Agricultural crops are of considerable importance to the Maryland economy and also vital to other industries, such as poultry, the leading agricultural enterprise, which relies upon certain field crops for feed and a place for waste management. To ensure profitable production, faculty members with pest management expertise in the Department of Entomology address both short- and long-term solutions to the most important arthropod-related problems facing Maryland agriculture. Management strategies that are environmentally and socially acceptable are developed and implemented to protect the unique environment associated with the Chesapeake and nearby urban areas.
Applied Research
Currently, major emphasis is placed on pest management strategies for use in corn, soybeans, small grains, forage crops, vegetables, and beekeeping. High priority is placed on applied research to solve problems and address issues of immediate concern. For example, with the introduction of transgenic insecticidal crops, Entomology faculty have taken a leadership role in evaluating benefits and potential uses of this new technology, assessing its potential impacts on nontarget invertebrates, and developing resistance management strategies. Other applied projects focus on control strategies for new emerging pests, application strategies for reducing the cost and selection pressure of insecticides, baseline monitoring and detection of pest resistance, development of economic treatment thresholds, decision aids, and monitoring methods, enhancement of biological control through conservation and landscape design, insecticide efficacy and environmental fate studies to support new insecticide registrations, and management of mite pests of honeybees.
Basic Research
Basic research toward long term solutions is underway in the areas of host plant resistance, plant/insect interactions, biology of new pest species, plant-mediated resistance, ecology and behavior of natural enemies, isolation of bioactive substances from microbial symbionts of insects, and the identification and incorporation of genes from entomopathogenic fungi into plants.
Multidisciplinary Approach
Emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary approaches, so many projects involve departmental faculty members with plant pathology, weed science, and nematology expertise, faculty from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and scientists from government agencies and the private sector.An annual report of pest management activities and projects in Maryland is posted on the Maryland Pest Management Program Website.

Here's my BSOD report.
The GeForce graphics card error is a [now] 'long-standing' problem; I doubt that has anything to do with this BSOD -Windows 7 X64 -Not the original OS (was Vista) -Full retail (legally bought) version -I bought my computer/hardware on 13th March 2007 -installed Windows 7 [32-bit] on 24th October 2009, then the 64-bit on 4th January 2011 |

Hello Gaz, You've got a lot going on there...
Please fully disable your smartcard reader, not only the usb connection in device settings, but also the respective storage volumes it tries to create (if they are visible in device settings) i.e. F:\ (SD card), H:\ (SM card), G:\ (CF card) and I:\ (MS card) Also please re-install (if you need it) your PS/2 mouse, its driver seems to be messed up. Then reboot. If you still have problems, next step is to: - Look at "STOP 0x0000003B" Stop error on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 when you use some IEEE 1394 devices - and follow: SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker and please give us a little more info on when, how, in what circumstances you get these crashes. Some background on your videocard would be good too as it is also mentioned as an issue... |

Aaaaah! Now I know what this sound is [through the speakers] that I keep hearing every time I login to Windows - and it makes that noise 4 times because there's 4 'portable drives' that has a problem!
Every time I login to Windows, I get a low "dudu-dun" sound coming through the speakers. It's been making that sound for a few weeks now, and I never thought to check that it meant "Device failed to connect" (confirmed by the default sound it makes) until you said the problem was the storage devices. I've clicked 'disable' for each of the 'Portable Devices' (and they still have the ! next to each one) - does that mean it's fully disabled then now? Also, which one is the 'USB connection' in device settings [the same as Device Manager?] For the mouse: In Device Manager, It's got 2 of them - and I'm not sure which one my mouse is using: HID-compliant mouse (which is fine), and Microsoft PS/2 Mouse (which has Code 24 next to it) How do you re-install the mouse if you need the mouse to install it again? I can't really give you much info on when, how, in what circumstances I get these crashes, as I wasn't doing anything to do with the portable devices at the time - I was just browsing the internet (with Firefox)... and maybe perhaps also running a virus scan The whole background to my videocard can be seen in this thread (and the one's linked to it). There's a reason I haven't tried sorting the graphics card out yet, which is a little long-winded to go into here. |

Sometimes there is also a problem with the usb connection to the smartcard reader. if, in your case in the device manager, the USB's are no problem, then disabling the cards as you've done should be enough and... you should not hear the beeps anymore..
About the mouse, if your current mouse is usb: delete the ps2 How frequent are these crashes? For now, lets just hope it was the smartcard reader (actually its drivers) and see if you run stable now? |

Meanwhile, media entrepreneurs are devising new news products specifically for the smartphone. Circa, an iPhone app, launched in October; by February, it had seen hundreds of thousands of downloads. Instead of excerpting reported articles, Circa's journalists compile new pieces that simply cite the originals as sources. The app is essentially a series of bullet points on the 20 or so biggest news stories of the day.
"We're just trying to inform," says Matt Galligan, Circa's cofounder and CEO. "We're looking for long-term user trust. I think even young people do still care about brands." Circa's largest demographic, accounting for about one-third of its users, is the group aged 25 to 34. Thirteen-to-24-year-olds are about one-quarter of the Circa audience.
Circa's user interface has its advantages: Sliding from one point to the next, often with relevant art, makes the most of the iPhone in a way that text emails do not. The problem with Circa is its business-side implications. Unlike other aggregators, Circa is simply condensing information on a major story from several sources, not just grabbing one story in particular—so those who are paying for the original reporting are not making money from it. Summarizing for smartphones has suddenly become big business: In March, Yahoo raised eyebrows with its purchase of Summly (for a reported $30 million), acquiring both a text-condensing algorithm and the services of its 17-year-old founder.
One might assume that a phone, with its small screen, would lend itself only to reading short items. But young readers are willing to consume longer features on their phones as well, often in several chunks throughout the day. "We've seen really surprising numbers—almost a quarter of all our traffic is on the iPhone," says Max Linsky, 32, co-founder of Longform.org, an aggregator of in-depth magazine pieces.
While nearly half of American adults own a smartphone, nearly a third own a tablet computer. A majority of all these people say they use the devices to get news. In September 2012, Pew found that 67 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds had a smartphone, versus 46 percent of all American adults. Young people spend more time on mobile phones or tablet devices than their elders, and are more likely to browse the Web and get their news via social-media platforms. A June 2012 Pew study found that 19 percent of American adults of all ages saw news or news headlines on a social network the day before being interviewed, up from just 9 percent in 2010. In the same survey, Pew reported that 34 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds said they had seen news on a social-networking site the previous day, compared with 12 percent in 2010.
Browsing the Web by typing URLs into a browser is a less-than-enjoyable experience when using a handheld device without a keyboard. So mobile-device users gravitate toward products that let them simply scroll with their thumbs and click on links. The September 2012 Pew study revealed that 47 percent of smartphone users and 39 percent of tablet users said they got news through a social network "sometimes" or "regularly." In fact, that Pew study states, "Major news websites in the US now get, on average, 9 percent of their traffic from Facebook, more than double the 4 percent seen just 15 months ago."
They're crazy about video
Some folks might think of YouTube, which is owned by Google, as a repository for silly homemade videos and illegally posted songs, but it is increasingly a source of news. One-third of YouTube searches are for news-related terms, according to the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism (2011), and 51 percent of the most-watched videos bore a news organization's logo. According to YouTube itself, 7,000 hours of news-related video are uploaded to the site every day. And the site's overall usage numbers are extraordinary: More than 1 billion unique visitors per month watch 4 billion hours of video (the site does not release audience statistics segmented by age). What's more, the eight-year-old site is still growing: Pageviews are up 25 percent since the beginning of 2012.
As with photos, a "wow" factor is the single biggest driver of video popularity. In 2011, for example, the most-watched YouTube clip featured dramatic footage of the Japanese earthquake and resulting tsunami. Sometimes, of course, what goes viral is too good to be true: As The New York Times recently reported, a September 19 YouTube clip about a pig helping a baby goat out of a pond was actually staged as a promotion for a new Comedy Central show. (Before the fakery was exposed, the clip had been promoted by Time magazine's Twitter feed and several network news shows.)

Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Financing Now Available in Connecticut
By Zachary Hart, Manager, State Relations
C-PACE, Connecticut's statewide property assessed clean energy (PACE) financing program launched late last month. C-PACE allows commercial, institutional, and multi-family building owners to access low-rate, long-term financing for energy upgrades. The obligation is repaid through a property tax assessment that is secured by the property, not the owner's credit. The assessment stays with the property, even if it is sold to a new owner. A key provision to qualifying for C-PACE financing is that the energy project must be predicted to save more in energy costs than the owner must periodically pay back. This means that the owner will begin to obtain savings immediately after project completion. To learn more about how PACE financing works, see PACENOW's website.
Funding for C-PACE projects will be supplied by private capital providers and will be available in the municipalities listed here. Other municipalities may opt in to the C-PACE program by having their legislative body agree to assign and collect assessment for the Connecticut Clean Energy and Investment Finance Authority, who oversees C-PACE. The new program counts on energy services providers to market the new financing tool. Connecticut architects who have clients whose buildings are in need of energy upgrades or renovations but have been unable to secure financing for the projects, should bring C-PACE financing to their attention.
While 27 states and the District of Columbia have passed legislation to enable PACE financing, there are currently only a handful of operating programs. Success in Connecticut could result in a rapid increase in the number of PACE financing programs available nation-wide. If you are interested in helping your state pass PACE enabling legislation or, if you live in a state where PACE financing is legal and want to encourage your municipality to set up a PACE program, please contact the AIA State and Local Relations team at email@example.com.

There's an interesting portion of the video gaming population that plays hockey in the virtual world, but doesn't play (or watch) in real life. The games are just that good.
The always highly-anticipated NHL games from EA, in particular, are a major reason for that; this year is no different.
The press release for the latest edition of the game (available September 11th, 2012) caught my eye for a couple reasons: first off, the screen shot at the top of this post – good lord the graphics look great. But secondly because of the text below – a couple changes will make the games more realistic than ever.
True Performance Skating – A game-changing innovation for the franchise that adds physics-driven skating and over 1000 new animations. True Performance Skating authentically replicates the explosiveness, momentum and top end speed displayed by today's NHL players.
You knew the somewhat clumsy skating had to improve at some point. And also…
EA SPORTS Hockey I.Q. – In previous NHL games, players were only aware of skaters in their immediate proximity and goalies could only react to the player in control of the puck. With EA SPORTS Hockey I.Q., all players are now fully aware of every other player on the ice, resulting in quicker, smarter and more true-to-life decision-making.
Awesome. I'd love to catch a tender cheating on a 2-on-1 and go short-side.
I'm not much of a gamer, but I love the hell out of this series. Check out the videos below – I'm pumped.
(I should note that this wasn't some paid for ad. I just genuinely love these games.)

Working with iPhone files and folders
If you are building a more elaborate iPhone application than just a button which farts or some colorful ball which moves out of your finger you will inevitably want to read and write some files in the iPhone filesystem.
Most of the file operations will start by creating a file manager, though some objects as NSArray and NSDictionary provide handy functions to directly read and write files.
NSFileManager provides a load of handy methods, so it's always good to check also the XCode documentation of the class.
First of all you will need to get your file's location. Each application on the iPhone has its own Sandbox which provides you with several different folders to work with. Documents will be the place you want to save your content, read and write files, etc.
Since CocoaTouch conforms to a big extent with OS X, you need to query the filesystem for the current user's folders. On a mac for example there will be different users like Peter, John, Grandma, etc. Each of them will have separate Documents folder located at a different path. On the iPhone (for the moment) there's only one user, but you will still need to query the system for the current user's locations.
As in this example:
You can get a list of different locations, for reference have a look at the NSSearchPathDirectory definition:
Once you have the directory path, you can just put yourself together the full file path:
Here is a list of few functions you might immediately need when dealing with files:
Checks if the file at the given path can be deleted.
Checks if the file's contents at the given path can be loaded.
Checks if the app can write at the specified file path.
Checks if a file exists with the given file path.
Checks if a file exists with the given file path and you can specify it should be a normal file or a file directory.
Compares if two given files' content is the same.
Enumerating trough a directory's contents
Gives you an NSArray of all files found in the given directory path. The most simple way to read directory's contents :
This example will show you the contents of your app's resources directory (eg. the files you bundle with your app)
Reading and Writing files
You can use NSData to hold the contents of a file you want to read or write:
This way you should deal with the data format you are going to supply to NSData yourself. If your data is property list data: NSString, NSInteger, NSData, NSArray, etc. it is much easier to use the handy functions below.
Let's say you have a list of values (or a tree of values) which can be stored as an xml file. In this case you can tell directly to your NSArray or NSDictionary to save it contents to a file, or read the contents of a file and populate itself.
Managing files
Moves (or if you move to the same directory renames) a file.
Copies a file to a new location.
Deletes the file from the file system.
This wraps up the overview of working with files.

VIDEO: Delaware's wildlife better protected by new law A new law safeguards Delaware's most precious natural resources. WDEL's Amy Cherry reports. Delaware joins forces with the majority of states in the nation by becoming a member the interstate Wildlife Violator Compact (WVC). "We now have the authority to hold people accountable who contaminate our land and water, who just think they're going to leave it to the state to clean up the mess," says Gov. Markell. Using the interstate WVC, Delaware can now punish hunters who commit the most outrageous crimes against wildlife be it through poaching or illegal hunting and trapping. "For anybody, considering a crime against wildlife, not only will they risk losing their privileges in our state, but also in 39 others," says Governor Markell. The law means Delaware is no longer a safe haven for illegal hunting. Democratic State Rep. Trey Paradee, who also hunts, is a sponsor of the measure. "We're going to know that they're a violator, and we are not going to issue them a fishing or a hunting license," says Paradee. The environmental law adds no new restrictions to hunters. "If you're a law abiding hunter, and you've been doing things the right way, nothing's going to change for you," Paradee says. The law has support from both Delaware Ducks Unlimited and the Delaware Nature Society. |

Letter from the Director
Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center - Phoenix VA Health Care System Cardiology Fellowship
Dear Doctor:
Thank you for your interest in the Banner Good Samaritan-Phoenix VA Health Care System Cardiology Fellowship Program.
Banner Good Samaritan is the largest teaching hospital in the Southwest, and functions as both a community hospital for the city of Phoenix and a referral medical center for most of northern Arizona.
Our program is combined with the Phoenix VA. Rotations occur at both hospitals during each year of the program. The combination of training at both private and VA tertiary care hospitals provides a well-balanced educational program with excellent training and exposure to a wide variety of clinical problems.
The hospitals offer a full spectrum of residency programs in other medical disciplines as well as four other Fellowship Programs. The Cardiology Fellowship is designed to provide 36 months of training.
During this time specific rotations occur through the CCU, clinical rotation, echocardiography, research, ECG and treadmill, nuclear cardiology, the cardiac catheterization laboratory, including interventional techniques.
Clinical rounds as well as cardiology conferences occur daily, directed by full and part-time faculty. The cardiology clinic provides an opportunity to follow a group of patients through the entire period of training, and thus gain experiences in the long-term management of a variety of cardiac problems.
For those applying, a visit to Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center and the Phoenix VA Health Care System is required. The fellowship participates in the Medical Specialties Matching Program. All candidates will be selected from the match.

Real-world testing allows us to see how well a product will perform when used in the same manner as it would be in your house or office. It is an important side to performance testing as it can uncover hidden glitches in the way a product performs.
It is especially true when testing a mainboard; there are so many components of a board that have to interact that any problems between parts can cause a failure of the whole.
For real-world testing we use some common applications and functions. We test with LightWave 3D for rendering performance, AutoGK for transcoding from DVD to AVI and two games for gaming testing.
Rendering of 3D Animation is a system intensive endeavor. You need a good CPU, memory and HDD speed to get good rendering times. For our testing we use LightWave 3D. This software from Newtek is an industry standard and has several pre-loaded scenes for us to use.
LightWave 3D

AutoGK stands for Auto Gordian Knot; it is a suite of transcoding tools that are compiled into an easy to install and use utility. It allows you to transcode non-protected DVDs and other media to Xvid or Divx format. For our testing purposes we use a non-DRM restricted movie that is roughly 2 hours in length. This is transcoded to a single Xvid AVI at 100% quality.
Interestingly enough the P8P67 Deluxe falls to the back of the P67 boards we have tested so far when it comes to AutoGK transcoding. This could be caused by the slower SATA II performance (the SSD and DVD-ROM combined).

PA Eating: All-American Grill-Out
We're sneaking up on the next big summer holiday (hello, fireworks!), and I'll be returning to Pennsylvania once again for a swimming-and-cooking extravaganza with my family. I just realized I neglected to share the final installment of our kitchen adventures from my last visit, and you don't want to miss any of these recipes. They're delicious and easy, perfect for summery cave people. (You can find my other Pennsylvania recipe recaps here and here.)
Speaking of… here are two of my favorite grok-ians now, posing with our feast. That's my dad (a.k.a., Sky Guy) and my niece Pepper… with cucumber salad, fennel slaw with mint, cabbage and bacon sauté, and slow-grilled baby back ribs. (All recipes below.)
Here's a close-up of the ribs. I've always shied away from trying to make them myself – seemed too intimidating. But my mom's method was dead easy. If you have a grill and foil, you're in business.
The fennel slaw was a neato change of taste: light, fresh, creamy, and unfamiliar without being weird.
Down-home cucumber salad made with homemade mayo.
Shredded cabbage sautéed with bacon, salt, and pepper. Simple, hearty, super yummy.
Here's my plate, and yes, my glass of wine.
Easiest EVER Baby Back Ribs
No sauce, no fuss… just delicious, tender, meaty flavor.
rack of baby back ribs
garlic powder
whatever other spices you want to throw in there
1. Heat gas grill on high heat until very hot. approximately 10-15 minutes.
2. Sprinkle ribs generously with the seasonings, patting the spices into the meat with your hands. Make sure the ribs feel loved; this will make them tender. (You know, I generally like tons of spices on just about everything, but my dad seasoned the ribs with the three basics (salt-pepper-garlic) and they were excellent just like that. You do what you like.)
3. Place the foil-wrapped ribs on the grill and close the lid. Reduce the heat to its lowest setting, and forget about the ribs for roughly two hours. Seriously. Don't lift the lid of the grill. Don't disturb the foil packets. Just let those little piggies roast.
4. When the time is up, let the ribs rest in the foil for about 15 minutes, then unwrap and cut. Pick up with greedy fingers and gnaw.
1 fennel bulb
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 garlic clove, crushed or minced
1. Make the vinaigrette: Place the lemon juice, garlic, mustard, salt, and mint in a blender; pulse briefly to combine. With the motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until the ingredients are combined. Like homemade mayo, this is an almost emulsification – take your time drizzling in the oil and you will be rewarded with a creamier vinaigrette.
2. Prepare the fennel: Wash the bulb and fronds, then slice the fronds off the top. Chop up some of the green frilly stuff and set aside. Then slice the fennel bulb very thinly. We used a mandoline but decided that was too thin. I think somewhere between shaved and 1/4-inch slice is where you want it to be… again, this might require patience. Find your Zen slicing place.
3. Toss the slaw: Mix with the dressing with the fennel, and stir in the chopped fronds. Allow the flavors to meld for at least an hour. Serve cold or at room temperature. YUM! This holds up in the fridge well for two days so you can enjoy it at multiple meals.
'Just Eyeball It' Cucumber Salad
My mom's been making this cucumber salad FOREVER, and because of that, it tastes like summer to me. There's no real recipe – just a list of ingredients and your taste buds. Be bold! You can do it.
cucumbers, sliced thin (half moons!)
white onion, sliced thin (again with the half moons)
fresh parsley, chopped
homemade mayo
salt, pepper, garlic powder
splash of vinegar (not technically paleo, may be replaced with lemon juice)NOTE: I usually use the ratio of 3 cukes to 1/2 onion. Also, the photo above shows a lot of dressing. I make mine less saucy; you make it the way you like with the instructions below.
1. Place cucumber, onion, and parsley in a bowl.
2. Add mayo. Begin conservatively – I put in about a 1/3 cup to start. Stir gently and add more mayo gradually until the cucumber slices are lightly coated.
3. Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir and taste. Trust yourself – this is the art part. You can do it!
If it's too acidic, add a little more mayo.
If it tastes flat, add a little more salt.
Consider more parsley.
This salad doesn't hold up super great; the dressing gets too thin after about 24 hours. If I make this for dinner one night, I try to eat the remainder for lunch or dinner the next day. The beautiful thing about this recipe is that it's so easy to make a one-person serving: one cucumber, a little piece of onion, a spoonful of mayo, and you're in business.
Smokey Cabbage Sauté
This is another of my mom's creations, so no defined recipe. But easy ingredients and technique.
head of green cabbage, sliced thin-ish
one white onion, sliced into thin half moons
a few strips of bacon (pork or turkey)
coconut oil
salt, pepper, garlic powder
1. Cook the bacon: If you're using pork bacon, cook in a pre-heated pan, then drain most of the fat from the pan and use the remaining drippings to cook the onions. If you're using turkey bacon, preheat the pan, add about 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil, then fry the bacon 'til crisp. Use those drippings to sauté the onion. When the bacon is the way you like it, set it aside and move onto the onions.
2. Sauté the onions: Cook the onions in the hot pan until very soft and beginning to get nice brown spots.
3. Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces and return to the pan.
4. Add the cabbage: Put the sliced cabbage into the pan, put a lid on it (PUT A LID ON IT!), and let the cabbage steam for a few minutes… like, maybe 3-4. Remove the lid, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir-fry vigourously.
5. Check for shininess: This dish tastes best when there's a reasonable amount of fat in it. If there's not enough, the cabbage will steam, not fry. Find your personal balance between way-too-greasy and way-too-bland but checking for shininess. There should be a slight sheen on the veggies and they should be getting carmelized. If they're not a little shimmery, add another 1/2 to 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Against, trust yourself and your tastebuds.
6. Check the seasonings again: Give it a taste test to see if it needs more salt, pepper, or garlic powder. Salt content should always be checked mid-way through cooking and close to the end to get seasoning balance right.
Cook. Eat. Love.
I'm excited to once again join the punk rock foodies on Fight Back Friday at Food Renegade.

Those baby backs look delish! As does everything else, of course. I can actually make these ribs for W because they're nightshade-free! I smell some grilling in my future…
Awesome! Be sure to let me know if you try them!
Holy Yumness! I've been trying to get more veggies in and you know this is the place I come for recipes.
That fennel salad looks amazing. Yay for cool summer vegetable options!
Hi, Melissa! Now is such a great time for veggies. The cabbage is SO yummy.
Lydia, try the fennel salad and lemme know what you think. I liked it, but I wanted a touch my zing. Maybe I should've added more salt or something. Anyway… send thoughts if you've got 'em.
The cabbage saute looks SO tasty! I have a weakness for all things bacon…
I'm going to see if there's fennel at the Farmer's Market on Saturday. If there is, I'll report back!
Wow, these all look AMAZING – I look forward to trying each of these!
Quick question – how many days do you think homemade mayo would last in the fridge?
Homemade mayo will last 1-2 weeks after the expiration date on the egg you used to make it. I either write on the container with a Sharpie or put a note on my calendar when it's time to toss it. You'll be able to tell from the smell and a tiny taste if it's still good.
sounds delicious
This looks awesome. Do you have any directions to cook the ribs in the oven….we only have a charcoal grill and I don't think I can keep the grill hot that long. Hope you have had a lovely weekend!
Hey, Diana! I think you can totally do the ribs in the oven. I'm making this up, but I think it will work. Brown the rack of ribs on your charcoal grill, then wrap in foil and roast in a 325F oven for 2-3 hours. If you try it, write back and let me know how they come out. I've used this grill-oven technique for pork shoulder, and it works great, so I'm pretty confident it will work for the ribs.

I agree that the fennel slaw could use some zing. It looked oily so I added chopped celery to bulk it up.

I made the cucumber salad using fresh dill rather than parsley. LOVED.

The Steelers have yet to decide if Hines Ward's time with the team has expired, but if they do opt to move on, they'll have a built-in excuse.
Okay, they aren't likely to use Ward's reckless driving plea as a reason for his departure, but it's now on the table.
Ward pleaded guilty Wednesday to a reckless driving charge, while copping no contest to a charge of failing to maintain a lane.
The good news is that Ward avoids a potential DUI and puts the saga to bed. The bad news is that he was sentenced to 12 months probation, 80 hours of community service and a $2,000 fine. Ward makes $5 million per year, so to put that in real-world terms, that would be like a man who makes $50,000 a year being fined 20 bucks.
Still, Ward's DUI arrest in July was baffling, and will forever serve as a black mark on his otherwise sparkling off-field reputation.

Remember that it will take time to adjust to the feel of your new bite. When the bite is altered or the position of the teeth is changed it takes several days for the brain to recognize the new position of your teeth or their thickness.
If you continue to detect any high spots or problems with your bite, call our office so we can schedule an adjustment appointment.
It is normal to experience some hot and cold sensitivity. The teeth require some time to heal after removal of tooth structure and will be sensitive in the interim. Your gums may also be sore for a few days. Warm salt water rinses (one teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water) three times a day will reduce pain and swelling. A mild pain medication (acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin) every 4 to 6 hours) should ease any residual discomfort.
Daily brushing and flossing are a must for your new dental work. Daily plaque removal is critical for the long-term success of your new teeth, as are regular hygiene appointments.
Any food that can crack, chip, or damage a natural tooth can do the same to your new teeth. Avoid hard foods and substances (such as beer nuts, peanut brittle, ice, fingernails, pencils, and/or sticky candies. Smoking will stain your new teeth. Minimize or avoid foods that stain such as coffee, red wine, tea, and berries.
If you engage in sports, let us know so we can make a custom mouthguard. If you grind or clench your teeth at night, you should wear a nightguard appliance. Adjusting to the look and feel of your new smile will take time. If you have any problems or concerns, please let us know. We always welcome your questions.
Crowns and bridges usually take two appointments to complete. In the first visit, the teeth are prepared and molds of the mouth are taken. Temporary crowns or bridges are placed to protect the teeth while the custom restoration is being made. Since the teeth will be anesthetized, the tongue, lips, and roof of the mouth may be numb. Please refrain from eating and drinking hot beverages until the numbness has completely worn off.
Occasionally a temporary crown may come off. Call us if this happens and bring the temporary crown with you so we can re-cement it. It is very important for the temporary to stay in place, as it will prevent other teeth from moving and compromising the fit of your final restoration.
To keep your temporary in place, avoid eating sticky foods, gum, hard foods, and if possible, chew on the opposite side of your mouth. It is important to brush normally, but floss carefully and dont pull up on the floss which may dislodge the temporary, simply pull the floss out from the side of the temporary crown.
It is normal to experience some temperature and pressure sensitivity after each appointment. The sensitivity should subside a few weeks after the placement of the final restoration. Mild pain medications may also be used as directed by our office.
If your bite feels uneven, if you have persistent pain, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please call our office at 943-4644.
Dental Extraction Post-Op Instructions for Immediately Following Surgery
A certain amount of bleeding is to be expected following surgery. Slight bleeding, oozing, or redness in the saliva is not uncommon. Excessive bleeding may be controlled by placing the gauze over the area and biting firmly. Change the gauze every 15-45 minutes as it becomes saturated with blood and saliva. Be sure to place clean, damp gauze over the extraction site. Dry gauze will pull out the blood clot and cause the bleeding to continue. If bleeding continues after these measures, bite on a moistened tea bag for thirty minutes. The tannic acid in the tea bag helps to form a clot by contracting bleeding vessels. To minimize further bleeding, do not become excited, sit upright, and avoid exercise. If bleeding does not subside, call for further instructions.
The swelling that is normally expected is usually proportional to the surgery involved. Swelling around the mouth, cheeks, eyes and sides of the face is not uncommon. This is the bodys normal reaction to surgery and eventual repair. The swelling will not become apparent until the day following surgery and will not reach its maximum until 2-3 days post-operatively. However, the swelling may be minimized by the immediate use of ice packs. Two baggies filled with ice, or ice packs should be applied to the sides of the face where surgery was performed. The ice packs should be left on for twenty minutes and then off for ten continuously. After 24 hours, ice has no beneficial effect. If swelling or jaw stiffness has persisted for several days, there is no cause for alarm. This is a normal reaction to surgery. Thirty-six hours following surgery, the application of moist heat to the sides of the face is beneficial in reducing the size of the swelling.
For moderate pain, two to four 200mg tablets of ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) may be taken every 4-6 hours. For severe pain, take the tablets prescribed as directed. The prescribed pain medicine may make you groggy and will slow down your reflexes. Do not drive an automobile or work around machinery. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Pain or discomfort following surgery should subside more and more every day. If pain persists, it may require attention and you should call the office.
After the procedure, liquids should be initially taken. Do not use straws. Do not spit. Drink from a glass. The sucking motion and spitting can cause more bleeding by dislodging the blood clot. You may eat anything soft by chewing away from the surgical sites. High calorie, high protein intake is very important. Nourishment should be taken regularly. You should prevent dehydration by taking fluids regularly. Your food intake will be limited for the first few days. You should compensate for this by increasing your fluid intake. At least 5-6 glasses of liquid should be taken daily. Try not to miss a single meal. You will feel better, have more strength, less discomfort and heal faster if you continue to eat. Caution: If you suddenly sit up or stand from a lying position you may become dizzy. If you are lying down following surgery, make sure you sit for one minute before standing.
No rinsing of any kind should be performed until the day following surgery. The day after surgery you can brush your teeth, being careful not to brush near the surgical site. You should also begin rinsing at least 5-6 times a day, especially after eating, with a cup of warm water mixed with a teaspoon of salt or Peridex rinse as directed.
In some cases, discoloration of the skin follows swelling. The development of black, blue, green, or yellow discoloration is due to blood spreading beneath the tissues. This is a normal post-operative occurrence, which may occur 2-3 days post-operatively. Moist heat applied to the area may speed up the removal of the discoloration.
If you have been placed on antibiotics, take the tablets or liquid as directed. Antibiotics may be given to help prevent infection. Discontinue antibiotic use in the event of a rash or other unfavorable reaction. Call the office if you have any questions.
Sutures are placed to minimize post-operative bleeding and to help healing. Sometimes they become dislodged, this is no cause for alarm. Just remove the suture from your mouth and discard it. The sutures will dissolve on their own in approximately 5-7 days. If the sutures are still in place by your one week post-operative appointment, the doctor will remove them.
The pain and swelling should peak on the third day and subside more and more each day. If your post-operative pain or swelling worsens or unusual symptoms occur call the office for instructions.
There will be an extraction socket where the tooth was removed. This will gradually fill in with the new tissue over the next month. In the mean time, the area should be kept clean especially after meals with salt-water rinses or a toothbrush.
If a bone graft was placed, do not be concerned if you notice some bone graft material coming out of the site. This is a common occurrence and will not have an adverse outcome in your healing. If a large amount comes out at once, please contact the office.
Brushing your teeth is okay after 24 hours. Avoid the surgical site for the first couple of days.
A dry socket is when the blood clot gets dislodged prematurely from the tooth socket. Symptoms of pain at the surgical site and even pain to the ear may occur 2-3 days following surgery. Call the office if this occurs.
If you are involved in regular exercise, be aware that your normal nourishment intake is reduced. Exercise is not recommended the day of the surgery because it will increase bleeding and swelling.
Smoking should be avoided for at least 72 hours following the surgery.
When an anesthetic has been used, your lips and tongue may be numb for several hours after the appointment. Avoid any chewing and hot beverages until the numbness has completely worn off. It is very easy to bite or burn your tongue or lips while you are numb.
It is normal to experience some hot, cold, and pressure sensitivity after your appointment. Injection sites may also be sore. Ibuprofen (Motrin), acetaminophen (Tylenol) or aspirin (Bayer) work well to alleviate the tenderness. Contact our office for recommended dose and scheduling. If pressure sensitivity persists beyond a few days or if the sensitivity to hot or cold increases, contact our office.
You may chew with your composite fillings as soon as the anesthetic completely wears off. Composite fillings are fully set when you leave the office.
If your bite feels uneven, if you have persistent pain, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please call our office at 943-4644.

Just like a fine bottle of Alize, white trash treasure Roseanne gets better with time.
Wearing all black and stacked in an easy access tunic top that was just waiting to be raised by a summer breeze to expose her bare backside (until she decided to wear pants) and a pair of leopard print gloves, Roseanne's red carpet fashion statement was an understated tribute to Todd Smith. "Back seat of my jeep, let's swing an episode."
I advise you to watch your man while in her presence.

Cancer Program Receives Reaccreditation by the Commission on Cancer
January 27, 2012
Spring Hill, FL – Oak Hill Hospital announces that it has once again received its certificate of accreditation by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons (ACoS). Oak Hill Hospital has again received a three year approval award with commendation to its cancer program. Oak Hill Hospital's cancer program has been fully accredited since 1991.
A facility receives a three year approval with commendation following the on-site evaluation by a physician surveyor during which the facility demonstrates a "commendation level of compliance" with one or more standards that represent the full scope of the cancer program. In addition, a facility receives a compliance rating for all of the standards.
Oak Hill Hospital received accreditation with five commendations. It is the only hospital in the area to receive accreditation with five or more commendations. Oak Hill Hospital's commendations were in the following areas:
- Outcomes analysis (an annual report with an outcome study was published each year)
- Abstracting timeframe (100% of abstracts reviewed by the surveyor were completed within six months)
- Prevention and early detection (multiple prevention and early detection programs are offered to the community each year)
- Cancer education for cancer registry staff (staff participated in educational activities each year and attended a national activity during the survey cycle)
- Cancer related quality improvements (several quality improvements were implemented each year by the Cancer Committee
The Commission on Cancer was established by the American College of Surgeons and is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to improving survival rates and quality of life for cancer patients through standard-setting, prevention, research, education, and the monitoring of comprehensive, quality care. Its membership includes Fellows of the American College of Surgeons, and 40 national organizations that reflect the full spectrum of cancer care.
Approval may be one of the best values in healthcare. The institutions involved in the Approvals Program represent a broad base network of comprehensive cancer care programs and offer the entire spectrum of cancer controlled activities, from prevention to rehabilitation and long term follow up. It is estimated that approved programs annually diagnose and treat 80% of all new cancer cases. This statistic emphasizes the level of commitment to resources that commission approval programs have made to the care of patients with cancer.
Approval by the Commission on Cancer is given only to those facilities that are voluntarily committed to providing the highest level of quality cancer care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance. To maintain approval, facilities with Commission on Cancer approval cancer programs must undergo an on-site review every three years.
For more information about the Commission on Cancer visit their website atwww.FACS.org/cancer/index.html.

For well over one hundred years sports have reflected the trials and triumphs of the American experience and helped shape our national character. Our love of sports begins in our hometowns--on the sandlot, at the local ball field, in the street, even. We play pick-up games and organized league games. And if we're not playing, we're watching: in the stands, on the fields with our sons and daughters, or in our living rooms with friends. On any given weekend, sports are a big part of what we do.

The Silver Spur Award committee has chosen both Jacquie and Harold Petersen as the 2009 award recipients. Although 2009 is still months away, the Silver Spur Award for Community Service committee has already chosen its honorees for the upcoming year. Husband and wife duo, Jacquie and Harold Petersen, have accepted the honor and are set to receive their award next year.
The Silver Spur Celebration, which honors local resident volunteers, was originally the work of LaVerne Rosa Harris, a member of the COC Foundation Board of Directors who became the 1996 Silver Spur honoree. The very first gala was held at the Gene Autry Museum in 1989, with Cliffie Stone as the recipient. The Foundation Board of Directors at the time wanted to create a signature event for the COC Foundation and also to reflect the western heritage of the Santa Clarita Valley.
Since then, the event still remains one of the most popular elegant evenings for the community and is traditionally held at a historic museum, club or Los Angeles landmark.
Other previous recipients of the award include Aggie Agajanian, Scott and Ruth Newhall, Tom Dierkman, John Hoskinson, Robert Ormsby, Dick Luechtefeld, Roberta Veloz, Michael Berger, Lou Garasi, Tom Lee, Jay and Joyce Rodgers, Gary Cusumano, Charlotte and Frank Kleeman and Tom Veloz.

Hi everyone! I am so glad I found this post. I am making my first 3-tier cake in May. The "stress free" system looks very cool. Will this also work with buttercream-covered cakes? The cake safe looks beyond awesome, but I don't make that many cakes so I can't see getting one just yet -- maybe with my Christmas money, ha ha!

One's a starving, militant rebel living in a post-apocalyptic world. The other is a fashion-forward teen thriving on a bright Orlando soundstage. What do they have in common? One clearly versatile writer: Suzanne Collins.
Ever since reading The Hunger Games, I've been intrigued by the fact that the same woman who wrote such a gritty, violent series also wrote for the fizzy, neon-colored sitcom Clarissa Explains It All (and also for The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo, which I think is sort of underrated). Collins didn't create Clarissa, but I'm sure she lived and breathed Clarissa while she worked for the show, just as she lived and breathed Katniss while writing the novels. We'll learn about Collins' journey from Clarissa to Katniss in the upcoming comic book about the author's life, but for now, it's fascinating to see ways in which the 90's Nickelodeon heroine could have inspired the very different teen who made Collins famous. Okay, all of this is a huge stretch, and it's easier to think of ways they almost-might-be similar but are completely different, but here goes: READ FULL STORY

Salvator Rosa Italian, about 1663 Black and white chalk 11 13/16 x 8 13/16 in. 83.GB.197
At the beginning of Aeneas's journey, the epic tale told by Virgil in the Aeneid, the god Tiber comes to Aeneas in a dream to tell him of his destiny. Aeneas lies sleeping, still wearing his armor and resting his head on his shield. Compared to other known chalk works by Salvator Rosa, this drawing is unsually large and complete. Not only have the figures been carefully built up with black and white chalk, but the background is filled with wild lines that emphasize the drama of the scene. Scholars have identified this drawing as a finished study for Rosa's etching of the same subject made about 1663.

Brian Burke's Plan Still Intact
May 7, 2012
When Brian Burke officially came to Toronto he told everyone exactly how he wanted the Toronto Maple Leafs to play hockey. He wants his team to be tough, physical, entertaining and to fit into a top six/bottom six scheme. Fans of the Leafs were giddy after his opening press conference. This team would no longer be soft. This team would no longer be pushed around. Fast forward three and a half years later and they are arguably softer. So what's happened? This vision Brian Burke had for this team has not come to fruition at all. Did he abandon the plan? Did...
Managing Heated Summer Expectations
May 1, 2012
Brian Burke is mad. Make no mistake about it, he's mad about missing the playoffs. Despite what is written/said down below, Brian Burke is mad, not elated: "It's hard to see a positive when you have the finish we had,†said Burke. "There are some positives, some building blocks. The pieces you need, the Phil Kessels, the Jake Gardiners, the Dion Phaneufs, the second line. All those things have been put in place. That's what can't be overlooked as you dissect the season. Even a season that's marked by failure, I think we're going in the right direction. It's very...
Would Roberto Luongo want to join the Leafs?
Apr 25, 2012
Amid all the speculation surrounding Roberto Luongo that's starting to snowball, and will continue to do so in the coming weeks, it seems as though one of the most overlooked parts of it all is the fact that he will have to waive his no-trade clause to where he wants to go. Luongo stirred up the hockey world quite a bit yesterday by announcing that he would indeed allow the Canucks to trade him if that's what their plan is. But he's under no pressure to take a less-than-good situation at this point, and to think he'll just go anywhere...
Finding the Forest in the Trees
Apr 12, 2012
Squeak into the playoffs this year or keep building towards a cup?  I'll take build towards a cup, please and thank you. And they're closer than you think. Rick Dudley is widely considered one of the best judges of talent in hockey. He's certainly able to provide a balanced view after building championship teams twice this decade, with two different clubs (Tampa Bay, 2004 – Chicago, 2009). Here's his take on the Leafs, after less than one year on the job. : http://pmd.fan590.com/audio_on_demand-2/Rick-Dudley-jb-20120323-Interview.mp3 Note at 4:47, when Jeff Blair snickers at Rick Dudley saying "I am sure they will succeed here and I think there are...
Keys To A Healthy Offseason
Apr 10, 2012
Let's face it. We've all knew it at the beginning of the season. The best bet for the Leafs was on us being a bubble team. That doesn't exactly say – confidence. We knew coming in that we probably needed some things to click for us to make the show and when those things didn't click Leafs Nation got mad. But, let's run through that last sentence again. Things needed to click for us to make the postseason. That doesn't mean things WILL click and we WILL make the postseason. Fact is, we weren't a good enough hockey club to...
What's the Captain's role in all of this?
Mar 31, 2012
It was as predictable as it was painful to read. Smelling blood in the water as the fan base angrily seeks answers for what's been an inexplicable and catastrophic collapse, The Toronto Star's Dave Feschuk turned from calling player's moms to dialing up anonymous ex Maple Leafs to perform a hatchet job on Leaf captain Dion Phaneuf. Feschuk takes so many liberties with his latest work, walking an ethical tight rope as a professional journalist, it's not worth linking to, much less poring over in line-by-line detail. At one point he seems to base a hint of a rift between...
We Really Need Proof
Mar 28, 2012
Now that we pretty much agreed that tanking is the way to go (had to drag this writer in chains and he's still not at peace with it), let's try to examine how much Leafs Nation really needs that high end first round pick/player. When you take tanking out of the equation (and if you're like me, you have to, because it's not like you're going to stop watching this team) you realize that watching the current day Edmonton Oilers really seems more fun than watching the current day Maple Leafs. The amount of sheer young talent and hope for...
Plenty of blame to go around for Maple Leafs
Mar 28, 2012
While Brian Burke deserves much of the blame for the recent woes of the Toronto Maple Leafs, it's also fair to point out that he didn't exactly inherit a powerhouse. The Leafs roster was in terrible shape when the big Irishman accepted the unsavory role of Maple Leafs president and general manager. Unfair expectations were placed on this current regime and miracles were expected overnight as he was quickly dubbed the 'saviour of the franchise'. Unfortunately, in the new cap-era NHL, a quick fix is nearly impossible and instead patience, money management and shrewd decision making is even more imperative. Is...
How good is Phil Kessel?
Mar 21, 2012
Ever hear someone say that in hockey, the best way to really see the separation between good and great is to see the game live, in the flesh? Well it's true. I can tell who the best players are just from watching at home on television, but when you take in a hockey game at the arena, the most skilled players will stand out more than ever. I've been to a live Leafs game this season - it was the Leafs and Penguins in October, the game where Kessel saved the day in the third and made Brent Johnson look...
Now I'm a Fool
Mar 16, 2012
It's that rock-bottom point in the season when you officially quit, give up. The playoff talk is ramping up and now I'm looking at the rest of the league for big matchups every evening to see how things will play out before April 7th. We're all stuck staring at the standings and making predictions about who we think will face each other in the first round and which clubs will battle it out for the Cup. As much fun as that is, things were a lot more pleasant a few months ago. And now, for the boys in blue,...
Was Ron Wilson the wrong coach at the wrong time?
Mar 9, 2012
At some point in our schooling, we've almost all had a teacher or professor who, as wise and experienced in the subject he or she may be, has unreasonably high expectations of the students. The type of teacher who operates on the assumption there's a level of understanding that simply isn't there. I won't pretend as though I know what was happening in the dressing room on a day-to-day, game-by-game basis, but if I can read between the lines, that was Ron Wilson. In terms of the system he had his group playing, he was the hockey equivalent of a...
Leafs had no choice but to re-sign Grabovski
Mar 7, 2012
How many different ways can you skin a cat? Rather, how many different ways can you look at the Mikhail Grabovski extension? "How is he making more money than Phil Kessel?" (At the time Phil Kessel signed his deal he was an RFA, not a UFA, and he was making a higher percentage of the salary cap than Grabovski currently is). "Blame the Oilers and Hurricanes for the money they gave Hemsky and Ruutu." "He would have got more on the open market." "Grabovski's never even recorded 60 points." "In five years will he be worth $5.5 million?" "How is he making more money than Ryan Kesler!?!?" On...
Brian Burke confused me on March 3rd
Mar 4, 2012
The Legion of Blog posts a weekly piece attempting to decipher what Don Cherry says on Saturday night's Coach's Corner segment. We're all aware that Grapes can say some pretty outlandish things from time to time, and whether you agree or disagree with him, the way it's all presented will often leave you saying "Don lost it on (fill in name, city, something)" immediately afterward. I don't believe everything Cherry says is garbage. I've always thought his stance on getting rid of the military armor that players wear as hockey gear these days is right on. But there's usually a...
Three years on, evaluating player evaluation under Burke
Feb 28, 2012
Asset management was really the theme of the deadline for the Maple Leafs. At the end of the day it appeared Brian Burke and company tried their best to bring in immediate help for this team and add to the roster, but the prices were just too high to justify. No offense to Paul Gaustad, but when he actually netted a first round pick that more or less summed it up. Had the Leafs stood in say, fifth place, yesterday, I suspect they would have been a little more open to flipping a younger player for more veteran help, but this...
Mailbag: 7 Questions, 7 Answers
Feb 23, 2012
As always, thank you for the questions, I really enjoy these. I wanted to quickly clarify a quick comment from Wendelsway (if you don't know what I'm talking about and/or don't want to read, just scroll down to the questions) RE: the goalie situation. At the end of the day, Gustavsson views himself as a starting goalie, not a backup. I don't know what Gustavsson is thinking - he played well enough to run with the starting roll at one point - but the Leafs still didn't afford him that opportunity to really run with it. So in his...
Should The Leafs Be Sellers?
Feb 12, 2012
Editor's Note: Matt drafted this piece before last night's atrocity. With a regulation Rangers win over the Capitals this afternoon, the Toronto Maple Leafs currently sit in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Despite the demoralizing no show from the Leafs last night, if the season ended today, they would do something the team hasn't done in many, many years – make the playoffs. With the trade deadline quickly approaching (February 27, 2012), the speculation as always is running rampant that the Leafs are poised to make a trade to improve the team's current roster. While making the playoffs...
The future of Luke Schenn
Feb 4, 2012
There's been a consistent theme during Ron Wilson's tenure when it comes to player development: offensive players tend to prosper in his system and under his guidance. This applies both up front and on the blue line. Clarke MacArthur, Mikhail Grabovski, Joffrey Lupul; two unknowns and a cap write off who came to Toronto and almost instantly (not so much in Grabo's case, but certainly the other two) began producing like able top six forwards. Jake Gardiner, Cody Franson, Dion Phaneuf, John Michael Liles; four blueliners with an offensive capacity to their game who have become core pieces on the back...
Concussions: The Bare Essentials
Jan 19, 2012
Here's a crazy statistic courtesy of CBC Sports. From the beginning of the season through only December 24th (the Maple Leafs had played their 35th game of the season the night before), 457 man-games had been lost to concussions; players had been suspended 77 games, forfeiting nearly $1.3 million in wages. But what does it mean to have a concussion? How do we get them? Here's your guide to a basic understanding. What Are They In medicine, a concussion is defined as a "trauma-induced alteration in mental status that may or may not involve loss of consciousness". Translation: It's force to the brain...
10 Questions, 10 Answers
Jan 12, 2012
I wasn't sure what questions I would receive, but you guys stepped up to the plate here big time. I got a lot of quality, thought-provoking questions with far from "gimme" answers. There were a lot of similar questions (i.e., What do you think of the goalies, should we trade a goalie, etc) so in that case I picked one of the actual questions and fit in numerous answers in my reply. So if you don't see your specific question but you do see your topic, I probably tried to say something about your question too. Please don't take...
On Burke and his Sheriff
Jan 5, 2012
The decision to call a press conference upon Colton Orr's waiver clearance was curious to many, but it became clear once Brian Burke started speaking: the move left the Leaf GM with a bone to pick. Between his admiration for Orr's character and the game's direction such a roster move symbolized, it was obvious Burke really didn't like having to do this. You got the sense it was an admission from Burke that his vision of building a truculent winner is a thing of the past. Orr, his first signing as GM of the Maple Leafs - the...

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. When a fellow computer whiz known as Sanford is killed under suspicious circumstances, Kidd, artists, computer hacker, and professional criminal finds himself in the crosshairs of a government investigation targeting a group of hackers calling themselves Firewall. Something's rotten in the state of Texas, and with the NSA, the FBI, and a pair of corporate assassins on their tails, Kidd and LuEllen are a short step ahead and a long way out on a limb. A bit rough around the edges, but I didn't want to stop turning pages. good read this was a nice change. i have read quite a few code books, books about all the intricacies of the computer world and the terrorism that goes with it. for one the fact that again, i was drowned in middle eastern conflict (it seems lately that a book can't be written unless it is about that; which is sad, talk about not using any imagination) this one did touch on it but it was more about other things. again i quite liked it and would recommend it. Another great thriller about Kidd, the 40-something hacker and painter, his best friend Luellen the thief, and a circle of shadowy hackers trying to protect themselves. A group calling itself Firewall has appeared and is causing the U.S. government to go after hackers to try to stop a computer attack. At the same time, a murder leads Kidd and Luellen to try to figure out who has named Kidd as a member of Firewall. Sandford's writing is fun and, although now quite dated technologically, moves quickly along. I continue to be surprised that these books haven't been turned in to movies, because there are great characters and engaging plots in each of his books. This is a unique book for me, as it lists as a suspense novel. This is a story about a hacker named Kidd who gets involved investigating the murder of a friend by request of his friend's sister. This gets wrapped into a federal investigation of a hacking group known as Firewall. The story bounces between several states, deals with details of being a thief, a hacker, and an amateur detective that is covering their own arse. I didn't realize this to be the third book in the series, but the writer did allow for the first time reader with adequate details. I liked the way that the story laid out and it moved with a decent pace. Some points dragged as they gave extraneous details that may or may not have been necessary for the movement of the book. AS a story, it was decent enough, though I'm not sure if I would read the entire series. As for the audio style of the book, I didn't care for this reader. He didn't change the voice inflection enough for a woman vs a man when reading dialog. His voice sounded scratchy, which may fit the character but I didn't care for it as I listened. no reviews | add a review Is contained inIs abridged in
