CROMWELL, Conn. – Scott Langley is being careful not to get too far ahead of himself in the Travelers Championship. That's the mistake he said he made three weeks ago at the Memorial Tournament when he shot a 79 in the final round to drop into a tie for 28th.
Winless in two seasons on the PGA Tour, the 25-year-old Langley took the second-round lead in the Travelers on Friday, after his opening 64 with a 65 to reach 11 under 129. He had eight birdies, a double bogey and a bogey in the second round at TPC River Highlands.
I've been in contention. I played in the final group on Sunday at Memorial, Langley said. This weekend, I'm not going to think about possibilities. I'm not going to think about what it means to win. I'm not going to think about any of that stuff. I'm just going to keep my head down and play my game.
Michael Putnam, Harris English and K.J. Choi were a stroke back. Putnam shot 63, matching the best round of the day. English had a 64, and Choi shot 65.
Langley was 11 under after 10 holes Friday, but an errant approach shot on the 342-yard, par-4 second hole led to a double bogey.
I was ticked off because it was such an easy mistake, a simple wedge shot, said Langley, trying to become the fifth straight first-time PGA Tour winner in the event.
Langley birdied the next hole.
I've given myself a lot of short birdie opportunities the first two days. Those are nice, Langley said. When you start adding up three, four and five almost tap-in birdies, that just really kind of boosts you up.
First-round leader Brendan Steele had a 69 and to top the group at 9 under. He made three bogeys on his first nine holes, but rallied with four straight birdies on Nos. 3-6.
Defending champion Ken Duke was 3 under after a 72. Masters champion Bubba Watson, the 2010 Travelers winner, followed his opening 67 with a 72 to make the cut by a stroke.
Defending champion Ken Duke was 3 under after a 72.
Erik Compton, the two-time heart transplant recipient who tied for second Sunday in the U.S. Open, missed the cut. He had a 69 in the second round to finish at 3 over.
CHAMPIONS: In Glenview, Ill., Tom Lehman birdied four straight holes and finished with a bogey-free 7-under 65 to take the first-round lead in the Champions Tour's Encompass Championship.
Doug Garwood and England's Roger Chapman were a stroke back at 66, and Mark O'Meara, Sandy Lyle, Jeff Sluman, Michael Allen, Bart Bryant, Kirk Triplett and John Inman shot 67.
EUROPEAN: In Cork, Ireland, Finland's Mikko Ilonen opened a two-stroke lead in the Irish Open, while Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy missed the cut by a stroke.
Ilonen had a 3-under 68 to reach 10 under at Fota Island. Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell (66), England's Robert Rock (66) and France's Romain Wattel (65) were tied for second.
McIlroy followed his opening 74 with a 69.

|Use of High Cost Monitoring During Letrozole Ovulation Induction and Effect on Pregnancy Rates - A Pilot Study
|Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate monitoring methods during ovulation induction cycles with letrozole and their effect on pregnancy rates. Monitoring ovulation induction cycles with letrozole can be done with a variety of methods, the two most commonly utilized are home-based urinary LH kits (or ovulation predictor kits) and office-based midcycle follicular ultrasound. Letrozole coupled with follicular monitoring by ultrasound may add extra cost per cycle with no improvement in fecundability (pregnancy rates per cycle).
|Detailed Description
The study will be a randomized controlled trial of adult women with primary and secondary infertility seen at the University of Michigan Health System undergoing ovulation induction (OI) with letrozole as part of their standard clinical care. Patients who are undergoing OI with letrozole as per standard clinical care will be randomized to urinary luteinizing hormone (LH) ovulation predictor kit use versus mid-cycle ultrasound with administration of hCG when appropriate for timing of intercourse or intrauterine insemination. Patients who have been prescribed letrozole as per routine clinical care will be approached to determine willingness to participate in this study. Study period involves up to three ovulation induction cycles or until pregnancy occurs.

Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich started something wonderful with their public radio show Radiolab a decade ago. The popular series, syndicated all over the country, explores science and the world around us. Now fans can experience the show in person at Radiolab Live: Apocalyptical. Joined onstage by British comedian Simon Amstell, Abumrad and Krulwich guide viewers through hundreds of millions of years of Earth's history, coming again and again to the end of the world. On air and onstage, Abumrad and Krulwich have a deft, easy style that instantly engages an audience. Here, they will take a new look at the extinction of the dinosaurs, positing that it happened in a much more sudden and explosiony manner than was previously thought; the death of atoms; and even a touching tale of two elderly actors stricken with Parkinson's who go out with a bang during one last performance of Samuel Beckett's bleak Endgame.

Creating a Beautiful Fractal ImageThere are so many beautiful fractal images in the art world......and the ones here at Deviant Art are no exception! The images are as diverse as each person who creates it. I am a lay-person on the subject when it comes to explaining the art itself. Simply put...fractals are based on Mathematical Equations. The how and the why of this explanation still eludes me, but the beauty of the images keep my creating them. For information about the underlying mathematics check this Wikipedia link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FractalsThis journal will look at the elements that go into creating a beautiful Fractal Image, rather then the complexity of the base mathematics.I did not come to these thoughts about the "Perfe

I have never stopped looking and wanting to create fractals that would make others say "WOW"....or "AWESOME".But I also discovered, thanks the Lord, that creating a fractal, any fractal from any softwareis a group activity that involves the creators of the fractal software, as well as lookingat the awesome work of those who have made fractals before us, andthose who write tutorials and give real time advice in :iconthe-ApoShack:Without all these things and people working together....fractal art would not be the powerhouse it is today.I say these words from my heart and soul.Have you thanked a fractalist today?

Fractal Software to Create Beautiful Fractals.Fractal Software To Create These Beautiful Fractals There are many different kinds of fractal generating software out there, just waiting for an artist to create beautiful fractal images.Many of them are free and some of them even have creators who are members here at Deviant Art!.There are groups available that are devoted to specific programs....and there are groups that solicit your art no matter whichsoftware you choose to use.

PE: Traditional ShadingTraditional ShadingHello. This is iDJPanda on the topic of shading! When I usually start into the shading process of something, I always struggle to see which kind of technique I can use to give the piece of art the type of wow that I want. But just like anything, there are MANY ways to do it! This can help you use different shading techniques for different textures. I'm gonna give you a few different ways you can shade (Try to shake it up! ). If you have any other ways you shade, please feel free to tell me! ScribblingOne of my favorite, in this technique of shading, you go against what all elementary teachers told you. You scribble! When you shade like this, you'll come out with something that looks like this.Using circular motions, you generate different shades. Spending more time, swirling makes the certain areas you want darker, and the less you swirl makes the other areas lighter.
Artist's Toolbox: Social Media WebsitesIn this day and age, with the internet at just about everyone's fingertips, social media is making a big boom and is useful for so much more than just socializing with others. Each day more and more businesses jump on the social media bandwagon to help market and promote their goods. For artists this is no different, as these websites are an excellent tool to market yourself, your skills, and of course your art! Benefits of using Social Media WebsitesBe seen!Starting out brand new on any social media website can be a bit daunting and building watchers/followers can take time though there are ways to get noticed faster if you are willing to put the time and effort into it. Some time ago I wrote an article about gaining exposure. While the article is geared towards gaining exposure on deviantART, a lot of the same concepts apply to other websites as well. Do take a moment and give it a read.

PE: Creating art on CommissionPE: Creating art on CommissionAt some point in your career as an artist, you'll be asked to create artwork on commission. Whilst it's a wonderful feeling, being able to make money creating art, it's completely different than selling a personal piece you previously completed - accepting a commission means entering a temporary relationship with your client. As simple it may sounds, there's a lot to satisfying customer's needs, sometimes the best you can do is to say no. Being picky regarding which commission you accept is not a bad thing, but try not to automatically turn down commission because it seems to be violating your artistic integrity, it's hard to survive without paid jobs. ✐ 1. Communication and flexibilityThis is the key aspect to being able to work on commissio
The Artist's Toolbox - Working with ReferencesThe Artist's Toolbox - Working with ReferencesI can draw anything... as long as I get to look at it.There is a great myth that drawing is a memory exercise. That if you can draw entirely from memory it makes you a better artist who deserves more kudos.Of course the study of drawing will lead to a good memory of the things you've already studied how to draw, humans, animals, whatever it is that you love to draw. But the downfall of this is that you can restrict yourself to only drawing what it is you have studied how to draw, ie what you've memorised.Using reference is not a weakness! It is a strength and almost all top level artists use a lot of reference. Using reference means you're not trapped one person's life experiences and can draw upon a wealth of extra knowledge. How can that be a weakness?OneA lot of people seem to assume that the reference should come first. They go out and they scour the dA stock etc to find th

PE: Power of PerspectivePE: Power of PerspectivePerspective is the angle and depth of a piece of art. Changing perspective allows for drastic differences. There is more than one kind of perspective, and all of them allow for more dynamic pieces of art if used correctly.There are three common choices, and these are explained later.Usually perspective deals with how close things appear, and correctly rendering perspective adds depth to an image and increases the impact of the composition. One Point PerspectiveOne point perspective is where there is one vanishing point in a piece. . A vanishing point is essentially the in-the-distance-until-you-can't-see anymore point.You see this perspective often, images of roads, or landscape often have one point perspective. Examples of one point perspective:<b>

What went wrong? We have put every finest details and all our patience in it. Then?Art has its own science. Science that makes a successful art – something that comes out exactly you thought of and leaves the same impact on your audience. That science is known as composition in art and music. Where your eyes will go at first, how you will draw attention, how much attention you will draw – these are not luck, but pure science. A well thought designed piece is always successful. So mastering the brushes are not enough, we have to learn about the basics that make a successful art!Hence, today, we will talk about the 'bad' elements which are solemnly responsible for rui
PE: How to Advertise CommissionsHow to: Advertise CommissionsMany deviants offer commissions, but how do you effectively advertise them? This article will go over some methods for maximizing the exposure on your commissions so that they can be as successful as possible. Commission WidgetThis is the one method I cannot stress enough. Commission Widgets are one of the most effective ways to advertise your commissions because they not only feature your commissions on your profile page, but also add them to the searchable database of dA's Commission Page. Numerous deviants use the Commission Page to find artists to hire, so it is a smart idea to add yourself to the database.However, simply slapping a commission widget onto your page is not enough. You need to make your commissions as appealing as possible through the following steps:Commission Examples: The Commission Widget allows you to display several examples of your artwork,
The Artist's Toolbox: An Artist JournalAnother Month another Artist's Toolbox.This time I'm pulling something rather more personal out of my arsenal of tools which is my own individual way of dealing with the infuriating issue ofI want to draw... but I don't know what.There are a number of ways people go around dealing with this issue. Just doodling til something pops out. Working on a list of prompts. Asking people to help give them ideas. Doing an entry for a contest.... there are lots of ways of going about finding something to draw.EH = Ernest HemmingwayMy own personal way of dealing with it, makes use of the opposite problem.I have loads of ideas! But I have to go to bed/have no time/paper/drawing equipment.When I have lots of ideas, as is common for me before I'm about to go to bed, or when I'm supposed to be doing something else, I write it down in my magical sparkly kitty book, AKA my Artist Journal.

PE :Artistic ExcusesYou know, everywhere in the world, inspiration strikes, new artists are born, and new styles are born. We all start as beginners and take our time...but then certain points...there are times when we feel a certain way about our art. Some people don't think that they cannot get better when you know you can. Some people feel they should quit....when you can keep going. Some people feel like you're nothing...when you are something...those things are called excuses...there is no excuse why you cannot accomplish your goals to become an artist. The quotes you see often "OMG! Your art is so cute!""Cute.""That is awesome!""I love your art""Your art is very cool and different."That alone should motivate you to keep going. But if you still feel weary of your art and if you still feel like your art cannot get better even after comments that should motivate your to keep going, here's a guide to help you out and a guide of excuses that are often shown w
5 Reasons to do it the traditional way5 Reasons to do it the traditional wayTraditional and Digital art are both completely different mediums, able to create the same product. It is possible to paint a beautiful, watercolor-like painting digitally, as well as achieve the cleanliness and color options of a digital piece traditionally. Therefore, using one or the other to express ourselves creatively is, just like many things in life, just an option. People may have personal, sometimes even illogical reasons for using one or the other and that's fine. Today, however, I'm a cheerleader for the "traditional side", and I offer you 5 reasons to do it traditionally!1. Oh the wonderful smell of art supplies > I'm not talking about the toxic smell that come painting techniques require, of course. Rather about the feeling you get when entering a huge art supply store, touching all those brand new pencils and tubes
PE: ARTIST TOOLBOX: Water-based Media!Waterbased Media!I love water-based media! What is "waterbased media" you say? Well that would be any kind of water-soluble ink or paint! There are many advantages to working with water-based media, the main one being that many water-based paints and inks are not extremely dangerous to work with (in comparison to oils which are not good to get on your hands people…wear gloves!), there is no need for special clean up or a specific work environment (on that note, please PLEASE do not paint with oils in your living room). Another advantage to working with water-based media is quick drying times. This is a pro especially if you do illustrative works. A third pro to water-based media is that they are somewhat cost effective for us starving artists. Here are some types of water-based media: watercolor, ink, latex paint, and acrylic paint. My favorite type of water-based media is watercolor. Tip: you don't need t
PE: Presentation mattersPresentation mattersIt's not just the artwork that tells you something about it's creator - on the internet, the way you present it is at least equally as important. Your painting can be a masterpiece, hanged in a local gallery, but as long as you post a blurry, badly cropped picture named "1564873" along with "..." in an artist's description, nobody will ever bother visiting your gallery. Creating a nice, representative profile page and setting a certain visual quality standard takes extra time and effort, but if you really care for your work (even if it's just a hobby), you should treat it with some respect.I've already written a related article called The power of context that tried to explain how to place your work in a context in order to better connect with your audience, this one is focused
Essentials of Writing a CritiqueEssentials of Writing a CritiqueDeviantART has a wonderful feature that allows people to give constructive criticism about other people's artwork, or receive it for theirs. But this can be rather limiting when you can only give one critique per deviation. You have to make it as perfect as possible - so the other person can understand your perspective clearly. Here's my opinion on how you could go about writing a critique. Enjoy~- -Describe: I suggest that you always start off by describing the other person's piece. Sometimes, even addressing the obvious can help to 'set the background in motion' so the artist knows whether his piece's significance got through or not.Analyze: Try to think critically. Though you want to share your opinion, it is sometimes helpful to see it from everyone's eyes. Also, divide the main aspects while writing a critique. If you're writing a critique on a digital art piece, you can divide it into line-art, then shading et
Making the Most of the Words You UseHave you ever opened up a dictionary and just starting reading it? (Oh, come on, I know I'm not the only one!) Well, if you haven't, you should go do that, right now, before you read any further. Okay, you're back. There are literally hundreds of thousands of words out there, and all of them are waiting for you to use them in your next literary masterpiece.Now, you may be asking "So what?" Words are just words, right? So long as you get your point across, that's all that matters, right? After all, green is green, whether you call it olive or neon or sea-foam. Right? Right?Wrong! Consider this scene: Abigail walked through the quiet garden. The hedges formed a maze for her to navigate.It gets the point across, but doesn't paint much of a picture without context. It's kind of boring, and doesn't give you any details or reason for caring. By adding or changing a few words, you can turn this dry piece of toast into an enchanting seedcake of delight.Abiga
Activity vs. Community When combining millions of artists working with different media, style, experience level, etc. being here can become overwhelming and finding your "place" can seem almost impossible. Throughout the last few weeks I've noticed more and more people asking "how can I be more active?" and "how do I get involved in the community?" These are both the same question and completely different questions at the same time. Though the answers to both are quite similar if not the same the difference between activity and community is huge! We're going to cover the answers and difference to both of those in this article.The Basics There are three basic ways to being active on dA and getting involved the community. Everything after this will actually lead right back to these three things. Commenting: is the best and most effective way to particicpate in our community becaus

What sort of chile to put in chocolate?
- blkery Feb 2, 2010 07:57 AM
I'm a big fan of Mark Bittman's mexican chocolate tofu pudding (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/20/din...), but putting generic chili powder in the mix seems a bit wrong to me. I'd like to do something a bit more focused, delicate, and traditional.
The problem is, I don't know what that would be. I love chile in chocolate, but am not sure what sort of blends I've tasted before. I have some arbol and guajillo on hand. Can I grind up these or other dried peppers in my spice grinder and replace the chili powder with them?
You can buy a dried chili pepper and grind it. Just select for the level of heat you want, or smokiness (ancho, chipotle, frex).
I no longer buy chili seasoning mixes; I grind my own peppers and add other seasonings to taste. I use a cheap coffee grinder with a metal blade (the type that should never be used to grind coffee, it's great for spices).
I'd make three kinds if possible. one with guajillo, one with arbol, and one with both.
My initial thought for chile in chocolate is always ancho. It works well for multiple taste buds (i.e. those who can't handle too much heat - but it does have a nice little warmth to it.) If I wan't to pack a punch, I'll look to a blend of chiles including pequin, arbol, and ancho for layering the heat.
I like this one.
And yes, of course you can grind your own chilies and use. Just experiment with what and how much to use :)
You can use just about any kind of chili peppers with chocolate depending on the flavor and heat level you want. Gujillo will probably be better than arbol because they hjave a richer flavor. Make sure you toast dried chili's in a hot dry skillet before grinding for a richer flavor. Other good options are chipotles, piquin, habanero, and probably the most used with chocolate is ancho (also the most widely availble in powder form). You can also use chili oils if you want a fresher as opposed to smokier flavor. You can buy chili oils or ifuse your own with fresh chilis of any variety.
If there's any milk or cream in your recipe, that's a good medium for introducing a subtle chile flavor.
I steep dried chiles in cream (ancho for subtle chili flavor or anaheim for heat) in cream until I get the flavor I want, and then make ganache with the cream for chocolate truffles.
If you like the arbol and/orguajillo, I'd use them, but otherwise, I'd agree with others here who've suggested the ancho (a dried poblano). They are relatively mild (if you've ever eaten chili relleno, the poblano is the pepper most often used). A step up in heat would be to go with the dried New Mexico (or arbol).
I'd refer you to The Cook's Thesaurus. Here is the link to the "dried chili" page. Enter "fresh chilis" in the search box to view those. It will give you heat indicators, flavor qualities and chili substitutes in the (likely) event you won't find exactly what you want at your grocery/spice store.
Edit: If you have the availability of buying freshly ground peppers from a local source, I would suggest taking that route. You could then taste the ground version to assess its quality prior to purchase. Depending on where they're grown (soil, rainfall and temps), store bought, like-variety *whole* peppers VERY often vary in heat and flavor complexities and can ruin the outcome of much anticipated dish. It's for this lack of consistency that chili cooks seldom grind their own chili in competitive cook-offs. Just FWIW.
Like some of the previous commenters, my first thought was Ancho -- in fact, I imagined Bobby Flay on one of his first Food Network cooking shows (with that adorable co-host of his -- what was that show called?), describing ancho chiles as tasting like a "spicy raisin." They have such a nice earthy fruitiness that I think goes perfectly with chocolate.
Good luck! :)

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPV4 gene.[1][1][2][2][3]
This gene encodes TRPV4, a member of the OSM9-like transient receptor potential channel (OTRPC) subfamily in the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily of ion channels.[3][4][5] The encoded protein is a Ca2+-permeable, nonselective cation channel that is thought to be involved in the regulation of systemic osmotic pressure.[6] Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[7]
Mutations in the TRPV4 gene are associated with a vast range of disorders, including brachyolmia type 3, congenital distal spinal muscular atrophy, scapuloperoneal spinal muscular atrophy and subtype 2C of Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease.[8]
A number of TRPV4 agonists and antagonists have been identified in the past ten years.[9] The discovery of unselective modulators (e.g. antagonist Ruthenium Red) was followed by the apparition of more potent (agonist 4aPDD)[10] or selective (antagonist RN-1734)[11] compounds, including some with bioavailability suitable for in vivo pharmacology studies such as agonist GSK1016790A[12] (with ~10 fold selectivity vs TRPV1) and antagonist HC-067047[13] (with ~5 fold selectivity vs hERG and ~10 fold selectivity vs TRPM8).
TRPV4 has been shown to interact with MAP7[14] and LYN.[15]
Function in sunburn pain[edit]
Wolfgang Liedtke, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of neurology and neurobiology at Duke University School of Medicine reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that studies on genetically engineered mouse model missing TRPV4 only in the cells of the epidermis and on mouse cell cultures have led to the conclusion that exposure to UVB rays caused calcium to flow into the skin cells, but only when the TRPV4 ion channel was present; the influx of calcium ions brings in another molecule called endothelin, which triggers TRPV4 to send more calcium into the cells. Endothelin is known to cause pain and to evoke itching in humans. Could Discovery Lead to End of Sunburn Pain? (Science Daily)

DENVER (AP) - Breckenridge Ski Resort is waiting for a U.S. Forest Service decision on whether its proposed expansion onto Peak 6 can proceed.
The public was submitting comments to the Forest Service on the proposal before the comment period expired Friday.
The resort wants to add about 550 acres of skiing, a lift and warming hut on Peak 6 within its existing Forest Service permit.
Environmentalists contend cutting down trees for ski runs could hurt habitat for lynx and other animals. The Forest Service says allowing skiing on another peak would help the resort better accommodate the number of visitors it gets.
The Summit Daily News reports the town of Breckenridge has suggested capping daily skier visits, but resort officials aren't interested.

"Disappointing ending"
What started out as an engrossing story about a black ops type bad guy killing cops and civilians ended up so anti-climatically that I swore off this author forever. It was like the publisher decided the book was getting too long, so the last couple of chapters that described specifically the personality and motivations of the evildoer were chopped off. Too much in-depth description of trivia also bloated this mediocre police procedural.
"Mediocre police procedural with poor narration"
Harry Bosch solves two cold cases with a new partner, a lot of luck, and no small amount of coincidence. The narrator's monotone and "one voice fits all" approach to conversation makes for boring listening and sometimes makes it difficult to determine who exactly is speaking. He gives the impression of someone just reading words on a page rather than actually telling a story. And then there's the issue of Harry Bosch's age. For Harry to have been a "tunnel rat" during the Viet Nam war he would have to have been no older than 10 years old at the time. Perhaps he lied about this age.
"Very disappointing ending"
As usual, this historical detective novel is well written and McCammon does a believable job of portraying the culture and atmosphere of the 18th Century Carolinas. Matthew Corbett is engaging as the young Sherlock Holmes-type "problem solver," and the reader, Edoardo Ballerini--arguably the best there is at reflecting the mood and atmosphere of the various characters--does yet another excellent job. However, the ending employs one of the most hackneyed and scientifically dubious cliches in literature -- retroactive amnesia (forgetting your own name and personal history after receiving a blow to the head). Also, there is an incredible (read: unbelievable) coincidence at the end, combined with a bit of gratuitous gore, which had me shaking my head for hours. I recommend this book only for fans of the Matthew Corbett series.
"A wonderful book, worthy of all its praise."
I can add little to what has been said about "Replay" in the past 25+ years since it was published, except to comment that, while it has been compared many times to "Groundhog Day," it is actually more similar (in my mind) to characters in Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series: Bergitte Silverbow and Gaidal Cain, starcrossed lovers who are endlessly reborn, and with each new life much search each other out so that they may reunite yet again. Sadly, the author of "Replay", Ken Grimwood, died in 2003 at the age of 59. I like to think of Ken back into his teens during the 60s, betting on the Kentucky Derby and the '63 World Series, preparing to write a sequel to "Replay," perhaps suggesting an explanation for the miracle of reincarnation for a select few people.
"Fun read, greater listen"
I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderfully hilarious mystery and sendup to "The Postman Always Rings Twice." The main treat, however, was the reader, William Dufris. This one-person cast of thousands has more voices than Sybil, and to hear his Jamaican-thug patois is to die for.
"Excellent story; disappointing ending"
I happened coincidentally to download this audio just before the Kennedy Assassination, so it was a very timely read/listen. Littell is a master of the LeCarre-type spycraft novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed Scott Brick's delivery of the dialogue amongst the various characters. The plot is crisp, with excellent character development, but I was hoping for a more satisfactory ending to the various intrigues than the one Littell delivers. Just the same, a worthwhile purchase.
"A thrilling, edge-of-your seat cliffhanger"
This is one of the most enjoyable thrillers I've listened to in the past couple of years. A PTSD veteran with his life in shambles redeems himself to his family and the best friend he failed, all while defending himself against one of the most vicious mobsters you'll ever encounter in a novel. Even with the dire, often depressing plot, Hurwitz manages to inject some humor (a bacon-eating vegetarian) and a poignant scene in a hospital ward, where severely sick children are trick-or-treating the other inpatients on Halloween. Scott Brick, who rightfully labels himself a "performer" rather than a "reader," is at the top of his game.
I purchased this book after listening to "K.I.A." by the same author, which was terrific. However, "One Drop of Blood" has almost no plot line, although there are a few interesting science lessons about forensic anthropology, and has a "surprise" ending that is predictable about halfway through the novel. What bothered me most however was the nearly constant bickering between the two main characters, made worse by the reader's tendency to make them sound like characters out of South Park. This is apparently Holland's first published novel, and it's surprising to see how much his writing improved with the later (and much better narrated) "K.I.A."
(Spoiler warning). I was drawn to this novel after listening to Littell's The Company and a couple of other novels of lesser renown. Initially, I was intrigued by the "story within a story" plot lines: the last days of the patriot Nathan Hale, as told by a modern descendent, "The Weeder" of the CIA, who himself has discovered a plot to nuke an Iranian city by rogue government agents, who want to kill him for his discovery. All of the mystery and suspense of the latter story line is revealed to be as bogus as the imagined narrative of Hale's capture and execution, both stories a product of the main character's psychosis. I felt incredibly cheated by this revelation.
"Thoroughly enjoyable!"
This book had me laughing practically every minute of listening. Hiassen's characters, as usual, are over the top. A roadkill-eating ex-governor, a hitman/mortgage broker with a weed whacker for a prothesis, and a Lindsay Lohan style airhead who lip syncs her hit records, just to name a few. I found the interaction between Chemo and Cherry Pye to be especially funny: he jolts her with a cattle prod whenever she uses any words he finds annoying, such as "totally" and "awesome." Stephen Hoye, the reader, does an excellent job with the various voices, especially Janet Bunterman, the airhead's enabling mother. Yes, he does mispronounce some of the place names (Mo-have rather than Mo-havee), but I completely disagree with those critics who complain about Hoye's narration.

How to trim a hedge
Hedges are excellent features which can provide additional privacy, a great habitat for birds or other wildlife and a tidy border for your garden. Most hedges are not especially high maintenance, but do require a trim every now and then to prevent them losing their shape or casting unwanted shade.

An elderly female was allegedly one of the suspect's victims, says the Singapore Police Force.
SINGAPORE: A 26-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday (Aug 27) by officers from the Jurong Police Division in connection with two cases of snatch theft at Boon Lay.
The Police said the suspect allegedly snatched the purse of an elderly female victim on Aug 6 this year at about 8.40am. She was walking alone towards the lift at a block in Boon Lay Place when he approached her from the rear and took the purse containing her senior citizen EZ-Link card, keys and cash amounting to about S$45.
The officers arrested him on Wednesday at 6.45pm in the vicinity of Boon Lay Avenue. Preliminary investigations indicate that he was also involved in a similar case in Boon Lay Drive reported on Jul 5, according to the statement.
The suspect will be charged in Court on Aug 29 for Using Criminal Force to commit Theft under Section 356 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224, which is punishable with imprisonment for a term of not less than one year and not more than 7 years, as well as caning.

August 13, 2014
An event Wednesday morning in Charlottesville was all about girl power.
The Girl Scouts of the Virginia Skyline Council held a leadership conference at the Holiday Inn to help teen girls learn more about possible career opportunities.
It was also a chance to network with local businesswomen.
The goal of the event was focus on career aspirations beyond college.
"To learn what you don't want to do is just as important as learning what you do want to do in life," said Event Development Director Hailey Hermosa. "So maybe they thought oh I want to do this, and they learn more about it and they think no maybe I'll head more in this direction as far as their career choices and what they're going to major in school in later on."
Other guests included police officers, school officials and pediatricians.

Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke
ABC is entering the crowded singing competition arena, but with four hefty names: Kelly Clarkson, Lionel Richie, Robin Thicke and Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles. The four superstars will serve as mentors and singing partners on Duets, which will premiere this summer.

Question: I don't think I'm going out on a limb in guessing that you weren't a big fan of ABC's The One. I wasn't that impressed with any of the contestants, and it's not like there aren't 300 other talent competitions on TV right now, but I must say that I was a little sad the show didn't hit. From what I read, it's the American version of the Star Academy format that has done fairly well in Europe and elsewhere. I figure a lot of it has to do with our summer oversaturation, but why do you think shows like this do well overseas and then don't make it here?
Answer: Some do, some don't. The problem this summer, as you said, is oversaturation. I didn't even get to see The One, because it premiered while I was away at press tour and was canceled before I got home (and I'm not so diligent as to waste time screening DOA shows). ABC in particular has had a tough time landing a viable reality contender this season, and while a lot of it may be the show choice (One Ocean View sounds like it

Utility VehiclesMini ExcavatorsSkid Steer & Track LoadersTractor Loader Backhoes
Commercial MowingLawn TractorsGarden Tractors
John Deere 990 Specifications
Strengths Very strong, If you are looking at this tractor to buy do it.
Weaknesses Battery
Overall I agree they do have a battery issue. The batttery needs to be better secured and last longer.overall outstanding. I purchased from the dealer in 2001.No regrets
Strengths Always starts and strong pull-Have a 2000 yr model for the last 3 years and not one problem-my land has several 50% grades and even in mud has never bogged down--this tractor is tough and I'll probably keep it in the family forever
Weaknesses needs a toolbox and a little more room near floor stick shift as I alway hit the stick when dismounting the tractor
Overall I Love It--a little JD spray paint and this tractor looks like a brand new unit
Strengths This website is wrong, the tractor that replaced the 990 is the "4005" and is nearly identical except stickers.
The 990 is the cream of the Compact utility tractors.
I have owned a bunch in 20 years and this is the one to have. Starts easy, Power forever, BACKHOE CLEARANCE!!
Greaseable LOADER BUSINGS from the SIDES!!
Weaknesses Only one handle on fender. I wouldnt mind steps on both sides but not huge deal. Have had to do battery as well on these. ROPS does NOT FOLD. Seems only Hydrostatic tractors have them. model. The 300CX loader has less lift than the older 440 loader, could be due to cast iron mounts made in China.
Overall This tractor is still being made as the model #4005
Seems the Yanmar John deere's dont get the credit they deserve. Tons of folks have them but they never show up in any history books for more than a mere mention.
Great equipment. NOTE: Get a additional>> Extra capcity loader bucket for snow!!!
Strengths Very powerful. Feels like more than 40 hp Reliable, never fails to start right up and do what is needed
Weaknesses Oil filter mounted on side of engine is messy to change, no right side step.
Overall In ten years I have only had to replace one battery and do regular maint. on it. Very good on fuel. Never had any problems at all.
Weaknesses As others have noted, I had to replace a battery once. It was the result of corrosion on the battery cables. Now I simply keep the cables & connections lithium greased and they're fine.
Overall I've had my JD990 for 4 years. I've moved an awful lot of rock, gravel, dirt, downed trees with the 430 loader. The 4WD works well. Recently had a big dump of snow. I put my 16" truck chains on the front wheels and turned the 990 into a snow mobile; there's no hill I can't climb. I'm very happy with this machine.
Strengths Possible good resale value
Weaknesses Continues to have battery problems, a lot of corrosion buildup at battery terminals, Dealer replaced cables.
However the discharged battery needs occasional charging.
Very aggrivating when I think of what I paid for this machine and I am sure John Deere know that is a problem with their 990's
Overall Nice strong good tractor. Has served me well except for the battery problem.
For a $20,000 machine they might have provided a tool box and port side step.
I never get used to the front end controls being next to my right leg
Strengths Very strong for a 40 HP. This little baby does everything I want it to do and then some. GREAT machine.
Weaknesses The only problems I have had is the battery has needed replaced three times so far but the dealer has always prorated it and backed up their products.
Overall Overall, this is a great mower for its size. We purchased the 990 new and have over 300 plus hours on it now. I brought the 990 in Jan of 2002 with a 6' JD Bushhog and then a year later I had the JD Front End Loader put on it and have loved it. Other than the battery it has given me flawless service. I am really hard on equipment and this little jewel can really take the abuse. I have had several brands over the years but since the 990 came along I will always buy JD in the future. NO I am not a dealer.......
Strengths Does everything I want. 40HP feels like more.
Very solid machine.
Weaknesses None So far.
Overall Very Happy with performance.
Strengths Everything, 40 HP feels like more power than that, total solid machine. 4 Cyclinder Yanmar is everithing that I heard it was, smooth,powerful and easy on fuel !!!
Weaknesses Cost of John Deere implements to go with it.
No easy access step on right side
Overall Great tractor that I found at an unbeatable price.
Better to deal with than my local Kubota dealer

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Fort Myers Regional Partnership, Lee County's Economic Development Office, announced today that the county has approved financial incentives for Gannett Co., Inc. to expand operations in Lee County. Gannett plans to create a centralized online advertising operations department. This will create 35 full-time jobs with salaries in excess of 109% of the Lee County average wage. The economic impact in the county for this project is expected to be over $2.1 million over the next 2 years. As part of the project, Gannett will receive an incentive of up to $105,000 from the Lee County Job Opportunity Program.
"We are excited about the jobs that Gannett will be creating in Lee County," stated Jim Moore, executive director of the Fort Myers Regional Partnership, Lee County's Economic Development Office. "They will contribute to the economic health and business diversification of Lee County and provide high-wage jobs to qualified candidates in our community."
Mei Mei Chan, publisher of The News-Press, said, "Gannett weighed a variety of factors in choosing the site for this business unit, including cost of living, cost of labor, ease of doing business, strong infrastructure, ready transportation and access to a talent pool. We look forward to creating valuable jobs for the residents of Lee County as we continue to improve our products and services."
Gannett is investing in digital development, in content and in advertising solutions. It is centralizing the advertising fulfillment efforts for most of its local media properties to streamline processes, ensure high quality and adapt quickly to changing market needs. This business unit will be the operational fulfillment of digital advertising campaigns for Gannett local media properties nationwide.
Jeff Book, a long time Florida resident and FGCU graduate, is returning to the Fort Myers area to lead this group. "I am excited for both personal and professional reasons to be returning to Southwest Florida, and to bring high tech, digital jobs of the future to Fort Myers," said Jeff Book, director of Local Digital Ad Operations.
"The News-Press, one of Gannett's 82 newspapers, is the largest manufacturer in Lee County and has been a wonderful partner with the City of Fort Myers as one of our Enterprise Zone businesses. The city is proud to have been chosen as the location for Gannett's expansion and looks forward to the jobs that will be created as a result," said Mayor Randy Henderson.

I know this to some people might sound very stupid question, but is Honeycomb only for tablets? I am making a thesis project developing an Android app for mobile: which version would you suggest I should use? The one that is most popular, I guess?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Yes. currently only for tablets. However the goal is combining the phone and tablet os on the next release, named Icecream Sandwich. It was also said at Google I/O that there will be a Gingerbread release bringing some features from Honeycomb.
See the chart published by google at http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html. This will give you an idea of which platform to develop for.
Gingerbread 2.3.3 is most popular to develop for right now, it has few new APIs that supported hardware acceleration. And Android Ice Cream Sandwich has backward compatible support for older Android SDK .

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a 26-year-old bank employee in Anchorage, Alaska, embezzled more than $4 million the old-fashioned way - by carrying it out of the building.
Gerardo Adan Cazarez Valenzuela is charged with stuffing $4.3 million into computer boxes and rolling it out of a KeyBank vault on a cart.
He was arrested Aug. 1 in Mexico and indicted Wednesday.
An FBI agent says in an affidavit that Valenzuela, also known as Gary Cazarez, had worked as KeyBank's Anchorage cash vault services manager and stole the money July 29.
The FBI says Valenzuela flew to Washington state, bought guns, met his girlfriend and drove to Tijuana, Mexico. He reportedly boarded a bus to the nearby state of Sonora and was carrying $3.8 million when he was stopped at a checkpoint.
