It is dark territory, indeed. The dead woman remains unidentified and seemingly unknown to everyone. But her companion has a name: Gavin Quick, and his troubled past eventually landed him on a therapist's couch. It's there, on familiar turf, that Delaware hopes to find vital clues. And that means going head-to-head with Dr. Mary Lou Koppel, a popular celebrity psychologist who fiercely guards the privacy of her clients...dead or alive.
But when there's another gruesomely familiar murder, Delaware surmises that his investigation has struck a nerve. As he trolls the twisted wreckage of Quick's tormented last days, what he finds isn't madness, but the cold-blooded method behind it. And as he follows a chain of greed, corruption, and betrayal snaking hideously through the profession he thought he knew, he'll discover territory where even he never dreamed of treading.
As provocative as it is suspenseful, Therapy is premier Kellerman that finds the award-winning author firing on all creative cylinders and carrying readers on an electrifying ride to a place only he can take them, for an experience they won't soon forget.
©2004 Jonathan Kellerman; (P)2004 Random House, Inc. Random House Audio, a division of Random House, Inc.
"Compassionate, intelligent protagonists, interesting secondary characters (including complex villains), strong plot lines, and clear, unpretentious writing. Kellerman delivers all these once again." (Publishers Weekly)
"Fun Listening"
It had been awhile since I'd had a good Kellerman book to enjoy. I started this on audio...got so hooked that I bought the $25 hardcover to read on a plane...then went back to audio when I got home.
This was enjoyable and well written. Great mystery and recommended.
"Decent book"
this was a decent book. not very fast paced ,but decent. and not jonathan's best work either. I found that the process to how Dr. delaware arrived at some of his conclusion to be far fetched and reaching which is why when he turned out to be correct it sort of killed it for me . I was expecting more of a twist to the plot. A bit more natural flow with some logic to it. instead you get these giant leaps , that turn out to be true.
"A good story with a great reader"
Kellerman always writes entertaining stories - some better than others. This was one of his better ones, though a bit on the long side. Milo is another great character, and Alex is 'real'. The plot coincidences were a stretch in places, but all in all, enjoyable.
The reader, Jonathan Rubenstein, is the best audio reader I have ever listened to (and I probably have listened to at least fifty books). His uses his voice, his inflections, intonations, accents - all of it - as if it were an instrument being played by a maestro. I guess it runs in the family, just not the piano!
"Therapy needs therapy"
I am an avid fan of Jonathan Kellerman and am always the first to praise and recommend his books to my friends. However, this one came across to me as a real bomb. Neither Alex nor Milo had his usual sparkle and their back-and-forths, usually so lively and entertaining, were dull, to say the least. The writing, itself, was not up to par but was better than a lot of writers on their good days. I guess what I objected to most was that the author went on and on about the characters' pasts and maladies rather than advancing the story. The killer identified himself halfway through the book and the rest was merely filling. I would rather read a short, really great book than a long, repetitive one.
I will, of course, listen to more of Mr. Kellerman's books and I'm sorry I felt compelled to write this review but when my favorite author, at least in this genre, fails I had to tell you about it.
"Bring back Robin!"
OK, I liked the book, but I really miss the girlfriend Robin and Spike. While they made a modest appearance in this novel, it wasn't enough. The new chick's OK, but she's no Robin. Kellerman has crafted yet another, "can't wait to see how it finishes" mystery. I found myself driving a bit more slowly as I approached home because I didn't want to stop listening to the story. Milo is very present in this novel and as a result you get to know his character better, although Rick was hardly mentioned. The more I learn about this detective with the big, meaty paws, the more I like him.
"Too much detail"
For me, this is a rare case where the abridged version would have been better. The book was just took too long to get to the finale, and I thought there was way too much detail with the dialog.
I would say it would be worth 5 hours of my time, but not 10!
"Kellerman strikes again"
An interesting begining, good characters, but the usual Kellerman laziness in wraping up the story line. The reader is excellent however.
"Up there with Davinci Code"
I'm surprised by the overall rating of this book, but I know everyone has different tastes. This book got my attention from the very beginning (usually it take 1 or 2 CD's before the story gets going) and has continued to add new twists and turns with each chapter. I recommend it and am going to request more content by this author.
Retired former magazine editor who is working harder than ever as Mr. Dad to his 12-year-old daughter.
"It passed the time"
Didn't think this book was particularly good or particularly bad. I thought the characters were interesting and the story was passable. Not the kind of novel that would wear down you iPod battery. Yet the listening experience wasn't unpleasant. By now most who are reading this review will probably have figured out that I thought this book was average, as was the narration. This is the first Delaware story I've listened to and got the impression that Milo was the star of the series. Maybe that's the way Kellerman uses Delaware, sort of in story-teller mode. Might listen to another one of these. Might not.
Say something about yourself!
"silly plot, bad narrator"
I couldn't stand this narrator - It made it hard to the believe in any of the characters. Also, Kellerman slips in bizarre right-wing commentary wherever he can. At least twice, the result is absurd, The cariacture of a leftist bookstore and the speech given there about Israel and Zionism were pure propaganda. Also, he tries to suggest that talk radio is run by anti-George Bush shock-jocks., oh yeah, and the villainous network of prison-reformers is another weird attempt to make progressives seem "outwardly nice" but secretly wicked and scheming. Since when did Richard Mellon Scaife begin paying Kellerman to depict a world in which none of us live?

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley will announce whom she's picked to replace Sen. Jim DeMint in a press conference Monday at noon, and The New York Times' Jennifer Steinhauer and Jeff Zeleny now report that person will be Rep. Tim Scott. The move would make Scott, an African-American Tea Party Republican whom DeMint reportedly preferred as his successor, the only black senator. DeMint is leaving the Senate early to lead the Heritage Foundation. Update: And it's official: Haley picked Scott. She said she expects him to "fly through 2014," when he'll be up for reelection.
Overqualified comedian Stephen Colbert launched a Twitter campaign to get Haley to appoint him to the seat. Haley played along by publishing a massive oppo research dump on Colbert on Facebook.

What is different about hair and makeup ads is that you typically can't get away with a lot of copy and clutter. A single photo often dominates and communicates the feeling of the company or product. When women buy beauty products, they buy a dream and photos have to convey these aspirations at a glance.
Color is also important to these ads because colors are the basis for good-looking hair and makeup. More than almost any other type of creative, the colors have to be right on.
In this ad, the goal is to draw in customers who want to freshen up their looks for spring. The photo has a lovely woman wearing makeup in cool tones of teal and pink. The designer picked up on this and used the same colors in the headline and again in the offer of a free makeover. The other important info--the location and phone number--is featured in a bright pink background. {C}{C}
Color is important again in this ad for a salon. The logo is in purple, yellow and black (an interesting combo!). The designer created a soothing background with the yellow and purple fading into a tint of the latter. The use of the incense and flower evokes a soothing scent and the stones suggest various therapeutic treatments. The result is the feeling of a spa versus a straightforward beauty salon, delivering the message that customers will be pampered. The dominant part of this ad is the woman's thick, curly, voluminous hair. The eye follows it down to her face and then up to the text in yellow to perceive prices in yellow and services in white--again reinforcing the importance of color. This hair salon uses red in its logo. Therefore, the red headline tying into Valentine's Day makes sense (pet peeve: it's Valentine's not Valentines!). This ad targets the person who wants to stand out in a crowd. The salon features hair design, not just hair cuts. That's why the image is unique with standout hair, makeup and jewelry (oh, and she's topless too). There doesn't need to be a lot of copy. You either buy into the concept or not. In contrast to all of the above, there are hair and makeup ads for the price-conscious. Below a couple of images of attractive people are shown because no one wants a bad style. But once you get past that, the target customer for this company doesn't want to pay a lot. The salon is willing to provide price reductions to drive new clients to give it at try. Color is also less important here. But you can bet any new business won't come from clients of Quattro, the salon featured above, no matter what the price! As you can see, businesses focused on improving the look of their customers have to understand the target market and focus on the dreams and aspirations of the customers they serve. The right photos are crucial (even if they are not images of people) and color can be used to reinforce important messages. And the more expensive the service, the less cluttered the advertising should be.
Have you ever tried a salon based on the advertising? If so, what about the ad convinced you? Would you pay more for a haircut or makeup because of the image the company portrays?

Two passengers were killed and 47 others injured when eight bogies of the Tata-Bilaspur passenger train derailed after Maoists blew up railway tracks on Thursday night in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district.
Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee told PTI from Delhi that the train comprised 10 coaches of which five derailed and three toppled over as also the engine.
She said two bodies were found in a overturned bogie, while 47 passengers were injured. Six passengers were trapped in another capsized bogie.
Three passengers have been rescued so far as rescuers were using gas cutters to gain entry to the coaches, three of which were badly damaged, Ms. Banerjee said.
The blast occurred between Manohar and Posoita railway stations just in front of the engine of the train, some 20 minutes after a pilot engine had passed.
Ms. Banerjee said, "Maoists blew up a portion of a railway track which caused the derailment. There were also three to four blasts nearby to deter rescuers."
Superintendent of Police (Rail) A.B. Homker told PTI in Ranchi, "Railway staff and rescue teams have reached the spot, and are cutting open the bogies to rescue the injured passengers."
Helpline numbers
The railway authorities on Thursday night announced helpline numbers following the derailment of the Tata-Bilaspur passenger train.
The helpline numbers are: 06587238072, 06572290324 and 06612570680.
Keywords: Maoists, rail track, blast, Tata-Bilaspur passenger, Ghaghra Halt, West Singhbhum district

Vendors ready to serve NASCAR fans this weekend
Preparations are underway to ensure there's enough food and beverages to feed more than 90,000 mouths while vendors are bringing in souvenirs and products to offer NASCAR fans.
Tony Bedek, executive chef at NHMS, said, "It takes a lot of planning. Months out we start to plan for the two big races that come in."
"We've been doing this for a while, so have it down to a science with purchasing just enough to make it with a little bit of leftover," added Bedek.
"If it's really hot, food sales may be down, but drink sales will be up," said Davis.
"We have staff ready to feed a hundred thousand people on Sunday," said Davis, who hires about 150 employees.
"It's busier than you can imagine and very challenging. We are restocking the restaurant and concession stands to about 2 a.m. to prepare for the next day, with Sunday being the big show," said Wilkinson, as he was setting up his camper for the week.
Young legs are ideal to run up and down the bleachers to sell food during the race. Eleven-year old Jack Davis will be selling popcorn on Sunday. "I sell popcorn in the stand, and I don't mind runs up and down the stairs to costumers." He can carry about 12 boxes at a time.
All those RVs require services, such as ice, water, trash removal and septic pumping. Ice is a hot commodity for the campers in July. Ernie Peidsey III from Allard Ice was cruising the rows of RVs and selling ice for $3.50 a bag to hot costumers.
Theresa Berry was happy to have ice to make ice coffee while sitting by her RV home.
Camping World will be on hand with a large tent full of RV gear, accessories plus new and used RVs for sale.
"At NHMS, people will have an opportunity to watch a boatload of exciting car races from modify cars to Nationwide Series to Cup Series, which all have souvenirs," said Hawk.
"There will be personal appearances by some drivers to do autographs on Souvenir Row from Friday through Sunday. Visit the souvenir trailers for information or call the Speedway for times," said Don Hawk senior VP of business affairs with Speedway Motor Sports, Inc.
Service information will be available in the parking lot. AAA Insurance will have drivers signing autographs from its booth.

The confusion apparently resulted from law-enforcement agencies winning Putin's approval for a five-year prison term just as Sobyanin was lobbying for a delayed sentence, Belkovsky said. The courts are widely considered to be at Putin's disposal.
"They won the approval for two alternative decisions, so they ended up with that compromise: Navalny gets his five-year sentence but walks free until the election," Belkovsky said.
He likened the confusion to the political infighting that engulfed the Kremlin in the waning years of the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev.
"The government looks increasingly unbalanced," he said. "The system is destabilizing itself from within. Its prestige has suffered a heavy blow."
Gleb Pavlovsky, a one-time Kremlin political consultant, also attributed the about-face to Kremlin infighting.
"It's a war of groups pursuing different strategies," Pavlovsky was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency, adding that one group wants the mayoral election to be held "with the maximum legitimacy" while another one wants to keep Navalny in jail.
He said that Navalny has aptly used rifts in the Kremlin to raise his profile. "He stepped into the field where a fight is going on, and he's using it in his interests," Pavlovsky said.
Asked if Navalny could be pardoned, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in remarks carried by Russian news agencies that he would have to plead guilty first. He refused to comment on the verdict and Navalny's release from custody.
Outside court, Navalny was greeted by his supporters, with one of them offering him blini — Russian pancakes — a sarcastic play on the name of the judge who sentenced him, Sergei Blinov.
The unsanctioned protest in Moscow looked relatively small compared with the massive anti-Putin demonstrations that attracted more than 100,000 in fall 2011 and at the beginning of 2012. But unlike those protests, which were allowed by the authorities, Thursday's participants braved the threat of heavy fines and prison sentences.
The rally briefly blocked traffic on a busy Moscow street as demonstrators shouted, "This city is ours!" More than 200 people were briefly detained, and about a half of them are expected to face fines.
More than 50 people also were detained briefly in St. Petersburg, and smaller rallies were held in several other cities Thursday.
Navalny was found guilty of heading a group that embezzled 16 million rubles ($500,000) worth of timber from the state-owned company Kirovles in 2009.
The charges against Navalny date back to when he worked as an unpaid adviser to the provincial governor in Kirov, 760 kilometers (470 miles) east of Moscow.
The defense said co-defendant Pyotr Ofitserov's company bought the timber from Kirovles for 14 million rubles and sold it for 16 million rubles in a regular commercial deal. Navalny's lawyers presented invoices proving the transactions.
Sentencing Navalny was the latest move in a multipronged crackdown on dissent that followed Putin's inauguration, including arrests of opposition activists and repressive legislation that sharply increased fines for participants in unsanctioned protests and imposed tough restrictions on nongovernment organizations.
Isachenkov reported from Moscow. Associated Press writer Jim Heintz contributed to this report.

The sticky hot air steamed up the car. My dad and I were heading to my grandma's big vacant farm, and my dad insisted that we kept the windows down. Bridgeton, NJ is a big spread out town that was totally confusing. It was a wonder anybody got around, but they did. Speaking of getting around, my dad pulled into a barely visible driveway.
I hopped out of the car, and tried to shrug off that ery feeling that someone was there. I skipped to the door and jumped to a stop. The door was not locked up tight. The door was not even whole. The glass window on the door was far from repair. The window shards littered the floor. Things were missing from the wall. The unconscious fear now made itself known. What if they are still here my panicked thoughts rang through my head. What if they are waiting here, waiting to make its escape? My dad must have sensed my fear, because he assured me that theses people were long gone.
My dad still wanted to check out around the house. He could not find his weed whacker, whatever that is. No one to jump to conclusions, he kept denying that it was stolen. Without anything left to do, the weed-whacker was apparently why we came, we headed home. I called my grandma to tell her the disappointing news. She was upset, but told me it wasn't the first time.
My dad said I could do the honors of telling my mom. I couldn't wait to get home and tell my mom of our day's adventures.

Clayton News Daily
By Daniel Silliman
firstname.lastname@example.com At an intersection of hallways, in a field of cubicles, a man unfolds a black and white map. Next to him, a man in a short-sleeve shirt pokes his finger at the unfolded paper. "What are you doing about the bridge?" he says. Inside a cubicle, down the hall, a detailed drawing of a proposed airport terminal is pinned to the inside wall, above a clean desk. Across from the cubicle, a large, green and brown photograph of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport hangs on the wall. The Hartsfield-Jackson Program and Development Bureau, on Airport Loop Road, is posted just outside the Atlanta airport, stationed between the earthen wall surrounding the runways, and the interstate. Inside the 55,000-square-foot building, the future designs of the airport are being drawn out. The building, constructed in 2001, houses the 106 planners and engineers, and the ever-fluctuating number of consultants, who are designing the future look of Hartsfield. In a room called "Airbus," men -- all of them are men -- are working on the designs for the new, international terminal. In the hallway, the two men looking at the map are working on the automated people mover, running from the airport to the consolidated rental car facilities. All over the building, people are working on the details of the $6 billion capital-improvement project. "When you're talking about a $6 billion development, there's a lot of stuff that has to get done," said Matt Davis, an engineer at Programs and Development. "To keep everything moving takes a lot of people." Though the physical airport isn't visible from the "Tech Campus," representations of the airport -- in its present and future forms -- are scattered throughout the building. In the entryway, there are miniature models of the automated people mover, the rental car facilities, a multi-story parking lot and a series of runways. The building is the centralized location for the project development of the busiest airport in the world, and a group of designers whose design for a fifth runway became reality last year, and who recently triumphed with the new, end-around taxiway. "Planning," said Davis, motioning to the left side of the building and explaining the department, "sets a lot of the framework for what's needed, and then, designing comes up with the schematic ideas of how that can be accomplished." The building also sees a lot of smaller, less glamorous projects, including, recently, the design for dog kennels for the security K-9s, an expansion of the waste facility, disposing of airport waste, and a fire station. "There's a lot of little projects," Davis said. "The list is endless."More like this story

Ask TOH users about Yard & Garden
Lawn Bald-Spot Cure
Q: We can't get grass to grow in the space between the house and the flower bed around our dwarf Japanese Maple. Is the area just too narrow for grass, or has something else been causing the problem?
— Ed and Sandy Pasko, Torrington, Conn.
A: Roger Cook replies: Grass doesn't mind narrow areas—as anyone who's weeded out the joints in a brick walkway can tell you. From looking at your photos, I'd say you have bigger problems with compacted soil from too much foot traffic and too much shade from your maple. Loosening the soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches with a D handled garden folk will eliminate the compaction temporarily. Pruning might allow more sunlight to reach the ground. But my recommendation for small, struggling areas of lawn is to eliminate them. First rototill the area to get rid of the grass—but not deeply enough to damage the tree roots—and put in stepping stones to take care of the traffic. Then plant shade-loving groundcover such as epimedium or vinca. -

September 10, 2008, (Michael Learmonth) — Vibrant Media, purveyor of in-text advertising, is trying a new product that might make the whole concept seem a little less evil.
Vibrant ads are the double-underlined hyperlinks that have become ubiquitous over the past few years. They open into a small window when passed over by a cursor; the advertiser pays when an ad is clicked. Many readers find them annoying, and they've been been controversial at some publications. But with click rates between 3% and 10%, they're effective.
Now Vibrant is testing an editorial version called "Vibrant Related Content." These will look like a normal hyperlinks with a single underline, but they'll open a window of related links, images or video pulled from elsewhere on the site. The window will also contain ads, either pre-roll video or display, sold on a cost-per-thousand-impressions basis, so advertisers pay based the number of ad views, not clicks. Readers will be alerted that it's not a normal hyperlink from a small magnifying glass, indicating the presence of more content.
Vibrant is selling the concept to publishers as a way to increase clicks by visitors by helping them to information they might not have otherwise found. The danger, of course, is that the links aren't wanted or useful and it just feels to the user like more spam. So far, 50 sites are experimenting with the service, including NBC U's iVillage and Gannett's Detroit Free Press, which are using it to direct users to related articles.
It's potentially a new line of business for Vibrant, whose CEO Doug Stevenson says the company will sell $80 million in-text ads across 3,500 Web sites in 2008. The company lost a recent high-profile hire, Sean Finnegan, to Starcom MediaVest, but Stevenson says Finnegan will remain on Vibrant's board.

Chennai: Even as the Indian and South African teams go through the grind in Chennai to get their batting and bowling form right, there is something else they will have to watch out for. With the ICC watching over their shoulders, the sledgers in both camps better beware.
"Myself and Harbhajan will put on boxing gloves and have a go at each other," joked South African vice-captain Mark Boucher.
Boucher will have to come prepared, as Harbhajan of course has been getting a bit of practice at just this skill in recent times. But the game's bosses have laid down the law, and the players are okay to fall in line.
NOT BACKING DOWN: Boucher insists that sledging will never go away from the game.
"You never overstep the mark. And if you do overstep the mark, I think the ICC's match referees are looking for someone to make an example of it, especially with all the hype coming from the India-Australia series," Boucher adds on the sidelines of the first Test which begins on Wednesday.
The Proteas of course are pretty good at the art. Their best sledger (Andre Nel) may be cooling his heels at home, but Boucher leads a pretty vocal group from behind the stumps.
"As for sledging, I don't think it's ever going to leave the game. When you have got two very competitive sides fighting out for their country, it's always going to be there," Boucher says.
For all the talk outside the pitch, remember, the real battle will be between bat and ball on the field. Unlike the high-voltage series in Australia, this India-South Africa series promises to be much more fun, more entertaining, and slightly calmer, like the relatively calm waters of the Bay of Bengal.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was a compromise between Southern and Northern states reached during the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 in which three-fifths of the enumerated population of slaves would be counted for representation purposes regarding both the distribution of taxes and the apportionment of the members of the United States House of Representatives. It was proposed by delegates James Wilson and Roger Sherman.
Delegates opposed to slavery generally wished to count only the free inhabitants of each state. Delegates supportive of slavery, on the other hand, generally wanted to count slaves in their actual numbers. Since slaves could not vote, slaveholders would thus have the benefit of increased representation in the House and the Electoral College. The final compromise of counting "all other persons" as only three-fifths of their actual numbers reduced the power of the slave states relative to the original southern proposals, but increased it over the northern position.
The Three-Fifths Compromise is found in Article 1, Section 2, Paragraph 3 of the United States Constitution:
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.
Contents |
The three-fifths ratio was not a new concept. It originated with a 1783 amendment proposed to the Articles of Confederation. The amendment was to have changed the basis for determining the wealth of each state, and hence its tax obligations, from real estate to population, as a measure of ability to produce wealth. The proposal by a committee of the Congress had suggested that taxes "shall be supplied by the several colonies in proportion to the number of inhabitants of every age, sex, and quality, except Indians not paying taxes."[1][2] The South immediately objected to this formula since it would include slaves, who were viewed primarily as property, in calculating the amount of taxes to be paid. As Thomas Jefferson wrote in his notes on the debates, the southern states would be taxed "according to their numbers and their wealth conjunctly, while the northern would be taxed on numbers only."[3]
After proposed compromises of 1⁄2 by Benjamin Harrison of Virginia and 3⁄4 by several New Englanders failed to gain sufficient support, Congress finally settled on the 3⁄5 ratio proposed by James Madison.[4] But this amendment ultimately failed, falling two states short of the unanimous approval required for amending the Articles of Confederation (only New Hampshire and New York were opposed).
The proposed ratio was, however, a ready solution to the impasse that arose during the Constitutional Convention. In that situation, the alignment of the contending forces was the reverse of what had obtained under the Articles of Confederation. In amending the Articles, the North wanted slaves to count for more than the South did, because the objective was to determine taxes paid by the states to the federal government. In the Constitutional Convention, the more important issue was representation in Congress, so the South wanted slaves to count for more than the North did.[citation needed]
"Much has been said of the impropriety of representing men who have no will of their own. ...They are men, though degraded to the condition of slavery. They are persons known to the municipal laws of the states which they inhabit, as well as to the laws of nature. But representation and taxation go together. ...Would it be just to impose a singular burden, without conferring some adequate advantage?" - Alexander Hamilton [5][6]
The three-fifths ratio, or "Federal ratio", had a major effect on pre-Civil War political affairs due to the disproportionate representation of slaveholding states relative to voters. For example, in 1793 slave states would have been apportioned 33 seats in the House of Representatives had the seats been assigned based on the free population; instead they were apportioned 47. In 1812, slaveholding states had 76 instead of the 59 they would have had; in 1833, 98 instead of 73. As a result, southerners dominated the Presidency, the Speakership of the House, and the Supreme Court in the period prior to the Civil War.[7]
Historian Garry Wills has postulated that without the additional slave state votes, Jefferson would have lost the presidential election of 1800. Also, "...slavery would have been excluded from Missouri...Jackson's Indian removal policy would have failed...the Wilmot Proviso would have banned slavery in territories won from Mexico....the Kansas-Nebraska bill would have failed...."[7] However, other historians have criticized Wills' analysis as simplistic.[8] For example, while the Three-Fifths Compromise could be seen to favor Southern states (which generally had larger slave populations), the Connecticut compromise tended to favor the Northern states (which were generally smaller). Support for the new Constitution rested on the balance of these sectional interests.[9]
Following the Civil War and the abolition of slavery by the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (1865), the three-fifths clause was rendered moot. Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (1868) later superseded Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3. It specifically states that "Representatives shall be apportioned ...counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed..."
According to a PBS article, the Three-Fifths Compromise is sometimes erroneously said to mean the founders believed blacks were only partial human beings (i.e. three-fifths of a person). The article also states the compromise had no relation to the individual worth of the black slave.[10]

Be Amazing and Find Your Innermost Voice.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
I remember once, some many years ago when my son was first attending day care. He was having a most difficult time adjusting to this, his newest transition. At just 3 years-old, I believe he was doing quite well—even in spite of all of those tears.
One day, just as I was readying to walk out the door—my little boy began to have a mini-meltdown. And, of course, my instinct as a Mother was to scoop him right up into my arms.
But, his caregiver at the time, the sweetest, most gentlest and charming southern soul—grabbed my arm, and holding it fast…and in order to tell me, "no."
"Find your voice baby," she leaned down and whispered softly to my son.
And in just that moment, he drew in a deep breath and sniffled out his reply, "I want…to go…home."
I was so very proud of him that day.
Your life is now, my dears—seize it, and make it most amazing.
And never, ever be afraid to be true to that which is your innermost voice.

Peace Corps Volunteer Kristen Ritter returned from Bulgaria with a bit of sadness but greater confidence
As for Bulgarian life and culture, Ritter said there are differences between America and Bulgaria, which was under communist control until the late 1980s. My family was over there and they said it"s just like America used to be in the 1940s. It"s kind of an old-fashioned country. They"re very focused on family. Everybody cans everything for the winter. They have Soviet-era cars because during communism every family got a car, so everyone still has one of those. They just joined the European Union in 2007, so that was supposed to help bring them up to date, but what happened when they joined the European Union is all the prices went up so much that it was harder for people to afford things. Over time, that will get better since they are part of the European Union. Right now it just makes it hard because European Union citizens come to Bulgaria by land and buy everything that Bulgarians can"t afford."
Peace Corps Volunteer Kristen Ritter returned from Bulgaria with a bit of sadness but greater confidence
Grand Ridge woman shares her Peace Corps experiences
07/07/2009, 8:06 am
Jerrilyn Zavada, email@example.com, 815-433-2000

Kristen Ritter returned from Bulgaria with a bit of sadness but greater confidence.
The 25-year old Grand Ridge woman had been in the Peace Corps since August 2006.
She was in her senior year at Aurora University and hadn't decided what to pursue after graduating. Her international business professor encouraged her to join the humanitarian organization.
"It was along the lines of the work that I wanted to do, and I could still travel and work internationally," Ritter told the Times.
She says her goal was to work with human rights or international development.
"They have a lot of organizations like KIVA that give out small loans to business people in developing countries and that"s along the lines of what I wanted to do," she said.
While Ritter was excited about this new venture in her life, her family and friends were hesitant.
"They were excited but nervous for me. I think a lot of my friends and my family were like �Are you sure that"s what you really want to do?"" Ritter said. "I could pick up tomorrow and go to Bulgaria and it would be like a second home. I felt comfortable the whole way," she concluded.
Once Ritter arrived in Bulgaria, she stayed with 40 other American volunteers in a hotel for five days. Then it was time for her host family to pick her up for her stay with them. She had two host parents and two host brothers.
"When they picked me up it was my host dad and one of his friends and I didn"t know any of the language so I could say �Hello," �My name is," �I"m from," simple things that my host family already knew about me," she said. "And they were just sitting in front talking and talking, and they didn"t know any English at all, and I was just riding along thinking �What have I gotten myself into?" And then when we got to my host family�s house, one of my host brothers could speak a little bit of English so he came out and spoke a few broken sentences."
Ritter underwent three months' training in the country"s language. She attended school from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day with an afternoon project with five other Americans living in the same town. As part of the training, volunteers also did community programs to get them used to the idea of the work they would do once they were alone.
"The first three months was really mentally exhausting," she continued. "It was neat going back to visit my host family after I"d been there for a couple of years because then I could actually talk to them about politics, life in America, life in Bulgaria, things of substance."
Once Ritter completed her training, she moved into her own apartment about two hours south of her host family to a town about the size of Streator. Once Peace Corps volunteers are trained, they no longer have daily contact with Peace Corps, but work for a Bulgarian organization and do whatever is needed. Ritter worked as a youth development volunteer in a nongovernment organization from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Some of her responsibilities were organizing trainings such as team building, project design and management and project sustainability.
She also volunteered in junior high and high schools in the mornings from 8 to 11 and adult English classes at night. She discovered the Bulgarian National Population and the Roma (the derogatory name for Roma would be gypsies) coexisted in schools without the Roma being engaged in the classroom and Roma kids were not given the same opportunities the Bulgarian National Population were given.
While Ritter enjoyed the people she worked for and with, there were hurdles she faced in the difference in attitudes between Americans and Bulgarians.
"Americans kind of have this view that if you can imagine it you can make things happen and Bulgarians aren"t like that at all," Ritter said. "They"ll have an idea and at least 90 percent of them will say, �That"ll never work, won"t happen, don"t even try." So trying to get past that with them was a big hurdle in the beginning."
She says she worked with youths who had some exposure to American television and had seen more of the American attitude that anything is possible. As for older Bulgarians, after being there for a year or so and letting them see the projects that did happen worked well, they changed their thinking as well.
As for Bulgarian life and culture, Ritter said there are differences between America and Bulgaria, which was under communist control until the late 1980s.
"My family was over there and they said it"s just like America used to be in the 1940s. It"s kind of an old-fashioned country. They"re very focused on family. Everybody cans everything for the winter. They have Soviet-era cars because during communism every family got a car, so everyone still has one of those. They just joined the European Union in 2007, so that was supposed to help bring them up to date, but what happened when they joined the European Union is all the prices went up so much that it was harder for people to afford things. Over time, that will get better since they are part of the European Union. Right now it just makes it hard because European Union citizens come to Bulgaria by land and buy everything that Bulgarians can"t afford."
Ritter said it was difficult adjusting to how Bulgarians handle paying utility and other bills that Americans can just pay over the Internet.
"If you have an issue with your Internet it could take you two minutes, it could take you 20 minutes, you never know. I didn"t have a water bill for a year and a half and I would go every month and say "OK, what do I owe for water?" and they would look it up on the computer screen and say "nothing" and I would say "That"s impossible. It"s been a year and a half. I owe something." Just figuring out those little things was probably the hardest part.
Ritter said in her experience, Bulgaria seemed safer than America, in that there was a low crime rate. Young Bulgarians are allowed more freedom than young Americans.
"Bulgaria is about the size of Tennessee, and I lived on the inland part of the country. The Black Sea was on the opposite side of the country and it was about 10 hours by train and high school kids could just take off and go there for the weekend."
Ritter remembers fondly learning the Horo, a Bulgarian traditional group line dance that is done in any Bulgarian restaurant at 9 or 10 at night. She also would invite her students over to her apartment and have themed food nights centered around various foods Americans eat, such as Southern, Chinese or Mexican.
Her saddest memory is leaving her host family and friends she made.
"You don"t know if you"re going to see them again, and they can only speak Bulgarian, so if I lose my language I can"t write to them anymore, I can"t call them on the phone. Then, my best friend Julia drives me down to the bus station and my kids are standing out there waiting to say goodbye, so probably that was the saddest, having to leave."
Ritter says the biggest lesson she learned was how similar people are all over the world.
"I have friends in many different countries now, and my friend Julia is one of my best friends and I still talk to her every week," Ritter said.
Once she got back to the U.S., she applied some of the lessons she learned during her time in Peace Corps in substitute teaching at various Streator schools by teaching her students how to write their names in Bulgarian and what youths their age do there.
Meanwhile, Ritter"s plans will build off the experiences she gained in the Peace Corps. She says she would like to do grant auditing for the government and is looking into working for U.S. Aid in Washington D.C.
"I think after Peace Corps that I"m less scared to go out into the world. If there"s something I want to do, I feel pretty confident that I can achieve it," she concluded.

News From Silicon Valley's Neighborhoods
Los Gatos--The future looks bleak for the California Department of Forestry's Alma fire station and the mountain and valley residents it serves. Negotiations between the state and property owners have been extremely slow, and no one involved is predicting a successful resolution.
The station, which loses its lease in April 2001, houses the area's only helicopter fire fighting unit, which has played a role in nearly every mountain fire in the last decade. It also holds an engine unit, which uses the station's Old Santa Cruz Highway location, bypassing Highway 17 traffic on the way into the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The Oregon-based land owners, the McDougal Brothers, are in the process of selling off portions of the 14.5-acre property surrounding the station as building sites for luxury homes. Arlie Land and Cattle Company, which sold the property to the McDougal Brothers more than a year ago, still holds a partial interest in the land.
Hopes had risen slightly with Assemblyman Jim Cunneen's successful drive to include an extra $500,000 in this year's state budget for the fire station acquisition. Gov. Gray Davis signed the budget several weeks ago, approving the $500,000, in addition to the $900,000 already earmarked for the station's purchase.
But even with extra money, the state's offering price is still a long way from the price the McDougal Brothers are reportedly seeking for the four-acre property. Kurt Carlin, a CDF property acquisition manager, said the negotiations were in the state's hands, and all CDF could do was prepare for the worst.
"We are pursuing contingency plans," Carlin said. "We have pretty much studied the thing to death to see if there were any alternative sites for the operation within our response time and [the state department of general services] could not find a spot." He added that CDF had even considered splitting the station's operations and finding two smaller sites, one for the helicopter unit and one for the fire engine team.
Larry Gildea, attorney for the McDougal Brothers, would not discuss the negotiations, but he did say that the $3.2 million figure that has been bantered about is much higher than the asking price.
"We agreed to negotiate with the state and that's what we're doing," Gildea said. "The state is in the process of reviewing our appraisal and I haven't heard back from them."
If negotiations do fail, Gildea would not speculate on what the McDougal Brothers would do with the land; however he said zoning prohibits the station property from being subdivided. He was also unaware of whether the land owners would have to disclose the area's high fire risk and possible lack of fire protection for potential buyers.
The state is currently reviewing the McDougal Brothers' appraisal. If substantial evidence in it suggests the state's own appraisal was too low, the state can adjust its appraisal. If not, the original appraisal stands as a "take it or leave it" offer to the brothers.
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) has also become involved in the efforts to save the station. General Manager Craig Britton has also expressed doubts about the chances of a deal being struck. MROSD is interested in a number of adjoining parcels that front Lexington Reservoir. Britton said the district is working with the state to purchase 14.5 acres held by Arlie and the McDougal Brothers, including the fire station, but he said his impression was that negotiations were "failing."
"From our standpoint, it's really all or nothing," Britton said. "We don't only want the other parcels; the fire station is very important, as well." The district was still negotiating with the McDougal Brothers through the first week of July.
Carlin said that even if a compromise can be reached, whether or not the money budgeted will truly be available remains to be seen. If the property's state-assessed value is below the settlement price--an extremely likely scenario--the state cannot release the funds.
CDF has spent four years trying to buy the property, Carlin said, and continues to run into this same problem. "We're always behind," he said. "Our 'fair market value' never seems to equate to what the asking price is."
Another option for the state would be to begin condemnation proceedings on the property to buy the land through eminent domain. This would throw the purchase into the state Attorney General's hands, and he would have the power to negotiate above the assessed value or simply buy the land at the assessed price. However, the state has shown no desire to go that route.
Irene Anderson, property acquisition manager for the state's department of general services, said eminent domain was a method the state would use only if no other site could be found.
"We always pay market value," Anderson said. "If the owner wants to sell at market value, he can."
Gildea said the McDougal Brothers were not overly concerned about the possibility the state would use eminent domain. "As far as we're concerned, if they opt to do it, so be it," he said. "We'd prefer it not to go that way, but it's not a big concern."
Carlin said that, assuming negotiations fail and the state does not exercise eminent domain, wherever the station would move would have an effect on response times. "I don't believe we'll have either the coverage or the response time," Carlin said.
Santa Clara Ranger Unit operations chief Dave Ault said that moving the station would have a larger effect on the ground response time than air response time. "[Relocating the engine unit] is a tougher decision than the helicopter," Ault said, "because [the helicopter] doesn't have to contend with traffic." Ten miles for a helicopter takes only a few minutes when flying at 160 to 170 miles per hour--10 miles on the valley's congested roadways can take a lot longer.
Ault said that while no alternative site had been located, a number of possibilities have been brought forward. Among them are county and city parks, as well as privately owned properties. Ault said one mountain resident had recently informed him of several hundred acres of vacant county-owned land off Bear Creek Road. That site, as well as the other possibilities, will be evaluated from a strategic response time and sustainability viewpoint. Wherever the station ends up, Ault said CDF would have to find a temporary base while a new station is constructed.
The helicopter's response range is vast, covering Interstate 5 down to Pacheco Pass, over to Santa Cruz, up to San Mateo county, and extending all the way into Contra Costa county.
Ault said he was still hoping an agreement could be reached while simultaneously preparing for the worst. "The pessimism is really coming from the fact that the state DGS and the current landowner can't come to an agreement," he said. "And we can't do anything about it."

DANGER not forseen. One of the hazards lifting and carrying something big and clumsy is not so much that it may be dropped but that one of the people might trip while carry the item. Think about tripping while your arms are trapped by the straps. Your arms(bones) may snap while your face smashes into the item. Don't use these straps!

You are in a loop, so $dnaString is being added to everytime the line doesn't match your start pattern. $dnaString is always one step behind @seqList so when you come to the next start line, it pushes the previous $dnaString onto @sequences, then clears it for the next iteration. Best thing to do is try it: set $count = 1 and see what happens.
