If you would like connections to your admin panel to be secure, enable Force SSL Admin. If you are using a non-default SSL Host, do not use WordPress' built-in FORCE_SSL_ADMIN or FORCE_SSL_LOGIN.
If I'm not supposed to use FORCE_SSL_LOGIN with shared SSL, what's the best way to enable SSL logins? I don't need to secure my entire admin panel (FORCE_SSL_ADMIN); I just want login credentials encrypted.

We have just got back from Valencia (visiting the building plot) again. While we were walking from our hotel to the metro on the second evening we came across this little guy having great fun bouncing on the trampoline, supported by his stretchy ropes!
The latest pictures of progress on the house are, as always, here.

Increased demand and a low inventory of homes in the under-$500,000 range are making the current real estate market "hot as a pistol," said Tupper Briggs of Re/Max Alliance in Evergreen.
Since January, 327 homes have sold in the Evergreen-Conifer area — a 13 percent increase over this time last year, Briggs said.
On the other hand, there are only 442 listings on the current market, a significant drop from 729 homes for sale a year ago, he noted.
The average sale price of homes in the area has jumped by 13 percent, coincidentally, Briggs added. This year homes are bringing an average of $458,000. In May 2012, the average home sale price was $405,000.
The trend of lower-priced homes selling more quickly than ones in the million-dollar range is continuing, according to Briggs.
There is a three-month inventory of homes priced at $250,000 and lower. For homes in the $250,000 to $500,000 range, a four-month inventory exists. It will take approximately nine months to sell a home in the $500,000 to $750,000 range and a year to sell those in the $750,000 to $1 million category.
There also is a 30-month inventory of homes priced at more than $1 million, said Briggs. However, even this market has increased since last year, he said. Since January, 12 homes over $1 million in value have been sold.
"Basically, if a home is under $500,000 and priced reasonably, in good condition and location, sellers should expect lots of showings and a quick sale," said Briggs. "Price is a function of location and condition," he remarked.
Revaluations fluctuate
The market value of homes is unrelated to the county's assessment of their worth, said Briggs. This could be good or bad news for Evergreen homeowners, depending on individual results of this year's revaluation.
Jefferson County Assessor Jim Everson said that in Evergreen there was a wide variance in reassessed home values.
In Genesee South, the median value of homes increased by 19 percent. In the Nob Hill area, values dropped by 43 percent.
Median home values in Hiwan Estates and Fairway and Hiwan Hills increased by more than 8 percent this year, and those in north-central Evergreen dropped by 11 percent.
In calculating revaluations, Everson said assessors do comparisons of homes sold during the last two years.
"We apply a coefficient," said Everson. 'We try to find out likely property values of unsold homes."
The size and quality of the house is taken into consideration, along with its location and amenities.
"A home might get a positive coefficient because of its view of Mount Evans," he said.
In determining the tax rate for a home, the county uses a formula that factors in county and district mill levies.
If a resident has an issue with his home's assessed value, he can make an appeal to the county from now until June 1.

Network processors are programmable devices with special architectural features that are optimized to perform packet forwarding decisions. Those decisions are often based on data accessed from various table structures. Access to these structures typically requires one of several search methods, each of which consists of multiple individual memory accesses, leading to significant latency to complete the process. One of the architectural features of network processors is multithreading of each processing element in order to hide the effects of these long latency searches. Hardware search engines can significantly reduce the latency of such searches, and are shown to have a significant impact on the number of threads required in each processing element.

The Southeast Alabama Medical Center unveiled a new addition Thursday.
The Family Birth Center has seven new labor, delivery, and recovery rooms in addition to the 20 already in place.
This new addition comes seven years to the day after the Women's Center opened.
As the population in the wiregrass continues to grow, so does the need for more medical services.
Since opening in 2003, the center has been the site of more than 10,000 births.
"We do what's called a 'family care center environment', and in that environment basically what you're trying to do is you're keeping mom and baby together with the family in one room, you don't have to move around and you try to keep the family together so that they have time to bond with each other," said Tammy Smith, Director of the Women's Center at the Medical Center.
Last year, more than 17,000 babies were delivered at the medical center.

Tpop, or Thai pop music, is a music genre of Thailand. It's basically Jpop and Kpop's unnoticeable step-brother if compared. Also, Thai-pop origins lie in R&B, pop, hip-hop, ballads, and alternative rock. It also mixes with other genres, such as disco, funk, and techno/electropop. The term is extremely broad, covering phleng phuea chiwit, luk thung and mor lam. Popular artists from the 1980s to now include: Bird McIntyre, Pumpuang Duangjan, Asanee-Wasan Micro, Mai Chaorenpura, Ploy, Tik Shiro, J Jetrin, Boyscout, Nuvo, Lift-Oil, SWEE:D, Four Mod, K-Otic, Thaitanium, Joey Boy, Tata Young, and etc.
K-pop fan: Tpop? I guess its okay, but Kpop is still the best. Plus to me I think it's copying off from Kpop but they're not doing a good job at it.

The Brunswick City School District recognizes its responsibility to identify the special needs of students who perform or show potential for performing at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared to others of their age. We believe that students with these abilities need opportunities to experience a differentiated curriculum that will encourage them to develop their talents, to research their interests, to seek challenges, to understand and appreciate their unique abilities and to become lifelong learners.
In accordance with Section 3324.01 through 3324.07 of the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Rules for the Identification and Services for Children Who Are Gifted, the Brunswick City School District has established procedures to identify gifted students.
The district identifies children in grades K-12 in one or more of the following areas: Superior Cognitive Ability; Specific Academic Ability; Creative Thinking Ability; Visual or Performing Arts Ability.
Please refer to the Parent Handbook below for additional information regarding gifted identification and services in the Brunswick City Schools.
The Educational Service Center of Medina County will be hosting Dr. Sherri McClurg, who is specialized in child and adolescent clinical psychology.

What are the symptoms of esophagitis?
Symptoms of esophagitis include:
- Difficult and/or painful swallowing
- A feeling of food getting stuck on the way down
- Heartburn, acid reflux
- Unpleasant taste in mouth
- Sore throat, hoarseness, or cough
- Mouth sores
- Nausea, vomiting
- Abdominal pain or indigestion
- Chest pain, in the middle of the chest, often radiating to the back, usually associated with swallowing or occurring soon after a meal
- Bad breath (halitosis)
How is esophagitis diagnosed?
A gastroenterologist (a doctor who specializes in treatment of disorders of the gastrointestinal tract) may order specialized tests to look for the cause and extent of the esophagitis. These tests include:
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD): An endoscope is used to directly examine the esophagus, stomach and first part of the intestines. In addition, tissue samples can be obtained (biopsy) to assess the severity of the damage to the esophagus.
- Esophageal manometry: this test is used to measure the pressure inside the lower part of the esophagus. A thin, pressure-sensitive tube is passed through the mouth or nose and into the stomach, which is then pulled slowly back into the esophagus. Patients are asked to swallow, and the pressure of the muscle contractions is measured along several sections of the tube.
- Upper GI series or barium swallow is a test where X-rays are taken of the esophagus after drinking a barium solution. Barium coats the lining of the esophagus and appears white on an X-ray, and can show the location and extent of damage to the esophagus.

TRADE SECRETS: THE BATH; The Most Private Spot Primps for Its Public
Published: March 29, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
For the walls and shower door, he and Paul Laird, an architect at D'Aquino Monaco, laminated watermelon-colored Thai fiber paper from Kate's Paperie in SoHo between two sheets of glass. The back pane was painted a deep red to increase the color intensity; the glass-and-paper sandwich was attached to the walls, set within a grid of polished chrome, and screwed on with visible chrome fasteners.
The floor is granite, and the custom oval sink is cast glass, with a sand-blasted steel base.
THE ROMAN BATH, 250 SQUARE FEET: $50,000 -- In this tranquil cream-colored room, created by Mr. D'Aquino and his partner, Francine Monaco, an architect, beauty lies in simplicity, and in the suggestion of an ancient Roman bath. There are only a few essential but graceful objects: a claw-foot tub, a hanging milk-glass lamp, a 19th-century column, a stone urn that doubles as a laundry basket.
Aside from a mirrored medicine cabinet, the walls are bare. Each area has a quietly felt boundary. The designers extended the glass shower enclosure to project out from the wall. ''The shower is a crystal box,'' Ms. Monaco said. The shower floor is a continuation of the terrazzo floor, and the walls are limestone (most of the materials and fixtures came from Ann Sacks Tile & Stone in Manhattan). A small stone slab cantilevered from the wall serves as a bench.
CYLINDRICAL SHOWER, 85 SQUARE FEET: $22,000 -- Louise Braverman, a Manhattan architect, had a couple on the Upper East Side who wanted their 85-square-foot bathroom to meld with their 100-square-foot bedroom, Eurostyle. So, she installed frosted-glass pocket doors between the rooms, one banded in green, the other in blue (Page 1). When the doors, whose glass is from Bendheim, the glass company in TriBeCa, are open, the view from the bed is just a discreet gleaming turquoise tiled column. When the doors are closed, they keep humidity out of the bedroom.
For the same client's guest bathroom (lower right), which Ms. Braverman renovated for $5,500, she designed a backsplash -- often a nondescript border of tile -- as an architectural element. Made of four-inch squares of Interstyle glass tiles with a faint green cast, sold at Nemo Tile in the Flatiron district, the backsplash provides a soft glow that contrasts with the sleek finish of the square counter (a single sheet of stainless steel bent at a right angle). ''It's the Donald Judd box,'' Ms. Braverman said.
A round Kohler sink and an adjustable round mirror from Alu, a manufacturer of store fixtures in Manhattan, provide more contrast. The floor is paved with three-quarter-inch-square pale green tiles, from Bisazza Mosaico in Manhattan.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER, 95 SQUARE FEET: $16,300 -- Anyone opposed to adjusting the temperature while standing vulnerably under the shower will appreciate an arrangement devised by Glen Coben, a Manhattan architect, in his home in Harrison, N.Y. He put the shower head at one end and the knobs at the other. A 4-foot-high-by-2 1/2-foot-wide sheet of glass, half an inch thick (and set in an aluminum channel on the limestone box surrounding the tub), keeps the shower water where it is supposed to be. Niches between the studs in the walls are perfect towel holders, and a partial wall of blue glass tiles screens the toilet.
The palette is crisp. Walls of blue Bisazza glass tiles, chosen for their iridescence, sparkle next to walls of white New York subway tiles. Beige limestone clads the counter, floor and bathtub.
THEORY AND TEXTURE, 35 SQUARE FEET: $18,050 -- House & Home asked Peter Pawlak to redesign an existing 35-square-foot bathroom for a New York apartment, with a budget limit of $20,000. His innovative plan relied on domestic manufacturers. To implement it would cost $5,200 in materials and $12,850 in labor.
His design approach rests on a muted palette and richly textured materials. For floor and counter, Mr. Pawlak chose sea-green slate for its beauty, sturdiness and price ($5 a square foot from ABC Stone, in Brooklyn), rather than more expensive limestone ($15 to $20 per square foot). Mexican blue-green matte tiles, each with a unique coloration, line the shower ($6 a square foot from Dal Tile, 800-933-8453).
An opaque screen between bath and toilet was created using two patterns of ribbed glass ($30 a square foot from Bendheim) that are laminated together. ''You see only the silhouette of the person on the other side,'' Mr. Pawlak said. ''The texture breaks up the image of the body.''
A fog-proof mirrored medicine cabinet (from Robern in Bristol, Pa.; about $700), hangs above a cantilevered American Standard sink, framed by sparkling clear glass shelves. Planks of honey-colored bamboo -- ''an inexpensive material that can be stained in many colors,'' he said -- were used for cabinets and to wrap the Kohler tub, adding an exotic surface (bamboo Bamtex flooring, $4 a square foot from the Mintec Corporation in Towson, Md.; 888-964-6832).
''Introducing wood in a bath takes away its sterile appearance and makes it warmer,'' Mr. Pawlak said. ''The fibers give the surface a greater direction and depth. Stained dark, it looks like a painting on canvas.''
Behind the glass shelves, and in the niche by the tub, he suggests using mirrors for depth, making the tiny room look larger.
CONCEALING AND REVEALING, 50 SQUARE FEET: $13,335 -- ''We're about concealing,'' said S. Russell Groves, a Manhattan architect, who designed a sleek custom-made stainless-steel vanity for an Upper West Side bathroom, placing the cabinet discreetly in the bottom. He chose the Eileen Gray Satellite mirror ($5,835) designed in 1927, which has an integral light and is available from Pucci in Manhattan.
Taupe and gray Bisazza tiles look delicate and hand-crafted because the mosaic pattern appears random. ''We took a 10-inch-by-10-inch square and designed a random pattern that was 50 percent gray, 20 percent taupe and 30 percent white,'' Mr. Groves said.
Piecing together a random mosaic requires the help of a professional. At Nemo Tile, the staff architectural consultants charge a fee based on the cost of a sample. Home Depot's staff designers can also help, and charge by the hour.

Read an Excerpt
Hands tense on the wheel, Detective Sergeant Dylan Hastings drove his squad car along the undulating ribbon of tar that bisected miles of brittle-dry stud farm acreage dotted with stands of tall eucalyptus.
He was going to arrest Louisa Fairchild, the grande dame of the Australian Thoroughbred racing scene, a woman who thought she was above it all, who figured Commonwealth justice was the best money could buy.
Dylan was about to show her different.
This time.
Because he'd seen Louisa buy "justice" beforewhen he was just eight years old. It had changed his life forever.
It had made him become a cop.
It had made Dylan determined to fight for justice for all not just the stinking rich.
He turned off the Hunter Valley highway, heading for Fairchild's nine-hundred-acre estate along the Hunter River.
The route passed several miles of vineyards. It was March, and autumn colors quivered, brittle on the vines, metal windmills turning lazily in the hot wind. Here and there horses ran wild over the drought-brown hills, tails held high, frisky in the hot, smoke-tinged breeze.
It was all seemingly calm despite the political tensions simmering in Sydney, yet the ominous ochre haze over the blue hills of Koongorra Tops spoke of a different kind of threat.
The constant whispering reminder of bushfire smoldering in deep gullies just beyond the ridge across the Hunter River didn't bode well for a valley coming off a long, hard summer of unseasonable drought.
The homicide and arson case at Lochlain Racing, coming on top of these already tinderbox conditions, had left the town of Pepper Flats and the surrounding community wire-tense and baying for blood. The fire atthe stud farm had been ugly. Real ugly. And the community wanted someone to pay.
Dylan was about to make Louisa Fairchild do just that.
Still, like the smoldering hotspots across the Hunter, a small coal of doubt flickered quiet and deep inside Dylan. He knew he didn't have enough to officially charge her. Yet.
But his superintendent had issued the order to bring her in ASAP.
A gas bomb had detonated in the Sydney central business district less than two hours agopart of the APEC protests. It had gone off just as the U.S. President was landing at Sydney International for the leaders' portion of the Summit. The U.S. Secretary of State was already in town, at her hotel, where a second device had been primed to detonate simultaneously.
Techs had managed to defuse that one, but the death toll from nerve gas in the first explosion had already hit thirty-two and was climbing fast. The New South Wales police force had received threats from one of the radical protest groups that there were more bombs out there. Riots were now erupting, and part of Sydney had been quarantined. According to Superintendent Matt CaruthersHunter Valley Land Area Commanderthe Australian Prime Minister was about to go on air to declare a state of emergency.
Caruthers had also informed Dylan that the Prime Minister was calling in the military, and that the NSW police commissioner had ordered the majority of the state police force to the capital ASAPincluding just about every officer in the Hunter Valley Land Area Command. The homicide team working the Sam Whittleson-Lochlain arson case had also been recalled.
All that remained in the Upper Hunter was a skeleton staff for rotational patrol.
Dylan had been left to twist solo in the dry wind until the APEC dust settled.
This arrest was unorthodox. Everything about it.
And Louisa's lawyers were going to be all over it.
But Caruthers was worried Louisa Fairchild would use this very opportunity to slip through the cracks. She was already a flight risk, and so far, everything the homicide squad had found to date pointed right at her.
She had the motive, opportunity and means to shoot Sam Whittleson, her sixty-one-year-old neighbor and owner of Whittleson Stud, whose charred remains had been found at Lochlain the night of the fire.
Louisa and Sam had been fighting like dogs over rights to Lake Dingo for the last two years. The lake straddled their estates, but the farm boundaries themselves were in dispute, and Louisa had already shot and injured her neighbor over the water issue ten months ago. She'd shot Sam in her library, with her Smith & Wesson .38. He'd survived, but there were witnesses who'd heard Louisa say she "should have killed the bugger properly the first time."
That was a death threat in Dylan's book.
And now Sam Whittleson was properly dead.
The first shooting had never gone to trial, a fact that irked the hell out of local cops, including him. Louisa Fairchild with her overpriced lawyers and swanky PR team had claimed self-defense, wangling a deal with Whittleson's legal counsel that saw Whittleson dropping charges against Louisa for fear of being prosecuted for trespassing and assault himself.
But the homicide team now had witnesses who'd seen Louisa Fairchild's dark-gray Holden fleeing Lochlain the night of the blaze and murder. The soil in the tires of her truck confirmed she had been there.
And the fire-damaged murder weapon had finally been recovered from the crime-scene rubblea Smith & Wesson .38. The gun was currently being processed by forensics techs, and a serial number should be legible before the day was out, which meant the weapon could be traced.
Quite possibly right back to Louisa Fairchild.
Dylan would have been happier to have known for a fact the murder weapon belonged to Louisa.
Instead he'd been sent in prematurely. To squeeze her, bring her in for questioning, rattle her cage, find anything that would allow the NSW police enough to hold her for trial while they built their case.
Right. And who was going to take the fall if the weapon wasn't hers, if the charges didn't stick?
Dylan pinched the bridge of his nose.
He could see himself going down as the scapegoat on this one. Once those APEC stories started dying back from national headlines, this was going to be the news.
A small fist of tension curled in his gut as he caught sight of the bronze-and-red Fairchild logo emblazoned on massive stone pillars flanking the entrance to the estate. Dylan's jaw tightened as he signaled to the guard his intent to enter and swung into a driveway lined for almost a mile with mature jacarandas that knitted branches in a canopy over the hard-packed dirt.
On either side of him white fencing trailed across acres of dry grassland that was being cut to the quick for fear of bushfire, the tractors boiling soft clouds of dust that blew like spindrift. But as he neared the manor house and saw sprinklers shooting long white staccato arcs over lush emerald-green lawns and vibrant flower beds, Dylan's acrimony bit deeper.
Louisa Fairchild defied even the drought.
There were severe irrigation restrictions on the river. She was likely pumping water from Lake Dingo which belonged, allegedly, to a dead man.
A man she might have killed. For this very water. For the stud farm she was still trying to snatch out from under his family.
Dylan reminded himself to bury his personal hatred of Louisa Fairchild. It could cost him down the road if his animosity got in the way of her arrest.
The mobile phone on his belt buzzed as he pulled into the circular gravel driveway.
He reached for it, checked caller ID. Heidi. Probably calling to pester him about that party she was desperate to go to tonight. Or the private art school in Sydney she suddenly so passionately wanted to attend.
Dylan let the call flip to voice mail, feeling the tension in his gut wind tighter as he pulled to a stop.
His kid might be as fickle as the wind, but she'd also had a rough ride lately, nearly losing her own horse in the Lochlain fire. Yet no matter how Dylan tried to help, Heidi was throwing up barriers, acting out, making additional demands. She'd just have to wait until he got home tonight, because right now he had a potential career-breaker on his hands.
And Heidi wasn't going to have a future if this case ended up taking him down.
He got out of the squad car, adjusted his gun belt, and put on his hat. It was unusually hot for an autumn evening. He squinted into the haze, waiting for backup from the neighboring Scone station to arrive.
He'd asked for a female cop to help him execute the warrant. What he'd gotten was Ron Peebles, a probationary constable on the job for all of three weeks.
Already things were going sideways, Dylan thought as he watched a plume of dust rise behind the squad car approaching in the distance.
Constable Peebles drew up alongside Dylan's vehicle, got out, his movements taut. It was the young rookie's first arrest and it showed.
"Ready?" Dylan said.
Dry gum leaves clattered suddenly in a gust of hot wind, and a flock of lorikeets burst from the branches in an explosion of color as they took flight and darted through the sprinklers.
Peebles tensed, cleared his throat. "Yeah, I'm ready," he said, looking everything but.
Boots crunching over the gravel driveway, they made their way to the entrance of the massive stone-and-stucco mansion, built ten years ago. Dylan still remembered the old house. He'd played on this farm as a kid with his brother Liam and their friend Henry. That was many years back, before Liam had been murdered.
He climbed the stairs to the door, chest tightening.
He glanced at Peebles standing slightly to the side of the door, feet planted square, hand near his weapon. Peebles nodded.
Dylan rang the bell.
A great booming clang resounded inside the house, and the door swung open, two blue heelers barreling out.
"Officer Hastings?" Louisa's housekeeper, Geraldine Lip-ton, regarded them with a frown.
"G'day, Mrs. Lipton," he said. "Is Miss Fairchild in?"
Her eyes darted to Peebles, then back to Dylan, hand tightening on the brass doorknob as she pulled the door slightly closed. "Miss Fairchild is busy riding," she said tersely. "And then she'll be busy packing. She leaves for London tomorrow."
Dylan flashed Peebles a looka definite flight risk. "It's important we speak to her immediately, ma'am," he said.
The pinkness of irritability reached up Mrs. Lipton's neck and into her cheeks. "Why don't you wait in the library, officers?" she said curtly. "I'll see if Miss Fairchild can meet with you."
Dylan removed his hat as they followed the stout housekeeper in her starched navy-and-white uniform through a vaulted hallway decorated with broad-leafed plants, sleek sculptures and breezy rattan furniture. The decor had been redone since Dylan had been here last winter. It looked cold to him. But then they didn't pay him to pick out color swatches and match drapes. That was his ex's department.
The thought of Sally shot a familiar jolt of annoyance through him that compounded his feeling of ill will toward Louisa, the past suddenly crowding in on him.
Mrs. Lipton threw open a set of solid old jarrah-wood doors, ushering the two men into the library of polished wood, leather furniture, antique tomes, old art and a general aura of established wealth.
Dylan immediately eyed the elaborate, glassed-in gun collection beyond the fireplace. If Louisa's Smith & Wesson was in that cabinet he was going to have a problem. It would mean the pistol they had in the lab belonged to someone else.
Again, he cursed that he'd been forced to move prematurely. He needed the serial number on that murder weapon.
"Can I send for some tea while you wait?" The housekeeper's voice remained tight.
"No. Thank you," Dylan said, striding into the vast room where Sam Whittleson had come damn near to getting himself shot to death the first time.
Late-afternoon sunlight streamed in through French doors open to the patio, the water in the pool outside shimmering as if someone had just dived in. But Dylan made straight for the cabinet, pulse quickening as he noted a vacant spot on the red velvet where Louisa's .38 had rested last June.
It was missing.
But as he leaned forward for a closer inspection of her collection, the library doors swung open with a crash and Louisa Fairchild's voice resounded through the room.
"What in hell do you people want now!"
Dylan straightened, turned slowly to face her, projecting a powerful confidence and calm he didn't quite feel.
Framed by the double doorway and flanked by her stubby housekeeper holding her black velvet riding helmet, Louisa Fairchild cut a tall, sophisticated and formidable figure for her eighty yearsspine held stiff, crisp cotton stock-tied blouse high at the neck, tan breeches, dusty leather riding boots and silvery hair pulled back in a sleek chignon. She had handsome features and the very tanned and lined face of an Australian outdoorswoman. Her hands were brown, too. Veined, but elegant. Strong. Working hands, if rich ones.
Louisa was a blend of what defined this country in many ways. A woman of the land, one who'd made her wealth from it. Descended from a family that had risen from common stock brought over on boats to the penal colony to become rich in a warm climate of equal opportunity.
If Louisa had the same respect for equal justice as she had for opportunity, if Dylan didn't hate her so much for what she'd done to his family, he might even find a grudging respect for this matriarch. He thought of his own frail mother, of this formidable woman's indirect role in unraveling her.
"G'day, Miss Fairchild"
"Cut to the chase, Detective Sergeant," she snapped. "What do you want?"
He noted the strain in her neck muscles, the way she held her riding crop tight against her thigh, and he let silence hang for a few beats, just to rattle her further.
"We'd like to ask you some questions, Miss Fairchild," he said, walking slowly toward her. "We'd like to know, for example, where your Smith & Wesson revolver is."
Her eyes flicked to the gun cabinet and back. Her hand clenched the crop tighter. "If you're here about that Sam Whittleson thing"
"You mean his homicide?"
"I have nothing to say about that. And I must insist you get off my estate."
"Perhaps you'd like to come down to the Pepper Flats station then, just to answer a few questions?"
"Are you arresting me, Detective Sergeant?" Her chin tilted up in defiance. "Because if not, I have no intention of going anywhere with you, and I'm ordering you off my land. Now. Before I call my lawyers."
"Then I'm afraid we'll have to do this the hard way, ma'am," Dylan said, reaching for the cuffs at his belt.
"Miss Louisa Fairchild," he said, reaching for her arm, "I'm placing you under arrest for the murder of Sam Whittleson."
Megan Stafford stepped out of the pool, wet hair splashing droplets at her feet as she reached for her towel, the evening sun balmy and soft against her bare skin.
She began to towel herself as she studied the purplish-yellow haze on the horizon. It looked as though a thunderstorm was brewing, but she knew better. The haze was from the Koongorra fires.

UAW Seeks to Claw Back Its Four-Year-Old Wage Concession
United Auto Workers Vice President Joe Ashton, who negotiates with General Motors Co., said he wants to raise the $14-an-hour entry-level wage for union members at assembly plants in talks this year.
The pay for new employees, about half of what senior workers get, is "not a middle-class wage," Ashton said today in an interview after GM announced it will invest $69 million and add 2,500 jobs to start making two new models at the Detroit plant that builds the Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid.
The UAW's push in this year's labor talks would seek to partially pull back on a concession made four years ago before the automakers have had a chance to hire many workers under the lower wage. The union is not seeking to eliminate the entry-level wage, which is paid to 3 percent of its members at the three largest U.S. car companies, Ashton said.
"In negotiations, there will be some conversations about moving these people up," Ashton said. "We're not looking to make these plants uncompetitive. It's no good making $28 or $38 an hour if you don't have a job."
The union must balance priorities in negotiations between keeping costs low to secure new jobs and getting back some concessions made in recent years as GM and Chrysler Group LLC were headed into bankruptcy, said Harley Shaiken, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who specializes in labor.
"The companies will resist it," Shaiken said. "It was one of the most painful concessions that the union made. They felt they had no alternative."
UAW workers in U.S. automaker plants earned $13.30 an hour in 1985, according to the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Second-Tier Wages
The UAW will point out that GM and Ford Motor Co. made billions of dollars last year in a weak car market while most of their workers made the top wage, Shaiken said. At the same time, the union won't jeopardize the recovery of Detroit's carmakers with huge demands, he said.
GM reversed plans to close a plant in Michigan last year to build small cars there after the UAW agreed the factory would be staffed with about 40 percent of workers earning the second-tier wage. Raising pay for those workers may create an incentive for GM, Ford and Chrysler to outsource work, said Bob Clark, president of labor firm RWC Consulting LLC.
"If his intention is to compress the difference between regular employees and the second tier, than it's self-defeating," Clark, a former director of labor affairs planning for Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford, said in a telephone interview. "Even with the second tier, they have uncompetitive labor costs, and that means fewer and fewer jobs."
Ashton said in March that the UAW would consider expanding the use of a lower wage for new workers in exchange for jobs. He made the comments at GM's factory in Orion Township, Michigan, where the automaker retained 1,550 hourly and salaried jobs to build the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic small cars beginning later this year.
Ashton is "under some pressure on the issue of second tier" from his union, said Art Schwartz, a former GM labor negotiator who is now president of a consulting company in Ann Arbor, Michigan. "This is one way to deal with it. You don't want to do away with that because he can win work with it."
GM, Ford and Chrysler may not be receptive to raising the entry-level wage because the automakers still have a gap they are trying to close with foreign automakers, Schwartz said.
Nonunion Competitors
Ford's U.S. labor costs are about $58 an hour, $8 more than mostly nonunion U.S. factories of competitors such as Hyundai Motor Co., according to a website Ford started last month to promote its negotiating position in contract talks.
GM's shares closed at $31.27 a share, up 44 cents, or 1.4 percent, in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. Ford fell 8 cents to $14.58.
The UAW will negotiate new contracts this year with GM, Ford and Chrysler before their agreements expire in September. UAW President Bob King has said workers have given up $7,000 to $30,000 each in concessions since 2005 to help the automakers survive.
A two-tiered wage was contentious among some union members who spent their entire careers making the same wage as their co-workers, said George McGregor, president of UAW Local 22, which represents workers at GM's Chevrolet Volt plant.
"I want to get back to where we were," McGregor said. "I'm making $28 an hour and the guy across from me is making $14 an hour and doing the same thing. It will take time, but we'll get it back."

Demos. Soundcloud / By Post / No Downloads
Tempa's landmark 100th release — a double pack of essential classics to mark the occasion, released on 18th September.
Founded in London in 2000, Tempa swiftly evolved to become one of the most vital and influential labels in the last 15 years of UK dance music. At the epicentre of dubstep as it evolved from a mutant offshoot of garage into its own unique scene and sound, Tempa has fostered many of the genre's best-known names.
For our 100th release, we're marking that legacy by casting an ear back into our rich archives. Just as powerful as when they were first released, the music on Tempa 100 is both a celebration and a reminder of the label's ten-tons-heavy contribution to UK music history.
Appleblim's latest for Tempa is a three tracker that opens with the idiosyncratic 'Avebury', whose momentum builds steadily towards the track's apex before a rude bassline plunges the skittering keys into a deep, measured lull.
The 12's centerpiece is its most challenging offering, with the almost ten minute 'Wandered' bubbling menacingly under the surface for the duration. The grayscale 'Auburn Blaze' rounds off an eclectic selection of tracks that as a whole feel most at home reverberating off the walls of a dank south London club, or on the night bus home across a buzzing metropolis.
Available from August 14th on digital and vinyl.
Nomine returns with Blind Man, his fifth 12" for Tempa. What marks out Nomine's takes on dubstep and techno is his innate ability to use subtle sonic gestures to create a massive physical and emotional impact: in his hands, a brief flicker of struck hand drums or a fragmentary drift of melody can hit you as hard as a two-ton heavy blast of sub-bass pressure.
Available April 13 on 12" vinyl and digital. Pre-order now on iTunes.
The next release on Tempa marks the return of J:Kenzo, with Urban Gorilla, the dubstep firebrand's first release since last year's crushing Magneto 12".

Now Playing Onstage in San Antonio - Week of 8/24/2014
Click Here to View BroadwayWorld.com San Antonio Calendar
The Classic Theatre
Classic Theatre of San Antonio opens up its seventh season with a production of George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man. Worlds collide with delicious results when two opposing soldiers vie for the heart of an idealistic young girl. Director Stacey Connelly captures Shaw's signature wit and charm in this classic, romantic comedy which illuminates the resulting humor of heroic ideals turned on their head. George Bernard Shaw's Arms and the Man takes place at the close of the Serbo-Bulgarian war in 1885, where Raina (Margaret Tonra), a young Bulgarian woman, totally idolizes her fiancee Sergius Saranoff (Nathan Thurman), one of the heroes of the war. As the Serbian army retreats, a voluntary Swiss soldier, Bluntschli (Tyler Keyes) seeks shelter by climbing through Raina's bedroom window and begging for her to hide him. Bluntschli's gentle nature and unique ammunition (chocolates in lieu of bullets) contrasts sharply with Raina's romantic notions of war and heroism, yet she finds herself attracted to him, and helps him escape. Shortly thereafter, Sergius returns from the war and Raina begins to find his attitude more pompous and irritating. Her thoughts return again and again to her "chocolate cream soldier," and when Bluntschli reappears, she finds herself torn between her romantic ideals and the surprise of real love. Arms and the Man premiered on April 21, 1894 at the Avenue Theatre in London. This play was Shaw's first of many commercial triumphs. Arms reached Broadway only five months later and eventually inspired an enormously popular operetta, The Chocolate Soldier. With other such classics as Pygmalion, Major Barbara, and Saint Joan, George Bernard Shaw remains one of the most celebrated playwrights in literature, known for his incisive wit and intelligent comedies. An ardent socialist, Shaw lived to examine social issues in all his plays, transforming the frothy and sentimental melodrama of the late 1800s. In addition to Tonra, Keyes and Thurman, the cast features Allan S. Ross, Kathy Couser, Elizabeth Ann Cave, Robert J. Ferrelli, and Joseph Urick. The production also features Costume Design by Jodi Karjala, Scenic Design by Abigail Entsminger, Lighting Design by Greg Starbird, and Sound Design by Rick Malone. Performances of Arms and the Man are scheduled Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 8:00pm and Sunday afternoons at 3:00pm beginning August 22 and continuing through September 7, with an Educator's Preview Night on Thursday, August 21.

This will lead to daily chances for thunderstorms over the mountains...some of which will linger into the overnight hours. Southeast plains will see at least isolated thunderstorms each day...with temperatures heating back up again through late week with readings approaching 100 across the far eastern plains. With convective cloud cover expected each afternoon...this may serve to keep afternoon temperatures along the I-25 corridor tempered somewhat. Thursday looks like the best shot of hitting 100 degrees at Pueblo. Layer specific humidities really don`t change all that much from day to day over the mountains...so locally heavy rainfall along with some small hail...gusty outflow winds...and lightning will be the primary threats. An upper trof moves across the northern U.S Rockies Friday night...sending a cold front through SE Colorado Friday night into Saturday morning. This will increase chances for afternoon showers and thunderstorms over the weekend for the plains as higher dew points return in easterly upslope flow. Both CAPE and shear increase so we could be dealing with a marginal threat for severe weather on the plains one or both of these days...depending on the magnitude of these parameters. Extended models hint at some drying for early next week. GFS shows more westerly flow which allows layer specific humidities to drop out west across the mountains...though there will still be enough moisture for isolated thunderstorms. ECMWF begins to pump up the upper ridge across the western U.S on Tuesday and sends another front through the southeast plains during the new day 8 period. GFS keeps flow more westerly. Temperatures should get knocked back down into the mid 80s to lower 90s across the plains for the weekend...though suspect they will trend back upwards to above climo early next week per extended model blends. -KT && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1125 AM MDT Tue Jul 19 2016 There could be thunderstorms in the vcnty of the terminal forecast sites this afternoon and evening, with KCOS and KALS having the best chance of this occurring.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. | Mumford & Sons bassist Ted Dwane has a blood clot on his brain that will require surgery.
The Grammy-winning folk-rock group postponed concerts Tuesday in Dallas, Wednesday in The Woodlands in Texas and Thursday in New Orleans. A statement on its website said there are no plans to postpone or cancel any other appearances on the current tour. Mumford & Sons has a headlining gig Saturday at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn.
The statement says Dwane hasn't felt well for a few days and went to the hospital Monday for emergency treatment. Scans revealed the blood clot on the surface of his brain, requiring surgery. The band is being assured that he will recover quickly.

Multisession Workstations
The Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP) has been around for years now, and it gets better with each new release. In the beginning, it was targeted at providing schools with a means to use low-cost computers as Linux terminal clients. It was a huge success; so much so, that LTSP now is included in several Linux distros, such as Edubuntu, as a regular package.
LTSP lets you tailor it to deliver multiple OS desktops to every workstation on the LAN, using just PXE-bootable desktops or thin clients. With this type of setup, users simply have to press Ctrl-Alt-Fn to access different desktops. The following shows an example menu you could present to LTSP users:
Ctrl-Alt-F1: Linux shell.
Ctrl-Alt-F2: Windows desktop for Internet browsing and e-mail.
Ctrl-Alt-F3: Ubuntu with development tools.
Ctrl-Alt-F4: Mac OS for graphics work.
Ctrl-Alt-F5: Remote Citrix access for corporate ERP and CRM.
To set up an environment that supports the above options, the following steps are required:
Set up an LTSP environment.
Install the required client connection tools.
Create scripts to use the client connections.
Configure LTSP files to enable one or several screens to use the new client connection.
The first step is installing the LTSP packages on the Linux distro of your choice. Many recent distro releases have ready-to-install LTSP packages available in their repositories, so you probably can use your favorite package manager out of the box. This way, you should have your LTSP server up and running in a matter of minutes. On Ubuntu use:
$ sudo apt-get install ltsp-server-standalone $ sudo ltsp-build-client
For detailed install instructions for other distros, check the LTSP Web site (see Resources).
For an easy out-of-the-box experience, download and boot from an Ubuntu Alternate CD, press F4, and choose Install an LTSP server (Figure 1).
From there, you install Ubuntu as usual. The only difference is that near the end of the install, you will see a warning about a second Ethernet card (Figure 2).
The error occurs because the installer defaults to using a second Ethernet card dedicated to boot terminals. You may use this setting if you like, but if you already have a DHCP server in your environment, you can use it.
Once you finish the LTSP install, log on to your server and build the LTSP image with the following command:
$ sudo ltsp-build-client
This takes a couple minutes. While it builds, you will see a text progress bar—get used to it, because you will need to rebuild this image several times.
If you are lucky and your DHCP server is a nice Linux box, edit your /etc/dhcpd.conf file to point your network boot options to the LTSP box. Add the following lines, and restart the DHCP service afterward:
option tftp-server-name "mynew.ltsp.server"; option bootfile-name "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
If you're unlucky and you have to set this up with a Windows server, as an administrator, open the DHCP configuration screen and add the configuration options below:
017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386 066 Boot Server Host Name: <LTSP Server ip address> 067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0
In addition, most Linux/BSD-based firewall software appliances, such as pfsense and endianFW, have options for this on their DHCP configuration screens.
If everything goes well, your LTSP environment is ready to boot network clients. Reboot one of your desktops and select network boot. You should see your desktop receive an IP address from your DHCP server, a large stream of dots when the boot image downloads from the TFTP server and then a regular boot splash screen from your distro. Then finally, your LTSP session will start (Figure 3).
You're now about a third of the way there. Next, let's go to the core of multisession setup and start installing the connection tools you'll need to connect to other types of sessions.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

An unorthodox work in every way, Godfrey Reggio's Koyaanisqatsi was nevertheless a sensation when it was released in 1983. The film wordlessly surveys the rapidly changing environments of the northern hemisphere. The director, cinematographer Ron Fricke, and composer Philip Glass created an astonishing collage; the film shuttles the viewer from one jaw-dropping vision to the next, moving from images of untouched nature to others depicting human beings' increasing reliance on technology. Often using hypnotic time-lapse photography, Koyaanisqatsi looks at our world from an angle unlike any other.
Five years after Godfrey Reggio stunned audiences with Koyaanisqatsi, he joined forces again with composer Philip Glass and other collaborators for a second chapter. Here, Reggio turns his sights on third world nations in the southern hemisphere. Forgoing the sped-up aesthetic of the first film, Powaqqatsi employs a meditative slow motion in order to reveal the everyday beauty of the traditional ways of life of native people in Africa, Asia, and South America, and to show how those cultures are being eroded as their environment is gradually taken over by industry. This is the most intensely spiritual segment of Reggio's philosophical and visually remarkable Qatsi Trilogy.
Godfrey Reggio takes on the digital revolution in the final chapter of his Qatsi Trilogy, Naqoyqatsi. With a variety of cinematic techniques, including slow motion, time-lapse, and computer-generated imagery, the film tells of a world that has completely transitioned from a natural environment to a human-made one. Globalization is complete, all of our interactions are technologically mediated, and all images are manipulated. From this (virtual) reality, Reggio sculpts a frenetic yet ruminative cinematic portrait of a world that has become officially postlanguage.

|"Unknown Soldier" #1 on sale this week
Unlike the original comic book incarnation of the Unknown Soldier, writer Joshua Dysart says his update of the war hero will reveal to readers who the title character really is.
First appearing in DC Comicsâ âOur Army At Warâ #168 in June 1966, the publisherâs Vertigo imprint is re-launching the concept this week with âUnknown Soldierâ #1. Written by Dysart and artist Alberto Ponticelli (âSam and Twitchâ), the series will star a new man under the iconic bandages.
Enlisting the 1966 creation of Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert as a flashpoint for foundation, Dysart told CBR News, âOne thing we changed is that for the first time, we know the identity of the Unknown Soldier. The truth of the matter is, Moses doesnât really even know himself, so weâre going a little bit more âmetaâ on the just whatâs âUnknownâ this time around. Plus, you know, the original Unknown Soldier just might still be out thereâ¦.â
The Soldier, face wrapped in protective bandages due to a grenade explosion that killed his brother, enjoyed a long run in his own title until 1982, when he died after killing Adolf Hitler in âThe Unknown Soldierâ #268. Years later, in âSwamp Thingâ #82, it was revealed that the Soldier actually survived World War II, but his continued existence is kept top secret by the U.S. military.
Jim Owsley (later to be known as Christopher Priest) and Garth Ennis both penned series revolving around the character, in the 1980s and 1990s respectively, and all versions will play into Dysartâs new series.
âFrom the Kubert run comes the whole soul of the thing â the core idea,â said Dysart, whoâs also penned âSwamp Thingâ and Hellboy tie-ins. âA single man â loyal to his nation and his people â waging a war, virtually single handily, against a madman.
|"Unknown Soldier" #2
âThere will be less of the Owsley series in it, but a great deal of the Ennis book will emerg -- eventually. Although Iâd like to keep the hows and whys of our connection to the Ennis run pretty close to my chest for now, if only for readers to enjoy it as itâs unfolding.â
While Owsleyâs miniseries was a reimagining of the character as an immortal soldier, the Ennis series follows a CIA agent who tracks down the Soldier as he is seeking his own replacement.
Dysartâs titular Unknown Soldier is once again a re-imagining, but he clarified that by saying, âWhat I mean by that is that we get to re-imagine the Unknown Soldier, his person, his environment, his mission, his entire context, and yet still have it take place in continuity.â
The new Unknown Soldier is an East African man named Lwanga Moses. âHis family fled Uganda in 1979, so Moses grew up in the American immigrant experience and went to medical school,â explained Dysart. âWhile growing up in the States, his home country slipped into ethnic, civil war. By 1985, rebels had overthrown the Ugandan government. The new regime brought a massive shift towards stability in the South. But in the underdeveloped north, the rise of extremist Christian spiritual military leaders began, culminating in the formation of the Lord's Resistance Army, led by a very complex and cruel person named Joseph Kony who claimed to be possessed by spirits.â
The new Vertigo series opens in 2002, when Moses decided to return to Uganda to be a doctor and peace activist. âBy the time Moses is involved, 15,000 children have been kidnapped by rebel forces and forced to fight,â Dysart said. âOver one million displaced Acholis, the tribe in the north most affected by the conflict, have been pushed onto some 200 camps throughout Northern Ugandaâs âAcholiland.â They have no running water and no electricity. There is no more an unknown war than the real-life struggle between the Ugandan Peoples Defense Force and the Lord's Resistance Army.
|"Unknown Soldier" #3-4
âThis has gone on record as being the single longest running, most under-reported humanitarian conflict of our generation. Moses is an Unknown Soldier for an unknown war.â
How and why Moses becomes the new Unknown Solider is what the seriesâ first arc is all about. âItâs also very loosely based on an actual abduction known as the Aboke Girls incident,â explained Dysart. âIt was one of the first western documented abductions in the region â 40 young girls were kidnapped from a Catholic school in the north, which is a common occurrence in the region for some time, we now understand. We only use it as a foundation for our larger narrative though.
âThe first arc will also explore the complex relationship that the Acholi, and most Ugandans, have with Christianity. The British conquered with the bible before they conquered with the gun, so Christianity is a deep, deep part of life in Uganda.â
The first six months of the series are already completed, and Dysart said Ponticelliâs art âlooks gorgeous.â âAlberto is awesome. Heâs been so great about absorbing all the reference and creating an accurate picture of a part of the world that we rarely get to see here in the West, especially in comics. This is a studied exploration of the sub-Sahara bush, the Internally Displaced Persons camps, the towns and cities and Acholi family compounds and he nails it. But also, he never loses his own sense of style. Itâs not just photorealistic. He is accurate, but within his own vision. Itâs just great.
|Classic Unknown Soldier stories are collected in "Showcase Presents The Unknown Soldier"
âAlso, heâs a master of movement and action. His use of squash and stretch to depict momentum and force is amazing. The action sequences in this book are out of control â beautiful. Iâve always been into the perverse poetry of violence and Alberto is a cartoonist troubadour of violence. Iâm so proud to be working with him.â
Beyond the first arc, Dysart said âThe Unknown Soliderâ is planned out until its eventual end. He just doesnât know how long that will take. âThe next story arc, making up the second half of the first year, is carefully mapped. And then, of course, we have all of our long-term goals worked out for the future,â offered Dysart. âThereâs a finite end to it, a culmination point, but how many issues that weâll take, we have no idea. We want the thing to be organic and grow in unexpected directions, so we donât want to tie it down too much. I assume the overall length of the series will be a combination of whatâs right for the story and what the market demands are like.â
Dysart spent a month in Uganda in the summer of 2007 researching the project. It was a time of his life Dysart wonât soon forget. âA great deal of that trip was spent in the âpost-war zoneâ or âcease-fire area.â Or whatever the hell you call a place with an uncertain future and a whole generation of kids trained to be soldiers who now have nothing to do,â said the writer. âI made it as close to the nook where Sudan, DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo) and Uganda meet as I felt comfortable going, so into the far North West of the country â an absolutely beautiful place. But then it is central/east Africa, where all life started. Guess itâs bound to be pretty sexy.
|Also by Joshua Dysart, "B.P.R.D.: 1946" - trade paperback on sale in November
âAnyway, I interviewed Acholi religious leaders, reporters, a Canadian documentary crew, a UPDF (Uganda Peopleâs Defence Force) soldier who had been engaged in the north against the rebels and is now stationed in Iraq â Uganda had 5,000 soldiers in Iraq at the timeâtwo Lordâs Resistance Army soldiers, several college students in the south, micro-financing bankers, non-governmental organizers and employees, countless missionaries, Acholi political leaders from opposing parities, members of Parliament, traditional Acholi musicians as well as several young hip-hop musicians in the south, two nature conservationists, many Acholi teachers and community leaders, a white peace corps teacher who was stationed there from 1962, the year of independence from the British, to 1971, the year Amin took power, and I talked to children in a school for war affected kids plus various Ugandans from all walks of life, classes, ethnic groups, tribes and geographic areas ranging from the South West Bugandan regions to the North Western Acholiland.
âI walked through the slums of Kampala, I went to the IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps in the north, I went out into the bush to see the grass thatched huts the LRA (Lordâs Resistance Army) kids were abducted from, I went to the clinics and the closed schools, as well as the Laroo school for war affected Children, saw the tree of peace that Betty Bigombe planted. Sheâs the Acholi woman who almost halted the conflict in 1990, before President Museveni inexplicably fired her.
âI also went to Severino Lukoyaâs church to see him speak. Thatâs the father of Alice Lakwena who led the Holy Spirit Force against President Yoweri Museveniâs military government in the eighties. I stalked the World Food Programme food drops and spied on the Landmine Action Programme meetings. I even climbed inside the original French airliner that was hijacked and landed in Entebbe in 1976. Theyâve re-painted it in Ugandan colors.
âIâve never traveled like a journalist before, and you know what, it called to me, it really did. I think thereâs something inside of me thatâs hungry for that kind of work.â
Beyond âUnknown Soldier,â Dysart is also working on the graphic novel âGreendale,â based on the 2003 concept album by Neil Young, as well as âBPRD: 1947,â with his co-writer Mike Mignola.
âUnknown Soldierâ #1 with covers by Igor Kordey and Richard Corben, is in stores Wednesday, October 22 from Vertigo.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Legal | The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund joined a coalition of booksellers and other organizations in a federal lawsuit filed on Tuesday to challenge an expansion of Massachusetts' obscenity law to include distribution via the Internet of material "harmful to minors."
The new law, which went into effect on Monday, is intended to close a loophole that led the state Supreme Court to overturn the conviction of a man accused of sending sexually explicit instant messages to someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl. Following the February ruling, the state Legislature swiftly to add IMs, text messages, email and other electronic communications to the existing obscenity law.
But the coalition, which includes the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and the Association of American Publishers, argues that the law is too broad, and "bans constitutionally protected speech on the Internet for topics including contraception and pregnancy, sexual health, literature, and art." Under the statute, violators can be fined $10,000 or sentenced up to five years in prison, or both, which the group asserts will cause "a chilling effect" or online booksellers. [The Associated Press, CBLDF press release]

Courses taught by Marco Cenzatti
05471: Political Economy of Urbanization (SES 0547100)
Urban Planning and Design
Lecture - 4 credits
Monday Wednesday 11:30 - 1:00 Gund - Gropius
Marco Cenzatti
Course Description
Over the last two decades or so, cities have been undergoing a drastic process of restructuring. An ever-growing number of terms-urban villages, edge cities, exopolises, exurbia, etc.-try to capture the new urban form. In other cases the new names attract attention to the changing urban role-post-industrial, post-modern, service, world cities, etc. To further complicate the picture, the analytic tools traditionally used to understand the city are equally being restructured, questioning both mainstream and radical urban explanations. The purpose of this course is to offer a terrain for discussion by tracing the restructuring of both the city and its interpretations. The first half of the course focuses on traditional and Marxist approaches to the city. Within both approaches a further distinction is made between views that privilege economic or social readings of the city. The second half of the course introduces the many changes that restructuring has brought to the city-new functions, spatial organizations and social compositions. It also wants to highlight newly emerging ways of interpreting the city. In parallel to traditional readings of the city ''from above'' (i.e., overarching and all inclusive views) several sessions will be devoted to urban readings derived from personal and empirical experience of the city.

This project will develop several flow cytometer innovations to improve overall efficiency; reduce size, resource requirements, and cost; and, most importantly, permit greater amounts of information to be extracted from each cellular interrogation. Phase I demonstrated the use of modified laser beams to extract complex and previously unattainable spectral information from flow cytometers. A novel collection/detection system was demonstrated that is more efficient, has less components, and is easier to align. In Phase II, the Phase I innovations will be further optimized, tested, and combined into a single advanced prototype. This prototype will be demonstrated with several relevant biochemical models and critically evaluated. A data acquisition system will be designed and built to optimally process the acquired data. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The improved flow cytometers would be used to extract greater amounts of information from complex systems at a reduced cost. Applications are expected in proteomics, drug discovery, clinical research, and biomonitoring, etc.
