Russia election: Hundreds rally against Putin in Moscow
Several thousand people have taken to the streets of Moscow shouting "Down with Putin" as international observers in Russia's parliamentary elections speak of flagrant violations.
Some scuffles were reported and Russian police said they had detained more than 300 protesters.
The OSCE says the vote was slanted in favour of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's party, United Russia.
President Dmitry Medvedev insisted the election had been fair and democratic.
However, a White House spokesman, Jay Carney, expressed "serious concerns".
United Russia won the election, but with a sharp drop in its support, ahead of Mr Putin's bid to return to the presidency next March.
Electoral officials said the party had just under 50%, down from 64% in 2007.
United Russia lost 77 seats, in a vote which is being seen as a popularity test for Mr Putin.
The OSCE noted apparent manipulations in the conduct of the election, such as the stuffing of ballot boxes.'Crooks and thieves'
On Monday night, several thousand people protested in central Moscow against PM Vladimir Putin, and demanded honest elections.
They denounced the vote as shameful, and shouted "Russia without Putin!" and "Revolution!"
Correspondents say it appeared to be one of the biggest opposition demonstrations in central Moscow in years.
Police said they detained more than 300 people protesting against Mr Putin and his party, United Russia.
"They are a party of crooks and thieves," said popular anti-corruption blogger Alexei Navalny, who was one of those arrested in Moscow.
Mr Navalny later put out a tweet saying he was "sitting in a [police] bus" and photos were posted of him, apparently being held at a police station.
About 100 opposition protesters were detained in Russia's second city, St Petersburg, after holding an unauthorised rally on the main avenue, Nevsky Prospekt.'Like a game'
Reading a communique, an official from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) said the election had in general been "well organised" but there were severe problems with the counting process.
"The contest was also slanted in favour of the ruling party, the election administration lacked independence, most media were partial and state authorities interfered unduly at different levels," said Petros Efthymiou.
Another observer, Heidi Tagliavini, said the elections had suffered because several opposition parties were barred from taking part.
"To me, this election was like a game in which only some players are allowed to compete," she said.
The OSCE report prompted US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to express "serious concerns" about the conduct of the election.
Vladimir Putin is facing a slump in popularity that he has not experienced since the Kursk submarine disaster of 2000.
There are still many in Russia who do not blame him for the rampant corruption and the stagnant economy.
But he is the leader of United Russia, and support for the party has fallen significantly in these Duma elections, which inevitably reflects badly on him.
Opposition parties have also complained of violations.
The Communist Party said it was preparing to challenge the "absolutely illegitimate" result in court, the RIA news agency said.
Russia's only independent monitoring group, Golos, says it has logged 5,300 complaints alleging violations.Embarrassment
Electoral Commission head Vladimir Churov said United Russia should have a slim majority, with 238 seats out of 450.
This would mean the party losing its current two-thirds majority which had allowed it to change the constitution unchallenged.
Mr Churov said the Communist Party was in second place with 19.2% of the vote, giving it 92 seats.
United Russia's slim Duma majority
The Duma has 450 seats. Parties not making the Duma's 5% threshold: Yabloko, 3.3%, Patriots of Russia 0.97%, Right Cause 0.59%
Source: Electoral Commission. Results are based on 96% of the vote. Turnout was 60%.
A Just Russia was in third place with 13.2% and 64 seats, and the nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) had 11.7% and 56, he added.
The BBC's Steve Rosenberg, in Moscow, says that, if confirmed, the result will be a significant embarrassment to Mr Putin, three months before he is scheduled to run again for the Russian presidency.
But President Medvedev, who headed the United Russia party list, said that despite the slump in its vote, he was looking forward to working with the new parliament.
"A tragedy has not taken place," he said.
"On the contrary, in my view, everything is quite decent and respectable.
"I for one am glad that we shall have a merrier parliament because we understand that truth can emerge only from a debate."
Mr Putin served as president from 2000 to 2008 but was prohibited by the constitution from running for a third consecutive term.

Kim Kardashian and Elizabeth Taylor, Two Women Wholl Never Apologize for Their Success
There are many comparisons that can be drawn between Kim Kardashian and the late Elizabeth Taylor. Don't misunderstand us, it's not because they both have Academy Award statues adorning their mantles Disaster Movie (2008) is no BUtterfield 8 (1960), after all. It's that they're two women who enjoy life's spoils romance, fashion, beauty, and bling and don't apologize for it.
By Lauren Valenti
The Fashion
During her heyday, Taylor helped make fur synonymous with Hollywood glamour. These days, Kardashian gets flak for dressing in fur, but that doesn't stop her from sporting a wealth of sumptuous skins.
Here, Kardashian hit Kanye West's fashion show in Paris wearing a fox fur shawl, while Taylor poses for a portrait wrapped in an ivory number in 1955.

There are many a-reason to read, at length, Emily Bell's recent lecture to the Reuters Institute of Journalism.
It is here.
And what follows comes from a proudly local take on the trials and tribulations of journalism's great and good – a gathering that I briefly joined back in Oxford in January, 2010, when I joined A Rusbridger, S Bailey, H Boaden and S Purvis to discuss the future of local news in the UK at GMG's Oxford Media Convention.
At a time when the Guardian did local – as championed and inspired by Ms Bell.
The line that stood out, in particular, from Emily's latest thinking was this one: 'From Paul Reuter through to John Reith, at the BBC, the pioneers of journalism were also pioneers of communications technology.
'Today however we have reached a point of transition where news spaces are no longer owned by newsmakers. The press is no longer in charge of the free press and has lost control of the main conduits through which stories reach audiences. The public sphere is now operated by a small number of private companies, based in Silicon Valley…'
Point being that 'the Press' no longer own the presses upon which communication with the masses was once founded upon – be it in the content sense or, as importantly, in the commercial sense; that the local newspaper was the only show in town when it came to marketing your wares.
Clearly the onset of the web threw such a fruitful local monopoly out of the nearest window. It turned everyone's world upside down as we all became publishers – first of the written word and then, increasingly, the video word. Self publishers became self broadcasters. And the Googles, the Facebooks and the YouTubes reaped the benefit.
They 'owned' our journey through the web – and built their business models accordingly; raking in vast fortunes as the near-monopoly providers when it came to the business of search.
'The fourth estate, which liked to think that it operated in splendid isolation from other systems of money and power, has slipped suddenly and conclusively into a world where it no longer owns the means of production, or controls the routes to distribution.'
So much for the web. A battle lost.
But for me, mobile offers one, final chance for journalism to get its act together and ally with the engineers of this world… And all before Google and Facebook get a chance to command our attention and sway our emotions news-wise.
Because if the future is, indeed, video-led over a mobile device that is going to demand a new level of connectivity. Be it 3G or 4G, wifi or wireless, to get to watch a YouTube video seamlessly on my mobile I am going to have to go through someone's 'door' to get there.
And in at least one Norfolk village, I own that door. Not Google. Not Facebook.
I paid – or rather Nesta and their DestinationLocal project – for three church towers to be lit up with a high-speed broadband connection that then delivered the back-haul required to power a free wifi install off the chimney of our old family house overlooking Church Plain car park.
Now, if you want to watch your YouTube vids, your latest news from Vice… You have to knok on my door first. I am the gatekeeper. I 'own' the means of news distribution in a mobile-video age.
Do I want to pay BT for access to their local FON? Er, no… Nor you Sky. In one, small village, everyone will come to Rick's.
I command their attention for one, fleeting moment. I am being useful; I am serving my community in a way that all local newspapers traditionally aspire to.
In the same way that a paper boy would save you the hassle of getting your news via a trip to the local newsagents, so I will bring all the 'news' that really matters to you into the palm of your hand. Even if that 'news' is a video of a dog called Fenton.
But in return for that I get to control the first time you see an ad. Above the portal doorway. Just as there is an ad space above this blog.
I control what appears there; just as if I built a news app for the village of Loddon so I could ensure that that news app was the only one that was promoted on the portal home page… before you disappeared to play on your Facebook app.
And because part of that free wifi deal is you delivering me your location …
To the nearest 150m… I can now deliver you a 'Message' from the local Co-Op, that I can contextualise to your geographic location, your location within the app experience and, increasingly, to you as an individual. If I start to know that you have high cholesterol, then have a fresh fruit and veg offer from the local, socially responsible retailer… And not a discount 'donut' offer from a GroupOn.
And in that whole process, there is not a Google or Facebook algorithm to be seen.
We're not that clever. But then I was never an engineer. I was always, and remain, just a local journalist.
If I was an Archant or a JP, or a Chicago Sun-Times pondering a move back into local-national, that's what I'd do. Invest in infrastructure, not algorithms.
Reclaim your traditional ownership of the means of news production in a mobile-video age. And split the cost with the local authority. Like you, they are desperate to reconnect with their communities in a mobile space and setting.
Together you could even do something new around planning alerts…

After causing a stir earlier this month by labeling West Coast rapper Lil B the "wackest" hip-hop artist ever, Game has had a change of heart.
Hitting up Twitter, Game has now given the title to former Roc-A-Fella rapper Memphis Bleek.
"@LILBTHEBASEDGOD go cop dat @thegame RED – Lil B – Based god is a stand up mothaf*cka 4 dat. Just 4 dat, Memphis Bleek da wackest rapper now," he tweeted August 26th.
"@LILBTHEBASEDGOD Real N*ggas Do Real Things – lil g" (Game's Twitter)
Last week, Lil B responded to Game giving him the "wackest" title.
"Game's talking about me, but right now, and I respect Game," Lil B told paparazzi this week as he entered a car. "I got [Game's] Live From Compton 2 [album], so Game already know, you're a legend in my book. But he's irrelevnat. Based God!" (Bad Luv TV)
Earlier the same week, Game said a Lil Wayne collabo made him the wackest rapper of all time.
"Number one, wackest rapper of all-time," Game said in an interview. "This is crazy, man. The wackest rapper. Lil B. Lil B. Yeah, he gotta get it because I heard him on [Lil] Wayne's, I heard him on [Wayne's] Sorry 4 The Wait and that was it. I couldn't — that was it. I never really heard anything else that I can even remember to call it wack but I remember I heard that and that's what it was. So, like, Lil B." (Vlad TV)
A few years ago, Game broke down his issues with Memphis Bleek.
"[The beef with Memphis Bleek has] since been deaded too," Game added. "Ty Ty from Roc-A-Fella, I sat down with him in Miami, and he told me that Bleek wasn't on that type of stuff, and that Bleek really never beefs with nobody. I thought about it and couldn't understand why I was airing him out, so I just did the Bleek thing and the whole Joe Buddens, little Bang 'Em Smurf thing going, Yukmouth thing going … So I just added Bleek in there 'cause that stemmed from my old beef that I had with the 'Get Low' dudes. 'Cause [years ago], I was out in San Francisco, they had [a crew out there called] 'Get Low,' Bleek had 'Get Low,' some constant underground beef, so I just brought it back up and addressed it, 'cause I was beefing with other cats. That's when I made the '200 Bars.' I set the standards real high on that one. Ten minutes! Rock with me." (MTV)

Darts Dubai
On a reader's tip, we get into Dubai's heady darts scene... 2 Comments
On screen, a dangerously overweight man in a Hawaiian shirt is pretending to be an aeroplane. This is his victory lap. We can only presume he's hit a double-bull, the red spot at the centre of the dartboard, or a triple-20. I'm not entirely sure what this means yet, but judging from the devastated expression on the equally bloated and beery face of his adversary, it's safe to say he's top of his game right now.
Darts isn't high on the list of the world's sexiest sports. There are (let's be honest here) no real celebrity darts players. It's a game that most people reserve for pub Olympics and, in the UK, a world often associated with sizeable guts, polo shirts and disastrous facial hair.
Yet I'm keen to find out what Dubai's darts scene has to offer. Following a reader's letter we received a few weeks ago enquiring about tournaments taking place in the city in the new year, I called up a representative of the Dubai Darts League, whose bounding enthusiasm was so infectious that we decided to give it a whirl ourselves.
On his advice, I got in touch with Ibrahim Abdul Karim, the man alleged to have sold the first dartboards in the UAE. With this feat under his belt, Ibrahim is the de facto captain of the darts team he takes us to meet in Bur Dubai. In 'training' for the start of the new league, which kicks off on January 10, Karim's crew of 10 is made up entirely of UAE nationals who, I'm told, meet to brush up on their feather-throwing several times a week.
As befits the very social slant of darts, I'm instantly welcomed and treated to a display of several highly competitive games between members of the team. 'Darts has been huge here for almost 30 years,' says Ibrahim, holding his feathers in one hand and a mug of black tea in the other. 'It was big business in the '80s. We've hosted world tournaments here for police officers – around 30 US players came over here for that a few years ago. And every week there would be tournaments up at the Jebel Ali Hotel.'
These days the league is operated at Al Nasr Leisureland and has an impressive roster of 140 players from Dubai's various communities. Ibrahim insists that the social draw of the sport is what keeps people coming back and it's easy to get on a team even as a solo player. He's also insistent of the popularity of the sport among locals, explaining that one of Dubai's sheikhs heads up a team in the league.
After watching a few games, I'm keen to give it a bash. Instantly Ibrahim notes my slightly off-kilter forearm stance. 'Don't try to go for numbers at first; just warm up with bullseyes until you feel comfortable.' A few hapless flings later and Ibrahim steps in with pointers. But I don't get much chance to put his tips to the test, as another game kicks off on this hotly contested board and I'm politely booted off.
But while darts may still be darts, the immediate appeal of getting into the league here remains its social side. In contrast to the perceived exclusivity of a number of Dubai's sports leagues, this is very much an open, inclusive game with a good mix of nationalities involved. So, after a few more games of 'Mickey Mouse' (players have to eliminate each of the high numbers on the board in triplicate, designed for training purposes only, I'm told), I head out, content with the memory of having been taught to play darts by a man in a dishdasha.
Time Out Dubai,

Throwing darts is an exacting skill, and it doesn't matter the shape or dress sense of the participant. other sports have their eccentics too such as Djibril Cisse ( soccer )for example.
The fact is you don't have to be fit to be accurate. I'm no big darts fan but i can tell slanted sarcasm when i see it.
I'd like to know more about the venues and how friendly the members were etc.
I had a great night a while ago playing against and watching locals play darts in a bar in the Habtoor Grand. ( marina )
It's a great social sport please don't judge it on the basis that most (not all)of the great champions happen to be overweight

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins has easily defeated a tea party challenger in the Republican primary in the 2nd District of eastern Kansas.
Jenkins defeated challenger Joshua Joel Tucker in Tuesday's primary.
Jenkins is a 51-year-old former two-term state treasurer who's seeking her fourth, two-year term in the House. She's the vice chairwoman of the House Republican caucus, the fifth-ranking GOP leader in the chamber.
She'll face Democrat and Lawrence attorney Margie Wakefield in the November election.
Tucker is a 31-year-old Pittsburg State University employee who had campaign business cards saying, "The Constitution is my Special Interest."
Through late July, Tucker had raised less than $10,000 for his campaign, while Jenkins raised nearly $475,000 in July alone.

Fracking on the rise in Manitoba
Not as dirty as American kin, but oil well regulation lacking
MANITOBANS could soon know a little more about some of the environmentally-worrisome effects of fracking in the province's booming oilpatch.
The province is working on a series of new regulations that would require oil companies to report the type and amount of fracking chemicals used in each oil well. That information would become part of a plain-language, searchable online database available to all Manitobans.
Digging Into fracking
FRACKING has been going on in the province for years, though most Manitobans consider it an American phenomenon, one whose environmental worries don't apply here.
Those worries include the amount of freshwater used for fracking and the fate of the briny water unleashed when oil is extracted.
The province says each frack job uses between 400 and 700 cubic metres of freshwater, about what a family of four uses in a year.
But there are between 18 and 28 fracks conducted on the average horizontal well, depending on its length.
In total, Manitoba's oil industry used an estimated 600-million litres of freshwater last year. That's about half the water used by the town of Virden last year, according to the province.
The trouble is much of that water is not recycled or added back into the province's freshwater stores. Instead, the waste water is injected deep underground, far below the aquifer, in old, unused wells.
— source: Innovation, Energy and Mines
The province is also reviewing how other jurisdictions ensure drinking water isn't contaminated by nearby oil wells, how to better track how much fresh groundwater and surface water is used in fracking and where that water comes from.
"We think we have very good rules," said John Fox, assistant deputy minister of the mineral resources division of Manitoba Innovation, Energy and Mines. "There are certainly public issues, and we want to make sure we have the information that we can assure the public so their concerns are addressed."
Though it's a huge environmental issue south of the border, fracking has been under the radar for most Manitobans, even green-minded ones.
Fracking, a relatively new technology, involves pumping a mixture of water, chemicals and sand down a well at high pressure to fracture the surrounding rock, loosening oil or gas deposits that are then sucked up to the surface.
Manitoba's small, conventional oil industry dates back decades, but the first horizontal well, the kind most commonly associated with fracking, was only drilled a little more than 20 years ago.
Multi-stage fracking, where the fluid is blasted 20 or 30 times into a horizontal well, section by section, has been on the go for about five years. In that time, the province has seen a huge spike in oil production in Manitoba's corner of the large Bakken oil field; the one that brought the oil boom to North Dakota.
Much of the concern about fracking in the United States — contaminated aquifers, the disposal of toxic waste water, even earthquakes — has been the result of shale gas fracking, which involves a much more extensive process than used for oil.
There is no natural gas production yet in the province, though Manitoba has significant shale gas deposits in southwestern Manitoba. Geological surveys on those deposits are now underway. Low natural gas prices make it economically unattractive to begin natural gas production for now.
Still, Manitoba's fracking is significant and growing. There are well over 3,600 active oil wells in the province and most of them use fracking.
Environmental activists say fracking poses a risk to groundwater, threatens to deplete local freshwater sources and causes toxic byproducts, including the briny water pumped up with the oil. And, though industry is beginning to voluntarily disclose the chemicals that make up the fracking fluid, it's traditionally been difficult to tally those additives, which are designed to reduce friction, stabilize clay and control the Ph levels in the fracking process.
Fox said Manitoba is looking at creating a Manitoba version of the FracFocus website now in use in the United States and British Columbia. It helps convert highly-technical fracking information into a more searchable, user-friendly, plain language that allows the public to access a list of fracking chemicals, well-by-well.
A final decision about FracFocus could be made by year-end, with implementation next year.
The way fracking is regulated and reported now in Manitoba, environmental consultant Gaile Whelan Enns said it's difficult to gather a true picture of the environmental effects, including what exactly is added to fracking fluid, where the freshwater comes from and what happens to the waste.
She also said, while new regulations are worthwhile, they require stiff penalties and enough staff to properly inspect and enforce the rules. The province has traditionally stumbled when it comes to enforcement, she said, which is particularly worrisome in a province as reliant on clean water as Manitoba.
"We are a province of water and therefore we are a province of water challenges and risks," said Whelan Enns, director of Manitoba Wildlands.
Fox said the province is looking at whether to implement water-well testing near proposed oil wells, to have a water-quality baseline against which any contamination can be measured. Regulators are also studying whether to better collect data on the source and amount of freshwater used in the fracking process.
Fox said there has never been an incident in Manitoba where fracking fluid has contaminated ground water aquifers.

What's New in Version 10.0.2GarageBand 10 was introduced alongside OS X Mavericks last October and was part of a significant shift in Apple's business model that saw all iLife and iWork apps for iOS and Mac devices become free for customers purchasing new devices. While the basic GarageBand app for Mac is a free download [Mac App Store], additional content such as virtual drummers, lessons, sounds, and loops are part of a $4.99 in-app purchase package due to licensing costs associated with the content.
- Improves stability and addresses a number of minor issues
- Adds the option to export songs as an MP3
- Contains multiple enhancements to Accessibility
- Includes 3 new Drummers and drum kits from the rock, songwriter, and R&B genres*
*Part of the one-time in-app purchase that includes the complete set of GarageBand sounds, loops, and drummers, as well as access to the GarageBand Lesson Store.

- Adds the option to export songs as an MP3
It couldn't already do this? What the . . . ?
Bottom line, if you just want to knock some ideas out on your Mac, there's nothing better. If you want to learn to use a DAW and start recording music, there's not a better place to start IMO.
It couldn't already do this? What the . . . ?
I think that feature was removed in the new version.
Is this a new marketing strategy of Apple? Dropping basic features and then adding them back in a future version, claiming this to be a terrific update…?
(Same thing with calendar synching via iTunes instead of iCloud)...
So is this a new thing?? Apple removing features, only to introduce them as new features again..
Nah, it's been going on for a number of years. Backlit keyboard removed from MBA, then reintroduced, for one. I'd like to think that Apple react to people's complaints, and if there's enough justification, they'll reintroduce a feature. :D :apple:
And to answer someone else's issue with the "in-app purchase" avenue... Apple does the in-app purchase for the extras because of licensing and royalties they have to pay for the loops and samples. That's their way of keeping GarageBand free in the AppStore, but having the option to gain more content. In all honesty, the Drummer alone, if it were a stand-alone plug-in, could easily go for $500.
I am a drummer. I record my own drums thru mics, so no need to pay for drum sets.
Yes, but the drummers in Garage Band don't drink your beer, hit on your girlfriend, not show up when they are supposed to and can actually keep accurate time.
(Not saying this applies to you, but most of the drummers I've worked with.)
Not sure what you're referring to. AU plug-ins and all that were always in there. It was just rearranged. It's actually better because each instrument/amp/guitar whatever now has its own interface.
Audio Unit effects are there, but not all the other effects that used to come with Garageband. Any extra effects included in the presets can't be edited. They dumbed down the effects part of the program.
The user leonie in that thread shows how it's done with a screenshot.
I was able to confirm I was able to run some of my payware softsynths. Same goes for effects.
The only things that won't run are items that are 32-bit.
So check your vendor and make sure you can get a 64-bit version and try the tips here and see.

Tapered form CONCEPT BEHIND FORM Tapered form Because of space constraints caused by the tower's tapering walls, common hallways and elevator lobbies are narrower on higher floors. MULTIFUNCTIONAL • Just like Marina City, the John Hancock Center is a multifunction building. • It includes 48 stories of apartments (with a total of 711 apartments), 29 stories offices, shops, a hotel, a swimming pool, an ice rink, restaurant and on top of the 344 meters (1127 ft) tall building radio and television facilities. • On top it offers services like its own post office and a refuse collection. • Apartments are located on the top. • Some of them are so high that the inhabitants sometimes have to call the doorkeeper to ask what the weather's like down on the ground, as the apartments are sometimes above the clouds. Height comparison CRITICISM • At the beginning of the project, it was controversial mostly because of the location of this massive tower, near the much smaller and more gentle buildings on Michigan Avenue. • After its completion, most of the criticism dwindled, but much like with the Sears Tower, the plaza at the entrance was considered very user- unfriendly, being afflicted by heavy gales and loud traffic noise from Michigan Avenue. • It was redesigned in 1995 and now includes a 3,5 meters high fountain to muffle the noise and a recirculation of office and shopping traffic. Fountain view STRUCTURE • X-braces used in the façade. • The construction was designed by the engineer Fazlur Kahn and architect Bruce Graham from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Fazlur Kahn devised the frame-tube system, which he also implemented in the sears tower. • This new construction method was made possible by new technologies, like more advanced software and new developments in steel. Diagonal shaped braces • New construction method, made possible for Kahn to design constructions which could resist the strong windforces more effectively by having the forces absorbed by all three dimensions of the building. • The diagonals are connected to the exterior columns, making if possible for the forces to be carried over from the braces to the columns and back. • The innovative construction also resulted in a 50% decrease of required steel compared to skyscrapers built with interior columns. • The huge X-braces serving both a structural and a visual purpose. • Visually, it gives the impression of stability and it moves the eye away from the human-sized windows. Night view • The external crossbracing also conveniently freed up the interior space from columns, allowing for flexible office arrangements. • The John Hancock weighs in at a mere 29.7 lb/sq. foot (although it uses a total of 46,000 tons of steel). This allowed it to be constructed for the cost of a conventional 45-story. • One of the most famous buildings of the structural expressionist style, the skyscraper's distinctive X-bracing exterior is actually a hint that the structure's skin is indeed part of its 'tubular system'. • This X-bracing allows for both higher performance from tall structures and the ability to open up the inside floorplan (and usable floor space) if the architect desires. FEATURES AND AMENITIES • Doorman is available • Exercise facility is available • Hospitality room is available • Laundry room is available • Observation floor is available • One of the city's famous buildings • Plaza is available to the public • Public parking is available • Sky lobby is present • Swimming pool is available • Transmission antenna on roof ACHIEVEMENTS • Recognized around the world for its distinctive architecture, prestigious location and presence on Chicago's skyline. • JOHN HANCOCK CENTER has won numerous awards for its innovative and iconic style, including the Distinguished Architects 25-Year Award from the American Institute of Architects. • John Hancock Center is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers.

"Unsentimental yet elegant...with ease [The Sojourn] joins the ranks of other significant works of fiction portraying World War I -- Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front or Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms."
— Library Journal (starred review)
Inspired by Andrew Krivak's personal family history, The Sojourn is the story of Jozef Vinich, who was uprooted from a 19th-century mining town in Colorado by a shocking family tragedy to return with his father to an impoverished shepherd's life in rural Austria-Hungary. When war comes, Jozef joins his cousin and brother-in-arms as a sharpshooter on the southern front, where he must survive a perilous trek across the frozen Italian Alps and capture by a victorious enemy.
As poetic as Cold Mountain and The English Patient, this novel grips readers with chilling scenes of death and survival as it evokes a time when Czechs, Slovaks, Austrians, Hungarians, and Germans fought on the same side while divided by language, ethnicity, and social class in the most brutal war to date. It is also a poignant tale of fathers and sons, addressing the great immigration to America and the desire to live the American dream amid the unfolding tragedy in Europe.
