Tanner J. Moe
Legal Assistant: Molly Kovash – email@example.com
Tanner joined the firm in 2010 while still in law school. He has since gone from law clerk, to associate, and now partner. In that time he has helped hundreds of clients and their families affected by personal injuries. He tried his first jury trial within three months of becoming a licensed attorney and has never looked back, consistently trying multiple jury trials each year – some with success and some without. He knows he can never guarantee a result at the trial level, but he can guarantee effective and honest representation and advice throughout the course of each case.
He has represented clients in car, trucking, ATV, boating and bicycle accidents, slip and falls, dog attacks, assaults, invasion of privacy, wrongful deaths, nursing home abuse and neglect and various insurance coverage disputes. His knowledge of the law outside the world of personal injury is just enough to be dangerous – but you can still ask. He's very knowledgeable on the law surrounding personal injury – so you should ask. He's lectured at seminars for insurance professionals and other attorneys since 2011 on a wide variety of legal topics.
Tanner grew up in northwest Minnesota where he graduated high school with about 100 kids. While attending North Dakota State, he studied criminal justice and clerked at the Cass County State Attorney's Office in Fargo, ND. He also met his wife, Kelsey, who has kept him in line ever since. She stuck with him through law school at William Mitchell (now Mitchell Hamline) where he was a part of the AAJ trial team that made it to the national competition. Having three young children, he spends most of his "free time" at home, where he's currently ranked fifth in command, as only the dog listens to him at this point. If he has any hobbies, they are taking his dog pheasant hunting in the fall, brewing and drinking beer as often as possible, and attempting to hold onto his youth by competing in rec soccer (McFarg F.C.) and trying to keep up at his local Crossfit.

Nearly a year after ABC greenlit the series, Alyssa Milano starrer "Romantically Challenged" finally has an official premiere date confirmed by the network: April 12 at 9:30 p.m., following "Dancing With the Stars."
Series, which co-stars Kyle Bornheimer, Josh Lawson and Kelly Stables, has been in the waiting room long enough that it has already completed shooting on its first season of six episodes.
ABC has had a vacancy in its Wednesday comedy block since the cancellation of Kelsey Grammer's "Hank" early in the 2009-10 season, but the more adult tone of "Challenged" has been seen as a better fit for a post-9 p.m. slot — currently occupied on Wednesdays by "Modern Family" and "Cougar Town."
The 9:30 p.m. Monday placement will pit "Challenged" against CBS sitcom hit "The Big Bang Theory," but ABC is hoping that, buoyed by the "Dancing" lead-in, "Challenged" can carve out its own audience.
Milano plays a lawyer/mother recently divorced after 15 years of marriage. Stables plays her wild sister, Bornheimer her longtime, soft-hearted best friend and Lawson his roommate (a struggling novelist).
Ricky Blitt ("Family Guy") created the series and exec produces with director Jim Burrows.
In other scheduling news, Fox's midseason premiere of "Glee" after its winter hiatus would begin at 9:28 p.m. April 13. The odd start time is designed to help "Glee" retain more of its "American Idol" lead-in.

Locals in Weymouth, Dorset have found a rather bright way to protest blinding streetlights lining the seafront street — by attaching a frilly pink lampshade to one of the lights.
People living from across the seafront have been complaining about the Victorian-style lampposts, comparing it to bright car headlights directly focused at their respective houses. John Murphy, a resident, said: "It's like a car headlight. Even from a distance it lights up our garden. It's like having a torch shone in your eyes." Some, like Val Cole, are complaining about the spoiled view of the seafront due to the strong lighting. "We used to have an uninterrupted view and now the light has spoiled that. The light comes directly into our room. It's light pollution."
The Weymouth and Portland Borough Council, through its spokesperson Howard Legg, has already apologized for the inconvenience brought about by the streetlights. "We're sorry if anyone has been disturbed by the light. When this scheme was in the planning stage the borough council tried to take into account all residents' views."

We moved onto Dog6 for this session as the map that was in place on Sulfur was a stalemate; the map had a huge river running in it with all bridges destroyed. We got into a good amount of combat, and I accidentally revealed key intel to the enemy. Turns out I didn't learn the chat functions correctly and pressed TAB when the chat window wasn't active. Oops. We also got mowed down by trucks (repeatedly), and I got a friendly-fire Hit and Run with a motorcycle. Not necessarily in that order.

Spring has allegedly sprung. I say allegedly because in Washington D.C. today it's a very un-Spring-like 40 degrees; and with cloud cover, feels more like 36 degrees. Still, I've decided not to let that dampen my mood. I'm doing a little spring cleaning this weekend. Not just of my physical space, but of my mental space too. I don't know how it is for other writers but I tend to live with my characters when I'm writing them. They move into my head and they get comfortable there, and just about every experience I have while they're visiting I view through dual lens. The lens of the writer and that of the character.
What the heck does that mean, you ask?
Here's an example: while writing 'Maybe Never', I might eat a piece of chocolate cake and suddenly it would come to mind that Tracy, the main character would not have eaten the cake because she's extremely concerned about her appearance, and meticulous about what she eats. That characteristic about Tracy might or might not make it onto the page but since she resides in my head, I cannot help but think it. When that happens, it makes the process of writing about a character and making them three-dimensional almost easy. Each scene develops not according to an outline (not for me, though I know many fine authors use outlines) but according to what that person (character) might do given the circumstances of the scene.
The downside of having characters move into your head is that when you find them compelling, it's often difficult to get them out. Like a way-too-comfortable house-guest, they sometimes linger even when you would prefer that they move on. Or, like now, when you need them to move on so you can turn your attention to new guests. Like some of you who've written to me, I find myself wondering how Tracy and Brendan are, when I really need to be checking on Trey and Darren, my main guys from 'The Art of Endings' and cleaning out those spare rooms in my head for them.
But this weekend, I've made up my mind, as difficult as the parting will be, Tracy and Brendan have got to go. And of course, there's always the prospect of perhaps having them visit once again when I write Chris Scaife's story this summer. . .
Happy Reading!

Kodak has trumpeted its new high-end printer paper over recent product announcements as it sees the consumable coming of age in the digital photography market.
The camera manufacturer claims photos printed on paper with its new Colorlast Technology will not diminish for 100 years, and has priced the paper at the top end of the market ($17.95 to $24.95, depending on size).
The Colorlast improvement to Kodak's Ultima Picture Paper is recognition of a booming market - one that was worth $23 million in Australia last year.
"This is the first time we've done a major launch of a paper product," business development manager for Kodak's imaging products, Brian Finch, said. "If you want to keep a shot and frame it, this is what you will use."
The Colorlast selling point will be backed by point-of-sale activities and included in Kodak's instore displays, such as photo albums.
The new paper would become the standard sample included with new Kodak digital cameras by about July, Finch said.
Some Kodak resellers were starting to see inkjet paper as a more lucrative consumable than ink cartridges, the traditional printer cash-cow, Kodak's digital consumables business development manager, Karl Schuster, said.
"The margins they're getting makes it a very good business," he said. "It's the second fastest selling product for retailers behind DVDs. And in terms of volume and repeat purchases, it's better than cartridges."
The new Kodak paper sits in a market crowded with printer vendors trying to associate their printers and paper, as well as cheaper products. However, Kodak has 56 per cent market share of the inkjet paper market, according to market analysts Gfk. Also in Kodak's favour is that the Colorlast paper worked with all inkjet printers, which mean resellers didn't need to stock printer vendors' paper, Schuster said.
"Consumers are always upgrading printers and cameras and buying them for friends," he said. "So you need the consumables to support the printers and cameras [they might use]."
"When we're working with retailers we can outsell other papers by 2:1," Finch said.
The Ultima Picture Paper with Colorlast Technology is available in high gloss and satin finishes. Available sizes are 4x6 and 5x7 inch, as well as A4.
The Colorlast paper is one of a spate of Kodak announcements in the last few weeks. In April, Kodak also launched the six megapixel DX7630 camera.
The vendor this week announced the three megapixel CX7330 camera, and the latest version of its EasyShare Printer Dock, compatible with a range of vendors' cameras, will both be available in June.
Kodak currently offers the channel-wide bundle of the CX7300 camera (launched in March) and Printer Dock 6000 for $499.

AMC Orders Late-Night Talk Show From Kevin Smith and Greg Grunberg
AMC is quite fond of Kevin Smith. The cable network, which has been home to the filmmaker's Comic Book Men since 2012, has now ordered a late-night talk-show vehicle for him. Geeking Out will find the comic personality, joined by Greg Grunberg, offering up a 30-minute take on popular culture.
"AMC has been my TV family for five seasons of Comic Book Men now, so I know that Geeking Out is in the perfect, fan-friendly network hands," Smith said Thursday in a statement announcing the news. "I can't wait to lose fluids on the airwaves of my favorite channel over the genre gems we're gonna get insider access to due to gregarious Greg's bonafides! And to make it even more of a family affair, Geeking Out lets me work with the Weinsteins again — the two guys who started my career 22 years ago! I'm lucky to be working at all, let alone working with friends and family on a dream show where all we do is talk about all the media that makes us moist!"
As Smith mentions in his lengthy statement, the nine-episode series will be produced by Matador Content and The Weinstein Company with Bandwagon Media with Jay Peterson, Patrick Reardon, Smith and Grunberg serving as executive producers. The show will air a special premiere in late July after Comic-Con International: San Diego, followed by eight weekly outings.
It's the second time that AMC has attempted to give Smith a talk vehicle. The cable network filmed a pilot version of his Hollywood Babble-On show that ultimately didn't go.
"Kevin and Greg are both true fans of this content, and share a deep passion for talking about it, and engaging other fans about it. But it is their natural chemistry as hosts that really brings this idea together," said AMC president of original programming and development Joel Stillerman. "As part of our growing non-fiction slate, we wanted to create a broadly entertaining venue for hardcore fans and general viewers where we can break down all things fanboy on a weekly basis; and we wanted to bring those fans great interviews and exclusive looks into the world of fanboy culture. We look forward to sharing this highly entertaining duo with our viewers."
Grunberg, whose latest gig was reprising his Heroes role for NBC's Heroes Reborn, is a new addition to the talk space — as is AMC. It's an arena where many cable networks have sought to go in recent years, meeting success (Bravo's Watch What Happens Live) and failure (FX's Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell and Brand X With Russell Brand). Just this month, TBS added its second talker with Full Frontal With Samantha Bee.

"We Found Teeth In The Deposit Slot."
STONE 2: The Saint of Seven Mile
"Detective, we've got him on camera. The bank manager's got the tape cued up right now."
"Show me."
Inside the security room of Detroit First National, the small group of patrolmen and detectives huddle around the black and white monitor. Blurry, grainy, and without color, it's as surreal a view of the world as the scene they were about to watch. "Wait until you see this, Detective. This guy's fucking nuts."
The first view is from the overhead camera of the drive-thru lane. A pale gray Bronco pulls up slowly to the ATM. The camera angle is wide, enough to see the entire vehicle, but not much of the occupants. The window rolls down, and a woman reaches over and begins a transaction.
"Did you run those plates yet?"
"Yeah. New York tags. Comes back to a Sue Peterson. No known address in Detroit, but we're out looking for the vehicle right now."
"Can we get a close up? How about the ATM cam? Can we see their faces?"
"Yeah, hang on." A click of a mouse and the screen changes to a fish-eye view from the ATM itself. The woman is beautiful, even behind large and dark sunglasses. As she leans forward to insert her bank card, the passenger becomes visible over her shoulder.
"That's our guy, in the passenger seat."
Suddenly the calmness of the scene becomes something else entirely.
"Yeah, this is where it starts."
A third figure runs up between the woman and the ATM, putting a gun in her face and pointing at the ATM. For a few brief seconds he waves his arms around frantically, then suddenly he hits the woman in the mouth with the gun.
"He hit her, right? Did he just hit her right there?"
"Yeah. Watch the passenger."
The man in the passenger seat shifts towards the driver as he grabs the steering wheel and turns it sharply towards the ATM. The car abruptly lunges forward, pinning the robber between the wall and the car. The detective watches intently, chewing gum with loud smacks. "That was slick." The rhythm of the gum suddenly changes as the passenger exits the car. "What's he doing now?"
"Go back to the overhead camera."
"Damn…that's a big dude."
At the ATM the robber is still clutching his gun with one hand, and his crushed hip with the other. As the male passenger walks around the rear of the car, the injured thug raises the weapon and points it directly at him. "Look at him. He's walking right up on the gun like he doesn't care."
Then the retribution begins.
"Whoa..damn." As the detectives watch, the passenger walks up to the robber, grabs the hand with the gun, and violently forces the thug to hit himself in his own face with it. Once, twice, and on the third time the gun goes off. There is no sound from the monitor, but the bright flash of the muzzle is clear as the gun fires straight up into the ceiling of the drive-thru.
"Make sure we get that bullet. Do we have the gun?"
"No. He tosses it into the… right there…"
The man pulls the gun from the thug's hand and tosses it through the window into the Bronco. The robber is now holding his face with both hands, seemingly trying to cower back, leaning away from the passenger as far as he can. The intended victim, now the aggressor, grabs the thug by the throat with both hands. Looking over his shoulder to the woman driver, they exchange a few words, and the Bronco suddenly backs up, releasing its prisoner from the wall.
"What the hell is this guy doing? Can we go back to the ATM camera?"
"Yeah, but you won't see much."
"You'll see."
Another click of a button and the fish-eye cam comes into view again. At first all that can be seen is the back of the robber until he is suddenly spun around to face the camera and thrust forward into it, making his face appear to slam into the monitor. The detective's gum falls from his open mouth.
Again and again the thug's face is thrust forward into the TV screen. Each time the camera becomes a little more fogged with blood and snot, but each impact makes a clear and visceral impression on those watching. The camera shifts violently with every blow, the entire ATM moving from the force. After several moments the monitor screen is nothing but a smear of DNA.
"Fuckin' A."
"Yeah. We found teeth in the deposit slot."
"You what?
"We found teeth in the deposit slot."
The detective stared blankly at the officer for a moment, trying to chew gum that was no longer there, before sighing deeply and turning back to the screen. "Go back to the overhead."
From above, the officers watch the man drop the thug to the ground, then step away towards the Bronco; but he doesn't leave. "What's he doing?"
"Watch. He's asking her for the ATM card."
As they watch the woman hands the man her card through the car window. He pauses there for a moment, reaching out to caress the woman's face. He kisses her, then walks back to the ATM, casually inserting the card while standing over the crumpled body as if it wasn't there. He makes his withdrawal, and then begins walking back to the Bronco. As he crosses the drive lane, he looks directly up at the camera.
"Freeze that, right there. Can you zoom in on that?"
Seconds later the screen is filled with the face of Mason Stone. His steel gaze meets the detective's eyes; his face expressionless, emotionless, unaffected by the brutal events that occurred just moments ago.
"That's a cold son of a bitch right there. Let's make sure we get this guy."
The Saint of Seven Mile
Saint Monolith 3
Deja Vu With #2!
"Powerful follow up to the first one, hands down."
"The book held me in its grips to the very last word and left me wanting more."

A Promise Kept
A couple years ago when the first SAINT MONOLITH came out, I met this awesome guy Dino Maddalone. He was kind and supportive, and nice enough to mention me on his show. I promised him I would write him into the sequel. I've kept that promise, and am proud to call him a friend. Below is his show from two years ago, and below that is his chapter in The Saint of Seven Mile, releasing February 14th.
Dino Maddalone was a high school friend of Mason's. An old-school record producer, he carried with him a class and charm that would have made him more at home in the Rat Pack days of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra than the classless mess the industry had become today. Remaining an icon in the industry even though the years were wearing on, Dino was drumming for R&B groups in Vegas and doing appearances in films. Back in California he ran a small music studio, but these were new times, tough times, and money didn't flow into the studio the way it had decades before. Even good people find themselves struggling sometimes, and when money was tight in the studio, Dino had found himself seeking the help of another friend, Nicky Romano.
Nicky had a new business too, one that thrived in tough times, known by most as loan sharking. His shithole of a shop had a big 'Pawn' sign over the door, but his real money was made through illegal loans with fatal interest rates. Dino, Mason and Nicky had all been friends back in the day, but those days were long gone, and Nicky was all about business, not friends.
Mason's phone had gone off at 2am. There was the usual chatter that goes on between friends who haven't spoken in several years, fifteen minutes of talking about the real issue, ten more minutes of explaining things to Sue, and by 6:45am Mason was on a flight from Detroit to LA.
Nicky had turned on Dino pretty hard. Threatened his family, torched a car. Now the offer was to sign over the studio property or they would take Dino's soul next. Old friendships die hard, but Dino might die first. Dino was a tough man, cut from the same cloth as the Clint Eastwood and John Wayne sort; but he was also smart, and taking on a mafia thug by himself wasn't.

Saint Monolith 2 Releases
This one took a long hard road to get here, but I'm happy to announce The Saint of Seven Mile released worldwide today. This is the shorter edited version of the promo video.
The Demon of Apartment 116
As soon as Mason enters the hallway of their building he can hear the sounds of abuse from apartment 116. He stands alone in the hallway listening to it all, minutes drifting by like small lifetimes. A slap on a face, a threat to leave, a broken dish upon the floor; the corridor fills with the sounds of misery and despair, of anger and regret. A woman crying, a child pleading in defiance and fear to protect her, all from a monster that was supposed to love and nurture them.
An old light fixture on the ceiling flickers, its bulb nearing the end of its life. A moth flits about, desperate to get to the warm glow that teases it from behind a dirty glass globe, not realizing the heat of the bulb will kill it. Mason ponders the similarity of the moth and light to the sounds of cruelty coming from the apartment. People, attracted to the lure of a relationship, desperate to have one, needing one; never realizing that actually getting into one might destroy them.
Mason's gaze drifts to the stairs, looking upward to the apartment that was his and Sue's just days earlier. He wonders if that relationship, no matter how desirable, may have destroyed them both. He stands here now, alone in a dim and dirty hallway somewhere in Detroit, a broken soul. Even a beautiful relationship can be the catalyst that destroys lives. The most magnificent of fireworks are but fleeting moments that leave behind only dirty ash when they are gone.
There's a sudden powerful thump on the corridor wall. A door slams, angrily and forcefully. Voices are raised and things are breaking; things like dishes, chairs, and human spirits. The crescendo of madness emanating from behind the apartment door grows until Mason cannot endure the burden of witness any longer. Behind his psychological wall his demons, weeping in the darkness moments earlier, are shifting to rage. He takes one last glance up the stairs, some deep corner of his wounded mind hoping somehow he might see Sue standing there, to stop him. She isn't, and Mason's boots carry 240lbs of angry broken soul to the door of apartment 116.
He knocks on the door, and with no answer knocks again, a greater tone of insistence bearing down upon it.
Faint sounds drift from behind the door. Whispers of muffled aggression; a woman told to shut up, a child ordered to his room. Inside is a struggle of indecision, to answer the door and weave a façade of normalcy, or to hide in defiance and shame. Moments pass, but Mason's demons will not be denied. A fist pounds the door, monsters of different breeds standing on either side of it. The portal opens, and an angel of justice and liberation locks eyes with a demon of betrayal and oppression.
"What the fuck do you want," speaks one demon to the other.
Mason's stare is cold and steady, his intentions unwavering in spite of any resistance that might come. "Let me see your wife."
There are split seconds in life when an entire story is told in a moment of changing facial expressions, if you look hard enough and have the insight to interpret it. In just a few fleeting moments, the demon of apartment 116's entire story is revealed there in the flesh of his face; the guilt, the fear and the shame. The facade of defensive defiance comes anyway.
"Go fuck yourself. Mind your own business." The door quickly begins to close, the portal between liberation and subjugation trying to seal shut, to keep the status quo just a while longer. But the time of apathy has passed, blind eyes will not be turned, and Mason's demons, unrestrained by a keeper no longer alive, are stampeding over the wall.
Mason rears back and kicks the door with all of his unbridled rage. The gateway to emotional imprisonment gives way to an angel of salvation as the wooden barrier strikes its guard in the face, knocking him back hard against a wall. Mason rushes in and grips the man by his Adam's apple, powerful fingers wrapping around the ball of his throat, threatening to rip it from its moorings.
Mason holds the man firmly against the wall, the door closing behind him, two monsters now locked in the same cage. The man struggles and fights at first, thinking he can overpower the intruder of his lair. Mason easily contains his efforts, the iron grip on his Adam's apple causing the man to choke and gag as he struggles. Mason, shoving the man down to his knees by the throat, leans into his face. Momentarily they share the same air, with far different intentions. "I said I want to see your wife."
The angel of retribution drags the demon of isolation around the corner of the foyer and into the living room, where the woman stands staring in his direction. Her eyes are open wide, a look of fear in her face. Mason raises an empty palm, holding it out to her, trying to tell her to be still, to be quiet, to not be afraid.
The man's vocal chords vibrate against Mason's fingertips as he calls out to his wife. "Dial 911. Call the police." Her phone is in her hand, the light of the screen illuminating her face, contrasting it against the darkened room. Before she can press a number, she sees Mason's changing expression as he stares at her. His shoulders seem to drop, his demeanor softening. She doesn't understand, until she catches her own reflection in the mirror behind him.
Both hand and phone lower to her side; the light twisting around with the motion but still reflecting against her face. She begins to cry, each tear weaving a path among the bruises and scars in the mirror. They mix with the blood as they pass her nostrils, the combination stinging the split in her lip.
In our own minds we all see a vision of the person we believe ourselves to be. In the mirror the woman finally puts denial aside, to face the woman she had actually become.
For long moments, she faces the reflection that for years she had refused to make eye contact with. Her eye is so black and swollen it reminds her of the eye patch from a pirate costume she had worn last Halloween. She suddenly remembers that a black eye a year ago was why she chose that costume in the first place. She's had black eyes for so long they have become normal, almost unnoticed, except to cover them with makeup so no one else will see.
Her captor struggles in the grip of her liberator, drawing her attention away from herself. He is on his knees, the intruder still holding a death grip into his throat. "Call the police," he commands again. Mason punches him in the face with such force one of his fingers breaks and a tooth flies across the room. Mason releases him and pulls his .45 from behind his back, telling the man not to move as he approaches the woman. Her fear returns and she hits the three numbers that will bring the police. She backs away slowly while the call connects. Mason shoves the .45 back into his waistband, lifts his hands slowly out to his sides, palms out.
He tries to make her understand, to awaken her. "It doesn't have to be like this. This is not a life, and you can be free."
Behind Mason the demon of apartment 116 calls out, his grasp on the woman's soul in jeopardy. "You stay away from her. Baby, get the cops."
The call connects, the dispatch operator's voice trickles from the small phone speaker for all in the room to hear. Mason and the woman's eyes linger in each other for several more seconds, Mason gently shaking his head from side to side. "No more."
"Hello? This is 911 dispatch, is anyone there?"
A child comes from the side hallway and stands at the entrance to the room. The woman's eyes break away from Mason's as she turns to her son. Even in the dim light of the room she can see his swollen lip and the bruises on his arms. The child is crying, as he often does. "Mom?"
"911. Is anyone there? Do you need help?"
The woman turns back towards Mason, who stands there waiting for the decision she is making. She looks down at the phone, and as she slowly raises it, presses the red button to freedom. As the call disconnects, she sees her reflection again in the mirror. There beyond the years of beatings, beyond the black eyes and the emotional scars, a glint reflects in her eyes; a spark of life.
Behind Mason the demon roars, his power fading. "What the fuck are you doing?"
Her eyes meet Mason's, and they speak without words. She nods, just slightly, the decision made, the approval granted, as she turns to grab her son by the hand and lead him out the front door. Behind her she closes the exit of her former prison, now a tomb that her former keeper will never leave again.
The sounds of madness emanate once more from the apartment. The retribution and reckoning is swift, merciless, and brutal. The corridor fills with the sounds of things being broken; things like emotional shackles, control, and human bones.
"Please, I'll never touch her again, I swear to God."
"God isn't here."
When the police arrive, only fingerprints will positively identify the demon of apartment 116.
"Death, My Old Friend."
"Mason refused to move. Not an inch, not a muscle. He held Sue in his arms as the light faded from her eyes. He could feel her heart beat in rhythm with his own, until it gradually slowed and eventually stopped. Her last exhale whispered into his ears, just like her breathing had from her pillow in the middle of the night when he would watch her sleep; a sound he would never forget, especially now.
An hour later, as her skin cooled to his touch, he still hadn't moved. They huddled there together by the side of the road, the widening gap between life and death trying to pull them apart, but Mason refused to let go. The street lamp above him flickered sporadically as the cold winter breeze bit and clawed at his face, the blood beneath them already frozen. He had vowed to protect her, to keep her safe. At the moment this was all he knew to do; to hold her here, to keep the world away, even in death.
In the dark quiet places of his mind the demons stirred, slowly at first, then more vigorously as they realized the gatekeeper was gone. For months she had kept them in check, pushed them back, keeping them tamed with logic and love. He kissed her cold blue lips, bits of blood slipping into his mouth; pieces of her to remain within him forever. His tears fell, the warm salty stream burning against his frozen cheeks. Like an old friend, this sort of pain and sorrow had followed him all his life, always seeming to manifest itself the same way. Now as his broken heart bled into rage, the demons crept forward. The wall that locked away his secrets, the barrier that held back the unique way he perceived the world, shook and cracked as the monsters pounded from within. Unguarded, unchecked, the floodgates opened, and he surrendered to the madness and rage."

Saptagiri LLB Movie Review: A Winner Once Again!
Saptagiri (Saptagiri), who completes his LLB course, gets himself busy in resolving petty conflicts that crop up in the Village panchayat quite often but never turn up to the court. He decides to relocate himself to the urban side in order to gain exposure by taking up bigger cases.
The not-so-experienced lawyer begins his journey of practice in an ocean where he would be attracted towards a hit and run case. Rajpal (Sai Kumar), a prominent lawyer in the town, argues and gets the case dismissed.
An intrigued Saptagiri gets into the skin of the case and reopens it eventually making it a difficult pill to swallow for both Rajpal and his influential client. A usually adored Saptagiri, who is treated as a godly figure by the public will be a butt of their anger, after the young lawyer accepts bribe of Rs 20 Lakhs from Rajpal's client to forgo the case.
Will Saptagiri realize his mistake? Will he bring upon justice? If so, how would he be successful in doing the same, forms the rest of the plot.
Screen Treatment
Court Scenes
Sai Kumar's stellar performance
Saptagiri's dance movements
Familiar storyline
This is the second attempt by comedian Saptagiri to become an on-screen leading hero after 'Saptagiri Express'. He has proved his all-round prowess of acting, dance and dialogue delivery in both of his movies and the last 40 minutes stand as a testimonial of his potential.
Especially when you can compete with a mighty actor like Sai Kumar. It's not too easy to express both hush and varied emotions at a same time and he is pretty successful here.
Saikumar, as usual, touches the mark with his distinctive performance. He has reprised the role of Boman Irani (Hindi) and Prakash Raj (Tamil) and has indeed delivered an on-par performance. Shiva Prasad is impressive with a convincing act while the heroine is ordinary.
It is a tough job to remake stories like these and recreate the same magic. Even a slight change would deflect the magic portion in the movie and the whole flavour gets missed.
Director, Charan has been successful in giving the best output and he needs to be accredited more. The court scenes have been made well and are effective.
Music by Vijay doesn't make much impact as it appears to be speed breakers for the flow of the movie. Legendary writer duo, Parchuri Brothers, once again have proved their mark as to why they are deemed as the best in the business.
Saptagiri LLB is a remake of Jolly LLB, which went on to become a huge hit in Bollywood and later was remade in Tamil as Manithan with Udayanidhi Stalin. The comedy, action and commercial elements which have been induced in Saptagiri LLB have been done artistically and has worked in favour of the movie.
Saptagiri enthrals the audience with his exquisite dance moves and few of them in the opening song are indeed enjoyable. The director's vision of inclusion of few scenes for the entertainment quotient has worked in favour of the movie.
The best of the movie is the insertion of farmer's element which was not part of the original version. Paruchuri brothers score over as they have been successful in painting an emotional touch to the same.
Final Verdict
Saptagiri wins in both courtrooms - the real one and the courtroom of the audience.

New Delhi: The central government on Monday proposed to free domestic natural gas pricing and replace the existing production sharing contract (PSC) system by the revenue-sharing model for all future acreage auctions.
"It is proposed to provide pricing and marketing freedom for the natural gas to be produced from the areas to be awarded under the new contractual and fiscal regime in order to incentivise production from these areas," the petroleum ministry said on its website, inviting comments from stakeholders on a consultation paper on new fiscal and contractual regime for award of hydrocarbon acreages.
In the recently announced marginal field policy, the government has provided pricing and marketing freedom for the natural gas,
In September, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs had approved a landmark change in India's hydrocarbons exploration regime, sanctioning the auction of 69 small and marginal oil fields of state-owned ONGC and Oil India Ltd. to private and foreign firms.
"For the first time, a revenue-sharing model is being approved in place of production-sharing contract," Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had told reporters here.
The government of India has been reviewing policies from time to time for exploration activity and investment there in. Over the years, there has been a shift in the E&P (exploration and production) policy, from nomination acreage to competitive bidding,
The ministry proposed a Uniform Licensing Policy that will allow exploitation of all forms of hydrocarbons – oil and gas as well as shale oil and gas and coal-bed methane under one permit.
It also proposed Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) allowing companies to choose the area for exploration rather than government identifying blocks and offering them in bid rounds.
Further, it proposed a revenue sharing model in place of the present fiscal system of production sharing based on Pre-Tax Investment Multiple (PTIM) and cost recovery.
Under the proposed regime companies offering the maximum revenue share or percentage of oil and gas to the government, and committing to do more work, will win the field.
As per current practice, companies get blocks by bidding the maximum work programme and recover all their investment before sharing profits with the government.
"In this model it is proposed that the bidders will bid the percentage of revenue that they will share with the government against two revenue scenarios — when revenue is less than or equal to the Lower Revenue point and when revenue is more than or equal to Higher Revenue point," the paper said.
"The percentage government revenue share at revenue points falling between the lower and higher revenue points will be interpolated on a linear scale. Revenue, net of royalty (as applicable) will be shared between the contractor and the central government based on revenue accrued for oil and gas on a monthly basis," it added.

text: My company's software is an ArcGIS Desktop extension which uses Spatial Adjustment (Conflation toolset) functionality (specifically rubbersheeting) extensively. We, and many of our customers, have a Standard ArcGIS license which provides access to this toolset in Desktop. We are now working on transitioning to ArcGIS Pro and it appears that you must have an Advanced license to access the same functionality in Pro. Does anyone know what is going on with this? I.e., is it going to stay this way? It's pretty difficult to move to Pro (as ESRI is pushing everyone to do) if you can't access the tools that you need.

Pollen transports the male genetic material from one flower to another. During this process it can undergo many environmental stresses, but these don't end when it finally reaches another flower. As pollen is transported it is de-hydrated, but upon reaching another flower it needs to re-hydrate to "inflate" the pollen tube. This pollen tube then delivers the sperm to the ovules. However, re-hydrating is a dangerous process and pollen tubes can burst! Recent research shows that pollen, which produce pollen tubes that do not burst contain a crucial protein that acts as a safety valve. This protein may have ancient origins as bacteria have a similar mechanism. Could this have been one of the key developments in the evolution of plants that enabled them to invade the land?
Like seeds, pollen loses most of its water during maturation, entering a state of suspended animation. This allows it to survive its journey from male to female organs of a flower, where it is rehydrated by sugary fluids secreted by the female organ, and springs into life again. But rehydrating is a dangerous process, one that can kill the pollen grain before it can fertilize the egg if not properly controlled.

Mark Kennedy permalink
(?) While it makes grammatical sense to say that X is twice as great as Y, or that X is greater than Y, it makes none to say that X is twice as great than Y. For a professor of any discipline to commit such an egregious error in the lead sentence of an analysis that presumably aspires to credibility is extraordinary enough; that it has apparently escaped his notice for two years boggles the mind.
As the second set of words is clearly missing a verb (which might have transformed the set into an intelligible sentence), I stopped there…

Q. What does NACEE stand for?
A. NACEE – acronym stands for the North Alabama Center for Educational Excellence – a nonprofit educational support center established to provide pre-college programs for youth and adults.
Q. What programs does NACEE offer?
A. NACEE offers four programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education and one program funded by the State of Alabama.
Educational Opportunity Centers primarily serve displaced or underemployed workers from families with incomes under $33,075. The Centers help individuals to choose a college and a suitable financial aid program. There are 124 Educational Opportunity Centers in America serving 195,000 individuals. A study of EOC participants found that 57% of college-ready students were admitted to institutions of higher learning and 56% of EOC participants who had been college dropouts had re-enrolled.
Upward Bound helps youth prepare for higher education. Participants receive instruction in literature, composition, mathematics, and science on college campuses after school, on Saturdays and during the summer. Currently, 964 projects are in operation throughout the United States. In 2005, 77.3% of all students who participated in Upward Bound programs immediately went to college in the fall following their high school graduations. This rate is even higher by persistence in the program: 91.2% of Upward Bound students who participated in the program for three years or longer and 93% who participated through high school graduation enrolled in a postsecondary program immediately following high school.
Upward Bound Math & Science helps students from low-income families to strengthen math and science skills. In addition, students learn computer technology as well as English, foreign language and study skills. Currently, 117 projects are serving students throughout the country. Overall, 86.5% of students who participated in Upward Bound Math/Science programs go directly to college after graduating from high school. Indeed, 70% of Upward Bound Math/Science programs have postsecondary enrollments of 80% or higher.
The Veterans Upward Bound program provides intensive basic skills development and short-term remedial courses for military veterans to help them successfully transition to postsecondary education. Veterans learn how to secure support from available resources such as the Veterans Administration, veterans associations, and various state and local agencies that serve veterans.
Emerging Scholars' Program serves young people in grades 6 through 12. In addition to counseling, participants receive information about college admissions requirements, scholarships and various student financial aid programs. This early intervention program helps students from families with incomes under $33,075 (where neither parent graduated from college) to better understand their educational opportunities and options.
Q. What academic support services does NACEE offer?
A. NACEE offers:
College Survival/Study Skills workshops provide individualized or group assistance specifically designed to help students develop the skills necessary to succeed in academic programs.
Tutoring offers individualized or small group academic assistance provided by NACEE staff, volunteers, and college students.
GED/High School Equivalency Preparation provides individualized assistance needed to obtain the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the high school equivalency exam.
ACT Prep class is offered four times per year about two weeks before each national exam. Students receive small group instruction in math, science reasoning, language, and reading.
Personal Counseling provides intervention and assistance with personal problems and decisions.
Mentoring links students with professionals in their potential field of study. Mentors provide information about his or her own career path, as well as offer guidance, motivation, emotional support, and role modeling
Academic Advising/ Coaching assists students with making educational plans, selecting appropriate courses, meeting academic requirements, and planning for further education.
Career Awareness Activities include field trips, special lectures, and workshops to increase students' knowledge of various career opportunities.
Financial Aid and VA Benefits Assistance helps participants complete financial aid, veterans' benefits, and scholarship applications.
Cultural Activities include field trips, special lectures and symposiums that improve participants' educational, intellectual, and personal development.
Campus Visits to Postsecondary Institutions acquaint students with institutions they may wish to attend.
College Admissions Assistance helps participants complete college entrance applications or other documents for the college admissions process.
College Entrance Exam Preparation is designed to help students meet scoring requirements on national or state standardized tests given to students entering postsecondary institutions.
Informative Workshops include seminars on topics such as: Building Self-Esteem, Peer Pressure, Choosing the Right College or Major, Test-Taking Skills, Job Interviewing Skills, and Time/Stress Management.
Q. What is TRIO?
A. The TRIO Programs are designed to identify promising students (Talent Search), prepare them to do college level work (Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math/Science), provide information on academic and financial aid opportunities to adults (Educational Opportunity Centers), provide tutoring and support services to students once they reach campus (Student Support Services), and support and encourage talented students to pursue a Ph.D. (Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program). As mandated by Congress, over two-thirds of the students must come from families with incomes under $24,000 (family of four) where neither parent graduated from college. Students enrolled in today's TRIO Programs mirror our nation's multi-cultural and multiethnic society. Thirty-nine percent of TRIO students are White, 36% are African-American, 16% are Hispanic, 5% are Native American, and 4% are Asian-American. Sixteen thousand TRIO students are disabled. There are more than 25,000 U.S. veterans currently enrolled in the TRIO Programs. TRIO college graduates are working in business, industry, government, medicine, law, education, communications, sales, finance, politics, transportation, publishing, law enforcement, computer science & technology, engineering, and accounting.
Q. What makes TRIO programs different from other educational programs?
A. In many communities, the TRIO Programs are the only programs that help students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. The educational and human services offered through TRIO Programs are distinguishable from all other counseling programs in America because they are:
One-On-One: As most TRIO Programs serve fewer than 250 students, TRIO counselors have an opportunity to work one-on-one with each student. Unlike traditional counseling programs, TRIO professionals get to know each student on a first-name basis. TRIO staffs are personally committed to the success of their students.
Performance-Based: Each TRIO Program operates against specific, measurable outcome objectives as clearly defined in each approved grant proposal. TRIO Program Directors are held accountable and must meet their stated objectives each year if they expect to remain funded and able to help participants in their targeted service area.
Focused on Early Intervention: Two of the TRIO Programs, Talent Search and Upward Bound, are early intervention programs. These programs effectively reach students in grades six through 12 who have "college potential" but often do not recognize or understand their academic and career options beyond high school. Each year, these two programs keep thousands of promising young low-income and minority students in school and focused on career and college success.
Designed for First-Generation and Low-Income: Two-thirds of the students in the TRIO Programs come from families with incomes under $24,000,family of four, where neither parent graduated from college. In most cases, parents have no higher education experience, do not understand the post secondary process, and do not necessarily value a higher education.
Built on Relationships: Over a period of several months or years, TRIO Professionals build both personal and professional relationships with their students. Such positive relationships are critical to the success of every TRIO Program. The staff of each TRIO Program creates a climate of support for students as they strive to move out of poverty and dependence. As a result of these strong positive relationships, many TRIO college graduates periodically return to their programs to encourage and inspire current students.
Consistent and Intense: TRIO Programs and TRIO Professionals are consistently available to their students. In fact, some TRIO Programs enable students to meet with counselors during the summer, in the evening or on weekends. Many TRIO Professionals, as part of their specified program objectives, visit students at home to discuss courses or career plans.
Comprehensive & Cultural: The academic and human services as administered through the TRIO Programs are comprehensive and must go far beyond the traditional services offered by high school or college counselors. Many students in the TRIO Programs receive instruction in literature, composition, foreign languages, mathematics and science. In addition, students receive assistance in completing college admission and financial aid applications, tutorial services and exposure to cultural events.
Reality Based: Like their students, many TRIO Professionals had to overcome class, social, academic and cultural barriers to succeed in higher education. As a result, they can effectively relate to their students and know how to motivate young people and adults in spite of the obstacles that often serve to discourage students from low-income families.
Community Based: Community need is determined by the community, not the federal government. TRIO Programs are funded based on clear evidence that the program is needed in a particular community or town. Criteria used in determining need in a specific area include income level, education attainment level, dropout rates, student-to-counselor ratio, social and economic conditions, and overall demographic data.
Non-Bureaucratic: TRIO Programs do not involve a large federal bureaucracy because they are direct grant programs funded in rank order on the basis of competitive proposals. In fact, there is no more than one federal employee for every 28,000 TRIO students now being served. In addition, TRIO Programs only exist where local organizations see the need for such services and have successfully applied for federal support. Despite substantial increases in the number of TRIO students and programs, fewer federal employees are working with TRIO today than 20 years ago.

If you plan on selling on E-bay, there are some simple strategies you should know when dealing with customers. If you want to bring in new customers and have repeat customers, you will need to learn some of the best customer service skills that work on E-bay.
Appearance of Listing: You don't have to invest in E-Bays templates that they charge you for. There are several free sites on the web that you can use on the internet for free. These sites are very easy to use and it's just a matter of browsing for your pictures and copy and pasting the link into your E-bay description. You will sell more if you include several clear pictures of all views of your item. These sites allow you a multitude of pictures on the template which you would have to pay for if you uploaded them directly into E-bay. What a savings by using this and it will bring you more customers! Use your search engine and search for free E-bay or auction templates.
Description of Listing: Be very precise in how you describe your item or items. This is important and especially if there is a defect, it will show your potential customers that they can trust you enough to be truthful. Your customers may even thank you for being so truthful. It will also save you lots of headache later especially on your feedback.
Postage and shipping: You should always offer the lowest possible shipping available no matter how long it takes. Some people are willing to wait for the sake of saving some money in this economy. You should also offer the option of getting it quicker just in case so they have a choice in the matter. This way the customer is happy, the ball is in their court. They do not feel that they are railroaded into paying huge shipping costs and usually they will blame the seller, not the post office. They can actually rate you on your shipping fees on e-bay now so it is better to keep your customer happy in this area. You may want to consider including shipping in the price of the item and state that shipping is free. This will attract even more customers to your item. Always remember to ship promptly. If you only ship on certain days, you must state so the customer knows it ahead of time. Including a thank you note in the box with the item and possible a business card is always a good idea.
Communication: Be friendly and answer all questions promptly. Do not answer questions in caps as it appears you are shouting at someone. Be negotiable in all situations. There may be some situations that you may not be able to make your customer happy, but do your best.
Returns: Offer a money back guarantee if they are not happy. This will also build trust among your potential customers. You may ask that they pay for the return postage. Offering nothing will cause mistrust among potential customers and in most cases you will get very little in returns unless you are not describing your items properly.

Almost 5 weeks post fall and there is still some bruising and swelling, but it is looking so much better. I still have more pain than I had hoped for at this point, so I was concerned going in for my checkup with the orthopedist.
But I got the best news!I have been following doctors orders to a T! RICE, anti inflammatories, oils, no activity or weight bearing, etc. and it has paid off! Doc said xrays looked good! The bone fragment hasn't shifted which is a great sign! He said to expect pain for the next few months until the ligament heals, but that I can swim and bike and do what I can tolerate! I can even come out of the boot as much as I can tolerate. I start physical therapy next week! I honestly didn't expect this good of news! And of course I headed straight for the gym to celebrate!
Then I followed with a 30 minute swim with the pull buoy (arms only). Not a bad swim for a girl who usually gets her power from her kicks!
What a great day! I am so happy to be incorporating in some training even if it's modified! I am feeling hopeful for Ironman Texas!!

A Complicated World and Simple Love
Posted by
Editor's Note: The opinions expressed in this blog post are solely those of the author.
I am yearning for the good old days. You know the ones. The days when Jennifer Worth and company attended one mother in one house and there was no chance of babies getting muddled. Life is so much more complicated in the 1960s. As birth moved from home to the hospital, no doubt incidents like this episode's dramatization did occur, prompting the beginnings of today's newborn identification processes.
I have no experience with muddled babies. Today there are a myriad of precautions in place to identify and keep newborns in the hospital secure. There has been increasing attention by the public and hospitals to the dangers of all types of hospital errors. This again has prompted changes and improvements. The following was directly taken from Detroit's Henry Ford Hospital website regarding the implementation of a culture of safety: "A non-punitive environment must be established before encouraging an increase in voluntary incident reporting. This can be accomplished by emphasizing that poor system designs are recognized as the cause of most errors." Just what Sister Julianne and Shelagh Turner were talking about with Sister Evangelina. Complicated circumstances can sometimes trip up even the best-intentioned human.
Another thing that has always been complicated is love and relationships. During this episode we watched a little girl yearning for her missing mother and her father's dilemma to protect her. We watched Patsy struggle with her forbidden relationship. Fred wrestled with his feelings of inadequacy with Violet. The two couples agonize over the bond they developed for babies not their own. But sometimes love is not so complicated but simple. The Nonnatus family simply supports when needed. Tommy and Gert are simply there for each other, always for as long as possible.
What does all this have to do specifically with midwives? Specifically, not much, but generally, as part of the medical care system quite a lot. We are part of a team. I count on those around me to speak up if they see something not right. And I am charged with speaking up in turn, if I see a potential mistake. We all look for better and safer ways. We look out for each other. No pointing fingers, just doing our job. That's a culture of safety, a simple thing in a complicated world.
Deborah McBain (CNM, MS, BSN, RN) is a nurse-midwife who has practiced in Metro Detroit for nearly 20 years. McBain received her Bachelor's Degree in Nursing Science from Wayne State University-Detroit, Master's Degree from the Case Western University-Cleveland and midwifery education through Frontier Nursing Service.

YOUTH workers throughout West Belfast are coming to terms with the realisation that they have lost their jobs this week after they were informed by the Education Authority that they are axing vital funds for youth services in the city.
Over 500 people attended a protest at Cólaiste Feirste on Tuesday night to protest at the news as the cuts fell heavily on many Irish language services for young people, particularly in West Belfast. However, other youth clubs will also be badly affected with reduced hours and services.
Pearse Knocker, a Youth Support Worker with St Agnes' Youth Club in Andersonstown, said: "It's heartbreaking, having to break the news to the young people – it was really hard to do.
"I've worked in St Agnes' since 2013, before that I was a volunteer and prior to that I attended the youth club from the age of 12.
"It's the children who are going to suffer the most. OK we have lost our jobs and it's a devastating blow but what are these young people meant to do now?"
Speaking as news of the funding cuts came through Conchúr Ó Muadaigh of Glór na Móna said: "I am absolutely gutted to have lost my job today.
"Today was a brutal day. We have had our funding withdrawn. I need to be absolutely clear about this. This wasn't because Stormont isn't working or because of any budget not being agreed. This was a deliberate, discriminatory and vicious attack on our youth club."
