Jamie Foxx, Quvenzhane Wallis Talk Hair, Scams and Batman in New 'Annie' Trailer (Video)
A new trailer for Will Gluck's re-imagining of Annie was released on Thursday, and it's a hairy matter.
First revealed on Good Morning America, the trailer features fewer song-and-dance moments than the previously released one, and focuses more on the jokes instead. It opens on a soaring Jamie Foxx, who plays wealthy businessman and mayoral candidate Benjamin Stacks (an update on the Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks character). "I love this city -- the harder I work, the more opportunities I can get. No matter who you are or what you are, you just gotta want it bad enough," he says. "This city needs me," to which Rose Byrne humorously responds, "Alright, take it easy, Batman."

As in the first official trailer, Annie (Beasts of the Southern Wild's Quvenzhane Wallis) has a chance encounter with Benjamin when he saves her from getting hit by a van -- "like Batman," he notes -- but more of Wallis' title character is included, as she is concerned more about how her hair looks than the fact that she's just a tool in his campaign strategy. Cameron Diaz, as the mean-spirited orphanage owner Miss Hannigan, also makes fun of Annie's voluminous 'do, while Benjamin himself has his own hair-related problems.
But he does know how to handle a suddenly all-too-friendly Miss Hannigan, whom he tells when she approaches his car window, "I'm not looking for temporary companionship. God has a path for us all -- your path should be away from the car."
Bobby Cannavale also co-stars in the modern update, produced by Jay Z and Will Smith and set for theaters on Dec. 19. Watch the latest trailer above:

Can pregnant women intuit the sex of their children?
"So let's start with the fact that the study had only 100 people, which isn't nearly enough to be able to make any determinations like this. That's very small power. Secondly, it was already split into two groups, and the two groups by the way have absolutely zero scientific basis. There is no theory that says that if I want a girl or if I want a boy I'm going to be better able at determining whether my baby is in fact a girl or a boy."
- Maria Konnikova, speaking on Mike Pesca's podcast, The Gist.
Shown at top, above the quote by Konnikova, is a simulation of the study in question, under the assumption that the results were completely random (the null hypothesis). As usual, you'll find my code in R at the bottom. The actual group of interest had just 48 women. Of those, 34 correctly guessed the sex of their gestating babies. The probability that you'd get such an extreme result by chance alone is represented by the light green tails. To be conservative, I'm making this a two-tailed test, and considering the areas of interest to be either that the women were very right, or very wrong.
The "power" Konnikova is referring to is the "power of the test." Detecting small effects requires a large sample, detecting larger effects can be done with a much smaller sample. In general, the larger your sample size, the more power you have. If you want to understand the relationship between power and effect size, I'd recommend this lovely video on the power of the test.
As it turns out, Konnikova's claims notwithstanding, study authors Victor Shamas and Amanda Dawson had plenty of power to detect what turns out to be a very large effect. Adding together the two green areas in the tails, their study has a p-value of about 0.005. This a full order of magnitude beyond the generally used threshold for statistical significance. Their study found strong evidence that women can guess the sex of their babies-to-be.
Is this finding really as strong as it seems? Perhaps the authors made some mistake in how they setup the experiment, or in how they analyzed the results.
Since apparently Konnikova failed not only to do statistical analysis, but also basic journalism, I decided to clean up on that front as well. I emailed Dr. Victor Shamas to ask how the study was performed. Taking his description at face value, it appears that the particular split of women into categories was based into the study design; this wasn't a case of "p-value hacking", as Konnikova claimed later on in the podcast.
Konnikova misses the entire point of this spit, which she says has "absolutely zero scientific basis." The lack of an existing scientific framework to assimilate the results of the study is meaningless, since the point of the study was to provide evidence (or not) that that our scientific understanding lags behind what woman seem to intuitively know.
More broadly, the existence of causal relationships does not depend in any way on our ability to understand or describe (model) them, or on whether we happen to have an existing scientific framework to fit them in. I used to see this kind of insistence on having a known mechanism as a dumb argument made by smart people, but I'm coming to see it in a much darker light. The more I learn about the history of science, the more clear it becomes that the primary impediment to the advancement of science isn't the existence of rubes, it's the supposedly smart, putatively scientific people who are unwilling to consider evidence that contradicts their worldview, their authority, or their self-image. We see this pattern over and over, perhaps most tragically in the unwillingness of doctors to wash their hands until germ theory was developed, despite evidence that hand washing led to a massive reduction in patient mortality when assisting with births or performing operations.
Despite the strength of Shamas and Dawson's findings, I wouldn't view their study as conclusive evidence of the ability to "intuit" the sex of your baby. Perhaps their findings were a fluke, perhaps some hidden factor corrupted the results (did the women get secret ultrasounds on the sly?). Like any reasonable scientist, Shamas wants to do another study to replicate the findings, and told me that has a specific follow-up in mind.
Code in R:
trials = 100000 results = rep(0,trials) for(i in 1:trials) { results[i] = sum(sample(c(0,1),48,replace=T)) } extremes = length(results[results<=14]) + length(results[results>=34]) extremes/trials dat <- data.frame( x=results, above=((results <= 14) | (results >= 34))) library(ggplot2) qplot(x,data=dat,geom="histogram",fill=above,breaks=seq(1,48))

The Top Ten
1Justin Bieber
He sings like a girl! I don't think any mature women would go head over heals over him. Only a retard would like him!
First of all, he dissed Metallica and Megadeth and metal in general. If that's not a reason enough to hate him, he sounds like a girl and has girly products in his name (nail polish). Hate every fibre of his body and must die in the slowest and most painful way possible
Look, I don't like him either but hating him because he is a "girl" or "girly" is the stupidest reason to hate someone.
Ok, really! He should be number 1, with obama under him. Also, he more whines when he sings
[Newest]He's the dumbest person in the whole history of the universe.
2Barack Obama
What is bad about Barack Obama?
Why don't you guys shut up

[Newest]Bad bad bad I like hannah Montana more I think
4George W. Bush
What an absolute idiotic buffoon, how he got elected as president of the united states I will never know!
Hitler? Really? People need to realize that Hitler was insane, not stupid. The chances of being both stupid AND crazy are almost impossible.
Crazy people are usually smart and stupid people are usually sane.
Why is he all the way down here?! What happened to most Americans who thought it was a good idea to vote for this imbecile?! What is wrong with everybody?!
[Newest]Not as bad as Obama, but certainly no genius.
5Kim Kardashian
She doesn't know how to treat guys right! Plus, she'll never have kids with that kind of attitude! Get a job, you snob!
Stupid bimbo can't even date, act, dress well and babysitting children. Plus, why is Megan Fox on this list? She ain't that dumb!
CanÂ't stand her voice. She has a fake ass and she should be run over by a truck
[Newest]Brings shame to the Armenian culture.
6Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson
She's so stupid and fat and her mom hoo wee FATTY BOO BOO
She's fat not stupid. She had enough smarts to get her own T.V. show, which none of us have. She's still Americas Trailer Trash Sweetheart. An exact representation of how our country really is whenever you pull back the curtains.
Just pretend you rule everyone else, and you eventually will. Logic.

[Newest]How? Rebecca isn't dumb she is talented!
9Paris Hilton
Some of these people are cartoon characters people... Come on... Anyway, you guys are actually calling the president stupid? Wow... And despite the fact that Adolph Hitler is hated everywhere, he was very intelligent and only lost because of his inadequate generals who decided not to completely swarm Paris and not to finish bombing Britain. These were the main reasons why Germany lost in World War II. And they were not the faults of Adolph Hitler.
Do I really need to explain?
It's people like this that deteriorate humanity, it's not a great wonder as to why.

There's a fine line between crazy and stupid, and it's hard to manipulate an entire country if you're an idiot (unless you're manipulating a country of idiots, in which case, it's not that hard. )
He tried to invade Russia in the winter (napoleon all over again)
He declared war on the USSR instead of focusing his military might on the british isles, in which case he almost certainly would have won the war.
He tried to take over Stalingrad just so he could re name it Hitlerburg.
He declared war on the United States, a huge and powerful enemy, just because Japan did.
He fired all of his generals and put Himmler, who knew almost nothing about military strategy, in charge of much of his army.
He believed jesus was Aryan even though he was Jewish.

Actually, she's not dumb. She is incredibly smart, scoring a 1500 on her SATs and has an IQ of around 140. Just because you don't like her doesn't mean she is dumb.

I hate Obama, but he is not dumb. I hate Michael Moore, Hitler, and George Lucas, but they are nowhere near dumb. Busch is not dumb either! He was not the best president, but he is far from dumb. I would put snooki at 2. Do you know who should be number one? Not Obama, Busch, Hitler, or even Moore, but the majority of AMERICAN PEOPLE! Us! We have been dumbed down to the point where we are calling are evil, but still smart leaders dumb! Are education system is crap, our food is crap, are medical system is crap, and we are basically mentally retarded because of it! We can stay distracted in our bubble and watch the idiot tube, or we can stop being victims of crimes against humanity, get out of denial, and hold the evil ones accountable! Leave it to us to call the man whos administration brought us socialism dumb. Wise up people and make a real list of dumb idiots.

He should not be on this list. Anyone ever thought he might just be playing it up for the audience? He makes slow motion videos, builds massive projects on Minecraft and its one of the funniest British people I know. And I know a lot being British myself.
He asked someone if something can go the speed of push
He said if you put a mirror a year into space and use a telescope to look at the mirror you can see a year into the past. 11/10
You can. Two years, actually. He's talking about time delay caused by the speed of light. Gavin's said a lot of dumb things, but that's not one of them.

Yo, she is not dumb. She has a 160 IQ. During school, she was an A student. On the SATs, she only missed a perfect score by less than 100 points. Sometimes, she would listen in on college history lectures while in high school. Also she took IB and AP classes as a youth. Remove her from this list.

Controlling Mechanisms of Contaminant Ion Leakage in Condensate Polishing Systems
Extracting the maximum benefit from condensate polishing systems continues to be a top priority among many electric utility plants.

Industrial Treatment
Evaluation of the Use of Crushed Recycled Glass as a Filter Medium: Part 1
When compared with traditional sand filter media, crushed recycled glass can provide significant capital and annual cost savings.
Plant Fine Tunes Filtration Performance with On-Line W
Because particle counting is a more sensitive measurement than turbidity measurement, liquid-borne particle counting is playing an increasing role in potable water treatment. At San Francisco's Harry Tracy Filter Plant, operators are using a water particle counter to fine-tune filter operations. Based on the successful performance of its online unit, plant management is planning to fine-tune filter runtimes even further by installing additional particle counters to monitor raw water influent as well as individual filter and combined filter effluent particle counts.
Carbon Block Manufacturing
Carbon block is used in a wide variety of applications and performs a wider range of filtration tasks than other products. How carbon block is engineered will determine its use.
Continuous Microfiltration System Ensures Safe Drinking Water For Wisconsin Residents
The Kenosha Water Utility treatment facility, located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin, needed to upgrade its two plants to meet the expanding water needs of the community it services. Continuous microfiltration helped meet those needs.

enterprise search
Enterprise search is an extensive search system that provides the means to search both structured and unstructured data sources with a single query. It addresses the needs of businesses that need to store, retrieve and track digital information of all kinds. Data sources in enterprise search systems includes information stored in many different containers such as e-mail servers, application databases, content management systems, file systems, intranet sites and external Web sites. Enterprise search systems provide users with fast query times and search results that are usually ranked in such a way that the information you need is easily accessible.
Enterprise search systems typically do not search the public Internet, but rather everything that is contained within the organization's own private corporate network, on the inside of the firewall.

I got this as a sample at lush for my newly permed hair ... i found the smell to be AMAZING ( if you like fresh coconut smell). It doesn't lather at all so it's hard to actually wash your hair with it. Also the coconut pieces are kind of a pain to get out of your hair !!! I have thin hair and it's still a pain in the you know what. So after all that jazz i figured the results would be amazing and worth it .... WRONG !!! it did nothing ... i would even say it kind of dried out my hair and made it a bit stringy ... which is the opposite of what it claims to do. I am glad i got this as a sample and didn't buy the $22 tub of it. That's another thing that is a pain having to scoop it out with your fingers from a tub. All around i wouldn't ever buy this.

I love love love this shampoo. Yes the bits of coconut are a bit weird, but I've got very curly hair, and I don't have any difficulty washing them out. It makes my hair soft, shiny and bouncy, and it smells absolutely fab.
If you've got curly hair and struggle with it, give this shampoo a try.

Best. Shampoo. Ever.
Okay, so, this smells sooooo delish, like a really nice coconut.
It has nice little chunks that makes it feel like you're massaging your head every time you wash your hair.
Also, it brings my curls out of hiding, leaving my hair, soft, shiny, and curly!
I use it with Coolaulin, and my hair has never looked better.

Although I love the smell of this product, I just hate that fact that you have to be careful with the coconut junks that stay in your hair. I have really curly hair and it would take me forever to remove all the coconut chucks out of it. I don't think I would but this product again, I rather just keep using the solid shampoos

in love with this ! because it contains real coconut, it smells divine. not that fake coconut smell you get from artificial frangrances in other products. USE THIS TO GROW YOUR HAIR!! massage it into your roots and it nicely exfoliates your scalp with the coconut pieces, which stimulates blood flow and promotes hair growth. regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff and lice too. coconut makes ur hair stronger, and hair grows when its strong ... its one of the best natrual nutrition for hair. this stuff cleans your hair, moisurisers without coating the hair in silicon and helps grow hair?! yes please =] use in conjuction with LUSH's Coolaulin conditioner for maximum results !!

LOVE!!!! i have triple F hair. frizzy, fuzzy, and fluffy, that feels like wire. i have been using this with biolage conditioning balm and frizz ease serum and the results are AMAZING. people keep commenting that my hair looks longer (b/c it's not kinked up and frizzy), and my husband AND my hairdresser asked what i had changed, b/c my hair texture is so much softer. even though this shampoo is on the unconventional side, i would highly recommend!!!

I was reluctant to try this. the SA steered me away from CW When first trying Lush shampoos; she said it would most likely weigh down my slightly dry and fine curls. I have been a slave to BIG ever since. However, my hair has been particularly dry and frizzy this summer. I tried richer conditioners and not washing as often. Both of those attempts at retaining moisture left my hair lank. I decided to try a sample of kinky curly after all. I was fully prepared to hate it because of the negative reviews here. I used it without conditioner and let my hair dry naturally. Yay!! Soft, defined curls with no heavy look or feel. I can attest to the cleaning power of this shampoo despite it's low lather. I was three days into dirty hair, post-workout and my scalp felt clean after use. The trick is to emulsify this produc on your fingertips (a little dab will do ya), and scrub the scalp with your fingertips. I can feel the coconut pieces in my hair when I get out of the shower, but there's no trace of them once my hair is dry and styled. I love this. I will continue to use BIG and alternate with curly whirly when I need a moisture boost. It's worth the price for good hair days. On a side note, I've also been using a sample of the r and b hair treatment and I am loving it too, but I couldn't find a way to review it. So here goes:
the key to making this product work is using it sparingly until you figure out how much your hair will absorb. I've been using it as a finishing cream to keep the ends of aforementioned curls moisturized and for eliminating frizz. The texture of the product is literally like butter and could certainly be too heavy for those with normal to oily locks. Start by warming a tiny dab between palms and appling to ends then moving up the shaft if you need it. This application method leaves my curls softly defined, barely piecey and frizz free even in in the humid summer of swampland USA. The smell is HEAVEN. The BEST lush fragrance IMO. I could slather this all over my body. It's floral, fruity, and softly musky. Like rub rub rub or seanik with sex appeal. Fine haired femmes should not fear this. Moderation is key.

This shampoo is lovely. It leaves my hair nice and soft and it smells wonderful. I think the biggest problem with this product is that because of it's texture most people aren't quite sure how to use it. As other reviewers have said, a little really does go a long way. I take a little bit, rub in my hands with water and rub onto my scalp. I then dip my head back into the shower stream to make sure my hair is really wet before I really start scrubbing (I hope that made sense). I get a great lather with this method and find this product to last quite a long time (approx 5 months with almost daily use and I have long, thick hair).
This product is best for those with drier hair, I can imagine it being too rich for normal hair.

I originally thought I liked this because of how gentle it feels but this shampoo is the biggest pain to use! Like most people, I assumed the coconut bits would dissolve once in water. Nope! It doesn't come out of your hair fully when you rinse with water which is really annoying but it does come out once you apply conditioner, I guess the slip in conditioner helps to get it out. But still, it takes a little more effort and rinsing to get it all out, it's just not practical. I don't feel the bits did much for my hair anyway. I've also started to become paranoid that the bits will start clogging up my drain the more I use it. It doesn't do enough for my hair for me to have to worry about clogging my drain plus it's too expensive.

This product just sucks. lol. It really does. It doesn't smell good at all. It has a fake coconut scent. It looks really weird and has coconut peices in it. It's intended for curly hair so why would you put particles on the inside? I don't understand the thought process behind that. I don't understand the packaging either? It's hard to not get water in the container. I used this a couple of times and each time my hair was left really dry. I have super long 3b-3c curls and it took me forever to rinse all the coconut particles out of my hair. Uh. I used the rest of the product up as body wash. I will not repurchase. Way better cleansing products out there for curly hair.

Fall blooming japonicas
Well no response to my 'Oct. blooming japonicas' so how 'bout fall blooming??? I realize sasanquas bloom in the fall but someone told me there are a few japonicas that bloom. Would Daikagura be considered a fall blooming japonica? Thanks.
White by the Gate, Christmas Beauty, High Hat and Professor Sargent, start blooming early, sometimes in November in Atlanta but it depends on the weather too. Last year, some of my Fall blooming plants started in March because of unusually warm temps thru December in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area.
I am in zone 7b in southern New Jersey. My Spring's Promise" Camellia japonica faithfully bloomed in time for Thnksgiving each of the last 3 years. Others I know in my town do not bloom until winter or spring. Mine gets quite a bit of direct sun. This may account for my plant's late fall blooming characteristics.

Have you noticed the Plymouth Building?
The sliver of a skyscraper, 417 S. Dearborn, hides out between Holabird & Root's' historic Old Colony Building to the north and William LeBaron Jenney's Manhattan Building to the south; a waterboy caught between a pair of linebackers.
But the 11-story Plymouth Building holds it own between the two architectural giants. So much so, the city's Commission on Chicago Landmarks was set to consider preliminary landmark status for 110-year-old building today as part of a redevelopment project to convert the vacant structure into a student housing.

Thursday Podcast: Stirring it up with Barbara LynchMar. 4, 2010
Barbara Lynch loves vegetables. She'll eat pretty much anything from the ground that's been harvested or picked by some local farmer. But she's also a savvy restaurateur and one of the most talented chefs - male or female - in the country. The Boston native has been as prolific as Rich Melman but with the focused culinary zeal of a Paul Kahan.
Her story is remarkable: growing up in the projects in South Boston (Southie), with her seven siblings and a single mother, she has literally worked her ass off, staging in Italy, paying her dues' and learning from the masters. She's about to open her 9th restaurant - in Boston of course - and is now touring on her first cookbook, Stir - Mixing It Up In The Italian Tradition.

Marathon week for Chicago's premier movie manMar. 4, 2010
Ladies and gentlemen, it's "Roger Ebert Week" in Chicago! OK, not really. But it sure seems like it is -- and here are some of the reasons why:
- It began with front-page stories in both the Tribune and the Sun-Times trumpeting a computer miracle that re-created Roger's voice, thanks to software developed by a Scottish company using audio tracks recorded by the Chicago treasure and iconic movie critic before he lost the ability to speak because of cancer. On his blog, Roger wrote:
"Yes, 'Roger Jr.' needs to be smoother in tone and steadier in pacing, but the little rascal is good. To hear him coming from my own computer made me ridiculously happy."
- There was Roger's eagerly anticipated appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Tuesday in which his devoted wife, Chaz, heard her husband's voice for the first time in nearly four years via the aforementioned device.

Breaking form a bit today with today's Inter Mission.
(For those of you who are paying super close attention and are sticklers for consistency, I typically post one of my cartoons/greeting cards in this mid-week slot.)
It turns out that March 4th was the day that 3 of our most visionary presidents took the stage and made their Inaugural Address. How perfect, right? A speech about beginnings on the one day of the year that, thanks to word play, we can equate with "marching forth"!
Thomas Jefferson: March 4, 1801
Abraham Lincoln: March 4, 1861
Franklin D. Roosevelt: March 4, 1933
I hope everyone is getting ready to MARCH FORTH tomorrow, March 4th (whether that means figuratively with your personal life objective, and/or literally with regards to the marching video idea from Monday).
As you ponder and prepare, I will leave you with these Inaugural Address quotes to inspire and get the blood pumping...

Hello forum folks!
I'll be heading to Hainan in late March, but I'm not so much interested in the beaches as the forests and farms. I would like to visit the Jianfengling National Forest Park, but it seems no public buses go there. Does anyone know how I can visit the place? I will be travelling alone on a budget, so I don't want to hire a driver to take me around.
Perhaps there is a good reasonably priced day trip offered by a travel company? Any recommendations? Or do you think it's not worth visiting?
Many thanks in advance!

Flight from Neveryeonby Samuel R. Delany
In his four-volume series Return to Neveryeon, Hugo and Nebula award-winner Samuel R. Delany appropriated the conceits of sword-and-sorcery fantasy to explore his characteristic themes of language, power, gender, and the nature of civilization. Wesleyan University Press has reissued the long-unavailable Neveryeonvolumes in trade paperback.The eleven stories, novellas, and novels in Return to Neveryeon's four volumes chronicle a long-ago land on civilization's brink, perhaps in Asia or Africa, or even on the Mediterranean. Taken slave in childhood, Gorgik gains his freedom, leads a slave revolt, and becomes a minister of state, finally abolishing slavery. Ironically, however, he is sexually aroused by the iron slave collars of servitude. Does this contaminate his mission -- or intensify it? Presumably elaborated from an ancient text of unknown geographical origin, the stories are sunk in translators' and commentators' introductions and appendices, forming a richly comic frame.
The Flight from Reality in the Human Sciencesby Ian Shapiro
In this captivating yet troubling book, Ian Shapiro offers a searing indictment of many influential practices in the social sciences and humanities today. Perhaps best known for his critique of rational choice theory, Shapiro expands his purview here. In discipline after discipline, he argues, scholars have fallen prey to inward-looking myopia that results from--and perpetuates--a flight from reality. In the method-driven academic culture we inhabit, argues Shapiro, researchers too often make display and refinement of their techniques the principal scholarly activity. The result is that they lose sight of the objects of their study. Pet theories and methodological blinders lead unwelcome facts to be ignored, sometimes not even perceived. The targets of Shapiro's critique include the law and economics movement, overzealous formal and statistical modeling, various reductive theories of human behavior, misguided conceptual analysis in political theory, and the Cambridge school of intellectual history. As an alternative to all of these, Shapiro makes a compelling case for problem-driven social research, rooted in a realist philosophy of science and an antireductionist view of social explanation. In the lucid--if biting--prose for which Shapiro is renowned, he explains why this requires greater critical attention to how problems are specified than is usually undertaken. He illustrates what is at stake for the study of power, democracy, law, and ideology, as well as in normative debates over rights, justice, freedom, virtue, and community. Shapiro answers many critics of his views along the way, securing his position as one of the distinctive social and political theorists of our time.

Flight: New and Selected Poemsby Linda Bierds
From this critically acclaimed and award-winning poet, a stunning volume of new and selected works that display her signature intelligence, depth, and vigorous originality. Hailed as ?visionary? by The New Yorker and ?radiant? by The New York Times Book Review, Linda Bierds returns with a collection that gives us the best of her astonishing work, and then gives us more: the gift of fifteen new poems. As a poet, she has always shied away from the easy indulgences of confessional poetry, turning her attention instead to the things that unite us in our common humanity? art, science, music, history?and bringing alive people (some famous, some little-known) who have made contributions to these spheres. The new poems are no less vital, transporting the reader from medieval to modern-day Venice to the moon; from anatomical sketches to primitive mapping and early naturalism? returning always to the empathy that guides her work. These tightly woven poems are linked organically through repeating imagery, reflected and refracted through the prism of Bierds?s singularly rich imagination. Her language itself communicates just as much as this visuality; as Stanley Plumly has said, ?The autobiography of her imagination would only be half as intense were the writing itself less beautiful and clear, less perfect to pitch. ? .
Flight of a Witch (Inspector Felse Mystery #3)by Ellis Peters
[Back of Book] "There is a kind of beauty that produces wolf whistles, and another kind of beauty that creates silence all about it, taking the voices out of men's mouths and the breath out of their throats." Annet Beck's beauty is of the second order and it worries her parents so much that they guard her as closely as a prisoner. . .until the rainy Thursday in October when she disappears. Annet is last seen vanishing over the crest of Hallowmount, a hill in the remote Welsh Country believed to be the domain of witches. Five days later she mysteriously reappears, claiming that she was gone for only two hours.

The Flight of the Dragonflyby Robert L. Forward
With the publication of Dragon's Egg, a breathtaking, brilliantly extrapolated exploration of alien intelligence on a neutron star, Robert L. Forward delighted readers and critics alike with a tour-de-force marriage of known physics to the wonder-filled unknown, earning the praise of such masters as Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. Now Dr. Forward turns that same sure eye, sharp and twinkling, to the corrosive, lopsided seas and jagged, volcanic peaks of the double-globed planet Roche-world, discovered in the near future by flyby probes sent to scan the region surrounding Barnard's Star, and chosen as the destination for the first manned expedition beyond our solar system. Propelled on their generation-long, sub-light speed voyage by laser-powered lightsails, a select crew of sixteen top pilots, astrophysicists, and other specialists aboard the interstellar ship Prometheus acquaint themselves with such shipboard marvels as the computerized "imps" and the "Christmas Bush" while readying the surface excursion module known as Magic Dragonfly for its descent into the frontiers of Roche and Eau, the environmentally disparate, atmospherically linked components of the world from which they can never return. When the Dragonfly accidentally crash-lands during its investigative pursuit of an anomaly in Eau's ammonia- laden seas, the crew aboard Prometheus plan a rescue mission while deciphering the data coming in through "Jill, the Dragonfly's onboard computer, at breakneck speed. For the "anomaly," one of many, is not only intelligent but as inquisitive as the humans set adrift upon Eau's frozen seas. While across the gulf of space, all humanity awaits word of the Dragonfly's fate, human and flouwen confront each other to span the gulf of fear and solitude, and each greets the emissaries of an alien race.

Flight of the Eagleby Conrad Black
Like an eagle, American colonists ascended from the gulley of British dependence to the position of sovereign world power in a period of merely two centuries. Seizing territory in Canada and representation in Britain; expelling the French, and even their British forefathers, American leaders George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson paved their nation's way to independence. With the first buds of public relation techniques-of communication, dramatization, and propaganda-America flourished into a vision of freedom, of enterprise, and of unalienable human rights.In Flight of the Eagle, Conrad Black provides a perspective on American history that is unprecedented. Through his analysis of the strategic development of the United States from 1754-1992, Black describes nine "phases" of the strategic rise of the nation, in which it progressed through grave challenges, civil and foreign wars, and secured a place for itself under the title of "Superpower." Black discredits prevailing notions that our unrivaled status is the product of good geography, demographics, and good luck. Instead, he reveals and analyzes the specific strategic decisions of great statesmen through the ages that transformed the world as we know it and established America's place in it.
