C. Everett Koop, surgeon general under Reagan
With his long silver beard and white uniform, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop became one of the most recognizable figures of the Reagan era — and one of the most unexpectedly enduring.
His nomination in 1981 met a wall of opposition from women's groups and liberal politicians, who said President Ronald Reagan selected Dr. Koop, a pediatric surgeon and evangelical Christian from Philadelphia, only because of his conservative views, especially his staunch opposition to abortion.
Soon, though, he was a hero to AIDS activists, who chanted "Koop, Koop" at his appearances but booed other officials. And when he left his post in 1989, he left behind a landscape where AIDS was a top research and educational priority, smoking was considered a public health hazard and access to abortion remained largely intact.
Dr. Koop, who turned his once-obscure post into a bully pulpit for seven years during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations and who surprised both ends of the political spectrum by setting aside his conservative personal views on such issues as homosexuality and abortion to keep his focus sharply medical, died Monday at his home in Hanover, N.H. He was 96.
An assistant at Dr. Koop's Dartmouth College institute, Susan Wills, confirmed his death but did not disclose the cause.
Although the surgeon general has no real authority to set government policy, Dr. Koop described himself as "the health conscience of the country" and said modestly just before leaving his post that "my only influence was through moral suasion."
Dr. Koop shocked his conservative supporters when he endorsed condoms and sex education to stop the spread of AIDS. He carried out a crusade to end smoking in the United States — his goal had been to do so by 2000. A former pipe smoker, he said cigarettes were as addictive as heroin and cocaine.
Even after leaving office, he continued to promote public health causes, from preventing childhood accidents to better training for doctors.
In 1996 he rapped Republican presidential hopeful Bob Dole for suggesting that tobacco is not invariably addictive, saying Dole's comments "either exposed his abysmal lack of knowledge of nicotine addiction or his blind support of the tobacco industry."
Dr. Koop, a devout Presbyterian, was confirmed after he told a Senate panel he would not use the surgeon general's post to promote his religious ideology. He kept his word.

Man Climbs Building With DIY Vacuum Gloves
This is a video of inventor Jem Stansfield climbing the exterior of a BBC building to show off a pair of vacuum gloves he made out of an old vacuum. Amazingly, he gets to the top, but I question how much assistance he got from the rope holder. Also, if those gloves are that strong and made out of a crappy old vacuum, imagine Dyson-powered vacuum gloves. It would suck the paint off a building! And, God willing, I would eat those paint chips.

D.C. to add 134 traffic cameras in 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) - The nation's capital plans to add 134 traffic cameras next year to its already extensive network of devices that generate tickets for speeding and running red lights.
The Washington Examiner reports that the new cameras will more than double the size of the traffic-camera program in the District of Columbia.
Traffic cameras generated a record $85 million in revenue during the last fiscal year. The D.C. Council recently voted to reduce some fines for motorists caught on camera.
Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice Paul Quander says the cameras are saving lives because they force people to slow down. District officials say traffic fatalities dropped from 72 in 2001 to 32 in 2011.
But detractors say the cameras are driven more by revenue than public safety.

EDMONTON - The Redford government is breathing life into the long dormant Alberta Health Act, promising Monday to put the legislation into effect, create two new advocate positions, and entrench a health charter for the province early in the new year.
While opposition parties dismissed the announcement as little more than a public relations exercise, Health Minister Fred Horne characterized the act as "landmark" legislation that positions Alberta as a leader in Canada.
"It is, in fact, the first time a province in Confederation has attempted to define what it stands for in terms of public health care," he told a news conference at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital.
"We pay a lot of lip service in this country to patient-centred care, and I don't mean to downplay the importance of the term, but I have yet to see any jurisdiction really back this up by dedicating legislation to the cause."
The act's main purpose is to establish a set of principles to guide the direction of the health system, including a commitment to adhere to the Canada Health Act. It was passed by the legislature back on Dec. 1, 2010 under then-premier Ed Stelmach, but hasn't been proclaimed largely because of the government's lack of progress on two of the act's major requirements: creating a health charter and health advocate.
Asked about the long delay, Premier Alison Redford said her government wanted to give Horne enough time to "make sure the systems were in place so that we could deal with this effectively."
She said the time is now right to put the act into force as Alberta's growing population and the speed of innovation has made the health system increasingly complicated.
"Albertans, as a result, will require extra help to access this system ... and that's exactly what the Alberta Health Act delivers."
Opposition parties had a more cynical take, characterizing the legislation as a largely toothless document that offers no real benefit to patients. NDP MLA David Eggen said it was originally passed by a Stelmach government that needed to show it was dealing with a crisis in health care, and is now being used again by Redford as a public relations stunt ahead of her party's leadership review later this week.
"The act is a lot of words, a lot of fluff, a lot of promises, but no concrete delivery methods for care," added Liberal Leader Raj Sherman, who was part of the Tory caucus when the act was being conceived. "You have to question why it has taken three years."
Horne said Jan. 1 will be the official proclamation date of the act.
A draft version of the health charter, which sets out the expectations of the health system and defines responsibilities, will be unveiled around the same time and consultations will be held to fine-tune the details, he said.
There will also be consultations on the role of the yet-to-be-named health advocate, who will begin work in January and will be expected to have the office fully up and running by April 1. The government envisions the position will be focused on "assisting Albertans in navigating the health system," though the advocate will also be responsible for receiving and referring complaints, requesting investigations, and overseeing compliance with the health charter, Horne said.
In April, the government will appoint a seniors advocate, fulfilling one of the Redford's promises from the 2012 provincial election. That role will have similar powers as the health advocate, but can also look into the safety of care facilities.
Both new advocates will be housed in the same office as the mental health patient advocate to create a streamlined suite of services, Horne said.
Irene Martin, executive director of the Alberta Senior Citizens' Housing Association, said she was pleased with the news of a new seniors advocate, though the appointee will have a big job ahead to understand all of the services that need to be in place.
Wildrose MLA Kerry Towle called on the province to make the advocates independent, rather than responsible to the minister.
Eggen called for wait-time targets to be enshrined in the charter to ensure Albertans can truly expect timely access to care.

Toledo Worker, Brandon Stuard, Buys Billboard, 'Please Hire My Wife'
Brandon Stuard decided to do something dramatic after watching his wife of eight years grow increasingly frustrated with her job search, reports Fox Toledo. Holly Stuard's position as MBA program manager at the University of Toledo was eliminated a year ago due to budget cuts, and since then she's been wiling away her days on LinkedIn and Indeed.com, monitoring job alerts at her favorite organizations, and crafting and recrafting her resume. Sometimes she scored a second and even a final round interview, but never a job offer.
So Stuard, a deputy sheriff, secretly turned his wife's resume into two billboards for a week. The venture cost around $700, but he says that he suspects the two companies that he worked with gave him a little bit of a discount. Holly Stuard's face now hangs above downtown Toledo and the West Toledo neighborhood, along with a summary of her credentials -- MBA, business experience, academic experience -- a contact email address, and the phrase, "a great fit."
Holly Stuard knew nothing about it until her husband drove her across town for dinner at their favorite Mexican restaurant, a route that passed right by the billboard of her face.
"At first I was a little embarrassed. That's more attention than I normally draw to myself," Stuard told AOL Jobs. "But when it really sunk in, I thought it was creative and thoughtful, and he was trying to help me."
More: 10 Cities That Lost The Most Jobs
Stuard says that her husband loves to surprise her, but that this "is on a whole new level."
Stuard's dream is to lead the training and development for an organization, and help it maximize the potential of its employees. Most of the messages so far to the email@example.com email address have been well-wishing strangers, but a few have sent along tips of a company that's hiring. No concrete leads yet, though.
Job-seeker billboards have found success in the past, however. In May, 23-year-old Bennett Olson splashed his smile on a billboard in downtown Minneapolis with the entreaty, "Hire Me!" and was soon hired by a 3-D scanning company. And senior manager Mark Heuer blew up his face on a highway billboard near Milwaukee, Wis., in 2009, urging passers-by to visit his website Mark4Hire.com. The response from companies, he said, was "overwhelming."
The difference with Brandon Stuard's ploy is that it isn't for himself. It's a husband, tired of helplessly sitting by as his wife struggled. "It's been really frustrating for me, watching her be frustrated," he told AOL Jobs. And while a job offer might not come out of it, "if it puts a smile on her face, it's good enough for me."

Uhhhh... excuse me?
A convicted killer named Dana Martin was planning to kill Justin Bieber and the Biebs' bodyguard by strangling them "with paisley ties" and castrating them. Martin, who reportedly has a Bieber tattoo on his leg (RED FLAG), had contracted a former inmate and his nephew to carry out the assassination attempt.
Details from GossipCop.com:
Investigators say convicted killer Dana Martin, who is described as "obsessed" with Bieber, recruited a former inmate named Mark Staake and his nephew Tanner Ruane to carry out four murders, including a hit on the pop star and his bodyguard last month.
Martin, who's in prison for raping and killing a teenage girl in 2000, allegedly directed Staake and Ruane to murder two acquaintances in Vermont before heading to New York to kill Bieber. According to the plan, Staake and Ruane were to strangle their would-be victims with paisley ties and castrate them.
The shocking plot unraveled after Staake was arrested on outstanding warrants in Vermont. Ruane was busted in New York with "murder tools and pruning shears."
In phone conversations recorded by police, Ruane is said to have expressed disappointment that he was unable to fulfill the murder plot.
Like... whoa. Not cool.

I've come across something I haven't seen and hoping someone can help. Here is part of the pattern and what I don't understand is the "+" in row #3:

Also see Chart.
Row 1: K2, *k2tog, k1, yo, k1, yo, k1, ssk, k1; rep from * across to last st, k1.
Row 2 and all WS rows: Purl.
Row 3: K1, k2tog, *k1, yo, k3, yo, k1 +, dcd; rep from * across to last 3 sts,
ending last rep at +, ssk, k1.
Can someone let me know what this means?
The free pattern link is:
Here's what the pattern says for Row 3: Row 3: K1, k2tog, *k1, yo, k3, yo, k1 +, dcd; rep from * across to last 3 sts, ending last rep at +, ssk, k1
Note that at the end of the instructions for this row it says "ending last rep at +" so the portion that is yo, k3, yo, k1 + the plus symbol is being used as the marker of where you end the last time you repeat this section of instructions.

The Pearl
by John SteinbeckFrom the book jacket: In this short book illuminated by a deep understanding and love of humanity, John Steinbeck retells an old Mexican folk tale: the story of the great pearl, how it was found, and how it was lost. For the diver Kino, finding a magnificent pearl means the promise of a better life for his impoverished family. His dream blinds him to the greed and suspicions the pearl arouses in him and his neighbors, and even his loving wife cannot temper his obsession or stem the events leading to the tragedy. For Steinbeck, Kino and his wife illustrate the fall from innocence of people who believe that wealth erases all problems. Originally published in 1947, The Pearl shows why Steinbeck's style has made him one of the most beloved American writers: it is a simple story of simple people, recounted with the warmth and sincerity and unrivaled craftsmanship Steinbeck brings to his writing. It is tragedy in the great tradition, beautifully conveying not despair but hope for mankind.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
by Susanna ClarkeEnglish magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory. But at Hurtfew Abbey in Yorkshire, the rich, reclusive Mr Norrell has assembled a wonderful library of lost and forgotten books from England's magical past and regained some of the powers of England's magicians. He goes to London and raises a beautiful young woman from the dead. Soon he is lending his help to the government in the war against Napoleon Bonaparte, creating ghostly fleets of rain-ships to confuse and alarm the French. All goes well until a rival magician appears. Jonathan Strange is handsome, charming, and talkative - the very opposite of Mr Norrell. Strange thinks nothing of enduring the rigors of campaigning with Wellington's army and doing magic on battlefields. Astonished to find another practicing magician, Mr Norrell accepts Strange as a pupil. But it soon becomes clear that their ideas of what English magic ought to be are very different. For Mr Norrell, their power is something to be cautiously controlled, while Jonathan Strange will always be attracted to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic. He becomes fascinated by the ancient, shadowy figure of the Raven King, a child taken by fairies who became king of both England and Faerie, and the most legendary magician of all. Eventually Strange's heedless pursuit of long-forgotten magic threatens to destroy not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything that he holds dear. Sophisticated, witty, and ingeniously convincing, Susanna Clarke's magisterial novel weaves magic into a flawlessly detailed vision of historical England. She has created a world so thoroughly enchanting that eight hundred pages leave readers longing for more.

Tay is a clone, one of only five in the world, and her clone mother is Pam Taylor, a brilliant scientist. When rebels attack the reserve, Tay escapes with her younger brother and Uncle, an exceptionally intelligent orangutan. As they flee through the jungle, Tay must look within to find her strength: Pam's DNA, tempered by Taylor's extraordinary life. And she looks to Uncle for guidance-- for Tay knows that the uncanny bond between Uncle and herself is the key to their survival. "From the Hardcover edition. "

by Elie Wiesel Stella RodwayWhen Elie Wiesel was liberated from Buchenwald in 1945, having also been in Birkenau, Auschwitz, and Buna, he imposed a ten-year vow of silence upon himself before trying to describe what had happened to him and over six million other Jews.

He dares not succumb to her sensuous charms, for Stryder is a man sworn to know no love.

by Jonathan KellermanAfter thirty-five riveting, internationally acclaimed novels of psychological suspense, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Kellerman returns with his most stunning thriller to date. Killer is a mesmerizing L.A. noir portrayal of the darkest impulses of human nature carried to shocking extremes. The City of Angels has more than its share of psychopaths, and no one recognizes that more acutely than the brilliant psychologist and police consultant Dr. Alex Delaware. Despite that, Constance Sykes, a sophisticated, successful physician, hardly seems like someone Alex needs to fear. Then, at the behest of the court, he becomes embroiled in a bizarre child custody dispute initiated by Connie against her sister and begins to realize that there is much about the siblings he has failed to comprehend. And when the court battle between the Sykes sisters erupts into cold, calculating murder and a rapidly growing number of victims, Alex knows he's been snared in a toxic web of pathology. Nothing would please Alex more than to be free of the ugly spectacle known as Sykes v. Sykes. But then the little girl at the center of the vicious dispute disappears and Alex knows he must work with longtime friend Detective Milo Sturgis, braving an obstacle course of Hollywood washouts, gangbangers, and self-serving jurists in order to save an innocent life. Killer is Kellerman--and Delaware--at their finest.Praise for Jonathan Kellerman "Jonathan Kellerman has justly earned his reputation as a master of the psychological thriller."--People "Kellerman really knows how to keep those pages turning."--The New York Times Book ReviewFrom the Hardcover edition.

I have been posting on Versature's blog, conVERSAtion, as most of that content is better suited to it. A few recent posts of mine:

Automated Releases with Maven and Google App Engine
Versature has been building our applications using Java and deploying them on Google App Engine for some time. It has been a very effective solution for us.
Recently, I wanted to improve our release process by making it more formal and automated. After the usual battle with Maven, I managed to win.
Our current build automates the following:
- Remove the trailing
from the version number in the POM - Tag the release in Subversion
- Filter the
to contain the version number - Build and deploy to GAE
- Increment version number in the POM and add the trailing
All of the above is achieved with two Maven commands: release:prepare
and release:perform
Here is the POM with most of the irrelevant parts removed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <version>0-9-0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>war</packaging> <name>Versature Dashboard</name> <scm> <connection>scm:svn:https://REMOVED/trunk</connection> </scm> <repositories> <repository> <id>google-maven-repo</id> <name>Maven Google App Engine Repository</name> <url>http://maven-gae-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/repository/</url> </repository> <repository> <id>codehaus</id> <name>codehaus</name> <url>http://repository.codehaus.org/org/codehaus/groovy/</url> </repository> </repositories> <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>maven-gae-plugin-repo</id> <name>Maven Google App Engine Repository</name> <url>http://maven-gae-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/repository/</url> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> <dependencies> REMOVED </dependencies> <build> <testOutputDirectory>target/test-classes</testOutputDirectory> <outputDirectory>${webappDirectory}/WEB-INF/classes</outputDirectory> <testSourceDirectory>src/test/java</testSourceDirectory> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1.1</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>exploded</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> <webResources> <resource> <directory>src/main/webapp</directory> <filtering>true</filtering> <includes> <include>**/appengine-web.xml</include> </includes> </resource> </webResources> <webappDirectory>${webappDirectory}</webappDirectory> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>${gwt-plugin.version}</version> <configuration> <logLevel>INFO</logLevel> <port>${gae.port}</port> <server>com.google.appengine.tools.development.gwt.AppEngineLauncher</server> <runTarget>/REMOVED</runTarget> <style>OBF</style> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <configuration> <extraJvmArgs>-Xmx1024m -Xms512m</extraJvmArgs> <module>com.versature.dashboard.Dashboard</module> </configuration> <goals> <goal>compile</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>net.kindleit</groupId> <artifactId>maven-gae-plugin</artifactId> <version>0.9.2</version> <configuration> <unpackVersion>${gae.version}</unpackVersion> <serverId>appengine.google.com</serverId> </configuration> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>net.kindleit</groupId> <artifactId>gae-runtime</artifactId> <version>${gae.version}</version> <type>pom</type> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.2.2</version> <configuration> <scmCommentPrefix>[RELEASE] </scmCommentPrefix> <goals>gae:deploy</goals> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven</groupId> <artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId> <version>${gmaven.version}</version> <executions> <execution> <id>sources</id> <goals> <goal>generateStubs</goal> <goal>compile</goal> <goal>generateTestStubs</goal> <goal>testCompile</goal> </goals> </execution> <execution> <id>properties</id> <phase>validate</phase> <goals> <goal>execute</goal> </goals> <configuration> <source> project.properties["gae-application.version"] = project.version.toLowerCase() </source> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <!-- Specify hard-coded project properties here --> <properties> <gmaven.version>1.3</gmaven.version> <gae.version>184.108.40.206</gae.version> <gae.port>9090</gae.port> <webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}</webappDirectory> </properties> <profiles> <profile> <id>release-build</id> <activation> <property> <name>performRelease</name> <value>true</value> </property> </activation> <properties> <gwt.style>OBF</gwt.style> </properties> </profile> </profiles> <groupId>com.versature.dashboard</groupId> <artifactId>dashboard</artifactId> </project> |
If you run into an error similar to this one:
com.google.appengine.tools.admin.AdminException: Unable to update app: Error posting to URL: https://appengine.google.com/api/appversion/create?app_id=versature-dashboardhr&version=0-8-1-SNAPSHOT& 400 Bad Request Error when loading application configuration: Unable to assign value '0-8-1-SNAPSHOT' to attribute 'version': Value '0-8-1-SNAPSHOT' for version does not match expression '^(?!-)[a-z\d-]{1,100}$'
It is because GAE only accepts lowercase letters, digits and hyphens in version names. (Because those version names become URLs.) I solved this by using a snippet of Groovy (Using the GMaven plugin.) code to automatically create a property with all lowercase letters before filtering it into the appengine-web.xml
. So version 0-8-0-SNAPSHOT
becomes 0-8-0-snapshot
1 | project.properties["gae-application.version"] = project.version.toLowerCase() |
And that's it, it Just Works™. Gotta love Maven!

I believe that Mr. Rockwood is correct in his appraisal that we should all start using the term pass phrase.

Google App Engine's Python Exception Syntax
Remember, Python 2.5 has this exception syntax:
try: raise FooException("Darn!") except FooException, e print("Error: %s" % e)The newer syntax is:
try: raise FooException("Darn!") except FooException as e print("Error: %s" % e)I ran into this when uploading an application to Google App Engine, which then produced this cryptic error:
<type 'exceptions.SyntaxError'>: invalid syntax (main.py, line 64)Where line 64 is the line containing the not-yet-implemented as keyword.

Rands In Repose: Lost in Translation
As always, Rands has something interesting to say about becoming a manager for the first time:
Your confidence is going to be artificially high. This new job, hobby, or sport is going to appear magically easy. You're going to feel gifted. Those watching your miraculous aptitude keep saying, "beginner's luck", but that's neither what you're hearing nor what they're saying. What you're hearing them say is, "We are jealous that you are gifted at this thing you totally don't understand", but what they're actually saying is, "We understand it's intoxicating to instantly feel like an expert and we will most certainly bite our tongues when you painfully discover how much you have to learn."

It is quite important to avoid the classic NiMH batteries as they show poor performance in cold temperatures and discharge extremely quickly while sitting in your pack waiting. "Low Discharge" or "LSD" NiMH batteries are a much better investment in my experience.
Re: Light Sources?
I recently received this question by email:
What headlamp and flashlights do you use? I noticed when we were in (…) that your lights were far superior to anything anyone else had.
So here are my current lights and some thoughts on where to go next.
I have two headlamps…
Petzl MYO RXP (Primary)
This is a programmable regulated version of the MYO XP. (I believe it is slightly brighter than the XP.) Although the "programmable" seems pretty useless at first, it allows you to program the lowest setting to be the first click–usually it is the last. Key feature: AA batteries.
Petzl Tikka (Secondary)
This is "secondary" as in I don't even carry spare batteries (AAA) for it. It really only gets used if I'm needing a reading light while in command. It has a built-in red filter.
I also have two flashlights… both are very bright, the difference is mostly in the colour of the light.
Fenix TK20
This is a very cool looking light that has a very warm yellow light, which apparently is better for finding evidence. It is also very narrow beam, which allows it to throw light extremely far. 2 AA batteries.
EagleTac P10A2
This one has a wider beam and is the classic LED bright white colour.
What Next
Also, if you were going to replace them…is there better out there that you know of?
Petzl has one called ULTRA which is insanely bright but is probably way too expensive and uses a proprietary battery pack.
EagleTac has a new light, the P20A2. It is a touch brighter than the P10A2. According to the website, both the P10A2 and the P20A2 are available with a "Neutral White" LED. You might like that better.
You can usually find these on eBay or elsewhere on the 'net.
For the next time I have extra money burning a hole in my pocket, I want to get a bigger searchlight, something like the Fenix TK40.
Update: see my other post for how to power these toys.
Swim, Boy!
Just for fun, here is my little dog going for a swim to lighten things up:

BUCHAREST, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Romania sold a planned 150 million euros ($202.75 million) worth of three-year treasury bonds on Thursday, at an yield of 2.48 percent, central bank data showed.
Debt managers last sold three-year euro-denominated paper on the domestic market on July 18, at an yield of 2.75 percent. On Thursday, bids totalled roughly 512 million euros.
So far this year, Romania has sold just under 38 billion lei in bonds and bills on the domestic market. Including today's tender, it sold roughly 1.6 billion euros domestically, and has tapped foreign markets twice.
Also on Thursday, it sold a planned 1 billion lei in three-year treasury bonds. ($1 = 0.7398 euros)

Revenge can indeed be sweet... When her brother's car plunges off a cliff with him and his fiancee in it, Amanda Davies gets the news personally from the fiancee's brother. The devastatingly handsome Italian businessman appears in Atlanta and whisks Amanda off to Italy to be with the hospitalized couple. But could his motive be more sinister? Nicholas de Frenza never approved of his sister's choice in husband to begin with, and now that Carita is in a coma due to her fiance's reckless driving, it seems the perfect time to resurrect an ancient Italian custom of revenge: the seduction calls for a similar seduction in return, a sister for a sister. But Nico is too civilized for such vengeance -- or is he? Even as Amanda falls for the Tuscan's charms, she knows his code and his family would never approve of her as more than a simple dalliance. But then the secret about the car wreck comes out -- and that's when everything changes... |
The Tuscan's Revenge Wedding is Book 1 of Jennifer's Italian Billionaire series published by Steel Magnolia Press, November 2012. Look for Book 2 in spring 2013 and Book 3 in fall 2013.

Supplemental Endorsements
The department offers these Supplemental Endorsements for students wishing to specialize and make themselves more marketable upon graduation. Students should realize that these are Supplemental Endorsements, and therefore students must pair them with either a Teaching Field Endorsement, or two Teaching Subject Endorsements in order to graduate. Any Teaching Endorsements offered at UNK are accepatable except in the case of the Adaptive Physical Education Endorsement, which must be paired with a Physical Education Teaching Endorsement.
When an individual graduates with these Supplemental Endorsemens, they give themselves an edge when looking for teaching positions. Often the ability to coach or serve as an adaptaive specialist is the reason our students are selected over other applicants.
Adapted Physical Education Supplemental Endorsement For students wishing to work with K-12 Physical Education students with disabilities. The Adaptive Specialist's role is undergoing some exciting changes in many schools. Currently, many Specialists are employed by school districts to serve as Consultants to the regular Physical Educators throughout the district.
Interscholastic Coaching Supplemental Endorsement Designed to prepare future teachers as coaches for school sponsored athletic teams. Currently, coaches are in high demand across the country. This Endorsement will give the future teacher/coach an edge on both the athletic field, and in their jobs.
Students who complete two Teaching Subect Endorsements or one Teaching Field Endorsement may complete one or more Supplemental Endorsement.

What is Vitacost Carotene Complex?
Vitacost Carotene Complex is an advanced carotenoid nutrition complex that derives its healthful benefits from carrot juice, lemon grass and spirulina. It includes beneficial amounts of carotenes, including lutein, zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene, beta carotene and cryptoxanthins.
Carotenoids are fat-soluble pigments found in plants. Algae, many fungi and bacteria, as well as higher plant life have the ability to produce carotenoids. Carotene refers to carotenoids that contain only carbon and hydrogen such as alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and lycopene.
Alpha-carotene and beta-carotene (which converts to vitamin A in the body) are responsible for the color of carrots. Beta-carotene is also found in pumpkins, mangoes, apricots, spinach and parsley. Dunaliella salina, a unicellular green algae, is another natural source of beta-carotene.
Xanthophylls are carotenoids that contain hydroxyl groups such as lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-cryptoxanthin, or keto groups such as canthaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin are plant pigments found in spinach, collard greens, kale and mustard greens. Cryptoxanthins are derived from pumpkins and mangoes, as well as red capsicum.
