So… I know we just got back from Boston and I'm still working on part 2 of that recap, but our Los Angeles event is already right around the corner – next Thursday, February 5th at the new SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills!
In honor of Awards Season and the location of this event, we're doing an "Old Hollywood Glam" theme and will be sharing tons of fun ideas for hosting your own "Red Carpet" bash at home with friends. Of course there will also be yummy food & drinks, along with a cocktail demo from Chambord's mixologist! (Side note: Since the theme colors are red, white, & black – a lot of the decor ideas & drink recipes could easily translate for Valentine's Day celebrations as well.)
There are 2 available time sessions: 6:30-8pm & 8:30-10pm. Registration is now open and the event is free, but space is limited, so please make sure to reserve your spot online! (Must be at least 21 to attend.)
Official invite is below…. hope to see you there!
P.S. My advice is to come a little early (or stay late) and check out the hotel – the interior was designed by Philippe Starck and is VERY unique! I just saw it for the first time this weekend and felt like I had stepped into a grown-up Alice in Wonderland.

Wilderness: Fire Coral Cuts (cont.)
Fire Coral Cuts and Stings Treatment
The following guidelines are suggested to treat fire coral cuts:
If the person who has come into contact with fire coral develops shortness of breath; swelling of the tongue, face, or throat; or other signs of an allergic reaction, the patient should be treated for an allergic reaction. If no signs of allergic reaction are present, pain may be relieved with one to two tablets of acetaminophen (Tylenol) every 4 hours (not to exceed 3 grams in a 24 hour time period) and/or one to two tablets of ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) every 6-8 hours. Some health care professionals prefer naproxen (Aleve) for pain treatment.

NEW YORK - Johnny Manziel and Manti Te'o are in position to make Heisman Trophy history.
Manziel, the redshirt freshman quarterback from Texas A&M, and Te'o, Notre Dame's star linebacker, along with Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, were invited Monday to attend Saturday's presentation ceremony in Manhattan.
Manziel is the favorite, and would be the first freshman to win college football's most famous individual award - and first Texas A&M player since halfback John David Crow won the school's only Heisman in 1957.

Te'o would be the first defense-only player to win the Heisman. The Fighting Irish have seven winners, tied for the most with Ohio State and Southern California, but none since Tim Brown in 1987.
Te'o became the face of the No. 1 team in the country and leader of a defense that has been the toughest to score upon in the nation. The senior, a graduate of Punahou School, has intercepted seven passes this season, second-most in the country and tops for a linebacker, with a team-
best 103 tackles. Earlier Monday, he received this season's Nagurski Award as the nation's top defensive player, and the Butkus Award, given to the country's best linebacker.
Te'o and the unbeaten Irish face No. 2 Alabama in the Bowl Championship Series title game on Jan. 7 in Miami.
Manziel led the 10th-ranked Aggies to a 10-2 record in their first season in the Southeastern Conference. With a knack for improvisation, Manziel racked up an SEC-record 4,600 yards of total offense, including 1,181 rushing, tops in the conference this year.
Klein is a multitalented quarterback like Manziel, but with a different approach. The 6-foot-5, 226-pound senior is a bullish runner who scored 22 touchdowns and threw for 15 in leading the seventh-ranked Wildcats (11-1) to the Big 12 title.
No player from Kansas State has won the Heisman.

An Emptier Nest BeginsKatie Allison
Four weeks ago, my 2-year old-daughter, our youngest, turned three. Last week, 5-year-old C turned 6. And in the seven days ahead, C starts first grade, 15-year-old E starts 10th grade, and 17-year-old J will both turn 18 years old (!!) and move out of our house and into the dorm to begin her freshman year of college.
That's a whole lot of growth and change and transition happening for our family in a very short span of time. I knew that, of course, and I have been anticipating the biggest of the changes for months and months, namely, J starting college and living away from family for the first time. As I would imagine is the case for most parents of entering-college freshmen, when I think about what lies ahead for my oldest daughter starting this week, I am hugely excited for her while at the same time more than a little wistful and flat out astonished by how damn fast her childhood flew by. Could it really have already been 18 years? Is it actually time for my little girl to move out and start the first chapter of her young adult life? This concept is absolutely mind-blowing to me.
Even as I have been acutely aware of all these big changes happening this month for each of my children individually, I had kind of missed the big picture of how J's transition in particular will shift our life together as a family, and my life as a mother. A few days ago, however, I had a sort of "aha" moment when it hit me that with Henry gone, and with J now moving out, that leaves only three children at home. And since E will continue to spend every other week with his dad, in his other home just a few miles across town, that means that half the time now, there will only be TWO children at home. For our household and family, that's kind of not very many.
I always, always wanted a big, busy family. I am happiest when our house is full of kids running in and out: my children, my nieces and nephews, and my kids' friends. Sure, I enjoy the rare occasion when it's just me or just Jon and me at home alone, but I like it best when everyone is around, with a few extras thrown in for good measure. The best evenings for me are the ones where as I putter around the kitchen, Jon hangs out on the living room couch reading a book, I can hear music coming from J's room, as well as the loud jeers and cheers from E and his friends shooting hoops into the absurdly large arcade basketball game we have set up in "the big room" upstairs, while the two youngest "the little girls," as our whole family refers to C and G run in and out with dolls and questions and requests to know when supper will be ready. I love coming home after an extra long day at work to find the porch lights on, with various teenage offspring and their cousins hanging out on the porch swing. I like seeing hula hoops and trikes strewn all over the front walkway on a weekend afternoon, and I love watching out the window as E patiently teaches G to play catch. This everyday rattle and hum of our biggish family living life inside and outside of the oversized old house we call home is what feels good and right to me. I love being part of all of that.
Of course, our whole family's life changed in a brutally involuntary way three years ago when our oldest son and big brother died. We had already missed him terribly during the nine months he spent away in two therapeutic programs for kids battling addiction. But with Henry gone forever, none of us would ever again hear him meandering around the house in his bare feet, plucking at his guitar. There would be no more sibling spats for me to referee between Henry and J over what to watch on TV, and no more frisbee games in our yard between Henry and his little brother. C would never again be swung around and around by her oldest brother in gales of giggles until I ordered him to stop before he made his little sister spit up her supper, and our youngest, G born three weeks after Henry died would never know day-to-day family life with her big brother at all.
So with my oldest taken from all of us too soon – before ever had the chance to move into a dorm to start his own first year of college – we have all felt his absence in our family and our house. But still, with two younger teenagers at home, and two little sisters chasing around after them, not to mention the giant dog, the cousins, houseguests we love to have, and Jon and me happily attempting to contain and direct the chaos (with varying degrees of success on any given day), in the past few years, there has still been a whole lot of activity around these parts.
Now, though, there will be a very radical shift in the routine sounds and activity of our household. While I will still and forever be the mother of five children, Jon and I will actually live with only three children, with one of them only at our house every other week until he, too moves out and into his own freshman dorm. And I now know all to well that the period between this week's first day of 10th grade for him, and that day when he and all his buddies whom I love having hang out at our house stroll across the stage to snag their high school diplomas will pass in the blink of an eye.
Life goes on for these four amazing children whom Jon and I are so proud and privileged to get to watch grow up and grow into the people they are meant to be, and also for me, as a mother who had her first baby at age 23, and who can't really remember what life was like before the busy, full, messy family life I have loved with all my heart (almost) every day since then.
I know that our family is complete. Jon and I are 100 percent in agreement that we are done having children ourselves; we have the family we were meant to have, and it feels right. I am so glad that my five children have had and will have each other, the memories from years past, and the memories with one another yet to be had in the years ahead as brothers and sisters. Life including family life and life as a mother is all about change and transitions, and about the connections that endure and expand across and through those changes and transitions. I know this. I knew this the day we brought baby Henry home from the hospital.
But for at least a little bit of time during this current season of radical metamorphisis in our household, I will allow myself to remain a bit wistful about these latest changes, even as I cheer each of the kids' milestones, relationships with one another and their continued healthy growth – the things that are my primary focus and greatest goal as their mother. I will likely wander around our quieter, less cluttered house on at least a few of the nights this fall when the only two children at home are already fast asleep, feeling a bit like a mother cat getting used to her kittens going to new homes. I will feel happy when the little girls are running around making noise and mess and fun, even if it's just the two of them, and I will revel in hearing E and his buddies ravaging our freezer for pizza bites at midnight on the weeks he is at our house. While the little girls are anxious about seeing J packing up her bedroom this week to get ready to move, they are also already so excited about the dorm room sleepover that big sister has promised them will happen at some point during her first year away. I will also certainly continue to have late nights as I have since my oldest child died three years ago where everyone else, including Jon, is fast asleep, and I can't sleep myself, when I will go upstairs and open the giant wooden chest where I've packed away all of Henry's special things. I will allow myself to cry some over his favorite books and sweaters, his skateboard and his lacrosse stick, his baby book and his Christmas stocking.
And then I will close the wooden chest up again, and go kiss whatever sleeping children happen to be at home that night, safe in their beds, and I will silently give thanks for all of it – every bit of every day so far, and for the days and all the changes yet to come.

"I'm happy for him," Clooney's Gravity director, Alfonso Cuarón, told PEOPLE at Tuesday's Time 100 Gala in New York. "To me George is a terrific and a fantastic person. As a husband I think he will be the same. He's a guy who is so generous and respectful, and I think he will be good at marriage, too. George is also genuinely honest. And, it's so much fun to be around him."
Clooney's close friend Charlie Rose, co-anchor of CBS This Morning, says the Oscar winner shares the same interests with Alamuddin, 36. Rose also has gotten to know Alamuddin, who attended a conference that he hosted in Aspen last year.
"George has a very serious side to him," the veteran journalist, 72, who has spent time with Clooney, 52, at his home in Lake Como, told PEOPLE. "He's a prankster and a damn good actor, but he also cares about issues as she does."
"Amal is incredibly accomplished and has a substantive legal mind. I have a lot of admiration for what she does," Farrow, 26, told PEOPLE. "She's tremendously charming and beguiling. Just look at her career. When I'm ready to do an interview on privacy law or when I'm interviewing someone connected to Julian Assange or Glenn Greenwald, she's one of the people that I turn to. She's wonderful."
For Martha Stewart, who is a fan of Clooney's films, she was happy to hear that the Hollywood heartthrob finally decided to settle down.
"I thought it was about time!" Stewart, 72, told PEOPLE. "They make a great couple."
Stewart has got a recipe recommendation for the bride-to-be, too – if she ever finds time to cook.
"George is a healthy eater. She should make one of our one-pot meals," Stewart said. "It's a new book that is coming out and everything is made in one pot like pasta and chicken ... They have busy schedules, and making a one-pot meal, they can prepare healthy meals in a quick and easy way. I think that's a meal he will enjoy."
For much more on George and Amal's engagement news, including an exclusive photo of the ring and a closer look at the woman who won the heart of the ultimate Hollywood bachelor, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE

Most place mats are instantly forgettable, good for little more than sopping up food stains and spills.
The place mats at Gauchos, on the other hand, provide an educational lesson. Vegetarians, avert your eyes. A picture of a rather massive specimen of beef cattle dominates the mat; numbers point out seven cuts of meat, explained in detail on the side.
The rib is the cut with the largest variety of tastes, texture and aromas. The top sirloin, tender and with little fat, is ideal for roasting, while the strip loin has accentuated taste because its fat layer keeps the meat moist. And the flap is a "very tasty cut," ideal for ground meat, soups or broths. Who knew?
Gauchos, located just off the Rt. 28/Westfield circle, opened in July. A Brazilian BBQ may not seem a Westfield kind of place, but its small, cheery, cozy interior makes for a pleasant dining experience.
Meat lovers, rejoice. The portions are ample, and you can partake of the carnivore's dream dish -- rodizio, the all-you-can-eat sampling of ribs, chicken, pork loin, top sirloin and other meats. "You're not being charged by the weight of your plate," a helpful sign reads.
But vegetarians and seafood lovers needn't despair. There's a nicely stocked salad bar, regular salads, grilled salmon and shrimp in garlic sauce.
The chicken salad, on the salad bar, was the first surprise. Dotted with raisins and carrots, it was smooth, sweetish and entirely satisfying. The house salad boasted crisp greens and a robust, vinegary dressing. You may find it too strong; it got my attention, and held it.
On to the main course. The sirloin steak (includes rice, beans and fries, $14.95 at lunch, $17.95 at dinner) was a juicy, beautifully seasoned slab of meat. The whole BBQ ribs (includes rice and fries, $12.95 at lunch, $14.95 at dinner) was a dry-rubbed, smoky delight.
When it came time for dessert, my dining companions needed no prompting.
"I'm interested in all of it," Carly announced. She described the grilled pineapple as "unreal -- meaty, sweet and juicy." The passion fruit cake was equally well received.
"This cake has like six different textures," Carly began. "Creamy, cakey, frosty .¤.¤."
"Melt-in-your-mouthy," Claire added.
"Soggy, but in a good way," Carly continued.
That's only five, but who's counting?
One disappointment: the chocolate flan; you'll find better at most Ironbound restaurants.
Other items include grilled pork chops ($11.95 lunch, $13.95 dinner); grilled salmon ($14.95 lunch, $17.95 dinner); pork loin sandwich ($6.95, includes fries) and a Brazilian sausage sandwich ($6.95, includes fries). The rodizio is $17.95 at lunch, $26.95 at dinner for adults; $9.95 and $12.95, respectively, for kids 6-12 years old.
A gaucho is a term often used to describe horsemen or "cowboys" -- "strong, honest, silent but proud types" -- in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil. How do I know? The place mat at Gauchos said so.

TORONTO -- Chris Bosh and the Toronto Raptors were grateful to be home after a woeful road trip.
Bosh had 25 points and 14 rebounds, and the Raptors ended a six-game losing streak with a 95-87 victory over the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
Joey Graham added 16 points and eight rebounds for the Raptors, who returned home following an 0-5 western trip.
"We needed this," Bosh said. "We had our road woes on the West Coast, but we wanted to protect our home court and just get the monkey off our back."
The Cavaliers, who played the night before, missed their first eight shots of the fourth quarter and finished 6-for-26 in the period.
"Can we get some defensive credit today? Damn," Toronto's T.J. Ford said. "I believe it was us. We gave a great effort and I think it kind of wore them down. When it came down to the stretch those open shots they got were either long or short."
LeBron James had 30 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Cavaliers, who are 0-3 in the second game of back-to-backs this season. Cleveland beat Memphis on Tuesday night.
"I would hope that playing in a back-to-back had nothing to do with that loss," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "I do not want to be an excuse team."
The Raptors blew another big lead and struggled in the fourth quarter, but Cleveland was worse than Toronto in the final period. Toronto went just 5-for-15 in the fourth.
"We definitely needed this win to boost our confidence," Graham said. "If it took us not to hit shots and play great defense, than that's what we needed to do."
Toronto started the fourth period on a 10-0 run capped by Fred Jones' 3-pointer and Bosh's layup.
Ford's short jumper and layup gave Toronto a 93-85 lead with 1:17 left.
James made a jumper, but Jones followed with two free throws and Cleveland missed a number of shots in the final two minutes.
"We used a lot of energy coming back, and on the road it is difficult to get down like that," James said.
Bosh had 12 points and Toronto led by as many as 19 in the first half, but Damon Jones scored 10 points during a 19-2 second-quarter Cleveland run. Fans booed after Damon Jones' 3-pointer tied it at 47.
Toronto shot 46 percent compared to 39 percent for Cleveland.
- Morris Peterson was scratched because of a slightly torn muscle in his left elbow, ending the longest consecutive games streak in the NBA. Peterson played in 371 straight games since Feb. 12, 2002. The elbow has bothered him for more than a week and an MRI on Wednesday showed the slight tear. He's listed as day to day.
- Toronto coach Sam Mitchell said he hasn't sensed that he's lost anybody in the locker room despite the struggles.
- Longtime PA announcer Herbie Kuhn missed game because he's adopting a child in Africa.
- Cleveland's starting backcourt of Eric Snow and David Wesley combined for just six points and five assists.

"I'm from Atlanta. You can take the girl out of the south, but you can't take the south out of the girl," the 90210 vixen said Saturday in Las Vegas while celebrating the launch of the Fallout: New Vegas video game. "I like to shoot guns."
The 23-year-old safe shooter even has her eye on a particular model to call her own: a Colt M1911 with a handle made from Mother of Pearl. One thing she won't be doing with it though is shooting live targets.
"I like to shoot targets that are not living," McCord said at the party at Rain Nightclub of sticking to shooting ranges and target practice. "Unless they're on a video game, then I don't mind spreading some blood."

So as a result of my 2012 goals, I am going to do a recap of each month of things that I've checked off my list, plus additional accomplishments. Meghan, Lori, Meghan, and Whitney are hosting a link-up every month for us to share our progress for the year, and I was happy to join in!
- Be happy. I read The Happiness Project, and I worked on focusing on what truly makes me happy and actively acknowledging and enjoying simple moments.
- Relax more. I chose not to do dishes every single day, and instead I would sit on the couch and read.
- Write. I submitted another story to Chicken Soup, which also crosses off part of #23 from my 24 Before 24 list.
- Read at least one book a month. I read 4: The Happiness Project, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mocking Jay
- Cook a new recipe once a month. (Quinoa and Peas, Turkey Meatballs, Baked Ziti, Amanda's Farfalle)
- Save money. I put away a portion of my paycheck that I would have spent on clothes/home stuff. I also started the "$5 Savings Jar."
- No shop months. Didn't shop for all of January! Even when our coffee maker broke...
- Give once a month. I sent in the rest of my change to The Shine Project. I also donated $5 when I registered for one of my running races.
Extra Accomplishments for the Month:
- Ran my first race of the year - Joe Kleinerman 10k
- Started half marathon training
- Finally went to a doctor about my knee and hip pain
- Did the entire month of the De-Clutter Calendar for January
- Spent an entire day writing (crossed off #1 from 24 Before 24 list)
- Ate more fruits and veggies
- Booked my flight to Nashville for the Rock 'n' Roll Country Half!

President Barack Obama has responded to voter anger over federal spending.
He has announced he will be focusing more on the nation's deficit during the last two years of his term.
Obama said starting next year there will be more serious talks on how to balance the budget.
"They're going to have to signal some kind of willingness to work with Republicans to cut spending," Sen. John Boehner, R-Ohio., told The Associated Press. "Cutting government spending is what the American people want, and it's an approach neither party has tried yet."
He said he wants to discuss topics like entitlements, defense spending and revenues.
Obama argues his first six months in office were a challenge, because he had to keep spending money in order to "save the economy."
"It's a very different reality for the president for the next two years, which is not to say that nothing gets done," said Norman Ornstein, a political scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. "Even in a rancorous and nasty environment, it seems to me there may some areas of opportunity."
Obama's Approval Numbers Continue to Decline

I have a question. Does this mean that Visual Studio team will be using this technology when compiling the IDE itself, so that the startup times and performance of Visual Studio can take advantage of these benefits?
David Anderson
@madscientist:Document your code-first POCO's and use Sandcastle instead.
@briankel: Thanks Brian. This was exactly what I was looking for. You rock!
Is there any possibility of us getting direction on the future of WPF from someone at Microsoft? Should we still be investing in it? Amazing technology (and by far my favorite), but some concerns as things like HTML5/MVC get all the buzz, and we don't hear much about WPF any more.
@Flynn0r I agree to an extent here, the main thing I find really frustrating is differentiating file types in the solution explorer, and I know they are trying to clean up and erradicate toolbar commands to some extent, but some of them are useful and its hard there too.
Other than that I completely agree, VS11 is amazing and I'm already developing some production projects with it.
Edit: Removed my comment.
Edit: Removed my comment.
@Robert: Well, there are PCL's but that's about it and doesn't really classify as tooling I suppose. Also Robert looking forward to the next video from you with the Entity Framework team!
@ aL3891: The shell was rewritten in WPF, but there are still many many parts of it that are not such as many of the dialogs and docking items. I don't have any current advice for VS11 Installation since mine went smoothly but try checking the installation logs if there are any.
@aL3891 - VS2010 is a WPF shell and there is an extension that allows you to edit the shell color in a limited way

The Balinese are some of the most spiritual people I ever met. Two days before new years day the people of all the villages take turn at going to the beach for a purification/exorcism ceremony. There are depictions of demons and dragons and all kinds of good spirits meant to help rid the island of bad spirits. On the last day of the year, they make as much noise as possible using canons and fireworks and the likes to scare away evil spirits. And on new year's eve, just as you think you've seen everything, comes the unbelievably colorful Ogoh-Ogoh parade
Then on the first day of the new year a strict curfew is enforced all over the island. No one is allowed to leave home. Tourists must stay in their hotel room. It is forbidden to use electricity or even to light up a candle. Everyone also has to keep silence. The Balinese don't even speak to one another that day. They only make gestures to communicate. The idea behind it is that they believe the evil spirits will come back to Earth on the first day of the year. When they find not trace of human activity they will think the island is deserted and move on to another island. Bali will therefore be free of evil spirits for the year to come. How cool is that ? I was so happy to be part of it. They take this very seriously. The police patrols the streets that night and arrests anyone that makes noise or those that make themselves visible to the evil spirits.
Finally on the second day of the new year everyone travels and visit their family to exchange new year wishes. And they also go and meet their enemies and apologize for anything bad they might have done to each other in the past year. And they promise each other love and respect for the coming year. That way everyone can start the new year free of worries and bad spirit influence and they can all look at the future optimistically.
I spent a whole rainy afternoon sitting with and old man who explained me all the beliefs they have in the bad spirits and Black Magic. The Balinese are so superstitious. They spend most of their time trying to please the good spirits and are always very careful not to irritate the bad spirits. Every morning they go out and put offerings in the streets in front of their homes and businesses. It's all very colorful. They spent something like one third of their revenue on spiritual celebrations and offerings.
Those celebrations will remain in my memory forever.

M&A deal of the Quarter: Liberty Global's $24.1bn Virgin Media buy
The $24.1bn deal by US cable giant Liberty Global for Virgin Media in the UK, announced on February 5, was a Christmas blockbuster.
Many of the deal's critical moments came over a two-week period spanning Christmas and New Year. It marks the largest US outbound transaction and the largest redomicile merger on record, according to data provider Dealogic. It also sees the long-awaited entry into the UK of Liberty Global chief executive John Malone.
Liberty spied an opportunity last autumn to do a deal, enlisting the help of LionTree Advisors, the US boutique set up by Aryeh Bourkoff following his departure from UBS in 2011. In Virgin's corner was long-time adviser Goldman Sachs, with a team that included managing directors Peter Cross and Mike Smith, with JP Morgan brought in later.
The JP Morgan team was led by David Lomer, co-head of telecoms, media and technology investment banking for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Chris Ventrasca, head of M&A for North America, and Ben Berinstein, a managing director.
Informal talks began towards the end of August last year, and it quickly became clear that the deal would be an acquisition, rather than a merger. Talks moved up a gear through December, with Credit Suisse, a long-time Liberty Global adviser, brought in to provide a view on whether the deal could be financed.
Marisa Drew, co-head of the global markets solutions group at Credit Suisse, said: "We received the call on the Friday before Christmas, ahead of a Denver board meeting on Christmas Eve. Liberty needed to know whether the deal was doable, and what followed was a Herculean effort to find people in disparate parts of the world who had gone away on holiday ahead of the Christmas break to come together to do the work and get enough confidence as one can in a short period of time."
The Swiss bank's answer: yes, it can be done. Liberty Global then handed Virgin a revised proposal on New Year's Day.
The deal proceeded, with Liberty and Virgin announcing five weeks later that Liberty would acquire Virgin in a stock and cash merger valued at approximately $23.3bn. Liberty, incorporated in Delaware, will redomicile to the UK, and will continue to be listed on Nasdaq.
LionTree was listed as lead financial adviser to Liberty, while Credit Suisse was named financial adviser and sole global co-ordinator for the $8bn debt financing.
The Swiss bank's team included Drew, Giuseppe Monarchi, co-head of Emea M&A in Europe, and Matthew Cestar, head of leveraged finance for Emea in Europe. In the US, John Trousdale, vice-chairman of the bank's global M&A group and Jeff Murphy, a managing director and senior member of the TMT group, worked on the deal.

There are many variables to such a project, and dominant issue is size. The Means CostWorks site places the average parking garage at 145,000 square feet. This is assuming a five-story construction with each story measuring in at ten feet in height.
The building of parking garage requires a knowledgeable contractor, an architect or an architectural firm, a team of subcontractors, and a cooperative developer/owner to get the job done in a reasonable time frame. It is also going to entail a great deal of site preparation and machinery costs.
What is included:
Most developers of parking facilities rely on both an architect and a contractor, and the architect will require approximately 6% of the total building budget;
(145k square feet)
Cost to build the average parking garage varies greatly by region (and even by zipcode). Get free estimates from builders in your city.

MGM Bankruptcy: Inside the Courtroom Drama
MGM Studios' dramatic restructuring is nearly done, with the "Lion," as the company is known in Hollywood, finally in bankruptcy court. Today, Jay Goffman, a restructuring guru representing MGM, stood before a judge to deliver the epilogue sprinkled with the kind of drama (and a little comic relief) usually poured into a silver screen blockbuster.
MGM's restructuring culminated in a "prepackaged" bankruptcy approved by nearly all creditors in advance. Companies need creditors holding roughly two-thirds of the studio's debt and more than half of individual debt holders to vote in favor of a reorganization plan to get it blessed by a judge.
(Read an MGM's bankruptcy-court filing here.)
By last Friday evening, MGM had about 80% on both scores, Goffman said today. After placating activist investor and MGM creditor Carl Icahn, the studio had approval from nearly all creditors. Including accrued interest, lenders are forgiving about $5 billion in debt in exchange for ownership stakes in the studio, said Goffman, from law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
Goffman began with fawning praise for all who worked on MGM's restructuring. "Like any great drama, there are lots of other players," he said. He introduced at least a dozen lawyers, bankers and other restructuring types in a style typically reserved for the Yankees opening day lineup. "I've never had a restructuring where people worked better together, more cohesively," Goffman intoned.
Goffman saved his most detailed praise for Stephen Cooper, the turnaround specialist who served as a top MGM executive the past year-and-a-half. Goffman told Judge Stuart Bernstein that Cooper had worked on Enron, LyondellBasell and Krispy Kreme before the judge interjected.
"Before, or after they went into bankruptcy?" the judge asked, to courtroom laughter.
"After," Goffman said, clarifying that Cooper typically oversees companies going through restructurings as opposed to being the executive at the helm as the firm deteriorates.
With that, Goffman launched into the narrative of what beset MGM. We've detailed most of MGM's travails in the pages of the WSJ. But Goffman added some color to the negotiations to save the storied studio—"maybe the most iconic in history," Goffman said, noting its more than 200 Academy Awards and rights to the "James Bond" film series. "There's been a lot of intriguing drama over the past few weeks."
Most know MGM's 2005 leveraged buyout went sour and the studio couldn't repay debt amid plunging DVD sales, nor make enough new hits to make those older films more attractive to customers. At the time of the LBO "everyone had high hopes for the future," Goffman said. But – cue dramatic music – the DVD market tanked. (Lightning, cue strings) The recession hit. And the movies sometimes stunk. "We didn't have great luck with certain motion picture releases," Goffman admitted. (Please see: Time Machine, Hot Tub.)
An attempt to sell the studio flopped. So we'll skip to the late-stage drama between MGM, Lions Gate and Icahn, as relayed by Goffman, who noted to the judge that much of MGM's troubles had been covered "in the newspapers."
MGM over the summer settled on Spyglass founders Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum to take over management of the studio and merge some older films with MGM's library. Lions Gate made a merger proposal, but Icahn, Lions Gate's largest shareholder, had publicly denounced the idea of such a merger and said he would litigate such a deal. He was also suing Lions Gate execs in the meantime. For those reasons, Goffman said, MGM's most influential creditors—including J.P. Morgan, and hedge funds Anchorage and Highland—stayed away from a Lions Gate deal.
Fast forward to the fall. Lions Gate again made an offer to merge with MGM. But MGM asked the rival to provide assurance in writing that Icahn would support such a deal. "They were not able to do that, so those discussions did not proceed," Goffman said.
But Icahn was plotting behind the scenes and soon relayed that he held more than $400 million of MGM's debt and wanted the studio to scrap its plans with Spyglass for the very Lions Gate merger he had once denounced. MGM's creditors balked and Icahn proceeded to make several offers to buy out other creditors to block the Spyglass plan. "He's not a man easily deterred," Goffman said.
But the offers didn't gain traction. "I'm happy to tell you, Your Honor, all of those failed," Goffman said. Icahn remained essentially the only holdout and MGM had the votes to go ahead with its prepackaged bankruptcy. Still, Goffman wanted to bring "a fully consensual plan" before Judge Bernstein. So MGM's creditors and others negotiated with Icahn and made some tweaks to the deal, which we've detailed before.
With the changes, Icahn agreed to vote for the plan, meaning just about every creditor was on board. "Fortunately for all of us, Mr. Icahn wasn't successful," Goffman said, referring to his attempts to scuttle MGM's restructuring plans.
Goffman also said he was "eternally grateful" to Providence, TPG and other former MGM equity owners for agreeing to get wiped out and not putting up too much of a fuss. Goffman said he was "grateful" or "privileged" a lot –- words you don't typically hear thrown around in bankruptcy.
The judge approved just about all of MGM's routine first-day motions to keep paying employees and others. A hearing to confirm MGM's reorganization plan and send it on the path to exit bankruptcy is scheduled for Dec. 2 — less than a month from now.
"This story couldn't be more fitting for an Academy-Award winning picture," Goffman told the judge.

Sometimes you want the value that's displayed in a cell to depend on a condition that's happening somewhere else. This is where you use a conditional statement and it's a statement that you can test. The way it works is that you output one result if that statement is true, and you output a different result if that statement is false. To do this, you use the IF function. The IF function gets three arguments. The first argument is a statement that you test. For example, you might say the content of Cell C6 > 500.
But when you make that statement or when you have that condition, well, there are two possibilities. Either it's true or it's false. So the IF function will output one value if that statement is true and it'll output another value if that statement is false. So, the general syntax of the IF function is say =IF and then you make the statement. Then you have the value of true and then you have the value of false. You notice that these three arguments are separated with commas. That's really all there is to it.
So let's take a look. What we have here in this sheet is people selling stuff. We have here our salespeople. We have here what they're selling and the commission rate. What we are going to do is we are going to say if the person sold at least $500, they are going to get a commission rate of 10%. If they sold less than $500, they will get a commission rate of 5%. Over here, you see we have a little table. Now once we stuff that commission rate in Column C, we go to Column D and the formula is already done for you.
We are simply going to multiply the sale amount times the rate and then we have the dollar amount of the commission. So, this will be a little more clear once we start doing this. So, let's go into Cell C6 then we'll say =if, open up the parenthesis. Now, we put in the first argument. The argument is the content of the B6>=500. That's it. Did the person sell at least 500 or not? That's true or false. So, we put in comma. That's the end of the first argument.
So, the second argument is what do we want the value of C6 to be if that condition is true? Well, if that condition is true, it means they sold at least $500. They get the higher commission rate. So, we click that 10%. Now, we are going to Auto Fill this down. So we want to make sure this is an absolute reference. So press the F4 key. That inserts the dollar signs and makes it an absolute reference. So that's what we output if true. Put in a comma. Now, we put in the third, last argument. If that condition is false, it means they did not sell at least $500.
They sold under $500. So they get the lower commission rate of 5%. So just click over here in cell J3 that's a lower commission rate. Again, press the F4 key on the keyboard to make that an absolute reference. If you are familiar with absolute references, you might want to go back and watch the movie when we talk about it. That's it. End the parenthesis, hold Ctrl+ Enter, and there we can see its 10%. Now, put your mouse pointer on that little dot in the lower right corner. When the mouse pointer becomes that crosshair, double-click and we fill down to the bottom and look at that.
Then you can eyeball it. So here is someone who sold about $600 and they got 10%. Here is someone who sold under $500 they get 5%. Now, we can see yes indeed, 10% of $509 was $50.99. So, that works. Now, that's great, but wait, there is more. Because a conditional statement, you can use the IF function to output text as well as a number. So, let's do that here. Let's go into cell E6 and type =if and open up the parenthesis and the condition is going to be same.
So, we are going to say is that amount there, the sale amount, is that great than or equal to 500 comma. Now, if it's true, we want to output a comment. So, open up your double quotation marks and we'll type in "Great job!" That's the end of the comment. So close the quotation mark. That's now the end of that argument. Type in a comma. Now, remember this is not English, this is Excel, so the comma has to go outside the quotation mark not inside the quotation mark.
So, if that condition is false, put in another double quotation mark and we will "Better luck next time." Close the quote, close the parenthesis. Press Ctrl+Enter. Again, put your mouse pointer on that Auto Fill handle. When the mouse pointer becomes a crosshair, double-click and now we have the appropriate comment for each one. The IF function conditional statements are great. So, you can always have the value of a cell depend on something else that's happening in the worksheet or even in another worksheet.

Blindfold Gameby Dana Stabenow
IN THAILAND, TWO MEN HIRE A PAIR OF international pirates to smuggle them, a small team of mercenaries, and some equipment aboard a freighter at a Russian port. It's frighteningly easy, and the ship sails east, toward the western coast of North America. The crew onboard the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Sojourner Truth, stationed in the Bering Sea along the Maritime Boundary Line, is busier than usual, catching fishing vessels on the wrong side of the line, but it's not enough to cause undue alarm. In Washington, D.C., a CIA analyst has been hearing rumors about the sale of radioactive material and military equipment on the black market in deep Russia but can't get it confirmed. The analyst, Hugh Rincon, originally from Alaska and more keenly aware than most in Washington of Alaska's vulnerability with its air force base and proximity to the Far East, begins to piece it all together. He can't get anyone to take him seriously, however, least of all the director of the CIA. Then Hugh learns that his estranged wife, Sara Lange, is second in command on the Sojourner Truth in the Bering Sea at the heart of the potential conflict. And the chase is on.

Prepared for Rageby Dana Stabenow
Following A DEEPER SLEEP, her most successful Kate Shugak novel to date, the Edgar Award winner and New York Times bestselling thriller writer Dana Stabenow delivers a nail-biting, all-too-real novel of international suspense. A terrorist filled with resentment, an FBI analyst challenged to be three steps ahead of the intelligence, a Coast Guard captain assigned to keep watch on that very American of symbols from the water, an astronaut who takes her job very seriously-the paths of all of these characters converge on one clear morning in Florida. NASA is preparing to launch the space shuttle, this time with a high-paying visitor on board as a guest, and the FBI and the Coast Guard are doing everything they can to help the launch go off without a hitch. But one Pakistani man with a bottomless personal grudge and the commitment of many zealous men behind him is determined to strike back at the most visible target he can find. Once again Dana Stabenow, who researched this gripping scenario by spending weeks living on board a Coast Guard cutter as it conducted its mission in the Caribbean, delivers an action-driven thriller with an ingenious, frightening, straight-from-the-headlines plot, certain to be her next bestseller.

A Taint in the Blood (Kate Shugak #14)by Dana Stabenow
Recently ensconced in a new cabin following the torching of her house, see A Grave Denied, Kate Shugak receives a visitor: Charlotte Muravieff, from Anchorage. Fashionable Muravieff is in the Alaskan bush to ask Kate to reinvestigate her mother's murder conviction. Kate does just that, and soon people connected with the 30-year-old case start dying. This fourteenth Kate Shugak mystery is among the best in a consistently strong series. Along with the series' typical appealing features--Kate's erotically charged romantic life with Trooper Jim Chopin; delightful character sketches of various residents of the Alaskan bush, including a dog named Mutt; and, of course, the vivid rendering of the Alaskan landscape--Stabenow adds a new element this time: setting the case in Anchorage allows her to portray Kate dealing with life in the city and to consider Alaskan history outside the backcountry.
Though Not Dead (Kate Shugak #18)by Dana Stabenow
[from inside flaps] "The residents of Alaska's largest national park are stunned by the death of one of their oldest members, eighty-seven-year-old Old Sam Dementieff ... even private investigator Kate Shugak. Sam, a lifelong resident, dubbed the "father" of all of the Park rats--even though he had no children of his own--was especially close to Kate, his niece, but even she is surprised to discover that in his will he's left her everything, including a letter instructing her simply to "find my father." Easier said than done, since Sam's father is something of a mystery. An outsider, he disappeared shortly after learning about Sam's existence, taking with him a priceless tribal artifact, a Russian icon. And in the three days after Kate begins her search through Sam's background, she gets threatened--and worse. The flashbacks from Sam's fascinating life, including scenes from major events in Alaska's colorful history, punctuate a gripping story in which Kate does her best to fulfill Sam's last wish without losing her own life to the people who are following her every move, though what they are searching for Kate doesn't even know. In Dana Stabenow's breathtaking new novel, Though Not Dead, the eighteenth to feature Kate Shugak, Kate's search for the long-lost family secrets that have been interwoven with the epic history of an unforgiving land leads to an extraordinary treasure hunt with fatal consequences." Bookshare has most of the books in this series revolving around rural and city life in Alaska where the government allows natives to live a subsistance lifestyle in a state where weather is harsh and unpredictable and survival isn't a right but must be learned and practiced with diligence. Kate Shugak is smart and independent. She travels with her trained, half wolf dog, Mutt. The series is saturated with fascinating current and historic facts about Alaska, its resources and its people. Dana Stabenow also challenges readers with complex plots and frequent mention of fiction and nonfiction books you may have read or may want to read.

Personal Description:
To All My Warrior Sisters and Their Families
Personal Description:
I had my usual yearly gyn appointment, which always included a sonogram. It was the sonogram that alerted my Dr. my left ovary was being obstructed. In the previous sonogram my left ovary was clearly there and no obstruction. My Dr. immediately had me have another sonogram taken by a Radiologist and he too said that the blockage was there. It was possible it could be fibroids. The next step was to come back in two months. I came back to the Radiologist and found that this had grown 2 centimeters! My gyn Dr. immediately had me get an MRI and also made an appointment for me to see an Oncologist at NYU Cancer Institute. After seeing the MRIs, she said I must have a Hysterectomy and Dr. Blank at the NYU Cancer Institute agreed and so did I.
I had no symptoms although by the time I was operated on and the mass had grown to 16 centimeters (it was like I was 4 months pregnant). I was extremely lucky – it was Stage 1 and Dr. Blank was able to get all the cancer – it was even more amazing that it did not mestatasize on any of my organs. I did not need any chemo or radiation! WOW!
I have kept myself in really good shape and also teach spin classes. I feel that being in good shape really helped. I also want to mention that I had been on Hormone Replacement and watched it carefully – Estradiol and Prometrium – I stopped the day I saw my gyn and discovered the blockage.
I really believe that the sonogram saved me and my platform is to make sure that I try to get this word out to as many women as possible. I truly feel that a sonogram should be a part of the annual check-up for all women.
It took my body well over a year to get back to "my normal." Even though I did not have any Chemo or Radiation, my hair did thin out. I was back teaching classes in 5 weeks (off the bike for a week). It has been over 2 1/2 years since my operation and I'm doing great. My CA125 is normal. My hair came back as well.
My wish is that all women would be able to get it before it goes too far. I am very hopeful that I will continue to stay very healthy and I am here for those who need encouragement.

What better way to spend your days off than learning to dive??! That is what Elodie did when she was given a few days leave from her project work here in North Sulawesi!
Elodie took to diving like a professional and breezed through the classroom sessions, confined skills and also all the open water dives. She was lucky enough to see some of the rare Lembeh Critters on her dives including the Flamboyant Cuttlefish, Pegasus Sea Moth and a Blue-Ringed Octopus. One of the coolest things we saw on the course was snake ell enjoying his lunch of Lizardfish! It was an amazing sight to see as he came about a metre out of his hole to capture his prey!
It was an absolute pleasure (and we had lots of laughs!) to teach Elodie and we hope to see her back on Lembeh soon!
Lembeh Straits is a Mecca for underwater photographers as they love the current-free (well most of the time!) waters, sandy bottoms and the multitude of crazy critters we have living here!
So what better place to take your PADI Digital Underwater Photography Specialty?! That is what both Dan from the US and James from the UK did recently.
They both spent time with Gizmo (our resident photography instructor and resort manager) learning firstly about caring and looking after their underwater cameras. They went on to learn about understanding the camera and how to maximize the functions to get the best possible photos underwater.
One of the most important elements of a good photo is good composition and lighting and Gizmo gave them both plenty of tips on taking the best photo possible.
Even the world's best photographers use a photo-editing programme and during their course both Dan and James gained some skills in 'post production'!
Check out a mixture of their photos in the album. A couple of my favourites are the Feather Star on Whip Coral and Lionfish/Bannerfish Ménage (see above)!
Thanks to James and Dan for allowing us to publish their photos and 'Great Job' to both of them!
If you would like to take this course on your trip to Two Fish Divers Lembeh, then please drop us an email on firstname.lastname@example.com .
Late last week we received a call from Marion saying that her and her friends were interested in completing their Open Water Course with us. They had read about diving in Sulawesi and were initially interested in completing the course in Bunaken but when they were told that could complete it as well here in Lembeh, they decided to come over to the 'Dark Side' to become certified divers!
We started the Open Water Course as a group of five but Remi wasn't feeling too well and so decided to complete the academics and confined (skills!) part of the course – he did a great job and should go on to complete his open water dives. Marion, Pauline, Sebastien and Pierre continued on with the courses and completed it without a hitch – we didn't have to repeat a single skill and they all passed the exam with flying colours! It was great watching them swim along behind me looking like professionals from the start!
Sylvain was completing his Advanced Open Water course at the same time and hearing how much he enjoyed the night dive – Sebastien and Pierre also decided to complete their Adventure Night and Deep Dives and so have already completed two fifths of their advanced course!
On their final day of diving we went out and did their first muck dive and judging by the looks on their faces when they saw Flamboyant Cuttlefish, Ornate Ghost Pipefish, Seahorses, Cuttlefish and many cool crabs they enjoyed it as much as they did the course.
Team France – it was a pleasure teaching you all and having you stay with here in Two Fish Lembeh. We would love to have you back!! Well done again and Keep Diving!!!
Two Divers Lembeh would like to congratulate Cyril Capello on being the first person to complete their PADI Open Water Course here in the Lembeh Straits with Two Fish!
Helen (our resident Instructor) and Cyril had lots of fun practicing the confined skills out on the house reef , where Cyril also spent some time to master his buoyancy control whilst enjoying meeting some of the residents who live out the front of Two Fish Divers!
After this we headed out on the boat to complete the Open Water Dives, were Cyril saw Pygmy Seahorses, flounders, moray eels and lots of cool crabs and shrimps!! We think that we have made another Scuba Addict in Cyril judging by the smile on his face after every dive!! Last thing to do was to pass the exam which he did with 98%!!
Cyril wanted to make the most of his trip to Lembeh so decided on also completing his Advanced Open Water course as well during his stay. During this course he tried his hand at underwater photography, night diving and continued to work in mastering his buoyancy on the Peak Performance Buoyancy dive.
Again we would like to say WELL DONE to Cyril, it was great having you stay and watching you develop into a happy, confident diver!
If you are planning to come to Lembeh and are interested in taking a dive course whilst you are here then please do not hesitate to contact Helen (email@example.com) for more information or with any questions you may have.
Luke and Meagan are currently completing their Divemaster Internship with Two Fish Divers and they came over to Lembeh to complete some of their PADI specialties with us and also sneak in a few fun dives as well.
They both completed their Night Diver specialty , over 3 dives, which was great fun and we saw lots of the cool critters that come out night, in particular lots of crazy decorator crabs and mating Nudibranchs!
Luke decided to complete the Search and Recovery spe cialty which is not only good fun but extremely interesting and you get to learn some pretty different skills to what you would on other dive courses. We have trying out different search patterns and using lift bags to recover the objects that we have found! Luke is now a master of his digital compass!!
Meagan really enjoys underwater photography and so decided to complete her Digital Underwater Photography specialty, where she is learning to good composition, all about the different functions on her camera and also some nifty bits of advice on techniques to use underwater and also on land in the editing suite!! Have a look at her awesome photos!
Towards the end of their stay Luke got an ear infection but he insisted that Meagan continue to do her Wreck Diver Specialty with Gizmo. She learn about safe wreck diving techniques, penetration methods and also had to make a map of part of the Mawali Wreck – with is just five minutes from our resort!
We have really enjoyed having them stay with us and getting to teach them some new skills and hope that they have enjoyed as much as us!

Argelander, Friedrich Wilhelm August (1799–1875)
Argelander was born at Memel and studied at Königsberg, being drawn to astronomy by the lectures of Friedrich Bessel. In 1820 he was appointed assistant to Bessel in the Königsberg Observatory, and in 1823 chief of the observatory of Abo, Finland. In 1839 he moved finally to the university of Berlin.

The following example describes how to use PHP to run MATLAB commands.With there being so many different possible system configurations,it is likely that you may have to modify these steps slightly for your own use. I am using:
In this example, we will create a MATLAB function that generates a text file of random numbers. The location of this file is user defined from an HTML form. We use PHP to link the two together.
Edit: I'm getting a few messages about this solution. Please note that it was written in 2010 and a lot has changed in the last 4 years. I do plan to come back and update this article eventually, time permitting. But the solution may not work on latest software and your mileage may vary.
First,we need create a very basic MATLAB function that creates a plaintext file. The only input is a filename. Obviously, you'd want some slightly more robust checks normally. Using any plain text editor,copy and paste the following code and save as phpcreatefile.m (make a note of the file path as you'll need it later):
function phpcreatefile(filepath) % Open the file fid = fopen(filepath, 'wt'); for i = 1:100 % Create random number randNumber = [num2str(rand(1)) '\n']; % Write number to file fprintf(fid, randNumber); end % Close file fclose(fid); % Quit MATLAB quit force
Notice the last line of this file. The 'Quit' command is necessary to terminate MATLAB when we're finished.
Next,we need to create a file that renders an HTML form that, when submitted, opens MATLAB and calls the function phpcreatefile with a filename taken from the form. copy and paste the following code into a php file:
  <form action="" method="post"> Enter a filename <input type="text" name="filepath">
 <input type="submit" />
 </form>   <?php if(isset($_POST['filepath'])) { $filename = $_POST['filepath']; $inputDir = "C:\\output"; $outputDir = "C:\\output"; $command = "matlab -sd ".$inputDir." -r phpcreatefile('".$outputDir."\\".$filename."')"; exec($command); echo "The following command was run: ".$command."
"; echo $filename." was created in ".$outputDir."
"; } ?>
Theabove code first creates an extremely basic HTML form that asks the user for a filename. When submitted, the form submits to self,making the filename available as a $_POST variable. Next, a block of PHP code checks to see if the form is submitted. If it is, we startto try and build the appropriate command to send to MATLAB.
Thatsit. You just ran MATLAB using PHP
Found this useful? Do you have comments or possible improvements to this example? Please leave your comments at the bottom.
One thing that is immediately apparent is that at no time can MATLAB be seen running while the above code executes. This is because PHP runs as a module of an Apache service. Vista (and maybe other systems too) has a security layer that deals with how services interact with the desktop. The problem is better described here.

Has anyone ever thought to use graphite powder to lube their guns? Does anyone ever use graphite powder to lubricate their firearms on a regular basis? The reason I am asking is because where I live my guns tend to get gritty when using them to hunt. Worried about the abrasiveness.

Bonus MP3! I'm sick of the Portland weather this week and am a little bummed that I can't be in Miami for the Winter Music Conference, which is the biggest electronic music event in the United States (yes, I'd put it up against Detroit). Alas, I can't be there, but I can download tracks from some of the artists there. Since this is Friday and I usually post electronic music anyway, I figured this would be a good time to post a bonus track. Happy house Friday!

It's not that a secret that I'm a big fan of Ninject, so I'm pretty excited to see that the experimental version that Nate was playing with has been "upgraded" to the next official release of Ninject, v2. It's completely written from scratch, and it takes full advantage of LINQ.
You can read more about what's new, what has been removed, and what has been added on the official announcement on Nate's blog.
It seems like it also have an even easier way to integrate with ASP.NET MVC.
I'll not have a lot of time to play around with it as my next week is going to be very busy, but I hope to find some time when I come back from Seattle.
I am also a big admirer of Ninject because it assists in making use of the method of dependence injection to smash your applications into loosely-coupled, highly-cohesive gears. After that it also attaches them back collectively in a flexible way. thanks...

Mayo Clinic in Florida was established in 1986 as a comprehensive medical facility in the southeastern U.S. where advanced programs in education and research support the highest quality patient care. The Florida campus facilities provide an exceptional learning environment for students and trainees.
The campus's modern educational facilities include classrooms, lecture halls, and an extensive library and computer lab. Additionally, the 9,600-square-foot J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver Simulation Center allows medical teams and trainees from multiple disciplines to practice everything from basic skills to the most complicated scenarios with stunning realism.
Patient care activity in Florida is centered on these interconnected buildings. The eight-story Davis Building is the clinic's largest facility.
The Birdsall Research Building is an advanced facility that houses 12 laboratories where researchers investigate neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Completed in 2002, the Griffin Building is the first building on the Jacksonville campus devoted primarily to cancer research.
Mayo Clinic achieved the vision of establishing an integrated campus on April 12, 2008, when Mayo Clinic Hospital opened on campus. Mayo Clinic Hospital provides essential clinical care experiences for students and trainees in Florida. The 214-bed facility has 22 operating rooms, transplant and epilepsy units, and advanced cardiac and neurosurgery facilities.
This on-campus library offers 24-hour access to Mayo employees and trainees with an ID badge, has an iPad loan program and provides educational opportunities to increase knowledge of best practices in research development. The library moved to its new location in the Stabile Building in late 2012. The library is about 2,300 square feet and features some amazing views of Jacksonville, Fla.

GULFPORT, Mississippi -- The Gulfport-Biloxi Regional Airport Authority has been awarded a $4.7 million Airport Improvement Program grant from the Federal Aviation Administration, airport officials announced Wednesday.
The grant includes funding for airfield drainage enhancements, airport perimeter fence rehabilitation, taxiway widening and terminal improvements at the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport.
"These funds will aid in enhancing safety and security on the airfield," said airport Executive Director Clay Williams.
FAA Airport Improvement Program funds are generated from user fees and fuel taxes.
"The funding helps the airport to maintain the integrity of its infrastructure and we appreciate the assistance provided by the FAA and the Mississippi Congressional delegation," said Airport Authority Chairman Richard Matheny.
FAA Airport Improvement Program funding is designated for capital improvement initiatives in the areas of safety, capacity and noise compatibility
The airport was originally constructed in 1942 as a flight training center during World War II. It was turned over for use as a civil airport in 1949 and is now served by six commercial airlines. Some 700,000 to 900,000 passengers use the airport each year.

To describe the time of detection, electrophysiologic mechanism, and severity of hemodynamic sequelae of arrhythmias in infants and children prenatally exposed to cocaine and to determine whether the incidence of severe neonatal arrhythmia is related to prenatal exposure to cocaine.
Characteristics of arrhythmias are described for all significant arrhythmias detected at Boston (Mass) City Hospital in infants and children with known cocaine exposure, as well as a convenience sample of children from Children's Hospital, Boston. A historical cohort was used to calculate the rates of cardiac consultation for arrhythmia among children prenatally exposed to cocaine and among children with no known cocaine exposure.
Study Population:
Characterization of the arrhythmias is based on case studies of 18 children. The rate of arrhythmia consultation was calculated from 554 infants who had urine toxic screens for cocaine and from 13 arrhythmias detected between 1988 and 1991.
Outcome Measures:
Prenatal cocaine exposure; the time of detection, electrophysiologic mechanism, and severity of hemodynamic sequelae of arrhythmias; and the incidence of cardiology consultation for arrhythmia in infants and children prenatally exposed to cocaine.
Fetal arrhythmia persisted into the neonatal period in three cocaine-exposed infants; two were delivered via emergency cesarean sections for presumed fetal bradycardia and were subsequently found to have asymptomatic frequent and blocked atrial premature beats. Including these three infants, arrhythmia was observed in 13 cocaine-exposed neonates; 12 had a variety of supraventricular arrhythmias and four had low-grade ventricular ectopy. Arrhythmia resulted in congestive heart failure in five (38%) of 13 neonates. Six occurrences of arrhythmia were observed beyond the neonatal period among five cocaine-exposed infants. Late arrhythmias included high-grade ventricular arrhythmias and resulted in two cardiorespiratory arrests. In addition, neonates with known exposure to cocaine were more likely to have a consultation for arrhythmia than neonates without known exposure.
Sustained arrhythmias may result from an increased number of potential initiating premature beats in children prenatally exposed to cocaine. These effects persist beyond the period of exposure and are associated in some children with congestive heart failure, cardiorespiratory arrest, and death. Prenatal cocaine exposure increases the incidence of consultation for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.(Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1994;148:1163-1169)

Reader Submitted: Show Us Your Last Pregnancy PhotoDevan McGuinness
I have said before that I love the feeling of being pregnant. I love the round belly, the baby kicks and generally I feel awesome. With my baby fever being in full force and with Babe E's 3rd birthday rounding near I was looking at pictures from when I was pregnant with her.
I miss it! I felt huge and I looked huge and it's so weird to look back at these photos and see how much growth my body did. Weird but so amazing!
There has been some chatter recently that questioned what a woman who is about to have a baby looks like. Just as there is no one way a woman should look when she's in labor – there is no universal look of what an "about to have a baby soon" woman looks like.
Every woman – even every pregnancy – carries different. It's not always an indication of how far along we are or how big our baby is when born. It's all unique, individual but beautiful.

The Celtic Manor Twenty Ten Golf Course showed it's razor-edged teeth in the opening round of the 38th Ryder Cup, taking a massive bite out of both the Americans and Europeans' confidence as buckets of rain doused golfers and fans alike.
What was a 10 year project to design the ultimate, challenging golf course for the Ryder Cup took only a few short holes to put even the longest, most precise and gifted golfers worldwide in a drenched, dripping distress.
But after a seven hour and 18-minute delay, play resumed for another two hours allowing three of the four groups to finish the front-nine holes. Prior to the delay, the Americans looked simply ghastly, playing as though they had no interest in breaking the European streak of winning on foreign soil since 1993.
But once the rain calmed, so too did the Americans find their rhythm.
The foursome matches currently favor the Americans. Stewart Cink and Matt Kuchar were 2 up on Rory McIlroy and U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell through 11 holes; Bubba Watson and Jeff Overton were 1 up on Luke Donald and Padraig Harrington through eight; and Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker were all square with Ian Poulter and Ross Fisher.
At 7pm in Newport, Wales, nightfall stopped play and both teams retreated to their respective dry clothes.
