In Montreal, student protests target Quebec's Liberal government
The protest began when Quebec's Liberal Party tried to hike tuition rates for college students. But the sometimes violent street rallies have exploded into a much wider debate in French Canada over civil liberties and the future of popular social programs.
As Brian Mann reports, some students are now calling for the resignation of Quebec's premier.
Thousands of students march through Montreal's commercial district, chanting, pounding on pots and pans.
Most, like Gretchen King, a communications student at McGill University, wear a bright red ribbon – the symbolof a movement that has rocked this city for three months.
"I'm here to protest the tuition hike, which has yet to be negotiated in any way by the Liberal government," she says.
On this night, the march continues well past midnight, the crowd swelling as it snakes through neighborhoods and parks.
One young man wearing the black jersey of the anarchist movement sets off a massive firecracker. The crowd seethes as cops in riot gear move in to make an arrest.
Protests like this one have become commonplace here, with two or three demonstrations each day. Earlier this month, students shut down the Metro with smoke bombs.
"So I don't think there are a lot of police services in North America that have lived through 260 protests in 120 days. It's a lot," says Ian LaFreinere, a commander with Montreal's city police.
YouTube videos have circulated widely, showing cops in riot gear hosing crowds with pepper spray and using what critics describe as excessive force.
More than 2,500 people have been arrested so far, a handful on terrorism-related charges. LaFreienere acknowledges that police are exhausted and frustrated. But he says the city is doing its best to maintain order.
"It's hard also because you face people throwing raocks at you. So you need a lot of tolerance, a lot of patience."
But a growing number of political observers say Quebec's government has mishandled the protests. In a speech broadcast last month on RDI television, the province's Premier Jean Charest seemed to mock the students.
Montreal's Mayor, meanwhile described protestors as kids, who should be brought to heel by their parents.
"In effect, they treated the students like children. And the students are not children. They are adults, and many of them idealistic, many of them impassioned by this struggle," says Antonia Maioni is a professor of political science at McGill University.
After first discounting the protests, she says, the Charest government then over-reacted the opposite direction, pushing through an emergency measure called Law 78 that set sharp limits on protests and political rallies.
"So there are many people who are saying now, I'm not for or against tuition hikes – it's not about tuition hikes anymore. It's about what the provincial government is trying to do to our freedom of expression."
Maioni says the protests have also widened to include a debate over other austerity measures that the Charest government has proposed, as a way to ease the province's growing budget deficits.
For their part, protestors seen delighted at what they view as Charest's missteps, and have taken up mocking him in return.
Protestor Gretchen King says a movement that began over tuition hikes now hopes to topple the provincial government.
"A growing number of people say that Charest should resign. That's what the conclusion has been – not that he's messed up, but that he should be gone," she insists.
Political pressure is growing here as Montreal moves toward its crucial summer tourist season and hotels are reporting a drop-off in visitors.
Charest has already sacked two top officials in his cabinet, including Quebec's education minister. Negotiations with students continued yesterday and are set to resume this morning.

Life just is
Its really something else just living life isn't it? Somethings just never work according to plan and if it ain't one thing, its another right?
Have you visit Great America? There are a hand full of people that refuses to ride the big rollercoasters, but life will absolutely put you on one without first consulting you. Life was not meant to be easy. In fact we were built to be warriors. Hard to believe that right?
Look at it like this, every time life present itself odd situations, you were somehow able to look up to a brighter and better day. Ok, ok so maybe you owe millions but hey, your still breathing. That alone is worthy enough to give thanks and look forward a greater outcome.
So stop worry about it. Stop being sad about it. Stop expecting the worst. Get up, stand up, poke your chest out and look out for a better day because its coming.

Finally done!
It seems that I'm having some trouble sleeping again, so I was up kind of late last night. I decided to put in a movie and work on mine and my husband's wedding scrapbook and I finished it! Finally! It only took me 8 months, but I got it done. :D
I'm not a very crafty person, but I love pictures. That's why I enjoy scrapbooking as much as I do. When I get ready to scrapbook, though, I like to have a wide open space in front of me so I can spread out all of my stuff. Stickers, pictures, pens, pencils, markers, etc. Here's what I'm talking about...
I'm sitting on the full size bed in the guestroom and I'm sitting in the corner and my scrapbooking stuff is taking up the rest of the bed. It's an organized mess, I swear. :P But, anyway, I really am glad that I finally got it finished. There are definitely going to be more wedding scrapbooks though, I still have tons of wedding pictures, and scrapbooks are just more fun to make and look at than photo albums. Overall, I think I've finished 4 scrapbooks. It takes me a while to get it the way that I want it and get the pictures printed to put in them and everything like that, but by the end, it's definitely worth it.
So, I posted the above picture because a friend of mine had posted on Facebook about how anyone over the age of 8 shouldn't wear their hair in pigtails. Okay, well first off, I love to wear my hair in pigtails, especially pigtails with braids, and I'm almost 20 years old. According to her, I should have stopped wearing my hair like this 12 years ago. Well, guess what I said to her? I told her that I love wearing my hair in pigtails and I look freakin' adorable with them, too!
Haha. The 8 year old inside me demands that I wear my hair in pigtails occasionally and who am I to tell her no? :P

Banks, rate sensitives up 1-3% on hopes of 25-bps rate cut
While the benchmark indices ended flat after a cautious and narrow-range trade, the banking index closed at a two-week high. The CNX Bank Nifty advanced 0.64%, or 81.70 points, to close at 12,774.95, led by gains in private sector banks.
We met 25-odd investors in the US on our India 2013 views in the past week. Most investors are in show me mode: show me rate cuts, show me. Rate cuts are key to banks and rate sensitives trades. The prospect of RBI rate cuts we pencil 25 bps on Tuesday and 75 bps by June cropped up at every meeting with most clients positioned long banks and rate sensitives, said Indranil Sen Gupta, chief India Economist, Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Rating agency Icra, too, expects RBI to cut repo rate by 25 bps in the policy review, in line with the guidance provided previously, with a focus on moderating any spikes in the systemic liquidity deficit through open-market operations.
Yes Bank, which came close to touching its 52-week peak, was the top gainer in the banking space, rising 3.8% from Friday's close after Nomura Financial Advisory & Securities, the Indian arm of the Japanese financial services major, upgraded the scrip to buy on

Oldham County Judge-Executive David Voegele has signed off on a new contract to haul away the county's recyclable materials.
A two-year contract with Republic Services Corporation began Friday. The company will haul recyclables that residents drop into self-serve containers at the Oldham County Recycling Center in Buckner.
Long-time staff member Greg Allen has been selected as campus pastor for the Oldham campus of Southeast Christian Church in Crestwood.
Allen has been on staff with the church for 30 years and served in capacities such as student pastor, worship pastor, lead team pastor and now, campus pastor in Oldham County.
The Oldham County Sheriff's Office budget for 2013 has been adjusted to reflect increases in deputies' salaries that were inadvertently omitted.
County magistrates approved the budget amendment March 7. More than $21,000 was added to the deputies' gross salary line item.
The change in the salary total also precipitated an uptick in the employer's share of Social Security and hazardous duty retirement contributions.
An Eminence man and his passenger are dead after a crash Sunday night in Henry County.
According to Kentucky State Police, the crash occurred at 9:35 p.m. on Ky. 146 when a vehicle traveling east on Ky. 146 left the roadway and struck a tree.
A North Oldham High School graduate featured in Monday's episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" chose to walk away with thousands when stumped by a question about cajones.
Derek McMahan, a law student at The College of William and Mary, made it to the seventh question of the game show.
Debbie Clark knew something was wrong. The sharp pain radiated from her arms to her shoulders and neck—even up into her jaw.
"But nothing in my chest," she recalled.
So, surely it couldn't have been a heart attack, right?
After about 15 minutes of extreme pain, a co-worker called 911. Oldham County EMS arrived at American Bank Equipment on Mattingly Road in Buckner where Clark works for her son.
"They came in and it was like they knew," the 60-year-old grandmother of four said.
Buckner Elementary student Kennedy Park asked her principal if she could start a drive for stuffed animals to be collected through Kosair.
They are to be given to officers when they go to transport children. Park is going to try and get 1,000 collected so the special Bear Patrol truck comes to pick them up.
"This was totally kid-initiated," said Principal Lisa Cheek. "She didn't even tell her teacher about it — she went straight to the top."
Oldham County EMS has received a grant from the state board that oversees EMS units.
The $10,714.28 grant was awarded to OC EMS by the Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services as part of its emergency medical services grant program.
Oldham County Judge-Executive David Voegele signed off on the grant Tuesday.
The money will be used to purchase a bariatric stretcher. The equipment will be used to transport obese patients. It has a weight capacity of 1,000 pounds.
Statewide EMS units can apply for the grants each year.
Amy Alvey has been promoted to community planner for Oldham Planning and Development.
Oldham County magistrates approved her promotion Tuesday.
A Goshen man who claims he shot his brother-in-law in self-defense Oct. 15 is now charged with reckless homicide and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Police arrested Emmitt Pendleton, 50, Oct. 15 after a shooting at Pendleton's home in the 5200 block of U.S. 42.
Pendleton told police he shot his brother-in-law, Richard Hild, in self-defense during an argument about a utility trailer.
Police found Hild's body in the driveway after Pendleton called 911.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz seem determined to prove they weren't just blowing smoke with their Feb. 9 split announcement, in which they promised to remain "deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our No. 1 priority."
On Monday, the estranged pair put their differences aside to celebrate Valentine's Day with their towheaded 2-year-old tyke, with the trio rendezvousing for lunch at the swanky Beverly Hills Hotel.
The family arrived and left together in the same Lexus SUV, but an insider downplays the reunion speculation triggered by the meet-up.
"They just had a meal together with their son," the source pooh-poohs to People mag. "They're both focused on making this transition as easy as possible for him."
And perhaps for everyone else. Ashlee, 26, and Pete, 31, chose a venue known for its paparazzi presence, so the outing might have been their way of showing they plan to keep things friendly for their tot's sake.
As snappers clicked away, the pocketsize exes kept their heads down and made their way into the hotel, with the pixie-cut and peroxide-topped Simpson holding onto Bronx's hand (see the pics here).
Wentz, who allegedly tried to talk his wife of nearly three years out of filing for divorce, has also visited her, post-breakup, at the Encino, Calif., estate of her parents, where People says she's staying with their son (she's asked for primary physical custody, along with spousal and child support).
Pete presumably remains in the couple's sprawling Beverly Hills home, although at least one tabloid has some thoughts about the current living situation.
In Touch claims that Ashlee is not actually staying with parents Joe and Tina, choosing instead to crash with big sister Jessica and her fiancé, Eric Johnson.
"Leaving Pete was tough for Ashlee and she needed to be with her family," a spy alleges to the tab. "Jessica told her she and Bronx were welcome to stay with them until she was ready to find a place of her own."
RELATED VIDEO: Jessica's pantsless photo shoot
According to the snitch, "There have been a lot of family dinners and lots of praying. Ashlee couldn't have asked for better support."
But while a family confidant confirms to Gossip Cop that Jess is offering Ashlee a shoulder to cry on, she hasn't offered her a guest room.
Besides, having her kid sister and nephew around might put a crimp in Jessica's romantic adventures.
On Monday night, she tweeted, "9 1/2 Weeks :) Happy Valentines Day!" We're assuming that's a reference to the movie in which the once-smoldering, now-moldering Mickey Rourke enjoys sexytimes with Kim Basinger, and not, say, the results of an ultrasound.

LAKES Entrance fisherman Ron Mitchelson has shown local anglers how to make the most of the Ballarat spring, hooking two good-sized brown trout at Lake Wendouree yesterday.
Fishing off the lake's western bank from 6am, Mr Mitchelson used mud-eye lures to snare both fish within an hour.
Check out more photos of Ballarat in spring
"I'm not from Ballarat, but my father-in-law suggested to go and give Lake Wendouree a go," Mr Mitchelson said.
"I was speaking to a couple of locals down there and they said a few trout had been getting caught."
Mr Mitchelson said he had plenty of bites within the hour he was at the lake.
"There were pretty good fish – I surprised myself actually."
More good fishing has been reported at Burrumbeet – but unlike at Lake Wendouree, those fish are unlikely to land on the dinner plate.
Despite the carp competition being called off, anglers are still catching plenty of the pests from Lake Burrumbeet, off the bank and out of boats.
And for those anglers wanting to know what the weather is doing before they head out, today's forecast is for a top temperature of 20 degrees, showers developing tomorrow then tops of just 14 degrees through to the weekend.
Showers are also forecast each day from tomorrow through to Sunday.
Despite the slow start, Ballarat should be in for warmer-than-expected weather over the next few months, according to the Bureau of Meteorology.

Electronic Reserve Guidelines for Faculty
Last Update: June 1, 2004- Submit reserve items in advance
- All items are processed on a first come first serve basis. Due to the volume of items we receive at the beginning of the semester, it is advised that you submit your readings, syllabi, and other course materials as early as possible to insure that they are available to your students when needed.
- Make sure your copies are clean, clear and not double sided.
- Please make sure your copies are free of black edges. We are able to scan an item more quickly if we do not have to cut, crop, and recopy the readings ourselves. Clear copies insure that the file size will remain small enough for students to download from home.
- All reserve items must have the original title page and copyright page.
- Readings can be put on electronic reserve for 1 semester only without copyright permission. Documents that need to be put on reserve for 2 or more semesters need copyright clearance.
- Reserve request form is required
- Submit a reserve request form per course with the item(s)
- The reserve request form can be found online.
- All ERES pages are archived at the end of each semester.
Photocopies, Copyright and Library Reserve
Last Update: April 13, 2004The following is a brief outline of copyright law and guidelines for placing photocopies on reserve.
- You may:
- Copy only a portion of the following copyrighted materials to place in reserve:
- chapter of a book
- article from a magazine or newspaper, short story, or essay (2500 words maximum)
- complete poem if under 250 words, or excerpts from a longer poem, not to exceed 250 words
- You may make multiple copies IF:
- it is "inspirational" (not enough time to expect a timely reply to a request for permission) AND
- the copying is for one course only AND
- a maximum of five (5) copies per item is made AND
- there are no more than nine (9) instances of "inspirational" copying in one school semester AND
- the original copyright notice appears on all copies of the work
- you have written for permission to copy when the copying is NOT spontaneous
- you may use the material until you have an answer
- if the answer is "NO," then all copies MUST be destroyed at that time
- if copy permission is granted, you may have further criteria to meet (such as a charge from the publisher) and must do so
- copying is made at a campus copy center (use of a for-profit copy center violates the copyright law)
- You may not:
- Copy to create or substitute for anthologies, compilations or collective works (photocopies of copyrighted materials cannot be used in place of a course textbook)
- Copy an entire work
- Copy a work if the library does not have the original as part of its collection
- Use the same material for succeeding semesters, unless permission is secured from the copyright holder; all copied materials coming under the legal limits of "fair use" will be returned to the instructor at the end of the semester.
Out of print does NOT give permission to photocopy, but may justify limited "fair use" copying (see above).
The library requires faculty members to certify that photocopied material placed on reserve is covered under the "fair use" provisions of the law, or that permission has been obtained from the copyright owner to copy the materials. Verification of permission to copy must be supplied and a copy will be kept in reserve along with the request to place the item on reserve (see photocopy reserve request form). - Copy only a portion of the following copyrighted materials to place in reserve:

Celebrity chef Tiffani Faison was spotted last Thursday night dining al fresco on the gorgeous inset patio of the Met Bar and Grill on Newbury Street. The talented redhead who first appeared on season 1 of Bravo's Emmy winning "Top Chef" series, and then returned to compete on their "All Stars" edition, opened her first restaurant in the Fenway area about a year and a half ago. Sweet Cheeks, a full-on barbecue and beer destination for the casual Boston set, features tables fashioned from old church doors and bowling alley lanes, sweet tea served in recycled Mason jars, and of course, every kind of tender-roasted hunk of meat you can think of, alongside a generous selection of brewery libations.
Thursday night, however, Ms. Faison was actually enjoying someone else's cooking for once, sitting down with a female friend around 7 p.m. and enjoying a glass of white wine as she waited for her entree to appear. Even as the sun set, the Top Chef All Star lingered to enjoy the Beantown night air, wearing a light striped hoodie and a "Boston Back Bay" baseball cap, which helped keep her lovely red locks tucked out of her face.
Faison was spotted most recently giving back to Boston at the Fenway Bites Back event to benefit the One Fund.
Want to know why you should never, ever feel guilty about eating chocolate? Because earlier this month, celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels was spotted at Hotel Chocolat on Newbury Street buying about $50 worth of chocolate!
The super-buff star walked into the shop a little after three in the afternoon with her partner Heidi Rhoades and their adopted three-year-old daughter, Lukensia, from Haiti, who has been with them since May 2012. Lukensia was wearing leggings, a t-shirt, and a tiny leather bomber jacket. Michaels showed off her guns in a sleeveless t-shirt and jeans, and wore her hair tucked under a baseball cap, with dark sunglasses on her face in order to keep a low profile. The star picked out a variety of chocolates for her and her partner, including some salted caramels and a selection of cheesecake truffles. Lukensia tried a salted caramel in-store, as mama Michaels plunked down her black AMEX card and California license for verification at the register.
Michaels was in town for her current "Maximize Your Life Tour," which made a stop in Lowell last night at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium.
The fitness guru hails from Los Angeles, California, and is best known for her appearances on NBC's "The Biggest Loser" and "Losing It with Jillian."
Last Friday night, Tracey Noonan and Dani Desroches, the mother daughter team and co-owners of the Wicked Good Cupcakes appeared on ABC's "Shark Tank" and got the alias "Mr. Wonderful," Kevin O'Leary, to invest $75,000 in their little business based out of Cohasset, MA. This, however, was not the first time the company has made waves. In early 2012, "Cupcakegate" created a national commotion, after a woman got stopped by TSA while trying to take her cupcake in a jar through airport security. The resulting press helped increase sales on this clever company's take on cupcakes, which puts layers on frosting and cake inside mason jars that can last up to 10 days without refrigeration.
Tomorrow, Wicked Good Cupcakes opens its second location, its first in Boston, in an area that receives more yearly visitors than Disney World–Quincy Market! The new addition to the plethora of cupcake shops that already inhabit the Hub brings with it their own creative spin and lots of buzz thanks to their recent appearance on primetime.
This is also not the first time that a New England company has appeared on the Friday night reality show. Last season, Barbara Corcoran invested $55,000 for a 15% stake in Cousins Maine Lobster, which helps bring succulent lobsters and lobster dishes to folks across the country, including lobster mac and cheese, lobster pot pie, and lobster rolls.
One of Boston's favorite sons, Matt Damon will be in town today, visiting his alma mater in Cambridge. The Academy award-winning actor is visiting Harvard University in order to receive the 2013 Harvard Arts Medal. Damon attended the school from 1988 to 1992, but never actually graduated, though he later went on to pen the movie that would eventually launch his career about a young man's struggles to improve his education at a different famed Cambridge school, when he won the Oscar for Good Will Hunting.
The award will be presented by the Office for the Arts at Harvard and the Board of Overseers, and will feature a ceremony and a discussion on Damon's life and career. The event will be hosted by fellow actor and Harvard alum John Lithgow of "3rd Rock from the Sun" fame.
The Harvard Arts Medal honors "a distinguished Harvard or Radcliffe graduate or faculty member who has achieved excellence in the arts and has made contribution through the arts to education or the public good."
Today's event also marks the official opening of Arts First, which will be an annual festival spotlighting students in the creative arts. The ceremony begins at 4 p.m. at Sanders Theatre on Quincy Street. A live stream of the day's events will also be available for viewing online through the school's website.
Since last week's tragedy at the Boston Marathon, a number of celebrities and other notable stars have come together to lend a hand in their own way to support the city, from both near and far.
Former New Kid on the Block, Joey McIntyre was running in the marathon to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association and in honor of his mother who suffers from the disease. He finished the race mere minutes before the bombs went off. he's since tweeted messages of love and support, along with Cambridge native Minday Kaling.
As a touching sign of solidarity, New York showed their love for Boston by singing Neil Diamond's hit song, "Sweet Caroline" at Yankee Stadium. On Saturday, Diamond surprised the Red Sox fandom at Fenway, just hours after a citywide lockdown, by showing up to lead Red Sox fans in the song traditional sung a the top of the eighth inning. Diamond apparently flew to Boston before he even arranged the performance, and also told Rolling Stone, "I'm writing now and obviously affected by this situation in Boston, so I'm writing about it just to express myself."
Victims of the bombings that are still recovering in local hospitals were surprise when actor Bradley Cooper stopped by the Boston Medical Center on Friday. Cooper is currently in town filming David O. Russell's upcoming movie American Hustle.
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman made sure to visit Jeffrey Bauman during his visit. Bauman, lost both of his legs in the bombing, but awoke from surgery and was able to provide the the FBI with important information for their investigation. Other NFL stars, Danny Amendola and Jermichael Finley (of the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers, respectively) have both pledged to give portions of their 2013 season salaries to the One Fund. Amendola will be donating $100 per catch and $200 per drop, while Finley promised $500 for both every dropped pass and touchdown to the relief efforts. "Now fans can cheer & boo me @ the same time!" Finley said on his Twitter page.
Late-night E! talk show host Chelsea Handler pledged her support to bombing victims in the form of a $25,000 donation to gofundme.com, an online recovery fund for Celeste and Sydney Corcoran, a mother and daughter from Lowell, Massachusetts, who were both severely injured at the marathon bombings.
Newton, Massachusetts, native Amy Poehler addressed the audience of her Smart Girls YouTube channel Friday by answering a viewer question on violent imagery. "It's been tough, hasn't it? Doesn't it feel like we're just bombarded with stuff now? That everywhere we go there's just some picture that's worse than before. I kinda feel like my eyes need a break." She ended the video with a very simple message: "I love you Boston." Poehler is a graduate of Boston College.
Other stars lent their support more simply. On Monday morning, "The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck wore a red Boston jersey. The conservative member of the talk show panel attended and also graduated from Boston College. Likewise, Olympic gold medalist gymnast Aly Raisman was seen wearing Boston t-shirts in her aired rehearsals for "Dancing With the Stars." The 18 year old lives in Needham, saying "It was really difficult," of performing live on TV shortly after learning of the bombings. "I just want to say that I love everyone back home from Boston. You're all in our thoughts and prayers."
The new VH1 reality series, "Wicked Single," created such an initial ruckus when it released a teaser trailer on it's website that angry viewers commented by the hundreds, remarking on how terrible the show looked to be. Not to let an opportunity go by, VH1 started using the comments as pull quotes on their television commercials, referring to viewers' desires to inflict graphic violence on themselves, rather than be subjected to more of the show. Now, in a recent article by Boston Magazine, writer Bryanna Cappadona begs the question, "Is Boston the New New Jersey of Reality TV?" Not exactly the most flattering suggestion.
The show follows the antics of six young Bostonians, most of which seem to have not only a severe, and cliched Boston accident, but some sort of speech impediment, and/or a learning disability, that impairs their judgement and their awareness of reality, making said antics more eye-roll worthy than even mildly entertaining. This is not the Boston of highly educated scientists, doctors, professors, and techno wiz-kids, nor even the educational pursuits of any of the over 250k students that attend America's "College Town" each and every fall. This is the work of the worst Boston stereotypes, hyperbolized into the same kind of mindless tripe that made the "Jersey Shore" into a parody of shoreline dwelling would-be Italianos.
Add "Southie Rules" to the mix, and Boston, for better or worse, has a decent amount of representation on TV, but most Beantown dwellers would say that the perception it casts is anything but fair.
Infamous Boston chef and restauranteur, Todd English, has been popping up on TV lately, with a new starring role on the much hyped E! reality show "Playing with Fire." The show follows the crazy chaotic lives of Anna Boiardi, AKA, heir to the Chef Boyardee empire, "Top Chef" alum Candice Kumai, ESquared Hospitality Group Pastry Chef Julie Elkind, and identical twin restaurateurs The Koch Brothers. Actress Jennifer Esposito will also be making appearances on the show at some point, though she has not been in any scenes or episodes yet.
The show does take place entirely in New York City, so Chef English's appearances, unfortunately, are not being taped locally. Though there have been a few clips here and there with English and his daughter Isabelle, in her namesake cupcake shop on Charles Street in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood. Isabelle showed up at her father's birthday party in the debut episode.
Aside from Curlycakes, English also owns Figs on Charles Street, as well as Bonfire in Logan Airport, and recently reopened his much heralded Olives restaurant in Charlestown, which had been closed since a fire in 2010.
"Playing with Fire" debuted on March 17th, and the show airs on Sunday nights at 10 p.m. on the E! network.

Last night was a big night for Boston locals on television. In addition to the premiere of the much anticipated "Boston's Finest" on TNT, a couple of local folks made headlines related to some rather prominent reality show competitions.
Earlier in the day, Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman was announced as a contestant on the upcoming 16th season of the ABC series, "Dancing With the Stars." Raisman hails from Needham, Massachusetts, and first captured the hearts of America during her Olympic debut in London last year, where she successfully walked away with three medals. She won a bronze in the balance beam, and gold for both the floor final and for the overall team competition. The new season of DWTS will debut on Monday, March 18 from 8:00-10:01 p.m.
Last night, Boston-based chef, Kristen Kish was announced the winner of season 10 of the Emmy winning Bravo show, "Top Chef." After having been sent home early in the season, Kristen Kish was able to demonstrate her fighting spirit by earning a spot back into the competition during the "Last Chance Kitchen" challenges. She ended up defeating L.A. chef Brooke Williamson by two rounds to earn the title of Top Chef.
Kish, a former model who originally hails from South Korea and was raised in Michigan, currently works as Chef de Cuisine at Barbara Lynch's Stir. This educational culinary facility hosts demonstration dinners seven nights a week, and features a revolving menu showcasing different cooking styles, cuisines, and regions. Previously, Kish worked as Chef de Partie at Chef Guy Martin's Boston restaurant, Sensing.
Along with the title of "Top Chef," Kish was awarded a showcase at the Aspen Food and Wine Classic, a feature in Food and Wine magazine, and $125,000 in prize money. She told the crew she plans on traveling back to South Korea for the first time since her birth with a portion of her winnings. She is only the second female chef ever to win the prestigious competition.
Tonight on TNT, the cable network that would lead you to believe their programming should be likened to explosive materials, a new show featuring some of Beantown's boys in blue premieres. The docudrama, called "Boston's Finest," is produced by Donnie Wahlberg of the Dorchester Wahlbergs, otherwise known as "the one that was in New Kids on the Block." The pet project came out of a home-grown respect for the BPD, fostered early on in his childhood.
Wahlberg, who was in town last week for the show's premiere event, told NECN:
"The Boston Police, when I was a kid, they were typically chasing some of my brothers. I was the good kid by the way, rarely saw the inside of a police cruiser in my childhood, but they were also very good to us."
Who better to honor the true spirit of Boston than someone who was raised here? While Wahlberg insists that he wanted to help Hollywood steer clear of the endless parade of the oft parodied Boston accent, the realities of true Beantown life are pervasive throughout the show, thanks to the up close and personal perspective the show assumes. Wahlberg also serves as the voice-over narrator of the series.
"Boston's Finest" debuts tonight, with an hour long episode on TNT at 9 p.m.

I do enjoy Christmas. It's a fun holiday where there is great food, my family comes into town, and there is great mystery surrounding gift giving. I completely understnand that Christmas has become more about material items than the actual reason we are supposed to celebrate (the birth of Jesus Christ),but one part of the materialistic part of Christmas I do enjoy is what I call the WOW Factor. When I give a gift on Christmas morning, I not only want the recepient to enjoy the gift, but i want their face to show something different from their normal expression – nothing fake but pure and authentic suprise.
Lots of people give me Christmas lists to go off of which is nice and easy for those who don't want to put in a lot of effort into their gift giving. It's not that they don't care, but people are busy or want to make sure that their loved ones get what they want so they just stick to the list. For me it is another area in my life that I like to take a risk, and just like with any risk it can pay off big or you may lose big. However, unlike when you lose money, gift biving is actually fairly safe as long as you got a gift receipt. So for me, it is worth trying to get the WOW out of people than it is playing it safe.
This year I did well with two gifts that both got pretty big WOWs in my opinion. The first was a gift to my brother. He unwrapped the gift and found an M&Ms box inside. At first he didn't want to open it and actually commented that he wasn't going to open it because he though I had put custom phrases on the M&Ms that were making fun of him. Once he took the top off of the box, his face lit up as he saw his face on some of the M&Ms and the name Big Willy on the others. This was nothing something he asked for, but he liked it and the custom M&Ms were not something that he was expecting. The other gift that my brother, sister in Law and I did for our Dad that was definately NOT on his list was an iPad. It was the last gift we gave on Christmas morning, but it by far got the biggest WOW factor of the day. We all knew he would enjoy the iPad and was definately not expecting anything like it for Christmas. He coudln't really believe; at first he thought we had wrapped another gift inside of the iPad box.
Overall, I had a great Christmas and got a few great WOWs out of it. Someday, I hope to get a WOW as big as my brother did last year. It was, by far the biggest WOW i've ever seen and got that reaction by multiple people at the same time. I am currently plotting on how to achieve this and it will be legendary!
Do you try to WOW with your Christmas gifts? What is the biggest WOW you've gotten or given?

UNCG falls to The Citadel in 8-7 SoCon nailbiter
CHARLESTON, SC – After coming back from a five-run deficit, UNC Greensboro nearly notched its first road sweep over The Citadel in 10 years. But a ninth inning double broke a 7-7 tie and gave the Bulldogs the 8-7, Sunday afternoon victory at Riley Park in Charleston, SC.
A three-run blast in the home half of the first inning by Chris McGuiness and a two-run shot in the second by Chris Swauger gave the Bulldogs the early 5-0 lead. After falling back 6-1 after five innings, UNCG snatched the lead out of The Citadel's paws with three-run rallies in the sixth and seventh inning, but a wild pitch in the bottom of seven knotted the game at 7-7. The game remained tied until Sonny Meade shot the ball into the right field corner to bring in Bryan Altman for the game winning run.
With the Sunday conference victory, the Bulldogs improve to 23-17, 11-7 SoCon. The Spartans are now 24-14, 10 5 SoCon.
The Bulldogs jumped out with a five-run lead with home runs in the opening two innings. In the first, McGuiness let one fly over the left field wall just inside the foul pole to score three. In the next inning, Chris Swauger gave the Bulldogs the 5-0 lead with a two-run shot of his own.
In the third, shortstop Matt Gaski singled up the middle to plate catcher Adam Deleo, but The Citadel answered right back with an RBI double to put the score at 6-1.
UNCG took The Citadel three-up, three down in the fourth and in the fifth, reliever Warren Slack tossed two bases loaded strikeouts to hold the Bulldogs silent before the Spartans went on a three-run rally in the sixth. Back-to-back walks loaded the bases for right fielder Sean Snell to drive one in with a single through the left side. In the next at-bat, centerfielder Corey Overholtzer slapped a double into the right center gap to bring around first baseman Ricky Orton and second baseman Tim Carrier.
The blue and gold took a 7-6 lead in the seventh with their second three-run rally of the afternoon. Gaski started things off with a left center double to plate left fielder Pedro Leon from first. He was then brought in off of a sacrifice fly to center field to tie the game at 6-6. The Spartans took the one-run lead as Snell singled through the left side to drive Orton in from second.
The Bulldogs knotted the game at 7-7 in the home half of the seventh inning by way of a wild pitch. In the bottom of the ninth, the Bulldogs broke the tie with a game-winning double to right field by Sonny Meade.
The Citadel's Matt Reifsnider (4-2) tallied the win after coming to the mound late in the game. UNCG's James White (5-1) took his first loss of the season after coming in to pitch in the ninth.
The Spartans will remain at home all this coming week as they host Duke on Tuesday and NC State on Wednesday. Both games a slated for a 6pm start time at UNCG Baseball Stadium. The blue and gold will follow-up with a three-game weekend conference series with the league-leading Elon Phoenix.

Barely open two months and we're already seeing a problem with the new Interstate 69 expansion. The new stretch of interstate is starting to sink in Pike County. Many Hoosiers are now wondering what the state plans to do. During a visit to the Tri-State today, Governor Mike Pence says he guarantees the remaining phases of I-69 will be complete and he plans to speak with the Indiana Department of Transportation on the sinking issue and repairs. INDOT says they anticipated the settling since the new road is built over a coal mine.

With just over a week until next week's referendum, a London cab company is lashing out against the proposed late night bus service, calling it an attack on the taxi industry.
The March 18 referendum will pose three questions, among them whether students want to pay $12.15 for a late night bus program. The nearly $370,000 initiative would pay for buses around campus and downtown from 11 p.m. to 1:50 a.m. Thursday to Sunday.
It's a proposal that Yellow London Taxi owner Hasan Savehilaghi is campaigning against.
"This is an attempt to damage the taxi industry," he said. "Really, this is a deal made behind closed doors between the student council and Aboutown."
Savehilaghi cited safety and service as his two main concerns, noting students will still have to walk home from campus or the few bus stops offered on the routes. He also argued while all students will pay the mandatory $12.15 fee, not all students will use it.
On Tuesday, the London Taxi Association had a meeting where several taxi drivers — including some from Aboutown — raised the issue, according to Savehilaghi. Aboutown had a separate meeting yesterday and Savehilaghi expected drivers raised concerns over the transportation issue there as well.
Meaghan Coker, vice-president university affairs for the University Students' Council, said the idea was introduced after years of demand — both from students wanting easier transportation and city officials wanting to end drunken congestion on Richmond Row.
The USC has a tentative deal with Aboutown — London's largest cab company — to provide the same shuttle buses they use on campus. Coker said the buses would improve safety for students attempting to travel home from the bar district.
"The complaints we've heard are that students are stranded downtown and can't get a cab. They need to be able to get home at that time of night, and the only option is to walk or wait several hours or fight each other for cabs," she said, adding the complaints came from London's city council and local police.
The idea, Coker said, is to not only transport students from downtown, but to transport students home after studying late at night on campus.
But Savehilaghi was unconvinced, saying the buses would only exacerbate safety concerns by concentrating belligerent students in one location.
"I drove a cab myself for 13 years and I know how the atmosphere is after midnight," he said. "A taxi would take four people. They can be easily contained and communicated with and negotiated with. But when they're on a bus, how are you going to control them?"
The USC has included one security guard per bus in their budget, something Coker said could be adjusted depending on student safety.
"I think it's a flexible model," she said, adding the buses shouldn't be thought of as strictly transportation from Richmond Row. "That's not what we're doing. That's a shortsighted view of what a late night bus shuttle could be."
Next week's referendum will include two other questions: whether students want to pay for a 12-month bus pass and whether a Western club should receive guaranteed funding.
Coker said the referendum is the best way to let students decide. But for the vote to stand, at least 5,200 students must vote — a significant challenge considering February's much-hyped USC presidential election netted 8,095 votes, representing 31 per cent of the student population.

Written by PETA
Last month, Amali, a 5-year-old giraffe, got an unnatural knot in her neck from an injury sustained in-transit to the Tulsa Zoo, where she was expected to breed with a male giraffe. After weeks of treatment with ineffective drugs, Amali's neck remained crooked. A few days ago, zoo veterinarians prepared her for an X-ray procedure, but soon after sedation, Amali died.
Amali's disability may have looked unusual, but her tragic passing is an all-too-ordinary occurrence for giraffes at zoos. Captive giraffes frequently die as a result of inadequate care and space. Veterinary neglect is often lethal—as it was in 2005 for a giraffe named Kenya at the Columbus Zoo after the zoo's chief veterinarian administered the wrong drug during surgery. In 2006, Makena, a 1-year-old giraffe, fatally broke her neck while she struggled to free herself after her head became wedged in a small space at the Lee Richardson Zoo in Kansas. Earlier last year, Dusti died from strangulation when he became entangled in a pulley system at Brookfield Zoo in Illinois. The year before, Makonnen, a 2-year-old giraffe, died in a barn fire at Six Flags in Vallejo, Cali.
Giraffes belong in the wild, not in enclosures that offer many opportunities for these curious animals to become injured. If you notice abuse or mistreatment of animals in your local zoo, file a report. Your observations and documentation can save lives that would otherwise be lost to neglect and carelessness.
