SB-46 analysis: How California data breach notification law changed

the state's data breach laws to require notification if online account data is compromised. Assuming it becomes law, what's the best way to lay the groundwork for compliance efforts?
Ask the expert!
Got a vexing problem for Mike Chapple or any of our other experts? Ask your enterprise-specific questions today! (All questions are anonymous.)
Under California law, organizations that suffer a security breach are required to notify California residents when the security of their personal information may be affected. Until recently, the definition of personal information was limited to a full name (or first initial and last name) in conjunction with a sensitive data element, such as a Social Security number, driver's license number, medical records or financial account information.
SB-46, which recently became law after working its way through the California legislative process, expands these requirements to cover information that permits access to an online account. The specific language extends the law to include "a user name or e-mail address, in combination with a password or security question and answer that would permit access to an online account." SB-46 greatly increases the number of organizations required to comply with the California data breach notification law, as it affects virtually every website that provides user accounts.
Organizations should first identify activities that involve the handling of user account information. Using strong cryptography to protect this information, where practical, may provide both a good degree of security and protection from SB-46, as it likely applies only to the compromise of unencrypted information. At the same time, this may serve as an opportunity to review existing breach notification practices to ensure that they comply with the law in the jurisdiction(s) where an organization operates.

It's hard to see a player be out for an extended period of time for any reason, but the story of Marc Savard is especially painful. Concussed on a nasty hit by Matt Cooke on March 7th, 2010, and further concussed by Matt Hunwick the following January, Savard has hit roadblock after roadblock in his attempts to come back to the NHL. Monday over Twitter, Savard shared some of his personal thoughts.

Under Florida law, usury is defined as the willful and knowing charge or receipt of interest in excess of 18% per year for credit transactions involving less than $500,000 or between 25% and 45% per year in a credit transaction involving more than $500,000. The usurious nature of a contract is determined from the date of its inception. A mathematical computation alone is not sufficient; courts look beyond the form of the transaction and examine its substance to determine whether the transaction is, in fact, usurious.
Florida courts have developed a four-prong test to determine whether a transaction is usurious. There must be a (1) loan, express or implied, (2) an understanding between the parties that money loaned will be returned, (3) a greater rate of interest than is allowed by law was agreed to be paid, and (4) a corrupt intent to exact more than the legal rate of interest. The most disputed issue in usury cases is the requirement of a showing that the lender intended to charge interest in excess of the statutory maximum. A borrower need not demonstrate that the lender had any specific intent to violate the usury statutes, just that the lender intended to charge or exact interest in excess of the statutorily proscribed rates.
Lenders should always be alert for transactions that have the potential to become usurious, as the penalties available to a borrower under the usury statutes are severe and can involve forfeiture of the entire interest charged or contracted to be charged such that only the principal may be enforced. When unlawful usurious interest charges have actually been received, double the amount of usurious interest taken or received must be returned to the party from whom the interest was taken. Moreover, violation of the criminal usury statute may result in the forfeiture of the right to collect the entire debt. For this reason, some borrowers have raised usury as a defense to a mortgage foreclosure. Still, Florida cases have often permitted foreclosures in transactions "tainted with usury" by crafting alternate remedies, such as deducting the usury penalty from the principal balance of the loan.

Never underestimate the ingenuity, drive and entrepreneurial spirit of the American businessperson. Case in point: The enterprising owners of KaeperTat. Yep, any person who wants to be the coolest customer at the Super Bowl party they are attending can wow fellow party goers with temporary tattoos that mimic the real tattoos San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has inked upon his arms. And some close-up images of the three temporary tattoos: Pretty groovy. I know of one adorable little girl who will be asking her folks to fork out the cash for these bad boys. The tattoos retail for $8.99 apiece, but you can purchase all three for $19.99. And really, if you're going to go all KaeperTat crazy, go all the way. Really stick it to David Whitely, I say. An added bonus: KaeperTat's site also has Nad's for Men Hair Removal Strips available for $6.99. Once again, if you're going to cover your arms with temporary tattoos, you might as well go all out. [H/T The Fifth Down via KSK] TweetThe post Thanks to KaeperTat, people can buy temporary tattoos just like Colin Kaepernick's (pics) appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.

Sinton's Mitchell a finalist in Bay City
One of three finalists for the job, Mitchell joins La Grange's Wayne Walker and Red Oak's Danny Edelman as the remaining candidates. Bay City superintendent Richard Walton is confident any one of the choices can lead a Class 4A team that's been to the playoffs 24 of the past 29 years.
"We had a great group of applicants," Walton said. "This is my fourth time in 19 years to hire a head coach, and overall it was the best group of people I've interviewed since I've been doing this. It boiled down to these three guys. All three met the criteria we're looking for better than anybody else we talked to. I'm sure we're going to get a great coach."
Mitchell would not comment.
Walton said that Edelman, Mitchell and Walker will spend an hour and 15 minutes today answering more questions from Walton and a seven-member review committee. The group then plans to pick one finalist.
On Friday, Walton and assistant superintendent Hal Roberts will visit the nominee's campus before making a final recommendation. Walton said the school board is likely to name a new athletic director and head coach at a special meeting on Monday.
Sinton finished 4-7 last season after losing to Cuero in the first round of the 3A Division II playoffs.
Bay City began its search when Alan Cherry resigned in January. The Blackcats went 29-17 and made three trips to the playoffs in four seasons under Cherry, including the 2003 4A Division I state championship game.
Last year, Bay City went 2-8 - its worst finish since 1975 - and missed the playoffs for the first time in 11 years.

Safety and the Baby Boomer—Strategies for Managing the Safety and Health of an Aging Workforce
As Baby Boomers enter their 50s and 60s, companies are bracing for dramatic changes in U.S. workforce demographics, particularly as 44% of the U.S. workforce is expected to be 55 and older by 2020. While older workers are less likely to be injured on the job, those who are hurt often take longer to return to work at full capacity, driving employer concerns about keeping this population safe. This Business Insurance webinar will examine how companies can manage safety and health concerns for older workers through strategies such as schedule flexibility, wellness programs and ergonomic job accommodations. Speakers include: David L. Barry, Senior Vp, National Technical Director for Casualty Risk Control for Willis North America; Lance Perry, a Senior Ergonomist/Professional Engineer for Zurich Services Corporation; and Debbie Villegas, Human Resources Manager for Jordan Foster Construction.

Christian Borle to Play Dual Roles in NBC's PETER PAN LIVE Special?
Deadline writes that stage and screen star Christian Borle is in final talks to join NBC's PETER PAN LIVE as 'Smee' and 'Mr. Darling'. Borle will return for the network special from executive producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron on December 4, following his role as 'Max' in last year's THE SOUND OF MUSIC LIVE.
Borle won a Tony Award for his performance as 'Black Stache' in 2012's PETER AND THE STARCATCHER, so it's no stretch for him to join the roster of PETER PAN.
He will join previously announced Allison Williams as 'Peter Pan' and Christopher Walken as 'Captain Hook'.
Borle's other Broadway credits include Legally Blonde, Mary Poppins, Spamalot, Amour, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Jesus Christ Superstar and Footloose. He also starred in the musical TV series Smash.
The original Broadway production of "Peter Pan," directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins and featuring the iconic songs "I'm Flying," "I've Gotta Crow," "I Won't Grow Up," and "Never Never Land," opened on Broadway in 1954. The show had a book by J.M. Barrie and a score by Mark "Moose" Charlap & Carolyn Lee, with additional songs by Jule Styne & Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
It starred Mary Martin as Peter and Cyril Ritchard as Captain Hook, both of whom won Tony Awards for their performances. While Martin earned a Tony playing Peter on Broadway, other actresses have taken on the role for different Broadway productions. Sandy Duncan was the title character in the 1979 stage version and Cathy Rigby portrayed Peter throughout the 1990s on the Great White Way.
Martin and Ritchard reprised their Broadway roles in a live telecast of the production which aired on NBC in 1955. The production was so popular that NBC followed it in 1956 with a second live telecast -- and in 1960 with a videotaped version, both also starring Martin and Ritchard. The 1960 videotaped version was rebroadcast in 1963, 1966 and 1973 and was released on home video in 1990.

Mining Publication: Effect of Pressure on Leakage of Automatic Sprinklers
Original creation date: January 1993
The U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted a study to determine if commercially available automatic sprinklers could withstand the high static pressures in deep underground coal mines without leaking and if exposure to the mine environment affected their leak pressures. New sprinklers and sprinklers exposed to the mine environment were subjected to increasing pressures until leakage occurred. The average leak pressures of the new sprinklers ranged from 640 to 2,300 psig and were significantly different for sprinklers from different manufacturers and for different types of sprinklers. Generally, standard-response sprinklers withstood higher pressures than fast-response sprinklers. The results indicated that most commercially available sprinklers would withstand the high static pressures in deep underground coal mines; however, they would not provide the same reliability and safety factor as sprinklers used aboveground at or below their rated pressure of 175 psig. The average leak pressures of the sprinklers exposed to the mine environment ranged from 740 to 1,180 psig. The mine environment affected the ability of 66% of the sprinklers to withstand high static pressures. New sprinklers were also evaluated at pressures of at least 500 psig for 30 days to determine their ability to withstand long-term exposure to high static pressures; no leakage was observed.

Same engine as Shogun, so it runs bad on newer systems, either play on an old computer or a netbook, or skip this and go straight to Rome Total War, or Medieval 2 if you want to play in that time era. The game itself was A LOT of fun though.

Website of the day: Curio Design Studio
If you've ever thought about employing an interior designer, you may have realised early on that it's not necessarily going to be a straightforward process. You have to find the time to meet them and let them have a good look around the space you want remodelled. You have to wait for them to draw up plans and then you enter into the dreaded "feedback" phase, where what's in your head may or may not get translated into what the designer wants you to do. It's complex, time-consuming and not something that everybody can afford.
That's why we like curiodesignstudio.com. You simply draw up a plan of your space following the simple instructions, email it to them, choose your package and let their design team do the rest.
Depending on which package you choose, you'll get the opportunity to change what comes back, but you'll always receive a suggested colour palette, a furniture layout and a shopping list of stuff you might want to buy to complete the look. All delivered quickly, online and at affordable prices.
A great idea.

An Evening with RENT's Anthony Fedorov Set for Toshi's Living Room, 9/11
Anthony Fedorov, currently starring as "Roger" in off-Broadway's RENT revival at New World Stages, will perform his solo show "An Evening with Anthony Fedorov" September 11th, at Toshi's Living Room at the Flatiron Hotel, 9 West 26th Street. Showtime is 7:00 PM.
Anthony will be joined by guest singers including current RENT cast members, and backed by Jerry Jean (musical direction, piano), Paul Beaubrun (drums), and featuring Mario Sebastian (guitarist for Marc Anthony), with direction by Victor Lirio. Anthony will perform selections from his debut EP "Never Over" as well as musical selections from his recent stage roles including Joseph, The Fantasticks, Hairspray, RENT as well as an American Idol recap of songs he performed on the reality television competition that earned him 4th place.
Billed as: "An Evening with Anthony Fedorov" - Join Anthony Fedorov as he takes us through a musical journey after surviving a near fatal emergency tracheotomy as an infant, to his early musical influences of Marc Anthony, earning 4th place on American Idol, to personal loss, and eventual success as a rising Broadway leading man.
Tickets available for purchase online at http://anthonyfedorov.eventbrite.com/.
Roots play a big role in Anthony Fedorov's story. Whether it was emigrating from the Ukraine at the age of 9 or growing up in a family of musicians-a factor that led to his decision to dedicate his life to the arts-Anthony's roots and relationships are still the cornerstone of his creative process. From the stage of American Idol and the nationwide tour that followed to his role as Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat to the release of his debut EP "Never Over," Anthony continues to grow and evolve in his artistic journey.
During his teenage years Anthony Hoped and prayed like every up-and-coming artist for that "breakout" moment. In 2005 luck met preparation when he was selected for American Idol. To this day the only Ukrainian-born contestant on the show, Anthony's run on Idol gave audiences worldwide the rare gift of watching an artist develop and begin to find his voice in real time. Anthony's success on Idol – he earned 4the place, led to performances on other notable TV programs such as Ellen,The Tonight Show, and Regis & Kelly and allowed him to come into his own as a live performer on the American Idol Tour. On July 12th, 2005, Anthony performed for the first time in front of 20,000 people in Sunrise, Florida. Overcome by the intensity of the moment, he realized he was beginning a new chapter in his career. What followed was two months of intense touring in which he built an even larger fan-base thanks to performances in front more of more than 500,000 people across the country.

IBM donates computer centers to Porter Leath
Students get head start on donated computers
Just before the new school year began, IBM donated 12 Young Explorer computer learning centers valued at $31,200 to Porter-Leath to help 220 preschool children in Memphis learn and explore concepts in math, science and language. Young Explorer computers are housed in brightly colored, child-friendly Little Tikes furniture and equipped with award-winning educational software. Young Explorers are the centerpiece of IBM's KidSmart Early Learning grant program, which enriches prekindergarten curriculum with interactive teaching and learning activities using the latest technology.
The IBM donation comes at the right time for Porter-Leath, as the organization has partnered with three schools under the Achievement School District, including Frayser Achievement Elementary, Corning Achievement Elementary and Whitney Achievement Elementary. Also included in this partnership is Cornerstone Preparatory School, Aspire Public Schools and an extended collaboration with KIPP: Memphis Collegiate Elementary opening additional classrooms at their new Shannon Elementary location.
"With our newly formed partnership with the Achievement School District, we are thrilled IBM selected Porter-Leath for the donation," said Karen Harrell, vice president of early childhood services at Porter-Leath.
"IBM's and Porter-Leath's missions for early childhood education fit hand in hand. We've seen great success with Young Explorer computer centers in our Head Start schools and believe 12 more will be a great asset to at-risk children who otherwise would not receive an excellent preschool education."

Mike Woodson on the Atlantic Division: 'I expect us to win it this year'
Dec 27, 2013, 2:14 PM EDT
As Knicks coach, Mike Woodson is supposed to remain positive.
As a basketball blogger, I'm supposed to make fun of anyone who says anything positive about the woeful Knicks.
So, let's just get to it.
Woodson, via Al Iannazzone of Newsday:
"Do I see some light at the end of the tunnel? I do," Woodson said. "I think eventually we'll get to where we need to get as a ballclub. And I'm basing that on our last 12 games. Eventually we'll get healthy and we'll see how it all plays out.
"The beauty about all of this that we're going through is nobody's running away with it in our division and I'm pushing our team to win our division still. We won it last year and I expect us to win it this year."
Here are the Atlantic Division standings:
- Raptors, 11-15
- Celtics, 12-17
- Knicks, 9-19
- Nets, 9-19
- 76ers, 8-20
Sure, the Knicks still have a chance, but based on that, it's difficult to objectively predict New York will win the division.
Oh, oops. My mistake. Woodson is judging it by each each team's best 12-game stretch. That makes some sense, seeing which team has indicated the highest ceiling. How do the Atlantic teams rank with that method?
- Celtics, 8-4
- Knicks, 6-6
- Nets, 6-6
- Raptors, 5-7
- 76ers, 5-7
Nope. New York still isn't No. 1 that way.
But maybe Woodson specifically meant each team's last 12 games. You know, recent sample being more telling and all. In that case:
- Celtics, 6-6
- Knicks, 6-6
- Raptors, 5-7
- Nets, 5-7
- 76ers, 2-10
New York comes close, but it loses the tiebreaker to Boston, because the Celtics beat the Knicks during this span.
I just can't spin the numbers to put the Knicks in the diver's seat. But I guess that's not my job. It's Woodson's.
- johngalt1783 - Dec 27, 2013 at 2:39 PM
Here is another spin from the Raptors perspective.
1. Raptors 4-2 since the Gay trade in games in which acquired players played
2. Raptors with two wins in those six games against WC teams with a 24-2 home record before the Raptors beat them.
3. Raptors ranked 12th over all and 4th in EC according to Hollnger's Power Rankings
4. Raptors ranked 14th overall and 4th in EC according to Basketball Reference rankings with a SOS of .30 which will only go down with more EC games
5. Raptors with a Pythagorean win loss record of 13-13, again 4th in EC
The three teams ahead of the Raptors in the above rankings are Miama, Indiana and Atlanta.
So we shall see how it plays out. That is why they play the games.

Alan Scott Obituary
Here's a link to the New York Times obituary of that ubiquitous, self described "aging hippie" and oven pioneer Alan Scott: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/06/di...tml?ref=dining . No matter what type of oven each of us has, we owe him a moment to reflect on what he spent a lifetime doing.
Re: Alan Scott Obituary
Good eyes, Jim. Like most of us upon reading of the first report, I went searching. Hoping against hope it wasn't true. Damn.
Mr. Scott made playing with your food and FIRE very, very cool.
Re: Alan Scott Obituary
Yeah, thanks CJ!
Re: Alan Scott Obituary
We owe him a great debt of gratitude for helping us to rekindle one of life's simplest pleasures.
Alan Scott - OVENCRAFTERS
Re: Alan Scott Obituary
72 is such a young age; this is very sad. Alan did so much for our community, he loved what he did, and he brought so much happiness (and good bread) to so many. It sets me back to think about what the supermarket bread shelves looked like before the real bread movement (did we really eat that?) -- and Alan played such a big role in helping make that movement happen. I also think back to the first time I lit a fire in an oven built from Alan's plans, felt the heat and watched it work! What a thrill.
We have a lot to thank Alan for, and I wish his family all the best.
Re: Alan Scott Obituary
Thanks for posting the obit Jim - an interesting man, from the sound of it, who went too soon. A big loss for the oven community.
Interesting how his oven work first came about quite by chance, through a request for handles for an oven his friend, cookbook author Laurel Robertson, planned to build. (Her book, 'Laurel's Kitchen', was one of my very first cookbooks years ago!) Funny how it's often the random and seemingly small things that put your life on a whole new path!
Re: Alan Scott Obituary
He inspired me. Though I never knew him personally I feel a loss
Re: Alan Scott Obituary
Farewell to a true inspiration. The biggest lesson learned is community and all that it is.
Re: Alan Scott Obituary
May he rest in peace.

I have an Australian saddle, when I ride for any length of time, my mare turns pink wherever the saddle touches her. Not only where there is "pressure" but even where the lengths of the fenders and such are. The blanket is black, doesn't bleed (saddle doesn't technically touch her- it's thru the blanket). I thought perhaps since those areas are white, was just her skin showing thru her fur when sweating, but it lasts for days. It's not as bad where the girth is, but is a little bit evident in spots.
She appears to have sensitive skin- her coat is very, very thin in the summer and she easily looses hair with anything that rubs (beit me or equipment, or her) but she doesn't appear to be hurt or uncomfortable. Just turns bright pink for a few days.
Also, since she is prone to loosing hair wherever she is rubbed (including girth area, doesn't get sores unless being worked allot- and I avoid them) I was thinking of going with a "center-fire" rigging to pull the girth back a few inches. Anyone had any experience with this type of set up?
BTW- my horse just started riding, she's 4yo arabian/paint cross- so this pinkness and just simply new, but I don't know if she's had the issue "all her life" or just started- since she just started wearing a saddle couple of months ago (with any use).
Next time it happens, I will post pictures, but- it's pretty much just as I said. Just turns pink. Which I understand sweat/water makes white horse turn pink (skin shows)- but when she dries off, still pink. Not as much, but slowly fades over the course of a few days.

I feel like the steering in my p4de is losing some strength... I'm sure it's not the servo, it's the spring in the bellcrank:
Is there a way to add more tension in the spring? or maybe it's too used? Anyway, it wasn't this loose when my p4de was new so it's a problem.
Whatever shall I do?

Re: ***Official Dell 2405W & 2005FPW Deals, Feedback Thread***
ok another update. I've been doing more research into this USB problem I've been having. I changed some USB settings in the device manager that would have turned off my usb ports to save energy, just to test whether or not this was the culprit. this didnt help any.
well I have 2 dvd capable drives, I then realized that I was playing all my dvd's on the same dvd drive. I tried the second drive and I have and no more problems, since the mouse stops working only when the 1st drive is being used I'm thinking there might be an IRQ conflict. I'm still trying to figure out how I could check whether or not that hunch is correct so any help from you all would be appreciated.

In the quiet and picturesque town of Painters Mill, Ohio there is a thriving Amish community. These families have strong religious beliefs and shun the use of electricity, cars, and motorized farming equipment. They lead a simple life by relying on the land, and they have minimal interaction with outsiders. One would think such a peaceful place would be unfamiliar with the darker side of human nature, but sadly one would be mistaken. Linda Castillo has created an exciting mystery series situated in this bucolic setting, which has seen a crazed serial killer targeting both Amish and English women, a horrific home invasion, and hate crimes. The disappearance of young Amish teens is the focus of her latest release Gone Missing.
The Painter's Mill Sheriff's Department, though small, has a valuable and effective tool at its disposal to assist in solving crimes that involve the Amish. Her name is Chief Kate Burkholder, and along with her experience as a big-city law enforcement officer, she also was raised Amish. The plain folk have a natural distrust of law enforcement and few people are in the position to cope with the clash of cultures and ideals as Chief Burkholder.
Gone Missing is the fourth Amish mystery written by Castillo, though it is not necessary to read them in chronological order. In each, she provides a concise backstory that summarizes her protagonists' personal demons and the inner battle to keep them in check. Sworn to Silence, the first Kate Burkholder novel, is under production by the Lifetime network as a two-hour movie starring Neve Campbell, with the possibility of it becoming a regular series. Interesting, informative, and chilling, these mysteries may not represent a serene drive in the country, but they are definitely worth the trip.
Waiting for one's life to begin often means missing out on the present. In An Uncommon Education, Elizabeth Percer presents a reflective, coming-of-age story. Naomi Feinstein spends her childhood waiting for circumstances to change, especially hoping for more friends and freedom from her classmates' cruelty. As a young adult, she gradually comes to terms with her life, embracing both its imperfections and possibilities.
More than one person's reflections, however, this book is also an immigrant story and family saga. Naomi chronicles her lonely childhood with first-generation immigrant parents who were often in poor health. Her father was Jewish and her mother a Catholic who converted to Judaism, which furthers her feelings of isolation and confuses her sense of identity and where she belongs. Gifted with a photographic memory and fascinated from an early age with saving lives and curing illness, Naomi goes to Wellesley College to become a doctor. Her time at the school is heavily influenced by her initiation into a secret Shakespeare society comprised of students who are all unconventional or outsiders in some capacity.
Although a large part of this story takes place at a university, Naomi's true "education" is the life lessons she receives along the way, particularly when a scandal threatens her hard-earned friendships. Percer's writing is very poetic and lyrical. As a narrator, Naomi is smart and insightful, and as her character matures, so does her narrative style and thought process. Readers will relate to her journey, which is less heroic than it is a series of wrong turns and learning by trial and error. A good recommend for book clubs.
In Some Kind of Fairy Tale by Graham Joyce, we meet the Martin family, who has been devastated since their sixteen-year-old daughter Tara mysteriously disappeared twenty years ago. Searches were unsuccessful and her boyfriend Richie was accused but never charged. On Christmas Day Tara resurfaces looking just as she had twenty years before, spinning a seemingly implausible tale of a mysterious gentleman and a place in the woods that only allows access several times a year. Tara insists that only six months have passed, but her family remains twenty years older. The Martin family must decide to question the nature of reality, or question Tara's sanity. Some Kind of Fairy Tale takes an interesting spin on the contemporary fable and is definitely a unique read.
Another new and very different look at another world is the slightly darker Charlotte Markham and the House of Darkling by Michael Boccacino. It begins as a standard gothic piece with a large English country house, the master in mourning from the loss of his young wife, and an attractive governess hired to care for the two children. It soon becomes apparent that all is not as it seems in the town when the nanny of the boys is murdered, seemingly ripped apart by wild animals. Charlotte and the two boys are also having mysterious dreams about a man dressed entirely in black and a strange house through the mists where the boys' mother remains alive. When these dreams become reality, Charlotte finds herself playing a dangerous game, one that she must win for the sake of herself and the children. Both of these tales offer strong characters, suspense, mystery and an enticing other-worldly setting. Perfect for adults who want a bit of fairy magic and a fascinating tale that will sweep them out of reality into a world of dreams.
What do Skios by Michael Frayn, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce, and Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies have in common? Each has been included on the Long List of Great Britain's highly coveted contemporary fiction award, the Man Booker Prize.
Taking place on the private Greek island of Skios, blonde Nikki Hook is the coolly capable public relations rep for the prestigious Fred Toppler foundation. She is preparing for the arrival of, and fantasizing about, much vaunted guest speaker Dr. Norman Wilfred. Nikki's gal pal Georgie is heading to a secretive tryst at the other end of the island with dilettante playboy Oscar Fox. Lost luggage, mistaken identity, wrong rooms, taxi-driving brothers, and a language barrier all figure prominently in this farce, both comedic and satirical. Euphoksoliva, anyone?
Hobby-less Harold is recently retired. Seemingly estranged from his only son, on the very last nerve of his house-cleaning wife, and locked in desultory lawn care chats with his recently widowed neighbor, Harold needs a purpose. Purpose arrives via the mail in the guise of a brief letter from former co-worker Queenie Hennessy, who writes to let Harold know she is dying. Harold responds with a quick condolence note but instead decides that if he walks to see Queenie himself, she will survive. Marching along in yacht shoes and a neck tie, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry has Mr. Fry walking five hundred miles through England as he develops both blisters and perspective in this charming yet poignant tale.
Bring Up the Bodies is the sequel to Hilary Mantel's 2009 winner of the Booker Prize, Wolf Hall, and again features Thomas Cromwell. Now a powerful minister to Henry VIII, Cromwell's job is to clear out Anne Boleyn as Henry yearns to replace her with Jane Seymour. Written using present tense, the author offers a fresh view on Cromwell as a thoughtful reformer carrying out the wishes of the King. Mantel's skill in writing fascinating and suspenseful historical fiction is on display here, drawing in the reader despite the foregone conclusion. Mantel plans a third book which will complete the Thomas Cromwell trilogy.
Our genes can be likened to a story, and the gray, sticky paste of DNA is the language in which the story is written, according to Sam Kean, author of The Violinist's Thumb: And Other Lost Tales of Love, War, and Genius, as Written by Our Genetic Code. Kean relates the history and function of DNA and genes and their effect on collective and individual human development.
Watson, Crick, and Mendel are familiar names linked to DNA and gene theory but few people have heard of Thomas Hunt Morgan and his assistant, ladies' man Calvin Bridges, or Catholic Sister Miriam Michael Stimson. Kean fleshes out years of tedious research undertaken by lesser-known scientists that paved the way for the award-winning discoveries. RNA, DNA palindromes, Y chromosomes, and mitochondria—all hard science terms that could prove overwhelming—are balanced by Kean with humor and relatable anecdotes. DNA injury and resiliency is illustrated by the case of Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a man unfortunate enough to be exposed to the bomb detonation in Hiroshima, who then travelled to Nagasaki in time to be blasted again.
The Violinist's Thumb refers to virtuoso Niccolo Paganini, whose musical gifts were, in part, due to a genetic error inhibiting his body's ability to produce collagen; his disease allowed him to stretch his hands to perform amazing violin feats. Unfortunately it also contributed to his poor health and early demise. Kean explains how cat hoarding behavior can be linked to careless litter box cleaning, and cautions the reader to avoid eating a polar bear's liver should you find yourself stranded at the North Pole. The book ends by raising thorny questions about cloning and the implications of analyzing a single person's genome. Readers who enjoy popular science writing, such as Mary Roach's Stiff, will find a winner in The Violinist's Thumb.
Joe Paterno long identified with Virgil's reluctant Trojan hero Aeneas, who eschewed individual glory on his way to founding Rome. Aeneas fulfilled his destiny in a way that the late Penn State coach admired. Aeneas, like Paterno, was a team player. In his new biography, Paterno, author Joe Posnanski paints a complicated picture of the consummate team player and his rise and fall as a coaching legend.
Posnanski cleverly organized Paterno's story into five operatic acts, beginning with his success-driven upbringing in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, and concluding with the tragic repercussions of the 2011 Penn State sexual abuse scandal. By the end, and in a span of about three months, the winningest coach in college history had been consumed by scandal, cancer, and ultimately death.
Excellence and success meant different things to Joe Paterno. Examples of both are in plentiful supply in Posnanski's book. There are anecdotes and testimonials but also contradictions. A former writer for Sports Illustrated, Posnanski visualized a different book when he was granted full access to Paterno last year. Then the Jerry Sandusky case erupted. A chapter entitled "Sandusky" explores the emotional armor of these powerful men. Apparently there was no love lost between the two. There are some interesting sidebars about Paterno's impressions of the second most popular coach in Happy Valley.
Although the author's tone is generally sympathetic, it is still a white-hot topic as to why Paterno, a lifelong rule follower who valued his young men, did not step up for those most vulnerable. "One of Paterno's great strengths, and perhaps one of his great flaws was his fierce loyalty and absolute trust in the people closest to him," according to Posnanski. That observation remains the crux in evaluating the aggregate of a remarkable 46-year career that reached the pinnacle of heights before plunging to the depths of misery.
Like the heroine of her new novel The Next Best Thing, bestselling author Jennifer Weiner thought that it was a dream come true when she was approached to co-create a sitcom featuring a plus-sized heroine trying to break into show business. Although State of Georgia was short-lived, Weiner used her experiences in the television industry to create her new novel.
Readers first met Ruth Saunders in the short story "Swim" in Weiner's The Guy Not Taken: Stories. After losing her parents in an accident that permanently scarred her, Ruth was raised by her grandmother. During her recovery from her injuries, Ruth and her grandmother found comfort in their favorite TV shows, like The Golden Girls. After she finished college, Ruth and her grandmother moved to Hollywood to chase Ruth's dream of writing television shows. Now, Ruth has worked her way from glorified gofer to the creator of her first TV show, The Next Best Thing, a sitcom based loosely on her own life.
Ruth struggles with the process of shooting the pilot and first season of her show. As the show evolves, she watches her heartwarming comedy about an average girl breaking in to the restaurant business with the love and support of her grandmother change into another show entirely. Cady, the famous actress that the network forced Ruth to hire to play the plus-sized heroine, suddenly diets her way to a size 0. Network politics force her to fire actors that she thinks are right for the show, and the character based on her grandmother is rewritten as an oversexed cougar. Is this really the career she has always dreamed of? Weiner's Hollywood-insider perspective and warm humor make readers cheer for Ruth's chance to have it all.
Weiner is known for connecting with her readers via social media. Fans can follow her on Twitter (@JenniferWeiner), where she live-tweets reality TV shows like The Bachelor and shares her favorite new books with her readers.
Theodora Saxby is The Ugly Duchess in Eloisa James' fourth Regency fairy tale inspired by Andersen's The Ugly Duckling. All her life she's been told that her looks are less than impressive, and she knows that her only chance at marriage will be to snag a fortune hunter. When she sets her sights on Geoffrey Trevelyan, she enlists the help of her best friend, James Ryburn, the Earl of Islay. She wants James to pretend to court her so Geoffrey will be forced to propose. But the close contact creates sparks between these two friends and when it is James who asks for her hand, Theo follows her heart.
But a fairy tale wouldn't be complete without a villain, and in this story it's James' father, the Duke of Ashbrook. The Duke had amassed gambling debts which threatened the future of the estate and he forced his son to marry Theo for her money. Basking in the glow of newlywed happiness, Theo overhears James and his father arguing and quickly realizes that is was her money that led James down the aisle. Theo banishes James from their home and demands that he leave England. She then reinvents herself and becomes a glittering society swan. For seven years, Theo lives independently and in-demand without any idea of the whereabouts of her husband. When James finally returns, he is changed physically (he's got a tattoo!) and emotionally, but remains steadfast in his desire to reclaim his beautiful wife who he always saw as a swan.
Eloisa James has created another enchanting fairy tale love story with two passionate characters, a touch of wit, and a happily ever after. Lucky local fans can meet Eloisa in person at Nora Roberts' Turn the Page Bookstore in Boonsboro, where she'll be signing with Nora and several other authors on September 15th from noon until two o'clock.
"Albert had come to the conclusion that the key to survival in Old Australia was in picking a criminal element you liked and sticking with it."
Albert of Adelaide is tired of his life. He is bored by his daily routine, the same meals over and over, the same neighbors arguing and complaining, the same people gawking at him day in and day out. He longs for freedom and adventure, to experience life as it was meant to be lived. He gets his chance when an inattentive staffer fails to lock his cage and Albert the platypus breaks out of the Adelaide Zoo, beginning his journey toward self-discovery.
Following tales and legends, Albert begins his search for "Old Australia," a place where animals rule themselves and humans do not interfere. Along the way, he makes friends as well as enemies. Even among the animals Albert is a curiosity, which proves to be both an advantage and disadvantage for him. Curiosity soon turns to fear, and Albert must learn the difficult lesson that not everyone nice is inherently good and not every criminal is inherently bad.
Debut novelist Howard Anderson has created a thought-provoking and entertaining story. Comparisons to Watership Down or even Animal Farm are inevitable, but Albert is much more reminiscent of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The Wild West language and shoot 'em up simplicity of Old Australia draws the reader in, with many laugh-out-loud moments to enjoy. The supporting characters are a literal hoot, namely the pyromaniac wombat and a pair of drunken bandicoots. Albert of Adelaide is recommended for fans of westerns, animal stories, or anyone who likes a good laugh.
Who knew that the world of high school cheerleading could be so fascinating? Dare Me by Megan Abbott is a chilling tale that needs to be read in one sitting. Abby Hanlon is lieutenant to cheerleading captain Beth Cassidy. The two women are used to the status quo, the hierarchy of high school. Things change as their coach leaves and is replaced by Colette French, a young coach who begins to push the girls to their limits, turning them into champions. She gathers the young women into a cohesive unit, urging them to work together to go farther and fly higher. Colette presents herself as a mentor and a friend to the girls. She invites them to her house, often neglecting her husband and daughter. She supplies them with alcohol and berates them about weight issues. Colette sees no need for a team captain, which doesn't sit well with Beth, who is used to being top dog. Beth becomes sullen and resentful, and Abby seems caught in the middle. Then an apparent suicide rocks the town, threatening to reveal squad secrets. A power struggle ensues that threatens to tear apart the squad, and the reader wonders who will survive the fallout.
Though the setting of Dare Me is high school, the intense theme makes it a book for older teens and adults. Abbott captures the cheerleading world perfectly. She describes the moves and tricks, the training, the blood, sweat and tears. She explores what happens when you are no longer accepted by the group, and the darkness and desperation of the human heart. Dare Me is a journey that is not easy, but once begun will need to be read to its intense conclusion.
