In which I talk about a lot of things about a lot of books with a lot of authors.
I've been slacking off on the Yay, New Things! posts, and before I knew it, three Heart to Heart podcasts have gone by without a single post from me. (Or if I've posted about them, I can't find the damn post!)
Anyway, I wanted to share these with you because I think the author interviews in these episodes are fabulous (not because of me — because of the guests!). The linked pages should have embedded players for listeners who don't want to go through iTunes. If you have any problems accessing the podcasts, let me know!
I chat with historical romance author Anne Gracie about Australian romance, the possibilities for Australian historical romance, and whether or not The Rosie Project fits in the romance genre. I also review the first two books in Kathryn Ledson's Erica Jewell series, Rough Diamond and Monkey Business.

Congratulations to Australian authors Anne Gracie, Anna Campbell and Leah Ashton, New Zealand authors Nalini Singh and Frances Housden, and Australian editor Kate Cuthbert whose books have made it to the 2014 RITA shortlist.
The Romance Writers of America (RWA) has announced the finalists for the 2014 RITA and Golden Hearts awards. The RITA recognises published works of romance fiction; the Golden Hearts are awarded to unpublished manuscripts. The winners will be announced at the RWA conference on July 26 in San Antonio, Texas.
The RITA shortlist includes Australian authors of historical romance Anna Campbell (A Rake's Midnight Kiss) and Anne Gracie (The Autumn Bride), and category romance author Leah Ashton (Why Resist A Rebel?). New Zealand authors Nalini Singh (Heart of Obsidian) and Frances Housden (The Chieftain's Curse) also made the list, as did Escape editor Kate Cuthbert (for editing Housden's book).
Australian author Vanessa Barneveld is nominated for a Golden Heart in the Young Adult Romance category.
This year's list features self-published titles for the first time: Letters To Nowhere by Julie Cross; The Way You Look Tonight by Bella Andre, The Countess Conspiracy by Courtney Milan; Sonata For A Scoundrel by Anthea Lawson; The Killing Game by Toni Anderson; and Off The Edge by Carolyn Crane.
You can find the full list of finalists here.
Over to you, readers: who are your picks to win?
A night filled with upsets, keynotes for ARRC 2015, murder mayhem, and award-stealing shenanigans!
The Australian Romance Readers Awards dinner was sold out this year, demonstrating the increasing importance of this award among readers, authors and publishers. There were plenty of surprises in store for attendees, making for a very boisterous evening, and promising exciting things for the future of romance in Australia!
Kylie Scott was named Favourite Australian Romance Author, breaking Anna Campbell's streak. Scott also picked up Favourite Erotic Romance for her zombie romance Skin (Momentum Moonlight).

BOOKMARKED is the name we gave to our paper.li journal, but since not everyone is on Twitter and not everyone on Twitter likes paper.li, this is an adhoc round-up on the blog highlighting links and news that might be of interest.
Heart to Heart podcast
In case you missed it, Destiny Romance has launched its new podcast series called Heart to Heart, and I'm sitting in the host's chair. I'm so excited! I posted about the first episode here, or you can go directly to the Destiny blog for more info. The first episode features Sarah Wendell and a book reading that will have you picking up Georgina Penney's new book. My favourite bit, though, is the book-wine pairing, courtesy of Destiny editor Carol George!
ARRC2015 accommodation
ARRA has released the link to book accommodation for the Australian Romance Readers Convention at discounted rates. $160 per night is pretty reasonable for Canberra, so if you're planning to attend ARRC, it's worth booking early. Voting for the awards ends today, so if you're an ARRA member and you haven't voted yet, check your email for the link and vote asap!
Galaxy paranormal romance bookclub
Galaxy Bookshop's monthly paranormal romance bookclub is on tomorrow from 6.30pm. This month's theme is around genre—what we love/hate about it, and where we draw romance genre lines. If you can't make it in person, you can join the discussion thread on their Facebook page.
Anna Cowan reading at The Wheeler Centre

Sarah Wendell, Maisey Yates, Cherry Adair and Marie Force in Sydney
The sessions for the Romance Writers of Australia conference in Sydney in August has been released, and based on the panelist list, it looks like we'll be seeing Smart Bitch Sarah Wendell, Harlequin author Maisey Yates (she of the 'Congratulations on your penis!' badges), romantic suspense author Cherry Adair and self-publishing sensation Marie Force in Sydney later this year.

Book Thingo on Audioboo.fm
After flirting with Bubbly, I'm coming to realise that limiting my audio posts to 90 seconds is, well, a little challenging. So we now also have an Audioboo account, which allows 3 minutes of audio. I'm hoping to do a series of audio posts at the ARRA awards, and I have a feeling that this longer time limit is going to be much easier to manage! At the moment, I'm cross-posting to both—recently, I've talked about Aboriginal characters in romance (Bubbly | Audioboo) and shipping LoVe in Veronica Mars (Bubbly | Audioboo).
In the meantime, I'd love your feedback. As a listener, which service is easier and more intuitive to use?
AAR annual reader poll results
All About Romance has published the results of their annual poll of the best romances published in 2013. I think this poll is the first reader-led poll for romance (that I can remember, at least—someone please correct me if I'm wrong!). Among the Aussie authors in the list are:
- Sarah Mayberry for The Other Side of Us
- Graeme Simsion for The Rosie Project (Kat's review)
- Nalini Singh for Heart of Obsidian (Kat's review) and for her Guild-Hunter characters Elena and Raphael (look, we consider her an honorary Aussie, right?)
Hanging out with your favourite Escape artists
I had an opportunity to hang out with the ever lovely Kate Cuthbert, Kaetrin from Kaetrin's Musings, Shelleyrae from Book'd Out, Meredith Jaffe from The Hoopla, and four ARRA-nominated authors, Sandra Antonelli, Alissa Callen, Juliet Madison, and Kendall Talbot. Check out the video below (or click here):

Kat's picks for the 2013 Australian Romance Readers Awards for 2013.
Last week, the Australian Romance Readers Association published its shortlist for the Australian Romance Readers Awards. If you're an ARRA member, make sure you vote for your favourites!
Here are my picks from the finalists and my winner predictions (though I have to warn you that my batting average for predicting award winners is piss-poor.)
Favourite paranormal romance
You can read my review of this book here.
Booktopia | Amazon US | Book Depository | iTunes | Kobo | Nook | Library
Winner prediction: If this book doesn't win its category, I'll be very surprised.
Read the rest of this post.
Two Psy, each damaged in different ways. Ill-fated lovers. An emotionally repressed virgin hero who moves the earth for his true love. And all the feels. The feels! This one is definitely a keeper.
Before we start, let's get this out of the way: I'm not going to tell you explicitly who the Ghost is in this review, but it might be guessable. Also, we don't have a spoiler filter in the comments, so if you haven't read the book, I'd suggest avoiding the comments until you do.
If there's any criticism I could level at the last few Psy-Changeling books, it would be that the romances tended to be overshadowed by the worldbuilding. It's clear that New Zealand author* Nalini Singh has been building up to some big revelations, and many of them culminate in Heart Of Obsidian.
* In true Aussie fashion, I propose claiming her for our own. It's a long-standing tradition. We have precendents—the pavlova, Phar Lap, Keith Urban. And now Nalini Singh. Let's start the rumour today and make it happen.
Kaleb Krychek has always been billed as the ruthless Councillor who has had no compunction in assassinating those who stand in his way, but as the series progressed it's clear that he has his own agenda, which might not align with my first impression of him. (Jane at Dear Author posted this awesome cheat sheet on what we know of Kaleb up to Kiss of Snow.) After seven years, two week and two days, Kaleb has finally found the woman he has been searching for.
Read the rest of this post.
Hey, Psy-Changeling fans! So you think you know who The Ghost is? This post might have you thinking again… (Updated 25/5/2013 to add link to Storify.)
This morning Twitter users got to ask the Ghost some questions directly. He gave us some hints as to his identity, but some of his answers just raised more questions. Berkley will post a Storify link tomorrow (click here), but in the meantime, here is a summary of what we learned:
The Ghost was damaged before the PsyNet began to degrade, but he still does not want to leave. He is a male (not multiple people) who was 'broken' as a child, and who got rid of his conscience to survive. It hasn't and (he believes) will never return. But he bonded with a woman (who is not his lover and is still alive today) during that time, and she is the only one to whom he is loyal and the only one who will keep him from carrying out his plans. He refuses to say what those plans are, only that they will become clear in time and he has been putting them into effect for over 20 years. He doesn't discuss his plans with anyone except sometimes Judd and Xavier. He suspects Judd may have an idea of his ultimate goal. Sienna is no longer a part of his plan, but he would not answer why (is it because she is no longer a surprise?).
Read the rest of this post.
At some point, I'll catch up on reading, reviewing and blogging and we'll be back to our regular posting schedule. In the meantime, this is way too exciting for me not to mention!
If you haven't already pre-ordered the book, you can do so at Booktopia, Galaxy, Fishpond, Amazon and Book Depository.
If you're a fan of NZ author Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series—and who isn't?—and you're dying to know which main character will feature in her June release, Heart Of Obsidian—and who isn't?—then you need to head over to her blog and find out!
Yes, after months of secrecy and that oh-so-coy blurb, we finally find out that…
(Look away now if you don't want to know!)

Some highlights from the 2013 Australian Romance Readers Covention (The Mercure, Brisbane — March 1 to 3, 2013).
I apologise for not posting detailed recaps of the Australian Romance Readers Convention in Brisbane a couple of weeks ago. Allison (Decadence), Jen and I attended the event, but we did so as readers first and bloggers maybe second or third—we all wore different hats over the course of the weekend—so I haven't wanted to put pressure on us to record the event. (You'll notice that even our tweets weren't as extensive as they've been in previous ARRCs.)
Nevertheless, I know many readers who wanted to come along to ARRC but were unable to do so, and I wanted to share some of the highlights of the weekend with you. Bear in mind that I didn't go to all the panels and keynotes, so I'm using my Storify stream to fill in some of those blanks. If you're after a panel-by-panel recap, check the next issue of the ARRA newsletter. I believe a few of the sessions were recorded, so you can also email ARRA to check if they're releasing an audio CD.

We all strive to reflect our emotions in our work and will work for me as many; an outlet I need to servive. Sounds dramatic, yet thats what I hold onto.
I´ve always "had" to use a camera through my work as a designer for some 35 years now.
Yet the media is quiet different when on demand.
My first book will hopefully be able to reflect feelings back for many, were they might find the same peace in seeing the solitude I have experianced while out in wild but beautiful places here in west sweden.

Hawk Nelson Heading out on Live Life Loud Tour
"Life Life Loud" the tour begins on the heels of their recent release "Live Life Loud," which embodied everything fans know of Hawk Nelson. Their fourth-studio project loudly resounded with media reviewers as they touted the album as Hawk Nelson's "most mature," "diverse collection," and "best overall album." This year, the guys have spent time in the studio recording special acoustic tracks and this last week they traveled to to Australia to perform for their international fans. In addition to their upcoming headline tour, Hawk Nelson is celebrating two GMA Dove Nominations this year for "Recorded Music Packaging" and "Short Form Video."
As part of their campaign to get everyone living life loud, Hawk Nelson is asking their Twitter followers to use the hashtag #livelifeloud whenever they Tweet about something that showcases the true meaning of what it means to "Live Life Loud." On the tour homepage, fans can see others tweeting about how they "Live Life Loud."
Taking their recent release's subject matter to heart, Hawk Nelson is striving to "Live Life Loud." Recently with the devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Haiti, Jason Dunn joined the 100+ artist choir for Michael W. Smith's "Come Together Now" recording. This song was recorded live at Belmont University's Ocean Way Studios and is now featured on the "Healing 4 Haiti" CD. All net proceeds from the sale of this album will support relief efforts in Haiti including clean water, shelter, medical care and other critical aid from Samaritan's Purse. It will also support the work of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's Rapid Response Team, who had chaplains on the ground within 24 hours of the earthquake providing emotional and spiritual comfort to survivors. In addition to Dunn's participation in this recording, he also traveled in February to Haiti with Samaritan's Purse to see for himself the tragedy.
"My trip to Haiti was life-changing," shares Dunn. "On my flight there, I asked God to break my heart for these people. He listened, like He always does!"
About Hawk Nelson:
This powerhouse, pop rock foursome hailing from Canada has won the hearts of thousands since their debut release. In 2009, Hawk Nelson performed fans across the country with the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular, REVOLVE tour, the Rock and Worship Roadshow and Skillet's Awake & Alive tour. Despite their insane touring schedule, the guys recorded their fourth studio album, "Live Life Loud," which released September 2009. This release was the third top album on the overall Christian chart, the 18th digital album in the nation, the second digital album on the Christian chart and debuted with eight singles in the Top 200 digital tracks during street week. Hawk Nelson has also appeared on NBC's drama "American Dreams," a cameo appearance in the Nickelodeon film "Yours, Mine, & Ours" as well as had their songs featured on NBC's Stanley Cup promo spots, WB's Smallville, Summerland, & Laguna Beach. In addition, the band has formed a lasting relationship with TOMS Shoes. For the band's effort, every pair of shoes purchased via Hawk Nelson's website, TOMS donates a pair of shoes to someone in Haiti as the band's ongoing involvement with the Hands & Feet Orphanage.
About Group 1 Crew:
A self-professed entertainer, a pop diva, and a bona fide producer: that's the makeup of breakout urban sensation Group 1 Crew, three everyday Latinos who rose above their circumstances and the middle-of-the-road to become one of the most exciting aggregates in faith-based music. Their 2008 release, Ordinary Dreamers (2009 Dove-winning "Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year"), the trio's second album for Fervent Records, shattered any and all preconceptions created by their out-of-the-box, Dove-winning debut, Group 1 Crew (2008 "Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year"), to position itself as one of the most unordinary offerings of the moment—an amalgam of rhythm and rhyme that takes the best of urban pop and hip-hop and turns them upside down. G1C challenge people to dream and pursue the calling God has given them. For more information, visit http://www.group1crew.com .
About A Road Less Traveled:
The Christian rock group A Road Less Traveled from Lubbock, TX has toured with Superchick and supported some of the biggest names in Christian music such as Switchfoot, Skillet, Toby Mac, Family Force 5, Relient K, and many more. Their latest EP, "Of a Captive Heart", is capturing hearts and getting national media attention. The single "Underneath" has been steadily picking up adds on Christian rock radio. They are currently a finalist in Camp Electric's Rock the Camp Contest (partly owned by Toby Mac). Not too bad for a independent band from Texas.

The Iphone5c comes in 5 different colours, its not just for lovers of colour, it is for the colourful amongst us.
The rich and particular colour that we wanted to infuse into iPhone 5c simply wasn't possible with the current material we use, metal. But we had no interest in imitating the typical, fragile plastic phone. So we built iPhone 5c around a steel-reinforced frame that also acts as an antenna. It's attached to the outer shell in individual pieces, then laser-welded together to achieve a precise fit. This structural integrity makes iPhone 5c pleasingly solid to the touch — unlike any plastic phone you've ever held. iPhone 5c feels as significant as it looks. Referenced from Apple.co.uk
While its appearance may be new, it is instantly recognisable. This is because it has all of the things that the people loved about the iphone 5 inside of it, and more!. The new Apple Designed A6 chip delivers even more impressive performance and graphics than ever before, and along with this is it incredibly ennergy efficient so you can use your Iphone without having to worry about the battery life.
The all new 8MP iSight Camera is a hit too and lets anybody and everybody taken incredible photo's at any time!. The Intentions of the iphone5 was never just to make it a colour phone, but to create an entirely new expression of what the Iphone can be.
It has been Engineered to the "Brightest" Specifications.
- A6 Chip
- 8MP iSight Camera
- 4 Inch Retina Display
- Ultra Fast wireless
The Iphone5c has all the things that made the Iphone5 an amazing phone plus all the extras including the new IOS7.
All of the above with a completely new design that fits in your hand perfectly!.
The clean redesigned icons and colourful matched wallpapers seem to rediate through the home screen nicely… Colours are everywhere in IOS7. This happened with full intent and purpose! IOS7 was designed with the colourful nature of the IPhone5c in mind making it more delightful and also more personal.
Also noticeable is the ways that the IOS7 brightness the tasks you perform every single day. It will automatically organise things for you… such as your photo's based on where and when you have taken the pictures.
Airdrop will now also let you share your photo's wirelessly and directly to people who are nearby.
IOS7 also enhances your reading experience when browsing the web by hiding the safari features in the background making your browsing more content and much less browser. What more could you want to make the iphone5c more pleasant, colourful and even more fun?

Otto Adolf Eichmann was a German Nazi SS-Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel) and one of the major organizers of the Holocaust. Because of his organizational talents and ideological reliability, Eichmann was charged by SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich with the task of facilitating and managing the logistics of mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in German-occupied Eastern Europe.
After World War II, he fled to Argentina using a fraudulently obtainedlaissez-passer issued by the International Red Cross.
He lived in Argentina under a false identity, working a succession of different jobs until 1960.
He was captured by Mossad operatives in Argentina and taken toIsrael to face trial in an Israeli court on 15 criminal charges, includingcrimes against humanity and war crimes. He was found guilty and executed by hanging in 1962.
He is the only person to have been executed in Israel on conviction by a civilian court.
Otto Adolf Eichmann was born in 1906 to a Lutheran family in Solingen,Germany. His parents were businessman and industrialist Adolf Karl Eichmann, who would own a mining company, and Maria née Schefferling.
After his mother Maria died in 1914, his family moved to Linz, Austria. During the First World War, Eichmann's father served in theAustro-Hungarian Army. At the war's conclusion, Eichmann's father moved the family back to Linz, where he operated a business.
Eichmann left high school—Realschule—without having graduated. He began apprentice training to become a mechanic, which he also discontinued.
In 1923 at the age of 17, he started working in the mining company of his father.
From 1925 to 1927 he worked as a sales clerk for the Oberösterreichische Elektrobau AG; next between 1927 and spring 1933, Eichmann worked as district agent for the Vacuum Oil Company AG, a subsidiary of Standard Oil. During this time, he joined the Jungfrontkämpfervereinigung, the youth section of Hermann Hiltl's right-wing veterans movement.
In late 1933 he moved back to Germany.
On March 21, 1935 Eichmann married Veronika Liebl (1909–1993).[13] The couple had four sons:
Adolph Eichman walking in the yard of his cell in Ayalon Prison, Ramla, 1961
Eichmann was hanged shortly before midnight on May 31, 1962, at a prison in Ramla, Israel. His executioner was Shalom Nagar. Eichmann allegedly refused a last meal, preferring instead a bottle of dry red Israeli wine produced by Carmel Winery, consuming about half the bottle.
He also refused to don the traditional black hood for his execution.
There is some dispute over Eichmann's last words. One account states that these were:
Long live Germany. Long live Austria. Long live Argentina. These are the countries with which I have been most closely associated and I shall not forget them. I had to obey the rules of war and my flag. I am ready.
According to David Cesarani, a leading Holocaust historian and Research Professor in History of the Royal Holloway, University of London, Eichmann is quoted thus:
Long live Germany. Long live Argentina. Long live Austria. These are the three countries with which I have been most connected and which I will not forget. I greet my wife, my family, and my friends. I am ready. We'll meet again soon, as is the fate of all men. I die believing in God.
Shortly after the execution, Eichmann's body was cremated in a specially designed furnace, and a stretcher on tracks was used to place the body into it.
The next morning, June 1, his ashes were scattered at sea over the Mediterranean, beyond the territorial waters of Israel by an Israeli Navy patrol boat. This was to ensure that there could be no future memorial and that no country would serve as his final resting place.

Below is the poem entitled MANIPULATION INTENTION which was written by poet
Ronquillo. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Donn Ronquillo
preying on the weak,
lingering on moments of threats.
malignant with conditions;
troubled impositions,
impossible corrections,
dire solutions.
hidden web of agendas,
more than a fast pace phase.
lying behind masks,
random rat race.
morbid and cruel;
with vague and serious intent,
never really content,
collaborating underhandedness,
with no elaborate weakness,
creeping shiftiness,
just to make a statement,
some sort of scandalous entertainment.
like a ploy of trained murder,
hot to the very extent of malice!

Attractive design, reasonable price.I recommend that the specs include the information that with a hacksaw and a good clamp you can customize the length of the bar (shorter, but not longer!). Some products have bars that must be inserted in a particular orientation. Because these bars are round, they can be cut to size. This is an advantage (but only if you purchase one LONGER than you need!).Pros: Looks Great, Stylish, Solid, Great Value Cons: Difficult to Install

text: Children learn from their parents, that's a given. What some parents don't understand is that children learn by example far easier than they do by instruction. If a parent has a BMI over 40, there is a higher incidence of childhood obesity in their children. This proposal would get both parents and children motivated to exercise and eat healthy for fear of being separated. While drastic, the danger obese parents place on their children by way of negative example should not be tolerated, and the lifestyle the children of obese parents learn to emulate has significant, lifelong effects. We remove children from the homes of emotionally and physically abusive parents. We remove children from the homes of parents who abuse substances. Is obesity not just an outward sign of a substance (food) abuse problem?

Experience the influence of Bugis settlers in Singapore when you make a short visit to the Hajjah Fatimah Mosque. Built in 1846, the Hajjah Fatimah Mosque was named after a Malacca-born Malay who married a wealthy Bugis sultan from Celebes.
The mosque was built on the site of Hajjah Fatimah's former house at Java Road. She designated the land for the building of a mosque after surviving a fire at her home caused by arsonists. Enclosed by a high wall, the Hajjah Fatimah Mosque compound comprises a prayer hall, a mausoleum (where Hajjah Fatimah is buried), the quarters of an Imam (priest), an ablution area, several annexes and a garden.
Perhaps the most unusual feature you'll notice here is a distinctive minaret designed by an unidentified European architect. The tower leans about six degrees off centre – making this one of the most unique sights in Singapore.

Rocky Patel Decade Robusto 10 Pack
5 x 50 - Natural - Pack of 10
A chocolate-hued Ecuadorian wrapper surrounds Decade's Nicaraguan filler & binder blend. This delightfully hearty cigar delivers a full flavor with prominent flavors of wood. Notes of leather combine with a long, complex finish for a cigar that is equally enjoyable after lunch or dinner. Try 5 1st!
I m 70yrs old and have been smoking cigars for 50yrs...this RP Decade Robusto tastes as sweet as chocolate to me...great draw and burn...it s the only cigar my wife will let me smoke in the house!...she adores the smell...one a day for the last 6 months!!
Excellent pre-light aroma of sweaty leather on the wrapper and minty herbs on the cold draw. The first third then was very unsatisfactory, with a flavor somewhere between cigarettes and bitter chocolate. Got much better on the second third, right before it ashed, with less bitter flavors of dark chocolate and savory minty herbs on the nose. Kept steady till the nub, and only ashed one more time. Outstandingly built. 88 points
Bought 1 about a month ago to try it out. Let it rest in the humidor for a couple of weeks so it could be my July 4th smoke. Exactly what I'd hoped it would be! Consistent, even burn with lots of smoke that even non smokers were raving about. Kind of a spicy/nutty/leathery. Just ordered a 5 pack today! Can't wait to have another one.

After around the clock searching, and countless man hours the two inmates that escaped from the Pushmataha County Jail are now back in custody and facing new criminal charges for escaping from a penal institution.
On Sunday night, February 16, two DOC inmates being housed in Pushmataha County Jail escaped after overpowering jail staff while the inmates were being served. The inmates were spotted by Antlers Police Department's dispatchers and the hunt began.
Deputies began searching for the escapees immediately with the help of Choctaw County, Bryan County, Atoka County, Rattan Police Department, Antlers Police Department, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and U.S. Marshals.
"The situation that made the inmates escape possible has been corrected. The people of Pushmataha County can rest assure that this issue will not happen again. The inmates are behind several well protected walls and policies are put in place to avoid this problem happening again," stated Sheriff Terry Duncan.
On Monday night, February 17, around 10:00 p.m., Michael Avery, one of the inmates, was captured by Pushmataha County Sheriff's Department deputies when they saw him running across a field by HWY 70, about 1/2 a mile from the Hugo "Y" in Choctaw County.
Clayton Scraper was finally apprehended on Friday, February 21st, by the Choctaw County Sheriff's Department. Scraper was found approximately 3 miles northwest of Soper in Choctaw County.
"I would like to personally thank everyone involved in the apprehension of these two inmates," continued Duncan. "We had a lot of help from assisting agencies, as well as all deputies and reserve deputies we had at our disposal looking around the clock. We took shifts looking until both were back in custody. We really aprechiated the help."

Locals pounded the pavement to pound out hunger.
Ten different groups including some Student Council Members from Neal Elementary took part in the annual Crop Walk Sunday afternoon.
One hundred and seventy walkers and runners completed the three mile course to help end hunger across the world.
Twenty-five percent of the money raised will benefit the Brazos Valley Food Bank and the Brazos Church Pantry.
CROP Walk Committee Member Theresa Mangapora says besides raising money, the walk lets people know that hunger issues are not restricted to third world countries.
"A lot of people that may not get involved in either of those organizations are now a little more aware of the issues in the community and during the holidays they may be apt to do something," Mangapora said.
This year's CROP Walk raised $14,796.

OWL 2 Implementation
What is OWL 2.0
The Ontology Web Language (OWL) 2.0 is a semantic web standard based on Description Logics (DL). More information on the W3C OWL 2.0 home page as well as at the OWL 2 Wikipedia topic.
The HGDB-OWL App
The code is located under the apps/owl in the codebase.
The HyperGraphDB implementation of OWL 2.0 is based on the OWL API 2.0 which is the de facto standard for OWL. The OWLAPI is made up of interfaces representing the constructs defined by the W3C standard completely and faithfully. The OWLAPI itself offers a reference implementation of those interfaces where all data is in memory. The HGDB-OWL implementation is a drop-in replacement that has all data automatically and transparently persisted in a HyperGraphDB instance.
In the same way that the default OWLAPI handles multiple ontologies at the same time, HGDB-OWL can store multiple ontologies in a single database instance. Each ontology is represented as a HGSubgraph.
One can use the standard OWLReasoner API and any of the available reasoners such Hermit, Fact++ and Pellet. However, it must be noted that reasoners usually load all axioms into their own data structures depending on the reasoning algorithms used and a large ontology may easily blow out the memory. In other words, while HyperGraphDB will handle an unlimited data set, swapping things in out of the cache and allowing you to query arbitrarily large database, a reasoner will need everything in RAM before it can make any inference. To overcome this limitation a reasoner working directly with the database needs to be implemented, but that's a large project on its own.
Protege Integration
While one can find several editors for ontologies, the most popular is by far the Protege Editor by Stanford University. It is based on the OWLAPI standard which made it natural and straightforward to develop a HyperGraphDB plugin for it given the HGDB-OWL implementation. The plugin essentially dispenses you from the need to manage files, the need to save your work etc. Everything you do is automatically persisted. In addition you can have each ontology be versioned controlled in your database.
The plugin was developed in the context of the Sharegov.org Citizen Relationship Management Project. More about the plugin and download links for the various versions can be found on the ProtegePlugin page.
Usage - a Quick Guide
You can use HGDB-OWL exclusively as an OWLAPI implementation. This approach is recommended if you want to leave the possibility open to easily switching to a different implementation. You can also write code using the HGDB API directly, for instance in order to take advantage of the querying facilities. Either way, first you start by populating with data and for this it's definitely easier to work at the OWL abstraction level.
First you need to create a HGDB-based OWLOntologyManager:
import org.hypergraphdb.app.owl.* ; import org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.*; HGDBOntologyRepository.setHypergraphDBLocation("/tmp/owldb"); OWLOntologyManager manager = HGDBOWLManager.createOWLOntologyManager();
This will create a new HyperGraphDB instance at /tmp/owldb. Note that if you don't specify a database directory before anything else, with the HGDBOntologyRepository.setHypergraphDBLocation method, one will be created at some random hard-coded place that you probably don't want. So don't forget to set the db directory.
After that you use the OWLOntologyManager as you would with the OWLAPI. So getting familiar with the OWLAPI and going through whatever tutorials you find around the internet is a good idea. Another important implementation class is the OWLDataFactory - you must use the one provided by HGDB-OWL. You can get it with manager.getOWLDataFactory or if you don't have a reference to the manager, use OWLDataFactoryHGDB.getInstance().
So here is a full program that creates an ontology, adds one subclass declaration to it and then prints it on stdout in the OWL functional syntax:
import org.hypergraphdb.app.owl.HGDBOWLManager; import org.hypergraphdb.app.owl.HGDBOntologyRepository; import org.hypergraphdb.app.owl.core.OWLDataFactoryHGDB; import org.semanticweb.owlapi.io.OWLFunctionalSyntaxOntologyFormat; import org.semanticweb.owlapi.io.StreamDocumentTarget; import org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.IRI; import org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLDataFactory; import org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntology; import org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntologyManager; import org.semanticweb.owlapi.vocab.OWLRDFVocabulary; public class Tutorial { public static void main(String [] args) { try { HGDBOntologyRepository.setHypergraphDBLocation("/tmp/owldb"); OWLOntologyManager manager = HGDBOWLManager.createOWLOntologyManager(); OWLDataFactory factory = OWLDataFactoryHGDB.getInstance(); OWLOntology O = manager.createOntology(); manager.addAxiom(O, factory.getOWLSubClassOfAxiom( factory.getOWLClass(OWLRDFVocabulary.OWL_THING.getIRI()), factory.getOWLClass(IRI.create("http://example.com#Movie")))); manager.saveOntology(O, new OWLFunctionalSyntaxOntologyFormat(), new StreamDocumentTarget(System.out)); } catch (Throwable t) { t.printStackTrace(System.err); } } }
Setting Up a Versioned Ontology Repository
The HGDB-OWL implementation provides support for version management of ontologies. One can use it to deploy version control of OWL ontologies that work the same way as conventional source control that developers are familiar with. Both a central repository model (ala SVN) and a distributed repository (ala Github) are supported. The versioning is performing using the standard OWLAPI change objects. Committing, rolling back, merging etc. are safely performed just like you would with SVN ot Github. There is a programmtic interface to this functionality and naturally it is all integrated in Protege.
If you want to run a database server with versioned ontologies, there's a small program in the codebase that does it:
The server uses the HGDB-P2P package for communication. That is, it is a server configured as a peer in an XMPP network. You read up on that at the PeerToPeerTutorial page. Then you can run this program by providing a JSON configuration file as with any other HGDB peer. Here is an example of such a configuration file:
{ "interfaceType" : "org.hypergraphdb.peer.xmpp.XMPPPeerInterface", "peerName" : "HGDBPeer", "bootstrap" : [ {"class" : "org.hypergraphdb.peer.bootstrap.AffirmIdentityBootstrap", "config" : {}}, {"class" : "org.hypergraphdb.peer.bootstrap.CACTBootstrap", "config" : {}} ], "interfaceConfig" : { "user" : "hgdbowl", "password" : "password", "serverUrl" : "http://hgdbowl.mycompany.com", "autoRegister" : true, "ignoreRoster" : false }, "OntologyServer" : "true" }

Lighthouses shine in 'Sea of Time'
By Molly Glentzer : December 6, 2013
Photo By Zineb Sedira"Broken Lens 1" is on view in the exhibit "Zineb Sedira: Lighthouse in the Sea of Time."
More Information
'Zineb Sedira: Lighthouse in the Sea of Time'
When: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursday
Where: Blaffer Art Museum, 120 Fine Arts Building, University of Houston
Tickets: Free; 713-743-9521, blafferartmuseum.org
If I could escape anywhere during the holidays, it might be to one of the colonial-era lighthouses in Algeria that Zineb Sedira portrays so evocatively in her first U.S. solo exhibit.
Inside one gallery at the Blaffer Art Museum, Sedira's photographs and videotaped interviews with the lighthouses' keepers offer an in-depth look into the politics and operation of the historical sites.
But a smaller, specially designed gallery is the gem. There, four videos play in the darkness like a moving collage on suspended screens. With poetic images of reflective lights spinning and waves crashing against rocky shores, the videos celebrate the lighthouses as beacons of enduring humanity in a vast sea of time.

Woman reappointed to child-fatality task force
Gov. Pat McCrory on Thursday reappointed Sarah Veribest of Orange County to the N.C. Child Fatality Task Force.
Veribest is executive director of the UNC Center for Maternal and Infant Health.
The Child Fatality Task Force exists to conduct a statistical study of the incidences and causes of child deaths in the state and establish a profile of child deaths.
It also examines laws, rules and policies about the confidentiality of information that affect agencies with responsibilities for children, including state and local health, mental health, social services, education and law enforcement agencies, to determine if those regulations inappropriately impede the exchange of information necessary to protect children from preventable deaths.
It has 35 members, each of whom serve two-year terms. The governor appoints four.

Five years have passed since a school bus carrying Lee High School students in Alabama plunged off Interstate 565, killing four and injuring dozens.
The only sign of the crash that killed Christine Collier, Nicole Ford, Tanesha Hill and Crystal McCrary is a memorial marker erected along Church Street downtown, near the spot where the bus landed. New students inhabit their school, where Principal Paul Parvin says their deaths are still marked with a moment of silence each year.
A lot has changed at Lee since Nov. 20, 2006, though.
The school that the victims knew will soon be gone - the Lee Generals await their move into a new $42 million building on the school's campus. The school's name is in limbo - a planned merger with New Century Technology High School has prompted discussion, and protest, about a name change.
Even the Huntsville Center for Technology, where the busload of students was headed that fateful fall morning, may soon be no more. New Superintendent Casey Wardynski wants to move the center's programs into the district's high schools and use the vacated building for administrative offices.
