Cattaraugus Indian Reservation, NY - A fast moving fire tore through a home overnight along Old Lake Shore Road.
Fire officials tell 2 On Your Side that the home's occupant was burning leaves earlier in the night. The fire was not completely out when the homeowner went to bed, and the winds spread the fire to the home.
The resident was able to escape the home without getting hurt, but the home was a total loss.

Sociology, our mission
The goal of the UAB Department of Sociology is to be ranked among the best programs in medical sociology in the nation. Resources are in place to accomplish this through the Department's current research links and opportunities with faculty in UAB's medical school and with the many research centers and clinical programs that exist on campus.
The focus of instruction at the graduate level is the sociology of health and medicine. Students are trained broadly in theory and methods, but the primary goal is to train medical sociologists. We encourage an interdisciplinary approach and seek to maintain and grow our partnerships with the Schools of Medicine and Public Health, and campus interdisciplinary research centers. At the undergraduate level, we offer a general degree in sociology, with concentrations available in social psychology and medical sociology.

text: The Sun Advocate reported on March 5, that the Pinnacle Canyon boys basketball team took second place in the Utah School Sports Alliance state championship game. But due to some rule considerations, Pinnacle has now been named co-champions of the league along with Rockwell High School. During the tourney Pinnacle's leading scorer, was disqualified for the championship game. However, after a review of the league rules, it was stipulated that he had been disqualified without merit. The league then set up a rematch of the state title game between Rockwell and Pinnacle at Utah Valley University. But Rockwell refused to play due to various reasons, said Pinnacle Head Basketball Coach Jeff Bowen. At the end of the season Pinnacle's record with Rockwell was 3-1, their only loss coming when the team's leading scorer was not allowed to play.

HELPER/MURRAY - Masaji Imai, our dear dad, grandpa, great-grandpa, brother and uncle passed away peacefully at his home the day after celebrating his 97th birthday while under the loving care of his son, Boyd and daughter, Peggy. Born January 10, 1916 to Chogoro "Frank" and Tane Nakamura, Masaji was the second of seven children. At age four through a Japanese tradition, a childless couple, Kamenosuke and Hatsu Imai, adopted him in order to have their family name carried on. He was raised in Salt Lake City and graduated from West High School and attended the University of Utah. He valued education and was proud that he had all of his children and grandchildren graduate from institutes of higher learning.
Masaji married Tsuruko Iwata in March of 1944. They had 62 plus wonderful years together raising four children in Carbon County. He worked in the ozokerite wax mine for the war effort then became the bookkeeper for Royal and Spring Canyon mines. He was recruited to be the paymaster for the Kaiser mine in Sunnyside. After retirement in 1982, Masaji returned to Murray to be closer to his brothers and sisters, and so he could golf, bowl and raise vegetables from his beautiful garden. He lovingly and unselfishly took care of his mother-in-law and Tsuru for over 22 years while both women battled Alzheimer's.
Masaji, like his wife, had great artistic abilities. His grandchildren loved getting handmade cards of his cartoon characters, as well as his handcrafted wooden toys. The family will treasure the photographs he took and developed himself before the days of digital cameras. He had a lake on a golf course named after him, cursed the Jazz when they missed free throws, and although a registered Republican, proudly voted straight party Democrat. He will be remembered for his amazing mental capabilities, even at age 96, as he typed on his Mac and read the classics on his iPad.
Preceded in death by his parents, wife, brothers, Karl and Kay Nakamura; Masaji is survived by his children; Randall (Jane), Peggy, Boyd, Tami (Brad) King; grandchildren, Skyler Masaji King, Kitani (Jeff) Anderson, Natsuma "Nate" Imai, Hunter (Britni) King; one great-grandchild, Cort Bradley Anderson; sisters, Takae Nakamura, Aki (Neil) Chow, Betty (Ray) Komachi; brother, Masuji (Eleanor); and many beloved nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express appreciation to Dr. Robert W. Mackie, who never gave up on dad's heart.
Viewing from 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 17. Funeral services will be held Friday, Jan. 18, 2013 at 11 a.m. at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 4760 S State, Murray. Friends may call on the family one hour prior to the services. Interment will follow at Mountain View Memorial Estates.
In lieu of flowers family suggests contributions to Salt Lake City Meals on Wheels or Alzheimer's Association Utah Chapter. Online condolences at www.jenkins-soffe.com.

|Avery, Watauga Fire Units at Seven Devils Fire
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 24 February 2013 06:56
Avery and Watauga County fire units were called the scene of house fire in Seven Devils just before dawn this morning. Foscoe units joined those from Seven Devils, Linville, Newland and other Avery departments, first arriving units reporting a lot of smoke from the fire on Buckeye Lane.
Just after arrival, firemen reported flames breaking through the walls and roof of the structure, and the fire attack was on. It took several hours to fully extinguish hot spots of the fire, which gutted the interior of the home. The cause and other details are yet to come from fire investigators.

Always joyful, sometimes ludicrously chaotic, Rome is a celebration of over 2,000 years of history. It combines modern dynamism as Italy's capital with that unique Mediterranean sense of the "dolce vita." Given such appeal, visitors will find our host of hotels in Rome to suit every pocket and expectation.
First-time visitors should don sensible shoes and leave our Rome hotels early for the landmark Coliseum, Forum, Pantheon and St. Peter's Basilica. For some grand vistas of the "Eternal City" and the nearby Alban Hills, climb Palatine Hill. Just as rewarding is a visit to the vast museums and tombs of the Vatican.
Alternatively, leave your central Rome hotel and the city hubbub behind and head for the Villa Borghese. Unwind in its lovely gardens and small galleries, or take to the city's back streets and explore the wealth of hidden gems beneath the tangle of washing lines. When the lure of expensive designer clothes becomes too much to bear, the fashion-conscious head to Via Condotti whilst the younger generation make for the hip Via del Corso.
For romantics, an evening stroll through the Trastevere district is a lovely way to end the day before returning, tired but happy, to our Rome hotels.

1. Place cauliflower florets and garlic in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover and steam until very tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place florets and garlic in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water, cover and microwave on High for 3 to 5 minutes.)
2. Place the cooked cauliflower and garlic in a food processor. Add buttermilk, 2 teaspoons oil, butter, salt and pepper; pulse several times, then process until smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and garnish with chives, if desired. Serve hot.
Tip: No buttermilk? You can use buttermilk powder prepared according to package directions. Or make "sour milk": mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup milk.

Things Fall Apartby Chinua Achebe
Staff Pick
Before Things Fall Apart was published in 1958, few novels existed in English that depicted African life from the African perspective. And while the book has paved the way for countless authors since, Chinua Achebe's illuminating work remains a classic of modern African literature. Drawing on the history and customs passed down to him, Achebe tells the tale Okonkwo, a strong-willed member of a late-19th-century Nigerian village. As we follow Okonkwo's story, we get a glimpse of the intricacies of village life and the complex social structures that come into play. We then see the devastating effects of European colonization on the region and on Okonkwo himself, whose rise and fall become intertwined with the changing power dynamics. Things Fall Apart is essential reading for anyone who wants a more nuanced understanding of other ways of life, of culture clashes, of what being civilized really entails.
"When it was published fifty years ago, Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart caused a stir for its revelation of something hitherto strange and unfamiliar in the world of literature: genuine African voices. Achebe was not the first African novelist, as he has sometimes wrongly been called, but his use of standard English to produce believable characters who inhabited a complex and authentic world marked two existing traditions of writing about Africa as evolutionary dead ends." Howard W. French, The Nation (read the entire Nation review)
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Publisher Comments:
Chinua Achebe's first novel portrays the collision of African and European cultures in people's lives. Okonkwo, a great man in Igbo traditional society, cannot adapt to the profound changes brought about by British colonial rule. Yet, as in classic tragedy, Okonkwo's downfall results from his own character as well as from external forces.
"This handsome trade paperback honors the 50th anniversary of Things Fall Apart, one of the most widely read and beloved novels of our time. It's a true modern classic." Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World (Copyright 2006 Washington Post Book World Service/Washington Post Writers Group)
"Achebe is gloriously gifted with the magic of an ebullient, generous, great talent." Nadine Gordimer, The New York Times Book Review
"A vivid imagination illuminates every page....This novel genuinely succeeds in penetrating tribal life from the inside." Times Literary Supplement
Achebe's masterpiece tells the story of Okonkwo, strongman of an Ibo village in Nigeria, as he witnesses the destruction of his culture and the loss of his own place within it.
Things Fall Apart tells two intertwining stories, both centering on Okonkwo, a "strong man" of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first, a powerful fable of the immemorial conflict between the individual and society, traces Okonkwos fall from grace with the tribal world. The second, as modern as the first is ancient, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo's world with the arrival of aggressive European missionaries. These perfectly harmonized twin dramas are informed by an awareness capable of encompassing at once the life of nature, human history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul.
About the Author
Chinua Achebe was born in Nigeria in 1930. He was raised in the large village of Ogidi, one of the first centers of Anglican missionary work in Eastern Nigeria, and is a graduate of University College, Ibadan.
Cited in the London Sunday Times as one of the "1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century" for defining "a modern African literature that was truly African" and thereby making "a major contribution to world literature," Chinua Achebe has published novels short stories, essays, and children's books. His volume of poetry, Christmas in Biafra, written during the Biafran War, was the joint winner of the first Commonwealth Poetry Prize. Of his novels, Arrow of God won the New Statesman--Jock Campbell Award, and Anthills of the Savannah was a finalist for the 1987 Booker Prize. Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe's masterpiece, has been published in fifty different languages and has sold millions of copies in the United States since its original publication in 1958-1959.
Mr. Achebe lives with his wife in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, where they teach at Bard College. They have four children and three grandchildren.

Greek girl on Galileo satellite Julkaistu: 16/01/2012, Viimeisin päivitys: 06/02/2012
On 16th January 2012, a Greek jury awarded the first prize in the Galileo drawing competition to 12-year-old Anastasia Panagiotakopoulou. One of the satellites in the Galileo constellation will be named after Anastasia.
Anastasia, born in 2000, is the winner of the Galileo Drawing Competition in Greece and will have one of the Galileo satellites named after her. A jury panel, composed of Mr. Manos Kitsonas(EUGENIDES FOUNDATION), Mr. Kostas Spyropoulos (DIMOKRITOS INSTITUTE), Mr. Nikos Maroulakis (well-known Greek illustrator in Children's Books) and Mr. Argyris Peroulakis (EU Representation) chose Anastasia's entry using criteria such as relevance of the drawing to the given topic, originality of expression and aesthetic appeal.
At an award ceremony at the Eugen foundation in Athens, Anastasia was presented with a certificate and a trophy representing the satellite that will be named after her.
The Galileo Drawing Competition
The Galileo Drawing Competition took place in each of the 27 European Union Member States and was open to all children living in these countries who were born in 2000, 2001 or 2002. The competition first ran in Belgium and Bulgaria, 10 April – 31 May 2011. It then opened in the remaining countries between 1 September and 15 November 2011. Children were encouraged to create a piece of artwork that represents the theme 'Space and Aeronautics'. A jury of national personalities selected each country's winner who will have one of the satellites of the Galileo Programme named after them.
The Galileo Programme
Galileo is Europe's global navigation satellite system providing a highly accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. Galileo will provide three early services in 2014/2015 based on an initial constellation of 18 satellites: an initial Open Service, an initial Public Regulated Service and an initial Search-and-Rescue Service. The Galileo Programme Satellites are scheduled to be launched in phases as of 21st October 2011 and until the constellation is complete.

Feb. 11, 2013 – We're deep into editing and layouts here at Allergic Living on the Spring 2013 edition of the magazine, so I thought I'd let our followers know what we're working on.
For our cover article, writer Carolyn Black has an incredibly insightful article on the impact on some marriages of the day-to-day vigilance in managing food allergies and celiac disease. It includes stories of husbands and wives who are far apart in their approaches to managing children's allergies – and does that cause stress! But this also turns out to be an issue with a later in life diagnosis of celiac or allergy (when a couple's eating habits change overnight).
While studies have shown that quality of life suffers in families with food allergic kids, this is the first time I've seen couples speaking specifically – and so honestly and directly – about the impact on their marriages. Their stories are heartfelt and make you realize that when we speak of "allergy management," what a journey that can be.
But what I love in this article is that Carolyn doesn't just dwell on difficulties. She interviewed psychologists and parenting experts and shares the best of their advice for helping couples work as a team again. If food restrictions are in any way hurting your relationship, you've got to read this article.
I'm also so glad we'll be publishing senior health writer Lisa Fitterman's article on gluten's effects on the brain. Lisa delves into the gamut of cognitive symptoms that those with celiac report: from headaches to insomnia and brain fog. But she goes even deeper – interviewing prominent U.K. neurologist Dr. Marios Hadjivassiliou to gain a greater understanding of his latest and groundbreaking research.
He is finding profound neurological effects in those with celiac disease who haven't been diagnosed; it's unlike anything we've known before. Dr. Hadjivassiliou wants to spread the word that "it's imperative that we change the mindset about celiac disease and brain dysfunction." AL mag hopes to help to that end with this article.
While there's lots of thought-provoking reading, the AL team is also busy writing and photographing lots of great lifestyle features – to make the Spring issue an uplifting and inspiring read. There are many stories that I could mention, but as a hard drive full of editing awaits, I'll just share a couple more.
• The lineup from our fabulous food team: New Food Editor Cybele Pascal offers an inspired selection of allergy-friendly, gluten-free Asian recipes. It was pure pleasure to "have to" test her Pad Thai (yes, allergen-free Pad Thai!!) at our food shoot. Delicious!
Senior Editor Alisa Fleming gets creative with brunch waffles and pancakes (no dairy, no gluten, no any top 8 allergens), and Associate Food Editor Elizabeth Gordon brings us outstanding chocolate cupcakes and cookies for spring.
• Just in time for spring allergies, we'll tell you how to design a sneeze-free garden, and we've got amazing allergy-friendly gear for kids. There's great advice from our expert columnists, including a terrific article from Gina Clowes on the broader implications of the Lesley University agreement on the disability rights of food-allergic students.
FYI, if you'd like to get this issue but haven't subscribed yet, that's easy to do online here.
I'd better get back to that editing. But I'll be looking most forward to our readers' feedback on the new issue, which will land in mailboxes about the first week of April. Feel free to send your comments to email@example.com. We hope you'll enjoy the issue.
warmly, Gwen

2013 vintage is available for $10.99
Shoofly Shiraz 2010
Syrah/Shiraz from Australia
Winemaker's Notes
On the nose, the 2010 Shiraz shows earthy gravel, spicy licorice and dense dark mulberries, while the sweet upfront berry fruit presented on tasting gives way to complex cedar, earth and spice notes, wrapping up with ample structure and grip. The vibrant, juicy fruit runs the length of the palate and lingers with a "have another glass" finish.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Polished and supple, this is brimming with red berry, black cherry and delicate spice flavors, all coursing through the expressive finish. Drink now through 2020."
Shoofly Winery
Shoofly's winemaker Ben Riggs is a native of McLaren Vale and has been crafting some of the region's finest for two decades. Ben knows his stuff and where to get it – his roster of grape growers is one of the most sought after contact lists in the country. Premium regions produce the best fruit and the grapes come from a "who's who" of Australian growers and viticultural neighborhoods – Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Langhorne Creek, Adelaide Hills and Heathcote. View all Shoofly Wines
About Other Australia
With a landmass the size of the US, Australia has just as many appellations. Many wines are simply labeled from their state of origin. Some of these are the most popular:
New South Wales- New South Wales has a variety of smaller wine growing regions. Many wines are a blend of these smaller appellations, leading to the more encompassing designation of New South Wales.
Western Australia– A small percentage of Australia's winemaking occurs on the West Coast. The largest Australian state, Western Australia, includes the appellations Margaret River and Great Southern.
Southeastern Australia– This appellation encompasses the states of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Grapes are often trucked in from at least 2 of these states for crushing and bottling, giving the wine a more general appellation of origin. This is the broadest appellation in Australia.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

For the price I was honestly not expecting too much and it gave me exactly what I expected.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

At first purchase, I did not care for the front top. I had the bronze color which was a bit shiny, so I toned it down with mascara and wore the wig. I tell you, both women and men complimented me daily on the hair. The style is short and lovely, fun,natural looking (after toning the shine of the front spikey part), youthful and flirty. This is a great wig for short styles, and very complimentary.
Most Liked Negative Review
The hair is not as curly as pictured. The top of the wig has straight pieces that cannot be combed or styled. The sides are nice and tapered.

a little good and a little bad
By Mrs. T
from Birmingham, AL
I received this unit yesterday. As mentioned in other reviews, the wig is very spiky on top. That hair is noticably synthetic. Very prickly looking and to the touch. Unfortunately there are two different textures on this wig, which makes it look a bit unnatural. They could have used more hair. The wig was very sparse in areas and you could see the wig cap/net. I own at least 30 wigs and this unit had less hair than any of them. I did like the sides and back of the wig. Too bad that they did not use the same hair all over. I would not buy again, but it is okay for something fun and occasional.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

As the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words. I love graphic novels –stories told using both pictures and words—because you can glean so much of the emotion and action of the story from the artwork. I recently read two poignant memoirs, which explore the final years of the lives of beloved parents.
In Tangles: A story about Alzheimer's, my Mother, and Me, the beauty is in the great detail that Sarah Leavitt shares with the reader. Some of the details are frustrating and heartbreaking to read and see, as her mother gradually loses more and more of her capacity to thrive; still, the little daily challenges and special moments shared by family are what make caregiving for an ailing loved one so rewarding.
Joyce Farmer illustrates the final four years of her father and stepmother, Lars and Rachel, in Special Exits: A Graphic Memoir. Her writing and drawing style are much different than Leavitt's, but again, you feel the full emotion of her experience supporting them in their final years.
I was struck by the role of cats in each of these books. Note p. 192 of Special Exits, where the beloved Siamese cat, Ching, is loving on her "Daddy" so much that he can't breathe. In five cartoon boxes, author Farmer paints love and affection between cat and human, while deftly illustrating the frailty of her dying father. In Tangles, (p. 65-66) Mom adores Lucy the cat, who actually wants nothing to do with her. Even though Leavitt admits to feeling some jealousy of her mother's adoration of the cat, she makes little books with cards and photos about Lucy, which her mom then carries around with her. The picture of the cat hiding under the covers on Mom and Dad's bed is simple, yet priceless.
We have quite a few other memoirs in our graphic novel collection.
I have not read much in the way of teen novels lately, but did get around to Paul Griffin's 2010 effort entitled The Orange Houses. It concerns three rather unlikely allies, brought together by various circumstances into a state of friendship. The novel takes place during the course of a little over one month and the stories of these three individuals are told in alternating chapters.
First, there is Tamika, or Mik, who has been partially deaf since childhood. She attends a tough high school and manages to close herself off to the world around her by using her disability as an excuse.
Then there's Jimmi Sixes, a nineteen year old war veteran, whose girlfriend committed suicide while he was enlisted. He turns to drugs, and despite trying to straighten up his life, his thoughts are regularly interrupted by a nagging question...Is life really worth living? And if so, then at what expense? Although he is Mik's protective friend, (especially from the bullies she encounters at school), he is nonetheless detested by her mother as being a bad influence.
Finally, there is Fatima, a rather gentle soul who is an illegal immigrant from Africa. She arrives in New York on a ship all alone, with only the clothes on her back. She is looking and hoping for a better future in the United States and longs to see the Statue of Liberty up close. She is also a whiz at making beautiful, folded paper creations that are endearing mementos to those she shares them with.
This novel is a fast moving and absorbing read, ending in a dreadful outcome that the reader will not soon forget. The "orange houses" in the title refers to the projects, where all three characters reside; a place that offers little hope of redemption, where poverty prevails and where life is put on hold. The book made it onto the 2010 list of the best books for teens.
Reading this novel, brought back very fond memories of meeting one of my favorite teen authors, Robert Cormier, who did a book talk at Kent State University in the late 1970s while I attended library school there.
During the mid to late 70s and beyond, Mr. Cormier had written The Chocolate War, published in 1974 and I Am the Cheese, published in 1977, probably his most prominent and attention receiving books that were later made into movies. His other works included Beyond the Chocolate War, Tunes for Bears to Dance To, After the First Death, and Other Bells for Us to Ring.
His novels were famous at the time for their complex intensity. They covered sensitive as well as controversial themes, such as abuse, violence, revenge, betrayal, and conspiracy.
All in all Cormier, who passed away in late 2000, was considered by many experts as a gifted author and a major influence on teen literature. To this day, KPL still owns many of his books in their collection, and if you are not familiar with his writings, whether you are a teen or not, do yourself a favor and check them out.
I recently read two books about people living with autism. I found both of them to be moving and insightful.
Now I See the Moon: a mother, a son, a miracle - When Elaine Hall's adopted son, Neal, was diagnosed with autism, she had a variety of negative emotional responses to the news. Over time, Hall learned not only to accept her son's condition, but to see and appreciate the very special gifts that her son and other autistic children offer. Hall, who already had experience training child actors, developed a groundbreaking program to engage autistic children in drama and other performing arts.
The Journal of Best Practices David Finch describes, with humor and insight, his own journey of discovering that he has Asperger syndrome. He developed a very systematic process for understanding his condition and improving his relationship with his wife and his children.
I have been known to make fun of my lawyer friends for reading books about lawyers, so I felt a little self-conscious when I started to read Running the Books: the Adventures of an Accidental Prison Librarian. Avi Steinberg's account of working in a Boston prison library alternates between thoughtful explorations of prisoners' lives and prison culture and laugh out loud stories involving people he encounters; both guards and inmates.
He starts teaching writing classes in the prison and has one class of women who want to see pictures of the authors before deciding whether they will read her/his book. He decides to incorporate this into his class, passing around a picture and having them write down their impressions of the author and then write down their vote. They like Toni Morrison, think Federico Garcia Lorca is trouble, sense that Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a liar, and one woman votes, "Hellzz ya!!," for Walt Whitman.
Stories like this and accounts of an inmate with a plan to become a TV chef, a pimp writing a memoir, and the time, mid-mugging, Avi and mugger recognize each other makes for a great read.
Sally Spencer's latest mystery The Ring of Death blew me away! I had no idea who the suspect was until he was revealed. Nor, had I guessed what the ring of death was until D.C.I. Monika Panaitowski walked into it. Sally Spencer did a fantastic job of attaching readers to her British character, DCI Charlie Woodend and now, Monika is following in her beloved boss's footsteps. In The Ring of Death Monika often asked herself "what would Charlie do?" But, in spite of the twist and turns, oppositions and supporters Monika proved herself to be a topnotch investigator.
I can't wait for Sally Spencer's next DCI Monika Paniatowsky Mystery! The Echoes of the Dead is due out this spring!
Are you wondering what great books you missed reading this year? It's the time of year when the "Best Of" book lists are compiled and these lists are a wonderful opportunity to check out what titles the reviewers and critics preferred. I always enjoy taking a look through them, and I always end up adding a number of the suggested titles to my reading list.
These lists represent a wide range of reading preferences and offer some great choices to catch up on your reading as winter settles upon us. We even have our own Best of 2010 list here at KPL! Even if the holidays have you hustling and bustling, take a moment to click on these links to NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and fictionawardwinners.com to see what all the reading buzz of 2010 is about. Happy Reading!
Throughout this year I've kept a list of the books that I thought might end up on my Best of 2010 list. A few weeks ago, KPL published the lists that some of our staff members created.
The problem with my list, though, is that I keep adding books to it! The one I added today is Art and Max by David Wiesner. For years, David Wiesner has been creating books that nudge us to step out on a wobbly twig to appreciate the complexities of his artwork. In this new picture book, he nudges us again. Take a look at Art and Max . . . I'm guessing you may be adding to your list, too!
The year 2010 marks several milestones in the life of Mark Twain. November 30, 2010 is the 175th anniversary of his birth. This year also is the 125th anniversary of the publication of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), a book considered by many to be the most important novel in American literature. (Read what some local literary experts recently said about Mark Twain here.)
And this year marks the 100th anniversary of his death on April 27, 1910. When he died, Mark Twain left behind a mountainous autobiography that has only now been published. The author stipulated that his recollections on life could not be printed until 100 years after his death, so that anyone he might offend would be long dead, as would their children.
To the delight and surprise of booksellers everywhere, the four-pound, 500,000 word autobiography is "flying off the shelves," according to a Nov. 19 story in the New York Times.
The modest 7,500 print run is now up to 300,000. Sales are being driven by scholars and ardent collectors, but also generations of readers whose affection for this most American of authors began when they were introduced to Huckleberry Finn. At last we can know a little better the heart and mind of a fascinating man.
In the summer of 1968 Pa packed up his three daughters and put them on a plane headed for Oakland, California. He wanted his girls to get to know their mother. Cecile had abandoned her children when they were very young. Delphine, the oldest child, took on the parental role for her sisters as if she had been entirely responsible for their every action.
In One Crazy Summer, in the midst of the Black Panther movement, Rita Williams-Garcia does a terrific job of telling a family's story of discovery. Delphine, Vonetta and Fern set off for the adventure of their lives and not only found out a lot about their mother but they also discovered a lot about themselves.
I was employed at Kalamazoo College in an earlier life so I was particularly interested to read Gail Griffin's new book which chronicles the horrific deaths of two students on campus in 1999. Griffin's extensive research introduces us to the people involved, the circumstances of their relationship, and most fascinatingly, the mixed reactions of the campus community during the aftermath.
Through interviews as well as police and campus records, Maggie Wardle and the student who shot her, Neenef Odah, become more than mere subjects in an investigation. I feel as if Maggie was someone I knew. It's been several days since I finished the book, and indeed I find myself still digesting the story and—because I'm familiar with the campus and with many of the faculty and staff involved—reliving the pain, particularly as the 11th anniversary of the deaths approaches. Griffin, herself, is Parfet Distinguished Professor of English at the College, so her recounting is not wholly impersonal. She was there. And it is that fact that gives us the unique perspective into how the entire campus was affected during the months and years after.
Obviously, this is not an easy story to read, but it was both thought-provoking and fast-moving, and I didn't want to miss a word.

Childhood Obesity
What are the risks of childhood obesity?
Type 2 diabetes, previously found almost entirely in adulthood and thought to be unusual in children, now accounts for up to 44% of newly diagnosed cases of diabetes in childhood, paralleling the increase in the prevalence of obesity.
High blood pressure and elevated cholesterol, especially elevated "bad" LDL and triglycerides, are much more common in obese children.

Hey Keith, buddy, pal,
How would you like to turn that newbie pointer list into an article for the Survival Guide, and maybe and introductory article for the OMP...I'd send ya a T-Shirt if you did!
I'm not a techie, but I'm not a phobic either. In Windows, I've played weith the settings (even the registry) a bit. I really lost the plot somehwere around Windows 3.1. That's when everything got too hard, and it was easier just to go with the flow. About that time my eldest son got old enough to know more about computers than me so it was easier to let him fix problems for me!
I've recently set up a dual boot sytem, and it was much harder than I anticipated. So here's a few things I've learned.
1. Make sure you've got heaps of time. It will take ten times longer than you expect!
2. Make sure you've got heaps of hard disk space. I started out with a 4 gig hard drive and thought from what I read that 2 gigs would be enough to install Linux. Wrong! Yes you can get Linux operating on a 2 gig partition, but you won't be able to install all the packages on your CDs and they will become necessary as you start to install software. Make sure you have enough space on your Linux partition to install EVERYTHING!
3. When you try to partition the hard drive, the first thing you have to do on an existing Windows system is defrag the hard drive to move everything into the first part of the drive. You don't use the Wiindows Defrag program for this. Windows helpfully sticks some data near the end of the drive and marks them as essential for Windows so that the defrag utility does not move them. Use Norton's Speeddisk which will move these blocks. But when you quit Speed disk Windows resumes its "helpful" behaviour, and that data is back there. You need to press the reset button before you quit Speed disk and boot from your Linux CD so that Bill Gates does not re-infect your hard drive before you can make your Linux partition.
4. Absorb all the stuff you can about permissions and users. You will need to tinker with files like /etc/fstab which determine who can access which files and devices.
5. Forget about using True Type fonts for a while at least. Most Linux programs use Type 1 fonts at the moment. You can convert your favourite fonts to Type 1, but I would come to terms with operating under Linux before you try to wrestle with installing fonts. The process is simple when you know how, but you need to know how your particular version of Linux operates and how your software uses fonts.
6. Learn to read all "README" files. I know you never did when you ran Windows but whenever you install anything in Linux, it is nearly always different to just downloaidng and decompressing.Eventually you can guess what needs to happen, but at the start read the README files.
7. Read everyihtng you can get on the net in forums like this. I've found that the first time I read something I didn't understand it, but later when I came across the problem at least I knew where the answer could be found.
8. Ask dumb questions on forums (after you've looked for the answers). Somebody will probably have an answer, and even if it's not the right answer for your system, it may point you towards the right answer. When you work out the right answer post it on the forum so that other people don't have to re-invent the wheel.
9. Try to make a reasonably qiuck transition to using as much Linux software as possible. Don't hang around having a foot in both camps... you will end up spending half your life rebooting your computer.
At the moment I'm using the following software:
Star Office for word processing, database and e-mail... the e-mail function although limited in some ways is actually the best all round performer in areas like reading HTML, attachments etc.
Opera 5 for browsing.. I've found it much more useful than Mozilla.
I'm still dependent on Windows for financial software, but I'm looking at getting Gnucash.
Hope this is helpful for other newbies.
Hey Keith, buddy, pal,
How would you like to turn that newbie pointer list into an article for the Survival Guide, and maybe and introductory article for the OMP...I'd send ya a T-Shirt if you did!
If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.
Woo, I need to think of something to write so I can get a t-shirt I'd be so proud!
Since you use Slackware how about a review and/or install and basic configuration article on Slackware 8.Woo, I need to think of something to write so I can get a t-shirt I'd be so proud!
I'm sure Aragorn would appreciate the article for the site. ;D Including some screenshots to it would be nice addition to that type of article.
Jim H
Hmm, I'll have to start working on that.
It would be my first time doing that sort of thing, so I might have to get one of you to look over it!
We'd be glad to review any submissions you'd have for us.. it helps out the site, and besides, we're too lazy to write our own content p
(kidding, kidding... we work hard... really...)
I agree,something on Slack8 would be really cool.Woo, I need to think of something to write so I can get a t-shirt I'd be so proud!
Just a couple of things....
1.Why would you want to install every package on the cd?
2.You certainly can use truetype fonts Mandrake distro will even go and search your computer for them.
3.Dual booting shouldn't have been that hard, so long as you set up your Windows first ( i am presuming you are dual booting linux and windows.
4. You will need all that space, if you are going to install every package, I am triple booting with Win98se (1.Gb) Mandrake 8.0 (700Mb) and Libranet (debian) (1.5Gb) and have more than enough apps installed.
5. Your point about partioning is valid, it makes sense to defrag the drive before installing Linux.
6. You should really set up your file access and devices when you do your install, not afterwards.
7. Starofficeis fine but a little slow, have you tried koffice in KDE?.
Just a few of my observations, no offence is meant
can i have a t-shirt ? please.........

Clippers 98, Memphis 91
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 12/15/07, 10:07am:
A couple times a year, a bad team will just hand you a basketball game. Memphis did and the Clips accepted. Memphis turned the ball over all night, but it wasn't as if the Clippers were doing a superlative job pressuring the ball.
When the Clippers were clicking on offense, it was because Chris Kaman was able to set up shop in the low post. I can't recall a game this season during which Kaman was so free to do whatever he wanted down on the block. But tonight, he was catching entry passes about seven feet from the hoop. And on the off-chance that Chris was further out, he was able to devour Mlicic and whomever the Grizz through on the double-team. At 7:13 in the 4th, the Clips ran Dan Dickau on a low screen, which left a Kyle Lowry-Mlicic double-team for Chris to feast on. Over the past ten days or so, Dunleavy has been running interference with his little guards down low for Kaman, and it's working because sets like these are yielding PG-off/balanced Center doubles for Chris.
With Patterson's departure and Thomas' gimpiness, Al Thornton should be getting more minutes in the coming weeks. While there's some sense in the Clips going small, Thornton gives up a lot defensively against guys like Hakim Warrick. I'm not sure what the solution is. Do you let Thornton cover Lamar Odom tomorrow night? It's a real compromise.
From ESPN.com:
Los Angeles Clippers forward Elton Brand this week took the next step in his recovery from surgery on his ruptured Achilles tendon. Brand went for a checkup in Delaware, where he had his surgery, and he was cleared to begin dribbling and taking stationary shots. "We are pretty much still with the original plan," said Dr. Craig Morgan, who performed the surgery at Christiana Care's Wilmington Hospital. "The rest of his rehabilitation is going to be getting his strength back." Brand, who suffered the injury during a regular offseason workout in August in Southern California, is set to begin the new activities Monday, according to the Los Angeles Times, which first had the report. A normal timetable for recovery from Achilles tendon injuries is about a year, but Brand is targeting February 2008 for his return. Morgan said Brand would need to have about 90 percent of his overall strength in his left Achilles tendon before he would be cleared to practice. Right now, he's at about 75 percent. "He looks good," Morgan said. "He is right on schedule." Brand, who was able to shed his walking boot in later October, has been able to participate in advanced elliptical and treadmill cardiovascular conditioning and aqua-therapy. He also has been on an upper-body strength program, along with rehabilitation of the injury itself.
A late-February return would be interesting. I'm dying to see Kaman Version 2.0 playing alongside a rehabilitated Elton.

KENMORE, N.Y.-- With gas prices topping four dollars a gallon these days, filling up at the pump is definitely hurting people's wallets.
One local dealership says investing in an electric car may put some money back in your pocket in the long run, and demand has been high.
"We've definitely seen a trend for consumers coming in and being very conscious of fuel economy," said Duane Paddock, President and CEO of Paddock Chevrolet in Kenmore.
With drivers feeling the pain at the pump, more fuel-efficient vehicles were some of the industry's best-sellers last month.
There are incentives for purchasing vehicles with better fuel economy, including a $7,500 tax credit for those who qualify.

Pentagon to Beef Up Cybersecurity Arsenal
Today in international tech news: The Pentagon plans to bolster cybersecurity; China considers lifting its videogame console ban; the UK looks at Google's tracking of Apple users' Web habits; and Antigua wants to recoup lost gambling revenue by launching a site that sells copyrighted material.
Jan 28, 2013 1:10 PM PT
The Pentagon's cybersecurity force will increase more than fivefold over the next several years, following the approval of a move requested by the head of the Defense Department's Cyber Command, The Washington Post reported.
The expansion will bolster the U.S.' ability to defend critical computer systems and carry out "offensive computer operations against foreign adversaries," according to The Post.
"Foreign adversaries" is a phrase that also popped up in The New York Times' article about the expansion.
News of the expansion broke Sunday, but it apparently was approved in late 2012, perhaps not long after U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's ominous "cyber Pearl Harbor" speech.
The potential for cyberthreats has been highlighted by a series of recent cyberattacks, including one on a Saudi Arabian oil company that scrubbed data from more than 30,000 computers, and a series of DDoS attacks carried out on U.S. banks.
While details of the cybersecurity expansion have not been finalized, The Post reported that the overhaul will create three types of forces under the Cyber Command umbrella: national mission forces to protect computer systems related to power grids; combat mission forces to help overseas commanders plan and carry out offensive operations; and cyberprotection forces to fortify the Defense Department's networks.
China Could Lift Videogame Console Ban
China's decade-long ban on videogame consoles could soon go away, according to the state-run China Daily.
Consoles such as Xbox and PlayStation are banned because of what China Daily described as "potential harm to the physical and mental development of the young." However, a source from the Ministry of Culture told the newspaper that the policy is under review.
Seven separate ministries issued the ban, and each would reportedly need to give approval in order to lift it.
Sony Computer Entertainment, which makes the PlayStation, opened a facility in China's Guangdong province last year.
Sony and Nintendo both saw their stock jump following the report, according to Bloomberg.
The console ban hasn't stopped Chinese youngsters from playing videogames. Computer games are all the rage in China, even prompting the rise of treatment centers for those who consider themselves addicted.
UK Looks at Google's Web Tracking of iPhone Users
An estimated 10 million people in the UK could have grounds to launch a privacy claim against Google for its alleged tracking of the Internet habits of Web users, according to The Guardian.
The issue stems from the way Google monitored online behavior by circumventing Apple's security settings on the iPhone, iPad and desktop versions of Apple's Safari Web browser. At least 10 British iPhone users have begun legal proceedings and "dozens more are being lined up," The Guardian reported.
Lawyers have reportedly ordered Google to divulge how much data it obtained, how it used that data, and the length of time the company used the information.
Antigua's Bizarre Website Proposal
The Caribbean island of Antigua will appear before the World Trade Organization on Monday to seek permission to run a website that sells music, movies and software.
The site, however, would ignore copyright laws, reported TorrentFreak.
The site is an attempt to recoup lost revenue when the U.S. started blocking Americans from using Antigua-based gambling websites, thereby depriving the country of billions of dollars.
The U.S. is also opposed to letting Antigua sell copyrighted products.
