©2003 Mary Monroe; (P)2004 Recorded Books,LLC
"Mary Monroe is a remarkable talent." (Chicago Sun-Times)
good read but for this to be the second book in a series there was no reason to take almost 10 chapters going over what was in the first book. made it dry until it actually started. hope book three does not do the same
How this author had the nerve to spend the first SEVENTEEN chapters, rehashing the entire story from the first book, is a wonder. Any reader would know that the second book is supposed to be a contuation of the first;so why bother with the refresher? The main character, supposedly has become older, wiser and more self-confident. This was not the case. She's still giving the impression that she loves/forgives the old fool that abused her for most of her childhood. And, she continues to fall for weak-minded men, although she professes to have changed for the better. I like the fact that she finally became comfortable with her body. The moral of this story is that telling the truth would have saved everyone a lot of heartache. I also was disappointed with the reader, who is nowhere as good as the first narrator. At one point, she even called, RHODA, RHONDA.
"it was ok"
I couldnt put this book down, but when it ended, it left an unfulfilled taste in my mouth.
Love books on tape! It's all about the narrators for me though. No matter how good the story, if the narrator doesn't cut it...
Worth the chip. Enjoying the story. Fun easy listening to while at work.

Such a wide selection of colors so kids can vary what they want to make. This made a whole room of kids happy creating all sorts of pictures because there were plenty of colors to pick from and plenty of the color they needed so they could make the design they wanted. We are extremely satisfied with the value and product. This goes a long way and keeps the after school kids very happy.
We used these to make super cute bowls. Non toxic, easy, fun and everyone raves about the results.
Fantastic color choices. We would definitely pay a little more if they can separate the individual color beads in the bucket.
Has so many more shades of colors than I expected.
I bought these for my kids and ended up playing with them myself. These are so much fun.
I'm more excited than I should be about these perler beads, but it's such a good deal! The best I've seen yet. The only downside is that you have to organize them your self, but I think that's even kind of fun. I feel more attatched to them, like they're my babies because I sorted them :3
Grandsons and daughter were thrilled with the amount of beads - both boys enjoy creating images of their favorite cartoon or Star Wars characters and their mom views it as a quiet activity pre-bedtime .
This product is definitely worth buying. It's the best value I have seen so far. 22,000 perler beads and it also has a good amount of variety in colors. There were a few colors that I need that it doesn't include, and sorting them is a pain, but other than that this is great. I will definitely be purchasing this again
I went on line to buy some off e-bay and it was insane prices get these from Walmart was the best deal for low prices and large amount they should keep the children busy for awhile thank you
The kids love these and very easy to make
Great price for the amount of beads you get. Lots of bright colors. Wounder choses of colors to complete so many patterns.
My kids play with these beads forever. The container is great and it has many great colors inside.
I searched on Ebay in stores and every where else I could think of but 22,000 beads for $21.41 with free shipping to the store is the best deal any where. Even people with old half used beads will not sell them for less than $1 per 1000. If your kid wants to make lots of projects this is a deal.
Our 11 year old granddaughter loves to design fridge magnets with these beads. She does the designs and I do the ironing. :-) This huge container should last her a lifetime!
These were great! It aloud me to do man projects, comes with plenty of colors and the value was great! Will buy again.
I have bought the product to create pixelated game art . Currently working on sorting all the colors. They look great once you get them ironed.
So many beads and colors! Would highly recommend.
Great deal. You can make many projects with 22,000 beads.
there are sooo many colors more then i expected it was definetly a great buy
very nice and thank you

Fresh still wins the popularity contest among typical seafood purveyors. However, more quality-conscious retailers around the country are accepting, even promoting, frozen seafood as the number of high-quality products increases and consumers become better-informed about them, SN has learned. "Customers like fresh seafood better when they can get it," said Tom Nacrone, manager for meat and seafood at Tidyman's in Spokane, Wash. "But we can't always get it fresh and we get very good frozen ...

Mother Jeans
Naomi Watts in MOTHER Muse Ankle in China Blossom
Naomi Watts was snapped while chatting on her phone and picking up a few groceries. Naomi wore a pair of MOTHER Muse Ankle in China Blossom with a paisley printed blouse and oxford shoes.
We haven't seen Naomi in a pair of MOTHER before, so I am glad to see her mix it up a bit. I am sure we'll see her wearing these frequently because once we see a celeb in the brand, they tend to be converts! You can buy MOTHER online from Shopbop.com.
January Jones in Mother The Pixie Jeans in Fashionably Late
January Jones was snapped while out with her son at a local playground. She wore a brand we've never seen her in before, Mother! She chose a pair of Mother The Pixie Jeans in Fashionably Late with a white cardigan and flats.
January seems to be trying out a lot of new denim brands as of late, but I've noticed that she tends to stick to the same silhouettes. She usually chooses styles with a higher rise and a slim ankle fit or a wide/flare leg. She definitely knows what works for her when it comes to fit, but I'd love to see her try a boyfriend style or something with a bit more slouch. You can buy Mother jeans online from Shopbop.com.
Can you guess whose butt this is in Mother Skinny Jeans?
Can you guess whose butt this belongs to in a pair of Mother skinny jeans?
Hilary Duff in Mother The Looker Skinny Jeans
Hilary Duff and her husband were seen carrying their sleeping son Luca into a hotel in Beverly Hills. Hilary wore a pair of Mother the Looker Skinny jeans with a striped top and a pair of studded Isabel Marant boots.
I'm surprised we haven't seen Hilary out in Mother more often, since I think the Looker style is really flattering on her. We haven't seen her out in any flared styles lately either, I'd love to see her try the brand's Runaway Skinny Flares. You can buy Mother Jeans online from Shopbop.com.

For the projected 1,638,910 patients with a diagnosis of cancer this year, the great majority of them (75–90 %) will experience cancer-related pain. A growing number of these patients will turn to complementary and alternative therapies to assist with the management of their pain and other cancer-related symptoms. The World Health Organization's suggested approach to pain management begins with the use of time honored opioids, but recommends the use of adjuvant therapies early in the management process. Complementary and alternative therapies are being used by more patients each year to assist with the management of their pain. Practitioners and researchers must be aware of the evidence that exists to support or refute the use of these therapies. In this manuscript we review evidence from the recent past on complementary and alternative therapies for pain with emphasis on more common modalities including acupuncture, bio-energy, massage, and music.

quote: Well we can all see the writing on the wall here, if this works well you can bet they will test it using just the tablets for ordering and eliminate people off the restaurant payroll.Isn't the future grand? I for one like having a good waiter or waitress, sometimes that person more than makes up for mediocre food...
quote: If any, I pose this question: is there anything bad that came come out of this? Please factor out the possible economical and employment implications if you can.
quote: But the entire American Dream is built around hard work paying off.
quote: Business owners sure get it easy in the US compared to elsewhere, not many industries where the owner can get the customer to pay the staffs wages without the customer seeming to raise an eyebrow.
quote: Giving waiters a salary or fixed hourly rate would absolutely ruin service.
quote: I don't see anything wrong with receiving pay based on performance. And for every IHOP waiter that would love a steady salary there's a good waiter out there at a nice restaurant that would lose a large amount of money if tips were eliminated. Do your job well and you can make a lot of money as a waiter. When one has 3-4 tables and each table is an average of $150 per meal and you provide excellent service you're looking at, conservatively, $45-$60/hour. And that's if the people are cheap.
quote: In any industry where the service is as important, or more so, than the product, there has to be an incentive for the service worker to give good service.
quote: The law needs to change and society too, to give waitstaff real-world wages and eliminate tipping.
quote: ability to order correctly/correct mistakes, etc.

I have same problem. I was looking to a few websites where they have installed mingle forum - does not work.
Has anybody solution how to make it work?
Here you go--
Try this plugin and forget about poor forum search. This is advanced search that will search inside forum and all so you dont have to worry about mingle forum search.
Expert Village Media Technologies India
I tried this plugin to install (search everything) but nothing change after activate this plugin. No solution for me :-(
Why is this post labeled [resolved]? As far as I know, the problem still exists. Search doesn't work at my site either with all the latests updates. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?
No idea why it's marked as resolved.
This will be improved early on in the 1.1.x series which is coming soon. See my site http://cartpauj.com/forum/ for the new beta.
For those needing help now, make sure you have at least 20-30 posts in your forum before you try a search. The search doesn't work well, if at all, when there are only a handful of posts.
For those who are more technically inclined, or for those who want to pester their hosting company for a quick helping hand, you'll need to make sure that the wp_forum_posts table is running on the MyISAM engine, NOT InnoDB. If it's InnoDB the search will not work period. Also, after switching engines, you may need to set a FULLTEXT index on the text column in this table.

Has anyone built for themselves a very stripped down, fast version of the Admin pages?
Perhaps something very minimal, just post or post/page/images?
(... and none of those S-U-P-E-R B-I-G F-O-N-T S-I-Z-E-S and big irregular input windows)
It seems any of the custom Admin themes are just slower and fatter (albeit it pretty).
Yes, I have a hack around at the pages and css from time to time but I also just interested to see if anyone else shared this same thought.
When one spends half ones life waiting for admin pages to reload and having to scroll down for what really should not be scroll down necessary, one does start to pine for simple days. I appreciate the clean and pretty backend is a strong seller for neophytes but is there any option for those of us who just want to get on with it?

New Times (magazine)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
New Times was an American glossy bi-weekly national magazine published from 1973[1] to 1979 by George A. Hirsch. Hirsch had been publisher of New York magazine, but resigned after conflicts with founder/editor Clay Felker. New Times began as a bridge between the newsweeklies and the more reflective monthly opinion magazines, notably Harper's and The Atlantic. Initially, the magazine featured a marquee roster of the era's best-known "new journalists," including Jimmy Breslin, Pete Hamill, Jack Newfield, Mike Royko, and Dick Schaap.
However, as the magazine's ad revenues lagged, contributions from the big names soon dried up, and under the skilled editorship of Jonathan Z. Larsen, New Times shifted to an investigative approach, offering pieces on the CIA, congressional committees, political spying, activism, the murder of Mary Pinchot Meyer and the JFK assassination "cover up." Contributors were up-and-coming freelance writers, many just out of college, including currently celebrated authors and media figures such as Geoffrey Wolff, Frank Rich, Nina Totenberg, Harry Stein, Roger Rapaport, Samuel Merrill, David Black, Robert Ward and Ron Rosenbaum. Robert Sam Anson was Political Editor. The late NBC television executive Brandon Tartikoff was an occasional contributor.
Typical of the magazine's later direction, one issue featured a cover depicting Bozo the Clown behind the Presidential podium, a broad comment on the mistakes and misadventures of then-President Gerald Ford. Another issue saluted the 10 Dumbest Congressmen, judging Iowa's newly elected Republican Senator Charles Grassley as the so-called King of Dumb.
While New Times never found a sufficient base of advertisers, it was not for Hirsch's lack of publishing know-how. He launched The Runner magazine, one of the first of a new era of specialty "active lifestyle" monthlies in 1979, initially as a supplement to New Times. The last issue of New Times, published just before the 1980 election, which would see a dramatic swing to the conservative movement in U.S. politics, was a themed edition devoted to the subject of Greed in America.

Tim Sullivan
Tim Sullivan is no longer an employee/writer at The San Diego Union-Tribune
Tim Sullivan came to San Diego from The Cincinnati Enquirer, where for 25 years he chronicled a wide range of subjects – eight Olympic Games; the gambling probe that led to Cincinnati's fallen hero, Pete Rose, being banned from baseball; complex financing debates over new stadiums for baseball's Reds and football's Bengals; and sensitive human interest stories.
A native of the Washington, D.C., area and a 1976 graduate of the University of Missouri, Sullivan worked briefly for the Tulsa Tribune before joining The Enquirer in January 1977.
He served as beat writer covering the University of Cincinnati, the Bengals and the Reds before being named a columnist in September 1984.
He has been honored twice in recent years by The Associated Press Sports Editors in the top national sports journalism contest. In his newspaper's circulation category, Sullivan placed in the Top 10 in Column Writing in 1999 and won first place for Best News Story in 2000 for his coverage of the Ken Griffey Jr. trade.

Statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General on the Russia-United States understandings to resolve the Syrian conflict
New York, 8 May 2013
The Secretary-General warmly welcomes the announcement on Syria by Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and United States Secretary of State Kerry in Moscow yesterday.
The Secretary-General and Joint Special Representative Brahimi have asserted from the outset their conviction that a negotiated political solution is the only way to end this prolonged and ever-deepening crisis.
The goal should be clear to all – it must be an end to violence, a clean break from the past and a transition to a new Syria in which the rights of all communities are protected and the legitimate aspirations of all the people in Syria for freedom, dignity and justice are met.

Team composition and weapon
"In Quel'Thalas," came a smooth, cultured voice, "there are trees that tower over these in a glory of white bark and golden leaves, that all but sing in the evening breezes. I think you would enjoy seeing them someday."
As long as each person has enough skills, any combination of the guardian can be successful, some combinations can be said to be better than others. This is particularly true when faced with a challenge, like the king of the fall of the fate of the raid: take the king. There are nine sub classes (every three levels), so the choice of a problem can sometimes be a problem, but we've narrowed down your portfolio.
A strong team building includes:
At least one full back, Titan (who never used it). In the three boss fight, the dawn of the ward is very useful. They can reduce the extra damage to the enemy (increase), and light up the blessing to help the team continue to live. Light weapons are also useful after the king's fall.
The two night hunter is a good news for any good group of fire. The hunter's new sub category is the perfect crowd control. Shadow shooting is the key to keeping the tribe managing and generating the precious ball of light. Smoke bombs are perfect for getting a bit of tension, and agility is usually given to hunters, which will prove to be useful in a more moving part of the raid.
When it comes to the wizards, if you have faith in the ability to live, I will go to the storm of the call of the storm. The sunsinger is still very useful for those opportunities, but not with the other two types of damage output. This also makes the welfare of the surrounding teammates, strengthen their own charging rate, so that it becomes a serious controller on the battlefield.
A sun shade is also useful for the team, because they have to burn the enemy's shield and kill themselves and their allies more easily to work.
Once you have your team, you will want to pick up some weapons. Of course, you should always take your comfort, because it will help you when things are busy (they will). I suggest that with a higher firing rate and speed. In a very short time, you need to do a lot of damage, so anything is too slow to be proved to be a kind of damage. The sword is powerful, but it is useless to their own antelope, so make sure you plan to bring the Conan method to other parts of the RAID to bring back up heavy weapons.Read More

WoD: How to Make Gold with the Garrison Gem Boutique
Although you don't need Jewelcrafting on a character to build a Gem Boutique in your Garrison, having this profession will allow you to make a few hundred gold daily, without too much of an effort. So, how to make gold with a Gem Boutique.
Gem Boutique – Alliance
First of all, to build a Gem Boutique, you will need the Gem Boutique, Level 1. This blueprint unlocks automatically when you level your Town Hall to level 2. However, you can still get the blueprints for the Level 1 Gem Boutique, if your Garrison is still level 1, by completing a quest. This quest is given by an object that should drop from various mobs in Draenor. It's a Drained Crystal Fragment (Alliance) or an Intricate Crimson Pendant (Horde).
Now, to begin making gold with your Gem Boutique, you need to raise it to a level 2 Gem Boutique. Once you do that, you have to assign a follower with the Jewelcrafting trait to work in this building. Follower: Olin Umberhide (Horde) or Follower: Artificer Romuul (Alliance), are the two followers that have Jewelcrafting as base trait. You'll get Olin by completing "Winds of Change", and Romuul by completing the quest "Follower: Artificer Romuul".
Jewelcrafting Payment – Daily Quest Reward
Once you have a follower assigned to your Gem Boutique, he will give you a daily quest, which requires you to craft an item or obtain certain materials, then turn them in for a Jewelcrafting Payment bag. This bag, contains 250-300g. Therefore, you will make about 250g per day, just by completing this quest, which shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.
Of course, you will get various other materials from your Gem Boutique, which you can sell to the Auction House, such as Sorcerous Air, or Sorcerous Earth, or use them to craft and sell JC items.

Agent 47's looking older in Games Hitman shots
The experience of visiting Games appears to have put a few years on Agent 47's face, if these new images of Hitman are any indication. Either that or his penchant for disguises now extends to making himself look older.
Earlier Hitman videos had Agent 47 looking kind of smooth and almost cherubic, but now he looks like the rather more mature gentleman above.
As a reminder, here's what he looked like during the E3 2015 trailers. A bit like Crystal Maze era Richard O'Brien.
hitman e3 2015
"It's a skill game, and an automatic lock-in" – Agent O'Brien.
Maybe he appears as a different age depending upon which level you're tackling. I don't know.
Here are the rest of the Games Hitman images. They're not exactly scintillating (unless you like seeing the back of Agent 47's barcoded head, or him peaking around a wall,) but the shot of a guard being tossed off a building is quite nicely framed.

Posted by Philomena | Comments Off on Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord update offers a lot of new details
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord update offers a lot of new details
For those looking out for Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord details from Games, there were a couple of videos and screenshots to absorb. These weren't able to tell the whole story on their own though, so Taleworlds have written a more extensive blog post about some of the things demonstrated in the trailers.
The article is accompanied by a kind of highlights reel that corresponds to the things mentioned in the write-up, so you can watch along at home.
It opens with a slightly extended look at Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord's siege engines, which will have much greater variety in this sequel. In-keeping with this broader scope, all types of siege engines will be fully usable by both players and AI. All siege equipment is placed manually by the player before an attempted siege (assuming you've actually built some).
The siege stuff is followed by a look at the improved Calradia world map. Taleworlds say castles will now properly integrate with neighbouring villages. Settlements can produce goods and build structures on four sides – one of which can be a castle. Villages with castles naturally offer more defenses, but miss out on a different economic building that could've been in the slot instead.
AI Lords in Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord start these building projects too, so you'll see the map change and develop across the years.
Village work allocation can be set by adjusting sliders for "how fast projects are completed, as well as the tax and militia levy from villages". This will have a knock-on effect on peasant morale.
The map screen leads into a short combat clip. AI in Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord is said to be improved, knowing when to keep a distance and when to move closer for melee. The looters present in the clip won't pose much threat as individuals, but might be able to overwhelm a well-equipped player by staying spread out and trying to flank.
The inventory UI has been remodelled for Bannerlord, making it a whole lot easier to equip your character – and to switch between equipping yourself and your companions. There will be hotkeys for selling multiple items and similar time-saving options.
There's a quick look at one of the in-game board games you'll be able to play against NPCs (six games are planned in total, one for each of the game's different cultures).
Then it's on to a demonstration of the in-game seasons, and how that affects the terrain in Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord. Waging war in winter will have predictable effects on troop morale and food demands. The seasons are followed by a brief spotlight on the new weapon crafting system. This appears somewhat similar to the system found in Way of the Samurai, with each weapon able to be broken down to its separate components and reassembled to create new instruments of war.
Bannerlord takes things a step closer to realism though, by ensuring "all of these parts have physical properties, to which the power of the weapon is directly related". A weapon's balance and center of mass will alter all sorts of things like the speed it can be swung and the damage it can cause. It'll be possible to name weapons, and even lose to (then reclaim from) bandits.
The video rounds off with a look at the multiplayer replay system, in which a match can be tweaked and edited into machinima.
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord doesn't have a specific release date yet, but is likely to appear in 2016.

Donald Kaul: Bulwark of Ignorance
Republicans are calling for a "compromise" as they gear up for another knock-down-drag-out fight.
Published on Feb 13, 2013 - 7:33:12 AM
By: Donald Kaul, OtherWords.org
Feb. 13, 2013 - The other day, House Speaker John Boehner accused Barack Obama of being mean to the Republican Party. Our president, he said, was trying to "annihilate" the party and "shove us into the dustbin of history."
Would that it were so. If ever a political party needed annihilation, it's the current Republican model.
Having lost the November presidential election handily — by some five million votes — the GOP suffered a moment of self-doubt. At a meeting of Republicans later that month, Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal, one of the rising stars of the party, called for Republicans to "stop being the stupid party."
He suggested that they broaden their appeal to include the rising minority groups in the nation.
The Republicans, especially those holding seats in the House of Representatives, thought about that for about 15 minutes, then said: "Nah." And no wonder. In recent decades the Republican Party has served as a bulwark of ignorance whose mission is to hold back the nation's progress. It's the party of climate change deniers, creationists, anti-conservationists, tin-foil-hat collectors, and those people who dress in camouflage outfits hoping that someone will take them for war heroes. Get rid of that crowd and there wouldn't be enough Republicans left to serve as pall bearers at the party's own funeral.
Which is not to say Republicans don't have a plan. They do. The technical name for their new electoral strategy is "cheating."
In swing state after swing state, Republican legislatures, having redistricted all semblance of democracy out of their congressional and state assembly districts, are contemplating doubling down on the Electoral College. They claim that it yields unfair representation in presidential elections. The Republican answer is to make it even more unfair.
Republicans in Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Virginia are working on plans that would allocate electoral votes by the number of congressional districts carried, rather than by statewide popular vote.
Here's how it would work: My state of Michigan, for example, has 14 congressional districts and 16 electoral votes. President Obama, while he won the state by 450,000 votes, carried only five of the 14 districts. So Republicans, instead of getting no electoral votes, would pick up nine. (Some analysts have calculated that if similar plans had been in place last year, Mitt Romney would have won the election, despite getting five million fewer votes than his opponent.)
So yeah, Mr. President, if you get a chance to annihilate those losers you should take it. Do it to them before they do it to you.
While there's a good chance Republicans will sober up before they take drastic election-rigging measures, there's no doubt that they're gearing up for another knock-down-drag-out fight. Only this time they're calling it "compromise."
I watched Paul Ryan, the failed vice-presidential candidate, on one of those Sunday TV talk shows and he said he was all about compromise.
Striking a theme that we are sure to hear again and again in the coming months, he said that the gridlock in Washington was Obama's fault. "He's looking to go farther to the left," Ryan said, "and he wants to fight us every step of the way politically."
He said that if someone like Bill Clinton were still president, he'd have had the country's problems solved by now.
Even for someone like Ryan, who is always careful to keep truth at a safe distance, that's a whopper.
When the freshly minted President Clinton raised taxes early in his first term, he did so without a single Republican vote. Not one. Neither did he get any support for his efforts to fix our national health care mess.
The tax boost increased revenue and allowed Clinton to balance the federal budget for the first time in decades. The grateful Republicans spent the next six years trying to impeach him. And that was when Republicans were reasonable, compared to what we've got now.
So I don't think Obama is going to annihilate the Republican Party. I guess I'm just a pessimist.

Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture (Paperback)
Out of Stock - Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Staff Reviews
Much has been written in recent years about the economic effect of discount stores; but where did this perception come from? Atlantic correspondent Ellen Ruppel Shell chronicles our initial distrust of cheap to its current popularity. From food, to clothing and furniture this comprehensive volume analyzes the real price of cheap.— Holly
A myth-shattering investigation of the true cost of America's passion for finding a better bargain
From the shuttered factories of the Rust Belt to the strip malls of the Sun Belt-and almost everywhere in between-America has been transformed by its relentless fixation on low price. This pervasive yet little- examined obsession with bargains is arguably the most powerful and devastating market force of our time, having fueled an excess of consumerism that blights our landscapes, escalates personal debt, lowers our standard of living, and even skews of our concept of time.
Spotlighting the peculiar forces that drove Americans away from quality, durability, and craftsmanship and towards quantity, quantity, and more quantity, Ellen Ruppel Shell traces the rise of the bargain through our current big-box profusion to expose the astronomically high cost of cheap.

ELLEN RUPPEL SHELL is a correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and writes for Discover, The New York Times Magazine, Smithsonian, and other publications. She is associate professor and codirector of the Program in Science Journalism at Boston University.

TV presenter Laura Hamilton became the latest celeb to slide out of Channel 4's The Jump, after losing out in Thursday night's live ski-off.
The 31-year-old TV beauty - who only gave birth to son Rocco 11 weeks ago - found herself bottom of the leaderboard after posting the slowest time in a bobsleigh heat.
The Place in The Sun presenter managed to fly 13m in the jump-off, only to be beaten by journalist Donal MacIntyre, who jumped half a metre further.
MacIntyre had been drafted in as a last minute replacement for ex-glamour model Melinda Messenger, who was forced to pull out of the contest after she suffered concussion when she fell on the bobsleigh track.
The Channel Four show was earlier thrown into turmoil when Olympic legend Sir Steve Redgrave withdrew from the live show after a nasty fall.
Sir Steve gave on-set medics a scare when he fell during training for a cross-country ski event and lay motionless for several minutes.
A show spokeswoman said: "He rolled a few times and then didn't move at all."
However, it emerged that the champion rower was merely following first aid advice to stay still in case of injury and is expected to make a full recovery in time for tonight's show.
Viewers will see the contestants all battling each other tonight after previous heats were divided up into men and women.

In this paper, we show that optical inverse tone-mapping (OITM) in light microscopy can improve the visibility of specimens, both when observed directly through the oculars and when imaged with a camera. In contrast to previous microscopy techniques, we premodulate the illumination based on the local modulation properties of the specimen itself. We explain how the modulation of uniform white light by a specimen can be estimated in real time, even though the specimen is continuously but not uniformly illuminated. This information is processed and back-projected constantly, allowing the illumination to be adjusted on the fly if the specimen is moved or the focus or magnification of the microscope is changed. The contrast of the specimen's optical image can be enhanced, and high-intensity highlights can be suppressed. A formal pilot study with users indicates that this optimizes the visibility of spatial structures when observed through the oculars. We also demonstrate that the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio in digital images of the specimen is higher if captured under an optimized rather than a uniform illumination. In contrast to advanced scanning techniques that maximize the S/N ratio using multiple measurements, our approach is fast because it requires only two images. This can improve image analysis in digital microscopy applications with real-time capturing requirements.

South Sudan Approves Mortgage Lender Amid Housing Shortage
South Sudan's Cabinet approved the establishment of a $200 million mortgage lender through a public-private partnership to help address a shortage of homes, Housing Minister Jemma Nunu Kumba said.
The proposed company, to be known as Housing Finance Bank, will be 49 percent owned by foreign investors, with 31 going to domestic financiers and the rest to the government, Kumba said in a phone interview on April 30 from the capital, Juba. About 90 percent of South Sudanese live in grass-thatched houses, according to the ministry.
"We have done a situation analysis and we found that housing is scarce and the few houses available are very unaffordable," Kumba said. The lender must raise $30 million to receive central bank approval to start operations, she said.
South Sudan is forecast to be the world's fastest-growing economy this year, with the International Monetary Fund forecasting gross domestic product will expand 32.1 percent after contracting 53 percent in 2012. The East African nation this month resumed oil production, ending a 15-month shutdown after a dispute with neighboring Sudan over transport and processing fees. It pumped 350,000 barrels of crude per day before output was halted.
An enabling law for the mortgage industry has yet to be drafted and passed by parliament, and the establishment of the lender may take as long as a year, Kumba said.
"We'll make sure it materializes in the shortest possible time," she said.
The government envisages the lender offering housing loans at interest rates of 10 percent to 15 percent, Kumba said. Two foreign venture-capital companies have expressed interest in investing, she said, without identifying them.
Banks that operate in South Sudan include Kenya Commercial Bank Ltd., CfC Stanbic Holdings Ltd. and Equity Bank Ltd.
South Sudan seceded from Sudan in July 2011 after a referendum on independence, the culmination of a 2005 peace agreement intended to end a two-decade civil war. The south kept three-quarters of the formerly united country's oil output of about 490,000 barrels a day.
Gross domestic product per capita in South Sudan is estimated at $1,859, according to World Bank data, placing the country ahead of other sub-Saharan African nations including Nigeria, Ghana and Kenya.

From our August issue: Clinical-Style Validation,...
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
MethylGene and Pharmion have expanded their collaboration related to anticancer treatments based on histone deacetylase enzyme (HDAC) inhibitors. MethylGene could make up to $101 million in various milestone payments from this deal.
The latest agreement adds a new target, Class III HDACs called sirtuins, to be studied. The companies will work on small molecule inhibitors of sirtuins that will be developed as either a monotherapy or a combination treatment. MethylGene reports that it has identified a series of potent lead compounds, and Pharmion expects to file an IND application within the next 24 to 30 months.
Sirtuins, including SIRT1, reportedly have been shown to deacetylate histone proteins and numerous transcription factors, leading to promotion of normal cell survival and aberrant gene silencing in cancer cells. Inhibition of sirtuins allows reexpression of silenced tumor suppressor genes, leading to reduced growth of cancer cells.
Synergies in gene reexpression have been demonstrated by combining SIRT1 inhibition with either standard cytotoxics or other epigenetic modifying drugs, including inhibitors of DNA methylation and histone deacetylation.
Pharmion will fund preclinical research, including approximately $5 million in full-time equivalent (FTE) support to MethylGene over an 18-month period. MethylGene will cover 40% of clinical development costs, and Pharmion will provide the rest.
Pharmion's milestone fees to MethylGene could reach $22 million based on the achievement of development and regulatory goals. The nearest milestone of $2 million will be paid upon enrollment of the first patient in a Phase I trial. In addition, MethylGene could receive up to $79 million upon the achievement of sales milestones and royalties.

Inscription reads: "Following Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's victory at Winchester, Union troops pursued the Confederates south, "up" the Shenandoah Valley. While Gen. John C. Fr�mont advanced on the Valley Turnpike, another Union force, led by Gen. James Shields, pursued Jackson through the Page (Luray) Valley farther east."
Jackson took position at Port Republic, four miles east of you, to engage Shields, leaving Gen. Richard Ewell here at Cross Keys to hold back Fr�mont. Ewell posted his 5,000 men on a ridge overlooking Mill Creek, one mile to your right. The 15th Alabama infantry regiment remained here at Union Church to give timely warning of Fr�mont's approach.
Early on June 8, 1862, Fr�mont brushed aside the Alabamians. He posted 40 cannon in the fields to your front and began furiously shelling the Confederate position. Two hours later Fr�mont attacked, blindly throwing Gen. Julius Stahel�s brigade forward toward Ewell's right. The 8th New York was slaughtered by Gen. Isaac R. Trimble's Confederate brigade, which was sheltered behind a rail fence. Attacks against Ewell's center and left achieved no better success.
Fr�mont withdrew here to the Keezletown Road. Ewell slipped away, joining Jackson on the banks of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River at Port Republic. The last battle of the 1862 Valley Campaign was fought there June 9, 1862.

Two of this weekend's fatal crashes involved tourists.
A 52-year-old Dutch tourist allegedly failed to stop at a
stop sign at Rakaia, Canterbury, on Saturday night, killing
three people.
On Friday night a German tourist in a campervan allegedly
crossed the centreline, killing a passenger in an oncoming
four-wheel drive in Whenuakite on the Coromandel Peninsula.
Assistant Commissioner of road policing Dave Cliff said
police worked with the Accident Compensation Corporation
(ACC), the Ministry of Transport and New Zealand Transport
Agency to tackle the issue, including encouraging rental
companies to brief customers about the road rules and
regulations before they drove off.
"There's an awful lot being done but I guess what it
highlights is whatever you do you're relying on people
obeying the rules and being vigilant," Mr Cliff said.
"For example, the crash involving a tourist driving through a
stop sign, that's an international symbol so it's probably
not specifically related to the fact they're a tourist, it
appears to be inattention, and those rural intersections
present real risks to people because of the speeds involved."
Nationally, fewer than 2 per cent of fatal crashes involved
overseas drivers, he said.
However, in some popular tourist areas such as Queenstown,
that figure rose to around 25 per cent, Mr Cliff said.
Kate Meldrum, general manager marketing and customer
experience at Tourism Holdings Limited, said tourists who
used its campervans were given extensive information on the
