That man is John "Liver-Eating" Johnson, sometimes spelled Johnston, who was portrayed by Robert Redford in the classic film Jeremiah Johnson. I couldn't put the book down, and despite the brief time I spent with its 128 pages, the story has yet to release me from its grip.
The audacious storyline is accompanied by a commentary on our educational system as it is today. Its message is this: Perceptive and imaginative teachers can turn lives around. Standardized tests have their place, but teachers, administrators and caring citizens need to take charge of our educational system.
In 1973, Robinson tells us, he was a new teacher in a small California town. Nervously facing his seventh-graders, he told them he was going to try to run a different kind of class. Instead of relying completely on dry, standardized textbooks, he said he'd also try to deliver "living history" lessons. To do that, he began coming to class dressed up as various characters from U.S. history, occasionally bringing along three-dimensional illustrations, such as his Bowie knife and muzzle-loading rifle. Both made it into the classroom -- try that nowadays!
One of his lessons focused on the story of the man called John "Liver-Eating" Johnston, who roamed the wilderness alone until a local Flathead tribal chief, concerned about his loneliness, gave him an Indian wife. After Indians murdered his wife and unborn child, Johnston blamed the tragedy on the Crow Indian Nation, launching a vendetta that lasted decades and gave him his moniker – he was said to eat the livers of the Crow Indians he killed for revenge.
Finally, he buried the proverbial hatchet and made peace with the Crow. Robinson ended the lesson with the story of Johnston's death and burial at a veteran's cemetery, next to what is now a busy freeway in Los Angeles. When they heard this, Robinson's 25 students became outraged. This was an injustice, they said; they felt he should have been buried in the Absaroka country of Wyoming that he loved.
The class launched a drive to have Johnston's remains exhumed and reburied, a mission that took the rest of the school year, reached the highest levels of the U.S. State Department, and was seized upon by newspapers and television nationwide. After Jeremiah Johnson became a huge hit in movie theaters, a Montana town even resorted to subterfuge in an attempt to whisk away Johnston's remains, rather than see him buried in Wyoming. When Johnson was at last reburied in Cody, Robert Redford flew in with his son to pay tribute.
In 2000, by sheer accident, I found myself at Johnston's gravesite during a visit to Cody, where I stumbled across the Trail Town Mountain Man Cemetery. I remembered the reburial ruckus but had forgotten where he'd ended up. A bronze statue of Johnston on horseback stood proudly above the resting places of all the mountain men buried there. Preserved 19th century buildings lined the dusty street of Trail Town, next to the cemetery.
Yes, he ended up in the right place. And the students who fought to have him buried there were profoundly changed by their experience. The group remains connected today, 40-plus years after the events Robinson described took place.
Now, as the world unfurls around me each day, I find myself measuring its progress, or lack thereof, against the events set in motion by a group of seventh-graders back in 1973. I think of the experience of many students in school nowadays. I see them walk through metal detectors into crowded classrooms where some spend much of the day staring into computers. I see their overworked and underpaid teachers focusing on test scores; they have no choice, if they want to keep their jobs. I visualize scenes of Western history coming vividly alive from the book I just read, and I think: There's a better way.

Every year in America, cats, many of them well-fed pets, kill about 12.3 billion mammals and 2.4 billion birds. When you open the door, your friendly furry feline transforms into a miniature terrorist. It's as if outdoor domestic cats are an invasive species, predators that are pampered and subsidized by doting owners.
Feral cats are an even bigger problem. In the United States, there are some 60 million unwanted cats. No wonder: With a survival rate of 2.8 kittens per litter with continued breeding, two cats can become 3,822 cats in just four years.
Frankie belongs to my neighbors. We live in a small southern Idaho community, surrounded by sagebrush foothills and lots of wildlife. A marsh hosts red-winged blackbirds and assorted ducks. Deer wander past my window daily, as well as the occasional red fox, and quail and pheasant calls fill the air. Red-tailed, Swainson's, sharp-shinned, and Cooper's hawks all share the sky with a golden eagle, though not at the same time. The Cooper's is a particular fixture; I occasionally see him dining on a finch but don't begrudge him his meal. After all, he's a native.
That's where Frankie comes in. His owner opens the door for this well-fed, neutered cat and the carnage begins. First, he digs up my flowerbed to relieve himself, then he hunts.
He bags about a bird a day. I saw him snatch a finch last week; the following day a quail succumbed to his ambush. Now that it's summer, the quail bring their fuzzy chicks to my yard, where I've scattered seeds for them. Last year, we had 36 chicks every day. But now the quail are afraid. I hear their alarm calls and always spot Frankie skulking in the bushes.
Of course, an easy solution exists for the house cat problem. Got a pet cat? Keep it in your house -- forever. The Humane Society says indoor cats live much longer and healthier lives than outdoor cats: 18–20 years, vs. 3–4 years. My indoor-only cat lived nearly 19 years. Outdoors, cats can be bitten by other cats, killed by vehicles or predators, infected by sick cats, stolen or simply lost. For all these reasons and more, animal welfare organizations urge all cat owners to keep their pets inside.
And what about being considerate or even neighborly? Frankie and friends know no property boundaries, yet their owners don't seem to care. Most dog owners know it's not right to let a dog poop in a neighbor's yard, and that includes even a very small dog.
So before you open the door to let your cat out -- wait. Think about the wildlife your cat kills. Think about your neighbor's yard. Get a litter box. Be responsible for your cat. You can't solve the feral cat problem alone, but each of us can solve the problem of the cats we own. Let's make it not OK to let your cat out so it runs loose.
Domestic animals by definition are not meant to run wild. We contain them behind fences or by other means, both for their protection and to promote civility. As fences cannot contain felines, a responsible cat owner keeps a cat in the house.
With the encouragement of my town council president, I've placed a letter on every doorstep in my neighborhood explaining why cats belong indoors, and informing cat owners that any cats on private property can be picked up and taken to the animal shelter. Frankie's not the only hunter in the neighborhood: About 25 pet cats hunt in our marsh or other backyards.
Despite phone calls, notes on the door and requests from the town council, however, Frankie's owners still let him out. So yesterday Frankie made his first trip to the animal shelter, purring in my lap. I admit I felt horrible doing this, but I also felt that his avian carnage must stop. His owners will now have to make the same hour-long drive that I did, plus pay about $40 to bail him out. I'm prepared to do this indefinitely so the wildlife here can live in peace. Today, as I type, six adult quail with perhaps 20 chicks are scurrying through the grass outside my window. Their feline stalker is away, at least for now.

The media drives this impression, and your cover showing the American flag flying on the back of a boat of a presumed far-right-winger on Lake Coeur d'Alene re-emphasized it. I sure don't want to see right-wingers "own" the American flag; it's supposed to represent all Americans.

But in "Heard Around the West," you vastly oversimplified the story in Venice, Calif. In the last few years, the streets have filled with RVs piled sometimes two- and three-stories-high with assorted possessions and, frankly, junk. The people living in them cook and defecate in the street, and, before driving away, sometimes dump enough junk to fill a living room, floor to ceiling.
But there's a solution other than eviction: Groups have proposed allowing these people to park overnight in lots normally reserved for summer beach parking. This would give them a legal place to park and live, freeing up the neighborhood streets. So far, the Coastal Commission and city have not been able to agree, so the problem continues.

Maybe you would be willing to reprint something else Bowden wrote, which nobody else seems to be able to do.
Bowden often writes soaring words in praise of the Southwest's natural beauty, but he doesn't mince words when it comes to explaining how the Colorado Plateau was largely emptied of wildlife 160 years ago. As a freelance author of several magazine articles on visiting remote areas in Utah and Arizona, I have tried to include a historic excerpt from his Stone Canyons of the Colorado Plateau in each, only to see it removed each time. It concerns actions supervised by the prominent Mormon John D. Lee, and I'm not talking about the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Sometimes truth is ugly:
"In 1848, almost a decade before (Lee's) actions at Mountain Meadows, he supervises a hunt suggested by Brigham Young to rid the area of wolves, wild cats, skunks, minks, bears, mountain lions, coyotes, eagles, crows, ravens, and hawks. Two teams of about one hundred men each set out to slaughter with a point system agreed upon to determine the champion. Between fourteen and fifteen thousand animals are killed with Lee himself accounting for 2,043 'skelps.' "
Looking back, although repulsed, I understand why these settlers behaved as they did. Attempting to stay alive in a harsh landscape, they didn't want to have to deal with any predators. They also wanted to quickly populate and claim their land, so polygamy, large families, and planned settlements were the most efficient ways to do that. Something about Bowden's writing, though, cuts through it all and lets you see it as it is -- same with this article on Mexico.

Total: 6.5
MLB Betting Game Trends
Tampa Bay Rays
- Tampa Bay is 4-2 SU in its last 6 games
- The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Tampa Bay's last 10 games
- The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Tampa Bay's last 6 games on the road
- Tampa Bay is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games on the road
- The total has gone OVER in 8 of Tampa Bay's last 10 games when playing Oakland
Oakland Athletics
- Oakland is 9-2 SU in its last 11 games
- The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Oakland's last 7 games at home
- Oakland is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games at home
- Oakland is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games when playing Tampa Bay
- The total has gone OVER in 8 of Oakland's last 10 games when playing Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay continues to battle for a spot in the postseason with 4-2 record in its last six games on the road that has it two games out of a wildcard spot. The Rays are 53-49 overall and just over .500 on the road at 25-24. The total has stayed 'under' in nine of their last 10 games.
Runs have been hard to come by over the past few weeks for Tampa Bay so it is easy to see why it is ranked 11th in the AL in scoring. Fortunately, the Rays still have one of the best pitching staffs in the league and are ranked second only to Oakland with a team ERA of 3.57. They will send David Price to the mound to get this series started. The left-hander is 14-4 in 20 previous starts with a 2.57 ERA. He held Baltimore to one earned run on seven hits his last time out to earn his sixth win in his last seven starts. Price is 2-1 against the A's with a 3.62 ERA.
Oakland has been one of the hottest teams in the Majors in the month of July and despite going 2-2 in its last four games, it is has gone 12-3 since the All-Star break. The Athletics are now just 4.5 games in back of Texas in the AL West and currently holding one of the wildcard spots for the postseason. They are 29-21 at home this season and the total has gone 'over' in four of their last seven games.
The Athletics' 3.44 team ERA in tops in the AL, but offense remains a concern for this team as well. Through 101 games, they are ranked dead-last in the AL in scoring with an average of just 4.06 runs per game. Oakland will go with AJ Griffin as its starter for tonight's game. The rookie has won his last three starts while giving-up a total of five earned runs. Overall, the right-hander has an ERA of 2.25 in six total starts with a 0.97 WHIP.
This game should remain a tight, low-scoring affair right into the late innings with two quality starters on the mound. The Rays have struggled in the past winning in Oakland with a 16-41 record in their last 57 games here and drop the first game of this series as well. Oakland 3 Tampa Bay 2

I Feel Like It's Springtime
Feb 1, 2013
It is the last day of January, but today carried the first hint of springtime. It's the best time of year, when we're the furthest away from when wintertime sets in again. It's time for me to start hiking up the trails in these hills again.

A detector of an electro-optical mouse having two linear arrays of detector cells at right angles to each other. One linear array images a line and a space in the X direction, while another linear array images a line and a space in the Y direction. Changes in contrast level indicate line crossings. Each linear array has four cells, adjacent cells being 90° out-of-phase with each other. By pairing first and third cells and second and fourth cells of each linear array, then subtracting the output of these, a 180° shift between the cells enhances discrimination of lines and spaces. Lines may be of two colors, or of a single color with optically contrasting line intersections, so long as a total of three contrast levels can be observed by the detector. Counting means is provided for counting line crossings so that observed detector motion on the surface can be made to correspond to cursor motion for a video display.
1. An optical mouse detector system comprising,
a surface having two sets of lines, one set intersecting the other, with spaces therebetween, each set having a characteristic color and a pre-determined width, the lines and spaces having three levels of contrast, including a first level for the lines, a second level for intersections of the lines and a third level for the spaces,
two linear arrays of detector cells movable relative to the surface, each linear array capable of imaging one line and one space from the surface, with one linear array parallel in orientation with one of said two sets of intersecting lines, the second linear array parallel in orientation with the other set, said detector cells having optical means associated with two adjacent detector cells in the same linear array for imaging the width of one line which is a member of the set of lines not parallel to the detector array containing said two adjacent cells, and
means movable over the surface for measuring contrast differences, said means having inputs from two non-adjacent detector cells in the same linear array, said means having an output indicative of contrast differences for signalling line crossings corresponding to changes in contrast differences.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said two sets of lines have different transparent colors.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said two sets of lines have the same color, but intersections of said lines have a different color.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the number of cells in each linear array is four.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein the two linear arrays overlap on one common cell so that the total number of cells is seven.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the image produced on the cells in one linear array is equal in size to the image produced on the cells in the other linear array.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the image produced on the cells in one linear array is unequal in size to the image produced on the cells in the other linear array.

This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 264,478, filed May 18, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,390,873, issued June 28, 1983.
A mouse is a pointing device, typically for use with visual display systems in which a transducer converts translational motion of a housing into a position signal for controlling the movement of a cursor associated with a visual display system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a detector for interpreting the position of the housing over a grid of lines.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,364,035 a mouse is disclosed movable over a two-color grid of lines on a reflective surface. The lines are made with optically transmissive inks and are illuminated by a dual color monochromatic light source, such as a two-color LED, which rapidly and continuously switches from one color to the other. The colors of the light source are selected to match the spectral transmissivity of the two-color grid on the surface. Typically a set of parallel, equally spaced lines would have one color and an orthogonal set of parallel, equally spaced lines would have another second color with white or metallic reflective surfaces between lines. An illuminated surface area is imaged onto a light detector, within a housing movable over the surface. During illumination by light of one color, the detector distinguishes lines only of the other color, which appear dark against the reflective field. As the focal area within the housing crosses lines, the detector senses changes in contrast ratio and generates electrical signals representing the line crossings. If the lines are arranged in a grid, line crossings of one color may represent horizontal distance, while line crossings of the other color represent horizontal distance. The crossings may be counted by X and Y registers for controlling a cursor.
The same patent describes an alternate embodiment of the invention wherein two sources and a plurality of detector cells are provided. Instead of switching colors in a dual color source, a first pair of detector cells is sensitive to one color, while another pair of detector cells is sensitive to the opposite color. For example, two cells may be aligned for horizontal right and left detection, while two perpendicular cells may be aligned for vertical up and down motion detection. Unlike the previously described embodiment, this embodiment requires no clocking of the source and detector.
In the aforementioned patent, it was necessary to take the detected signals and compare them against a common reference signal from a voltage source, known as a threshold voltage. The threshold voltage might be set by a microprocessor. Disadvantages of this absolute threshold technique include inability to compensate for wide component variation, low signal-to-noise ratio and difficulty in establishing the threshold.
An object of the invention was to eliminate the use of the threshold signal and simplify electrical circuits required to read detector cells. Another object was to obviate the need for highly reflective lines by improving the signal-to-noise ratio of detection circuits for an optical mouse.
The above objects have been achieved with a detector cell configuration for an electro-optical mouse which uses two pairs of detector cells for each direction, each double pair aligned in a linear array. As the mouse moves over a grid surface, the lines and spaces of the grid are imaged onto the detector cells so that each cell is 90° out-of-phase with respect to its adjacent cells. The first and third cells, which are 180° out of phase with respect to each other are subtracted in a difference amplifier to give one signal. The second and fourth cells, which are 180° out of phase with respect to each other, are subtracted to give a second signal. This second signal is 90° out-of-phase with respect to the first signal. Phase shifts are determined by controlling line and space widths relative to the area imaged by each detector cell. Two adjacent cells are able, and only able, to image a space or line, while the next adjacent cell images the opposite of these, thereby creating a 180° out-of-phase signal in the third cell relative to the first cell and in the fourth cell relative to the second cell.
This "differential technique" can be extended to two-dimensional tracking by using a multi-color grid pad. One cell may be shared so that only 7 cells are required. Because we are using a differential scheme, the reflective surface may be printed in a variety of ways, e.g. blue horizontal lines and black vertical lines or black horizontal lines and black vertical lines such that at the intersection, the intensity is "doubly black." Hence, only one color of light is required in this case.
In summary, the use of multiple shades of color on the pad distinguishes this technique from all other techniques. Three levels of contrast are required: two for the lines and one for the spaces. The use of differential signals allows greater freedom in the choice of light sources and line colors.
Another method is to use a single color of light and a single color of lines. However, the intersection of the lines must be darker than the lines themselves. Since the detector uses a differential technique, the orthogonal set of lines appears as a common-mode signal. Once again, three levels of contrast are required: one for the lines, one for the intersections and one for the spaces.
Alternate pairs of cells are aligned in the same direction and are connected to the same difference amplifier for measuring contrast differences. By this means of connection, threshold voltages are eliminated. By providing four cells in one direction and four cells in an orthogonal intersecting direction, two pairs of output signals may be provided, one pair corresponding to horizontal right and left; and a pair corresponding to vertical up and down. These are the same outputs which are regarded to be standard for most mice. Such signals are suitable for controlling a cursor or the like.
FIG. 1 is a side view of an electro-optical mouse having a detector in accord with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a portion of a grid pattern for use with the apparatus of FIG. 1, indicating the relative size of the area observed by the detector cell array of FIG. 1 in relation to the grid pattern.
FIG. 3 is an electrical diagram of a circuit used with the seven cell detector of FIG. 2.
With reference to FIG. 1 an optical mouse 11 includes a housing 13, containing a light source 15 as well as a detector 25. The housing is gripped by human hand and pushed in any direction over a surface 17, corresponding to the direction and extent to which it is desired to move a cursor or similar device. Housing 13 fits in the palm of a hand and has low friction feet 19 which contact surface 17.
Source 15 is a light emitting diode, LED, which is aimed downwardly at a spot 20 on surface 17. The source must be a color of light such that two colored sets of lines forming a line pattern on the surface appear differently at the detector. For this purpose two sources are preferred, each having a different color. Alternatively, a single source alternating between two colors could be used. One source color should be highly absorbed and only slightly reflective by one set of lines but not the other which only lightly absorbs and moderately reflects this source. The other source color behaves similarly, but with high light absorption by the second set of lines. Since only lines of moderate reflectivity are seen by multiple detector cells, such cells may be paired, with each member of the pair detecting one of the sets of lines.
Source 15 is a light emitting diode which is mounted in a supporting tube 21. Detector 25 is mounted in a light tight tube 23 having a lens 24 focussing on spot 20. Lens 24 directs light reflected from spot 20 onto detector 25. The detector puts out electrical signals, corresponding to optical signals which are received on lines 27.
FIG. 2 shows a portion of the surface 17. The surface consists of a grid of lines having one or two transparent colors over a white or reflective background. One set of spaced apart lines, vertical lines 31, has a first color. Another set of spaced apart lines, horizontal lines 33, has a second color. The images of the lines formed by the linear detector cell array are such that the images span the dimension of two lines in each direction. In other words, two cells, or rather the corresponding area imaged by two cells, spans the width of one space or line and the next two cells in a row span the width of the next line or space. Cells one and three cannot image the same line or space, but must image a line and a space. The same holds true for cells two and four. Cells one through four form a linear array, with two orthogonal linear arrays needed for X-Y motion encoding. The two orthogonal arrays can share a common cell if the two arrays overlap. Four cells in a row image contrasting lines completely. Cyclically this corresponds to 360°, with each detector receiving an optical signal 90° out of phase relative to an adjacent cell in the same row. The vertical lines 31 and the horizontal lines 33 have approximately the same width. The spaces 32 between lines have a color which is distinguishable from the lines in terms of contrast at the detector and a width approximately equal to the line width. Typically, the line width would be a few tenths of a millimeter, so long as the line is imaged by two adjacent cells.
The two colors of the grid may actually be the same color if the intersections are a different color. This is necessary to afford contrast between an intersection and an adjacent grid line if it has color. In all instances, three levels of contrast are necessary. In one case the three levels are achieved by two different, transparent colors of lines and by spaces between lines. In another case, the three levels are achieved by lines of the same color, intersections of a different color due to overlap, and spaces between lines.
One disadvantage of this single color technique is that if the mouse is rotated more than 45°, the axes switch (i.e., the horizontal cells sense vertical motion). A greater degree of rotation insensitivity may be obtained by using different line widths for the horizontal versus vertical lines, e.g. horizontal lines are 1 mm wide with 1 mm between lines and vertical lines are 0.5 mm wide with 0.5 mm between lines. The images on the detector cells would be asymmetric, as would the detector cells themselves.
In the case of two colors of lines, each detector array is filtered so that it images at one intensity level only the lines it is supposed to observe and the other lines and spaces are imaged at another intensity level. The detector array is formed by two rows of cells 43 and 45, extending in directions which correspond to the directions of the vertical and horizontal grid lines 31 and 33 in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, the detector cells are greatly enlarged, the cells may be transistors of a CCD array. While there is no upper limit to the number of detector cells which may be used for purposes of the present invention, the lower recommended limit is seven cells, with a single common cell in both row 43 and row 45. If there is no sharing of such a cell, eight cells are needed.
FIG. 3 shows the electrical connection of cells. Each of the difference amplifiers 37, 38, 39 and 40 is connected to a pair of cells. Difference amplifier 37 is connected to the cells 51 and 53. Difference amplifier 38 is connected to the alternate cells 52 and 54. Difference amplifier 39 is connected to cells 61 and 63. Difference amplifier 40 is connected to the cells 53 and 64. By connecting alternate cells to a difference amplifier, there is sufficient spacing between cells so that when one cell of a pair is detecting a line, the other is detecting an adjacent space. If adjacent cells were connected to a difference amplifier, it might be possible for both cells to be detecting a line or a space, but this is not the case. The spacing of the cells should be such that alternate cells cannot both simultaneously detect a line. If spaces are of the same dimension as lines, two alternate cells should not be able to simultaneously detect a space. Accordingly, the present detector cell pattern is adapted to detect line crossings by distinguishing contrast ratios of lines and spaces, contrast being enhanced by subtraction of out of phase signals. Intersections of lines retain the characteristic color of line pattern being seen in the detector array.
Optical signals representing differences in reflectivity are picked up by the cells and transmitted along corresponding lines to the difference amplifiers where electrical subtraction occurs. For example, cells 51 and 53 transmit electrical signals along lines 71 and 73 to difference amplifier 37. Cells 52 and 54 transmit electrical signals along lines 72 and 74 to difference amplifier 38. Cells 61 and 63 transmit electrical signals along lines 75 and 77 to difference amplifier 39. Cells 53 and 64 transmit electrical signals along lines 76 and 78 to difference amplifier 40. The difference amplifiers generate output signals along output lines 81, 82, 83 and 84. These output signals correspond to horizontal left and right and vertical up and down signals. These are denominated HA HB and VA and VB, respectively.
If two colors of illumination are used, for example from twocolor LEDS, and only one detector is used, then the detector is time multiplexed between the LEDS using a clock signal. A latch circuit 85 has latches 86, 87, 88 and 89 electrically connected to respective difference amplifiers 37, 38, 39 and 40. The output from the difference amplifiers are held within the latch circuit until requested by means of the clock signal along line 91. The latches signals, indicative of line crossings, are transmitted to counters 93 which are commercially available and exemplified by a computer manufactured by LISP Machine, Inc. of Cambridge, Mass. or computers manufactured by Xerox Corporation and BBN of Cambridge, Mass. These computers are known to accept a code for many mechanical mice and the present code is identical to that produced by such mice. The output of counters 93 is then fed to a cursor which is displayed on a video display or video terminal.
It should be noted that in the present invention diagonal motion of the mouse is not a problem because horizontal and vertical motions are completely orthogonal and separately reported. Note that the difference amplifiers 37 and 38 are dedicated to detecting motion in the horizontal direction. Similarly, difference amplifiers 39 and 40 are dedicated to the vertical direction.
The detector array is shown to be connected to difference amplifiers. However, individual cells could be connected to other sensors which establish contrast differences. Such contrast differences are interpreted as line crossings and the count of such line crossings establishes cursor motion.

Possibly my favorite of Sarah M. Eden's books. Nicely paced and well-written, I loved both of the main characters--and especially the way their backgrounds bring so much depth to the story. The romance is engaging and believable, and I loved the relationship between Marion and the little girl. I had to smile every time I read the name Flip. Eden does a great job researching her facts, and she really brings Regency England to life in an enjoyable and accessible way. Sometimes Regency Romances try too hard to sound Austenesque, but Eden adds just enough authentic language to keep the setting real without detracting from the story. Anyone who is a fan of Jane Eyre will love this book!

I LOVE Sarah Eden's writings!
Her characters banter with each other as a humorous way to flirt...
For you see...
The girl likes the guy...but thinks the guy doesn't like her.
When in fact the guy likes the girl...but thinks the girl doesn't like him.
So FUN to read!
It makes you want to see them get together all the more :)
Marion, or Mary as she decided to be called, has been hired on a governess to Miss Caroline...
Layton, is still grieving the loss of his wife...but finds himself joyful when he is around Mary.
But it is improper for the Lord of the house to marry the child's governess...
Can they find a way...
Filled with love and romance and humor-- A must read for anyone who believes in "happily ever afters."

Edward Samuel Rogers Sr. stands as a prominent inventor within Canadian communications technology heritage. Ted Rogers had his interest sparked as a youth in 1911 when learning about wireless telegraph in school. He built his own telegraph set to send and monitor Morse Code signals. In 1912 he heard messages about the sinking of R.M.S. Titanic on his telegraph, and in 1914 received short-wave reports of the Declaration of World War 1 he posted a notice about this before Toronto newspapers reported it. He honed his skills further in his late teens while being a Marconi Operator aboard Great Lakes passenger vessels such as the Noronic. His participation in a 1921 radio contest resulted in sending a signal from Newmarket, Ontario to Androssan, Scotland. He was the only Canadian to achieve the feat, making it more impressive by the fact that he was using a one-half kilowatt spark transmitter from 500 miles inland. Ted Rogers also became the first Canadian amateur to send a transatlantic signal, and newspaper accounts described him as a "Wireless Wizard".
Ted Rogers made a remarkable achievement which revolutionized communications in 1924. He invented the worlds first successful alternating current radio tube in the world. Radios could now operate from household electricity rather than batteries a major breakthrough in home entertainment as issues of recharging, acid leaks, and a persistent hum during operation were now eliminated. Mr. Rogers next constructed a modified radio chassis which could utilize his new tube, and at the 1925 Canadian National Exhibition, he introduced the Rogers Batteryless Radio the first successful all-electric radio in the world.
Rogers Radios quickly became a commercial success due to their convenience, high-quality sound, and style. This prompted Mr. Rogers to create a companion to the Batteryless Radio in the form of a broadcasting station. He knew using electricity rather than batteries would provide a clearer reproduction of vocal and musical tones. He designed a special transmitter to use Rogers A/C Tubes and in 1927 radio station CFRB Toronto went on the air. The call-letters chosen by Ted Rogers represent Canadas First Rogers Batteryless. The broadcast strength and strong clarity of CFRB, the first all-electric station in the world, made it one of the best in North America.
A profound tragedy struck in May 1939 when at age 38 Edward S. Rogers Sr. passed away suddenly due to complications from an internal hemorrhage. Among the many honours bestowed on Edward S. Rogers Sr. are a Commemorative Postage Stamp and a Provincial Historic Site Plaque. He inspired his son and namesake Edward S. Ted Rogers Jr. to pursue a career in telecommunications.
While still articling as a lawyer, Ted Rogers Jr. partnered with media personality Joel Aldred and newspaper publisher John Bassett in 1959. Together they launched the first private television station in Toronto, CFTO - whose inaugural telecast occurred January 1, 1960. In September, Mr. Rogers acquired CHFI-FM, the first FM station in Canada, which at that time was viewed as a novelty. This changed dramatically when Mr. Rogers contracted Westinghouse Canada to produce stylish, inexpensive tabletop FM receivers of his design. The increased exposure and high-quality sound of CHFI allowed it to become a leader in the Toronto radio market. This success prompted Mr. Rogers to launch a sister station in 1962, CHFI-AM, later renamed as CFTR and reformatted in 1991 into 680News the first all news radio station in Canada.
Ted Rogers ventured into cable television when he acquired Bramalea Telecable in July 1967, and one year later, Rogers Cable TV served subscribers in Toronto. Successful merges with Canadian Cablesystems Limited (1979) and Premier Cablevision (1980), made Rogers Cablesystems the largest cable provider in Canada at the time. Rogers Cable became recognized as a technological leader in the industry, being the first to introduce Cable Converters in Toronto, the first to expand beyond 12 channels, and being instrumental in the development of fibre-optic cable, digital television, and interactive television.
Canadians were introduced to cellular telephones in 1985 when Mr. Rogers launched "Cantel". This operation later expanded into paging and high-speed data transfer. Strategic alliances strengthened the position of the company, and provided a new name: "Rogers AT&T".
During the mid-1990s, Ted Rogers spearheaded high-speed internet access via cable lines, meaning Canadians could now enjoy the luxury of rapid use of the world wide web. He also orchestrated a successful merger with MacLean Hunter Limited which permited entry into multi-media pursuits with new specialized magazines and internet services tailor-made for the Canadian public.
Whether in the form of radios, cable television, wireless devices or multi-media, the Family and companies with the "Rogers" name have established a long history of pioneering new technologies for Canadians to enjoy the best features of home entertainment, information access, and interpersonal communication.

Mohammad Javad Zarif released the video at a crucial moment in long-running negotiations in Vienna. The talks are aimed at concluding a comprehensive and enduring agreement on the future of Iran's nuclear program. Iran and six major powers, led by the US, have given themselves until Tuesday night to complete the deal. After that they could face increased intervention by the Republican majority in the US Congress. The Republicans are hostile to a compromise with Iran that would leave it with part of its nuclear infrastructure intact.
Like The Dark Knight himself, Ben Affleck seems to find victory in foresight. On top of taking the role of Batman in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice because--well, it's Batman--Affleck wanted to learn how blockbuster films were made from the inside-out. Affleck told Entertainment Weekly that he thought if he was going to direct a movie like this, which he would like to do at some point, he needed to have something of a "refresher course" on how these types of movies are done. Affleck is currently rumored as a directorial candidate for Warner Brothers' planned solo Batman film, in which he would also star.

The shows sold out instantly (at $59.50 to $199.50), and the average price of a seat on the secondary market is now in the $500 to $600 range, according to StubHub, the online ticket seller. That prices prime seats out of reach of many fans -- a strange irony for a band known for its egalitarian spirit -- and makes the Dead's final shows among the most expensive in U.S. history.
