Pa. girl, 11, goes home after 2 lung transplantsBy RON TODT
The Associated Press | August 28,2013AP PHOTO
The Murnaghan family is shown here. Sarah Murnaghan, center, celebrates the 100th day of her stay in Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia with her father, Fran, left, and mother, Janet. The 10-year-old suburban Philadelphia girl received a lung transplant there June 12, her family said.PHILADELPHIA A Pennsylvania girl whose need for new lungs sparked a national debate on how transplant recipients are prioritized was released from the hospital Tuesday.
Sarah Murnaghan, who turned 11 on Aug. 7, was discharged from The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia and later carried into her familys Newtown Square home, where the entrance was festooned with balloons and a big sign saying Welcome Home, Sarah!
Sarah received two sets of lungs this summer as she struggles with the effects of end-stage cystic fibrosis.
Her mother, Janet Murnaghan, said in a Facebook post late Monday that she and her daughter had cried tears of joy.
We entered CHOP on Feb. 19, more than six months ago. I never could have imagined the journey that lay in front of us, Murnaghan wrote in the post, thanking God, Sarahs donors and all those who supported the family. She said she plans to speak with reporters Tuesday afternoon.
Her release capped days of upbeat progress reports from the family.
On Sunday, Murnaghan said her daughter was taken off oxygen, although she still gets support from a machine that helps her to breathe, and had started to walk with the aid of a walker, even venturing outside.
Family spokeswoman Tracy Simon said Sarahs recovery is now focused on building her muscle strength so she no longer has to use a breathing tube. She said Sarah recovered from a case of pneumonia that stemmed from the tube.
Sarahs first set of adult lungs failed after a June 12 transplant. A second set was transplanted three days later.
She received the transplants after her parents went to federal court to challenge national transplant rules that put her at the end of the waiting list for adult lungs. A federal judge intervened, forcing the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network the private nonprofit group that manages U.S. organ allocation to add Sarah to the adult list.
The case raised questions among some health specialists and medical ethicists about how organ donation rules are developed and under what circumstances they might be disregarded.
UNOS spokeswoman Anne Paschke said Tuesday that the temporary option for other children to apply for adult lungs will be in effect until the end of June 2014. She said a committee is currently studying whether to make that change permanent, or make other changes to adolescent lung transplant rules.
So far, six children, including Sarah, have applied for adult lung transplants as a result of the temporary rule, Paschke said. Two of the others ultimately received adolescent donor lungs and three are still waiting for transplants.
Javier Acosta, a second child whose family also sued to get access to adult lungs, is still waiting for a transplant, family lawyer Melissa Hatch said Tuesday.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Earlier this year, Hillary Rodham Clintons campaign lost count of its experts.

How Particle Physics is Ruining Your Netflix Experience
According to a Swiss research team, your Netflix queue may have more to do with physics than it does personal recommendations or anything else. This is mostly due to the algorithms in the system, which create biases based on previous movies which may have a high amount of views simply because of people's tendency to take a chance on movies that look terrible. Well, that explains why 'The Expendables' keeps showing up on our queue.

A BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Ellis Peters' thrilling mystery, featuring medieval monk Brother Cadfael.
It is 1141. In Shrewsbury, civil war is tearing the country apart as the bitter feud between King Stephen and Maud shows no sign of abating. Cadfael, safe within the peaceful walls of the Abbey, does not expect to be drawn on to the battlefield - but when a Welsh prisoner of war is brought to him for treatment of a sword-wound, he finds himself embroiled in the conflict. The young soldier is the foster son of the Prince of North Wales, and a prized possession. In fact, he is so valuable that he can be offered in exchange for Gilbert Prescott, the Sheriff of Shrewsbury, who has been captured by the Welsh.
A swap is duly arranged, but when one of the prisoners is found dead before the transaction takes place, the community learns the horrifying truth: there is a murderer in the monastery. Can Cadfael find out who it is?
Starring Philip Madoc, Michael Kitchen and Susannah York, and dramatized by Bert Coules. This recording was previously released on cassette in 1995 and 2000.

favorite sandal
I love these flip flops. I wear them almost everyday (I'm lucky enough to go to school in Southern California, and spend my summers in the NW) and have been wearing them for about five years now. The soles are starting to get a little worn down, and the fabric of the strap is also starting to show some wear. With that said, I've probably worn these sandals about 1,000 days out of the last 5 years. Incredible sandal with good arch support, comfortable toe strap, and good traction.These are great sandals. You get the Chaco bombproofness without always wearing the larger, heavier, (possibly less stylish, depending on your fashion choices) Z1 or Z2 sandal.

The Innovation Act
On February 5, 2015, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte was joined by Representative Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.), Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Ranking Member Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), Science, Space and Technology Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), Representative Zoe Logren (D-Calif.), and Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology Ranking Member Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) in introducing a bill to address the ever increasing problem of abusive patent litigation. The bipartisan Innovation Act (H.R. 9), which is the same legislation that passed the House in 2013, builds on the reforms that were made in the America Invents Act and addresses certain abusive practices taking place in our courts.
Background on the Innovation Act:
• Requires plaintiffs to disclose who the owner of a patent is before litigation, so that it is clear who the real parties behind the litigation are. This will ensure that Patent Trolls cannot hide behind a web of shell companies to avoid accountability for bringing frivolous litigation.
• Requires plaintiffs to actually explain why they are suing a company in their court pleadings.
• Requires courts to make decisions about whether a patent is valid or invalid early in the litigation process so that Patent Trolls cannot drag patent cases on for years based on invalid claims. This prevents invalid patents from being used to extort money from retailers and end users.
• When parties bring lawsuits or claims that have no reasonable basis in law and fact, the Innovation Act requires judges to award attorneys' fees to the victims of the frivolous lawsuit. The bill allows judges to waive the award of attorneys' fees in special circumstances. This provision applies to both plaintiffs and defendants who file frivolous claims.
• Requires the Judicial Conference to make rules to reduce the costs of discovery in patent litigation, so that Patent Trolls cannot use the high costs of discovery to extort money from small businesses and entrepreneurs.
• Creates a voluntary process for small businesses to postpone expensive patent lawsuits while their larger sellers complete similar patent lawsuits against the same plaintiffs, to protect customers who simply bought the product off-the-shelf.
• Requires PTO to provide educational resources for those facing abusive patent litigation claims.
The Innovation Act previously passed the House of Representatives in the 113th Congress by an overwhelming bipartisan vote of 325-91. That legislation was supported by a wide range of groups that include stakeholders from all areas of our economy representing businesses of all kinds from every corner of our country including independent inventors and innovators.

9 Astrology Insights Into Aries
9 Astrology Insights Into Aries
Aries is not only the first sign of the zodiac, but the entry of the Sun into Aries marks the time of the Vernal Equinox, the beginning of Spring. As the first sign, Aries is the sign of initiation and courage but is also known as the infant of the zodiac. Like a newborn baby, Aries is innocently self-centered and driven by pure desire. Aries tends to be fiercely independent and idealistic; they long to feel that their lives are important and heroic. To get to know your Aries self, friend, family member, or lover better, check out these basics of Aries—their power colors, how to love them, how to keep them healthy, and what they find most inspiring.

Alumni & Giving
A message from Jeff Miller '84, Alumni Board President.
I am pleased to have this opportunity on behalf of the Monmouth College Alumni Board to welcome you to the new and improved Alumni web page. This page allows all Monmouth College Alumni - a group of over 12,000 members strong across 41 countries – to connect and network with alums, students and the college.
Monmouth College identifies itself as "What college was meant to be." I hope you understand why that statement is so true. Our time on campus prepared us for life outside the college. However, as Alums we need to think differently about Monmouth College.
We have the unique opportunity to stay involved and engaged with the College. The College and Alumni provide many opportunities found through a network of Alumni Programs, Chapters and activities. Your continued involvement and commitment to Monmouth will not only improve the present and future of the College, but will continue to provide personal dividends as you connect with classmates and renew or create friendships with other alumni.
Remember the motto - "It's great to be a Scot." Your time on campus may be over, but you will always be a Scot.

One of the best times ever. The charge after lunch was, well something to remember for a lifetime.
I got to be the Russian General and Dan Bonebrake was the German General and took everyone with him that knew anything about the field or had a marker that could shoot more than 5 bps, or had a tank with quad dual auto Tippmann's, or troop carrying bus. However, I could and did shoot my own team if they weren't advancing fast enough... Think about that. :)
If anyone needs another Russian General, I lived in Moscow for a few years, was the first person to shoot a paintball gun in the Soviet Union and my Russian/Soviet partner and I produced the first paintball gun in Russia.

Mid-South Fishing Report for June 27
Here's a brief look at what's biting in streams and lakes around the Mid-South:
Pickwick Lake: Guide Clagett Talley (731-607-5266) says he's still catching quite a few bass below the dam using a Strike King Series 3 crankbait around rocky banks. Fishing has also been good below the dam for stripers, but you have to make adjustments throughout the day. Anglers have been using large artificial baits to catch a few stripers at the base of the dam just after sunrise. Then as the sun gets higher, most anglers are having better luck drifting downstream from the dam with live bait.
Kentucky Lake: Guide Steve McCadams (731-642-0360) says bass fishing is still excellent, with lots of good fish taking deep-diving crankbaits around main-lake ledges. Some of the best fishing has been in the 15- to 20-foot range. Carolina-rigged lizards and worms are also producing a few bass around the humps and ledges. Crappie are still hitting minnow-tipped jigs around brush piles and stake beds in 12-14 feet. Recent mayfly hatches have created some good bream fishing in Swamp Creek, Big Sandy and West Sandy. Anglers are catching lots of eating-size fish with crickets, redworms and small black jigs.
Arkabutla Lake: The lake is 13.7 feet above rule curve. After months of slow fishing, crappie anglers are finally having some luck drifting with minnows in the mouths of the major creeks. The magic depth has been 12-15 feet. Catfishing has also been good in areas where fresh water is flowing in. Lots of channel catfish and blue catfish are taking worms and chicken livers fished on the bottom. Flathead catfish are taking live bluegill, shiners and gold fish. White bass are schooling during the evening hours, and some good catches are being made with white jigs and small in-line spinners.
Sardis Lake: The lake is 4.1 feet above summer pool. Kim from Wyatt Crossing Outdoors (662-551-2399) says all fishing has come to a halt on the upper end of the lake except for catfishing. Decent numbers of eating-size channel cats are still being caught with nightcrawlers, liver and cut shad fished on the bottom in moving water. The folks from Long's Sporting Goods and Quick Stop (662-487-2187) say crappie fishing has been good on the lower end of the lake with crankbaits trolled 18-20 feet deep. A few bream have also been bedding between Piney Point and Whiskey Hill.
Enid Lake: The lake is 3.1 feet above summer pool. Trollers have been catching decent numbers of crappie, using crankbaits 15-20 feet deep in the mouths of the major creeks. Bass have been taking crankbaits and Carolina-rigged plastics around drop-offs on the main lake. Big bass have been hard to come by, but overall numbers have been surprisingly good for the heat of summer. Channel catfish have been biting nightcrawlers and chicken livers around rocky banks on the lower end of the lake. Lots of bedding bream have been taking crickets and redworms in the creeks and coves. White bass have been schooling during the evening hours around points on the main lake. Just watch for schooling activity and use jigs or small crankbaits.
Grenada Lake: The lake is 0.9 feet below summer pool. Collins Bait Shop (662-226-3581) says crappie fishing has been good with the largest fish coming from 12-20 feet of water on the main lake. Trolling with crankbaits has been the best method. Good numbers of channel catfish have been taking worms around rocks and concrete boat ramps near the dam.
Tunica Cutoff: The Mississippi River was at 25.6 feet Tuesday and should fall to 22.6 feet by Sunday. The folks at Charlie's Camp (662-363-1353) say most types of fishing are slow for the moment. But they expect everything to improve steadily as the water level drops.
Horn Lake: The Lakeview Boat Dock (662-781-1550) says bream fishing has been good with crickets fished 4-6 feet deep around the trees. A few bedding bream are also being caught in Mud Lake and in the runout. Crappie are being caught 10-15 feet deep in the main lake on minnow-tipped jigs. Catfishing has been good all over the lake with liver and cut shad. Anglers fishing from the pier are catching a mixed bag of bream and catfish.
White River: Fly-fishing guide John Berry (870-435-2169) says water flows have been consistently high, and fishing has taken a slight downturn. The best lures in the high water have been brightly colored San Juan worms and large brightly colored eggs.
Maddox Bay: Maddox Bay Landing (870-462-8317) says the water is murky and high, and bream fishing has been fair with crickets and worms fished around the banks. Anglers using live bait are also catching lots of eating-size catfish.
Horseshoe Lake: Local angler Clyde Gregory says water conditions are normal, and bream are biting crickets around the lily pads. Crappie fishing has been good on the main lake with live minnows. Most crappie are being caught 12-15 feet deep. Catfishing has been good around the banks on nightcrawlers and cut bait.

I was not that impressed with Pretty Dead.
First off, it just seems to be another faceless book in
the vampire genre. There are way too many now, and if an
author doesn't want her book to get lost in the shuffle,
it must be extraordinary. I didn't care for any of the
characters, which I blame on the fact that Block doesn't
go into much detail. Everything is kept on the surface,
including some of the plot. I would have liked to learn a
lot more about the vampire lore, Charlotte's past and her
relationships with the other characters. The only thing I
liked about Pretty Dead was that it tried a new idea, with
a vampire turning mortal. Normally books deal with the
opposite, so I was interested in learning more about this
process, but everything was very vague. If you want to
read about vampires, I would recommend skipping Pretty
Dead and finding another book.

Posted May 17, 2012 on AP on Fox
The Indianapolis Colts have cut tight end Brody Eldridge and brought in another quarterback. Eldridge played two seasons in Indy after the Colts took him in the fifth round of the 2010 draft. In 27 games, he caught 14 passes for 84 yards but was primarily a blocker. Indy took two tight ends in April -- Stanford's Coby Fleener in the second round and Clemson's Dwayne Allen in the third. Both are considered better receivers than blockers. The Colts also signed David Legree, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound undrafted rookie quarterback from Hampton in Virginia. Legree is the third rookie quarterback on the roster, joining No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck and seventh-round pick Chandler Harnish. Harnish missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury.

Ann Hamilton, 54, did this despite being warned at the start of the trial not to discuss the case with family and friends. The High Court in Glasgow heard that the next day she revealed to other jurors what she had done and one of them informed the clerk of court.
The trial had to be stopped and the alleged victim, who had already given evidence, will have to do so for a second time in new proceedings.
Judge Lord McEwan told Hamilton: "At the start of the trial I very clearly told all the jury they must not discuss the matter even within their own home. From what has been said to me you heard and understood that and disobeyed it.
"A trial which had lasted for two days effectively hit the buffers. This has caused enormous expense to the public purse."
Lord McEwan after finding Hamilton, who is on benefits and suffers from ill health, in contempt admonished her.

The force is clearly strong behind the petition filed Nov. 14 at petitions.whitehouse.gov — already 27,456 have signed on in support, surpassing the 25,000 needed for a White House review.
"Those who sign here petition the United States government to secure funding and resources, and begin construction on a Death Star by 2016," the petition reads.
"By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense."
The Death Star was a moon-size battle station with planet-destroying capabilities that appeared in the 1977 box- office hit "Star Wars."
The White House's website includes a petition page designed to facilitate the right of U.S. citizens to petition the federal government.

AP sources: Intelligence on weapons no 'slam dunk'
WASHINGTON The intelligence linking Syrian President Bashar Assad or his inner circle to an alleged chemical weapons attack is no "slam dunk," with questions remaining about who actually controls some of Syria's chemical weapons stores and doubts about whether Assad himself ordered the strike, U.S. intelligence officials say.
President Barack Obama declared unequivocally Wednesday that the Syrian government was responsible, while laying the groundwork for an expected U.S. military strike.
"We have concluded that the Syrian government in fact carried these out," Obama said in an interview with "NewsHour" on PBS. "And if that's so, then there need to be international consequences."
However, multiple U.S. officials used the phrase "not a slam dunk" to describe the intelligence picture - a reference to then-CIA Director George Tenet's insistence in 2002 that U.S. intelligence showing Iraq had weapons of mass destruction was a "slam dunk" - intelligence that turned out to be wrong.
A report by the Office of the Director for National Intelligence outlining that evidence against Syria includes a few key caveats - including acknowledging that the U.S. intelligence community no longer has the certainty it did six months ago of where the regime's chemical weapons are stored, nor does it have proof Assad ordered chemical weapons use, according to two intelligence officials and two more U.S. officials.
The humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders has said an Aug. 21 rocket strike killed 355 people.
A three-page report released Thursday by the British government said there was "a limited but growing body of intelligence" blaming the Syrian government for the attacks. And though the British were not sure why Assad would have carried out such an attack, the report said there was "no credible intelligence" that the rebels had obtained or used chemical weapons.
Quizzed by lawmakers in Britain's House of Commons, Prime Minister David Cameron gave various descriptions for his level of certainty to Assad's responsibility, ranging from "beyond doubt" to being "as certain as possible."
"We have a regime that has used chemical weapons on 14 occasions, that is most likely responsible for this large-scale attack, that if nothing is done it will conclude that it can use these weapons again and again and on a larger scale and with impunity," he said.
Like the British report, the yet-to-be-released U.S. report assesses with "high confidence" that the Syrian government was responsible for the attacks that hit suburbs east and west of Damascus, filled with a chemical weapon, according to a senior U.S. official who read the report.
The official conceded there are caveats in the report and there is no proof saying Assad personally ordered the attack. There was no mention in the report of the possibility that a rogue element inside Assad's government or military could have been responsible, the senior official said.
All the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the intelligence report publicly.
Relevant congressional committees were to be briefed on that evidence by teleconference call on Thursday, U.S. officials and congressional aides said.

Brazil: Court ruling means all gay couples can legally marry in the state of São Paulo
Post your comment

That's good news. There are others states like Alagoas, Bahia and Piauí that officially recognize gay marriage in Brazil. This new change in Sao Paulo may be recognized in all the national territory.
Great news!!
When and how same-sex marriage in Brazil will come nation wide? In Parliament or in Supreme Court (again)? Current situation is a little absurd, I think: civil union law (what is in the fact not 'true' parliamentarian law, just formal 'Imprimatur' by the Judicial Commission of the decision of Supreme Court from May 2011), but lower courts just 'ignore' it – and make gay marriage legal. Situation like this needs final solution and logical end.
Unfortunately legislation moves very slowly in Brazil, but I'm pretty sure it'll happen by the end of Dilma's current term of office.
This is very good news against the Pope of Vicious 16th. It will be good to see Brasil advance towards marriage equality with Argentina and Uruguay.
Very nice and symbolic 'welcome' to the Bishop of Rome, when he arrive to Rio in the next year, indeed! Nationwide same-sex marriage law will be even more better, of course.
è una splendida vittoria democratica e di diritto civile. grazie brasile!!
Congratulations to Brazil, it is a fantastic good start, state-by-state we will get there!
Fantastic news, hey down under (otherwise known as Australia) get with the program!
It is a good start….

Jawing at Jimmer not in SDSU's playbook
San Diego This sounds almost too nice to be a rivalry.
Fans shouldn't expect any trash talking on the court when Jimmer Fredette and the No. 7 BYU Cougars visit D.J. Gay and the No. 6 San Diego State Aztecs on Saturday in a nationally televised showdown.
Viejas Arena is expected to be amped up for one of the most eagerly anticipated games in San Diego sports history. It's been sold out for nearly two months and tickets are going for hundreds of dollars on various Websites. A long line of students snaked around the 12,414-seat arena on Thursday afternoon. Their allotment originally was scheduled to be distributed on Friday afternoon, but it was moved up to Friday morning due to the threat of rain.
The student section, known as "The Show," will no doubt push the bounds of decency.
But there's no animosity between the players, even after Jimmer went off for 43 points in a 71-58 win against SDSU in Provo a month ago.
"I think since we're both in the Top 10 and have been playing very well and always have great battles against each other that there's a level of respect," Jimmer said Wednesday night after scoring 34 points in BYU's 84-76 win against Colorado State. "Both teams have very talented players and we go out and compete. There's no trash talking or anything like that. We both just want to win the Mountain West Conference and that's what this game is all about. I think both teams have great respect for each other."
The feeling is mutual, SDSU senior forward Billy White said. Jawing at Jimmer won't be in SDSU's playbook.
"D.J., Tim (Shelton) and I have been in the league for four years, so we kind of grew up with each other, playing against each other all the time. We just have respect for each other. He is a great player and I respect him a lot for what he's doing. On Saturday, we'll just try not to let him go off on us this time to get a win."
White went so far as to call Fredette "a great guy. He always says, 'Good job.' He's not a trash-talker at all."
The Aztecs (27-1, 12-1 Mountain West) haven't been doing a good job against Fredette and BYU (26-2, 12-1) in recent games. The Cougars have won three straight in the series, including 71-69 at San Diego last year. Fredette, recovering from strep throat and mononucleosis, scored 33 points in that game.
A month ago, Fredette highlighted the first Top 10 showdown in Mountain West history by scoring BYU's final 15 points of the first half and 24 of 27 in one stretch.
"The key thing that we're going to try to do this time is keep fresh bodies on him," Gay said on Thursday. "It may not seem like it, but he is a human. He has to get tired sometime. I think if we have the ability to keep fresh bodies and put a little bit more length on him, like we did the first game, you know, have Billy, have him shoot over the top, which is difficult, I think that might play to our benefit. Just keeping fresh bodies and length to help tire him out and kind of slow him down."

Penny McConnel has worked in bookstores for over 30 years. She lives in Norwich with her husband, Jim, and Penny spends as much time as she can reading, gardening, spending time with Jim, and learning Italian.
A very different novel from Atkinson's "Life After Life", this is a story of a family and all that the idea of family can mean. We follow Britisher Teddy Todd as a pilot in the RAF during WW2 and then beyond into the next century. HIs life is not what he expected, but Teddy is a good, kind man who seems to be able to take what is given him and move on. His life, to me, was of great interest. He is positive and mostly hopeful as he becomes a husband, father, widow, and grandfather. This is a richly generous novel spanning four generations that proves once again how delicious a big story can be.
This is definitely not the book for everyone. It is about a 41-year-old female librarian who has an affair with a 17-year-old boy. It is beautifully written, honest, and asks the eternal questions about who we love and what we do about it. There is not a great deal of action as most of the book consists of Mayumi's thoughts, fears, and hopes. If what I have said so far has not turned you off, by all means read this book. It will stay with you. I greatly enjoyed it.
What could be more delightful than the fourth delicious Penderwick book? If you have not yet read one of these books, you are about to discover a wonderfully funny, normal, interesting family. This time it is 11-year-old Batty's turn to shine. Music, dog walking and her place in her family with six children are the things occupying her mind when she is not missing her oldest sister, Rosalind, who is off to college, and her dear friend Jeffrey. This book just makes me smile.
A beautifully written book about a 72-year-old woman living in present-day Beirut remembering key events in her past. A review in the New York Times refers to the novel as a "meditation on aging, politics, literature, loneliness, grief and resilience." I found it absorbing and unforgettable.
Barbara Parker is crowned Miss Blackpool in England in 1964. She really does not want to be a beauty queen as she is intent on going to London and becoming a famous comedian. This is a delightful story of a group of people who come together to write, produce and star in what becomes a very popular tv show on the BBC. This book is funny, insightful, and deeply human. I loved it.
A somewhat elegiac novel about three young people living in England during World War II, Humphreys' novel asks the question, "how do we move ahead in spite of our losses?". Her characters often find their answers in the simple things: birds, walks, dogs, the kindnesses and companionship of others. Humphreys has always been a lyrical and complex writer and this new book surpasses expectations. I loved it!
This amazing book has filled me with such great joy, interest and admiration both during and after I completed it. Efemelu, a young smart Nigerian girl dreams of someday going to America. When she does, her eyes are opened to so much more than she had anticipated; most importantly racism. Back home in Nigeria Efemelu had never thought about being black because everyone was, but when she arrived in the states, she discovered the heavy weight of race that burdens both the black and white populations. In the states she graduates from college, has several relationships with good men and ultimately writes a very popular blog called "Understanding America For The Non White American." Throughout these years, Efemelu has never forgotten Obinze, the young Nigerian boy she fell in love with in high school and the reader never stops hoping that they will eventually find each other. This is a contemporary story that is not just another story of immigration, but one of identity, love and powerful insights. Adichie is a powerful voice in contemporary fiction; a brave writer whose work I look forward to reading more of.
Wolitzer, a well respected writer of adult fiction has written a strong novel for a younger audience. Following a disastrous relationship ,teenager Jam Hallahue suffers an emotional breakdown and is sent to Wooden Barn, a therapeutic boarding school in Vermont. She discovers upon her first day there, that she will be taking a mysterious class called "Special Topics in English". The class of five is told that they must write in their journals twice a week and that the journals will be collected at the end of the term. Strange things begin to happen to each of the students in the class when they start to write in the journals and the class bonds as they share their stories. This is a wonderful tale of love, loss, sorrow and friendship.
What can an eleven year old girl do who loves nothing more than cooking up great dishes and plans to be a great restaurant critic someday when her parents say "no more cooking"? They also want her to make friends and spend more time playing on the computer. Gladys discovers that she can do what her parents ask and also be a restaurant critic while still in 6th grade. This is a wonderful book about listening to your parents, but also following your heart. In the end everyone wins.
This is a delightful memoir about a man and his cello. Goldman is Jewish and has an on and off again relationship with the cello and his religion. His growing interest in both of these subjects combine for a glimpse into the life of a very interesting man .This would be especially interesting to a musician who begins to play an instrument in earnest in later life.
Tom Putnam an English Professor who has a neurotic wife and a quirky and wonderful resident mother in law has just received a letter telling him he has a young son who is on his way for a visit. When his wife dies suddenly, his son arrives and Tom meets Rose, the lovely new bookseller at the campus bookstore; his life changes forever .A heartwarming story that reminds us that life can be wonderful and that there might be surprises down the road that we cannot imagine.
At last: a grown-up novel written with thoughts and ideas that understand there are intelligent people still reading novels today. Florence Gordon is a feisty writer of 75 years who does not suffer fools gladly. She is working on writing her memoir, but finds it difficult when her son and his family return to New York City bringing all kinds of problems with them. Florence would be happy to not have to become embroiled, but life will have it's own way. I found this to be a richly satisfying read.
If you are a Donna Leon fan, just buy the book. You cannot go wrong. If you are not yet a fan, buy the book, you cannot go wrong. Venice, Commissario Guido Brunetti. contemporary Italian culture and a mystery that revolves around books. Pure delicious reading indulgence!
This wonderful novel is as timely today as when it was first released and won The Pulitzer Prize 30 years ago. In alternating chapters we meet Fred, a 29 year old English professor at a prestigious New England college, and Vinnie, a 54 year old professor also at the same college. They are not friends nor do they become friends, but they are both in London for the summer and each of them has a summer of discovery; about themselves, their relationships and their professions. This is a deliciously rich and satisfying novel.
This haunting and lyrical novel about a man heading toward old age and the young girl who comes into his life will stay with you for a long time. Living on an orchard in Washington state toward the end of the 20th century, Talmadge has been alone for most of his life, growing his apples and taking them to town to sell from the back of his wagon. One day two young and pregnant girls stumble into the orchard and everything changes. Coplin writes of the landscape of frontier Washington as if she had been born there. She is a young writer to watch for.
Consider me pleasantly surprised! "A Fine Romance" takes the reader on a delightful two month escape via The Queen Mary to the English countryside. Branch who is known for her hand lettered cookbooks complete with watercolor paintings has done one better with this memoir of the trip she took with her husband in 2012. Both gardeners and Anglophiles will enjoy this personal and colorful memoir. What better in this snowy Vermont weather than to curl up by the fire with a book about England in the springtime. A perfect companion to "Beatrix Potter's Gardening Life".
Julia Glass' newest offering is a delicious delight. For me, it was akin to spending a week with a group of people I had just met and wanted to learn more about. Kit Noonan is in his 40's. A father and husband, he is finally ready to search out the identity of the man who fathered him. What he discovers brings him not only a new family in all aspects of that word, but also a way to re-direct his professional life. With wonderfully interesting characters this is a rich and rewarding read. I crept through the past 100 pages not wanting it to end.
Several years ago Gail Caldwell gave us the lovely and intimate memoir, "Let's Take The Long Way Home" about her deep friendship with Carolyn Knapp. This insightful new memoir is another deeply engrossing read. When Caldwell was an infant she had polio. 50 years later a limp and increasing pain in her leg forced her to make a decision about the years ahead and possible surgery. This is not a woman to be slowed down. Her remarkably honest tale of how she copes amid her day to day life is like sitting down with an old friend and asking how her life is. Five stars again for Gail Caldwell.
The first of a series by the amazing Italian writer Elena Ferrante, this story follows the deep and abiding friendship of two girls growing up on the edge of Naples in the 1950's. I was deeply drawn into the lives of both of the girls, as well as those of their families and neighbors. Naples was, and to a certain extent still is, a rough scrabble place and is very much another character in this beautifully evocative story of the lives of two friends.
I love just about any book this woman writes. They are always smart, fun and deeply affecting. This is no different. Fin is an 11 year old boy who after the death of his mother goes to NYC to live with Lady, his glamorous half sister. At times it is difficult to know who is the adult. It is the 60's and much is going on in their lives including three suitors vying for the hand of Lady. If you want a book that does not force drama on you yet gives you total pleasure as well as something to think about, this is it!
Historical fiction at its best, written by a woman with extensive knowledge about Italy's past and present. Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia has just been declared Pope Alexander at the end of the 15th century and has a voracious appetite to acquire power for himself and his four children. At the heart of the book is Lucrezia, who we meet at 12 years of age about to be married to the first of her three husbands. This novel reads like a contemporary story, but with the passion and history of well researched fact. I loved it!
This is a better book than The Kite Runner and that is saying something. It is concerned not so much with the wars and troubles of the people of Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Taliban, but with the people of those areas. A multi-generational story that spans from Kabul to Paris, San Francisco and a small island in Greece. The plot follow a family watching their lives unfold and then in some cases fold back again. The characters are richly created and their stories both complex and heart-warming. This is a good book to sink into for summertime reading.

Find out how your local lawmakers voted last week: July 1
Eric Holder in Contempt: Voting 255-67, members held Atty. Gen. Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide a House committee with certain subpoenaed documents related to the "Fast and Furious" gun-walking fiasco, which is linked to a U.S. border agent's murder in 2010. President Obama has invoked executive privilege to protect the documents from House investigators. A yes vote backed the contempt citation. (H Res 711)
Rep. Bill Posey, R-15: Yes
Rep. Tom Rooney, R-16: Yes
Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-23: Not voting
Bid for Mukasey Testimony: Members defeated, 172-251, a Democratic bid for testimony on U.S. gun operations in Mexico from Michael Mukasey, President George W. Bush's last attorney general, who received a briefing paper in 2007 that mentioned the tactics. House Republicans have not called him as a witness. A yes vote backed the bid during debate on H Res 711.
Posey: No
Rooney: No
Hastings: Yes
Bid to Rebuke Issa: Members tabled, 259-161, a bid by Democrats for the House to formally disapprove of the way Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., has directed a committee probe that led to Atty. Gen. Eric Holder being held in contempt of Congress. A no vote was to rebuke Issa, in part for his having publicly accused Holder of lying without offering corroborating evidence. (H Res 718)
Posey: Yes
Rooney: Yes
Hastings: No
Judgment Against Holder: Members authorized, 258-95, the hiring of outside counsel to seek a declaratory court judgment to enforce a criminal contempt citation against Atty. Gen. Eric Holder.

Posey: Yes
Rooney: Yes
Hastings: Not voting
Roads, Loans, Insurance: Members voted, 373-52, to fund road and transit programs at $109 billion until October 2014, freeze interest on new student loans at 3.4 percent until July 2013 and renew National Flood Insurance with a higher debt limit until October 2017. A yes vote was to send HR 4348 to the Senate.
Posey: No
Rooney: Yes
Hastings: Yes
Air-Service Subsidies: Members refused, 164-238, to defund and thus kill the Essential Air Service program, which subsidizes daily flights to 120 small cities and rural outposts nationwide. A yes vote was to end a program expected to receive a $114 million appropriation in 2013. (HR 5972)
Posey: Yes
Rooney: Yes
Hastings: No
Public-Housing Budget: Members refused, 160-264, to cut $562 million, or 12 percent, from the $4.7 billion fiscal 2013 budget for operating expenses at the nation's 14,000 public-housing developments in 3,500 communities. A yes vote supported the proposed budget cut. (HR 5972)Posey: Yes
Rooney: Yes
Hastings: No
Drug-Safety Funding: Senators expanded, 92-4, the Food and Drug Administration's budget and powers for assuring the safety of U.S. pharmaceuticals and medical devices. A yes vote was to send President Obama a bill assessing $6 billion in user fees on firms seeking FDA approval of their drugs and devices. (S 3187)
Sen. Bill Nelson, D: Yes
Sen. Marco Rubio, R: Yes
Renewal of Major Laws: Senators sent President Obama, 74-19, a bill HR 4348 (see vote above) projected to add or retain 2.7 million construction jobs in the transportation sector, hold down college borrowing costs and boost housing sales by renewing National Flood Insurance. A yes vote was to pass the bill.
Nelson: Yes
Rubio: No

TVA eliminating thousands of positions to save, compete
The Tennessee Valley Authority will cut more than 10 percent of its staff positions this year as it shutters more coal plants and trims operations to bring the federal utility more in line with competitors' staffing levels.
TVA accepted 750 early retirements and resignations under a voluntary incentive program this year and won't fill about 1,000 other vacant staff positions, TVA President Bill Johnson said. Other staff cuts are planned in TVA's nuclear power program, which is still being reorganized. But even before TVA cuts its own nuclear staff, 390 Bechtel contractors are scheduled to be laid off this summer from the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant in Spring City, Tenn.
TVA also expects to have to make some involuntary layoffs this year, although managers still are working to identify staffing personnel and numbers to meet budget targets.

Search for iPad on Amazon, get iced by Fire
Yes, Amazon sells the iPad 2. But do a search for it and the first thing you get is a comparison chart of the Kindle Fire vs. iPad 2 with the Fire looking like the winner.
Amazon is mostly an equal-opportunity seller, but when it comes to selling the iPad 2, it's a slightly different story.
Just trying keying in "iPad" or "iPad 2" into the Amazon search bar and you'll see what I mean. The first "sponsored" search result is a link to "Compare iPad 2 vs. Kindle Fire" that encourages you to a view a side-by-side comparison of key features.
Not surprisingly, the Kindle Fire either matches or bests the iPad 2 in most of those key features, taking losses in only the memory and battery-life departments. The kicker, of course, is the Kindle Fire costs $300 less than the Wi-Fi-only 16GB iPad 2.
I'd sure like to know how many people started out searching on Amazon for an iPad 2 and ended up with a Kindle Fire. I don't think Amazon is going to reveal that, but I'd bet it's a fairly large number.

Lakers Jazz Game 4
Carlos Boozer had a worse day than you
May 11, 2010, 8:29 AM EDT
If Carlos Boozer walked around singing some Boomtown Rats — "I don't like Mondays" — I would not blame him. And I'd give him a wide berth when I can across him. For the fourth game in the series he was utterly outplayed by Pau Gasol. Boozer was 4 of 11 from the floor and…
NBA Playoffs, Lakers Jazz Game 4: Utah, now all hope is lost. Officially.
May 11, 2010, 2:41 AM EDT
It's a simple but true basketball axiom — good tall will beat good small. The Jazz are good, they played hard and execute their offense well, but the Lakers were just a taller, longer team. A better team. In the first two games of the series Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom punished the…
NBA Playoffs, Lakers Jazz Game 4: It's over, but the Jazz want it to be over on their terms
May 10, 2010, 3:12 PM EDT
Three losses. By a total of 14 points. All where the Jazz had a fourth-quarter lead. That is a tough out. Tonight the Lakers look to sweep the Jazz in a series that is decided. The only thing not decided is how much the Lakers get before the Game 1 with the Suns next Sunday…
Will the Jazz trade a key player to keep Boozer? Probably not.
May 10, 2010, 11:41 AM EDT
The Utah Jazz will get some offseason help thanks to Isiah Thomas — he traded them the Knicks first round pick this year. But who to draft will be the easy question for the Jazz, the bigger question is what to do about free agent to be Carlos Boozer. Sign him? A sign-and-trade with another…

Hey I accidentally left my Black Hoodie at the Pavilion by hole 16, it says Camren's Mom on the back. Please give to DJ if Found, Thanks!!
Cody V July 29, 2014 at 2:12pm
Hey guys I seemed to have lost my wallet out there yesterday has anyone seen it at all? DJ told me someone picked it up and was trying to contact me
billy days July 11, 2014 at 1:14pm
Is it flooded or good
Forgot to mention there is a mud run and the park is closed to disc golf Friday and Saturday.
holes 5 and 6 are sketchy with water. 5 is playable is you feel comfortable 250 snd 6, last I checked, should be skipped. Fitz and Burchfield are both in great shape.
Dan Hultin July 7, 2014 at 8:53pm
Threw a Blue and yellow Z Stalker in the river on hole A, has my name and # on it. Hit a freaking tree in the middle of the fairway about 180-200 feet down and kicked straight right. Stupid hole. If anyone swims over there and finds it would love this back, $ for it.
Nate Upton March 28, 2014 at 9:19pm
I left an Orange Sparkle Archon on the ice on 12, its very visible, just out of my reach. Will give a reward for its return, its really special to me
Nate Upton March 28, 2014 at 3:53pm
Anyone know how playable it is out here? Are 5&6 under water?
commented about this last weekend, the river was HIGH but 5 and 6 were fine. I can't say if it's changed since then.
Yes 5 and 6 are pretty much entirely under water, and on 12 the water is almost to the basket, in addition 13 is pretty much unplayable due to water as well. I was out there today. And aside from all that, it's very soggy everywhere, still playable though for about 2/3 of the course.
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Guess I'll be playing elsewhere this weekend.
come on up to the Tri City man!
or come to Fitz and look for discs
I'm meeting someone at the woods to sell some plastic so I can play at Chipewa Banks tomorrow
Damn I played last thursday and 5 and 6 were fine besides Nam. The river is riding really high on 3 and 7. 8 had deep water on the right side, a couple pads were under water but that was about it. At this rate River's edge is next :(
5 & 6 were the only unplayable hloes. 9&13 are soggy, but playable.
I really wanted to come up for the Tri City, but it snuck up on me. I just reg'd for Angry Squirrel and LP Open.
I'd like to hit the Angry Squirrel, but I'm not sure yet.
Dan Hultin December 11, 2013 at 2:23pm
Got a white star valk with a blue world stamp on hole 6 last week. It was too thin for me but someone snagged it. Had my name and #. Also lost a champ valk on the ice too same situation had Either my name and # or Breant Beard with his # and a LED taped to it. Both on hole 6. Would really like the Star one back, parked hole 10 at Charlevoix with it, 660ft 10 ft from the basket.
Jake R November 18, 2013 at 1:30am
Hello all, I recently came from out of town to play this course on 11/16/13. While playing I lost my 2013 Ford car keys. If anyone found them or knows of someone who may have them please txt or call me. Also on the key ring is a silver bottle opener, O'Riley, and Walgreens card. I loved your course but miss my keys :( 734.751.9635 [email redacted]

Threw 2 discs in the **** water at Vietnam (Hole 5) yellow champ roadrunner hit 1st or 2nd tree at bottom of hill 20 ft from teepad and then my purple/pinkish echo boss, took the left hand route off the pad doing the forehand route. Has initials HPF on rim with my current cell # on the roadrunner but old # on the boss. Give to DJ and he will give you money and he'll return it to me. I'm hoping Floyd fished it out of the water and will be in my possession again soon.

I'll be at the woods most of the day if anybody wants to catch a round.

I was on my way back from Detroit to Grand Rapids, stopped to play this beautiful course, unfortunatley, I lost a Red 2012 Ace Race disc on hole 2, Sunday May 26. It has my name and phone number on the rim. It landed in the water on the left side of the fairway. The last time I played there that area was dry. If you recover it Please call me I will come and get it.

Hey locals, I need a little help. Thinking about a road trip from Detroit for a couple day of play. Are there three 18's here? Is the course still under water. I know the skeeters are likely bad, but that is everywhere right now. Thanks for any input.
There is just one course of 18 here. The other two courses were temp courses during a tourny. During the summer they will probably put the back 6 in for 24 total. It's wet and skeeters everywhere.
Thanks Dan, does anyone know if the bonus six are in. And what hole do they start after, I would hate to miss them.
Yea it's just one 18 hole course, the other two layouts are either previous layouts, or tournament setups. We have not played there in over a month for leagues, and a tournament we were supposed to have there 2 weeks ago was moved to burchfield. last time i checked only the quick 9 layout was n ... more
Yea it's just one 18 hole course, the other two layouts are either previous layouts, or tournament setups. We have not played there in over a month for leagues, and a tournament we were supposed to have there 2 weeks ago was moved to burchfield. last time i checked only the quick 9 layout was not flooded. some of it might have receeded a bit but several holes will have water levels that they normally dont. Also this is the course that is the buisiest on a nice day so if you do come out try to tee off before 3pm.
I would go to Burchfield instead!! One course has two tee pads and two baskets on every hole and then they just added a new course last year. You have to pay to pay but it is worth it!!
pay to play** opps lol
