text: AVONDALE, La., Oct. 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that its Ingalls Shipbuilding division has delivered the amphibious transport dock Somerset (LPD 25) to the U.S. Navy. The DD 250 document officially signifying custody transfer of the ship was signed by officials on the ship at the company's Avondale facility. Somerset is the ninth ship in the San Antonio (LPD 17) class of ships Ingalls has delivered to the Navy. A photo accompanying this release is available at: http://newsroom.huntingtoningalls.com/ImageLibrary/detail.aspx?MediaDetailsID=780 . "We are very pleased to deliver this ship to our Navy customer," said Mike Duthu, director of Ingalls' LPD 17 program. "With each successive LPD, we apply lessons learned that result in ship-over-ship improvements in quality, efficiency and affordability. With Somerset, the Navy is getting another very capable and adaptable amphibious warship designed and built to enable sailors and Marines to accomplish their missions." The ship successfully completed builder's trials in August and U.S. Navy acceptance trials in September. Ingalls has two more under construction at its Pascagoula, Miss., shipyard. John P. Murtha (LPD 26) is slated for completion in 2016, and Portland (LPD 27) will complete in 2017. Somerset is named to honor the courage of the passengers and crew members of United Airlines Flight 93, which crashed on Sept. 11, 2001, near Shanksville in Somerset County, Pa. LPD 25 is scheduled to be commissioned in the Navy fleet on March 1, 2014, in Philadelphia. The ship will join the two other Ingalls-built LPDs named in honor of the victims of Sept. 11, USS New York (LPD 21) and USS Arlington (LPD 24). In addition to more than 10,000 Ingalls shipbuilders, there are 650 suppliers from 38 states that support the LPD 17 program. Ingalls spends approximately $175 million a year with this vital industrial base.

Teairra Mari Interview
This April, Teairra Mari will make a return to the limelight with her new album At That Point. Its her first album release since her departure from Jay-Z's Rocafella Records a couple years back. She has since, grown from being a teenager trying to find herself – to being a woman who knows exactly what she wants. Teairra is living in Los Angeles now, but does find herself coming to Miami every so often for business and…for pleasure. And I don't mean "pleasure" as in Pleasure P – she assures us that they're really good friends. Her first single, "Hunt For You", actually features him. We got a chance to catch up with Teairra after the Super Bowl events for a couple minutes to see what she's been up to…
The305: First of all, congratulations on the new album. What's your new situation – who's releasing the album?
Thank you. The new album is called At That Point and its coming out this April via Fo'Reel Entertainment and Warner Bros.
Fo' Reel Entertainment was Nelly's management, correct?
Yes, Fo' Reel is actually headed by Cuda Love. He managed Nelly and Ma$e at one point. He also worked with Biggie. So he has done his thing over the years.
I heard you were at the Super Bowl festivities in Tampa a couple weeks back?
Yes, I went out to Tampa to attend and host a fashion show over at the Hip Hop Soda Shop. It turned out reallly nice, I had a good time. But you know, it was cold in Tampa, so soon as that was done, I had to come back to the warm L.A. weather because Tampa was soooooo cold.
That's only like once a year. Florida stays warm. But with that, how's L.A. treating you?
Well, I've been in L.A. for about two and a half years now. And I love the weather! I'm originally from Michigan so I reeeeallllly enjoy the L.A. sun.
What about Miami? I know you come around Miami every so often….
I love Miami. Miami is just the spot to be at. I love Nobu at the Shore Club. And I've even been to the strip clubs…[laughs]. I always have fun in Miami. I love Wet Willies!
So is the album done yet?
I just wrapped it up. I just finished recording with Rico Love, The Runners and JackPot over at We The Best Studios – DJ Khaled's studio. We just finished those three songs and that wrapped the album up.
(Continued below)
How was it working with DJ Khaled?
This was actually the first time working with Khaled. And he just showed me a lot of love. The studio is really really nice. Definitely enjoyed working with him.
Did you work with anyone else here in Miami?
I also worked with Nikki Minaj, who is one of Lil Wayne's new artists under Young Money. So she's definitely on the features along with Rick Ross and Pleasure P on the single "Hunt For You".
How did you get together with Pleasure P for "Hunt For You"?
Actually we have a lot of friends in common. One of our friends introduced us and originally tried to hook us up and get us together [laughs], but it actually turned into a great friendship – like a brother-and-sister kind of thing. Now, I hook him up with girls and he even gives me guy advice and all that. So…when the opportunity came on "Hunt For You" to have a guy featured on a verse, I definitely made sure I called P to get on it. It was pretty simple…
So what's the concept behind the song and the video?
The concept behind the song is about a guy who you're in love with who is…changing. He's not the same guy that you once met or what not. So its that "I'm looking for you, that incredible you, that irreplaceable you" that I fell in love with. Not this new guy. So that's what its about – just how people change during time.
Where was the video shot?
The video was shot in L.A., by Benny Boom. And you know, in the hook I say "I'll go to the end of the world if I have to…" – and I just wanted to go through different atmospheres in the video to show that. That's why you see the clouds, the sky, the desert, the nightlife and all of those different scenarios – its all in the hunt to find your man.
What's the biggest between this new album At That Point and your last album?
This new album just shows me as a woman now. I can speak from a more experienced perspective and straight from my soul. Before, I was a confused teenage girl. And now, I'm a woman who knows what she wants. Musically, I know the sound that I want and I know who I am. I just matured and now I know what I'm talking about in my music, versus before where I "thought" I knew what I was talking about.
Are any of the songs on this album extra meaningful to you?
I have a song called "Built For This" which is actually talking about my experience in the music business. And even though my back was against the wall, I am still up and running. I'm built for this industry and I'm gonna keep doing this. Its probably the most heartfelt song on the album.
Any side projects coming up?
Actually, I did a film last year with Jackie Long and Gary Dourdan called The Magnificent Cooly-T and it should be released sometime this year. So you know, eventually I am going to really get into acting, but for right now, I'm just focused on promoting the album. I'm definitely going to be on the road and on tour this summer.
Definitely! So any last words Teairra?
I just want to send a big "thank you" to all the fans for all the support. Thank you to everyone for all the love!

Greeley Schools Notes: Emails foreshadow impressive career for Edens
April 3, 2013
Around town
» Spartan kicks: Kudos to the Greeley West girls soccer team for surviving an upset bid by Class 4A Northridge in a 3-2 victory last week.
Senior Katie Weber, who's headed to the University of Nebraska-Kearney to play volleyball, picked up her third Sam Chuenchit Most Valuable Player award.
Weber is the first-ever player to win any of the crosstown rivalry MVP awards three straight times.
» Spring has sprung: If the Northridge baseball team is headed to Las Vegas, Nev., and the Greeley West squad is on its way to California, you know spring is in the air.
Both will go out-of-state to take on formidable foes during this week's spring break for District 6 Schools.
In the meantime, University High joins with Eaton to play host for an 8-team tournament that starts Thursday and runs through Saturday at both schools.
» Wolverine tracks: Obviously, the Frontier Academy girls soccer team is the second-best in the city after recording a solid victory over Greeley Central, led by junior Hannah Braun, who continued to give opposing goalkeepers fits.
It would be interesting to see how the Class 3A Wolverines stack up with the 5A Greeley West Spartans.
» Heave ho: Greeley West senior Austin Waterman set a new personal-record in the discus throw 180 feet, 5 inches at Saturday's Altitude Invitational at Rocky Mountain High School's French Field. That's a throw of 16 feet, 2 inches better than his previous best.
» Lewis rings the bell: Greeley West freshman swimmer Brody Lewis continues to earn his keep, breaking the school's freshman record in the 200-yard freestyle on Saturday with a swim of 1 minute, 49.53 seconds, breaking the 10-year mark of Eli Bell.
Samuel G. Mustari
Parker Edens used to email me when he was barely taller than the longest club in his golf bag.
He'd warm me — no, make that prepare me — about how he'd someday be the subject matter of my stories.
Well, the bravado of that young pre-teen was never taken for granted. In fact, his respectable level of confidence came to fruition.
Part of the foundation that made the Greeley Central boys golf team so sound less than five years ago was Edens, a four-time All-Northern Conference selection and two-time Class 4A All-State selection.
He knew his place among a team of standouts that included Nick Umholtz, Michael Lee, Jordan Burgess, Brandon Tomasovich and anybody else I've forgotten.
As history teaches us, good high school golfers spread their wings in the chase of finding that next level while at the same time earning an education.
Umholtz is at the University of Louisville, Burgess at the University of Denver, both after a junior college stop at South Mountain Community College in Phoenix, picking up a national title; Lee is hitting 'em long and straight at the Colorado School of Mines, arguably the best NCAA Division II player in the nation.
Edens took off for South Dakota State University, a Division I school in Brookings, S.D., where sunny days in the fall season are few and far between.
Then it was closer to home at Colorado State University, where Edens has found his niche.
He doesn't need to email me anymore. Schools have Sports Information Directors to do that. Good college golfers have caring mothers who do that.
Any writer worth his weight in salt — in this case, worth his weight in an Easter dinner plate stacked high with linguini, sausage and peppers — follows up on former prep standouts. Especially those whose cup of respect has runneth over.
Edens isn't tooting his horn. He's hitting fairways and greens in regulation with consistency. He's draining his share of birdie putts.
Life is good for the CSU junior. Especially last week when he tore up the competition at the Desert Shootout in Goodyear, Ariz.
Edens was named as the Mountain West Golfer of the Week, the first for a CSU golfer since the conference set up a new format to honor its top players.
Edens was on the leaderboard for three days, including shooting an 4-under-par 67 on the first day, following that up with a 3-under-par 68 and then closing with a plus-4 75, finishing at 3-under-par 210, good for a third-place tie in the tournament.
He was one of only four players to card two sub-70 rounds and just one of 10 players to finish the event under-par.
In 27 rounds of play this season, Edens' stroke average of 72.4 is second in the MWC.
Forever an optimist and always a perfectionist to play the game the correct way, Edens' level of success is no surprise.
The remainder of the Rams' spring schedule has Edens playing in Scottsdale, Ariz., Provo, Utah, and the MWC Championships, May 3-5 in Tucson, Ariz.
It's understandable why Edens no longer needs to send the respectful, self-promoting emails.
He continues to follow up on his promise of creating reasons for following his progress.
Just keep piling up the red numbers, Edens, while maintaining that proactive and incredibly likeable persona, and I'll gladly continue to do what you've made a pleasure since you tapped in for birdie for the first time.

CHICAGO - Sept. 7, 2016 - Kirkland & Ellis LLP is pleased to announce that Javier Rubinstein will join the Firm's Chicago and New York offices as a partner on Oct. 1 to help build the Firm's International Arbitration Practice Group.
Mr. Rubinstein is well known in the legal community, both in the United States and abroad, from his service as Vice Chairman and Global General Counsel at PricewaterhouseCoopers International (PwC) during the past 10 years, and his earlier role as the global leader of the International Arbitration Practice at Mayer Brown LLP. At PwC, Mr. Rubinstein was responsible for handling a broad range of disputes and other legal matters spanning the global network's 157 territories.
"Javier is a leader in the international arbitration world who brings invaluable experience in handling high-stakes international disputes as both a global general counsel and as outside counsel," said Jeffrey C. Hammes, Chairman of Kirkland's Global Management Executive Committee. "His leadership in international and cross-border dispute resolution will greatly benefit our clients and our Firm."
Mr. Rubinstein has handled international commercial and investment arbitrations, representing clients from North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia in complex disputes before such institutions as the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, the ICC International Court of Arbitration, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce and the Court of Arbitration for Sport, as well as ad hoc arbitrations under the UNCITRAL Rules. As a global general counsel, he has been involved in a wide variety of commercial, regulatory and other disputes all over the world, enhancing his ability to bring a multidisciplinary and client-focused perspective aimed at solving client problems. He also has had an active litigation practice throughout his career, handling trials and appeals in state and federal courts across the United States, including the U.S. Supreme Court, with a particular focus on securities litigation.
"Javier has a unique understanding of the in-house counsel's perspective because of his experience as general counsel of one of the largest business institutions in the world. That perspective, coupled with his extensive worldwide experience, will help us better serve our clients, who have growing needs for international dispute resolution offerings that match their increasingly complex businesses. We believe Javier will fit seamlessly into the Firm and strengthen our practice," said Mark Filip, a partner in Kirkland's Litigation Practice Group and member of the Firm's Global Management Executive Committee.
"I am thrilled to work at Kirkland and see so much potential to help clients with their international arbitration and cross-border dispute resolution needs," Mr. Rubinstein said. "I hope to extend the dispute resolution offering globally and build upon the work of those already strategically positioned across the Firm. International arbitration is a fascinating, complex area that requires lawyers to look at problems across a broad range of legal, political and cultural perspectives. Kirkland's multidisciplinary approach and incredible bench strength offer a powerful platform for my practice."
Mr. Rubinstein is a lecturer in law at the University of Chicago Law School, where he has taught international commercial arbitration and U.S. Supreme Court litigation for 20 years. He is a member of the board of directors at the American Arbitration Association.
He holds a law degree from the Georgetown University Law Center, a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan, and a master's degree in public policy from Harvard University. Mr. Rubinstein is from Argentina and speaks Spanish and English fluently. Before taking on his global general counsel role, he was rated by Chambers & Partners as a top international arbitration specialist in the United States and globally.
Kirkland's International Arbitration Group has broad experience representing clients before arbitral tribunals around the world. Kirkland's reputation as a firm that provides the highest quality of advocacy on behalf of its clients both reflects this wide ranging experience and results in prompt, favorable outcomes. More information on the Firm's international arbitration practice is available here.

Wink-wink wackiness rules in drag-queenly 'Priscilla'
Music is familiar, actors are likable, show is predictable
Review By Elysa Gardner
NEW YORK � First, the good news: If you're a fan of early Madonna classics and similarly delectable pop and dance hits from the late '70s and early '80s, there's a new jukebox musical that's bound to include some of your favorite tunes.
The bad news is … well, pretty much the same thing.
Like Mamma Mia!, Xanadu and Rock of Ages before it, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: The Musical (** out of four) banks heavily on the Broadway audience's musical nostalgia and its affection for easy camp. Songs and jokes alike are delivered with a wink or a smarmy grin, encouraging us to laugh at our memories, if not ourselves.
But to its credit � and ultimately its disadvantage � Priscilla, which opened Sunday at the Palace Theatre, aspires to be more than just a kitsch-fest. Adapted from the fondly remembered 1994 film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, the musical follows three Australian drag queens on a road trip from downtown Sydney to small-town Alice Springs.
The purpose of their journey is to reunite Tick, whose stage name is Mitzi, with his young son from a past heterosexual relationship. But along the way, all three learn much about themselves and the capacity for love and intolerance in the world around them. The young, brash Adam � or Felicia, when he dons his stilettos � discovers the consequences of reckless behavior, while the aging Bernadette, who underwent a sex change, finds hope in an unlikely new friend.
Granted, these revelations aren't terribly nuanced, and they tend to square awkwardly with the general mood of bombastic wackiness. Watching Adam croon and shake his booty to Material Girl and Like a Virgin � the character favored singles by the Aussie pop diva Kylie Minogue in earlier productions Down Under and in London � we're not quite set up for the homophobic attack he endures in a later scene.
If the transitions in Priscilla can feel jarringly contrived, the principal actors clearly strive to bring authenticity and compassion to their roles. Will Swenson, last seen on Broadway as the macho, hirsute Berger in Hair, is utterly natural and likable as the conflicted Tick/Mitzi, while Nick Adams delivers bracing sass � and some serious song-and-dance chops � as Adam/Felicia.
Bernadette is the most fully realized character, and Tony Sheldon, who introduced the part in the original Sydney production, instills her with irresistible elegance and humanity. His witty, moving performance is the best single reason to see Priscilla.
The show has its more superficial charms, too, from Tim Chappel and Lizzy Gardiner's shamelessly effusive costume design � which turns the chorus into dancing paintbrushes and cupcakes � to a trio of supple-voiced "Divas" who belt out golden oldies such as Shake Your Groove Thing and Hot Stuff.
The original recordings are better, of course � and it'll cost you a lot less to listen to them. Priscilla may not be as cynical an enterprise as some other jukebox musicals, but it's predictably unfulfilling.

American Muscle cars GTX by MissionaryrdrWatch
©2007-2017 Missionaryrdr
This is my latest work. It's a model based on a 1971 Plymouth GTX. If you know what this car looks like then you will easily see the million differences in the front end. I added some aftermarket parts aswell to give it more of a muscle car feel to it. I actually really like this rendering.
Model built in 3ds max and rendered using Vray.
Model built in 3ds max and rendered using Vray.
WOW! I was 23 cars like that were new. Oh how I love them!!! I would like that image in my online print shop.
What a beauty!
One of my all time favorite cars.
Note: The 'team' drag racing car was named 'Sox & Martin'.
Excellent work. As a youth, I went to Martin Dragway in Michigan on Saturday nights in the early 1970's regularly. Ronnie Sox drove their PRO STOCK '67 GTX back then. My favorite Pro Stock car/driver/combo. ROTL
Truly Beautiful!

The Plymouth Superbird is one of my favorite cars. Nice render.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have a marriage that most people only dream about. In an industry where divorce is more the rule than the exception, the couple has found a way to keep the success of their marriage a priority.
Last year during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Kidman dished on one of the things her hubby Keith does to make her feel special. 48-year old Urban makes it a point to write his wife love letters.
"I write him things, too!" Kidman told DeGeneres. "He doesn't write them every single day. When we're apart, we do that, yeah. I love saying this because he should be just adored."
Kidman and Urban take every opportunity to gush about each other in public. Most recently, Keith praised his wife while accepting his CMT Artist of the Year award.
"I have an amazing crew of people who take such good care of me. None other than the person who takes care of me the most and I love the most in the world, my wife, Nicole Mary," Urban said. "I'm so glad you're here tonight. It all makes sense because you're in the world, baby. Everything I do has purpose and meaning now, like it never has before. And, I think these things aren't happening by coincidence. There's just real meaning in why I do what I do, and it's all from you and our girls, and I love you so much."
Urban and Kidman have been married since 2006 and share two daughters, Sunday Rose, age 6, and Faith Margaret, age 3.

Deepika was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and her family moved to Bangalore when she was just eleven months old. After the jackpot with Om Shanti Om, she would either be shooting out of the country or just be busy in Mumbai. "I haven't been to my home in Bangalore for three years. It's been a really hectic time for me," Deepika said.
Ganesh Chaturthi is a very big event in Bangalore. "It is a time when my entire family, including my sister, come together or whatever remains of the family in Bangalore. I've missed the occasion for the past three years. So I can't help it. I've to go home now," she said.
This pretty actress, who has been voted as the world's sexiest woman by 'Maxim HOT 100', the Mumbai-based popular men's lifestyle magazine, is always thrilled whenever she talks about her family. Her father Prakash Padukone is a badminton player of international repute and her mother is a travel agent. While Deepika chose acting as her profession, younger sister Alisha is a professional golfer. "My sister is five years younger to me. I sometimes envy my sister. She has gone into sports like my father. And she gets to play golf professionally. That's a unique position for a 19-year-old to be in. Acting seems rather ordinary in comparison."
However, Deepika's sister was recently offered a role in a Kannada film. "That's right; she has been offered a Kannada film. But she's absolutely not interested in a film career. One actress in the family is enough," she laughed.

I doubt, that you really got the right ones. Where did you find Intel Matrix Storage Manager drivers suitable for Windows 2000? AFAIK these drivers are only usable for Windows XP and later Operating Systems. If you want the full performance of your S-ATA hdd's, you should not install Windows 2000. Windows 2000 has only poor support for S-ATA Controllers.My suggestion: You should install Windows XP. You are right and that is the reason why you don't need to integrate any Intel TEXTMODE driver, if you would use Windows XP instead of Windows 2000. Fernando when I searched the intel website, it took me to the latest file to download. reason I am not installing XP directly - I have obtained an XP upgrade disk through my school but it is not recognized as a boot disk when I put it into the CD. instead, if I put it in after win2k is installed, it recognizes fine and asks if i need to upgrade my OS. btw, the problem turned out to be one of the 2 mem sticks i was trying to put in. working on RMA for that but things are working on 1GB DDR2 at the moment. thanks for your comments.
fernando thank you for a very detailed and informative post. I am following step by step with the exception that I am downloading the latest storage manager from intel website applicable for windows 2000. do you think this may cause some problems if i apply the same procedure for win2K? FYI I have a new PC I am trying to build on a ECS G31T-M board which has the ICH7 (no R or M) southbridge. That means no AHCI. When I first tride a W2K slipstream with SP4, the isntall starts off, 'successfully' formats 131GB of a 320GB drive and there I get a blue screen. At the moment, I am going with the assumption that this is a drivers problem and I am going to try and install with a slip-stream version of the right drivers as you described. thanks edits for spelling.

Filling & Icing A Cake
Decorating By Reneekraus Updated 10 Jun 2014 , 6:54pm by Reneekraus
When icing the outside of your cake with buttercream that is a specific color (for example, pink), when you torte and fill your cake, do you use that same color buttercream between your layers of cake? I am baking a white cake that will have pink buttercream on the outside. I am just curious if it is acceptable to fill with white icing, or if it should be filled with pink as well..............thank you.
Pink frosting inside would look pretty with any cake, but so does white. You can match your filling to your frosting or fill with something different. There is no "right" way for cake.
Thanks so much! I wasn't sure if there was a "right way" and "wrong way" to do this!

Joe Jackson Taking 'Duke' on the Road
After opening at No. 1 on the Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, Joe Jackson is now looking to take his tribute to Duke Ellington on the road. Jackson and his six-piece band featuring the violinist Regina Carter are booked for 16 shows in the U.S. between Sept. 15 and Oct. 6 and 22 in Europe from Oct. 14 to Nov. 17.
"I won't make any money," Jackson says, noting he has been touring with a trio in recent years. "It's a much bigger production and it's pretty challenging to work with a bigger band again. Now I have to figure out how I'll work my own songs in."
Jackson's album, "The Duke" (Razor & Tie) debuted at No. 1 on the Contemporary Jazz chart a week ago, dipping to No. 6 in its second week. The collection is 10 songs associated with Ellington that showcases the voices of Iggy Pop, Sharon Jones, Iran's Sussan Deyhim singing "Caravan" in Farsi, and Lilian Vieira of Zuco 103 doing a version of "Perdido" in Portuguese. Jackson sings on only four songs.
"I'm a limited singer - there's only so much I can do," Jackson says from his home in Berlin. Fans will undoubtedly argue with Jackson on that one: His punk-era classics "Is She Really Going Out With Him," "Sunday Papers" and "I'm the Man" revealed a vital dose of pain and energy while his '80s work such as "Steppin' Out" and "Breaking Us in Two" defined crooning for the MTV generation.
For the album, Jackson assembled a group that featured musicians from jazz (violinist Regina Carter and bassist ChristianMcBride), rock (guitar hero Steve Vai) and funk/hip-hop (Roots drummer Questlove Thompson). Carter and percussionist Sue Hadjopoulos are the only musicians from the album who will be touring with Jackson.
Obviously, one element associated with Ellington is missing from Jackson's mix - horns - which Jackson has replaced with a fair amount of electronics, percussion and guitar.
"That was a deliberate decision," he says. "You have to make rules for yourself to give a project and identity. There were two reasons to (not use horns) - I didn't want to compete with Ellington's versions and I wanted to take the arrangements in different directions. That forced me to use my imagination more because it's quite often true that the idea of complete freedom is an illusion. There has to be rules to channel the imagination."
Jackson's initial fascination dates back to his teen years when he first became familiar with Ellington and as a music student, he became interested in Ellington's music from the early and late parts of his career. Ellington's recording career began in 1924 and Jackson tackles his 1929 hit "The Mooche" and a signature song from 1932, "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)." "Satin Doll" from the late 1950s is included as well, yet most of the other material comes from the years surrounding World War II when Ellington was at his commercial peak.
"You can't narrow it down - his 50 years of music is so diverse and so fascinating that you could spend an entre lifetime returning to this music and studying it," he says. "Our process (for the album) was the same creatively only we were re-inventing instead of inventing. The compositions are so sturdy there were so many possibilities to explore. It might be the fact that I'm not a jazz musician so I'm coming from outside the tradition and I'm open to ideas like using synthesizers.
"Ellington didn't respect categorization. It's not jazz - it's just American music he would say. The jazz musicians who did record with me helped to give the album a personality. Regina and Christian were just awesome with the way they approached this thing because they're not jazz purists."

The Internet Age Comes to Studio 54
In the 1970's, it was the playground for the likes of Andy and Bianca and Halston. On Monday, Studio 54 was the playground for the likes of DAVID BOWIE and LAUREN HUTTON and MARTHA STEWART -- and Internet types who are about the age that those three were when disco was hot and music was not yet downloadable.
Studio 54, now a theater, was where the Yahoo! Internet Life Music Awards were given out. Mr. Bowie got the ''online pioneer'' award -- he founded UltraStar, an Internet entertainment company, and created BowieNet, which was hailed as the first artist-designed Internet service provider. But even he draws the line somewhere.
''A start-up guy approached myself and Iman earlier,'' he said, referring to his pregnant wife, IMAN. ''He offered us something called 'Wombcam.' I said 'thanks, but we'll pass on that.' ''
There were those who reminisced about the old days (and nights) at Studio 54. NILE RODGERS, who produced some of Mr. Bowie's recordings, said he realized that his song ''Dance, Dance, Dance'' would climb the charts at Studio 54. ''The dance floor was pretty empty,'' he said. ''But when they heard my song, the floor was packed, wall-to-wall people dancing to the music. I knew I had a hit.''
And now?
''I'm all for music on the Internet,'' Mr. Rodgers said. ''I'm all for Napster -- as long as I get paid for my music.'' (Napster is software that allows fans to distribute music freely among themselves.)Continue reading the main story
But back to the 70's. Miss Hutton said she used to go to Studio 54, but only ''if I hadn't been to Africa in a long time.''
''You could watch herd behavior,'' she said. ''It was sad and tragic. People were taking massive amounts of drugs and behaving crazily. And they played terrible disco music. It was awful. But it was a phenomenon, and it lasted a long time, five years or so.''
Putting It Asunder
Soap opera fans have been watching the unraveling of a marriage that MAYOR RUDOLPH W. GIULIANI presided over. On Oct. 28, 1998, the mayor went to the studio where ''The Guiding Light'' is videotaped and, on a set that had been decorated to look like his office, officiated at the wedding of two characters. This being a soap opera, it was the groom's fifth marriage and the bride's third.
They were supposed to live happily ever after, of course, but Beth, the ex-wife of the groom, Philip, was still in the script. Somehow -- again, this is a soap opera -- she and Philip and Philip's new wife all lived in the same mansion.
Then Philip and Beth were on an airplane that crashed. One of the other survivors went for help, leaving Philip and Beth alone with nothing to do but act romantic. Beth became pregnant, and there were other plot twists -- a diagnosis that pointed to a bone-marrow transplant, for example. Now it looks as if Philip's wife wants nothing to do with him anymore.
''It was interesting to see that this marriage fell apart at the same time the mayor's did, by coincidence,'' said BARBARA ESENSTEN, who was a head writer on ''The Guiding Light'' until last month. ''We certainly don't blame Mayor Giuliani for the breakup of our characters. It speaks to our time.''
Great Ones' Feet
FRANZ XAVER OHNESORG, the executive and artistic director of Carnegie Hall, and NIGEL KENNEDY, a violinist, found themselves on a stage together on Monday, and neither was performing. Heavy rain pounded the Verbier Festival's tent in Verbier, Switzerland, and the performers -- including the conductor JAMES LEVINE and the baritone DMITRI BOROSTOWSKY -- agreed to let the audience onto the stage. ''I didn't expect so many people to come around and sit, literally, at their feet,'' said MARTIN ENGSTROEM, a Swedish impresario who started the festival in 1994.

Some sportsbooks offer large initial deposit bonuses to start you off with added value but offer inferior game-by-game lines than their competitors, and some sportsbooks offer reduced juice but smaller or no upfront bonuses. Maybe you don't care about bonuses or the lineset offered and just want a reputable sportsbook that serves your country, or you just want a good online sportsbook that offers basketball lines and the ability to make your transactions using bitcoin. The online sportsbooks rating guide has you covered no matter your poison. Sports bettors can browse through sports betting sites rated from A+ to F. Put simply, A+ rated websites are among the industry's best and have been most consistent for years paying players in a timely fashion. As ratings dip below the A's and B's, players can expect subpar customer service and occasional payment delays. D- rated to F websites are part of the worst sportsbook blacklist and should be avoided at all costs. Ratings are not a perfect science.

The lock box is the brainchild of one of the 20th century's most prolific (albeit misguided) inventors, Al Gore. Conceived of during his 2000 presidential campaign, this 9"x12"x6" box with a lock on it, was to serve the purpose of keeping American tax dollars out of the hands of Americans. In particular, Mr. Gore was most concerned about elderly people squandering the tax surplus (yes, surplus) on medication to keep themselves alive.
Although Mr. Gore made many gestures during the presidential debate to indicate that he had in fact created the "lock box" no prototype of the box was ever displayed publicly. It is widely suspected that the concept of the lock box was just too grandiose to ever actually function as intended, much like Al Gore's earlier invention, the internet.

Product Information
Important Sizing Note: The following measurements are the dimensions of the actual product, not of the pet they fit. After measuring your pet, make sure all measurements fit within the following dimensions (with a little room to spare in the chest and neck).X-Small
Our cold natured little lhasa puppy loves her red dragon sweatshirt from Dogo, so this scary dragon skeleton shirt was a natural. Same great fit, same perfect condition after many washes -- and the dog knows she's cute in it.
Best surprise -- the skeleton bits of white are actually glow-in-the-dark patches -- and the glow lasts for hours! Makes it much easier to avoid tripping over her in the dark -- and easy to make sure she's done her business in the dark and rain without following her around the yard.
Well made and cute as a button!
This sweater slips on really easy, the hoodie is a good size so my little one's head fits in it. It runs true to size, we love the glow in the dark feature and it's not all stiff and uncomfortable for her to wear. We definitely recommend this to anyone who's interested.
Bought this for my Morkie, you can see the picture of Comet on the bottom of the main product page, as his fall/spring jacket. All my dogs have "monster" themed hoodies, and this one fits right in with the pack. It is a medium weight fabric, and provides my little guy with enough warmth that he doesn't shiver anymore even when it is in the high 40's outside. AND it seems to be cut appropriately so that he doesn't pee on/in the belly of it. It glows in the dark too, which is really cute.

Cuba has something to offer Russia in exchange for oil
Cuba once again, as in Soviet times, asks help from Russia. And, as in Soviet times, it is about oil, and with a big discount. The main energy supplier to the island – Venezuela – can no longer provide supplies. Should Russia to meet old ally and what you would ask in return.
The Chairman of state Council and Council of Ministers of Cuba Raul Castro addressed the Russian President with a request to consider the establishment of a stable supply of oil and petroleum products to the island.
"Russia is interested in building naval and medical cooperation with Cuba"
Castro has complained to Vladimir Putin that Cuba had difficulties with deliveries from Venezuela. This forced Cuba to enter the international market to meet domestic needs, reported "Interfax" a source familiar with the appeal of Raul Castro to Vladimir Putin. In this regard, Cuba has adopted "restrictive measures in the application of energy" – in other words, the country began a shortage of gasoline.
Cuba wants the supply of oil and oil products from Russia were organized on the "favorable funding conditions". According to the source, the appeal had to be worked out by the Ministry of energy, Ministry of economic development, Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of transport and the Ministry of foreign Affairs of Russia until August 31. However, until the decision on the part of Russia was not made public.
Due to the fall in oil prices, Venezuela was in a vulnerable position. The country's economy is heavily dependent on oil, exports of which were given to 95% of foreign exchange earnings. In Venezuela a lot of oil, but it is almost all heavy and extra heavy. This means that the cost of its production is extremely high, and to produce it at world prices to $ 40-50 per barrel is unprofitable. The country itself barely survives, and was not able to help Cuba.
Venezuela – a major trading partner of Cuba. In the framework of the Alliance Petrocaribe (Petrocaribe) from 2005 Venezuela supplies oil and oil products to Cuba (and other countries of Central America and the Caribbean). Under the program, buyers of Venezuelan oil to pay for it, only 48% of "real" money. The balance is paid off within 25 years with an annual rate of one percent. Some countries, in particular Cuba, in part to pay Venezuela in goods and services. For example, Cuba in exchange for oil was provided the opportunity to use their medical system, one of the best in the world.
Literally at the end of July the Venezuelan state company PDVSA, which provides oil to Cuba, assured that he is not going to reduce supply. The representative of the state-owned company tried to deny the rumors at that time in the market. It was reported that PDVSA during the first half of 2016 have reduced oil exports to Cuba by 40%. It was also reported about the problems at the refinery of Cienfuegos. Assured by that this is some technical and engineering problems faced by all plants. "We will close certain areas of the plant during the year for 120 days to address these concerns and to update some processes," the official said.
Nevertheless, if we are to believe Castro, Cuba still receives less oil from Venezuela. However, due to the secrecy of both economies is not clear, stopped Venezuela fully supplies or talking about their serious decline.
In Cuba there are refineries, which processed the Venezuelan oil, which is already in the form of petroleum products is exported, due to this, the country enters the currency. By the way, Havana got these three oil refineries in the Soviet Union. Sale of petroleum products, as well as the work of Cuban doctors are the main sources of foreign exchange earnings of the country, and after they are already cash transfers to relatives and tourism.
It is clear that Venezuelan oil supplies to Cuba were favorable, Castro never paid for it the real market price. So now Cuba is not willing to buy oil on the open market. In other words, Russia should not expect Cuba real prices for oil. So does it make sense to go to Havana to meet?
"I think that no response to the initiative of Cuba, we will not leave. We contribute to the resolution of the energy deficit," – said Deputy Director General of national energy security Fund Alexander Pasechnik. Another question – in what form will be provided assistance and that Russia will be able to answer?
If it is only temporary disruption of supplies from Venezuela, Russia can provide oil in the form of humanitarian aid. However, problems in Venezuela, apparently, are of a protracted nature. They can only help the high price of oil, and when they grow up – is the big question. And Castro says it is about stable supplies.
"If you organize the supply of oil to Cuba on an industrial scale at a reduced price, then it can be done only within the framework of the swap supply in partnership with one of our partners, whose location in relation to Cuba is more convenient," – says beekeeper.
Direct deliveries from Russia is very expensive, primarily because of logistics. Besides the excess of oil from Russia is actually there. "Russia has no problems with oil exports. There is always the possibility to sell it. Therefore, delivering its oil directly to Cuba, we are, in fact, replaced some other direction," – said the Director of the energy development Fund Sergey Pikin. For Russia is the loss of foreign exchange earnings.
Might be a better resale Cuba oil, procured somewhere near the island. Of course, you have to do it at a loss. "Now warmer relations between Cuba and the United States. It may make sense to buy oil in America. Where the oil is cheaper, and it will reduce costs, including logistics and transport," – said pikine.
"Obviously, this is pure financial aid to Cuba. Therefore, the decision is political. The company that will do it, and this is likely to be Rosneft or Zarubezhneft, which operate in Cuba will have in response to any preferential treatment," – says Sergey Pikin.
In terms of energy, Russian companies already feel comfortable enough in Cuba. Moreover, Russia is the main investor. Therefore, in exchange for oil supplies at a discounted price Moscow, most likely, want to get dividends in other areas.
For example, Rosneft is considering the possibility to join the project of oil exploration on the Cuban shelf. It is assumed that the shelf is not less than 630 million tons of oil reserves and 280 billion cubic meters of gas and 120 million tons of gas condensate. However, with the exploration of these reserves were the problem. In Cuba there is also a "inter RAO UES", which signed a contract for the construction of four power units of 200 MW each on two Cuban thermal power plant (2022-2024.). Hydropower Cuba wanted to deal with RusHydro.
The call number of bilateral economic projects – reconstruction of the "inter RAO" Cuban TPP "MAXIMO Gomez and East Havana" upgrade "METALLURGMASH" metallurgical plant "Antillana de Acero", financed by the Russian direct investment Fund create a transport hub on the site of the air base of San Antonio de Los baños, as well as the construction of an international airport and modernization of the Mariel seaport.
In addition, among such projects – the development of Zarubezhneft, together with the Cuban oil company "Cupet" field Boca de Haruko.
Russia is interested in building naval and medical cooperation with Cuba. Earlier, defense Minister Sergei Shoigu expressed gratitude to the Cuban side for the reception, provided by Russian ships during the port of Havana. Also, Russia has accumulated rich experience in training of Cuban military personnel in military schools. Last year it was reported that Russia may resume operation of radio-electronic reconnaissance center, located in the suburbs of Havana, Lourdes. At one time there were also reports that Russia will reopen in Cuba, a military center, reminiscent of the head of the laboratory of Institute of Latin America Victor Semenov. "The Russian military ships can refuel on liberty Island, the sailors can relax there. Perhaps Cuba will be able to offer Russia participation in joint economic projects", – the expert believes.
And, of course, in exchange for oil supplies at a discount Russia can count on continued political support to the Havana on the international stage.
Russia still considers Cuba its strategic partner, so the appeal of Castro to Putin, and not Obama, such a request is not surprising, says Semenov. It is unlikely that Washington would satisfy a similar request of Havana.
"Remember when Obama wanted to Pat Castro on the shoulder, and he pulled? The friendship between Washington and Havana yet, improving only grope," Semenov said the newspaper VIEW. The analyst expressed his confidence: even if Cuba will become "very difficult," the United States will not help her. "The United States will start to put Cuba political conditions. But with Moscow, from Havana all established, we have a good relationship. Her safer to deal with Russia, which wrote off her debt and trying to find on liberty Island oil field", – he reminded.

I was heading in the right direction; I just happened to be running a few minutes late. Time happens to be important when you're trying to beat a man to his bedchambers. I blame the Orlesians for my predicament; they built their palace like a labyrinth. To what end? Did it provide the Empress some sick amusement to watch her terribly sloshed guests try to find their rooms? Every wall was white marble, every pillar was ringed with gilt, and every portrait was of a poncy man done up in lace and pastel. I had been told to seek the Comte de Sauvagéau. I'd been told that he would be wearing a silver mask done with twinings of ivy around the edges. Very Dalish. Very popular, I'd discovered as I'd gone into the ball room to find at least twenty men in similar masks. Any other day in Orlais you can identify a man down to his birth order based on the mask he wears; I came on the one day where anonymity reigned. Bribing a maid had gotten me a vague idea of where he resided (she'd used the portraits as marks and like I said, they all looked the same). With this knowledge I resorted to a second, less grandiose plan: slip him the knife while he slept. I had hoped to cause a stir by having him drop dead on the dance floor, but one cannot always catch such luck. And on this night it seemed I would have no luck, and would squander this opportunity wandering aimlessly and cursing under my breath.
Such was how I met my first Chevalier; I almost knocked the long beaked mask right off his face as I rushed into him. I mumbled a half-hearted apology and tried to move past him; he laughed and blocked the corridor. "That is no way for a lady to speak," he chided through a fake Nevarran accent. "Screaming curses that could make Antivan sailors blush."
"I wasn't screaming," I defended. "I am merely telling the empty corridors of my frustrations. If you'll excuse me." He made no effort to move.
"And what led you to such anger?" I gave what seemed like a reluctant pause as I scrambled to concoct a story when he added, "It is my duty as a chevalier to help beautiful women." I was wearing a mask like everyone else, so he couldn't have known whether or not I was beautiful enough to be worth his time. But, I'd stolen my mask from the daughter of a well-known family. (Poor girl had gotten sick. Awful cramps, some vomiting. Tragic, but her gown was better suited to my coloring.)It was entirely possible that she knew this man. I tread lightly.
"If you must know, I'm to be wed. I'm trying to find my intended so that I may see him beforehand and decide whether or not he is… suitable."
"So you run to his private rooms? Maker, but you're scandalous," he teased. "What is your intended's name? I shall help you find him in a way that won't ruin your good name."
It was easily the best offer I'd had (you won't believe the things a man will say when his face is covered with some paint and feathers), so I took his proffered arm and said, "Comte de Sauvagéau."
"You are in luck! I know de Sauvagéau, and I assure you he is dancing. Come."
He escorted me back, and as we danced in unison with all the others, he mentioned, "De Sauvagéau favors a certain spiced wine. You might find him over there." He jutted his beak to a serving elf laden with the stuff.
Concentrated deathroot sprinkled in the glasses. Seven men and three women excused themselves early, and died later that night. Three had worn the Dalish mask. One sot died right there, but he'd done himself up like a Qunari, so there'd been a bit of cheering when he dropped.
"Perhaps you should talk as you dance. De Sauvagéau has quite a musical voice."
I danced with seven men; two had what could be described as a musical voice. They kissed the back of my glove, and took a dose of fleshrot with them. All dead and stinking within the hour. One had been a foreign diplomat, and the other had actually been a woman.
"Terrible luck," my chevalier said, shaking his head. "If you can get their gloves off, de Sauvagéau has a scar curving between his thumb and forefinger. I put it there myself."
Three more men I played this peacock's game with. I rubbed their hands perhaps a little too enthusiastically, trying to feel a scar beneath their gloves. No scars, but they took the touching as flirtation and I killed them simply for the things they'd suggested.
We have a saying where I'm from: one death is suspicious, a dozen is bad pork. I had no fear of being caught, but not finishing would lead to a worse fate. The Coterie would do things to me that the Orlesians can't even dream of.
As night waned I expressed this frustration to my companion, who'd been of no help whatsoever. I told him this as we walked through a garden to see the sunrise over the white roses.
He laughed delightedly. "I'm glad that I didn't wear that mask. I actually traded with Ser Evrard mere moments before the ball." With a dramatic flourish he removed his mask and declared, "Good lady, I am your intended." I might have laughed at it all had it not been absolutely infuriating.
He was in front of me. We were alone. Every instinct instilled by my training demanded I be done with it and return home to collect my pay. Every sympathy that training should have drained from me screamed against it. If I had seen him as a target from the beginning, this might have ended differently. Instead, I simply saw another person. I saw nothing that merited death.
"I never found you," I declared. "I was told to kill the man in the silver mask. And I did. Quite a few times. Be wary, de Sauvagéau. You will not escape again."
I left him, stunned and frightened. He had the decency not to call the guards as I stripped out of the cumbersome gown and down to my assassin's silks, daggers and poisons hanging off my belt haphazardly. I took a running start, flung myself over the garden wall, and had my story prepared before I hit the floor.

Scion FR-S Serves as Classroom for NASCAR Driver Learning to Drift
NASCAR driver, Joey Logano is used to his Toyota Camry he drives in the Sprint and Nationwide series, but he was recently offered some lessons in drifting in the FR-S with Forumla Drift champ, Ken Gushi.
"Ken has done a great job showing me what to do. It's just so different than what we do learning how to get the slide initiated and then get it going, and then trying to transfer from left to right the smoothest way you can and not spinning out. That was my biggest problem–when I was going from left to right and I couldn't get the thing to not spin out every lap," said Logano.
Five wins this season thus far in the Nationwide Series have been recorded by Logano. While he has a great deal of experience turning left, and a good sense of car control he still needs a bit of instruction in a stock FR-S before moving up to the Cosworth-tuned, turbocharged drift-car that Gushi competes with.
Gushi did try to downplay the amount of teaching he gave to Logano, "there really wasn't much instructing that I had to do–just tell him where to go and he got it dialed in pretty good I would have to say. I was really impressed with his driving. If I call in sick, he's getting a phone call." Gushi is currently 14th overall out of 42 cars in the Formula Drift series. He holds the record for youngest driver in the series, having completed the inaugural season, in 2004, at just 18 years of age.

Covering a simple story about alternative energy sources at a nuclear power plant, TV reporter Kimberly Wells witnesses what could be a safety breach. But, as she strives to bring the story to light, she finds herself caught up in a conspiracy to cover up the incident.
Thirteen days after this meaty conspiracy thriller, with both the mismanagement of risky power sources and the responsibility of the media in its sightlines, came out it became eerily prophetic. Disaster struck for real at the nuclear plant at Three Mile Island, and the film shifted from paranoid to realistic virtually overnight. An event that has skewed the general view of James Bridges' toward being something of a disaster movie. It isn't really, having more in common with such testy modern parables as Network and The Insider.
Hence, it owes most of its power to the seriousness of the performances. Jane Fonda, at the height of her political clamouring, works beautifully as the anchorwoman stuck in dead donkey stories, hoping to pick up some hard news credentials with a series on new energy sources. When she, and freelance cameraman Michael Douglas, surreptitiously capture a breach of safety standards — beautifully shot through rippling coffee cups and urgent red lights — she thinks she's hit career paydirt.
The clincher for her story is Jack Lemmon's nervy plant manager. In one of his great straight roles, with that sharp flavoured mix of hangdog and justly determined, Lemmon is the true believer confronting the cracking of his faith — his slow turn to whistle-blower one of the main dramatic strands.
The '70s may have been ebbing away, but Bridges keeps the film in tune with the era's air of mistrust, shooting the movie with documentary stillness and clarity, mixing this with the futuristic sterility of the plant itself. Technology, as ever, is examined through a pessimistic prism, but the script is equipped with enough jargon and detail to expose the work and responsibility of the filmmakers. The underlying message is that it is human complacency more than anything that undoes noble scientific endeavour.
The final third captures an emotional power, ironically every bit as powerful as the nuclear equivalent, as the humanity both fights the cause and ushers in deception and cover-up.
Intelligent but dated conspiracy thriller.
