On Monday, July 1, 1957, Buddy Holly and the Crickets set up their equipment in Clovis, New Mexico, at the Norman Petty Recording Studio to lay down the songs "Peggy Sue," "Oh Boy," "Listen to Me" and "I'm Gonna Love You Too." During the session, they unwittingly had a special guest – a real cricket had found its way into the echo chamber and ended up on two of the songs, "Listen to Me" and "I'm Gonna Love You Too." All attempts at trapping the serendipitous cricket had failed, so they kept the tape rolling.
Holly had brought a song called "Cindy Lou" to Clovis to record. This song eventually became the hit "Peggy Sue." Originally, Holly composed the song using the name "Cindy," after his sister Pat's small daughter; and "Lou," after Pat's middle name. "Cindy Lou" was already being featured in the Cricket's stage set, played to a Latin beat. When the Crickets began rehearsal for the songs, drummer J.I. Allison warmed up with a hard, pounding double paradiddle beat with no cymbals on his snare drum. Holly liked the sound and suggested that they use it on "Cindy Lou" and the band agreed. The custom-built, acoustically perfect walls inside the Petty recording studio magnified the drum beat so much that Allison had to move his drum kit to the reception area of the studio, next to the Coke machine.
As the Crickets started to record the song, they found the words of the song – in essence, about a toddler in pigtails – did not work with the newfound tempo and beat. At the time, Allison was dating a blonde majorette who also played alto saxophone in the Lubbock High School band named Peggy Sue Gerron. Allison wanted to honor his new gal – and future wife – and asked whether they could change the name of the song to "Peggy Sue." Holly agreed, and with a new beat and new girl, the song really took shape – but not without issue.
Initially, Holly struggled playing guitar to the revved up rhythm, as he couldn't get his hand to the pickup selector switch on his Fender Stratocaster without losing the beat. As a workaround, guitarist Niki Sullivan knelt beside Holly during the recording and flipped the switch for him at the appropriate points. Producer Norman Petty was also flipping switches, as he turned the echo chamber's control switch off and on continuously, so that it sounded like there were two drummers playing on the record. With the ingenuity of their recording techniques, the instrumentation and Holly's hiccup-inflected vocals, the song was perfect.
The song was a hit, catapulting to number three on Billboard's pop charts in late 1957 / early 1958. "Peggy Sue" continues to resonate, as it has been covered by a multitude of artists from the Beach Boys to John Lennon to Cobra Starship. Holly was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986; and the Crickets were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. Buddy Holly is featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Cities and Sounds exhibit, in the Rave On – Rock and Roll's Early Years section, which pays tribute to the pioneers who created the sound and style of rock and roll.

By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE – As the elevators opened at the fourth floor of the Huskies football operations center, Chris Petersen and his wife Barbara weren't just smiling. They were beaming.
Those doors opened at 11:25 a.m. Monday, showing the Petersens into their new, unfamiliar life. A few minutes after that, in an office overlooking Husky Stadium's five-month-old field, Petersen signed the memorandum of agreement on a five-year contract that will pay him an average of $3.6 million to be Washington's new coach.
And about 30 minutes after that, just past high noon, four young, shirtless UW alums each with "P-E-T-E" painted in purple on their chests were barking as university president Michael Young introduced the 26th coach in 124 years of Huskies football.
"I need to start by saying how honored, humbled and excited I am to be here," Petersen said, wearing a dark suit and purple, sharply patterned tie. "No question about it."
Those were the first words in 13-plus years as anything other than a coach at Boise State for the 49-year-old Petersen, the only two-time winner of the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award as national coach of the year. The last eight years he had been Boise's head man – until he and Washington created an intense, mutual interest beginning on Tuesday, the day after Steve Sarkisian left UW for USC.
Petersen had said "no thanks" to being chased by USC in recent weeks, plus to Stanford, UCLA and Penn State in recent years. But through his representative, Bennett Speyer, an attorney in Toledo, Ohio, Petersen let Washington know last week he wanted this job.
"Usually, I had no interest in other places," Petersen said later Monday afternoon, standing in front of the two-sided fireplace in his new office overlooking Husky Stadium and Lake Washington.
"This time was different. I was surprised at myself that I was life, 'OK, I am interested in this.'
"I kind of grew up in the Don James era," said the native of Yuba City, Calif., with ties to the Northwest almost ever since. "I've admired this place for so long.
"People keep asking me, 'Why now? You've been at Boise so long.' Two things that keep coming to mind are timing and fit. It was just time. I think every place kind of has a shelf life. … It was just time.
"We'd done some really good things there. For me to take the next step as a coach, as a teacher, as a person, to grow, I needed to take this next step out of that comfort zone over there (in Boise). … I feel like I needed to take a step out of Boise to grow and improve. … It was very comfortable for me to be there, very easy to be there."
Petersen, whose only two losses in 10 games against Pac-12 teams while at Boise State came at UW, pointed out at Husky Stadium to his front.
"And, really, at the end of the day," he said, smiling, "I really can't wait to win a game in this stadium."
Petersen absorbed his worst loss as Boise State's coach on Aug. 31 in Husky Stadium, the perfect, 75-degree night of the new, $281 million venues unveiling after 20 months of renovations. The place was packed, with more than 70,000 roaring so much his Broncos at times couldn't even hear enough to get play off without a penalty.
Better believe that left an impression on Petersen.
"Let me tell you, that's one of the reasons I'm here, and I mean that," he said. "I mean, when you walk into this stadium, this beautiful environment, there's not a better one in college football. And then you pack it with these passionate people in purple? Holy smokes!
"I mean, I was very, very irritated, to tell you the truth. But deep down, I really liked it, because that's what college football should be about. I talk about the fit; that's part of it. I want to be a part of that.
"I mean, this is college football at its finest."
Woodward agreed the new stadium and its 80,000-square-foot football operations center from which Petersen spoke on Monday were "invaluable" in attracting the renowned coach when no one else could.
Woodward said Petersen was the only one to whom he offered the Huskies' head job. The AD said he talked about the search with Alabama coach Nick Saban, who Woodward was with at LSU.
Of the entire, no-sleep endeavor from Monday when Sarkisian suddenly left through Monday's official arrival of Petersen, the Huskies' AD said: "At the end of the day we were successful."
Petersen was 92-12 with two Fiesta Bowl wins to cap undefeated seasons at Boise State. He proclaimed himself "a Northwest guy, I've known this place forever" during the 22-minute press conference that was big enough of a deal to attract former Huskies coach Jim Lambright, coaches from UW's basketball, track and other teams, plus current Husky football players such as Austin Seferian-Jenkins and a live, national-television audience.
"I'm excited about this opportunity, about this challenge. We are going to play smart, fast, physical and unified football, there's no doubt about it," Petersen said, punctuating every adjective with feeling. "We are going to recruit just awesome kids here. We talk about taking young men and turning them into real men. … That's a passion of mine, to really get some guys straight on what a real man is and what a real man looks like and how he plays and how he conducts himself.
"We talk about recruiting OKGs – Our Kind of Guys – that are great character kids, awesome football players, interested in a world-class degree. All of those things will really fit."
Petersen's deal was first presented to him during a meeting between him, UW athletic director Scott Woodward and senior associate AD Jennifer Cohen Thursday night in a 90-minute meeting at a hotel in Boise. It calls for him to earn guaranteed compensation of $3.2 million in 2014, $3.4 million in '15, $3.6 million in '16, $3.8 million in '17 and $4 million in '18. That would have had him 11th in the country, and tops in the Pac-12, per USA Today's annual coaching salary survey entering this season.
The Huskies paid Petersen's buyout of $750,000 to Boise State. UW gave Petersen an additional $500,000 "in the event a tax burden is incurred by you" as a result of the buyout payment.
Petersen can earn an additional $50,000 for reaching the Pac-12 championship game, $100,000 for being the Pac-12 champion, $300,000 for getting Washington into a college football playoff bowl, $400,000 for getting into the new, four-time national playoffs, $450,000 for an appearance in the national championship game or $500,000 for winning the national title. He also can earn an additional $150,000 for making the Alamo or Holiday bowls and $75,000 for any other, non-football-playoff bowl.
President Young cited Petersen's "off-the-charts" winning percentage and academic achievement of his players while at Boise State. To that end, Washington will pay Petersen an additional $50,000 for the Huskies having a team Academic Progress Rate greater than or equal to 950, as defined by the NCAA; $75,000 for an APR of 960 or above; and $125,000 for an APR over 970 or above.
It took only 15 minutes officially on the job for Petersen to get asked if Washington would be his last job.
"You know how hard it was for me to leave Boise?" he said, smiling. "I didn't take this job to go anywhere else. That's not something that's entered my mind, ever. I mean, this is where I want to be. This is where my family (he and Barbara has two boys, and eighth grader and freshman in college) want to be.
"I certainly envision and really hope that I can be here a really long time."
Someone asked if Petersen wants to turn Husky Stadium's turf from green to purple, after years coaching on a blue field to match Boise State's dominant color.
The new coach laughed at that.
"Hey, I'm good for change. This is why I came here," he said. "We had green in our (Boise) indoor facility."
And it wasn't long after that until he got the blunt question: Will you beat Oregon? Petersen beat the Ducks in their only meetings while he was at Boise State, in 2009 in Boise and in 2008 at Autzen Stadium in Eugene.
"Do we have to start that already?" he said, smiling and shaking his head.
"We'll be swinging hard."
Petersen, a former quarterback at UC Davis, has a reputation for trick plays because of memorable, game-winning ones at Boise State. But in fact his offense is rooted in running between the tackles out of spread formations, and on timely passing by accurate quarterbacks. That fits Washington's offense this season of 1,775-yard rusher Bishop Sankey, a finalist for the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back, and Keith Price, UW's departing career leader in completion percentage and touchdown throws.
Petersen said his offense will "probably be some form of the spread" tailored to skills of the quarterback, who "must be an accurate thrower." Current redshirt freshman Cyler Miles, who started last month's 69-27 win at Oregon State when Price was injured, is the heir apparent as Petersen's first Husky quarterback.
Petersen said he will mostly stay out of the way of Huskies interim head coach Marques Tuiasosopo during the ongoing practices leading up to Washington's Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 27 against Brigham Young in San Francisco. He said he will be around if needed.
There is one week left in recruiting before an NCAA-mandated dead period that runs into January. Petersen said he won't rush out over this next week in whirlwind recruiting for the Huskies, because that could lead to mistakes for which the program would pay for years.
Instead he will be spending most of these next weeks finalizing his coaching staff. Woodward said he anticipated all of UW's staff from this season will coach with Tuiasosopo in the bowl game -- minus linebackers coach Peter Sirmon, special-teams and running backs coach Johnny Nansen and defensive backs coach Keith Heyward, who all left with Sarkisian for USC.
Asked if he knew who will be on his 2014 UW staff, Petersen said: "Not yet. Premature to talk to that. We have a plan lined up, but it's not set in stone."
What is set in stone is Petersen's desire to be at Washington, after years of turning many other national powerhouses from Pennsylvania to California down.
"I couldn't be more proud of standing in front of you today," Petersen said.
"It comes down to a gut feel in your heart and stomach. And I felt this is where I needed to be."

With ETSU trailing by a point, Tiggs grabbed an offensive rebound and scored for a one-point lead, only to have the Bulldogs hit a 3-pt field goal for an 87-85 lead. After turnovers by both teams, ETSU tied the game on a lay up with just under six seconds left, and Tiggs then stole the inbounds pass to score the game-winning layup with 1.7 seconds left. He finished the game with a team-high 20 points, his second straight game of at least 20 points.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...

Qiagen has signed separate deals with Insight Genetics, and with Personal Genome Diagnostics, which give the firm exclusive licenses to the cancer-related biomarkers ALK and IDH1/IDH2. The firm in addition confirmed that the Japanese regulatory authority has cleared its therascreen® EGFR Mutation Detection Kit RGQ for use in identifying non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients most likely to benefit from treatment with EGFR-inhibitor drugs. Qiagen's theraScreen KRAS Mutation Detection Kit was approved in Japan in April last year.
The new biomarker deal with Insight Genetics takes the form of a strategic co-development partnership and licensing agreement for a genetic test covering the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) biomarker. Qiagen retains worldwide exclusive rights to its partner's relevant diagnostic IP, and the firms will collaborate on developing a test that can be clinically validated and marketed by Qiagen as a companion diagnostic. The firm says ALK mutations are implicated in NSCLC and other cancers, and a number of ALK inhibitors are in clinical trials. However, it states, the one ALK inhibitor that is already FDA approved is used alongside a diagnostic method that is expensive and technically complicated.
The deal with Personal Genome Diagnostics, effected through Qiagen's Ipsogen subsidiary, gives the firm exclusive rights to IDH1/IDH2 mutations, which Personal Genome Diagnostics claims are associated with brain cancers, acute myelogenous leukemia, and other cancers.
Qiagen says it will use the newly acquired IP to develop assays for research use and for the development of companion diagnostics.

"Family and career are both important to me, so I've built that into how my firm works," says Laura Concannon, 50, who has owned an accounting firm in Baltimore for three years. Anyone on her team can choose to work 9 am to 3 pm to mirror a kid's school day or make up for the longer hours of tax season by taking much of the summer off. And her firm isn't unusual. "With new technology, there's no need to work insane hours anymore," says Concannon. "The computers do our number crunching now, so our focus is on client relationships, which is what most of us find most rewarding."
This trend is set to continue. "In the next five to seven years, the flexibility offered in accounting will take a big leap in terms of opportunities to work remotely and variable hours," says Mary Bennett of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. "Everyone is asking for this. Younger people are saying, 'Yes, I want to telecommute or take a two-year sabbatical and come back where I left off'—and providing these options is helping employers attract and retain talent."
A CPA designation also provides you with the flexibility to work in a field you're passionate about and move among a wide range of industries (think: casinos, major-league sports teams, fashion and finance), since pretty much everyone needs someone to do the books. "This also provides good job security, because you can jump from a failing industry, like banking, to health care, which is booming," says Bennett. "Some accountants chart a clear path to CFO or even CEO." Adds Concannon: "The opportunities to steer your career are really endless."

Lateral hypothalamic area neurotransmission and neuromodulation of the specific cardiac effects of insular cortex stimulation
Microstimulation of the rat posterior insular cortex in phase with the ECG R wave elicits pure cardiac effects unaccompanied by changes in blood pressure or respiration. This technique has successfully demonstrated cardiac chronotropic organisation and arrhythmogenesis within the insula. Pathways ex...
We tested the hypothesis that Substance P (SP) produces the same effects as cocaine by examining their actions on excitatory synaptic transmission in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). SP produced an irreversible depression of non-NMDA receptor mediated EPSC: EC50:0.12 uM; maximal suppression: −33.4 ± ...
Cocaine sensitization does not alter SP effects on locomotion or excitatory synaptic transmission in the NAc of rats
Substance P (SP) and cocaine employ similar mechanisms to modify excitatory synaptic transmission in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a region implicated in substance abuse. Here we explored, using NAc slices, whether SP effects on these synaptic responses were altered in rats that have been sensitized ...
The present study was aimed at investigating the efficacy and mechanism(s) of action of a Chinese herbal formulation, Liuwei Dihuang (LWDH), as a prospective natural weight-lowering product.

Post subject: THE SOLDIER'S GIRL rating v. sensual first chapter
Hello to everyone
If anyone is interested in stories set in Australia, from the Kimberley to the wilderness mountains of Tasmania, may I present my newest release at CHAMPAGNE BOOKS and hope you find the excerpts entertaining.
Set in rural Victoria, at the very southern edge of mainland Australia
Bryce has forsaken everything, even Kate, the love of his life since childhood, and all for the sake of his career in medicine. His obsession is not for fame or money, but to bring health to underprivileged, indigenous children in the far remote regions of Northern Australia.
Frank, the returned war hero from Iraq, wants Kate because he cant have her. She still loves Bryce. But the brutality of war has twisted Franks mind and hell stoop to anything to snare her love.
Will Bryce and Kate ever find a way through the heartache that their separate ways has brought them? Or will they have to accept that the bonds they forged as children were not meant to last into adulthood.
Chapter 1
Wakefulness brought realisation and with it, the grim reality that today was make or break time.
Katherine Morgan rose and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. On silent bare feet, she padded across the bedside carpet and polished wooden floor to the window. She flung it wide to the sweet morning air of Dongala and breathed in its purity. The small rural town in Victoria, with its green, gently sloping hills, was located at the very bottom edge of Australia. The earthy smell of freshly turned soil, abundant-flowing rivers, sheep, dairy cattle and vast fields of waving grain; these were things that made her hometown so special. But today, her spirits sagged depressingly; the decision she had to make would influence the rest of her life and her stomach clutched in cold anticipation. If only shed left things as they were, then, life would still be simple and uncomplicated.
The five councillors from the Dongala City Council, gathered at the apron of the dirt airstrip. Kate stood with the crowd gathered in the small building that served as an airport lounge. There was an atmosphere of festivity as the buzz of chatter mingled with the sounds from outside where the school band practiced with brash notes on bagpipes and drums. Frank Davis, Dongalas sole but proud contribution to Australias efforts in the Iraq war, was coming home on leave today.
In all the hustle and bustle, Kate spotted Bryce Collard and her heart leapt until reality smacked her flat in the face. She watched him stop to talk to people. Well-liked, they were glad to see him, and with eager smiles on their faces, they clapped him on the back in affection.
She willed herself to remain calm despite her foolishly racing heart. After last night she must not show her emotions, not ever again. She hung back in the area of the airport lounge that was marked OFFICE and though she was making every effort to put the final touches to the welcome home banner shed been working on, her trembling fingers hampered her to the point of being a fumbling mess.
Funny, how things had just happened; Bryce was in Dongala, too. He and Frank had been best mates since their school days and it was fitting that he be here on this special occasion.
Been a long time since the boys first went away.
Kate turned. It was Mr. Collard, Bryces father. Stooped and gaunt after his long bouts of illness, he leaned on the work-bench she was working at.
Hello Mr. Collard, nice to see you out and about, Kate smiled.
Mr. Collard turned and, better to brace himself, rested his behind against the bench. Bryce, my dear boy, insisted I come and join in the celebration.
Yes. Ten years in fact, Kate continued. Soon after they left high school.
Aye, Kate. Both lads set off to carve out the careers they aspired to. Barely twenty at the time. Bryce gone off to study medicine in Melbourne and then, to specialise in paediatrics in America.
Kate gave him a glance as he reminisced quietly, but his tone and eyes bursting with pride.
He shook his head. That long time gone, it knocked me up some, I can tell you, he sighed. Still, I admire his commitment, and Im proud of him.
Kate studied the drawn and saddened face. Everybody knew only too well how close father and son had been, and how Bryce leaving home had devastated his father.
And Frank gone off to join the army, her voice took on a keen edge, in the hope of changing the subject and softening the hurt in his eyes. But bar a faint smile in politeness, she knew it hadnt worked.
No. She too, still recalled that time with a heavy heart. From as far back as she could remember shed worshipped Bryce and still did, but hed never shown any more than a shared-childhood interest in her. He thought of nothing but being a doctor. His obsession was not for fame or money but to bring health to the indigenous children in Northern Australia. Now he was back, albeit one of his rare visits, with his father the only reason. He hadnt changed much. Except for the tan derived from the tropical Queensland sun, and it only served to enhance his masculinity. Tall and broad-shouldered, with deep-blue, smiling eyes that matched the smile on his lips, gave him the kind of sensuality that women found hard to resist. And as hed always done, he wore it all with such ease, as though he wasnt even aware of how his maleness could have had such a devastating effect on the female gender.
Kate risked another glance at Bryce. Hed stopped to talk to one of the councillors and was now coming toward her. The very sight of him brought back that old longing that refused to be extinguished. His dark, short-clipped hair revealing his small well-shaped ears and the turn of that handsome jaw was held in a strong and determined line. Bryce was a stunning contrast to Franks boyish good looks. A blast of red hair and brown eyes with pinpoints of mischief dancing in them. But in Bryces long absences it was the gregarious Frank who displayed more than a platonic keenness in her and gradually hed helped her heal from the loss of Bryce, at least, cushion its sharpness, and theyd started going together.
Well, Franks plane is due, so, Ill go wait outside with the others, Mr. Collard said, standing up and dusting off the seat of his pants. Come visit some time Kate, it would be lovely to see you.
Thank you, Id love that, she smiled and watched him walk away, then made another assault on the last of the gold cords she was working with.
Hello Kate.
She stiffened at the sound of that deep clear voice. She looked up, way up, and into that brilliant smile.
Bryce, she responded quietly, her voice barely a quiver riding up from a throat that was so stricken with mixed feelings, it caught and choked.
Bryce studied her face. He understood how she felt about the whole sorry situation, because hed been there with her, too. A short but deeply poignant situation, that didnt die just because they had ended it the night before.
The banner done? he said, idly as though that was all that mattered, while his gut ached as if hed been hit hard, right in the solar-plexus. I was told to collect it from here. I wasnt aware that you
Still smarting from their long and painful parting of the night before, she returned sharply. Yes, Im the one getting the thing together. She could hide her anger and pain from him but not her passion and if she didnt watch out, it would be her undoing, so, she was glad of the moment they snatched to lapse into silent reflection, each of their own hurt.
To indulge his long-denied love for this woman whod always tortured him with her gentle charm. The innocence of it. Every move she made, the way she walked, the smoky tone of her voice. The delicate bone structure of her face, the evocative aroma of her hair and the breath-taking seduction of breasts, now truly a womans, thrusting erotically against the soft silk of her blouse. He gave a short laugh that he hoped would disguise his own painful emotions. Seems like only yesterday that we were all still at school, and look at Frank now. A war hero, he remarked, with naked pride in his old friend.
Kate knew he was trying to keep the conversation on a safe level but it wasnt that easy for her. Frank and you were good mates, she said, a little too brightly. You still are! she plunged on, with unexpected vehemence.
Bryce swallowed hard, he knew what she was getting at but he wouldnt rise to it. Hed just let the ensuing pause linger without further comment that he knew, would only erupt into a heart-breaking scene.
Kate worked at the banner a little more furiously. No, he wasnt going to let anything destroy that mate-ship and she realised the thought of it was stirring her to fury born of frustration. She had to stay calm and to achieve that, she might as well talk.
All those years ago, Frank became restless after you left. Thats why he joined the army. Did he ever tell you? He wanted to serve his country. Do something worthwhile. Like you. You two always stuck up for each other she broke off, and the piteous way shed strung all those sentences together, brought Bryce close to breaking his resolve to let her go from his life.
You were precious to us too. Five years younger, we always looked out for you.
Precious? A moment of hope soared in her heart then it came crashing down again, like a dying man in a desert who thinks hes seen water. No. It wasnt the precious she yearned for. How could I forget? she said, brushing aside her disappointment. The way you sailed into that big Buckley boy who tried to grab me at the high school party
Bryces arms ached at his sides, he was hardly able to restrain his desire to drag her into his embrace, press her to his heart and hold her there. Her gaze fused with his and he was on a collision of guilt and desire. I couldnt stand anyone else even touching you, he said, his voice unusually rough.
Those were good days, Kate smiled, pretending she didnt care. Along with the other kids wed all go swimming and fishing together and those football games wed cheer you and Frank on until we were hoarse.
His presence was elating her and she felt the stir of stimulation, a gentle pulse within the sensitive part below her belly, so heady and warm. She cast her eyes down. She had to refrain from the bittersweet pleasure of brushing against him, as he stood not two feet away. Bryce, I loved you even then. Didnt you know? she said, her eyes slowly lifting to meet his, and in their bleakness, she saw his bared soul. It made her want to cry.
Bryce bit on his bottom lip. Lying to her would solve nothing. He might just as well tell her the truth.
I loved you Kate, I still do.
Kate snapped her glance away. Got a funny way of showing it, she said, brusquely. She knew if she didnt, her voice would tremble and hed know how she was hurting. She didnt want that. She kept working, harder than she needed to, her fingers flying and finally, the last few inches of gold cord were set in place and knotted.
Take it and go, she said, thrusting the banner rudely at him as though she couldnt wait for him to be gone. But oh, God, she ached for him to hold her, even just to touch herbut the mere brush of his fingers against hers, as he took the banner, made her shiver, and that would have to suffice.
Kate, he pleaded. Try to be happy.
A frown marred her smooth forehead and she snapped. Happy? Did I hear you say happy?
He set the banner aside and reached out. With a firm grip of her shoulders he pulled her forward and lifted her chin up to his face. He had no desire to inflict more wounds on her. Breaking up something that hadnt even had a chance to beginit was already tearing them both apart. Katie, Ive told you my darling, how things are
She twisted and jerked, trying to break away from those steel-like fingers.
How dare you call me Katie, as if you still cared, and dont call me darling either, you dont love me. You never did. Thats why you went away the first time, ten years go and barely kept in touch.
I came back during holidays.
Not always.
We had some good times
Good times? Yes, until you went to America, and then then just silence I never heard from you Bryce she sobbed. I waited for you for so long
You know why I couldnt keep contact.
Kate used the heel of her palm to swipe the hot tears that stung her eyes. Too much to do, you had to study too hard, what else? Her jealous rage blazed her to fury. Another girl? Her eyes flared as the words ripped from her soul. A sweet American chick?
She was beautiful in her rage and it made his gut tighten, his pulse quicken, destroying the very fibre of his resolve. For Gods sake, you know better than that.
Then why didnt you ever tell me, ask me to wait, anything to show you cared?
Kate! Weve been through all that, last night.
So, well go though it again.
Oh, Kate, I did tell you. I told you, long ago. I loved you, but my career would not take the stress of a marriage. The silence was electric as she heard again, the words shed hoped would wear thin over time and hed realise that it was her who mattered more than his career. But she was wrong. His voice grew low and gentle. Once I left here, Kate, I left everything behind.
He heard the little choke in her throat and it tore him apart. He stood motionless, until the hollow sensation he felt in his chest made him draw a deep breath. Kate he sighed, his gaze deep and penetrating but she swung away.
Listen! His voice was firm as was the grip of his fingers on her arms.
Damn it, Kate. Hold still and listen! he snapped, his tone quieting her. She caught his stare and she was held, fixed, her eyes unable to move from his commanding gaze. Committing to a relationship might have cost me my degree. I couldnt afford distraction. And you were one hell of a distraction.
And now, Doctor Collard, she emphasized with sarcasm, now, that you have your degree and even been practicing for some time, youve achieved all you set out to do but you still reject me. Why did you come back? I cant believe it was only because of your father. Wasnt it me, too? Admit it Bryce. You know we are in love. Deep down, you know we always have been. Why do you want to deny it?
Bryce had no way of hiding the raw look in his eyes it was there for her to see. I dont. God knows how much I love you.
You love me but you dont want me. Just a little interlude these past two weeks making sure you fill in your time before going back
What? His face went slack with disbelief. Is that what you think? Horrified, he stared at her for what seemed like forever and she shifted uncomfortably, her eyes fixed with that unshakable gaze.
He longed to tell her he wanted her beneath him, his fantasy sweeping him away on an intoxicating experience. Tell her how crazy he was for her, how he ached to caress her, to pull her legs to him, part her thighs and drive into her with every urge that obsessed him, every act of carnal love. That unique something kept in reserve for that one special woman. His voice was raw. Thats not true Kate, and you know damn well that its not. Dont you understand? Its not just my work. Its Frank I cant betray Frank. I told you that last night. Hes my oldest and best mate and you are his girl, youre getting engaged to him on this leave. How can I just butt in and steal you from him?
Kate drew in a sharp breath and her eyes swept past him down to the ground. His words were like a bucket of ice water in her face. She knew he was right but there was nothing she could say. She felt cheated, defeated and all she could do was slump helplessly against him. No. They couldnt betray Frank. It all hurt so much until she let out that sob she was trying so desperately to hold. So, youve been fooling me, over these past weeks. A little fun to pass the time in Dongala, is that it?
No Kate. Dont keep saying things like that. All the years of pent-up emotions just had to break sometime. Seeing you day after day, first meeting by accident, then coffee at the café, chatting about old times together, how could it not? I was going crazy with hunger for you.
A pang of guilt struck at Kate. In her desperation to flesh out what Bryce really felt, shed been the one to initiate their meetings. She had to know before he went away again. In her desperation, shed led him on, all during these two weeks. Strolls in the park, coffee at the café. Even making sure that they had in, his favourite cakeBattenberg. Any little thing to remind him of old times and lure him, and now, now things were even worse than ever before.
And so, now youll go back to your remote bush clinic, she said softly, in a manner and tone that spelled resignation. I dont come into your scheme of things. I never have done.
Its hard enough, Kate, dont make it worse for either of us.
Her eyes still implored, even now at this last moment. Bry, she cajoled, we could tell him the truth and then go away together.
And break his heart? A man who has to face guns and bombs and sneaking marauders? His life always on the line? Should I be taking his girl, too? He searched her face and considered his question. He has said he intends asking you to get engaged this leave?
She nodded. Told you last night.
Kate sought his eyes and pinned them with her own agonizing gaze. Noble gesture, not breaking Franks heart. And what about my heart, Bryce? Your heart? The only reason this situation exists at all is because you made no commitments and I thought I could never have you, so when Frank showed he cared... She twisted her hands in frustration and a very long silence spun out until she spoke tiredly, and with a kind of submission. He wanted me and you didnt.
So, you took up with him. It was more of a statement than an accusation.
Of course, she said, stiffly. Did you expect that I should hang about forever waiting for you? Anyway, its too late. Theres too much between us now, I guess. Its mum, too. She needs care after her heart-attack, so theres that to be considered as well.
Yes, I guess there is that. She took your dads death pretty hard.
Kate nodded. And, I cant just dump her or hand her over to her sister. I love her too much. In any case, Aunt Mae lives in Darwin, too far to drag her away from all she knows
Yes. I realise that, he said, and his frustration was so strong in his voice it broke with the strain of it.
Kate couldnt hold back her grief anymore. She tried desperately to steady her trembling lip but with little success, and tears surfaced, rivulets trickling down her face. Bryce caught her up in his arms, smoothing her hair over and over. That beautiful mass of sunshiny-gold, still unchanged since she was a little girl who followed him around everywhere and he, always glad to see her tagging along. Kate, please dont cry.
Why did it all happen this way, Bryce? Why have we been brought together at all if fate decrees otherwise?
Pain and disappointment fused and emerged from some secret depth of him as though the enormity of what hed left undone, until it was too late, now tore him apart. I dont know, Kate. All I know is that youre sweet and sensitive, too sweet and sensitive to be hurt any more.
You want me to forget you, but I never will. Ill learn to love Frank. Hes a decent man and cares a lot for me too, but no man will ever replace you Bryce, not ever. When you are alone at night with your thoughts and memories, remember that, and how you hurt me.
As much as I will be remembering the woman I could have had as my wife, but whom I let slip away, and she now belongs to my best friend. The thick husky quality of his voice was the product of his agony, the syllables shaking on his breath, each drenched in its own pain.
Kate hated the way Bryce could make her feel and hated herself for being unable to take that burning ache for him and turn it into hate. Overwhelmed by the hurt she felt, another sob broke from her.
Hush, Kate, he soothed, please dont cry. Still stroking her hair he murmured little tender things in her ear until her sobbing subsided to tiny sharp in-takes of breath. Bryce framed her face in his hands, sweet and childlike in its purity, it hurt when he saw her pretty mouth tremble and tears shimmering in those appealing grey eyes that had always tugged at his heart. His thumbs trailed the dampness all the way down her cheeks to her moist mouth and gently snagging her lower lip, he kissed between her teeth and the soft flesh within. Oh, Kate, if only
If only, she murmured, against the warmth of his mouth, shaping the soft contours of her body to fit into the hard firm lines of his. She nuzzled into his chest quivering with the fire he was igniting within her and growing wet. She grazed her fingers down his chest and the side of his pectoral muscle. It flexed at her touch and she curled her fingers in the crop of chest hair. Youre beautiful, so beautiful. I love you, Bry, she breathed, almost to herself. But still smouldering with desire, reluctantly, she pulled gently, away. Yes. The world is full of if onlys, Bryce. Pity they come when its too late.
He stared, dumbfounded. Whispered words that delivered a world of impact on him and when he heard the muffled tone of his mobile phone, instinctively, without much interest, he lifted it from his back pocket.
Doctor Bryce Col
Kate watched his face become grave as his sentence slid away. Hell! That bad? Isnt Tom there? How about Jimmy?
His face clouded as he picked up Kates questioning gaze. His arm went out and drew her back into him. Yes, he spoke against the mobile. Ill be backyes! he said, with a good measure of impatience. Ive told you, Ill be back. Keep him cool and comfortable Yes. Get the flying doctor, if necessary. Another silence spun out and then he switched the small machine off with concern knitting his eyebrows.
Kate eased away as she spoke, studying his face. News from the clinic?
A little boy I was treating. The eyebrows relaxed but lines of concern still etched his face. Hes taken a turn for the worse.
And nobody else is available, is there, Bryce? You must go The words were sarcastic but without the malice. She saw in his face the agony of a bitter decision merge with concern as he replied.
The work-bench lent support for Kate to rest on as she felt her behind soft against its surface. Her gaze travelled to the floor and her shoes seemed to take on new interest. She waved a foot absently, the ache in her heart a familiar one. She knew what would be the outcome of that phone callshed always known. Well, that just about wraps it up then, for you and me. The ghost of pain brushed across her face and released regret, its usual companion, into her eyes. It seems impossible that we can have any future together.
Bryce captured her gaze, his eyes seeking understanding. Kate they depend on me He stopped as though in considered thought and a flutter of hope rose in her heart. Hell, Kate, even that, that means so much to me, Id give up for you, if it came to the push but
The half-spoken sentence hung in the air and Kate knew from the look in his eyes that her moment of elation was about to crashshe was beaten. In a quiet voice she finished his sentence for him. But, nothing will induce you to betray your best mate
The plane arrived a half-hour later and Kate watched it land, taxi along the runway, crawling slowly, to a stop. The banner was up with its gold-lettered WELCOME HOME FRANK aimlessly flowing back and forth in the sluggish wind. In moments the door of the plane swung open and right on queue, the school band exploded into Waltzing Matilda.
Frank, the hero from the Iraq war made his appearance at the top of the steps and Kates heart dropped to her toes.

Catholic Charities Community Services of Orange County, NY joined forces with the Orange County Bicycle Club on Sunday, September 16, for The Ride With the Camels, a 10-to-62-mile ride through forested ridges and rolling farmland that celebrated open space in Orange County, NY.
The event was named after a large pasture that bikers pedaled past that is filled with a herd of grazing camels. They were rescued after movie, advertising, and circus careers by the Sanctuary for Animals, and they live on the farm with hundreds of other rescued animals of different species. The hills, riders say, remind them of the camels' humps so they saluted them as they rode by.
Proceeds from event celebrated open space in Orange County Proceeds and benefited Catholic Charities of Orange County, NY, the Orange County Land Trust, and the Sanctuary for Animals.

As the 2013-14 season has come to a close, Sun Devil athletics has seen its programs break many records, including one that has no win-loss record: serving the local community.
Now that's a win-win!
This year, the Sun Devil Athletics' student-athletes and staff have served nearly a quarter of a million community members over the span of more than 6,000 hours.
What can you do in 6,000 hours? Here are a few options:
Take 3428.5 trips to that town down I-10.
Walk from Tempe to New York City 7.59 times.
Relive ASU football's 2013 season (including its Pac-12 South title and Territorial Cup victories) over 128 times.
Serving the community is one of the key pillars of the Sun Devils Athletics Way. In an effort to continue the program's growth, ASU has served 11.7% more community members compared to last year, and added an astonishing 35.3% more hours to that of the 2012-13 campaign.
Since statistics on service began being recorded in 2010-11, ASU has increased its service by 143.56% and dedicated 309.22% more hours.
Some of the community service performed by ASU student-athletes in 2013-14 included the Phoenix Children's Hospital, Sparky's Tour, United Way, Pat's Run, Yuma Food Bank, Operation Fix It, St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance, and traveling to the Hopi and Navajo Nations in Tuba City and the San Carlos Apache Nation in San Carlos, Ariz.

The first time you start Windows Media Center, it looks for media files in the Music, Pictures, and Videos libraries on your computer. Through these libraries, you can control which songs, movies, and other media appear in Media Center.
There are two ways to do this:
From outside of Media Center, add or remove folders in Windows libraries (for more information, see Working with libraries). When you add or remove a folder, the change is reflected in Media Center.
From within Media Center, add or remove folders that you want Media Center to monitor for media files. When you add or remove a folder, the change is reflected in your Windows library.
Each time you open Media Center, it looks for media files in the your Music, Pictures, and Videos libraries, and in the Recorded TV library (usually located at C:\Users\Public). If you add or delete a file in any of those folders, the content that appears in Media Center is automatically updated.
For information about the file types that are compatible with Media Center, see File types supported by Windows Media Center.
On the Windows Media Center start screen, scroll to Tasks, and then click Settings.
Click Media Libraries.
Click the type of media that you want to add (such as Music), and then click Next.
Click Add folders to the library, and then click Next.
Depending on where your media files are stored, click one of the options under Where are the folders you want to add?, and then click Next.
When you've selected all the folders that you want Media Center to monitor, click Next, click Yes, use these locations, and then click Finish.
After you've finished adding files, it might take several minutes for the files to appear in the libraries.
Under Where are the folders you want to add?, if you select On another computer to add a folder from a network, and Media Center doesn't detect the folder, try mapping the folder as a network drive. To learn how, see Create a shortcut to (map) a network drive. After you do this, you might be able to access the folder in Media Center by clicking On this computer (includes mapped network drives) in Media Library.
If you delete an album from your Music library in Media Center, but choose the Library Only option when deleting, the album will only be removed from Media Center—it will not be deleted from where it's stored. You can add the album back to Media Center by removing the parent folder from the Music library then adding it again.
If you have media on a removable device, such as a USB flash drive or a digital camera, you can import the media directly to your computer. When you do this, the files will be stored in the My Pictures folder in Windows.
Connect your removable device to your computer. (Cameras and most other removable devices are usually connected to a USB port.)
In the dialog that appears, click Import pictures and videos.
If you want to change the name of the folder where your media will be stored, type a new name.
Click Import. Media Center will copy the files to your My Pictures folder.
If you have video files in addition to pictures on your removable device, they'll be imported to the My Pictures folder. To see them in the Video library in Media Center, you'll need to manually move them to the My Videos or Public Videos folder in Windows Explorer. For more information, see Managing your videos.
If you store media on certain types of removable drives (such as external USB hard drives), you'll need to add them manually to see them in Media Center.

Lisa Boyce, Nikki Larson Shares Final Thoughts Before NCAA Championships
Lisa Boyce, Nikki Larson Discuss NCAA Championship Journey
Senior Lisa Boyce and sophomore Nikki Larson have both left the frigid temperatures in Princeton, N.J., and made their Spring Break trip to an even colder spot. Of course, they couldn't wait to get to Minneapolis, Minn., where the best swimmers in the NCAA will be heating up the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.
Both will represent Princeton this week at the 2014 NCAA Championships, held March 20-22 at the University of Minnesota. You can find the schedule, links for live scoring and video, and plenty more by accessing the NCAA Championship Central link atop the page.
Boyce, a nine-time individual Ivy League champion and the Career High Point Swimmer at the 2014 Ivy Championships, will compete in the 50 free, the 100 fly and the 100 free during her final collegiate meet. This will be her first year competing in the 100 fly at NCAAs, though she enters this meet ranked higher in that event (13th) than either of the other two.
Boyce has a Top 30 time in the 50 free, and she is 42nd in the 100 free. Boyce improved on her seed in the 100 free last year, when she reached the consolation final to earn her first All-America honor.
"I am so proud of Lisa getting invited to the NCAA Championships for the third year in a row," assistant coach Suzanne Yee said. "She did a great job of training through all of our 'bigger' meets this year, and trusted the process that will allow her to swim even faster in two weeks. With minimal rest, she set times early on in her events that she improved upon with even less rest for the Ivy Championships and for the ECAC meet.
"The fact that one of her highest ranked events is the 100 fly — where she holds the school record — is a testament to how talented she is, as it is an event she swims 1-2 times a year. She is the most prepared mentally this season, and will hopefully make the most of her last meet as a Tiger."
While Boyce is preparing for her final NCAA Championships, Larson earned a ticket to her first Championships. A native of Edina, Minn., she will be competing in the 100 and 200 fly at a venue only a few miles from home. Larson, the Ivy champion in the 100 fly, is currently ranked 34th in that event, and she is ranked 46th in the 200 fly.
"Nikki's invitation to the NCAA Championships comes as no surprise, as she is a talented swimmer who will continue to improve in her remaining time as a Tiger," Yee said. "She has done a great job all year with her preparation for her championship swims. One of the things we emphasize on our team is swimming fast at the end of the year, and Nikki did just that in winning the 100 fly at the Ivy Championships in the time that got her invited.
"Nikki being invited marks the most swimmers we have had at the NCAA Championships in quite some time, and it is a great homecoming for Nikki, as she grew up in Minnesota," Yee added. "The presence of another athlete will definitely assist both women having a great experience at the meet."

Practicum Courses
Practicum courses offer students an opportunity to work on projects or cases under the direction of a supervising attorney, while studying law in action in an associated seminar. These courses provide a wonderful opportunity for students to become substantive experts on a particular topic, cultivate a range of skills, and begin to develop a professional identity. They allow students to build networks that can be tapped for future internships and jobs. And they foster in students the confidence they need to work as lawyers upon graduation. In these ways, practicum courses serve as a bridge between the law school classroom and the legal profession.
Practicum courses take one of two forms: students are placed in fieldwork consistent with the subject matter of the course or students work on a project with their teacher, a practicing lawyer in the field. The practicum includes a seminar that uses the students' experience as text and
prepares students for their work experiences—by familiarizing them with the relevant substantive frameworks (both legal and non-legal), as well as the skills they will employ (again, both legal and non-legal). Students reflect on their work experiences in a supportive classroom environment with professors and classmates who are engaged in similar professional undertakings.
The practicum program benefits tremendously from Georgetown Law's location in Washington D.C. and its connection to experts who are willing to bring students into their work. We offer a practicum on mediation, for example, in which students are trained, supervised and act as mediators on cases filed with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel. Other practicum students conduct research for a member of the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Students use specialized technology to develop legal apps to assist various governmental and non-governmental organizations in their work. And students are placed within a number of different congressional offices on Capitol Hill and study how law is made in the companion seminar.

Duchesne Ridge
Intermediate/advanced hike with a nice three-mile uphill followed by a single track downhill, so pack a snack.
Distance: 13 miles, round trip
Elevation gain: 1,500 feet
Time: Two to three hours (brisk pace)
Trail: Starts on country road and takes you through singletrack.
Who you'll see: Some mountain bikers, some cross-country skiers (in the right season), some runners. In other words: Everyone.
How to get there: Highway 248 to Kamas. State Route 32 east. Go 15 miles till you see the sign for Mill Hollow. Try not to play the Deliverance theme on your way out. You'll get scared. Park at Mill Hollow reservoir. Hunters like this area, too, so fall might not be the best time to hike. So go right now, and take advantage of what's left of the summer.
Eco-conscious: Plenty of plastic bottles/beer cans to pick up around the start/finish area.
Best time of year to go: This trail is pretty deserted year-round (P.S. Hike with a friend on this one).
Apres-hike: Uinta Cutthroat at Blue Boar Inn, 435-654-1400

ZF-10560: Add 'memcached' Support to Zend_Cache_Backend
Zend_Cache_Backend does not support Memcached from the 'memcached' extension side. This has been brought up several times, however, I have one called "Memcached2" that provides the memcached extension availability. This was somewhat forked from the current Zend_Cache_Backend_Memcached, with some slight modifications to support what Memcached does.
This has the same tests that the current Zend_Cache_Backend_Memcached does and passes all of them.
Attached is the patch file.
Patch for Memcached2.
Changes: M tests/TestConfiguration.php.dist M tests/Zend/Cache/SkipTests.php M tests/Zend/Cache/AllTests.php A tests/Zend/Cache/Memcached2BackendTest.php A library/Zend/Cache/Backend/Memcached2.php
Please apply patch or what changes you need ;)
Thanks for your patch but this is a new backend and would need a proposal. Additionally 1.11 beta is released and therefore no new features will get in.
The current refactoring of the cache component for zf2 contains an adapter for ext/memcached -> http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/…
Marc -- adapters can come in as feature improvements in the tracker, so long as they are straight-forward. (This differs from the policy for filters, as they operate standalone.) Also, while we are technically in beta, our concept of beta is fairly fluid; we allow minor feature additions so long as they create new functionality and do not change existing functionality, and are trivial in scope.
How different is the attached adapter from what you've done for ZF2? If the differences are minimal or non-existent, I can see use cases for having this in the 1.X series.
metthew - this differs from last upgrade to 1.10 there was an alpha before ;) OK than I'll review and commit it this weekend but the name "Memcached2" seems improper to me. The other backend "Memcached" based on ext/memcache is blocking the name but ext/memcached is based on libmemcached and I would like to name it "Libmemcached" until zf2 - that do you think ?.
ps: Zend Cache 2 has a complete different structure and comparing isn't simply possible.
That name would likely be better ;)
/me kicks current Memcached for being named evil.
Commited your patch in r23136 (trunk) with some changes: - renamed to Libmemcached - added logging on failed calls of set - removed memcached option constants - changed client config to allow constant values of Memcached::OPT_* and override default Memcached configuration on constructor
Please take a look into it - Thanks
r23136 Libmemcached.php Copyright is "2005-2008" ;)
changed - thanks
r23136 - Libmemcached.php
Constructor: If the client option is not found in the else condition during the constructor, it should either raise an exception or log a message. This is really while it is looking for the client constant option. Also when setting the client option it will return true or false, we could also add logging to that.
Not really absolutely needed but could be added to give the developer a better idea if something is going wrong.
Really like the way you implemented the client options.
adding logging
Additionally if I remove the sleep(1) on tests tearDown() all tests passed on my test machine. -> Is that really needed ?
I don't really think it is needed. With the tests I started off with the same tests that were contained in the current memcached class and started to extend them. Since that one had a sleep(1) i kept it in since I didn't know if there was a CI server that would have required it.
merged to 1.11 branch in r23154
- I leave the sleep(1) on tearDown()
