Incumbent John O'Shea is being challenged by Lynda Rubino for his seat on the Rockville Centre Board of Education in the upcoming election.
The Herald took the opportunity to ask each candidate a serious of questions to give voters a chance to better understand their positions on key issues in this election. School districts are facing challenging times, and it's important that the members of the Board of Education are the best people for the job.
It's also important that residents get out and vote on May 21. Not only is the Board of Education trustee position open, but there are also two positions on the library Board of Trustees, as well as the school and library budgets.
Rockville Centre managed to keep the budget within the confines of the tax cap this year. What will you do to ensure this continues in the future?
John O'Shea: In the future, I will continue to devote myself to the months of meetings and countless hours of speaking with the public to come up with the decisions that create a budget. I am proud to be a member of the current Board of Education, that took into consideration what the future might hold, and saved our schools from the problems that are facing most of the school districts around us. Other districts are closing schools and laying off teachers, while in Rockville Centre, our children are educated at the high levels that we have come to expect. It was our insight that led to renegotiating with all our staffing units to bring salaries down to under a 2 percent increase each year. These negotiations saved us from the predicament that so many other districts are now in. I was first elected three years ago because of my business background and my conservative views. I will continue to be your conservative voice on the board and I will continue to look ahead when we plan our future budgets.

About Booking Pop Music
Need a great popular music group for your venue or event? Make your wedding reception, corporate event, or private party come alive with a great cover band! Pop bands typically perform a selection of familiar hits that will move your guests onto the dance floor. Some pop music bands specialize in one genre of music (Top 40, Rock, etc) while a more versatile party band will play all types of music from R&B and Rock to Jazz and 70s Disco Music. A quality pop band is highly recommended for any event that you want your guests to remember; exceptional music and dancing can turn a mediocre private affair, wedding reception or corporate event into one that will be cherished forever in the memory of your attendees.
Some things to consider when hiring a Pop Music Group are to make sure you listen to audio and watch video clips. This will ensure that you truly do book the best for your next event! Next, you want to get references. Talk to people in the area about the band and get feedback. Finally, get a contract. Many professional Pop Music Groups require a deposit to secure them at your next event. Make sure to read through the contract carefully before contracting the band for your party.

"Bob's notes" are reports from CFCA President Bob Hentzen, who regularly accompanies mission awareness trip participants. You can see Bobís full update on his Facebook page.
Our entire team in Guatemala is delighted to receive this fine group of sponsors and friends.
During the mission awareness trip, sponsors experienced the buildup to a presidential run-off election, scheduled for Nov. 6.
This promised to be an exciting trip, considering election frenzy, heavy rains, swollen rivers, damaged roads and major landslides. We often adjusted our itinerary according to weather and road conditions.
Naturally, we thanked our CFCA family for prayers along the way.
Due to abundant rains, Guatemala welcomed us with a green countryside and pleasant temperatures.
We took sponsors to the CFCA office that serves more than 6,000 families in Guatemala City.
Children, teens and staff had prepared a nice orientation to the CFCA presence in their areas.
Participating were Miguel Dario Tzarax, project coordinator; Maria del Carmen Santos, social worker; Mario, sponsored for 15 years; two groups of sponsored children and mothers groups (Mezquital and El Gallito); moving testimony of Monica Catalan, mother leader from El Gallito; and me (Bob) with a group of children and mothers.
All this week, we had to adjust our itinerary as the 72 highways of Guatemala were blocked from landslides and flooding.
We did make it out to San Lucas Toliman on Sunday. We felt rewarded by the welcome of our sponsored friends and families.
What a beautiful and harmonious coming together of sponsors and sponsored. All sponsors were able to see their sponsored friends during this trip.
Eight additional children and elderly were sponsored and visited this week.
Ever, 12, sponsored by Joanne Thompson, expressed his feelings beautifully in his original poem:
No elegiste que yo naciera,
No sabias que en tu vida yo iba a estar
Pero abriste tus brazos de par en par
Para ser mi segunda Mama.
Segunda Mama, que crees en mi,
En mi valor, en mis suenos, en mis metas
Que siempre te muestra discreta
Que tienes toda mi confianza.
(Bob's translation)
You did not choose that I be born
You did not know that I would come into your life
But you opened wide your arms
To become my second mother.
Second Mother, you who have believed in me,
In my value, in my dreams, in my goals,
You who have always been wise,
Know that you have all of my confidence.
Quotes from sponsors after our day with sponsored friends and their families:
"Our dance with the elderly…What a wonderful prayer."
"I could feel God's love shining through my family."
"We made new friends that we'll never forget."
"So moving…I'm living on love."
On Tuesday after an all-night rain, we crossed Lake Atitlan in early-morning fog en route to Acatenango. With all the rain, many docks around Lake Atitlan are now under water.
A large and high-energy group was awaiting us in the city square of Acatenango.
Staff calculated roughly 1,000 of our sponsored friends and their families walked through the rain to be there.
Staff and families teamed up to offer us a warm welcome with music, dance and a truckload of fruit and other gifts.
Sponsored child Rocicela delighted everyone with her Selena-like rendition of "Roberto, no te detengas" ("Don't stop"). Her father composed this as an encouragement to Bob and all the walkers on Walk2gether.
After a nice lunch prepared by the mothers, a group of 10 young mothers from the rural area of El Socorro gave us a touching presentation about the jellies and other foods they are producing. They have formed an active group, in spite of living two hours on foot from Acatenango.
Viviana, mother of four children, is a widow at 38. Her husband died recently of a head injury. Viviana's work has been to clean a government school. She fears that with the upcoming change in municipal government, she will likely lose her job.
The gathering this afternoon was to inaugurate a new home, constructed and offered to this humble family by the sponsors and CFCA. Three of the children are currently sponsored. The fourth (Juan Pablo, 11) was sponsored today.
Because of the rains and the condition of the roads, we arrived back in San Lucas at about 8 p.m. On the mountain roads in the fog, it was impressive to see the sponsors on the bus spontaneously join in prayer.
In spite of the long day, we were all up for the Mayan prayer service-brought indoors by our strong storms. Many of the sponsors were touched by this ceremony, simple yet packed with symbolism and spirituality.
We also visited the community of Quixaya. Neither strong winds nor quantities of rain could deter Fr. John Goggin and sponsored friends from attending and the "artistas" from performing.
It was great to see mothers like Delfina, Gladys and Antonia, together with co-workers Sonia, Efrain, Mauricio, Florentin and Pedro.
I called the mothers and elderly to participate in one of my songs:
"The Shout of Your Silence"
My prayer so fervent
Is to walk by your side
Your fire of shared struggle
Will light up my life
And the depth of your friendship
Like nothing on earth
Communion of martyrs
To life will give birth.
In spite of the storm, we were able to divide into groups and visit four families. My group visited two families, both inspiring.
Dona Maria and Don Victor have five children, two of whom are sponsored. The grandfather, Don Benito, is also sponsored and usually accompanies us when the sponsors visit.
The second family we visited in the San Felipe area of Quixaya has mother (Rosa Maria), father (Jose Angel) and six children living at home.
Jose Angel, the eldest named after his father, is a good student and aspires to study medicine.
The daughters, Paulina and Julie, and the grandmother, Seferina, are also sponsored.
Please know of our love and the love of your CFCA family in Guatemala.
Heartfelt thanks to Ricardo, Luis and Gerver from the communications center in Guatemala for the fine pictures and technical help.

Dr. Grumpy: "What's up?"
Frank: "Can you come help me?"
Dr. Grumpy: "Where are you?"
Frank: "I'm in your bedroom, by the dresser."
I run into my bedroom and find...
Clever little bastard.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Practical joke? Those are some oddly shaped legs!
Correct. It's just a pair of pants and shoes.
ahahaha bet you had to look twice though!
Be fun, living with a kid like that.
Well, Dad- what happened was just this...
The wind began to switch / The dresser, to pitch / And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch / Just then the Witch / To satisfy an itch / Went flying on her broomstick, thumbing for a hitch!
Munchkin: And, oh, what happened then was rich!
Munchkins: [singing] The dresser began to pitch / The kitchen took a slich / It landed on the Wicked Witch in the middle of a ditch / Which was not a happy situation for the Wicked Witch!
Were you not married to his mother at the time of his birth?
never a dull moment at grumpy house :)
What? No ruby slippers!
Is that the wicked warlock of the east or west?
A sick sense of humor... the apple falleth not far from the tree, me thinks!
And thus explains the sage advice my dear old Dad gave me " Don't ever have kids". Have you experienced the rubber band on the kitchen spray head. Leavind the shower head open so the next in line gets the cold blast. Leaving your wallet on the counter only to return to find it completely empty.
Just wait.
The Grumpy hair (what is left of it) went white in .03 seconds.
My kids have done worse to me. My daughter is good with PhotoShop and has concocted various photos for me to find online! AAAAAAAAAHHHHEEE!!!!
Looks like Frank has a career in comedy.
How many days left in summer vacation? :)
Oh the memories...
I went to boarding school for High School and our house parents took April Fools day to the extreme.
Saran wrap on toilets, Vaseline on the _inside_ of our bedroom doorknobs, dry pasta in the toes of our shoes (cleverly only in my left shoe since the right leg was in a cast), springloaded contraptions inside drawers, cupboards and... Wait for it...
Damn near had a heart attack with that one.
Of course we had our revenge on them - a week later. Bwahahaha. It was more fun watching them come unglued tiptoeing around looking for boobietraps, etc.
How's Craig's hair?
You know, this shows is that this child is DEFINITELY YOURS.
I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too.
Tell him he really won't melt if he takes a shower. (I tell Bubba this all the time)
These boys!
That's freaking hilarious. What an awesome kid.
I think someone has Flat Stanley on their summer reading list!
That is excellent. It reminds me of this:
Nice one, Frank!
He looks a little deflated.
and then there was my camp favorite = red Koolaid, no sugar packs, put in the shower heads....
maybe you want to turn the water on all sources when Frank/sibs start coming back from camp....
or your wife can continue to send you "in first"
Little Calf Creamery. Delicious homemade ice cream and food in Thousand Oaks!

Who Knew So Few T Cells Could Accomplish So Much?
Why Is There a Bedbug on My Oscar?
April 15, 2013
Sometimes it's not about the Oscars -- news from Hollywood that is. In spite of what you read in the tabloids, this isn't the land of celebs running all over town in their Bentleys, charging whatever they want on Rodeo Drive. It's actually a town where one in seven people live under the poverty line. It's a town where over 60,000 individuals struggle daily with HIV/AIDS. It's a town, where in spite of whatever the Kardashians are cooking up next, has seen its median income drop nearly $4,000 between 2007 and 2010, to a pretty impossible to live on here amount of $52,384. This number, coupled with the fact that Los Angeles County has the highest amount of uninsured individuals in the State of California, makes you wonder how anyone can even afford to attend the Oscars.
The Berlin Patient: Man or Superman?
May 22, 2012
Sometime in the beginning of the year, I was consumed by a legal writing project. It was only fifteen pages but was going to be 80 percent of my grade. The sweats it brought on had not occurred on my body since my T cells were under 100. I couldn't sleep. I could, however, eat -- and eat and eat. In the middle of this hell, I learned about a conference to be held at the Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, California. The conference was called Hope For the Future ... Working Towards a Cure and was being sponsored by Walgreens Pharmacy. More important -- the special guest of the conference was going to be Timothy Brown, otherwise known as the Berlin Patient.

Dear Fellow People Living with AIDS,
Thank You, Bonnie Goldman, for Giving Me My Life
February 6, 2012
I didn't know Bonnie Goldman for a very long time, nor did I have many contacts with her in person. That being said, these few times we did interact, she was nothing short of a force of nature on my life. Sometimes we get lucky and meet that person who can push us beyond our comfort zones and encourage us to do things that we never thought we could before. Bonnie was one of those people in my life.
Secretary Clinton, Can We Take Care of the Americans With AIDS First?
November 30, 2011
World AIDS Day, for most of the country, is just another day. However, for a person living with AIDS like myself, it is a day of victory. Unfortunately this particular World AIDS Day is marred with insults and ignorance. A few weeks ago, Secretary Clinton announced the United States set a new direction for its global AIDS campaign, with an emphasis on HIV-fighting drugs that can prevent new infections. The key word in that statement is "global." Secretary Clinton waxes poetically about creating an AIDS-free generation, declaring that it "has never been a policy priority for the United States government -- until today."
Life's Derailment Is Not Life's Denial
October 20, 2011
I was 28, having dinner with my former partner, David, and simply stated I was disappointed with my life thus far, that I had accomplished more in the decade before I was 20 than in my 20s. Things needed to change and I needed to go back to school to make them change. I hadn't a clue exactly what that meant yet but I was ready to try.
If AIDS Is Only 30, Why Do I Feel So Very Old?
July 17, 2011
When the newspapers were ablaze with "AIDS at 30" I felt as if I should have gone out and gotten a cake, complete with the requisite 30 candles. In spite of the statistics being tossed around, we have again missed another public health moment in these ever so loosely United States. I say loosely because the quality of healthcare is truly a state-by-state situation. Indiana is about to set back the clock by defunding Planned Parenthood and allowing women to go without the most basic of health tests. States, via their federally funded AIDS Drug Assistance Programs, also get to choose which HIV drugs they cover, and what income levels are eligible.
Why "the Gays" Need Planned Parenthood Too
March 16, 2011
I grew up in Schenectady, a small city in upstate New York. Sex education was an embarrassing night with my younger brother in the school cafeteria with a black and white filmstrip from the '50s. There was no discussion afterwards, just an awkward silence because the room was filled with people you were going to see in the morning. In high school, we were barred from learning about condoms. The thinking was, if you teach them about condoms, they would run out and have sex. Yeah, right.
I'm Not Cured Yet
December 29, 2010
On December 14, 2010, my inbox was inundated with the news of the "Berlin Cure." My friends without HIV who, thankfully, have no reason to follow HIV-related discoveries as closely as I do, were all excited about this news. They were taken aback by my lack of enthusiasm. I had many reasons to hold back my joy. Some were purely scientific; some were personal.
SwagForGood.org -- Holiday Gifts for Those That Need Them Most
November 16, 2010
By the end of this year, over 4,000 Americans will not be able to access their lifesaving HIV medications due to funding short falls. HIV infections keep going up in this country in spite of the prevention efforts. But there is one group that people are forgetting about -- the men and women spending their final days in AIDS hospices across the country.
Who Knew So Few T Cells Could Accomplish So Much?
Until just a few years ago, Thomas DeLorenzo never would have believed he could become an HIV/AIDS activist. Before he was "officially" diagnosed with HIV in 2001 -- with 60 T cells and a viral load of 300,000 -- DeLorenzo had been living in denial. And until 2006, he was too busy dealing with the many side effects of his own HIV meds to think about helping anyone else. Then he and his doctors finally figured out the perfect med combo -- and, finally, DeLorenzo felt that he actually had a future.
DeLorenzo lives in Los Angeles with his partner and is currently attending law school at Southwestern University School of Law. His career goals include making sure all Americans have access to adequate and affordable health care. Prior to law school, DeLorenzo worked as a publicist in the entertainment industry, representing many award-winning celebrities.
In 2006, The New York Times named him an Unsung Hero in the Fight Against HIV/AIDS for his Christmas Goody Bag Project for the residents of the San Antonio AIDS Foundation Hospice. In 2008, DeLorenzo was the San Antonio AIDS Foundation's Angel of the Year. DeLorenzo's alma mater, Hofstra University, named him Alumnus of the Month in August 2009 for his work on behalf of people living with HIV/AIDS. DeLorenzo was recently appointed to the City of West Hollywood's Disabilities Advisory Board.

We realize Texas is a big state. (My daughter-in-law grew up in Texas, and that's what she tells me.) But it looks like three or four Texans could get together and work out their legislative differences even if they are from different ends of the state.
We're referring, of course, to the energy bill conference report that has been tied up in the Senate since Thanksgiving. A handful of senators has blocked consideration, ostensibly because of a limited product liability waiver for MTBE.
Last month, Sen. Pete Dominici, R-N.M., chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, wrote a new, less expensive version of the bill that does not contain the MTBE waiver. But House leaders say they won't vote on a bill without the latter.
The two principals in this fight are Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who represents three counties in southwest Houston, and House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Joe Barton, who represents a district in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
I say this is a Texas fight because Dee Vaughn, president of the National Corn Growers Association, the group that has led the lobbying battle for the bill, hails from Dumas at the northern end of the Panhandle.
DeLay, who was in the termite business before he won election to Congress, has never been a fan of farm programs. He allowed the 2002 farm bill to pass the House because the administration had signed off on the version written by Rep. Larry Combest, another Texan from the Panhandle.
Barton, who took over the Energy and Commerce Committee from retiring Louisiana Congressman Billy Tauzin, has never had much to say about farm programs.
Both DeLay and Barton believe the oil companies that produced MTBE did so because the fuel additive was considered safe at the time. Now those companies face billions of dollars in lawsuits because of reports MTBE leaked into the groundwater in several states.
They also suspect more than a small element of politics for Senate Democrats who were able to deny President Bush another major legislative victory just after Congress passed the Medicare Reform bill last November.
The National Corn Growers Association has asked the White House to persuade DeLay and Barton to take up the energy "lite" bill, as some have called it, but the administration appears to be reluctant to engage the House leadership on the issue.
It would seem that, as fellow Texans, DeLay, Barton, Vaughn and the president could sit down and work out a solution for the energy bill. But, then, it's a long way from Houston to Dumas, Texas. And it would be a big step for Delay, who appears to think farmers have already received more help than they need.
For farm groups, the urban vs. rural element in the fight may be a sign of things to come as they prepare to defend against new payment limit challenges and write a new farm law in two years.

Have you heard of Cake Man Raven(CMR)? If you watch Throwdown with Bobby Flay, you might have heard of him. CMR has this bakery in Brooklyn where he makes and sells his infamous red velvet cake. This is the only place where my coworker gets red velvet cakes. I've tried it…it's good!
So, Bobby Flay challenges CMR in his red velvet cake throwdown. Unfortunately, CMR didn't win, but I don't know why! I haven't tried Bobby's recipe, but just looking at CMR's cake is just impressive.
I've seen imitation CMR recipes out there, and of course, I tried to find one. To my surprise, he actually has his recipe on his website, so I didn't have to look any further! That's a shock to me, I would think he would want to keep it a secret…but that's just me.
After I got invited to a "Twilight" party (I use the term loosely because it was all an inside joke). I wanted to take the opportunity to make this red velvet cake. Of course, I made some adaptations to it to suit it for my needs. I searched for inspiration ideas and saw what Ashlee did for her twilight party. I didn't want to be too hands on for the cake, so I used ganache instead of fondant.
I wanted a dark base for the design, so I made a chocolate cream cheese frosting and layered chocolate ganache over that. I used chocolate chips and candy melts for the design. I think it turned out pretty good for an amateur cake decorator!
Red Velvet Cake with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting and Chocolate Ganache
cake adapted from: Cake Man Raven
frosting adapted from: recipelink.com
ganache from: allrecipes.com
Cake dry ingredients:
2-1/2 cups of cake flour (I used AP flour minus 2 TBSP per cup) I recommend replacing the 5 TBSPs with cornstarch, otherwise the batter will be thin
1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of fine salt
1 teaspoon of cocoa powder
Cake wet ingredients:
1 cup of buttermilk (I used buttermilk powder and 1 cup water)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vinegar (white distilled)
1-1/2 cups of vegetable oil
1 oz. of red food coloring
1 tsp. of vanilla extract
Cake Directions:
Sift together all dry ingredients. Add liquid in an electric mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until well incorporated. Slowly add dry ingredients to bowl, until all ingredients are combined.
Since I used buttermilk powder, I added the powder in with the dry ingredients and added 1 cup water with the wet ingredients.
Pour evenly into three 9" cake pans (about 1.75c batter per pan). I only had two, so I poured the batter into a measuring cup, and it measured about 5 cups of batter. Bake @ 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Rotate 180 degrees halfway though. I did that because my oven is tilted forward and bakes unevenly.
Remove from pans and allow to cool thoroughly before frosting.
Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon pure almond extract or pure vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted (I used 2.5 cups)
Place the cream cheese and butter in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed until combined, 30 seconds. Add the cocoa powder, extract, blend to combine.
Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and blend with the mixer on low speed until the ingredients are moistened, 30 seconds. Add enough sugar to desired sweetness. Increase the speed to medium and beat until the frosting is fluffy, 2 minutes more.
Frost the cake layers, more in the middle, but a thin layer outside. Refrigerate to allow the frosting to set.
Chocolate Ganache
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Place chocolate chips in a large bowl, or in the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour the cream into a saucepan, and bring to a boil. As soon as the cream boils up to the top of the pan, quickly remove it from the heat, and pour it over the chips.
Let stand for a minute or two, then stir with a whisk, or use the paddle attachment for the mixer, to mix until smooth. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl occasionally. Stir in the vanilla until well blended. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface, and allow to cool at room temperature, or in the refrigerator.
Place the cake on a cooling rack over a baking sheet and pour the warm ganache slowly over the top middle of the cake. Allow the ganache to flow down the cake naturally. Allow to cool and harden. I did this in the fridge.
Chocolate Design:
semi sweet chocolate chips
white candy melts
red candy melts
I first traced the image from the book cover with tracing paper.
Then place the image over a white sheet of paper, tape as necessary to avoid movement. Place wax paper over the image (this will be your drawing surface). Tape as necessary. Place everything in a baking sheet.
Melt chocolate chips in a microwave. Place in a decorating bag. Using a writing tip (I used #5), trace the outline of the image. Melt white candy melts in the chocolate and fill the hands with chocolate. Tap the pan on the table to allow the chocolate to spread. Repeat with red candy melts and the apple.
They coloring bled a little into the outline, so re-outline as necessary. Place in fridge to harden.
Before the ganache fully sets, place the image on top, and allow it to melt a little at room temperature for the image to stick.
This turned out very well. I wasn't able to get a clear picture of the cut cake, since the restaurant had dim lighting, so this was the best I could do.

Dead may be an exaggeration, but it's difficult not to worry about the health of an entity that has seen the life sapped of it since the onset of the financial crisis.
Many of the hedge fund traders gathered at the Skybridge Alternatives investor summit in Las Vegas are enthusiastically seeking out the once "toxic" mortgage bonds for their portfolios.
One of the more unexpected ideas to emerge from the Skybridge Alternatives investor summit has been investing in bonds issued by the government of Portugal.
T. Boone Pickens says his effort to convert the government trucking fleet to natural gas is his last go-round with Washington politicians, whom he insists don't care about the country's energy independence
Japan is about to join Europe in the debt crisis ranks, with the two regions offering the best opportunities for investors to bet against, hedge fund manager Kyle Bass said.
Joel Greenblatt of Gotham Asset Management literally wrote the book on value investing. And on Halftime he revealed 5 stocks he considers undervalued.
LAS VEGAS — Put a room full of hedge fund pros together to talk politics and chances are pretty good that it's going to be more fun to be Karl Rove than Robert Gibbs.
Investors pouring their money into long-term government bonds are deluding themselves into thinking they're getting safety against economic turmoil, hedge fund titan Paul Singer said.
The Volcker Rule is driving talented traders to leave large, well-known Wall Street investment banks for hedge funds, Reservoir Capital founder Daniel Stern said at the Skybridge Alternatives (aka SALT) investor summit Wednesday.
A "global perfect storm" looms for 2013 in which the U.S. economy could fall back into recession and the euro zone will begin to break up, according to the latest gloomy forecast from economist Nouriel Roubini.
As investors look to navigate this complex landscape in search of higher yields, we have identified three opportunities that we believe offer a combination of attractive returns and downside protection: Bank Loans, Long/Short Strategies and Distressed for Control.
In rare public comments, Third Point Founder and activist investor Dan Loeb called Yahoo "bloated" and "not focused" but added that the tech giant is a "great business" capable of being turned around.
With worrisome headlines surfacing out of Europe, Fast Money jetted to the SALT Investor Summit in Last Vegas to bring you insights from the absolute best.
Harbinger hedge fund manager Phil Falcone says his view of Europe isn't entirely dire. He's also concerned about China.
The overwhelming majority opinion is that a communist government can accomplish what no other country has ever done, namely engineer a soft landing from the bursting of an immense, speculative, credit bubble. I have a different view.
Noted market bear Nouriel Roubini has called the ongoing political turmoil in Europe a "slow motion train wreck." Speaking to CNBC in Las Vegas, Roubini said he expects Greece to leave the euro zone by next year.
More than three dozen panels, speeches and break-out sessions will offer up key insights from some of the investing world's most respected names.
As Anthony Scaramucci kicks off the fourth SALT conference this week, he does say the hedge fund industry is in considerably better shape than it was during the initial event four years ago.
John Arnold, the billionaire manager of the Houston hedge fund Centaurus Advisors, told investors and employees Tuesday that he plans to retire, according to people familiar with the matter.
What Third Point hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb is hoping for is unlikely to happen…namely that the board be forced to deal with a credibility issue that extends to its decisions to not sell the company, says CNBC's David Faber.
Here's a look at five stocks hedge fund managers hate.

Sony ensuring it has stock to quickly replace any faulty PS4s
Any gamers unlucky enough to find themselves with a faulty PS4 should see a replacement arrive pretty quickly.
That's because Sony is keeping a small number of units in reserve that will be used for those who need an exchange. Not that the company expects many problems – it reckons the PS4 failure rate is roughly the same as is seen with PS3.
"One thing we've done within our stock allocation is make sure we've got a pool of stock to deal with any 'dead on arrival' issues," Sony UK boss Fergal Gara told Eurogamer.
"It's not a vast volume, because there's no evidence to suggest we need a vast volume to deal with that. But our consumer services helpline is there to support gamers and solve any problems that do emerge.
I don't expect any major issues. Obviously any game who is disappointed is a problem we take seriously. We are looking into causes of those low level problems – and there are certain learnings that have already been taken which means we can potentially further reduce that low level down to as close to zero as we can possibly get it.
"But let's be clear: the failure rate on PS4 is well within the region we see on PS3, which is considered a pretty bullet-proof machine. There is no evidence there to cause panic either for us or for gamers having any lack of confidence in picking up a PS4."

Internal signs of a solid built amp?

With common car amps there can be little difference in sound, even a cheaper amp can sound great. You would need quite a system to pin a sound issue on a reasonable amp. They can handle distortion at max levels differently, and have difference in noise floors/sound/etc. But really I'd say your speakers/install and quality of the signal going into the amp has much greater bearing on the final sound for a typical system. Biggest problem I see is amps are fragile physically the way they put them together today (for average and less quality amps). I do swap amps in my systems because they often do change it, but that is mostly detail IMO compared to other issues. So far as I know I look for an amp to be screwed together, meaning the board and clamps are secure. I look for quality brand components, enough heat sink to handle how hot the amp runs, quality connectors/terminals/controls. I'm far from an amp designer so I'm not familiar with all amp topologies, I try to go with what works best for my app. I have an old amp that has STKxxx IC amps in it. Does not sound that great full range, but for some reason works on IB subs much better than other amps in that power range.

Unfortunately, most fireball strategies are completely shut down by Counter Fireball (which IMO is probably the most unfair monster ability in the game).
In the current build, "counters fireball" may as well read "magic resist 100%". This ability isn't found in any normal-difficulty dungeons, so I don't think it's overpowered. It is uninteresting though since it basically says "you can't use fireball".

For the entirety of the regular season, the supremacy of the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference was brought into serious question by the Indiana Pacers.
Then came the playoffs.
And the question was answered — emphatically.
The Heat became the third franchise in NBA history to reach the title series in four consecutive seasons, a laugher of a conference-title finale getting the two-time defending champions there again Friday night. LeBron James and Chris Bosh each scored 25 points, and Miami eliminated the Pacers for the third straight year with a 117-92 romp in Game 6 of the East finals.
"I'm blessed. Very blessed. Very humbled," James said. "And we won't take this opportunity for granted. It's an unbelievable franchise, it's an unbelievable group. And we know we still have work to do, but we won't take this for granted. We're going to four straight Finals and we will never take this for granted."
Dwyane Wade and Rashard Lewis each scored 13 points for Miami, which trailed 9-2 before ripping off 54 of the next 75 points to erase any doubt by halftime. The Heat set a franchise record with its 11th straight home postseason win — going back to the final two games of last season's NBA Finals — leading by 37 at one point.
"The group loves to compete and loves to compete at the highest level, and be pushed to new levels," Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra said.
Indiana led the East for much of the regular season, one in which the Pacers were fueled by the memory of losing Game 7 of the East finals in Miami a year ago. So they spent this season with a clear goal: Toppling Miami as kings of the East.
The Pacers were two games better in the regular season. They were two games worse in the postseason. Game 7, this time, would have been in Indianapolis. The Pacers just had no shot of making it happen, not on this night.
"It's bitterly disappointing to fall short of our goals," Pacers Coach Frank Vogel said. "It's bitterly disappointing to lose to this team three years in a row. But we're competing against the Michael Jordan of our era, the Chicago Bulls of our era, and you have to tip your hats to them for the way they played this whole series."
So now, the Celtics and Lakers have some company. Until Friday, they were the only teams in NBA history to reach the Finals in four straight years. The Heat has joined them, and its quest for a third straight title starts in either San Antonio or Oklahoma City on Thursday night.
The way Miami played in Game 6 made a prophet out of Bosh, who predicted Miami would play its best game of the season. The numbers suggested he was right, and then some.
Miami's largest lead at any point this season, before Game 6, was 36 points. Indiana's largest deficit had been 35.
After a layup by James with 3:39 left in the third quarter, the margin in this one was a whopping 37 — 86-49. James' night ended not long afterward.
"It was just one of those games that we want to play from beginning to end," Bosh said. "Here on our home court, we wanted to make a statement."

University of Washington researchers and global engineering firm CH2M HILL recently unveiled Greenroads, a rating system for sustainable road design and construction.
Environmental, economic, and social impacts are included in the system, which outlines such minimum requirements as a noise mitigation, stormwater management, and waste management plans to qualify as a green roadway. It also allows up to 118 points for voluntary actions such as minimizing light pollution, using recycled materials, incorporating quiet pavement and accommodating non-motorized transportation.
"The LEED [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] system has been really successful and has achieved a lot," said lead author Steve Muench, a UW assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering. "Roads are a big chunk of the construction industry that has an opportunity to participate more fully in sustainability practices. I think there's a lot of opportunity there."
The first complete version of Greenroads is available at www.greenroads.us.
The rating system was developed during the past three years by the UW Greenroads team and collaborators at CH2M HILL.
Greenroads' aims are threefold: to recognize companies already using sustainable methods; to provide a catalog of ideas for greener practices; and to offer an incentive for agencies and companies to build more environmentally friendly roads. The system can be used either for new road projects or for upgrades on existing roads.
"This helps our industry become more sustainable and shows the public that we can deliver sustainable roadways," said Tim Bevan, west region technology manager at CH2M HILL. "To some, it has not been perceived to be that important, but more and more we're finding the public is concerned about the environmental impacts of roadways."
Managers can have their projects rated for a fee by contacting the Greenroads team. Right now, limited staff means only some projects can be rated. In the long term, the team hopes to allow qualified third-party consultants to do the ratings.
"This first version is just a starting point. We'd like to know what industry thinks of the system and get their help in developing it further," Muench said.
Research funding was provided by Transportation Northwest at the UW, the State Pavement Technology Consortium, Western Federal Lands Highway Division and the Oregon Department of Transportation. CH2M HILL contributed staff time to the project.

Jesse Jackson Jr. is pointing the finger firmly in the direction of Apple and Steve Jobs, claiming they are responsible for killing American jobs.
It's simple: Because everyone can download books and newspapers, everyone who works at bookstores (he notes Borders going out of business) or the publishing industry, or for textbooks, will lose their jobs to the people making iPads in China.
It seems Jesse Jackson Jr. hasn't taken into account the amount of jobs Apple has created in many other business areas. Take a look at the video after the break. Then make sure you pop back here and let us know what you think in the comments!

The red ribbon was cut on the new CHI Lone Star College-North Harris School of Cosmetology in Houston, Texas on Dec. 6, 2013. Assembled to witness this innovative parnership were local Texas dignitaries, the Farouk family of employees, students of the school and their proud instructors, along with many invited guests. The new campus, built adjacent to the CHI manufacturing plant, means students have access to all that CHI and Farouk Systems has to offer--its team of world-renowned educators and hairdressers and its affiliation with the Miss Universe and Miss Texas pageants.
"By parntering with LSC-North Harris, we are uniting one of the largest institutions of academics with our internationally renowned brand to create a new generation of schools," said CEO of Farouk Systems, Basim Shami.
In organizing and outlining the curricululm and this partnership, Dr. Steve Head, president of Lone Star College-North Harris , knew he had a goldmine of information in Farouk Systems Founder, Farouk Shami. "This is truly a business model," said Head. "The students will go to hair shows with CHI, they're going to be taught the business side--how to run a business, because Farouk Shami has been so successful in creating the brand and the products, with billion dollars a year in sales."
For his part, Farouk Shami emphasized the importance of education in any field for getting ahead and making a difference.
"We are a company of hairdressers. We are all about improving the profession and you do that with education. Education is behind everything we do," said Shami.
Mayor Pro Tem of Houston, Edward Gonzales spoke at the ceremony and surprised the audience with his intimate acquaintance with the world of beauty.
"I come from a family of hairdressers," said Gonzalez. "My Mom opened a salon and expanded it to three locations. I saw her passion for it and how much it provided for our family."
Lisa Marie Garcia, Director of Education and Shows, was thanked many times from the stage by instructors and students for her help in opening the school. Garcia, a respected hairdresser and educator in the industry, told students: "Do what you love, love what you do and you'll never work another day. And as Farouk said, we're a family. You can always come home to Farouk Systems."
The ribbon cutting was followed by a runway show of styles created by soon-to-graduate cosmetology students and a tour of the school. Learn more at LoneStar/edu/CHIschool

UPDATE 1-20-2013: Trees are falling left and right as work progresses. Reach 4 from Monroe is officially closed and sealed off.
I couldn't help but notice there's something happening at San Tomas Expressway and Cabrillo Avenue in Santa Clara. Could it be Reach 4 of San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail moving ahead?
I've looked all over the City of Santa Clara website and elsewhere but found nothing. I wish our city governments would be a little more transparent about what's happening. I only found a single entry for the Santa Clara Bicycle Committee from June 2012. It says:
Spur Trail Update
"PWD/CE Rajeev updated members about the current status and schedule for planned San Tomas Aquino Creek Spur Trail along the west side of San Tomas Expressway from Cabrillo Avenue to El
Camino Real." The plan, by the way, is to extend a "bike lane" to Pruneridge Avenue, which is where the city of Santa Clara ends and San Jose begins.
Based on that notation, it would be reasonable to assume that this is what's happening. However, I wonder exactly what they're going to do? Will expanding the expressway require removing dozens of trees? Not that I'd be opposed to that, in some respects. Those trees drop tons of debris, enough that I've had to request street sweeping by the County of Santa Clara.
I'd really like to see the plan for this stretch of expressway. The last thing we want is something that on the surface is supposed to increase bike traffic but in practice dissuades bike traffic. San Tomas and El Camino is a busy intersection at rush hour and a cyclist has to mix with cars turning right onto El Camino. But even worse would be a walled path all the way to El Camino and the ensuing need to stop for traffic turning right. The loss of lane space would consign cyclists to the walled path.
We have that situation at the San Tomas Aquino bike trail and Cabrillo, and I consider it an accident in the making for bikes as cars exit right onto Cabrillo. Bikes give up the right-of-way here.
If the plan is to widen the shoulder and put up some bike lane signs, that's fine. Do you know exactly what the "bike lane" will look like? Let me know or provide a link.

A team over at the Total War Center is making a mod for PC strategy classic Medieval 2: Total War that replaces the knights and pikemen of the vanilla game with the units and races from the universe of The Legend of Zelda.
It's called Hyrule: Total War and brings twenty factions to the battlefield, from the obvious (Hylians, Gerudo, Gorons) to the not-so-obvious (Ordonians, Deku). It'll have a campaign, a new map and even a story—one in which Link flees back in time, causing some kind of rift that has the races of Hyrule fighting it out for supremacy.
You can see a trailer up top, but for more info—including links to download a playable demo of the mod—head to the link below.

Censorious Parent Calls Cops On Teen Giving Away Books In A Local Park
from the protect,-serve-and-enforce-personal-beliefs? dept
Here's where moral panic meets police state... and fortunately, in this case, one of the two involved parties actually showed some common sense.
Here's the short version:
A teenager giving away free books at a book giveaway event at a local park has the cops called on her by a local citizen.
After about an hour of Kissel passing out books to teenagers, Meridian police showed up. They said they had been called out by someone concerned about teenagers picking up a copy of the book without having a parent's permission.Not sure why that's a police matter rather than, say, a parental matter, but that's the way these things go. If anything, the parent involved probably picked up the "let law enforcement handle everything" attitude from educators, who seem to have relinquished the duties of the principal's office to armed law enforcement officers.
To their credit, the police arrived, checked everything out, and left.
So, why would a parent find giving away a book to be a police matter? Well, that's the longer story.
Junior Mountain View High school student Brady Kissel showed up at Kleiner park in Meridian to pass out the book parents are complaining about. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Some parents believe the book is not appropriate for 10th graders. Others who showed up said they had no problem with their teenager reading it.Parents have tried to ban Alexie's book because of some very dangerous words that should apparently never be viewed by 10th graders. According to the student passing out the book, the "sexual content" of the book is almost wholly contained within the following sentence.
The book was taken off the Meridian School Districts reading list and is under review. It is still on the shelves in school libraries.
Some Meridian parents objected to the sexual content in the book. Others say the book is anti-Christian. Some readers say they've seen worse.
Kissel says, "There's a paragraph right here where it has some sexual content. But if you look at it it's a paragraph this big in a 230 page book." That page reads 'If God hadn't wanted us to masturbate, then God wouldn't have given us thumbs."It's a good thing the citizen stepped up, or 10th graders might know what masturbation is. It wasn't just one citizen, however. It was several. Meridian, Idaho's school board voted 2-1 to ban the book, which was apparently all the justification needed to send cops after a teen giving away copies of the forbidden novel. One local idiot offered his opinion as to why the book just needed to go away.
[A]n adult named Lonnie Stiles complained that the Alexie novel contains language "we do not speak in our home."Ah. I see. So "not in your home" should mean "not in any home." Stiles is listed as an adult in this article but his behavior (along with a number of Meridian's citizens) sounds dangerously childish. If Stiles doesn't want his kid to read this "offensive" book, he should do all he can to prevent his, and only his, children from doing so. What he shouldn't do is allow his personal squeamishness towards certain words and subject matter to become school policy.
So, once again, it's the kids who are acting more mature than the adults. Somehow, they feel that banning the book would make it less likely to end up in teenagers' hands, an idea that is clearly refuted by the whole of teenage existence since human life began.
Kissel's decision to hand out 350 copies of a banned book was a statement against this small-minded board decision. 350 students signed a petition asking for a reversal, which was ignored. In response, these students were provided with their own copy, showing just how easy it is to route around censorship. As noted earlier, the book has only vanished from the school's library. It's still available at the public library, so all the outrage expended was entirely useless -- like it almost always is.
But this one went a bit further, with a parent apparently believing that the cops are there to enforce stupid school policies outside of school and uphold his or her "not on my bookshelf" morality. Ridiculous.

Last month we covered a stout 388ci small-block combination that Vrbancic Brothers Racing in Ontario, California, assembled with pump gas power in mind. Details include, 9.7:1 compression, a set of RHS 200cc aluminum heads, an RHS single-plane intake manifold, and a fairly aggressive hydraulic roller camshaft (242/248-degrees of duration at 0.050). While we had our default goal of 500hp on pump fuel in mind, we'd be happy with anything over 450, and if it's like any of the other stroker small-blocks we covered this year, our 388 should be right in there. Unlike the carbureted strokers we dyno'd in the past year, we wanted to try something different on this combination, namely F.A.S.T.'s EZ-EFI system. We've heard great things about the self-learning technology and we were anxious to try it out in a controlled environment like Vrbancic's engine dyno.
Hooking up the system is almost as simple as installing a carburetor, with minimal connections required for operation, a handheld interface module, and with help from the Setup Wizard, it makes installing EFI on your engine easier than it's ever been. This setup is designed for engines up to 650 horsepower and the system guides the user through startup and operation; it literally tunes as you drive.
If you have a 4150-style intake manifold and you're looking to improve gas mileage or to improve your startup reliability, this is a great system. The setup comes with a high-flow throttle-body with injectors and rails installed, an ECU that features internal diagnostics, a palm-held tuning module, a fuel pressure regulator and in-line fuel pump and filter; the pre-terminated wiring harness also makes install a breeze.
EZ-EFI Tips
- Make sure to position the ECU away from any electronics, such as spark plug wires, the coil, or anything that would produce noise that could confuse the system.
- The system hooks up via AN-6 fuel lines so a variety of hoses and fittings this size is a must for install. F.A.S.T.'s Master Kit (PN 30227-KIT) supplies all the hoses and fittings needed in a complete kit.
- The wide band O2 sensor should be installed within 1 foot downstream of the header or manifold collector.
- According to F.A.S.T., the A/F targeting in the ECU is pre-set and self taught. For those that know what they are doing and are interested in adjusting the targets directly, the hand held advanced section allows for those fine adjustments. It's important to note that this is not necessary and strictly optional.

Backed the project earlier in the week.
Also put a bricklink order in to adapt the Alltimate hardsuits in my collection to what looks like a more sturdy Chub shoulder frame plus more useful weapon options. Very excited for this game to come out! (An excitement that would only be rivaled by the release of Brikwars 2010 )
