As part of our Best Books of 2014 coverage, our editors weigh in on some of their personal favorites from the list.
Australian author Liane Moriarty proves that the success of her fifth novel, The Husband's Secret, was no fluke. Not since Where'd You Go, Bernadette has the competitive nature of parents of school-aged children been so deftly skewered—and Moriarty is also adept at creating emotional moments that have real impact. Thanks to Moriarty's genuine writerly chops, this juicy page-turner is a pleasure that's anything but guilty.

We Are Pirates by Daniel Handler
Bloomsbury • $27 • ISBN 9781608196883
On sale February 3, 2015
order from: BAM | B & N | Indiebound | Amazon
Daniel Handler—perhaps better known as Lemony Snicket—is the sort of writer whose work you can't fail to recognize. There's always a playful, imaginative turn of phrase just around the corner. Something that's just not quite right. As shown below, in a passage where beleaugered father Phil Needle has had enough of the angst of his teen daughter, a pirate in the making who has recently been caught shoplifting.
Phil Needle looked down at the front section of the newspaper, which at the time this story takes place showed a photograph of a senator who was resigning his position in order to spend more time with his family. Phil Needle also wanted to spend more time with the senator's family. Look at them! Such beaming daughters! Not like Gwen, who was giving her mother a look of such violent nonchalance—I don't give a fuck—that she might as well have said it out loud.
"Talk to her," Marina said to him. "I'll finish your suitcase." Her robe ruffled with every step out of the kitchen. Gwen glared at everywhere. Phil Needle wished he could give her a tiny package with whatever it was inside, whatever her scowling little soul desired, but he couldn't. He couldn't, and since he couldn't, would she just goddamn stop?

The People in the Trees was one of the most celebrated and imaginative debuts of 2013. Now author (and former editor) Hanya Yanagihara has put her creative talents to work in a twist on the small-town friends trying to make it in NYC story: A Little Life, which will be published by Knopf on March 10. The publisher says, "Yanagihara has fashioned a tragic and transcendent hymn to brotherly love, a masterful depiction of heartbreak, and a dark examination of the tyranny of memory and the limits of human endurance."
Were you a People in the Trees fan? Will you read this one?
Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison (Beloved, Home, A Mercy) will publish her 11th novel, God Help the Child, in late April 2015 with Knopf. The novel focuses on the painful relationship between Sweetness and her daughter, Bride. Sweetness, a light-skinned black woman, pushes her daughter away because of her deep black skin. Yet, despite Sweetness' refusal to accept her, the resilient, confident Bride thrives.
No doubt, Morrison will stay true to the themes of femininity and race that she has so beautifully and masterfully handled in past novels. Are you looking forward to the latest from this literary giant?
Taisy Cleary and her twin brother, Marcus, haven't seen much of their father since he left the family when they were toddlers. Now, Wilson Cleary wants Taisy back in his life: He's writing a memoir, and needs her help. Taisy's reluctant visit also means meeting her teenaged half-sister for the first time.
That's the setup for Marisa de los Santos' new novel, The Precious One, coming from Morrow on March 24. De los Santos is an insightful writer when it comes to releationships, and the estranged father/stepsister one should provide plenty of drama. Willl you look for it in March?
"The question that will burn in a reader's mind when she finishes Some Luck, Jane Smiley's marvelous new novel, is: How long do I have to wait to read the second volume in The Last Hundred Years trilogy?" So began our October interview with Smiley. Well, now we have the answer: Knopf plans to publish Early Warning on May 5, 2015.
No details about the book have been released, but it seems a safe assumption that it will cover the next 33 years of the lives of the Langdon family, bringing them from 1953 up through 1986.
Definitely looking forward to this one—how about you?
Well, 2015 just became a much bigger year for fiction: Jonathan Franzen will be publishing a new novel, Purity, in September.
Like The Corrections, Purity is a multigenerational family story. Unlike The Corrections, it has a "kind of fabulist quality," according to FSG president and publisher Jonathan Galassi. Main character Purity Tyler—also known as Pip—is on a quest to find her father that takes her from the contemporary US to South America to East Germany.
Critics were occasionally harsh when it came to Franzen's portrayal of Patty, the female lead in Freedom, so it will be interesting to see what he does with a novel with a single female main character (although it appears Pip's relationship with a "hacker and whistleblower" also plays a major role in the story).
RELATED IN BOOKPAGE: Our interviews with Franzen about The Corrections and Freedom.
It's the rare writer who can consistently release quality work over a 50-year span—but with the February 2015 publication of A Spool of Thread, Anne Tyler joins those ranks. The 73-year-old Baltimore author's first novel, If Morning Ever Comes, appeared in 1964.
A Spool of Blue Thread focuses on the Whitshank family, led by Abby and Red, a long-married couple whose story of the day they fell in love has become legendary. But now their four children are wondering whether—and how—Abby and Red can continue to live alone in the home that Red's father built as they enter their 80s.
Tyler hasn't lost her knowing eye—she explores the inner workings of this family with sensitivity and wit, providing a tender portrayal of what it means to age and the dynamics among children and the distinct relationships they each have with their parents.
Any Anne Tyler fans out there looking forward to this one?

Fish Tails by Sheri S. Tepper
Harper Voyager • $32 • ISBN 9780062304582
Published October 21, 2014
order from: BAM | B & N | Indiebound | Amazon
In her 35th novel, best-selling science fiction and fantasy author Tepper brings back two of her favorite characters for another adventure. Abasio the Dyer (first seen in A Plague of Angels) and his wife, Xulai, are on a trip with a mission: to warn the residents of Tingawa of a literal sea change heading their way. The waters are rising, and people must adapt to a sea-dwelling lifestyle. Not exactly the most welcome of messages, as they discover . . .
Though they had been on this journey for almost a year now, their reception from place to place had been so varied that they had been unable to settle on a routine. Words and phrases that were acceptable in one village turned out to be fighting words in the next place, even though they tried to avoid any fighting at all. If hostility seemed imminent, they had the means to leave, and they did leave: horses, wagon, and all. Essentially they had three duties: first to explain that the world was being drowned; second to let people know about the sea-children. Third: to survive!

must be more lies by that damned liberal media... US generals ŌĆświll quitŌĆÖ if Bush orders Iran attack Michael Smith and Sarah Baxter, Washington SOME of AmericaŌĆÖs most senior military commanders are prepared to resign if the White House orders a military strike against Iran, according to highly placed defence and intelligence sources. Tension in the Gulf region has raised fears that an attack on Iran is becoming increasingly likely before President George Bush leaves office. The Sunday Times has learnt that up to five generals and admirals are willing to resign rather than approve what they consider would be a reckless attack. ŌĆ£There are four or five generals and admirals we know of who would resign if Bush ordered an attack on Iran,ŌĆØ a source with close ties to British intelligence said. ŌĆ£There is simply no stomach for it in the Pentagon, and a lot of people question whether such an attack would be effective or even possible.ŌĆØ A British defence source confirmed that there were deep misgivings inside the Pentagon about a military strike. ŌĆ£All the generals are perfectly clear that they donŌĆÖt have the military capacity to take Iran on in any meaningful fashion. Nobody wants to do it and it would be a matter of conscience for them. ŌĆ£There are enough people who feel this would be an error of judgment too far for there to be resignations.ŌĆØ A generalsŌĆÖ revolt on such a scale would be unprecedented. ŌĆ£American generals usually stay and fight until they get fired,ŌĆØ said a Pentagon source. Robert Gates, the defence secretary, has repeatedly warned against striking Iran and is believed to represent the view of his senior commanders.
Oh this was " From The Sunday Times". Well that make it gospel then. If there is a more Liberal rag on the planet I would like to see it.
I've seen this on a couple of sites, this seems strange.. most of the folks who become generals are pretty much entrenched into the current philosophy and political beliefs.. if there were names and quotes it would seem more credible, but right now looks like an internet rumour.
but what general is going to wanna put his neck on the line like that by going on record BEFORE the sh!t hits the fan?... of course it's anonymous for now... this is quite a wild assertion by a daily news publication if it's mere "internet rumor"
Eh? It's owned by Murdoch and has a number of conservative columnists. I actually quite like the Times as it does have both points of view. That said, it does lean to the right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sunday_Times_(UK) The Guardian and Independent are liberal but no one other than Genghis Khan would describe the Times or Sunday Times as liberal. Have you ever read the columns of Gerard Baker (who really rates Bush highly), Patience Wheatcroft (economically conservative), Michael Gove (prospective Conservative party candidate) , Matthew Parris (ex- Conservative MP) or the editorials?
I imagine General Patton having the the balls to drag Bush out to the White House lawn for a public flogging.
You really don't have the first clue how the military or the chain of command works, do you..? Hell, if you were around in the 40's, you would have been one of the first pansy-ass liberals in line trying to hang Patton when he slapped that kid.
[SIZE=-1]ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm a soldier. I fight where IŌĆÖm told and I win where I fight.ŌĆØ -- George S. Patton[/SIZE]
A lot of people relate GEN Patton to George C. Scott because of the movie and their striking resemblance. What will shatter your image of him though is that in real life GEN Patton had a high pitched voice that was almost the opposite end of the spectrum from George C. Scott. It's entertaining to hear the actual General.
We're not attacking Iran. When will you people listen. Ain't happening. Certainly not from us. Israel on the other hand....
Actually, if we can speak figuratively, it has happened many many times throughout history. It just doesn't happen in these United States of America.

Bill has started churning up the ocean and a high rip current risk has beach goers and ocean rescue officials taking extra precautions.
Beachgoers were already feeling the power of the waves Thursday afternoon.
"It was just really strong, even the waves that were down by my ankles, were moving me, the big ones were almost knocking me over," said Amy Minot of Ohio.
Simon Sanders of Carolina Beach Ocean Rescue is well aware of the dangers with Bill headed closer to our shores. "Anytime we've got a hurricane or a tropical depression storm off shore, it increases the swell height, which increases rip currents, and beach erosion."
Lifeguards are staying on their toes, watching out for inexperienced swimmers who could get caught up in the agitated ocean due to Hurricane Bill.
"If we fly a no swimming flag or a double red, then we won't let people in above their ankles," Sanders said.
For surfers, the threat of a hurricane means killer waves. "This is the obvious surfer's paradise, we've all been praying for a little hurricane swell," said Chandler Madray of Wrightsville Beach.
But Sanders warns, even great swimmers should be extra careful. "If we do find surfers that are a little inexperienced, we'll have them exit the water also."
Sanders says the best advice is to know your limits, and keep an eye out for the changing risks as the storm progresses.

Title: | Venezuela Increases Royalty Fees For Oil Drilling Greatly |
Author: | NotiCen |
Subject: | Hugo Chavez multinationals social benefits programs tax nationalization Orinoco Hamaca industry foreign companies PDVSA royalty rates natural gas high prices ConocoPhillips ExxonMobil |
Abstract: | Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced that he would be increasing the royalties the government would charge for oil drilling along the Orinoco oil belt in the country's southeast. The move surprised corporate executives who had not received prior notice of the royalty increase. A former director of the state petroleum corporation warned that oil multinationals might sue over the hike while Chavez boasted that it would add large amounts of revenue to his social-benefits programs. Orinoco project royalties go from 1% to 16.6% "There will be no more petroleum given away," announced Chavez on his weekly radio and television broadcast. The increase would strip a tax holiday that had been established in the mid-1990s to encourage the development of heavy-crude projects along the Orinoco river corridor, dropping royalties companies would have to pay to between 0% and 1%. Chavez announced an increase to 16.6%, saying it was part of "the true nationalization of the petroleum industry." |

Women in Business Development Inc is dedicated to strengthening village economies in Samoa in ways that honour indigenous tradition, use traditional and modern technology, and promote fair trade. We empower and equip rural families to cultivate sustainable businesses that maximize farm-based resources. We also facilitate trade with global and regional partners, including The Body Shop, All Good Organics and C1Espresso, which understand the potential as well as the limitations of small-scale farming in Samoa.
The organization works in 183 Samoan villages and nurtures certified organic agricultural enterprises that annually puts more than SAT$600,000 into the hands of rural families. These families then have a chance to participate in a cash economy. For many, this means being able to send children to school, to pay utility bills and, importantly, to have control over their lives instead of relying on remittances. On a national scale, our farmers and artisans are using their skills, experience and time to uplift themselves and their communities. Through their collective industry, they are contributing to Samoa's success as a nation.
From our Fine Mat programme to our Farm-To-Table programme - our approach as been to identify all the obstacles and create solutions to overcome them so that we can connect our farmer and artisans to markets. One of our initiatives to support our Farm to Table work was a collaborative venture with chef/author Robert Oliver and the Samoa Tourism Authority to produce the award-winning book: Mea'ai Samoa - Recipes and Stories from the Heart of Polynesia.
"Food is the gateway into all cultures. For Samoa, our food expresses our intimate relationship with the land, the sea and our ancestors. We are blessed with an ocean so abundant in marine life that if we only take what we need, generations after us will also be fed from this blue food basket. We are also blessed with fertile, volcanic soil that is capable of recovering from the worst of natural disasters.
"In Samoa most of our farmers are organic by default. It has been our tradition to work with nature rather than command and oppress it. Our smallholder farmers are the core of our agricultural industry, and, as the head of Pacific High Level Organic Group, I see organic farming as not just our past but our future."

Are you asking about "show of force" or "lethal force?" It seems many people are talking about "lethal force."
AFAIK, "show of force" doesn't exist in my state. In IN, presenting a loaded weapon to someone is a Felony while presenting an unloaded gun is one step down to a high misdemeanor.
There's no reason to EVER "flash" your gun to someone. Either you need it and are correctly trained to draw, aim and fire when you need to or you don't need to use deadly force. If deadly force is not necessary, there is no reason to point your gun at anyone.

"Unique and entertaining, an absolute must."
Stunning book with a unique plot that manages to tie-in film history and neurology. Incredibly entertaining with one of the most unique main characters I've ever encountered. Bizarre and graphic, yet genuinely touching. A book that, while somewhat far-fetched, also rings true...very-much like life. Highly recommend.
I love this book, this series, this character. Love. It. A series that started as a clumsy yet endearing first book has matured into a heartfelt, meaningful and insightful window into the human condition...into life on this little blue sphere and the powerful beauty that humans are capable of, even in the face of absolute evil. These books just can't arrive fast enough. And the audio book, as read by James Marsters, is so epic, so soulful and genuine that I found myself moved to tears in public 4 times. Seriously. I wish I could meet Jim Butcher again and thank him for the joy that his imagination, his books have brought to my life. Do yourself a favor and allow yourself to enjoy the Harry Dresden thrill ride.
"A thrilling ride, full of twists and turns"
Incredibly enjoyable read that will not disappoint. Clever with a breath-taking pace, beautifully flawed characters that manage to make a far-fetched plot seem plausible. While you might find yourself suffering a bit from whiplash by the end, you will never guess who is the actual "bad-guy" 'til revealed. The true strength of Gardner's writing is the inner monologue of her characters, and this book is a perfect example. While I found the ending a little hollow, over-all an enjoyable book.
"Navel gazing. Didn't care - didn't finish."
This book reads like a self-consumed diary of a teenager. So much time is spent going over and over and OVER the flirting and building relationship between Alex and his associate that the story is lost. Frankly, I didn't care about Alex (or any other character, for that matter) enough to care about his possible extra-marital affair. I got to that point in this book where I ask myself "Do I care about this character? Do I want to know what happens to him?". With this book, the definitive answer was no. Moved on, didn't finish, and that's saying a lot. Disappointed I wasted a credit on this.
Beyond the stunning beautiful cover art...the story started out great, but has a major flaw in the main character. Without giving too much away, would Miriam REALLY stay with such an absolute jerk? Even when threatened with what he did? I doubt it. If Miriam is really this femme-fatale-road-weary-general-badass, I seriously doubt she'd let anybody push her around. It felt like a cop-out on behalf of the author...like he couldn't figure out a more plausible motivation. Beyond that, I found Wendig's writing style enjoyable and the narrator was wonderful.

David Price vs. Justin Verlander. The hitters who will have to deal with such problems are beneath the cut.
Two of the bigger complaints surrounding the Tigers recently: Max Scherzer is inconsistent and Miguel Cabrera is underperforming. So it's no surprise, then, that in a game in which Scherzer put together a third consecutive good start and Cabrera broke out with four hits and a homer, the Tigers dusted off the light-hitting Rays 5-2 […]

The Tigers travel to Metrodump South Tropicana Field as they open a four game set against the Tampa Bay Rays, who I'm told play the game the right way (as well as with copious amounts of pine tar). Lineups after the jump.
The Tigers are looking to take an improbable two of three in Texas with Doug Fister on the mound against Roy Oswalt and the Rangers. Lineups after the jump.
The temperature at first pitch on Tuesday night was 103 degrees. You can't call the Tigers' bats in the first inning that hot because they only had one hit, but two runs to start the game will always be a welcome incense. But after the first inning, Yu Darvish acclimated to the climate, did not […]

When Drew Smyly isn't picking, he's pitching, and he pitches tonight for the Tigers in the second of a three-game series with the Texas Rangers. Lineups after the jump:
The trade deadline is inching closer, and rumors are heating up. Last week I took a look at the second base market (hint: it sucks). Today we'll take a shot at the corner outfield market, which is slightly more robust. Brennan Boesch and Delmon Young continue to underwhelm, Andy Dirks is still shelved for the […]

^I don't think Katou needs another Kishimoto now that he has the original. Sure, he might miss the specific memories with the other, but I don't think he minds it any more than Kurono mind having a Tae who spent about a month with another Kurono, not remembering the first time they dated and all the lovey dovey crap they initially had.
And the 100 points IS necessary, for BFG purposes.
But I agree on the mission being more Oni style than Nuri style, and I certainly don't want another 100 pointer... or at least not another Mr. Regeneration toes with endless forms.
The point about this not being the last mission is that Gantz knows when the catastrophe is going to happen, so why have a bunch of balls made if they're not going to be used, and right now, it's very unlikely all those balls Kikuchi saw have been put to use already.
And, for the off-topic bit, welcome back, man. Where have you been?

Editors' Review
+Matching games are a great way to get kids to practice their memory skills. Super Match not only teaches memory, but also lets kids practice their letters, colors, and numbers. Adults will also find it a fun game for practicing memory skills.
Super Match has six categories to choose from, each of which focuses on a different theme: Alphabet, Autumn, Colors, Cute Critters, Numbers, and Winter. We started with Alphabet first and were greeted with six tiles. Tapping each one flips it over. At the bottom of the screen, you can switch between Easy and Hard modes, and select the number of tiles you want to play: 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14. The first game we played, we had to match upper- and lowercase letters. Once we completed the level, we were congratulated and offered the choice of checking our scores, playing again, or selecting another theme from the Deck. We moved on to the Autumn theme, which gave us various fall-like images to match, such as pumpkins and leaves. But this time we opted for the Hard setting, with 14 tiles, and were surprised by how challenging it was for us to match items quickly.
Super Match is a great game for kids young and old who want to work on enhancing their memory. We recommend it for all users.

How does Mr. Raymond defend his deliberate appearance of drunkenness?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Mr. Raymond reveals that he is not really a drunk--he intentionally appears to be drunk so that people will leave him alone. As a white man who has a relationship and children with a black woman, Dolphus Raymond knows that he and his family would face unrelenting persecution if he simply defied Maycomb's "social" standards. Therefore, in order to live his life how he wants to live it, he pretends to be drunk. The residents of Maycomb fall for his sham by seeing him as the eccentric town drunk.
Dolphus Raymond is another one of Lee's logical, objective characters--one who does not fall prey to Maycomb's tradition of racism and prejudice. Besides Atticus, Heck Tate, Miss Maudie, and Link Deas are similar characters who are able to look past skin color to see someone's real character.

Apparently Ryan Malone is working out with NYR. Thoughts?

Apparently Ryan Malone is working out with NYR. Thoughts?
Agreed 100%. Chemistry was a huge part of our success this year as well as in 2012.
I'm hoping so. Fowler was still the pick imo, but we'll see if Dylan proves me wrong.
Why all of the ill will towards Girardi? Yeah he had a bad Final, but he's a top pairing shutdown defenseman.
Who would have traded anything for Boyle, Stralman or Pouliot prior to the deadline? If anything of value was there Sather would have pulled the trigger. We probably could've gotten a bag of pucks or...
It was day 1 of free agency, we aren't done. Everyone just needs to relax.
I like the signing a lot. As long as Boyle is healthy, he should produce at a better clip than Stral.
My thoughts exactly.
I don't see how he would be cheaper after coming off of a 10 goal 46 point season.
I'd like to see Kristo get a shot. If he is the pure scorer that they say he is, he'd be a welcomed addition. the only problem is, where does he fit?
I feel like we would be more apt to give those guys a shot rather than moving them for a pick or mediocre player.
What a joke.
Here's the breakdown of the deal: $6M, $6.4M, $6.5M, $6.5M, $4.7, $4.7 - no thanks.
I hear ya, but I think $5.8 is still too much for Cally, especially with our needs.
Does that mean we get a 2nd round pick? I forget what the fine print of the MSL/ Cally trade was.
I would have no problem with that at all. Step is a nice player, but nothing special IMO.
This makes me feel better. I'm just hoping we grab a solid TE in the 2nd or 3rd.
i'm not upset with it, just a little confused. martin seemed to be the ideal fit for our line.
My thoughts exactly, but guaranteed nothing will be done. Blatantly dirty.
That type of ***** infuriates me. Someone has got to react to those slashes and not allow Simmonds to think he can get away with it. Dirty play, but what do you expect from the Flyers?
I know that it is highly unlikely that the Eagles would trade a pro bowl lineman to their rival, but personally, I would love this guy on the Giants. He's a mauler. Thoughts?
I hope this is sarcasm.
So he hasn't signed with the Giants?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2011) |
Captains Courageous is an 1897 novel, by Rudyard Kipling, that follows the adventures of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr., the spoiled son of a railroad tycoon, after he is saved from drowning by a fishing boat in the north Atlantic. The novel originally appeared as a serialisation in McClure's, beginning with the November 1896 edition.
The book's title comes from the ballad "Mary Ambree", which starts, "When captains courageous, whom death could not daunt". Kipling had previously used the same title for an article on businessmen as the new adventurers, published in The Times of 23 November 1892.[1]
Harvey Cheyne is the son of a wealthy railroad magnate and his wife, who are over-indulgent parents in San Diego, California. Washed overboard from a transatlantic steamship and rescued by fishermen off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, the young Harvey Cheyne can neither persuade them to take him quickly to port, nor convince them of his wealth. Disko Troop, captain of the We're Here, offers him a job as part of the crew until they return to port. With no other choice, Harvey accepts.
Through a series of trials and adventures, the youth learns to adjust to his rough new life and, with the help of his friend, the captain's son Dan Troop, he makes progress. Eventually, the schooner returns to port and Harvey wires his parents. They rush cross-country by their private rail car, given priority over commercial traffic, to Boston, Massachusetts. From there they go to the fishing town of Gloucester to find that their son has matured to become an industrious, serious and considerate young man.
Harvey's mother rewards the seaman who initially rescued her son. Harvey's father rewards Captain Troop by hiring his son Dan to work on his prestigious tea clipper fleet. He is delighted at his son's new maturity and their relationship improves, and Harvey decides to begin his career with his father's shipping lines.
The book was written during Kipling's time living in Brattleboro, Vermont. Kipling credited his family doctor and personal friend there with helping him on the novel. Kipling recalled in his autobiography:
Now our Dr. [James] Conland had served in [the Gloucester] fleet when he was young. One thing leading to another, as happens in this world, I embarked on a little book which was called Captains Courageous. My part was the writing; his the details. This book took us (he rejoicing to escape from the dread respectability of our little town) to the shore-front, and the old T-wharf of Boston Harbour, and to queer meals in sailors' eating-houses, where he renewed his youth among ex-shipmates or their kin. We assisted hospitable tug-masters to help haul three- and four-stick schooners of Pocahontas coal all round the harbour; we boarded every craft that looked as if she might be useful, and we delighted ourselves to the limit of delight. ... Old tales, too, he dug up, and the lists of dead and gone schooners whom he had loved, and I revelled in profligate abundance of detail—not necessarily for publication but for the joy of it. ...I wanted to see if I could catch and hold something of a rather beautiful localised American atmosphere that was already beginning to fade. Thanks to Conland I came near this.[2]
Kipling also recalled another who helped:
When, at the end of my tale, I desired that some of my characters should pass from San Francisco [sic] to New York in record time, and wrote to a railway magnate of my acquaintance asking what he himself would do, that most excellent man sent a fully worked-out time-table, with watering halts, changes of engine, mileage, track conditions and climates, so that a corpse could not have gone wrong in the schedule.[2]
The resulting account, in Chapter 9, of the Cheynes' journey from San Diego to Boston is a classic of railway literature. The couple travel in the Cheynes' private rail car, the "Constance", are taken from San Diego to Chicago as a special train, hauled by sixteen locomotives in succession. It takes precedence over 177 other trains. "Two and one-half minutes would be allowed for changing engines; three for watering and two for coaling." The "Constance" is attached to the scheduled express "New York Limited" to Buffalo, New York and then transferred to the New York Central for the trip across the state to Albany. Switched to the Boston and Albany Railroad, the Cheynes complete the trip to Boston in their private car, with the entire cross-country run taking 87 hours 35 minutes.
Kipling also recalled:
My characters arrived triumphantly; and, then, a real live railway magnate was so moved after reading the book that he called out his engines and called out his men, hitched up his own private car, and set himself to beat my time on paper over the identical route, and succeeded. [2]
Disko Troop was said to be given his first name because he was born on board his father's ship when it was iced in near Disko Island on the west coast of Greenland. One of the sailors, Long Jack, sometimes calls him Discobolus.

5 Trades to Profit From a January Rally
Visa (V - Get Report) is forming the exact same setup right now. Shares of the world's biggest payment card network have found themselves locked in an uptrending channel since the beginning of June, climbing higher on each bounce off of trend line support. With shares coming off of support right now, buyers have a good chance to jump on shares.
In a trend channel, it's important to wait for a bounce before buying. It may sound strange to wait for shares to move higher before you buy, but missing out on a little upside is worth the knowledge you glean from the bounce. All trend lines eventually fail, and when they do, you don't want to be the one holding the bag. By waiting for the bounce first, you can verify that Visa is still able to catch a bid at support before you put your money on the line.
The 50-day moving average has done a good job of mirroring trend line support for the past few months, so I'd recommend using it as your protective stop.

Alaska Seminar: Beautiful Views and Training
Posted by: Jason Thompson | May 06, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 7,300'
Hello again from the SE fork of the Kahiltna Glacier. Temperatures have remained chilly at night around here. Although a brief period of snow yesterday afternoon brought in some slightly warmer temperatures.
Yesterday we walked underneath the north Buttress of Mt. Hunter as we traveled further up the SE fork for some training. The scenery was breathtaking. The weather has been splendid.
Today we all summitted the Control Tower. Some moderate glacier travel gave us access to a beautiful Alaska snow ridge to the top. Wonderful views of the Alaskan Range were had from the top.
Everyone has adjusted well to life on the glacier.

Ecuador's Volcanoes: Cayambe Summit!
Posted by: Jason Thompson, Casey Grom | December 05, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Ecuador
Elevation: 18,997'
RMI Guides Casey Grom & Jason Thompson checked in this morning with the news that their team reached the summit of Cayambe (18,997') at 7:10 a.m. local time today. The team left the hut on Cayambe (15,330') just after midnight with a low cloud layer above keeping them warm to about 17,000'. The team climbed well with some steep and challenging conditions on the final approach to the summit. They reported mostly cloudy skies and knee to ankle deep snow in places. Unfortunately, the cloud cover obscured their views from the summit but they did take some time to celebrate their accomplishment before starting the descent. Everyone is back to the Cayambe hut. They are planning to pack up, load the vehicles and make their way down the mountain. They will stop for lunch and then continue to Chilcabamba Eco Lodge where they will stay and rest the next two nights.
Congratulations to the team!

A Low Cost Advertising Solution That Produces High Brand Awareness
WILMINGTON, Mass., May 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- No one likes to think they're easily sold. That's why Madison Avenue strives to develop ads that create "positive impressions" that can subliminally impact purchasing decisions at a later date -- when consumers are more likely to feel they're making independent purchasing decisions.
Good examples of this advertising technique at work can be found in Super Bowl commercials. In the weeks following the game this year, Chevrolet announced its game day advertising ultimately led to a 61 percent increase in sales, while Madonna's halftime performance led to a jump of over 1,700 percent in the sale of her top 10 song downloads.
Multi-million dollar Super Bowls commercials aside, not all advertising mediums are created equally in eliciting positive impressions. In fact, when it comes to low cost advertising and producing high brand awareness, there is one lower-profile medium that performs particularly well. According to a national survey conducted by a graduate researcher from the Sawyer Business School at Suffolk University in Boston, employee work uniforms featuring company brand logos and identifiable image designs are highly effective as advertising tools.
Titled, " Are Uniforms an Effective Marketing Tool?," the research surveyed 250 companies in dozens of customer facing industries and discovered that branded employee uniforms can outperform many prevailing methods of advertising by as much as 9 to 1 when it comes to creating positive impressions and heightened brand awareness.
As part of the national research survey, for example, 71 percent of auto repair shop managers said they found branded uniforms to be more effective than newspapers for advertising, while 63 percent reported uniforms to be more effective than radio in promoting the image of their businesses. Similarly, food company representatives said they found their customized employee uniforms to outperform newspapers, TV, and radio by margins of 20, 60, and 80 percent, respectively. And compared to billboards, newspapers and TV, twice as many general building contractors found uniforms most effective in creating brand awareness. For an executive summary of the research, please visit http://www.unifirst.com/advertising/. Among the key reasons branded, customized work uniforms received such distinguishing marks is their "advertising mobility," says Adam Soreff, Director of Marketing for UniFirst, a company that provides employee image uniforms to 240,000 business locations throughout North America. "Employees in personalized uniforms act as walking billboards," Soreff says. Plus there's the issue of return on investment, Soreff notes. "A company can outfit an employee in a rental uniform each workday for about the cost of a cup of coffee, and reap the many advertising benefits they provide." And as Harry J. Gold, CEO of Overdrive Interactive, a leading Boston-based interactive marketing agency, adds, "Like point of purchase display and internet search marketing, uniforms deliver impressions to the most important consumers, your active customers when they are about to buy." And you'll certainly get no argument from any Madison Avenue advertising executive on that particular point. About UniFirstCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

US general heads to Afghanistan to develop new strategy
(Read article summary)With Gen. Stanley McChrystal on his way to Kabul, CENTCOM commander Gen. David Petraeus warned Thursday that the situation in Afghanistan is the worst since 2001.
• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
Gen. David Petraeus, the head of US Central Command (CENTCOM), warned Thursday that the past week's violence in Afghanistan was the worst since the NATO troops invaded the country in 2001. The new US commander in the country, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, is headed to Kabul to develop a new counterinsurgency strategy – likely drawing on the one General Petraeus implemented in Iraq, which dramatically increased security.
CNN reports that General Petraeus, the head of US Central Command, said in a speech Thursday that while the situation in Iraq has been improving, Afghanistan "is headed in the other direction."
"There is no question that the situation has deteriorated over the course of the past two years and that there are difficult times ahead," said Gen. David Petraeus....
"The past week was the highest level of security incidents in Afghanistan's history, at least that post-liberation history," Petraeus said in a speech at the annual conference of the Center for a New American Security, a Washington think tank.
Petraeus's comments came as the United States is embarking on new strategy in Afghanistan, with increased troop levels and a focus on counterinsurgency tactics. Petraeus said America should draw on the lessons learned in Iraq.
