Post subject: The Cutting Edge by Linda Howard
Just got an email from Amazon about a new hardback from LH - list price $28.95, their price $17.71. The catch is this is a 1985 paperback re-issued as a hardback. Don't be fooled.
I don't understand what is going on in the publishing world. On one hand, it seems authors cannot get books published in "hard copy" form, new contracts for established authors are not guaranteeing hard copies (I know one mystery author who is ending his series after 20 books for that reason), but reissues are all over the shelves at mass market outlets. Doesn't make to sense to me.
Kudos, BTW, to Nora Roberts who clearly identifies her new stuff with a big NR logo on the front cover.

I totally agree. What a rip-off of the readers. I didn't know at first that this was a reprint. I had listed it on my "looking forward to" list. Then found out what they were doing and I am not even going to read it period now.
I buy tons of books. It really ticks me off when they show such obvious greed here. Given all the fabulous books out there, they are shooting themselves in the foot when they do this. I won't buy this book, but instead will put my money somewhere else.
Now had they just reprinted it for the usual paperback cost, I probably would have bought it, given I have not read it.

I got the same email and it sounded a bit familiar; I was going to check it's publication date when I spotted this thread which saved me the trouble.
I want to echo the quote above. I remember it was NOT a very good book compared to many that came later.
When in doubt, read.

Just to be clear, I am not blaming Linda Howard. It is entirely possible that she does not retain the rights to her early works, especially if they were done with a different publisher, so she may not have any control over this or make any money. I've heard different authors speak about different deals that they have, and it varies. She has been around a long time, so she probably didn't get much of a deal when she started.

This was a Silhouette book. I acquired it at a used book store. It was not her first; that was An Independent Woman, I believe; both the H and h were jerks in that one.
The H of The Cutting Edge was on the Alpha side, but he did a pretty good job of groveling. The h was a woman of integrity and strength. One of the best scenes in the book is when she throws a glass of well-sweetened lemonade on the H.
I DID enjoy this book. Try to find it at a UBS or on a site like BookMooch.

Linda Howard's first published novel was
All That Glitters
An Independent Wife
was her second. They are easily the most forgettable novels that she ever wrote.
The Cutting Edge
was her seventh - not one of her greatest, but far superior to the first two.

I bought this book used for 99 cents plus postage last year! I enjoyed it, but its certainly not worth the price of a HB. (very little is, these days)

I got wise to this after a while. Now I go into the book store and check the copywrite on the first page. If there's more than 1, I check to see what the oldest one is.
That's pretty greedy though, selling a LH novel as a hardcover for that kind of price. And I would bet that Linda isn't the one getting the biggest chunk of money.

I wonder if the author has any say when an older book gets re-released in either hb or pb? Maybe it is the publisher being greedy. If I was a bestselling author I would be kind of embarrassed if one of my old and maybe inferior efforts were put out again.

I don't believe Severn House Publishers is affiliated with Harlequin/Silhoette in any way, so this isn't a case of the original publisher cashing in for more money.
They did reprint it via their Mira imprint in 1995 and again in 1998, so Harlequin did print it a few times (it was originally a Silhouette Special Edition). But the hardcover is with a new publisher, so she must have gotten her rights back at some point between 1998 and now.

Memorable Biscotti RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 9 10
The enticing aroma of anise filled the kitchen and wafted through the house as Mom baked these crisp cookies when I was a girl. Mom always kept a big glass jar filled so we had a supply of these traditional cookies on hand. —Cookie Curci, San Jose, California
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon anise extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in almonds.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and grease the foil. Divide dough in half. On the foil, form each portion into an 11-in. x 3-in. rectangle.
- Bake at 300° for 35 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully remove to wire racks; cool for 15 minutes. Increase heat to 325°.
- Transfer rectangles to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-in. slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Turn and bake 10 minutes longer or until firm. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.

text: Born in the USA, my arse. That man was born on the North side of Dublin. He's Irish. His mother was Irish, the poetry, the gift of the gab - I mean, isn't it obvious? In fact, I think he's tall for an Irishman. It's an Irish occasion this evening. Patty Sledge... you know... the O'Jays. They're a tribe from the West of Ireland. Chrissie Hynde - we'd like her to be Irish. This is what? A bit of an Irish wedding. It is. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a bit of an Irish wedding. Beautiful girls, beautiful frocks, fights in the bathroom, managers and clients again, lawyers with bloody noses... It's an Irish wedding. It's a great occasion. And I even like it when it gets dirty. And I've seen it get really dirty over the years here. But rock and roll is the sound of revenge. So make your enemies interesting, I would say, ladies and gentlemen. But not tonight. When I... When we look out into the audience tonight, we don't see any enemies. We just see friends. And this country has taken this band into its bosom all the way from the very beginning. It's an amazing thing. Franko Barsalona, early on, he's a great friend - Irish friend. Chris Blackwell - what an incredible man he was to have looking after you. I mean, can you imagine, your second album - the difficult second album - it's about God? And everyone was tearing their hair out, and Chris Blackwell was, "You know, it's OK. It's Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan - it's kind of a tradition. We can get through this." And I think about what Frank Barsalona said earlier, about long-term vision. Because without Frank Barsalona and Barbara Skydell, and that kind of long-term vision of Chris Blackwell, there would be no U2 after that second album. We would have been dropped. No "Beautiful Day," no "Sunday Bloody Sunday," no "Unforgettable Fire," no "One," no "Where the Streets Have No Name," no "With or Without You." And that's the thing I want to take away from tonight. I would like to ask the music business to look at itself, and ask itself some hard questions after tonight. Because there would be no U2, the way things are right now. That's a fact. Only friends out there. Where still, Rolling Stone puts us on the cover of the magazine, thank you very much Jann. MTV and VH1 still play our videos. College radio still believes in our band and makes our band believe in ourselves. It's an amazing place to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, feeling this, feeling like you've just put out your first album. It's a nice feeling - very, very special feeling. And I see around friends and people that we've worked with for a long time, and generally don't do the big thank-you speeches, because they're boring. But will I stop the tradition for livetime? It's too many people in the room to thank. But I'd like to thank the really gorgeous women that worked for us for a long time, 'cause they're fun to thank. Beautiful, gorgeous women that run Principle Management. Ellen Darce, thank you very much. Sheila Roach, thank you very much. Ann Louise Kelly, thank you very much. Karen Koffmann, thank you very much. Regine Morlet, thank you very much. Beautiful, sexy, sometimes Irish, sometimes American women, thank you. And lots of body guards around here. No bigger bodyguards than Jimmy and Doug. Jimmy Iovine and Dough Marsh have continued in the tradition of Chris Blackwell, which is letting us get away with pretty much everything we want. So I want to thank them very much. I'm trying to think of what else. The biggest bodyguard of all - it's got to be our manager, Paul McGuinness, sitting right there. The reason why no one in this band has "slave" scrawled on their face, Paul McGuinness, thank you very much. I won't go on - but just three Kodak moments over 25 years, I'd like to share with you. One: It's 1976, Larry Mullen's kitchen; it's about the size of the drum riser he uses now. There's a big, bright-red - scarlet, really - Japanese kit, and he's sitting behind it in his kitchen, and he's playing, and the ground shakes. And the sky opens up, like Bruce was saying earlier. And it still does - but now I know why. I know why, because Larry Mullen cannot tell a lie. And his brutal honesty is something that we need in this band. Second Kodak moment: I think it's 1982 - New Haven, I believe. Things are not going very well. There's a punk rock band onstage, trying to play Bach. A fight breaks out. It's between the band. It's very, very messy. Now, you look at this guitar genius - you look that this Zen-like master that is the edge, and you hear those brittle, icy notes, and you might be forgiven for realizing that you cannot play like that unless you have a rage inside you. And in fact, I had forgotten that on that particular night, and he tried to break my nose. And I learned a very great lesson: do not piss off somebody who, for a living, lives off hand-eye coordination. Not a good idea. Dangerous, dangerous man, the Edge. Third Kodak moment: 1987, somewhere in the South. We'd been campaigning for Dr. King - for his birthday to be a national holiday. And in Arizona, they're saying no. We've been campaigning very, very hard for Dr. King. Some people don't like it. Some people get very annoyed. Some people want to kill the singer. Some people are taken very seriously by the FBI, and they tell the singer he shouldn't play the gig, because tonight, his life is at risk, and he must not go onstage. The singer laughs. You know, of course we're playing the gig, of course we go onstage. And I'm standing there, singing "Pride in the Name of Love," and I've got to the third verse, and I close my eyes, and I know I'm excited about meeting my maker, but maybe not tonight. I don't really want to meet my maker tonight. I close my eyes, and when I look up, I see Adam Clayton standing in front of me, holding his bass like only Adam Clayton can hold his bass. And you know, there's people in this room who tell you they'd take a bullet for you, but Adam Clayton would've taken a bullet for me - and I guess that's what it's like to be in a truly great rock and roll band. I know Chrissie Hynde knows what I mean. [The Edge takes the podium.] He's got a Blackberry out; that's really cool.

Guinea government forces arrested Amadou Diallo, then age 17, threw him in jail for ten days and warned him that they would continue to use him as bait to catch his father, a political activist who opposed this West African nation's strong-arm tactics and corruption.
Yet after Mr. Diallo fled to the United States, an immigration judge along with the Board of Immigration Appeals denied his appeal for safe asylum.
Thanks to a federal appeal overseen by Mario Russell, Senior Attorney for the Catholic Charities Immigration Office and St. John's University Law School professor, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed these earlier decisions on September 27, 2012. It remanded the case for reconsideration, reaffirming the principle that children and family members who are attacked or persecuted because of the activities of other family members are to be protected under the Refugee Act.
This victory represents the latest in a string of legal successes achieved thanks to efforts by Mr. Russell and the St. John's Law School students he supervises at the Immigrant and Refugee Rights Litigation Clinic. The clinic offers students the opportunity to work on real life-and-death cases in a clinical setting under the supervision of Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New York.
"It's a five-way win," Mr. Russell said as he celebrated the victory. "For Catholic Charities, for the students, for the judges and for St. Johns," he said. "And, in particular, for Mr. Diallo, our client."
What do you think about the Appeals Court decision?

Sopron : Michelin's recommendations
Sopron or Little Prague, the former Ödenburg of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is a charming small town that has preserved virtually all the traces of its Roman, medieval and Baroque past. It is to a single man, Endre Gatsk, that it owes this restoration work, undertaken after the Second World War. Although in 1921 the town refused to become part of Austria - the border is only 6km away - many Austrians understandably come here to do their shopping, wander round the old town and try the red wine.

I want to make program that will scroll large image over NXT screen.
I made 500x64 monochrome image in paint and then converted it into custom format using custom java application (format have pixels stored in columns - so every 8 bytes means 1x64 column). That seems logical, as I would only have to shift whole screen left for 1 column, read 8 bytes from file and insert them at far right.
However, this concept was proven too slow. It took about 700ms per frame and I found out that it spent most time on LCD.setPixel methods, so setting pixels one by one is not good solution.
But I have found another method that might help me: LCD.bitBlt. Idea is that it would read and copy data directy from image file, bypassing slow setPixel methods. But problem is that now I do not know in what format must input byte[] be.
Are there any specifications about how must pixels be arranged in bitBlt input to work?

Felix Cavaliere was born.
Dino Danelli was born.
Gene Cornish was born.
Eddie Brigati was born.
Veterans of such bands as Joe Dee and the Starliters, the Unbeatables and Felix and the Escorts come together as the Rascals. They begin rehearsing in singer Eddie Brigati's basement in Garfield, New Jersey.
The Rascals perform at the Phone Booth, a club in the "discotheque district" of Manhattan's East Side. Their high-energy set attracts the attention of record labels, and the group signs with Atlantic Records.
The Rascals' debut single, "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore," is released. It is credited to the Young Rascals, as are all of their records through 1967.
"Good Lovin'," a spirited remake of a song by the Olympics, becomes the Rascals' first #1 hit.
"Groovin'" becomes the Rascals' second chart-topping single. It holds down the top spot for four weeks, finally giving way to Aretha Franklin's "Respect"—which was also on Atlantic Records.
The Rascals third #1 hit, "People Got to Be Free," reaches the top of the charts, where it remains for five weeks.
'Time Peace/The Rascals' Greatest Hits', the Rascals' best-selling album, hits #1 in the midst of a year-long run.
The Rascals release the ambitious 'Freedom Suite', comprising a disc of short songs and one of lengthy instrumentals. It joins the Who's 'Tommy', Cream's 'Wheels of Fire' and the Beatles' White Album as one of a relative few double albums from the Sixties.
"Carry Me Back," the Rascals' last single to make the Top Forty, enters the chart.
Eddie Brigati leaves the Rascals.
Gene Cornish leaves the Rascals after the recording of their final Atlantic album, 'Search and Nearness'. Having signed to Columbia Records, founding members Felix Cavaliere and Dino Danelli expand the Rascals' lineup and adapt a jazzier approach.
The Rascals disband after their final album, 'The Island of Real', peaks at #180.
The Rascals re-form, minus Eddie Brigati, for a "Good Lovin' '88" tour and perform at Atlantic Records' 40th anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The Rascals are inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the twelfth annual induction dinner. Steve Van Zant is their presenter.

Meet the Trainer
Ken Gilbert
Ken Gilbert, MA, is a Theater Artist and Somatic Educator. Through his teachings of body-centered movement and creative integration he inspires, motivates and educates people in becoming more sentient and feeling as human beings living into the embodiment of thoughts, feelings and actions through the physical body. Ken is committed to developing and teaching personal empowerment through movement practices that stimulate body/mind integration, emotional agility and spiritual awakening into Creative Integration of Self-Expression. Ken's approach to Pilates – "Integrating Pilates" – is based in The Ron Fletcher Work™; he is a First Generation Nia Trainer teaching Nia Classes and Workshops and training Nia White, Green and Blue Belts domestically and internationally.
In 1983 Ken initiated his somatic journey into self-awareness, self-realization and self-actualization when he began re-birthing. Wanting to sense more depth into his psyche and physical integration of body•mind•emotion•spirit he began Reichian Therapy in 1986, truly beginning his inner journey of "self" as an artist in the world. Two years later, he trained in Hakomi, body-centered psychotherapy; not to be a therapist, rather to be more lovingly present when he later began teaching group classes and facilitating private and semi-private training sessions.
Ken's work in somatic and movement precision was initiated in 1994 when he began training in Pilates; studying with teachers Ellen Croft, Cathie Murakami, Pat Guyton, Ron Fletcher and Kathy Corey. He became a Pilates Teacher in 1996 when he met Ron Fletcher, with whom he studied for 10 years finding the depth, dimensionality, and expressivity of detail in spinal mechanics "for the body•the mind•the breath•the spirit." From Ron he learned how to live in the spirit of moving in the details of each breath. Currently Ken teaches his evolution application of the traditional work "Integrating Pilates" based on the fundamentals inherent of the work of Joseph H. Pilates, The Ron Fletcher Work™, and Nia®.
In 1997, Ken began his study and work with Debbie Rosas and Carlos AyaRosas, co-creators of Nia®. In Nia Ken found a program and fusion of transformational health and fitness, well-being and life-style. He is a visual/kinesthetic learner who has adopted auditory styles of learning; practicing Nia's "Sensation Science". He became a Nia Black Belt in 2003 and in 2005 one of the First Generation Nia Trainers facilitating Workshops, Master Classes, and Nia White Belt, Green Belt and Blue Belt Trainings; training in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and North America including Canada.
Expressivity has always been a part of Ken's life journey particularly when he discovered his home in the theater at Sacramento State College (Fall 1971) and later at the University of California, Davis (1972 – 1979 with completion of his MA in 1983). He is a body-centered actor/director in the theater; directing and performing with DramaDogs, a Theater Company (www.dramadogs.org) with his wife, E. Bonnie Lewis. Currently, his theatrical artistry is evolving within DramaDogs, a theater production and education company, where as co-artistic director he produces, directs and performs. Body-centered from inception to performance, DramaDogs creates challenging and entertaining theatrical productions and provides enriching workshops and theater arts programs. His creative work gives voice to the unconventional and offbeat; providing audiences and students with the opportunity to experience a greater compassion and understanding of ourselves and others.
Living in Santa Barbara, Ken owns EmBODYment, Somatic Education in Body-Centered Movement and Creative Integration (www.embodyment.com). Ken teaches in Santa Barbara at CenterPoint Pilates and Yoga Soup as well as other locations in the United States and Internationally. Ken's philosophy is based on the belief that we are here to Awaken into the Awareness of sensation and feelings; to become more connected to our physical•mental•emotional•spirit realms through the physical body.

We don't make higher profits by selling extra energy. The amount of profit our regulators allow us to earn is largely separated from the amount of gas and electricity we sell. This process is called Decoupling.
Our profits come primarily from "rates of return" that are authorized by our regulators on the investments we make in PG&E's energy infrastructure and from incentives earned by achieving energy efficiency targets. If energy usage and revenues turn out to be higher than needed to recover authorized costs plus the allowed return on investments, nearly all of that "extra" revenue will be used to reduce rates in the following year.
Since PG&E's profits do not generally depend on how much energy we sell, we have no reason to encourage customers to use more. In fact, the California Public Utilities Commission rewards us with financial incentives for implementing programs that succeed in encouraging our customers to use less energy.
Learn more about decoupling, and how energy efficiency and conservation benefit PG&E and our customers.
The revenue that PG&E is allowed to collect from its electric and natural gas customers can be divided into three general categories:
To learn more about revenues, please visit the website of PG&E's parent company, PG&E Corp., to find financial filings that detail the utility's quarterly and annual revenue collections.
The following chart shows what components make up PG&E's electric and natural gas revenues as of the first quarter 2011.
PG&E does not make higher profits by selling more energy, which makes PG&E and other investor-owned utilities in California distinctly different than most companies that make profits by selling more product. As a regulated company, PG&E's profits are determined by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The profit the CPUC allows PG&E to earn is separated from the amount of natural gas and electricity it sells and the cost of operations, a design called "decoupling" that is mandated by state law.
PG&E's profits come from rates of return that are authorized by the CPUC on the investments made in the utility's energy infrastructure such as natural gas pipelines, power plants, and electric transmission wires that are key to safe and reliable service. Rates of return also come from incentives earned by achieving energy efficiency targets set by the CPUC.
Shareholders invest in PG&E because the utility is allowed a rate of return that in turn allows for dividend distributions and supports the value of its shares. Ensuring shareholder interest in PG&E is a critical to ensure there is enough capital investment to spend on operations that provide safe and reliable service at reasonable rates. Shareholders invest with an expectation of a return, similar to when a bank loans money with the expectation that the principal will be paid back with interest over time. Without this return, shareholders would not invest in PG&E.
A process wherein the amount of profit the California Public Utilities Commission allows PG&E to make is separated from the amount of gas and electricity sold.

Baltimore County Department of Planning
While big-box stores and malls are getting ready for Black Friday, some of Baltimore County's traditional Main Streets are getting ready for something a little smaller—something with a little more charm. On Saturday, November 30, Dundalk and Reisterstown join other traditional commercial districts in the fourth annual Small Business Saturday.
By shopping in locally owned businesses on Small Business Saturday, you discover unique gifts you'll never find at the big stores, experience the charm and genuine customer service that you only get from small business owners, and enjoy the sights, the sounds and the beautiful chill in the air that can only be found on Main Street.
In Reisterstown, on historic Main Street, "Holiday Cheer Starts Here!" To kick off the holiday season, businesses are offering a donation discount, which allows consumers to not only shop locally but also give locally. On Small Business Saturday, participating merchants are offering a 10% discount to customers who bring in a canned good donation for the Reisterstown United Methodist Church Food Pantry. When you shop at these small businesses, the money you spend here stays here, and the donations you give stay here, too.
Main Street Dundalk, one of 26 designated Main Street Maryland communities across the state, offers a variety of shopping, eating and entertainment during the holiday season. Dundalk Renaissance Corporation and Little Crystal Bijoux are hosting a Holiday Gallery and Gifts Pop-Up Shop at 79 Shipping Place through December 23. The pop-up shop offers original holiday gifts by local artists and craftsman.
Starting Small Business Saturday, Main Street Maryland is offering a coupon for deals at Dundalk's Holiday Gallery and Gifts Pop-Up Shop. For every $50 spent from November 30 - December 23, you will receive a $10 gift card for your next purchase. You can download the coupon right now.
Baltimore County also offers a great holiday deal: you won't have to feed the meters anywhere in Baltimore County from Thanksgiving Day through December 1. Just look for the red "Seasons Greetings" bags and enjoy the free parking while you support local shops in your neighborhood.
From Catonsville to Pikesville, Essex to Randallstown, get out this Saturday and support your favorite small business. It's a great way to find unique gifts for the folks on your holiday list while you support your local neighborhood business owners. Such a deal!

Milestones in Welsh Medicine
View the Timelines:
From earliest times, Wales has enjoyed an honoured place in the history of British Medicine.
In Llangian churchyard in the Llyn Peninsula there is an ancient stone dating from the fifth or sixth century commemorating Melus, the earliest British doctor whose name we know. Dating back to the 12th century, generations of the 'Physicians of Myddfai' made a remote Carmarthenshire village a centre of research and healing centuries before the advent of modern medicine.
Buried in Cilgerran Church, Pembrokeshire, is Thomas Phaer (1510-1560) author of "The Boke of Chyldren" (1544), the first published work in English on childcare. Nearer to the present day, Wales can be proud of Betsi Cadwaladr (1789-1860), pictured above, who, late in life, qualified as a nurse and performed deeds of heroism at Balaclava during the Crimean War, and Dr William Price (1800-1893) who was not only Wales's greatest eccentric, but also an eminent surgeon, Chartist and the man whose actions led to the legalisation of cremation in Britain.
Aneurin Bevan (1897-1960) inspired by the egalitarian principles on which the Tredegar Working Men's Medical Aid Society had been based, applied socialist zeal and Welsh determination to create the National Health Service in 1948, probably the most far-reaching piece of social legislation in British history.

River Road Spectrum Sissy Bar Bagby Terry Hamer - verified purchaser
Bought this bag as a Christmas present for my husband and even though he hasn't used it yet due to cold weather, we are both pleased with the quality of the bag. Has plenty of pockets for all the various little items one tends to tote around and the inside is large enough to hold extra shirt or jacket or even rain gear. Thinking of getting myself one.

We're in Charlottesville, VA
Perform a full routine with this great set of sponge golf balls! They are made of dense sponge for easy handling, even if you are a beginner!
First, you produce four white golf balls, one at a time. Then, you can make one of the balls change from white to yellow, and back again. As a finale, you change the four white balls into one GIANT white ball!
Think you know how it's done? These work differently than Multiplying Balls! And yes, they are easy to do!
These are pretty realistic, too. They have the traditional dimpled surface, just like a real golf ball, and they are white.
And that's all you need!

|Buzzer-beating bank buries WBB
RUSTON, La. - The Idaho women's basketball team took a one-point lead over Louisiana Tech with eight seconds to play, but LA Tech's Whitney Frazier banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Lady Techsters a 64-62 victory on Saturday night.
Idaho sophomore Stacey Barr led the Vandals with 21 points and 11 rebounds, and her jumper gave Idaho its late lead. Her 21 points were two shy of her career high, and it was her second double-double of the season.
"Stacey had been struggling the last few games, but she did a great job of attacking tonight and getting to the free throw line," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "She left everything out there tonight."
The Vandals fall to 12-14 overall and 9-6 in the Western Athletic Conference with the loss, their second straight, while LA Tech improves to 12-13 overall and 8-6 in WAC play.
"It's a disappointing way to lose," Newlee said. "We've got to defend better, rebound better and shot the ball better and not let it come down to that. I liked our resilience tonight, we came out with a lot of heart and desire in a tough environment."
Idaho's late one-point lead was its only second-half lead and its first lead since 5-4 with 18:00 to play in the first half.
Idaho senior Jessica Graham scored 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting and added seven rebounds. Freshman Ali Forde had seven points and six rebounds, and sophomore Krissy Karr finished with seven assists and three boards. Junior Alyssa Charlston, Idaho's leading scorer and rebounder this season, fouled out with five points and two rebounds, going 1-of-8 from the field in 19 minutes.
The Vandals shot 34.5 percent from the field, and matched their season-low with four 3-pointers, going 4-for-23 from long range. Idaho is now 0-10 on the season when shooting less than 35.0 percent from the field.
LA Tech shot 40.0 percent from the field in the game, and each team had 43 rebounds in the game. The Lady Techsters, however, out-scored Idaho 36-24 in the paint, 10-5 off turnovers and 10-6 on the second chance. Brittany Lewis led the Lady Techsters with 18 points, while Frazier finished with 17 points and nine boards.
Despite a tough night shooting, the Vandals stayed close at the free throw line, going 18-of-22 from the line while LA Tech got to the line just 15 times and converted only eight free throws.
The Vandals have 11 days off before their next game, when they host UTSA on Feb. 28. Idaho's final home game of the season is March 2 when Texas State visits the Cowan Spectrum, and the Vandals wrap up the regular season at Seattle U on March 9. The WAC tournament is March 12-16 in Las Vegas, Nev.

Seattle author Richelle Mead has only written one young adult series. Her others also involve the supernatural: the Georgia Kincaid series about a reluctant succubus and Dark Swan with otherworldly suitors stalking a shaman.
But her most dedicated fans are into the Vampire Academy series, which we actually think is a lot cooler than books with similar themes...cough cough Diaries and Twilight.
Mead's newest in the series, Last Sacrifice, came out last week. On Wednesday, she'll be at the Main Library to sign copies and meet fans.
Richelle Mead meet 'n' greet 7 p.m. Dec. 15 Main Library, 210 E. 400 South, SLC Click here for info
Last Sacrifice is the sixth in a story about two races of warring vampires the Maroi (who wield elemental magic) and the Strigoi (evil ones who love killing). Rose, confidante to a Maroi princess, is training to defend the race against the Strigoi and romances with her instructor.
Here's the trailer for the new book:

The Arkansas County Extension Cooperative Services, located in DeWitt, has named James Mahan, an Ozark, Ark., native, as the a new agriculture agent for Arkansas County.
Mahan, who was a home school high school graduate, is unique because he wasn't raised on a farm, as many of the county agriculture or cooperative services employees are.
"I was very active in the 4-H program as I was growing up," Mahan said. "I raised goats and hogs as 4-H projects."
Mahan, who also graduated from the College of the Ozarks in Branson, Mo., in December 2012 with a degree in agriculture business, said he did have some experience on a farm because his best friend's family owned a cattle farm.
"I really enjoyed helping his family out and worked on that farm a lot," Mahan said. "I enjoyed the outdoors part of it."
Mahan said he is willing to go to all of the meetings, classes and workshops to learn all he can to perform his job here on the Grand Prairie.
"He is very knowledgeable and a quick learner," Ana Hollis, Arkansas County Extension Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences, said. "He is eager to learn."
Hollis said for his age, he has already stepped up after being at the job for only two weeks, because he has already taken soil samples for the local farmers and met many of them.
"I know I am right here in rice country," Mahan said. "There are other crops, but there is a lot of rice."

Heath Ledger's father saddened by Ryan Corr's drug arrest
HEATH LEDGER's father has expressed his sadness after the actor who received his son's scholarship fund was arrested on suspicion of drug possession.
Rising star Ryan Corr, who appears in Russell Crowe's upcoming movie The Water Diviner, is facing a drug possession charge after police officers in Sydney, Australia allegedly caught him smoking heroin.
He was given a huge career boost in 2011 when he was named the recipient of the Heath Ledger Scholarship Award, which is named in honor of the late Australian actor and funded by famous benefactors including the star's former partner Michelle Williams, Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman.
Ledger's father Kim, who is a patron of his son's scholarship fund, has now spoken of his disappointment following news of Corr's arrest.
He says, "It does make me sad to hear that because we have enough problems with alcohol and drugs... I have some empathy for what happens around that situation with families but very little empathy for people that put it in their own mouth. We do what we can to help people but we're not involved in the proactive side of it."
Ledger was just 28 years old when he died from an accidental prescription drug overdose in 2008. Previous winners of the scholarship include Dark Shadows star Bella Heathcote and James Mackay.

I love Chuckles! Not only is the name so lighthearted and cute, but they're awfully tasty. I first had them a few years ago when I stumbled across one of the single serve packets. What drew me to them immediately was the promise of the licorice jelly. One bite and I was sold. A new Chuckles lover was born!
So imagine my surprise when I saw this bag of Chuckle's jelly rings. I've never seen them packaged like this before, much less in a different shape. My curiosity was immediately piqued. As was my craving for ample licorice rings. I eagerly brought them home with me.
Opening the bag, I was surprised. Firstly, I didn't get any orange rings and only one licorice one. Oh, sadness! And goodness, these things are big! A good inch across at least and 1/3 inch tall. The colors are intense and feel heavy in my palm. Taking my first bite, the texture is extremely thick and chewy for a jelly. It's really satisfying.
Green: Lime; with a flavor that walks a fine line between fresh, zesty, and floor cleaner.
Yellow: Lemon; bright, fresh and zesty with a nice sweet edge. Very nice.
Red: Cherry; with overpowering floral notes to it, it tastes more flowery than fruity. Somewhat medicinal.
Purple/black: Licorice; oh yum! Has a great deep licorice flavor with a great sweetness.
If I want Chuckles jellies again, I'll go for the single serve package. It's the same flavors, easier to find and I know how many licorice pieces I'll be getting.

The phrase "smart cities" has only emerged in the past few years, yet conferences, companies, citizens, and cities around the globe have become enamored with the concept. After all, who wants to live in a dumb city?
Still, the field has yet to reach consensus on a definition for "smart cities," let alone on how to compare one city to another in the same country, or around the globe.
As a researcher and consultant, I have been working on two primary initiatives to resolve these issues. The first, as reported here in December, was the development of the Smart Cities Wheel, a holistic tool for developing and implementing smart cities strategies:
The other initiative I have been working on is a benchmarking project. The first of these was published in January 2012, before the Smart Cities Wheel was developed, using data gathered across a range of categories. The result was the first global ranking of its kind.
After developing the Smart Cities Wheel, I expanded the sources of data I used to benchmark cities. This resulted in a need to regionalize the ranking because many data sources did not allow for easy comparison across different regions.
Thus, I recently published the top 10 ranking of European smart cities and more recently a top 10 ranking of North American smart cities.
What follows here is my first-ever regional ranking of Asia/Pacific cities, published exclusively with UBM's Future Cities. Below is a table ranking the Top 10 in order, which will be discussed in greater detail in the subsequent pages.
Table 1: The 10 Smartest Cities in Asia/Pacific
One final note: The Asia/Pacific region presents many difficulties for researchers trying to compare cities, due to language differences, differing levels of transparency, and the infrequent existence of inter-regional databases. Despite the challenges, this report is arguably the first data-driven ranking of smart cities in Asia/Pacific. I look forward to your comments and feedback.

VMware vSphere storage virtualization is a combination of vSphere features and APIs that provide an abstraction layer for physical storage resources to be addressed, managed and optimized in a virtualization deployment.
Storage virtualization technology provides a fundamentally better way to manage storage resources for your virtual infrastructure, giving your organization the ability to:
- Improve storage resource utilization and flexibility significantly.
- Simplify operating system patching and driver requirements regardless of storage topology.
- Increase application uptime and simplify day to day operations.
- Leverage and complement your existing storage infrastructure.
About Storage
Storage in a Non-Virtualized Environment
In a non-virtualized environment, servers connect directly to storage, either internal to the server chassis or in an external array. The biggest downside is that a specific server expects complete ownership of the physical device, with an entire disk drive tied to a single server. Sharing storage resources in a non-virtualized environment requires complex file systems or moving away from block-based storage to file-based network-attached storage (NAS).
Datastores and Virtual Machines
A virtual machine is stored as a set of files in its own directory in a datastore, which is a logical container, like a file system, that hides the specifics of each storage device and provides a uniform model for storing virtual machine files. Datastores can also be used for storing ISO images, virtual machine templates and floppy images. They can be backed by either a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) or a Network File System (NFS), depending on the type of storage. A VMFS datastore can be deployed on a SCSI-based local or networked storage device, while an NFS datastore can be deployed on a NAS device.
VMware Virtual Machine File System
VMware vSphere VMFS allows multiple vSphere servers to access shared virtual machine storage concurrently and enables virtualization-based distributed architecture services to operate across a cluster of vSphere servers. It provides the foundation for scaling virtualization beyond the boundaries of a single system.
vSphere supports all common storage interconnects for block-based storage, including direct-attached storage, Fibre Channel, FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and iSCSI. vSphere also supports placing datastores on NAS storage, accessed via an IP network.
Guest OS View of Storage
vSphere greatly simplifies accessing storage from the guest operating system. The virtual hardware presented to a vSphere guest operating system includes a set of common SCSI and IDE controllers, so the guest operating system sees a simple physical disk attached via a standard controller. Presenting a virtualized view of storage to the guest operating system has several advantages, including easier storage management, expanded support and access, and improved efficiency.
Storage Distributed Resources Scheduler (DRS)
Provides intelligent virtual machine placement and load balancing mechanisms based on I/O latency and storage capacity.Read More About Storage Distributed Resources Scheduler
Profile-Driven Storage
Reduces the number of storage resource selection steps by grouping storage according to user-defined policies.Read More About Profile-Driven Storage
Storage vMotion
Performs proactive, non-disruptive storage migrations, eliminating virtual machine storage I/O bottlenecks and freeing up valuable storage capacity.Read More About Storage vMotion
Storage I/O Control
Prioritizes storage access by continuously monitoring the I/O load of a storage volume and dynamically allocating available I/O resources to virtual machines according to business needs.Read More About Storage I/O Control
Virtual Machine File System (VMFS)
Allows multiple vSphere hosts to read and write to the same storage concurrently and supports all common storage interconnects for block-based storage (DASD, Fibre Channel, FCoE, iSCSI and NAS).Read More About Virtual Machine File System
Storage Thin Provisioning
Increases virtual machine storage utilization by enabling dynamic allocation and intelligent provisioning of physical storage capacity.Read More About Storage Thin Provisioning
Storage APIs
Enhances your storage awareness, data protection and array integration and takes advantage of multi-pathing capabilities offered by third-party storage vendors.Read More About Storage APIs
vSphere Flash Read Cache
Virtualizes server-side flash, providing a high performance read cache layer that dramatically lowers application latency. The caching is fully transparent to the VM without requiring any guest agents.Read more about Flash Read Cache
