Jennifer Lawrence: new hair, same goof
Here's Jennifer Lawrence at the GLAAD Media Awards this weekend where she presented to President Bill Clinton with Harvey Weinstein. It was her first official appearance since winning Best Actress in February. As you can see, she has new hair. I don't love this hair. (Or the dress, for that matter.) It's a nothing length. And think of it when it's not "done". Super nothing, right? But then again, at 22, this is when you mess around with it. It could be an in-between cut on the way to something much shorter too. Like approaching a major chop in phases.
While her hair may be different though, Jennifer, on stage at least, hasn't changed. She sasses Harvey, again, during their introduction, and then has to stand by him as he awkwardly fumbles his way through his speech -- this is the only time I've felt anything approaching sympathy for him -- before fumbling herself which completely takes the focus off his poor public speaking skills. Is that too much credit to give her?

Freeze Dried Miracle Berry Tablets.
Sold in the last 24 hours

100% authentic and 100% honest, mberry contains no colorants or cheap fillers. So go ahead and Make Life Sweeter with mberry.
Miracle Berry - The Taste Changing Berry
The miracle berry is a small red fruit originally grown in Africa which has extraordinary taste changing properties - it changes the taste of sour and bitter foods to sweet.
The active ingredient in the Miracle Berry Fruit, known as Miraclulin coats the tongue and blocks out the taste bud receptors which are responsible for sour, bitter and acidic flavours. The outcome is that all foods which taste sour, bitter or acidic miraculously come to taste sweet.
The miracle berry itself can be purchased from specialist fruit dealers, however the berry has a very short shelf life of only one or two days after being harvested, and the active ingredient miraculin starts to diminish immediately after harvesting, this means many 'fresh' Miracle Berries are lacking in miraculin because of the time taken to transport them. Also the price of fresh miracle berry can be anything from $3 - $7 each.
Therefore mberry has found the perfect solution to this problem.
Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets
Miracle berry tablets are a 100% natural pill made from the natural miracle berry which has been freeze dried. The miracle berry tablets are also known as miracle fruit tablets and mysterious fruit tabs.
Each miracle berry fruit tablet contains the freeze dried extract of 3 whole miracle berries. The freeze dried miracle berry extract contains the active ingredient miraculin in much higher doses than the actual miracle berry because the miracle berries are freeze dried immediately after harvesting, preserving 100% of the miraculin.
So far people who have used the Miracle Berry fruit tablets have reported that Guinness tastes like chocolate milkshake, vinegar tastes like treacle, tomatoes taste sweet like peaches, lemons, grapefruit and rhubarb are irresistibly sweet without tasting sour or bitter, and the taste of usually bland foods take on an unexpected flavour, sometimes not for the better.
What will your taste sensation be?
The Miracle Berry is becoming so popular in some countries now that many people are holding Miracle Berry parties! The effect is made directly from the tongue.
Take the Miracle Berry Tablet and leave it to dissolve on the tongue for up to one minute, allow the dissolved tablet to coat as much of your tongue as possible. After this you can then start to experiment with many foods and experience the taste trip, even have a Miracle Berry party of your own!
Miracle Berry Tablets / Miracle Fruit Tablets are available to order now.
Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets contain 350mg freeze dried miracle berry extract, these are THE ORIGINAL Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets.
Each packet contains 10 miracle berry tablets which split in half giving 2 servings per tablet - meaning a total of 20 smaller servings, or you can take a whole tablet for a longer lasting experience. Each miracle berry tablet contains the freeze dried extract of 3 miracle berry fruit and each packet of miracle berry tablets has an average use by date of one year from dispatch. Available in the USA at Miracle Berry USA , also at Miracle Berry Australia, Miracle Berry United Kingdom and Miracle Berry New Zealand.
The miracle berry fruit tablet changes your perception so sour food appears sweet. The miracle berry fruit tablet is ideal for people who need to limit their sugar intake as their craving for sweet foods is satisfied by non sugar containing foods. The miracle berry fruit tablet is 100% natural, with virtually no calories.

The Difference in Language Acquisition for Signing and Non-Signing ChildrenTuesday, December 6th, 2011
I recently read an article which highlighted in a table the differences between a signing baby and their non-signing counterpart in language acquisition. This table appeared on an American blog called Baby Sign Shine and I thought it would be great to share it with all you Aussie parents and create an Australian version of the table below. If you could spare 30 seconds, I would really appreciate your input to understand the key milestones Australian parents are experiencing in relation to language acquisition with their signing baby.

One thing about the 9th Circuit, you can't accuse them of playing to the gallery. It would be hard to think of a worse time (not that there would ever be a good time) to declare the Pledge unconstitutional. Fourth of July next week, September 11 fresh in our memories, etc. Even Tom Daschle felt obliged to denounce the decision. It will undoubtedly be reversed, either by the Circuit en banc or by the Supreme Court, but I think it will have significant repercussions. For one thing, how can the Democrats continue to feign grave concern when they talk about Republican judicial nominees being "out of the mainstream"? That particular strategy would appear to be history. Emails to Patrick Leahy and Daschle wouldn't hurt.

It's that time again, folks. More discussions pulled from our ever expanding and growing Windows Phone community. If you've not been 100% with it these past handful of days then fear not as we have you covered. The forum is constantly a busy place, which isn't a bad thing, but it can prove difficult to keep up with everything that's currently going on. So what's being discussed?
First up is the inevitable Jessica Alba versus Alicia Keys. The former helping represent mums with Windows Phone, while the latter takes on a role at BlackBerry to help push the brand out and drum up custom through the media. Which is better suited for the job? Well, we'll let the following photo from the BlackBerry 10 launch help you decide:
Awkward, much? We've got to hand it to BlackBerry though, they sure know how to pull in well-known faces, and it doesn't get much better than Alicia Keys. That said, the presentation did seem rather awkward. While Keys went through exactly what her role would be at the company, we couldn't help but view Jessica Alba's position with Microsoft as slightly more effective. But it's early days and we'll have to see how things turn out.
Forum member Saint Michael asked the question: Jessica Alba or Alicia Keys? Which do you prefer so far, and do you believe Alicia really does have the capabilities to help BlackBerry out? Add your thoughts in the "Jessica Alba vs Alicia Keys" thread.
Would anyone go for an actual x86 Windows 8Phone?
Intel is rumoured to be looking into Windows Phone development with an engineer job posting being viewed by many as signs of interest from the company. Unfortunately, we have little to go on and aren't too sure what this all means. Forum user tomatoes11 has an idea:
"It says that intel is looking into developing a x86 Windows phone which I guess is possible considering there are Atom based tablets that are pretty mobile running full Windows 8. I am not sure if it is possible to run a phone that doesn't totally over heat yet without a ARM processor but it would definitely be interesting. Battery life would still be a problem as well I believe."
What are your thoughts on Intel's intentions? Do you believe the company wishes to involve itself in mobile phone developement with Microsoft, or to actually bring Windows 8 to the pocket? Be sure to add your opinions over in the "Would anyone here dump their WP8 device for a true Windows 8 phone?" thread.
Your 8 suggestions for Microsoft
Our Daniel published a superb article the other day that looked at issues with Windows Phone. But what do you guys think? Have 8 suggestions of your own to add to the already expanding pool? Head on over to the "8 things that Microsoft need to fix in Windows Phone right now" thread and add your suggestions and thoughts.

Chelsea could complete the signing of Genk winger Kevin De Bruyne before the close of the transfer window, according to reports in Belgium.
The 20-year-old has been linked with the Blues for some time, and has previously stated his desire to eventually move to west London.
And now, reports Het Belang Van Limburg, Genk chief-executive Dirk Degraen flew to London on Monday to begin discussions with Chelsea regarding the transfer of De Bruyne.
The Belgium international has scored three goals in 17 appearances for Genk this season and has impressed with a number of cultured displays in midfield.
Despite Genk's failings as a team in the Champions League, De Bruyne was able to showcase his talents on the European stage, and featured in the 5-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in October.
Should De Bruyne sign for the Blues, he will follow in the footsteps of compatriot Thibaud Courtois who left Genk for Chelsea in the summer, before being loaned to Atletico Madrid.

"Hand in hand for increasing efficiency"
As in many other industries, the center of focus in textile machinery is now on ecology. Sustainability or "Blue Competence" are catchwords which drive innovation at Baumer too and lead to better, more precise and more energy efficient sensors.
Baumer sensors and encoders ensure reliable and intelligent scanning of a wide range of necessary measuring values. Frequently that is exactly the initial basis for the technical and ecological progress required.
Important: For textile machinery Baumer also offers its worldwide after-sales service and guarantees simple installation of the employed sensors.
The list of possible applications of Baumer products in textile machines is pretty long. Some examples:
- Speed detection at shafts and spindles: incremental encoders, hall and inductive sensors
- Calculation of speed ratio, thread length measurement during rewinding or cloth length measurement at knitting machines: Encoders, magnetic sensors
- Level control or monitoring of liquids with level switches or ultrasonic sensors
- Yarn bobbin diameter control: photoelectric distance sensors
- Yarn tension monitoring: with force sensors or inductive distance sensors
- Yarn rupture control: photoelectric sensors
- Cloth width control and positioning, width control of strings and ribbons: ParCon line sensors

On the Street…Dr. Michael Macko, New York
CommentsClose comment
54 comments
I've known Michael for a long time now and he is always turned out, well groomed and quite the traffic stopper with his outfits. Whether he's walking the dog or rushing to the shows, he's consistent. A true fashionista! Love the beads!
Dear me! What to do with this Michael fellow?
If he talks tough about anything, it can't be more than 90-seconds worth.
He looks so much fun to be around!
As for the outfit: y'all know he's rocking it so there's not much point in commenting (the belt and bag deserve extra kudos, though)
"He wants/hopes to see good product and he doesn't mind sweating the details." Was this a deliberate pun?!
I work in a conservative corporate environment. Even though our company has no dresscode, it is still rare to see this style on a guy in the office. My boss does it with flair though. He often wears primary coloured-trousers and it does take a bold and confident personality to pull them off (or I should say "on"!)
I disagree with your comment regarding Americans and bold colors. I think it is the Italians who do bold colors very well. Italians seem to somehow add a bold color in their ensemble without bothering audiences' senses too much.
Please tell fabulous Michael to keep Saks different – truly differentiated. While its great to see that Saks has reinvigorated itself (my store is downtown Boston), I hate the fact that it's looking more and more like Barney's. I just don't want that. Barney's has its place, but I expect Saks to be more classic and rich – not as in death by classics: more like sumptuous, substantial. If it follows Barney's kooky whims it will be death by Barney's.
Trying too hard. Why the beads? Why push your sleeves up past your elbows?
Guys like that just rock!
Belt, bag AND bracelets are great! i love the red pants/blue shoes combination – works wonders with a white shirt (is his striped or not?). I wonder how a lavender/lilac shirt would look with this!
maybe this will grow on me, but i kind of doubt it. he does look like a fun person to be around, but…well, to each their own. i'm certainly glad that are people around that can pull that off.
I don't know him but boy I'd sure like to!
As you say in your description of the lampshade lady,
"Fashion should be fun". I whole heartedly agree!
Lovely to meet you at C 's reading last week! Your suit was impeccable!
Don't generalise, Scott. Most of the Americans in Chicago have no idea what to do with colour. (I live in Chicago, and it's quite depressing.)
Particularly like the accessories….It's tough to pull off pants of the color he's wearing, but somehow he does.
to Anon 10:21
again, why would you want to remove the best parts of the look?
wheres your flair!
Even though this isn't necessarily my style, I have to admire the gentleman for his bold style and fierce conviction to fashion. He probably gets a lot of curious looks but I doubt he cares.
Bravo, Dr. Michael.
love the close up, stripes, weave of belt, red, bracelets. very nice shot.
he looks so casually cool and i adore the attention to detail…..tough but hopeful? that makes me feel good about the possibilities in fashion, all this monotony and a costume approach sucks!!!! i'd love to see a guy my age (22) with an individual style like this…elegant, cool, and bold!
love the bracelets.
I like how his aviators and the quality of fabric of the red trousers (at first I thought they were chinos, but they're not…) lend cred to the preppiness of the look.
This is an example of how this blog helps me appreciate style with an esthetic eye rather than falling back on my kneejerk reactions. At first glance, his looked seemed a little "James Spader circa 1985″ to me, but then I started noticing the details…and they are unique and fun.
His clothes seem too new. This sort of preppy outfit is supposed to be casual–appropriate for sitting in sand or on the deck of a sailboat. When the shoes look like they emerged from a box ten minutes ago and the bag gives the impression that it arrived via express delivery this morning…well, it begins to look like a costume. The summer camp beaded bracelets reinforce my impression that this look is based in nostalgia and very subtle irony.
Maybe I'm just sensitive because I knew people that dressed like this without irony twenty years ago and to see it presented as high fashion strikes me as a bit silly.
"Why push your sleeves up past your elbows?"
Why not? He's not in the army, after all.
He would be a total preppy, topsiders and LL Bean bag, but the bracelets save it.
Now HIS accessories are well chosen. They are not all over the place. Small beads, nice belt detailing. Not EVERYTHING is screaming for attention.
Isn't it a very classical nautcal outfit? Sperry Top-siders, Nuntucket Reds, nautical hand-bag, the belt… The only thing that really stands out is the beads… but I doubt them, really.
Anyway, he looks perfect. Good reminder that classics shouldn't be boring at all
Wow thats really nice. :)
His outfit is better than Cats — I laughed, I cried. I'd see it again and again!
not down with the beads…
What a fun blog. I love the photographs and especially on the streets of NYC.
The beads, shells and such strike me as a bit too contrived.
I do like the trousers though.
Dr. Macko certainly does have flair to spare! I like the ethnic and rather piratey flavour the beads impart to a traditional 'preppy' look.
May we assume from the tote that the good doctor will be imminently boarding the Hamptons jitney? Because this ensemble definitely looks like weekend/resort wear to me, and a bit out of context in the city. I wonder would good old beat-up Gucci loafers (even blue ones) worn without socks have looked more urban and just as cool, without bordering so dangerously on silly.
Macko is the genius of fashion — and a true gent.
The man is Smokinnnn….
And Hot!
Beads are fab too
Great Attitude
refined and classic, but unique. the braclets are the best part. little unexpected twists like that are what make an outfit and reveal a personality
Oh girl stop!
The beads are a great flourish, yet they don't take away from those Reds. The material looks to have a nice hand. Pardon my ignorace, but does anyone know wher ehe got them?
ralph, gap and j.crew all took their cues from the original: brooks brothers. my dad sported this look (without the bracelets, which i love) all through the 60s + 70s. michael should try espradilles too.
a class of its own….
Or better: why class?
Where are the cuffs on his trousers?! I don't see them!? Not a good sign.
What are you talking about, anonymous? I saw just earlier today a Chicagoan wearing a pink beret (it suited her well, might I add). Chicagoans wear color well; they just don't do it head-to-toe is all. Love the post – as always, Sart!
I love everything, especially the bracelets…except the shoes. It somehow completes the costume, making the look too predictable.
the look: A Preppie on holiday in the Yucatan
nantucket red, rope belt, boat shoes… I like the beads – it adds and element of playfulness to a somewhat traditional New England look (from a west coast point of view).
all hail gaius preppie!
the bracelets were a really great, but easily overlooked, detail. good thing you caught it and showed it to the rest of us
Interestingly, Dr. Michael Macko and BF-Man both showed up in this blog in the exact same month before – exactly one year ago! May 2006. Coincidence? Or… No, I think I'll stop myself here before I start off on some godawful "thread/fashion" pun.
the composition in this image is really fabulous and he looks funky fresh.
what a cutie pie.
Hello Mr. Sart! Well, my comment really is not about Michael's outfit (I like the bold colors, especially those ethnic-bead bracelets, cool, I think we will get a long pretty well, ), but what do you mean when you say "tough and hopeful"..
And Mr. Rafe Totengco, is that really you? I know you're from the Philippines..
I couldn't agree more with this assessment! Mr. Macko is one of the more wonderful folks in NY fashion. Seeing this picture – and knowing he's getting yet another well-deserved promotion (Go Michael!) – is gettig my day off to a swell start.
É a vitória da alegria e do bom humor! Muito brasileiro esse estilo!
Ei, amigĂŁo, quando vem ao Brasil?
This is the vitory of happy and cool! Very brasilian style!
Hei, man, when do you come to Brasil?
Come on!!!
( sorry, my english is so bad )
I like it a lot. He weaves in the New England preppy with a sort of street edge, perhaps with the bright red and the bracelets, quite well. The only thing is that it does rather look as though the bracelets are cutting off his circulation.
I commend his boat shoes. Don't see much of those unfortunately.
points for grooming. courageous color choices. elton's sun shades? a fashionista bordering on terrorista!
Love the beads. The first use of a skull I've seen in months that made me smile instead of making me roll my eyes.
Very fresh, classy, and marine. Me likes!
Those pants are so hot they are about to burst into flames! (The no smoking sign is an ironic twist on this composition, Sart.) :)
Anyone know where he got those cool beads?
His watch is the Tag Heuer Monaco Steve McQueen edition. I think it's a very stylish accessory for a great outfit.
-Just enough whimsy. The red pants are heroic when men don't know what to do with color. Cheers to Michael.

A Perfect Game is Rare Indeed
A Perfect Game is Rare Indeed
Obnoxious John
Today's perfect game tossed against the M's, the 21st in the history of the game, is one I'll remember. Remember for not having attended.
I didn't have any obligations that would have prevented me from attending. It was dry today and the game didn't really have a large crowd so traffic wouldn't have been an issue. But when it was time to either put up or shut about regarding the game, well, I shut up and didn't go.
I noticed last week that today's contest was a day game. Having grown up in what could be called a Golden Era of baseball, the 50's and 60's, I will always argue baseball is better played during the day. To lose a fly ball in the sun or high clouds is perfectly natural. To lose a fly ball due to a bank of high powered stadium lights is cold and clinical.
Baseball in the 50's had not yet expanded, so my earliest memories are of 8 teams per league. No divisions, no playoffs at the end of the year and most importantly, games played primarily during the day. By the 60's there were new teams in both leagues but I hadn't been around long enough to cry foul at the (supposed) dilution of the game by expanding the leagues. The pitchers mound didn't get lowered until after the 1968 season when Bob Gibson threatened to make every game he pitched perfect.
So my perspective on the game is shaped by that experience, naturally enough, and my inner baseball god tells me pitching is as important as hitting to the game. It is tremendously difficult to successfully hit a baseball in the major leagues and following that, getting around the bases to touch home plate is equally arduous. Look at last nights game where the M's stranded a bunch (8) of runners total and at least half of those in scoring position (for the uninitiated, that would be second or third base).
Learning to appreciate the degree of difficulty getting on base carries with it, and how valuable and hard earned a runner touching the plate is, make me a fan of well pitched baseball games. In fact, pitchers are judged, albeit not perfectly by a peculiar statistic called Earned Run Average or ERA. It measures, or at least at one time was meant to measure, how effective the pitcher was. A low ERA being the objective (the aforementioned Mr. Gibson's ERA for the 1968 season was 1.12!) and the guide with which we judged a hurler's effectiveness.
Nowadays the Sabermeterics folks (http://sabr.org/ ) have added a pitching stat called WHIP (Walks/Hits/Innings Pitched) which seems to me to really measure how close a pitcher comes to throwing a perfect game each time he takes the mound. ERA really only addresses how many runs, earned, the other team scored.
Going into the game today, the M's faced Philip Humber who has a career ERA of 4.06. That's not so impressive to me. But it must have impressed the M's. I have no idea what his WHIP is. But he whipped the M's today.
By the way, how rare is a perfect game you might ask? Only 21 times since 1901 has this event occurred in the major leagues.
Now get out there and take one for the team!

Finally stepping foot into the Dragon Soul raid instance, we start now with the first boss of the encounter which is Morchok.
All in all, this first boss of the dungeon is a fairly easy one, especially given that most of us will be coming off of the more complex fights from the end of the Firelands instance.
Morchok only has a few abilities to keep an eye out for and the fight doesn't really differentiate too much between the various classes that might comprise your raid so the explanation of the fight will be pretty much the same for everyone, unlike the last few bosses we've all dealt with.
When the fight begins, you'll be tanking (of course) and the rest of your raid will be grouped up behind him fairly close by. This is due to his first ability which is a nova style skill that splits it's damage between every member of the raid, more damage being dealt to the two closest players to him. These are usually the two tanks so make sure that you're standing as far inside him as you can to prevent any other member of your raid from accidentally twitching closer and taking the hit in your stead.
Periodically, he'll toss out a little red bubble on the ground. This is typically not your responsibility to deal with as a tank so just make sure that you stay away from it when it spawns as it will 'attach' itself to the players nearest to it and explode, doing more damage the further away the player is from the orb.
There is your standard armor debuff in this fight so as you tank, keep an eye on your stacks of the debuff and coordinate with your offtank to taunt off of you when you feel like you're taking too much damage for comfort.
Every now and then, Morchok will throw out his final ability where he drags everyone to him then drop a number of fragments along the edges of the path. Shortly after, he'll throw out his final skill, black blood. It's pretty hard to miss this when it comes knocking so you'll have to double-time it to one of the fragments that were mentioned previously and hide behind it until the black blood fades away, at which point, you'll be back to tanking him as normal.
He does have a bit of a mini-enrage when he hits 20% HP where he attacks a little faster and does a little more damage but talk to your healers, talk to your offtank and make sure that everyone's ready with their taunts and cooldowns to help out and you should be just fine.
Grab some loot and get ready to move deeper into the instance.

text: Even as tabloids continue to call upon him hourly to do the honorable thing, Justin Theroux has signed on to rewrite and direct the Warner Bros. comedy Swear To God instead of marrying girlfriend Jennifer Aniston and giving her babies. Deadline reports that Theroux, who still hasn't even bought a ring, will follow his 2008 directorial debut Dedication (ironically titled, considering his obvious total lack of it) by helming the film in which Will Ferrell plays a "narcissistic hedge fund manager" who believes he's seen God, and reunites with his Anchorman co-star Steve Carell in an as-yet-unspecified role. Theroux—whose past writing credits include Tropic Thunder, Iron Man 2, and whatever lies about commitment he concocted to string Aniston along like this—will be working from an original script by the writers of Due Date, in yet another sad reminder of how Aniston will never get to be a mommy. Upon hearing the news, Jennifer Aniston smiled wanly at Theroux, putting on a brave face to say, "That's great," before excusing herself to the nearest restroom to cry.

Lava Kept Rolling. So Did His Camera
Placed in a crevice at Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park, the camera recorded a lava flow drawing near, nearer, and then too near.
In the video, sudden flames spout at the bottom of the screen before obstructing the view as the GoPro Hero4 is swallowed. A year after the video was posted to YouTube—and more recently popularized after a drone camera met a similar fate—National Geographic explains what happened: While leading visitors on a tour of the park in August 2016, Kilauea EcoGuides owner Erik Storm put his camera down to record a fast-moving lava flow.
That became a "$400 mistake" as, distracted, he told his charges about the Polynesian fire goddess Pele and was too late to pull his camera out of harm's—or Pele's—way.

ALBUQUERQUE, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Brain changes persist for months in children who have sustained a mild traumatic brain injury, or concussion, U.S. researchers say.
Andrew Mayer and colleagues at the Mind Research Network and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque studied children ages 10-17 with mild traumatic brain injury.
The study, published in The Journal of Neuroscience, found structural changes in the white matter of children's brains seen about two weeks after the injury remained evident more than three months later despite the disappearance of injury-related symptoms.
"These findings may have important implications about when it is truly safe for a child to resume physical activities that may produce a second concussion, potentially further injuring an already vulnerable brain," Mayer said in a statement.
The researchers conducted cognitive testing and used an advanced imaging technique known as diffusion tensor imaging to examine the brains of 15 children who had within 21 days of injury experienced a concussion and 15 unaffected children.
In the brain, DTI specifically images white matter. During a follow-up visit about four months after the injury, the scientists repeated cognitive testing and imaging, Mayer said.
Initial testing revealed that children with the mild brain injury had subtle cognitive deficits and changes in white matter compared with healthy counterparts, the study said.
While the children did not report symptoms of the injury during the follow-up visit, DTI revealed that the structural changes to the brain remained, Mayer said.

The promise of island oysters is not a cruel December joke; actually, it's the Appalachian Oyster Bash & Seafood Boil, a fundraiser for RiverLink and the Downtown Marshall Association. The island in question is Blannahassett Island, an easily accessible landmark in the middle of the French Broad River.
"It's an ideal spot for a seafood cookout — right on the river and right in downtown Marshall," says Dave Russell of RiverLink.
The afternoon of low-country boil, local beer, oysters and live music takes place in Marshall High Studios, a former school that now houses artists. Highland, Pisgah and Natty Greene's brewing companies will bring the beer, and Mayfel's, Zuma Coffee of Marshall and Madison Farms will help out with the food. Oysters and other seafood will come from North Carolina CATCH and Locals Seafood of Raleigh. Food is served from 1 t0 7 p.m.
Local bands Common Foundation, The Good Old Boyz, Broken Lilacs and the Dye Wells will play throughout the afternoon. Local boogie boys Screaming Js close out the event with a post-meal concert from 7 to 11 p.m.
Tickets cost $6 in advance or $8 at the event. Kids 10 and under get in for free. The oysters, seafood and beer cost an additional $6, but if you bring three or more canned goods to donate to Neighbors In Need, there's a $3 discount.
Proceeds from the event could flow downstream as RiverLink works throughout the French Broad River Basin. In Asheville, the organization promotes greenways, river recreation and ecosystem health.
For tickets, visit sponsor organization Hills to Holy Water at h2h2o.org.

I was taught in yeshiva that as a young man, Rambam just studied Torah and was supported by his brother, who was a jewel merchant. Then his brother died at sea, so Rambam became a physician.
Recently someone told me that no, Rambam was never a "professional Torah student." His brother did the hard work of sailing the seas to obtain the jewels wholesale, and Rambam had a fairly calm job retailing them -- but he was still working.
Does anyone have sources on this, please?

For my research I have been working with different continuous-time Lyapunov equations of the form \begin{equation} M R + R M^\text{T} = G \end{equation} where all matrices are real and $n\times n$ ($R$ is symmetric). Component-wise, they read \begin{equation} \sum_k\left( M_{i,k} R_{k,j} + M_{j,k}R_{k,i} \right)= G_{i,j} \end{equation} However, I have now modified the problem so that the diagonal equations ($i=j$) become \begin{equation} \sum_k\left( M_{i,k} R_{k,i} + M_{i,k}R_{k,i} \right) -\delta_i R_{i,i}= G_{i,i} \end{equation} ie, a new term appears which involves only the diagonal entries, with the $\delta_i$ being real numbers.
How do I express this extra term in matrix notation? I was hoping this could be written as a Riccati or Sylvester type of equation so that I could employ specialised solvers.
Actually, a related but more general question is: what linear transformation $T$ (and its accompanying matrix) should I perform in a matrix $A$ to obtain a diagonal matrix with the original entries; i.e., \begin{equation} T(A) = \text{diag}(a_{1,1}, a_{2,2},\ldots,a_{n,n}) \end{equation}
Thank you very much for the support.

So glad I found a thread about this. Holly is nearing 7 months now and I've gradually starting to bike with her using the "walky-dog" around the quieter parts of my neighborhood for 15-30 mins at a time. She generally likes running along side the bike and it's such a good energy released for her that I think I will keep it up at least a couple times a week.

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WLS) -- A small plane crashed upon landing at the Chicago-Rockford International Airport Monday evening.
Officials said at about 5:26 p.m. the six passenger twin-engine King Air aircraft was coming in for a landing when it crashed just short of airport property, but came to a stop on airport grounds.
"They struck the ground just east of Falcon Road. They bounced over the road through the fence, the perimeter fence of the airport, and that's where they landed," said Deputy Fire Chief Brian Kunce, Rockford Airport Fire Department.
It was unclear if the crash was mechanical or related to strong winds. The airport reported gusts of up to 35 miles per hour Monday night.
"Once our company arrived on scene they found that the plane ended up crash landing inside the airport grounds," Kunce said.
Airport officials said four people were on board the plane, including the pilot. Emergency responders had to extricate the pilot and one of the passengers off the plane, and they remained hospitalized in serious to critical condition Monday night.
The other two passengers suffered minor injuries and were also taken to local hospitals for treatment.
The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation.
Falcon Road is expected to remain closed overnight. The airport resumed normal operations Monday evening and experienced only minimal delays, officials said.
C90 crash KRFD, 4 seriously injured
The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent Federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident the United States. The NTSB determines the probable cause of the accidents and issues safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. In addition, the NTSB carries out special studies concerning transportation safety and coordinates the resources of the Federal Government and other organizations to provide assistance to victims and their family members impacted by major transportation disasters.

Rondo Gets Pissed At Cameraman
Watch as Rondo goes after a cameraman following the Celtics loss.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: It is impossible to take you serious in the jacket Rondo.
Lets start at the beginning. The Celtics loss the Hawks 87-86 Tuesday night. The Celtics had one last chance to pull out the win when Rondo stole the ball with 10 seconds left, but then he proceeded to dribble down the court, go around in a couple circles, and turn the ball over. Clearly, he was upset with how his ball handling had cost the Celtics their last chance at a shot to win.
This frustration carried over after the game when Rondo was seen yelling at a mild mannered cameraman. Rondo not only refuses to do the interview, he then proceeds to get in the cameraman's face and threaten him.
First things first, can we discuss Rondo's jacket. What in the name of everything that is holy was Rondo wearing? Someone contact Tito Jackson because Rajon stole his jacket. I'm not even convinced Rondo was that upset about the cameraman or the loss to Atlanta. I think he's just really pissed someone caught him wearing that ridiculous jacket. And quite frankly, he has every reason to be pissed.

Java Concurrency: Queue Processing, Part 1
This is the first in a series on Java concurrency patterns. Java has many built in classes and functionality to help write concurrent code, with varying ways to synchronize the activities of threads. For instance, there are monitors, locks, latches, atomic operations, delayed tasks, future tasks, barriers, the list goes on. In this installment, we'll implement queue processing across a pool of worker threads using basic Java Thread synchronization and object monitors.
The Queue as Monitor
Every Java class extends the
Object class by default. There are several built-in methods on this class, of which we'll focus on
notify(), and
notifyAll(). These methods operate on the object's monitor, which is used to synchronize operations across a group of threads. There are some rules to follow, but it's really quite simple: The waiting thread needs to own the object's monitor, which means it must call
wait() within the code that synchronizes on the monitor. There are three ways of doing this, reference the Java API for more details. Here's one example:
synchronized (obj) { while ( condition ) { obj.wait(); // perform some action } }
Conversely, the thread that signals the waiting thread(s) will call
notifyAll() on the same monitor object. It, too, needs to own the monitor to do this, as in this example:
synchronized (obj) { obj.notify(); }
notify() wakes up a single thread waiting on the monitor, while
notifyAll() wakes up all of the threads waiting on the monitor. In general, calling
notify()is more efficient as it results in fewer thread context switches, but there are times where
notifyAll() may be a better choice. For instance, when work is produced at a high rate, it may be more efficient to wake as many threads as possible each time work is placed on the queue. This is mainly an implementation decision that you need to make.
Multithreaded Queue Example
Let's examine a common scenario in which tasks are executed by worker threads, and where the work is coordinated via a queue to ensure once-and-only-once execution of each task. In this case, we'll use the queue (itself a Java
Object) as the monitor as well. Here's the overall design:
- Create a queue to act as a monitor and a way to transfer work
- Create a pool of worker threads (consumers) that each wait on the monitor (the queue)
- Create one or more producers that place items on the queue
- Notify the monitor when an item is placed on the queue, which in turn wakes up a worker to pull the next item off the queue
Let's start by looking at the worker's class,
MyWorker, which itself extends
public class MyWorker extends Thread { private static int instance = 0; private final Queue<String> queue; public MyWorker(Queue queue) { this.queue = queue; setName("MyWorker:" + (instance++)); } @Override public void run() { while ( true ) { try { Runnable work = null; synchronized ( queue ) { while ( queue.isEmpty() ) queue.wait(); // Get the next work item off of the queue work = queue.remove(); } // Process the work item work.run(); } catch ( InterruptedException ie ) { break; // Terminate } } } private void doWork(Runnable work) { ... } }
The code that creates a pool of
MyWorker objects, which is essentially a
Thread pool, looks like this:
for ( int i = 0; i < THREAD_POOL_SIZE; i++ ) { // Create and start the worker thread, which will // immediately wait on the monitor (the queue in // this case) to be signaled to begin processing MyWorker worker = new MyWorker(queue); worker.start(); }
The code to place work on the queue and signal a worker thread looks like this:
synchronized ( queue ) { // Add work to the queue Runnable work = getMoreWork(); queue.add(work); // Notify the monitor object that all the threads // are waiting on. This will awaken just one to // begin processing work from the queue queue.notify(); }
This code illustrates how straightforward basic Java thread synchronization is, although it is low-level. In Part 2 of this series, we'll look at the java.util.concurrent package and how it contains built-in classes to make synchronized queue and task processing even simpler.
Happy Coding!

Who fixes furnaces?
If your furnace needs to be repaired, you'll want to find a qualified heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) repair technician. Each state has its own licensing requirements; some require all HVAC technicians to have an HVAC license, while others only require someone operating an HVAC service and installation company with employees to hold a contractor's license. For example, in Alabama, the Alabama Board of Heating Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Contractors regulates licensing, while in Kansas there is no state regulatory body and HVAC licensing can vary by region. For simple furnace repairs like changing out a filter, a trusted handyman can probably handle the job, but a trained professional should be hired for tasks like replacing a gas valve, installing a new inducer fan motor or other critical furnace repair jobs that involve dealing with gas leaks or other dangerous conditions. For more, check out our tips for smart hiring on Thumbtack.
How much will it cost me to replace my furnace?
The national average for furnace replacement is between $1,800 and $2,500. The cost can range dramatically higher depending on the model of furnace you select, any repair work you require, your location and the cost of installation. Furnace installation costs can be more than the furnace itself due to the cost of doing business and the expertise needed to install the HVAC equipment. Installing a new furnace generally requires technical know-how and the proper tools and licensing. It's best to hire a pro and budget for furnace installation rather than risk potentially unsafe DIY installation. This will ensure your home's safety. Check to see if your HVAC contractor has the proper licensing to do the job. If you need duct repair or replacement, expect to pay more for your furnace installation costs. The price for duct repair could be an hourly rate ranging on average anywhere from $85 to $150 per hour, with additional costs for parts.
What does a new furnace cost?
Heating typically constitutes 42 percent of a homeowner's utility bill, according to Energy.gov. If your heating bills are through the roof, it might be time to compare what you're spending on utility bills to the cost of a new furnace. A new furnace can cost between $1,000 and $2,700 for standard big-box forced-air furnaces, and more than $10,000 for advanced technology or high-end brands.
With a new furnace you could lower your total energy bill by 30 percent while also reducing your carbon footprint. To achieve these savings, Energy.gov recommends combining proper equipment maintenance, insulation, air sealing, strategic thermostat settings, and — of course — energy-efficient HVAC equipment. The furnace cost you're facing may seem large upfront, but should save you money in the long term with improved home heating at a lower cost. Furnace cost is dictated by brand, efficiency, technology and the British thermal units (BTUs) needed to heat your home. AFUE is another important acronym. It's short for annual fuel utilization efficiency, and it represents what percentage of the fuel becomes heat for the home. Energy.gov explains that an AFUE of 90 percent means 90 percent of the energy in the fuel is used to heat the home, and the other 10 percent escapes.
How much does it cost to have your furnace serviced?
When your furnace isn't regularly serviced it can operate less efficiently. This increases your energy bills and also prevents your furnace from keeping your home as warm as you like. Keep your furnace properly maintained with regular service. The national average furnace service cost is between $60 and $80. Companies may offer tuneup specials that cover all the necessary testing, tightening, measuring and cleaning to keep your equipment running at top efficiency. If you have a newer system, furnace service costs may be covered by your warranty. Outside of warranty, a basic tuneup might start at $58 and a more advanced maintenance cleaning could be over $120. Here are some signs your furnace may need service:
- The furnace has stopped functioning entirely.
- The temperature cannot be regulated.
- Rooms in the home are either too hot or too cold.
- The heated air coming from the furnace smells like gas.
- The thermostat isn't working.
- Strange noises are coming from the furnace.
How much will it cost me to replace my air conditioner?
If your AC system is in need of replacement, the national average air conditioner installation costs range from $2,930 to $3,670. Costs can vary greatly depending on whether you are replacing a wall or window unit or a central air system. A central air system is connected to ductwork that runs throughout your house and pumps cooled air into your various rooms via vents and registers. A central air conditioning system is far more costly than wall or window units. Selecting a central AC system that has a high seasonal energy-efficiency ratio (SEER) will likely lower both your carbon footprint and your utility bill. The type of AC system you select, where you live in the country, and the regional costs of HVAC work, duct removal and replacement, and ductwork repairs that are needed are some of the main factors that affect the cost of new air conditioner installation. Here are some examples of average costs for installing forced-air systems.
- Install Lennox 16 SEER single-stage AC unit: $5,743
- Removing and disposing of the old furnace, moving and reconnecting the water heater, and installing a 3.5-ton gas furnace. The job took 18 hours of labor.
- Installation of a new 14 SEER single-range cooling system: $4,000-$6,000
- Installation of a new 16 SEER two-range cooling system: $6,000-$8,000
- Installation of a new 20 SEER variable capacity cooling system: $8,000-$12,000

If you're like a lot of Internet users, you've got accounts and logins scattered all over the Web. You might try an online service to see what it's like and not return. Or, you may have used a product regularly, but moved on for something better.
The result is that a lot of Net services have plenty of abandoned accounts that tie up desirable user names.
Yahoo, one of the oldest big sites on the Web, has a lot of these dead logins, and this summer the company will do something about them. Starting in July, Yahoo will free up the IDs of users who have not signed in to any of its services for 12 months.
Then, Yahoo will let other people claim them.
From Yahoo's Exclamation blog:
So, how are we making these Yahoo! IDs available? We're freeing up IDs, that have been inactive for at least 12 months, by resetting them and giving them a fresh start. In mid July, anyone can have a shot at scoring the Yahoo! ID they want. In mid August, users who staked a claim on certain IDs can come to Yahoo! to discover which one they got.
There's no details yet on how inactive users will be notified that their user name is about to be given to someone else. Obviously, those who never log in to an Yahoo email account aren't going to learn about it that way . . .
Nor is Yahoo providing any specifics on how people can apply for available user names, or how applicants can be told which names are available.
However, there is one way to ensure you keep your Yahoo name, even if you don't intend to use it regularly. Just log in before July 15 to any Yahoo product – such as, say, the recently revamped Flickr – and you'll be good to go.
The Wall Street Journal's Digits blog points out that this approach is different from how Yahoo's biggest competitors handle inactive accounts:
Yahoo's new policy differs from approaches at some other large Web companies. Gmail and YouTube profile names aren't up for grabs after they become inactive, a Google spokeswoman said, for security reasons. A Microsoft spokeswoman said the company can delete users' account data if they go more than 270 days without signing in, though there are exceptions. She declined to say whether canceled account names go back into circulation.
Because Yahoo has been a staple of the Web since the mid-1990s, the number of inactive users on its site is going to be substantial. Do you have a Yahoo account you haven't touched in years? Will you log in to save it from another's clutches?

San Diego News Notes-San Diego, CA
SAN DIEGO PRO-LIFERS RECEIVED A HUGE MORALE BOOST from Father Giacomo Capoverdi, of Priests for Life. He visited the San Diego diocese from January 31 to February 6. Father Capoverdi, of the diocese of Providence, Rhode Island, is currently working full-time with Priests for Life at the organization's New York office. "My mission is to go out into the whole United States and preach about the evils of abortion," he explained. "I'm representing Christ, representing the Church, and representing Father [Frank] Pavone [the Priests for Life director].
"I came out here because I know that San Diego has a lot going on, in the way of pro-life work," Father Capoverdi said. The San Diego diocese contacted Priests for Life and urged them "to send someone out here because they felt like Priests for Life needed to have a presence here in this diocese." Joseph Horejs, the new administrative assistant in the diocesan Social Ministry Office, arranged his schedule here.
On February 1, Father Capoverdi assisted at morning Mass at Most Precious Blood Church in Chula Vista and afterward accompanied 16 parishioners on their Wednesday morning prayer vigil at the Clinica Medica abortion mill. "The doctor had just left, so there wasn't a lot of business," parish pro-life coordinator Shirley Henry reported. "Father Giacomo gave us a beautiful little homily after the rosary and words of encouragement and support. It was such an uplifting hour and a half that we felt really buoyed by the whole situation and we're very grateful."
On February 2, the Feast of the Presentation, he said morning Mass at Saint Rose of Lima in Chula Vista. In his homily, he portrayed the situation in the U.S. since abortion's legalization as being analogous to C.S. Lewis's mythical land of Narnia's seemingly perpetual winter without Christmas, caused by the evil white witch's spell. "Six men [on the Supreme Court] caused it to be winter time in the U.S. since 1973, and a spell was cast over our country since Roe v. Wade was considered constitutional.... As a result 46 million babies have died due to this sin. But the prophecy of Narnia was that the spell would be broken when sons and daughters of Adam and Eve came into Narnia. As they came in, the snow and ice started to melt.... That's what it's like in the pro-life movement right now."
Afterward he accompanied a group of about 10 parishioners to My Choice Women's Medical Clinic, another Chula Vista abortion mill, on their regular Thursday morning prayer vigil there. As the prayer vigil ended, he offered prayers for the conversion of the clinic staff and directly appealed to them to stop their involvement in abortion. Then he gave encouragement to the pro-lifers. As has been typical there during the last few months, no clinic personnel were seen outside nor was there any evidence of abortions occurring during the prayer vigil.
On Saturday morning, February 4, Father Capoverdi joined Catholics and Evangelicals who regularly pray and sidewalk counsel at the Family Planning Associates abortion mill in downtown San Diego, across from Balboa Park. Pro-lifer Sue Lopez reported that 37 people showed up, because "knowing that this priest was coming drew triple the number of Catholics who regularly come."
Lopez recalled Father Capoverdi's reaction to the shout of "Go Home!" yelled from a passing car. "He said, 'We Christians, we are home here. Jesus tells us in the Gospel to love our neighbor. He gives the example of the good Samaritan who rescued a man from death. That is what we are doing at the abortion clinic.' It was so uplifting and inspiring for all present to hear this young priest speak."
Speaking to a News Notes reporter, Father Capoverdi said he was inspired to become involved in Priests for Life by "the horrific nature of this sin in our country." He continued: "I felt God's calling say to me, 'I'm happy you're a priest because I called you to be a priest, but now I want you, for a while, to discern leaving the parish and working full-time to help babies that are unborn.' I feel like, if I can save one baby's life in this work, then I've accomplished what I wanted to do."
Having been born in 1965, technically Father Capoverdi is not a survivor of the post-1973 legalized abortion holocaust, but says he nonetheless feels like one. His mother was facing difficult circumstances during her pregnancy and was offered assistance in arranging and paying for an abortion, but she was horrified by the idea. Father Capoverdi said that now, the person who offered her the abortion "comes up to me and pinches my cheeks and says what a tremendous priest I am and ... she wants me to celebrate her funeral Mass ... and I think to myself as she says this, 'If my mother had followed your advice, I wouldn't be here.' And I wonder, 'How many future priests have we aborted?'"
Father Capoverdi discussed the reluctance of some priests to preach about life issues from the pulpit. "I think sometimes priests are afraid that if they say something that's going to offend somebody, it's going to bring their budgets down and it's going to bring participation in Mass down. I say to them what Christ said to Peter, when many of the disciples that were following Christ formerly no longer were because His teachings [about the Eucharist] were too hard for them to understand. Jesus didn't change His message to make it easier for them. He preached boldly and with authority. And so we follow in the footsteps of Christ. Our parishes may be smaller; our finances may be lessened; our lifestyles as priests may need to diminish a little if we're not getting enough money. But nothing should stop us from preaching the truth."
He added, "We have a message that is sensitive to women who have had an abortion ... about God's mercy. In my homily I always say to women who are post-abortive that often women who have had an abortion feel like they didn't have a choice.... They need to know that they can go to confession; they can receive God's mercy ... we're all in need of God's mercy, love and forgiveness. I tell men and women who are post-abortive about Rachel's Vineyard [ministry to women who've had abortions], which is under the umbrella of Priests for Life. They can go on a retreat and receive God's healing and forgiveness."

House Republicans on Thursday again took aim at one of their favorite targets, Attorney General Eric Holder, charging him with politicized decision-making on state voter ID laws and Operation Fast and Furious.
At an occasionally raucous House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tyler, said that under Holder, the Justice Department has been more considerate to terrorists than to members of Congress.
Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, committee chairman, cited what he said were numerous examples of the Justice Department flouting the law, including its refusal to defend the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act denying federal benefits to spouses in same-sex marriages.
"The American people should have confidence that the Department of Justice fairly enforces laws,'' Smith said. "That confidence is lacking today.''
A veteran of Capitol Hill confrontations with angry GOP lawmakers, Holder appeared to take it all in stride. He even reassured Democratic members such as Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Houston, who sought to intervene that "I'm not feeling hostile at all. I'm pretty calm. I'm OK.''
Holder's appearance before the committee was his fifth, three of them since January 2011 when Republicans took control of the House.
In addition, Holder has appeared six times before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer questions about Operation Fast and Furious, in which Phoenix-based ATF agents used watch-and-wait tactics on cartel-linked gun purchasers but then lost track of over 2,000 weapons that slipped into Mexico.
Two of those weapons were recovered in December 2010 in Southern Arizona at the murder site of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.
The oversight committee's chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., also is a House Judiciary Committee, and his questioning of Holder was by far the harshest.
"You're not a good witness,'' said Issa, who grilled Holder on the pace of the Justice Department's turning over Fast-and-Furious-related documents to Issa's investigators and wiretap applications suggesting senior DOJ officials knew early on of the operation's flawed tactics. "A good witness answers the question asked.''
Holder insisted department officials had responded to subpoenas and turned over 7,600 pages of documents, and that senior officials had read only summaries of wiretap applications, which did not mention "gunwalking'' observing weapons trafficking in order to catch cartel higher-ups.
Citing comments last week by Mexican Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan that Fast and Furious had "poisoned'' Mexicans' views of the U.S., Rep. Ted Poe, R-Humble, asked Holder: "What would America's reaction be if the roles were completely reversed, if our neighbors, Mexico or Canada, facilitated the smuggling of automatic weapons into our country?''
" Probably similar to what the ambassador has said,'' Holder said, although he asserted U.S. relations with Mexico remain solid.
Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Calif., criticized Holder for Justice Department objections to laws in Texas and other mostly Southern states that require voters to produce a photo ID in order to cast ballots. Holder has argued that such rules would deny the constitutional right to vote to those without such IDs.
To exercise his constitutional right to petition the department, Lungren said he would have to show a photo ID to get on a plane and then to enter the Justice Department headquarters here.
"It's a fundamental right to petition the government to redress my grievances,'' Lungren said. "Don't you think that is as important as, quote/unquote, the right to vote?''
Later, Jackson Lee attempted to turn Lungren's logic around, saying there are alternate means of traveling to Washington that don't require presentation of a photo ID.
"But if you were denied the right to vote, there is no alternative,'' she said. "There's no other way.''
Gohmert asked Holder why the department had not heeded his request for documents that had been provided to defendants in the Holyland Foundation case, in which five leaders of a Muslim charity were convicted in Dallas in 2008 of funneling millions of dollars to Hamas.
Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip adjacent to Israel, has been declared a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
" Why in the world would your department be more considerate of the terrorists than (members of) Congress, who can vote to just completely de-fund your department?'' Gohmert said. "It makes no sense.''
Holder said Gohmert would be entitled to any documents on the public record.

No Doubt's suit against Activision over "Band Hero" brings up issues for the vidgame publisher that could extend far beyond legal considerations.
The suit, filed Wednesday in L.A. Superior Court, is the second such high-profile scuffle for the company in two months. The question is whether such complications will make other artists less willing to license their images for games and game publishers such as Activision.
"I think it does hurt them," said Stephen Smith, a partner specializing in entertainment and videogame litigation with Greenberg Glusker. "I find it extraordinary that they would let this happen. No matter what the contract said, just from a business point of view, you would think you would want to keep a band like No Doubt happy.
"The music community is notoriously insular. If you get a bad name with a couple of well-respected artists, you're going to have trouble with all of them."
"Band Hero" is a new franchise for Activision but is a close cousin of the hit "Guitar Hero" line of games, which have earned more than $2 billion in their four-year history.
The controversy comes as sales of music genre titles are behind 2008's pace by 40%.
Activision is still dealing with the PR fallout from its use of Kurt Cobain in "Guitar Hero 5." Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, and former bandmates complained loudly about the ability to use the grunge icon's likeness in any song, including (somewhat ironically) No Doubt's "Ex Girlfriend."
To date, no lawsuit has been filed in that dispute.
If there is an upside to these disagreements, it's that the "Band Hero" name is in front of consumers as the holiday shopping period gets under way. The title might have been overshadowed by the plethora of other new music games on the market, including "The Beatles: Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero: Van Halen."
In a statement, the members of No Doubt said they agreed to lend their likenesses to the game solely for use with the band's own songs. However, once players "unlock" the characters, they can use avatars of Gwen Stefani and her bandmates for any song in the game.
The band members seek an injunction prohibiting the use of their likenesses in songs other than the three No Doubt tracks included in the game as well as undisclosed damages. Activision maintains the suit is without merit and said it believes the contract gives it the legal right to use the avatars as it has in the game.
Bands work hard to create a certain look and style – and it doesn't often translate well to other forms of music. It's particularly important to rap artists, whom Activision has been wooing recently with its "DJ Hero" franchise.
"Artists want consumers to think their style is cool," Smith said. "Activision makes it almost a parody. I'm surprised they would do that to their artist partners."
In contrast, rockers including the Who and the Beatles have been enthused about working with Viacom's Harmonix, makers of the rival "Rock Band" franchise. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey even agreed to perform a two-hour concert for guests of the developer at a videogame industry trade show in 2008.

Shimbles just came into the Burnaby SPCA last week, and by all accounts is a phenomenol dog. She's compact, sweet, and loving. When I met her she was polite, and full of wiggles. She kept on trying to get me to shake her paw.
She comes from a less than stellar past. She's only about 2 years old, but I guess that her old "owners" were done breeding her, or maybe they dumped her cause the recent home crop job they did got infected.
She hasn't been assessed yet, but so far seems to think that everything and everybody is just great. She has had limited testing with dogs so far, but she seems to love them so far.
I've had 3 people email me so far to say how exceptional she is so whoever adopts this girl is LUCKY
Shimbles- exceptional girl
Why buy from a breeder when there are plenty of homeless pups in shelters???
