Born Claude Russell Bridges of Lawton, OK, few would know that a child born during WWII and the baby boom would eventually became a living folk rock and country legend. Leon Russell first began his career as a keyboardist and session musician at the age of 14 with a group called The Starlighters. While it was rare at one time to see Leon Russell tickets on sale for solo performances, Russell has played with such big names as George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Eric Clapton, The Byrds, Willie Nelson, The Beach Boys, Sinatra and The Rolling Stones.
In his earlier years, Leon Russell stationed himself in Los Angeles, Ca where he studioed guitar with James Burton who has worked with Elvis Presley, Rickey Nelson, Emmylou Harris and John Denver. While Leon Russell tickets rarely went on sale during this time, Russeell found success with his own songwriting contributing the albums of Joe Cocker and Gary Lewis and the Playboys linking to the famous, and infamous, Phil Spector. Finally, the world would receive a taste of the musical wonder during Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishman Tour which featured Leon Russell tickets in addition to such top names as Bonnie Branlet, Rita Collidge and more.

A special meeting of the Choctaw Tribal Council has been called for Tuesday to discuss the issue of the overturning of the results of the June 14 tribal chief's race, among other things.
The tribal council voted to throw out the results of the recent chief's race, won by Phyliss Anderson in a runoff July 5 with incumbent Beasley Denson, because of perceived voting irregularities.
Council officials say a vote could be taken to put those results back in place.

I held out much hope for the Mount Pleasant Rosehill Shiraz 2004 after the overripe and tarry number from the previous year. Sadly I cannot help but feel that once again, you would be better off with a $12 Philip Shiraz instead.
This particular bottle was a replacement for its older and sadly corked brother from the 2002 vintage. Unfortunately the good customer service from Rosemount cannot make up for the contents of the Show Reserve Shiraz 2004.
Just after Christmas Gemma and I inexplicably found ourselves at the Boutique Wine Center inquiring after any new releases. Although there was nothing released in the previous two months, we were lucky enough to taste some unreleased 2007 reds from Meerea Park (all of which look superb), including the Meerea Park Shiraz Viognier 2007 which is available as of today.
Ernest Hill are a boutique producer from the Hunter Valley. They make several Shiraz wines that typically sell out rather quickly via their mailing list, however they also have some good quality aromatic whites and a range of dessert wines. On the white front today we have the Ernest Hill "Rosalie Joan" Verdelho 2008.

On the white front today we have the Ernest Hill "Rosalie Joan" Verdelho 2008.
I initially became aware of Lazy Ballerina a couple of years ago with the release of the 2005 vintage, the current 2007 release has received high praise from many critics.
Following swiftly on the heels of the very good 2006 vintage is the Meerea Park Shiraz 2007, a blend of 60% Hilltops and 40% Hunter Valley Shiraz.
Please enjoy this somewhat wine related comic: http://www.explosm.net/comics/1467/
The Mountain X Hunter Shiraz 2006 is the inaugural release and the brain child of Gary Walsh and Campbell Mattison of The Wine Front fame. It is a blend of approx 95% Hunter Shiraz (good start) and 5% Yarra Pinot - a throwback to a traditional blend of yesteryear. The winemakers are Rhys Eather (Meerea Park) and Franco d'Anna (Hoddles Creek) respectively.
Tahbilk have being making wine down in central victoria since... well basically the dawn of time. I have no idea why it has taken so long for us to review what is one of the great bargains of the Australian wine world: Tahbilk Cabernet Sauvignon 2004.
Released from the shackles of winter we are now free to enjoy a nice chilled glass of Rosé in the sun, and what better way to kick off the new releases than with the Turkey Flat Rosé 2008.
Meerea Park have been through a (pardon the pun) purple patch recently, especially with their red wines. The 2003, 2004 and 2005 vintages were very good to exceptional and the 2006 vintage of "The Aunts" Shiraz is no exception. There is one big difference this year, your favorite Aunts now come dressed in a red frock.
For some reason it has taken me around three years to even try a Cabernet based wine from Margaret River, I will atone for my sins and swiftly include several of these wines in my cellar, starting with the Sandalford Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2005.
Recently I opened a bottle of Rosemount Estate Show Reserve Shiraz 2002 which was sadly corked. The next day I followed this up with the producer via their website, which led me up submit my request about replacement of corked wine via their online email form. Flash forward a couple of weeks and I realised [...]

News: First Half Deficit Too Much For PCC Football
Citrus College put the Pasadena City College football team in a large hole Saturday in taking a 24-0 halftime lead. The Lancers found their offensive rhythm in the second half, but it wasn't enough in a 34-21, season-opening loss in front of an estimated 1,000-plus fans at Robinson Stadium.
Citrus quarterback Larry Cutbirth was too hard to contain for the Lancers in an all Owls' first quarter. Cutbirth passed for touchdowns of 9 yards to Brayton Newton and 15 yards to Justin Williams and added a 61-yard TD option play. His 236 total offensive yards proved to be more than PCC's entire offensive output of 222 yards.
PCC freshman quarterback Darrian Cazarin overcame a slow start and delivered TD passes of 13 yards to Jake Holguin in the third quarter and 21 yards to Reggie Williams in the fourth period. Cazarin, who completed 24 of 40 attempts for 206 yards, added a 5-yard scoring run with 18 seconds left in the game.
While the Lancers' defense shut down Citrus in the second half, the special teams allowed a 72-yard TD punt return to Citrus' Justin Martin late in the third quarter.
PCC's rushing game was limited to just 16 net yards in 33 attempts. Cazarin was sacked seven times by Citrus.
Cazarin completed passes to nine different Lancers receivers, including six for only 20 yards to J. Turner Jackson. Williams made four receptions for 52 yards and Guy Johnson added four catches for 45. PCC lacked big plays with a 28-yard pass from Cazarin to Holguin being the longest.
PCC punter Kitlo Meme had a busy evening with eight punts for a 38.1 yards average.
On defense, sophomore linebacker Javon McElroy-Bradford made six tackles and forced a fumble. All-National Northern Conference returner and lineman Dalyou Pierson added six tackles, including a sack, while sophomore lineman Jonathan White chipped in six tackles. Frosh defensive back Dashon Wade was the secondary's most productive player on five tackles, a recovered fumble, and one pass break-up.
The Lancers unveiled new home cardinal and gold uniforms and head coach Fred Fimbres presented an old-school look in wearing a white short-sleeve button down dress shirt and a tie.
Next Saturday, Sept. 14, PCC visits Orange Coast College in a 7 p.m. kickoff at LeBard Stadium.

I have been reviewing international phone options the past few days due to increased travels from the US to Germany and Asia. In the past we have paid Verizon for global roaming or rented their BB global devices. Looking at offers in some of the visited locations, it appears that US carriers are intentionally crippling international capabilities. Additionally, with Verizon (company plan, though I personally use the iPhone) we are CDMA device bound.
I am investigating the purchase of a few unlocked quad band gsm smart phones for our frequent travelers. The holdup at the moment is the ability to acquire pre-paid SIM cards for the different destinations. I have a solution for India, but have encountered some difficulty in finding a solution for Germany that will enable both voice and data (primarily for e-mail) so that the travelers can have their Zimbra mobile syncing wherever they go.
Any advice from users in the far reaches of the world?

Bangkok's port operations remain on flood alert
October 27, 2011
Container handling at Bangkok's seaport has so far not been affected by the storm that has hit the Thai capital, although the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT) is taking preventive action against the possibility of flash floods in the port area.
According the Paris-based consultancy, Alphaliner, the threat of floods remains, however, as the Chao Phraya river overflows parts of its banks and rises to its highest
level in seven years.
"The flooding is expected to subside only by next month," said Stephen Fletcher, Alphaliner's commercial director. "The highest water levels at Bangkok are currently expected by the end of the month."
As of last week, only some flooding was reported at conventional wharf 22A (the lowest area in PAT) in Bangkok while normal container operations at the port were maintained.
However, some carriers have already started to issue warnings to their customers, with a number of them advising shippers not to return laden export containers to Bangkok due to potential damage from flooding. They also warn that operations could be temporarily suspended and cargo may miss its intended sailings.
"Shippers have been advised to return the laden containers to Laem Chabang located further south and not immediately affected by the floods that are currently afflicting Bangkok," said Fletcher.
Meanwhile, Alphaliner is reporting that a number of vessels will "skip" Bangkok calls from until November, with cargo delivery shifted to Laem Chabang.
"The floods has severely disrupted industrial production at several major industrial areas around Bangkok and would affect overall cargo volumes in the coming weeks," analysts said.
Bangkok currently handles 120,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) per month. Last year, Bangkok port handled 1.50 million TEUs compared to 5.19 million TEUs handled at Laem Chabang.

Testimony :: Dr. Allison Blakely
- Boston University
The history of Blacks in modern Europe is converging with the present situation that finds an unprecedented level of Blacks in Europe proper. The size and significance of this Black presence (see map) are not yet widely recognized by scholars or the general public. In fact, it has recently been overshadowed by manifestations there of the new clash between the West and Islam. While Blacks in Europe themselves are only beginning to sense a degree of group identity – and this largely forced upon them by the shared experience of discrimination and racism - the black population in Europe has finally achieved a size and visibility that invites comparison with the involuntary definition of community that shaped the concept of Afro-America among the descendants of enslaved Africans in North America.
For centuries millions of peoples of Black African descent were subjected to domination by the leading European societies in their colonies and former colonies abroad. In those settings there was a clearly understood hierarchy of wealth, power, and skin color; any Black presence in Europe was severely restricted; and European societies could pretend that those peoples were not part of their world. History is now converging with the present in that largely economic motivations are compelling the Europeans to allow into their midst populations earlier defined and treated as inferiors, and challenging what were supposed to be democratic societies offering equal opportunity to all for advancement.
As a result, in all of the societies that are most affected issues surrounding poverty and social exclusion are becoming apparent. The past few years have witnessed manifestations of the potential this fosters for social turmoil. One example from the eastern edge of Europe is the documentation of hundreds of incidents of violence against Blacks in Russia over the past decade, including several hundred murders. Especially troubling is that the only constructive governmental response there has been to silence the press through intimidation so that such incidents are no longer reported to the public at home or abroad.
Meanwhile, on Europe's western edge, the ethnically charged protests that spread to 300 cities in France in late October and early November, 2005 featuring deadly violence and thousands of burning automobiles, easily evoked scenes from the major urban riots in the United States in the 1960s, or in Europe, the disturbances in 1981 in London's Brixton district. These were followed a few months later by much larger disturbances in Liverpool's Toxteth district. The British government inquiry into the causes of the Brixton disturbance conducted by Lord Leslie Scarman in November of 1981 addressed underlying causes that were reminiscent of the 1968 Kerner Commisssion Report on conditions in the United States. The Kerner Commission Report attributed the American riots to the failures of American society to integrate African-American rural-to-urban migrants and their descendants, which were reflected by high unemployment, abusive police practices, substandard housing, inadequate education, poor recreation facilities and programs, and inadequate response from established institutions. Now, a few decades later, a survey of reports emerging from several European countries read like excerpts from the Kerner and Scarman inquiries. In the same vein, attorneys for the families of the two teenagers killed in the 2005 violence in France filed a complaint with the courts charging what amounted to racial profiling and police negligence strikingly reminiscent of perennial complaints of police misconduct all-too-familiar in the United States' inner-cities. While much of the world was more surprised to learn of France's clusters of suburban (banlieue) poor than it was of those abandoned in New Orleans during hurricane Katrina earlier in 2005, such ghetto-like settlements of ethnic and religious immigrants in Europe are not unique to France.
Racial thought and racist stereotypes are playing an especially prominent role in this scenario. For example, it is estimated that about 30% of the African ethnic and religious minorities involved in the disorders in France were black. Thus one major development to watch in the near future concerns the question of a Black identity in Europe. For example, is there taking shape a blanket "Black" identity that is applied to all people of predominantly Black African descent, regardless of their place of origin, and regardless of their own self-identification? For centuries peoples of Black African descent have struggled to escape the designation of "Black" originally imposed upon them in the course of European imperialism and colonialism.
They wanted instead to retain the identities of their respective native cultures, or to simply be accepted as full human beings with equal respect in whatever culture they found themselves. However, it is not clear whether even now in the twenty-first century this has become a reality. Despite the fact that a Black woman, Baroness Valerie Amos, originally from Guyana, has served as leader of the House of Lords in England, and Christiane Taubira from French Guiana drew some 2.3% of the vote in the 2002 Presidential election in France, star black soccer players in Europe still endure having bananas and racial epithets hurled at them on the field; and a study in England in late 2007 found that Blacks are 7 times more likely to be stopped by the police than whites.
The main reasons the image and status of Blacks continue to suffer seem to be economic. Just as the lure of profit from the slave trade, slavery, and maintaining a cheap labor force made it advantageous to define Black Africans into an artificial racial category, the profits from popular racial stereotypes in such areas as the advertising industry, entertainment, and sports have served to perpetuate color bias. The following questions merit much further research and discussion:
• Are old stereotypes of Blacks still relevant today?
• Are people of Black African descent in Europe considered Europeans, Africans, or simply Black?
• How do people of Black African descent in Europe self-identify?
• What is the most likely outcome of the identity of Blacks in Europe?
One encouraging sign that responsible elements in European societies are aware of the seriousness of this problem is that both national and European Union human rights organizations are forming as are civil rights and black consciousness groups. It is also worth noting here that some leaders in Europe are looking to the civil rights history of the United States for guidance. For instance, the largest black consciousness organization in France, the Conseil représentatif des associations Noires de France [Representative Council of Black Associations in France - CRAN] is consciously modeled after the NAACP, and a Black History Month is celebrated in more than a dozen European countries. These efforts deserve as much support as possible, in order to promote peaceful integration of the new, multicultural Europe.

The Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report (APTIR) is a publication prepared by the Trade and Investment Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. It provides information on and independent analyses of regional trends and developments in trade and investment; emerging issues in trade, investment and trade facilitation policies; and impacts of these policies on countries' abilities to meet the challenges of achieving inclusive and sustainable development.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.
High food prices have put increasing inflationary pressures across the Asia-Pacific region and threatened food security. Bad weather in important food-producing countries and speculation in commodity markets have affected global food supplies and added volatility to booming commodity markets that have been fueled in the long-term by increasing global demand. High food prices have threatened to slowdown economic growth, poverty reduction and inclusive sustainable development throughout the region.
Asia-Pacific MDGs reports have been produced since 2004 by the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific / Asian Development Bank / United Nations Development Programme regional partnership to support the achievements of the MDGs.
There is ample evidence that successful implementation of bilateral or regional trade and economic integration initiatives would have a very significant impact on intraregional trade in Asia and the Pacific. However, little is known about the level of intraregional trade costs in the region and to what extent these costs may have decreased over time. This paper introduces new aggregate and sectoral estimates of bilateral trade costs in Asia and the Pacific available in an updated and extended version of the ESCAP Trade Cost Database (Version 2).
The Low Carbon Green Growth Roadmap for Asia and the Pacific explores the opportunities that a low carbon green growth path offers to the region. It articulates five tracks on which to drive the economic system change necessary to pursue low carbon green growth as a new economic development path.
Fifty one case studies and eight policy papers that were developed as associated products of ESCAP's Low Carbon Green Growth Roadmap for the Asia and the Pacific. The Roadmap may be accessed from this link: http://www.unescap.org/resources/low-carbon-green-growth-roadmap-asia-an....
While regional countries are driving the global "green growth" agenda, policymakers are facing a new economic reality and heightened uncertainty. The challenge of eco-efficient economic growth and inclusive resource use is critical and growing in several countries. Fundamental, rather than incremental changes are needed - Governments must therefore take the lead in re-orienting both the "visible" and the "invisible" economic infrastructure. At the same time the implications of heightened uncertainty and risk for policymaking requires more attention.
The Single Window Planning and Implementation Guide contains managerial guidelines for policy managers, policymakers and those who are tasked to plan and manage the information technology-enabled Single Window development projects for simplifying cross-border trade procedures and document requirements within developing economies and transition economies.
Managing climate change caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has been recognized as one of the world's greatest challenges in current times, in particular in Asia and the Pacific which accounts for most of the world's GHG emissions. Without urgent action to curb such emissions, climate change will be more severe resulting in larger global temperature rises.

I saw the match and im ashamed because i really thought Rafa would lose... but he is soooooooooooooooo MAGIC!!! EXTRAORDINARY!ReplyDelete
Sam, don't be ashamed. A lot of people make that mistake, including Nalbandian. This was an instant classic as it is demonstrative of "mental strength" really means.ReplyDelete
Absolutely right, Pam. Never, EVER think Rafael Nadal can't do the impossible. As if I needed another reason to love him, he goes and saves FIVE match points and wins the third set at love! This was SO worth staying up until 5 AM! This is how demons should be conquered. Vamos Rafa! And have a wonderful weekend, Rich!ReplyDelete

One of the most brilliant comebacks I've seen. Vamos Rafa!!!!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 20, 2009 at 11:55 AM
Those morons blathering about Nalbandian choking should watch and rewatch this video.ReplyDelete
On all 5 match points that Nalby had he made absolutely not one mistake - all were won by Rafa. The first by 1-2 serve & FH. The second and third by unreturnable body serves. The fourth by a winner painting the line. The fifth by a winner into the open court.
So, there was no choking there, only great Rafa play. And his even greater cool under pressure.
I think that a lot of the calls for Nalbandian 'choking' were on his own serve. In the later games of the second set one can probably count on one hand the number of first serves that Nalbadian placed inside the box. I believe, over the whole match, he served only about %50 on his first serve. I don't mean to take away from Nadal's iron balls as displayed above, but to highlight, not only Nadal inner strength, but the intimidation he places on his opponent. This is what has lifted him well above Federer in the last 16 months, and exactly what is read through the match stats of the recent AO final where Federer at nearly the same poor percentage as Nalbandian.ReplyDelete

We're proud to announce the acquisition of Bukmark.net, a social bookmarking platform with over 1.5 million bookmarks and a database with over 200k active users.
What does this mean?
Bukmark's current platform has become inefficient, as it's based on an old version of the Pligg system, which was designed to handle small social media and bookmarking websites. Bukmark has had very significant growth to over 1.5 million social bookmarks and more than a million user accounts and registrations.
The decision has been made to take down the current site, and immediately begin work on a new platform that will be more efficient. It will be correctly designed to handle medium sized social bookmarking websites and improve user experience in general. We have a lot of ideas in our heads; some based on current social media sites, and some are crazy and innovative. The final vision has not yet been solidified, but we will absolutely bring a new fresh look and a better experience to the Bukmark platform. The new platform will be based on a responsive design that will be compatible and improve user functions with both tablets and mobile devices.
When can we expect to see the new platform online?
Definitely a good question, but there is no clear answer yet. There is a lot of work to be done, but we can promise that we will do our best to kick-off the new site as soon as we're ready, hopefully within the next few months.
What does this mean to current Bukmark users?
After the new platform is launched, all current users will be notified by e-mail and will be given two options. Confirm your e-mail and Bukmark account; or opt-out and your account will be removed from our systems. If no confirmation or opt-out response is received, we will once again try to contact you in 7 days; if no action from the second try, your account will be removed from our systems.
Can I opt-out right now?
Sadly, it is not possible, but the users database will be staying offline, and we will not process any of your data during the update. All work in progress will be related only to the platform itself, including a new look and more efficient design. Once we're ready to launch the new version of the Bukmark social bookmarking platform, you will be notified. We will then process the final migration of the users database and at this point, that is when you will receive the e-mail with option choices to either confirm your membership, or have your data removed from our systems.
What more is there to say?
We hope nothing has been left out, and our intentions have been understood. Just know that we're working on it, and we will welcome all existing users within the new platform. As soon as we're ready for launch, you will be the first to know. Stay tuned!

One thing thats really bugging me is the number of times it misses gears... its almost like theres a neutral between each gear, which i regularly hit. Does anyone else find this? Am i using the wrong technique to change gears?
1. Do not upshift early - let the bike pick up speed and rpm for a while and then upshift. 2. Pull the clutch lever all the way in before shifting gear.3. With the clutch lever pulled in, upshift gear lever with foot but then keep the gear lever lifted up until after you have released the clutch lever.
I still miss them. I suck.

Born Marianne Raigipcien Jean-Baptiste on April 26, 1967 in London, England, she was the daughter of a construction worker and psychiatric nurse, from who she inherited her Antiguan and St. Lucian lineage. Determined to become a performer from an early age, Jean-Baptiste enrolled in London's prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art where she received her classical training and performed at the Royal National Theatre. While attending the Royal Academy, the ambitious student wrote and performed a one-woman show titled "Ave Africa" in 1991.

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Jonny Gomes raised his right arm rounding
first base. He pumped his fist, crossed his arms and thumped his chest.
He wasn't supposed to be in the Red Sox lineup, yet he delivered their biggest
Gomes cracked a three-run homer in the sixth inning Sunday night to break a
tie and lead Boston to a 4-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 4 of the
World Series.
The Red Sox tied the series at 2-2 after losing Game 3 Saturday night on the
first walk-off obstruction call in World Series history.
Gomes -- a late replacement when Shane Victorino was scratched from the lineup
because of lower back tightness -- homered into the Boston bullpen behind left
field off reliever Seth Maness, who had just entered for St. Louis starter
Lance Lynn.
It gave the Red Sox a 4-1 lead, backing four gutsy innings by starter Clay
Allen Craig, hobbled by an injured foot, hit a one-out single in the ninth off
Koji Uehara and Carlos Beltran came to the plate as the tying run with two
outs, but Uehara picked off pinch-runner Kolten Wong to end the game.
Game 5 of the best-of-seven series is Monday night in St. Louis.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBS/WUSA) -- After much controversy, millions of women can get contraception, like the morning-after pill, and other health care preventative services at no cost, according to Health and Human Services.
The Affordable Care Act requires most private insurance companies to offer 47 million women the following services without co-pays or deductibles.
The eight new prevention-related services are:
These benefits will accompany already free services for women in private plans and Medicare, such as mammograms, cholesterol screenings, and flu shots.
Most women won't get the free benefits until their insurance plans are renewed.
Certain religious organizations such as churches and schools are exempt.
David Finke, M.D., of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center told Teresa Garcia of CBS News that a sexually transmitted infection screening is a perfect example of how to catch a serious condition early.
"A lot of the time we can catch sexually transmitted infections before they turn into a major health problem," says Dr. Finke.

From biotech to best-sellers
You couldn't blame Douglas Richards if he has whiplash. He quit his job as a biotech executive in San Diego to pursue his dream of writing, went back to biotech when it seemed his dream had died, and then watched his self-published book "Wired" become a New York Times best-seller.
His new techno-thriller, "The Cure," is about a woman who witnesses a horrible crime as a child and grows up to study the brains of psychopaths, looking for a way to reverse their condition. She gets mixed up with people who aren't what they seem.
The book comes out Sept. 17. Richards, 51, who lives in Carmel Valley, will be at the Barnes & Noble there on Sept. 29 at noon.
Q: You have an extensive background in science. What drew you to that initially?
A: Really, science fiction. To be honest, the stuff I was learning in grade school, the minerals and the water cycle, kind of bored me a little bit. But the stuff I was reading in science fiction novels was really awesome and that inspired me.
Q: What were some of your favorites?
A: Boy, I read nothing but science fiction as a kid. I was a big fan of Isaac Asimov. He was kind of like the Michael Crichton of his day in the sense that he was a scientist who used accurate science in all of his books.
Q: Is it true you have a couple of mutant viruses named after you?
A: Yeah. They're named after my initials, but close enough. I did graduate work at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. It was in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and I had a project where I was making mutations in viruses. The work was published in the Journal of Virology before I moved on and got into the biotechnology industry.
Q: How did you make the leap from working in biotech to writing science fiction?
A: It started out with kids' books. I had kids of my own, and like I told you, my whole career trajectory was due to the great science fiction I had read. So I thought, I want to find books my kids can read that would do the same. There was a lot of great fantasy, Harry Potter and others, but I didn't find as many science fiction offerings for that middle-grade age range so I decided to try writing one. I wound up doing several.
Q: Then you made the leap to books for grown-ups and self-published "Wired." Tell me about that.
A: I had left biotech and the funds were starting to dwindle. I wrote the book, and editors at a couple of publishing houses were very interested, but I just missed with them. I shoved the book in a drawer and said, "It's not going to happen. Even though people seem to really like my work, I'm just not getting to where I need to go." In early 2011, I returned to biotech.
Three or four months in, I noticed e-books. I was late to that party. They were becoming big. I thought, the book is just gathering dust in my desk, I'll throw it online. It went viral. Four months later, it spent five weeks on The New York Times and USA Today best-seller lists.
It's funny how being able to say you are a New York Times best-selling author opens up doors. I got an agent and signed with Forge Books. They worked really hard to convince me that they believe I could be the next Michael Crichton. It's all very surreal to me.

Recipe makes the hit list
For some reason lately I have been in a baking mood. It seems like the last few weeks I have done nothing but bake and do dishes! Maybe it has been because it is winter and the kids are always eager to help in the kitchen. I thought this weekend I would try out this little snack recipe I found in an old Taste of Home I had stashed away. We all love cheese and who doesn't love finger food as well? I am certain this new recipe will be a hit on the list at our house.

so we renewed the Bush Tax Cuts again! Reality is very hard to comprehend so often we don't bother. Bush was bad, right? And yet the Bush tax cuts which were implemented by Bush during his term, resulted in turning back recession, but they had a short shelf life. They called for no tax increase to the middle class (consumers), tax breaks for people investing in business, hiring more workers, building inventory (buying) or investing in new technology. And it gave each taxpayer making under $100K a $600.00 rebate check. It put $20 billion in the retail market rightway, and was opposed by Dems who protested that it allowed only taxpayers to get the rebate check and not the 47% nonfunctioning people. And yet Obama has renewed that twice now and that is what kept the MIDDLE CLASS from being taxed harder. So Obama does the rich guy rant and people just chant like magpies, but Obama IS the rich guy, and left D.C. for his $7 million taxpayer vacation on Air Force One. Reality, wow.

Raise your hand if you have a snoozing problem with your alarm clock. This might just be the ticket.
It's called the Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock. You place the phone on your bed and the iPhone's internal sensors track your sleep cycle to wake you up in your lightest phase of sleep. That way, you don't feel groggy so no need to snooze. It also tracks your sleep all night long and shows you your sleep patterns. The app for the iPhone is 99 cents.
Jessica Doyle tried the app for a nap and for a night's sleep and had nothing but good things to report.

May 30, 2016
The Alamucha and Center Ridge volunteer fire departments in Lauderdale County were burglarized over the weekend. Both had most of their equipment, besides the trucks, stolen.
It's going to make firefighting difficult for them and they're looking for solutions.
County fire coordinator Allan Dover says Lauderdale County is trying to secure funding sources to replace the equipment that was stolen from both fire stations.
"Our main goal right now is to try and get this equipment back out there before we have a call where we need to have it, or where we are going to have to use it," Dover said.
Officials say if you have any information about the burglaries to contact the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department, or Crimestoppers at 601-485-1860.

Does anyone know of an easier way to roll the Outlook Connector out to users than having them run it? The major problem I'm running into for our students is they're attempting to run the msi file but are running into permissions problems writing a dll to a folder in the C:\Program Files\Common Files directory tree. I tried elevating the students to Power Users on those machines but still no luck, and I'd really rather not make students Administrators on our lab machines.
Has anyone found a better way to handle this?

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20-30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
1 Box yellow cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)
1 Small box instant vanilla pudding
1/4 Cup water
3/4 Cup vegetable oil
2 Eggs
1 Cup chocolate chips. I used 1/2 cup holiday mini M&M's and 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cake mix, pudding, water, vegetable oil, eggs and chips or M&M's in large bowl.
Pour the batter (it's going to be thick) into a greased 10x13 baking dish. I sprayed my dish with nonstick cooking spray which worked well.
Bake your bars for 20-30 minutes (I took mine out at 25.)
It may look sort of raw in the middle but if the edges are just golden and starting to get crispy, it's probably perfect.

Very nice. I love it!
I'm a great sci-fi fan, and I like especially the books from British sci-fi novelist Peter F. Hamilton. In his latest trilogy (the Void Trilogy) - a masterpiece of sci-fi in my opinion -a great part of the story happens in a city called Makkathran.
On his website, Mr. Hamilton has a simple map of the city. But I felt this story needs a new and more elaborate map. So I asked Mr. Hamilton's agent a few weeks ago for permission to make a new map. Gladly I received this permission.
I made the map in style which I think fits the technological stage of its inhabitants which is similar to the Renaissance. Important sites of the story are done as 'hand-drawn' additions.
The map is mostly completed apart from a scale. I finished the last book nearly a year ago and can't remember exactly how large the city is; at least some kilometers in diameter. So if anyone has an idea I would be thankful. As a last resort I could create a fictional 'Makkathran mile'.
C&C is welcomed.
Last edited by Sapiento; 12-08-2011 at 01:54 AM. Reason: Corrected the name of the city
Very nice. I love it!
It looks nice, but maybe the map is a bit short on squares and open spaces? Also, I do recall the books quite well but don't recall the size of the city.
Was it Makkrathan or Makkathran tho'?
I added some forests on the western side of the city and corrected the title.
Btw, could one of our CLs be so nice to change thread title into Makkathran.
The phrase "Done by" seems a bit vague and crude compared to the rest of the map. Maybe "Prepared by" would work better?
I think that maps are "Created by the Cartographers' Guild".
[EDIT: corrected per the grammar nazi.]
... but in my defense, the spelling was a typo (old keyboard) and the quotations could be single or double (see Oxford guide to writing) - the ('s) that should have been (s') was 100% my bad ... I should have known better than that.
... So it was a one-man guild that draws carts.
Last edited by atpollard; 12-08-2011 at 12:18 PM.
In that case, to be a grammar nazi, it should be "Created by the Cartographers' Guild" - unless you really mean a guild consisting of just one guy that draws cats.
I changed the label as suggested.
Given your rep (and professional artist status) I am going to be harsher than I normally would, so let me preface my criticisms with an acknowledgment that it is a really good map that I think has the potential to be a great work of art.
The hatching (diagonal across the buildings and horizontal on the main roads) just doesn't do it for me - the background parchment and base line work seem better than that. Unless you have a specific map that you are copying in mind, the Renaissance is more about art than technical drafting. Yes, there should be the technical line work like the building outlines and compass, but that should be only the starting point. Specifically, I suggest something closer to a watercolor embellishment of the buildings than a simple hatch. Perhaps a transparent Grey (or color tinted layer) as a solid hatch over the buildings - with some sort of cloud texture to create the lighter and darker patches common in watercolor.
Since the side streets are defined by their light color, the main streets should lose the horizontal hatch completely and just let their slightly darker background define them.
The city wall should be solid black or a near-black dark Grey.
The woods dot texture doesn't work - it looks more early 20th century zip-tone than Renaissance. I suggest some small hand drawn texture or some small gaps in the canopy and a light watercolor-like shading.
Another small nit, but the woods should stop at the inner line of the border, that's what it is there for. Same with the roads and buildings to the top and bottom, and the top and bottom edge of the water/coast hatch.
As far as the water's edge goes, it is absolutely perfect, don't change it one bit (except to stop it at the border).
So that's my 2 cents worth ... you did say that C & C was welcome.

cerebellum and pons. The cerebellum normally coordinates movement and the pons (located in the brainstem) transmits signals from the cerebellum to the rest of the brain. Several forms of PCH have been described, each having some different signs and symptoms but all characterized by problems with movement, delayed psychomotor development, and intellectual disability. Although each form has a different genetic cause, they are all inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.[1][2] Many children with PCH live only into infancy or childhood, although some individuals have lived into adulthood.[1] Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.[2]Pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH) is a group of conditions affecting the brain characterized by underdevelopment of the

I have attempted to install Zimbra Desktop on a friends Vista machine multiple times now. The install seems to go fine. I have tried launching it from the checkbox at the end of the install, then not doing that and just clicking on the shortcut. I have tried uninstalling and fresh installing, also repairing. I ran the shortcut target in a dos window to see the error, that error is below
C:\Program Files\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\win32\zdrun.vbs(250, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'GetObject'
I have used this program for a very long time on my XP machine and know my friend would love it also, after 3 days though I'm about to give up. Has anyone else run into this and have a fix?
Thanks in advance

Struckmeyers overrun by flames of Heartstrong Fire
It has been a busy year for Jennifer Struckmeyer.
"It's crazy that it's been that long," she said.
In fact, the past year probably seemed like it went by quicker than the 60-90 seconds she spent being overrun by the towering flames during the Heartstrong Fire, which occurred one year ago March 18.
"To me, it seemed like a lifetime," Struckmeyer said. "I know I had time to say several prayers."
Jennifer Struckmeyer, along with her husband Del, their son Austin, brother- and sister-in-law Damon and Pam Struckmeyer, and mother Dorothy Marie Lattimer-Hixson were recently interviewed by 9News at the site where Jennifer, Damon, Pam and their nephew Darren Stewart got stuck in the sandhills in the Wages Volunteer Fire Department truck they had been using to attack the huge fire.
It was early afternoon on March 18, 2012, when winds gusting up to 60 m.p.h. downed a power line on Yuma County Road 26, about 12 miles south of Highway 34 and County Road M.
The winds and extremely dry conditions quickly fueled the fire into a towering inferno. It had traveled in a matter of minutes three miles north to Road 26, where it destroyed the long-time home of Dwaine and Lucy Eastin and continued northward, also spreading to the east and west, destroying the long-time home of Florence Pletcher, while moving rapidly northward.

Eight volunteer fire departments responded to the blaze, including the four-person crew on an attack truck from Wages, located in extreme north-central Yuma County. They weren't far from the Pletcher home, in a field off of County Road M and County Road 33, when their truck got stuck in the sandy soil.
"It was five seconds from the time we got stuck to when the flames were rolling over us," Pam said. "I turned to scream and the oxygen just got sucked out the cab."
Damon had been in the cab with Pam, while Darren and Jennifer were working the spray nozzles on the truck. Damon got out to get a "fog stream" going over the truck to help fight off the flames. He bumped into Jennifer, tried to yell instructions to her, then went to help Darren with the fog stream.
"It was incredibly loud," Damon said. "You had to scream and still couldn't hear."
He said he thought Jennifer had gotten into the cab with Pam. However, Pam knew better; she saw survival instinct had taken over and Jennifer took off running. She said she tried to go get Jennifer, but the flames showed up, and the door slammed as the oxygen was sucked from the cab.
"It was like a hand pushed her down, and then the flames rolled over her," Pam said.
It seemed to them the fire stuck around for a minute to a minute and a half, before moving on.
"It was so hot I thought I was going to step out into glass," Pam said, explaining that she thought the sand would be heated into glass.
Damon went to the cab and discovered Jennifer wasn't in there with Pam, who told him she was in front of the fire truck. However, the wind was howling so loud it was hard to hear, and the visibility from the flying dirt and ash dropped visibility to near zero. Damon walked around the truck's perimeter and could not find her.
Pam insisted Jennifer was out in front of the truck. Damon kept looking and finally found her about 30 feet away from the truck.
Meanwhile, Jennifer was wondering where her family was.
"My first thought was they all died, and I'm out here alone, injured, with no communication," she said, "then I heard them screaming for me, and I was breathing, so I knew everything was going to be OK."
However, all was not good. Her right boot had come off in the sandy soil, and she was suffering from some pretty severe burns. As mentioned above, the visibility was only a few feet, the GPS in the fire truck had not been turned on, and it took fellow firemen 45 minutes to finally find them.
"The guys in the Yuma truck that found us figured they had circled us five times," Damon said.
Jennifer had severe burns, but Damon and Darren also were hurt; Darren with burns around the eyes and hand, and Damon with burns on the neck, ears, back and elbow.
All three were transported to Yuma District Hospital. Damon and Darren were released by the next day, but Jennifer was transported from Yuma to the burn unit in Greeley by ambulance (the winds prevented a helicopter coming out) and was conscious until they arrived in Greeley.
Then came all the surgeries and the long, arduous rehabilitation. She has undergone close to a dozen surgeries, including one on a finger last Monday. Most of the procedures came during her two and a half months in the burn unit in Greeley and the long-term acute care facility in Johnstown.
All of her toes on her right foot had to be amputated, and her lungs slowly had to be cleared out. She still was not able to walk nearly two months after the fire, having to be hoisted in and out of bed to be taken anywhere.
However, progress started coming rapidly in May. Jennifer said she knew the Wages Volunteer Fire Department's annual big fundraiser was set for June 10.
"I said I had to be home by the 10th," she said, adding that when her caregivers seemed a bit skeptical she told them, "You don't know me."
"In 20 days I went from not walking to walking out of there," Jennifer said.
She has not returned to her firefighting days.
"I still have the urge ... I want to be part of the action, but I don't want to be on the truck," she said. "I can't be involved if I don't want to be on the truck."
However, she is EMT certified and plans on staying involved on the ambulance side of things. She said she knows some people have been critical of her running away from the fire truck, but she did what her instincts told her to do.
It has been a tough year, but also one full of blessings.
"I don't regret anything," Jennifer said. "What happened, happened, and I'm OK with it."

Friday News, January 18
Plymouth County Sees A Rise In Gun Permits
(Le Mars) -- The number of people seeking permits to carry hand guns in Plymouth County has seen a dramatic increase, especially since the November elections. Plymouth County Sheriff, Mike Van Otterloo says since the election, Plymouth County has issued 227 total permits to carry a hand gun, and the county has issued 84 permits to purchase a hand gun. During the year of 2012, a total of 546 permits to carry a hand gun were issued, along with 170 permits to purchase a hand gun. Back in 2011, the Iowa legislature changed the rules regarding gun ownership and the opportunity to carry a hand gun making it somewhat easier to acquire a permit to purchase and a permit to carry hand guns. Sheriff Van Otterloo says Plymouth County residents have taken advantage of the new rules.
Listen to
Van Otterloo says people give many reasons for wanting to carry a hand gun.
Listen to
The Plymouth County sheriff says, in general, he is not worried about the people who have filed to carry a hand gun.
Listen to
Van Otterloo offers his opinions about the high number of people seeking gun permits.
Listen to
Gun permits are for either hand guns or rifles, long barreled guns, such as shotguns are excluded.
Iowa Receives Money For Insurance Exchange
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa has received more than $6.8 million in federal money to help build its new health insurance exchange.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the one-year grant Thursday.
The level one funding is used to conduct insurance market research and analysis. The state's public health department can use the money to determine what financial resources are needed for
individuals, small businesses, coverage appeals and complaints.
Governor Terry Branstad announced last month that Iowa would create a state-federal partnership exchange instead of a state-based exchange. The exchange system is a requirement of the
federal health care law.
Health officials say Iowa has now received more than $40 million in federal grants to build its exchange.
Iowa Board of Education Wants To Make It Easier To Recruit Superintendents
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The state Board of Educational Examiners wants more time to discuss a proposal that would let business and military leaders become Iowa school superintendents.
A March 14 work session on the proposal was scheduled by the board at Thursday's meeting. Iowa Education Department staffers also were asked to prepare other proposals for creating alternative paths for superintendents.
Currently, only licensed educators may become superintendents.
Under the proposal, people with five years of recent experience in the "upper cabinet or leadership team of an organization" would be eligible for preliminary administrator licenses. That
would let them serve as school superintendents or the directors of Area Education Agencies.
They then would be required to spend the next three years completing courses for professional administrator licenses.
Dvorsky To March In Inaugural Parade
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Democratic Party says its chairwoman and a Des Moines-based drill group will represent Iowa in Monday's inaugural parade in Washington.
Party Chair Sue Dvorsky said Thursday she "couldn't be more excited" to join the parade along with the Isiserettes, a group of high school students that performs marching and drumming routines.
The group performed at President Barack Obama's first inaugural event in 2009 and at an Obama campaign stop at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines last May. The group also appeared at
Obama campaign events dating back to 2007.
Dvorsky says she's thrilled to appear with other Iowans who helped launch Obama's career. She says it's been "an incredible journey and the opportunity to march in the parade puts a perfect
bow on this whole experience."
Emerald Ash Borer Moving Slowly
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Agriculture officials say there's little movement in northeast Iowa of an invasive insect known for killing ash trees.
The Iowa Emerald Ash Borer Team says final results from surveillance efforts in 2012 show little movement from the emerald ash borer. Two traps last year indicated the metallic green beetles
had moved inland from the Mississippi River.
The insect was spotted in 2010 on Henderson Island in the Mississippi River in Allamakee County. The latest data shows the insects are still in Allamakee County but no longer on the island.
The county has been under a federal and state quarantine since 2010. It prohibits the movement of such items like firewood, ash nursery stock and ash timber.

Video: Obama: 'They failed because we refuse to be terrorized'
Video: Police Capture Second Boston Marathon Suspect
Video: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev driven by in ambulance, crowd erupts
Watertown, MA-- Police cornered and captured Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Friday night, ending a tense, five-day drama that had gripped much of the Boston area with fear and gridlock.
Police arrested the 19-year-old at about 8:45 p.m., after finding him holed up in a boat stored in the backyard of a Watertown residence. He was led to an ambulance and driven away from the scene.
Tsarnaev's capture came two hours after Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick ended a Boston-area lockdown after a massive, day-long search of suburban Watertown, which seemingly failed to flush out the teenager. Dozens of bystanders cheered and applauded and police left the scene.
"I had a feeling he was out there," say Julie Der Torossian, 13, whose house backs up to the house where the suspect hid. "It's so quiet. It's the perfect place to hide."
Closure for many in the area began at about 7 p.m., when gunshots erupted in a Watertown residential neighborhood after Tsarnaev discovered in a covered boat resting on a towing trailer alongside a clapboard home on Franklin Street. He had been wounded in a early Friday morning firefight with police that killed older brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26.
"We're exhausted, but we have a victory here tonight,'' said Col. Timothy Alben, State Police Superintendent. U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said charges against Tsarnaev have not yet been determined.
Police were tipped off by a resident who saw blood spatters on the boat, climbed up a ladder to open the tarp cover and discovered the suspect. Hundreds of police on the scene surrounded the area, initially approaching with caution for fear that Tsarnaev was wearing or holding explosive devices.
For most of the day, hundreds of police conducted a methodical, house-to-house sweep in Watertown for Tsarnaev.
Hours earlier, Tamerlan Tsarnaev died after a dramatic car chase and shootout with police during which the more than 200 rounds of ammunition were fired. As they were pursued, the brothers threw several pipe bombs and a grenade at police as they attempted to flee in a carjacked SUV.
Tamerlan, badly wounded, was left at the scene by his younger brother, who apparently backed over him as he sped away in a carjacked Mercedes SUV.
State Police Superintendent Timothy Alben said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev later abandoned the stolen vehicle in Watertown and fled by foot.
Authorities believe there are no other accomplices in Monday's twin bombings, which killed three and wounded 176 people near the finish line of the Marathon. Several victims lost limbs in the bombings, and some remain in critical condition at area hospitals. Investigators have not found any formal links to an international terror group.
The brothers' acts continue to befuddle authorities, family and friends. Students at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where Dzhokar was a student, say they saw him on campus following Monday's bombings.
During the overnight and early-morning pursuit of the brothers, a federal official familiar with the case said authorities recovered a handful of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), including one in the possession of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. All of the devices appeared to be homemade explosives, including pipe bombs. Several were detonated by police Friday afternoon.
Police took Tamerlan Tsarnaev to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center following the exchange of gunfire with police at about 1:20 a.m. Friday. Dr. David Schoenfeld said medical personnel tried to revive him. He had multiple gunshot wounds and burn and gaping blast wounds that appeared to have come from an explosive device strapped to his body.
.Dzhokar's escape prompted Gov. Patrick to order the city of Boston and its surrounding suburbs locked down and its residents to remain in their homes for much of Friday. The Boston Red Sox and Bruins postponed Friday night games. Businesses in Watertown, Newton, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge and the Alston and Brighton neighborhoods of Boston were requested to close, while residents were told to remain indoors until the suspect was caught. Massachusetts also shut down mass transit, including buses and trains, in Boston and surrounding suburbs, Kurt Schwartz, director of Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency said.
The Tsarnaev family is believed to have moved to the USA in 2003. They had lived in Kazakhstan for several years after fleeing war-torn Chechnya. Tamerlan attended Bunker Hill Community College in nearby Charlestown as a part-time student for three semesters from 2006 to 2008. He studied accounting.
In an telephone interview from Russia with the Associated Press, the brothers' father, Anzor Tsarnaev, said Dzhokhar is "a true angel" and "an intelligent boy." In subsequent media interviews, he said his sons had been framed for Monday's bombings.

I love the detail in your garage building pages. They helped me understand how to engineer a foundation for a garage we are planning that our building department will approve. I had the inspector go to your pages and review what I was talking about. Now, I am studying the wall framing sections, as we plan to build it ourselves this fall. Thank you so much for the great information.
Great stuff on wall framing. I never really understood the on-and-off spacing concepts for the wall studs until I read your explanations.

Though 2008 was not a banner year for pharma, the industry can still pat itself on the back: It continued to extend control over HIV with three important new drugs, including Merck's Isentress; Treanda, brought to market by Cephalon, became the first advance against CLL in seven years; and Pfizer revamped an old pain drug as Lyrica for a newish condition, fibromyalgia. All three drugs showcased pharma's drive toward innovation in discovery, development, or marketing. For patients who benefited by them, each drug was no doubt the brand of the year. (See sidebars for more on each of these three finalists.)
Crestor's sales are a marvel—and something of a mystery. Since generic simvastatin (Zocor) hit in 2006, it has wreaked havoc on the $34 billion cholesterol market, long a leading engine of the blockbuster economy. Copycats immediately crushed sales of Zocor with a 97 percent switch rate in the first 12 months, according to Datamonitor. Sales of Pfizer's Lipitor—the fattest pharma cash cow ever—plunged 20 percent from Q1 2005 to Q2 quarter 2008. Crestor, alone among branded statins, has made gains—big ones. According to the drugmaker, in 2005, the superstatin recorded $1.2 billion in global sales; in 2006, $2.1 billion; in 2007, $2.8 billion; and in 2008, an estimated $3.5 billion.
A giant Crestor trial called JUPITER was also responsible for what was arguably 2008's biggest medical news, supporting the use of statins to prevent heart attack and stroke in healthy people with normal LDL cholesterol but high levels of a C-Reactive Protein (CRP), a marker for inflammation. "The trial was originally conceived to see how important a factor inflammation is in cardiovascular disease," CEO David Brennan told The Wall Street Journal last March.
Expanding the statin market to include testing and treatment for inflammation could send Crestor sales as high as $15 billion by 2016, when the patent expires. Such a scenario is unlikely to materialize unless AZ can win the daunting cost-effectiveness battle, but one thing is certain: As the other statins fade, Crestor's best days are still ahead.

Greensboro, NC-- Have you ever met a man who knows how to light a fire in kids, and can teach them how to light a fire, literally.
Well, meet John Young. He has been a part of the Boy Scouts for 53 years. And, Young can now add 2 Those Who Care to his resume.
John said he loves to get his kids fired up.
He's help start up programs like proper firearm safety, where kids get to experience shooting muzzle rifles from the old days, to blacksmith training.
"I really enjoy being here and creating programs that are different, something they can't do somewhere else," Young says.
Even the adult leaders continue to learn from Young, and they love having him around.
Daniel Flack, a scout leader, said this about Young "Just exhuberance! Just youthful exhuberance in his ability to just be a kid again and come out here and relate to all the young scouts to the adult leaders. He does a great job of relating to those people."
