Hell Or High Water by Joy Castro
A psychological thriller in the vein of Kate Atkinson and Tana French that introduces Nola Céspedes, an intense and spellbinding protagonist
Nola Céspedes, an ambitious young reporter at the Times-Picayune, catches a break: An assignment to write her first full-length feature. While researching her story, she also becomes fixated on the search for a missing tourist in New Orleans. As Nola's work leads her into darker corners of the city, a singular narrative voice emerges, and an even more compelling question surfaces: Who is Nola Céspedes? Vividly rendered in razor sharp prose, this novel is a riveting journey of trust betrayed—and the courageous struggle toward recovery.
The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan
A heartrending, gripping novel about two sisters in Belle Époque Paris.
1878 Paris. Following their father's sudden death, the van Goethem sisters find their lives upended. Without his wages, and with the small amount their laundress mother earns disappearing into the absinthe bottle, eviction from their lodgings seems imminent. With few options for work, Marie is dispatched to the Paris Opéra, where for a scant seventeen francs a week, she will be trained to enter the famous ballet. Her older sister, Antoinette, finds work as an extra in a stage adaptation of Émile Zola's naturalist masterpiece L'Assommoir.
Marie throws herself into dance and is soon modeling in the studio of Edgar Degas, where her image will forever be immortalized as Little Dancer Aged Fourteen. There she meets a wealthy male patron of the ballet, but might the assistance he offers come with strings attached? Meanwhile Antoinette, derailed by her love for the dangerous Émile Abadie, must choose between honest labor and the more profitable avenues open to a young woman of the Parisian demimonde.
Set at a moment of profound artistic, cultural, and societal change, The Painted Girls is a tale of two remarkable sisters rendered uniquely vulnerable to the darker impulses of "civilized society." In the end, each will come to realize that her salvation, if not survival, lies with the other.
Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker by Jennifer Chiaverini
In Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker, novelist Jennifer Chiaverini presents a stunning account of the friendship that blossomed between Mary Todd Lincoln and her seamstress, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Keckley, a former slave who gained her professional reputation in Washington, D.C. by outfitting the city's elite. Keckley made history by sewing for First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln within the White House, a trusted witness to many private moments between the President and his wife, two of the most compelling figures in American history.
In March 1861, Mrs. Lincoln chose Keckley from among a number of applicants to be her personal "modiste," responsible not only for creating the First Lady's gowns, but also for dressing Mrs. Lincoln in the beautiful attire Keckley had fashioned. The relationship between the two women quickly evolved, as Keckley was drawn into the intimate life of the Lincoln family, supporting Mary Todd Lincoln in the loss of first her son, and then her husband to the assassination that stunned the nation and the world.
Keckley saved scraps from the dozens of gowns she made for Mrs. Lincoln, eventually piecing together a tribute known as the Mary Todd Lincoln Quilt. She also saved memories, which she fashioned into a book, Behind the Scenes: Thirty Years a Slave and Four Years in the White House. Upon its publication, Keckley's memoir created a scandal that compelled Mary Todd Lincoln to sever all ties with her, but in the decades since, Keckley's story has languished in the archives. In this impeccably researched, engrossing novel, Chiaverini brings history to life in rich, moving style.
The Whole Stupid Way We Are by N. Griffin
What happens when everything you've got to give isn't enough to save someone you love?
It's Maine. It's winter. And it's FREEZING STINKIN' COLD! Dinah is wildly worried about her best friend, Skint. He won't wear a coat. Refuses to wear a coat. It's twelve degrees out, and he won't wear a coat. So Dinah's going to figure out how to help. That's what Dinah does—she helps. But she's too busy trying to help to notice that sometimes, she's doing more harm than good. Seeing the trees instead of the forest? That's Dinah.
And Skint isn't going to be the one to tell her. He's got his own problems. He's worried about a little boy whose dad won't let him visit his mom. He's worried about an elderly couple in a too-cold house down the street.
But the wedge between what drives Dinah and what concerns Skint is wide enough for a big old slab of ice. Because Skint's own father is in trouble. Because Skint's mother refuses to ask for help even though she's at her breaking point. And because Dinah might just decide to...help. She thinks she's cracking through a sheet of ice, but what's actually there is an entire iceberg.
Circle Of Deception by Carla Swafford
Carla Swafford's erotic Circle series comes to an exhilarating finale as the team of sexy spies and assassins goes undercover—under the covers.
After disappearing days before her wedding to fellow Circle agent Rex Drago, Abby Rodriguez discovered that trying to reclaim a life—and a love—lost is a whole lot harder than she thought. When her family's safety is threatened by an arms dealer, Abby must go undercover with the one man who sees right through her as they play the scariest roles yet: husband and wife.
Mission or no mission, Rex Drago wants answers from his ex-fiancee. Forced to play along as a rival arms dealer and the husband he once wanted to be, Rex is finding it hard to stay professional—especially since Abby is just as hot as ever. And when they find themselves in a very intimate position, Abby and Rex must act the part—or risk blowing their cover entirely.
Argo by Antonio Mendez, Matt Baglio
How the CIA and Hollywood Pulled off the Most Audacious Rescue in History
The true, declassified account of CIA operative Tony Mendez's daring rescue of American hostages from Iran that inspired the critically-acclaimed film directed by and starring Ben Affleck, and co-starring John Goodman, Alan Arkin, and Bryan Cranston.
On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the American embassy in Tehran and captured dozens of American hostages, sparking a 444-day ordeal and a quake in global politics still reverberating today. But there is a little-known drama connected to the crisis: six Americans escaped. And a top-level CIA officer named Antonio Mendez devised an ingenious yet incredibly risky plan to rescue them before they were detected.
Disguising himself as a Hollywood producer, and supported by a cast of expert forgers, deep cover CIA operatives, foreign agents, and Hollywood special effects artists, Mendez traveled to Tehran under the guise of scouting locations for a fake science fiction film called Argo. While pretending to find the perfect film backdrops, Mendez and a colleague succeeded in contacting the escapees, and smuggling them out of Iran.
Antonio Mendez finally details the extraordinarily complex and dangerous operation he led more than three decades ago. A riveting story of secret identities and international intrigue, Argo is the gripping account of the history-making collusion between Hollywood and high-stakes espionage.

I write about renewable energy, electric cars and water tech
For the past decade, solar companies and investors have largely focused their energy on transforming the electric power business of developed countries, first in Europe and then the United States. As growth in some of these markets slows, an increasing number of companies are exploring new territories elsewhere. Could Mexico — and the rest Latin America – hold some promise?
The Mexican government is apparently looking to quantify how much solar energy the country could produce and, presumably, whether it should pass policies to encourage solar energy production. The National Autonomous University of Mexico on Monday said it's getting government funding to measure the solar radiation levels in different parts of the country, reported Fox News.
Such data collection effort is a common practice by companies, research institutions and governments in large solar markets in order to estimate the energy production of solar power projects and the amount of investments and returns the projects will need and produce. The work involves measuring solar irradiance, which varies depending in part on the topography and weather pattern of a given region. Developers want to build projects in places with high solar irradiance.
Some parts of the world, such as the American Southwest, have higher readings of solar irradiance and therefore more sunny, cloudless days. And partly for that reason, giant solar farm development in the United States has been clustered in states such as California, Arizona and Nevada.
Mexico hasn't gotten much attention from solar companies, many of which see China and India as the next big frontiers. First Solar, which is in the midst of shifting its strategy to survive a market downturn that is marked by bankruptcies and trade complaints, also is working on opportunities in Middle East, Africa and Australia. In all these emerging markets, government incentives play a big role in attracting solar manufacturers and project developers.
With the right government policy in place, however, Mexico could see more solar in its energy mix. Mexico's energy department has taken a look at the country's solar energy development potential before, and a few U.S. solar companies, such as Skyline Solar, have reported selling their solar energy equipment to projects in Mexico. The World Bank has approved a $49.3 million loan to finance a project that combines natural gas power plant with a field of solar energy equipment, which will turn the sun's heat into steam to run the turbine-generator.
Elsewhere in Latin America, reports of solar power development have emerged once in a while. Chile is seeing some big solar project proposals in its northern mining region, where lots of sun and demand from energy-hungry copper mining operations have prompted mining companies to consider solar.
Peru also is attracting foreign investments in solar: T-Solar of Spain recently secured $145 million in loans to develop two solar projects totaling 44 megawatts. The overall cost of the projects is around $165 million, and some of the funding includes the up to $131 million in loans from the Overseas Private Investment Corp., which is part of the U.S. government. The OPIC is funding the projects because T-Solar makes solar panels with equipment from Silicon Valley firm Applied Materials.
Solarpack, also based in Spain, is developing a 16-megawatt solar project in Peru, in addition to two other projects it's been building in the country.
Brazil, which will host the next World Cup in 2014, is adding solar to the soccer stadium where the games will be played. Like other Latin American countries, it has a smattering of solar projects under development but will need strong government incentives to see more installations.
The U.S. government has intensified efforts to help domestic companies to snag solar-related contracts abroad, including Latin America. Aside from the OPIC, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency approved in August a $267,000 grant to El Salvador's national utility to study the feasibility of building a 3-megawatt project. The study would be done by a U.S. company.
Yes. Much Renewable activity is underway in Latin America. Infact Argentina is blessed with the best Wind Regime in the world and estimated Gross potential is about 500,000 MW. Mexico is using Sisal Agave on a massive scale for Biofuel production.

Guatemala has great locations, plus the legislation is in place for grid tie production, and a market is in place for contracts for the production of 5MW and up. It has been working for years for as diverse energy sources as Geothermal, and hydro, and now solar. http://lnkd.in/44RxnT

— SALEM, Mass. —
Five months after his right hand and wrist were shattered by a ball-peen hammer, a former bike gang member is still wearing a cast and bandages, visible as he raised that hand to swear an oath in court.
The alleged victim, 56, took the stand to testify against his former associates in the Red Devils and Hells Angels motorcycle clubs, describing how he was "put out bad" by the gang after failing to beat up a former member who showed up at a party last September.
He did more than testify, however; he wore a recording device that captured audio and video of one of those former associates, Marc Eliason, 35, of Danvers.
Eliason's attorney didn't even try to convince Judge John Lu to release him on bail, joining a second suspect, Sean Barr, 48, of Lynn, in waiving his right to a hearing on the request by prosecutors to hold them and four others without bail.
After a hearing where Lu was shown the surveillance video, he ordered three of the other suspects: George Brown, 49, of Salem, Mass., Brian Weymouth, 41, of Danvers, and Robert Defronzo, 45, of Saugus, held without bail. One defendant, Nikolas Avelis, 54, of Gloucester, said to be the president of the Red Devils, will be allowed to be released on the condition that he post $5,000 bail and remain confined to his home, monitored by an electronic ankle bracelet.
All six have pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping, mayhem and extortion, the charges stemming from a series of incidents that led to one brutal confrontation inside the Red Devils "clubhouse" in a Byfield strip mall last October.
Under questioning by prosecutor A.J. Camelio, the former Red Devil, a burly man sporting tattoos, a goatee beard and black-rimmed, yellow tinted eyeglasses, described how a former Hells Angels member showed up at a Sweet 16 party for his girlfriend's daughter.
That man "was put out bad," said the alleged victim. "He messed up with the club."
Under the club's rules, the alleged victim and other Red Devils were required to give the man a beating.
Did they? asked Camelio.
"No, we didn't," said the alleged victim.
Soon afterward, the alleged victim's life began to fall apart. Barr, a Hells Angel who worked with the victim, ordered him to quit his job. Then, he was ordered to attend a meeting, where he was told he too was being "put out bad." "I took my vest off, my belt buckle, and turned it over to him."
Later he was called to another private meeting where he was told to turn over his motorcycle to the club and then had his hand beaten with a ball-peen hammer, which caused serious injuries.
He then described further threats of terror and intimidation by gang members. Eliason allegedly told the man, "He was going to break my legs, kill me, but before that, he was going to rape my girlfriend in front of me and go after my son," the alleged victim testified.
That's when the FBI stepped in. Jeff Wood, an FBI agent who oversees gang cases on the North Shore, outfitted the man with a recording device hidden on him.
In that taped meeting, Eliason discussed his complicity.
All six are due back in court April 2 for a pre-trial hearing in the case.
Details for this story were provided by Julie Manganis, a reporter for The Salem (Mass.) News.

Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1.2 Release Features Expanded Cloud and Virtualization Enablement
December 7, 2009
by Enterprise MRG Team
Red Hat Enterprise MRG was first released in June 2008, debuting Red Hat's Messaging, Realtime and Grid technology offerings. In February 2009, Enterprise MRG 1.1 offered enhanced performance, clustering, security and tooling improvements, along with full support for the product's Grid functionality. Today, Red Hat releases Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1.2, which includes key performance improvements and support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4.
With its newest release, Enterprise MRG offers customers the expanded ability to combine Messaging, Realtime and Grid technologies with the recently released Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization product portfolio and with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 to aggregate and build internal clouds. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, delivered to customers in September and November respectively, are Red Hat's first products to incorporate Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) virtualization technology.
Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1.2 features the following enhancements to its three major technology pieces:
- Messaging
In the 1.2 release, Red Hat Enterprise MRG Messaging includes improvements to core messaging infrastructure and performance enhancements that meet highly demanding customer requirements. With these enhancements, Enterprise MRG Messaging has achieved a number of impressive industry benchmark results, including:

SoundStageDirect Glossary
Vinyl records are able to capture the purest quality of recorded music in true form. This is possible because the initial recording is captured on an analog source (usually tape) for the ultimate in High Fidelity sound, it is then pressed onto virgin vinyl. Analog recordings capture the bottom end (or bass) while adding sweetness to the high end (or treble) better than any digital recording ever could. Analog systems are still commonly used before they are digitally transferred to CD. This means that the sound then is altered in the transfer process when CD's are produced. The word fidelity means accuracy and faithfulness. High Fidelity sound is faithful to the original sound made by the artist, capturing maximum accuracy of what was intended for the listener to hear. Vinyl records capture those sounds for the ultimate High Fidelity listening experience!
180/200 GRAM Vinyl LP
These vinyl records are produced with 180 or 200 grams of high definition premium grade virgin vinyl. This is a higher quality audiophile pressing than the typical vinyl record of 100-120 grams. These limited edition LP's are manufactured with the hi-fi enthusiast in mind. A 180 or 200 gram LP is sometimes also referred to as an audiophile pressing, there is a higher bass response and an even warmer High Fidelity sound. 180 or 200 grams LP's are typically manufactured in limited amounts and are considered collectables, commanding a higher price.
Typically, a vinyl reissue is a repressing of an original LP, usually extracted from the recording's master-tapes. In some cases, reissues are remastered to lower surface noise and improve overall sonics. Reissues help preserve the music of an original recording, especially when original LPs become unavailable or can no longer be found. Reissues can be pressed on a variety of thickness from 150 gram to 200 gram and offer a great opportunity for records collectors to own many classic recordings.

Daphne, as the 48-year-old Ford Mustang came to be called, sat in storage for 25 years.
She had traveled only 50,000 miles, was missing a part or two and needed $28,000 worth of work for the journey that lay ahead.
But she was the car that Brian Shields, Micron Technology Inc. vice president of operations, settled on to fulfill a dream hed carried for nearly 40 years: to run the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, an odyssey between May and June over roadless desert; down steep, brake-melting mountain passes; and over miles of Russian roads that would occasionally and unexpectedly disappear.
The Endurance Rally Association, a British group that organized the event, called it the longest and toughest challenge anyone can drive in a vintage or classic car. Since 1907, it had been staged only four times. Shields would be part of the fifth.
Its not a vacation, said Shields, 51, who first read about the rally as a 12-year-old.
Brian needed a co-pilot someone who could spell him at the wheel, but whose primary job would be to navigate long stretches with no road signs, using just topographical maps, a trip computer and a GPS.
He chose his daughter, Chantal, then 22.
(If) I am going to do it with somebody and be with them for 33 days, there are not many people on that list, Shields said. You go first to your family. My close friends probably couldnt hold a candle to my daughter when it comes to navigation.
Chantal now lives in Seattle, but spent much of her childhood in Caldwell, where she graduated from Vallivue High School. Shes studied graphic arts and is considering college in Seattle.
Shields and Shields were a father-daughter team that had not seen a great deal of each other in recent years. Dad lives in Singapore he does also have a home in Boise and Chantal lives in the United States. Brian started at Micron in 1986.
It was a team of two strong-willed people, Brian said.
As Chantal laid out navigation plans, she told her father she would brook no questioning of her judgment on directions. If you ever say, Are you sure? I will have to hit you, she remembers telling him.
He never did.
I know my personality well enough to keep my mouth shut when I need to, her father said.
More than a year before the race, Brian was looking for a car with which to traipse though China, Mongolia, Siberia and Europe. It had to fall into one of two categories: built before 1941, called vintage; or built before 1975, called classic.
He didnt have time for a thorough search, so he decided to use the white Mustang that had been a high school graduation present for Chantals mother.
It had sat outside for five years, then in closed storage for another two decades.
We had to rebuild everything on that car, Brian said. (It was) missing one fender and one bumper.
The V-8 engine was rebuilt and the standard 16-gallon gas tank replaced with a 24-gallon tank, which could keep the car going nearly 400 miles.
Chantal nicknamed the Mustang Daphne, after the British physical therapist on the TV sitcom Frasier. That added to the British Isles flavor, she said, since her father is Scottish.
The rebuilding by friends in Boise got done just in time for the car to be shipped in April.
By May, Daphne was among 96 cars, including a small crop of Mustangs, ready for the trek Volvos, MGs, Jaguars and a Russian Moskvitch among them. Older vintage models included a 1913 Model T, a 1929 Chrysler and a 1930 Rolls Royce Phantom.
On a May morning, in the shadow of Chinas Great Wall, drivers began their journey.
Daphne carried five gallons of drinkable water, a couple of gas cans and the equivalent of a small Mustang auto parts store as insurance against breakdown in the middle of nowhere.
It was terrifying at first, Chantal recalled. I am part of the generation where our smartphones do everything for us, so you dont really have to think about maps or anything. So taking this on and learning to use a marine GPS, I was really worried about it.
Thirty-six hours out of Peking, urban life had given way to a harsh, rural existence. In some areas of the Great Wall, you could see where they have taken the wall down to build shelter for themselves, Brian said. The further north you go, the worse it gets.
Two days into the trip, the radio broke. Brian had upgraded the radio so it looked like the stock model, but had a USB port. My daughter was very unhappy because she had downloaded all this stuff. I (was) happy because I didnt have to listen to her music, Brian said.
Besides, he said, when the radio is on, you dont hear parts break on the car.
But hearing those sounds eventually wore on Brian. A clunk here or a bang there made him all the more worried about the next one and the next one. The dread was tiring.
When Brian and Chantal talk about their rally experience, they focus heavily on Mongolia and the Gobi Desert almost as if that was where they proved they were up to the demands of the longest and toughest race.
It was mentally challenging, said Chantal. Yet it ended up being my favorite part of the whole trip.
Mongolia is wild and untamed. Its so cool to be one of only so many people who say they have driven all the way across it, said Chantal.
The Gobi isnt just sand. It is vast open spaces and sagebrush, Brian said, sort of like an endless Nevada.
So was it like being on one of Idahos worst backcountry roads?
I would have loved to have a road like that, said Brian.
On Day 7, they encountered one of their toughest obstacles: miles and miles of rock-strewn landscape. Boulders 12 to 14 inches big peppered their route. Daphnes suspension failed and would require repair once the team got to Russia.
The front of the car came down so low, I was pushing sand, Brian said.
They crept along at 10 mph.
The frustration is so high, but there is nothing you can do, he said. If you dont get to where you are going, there is nowhere else to go. That is where the food is and that is where the gas is.
Mongolia is also the place where Brian glimpsed how mature and responsible his daughter had become.
As they drove, a car driven by a Japanese team rolled into a ditch. Brian stopped and turned to his daughter to tell her to call a medical team.
She already had the phone out and was on top of that, he said. She was thinking ahead.
Chantal had been growing up before his eyes, he said later.
At night, drivers would stop in the middle of the desert, pitch a tent, and grab a bite of food and some sleep.
There wasnt a city, a house or another soul around.
Then, suddenly, people would show up, many packing cellphones with cameras.
Horses are revered in Mongolia. Daphne was popular because of the Mustangs horse insignias.
The visitors took pictures and asked Chantal for autographs.
The kids loved it, Brian said.
In Ulan Bator, Mongolias capital, Daphne needed oil. Chantal had no idea where to find it. She went to her hotel and asked. The hotel employee didnt just get her a taxi, but called a relative who came and took Chantal around to three auto shops to get the oil.
It was really cool, she said.
Brian and Chantal left Mongolia and soon found themselves in Russian farmland miles of it, for days. Brian likened the repetitive experience to the movie Groundhog Day. Drive through farmland all day. Get up the next morning and repeat.
June 12 was Chantals 23rd birthday. She and her father were driving down a Russian highway. An English couple driving the rally in a Chevy pickup was just ahead.
In the oncoming lane was a semi, Brian said. Behind it was a car with three people inside. The car pulled out from behind the semi to pass and collided head-on with the Chevy, killing the Englishwoman who was driving and the three people in the Russian car, Brian said.
The accident cast a pall on the race, Chantal said. I liked her a lot, she said of the driver.
That evening at dinner, two racers who knew her offered impromptu eulogies.
Arriving in Europe put Brian and Chantal in more familiar territory, but the road still posed problems.
Coming down the Swiss Alps, Daphnes brakes overheated. Brian would push the pedal to the floor, literally grinding to a halt. Hed get off the road and wait for the brakes to cool.
The brakes werent set up for that, Brian said. They are built for a boulevard in Los Angeles.
Paris was finally in sight, the finish line not far down the road.
Brian, who had driven most of the way, turned Daphnes wheel over to his daughter for the final stretch.
He hadnt planned to have her drive across the finish line. But by the time we got to Paris, I felt she deserved the opportunity after a job well done, Brian said.
The team was 19th in its class, 33rd overall.
The accomplishment left Chantal feeling awesome.
I am so proud of that car, she said.
After Daphne crossed the finish line, Brian had had enough. He walked away from the car. I didnt want to sit in it again, he said.
Five months later, Daphne is back in the shop, getting another rebuild. Brian saw Daphne when he was back in Boise. He got behind the wheel and turned over the engine. It felt just the same, he said.
Daphne ran a hard race. That 7,600 miles was like 200,000 miles for most cars, Brian said, and she deserves to be retired.
Once shes rebuilt, she could become Chantals car.
Brian, however, is already thinking of the next rally. In 2017, a race goes over the Himalayas and through Nepal, ending at the Taj Mahal.
Thats a whole new country I have never seen before, he said.
If he decides to go, his navigator is ready to travel.
Yeah, definitely, Chantal said.

Death at the Door: Part 1
In part one of this Indian tale, Savitri discovers her daunting task: to defeat Yama, the lord of death.
BY: Deepak Chopra
This article, the first in a 12-part series, is reprinted with permission of IntentBlog.
While writing a new book on the afterlife, (Life After Death: The Burden of Proof
) I kept being drawn back to stories that I'd heard in India as a child. In these stories the abstract issues of death, immortality, and eternity acquire a human face as ordinary people confronted the mystery of death. I hoped that reader will be intrigued by a world where heroes battle darkness in order to emerge into the light.
In this case the hero is a woman named Savitri, and the enemy she must defeat is Yama, the lord of death. Yama shows up in her front yard one day, waiting to take away her husband the moment he returns from his work as a woodcutter. Will she succeed? What strategy can possibly turn Death away from his inexorable mission?
The following tale is a framing device for the main content of Life After Death, which concerns deep issues from the world's spiritual traditions as well as advanced science. These issues appear in parable form in the story of Savitri.
Part 1
Long ago, in the dense forests that once encircled the holy city of Benares, there was ample work for woodcutters. One such was the handsome Satyavan, who was all the more handsome because he had so much love for his wife, whose name was Savitri.
One day Savitri lay dreamily in bed contemplating her happiness, which seemed complete. Suddenly she noticed a figure sitting cross-legged in the dusty clearing that served for a front yard. A wandering monk, she thought to herself. She put rice and vegetables in a bowl and rushed out to offer them to the holy man, since hospitality is a sacred duty.
"I need no food," the stranger said, pushing away the bowl that Savitri had placed on the shade-dappled ground before him. "I will wait here."
Savitri drew back in horror, because suddenly she knew who her guest was. Not a wandering monk at all but Death himself, who is known in India as Lord Yama.
"Who are you waiting for?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"For one named Satyavan." The lord of death spoke politely. He was used to having absolute authority over mortals, and he approached them simply, with just a touch of arrogance.
"Satyavan!" the loving Savitri cried. She could hardly keep from fainting when she heard her husband's name." But he's strong and healthy, and we love each other dearly. Why should he die?"
Yama shrugged. "Everything will be as it will be," he said indifferently.
"But if you care so little," Savitri said, her wits coming back to her, "then why not take someone else? There are sick and wretched people begging for the release of death. Visit them and leave my house in peace."
"I will wait here," Yama repeated, unmoved by her plea and the tears welling in Savitri's eyes. In Yama's face she saw a world where everything is nameless and without pity.

The Lady of the White Well is a tragic figure of the Feywild. She is the daughter of Sehanine and an eladrin knight, bound by Corellon's anger to the lake where she was conceived and born. Many suitors have come to that shore seeking the Lady's boon. To a rare few, she bestows the sword of the White Well in the hope of finding a true champion whose exploits can secure her freedom. This article introduces the Lady's sword of the White Well as a new fey pact weapon for those who would win the Lady of the White Well's favor.
It began with a ripple. The White Well's still waters, reflecting the fey moon's pale light until the pool appeared milky white, stirred as if some irreverent spectator had tossed a pebble just to see what would happen. The ripple became ripples. The ripples became froth. The water boiled and seethed with alarmingly violent motion.

---- — During the last few years, professional, collegiate and high-school athletes have been the focus of intense research resulting in new procedures for diagnosing, measuring, tracking and treating concussions for sports-related head injuries.
It's about time. Some states, such as New York, have passed legislation requiring concussion-management policies for high schools in the state. Other states have picked up the responsibility for their student athletes without being compelled to do so.
This is serious business. Some parents have even opted to keep their children away from contact sports for fear of brain injury.
All you need do is read some of the headlines around the country to gauge its seriousness: 3,500 former players of the National Football League have filed lawsuits because they suffered brain injuries during their playing days and few in the NFL took the issue seriously. A school-board member at a Dover high school in New Hampshire, himself a medical doctor, has suggested the school drop its entire football program because of concern for such violent injuries.
And on the West Coast, Pop Warner football leagues have come under scrutiny for allowing helmet-to-helmet tackling and offering rewards for violent tackles. These are kids 10, 11 and 12 years of age, for heaven's sake.
The Peru Central School District, like other districts in the North Country, have initiated stringent policies to diagnose brain trauma in sports, treat the injury and ensure the athlete is healthy before returning to competition. In fact, Peru had a concussion-management program in place for three years prior to the state mandate to do so by July 12 of this year.
And it hopes to test all high-school and middle-school students during the next school year.
In Peru, the initial assessment of a student-athlete begins prior to a sports season. The athletes are required to complete a so-called test on a computer utilizing special software to measure various skills: memory, visual, verbal, shapes and colors. It also gauges reaction time.
The resulting scores become the baseline in those skills to measure the effects of the athlete getting his or her bell rung or receiving any other blow to the head. The baseline scores are good for two years.
If an athlete suffers such an injury, he or she must take the test again between 24 and 72 hours after being headache-free, which is the main determination in diagnosing concussion. There are four versions of the test. The injured athlete can retake it 48 hours after each attempt.
But more important is the "return to play" protocol. It will be a minimum of eight days before the athlete can return to competition. Besides the 72-hour post-injury waiting period, there are five additional days: light aerobic exercise on day 1; sport-specific exercising on day two; non-contact training on day three; full-contact training on day four; and returning to play on day five.
We can rest assured that our area school districts have seriously taken up the challenge to address concussion management.

During their meeting Tuesday morning, the Wapello County Board of Supervisors approved two amendments concerning the communications tower on Fourth Street.
Supervisor Jerry Parker said new mounts are part of an amendment the board approved during the meeting. The board also approved a second amendment, which pertains to using a high-grade washed limestone.
"These amendments won't add any cost," he said.
Instead of river gravel, the county will use high-grade washed limestone.
The board also approved a resolution for the sheriff to apply for an alcohol traffic grant," Parker said. "It'll also pay for $13,000 for overtime in the sheriff's department."
Winter weather prevented coordinator Katy Anderson from giving her update on the Historic Hills Scenic Byway, according to Parker.
The supervisors also approved a federal aid agreement to renovate a bridge over Cedar Creek on the Dahlonega Road.
"We're requesting $400,000 from federal government assistance in replacing this bridge," Parker said.

Pearl jam, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Belly, the Lemonheads, Porno for Pyros – all the major alterna-heavies got name checks in Time magazine's recent cover valentine to Generation Rage. All, that is, except Henry Rollins: the guy who helped set the noise in motion over a decade ago with the viciously independent Los Angeles band Black Flag; who largely pioneered and popularized the current spoken-word movement; and whose performances with his own SWAT-rock team, the Rollins Band, continue to set new standards in brain-frying punk metal and personal exorcism.
Rollins couldn't care less about being left out of the hoopla. "I'm too busy with my head down, getting it on, to wonder who likes me and who doesn't," he says bluntly while washing down a big plate of pasta with a half-dozen coffee refills in a restaurant on New York City's Lower East Side. Actually, Rollins doesn't think he even belongs in such tony crossover company as Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain.
"Put it this way," he argues. "When everyone who is now 18 turns 40, they're not going to be saying, 'Oh, Henry Rollins.' They're going to be going, 'Oh, Eddie. Oh, Kurt.' That's the way it is. I'm opening for Eddie Vedder next week. Fine. Good gig. Great guy. But those are the guys on the cusp. I'm not. I'm too old. I'm not hip. And you can't dance to what I say."
Well, Rollins is right on one count: You can't dance to most of what he sings or says. His thing, onstage and record, is sweating out the poison – turning up the rage and pumping out the angst, often burrowing deep into his own traumas (like the 1991 murder of his best friend, Joe Cole, during a robbery attempt outside Rollins' house in Los Angeles) for source material.
But Rollins, 32, is hardly over the hill. As for not being hip, consider his résumé of the past two years: a major-label deal with Imago Records; a Gap ad; sold-out spoken-word tours; hosting MTV's Alternative Nation as well as his own spoken-word edition of MTV Unplugged.
Whether he likes it or not, Rollins has become a kind of alterna-guru – the sort of father figure that Vedder calls for friendly advice and whose no-nonsense attitude toward his art and life is considered a marvel by his peers. As Living Colour's Vernon Reid put it one afternoon while watching the Rollins Band tear it up on the '91 Lollapalooza tour: "Henry Rollins is not about whether the audience is into it or not. It's about how he's into it."
A native of Washington, Rollins describes himself as "a generic dysfunctional child from a dysfunctional, shitty marriage." His parents divorced when he was young, and he was raised by his mother. After graduating from high school in 1979 and having a one-semester go at college, he did the day-job grind until auditioning for Black Flag in the summer of '81. For the next five years, he became the voice and, for many of that band's rabid fans, the soul of the Flag.
When the group broke up in 1986, Rollins hit the solo trail, forming the Rollins Band in '87 with guitarist Chris Haskett, drummer Sim Cain, bassist Andrew Weiss and soundman Theo Van Rock. At the same time, he worked parallel shifts on the then-fledgling spoken-word circuit and ran his own independent publishing company, 2.13.61 (named after his birth date).
If the last two years have been hyperaction time for Rollins, 1994 promises no letup. The realigned Rollins Band, with new powerhouse bassist Melvin Gibbs, recently played its official coming-out gig at CBGB's; the group's follow-up to 1992's The End of Silence is set for spring release. Works in progress due out under Rollins' 2.13.61 book imprint include efforts by Iggy Pop, Alan Vega of the legendary electropunk group Suicide and Rollins' own personal journals covering his Black Flag years. And the archival One Records label Rollins recently founded with producer Rick Rubin is in the process of exhuming late '70s and early '80s recordings by Vega and No Wave sax maniac James Chance.
"I'm not into fame. I'm not into making money, outside of financing my books. I'm not into status," Rollins insists. "My thing is basically about time – not wasting it."
In your music and writing, you've become associated with rage and hatred. But sitting here, you don't seem like a particularly hateful guy.
I don't want to kill people. I like the idea of it. Sometimes I get so mad I want to kill everyone. But it's a way to vent that very real frustration that you feel. I don't have a gun. I have a microphone and a typewriter. Big difference.
I just try to get what's inside of me out. That expression is often very harsh, aggressive, crude, whatever. But to me, rage is something that can be very soulful. If you listen to The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, by Gil Scott-Heron, that album is dripping with rage. But the guy is so articulate, the burn is a beautiful burn.
Then again, when you played at CBGB's the other night, the first words you sang were "You're so fucking weak/You repel me."
I wrote the song about a guy who repels me. I usually wouldn't waste time immortalizing someone like that in song. But this guy really disgusts me. Yeah, that song is a full-on attack.
And it's the only time in a song I've ever used the word fuck. I don't cuss in songs. It's too easy. I love the idea of us coming out with a record that is heavier than N.W.A – hopefully, in my mind – but you can't put a sticker on it.
Which is the one thing I learned from Jim Morrison, in one interview where he said, "Guns aren't dangerous, minds are dangerous. You want a weapon? It's right here" [points to his head]. You hear that song "Five to One"? That's so incendiary.
But the power of Morrison's music has long been cheapened by overfamiliarity and overexposure on classic-rock radio. Do you think the new rock & roll – the so-called alternative music – has the power to change people's lives or the world around them?
The media and the means to broadcast the music has never been more effective. Imagine that Jimi Hendrix had just done Electric Ladyland now. With MTV, with Pay-Per-View, with stadium gigs, Lollapalooza. Imagine Jimi Hendrix with 32 tracks of digital access. He would be like Prince on methedrine.
But the music isn't as strong as the media. I've seen a lot of concerts; I've seen stuff that was cool. But I've never seen harder rock and more out-and-out scary talent than Led Zeppelin on the U.S. tour before Bonham died. Me and Ian [MacKaye] from Fugazi were there; they opened up with white light and "Kashmir." It was a powerful moment; I'll never forget it.
Or seeing Ted Nugent in the '70s at the Capitol Center in D.C. This was a band playing up to 300 nights a year. I see these reviews – "This fierce band, blah, blah, blah." I go, "You know that guy in Damn Yankees? He kicks your fuckin' ass." That's why if you bring me to some gig these days, I'm like "You got me out of my room for this?"
So what is so important about the new rock & roll that it makes the cover of 'Time"?
This is my own little rock theory: In my mind, Nirvana slayed the hair bands. They shot the top off the poodles. All of a sudden, all those bands like Poison, Bon Jovi and Warrant became like Rommel in the desert: overextended, bloated, no more Vaseline. And now they're just rusty tanks in the desert with no gas. It's those bands like Nirvana, that came along at that time, who are going to be remembered for changing the face of rock.
That generation of bands also recognizes the independent ethic of your solo work and days with Black Flag as a major influence and a kind of moral rudder. In our recent Pearl Jam story [RS 668], Eddie Vedder mentions actually calling you for advice about dealing with his newfound superstardom.
Yeah, he called me. We rapped for about 80 minutes or so. My take on the whole thing was, here's an honest guy in a very weird situation. I said, "Eddie, usually people as big as you are are real schmucks. Because they pulled every string to make that happen. But you haven't. You put the shit out there, and people went, 'Thank you, that's what I've been waiting to hear.' "
I said, "Man, there's no experience I've ever had that can help you. I've done about 22 albums in my life. If you added them altogether, you still would not million sales. So what do I know about putting out one album and selling five million copies?" I just said to him, "Drink your carrot juice, breathe deep, have fun, and don't do what you don't want to."
Do you often get other bands calling the Rollins Advice Line? You've got plenty of war stories to tell. Even someone like Vedder, for all his scuffling, didn't spend as much time storming the battlements as you did with Black Flag.
Most of these young bands, Belly or whatever, did not have to break the paths like D.O.A. or Black Flag did, where you would play and go to the club owner, say, "Can we have our money?" and he would hold a billy club and say, "Let's fight for it." When you go out on the road and take it in the nose like that, it gives you good seasoning, puts a little timbre in your voice and outlook, puts some interesting lines in your face and your thinking, which a lot of these bands might not be getting. Because they drop one album and it's star time all of a sudden. I don't know what effect that will have on the music. All I know is my reality.
Your reality is changing as well. When we talked on the first Lollapalooza tour, you did not disguise your contempt for MTV. But this year you actually hosted "Alternative Nation."
Here's what I see when I see MTV: really boring videos by a bunch of boring bands. But I also see nothing but potential. You've got millions of impressionable young people watching avidly every day, anything they put on. I see MTV, and my mind goes, "Why don't we give them a half-hour a day on what HIV is or what heroin or cocaine can do to you?" Let's give them health food instead of endless Swatch ads.
I'd done Alternative Nation before. When Kennedy was out of town, her producer called and said, "Do you want to host for two weeks?" I said absolutely. I did my best improv, ripped on the bands in a fun way, poking fun at the Cure. Like "What's up with a 34year-old guy with that hair? C'mon." I didn't hype myself. I took advantage of communication, having some fun, ruffling some feathers.
What about the Gap ad you did?
I do different jobs for different reasons. When I did the first Gap ad, the money didn't mean shit. These days, $850 is nothing to me by the time the agent and management get through with it. So why? Because I knew the ad was going in Rolling Stone. Two years ago, you wouldn't cough at me. I wanted to get a full page ad in Rolling Stone, like walking into your house and going, "Ahhh, I need some room to stretch."
I've also done voice-overs for the Gap. Why? This sounds loaded – I did it for the money. Do I enjoy standing in a studio reading copy? No, I'd rather drink paint. But with the money I can make in 10 minutes doing that, I bought more software [for the book company] and put out two hooks. I love going into major media holes, slick agencies, taking that money and putting it into my own little art projects. I love spending corporate money on counterculture art. To me, it's a Rambo mission.

Many of you are either planning your holiday getaways to a beautiful Winter wonderland or maybe you're living in it already. Wouldn't it be nice to be walking through a beautiful snow-covered landscape and stumble upon modern architecture to keep you warm and cozy?
This modern cabin (above) would be exceptionally great because you could just lounge around and watch it snow for hours with those big window walls. Curl up in a modern chair, sip on some cocoa, and read your favorite book...that's what we would do!
Zuo Draper White Lounge Chair
A modern sofa with soft fabric and layers of cushions seems like the perfect addition to any modern cabin. Adding textures in a soft neutral palette with gray, white, and tan will give your home a serene feeling, keeping it warm and cozy.
A rustic modern cabin on a lake would also be a great vacation in a winter wonderland!
How beautiful would it be to walk into a rustic cabin and discover a bright modern interior filled with all-white furnishings? The gorgeous snow covered forest wallpaper makes you feel like you're still in the snowy outdoors, but you would be warm and curled up on a modern white sofa. The only thing that's missing is a stylish floor lamp so you can read and fill yourself with knowledge on your relaxing getaway.

Whether it's architecture or interiors, we're not alone in our love for the boldness of black. This risky, bold color can be found everywhere nowadays. The perfect partner for this hue is gold!
Keep in mind, gold doesn't have to mean a metallic material.... Take a look at the image above, even the glow from modern pendant lighting and the wood furniture provides a gold element to the space. It softens the boldness of the black architecture.
Image from Décor 8
Like the architecture above, this bold room is dramatic and chic. The gold, found in the lamp and the wood tones, soften it up a bit and make I the perfect space for rest.
Here's some ideas for incorporating this dark color into your modern home.
1. Bronze Gold Art Glass 11-Inch-H Rectangle Wall Sconce 2. Vela Gold 40 1/4-Inch-W Sunburst Wall Mirror 3. Contemporary Black Metal Possini Euro Dome Pendant Light 4. Lulu Bronze Burst Babette Holland Table Lamp 5. Paige Black Upholstered 39-Inch-H Wingback Chair 6. Bachelor 1-Drawer Driftwood 24-Inch-W TV Table

The best office spaces are those that are creative and can tell a story. My desk was built by my husband. He built 2 sawhorses and then took an old counter from a boutique closing in the area, and attached it to the top. It's the BEST.
Another key ingredient to a great office space is of course good lighting. Pendant lights are stylish, while attractive task lamps are necessary. And both is even better, like the modern office space above.
This vintage office space (above) has a lot of character. It's not big in size and fits perfectly in that room. If you're looking for a desk that just needs to house your laptop, this is a great size for you. I also love the art gallery above the desk. It creates a fabulous corner to work in.
This rustic office space (above) must have a fantastic story! The wood looks reclaimed or possibly older than me. It creates a very organic look. And I love that this whole work space does not feel stuffy nor too serious. They did a great job mixing materials and textures to give the space a lived in but very stylish look. Modern black table lamps are great for adding contrast to a neutral space.
Graphic designer Cassie Pyle needed a stylish space to work in, and I think she created just that. The walnut desk is a good size for a small space and it also offers plenty of storage. I like how she paired the filing cabinet next to the desk for even more storage. The muted tones throughout this space work well together! And even if you use a stylish pendant light, don't rule out a modern wall sconce. As you can see, they compliment each other perfectly.
Remember, when designing your office space, the sky is the limit. Think outside of the box and you'll create a masterpiece.

When we moved in to our current home, the first detail we noticed was that our modern bedroom was quite a bit smaller than our previous home. It wasn't a huge deal because we had already downsized our belongings. But I still wanted the space to look spacious and bright. To do this in any space, all you need to do is keep with a bright white scheme.
This calls for a pretty white on the walls. The great thing about white paint is that you can pair it with any color that you'd like. When painting with color, it binds you to that specific color scheme. The bedroom above started with white walls and then added a fun yellow stripe down the wall and into the floors.
Another detail to remember when working with a small bedroom space is white bedding makes everything better. Well, maybe not literally but it sure makes for a sophisticated yet playful bedroom. One of my favorite things about hotels is the pretty crisp white bedding that you crawl into every night. You can have that same feel in your own space. I also like the way hotels are using hanging pendant lights in their bedroom designs. The room above is a great example of both elements.
A modern color scheme that is timeless is the classic black and white duo. It can be left alone or can be added onto with other colors. Again, the white makes everything seem more open and the black just adds some drama to a stark space. This bedroom shown above is a perfect example of black and white done right. Another way to achieve this look is by adding contemporary black lighting fixtures to an all white room.

Daily Star
---- —
Some local chefs are cooking winning fare.
A five-student team from the State University College of Technology at Delhi recently won the American Culinary Federation's Northeast Region Student Team Championship.
The competition was during the 2012 ACF Northeast Regional Conference in Niagara Falls from April 28 to 30.
This is the sixth time a SUNY Delhi team has won the regional competition and qualified for the national competition in Florida in July, where it will have a chance to repeat their predecessors' 2010 national victory, a media release from the federation said.
Also, Ross Thompson of Oneonta won Riviana Foods' What's in Your Wok? Fried Rice Competition at the same conference, and he advances to the national level.
Thompson, a member of ACF Chefs and Cooks of the Catskill Mountains, is sous chef at The Plains at Parish Homestead in Oneonta.
In the recent event, Thompson and three other contestants had 20 minutes to create an original fried-rice dish. Thompson won $250 for his African Fried Rice. He said it was his first ACF competition.
"It means a lot to win because I have worked hard to keep up my ACF certification," he said in a release. "I really want to put my name out there as a chef."
The regional conference drew more than 500 chefs, cooks and professionals and also offered seminars and cooking demonstrations.
Members of the SUNY Delhi team, which represented ACF Chefs and Cooks of the Catskill Mountains, are James Russell, Leonard Messina, Stephanie Wickert, captain Mathew Howard and Edward Maley. The American Academy of Chefs, ACF's honor society, gave $1,000 to the team to assist with expenses to travel to the national competition.
The SUNY Delhi team will compete at nationals against three teams.
"Winning the regional competition is proof to the team that all the hard work was worth it," Victor Sommo, team coach, said in the release. "I think the team is most excited that they get to cook together again."
A State University College at Oneonta sophomore has won a competitive scholarship from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, better known as NOAA.
David Loveless of Roseland, N.J., a meteorology major, has been selected to receive an Ernest Hollings Scholarship provided by the NOAA, parent agency of the National Weather Service, a media release said. About 100 Hollings undergraduate scholars are selected annually from an average of 900 applications.
Loveless will receive $8,000 of academic assistance during his junior and senior years and a 10-week paid internship at a NOAA facility next summer. Loveless is an excellent student and "a great example of the kind of leader we hope all students can be," Todd Ellis, assistant professor of earth and atmospheric sciences at SUNY Oneonta, said in the release.
Loveless said he was "born to be a meteorologist."
"It has been my dream to work for the National Weather Service," he said in the release. "So working with the NOAA will be an awesome experience."
Hartwick College collected tons of recyclable materials in about two months, which resulted in a third-place ranking in the college's first outing in the RecycleMania Tournament.
Between Feb. 5 and March 31, Hartwick students, faculty and staff recovered 64,524 pounds of organic and recyclable materials, a media release from the Oneonta college said.
Hartwick placed third place among 24 New York state schools in the per capita category and 22nd out of 321 schools nationwide, among other results cited.
In 2001, two schools competed, the RecycleMania website said, and this year, 605 colleges and universities entered the challenge.
"It's very exciting for Hartwick to do this well in our very first year of the competition," Dan Morse, Hartwick's coordinator of Sustainability Programs, said in the release.
RecycleMania is a trademarked program of the RecycleMania Inc., a nonprofit organization. Keep America Beautiful provides program management, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's WasteWise program and the College & University Recycling Coalition provide program support, with corporate sponsorships.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. --- First-year Leigh Fryxell did not have any big-meet jitters in her first New England Division III Women's Track and Field Championships and came away with a victory in the javelin throw on Saturday in a meet delayed by rain and lightning on at MIT.
Senior high jumper Danielle Sheppard was the other Colby champion, taking the high jump. Meanwhile, Brittany Reardon once again had a big meet after breaking two school records.
Reardon finished fifth in the 100 hurdles (14.91) and was seventh in the pole vault (11-7.75). Her time in the 100 hurdles broke 26-year-old school record of 15.02 set by Terrie Hanna '85 in 1985. Reardon's leap in the pole vault bettered the 2003 record of Liz Frederick '03, who an 11-7.
Colby finished in fifth place out of 29 scoring teams with a score of 46.
Fryxell had a toss of 130 feet, 4 inches on her second throw of six on the day. She earned 10 points for the victory and won by more than three feet over Westfield State senior Rachel Ryan (127-06). Fryxell also took ninth place in the heptathlon with 3,659 points.
Sheppard won the high jump because of fewer misses after finishing with a leap of 5-4.25. WPI's Julie Eagle and Wheaton's Mollie Lane had the same height, but Sheppard had just two jumps to reach the height and Eagle and Lane had three.
Greta Wells took fourth in the 3,000 steeplechase in 11:06.45 and teammate Emma Linhard was right behind her in fifth with a 11:07.16. Brittney Bell took sixth in the 400 meters (58.80), Kelley Foster was sixth in the discus throw (119-01), and Annabelle Hicks was ninth in the 100 meters (12.73)
Hicks, Courtney Laird, Bell, and Reardon took fourth in the 400 relay with a 49.48.
