I am a huge Harry Potter fanatic, and I love writing anything. I currently have two complete stories (The Gentleman He Used to Be and The Victory of the Lions), but I've got many works in progress or beta-ing. Here are some of my HP stats:
Favorite book: The Deathly Hallows (which else?)
Least favorite book: The Prisoner of Azkaban
Favorite movie: The Order of the Phoenix
Least favorite movie: The Chamber of Secrets
Favorite main character: Hermione
Favorite supporting character: Umbridge (that's what made OotP such a good movie)
Favorite canon ship: Ron/Hermione (they were MEANT FOR EACH OTHER!
Least favorite canon ship: Bill/Fleur
Favorite non-canon ship: Remus/James
Least favorite non-canon ship: Hermione/Snape (really?)
Favorite category: Next Generation
Least favorite category: Humor (so many "humor" fics really just aren't funny)
Describe who you are as a writer / your writing style:
I write to become a better writer, and because I love it. Words are my passion, but I don't consider myself to 'spin' or 'weave' them. I like exploring tone, reactions, and characterization. I enjoy writing about children because you can get away with a lot of far-out ideas that would never occur to an adult.
What to expect from me:
I write for fun, and for the love, not for any other benefits. I'm not usually a serious writing, although I enjoy a fair amount of drama. I occasionally take a turn for the dark side, but for the most part, I like to keep it light: family, friendship, adventure, that sort of thing!
Name areas of writing in which you excel:
I write for the plot, not the miniscule details. You'll never find that so-and-so did whatever-he-ddid because of whatever-he-found was in wherever-it-was in chapter whichever-it-was. Once I write something, I move on, and I don't end up relating chapter one to the epilogue very much. In a way, I suppose this could also be called my biggest writing weakness.
What type of stories do you prefer to write:
I like any story that I can churn out, as long as I really feel a sense of ownership. I love the feeling after I've spent a good two or three hours on the keyboard. My hands are hot, my brain is fried, and my document is riddled with mistakes, but the story is the best. I wish I could write a super-long fic, but as was previously mentioned, these require a lot of attention to small details. I may just have something in mind, though.
What type of stories do you dislike:
I like canon-compliant stories, because I often learn new things about the books, but it's not good to be so canon that it's basically copied from the books. If I read a fic that has loads of ideas from JK Rowling without an original spin on them, I get bored and frustrated. I like a bit of adventure and exploration on the writer's part, because that makes a fic memorable.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Editor's Note: This is one of a series of articles about the history of the Sun Advocate and the county it covers as a newspaper. These articles are being prepared as the 120th anniversary of the newspaper's birth approaches in 2011.
Those that weren't alive during the early 1940s often wonder why such a big deal is made of World War II and the home front. All they have to relate to is wars such as Vietnam, the Gulf Wars, Iraq and Afghanistan. There are a lot of differences between these conflicts and the "big one" but for the civilian population, there was and is little effect on daily lives. During World War II everyone was impacted; there literally were no civilians. Everyone from little kids to those well past retirement age that had to chip in.
The year 1942 saw the beginning of this swing from the Great Depression to the Greatest Generation. As the Sun Advocate reported news in the area, so much of it was tied to the war effort, or impacted in some way by it.
And of course there were those that were devastated by it because loved ones were reported missing in action or having been killed in action. They and their families paid the ultimate price for keeping the country out of the hands of dictators.
The year began as it ended. Things on the war front didn't look very good. And in Carbon County another mining death early in January seemed to continue a streak from the year before with more than one person being killed in mining accident every month.
The first fatality of 1942 was a man named Jesse Taylor, 42, of Spring Glen. He along with another man were working in the Independent Coal and Coke Mine near Kenilworth when a coal cave-in buried both of them. It took rescuers three hours to dig Taylor out.
Later that month the water situation, particularly relating to Scofield and the potential Gooseberry Dam came up again. Carbon officials passed a resolution that was to be sent to the federal government pointing out the poor shape the Scofield Dam was in and that its condition threatened not only the towns of Price and Helper, but also the national defense infrastructure. They pointed out that the railroad works passing through Price Canyon and the ability to transport mined coal through the canyon could be curtailed if the dam broke or was sabotaged in some way. Eventually moves like this by the areas leaders would lead to federal help in creating the dam that exists today and that replaced the old dam built in the 1920s.
In early February excitement came to the county in the form of car thieves who evaded police and Highway Patrol troopers all the way from the Colorado border near Grand Junction to the upper part of Price Canyon. The chase in the county began when police received a call from Woodside that some gasoline had been stolen from a station there and those responsible were headed north toward Wellington. Two troopers tried to head off the car in Wellington but failed to do so. They called Helper and Sergeant J.L. Sullivan laid in wait for them at the end of the Castle Gate Tunnel. He believed they had pulled off the road to avoid capture, but after an hour he saw the car come out of the tunnel. He tried to force it off the road but the other vehicle started to skid off the road on some ice and he was afraid they would go over the edge. At that point the car picked up more speed and the trooper followed and nearly plowed into three other cars coming the other way. Sullivan decided that someone that was innocent would get hurt so he broke out the windshield of his car and started shooting at the tires of the stolen vehicle. He finally halted the car and the passenger jumped out with his hands up. The driver however, ran down the slope near the road and got away. By the time this was all over some police officials who had been chasing the car from Colorado arrived and went on to Soldier Summit looking for the driver, but they never found him, even though they found out his name from the passenger who, of course, went to jail.
The specter of possible air raids from the Japanese was also addressed in February in two ways. First, Price organized the "air raid precaution service" in the city with air raid wardens appointed from the citizenry. Val Cowles, a partner in the Sun Advocate was named as head of communications, while Leonard Frandsen was in charge of blackouts. Elmar Young was charged with alarms, Royal Frandsen was put over shelter protection, A.W. Magleby got the responsibility for dealing with the possibility of gas attacks while William Toy was named as supply officer.
At almost the same time the San Rafael Grazing District appointed various individuals to watch over the Swell and areas around it for possible plane mishaps or military emergencies. This group was created to assist in guidance for searchers and rescuers, to help with radio communications, assist in transportation, guard possible wreckage sites, and helping with salvage operations.
Americans felt they had a lot to fear at the time. And nothing created more fear than that of a invasion from the west and north by Japanese forces. Early in the year, when the government began to relocate the Japanese population from the west coast inland, the fear of Japanese, even of those with American citizenship, was great. Consequently when a group of Japanese moved to the Green River area from California, and leased land to farm, many in the area were concerned. The advance guard of about 40 people, decided to rent about 1,500 acres from local land owners. Their intentions were to farm the area, like they had done in California.
However a couple of public meetings about the situation in Green River were held and according to the Sun Advocate "opposition to the location of Japanese in that area was reported at the latter meeting" and the resistance was "practically unanimous."
For some reason, another problem cropped up in Price, one that was a mystery. Someone was poisoning large numbers of dogs in the community. Similar poisoning campaigns seemed to have been taking place in Vernal and Provo, so officials were wondering about the connection. But the bigger danger officials claimed was to people. They were concerned that small children could get into the poison that was being left and be harmed. Once incident was reported in which a small child picked up a piece of poisoned meat outside its home and brought it into its mother.
Death in the county struck again when fight between two men in late May resulted in one of them dying. Joseph Redford was bound over for a trial on charges of involuntary manslaughter in the killing in June of Christopher Day.
Finally, as the hottest part of the summer came on, a tea kettle that spilled caused burns on a third of a 58 year old miner's body in early July. At first he had refused medical attention, but later grew worse and was sent to the Carbon County Hospital where he passed away. Based on the account, the period of non-treatment probably contributed to his death due to infection setting in.

|UPDATES: Flooding Strands Motorists in High Water, Rock slides
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 06 March 2011 09:04
Flooding is closing roads around the High Country, including a number in Watauga, Avery, Ashe and Wilkes Counties. The latest reports are the closings of Roby Green Road and Deerfield near the Moose Lodge. Watauga River Road is closed, with flooding in a number of places along the river,
and Bamboo Road has rushing water going over the road near the airport, and the DOT has closed that stretch of Bamboo. At Altamont, the Linville River is flooding low-lying areas, and road closings are being reported in that area. The Watauga Sheriff's Office is reporting that problem on on Castle Ford Road near NC 194, where a clogged drain has been cleared up by the DOT and that road is back open. Meanwhile, Wilkes and Alleghany firemen manned roadblocks on the top of the mountain on Highway 18, as a rock slide forced closing of the highway. Traffic is being diverted over NC 88 around the slide site. That's NC 88 east, while on NC 88 west in Warrensville, a mud slide has completely closed that section of the road, while Wilkes also reports Arbor Grove Church Road closed due to flooding.
Boone Firemen had to rescue two occupants of an SUV that was stranded in high water in the front lot of Boone Mall this morning. Boone Police closed off the Blowing Rock Road entrance to the mall while Boone Fire sent two rescuers to the flooded car, suiting up the two occupants in safety gear before escorting them to safety. Police closed the front entrance to the mall, directing traffic to the Winkler's Creek side of the mall.

Drake Athletic Director Sandy Hatfield Clubb
Sandy Hatfield Clubb
Director of Athletics
Sandy Hatfield Clubb is in her eighth year as director of athletics at Drake University in 2013-14, leading the athletic department through a transformation that impacts all areas of athletics and the student-athlete experience.
Recognizing Drake University and the Bulldogs' athletic programs as unique and rich in tradition, Hatfield Clubb has dynamically guided the department through the process of developing a long-range strategic plan that seeks a transformational model for developing a culture of excellence and ethics in athletics.
The vision statement that drives this process is: "Drake will be a competitive NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics program that cultivates world class leaders in and through an intentional culture of excellence and ethics."
Key to the transformation has been the creation of an athletic department touchstone developed over the course of 2011-12, titled "The Bulldog Way." The purpose of the touchstone is to define the characteristics that make Drake unique in the intercollegiate sports landscape, developing a culture among Drake's coaches, student-athletes and staff that shapes character.
In her tenure as athletic director at Drake, Hatfield Clubb has overseen great success in the classroom and in the field of play, and made a significant impact in the community.
Perhaps no other achievement better illustrates Hatfield Clubb's vision for the student-athlete experience than the Drake football team's May 2011 trip to Tanzania, jointly planned and executed with head football coach Chris Creighton. The team, along with Hatfield Clubb and her family, embarked on a two-week journey that saw the Bulldogs defeat an all-star team from Mexico in the Global Kilimanjaro Bowl, the first game of American football played on the continent of Africa, and the entire travel party engage in three days of service projects and a six-day climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Both the trip, and the 14 months of planning that preceded it, illustrate the scope and vision Hatfield Clubb applies in her approach to directing an intercollegiate athletics program. Closer to home, that vision includes a major fundraising campaign to build an indoor practice facility to transform the current Drake Fieldhouse, and provide a warmup area both for the annual Drake Relays and future world-class track and field events. Drake has hosted 2011 and 2012 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, as well as the 2010 and 2013 US Track & Field Championships.
Hatfield Clubb began her tenure as Drake's athletic director on May 30, 2006, as the 16th athletic director in the school's history, and the first woman to serve as athletic director at an NCAA Division I school in the state of Iowa.
The appointment of Hatfield Clubb, who was the senior associate director of athletics and senior women's administrator at Arizona State, further solidified Drake's reputation as a leading institution for the student-athlete experience.
"Sandy Hatfield Clubb has continued to build on the wonderful progress Drake Athletics has achieved through the years," commented Drake President David Maxwell. "She has a national reputation of great success in all facets of athletics administration at a major Division I institution and, at the same time, she has an understanding of and passion for the distinctive role of athletics at Drake University.
"Sandy's focus is on the quality of experience for student-athletes and on the value of recreation and wellness programs for the entire community. With her expertise, passion and considerable interpersonal skills, Sandy has been a model leader for Drake Athletics and a wonderful ambassador for the University as a whole."
Hatfield Clubb's commitment to excellence in both academics and athletics is shown by the strong Missouri Valley Conference and Pioneer Football League performances this past year and the 255 student-athletes who achieved over a 3.0 GPA during the fall 2012 semester.
"Our entire athletics team, inclusive of coaches, staff and administrators, work daily to model the mission of the athletics department," Hatfield Clubb said. "President Maxwell's vision for excellence is well-articulated throughout the campus community. Because of Drake's focus on academic success and the true integration of the student-athletes, our commitment to excellence in athletics can be realized. Drake's coaches and staff are among the best in the country and I enjoy partnering with them to create the Drake experience for our 350 student-athletes."
Hatfield Clubb is the third woman to serve as athletic director at a Missouri Valley Conference school, and is one of 31 women athletic directors at the 347 schools playing NCAA Division I basketball, and the first in Iowa.
She is active in the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators, which strives to enhance collegiate athletics and to promote the growth, leadership and success of women as athletics administrators, professional staff, coaches and student-athletes. She is formerly a member of the NCAA Men's Basketball Issues Committee and the WBCA Committee on Basketball Issues.
Actively involved in the Des Moines community, Hatfield Clubb serves on the Board of Directors for Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines and Character Counts in Iowa. She is formerly a board member for the Greater Des Moines Convention & Visitors Bureau, Meals for the Heartland, the United Way and the Iowa Sports Foundation.
Hatfield Clubb was honored by the Des Moines Business Record as one of the newspaper's 2010 Women of Influence. She was part of a small group of Iowans, representing Meals from the Heartland that spent six days in 2010 as part of a goodwill trip to earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
Hatfield Clubb earned a bachelor's degree in business administration and a master's degree in education from the University of Texas-El Paso. Upon graduation, she was assistant aquatics coach at Washington and Lee University from August 1989 through July 1990.
She joined Arizona State in 1990 as a management intern and became assistant to the director of athletics in 1992. She was promoted to assistant director of athletics for student and administrative services in 1996, and in this position created a life skills program for student-athletes that has been recognized nationally as a Program of Excellence.
In 1998 Hatfield Clubb was named associate director of athletics for student and academic services at Arizona State. In 2002 she was promoted to ASU's senior associate director of athletics and served as the senior woman administrator to the Pacific-10 Conference and the NCAA.
In her 16 years at Arizona State, Hatfield Clubb had a broad range of experience in all aspects of athletics administration, from direct oversight and administration of intercollegiate programs, compliance and academic support, management, personnel and budget, to fundraising and community relations. She had extensive experience in representing the university as a whole, to alumni, supporters, and the Greater Phoenix community, as well as national organizations and corporations.
Hatfield Clubb and her family make their home in the Beaverdale neighborhood of Des Moines, not far from the Drake campus. She and Jeff Clubb, a native of Sigourney, Iowa, have two children, son Tristan and daughter Skyelar.

Marlins and Jose Reyes agree to a 6-yr, $106 M Deal
The Marlins and Jose Reyes have agreed to a six-year, $106 million deal, according to a tweet from FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.
ESPN.com's Buster Olney is also reporting that the deal is done.
Earlier tonight…
- Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes was first to report that the Marlins offered Reyes a six-year, $111 million contract.
- The Mets were willing to go five years, $75-85 million with a sixth-year vesting option, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post and SI.com's Jon Heyman.
To keep track of all rumors involving Reyes, use this section on MetsBlog.com, which is always available in the tabs at the top of this site.
Here is a recap of tweets from reporters, as well as clips from Alderson's talk with media earlier in the night –

- Full Description
This book aims to teach you everything you need to know to build, install, and configure every aspect of Apache, the world's most popular Web server.
Two versions of Apache are available as of this book's publication. Apache 1.3 is still widely used and is continuously updated. Apache 2 offers new and powerful features, such as multi-processsing modules and filters, as well as a revised and expanded build system for compiling Apache from source. This book comprehensively covers both server versions, presenting up-to-date information and examples, and highlighting variations bettween the two releases in context.
In addition, this book is organized to provide solutions to common problems. It answers the questions that administrators like you typically ask, without requiring that you know the name of a specific Apache module or directive beforehand. This book also demonstrates multiple solutions to a problem, and contrasts the benefits and drawbacks of each approach. After reading Pro Apache, you'll know not only how to get the results you want, but also why a solution works the way it does.
Finally, this book examines how to accomplish more advanced configurations, where individual features must cooperate with each other intelligently.
Now in its third edition, the expertise found in Pro Apache makes it the definitive guide to harnessing the power of Apache safely and securely.

They are huge buildings that sometimes accommodate hundreds of vehicles a day. For ECDC they are the beginning of a waste stream that is tracked and monitored from the time it is deposited at one of the facilities that dot the Wasatch Front to the time at which the materials will decay in the landfill, hundreds of years from now.
In the old days, people and disposal companies in the most populous place in Utah used to pull up to a dump site, often located on the western side of most of the Wasatch Front valleys, and just throw their trash directly into pits that were buried by bulldozers. Everything from household waste to the most toxic of substances were dumped there. But as the population grew, and the waste stream became ever more toxic, community officials began to realize that the space to get rid of refuse was quickly running out. In the 1960's the environmental movement also began to point out that rather than landfills being places where trash could be dumped and forgotten about, they were becoming instead sources of deadly pollution to water supplies and soil. Federal regulations, then state laws started to push the operators to find new ways to dispose of materials.
In the 1970's and 80's landfills started to separate materials and began to recycle as well. Some of this was due to regulations, but some was also because of space. Dump sites had not only become so large that they were unmanageable but earlier practices had used up so much property they were running out of space to put the refuse in.
In the early 1990's Utah County was the first to run out of space and began looking to ship their refuse other places. That is when ECDC stepped forward and began to ship that material to the site in Carbon County.
Later Weber County opened a transfer station and finally a couple of years ago, Salt Lake County also opened on the site of the old Vitro plant near 3300 South and 500 West.
These transfer stations are the largest overall group of contributors to the waste stream that goes into the ECDC facility. Each facility is run a little differently from the others, with Utah County's being the only place where refuse is taken. In Salt Lake the landfill in the Magna area is still very active, but the transfer station handles most of the municipal collection of MSW (municipal waste) in the county.
While it is hard for any entity to know what any one individual person throws in garbage can in their home, the waste stream at these facilities is carefully monitored before it is loaded in containers for shipment. Pits where the containers and cars are pulled up are watched by transfer station employees and monitored by state officials. The entities that operate these facilities must verify the overall contents of the containers before they leave the transfer station. A paper trail is started on each container so that in transport should an accident or fire happen, emergency personnel can get the information on what is in the car.
ECDC does not own the transfer stations, the sending entities do. The only thing ECDC does at the stations is some monitoring and supply the containers for the shipment. The railroad is responsible for the material during shipping.
Once it reaches the East Carbon facility, the company has the right to reject any load it does not deem proper to fit into it's waste stream profile, which is deemed a Subtitle D class V non-hazardous landfill.

Almost two weeks have passed since the 2006 elections, but one local race was not officially decided until Nov. 20 when Carbon commissioners along with the county clerk canvassed and certified the vote.
The school board election between Ruby Cordova of East Carbon and Ed Chavez of Wellington came down to six votes that had not been counted on election day. The votes were cast on absentee or provisional ballots.
With the six ballots counted, Cordova won the race for the school board seat with 455 votes compared to Chavez's 452.
The clerk's office received 95 ballots that were not registered on the electronic voting machines. Of the total, 85 were provisional ballots and 10 were absentee votes.
The clerk's office looked at all of the ballots and found that only 61 of the provisional votes were valid.
"We rejected 24 of them for various reasons," said clerk-auditor Robert Pero. "Some of the people who used provisional ballots weren't registered at all, some registered too late and a few were in the wrong precinct."
The clerk's office received 11 absentee ballots. But one was accompanied by a letter from a voter who said she was not eligible, so the ballot was pulled.
For the school board race, six extra ballots were counted and Cordova won the seat.
"It's been hard sleeping, but I am hopeful," said Cordova before the ballots were counted and certified.
On election night, the distance between the two candidates for the board of education race was three votes.
On Monday, Pero said one of the candidates could ask for a recount if the tally was less than seven votes apart. But after the total was announced, it appeared Chavez was not interested in requesting a recount.
"I just want you to know that I will support you all the way, Ruby," said Chavez. "I will do anything I can to help you."
The extra ballots that came in to affect the school board election were from precincts 19 (3 votes) 15, 26 and 20 (one vote each).
In the canvass and official count for the Nov. 7 county commission race, the final results indicated Democrat incumbent Bill Krompel defeated Republican challenger Gerald Lloyd by a margin of 2,971 ballots to 1,862 votes.

Maze Runner Trilogy #02: The Scorch Trialsby James Dashner
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The final book in the New York Times bestselling trilogy, perfect for fans of Battlestar Gallactica and Prometheus!
Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship Godspeed behind. They're ready to start life afresh--to build a home--on Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles across the universe to experience.
But this new Earth isn't the paradise Amy had been hoping for. There are giant pterodactyl-like birds, purple flowers with mind-numbing toxins, and mysterious, unexplained ruins that hold more secrets than their stone walls first let on. The biggest secret of all? Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight.
Amy and Elder must race to discover who--or what--else is out there if they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building a future together. They will have to look inward to the very core of what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet. Because if the colony collapses? Then everything they have sacrificed--friends, family, life on Earth--will have been for nothing.
Praise for the ACROSS THE UNIVERSE trilogy:
"Entirely original, deeply compelling, and totally unputdownable--I've found a new favorite!" --Carrie Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of The Forest of Hands and Teeth
"A murder mystery, a budding romance, and a dystopian world gracefully integrated into a sci-fi novel that blows away all expectation." --Melissa Marr, New York Times bestselling author of Wicked Lovely
"A fast-paced, action-packed follow-up . . . that explores not only the nature of authority and loyalty but fear of the unknown and fulfilling one's personal destiny." --LA Times
"Hundreds of pages into this sequel to The Maze Runner, one of the teen subjects of a survival experiment on postapocalypse Earth wonders aloud, 'hat this is really all about.' Readers may be asking that, too. In The Maze Runner, the teens, their memories erased, searched for a way out of a deadly maze; their escape, led by Thomas, was short-lived. As volume two opens, the boys learn they are infected with the 'Flare,' a virus that has killed millions and produced a population of nearly insane, disease-ravaged 'cranks.' New orders from WICKED, a coalition of surviving governments, have the boys marching across a wasteland toward a promised cure. Though some facts are teased out, the narrative bogs down under the weight of unanswered questions. What is the purpose of torturing these kids? How is making them into killers ensuring the survival of the world? Why would government leaders name themselves WICKED? Hopefully answers are forthcoming in volume three. In any case, fans who are already hooked will gobble this down, particularly those who don't mind anemic female characters and a high body count. Ages 12 — up. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
After surviving horrific conditions in the Maze, Thomas is entrapped, along with nineteen other boys, in a scientific experiment designed to observe their responses and gather data believed to be essential for the survival of the human race.
In this sequel to the dystopian fantasy-adventure ELEMENTAL, which James Dashner called "fantastic," the stakes are life-or-death and nothing is as it appears to be.
Thomas and his friends have rescued the Guardians and commandeered the pirates' ship, but the pirates still hold fast to Roanoke Island. Using his newly discovered element, Thomas hears a radio message calling for refugees to head to Fort Sumter. They sail south, but quickly discover that their elements wane as they leave Roanoke behind. There is something sinister going on in the refugee colony too. From the perilous food-gathering squads, to the constant threat of rat infestation, to dangerous secrets, Thomas and his colonists begin to realize that this promising new world may be even more terrifying than the one they left behind.
Fans of The Maze Runner and Ship Breaker will love the fast pace, high stakes, and touches of romance in this thrilling novel by an award-winning author.
The second book in the New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series—The Scorch Trials is a modern classic for fans of The Hunger Games and Divergent.
Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. No more variables. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to.
In the Maze, life was easy. They had food, and shelter, and safety . . . until Teresa triggered the end. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.
Burned by sun flares and baked by a new, brutal climate, the earth is a wasteland. Government has disintegrated—and with it, order—and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim . . . and meal.
The Gladers are far from finished with running. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
Thomas can only wonder—does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED?
About the Author
James Dashner is also the author of the 13th Reality series. James was born and raised in Georgia, but now lives in the Rocky Mountains with his family. After several years working in finance, he is now a full-time writer.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer visited homebuyers and construction workers at the housing development site the day after he announced in his Budget speech the government's measures for assisting first-time buyers and existing home-owners in moving up the property ladder, with a GBP £3.5 billion investment in government loans to financially stretched home-buyers and GBP £12 billion towards a scheme to increase availability of mortgages to first-time buyers unable to afford a large deposit. Homebuyers will be able to borrow up to 20% per cent of the value of most new-build properties interest-free for five years. (Photo by Mark Large - WPA Pool/Getty Images)

Israeli/Gaza attacks have entered the fifth day, with two media buildings being recently struck and several journalists subsequently injured. According to health officials in Gaza, at least 50 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched operation Pillar of Defence.

Receiving an invitation to a wedding or another party in the mail can be an exciting prospect, presenting a chance to enjoy a night out and share several hours in the company of friends and family. Upon opening the invite, you may find the words "black tie." If you have never attended a black tie event, you may be unsure what that entails and how to prepare.
The appearance of "black tie" on an invitation means the party hosts are planning a formal affair and they'd like their guests to dress appropriately. For men, this dress code is unequivocally a black tuxedo. Gentleman who want to dress in the spirit of the occasion should purchase a tuxedo or rent one if finances do not allow for the purchase. Accompanying the tuxedo is a bow tie. Now is not the time to don a clip-on. Only a hand-tied bow tie will suffice. Additionally, men are expected to be conservative with their choice of tuxedo shirt. A white shirt is customary. It may have ribbing or a subtle detail. If a cummerbund or vest is worn, it should also be black. However, sometimes matching the vest or cummerbund to a date's dress is acceptable.
Women have a little more wiggle room when it comes to dressing for a black tie affair. A cocktail dress is customary, and many women prefer to wear something floor length because it appears more formal than a shorter dress. Dressy separates also are acceptable, provided they look formal enough. A ball gown or something you might see a celebrity wearing on the red carpet is customary.
On some occasions, some men may not want to be curtailed by dress code and may use the opportunity to dress as they would like. This is a breach of etiquette. Although a party host may be accommodating to the lack of tuxedo, he or she doesn't have to be. If you are invited to a black tie party, try to keep with the dress code so you are respectful of the party hosts.
In some instances, an invitation may read "black tie preferred" or "black tie optional." At such events, the hosts are giving guests the option to attend even if they prefer not to wear extremely formal attire. In this case, it's still in your best interest to dress as formally as possible. A black suit for a man and a cocktail dress for a woman are appropriate.
White tie is similar to black tie. Men are expected to wear full dress with a white shirt, white vest and white tie. Women wear long, fancy gowns.
Party hosts who request formal attire are trying to keep a uniform look to their party and avoid any conflicts that could arise with lax dress code requirements. If a host or hostess has specified a dress code, it is in proper form to stick to the requirements or decline the invitation. If you are ever in doubt about what to wear, you can always ask your hosts what is expected of you.

"If climate scientists were credit-rating agencies," the environment editor for Australia's largest newspaper quipped March 30, "then climate sensitivity — the way climate reacts to changes in carbon-dioxide levels — would be on negative watch but not yet downgraded." The Australian for March 30 concluded that "the fact that global surface temperatures have not followed the expected global warming pattern is now widely accepted."
The Australian was reacting to an article published the same day in the British magazine The Economist, which quoted David Whitehouse of the pro-regulatory Global Warming Policy Foundation as admitting that "If we have not passed it already, we are on the threshold of global observations becoming incompatible with the consensus theory of climate change." Whitehouse's statement means that even the hyper-regulatory zealots are now admitting their apocalyptic models are exaggerated.
According to The Economist, the growing gap between predicted global warming in computer models and a flat average global temperature means the scientific "consensus" manufactured by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change may have been wrong all along:
The IPCC's estimates of climate sensitivity are based partly on GCMs [general-circulation models]. Because these reflect scientists' understanding of how the climate works, and that understanding has not changed much, the models have not changed either and do not reflect the recent hiatus in rising temperatures.
The mismatch might mean that — for some unexplained reason — there has been a temporary lag between more carbon dioxide and higher temperatures in 2000-10. Or it might be that the 1990s, when temperatures were rising fast, was the anomalous period. Or, as an increasing body of research is suggesting, it may be that the climate is responding to higher concentrations of carbon dioxide in ways that had not been properly understood before.
The stable temperature of the Earth since industrial era highs in the 1990s — despite increasing CO2 emissions from virtually every country (and especially from developing economies) since then — has also meant increasing skepticism from within the scientific community. Back in February, James Taylor of the Heartland Institute stated in Forbes magazine,

Jets Interested in Robert Royal? Please No!
Lisa Zimmerman of Sirius Radio broke on her blog yesterday that the Jets are inviting Bills Tight End Robert Royal in for a visit with the team
… with a hole at tight end, the team is bringing in Robert Royal who played the last three seasons with the Buffalo Bills and was with the Redskins for four years prior to that.
I knew it was a thin TE class, but damn. I didn't have really high impressions of Robert Royal, but a quick look to my 2008 Pro Football Prospectus has this to say about Royal:
One of the worst starters in the NFL at any position. Royal has hands like patio blocks, fumbles too many of the passes he does catch, and gets flagged too often to justify his rep as a blocking tight end.
It goes on to say more, but it doesn't get better. A look back to 2007 praises his prowess at his "wide variety of drive-killing abilities."

Using Virus Protection Features in Outlook Express 6
This article describes several new features included in Microsoft Outlook Express 6 that are designed to protect you against viruses that may be transmitted through e-mail messages.
Virus Protection features in Outlook Express 6 are found on Security tab of the Tools, Options dialog box.
Using Internet Explorer Security Zone to Disable Active Content in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) E-mail
Security zones enable you to choose whether active content, such as ActiveX Controls and scripts, can be run from inside HTML e-mail messages in Outlook Express. By default, Outlook Express 6 uses the Restricted Zone instead of the Internet Zone. Microsoft Outlook Express 5.0 and Microsoft Outlook Express 5.5 used the Internet zone, which enable most active content to run. To customize your Internet Explorer security zone settings for Outlook Express:
CAUTION: Changing security zone settings can expose your computer to potentially damaging code. Use caution when you change these settings.
1. Start Outlook Express, and then on the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Security tab, and then click either Restricted Sites Zone or Internet Zone (less secure, but more functional) in the Virus Protection section under Select the Internet Explorer security zone to use.
3. Click OK to close the Options dialog box, and then quit Outlook Express.
4. Start Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu, and then click Security.
5. Click Custom Level for the security zone that you selected in Outlook Express. The security settings that you choose apply to Outlook Express as well as Internet Explorer.
How to Read all Messages in Plain Text (Service Pack 1 Only)
Starting with Service Pack 1, you can configure Outlook Express to read all e-mail in plain text format. Some HTML e-mail may not appear correctly in plain text, but no active content in the e-mail is run when you enable this setting. To read all messages as plain text in Outlook Express Service Pack 1:
1. Start Outlook Express, and then on the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Read tab, and then click to select the Read all messages in plain text check box under Reading Messages.
3. Click OK.
How to Prevent Programs from Sending E-mail Without Your Approval
If you configure Outlook Express as the default mail handler (or simple MAPI client) on the General tab, Outlook Express processes requests by using Simple MAPI calls. Some viruses can use this functionality and spread by sending copies of e-mail messages that contain the virus to your contacts. By default, Outlook Express 6 prevents e-mail messages from being sent programmatically from Outlook Express without your knowledge by displaying a dialog that enables you to send or not to send the e-mail message.
Using the Internet Explorer Unsafe File List to Filter E-mail Attachments
To use the Internet Explorer unsafe file list to filter e-mail attachments: 1. Start Outlook Express, and then on the Tools menu, click Options.
2. Click the Security tab, and then click to select the Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus check box under Virus Protection.
This option is enabled by default in Outlook Express Service Pack 1 (SP1). If you enable this option, Outlook Express uses the Internet Explorer 6 unsafe file list and the Confirm open after download setting in Folder Options to determine whether a file is safe. Any e-mail attachment with a file type reported as "unsafe" is blocked from being downloaded.
NOTE: The Internet Explorer 6 unsafe file list includes any file types that may have script or code associated with them. To add additional file types to be blocked or remove file types that should not be blocked:
1. Click Start, point to Settings (or click Control Panel), and then click Control Panel (or switch to Classic View or View All Control Panel Options).
2. Double-click Folder Options.
3. On the File Types tab, click to select the file type that you want to block or allow, and then click Advanced. If the file type you want to add is not listed, perform the following steps: a. Click New.
b. In the Create New Extension dialog box, type the file extension you want to add to the unsafe file list.
c. Click OK, and then click Advanced.
4. Click to place a check mark (block) or remove the check mark (allow) from the Confirm open after download check box.
NOTE: You cannot remove the check from Confirm open after download to allow some file types. For example, .exe files are in the default unsafe file list in Internet Explorer and cannot be allowed.
How to Determine When Outlook Express Has Blocked an Attachment
When Outlook Express blocks an attachment, the following alert is displayed in the message alert bar at the top of the e-mail message:
Outlook Express removed access to the following unsafe attachments in your mail: file_name1, file_name2, and so on.
? Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0
