Discover the essential transformative practices, tools and teachings to fully awaken your spiritual potential and live as the full expression of who you are, amidst the pressures and challenges of "real life."
If you've had a taste of awakening, you know in your heart the kind of life that is possible – that is waiting for you – when you finally break the hypnotic trance of the ego, with its endless projections and fears, and start living every day rooted in the expansive freedom, presence and truth of your authentic self.
Yet, no matter how many times you may have tasted the bliss of awakening, the greatest spiritual challenge of our times is to integrate and sustain this enlightened awareness beyond the meditation cushion and yoga mat and into the trenches of your "real life."
It's easy to see how the ever-increasing pace and stress of modern life pulls you off your center and back into the conditioned and often neurotic, ego mind.
But what many people don't realize is that there is an even bigger obstacle to living an authentically awakened life in the 21st century.
You see, most of us have been "duped," so to speak, into believing that spiritual practices that were designed for life in a monastery, thousands of years ago, are still effective to fully awaken us in our postmodern, consumer culture, technology-driven world.
Clearly, they are not.
If these ancient traditions and practices were truly sufficient, where are all of the awakened beings that these traditions have produced?
Consider this deeply and it will become abundantly clear.
Sure, these ancient practices will help you to relax and give you a greater sense of peace and centeredness. But if you actually want to awaken to the full expression of who you really are, they will leave you wanting, or worse, satiated just enough to be complacent.
Now, we certainly don't mean to "throw out the baby with the bathwater" and say that these millennia-old traditions and practices don't have tremendous value, because they obviously do.
We are standing on the shoulders of giants, after all, and each tradition and practice has been an invaluable evolutionary stepping stone to get us where we are today.
But what we are saying – and this may sound somewhat controversial – is that these ancient practices alone are not sufficient to liberate your full potential while you are still immersed in the consumer-driven "marketplace" of our modern world.
If the above statement is in fact true, then the question remains...
What are the most effective practices and techniques to live an authentically awakened life in the 21st century?
Experience the transmission of a deeply awakened spiritual teacher and the support of a conscious community of sincere practitioners to bring
forth the best of who you are and raise
the consciousness of our world.
One of the leading spiritual luminaries that's bringing new light to this important issue is the internationally renowned mystic and spiritual teacher, Thomas Huebl.
If you have heard Thomas speak you'll know what we're referring to, and if you don't know Thomas yet then you're in for a real treat.
Thomas is one of the fastest rising stars in modern spirituality, among both sincere practitioners and thought leaders alike.
His down-to-earth approach to a living, holistic spirituality combined with his uncompromising clarity and relentless commitment to help others fully awaken makes Thomas one of the most unique and engaging teachers of our time.
Beyond Thomas' teachings and powerful approach to spiritual transformation in everyday life, he exudes a clarity of presence and transmission in his teachings that is a rare treasure to experience and behold.
Thomas' intuitive style of teaching and working with others cuts like a laser light to the essence of the matter.
What You'll Discover in These 9 Weeks
Course sessions are on Wednesdays at 12:00pm Pacific (except March 25 at 1pm US Pacific) .

Optional Small Group Practice Sessions
Practicing Authentic Awakening in small groups is one of Thomas' four foundational pillars so we will give you the option to connect with others and set up regular times for meeting to engage the practices. This small group time is vital to truly integrate the awakening shifts that you will undergo and our staff will help you to find and establish triads, ideally near to you geographically. While not mandatory, your practice will be assisted and advanced with this additional bonus feature, empowering you to come out with more enduring and stable shifts in your awareness.
Plus Powerful Mentoring Support
Additionally, Thomas will have his most advanced students play an active role in this course. While there can be a tendency to focus just on the singular spiritual teacher, this aspect of engagement with other advanced practitioners is particularly helpful in integrating and embodying the shifts, often clarifying distinctions and helping you to work through places of challenge on your path with more support.
Not only will you have the regularly scheduled calls with Thomas, you'll also be able to attend additional smaller group coaching calls with Thomas' senior students
The purpose of these group calls is to give you the opportunity to engage more actively and intensively in the work in a more intimate container with the support of one of Thomas' senior students. The smaller groups will provide a place for each participant to share experiences and insights, ask questions, and explore more deeply the impact the content of the course and the teachings from Thomas may be having on your life. We believe these groups will provide an important support and holding for the powerful and inspiring material coming through the teachings.
The Authentic Awakening Bonus Collection
In addition to Thomas Huebl's robust 9-week training you'll also receive these powerful training sessions with the world's leading visionaries and teachers. These bonus sessions are being offered to further complement what you'll learn in the course and take your understanding and practice to an even deeper level.
Shadow Aspects of the Awakening Process
Audio dialogue with Thomas Huebl, Tami Simon, Sally Kempton and Stephen Dinan
Awakening is often depicted as an opening to the love and light within us but the truth is that real awakening is an embrace of ALL of who we are. In this pioneering dialogue, Stephen Dinan (CEO of The Shift Network) will host as Thomas is joined by Sally Kempton (one of today's most respected respected spiritual teachers) and Tami Simon (CEO of Sounds True), for an exploration of the shadow dimensions of awakening: what we need to see in ourselves, the process of shadow integration, and observing the shadow in our search for enlightenment. This is bound to be a thought-provoking dialogue that helps you avoid many pitfalls on the path.
Sally Kempton has been practicing and teaching meditation and spiritual philosophy for nearly 40 years. A long-time disciple of spiritual master Swami Muktananda, she served as a swami, or monk in a Vedic tradition for 20 years. A member of the faculty at Kripalu and at Esalen, she regularly teaches retreats and workshops around the country, and appears at conferences. She is the author of two books, Meditation for the Love of It, and Awakening Shakti: The Transformative Power of the Goddesses of Yoga, as well as several audio programs on meditation, Shakti, and non-dual contemplations, published through Sounds True. She writes a regular column, "Wisdom," for Yoga Journal about how to apply yogic principles to daily life, and a bi-weekly column for Patheos.com.
Tami Simon is the founder and publisher of Sounds True, an independent multimedia company dedicated to disseminating spiritual wisdom. Tami began studying with Reggie Ray in 2001 and began teaching "Meditating with the Body" introductory workshops in 2007. Her areas of special interest include authentic leadership and applying spiritual principles to organizational life.
Stephen Dinan is the CEO of The Shift Network and a member of the prestigious Transformational Leadership Council and Evolutionary Leaders groups. As the former Director of Membership and Marketing at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, he was the driving force behind the Shift in Action program, which grew to 10,000 paying members.

Integral Awakening: A Holistic Vision for Your Spiritual Awakening in the Modern World
Audio session with Ken Wilber
In this hour-long dialogue, Thomas is joined by world-renowned integral philosopher Ken Wilber to explore the challenges and opportunity to fully awaken in the 21st century.
These two renowned evolutionary thought leaders and mystics will provide a unique and in-depth perspective on our spiritual evolution, drawing on their own extensive experiences and teaching. This intimate conversation between two of the world's great living spiritual teachers is a rare opportunity and is certain to be a profound and transformative experience for all!
Ken Wilber is the most widely translated academic writer in America, with 25 books, translated into some 30 foreign languages. Ken is an internationally acknowledged leader and the preeminent scholar of the Integral stage of human development and is widely regarded as the "Einstein of consciousness."
Authentic Awakening of the Feminine: How Western Women Can Heal and Enlighten Our World
Audio Session with Diane Musho Hamilton
In this illuminating 60-minute session, Thomas and Diane explore the deeper meaning of the Dalai Lama's proclamation that "the world will be saved by the western woman" and how this prophecy may unfold in the years ahead.
Diane also shares about her unique spiritual journey as an ordained Zen Buddhist monk, a traditionally masculine path, and explore the benefits and limitations of the ancient practices as well as the challenges facing monastic traditions in the post-modern world. If you're a western woman on the spiritual path or in relationship with one (whether romantic or platonic), you'll benefit greatly from the wisdom and inspiration of this rare dialogue.
Diane Musho Hamilton is an exceptionally gifted mediator, group facilitator, and one of the authentic contemporary spiritual teachers of our time. Combining decades of innovation in conflict resolution with an enthusiasm for life, she knows how to address the challenges of our modern experience with an uncommon spiritual perspective. With extraordinary warmth, depth and insight, she encourages us to consciously evolve beyond old and limited ideas of who we are so that we might discover our own unique expression of wisdom and of compassion in this time.
The Esoteric Anatomy of the Heart
Audio Dialogue with Thomas and Terry Patten
In this special session, Thomas talks with Terry Patten about the function of the heart in our subtle anatomy, and the nature of the intelligence of the heart in the awakening of higher consciousness. What is the healthy and unhealthy relationship of the head and the heart? How do they relate to the base and to the intuitive centers in and above the head? How does the intelligence of the heart help you navigate the many challenges of our unique time in history?
Terry Patten co-developed Integral Life Practice with Ken Wilber and a core team at Integral Institute. He hosts the acclaimed online teleseminar series Beyond Awakening: The Future of Spiritual Practice where he has engaged leading-edge conversations about cultural transformation with dozens of the best-known thinkers and spiritual teachers of our time. He speaks and consults internationally – inspiring, challenging, and connecting leaders and institutions worldwide. Terry has worked for over three decades as a philosopher, activist, coach, and teacher. He was the senior writer and co-author, with Ken Wilber, of Integral Life Practice: A 21st-Century Blueprint for Physical Health, Emotional Balance, Mental Clarity, and Spiritual Awakening.
What People Are Saying About Thomas Huebl...
Thomas Huebl is an exceptional teacher, integrally well-grounded and communicatively gifted. His Authentic Awakening [teaching] is just that – an authentic transmission of the awakened mind. Highly recommended!
– Ken Wilber, Integral Philosopher and Author
Thomas Huebl is an extraordinary, mesmerizing teacher. There is a mysterious soul connection he makes with his students that empowers and reveals profound truth. I love the way he helps us come from the future as we deal with the present. It's just the way I think too. I admire him greatly.
– Barbara Marx Hubbard, Renowned Futurist, Author and Speaker
Thomas Huebl is a master teacher of interactive awakening. His gift for leading people into awakened communal space is a major contribution to the contemporary spiritual world.
– Sally Kempton, Spiritual Teacher and Author
Thomas is the "real deal." I feel like I am in Divine Presence when I am with Thomas. Further, he invites us to develop our skill and senses to go deeper into We space. I love his sense of humor, the small group exercises and the deep work that Thomas leads and encourages in our small groups."
– Michael Ray
What a relief to come across a teacher who is fully holding the transcended space known as enlightenment and also working with people on the personal and interpersonal levels. He has an incredible gift for reading people's energetic fields and an ability to communicate effectively where the energy is blocked. The whole approach is that the energy field of the gathering is the "higher intelligence," so the focus of the meetings is not so much on his individual state. This is quite different from a lot of teachers I have met who like to present themselves as the main event rather than a facilitator in co-created field.
Thomas' approach opened the door for me to go back and start looking and dealing with areas of the personal development that were stuck, areas that I was not particularly conscious of. Since meeting him I have let go of my fixation with holding onto non-dual states and have become willing to go back and work on personal issues, as a result of this process deeper spaces seem to be continually opening. I am very grateful to have come across this work.
– Peter
I felt deeply seen by Thomas: my structure, my shadows and my potential. Under his guidance, I saw that all of it was OK, all of it acceptable, all of it a step towards more development, more integration, more contribution. His approach is direct, intense, yet he knows when to be gentle, patient, where there is a wound or when to respect that the best thing to do now is to stop. He speaks from what is present now. In the sangha he creates around him he teaches and makes us realize that we all have these abilities to deeply see others and open up to be seen. It takes commitment and practice, but that's why we're here. Tasting this deep level of connection with myself and with others was a revelation to me. That's the new humanity I want to be part of and co-create.
– Marielle
Thomas Hübl opens the gates of an amazing and powerful WE that is alive and that organically moves where it needs to move tapping with intensity in the Unknown. I feel at home. I deeply resonate with what Thomas is helping us to trust. I profoundly trust in the space he creates to make Creativity, God to express itself through me; with a knowing that I am in the right field where I merge with more of us in a shared commitment to keep evolving, expanding and to keep designing a more evolved, All New Universe. Thomas Hübl is Spirituality in High Definition.
– Yolanda Valencia
Thomas shows us what is possible in becoming more authentic, transparent, and how to relate with each other in ways that allow the shadows to be revealed and released. He is a true embodiment of our potential capacities and masterfully guides the group towards greater freedom and human potential. His ability to transmit deep wisdom and facilitate the group field with precision and clarity is truly remarkable. In 5 days many participants gained awareness of shadow material and began to transform in significant ways. The group field was open, playful, and supportive. I have been on the spiritual journey for many years and am a teacher and psychotherapist. I was inspired by Thomas and am grateful to have experienced his teaching.
– Eva
Thomas provides a clear, clean, entrance to exploring interpersonal space, deeply connecting, seeing, being seen, and approaching shadow, all in an integrated format. The container of the group is profoundly supportive and allows both personal and interpersonal openings and growth. I've also seen that this work keeps on growing months after the retreat for myself and others whom I've seen.
– Rebecca Stauffer

More Praise for Thomas Huebl...
The work of Thomas is like a missing link, bringing together the experience of mere being and yet having an explicit focus on evolution of mankind, consciousness also on a collective level, including all worldly aspects. It is a great pleasure for me to see people in his ongoing groups develop on a broad level, unfolding their potentials, taking responsibility beyond their personal realms and being a gift to the world.
– Viele Grübe Clara
Thomas gave me is a genuine curiosity to find out who I am and what can I be. He is a high tech spiritual teacher. His words are like a laser cutting the nonsense of my conditioning, they touched my heart in a gentle and embracing way. It feels good to be committed with my spiritual practices because now they are integrated in my day to day. I feel more grounded in myself, more relax in my spiritual path and I feel a deep gratitude because my spiritual flame is burning big time!
– Christina Madariaga
I've just recently been introduced to Thomas' work and have had the honor of participating in a circle devoted to Transparent Communication. I've been meditating for 40 years, studied integral philosophy for 20 years and been deeply studying Sri Aurobindo for the last ten and this work with transparency is the living vehicle for everything I've worked with. All the theories come alive in present time. Everything comes together, tangible, transmissible, applicable to life as it is. It is truly a stunningly simple and appropriate model.
– Kathryn Ehnebuske
Thomas' work gives the possibility to join the transpersonal competence, the integration with shadow work and developing potentials in the different possibilities of intelligence. The intensive practice with 'transparent communication' which works also intra-, inter- and transpersonal gives us an excellent tool to be more awake and present in our daily life and creativity expression. "There awakes a deep love and joy in my heart when I realize that God emit his sparks through more then me and you."
– Susanne Ahlendorf
I cannot imagine a more authentically transformative path than the mystical principles and teachings that I have learned with Thomas and have now begun to embody. The impact of this in my life and work has been and continues to be explosive. These are the teachings we need for ourselves and for our societies of today and tomorrow.
– Stephen Busby

In what could be the first such facility in the state, the civic body has agreed in principle to set up a dedicated centre at the KEM hospital to help survivors of sexual abuse.
Ashish Shelar, the Bharatiya Janata Party's Mumbai unit chief, said on Friday that municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte had given his nod to the proposal and that this would be submitted by the civic body and the police to the Centre soon.
Shelar, who is also member of the state legislative council, said Kunte had also approved the location of the centre, which will likely be funded from the Nirbhaya Fund.
The centre will focus on providing paramedical, legal and social facilities for women and children who have been subjected to sexual abuse.
The matter was discussed at a meeting attended by Kunte, Sadanand Date, joint commissioner of police, Manoj Kotak, leader of the BJP group in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), officials of the civic health department and representatives of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
"According to the economic survey published by the state government, the number of cases of child abduction and sexual assault has increased by 13 percent in the past two years. Similarly, cases of sexual assault on women have gone up by 16 percent. There is an urgent need to set up such a centre where the survivors get all the care necessary," Shelar said.
He explained that the BMC and the police would frame the standard operating procedure (SOP) for running the facility and ensure that there are adequate personnel like psychologists and health officers at the centre.
"Once this is done, the proposal will be forwarded to the Centre for approval. We should be ready with the proposal during the parliamentary session. Getting an approval should not be a problem as we have already spoken to prime minister Narendra Modi and Union women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi about this," the legislator said.
Nirbhaya Fund
A Rs1,000 crore corpus, under the name of Nirbhaya Fund, was set up to finance the cost of safety measures for women and assistance to survivors of sexual abuse, following the gang rape of a student in Delhi in 2012. During the Lok Sabha election campaign, Narendra Modi slammed the UPA government for not utilizing the fund and he promised to take immediate steps if elected to power.

In his disproportionate praise of the six-month agreement with Iran, Barack Obama said: "For the first time in nearly a decade, we have halted the progress of the Iranian nuclear program." But if the program, now several decades old, had really been "halted" shortly after U.S. forces invaded Iraq, we would not be desperately pursuing agreements to stop it now, as 10,000 or so centrifuges spin to enrich uranium.
If Denmark wanted to develop nuclear weapons, we would consider that nation daft but not dangerous. Iran's nuclear program is alarming because Iran's regime is opaque in its decision-making, frightening in its motives (measured by its rhetoric), and barbaric in its behavior. "Manes," writes Kenneth M. Pollack of the Brookings Institution, "from whose name the word manichean derives, was a Persian who conceived of the world as being divided into good and evil." But Pollack says suicidal tendencies are not among the irrationalities of Iranian leaders, who are not "insane millenarians."
In "Unthinkable: Iran, the Bomb, and American Strategy," Pollack argues that Iran's nuclear program has been, so far, more beneficial to the U.S. than to Iran. Because of the anxieties and sanctions the program has triggered, Iran is more isolated, weak, impoverished and internally divided than at any time since it became a U.S. adversary in 1979. And one possible -- Pollack thinks probable -- result of Iran acquiring a nuclear arsenal would be Saudi Arabia doing so. Pollack considers this perhaps "the most compelling reason" for Iran to stop just short of weaponization.
Writing well before the recent agreement, Pollack said that, given Iran's adamant refusal to give up all enrichment, it will retain at least a "breakout capability," the ability to dash to weaponization in months, even weeks. Hence the need to plan serious, aggressive containment.
In 2012, the Senate voted 90-1 for a nonbinding resolution "ruling out any policy that would rely on containment as an option in response to the Iranian nuclear threat." The implication was containment is tepid and passive. But it was not such during the 45 years the U.S. contained the Soviets. And containment can be more than mere deterrence of Iran, against which the U.S. has waged cyber warfare.
Sufficient deterrent
Were it not for Israel "repeatedly sounding the alarm," Pollack says, Iran "probably would have crossed the nuclear threshold long ago." But if a nuclear Iran is for Israel unthinkable because it is uncontainable, Israel's only self-reliant recourse, a nuclear attack on Iran's nuclear infrastructure, is unthinkable. And, Pollack thinks, unnecessary. The existence of Israel's nuclear arsenal is a sufficient deterrent: Iran's leadership is "aggressive, anti-American, anti-status quo, anti-Semitic, duplicitous, and murderous, but it is not irrational, and overall, it is not imprudent."
There will be no constitutional impropriety if Congress votes to impose even stiffer sanctions on Iran. The president has primary but not exclusive responsibility for foreign policy. It is time for a debate about the role of sanctions in a containment policy whose ultimate objective is regime change. For many decades before 1989, humanity was haunted by the possibility that bureaucracy and propaganda technologies could produce permanent tyrannies impervious to change. In "Nineteen Eighty-Four," George Orwell wrote, "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever." But since 1989, tyrannies seem more brittle. And Pollack believes "the basic ingredients of regime change exist in Iran," which "today is a land of labor protests and political demonstrations."
Pollack may be too sanguine when he says that, since the brutal smashing of the Green Revolution of June 2009, "the Islamic Republic has been delegitimized and is starting to hollow out." His fear is that even massive U.S. air strikes would only delay the danger that provoked them, and thus might "prove to be nothing more than a prelude to invasion, as they were in Iraq and almost were in Kosovo."
The logic of nuclear deterrence has not failed in the 64 years since the world acquired its second nuclear power. That does not guarantee certainty, but, says Pollack, "the small residual doubt cannot be allowed to be determinative." His basic point: "Our choices are awful, but choose we must." Containment is the least awful response to Iran's coming nuclear capability.

If the rising prices of vegetables are worrying you, blame it on the subdued monsoon in the city and state. And if the scanty rain situation persists, prices are expected to go through the roof. Some vegetables, it's possible, may even vanish from the market.
According to data prepared by the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) at the Vashi wholesale market, on Monday, onions were sold at Rs20 per kg as against Rs10 a month ago, while potato cost Rs18-20 per kg as against Rs10-15 last month. The price of cabbage, lady's finger, cauliflower and other vegetables too soared drastically in one month.
"In the retail market, no vegetable is available for less than Rs60 a kg. I am scared to shop for vegetables these days," said a housewife from Colaba, Vijaya Kharkar.
APMC Vashi director Ashok Walunj told dna, "If there isn't adequate rainfall, vegetable production in Nashik and other places will be badly hit and this will further fuel price rise. The central and state governments should fix minimum support price for all vegetables. This way farmers will not be deprived of a reasonable return on their investment. This will also benefit consumers."
"The solution to doing away with high prices is the elimination of middlemen. Vegetables should be directly sold to consumers by bypassing APMC, which is controlled by political elements out to exploit the situation," said Goregaon resident Manjiri Kulkarni.
The BJP-led central government recently imposed a minimum export price of $300 per tonne for onion. According to market watchers, this will help curb onion export and cool rising domestic prices.
On Monday, the Centre also decided to raise its import duty on sugar to 40% from 15%. This has added 50 paise to the price of sugar per kg — Rs31.50 in the wholesale market.
APMC director Sanjay Pingale said, "Supply of vegetables has dropped drastically. As a result, there is a steep rise in prices. Hopefully, the rains should come any day now and, with the arrival of the new crop, prices will ease."
Madhuri Rane, a resident of Wadala, told dna that retail prices are almost double than wholesale rates. "If the prices continue to soar like this, the day will come when we will have to stop eating vegetables.
Beside veggies, rates of other food items are also shooting up," she added.
A farmer from Nashik, Rajesh Patil, blamed the Modi government for imposing a cap on export of onion. He said during the Lok Sabha campaign BJP had promised good rates to farmers, but nothing has come of it.
"BJP is following anti-farmer policy. We will oppose it tooth and nail. If there is no rainfall, how are we going to water our crops? The rates depend on demand and supply. If there is less supply and more demand, prices will go up. The government should bring innovative policies that will help farmers as well as consumers," said Patil.

On This Page
For steps to enable logging in Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 and 2013, see 2260527
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2260527/ ).
IntroductionMicrosoft Office Outlook has a feature to log calendar transactions. Because of the Calendar logging feature, calendar transactions that are generated by client features, by user actions, by the object model, or by the MAPI Calendar Table are written to a log file. The log file contains information for the following items:
More information
This article describes the following information about the Calendar logging feature:
ConfigurationTo turn on the Calendar logging feature, follow these steps:
Additionally, you can use the Custom Installation Wizard (CIW), the Custom Maintenance Wizard (CMW), the Office Customization Tool (OCT), or a system policy to deploy the setting for the Calendar logging feature. The following registry data is applied when you use these methods to deploy the setting for the Calendar logging feature:
For a system policy:
For CIW or CMW:
Value: EnableLogging
Type: DWORD
Data: 0=disabled (default, if registry data does not exist); 1=enabled
For OCT:

Because of performance and security reasons, we do not recommended that you deploy the Calendar logging feature. You should only turn on the Calendar logging feature on an as-needed basis.
Log file creation (pre-Outlook 2007 SP2)When you start Outlook with the Calendar logging feature turned on, a log file is automatically created in the %temp% folder. By default, this is the \documents and settings\<username>\local settings\temp folder. The naming convention for the log file will use the following rules:

The Assassin (Badge of Honor, Book 5)by W. E. B. Griffin
Book 5, The Assassin A political assassin is ready to make his move. The police department's only clue is a single, perfectly-typed bomb threat. And worse yet, the police are not sure they can trust their own people. In a few short days, the corruption of one cop and the madness of an assassin could blow the whole city of Philadelphia sky high...
The Aviators (Brotherhood of War #8)by W. E. B. Griffin
It is 1964. The Vietnam War has begun to escalate, its new style of battle demanding new weapons and tactics, and men who can use them. Overnight, it seems, the United States Army must scramble to create its first-ever Air Assault Division, a force critical to its chances of success. The obstacles are staggering--untrained men, technical mishaps, interservice rivalries. But through sheer courage and dedication, these heroic fighters rise to the challenge. For they are America's bravest--facing the ultimate test. . . .

The Beretsby W. E. B. Griffin
They were the chosen ones -- and the ones who chose to be the best. Never before had the United States given so select a group of fighting men such punishing preparation. Now they were heading for their ultimate test of skill and nerve and sacrifice, in a war unlike any they or their country had ever fought before, in a land that most of America still knew nothing about -- Vietnam. . . "Griffin has captured the rhythms of army life and speech, its rewards and deprivations. . . Captivating. " -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Black Ops (Presidential Agent, Book 5)by W. E. B. Griffin
"The first disturbing report reaches Presidential Agent Charley Castillo as he sits down for Christmas Day dinner. The caller on the Virginia safe house's secure line confirms that an investigative reporter working for Castillo's European newspapers - and snooping after German and Russian thieves involved in the Iraqi Oil-for-Food scandal - has been brutally murdered in Marburg." "Next comes the call from the director of National Intelligence, who asks if Castillo knows anything about the Kuhls - an Austrian couple serving as Central Intelligence Agency deep-cover assets since World War II - who were just found dead in a Vienna park, strangled by stainless steel garrotes." "And within hours Castillo learns of two assassination attempts on Christmas Eve: U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Jack Britton and his wife in Philadelphia and Gendarmeria Nacional Comandante Liam Duffy and his wife and children in Buenos Aires. All narrowly escaped automatic weapons fire from assailants unknown - unknown except for the fact that the hits were professional." "As Castillo shares the news with his group of troubleshooters in the innocuously-named Office of Organizational Analysis - a menacing mix of military and former CIA, FBI, Secret Service and other agents - two conclusions are immediately reached." "One: These are no coincidences - this is payback. Two: Delta Force Lieutenant Colonel C.G. Castillo likely is the next target." "Operating the OOA under a Top Secret Presidential Finding and reporting only to the President of the United States, Castillo has made more than a few enemies, both foreign and domestic. Confiscating some sixty million illicit dollars and leaving a trail of dead bad guys top the list of reasons why." "Still, it's the question of "Who?" that has everyone watching their backs. South American drug lords angry that Castillo's helicopters destroyed their manufacturing plant during his clandestine rescue of a DEA agent?" "Muslim extremists wanting revenge for Castillo finding and stealing back the explosives-filled 727 aircraft that the terrorists were going to crash into the Liberty Bell?" "Ex-members of AVH and Stasi - former Hungarian and East German secret police - ruthless professionals infamous for their use of garrotes?" "As Castillo and his operatives try to connect the dots, two Russian SVR rezidents turn his world upside down. They want to defect - but to Castillo, not the CIA, which already is bragging it bagged the pair. And being top-level foreign intelligence service officers, they bear him great gifts ... including what they claim is Russian intel about who's making weapons of mass destruction and where. There's more than one big surprise in all this for Presidential Agent C.G. Castillo ... if he can stay alive."--BOOK JACKET.

'Wild Bill' Donovan's men have several tactics in mind, but some of the people they must rely upon are not the most reliable - are, in fact, probably spying for both sides - so the deceptions require layer upon layer of intrigue. All it will take is one slip to send the whole thing tumbling down like a house of cards. Are the OSS agents up to it? They certainly think so. But then a body is found floating off the coast of Spain . . . Packed with military action, The Double Agents is irresistible storytelling from a master of the genre.

October 1945. The war is over. The OSS has been disbanded. But for Cletus Frade and his colleagues in the OSS, the fight goes on... In the closing months of the war, the United States made a secret deal with Reinhard Gehlen, head of German intelligence's Soviet section. In exchange for a treasure trove of intelligence on the Soviets and their spies within the U.S. atomic bomb program, Gehlen's people would be spirited to safety in Argentina. Only a handful of people know about the deal. If word got out, all hell would break loose--and the U.S. would lose some of the most valuable intelligence sources they possess. It is up to Frade and company to keep them safe. But some people have other ideas...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Several high schoolers are fighting to be able to play sports their senior year after a change in the eligibility rules left them on the sideline.
One of those students is Jessica Norman, a senior at Olympic High School in Charlotte who was told she can't play soccer.
She took two advanced placement classes and one math class last semester. But since those AP classes are year round, she doesn't get credit for them until the end of the year. Therefore she doesn't have the three credits she needs to play.
I feel like my heart is breaking. I have been playing with these girls since elementary school, Norman said.
Norman wasn't told the AP classes wouldn't count, and her mother is upset about the ruling.
I have a daughter that could have graduated in December, could be in college now, but she wanted to play soccer and that dream is being taken away from her, said Jessica s mother, Cheryl Norman.
The rules changed in July, but Norman, who is one of at least three Olympic students having the issue, signed up for classes in May.
CMS says it is researching the incident
The North Carolina High School Athletic Association, meanwhile, issued a statement Friday at 4:15 p.m:
It is unfortunate that these student-athletes are ineligible to participate in the spring semester of their senior year, and the NCHSAA does not address credits in its rules in any way. But, the state does address that a student-athlete must take and pass a minimum course load in order to be eligible in the next semester. Minimum load is defined as 3 block courses, 5 traditional courses and/or 6 A/B courses, and there can be combinations. While you did not reference a specific student in your correspondence, the issues surrounding the students at Olympic indicate that a minimum load was not taken. The reason for that, I cannot address. In addition, you mention AP courses, but the kind of course does not affect eligibility it is type (as referenced above) that determines eligibility. Finally, our rules must be enforced so that we remain consistent in the application of our rules for all schools and we have done so in this case.

Illuminating the way: Jay Flatley
"Overall, we believe Illumina is the undisputed leader in the genetic research niche," according to a recent report from the research firm Morningstar.
Flatley is largely responsible for Illumina's status, said noted geneticist Eric Topol, a cardiologist who directs the Scripps Translational Science Institute.
"He's a very ambitious leader who anticipates the future," Topol said.
Topol traced Illumina's dominance to its 2006 purchase of Solexa, a pioneer in what is called next-generation sequencing. The technology enables information to be packed more densely, and provides a stronger fluorescent signal to be detected.
"What has made them the market leader in sequencing is the accuracy and the speed. None of it is perfect, but it's better than its competitors," Topol said. "They became the dominant player in high-throughput genotyping, but they didn't stop there. They also wanted to be the leader in high-throughput sequencing, so that's when they acquired Solexa."
With Solexa came David Bentley, whom Topol described as a "brilliant scientist." Bentley became Illumina's chief scientist of DNA sequencing.
"That acquisition was not just about technology, it was also about talent. Jay's been exceptionally good at recruiting exceptional talent," Topol said.
The first human genome was sequenced in 2000. The announcement brought forth headlines about the knowledge to be gained from reading the book of life.
Then reality set in. One genome couldn't say anything about human health or disease. It was the differences between individual genomes that mattered.
Some of these differences were tiny. A difference of just one "letter" of the three billion that make up the human genome could cause disease.
Also, the cost of studying these differences was far too high for general medical use. Sequencing the first human genome cost $1 billion, one-third the cost of the $3 billion Human Genome Project. And it slowly became apparent that diseases could be caused by changes in the vast majority of the genome outside of genes, which only make up a few percent of our DNA.
So to become a regular part of medicine, genome sequencing needed to become fast, accurate and really cheap. Illumina and chief rival Applied Biosystems (now part of Life Technologies), set out to lower the cost of DNA sequencing and genotyping, which seeks to determine which gene variants are present.
As a result of the intense competition, that goal is nearly accomplished. Today, the price of sequencing a genome has fallen below $5,000, and the $1,000 genome is not too far off.
The company first mastered genotyping, the identification of genetic variants, then vaulted to lead in DNA sequencing, determining the exact sequence of each "letter" in the genetic alphabet. Humans have about 3 billion such letters, making sequencing a very data-intensive process.
Flatley said he subscribes to the saying made famous by Intel's Andy Grove that only the paranoid survive.
"We watch our competitors very closely. We track every technology," Flatley said.
Life Technologies ranks highest on that list of rivals. The company acquired what could be the answer to Solexa in 2010 when it purchased Ion Torrent, developer of a solid-state sequencer that reads DNA directly from a chip.
