BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A family law attorney was abducted from a parking lot Wednesday morning by a gunman who dragged her back into the Lexus she had been driving and then drove off, police said.
Lt. Henry Irby said authorities were searching for Sandra Eubank Gregory, 34, and a Lexus RX 300 sport-utility vehicle, described as being greenish-gray in color. A child safety seat was in the back seat, but Irby said no children were believed to be inside.
Witnesses told police a gunman approached Gregory and forced her into the SUV about 8:30 a.m. near her downtown apartment, not far from her office.
Surveillance video from the parking lot shows a woman getting out of an SUV and then being approached by a man. The two are on the opposite side of the SUV from the camera for a few moments before the man gets into the front seat, drags her in behind him and then drives off.
The Birmingham News quoted police as saying there was activity on Gregory's account at three area branches of AmSouth bank following the abduction.
The missing Lexus belongs to Gregory's boyfriend, the newspaper said, and her ex-husband was sent to pick up his and Gregory's daughter at day care.

Ardent Capital is once again making movement in the region. Back in May, Ardent promised to bring the launch of Ardent Labs' first two companies, aCommerce and WhatsNew.
ACommerce, recently launched, is poised to make a difference right away with its solution-oriented origins. The company positions itself as an e-commerce "enabler," helping brands, brick-and-mortar stores, and e-commerce players to sell online, or sell better online. This means the company offers services from building a website, warehouse, customer service, to returning fulfillment, and of course, everything in between.
ACommerce, a result from Ardent Labs – its key internal initiative, which takes promising business ideas, tests them to determine their viability, and provides initial support for successful concepts to create independent companies – was created to provide a solution to what Ardent Capital saw as an ecommerce bottleneck in the region, specifically around the lack of a logistics infrastructure that e-commerce companies can readily plug into.
Matt Walters, Principal at Ardent Capital, told us:
Going after ecommerce infrastructure isn't easy, but that's precisely what makes it so attractive. You have to do the hard things to create value, things that potential competitors can't easily replicate. When we spoke with a number of ecommerce companies in the region, one of the recurring problems raised was that there isn't adequate ecommerce infrastructure, from shipping to on-demand call centers, to support the growth of ecommerce. We saw the problem and wanted to change it.
ACommerce's first two clients are PetLoft and Venbi. These two are what Paul Srivorakul, the regional CEO of aCommerce refers to as "Vertical Commerce". Both are e-commerce companies with two difference focuses – pet food and baby essential products, respectively – with the same goal of making online purchasing easy for Thais.
Although the launch is still in its infancy, Matt Walters claimed that aCommerce has already seen considerable interest from international brands and regional e-commerce players looking to penetrate the desirable Thai market.
ACommerce is currently operating in Thailand and will be opening up an office in Indonesia next quarter, with the Philippines soon to follow.

text: Sikorsky X2 helicopter aims at record speed Technology 24 May 10 by Jason Paur Sikorsky Next week Sikorsky plan to finish the third phase of flight testing for its new X2 helicopter with a flight of 180 knots (207 mph). The X2 team has been slowly expanding the performance envelope of the technology demonstrator and says they expect to reach their goal speed of 250 knots (288 mph) sometime in the late summer or early autumn.The X2 uses a coaxial main rotor system, eliminating the need for the tail rotor that typically counters the torque of a single main rotor. In place of a tail rotor, the X2 has a propeller at the back of the aircraft that generates thrust in a similar manner as a fixed-wing aircraft.On the most recent flight, the X2 reached a speed of 168 knots (193 mph). Recent aerodynamic improvements have reduced drag, helping in the quest for higher speeds. Jim Kagdis manages the advanced programs at Sikorsky. He says there is still more speed available from both aerodynamic clean ups as well as increasing the thrust from the pusher prop on the tail."About 50 percent of the drag on the aircraft comes from the coaxial dynamic system," Kagdis says. "With fairings, we think we can cut that drag in half."In contrast to the initial flights made last summer, drag-reducing fairings now cover the upper and lower rotor hubs. The blue fairings can be seen in the picture above. Kagdis says a fairing in between the two rotors will be in place for the next phase, further reducing the drag.Another goal during the next phase of testing will be to expand the use of the pusher prop to generate thrust and slow down the main rotors to reduce retreating blade stall.On the X2, the pusher prop is always engaged and the thrust generated is varied by the pitch of the blades. Kagdis says on a production model there would most likely be a clutch system that would engage the pusher prop for high-speed flight. Think of it as the turbo boost that has been in the works since Airwolf first took to the skies of 1980s TV land. Though Airwolf used a more glamorous jet/flame kind of thrust.The problem of retreating blade stall -- where the rotor blade moving backwards stalls resulting in increased drag (and reducing lift) -- is something that has long plagued high-speed helicopter flight. But with the pusher prop, the X2 can simply reduce power to the main rotor, which in turn reduces the rotational speed and actually increases the airspeed for the retreating rotor blade. The result is a reduction of the drag incurred during blade stall."We're going to be able to lower the tip speed down about 20 percent," Kagdis says.One way to think about it would be to take it to the extreme and stop the main rotors entirely. Then you would be left with a fixed-wing airplane with the rotors for wings and a propeller pushing the aircraft along.Sikorsky's potential customers for a production helicopter using X2 technology include the military as well as civilian customers, such as search and rescue, and medical helicopters.The current speed record for a helicopter was set in 1986 when a Westland Lynx flew 249 miles per hour. If all goes according to plan, the X2 should crush that record with its 288-miles-per-hour flight this autumn and usher in a new era in helicopter utility. Edited by George Barrow Comments What a badly written, ignorant article.Slowing down the rotor blades increases retreating blade stall, but having two sets of blades just means it doesn't matter. Also the slowing of the blades does not increase the airspeed for the retreating blade, it decreases it, as an elementary grasp of logic and geometry would tell you. Plus even if the X2 reaches the target of 288mph it won't be a world record for a compound helicopter, which is what the X2 is.The significance of the X2 is not that it will fly faster than previous research helicopters, because it won't; the real significance of this craft is that it will lead to fast helicopters that can be produced on a production line, rather than setting a few records and then ending up in a museum or on a scrap-heap.

Sturm: Bryan McCann has 'special' quality to him; win quiets Bill Cowher/Jon Gruden talk for at least a week
SportsDayDFW phoned The Ticket's Bob Sturm to comment on the Cowboys' win over the Lions. The following is a transcription of the interview:
What is it about Bryan McCann that allows him to spark an entire team? That's two straight weeks with game-changing plays.
There's no doubt that he has a special quality about him in that when he touches the ball, you can just feel the game-breaking potential he has, which is incredibly uncommon for a practice squad player to possess. We saw this initially in Green Bay with simple kick returns in his NFL debut and thought immediately he's certainly worthy of getting much more action, at least in the kick return game. But both of those plays he made the last two weeks, which were both game-changing and game-winning, will be something to stay in Cowboys lore, which is a great story, especially given his local ties.
How weird is it to see one play change everything, given how bad the Cowboys looked prior to that interception?
In some respects, that's the beauty of the sport. You think you have a game in control and Detroit, with that safety early in the 3rd and then of course the touchdown before halftime, seemed to have all of the momentum. What makes this particular play especially remarkable was that it initially looked like a really positive play for Detroit — a punt that was going to make the Cowboys start in the shadow of their own goalpost. For him to have the presence of mind, and really just the confidence in himself, it's a play where a lot of bad can happen, and for him to have the football sense to try and turn the game or at least get the Cowboys out of a bind, is a really special moment, especially coming off his game-changing moment from the week before. The game was certainly not completely lost at that moment, but it was circling the drain quickly. For a guy we had never heard of a month ago to save the game is pretty remarkable.
You mentioned the touchdown before halftime, which the Lions got because of a late Cowboys fumble. Why run a play deep in your zone after the Washington fiasco?
In this league, you've got to be able to call a simple handoff play up the middle and not feel like you're taking a gigantic gamble. You've got to be able to trust your running back to put the ball away. Obviously in retrospect, the absolute safest play to make is to take a knee, but that's a rather harsh second guess to put on your play caller. Football is a rather simple game when it comes to a handoff to be able to depend on your runner not to put the ball on the ground. I do give credit to the Cowboys, after that fumble and the safety, a sequence where it looked like the offensive line was coming apart at the seams. Credit much be given to the Cowboys for responding to adversity like a pro team should, rather than their response a few weeks ago that got their coach fired.
Would a loss basically have crippled Jason Garrett's chances of becoming coach if he to become the first guy in 26 tries to lose to the Lions at home?
I believe a loss to Detroit would have been extremely damaging to the Jason Garrett camp and the premise that he's the next permanent coach for the Cowboys. That's clearly a game that they need to win to solidify a lot of things around here, including the job that he's doing. There's no question that by sundown, the calls for Jon Gruden and Bill Cowher would have returned if the Cowboys didn't have the 2nd half that they did. We can only wonder if the game plays differently if Bryan McCann doesn't make the play that he did, because it seemed to turn the entire game. Detroit looked dazed for several minutes after that as further mistakes came their way.
Outside of McCann, who else impressed you today?
Obviously the return of Jason Hatcher seemed to revitalize the pass rush. That was as balanced as we've seen all season. Jay Ratliff has been double-teamed quite a bit. It looks like when you can get pressure from other spots on the inside, then Ratliff is freed up to do more damage himself. So I would say the defensive line came on strong.
We also have to credit Jon Kitna's second half and the way he found his rhythm, because the first half was awful for pretty much everyone on the offense after that first drive.
Any negatives?
To point out what i didn't like, I would clearly start with the offensive line, which after a great week in New York, certainly appeared to return to their old form. We talked Friday in the gameplan about the test that the interior of the offensive line would be facing against Corey Williams and Ndamukong Suh, and for most of the game, it appeared the Cowboys' line failed badly. Moving forward, we certainly shouldn't lose sight of a drastic need for improvement from their performance. Further down the road, addressing personnel improvements in that department through the draft and free agency. Most weeks this season, they have been manhandled, including today.
All the players seemed excited and unified on the sidelines at the end of the game. Is this part of a Garrett culture change, or simply a product of winning?
I really think winning changes everything. I know that these athletes put immense pressure on themselves and they can certainly read and hear what people say. To string consecutive wins together might just allow them to feel a little bit better about the team they've assembled this year. They still have major flaws, but their mind, their collective minds, aren't as screwed up as they were a few weeks ago, which is why the coaching change was one of the easiest decisions in Cowboys history in my opinion. They can simply get back to playing football and finding solutions to those problems rather than all of the weight of the world that was on them seemingly a few weeks ago.

When it comes time to create a graph, most people turn to a spreadsheet or a presentation program. But many types of graphs can be created right in CorelDRAW. This allows you to use more interesting fills and just have more graphic control.
Let's start with a pie chart. The first thing we need is some data. How about 40%, 27%, 15%, 11%, 7%. That will give us five slices of varying sizes. I'm sure you're a bit worried about doing math and we'll simplify that as much as possible.
Let's just start by drawing a circle that is 4 inches in radius. Once you've drawn the circle, the Property Bar should look similar to Figure 1.
We want to change the circle into a pie wedge representing 40%, our first piece of data. Click the Pie Wedge icon and you'll see that the beginning angle changed to 0 and the ending angle to 270. We need to change the ending angle to represent 40%. In the ending angle text box, type .4*360. This represents 40% of 360 degrees. Press the Enter key and the shape changes to exactly what you need.
One down, four to go. Duplicate the wedge we just created right on top of itself. The easiest way to do this is to press the + key on your numeric keypad. Change the starting angle to 144 which matches the ending angle of the first wedge. Time to type another formula. Type 144 + (.27*360) into the ending angle text box and press Enter.
Bet you didn't know that CorelDRAW could do math, did you?
Now duplicate the second wedge by pressing the + key on the numeric keypad. Change the starting angle to 241.2 (the ending angle of the previous wedge) and type 241.2 + (.15*360) into the ending angle text box. Press Enter and the third slice will appear.
For the next slice, the beginning angle will be 295.2 and we'll type 295.2 + (.11*360) for the ending angle. The last slice will start at 334.8 and the ending angle will be 360. No need to do the math on this one.
We've now got all the wedges for our pie chart. If you just want a 2D chart, all that is left is to color the slices. You could also type the percentages on each slice if you want to identify what the slice represents numerically. You should have something similar to Figure 2 though your colors might be a bit different.
So far so good, but we really want it to be a 3D chart. For this we'll need the help of the EZ Metrics utility shown in Figure 3 (a free evaluation copy can be downloaded at http://www.unleash.com/ezmetrics).
Select all the wedges, make sure Isometric is selected in the EZ Metrics drop-down list and click the Top button (labeled with a T). This will put the chart in perspective. If the wedges aren't aligned in the correct positions, undo a few steps. Then rotate the wedges so they appear where you want them. Now apply the EZ Metrics perspective again.
Select the large wedge, enter .4 inches for the Extrude distance and click the downward pointing Red arrow. Instant 3D! Repeat this process for each of the other wedges. You might run into a wedge that appears funny. This just means it is out of the stacking order. Right click on it and choose Order | To Front or Order | To Back to put it in the correct order. Our pie chart now looks like Figure 4.
If we want, we can easily separate the extruded portions from the wedges so that more shading can be added. Figure 5 shows what can be done by just adding a few gradient fills to the extruded wedge slices.
Now we're going to make a few more assumptions about our data. We'll create a chart showing how three different products have sold in three different regions. For this, we want a 3D bar chart.
Product A sold 275,000 units in the West; 362,000 in the Central and 437,000 in the East. Product B sold 426,000 in the West; 472,000 in the Central and 293,000 in the East. Product C was the weak one selling 127,000 in the West, 96,000 in the Central and 139,000 in the East.
There are three pieces we need to create in this chart as we want to have the ranges displayed to the left and behind the bars. For the sake of ease, we'll use 1 inch for 100,000 units. With this information, we'll draw a rectangle that is 5 inches high since the highest data point is 472,000. We'll make the rectangle 3 inches wide since we have three products to map. I've also drawn lines at every 1 inch interval and labeled it with the number sold. Since we also have three regions, we'll duplicate the whole thing. These two pieces will create the left and back walls. Lastly, we need to adds labels indicating which parts are which product and region. The finished walls are shown in Figure 6.
The floor of the chart will be 3 inches square and it will be divided into nine different regions. So we'll need one 3 inch square and several dividing lines at 1 inch intervals. Then we'll draw half inch rectangles centered in each region. These will become the bars in our chart. The finished floor is shown in Figure 7.
With all the pieces put together, we're ready to make turn the pieces into a chart. Select all the pieces making up the left wall and click the righthand cube's L icon in EZ Metrics. Now select everything in the right hand wall and press the R icon in the rightmost cube. Slide the resulting walls together so that they are joined in the middle. Lastly, select all the pieces of the floor and click the B icon on the right most cube. Slide the result up next to the first two pieces. You should now have something similar to Figure 8.
Now we're ready to create the bars. Select the rectangle representing Product B in the West region. This should be the top most of the various rectangles. Type 4.26 inches for the Extrude distance which represents 426,000 units. Ctrl-click on the Top Red Extrude arrow. The initial result may be behind the walls and so you'll need to right-click on it and choose Order | To Front. Color it Red and we're ready for the next bar. We'll stick with Product B and move to the Central region. Extrude this one 4.72 inches. Remember to Ctrl-click on the Top Red Extrude arrow or the results won't be what you want. Keep repeating this process until you've created all nine bars. The finished bar chart is shown in Figure 9.
Again, we would decorate this chart a bit more by shading each of the bars differently. And remember that the bars could be any shape we want meaning you aren't stuck with only rectangles. They could even be the shape of the client's logo or something.
Creating the charts this way might take a bit longer than using your spreadsheet, but it allows you to more easily decorate the charts using the fills and shapes available in CorelDRAW. This means that your charts will look better than the next guy and your clients will be happier than someone elses.

Washington's source for compelling television and inspiring classical music. Donate Online
Acting greats Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen are currently performing on Broadway in a repertory production of Harold Pinter's No Man's Land and Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. The two actors have starred opposite each other on stage and screen several times previously – most notably as Magneto and Professor Magneto in the X-Men films, which is apparently when they became the biggest BFFs to ever BFF – and their friendship is absolutely lovely to behold.
McKellen and Stewart have been splashing their epic friendship all over New York City over the past couple weeks, whilst preparing for their Broadway run. (Basically, we all want to be BFFs with them. It's okay. They're amazing.)
The duo did a special appearance at the New York Times' Times Talk series – basically an awesome intimate Q&A session with Times theater reporter Patrick Healy, in which the two of them discuss everything from their mutual love of Shakespeare, to their experiences in blockbuster movie franchises X-Men and The Lord of the Rings, to their current adventures sharing a dressing room on the Great White Way. It's a fascinating chat with two of the greatest actors working today – and well worth a watch.
See the duo's full Times Talks interview below (the playlist of several clips is attached to this first video and should continue, but just in case it doesn't, go here).
For more details on Stewart and McKellen's Broadway run, and to get tickets if you're planning to be anywhere near NYC, visit TwoPlaysinRep.com

Put it another way. The two teams have attempted more than 3,700 shots this season and more than 1,300 3-pointers. There will be 13 players on the two rosters averaging at least 5.5 points a game. ...

. If there was any verbal or actual violence involved forget your ex and move on.
Accept your partner for what he/she is: Mature individuals accept others as they are as a product of their environment and do not expect a makeover. No one likes being asked to change to suit another. Finding faults and over expectations only lead to endless fights making it difficult to stop divorce.
Once you've done that here are some more steps you can take: Try to be more tolerant toward each other. If your partner says you're over-critical try to change that. Request that he or she does the same.
The bond may become stretched and break between the couple if these needs are noit met. Resentment can

You must exercise and find some form of meditation. This is the worst imaginable kind of stress. It takes a very quick toll on your body mind and spirit.
Give yourselves some time to relax. Talking is much easier to do when there is less stress. After dinner after the kids go to bed (if you have kids) while you're watching tv or reading bring the subject up. You could say 'I feel that….' or 'I just realized…' or 'something is bothering me and I don't know what to do'.

December 1, 2015
It's a bovine oddity in northern Wisconsin. Meet "Lucy" the two nosed calf.
When Mark Krombholz in Lincoln County took a closer look at his newest calf he had a double take.
While both noses seemed to be working fine- Mark called up his breeder to come check Lucy out.
Lucy was born last Friday (5-4) and Mark's still having a hard time believing a calf with two noses was born on his farm.
Breeder Scott Grund says these types of things aren't usually a part of genetics just a mutation that happens occasionally. But they do keep track of them.
In almost 30 years breeding cows Grund says he's only filled out about ten forms. So while mutations like Lucy's two noses are unusual, they do happen.
The two noses might not be all bad Lucy may have a more pampered future than her herd-mates. The family has decided to make Lucy a pet.

I would like to welcome you to my new store Cowboy Classic Equipment.
In 1995 I opened a homebased saddle shop called Don Loewen Saddlery for 9 years. In March 2004 I decided to go from a homebased business to a store front business in down town Merritt B.C. located in the beautiful Nicola Valley. Please stop in and visit me, have a cup of coffee and check out my saddles and tack.
Most of the saddles end up on working ranches in B.C. and Alberta. My saddles are known for their comfort, durability and the ability to stay positoned through out a full day's ride.
"Don Loewen has always had a reputation for building a good using saddle. I looked at a couple of Don's saddles that the cowboys in the valley had ordered and had been using for every day ranch work and I was impressed with the quality of the rigs and how they were standing up. I've been riding my Loewen saddles for some time now and haven't got one complaint. The saddle sits on a horses back well and I've never rode in a more comfortable seat. Don's saddles are reasonably priced and you will never get a better person to deal with."

LSU running back Terrence Magee is awarded the coveted No. 18 jersey for the Tigers.
- Filed Under
Tailback Terrence Magee on Sunday night became the seventh player to be awarded LSU's No. 18 jersey since staff members made the number a special honor entering the 2004 season.
Magee, a senior from Franklinton, is coming off his best season as a Tiger after getting buried on the depth chart in 2011 as a true freshman tailback and again playing very little in 2012 as a deep backup at wide receiver. Magee returned to tailback in 2013 and is LSU's leading returning rusher entering the 2014 season as he gained 626 yards on 86 carries with eight touchdowns last season.

Featuring more than 150 pieces of line art and comic-style sequences, James Patterson's newest illustrated novel is a genuinely funny yet poignant look at middle school in a challenging urban setting, where a kid's life can depend on the everyday decisions he makes.
Praise for Public School Superhero:
"The authors never get too preachy for their own good.... Told with the humorous style characteristic of Patterson when he's in preteen mode, the novel fits right in with I Funny, Middle School, and the like. Adding to the book's charm [are] comic-filled pages that help further illustrate Kenny's inner workings as well as present just plain fun superhero stories. A smart and kind story topped with just the right amount of social justice." (Kirkus Reviews).
"Packed with fast-paced tween-speak, Public School Superhero will entertain and enlighten.... Readers will also enjoy the multiple pages of funny, comic book-style illustrations packed with superhero stunts and preteen angst.... Definitely buy this one." (School Library Journal ).
"With admirers of all ages, don't be surprised if everyone wants to get their hands on [Patterson's] latest." (Booklist).
Praise for I Funny:A #1 New York Times Bestseller
"....Poignant.... Readers learn about [Jamie's] devastating loss and recovery from a tragic event....The affecting ending, which reveals a more vulnerable Jamie behind the guise of his humor, celebrates Jamie's resilient spirit." (Kirkus Reviews ).
"In all, a brimming bucket of bada-bing!" (Booklist).
"The broad humor that runs throughout this heavily illustrated story... masks personal pain, demonstrating resiliency in the face of tragedy." (Publishers Weekly ).
Praise for Middle School, The Worst Years of My Life:
* "As Patterson artfully weaves a deeper and more thought-provoking tale of childhood coping mechanisms and everyday school and family realities, readers are drawn into a deeper understanding of and compassion for the main characters." (School Library Journal, starred review).
"Readers will discover the best kind of child: one that is intelligent, artistic, and brave.... A world perfectly described through a 12-year-old's point of view...a satisfying and progressive tale with real sweetness." (Kirkus Reviews).
"A keen appreciation of kids' insecurities and an even more astute understanding of what might propel boy readers through a book.... a perfectly pitched novel."(Los Angeles Times).
"Cleverly delves into the events that make middle school so awkward: cranky bus drivers, tardy slips, bathroom passes and lots of rules.... Hopefully, this isn't the last we hear from Rafe Khatchadorian."( The Associated Press ).
"It's a chatty, funny, engaging book, one that often addresses the reader directly. It's filled with energetic cartoons... that will appeal to your little rebel, depicting teachers as dungeon-keepers, matadors and flying dragons. Patterson... knows how to structure a plot and builds in some surprising--even touching--twists.... Rafe is the bad boy with a heart of gold." (The New York Times).
"The book's... dynamic artwork and message that 'normal is boring' should go a long way toward assuring kids who don't fit the mold that there's a place for them, too." (Publishers Weekly).
"Incredibly detailed and imaginative illustrations . . . add depth and humor. . . . an enjoyable story that even the most reluctant readers should enjoy." (Library Media Connection).
"There is substance as well as appeal here.... Patterson deftly manages the pace of revelations that take readers deeper into Rafe's fragile trust.... Readers ready for something else in the same vein but more substantive than Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Peirce's Big Nate should be introduced to Rafe."(Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books).

Plummeted, you stupid fuck. His stock pummeted lmao
Same style of word play just a different technique. KingFly your example is spot on hilarious though. What was the line?
It's like Jumpoff 2007 in here. :twotimes:
Goddamn queers.
i know that nigga on a personal level
You have to game her away from her pimp. Just be there anytime she needs a ride or a buck or two type of deal. Slowly she'll stop relying on the pimp...
Wasn't interested in him much after the first album. It is a classic though
Great verse no doubt. That whole first album is his best lyricism.
Lml SMACK said "Let's get it poppin." like 5 times before it finally popped. Long introductions are the worst.
He went from stumbling in the Bender battle, to stumbling in the Porich battle. Improvement or staying the same?
Bruce B stuff was gutless, but still funny. Telling someone 'Your friend didn't even like you alive, let alone dead.' is ruthless.
A punchline. :cry:
Flyting ain't dead it lives in the North.
Yeah and I hadn't heard any of those lines since 05-06 either.
Dude, just fast forward.
"he rapped better"
"no black ppl lol"

"omg ignore list"
"youre from Canada? Lol well I'm American and...
Trolling is too much. Big mac with performance of the night, obviously.

The year 2004 will undoubtedly go down as a singularly exciting—and bittersweet—year for the millions of Stephen King's Dark Tower fans anxiously awaiting the series' much-anticipated finale. More than a quarter of a century after the publication of the short story "The Gunslinger" in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (October 1978), the genre-transcending saga that has been called King's magnum opus will come to its climactic conclusion with the release of the final two books: Song of Susannah this month and The Dark Tower in September.
The seven-volume Dark Tower saga—essentially an epic fantasy—is a bit of a departure for the prolific King, who is best known for his wildly popular horror offerings (The Shining, Carrie, Cujo, Pet Sematary, etc.). The story's central character, an enigmatic, solitary gunslinger named Roland Deschain (a cross between Clint Eastwood's legendary Man With No Name of Sergio Leone's 1960s spaghetti westerns fame and the quasi-historical King Arthur), is on a quest to find the Dark Tower, the nexus of a trillion different realities, before it is destroyed. Those who stand in his way are summarily killed. But during his travels through time, he meets allies who will eventually make up his ka-tet (a group of people joined by fate): Eddie Dean, a former heroin addict and drug runner from 1987 Brooklyn; Susannah Dean, Eddie's wife, a civil rights activist with joint personalities from the when of 1964; and Jake Chambers, a sixth-grader from 1977 New York. Together, they battle the evil forces trying to topple the Tower and bring about Apocalypse.
Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah picks up immediately after the events of Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla. Roland and Eddie, via the Unfound Door, travel to 1977 Maine in search of a rogue bookstore owner with an invaluable resource to be used in the quest. Meanwhile, Jake and Father Callahan, another key figure in Roland's quest, are thrust into 1999 New York City to find Susannah, who is not only possessed by a demon but also pregnant with a baby of mysterious origin. The unborn baby is "perhaps the most important child to ever be born . . . including Christ, including Buddha, including the Prophet Muhammad." This child, aptly named Mordred by the demon inside Susannah, is prophesized to destroy Roland. Can Jake and Callahan find Susannah before she has her baby? And more importantly, can they keep the baby out of the hands of Roland's nemesis, the Crimson King?
King drops a bombshell of a plot twist at the conclusion of Song of Susannah that will force readers to re-evaluate their take on the entire saga and leave them tottering on the edge of the mother of all cliffhangers. Fortunately, readers will only have to wait a few months to find out what King has in store for the final installment in his chronicle of the gunslinger and his quest.
Hauntingly surreal and almost supernaturally enthralling, King's Dark Tower saga is a monumental work of fantastical fiction created by a master wordslinger. The series is historically significant for a number of reasons—the eye-popping retail sales figures, the equally eye-popping value of first editions, etc.—but perhaps its most important (and fascinating) attribute comes from its prominent place in the author's extensive and storied canon. Not unlike legendary British fantasist Michael Moorcock's Skrayling Oak, the enormous tree that holds his entire Multiverse in its branches, King's Dark Tower is the thematic hub around which many of his other novels revolve. The Stand, It, 'Salem's Lot, Insomnia, The Talisman, Bag of Bones, The Eyes of the Dragon—all have strong connections to the Dark Tower. (For example, Father Callahan was also featured in 'Salem's Lot as the priest investigating the horrific deaths of his parishioners.) Longtime fans delight in piecing together the incredibly elaborate mystery that is King's Dark Tower universe, and the series has lengthy printed concordances to help readers keep everything straight.
And to think it all started with this unassuming sentence: "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."

Hockey Day In Pittsburgh: Pens' defensemen can let it 'slide' on PK
Penguins/NHL Videos
Upon joining coach Dan Bylsma's staff before last season, Penguins assistant Todd Reirden wanted to know whether a couple of key defensemen were comfortable making a sacrifice.
For Brooks Orpik, it would be hits. For Zbynek Michalek, it would be blocked shots.
There was -- and remains -- a method behind Reirden asking an elite hitter and shot-blocker to settle for fewer of those over the course of the season.
"The idea was to not take so much of a beating on their bodies," Reirden said.
There is a financial logic to the thought process. Orpik ($3.75 million) and Michalek ($4 million) are part of a top defensive foursome that also includes Paul Martin ($5 million) and Kris Letang ($3.5 million).
At a combined $16.25 million annual salary-cap hit, those defensemen accounted for approximately 27.4 percent of the Penguins' cap number last season and 25.3 percent this season.
The Penguins believe their top four defensemen are as stout a group as any in the league. To play long stretches without one -- as they will for at least the next four weeks because of Michalek's broken finger -- is not a great return on investment.
So, fans might wonder why the defensemen are encouraged to drop to the ice when some opponents are on the power play. Well, they're coached to do just that -- to a point.
"If they have a guy attacking the net or trying to make a quick play, you go (down). And if they're deep in the corner, you might not go (down)," defenseman Deryk Engelland said. "It's a matter of who has the puck, what that team's game plan is. It's tough because we are encouraged to go down, but we're supposed to read off what they're doing."
Reirden said the "slide" technique is implemented to cut off passing lanes, not block shots, and should be common only during penalty-kill situations.
A former defenseman, Reirden, like Letang, believes sliding during even-strength situations should be limited to when defending an odd-man rush.
|Measure it
|Penguins assistant coach Todd Reirden prizes defensive positioning over measurables such as blocked shots and hits. A comparison of the club's notable stats before and after Reirden arrived last season, with NHL rank in parentheses:
|Blocked shots
|1,182 (9)
|388 (29)
|2,154 (3)
|1,082 (24)
|444 (29)
|2,280 (3)
|149 (3)
|71 (5)
|230 (3)
|Source: NHL.com
Still, the slide is part of the Penguins' plan for diffusing man-advantage opportunities, and there is no arguing its success. The Penguins are first in penalty kill this season after finishing atop that category for the first time in franchise history last season. Through 11 games this month, the Penguins have surrendered just one power-play goal -- a 4-on-3 tally in overtime.
Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury shares thoughts on ...
• His attempts to score into an open net:
"A couple of guys are scared of getting minuses, and (goaltending coach Gilles Meloche) is worried, too. He's, like, 'Don't do it.' "
• His early-game big saves:
"It's like scoring goals for a player. The early saves are what I like the most. They get me into the game."
• His old yellow pads:
"I saw some pictures lately and was, like, 'That was so long ago.' Sometimes I kind of wish we would have a big yellow and black third jersey and I could come out in full yellow -- like a big banana."
Three to watch
Opposing players to keep an eye on during the next week:
• Mark Streit
Islanders defenseman
He has six points in seven games after missing all of last season.
• Phil Kessel
Maple Leafs right wing
Call him white hot with nine goals and 15 points through eight games.
• David Steckel
Maple Leafs center
He has three goals through eight games, but in these parts he's known more for a certain hit.
League points
Developments from around the NHL:
Maple Leafs
Toronto is willing to deal recently claimed defenseman Cody Franson.
Pierre LeBrun, ESPN
Anaheim general manager Bob Murray isn't interested in swinging a big deal similar to the one last week between Vancouver and Florida, even if it would mean improving his club's offense.
Eric Stephens, Orange County Register
Calgary won't look to acquire Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson.
Eric Francis, Calgary Sun

St. Louis (KSDK) - It looks like the long-awaited O'Fallon Park Recreation Center will soon open in north St. Louis.
Eight years ago voters approved a tax increase to fund two state-of-the-art recreation centers: one in O'Fallon Park in north St. Louis, and the other in south St. Louis called Carondelet Center, which opened in 2009 and is run by the YMCA.
The O'Fallon Park facility stalled over funding issues.
On Monday Mayor Francis Slay announced the "Y" is partnering with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater St. Louis to provide programs for the facility.
"It is my great hope that the alderman will get to vote this up or down but whatever the board decides we are going to open the O'Fallon Recreation Center as soon as possible," said Mayor Slay.
Under the agreement, the facility would open 90 days after being approved by the board. That means it could open as early as next year.

Almost everyone in New England can recall certain major weather events such as the last hurricane that hit the area, the worst tornado to have affected the region, or certainly this winter, with the biggest snowstorm in recent years. But can you recall the last flash flood that affected the region, or the most widespread flash flood episode?
Flash flooding is the number one weather related killer in the United States and we in New England are by no means immune to their occurrence. A flash flood is a type of flood event that occurs quickly, usually within 6 hours of a rain event. Flash floods can also result from dam breaks or even an ice jam on a river or stream during the winter months. More often than not, they are usually isolated events, affecting only one or a few small streams in a particular area and often do not receive the widespread notoriety of larger weather events.
When a flash flood occurs, the water in the affected small stream or waterway rises very rapidly inundating the surrounding area. Within minutes, what was once a harmlessly looking stream can become a raging rapid capable of rolling boulders, tearing out trees, and destroying buildings and bridges. Time is of the essence.
Flash floods can occur just about anytime of year in the region. Prolonged cold spells during the winter can cause a build up of river ice. Once this ice breaks apart and moves downstream, it can become jammed against a bridge resulting in flash flooding upstream of the jam.
During the spring and summer months, slow moving thunderstorms are usually the catalyst. These thunderstorms are capable of producing several inches of rain in just one hour, resulting in flash flooding.
Living in New England, we can never ignore the threat of an approaching hurricane or tropical storm. Many new englanders tend to associate hurricanes with just widespread coastal damage due to the storm surge and high winds. Several tropical storms and hurricanes during the past 70 years have caused just as much, if not more damage inland from flash flooding.
Your National Weather Service provides flash flood watches and warnings to alert the public to the threat of flash flooding. A flash flood watch means that conditions are such that flash flooding could occur. Keep an eye on rivers and streams and pay close attention to the latest statements and forecasts. Above all, be ready to head to high ground and know alternate ways to get there should roads become washed out.
A flash flood warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. Immediate action is needed to protect your life. Get out of low lying flood prone areas as quickly as you can.
As for the most recent flash flood? One occurred March 13th 1997 in Alton, New Hampshire. A dam on the Merrymeeting river failed on a dry, sunny day. It caused one death, destroyed a 300 to 500 foot section of roadway, and destroyed several downstream homes and one highway bridge.
As for the most widespread flash flood event? it occurred in August of 1955 from tropical storms connie and diane. These two tropical storms struck New England 5 days apart. Together, they produced 10 to 25 inches of rain which caused 90 deaths and millions of dollars worth of damage along many rivers and streams.
Southern New England is unique because it is affected by such a variety of weather systems throughout the year. Anyone living along rivers and streams in the area must realize that flash flood events can occur anytime, anywhere. Your state of readiness is what will save your life in the midst of a flash flood event.

What is ecthyma?
Ecthyma is a skin infection characterised by crusted sores beneath which ulcers form. It is a deep form of impetigo as the same bacteria causing the infection are involved but ecthyma causes deeper erosions of the skin.
Streptococcus pyogenes and/or Staphylococcus aureus are the bacteria responsible for ecthyma.
Ecthyma with scarring
Who gets ecthyma?
People of all ages, sex and race can be affected, although children, elderly people and immunocompromised patients (eg diabetes, neutropenia, immunosuppressive medication, malignancy, HIV) tend to have a greater chance of infection. Other factors that increase the risk of ecthyma include:
- Poor hygiene and crowded living conditions
- High temperature and humidity, eg tropical places
- Presence of minor injuries or other skin conditions such as scratches, insect bites or dermatitis
- Untreated impetigo, particularly in patients with poor hygiene.
What are the signs and symptoms?
Ecthyma lesion usually begins as a vesicle (small blister) or pustule on an inflamed area of skin. A hard crust that is harder and thicker than the crust of impetigo soon covers this. With difficulty, the crust can be removed to reveal an indurated ulcer that may be red, swollen and oozing with pus. Lesions may stay fixed in size and sometimes resolve spontaneously without treatment, or they may gradually enlarge to a sore of 0.5-3 cm in diameter.
The areas most affected are the buttocks, thighs, legs, ankle and feet. Occasionally, the local lymph nodes become swollen and painful.
What treatment is available?
Treatment depends on the extent and severity of infection. Any underlying disease or skin infection such as scabies or dermatitis should also be treated.
- Soak crusted areas
Soak a clean cloth in a mixture of half a cup of white vinegar in a litre of tepid water. Apply the compress to moist areas for about ten minutes several times a day. Gently wipe off the crusts.
- Topical antiseptics or antibiotics
A topical antibiotic ointment such as fusidic acid or mupirocin is often prescribed for localised ecthyma. A topical antiseptic such as povidone iodine, antibacterial Manuka honey or hydrogen peroxide cream may be used instead. Apply it at least three times a day to the affected areas and surrounding skin. The treatment should be applied after removing crusts. Look carefully for new lesions to treat. Continue for several days after healing.
- Oral antibiotics
Oral antibiotics are recommended if the infection is extensive or proving slow to respond to topical antibiotics. The preferred antibiotic is a penicillin, however the antibiotic chosen should be active against both Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus (usually dicloxacillin or flucloxacillin). The duration of treatment varies; several weeks of therapy may be necessary to completely resolve ecthyma.
Another very important factor to consider in the overall management of ecthyma is to improve hygiene. Measures to take include:
- Washing daily with antiseptic soap or cleanser
- Changing and laundering clothes and linen frequently
- Using separate towels and flannels to prevent spreading infection.

Voorhees Preserve Ready for Visitors
Enjoy an armchair adventure to Voorhees Preserve.
Overcoming storm damage to reopen Voorhees Preserve
"We're excited to show people the new trails and new bridge and to get families out here to connect with nature." —Sam Truslow
By Daniel White
I'm staring over Sam Lindblom's right shoulder at a white Billy goat perched atop a pedestal rising high into the sky. But it's a bird, not the sky-walking goat, that makes Sam suddenly break off in mid sentence.
"There's a bald eagle right there," he says, pointing away from the goat toward the Rappahannock River. Sure enough, a distinctive white-headed raptor soars just over the treetops.
Before we all paused to take in the eagle airshow, Sam had been explaining how The Nature Conservancy's Voorhees Nature Preserve is all about connections.
We're here in mid-April because a critical connection has been restored. Sam Lindblom and Sam Truslow, Conservancy land managers, are readying the preserve to welcome visitors for the first time since 2011.
Bridge Over Troubled Water
The goats are a popular attraction for families enjoying Westmoreland Berry Farm, the starting point for visiting Voorhees. The animals walk a bridge that rises from their pasture, crosses over a farm road and ends at a platform where kids use a pulley system to send up feed.
No doubt both Sam Lindblom and Sam Truslow can relate to the watchful goat. In 2011, they stood at a similar dead end at the edge of the farm, looking at the shattered remains of the bridge that previously spanned Owl Hollow marsh and provided access to the heart of our wooded preserve.
Tropical Storm Lee and Hurricane Irene had scoured the marsh. Downed trees and assorted debris stacked up and ultimately washed into and through the bridge on the way to the Rappahannock.
"Imagine someone driving a tank right through the middle of the bridge," says Sam Truslow, describing the damage.
With no safe passage across the marsh for visitors and lacking funds to enact costly repairs, the Conservancy was forced to close the preserve.
Supporters and Volunteers to the Rescue
Thanks to generous support from the adult children of the late Alan and Nathalie Voorhees (the original preserve donors), a new and improved bridge now spans Owl Hollow. Portions of the main access trail also have been repaired or relocated.
Dominion Virginia Power contributed additional financial support and some 20 volunteers. A seasoned trail crew from the Student Conservation Association provided their expertise and additional hands-on labor to finish the trail reconstruction in time for a spring 2013 reopening.
"The Voorhees Nature Preserve is an opportunity for us to showcase the work that we do in the state, and you can spend a beautiful day here at the farm and on the preserve enjoying nature with your family," says Sam Truslow. "We're excited to show people the new trails and new bridge and to get families out here to connect with nature," he adds.
How to Visit Voorhees
Voorhees Nature Preserve is open spring though fall during Westmoreland Berry Farm's regular operating hours. Visitors should park in the main lot by the farm store and check in at the office. A kiosk with a large trail map and other preserve information is located near the entrance to the farm store.
School and other groups may also arrange to visit during other times. Contact the Virginia Chapter office in Charlottesville for information at (434) 295-6106.
Voorhees is located near Colonial Beach on Virginia's Northern Neck. Visit the Voorhees Nature Preserve page for driving directions and other information.

Road to PowerPlex: Collaborating for Growth With Plante Moran
By Daniel Burkhart, Senior Consultant, Management Consulting, ERP Team, Plante Moran
It's been a year since we gathered for PowerPlex 2012 — and what a year it's been! What better way to share in the excitement and growth of Plex than to collaborate at PowerPlex 2013.
PowerPlex is a wonderful time of year for the entire Plex community. It affords users the unique opportunity to network with other customers, partners and Plex representatives to ensure they are getting the most out of their Plex experience. But whether you are there to learn, network or just simply share in the excitement, PowerPlex has something to offer everyone.
I have always enjoyed the social aspect of PowerPlex. Rarely do you see such a diverse group of individuals, all with a variety of perspectives based on their own experiences.
What makes this so special is that, collectively, the collaboration of these experiences will solve problems, drive innovation and perpetuate growth. We, as a community, have an opportunity to work together and devise solutions to common problems. Our experiences — past, present and future — will continue to shape the overall landscape of Plex.
