15 year old Sage is the fourth and last orphan that nobleman Conner collects for his ruthless empire building scheme. Connor swears them to secrecy by promise of swift death and reveals his bold plan. One of them will become Prince Jaron of Carthya, missing for years and believed drowned at sea. That orphan will ascend to the throne as sole survival of the royal family. Conner will train them all rigorously for two weeks, and then he will accompany the chosen orphan to the palace to meet the council as the missing prince Jaron.
Sage gobbles his food as they gather round their campfire but he feels no loyalty to anyone around the fire and vows to escape at all costs.
But the problem for the boys is stark and simple; there are four of them and only one Prince. Conner feels he's chosen these ragtag orphans wisely for his plan; as who could possible miss and report foul play of another dirty orphan thief? Or has he thoroughly considered the possibility of Prince Jaron actually being alive after all or the long tradition of royalty that has its own secrets and surprises?
I thoroughly enjoyed this royal court adventure mystery and you will too!!
Birth Marked was one of my favorite reads of last year. The harsh environment of the Enclave stayed with me for a long time as did Gaia, the girl who stood against the authorities. Well, in Prized, she flees into the wasteland with her baby sister but without Leon, looking for the village rumor said her grandmother found. But she runs out of supplies and her sister is near death when she is captured and taken to Sylum, a community run by women with a very strict set of rules. Men, who outnumber the women, have little rights. And here fewer and fewer girls are being born here and no one knows why or what to do about it. They take her sister away and force her to submit if she wants to see her again. Yet whereas she was overlooked in the Enclave because of her scar here she is valued, vied for.
Gaia is such a wonderful heroine, strong, stubborn, with a profound sense of justice. You know she will do the right thing, whatever the consequences. This new society is so different and yet so perplexing to her: How can it be a crime for someone to kiss her if she agreed to it? How can it be OK for only some to have the vote? How can a woman be won as a prize? And, more importantly, if the rules are unfair, why is no one trying to change them?
I liked Prized just as much as Birth Marked, maybe even more. The world building is just as complex, and the storyline just as intense. And O'Brien, like Gaia, never takes the easy path. If this is the year of dystopian novels, this one stands out for me. Try it.

Seven teens are sent to a remote "camp," an institution equipped to cure them of their profound fears. Fort Eden, however, is no summer camp. It is an isolated bunker, run by a prickly caretaker and the elusive program leader, Rainsford. One teen, Will Besting, knows there is more going on here than traditional treatment. Will must face his own demons and survive if he is to help the others. But can any of them truly overcome their fears?
Dark Eden, as the title implies, is a dark, disturbing book. The reader, along with Will, acquires snippets of information about what is really going on. The story is richly woven and hauntingly intriguing. You will want to know what is going on in that basement, even as you realize that knowing comes at a great cost. As with many horror movies, you will want to yell at Will and tell him, "Don't open that door!" But, of course, he does. And therein lies the thrill. Dark Eden is a must read title for fans of the psychological thriller.
High school student, Hartley Featherstone, is having a rotten day. Not only does she discover that her super-cute boyfriend is cheating on her, but everyone in the whole school knows the details except her. When her weasel of a boyfriend doesn't answer her texts, she storms his house. He's not home, but Hartley makes a grim discovery. The uber-popular, Color Guard Girl that Josh has been cheating with just fell out of said boyfriend's closet and she's dead; strangled with her iPod ear buds.
Josh convinces Hartley that while he did cheat on her, he's innocent of murder and elicits Hartley's help in finding the real culprit. She teams up with her best friend, Sam, and Mr. Tall-dark-and-handsome, Chase Erikson, to find out who really killed the queen of the Chastity Club and the illustrious leader of the Color Guard Girls.
Deadly Cool is set in the Silicon Valley, making it a particularly fun read for Northern California teens. This is a smart, hip, tightly woven mystery. The author's dry wit and snappy dialogue will grab you immediately; you'll enjoy the ride with Hartley and her friends as they solve their classmate's murder.
If you are pining for more stories from the world of Vladimir Tod, the wait is over. Do you remember Vladimir's friend and Henry's cousin, Joss - the vampire slayer? Did you ever wonder what made him become a slayer? Heather Brewer takes us back to Joss' childhood, soon after his sister is killed by a vampire. Joss is wracked with guilt for not being able to save her and no one believes what he saw except his uncle Abraham.
When Joss is 13, he joins his uncle to learn to be a slayer. He is the youngest boy to ever undergo the training and his uncle is very, very hard on him. Worse, it turns out that the local vampires are killing the slayers, one by one. Is there a traitor in their camp? Can they really suspect Joss?
Chock-full of action and tales of survival, this has a different feel from the Vladimir Tod books. Joss is alone and friendless at school, invisible to his parents, and so much younger than the other slayers. Who can he trust? Is this really the right path for him? I look forward to seeing him back in Bathory with the old cast of characters in future books.
Fifteen-year-old Stephen has traveled his entire life with his father and grandfather. They scavenge a meager existence out of the wreckage of the United States after a virulent strain of influenza wiped out two-thirds of the population, and a catastrophic war with China eliminated any chance of recovery.
When Grandpa dies, Stephen's Dad takes charge and makes a good decision with devastating results. He risks their lives to help two strangers, something that Grandpa would never have allowed in this "each man for himself" world. When Stephen's Dad is grievously wounded, it is up to Stephen to shed everything he has learned about survival. He is faced with a life-changing decision--to trust or not to trust. This question has unanticipated consequences, not only for him, but for the citizens of Settler's Landing that take him in.
Not just any old story about werewolves, this is the epic journey of one boy, an ordinary shepherd's son in the kingdom of Lyssia, who must learn to embrace the power of his transformation in order to save the kingdom. After witnessing the savage murder of his mother, Drew's anger and hurt boil up within him and he transforms. But he is terrified by this power and flees the only home he has ever known and the father who thinks he is the murderer. Numerous adventures unfold as this page-turning novel tracks Drew from his escape into the Dyrewood to his captivity by the Werelords. Why is he of such interest to them? Why can't he just live his life in peace? The answers to these questions lie in his blood, for he is the last of the werewolves and the only hope against the tyranny of an evil king.
You won't want to put this book down. Action-packed and brimming with horrifying were-creatures, this is truly a test of good versus evil. Does Drew have what it takes to become the hero good needs to prevail? This first book in a series will have you panting for more.
It's true the Henley Museum heist by Kat and her crew was gutsy and brilliant, earning them serious attention by the world's best criminals. Now Katarina Bishop's back from a quick trip to Russia.

Girl power resounds from this fun, light-hearted story of good versus evil (with a delicious dash of Prince Charming)! When Jess Parker is invited into the Cinderella Society (Cindy's for short), she can't imagine why they would want her. After all, she's new in town and has already become the enemy of one of the most popular cheerleaders at the school. But the Cindy's offer Jess a place to belong, AND a makeover. It just doesn't get better than this! Unfortunately, with all this good comes the knowledge of the Wickeds - you know them, those mean manipulative females focused on humiliating the Reggies, us innocent, regular people. There's an age-old battle between the Wickeds and the Cindy's, one that extends far beyond the borders of Jess's high school and involves many of the most powerful women in the world. Does Jess really have what it takes to be a Cindy and is she willing to risk her new found image and popularity to right wrongs?

Imagine a future where we have run out of drinkable water. Where the ice caps have melted, counties dam their rivers and suck clouds from the sky, where the rich control what is left of the drinkable water, and countries are at war over water rights. Stracher imagines a bleak, stark world, so real you can feel the ever-present threat of dehydration. Who and what would you sacrifice? And how far would you go to protect your last shred of hope?
Meet Vera, a girl whose mother is sick, whose father can barely provide enough food and water for the family, who meets Kai, a boy who has water to spare, who travels with a guard, who talks of a secret untapped river that he will one day show her. Kai disappears as suddenly as he appeared in their lives, leaving behind his medicine and a dead bodyguard, and Vera persuades her brother Will to help her try to find him - with no idea how dangerous or difficult this will be. And thus starts a non-stop action thrill ride as Vera and Will traverse the country, looking for clues, running into water pirates, the people's environmental liberation army, and the evil desalination corporation, Bluewater. All to save a boy who could be the world's last hope.
This is a compulsive, utterly gripping read with a strong environmental message that will appeal to Hunger Games, Maze Runner, and Life as We Knew It fans.

Tiffany Aching is smart, practical, and brave. She is also a witch. She has a band of magical allies that are very small, blue, and rude--and she knows that, sometimes (and maybe more often than you might hope) the most important part of doing magic is doing the things that other people tend to forget, like helping an old lady cut her toenails. Tiffany is a good witch, but there are dark murmurs creeping around her, talk of stones and fires and the wickedness of witches, and a man with no eyes who seems to be following Tiffany and bringing the murmurs along with him. I like all of Terry Pratchett's books, but there are some that go right past liking and straight to instant happiness. This is one of them. Here is a world where magic and terrible monsters really exist, and Tiffany Aching is the heroine to handle them all because she knows that making difficult choices is sometimes the only thing that can save the world. I did not want to close this book.

'DAYS' Recasting EJ DiMera?
Last week when news broke that actor James Scott had completed filming his 8-year run on NBC's "Days of our Lives" as EJ DiMera, fans couldn't help but wonder if that meant the end of the road for the popular character, or if there were plans to recast, considering the actor himself cited "personal time" as the reason for his departure.
ALSO READ: 'DAYS' SHOCKER! James Scott Exiting Drama Series After 8-Year Run
While it is the soaps policy not to comment on actor contracts or casting, a representative for the series tells Soap Opera Network, "It's a soap opera – you never know!" when contacted on the status of the character post-Scott.
Share this:
- shannon smith
No one could replace James Scott IMHO!
- Andrew Hass
My guess is the show will write EJ off for a bit and let James Scott have his personal time.Then maybe in a few months they'll approach him about coming back.However right now i don't see the show recasting EJ but they could be planning for the future just in case.
- rachel
Let James and Ej move on from dull and boring Salem.
- sands of time
My DAYS are exciting! I don't know what you're watching, but Days of our Lives is heating up…BIG TIME!!!
- rachel
good for you, i find the storylines awful and really boring for the most part, the cast deserve so much better imo.
James and Ali and Blake can do so much better and find success elsewhere. They can keep their boring Jennifer, Daniel and Abby..i am sure they will make this soap so exiting by themselves..lol.
- Boddicea
So why do you keep watching if it's so boring?
- Kay
I would not be surprised to hear of a recast in a few months or so.
- shannon smith
It wouldn't surprise because look how many good decisions they made….
- Char
Days is the best soap ever! Please keep it going for years and years and years!
- Char
Please keep all of the characters, except for Nick!
- sands of time
Michael Muhney would make a good EJ, but he would have to be under watchful eyes!
- shannon smith
Let him have Abby
- truth
And given MM's rumors it is even more ewwwwwwwwww.
- sands of time
You need to extend that "ewwwwwwwww" to Y&R for creating and maintaining that type of environment for many years.
- TV&MovieBuff
I totally agree. Given that actresses like Kristian Alfonso and others at Days went through all the sexual advances and molestation from one and maybe two actors in the past — I don't think they would welcome another actor with that possible behavior. I know they had to refuse to work with one of the actors before the producers ever got rid of him.
Plus it is ridiculous to even think that Michael Muhney would come to Days of Our Lives in any role. If Sony fired him at Y&R then why in the world would the same company hire him on another one of their shows. Talk about a lawsuit if he went to Days and did the same thing there. Sony would be bankrupt by the time the women got through with them.
- Bexx
We both know the orgianal comment has nothing to do with any actual interest in MM or DOOL for that matter. Just read the comment below.
- sands of time
I'm for second chances. Don't be a fool, you know I love DOOL. MM is scared now. He's unemployed. Not many would hire him. He knows he'd be watched. DAYS has a fast shooting schedule. It would be perfect for him!
- truth
exactly and when i said eww..i talked first about the horrible Abby's character (MM deserves better than a character like that to be paired with, for rea, and the actress is awful and quite scary looking imo) and her slutting attitude towards taken and older men..another ew and finally MM real life problems give the ultimate ew. LOL.
- sands of time
Yeah, I knew I didn't like RKK for a reason.
- Andrew Hass
Since Sony produces both Y&R and DOOL i don't think they want Michael Muhney on either show.However i could see Muhney on DOOL down the line but with very strict guidelines he would have to follow and maybe with a warning that he'll be fired immediately if he messes up again.
- realitycheck
It is NOT a good idea Days, i repeat it is NOT a good idea at all !!
Try writing a new successful character for once, for pete's sake !
James Scott is Ej Dimera, the same way Alison Sweeney is Sami Brady. Did you recast Deidre Hall as Marlena ? For real…stop being dumb. Audience will not buy a recast for characters portrayed by actors equally important. jeeeeeeeezzzz.
- Happy Days
Model/Actor David Gandy would make the perfect EJ 2.0
- curious
Why Ej ? why can't he play a new character ? And you really think he would like to play on a daytime soap ?
- Happy Days
I would prefer him to play a totally new character, actually. I didn't clarify that. I love James Scott as EJ and want only him as EJ, but if for some reason he never comes back I would want the role recast to someone else because I think the character is too important to days to close out. David Gandy would be great any way we could get him! Doubt he would ever do soaps, but that would be a dream come true!
- alistaircrane
I would like to see EJ recast because I want Eileen Davidson to reprise the role of Susan and interact with her son.
- truth
And what would be the storyline ? They never did explore Ej's childhood, which is a total shame by the way..but what make you think they would try now ? Susan would be used for some ridiculous wacky short stint and Ej the character deserves better imho.
- alistaircrane
First of all, "ridiculous" and "wacky" are exactly why Susan needs to return! Days desperately needs more characters like her. I would to see EJ embrace his Banks heritage.
As for stories, Kristen should return to Salem this summer disguised as Susan, for one thing. She could hide out at the DiMansion under the pretense of visiting her "son" and no one would be the wiser, although Marlena would be suspicious. Then the real Susan would arrive and all hell would break loose. All of Eileen's best stories involved Susan impersonating Kristen or vice versa.
I am still stunned that they didn't have Eileen reprise the roles of Susan and Sister Mary Moira in 2012-13. They *finally* get Eileen back, and now her character's son is the show's leading man. That was absolutely the best opportunity to have Susan re-enter her son's life and meet her grandchildren! Yet they didn't do it! Even though they had that lame recast appear in 2011. Also, Sister Mary Moira could have been part of the Eric storyline.
By the way, I would have taken the opportunity to say that the "Susan" that Hope talked to on the phone in 2011 was actually an actor hired by Ian McAllister as part of his revenge plan.
- Andrew Hass
When Eileen Davidson returned in 2012 she did think she would be playing Susan too and even reportedly had it put in her contract that her stunt double from the past would have been her stunt double this time too.With EJ leaving this would be a good time for his mom Susan to return and maybe even help him leave somehow.
- alistaircrane
Yep. I remember when Eileen's return was announced, everyone was reporting she'd be playing Kristen *and* Susan, then it never happened. The only exit that makes sense for EJ would involve returning to England for Susan. My hope is that Susan will at the very least appear in his final episode.
- sands of time
Well, what I read was Eileen said she didn't think Susan would show up because James Reilly was no longer associated with DAYS because he was no longer alive and DAYS was way different then when he was head writer. I would have loved to see Susan and Sister Mary! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this time!!
- alistaircrane
Yeah but it's bad writing on the part of these writers to not have EJ's mother appear, especially when the actress is already on the show and EJ is the leading man. Days was way better when JER wrote the show. I no longer watch, but I would absolutely tune in to see Susan again.
- alistaircrane
As for EJ's childhood, they need to fix it, ASAP. Eileen Davidson's magnificent "The Killing Pool" exit storyline was one of Days' best stories ever. Kristen was presumed dead (actually imprisoned) and Susan had fled with Elvis. I HATED when EJ was aged and it turned out Stefano had raised him. What a slap in the fact to Susan fans everywhere! Susan's happy ending was ruined! I would do a story that reconciled EJ's original backstory, and Susan would return to help explain it.
EJ would have been raised entirely by Susan and Edmund in England. Then he would have pursued a law degree all the while pursuing his passion of racing cars. Susan and Edmund would have given him the legal name of "EJ Wells" (Wells being the maiden name of Edmund's mother Violet) to avoid drawing attention to him from the DiMeras. But Stefano would have gotten wind of this hot new race car driver and realized he was Elvis.
Stefano would have ingratiated himself into EJ's life and then revealed he was his father. Then he'd give EJ an ultimatum: leave England to take his place as Stefano's son, or Stefano would kill Susan and Edmund. EJ would have chosen to leave, but the pain of leaving his mother would have been too unbearable, so he asked Stefano for help. Stefano agreed to have Dr. Rolf implant EJ with false memories of being raised by Stefano at Maison Blanche so he wouldn't be reminded of his mother.
EJ would get his real memories back of being raised by Susan and Edmund. Together, he and Sami would take the kids and move to England to be closer to Susan and Edmund.
- GH DAYS fan
That would be totally ridiculous. I can't picture ANYONE else to play EJ DiMera than James Scott. DAYS should have given him a better contract with more flexibility and better writing, then they could probably have kept him. The same is true for Alison Sweeney.
DAYS seems to be chasing away all the great actors that got people hooked on DAYS over the last years: Chandler Massey, Camila Banus, Blake Berris…and now James Scott.
- JayTN
I have heard the complaint that "such and such soap should have given him/her a better contract, etc. to keep him/her" a lot lately. Some actors just want to move on. James Scott has been in the same role for 8 years and had appeared on "All My Children" before that. Perhaps he just wanted a break, or wanted to explore opportunities in other areas? Take a look at Mandy Patinkin. Has he ever stayed on a series for its entire run?
Recasts are always a crap shoot. Sometimes they are successful (think Peter Bergman replacing Terry Lester as Jack on Y&R) and others aren't (think Hartley Sawyer replacing Blake Hood as Kyle on Y&R). EJ seems to be so intertwined with Allison Sweeney's Sami that producers may have decided to go ahead and allow Scott to leave, instead of keeping EJ around with nothing to do. Think about it, does he really have any deep ties or connections to people other than Sami (not including his father, who is basically a recurring character who pops up every six months or so).
- Andrew Hass
Plus maybe DOOL knew with Sami gone they would have to pair EJ up with someone else and the EJAMI fans might have been against that.Now with James Scott leaving by his own choice the show don't have to deal with the fans protests.Then if and when the show brings EJ back the fans might be more accepting of him getting paired with someone besides Sami.As for how EJ might leave i'm wondering he disappears or even fakes his death to protect Sami and his kids from something or someone.That way he could go out a hero in a way and later if the show has to recast EJ disappearing could be a good way to explain him getting plastic surgery.
- TV&MovieBuff
Many are saying online that Scott had said he wanted to only work with Sweeney. So I'm sure her leaving had a lot to do with it. But I remember reading interviews with him a few years back where he talked about just moving to New Zealand someday and giving up acting.
I don't think with him it would have mattered what Sony offered, he wanted to go esp. with Sweeney gone.
- son reader
gosh, how much are they paying you to write these lengthy, but meaningless comments on virtually any thread?
- JayTN
If you don't like what I post, nobody is forcing you to read them. Simply ignore them.
- Bexx
Is James really that great of an actor? I remember seeing him years ago when he was on AMC, and his acting was so-so back then. He's good looking, and has the accent thing going on, but has he improved over the years?
- Rachel
Yep he has and his chemistry with Ali Sweeney who plays Sami was/is like no others despite the really really awful writing. The popularity is thanks to James Scott's charisma and his chemistry with Ali Sweeney, certainly not thanks to the show and the 'writing'.
- MeganLA
DAYS writers and producers have gone crazy. They're chasing away all the great actors by totally ruining their characters. They are dead last in the ratings and then they kill off a character played by one of the most outstanding young actors out there as they just did with Nick (Blake Berris). Soon, there won't be any reason to watch DAYS anymore.
- hez
No, no, no. I will definitely stop watching if they recast him or Sami. Recasts for main characters just don't work. These characters have been on the show too long. Ridiculous idea.
- Ali Wichrowski
Instead of recasting EJ let's bring on, another Dimera I would love, to watch Tony again. And make him "EJ 2.0″. So we would get a Dimera on show at least. Whenever Thaao has time from General Hospital. To tape at dool. And pull double duty of doing both. The way I think EJ will plan a getaway for himself and Sami. Once she finds out about Abigail, EJ will come clean and move to Europe alone.
- SuckaButt
Sucks that JS is not going to be on the show anymore. My wife got me into watching DOOL a few years back and now it has become a routine in our household. My favorite character is EJ, and always has been since I've started watching the show.
Perhaps since Nick Fallon got his stupid face shot off, that is how they will write EJ off the show. I'm guessing that it will either be in the realm of him fleeing because they've figured out that EJ was the one that hired the contract killer to shoot Fallon's stupid looking face off. Or, he will end up getting killed by one of Nick (stupid face) Fallon's relatives.
At any rate, the BEST SCENE this year is:
EJ dreaming that Sami found out about him and Abigail, then stormed over to her house and threw Abigail over the stair bannister…HAHAHAHAHA!
- Splashes
No, they won't recast EJ DiMera, they will bring back his young brother who will then have another tryst with Abigail while Abby can't decide between him and Ben. So it looks like Abby will be kinda taking Sami's place as the centerpiece of Salem. We'll see …
I do think that Sami/EJ & 2 of the 3 kids will leave in a blaze of glory this fall, not be shot or imprisoned. Both of them will probably return at a later date, perhaps around the 50th anniversary of Days of Lives or before that. I think it will be found that Gabi shot Nick and she leaves the show soon for prison. I'm supposing the hitman will never be found and no one will know Sami/EJ had hired him.
- jules
Ugh. The uly boring bugged eyes bland slutty and whiny and dyed haired 'Abby' could never EVER EVER EVER replace a character like Sami Brady…NEVER. They can try to make her 'happen' they already do actually but mark my words it will be a total failure…i almost laugh at the perspective..it is just too funny..like she is even worthy to lick the shoes of a character like Sami Brady..lmaooooo
- Carolyn Levesque
Impossible to recast James or Ali. They are unique. Sometimes there are shoes that
can't be filled.
- Fox
I somehow doubt they will recast (mainly because Sweeney is exiting as well). And even though I love James Scott, the role is recastable. Just give it some space and time and hire another gorgeous Brit like, David Gandy.
- Graces Girl
For 30 years I have watched DOOL, and countless times I have said "I will stop watching if..this happens..or this person leaves..and I may stop for a week or two but always get sucked back in as was the case when the mysterious EJ Wells came to town. Unfortunately this time I will stop because James and Allison were the only reason I watch. I will miss it a lot.
- Gina
HELL NO! Plan on bringing him back again. He was such great part about Days. Its hole after him I feel. James wants to take personal time off. But he can still come back after that.
- elsa
Or he can chose to work on a show who is well written and not with a team of writers who want to destroy his character every chances they get. ha. He deserves better than daytime by the way.
- Damian
I hope they recast Sami.It could work, really. Who here watched Another World.The character Victoria Hudson was recast a few times. Each actress had great success with the role
- realitycheck
nope they can't. Vicky Hudson was not played by the same actress for 22 years for pete's sake ! Would you want Deidre Hall to be recast as Marlena ? It the same damn thing. Think next time, Damian.
- Timmy Wright
I think they should just recast,,, even though it won't be the same (just like it took us a long time to get used to the new Will) we'll get used to it,,, it sucks a$$ the way they are leaving things,,, maybe Marlena will start writing again instead of trying, ,, and I say liberally "trying to act"

PASADENA, Calif. - The state's top lawyer will attempt Tuesday to save a key provision from the state's first voter-approved initiative aimed at illegal immigrants.
Attorney General Tom Horne will argue that Arizona can impose a requirement to produce proof of citizenship to register to vote. More to the point, Horne, who is arguing the case personally, contends the mandate does not run afoul of federal law.
But his interpretation of the federal law runs contrary to the majority ruling of a three-judge panel of the court last year which concluded what Arizona is doing is illegal. And one of the judges ruling against the state at that time was former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, sitting in for the hearing.
At the heart of Horne's argument will be how to interpret the language of the federal law of what states must "accept and use" for voter registration.
The 2004 ballot measure, the first of a series aimed at illegal immigrants, was mainly designed to preclude those not in this country legally from getting public benefits. But it also included two changes in voting laws that supporters said were necessary to ensure that only those legally entitled to cast a ballot would affect the outcome of elections.
In a ruling last year, the three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said nothing bars states from requiring those who show up at the polls to show identification. But the majority said a requirement to prove citizenship at the time of registration is not permitted under the National Voter Registration Act.
That law mandated creation of a federal voter registration form which states must accept and use. And the form that law created does not include proof of citizenship but instead an avowal by a would-be voter, under penalty of perjury, that he or she is a citizen.
Tuesday, an 11-judge panel of the court will reconsider the issue. Horne said he will argue that the list in the federal law of what is allowed is not exclusive of what states are permitted to accept and use.
"When you go to the airport the airlines might say, 'We accept and use E-tickets, you don't have to get a paper ticket,'" Horne said by way of example. "But when you get there, they're going to ask for photo ID."
As Horne sees it, the airline is accepting and using the E-ticket. But he said that does not mean it cannot also ask for other items.
"You also have to show photo ID or you don't get on the airplane," he said.
But Judge Sandra Ikuta, who wrote last year's majority decision, did not read the federal law the same way.
She said that Congress, in approving the law, sought to preclude states from "discriminatory and unfair registration laws and procedures" which could affect voter participation. And she pointed out the federal law says that the registration form "may not include any requirement for notarization or other formal authentication," language she said precludes proof of citizenship.
Potentially more significant, Ikuta - with O'Connor's concurrence - said the federal law "commands without exception that states shall accept and use the federal form." She said if states develop their own voter registration forms, they can only be used in addition to - and not a substitute form - using the federal form.
Horne is not relying entirely on the question of what "accept and use" means. He also will argue that, technically speaking, no one is required to actually provide proof of citizenship to register.
He said the way Arizona's voter registration form is set up, individuals need to fill in only the number on their Arizona driver's license or state-issued non-operator ID card to register. And naturalized citizens can put in the number on their federally issued naturalization papers.
"Therefore, the vast majority of registration applicants never have to submit a document," he wrote in his legal briefs.
Horne is fighting more than the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund on this. The Department of Justice weighed in with its own legal brief on how the Arizona law is preempted by the federal statute.
In his dissenting opinion last year, Alex Kozinski, the chief judge of the 9th Circuit, pointed out that a different three-judge panel, looking at exactly the same issue in 2007, unanimously upheld the Arizona law.
Ikuta, however, said that earlier ruling "was rooted in a fundamental misreading of the statute."
Both Kozinski and Ikuta will be members of the panel hearing the case Tuesday. O'Connor will not.
MALDEF attorney Nina Perales said having the full court hear the issue will enable it to issue a definitive ruling to reconcile the two conflicting ones. And Perales said she remains convinced that the full court will find the more recent decision - the one that went in her favor - persuasive.

This overview updates the main findings of the Regional Gender Report with respect to the status of women in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).1 The regional Report on Gender and Development highlighted several points. On the one hand, MENA's achievements in health and education during the 1980s and 1990s compared favorably with those of other regions. On the other hand, women's labor force participation remained low and women were underrepresented in national parliaments and in other decisionmaking bodies.
This update examines progress during 2000–2005 in five areas: economic participation, access to education, access to health care, women's legal rights, and public participation and representation, as of September, 2006. This overview will also provide information on additional work carried out in the area of gender and poverty, as well as the ongoing research on women's entrepreneurship. Although progress on this indicator during 2000–05 was greater than in any other region, MENA continues to lag, especially when the high growth is taken into account.

SpaceX touts latest gear: new module, rocket demo
Program Costs
I think Kharkov makes some interesting points about the cost of the U.S. space program, but in large part I suspect they miss the truth of it. American space exploration was launched by Kennedy with two aims in mind. One was as a means of demonstrating the 'superiority' of Capitalism on the world stage - the chief protagonist being the U.S.S.R. at the time. The other was as a means of boosting the US economy. In economic terms, the 1950s had largely been about the US shifting back from a war economy (and recovering from the costs). Kennedy's plan was simple - pour vast amounts of public funds into the space program at the top (via NASA) and then ensure that it trickled out into the broader economy by allowing NASA to award contracts. This wasn't quite a "cost no object" approach, but remember that NASA had a sponsor (Kennedy) who was very keen to demonstrate American technical prowess with a moon landing. So the start of the space program was done on a "just make it happen" budget.
The second aspect to this is to think about contemporary capability at the time: materials science was pathetically ignorant in comparison with what we've learned since. More, one of the major challenges in getting the moon program started was the development of an avionics computer capable of adjusting the vectored thrust of the launch vehicle 50 times a second. With today's technology, our reaction to that would be "Pfft!" (too easy) - back then they had to develop that capability from scratch.
Since the 1950s mankind has learned that a space program isn't merely "science fiction" but that it has a broad range of commercial benefits, including better communications, SatNav, (satellite dish) entertainment and even R&D. Operating in space has become a legitimate commercial goal.
When you combine these two major factors (the pressure to be commercially viable and the *massive* advances in the relevant sciences) it stands to reason that we should be able to start today and develop a program that is massively cheaper than NASA's original 1950s offering.
However, despite all of the above, I do think that what we're witnessing today is special - but for different reasons. If we compare not just the design but the entire mindset behind Rutan's SpaceShip One, for instance, the articulated tail section is not just engineering genius, it's a very elegant solution to the deceleration/re-entry problem... If we look at Musk's idea to allow the "spent" first stage of a rocket to retain just enough fuel to safely land itself... Then it's becoming clear that we've moved beyond the occasionally wasteful "just enough to work" mentality of the "public sector" space program of the 1950s, and are now looking at a commercially viable future.
Haswell micro: Intel's Next Unit of Computing desktop PC
It looks as though Intel are leaving the best of their kit for others (Apple) to debut. When you look at the best of what's been announced (i.e. Haswell with Iris Pro 5200 graphics) then the only vendor selling actual kit is Apple with the Macbook (inc Air/Pro) ranges that include Retina Display.
Hopefully 2014 will see availability spread to other manufacturers. When it does, this particular offering will be consigned to the parts bin. Personally, I'd wait for something like a 16Gb, i5, 5200-based Intense, from fit-pc.com. That would be entirely passively cooled (completely silent) and have two digital monitor output ports - likely HDMI and DisplayPort. The 5200 GPU has the bandwidth to comfortably support a pair of 1920x1200 monitors (or a single 2560x1600) and we'll likely also see something with decent optical output.
This gets us close to an ideal configuration for, say a web developer, with one screen for a browser and one for an IDE, with decent sound output and no noisy fans. I can live in hope, I suppose...
Tesla's Elon Musk v The New York Times, Round 2
The Balance Of Evidence
This second round of claim and counter-claim brings some useful additional data to the table. Fortunately, we can ignore most of it, as stated here, as a bit of "he said, she said". What we can't do, however, is ignore the facts.
Our NYT journalist, in their article, made very clear mention of the fact that they used cruise control in order to preserve battery life. If you look at the analysis data provided by Tesla, it is impossible to spot any period of the test drive during which cruise control was active - the vehicle speed is just a series of irregular spikes, even when on a sustained run. Point 1 to Tesla...
Where our NYT journo did get specific about aspects of the journey - for example he was very clear and precise in terms of reporting different vehicle speeds, taken from the dashboard of a car on which the speed is very, very easy to read. The data from the trace - and this is clearly visible - reports very different speeds. Point 2 to Tesla...
Our journalist is also very specific about the timing of charges during the journey. Once again, the Tesla trace data reports this very differently. It is important to note with this point that whilst in his latest response our journo replies with the answer that he was doing what the people from Tesla told him to do... or that he stopped charging when the range indicator said the vehicle had enough charge... Thinking about that, it almost makes sense on the surface. However, if you gave me a car capable of 40mpg for a test drive, and I put 2 gallons of fuel in the tank for a 50 mile drive, I think you'd agree that in reasonable conditions it would get me there. But if I drove around at 6000rpm in 1st gear, chances are it would not. So the response that "I stopped charging when the guage said I should get there..." is a little specious if the unfinished remainder of the sentence is, "... and then drove like a plonker to ensure I wouldn't." Point 3 to Tesla.
Final thought. Whilst I'd concede that Musk's rebuttal is a bit heavy on the righteous indignation, it is very clearly supported by graphically presented, factual data, captured from the actual vehicle performing the actual test drive. I notice with keen interest that whilst the journalist is very heavy on responses, at not one point does he respond with: "Your data is wrong." That speaks volumes.
[ Oh, FWIW, I'd consider myself a complete petrolhead and have zero interest EVs... but in this case it looks like a journalist being caught out trying to make up a salacious story and being caught in the act... ]
Review: Samsung Chromebox
And The Target Was?
Lots of interesting comments already made and I agree with the assessments of the review and comments that question the point of this product. Maybe we all got it wrong by considering it to be aimed at consumers? Suppose it was aimed at Apple instead - a device that was intended to try and compete with the latest incarnation of the Mac Mini, but one which was critically compromised by the choice of OS, limited thanks to Samsung's partnership with Googe over Android?
As others have posted, there is no shortage of viable (and much better) alternatives out there.
Quite a few people mention the Acer Revo PC. I had one of these, but just replaced mine with the Shuttle X35. The advantages of the latter are:
Faster Processor
Completely silent fanless design
More powerful on-board graphics extends display capability to 1920x1200 pixels
Add an SSD and you've got a seriously quick, fully featured machine capable of stand-alone operation.
I partnered mine with Ubuntu 12.04 (works fine with Mint, too) and I get accelerated graphics courtesy of an Intel driver, snappy response and ultra-low power consumption.
Yes, I must concede that it costs more than the Samsung - especially if you opt for a decent SSD - but it's so worth it.
This Samsung mess has just got to be prompted by the desire to poke Apple in the eye, as opposed to real consumer demand...

He won't ever admit it publicly, but food writer JJ Goode has what basically amounts to a dream job: As a cookbook writer you could call him a ghostwriter he spends a bulk of his time hanging out with the country's best chefs, alone, while they cook him amazing meals chefs like April Bloomfield (Goode co-wrote her first book; the duo is at work on a second) and Pok Pok's Andy Ricker, whose first book will come out next year. "Usually I'm writing in my coffee shop," he tells us. "But it's funny, you caught me on a week where I had more meetings than usual." We know Goode, and we also know that he says this every time we talk about his job. So why won't he just admit that it's a great gig? "Okay, it is pretty awesome. Just the fact that I get to spend two hours watching April make fresh pasta it's amazing." To read about that pasta, impromptu picnics, and one ill-advised octopus breakfast, continue on in this week's New York Diet.

I had an iced espresso at Bittersweet, the coffee shop near my apartment I go to just about every morning. Ive been going to this coffee shop to work since they opened, like, five years ago. The same people come in every day, so I get to say hi and chat a bit, like Im in an office. Otherwise, freelancing would be really lonely.
I almost always get iced espresso. I think its probably heretical or something, but I really like cold coffee. Winter, summer, whenever.
I have a bad habit of not eating anything until noon, when I feel like Im going to pass out. But since I had a meeting at one, I decided to go home at 10:30 and make myself an atypically early lunch: pasta with anchovies, lemon, and some arugula and asparagus that were slowing dying in my fridge. I used whole-wheat spiral pasta. Spiral because its the best pasta shape ever and whole wheat because its part of my wishy-washy attempt at healthy eating.
Im starting to help someone with a cookbook (I signed a contract promising I wouldnt reveal who thats a first!), so we met at her apartment and I watched her cook. The first thing she made was really tasty: roasted asparagus with soft-boiled eggs and a spicy, yogurty sauce. I had a big serving with some bread, then I ate another soft-boiled egg, because wed made a bunch of them to test the timing. We made some other stuff, including a few breakfast smoothies, too, so I guzzled a couple of glassfuls of a banana one and then one with papaya and blackberries.
My father-in-law and his wife were in from Philly, so for dinner we went to Fonda in Brooklyn. I worked with the chef, Roberto, on a cookbook, and hes one of my favorite people in the world. We shared tasty things a braised duck enchilada-like thing with a creamy habanero sauce; little tacos, with fried fish that gets chopped up and tossed with cilantro, onions, and olive oil; fish with achiote butter and pickled red onions, which was awesome; and I kept stealing bites of my sis-in-laws enchiladas in mole negro, because its sooooo good. Because it was Friday, I had several margaritas. Desserts (avocado cheesecake!), tequila, sleep.
Saturday, May 19
Iced espresso at Bittersweet with wifey, then to the Fort Greene farmers' market. As usual, by the time I got home I was all jittery. I had some chorizo in my freezer, so I cooked a link and heated up some tortillas from Hot Bread Kitchen and made three little tacos with leftover salsa verde.
My father-in-law was so excited that I got to help with April Bloomfields cookbook and really wanted to try one of her restaurants. But for several reasons, going to the Spotted Pig or the Breslin on a Saturday night would have been too much. So I decided to have everyone over to my apartment and cook a bunch of stuff from her cookbook. I get overexcited when people come for dinner and cook, like, three too many dishes, messing two of them up entirely and serving dinner at eleven o'clock. Today, though, I decided to start cooking early, at like two-ish. While I cooked, wifey made me a little bowl of these tasty, tiny cucumbers with Greek yogurt and salt. So good! I had some iced ITO EN green tea from a giant jug, which is my favorite drink ever.
Somehow I got everything ready(ish) only half an hour after everyone got to my place: I made smooshed chicken liver on toast; carrot, avocado, and orange salad with cilantro; lamb meatballs with tomato sauce that has coriander and cumin and mint and yogurt all up in there. I also made potatoes fried in duck fat, but I tried using these awesome potatoes from the farmers' market, assuming that because the potatoes were tastier the result would be better, too. For some reason they werent quite as good as usual. Still, duck fat potatoes!
We drank really good wine with dinner. I know nothing about wine except that I love red wine that smells like manure and white wine that smells plastic-y, like a freshly opened Ninja Turtle action figure.
Sunday, May 20
Bittersweet, iced espresso, and a few bites of scone. Around noon, my friend who works at the coffee shop handed me a little cheddar cheese snack. Score!
I got jittery, so I headed toward home. On the way, I passed by Romans and I dont know why I pretended I was going home and not going in to sit at the bar. Im not a big breakfast-food person, so I love how they dont serve omelettes and French toast. Instead they just do really good food that occasionally has a poached egg on top. I managed to not order the carbonara (because of my increasing roundness). Im also trying to eat less meat or at least be more thoughtful about it, so I ordered the wild greens and polenta soup, which the waiter then informed me contained bits of oxtail and short rib. It was delicious.
I had an impromptu early picnic dinner in Fort Greene Park with wife and my lovely coffee-shop-worker friend. Leftover lamb meatballs, bread, feta-pinenut spread from Brooklyn Larder (a.k.a. the Happiest Place on Earth), arugula salad with carrots and radishes, strawberries with crème fraiche. And a beer. When I got home, it was this amazing British sitcom Peep Show and some gin with lime and seltzer. My wife is obsessed with her seltzer-making machine, so Im always putting seltzer in stuff. I really want to try carbonating my iced green tea, but (a) she wont let me and (b) it does actually sound kind of gross.
Monday, May 21
It was raining hard, so I was lazy and got to the shop at nine-ish and had my iced espresso. Jitters a few hours later, then home. I had finished all my lamb meatballs yesterday, but I had a bunch of sauciness left over, so I was dying to make pasta for the sauce. But my stove wouldnt turn on! Why?!
I ended up microwaving the lamby tomato sauce and toasting some of a baguette (ok, like, two-thirds of a baguette). I also had some smooshed chicken liver left over, so I had a shmear of that on bread, too.
I made myself a smoothie with yogurt and frozen berries and flax seeds, which have antioxidants or something healthy in them and are actually kind of fun to nibble on once theyre busted up.
I had an early dinner because I had an indoor soccer game (fighting roundness!) and made spaghetti with asparagus and breadcrumbs, which I had leftover from meatball cooking. And I found some corn from last summer in the freezer (I was so proud of myself for thinking to freeze it, but then I forgot to eat it all winter) and added some shallots and some droopy old herbs.
Tuesday, May 22
Early iced espresso. I had a meeting near Koreatown, so I went into the city and got breakfast first. I popped into a place at random (New Wonjo) and ate bibimbap with octopus and of course picked from the little dishes Korean restaurants give you for free, including green beans with tiny anchovies and what tasted like steamed parsley (is that a thing?). Oof, turned out not to be the best idea for breakfast. Stomach hurting. I pounded an iced green tea.
Next meeting was a cooking session with my asparagus-and-soft-boiled-egg chef and we made some simple dishes, including an awesome kale and kumquat salad and a tuna and white bean salad that tasted healthy, but in a good way.
Still not that hungry around dinnertime. But I had bought some stinging nettles on Saturday and was determined to use them. I made a little sauté with mushrooms. It was okay, not particularly good. I had it with some bread spread with leftover crème fraiche (argh, roundness!), then a bit later, I felt like having something comfy, which meant two nice Hot Bread Kitchen tortillas with lime and salt.
Wednesday, May 23
Iced espresso. Two rugelach. No octopus.
I was super-excited because I had a cooking session with April, for her next cookbook. We met at the Spotted Pig and I watched her make fresh pasta for a couple hours, which made me feel like the luckiest person in the world. By the time she cut tagliatelle, we were both starving. While I was waiting for the water to boil, I had a slice from a giant ham someone gave her. Then she tossed the pasta with asparagus and crème fraiche and Parmesan and I had a big bowl. So good. Even she had a whole bowl, and shes usually too disappointed in her own food even when I think its phenomenal to eat more than a bite or two. Shes funny like that.
Rarely do I have two cooking sessions in a day, but after April rolled out an easy tart dough for us to cook the next day, I took off to meet my soft-boiled-egg chef and she made a truly awesome roast chicken (I gobbled a leg and the tasty tail/butt thingie). I drank some smoothie and had a bite or two of a tasty shellfish-and-cauliflower dish.
That night, I had soccer again at a weird time, so I rushed home and ate a slice of pizza from the place across the street. After soccer, I had a bowl of leftover asparagus and breadcrumb pasta with some of the corn all mixed up.

Video Applications Provides Hardware Support for Intel InfoScape Interactive Cube Thatâs Anything But Square
Intelâs InfoScape interactive cube wowed the crowds at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year where Video Applications Inc. (VAI) provided hardware support for the attraction that was conceived and developed by Foghorn Creative. CNN.com featured InfoScape on its cover and declared it one of the â10 Cool Toys from CESâ? while DVICE.com touted its âjaw-dropping graphicsâ? and Inside Scoop called it âthe best thing at this yearâs CES.â?
So what exactly generated all this buzz? The InfoScape âcubeâ? was actually composed of two 7-foot square, high-resolution (1920×1920) touchscreen interfaces that met at right angles. Powered by single Intel Core i7 processors, the InfoScape screens rendered over 500 image-based, live content links at a time from sources like Flickr and Google News. Dozens of users at a time could select and navigate the graphic links in real time via a multi-touch interface.
âThe challenge from Intel was very straightforward: Show us a new way to interact with data that weâve never seen before,â? says Don Richards, creative director with San Francisco-based Foghorn Creative. âAnd do it with a standard, off-the-shelf machine.â?
Foghorn combined an Intel Core i7 PC with a modern, cutting-edge aesthetic to deliver graphics and information that attracted and engaged CES attendees who are accustomed to innovative displays. âCompared to traditional media, this type of alternative, technology-driven marketing is often more effective because it essentially demands a response. Now that the technology that Intel provides is so incredibly powerful, these new techniques can be combined with imagery of incredible quality…â? notes Richards. âAdvertising and marketing can now take the best of interactive, broadcast-quality imagery, mix in a high level of graphic design, and deliver a powerful package to consumers.â?
VAI supplied ânose-to-tailâ? projection and image management support for Foghorn during the development process and installation, according to Richards. The Intel Core i7 PC output high-resolution video to a Christie Vista Spyder, furnished by VAI, which performed a vertical blend on the two horizontal images and sent the output to four Christie Roadster HD10k-m projectors. The imagery for each InfoScape screen was entirely generated from one computer.
Richards points out that onlookers could select from 18 different streams of information (i.e. including Flickr, Twitter, info about the processors, and info about Intelâs Sponsors of Tomorrow campaign) and all could be sorted along different parameters. But the system was data agnostic in principal. âYou can feed it most anything and use it with extremely large data sets.â?
He calls VAI âour partnersâ? in the high-profile project. âThey really extended themselves throughout the process, providing space for us to work in and making gear for the mock ups affordable for us. Ultimately the project looked great and our client was thrilled.â?

Operating in a world dominated by millions of malware-infected hosts acting as proxies for the facilitation of fraudulent and malicious activity, the Web's most popular properties are constantly looking for ways to add additional layers of authentication to the account registration process of prospective users, in an attempt to undermine automatic account registration tactics. With CAPTCHA under automatic fire from newly emerging CAPTCHA solving/breaking services, re-positioning the concept from what was once the primary automatic account registration prevention mechanism, to just being a part of the 'authentication mix' these days, in recent years, a new (layered) authentication concept got the attention […]

Cybercrime Trends 2013 – Year in Review
It's that time of the year! The moment when we reflect back on the cybercrime tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) that shaped 2013, in order to constructively speculate on what's to come for 2014 in terms of fraudulent and malicious campaigns, orchestrated by opportunistic cybercriminal adversaries across the globe. Throughout 2013, we continued to observe and profile TTPs, which were crucial for the success, profitability and growth of the cybercrime ecosystem internationally, such as, for instance, widespread proliferation of the campaigns, professionalism and the implementation of basic business/economic/marketing concepts, improved QA (Quality Assurance), vertical integration in an attempt to occupy […]
Malware propagates through localized Facebook Wall posts
We've recently intercepted a localized — to Bulgarian — malware campaign, that's propagating through Facebook Wall posts. Basically, a malware-infected user would unknowingly post a link+enticing message, in this case "Check it out!", on their friend's Walls, in an attempt to abuse their trusted relationship and provoke them to click on the malicious link. Once users click on the link, they're exposed to the malicious software. More details:
Webroot's Threat Blog Most Popular Posts for 2012
It's that time of the year! The moment when we look back, and reflect on Webroot's Threat Blog most popular content for 2012. Which are this year's most popular posts? What distinguished them from the rest of the analyses published on a daily basis, throughout the entire year? Let's find out.
Cybercriminals target Twitter, spread thousands of exploits and malware serving tweets
Twitter users, beware! Over the past several days, cybercriminals have been persistently spamvertising thousands of exploits and malware serving links across the most popular micro blogging service. Upon clicking on the clicks, users are exposed to the exploits served by the Black Hole web malware exploitation kit. What's so special about this campaign? What's the detection rate of the malware it drops? Where does it phone back once it's executed? Have we seen additional malware phone back to the same command and control servers, indication a connection between these campaigns? Let's find out. More details:
Spamvertised LinkedIn notifications serving client-side exploits and malware
Cybercriminals are currently spamvertising LinkedIn themed messages, in an attempt to trick end and corporate users into clicking on the malicious links embedded in the emails. The campaign is using real names of LinkedIn users in an attempt to increase the authenticity of the spamvertised campaign. More details:
How cybercriminals monetize malware-infected hosts
The vibrant cybercrime underground ecosystem offers countless ways to monetize the malware-infected hosts at the disposal of the malicious attacker. From converting them to anonymization proxies assisting cybercriminals in covering their Web activities, to launching DDoS attacks, and using them to disseminate spam and more malicious threats, cybercriminals have a vast arsenal of monetization tactics in their arsenal. In this post we'll profile a recently advertised service offering thousands of Facebook "Likes", Twitter followers, and YouTube views, all for the modest price of a couple of hundred rubles, entirely relying on malware-infected hosts for supporting their infrastructure.

A Central Kentucky family says the VA Hospital in Lexington made a major mix-up. They tell LEX 18 that the hospital declared their loved one dead, days ago. However, that family tells us that man is still alive.
Jennifer Dunn tells LEX-18 that she woke early Thursday morning to find her husband, Danny Dunn, was unconscious. He was taken over to a hospital in Harrodsburg, then flown to the VA Hospital here in Lexington.
Dunn was then allegedly told by hospital staff that her husband was deceased. "I asked him if I could go back in there one more time before I left and when I went back in there, the man had a heart rate and blood pressure was holding good and everything," she said.
Four days later, Danny's wife says he is doing much more than breathing on his own.
"He squeezed my hand when I asked him to. He opened his eyes when I asked him to. And he grabbed my hand, last night, like this, and he pulled with strength," said Dunn.
Now the family's main goal is to have Danny Dunn moved to another facility.
Lexington's VA Hospital released a statement to LEX 18, though they would not comment on the specific situation. The statement reads: "Veterans can have confidence that our staff of dedicated and professional providers is committed to working with them and their families to honor their wishes and support their needs."
For right now, Dunn's family says they just want answers.
"They said his soul was gone and that he wasn't living no more. That he was gone long before we got him there... I mean we're just looking for answers and they won't give us any," said Dunn's son, Tyler.

This Friday my guest will be Kathy Goughenour, who left a soul-sucking corporate job to run a successful business from her cabin in the woods!
Kathy is an experienced, savvy marketer. From corporate marketing to direct sales to virtual assistant to internet marketer, she's been there and done that professionally and personally.
After taking the leap of faith to get out of the corporate rat race, her workplace changed and so did her income… it went up! She's now built several internet, home-based businesses including her Virtual Assistant (VA) business, the real estate marketing site called Lead Booster Club, and Expert VA Training, where she trains and coaches people who want to start their own Virtual Assistant work-at-home businesses.
As President, Head trainer and Coach of Expert VA Training, Kathy is quickly becoming a vital resource for helping women achieve their career and income goals as work-from-home Virtual Assistants.
After 18 years at a Fortune 500 corporation, Kathy quit (no buy-out, no golden parachute, no nothing) and followed her husband's career for a few years. Moving four times in four years, between two different countries, and from coast to coast, Kathy gained intimate knowledge of the real estate industry. She became well acquainted with the good points and bad points about shopping for REALTORS® and real estate over the internet.
In Kansas City, Missouri, Kathy met Michael K. Perry, a real estate agent who not only sold her a home, but also started her on the path of a new career. Unhappy about the lack of information on Michael's website, Kathy bugged him about improving it. After he'd heard all he could take, he asked Kathy if she'd like to work as his Virtual Assistant, then she could fix his website.
Today, Kathy lives and works in her rustic 500 square foot cabin in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks. Her husband, Tom, and two Golden Retrievers, Jack and Codi, add joy and comfort to her life. Five grandchildren, who've nicknamed her Grandma Happy, add adventure and energy to her life.
Tune in this Friday, July 30th at 8am Pacific/11am Eastern on Your Way To Work At Home. Click on the blue arrow on the upper-right where it says TOGINETRADIO LIVE.
If you have questions for Kathy, leave a comment here and she'll answer them on the air.

I'm really looking forward to our interview. I promise to give all the details women really want to know about what it's like to work from home and build your own home-based business. And, I hope to be entertaining as well!
"See" you all Friday,
Kathy Goughenour
Hi there… I am currently a Virtual Assistant here in the Philippines. Being a VA, you get a lot of Pros more than the cons, atleast I'm talking about myself. Although I am not a freelancer as Kathy is, I still enjoy the benefit of being one.

Every year, a local non-profit organization receives a big honor for all their hard work.
Today, dozens gathered at century center in south bend to see who would win the 2007 Leighton award.
The 100-thousand dollar matching grant is voted on by the community foundation of Saint Joseph County.
This year, the YWCA was the big winner.
"We're just tremendously impressed by the work the YWCA has been doing for so many years in our community and wanted to give special recognition to Linda Baechle who has done a great job," Rose Meissner,
President of the CFSJC.
"It is so exciting, I'll tell you before they announced my heart was "thump thump thump" and I was sitting there thinking please let it be us," Linda Baechle, executive director of YWCA
If the YWCA raises 100-thousand dollars, the community foundation will match the amount.

On October 25 1994, Madonna's sixth studio album, "Bedtime Stories" was released by Maverick Records. The album was produced by Madonna with co-producers Nellee Hooper, Dave Hall, Dallas Austin and Babyface.
When the self-orchestrated media onslaught that accompanied the release of her previous album "Erotica" largely overshadowed the brilliant work it contained, Madonna took a decidedly subdued approach when it came to promoting "Bedtime Stories." Interviews conducted for its release were mostly in print with a greater emphasis being placed on music – it seemed as though Madonna had little patience at the time for interviewers who insisted on turning her private life into headlines.
Both a sense of defiance and a hint of impatience with society's intolerance to her boundary-pushing provocations carried over into the work itself, most notably with album opener, "Survival" and the sardonically biting "Human Nature." But such sentiments were balanced with songs that were perhaps more personal and more poetic than she had offered on previous albums, with the possible exception of "Like A Prayer". Feelings of longing, loneliness and loss – along with early glimpses into spiritual rediscovery – are at the emotional heart of the record, with songs like "Love Tried To Welcome Me" and "Sanctuary" containing some of her most ambitiously inspired lyrics, expanding on written works by George Herbert, Carson McCullers and Walt Whitman.
Perhaps the album's most notable triumph is for Madonna as record producer, as she successfully manages to design an overarching flow that seamlessly bridges the styles of her various collaborators and co-producers. Indeed, "Bedtime Stories" is a body of work that is much more successful as a whole than it is broken down into individual tracks, which may explain why it is frequently overlooked in comparison to her more singles-driven albums of the previous decade. Even the record's mega-hit, "Take A Bow" hasn't maintained the traction in the realm of public consciousness that some of her earlier and later hits have managed to do. But when played from start to finish, "Bedtime Stories" remains surprisingly relevant through its subtleties and nuances – aptly demonstrating that even for Madonna, sometimes less is more.
"So here's my question –
Does your criticism have you caught up
In what you cannot see?"

Residents of two Alaska communities are seeking outside help after an exceptionally harsh winter left one buried in snow and the other iced in and facing a fuel shortage.
Dozens of National Guard members are helping the fishing town of

By one count, more than 10 feet of snow has fallen in the town of 2,000 in the last few weeks.
Almost 700 miles to the northwest, the old gold rush town of Nome is awaiting the arrival of a Russian tanker that's barely inching along in its mission to deliver much-needed fuel.
