- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this pack for our trip to the Smokies next month and our future trip to Germany. I've only worn this walking in my neighborhood with my 14 month, 18 pound daughter to get both of us use to the backpack. I love it and so does my daughter who hates being confined. Everytime I pull out the pack for our walk, she has the biggest smile on her face and practically climbing in herself.
I'm small myself, just under 5'4 and 115 lbs and the pack is very comfortable. No rubbing on the hips when I walk. Its hot and humid where I live, even in the early mornings, and my back doesn't get sweaty.
I also purchased the sun and rain hood which has worked out well for use. We even got caught in a downpour and it definitely protected my daughter from getting more wet.
I'm excited to use it on the trails in the Smokies. Definitely much better than using my Britax front carrier. Plus, there's enough storage for diapers, wipes, snacks and more that makes it even better. So glad I won't have to carry an extra bag for all our needs.

If my baby's happy, I'm happy.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
My baby girl loves to hike but she's not generally THIS smiley after a long hike... Previously, I lugged her around in a Baby Bjorn front pack which she was much too big for. (You know it's time to upgrade when it looks like you have a kid strapped to your chest). It was time for a major upgrade.
This pic is from the maiden voyage of our Deuter Kid Comfort II. She is very cozy/comfortable in this carrier. Dad approved.

Product description
Love can move at the speed of terminal velocity, but as award-winning director Makoto Shinkai reveals in his latest comic, it can only be shared and embraced by those who refuse to see it stop. Takaki Tohno quickly befriends Akari Shinohara when she transfers to his school. They grow closer to each other due to similar interests and attitudes; for instance, they both prefer to stay inside during recess due to their constitutions. As a result, they form a strong bond. Upon ending their school year, Akari moves to Tochigi, due to her parents' jobs. The two keep in contact by writing letters, but eventually begin to drift apart.

Author information
Makoto Shinkai is a Japanese film director, animator, and writer. A native of the Nagano prefecture in Japan, he studied Japanese literature at Chuo University. He traces his passion for creation to the manga, anime, and novels he was exposed to while in middle school. Considered one of the best animators in the world today, he is often called the "next-Miyazaki." Shinkai developed his abilities as a video game designer for FalCom, where he worked on the cult-classic role-playing game "Y"S." Shinkai is unique as an animator as he cut his teeth by producing almost all elements many of his works - from animation to music composition to voice acting. He has won numerous awards: 12th "DoGA CG Animation Award"; 1st "New Tokyo International Animation Festival"Grand Prize; 7th "Kobe Animation Prize"; 6th "Japanese Media Art; Award"for Digital Media; 34th "Nebula Award"(World Con); 59th "Mainichi Films Animation Prize; 2007 Asia Pacific Film Award;" and the"Lancia Platinum Grand Prize" (Italy). His film credits include: "Voices of a Distant Star," "The Place Promised in Our Early" "Days," "5 Centimeters Per Second," and "Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below""
Review quote
Praise for the animated film by Makoto Shinkai: [Makoto] Shinkai has been hailed as the next Hayao Miyazaki, and his dreamy mindscapes often equal or surpass the anime maestro in breadth of detail and depth of emotion." - Ronnie Scheib, "Variety" "In "5 Centimeters" [Shinkai's] imagination may not leap to Hayao Miyazaki's strange and wonderful heights, but he is better (blasphemy!) at piercing the veil of the everyday to reveal a poignant, evanescent beauty most of us notice only in rare moments...Is he really the "new Miyazaki?" He won't become one by imitating the master, but at 34 he is the anime world's bright new hope. That and a brilliant minor gem like "5 Centimeters per Second" are enough, for now." - "Japan Times"

SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio ISD school board unanimously agreed to move ahead with possibly re-zoning Alamo Stadium as an historical landmark.
The move comes two months after the city's Historic Design and Review Commission supported a finding of historic significance.
"We're excited that Alamo Stadium not only is being invested in with the renovations but is a treasure for not just SAISD but the entire community," said board President Ed Garza during a meeting Monday.
The move comes as $35 million in improvements to the stadium and neighboring convocation center continue to be put on hold. This new process could delay the project even further.
"What we have to do today is balance what we promised the taxpayers in terms of staying on budget with our schools and the stadium and all of our facilities but at the same time we find ways to work with the local historic review commission and find out what we can do to enhance the projects and not delay the projects," added Garza.
The process could last through July.

- Long term outcome of high-risk neuroblastoma patients after immunotherapy with antibody ch14.18 or oral metronomic chemotherapy (2011)
- Background: The treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma patients consists of multimodal induction therapy to achieve remission followed by consolidation therapy to prevent relapses. However, the type of consolidation therapy is still discussed controversial. We applied metronomic chemotherapy in the prospective NB90 trial and monoclonal anti-GD2-antibody (MAB) ch14.18 in the NB97 trial. Here, we present the long term outcome data of the patient cohort. Methods: A total of 334 stage 4 neuroblastoma patients one year or older were included. All patients successfully completed the induction therapy. In the NB90 trial, 99 patients received at least one cycle of the oral maintenance chemotherapy (NB90 MT, 12 alternating cycles of oral melphalan/etoposide and vincristine/cyclophosphamide). In the NB97 trial, 166 patients commenced the MAB ch14.18 consolidation therapy (six cycles over 12 months). Patients who received no maintenance therapy according to the NB90 protocol or by refusal in NB97 (n = 69) served as controls. Results: The median observation time was 11.11 years. The nine-year event-free survival rates were 41 ± 4%, 31 ± 5%, and 32 ± 6% for MAB ch14.18, NB90 MT, and no consolidation, respectively (p = 0.098). In contrast to earlier reports, MAB ch14.18 treatment improved the long-term outcome compared to no additional therapy (p = 0.038). The overall survival was better in the MAB ch14.18-treated group (9-y-OS 46 ± 4%) compared to NB90 MT (34 ± 5%, p = 0.026) and to no consolidation (35 ± 6%, p = 0.019). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed ch14.18 consolidation to improve outcome compared to no consolidation, however, no difference between NB90 MT and MAB ch14.18-treated patients was found. Conclusions: Follow-up analysis of the patient cohort indicated that immunotherapy with MAB ch14.18 may prevent late relapses. Finally, metronomic oral maintenance chemotherapy also appeared effective.
- Stammzelltransplantation bei Kindern : auch Eltern sind mögliche Spender (2003)
- Heute erkranken in Deutschland etwa 750 Kinder und Jugendliche Jahr für Jahr an Leukämien und anderen bösartigen Bluterkrankungen, davon rund 600 an einer Akuten Lymphatischen Leukämie (ALL) und 150 an einer Akuten Myeloischen Leukämie (AML). Seit der Einführung moderner Chemotherapieprotokolle im Jahr 1970 ist aus dieser einst tödlichen eine jetzt heilbare Erkrankung geworden. Allerdings erleiden immer noch zirka 20 Prozent der Kinder mit einer ALL einen Rückfall. Die meisten der Kinder benötigen eine Stammzelltransplantation. In Deutschland sind dies pro Jahr etwa 100; in Frankfurt werden im Jahr gegenwärtig 20 Patienten mit Stammzelltransplantationen behandelt, davon rund 55 Prozent mit akuten Leukämien. Eine Stammzell-transplantation kostet bei Kindern gegenwärtig etwa 120000 Euro.
- IL-2 stimulated but not unstimulated NK cells induce selective disappearance of peripheral blood cells: concomitant results to a phase I/II study (2011)
- In an ongoing clinical phase I/II study, 16 pediatric patients suffering from high risk leukemia/tumors received highly purified donor natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy (NK-DLI) at day (+3) +40 and +100 post haploidentical stem cell transplantation. However, literature about the influence of NK-DLI on recipient's immune system is scarce. Here we present concomitant results of a noninvasive in vivo monitoring approach of recipient's peripheral blood (PB) cells after transfer of either unstimulated (NK-DLI(unstim)) or IL-2 (1000 U/ml, 9–14 days) activated NK cells (NK-DLI(IL-2 stim)) along with their ex vivo secreted cytokine/chemokines. We performed phenotypical and functional characterizations of the NK-DLIs, detailed flow cytometric analyses of various PB cells and comprehensive cytokine/chemokine arrays before and after NK-DLI. Patients of both groups were comparable with regard to remission status, immune reconstitution, donor chimerism, KIR mismatching, stem cell and NK-DLI dose. Only after NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) was a rapid, almost complete loss of CD56(bright)CD16(dim/−) immune regulatory and CD56(dim)CD16(+) cytotoxic NK cells, monocytes, dendritic cells and eosinophils from PB circulation seen 10 min after infusion, while neutrophils significantly increased. The reduction of NK cells was due to both, a decrease in patients' own CD69(−) NCR(low)CD62L(+) NK cells as well as to a diminishing of the transferred cells from the NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) with the CD56(bright)CD16(+/−)CD69(+)NCR(high)CD62L(−) phenotype. All cell counts recovered within the next 24 h. Transfer of NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) translated into significantly increased levels of various cytokines/chemokines (i.e. IFN-γ, IL-6, MIP-1β) in patients' PB. Those remained stable for at least 1 h, presumably leading to endothelial activation, leukocyte adhesion and/or extravasation. In contrast, NK-DLI(unstim) did not cause any of the observed effects. In conclusion, we assume that the adoptive transfer of NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) under the influence of ex vivo and in vivo secreted cytokines/chemokines may promote NK cell trafficking and therefore might enhance efficacy of immunotherapy.
- Sequential anti-cytomegalovirus response monitoring may allow prediction of cytomegalovirus reactivation after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (2012)
- Background: Reconstitution of cytomegalovirus-specific CD3+CD8+ T cells (CMV-CTLs) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is necessary to bring cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation under control. However, the parameters determining protective CMV-CTL reconstitution remain unclear to date. Design and Methods: In a prospective tri-center study, CMV-CTL reconstitution was analyzed in the peripheral blood from 278 patients during the year following HSCT using 7 commercially available tetrameric HLA-CMV epitope complexes. All patients included could be monitored with at least CMV-specific tetramer. Results: CMV-CTL reconstitution was detected in 198 patients (71%) after allogeneic HSCT. Most importantly, reconstitution with 1 CMV-CTL per µl blood between day +50 and day +75 post-HSCT discriminated between patients with and without CMV reactivation in the R+/D+ patient group, independent of the CMV-epitope recognized. In addition, CMV-CTLs expanded more daramtaically in patients experiencing only one CMV-reactivation than those without or those with multiple CMV reactivations. Monitoring using at least 2 tetramers was possible in 63% (n = 176) of the patients. The combinations of particular HLA molecules influenced the numbers of CMV-CTLs detected. The highest CMV-CTL count obtained for an individual tetramer also changed over time in 11% of these patients (n = 19) resulting in higher levels of HLA-B*0801 (IE-1) recognizing CMV-CTLs in 14 patients. Conclusions: Our results indicate that 1 CMV-CTL per µl blood between day +50 to +75 marks the beginning of an immune response against CMV in the R+/D+ group. Detection of CMV-CTL expansion thereafter indicates successful resolution of the CMV reactivation. Thus, sequential monitoring of CMV-CTL reconstitution can be used to predict patients at risk for recurrent CMV reactivation.
- Immunotherapy of invasive fungal infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (2013)
- Despite the availability of new antifungal compounds, invasive fungal infection remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Allogeneic HSCT recipients suffer from a long lasting defect of different arms of the immune system, which increases the risk for and deteriorates the prognosis of invasive fungal infections. In turn, advances in understanding these immune deficits have resulted in promising strategies to enhance or restore critical immune functions in allogeneic HSCT recipients. Potential approaches include the administration of granulocytes, since neutropenia is the single most important risk factor for invasive fungal infection, and preliminary clinical results suggest a benefit of adoptively transferred donor-derived antifungal T cells. In vitro data and animal studies demonstrate an antifungal effect of natural killer cells, but clinical data are lacking to date. This review summarizes and critically discusses the available data of immunotherapeutic strategies in allogeneic HSCT recipients suffering from invasive fungal infection.
- Risk of angioedema following invasive or surgical procedures in HAE type I and II : the natural history (2013)
- Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE), caused by deficiency in C1-inhibitor (C1-INH), leads to unpredictable edema of subcutaneous tissues with potentially fatal complications. As surgery can be a trigger for edema episodes, current guidelines recommend preoperative prophylaxis with C1-INH or attenuated androgens in patients with HAE undergoing surgery. However, the risk of an HAE attack in patients without prophylaxis has not been quantified. Objectives: This analysis examined rates of perioperative edema in patients with HAE not receiving prophylaxis. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of records of randomly selected patients with HAE type I or II treated at the Frankfurt Comprehensive Care Centre. These were examined for information about surgical procedures and the presence of perioperative angioedema. Results: A total of 331 patients were included; 247 underwent 700 invasive procedures. Of these procedures, 335 were conducted in 144 patients who had not received prophylaxis at the time of surgery. Categories representing significant numbers of procedures were abdominal (n = 113), ENT (n = 71), and gynecological (n = 58) procedures. The rate of documented angioedema without prophylaxis across all procedures was 5.7%; in 24.8% of procedures, the presence of perioperative angioedema could not be excluded, leading to a maximum potential risk of 30.5%. Predictors of perioperative angioedema could not be identified. Conclusion: The risk of perioperative angioedema in patients with HAE type I or II without prophylaxis undergoing surgical procedures ranged from 5.7% to 30.5% (CI 3.5–35.7%). The unpredictability of HAE episodes supports current international treatment recommendations to consider short-term prophylaxis for all HAE patients undergoing surgery.
- The MLL recombinome of acute leukemias in 2013 (2013)
- Chromosomal rearrangements of the human MLL (mixed lineage leukemia) gene are associated with high-risk infant, pediatric, adult and therapy-induced acute leukemias. We used long-distance inverse-polymerase chain reaction to characterize the chromosomal rearrangement of individual acute leukemia patients. We present data of the molecular characterization of 1590 MLL-rearranged biopsy samples obtained from acute leukemia patients. The precise localization of genomic breakpoints within the MLL gene and the involved translocation partner genes (TPGs) were determined and novel TPGs identified. All patients were classified according to their gender (852 females and 745 males), age at diagnosis (558 infant, 416 pediatric and 616 adult leukemia patients) and other clinical criteria. Combined data of our study and recently published data revealed a total of 121 different MLL rearrangements, of which 79 TPGs are now characterized at the molecular level. However, only seven rearrangements seem to be predominantly associated with illegitimate recombinations of the MLL gene (≈ 90%): AFF1/AF4, MLLT3/AF9, MLLT1/ENL, MLLT10/AF10, ELL, partial tandem duplications (MLL PTDs) and MLLT4/AF6, respectively. The MLL breakpoint distributions for all clinical relevant subtypes (gender, disease type, age at diagnosis, reciprocal, complex and therapy-induced translocations) are presented. Finally, we present the extending network of reciprocal MLL fusions deriving from complex rearrangements.
- Children with relapsed or refractory nephroblastoma: favorable long-term survival after high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (2014)
- Background: High-dose chemotherapy (HDC) with autologous stem-cell rescue (ASCR) is a treatment option for pediatric patients with relapsed nephroblastoma. We present long term results of 9 patients treated between 1993 and 2013 at our center. Procedure: Reinduction therapy was carried out according to GPOH and SIOP recommendations. The conditioning regimen consisted of carboplatin (1 200 mg/m²), etoposide (800 mg/m² or 40 mg/kg) and melphalan (180 mg/m²). Purging of the grafts with immunomagnetic CD34 positive selection was performed in 5 patients. Results: 8 of 9 Patients (90%) are alive without evidence of disease after a median follow-up of 8.5 years. Leukocyte engraftment occurred after a median of 10 days (range 8-12). Median numbers of 667/µl CD3+, 329/µl CD4+, 369/µl CD8+T cells and 949/µl B cells were reached after 180 days. No negative impact of CD34 selection was observed. No transplantation-related death occurred. Acute toxicity comprised mucositis III°-IV° in all and veno-occlusive disease in one patient. Long term effects probably related to treatment occurred in 3/7 evaluable patients and comprised hearing impairment, reduced renal phosphate reabsorption, mild creatinine elevation and hypothyroidism (n=1, each). Conclusion: Thus, in our experience HDC with ASCR is an effective treatment of recurrent or refractory nephroblastoma with acceptable side effects. However, a randomized trial proving its efficiency with a high level of evidence is needed.
- Cytotoxic capacity of IL-15-stimulated cytokine-induced killer cells against human acute myeloid leukemia and rhabdomyosarcoma in humanized preclinical mouse models (2012)
- Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) has become an important treatment modality for patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is also under investigation for soft tissue sarcomas. The therapeutic success is still limited by minimal residual disease (MRD) status ultimately leading to patients' relapse. Adoptive donor lymphocyte infusions based on MRD status using IL-15-expanded cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells may prevent relapse without causing graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD). To generate preclinical data we developed mouse models to study anti-leukemic- and anti-tumor-potential of CIK cells in vivo. Immunodeficient mice (NOD/SCID/IL-2Rγc−, NSG) were injected intravenously with human leukemic cell lines THP-1, SH-2 and with human rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cell lines RH41 and RH30 at minimal doses required for leukemia or tumor engraftment. Mice transplanted with THP-1 or RH41 cells were randomly assigned for analysis of CIK cell treatment. Organs of mice were analyzed by flow cytometry as well as quantitative polymerase chain reaction for engraftment of malignant cells and CIK cells. Potential of CIK cells to induce GvHD was determined by histological analysis. Tissues of the highest degree of THP-1 cell expansion included bone marrow followed by liver, lung, spleen, peripheral blood (PB), and brain. RH30 and RH41 engraftment mainly took place in liver and lung, but was also detectable in spleen and PB. In spite of delayed CIK cell expansion compared with malignant cells, CIK cells injected at equal amounts were sufficient for significant reduction of RH41 cells, whereas against fast-expanding THP-1 cells 250 times more CIK than THP-1 cells were needed to achieve comparable results. Our preclinical in vivo mouse models showed a reliable 100% engraftment of malignant cells which is essential for analysis of anti-cancer therapy. Furthermore our data demonstrated that IL-15-activated CIK cells have potent cytotoxic capacity against AML and RMS cells without causing GvHD.

A great day to be at the hospital! Seriously!
SO we go in and Kohl's Cares is giving stuffed animals and books! Then we're waiting and some men from Kohl's Cares tells us they are giving away booster seats cuz the laws are changing here in August. So we got a free booster seat (Ty just barely made the age and height and weight for a booster seat, lol!)! Pretty kewl!
Now to our neuro appt :-S
Well glad you had a good day! Hope neurology is good!
thinking of you-big hugs
Quoting Mipsy:
Well neuro update: still not sure what the episodes are, weaning trileptal, and our neuro is leaving. Yes, I'm bawling. When everyone else thought I was just exaggerating Ty's sleeping issues and what very few seizures we had seen, he is who found the epilepsy! Because of him Ty is A) alive and B) growing and catching up developmentally. I'm so sad
Glad to hear Ty got some new stuff! I'm sorry that his neuro is leaving...big hugs mama!
Awww sorry to hear that about the Neuro. I know how that goes. I quite literally cried when we had our last session with John's original O/T. She had been his O/T since he was 13 months old and up til he was 3.5 almost 4. She had become more than just an O/T she had become one of my closest friends and practically family. We still keep in touch.

London's latest night of camp debauchery certainly satisfies
Who'd have thought it would be a skinny 22-yr-old black boy from North London via Norfolk and Egypt who would take the weight upon their shoulders to pioneer a gay scene in London's overly polished never-been-rimmed-before Knightsbridge.
Historically, Knightsbridge has masqueraded an illicit gay scene of sorts for decades, but there's never been any kind of parade. There's the old Barracks, where up until the 60s affluent gents would toss shillings at virile young horse guards in the dead of night. Then there were the notorious seasonal workers at Harrods, creamy public school boys who were earning pocket money in more ways than one. But there's never been an open scene in this part of town. It's only ever been the stomping ground of closeted toss pots who hold the gay community back with one hand while guiding them in with the other.
Miss Cairo is changing that with the launch of "Cabaret and Cocktails". Hosted, bizarrely yet rather fittingly, in the loungey basement of a Lebanese shisha restaurant called Privée at No. 2 Beauchamp Place. But by definition it isn't strictly a gay night, it's a cabaret night that calls for a celebration of all that is marginal. And so by proxy, there are gorgeous gays all over the shop.
The young hostess Miss Cairo belongs to an emancipated performance troup (slash emascalated mafia group) called "The Familyyy Fierce", who count among their members drag du jour Meth. And so the evening presented an array of intriguing guests, including Meth herself who looked drop dead fabulous in PVC riding boots and trademark mortuary make-up, embodying a sort of Malory Towers zombie get-up. She paid her dues too with a RuPaul lip-sync number.
There was entertainment from the big-titted Lolo Brown, a female burlesque performer who put on a matador show in which an audience member was made to wear a pair of bull horns that were in fact two dildos stuck onto a headband. Lolo also closed the night with an explicit parody of Nigella Lawson. Needless to say, the lesbians in attendance were wetting their lips.
Rubyyy Jones (the three Ys in her name tell you she's part of the aforementioned 'Familyyy Fierce') performed a Marilyn Monroe number in which she somehow lost all of her clothes and finished off by yelling at two gay guys in the corner "It's called a vagina!"
The freakishly shrill Lily Snatchdragon acted as Miss Cairo's sidekick of for the night, tottering around collecting up mislaid gloves and side plates, adding the occasional quip in her distinctive take on Karen.
Spotted in the audience was the sensationally cute Boylesque performer Tom Harlow too, who chose to turn up in a pearly skin tight gym slip that indulged and bulged the imagination. Completely derivative of Michael Alig, but with an arse like Tom's, who's complaining? The audience were treated to the sight of him bent over a trestle table as he frantically decorated a cake.
Miss Cairo herself wowed the crowd with a natural stage presence, deft comedic timing, alarmingly pitch-perfect singing voice and skillful handling of her audience. Considering this is the first night that she has ever hosted, one could almost taste the birth of her career. She chose to sing one of her numbers adjacent to the audience, leaning against a tissue dispenser at the bar completely unlit, a bold move for a virgin matroness.
And so in a nutshell, a scene or sorts was formed. All the elements were in place for a fabulous new residency.
If Miss Cairo can hold onto her core following and expand outwards then 'Cabaret and Cocktails' could become a staple of London's nightlife calendar. Being in Knightsbridge of course, we'll have to share the rewards with our straight comrades. But perhaps that's a good thing. 'Caberet and Cocktails' is a rich blend of burlesque, boylesque, gurlesque and queerlesque. It's a below-the-counter culture that shows promise. The next night will be in April, so follow Miss Cairo's Facebook page for details (https://www.facebook.com/misscairomascara).

Product description
There have been many biographies of Stalin, but the court that surrounded him is untravelled ground. Simon Sebag Montefiore, acclaimed biographer of Catherine the Great's lover, prime minister and general Potemkin, has unearthed the vast underpinning that sustained Stalin. Not only ministers such as Molotov or secret service chiefs such as Beria, but men and women whose loyalty he trusted only until the next purge. 'Spectacular...an impressive and compelling work' Philip Mansel, Spectator 'This magnificent portrait of the dictator' Richard Overy, Literary Review

Review quote
'Crammed with grimly revealing anecdotes and hitherto unheard testimony, this is a book that anatomises, with vivid insight and compelling readability, the corruptions of absolute power and the psychology of those who wield it. SUNDAY TIMES 'There is unlikely ever to be a more engrossing account of the life of Joseph Stalin than his huge biography.' -- Charles Osborne SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'As intellectually perceptive as it is horrifically enthralling the book is packed with insights into this ostensibly avuncular paranoid... prodigious in his research, Montefiore tells the grisly story with style and elegance.' -- Christopher Hirst THE INDEPENDENT 'Daily accounts from the breakfast table to the Politburo provide an incisive portrait of the inner workings of a brute's mind.' THE HERALD 'This isn't just a gripping slice of history, but an extraordinary psychological study of a murderous dictator who 'Knew He Was Right.' Here is more love, death and intrigue than you find in any thirller.' INDEPENDENT MAGAZINE 'a marvellously racy, gossipy study, based on immense research.' THE EVENING STANDARD 'Simon Sebag Montefiore's writing is caustic and superb and he wears his rigorous scholarship with style.' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'This is not simply another book about Stalin. It is a horrifying, hypnotic and at times, darkly amusing account of the lives of the families who ruled the Soviet Union... this page turner captivates and repels in equal measures.' THE OBSERVER 'This book should help purge any lingering nostalgia for the USSR.' IRISH TIMES 'there are plenty of political histories of the Stalinist era, but what makes Simon Sebag Montefiore's grimly fascinating book so special is the intimate protrait he sketches of the Soviet dictator's close circle of family and friends.' MAIL ON SUNDAY
Editorial reviews
A real treat for anyone interested in the history of the 20th century, this scholarly biography is both accessible and meticulously researched. Montefiore sets out to chronicle the life of the 'Red Tsar', his family, friends, and colleagues, and the result is a fascinating account liberally illustrated with black-and-white photos. In addition to the text over 100 pages are devoted to source notes and a comprehensive index. Brief and helpful footnotes give extra, often illuminating, information and the book is divided chronologically into ten parts, each with several brief chapters. The Stalin family and their friends come to life through thumbnail sketches, first-hand reports and letters. Fortunately for researchers Stalin did not use the telephone when he was on holiday and thus written information has been preserved. Extraordinarily, while organizing massacres and transportation on the political front the dictator was capable of a lively and loving home life. Stalin's second marriage was stormy, but his emotional response to his wife's apparent suicide shows how affected he could be by his personal life. His relationship with daughter Svetlana reflects the behaviour of a doting father. When she showed signs of early maturity he was overprotective, perhaps only too aware of the promiscuous behaviour of some of his Party colleagues. The Party members lived well, although not luxuriously by modern standards. Stalin enjoyed the power of giving large gifts such as cars to the faithful. Montefiore makes clear the ironies of the Revolution. The monarchy had been replaced by an elite who sprang from the people. However, the people benefited little, especially the peasants who were expected to starve to provide the means to develop an industrial society. Stalin and his colleagues systematically destroyed small farms, by killing, deporting and collectivising. All this was totally impersonal and led later to the elimination by quota of suspected traitors. Following the death of Kirov, for so long Stalin's friend, suspicion and denunciation became rife. Many who had been closest to the leader were brought to trial and execution in a wave of Party paranoia which continued till Stalin's death in 1953. The Party controlled press, radio and certain influential writers, and critics of the system or of individual Party members were swiftly dealt with. On the personal level Stalin showed generosity and often compassion. In his postscript Montefiore makes the point that many of the people he interviewed in 2002 remembered Stalin with admiration and affection. Whatever history finally has to say about Stalin and those who surrounded him, it cannot be denied that he inspired and captured the imaginations of many. This is not always a comfortable read but it is enthralling and compelling. (Kirkus UK)

"Transcriptionist" is one of those work-from-home buzzwords often associated with online job scams. However, legitimate at-home transcription work is available within the legal realm. If you are an experienced legal secretary or assistant who wants to work remotely, or if you are a professional interested in training for a new telecommute job, consider telecommuting as a legal transcriptionist.
Description. The primary responsibility of a legal transcriptionist is to listen to recorded dictations, depositions, testimonies, or attorneys notes and accurately key in data onto a computer, thereby transcribing voice information to typewritten information. Additionally, legal transcriptionists may be required to format transcribed documents under specific directions from their employer, prepare legal pleadings, track deadlines and monitor schedules, file documents, and provide proofreading services.
Education. Formal education as a legal transcriptionist is not required; however, some transcriptionists earn certifications via online training programs or they receive an associate's or bachelor's degree in paralegal studies to help familiarize themselves with legal concepts and terminology. Most at-home legal transcriptionists have a high school diploma or GED and have received onsite on-the-job training through work with attorneys' offices before beginning remote assignments.
Equipment. Depending on the contract or employment agreement arranged between a legal transcriptionist and his/her employer, the transcriptionist may be provided with job-specific equipment to use while working from home. Alternatively, the responsibility of obtaining proper equipment may be the sole responsibility of the hired candidate. Every trade has its tools, and these are typically the ones required to work from home has a legal transcriptionist.
-Home computer
-High-speed Internet access for downloading and/or streaming digital files
-Foot pedal capable of manipulating sound (e.g. starting/stoping, slowing down/speeding up)
Necessary Skills. Working from home as a legal transcriptionist requires expertise necessary to perform the legal work demands, as well as skills demanded of a telecommute worker. Ensure that you are prepared for work as a legal transcriptionist by measuring yourself against this skills checklist.
-Advanced and accurate typing skills
-Strong attention to detail
-High-level command of the English language, including proper spelling and punctuation
-Outstanding ability to self-edit and proofread
-Working knowledge of common legal terminology, pleadings, and procedures
-Keen listening ability
-Excellent ability to multitask
-Capable of working independently under minimal supervision
-Follows instructions completely
Salary. Legal transcriptionists who work from home earn comparable rates to those who work in a traditional office environment. If an at-home legal transcriptionist is hired as a full-time, regular employee then the transcriptionist an be expected to earn salaried income. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, legal secretaries, assistants, and paralegals earned an average annual salary of $46,680, as of May 2010. Legal transcriptionists who work as independent contractors are paid on a per-project basis, and can earn between $15 and $25 per hour, depending on skill level and experience.
Hours. The time spent working as a telecommute legal transcriptionist will depend on your employment classification. Regular employees will work a full-time or part-time schedule similar to in-office legal transcriptionists. Freelance legal transcriptionists are in charge of securing their own projects, so hours will vary based on a given contract. However, like many remote workers in other fields, work from home legal transcriptionists may find themselves working evenings and weekends to complete complex assignments.
Are you an experienced legal transcriptionist who wants to make the transition to working from home, or are you searching for a new and challenging at-home career?

My EPIA M9000 can deal with divx's and DVDs without a prob......
128 MB ram, running windows 2000 SP4 with all the updated drivers
I've seen a lot of people' set-ups that use Celeron and other low powered processors, but is that realy enough.
I have a 667 Celeron with 512 RAM and a 128MB Radeon 9200SE, but when I play movies, it sometimes lags.
Are these lower powered system really enough, or should I opt for a faster 2GHz+ P4 to ensure uninterupted entertainment.
What experiences do you guys have with lower/high powered systems??

you shouldnt be having any problems with that setup at all. I used a celeron 667 with 96mb ram and an onboard video card (with a hardware DVD decoder on board) in my first carputer and it played DVD's like a champ.
is there anything using up your CPU cycles in the background?

I'm now a reasonably successful gunblogger.
I guess I should mention that this is just my desktop machine, although I dont think it would matter too much.
I guess its ok most of the time, but when I try running Winamp 5, and Photoshop or Sound Forge and have Internet Explorer windows open, its lags. I suppose thats normal, and I dont plan to use Photoshop or Sound Forge in my Carputer (except maybe Sound Forge to repair or restore an MP3 file.)
How does that 1Ghz processor in the EPIA M10000 (i think thats the one) compare to a similar Celeron or P4??
I've never heard of EPIA before reading through the forums here.
Thanks for the input guys
a 1 ghz c3 will do about roughly the work of a 733 mhz p3. they really arent comparable processors, designed for vastly different things.Originally Posted by Lebult
you might want to consider instead of a low strength processor, a mobile athlon XP. low power consumption, and very powerful.
OH.. and for crappy old systems, use instead winamp 2.91. it's nicer on old systems.
and for the love of god, never use a celeron. i dont understand why anybody would ever buy a celeron..
low power is fine if you like 3 min boot up times or more you need to decide what is acceptable to you a M10K takes 2 min's with XP Pro optomized for speed a 1.5g athalon takes less than 1 min a P4 2.4g about 40 sec's or less and the more apps you run the longer it will take
Lmfao...! I run a P233MMX and it boots to music in about 25 seconds, 20 seconds of which is the motherboard post. 3 minutes I think not...!Originally Posted by port20
Low power is pefectly fine, my P233 decodes MP3s with about 20% cpu usage, and Ogg Vorbis files with a little more.
And I don't get to have any power problems or heat problems (I even slowed down my processor fan to quieten the system down).
My system uses a couple of TI ISRs for the power supply, and is all built into a case the size of a CDROM drive. My system draws around 30W when it's all running (draws 2.5A - my main fuse is 3A).
Old Systems retired due to new car

i don't know how you play your movies, in my case, watching a good vcd is no different from watching dvd in a small screen so why dvd? and you don't have 5 apps open at the same time do you??I have a 667 Celeron with 512 RAM and a 128MB Radeon 9200SE, but when I play movies, it sometimes lags.

great i should say, but the thing is, i'm a technical person so i know how to fix something when things doesn't seem right. i don't see myself having a 2ghz system, it's kind of an overkill for me, i would worry more on heat dissipation.What experiences do you guys have with lower/high powered systems??
[HW] 566eMHz/128mb/6gb, FlyVideo3k, RandMgps, M1-ATX, 7" Lilliput, VGA2AVadptrFor2ndVideo, 4CH/100rms, 10"Sub, 40AhDeepCycleTank

For the most part, I can fix most things too, although I'm probably not as technically advanced as most of you guys. I'm fine with computer hardware problems, but software problems leave me in the ditch.
I was thinking about heat dissipation too.
Maybe building a custom case with heat vents (or even heat sink if I could manage it) and 2 fans, one on each end of the case. One blow in, the other blowing out.
What types of things do you guys do for heat dissipation??
I'm trying to rake my brain, and figure out the best place to put the carputer.
I think the glove box would be too hot, and there may not be enough room under the passenger seat.

Is LSU Going To Wear These New 'Duck Dynasty' Helmets Against Alabama This Weekend?
The LSU Tigers have been having a solid season in a shifting SEC conference with a 7-5 record, good enough for a no. 10 national ranking.
With the legendary Les Miles in charge, the Tigers always peak out towards the end of the season. Look for them to crack into a BCS game come winter.
What's even more exciting than the team's fate this season is their all-new "Duck Dynasty" camouflage helmets. Could the Tigers potentially be wearing these for their big Saturday matchup against no. 1 Alabama? We'll have to wait and see.
LSU football is a big fan of "Duck Dynasty." That explains this sweet helmet in the @LSUfball equipment room. pic.twitter.com/2DfNr5D7jd

July 30, 1965
Medicare Signed into Law
On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson traveled to the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, to sign Medicare into law. His gesture drew attention to the 20 years it had taken Congress to enact government health insurance for senior citizens after Harry Truman had proposed it. In fact, Medicare's history dated back even further.
Congress held its first hearings on government health insurance in 1916 during the Progressive Era. During the New Deal, health coverage became part of the deliberations over the Social Security program, but President Franklin Roosevelt decided it was better strategy to pass the old-age pension provisions first. In 1939 Senator Robert Wagner introduced national health legislation and held hearings, but the outbreak of World War II caused his bill to be shelved. It was not until after the war, in November 1945, that Harry Truman sent Congress the first comprehensive federal health insurance proposal. That bill went nowhere.
During Dwight Eisenhower's presidency Congress enacted the Kerr-Mills bill for cases of "medical indigency," to cover elderly individuals who needed help with their medical bills but who failed to qualify for welfare in their states. But reformers regarded Kerr-Mills as inadequate, given the rising number of elderly and rising cost of hospital care.
President John F. Kennedy identified Medicare as a top priority, sending a message to Congress soon after his inauguration. His Medicare plan was sponsored by New Mexico senator Clinton Anderson. Although polls showed widespread public support for Medicare, the American Medical Association launched a national campaign against it, running radio and television ads and sending speakers out to generate constituent mail against the bill. In July 1962 the Anderson bill lost by two votes in the Senate. President Kennedy vowed to carry on the fight, but Medicare hearings in the next Congress were interrupted by news of his assassination.
President Lyndon Johnson continued the effort to enact Medicare. In 1964 the House and Senate passed alternate versions of the bill, but a conference committee failed to resolve those differences. That fall, President Johnson won election with 60 percent of the vote and his coattails considerably enlarged the Democratic majorities in Congress. His chief congressional liaison, Lawrence O'Brien, believed that "for all practical purposes" Medicare was passed on election night because so many of its supporters were swept into office. This time, Congress reconciled its differences and on July 27 and 28, 1965, the House and the Senate agreed to the conference report on the bill. President Johnson then flew to Independence to sign Medicare into law in the company of the president who first proposed it.

The following is a sample of the fantasy matchups that the Fantasy Source team puts together every week. For all of this week's matchups, log in to Fantasy Source. To find out more about Fantasy Source, click here.
This is arguably the most highly anticipated matchup of the season with Tim Tebow and Tom Brady going head-to-head. The Broncos are 7-1 since Tebow took over as their starting quarterback, but beating Brady and the 10-3 Patriots would help make Denver's run more legitimate in the eyes of NFL pundits.
Denver has managed to survive its slow starts thanks to Tebow's late-game dramatics. This week he has one of the most favorable matchups a quarterback can get against the Patriots' league-worst pass defense. Do fantasy owners trust Tebow in the semifinal round of the fantasy playoffs? In addition, do they trust Tebow's receivers to take advantage of the situation?
The Patriots, meanwhile, have won five straight games, the last two coming by seven points against inferior opponents that New England had to score big against to compensate for a leaky defense. Brady and his offensive coordinator had a dust-up on the sideline, but sometimes stirring things up like that can stoke the fire of a player as successful as Brady.
Read on to get our fantasy take on the marquee matchup of the season, one that is sure to draw high TV ratings and could provide us with superb back-and-forth action worth sticking around for on Sunday.
5-Star Players
Tom Brady, QB, Patriots. Tebow is getting all the headlines, but Brady has the rings. And if it weren't for Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers, fantasy owners would be raving about the season Brady is having. In the past six games, Brady has thrown 16 touchdown passes and just one interception. This has included matchups against ballyhooed secondaries like the Jets' and Eagles'. Bottom line: The matchup doesn't matter for Brady, because he'll shred just about any defense.
Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots. Saying that Gronkowski is enjoying a superbly awesome, out-of-this-world, once-in-a-lifetime season might still qualify as an understatement. We all know by now that he broke the single-season receiving TD record for tight ends. But to understand how much of an advantage fantasy owners have with Gronkowski, consider that he has outscored second-place Jimmy Graham by nearly 50 points this season, and he's about 82 points ahead of third-place Tony Gonzalez. Amazing!
4-Star Players
Wes Welker, WR, Patriots. Welker is yet another Patriot who is at the top of his fantasy position. Welker started out the season on fire, hit a lull in the middle, but has picked right back up as the Patriots fight for a first-round bye. Denver has talented linebackers who could clog up space in the middle of the field, but Welker sees enough passes to overcome this matchup snafu. Only Roddy White has been targeted more among wide receivers than Welker this season.
3-Star Players
Tim Tebow, QB, Broncos. The Patriots are allowing a league-worst 308.7 passing yards per game and are giving up the fourth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. So Tebow is set up for a monster game provided he can avoid another slow start. New England does have 18 interceptions this year, so budget for a Tebow mistake or two. But as unconventionally as this man plays quarterback, the end result is almost always good for fantasy owners.
Willis McGahee, RB, Broncos. Owners drafted McGahee as a bench back, but he has produced like a RB2 instead. He has been battling through a knee injury, and that might have hampered him last week against the Bears. But he is just two weeks removed from having consecutive 100-yard games. The Patriots are a tough matchup with their 10th-ranked run defense, but McGahee should get enough touches in a John Fox offense to make it worth your while.
Eric Decker, WR, Broncos. If you review what the Redskins' wide receivers did last week against the Patriots, you'll probably be amazed at the amount of points. And let's face it, Washington's receiver corps isn't one that is loaded with fantasy talent. So if you need to take a gamble at your WR3 spot, Decker, who has been the Broncos' most productive wide receiver this season, is worth a shot.
Demaryius Thomas, WR, Broncos. The matchup is obviously great, and Thomas has been seeing more targets lately. In fact, in the past two games Thomas has been Tebow's preferred wide receiver with a whopping 20 targets that have translated into 222 yards and three touchdowns. If injuries have erased your depth at wide receiver and you're looking for an upside gamble, Thomas is your man.
Stephen Gostkowski, K, Patriots. Here are the reasons to start Gostkowski: thin air in Denver, the Broncos are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to kickers, and New England is the third-highest scoring team in the NFL. Need we say more?
2-Star Players
Aaron Hernandez, TE, Patriots. Gronkowski is getting most of Brady's looks in the red zone these days, but that doesn't mean Hernandez has been worthless. This team still relies a lot on its passing game between the hash marks, because the wide receivers outside of Welker aren't impressive. Hernandez is always worth a shot as a low-end TE1 if you don't have an elite option.
1-Star Players
BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB, Patriots. Green-Ellis' value depends on the Patriots' game plan. If Bill Belichick decides to spread out the defense with multiple receivers like he did last week, then BGE becomes an afterthought. Trouble is it's hard to predict which way Belichick will go. That makes BGE a weak flex play this week.
Danny Woodhead, RB, Patriots. Woodhead was the Patriots' lead back last week, but he could easily fade into the background this week if Belichick changes the game plan. Woodhead is too dicey to rely on at this point in the fantasy playoffs.
Matt Willis, WR, Broncos. Willis got his biggest chunk of the playbook last week, but it was hardly enough for fantasy owners to consider him a viable option.
Matt Prater, K, Broncos. Tebow got all the attention, but without Prater's 50-plus yard kicks, the effort would have gone for naught. The trouble is the Patriots' defense is so bad it gives up TDs instead of field goals most of the time.
Broncos defense/special teams. The Broncos' defense has been playing well, but the Patriots give up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing defenses. It could have something to do with that guy named Brady. Don't mess with Denver this week.
Patriots defense/special teams. Denver's conservative game plan could play into the hands of the Patriots, but this unit has given up big points to the likes of the Colts and Redskins.
0-Star Players
Lance Ball, RB, Broncos. Ball isn't getting enough touches for it to be worth fantasy owners' while, even with McGahee banged up.
Deion Branch, WR, Patriots. Branch could see a lot of Champ Bailey on Sunday. Plus, Branch was limited in practice this week because of a groin injury.
Daniel Fells, TE, Broncos. The tight end is an afterthought in the Broncos' defense, unless it's to help block for the run game.

Animals Matter

Hoarder used free to good home ads to get cats
When I saw the story about a Plano, Texas, man with 21 cats in a motel room, I thought maybe he had lost his home and was trying to keep his cats (albeit way too many) together. But turns out he is a repeat hoarding offender and this time police say it looks like he […] [Read More]
Seeing eye horse stirs controversy in Texas
If you saw a horse and rider trotting up and down the aisles of a grocery store, pulling items off the shelf and then paying for the items at the register, you might think someone is filming a commercial or movie. But apparently, this scenario was nothing more than Tabitha Darling riding her seeing-eye horse, […] [Read More]

It's amazing how in tune some animals are to humans. [Read More]
Five dogs die in Iditarod this year
Since the Iditarod begin in 1973, about 141 dogs have died during the races. While I do believe that these dogs love to run, I doubt any of the dogs would choose to run 1,100 miles at high speed to win a race. There must be better ways to exercise these dogs and capitalize on […] [Read More]
Bill to fix Texas pets causing stir among animal advocates
Two San Antonio lawmakers have filed bills that would mandate dogs and cats in Texas be spayed or neutered. There are exemptions for people who want to breed their pets, but that privilege will come with a $300 price tag, according to a recent news report . HB 4277 and SB 1845 were both introduced […] [Read More]
230 animals found starving in Texas
More than 230 animals were awarded to the Humane Society of North Texas in what officials say might be one of the largest livestock rescues in Texas: 168 horses, 67 cattle, and 2 llamas were found starving and in serious medical condition when they were confiscated outside of Ft. Worth. Thirty more animals were found […] [Read More]
Sharpening their claws: why cat's scratch things
One of the most common cat behaviors is also one of the most common reasons people relinquish cats to shelters. "They are scratching and ruining my furniture."

Neuter Scooter for a Nickel had its share of no-shows

A backup in a sewage line has caused Albany City Hall to shut down Monday.
Mayor Jerry Jennings says water ran into a basement, which compromised the building's heating system.
Despite the shutdown, the mayor says all vital resources in the city are up and running.
The flooding is now under control, however, the mayor says City Hall may need to get a new boiler.
Due to the closure there will be no Parking Permits issued. The new parking system goes into effect on Tuesday.
There is a one month grace period where warnings will be issued.

Special report: The 2009 UFO flap
Last updated at 16:00, Monday, 06 July 2009
This year (2009) has seen a dramatic increase in the number of UFO sightings in Cumbria yet just four years ago it seemed UFOs had left the area for good.
In August 2005, The Daily Telegraph and other papers reported that Cumbria had fallen off the intergalactic UFO map. There were so few UFO sightings, the papers announced, that Chris Parr, Whitehaven co-ordinator for the British UFO Hunters (Cumbria Branch) may have to close his organisation.
But it seems the obituaries for UFOs were being written a little too quickly. This year (2009) has seen an explosion in the number of lights in the sky. They've even been caught on film, either on digital cameras, camera phones or on video recorders.
It's got everyone talking again about what might explain this phenomena. In this section of the website we've brought together some of the more important case studies from 2009.
Visit Whitehaven News UFO section for more reports.

8-10 red glowing objects floating across the sky from west to east , north of Cartmel. there was no sound,they seemed to travel at the same speed at an elevation of around several hundred feet.
Has anyone else reported a sighting and can give us an explanation of these objects.
I saw a strange object in the sky on the 9th july 2009 at approximately 22.30 hours. It appeared to look just like a bright star moving west to east quite low on the horizon. It also seemed to move in a gentle up-down bobbing motion. It didnt have any strobe light or red green navigation lights. Did anyone else see this object at this time.

Are foreign governments the only foreign principals?
Does the Act limit an agent's lobbying and publishing informational materials (propaganda) for a foreign principal?
Are there criminal penalties for violating the Act?
Does everyone who acts as an agent of a foreign principal have to register?
Is FARA the only statute relating to the registration of agents?
FARA is short for the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938, as amended, 22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq
The purpose of FARA is to insure that the U.S. Government and the people of the United States are informed of the source of information (propaganda) and the identity of persons attempting to influence U.S. public opinion, policy, and laws. In 1938, FARA was Congress' response to the large number of German propaganda agents in the pre-WWII U.S..
No. The term also includes foreign political parties, a person or organization outside the United States, except U.S. citizens, and any entity organized under the laws of a foreign country or having its principal place of business in a foreign country.
One must register within ten days of agreeing to become an agent and before performing any activities for the foreign principal.
No, the Act requires only registration.
Yes, failure to register, keep accounts, mark informational materials, provide a congressional committee with a copy of the agent's most recent registration, and agreeing to a contingent fee based on the success of political activity are violations of the Act. The FARA Unit seeks to obtain voluntary compliance with the statute.
See our enforcement page for details.
No, there are a number of exemptions. For example, diplomats and officials of foreign governments, and their staffs, are exempt if properly recognized by the U.S. State Department. Persons whose activities are of a purely commercial nature or solely of a religious, scholastic, academic, scientific or fine arts nature are exempt. Certain soliciting or collecting of funds to be used for medical aid, or for food and clothing to relieve human suffering are also exempt. Lawyers engaged in legal representation of foreign principals in the courts or similar type proceedings, so long as the attorney does not try to influence policy at the behest of his client, are exempt. Any agent who is engaged in lobbying activities and is registered under the Lobbying Disclosure Act is exempt from registration under FARA if the representation is not on behalf of a foreign government or foreign political party.
No. The Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 (LDA), 2 U.S.C. § 1601, removed from FARA a class of agents who are engaged in lobbying activities and who register under the LDA. This Act is administered by Congress.
18 U.S.C. § 951 provides criminal penalties for anyone, other than a diplomat, to operate as an agent of a foreign government without first notifying the Attorney General, unless the agent is engaged in legal commercial transaction. This statute is aimed at foreign government controlled agents engaged in non-political activities.
Also, 18 U.S.C. § 2386 requires registration by certain organizations which engage in political activity, civilian military activity, is under foreign control, or has as its purpose the overthrow the government by force.
Finally, 50 U.S.C. § 851, requires registration of persons who have knowledge of or have received instruction or assignment in espionage, counterespionage or sabotage service or tactics of a foreign country or political party.
See our related statutes page for more details.

ROCHESTER, NY – The RIT (18-2) men's lacrosse team jumped out a 10-3 halftime lead and advanced to the semifinals of the 2013 NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Championship with a 14-5 win over Tufts University (16-5) in the quarterfinals from Tiger Stadium on a warm, breezy, Wednesday afternoon. The Tigers, ranked third in the final USILA Division III pool, will face No. 1 and undefeated SUNY Cortland (19-0) in the National Semifinals on Sunday, May 19 in Cortland, NY. RIT has now won 12 straight games.
"I thought that was a complete team effort today," said RIT Head Coach Jake Coon. "Our defense was great, (Pat) Johnston was great in net, the face-off guys were great and our offense played great."
RIT's defense held the Jumbos to five goals, forcing Tufts into 21 turnovers. Pat Johnston (Norwell, MA/Norwell) picked up his 18th win of the season, making 15 saves. Luke Wolfe (Buffalo, NY/Williamsville North) and Joe Dupra (Pittsford, NY/Pittsford Mendon) led RIT with two caused turnovers apiece, while Elliott Cowburn (Oakville, ON/Holy Trinity) had a caused turnover and six ground balls.
"Our defense had a game plan going into today and they stuck with it," said Coon. "They played under control and let Pat see the shots coming and he made the saves."
Jack Krzyston (Bedford, NH/Bishop Guertin), Eddie Kiesa (Syracuse, NY/Jamesville-Dewitt) and Kyle Aquin (Hamilton, Ontario/St. Jean De Brebeuf) led RIT's offense with four points apiece. Kryzston and Kiesa each had three goals and an assist, while Aquin tallied two goals and dished out a pair of assists. Allister Warren (Toronto, Ontario/Malvern Collegiate Institute) scored a pair of goals, while Taylor Wisman (Seattle, WA/Inglemoor) had a goal and two assists for the Tigers who advance to their second national semifinals in three years. Kryston recored his 100th career point in the victory.
"Our offense executed the game plan very well today," stated Coon who is now 67-12 (.848) in four years at the helm of the Tigers program. "We stayed under control and buried shots when we had them."
Shots were 43-34 in favor of RIT, who also won the ground ball battle 48-32. The Tigers dominated at the face-off "X", winning 16-of-23. Junior Tyler Brooks-Lambert (Seneca Castle, NY/Midlakes) won 13-of-20 draws and had nine ground balls. PJ Hart (Camillus, NY/West Genesee) was 3-for-3 on the afternoon.
"(Tyler) Brooks-Lambert, (PJ) Hart, Mac Keehfus (Jamesville, NY/Jamesville-Dewitt), Luke Wolfe (Buffalo, NY/Williamsville North), Brad Gillies (Oakville, Ontario/St. Thomas Aquinas), and Matt Hossack (Port Perry, Ontario/Port Perry) all did outstanding jobs today on face-offs," said Coon. "If the face-off guys didn't win it clean, our wings would come in and win the ground ball."
Andrew Fiamengo led Tufts with a goal and an assist. Chris Schoenhut, Cole Bailey, Garrett Clarke and Peter Bowers each had goals for the Jumbos who finish their season with a 16-5 record. Patton Watkins took the loss in net for Tufts, making 17 saves.
Wisman opened the scoring with 9:57 to play in the first quarter on his 27th goal of the season. Then, Kryzston scored off a feed from Aquin with 3:08 to play in the opening quarter to give RIT a 2-0 lead. After a goal from Fiamengo cut RIT's lead to 2-1, goals by Aquin and Gillies to close out the quarter gave RIT a 4-1 lead. The Tigers out-shot Tufts 13-5 over the opening 15 minutes and missed a couple of point-blank chances early on.
Johnston made a tremendous sliding save on a point-blank chance early in the second quarter to keep it 4-1. Right after, Krzyston and Zack Thompson (Orangeville, Ontario/Culver Academy) extended RIT's lead to 6-1 at the 12:09 mark of the quarter. Schoenhut scored a man-up goal with 11:09 to play in the half cutting the Tiger's lead to 6-2.
The Tigers rattled off four straight goals later in the second quarter to take the win out of Tufts' sails, grabbing a 10-2 lead on Kiesa's second goal of the quarter off an assist from Krzyston. Aquin, Hossack and Kiesa each had goals in that stretch for RIT.
Peter Bowers scored for Tufts with 1:31 to play in the first half, making it a 10-3 RIT lead at halftime.
Allister Warren scored the lone goal of the third quarter, tallying an unassisted goal with 13:49 to play in the quarter giving RIT an 11-3 lead.
Cole Bailey opened the fourth-quarter scoring for Tufts, tallying his 30th goal of the season at the 11:35 mark. Warren, Krzyston and Kiesa scored consecutive goals for RIT, making 14-4 RIT. Garrett Clarke scored late for Tufts making it a 14-5 final.
The Tigers improved to 13-0 at home this season and have won 20 straight home contests dating back to April, 2012. Under Coon, RIT is 44-3 in home contests.
RIT is now 13-14 all-time in 15 different NCAA Tournament appearances. Under Coon, RIT has made four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and advance to the national semifinal game for the second time in three years. RIT advanced to the quarterfinals in 2010 and 2012. The Tigers are 7-3 in NCAA play since 2010.
The Tigers exacted a bit of revenge on the Jumbos on Wednesday. Tufts ended RIT's seasons in the NCAA Tournament in each of the last two years. In 2011, Tufts defeated RIT 16-12 in the semifinals in Rochester. Last year, RIT fell to the Jumbos 15-13 in the quarterfinals in Medford, Mass.
The game Sunday at Cortland is a rematch from a classic contest on March 27 that Cortland won 12-11 in double overtime. RIT held an 11-9 lead late in the fourth quarter before Cortland rallied. These two teams last met in the NCAA Tournament back in 2010 with Cortland coming away with a 15-7 win in the quarterfinals. Cortland leads the all-time series between the two schools, 20-13. Cortland advanced to the semifinals after defeating Western New England, 12-7 on Wednesday.

A John Steinbeck EncyclopediaBrian Railsback
This product is currently unavailable.
"Having had such a reference would have saved Railsback countless hours of labor if such had been available when he began his studies of this multi-genre and 1962 Nobel Prize-winning author. He and Meyer head a team of Steinbeck scholars in compiling relevant topics from Abner, the Aerial Engineer (in Bombs Away) to The Wrath of John Steinbeck (a pamphlet written by a friend in 1939). In addition to alphabetical and topical lists of entries, the volume includes a Steinbeck chronology (1902-1968) and introductory essay by Steinbeck biographer Jackson J. Benson. An annotated list of Steinbeck archives is appended." - Reference & Research Book News "More than 1,200 alphabetical entries cover Steinbeck's major works along with lesser-known articles, family, friends and biographers, books read, and awards. An introductory essay by Steinbeck scholar Jackson J. Benson, a list of Steinbeck archives, university collections, and research centers, and an extensive bibliography add dimension to the numerous lengthy, signed entries. An alphabetical list of entries begins the encyclopedia, providing a useful, quick overview of the main text. An additional topical list indicates the volume's scope, grouping entries under headings for specific awards; concepts and characters in Steinbeck's works; literary, political, and cultural influences; and places, ships, and vehicles, both real and fictional. Entries guide users to additional and related information through boldfaced terms and names, along with see references. The editors specifically designed the encyclopedia for use by high school and college students, literature teachers, and scholars. A detailed index completes the work. Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through faculty/researchers." - Choice "[T]his Encyclopedia will serve the needs of a diverse audience, from high school students to established academics, very well... it is full of well-organized information on Steinbeck's life and work, and it does provide a panoramic sweep of the history of scholarship on this major author." - Reference Reviews "Wide-ranging alphabetical entries, many of which have source notes, cover characters, settings, and the people and places that influenced Steinbeck's life and work. Commentary on the author's nonfiction writing makes up about half of the entries. Information on both the print and film versions of various titles adds a dimension and reminds readers how Steinbeck's universal themes easily translate into other mediums. Further-reading lists for many of the entries are useful...[t]he editors have supplied a well-researched study of the writer's art and the people and places that shaped it. This will be a quality addition to collections with other sources of literary criticism, and a good start for those without." - School Library Journal

I enjoyed learning about statistics, probability, zero, infinity, number sequences, and more in this heavily illustrated kids' book called How to Be a Math Genius, by Mike Goldsmith. But would my 11-year daughter like it as much? I handed it to her after school and she become absorbed in it until called for dinner. She took it to the dinner table and read it while we ate. The next day, she asked for the book so she could finish it. Loaded with fun exercises (like cutting a hole through a sheet of paper so you can walk through it), How to Be a Math Genius will show kids (and adults) that math is often complicated, but doesn't need to be boring. (This book is part of DK Children's How to Be a Genius series. See my review of How to Be a Genius.)
