Official website
Imedi Media Holding (Georgian: იმედი მედია ჰოლდინგი) is a private television and Radio Company in Georgia. The stations were formerly owned in part by the late Georgian media tycoon Badri Patarkatsishvili, and Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.
Radio Imedi first aired on 105.9 FM in December 2001 in Tbilisi. Since December 2003 "Radio Imedi" has broadcast 24 hours a day across all the settled territory in Georgia. The station mainly concentrates on news and analytical coverage but broadcasts pop music as well, particularly at night-time.
During the Sandro Girgvliani murder investigation, Patarkatsishvili stated that the Georgian authorities were mounting pressure on his station and other businesses after it had broadcast details of the scandal. "It is no secret that Imedi television was the first one which reported the circumstances of Sandro Girgvliani's murder...this alone became a reason for the authorities' dissatisfaction, which triggered the financial authorities to actively launch a probe into my businesses and my companies so [as] to force me to mount pressure against [my] journalists..and facilitate the creation of a favorable image of the authorities," Badri Patarkatsishvili went on to say that he would never yield to pressure from the authorities.
This pressure has been assumed by some as a reason behind Imedi Media Holdings decision to sell shares to News Corp. Some have speculated that with Rupert Murdoch involved with the station, the current government will find it harder to exert pressure on Imedi without generating publicity in the West.
The station carried statements by opposition leaders and broadcast footage of police breaking up protests during the 2007 November Georgian demonstrations and went off air after riot police burst into their offices on November 7, 2007.1
The Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC) has suspended Imedi TV's broadcast license for a three-month period, citing violation of law on broadcasting by the television station. The GNCC says in its decision that on November 7, Imedi TV reported "an obvious disinformation that law enforcement officers were planning to storm cathedral of Holy Trinity... This report has created an imminent and real threat of overgrowing riots into large-scale massive unrests, which could eventually led to uncontrollable processes." Georgian officials have further accused Patarkatsishvili of controlling the Imedi TV's editorial policy and using it for inciting unrests. As a proof for their allegations, Georgia's General Prosecutor's Office released, on November 16, 2007, several taped phone conversations between Patarkatsishvili and Giorgi Targamadze, chief of Imedi TV's political programs, and also between a producer and a journalist of Imedi TV. Meanwhile, Rustavi 2, which is regarded as close to the government,2 TV aired on 16 November a half an hour documentary about Imedi TV's role in the anti-governmental demonstrations, which is based exclusively on an interview of deputy chief prosecutor, Nika Gvaramia.3
Tbilisi City Court ruled on December 6, 2007 to unfreeze Imedi's assets – the last remaining legal obstacle for the television station to get back on air. A criminal case against its co-owner, Badri Patarkatsishvili, is still pending, however.4 Yet, the company's management stated that the studio equipment was badly damaged in a November 7 police raid.5 Later on December 12, 2007, Imedi TV resumed broadcasts thirty four days after the television station was shut down.6
On December 26, 2007, several leading journalists from Imedi TV left their jobs following the release of video and audio recordings by the authorities suggesting that Badri Patarkatsishvili, the station's founder and co-owner, was plotting a coup. Later that day, the television station's management announced that Imedi TV temporarily suspended broadcasts until the station's "legal status in respect of ownership is not clarified." "By doing so we are distancing from dirty political games", said Giorgi Targamadze, head of the Imedi TV's political programs.7
Badri Afanasyev, a former Imedi producer, asked political asylum in Russia on October 17, 2009.8
2010 Russian invasion hoax
On the evening of March 13, 2010 Imedi aired a deliberate false report that caused a shockwave across the country. According to the false news, Russia invaded Georgia after a "terror attack" on the president of South Ossetian republic, Eduard Kokoity. The report suggested that four Georgian soldiers in South Ossetia had been killed, and that President Mikhail Saakashvili and his government had been evacuated. In several minutes, however, the source "reported" the death of Saakashvili and creation of the People's government headed by one of the opposition leaders, Nino Burjanadze. The program, that lasted for half an hour, also reported about aerial bombardment of the country's air and seaports and only at the end, Imedi presenters pointed out that this was a "special report about possible development of the events." At the beginning of the broadcast there were also warnings that the program showed a sequence of possible events that could only occur "if Georgian society is not brought together against Russia's plans."910
The hoax was condemned by many public figures both in Georgia and abroad, including Georgian patriarch Ilia.11 Burjanadze is considering to file a legal issue against Imedi.12 The report caused widespread panic in Georgia. Many civilians fled their homes to escape the "invasion", while units of the Georgian Army took up defensive positions. There were instances of heart attacks and fainting upon news of the invasion.13
Ownership issue
A preliminary agreement on the purchase of Imedi Holding's shares was signed in New York on April 28, 2007, details of which remained confidential. At some point it was owned by I-Media, which had given power of attorney over 100% of its Imedi shares to News Corp. Europe, and its board chairman was Badri Patarkatsishvili.
After Patarkatsishvili's death in February 2008, the issue of ownership of the Imedia Media Holding again came to a public attention. Joseph Kay, alias Joseph Kakalashvili, a stepson of Patarkatsishvili's aunt announced that he had bought Imedi TV from Gogi Jaoshvili, reportedly a close friend of Patarkatsishvili, who owned 70% of JMG, a company with a 65% stake in I-Media, which is the founder and 100% owner of Imedi TV. According to papers submitted to the Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC) by Imedi TV in December 2007, the remaining 35% of the I-Media shares are owned by Universal, a firm founded by three relatives of Patarkatsishvili. Kay claimed that Patarkatsishvili had asked him shortly before his death "to take care of Imedi" and pledged to "restore the face it [Imedi] had before Badri Patarkatsishvili went into politics." He also rejected the allegations voiced by some Georgian opposition politicians that the authorities were in fact behind the deal.14
The ownership dispute was settled following an agreement between the Patarkatsishvili family and the government of Georgia in July 2011. The Patarkatsishvili family renounced all claims to the ownership of Imedi TV.15
Imedi TV has since been criticized for being pro-governmental. The station manager Giorgi Arveladze is the country's former economics minister and a longtime friend of President Mikhail Saakashvili.16

NewsCapade will be in Vermillion Oct. 7-9 The Newseum, the world's only interactive museum of news, has created a mobile exhibit that will bring some of the museum's most popular artifacts, videos and displays to Vermillion on Oct. 7-9. The Argus Leader will co-host NewsCapade's visit to the city.
Newseum's NewsCapade with Al Neuharth will be at The University of South Dakota on the Law School Mall and will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Admission to NewsCapade is free. For public information, call 1-877-NEWSEUM (toll free). NewsCapade is educational, informative and fun for people of all ages. More than 100,000 people have toured NewsCapade since the tour began April 13 in San Francisco.
Joining NewsCapade in Vermillion is Allen H. Neuharth, founder of USA Today and The Freedom Forum. Neuharth will be presenting the Allen H. Neuharth Award for Excellence in Journalism to John Seigenthaler, an award-winning journalist and founder of the First Amendment Center at Vanderbilt University. Neuharth and Seigenthaler will participate in a press conference on Oct. 7 at 2:30 p.m. at NewsCapade. At 7:30 p.m., a special interview will take place with Seigenthaler during the award presentation in Theatre I of the Warren M. Lee Center for the Fine Arts. His son, John Michael Seigenthaler, anchor for weekend editions of NBC Nightly News and contributing anchor for MSNBC, will interview the elder Seigenthaler.
Visitors to NewsCapade begin their experience in a 45-seat theater that shows the award-winning film, What's News?, narrated by CBS News' Charles Osgood.

Visitors also can experience the excitement and challenge of being television reporters as they go in front of a camera to read the news.
Other exhibits include an "Interview a Journalist" interactive kiosk, unforgettable news photos, historic newspaper front pages, news artifacts, a timeline of 20th-century news and look at the power of the First Amendment. Each visitor may receive a free printout of "The Birthday Banner," the Newseum custom-designed computer program that delivers a front page with the news from an individual's month and year of birth.
"The Newseum in Arlington, VA, is helping visitors there get a better understanding of the relationship between the news media and the public. We hope NewsCapade can do the same all across the USA," Neuharth said.

I had a Karmann Ghia many. many years ago, and it was my most favorite car. In about 2002 I came across the Ghia pictured for sale. It wasn't running but the sheet metal and body were in excellent condition. I knew I could do the mechanical work (it's fun for me) and wouldn't have to worry much about body work (except painting), at which I'm not the best. It took two years to get it running and road worthy. There are still some details to finish, namely the interior. It has been lots of fun working on this project.

Rocky Mountain spotted fever was first recognized in 1896 in the Snake River Valley of Idaho, and was originally called "black measles" because of the characteristic rash. It was a dreaded and frequently fatal disease that affected hundreds of people in this area. The name Rocky Mountain spotted fever is somewhat of a misnomer. Beginning in the 1930s, it became clear that this disease occurred in many areas of the United States other than the Rocky Mountain region. It is now recognized that this disease is broadly distributed throughout the continental United States, as well as southern Canada, Central America, Mexico, and parts of South America. Between 1981 and 1996, this disease was reported from every U.S. state except Hawaii, Vermont, Maine, and Alaska. Despite the name, few cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever are reported from the Rocky Mountain region. Most cases occur in the southeastern United States. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is still a serious and potentially life-threatening infectious disease despite the availability of effective treatment and advances in medical care. Approximately 3% to 5% of individuals, who become ill with Rocky Mountain spotted fever, die from the infection. However, effective antibiotic therapy has dramatically reduced the number of deaths caused by this disease. Before the discovery of tetracycline and chloramphenicol in the late 1940s, as many as 30% of persons infected with Rocky Mountain spotted fever died.Rocky Mountain spotted fever is classified as a zoonosis. Zoonoses are diseases of animals that can be transmitted to humans. Many zoonotic diseases require a biological vector (e.g., a mosquito, tick, flea, or mite) in order to be transmitted from the animal host to the human host. In the case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, ticks are the natural hosts, serving as both reservoirs and vectors for the causative agent a bacterium called Rickettsia rickettsii. Ticks transmit the rickettsiae to vertebrates primarily by their bite. Less commonly, infections may occur following exposure to crushed tick tissues, fluids, or tick feces. Once inside the human body, rickettsiae live and multiply primarily within the cells that line small-to-medium sized blood vessels. This results in damage and death to these cells. This causes blood to leak through tiny holes in vessel walls into adjacent tissues. This process causes the rash that is traditionally associated with Rocky Mountain spotted fever and also causes damage to organs and tissues.Rickettsiae are transmitted to a vertebrate host through saliva while a tick is feeding. It usually takes several hours of attachment and feeding before the rickettsiae are transmitted to the host. The risk of exposure to a tick carrying R. rickettsii is low. In general, about 1%-3% of the tick population carries R. rickettsii, even in areas where the majority of human cases are reported. There are two major vectors of R. rickettsii in the United States, the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) and the Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni). Both ticks belong to the hard tick family Ixodidae. In Colorado, the Rocky Mountain wood tick is the tick that transmits Rocky Mountain spotted fever. People infected with R. rickettsii generally visit a physician in the first week of their illness, following an incubation period of about 5-10 days after a tick bite. The early clinical presentation of Rocky Mountain spotted fever is nonspecific and may resemble a variety of other infectious and non-infectious diseases. Initial symptoms may include fever, nausea, vomiting, severe headache, muscle pain, and lack of appetite. The rash first appears 2-5 days after the onset of fever and is often not present or may be very subtle when the patient is initially seen by a physician. Most often it begins as small, flat, pink, non-itchy spots on the wrists, forearms, and ankles. These spots turn pale when pressure is applied and eventually become raised on the skin. Later signs and symptoms include rash, abdominal pain, joint pain, and diarrhea. The characteristic red, spotted rash of Rocky Mountain spotted fever is usually not seen until the sixth day or later after onset of symptoms, and this type of rash occurs in only 35% to 60% of patients with Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and as many as 10% to 15% of patients may never develop a rash.Rocky Mountain spotted fever can be a very severe illness and people often require hospitalization. Because R. rickettsii infects the cells lining blood vessels throughout the body, severe manifestations of this disease may involve the respiratory system, central nervous system, gastrointestinal system, or renal system. This disease can have long-term health problems following acute infection and may include partial paralysis of the lower extremities; gangrene requiring amputation of fingers, toes, or arms or legs; hearing loss; loss of bowel or bladder control; movement disorders; and language disorders. These complications are most frequent in persons recovering from severe, life-threatening disease, often following lengthy hospitalizations.Currently, no licensed vaccine is available for prevention of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, so limiting exposure to ticks is the most effective way to reduce the likelihood of getting the disease. For people exposed to tick-infested habitats, prompt careful inspection and removal of crawling or attached ticks is an important method of preventing disease. It usually takes extended attachment time before the virus is passed from the tick to the human. Removing a tick before it has been attached for more that 4 hours greatly reduces the risk of infection. Use tweezers, and grab as closely to the skin as possible. Do not handle ticks with bare hands. Do not try to remove ticks by squeezing them, coating them with petroleum jelly, or burning them with a match. After removing the tick, thoroughly disinfect the bite site, and wash your hands. See or call a doctor if you think that tick parts may remain in your skin. If you get a fever, headache, rash or nausea within 2 weeks of a possible tick bite or exposure, see a doctor right away.When going into possible tick infected areas, wear a light colored long sleeved shirt and long pants tucked into socks. The light color will allow you to see ticks crawling on your clothing. Use insecticides to repel or kill ticks. Repellents containing the compound DEET can be used on exposed skin except for the face, but they do not kill ticks and are not 100% effective in discouraging ticks from biting. Products containing permethrin kill ticks, but they cannot be used on the skin, only on clothing. When using any insecticides or repellents read and follow the label directions carefully. Be especially cautious when using insecticides or repellents on children. After returning from a tick-infested area, conduct a body search using a mirror or the buddy system. Be sure to check children and pets for ticks in hidden areas such as hair.

MESA, Ariz. — A persistent father leaned into the Cubs dugout Tuesday at Hohokam Stadium to get Theo Epstein's attention.
For several minutes in excruciating detail, the man asked Epstein's advice in dealing with a son struggling to make his baseball team. Practicing what he preaches to fans, Epstein patiently listened to someone out there who still thought the Cubs president had all the answers.
"I'd like to help but I don't know the situation,'' Epstein said politely.
Refreshingly, Epstein knows what he doesn't know. As Epstein closes in on 40 next December and distances himself from his rock-star persona in baseball, self-awareness remains the self-deprecating executive's biggest strength. So Epstein didn't dare predict how a 2013 season he framed as a playoffs-or-sell-off proposition will unfold — but interestingly did share his pragmatic plan in case it unravels.
"What I want to avoid is the middle ground,'' Epstein said. "It'd be nice to make the playoffs or get a protected draft pick (awarded the bottom nine teams). We're not hiding that. There's no glory in 78 wins instead of 73. Who cares?
"We're going to see where we are and take a real cold assessment in the middle of the season. If we have a legitimate chance to push for a playoff spot then 2013 can become our primary focus. If we think a playoff spot's not in the cards, there will be no concern for appearances or cosmetics whatsoever. We'll continue to address our future and trade off some pieces that would keep us respectable.''
Consider yourself warned, Wrigleyville. If you thought last September was bad, this could look worse. This could result in a month ugly enough to make rooftop owners want to block their own views.
"Those are the type of things we have to be tough enough to withstand,'' Epstein said. "I hope we surprise some people. There is definitely more talent here than people give us credit for.''
If you believed in baseball Theocracy when the Cubs hired Epstein in October 2011, nothing has shaken that belief. Not 101 losses. Not dumping Ryan Dempster or delays in Wrigley Field renovation. Not anything.
Epstein still has the right answers because he asks the essential question nobody in charge ever dared: Why not try building a winner from the bottom up by revamping the minor league system? If anything has changed about Epstein since he arrived in Chicago billed as the savior, it might be the 39-year-old has become less guarded and even more introspective as he embraces the city's "Midwestern sensibility.''
That term came up during an easygoing conversation when Epstein explained why Cubs fans readily accept sacrificing seasons in the name of winning in 2015. Why can Epstein get away with placing minor league development ahead of major league success in a major market?
"We're being transparent and they're responding by giving back faith, belief and energy,'' Epstein said.
Credit fans who enjoy watching young players grow up and the Cubs' failure to win the other way by investing in overpriced free-agents, Epstein reasoned. It says everything about the state of the Cubs that the highlight of Epstein's tenure came last fall in Arizona when he attended an instructional league workout and finally detected "The Cubs Way.''
"It was really invigorating,'' Epstein said. "I know this sounds silly coming off the year we had but we are really clicking on all cylinders in scouting and player development.''
Baseball America agrees, ranking four Cubs prospects among the game's top 100. One baseball executive projected the Cubs could have six by next spring. Everybody in Cubdom has heard of phenoms Jorge Soler, Albert Almora and Javier Baez. Most days, Epstein stares at his computer watching video of minor leaguers in search of the next Starlin Castro or Anthony Rizzo.
Speaking of Rizzo, Epstein invoked his name during one of those intermittent bouts of introspection. Apparently trading for Rizzo, a former Red Sox draft pick, represented one of two things every new executive does after taking over a team.
"Typically, they make a pretty good trade with a player they're familiar with (Rizzo) and, two, they'll screw up a trade because they won't have the first-hand knowledge you need with some players in their own organization,'' Epstein said. "We definitely did that.''
The rare mistake Epstein admitted came in December 2011 when the Cubs traded outfielder Tyler Colvin and infielder D.J. LeMahieu to the Rockies. Another happened when the Cubs left Ryan Flaherty unprotected in the Rule 5 draft and the Orioles signed the second baseman, who started in the playoffs.
"We fell into some familiar traps,'' Epstein said.
They will fall some more, Epstein acknowledged. But the encouraging difference in Epstein's regime is he focuses less about the Cubs getting up than staying on top once they do.

The tech job market keeps heating up, but not for everybodyOctober 25, 2012: 9:03 AM ET
While demand for some IT skills is soaring, finding a tech job isn't always easy. A Silicon Valley recruiter explains what employers want now.
FORTUNE -- At first glance, you might think that anyone with up-to-date IT skills and a few years of work experience has it made in the shade. Unemployment among this group has dropped from 4.2% in the third quarter of last year to 3.3% now, according to the latest figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics cited in a new report by tech job site Dice.com, and the jobless rate in some specialized fields is even lower -- a scant 2.3% for software developers, for instance.
Tech consulting alone has seen 10 straight quarters of job growth, with more than 56,000 new positions created so far in 2012, about 17,000 of them in September. At the same time, pay is rising. Base salaries are expected to climb by an average of 5.3% in the year ahead, according to the latest salary guide from researchers at staffing firm Robert Half International. Mobile app developers will get the biggest raises, at around 9%. Network engineers (especially wireless), data modelers, and portal administrators will see higher-than-average pay hikes, too.
So skilled IT professionals should have no trouble finding jobs, or changing jobs, right? Well, not exactly. For one thing, computer and electronics manufacturers have continued to cut headcount, as they have for the past few years, with about 10,000 layoffs announced so far in 2012. All that extra talent adds to the competition for available openings.
MORE: The 25 best medium-size companies to work for
Another fly in the ointment is that so many companies are moving to the cloud that they no longer need as many people in-house. "The landscape is really changing. A few years ago, every company needed its own webmaster, systems administrator, and IT manager, for example," says Michael Morell. "Now, many of those functions are moving to cloud hosts like Amazon and Rackspace. If you're an infrastructure person, there are just fewer opportunities."
Morell is managing partner at Riviera Partners, a San Francisco-based IT recruiting firm whose client list includes Twitter, LinkedIn (LNKD), Groupon (GRPN), Dropbox, Pinterest, and Zappos. He notes that, when it comes to finding a tech job, geography is destiny.
"The national figures are a little misleading, because it all depends on where you are," Morell says. "In places like Silicon Valley and New York City, unemployment is actually a negative number. There just aren't nearly enough candidates to fill all the openings. In many places that aren't tech hubs, though -- including much of the center of the country -- the supply of talent outstrips demand."
No wonder, then, that so many highly skilled and experienced techies complain they can't get hired. If you're one of them, what can you do (besides move) to boost your chances? Morell says that, in addition to topnotch technical skills, employers are looking for these three things:
1. Intellectual curiosity. "Be interested in solving problems, and ask interesting questions," Morell advises. Often, he says, techies don't demonstrate a genuine interest by taking the time to research prospective employers before interviews. "You especially have to show you understand the company's vision and purpose, and that you're aligned with those," he says. "If you're not, nothing else matters."
Interviewers also prefer candidates who are "very deliberate about what they're looking for and why," Morell adds. "So think about exactly why you want to work for this company, rather than just any company, and why you'd be a good fit."
2. A coherent story. Many tech whizzes, understandably proud of their many certifications and other credentials, list all of them on resumes and in their LinkedIn profiles. "LinkedIn is a great way to tell your story to employers, but most people include way too much information in it, without really telling what's important," he says. "You don't need to list every certificate. Instead, highlight just the achievements you're especially proud of."
MORE: The best of our best advice
He also recommends mentioning "something about you as a person -- your interests outside of work, causes you've contributed to, or whatever matters to you. You never know what will intrigue an employer or a recruiter enough to want to know more about you."
3. A deliberate career path. "People make career moves for all sorts of reasons, like going to another company because a friend works there," notes Morell. That's okay, but "employers are impressed by candidates whose career arc so far is not just a series of random moves. So before you sit down with a headhunter or a hiring manager, be ready with an explanation for the thinking behind your decisions -- even for why you took a job that, in the end, didn't work out."

A Day in the British IslesTuesday, July 26th, 2011
Smithsonian Study Leader Cassandra Hannahs is a medieval historian specializing in British cultural and architectural history. Here, she describes an action-packed day including sea birds, the Broch of Mousa, and former Irish President Mary Robinson with Smithsonian travelers on our Exploring the British and Irish Isles adventure cruise.
As we had been sailing around northern Scotland over the past few days, from the Hebrides to Loch Ewe, Fair Isle, Orkney and Shetland, I was thinking about Vikings, especially since we would be ending our journey in Norway, essentially retracing the water routes of Norsemen a thousand years ago. But this day in Shetland took us back long before the Vikings as well as long after, with a healthy dose of hiking and bird watching thrown in.
During breakfast the captain brought the ship along the southeastern coast of the Mainland of Shetland to the much smaller island of Mousa where we anchored and disembarked in zodiacs. A group of us started out hiking across the island with the ship's naturalist and ornithologist Richard White, who pointed out the many types of sea birds — including northern gannets, storm-petrels, red-throated loons, and many more — found along the cliffs. My personal hope of seeing a puffin was not yet realized, but we did get a close view of an otter who suddenly bolted from a boulder beside our path and disappeared between the rocks.
Returning to the landing site, we then explored the Broch of Mousa, which is a massive round tower over forty feet high with inner and outer stone walls flanking an internal staircase up to the top. Built around two thousand years ago, the broch had raised floors which probably served as the main living areas, and various niches for sleeping or storage areas. As the tallest prehistoric structure in Europe and one of the best preserved, the Broch of Mousa is a stunning testament to the engineering skill of its Iron Age builders.
We returned to the ship in time to hear the former president of Ireland, Mary Robinson, give a talk on board. President Robinson was traveling with us after having just attended Queen Elizabeth II's first State Visit to Ireland the previous week, and she spoke about the significance of the Queen's visit as a moment healing between England and Ireland. As she spoke, we traveled to Lerwick which is the main port and capital of the Shetland Islands.
Stretching our legs after lunch, we set out for the southern end of the main island where we hiked up to the Sumburgh Head and viewed the impressive vista from the cliffs around the lighthouse. To our delight, there was a crowd of puffins nesting just a few feet from the walls where we were standing. It was wonderful to watch them in flight, beating their wings so fast they became a blur. I have read that puffins resemble black and white footballs when they fly, but to me they looked more like a cross between penguins and bumblebees.
Having finally had our fill of puffins, we set off across the grassy fields to the archaeological site of Jarlshof. The occupation of this extraordinary site spans the bronze, iron, medieval and early modern ages, with the earliest houses dating from between 2500 and 1500 B.C. and the latest building, Earl Patrick's "Old House," dating from the seventeenth century A.D. Between these periods, the Norse lived here as well, with a settlement at Jarlshof that lasted from the ninth to the thirteenth centuries. A vital hub in the sea routes between Scandinavia, Ireland, Britain, Iceland and Greenland, Jarlshof brought me back to my earlier thoughts of Vikings, and reinforced once more how so many places on this journey around the British and Irish Isles which seem remote and isolated to us today were at the center of earlier cultural geographies based on seafaring.

Mentor Texts: WritingFix's Lesson Bibliography
Building a 6-trait "mentor text" library? All books cited on this page link to free-to-use lessons!
A Bibliography for Teachers & Librarians: There are a lot of published books that share lists of mentor texts for teaching writing; the book at right is one example. This page at WritingFix--we believe--is much more thorough than just about every book in print we've found. We've spent almost ten years creating the list of books below.
During our Northern Nevada teacher workshops, we ask teachers to bring favorite mentor texts and share how they use them during their writing instruction. Some of the ideas proposed by teacher participants become online lessons here at WritingFix. This page contains a list of the mentor texts for which we currently have on-line lessons and prompts that you can access. You can also access the lessons and prompts by clicking on the lesson link in the parentheses.
Use the Amazon links below and WritingFix benefits! As most of you know, WritingFix is a completely free site to use, and we plan to keep it that way. It does, however, cost the NNWP about four thousand dollars annually to keep this website up and running, and you can help us defray those costs the next time you shop at Amazon. All of the books cited on this page link to the Amazon site, where you can purchase the book new or from sellers, should you really happen to like one of the lessons we feature. Here's the deal...if you use the links on this page to enter Amazon and then begin purchasing anything, WritingFix will receive a very small percentage of the sale; those proceeds are invested back in the site and keep it free to use. Any time you use Amazon in the future, we humbly request that you start your shopping experience with one of the links on this page. You don't even need to buy the specific book this page links to; as long as you enter Amazon using any link at WritingFix, then our website will benefit.
In Northern Nevada, the NNWP sponsors annual collaborative projects among teachers. The goal of these collaborative projects is to create a print resource that can be used in future workshops and inservice classes.
The two most popular guides that have been created through these collaborations are available for purchase from the NNWP's Publications Page. If you'd like to see which mentor texts are cited in either of these guides, click the link below the pictures of the guides' covers:

More likely the putty squished out and the flange was loose because of that.
I try to use very little for that reason.
Let me guess, you should probably put thread lock on those 3 bolts that tighten the mounting clamp on a disposal. ? I'm not a plumber and installed the disposal about 2 months ago -- thought it sounded noisy and looked down there to see that a couple of these bolts had backed out.
Of course no where in the instructions did it mention putting a thread lock compound on them.
More likely the putty squished out and the flange was loose because of that.
I try to use very little for that reason.
Terry, thanks -- I should probably remount it then. I have a feeling I used way too much putty. I think because I don't use it all the time, I think the more the merrier because I honestly can't believe it works compared to something like silicone etc. (which I know you shouldn't use).
It's not leaking though -- if you think I just tightened it up and did the thread lock I'd be ok? thnaks
If you snugged it up it should be fine. That will squeeze the extra putty out.
We can't tell why it came loose, but I have never used "LockTite" on the bolts, nor have I ever seen it done. Install the disposer correctly and it will not come loose.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
I know Terry hit it on the head -- too much putty -- hence, probably making it slide around too much. It was done right, but just that -- too much goo.
Not to nit pick, but perhaps not done right if too much putty (or maybe more to the point, didn't snug up the 3 bolts adequately at the time of install since that would have forced out the excess putty anyway).
Not a pro, but have have never used thread lock and have never seen the bolts come loose despite all the vibration a disposer creates.
When there is too much putty, it can show up later, just the way it was mentioned above. We've all done it at least once.
Good to know, Terry. I didn't realize that was possible. I have always erred on the side of using a pretty thick rope of putty, figuring out the excess would get squeezed out (and recycled back into the container).
Still seems to me that if the flange is angled at all, it wouldn't be possible for excess putty to hang out under the flange?

Interview with "Terrorists in Love" author Ken Ballen
Please welcome Ken Ballen, author of Terrorists in Love: The Real Lives of Islamic Radicals, to On the Bookcase! Use this interview in our book club meeting to help your discussion by delving deeper into his research for his new book.
- As an American Jew, did you ever fear for your safety during your time in the Middle East, South Asia, and Indonesia? Did you feel explicitly targeted or in danger due to your nationality and/or your religion?
The danger is real. One of the journalists who helped me in Pakistan was subsequently targeted and killed. As a former federal prosecutor, I took as many safety precautions as possible.
- What was it like to interview convicted killers and terrorists? How did you ultimately select the six men to profile?
I have spent nearly two decades of my career interrogating criminals and terrorists, from organized crime and Mafia hit men, to drug dealers, child molesters, con artists, corrupt politicians, murderers, and terrorists themselves. The six individuals profiled had the most compelling stories, defying conventional wisdom. Their life stories are also broadly representative of the more than one hundred other terrorists and radicals I interviewed over a five year period.
- Did your interviews change the scope of what you're trying to accomplish with Terror Free Tomorrow, the non-profit research organization you chair?
As a federal prosecutor, Congressional investigator and President of Terror Free Tomorrow, I have often been cited as an "expert" on terrorism. Conducting these interviews, particularly of the six people featured in the book, changed everything I thought I knew.
- Was there a particular story or interviewee that you found most compelling? One that you were especially moved by?
All in different ways moved me—that's why I write about them. I would say that my dinner dream with Shaheed, which led him to renounce terrorism, had to be the most moving encounter. To see someone renounce terrorism from a meeting with you is a profound experience.
- After talking with these former and current radicals, do you give greater meaning to your dreams? Did your interactions with Shaheed make you reconsider their importance?
I'm not sure I give greater importance to my own dreams. Even though my experience with Shaheed was dramatic, it could have ended up quite differently for me, even possibly putting me in danger. Certainly, I would now think twice before sharing my dreams with radical Muslims!
- Do you see hope or viability in Kamal's more humanistic interpretation of the Quran? Do you think this religious message has the potential to spread and overtake the extremist view?
Whether or not I see hope, more importantly, Kamal does. As I write in the book, change must come from within.
- What are your feelings about Pakistan and their relation to the U.S. in the war on terror?
I was able to corroborate the essential elements of Zeddy's account. It should deeply terrify anyone who cares about not only the United States but also the future of humanity.
- Do you plan to keep in touch with your acquaintances in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan? Have you heard from any recently?
Yes, I keep in touch with about half of those profiled in the book.
- In your Afterword, you outline a position on American policy in the Middle East. How can someone who's read your book help spread the message about Middle Eastern democracy "under a Muslim vision"? Can you suggest any ways to get involved?
There are many ways to become involved. I believe that inter-religious dialogue is essential. Of course, any reader is also free to support the work of Terror Free Tomorrow.
Kenneth Ballen is President and founder of Terror Free Tomorrow, a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization, which investigates the causes of extremism. Ballen has spent two decades on the frontlines of law enforcement, international relations, intelligence oversight and congressional investigations.

He also prosecuted major figures in organized crime, international narcotics, and one of the first cases in the United States involving illegal financing for Middle Eastern terrorists. Ballen has regularly contributed to CNN, and its companion website CNN.com.
