Every Special Needs Kid Needs a Buddy
This is a post in the weekly Autism Hopes series by Lisa Quinones-Fontanez, a mom who blogs over at AutismWonderland.
The weeks leading up to Norrin's diagnosis, I tried to prepare myself to hear the words: Your son has autism. But a parent is never truly prepared. I still cried and blamed myself. My husband, Joseph, had a much harder time. When I saw Joseph cry that day, my heart broke. I felt all the dreams a father has for his son crumbling.
As Norrin started the alphabet soup of services – ABA, OT, PT and Speech – the therapists asked us about our concerns. Mine were speech and self-help related; Joseph's revolved around throwing and catching a ball.
That was five years ago. And five years can make a world of difference.
Last Saturday, I saw something I could've never imagined when Norrin was first diagnosed with autism.
I saw Norrin play his second game of baseball. (His first game was the before, I was at a conference and missed it.)
Norrin is playing with the Miracle League.
The mission of the Miracle League of Westchester County is to establish and sustain baseball programs for people (of all ages) with disabilities. Our objective is to provide an opportunity or those individuals to experience the joy and benefits that come from playing our national pastime…We believe that everyone deserves a chance to play baseball.
Every kid in the Miracle League is partnered with a "Buddy." Norrin's Buddy is a "typical" 15-year-old kid named Caleb. I thought I was going to cry as Caleb and Norrin walked out into the field together. It's not often that I get to see Norrin interact with any kids, so when I see it, I'm moved. I watched as they played catch, amazed by Norrin's acquired skill of tossing and catching a baseball.
When it was Norrin's turn to bat, Caleb asked if Norrin should use a tee. With Caleb's help, Norrin swung the bat, hit the ball, ran to second base and eventually home. I could tell that Caleb really got it. And I knew that the Miracle League was not only a good thing for Norrin, it was good for Caleb too.
As I watched all the kids with their buddies, as I heard the parents, cheering and clapping for their kids – I felt all the positive energy. There was hope. I felt the difference a game of baseball could make. And I sat back in the bleachers and savored the moment.Add a Comment

"A large gap between what we expected and what we got."
This apartment has a avarage standard, and if you decide to stay in it, I would recommend to bring ant and insect-spray to keep them away. The outside area was very dirty, and the metal fencing was… More
Its a shame that you chose to leave a negative review after I answered your complaints.
We would always consider a refund if the reasons are valid but we do not feel it was necessary for you to leave. We understand that you were not close enough to your friends who were staying in Cyprus at the same time and you chose to leave so that you could be closer to them.
Unfortunately we have no control over the ants and insects as Cyprus is a hot country. The ants can be kept to a minimum if you do not leave crumbs on the chairs and sweet wrappers all over the floor.
The pool is maintained by a Cypriot company and I will pass on your comments.
We recommend car hire in the advert.
The apartment was cleaned inside and out immediately before you arrived and inspected when you left. I have already given you feedback on the state you left the apartment in and do not feel it necessary to repeat that here.
The railings do indeed need repainting and we will be updating and repainting when we visit next month.

A new investor-friendly legal framework and efforts to improve infrastructure are key to Paraguay's efforts to diversify its economy
Rollercoaster economic growth reflects lack of
diversification — and overdependence on agriculture
and its star products, soya beans and meat. It has exposed the
economy to sharp ups and downs.
Paraguay has taken advantage of the commodity boom of the
past decade to accumulate international reserves. But lousy
weather conditions also plunged it into recession in 2009 (-
4%) and 2012 (-1.2%).
The economy bounced back strongly last year on the back of a
bumper harvest. But that does not fool anyone at home.
"Last year was not a normal year. We grew at more than 13%,"
says Carlos Fernández, Paraguay's central
bank governor. "This year we are still growing, but growing

The demand for MTV's World Stage shows with Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and Biffy Clyro was simply phenomenal this morning and exceeded all expectations. Unfortunately, we did experience some issues with the payment process and we're really sorry for the inconvenience this caused.
We worked incredibly hard to ensure that we were ready for the on sale, however, this wasn't enough for the popularity of the shows this morning. We're working hard to rectify these issues and will update you soon with our progress.
We'd like to clarify that only a handful tickets have been sold. These tickets will be valid and we'll reschedule the on-sale for 9am on Monday the 3rd of November.

Guitar Center and DirecTV announced a two-part documentary and live concert event examining the life and music of Grammy Award-winning guitarist Slash. With a world tour on the horizon and his new album, "World On Fire", debuting in the Top 10 and garnering worldwide critical acclaim, the iconic guitarist remains one of the leading influences in music.
In a 90-minute live concert event — "Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators Live From The Sunset Strip" — viewers get a front row seat to Slash's recent show at one of Hollywood's most iconic venues, The Roxy, as part of Guitar Center's 50th-anniversary celebration. Filmed in stunning 4k and 5.1 surround sound, the special features songs from "World On Fire" as well as classic GUNS N' ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER hits. The concert brings a rock legend back to the stages where his career began: The Sunset Strip.
Slash: Raised on the Sunset Strip trailer:
The concert special leads into a 90-minute documentary directed by Martyn Atkins that takes viewers into the studio with the rock legend, combining new and archival footage with interviews from the artists and colleagues that influenced his incredible career. Tracing the rock icon's incredible journey, "Slash Raised On The Sunset Strip" covers his childhood in both England and California's Laurel Canyon, his discovery of the guitar and arrival on the Sunset Strip, his meteoric rise with GUNS N' ROSES, the evolution of VELVET REVOLVER, Slash's solo career and his current band featuring Myles Kennedy and THE CONSPIRATORS.
Slash speaks in intricate detail about his drive and approach to the craft, successes, challenges, influences and collaborations with multiple artists. Interviews with rock legends, including Dave Grohl, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, Nikki Sixx, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum, Jerry Cantrell, Lemmy, Dave Mustaine, Marc Canter, Alan Niven, as well as Slash's wife Perla Hudson and more reveal the stories of how it all came to be and, more importantly, where he's heading.
Guitar Center Presents Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators Live From The Sunset Strip:
"Our incredible partnership with DirecTV has allowed us to produce nearly 100 episodes of award-winning television, present cinematic musical experiences and now, venture into documentary filmmaking," said Dustin Hinz, vice president of brand experience and entertainment marketing, Guitar Center. "We are honored to feature Slash, an artist of such incredible character and talent and someone with whom we share a 30-year relationship. This project not only celebrates the songs of one of rock's most iconic figures, but the story behind the man that made them a reality and is another step in the evolution of our mission to develop engaging, inspirational story driven films and broadcast content.

"DirecTV is thrilled to present a film that captures the history of an extraordinary music icon," said Bart Peters, vice president of production and development, DirecTV.

I'm thrilled to attend the Food Allergy Blogger's Conference (#FABlogCon) for the 2nd year in a row! Last year was truly a life-changing event for me, catalyzing many lasting, meaningful relationships across our food allergy community. The mutual understanding, support, and camaraderie of virtual friends meeting face-to-face was overwhelming in the best way possible for an introvert like me!
Look for me on Saturday morning at the break-out session on evidence-based blogging with Veronica LaFemina and Anna Luke from Food Allergy Research and Education (aka, FARE) and Henry Ehrlich, editor of Asthma Allergies Children and author of Food Allergies: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western Science, and a Search for a Cure.
We hope to give lots of great advice and useful tips on blogging with integrity about food allergy science and discovery! I'll be leading the discussion on honest headlines and examining your personal bias. After all, how many times have you been frustrated by a misleading headline when it comes to food allergy research?!
If you can't make it, then please, please, please find me later and introduce yourself. I'm looking forward to meeting friends new and old (I'll be sure to give you one of my "business" post cards straight from Oregon!).
AND, if you can't make it to the conference, please follow along virtually on Twitter using the hashtag #FABlogCon. Selena at Amazing and Atopic did a wonderful job of explaining and providing a view of the Twitter feed, no Twitter account required!
See you soon!

You're prepared for an allergy emergency, but is your child?
Be prepared. It's a mantra in our house. I thought I was prepared, I thought my 6 year old son was prepared. He was not, and therefore, I was not. Let me explain…
There are "2 pillars" to managing food allergies – prevent reactions and prepare to respond to the emergency (see AllergyHome's great educational materials). We've had a few years to "prepare" ourselves to respond to a food allergy emergency should it arise. I thought I was "prepared" for when to use the epinephrine autoinjector (e.g. EpiPen, Auvi-Q), and I would not hesitate to use it. As an allergy parent, you go through all the scenarios, you have nightmares about scenarios, you hear of other family's scenarios, and every time, you think about how you would respond in that scenario.

My "hot" new asthma piece at Asthma Allergies Children!
I'm no stranger to my enthusiasm for Asthma Allergies Children as a source of great information and thought-provoking original pieces on allergic disorders.
I'm delighted to share my new piece - Allergic Asthma: When Organ Systems Communicate, We Might Not Always Like What They Have to Say.
You'll just have to go read the piece to find out why it's so "hot!"

Eosinophilic Esophagitis - Scientific Excitement - Part 2 of 2
PART 2 - BEYOND THE GWAS – FUNCTIONAL SIGNIFICANCE FOR EoE?
This is the exciting conclusion to parsing the findings in Kottyan, et al., 2014 (1). Just in case you missed it or need a refresher, here is a link to PART 1 – BACKGROUND TO UNDERSTAND EoE AND THE RESEARCH FINDINGS.
Brief summary of Part 1
After the researchers compared over 1.5 million regions of the genome between EoE and control subjects, they identified 4 different regions that were strongly associated with EoE. Going back to the analogy used in Part 1 – the researchers identified the flutes among the cacophony of the warming up orchestra. Now, they needed to analyze the melodies those flutes were playing – stated biologically, they needed to figure out if any of those flutes (i.e. – regions of DNA identified in the GWAS) played faulty melodies (i.e. – errors in genes getting expressed that may lead to EoE). Just because there is a difference in DNA between EoE patients and those without EoE (controls) doesn't necessarily mean that it is important biologically – a flute could play the wrong note, but it may harmonize with the intended note (e.g. make no difference to EoE). They were looking for a clear, dissonant "wrong note." Lead author and researcher on the paper, Dr. Leah Kottyan relayed to me that in this line of work, identifying the differences in DNA is the "easy" part. Now came the "hard" part.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis - Scientific Excitement - Part 1 of 2
The allergy world was abuzz this past week that a major research breakthrough for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) was published in Nature Genetics (1), spear-headed by Dr. Marc Rothenberg's lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital (follow the lab on FaceBook). For anyone dealing with this devastating allergic disorder, the news was welcome, but what does it all mean? And what could the future hold for people dealing with EoE or allergic disorders more generally?
My hope is to distill some pretty intense science in this two part series – the paper is scientifically very cool, yet very dense! Tackling this paper is not for the faint of heart (myself included)!

FORT WAYNE – With big eyes and bright smiles, they giggled and admired the shiny-covered, perfectly-cornered books spread out on the table in the rotunda of the Allen County Courthouse.
After hearing from a number of local and state-level dignitaries, on hand to tell them to remember to read, the children jumped up and ran back to that table when it was finally their turn.
Their turn to take home a book of their own.
The books were donated and presented through a national project called "A Book of My Own" through the Justice Project, an organization headed up by Noah benShea, an international best-selling author and consultant.
The program put about 300 books in area children's hands, most of which would be handed out through the Court-Appointed Special Advocate program and Allen Superior Court Magistrate Lori K. Morgan.
Morgan said she hoped the children would know, through the presentation of the books, that there were adults in the community who care about them.
"(I hope) it will inspire them to continue to read," Morgan said, "to do great things with their lives."
Also present for the presentation, alongside Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry and County Commissioner Nelson Peters, was state schools Superintendent Glenda Ritz, who has championed literacy programs since her election.
"A reader is not a person who knows how to read, but a person who does read," Ritz said.
As they selected their books, benShea and others made sure the children's names were written inside. One young man wiped tears from his eyes as shook benShea's hand.
CASA volunteer Gary Stetler, who has been volunteering with the organization for about a year, smiled in the back of the room.
The gifts of the books were awesome for the kids, he said.
"I had a rough time growing up as a kid and the Boxcar Children helped me," he said, referencing a popular children's book series from the early 20th century.
The goals of the foundation – which are economic, environmental, social and educational – are spanned by literacy, benShae said.
The foundation hopes to make a difference in 30,000 children around the country, he said.
It was clear from the bright smile on Alexis Moore's face, and the grins on her children's faces, that the books were well received Thursday afternoon.
Moore said she was doing all she could to build a family of readers with her five children.
"Reading is like movies to us," she said. "If you want to be successful, you have to read."

Kelly Osbourne has been in the public eye since her early teens, and for much of that time, she was subjected to cruel and unwarranted criticism about her weight.
Despite the fact that she's trimmed down tremendously in the past few years, Osbourne was subjected to "fat rehab" rumors as recently as last April.
While Kelly has never been shy about telling her critics where to shove it, she's clearly a firm believer that living well is the best revenge. In fact, these days she's firm in more ways than one:
Believe it or not, that's Kelly wearing a thong in the above photo and the 29-year-old fashion designer is clearly in the best shape of her life.

One thing I want to address is the Jacqueline/Caroline punch in the face comment. As you all know, we've discussed this before and neither Jac or I have tried to hide it. What bothers me is the fact that it was brought up again, so many years later. This happened over ten years ago, shortly after Jac gave birth to CJ. She was suffering from post partum depression and going through a really tough time. I'm insulted and disappointed that T would use Jac's suffering as a sticking point. There's nothing funny about post partum depression, shame on her for that. The bottom line is we forgave and forgot, and we have a wonderful relationship. Yes, we have disagreements from time to time, but it never lasts long. We talk about it and move on, TOGETHER.
Congrats to Melissa on her success with On Display! Every time I watch her reach another goal, I remember how she spoke of her dad and the hopes and dreams he had for her. I can't imagine how she feels at those moments, bittersweet for sure.
Well, that's all I have for now, see you next week and as always thank you so much for watching!

Student Regents
Overview of the Role of the Boards of Regents
The governor of the State of Texas appoints Regents for all public university systems (Texas A&M University System, Texas Tech University System, Texas State University System, University of Houston System, University of North Texas System, University of Texas System) and independent public universities (Midwestern State University, Texas Southern University, Texas Woman's University, Stephen F. Austin State University).
The Boards of Regents for the State of Texas are vested with the legal and corporate authority to ensure that the mission of the system/university is carried out, and in doing so, are accountable to the citizens of Texas. Members of the Board of Regents are appointed by the governor with staggered six-year terms. One student regent is appointed with a one-year term. Several members, including the university presidents, are ex-officio members. Many Boards of Regents operate through standing committees and also subcommittees and special committees. The Boards and their committees meet throughout the year.
The regents establish policy in areas such as personnel, campus development, student tuition and fees, admissions, and financial aid. The duties of the regents include overseeing the financial management of the system/university, its investments, and its property holdings as well as major appointments including the chancellors of the systems, presidents of the universities, and other key personnel. The regents delegate a broad range of authority and responsibility to the system chancellor and university presidents.

Identifying what makes for a great leader isn't an exact science. But, each year since 2001, Aon Hewitt has done its best to pinpoint the traits shared by the best business leaders—and the companies that excel in cultivating them.
The Lincolnshire, Ill.-based consultancy recently unveiled its 2014 Global Aon Hewitt Top Companies for Leaders list, a group of 25 organizations selected and ranked by a panel of independent judges, including experts from Wharton School of Business, the Indian School of Business, PUC Minas and Ivey School of Business.
The panel relied on a number of criteria, including strength of leadership practices and culture, examples of leader development on a global scale, alignment of business and leadership strategy, business performance and company reputation to compile the list, headed by GE, IBM, Hindustan Unilever Limited, General Mills Inc. and ICICI Bank.
What got them there?
According to Aon Hewitt's analysis, the top companies for leaders shared five key characteristics in their approach to leadership:
- Assessment. Top companies assess the whole leader early in their careers, evaluating leaders' experiences, competencies, values and organizational fit, which helps organizations "understand the unique needs of their talent pipeline to fuel the right development solutions that move people forward faster," according to Aon Hewitt.
- Awareness. These organizations have leaders who demonstrate tremendous self-awareness by understanding their personal strengths and weaknesses, and using this information to become more effective leaders.
- Resilience. Those atop the 2014 list build resilience in their leaders by creating inclusive cultures "where multiple perspectives and ideas are expected and fostered to help the organization meet continued business challenges."
- Engaging leadership. Leading firms focus on identifying and building engaging leaders who "are stabilizers, demonstrate versatility and stay connected to people and events inside and outside their organization.
- Sustainability. Top companies for leaders also concentrate on building talent programs "nimble enough to respond quickly to the market demands, yet sustainable [enough] to deliver superior business outcomes."
This year's top companies have shown a knack for nurturing talent in an ever-more competitive marketplace, says Michael Useem, professor of management and director of the Leadership Center at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, in a statement.
The Top 25 firms are "especially notable for the detailed tracking and comprehensive building of their talent pipelines, with special emphasis on strategic thinking, broad engagement and personal resilience—all increasingly critical given the companies' changing and complex markets," says Useem, who also describes "the direct personal involvement of senior managers and even company directors in their leadership programs" at top companies as "striking."
What it takes to be "striking" in terms of leadership has changed greatly in the 14 years Aon Hewitt has compiled its leader list, and "what was exceptional [just] two or three years ago … has now become table stakes for top organizations," adds Lorraine Stomski, a partner and head of Aon Hewitt's leadership consulting practice.
"Those companies that rest on their laurels and rely on practices that have previously brought them success will no longer thrive like top companies do," says Stomski. "Change and innovation are a must."Twitter It!

Review this album
There are no positive user reviews yet.
This is music that, thanks to the global marketplace, its own ingenuity, and Youtube, moves beyond boundaries of nation and language, sound and image, rationalization and emotion.
There are enough instrumental interludes and understated melodies here to make the record a grower, and it eases into the sunset for much of its back half.
Tokumaru's music, it's now well established, is quirky but profound, foreign but still universal.

Team Bush Paid Millions to Nathan Sproul—and Tried to Hide It
Sproul got into a bit of trouble last fall when, in certain states, it came out that the firm was playing dirty tricks in order to suppress the Democratic vote: concealing their partisan agenda, tricking Democrats into registering as Republicans, surreptitiously re-registering Democrats and Independents as Republicans, and shredding Democratic registration forms.
The scandal got a moderate amount of local coverage in some states--and then the election was over. Now anyone who brought up Nathan Sproul, or any of the other massive crimes and improprieties committed on or prior to Election Day, was shrugged off as a dealer in "conspiracy theory."
It seems that Sproul did quite a lot of work for the Republicans. Exactly how much did he do? More specifically, how much did the RNC pay Sproul & Associates?
If you went online last week to look up how much money Sproul received from the Republicans in 2004, you would have found that, according to the party (whose figures had been posted by the Center for Responsive Politics), the firm was paid $488,957.
In fact, the RNC paid Sproul a great deal more than that. From an independent study of the original data filed by the Republicans with the Federal Election Commission, it is clear that Sproul was paid a staggering $8.3 million for its work against the Democrats.
How the true figures came to be revealedOn Dec. 3, 2004, the Republican National Committee filed their Post-General Report with the FEC, accounting for all expenditures between Oct. 14 and Nov. 22.
Among the Itemized Disbursements there were listed six expenditures to Sproul & Associates, amounting to a total sum of $4.5 million. Three of them were for "Political Consulting," and the other three were for "Voter Registration Costs." The RNC paid Sproul the biggest amount on the day before the election: $1,668,733.
On Jan. 7, 2005 and again on May 3, 2005, the RNC sent in revised reports. Those items were unchanged in all of them.
After they received the RNC's second revised report, the FEC expressed dissatisfaction with the vague phrase "Voter Registration Costs." In a May 18 letter to Michael Retzer, Treasurer of the RNC, the FEC requested that itemized disbursements labeled thus be further clarified.
On June 17, the RNC submitted a (third) revised report. In it, those three suspicious Sproul expenditures labeled "Voter Registration Costs" had been changed to "Political Consulting." As a "clarification," it was as vague as possible. Although it only raised more questions, there seems to be no letter in the FEC database concerning that unedifying correction.
Moreover, there are some big surprises buried in the paperwork. It turned out that the RNC paid Sproul not only for their pre-election work, but also paid them for work after the election. According to their Year-End Report, filed on Jan. 28, 2005, the RNC paid Sproul for "Political Consulting" in December--long after all the voter registration drives had ended.
And two months later, when the RNC filed their amended Year-End Report on May 3, the dates of those December expenditures mysteriously changed. A payment of $210,176, once made on Dec. 20, was changed to Dec. 22. A payment of $344,214, initially recorded on Dec. 22, was changed to Dec. 9.
As to why Sproul was being paid in December, and why the dates were changed, one can only speculate. But it may be worth noting that the Ohio recount took place from Dec. 13 through Dec. 28.
Because these amendments were made in 2005, the Center for Responsive Politics' website mistakenly allocated that money to the 2006 cycle. When we informed them of these missing numbers yesterday, CRP was quick to adjust them. They also included two more expenditures: a $323,907 payment for more "Political Consulting" (10/12/04) and $450,257 for "Mailing Costs" (10/04/04).
And there was more--much more.
Fuzzy mathThe documents also suggest that the RNC may have changed the dates of nine payments to suggest expenditures in 2005, thereby shifting focus from the 2004 election.
In going through the documents, CRP located nine expenditures from the future: Sproul somehow received a total of $1,323,154 between Sept. 2 and Sept. 29, 2005. Another $472,642 is hidden in 2005. Four of those prospective items were (or will be) for "Generic Media Buys" or "Lodging, Transportation." The other four are (or will be) for "Voter Registration Efforts"--surely an expense incurred in September of last year, not this year.
Larry Noble, executive director of CRP, considers such future expenditures for, say, "Lodging, Transportation" rather odd, but he gives the RNC the benefit of the doubt. "My guess is that it's an error," he suggests. "It's possible that they're cleaning up voter registration lists in September, but it's also possible they made a mistake."
Even if that mistaken date is just a typo, it is, to say the least, not likely that they made the same mistake in nine uniquely dated items for 2004.
In any case, all the payments by the RNC to Sproul add up to a whopping $8,359,161--making it the RNC's eighth biggest expenditure of the 2004 campaign.
Sproul is currently under investigation by the Oregon Attorney General's office, for altering the voter registration forms of several thousand students in that state. Whether the new numbers are in part mistaken, they represent a huge expense for the Republicans. Given Sproul's history of serious electoral mischief, affecting countless Democratic voters in the last election, it is important that we ask some sober questions: Where did all that money come from? Why did the RNC suppress their real expenditures? And what exactly did Sproul do for all that pay? If we're going to get some reasonable answers, the FEC must undertake a very thorough audit of the books.

When Felix Brewer meets nineteen-year-old Bernadette "Bambi" Gottschalk in 1959, he charms her with wild promises, some of which he actually keeps. Thanks to his lucrative--if not all legal--businesses, she and their three little girls live in luxury. But in 1976, Bambi's comfortable world implodes when Felix, facing prison, vanishes. Though Bambi has no idea where her husband--or his money--might be, she suspects one woman does: his devoted young mistress, Julie. When Julie disappears ten years to the day after Felix went on the lam, everyone assumes she's left to join her old lover--until her remains are discovered in a secluded park.
Now, twenty-six years later, Roberto "Sandy" Sanchez, a retired Baltimore detective working cold cases for some extra cash, is investigating her murder. What he discovers is a tangled web of bitterness, jealousy, resentment, greed, and longing stretching over five decades. And at its center is the man who has never been forgotten by the five women who loved him: the enigmatic Felix Brewer.
Felix Brewer left five women behind. Now there are four. Does at least one of them know the truth?

Lippman's latest crime novel begins as more of a family drama, focusing on shady businessman Felix Brewer. The story opens as Felix flees suburban Maryland to escape the law, leaving behind his wife, Bambi; three daughters; and a mistress, Julie Saxony. When Julie disappears 10 years later, it is assumed that she joined Felix. The whodunit aspect of the narrative kicks in when her skeletal corpse is discovered in one of the city's favorite body dumps, Leakin Park. Enter Sandy Sanchez, a retired Baltimore police detective who supplements his pension by closing the department's cold cases, who reopens the investigation of Julia's death. Emond reads the character-rich story with just the right amount of emotion, catching Bambi's youthful infatuation, her smug comfort in a seemingly idyllic marriage, and, finally, her disillusionment. The actress is just as effective in portraying Felix's brash scoundrel's charm and the various moods of the very different daughters. As for Sandy Sanchez, the guy's a dogged sleuth who saves his emotion for his work. Emond catches his faux empathy in interviews, his elation in uncovering decades-old clues, and his determination to get the job done. A William Morrow hardcover. (Mar.)

Intel out to add NFC payment tech to Ultrabooks
Intel wants to build contactless payment tech into Ultrabooks.

The idea is clear: order something on the web then pay for it by tapping your PayPass-enabled credit card or NFC-equipped …
... people'd fsck around with external (cardbus/usb/what-have-you) readers, manufacturers would notice the demand, and, well, the thing gets built into the machine for convenience's sake. It seems they're instead trying to do a "build it and they will come"; this isn't the first try with that particular technology, and it does make me wonder. Who keeps pushing manufacturers to try something that generates very little demand in and of itself?
