So far, more than 17,700 people have cast their ballot in Lubbock County during the first week of early voting, but what we don't often hear about are the tireless efforts of the people who organize and administer elections.
|Decision 2004 Election Coverage
Since August, seven employees from the Lubbock County Elections Office have been working seven days a week, non-stop with many late nights and early mornings.
"I mean from minor things, as to sorting paper clips and sharpening pencils, all the way up to ordering the ballots and getting them in and getting them separated and getting them to write precinct boxes and that kind of thing, so there's a ton of behind the scenes work that goes on and it just takes the very large number of people to get all that work done so that everything looks and seems like a seamless process to the election voter when they go to the early voting place to vote or on election day," explains Dorothy Kennedy, elections administrator.
She says the most challenging task is to be sure there are plenty of ballots on hand at every polling location. Sunday night ballot boxes from the supermarket polling locations were delivered to the elections office where they are locked away in a secure area.
On a daily basis, up to three classes are conducted to train election day workers. On that day, more than 500 will be working at almost 70 polling locations.

One day after Doug Gansler faced the news media on his behavior at a high school graduation beach party, his running mate complained about the "dirt" being thrown at their campaign.
Jolene Ivey appeared on WAMU radio Friday where she defended the Democratic candidate for governor and sympathized with the choices he had to make.
Ivey chose her words carefully as she answered questions about her running mate and what advice she may have given him since the Baltimore Sun published a picture of the attorney general at a high school beach party where there may have been underage drinking.
It is another in a series of embarrassing stories that have come his way in recent weeks.
Ivey took a seat at the radio roundtable called The Politics Hour with Kojo Nnamdi around 12:30 p.m. Friday where she attempted to discuss the challenges facing Marylanders today.
But instead, she was pulled into the controversy surrounding her running mate and his behavior is now making national news.
"You know we have to all admit that Doug Gansler has already said that what he did was wrong," said Ivey. "He did the wrong thing. He should have handled it differently. And you know, how many of us parents haven't done something that we regretted as parents? We are not perfect. None of us is perfect."
Ivey, a member of the House of Delegates and a Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, went no farther than that and suggested it was all part of a dirty political game.
"The issues right now, none of them are fun, but if you take each of them separately, there are things that I'm sure the other side is trying to throw dirt every time we're making progress," said Ivey.
During his news conference Thursday, Gansler faced an aggressive group of reporters, including one network correspondent who got up close and personal with the candidate asking: "Is that your hand with the cell phone taking a picture?
"No, that's my hand, but my guess is what I'm doing is reading a text," Gansler responded.
We showed the clip to political analyst Lenny Steinhorn.
"I don't think the question itself, as oddly as it was phrased, was inappropriate because you have a picture there, it looks like he could have been taking a picture, and therefore if he was standing there doing that and observing and having fun at the party, which was contrary to what his statement was, then it suggests he was complicit in any of the activities that were going on because he wasn't stopping them," Steinhorn said.
Ivey said Gansler only went into the party because his son was not responding to the text messages he was sending.
Steinhorn says Gansler may be able to survive the scrutiny but "no politician wants to be accused of hypocrisy or abusing the perks of office. And if those become a meme, if that becomes a frame for how people see his candidacy, that's going to be trouble for him so he has to get out ahead of this story."
In recent days, the attorney general has also had to respond to allegations he abused privileges with his security detail and failed to pay a speeding ticket in the District.
Gansler says he knows where these stories are coming from, he is a big boy and it all comes with the territory.
He's got eight months to get his campaign's message out with the Democratic primary scheduled for June.

Serves 6
550g salmon fillet, skin removed
1 x 375g packet of puff pastry
75g butter
75g rice
1 medium onion, finely chopped
110g button mushrooms, finely sliced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
225ml fish stock
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 eggs, hard boiled and then chopped
1½ tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
25g butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten
Melt 25g butter in a saucepan, pour the rice into the saucepan and stir to coat the rice in the butter. Add the fish stock, bring to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes, take the pan off the heat, remove the lid and let it cool.
Whilst the rice is cooking, butter a sheet of foil, lay the salmon on it and season to taste. Wrap it up fairly loosely, place on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, open the foil and let it cool. The salmon will not be completely cooked at this stage but that is how it should be.
Melt the remaining 50g of butter in a saucepan, add the finely chopped onion and cook gently for about 10 minutes until the onion is soft. Then add the sliced mushrooms and half the dill and carry on cooking for another 5 minutes. Then stir in the lemon zest and juice, season and allow to cool.
Break the cooled salmon into flakes, put into a bowl and add the chopped hard boiled eggs, the rest of the dill, half of the parsley and some salt and black pepper. In another bowl mix together the rice mixture with the onion, mushrooms and the rest of the parsley.
Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle. Put half the rice mixture into the centre of the rectangle, then put the salmon mixture on top of this. Finish off with the remainder of the rice mixture on top of the salmon. You're aiming for a loaf shape and may need to press it together a little bit. Fold the sides of the pastry up and over the top of the filling so that the edges overlap, brush with the egg and pinch the edges of the pastry together to seal. Then do the same with the ends of the pastry. You should end up with a completely sealed oblong of pastry encasing the salmon and rice mixtures.
Set the oven to 220C/gas mark 7. Place the coulibiac onto a baking tray with the sealed edges underneath and then brush the top with the beaten egg and any remaining butter. Put the baking tray on to a high shelf in the oven and cook for 20 – 25 minutes by which time the pastry should be golden brown and the filling cooked through. Take out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes or so before cutting into slices and serving.
Delicious with sour cream or with a mixed leaf salad.

I'm about 5 minutes into my tour of the ' new health care building with CEO Doug Halvorsen when it hits me:
Heck, I'd like to live here.
The spa, the salon down the hall, the comfortable 400-square-foot rooms—each one with a kitchenette and private bathroom—the serene courtyard and living room-like common areas, the massive kitchen/dining room with granite countertops and state-of-the-art cooking equipment.
This isn't a nursing home, it's a home.
"What we tried to build is a highly residential, non-institutional-feeling building, that's built to health standards," said Halvorsen.
Here's a small example of what he's talking about: Health code requires that in an assisted living/skilled nursing facility such as this, every resident's room must have exam gloves, paper towels and soap at the ready. In most places, these items are contained in "great big ugly institutional dispensers" stuck to the wall, explained Halvorsen.
Residents at the Evergreens' new health care building will find these items packed into nice little knockoffs of Longaberger baskets (I had to look it up too) atop the bathroom sink.
"It looks like something that would be in someone's home, not a hospital," he said, which could be said of the entire building. Everything was designed to let residents forget the words "health care" are used to describe where they're living.
The structure is of an $80 million, four-phase renovation of the 93-year-old retirement community. The health care building, which represents the most significant portion of the project at $32 million, was formally unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday morning.
Halvorsen, who took over in 2002, said, "I've been working on this for 10 years … It's probably one of the most satisfying things I've ever participated in. We fleshed out in bricks and mortar how health care should be done."
The 87,000-square-foot building is split into three floors—assisted living on the first and third, skilled nursing on the second—and has 76 total rooms. It will temporarily house 100 residents while phase III is under construction.
Phase III will add 24 assisted living apartments in a new building adjacent to the health care center. Also included in Phase III is a new community center, additional dining options, a new library, upgraded physical therapy services and a wellness center, among other features, according to the Evergreens website.
Phase I involved renovations to the dining rooms, kitchen, and residential gardens, as well as a number of other improvements, Halvorsen said.
The Evergreens is home to approximately 300 residents.

Although the compromise on the "fiscal cliff" was achieved, averting massive tax hikes, paychecks will still be smaller this year, according to a local financial expert.
Furman business professor Tom Smythe said the bill succeeded at preventing income taxes from increasing for most people, but the Social Security payroll tax cut expired. He said that means rates will go from 4.2 percent back to 6.2 percent.
"For the average family here in South Carolina, it's going to amount to about $1,000 in 2013, or about $80 to $85 a month."
Smythe said he calculated the average income in the state to be about $50,000 per year. That means people who are paid bi-monthly can expect to see about $40 less per paycheck. He said the change will translate to less spending and budget tightening.
"People went out and bought cars or furniture or appliances on credit," Smythe said. "They were counting on having that $80 a month to pay for these things. Well, now they are going to have to find places to cut to be able to pay for these expenditures that they have made commitments on a year or two ago."
The compromise was an effort to keep the country from slipping back into a recession, Smythe said. He said income tax rates will increase on people making $400,000 or more and couples who make $450,000 or more.
Smythe said most people will see the changes in their first paychecks of the year. He said state workers have already seen smaller checks.
The professor said that with the cost of living going up and higher Social Security taxes, Smythe said the U.S. may very well slip over the "fiscal cliff" in time.
"It will prove to be a drag on the economy, which, of course, has an impact on jobs and things like that," Smythe said.
Now that the bill has passed Congress, it moves to President Barack Obama's desk to be signed into law.

News: Obie Trice's Tax Records Leak Online, Rapper Owes $298K To IRS
Thursday, Aug 5, 2010 12:26PM
Former Shady Records artist Obie Trice's tax records have leaked online and show the rapper owing over $298,000 to the Internal Revenue Service.
His debt is in relation to a June 2010 tax lien filed against him.
Detroit rapper Obie Trice, who survived a New Year's Eve shooting on the Lodge freeway in 2005, is ducking a shot from the Internal Revenue Service, which claims the Eminem pal owes more than $298,000 in delinquent taxes. The IRS filed a $298,051 tax lien against Trice on June 21 with the Wayne County Register of Deeds. The address on the lien is his mother's house in Detroit. Trice could not be reached for comment. His father, also named Obie Trice, said he would try to pass a message along to his son. He didn't know anything about the tax lien. Well, he knew one thing: "I know that's not me," he said Wednesday. "I've never made that kind of money to get that kind of tax debt." (Detroit News)
In 2008, Trice was released from Shady Records.
"Shady Records has agreed to allow Obie Trice to pursue his craft in a different forum free from the constraints of the current major label model," Em's manager Paul Rosenberg said in a statement. "Eminem will continue to support and work with Obie on many levels of his career. He remains a close friend and member of the Shady family." (Rap Basement)
Recently, Shady's Cashis talked about his relationship with the former labelmate.
"That's probably it they didn't want to wait any more," he said in an interview. "Patience is a virtue like you could be upset with your momma, but at the end of the day that's not what you feel. I can't really speak on their situation like why they left or whatever. Obie is my partner straight up he's a real dude. He's doing good so some things are meant to be but I can't speak on other peoples situation. I support them in whatever they do and no one has ever left Shady Records talking really crazy so it's always a mutual split." (Q The Question)
Last year, Obie Trice spoke with SOHH about releasing his latest solo compilation, Special Reserve.
"Me and my man [MoSS] from Toronto, h*ll of a producer, we're putting the music out there that we did back in the day and just putting it out there, it's some old-school, new-school hip-hop sh*t," Obie told SOHH. "When Bottom's Up comes out, then we'll talk about that Shady sh*t. This is some of the music that signed me to Eminem's label." (SOHH)
Check out some past Obie Trice footage down below:

It happened around 7:25 p.m. Tuesday night, at an apartment in the 2900 block of Halsted Rd.

Every U.S. company with more than 100 employees is required to file a one-page form each year with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, an independent federal agency. Called the EEO-1, the form categorizes each company's U.S. workers by their self-identified race and gender.
You've taken the first step, good for you.
Groupon's success in the daily deals space spawned hundreds of copycat sites and inspired big companies like Google to hawk their coupon services. Skeptics said the near-immediate market saturation meant Groupon's business was easily replicated -- and therefore doomed.
When the owner of the Hillbrook Inn went looking for ways to boost business, she turned to a new and increasingly popular tool: daily deal sites like LivingSocial and Groupon.
"Inventory overhang drove furniture prices down as much as 25% in 2008, but they're going back up," says industry analyst Jerry Epperson of Mann Armistead & Epperson. That's for new pieces, mind you.
Banks have found a new revenue stream -- and this time, it doesn't involve hitting you up with a new fee.
Andrew Mason wanted to show how he's grown since founding and leading Groupon.
The online coupon market has been exploding in the last year or so. Just look at some of the startups offering this service: Groupon, LivingSocial, Scoutmob, OpenTable, zozi, SCVNGR LevelUp, viagogo, Google Offers and many others.
Romil Patel is a Chicago-based entrepreneur and investor who writes about the tech industry on his blog, Venture Level.
After Gilt Groupies changed the 12 o'clock hour and Groupon made vouchers cool, users may finally be over it all.
Groupon is fervently preparing for its most ambitious venture yet: the launch of a new mobile application that the company hopes will change when and how society chooses to eat, shop and play.
It's a battle of the daily deal sites -- and this time it played out on the big screen. Right after Groupon secured a Super Bowl ad, rival site LivingSocial snapped up a pre-game spot.
Google is preparing to launch Google Offers, the search giant's Groupon competitor, Mashable has learned.
In August 2010, the CEO of Groupon.com discussed the success of the group coupon website.
Group buying websites enjoyed massive growth in 2010 grabbing new customers and the headlines as the sector's biggest player, Groupon turned down a reported $6 billion offer from Google in early December.
After weeks of negotiations about a potential takeover, Groupon appears to have walked away from would-be suitor Google.
Get ready for a clash of titans. As Google negotiates to buy daily-deal website Groupon in what is likely to be its most expensive acquisition ever, Amazon.com swooped in Thursday with a $175 million investment in LivingSocial, Groupon's most successful competitor.
With restaurants, salons and yoga studios from coast to coast using the services of flash-sale websites to offer deep discounts to customers, paying full price seems downright silly.
If you're in your 20s and 30s and feel cash-strapped, you're not alone. Between student loans, car loans, credit card debt and other expenses it's getting tougher to make a budget and stick to it.
Twitter intends to offer special deals and discounts to its users, the company revealed this week. Is this a smart move for the social messaging site, or just an attempt to leap aboard the "online deals" bandwagon?
Can we all get a better deal by making purchases together?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - There has been a Vince Young sighting in the Titans locker room.
Injured Titans quarterback Vince Young made his first known appearance in the Titans locker room since being asked to leave before a team meeting last month.
It was the first known appearance by Young since the injured quarterback was asked to leave the facility before a team meeting.
Young made his way through the locker room after Friday's practice, exchanging hugs and pleasantries with a number of teammates. He did not talk with reporters.
Young wore a brace over his surgically repaired right thumb, which he injured Nov. 21 against Washington. Young was placed on injured reserve Nov. 22, the same day Fisher sent word for Young to leave the facility as he addressed the rest of the team about the quarterback's injury.

Dune by Frank Herbert
Paul Atreides is just fifteen years old, and small for his age besides, but he's not to be dismissed. Paul is bright, well trained, and the heir of House Atreides. Paul's father, Duke Leto, is an exceptional leader who commands the loyalty of his subjects with ease, thus earning him the respect of his noble peers. Consequently, the Emperor has assigned Leto a new task: control of Arrakis, or "Dune," a desert planet that is home to the "spice," a substance that allows for many things, including interstellar travel. The only thing standing in his way is House Harkonnen, hastily characterized as a family of red-haired, pouty-lipped, extremely cunning sadists.
Frank Herbert's Dune is now considered a masterpiece of science fiction, but if its setting were only slightly altered, it would be universally considered a monumental work of fantasy. It certainly offers everything a... Read More
Frank Herbert(1920-1968)
Frank Herbert was born in Tacoma, Washington, and educated at the University of Washington, Seattle. He worked a wide variety of jobs — including TV cameraman, radio commentator, oyster diver, jungle survival instructor, lay analyst, creative writing teacher, reporter and editor of several West Coast newspapers — before becoming a full-time writer. Here's the Dune website.
Dune — (1965-2012) After Frank Herbert's death, books in the Dune series have been written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. Publisher: Here is the novel that will be forever considered a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Maud'dib. He would avenge the traitorous plot against his noble family — and would bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream. A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.

Dune: A must read for all SFF fans
Dune by Frank Herbert
"EPIC! One of my favorite books of all time. By the way, Dune is terrific on audio." —Kat Hooper
Dune Messiah: Disappointing sequel
Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert
Frank Herbert's 1965 Dune was an overwhelming success, winning awards and selling millions of copies. Little did readers know, however, that it was only the beginning of the Family Atreides saga. Picking up events roughly a decade after Paul's ascension to Emperor, Dune Messiah is the story of his descent from power. Herbert knocks the hero he created off his pedestal, so readers should be prepared for many changes in the story — and not all are for the better.
Dune Messiah continues the saga of the Atreides family in epic, soap-operatic fashion. Paul, having expanded his power to over much of the known universe since becoming Emperor in Dune, is nevertheless helpless to prevent the religious fanaticism and destruction caused by his Fremen followers, drawing the hatred and ire of the opposition in the process. Chani, now his concubine, is unable to con... Read More
Children of Dune: Better than Messiah, but doesn't return to Dune's standard
Children of Dune by Frank Herbert
Based on the polar nature of the first two books in the DUNE series, Paul's ascension in Dune and his descent in Dune Messiah, not much would seem left to be told in the House Atreides saga. Publishing Children of Dune in 1976, ten years after Dune, Frank Herbert proved there was still more to tell, telling a solid but not spectacular tale that has some big shoes to fill if it is to live up to the success of Dune Read More
God Emperor of Dune: Seems like a thematic pinnacle
God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert
Given the coarse, operatic nature of Dune's two sequels, I was reluctant to continue the series. I thought Leto II's rise to power was an appropriate place to leave off in the cycle despite the three sequels Herbert penned. After reviewing Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, however, someone told me that the first three novels were in fact just stage-setting for the fourth, God Emperor of Dune, and if I was to truly appreciate the series I needed to continue. Continue I did, and though I still think Dune Read More
The Butlerian Jihad: Not bad, not great
The Butlerian Jihad by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
As one would expect, Dune prequel The Butlerian Jihad, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, doesn't match the original but it's unfair of course to compare this work (the single book or the entire trilogy) to the original DUNE series, which well deserves its place in science fiction history. One of the ways to somewhat neutralize the natural temptation of readers to compare is to delve so far back into the history of DUNE that you are working from an almost clean slate, which is what Andersen and Herbert do with their newest prequel trilogy, set several millennia previous to Dune's world. If it doesn't hold up to the original, how does it stand as its own novel? Th... Read More
The Machine Crusade: Just a lot of concrete
The Machine Crusade by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
As everyone knows by now, this isn't Dune. The first LEGENDS OF DUNE prequel, The Butlerian Jihad, wasn't, nor will The Machine Crusade be. The problem isn't that The Machine Crusade doesn't match up well against Dune, it's that it doesn't match up well against its predecessor, The Butlerian Jihad, which itself was mostly solid rather than excellent. The Machine Crusade is a bit of a step backward for this series.
As in The Butlerian Jihad, characterization continues to be pretty shallow, with several characters once again making transitions of behavior that really haven't been earned by the story. And some characters are simply skimped on.
The ... Read More
The Battle of Corrin: Continues the downward trend
The Battle of Corrin by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
One steps into the LEGENDS OF DUNE series not expecting the achievement of Dune, an unfairly high standard, but a good read with maybe some flashes of Dune's complexity of character, plot, and philosophy. The first book of this trilogy, The Butlerian Jihad, failed in the latter two areas but the plot was a good enough read to overcome those flaws.
The second book, The Machine Crusade, was a step backward, with the same weak characterization, but this time not balanced by a strongly told story. The Battle of Corrin, unfortunately, continues the downward trend. As in the other books, characterization is almost uniformly shallow, which is tough to do since we've followed some of these characters over the course of several long b... Read More
Sisterhood of Dune: Sometimes we should leave well enough alone
Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson
Sisterhood of Dune is the latest installment by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson in the add-ons to Frank Herbert's classic DUNE series. To be honest, I gave up on the series after The Battle of Corrin — the third book in the opening LEGENDS OF DUNE group — after it continued a downward spiral from a solid if not inspiring book one (The Butlerian Jihad). I wish I could say Sisterhood of Dune recaptured my interest, but unfortunately I found many of the same problems that caused me to give up the earlier series.
The human race has won against the machines, but the Butlerians, led by Manford Torondo, are trying to fo... Read More
The Green Brain: Does not achieve the desired result
The Green Brain by Frank Herbert
The Green Brain is one of the novels that Frank Herbert published following the release of Dune. It was first published as a novelette under the title Greenslaves in Amazing Stories in 1965. Apparently the title is a reference to the English folk song Greensleeves. It was released as a novel by Ace Books in 1966. My copy is one in a series of four Frank Herbert titles reissued by Tor in 2002, to coincide with the release of The Butlerian Jihad by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. I read The Green Brain shortly after this publication became available and I think it is the only Frank Herbert book I didn't like when I first read it. This second re... Read More
The Heaven Makers: Short and thoughtful
The Heaven Makers by Frank Herbert
The Chem are a race of aliens unknown to humankind. Because they're immortal, they're bored. So, for entertainment, they broadcast drama TV from Earth. Fraffin is one of the most successful producers of human drama. Authorities from his home planet suspect he may be manipulating events on Earth, which is forbidden, so they send Investigator Kelexel to find out what's going on. But Fraffin has a way of dealing with snoopy investigators. All he has to do is trap them by tempting them with Earth's secret pleasures.
In actuality, Fraffin is indeed interfering with humans and creating his own dramas to boost his ratings. For his current project, which he's been setting up for decades, he incites a well-respected man to brutally butcher his wife. Before being taken to jail, the man asks psychologist Androcles Thurlow to look after his daughter, Ruth, who is Thurlow's ex-fiance. When Thurlow gets involv... Read More
Soul Catcher: Compelling and suspenseful, but repetitive
Soul Catcher by Frank Herbert
Charles Hobuhet, an intelligent doctoral student in anthropology, is a Native American who holds a secret grudge against the Europeans who came to America, not only because of what they did to his race, but also because a group of them raped and killed his sister years ago. When Charles is stung by a bee and thinks he's been given the title of Soul Catcher by the bee's spirit, he believes he's been tasked with a mission that will make the whites finally pay for their crimes. Renaming himself Katsuk, he kidnaps David, the young son of a wealthy high-status government official, and sets out on a journey with the boy — a journey that is supposed to end with the sacrifice of David. Thus David, an innocent boy, will be the payment for the white men's sins.
And these sins are numerous. Not only did the whites steal the land from the natives, but the way they live on the land destroys it and they are oblivious... Read More
The Godmakers: Starts well, then begins to ramble
The Godmakers by Frank Herbert
Frank Herbert's The Godmakers is a novelized collection of four connected stories that first appeared in the pulp magazines between May 1958 and February 1960:
"You Take the High Road" (Astounding Science Fiction, May 1958)
"Missing link" (Astounding Science Fiction, February 1959)
"Operation Haystack" (Astounding Science Fiction, 1959)
"The Priests of Psi" (Fantastic Science Fiction Stories, February 1960)
The story takes place in a far future after humanity has spread to many habitable planets. However, a war has devastated communication between the planets and humans have lost contact with an unknown number of them. An intergalactic governmental agency called Rediscovery & Reeducation (R&R) finds these planets and tries to bring them back into the fold, reeducating as necessary to ensure that they're ...

The Pandora Sequence — (1966-1988) With Bill Ransom. Publisher: Soon after the start, they went mad, the three powerful, disembodiem human brains that should have guided them for the 200-year journey to Tau Ceti. Could they manufacture a replacement before emerging from the Solar System into nothingness? Would the circuits reproduce the characteristics they needed, characteristics like conscience, love and guilt? Or would they end up with a zombie? A monster? A power-crazy fanatic? Or a genius? What they did build was fantastic, unguessable. Yet, looking back, it was always on the cards.
Other novels:
The Dragon in the Sea — (1956) Publisher: In the endless war between East and West, oil has become the ultimate prize. Nuclear-powered subtugs brave enemy waters to tap into hidden oil reserves beneath the East's continental shelf. But the last twenty missions have never returned. Have sleeper agents infiltrated the elite submarine service, or are the crews simply cracking under the pressure? Psychologist John Ramsay has gone undercover aboard a Hell Diver subtug. His mission is to covertly observe the remainder of the four-man crew — and find the traitor among them. Sabotage and suspicion soon plague the mission, as Ramsay discovers that the stress of fighting a war a mile and a half under the ocean exposes every weakness in a man. Hunted relentlessly by the enemy, the four men find themselves isolated in a claustrophobic undersea prison, struggling for survival against the elements… and themselves. A gripping novel by the legendary author of Dune.
The Eyes of Heisenberg — (1966) Publisher: A New World in Embryo. Public Law 10927 was clear and direct. Parents were permitted to watch the genetic alterations of their gametes by skilled surgeons… only no one ever requested it. When Lizbeth and Harvey Durant decided to invoke the Law; when Dr. Potter did not rearrange the most unusual genetic structure of their future son, barely an embryo growing in the State's special vat — the consequences of these decisions threatened to be catastrophic. For never before had anyone dared defy the Rulers' decrees… and if They found out, it was well known that the price of disobedience was the extermination of the human race…
The Santaroga Barrier — (1967) Publisher: Santaroga seemed to be nothing more than a prosperous farm community. But there was something… different… about Santaroga. Santaroga had no juvenile delinquency, or any crime at all. Outsiders found no house for sale or rent in this valley, and no one ever moved out. No one bought cigarettes in Santaroga. No cheese, wine, beer or produce from outside the valley could be sold there. The list went on and on and grew stranger and stranger. Maybe Santaroga was the last outpost of American individualism. Maybe they were just a bunch of religious kooks… Or maybe there was something extraordinary at work in Santaroga. Something far more disturbing than anyone could imagine.
Whipping Star — (1970) Publisher: In the far future, humankind has made contact with numerous other species: Gowachin, Laclac, Wreaves, Pan Spechi, Taprisiots, and Caleban, and has helped to form the ConSentiency to govern among the species. After suffering under a tyrannous pure democracy, the sentients of the galaxy find the need for a Bureau of Sabotage (BuSab) to slow the wheels of government, thereby preventing it from legislating recklessly. BuSab is allowed to sabotage and harass the governmental, administrative, and economic powers in the ConSentiency. Private citizens must not be harassed, and vital functions of society are also exempt. Jorj X. McKie is a born troublemaker who has become one of BuSab's best agents. Drafted for the impossible task of establishing meaningful communication with an utterly alien entity who defies understanding, McKie finds himself racing against time to prevent a mad billionairess from wiping out all life in the ConSentiency.
Hellstrom's Hive — (1973) Publisher: America is a police state, and it is about to be threatened by the most hellish enemy in the world: insects. When the Agency discovered that Dr. Hellstrom's Project 40 was a cover for a secret laboratory, a special team of agents was immediately dispatched to discover its true purpose and its weaknesses — it could not be allowed to continue. What they discovered was a nightmare more horrific and hideous than even their paranoid government minds could devise. First published in Galaxy magazine in 1973 as "Project 40," Frank Herbert's vivid imagination and brilliant view of nature and ecology have never been more evident than in this classic of science fiction.
The Dosadi Experiment — (1977) Publisher: Beyond the God Wall. Generations of a tormented human-alien people, caged on a toxic planet, conditioned by constant hunger and war — this is the Dosadi Experiment, and it has succeeded too well. For the Dosadi have bred for Vengeance as well as cunning, and they have learned how to pass through the shimmering God Wall to exact their dreadful revenge on the Universe that created them…
Direct Descent — (1980) Publisher: Earth has become a library planet for thousands of years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledge — esoterica of all types, history, science, politics — gathered by teams of "pack rats" who scour the galaxy for any scrap of information. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and knowledge can be a weapon. As powerful dictators come and go over the course of history, the cadre of dedicated librarians is sworn to obey the lawful government… and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledge they have collected over the millennia.
The White Plague — (1982) Publisher: What if women were an endangered species? It begins in Ireland, but soon spreads throughout the entire world: a virulent new disease expressly designed to target only women. As fully half of the human race dies off at a frightening pace and life on Earth faces extinction, panicked people and governments struggle to cope with the global crisis. Infected areas are quarantined or burned to the ground. The few surviving women are locked away in hidden reserves, while frantic doctors and scientists race to find a cure. Anarchy and violence consume the planet. The plague is the work of a solitary individual who calls himself the Madman. As government security forces feverishly hunt for the renegade scientist, he wanders incognito through a world that will never be the same. Society, religion, and morality are all irrevocably transformed by the White Plague.
Man of Two Worlds — (1986) With Brian Herbert. Publisher: On the distant planet Dreenor lives the most powerful species in the Galaxy. All of the Universe is the creation of the Dreens, who possess the power of "idmaging", turning their throughts into reality. They can create whole worlds, of which the wild, ungovernable planet Earth is one. But suddenly Earth is a threat, its people on the verge of discovering interstellar travel, and with it, of gaining access to Dreenor itself — a paradox within a paradox, not to be permitted. While the elder Dreens plan Earth's destruction, a youngster, Ryll, embarks on an unauthorised jaunt across space. Forced for survival to merge bodies with an Earther whose mind is as strong as his own, he has to battle for control. And the future of all earthly life lies in the hand of a composite being, half wily, aggressive human, half naive adolescent alien, confused and far from home.
High-Opp — (2012) Publisher: A never-before-published novel by Frank Herbert, author of the international bestseller DUNE. EMASI – Each Man A Separate Individual! That is the rallying cry of the Seps, the Separatists engaged in a class war against the upper tiers of a society driven entirely by opinion polls. Those who score high in the polls, the High-Opps, live in plush apartments, with comfortable jobs, every possible convenience. But those who happen to be low-opped, find themselves crowded in Warrens, with harsh lives and brutal conditions. Daniel Movius, Ex-Senior Liaitor, rides high in the opinion polls until he becomes a casualty, brushed aside by a very powerful man. Low-opped and abandoned, Movius finds himself fighting for survival in the city's underworld. There, the opinion of the masses is clear: It is time for a revolution against the corrupt super-privileged. And every revolution needs a leader.

Nevada is at the top of the list for voter turnout in last week's presidential election.
Nearly 44,000 more Nevadans voted this year than in 2008. That's a 4.5 percent increase, which is the highest in the nation.
The Washoe County registrar of voters said the increase is due in part to Nevada being a battleground state.
"Here in Washoe County and in Nevada we just had such interest in this election from beginning to end, because our state was in play most of the time," Washoe County Registrar of Voters Dan Burk said. "Nobody knew exactly who was going to take the presidency here."
Burk said more than 188,000 people voted in Washoe County this election, which is the highest turnout the county has ever seen. 78 percent of registered voters in Washoe County cast their ballots, compared to an average of about 60 percent nationally.
Candidates courting Nevada voters spent a lot of resources on advertising, and paid the area a lot of visits, which generated more awareness of the election overall. Burk said that translated into voter turnout at the polls.
But he said it's also Nevada's two full weeks of early voting that allow voters with unusual hours to get their ballots cast.
"Here in the state of Nevada and here in Washoe County too, people have really enjoyed the two weeks of early voting and the convenience of it," Burk said, "and we're going to continue to trend in that direction."
Burk said about 60 percent of voters in Washoe County cast their ballot early, and more than one million people voted overall in Nevada, setting a new state record.

Patent Licensing in a Mixed Oligopoly with a Foreign Firm
AbstractThis paper investigates optimal licensing in a mixed oligopoly with a foreign firm. It is the first to compare licensing by means of a fixed fee and by means of a royalty when the innovator is a public firm. In contrast to a private oligopoly, we show that license via a fixed fee is superior to license via a royalty for the innovator.

Hot 100 Update
I was reminded of this story after reading Shelley's post about her husband and dinner prep. Bick did the grocery shopping on Monday night. On my list was written winter squash. He came home from work/grocery store and announced that the grocery store didn't have any winter squash - all they had was butternut, acorn and hubbard. Cracked me right up.
I came home from work early today after leading a meeting for a regional group of which I am the prez. I'm been awake since 3am and I am worn out. Lucky for me, I prepped tonight's dinner last night (Pebbles and Slater are dropping by (the dog) and having dinner before heading up to Tulsa). Double lucky for me (especially after reading Shelley's post) that Bick didn't decide it would make a nice treat for him!
Hot 100 Update
1. Didn't meet my exercise goals this week. Can still add two more sessions by Sunday. Will try for that.
2. Wedding spending in check. Did well here. Bought a pashmina in her wedding color to go with my dress at Nordstrom Rack. $10.00. I've spent a total of $35.00 on my outfit and I think I'm done with it.
3. 155/151.5/145 Weight progressing - although I had no options at lunch and it was more carby than I would like. It's been my experience that I'll bounce up hard, even though I didn't technically overeat today. My body is just that touchy.
Take good care of yourself. Be kind to others. Keep chasing those goals until you catch them.

He tried. :) I'm not sure my husband would interpret that correctly either.ReplyDelete
Sounds like you have it all under control. Yippee.
Funny, alright.ReplyDelete
You are a little gem.
I am laughing out loud at your post, Roxie - thanks for the shout out, and too funny on the winter squash!ReplyDelete
That Bick is a hoot! And you are some shopper. What color is the pash?ReplyDelete
When you get down here, we're most definately going to Fadi's! They have great bread so we'll both have to low carb it for a few days!
I've been known to go to bed at 3 am, but getting up...not so much. Here's a hubby story. My husband thought for the longest time that I put zucchini in our salad when it was cucumbers. ??? I said why would I put raw zucchini in our salad. He said "I don't know, thought it was a chick thing" men.ReplyDelete
Have a great night.
Awed with your smart shopping for the wedding. Have a great weekend.ReplyDelete

A cross-eyed arsonist, Andrew Burls, who set fire to an underwear shop during last summer's London riots was caught after police recognised his distinctive eyes on CCTV footage.
The 23 year-old admitted starting the blaze in the Peckham store, south east London, which caused almost £1million damage and left several people homeless.
Despite efforts to disguise himself, detectives identified Burls, who was said to "go cross-eyed under stress", after he left his eyes visible above a scarf wrapped around his face.
The alleged offences took place on Monday August 8 at commercial and residential buildings in Rye Lane. The fire, which started at Regens Lingerie Boutique in Rye Lane just after 7.30pm before spreading to a Post Office branch, other businesses and residential flats.
All the buildings eventually collapsed, causing almost a £1million damage. Ten residents were displaced as a result of the fire and a small number were treated for the effects of smoke inhalation. No-one was seriously injured.
The thug, from Peckham, initially denied setting fire to the premises. But officers arrested him at his home, not far from the scene, on October 24 after sifting through hours of CCTV footage.
Acting Detective Sergeant Jim Woods, from Southwark Police, said: "You can see on the video that he is cross-eyed. It was one of the strands I used to identify him."
Burls at first denied arson but changed his plea to guilty at Inner London Crown Court after police found evidence to prove an alibi was false. No further details were tendered.
Burls, who was remanded to remain in Brixton Prison, will be sentenced to two counts of "arson, being reckless as to whether life was endangered" and a further charge of burglary. Another two counts of burglary are to lie on file.
He will be sentenced later this month.

Although this behavior was described as business as usual in Washington — if you want to get something done, you just bribe Senators and Congress-people to vote for it — some of the donors to Zuckerberg's lobbying group, FWD.us, may not have seen it that way.
The way they might have seen it was that their money was being used to support policies and politicians that they disagreed with.
Then, this week, the Sierra Club, Move.org, and other organizations announced that they would be pulling their advertising from Facebook as a result of the lobbying group's tactics.
And now, Kara Swisher of All Things D reports, two influential Silicon Valley supporters of FWD.us, Tesla founder Elon Musk and Yammer founder David Sacks, have withdrawn their support.
Responding to Swisher's story, Om Malik, another influential Silicon Valley journalist and venture capitalist, called on Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Kleiner Perkins partner John Doerr, and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman to follow Musk and Sacks out the door.
Yesterday, Jim Breyer, a Facebook board member and venture capitalist at Accel Partners, reiterated his support for the group. But, so far, FWD.us' attempts to defend itself have largely fallen on deaf ears.
And it seems that, however well-intentioned the lobbying effort might have been, it is beginning to fall apart.

There is no difference between the two sentences. They mean exactly the same. "To go" is slightly more formal - but "a load of traffic" is very informal!! Better to say "a lot of traffic"

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

By STEPHANIE BEECKEN6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - After month-long negotiations, the City of Knoxville entered a settlement agreement Wednesday with a homeless man whose arrest last year resulted in accusations of excessive force on the part of the Knoxville Police Department.
Cullen Wojcik, attorney for Michael Mallicoat, says his client is "happy the city took the case seriously and settled with a considerable amount of money." City officials say the case was settled for $200,000.
Three former officers took plea deals in court after the February 2013 incident which was captured on dashcam video.
In that incident, two female officers arrested Mallicoat after he was reported to be disoriented and yelling while taking his clothes off in the middle of the street.
After handcuffing him, the officers said Mallicoat continued to fight back and they called for back-up.
Several neighbors told 6 News that once Mallicoat was on the ground and handcuffed, male officers kicked him multiple times and threw him against the hood of a police cruiser.
KPD suspended officers Jeremy Jinnett, Ty Compton, and Chris Whitfield. All three later resigned and took one-year sentences in exchange for each pleading guilty to one misdemeanor assault charge and one felony charge of official oppression.
Mallicoat's attorney says his client still has some permanent physical injuries. He says the event also emotionally scarred Mallicoat and he is doing his best to move on with his life.
"Mallicoat is happy to have this behind
him. He hopes the city and police department learns from this and they take what
happened to him into account with future training, supervision, and
discipline of officers," said Wojcik.
The city had no comment on the settlement.

B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a small protein secreted by the ventricles of the heart in response to excessive stretching of the heart muscles cells (myocytes). BNP is secreted into the blood when your heart is working hard.
The level of BNP is elevated in people with heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction. B-type natriuretic peptide blood levels correlate with both the severity of symptoms and the prognosis in congestive heart failure.
This blood test is a useful marker of heart disease risk, even in people with no clinical evidence of cardiovascular disease. High blood levels of BNP predict the risk for heart failure, first cardiovascular events, atrial fibrillation, and stroke.
You can check your B-type natriuretic peptide blood level with or without fasting. Take all medications as prescribed. Do not take your supplements the morning of the test. This test is not included in any other Life Extension blood test panel.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke will need surgery to repair his broken left collarbone, and the team says he is expected to return in eight weeks.
Greinke was hurt Thursday night when San Diego's Carlos Quentin charged the mound after he was hit on the arm by a pitch.
The Dodgers say that Greinke was examined Friday by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles and had a CT scan. ElAttrache and Dr. John Itamura will operate Saturday at White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles to place a rod in the clavicle to stabilize and align the fracture.
Greinke, the 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner, signed a $147 million, six-year contract with the Dodgers during the offseason.
