Best Of :: Food & Drink
"Inspired by the nostalgia of the finest Argentine cuisine," goes the tag line for one of downtown Miami's newest hot spots, PM Fish & Steak House. No trumpets heralded the arrival of this modern steak-and-seafood house, but word of mouth and social networking led to enormous popularity from day one. The PM stands for Puerto Madero, the name of a port district of Buenos Aires, and for PM Restaurants, a group with a modest portfolio of venues from Mexico to Miami. The food might be inspired by nostalgia, but the décor is a decidedly contemporary mix of brick, dark hardwood floors, and urban industrial accents. Yet what makes PM special isn't just the pretty room and boisterous Brickell crowd; it's the consistently well-prepared cuisine — Argentine and otherwise. Starters ($4 to $12) include seared chorizo sausage; grilled provoleta cheese; crisp turnovers stuffed with spiced meat, fresh tuna, or black cod; and a shrimp/octopus stew with potatoes and olives that is so divine it will make you literally cry for Argentina. The prime steaks come in American cuts — tenderloin, New York strip, rib eye — but are assertively seasoned and grilled with the requisite gaucho spirit. There are no hash browns or French fries, but rather the PM specialty of souffléed potatoes — those classic French-style, crisp, air-filled spud pillows that are rare in these parts. We haven't mentioned the array of raw bar items (including oysters on the half-shell and a live, giant chocolata clam!), the carpaccio (including "veal carpaccio alla Parmesan"), the tartare (tuna, salmon, striped bass), the sashimi and whole grilled fish du jour (entrées run $15 to $38), or the extensive wine list and cocktails. There's a lot going on at PM, and all of it is going really well.
Nothing is more exciting than seeing the clock strike 5 p.m. when you're at work. You and your fellow employees dash to the front door of the office, elbow anyone who gets in your way, and head out in search of libation. We suggest Sandbar Sports Grill. Not only do the weekday happy hours offer half-priced drinks and appetizers from 4 to 7 p.m., but you can also catch almost any game on one of 26 TV sets. Sure, you might run into some UM frat bros on Thursday college nights, but the $3 bottled beer specials are worth it. The home of the fish taco also offers specials on the weekends. Grab a few $3.75 bloody marys on Saturdays and Sundays, or bring your paycheck stub in on Sundays to get 50 percent off your tab.
Though the Wynwood Arts District has evolved greatly in the past few years, its main strip has always been devoid of one key feature of any worthwhile neighborhood: a decent, no-nonsense, old-fashioned bar. Not to disrespect the venues serving drinks in the artsy area, but sometimes you just want to walk into a place with a 20-dollar bill in your pocket and leave with a few drinks in your gut. Thankfully, there's Wood Tavern. And tavern indeed is the perfect descriptor for this place, with wooden, brick, and plaid walls. There's also a buffalo head, a leprechaun statuette, and a profusion of comfy, vintage couches. Although it only opened this past December, the place has an air of familiarity. Of course, the sanely priced drinks including a pleasing selection of craft beers and signature cocktails, made us want to stick around. Forget familiarity, Wood is basically now our new best friend in Wynwood.
When you're looking for the velvet-rope experience without the South Beach parking hassle, Justin's Bar & Lounge has you covered. Promoted on Power 96 and El Zol 95, the club celebrates house, salsa, merengue, bachata, Top 40, hip-hop, and sports. The place offers ice-cold mojitos, a burning-hot dance floor, and VIP tables for very special bottle service (with $150 Grey Goose and Johnny Walker Black bottles). On weeknights, you can shoot a game of stick at the pool table, enjoy two-for-one drinks from 7 to 10 p.m., and get in with no cover charge. On Fridays and Saturdays, ladies enter free till midnight, dudes get in for $10 to $20, and the joint is packed with sexy Latinas, exotic Russian beauties, hombres, and Israeli playboys. Whether it's DJ Dudu, Berdugo, Empire, or E-Feezy on the decks, the music bangs, the people dance, and the liquor flows. Now that's what we call boozin'.
From the moment you buy your first brew, you half expect the other beer guzzlers to start chanting, "Chug, chug, chug, chug!" Owned by former Miami Hurricanes quarterback Craig Erickson, Hole in the Wall is a no-frills joint reminiscent of a college fraternity house's rec room. The décor consists of wood stools, benches, flat-screen TV sets, and a Galaga arcade game. There are also a couple of tables outside the entrance. Hole in the Wall is the spot to drink beer — and not any of those fancy microbrews either. Here, it's a steady stream of PBR, Budweiser, Miller Lite, and Yuengling. But connoisseurs can still get Guinness or Grolsch. The prices are hard to beat. Domestics run from $1.50 to $4 a glass, while imports go for $3.50 to $6. And you're gonna need a lot of cold lagers or ales to wash down the scrumptious chicken wings doused in Frank's RedHot sauce. A ten-wing platter costs $9. Or pig out on a 50-wing platter for $45 while watching the game with your friends. Hole in the Wall is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
It was after midnight on a recent Saturday when we found ourselves playing some eight ball and knocking back shots of Jägermeister as White Snake's "Here I Go Again" bumped through the loudspeakers. Cigarette smoke wafted through the Billiard Club, a strip-mall bar and sports lounge that has been happily serving the hard-working, hard-drinking middle-class residents of Miami Lakes, west Hialeah, and Hialeah Gardens for the past 13 years. The vibe is so chill you won't be surprised when you strike up a friendly conversation with owner Peter Tesser and he rewards you and your party with a round of drinks. He's the type of guy who wants all of his customers to feel like they are visiting a relative's house to watch the big game or fight. Flat-screens hanging at the main bar and over the pool tables show pay-per-view sporting events every weekend with little or no cover charge. Drinks are moderately priced. A glass or bottle of beer won't cost you more than $6, and a stiff drink will set you back no more than $10. A full-service kitchen cooks up popular bar food items plus burgers, chicken wings, and a New York strip steak that'll melt in your mouth. The Billiard Club opens at 4 p.m. daily. Last call is at 3 a.m. on weekdays and 4 a.m. on weekends.

New directions in immuno-oncology in biomarkers and combinations
Today I thought it would be a good idea to answer a question sent in by a premium subscriber. He asked,
"What's the deal with TIL and how does that relate to checkpoint inhibitors and PD-L1 expression?"
This is a good question and there were some interesting top-line debates about this at AACR recently, which are well worth discussing and highlighting.

Adamstown all set for national cross-country
ALL ROADS lead to Adamstown this weekend with the national Novice and uneven age Juvenile cross-country championships taking place in the village, hosted by the local athletic club in co-operation with Athletics Wexford. The event will take place on the lands of Gavin and Stuart Rothwell, with registration in Berry Sports Medicine.
In the Juvenile section the Model county will be represented by the Under-11 county champion, Adamstown A.C's Luke Byrne, in the boys' 1,500m, and by Michael Carroll from D.M.P. A.C. in the boys' Under-13 2,500m.
Both Luke and Michael earned their places on the Leinster team at the provincial championships held in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, last month. Luke's race will be the second of the day, with the championship starting at 11.30 a.m. Michael will race at approximately midday.
County Junior and Under-18 champion, Stephen Gorman, also from Adamstown A.C., will compete for his club on home ground in the boys' Under-19 6,000m, which is the last Juvenile race of the day.
The Novice ladies' team are probably Wexford's best chance of a medal. The majority of the team that ran so well recently, finishing in fourth position in the national inter-counties in Tattersalls, Co. Meath, will again line out in the Wexford colours.
Ciara Wilson from D.M.P. A.C. is having her best season ever and capped this with a fine bronze medal at the Under-23 All-Ireland crosscountry in Tattersalls last month. She also helped D.C.U. to gold in the inter-varsity relays the previous week. She will be hoping to add to her medal tally on Sunday.
Fiona Kehoe finished sixth in this event last year and will be hoping to improve on that on home ground. Fiona is one of the country's top 800m runners, having previously won national Senior medals at that distance on the track.
Catherine Murphy is relatively new to the sport and won the Leinster Masters cross-country in Rathdrum earlier this season. She has been running very well over the past year.
Elaine Cardiff is the current county Intermediate champion and has shown a good return to form this year. Lillian Lawless is the current county Novice champion and has made a comeback to the sport in the last year. Catherine Walsh originally was a race walker, but is now turning in some fine performances in cross-country.
While the final line-up for the county men's team is not fully confirmed yet, definite competitors in the Novice race are David Barron, Ger Maloney and Jason O'Connor. All three have been consistent performers in the Wexford colours for several seasons now. Wexford native Andrew Connick, if running, will be a contender for overall honours in the men's race among an expected field of over 400 runners.
We are sure to witness some excellent races in the national championships, and anyone travelling to Adamstown is advised to arrive early, as certain traffic restrictions and one-way systems will apply in the area. Pat O'Leary from Bree A.C. is the official starter for the event and will ensure that the first race starts at 11.30 a.m. sharp and that the schedule is strictly adhered to.
On site catering is available with all proceeds going to local Juvenile athlete development, with the entire community in Adamstown joining in to make sure the championships run smoothly.
More information is available from the county website on www.wexfordathletics.com and on the Athletics Association of Ireland website - www.athleticsireland.ie.

Harp Therapy
The International Harp Therapy Program offers a complete At-Home Study Program with On-Line lectures. We welcome players of all levels to join the program and will work with you in a comprehensive music development program. IHTP is accredited by the National Standards Board for Therapeutic Musicians. We meet and excel in all the Standards set forth by this organization.
New to the Harp? – you can now begin the home-study program with study of the 10 required DVDs and readings.
By applying to the program now, you can engage your personal mentor to help prepare you for our upcoming trainings. See SCHEDULE. If you are a beginner harp player you can engage a trained teacher who will guide you through SKYPE on-line lessons.
Get Started – IHTP Online Preparation School
There are two tracks that students can join: Track 1 For harp players and beginners who understand basic theory and can read music
Track 2 For beginners who do not read music or need more help with theory
The Effectiveness of Harp Therapy
The power of individualizing music for patients through identifying resonant tone, mood, tempo and preferred genre of music can now be seen in the Heartmath heartrate variability program .
When the Harp Practitioner successfully matches the listener, the recipient enters the 'Green Zone'. When distraction occurs, or the practitioner misses the cues, the listener enters into the 'Red Zone'.
To find out more on how to relieve stress or to order your own Heartmath personal stress reliever, see:
People of all ages and circumstances benefit from the Therapeutic Harp
Children in hospital settings and with other special needs…
such as developmental disabilities, respond well to the harp. Evidence of a range of healthy outcomes have been recorded. They include appropriate excitement, joy, empowerment, as well as relaxation.
In the Corporate structure,
harps have been utilized as part of a stress management program. The results are a "time out" refreshment and centering for employees. Increased concentration and motivation have been reported.
During childbirth,
harp music helps to create an atmosphere of love and safety, with the possibility of supporting the rhythm of the mother's breathing durding appropriate times.
Interactive work,
touching and even learning to play the harp, increases the recipient's physical co-ordination and concentration. The benefit of a shared activity can also be important.
For people in Intensive Care Units…
and in Operating Rooms, monitors show that the heart rate decreases and the Oxygenation levels increase when soothing harp music is played. Harp music provides sound or focus other than the humming and beeping of hospital machines. We not only work with Resonant tone but with Double Resonance.
In Hospices,
transitional stages are often an area where harp music can be very supportive. The sounds of the harp comfort and soothe the patient who may be in pain or experiencing fear. The families of these loved ones also benefit from the support of therapeutic harp.
People who suffer from Alzheimer's Disease…
often access memory through songs from their past.

A Seal Of A Different Shade Is Shunned
Take a look at that face. How could you not love that face? And yet, this little seal pup was left all by his lonesome, abandoned and blind on a deserted beach in Tyuleniy Island, Russia. He was spotted by photographer Anatoly Strakhov, who noted that his blindness would mean that he'd likely be unable to survive in the wild. Thankfully, the animal was taken in by a local marine life group. Was he shunned because of his rare auburn fur? Sigh. Poor gingers don't get any respect. [Daily Mail UK]

Claims Financial are no longer accepting new PPI claims. Please note that the information provided on this website is no longer up to date.
It has recently been in the news that some banks have paid less mis-sold PPI compensation to claimants than they should have.
An investigation has suggested that in some cases, penalty fees and charges that borrowers may have had to pay due to mis-sold PPI
were not included when calculating how much compensation they should receive. Rest assured that if you have made a PPI claim with
us and the bank contacts us because you are entitled to additional compensation, we will be in touch.
If you have a loan, credit card or mortgage with any bank, mortgage company or credit card provider then you should know that you could be owed thousands. What's more, millions of people are eligible to claim and may not even know it.
It is not the loans themselves that are the problem but the PPI (payment protection insurance, income protection, loan insurance) that was sold alongside it.
PPI is insurance that is designed to help you continue paying your monthly payments on credit cards, store cards, catalogue payments, mortgages or your car loan in the event of a sudden and unexpected loss of income. This is usually as a result of events such as sickness, an accident or redundancy.
However, PPI is useless for the majority of consumers who have been sold it and millions of people are paying, or have paid, thousands of pounds in premiums on an insurance that will never pay out should they need it.
If you have PPI on any of your loans or mortgages then there is a good chance that PPI was mis-sold to you, meaning you may have a claim worth thousands of pounds.
We specialise in these claims and have been featured in The Daily Telegraph. Claiming won't affect your credit rating and our services are FREE if we do not win*.
Winning successful claims since 2007, we are specialists in reclaiming PPI and this is all we do. We know how to win your claim!
Unfortunately Claims Financial is no longer taking on PPI claims. If you would like further information about how you may be able to claim, please click here.
Use our Calculator and Take the Test tools to see if you have a claim and how much it could be worth. We'll even email you the results!
Claims Financial have been made aware that some marketing communications have been issued under the name of Claims Empire. These communications ask customers to pay upfront fees and go on to suggest they are connected to Claims Financial in some way. Claims Financial would like to make it clear that we do not request upfront fees from customers and cannot accept any liability for the actions of Claims Empire. Claims Financial would like to make it clear to all customers that Claims Empire is not in any way connected to Claims Financial. Should you have any complaints regarding Claims Empire's communications, please contact them directly and where necessary report any scam emails to www.actionfraud.police.uk, the police and claims regulator the Ministry of Justice.
I would like to thank you sincerely for all the work you have done in all my claims. Your hard work is very much appreciated, and I shall not hesitate in recommending your services to all of my family and friends.
I just had to put pen to paper and write to say I'm more than delighted with my settlement that you won me back from my PPI I had with Lloyds TSB. The Claim Forms were simple to fill in. It was a breeze.

Efficiency overhaul of States services
EVERYTHING from applying for a new passport and paying States bills to getting married and letting States departments know you have tied the knot should soon be quicker and easier.
EVERYTHING from applying for a new passport and paying States bills to getting married and letting States departments know you have tied the knot should soon be quicker and easier.
In the next six months, the States is to start root-and-branch reform of the way it delivers services to Islanders as part of a huge programme of change.
Not only is the reform, which follows a States-wide review of how things are done, being driven to save money, it is also aiming to use technology - including emails, the internet, Apps and text messaging - to bring the way it interacts with the population up to date.
The vision for a less bureaucratic and more efficient public sector was outlined by States chief executive John Richardson, the Island's most senior civil servant, when he addressed the Chamber of Commerce yesterday at its monthly lunch.Subscribe to our Newsletter
Comments for: "Efficiency overhaul of States services"
less is more
Does that cost the tax payer more then for thease services, also I thought the UK was going to supply our passports?
wow Jersey civil servants have now been dragged kicking and screaming into the real world. I have just keeled over with shock of it.
Just so.
The Jersey civil dervice has been undergoing root and branch reform for the past ten years. So why is this reform needed?
Because all we ever get is impressive haedline and little else changes.
They've been trying this for years - e.g. Comprehensive Spending Review. Optimistic that now with the new CEO and current Chief Minister they will deliver.
To be fair there are many in the States trying to achieve this, but then some annoying old guards like blocking, obstructing etc.
To little, to late, to expensive !
What ever happened to the customer service centre at Cyril Le Marquand house?
I seem to remember a previous chief executive proudly announcing it's opening as a sign of a more efficient public service.
Is it still open?
This story gives the impression not?
Otto Britain
Did you ever use it? Total shambles! Couldn't answer any questions! They sent me an electrician when I needed a plumber! God only knows how much that cost. No doubt they are going to try to make it easier to start up a business next... that's a new one! As for using I.T. to save money, perhaps they should upgrade their prehistoric I.T. systems before trying that before their licences expire! LOL.
efficiency is all
When Bill Ogley was appointed, the self same John Richardson was given the specific job of improving Public Sector efficiency. Pleased to see he's now getting around to it.
Pip Clement
Goody, another drive for efficiency in the States.
We have been having these for at least a decade now and nothing changes.
State's members and executives come and go and the mess remains the same! :-(
Does this mean they will be able to cut the ridiculous number of States employees?
Nearing 7,000 at the last count, to put that in perspective that's one States worker for every 14 people, yet you still have to queue up at every States department you go to!
Efficiency Drive! What it really means is that they will become more efficient at extracting our money from us.
Check this out for efficiency lol
Yes that's right, 30 more jobs created in the last two years whilst undergoing a £65 million pound savings / effiency drive!!!!!

Intel close to clearing Austin 'eyesore'
Offloads unfinished chip design centre
Intel has at last sold off what remains of its unfinished Austin, Texas chip design centre, three years after abandoning work on the project.
According to an Austin Statesman report (registration required), local real estate company Endeavor has been talking to Intel and is close to completing a purchase.
Intel began work on the facility, in downtown Austin on Fifth and San Antonio, in the late 1990s. The site was to house workers currently operating out of leased offices elsewhere in the city.
However, the chip giant halted work on the $124m project in March 2001. It blamed the dotcom bust and the subsequent collapse of the hi-tech market. The unfinished work left nothing but rubble and the skeleton of a building on the site, dubbed by locals an "eyesore".
You can see a shot of how work was left here, courtesy of the Austin Chronicle.
In April 2002, the chip giant said it would sell off the land. A large portion was acquired last year by the US General Services Administration, which plans to build a $75.9m federal courthouse on the site next year.
If the latest sale goes ahead, Endeavor plans to eventually develop the site for mixed residential, retail or business use, the report states. The area under negotiation was originally to have housed a car park for workers at the design center. ®

I had similar issues figuring my own hair properties. I think sometimes those of us with very thick hair have a hard time thinking of our hair as fine in texture. It didn't help that as a brunette, of course I could still see individual strands. I think porosity is just as challenging. I've heard the float test is unreliable, and the challenge with running your fingers up a stand of hair is recognizing the difference between a piece of hair that has bumps due to higher porosity vs bumps that could just be due to dryness, or just a strand that has some kinkiness to it's texture (even with fine hair, you'll still find individual strands that can be extremely different from most of the rest of your hair).
When I first started CG I believed my hair was medium-coarse, high porosity. Then I ended up over conditioned in less than a month. So I started adding protein and saw that my hair liked it, so I added more. Despite strong protein treatments and protein heavy conditioners, my hair never showed signs of being over proteined. I finally sent away for the hair analysis and found out that my "medium-coarse" hair was actually fine and my hair wasn't nearly as damaged as I thought- normal porosity and elasticity.

October 28, 2012SOCCER BUSINESSNBC Sports to air Premier League
By Charles CuttoneExecutive Editor
NBC Sports Group, has acquired the exclusive U.S. media rights to the Premier League through a multi-year agreement that begins with the 2013-14 season. NBC won the rights from incumbents Fox Soccer Channel and ESPN. The deal is reportedly for three years and $250 million.
Under the new agreement NBCUniversal becomes the exclusive English- and Spanish-language media rights holder to all 380 Premier League matches across all platforms and devices in the United States. Fox had been airing EPL games since 1998. ESPN was carrying up 80 games as part of a sub license deal.
The loss of the EPL leaves Fox Soccer Channel with no league programming agreements. It lost the MLS rights to NBC, and has also los Serie A and Ligue One rights to BeIn Sport.
NBC has been aggressive in promoting its MLS coverage, leading to ratings gains over the numbers the league was getting on FSC. The network also owns broadcast rights to the National Hockey League.
The Barclays Premier League is the preeminent soccer league in the world, and is on the cusp of exponential popularity growth here in the U.S., said Mark Lazarus, Chairman, NBC Sports Group. NBCU will provide the broadest programming and promotional commitment that the league has ever experienced here in the United States. The Premier League provides NBCU with best-in-class content for 10 months of the year across our far-reaching broadcast, cable and digital platforms. This is a perfect match.
Although specific programming details will be announced at a later date, NBC, NBC Sports Network, and NBCSports.com will all be utilized to present live Premier League coverage, as well as Telemundo and mun2 for Spanish-language coverage. Additional NBCUniversal platforms and networks will occasionally be scheduled to air Premier League matches, while NBC Sports Live Extra will provide the live streaming platform across web, tablet and mobile devices.
The NBC Sports Group has an excellent track record in sports broadcasting and will showcase the Barclays Premier League to fans across the USA through its extensive network of channels and high quality production, said Premier League Chief Executive, Richard Scudamore. We are extremely pleased that NBC has chosen to invest in the Premier League and look forward to working with them for many years to come.
The NBC Sports Group will also produce other programming around its live-event coverage of the Premier League, including pre- and post-match shows, as well as highlight and weekly wrap-up programs. It is also developing a package to make sure the most avid fans have access to every Premier League match.
NBC Sports began televising soccer this year as part of a three year agreement with Major League Soccer that also included U.S. Men's and Women's National Team games.

There's been a certain buzz around the Pointe Coupee Central campus in LaBarre this week. There will even be a pep rally Friday morning to commemorate the football team's game later that evening.
It's not every day PCC plays in a state playoff game much less host one. In fact, for the first time in the 23-year existence of the school, that's the exact position the No. 8 Cougars (7-2) find themselves in when they entertain No. 25 Montgomery (6-4) in a Class 1A first-round game at 7 p.m. today.
"The kids on campus are talking about us," PCC coach Lawrence Brown said. "The pep rally is going to be exciting. We're a small school, but we manage to try and have fun as best we can."
The PCC-Montgomery matchup represents one of 19 games Friday in Classes 3A-1A in the Baton Rouge area.
Top-seeded Parkview Baptist (8-0) is the area's lone No. 1 seed and hosts No. 32 Erath (5-5) in Class 3A competition, while No. 3 University (9-1) takes on No. 30 Jonesboro-Hodge (4-6) at Jeff Boss Field and No. 29 Northeast (4-5) travels to No. 4 Springfield (8-1) and No. 24 Booker T. Washington-Shreveport (5-5) visits No. 9 Episcopal (7-3) in Class 2A teams at home.
No. 9 Southern Lab (8-2) will be at Southern's Mumford Stadium against No. 24 Catholic-Pointe Coupee (6-4) and No. 22 Archbishop Hannan travels to No. 11 White Castle (8-2) in Class 1A home games of interest.
Brown, who has been at PCC for four years and three as head coach, guided the Cougars to a 6-5 record and trip to the playoffs a year ago, losing 26-0 at Block-Jonesville.
Since losing back-to-back games to open the year PCC has reeled off seven consecutive victories and captured the District 6-1A title.
Quarterback Kevin Bourgeois ranks 12th statewide in passing, having completed 105 of 229 passes for 2,203 yards and 22 TDs. David St. Cyr (42 receptions, 1,053 yards, 12 TDs) is his chief target.
"I want the community to come out and see the kids," Brown said. "If they get behind us with a little a push, there's no telling what we might do. That's a big deal to me."
Speaking of streaks U-High has rattled off seven straight victories since a 26-21 home loss to Loranger.
The Cubs are also back in the playoffs after making a quarterfinal run that ended with a 23-20 loss at Calvary Baptist of Shreveport.
Sophomore running back Nicholas Brossette (162 carries 1,295 yards, 30 TDs) is part of a diverse offense that generates 43 points.
"It's still a new team, a new group going through those experiences," U-High coach Chad Mahaffey said. "But I think from a program standpoint it's a bunch of kids that have been there and hopefully those things will pay off."
Brusly coach Erik Willis has been a part of a playoff rematch one other time in his career and enjoyed the results of both games.
He's optimistic of a similar occurrence when No. 16 Brusly (8-2) hosts No. 17 E.D. White (6-4) in a battle of District 7-3A foes. The Panthers, who are in search of the program's first playoff win since 2004, soundly defeated the Cardinals 43-7 in Thibodaux just more than a month ago.
"In all three phases of the game, it was one of our best games," Willis said. "Especially against the opponent we played. I would say it was our best performance."
With senior quarterback Jay Christophe leading the way — 1,203 passing yards and 19 TDs to go along with 1,036 rushing yards and 13 TDs — Brusly has won four of its past five games and secured the league's runners-up position behind St. Charles, which had to rally for an 18-14 win over E.D. White a week ago.
"We've talked about how E.D. White's definitely gotten better," Willis said. "If you can get in four good practices, then that's all you can do. That means the kids are focused and not thinking we've already beaten them last time. We're not practicing like we're complacent.
"We're practicing like we're hungry, so we feel pretty good."

West Australian iron ore explorer and takeover target
Brockman says the approval paves the way for the construction phase of the project to proceed subject to the completion of the current bankable feasibility study and a final investment decision due in the third quarter of 2011.
Marillana boasts a joint ore reserve committee-compliant 1.05 billion tonne hematite ore reserve, located 100 kilometres north-west of Newman in the East Pilbara region.
Brockman says the facility is being designed to produce between 17 to 20 million tonnes a year of iron ore with a final product grade up to 61.5 per cent over a minimum 25 year mine life. Brockman expects it to generate life of mine revenues of greater than $60 billion at current iron ore prices.
Brockman said the project will involve a capital investment of $1.9 billion including the proposed construction of an 80 kilometre spur line linking the project site with the Fortescue Pilbara rail network to Port Hedland. The two companies remain in talks over finalising an agreement.
Earlier in February, Brockman's efforts to fend off a hostile $800 million takeover approach from Hong Kong group Wah Nam International suffered a setback with the Takeovers Panel declining to take up complaints that the bidder had enlisted associates to bolster its stake in the iron ore hopeful.

Hollywood director James Cameron is planning to move onto a New Zealand farm.
Cameron has successfully applied to buy 1,067 hectares (2,636 acres) of farmland in New Zealand. In an application filed with the New Zealand Overseas Investment Office, Cameron says he and his family "intend to reside indefinitely in New Zealand and are acquiring the property to reside on and operate as a working farm."
Cameron, a Canadian, directed two of Hollywood's most successful films, "Titanic" and "Avatar." He could not be immediately contacted by The Associated Press Thursday, but it's believed he will move to New Zealand this year to film the sequel to "Avatar."

The 'Silver Linings Playbook' actress is featured on the cover of the magazine as she became one of the bridesmaids at her brother's wedding.
Jennifer Lawrence makes an appearance on the cover of Martha Stewart Weddings's Real Weddings special issue. The star of "American Hustle" was one of the 11 bridesmaids at her brother Blaine Lawrence's wedding to Carson Massler which took place on October 5.
On the magazine's cover, the Oscar-winning actress and other bridesmaids wore a peach dress by J Crew. Opting for the strapless version of the dress, Jennifer stood at the right side with a wide smile on her face. She also wore a simple necklace. The bride, meanwhile, stood in the center while wearing a lace dress by Monique Lhuillier.
Carson told the magazine that she chose the color to enhance the people's natural beauty. "We kept the day's colors as understated as possible because we wanted the natural beauty of the land to stand out," she explained.
Blaine and Carson, who are both natives of Louisville, Kentucky, exchanged vows at Hermitage Farm in Kentucky. The outdoor wedding was attended by 325 guests. "We wanted a place that represented Kentucky," the nurse said of the place.
In other news, Jennifer was mentioned in Drake's newly-released song "Draft Day". "On some Hunger Games s**t/ I would die for my District/ Jennifer Lawrence, you can really get it/ I mean, for real girl, you know I had to do it for ya," Drake raps in the song which samples Lauryn Hill's 1998 hit "Doo Wop (That Thing)".

Dejan Kovacevic chat transcript: April 4, 2013
Greetings, all, from PNC Park, where the sun has come out but only in the most deceptive manner. Still cold here for the rubber match of Pirates-Cubs, which has a first pitch of 12:35 p.m.
We'll whisk right through that ...
Comment From Naterosboro: Which James McDonald do we see today, Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde? This season?
Dejan Kovacevic: Can't even hazard a guess. Honestly, he looks like a different pitcher not just from start to start but inning to inning. That held true this spring, too. Covered one of his starts in Sarasota against the Orioles where he gave up three home runs but alternately looked just fine.
He is THE swing vote on this team, no question.
Comment From Tyler: Dejan, what are your Pens lines going forward (w/ and w/o Crosby) ... it sure seems like Iginla and Neal are both more comfortable on the RW.
Dejan Kovacevic: Since it might be more pertinent, I'll go with my preferred lines once Crosby returns: 12-87-9, 14-71-18, 10-16-24, 48-36-27. If you don't know the numbers, apologies in advance. There is much to be said for keeping Crosby with his usual guys but, to me, more to be said for having Iginla and Neal playing on the natural side for each.
Comment From Zack: Should there be concern that Malkin isn't stepping up so far? Or does he just need more time to get used to Iginla on his line?
Dejan Kovacevic: Malkin needs to wake up. Simple as that.
Comment From Aaron: Did the Pirates really make a lineup decision based on a spring performance (Gaby Sanchez starting the first two games despite the fact that he does not hit well against righties)? Starting him over Travis Snider would seem to have two strikes against the coach/front office: 1)They went against what they said all spring based on a small sample size. 2)They ignored historical statistics showing Gaby is better off playing against lefties.
Dejan Kovacevic: That might be thinking about it too deeply, Aaron. Clint Hurdle very much fancies the notion that Sanchez can be his steady hand at first base. He'd prefer to go that way. But of course, Sanchez has to produce. We'll see.
Comment From OSU600: While I loved all of Shero's moves, is it possible that he might have done too much? With all these new faces and line changes, it appears everyone is a little lost. It's going to take some time for the players to get used to everyone.
Dejan Kovacevic: Two games. That's all. Two games. Nothing to do with chemistry or adding captains and Hall of Famers. Two lousy, blah efforts after a long winning streak.
Comment From Jason: Does Hurdle go with Snider against the lefty Wood today?
Dejan Kovacevic: The only wood Travis Snider will see today is the pine again. Jose Tabata is in right.
Comment From Guest: DK, this may not be an appropriate question for the blog but figured I'd ask it anyway. I was curious as to your thoughts on the so-called Pirate apologists. Is this something you see with the Pens and Steelers? Personally I find it to be baffling. Even after the last two soul crushing years I still love the Bucs but in no way shape or form can I defend this management group.
Dejan Kovacevic: If there's anything like that group for the hockey and football teams, I've neither seen nor heard from it. Unique to Pirates. Between my time on the baseball beat and now this column thing, the sense I have is that you're talking about the same 25-30 people who are all over social media and blogs defending close to everything the management does. It's weird, but it happens, especially as it relates to sabermetrics. Also a very small but very vocal group.
They're certainly entitled to their viewpoints, but blowing up the scope of it would be a mistake.
Comment From Butch: Ever hear any stories about Mike Rice being out of control while in Pittsburgh?
Dejan Kovacevic: None. And if you saw the Trib's reports today from Robert Morris and Pitt , the people who played for Rice aren't saying anything of the kind. Might just have been a Rutgers thing for him. Just got out of control.
Comment From Kyle: What is your favorite moment in PNC Park history?
Dejan Kovacevic: Brian Giles vs. Billy Wagner. Until there's ever an actual important game in this place, that's going to stay at No. 1 for me. Unbelievable moment.
Comment From Kyle: I saw where Michael Mauti met with the Steelers recently... any chance they take a chance on him with a late round pick or sign him as a free agent?
Dejan Kovacevic: Readers know I'm a Mauti admirer, before and even after the knee injury. Exceptional football player, and exactly the kind of blow-things-up-in-the-middle backer who would be a powerful complement to Lawrence Timmons.
His visit can only be considered encouraging. For sure, teams will be scared off by how his Penn State career finished.
Comment From The Great Roberto: What did you make of the comments from the ex minority owner of the Pirates concerning Bob Nutting?
Dejan Kovacevic: The Trib exclusive by our Jeff Oliver the other morning was significant in that Jay Lustig confirmed the ownership does NOT take profits from the team, that all the money goes back into baseball ops. Been writing that for years. Good to see it substantiated from someone who's now free to speak publicly.
Otherwise, though, what Lustig was describing -- some billionaire owner who'd come in and invest his own cash -- goes against Major League Baseball's debt-to-equity regulations. It would be considered deficit spending. That's fine for the short term. We're seeing the benefits in Milwaukee and Cincinnati. But those teams are no more than $10 million or so in the red when they've made their moves, never too far. That's because of debt-to-equity.
Comment From Kyle: Is Masumi Kuwata still connected with the Pirates in any way? After he left the club in 2007, he was expected to help improve relations in the Asian markets.
Dejan Kovacevic: Funny that you ask. Just a few minutes ago, was asking my old friend Hideki Okuda, a Japanese sports writer of many years, that very question. Kuwata does some color commentary in Japan, including a couple games in the recent World Baseball Classic. But for the most part, he's just relaxing and enjoying being really rich.
Comment From Charlie: Could the Pens win a 7 game series against a playoff team without Sidney Crosby?
Dejan Kovacevic: Absolutely! Against any team in the East, for that matter.
Comment From Matty O: Chances that we see J-Mac and see him for longer than five innings today?
Dejan Kovacevic: For all we know, JMac won't last through the chat. Or he'll go the distance. Who knows?
Comment From Mike H: Where do you see Jussi Jokinen's best fit right now and ultimately once Sid returns?
Dejan Kovacevic: The shootout.
No, seriously, he's a perfect fourth-line guy in the sense that he can be plugged into any forward position, any line, at any time. He's like a less skilled Miroslav Satan who can also play center.
And is great on shootouts.
Comment From Drew71: After Huntington's statements this spring that Snider would start the season in RF, Jones has had two starts and now Tabata gets the day game start. How should we process this? That spring training play DOES count? That Hurdle has a very strong grip on decisions that sometimes are shared between manager and GM? Or something else?
Dejan Kovacevic: Huntington made the comments about Snider both at the Winter Meetings and in spring training. It was Snider's "job to lose," as the GM put it.
Don't know how else to interpret this, then, other than that he lost it.
Or, again, that Hurdle really wants Sanchez to stick at first.
Comment From Matthew: Safe to say that the Steelers are in rebuilding mode and are not realistic competitors for a title this year?
Dejan Kovacevic: I can't dismiss as a contender any team with Ben Roethlisberger at QB, but barring a significant addition at running back and wide receiver, plus some meaningful upgrade of performance on defense -- all three of which right now don't look likely -- then I side with Mike Tomlin in the "transition" debate.
Comment From PirateApologist: How is Pitt going to replace Steven Adams?
Dejan Kovacevic: Should know more in just the next few days. Jamie Dixon is supposed to be getting a look at some big men. One thing to remember is that players do get blocked at other places, and they're all aware when an opening comes up like this one. Might be very attractive for a center to come to a Pitt program and the ACC if he's pretty sure he'll play almost no matter what.
Comment From Mike H: Bigger loss for Pitt, Rushel Shell or Steven Adams?
Dejan Kovacevic: Adams, no question. I really believed that team could do something very good next season after seeing Adams finally come to life against Wichita State.
Comment From scapper: Worst possible first-round matchup for the Pens? Ovie and Caps are starting to hum. Islanders always break the Pens hearts.
Dejan Kovacevic: Worst matchup -- and I'll continue to say this until they're formally out -- is the Flyers. Next, I'd say, would be the Rangers. Not because of last night, but because Henrik Lundqvist is the goalie in the East most capable of stealing a playoff round by himself.
Comment From Jojo: I realize spring ball is one thing, but h ow long of a leash does McDonald have before he loses his rotation spot, provided he can't get it together?
Dejan Kovacevic: He has until the end of the chat.
Comment From Outlaw Pete: I have heard several people argue that Steven Adams leaving for the NBA this year will benefit Pitt's program in the long term. Agree or Disagree?
Dejan Kovacevic: Ridiculous. Based on what?
Comment From CJ: DK, how many times could u fly around the world on ur frequent flyer miles? Where would u go first?
Dejan Kovacevic: I'm working on a round-trip ticket to Mars, actually. The planet, not the town.
In all seriousness, would love to see Australia someday. That and Antarctica are the only continents I haven't checked off yet.
Dejan Kovacevic: Sorry for the pause. Had to take the obligatory first-pitch photo for social media.
Where were we?
Comment From Tom from Hopewell: I don't know who would drive him in but i would love to see Cutch bat leadoff.
Dejan Kovacevic: You want 31 home runs at leadoff?
Comment From STEVEG: Why wear a mouthgard if it doesn't protect you?
Dejan Kovacevic: Those little rubbery mouthguards, like the one Sid wore, do protect from incidental contact. Not much protects from a blistering puck flush to the mouth.
Comment From Bucco Fan Forever: If the Pirates have any sense of history they will not make it 21 losing seasons. Is the number 21 not sacred?
Dejan Kovacevic: Here's what Roberto Clemente Jr. told me on that very subject near the end of last season: http://triblive.com/sports/dejankovacevic/2695464-74/team-streak-baseball-nutting-kovacevic-pirates-results-clemente-dejan-huntington#axzz2P5Kpo2Zf
Comment From Matty O: I just don't understand that, after you have for YEARS disproved the theory that Pirates ownership is pocketing profits, and now one of the ex-minority owners again re-affirms this, there are un-named credentialed media folk (be it radio, television, print, electronic, what have you) who still advance this notion. The Pirates have done enough in both the past 21 years, as well as the previous 5 to merit the scorn of this city, so it's just a tad frustrating to still see this, in this day and age of instant information.
Dejan Kovacevic: Narratives don't die easily. The Pirates have many, many problems organizationally. The owner himself has many, many shortcomings. But the owner pocketing profits isn't among them.
Comment From NYJohn: Any thoughts on the re-signing of Stevenson Sylvester?
Dejan Kovacevic: Nice special teams player. That's it.
Comment From Brandon: Realistically, what are the odds Sid comes back wearing a half visor/half cage. Unless you're an enforcer, what is the loss in wearing a cage?
Dejan Kovacevic: The odds that Sid comes back with a FULL visor is much greater. Can't mess with this stuff.
Comment From Newtang: Do you think Despres will stay in the lineup after the other injured D-men return?
Dejan Kovacevic: He'd need to really cement himself alongside Kris Letang, show that the two work together. The Penguins have been looking for that for a while. If Despres is it, he'll stick.
Comment From NYJohn: Who else do you think the Steelers would welcome back at the right price this off-season?
Dejan Kovacevic: If you're getting at James Harrison, I'm not feeling that.
Comment From Mike P: What is the deal with Matty Niskanen. Is he incapable of playing against top opponents and eating minutes?
Dejan Kovacevic: Niskanen has had three pretty down games in a row, and you're probably warm that it coincides with Letang and Paul Martin leaving a lot of minutes on the table. Niskanen is a bona fide NHL defenseman, but he's best suited for a 5-6 role.
Comment From J_C_Steel: I'm watching the game, and I'm noticing some downward action on J-Mac's fastball. Is it just me, or is he throwing a 2-seamer more than a 4-seamer early today?
Dejan Kovacevic: All he's done so far is throw bad pitches that the Cubs -- insanely -- have swung at. Whole lot of Cubbiness in this series so far, aside from Jeff Samardzija the other night.
Comment From STEVEG: I've noticed Iginla. Have you noticed Brenden Morrow yet?
Dejan Kovacevic: I have. It wouldn't make for much of a TV thing, though. Watch him away from the puck, and you'll see the work he's doing in front of the net. Causing a lot of trouble there, creating room.
With the puck, though, no, there hasn't been much.
Comment From Alan Gifford: From you 1st pitch picture seem like you are way up, is that pic deceiving, or are you far away?
Dejan Kovacevic: I just ducked a passing aircraft, if that answers your question.
Comment From Suzzie: Can you really try to compare the Pirates to the Steelers and Pens when the salary structure is apples to oranges?
Dejan Kovacevic: Comparisons are limited, but there can be fair ones, too. Good trades, smart drafting, experienced instruction and generally conducting a franchise with class all have absolutely nothing to do with salary caps.
Comment From jzpengui: Never thought I would ask this question, but from an all-around perspective, who do the Pens miss more - Letang or Martin?
Dejan Kovacevic: Martin. No question. His ability to gobble up 50-50 pucks, then convert them into offense, was as good as anyone in the league.
Comment From Walter White: Is there any old-school hockey part of you that wanted to see Sid playing with a few missing teeth?
Dejan Kovacevic: Only if he'd be facing the Flyers.
Comment From Mario: Is Friday a must win game for the Pens?
Dejan Kovacevic: Seriously?
Comment From Dave in Ross: Why do pitches that seem to be 6 inches outside always get called on Pedro?
Dejan Kovacevic: Maybe they just look that way because he stands so far off the plate.
Comment From tim m: know the penguins are very closed mouth when it comes to injuries, but do you get a sense of when crosby comes back?
Dejan Kovacevic: I don't get the idea it'll be long at all, providing no setbacks due to infection. That's the real variable.
Comment From Mike H: Any chance the #historywillbemade will start up again this year?
Dejan Kovacevic: None. No silliness this season for me. Let them win, or let them be fired.
Comment From NYJohn: Knowing the Steelers tend to draft for 2 years out more than immediate starters, what positions do you feel will be targeted?12:57
Dejan Kovacevic: One interesting thing I've heard is that the Steelers' QB visits are way up over years past. I know it's commonly known that they're looking that way, but to see as many guys as they've seen in the past couple months, it might lend credence to the notion that this could actually -- remarkably -- result in an early pick.
Otherwise, it's the usual cast: Running back, receiver, safety ... heck, pretty much anything other than offensive line or defensive ends.
Dejan Kovacevic: One more today ...
Comment From Guest: For or against NHL expansion? Won't it dilute the talent pool even further?
Dejan Kovacevic: Ah, that was in a column recently ... http://triblive.com/sports/dejankovacevic/dejancolumns/3592048-74/nhl-expansion-quebec#axzz2P5Kpo2Zf
Let's try another one, then ...
Comment From Napper: With all the Penguin injuries and new players, will we realistically see any cohesive lines prior to the playoffs?
Dejan Kovacevic: I think so. Just look at Malkin, Neal and Iginla over the past three games. They look a little more comfortable with each shift. I have a hard time picturing Iginla taking long to adjust with anyone.
I'll repeat: This isn't about chemistry or whatever the topical intangible is for the day. The Penguins stunk in both games because they came out flat. Review the goals they gave up and how they did so. It was blah after blah.
Dejan Kovacevic: That's it for me. Going to go back to watching the Cubs hack at anything McDonald offers.
Thanks for participating. The columns normally run Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the radio show Tuesday and this here chat on Thursday. But I'll be off all next week, so forget all that.

Visigoth, poeticè for the Spanish ravagers of Mexico and Peru.
Adolphus lays the foundation of the Visigoth dominion in Spain.
The Visigoth and Ostrogoth with their great natural gifts could not found a kingdom.
The word may have some connexion with a corruption of Visigoth, a suggestion to which the use in the Girard romance lends colour.
Theodoric, the Visigoth king, was killed on the battlefield.
This romance, lying at the very root of a Gothic dynasty in Spain, marks the earliest beginnings of a line of Visigoth kings.
The Visigoth kingdom, which had stood for three centuries, had passed its meridian.
Toledo, the capital of the Visigoth Kings, is the city about which cluster the richest memories of Spain in her heroic age.
They might have run in an extra verse specifying sudden collapse—like the Visigoth's.
The Visigoth monarchy, although in many cases hereditary, was in fact elective.
1640s, from Late Latin Visigothus (plural Visigothi), perhaps "West Goths" (cf. Old High German westan "from the west"), as opposed to Ostrogothi; but according to some authorities, Visi/Vesi appears to be a Latinized form of a tribal name.

A PAIR of one-day-old ducklings found themselves on a big adventure as a major rescue effort was launched to save them.
The ducklings were being led off by the mum on Tuesday after hatching in a garden on Blackshaw Drive, Westbrook.
But two fell down the gaps in a storm drain and neighbours spotted the drama unfolding on their doorstep.
Chris Spindler said: "The duck comes every year for the past three years to have its ducklings here.
"The mum was leading them to the pond and they just fell down the storm drain .
"I managed to get the first one out after some time by hooking it out with a net as they had walked underneath.
"The other one managed to get into the main drain 15ft down.
"The fire brigade came out and said they weren't willing to send a man down there.
"When United Utilities came out the man called more people out and they didn't give up and managed to rescue the bird.
"We took it over to the pond to get it back to its mum we tried to reintroduce it as sometimes they might reject one if it has been gone for a while but it was accepted back in to the group."

Program Committee Report
By Jennifer L. Hunt, MD
Chair, Program Committee
e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The AMP 2011 Program Committee has been very hard at work over the past several months, developing the program for the November 2011 AMP Annual Meeting. We are very excited to announce that there will some incredibly novel and innovative things happening this year. Honestly, it was challenging for our Committee to even come up with something BETTER, since we all think that the AMP Annual Meeting is traditionally one of the best meetings we attend all year. Keep reading to see what we have done to try to make it EVEN BETTER this year than ever before.
One of the things this year's Program Committee has recognized is that many of us no longer practice in one Subdivision area. In fact, many molecular pathologists now have multiple and diverse professional and academic interests that cross over typical Subdivision boundaries. We have also noticed that technologies are crossing over Subdivisions and that a single technology platform might be of interest across entirely separate and different analytes. As we began to put together the program for the Annual Meeting, we saw themes developing that would be of interest to all of the molecular diagnostics community, without regard for Subdivision boundaries. Based on this premise, the Program Committee has created a Meeting that will be much less Subdivision focused. There are more thematic sessions that we think will be of broad interest across our membership in the AMP. That being said, we did still find sessions that, by definition, were focused in one specific area and these will still occur in the Workshop setting where multiple sessions are running simultaneously. There will be one complaint that we have not been able to fix. Every year, we all find ourselves saying, "How can I possibly choose between two concurrent sessions when I am very interested in both", and we suspect we might always feel the same way!
The Program Committee and AMP Council members have also recognized that last year's Subdivision lunches were not only difficult to organize, but also created logistical problems for attendees (you might remember the complications of the tickets and having to pre-select where you would sit). These were necessary steps, given how large the Meeting has grown. At the same time, we feel that the Subdivisions have now grown so large and complex that having an open, interactive lunchtime discussion has become nearly impossible. At the same time, we think it remains a priority to enable open communication and interactive discussion between members, AMP leadership, and the elected representatives. Therefore, we have also significantly redesigned the lunchtime sessions to not only accommodate logistics, but more importantly, to provide a meaningful opportunity for interaction. The lunchtime sessions this year will be held in three different rooms and will include one room dedicated to a town hall format with AMP leadership, one room dedicated to member-led tabletop discussions, and one room as a general lunch gathering for you to socialize, unwind, or simply connect with friends.
Take a look at the Preliminary Program of this year's Meeting on the AMP website. It is a meeting you cannot afford to miss! We think you will be incredibly excited about the innovative and forward-looking sessions which are planned. Block your calendar for November 16-19, 2011; schedule the time off from work and plan now to attend the exciting AMP 2011 Annual Meeting. It is sure to provide state-of-the-art education in a stimulating environment to every individual in the molecular diagnostics community.

Adrienne Bailon
Adrienne Bailon is an American singer and actress. Adrienne Bailon is part of the band Cheetah Girls as well as The Cheetah Girls movies. Adrienne Bailon is currently single after ending a relationship with Rob Kardashian, pictures of Adrienne Bailon with the Kardashian Family.
Always quick with some great advice, Adrienne Bailon is featured on the front of the August 2015 issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas.
The "Real" co-host looks stunning in her photo spread and offers insight on how she's kept her long-term relationship with fiancé Lenny Santiago red hot- "You have to make somebody continue to want you. Nothing makes a man more turned on than saying over the phone, 'I'm in bed and this is what I wish was happening.' Send a sexy photo. I don't mean a spread eagle pose in lingerie [laughs], just telling him, 'I'm in bed wearing lingerie and it smells like you. Wishing you were here.'"
It's never a good idea to mess with the Kardashian Family, and Adrienne Bailon is finding out first-hand what a sister's scorn feels like.
The "Cheetah Girls" starlet took shots at the E! reality television clan, slamming Rob Kardashian and blaming her career woes on her association with his high-profile kin.
She was a mainstay on the early days of "Keeping up with the Kardashians," but Adrienne Bailon reveals that the reality family actually hurt her career.
While opening up in the September 2014 issue of Latina, the former Cheetah Girl talks about her ex, Rob Kardashian, and how being associated with the famous family isn't all it's cracked up to be - in her eyes.
She's always held family in close regard, so when Kim Kardashian read Adrienne Bailon's scathing words about her kin in the new issue of Latina magazine, she was furious.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cutie took to her Twitter account early Wednesday morning (July 30) to defend her brother Rob Kardashian, who previously dated Bailon.
It's a day of celebration and remembrance in the USA and today (May 26) even celebrities are giving it up for our troops for the Memorial Day holiday.
The Twitterverse is chock full of encouraging messages from various famous folks, giving thanks for freedom as well as the men and women who have fought to keep us safe.
Showing attendees of New York Fashion Week 2014 just how fashionable she is, Adrienne Bailon took the Big Apple by storm in order to get to the En 1 Noir Show on Tuesday (February 11).
Sporting a long black leather coat, the former Cheetah Girl flashed her pearly whites at friends and cameras, wearing a cute white blouse and gray skinnies.
Making the most of their Tuesday evening, Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish showed up at the Guess New York Fashion Week Celebration last night (February 11).
The "Blue Crush" babe was all decked out in denim as she hammed it up with her black leather-clad husband as part of the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week festivities.
Showcasing outstanding artists and individuals in the Latino community, the 2013 ALMA Awards took place at Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Friday (September 27).
Co-hosted by Eva Longoria and Mario Lopez, the event sponsored by the National Council of La Raza hopes to show how diversity strengthens our country and how inclusion strengthens the American entertainment industry.
Looking for an easy target, Adrienne Bailon took aim at Britney Spears during a segment on "The Real" daytime talk show.
According to the former Cheetah Girl, Ms. Spears is not capable of normal social behavior due to her very public mental breakdown a few years back.
His life may be on display on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," but embarrassing details are being revealed about Rob Kardashian lately by ex-girlfriend Adrienne Bailon.
As co-host of "The Real," the former Cheetah Girl shared that she made up a boyfriend to get the reality star to stop calling her.

In the late 1940s, Carl Milsap was tossed out of town on a blue ticket.
He was walked down to a ship and up the gangplank, where the marshal handed the captain a one-way ticket to Seattle and told him not to let Milsap come back. His crime? Alcoholism. "I was a hard-drinking man," Milsap said. "Harder drinking than most. They didn't like that."

Finished PSU by Alejandro from VenezuelaBelow are some pictures from Alejandro in Caracas, Venezuela. Alejandro's power supply is used to drive his amplifier.
One thing, I would like to share -------- The 12V output should be collected right from the connecting point of all the COLLECTORS and the OUTPUT of LM7812. PCB traces are not reliable for 30A load. Even the trace for the GROUND should be wide enough to withstand the high current. I had to reinforce the traces by soldering copper wire.

Plumbers have been busy during the recent cold snap because when the temperature plummets, the risk of pipes freezing goes up. In fact, frozen pipes are one of the most common causes of property damage during frigid weather and can cause more than $5,000 in water damage, according to the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. The pipes that freeze most frequently are those in such unheated interior spaces as basements, attics, and garages. But pipes that run through your cabinets or that are against an exterior wall are also at risk. Here's some advice from the American Red Cross on how to prevent your pipes from freezing as well as how to thaw them if they do.
How to prevent pipes from freezing
Once the temperature starts dropping outside, you should take measures inside to keep your pipes warm and water running. Some may go against your better instincts of conserving water and heat but the extra expense is nothing compared to a hefty repair bill. Here's what to do.
How to thaw your pipes
If you turn on a faucet and only a trickle comes out, suspect a frozen pipe. Likely places for frozen pipes include those against exterior walls or where your water service enters your home through the foundation. If the water is still running, you can take the following steps but if you suspect a more serious problem, call a plumber.
If your you need supplemental heat, you can add a space heater to a room where pipes may be at risk. In Consumer Reports tests of space heaters, the Ambia ACH-120, $60, was the best at heating up a standardized room in 15 minutes. But models from Holmes, Lasko, Vornado and Bionaire were very good at heating a room in that time and also made our list of top space heater picks.

With the No. 99 being retired throughout the NHL, the locked out centre is donning the double nine while playing in the KHL.
GOOD WEEKThe NHL lockout isn't all bad, as it at least gives some players the chance to live out dreams they could never have realized in the NHL. Take Capitals centre Nicklas Backstrom for instance, who is currently living out his Wayne Gretzky fantasies by donning the famous No. 99 – retired throughout the NHL – during his stint with the KHL's Dynamo Moscow.
(Charles Krupa/AP)
But despite denying it's because of the Great One, teammate Alex Ovechkin spilled the beans: "Nicklas told me, 'I'll be like Gretzky in Russia.'" For a guy barely averaging a point a game in his NHL career, that seems a tall order.
GOOD WEEKRevenge is a dish best served cold – and wet if it happens in San Francisco apparently.
(Mark Humphrey/AP)
In the teeming rain last Monday, the Giants second baseman delivered the decisive out in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series, catching Matt Holliday – the Cardinal who had tried his best to take Scutaro out of the series in Game 2 on a reckless slide – on an infield fly of all things. Who says the baseball gods don't have a sense of irony?
GOOD WEEKTheir names suggest they were dreamed up by Grantland Rice himself: The Babe, Mr. October, Prince Albert and, er, Kung Fu Panda. Okay, Pablo Sandoval's nickname is more Disney than Four Horsemen, but his feat was no less dramatic, joining Babe Ruth, Reggie Jackson and Albert Pujols as just the fourth major-leaguer to hit three home runs in a World Series game in the Giants' 8-3 Game 1 win Wednesday.
And the omens are certainly good for the National League champions: other than Ruth in 1926, the first of two times he hit four home runs in the series, all the other hat tricks preceded championship parades.
(Paul Kitagaki Jr./AP)
GOOD WEEKPeople talk about the black vote, the southern vote, but nobody ever talks about the Red Devil vote. With an approximate 71 million U.S. supporters of Manchester United, the opportunity is there to help swing the vote in the U.S. presidential election, and Wayne Rooney is there to lead the way. The Manchester United striker with marginally more hair follicles than brain cells was all over the action earlier this week.
"Watched all the presidential debates," he tweeted on Tuesday, "If I had to vote would vote for Obama." So that's that then, problem solved. If only certain other English footballers were progressive enough to endorse a black man.
BAD WEEKSo despite all the lies and deceits, it turns out cycling's biggest charlatan told the truth after all. His first biography, It's Not About the Bike, hit the nail right on the head as it turns out, and his personal peloton sported the names of EPO, testosterone, growth hormone, cortisone and steroids.
And if being stripped of all seven of his Tour de France titles wasn't bad enough, the Texan is also likely to have his name expunged from the New York City Marathon record books, meaning the loss of his 868th-place finish in the 2006 race. Oh, the shame!

|Chalet Hills Golf Club -- Challenging but Fair
|Review by: Gary Lowe
|If you play the course right you will have to use every club in your bag. Variety of holes, no two are alike. Trees, bunkers, water, doglegs and hills, this course has it all. Beginners with a wild driver will have some trouble but will not have to hit over obstacles except for two greens surrounded by water. Staff is great and course is getting in better shape each year.

What causes preeclampsia and eclampsia?
The exact cause of preeclampsia and eclampsia is not fully understood, but it is believed to be a disorder of the lining of blood vessels. Abnormalities of the placenta have also been described. It likely arises due to a combination of factors, including both genetic and environmental influences. A number of genes have been studied as being potentially involved in preeclampsia, and there is an increased risk for women with affected family members. Nutritional factors, obesity, and the immune system may also play a role in its development although this is not yet fully understood. Some studies of the immune response in preeclampsia have shown problems in the way certain cells of the immune system interact with each other to regulate the immune response.
Who is at risk for preeclampsia and eclampsia?
Different factors can increase a woman's risk for developing preeclampsia and eclampsia. These include:
- Age: Teens or women over 40 are at greatest risk
- History of preeclampsia/eclampsia in a previous pregnancy
- Obesity
- Having had high blood pressure prior to pregnancy
- Pregnancy achieved through egg donation or donor insemination
- Having a mother or sister who had preeclampsia
- Having certain diseases, like diabetes, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or some kidney diseases
- Multiple gestation
- Sickle cell disease

A secretary at Mt. Nebo Jr. High School is facing charges after police say she had a sexual relationship with a former student.
Montreia Barney, 49, was charged Friday in 4th District Court with one count each of third-degree felony unlawful sexual conduct with a 16- or 17-year-old, and class A misdemeanor obstructing justice.
Barney's relationship with the 16-year-old boy began in the summer of 2010 with multiple phone calls, including phone sex, according to court documents.
Barney, a finance secretary at the school, allegedly asked the victim to meet her at a local church parking lot during that summer.
The boy agreed to the meeting and sat inside of Barney's vehicle, where the two performed sex acts on each other, court documents state. Their 15-minute sexual rendezvous was cut short when the boy's brother approached the car, asking what was going on. Barney allegedly told the brother that she had been stood up on a tennis game by a friend, so she was just "hanging out" with the 16-year-old.
In March 2012, police questioned Barney about the incident, court documents state, and she allegedly denied any inappropriate phone calls with students and denied any meetings with students outside of the school, other than running into students at local stores.
After police confronted her with witness statements about her car being in the parking lot of the church, she allegedly told them she got lost while going to play tennis, made a U-turn in the parking lot and had a chance encounter with the 16-year-old that lasted two to three minutes.
Calls to the Nebo School District about the status of Barney's employment were not returned Friday evening.
