part of the orchestral series
Guest conductor Karina Canellakis, winner of the 2016 Sir Georg Solti Conducting Award, makes her second LACO appearance since 2015 in a program featuring Dai Fujikura's Secret Forest, Beethoven's Symphony No. 2 in D Major and Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 in C Minor performed by David Fray, a "gifted pianist" (Chicago Tribune). Fujikura's work has been described as "a riot of imaginative bird and insect noise – a private utopia well worth exploring" (The Guardian). Canellakis received glowing critical praise for her performances since first making headlines in 2014 filling in last-minute for Jaap van Zweden with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in Shostakovich's 8th symphony. She made her European conducting debut last June with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe at the Styriarte Festival in Graz, Austria, replacing the late Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and served for two seasons through 2015-16 as assistant conductor of the Dallas Symphony, during which time she conducted over 60 performances with the orchestra. Fray, heralded for his "exquisite, imaginative, and virtuosic" performances (Epoch Times), was BBC Music Magazine's 2008 "Newcomer of the Year" and is the subject of the documentary Swing, Sing and Think.
Concert Preludes are fun, informative and free to all ticket holders.
Join us one hour before each concert in the theatre. Some Preludes feature LIVE performances of short chamber works. All provide interesting insights into the music and the artists.
The US Premiere of Dai Fujikura's Secret Forest is sponsored by Raulee Marcus.

Rihanna has apologized to fans in Boston, Massachusetts after she was forced to axe the second date of her new world tour due to a bout of laryngitis.
The Umbrella hitmaker kicked off the Diamonds World Tour in Buffalo, New York on Friday (08Mar13), but she had to scrap her Sunday night (10Mar13) show at the TD Garden in Boston after falling sick.
A statement posted on the venue's website reads, "The Rihanna Diamonds World Tour previously scheduled for this evening in Boston has been postponed... Unfortunately, following her sold out concert on Friday Rihanna has contracted laryngitis and per doctor's instruction is unable to perform this evening. Boston fans are instructed to retain their tickets pending rescheduling show date information."
Rihanna also reached out to her Twitter.com fans to thank them for their support, writing, "BOSTON this is the hardest thing for me to deal with! I feel like we've been waiting on this day forever, and I'm hurt that I let you down... I hate disappointing people that never ever let me down!! I'm so embarrassed about this! Thank you for your prayers and well wishes!"
Rihanna is due back on stage in Baltimore, Maryland on Tuesday (12Mar13).

IHTM: I Tried a Skincare Product That Jacked Up My Skin Barrier So Here's How I Handled It
I basically called my mom for help. Except when I say mom, I mean an esthetician.
One of my proudest achievements, next to having a rather uncanny ability to guess celebrity lookalikes, was the fact that I had never gotten my eyebrows waxed.
It was my ice-breaker at cocktail parties (invitations have been slow lately, BTW), my go-to during awkward silences, just something I always liked to mention for shock value.
"Never?!" people would ask. "Not once?!" they'd scream, incredulously.
I'd shake my head and smile modestly, "No, jamais--which means never in French."
The truth is, my eyebrows have always been relatively thin and light, and I've always been a fan of Brooke Shields (and, since meeting her a few weeks ago, Annie). So the last thing I wanted to do was get rid of them, you know?
On my way home recently, however, I passed by a very pristine-looking brow bar overflowing with young, stylish ladies, decked out in Rag & Bone's finest, carrying Proenza Shouler PS1 bags. The ladies I can only aspire to be! I had to be around them! So without thinking twice or looking both ways, I ran across the street and entered the salon.
Immediately, I was thrilled I did. The ladies welcomed me with bright white smiles and perfectly framed faces under exquisitely arched eyebrows.
"Have a seat!" Tamarinda (name changed to conceal her identity), the Eyebrow Master, said warmly as she guided me toward a tall, white, leather-bound stool.
I sat and closed my eyes: "I'm all yours."
And boy, was I! Stephanie (oops) trimmed, waxed and tweezed my brows in under five minutes, making for an overall very pleasant waxing experience. My eyebrows appeared shaped and structured without looking any thinner at all.
I smiled, paid, and left happy. Oh, and tipped. Let that be known. I don't want a bad rap.
But that's not even the point of the story! See, I have very sensitive skin, which, since the waxing, has erupted into a vicious rash all along my temples and part of my forehead. A fierce red trail lines my eyebrows as a shingles-like reminder that I got waxed.
Knowing an irritation was likely, I, of course, immediately applied both Aquaphor and my trusty Vitacilina (there's my Mexican reference for this post) to the area directly following the procedure. But to no avail! My forehead is an angry outbreak of seemingly adult-onset acne, and my usual blemish remedies have failed me.
I run to the mirror every morning like Marcia Brady after she gets hit in the nose with the football (Was that just in the movie? If you haven't seen the movie, watch it--it's hilarious. Even my mom likes it, and she doesn't usually take to American entertainment. [She's Mexican.] That's two!) only to find a redder and harsher eruption on my face.
People at work started to notice this morning. And I got the wax a week ago! So I fled the office for Duane Reade (naturally, I picked up a few other things that I had to have--who knew Beanie Babies were back?!) a few minutes ago, where I was recommended Cortizone-10 ointment, for skin irritations, inflammation, and rashes.
I'll keep you posted on the recovery. In the meantime, have you had a similar experience? How did you get the post-wax rash to go away? How can I prevent it from happening again? (Ha! Like I'd ever do this again.)

One of the post processing skills I've worked on during my hiatus is Compositing. This is simply added elements to a photo from another photo and blending them so they look like they could have been part of the original scene. Just to be clear though, I consider the final product to be photo art not a photo and when I post these images I identify them as composites in the 'tags', comments or sometimes in the title. Having said that, it's a fun, albeit time consuming, exercise.
I find, the most useful (for my purposes) reason to use compositing, is to switch out a boring or bland background with something more interesting. For example this image, which isn't all that exciting to begin with, can take on a dramatic flair with a new background.
The foreground was shot here in Florida at a local electric substation and the sunset background I shot a couple of years ago in Illinois. By the way, I don't intend to do a tutorial on how to composite as there are plenty of videos available that teach it. But, for information purposes, I used the layers feature of the ON One Photo Suite. I really like the editing tools in this software.
Here are a couple of other composites I shot using the local electric sub-station as the foreground…
Here's an example where I replaced the background behind Japanese White-Eyes. This was a case where I sandwiched the image between 2 copies of the background image. The bottom layer is at full opacity and I used it to eliminate the original background. The top layer was applied at a very low opacity. The purpose was to apply some of the hue from the background to the bird without applying the actual texture of the background. Hope that makes sense.
Sometimes I use a composite methodology to add elements to the foreground. Birds in flight is the best example. Sometimes,it's kinda neat to show the flight path across the screen with multiple images stacked into one photo. This Osprey is a great example.
Or, just compile a whole bunch of shots like this Tern flying around the marsh waiting to dive bomb it's prey
In any case, that's how I've been using Composites. I hope I gave you some ideas and thanks for stopping by.

Peruse the list by category:
Consumer Tech Smart Dudes and Dudettes Tech Insiders Informative Blogs Sponsored by Major Publications/Organizations Wonderfully Geeky Blogs Operating Systems: Linux-Open Source - Windows - Mac Highly Recommended
Exemplary tech blogs across a wide array of subject matter.
Pogue's Posts Brilliant stuff about personal technology, from the iPhone to email to camcorders. There are very few tech pundits who are as insightful yet plain-spoken as David Pogue, the New York Times gadget guy.
Slashdot The geekier-than-thou, constantly churning meta-blog is an irreverent center of the online tech world. To be noticed by the likes of Zonk, Cowboy Neal, ScuttleMonkey, ComdrTaco these individuals are demi-gods. It's their world; we only live in it.
Joho the Blog David Weinberger is a heavyweight tech thinker, co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto and author of Small Pieces, Loosely Joined. Hes also a philosophy professor, a comedy writer and, well, a bunch of other things. Joho the Blog is his meditation on the Internet and anything else that trips the light fantastic.
Secret Diary of Steve Jobs (a.k.a. "The Fake Steve Jobs") We now know that this wonderfully amusing blog is actually penned by Forbes senior editor Dan Lyons. Although fictional, his skewering of Jobs is virtuosic. Sample post: "DUDE, I INVENTED THE FRIGGIN IPHONE. HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT?"
Occam's Razor by Avinash Kaushik The world is a better place because Avinash Kaushik is in it. A SEO guru, author of the popular book Web Analytics: An Hour a Day he not only knows his stuff, he puts out with charm and generosity. (Hes donating his book proceeds to charity.) No e-commerce entrepreneur should miss this blog.
Paul McNamara McNamara can be quite entertaining, and his take on corporate and personal tech never wastes a word. His post Rove quitting to spend more time with his iPhone is a must read.
Nicholas Carr A serious smart guy/deep thinker and tremendous writer who riled tech vendors with his Does IT Matter thesis. Far ranging and very interesting.
Joi Itos Web Ito, a vice president at Technorati and an open source advocate, really gets around. In addition to tech issues his chronicles include anything from John Perry Barlow to the Dali Lama.
Robert X. Cringely The original Cringely (there are more than one -- it's a long story) can be found on the PBS site. Having earned his street cred with decades in the tech biz, Cringely (the pen name of Mark Stephens) writes with a sharp anti-conformist bent.
Simon Phipp's "SunMink in the Sun" Suns chief open source officer is an interesting fellow. UK-based and highly literate, hes aware of the politics as well as the technology of software.
Schneier on Security Is there a more famous security guru than Bruce Schneier? Whats impressive about his blog is the expansive reach of his subject matter: software and hardware, sure, but also security issues in a larger societal context.

Bill Resto is a photographer and digital artist based in San Diego, California. His company is Pixel Elegance.
The craft, character and unique style of Bill's images is immediately obvious and yet of a depth which transcends anything akin to obvious.
Perhaps choice in models?
His sometimes painterly perspective?
Well certainly these; and, so much more too…
"I am a self-taught photographer and artist.
Inspired by the passion and creativity of others – painters, sculptors, photographers, models, dancers and nature itself – I find myself constantly astounded and absorbed by the process as much as the product.
In my work, I see myself more as coordinator than inventor.
I search for models with whom I can collaborate, rather than models who must be directed.
I look for models who have passion for exploration and emotional exposure, models whose spirits can be easily captured.
Together, we explore movement and story, inventing situations and developing characters as we go.
In post production, each photograph begins to tell its own story.
I listen and respond as the final image develops.
Sometimes a photograph will lead me down several paths before the 'real' story is revealed.
I try to work without preconception, to stay present in the moment of the journey and avoid focusing on the destination.
The ideas I most appreciate are those that arrive in moments of stillness.
While I am often pleased and impressed by my own work, the process is always more exciting for me than the finished photo.
I am obsessed with color, palette, texture, mood, and light.
I may ruminate for days over minor details the casual observer will never see.
The laborious nature of the work can be emotionally and spiritually draining; but, I would not trade the passion of creation for anything in my life.
A life without creativity or passion is a life unlived."

Chapter 1
Hello to all who is reading this is my first shot at this so take it easy lol
The key to this build is Double Up and Make it rain knowing when to use these is key early on double up is what keeps your enemy champs to haft to recall and tower hugin and gives you advantage at farming minions What you do is throw down Make it rain on them not infront but on them or behind them cause if they're stupid they'll run into it
Knowing when to use Impure Shots is what people have trouble with when you are taking out a tower use it when you use your ulti use but be conscience of your mana cause you can drain it using this to much.
Bullet time is really deadly when used right because groups spread out like roaches from light its funny also using Impure Shots with this is amazing because of the extra damage
First thing you should buy is Ruby Crystal then head mid (or top or bot depending on who you have on your team, but mid is recommended cause of mount of leveling you can do solo)stay in the lane till you have 1500-2000 depending on who you are fighting, you shouldn't haft to recall until that point.
Buy Phage to give you more health and more survivability in the lane also get Boots of speed or Boots of Swiftness depending on how much gold you got then get back to you lane.
Keep farming minions till about 1500-2000 recall and get you boots if you didn't last time and get Frozen Mallet then again back to the lane by this time you should be about 10-13 level wise
At this time you will be hard to kill and fast again go your lane and farm gold then head back and pick up recurve bow or last whisper if you have enough gold.
You should be ganking top or bottom its best to cordinate your ganks with who is having most trouble in there lanes
Early Game:1-9 Level Basically farm mid and get your Items built as soon as you can.
Mid Game:9-15 You should have Boots of Swiftness+Frozen Mallet. Ganking is very fun at this time because Double Up hits So hard and the slowing effect from Make It Rain makes it hard for them to run away Using exhaust at this time is the key because they cant run when slowed.
End Game:15-18 At this point you should be pushing towers at there base and keeping minions from pushing lanes to your towers also this is when Bullet time becomes its deadliest because when its choatic and they are grouped up cause of the amount of damage it does.

Women & Power: A Manifesto
|Mary Beard
"A modern feminist classic."--The Guardian
From the internationally acclaimed classicist and New York Times best-selling author comes this timely manifesto on women and power.
At long last, Mary Beard addresses in one brave book the misogynists and trolls who mercilessly attack and demean women the world over, including, very often, Mary herself. In Women & Power, she traces the origins of this misogyny to its ancient roots, examining the pitfalls of gender and the ways that history has mistreated strong women since time immemorial. As far back as Homer's Odyssey, Beard shows, women have been prohibited from leadership roles in civic life, public speech being defined as inherently male. From Medusa to Philomela (whose tongue was cut out), from Hillary Clinton to Elizabeth Warren (who was told to sit down), Beard draws illuminating parallels between our cultural assumptions about women's relationship to power--and how powerful women provide a necessary example for all women who must resist being vacuumed into a male template. With personal reflections on her own online experiences with sexism, Beard asks: If women aren't perceived to be within the structure of power, isn't it power itself we need to redefine? And how many more centuries should we be expected to wait?
The gender agenda revisited
Praise for Mary Beard: 'She's pulled off that rare trick of becoming a don with a high media profile who hasn't sold out, who is absolutely respected by the academy for her scholarship ... what she says is always powerful and interesting * Guardian * An irrepressible enthusiast with a refreshing disregard for convention * FT * With such a champion as Beard to debunk and popularise, the future of the study of classics is assured * Daily Telegraph * Dynamically, wittily and authoritatively brings the ancient world to life -- Simon Sebag Montefiore Praise for SPQR: Fast-moving, exciting, psychologically acute, warmly sceptical -- Bryan Appleyard * Sunday Times * Vastly engaging ... a tremendously enjoyable and scholarly read. -- Natalie Haynes * Observer * Sustaining the energy that such a topic demands for more than 600 pages, while providing a coherent answer to the question of why Rome expanded so spectacularly, is hugely ambitious. Beard succeeds triumphantly ... full of insights and delights ... SPQR is consistently enlivened by Beard's eye for detail and her excellent sense of humour. * Sunday Times * Masterful ... This is exemplary popular history, engaging but never dumbed down, providing both the grand sweep and the intimate details that bring the distant past vividly to life * Economist * Ground-breaking ... invigorating ... revolutionary ... a whole new approach to ancient history -- Thomas Hodgkinson * Spectator * This book is a treasure, both as a fascinating read in itself and as a fine work of reference to correct our lazy misconceptions about an ancient world that still has much to instruct us today * Herald *

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I will post a longer description of How to play this build later. I don't want to give you a TLDR wall of text so here is the basic strat.
Start by hitting squishies with your Corrosive-Charge, once your target is inflicted with the de-buff use what summoner abilities you must to get close enough to use your normal attack powered by Terror-Capacitor. If they are about to get within range of a turret, ult them to maximize the ***-Whooping's duration.
In team fights you want to draw out the enemy's DPS. To do so you may want to walk a bit close to your enemy team. As soon as spells start flying towards you proc Terror-Capacitor to soak up some of the damage. Target the highest DPS with your ult as soon as you can, your team should then proceed to target down your victim while you spam Acid-Hunter on any low HP targets.
This goes for any Range hero with a low attack speed.
Between each attack move towards your target to gain ground for guarantee kills. You should be able to develop the rhythm too his tango of death.
Use Wriggle's Lantern to anticipate ganks, scout baron, and to scout dragon. this nice bonus ability can win you some vital team fights.

TBT-ban convention ratified
The international convention banning the use of organotins, such as TBT, in anti-fouling paints has finally been ratified by sufficient countries to bring it into force.
Panama signed up on Monday. That took the number of states ratifying the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on Ships (AFS Convention) to 25, with a combined 38.11 percent of world merchant tonnage and the convention will enter into force on September 17, 2008.
Currently, use of TBT-containing paints is constrained by a patchwork of regional and national rules.
With the AFS Convention in force, ships will no longer be permitted to apply or re-apply organotin compounds in their anti-fouling systems. Ships already having such compounds on their hulls will have to be sealed with a coating that forms a barrier to prevent the compounds leaching from the underlying non-compliant anti-fouling systems.
The AFS Convention also establishes a mechanism to evaluate and assess other anti-fouling systems and prevent the potential future use of other harmful substances in these systems.
The convention will apply to ships flying the flag of a party to the convention, as well as ships not entitled to fly their flag but which operate under their authority and to all ships that enter a port, shipyard or offshore terminal of a party. It will apply to all ships, including fixed or floating platforms, floating storage units (FSUs), and floating production storage and off-loading units (FPSOs).

City Item Libraries
What are city items?
City items are imported DXF CAD models which can be placed in your model.
You can assign data to these city items such as floor areas, land uses, energy use and custom parameters. This data is then accounted for alongside normal CityCAD blocks in your model.
Unlike normal CityCAD blocks, city items can include much more architectural detail. They are useful for adding context to a masterplan or importing buildings or blocks that have already been designed. A few models are included with CityCAD such as a bus stop, sports field and some urban buildings.
Creating city items
You may want to create your own library of buildings and other objects. For example, you can use Google Sketchup or other CAD applications to create a model, then export it to DXF, and then import it into CityCAD where you can add floor areas, land uses and other data.

Some developers think being part of a Scrum team is like paradise: you can do whatever you want, and even better: the manager is there to serve you. Wrong!

Puebla, Mexico Program
Arrupe International
Trip Destination
Puebla, Mexico
Trip Dates
Approximately 8–10 days at the end of Winter Break
Coordinating Organizations
Boston College Campus Ministry, in collaboration with Community Links International, an organization that has partnered with BC delegations for many years.
Important Safety Information: view the U.S. Department of State Travel Warning for travel by U.S. citizens in Mexico and a response from the Arrupe Program's longtime in-country partner organization coordinating the Puebla trip, Community Links International.
Community Links International Mission
"Community Links is a service-learning, volunteer, and international educational organization. Through cross-border, cross-cultural immersion experiences we provide people of all ages and backgrounds the chance to learn about the interconnectedness of our local, national, and global realities. We also teach participants to recognize how our lifestyles, values, choices and consumption patterns affect people, cultures and the environment the world over . . .
One of our main goals is to connect the local with the global. By local we mean that reality which deals with immediate personal relationships, truly representative and inclusive political participation and community value systems. We strive to create economic, political and social systems that nurture local communities and individuals. Specifically, our programs are aimed at strengthening local developmental processes, micro-entrepreneurial efforts and ecological recovery. We continuously explore our worlds and analyze our assumptions through experimental learning, and we constantly re-evaluate our efforts and results so as to adjust strategically for the future. In this way, we create a solid base from which to deal with the larger global issues."
Puebla, Mexico Trip Itinerary
The BC delegation travels to Puebla, and the surrounding area, in central Mexico, where they collaborate with in-country partner organization, Community Links International, in creating their service immersion experience. While in Puebla and the surrounding area, participants spend time each day sharing in various work projects along with the people of the local community. Much of the service work is agricultural in nature. There are also opportunities in the afternoons to spend time with children in an after-school program. Participants hear from various community leaders involved in people-empowered initiatives to learn about the issues facing the local community and engage in discussions on the social, economic, political, and religious dynamics that continue to affect Mexico, and specifically the Puebla region and its people. Participants also have the opportunity to visit la Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla, the local Jesuit University, to explore how the Jesuit mission is being actualized locally.
Additionally, participants spend a few days with families in Cholula, a nearby community that continues to struggle in poverty. Cholula will once again host B.C.'s delegation and share with participants their life experience.

Odd title I know, but bear with me here.
My wife and I are in the home stretch with our utility room remodel so have been able to get my workshop back into some semblance of order. I've also been able to mount my VFD to the wall and get the Unisaw in place with the T2 fence mounted. The workshop is still in disarray until this remodel is completed so I cannot get to a lot of my equipment just yet. However, life has introduced another wrinkle that we are dealing with.
My 87 year old mother who has been confined to a bed for the last 9 months is probably on her way to a nursing home and I'm having a hard time coming to grips with that.
You see, my brother and his wife, me and my wife have been caring for mom these last 9 months. Basically I stay with her every morning while he works then in the afternoon once he is done I go to work. All the in-between-times both our wives take care of her.BTW, you really know you've married an angel when you see your wife tend to your own mother's basic needs. It really takes all 4 of us to make this work. A few weeks ago my sister-in-law's cancer returned and now we just cannot provide the necessary care for mom that she needs.
So, the whole business of getting her to a facility that can take care of her is so depressing. In fact, that is how I spent most of Mother's Day weekend, trying to find a place that we all feel comfortable having mom stay. It is during these "low" times I like to escape to the workshop and a little therapy but as I said I can't do much until the remodel is complete.
Below are some pictures of what I have been able to do recently.
Here's the VFD mounted with the disconnect switch.
Here are the Unisaw's electrical guts that have been replaced by the VFD.
Here's the T2 fence mounted. I love the fence! And I love the saw! I've made a few cuts with it and all I can say is, 3HP/3 phase power is a lovely thing!

HIGH TIMES: Standing 6 feet tall doesn't deter Brooke Shields from taking it up a notch. "I love heels. I love the way they make my legs look," chimed the actress, who stopped by Saks Fifth Avenue on Thursday in a vertiginous pair of Jimmy Choo heels, Donna Karan sheath and Kimberly McDonald jewels for the launch of Choo's 24:7 collection. "In the daytime, however, flats are a little more sensible to run around with my children."
"Gossip Girl" actress Jessica Szohr also stopped by the fete, which was hosted by Jimmy Choo president and founder Tamara Mellon, Saks' chairman and chief executive officer Stephen I. Sadove and Harper's Bazaar editor in chief Glenda Bailey. "I'm a huge fan of Jimmy Choo," said Szohr, who donned a cherry red pair. "I'm looking for shoes for fashion week."
CLOSING SHOP: Anthony Nak, the 11-year-old CFDA Award-winning jewelry brand based in Austin, Tex., is closing.
Co-founders Anthony Camargo and Nak Armstrong, who designed the collection, have parted ways. Armstrong is readying to launch his own namesake line of one-of-a-kind fine jewelry pieces. Camargo, according to Armstrong, has moved from Austin to Thailand. Camargo could not be reached for comment.
The firm closed its Austin flagship boutique in January 2009, when it had all but stopped wholesaling jewelry. Only a small group of retailers continue to sell the last of their Anthony Nak inventory. The brand was once sold in top-tier fashion and jewelry stores such as Barneys New York. The company also has halted its line with QVC, which offered low-ticket items in silver with semiprecious stones. "We started to go down this path mentally before the economy crashed," said Armstrong, who explained the duo simply had different goals. "I honestly believe we'd be going out of this business regardless [of the recession] because we decided to move on individually.
TIME ON SKATES: Just in the nick of time, Omega has signed Apolo Anton Ohno to serve as an ambassador for the brand. Ohno, the U.S. short course speed skating star, is a three-time Olympian and a top contender at the 2010 Games, which opened Friday. He has qualified for three individual events and one relay event, and if he captures two medals, will surpass Bonnie Blair as the U.S.' most decorated Winter Olympian. As part of his deal with Omega, Ohno will wear the company's Seamaster Planet Ocean Olympic Timeless Collection Chronograph and will visit the watch brand's newly opened boutique in Vancouver following his races. He also will visit the Omega flagship in New York City at the conclusion of the Games. Omega has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932.
NO RESERVATION NEEDED: Thursday marked the launch of Unreserved, a fashion and art internship program that aims to pair Native American talent looking to develop their artistic and business skills with established designers and artists. To kick off the fashion aspect, the group held a showcase of six Native American designers — Maya Stewart, Kenneth Johnson, Maria Samora and Veronica and Dylan Poblano in accessories and Patricia Michaels in ready-to-wear. Founders Michael Chapman and Gail Bruce secured funding from the Kellogg Foundation and boast Donna Karan, Diane von Furstenberg, Nanette Lepore, Daryl Kerrigan and Pamela Love among the participants.
FASHION DREAM: Diane von Furstenberg is no stranger to celebrities in her front row, but on Sunday, she will have a special guest. Latoya Headley always dreamed of attending a fashion show. She was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, which paralyzed her from the waist down, in 2007, and the 25-year-old recently wrote about her wish to the Dream Foundation. The Alexandria, Va., native also will lunch with Lyn Devon before attending the DVF show with her sister, Naima, and on Monday will get a tour of the Oscar de la Renta showroom, lunch and a shopping experience at Bergdorf Goodman, and then head down to the West Village to take in the fall Donna Karan Collection show. Diva Limos will be driving her around town, and Dream Foundation arranged for the airfare and hotel stay at Hotel Mela. "I have always had a passion for style and fashion, so this is truly a dream come true for me," Headley said. "I feel so blessed by the way Dream Foundation — and these amazing designers — have rallied to make this a incredible and memorable experience."
P IS FOR PIQUE: According to Lacoste, A is for attitude. The retailer behind the iconic croc logo is launching a book to pay homage to the brand, in the style of the ABC's. Penned by French sports writer Olivier Margot and published by Assouline, "Lacoste: The Element of Style," recounts the rise of the activewear house from the tennis court to the runway. Each volume is jacketed in the brand's signature piqué fabric. The 180-page tome doesn't hit shelves until next month, but those attending today's Lacoste presentation will be given a copy.
IN HONOR OF KEITH: On Thursday night, the House of Field launched its Paradise Garage Collection to commemorate the death of controversial Eighties artist Keith Haring. "We have to keep his work alive for the younger generation," Field said. Party girls Kelly Osbourne and Susanne Bartsch made appearances and felt right at home in the alternative fashion/club kid crowd, all of whom were sweating it out to a live performance by Danger Muse. After a quick runway show, the collection — which featured a few startlingly wearable representations of Haring's work in metallic and electric colored prints — was displayed on mannequins for the duration of the party on the bottom floor of Good Units on 57th Street.
MORE MOORE: Milan Fashion Week will get a dose of stardom courtesy of Bulgari, as actress Julianne Moore is slated to attend the Italian jewelry house's cocktail on Feb. 26. Moore appears in Bulgari's latest ad campaign photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. During the cocktail, Bulgari will present its accessories collection, now designed by a team, as Gianluca Lera, who helped spearhead the company's push into accessories, exited the company last fall.

You can use one of three approaches to Active Directory (AD) data manipulation. First and most common is using the limited set of Microsoft Management Console (MMC) tools that Windows 2000 provides. No Web-based tools ship with Win2K to manipulate AD, but you can download a Web-based tool called Active Directory Web Administrator, which I wrote and presented at Microsoft TechEd 2000, from my company's Web site. Go to the InterKnowlogy Web site, and scroll down to "TechEd (6-411) Windows DNA with Middle Tier Active Directory COM+ Objects." This tool lets you modify user data in AD in a spreadsheet-like view.
Second, you can write code to manipulate data in AD. Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) is the most common programming interface, but it's not for the beginner or faint of heart. Because of the lack of a sufficient AD toolset in Win2K, many administrators with large AD installations are using ADSI to write their own tools or are commissioning companies to do it for them.
Third, you can use a Win2K utility program called ldifde.exe (LDIF Data Exchange) to perform batch updates to AD. To help facilitate exchanging data, ldifde.exe uses LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF), a file format standard used for exchanging data with Directory Services (DSs) such as the Win2K AD. You can use ldifde.exe to
- Export and import data to and from AD (e.g., exporting all the users of one domain to another domain)
- Add, create, and modify data in AD (e.g., adding new users in batch format without having to depend on an administrative console)
- Create schema additions in AD (e.g., adding a new attribute such as favoriteColor to AD schema)
A command-line utility such as ldifde.exe gives you the power to make potentially massive data updates to AD without having to depend on a cumbersome tool such as the MMC Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, which lets you affect one attribute on one user at a time in a form-based GUI. Of course, ldefde.exe is much easier to deploy than a custom solution because you don't have to write code.
Ldifde.exe has a companion called csvde.exe, which uses a Comma Separated Values (CSV) format instead of an LDIF data format. The power here is that you can use Microsoft Excel or some other program that reads .csv files to prepare your data before using the tool to import it. Both tools use the same command-line parameter formats. Unfortunately, you can use csvde.exe only for additions to AD, not for modifications.
Both ldifde.exe and csvde.exe reside in the \winnt\system32 directory; because that directory is "pathed" (i.e., in the DOS search path), you can run the tools from any folder on your Win2K server. (See Win2K Online Help for a summary of the command-line parameters.)
As you might guess, the command-line Help isn't enough to get you started using the ldifde.exe tool. The best reference I've found for ldifde.exe is the Microsoft article "Using LDIFDE to Import/Export Directory Objects to the Active Directory."

The Conveyor Belt is broken!?!?
I am shocked and dismayed!� (Not really – just being a bit sarcastic and melodramatic)
One of the foundations of predicting the climate is that we have some idea of how water moves around the planet.� That water can be in the form of water vapor or liquid water that is flowing in streams, lakes and the oceans.� Since the Earth is approximately 2/3 water and water vapor is the single largest greenhouse gas, the way it acts is very important for understanding climate and predicting the future of climate.

Red Cross Blood Donor and Volunteer Featured on mtvUs "CAUSE EFFECT"
Red Cross volunteer Krysta Leigh Meinzer is featured in Cause Effect, a new multi-platform series from mtvU, MTVs 24-hour college network, profiling standout student activists on college campuses nationwide. Krysta details her passion for blood donations in an episode of the show, which is broadcast on mtvU and available on demand at mtvU.com and Think.MTV.com.
Meinzer is a 21-year-old college senior from North Carolina, majoring in communications at Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory, N.C. Krysta learned first hand about blood donation when she was a child. Her mother and father donated their own blood while her grandfather was undergoing chemotherapy as treatment for leukemia, and Krysta saw how beneficial it was in helping him have a greater chance at a longer, healthier life than he would have experienced otherwise. She currently holds the title of Miss Hendersonville, N.C. 2007, and has set the American Red Cross and blood donation as her platform.
I am honored to be a part of the American Red Cross because its an organization filled with friendly, dedicated people who are committed to making a difference in the world, said Meinzer. When I became Miss Hendersonville, one of my goals was to recruit more blood donors, but I never imagined I would have the opportunity to reach a national audience through mtvU.
mtvU teamed up with Microsoft Corporation through the Windows Live Messenger im Initiative for Cause Effect. Each episode spotlights two remarkable students, examining how theyre using digital tools to effect positive, real world change, and inspiring others to take action and make a difference on pressing social issues.
When she was 17, Krysta began donating blood herself, and started volunteering with the local Red Cross Blood Services region a few years later. Beyond attending blood drives, Meinzer also travels to area schools, teaching students of all ages how blood works throughout the body, and the importance of regular blood donations for patients suffering from traumas and many diseases.
The new mtvU series is an extension of the Windows Live Messenger im Initiative, in which Microsoft donates a portion of the programs advertising revenue to one of several cause-related organizations each time a user has a conversation using the instant messaging software. The Red Cross is one of ten organizations receiving donations through this initiative, and is guaranteed by Microsoft to receive at least $100,000. Individuals can sign-up to support the American Red Cross through the im Initiative by visiting http://im.live.com.
Note: The names of actual companies and products mentioned herein may be the trademarks of their respective owners.
The American Red Cross helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Last year, almost a million volunteers and 35,000 employees helped victims of almost 75,000 disasters; taught lifesaving skills to millions; and helped U.S. service members separated from their families stay connected. Almost 4 million people gave blood through the Red Cross, the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States. The American Red Cross is part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs. The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money, and blood to do its work.

This twist on a classic semifreddo takes just 15 minutes to prep for the freezer. Simply finished off with a drizzle of honey and some vibrant fresh berries. Line a 1kg loaf tin with clingfilm, leaving a 5cm overhang on all sides. Chill in the freezer while you make the semifreddo. Pare 1 thin strip of rind from the lemon, and then cut into very thin strips and set aside to use for decoration. Zest the remainder of the lemon. Crumble 6 of the merginue nests. In a large bowl, whisk the cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold in the yogurt and lemon curd until well combined. Fold through the lemon zest and the crumbled nests. Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and freeze overnight or for a minimum of 12 hrs. Turn onto a platter and remove the clingfilm. Drizzle with the honey, top with the strawberries, raspberries and pared lemon rind, and them crumble over the remaining meringue nests. Leave at room temperature for 10 mins before cutting into slices and serving. See more Italian recipes This dessert is not suitable for refreezing.

Immediate: May 25, 2010 Alicia Steger 516.572.9634 E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Garden City, NY – Karen Chicas' road to the presidency of the Student Government Association (SGA) at Nassau Community College (NCC) has been one that would be familiar to many of NCC's past SGA presidents. "I was in the political science club with Lorenzo (Simpson, 2010-2011 SGA president) and he told me there was a position open as Freshman Senator. I ran and was elected," she remembers. Chicas, a resident of Levittown, became interested in having a voice in College issues, so she decided to run for student government president as well.
During her term as president, Chicas hopes to instill a sense of school spirit in her fellow students by better communicating to them what the College has to offer. "I think that maybe some students and clubs might not know about all the things Nassau Community College can provide to them," she remarked. Chicas believes that students' experience at NCC is what they make of it, and the best way to make the most out of it is to is to work hard in your classes, find out about student life and then get involved in the things that are of interest.After she graduated from MacArthur high school, Chicas wasn't sure what sure what she wanted to pursue. She realizes that a lot of people her age feel the same way she did—and she knows the value of attending NCC in that situation. "I knew that Nassau is a place where you can discover new things about yourself and figure out what you want to do with your life," she said. "I feel like I made the right choice."

Eupierre filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). On December 4, 2013, the bankruptcy estate of Mancha was consolidated into the bankruptcy estate of Eupierre creating a single debtor and bankruptcy estate (the "Debtor"). The Debtor is represented by Winthrop Couchot, P.C.
On July 17, 2013, the United States Trustee appointed the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the "Committee") in the Debtors' bankruptcy case pursuant to Section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Committee consists of three members: Coca-Cola Company, LDC Terra Vista Vilage, LLC and LCAT Enterprises, Inc. The Committee has selected the law firm of Buchalter Nemer as its counsel. Bernard D Bollinger, Jr and Brian Harvey are the principal attorneys responsible for this engagement. This website was created to assist the Committee in providing information to creditors, as well as to solicit and receive comments from such creditors.
On February 17, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Debtor's and Creditor Committee's Joint Disclosure Statement describing the terms of the proposed Debtor's and Creditor Committee's Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the "Joint Plan").

Banfield Sinks Its Teeth Into Pet Dental Health
Survey Finds Nearly One-Third of Pet Owners Unaware Bad Breath is a Serious Health Issue
Feb 06, 2013, 03:12 EST
PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Break out the doggie toothpaste! Today, Banfield Pet Hospital® released startling statistics in conjunction with February's National Pet Dental Health Month in an effort to help pet owners brush up on their dental health knowledge. The survey uncovered that the majority of pet owners are unaware that if their pet's breath smells funny, it's probably serious—which means bad breath can be a sign of a greater health problem that may be going unnoticed at home. The reality is that bad breath is an early indicator of dental disease which is the most common disease in pets, affecting 78 percent of dogs and 68 percent of cats over the age of three.
Conducted by The Pert Group, a market research company, the survey found that more than half of dog owners (57 percent) admit their pet has bad breath, yet only six percent cite the smell as a reason to schedule a dental cleaning. If that's not enough of a concern, chew on this: 59 percent of pet owners surveyed did not know that dental disease is the most common disease found in cats and dogs.
Loving pet owners are also citing bad breath as a reason to create some space between themselves and their pooch. According to the survey, nearly one-third (27 percent) of dog owners indicated that they have purposely avoided close cuddle time with their lovable pup because of bad breath. Perhaps this is because 50 percent of dog owners surveyed liken their pet's breath to the smell of old garbage!
Despite this foul-smelling feedback, 62 percent of dog owners aren't taking action to alleviate their pet's bad breath and only one-third of pet owners have taken their dog (38 percent) or cat (29 percent) to the veterinarian for a professional cleaning. What pet owners may not realize is that pet dental health is just as important as human dental health. As with humans, dental disease in dogs and cats has been associated with changes in liver, kidney and cardiac functions.
"It's a little concerning that more than half of dog owners believe their pet has bad breath but only a small percent would actually seek medical advice from a veterinarian. What pet owners don't realize is that bad breath is often an indicator of something serious. Many people believe that bad dog breath is normal—it's actually not," said Jeffrey Klausner, DVM, senior vice president and chief medical officer for Banfield Pet Hospital. "Because dental disease is the most common disease affecting dogs and cats over the age of three, it's critical that pet owners partner with their veterinarian when it comes to their pet's preventive care, especially their oral health. Simple steps such as twice-yearly visits to the veterinarian and annual professional cleanings are important to keeping pets healthy and happy."
Dental disease includes any health issue affecting the mouth, including inflammation, tartar, gingivitis and periodontal disease, among other issues. Periodontal disease is classified by the severity of its impact on teeth and gums. It is divided into four stages and as periodontal disease progresses, pets may experience a great deal of pain. In the earliest stages, pets develop mild tartar and inflammation of the gums; in the latest stages, significant inflammation and loss of teeth can occur. As the severity of dental disease increases, so does the chance of having other potentially fatal conditions such as heart and kidney disease.
In order to address the issue of pet dental health and give pet owners a breath of fresh air, Banfield is offering a limited-time coupon for a dental consultation by a veterinarian, available for download at www.Banfield.com during the month of February.
Banfield recommends regular dental examinations and annual professional dental cleanings by a veterinarian, especially for dogs and cats over the age of two. In addition, at-home preventive care including twice-a-week brushing along with dental chews, water additives and specially formed dry pet food may also be used to help prevent tartar build-up.
Calling all funny faces! Banfield's Facebook fans can enter the "Show Us Your Breath Face Sweepstakes" for a chance to win a one-year Optimum Wellness Plan® complete with dental cleaning. Today through March 30, 2013, hopeful contestants can log onto Banfield Pet Hospital's Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/BanfieldPetHospital, to submit photos of their facial expressions captured when catching a whiff of their pet's smelly breath. In addition to the grand prize of preventive healthcare, 50 first prize winners will also become eligible to receive a Banfield Dental Health Kit.

Angela Lyrics
Artist: Motley Crue
Album: Decade Of Decadence
I've been an alley cat I lived nine lives
I'm like a fine wine I'm better with time
Like a diamondback rattlesnake
I have the rattle if it had the shake
(Pre Chorus)
Until you gimme something to believe in
Until you gimme something to sink my teeth into
Now when the winds cry Angela
Angela I'll be there for you
And when the storms scream Angela
Angela I'll be there
I've been a poet always tongue in cheek
I've seen some scenes man you'd never believe
And like a supercharged rocket ride
You know they'd have gasoline if they had the time
Oh, Angela
Oh, Angela
When the winds cry Angela
Save me--I'm a suck soul sucker in this whiskey ghost town
Get me in your saddle and ride me into the ground
Oh, Angela
Oh, Angela
Now when the winds cry Angela
Baby, baby I'll be there

Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy Bruni allegedly made the disclosure during the filming of a documentary about her life for French television, which is yet to be released.
The Daily Mail reported that France's Plurielles.fr website , which said it had seen clips of the programme, said: "Bruni will bare her soul to the French people.
"She is turning the traditions of how French first ladies have behaved on their head.
"For the first time ever, a serving first lady will speak on television about the reasons which drove her to seek therapy eight years ago.
"The questions that she will answer include why she sought the help of a therapist, what happened during the sessions and why she has continued them for so long."
Miss Bruni, 41, married Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, almost two years ago and has rarely been out of the headlines since.
Nude photos from her earlier career as a model are regularly published in French magazines and newspapers and she has been accused of driving Mr Sarkozy to physical collapse with a gruelling fitness and diet regime.
The French media is now expecting another wave of revelations when the documentary is broadcast later this month.
France's Purepeople website said: "She is so unpredictable and can be so open about her life, that there is no knowing what she is going to say.
"We do not know if President Sarkozy has seen the footage, but we are sure he must have vetted it. Either way, journalists are simply waiting with bated breath."

Parents began getting letters yesterday saying that their children'steachers will no longer volunteer for after-school activities.
The letters follow the Howard County Education Association's recommendation Monday that its 2,700 members "curtail" voluntary activities.
The strategy is a recommendation, not a mandate.
The May 17 Clarksville Middle School letter is typical of others parents are receiving. It said that, beginning immediately, teachers will no longer chaperon programs, attend back-to-school night or PTA meetings, tutor or participate in conferences when any of the events are conducted held outside of school hours. They also will not purchase materials on their own time or contact parents during evening hours. Teachers told parents they were taking the action because the county executive and the County Council have welshed on their contract.
The austere $270 million operating budget, which the council is expected to approve at noon tomorrow, does not include a previously agreed-upon 6 percentcost-of-living raise or seniority increases for teachers.

Coherent X-ray Diffraction patterns of collagen in soft tissues have been measured for the first time by Dr Felisa Berenguer (London Centre for Nanotechnology) with her colleagues. This development opens doors to better understanding of living tissues like skin and bones, as well as the bio-mineralization processes which turn flexible collagen into semi-flexible cartilage and eventually into rigid bones. In a distant future, the understanding of the collagen structure will eventually lead to cures for of bone diseases, notably osteoporosis, or assist ongoing efforts to develop artificial skin.
Dr Berenguer is part of Prof Ian Robinson's group in the London Centre for Nanotechnology. This group is developing methods of using the coherence properties of these X-rays for imaging materials on the nanoscale. They use new synchrotron X-ray sources with extremely high brightness such as the Diamond Light Source on the Harwell campus near Oxford. While new light lines at the Diamond Light Source are still under construction, the London Centre Nanotechnology operates one of the experimental out-stations of the Advanced Photon Source (APS), an X-ray synchrotron in Chicago, USA. The group is focusing its efforts on X-rays because this type of light has small wavelengths and is strongly penetrating into material. There is thus an opportunity for imaging physical structures in three dimensions with resolution well beyond that of the visible light microscope. The group is also developing phase-contrast methods that are sensitive to nanoscale strains, or the detailed packing arrangement of molecules in biological tissues.
Dr Berenguer used whole dissected tendons from the tail of a rat in this study as a source of native collagenous tissue. The tendons contained micron size fibrils of collagen about one micron in diameter, tightly packed and well-aligned in the tissue. In traditional small-angle X-ray scattering these give rise to sharp diffraction peaks due to the array of collagen molecules within each fibril, similar to those appearing at the edge of the picture. The breakthrough realized by Dr Berenguer et al is to use a coherent beam of X-rays produced by the APS to measure the coherent diffraction pattern before radiation damage sets in. In place of the normal diffraction peak they observed a distinct array of diffraction speckles, as can be seen in the zoomed part of the picture. These speckles arise from interferences between the signals from the individual fibrils due to their relative positions within the tissue - i.e. the nanoscale structure of the tendon. This diffraction information is especially useful since it comes exclusively from the collagen and so ignores all the other components of the tissue.
Diffraction pattern of collagen obtain by Dr Berenguer and al during the scope of this research.
The pattern of speckles changes gradually as the beam is scanned across the tendon. This provides additional information on the 'phases' of the diffraction pattern, which are not measurable, but vitally needed to convert the diffraction patterns into images of the tissue. This is the complete form of the data needed for a new "ptychography" algorithm under development with collaborators at the University of Sheffield. Once the researchers have obtained real images of the arrangement of fibrils within the tendons, they plan to study how the internal arrangement becomes modified as the collagenous tissues develop into related biological structures like skin and bone or how they are altered in disease. Much is still to be understood about the bio-mineralization processes, which turns flexible collagen into semi-flexible cartilage and eventually into rigid bones.
Dr Berenguer reports her results in a paper about to be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA.

Tips for Lost/Found Cats
It is essential to the health and safety of your cat, that they be kept indoors only. However, should your cat go missing, please follow these steps.
EVERY moment counts! Do NOT wait and hope your cat returns before taking action!
- Search the perimeter of your home, under bushes and structures. A scared cat will want to hide.
- Alert your neighbors
- IMMEDIATELY, that same day...Call your Animal Control Officer
- Call your local shelter, Paws of Plainville (508-695-4707). The shelter has experienced staff that can help you safely trap your cat. Or someone may have turned in your cat.
- Post your cats photo, where it went missing, and your contact information on Facebook (if possible), or other social media forums
- Create posters and post them around your neighborhood and adjacent areas as well
- Finally, don't give up too soon
- Take pictures and note when you first saw the cat
- As quickly as possible, ask your neighbors if it belongs to them
- IMMEDIATELY, call your local Animal Control Officer
- Please do NOT touch an animal you do not know. But try to safely assess the cat from a safe distance. When you do contact officials, you'll be able to give them a quick bit of info; Is it friendly? Does it seem sick? Is it wounded? Does it have kittens with it? This will give officials a sense of the urgency at hand.
- Feed the animal, if possible, to keep it around until it can be tended to by officials.
