Skin harbors our largest reservoirs of stem cells. To maintain the body barrier, epidermis constantly self-renews and hair follicles undergo cyclical bouts of activity. Both stem cell compartments participate in repairing tissue damage after injury. Dr. Fuchs studies where adult stem cells come from, how they make tissues, how they repair wounds and how stem cells malfunction in cancers. Her group focuses on the mechanisms that impart skin stem cells with the ability to self-renew, develop and maintain tissues, and on how these cells respond to external cues and depart from their niche to accomplish these tasks.
Skin stem cells have the remarkable capacity to self-renew in culture. Dr. Fuchs's laboratory couples in vitro studies with transgenic, gene knockout and short hairpin RNA technologies in mice and high throughput genomic analyses to unravel the molecular pathways that determine the normal balance between stem cell maintenance and differentiation, and how this goes awry in cancers. They are learning how embryonic and adult stem cells establish unique programs of gene expression that determine when they divide and what types of cells they develop into. Recent work in the Fuchs lab has shown that a structure at the base of each strand of hair, the hair follicle, uses mesenchymal-epithelial interactions to acquire a threshold of activating signals that instruct stem cells to divide during periods of hair growth. After the regeneration period, differentiated cells along the lineage return back to the niche. They bring inhibitory signals that tell the stem cells that the hair cycle is complete, so that they return to quiescence. These mechanisms provide new insights into how stem cells become activated to repair tissue upon injury and how they know when to quit once the wound is repaired. The work is accelerating the development of therapeutics to enhance wound repair.
Dr. Fuchs's lab is also trying to understand how stem cells differentiate into hair follicles, skin epidermis and sweat glands. They have shown that different positive and negative signaling pathways need to be turned on and off at the right time and at the right place for adult skin stem cells to know what type of tissue to make. These signaling pathways control distinct transcription factors and epigenetic modifications, as well as posttranscripitonal alterations in microRNAs, that change the program of gene expression necessary to develop each skin tissue. Dr. Fuchs's studies reveal new insights into why stem cells become more limited in their tissue options during development.
Dr. Fuchs's studies also reveal that cancer cells hijack the normal mechanisms that enable stem cells to transition from quiescence to active tissue generation. Moreover, stem cells that frequently become activated, such as those of hair or epidermis, are much more susceptible to cancer than stem cells that rarely do, such as those of sweat glands. Her group has recently isolated and characterized the cells responsible for squamous cell carcinomas, among the most common and life-threatening of human cancers worldwide. They have found that these so-called "cancer stem cells" have many features that distinguish them from normal epithelial stem cells. They are currently using high throughput genomics and genetics to identify the key alterations responsible for tumor growth, information that might be exploited in the future for new cancer therapeutics. A final focus of the group is to uncover how changes in protein expression govern the packing of skin cells into different tissues and how this differs in cancer. How is the cytoskeleton polarized to orient the mitotic spindle? How do the cells reorient their cytoskeleton in response to injury so that the cells can migrate into the wound site? How can cells adhere to one another and yet dynamically turn over the skin epithelium to generate a brand new epidermis and regrow hairs? As the group probes the workings of stem cells, they hope to better understand the process of wound repair, as well as tumor progression and metastasis.
Dr. Fuchs received her B.S. in chemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 1972 and her Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1977 from Princeton University. She was a postdoc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1977 to 1980. Dr. Fuchs was the Amgen Professor of Basic Sciences at the University of Chicago before coming to Rockefeller in 2002. She has been a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator since 1988.
Dr. Fuchs has received the 2013 Pasarow Award in Cancer Research, 2013 American Skin Association Lifetime Achievement Award, 2012 March of Dimes Prize in Developmental Biology, 2012 NY Academy of Medicine Biomedical Research Award, 2011 Albany Medical Center Prize in Medicine and Biomedical Research, 2011 Passano Prize, 2011 Madison Medal, 2010 L'OreÅLal-UNESCO Award in the Life Sciences, 2010 Charlotte Friend Award, 2009 National Medal of Science, 2006 Bering Award, 2006 Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Award for Scientific Excellence, 2004 Dickson Prize in Medicine, 2002 Novartis/Drew Award in Biomedical Research, 2002 Cartwright Award from Columbia University and 1997 Women in Cell Biology Senior Women's Career Achievement Award.

I am developing video app...after i download my video in mobile...if i click back button or anything in my app its showing error https://jscallback/186382.... like that please anyone help me
Hi manikandan12, will you be able to be more specific? Sample codes? Debug errors? Are you porting?
In my app once i download and come back to my app...am loading my data using ajax .... but ajax not working properly...can anyone please tell how to fix....
<button onclick="download(myvideourl)">Download</button>
function download(myvideourl)
//after i download now i want to redirect to another dynamice page
EDIT: merged your threads, and saw the original issue, now I think it is even more likely that the Web App execution is interrupted.
thanks to reply...yes its not getting invoke....can u please tell how to fix that ...after i download i need to continue my app without interrupt...please help me
Okay, the way you try to do it, it will not work. But there is a pretty simple workaround.
Instead of trying to automatically call the function after the download, you do the following:
As soon as the user has completed the download and returns to the app, he is presented with an view where he has to click DONE. This onclick hides the view and calls the afterDownload-Function.Code:
 <button onclick="mwl.show('#view-DownloadDone'); mwl.loadURL('myvideourl');">Download</button>

 <button onclick="mwl.hide('#view-DownloadDone'); afterDownload();">Done</button>

Hi lorion84 ,
Thanks to reply... afterDownload() function working but ajax not invoked any data....after i download only am getting this problem...please help me
That is strange. How do you do the AJAX call? Where do you test it?
Can you upload a test case?
It is working for me in the JAVA Emulator (501) and on my Asha 311.
Hi lorion84,
For me also working in emulator...but in mobile creating problem
If you don't give us something to work with, we can't help you!
Please reduce your app as much as possible (so that basically only the error is left) and upload it somewhere.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohioans are ringing in the new year as more winter weather makes traveling conditions slick for partygoers around the state.
The National Weather Service said Monday the start of 2013 would bring a freezing drizzle and snow in the southwest part of the state. A bit more snow accumulation was expected to reduce visibility for some drivers in central and in northeast Ohio, where up to 4 inches was forecast by New Year's Day.
Some areas already had as much as a foot of snow from winter storms last week.
Temperatures were hovering around the freezing point.
Most of Ohio's ski slopes and sledding hills are up and running after last week's heavy snow. Some areas got more last week than during all of last year's mild winter.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – PPD is on track to receive almost all of its first incentive payment from New Hanover County and the City of Wilmington even though it didn't hire as many people as anticipated. The company's higher-than-expected investment made up for its jobs shortfall based on the way the contract was structured.
The city and the county agreed in 2005 to award PPD $2.1 million in a series of payments starting this year in exchange for the company constructing its world headquarters in downtown Wilmington. The incentives contract includes benchmarks for jobs and direct investment, which includes costs to buy the land and construct and equip the facility.
The research company was expected to create at least 1,857 local jobs by this year, but it actually hired 1,484 people, according to a letter from Wilmington Business Development to the city and county managers.
The letter said PPD invested $110.4 million, far exceeding the $80 million minimum required by the incentives contract.
Using a calculation outlined in the contract, the city and county determined that they owe the company 97.25 percent of the first agreed-upon payment.
County Manager Chris Coudriet said he will issue the $291,750 payment unless PPD challenges the county's calculations.
The city didn't budget for the incentive payment this year. Council is expected to decide next week if it wants to draw from reserves to pay the $121,562.50 payment, according to City Spokeswoman Malissa Talbert.
"We are proud of the tangible successes generated by our public-private partnership," said David Simmons, chairman and CEO of PPD. "We have increased PPD's Wilmington-based employment by nearly 500 people and invested more than $110 million in downtown. In partnership with city and county leaders, we have helped revitalize downtown, reclaimed a previously contaminated industrial site on the Cape Fear River and solidified our headquarters base in Wilmington for our global operations. We believe these outcomes are a win for our company and a win for our community."

It seems to be the year of the mother-daughter mystery. I'm not talking about cozy mother-daughter sleuthing teams, solving crimes amid witty banter and little squabbles. No, these ladies are about as trustworthy as any Gone Girl character, and it's rare the reader knows what they've got up their sleeves.
It's the multigenerational bad girls club, and it's easily this year's hottest mystery trend.
Mind of Winter by Laura Kasischke
Paranoia reaches new heights in this psychological thriller. Holly Judge wakes up on Christmas morning, suddenly convinced that there's something very wrong with her adopted teenage daughter. "Something followed them home Siberia," she thinks, and starts ticking off all the disturbing evidence. An obsessive and twisted tale where reality threatens to slip away. Read an excerpt.
I Love You More by Jennifer Murphy
Oliver Lane's murder looks like a simple case of a woman scorned—in this case, his wife, Diana. But investigators soon discover Oliver had two more families as well. So who really killed Oliver? Multiple points of view keep this thrilling mystery from every giving too much away. The most interesting POV comes from Oliver's daughter Picasso, who has seen plenty. Watch out for these ladies, and whatever you do, don't cross them. Read our review.
Don't Try to Find Me by Holly Brown
It's not initially clear who the victim of Brown's debut is. After 14-year-old Marley runs away from home, her mother launches a public campaign for her return. But people are fickle, and soon Marley's mom finds herself the target of public scrutiny. Why did Marley leave? Who is to blame? Secrets upon secrets. Read our review.
Dear Daughter by Elizabeth Little
This book's victim is pretty black-and-white, as Janie Jenkins was incarcerated 10 years ago for the murder of her mother. She's just been released from prison on a technicality—but she's also innocent and in need of some answers. Debut author Little has a great voice, and I wish her unapologetic heroine was my best friend. Look for a review in our August issue.
The Good Girl by Mary Kubica
This is another high-intensity thriller than unfolds through multiple points of view, but I can promise you'll never see this ending coming. The story jumps between events before and after Mia Dennett's abduction, when she was held in a cabin in the woods by a guy whose motivations don't quite make sense. Mia's mom is in on the investigation, and that's all I'm going to say about it. Look for a Q&A in our August issue.
Are you set for vacation reading this summer? If not, we're here to help! Follow the flowchart below to your ultimate summer read. Click on the graphic for an interactive version that will lead you more information about each book, or download it here.
What are you reading this summer?
It starts with one teenage girl—the severe tics, the twitching. Then it spreads to another, then another, then another. Is it a virus? Anxiety? Are the girls faking it? Soon, a dozen or more girls are twitching, and mass hysteria has an entire town in a panic.
I could be talking about the notorious Salem Witch Trials, the girls in LeRoy, New York, in 2012—or the two novels coming out this summer, one for adults and one for teen readers. Both novels were sparked by the mass hysteria in 2012 and tell the same general story—with some key differences. Both blend the thrills of a plague narrative with the psychological tension of paranoia and guilt.
We'll never forget how Megan Abbott addressed the cunning powerplays and precarious hierarchies of high-school girl world in her dark and twisted novel, Dare Me. In her next adult novel, The Fever, coming June 17 from Little, Brown, teenage girls fall one by one to unexplained seizures, sending the town into chaos. There's something distinctly sexual about the girls' twitching, and Abbott's dreamlike prose gives these events a haunting, disturbing quality.
YA novel Conversion by Katherine Howe, coming July 1 from Putnam, heads in a more supernatural direction and makes the satisfying connection between past and present twitching. Howe is a direct descendent of two of the women accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials, which has inspired her before. Conversion moves between Salem Village in 1706 and an all-girl's high school in Danvers, Massachusetts, in 2012. When girls start twitching and people start panicking, a parallel is drawn: Danvers was once Salem Village.
It seems the mass hysteria narrative is catching. I suspect we will see several more novels featuring twitchy girls before the end of the year.
Though William Shakespeare's exact date of birth went unrecorded, it's typically observed on April 23, the day he died on 52 years later—a neat piece of symmetry for such a literary life.
In the years since, the scant biographical facts available about the poet have combined with his singular status to ignite countless imaginations. This spring brings three additions to the lengthy list of Shakespearean tomes.
How did the son of a glovemaker rise to the heights of literary fame? This question has engendered many hypothetical answers over the years—including the well-known assertion that Shakespeare did not, in fact, write the plays he is credited with. Historical novelist Jude Morgan comes up with his own Bardic backstory in The Secret Life of William Shakespeare (St. Martin's), which opens in 1582, shortly before Shakespeare meets his wife-to-be Ann Hathaway. Morgan's Shakespeare adores his father and has a close relationship with his sister, Joan. He also feels a genuine passion for Ann, one that competes with his calling as a poet.
In Dark Aemilia (Picador), we move from investigating the source of Shakespeare's genius to unveiling the inspiration for the "Dark Lady" of his sonnets, the mistress whose "hair is nothing like the sun." Author Sally O'Reilly posits that the woman in question is a real-life contemporary, Aemilia Lanier—the fourth woman to ever publish a book of poetry in English. Lanier's biography is as sketchy as Shakespeare's own, leaving O'Reilly plenty of room to weave in a tumultuous romance with fellow poet Will while he's out and about on the London theater scene.
Finally, for those who don't take their Shakespeare too seriously, there's William Shakespeare's The Jedi Doth Return, the final Star Wars/Shakespeare mashup from Ian Doescher. The first, Verily, a New Hope, was a surprise hit back in 2013, and fans can't seem to get enough of the Star Wars story told in iambic pentameter.
If none of these suits your fancy, hold on until 2016, when Hogarth books will launch the "Hogarth Shakespeare Collection," a series that allows modern-day authors to turn several of Shakespeare's most popular plays into novels.
Those who prefer a "just the facts, ma'am," approach might try Germaine Greer's 2008 biography of Ann Hathaway or Stephen Greenblatt's National Book Award Finalist Shakespeare biography, Will in the World.
What's your favorite Shakespeare-inspired work? Or do you believe the play's the thing?
Last week, the New York Times published a piece in the Sunday Review from Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld based on their new book, The Triple Package, a study of why different immigrant groups succeed or fail in America. Though the book has been criticized for being "soft science" and/or measuring things that are very difficult to quantify (something the authors point out themselves in the Times piece) one statistic stood out to me:
Immigrants from many West Indian and African countries, such as Jamaica, Ghana, and Haiti, are climbing America's higher education ladder, but perhaps the most prominent are Nigerians. Nigerians make up less than 1 percent of the black population in the United States, yet in 2013 nearly one-quarter of the black students at Harvard Business School were of Nigerian ancestry; over a fourth of Nigerian-Americans have a graduate or professional degree, as compared with only about 11 percent of whites.
Those are some astonishing numbers…but perhaps they're less so if you've been paying attention to literature lately. Although writers of African origin have been having a moment in recent years, it's not an exaggeration to say that Nigerian emigré authors are taking center stage. Don't believe it? How about Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Teju Cole, Chris Abani, Okey Ndibie, Uzodinma Iweala,* Helen Oyeyemi, and Taiye Selasie,* most of whom are now based mainly in the U.S. or U.K.
Anyone looking for more perspective on the Nigerian immigrant path should pick up Adichie's most recent novel, Americanah, which comes out in paperback next month—its heroine, Ifemelu, goes from cash-strapped immigrant student to an acclaimed academic.
*not Nigerian-born, but of Nigerian descent.
While reading an interview with Eleanor Catton in The Guardian after her recent Booker win, I came across this interesting quote:
It is the peculiar constellation of her age, gender and the particular nature of The Luminaries that has, she believes, provoked "a sense of irritation from some critics–that I have been so audacious to have taken up people's time by writing a long book. There's a sense in there of: 'Who do you think you are? You can't do that.' "
Think Elizabeth Gilbert's The Signature of All Things (512 pages), Kate Atkinson's Life After Life (544 pages), Nicola Griffith's Hild (560 pages), Amy Tan's The Valley of Amazement (604 pages), Marisha Pessl's Night Film (624 pages), Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch (784 pages) and Minae Mizumura's A True Novel (880 pages).
Here's your nifty visual aid:
Writing a long novel not only asks a lot of the reader, but is also a mark of ambition—something that is not always looked on kindly when coming from a woman. But if this year's output is any indication, female writers aren't letting themselves be held back.
What was your favorite long novel published this year?
A couple months ago, I commented on the creepy timeliness of Koethi Zan's debut thriller, The Never List. Coming July 16, The Never List tells a graphic, terrifying story with details similar to the real-life situation experienced by the three Ohio women who were rescued after being held prisoner for 10 years. Read our review of The Never List!
But as I look into the fall mystery titles, it's clear that The Never List was just a starting shot to what looks to be the most disturbing trend of the year: abduction thrillers. In September alone, three blockbuster thrillers bear distinct resemblance the terribly sad stories of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight. Each imparts graphic, intimate details of the mental and physical state of a woman held captive by a sadistic predator.
Alex by Pierre LeMaitre • MacLehose Press • 9/3
When Alex Prévost is kidnapped, beaten and trapped in a wooden cage hanging from the ceiling of an abandoned building, her only hope of escape is Police Commandant Camille Verhoeven. As Camille struggles to find the girl and her captor, he uncovers Alex's unusual past. With a 150,000-copy first printing, this is positioned to be a big one.
The Edge of Normal by Carla Norton • Minotaur • 9/10
Norton's true crime bestseller Perfect Victim: The True Story of the Girl in the Box was placed on the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit reading list. Now she steps into fiction with the story of Reeve LeClaire, who escaped her kidnapping six years ago. When she's asked to mentor another girl who experienced a similar situation, it's clear that the girl needs much more than guidance—she needs a protector from the villain that still watches.
Others of My Kind by James Sallis • Bloomsbury • 9/10
From the author of Drive comes the gritty, almost desensitized story of Jenny Rowan, who at age 8 was abducted and kept for years in a box underneath a bed. Years after her escape, a detective comes to her home and asks for her help with another young survivor. Of the four, this one might be the toughest.
Trends like this remind me of when I interviewed Therese Anne Fowler, who began writing Z, her novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, long before Jazz Age tales were back in vogue. Fowler had called it "radio waves in the zeitgeist," but this sadistic kidnapping thriller trend, coupled with coincidental recent events, pricks the spine.
Readers, I truly want to know your opinion: Why do you think all four of these authors—and probably many more—wrote on such similar topics? It this just a residual response to the popularity of last year's Room?
Do you think you'll be checking out any of these books?
A few years ago, YA lit fans were calling for more sci-fi, and it's safe to say that the genre answered. With YA's built-in fanbase for apocalyptic thrillers, the opportunities were endless: zombies, contagions, aliens, interplanetary romances and doomsdays that can be thwarted only by 16-year-olds.
Characters in high-action teen lit are right at home a hundred years in the future on Mars (Losers in Space, Black Hole Sun), surviving on space stations (Glow, Mothership), waking from stasis to discover a strange new future world (Across the Universe, A Long, Long Sleep) and thwarting dominate species (The Lunar Chronicles).
But this summer, it gets personal.
YA sci-fi comes to the home front as alien invasions sweep this summer's crop of teen lit. Naturally, many are set post-invasion, because honestly, YA dystopia will never die.
Here are a few of the big ones:
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey (Putnam, 5/7)
Aliens quickly and mercilessly destroy the majority of the human race in attacks called "Waves." The few survivors include Cassie, who runs along an abandoned highway in search of her missing brother, completely unaware that the aliens' most terrifying strike is yet to come. Think The Host, only much better. Read our review from the May issue.
Icons by Margaret Stohl (Little, Brown, 5/7)
The aliens in this one barely show their faces—but that's what makes them creepy. The survivors of this post-alien invasion world are so scared of their overlords that they perpetuate the aliens' horrors willfully. Four teens with a special immunity to the aliens are Earth's only hope. Fans of Stohl's Beautiful Creatures series will enjoy this one.
In the After by Demetria Lunetta (HarperTeen, 6/25)
Amy and a toddler she calls "Baby" survive after aliens invade Earth and kill almost all of the population. But when Amy and Baby are miraculously rescued, everything is not as it seems, and she begins to discover the truth behind "Them."
Neptune's Tears by Susan Waggoner (Holt, 6/25)
Call this one an alien invasion of the heart. Set in London in the year 2218, an empath named Zee falls in love with David, a member of a mysterious alien race. Sure, there's some fighting, but it's mostly fighting for their love. An alien invasion tale for the romantic set.
And one more to look forward to: The fourth book in Pittacus Lore's I Am Number Four series, The Fall of Five, comes out on August 27.
Are you a fan of YA sci-fi? Are you excited for the upcoming thrilling alien reads?
I can't tell you how many conversations I've had about erotic romance over the past year. How many people—in real life and via social media—have asked: I loved Fifty Shades . . . but what can I read next? Or: Why are millions of people reading this trash? Everyone has an opinion about the popularity of erotic romance. My two cents? I just want people to find a book that suits their taste.
I will say that I've grown a bit bored of the whole innocent-young-woman-is-seduced-by-a-billionaire plotline. So I was really excited to learn of S.E.C.R.E.T. by L. Marie Adeline, which gives the trope a feminist spin: What if the women control the fantasies? And I was intrigued by the novel's New Orleans setting. Forget boardrooms in big-city skyscrapers. Can you think of a better background for erotic romance than the French Quarter?
In a guest blog post, Adeline explains how she came to write erotic romance in the first place—and why her book stands out in a crowded market. If you've been on the fence about reading erotic romance, I hope you pick up S.E.C.R.E.T., which is on sale today.
Embracing the "what ifs" of erotic romance
By L. Marie Adeline
As a writer I always start with "what if." When I set out to write S.E.C.R.E.T., a book about a woman named Cassie Robichaud who's on a potent sexual journey, my "what if" had to do with my own reluctance to write erotica. The question became "What if you got over that fear and reached a wider audience, one now so clearly illuminated by the success of Fifty Shades of Grey?"
I'd always written about women's struggles with intimacy. But I'd mostly get my characters to the bedroom doorway, then mutter, "Okay. Bye. Have fun. I'll catch up with you later." Maybe I'd linger for a kiss, but rarely did I watch it go down. Why? What if my idea of good (or bad) sex didn't resonate with readers? What if my character's proclivities were ridiculed?
When Fifty Shades began its bestseller climb, I had been working on a financial advice book. My editor basically dared me to man up (or woman up), and try my hand at erotica, and, well, I did. Following close upon the heels of my first literary "what if" came other questions:
What if my character wasn't a very young woman but was a little older? What if I gave the story a feminist angle? What if a woman could learn to stay emotionally detached to men she's sexually attracted to, and what if she could learn to be sexually attracted to men to whom she is emotionally attached? What if other savvier women taught her how to do that?
That's what I feel differentiates S.E.C.R.E.T. from other novels in this genre. In my book, women help other women develop better sexual attitudes towards their partners.
In S.E.C.R.E.T., Cassie is recruited by a secret society of women in New Orleans that helps her overcome her sexual blocks. The group orchestrates nine daring sexual fantasies over the course of one year. With the group's support, Cassie becomes more alive to herself. It's not that Cassie doesn't "fall" for some of these incredible men, but her guide, Matilda, is there to warn her of the pitfalls of mixing lust with love. Wouldn't it be great if we all had a Matilda to tell us the truth about the Heathcliffs, the Rochesters and the Christian Greys? In Matilda's mind, the men in S.E.C.R.E.T. are fine for sex. Perfect, in fact. But for true and lasting love, not so much. And Cassie needs to hear that from another woman who's been there, done them.
That's not to say Cassie isn't on a romantic journey as well. There's this guy, see, and of course it's complicated . . . but in S.E.C.R.E.T., the erotic and romantic are explored separately before they finally, hopefully, come together at the end.
Here's the key: For Cassie to have uninhibited sex with these fantasy men, she needs support and guidance from other women who overcame the same fears, the same reluctance, the same self-doubts Cassie has. She needs to see that women who take big risks often reap great rewards. She needs to be gently nudged out of her head and into the bedroom. The women in S.E.C.R.E.T. carved a path, and support Cassie, and frankly, that's what E.L. James and other daring erotica writers have done for me. And for that, I'm grateful.
Thank you, L. Marie! For more on S.E.C.R.E.T. (the first in a series), visit this website or Facebook page.
Readers of our December issue know that we've dubbed Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl the breakout book of 2012. A word-of-mouth sensation, this novel is guaranteed to keep you on your toes—and have you talking about it to your friends.
If Gone Girl whetted your appetite for unpredictable plotlines, dark and twisted characters or jaw-dropping finales, here are a few suggestions on what to read next.
Case Histories by Kate Atkinson. One of the themes of Gone Girl was the fascination that missing women and girls hold in today's society. Atkinson takes on a similar topic in her first Jackson Brodie mystery, which links the recent murder of a young woman to a child's disappearance decades before.
Hanging Hill by Mo Hayder. If you thought the ending of Gone Girl was messed up—well, the last page of this story will have your head spinning. Really, all of Hayder's dark, well-written tales should appeal to the Flynn aficionado.
Mr. Peanut by Adam Ross. A husband who fantasizes about his wife's death sees his guilty nightmare come true. Those who enjoyed Flynn's exposé of the ugly underbelly of marriage shouldn't miss Ross' debut, which features three couples bound by love, hate and, possibly, murder.
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. Today's detective fiction is a descendant of Victorian "sensation" fiction—and The Woman in White, arguably the very first in that genre, is still one of the best. Like Flynn's, Collins' tale is told through the written statements of different protagonists, each with their own biases that the reader must consider. (Amy's diary has nothing on Count Fosco's!)
Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan. One of the pleasures of Gone Girl is its exploration of male-female dynamics and the power of creating a "story." McEwan deals with some of the same issues in his latest novel, which also contains one of those brilliant (and exceedingly rare) surprise endings that casts everything that came before in a different light.
Perfume by Patrick Suskind. You'd have a hard time finding a more dark and twisted main character than Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, the 18th-century French serial killer who stalks the pages of Suskind's remarkable debut novel. Grenouille is as manipulative and calculating as any character in the pages of Gone Girl, and the results of his machinations are shocking.
Mr. Fox by Helen Oyeyemi. A male writer is taken to task by his female muse for his unfortunate penchant for killing off the women he writes about in Oyeyemi's imaginative fourth novel, which shares Gone Girl's interest in violence against women and the dark side of marriage.
What books would you recommend for Gone Girl fans?

You have a budget, stick to it.
$500 is a big difference.
$500 is a big difference.
QuoteSince you aren't in a hurry, you can always subscribe to notifications at canonpricewatch.com and pick up refurbished copies when they become available. After tax, you're looking at roughly the same amount of savings, and even more when they run their regular sales. In fact, I was able to pick up a 70-200 IS II for $1784 shipped less than a month ago! You just have to be on your toes when you receive the email(s), because both of those lenses go out of stock quickly.
FYI, the last stock of 16-35s were available (and sold out) yesterday, so it could be 1-2+ weeks before they're in stock again. However, the 70-200 hasn't been in stock for 2 weeks now, so my guess is that they will be replenished sometime this week or next.
As for ND filters, that depends largely on your needs. If you're shooting video midday, then yes; they would probably come in handy. But for stills, even wide open at f/2.8, your max shutter speed should be fast enough to compensate for a proper exposure, unless you're shooting into the sun (in which case I'd be much more worried about flare). Honestly, worry about the glass now and the filters later if your budget is limited; the first is a much better investment than the latter.
What are some negatives for buying refurbished, or are there any? Does it come with the same warranties as a new one?
So for the past couple of weeks, I have been trying to save some money to buy a Canon 16-35 and 70-200 f2.8. I arranged the money so that I would be able to buy the two lenses and two Heliopan ND filters for the lenses.
I got the money arranged two days ago, However when I went on the B&H to buy the lenses, the prices were increases on both lenses. Apparently Canons Sale was over on the 7th of July. All together this increases the total price by $500. I mean I could still buy the lenses but I wouldn't have enough money to buy the filters and it would be $500 spent on nothing.
What do you guys think I should do? Im not in a rush to buy these lenses but it would be good if I could get it by the first week of next month. Do you think Canon will have another sale on these lenses in the upcoming weeks? OR should I just buy the lenses without the filters (How useful would a 70-200 be without an ND filter)?
Thank You Very Much!!!

Bethel honored again by ESPN The Magazine
For the second consecutive season, Lake Erie College women's soccer player Angela Bethel (Beavercreek, Ohio/Miami Valley) was selected as an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Second-Team selection for the District 4 College Division.
The junior forward led the Storm in all offensive categories this season with 18 goals, six assists and 42 points. She recorded two hat tricks, taking her career total to 11, while also becoming the program's all-time leader in goals (70) and points (160). The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) First-Team selection is majoring in business administration and mathematics and has a 3.79 grade point average.
She first earned the honor with the 2006 season, becoming the first player from Lake Erie to do so. This season's honor makes her the first player to ever receive the honor in consecutive seasons.
In order to be eligible for the honor, players must make a significant contribution to a varsity team, be in at least their second year of college and have a cumulative grade point average above a 3.20. A player must also be nominated by their school's sports information director. SIDs from across the country then vote and players with the greatest number of votes received are divided into three teams.
In the District 4 College Division this season, a total of 35 players were honored – 13 on the first and third teams and nine on the second team. Bethel was one of just 10 forwards to receive the honor.

Yesterday, I had a very enjoyable afternoon. I went to visit one of the local sugar cane farms. The owner likes and collects old cane tractors. Very nice people to talk to. He allowed me to take some pics to share with you guys, but asked that I not reveal his name The trip was worth it since he had an extra front rim for an MV in excellent condition that he gave me. Now I will have a spare. I went to try to find some of the original tools for my MV, but no luck. I always get the same answer everywhere I go:"sorry, I just scrapped those a year or two ago"
The tractors are not for sale.

CAMPBELLSBURG, KY (WAVE) – A semi driver is dead after his rig went off the roadway, crashing into a bridge overpass before landing on the road below.
According to Kentucky State Police in Campbellsburg, the crash happened at 8:30 a.m. on Interstate 71 in Gallatin County at the 63 mile marker. State police say the rig was heading southbound when it veered off the road and hit the end of the overpass. The impact left the trailer in the middle of the interstate and sent the cab onto the roadway below.
The driver, Johnny Sherard, 54, of Anderson, SC, was partially ejected from the tractor and died in the crash. State police said Sherard was not wearing a seatbelt.
KSP said the investigation is ongoing, but wet roads from the Friday morning rain are believed to be a factor.
The impact caused a crack in the bridge overpass, but state inspectors said the bridge suffered no structural damage.

FORT WORTH — Every day is a struggle for the Jordan family. Their son, Wade, has cerebral palsy, and taking a ride anywhere requires patience and time.
"I have a dream one day that he will be able to access everything he wants, because it's a fight," said Wade's mom, Jennifer Jordan.
Sometimes, that fight sparks disappointment and anger.
It happened nearly two weeks ago when they arrived at an Applebee's restaurant in Saginaw. The parking lot was full and the Jordans got frustrated after seeing a Saginaw police vehicle parked in one of the spaces reserved for the handicapped.
"Not being able to get a parking space where we can get our ramp down on the side and then to have it be a police officer ... it made me mad," Jennifer Jordan said.
They took pictures of squad car No. 97. They also spoke to the officer who was responding to a non-emergency disturbance call at the restaurant.
"I was nice, but then he wouldn't acknowledge me," Jordan said. "He didn't look at me... didn't say, 'I'm sorry.'"
The Jordans shared their frustration on Facebook and with the 3E Love website, an organization committed to changing the perception of disability.
The posts went viral. Dozens of people contacted the Saginaw Police Department.
The Jordan family also sent an e-mail to the department. Saginaw Police Chief Roger Macon wrote back and apologized for the incident.
"It appears that our officer, in an attempt to efficiently serve one segment of our community, lost sight of the larger picture and failed to protect another," Macon wrote. "We let you down this time, and I take personal responsibility for that, and will take steps to keep it from being an issue in the future."
Chief Macon told News 8 the officer should have parked in the fire lane, and he said the officer has been counseled.
The Jordan family says that's enough, but they are still waiting for the officer to say three words.
"I hope you learn your lesson," Jordan said. "An apology goes a long way."
E-mail email@example.com
Full text of the letter from Saginaw Police Chief Roger Macon:
Dear Ms. Jordan:
Thank you for contacting me about this incident. As you can imagine, we've received an outpouring of responses from not only the Saginaw community, but across the country regarding this event.
Although we have not fully investigated the circumstances behind the call, your photographs tell a powerful story. It appears that our officer, in an attempt to efficiently serve one segment of our community, lost sight of the larger picture and failed to protect another, sometimes more fragile part of our population. For that, I offer you the department's apology, as well as my personal apology for this shortcoming.
Our mission clearly states,
"The mission statement of the Saginaw Police Department is to provide professional, efficient and equitable service to our community through integrity, courage, compassion, accountability and pride."
We let you down this time, and I take personal responsibility for that, and will take steps to keep it from being an issue in the future.
Should you wish to file a formal written complaint against the officer, please contact Captain Karl Johnson, either by phone or email. However, I agree that the embarrassment shared by the department and officer will go much further in ensuring that we all take this issue more seriously in the future.
I wish the best for Wade (and, of course, the rest of your family).

There is this other knife forum on the net that prohibits repeating the name of any retailer that doesn't give them money, so some people get in the habit of using the abbreviations or pseudonyms.
Is the opticsplanet price of $183 a fair one? This is the first sprint run I've followed closely and plan on buying, so I'm still a little green. I've heard other estimates as low as $140 or so. What do you guys think is a fair price?
Personally, I've asked 4 or 5 places to email me when they become available and have got my name on the backup preorder list (with option to cancel) at one place that doesn't email.
Good luck!!
I don't think $183 is too bad, considering what they'll probably go for on eBay once they're released.

UNCW Press Release
HUNTINGTON, West Virginia - UNCW redshirt freshman Craig Ponder did everything he could, exploding for a career-high 26 points before a large group of family and friends, but Marshall rallied down the stretch to edge the Seahawks, 61-58, in a men's basketball game Saturday night at the Cam Henderson Center.
The Herd advanced to 4-0 at home and hiked its record to 5-3 with the non-conference win. The Seahawks had their two-game winning streak snapped and stand 3-4 on the year.
"I was very pleased with our effort, but no one likes to lose a close game like this," said third-year UNCW skipper Buzz Peterson. "We just didn't make plays late."
Junior guard DeAndre Kane led four players in double figures for the Herd with 16 points, while junior forward Elijah Pittman chipped in 12, junior transfer D.D. Scarver scored 12 and senior center Nigel Spikes had 10 points and 13 rebounds.
Ponder, a Bluefield native who had scored 23 points all season, was spectacular in his return to the Mountain State. He went 11-for-16 from the floor, made his only free throw attempt and dished out two assists in 33 minutes of action.
Senior forward Keith Rendleman, making his 100th career appearance and 85th start over the last four seasons, was mired in foul trouble most of the night and had his CAA-best streak of 18 straight double figure games snapped when he ended up with nine points on 4-for-6 shooting.
The Seahawks, who shot a season-high 46.4 percent, remained winless away from home in 2012-13 and have dropped 10 consecutive road contests dating back to a 68-66 win at William & Mary on Jan. 21, 2012.
After the two teams battled to a 28-all draw in the first half, no more than five points separated the two clubs the rest of the way and UNCW rallied from behind in the final minutes to inch out to a 58-57 advantage.
Trailing 57-54 following a tip-in by Spikes with 2:29 left to play, UNCW regained the lead, 58-57, when Rendleman made his only basket of the second half and Ponder converted a layup with 1:18 on the clock.
Kane, a 59 percent career free throw shooter, then made a pair of foul shots with 21 seconds left to give the Herd a 59-58 edge. However, the Seahawks turned the ball over on the next possession and Scarver sank two more free throws with 1.7 on the clock for the final margin.
A large disparity at the foul line played a role in the outcome. Rendleman was tagged with his fourth personal and went to the bench with 17:55 left in the second half and didn't return until the 4:36 mark. Marshall, meanwhile, wound up connecting on 16-of-26 at the charity stripe, while the Seahawks made 3-of-6 attempts.
At one point, the Seahawks had 14 personals and the Herd just one. UNCW finished with 26 personals to 10 for MU.
Marshall came out firing and made its first five field goal attempts to grab a 12-7 lead at the first media timeout. Scarver drained the second of back-to-back triples at 15:45 to give the Herd a three-point lead and Kane tacked on another triple out of the break to give the Herd its largest lead of the half, 15-7, with 13:45 remaining.
But Ponder and backcourt mate Chris Dixon answered with UNCW's next nine points and a driving layup by Dixon at 10:58 closed the gap to 17-16 at 10:58.
The Seahawks finally got over the hump with just under five minutes left when sophomore forward Cedrick Williams was credited with a tip-in and Ponder canned a three-ball to give UNCW a 24-22 edge at 4:25.
Luke Hager's swish from the right baseline then gave UNCW a 28-26 edge, but Kane stole the ball, raced the length of the floor and slammed it home to tie the game at intermission, 28-all.
UNCW returns home to entertain NCAA Division II Coker on Wednesday at 8 p.m. The game is part of a hoops doubleheader in conjunction with the UNCW-UNC Charlotte women's game at 5 p.m.
GAME NOTES: Marshall evened the series at 2-all with its second straight win over UNCW...DeAndre Kane is one of two NCAA Division I players with a triple double this season...Freshman C.J. Gettys (injury) and graduate student Tyree Graham (illness) did not make the trip...Saturday marked the first time in the series that the two teams have met in December...The Seahawks are now 37-32 lifetime against Conference USA opponents...The Seahawks began of stretch of three road games in four contests...In Buzz Peterson's last trip to Huntington, he directed Appalachian State to a win over Marshall in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament...Kane, second in the NCAA Division I ranks with 8.9 per game, had five helpers on the night...UNCW had a season-low 14 turnovers.

What happens when you can't pay your medical bills?
Original post made on Aug 7, 2012

The problem is that the charges are all inflated and phoney -- they bear next to no relationship to what will actually be paid by insurance.
I had a hip replaced five years ago -- in one noon and out the next evening. No complications, no unusual meds, one night in the H: the bill I was shown was $87,000+ smackers with completely opaque information. What's more, my surgeon -- the guy who Really added the value, soon thereafter left town because he said he could no longer afford raising a family in the Bay Area. And he was doing over 200 hips/year -- pretty clearly he wasn't getting paid enough.
The current system is completely SNAFU'd and FUBAR. I do not believe you CAN be a really intelligent consumer, because neither the insurance companies nor the medical establishment seems to want you to know costs, nor how much of my bill goes to subsidize those who can't pay.
I am hopeful that the cost-control aspects of ACA will have some helpful impact.

The "affordable Care Act" aka Obamacare--would not have ALLOWED gomer to HAVE the surgery. Under Obamacare---that ALL FEDERAL workers are EXEMPTED from---if your cardiac pacemaker needs battery replacement--it ain't gonna happen if you are over 60. Let them die----soylent green IS Obamacare.

Brittney Griner, Phoenix Mercury open training camp

It wasn't long, however, before she was ready to wind it up again.
"At first I was like, �ooh, I'm at home,' was relaxing with my family and then I was waking up every day like, �I'm bored. I can't do this. I need to do something.' So, yeah, at the end I was ready to come back," she said following day one of training camp on Monday.
Griner was one of ten players to go through a two-and-a-half hour workout on the main court at US Airways Center.
Missing, though, were starters DeWanna Bonner, Candice Dupree and Diana Taurasi. They, along with first-year head coach Sandy Brondello, are still overseas, completing their seasons in Russia.
Brondello is actually coaching Taurasi in the league finals.
"It was quiet because (Bonner) isn't here," Griner said laughing.
"Don't show her this. But it was quiet. And then to see some of the new faces and some old faces that I haven't seen in awhile. Actually, I played against (Hallie) Christofferson and I played against Tiffany (Bias). To catch up with them (two of the team's three rookies) and see them out here, it was good. It was a good first day."
While much of the team's star power was absent, the Mercury did have newly-acquired point guard Erin Phillips in attendance. She was picked up in a trade last month that sent forward Lynette Kizer and a first round draft pick to Indiana.
The move reunites the 28-year-old Aussie with Brondello. The two have worked previously with the Australian national team.
"She's just taken my game to another level," said Phillips, entering her seventh WNBA season. "So having the opportunity to play under her and next to Penny Taylor and Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, Dupree, Bonner, I mean the list goes on. It was such an exciting moment and very surreal. I still can't believe that I'm actually here, to be honest."
In Brondello's absence, assistant Julie Hairgrove ran the first practice.
"The players came out. They gave maximum effort and really got after it today. We actually got quite a bit done," she said, before adding about Brondello, "She's very excited to get back and I'm just trying to do my best, holding it down and getting the girls some offensive sets, defensive philosophy; just so when she comes back it's an easy transition."
Brondello is expected to return later in the week with the players to follow soon thereafter.
"I know she's pumped and I know she's ready. And I'm pumped and I'm ready, so I'm excited to see her out here on the court," Griner said.

Fitness warning for Shakers youth star Regan Walker
9:00am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in Shakers Updates By Craig Nelson
YOUNG Bury striker Regan Walker has been sent back to the youth team to work on his fitness with a word of warning from manager David Flitcroft.
The 17-year-old forward has made two substitute appearances for the Shakers first team since being promoted from the youth ranks by previous boss Ronnie Jepson.
But Flitcroft said: "We've got to take Reggie out of the first team environment until he can cope with that level.
"It's my duty of care to get him fit and I will do everything I can to get him fit, but he's got to want to get fit and it's something we are really working hard on.
"I can have the best staff in the world but if Reggie doesn't want to get fit we've not a chance with him."
Anthony Dudley, who has scored 10 goals in 12 matches for the youth team this season, has swapped places with Walker, coming on for his league debut against Burton Albion last weekend.
"I have seen something in Duds that I like," said Flitcroft.
"There is a player in there. I had no hesitation in putting him on (against Burton).
"In the small-sided games he has been playing in he has been quite illusive and I just felt he could get in between them.
"A couple of balls got through and flashed across the goal and I could maybe just see him popping up in there.
"But he's one for the future, there's no doubt about that.
"I will keep promoting the young players because I believe in a good youth system.
"Hopefully it will give him some real belief that he can mix it with the big boys."

I like David's attitude and believe he is right to send Regan back to the youth side to improve his fitness and more important his attitude to getting fit.

|Fair entertainment discussion sparks poll
|Tuesday, March 12, 2013 12:19 PM
VAN WERT — When the Van Wert County Fair Board held its public meeting on Saturday, a familiar topic was featured — grandstand entertainment at the fair. Driving the discussion was local resident Deb Venderley who has been collecting funds to bring in popular musicians at the fair. She told the board she has donations totaling $12,000 already and hopes to get to $20,000 in an effort to secure popular entertainment for a grandstand show.
Venderley asked for permission to continue to seek donations and to receive proposals from a Lima-based firm for possible acts. As part of that firm's contract, marketing of the show would be accomplished through barter of show tickets, with 298 tickets requested for promotional purposes.
The board told Venderley that they would meet shortly after Saturday's public meeting to talk about the matter and take official action. The decision left Venderley admittedly disappointed.
"They told me to go ahead and pursue sponsors," she said. But they think they can get the advertising cheaper. They think they can do that cheaper. Personally, I don't think they can, but if they think they can then great! But I don't think they'll get the [same] exposure."
According to Venderley, she is going to continue to raise funds and to speak with the Lima-based company about possible bands but she thinks the board will try to do things their own way.
"I guess I don't have a definite answer until we go back for the next meeting on the 20th," she replied. "I'm a little disappointed but if that's what they choose to do, that's what they choose to do."
The Times Bulletin is conducting an informal poll about the genre desired for fair entertainment. Choose between country and classic rock by going the home page at www.timesbulletin.com and scrolling down the right column to find the poll. Votes will be taken for one week, and the results will be announced in both the print and online editions of the The Delphos Herald.

The hotel was a fraud. Once you are there, you check that it doesn´t even have that name!!! There are several notice on the main door reading that the hotel has been closed several times by the authorities because it is dangerous to life, and that you enter the building under your own responsability. In addition to this, the price once you get there is higher because of some "taxes". Awful experience. Couldn´t stay there for the whole time.

Vitae: Year in Review | Annual Report 2008
The Reynolds Grant award to UMMS resulted from the work of, from left: Jerry Gurwitz, MD; Mary Ellen Keough, director of Educational Programs for the Meyers Primary Care Institute; LInC Project Manager Tricia Droney; Sherly Jean-Bart of the Of? ce of Educational Affairs; Director of Grants and Special Projects Emily Ferrara; Michele Pugnaire, MD; Sarah McGee, MD, MPH; and Mary Zanetti, senior director of Research and Evaluation.
No matter their specialty, every physician will need targeted training to address the special health care needs of the elderly, a patient cohort growing to unprecedented numbers. Affirming its commitment to prepare its trainees for this demographic shift, UMass Medical School has been awarded a $2 million grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, one of the largest private foundations in the United States. The UMMS award, one of ten grants made in 2008 by the foundation as part of its Aging and Quality of Life Program, will support implementation of a comprehensive geriatrics curriculum across the span of medical training for students, residents and practicing physicians. UMMS will commit additional funding in excess of $1 million to support the initiative. Grant co-investigators Michele P. Pugnaire, MD, associate professor of family medicine & community health and senior associate dean for Educational Affairs, and Jerry Gurwitz, MD, the Dr. John Meyers Professor of Primary Care Medicine, professor of medicine and family medicine & community health and chief of the Division of Geriatric Medicine, bring foundational expertise in researching and implementing best practices in geriatric care and curriculum development. "The time is right for this project at UMass Medical School," said Dr. Pugnaire. "We are in the midst of a major curriculum redesign, and aging has been endorsed by our curriculum committees and redesign teams as a unifying theme for all components of our new curriculum." Specific initiatives of the four-year UMMS project will include an integrated educational program in geriatrics spanning undergraduate and graduate medical education, with faculty development focusing on the principles of providing high quality care to the elderly; a new Geriatrics Education Resource Center to bring together the essential state-of-the-art educational services, technologies and expertise in curriculum development; a special program to educate chief residents across the medical and surgical specialties regarding the unique considerations in providing care for older patients; and the recruitment of new geriatrics faculty.

The Great Chicago Fire Hydrant program benefits families of fallen Chicago police officers and firefighters, featuring designs by the city's professional and amateur artists.
Hundreds of these will be placed throughout the city to honor those who have been killed in the line of duty making the ultimate sacrifice and to recognize those who still serve the city today.
Bella Quintas, 12, painted one of those fire hydrants. She said she's done art all her life, but the volume of her work increased when her mother was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. For Bella, art became a form of therapy as well as her passion.
"I kind of got stressed. I didn't know what was going to happen," Bella said. "Art was really therapy tool.
"I'm so proud. It's amazing," her mother told FOX 32 News. "It's all of our local firefighters so she really put a lot of effort into the work that was on there. She really wanted it to be special."
The money raised by this charity art program will benefit the 100 Club of Chicago, which supports the family members of fallen firefighters and police officers.
FOX 32 adopted one of these fire hydrants. While it was still a blank canvas on Wednesday, it won't be long before an artist makes it beautiful and the station can display it on the FOX 32 plaza at Michigan and Lake.
