Iron Mike Productions teams w/ Boxing's famed Gleason's Gym - Quotes / Photos
Iron Mike Productions teams w/ Boxing's famed Gleason's Gym - Quotes / Photos
By Special Report on Doghouse Boxing (March 21, 2014)
Follow @DoghouseBoxing
(L-R) - Assistant trainer Martine Gonzalez, unbeaten light heavyweight Lenin Castillo, Iron Mike Productions CEO Garry Jonas and trainer Don Saxby.
Tweets by @DoghouseBoxing
BROOKLYN, NY (March 21, 2014) - Iron Mike Productions (IMP) and Gleason's Gym are joining forces in efforts to revitalize the New York boxing scene. The world famous gym - located on 77 Front Street in Brooklyn, NY - that once housed a young man who would go on to become the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history will now serve as headquarters for IMP to recruit local amateur fighters aspiring to enter the pro ranks.
IMP plans to officially open its office doors at its new location in April.
"The combination of Gleason's Gym and Mike Tyson is sure to make an impact in the boxing community," stated Bruce Silverglade, owner of Gleason's Gym, the oldest boxing gym in the United States. "The Recruitment Center will be a magnet for top prospects from around the world."
The launching will come right before the semifinal and final rounds of the 2014 Daily News Golden Gloves, an annual amateur boxing tournament. The finals will take place April 16-17 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It's a given that Tyson and his team will be paying close attention to the results.
"The opening of this recruitment center could not have come at a better time," noted Jose Nuñez, a local boxing manager whose clients include reigning 130-pound world titlist Argenis Mendez, former two-time world champion Joan Guzman and a slew of rising young fighters. "This collaboration will not only help bring local fighters to the gym, but make them step up their game. We're looking for the best fighters of the area to represent our brand in the pro ranks. When fighters come to Gleason's, they'll know they have to bring their best every time they're ready to train."

Nuñez Management will serve as an integral part of the recruiting process for IMP, given the manager's local roots.
The location hits home for Tyson, one of 133 champions (male and female) from past and present to have at one point trained at Gleason's Gym. Tyson was born and raised in Brooklyn before being taken in by Cus D'Amato at age 16, with boxing serving as his lone salvation amidst a childhood littered with petty crimes, frequent arrests and time spent in reform school.
Now comes the Hall of Famer's chance to once again give back.
"Iron Mike Productions is very excited about establishing our presence in the New York boxing community by partnering up with Gleason's Gym," said Azim Spicer, Vice President of Iron Mike Productions. "It's a great opportunity to monitor and assist boxers to strive for their goals in the amateur and professional ranks."
About Iron Mike Productions (IMP): Founded in 2013 by CEO Garry Jonas and Hall of Famer Mike Tyson, Iron Mike Productions is a full-service boxing promotional company with offices located in Deerfield Beach, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada. IMP is committed to changing traditional boxing promotion by advocating for its fighters' successes, inside the ring and out, throughout their professional careers and into retirement.
About Gleason's Gym: One of the sport's grandest institutions and among the last of New York City's thriving boxing gyms, Gleason's Gym is owned and operated by Bruce Silverglade. Gleason's has served as training headquarters for some of the sports biggest legends, including Muhammad Ali, Roberto Duran and Jake LaMotta. All told, more than 130 World Champions have trained inside the hallow walls of the Brooklyn landmark.
About Nuñez Management: Jose Nuñez has been involved in the sport since the late 1990's before forming and serving as CEO of Nuñez Management in 2006. The New York-based manager, whose company also manages several notable music acts, has guided four fighters to world championships to date, including reigning 130 pound world champion Argenis Mendez and former two-division world champion Joan Guzman. Both fighters still serve under the managerial banner, along with a trio unbeaten prospects - junior welterweight Felix Diaz, who captured Olympic gold for the 2008 Dominican Republic boxing squad, light heavyweight Lenin Castillo, and junior middleweight Dominique Dolton - among several other rising prospects from the U.S. and Dominican Republic.

Xtra Math is a great website for practicing math facts - that is all it is, but it does keep up with your students progress and you can check on how they are doing. It will surprise you how quickly some children pick this skill up. It can also be done at home.

I am a 48 year old Pieces (those fish have been swimming in opposite directions for all of my life!). That really covers it, but should you want to know more:
I have a passion for stitching. Once I discovered that the quilt and stitch authorities did not bust down my door at 3 a.m., I became empowered to continue down the wayward path of un-snipped threads and atypical bindings. Early classes in traditional quilting and a penchant for wanting to create original work unlocked doors and addictions. Sharing anything from the ordinary to subversive lives and stylings of threads has become a calling. I have been teaching in the world of fibre arts for over 10 years.

Eating healthy can be harder than you think, thanks to an enterprising food industry that wants us to consume more than we need. That's because our country's agricultural system produces twice what most people require, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service. This encourages creative marketing to unload the excess, much of it with minimal nutritional value. As a nutrition consultant, [Katherine Tallmadge, R.D.], knows that words such as "low fat," "high fiber," "multigrain" and "natural" can fool even the most sophisticated customers into believing what they're buying is healthful. So what can you do? First, make a habit of reading the ingredients list, not just the Nutrition Facts panel. And remember the following products worth resisting.
Reduced-fat peanut butter
The oil is the healthiest part of a nut, containing most of the nutrients, so there's no advantage to taking it out. In fact, it's worse because it robs the peanut butter of its health benefits. "Reduced-fat peanut butter has as many calories and more sugar than the regular," says Bonnie Liebman, nutrition director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Enhanced water
Drinks such as Vitaminwater are essentially sugary drinks with a vitamin pill. They are "unequivocally harmful to health," says Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard's School of Public Health. "Whether vitamins dissolved in water have any benefit will depend on who you are and whether you are already getting enough. . . . Some people may be getting too much of some vitamins and minerals if they add vitamin water on top of fortified foods and other supplements." A recent Iowa Women's Health Study found an association between certain commonly used vitamin and mineral supplements and increased death rates.
Energy bars
The reputation of these bars, also known as meal replacement bars, is that they are healthy, aid in weight loss or help build muscle. In fact, they are calorie bombs: candy bars with vitamins, protein or fiber added. For most of them, sugar is either the first (predominant) or second ingredient.
Multigrain foods
Multigrain breads, crackers and cereals are often the most confusing foods. People see "multigrain" and think "whole grain." That's not necessarily so. This is an important distinction because people who eat whole grains have a lower incidence of diabetes, heart disease and cancers, and are less likely to be overweight compared with those who eat refined grains. Note that when "enriched wheat flour" is listed in the ingredients, that's refined flour.
Non-fried chips and crackers
It's easy to believe these foods are healthful because of labels such as "baked," "low fat" or "gluten free." But most are made with refined grain or starch, which provide plenty of calories and few nutrients. Popchips, for example, are a new product marketed as healthful. But the ingredients are highly refined potato flakes, starch, oil, salt and about 14 additional things. Pita chips, made with white flour, oil, salt and several more ingredients, are no better. To boot, research shows that too much refined grains and starches increases the risk for heart disease, cancers, diabetes and weight gain.

Responding to the murders of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other American diplomats on the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich asserted:
No American should be confused about the fact that these attacks were directed by enemies who hate us and who are determined to defeat us. It is a tragedy that so many of our elites refuse to acknowledge this fundamental reality.
In his signature manner, Gingrich clearly articulated the emotions of many Americans who are weary of an administration whose foreign policy seems based primarily in fear of conflict and political correctness. In his Newt Gingrich Letter, the former Speaker said, "The American people are angry at those who kill our diplomats, attack our embassies, burn our flag, and demand we censor ourselves to avoid offending them."
Gingrich referred to the attacks as a coordinated effort to "humiliate" the United States. According to Byron York of the Washington Examiner, Gingrich said, "If there are simultaneous outrages in both Egypt and Libya on 9/11, it was a deliberate, planned insult to the United States. No one in the country should be confused about the coordination, the viciousness, and the determination to humiliate the U.S."
The former presidential candidate further charged that the apologies to the "fanatics" from the Obama embassy in Cairo are "insulting beyond belief." Gingrich asserted that those who apologized "should be fired tomorrow summarily" and that "Congress should pass resolutions condemning the State Department statements and calling on the president to stand up for America."
This concept of "senseless violence" is at the heart of the left's refusal to confront the reality of radical Islamists. These are not acts of senseless violence. These are acts of war.

At a previous company that I worked for, one of my colleagues, Paul Czywczynski referred to Entity Framework as "Database Crack". I can see where he was coming from. There is no substitute for a database developer who knows how to write a Common Table Expression. These days however, to be a well-rounded back-end developer, you're a step ahead of the rest if you can write your own SQL code. Entity Framework is great for getting up and going quickly. The dynamic query generation is much better today than it was just a few years ago. Code-First has come a long way, especially with the introduction of Database Migrations.
The Task Parallel Library (TPL) is good. Async is great. Await is even better.
Recently, the EF team has brought asynchronous operations to the EF API. You now see extension methods for everything that executes a query; FirstOrDefaultAsync, SingleAsync, ToListAsync, etc… AWESOME right?
Not so fast…
Check this out, directly from the EF 6 Codeplex site:
For the moment, EF will detect if the developer attempts to execute two async operations at one time and throw.
Basically what this is saying, is that you cannot access the result of an async operation until you have awaited the previous. Doesn't that effectively defeat the power and purpose of async operations in EF? I believe the problem at hand is that DbContext or ObjectContext is not thread safe. In other words, because EF manages change tracking behind the scenes, making it async is a no-no. If you change something on one thread, what happens to that object on the other thread? This is not a problem that I personally want to solve, but I hope that someone at Microsoft does. If they truly want to make the EF 6 API async, then they must tackle this as well.
These days, Microsoft is making their newer API's task based. My advice to anyone reading this, is that if you are developing against the Microsoft stack, it would greatly benefit you to brush up on your async skills.
I filed a "bug" on the CodePlex site last week regarding this. Technically, it wasn't a bug, but I wanted to see what they would say: CodePlex Entity Framework Work Item #1279

Cage floor detail
I was thinking about Stockholm Syndrome, and how it's a bit like loving teenagers. How in the face of constant abuse by your captors you none the less have feelings of affection and love. No doubt my children would quibble with just who is the captor in my scenario. What is a cage, and metaphorically, do we mostly create our own captivity? These cages have no door, they are part sanctuary, safety, and prison.

We've been organizing weekly visits to our Congressional delegation's Bangor offices since January. A group of between 5-20 constituents meet on Tuesday mornings at 11:45 outside the Margaret Chase Smith federal building on Harlow Street to coordinate messaging. Check our Facebook page each Monday for information about topics and any changes to timing.
We have a standing meeting with Senator Collins' staff and discuss one or two topics. Notes from our meetings are given to the Senator, and due to our persistence and rapport with staff, we were invited to have a private meeting with Senator Collins over the April break. In this meeting, 8 constituents presented issues to the Senator, and she replied to each. We also asked her to co-sponsor an important childcare bill that was introduced by Senator King, but his office was unable to gain her support. After listening to our Organizer's personal story related to childcare, Senator Collins looked more closely at the bill and agreed to co-sponsor!
After Collins' office, we visit Senator King's office. We have weekly meetings with his staff, one week met with his wife, and were also invited to a private meeting with Senator King in May.
Most weeks we also walk over to Representative Poliquin's office, which is in a different building. We have not (yet?) been granted a private meeting with Poliquin, but were able to obtain a meeting with him after another event in Brewer last month.
This week's meeting is on Healthcare! The Senate vote could be next week, though no one is sure because no one outside the commitee has seen the bill. Any constituent is welcomed and encouraged to join us for these meetings.

One Christmas I got a box of magnetized tiles with words on them as a gift. They were meant to go on the refrigerator to play with. I found them to be quite helpful in creating poetry. Below are a few of the ones I've written and saved over the years.
I happened to be reading them the other day and thought it would be fun to put them to pictures rather than music which is what I generally do with my poetry.
After the storm
let a
sun shadowed lake
produce an eternity
of still forest beauty
Chant wind and sky mist
at the garden
and sing delicate light
into true power
Dream as love in Spring visions
to soar over Summer heat
and recall the Fall whisper of music
beneath the beating of Winter's heart

How many times has this scene played out before? There you are enjoying yourself at the club, wearing your best suit, exuding an air of confidence and charisma, and generally feeling on top of the world when the inevitable happens- You are being referred to as the bald guy! Forget humiliation, the words that come to mind is utter disaster. All that grandiose feeling of suave self-esteem and handsomeness just went down the drain! And, if you had any plans of meeting a girl there, forget it! The whole scene resembles a train wreck!
Now, you might think that you are the only guy that feels this way in the entire world. Unfortunately, nothing could be more further away from the truth. Plenty of guys out there are, even at this moment, looking at hair products like alter ego shampoo for hair regrowth, to regain their lost locks and with it, their feeling of pride and self-confidence. The popular health website www.webmd.com reports that almost every guy will have to face the problem of male pattern baldness at some point in their lives or the other. But, this eventuality could be delayed, and in some cases even prevented, by following some very simple steps.
If you are seriously considering ways to prevent or reverse the effects of baldness, one of the main things you will have to do is to buy the products that are specifically designed to combat hair loss. A look at the various websites and online stores on the internet will show you a number of products being listed. The only way you will be able to make a choice from this apparently endless list, is by being aware of the various factors that must be considered before the actual purchase.
Which is best- Organic or Synthetic?
Now, this is the true dilemma. Hair products could either be chemical or natural. The choice is really up to you. But, if you are looking for a way to cut down on synthetic stuff, then it would be best to choose products that contain herbal ingredients, like extracts of coffee, or natural oils like tea tree oil, etc. in the long run, herbal products are much better than their chemical counterparts.
What are DHT-Blockers?
One of the main factors that triggers male pattern baldness is the releases of hormones called DHT. Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT for short, is one of the primary culprits for bringing about the condition we call baldness. And, it is found not only in men but in women as well. The irony here is that DHT is actually responsible for getting those first whiskers on your face. But, in later life, DHT has the ability to restrict the follicle's ability to grow hair on the scalp.
A good hair loss prevention product will contain active ingredients that have the property of blocking the release of DHT. If your original inclination is towards an herbal product, then DHT blockers will be found in products that contain saw palmetto, nettle extract, and caffeine. These are natural DHT blockers that delay the release of these hair-harming hormones.
Use these tips to find the best hair loss combatting product on the market.

I was browsing at Anime News Network today and in the Shelf Life column there was this comment and footnote:
So get them now while you can. Remember what happened to FLCL.
...word on the street is that Media Blaster is sinking fast. Now is the time to pick up Media Blaster's greatest hits before their titles fall into licensing limbo.²
² Genshiken, Moribito, Twelve Kingdoms, and Tweeny Witches might all be Shelf Worthy. OK, so Tweeny Witches might only be Rental Shelf, but it's by Studio 4°C, and I love them. If you like Strawberry Panic! or Otoboku they're from Media Blasters, too.

Asian tailed caecilians (sih-SILL-yuhns) are medium-sized to large caecilians that have a true tail. The mouth opens at the bottom of the head because the upper jaw is longer than the lower jaw. The jaw has a dual-action mechanism like a seesaw. The tentacle openings in Asian tailed caecilians are in front of the eyes, usually no more than halfway to the nostrils.
Caecilians look like earthworms. A series of rings runs the length of the body starting just behind the head. The rings are inside the body and attached to the vertebrae (VER-teh-bree), or the bones that make up the spinal column. Asian tailed caecilians have three rings per vertebra (VER-teh-bruh, the singular of vertebrae). Some species have as many as 420 rings. The skin is folded over the rings, making grooves between the rings. In Asian tailed caecilians the grooves go all the way around the body. The second and third sets of rings make shallower grooves than the main set. Asian tailed caecilians have a large number of scales under the skin in all the ring grooves.
Asian tailed caecilians are either solid purplish gray or purplish gray with paler stripes of the same color. Adult Asian tailed caecilians are 7 to 22 inches (18 to 56 centimeters) long from tip of snout to tip of tail.

As we know all too well, there are many kinds of balls in life.
Pool balls....
Ed Balls....
Currently the UK's Secretary of State for Children, School Dinners and Families.
And of course, pachinko balls....
Without pachinko balls, there would never have been any pachinko halls, as the pachinko machine would never have been invented.
Indeed, could THIS be Japan's oldest surviving pachinko machine, a contraption I recently found abandoned in an Osaka backstreet?
No, probably not.

ONE afternoon in February, Ahmass Fakahany, a financier by training, was contemplating the economics of forks.
Baguette forks, to be precise — two silver ones on a table at Osteria Morini, a redoubt of one of New York's pasta gods, the chef Michael White.
To the untrained eye, the forks looked identical. "The difference," Mr. Fakahany said, reaching for one, "is this one costs $4.50 less."
It's not what you might expect in this refuge of Emilia-Romagna, where the talk tends more toward lumache al verde and petroniana than to the price of flatware. But then, Mr. Fakahany isn't what you might expect here, either.
After a lucrative — and quite controversial — career at Merrill Lynch, Mr. Fakahany, 53, is bringing a Wall Street sensibility to a business that can make investment banking seem easy by comparison: running restaurants. And, so far, he's been very, very good at it.Continue reading the main story
In three years, he and Mr. White have a swiftly growing restaurant empire rivaling those of the celebrity chefs Mario Batali and Daniel Boulud. Mr. Fakahany and Mr. White now run acclaimed Manhattan restaurants like Marea, on Central Park South, and Ai Fiori, tucked away on the second floor of the luxurious Setai Fifth Avenue hotel. They have expanded to Hong Kong, and there is talk of Istanbul, too. This year, they hope to open at least five more restaurants, in locations as varied as the East Village of Manhattan and the Las Vegas Strip.
What is so remarkable about their success is that, in the restaurant game, failure is as common as kitchen burns. Nationwide, most new restaurants close within their first year — industry experts put the failure rate at anywhere from 60 to 80 percent.
How have these guys done it? It helps that Mr. White is widely considered to be one of New York's hottest chefs. But it also reflects what Mr. Fakahany, the money man in this operation, is doing outside the kitchen.
Consider those forks. By switching to the cheaper ones, Mr. Fakahany said, Osteria Morini, in SoHo, would save thousands of dollars.
But that's not all. He has hired back-office staff from places like Goldman Sachs and Bain Capital to help him watch expenses. Some general managers and sommeliers receive deferred cash bonuses, à la Wall Street, in order to reduce turnover. To hold down bills for cabs, black cars and couriers, Mr. Fakahany hired his former driver at Merrill Lynch to shuttle around most everything, from clients to crates of wine.
And, because he knows that a blowout on the expense account can irk corporate bean counters, he's willing to cut executives a bit of slack. In Wall Street fashion, he is sometimes willing to do a trade — his food and wine in exchange for something other than cash or credit. For instance, he recently turned a $4,500 dinner bill from a group of British Airways executives into nine plane tickets. He used those tickets to reward his staff at the Altamarea Group, the restaurant company that he and Mr. White run out of a SoHo loft.
Altamarea is growing so fast that some industry insiders even wonder whether it will turn out to be the Merrill Lynch of the city's restaurant scene — a company that, like Merrill, ends up overreaching, with disastrous results.
Mr. Fakahany says that's nonsense. Since 2008, he says, Altamarea's revenue has surged roughly 250 percent a year. In 2011, the company, which is privately held, had revenue of almost $50 million, up from just $3 million in 2008, he says. Marea, its flagship, generates $50,000 to $60,000 in revenue a day, and Ai Fiori isn't far behind. As for profit, Mr. Fakahany says the company has double-digit margins, but he wouldn't elaborate.
After starting with high-end restaurants, the company is adding more mid-range restaurants, like Nicoletta, a pizzeria in the East Village that is expected to open in May.
"I am believer in what we are doing," he says. "We are developing distinct brands where we can open multiple restaurants, lowering costs as we go."
IT'S been quite a journey for Mr. Fakahany, who saw the financial crisis up close at Merrill. He was a top deputy to E. Stanley O'Neal, who was in charge during the firm's disastrous push into mortgage investments.
"I have a lot of regrets, and there are things I wish we would have done," Mr. Fakahany says. "There are no heroes in the Merrill story."
Still, Mr. Fakahany did well for himself at Merrill, where his posts included chief financial officer and co-president. Last year, he won a $1.2 million arbitration award against the firm, which is now part of Bank of America, over his compensation. Since 2004, he has sold shares in Merrill that are valued at $13.1 million, according to Insider Score, which tracks stock sales of corporate insiders.
None of those figures take into account his salary and cash bonuses — including payouts in boom years, when Merrill seemed to be minting money as it plowed headlong into dicey mortgage investments.
Even at Merrill, Mr. Fakahany had a passion for good food. When clients and bankers complained about the food in the dining room, people looked to him to fix it.
"It was basic stuff," he recalls. "You can't serve a Caesar salad followed by a vol-au-vent. We needed more fish, and we dumped the steak and lamb."
He also built a wine collection for Merrill, mostly of wines he was buying for himself. He says he rarely paid more than $100 a bottle. Merrill board members, he says, "were real foodies," so he would offer to bring the wine to board dinners that, in the boom years, were held at the grand St. Regis hotel on Fifth Avenue, and the B.Y.O.B. policy saved Merrill thousands of dollars. After Merrill collapsed into the arms of Bank of America, executives at the new owner privately criticized the wine collection as excessive. Bank of America eventually sold it.
But before all of that, Mr. Fakahany often entertained Merrill clients at Fiamma in SoHo. It was there, in 2004, that he met Mr. White, Fiamma's chef.
"I am a CNBC junkie," says Mr. White, 40. "It was cool to talk to him, and I got to meet people like Stan O'Neal."
Before long, Mr. White was asking Mr. Fakahany for business advice. One evening in late 2006, Mr. White rode a private elevator to the 32nd floor at Merrill Lynch and told Mr. Fakahany that he wanted to open a restaurant in Bernardsville, an upscale hamlet in New Jersey.
"I have 10 to 15 investors lined up," Mr. White told him.
"I will do it," Mr. Fakahany replied.
Mr. White was stunned.
"All of it," Mr. Fakahany continued. "I don't like to work with other partners."
With that, Mr. Fakahany became a restaurant investor. He put up $1.2 million to open a restaurant called Due Terre. In February, it was converted into an Osteria Morini, similar to the one in SoHo.
Not long after that investment, Mr. Fakahany personally negotiated Mr. White's contract with another restaurateur, Chris Cannon, who was looking for a chef for two Manhattan restaurants, L'Impero and Alto. Mr. Fakahany included clauses that would enable Mr. White to exit the venture early and to pursue other opportunities.
By 2007, however, things at Merrill were crashing down. That autumn, Mr. O'Neal resigned as chief executive. After Mr. O'Neal's departure, Mr. Fakahany says, he knew he was a "dead man walking." He resigned, and his last day came on Feb. 1, 2008. He had a 3 p.m. appointment that day to say goodbye to Gregory J. Fleming, then Merrill's co-president.
Mr. Fakahany says he waited and waited, but that Mr. Fleming never showed up. At 6 p.m., he pulled on his blue Dior winter coat and walked home.
"And that is how my 21-year career at Merrill ended," Mr. Fakahany says. (Mr. Fleming, now a president of Morgan Stanley, declined to comment.)
Mr. Fakahany received job offers on Wall Street. But he, Mr. White and Mr. Cannon were soon investing in Marea, and he decided to leave Wall Street for good.
And so it went, until early 2011, when the New York food scene began whispering that the trio was headed for a breakup. That January, the Altamarea Group announced that Mr. Fakahany and Mr. White were ending their relationship with Mr. Cannon.
Mr. Cannon kept two restaurants, Alto and Convivio, both of which later closed. Altamarea got the other restaurants, including Marea, its flagship.
At the Altamarea base in SoHo, Mr. Fakahany and Mr. White work in cramped offices next to each other at the end of a long corridor. "This is about half the size of the gym I had in my office," Mr. Fakahany says, referring to his Merrill days. "Yes, I had a gym in my office." Staff members refer to Mr. Fakahany as King Tut, a nod to his physique and Egyptian roots.
Mr. Fakahany is still all business. He recently dropped by W. H. Linen Rental, in Clifton, N.J., to renegotiate laundry rates, including those for the Egyptian cotton tablecloths and custom-made napkins used at Marea and Ai Fiori. While spending hours watching workers run the napkins through steamers — sometimes twice — to flatten them out, he noticed that the machines could be running the napkins faster — opening the door for him to save money on that item. He also negotiated a group rate for Altamarea's restaurants for the first time.
At Osteria Morini, he tried to ditch the complimentary bread, figuring it would save $1,000 a week. Customers complained, so the bread returned.
And, speaking of customers, some prominent names on Wall Street frequent Mr. Fakahany's restaurants.
Richard D. Parsons, who plans to step down this year as Citigroup chairman, likes Table 8 at Marea. The restaurant serves wine and olive oil from Mr. Parsons' vineyard in Tuscany to his guests.
Lloyd C. Blankfein, the chairman and C.E.O. of Goldman Sachs, is a regular, too. Gary D. Cohn, the No. 2 at Goldman, dined at Marea last November, the same month that Mr. Batali, of Del Posto and Babbo fame, drew ire on Wall Street for mentioning bankers and Hitler in the same breath.
Marea's general manager, Rocky Cirino, jumped at the chance to have a little fun at the Batali empire's expense.
"Today is banker appreciation day," Mr. Cirino wrote on Mr. Cohn's check. He reduced the bill to one cent.
And when John A. Thain, who succeeded Mr. O'Neal as Merrill's C.E.O., called for a reservation, the staff promptly called Mr. Fakahany to ask if he should get a table. (Mr. Thain got one.)
WHETHER Mr. Fakahany and Mr. White can maintain their breakneck pace is anyone's guess. Others have made the jump from Wall Street to the restaurant business, and, while they profess to love the food business, they agree that it can be grueling.
"Running restaurants is harder than trading high-yield bonds," says Sean Largotta, a former Lehman Brothers trader who is now a co-owner of a number of successful Manhattan restaurants, including the Lion in Greenwich Village and Crown on the Upper East Side.
Over at Marea, Mr. Cirino, the general manager, says he admires Mr. Fakahany's focus on costs. But sometimes, old Wall Street habits — including a penchant for expensive luxuries — are hard to break.
When Marea opened, for instance, Mr. Fakahany ordered umbrellas embossed with Marea's name for $7.50 a piece. They were gone within weeks. Another time, Mr. Cirino recalls, Mr. Fakahany took a dislike to the ties that the wait staff were wearing, so he went out and bought 25 Ferragamo ties, at $125 apiece.
"That was so Wall Street — and it was just crazy," Mr. Cirino says.Continue reading the main story

LOVELAND — Three skunks and one raccoon in Loveland and Masonville have tested positive for rabies over the past week, Larimer County Department of Health and Environment officials reported Friday.
Five skunks and one raccoon tested positive for rabies in Larimer County since Jan. 1.
The raccoon, spotted near U.S. 287 and Eisenhower Boulevard in Loveland, was reported acting "sluggish" and then tangling with a pet dog. The dog was put on 45-day home quarantine.
The first skunk was reported Wednesday after an encounter with a dog near the north end of Carter Lake, Jane Viste, public information officer for the department, said in a news release. The second and third skunks were in the Masonville area, both on properties with farm animals, she said. Loveland Reporter-Herald

B.C. Premier Christy Clark rejects Conservative leadership bid
Clark breaks silence on Liberal landslide, jokes about watching hockey with incoming prime minister
B.C. Premier Christy Clark said she has no wish to replace Conservative Leader Stephen Harper, and laughed at the idea of watching hockey with the incoming prime minister.
"Yah...(laughing) I mean I am pretty sure he likes hockey," said Clark when asked about her relationship with Canada's incoming prime minister, Justin Trudeau.
The premier added that she did meet Trudeau once, for about an hour, in 2013 when she was elected to power as the leader in B.C.
As for questions about whether she would like to go to Ottawa to take over the Conservatives, Clark said no.
"B.C. needs fighters too."
The premier insisted that she will have a good relationship with the new regime, despite Conservative ties within her party.
Clark said there is rich common ground she can work on with the federal liberals — from funding infrastructure to the economy — dismissing any suggestions that her cozy hockey-watching relationship with Conservative Leader Stephen Harper, would have any effect on relations with the incoming prime minister.
Climate change
Clark said B.C.'s economic strength has no parallel in Canada right now, making the western province particularly important to Ottawa right now.
"We are a safe harbour in a very, very stormy economic front across the country," said Clark.
"We are thriving and growing where most provinces are shrinking."
Clark said Justin Trudeau would be able to represent the provinces well at the upcoming U.N. Climate Change Summit in Paris.
"I'm delighted he will be joining us."
She also underlined the need to respect what B.C. has achieved when it comes to carbon pricing and climate change policy — and overall efforts to reduce the province's carbon foot print.
"We need to make sure the provinces are coordinated ... and not start to fiddle with the real success that we've seen."
Softwood lumber
The premier said one of her top issues is the softwood lumber agreement and finding a better deal for people who rely on the resource for their livelihood.
"It's urgent for British Columbia," said Clark, promising not to give up, despite being ignored by the U.S. in any efforts to renew or renegotiate the acrimonious trade dispute left hanging since 2006.
"What do we all do when we make a phone call and you can't get through the first time. You keep calling."
Silence broken
After staying on the sidelines for almost all of the federal campaign Clark welcomed all the incoming MPs
- ANALYSIS Christy Clark, B.C.'s premier, keeping quiet during federal election
- B.C. fires: Christy Clark blames climate change for wildfire increase
"There is nothing like being new and bringing fresh eyes," she said.
Clark walks a difficult line as leader of the B.C. Liberal party, which is more of a coalition of federal Conservatives and Liberals, than an arm of the federal Liberals.

North Miami - NMB
Term-limits proposal in North Miami Beach charter revamp plan raises debate
North Miami Beach council members got a glimpse of the proposed revisions for an updated city charter that raised some debate .
City Attorney Jose Smith said the current charter, which was put in place by voters in 1958, is outdated and puts North Miami Beach at risk. For example, a section of the charter gives the city council authority to license firearms even though they are preempted by Florida's statutes from doing so. The current 40-plus pages of the charter would be nearly half the size in its revised form if the council decided to adopt many of the changes.
"Many of the powers that are set forth in your charter are either unconstitutional, preempted by state law or could expose you to legal liability if you tried to enforce it," Smith said.
Top on the list of objections was the proposal to change the term limits of officials serving staggered four-year terms for mayor and council positions. The proposed change would allow officials to serve two four-year terms for each office. In effect, this would allow a council member to possibly serve eight years on the council and be eligible to run for two consecutive four-year terms as Mayor after that.
Councilwoman Beth Spiegel said she was "extremely irritated" that the city attorney and staff did not meet with city council members before drafting the proposal. At a special workshop on Tuesday night, Spiegel repeated more than a dozen times her "problems" with the draft, including a proposal she said would allow the mayor to appoint or create committees. At times, the discussion was terse and emotional.
"You do realize that in the comments that you made are subject to the confirmation by the city council, so it is not a power being granted to the mayor," Mayor George Vallejo said.
"Yeah, English is my first language," Spiegel said.
"It is mine as well," Vallejo responded.
Smith pointed out that some of Spiegel's concerns included what was in the current charter. However, Spiegel got support from council members Phyllis Smith and Frantz Pierre, who also did not support the term-limit proposal.
Councilwoman Barbara Kramer could barely contain her frustration when she questioned Smith's and Pierre's motives.
"I find it too ironic that two of my colleagues (Smith and Pierre) think that eight years is enough and if you win the next election, you'll be here 12 years," Kramer said. "It just doesn't make sense."
Pierre and Smith have served as council members since 2007. Smith already has filed her intention to run for another term in the May 5 election. Qualifying to run for office is from March 23-28.
Pierre spent time quizzing Smith about what it would take to change the charter through a petition process. At one point, Pierre asked whether it would be "viable for a person circulating a petition" to get advice from Smith.
"That would not be proper activity on the behalf of a city attorney. I don't mind meeting with someone who wants to circulate a petition but I'm not going to give legal advice to a private citizen for how to engage in a petition process," Smith said.
Council members Marlen Martell and Anthony DeFillipo strongly supported the new proposed term limits, citing confidence in the electorate to choose their own officials. Martel said longer term limits makes sense for small cities.
"We have a city with 43,000 residents and out of those only 3,000 vote. So who's really interested in coming up here and doing this," Martell said.
Several public workshops will be planned for a later date to discuss term limits and other issues.
In other news, City Clerk Pamela Latimore was sworn in as director of the Southeast District for the Florida Association of City Clerks (FACC). Latimore, an appointee, said the position "won't hinder but only enhance" her current duties.
The council also heard about two forthcoming code amendments that aim to minimize future zoning conflicts. The first amendment would change the way walls are measured to avoid oversized walls, gates and fences that are incompatible with surrounding homes. The second amendment would allow flat roofs on homes without a variance as long as they didn't include a terrace. Last February, residents in the gated Eastern Shores neighborhood objected to a proposed multimillion-dollar home with a rooftop terrace because they feared the new owners would be tempted to have noisy parties on the roof.
The next city council meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 2 at City Hall, 17011 NE 19th Ave.
Volunteer cleanup
A volunteer cleanup day is scheduled at Highland Village, 13651 NE 21 Ave., 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Check in will be from 7 to 8 a.m. For more information, call Candido Sosa-Cruz at 305-948-2964. The event will include landscaping, painting, graffiti removal, tree trimming, painting and trash pickup.

Miami-Dade County
Big green blob invades Everglades in water test
Scientists trying to unravel the mystery of Everglades plumbing turned a marsh west of Miami neon green Tuesday after releasing millions of gallons of dyed water into a swath left parched for the last half century.
The massive $10 million experiment, in the works for about eight years, should help hydrologists better understand how to reconnect sections of the Central Everglades carved decades ago into a network of flood-controlling canals, levees and other structures. For the next three months, scientists will record the movement of water, its depth and speed as well as amounts of sediment and harmful nutrients like phosphorus, to study how its flow helps define the complicated topography of ridges, sloughs and tree islands.
Biologists will also track the surrounding ecosystem — the fish, wading birds and thick mats of vegetation — to find out what it takes to improve life in the nation's largest ecological restoration project.
"You can do experiments in the lab, but until you get out in the field, you don't really know what's going to happen," said Barry Rosen, a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and one of the project's chief scientists.
On Tuesday, the scientists released the dye in a two-by-two-mile wide area known as the Pocket just north of the Tamiami Trail between two canals and twin levees. The canals were constructed in the 1960s to control flooding in towns to the east, such as Sweetwater. Minutes after South Florida Water Management District wetland scientist Eric Cline added the dye in the canal, a bright green blob bloomed in front of culverts connecting it to the marsh. About a half hour later, the dye could be seen floating through the sawgrass and rolling south down a slough.
Like a lot of other canals crisscrossing the Everglades, the L-67A and L-67C choked off the natural sheet flow of water that nourished the marshes and created the ridges and sloughs that filled in the wet season and slowly receded in dry months to concentrate fish and other prey for a thriving community of wading birds.
"If you have this highway of flow," Rosen said, referring to the canals, "you move water straight down and it doesn't do what it's supposed to do."
Marshes in the Pocket, fed only by rainfall and some water seeping from the canals, dried out and became prone to wildfires that eroded the land even more.
"It takes a thousand years to make an inch of soil and that's gone in a flash," said Fred Sklar, a scientist with the South Florida Water Management District.
Moving water south is the central component of the Everglades restoration authorized by Congress in 2000. But how that water is moved — and how segments of the vast ecosystem are restored and rejoined to the whole — have frequently sparked outrage from competing interests. Anglers want to keep bass-rich canals flowing, and the Miccosukee tribe has fought for clean water. Farmers need dry fields. Neighboring cities want flooding controlled.
To help balance demands, Sklar, who advises the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on environmental matters, suggested running a large-scale model to see more precisely what happens.
"You can't build all that you want into a project up front because it's not just an engineering question," he said. "It's also a biological question."
So last year, after reworking the design to appease anglers, workers inserted 10 culverts into the western canal and removed the levee that runs along the eastern canal. They removed the levee on the eastern side to allow water to continue flowing and also plugged and filled portions of the canal to study whether some canals could remain partially open to allow fishing.
On Tuesday, workers used drills to open gates on the culverts, allowing about 10 times as much water to flow into the Pocket, close to historical levels. Biologists then added fluorescein, the same harmless dye injected into eyes during vision exams, and watched it spread. Within minutes, water that had only been moving at about .08 inches per second jumped to 1.2 inches per second. The gates will remain open until the end of December, although Rosen said scientists are hoping to extend the experiment into January. Gauges spread throughout the study area will also monitor water quality as well as measure the velocity and level of sediment.
Results of the experiment will "essentially inform what will happen later," said Lt. Col. Tom Greco, the Corps' deputy district commander for South Florida. "Before we spend millions on structures, you want to [know] as much as humanly possible."

An innovative world-first digital health platform founded on the Sunshine Coast has been launched onto the world stage at the BIO International Convention in San Francisco.
iPug (Prevention Using Gamification) is a mobile-friendly platform that transforms the way research is conducted and how public health campaigns are delivered.
Sunshine Coast-based entrepreneurs Steve Huff and Lyndon Holzheimer conceived iPug while based at Spark Bureau, a start-up incubator for entrepreneurs in Maroochydore.
The iPug platform includes the iPug Research Suite™, which recruits and engages targeted participants for high-quality, real-time research results. The iPug Health Suite™ delivers targeted health campaigns to individuals with the right message, at the right time, on the right device with the right reward incentive.
Steve Huff said: "iPug moves governments away from a broadcast model of ineffective public health campaigns to a targeted reward-based communications platform.
"We see tremendous opportunity in the US to reduce the cost of public health campaigns through effective scaleability and delivering measurable results.
"This individualised approach means better retention, engagement, learning and public health outcomes."
iPug's Australian launch was held at Spark Bureau last night.
"It began here just last year and is now making its entry into a global marketplace which shows just how successful you can become as a start-up from the Sunshine Coast," Mayor Mark Jamieson said.
"It was certainly a proud moment as mayor of the Sunshine Coast to be in San Francisco at BIO 2016 and see two of our home-based entrepreneurs making a splash on the world stage."
iPug is teaming up with Dr Andrea Gielen, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Prevention and Policy, to roll out a new public health campaign in 2016 called D.O.S.E. (Digital-Opioid-Safety-Education).
This campaign will promote safe use, storage, and disposal of opioid pain medications to reduce the risk of addiction, diversion, overdose and death.
Digital health funding is on the increase in the US with more than $900 million in investment in the first quarter of this year, which represents 50% year-on-year growth from the same time last year.
"It is an exciting time to be in digital health. We've already successfully launched the injury prevention app Cool Runnings through the Centre for Children's Burns and Trauma Research, University of Queensland in Brisbane," Mr Huff said.

John Marquis bagged a goal on his first appearance since rejoining Cobblers as Chris Wilder's side stretched their extraordinary winning run to 10 games by beating beleaguered York City 2-1 at Bootham Crescent on Tuesday evening.
Initially there was not much between the sides but once Northampton hit the front through James Collins' header, they shifted through the gears and ran out comfortable winners.
The Cobblers had the clearer sights of goal despite not being at their very best during a first half lacking in goalmouth action and they deservedly went in front shortly before half-time when Collins headed home Brendan Moloney inviting right-wing cross.
More was to follow after the break and Marquis, who joined Cobblers on loan from Millwall earlier this week, swiftly added a second after being set up by Collins.
Town could have had further goals but instead York bagged themselves a late consolation through Russell Penn's sublime 30-yard volley in the final minute of stoppage time.
Although it ruined what would have been a fifth consecutive clean sheet, that late strike ultimately proved irrelevant as Cobblers clung on and clinched a 10th straight win in all and an eighth successive victory on the road.
They also extended their lead at the top of Sky Bet League Two to 12 points after Plymouth Argyle were held to a goalless draw at Yeovil.
This win over York was made all the more impressive given that it was achieved without the influential John-Joe O'Toole, who was ruled out of his first league game since September with a knock picked up in the win over Wycombe, while Ricky Holmes and Lee Martin started on the bench as boss Wilder freshened things up.
Marquis made his debut up front in one of three changes from Saturday, with Lawson D'Ath and Jason Taylor also returning to the team.
Taylor and D'Ath were immediately involved in the game's first moment of note when the former's long-range first-time shot was gathered by Scott Flinders on just 35 seconds after D'Ath's cross had been cleared.
York came into this game on the back of three straight home wins and they too started confidently with Jake Hyde finding himself in space in the penalty area but he took too long over the shot and David Buchanan recovered well.
York were content to sit deep and play on the break but it was a Cobblers counter-attack which yielded the first clear-cut chance when, on 17 minutes, Marquis showed impressive pace to power through the home defence, but a heavy touch allowed Flinders to rush off his line and smother the striker's shot.
That chance remained one of very few in a 35 minutes short on drama, however although not at their fluent best, Cobblers always carried the greater threat as they dominated possession.
A crucial intervention from Luke Hendrie prevented Marquis' cross reaching an unmarked Collins and that was the start of a good spell for the visitors which would result in the opening goal shortly before half-time.
It came rather out of the blue as Moloney picked up the ball in space on the right and his wonderful cross gave Collins the simple task of heading into the bottom corner.
It was a deserved lead and could have been doubled before half-time but Zander Diamond somehow managed to miss from all of two yards after Nicky Adams' corner had caused problems.
As it turned out, that miss would have little effect as the Cobblers required just five minutes of the second half to double their advantage.
Marquis had looked lively all evening but though he applied the finishing touch, he owed much to the hard work of Collins who got away down the right and put in an inch perfect cross which left the debutant with a simple tap-in.
A now rampant Cobblers immediately went on the hunt for more goals as Adams' cross-shot almost drifted in before D'Ath had two chances in as many minutes, first scuffing a volley and then heading over.
A triple substitution from York boss Jackie McNamara gave the hosts some much-needed impetus but Northampton, led by the once again impressive Diamond and Rod McDonald at the heart of defence, were equal to anything that came their way as Adam Smith had another quiet evening in goal.
The Cobblers goalkeeper was called into action on 71 minutes, though, when he had to react quickly to keep out Michael Coulson's low drive, and that was followed by Hendrie's cross almost finding its way into the net.
The result was never really in doubt, however, and Northampton could have won by more had Collins managed to beat Flinders after being set through on goal by Holmes.
A tense final few seconds was in store thanks to Penn's stunning 30-yard volley but that came far too late as Cobblers saw out the final 30 seconds to clinch another three points.

Paint, Paint, Everywhere
We are all dressed up in our painting suits anyways so why not paint ourselves and then play in the sprinklers to wash off? The kids can use wet chalk to draw on the sidewalk, paint the outside of the orange group's window, or even paint the rocks at bike track!

The Aragon Convention Center Building, Spain portrays a fractional and varied profile ascending and descending in dialog with the different spaces housed in its interior and manifesting expressively the presence of natural light and the meeting point of the building with the ground. Like a white shining cover, a great roof gently envelopes the different structures sheltering a large interior space which demonstrates the public and institutional character of its purpose.
Three main blocks to house an auditorium, a multi-purpose pavilion and modular halls will be connected to each other via a large common vestibule which links the different areas. The convention hall was conceived with the intention of leaving upper tier and mezzanine independent of each other which will mean a hall for 1500 persons will also be compatible with conventions for smaller numbers. The exhibition pavilion will be used during Expo 2008 as the Water Platform since its location, with the possibility of independent access, will allow it to be used for exhibitions, for seminars or diverse events, simultaneously.
The modular halls comprise an area which can be used during the International Exhibition as a press centre, offices or meetings rooms if required, whereas later it can be subdivided into multiple halls or seminars of greater or lesser size. A large subterranean storey will house the service areas, installations, dressing rooms, storage areas, kitchens… which will guarantee operation as a centre with the necessary characteristics without interfering in the public spaces of the building.
Geometry, structure and construction are part of this proposal for a single combined concept. The necessity for rapid execution does not present a problem for our project, rather it is the reason for the architectural concept itself. Strict geometric modulation, the preference for using prefabricated building structures which lend themselves to being repeated, the choice of a structural solution based on metallic girders with powerful lights and finally, voluntary restriction in the range of materials, are all arguments for a strategy which will allow us to dominate the structural, geometric and construction preconditions which impact on the process.
The interior spaces of the Convention Centre will respond to the same gradation of textures and color. Metal and concrete cladding in vestibules and public areas will coexist with continuous tiling and glass divisions. The main auditorium will also contribute to the drive for luminosity and clarity with its materials. To the exterior, large glass fronts will alternate glazed panels and metal lattices integrated in the facade with transparent sections for the elevation to the square which will enhance the perception of the open and public character of the building.

Today's post is just another casual outfit that I worn to my Mother-In-Law 60th birthday yesterday. My brother-in-law and I hosted a party. Something comfortable for me to claim up the ladder or crawl under the table is a must. Although I want comfy, I want the most flattering shade of color for my skin tone since the room will be filled with many critic eyes (my MIL friends). I put the outfit complete with modest and fine accessories for more eyes pleasing to the critics.
This outfit features a Vintage Tweed Chanel jacket that I got from the local estate auction. I love this old cut jacket as it's a classic piece to my wardrobe that will be treasure for years. My first pair of Hudson jeans from my awesome friend's, Chun Yen closet on my last visit at her house. An orange top from Loft final sale of $9.98 when visiting my sister last week. Franco Sarto Mary Jane patent shoes are also from contribution of a good friend, Emily. Last but not least, Vintage Hermes Constance 27cm box; I bought from another dearest friend, Susan. I think it's best to sum up that it's awesome to have friend wear the same size and similar style as I am…. It's a great way to inherited or raid their closet.

Was recently in Ooty with family in June. Wanted to share a tip, in case
you are travelling from Coimbatore by road and do not have your own
vehicle try http://taxi1way.in which will give you an economical drop to
Ooty or from OOty to Coimbatore. YOu can do the local part on your own
or they also book the entire trip (is costlier). We tried it and it
turned out to be cheaper than all the quotes we got. Try
Coimbatore Ooty Taxi.

Protein kinases are a family of pivotal enzymes with 518 members implicated in various processes of signal transduction, constituting over 2% of the human genome. Kinases regulate cell signaling pathways by phosphorylating their physiological substrates. They catalyze the transfer of γ-phosphate from ATP or GTP to the hydroxyl groups of serine, threonine and tyrosine residues on the substrate proteins or the glycosyl moieties in lipids. Kinase deregulation could lead to the changes in kinase enzymatic activity, subcellular localization, and stability of kinase, protein-protein interactions, and thereby aberrant activation of downstream signaling pathways that underlie all major human pathological conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and more.
SignalChem offers a broad range of recombinant kinase proteins to assist the global academic research and drug discovery efforts. An in-house product development team with over 100 years of combined experience in kinase biochemistry is behind the production and quality control of all the kinase-related products.

USB flash drives are a convenient way to transfer information from one computer to another. But what if you need to transfer data from a computer to say, a smartphone? With the announcement of a new 2-in-1 USB flash drive from Imation, it may be time to kiss your USB cables and card readers goodbye.
Unveiled at this year's CES Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, the 2-in-1 drive from Imation features a full size USB connector that docks into a Micro USB connector, which is found on nearly all Android-powered smartphones and tablets.

MU Joins High-Speed 'Innovation Campuses'
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The University of Missouri has become part of a high-speed computer network.
The university announced Thursday that the network will offer speeds of up to 100 gigabits per second. Officials hope the higher speeds will enhance the school's research capabilities.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports that Internet2, a not-for-profit computer networking group, has named the university an "innovation campus," joining other pilot sites for next-generation Internet.
Gary Allen, vice president of IT for the University of Missouri System, says the university has used Internet2 through an off-campus provider for years, but now it has a direct link because the backbone of the Innovation Network runs from Kansas City to St. Louis, passing through Columbia.
