Nacra Worlds and Finn European Championships - Lack of breeze on Day 1
by Craig Heydon on 23 Jul 2013
Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin launching their Nacra 17 in the Hague Nacra 17 World Championship
At the Nacra 17 World Championship in the Netherlands and the Finn European Championship in Germany, a lack of breeze has led to the cancellation of the opening day of racing.
Both events were scheduled to begin on Monday with crews spending the day on shore waiting for any breeze to appear.
Late in the day the Nacra 17 fleet in The Hague was released from shore as a light sea breeze filtered through, but the breeze had disappeared before racing could begin.
In Warnemunde, Germany, the 103 entrants in the Finn Europeans didn't get as far as the Nacras, with the sailors waiting on shore until racing was cancelled at 5pm.
'We didn't get any racing in today but did manage to get a tan in the German heat wave,' said Australian Finn sailor Jake Lilley. 'We sat in the club all day with the wind getting to a maximum of four knots before dying off again.
'The race management will probably push for three races and an early start tomorrow,' he said. 'I'm in good spirits for tomorrow and the rest of the regatta, can't wait to get some racing in.'

Court-ordered abortion, sterilization of Catholic woman in Mass. overturned by higher court
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, January 18, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – On Tuesday, the Massachusetts Appeals Court threw out a lower court's ruling that would have forced a mentally ill woman to undergo an abortion and be forcibly sterilized against her will.
Norfolk Family and Probate Court Judge Christina Harms had ruled on January 6 that the 32-year-old could be "coaxed, bribed, or even enticed…by ruse" until she was sedated for the procedures.
The woman, who is identified only by the pseudonym "Mary Moe," is approximately five months pregnant.
Moe, who suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, had a previous abortion in her history. She reportedly described herself as "very Catholic," and told the court she "wouldn't do that (abortion)" again. However, despite the testimony of a court-appointed specialist who determined Moe would not choose abortion, and the fact that Moe herself reportedly became "agitated and emotional'' when Judge Harms mentioned her previous abortion, the judge ruled that the specialist's findings were inconclusive.
Instead, Harms ruled that Moe was not mentally competent to decide whether to have the baby, and said that if she were mentally competent, she would choose to have an abortion so she could resume taking medication to treat her illness. She added that Moe's opposition to abortion stemmed from her "substantial delusional beliefs." Although no one had sought sterilization, Harms also ordered Moe sterilized "to avoid this painful situation from recurring in the future." The request that Moe abort originated with the state Department of Mental Health.
Click "like" if you want to end abortion!
Appellate Court Associate Justice Andrew R. Grainger overruled the decision, noting Harms' orders contradicted a 1982 state Supreme Court ruling allowing all the right to procreate. He added that Harms "simply produced the [sterilization] requirement out of thin air." Another judge in a lower court will make a final ruling.
Pro-life advocates expressed thanks at the Appeals Court's decision and dismay at the original ruling.
Terry Donilon, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Boston, told LifeSiteNews.com the original ruling was "outrageous."
"It's barbaric to force anyone to undergo a sterilization or abortion," constitutional expert John W. Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute told LifeSiteNews.com. "To force someone to go against their clearly expressed religious beliefs" is a clear violation of the First Amendment, he added.
"It's not up to the state to determine who has a child and who doesn't," he said. "If permitted, it's totalitarian."
"The nation should take note at how close we are coming to the forced abortion policy of communist China," Troy Newman of Operation Rescue wrote in a statement e-mailed to LifeSiteNews.com. "Can we now dispense with the 'pro-choice' label?"
"The abortion cartel has never wanted choice. They exist on an insatiable diet of more and more abortion."
Others were surprised such measures were still being performed in the name of public health. "I didn't realize that forced sterilizations were going on anywhere," said Howard Trachtman of the National Alliance on Mental Illness Massachusetts. Daniel Pollack of Yeshiva University, said, "My guess is it happens a lot more than we know."
The case demonstrates "the lingering shadow of eugenics, which has never left the 'progressive' agenda, despite its ugly history," Father Shenan J. Boquet, president of Human Life International, http://hli.org told LifeSiteNews.com.
Although Harms prescribed a compulsory abortion to help stop Moe's mental illness, abortion may have triggered her psychological issues in the first place. Court records show Moe had a "psychotic break" after her abortion and has been hospitalized numerous times for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
In 2003, researchers at the Elliott Institute found women with a history of previous abortion were nearly three-times as likely to have bipolar disorder, and a 2002 study by the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry observed that post-abortive women were being hospitalized for mental illnesses including schizophrenia.
In 2011, Dr. Priscilla Coleman of Bowling Green State University found nearly 10 percent of all mental illness in post-abortive women was "attributable to abortion."
Brian Camenker, director of MassResistance, told LifeSiteNews.com, "this shows is just how dangerous these lower courts are." Harms, who was appointed by Governor Michael Dukakis in 1989, retired on January 11. Camenker, who has long observed judicial trends in his home state, ranked Dukakis "probably the second worst [governor] in memory" for judicial appointments.
Fr. Boquet said he is happy the appeals court rejected "the extreme nature of the initial judge's decision."
"This young mother certainly needs help, not more violence in her life," he wrote. "We pray that she is able to get the help she needs."

Pope's exhortation is a 'breach' with Catholic Tradition: leading German philosopher
April 28, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – A prominent Catholic philosopher and close friend of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI said Thursday that Pope Francis's exhortation Amoris Laetitia is a "breach" with Catholic tradition and directly contradicts the teachings of Pope St. John Paul II in his exhortation Familiaris Consortio.
"If the pope is not willing to make a correction, it is up to another pontificate to officially put things back into order."
Professor Robert Spaemann told the Catholic News Agency's German branch that changing the Church's sacramental practice would be "a breach with its essential anthropological and theological teaching on human marriage and sexuality."
"It is clear to every thinking person who knows the texts that are important in this context that [with Amoris Laetitia] there is a breach" with the Church's Tradition, Spaemann said.
The professor's remarks were translated by Dr. Maike Hickson in an article at OnePeterFive.
In Familiaris Consortio, Pope St. John Paul II upheld the Church's longstanding approach to the question of admitting to the Sacraments remarried divorcees, by writing:
…the Church reaffirms her practice, which is based upon Sacred Scripture, of not admitting to Eucharistic Communion divorced persons who have remarried. They are unable to be admitted thereto from the fact that their state and condition of life objectively contradict that union of love between Christ and the Church which is signified and effected by the Eucharist. Besides this, there is another special pastoral reason: if these people were admitted to the Eucharist, the faithful would be led into error and confusion regarding the Church's teaching about the indissolubility of marriage.
Footnote 351 of Amoris Laetitia seemingly contradicts the above passage by asserting that in certain cases, integrating back into the Church the divorced and remarried and others in "irregular" situations "can include the help of the sacraments." The footnote then mentions both Confession and the Eucharist.
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Maria Santissima in Astana, Kazakhstan criticized Amoris Laetitia for its lack of clarity on the subject. "Analyzing some of the affirmations of AL with an honest understanding, as they are in their own context, one finds that there is a difficulty in interpreting them according to the traditional doctrine of the Church," wrote Schneider.
Spaemann also condemned the exhortation's seeming embrace of "situation ethics" as opposed to universal norms and its call to not judge people's actions that directly contradict the Church's sexual ethics.
"When it comes to sexual relations which are in objective contradiction to the Christian order of life, I would like to know from the pope after which time period and under which conditions such an objectively sinful behavior becomes a conduct which is pleasing to God," said Spaemann.
By turning "chaos into principle" with "one stroke of a pen," Pope Francis is leading the Church "into the direction of schism," Spaemann said—and he warned that such a schism would not be "at the periphery, but in the middle of the Church."
Spaemann also warned that Amoris Laetitia may be used to bully faithful priests. He wrote:
Each individual cardinal, as well as each bishop and each priest is now called to preserve in his field of authority the Catholic Sacramental Order and to confess it publicly. If the pope is not willing to make a correction, it is up to another pontificate to officially put things back into order.
Famed German Catholic philosopher makes waves for criticizing Pope Francis' 'autocratic' style

Federally funded community health center may have illegally performed abortions: Report
WASHINGTON, D.C., April 28, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – A federally qualified health center (FQHC) apparently performed abortions, although nearly all federal funds are forbidden from being used for that purpose, sources tell LifeSiteNews. Now, pro-life congressmen are demanding further investigations into the use of U.S. taxpayer funds to promote abortion-on-demand.
The issue came to light when a federal inspector general's report found that six Americorps volunteers had been acting as "abortion doulas," giving emotional support to women who chose to have abortions.
The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) allowed the volunteers – who received tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars – to support abortions that took place inside a New York abortion facility run by the Institute for Family Health (IFH).
Americorps "volunteers" illegally supporting abortion at taxpayer expense is an ongoing problem. But there's more to the story.
The IFH proudly advertises itself as a federally qualified health center (FQHC). Federal dollars are restricted from underwriting most abortion at FQHCs, in line with the Hyde Amendment. This does not hold true for the Affordable Care Act, conventionally known as ObamaCare.
To ease qualms raised by pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak and others, on March 24, 2010, Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13535. It states that "the Hyde [Amendment] language shall apply to the authorization and appropriations of funds for Community Health Centers...I hereby direct the Secretary of HHS to ensure that program administrators and recipients of federal funds are aware of and comply with the limitations on abortion services imposed on CHCs by existing law."
Pro-life groups warned at the time that an executive order was insufficient to prevent taxpayer funding of abortion, and the law itself had to be amended – or defeated.
Stupak, who voted for ObamaCare before retiring from Congress, later said he was "perplexed and disappointed" by President Obama's "double cross" during the law's implementation.
Pro-life experts today say Congress must investigate whether the law is being violated and, if so, if the offense is isolated to IFH.
"For years the Obama administration has claimed that the Affordable Care Act and federally-funded health centers do not subsidize abortion, and the president finally signed additional provisions, passed last year by Congress, to ensure that community health centers do not use federal funds to support abortion," said Arina Grossu, the director of the Center for Human Dignity at the Family Research Council. "Now we learn that CNCS is violating the law by helping women obtain abortions."
"This blatant violation of federal law by CNCS and AmeriCorps demands that Congress investigate government-funded community health centers," Grossu said. "It's time for this administration to stop foisting its radical abortion agenda on the American people and using their tax dollars to do so."
Pro-life advocates have long said that there is no need to fund Planned Parenthood, because federal women's health dollars could be reappropriated to FQHCs, which do not perform abortion.
There are 9,170 federally qualified health centers compared to about 700 Planned Parenthood facilities, according to the Charlotte Lozier Institute. FQHCs see 21.1 million patients a year, while Planned Parenthood saw 2.8 million people, the institute reported.
The latest example of federal dollars being channeled to support abortion, the law notwithstanding, has undermined some confidence in the FQHCs.
Rep. Diane Black, a pro-life Republican from Tennessee, said, "NACHC didn't just break the rules; they broke trust with the American people. My constituents expect that federal funding given to our community health centers will be used to protect and enhance people's lives, not to be a willing partner in their destruction."
At least two Congressional leaders – the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the chair of the House Health Subcommittee – have promised they will take action immediately.
"Federal law demands that taxpayer dollars are never to be spent on abortion activities. Not one penny. Period. But a disturbing report from an independent watchdog reveals that was not the case with brazen pursuits by the National Association of Community Health Centers," said Congressmen Fred Upton and Joseph Pitts of Pennsylvania, both Republicans. "The law was violated and this shameful failure of trust will not be tolerated."

Abortion lobbyists demand Ted Cruz renounce pro-life leader Troy Newman
WICHITA, Kansas, April 28, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – The nation's largest abortion providers, an abortion lobbying group, and an ultra-liberal political organization are demanding that Senator Ted Cruz cut ties with Operation Rescue President Troy Newman – something that only proves how effective he has been, Newman's organization says.
Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and People for the American Way are asking Cruz to fire Newman as national co-chair of the "Pro-Lifers for Cruz" coalition, claiming that Newman supports violence.
"Troy Newman's history of violent rhetoric and harassment toward women's health providers is truly beyond the pale," the three say in a letter to Sen. Cruz, linking to quotations from his 2000 book, Their Blood Cries Out.
"What Planned Parenthood and their cohorts call 'violent rhetoric' is really a discussion of Old Testament Bible verses taken out of context," said Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue and co-author of the book Their Blood Cries Out. The work establishes the sinful guilt of abortion before highlighting the mercy available in the New Testament for those who accept Jesus Christ, Sullenger said.
The letter also cites a report from the National Abortion Federation stating that abortionists have experienced an increase in "hate speech and internet harassment" since the release of CMP's undercover videos of Planned Parenthood, "which Newman was a driving force behind."
"What they call 'harassment' is peaceful activism that is completely protected by the First Amendment," Sullenger responded.
Newman has consistently denounced criminal action and violence of any kind during his decades in the pro-life movement, Operation Rescue said of the allegations – many of which were circulated to prevent Newman from entering Australia last year.
"Newman's position on abortion-related violence is clear. He denounces violence against abortion providers as well as the violence perpetrated by the abortion cartel against innocent babies in the womb and their mothers," Sullenger said.
"Attacking the messenger is the only way they have to try to discredit the hefty volume of evidence against them. This most recent attack is all about manipulating the public's perception against those who exposed Planned Parenthood in order to deflect attention from their own crimes."
But the three groups poured vitriolic scorn on Newman. Michael Keegan, president of People for the American Way, called Newman's role "completely unacceptable...No politician should be allowed to pander to violent anti-choice extremists without being called out."
NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue said, "Troy Newman is an anti-choice extremist and misogynist ideologue."
A Planned Parenthood executive said the choice proved Sen. Cruz and his vice presidential choice, Carly Fiorina, are unfit for office.
"It is not surprising to see Ted Cruz embrace this type of violent extremism -- after all this is the same man who has told malicious lies about Planned Parenthood, would criminalize abortion, and tried to shut down the government" to defund Planned Parenthood, said Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund. "This is what the Cruz-Fiorina ticket stands for."
Sullenger dismissed their rhetoric as "a feeble attempt to hurt the presidential candidacy of Sen. Ted Cruz, who they know will seek to enforce the laws against them."
Cruz has repeatedly stated that, if he is elected president, he will defund Planned Parenthood – before prosecuting them.
Their letter has led to a number of articles in the mainstream media, including Politico, the Huffington Post, and Glamour. The last publication, a feminist magazine aimed at young women, slammed Ted Cruz's choice of Carly Fiorina for vice president, telling its readers to "hold on to your uterus."
"Not one of these publications bothered to reach out to Newman or Operation Rescue's staff for their response," Sullenger said.
This morning and afternoon, both sides of the abortion debate have used the Twitter hashtag #FireTroy to get their message across.
Sen. Cruz has not responded to the call, but the letter implies that purging Newman from the campaign would not satisfy the pro-abortion coalition. "There are a number of coalition members whose records raise serious concerns," they say.

duplicate of memorial 140358573
Usually if there's a duplicate memorial, the oldest memorial trumps the new one. I created the memorial on 6 Nov 2010, and memorial # 140358573 was created on 22 Dec 2014. BUT if the person who created the newer memorial wants to, I will be happy to transfer the memorial I created to them so they can manage it.

RE: Charles S. Dow
No, I am not related to Charles Dow.
I have been researching in the Oregon State Archives- mainly for people buried in Lewis and Clark cemetery and ran across the two listings of records for Charles S. Dow---the intent for naturalization filed in 1880 Clatsop county and the citizenship in 1885- again for Charles S. Dow.
I suppose it is possible that it could be for the son---although the son would have been only 7 or 8 years old in 1880 (wasn't he born about 1872?)and his middle initial is "R" - not "S".
Or maybe there is another Charles S. Dow in Clatsop county.
It is interesting that the census place his birth in Vermont. It must be some other Charles Dow at the Archives.
Thanks for looking at it though

With the help of gauss theorem find the stream of the vector field W=[x^2/9.y^2/9,z^2/9] through the part of the cone surface x^2+y^2=2z closed by the deck z=3.
gauss' theorem has to do with electrodynamics flux's. specify which theorem you are asking to use plz
the convergance theorem
i don't think gauss has a convergence theorem. not that a know of. he has a divergence theorem but it can't be used here.
yes it's the divergence theorem
you're looking for stream, check physics forum?
ok, thanks
just do del dot W DV ∂(M)/∂x+∂(N)/∂y+∂(P)/∂z DV I would use sperical coordinates for this one its a triple integral looks like a lot of work but can be done. see "Stream" flow flux should all have the same meaning, saying that this feild is "FLOWING" through the cone.

Heart Disease Health Center
Angina (Chest Pain)
What Is Angina?
If you have a feeling of pressure or a squeezing in your chest, it may be angina. It can feel like a heart attack, but often it's a warning sign from your heart.
There's a lot you can do to stop it from happening. Usually, medicine along with lifestyle changes can control angina. If it's more severe, you may need surgery, too. Or you may need a stent, a tiny tube that props open arteries.

7 Ways to Help Prevent Heart Disease
Lots of things affect whether you get heart disease, and you control many of them. Little things you do every day can make a difference. 1. Unwind and connect. Cut out as much stress as possible. Find ways to ease the stress you can't avoid. Exercise, meditation, and talking to people you trust are three ideas to start with. 2. Work on your weight. Many Americans are overweight. Bringing your weight to a healthy level is a plus for your heart. 3. Upgrade your next meal. Favor fruits,...
Read the 7 Ways to Help Prevent Heart Disease article > >
The chest pain you feel with angina happens because there isn't enough blood flowing to part of your heart. It's a symptom of heart disease, and it's caused when something blocks the arteries that bring oxygen-rich blood to your heart.
Angina usually goes away quickly, but it can be a symptom of a life-threatening heart problem. Call your doctor if you have angina. It's important to find out what's going on and to talk about what you can do to avoid a heart attack in the future.
There are different types of angina:
Stable angina is the most common. Physical activity or stress can trigger it. It usually lasts a few minutes, and it goes away when you rest. It isn't a heart attack, but it's a sign that you're more likely to have one in the future. Tell your doctor if this happens to you.
Unstable angina. It happens while you're at rest or not very active. The pain can be strong and long lasting, and can come back again and again. It can be a signal that you're about to have a heart attack, so see a doctor right away.
Prinzmetal's angina (also called variant angina) is rare. It might happen at night during sleep or while at rest. The heart arteries suddenly tighten or narrow. It can cause a lot of pain, and you should get it treated.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The second scrimmage of the Tennessee spring season had everything Butch Jones could have asked for in simulating game-type conditions.
The surroundings of Neyland Stadium, a crowd in the stands and an occasional rain shower that gave the Vols an opportunity to run through situations in a variety of weather conditions.
A crowd of more than 300 gathered for "Family Day" and saw a scrimmage in Neyland that began in dry conditions that quickly turned wet.
"This is part of the growth and maturation of our football team and the ability to play in the elements," Jones said after the session that lasted a little under two hours. "We try to simulate throwing wet footballs by dunking them in a bucket, but you can never really simulate playing in the rain. I thought these were valuable reps in terms of taking handoffs and how you take care of the football; a tremendous teaching day."
It was particularly important for the four-way quarterback battle that continues to unfold on the practice field.
"It was a productive day. It was good to get out in the rain and work on ball security, throw in the rain and catch in the rain," said sophomore Joshua Dobbs, one of the four competing for the job. "It was a good day as a team and for me. It was a good day to grow, and it is always a good day to come out and play ball."
Senior Justin Worley also relished the experience of working in the elements, particularly with the newcomers on the offensive line.
"It's rough to play in the rain as a quarterback, but you have to push through it," Worley said. "Towards the end, center-to-quarterback exchanges weren't as crisp as we would have wanted them to be. It just comes with repetition. We had a couple of new guys in there. Ray Raulerson and Dylan Wiesman were in there, but we aren't comfortable with all three guys yet, but that just comes with reps."
Beyond the elements, the scrimmage focused on situational work for in-game moments. A missed check-down in an overtime situation provided Jones with another teaching moment, on ball security in a specific overtime scenario.
"Every play is a teaching opportunity with this young football team," Jones said. "A lot of times when you're correcting one individual, you're correcting the entire football team, that's what teachers do. It was a great teaching opportunity at that moment of time for our quarterback position."
"We need an individual who can take care of the football and understand situational football," Jones said.
With the starting quarterback position still open, Dobbs, Ferguson, Nate Peterman and Worley are continuing to accept the challenge that Jones has given them.
Saturday's scrimmage in Neyland Stadium marked the eighth spring practice and each quarterback is recognizing the improvements they are making not only individually but also as a whole.
"Today, we were more crisp," Dobbs said. "With it being the second scrimmage, we were more used to coming out and playing. It was great to play in front of our families today who came from all around the country. It was another great day for us."
The competition this spring has strengthened the quarterbacks' bond. While vying for the No. 1 spot, they are also coaching each other as well, on and off the field.
"I think we have each challenged each other," said Worley. "We have all taken strides, and we are progressing and getting better each practice."
Each individual is progressing and Jones isn't the only one taking notice.
"I'm really happy with Joshua," said Peterman. "He is really starting to pick it up and I'm impressed with the play-making ability that he has."
"I've really been pleased so far with the play of all four quarterbacks," said Jones. "I'm very encouraged. I think we have a great competitive battle going there and it's an illustration- when you have competition at positions, every individual, if they're a great competitor, they improve. All four of these individuals are improving each and every day."
While the battle at quarterback has dominated spring drills, Jones is looking for someone to step forward kicking the football for the Vols. With the graduated Michael Palardy watching from the stands, Jones liked what he saw from sophomore George Bullock in a few pressure-packed situations.
"It was great to see George come out and play winning football," Jones said. "The mark of any good kicker is consistency in performance. He made some long field goals in some pressure type situations today. He got great height on the football so it was great to see that."
»(On the defense handling the tempo)
"I thought we improved procedurally in terms of lining up fast. We are playing more like we want to on both sides of the football, but this is a line of scrimmage league, and you have to be able to stop the run. Overall, I wasn't pleased with our defensive front. We held some players out, and that was a great opportunity for some of our younger players to be able to develop. You learn through repetitions. Today was a great teaching opportunity. We will come back on Monday and correct for improvements through video study."
»(On quarterbacks showing maturity)
"Trust is earned over time, and they know I am going to always have their back. Every play is a teaching opportunity with this young football team. A lot of times when you are correcting one individual, you are correcting the entire football team. That is what teachers do. It was a great teaching opportunity."
»(On the running backs)
"I think that position group is really starting to come on. Marlin has been a warrior for us. He is playing with a cast. To have him back for game-speed reps was big for us today. Jalen Hurd continues to develop, and he needs as many reps as he can. Today was extremely productive for us."
»(On getting comfortable reading defenses)
"Yeah, I'm getting really comfortable reading defenses. That's the main thing I've been working on, looking at a lot of film work on a lot of coverages and stuff and I feel like I'm getting pretty good at it."
»(On improvements in turnovers since first scrimmage)
"I feel like overall today we did well taking care of the ball but when we got down to the red zone there were just some moves we made that weren't right now we just have to go watch it on film, learn from it and get better."
»(On today's scrimmage)
"I thought, offensively, we had one of our best days moving the ball and with some explosive plays. Jason Croom had a couple of touchdowns. Josh Malone had a touchdown. Jalen ran the ball well, and Marlin did too when he was in there. I thought we had a good day. We got moved down to the five-yard line and the offensive line moved the defensive line pretty well. I thought it was a good day overall."
»(On today' scrimmage)
"They're trying to get the younger guys more developed and let them get reps and get out there and perform. How you learn the most is just getting out there and playing, so that was a big key.
"I feel like we had a little more (energy) because we had people out here or something like that, but we're learning and getting better as a team. It was a good day."

The Swans of Fifth Avenue: A Novel by Melanie Benjamin
Of all the glamorous stars of New York high society, none blazes brighter than Babe Paley. Her flawless face regularly graces the pages of Vogue, and she is celebrated and adored for her ineffable style and exquisite taste, especially among her friends—the alluring socialite Swans Slim Keith, C. Z. Guest, Gloria Guinness, and Pamela Churchill. By all appearances, Babe has it all: money, beauty, glamour, jewels, influential friends, a prestigious husband, and gorgeous homes. But beneath this elegantly composed exterior dwells a passionate woman—a woman desperately longing for true love and connection.
Enter Truman Capote. This diminutive golden-haired genius with a larger-than-life personality explodes onto the scene, setting Babe and her circle of Swans aflutter. Through Babe, Truman gains an unlikely entrée into the enviable lives of Manhattan's elite, along with unparalleled access to the scandal and gossip of Babe's powerful circle. Sure of the loyalty of the man she calls "True Heart," Babe never imagines the destruction Truman will leave in his wake. But once a storyteller, always a storyteller—even when the stories aren't his to tell.
Truman's fame is at its peak when such notable celebrities as Frank and Mia Sinatra, Lauren Bacall, and Rose Kennedy converge on his glittering Black and White Ball. But all too soon, he'll ignite a literary scandal whose repercussions echo through the years. The Swans of Fifth Avenue will seduce and startle readers as it opens the door onto one of America's most sumptuous eras.

The Wolves (A John Wells Novel) by Alex Berenson
John Wells has just barely managed to stop an operation designed to drive the United States and Iran into war, but the instigator himself disappeared behind an impenetrable war of security. Now it's time for him to pay, and Wells has made it his personal mission. There are plenty of crosscurrents at work, though. The White House doesn't want anybody stirring the pot; his old CIA bosses have their own agendas; other countries are starting to sniff around, sensing something unusual. It is when Russia and China enter the mix, however, that the whole affair is set to combust. With alarming speed, Wells is once again on his own . . . and the wolves are closing in.
Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World by Adam Grant
With Give and Take, Adam Grant not only introduced a landmark new paradigm for success but also established himself as one of his generation's most compelling and provocative thought leaders. In Originals he again addresses the challenge of improving the world, but now from the perspective of becoming original: choosing to champion novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battle conformity, and buck outdated traditions. How can we originate new ideas, policies, and practices without risking it all?
Using surprising studies and stories spanning business, politics, sports, and entertainment, Grant explores how to recognize a good idea, speak up without getting silenced, build a coalition of allies, choose the right time to act, and manage fear and doubt; how parents and teachers can nurture originality in children; and how leaders can fight groupthink to build cultures that welcome dissent. Learn from an entrepreneur who pitches his start-ups by highlighting the reasons not to invest, a woman at Apple who challenged Steve Jobs from three levels below, an analyst who overturned the rule of secrecy at the CIA, a billionaire financial wizard who fires employees for failing to criticize him, and a TV executive who didn't even work in comedy but saved Seinfeld from the cutting-room floor. The payoff is a set of groundbreaking insights about rejecting conformity and improving the status quo.
Breakdown: An Alex Delaware Novel by Jonathan Kellerman
Jonathan Kellerman has been universally hailed as the master of psychological suspense, and the blockbuster new thriller featuring Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis confirms his status as today's preeminent practitioner of saber-sharp storytelling.
Psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware meets beautiful and emotionally fragile TV actress Zelda Chase when called upon to evaluate her five-year-old son, Ovid. Years later, Alex is unexpectedly reunited with Zelda when she is involuntarily committed after a bizarre psychotic episode. Shortly after Zelda's release, an already sad situation turns tragic when she is discovered dead on the grounds of a palatial Bel Air estate. Having experienced more than enough of L.A.'s dark side to recognize the scent of evil, Alex turns to his friend LAPD Lieutenant Milo Sturgis for help in finding out who ended Zelda's broken life.
In Other WordsAt the same time, Alex is caught up in another quest: the search for Zelda's missing son. And when other victims vanish from the same upscale neighborhood, worry turns to terror.
As Alex struggles to piece together the brief rise and steep fall of a gorgeous, talented actress, he and Milo unveil shattered dreams, the corruption of a family, and a grotesque betrayal of innocence. With each devastating revelation and damning clue, Alex's brilliant mind is challenged as never before—and his determination grows to see a killer caged and the truth set free.
In Other Words by Jhumpa Lahiri
In Other Words is a revelation. It is at heart a love story—of a long and sometimes difficult courtship, and a passion that verges on obsession: that of a writer for another language. For Jhumpa Lahiri, that love was for Italian, which first captivated and capsized her during a trip to Florence after college. Although Lahiri studied Italian for many years afterward, true mastery always eluded her.
Seeking full immersion, she decides to move to Rome with her family, for "a trial by fire, a sort of baptism" into a new language and world. There, she begins to read, and to write—initially in her journal—solely in Italian. In Other Words, an autobiographical work written in Italian, investigates the process of learning to express oneself in another language, and describes the journey of a writer seeking a new voice.
Presented in a dual-language format, this is a wholly original book about exile, linguistic and otherwise, written with an intensity and clarity not seen since Vladimir Nabokov: a startling act of self-reflection and a provocative exploration of belonging and reinvention.
On My Own by Diane Rehm
In a deeply personal and moving book, the beloved NPR radio host speaks out about the long drawn-out death (from Parkinson's) of her husband of fifty-four years, and of her struggle to reconstruct her life without him.
With John gone, Diane was indeed "on her own," coping with the inevitable practical issues and, more important, with the profoundly emotional ones. What to do, how to react, reaching out again into the world—struggling to create a new reality for herself while clinging to memories of the past. Her focus is on her own roller-coaster experiences, but she has also solicited the moving stories of such recently widowed friends as Roger Mudd and Susan Stamberg, which work to expose the reader to a remarkable range of reactions to the death of a spouse.
John's unnecessarily extended death—he begged to be helped to die—culminated in his taking matters into his own hands, simply refusing to take water, food, and medication. His heroic actions spurred Diane into becoming a kind of poster person for the "right to die" movement that is all too slowly taking shape in our country. With the brave determination that has characterized her whole life, she is finding a meaningful new way to contribute to the world.
Her book—as practical as it is inspiring—will be a help and a comfort to the recently bereaved, and a beacon of hope about the possibilities that remain to us as we deal with our own approaching mortality
Brotherhood in Death by J. D. Robb
Sometimes brotherhood can be another word for conspiracy. . . .
Dennis Mira just had two unpleasant surprises. First he learned that his cousin Edward was secretly meeting with a real estate agent about their late grandfather's magnificent West Village brownstone, despite the promise they both made to keep it in the family. Then, when he went to the house to confront Edward about it, he got a blunt object to the back of the head.
Luckily Dennis is married to Charlotte Mira, the NYPSD's top profiler and a good friend of Lieutenant Eve Dallas. When the two arrive on the scene, he explains that the last thing he saw was Edward in a chair, bruised and bloody. When he came to, his cousin was gone. With the mess cleaned up and the security disks removed, there's nothing left behind but a few traces for forensics to analyze.
As a former lawyer, judge, and senator, Edward Mira mingled with the elite and crossed paths with criminals, making enemies on a regular basis. Like so many politicians, he also made some very close friends behind closed—and locked—doors. But a badge and a billionaire husband can get you into places others can't go, and Eve intends to shine some light on the dirty deals and dark motives behind the disappearance of a powerful man, the family discord over a multimillion-dollar piece of real estate . . . and a new case that no one saw coming.

Cure: A Journey into the Science of Mind Over Body By Jo Marchant
A rigorous, skeptical, deeply reported look at the new science behind the mind's surprising ability to heal the body
Have you ever felt a surge of adrenaline after narrowly avoiding an accident? Salivated at the sight (or thought) of a sour lemon? Felt turned on just from hearing your partner's voice? If so, then you've experienced how dramatically the workings of your mind can affect your body.
Yet while we accept that stress or anxiety can damage our health, the idea of "healing thoughts" was long ago hijacked by New Age gurus and spiritual healers. Recently, however, serious scientists from a range of fields have been uncovering evidence that our thoughts, emotions and beliefs can ease pain, heal wounds, fend off infection and heart disease and even slow the progression of AIDS and some cancers.
In Cure, award-winning science writer Jo Marchant travels the world to meet the physicians, patients and researchers on the cutting edge of this new world of medicine. We learn how meditation protects against depression and dementia, how social connections increase life expectancy and how patients who feel cared for recover from surgery faster. We meet Iraq war veterans who are using a virtual arctic world to treat their burns and children whose ADHD is kept under control with half the normal dose of medication. We watch as a transplant patient uses the smell of lavender to calm his hostile immune system and an Olympic runner shaves vital seconds off his time through mind-power alone.
Drawing on the very latest research, Marchant explores the vast potential of the mind's ability to heal, lays out its limitations and explains how we can make use of the findings in our own lives. With clarity and compassion, Cure points the way towards a system of medicine that treats us not simply as bodies but as human beings.
The Only Game in Town: Central Banks, Instability, and Avoiding the Next Collapse by Mohamed A. El-Erian
Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, one of the world's most influential economic thinkers and the author of When Markets Collide, has written a roadmap to what lies ahead and the decisions we must make now to stave off the next global economic and financial crisis. Our current economic path is coming to an end. The signposts are all around us: sluggish growth, rising inequality, stubbornly high pockets of unemployment, and jittery financial markets, to name a few. Soon we will reach a fork in the road: One path leads to renewed growth, prosperity, and financial stability, the other to recession and market disorder.
In The Only Game in Town, El-Erian casts his gaze toward the future of the global economy and markets, outlining the choices we face both individually and collectively in an era of economic uncertainty and financial insecurity. Beginning with their response to the 2008 global crisis, El-Erian explains how and why our central banks became the critical policy actors—and, most important, why they cannot continue is this role alone. They saved the financial system from collapse in 2008 and a multiyear economic depression, but lack the tools to enable a return to high inclusive growth and durable financial stability. The time has come for a policy handoff, from a prolonged period of monetary policy experimentation to a strategy that better targets what ails economies and distorts the financial sector—before we stumble into another crisis.
The future, critically, is not predestined. It is up to us to decide where we will go from here as households, investors, companies, and governments. Using a mix of insights from economics, finance, and behavioral science, this book gives us the tools we need to properly understand this turning point, prepare for it, and come out of it stronger. A comprehensive, controversial look at the realities of our global economy and markets, The Only Game in Town is required reading for investors, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future.
NYPD Red 4 by James Patterson & Marshall Karp
NYPD Red chases a ruthless murderer with an uncontrollable lust for money–and blood.
It's another glamorous night in the heart of Manhattan: at a glitzy movie premiere, a gorgeous starlet, dressed to the nines and dripping in millions of dollars' worth of jewelry on loan, makes her way past a horde of fans and paparazzi. But then there's a sudden loud noise, an even louder scream, and a vicious crime with millions of witnesses and no suspect–and now NYPD Red has a new case on its hands.
NYPD Red: the elite task force assigned to protect the rich, famous, and connected in the city where crime never sleeps. Detective Zach Jordan and his partner, Kylie MacDonald–a former girlfriend from the police academy who he hasn't quite gotten over–are the best that Red has to offer, brilliant and tireless investigators who will stop at nothing to crack a case, even if it means putting their own complicated lives on the back burner.
From celebrity penthouses to the depths of Manhattan's criminal underworld, Zach and Kylie are soon in hot pursuit of a cold-blooded killer with everything to lose, and millions to gain if he can just shake the detectives on his trail. With the city on edge, the mayor out of patience, and the flames of their personal relationship threatening to reignite and ruin everything, Zach and Kylie are facing down their worst fears–and their worst enemy yet.
The Bands of Mourning: A Mistborn Novel by Brandon Sanderson
With The Alloy of Law and Shadows of Self, Brandon Sanderson surprised readers with a New York Times bestselling spinoff of his Mistborn books, set after the action of the trilogy, in a period corresponding to late 19th-century America.
Now, with The Bands of Mourning, Sanderson continues the story. The Bands of Mourning are the mythical metalminds owned by the Lord Ruler, said to grant anyone who wears them the powers that the Lord Ruler had at his command. Hardly anyone thinks they really exist. A kandra researcher has returned to Elendel with images that seem to depict the Bands, as well as writings in a language that no one can read. Waxillium Ladrian is recruited to travel south to the city of New Seran to investigate. Along the way he discovers hints that point to the true goals of his uncle Edwarn and the shadowy organization known as The Set.
Why the Right Went Wrong: ConservatismFrom Goldwater to the Tea Party and Beyond by E. J. Dionne, Jr.
From one of our most engaging political reporters and the author of Why Americans Hate Politics; the story of conservatism from the Goldwater 1960s to the present day Tea Party that has resulted in broken promises and an ideological purity that drives moderate Republicans away.
Why the Right Went Wrong offers a historical view of the right since the 1960s. Its core contention is that American conservatism and the Republican Party took a wrong turn when they adopted Barry Goldwater's worldview during and after the 1964 campaign. The radicalism of today's conservatism is not the product of the Tea Party, Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne writes. The Tea Partiers are the true heirs to Goldwater ideology. The purity movement did more than drive moderates out of the Republican Party—it beat back alternative definitions of conservatism.
Since 1968, no conservative administration—not Nixon not Reagan not two Bushes—could live up to the rhetoric rooted in the Goldwater movement that began to reshape American politics fifty years ago. The collapse of the Nixon presidency led to the rise of Ronald Reagan, the defeat of George H.W. Bush, to Newt Gingrich's revolution. Bush initially undertook a partial modernization, preaching "compassionate conservatism" and a "Fourth Way" to Clinton's "Third Way." Conservatives quickly defined him as an advocate of "big government" and not conservative enough on spending, immigration, education, and Medicare. A return to the true faith was the only prescription on order. The result was the Tea Party, which Dionne says, was as much a reaction to Bush as to Obama.
The state of the Republican party, controlled by the strictest base, is diminished, Dionne writes. It has become white and older in a country that is no longer that. It needs to come back to life for its own health and that of the country's, and in Why the Right Went Wrong, he explains how
Gratitude by Oliver Sacks
My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved. I have been given much and I have given something in return. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure."
—Oliver Sacks
No writer has succeeded in capturing the medical and human drama of illness as honestly and as eloquently as Oliver Sacks.
During the last few months of his life, he wrote a set of essays in which he movingly explored his feelings about completing a life and coming to terms with his own death.
"It is the fate of every human being," Sacks writes, "to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death."
Together, these four essays form an ode to the uniqueness of each human being and to gratitude for the gift of life.
Scandalous Behavior (A Stone Barrington Novel) by Stuart Woods
After a series of nonstop adventures, Stone Barrington is eager for some peace and quiet in a rustic British setting. But no sooner does he land in England than he's beset by an outrageous demand from a beautiful lady, and an offer he can't refuse.
Unfortunately, Stone quickly learns that his new acquisition comes with some undesired strings attached—namely, a deadly mystery involving the complex relationships of the local gentry, and a relentless adversary who raises the stakes with every encounter. Stone's restful country vacation is looking like yet another troublesome situation, but with his tireless aplomb—and the help of a few friends—he is more than up to the challenge

The Road to Little Dribbling: Adventures of an American in Britain by Bill Bryson
Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to discover and celebrate that green and pleasant land. The result was Notes from a Small Island, a true classic and one of the bestselling travel books ever written. Now he has traveled about Britain again, by bus and train and rental car and on foot, to see what has changed—and what hasn't.
Following (but not too closely) a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis in the south to Cape Wrath in the north, by way of places few travelers ever get to at all, Bryson rediscovers the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly singular country that he both celebrates and, when called for, twits. With his matchless instinct for the funniest and quirkiest and his unerring eye for the idiotic, the bewildering, the appealing, and the ridiculous, he offers acute and perceptive insights into all that is best and worst about Britain today.
Nothing is more entertaining than Bill Bryson on the road—and on a tear. The Road to Little Dribbling reaffirms his stature as a master of the travel narrative—and a really, really funny guy.
Warriors of the Storm: A Novel (Saxon Tales) Bernard Cornwell
The ninth installment of Bernard Cornwell's bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, "like Game of Thrones, but real" (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit BBC America television series.
A fragile peace reigns in Wessex, Mercia and East Anglia. King Alfred's son Edward and formidable daughter, Aethelflaed, rule the kingdoms. But all around the restless Northmen, eyeing the rich lands and wealthy churches, are mounting raids.
Uhtred of Bebbanburg, the kingdoms' greatest warrior, controls northern Mercia from the strongly fortified city of Chester. But forces are gathering against him. Northmen allied to the Irish, led by the fierce warrior Ragnall Ivarson, are soon joined by the Northumbrians, and their strength could prove overwhelming. Despite the gathering threat, both Edward and Aethelflaed are reluctant to move out of the safety of their fortifications. But with Uhtred's own daughter married to Ivarson's brother, who can be trusted?
In the struggle between family and loyalty, between personal ambition and political commitment, there will be no easy path. But a man with a warrior's courage may be able to find it. Such a man is Uhtred, and this may be his finest hour.
Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right by Jane Mayer
Why is America living in an age of profound economic inequality? Why, despite the desperate need to address climate change, have even modest environmental efforts been defeated again and again? Why have protections for employees been decimated? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers?
The conventional answer is that a popular uprising against "big government" led to the ascendancy of a broad-based conservative movement. But as Jane Mayer shows in this powerful, meticulously reported history, a network of exceedingly wealthy people with extreme libertarian views bankrolled a systematic, step-by-step plan to fundamentally alter the American political system.
The network has brought together some of the richest people on the planet. Their core beliefs—that taxes are a form of tyranny; that government oversight of business is an assault on freedom—are sincerely held. But these beliefs also advance their personal and corporate interests: Many of their companies have run afoul of federal pollution, worker safety, securities, and tax laws.
The chief figures in the network are Charles and David Koch, whose father made his fortune in part by building oil refineries in Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Germany. The patriarch later was a founding member of the John Birch Society, whose politics were so radical it believed Dwight Eisenhower was a communist. The brothers were schooled in a political philosophy that asserted the only role of government is to provide security and to enforce property rights.
When libertarian ideas proved decidedly unpopular with voters, the Koch brothers and their allies chose another path. If they pooled their vast resources, they could fund an interlocking array of organizations that could work in tandem to influence and ultimately control academic institutions, think tanks, the courts, statehouses, Congress, and, they hoped, the presidency. Richard Mellon Scaife, the mercurial heir to banking and oil fortunes, had the brilliant insight that most of their political activities could be written off as tax-deductible "philanthropy."
These organizations were given innocuous names such as Americans for Prosperity. Funding sources were hidden whenever possible. This process reached its apotheosis with the allegedly populist Tea Party movement, abetted mightily by the Citizens United decision—a case conceived of by legal advocates funded by the network.
The political operatives the network employs are disciplined, smart, and at times ruthless. Mayer documents instances in which people affiliated with these groups hired private detectives to impugn whistle-blowers, journalists, and even government investigators. And their efforts have been remarkably successful. Libertarian views on taxes and regulation, once far outside the mainstream and still rejected by most Americans, are ascendant in the majority of state governments, the Supreme Court, and Congress. Meaningful environmental, labor, finance, and tax reforms have been stymied.
Jane Mayer spent five years conducting hundreds of interviews-including with several sources within the network-and scoured public records, private papers, and court proceedings in reporting this book. In a taut and utterly convincing narrative, she traces the byzantine trail of the billions of dollars spent by the network and provides vivid portraits of the colorful figures behind the new American oligarchy.
Dark Money is a book that must be read by anyone who cares about the future of American democracy.
Feverborn: A Fever Novel by Karen Marie Moning
In Karen Marie Moning's latest installment of the epic Fever series, Mac, Barrons, Ryodan, and Jada are back—and the stakes have never been higher or the chemistry hotter. Hurtling us into a realm of labyrinthine intrigue and consummate seduction, Feverborn is a riveting tale of ancient evil, lust, betrayal, forgiveness, and the redemptive power of love.
When the immortal Fae destroyed the ancient wall dividing the worlds of Man and Faery, the very fabric of the universe was damaged, and now Earth is vanishing bit by bit. Only the long-lost Song of Making—a haunting, dangerous melody that is the source of life itself—can save the planet.
But those who seek the mythic song must contend with old wounds and new enemies, passions that burn hot and hunger for vengeance that runs deep. The challenges are many: the Keltar at war with nine immortals who've secretly ruled Dublin for eons, Mac and Jada hunted by the masses, the Seelie queen nowhere to be found, and the most powerful Unseelie prince in all creation determined to rule both Fae and Man. Now the task of solving the ancient riddle of the Song of Making falls to a band of deadly warriors divided among—and within—themselves.
Once a normal city possessing a touch of ancient magic, Dublin is now a treacherously magical city with only a touch of normal. And on those war-torn streets, Mac will come face-to-face with her most savage enemy yet: herself.
Blue: A Novel by Danielle Steel
Ginny Carter was once a rising star in TV news, married to a top anchorman, with a three-year-old son and a full and happy life in Beverly Hills—until her whole world dissolved in a single instant on the freeway two days before Christmas. In the aftermath, she pieces her life back together and tries to find meaning in her existence as a human rights worker in the worst areas around the globe.
Then, on the anniversary of the fateful accident—and wrestling with the lure of death herself—she meets a boy who will cause her life to change forever yet again. Thirteen-year-old Blue Williams has been living on the streets, abandoned by his family, rarely attending school, and utterly alone. Following her instincts, Ginny reaches out to him. Leery of everyone, he runs from her again and again. But he always returns, and each time, their friendship grows.
Blue glows with outsized spirit and an irresistible mix of innocence and wisdom beyond his years. Ginny offers him respect as they form an unusual bond and become the family they each lost. But just as Blue is truly beginning to trust her, she learns of a shocking betrayal that he has been hiding. Is it a wound too deep to heal, or will she be able to fight the battle that will make them both whole again?
