Special event for young adult readers!
Kirby Larson shares Hattie Ever After ($16.99). After leaving Uncle Chester's homestead claim, orphan Hattie Brooks throws a lasso around a new dream, even bigger than the Montana sky. She wants to be a reporter, knowing full well that a few pieces published in the Arlington News will not suffice. Real reporters must go to Grand Places, and do Grand Things, like Hattie's hero Nellie Bly. Another girl might be stymied by this, but Hattie has faced down a hungry wolf and stood up to a mob of angry men. Nothing can squash her desire to write for a big city newspaper.
After Kirby Larson heard a snippet of a story about her great-grandmother homesteading in eastern Montana, she went on to write Hattie Big Sky, selected as a 2007 Newbery Honor Book. This sequel was written in part to answer many questions readers posed about the irrepressible Hattie.

A passionate student of Japanese poetry and art for much of her life, Gretel Ehrlich felt compelled to return to the earthquake- and tsunami-devastated Tohoku coast, to bear witness and listen to the survivors.

Their harrowing and inspirational stories are set against a landscape both shattered and beautiful, with the ever-present specter of the nearby Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power complex that spews radiation into the fields and the fishing grounds.

Scott Anderson - Literary Journalism and The Enduring Power of Creative Nonfiction
Creative nonfiction begins from the premise that life can speak for itself if we can only find the structures to contain it and the words to celebrate it. One of the most influential and controversial wings of this movement is Literary Journalism, an approach that was pioneered in the 1960s by wordsmith reporters like Tom Wolfe, Truman Capote and Hunter S. Thompson.After experiencing ups and downs in the 1970s, the genre saw a storming resurgence in the late 1980s with writers like Jon Franklin, David Simon and Jon Krakauer.
On Feb. 24, award-winning journalist Scott Thomas Anderson will discuss how he turned to Literary Journalism and other elements of creative nonfiction during a crisis in his writing career - the assignment of capturing, in a meaningful way, the child abuse, elder abuse, domestic violence, assaults and homicides he was witnessing around methamphetamine during his 18 months as an embedded reporter with law enforcement.
Scott Thomas Anderson is a journalist who has written for publications like The Sacramento News and Review and Sierra Lodestar magazine. He's worked as a foreign correspondent for Radio Kerry in Tralee, Ireland, and he's been published in The Irish Independent, Dublin's largest daily newspaper. Scott is currently a crime reporter for the northern California newspaper, The Press Tribune.

At seventeen, Mary Johnson experienced her calling when she saw a photo of Mother Teresa on the cover of Time magazine; eighteen months later she began her training as a Missionary of Charity, a nun in Mother Teresa's order. Not without difficulty, this boisterous, independent-minded teenager eventually adapted to the sisters' austere life of poverty and devotion, but beneath the white-and-blue sari beat the heart of an ordinary young woman who faced daily the simple and profound struggles we all share, the same desires for love and connection. Eventually, after twenty years of service, Johnson left the church to find her own path. In An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir ($16.00), her magnificently told story holds universal truths about the mysteries of faith and how a woman discovers herself.
For twenty years, as Sister Donata, Mary Johnson was a Missionary of Charity, a nun in Mother Teresa's order, until she left in 1997.

Christa Parravani's Her ($26.00) is a blazingly passionate memoir of identity and love: when a charismatic and troubled young woman dies tragically, her idential twin sister must struggle to survive. Christa Parravani and her identical twin, Cara, were linked by a bond that went beyond siblinghood, beyond sisterhood, beyond friendship. But, haunted by childhood experiences with father figures and further damaged by being raped as a young adult, Cara veered off the path to robust work and life and in to depression, drugs and a shocking early death.

Sugar and carb addicts, get help to free yourself from your potentially deadly habits with The Sugar Liberator, Connie Bennett, author of the international bestseller Beyond Sugar Shock: The 6-Week Plan to Break Free of Your Sugar Addiction & Get Slimmer, Sexier & Sweeter ($15.95).

• Dodge the #1 mistake nearly everyone makes when quitting or reducing sweets.
• Decode and even welcome your nagging sugar cravings.
• Pick yourself up after you've "slipped" and fallen off your sugar-free or no-sugar plan.
• Dissolve your desire for dangerous sweets, while still enjoying your cherished chocolate. (You'll even get healthy recipes for tasty treats.)
• Stop being duped by innocent-looking foods that are actually sugar traps.
Connie's sour-to-sweet journey began in 1998, when she was pummeled by 44 ailments, including crushing fatigue, brain fog, horrible headaches, rollercoaster mood swings, and severe PMS. When Connie's new doctor blamed every single symptom on her excessive sugar habit and ordered her to quit consuming her cherished sweets, Connie reluctantly complied. She succeeded, because while shedding her dangerous habit, Connie created cool tools to ease her dreaded and difficult transition and turn it into a positive, fun-filled, life-changing adventure. Much to her surprise, all her ailments vanished, and Connie became energetic, focused, and free. Since 2001, Connie has been coaching, guiding, and inspiring thousands of people worldwide on how to easily triumph over beat their carb addiction.

Aw man, you're gunna take til morning?! lol
Oh yeah, I forgot about days in the off-season and how it would count... the system doesnt say
i probably wont. just waiting to see what kind of offers i can get for #9 pick. id rather deal it than pick.
CP3, when will the index be updated again? i know you just did it earlier but id like to get a good look at my roster after all the moves that have been made.
Last edited by PrepP; 07-15-2012 at 06:44 PM.
I just updated Prep's so he could make his pick, I'll update all of it after my pick.
Why does everyone think that I made such a bad trade? I got rid of my second biggest cap player, got 3 picks in return (one was a first rounder), already have a very serviceable center besides Rasho, and filled a need at SF.
the mavs 2002 first is pretty low most likely that's all really.
I have a master plan. I have a player at every position that has had good numbers, has at least B potential, and is at most 25 years old.
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
Kemp is on the block for anyone who has cap space, needs a strong veteran who puts up good numbers, and is a contender. I can package him with SG Derek Anderson (Good defender and three point shooter), SF Mike Smith (veteran efficient scorer on a good contract), or SF Hedo Turkoglu (Young lock down defender).
Last edited by coltsguy510; 07-15-2012 at 08:12 PM.
Ok so I did some research. Trades to teams over the cap can be up to 115% over the cap.
A Few questions again (sorry):
Did you find out about if the offseason days count towards the 60 day rule?
Will there be the 30 day preseason and does that count to the 60 day rule?

Outfit number 3 to celebrate one of my favourite fashion weeks. I know I am a day late as Milan fashion week officially started yesterday, but I am a creature of habits and Wednesday is a Stylish quote day, so the outfit had to wait.
On the other hand they say best things happen to those who wait, so I really hope that you will like my Milan-inspired look.
It all began with an Etro jacket that had amazing details and I wanted the outfit to reflect some of the most beautiful elements of the garment.
I picked the light blue dress because Italians are very much about femininity and sensuality and a combination of powdery colour, silk, elegant ruched details of the back (you can see it if you follow the link below) and delicate pattern of the skirt were absolutely perfect. Then I thought of the shoe option and my mind went back to this very Dolce&Gabbana pair made of macramé lace – sort of the same pattern as the front panels of the coat.
The rest was easy. A statement ring for a bit of diamond sparkle and beautiful Murano glass necklace, delicate enough not to overpower the dress, but to add the tiny accents with the ice-like beads circled in gold and tangerine strokes of melted glass.
And of course, a bag that's big enough to carry all the necessities, but beautifully shaped and compact, and a pair of sunglasses for you cannot be in Milan and not wear any.
Patchwork jacket by Etro, ruched and crochet-knit dress by Missoni, Flume Murano glass chocker necklace by Antica Murina, Rita 2 sunglasses by MaxMara, Chioccia ring by Galante Visconti, Macramé Lace Ankle Boots by Dolce&Gabbana, Silvana bag by Fendi, perfume Bottega Veneta by Bottega Veneta

Danny Meyer on Hospitality
The restaurateur behind some of New York Citys most beloved restaurants shares his recipe for being the host (or hostess) with the most this holiday season
By Ingrid Abramovitch
Take Five
The ingredients that go into being a good host line up beautifully with the five senses:
• Smell: I think people lead with their nose. There is no better compliment to a host than when a guest says, "It smells great in here."
• Sight: Some hosts use a party as an excuse to clean their home, or hang that piece of art they've been meaning to hang. Go with that.
• Taste: Be generous. People shouldn't be on portion control with food or beverages.
• Hearing: I have fun assembling a playlist. It's rare when everyone likes the same music, so I shuffle: British rock and roll, Mozart, Oscar Peterson.
• Touch: Be aware of textural elements throughout a party, like silverware, stemware, and linens. But the biggest element is metaphorical: it's your own touch. How are you making people feel?

Ald. Burke: Private eye licensed to carry semiautomatic weapon
BY CAROL MARIN AND DON MOSELEY A Sun-Times/NBC5 Report December 18, 2012 10:04PM
Ald. Ed Burke (14th)
Related Documents
Article Extras
Updated: January 20, 2013 6:29AM
It might surprise some citizens that, in addition to being Chicago's most powerful alderman, Ed Burke is a private eye.
Ald. Burke (14th), who chairs the influential City Council Finance Committee is, according to state records, a licensed private detective, trained and authorized to carry a semiautomatic weapon.
Burke also is a licensed private security contractor.
He is approved by Illinois statute to carry a gun while "in the performance of his . . . duties" and carry it "to and from" his place of employment.
Where is that place of employment?
Burke's application is silent on that except to say that Ed Burke employs Ed Burke.
Burke also was trained — and approved — in 1999 to use a shotgun and rifle.
According to state records, Burke completed his most recent firearms training course in December 2011 and has a gun range score of 97 percent when tested in the use of a revolver and a semiautomatic weapon.
The Chicago Sun-Times and NBC5 News received the records through a Freedom of Information Act request. Burke has the same Firearm Control License as State Sen. Donne Trotter, who made headlines recently when he charged with trying to board a plane at O'Hare with a gun and ammunition in his possession.
The South Side senator said he forgot the gun was in his bag after working an overnight shift as a security guard.
Trotter's work as a security guard was not well-known.
Neither is Burke's work as a private detective and private security contractor.
Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation records show Burke has been a licensed private detective since Dec. 14, 1984, and a licensed private security contractor since April 17, 1987.
His Firearm Control Card was issued February 1, 2000, two weeks after he applied.
According to a state spokeswoman, the license is designed to allow security guards and detectives legal authority when they need a "weapon on the job."
The card allows a person to carry a gun "while commuting directly to or from the employee's place or places of employment." The commute must not be longer than one hour.
The cards are to be issued only after an employer makes an application to the state.
Burke does not list any detective agency on his statement of financial interest mandated by the city.
Burke, along with other City Council members, is allowed to carry a weapon thanks to an 1872 law that states that mayors and aldermen are peace officers.
But a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation said the 140-year old law does not override state licensing requirements.
Burke's security work was called into question in 1997 in a series of reports by the Chicago Sun-Times. Burke was a corporate officer in a firm co-owned by then-Ald. Patrick Huels. Burke also was the firm's licensed security professional.
The Sun-Times reported that Michael Pedicone, the other co-owner of the security firm, was paid $472,162 in consulting fees by Burke's Finance Committee. Federal subpoenas were issued in an ethics investigation but no charges were brought.
Burke has championed tougher gun laws in Chicago. In 1982, he supported Mayor Jane Byrne's push for one of the toughest gun laws in the country.
"What it does do is hopefully number one, send a message to the Congress and the state legislature that there has to be some kind of effective regulation of handguns which are wreaking such violence in our society today," Burke said on the Council floor. "What it does do hopefully is put a freeze on the number of handguns that are presently owned by the people in the city of Chicago."
The measure passed 30-11 and was on the books until a 2010 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court said cities and states could not restrict gun ownership.
Burke, in addition to being the only alderman with a Firearm Control Card, is the only alderman with bodyguards, provided by taxpayers.
The bodyguard detail and Burke's private detective license date back to the days of Council Wars, one of the most contentious times in recent city history.
In 1983, Burke was a key player in the so-called Vrdolyak 29, an all-white faction led by then-Ald. Ed Vrdolyak, doing political battle with new Mayor Harold Washington. After Burke told city officials about threats, the protective detail was assigned to him.
A Chicago Police officer until he succeeded his father as 14th Ward alderman in 1969, Burke completed his initial state firearm training in 1965, records show.
In 1978, Burke officially retired from the police department. His firearm training license, according to state records, expires in 2099.
Burke did not respond to the Sun-Times' and NBC5's questions about his private detective work, including whether he is armed when conducting city council business.

Norma:My 12 year old son wants to know if we can come over for a slice. When I told him how far away you are, he asked if you could send one by courier . I second that!Barry
Barry,I would sure send your son a slice, but don't think he would like it after it was sitting around. It would be all dried up. Norma
He'll just have to settle for "eating with his eyes", Norma.

Nail armor is just crazy to me. This trend has been seen on celebs like Katy Perry, Lady GaGa and Beyonce, but I don't get it. I mean, seriously, it just looks dangerous. The nail rings pictured above are pretty cool though, a little less dangerous looking and sort of fantastic with that nail color. I'm really into first knuckle rings right now, and I suppose this is just taking that concept a huge step further.
In the gallery are some examples of nail armor, but you can see more on buzzfeed
Would you wear any of these nail rings?

In intestinal pseudo-obstruction, foods and liquids are unable to pass through the intestine, causing a build-up of food, fluid, and gas in all or part of the colon. The symptoms of this condition acts like a mechanical bowel obstruction , but no blockage is found when doctors examine the intestine.
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is caused by problems with the muscles and nerves of the intestine.
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. The following factors are thought to increase the risk of developing intestinal pseudo-obstruction:
- Surgery
- Abdominal hemorrhage
- Intestinal ischemia (insufficient blood supply to the digestive system)
- Inflammation (eg, infection)
- Trauma
- Stroke
- Metabolic problems
- Fluid overload (eg, congestive heart failure )
- Other medical illnesses associated with pain
- Some medications
Symptoms of intestinal pseudo-obstruction may include:
- Cramps
- Stomach pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Bloating
- Reduction in bowel movements
- Loose stools
- Bladder problems
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. Other tests may include:
- Abdominal X-rays —a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body
- Abdominal CT scan —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the body
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Nutritional Support
Intravenous (IV) feeding may be necessary to help prevent malnutrition.
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to help prevent bacterial infections due to your condition. In addition, medications can be used to treat muscle problems in the intestines. Changes in your medications to eliminate some medications that can slow recovery from, or worsen, this condition.
In severe cases of intestinal pseudo-obstruction, surgery to remove part or your entire intestine may be necessary.
If the colon does not resume normal function after conservative management, the pressure build-up in the colon can be relieved by removing the trapped air with a colonoscope .
Many cases of intestinal pseudo-obstruction cannot be prevented. But certain measures can be taken after surgery to help avoid the complication of intestinal pseudo-obstruction. These measures include:
- Early oral feeding
- Gum chewing
- Fluid restriction
- Medications that inhibit opioid receptors
- Beta-blockers

- Linking behaviour and physiology of female bonobos (Pan paniscus) (2005)
- The present study investigates sexual behaviour and the importance of dominance in female bonobos. Detailed behavioural studies were carried out on four mixed-sex captive bonobo groups; morphological data and faecal samples were collected to allow non-invasive assessment of physiological parameters. First, I addressed the background for the variability in patterns of menstrual and swelling cycles in bonobos. The duration of menstrual intervals was influenced by reproductive history. Menstrual cycles and phases of maximum tumescence of the sexual swelling lasted longer in lactating females. Parity did not influence cycle patterns. Further, the variability of the duration of intermenstrual intervals was found to be mainly caused by variability in follicular phase length. The luteal phase, contrastingly, was much less variable and did not influence the length of intermenstrual intervals. This raises the question whether sexual swellings serve as a reliable indicator of ovulation in bonobos. Hormone analyses showed that the day of ovulation could not be predicted from the onset of maximum tumescence. Also detumescence of the swelling was no clear sign that ovulation had occurred. Nonetheless, sexual interactions were found to vary according to the degree of tumescence, being most frequent at maximum tumescence. The frequency of sexual interactions did not change in the peri-ovulatory phase and no difference between was seen between follicular and luteal phase. This indicates that sexual swellings are not a reliable signal of ovulation. Rather, they could be a graded signal that advertises the probability of ovulation which allows females to follow a mixed strategy of confusing and biasing paternity. Next, the context and function of same-sex sexual interactions among female bonobos were investigated. Genital rubbing took place more often between non-related than between related females. Females were able to get hold of and defend monopolisable food items without the help of other females in feeding experiments. No relationship between genital rubbing and food sharing was found and no female-female coalitions were formed during these experiments. Interventions in conflicts outside the feeding experiments were observed mainly in heterosexual conflicts but females supported each other irrespective of preferences for genital rubbing. The frequency of genital rubbing did not vary in dependence of the degree of genital swelling and the solicitation of genital rubbing was not asymmetric in dependence of the relative degree of swelling of the two partners. The degree of tumescence did not influence the frequency of received or overall aggression for a female. Although most female dyads were involved in same-sex conflicts, genital rubbing was observed in less than half of the dyads after the conflict. No increase of gg rubbing occurred 15 minutes after a conflict compared to 15 minutes before. High-ranking females took the male position during genital rubbing significantly more often than low ranking ones. The direction of initiation of genital rubbing was not influenced by social status. The data do no support the hypothesis that genial rubbing serves to form or maintain alliances, to reduce competition among females or to reconcile former opponents. However, genital rubbing may be a display of social status or may serve to reduce tension. Finally, the correlation of physiological parameters and social status in female bonobos was studied. I investigated whether females differ in their excretion pattern of the glucocorticoid 11-ketoetiocholanolone (DOA) in dependence of their social status. Based on displacements, females were categorised to either high or low social status. During the feeding experiments carried out on one group, high social status transferred in access to monopolisable food, the low ranking female was not successful in monopolising the food item. However, female social status was not reflected in the faecal excretion pattern of glucocorticoid metabolites in any of the three groups analysed. In two groups the high-ranking individuals had higher levels of iDOA than low-ranking individuals, in the other group it was vice versa. The fourth group did not allow this investigation as the high ranking individual was pregnant and pregnancy was found to result in elevated glucocorticoid levels. The results indicate that also in bonobo females, high social status translates into better access to monopolizable resources. Status dependent differences in cortisol excretion may not exist in bonobos or may become obvious only during periods of social instability. Alternatively, social status may not influence adrenocortical function but other physiological parameters of the so-called stress axes. Taken together, this study provides an interdisciplinary view on bonobo female behaviour and physiology helping to better understand the adaptive significance of a species' social and mating system.

You have and avoidance gem in your head (instead of 1/2 stam purple), an avoidance shoulder enchant, stats on your chest (instead of health), avoidance on your gloves, and armor trinket, and an avoidance trinket. Why exactly are you expecting to have a lot of health?
Replace all of those with stam equivalents if hp is your goal. I would keep wearing the armor trinket, though, since it is probably much better EH than any stam trinket you might have. If you do that, simply lower your health expectations by a couple thousand.

Sometimes this is unavoidable, but in an unleashed dog park, its safe to assume that there'll be dogs here.
Yep one of them between here and the city. On the only bike path. Maybe we need to get rid of unleashed dog parks. .
Actually the actions and fears of a reasonable person in the same situation are entirely the test of self defence. And a reasonable person would be afraid of a dog that had bitten them. Many.. many cops in the same situation have shot the dog dead and not one has been charged. About the owners... I dont care.. if he wanted the animal alive keeping it under control is his responsibility.. not as in fat dude world mine. Just last week was a story locally.. fido chewed on a cat, owner charged.. fido on death row.
But there is no point in continuing. I am conducting this conversation from the viewpoint.. i believe of a reasonable person who has been bitten... while trying to run away.. so leaving is not an option and all the evidence is his is about to get chewed up, you are conducting this conversation from the viewpoint of Fido,s owner.. "He would never hurt a fly, see.. he is perfectly safe, its just a little bite, harden up sunshine" Meh. We have no common ground. See I dont care what you know about Fido. I care about what I know. And from the evidence its that Fido is a net loss to the community. Admittedly so is his owner... but Fido is the immediate threat.
But good luck with that pressing charges thing.. its not even that you dont have Buckley's... its that the other person is likely to get annoyed and press them right back. And wind up owning your house. Thats reality mate. You actually dont have the right to discharge a dangerous weapon to the public danger. Regardless of if its an AR15 or Fido. Your only defences are that you did your best to have the animal under control (that reasonable person would have thought your actions reasonable test keeps jumping up doesn't it?) or that you had no knowledge the dog was potentially dangerous. (and Mr Reasonable Person looking at the video is the bloke who gets to decide.. Heh. Chances of a snoflake cat chased by an asbestos dog in Hell. Saying its hyperbole is crap If she sued for .. THere is a real risk here at least from the point of view of the guy being chased.
I,m done here.

Power Of An Alert PR Rep
An exceptionally enterprising PR-type, Meredith Goldblatt, suggested we could capitalize on a certain NY Times story and run a piece about Variety's "Power of Youth," a benefit held Saturday at Universal Studios on behalf of St. Jude.
So, yeah, we'll take the bait.
The benefit brought together the likes of Variety's VP & Associate Publisher Brian Gott, actress Miley Cyrus, Variety's President & Publisher Charlie Koones and actress Vanessa Hudgens (all pictured here in this shot by Jordan Strauss of WireImage.com
According to Goldblatt's release:
The inaugural event is part of Variety's new initiative to reach out to Hollywood's next generation of entertainers, in the hopes of encouraging young people to become involved with humanitarian and philanthropic efforts.
And what a youngster-filled event it was: One of the highlights was a celebrity tricycle race.

He may not have done much for the title fight in Japan but at least Fernando Alonso now holds the record for the most points scored in F1.
Starting eighth on the Suzuka grid, Alonso was up to sixth by the first corner and later climbed to fifth as he took the position off team-mate Felipe Massa.
However, the Spaniard soon found himself stuck behind Nico Hulkenberg and struggled to overtake the much-improved Sauber.
It wasn't until lap 46 that he finally shot past and up into fourth which he held onto despite Kimi Raikkonen closing fast in the final laps.
"There were some strong people in front of us and the threat from behind with Kimi but the race went good," he said.
"Fourth is a good result, from the start we recovered some positions and then we've been a little bit lucky with some Mercedes problems - both going backwards - so I think it was a good race in terms of points for the Constructors' Championship.
"In terms of pace we didn't have the pace to be on the podium but after those three we have been very competitive in the race."
Alonso's 12 points, though, not only gave Ferrari some breathing room over Mercedes, they also saw the Spaniard set a new record for the most points scored in Formula One.
He now has 1571 compared to Michael Schumacher's 1566 while Sebastian Vettel, who is on the brink of his fourth title after winning Sunday's grand prix, has a total of 1351 points.
"Even if Vettel doesn't finish all of the races I need to win nearly all so it's a matter of time," Alonso said of title race.
"It's true that we have different goals now like the Constructors' Championship; today with the problems for Mercedes we are in a better position and also today they told me I have the record of points in history so it's a happy day.
"Leading the score in one sport like Formula One is something great.
"I know the points system change some years ago but when someone overtakes me in the points no-one will remember the points system so let's try to enjoy the moment and have a little celebration tonight.

It was a 363-mile highway linking the western frontier to the Atlantic seaboard. It shaped the history of the nation and transformed New York City from a minor seaport into a commercial capital.
THE ERIE CANAL was as important an engineering project as has ever been undertaken. MODERN MARVELS® ventures back to the early days of the 19th century to tell its complete, captivating story. Despite its ambitious intent, it was originally derided as "Clinton's Folly," referring to New York governor Dewitt Clinton, who spearheaded efforts to create the canal. Just eight years later, in 1825, newspapers declared the recently completed canal "The Eighth Wonder of the World." It immediately proved its worth, generating millions of dollars in tolls, opening up the interior of the state to development and spurring the creation of new towns. For years, it remained the commercial backbone of the region, and today, it is a treasure house of history, an invaluable reminder of a vanished era.
From the first shovel of dirt to its survival into the 21st century, this is the extraordinary story of THE ERIE CANAL.
