massage isn't the only draw: The spa provides comfy pants and shirts for the treatment, and I could drink the sweet ginger tea served pre- and post-massage by the gallon.
Why it's worth it: There's no one-treatment-fits-all mantra here. Prasertsri took note of my most problematic pains, melting them away with the perfect amount of pressure.—Leah Faye Cooper
Winter remedies
Mario Badescu Skin Care Salon: European Facial with Vitamin C add-on
320 E 52nd St between First and Second Aves (212-758-1065, mariobadescu.com). Facial $65, add-on $35. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking to receive a free manicure with your facial (available Mon--Thu 10am--4pm) through Feb 13.
To begin the spa's signature treatment, my specialist, Angie J., directed a steam machine at my face to soften my skin and detoxify my pores. While I slackened under the warm air, Angie administered a thorough face cleansing with Mario Badescu's Enzyme Cleansing Gel and a circulation-amping neck, chest and shoulder massage. Then came a swift, take-no-prisoners series of extractions by hand, followed by a soothing mask to comfort my skin. After the mask dried, she gently cleaned my face and applied the Vitamin C add-on, an ultrahydrating, collagen-stimulating treatment to relieve my cold-weather--ravaged face. As a result, my skin was the cleanest, smoothest and most moisturized it has been in months.
Best part: The spa offers a free posttreatment consultation, which any client can take advantage of.
Why it's worth it: This methodically attentive procedure is one of the best facials for its moderate price.—Anne Bauso
Faina European Day Spa: Clay Souffle Chocolate Mint Body Scrub
315 W 57th St between Eighth and Ninth Aves, suite 402 (212-245-6557,fainaeuropeanspa.com). $70. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking or at time of appointment for 20 percent off all treatments (Mon--Fri appointments) through Feb 29.
I've been blessed with itchy, dry skin (thanks, Mom), so I was stoked when my technician, Barno Yosefi, explained that the natural sugar cane in this exfoliating scrub would remove dead cells and leave me with smoother skin. The delicious-smelling concoction, safe for those with sensitive skin, was rubbed gently all over my body.
Best part: A steamy shower after the treatment and subsequent massage with moisturizing, vitamin-rich lotion were unexpected extras.
Why it's worth it: My entire body felt baby-soft, and I didn't have the slightest inclination to scratch.—Elizabeth Denton
Ohm Spa: Ultimate SpaRitual Manicure
260 Fifth Ave between 28th and 29th Sts, seventh floor (212-845-9812, ohmspa.com). $45. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking for 20 percent off this treatment through Feb 29.
Winter weather is harsh enough on my hands without the added cuticle peel that comes from using too much acetone and cheap nail polish. The solution: a manicure that uses products that are free of DPB, formaldehyde and toluene. My technician, Ada Zhou, started out the session by shaping my overgrown nails and pushing back my cuticles. She then massaged my arms and hands using lavender cream, wrapped my forearms in plastic and snuggled them in a hot towel. After painting my nails, Zhou sat me at a UV drying machine, then stuck my hands in waxy paraffin gloves and let the treatment soothe my dry skin.
Best part: Afterward, my hands felt soft and smooth, and my nails were painted to perfection.
Why it's worth it: It's a manicure, massage and paraffin treatment all wrapped into one chemical-free session.—Rebecca Fishbein
Shade Bar Spa and Salon: Organic full-body spray tan
36-05 Ditmars Blvd between 36th and 37th Sts, Astoria, Queens (718-278-7893,shadebarspa.com). $55. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking for 10 percent off a spray tan or any other treatment through Feb 9.
A 30-minute visit to this salon replaced my January paleness with a beautiful, natural and healthy glow. To begin, my tanning pro, Tricia Bisbee, had me wipe myself down with wet towels to remove any residue from products like lotion, deodorant (it turns green) or body oil. Trisha lightly misted me with an organic-beetroot-based tan formula (which is applied to achieve your desired level of darkness), artfully creating natural, all-over layers. She also buffed around my wrists, nails and ears, to prevent harsh lines, before blasting me with a hairdryer. I gradually turned more bronze over the next ten hours and awoke the next day to the prettiest, non--Oompa Loompa tan.
Best part: Not needing to apply makeup for a week: My face and skin looked great with their built-in concealer, bronzer and blush.
Why it's worth it: The tan lasts five to seven days and is perfect before special occasions or simply as an antidote for the winter blues.—AB
Wei Lang Spa at Devachan: Detox City body treatment
425 Broome St between Crosby and Lafayette Sts (646-454-4300,devachansalon.com). $165. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking for ten percent off this treatment through Feb 26.
After sloughing off dead skin with a micronutrient-packed algae granule scrub, massage therapist and body-treatment specialist Niseema Dyan Diemer patted me down with handfuls of thick, mineral-rich mud. While I enjoyed a head massage, iodine in the mud drew out toxins. Meanwhile, magnesium kept the solution bubbling and crackling, a surprisingly soothing sensation. The grand finale is a hydrating milk rubdown that sealed Vitamin E into every pore of my body.
Best part: The wrap Diemer tucked around my mud-covered body resembled tinfoil, so I felt like a cozy baked potato while sweating out a month's worth of holiday partying.
Why it's worth it: I received a healthy, fresh-for-the-new-year glow without having to give up any of my favorite toxins.—Erin Griffith
Le Cachet Day Spa: Mud/Body Wrap treatment
39 E 30th St between Madison and Park Aves (212-448-9823, lecachetspa.com). $120.
As I lay on a bed of thermal blankets, aesthetician Mila Pronenko methodically scrubbed nearly every inch of my body with a citrus-scented mixture of Dead Sea salt and Vitamin E. Paying close attention to callused areas like elbows and heels, she sloughed off dead skin cells and moisturized my skin. Next, I was painted from neck to toe with mud (also from the Dead Sea) to remove impurities and toxins stored up in my hibernation-mode body. Then Pronenko wrapped me tightly with layers of plastic wrap, towels and a heated blanket before leaving me to enjoy a blissful nap. I drifted in and out of a cathartic slumber before cleaning up in an invigorating cool shower.
Best part: The salt scrubdown revived my winter-dulled skin and was the perfect primer for the mud-cocoon--induced snooze that followed.
Why it's worth it: The warmth of the burrito-like wrap thawed my seasonal chill and I felt refreshed for days.—Janet Caputo
Yelo Spa: Toe-Tal Detox
315 W 57th St between Eighth and Ninth Aves (212-845-9812, yelospa.com). Regularly $80. TONY deal Mention TONY for 20 percent off this service through Feb 19.
Weeks filled with instant dinners often make me feel tired and sluggish. Massage therapist Taisha Cortes helped me flush out my high-sodium diet by hooking me up to an IonCleanse Foot Spa, a machine that purportedly detoxifies the body by drawing out negative ions through osmosis (the band applies alternating positive and negative currents). After attaching a strap to my wrist, wrapping a heated band around my stomach (over my kidneys) and soaking my feet in warm salt water, Cortes left me alone for about 30 minutes to relax. Post-treatment, the water was stained with differently colored residue based on the parts of my body from which it came: Green, for example, is from the lymphatic system, while brown comes from the liver. Finally, Cortes dimmed the lights and administered a 15-minute foot massage and reflexology session as I relaxed in one of the spa's plush chairs.
Best part: The massage and reflexology session rejuvenated my newly cleansed system and left me feeling completely at ease.
Why it's worth it: Living a high-stress, high-chemical lifestyle can weigh the body down considerably over time. After ridding myself of some toxins, I felt far lighter and calmer, like I'd spent the day sitting by the ocean instead of in a cubicle.—RF
Euphora Health Medi-Spa and Salon: Platza treatment
3815 Northern Blvd between 38th and Steinway Sts, Astoria, Queens (718-786-4558,euphoraciti.com). Regularly $50. TONY deal Mention TONY and the word "banya" for 15 percent off spa and salon services, plus banya facilities, through Feb 29.
After leading me to a sauna where I laid facedown on a bed of towels, Platza specialist Tibor Juhasz grabbed two bundles of eucalyptus-soaked oak branches and rapidly shook them over my back, creating a steady shower that grew warmer with every flick of his wrists. Next, he rustled the leaves along the entire length of my body, alternating long, sweeping brushes with concentrated, drum-like pats. After a sufficient beatdown, I exited the sauna and plunged into Euphora's icy indoor pool.
Best part: I'm not sure which was more invigorating—the shock of the freezing cold water after the treatment, or repeating the entire process faceup.
Why it's worth it: I left feeling five pounds lighter and as many years younger, and later drifted into the deepest of sleeps.—LFC
FineLiving New York Ayurveda: Abhyanga-Garshana
154 W 14th St between Sixth and Seventh Aves, fourth floor (646--384-3525,newyorkayurveda.com). Regularly $95. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking or at time of appointment for 20 percent off all treatments through Feb 28.
Going into this treatment, I knew nothing about the 5,000-year old Indian treatment known as Ayurveda until my technician, Kavita Rawat, explained that she determines which dosha (a term that describes your metabolic characteristics) I fall under based on a number of physical and mental observations such as weight, hair texture and appetite. After deciding I am in the Pitta category, she put together a treatment of oils (including sandalwood and sunflower) that would help bring my body back to equilibrium and balance out any issues like excessive thirst and sleeping problems.
Best part: Before applying the oils, Rawat brushed my skin with silk gloves to increase lymphatic drainage and release toxins. Not only does this step allow the oils to sink in more deeply, but it helped lull me into a state of total relaxation.
Why it's worth it: While it takes more than one treatment to reap all the benefits of Ayurveda, I left feeling energized rather than sluggish, a common side effect I encounter after most massages.—ED
Benefit Boutique Soho: Eyebrow Waxing and Tinting
454 West Broadway between W Houston and Prince Sts (212-769-1111,benefitcosmetics.com). Wax $23, tint $20.
As a naturally bushy-faced gal, I've tried my fair share of waxes. This modern and feminine take on the old-school barbershop was a refreshing change. Instead of being sequestered in a side room to bear the treatment in private, I was seated at the communal Brow Bar. The vanities—along with bright lights, glam-girl decor and upbeat music—created a clubby vibe, while the ultrasensitive wax meant no wincing or tears. For the tinting, my aesthetician, Nicky Cayot, mixed a custom color that perfectly highlighted and glossed my dark hair.
Best part: It took only seven minutes for my Sasquatch-like brows to be waxed, shaped and tweezed, and I was in and out of the boutique in well under half an hour.
Why it's worth it: Every eyebrow treatment ends with a makeup application that incorporates Benefit's popular face and lip tint. I didn't have to hide any postwaxing puffiness, and my entire face looked twice as good as when I'd arrived.—Meg Rushton
Bliss Spas: Oxygen Blast
Locations throughout city; visit blissworld.com for more info. $85. TONY deal MentionTONY when booking this treatment to receive a free body butter through Feb 12.
My aesthetician, Emmie Zaharia (a Bliss vet of nine years), first cleared my face of makeup before analyzing my weary skin with a magnifying glass. She then exfoliated my face with a fruit acid wash and followed that with a heavenly head massage. Afterward, she slathered on a thick Declor balm to hydrate and calm my skin, using a series of strokes, pulls and finger flutters to activate blood circulation for a fresh-faced look.
Best part: Each session ends with a vitamin-packed regenerating oxygen mist, which feels like a gentle airbrushing and left my skin feeling smoother and looking brighter.
Why it's worth it: The treatment is a perfect, quick pick-me-up for battling winter winds—my skin was clear and hydrated for days afterward.—Samantha Vance
Dermalogica Soho: MicroZone Eye Rescue
110 Grand St between Broadway and Mercer St (212-219-9800, dermalogica.com). $35. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking to receive a Dermalogica Amenity Pack (samples worth $20) when you book any treatment, and to receive 10 percent off any treatment through Feb 29.
As with all of the brand's treatments, this service begins with a brief consultation and thorough Face Mapping. Skin therapist Melissa Contaste examined every inch of my mug to determine that my tired eyes are hereditary but also caused by a lack of moisture. After cleansing the eye area, Melissa used soft, long stokes to exfoliate, then blasted steam onto my visage to help soften the skin and open follicles. For my personalized service, Contaste used Dermalogica's professionals-only (you can buy a similar version in-store) Age Smart Complex for a massage that helped alleviate puffiness and brighten my eyes.
Best part: Each service is individually tailored to your skin's needs. At the end of my 20-minute treatment, a customized mask was applied as I relaxed in an oversized leather chair.
Why it's worth it: It's a perfect lunchtime pick-me-up; you can return to work feeling refreshed and without any redness or blotchiness.—Rachel LeWinter
D'mai Urban Spa: D'mai Spa Manicure
157 Fifth Ave between Lincoln and St Johns Pls, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-398-2100,dmaiurbanspa.com). $30. TONY deal Mention TONY when booking or at time of appointment for 20 percent off all treatments through Feb 24.
This nail-chomper's gnarled tips are a challenge for many manicurists, but the spa's sole nail technician, Martha Guaman, didn't blink an eye at my half-scratched-off, half-chipped polish job. Instead, she methodically repaired the damage by filing, soaking, moisturizing and oiling my hands, finishing the treatment with a sugar-ginger scrub and a quick coat of polish. Animal lovers take note: D'mai exclusively uses vegan products from SpaRitual.
Best part: Martha let me keep the mini bottle of formaldehyde- and toluene-free polish so I could do touch-ups at home and hopefully avoid the first chip that often leads to a nail-biting binge.
Why it's worth it: The vegan polish takes longer to dry than other polishes, but after a stint in the nail radiator, the manicure was so solid that my winter gloves didn't even make a dent. My nails remained unchipped (and unbitten!) for almost a full week.—Sharyn Jackson

A Wilmington man was arrested Tuesday, accused of breaking into a church and attempting to steal a computer.
James Forrest Davis Jr., 41, was in custody Wednesday morning, charged with felony breaking and entering of a religious establishment, larceny from a building and conspiracy to commit a felony.

i've heard several ways to put a metric on liquidity of options.. obviously liquidity isn't a constant.. things like the Bid/Asks spread, liquidity of the underlying.. Trying to find a way to parameterize "liquidty" for scans... instead of contracts traded.. would some average of total dollar amount traded in some front part of the term structure work? does open interest say something as well?
I would look at the following metrics when quantifying "liquidity" in listed options:
Most of the points above pertain to the fact that a lot of liquidity behind a contract is not shown on the screen, it shows however in the participation rate and dynamics of market makers and those who qualify for waivers of cancel/modify charges.
As an aside, I would not look at liquidity in the underlying. The underlying may be highly liquid without much interest in the options.

Roll Over Beethoven: The Life and Music of Chuck Berry will take place this fall in Cleveland
CLEVELAND (July 24, 2012) – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Case Western Reserve University will honor rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry during the 17th annual American Music Masters® series this October. Roll Over Beethoven: The Life and Music of Chuck Berry, a weeklong celebration, will tell the story of one of the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Berry has had a lifetime of brilliant musicianship and has inspired nearly every rock artist to date.
"I'm happy to be honored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum," said Chuck Berry. "I'm looking forward to reelin' and rockin' in Cleveland." Berry will attend the tribute concert to accept the award and will perform.
"Chuck Berry created the language of rock and roll," said Terry Stewart, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "We stand on his foundation, and we are thrilled to honor him and welcome him to Cleveland."
The annual program begins on Monday, October 22, and will feature interviews, panels, films and educational programs throughout the week, including a keynote lecture at Case Western Reserve University. On Saturday, October 27, a conference will be held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, exploring Berry's impact on popular music. The tribute concert will be held Saturday, October 27, at 7:30 p.m. at PlayhouseSquare's State Theater in Cleveland. Ticket information will be announced in the coming weeks. Sign up for the Rock Hall's e-newsletter to be alerted when tickets will go on sale at www.rockhall.com/e-newsletter/. A limited number of VIP packages beginning at $250 are available by contacting firstname.lastname@example.com or (216) 515-1207.
The series is sponsored by Republic Steel and Panasonic Automotive.
About Chuck Berry
Chuck Berry is the poet laureate of rock and roll. In the mid-Fifties, he took a fledgling idiom, born out of rhythm & blues and country & western, and gave it form and identity. A true original, Berry crafted many of rock and roll's greatest riffs and married them to lyrics that shaped the rock and roll vernacular for generations. He has written numerous rock and roll classics that have been covered by multitudes of artists and stood the test of time. In all essential ways, he understood the power of rock and roll – how it worked, what it was about and who it was for.
While no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll, Berry arguably did more than anyone else to put the pieces together. For the complete Chuck Berry biography written by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, visit: http://rockhall.com/inductees/chuck-berry/bio/.
Each year, the American Music Masters® series explores the legacy of a pioneering rock and roll figure in a range of events that includes Museum exhibits, lectures, films, a major conference and a tribute concert benefiting the Rock Hall's education programs. Drawing together experts, artists, fans and friends, these events provide new perspectives on the most beloved and influential musicians of the past century.
The tribute concert brings together a diverse mix of artists and musical styles, and as a result, many magical moments have taken place over the years. In 2004, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performed onstage together for the first time to honor Lead Belly. The pair was awarded the highest honors of Album of the Year for Raising Sand and Record of the Year for "Please Read the Letter" at the 51st annual Grammy awards. Honoree Jerry Lee Lewis, who was not scheduled to perform at the 2007 concert, was moved to take the stage at the end of the show. Lewis tenderly played the piano and sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". At the first American Music Masters tribute concert, Bruce Springsteen set the bar high and performed in honor of Woody Guthrie. The most star-studded and unique performance by a trio was Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke and Elvis Costello paying tribute to Sam Cooke in 2005. In 2008, a 93-year-old Les Paul took the stage with his trio and then led an epic jam with some of rock and roll's greatest guitarists, from Jennifer Batten to Slash. Janis Joplin was honored in 2009 by Grammy winner Lucinda Williams with a song she composed especially for the occasion, and in 2010, Dave Bartholomew brought down the house with a performance in tribute of honorees Fats Domino and Bartholomew himself. In 2011, Aretha Franklin was not planning to perform, but at the last minute she requested a piano and took the stage to perform Leon Russell's "A Song for You," which she recorded in 1974.
The Ohio Arts Council helped fund this program with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment of all Ohioans.

A divided Arkansas Supreme Court has upheld the murder conviction and life prison sentence of a Paragould man.
The court rejected the appeal of Marlin Stevenson — who was convicted of the August 2011 stabbing death of Michael Fox at the home of Fox's mother — where Stevenson was also living.
Prosecutors say Stevenson stabbed Fox after Fox told his mother that Stevenson had been smoking marijuana.
Two justices dissented in the opinion dated Friday. Justice Karen Baker said Stevenson's prior crimes should not have been admitted in trial and Justice Josephine Linker Hart said police questioning of Stevenson should not have continued after he requested a lawyer.
Stevenson is serving his life sentence at the Cummins Unit in Grady.

More: How did you get started?
Chris Holifield: I was traveling on private jets and I didn't like the service I was getting. Sometimes I was entertaining clients on the flight and it wouldn't have simple things like hand towels in the bathroom, or there would be lipstick stains on the coffee cups. Eventually, I became a client of Elite Aviation, and then I found myself with the opportunity to acquire it. I realized could really do something with the company.
More: Who are some of your higher profile clients?
CH: We have David Beckham, Christina Aguilera and Simon Fuller. Those are just some of the clients I'm allowed to mention. And that's important—we pride ourselves on absolute discretion at Elite.
More: What are some of the funnier or more unique requests you've had by clients?
CH: I get people who say, "I'm going to New York and I want the top 10 Prada shoes and two Chanel bags"—and we'll put them on the plane. Once we even had a client who requested that only blue M&Ms be onboard, so I went to the grocery store and my executive management team spent two hours separating all of the blues themselves.
More: What is a typical day for you as CEO? What are your responsibilities?
CH: It changes everyday, and that's what makes it so fun. I'm very hands on, so you never know when I'm dropping by. If I see plane on the tarmac, my guys know that I may decide to come in and do a last-minute plane check before it takes off.
More: You have an 11-year-old son. How do you balance being a mother and running your own company?
CH: I have basically taken my family room and transplanted it into my office. I didn't want to be the CEO mom who works long hours and whose son is cared for by someone else. He has his own office here and outside the office it says "future president and CEO." Last week he requested business cards. I love that he has his mother's entrepreneurial spirit.
More: What's the most rewarding part of the job?
CH: Recently, I got a call from a production company interested in our services for one of their producers taking a vacation. They gave us a certain amount of money and free rein with plans and I thought "oh my god, it's play time." It's fun to create exciting experiences for people.
More: What do you have planned for the future of Elite Aviation?
CH: We recently launched Elite Attache, a division within Elite that takes what we were already doing with door-to-door client requests and handles them on a larger scale.
There are also plans for expansion both in the US and abroad. I see Elite Aviation expanding into other service industries that are natural alliances, such as boutique hotels, limousine companies, or restaurants. What excites me and inspires me everyday is that the possibilities are endless.

A sustained lowering of food intake over time—while avoiding malnutrition—results in an increase of telomere length in adult mice, according to researchers at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO).This has a protective effect on the DNA and genetic material, and these beneficial effects on the youth of the chromosomes translate to a lower incidence of cancer and other age-related illnesses.
To carry out the study, researchers used young mice—just three months old—and reduced their caloric intake by 40% before observing them until the end of their life cycle.
"We see that mice that undergo caloric restriction show a lower telomere shortening rate than those fed with a normal diet," says María Blasco, Ph.D., director of CNIO and head of the telomeres and telomerase group. "These mice therefore have longer telomeres as adults, as well as lower rates of chromosome anomalies," she adds.
To study the effects of this phenomenon on the health of the mammals, researchers observed the incidence of age-related illnesses like cancer. The mice that had been fed a lower calorie intake showed a reduction in the incidence of cancer. Furthermore, these mice also showed a lower incidence of other age-related illnesses such as osteoporosis, greater glucose uptake, or improvements in motor coordination.
When the researchers carried out these same experiments with a variety of mice that produce more telomerase—a protein that lengthens telomeres and protects chromosomes—they observed that these mice not only enjoyed better health but also lived up to 20% longer (though this was partially dependent on their genetic background).
"We believe that such a significant increase in longevity is due to the protective effect against cancer produced by caloric restriction—incidences fall by 40% if we compare them with the mice that produce more telomerase and have a normal diet—and, added to the presence of longer telomeres, this makes the mice live longer and better," says Dr. Blasco.
She notes that there are more than 10,000 people in the world on some form of controlled caloric restriction, so the observation of these individuals will be decisive in discovering the effects of this type of diet on humans.
The study was published online this week in PLOS ONE, in a paper titled "Telomerase reverse transcriptase synergizes with calorie restriction to increase health span and extend mouse longevity".

Herculaneum Archaeological Ruins - Naples
As in Pompeii and Stabiae, Herculaneum also most likely entered into the orbit of the "Nucerina" confederation.
Having rebelled against Rome during the Social War, it was seized and conquered in 89 b.C. by Titus Didius, legate to the Roman General Lucius Cornelius Silla.
The total area within the walls measured about 20 hectares with a population of 4000 inhabitants; 4,5 hectares of opencast excavations are visitable while some important public buildings are either not accessible ("Nonio Balbo's Basilica", the so-called Basilica) or outside the archaeological area (the "Theatre" and the "Villa dei Papiri").
The digs began at Herculaneum in 1738, and continued using the technique of underground tunnels and exploratory and ventilation shafts until 1828, when the "open-air" digs were authorized, and carried out until 1875.
After a very long interruption, in 1927 Amedeo Maiuri began again the work , and continued to lead the digs until 1958, but already in 1942 about all the area, constituting the current archaeological park, was brought to light and contemporary restored and covered.
Additional work was done between 1960 and 1969, in the northern sector of Insula VI and along the main street or "Decumanus Maximus", while the last twenty years have concentrated on exploring the ancient shoreline, corresponding to the southern most strip of the archeological area.
In this area 12 rooms were brought to light.
These were rooms (fornici) with arched entrances, shelters for boats and warehouse, where many people took refuge escaping from the eruption.
In this area it was found the wooden boat, now placed in a pavilion adjacent to the modern offices of the Soprintendenza and the Antiquarium, waiting for a complex work of restoration.
In 1991 a program of excavation for bringing to light Villa of Papyri started.
Carlo Weber discovered Villa of Papyri in 1750 by chance.
He excavated the Villa through underground tunnels and accurately surveyed it.
The intervention was possible thanks to extraordinary funds allocated on the basis of the 64/1-3-1986 Law.
In 1991 following an agreement between the "Ministero per I Beni Culturali e Ambientali" and the "Agenzia per la promozione e lo sviluppo del Mezzogiorno", the project was given in concession to a Temporary Association (A.T.I.).
The New Excavation was concentrated at the western side of the modern Vico Mare and is connected to the archaeological park through a narrow and deep trench, starting from the House of Aristide and continuing through a gallery beneath Vico Mare.
In reality, only the atrium of the Villa was brought to light, as the remains of the luxurious residence are under some properties not expropriated yet.
In the eastern section of the excavations a great building and the southwestern extremity of the city, were brought to light.
This part of the city included some houses and a thermal complex with an apsed nympheum.
Because of the collapse of the ancient coastline, after the eruption of 79 A.D., a system of water pump takes continuously control of the water layer.

Reviews for Chocolate Peanut Butter Crisp Bars
"I made this for a baby shower i was throwing for my cousin. Since i was so wrapped up in making sure everyone had seats, drinks, food, etc., i was last to get a plate to eat. There wasn't a single crumb left in the dish!!! Those ladies devoured it & it is a pretty big dish so it must've been good...but i won't know personally til i make it again. :("
"These were really yummy, big hit at work, but the layers separate/crumbled for me too. Also had a problem because I used wax paper and didn't spray it with non stick spray or anything so it stuck to the bottom. Nobody cared though because they were so tasty."
"Have made it twice, everyone loves it. It's better with no butterscotch chips, use all chocolate."
"Love, love love. I will definitely make these again. Love the sweet/salty/crunchy result, and they aren't sickeningly sweet.I used round crackers, but will probably use club crackers next time, like another reviewer suggested.One reviewer thought they were very crumbly. That wasn't the case for me, and I wonder if the crumbliness was from using too many crackers.I decreased the butterscotch chips to 3/4 cup and increased the chocolate chips to 1 1/4 cups, because I don't like too strong of a butterscotch flavor. And I used crunchy peanut butter since that's what I had on hand."
"This was ok i thought it was a little hard to layer evenly and they crumbled when i cut them. So they tasted pretty good but weren't nice to look at."

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verbaena Almost perfect. Purse is well made of sturdy materials. It is very cute and unique. I love that it's a Novica product. The purse is split into two very roomy pockets, my wallet fits nicely, along with some essentials. Only thing it's missing is a little zippered pocket for unmentionables. Overall, I love it, and get a lot of compliments on it. December 26, 2013

by Daniel Williams, U.S. Army Combat Veteran
I testified today before the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs about the urgent need to reform mental health care in our military and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). I had to share some hard, painful truths.
As an Army infantryman I was deployed in 2003-2004 to Iraq. I was wounded when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated and injured my body and my mind. I received a traumatic brain injury (TBI), but the most severe wound as been post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
From the moment I got injured until my honorable discharge, I received very little help from the Army-or even acknowledgement of my mental state. I went to the base clinic at Ft. Hood in Texas and reported anxiety and readjustment issues, but was told that I needed to wait six months for an appointment with a psychiatrist.
With no help or hope, I attempted suicide with a .45 caliber pistol while locked at home in the bathroom. My wife called the police. When they kicked open the door, I pulled the trigger, but by the grace of God, the weapon misfired. The officers handcuffed me and put me in the back of the police car. One of them attempted to clear my weapon, but when he did, the same round that refused to kill me went off perfectly for him. Thankfully, no one was injured. I was admitted to the psychiatric ward of the base hospital for two weeks.
When I first went to the VA in Birmingham in 2007, I felt lost and had no guidance. I had to wait hours to see a doctor and wait in lines while constantly seeing and hearing on televisions in the waiting rooms news about the war with soldiers being killed. Later, at an outpatient clinic in Huntsville, I enjoyed my regular MD but the psychiatrist was a nightmare. She recommended inpatient treatment, including shock treatments to reset my brain. I did not want to do this and decided to try psychotherapy for a while.
I got worse, not better. My therapist didn't listen. She just threw pills at me. My wife and I returned to the Birmingham VA for help. We argued loudly with the receptionist. VA police officers came to investigate. At that critical moment, we met Dr. Ryan. For the first time a doctor actually listened He arranged for me to see a therapist weekly, ensured that I had proper medications, was assigned to support groups and was able to take classes. I also met with a local recovery coordinator.
Later, I was asked to serve on the medical center's veterans' mental health council, an activity VA initiated to give veterans a voice to help make the local VA system better for mental health.
Veterans and family members have to serve as advocates to get the help they need. I am glad NAMI is on our side and I am proud to have represented NAMI before the Senate committee.---

I'm pretty sure the last time I wore a pair of shorts was in the late 1970's, when I attended camp each summer for seven weeks. I loved them—they were brown, cotton and cuffed, and they were festooned with eight little buttons, four on each side. It was all part of an old-fashioned camp uniform. It didn't occur to me then but as I think now, they really were very chic (although you never wanted to be in urgent need of a bathroom, as those buttons were a time consuming detail that stumped many a camper).
But that was a loooooong time ago, and in recent years I just never saw the need for shorts, outside of exercise garb. I've worn short skirts, and short dresses…but shorts? Not so much.
Wouldn't you know, shorts are having a major fashion moment this year. It started a season or two ago, when designers suggested shorts be worn in winter (with tights under them) and all summer long as a dressy alternative to, say, a skirt. I have resisted….until now. My thinking is this: Sometimes you want the look of a skirt but need the ease of…pants (or a close proximity thereof). Sometimes a skirt feels too grown up, too office-y, too dressy. Shorts can be fun and playful for sure, but also, when done right, totally appropriate for a summer party. Almost, dare I say it, skirt-like. So I went shopping, and I tried a LOT of shorts, and this is what I learned:
1. Go for fabrics that have a bit of structural integrity so they stand away from the leg instead of cling.
2. Go for dressy fabrics (taffeta, brocade) if you want to wear them in the evening.
3. Embrace color, and also prints so they look sufficiently stylish and not at all like casual weekend wear.
4. Wear them with heels—not the sky high variety, but something in the 2 to 3 inch range—in either a wedge or a traditional style. Honestly, your legs will look so much better.
5. Use self-tanner and MOISTURIZER. When showing that much skin, make sure that skin glows.
Go! Buy! Be Chic!

Madison Bell, of Park City, Utah, was recently selected to represent Utah State University as a student intern for Senator Orrin Hatch, of the United States Senate. Madison recently relocated to Washington D.C., where she will reside for the school semester.
As an intern in Senator Hatch's office, Bell will have the opportunity to see first-hand the workings of a congressional office and observe the political process in action. Her responsibilities include attending Senate hearings, assisting legislative assistants with research on specific projects, responding to constituent mail and tracking legislation. Bell will also conduct private tours of the U.S. Capitol, help sort mail, meet and greet constituents, answer telephones and work on other projects as needed.
Of her experience, Bell said, "I feel very fortunate and honored to have been selected to represent Utah State University as an intern for Senator Hatch. The Senator has provided great leadership while serving as a United States Senator. He has been a great example for Utah, and I look forward to the educational opportunities I will receive while working in his office. It is a fantastic opportunity to be an intern in Washington D.C. with the upcoming national presidential and congressional elections taking place in October."
A limited number of internships are available each year for the Senator's staff and the Judiciary Committee staff. Preference is given to full-time college juniors and seniors who are residents of Utah or who are currently attending a Utah university or college.
Bell is sponsored by Utah State University, where she is currently a junior, studying political science and Mandarin Chinese. In 2010, Bell was chosen from over 500 high school student applicants to represent Utah State University for four years as an Ambassador. Her Ambassador responsibilities include recruiting high school students and providing campus tours to potential students and families. Bell has participated at a number of Utah high school college recruitment days to recruit students to USU, including Park City High School.
Bell graduated from Park City High School in 2010. While at Park City High School, she participated in student government, Chinese student exchange programs and athletics.
During her freshman year at U.S.U. she spearheaded the efforts to organize their first Women's Lacrosse team.
Madison is the daughter of Richard and Judy Bell.

Brooks: Feverish Finish Sends Buffs To NCAA Nationals
ERIE - At dinner Friday night, Anne Kelly saw a little something extra in her players' eyes, and it was nothing that might have been brought on by five-alarm salsa on their burritos. Kelly and her Colorado women's golf team were dining at a local Mexican eatery after another pedestrian round - actually it was a round that could have stomped their season tortilla flat - in the NCAA Women's West Regional.
Shooting a 301 Friday at the Colorado National Golf Club - four shots worse than their first-day score - the Buffaloes had spiraled into a tie with Illinois for ninth. They had 18 holes remaining on Saturday to try and pull themselves out of their home-course funk and solidify a top eight finish, which would send them (and their coach) to the NCAA National Championships for the first time...more

Tickets will become available to Rock Hall Members on Thursday, February 7 at 10 a.m. EST and will become available to the general public on Friday, February 8 at 10 a.m. EST.
This event is free with a reservation at http://tickets.rockhall.com or in-person at the Rock Hall Box Office.
Postal worker Jimmy Baynes supplemented his weekly paycheck through Baynes Foto Service at 2220 East 87th Street, primarily photographing local events in the African-American community. Though Baynes was not a trained photographer, the images he created from the 1950s into the 1980s, including weddings, beauty competitions, burlesque shows and musical performances, provide a candid glimpse into African-American life, music and culture. Throughout the years, Baynes' photographs appeared in Cleveland magazines and newspapers, such as the Call and Post.
The bulk of the photographs in the Jimmy Baynes Collection feature prominent jazz, R&B, and rock and roll musicians of the 1950s and 1960s, including the likes of Louis Armstrong, Ruth Brown, Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Louis Jordan, Memphis Slim and Lloyd Price. Also included in the collection are images of local performers, radio deejays, and venues. The exhibit will be on display at the Library and Archives through the end of April.
This program will be hosted by director of library and archives Andy Leach and feature a panel with curatorial director Howard Kramer, head archivist Jennie Thomas, and special guest George Hendricks of Cleveland vocal group the Hesitations. Attendees are encouraged to share stories about Cleveland music history and the places and people depicted in the photographs. Explore the Jimmy Baynes Collection at the Rock Hall's Library and Archives here.

Okay, I hate Black Friday. I see it as the nadir to which capitalism can sink, bringing out the worst kind of competitive spirit and materialism fostered by the ideals of individualism and the drive to win.
On the other hand, great deals on good local food are always welcome, and spending on ephemeral pleasure instead of the latest in Blu-Rays or video games is always a wiser investment. So Liberty Heights Fresh Black Friday sale caught my eye: Twenty percent off everything, including gift cards and gift baskets.
High quality and unique specialty olive oils and vinegars, rare globally sourced chocolate bars, Rustichella d'Abruzzo pastas, Zursun heirloom beans and lentils, locally made Creminelli sausages, Jeni's Splendid Ice-creams–you could stock your pantry for months.
Generally, it's sad but true that better food is more expensive food, but in my opinion, there's no better place to spend than on food that is going into your own body. Chances are, it's supporting a small business somewhere and doing the good earth a favor as well. (Anyone watch Ken Burns' Dust Bowl last week?)
So go grab a cart and fill it up at Liberty Heights Fresh. And don't forget they'll be open tomorrow morning too.

Checking out new Holladay restaurant Luna Blanca Taqueria. Read More
(thanks to Vintage Mixer for the foto) When my husband and I moved to the 15th & 15th neighborhood last year, we were thrilled to move into built-in restaurant territory. When neither of us wants to cook, Mazza beckons for a takeout lunch, and Fresco and The Paris are two minutes up the street for a pleasant dinner. The neighborhood's only drawback is its early-morning offerings: take your pick between Einstein's bagels or Starbucks. Both places are hopping with our neighbors every morning, but we just can't bring ourselves to join that club. Yes, I am a snob: I prefer my coffee local and my bagels truly steamed, thanks. So you can imagine my glee when Caputo's on 15th announced that they would start serving breakfast on the weekends. It's a nice place for a quick bite to eat before you head out for errands on a weekend. The bright space is matched by a pretty limited breakfast menu: Your choices are basically an egg sandwich or a kouing aman imported from downtown's Les Madeleines. Both options are great for a quick morning bite. The kouing aman needs no introduction and shatters just as beautifully as you'd expect. The egg sandwich comes on nicely toasted buttered bread, with melted provolone, gran biscotto ham and - this is what really sells me - fried eggs from Provo's Clifford Farm. (thanks to cosmohippiechef for the image) There may be another place in town to get local eggs for breakfast, but I don't know of one. As a reformed vegan who's still a little skeeved by industrial farming, I really appreciate this. I love the Caputo organization for sticking to their principles for sourcing their ingredients. Because oh yum, these eggs are good. So far, though, my husband and I seem to be the only ones who've gotten the memo. In a month of Sundays, we've only seen one other customer pick up a sandwich in the morning. Part of this may be a signage problem—according to the posted hours, the deli doesn't open until 10 on Sundays. But with the recent closure of downtown's Caputo's By Night, we realize how much these small local startup ventures need our patronage to stay in business. We would really like to be able to enjoy our local egg sandwich on Caputo's patio next summer. Please, please, please, help keep these egg sandwiches coming and come out to Caputo's some morning soon. Also: the coffee comes from Millcreek Roasters. So even if you don't want breakfast, at least come fill up your mug with local brew instead of Einstein's "Darn Good Coffee" or Starbucks' latest milkshake/coffee drink. ___________________________________ Read More

Turn your thing into A Thing.
Webinars. Virtual tradeshows. Web and audio conferencing. If you're looking for help, there are a thousand alternatives out there — and just as many more companies who'll try to sell you all the pieces and parts they think you need. And sure. They'll work… If what you want is the same boring thing as everybody else.
But to succeed today — to turn your thing into A Thing — you need a different kind of partner.
Someone with their finger on the most current technology. Someone who can make it all play together nicely, whether you need just a conference call or the biggest virtual trade show anyone's ever seen. Someone who knows how to find you an audience, and then put butts in seats. Someone who takes care of the little stuff so you can focus on making your thing the best thing that's ever been… thinged.
You need Lighthouse Conferencing.
Webinars backed by full-service event marketing
It doesn't take much to slap some slides into PowerPoint, share your screen, and call it a webinar.

Lighthouse Conferencing's proprietary webinar marketing process numbers more than 100 steps, each one designed to attract viewers and keep them engaged until the second you turn off the lights. Our webinars drive sales — and results.
Conferencing from an Adobe Connect Strategic Partner

Not anymore. With Lighthouse Conferencing — a proud Adobe Connect Strategic Partner — you'll turn your conferences from drab to dynamite.
Affordable tradeshows with global reach
No travel. No booths. No swag bags. No crappy food. No Ted from Corporate. No booth girls. No Ted from Corporate being awkward with booth girls. Just attendee engagement, actionable data — and a fraction of the cost. Honestly… Why wouldn't your partners and prospects love a virtual tradeshow?

All non-native species are included with notes on their first discovery in the state and comments on invasive tendencies. Rare native species that appear to be declining or to have shrinking ranges are also noted. With use in conjuction with its companion website michiganflora.net, this book is an essential reference for anyone interested in appreciating Michigan's natural heritage and understanding our ever-changing environment.
