Andrew A. Humphreys (1810-1883)
Andrew Atkinson Humphreys was a brigadier general in the Union Army. He was a topographical engineer and George McClellan's topographical chief. When Winfield S. Hancock had to relinquish command of the 2nd Corps because of his wound from Gettysburg, Grant chose Humphreys for the post, which he kept until the surrender at Appomattox. In 1866 he was appointed chief engineer with the regular rank of brigadier general. .

Liv-Ex Market Report
by Liv-ex.com, May 2005
Activity in May showed a steadiness not seen all year. The market seemed buoyed and confident leading to a 25% up tick in volumes on April and a strong 45% increase year on year. Stock held by the leading UK merchants was flat for the second consecutive month, bringing a halt (for now) to the steady declines of the past twelve months. The Liv-ex 100 rose 0.6%, taking its annual gain to 4.3%.

There is no doubt that, when it comes to Bordeaux, Robert Parker has no peers in the world of critics. His scores move markets. But there are others who have built solid reputations and contribute to an increasingly diverse set of opinions, to the benefit of us all. One such person is Stephen Tanzer. In his May/June issue (no 120) of The International Wine Cellar, Tanzer reviews Bordeaux vintages 2002, 2003, 2004. Below are a couple of snippets we thought were of interest:
To buy or not to buy. Vintage 2004 is not likely to be an investment-grade vintage, and thus it would appear to make little sense to purchase 2004s as futures. With relatively few out-and-out exceptional wines, with worldwide demand generally restrained, with a lot of available cash having already been spent on the 2003s, and with the Euro currently strong, there is little reason to believe that any but the very scarcest items will quickly disappear from the marketplace and escalate in value. Obviously, demand for the vintage will depend to a great degree on opening prices, and it is entirely possible that some wines will open at prices lower than the 2002s. Even so, many U.S. importers are reluctant to commit to purchases now with a weak U.S. dollar. They are hopeful that by the time the wines are ready to be shipped, the dollar will have improved.
(more in the full report)
Final Thought
It has become a regular theme in this piece to argue that older claret looks better value than young vintages. We have argued that with few exceptions wines released en primeur since 1995 have not been sufficiently cheap to justify the opportunity cost (let alone the storage cost) of holding the wines. Moreover, we have showed the huge differential in supply between mature claret and younger vintages. For example, the total stock of 2000 claret on offer in the UK, exceeds the total stock of all wines on offer from the eighties. Despite this, wines like Mouton Rothschild 1986 trade at similar prices to its younger 2000 sibling, despite enjoying a higher Parker score and 14 years of extra bottle age. In the wake of the relative failure of the recently completed 2004 campaign, anomalies such as this are becoming even more ridiculous and unsustainable.
Indeed, although prices were mostly significantly down on 2003, wines in 2004 were by and large still priced too high to sell in big volume. It is true that there were some successes, but in the most part prices were frustratingly high relative to the quality of the wines. An update of last month's fair value analysis shows that on average the top wines were 11% overvalued, suggesting that consumers were right to give the vintage a wide berth.

|"My dear, I am an old woman. I have travelled at home and abroad, and NEVER, NEVER have I known any good to come out of a concertina."
|Time: 76 mins.
Rating: Not Rated
Genre: Romance/Comedy/Mystery
SYNOPSIS: A Swedish princess boards an ocean liner in Europe en route to an acting career in America, and finds herself getting inconveniently attached to a bandleader returning home. To complicate matters, a blackmailer on board apparently knows she is not who she claims to be - and he has his sights set on other passengers with secrets of their own. In the meantime an escaped killer has stowed away under someone else's identity, and is killing again to cover his tracks. When evidence points to the princess and bandleader, they must find the killer themselves before he finds them.
BOTTOM LINE: Lombard must have been slightly nervous to play the Princess in this piece, since her character is so obviously a takeoff of Great Garbo's onscreen persona. Especially with Garbo at the height of her cinematic powers. Clearly they figured she would find at least a bit of humor in the homage. The accent and attitude give Lombard's character greater comic depth than her usual dames, allowing her to strut not only her beauty but her impeccable sense of timing. Her secret also adds to the usual boy-meet-girl on a boat scenario considering it ends up causing a murder. The mystery isn't all that interesting (though it's fairly well-constucted), however, it helps fill the time in between ports. Which is a good thing, because MacMurray just doesn't cut it as a romantic lead. They have decent chemistry, but there is no magic in their meeting. You go along with their romance because they're the stars and they're supposed to fall in love. The supporing cast led by Frawley, Skipworth and Hall are expert scene-stealers and the reason I gave this film an extra half star. Worth a look for those who want to see what Lombard's talent is all about.

Soldiers from Burkina Faso receive instruction on personnel searching and traffic control point procedures from US Army soldiers in June. (Franklin Moore/US Army)
- Filed Under
WASHINGTON — US lawmakers continue reacting skeptically to the Obama administrations quiet US military and intelligence pivot to Africa, this time holding up millions to counter violent extremists there.
The Pentagon wants to shift almost $7 million for, as the Senate Armed Services Committee describes in a budget document obtained by Defense News, information operations that shape the information environment in Africa in order to counter violent extremist ideology.
That funding shift within the fiscal 2014 Defense Department budget is part of a broader shift kicked into gear by the White House earlier this year.
A senior administration official in early June told reporters the White Houses new approach for fighting al-Qaida stretches all the way to the Sahel, adding the US will have resources to allocate across the region.
Members of Congress support generally support doing more in Africa, where al-Qaida splinter groups and ones inspired by the group are training and operating. In one section of a House Armed Services Committee-written report released this spring and approved by the full chamber, lawmakers call Africa the front lines of the next phase of the terrorist threat.
But even the congressional defense committees want to know more about just what the Pentagon is up in Africa.
In May, the House passed a 2015 defense authorization bill that raises concerns about the Defense Departments use of private contractors in Africa, citing problems encountered in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Members of both parties from both chambers continue to slam the Obama administration's proposed $5 billion counterterrorism program, which is in large part intended to take on extremist groups in North Africa. The Senate Appropriations Defense subcommittee's 2015 Pentagon spending bill, for instance, raises a slew of questions about the program and cuts the funding to $1.9 billion.
House members also are raising an eyebrow.
We understand that these initiatives were levied on the [Defense] Department by the White House without coordination, and youre now working to develop spending plans, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., told a panel of senior Pentagon officials in mid-July.
But while counterterrorism partnerships and reassuring our European allies are important and necessary, the presidents approach lacks detail and is too broad in scope, McKeon said.
The lower chambers version of the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) contains a provision that would require the US comptroller general to deliver lawmakers a detailed report about US Africa Commands ability to plan, manage and oversee contractors.
While the challenges and deficiencies regarding the planning, management, and oversight of contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan have been well documented, and the department has taken several steps to address these challenges, the [House Armed Services Committee] notes that the challenges associated with contractor support for other types of operations in other regions could be substantially different, states a report accompanying that legislation.
Now, the Senate Armed Services Committee wants more data about just what the $6.9 million for Africa info operations would be used for.
The SASC document, dated July 31, signals the panel might not hold up the proposed funding shift forever. The document states the committee is still reviewing some deferred items.

Vodafone to add 150 shops in UKComment on this story
London - Vodafone Group said on Thursday it would add 150 shops and create 1 400 jobs across the United Kingdom during the next 12 months in a 100-million-pound investment.
The British group said the expansion is part of the company's plans to invest one billion pounds in the United Kingdom in 2014 where it serves 19 million customers.
Vodafone last year in June said that it would increase its UK expenditure by more than 50 percent to nearly one billion pounds.
The opening of the new shops will increase the total number of Vodafone's branded UK outlets to more than 500, the company said.
It plans to open first of the 150 stores in Notting Hill, Fulham, Walthamstow, Wembley, Ilford, Perry Barr and Bicester.
Vodafone is the third-largest mobile operator in Britain after EE, a joint venture between Orange and Deutsche Telekom, and Telefonica's O2.
British Prime Minister David Cameron supported Vodafone's plans.
"It is a sign that our long-term economic plan to create jobs and build a stronger, more competitive economy is working," he said in a statement. - Reuters

First-time scarf campaign knits a closer community
December 26, 2012
By Staff
Claire Petersky thought it would go well, just not this well.
Petersky, from the Sammamish-based Eastside Friends of Seniors, heard that North Bend's Cascade Covenant Church wanted to assemble care packages for elderly residents across the Upper Snoqualmie Valley.
Then, she saw that the list of items for the packages included scarves, and the proverbial light bulb went off.
"I said, 'I have an idea,'" Petersky said. "'Since we have such great relationships with different congregations in the community, I'll ask them to see if they can knit for us."
She asked around and calculated that if everyone said yes, she would get about 40 scarves. Not that that was her outlook.
"The reason I asked so many groups was I thought I would be lucky if one of these groups came through," she said. "And that's how we got so overwhelmed, because everybody said, 'Oh, we would love to participate.'"
Instead of 40 she found herself sorting through more than 120 items.
Cascade Covenant distributed about 60 scarves in North Bend.
About 15 scarves and care packages went to the Bellevue-Redmond area, and 15 more went to the Sammamish and Issaquah area.
Another 15 went to seniors living in isolated areas of the Eastside as part of emergency kits with batteries, hand-crank radios and flashlights.
The last 15 went out to homebound participants of the Meals-on-Wheels program at the Issaquah Valley Senior Center.
People as far as Hobart and Carnation got scarves, Petersky said.
Churches, service groups, nonprofit organizations and private individuals contributed with the care packages and scarves. Petersky said she never expected to get such a response, particularly since this is the first year they tried to collect scarves.
"We had scarves, knit scarves from Texas, from a friend who read it online on a blog, and said, 'I can send some,'" Petersky said. "Just a huge outpouring from the community."
People knitted not just scarves but also shawls and hats, or knitted more than one scarf. The friend from Texas knit four, Petersky said.
Petersky does not knit, so she did not realize how widespread the enthusiasm for knitting is on the Eastside.
"Knitters tend to have knit stuff for everyone in their family," she said. "So, once that's done, they are excited to have someone else to knit for."
According to the U.S. Census, most seniors in the U.S. are women. The trend holds true on the Eastside, Petersky said, so most scarves came in festive and bright colors. Only a few carried dark, conservative, manly-man colors.
Knitters had to be careful with seniors' allergies. A few seniors asked Petersky whether knitters owned pets. One scarf smelled of cigarette smoke.
"Next time, we can say, 'Please, only use synthetic so they can be easily washed,'" she said.
The knitting helps people think more often about the elderly in our communities, Petersky said.
"So often, they are forgotten people, they are often off by themselves, homebound," she said. "A lot of times you forget they are there."

I have been harassed, picked on and bullied by people so much that I feel unsafe to go out in public.
You can respect my feelings by treating others the way you want to be treated. Being harassed by other people and picked on and bullied, makes me feel bad and afraid.
Bullies are usually looking for a reaction. When people pick on me, I find that it is best to ignore the bully and just walk away. There is no reason why I should have to put up with this everyday.
We need to stop the bullying before it gets any worse.
I don't have an easy life and I have a lot of failures in life. But, I am grateful for life and I am grateful that I can help other people feel good about themselves. I am grateful that I do have some achievements in my life.
I am looking for a full-time or part-time job. I can do yardwork and I can shovel snow, rake leaves, and pull weeds.
I exercise to feel good and to look good. I want to add more muscle mass to my chest. Maybe then the bullies will leave me alone.
I just want to be happier and I want to help people that need a hand. I want to live my life by giving back. I want to be good to people and never be a bully.

SWAT standoff in Munhall nabs suspected killer
A man accused of fatally shooting his mother Wednesday night in Munhall was taken into custody Thursday after a standoff with Allegheny County SWAT officers.
Anthony Scholl, 41, allegedly killed his mother Bernadette Scholl, 74, of Munhall in her home in the Munhall-Homestead Housing Association at Longfellow Drive.
"Munhall (police) did an excellent job as far as securing the scene and taking him into custody," Allegheny County Police assistant superintendent James Morton said. "We're getting a search warrant now for the house because he lives there also (with the victim). There was no dispute. He just shot his mother some time during the night we believe.
"I believe one of the other daughters called 911. I think he was calling his sisters telling them what he actually did. I don't have any information on the phone calls. I just know they took place. There was another sister in the home at that time. She was not harmed. When the police came, they got her out. The mother was pronounced (dead) immediately."
Scholl ran upstairs when police arrived. Munhall and SWAT officers made entry into the residence.
"I think he was tazered," Morton said.
One of Bernadette Scholl's best friends, Judy Joyner, was extremely emotional as she waited with other friends and residents of the housing complex near the intersection of Longfellow Drive and West Run Road.
West Homestead and West Mifflin police were restricting access of pedestrians and vehicles at that intersection.
Others responding to the scene were Homestead police, Munhall Area Prehospital Services, Allegheny County Fire Marshall Arson Response Team
"I talked with her last night," Joyner said. "It was a normal good night, love you, God bless you. That was her famous saying. I can't believe he did it. We knew he was going to do something. We knew it. Everybody started calling me. We were out Easter shopping."
Joyner said she and other people tried to convince Bernadette not to let her son live with her.
"We all did," Joyner said. "She said, 'Where am I going to put him? ... Tony, he's sick."
Resident Virginia Cannon said she learned of the standoff via Facebook and telephone calls. She rushed from her Homestead job to check on her two teenage children and a friend's teenager, who were in a nearby building a few doors away from the scene.
"I've been in contact with them constantly," Cannon said. "They are to stay away from doors and windows. The three of them are in my living room right now. This stuff doesn't go on up here. There's some mild drug activity, but this is the first time something like this has happened there. I've lived in this area all my life, and this was always a safer place."
Cannon said she knew the family, but stayed away from Anthony Scholl.
Cannon and Joyner tearfully embraced and both said Bernadette Scholl was a wonderful woman.
West Mifflin resident Jennifer Bennett came to check on her mother Sheryl Bennett, who lives across from the scene. Sheryl Bennett was not home at the time of the standoff.
"It's nothing like what I grew up in," Jennifer Bennett said. "She was pretty upset in the car. I keep trying to convince her to move."
"It's just a shame this had to happen to her," Sheryl Bennett said.
Resident Eric Smith said he's spoken to Anthony Scholl at times, and he has guns and mental issues.
"The scenario up here doesn't look to good," Smith said. "He's absolutely crazy."
Residents said Anthony Scholl's son, Anthony Scholl Jr., 22, of West Homestead, is in jail for allegedly chasing down and slicing the neck of a cyclist who cursed at him and cut him off in traffic on Sept. 5.
He's charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in connection with the attack on the city steps leading up the South Side Slopes. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 8 at Pittsburgh Municipal Court.
The same day as the stabbing, court records show, District Judge Thomas Torkowsky arraigned Scholl on charges that he lied when purchasing an AK-47 in July. Torkowsky released him on $10,000 unsecured bond, according to court records.

Hudson -- Two coffee shops in Hudson have been on opposite courses, with one recently closing and another thriving.
Peet's Coffee & Tea, 34 Park Lane in Hudson, closed its doors at 7 p.m. Aug. 3.
The reason for the closure was unclear.
Company officials did not return calls for comment, and the local owner was not at the shop during two phone calls asking for a comment.
The shop, formerly a Caribou Coffee, opened earlier this year under the Peet's banner, a West Coast-based company, according to Regan Gettens, vice president/property management of Fairmount Properties, which manages the First & Main shopping district.
Gettens was advised by Peet's corporate offices that several of its shops in the Ohio and Pennsylvania area would be closing, according to Gettens.
"It comes as somewhat of a shock to us and also a disappointment," Gettens said July 31. "Given the good relationship that we had with Caribou prior to Peet's assuming the lease a little less than a year ago."
Gettens said that perhaps the change from a comfortable interior, with couches, dark wood and a fire place, when the shop was under the Caibou name, to a more brightly lit, open West Coast look might not have been the best fit for Hudson.
One door closes,
another opens
The comfortable and welcoming interior seems to be working for the owners of the Open Door Coffee Company, 164 N. Main St., which is located in the former Saywell's Drug building.
"I don't think we could be much happier," owner Charles Pinnell said of the business, which opened in early June.
Pinnell co-manages the shop, which is not a franchise, with his wife, Deborah. The shop has 10 employees, according to Pinnell.
"We are in the perfect location, Pinnell said of the shop, which occupies the former Hattie's Cafe spot, across from the Clock Tower. "It's within reach of everybody and within walking distance of a lot of residential areas."
The shop's interior is a mixture of new decor and historic Hudson, according to Pinnell. The interior includes high tops chairs and tables, mixed with leather couches in the window and tables made from old doors, he added.
"It gives it the look of a living room type of setup," Pinnell said.
The interior seating allows customers to enjoy their beverages while looking at the Green and downtown goings on.
"We want to be a destination for the community," Pinnell said. "And our priority, above all, is the quality of what is in your cup every day. That is the top priority."
Comfort, culture, art and music are also important, Pinnell added.
He attributes the success of his shop to being able to get a historic location, steeped in local history, he said. The mix appeals to both the older and younger generations, Pinnell said.
The shop also offers daily fresh home-bake goods and carries a line of homemade health bars.
"We are building the business slow and carefully," Pinnell said. "But it is growing."
Pinnell said he was grateful the city of Hudson has embraced the shop.

Once you setup your Android device and link it to a Google Account, the account you used becomes the central account for GTalk, Gmail, Maps and other Google services. But what if you want to change the account? The Android OS doesn't provide a way to simply enter new account information. Here's what you'll need to do.
Non-rooted users
If your device isn't rooted, the only thing you can do is perform a hard reset on the device. You can normally do this under Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset. Doing this will wipe all data and settings from the device.
Unfortunately, if you really need to change the main Google account, this is the only option unless you gain root access. If you wish to gain root access, you'll have to research how to root your specific device. Many devices can be rooted using Gingerbreak.
Rooted users
If you have root access to your device, you're in luck. There is a handy trick you can use to change the main Google account without performing a hard reset.
1. Download and install Root Explorer.
2. Open Root Explorer and select Allow to allow root access if prompted.
3. Navigate to the /data/system directory.
4. Tap and hold the accounts.db file, then select Rename.
5. Rename the file to accounts.db.old to make a backup of the file.
6. Restart your Android device.
7. Once the device restarts, open an app that requires a Google account such as Market, Gmail or GTalk. You will be prompted to create a new account or login using an existing account. That's all there is to it.

Dixie Applied Technology Students try to salvage items taken from a basement of a home affected by the September 2012 Santa Clara flood.
- Filed Under
Nearly seven months after a dike broke in Santa Clara, causing the flooding of several homes and businesses, students of the Dixie Applied Technology College continue to repair the home of a couple who are on their LDS mission.
Greg Bartholomew, DXATC director of industrial programs and SkillsUSA adviser, said he first became aware of the damage to Brent and Chris Fackrell's home after the college's president, Kelle Stephens, asked Bartholomew to check on the home of a former DXATC board member.
"I was unsure where (the board member) lived, so I contacted my good friend Brent Fackrell, who ...

Nicole Kidman. Grace of Monaco. Grace Kelly. It all sounds so elegant and graceful. Drop in Uday Chopra's name and you have spoilt the broth – not an apt phrase here but that's all we could think! Uday C means no grace and no elegance. Just Dhoom 3 buffoonery.
But sigh! This is the guy, who as CEO of YRF Entertainment in Los Angeles, gets to produce Hollywood films. One such film is Grace of Monaco, starring superstar Nicole Kidman playing the actor-turned-princess. And this film will open the 67th Festival de Cannes in May 2014.
That's good news. What's bad is that you just might spot Uday walking the red carpet at Cannes with Nicole and the other actors of the movie. Trust us, it will not be a pretty sight – reminding us of how it looked when Sachiin Joshi was at Cannes with hottie Candice Boucher for their film Azaan!
Of course, how can we compare Nicole to Candice, and Sachiin to Uday, you might say. Plus, Nicole has to agree to be seen beside her (younger) producer na. But these points later. We'd rather Uday takes along his girlfriend Nargis Fakhri with him to Cannes. At least she'll be a treat for the senses and a distraction from him, what say? and Nicole can walk alone.
Jokes apart, we wish all the best for his Hollywood endeavours!
Directed by Olivier Dahan, Grace of Monaco's US release was recently postponed by The Weinstein Company. Maybe it wants to see the response at Cannes first, as is the norm.
The film's opening in France this year is not just for Nicole, but also a tribute to the real Grace Kelly, says the Cannes festival website. Grace met her future husband, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, at Cannes fest itself. The movie stars Tim Roth as the Prince. We sure are looking forward to seeing Grace of Monaco!

I have a mare that was hotter than a tasmanian devil going in....oh how that was the miserablest 2yrs of my LIFE. She would rear, spin, take off in the OPPOSITE direction of the gate. She was just a hot idiot (bought her that way....she was a dream until her lovely 30 day tranq wore off and we found out her TRUE colors were). After those 2yrs I started her over from the ground up. After that hard work she walked in, I just had to slowly work my way up as about the 2nd to last person before me ran so I could just go right in. But all hell would break lose if you had some idiot run infront of you as your trying to go in the alley....then the fight was on since I had to grab her. But other then that she would walk in for the most part.
So since that lovely experience I make sure my horses are calm and cool. I can't stand a horse that is out of control going in. JJ gets a little hot at times but usually just at 3 day races where he KNOWS what he is there for, he gets chargey so I have to hold him a little tighter going in but he usually settles in once he knows he isn't going anywhere. His thing is about 5 before me I can feel him puff up (not really in a hot way, but in a I'm Ready way), he may get a little antsy when we are waiting in the indoor while his eyes adjust but once they call my name and we are heading to the gate he walks right in.
This is a good video that shows how he goes in 99% of the time...
When we get home after a race we do slow work the following ride especially if he is getting hot during the heavy schedule time of year to get him back on track. Because he is the hot type of horse and if in the wrong hands could be one of the crazy tazmanian devil type horses that you are like....Woah really?.
I do NOT tolerate horses acting like idiots...it truely pisses me off more then anything when one starts acting out.
The other two are still early in training so they go in like durr duh dur. But when Scrat gets nervous he sorta is antsy but not hot....just his nerves sometimes get the best of him and he occasionally has a split second meltdown before he is like "oooooo kkkkk....I THINK I got this after all".
My expectations for my horses is to be calm, cool, and collect before they run and after they run (even though JJ is a puffed up, ADHD kid hyped up on Ice Cream and Mnt. Dew after he runs....he has a HILARIOUS swag and grows about 2 hands with his overflowing ego lol).
I don't want to be known as the girl with the crazy out of control horses, but the girl that's horses are calm and get the job done without a scene.

About two inches fell in Clay County Wednesday and some people soon found out how hazardous it was to be out in it.
Rollin Roberts admits he should have stayed home on Wednesday.
"I didn't even have any business out today, but I thought I'd go out and see how the roads were," Roberts said from the cab of his truck that had just slid into a ditch on Greasy Road. "Well, [I] went over the curve here. And couldn't stop, and it just went to the right and over the ditch. I've been in this ditch before, though a couple of years back."
The snow in Southeastern Kentucky surprised some.
About 20 miles away in Laurel County there's merely a dusting. But in Clay, traveling was treacherous.
"It's awful, man. It's slick up here. Don't come out if you don't have to," said Tony Buttery.
The good news is that both local and state police said that there have only been a few minor accidents and none of them involved injuries.

The Amber Room (2003)
by Steve Berry
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Amber Room was a treasure looted by the Nazis and lost during the end of WWII. Steve Berry's debut novel is a thriller based around the story. While there are similarities to the many types of book dealing with lost treasures, it was refreshing and interesting to have the WWII elements. Yes, we do have a couple involved and ruthless killers, but this is actually well written and well researched. The "suddenly, as rare things will, it vanished" is a quote from Browning and is used during the book, it's an apt and appropriate quote.
A US Judge follows the trail of the Amber Room once her father is killed and she discovers he was involved in the search for the room at the back end of the war. It appears he had a secret that he kept until his death. Rachel's estranged husband joins her as they follow the trail through the types of adventures and close calls that we have now come to expect of these books. Well written and quite good fun if you like these kind of things.
When Rachel Cutler's elderly father dies after falling down a flight of stairs, ending up with a broken neck, her ex-husband Paul becomes the executor of his estate. He finds papers in his former father-in-law's safety deposit box that lead him to information about The Amber Room which was constructed almost entirely of amber over many centuries in Russia and which disappeared after World War II. Visits by some unusual strangers convince Rachel to go Germany to try to discover what her father meant in his notes, even though he warned her not to do so.
Greed, lust, treachery, and death are the basis of THE AMBER ROOM. It is the story of what she discovers, revolving around a group of nine very rich men who steal art treasures that have been previously stolen just for the ability to have them on display in their own mansions. Many, but not all the items, were stolen by Hitler and Goring as they looted museums and personal collections of their victims during the Nazi Invasion. The book details how some of the treasures were hidden near the end of the war.
During her trip, Rachel does some self-examination to try to figure out why her marriage failed.
The book is fast-paced and maintains the reader's interest. There is a little repetition and a couple unlikely scenarios, e.g., when Rachel's secretary tells a stranger where Rachel is going and when she is leaving. I don't believe a judge's secretary would ever be that open.
Looking for the famed Nazi pillaged treasure and the infamous "Amber Room" stolen from Russia. Fun story
Signed First Edition
### From Publishers Weekly
First-time novelist Berry weighs in with a hefty thriller that's long on interesting research but short on thrills. Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler and ex-husband Paul are divorced but still care for each other. Rachel's father, Karol Borya, knows secrets about the famed Amber Room, a massive set of intricately carved panels crafted from the precious substance and looted by Nazis during WWII from Russia's Catherine Palace. The disappearance of the panels, which together formed a room, remains one of the world's greatest unsolved art mysteries. Borya's secret gets him killed as two European industrialists/art collectors go head to head in a deadly race to find the fabled room. Searching for Borya's killer, Rachel and Paul bumble their way to Europe, where their naivet� triggers more deaths. Berry has obviously done his homework, and he seems determined to find a place for every fact he's unearthed. The plot slows for descriptions of various art pieces, lectures and long internal monologues in which characters examine their innermost feelings and motives in minute detail, while also packing in plenty of sex and an abundance of brutal killings. A final confrontation between all the principals ends in a looming Bavarian castle where Rachel is raped. All the right elements are in place, but the book is far too long and not as exciting as the ingredients suggest. Readers may end up wishing Berry had written a nonfiction account of the fascinating story of the Amber Room and skipped the fictional mayhem.

### From
Give this man credit: whereas most lawyers who decide to write a novel stay fairly close to home, Berry, a Georgia trial attorney, wanders far off the beaten path. Although his debut novel features a trial judge as its central character and opens with a pretty typical courtroom scene, it soon steps outside the courtroom--way outside. When Judge Rachel Cutler's father dies under suspicious circumstances, he leaves his daughter tantalizing clues to a decades-old secret: the Amber Room, an exquisite treasure that, so the legend goes, was appropriated by the Nazis when they invaded the Soviet Union. Now, to find out why her father died, and who's responsible, Rachel (with her ex-husband, Paul) heads off to Germany, where she hopes to find the truth about the Amber Room. Based loosely, very loosely, on certain historical events, the novel is plotted cleverly and written with style and substance. A welcome change from the usual legal-thriller fare from wanna-be Turows. *David Pitt*

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345504380, Mass Market Paperback)The Amber Room is one of the greatest treasures ever made by man: an entire room forged of exquisite amber, from its four massive walls to its finely crafted furniture. But it is also the subject of one of history's most intriguing mysteries. Originally commissioned in 1701 by Frederick I of Prussia, the Room was later perfected Tsarskoe Selo, the Russian imperial city. In 1941, German troops invaded the Soviet Union, looting everything in their wake and seizing the Amber Room. When the Allies began the bombing of Germany in August 1944, the Room was hidden. And despite the best efforts of treasure hunters and art collectors from around the world, it has never been seen again.
Now, two powerful men have set their best operatives loose in pursuit, and the hunt has begun once more. . . .
Life is good for Atlanta judge Rachel Cutler. She loves her job, loves her kids, and remains civil to her ex-husband, Paul. But everything changes when her father, a man who survived the horrors of World War II, dies under strange circumstances—and leaves behind clues to a secret he kept his entire life . . . a secret about something called the Amber Room.
Desperate to know the truth about her father's suspicious dealings, Rachel takes off for Germany, with Paul close behind. Shortly after arriving, they find themselves involved with a cast of shadowy characters who all claim to share their quest. But as they learn more about the history of the treasure they seek, Rachel and Paul realize they're in way over their heads. Locked in a treacherous game with ruthless professional killers and embroiled in a treasure hunt of epic proportions, Rachel and Paul suddenly find themselves on a collision course with the forces of power, evil, and history itself.
A brilliant adventure and a scintillating tale of intrigue, deception, art, and murder, The Amber Room is a classic tale of suspense—and the debut of a strong new voice in the world of the international thriller.

Fidelity Funds - European Smaller Cos A-EUR
Managed by
Colin Stone
Before entering the world of investment management, Colin Stone took a masters in engineering from Cambridge. He went on to complete an MEng Engineering at Herriot-Wyatt University in 1984 and then worked as a petroleum engineer for Britoil. Stone joined Fidelity as a research analyst in 1987 and became a portfolio manager three years later. He looks for companies that are under-researched or not adequately understood, and consequently undervalued. Companies at the forefront of niche markets are also ones that he prefers. This investment approach is applied to his Fidelity European Smaller Companies fund. He is also responsible for the Fidelity European Opportunities unit trust and several institutional funds.
The fund aims to generate long-term capital growth through investing principally in equity securities of small and medium-sized European companies.

He's pleased that his receivers are finally making some big catches.
And he believes his team has plenty of leadership to replace injured star linebacker Mike Mauti.
He's even optimistic about senior cornerback D'Anton Lynn, who was carried off the field on a backboard but could be cleared to practice by the end of the week.
But his offensive line?
His running game?
That's a different story as the Nittany Lions prepare to enter the Big Ten season on Saturday in Indiana.
Penn State's rushing offense is ranked last in the Big Ten and 75th nationally, averaging only 137 yards per game.
Highly-touted tailback Silas Redd is averaging only 75.8 yards per game after a strong season debut. That's 68th nationally.
Last Saturday, Redd gained just 48 yards on 12 carries against Mid-American Conference softy Eastern Michigan.
Much of the blame, though, is being directed at the blockers in front of him. The group is experienced but doesn't appear to be opening holes often enough -- or wide enough.
Mix in a few bad snap exchanges between new center Matt Stankewitch and the quarterbacks, along with some costly penalties, and things are still real messy.
"We got a ways to go. We're not consistent," Paterno said. "We got to do a much better job running the football, particularly in this league.
"You can't play touch football.
"We're not a good running football team yet. We got the potential to be, but we're not yet."
Of course, part of the problems so far could be related to the opponents. Temple and Alabama are ranked first and second nationally in scoring defense.
The Crimson Tide also are third in rushing defense, allowing less than 46 yards per game.
The Lions, though, could get a break this weekend.
Indiana is 11th in the Big Ten against the run, giving up a whopping 190 yards per game.
He'll be back: Lynn will be checked by team doctors again on Thursday for concussion symptoms and could be cleared to practice then, Paterno said.
He still is listed as "doubtful" for Saturday's game.
And even that is a relief for Paterno, who said he was "scared to death" when Lynn was motionless on the field last Saturday.
Filling in for the senior cornerback could be some combination of Stephon Morris, Derrick Thomas and true freshman Adrian Amos.
Easy-going for McGloin? Paterno admitted that it may be easier for Matt McGloin so far this season as the second man in the quarterback rotation.
Rob Bolden has started each game and McGloin has come on in relief.
"I think it's an advantage if you don't start at quarterback," Paterno said, "as long as you know you're going to play because of the fact you're getting an opportunity from the sideline to see what the defense is doing, get a feel for the pace of the game and so forth.
"So when you go in, you don't have to make quite that adjustment that you do when you start a game, because you're never sure what you're going to get."
But Paterno said he's unsure about changing the order of his rotation.
He said he's not sure who his starting quarterback will be against the Hoosiers.
The 700 Club: Paterno will coach his 700th game on Saturday as a member of the Penn State staff.
"I've coached 700 games? We'll, I've done my penance. I've had 700 press conferences," he said, the room of reporters cracking up.
"Honest to goodness, that may sound like I'm being a phony, but I was unaware of it."

Egypt's court says parliament will be dissolved
CAIRO • Egypt's highest court ruled Thursday that much of the country's Islamist-dominated parliament was elected illegally, a decision that will force the dissolution of the legislative body and that plunged the country into turmoil on the eve of a landmark presidential election.
Local newspapers and Arabic television channels reported that Egypt's military rulers would seize legislative power and planned to announce that the lower house was being disbanded.
The lower house, known as the People's Assembly, is the most powerful part of the parliament. The Muslim Brotherhood, which controls just under half the seats in the lower house, stands to lose the most from the decision.
The court also ruled Thursday that Ahmed Shafiq, a former ally of ousted president Hosni Mubarak, is allowed to run for president, invalidating a law that had banned members of the disgraced dictator's party from participating in political life.
Protesters clashed with security forces outside the courthouse minutes after the rulings were announced. Incensed revolutionaries called the two decisions the death of Egypt's revolution and the final steps in a military coup.
"This ruling means that the next president will work without institutions; he will face huge criticism and rage," said Sobhi Saleh, a leading lawmaker from the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party.
Among Egypt's old guard, Saleh claimed, "there was outrage over the Islamic majority of the parliament. And there was a plan to destroy it."
The court said that political parties unlawfully fielded candidates for the one-third of seats in the lower house of parliament that were supposed to be set aside for independent candidates. As a result, lawmakers elected to those seats will lose their posts.
The judges on the top court are Mubarak appointees and seen as sympathetic to the old order. That perception could fuel confrontations between protesters and security forces, who were recently given vast powers to detain civilians.
"Both decisions empower the Mubarak status-quo, which is no surprise, as the judges of the court were appointed by the latter, and represent a part of the so-called 'deep-state,' " Omar Ashour, an Egypt expert at Exeter University, said in an email.
The question of Shafiq's eligibility to run for office centered on whether Shafiq ought to be subject to a recently passed law that bars senior members Mubarak's disbanded National Democratic Party from political life for 10 years. The court ruled that the law was unconstitutional.
Shafiq will compete for the presidency against Mohamed Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood candidate. Morsi and his allies say Shafiq wants to return Egypt's government to the repressive tactics Mubarak favored. Shafiq, in turn, says a Morsi victory would transform Egypt into an ultra-conservative Islamic state.
Amr Darrag, another leading member of the Freedom and Justice Party, said his party would respect the judicial decision regarding Shafiq's fitness to run for office and would continue to strive to beat him at the ballot box.
"Our position was to do our best to legally isolate Ahmed Shafiq from the post of president," Darrag said. "If we can't do that, then the people will isolate him with the vote."

Slick production values, solid controls, and tons of fan service can't make up for mediocre progression and a lack of content.
Fallout 4 may feel overly familiar to some, but there are plenty of places to go, people to see, and mutants to shoot, and most of those things are still exciting to visit, look at, and murder (though not necessarily in that order).
The occasionally extreme performance issues found in the console versions of Fallout 4 make those versions more difficult to recommend than their PC counterpart.

Ability to play as a non-human or extraterrestrial character.
Extraterrestrials appear in many video games in a variety of styles. Sometimes they're evil, sometimes they're benevolent, and sometimes they're very similar to humans.
Characters either begin with multiple outfits, unlock them through play, or purchase them as in-game items. These costumes are sometimes integral to play.
These are games based on toys or toy franchises.

Spinning® first caught Brooke Hayward's attention because it was something completely new in the industry—she was excited to be part of a movement that seemed so powerful and exciting! At the time she was teaching several other formats and wanted to expand her own possibilities to become more diverse in both her personal fitness and her career in the industry. A huge fan of using old school music in her classes, Brooke loves the opportunity to challenge so many people to become stronger and fit. She loves the sense of community within the program and the friendships that are made, both in and out of the studio.
Brooke feels that the ability of every individual to go all out or sit back is what makes the Spinning program so special—the challenge is yours for the taking. She loves to ask her riders "how bad do you want it?" then inspire them to go for it. She tells aspiring instructors to only jump in if they have the time and energy to prepare and give of yourself—being an instructor is all about giving back to others.
In addition to her role as a Spinning Master Instructor, Brooke holds professional certifications in Group Fitness from ACE and AFAA, in Personal Training from ACSM, and, from Mad Dogg Athletics, certifications in Bodyblade® and Ugi®.
I was teaching a very focused ride, with lots of hills. A woman in the front row had tears in her eyes the entire time—I kept going over to ask if she was ok, she said she was. At the end of the ride, she explained that her father had just passed, and several of the songs I had played were his favorites. She said she felt his presence in the room, one more time, and that he was singing and enjoying her life with her…they use to ride together.

Collections.sort() convert LinkedList
to Array, sort, make new LinkedList,
and return that.
Collections.appendAll() add all
elements from new collection not
joining them.
No way to split LinkedList without
additional memory allocation.
I want merge, sort, join, split. and I
don't want use any integer index for
linked list. (for nested iterating)
Is there any modified LinkedList?

Collections.sort(Collection c) returns void; that is, it sorts the Collection without creating a new one.
Collections.appendAll() doesn't exist, though there is an addAll() method in the Collection interface.
I don't know of any implementations/extensions such as those, but one should be fairly easy to code.
