Annual holiday show on ice scheduled
In December of 1996, a Space Coast tradition began with the debut performance of the Space Coast IcePlex Holiday Ice Show.
With the exception of a few experienced skating transplants from the north, all the skaters performing were enthusiastic beginners.
Sixteen years later, the annual event now features, not only beginning skaters, but also individual gold medal skaters and national and world medal winning "Theatre on Ice" teams, including skaters who appeared as tiny tots in the first event and now compete at the highest levels.
This year's show, "Home for the Holidays," features four performances: Friday Dec. 14 at 6 p.m., Saturday Dec. 15 at 5 p.m. and two performances on Sunday Dec. 16 at noon and 6 p.m.
Auditions for solo and cameo skating roles were held in early September, with rehearsals beginning in October.
Participants in the IcePlex Learn-to-Skate program also take part in creatively costumed group numbers.
Each year, the coaching staff and the costuming and set design crews combine to present an entertainment event that rivals any professionally staged ice show in the country.
In the cool air of the IcePlex and a cup of hot chocolate to stay warm, the IcePlex Christmas Show tradition is a wonderful way to be a part of the feeling of the season.
Because each performance is at sell-out capacity, the $12 per person tickets should be purchased in advance at the reception desk. Sorry, tickets are not available to purchase by phone or online.
The IcePlex is at 720 Roy Wall Blvd., Rockledge.
For more information, call (321) 504-7500 or visit www.spacecoasticeplex.com.

Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- The National Basketball Association and its players' union will resume talks today after two hours of meetings yesterday aimed at ending a three-month lockout.
"We spent some quality time discussing concepts," NBA Commissioner David Stern told reporters outside the hotel in Manhattan where the sides met. "Sometimes when you discuss concepts you want to go back and think about it."
Owners of the league's 30 teams and the union are negotiating how to split money from a league that had $4.3 billion in revenue last season. Stern says the teams collectively lost about $300 million. The NBA locked out its players when their labor contract expired July 1.
National Basketball Players Association President Derek Fisher refused to say whether any progress was made.
"We talked extensively in ideas and concepts," Fisher said outside the hotel. "These are things that, if we can get into the range of, get into the zone of, then we can maybe put a deal together."
The NBA on Sept. 23 postponed the start of training camps indefinitely and 43 preseason games through Oct. 15, increasing the likelihood that the regular season won't start as scheduled on Nov. 1.

Rather than let money problems interfere with your studies, the Student Funding Office administers a scheme designed to help lighten the finanicial burden some students may experience.
The Access to Learning Fund (ALF) is the most prominent of the financial support schemes administered by the Student Funding Office. ALF is a discretionary grant, funded by the government, to help students in financial difficulty whilst they are studying at university. ALF grants do not need to be paid back and can range from £100 to £3,500. This fund is intended to assist with general living and course-related costs, not tuition fees or 'lifestyle choices'.
ALF is only open to UK students who have taken up all statutory support available to them or, in the case of postgraduate students, are able to demonstrate that they have made adequate realistic provision for their studies before embarking on their course.
You can only apply for ALF support once you have arrived at the University and are registered as a student. All applications are means-tested, therefore some applications will be unsuccessful.
Learn more about the Access to Learning Fund at the University of Birmingham.

Old media meets new at conventions
2008 saw the rise of social media as a driving force behind the Obama campaign, especially in organizing. This time around, it's become obvious that digital platforms have struck a chord with both Republicans and Democrats. "Organizers deny that they are competing against each other, but between press-release descriptions of strikingly similar digital strategies and clear competition on the same eight social platforms, it is obvious neither wants to be left behind," explained The Hill's Alicia Cohn and Julie Ershadi. The final day of the Democratic National Convention sparked more than 4 million tweets, roughly equal to the total number from the entire RNC, according to Twitter. "Social media is telling us a lot about the election," Frank Strong wrote on PBS MediaShift. But he questioned whether social media will be a game changer for the election the way that TV altered the debates between Kennedy and Nixon. "That much remains to be seen, but it is another viable source of data that provides indications, and the observations should be keenly considered in conjunction with traditional polling data and focus groups."
So how is the media adapting? It's been old media meets new at the political conventions, as broadcast networks turn to the Internet and newspapers shoot high-definition video. "So far, it seems, the new media has decided that it wants to be the old media, and the old media has decided that it wants to be the new media," wrote the New York Times' Jeremy Peters. At the GOP convention, the Washington Post used an interactive video tool to allow users to interact with videos of speeches; the New York Times and the AP had their own skyboxes, and offered live-streaming coverage of the event; and ABC and Yahoo partnered for a four-hour nightly live-stream with commentary. Meanwhile, online outlets are moving in the opposite direction, with The Huffington Post using its weekly iPad magazine for long-form content, and Politico turning to the Tampa Bay Times for print coverage. "No one seems quite sure where these experiments will end up," explained the Times' Peters. "Privately, they concede that their streaming web videos draw extremely low traffic compared with their articles."

text: Some say it's the best restaurant in the Sacramento area. Thanks to a high Zagat rating and positive reviews from food critics, Hawks Restaurant in Granite Bay has built a solid reputation, and to the delight of many fans and foodies in the area, they're now bringing a new restaurant to East Sacramento. The new location, tentatively called Hawks Provisions and Public House, will be on the corner of Stockton and Alhambra boulevards and will be opening anywhere from eight months to a year from now. The Sacramento restaurant will have a more casual ambience than the one in Granite Bay "We saw a shift with restaurateurs," said co-owner Molly Hawks "Instead of opening these massive restaurants, they were opening places that were more neighborhood oriented… that's the direction we wanted to go," The Provisions restaurant will be more lunch oriented than the Granite Bay location. While the menu is still in development, Hawks said the popular Hawks Burger and the slow roasted short ribs will most likely make their way to the new establishment. For now, the staff is working on finishing the kitchen, which will most likely be based around a wood fire rotisserie. The Hawks team is working on a new concept, a grab-and-go menu to be served for breakfast. For those close-by, Hawks could be a new morning stop for "crafted […]Continue reading

The mayor's pay: Past time for a raise in Manchester
That is why charter commissioners were right last week to approve a motion to raise the mayor's pay substantially. The current salary is $68,000 a year. Veteran teachers and police officers can make more than that. The commission approved a proposal to set the salary at $107,937, an increase of almost 59 percent.
That is a huge jump, and such a big move would be better made in smaller increments. But the ending place is roughly appropriate. The mayor of the state's largest city need not be paid as much as a hospital CEO, but the pay needs to be enough to land top executive talent from the private sector. A salary in the $100,000 range would do that.
Mayor Ted Gatsas is independently wealthy (by his own hand), so the pay is not an issue for him. It would be for many others. Unlike serving in the Legislature or on a city board, being mayor is a full-time job. If the city wants executives of skill, talent and experience, it should offer a level of compensation that would not necessarily attract them, but that would not be a disincentive to them.
Public service is its own reward, to a point. People who could be making $200,000 a year in the private sector might sacrifice a few years of financial rewards to serve the people of the city. But requiring them to take a 66 percent pay cut makes it much less likely that they will.
Though we are not sold on the charter commission's method for this pay increase, a significant raise is needed, and they are right to propose one.

One Killed in a Single Vehicle DUI Collision
Date of News Release: 03/29/2010
(Campbellsburg, Ky.) -- Troopers from KSP Post 5 responded to a fatal collision at 10:48 p.m. on March 28, 2010 in Henry County. Through investigation, it was determined that a 2002 Ford Explorer operated by Esteban Valasquez, of Carrollton, was traveling South on I-71 near the 34 mile-marker when the operator lost control and impacted a pillar supporting an overpass.

- Leaving the Scene of an Accident/Failure to Render Aide
- Operating a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence Aggravated Circumstances, 2nd Degree
- Driving on a DUI Suspended License
- Manslaughter, 2nd Degree

The Difference Between "Need Money" and "Seed Money"
- Friday, September 08, 2006
For anyone serious about getting his or here money under control there are a few basics. Frequently when I arrive at a church to present the No Debt, No Sweat! Christian Money Management Seminar I run into people who have given up hope. They're convinced that their money troubles are so deep and so unique—no one can help them.
While this isn't true, if you hope to control your money, a good starting point is to know the difference between "need money" and "seed money." The first dollars we all deal with is our "need money." This is the money we "need" to live and function on each month. These are primarily the dollars that make up the regular budget items. This includes the dollars we spend on housing, giving, clothing, food, recreation, transportation, debt service, insurance, etc.
The second category is our "seed money." These are the dollars we save and invest for the future. It is the "seed" we plant anticipating growth and future abundance. This is the money in our Murphy Account (don't worry, I'll explain this a little later), retirement accounts, college savings, etc.
I want to give you some ideas on how to plan and prioritize your "seed money." These are only ideas for your consideration—thought sparklers if you will. My hope is to inspire you and help you catch a vision. I'm not suggesting that any given idea is going to be right for everyone. Feel free to read and ponder these concepts. Then accept, modify, or reject them as you see fit.
When it comes to allocating our "seed money," a planned attack is vital. I like to refer to my "seed money" plan as the Wolf Barrier. I get that name from the expression that was so prevalent with the depression era generation about "keeping the wolf from the door." I like to think of building a wall (the barrier) to keep the wolf from the door. The barrier I use is based on a 10-step hierarchy with the ground level block being the starting point. Gradually, by stacking one block on top of another as we build the barrier, we go from those "seed money" expenditures that are vital, to those that are more discretionary. The progression that works for me may work for you, too. As you review the way I prioritize my list, decide if it makes sense to you. Would you do well with the same priorities? What would you change or modify? Would a different progression work better for you?
Reviewing the Ten Stones of the Wolf Barrier
Let's spend a few minutes discussing each of the ten stones that make up the Wolf Barrier:
Stone #1) Crisis Cash. I hope this first step isn't necessary in your case. But, there are a lot of folks who literally don't have two nickels to rub together. They are living so close to the edge that tomorrow's lunch money isn't even certain. They don't have enough cash to get a tetanus shot at the public clinic for one of the kids. This is a horribly stressful way to live. For peace of mind and a sense of personal dignity, every family should have a little "crisis cash" handy. I suggest at least $200 to $300.
Stone #2) The Murphy Fund. We've all heard people joke about Murphy's Law. It's the famous adage that says, "If something can go wrong—it will go wrong." Over the years I have become convinced that Murphy's Law must have been written with financial issues in mind. I know of no other sphere where this little proverb is more appropriate. Just about the time you have all the bills paid—BOOM!!! That's when the washing machine floods the floor. Or, the transmission gives up the ghost. Or, one of the kids breaks an arm. Suddenly you're hit with an unexpected emergency that is going to cost you money. And, there you are smack in the middle of a budget-busting mess! Now, you have essentially three choices: Leave the problem unfixed, borrow money (usually on high interest credit cards), or dip into your Murphy Fund.

Tomorrow morning at 7:30 am, we will be able to see land! Today, we did an early morning yoga class, lounged and sunbathed by the pool, ate lunch at the Mexican Cantina, did a stretch and relax class, ate a relaxing formal dinner and watched a show in the theater.

Made it to Cagliari, Sardinia!

We are catching our first flight tomorrow morning at 7:40am (so 2:40am at home) and will land in Halifax very late tomorrow night. Keep your fingers crossed for us that our luggage won't be overweight!! Luckily they have a scale in the lobby of our hotel, so we can check ahead of time.
Wish us luck on smooth travels and I'll see everyone when I get home :)
I'm on Island Time
... had to shower and get ready for dinner but we had gotten ready by about 5:30 which is about 2 hours too early to grab dinner. We settled for frozen blended Margaritas at a bar in Piazza Yenne and then went in search of this Tex-Mex restaurant we had seen an advertisement for. This is not the most culturally correct meal that we could have chosen on the island but after 3 months without mexican food I was not going to miss the opportunity to get it! We had guacamole and ...

Today we arrived in Cagliari, Sardinia. We had imagined Sardinia to be pretty picturesque... In short, it's not or at least not in Cagliari. Basically Cagliari is a port with a town attached, it's dirty and ran down but not in a charming rustic way. The weather was very windy and warm but cloudy which is better than it has been lately! First stop was finding the l fenicotteri (aka the ...
It's a Long Way to Cagliari
... off the shrimp. After lunch, walked down 125 curved marble steps of the bastion back down to Cagliari where I did a little shopping for the Canasta ornament exchange. It's our last night in Italy. Always look forward to going home, but this time not looking forward to facing a sheet of ice. It was 61 degrees and sunny today. Hope we make it to DFW on time and not get stuck on a runway somewhere for several hours. Stay tuned and here's wishing us travel ...

St. Louis – Braves closer Billy Wagner hadn't pitched in a week, and said even veterans have a hard time staying sharp with that much time off.
"Oh, hell yes," he said before Tuesday night's game against the Cardinals. "It'll be no fun when I come in the game, and I'm sure it won't be any room for error. It should be about a one-run game with [Albert] Pujols coming up."
He wasn't complaining. He knows the situation comes with the territory for a closer whose team is struggling.
The Braves had a six-game losing streak before Tuesday, the last four losses coming on the current trip – three at New York over the weekend, and a 4-3 defeat in Monday's series opener at St. Louis.
"Especially on the road it's hard" to get regular work for the closer, said Wagner, 38. "Because you can't work him into a game like last night, into a tie game. I mean, that could be a situation where you come in, throw an inning, you don't take the lead…."
But there's only so long the closer or any other reliever can sit.
"There will be a time where Bobby [Cox] is going to have to throw me out there for more than an inning," he said, "because I'm going to have to get some innings. I can't keep doing this, because you get rusty, you're not sharp. And the way we're going, every time I step out there is going to be a have-to-win, so you can't afford to [be rusty]. I've thrown bullpens and stayed as sharp as I can, but it's tough."
Then he smiled and said, "But that's why we get paid the big bucks."
Before Tuesday, the last time Wagner pitched was the Braves' last win April 20 against Philadelphia, when he worked a perfect 10th inning to close it out.
That was third consecutive hitless, scoreless appearance for the left-hander, who's 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in six appearances this season, with three hits, two walks and 11 strikeouts in six innings.
He has converted one of two save opportunities, and both runs against him this season (as well as two of three hits he's allowed) came in his April 9 blown save at San Francisco.
In Monday's game, Wagner watched as pals Peter Moylan and Takashi Saito had a rough night, Moylan allowing the tying run on a two-out double in the seventh and Saito taking the loss after giving up a run in the eighth on two doubles and an intentional walk.
"When you run out there as much as a reliever does, you're going to have some games where, no matter whether you're throwing well or you're not throwing well, things aren't going to go your way," Wagner said.
"You feel bad about it. You want to work on stuff, but you've got to be careful, too, because if you go out there and throw a lot of bullpens [side sessions] and try to correct yourself, you've got to pitch that night. So it's one of those things where you can wear yourself down by trying to do too much to mentally get yourself back.
"Sometime you've just go to step away and say, 'You know what? I'm fine. I made a mistake, and I've just got to get out there more.' They're going to be fine. They're the least of the worries."

to reverse their luck, maybe the braves should let wags start, have saito pitch the second, use moylan to get the first couple outs in the third, then let kk finish the last six-and-a-third.

Nothing is going right for the Braves these days. This will be another way to lose – Wagner is rusty and gives up a run in the 9th. Hopefully the rest will pay off in the long run.

This losing streak goes to 10

This might sound dumb, but I always secretly thought a NL team should do something like this when they are on the road:
Bobby Cox inserts Jurjens as the SP for tonights game and bats 9th (or better yet, 8th). Braves bat in top of 1st. The Braves get a bunch of hits/walks and they bat thru the lineup. When Jurjens is due up, he is pinch hit for Conrad or Infante. Then, when it goes to the bottom of the 1st, Bobby then has D.Lowe go to the mound and pitch as that was planned all along. Everything is the same as it would have except that the pitcher didn't need to bat.
Of course, right when I say this, Lowe gets a hit.
If they don't make it to that position in the top of the 1st (like they do these days), then no big deal, do a switch and send D.Lowe to the mound to pitch in the bottom of the 1st and take over batting 8th or 9th.

After going hitless over the first 17 games, Braves pitchers Hanson, Hudson and Lowe) have a 3-game "hitting streak". (

Milky has hits in his last 5 games and 1 for 2 tonight with run, rbi…maybe he's adjusting to NL.
April 27th, 2010
9:11 pm
Dave, such is the problem with the new age one inning closer who only pitches with a lead. In old time baseball, up until the 70s and 80s, you would see closers come in during tie games, and for two or three innings. I was at a game once in New York where Bruce Sutter pitched three innings for a save, while he was a Brave.
Hopefully the Braves will win, tonight, so Wagner can get some work, but Bobby really needs to put him in a game, regardless of situation, or he will be rusty, when we may need him for a sav,e when the game is on the line

About your comment: that's a good idea if you're playing on a videogame. In real life, why would you risk wasting a position player in the first inning? That "strategy" would only pay dividends if you instead of using a position player use a good hitting pitcher like Zambrano, Owings, Hampton, etc.

11:27 pm
The pain continues 7 losses and counting… Please let April be gone! I want to stay positive but the Braves are the new Nationals. Maybe the silver lining is that 2010 bad season will equal to empty seats and Liberty sells the Braves to somebody who really care.

first….haha……wow, this team is flat out awful..as bad as the 08 team. I think they
are already out of it. They've lost 7 straight and were no hit last week. I think the organization
needs a face lift. Fire Wren and hire a competent GM, and hire a younger manager next season..face it folks, this season is already a wash..i'm glad i didnt't buy any tickets to see them play…

I have also started work on Drizzle support this week. The Drizzle support is not entirely complete mostly down to Drizzle's handling of SHOW TABLE STATUS and I expect to have it fully working next week.
Here is the list of changes since 0.2.1:
- Consistent snapshots for non-InnoDB (non-transactional) tables
- Fix --binlogs breaking consistent snapshots
- (very) Minor performance improvement to mydumper
- Initial support for Drizzle
- Add --verbose option
- Fix multiple ';' at end of file
- Fix myloader not closing files
- Improve myloader error messages
- Several fixes to documentation building
- Make myloader tell mysqld to not binlog imports by default (new option --enable-binlog to log them)
- Add --database to myloader for single database import to a different database
- Change mydumper's --schemas to --no-schemas (--schemas is now default)
- Add verbose messages (with --verbose=3)
- Fix memory leaks in myloader
You can download mydumper 0.2.2 from Launchpad or by clicking here.
Many thanks to everyone who has been testing mydumper and giving feedback. Your comments and suggestions go a long way to improving mydumper.

14 sts + 19 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.

Another vigil will be held at 6 p.m. Sunday at Heritage Community Church (HCC) in Severn for Deckman, according to the church's website.
"HCC Family, be sure of this truth; Jesus said that in this world we will have trouble, and losing a child is at the very top of the trouble list," wrote the Rev. Steve Hall, lead pastor at HCC. "However, we do not live as those who have no hope, for Jesus continued his commentary on trouble by affirming that we need not fear this world's trouble for he has overcome the world."

If you don't have a mortar and pestle to grind the garlic paste, you can always use a small heavy bowl and the back of a wooden spoon. A food processor works, too; be sure to scrape the sides down halfway through processing, and process again to achieve a smooth paste. If you can't find piquillo peppers, you can substitute roasted red peppers. Steam the asparagus and combine the ingredients for the dressing a day ahead; store them separately in the refrigerator.
Place 1 tablespoon parsley, shallots, salt, and garlic in a mortar or small bowl; grind with a pestle until mixture forms a smooth paste. Stir in piquillo peppers and tomato. Add vinegar, oil, mustard, and black pepper; stir well to combine. Place asparagus in a shallow dish, and drizzle with pepper mixture. Gently toss asparagus and pepper mixture, using a serving fork and spoon. Place asparagus on a serving platter.
Cut egg in half lengthwise; remove and reserve the yolk for another use. Chop egg white. Sprinkle egg white, capers, and remaining tablespoon of parsley evenly over asparagus.

CuraDebt is a debt settlement firm that is both well established in the industry and well regarded by its customers. It earns our TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award for debt relief companies. It is somewhat difficult to nail down exactly how much CuraDebt costs, but once you get that information, you learn that this debt relief company's fees are actually on par with the best debt relief firms we reviewed.
CuraDebt offers both debt consolidation and debt settlement. That bodes well for the company. This broader perspective of your debt relief options can help you use your time and their talents wisely.
The company offers a free consultation, although they will ask for your entire life story, and guarantees the privacy of your information. You will be paired with a negotiator for your specific case who will keep in contact with you about the progress of your settlement.
This company will ask you for approval before accepting a settlement on your behalf. That is a good policy that is not common among all settlement firms. CuraDebt takes care of much of the unpleasantness of debt negotiations but lets you have the final word.
If you use the attorney-backed debt settlement program, you pay the company 15 percent of the total debt enrolled plus legal fees. If you use the performance-based debt settlement program, negotiators and arbitrators work out a settlement with creditors and charge you 40 percent of the savings that they accomplish.
As we mentioned earlier, CuraDebt is curiously ambiguous about how much its service costs. The company wanted all our personal financial information before it would tell us even how much it would cost to settle our debts. Knowing the price seems like a pretty basic question from the potential customer's standpoint. Financial information is very sensitive stuff. No one likes to talk about their salary and debts with people they know, let alone strangers. We eventually got the information on pricing, which was quoted to us at 15 percent of the savings produced by the settlement negotiated by CuraDebt.
CuraDebt has taken great strides in the past few years to make its service more internet friendly. The company has added online registration and online management of your account and services. We particularly like the free savings estimate widget found on the homepage.
The debt settlement industry as a whole has something of a bad reputation for being rife with scam artists looking to prey on people in financial difficulties. CuraDebt goes to great lengths to prove that it is not among the hoaxsters.
The company accomplishes this by listing its various affiliations with associations and watchdog organizations. Organizations to which CuraDebt belongs include The American Fair Credit Council (AFCC), The Association of Settlement Companies (TASC) and the International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators. All these organizations have good reputations and take membership very seriously. The fact that CuraDebt is a member of all three is an excellent sign.
The people we interacted with at CuraDebt were all courteous and knowledgeable. The company offers telephone support, live chat and email as modes of communication.
CuraDebt has climbed from the bottom rungs of our side-by-side comparison into award-winning territory. We like the improvements the company has made to its service over the years. While you should always proceed with caution with any debt settlement company, CuraDebt should be a pretty good firm to deal with.
CuraDebt is a member of several watchdog organizations that keep the industry honest.
It takes some digging to get information regarding exactly how much CuraDebt takes as the fee for its service.
The improvements CuraDebt has made over the past few years make the service really shine.

EXCLUSIVE: "A Soft, Fresh Look With A Subtle Edge," Backstage At Chanel Métiers D'Art
Temperatures reached a low of 30 degrees Fahrenheit last night at Scotland's Linlithgow Palace, where the Chanel faithful had gathered to watch Karl Lagerfeld's latest Métiers d'Art triumph. Brand ambassadors like Caroline Sieber and Poppy Delevingne braved the front row in towering fur hats to fight the chill at the castle's open-air hall, which left the French house's creative director of makeup, Peter Philips, in the precarious position of creating a look that could withstand the elements. "When applying makeup in rough weather conditions, it's important to use a good moisturizer and a bit more coverage in your foundation," he pointed out backstage, where he was busily sculpting "pure skin" with a "fresh, crisp glow" courtesy of Chanel's Vitalumière Éclat Compact or Mat Lumière Long Lasting Soft Matte Makeup SPF 15, depending on the girl. "I need to use [something] that can stand in this cold," he reiterated, adding a deliberate dose of its Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Rose Initial to create a wind-swept flush that, quite frankly, needed little coaxing by way of cosmetics.
But the evening's beauty focus was on both the skin and the eyes, Philips emphasized. "It's a soft, fresh look with a subtle edge," he said, explaining that Lagerfeld wanted a little something extra on lids that would complement Sam McKnight's elaborate range of braided and back-combed updos, equipped with pieces of Chanel Fine Jewelry, without the whole thing becoming "too costume." Building a base of soft shading and highlighting with Chanel's forthcoming Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eyeshadow in Raffinement, Philips added a "touch of edginess" with precise strokes of its Stylo Yeux Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner in Noir Intense under the lower lash line and at the upper corners, tracing the inner rims with its Le Crayon Khôl Intense Eyeliner in Clair as he went. "It's between a dancer's makeup and a punk look," he surmised, skipping mascara and brushing on a thin coat of Chanel Glossimer in Plaisir, an innocent pink, on the lips to "keep a fragility." The punk bit was repurposed on nails that were painted a shimmering shade of dark blue/violet with Chanel Le Vernis in Taboo, which will make its debut next year. If you can't wait to slick on two coats while layering your best tartans and tweeds, you're not alone.

With Natural Gas Fields in the Eastern Mediterranean, Israel Now Has a New Front: the Sea
As new fields come online, Israel is beefing up its naval assets to fend off threats from Turkey, Lebanon, and Russia
Israel is beginning to realize the benefits of the recent discovery of 36 trillion cubic feet of gas off its coast in the eastern Mediterranean, mainly in the Tamar and Leviathan gas fields, located near Haifa. But the discovery has also presented Israel with one of its greatest military challenges yet: protecting its new offshore gas infrastructure in the eastern Mediterranean, which is vital to its energy, and therefore to its economic, security. Competing claims to the lucrative natural gas fields—claims made by Israel's erstwhile ally Turkey as well as its cold-peace neighbor Lebanon—have precipitated a build-up of naval forces in the Levant basin from a number of state actors wanting to get in on the action, including Russia, just as the drawdown of American naval assets in the area has created a regional power vacuum. Meanwhile the wells, and the increased Israeli naval presence protecting them, offer new targets at sea to Israel's longstanding non-state enemies Hezbollah and Hamas.
This cutthroat environment has forced Israel, traditionally not a maritime nation, to focus an increasing number of resources on its navy. The country is now in the process of creating the most technologically advanced fleet in the eastern Mediterranean. Recently Israel has sought to increase the capabilities of its fast patrol vessels, the Shaldag and Super Davora Mark III, of which another three larger variants are already on order from Israel Aerospace Industries. In addition to these smaller purchases, Israel has been upgrading its Sa'ar 4.5 missile boats and Sa'ar 5 corvettes with new radars, electronic warfare systems, and anti-aircraft and anti-missile missiles. These surface assets are being joined by two new Dolphin-class submarines, the most advanced in the Mediterranean, with a third on order. Israel Shipyards has designed a new Sa'ar S-72, an 800 ton vessel intended to replace the Sa'ar 4.5 while providing many of the capabilities of the Sa'ar 5. Finally, Israel appears to be closing in on a deal for two F124 Sachsen-class frigates, the largest and most capable ships in the German navy.
Israel's goal is not just to be energy-independent, but to become a major energy exporter. Its ultimate objective is to transport the bulk of its gas to Europe, but it aims to sell locally to the Palestinians, and to Jordan—a diversification strategy inspired, in part, by its long experience with disruptions to gas pipelines in the Sinai. Israel is also offering its technological expertise and has partnered with Cyprus and Greece to assist the development of Cyprus' Aphrodite gas field.
The recent good fortune of Israel, and to a lesser extent of Cyprus and Greece, has caused much chagrin in neighboring capitals, particularly in Ankara. As the neo-Ottoman dreams of Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan collapse from both internal strife and the repudiation of his Islamist ideology abroad, he has increasingly moved toward relying on hard power to shore up his domestic base and maintain regional influence. As allies like Egypt disappear, Turkey has embarked on one multibillion dollar defense program after another. Turkey refurbished its Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates, launched two Ada-class corvettes, and is building another three, commissioned six Kilic II-class missile boats, and is working on multiple missile systems. Its strongest projection of naval strength came in a December 2013 decision to purchase an enormous 27,500 ton landing dock vessel capable of holding multiple tanks, helicopters, and more than a thousand troops—perhaps an ominous indication of its intentions in the eastern Mediterranean.
Turkey has, meanwhile, gone to great lengths to quench its thirst for energy, perhaps best epitomized by its sanction-busting purchases of Iranian gas—purchases made in gold. An energy importer with a huge account-deficit related to mismanagement in the natural-gas sector, Turkey was previously slated to be a recipient of Israel's new gas finds and the host of the pipeline essential to European exports. However, Turkey's foundering relationship with Israel and its longstanding territorial dispute with Cyprus over what Turkey, and only Turkey, calls the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus—land Turkey acquired by force from Cyprus in 1974—has turned the potential for collaboration and mutual advantage into a source of antagonism and possible armed conflict.
Turkey believes it has the right to collect export revenue from gas found off the Cypriot coast. To this end, it has engaged in aggressive military maneuvers to ward off international gas and oil investors wanting to explore Aphrodite. These acts, in combination with bellicose threats from Erdogan and the array of armament programs, have sent a clear message to the Israeli-Greek-Cypriot axis that war may be coming. This message has not gone unnoticed. Turkey's threats and actions have pushed Israel, Cyprus, and Greece closer together, the end result being Israeli-Greek military cooperation, which has already manifested in multiple joint air and sea exercises in the past three years under the names Noble Dina and Blue Flag.
Meanwhile, Israel is engaged in a dispute with Lebanon over Jerusalem's claim to an off-shore Exclusive Economic Zone, known as an EEZ, covering the Tamar and Leviathan fields. With U.S. mediation efforts at a standstill and Lebanon's economy sinking into the abyss, Lebanon is poised to begin offering exploration licenses to firms that would be encroaching on what Israel claims is its territory. These two states are still in a de jure state of war, and a recent border clash left one Israeli soldier dead. If these licenses are granted and there is a breach of Israel's EEZ, Israel could very well deem it a casus belli worthy of a military response. While the assets of the Lebanese Armed Forces are vastly inferior to those of the Israel Defense Forces, the December 2013 pledge by Saudi Arabia to provide $3 billion to upgrade the LAF's capabilities—widely seen as an effort by the Saudis to counter the power of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia—could tip this balance of power, rendering the possibility of a large-scale confrontation more likely in the future.
With or without the cooperation or consent of the LAF, Hezbollah could seek to disrupt Israel's off-shore venture by targeting rigs and Israeli naval patrols. Hezbollah is already in possession of Chinese C-802 anti-ship missiles and is believed to have been given Russian Yakhont missiles by Syria. These massive missiles, powered by ramjet engines and capable of reaching supersonic speeds and hitting targets up to 180 miles from shore, are a potential risk to all Israeli and Cypriot assets. Hezbollah has engaged Israel's navy in the past with success: During the Second Lebanon War in July 2006, Hezbollah fired a missile at the INS Hanit corvette, killing four sailors and causing extensive damage. Another missile sank a nearby cargo freighter. Hezbollah's waning support in Lebanon due to blowback from its role in Syria could push the organization to reclaim its populist role as the only resistance force capable of defending Lebanon from Israeli aggression. Fighting for Lebanese rights in the eastern Mediterranean could provide the pretext needed for Hezbollah to reestablish its credibility and raison d'être in the eyes of the Lebanese masses.
With a growing amount of increasingly sophisticated and lethal weaponry proliferating throughout the eastern Mediterranean, a conflagration, triggered intentionally or by a tragic miscalculation, seems almost inevitable. With Hezbollah bogged down indefinitely in Syria and with a second front emerging inside its southern Lebanese stronghold, Turkey gives the greatest cause for concern. On more than one occasion Erdogan has sought conflict with his neighbors. In 2010, he allowed the Mavi Marmara to sail from Istanbul, prompting a raid at sea by Israeli commandos that resulted in the deaths of nine Turkish civilians. More recently, Erdogan has welcomed Sunni jihadists trying to oust Syria's embattled President Bashar al-Assad, while also provoking Assad forces into downing a Turkish observation plane in 2012, a deeply embarrassing moment for Turkey.

European corporate bond market integration: lessons from EMU
AbstractAbstract: The scope of this article is to point out the features of European corporate bond market, in particular its development since the euro introduction. We structured our paper on chapters that present its economic importance, the implications of the common currency in respect to its growth and the level of integration in the present context. This market, including the debt securities issued by non-financial corporations, non-monetary financial corporations and monetary financial institutions, is economically important, as it contributes to the allocation of funds to their most profitable uses. Its rapid growth since the introduction of the euro can be explained by developments in economic activity, the costs of issuance and mergers &acquisitions-related activity. The adoption of the common currency had a direct and permanent effect on debt securities issued by non-monetary financial corporations. However, the use of corporate bonds at the euro area level is not uniform across countries. Country-specific factors continue to matter, despite the fact that financial markets are gradually becoming more integrated.
