With the regular season winding down, the Franklin College women's basketball team remained in the hunt for the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference championship with a 78-75 double-overtime win Saturday against visiting Anderson.
The Grizzlies trail HCAC leader Transylvania by one game with two games left.
Franklin kept itself in contention by holding on in the second overtime against the Ravens. The Grizzlies squandered all of a 14-point lead in regulation, but forced overtime on a layup by Jenna Wittenberg with 24 seconds left to forge at 54-54 tie.
Anderson led 64-69 in the first overtime before Franklin senior point guard Annie Tarkington knocked down a 3-pointer with 22 seconds left.
On the subsequent possession, Franklin senior guard Lindsay Rich drew a foul and went to the line for two free throws. She missed the first and, following a timeout, intentionally missed the second.
Rich raced in from the right side, grabbed the offensive rebound and banked it off the glass, sending the game to a second overtime.
"I had never done that before, or even practiced it," Rich said. "I just knew I had to hit the rim and get the rebound."
A layup by senior center Jess Prewett put Franklin back on top to start the second overtime, and the Grizzlies led the rest of the way.
With the win, Franklin improved to 13-3 in the conference and 19-4 overall.
Rich, with a team-best 18 points, was one of five Grizzlies players in double-figures.
Prewett and Lindsey Dall each scored 13 points for Franklin. Krista Schott added 12, and sophomore Nichole Thompson, a Greenwood graduate, scored seven of her 11 points in the second overtime.

Throughout the 1920s American government and business discussions on Third World development remained within the context of providing the domestic economy with markets and raw materials. Economic development was synonymous with exploitation of the resources of poor lands. In the 1930s, Secretary of State Cordell Hull became a prominent advocate of economic expansion into peripheral areas. Hull's reciprocal trade concept implied that underdeveloped regions would function as raw material producers in the world division of labor. Free trade and specialization in primary goods production would bring prosperity and stability to these nations. Hull urged policies to facilitate the movement of capital from "financially stronger to financially weaker countries." This capital transfer was necessary to secure raw materials for the American economy and to stabilize Third world political and economic situations.( 80) The comments of Hull and other policymakers on creating a postwar economic order reflected a growing state consensus on the need for world development.
Economic development theory was in its nascent stages before the Second World War. Advanced capitalist nations appeared to have a cursory interest in the vitality of poor, agrarian nations. Few Western economists prior to 1940 formulated theories or plans for the development of the periphery. Some scholars believed that economic growth was grinding to a halt in the core nations, and the 1930s depression seemed to confirm this assessment. In the underdeveloped nations, however, "where economic progress had not yet dug its own grave, conditions [were] propitious to start the cycle of progress and decay."( 81) Poor agrarian nations, with their unexploited natural resources and potentially great markets, and assisted by modern technology, would quickly improve their economies.
American and other capitalist core leaders posited that societies evolved from a traditional underdeveloped state to a modern developed state. Capitalist core leaders contended that true development could only take place through the free play of market forces, the operation of comparative advantage, and the beneficial interaction between themselves and reform minded elites in the periphery. This interaction would bridge, but not close, the gap between rich and poor. Peripheral areas could profit from industrialization policies; but in most cases industrialization itself was superfluous. "Through foreign trade, specialization in the production of raw materials would serve economic and social progress as well as, or even better than, industrialization."( 82)
American policymakers embraced these principles not merely because they manifested long cherished Western economic doctrines, but also because they reflected long-standing societal needs, national values, perceived national experiences, and consequent foreign policies. American state and corporate elites used this framework as the basis for wartime and post- war planning, even as economists articulated contrary theories and Third World nations pleaded their special needs.

Additional Information
About Organización de Desarrollo Empresarial Femenino Financiera, S.A.This loan is administered by Organización de Desarrollo Empresarial Femenino Financiera, S.A. (ODEF), a Kiva Field Partner in Honduras. A leader in the microfinance sector since 1985, ODEF strives to combat poverty by offering a wide array of financial services to low-income men and women. The organization works with its parent NGO, ODEF OPD, to provide training and technical assistance to impoverished microentrepreneurs. By incorporating the entire family unit in this process, ODEF OPD aims to improve the standard of living through the creation of profitable enterprises. Visit ODEF's partner page for more information.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

A Diva Seeks the Spotlight Close to Home
Hei-Kyung Hong looks every bit the international opera star—the sort who jets around the world to sing on the most important stages.
But Ms. Hong, 51 years old, is based firmly in Bayside, N.Y. And her central stage is the Metropolitan Opera, where since 1984 she has sung 24 roles, from Violetta in "La Traviata" to Susanna in "Le Nozze di Figaro." And earlier this month, Ms. Hong landed a career highlight: a full run as the lead in Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette."
On March 2, the Met announced that the soprano who was scheduled, Angela Gheorghiu, was ill and would withdraw from all the performances. Ms. Hong—who rehearsed the role as the cover (the opera term for an understudy)—got the call the night before opening night. It was sudden, but she was prepared. "When the person you are covering is not feeling well, you have to be ready," she said.
It's a discipline that Ms. Hong knows well. In January, she replaced Genia Kuhmeier as Micaela in "Carmen" for three performances. "The cover is supposed to be there, ready to go on at any time," she said. "The main character could sing and fall [onstage] and hurt herself. As a cover, you have to get dressed and go in for the rest of the show."
It's less common, though, to sing the entire run. But Ms. Hong is a stalwart professional who has built her career carefully—and in balance with her family life. "What she has been able to craft is an almost entirely Met-based career," said Brian Zeger, artistic director of the vocal department at the Juilliard School and executive director of the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. "It almost doesn't happen for anyone."
Ms. Hong grew up in Seoul and moved to New York at age 15 to study at Juilliard. "I had no idea I could sing opera," she said. "It was just to learn the vocal art."
After embracing opera, she found an influential supporter in conductor James Levine, who cast her as Servilia in Mozart's "La Clemenza di Tito." Says Mr. Zeger, who saw her Met debut: "He recognized in her enormous ability and versatility."
But rather than shoot for an international career, Ms. Hong proceeded conservatively, mindful of the mistakes of others. She recalls going to City Center to see an up-and-coming singer in "Lucia di Lammermoor."
"It was magnificent. I became a fan. Then three years or so later, I went to see her again and she was singing Susanna in 'The Marriage of Figaro.' Her voice was gone," said Ms. Hong. "The conductor was an acquaintance of mine, and I had the opportunity talk to him. He said she just sang too much. She was so good that everybody was asking her to come here and there. She's traveling back and forth, and her voice gave out."
The lesson stuck—and her career has been long, as a result. "Hei-Kyung made extremely smart choices of repertory. She never overstepped," said Mr. Zeger. "She was asked from a young age to sing 'Butterfly,' but it would have cost her a great deal."
The role requires volume and a hefty voice that can project over the orchestra, he explained, adding that Ms. Hong's voice has a "very silvery sheen that always sounds youthful and fresh. It's not about sheer power."
The role of Juliette—which she sings Saturday night and March 22 and 26—allows that quality to shine. And as a mother of three, she knows how to physically portray a coltish, over-excited 14-year-old. She first sang Juliette in 1996, when her two daughters were 15 and 16. Now, her son is 17. "I know these uncontrollable hormonal attractions," she says. "I went through it, but it's a different perspective when you watch your children being overwhelmed by these hormonal desires."
Her own romance had a dreamy quality. After nine years of living in the U.S., she went to sing at a Korean church in Woodside, Queens. Her future husband was in the congregation. "He totally did a Romeo on me," she said.
In regard to her onstage Romeo, Piotr Beczala, Ms. Hong says no prudishness gets in the way: Those kisses are for real. "Absolutely! Would Juliet and Romeo not kiss? That would be out of the question," she laughs.
And while she is happy to have the opportunity to sing the lead role onstage, she says the rehearsal room would have been enough: "For me it's not about fame or being a star or a successful opera person. I was given this talent. When I have an opportunity to express it, I feel at home, happy, alive and complete. I was having wonderful time rehearsing!"

So, which is better, Big apples on a rigid frame or Stelvios on an unsuspended frame? After all, what's the point of having pneumatic tires if you're just going to kill the suspension effect with high pressure skinny tires?
Also, has anyone tried out the 60-406 Big Apples? I thought the 50mm ones were wide, but the 60mm ones are over twice the width of a Stelvio!

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Little bluestem becomes the official state
grass of Kansas on July 1.
Gov. Mark Parkinson signed a bill Tuesday to bestow the honor on the prairie plant.
Students from Shawnee Mission South High School in Overland Park
pushed the idea this year, and they had support from some
A few legislators suggested honor go to the big bluestem, which is dominant in eastern third Kansas, or buffalo grass, which is prevalent in western Kansas.

The reader is strongly advised to read the lens evaluation notes.
See the DAP reviews of tilt/shift lense (search for "PC-E" on the index page).
The PC-E Micro Nikkor 45/2.8D ED offers a tilt function, which is one way to evade the effects of diffraction, by reducing the need to stop down when a cooperatively-shaped subject presents itself (e.g., one not plane parallel to the sensor but having its own semi-planar shape along which tilt can be aimed).
The shift function allows perspective correction, which is the other reason to consider a tilt/shift lens.

hi guys
I like to share my experience here about the thing that I have done to cooling my PC with the old air conditioner fan coil, well the problem started to me when I have sifted my computer on the server rack, suddenly the computer started to overheating, so I made few research on the web and found out an article that had mention the solution to same exact technique , the way was to make them cook with the use of the high speed fans, which by the way was making really very hard noise . I have to use the old air conditioner fan coil that I was suppose to sent to the scrap but, I am glad that I saved it so I use the fan coil from that air conditioner and used it
Here is my Build speck
- AMD FX 8150 Zambezi (3.6ghz 8 core) processor with the Swiftech Apogee HD
- ASUS AMD Radeon Dual Fan HD 6950 graphic card two of them with the Swiftech MCW82 Universal GPU waterblock
- ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard
- CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) Ram
I have two fan of 120MM and one of the 80 MM fans on that case , don't have any fan for the radiator as I thinjk there is no room to fix the fan on the radiator and beside that would even not looks goods. I am getting the temp of around 40C to 45C on the CPU that is running on the 3.9ghz, and 95% capacity with BOINC. I played the BF3 and the temp that I am getting is the 50 to 53C , I have still not experience the a transient temp above 60C, but I don't know what to choose top stress the system… can anyone here suggest the better application for stress test?. Well until now I have not seen any kind of issue on this .. so I will like if anyone here like to share anything on this , it will be really be great to see that .

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Her lips are red, too red. Her skirt, too tight. She's different from the other mothers and I'm old enough to know different is bad so I tell my new friend, "No, my mother's dead."

Sproles helps Chargers roll
But the defense, absolutely lit into on the sideline by coordinator Ron Rivera after the Wayne touchdown, kept making plays.
Rivera seemed to dial up every imaginable blitz and play after play had his unit in the right defense. The Chargers disguised constantly, changed as Manning did and went after him with abandon in the second half.
"It's one of the better (called) games since I've been here," Phillips said.
"Whenever you go against Peyton, it really is a chess match," said linebacker Stephen Cooper, who was the man on the field matching wits with the NFL MVP.
The Chargers chased Manning around the backfield much of the night and finally sacked him when it mattered most. On third-and-2 at the Colts 9-yard line with two minutes remaining, Tim Dobbins ran in untouched from the weak side and dropped Manning at the 1.
Sproles returned the ensuing punt to the Colts 38, the Chargers drove to the 16 and Nate Kaeding drilled a 26-yard field goal to tie the score with 31 seconds left.
In overtime, after the Chargers won the toss, the Colts melted down. A defensive holding penalty and face-mask penalty on successive plays moved the Chargers from the 40, where they had third-and-8, to the 20.
Sproles was then dropped in the backfield for a 2-yard loss.
Then came Sproles' redemption.
"Oh man," Sproles said when asked how great it was to be able to make up for his fumble. "I was sick after the fumble."
Sproles finished with 105 yards on 23 carries, 328 total yards and two touchdowns.
"The guy who typifies what our guys are about is Darren Sproles," Turner said.
"He's got a lot of heart," Cooper said. "He could have gone in the can after the fumble, just like we could have gone in the can at 4-8."

|Patent application number
|Method and Apparatus for Controlling an Electrical Machine - An observer (
|Design Improvements for Flux Switching Machines - Disclosed herein is a design for flux switching machines with one or more armature windings which can deliver controlled torque, in either selected direction on start up, without the use of a mechanical position sensor. Flux switching machines without sensors can operate equally well in either direction. The invention discloses design features for such machines which improves the torque profile of the motor with angle. In three phase machines this delivers higher torque and lower ripple torque. In single phase flux switching machines the invention allows the rotor to be placed in a position where maximum torque can be delivered in either direction by selection of either positive or negative armature current. Rotor slotting is introduced to create a path of low permeability across a rotor tooth with minimal impact on the normal torque producing flux paths. Asymmetry of stator slots is used to further create a stable rotor position when energised by predominantly field means or armature means. Starting of the rotor from this stable position can be achieved in either direction. The method is suitable for starting permanent magnet flux switching motors. The invention results in low cost single phase motors which can start and run in either direction and three phase flux switching motors with improved performance over the prior art.
|Method and Apparatus for Control of Electrical Machines - A control system for an electronically commutated motor (
|High Efficiency LED Power Supply - There is an increasing need for simple and low cost power supplies to control loads such as battery chargers and LEDs. It is the object of this invention to provide an alternative method for the control of current in such loads with very high efficiency and to reduce the variation of load current with supply voltage. This invention is particularly relevant to LED power supplies or battery chargers and provides an electronic power supply for the control of an electrical load connected to an electrical source, the electrical load comprising a main load with at least one LED and an auxiliary load with at least one LED, the electronic power supply comprising a series compensation block connected in series with the main load and the voltage source, the series compensation block providing a voltage in opposition to the voltage source by directly controlling the power delivered to the auxiliary load and indirectly controlling the power converted in the main load.
|LED POWER SUPPLY - A power supply circuit which offers a high efficiency and cost competitive solution to driving one or more low voltage LED strings from a higher voltage ac or dc supply. The power supply provides a dimming capability either by direct variation of the input supply or independently of the input supply by a simple internal controller. Aspects of the invention may be used without current feedback while obtaining acceptable current regulation, even under significant changes in the LED voltage or number of LEDs in a string. The power supply can drive one or more LED strings from a single power supply without the need to individually monitor the current in each string. A very low cost method to drive three colour LEDs and independently vary the current through each colour of LED to create a low cost colour blending power supply is provided. The power supply comprises at least two conversion stages, a first conversion stage comprising input terminals for connection to an ac or dc supply, an electronic converter with constant output current characteristics and output terminals for connection to at least one second conversion stages. Each second conversion stage comprises input terminals to receive a substantially constant current input from a first conversion stage, current multiplier circuit and output terminals for connection to a load. Circuits according to this invention are particularly suitable for lighting applications, for controlling the large number of LEDs in LED display panels or in backlighting for televisions and LCD displays.
|CONTROLLER FOR ELECTRICAL MACHINES - The present invention relates to control of electrical machines and in particular, though not exclusively, to control of synchronous machines such as hybrid stepping motors, flux switching machines and brushless permanent magnet motors and generators. A sensorless control system for an electrical machine is provided comprising a rotor, a stator having one or more phase windings for generating a rotating stator magnetic field, the system comprising detection means for monitoring the currents in the phase windings providing a real component I
|MICRO-STEPPING RELUCTANCE MOTOR - The present invention relates to control of electrical motors and in particular, to the design and control of reluctance motors capable of micro-stepping position control. According to the invention there is provided a single stack variable reluctance machine with salient stator teeth and salient rotor teeth, the stator further comprising field magnet sections created by either permanent magnets or field windings or a combination of permanent magnets and field windings, and further comprising armature windings connected to form at least two armature phase windings, the armature phase windings connected to a power source or power electronic inverter for the supply of positive and negative current to at least two armature phase windings such that the rotor rotates in small incremental steps in response to small changes in the current in one or more of the phase windings.

New details have emerged on the Storybook Circus area thats planned as part of the new Fantasyland expansion at Magic Kingdom Park.
With all the updates that have been done on the royal side of the Fantasyland expansion Beasts Castle, Maurices Cottage and Under the Sea ~ Journey of the Little Mermaid the plans for Storybook Circus seemed to be a bit more mysterious. Until now.
Storybook Circus will be based on Disney's animated film, Dumbo. Here, Casey Jr., the famous locomotive from the movie, has rolled into town and brought the grand Storybook Circus with him. The area will be filled with colorful circus tents and nods to the famous film. For example, guests especially little ones are welcome to cool down with Casey Jr., who can be found near the train station, getting splashed by playful circus animals.
Just past Casey Jr., guests will encounter big-top circus tents that lead to a double version of Dumbo the Flying Elephant. Also, in the tradition of classic air shows, Barnstormer will take on a new look and theme, becoming a spiraling stunt plane built by The Great Goofini.

[artist id="502642″]Eminem[/artist] just needs some time to think … alone … and apparently without clothes on. The trailer for his new "3 A.M." video hit the Net Thursday, and the Detroit rapper plays a psychotic, homicidal wild man on the loose.
As the trailer begins, we see a shot of a man that looks to be Em, sitting naked on a chair in an empty room. From there, we see images of a dead body on the floor and Em lying in a bed in a room with blood-splattered walls. Shortly after, we see a nurse walking down a hallway and flashes of chaotic scenes, such as a very in-shape Em running through the woods with a confused look on his face, neck covered in blood.
The images in the video were obviously inspired by the maniacal lyrics of the song, in which Slim Shady raps about everything from Kim Kardashian and Miley Cyrus to drinking blood.
"Wake up naked in McDonald's with/ Blood all over me /Dead bodies behind the counter, sh–/ Guess I must have blacked-out again/ Not again … I wonder what's on the tube/ Maybe they'll show some boobs/ Surfing every channel/ Until I find "Hannah Montana"/ Then I reach for the aloe and lanolin."
"3 A.M." was directed by Syndrome and will debut on Cinemax on Saturday, May 2, at 10 p.m. right before the film, "The Strangers." "3 A.M." is the second release off of Relapse , in stores May 19.

Distress~ (Part 1)
"N...no...don't leave" She said but she was just too late as he had already bolted away in floods of tears. "I just..." As he left the Absol which belonged to Rion, took a hard look at Yuki before following him.
It seems like that sentance that she was unable to finish. With a red face and anger brimming across her previoulsy blushed cheeks, she then turned to her Rotom.
"ROTOM!...DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE," she said fustratedly, recalling it before she did something she might then regret.
She once again, sat under the grass as the sun turned to darkened cloud, pulling her knees up to her chest and resting her chin on it. "I..I'm sorry..I...just wanted to..say..." she whispered to herself.
Upon seeing all this the caring, persevering Emolga decided she had to do something now and with those thoughts she jumped off Yuki's shoulder and flew away in the direction Rion went.
"Emol-Emolgaaa" As she saw the shadow of a boy and an Absol running, as she went into a nosedive, flying between the branches of trees. "Emolga!"
she called out to the Absol as she needed to deliver an message.

Agent Garboby Stephan Talty
Were the D-Day landings saved from failure because of a lone secret agent?Agent Garbo tells the astonishing story of a self-made secret agent who matched wits with the best minds of the Third Reich -- and won. Juan Pujol was a nobody, a Barcelona poultry farmer determined to oppose the Nazis. Using only his gift for daring falsehoods, Pujol became Germany's most valued agent -- or double agent: it took four tries before the British believed he was really on the Allies' side.In the guise of Garbo, Pujol turned in a masterpiece of deception worthy of his big-screen namesake. He created an imaginary million-man army, invented armadas out of thin air, and brought a vast network of fictional subagents whirring to life. His unwitting German handlers believed every word, and banked on Garbo's lies as their only source of espionage within Great Britain.For his greatest performance, Pujol had to convince the German High Command that the D-Day invasion of Normandy was a feint and the real attack was aimed at Calais. The Nazis bought it, turning the tide of battle at the crucial moment.Based on years of archival research and interviews with Pujol's family, Agent Garbo is a true-life thriller set in the shadow world of espionage and deception.
Black Irishby Stephan Talty
In this explosive debut thriller by the New York Times bestselling author of Empire of Blue Water, a brilliant homicide detective returns home, where she confronts a city's dark demons and her own past while pursuing a brutal serial killer on a vengeful rampage.Absalom "Abbie" Kearney grew up an outsider in her own hometown. Even being the adopted daughter of a revered cop couldn't keep Abbie's troubled past from making her a misfit in the working-class Irish American enclave of South Buffalo. And now, despite a Harvard degree and a police detective's badge, she still struggles to earn the respect and trust of those she's sworn to protect. But all that may change, once the killing starts.When Jimmy Ryan's mangled corpse is found in a local church basement, this sadistic sacrilege sends a bone-deep chill through the winter-whipped city. It also seems to send a message--one that Abbie believes only the fiercely secretive citizens of the neighborhood known as "the County" understand. But in a town ruled by an old-world code of silence and secrecy, her search for answers is stonewalled at every turn, even by fellow cops. Only when Abbie finds a lead at the Gaelic Club, where war stories, gossip, and confidences flow as freely as the drink, do tongues begin to wag--with desperate warnings and dire threats. And when the killer's mysterious calling card appears on her own doorstep, the hunt takes a shocking twist into her own family's past. As the grisly murders and grim revelations multiply, Abbie wages a chilling battle of wits with a maniac who sees into her soul, and she swears to expose the County's hidden history--one bloody body at a time.With Black Irish, Stephen Talty stakes a place beside Jo Nesbø, John Sandford, and Tana French on the cutting edge of psychological crime thrillers.Advance praise for Black Irish "Abbie Kearney is one of the most intriguing new suspense protagonists in memory, and Black Irish marks the captivating start of a brilliant thriller series."--Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of Last to Die "A memorable story of betrayal and vengeance."--Publishers WeeklyFrom the Hardcover edition.
A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Seaby Richard Phillips Stephan Talty
It was just another day on the job for Richard Phillips, captain of the Maersk Alabama, the United States-flagged cargo ship that was carrying, among other things, food and agricultural materials for the World Food Program. That all changed when armed Somali pirates boarded the ship. The pirates didn't expect the crew to fight back, nor did they expect Captain Phillips to offer himself as hostage in exchange for the safety of his crew. Thus began the tense five-day standoff that ended in a daring high-seas rescue when U.S. Navy SEALs opened fire and picked off three of the captors. "It never ends like this," Captain Phillips said. And he's right. "A Captain's Duty" tells the life-and-death drama of the career sailor who was held captive on a tiny lifeboat off Somalia's anarchic, gun-plagued shores. A story of adventure and courage it provides the intimate details of this high-seas hostage-taking--the unbearable heat, the death threats, the mock executions, and the escape attempt. When the pirates boarded his ship, Captain Phillips put his experience into action, doing everything he could to safeguard his crew. And when he was held captive by the pirates, he marshaled all his resources to ensure his own survival, withstanding intense physical hardship and an escalating battle of wills. This was it: the moment where training meets instinct, where character is everything. Richard Phillips was ready.
Empire of Blue Water: Henry Morgan and the Pirates Who Ruled the Caribbean Wavesby Stephan Talty
Henry Morgan, a twenty-year-old Welshman, arrived in the New World in 1655, hell-bent on making his fortune. Over the next three decades, his exploits in the Caribbean in the service of the English became legend. His daring attacks on the mighty Spanish Empire on land and sea changed the fates of kings and queens. His victories helped shape the destiny of the New World. Morgan gathered disaffected English and European sailors and soldiers, hard-bitten adventurers, runaway slaves, cutthroats and sociopaths and turned them into the fiercest and most feared army in the Western Hemisphere. Sailing out from the English stronghold of Port Royal, Jamaica, 'the wickedest city in the New World', Morgan and his men terrorised Spanish merchant ships and devastated the cities where great riches in silver, gold, and gems lay waiting to be sent to the King of Spain. His last raid, a daring assault on the fabled city of Panama, helped break Spain's solitary hold on the New World for ever. Awash with bloody battles, political intrigues, and a cast of characters more compelling, bizarre and memorable than any found in a Hollywood swashbuckler, EMPIRE OF BLUE WATER brilliantly re-creates the passions and the violence of the age of exploration and empire. What's more, it chillingly depicts the apocalyptic natural disaster that finally ended the pirates' dominion.
Escape from the Land of Snows: The Young Dalai Lama's Harrowing Flight to Freedom and the Making of a Spiritual Heroby Stephan Talty
For the first time here is the story of the crucible that created the Dalai Lama the world knows today: the Lama's 14-day escape from Tibet to India in 1959, an awe-inspiring feat of courage and endurance that foiled Mao's plans and created the Tibetan government in exile.
Hangmanby Stephan Talty
New York Times bestselling author Stephan Talty's acclaimed fiction debut, Black Irish, won him comparisons to such thriller masters as Jo Nesbø, Karin Slaughter, and Tana French. Now, his chilling new novel brings back intrepid heroine Absalom Kearney, a driven police detective with a haunted past, trying to make a difference in a troubled town. Hangman, Hangman, what do you see? Four little girls, as cute as can be. The eerie schoolyard chant still sends ripples of horror through North Buffalo. Not so long ago, serial killer Marcus Flynn preyed upon the community's teenaged daughters--until he was cornered and shot in the head. But Flynn lived, carrying to prison the nickname "Hangman," along with the secret of his last victim's fate. Homicide cop Abbie Kearney wasn't around during Hangman's reign of terror. She hadn't yet come home to wear her dad's old badge in the tough Irish American stronghold known as "the County." Abbie had never experienced firsthand the horror of Hangman. Until now. Hangman, Hangman, where do they go? Down on the ground, where the daffodils grow. A corrections officer lies dead, a prison van stands empty . . . and somewhere out there, the monster who condemned innocents to death at the end of a rope watches and waits to strike again. Abbie leads a desperate manhunt through a city driven to its knees by fear, matching wits with a predator as brilliant as he is elusive. But as more victims are claimed, a rising tide of secrecy, paranoia, and politics forces her to realize that stepping beyond the law may be the only way to find justice. Because with each passing hour, the stakes grow higher--and Hangman's noose gets tighter. Praise for Stephan Talty's Black Irish "Abbie Kearney is one of the most intriguing new suspense protagonists in memory, and Black Irish marks the captivating start of a brilliant thriller series."--Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of the Rizzoli & Isles series "A memorable story of betrayal and vengeance . . . Talty does a fine job portraying the cohesiveness of the Irish, their loyalty to one another, and their obsession with their history."--Publishers Weekly "Luxuriantly cinematic . . . a compulsively readable crime thriller . . . Move over V. I. Warshawski; Buffalo gets its own crime novel heroine."--The Buffalo News "A riveting read . . . a suspenseful debut novel with a circuitous plot."--Booklist (starred review) "Talty shows his chops when recounting [Buffalo's] Irish roots."--Kirkus ReviewsFrom the Hardcover edition.
The Illustrious Dead: The Terrifying Story of How Typhus Killed Napoleon's Greatest Armyby Stephan Talty
In the spring of 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte was at the height of his powers. But a powerful and ancient enemy awaited Napoleon's men in the Russian steppes.

This sweeping account takes readers beyond the battlefield to understand the origins of the pathogen that finally ended Napoleon's dreams of world conquest, and exposes this 'war plague's' hidden role throughout history. A glossary of foreign terms, military terms, and place names is included. Talty is a widely published journalist and bestselling author.

Mulatto Americaby Stephan Talty
Black and white culture has been blending and colliding in America for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, black slaves discovered their masters' Bibles and found in them a seditious faith of their own. In the 1920s, young white men fell in love with New Orleans jazz and created an underground of cultural dissidents. In the 1970s, black style began its takeover of the sports world and made Dr. J and Michael Jordan the idols of millions. In Mulatto America, a dazzling work of cultural history, the stories of these daring and deeply influential encounters are described in vibrant detail. Beginning with new and shocking revelations about the white slaves kidnapped into "the House of Bondage," Mulatto America vividly chronicles the hidden connections that have shaped American style and character. Stephan Talty proposes that, along with the hatred that ruled the relationship between blacks and whites for so long, there has been a largely unexamined flip side: a powerful attraction that led both races to mimic what they saw and desired in each other. The pages of this groundbreaking work, which introduces a strong new voice, are populated by the renegades who crossed the color line out of deep conviction or wild curiosity: W. E. B. Du Bois, Dorothy Dandridge, Elvis, Jay-Z, and many others. Each chapter examines a different vanguard: The interracial lovers of the slavery era who ignored theories of racial inferiority and gave us models of devotion and daring. The black elite early in the last century who found in Shakespeare and Michelangelo not only deeply humanist masterpieces but hope that white bigotry could be overcome. And the members of today's hip-hop generation, who revel in the cultural freedom earned at so high a cost. Drawing on original research and daring new interpretations of crucial events in American history, Talty paints a portrait of a lost America: one in which musicians, writers, and ordinary people led the nation to a deeper understanding of the strangers on the other side of town. Without the mixing of black and white culture, America would look, sound, and feel completely different than it does today. On a cultural level, as well as racially, we are indeed a mulatto nation. This provocative and highly engaging new history shows us how this came to pass.
My Lost Brothers: The Untold Story by the Yarnell Hill Fire's Lone Survivorby Stephan Talty Brendan Mcdonough
A gripping first-person account by the sole survivor of Arizona's disastrous 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire, which took the lives of 19 "hotshots"--firefighters trained specifically to battle wildfires.Brendan McDonough was on the verge of becoming a hopeless, inveterate heroin addict when he, for the sake of his young daughter, decided to turn his life around. He enlisted in the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a team of elite firefighters based in Prescott, Arizona. Their leader, Eric Marsh, was in a desperate crunch after four hotshots left the unit, and perhaps seeing a glimmer of promise in the skinny would-be recruit, he took a chance on the unlikely McDonough, and the chance paid off. Despite the crew's skepticism, and thanks in large part to Marsh's firm but loving encouragement, McDonough unlocked a latent drive and dedication, going on to successfully battle a number of blazes and eventually win the confidence of the men he came to call his brothers.Then, on June 30, 2013, while McDonough--"Donut" as he'd been dubbed by his team--served as lookout, they confronted a freak, 3,000-degree inferno in nearby Yarnell, Arizona. The relentless firestorm ultimately trapped his hotshot brothers, tragically killing all 19 of them within minutes. Nationwide, it was the greatest loss of firefighter lives since the 9/11 attacks. My Lost Brothers is a gripping memoir that traces McDonough's story of finding his way out of the dead end of drugs, finding his purpose among the Granite Mountain Hotshots, and the minute-by-minute account of the fateful day he lost the very men who had saved him. A harrowing and redemptive story of resilience in the face of tragedy, My Lost Brothers is also a powerful reminder of the heroism of the people who put themselves in harm's way to protect us every day.
Under the Same Skyby Stephan Talty Joseph Kim
A searing story of starvation and survival in North Korea, followed by a dramatic escape, rescue by activists and Christian missionaries, and success in the United States thanks to newfound faith and courage Inside the hidden and mysterious world of North Korea, Joseph Kim lived a young boy's normal life until he was five. Then disaster struck: the first wave of the Great Famine, a long, terrible ordeal that killed millions, including his father, and sent others, like his mother and only sister, on desperate escape routes into China. Alone on the streets, Joseph learned to beg and steal. He had nothing but a street-hardened survival instinct. Finally, in desperation, he too crossed a frozen river to escape to China. There a kindly Christian woman took him in, kept him hidden from the authorities, and gave him hope. Soon, through an underground network of activists, he was spirited to the American consulate, and became one of just a handful of North Koreans to be brought to the U.S. as refugees. Joseph knew no English and had never been a good student. Yet the kindness of his foster family changed his life. He turned a new leaf, became a dedicated student, mastered English, and made it to college, where he is now thriving thanks to his faith and inner strength. Under the Same Sky is an unforgettable story of suffering and redemption.

A Few Facts to Counter Population-Growth Propaganda
In his June 10 letter, Peter Kostmayer of Zero Population Growth defended the population-restriction policies his organization endorses ("Protecting women and children isn't a radical concept"). There were two major distortions in that letter that require rebuttal.
First, Mr. Kostmayer asserts, "Children who are born less than two years apart have a 50 percent greater chance of dying before their fifth birthday." In making this assertion, he demonstrates faulty reasoning. In countries with endemic conditions of severe poverty and unchecked disease, couples know that some, if not most, of their children will die at an early age. As a result, they try to have more children to offset for the fact that they almost inevitably lose children.
When one looks at the larger picture, the spacing of children's births has almost nothing to do with why children are dying; rampant disease and severe malnutrition are the true culprits.
Second, Mr. Kostmayer completely misrepresents what the earlier U.N. conferences concluded about population trends in less-developed countries. …

Comments about Eagle Creek USB Universal Travel Adapter:
When we arrived in Spain, we plugged it in. The usb portion light up for a minute or two and then went out. Tried to plug in multiple devices to it with no success. Tried multiple outlets at multiple hotels and same result. Bought a $9 adapter while in Europe that worked flawlessly.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I FINALLY figured it out!!
Fagwood's a racist!! THATS why his hates this series so much! Great series BTW plot AND character development are both there (DESPITE what fagwood says). Animation is choppy at parts, but for the most part amazing, My only problems are the brother's voice and a tiny amount of the animations leave something to desire (after trixie kills that guy, is she rubbing her temple, or trying to cover her face. You know what I mean?) All in All 9/10 for an EXCELLENT series. Cant wait for the end
one of the best episode!
Hey thx! I really enjoy the series, but one of the best i seen cant wait to see the 2 others one, thats suck that series and up soon...but hey im pretty sure you will make a new one and better and coller. now lets chek the number 18 hehe..thx again.
Great storyline. The new robots are just as boxy looking as the two older models. General Warner's chin is a bit weird, as are the noses of Gryphon and Trixie. All of which are small things.
Looking back on the series, Trixie had always been a bit skeptical of the war against the giants. Gryphon has also changed dramatically in what little screen time he has received. For something done by one person, Minushi has excellent production value.
Wow, this must be the most impressing chapter i've seen til now. I totally enjoyed it. Great series man, you've really done a great work. The art is really cool and the story is also great. It's got me waitin to see what's coming on next :P Thumbsup!
I missed this episode and went back to wach it.
pesky soldiors get wiped-great.

Energy Running Out of California
The recent decision by Occidental Petroleum to move its headquarters to Houston from Los Angeles, where it was founded over a half-century ago, confirms the futility and delusion embodied in California's ultragreen energy policies. By embracing solar and wind as preferred sources of generating power, the state promotes an ever-widening gap between its declining middle- and working-class populations and a smaller, self-satisfied group of environmental campaigners and their corporate backers. read more »
Oregon's Sad Focus on 'Happiness'
Oregon is a beautiful place, and, for many of the state's well-heeled residents, including many refugees from equally beautiful but overpriced California, economic growth not only is unimportant but is even a negative. Rather than create opportunity, the real issue, according to Gov. John Kitzhaber, is making sure the state ranks high on "the happiness index." Forget sweating the hard stuff, and cozy up with a hot soy latte. read more »
Post-Nagin, New Orleans Is On Way To Becoming A Model City
Last week's conviction of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on 20 charges of bribery and fraud marks the end of a tumultuous era in the city's history, and perhaps also the beginning of a new era in American urban politics. Perhaps most remarkable was the almost total lack of protest in New Orleans over the downfall of Nagin, who had relied heavily on polarizing racial politics in his last five years in office. read more »

The U.S. Middle Class Is Turning Proletarian
The biggest issue facing the American economy, and our political system, is the gradual descent of the middle class into proletarian status. This process, which has been going on intermittently since the 1970s, has worsened considerably over the past five years, and threatens to turn this century into one marked by downward mobility.
The decline has less to do with the power of the "one percent" per se than with the drying up of opportunity amid what is seen on Wall Street and in the White House as a sustained recovery. Despite President Obama's rhetorical devotion to reducing inequality, it has widened significantly under his watch. read more »

US Army's Strategy in Afghanistan: Better Anthropology
Peterson, Scott, The Christian Science Monitor
Evidence of how far the US Army's counterinsurgency strategy has evolved can be found in the work of a uniformed anthropologist toting a gun in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan. Part of a Human Terrain Team (HHT) - the first ever deployed - she speaks to hundreds of Afghan men and women to learn how they think and what they need.
One discovery that may help limit Taliban recruits in this rough- hewn valley: The area has a preponderance of widows - and their sons, who have to provide care, are forced to stay closer to home, where few jobs can be found. Now, the HHT is identifying ways to tap the textiles and blankets traded through here to create jobs for the women - and free their sons to get work themselves.
"In most circumstances, I am 'third' gender," says Tracy, who can give only her first name. She says that she is not seen as either an Afghan woman or a Western one - because of her uniform. "It has enhanced any ability to talk to [Afghans]. There is a curiosity."
Such insight is the grist of what US forces here see as a smarter counterisurgency. "We're not here just to kill the enemy - we are so far past the kinetic fight," says Lt. Col. Dave Woods, commander of the 4th Squadron 73rd Cavalry. "It is the nonkinetic piece [that matters], to identify their problems, to seed the future here." Nearly six years after US troops toppled the Taliban, the battle is for a presence that will elicit confidence in the Afghan government and its growing security forces. "Operation Khyber," which started Aug. 22, aims for a more effective counterinsurgency - using fewer bullets and more local empowerment.
US commanders have doubled US troop strength in eastern Afghanistan in the past year. They are also fielding the HHT - a "graduate-level counterinsurgency" unit, as one officer puts it - to fine-tune aid and to undermine the intimidating grip of militants in the region.
"This battlefield has changed," says Colonel Woods, from Denbo, Pa., whose 450 or so troops are working with 150 Afghan police and 500 Afghan Army soldiers to bring security to three districts along the Khost-Gardez Pass, a key trade route. "I think the enemy has changed. He has to work harder to gain popular support. He can't work openly any longer."
Militant influence is palpable
US and Afghan officers estimate 200 to 250 Taliban, foreign fighters, and members of local criminal networks operate in the three districts - Gerda Serai, Swak, and Waze Jadran.
Several key Taliban leaders have been killed in Paktia Province and neighboring Paktika Province in recent months, and an expected Taliban spring offensive never took hold.
But this week in Chawni, as Afghan and US forces pushed deeper into territory steeped in Taliban influence, two 107-mm rockets fell close by on either side of their camp one night. No third shell came, and while the attack was small by the standards of Afghan violence, it illustrated the challenges of rooting out militants.
One villager in Chawni, where the high, dun-colored compound walls are divided by tall trees and irrigation ditches, recounts how, the night before, he had seen a Taliban convoy of six cars and two motorcycles pass through, preventing him from watering parched fields.
"I was very scared and didn't go outside," said the man, his white beard brilliant against his dark-green silk turban.
"The problem is at night, when the Taliban walk here," says another villager. "The government told us not to come out at night. The Taliban tell us the same thing."
US and Afghan officers say the militants meet after 11 p.m., make plans, then leave by 4 a.m. The fighters have been forced into the mountains, where radio intercepts reveal uncertainty and hunger.
"A lot of the counterinsurgency fight is to deny the insurgents the ability to feed and shelter themselves by the local populace," says Maj. …
