You'll barely have time to process the title of this debut novel before confronting its first sentence. We meet Janie Ryan, Kerry Hudson's mouthy protagonist, at the moment of her birth, and let's just say it's a electrifying one.
With head-spinning rapidity we're introduced to Janie's equally mouthy mum, Iris, and Grandma — she of the mint-green nylon trousers — as well as Janie's Uncle Frankie, who gives Iris a pink miniskirt and a bottle of vodka as going-home-from-the-hospital-after-giving-birth presents.
But it's the ladies who steer this story. Meet the Ryans, a multigenerational family of Aberdeen, Scotland, women battling poverty, drug culture, and the vagaries of Thatcher's Britain with their own instinctive weapons: "fishwives to the marrow, they were always ready to fight and knew the places that would cut the deepest."
Soon after settling in at Grandma's, the famous Ryan temper flares, and Janie and Iris move on to an endless stream of subsidized housing. The first of their homes is where the titular Tony turns up, the mean-eyed, aggressive, tattooed "Aberdonian King, or at least Duke, of thugs and drugs."
Overnight, he becomes 2-year-old Janie's terrifying father figure and she strains to please: "My limbs stretched, lost their baby fat, and I used the toilet like a good girl. All of a sudden, as though someone had snuck in at night and placed them on my tongue, I knew lots of words and how to put them together to hurt, be funny or angry. I thought I should be the main feature, my cleverness, but it was only the 'Tom and Jerry' cartoon before the bloody film that became our day-to-day."
The raw physicality of Janie's reactions and perceptions drives the narrative with its palpable you-are-there sensation. The more Tony attacks Iris — "It didn't matter what the reason was. If the toast burned or her trousers made her look fat, if she spent too much time 'pandering' to me or if she wore red" — the more Janie hides under the duvet "with an ever growing ball of shame lodged in my chest," while "Ma let Tony's shiny promises settle on her skin like armour against the next beating."
Janie's a sponge, absorbing expletives, anger, and her mother's furious, erratic, manic love, but that same physicality is just as compelling during softer moments, when Iris tickles her or when Iris, Janie, and her younger sister, Tiny, curl up in bed together, "a set of Russian dolls, each protecting the other."
At the age of 6, she discovers the joys of public libraries: "When I opened the books, and I could open as many as I liked because it cost us nothing, the pictures lay on my eyes like oil on water and the dancing letters settled on my tongue with the smell and the taste of black-jack sweeties . . . I was learning how stories could make me feel safe."
Later, at school, the immediacy of her reactions comes into its own: "I was good at Drama. All you had to do was remember a feeling: being so scared that your blood turned icy (Tony, the Germans); being angry enough that your bones burned up and crumbled to ash (. . . Ma); loving someone enough to want to stretch your own skin over them to carry them safely inside you (Tiny, Ma, Uncle Frankie)."
Our resilient-vulnerable narrator makes her way through a peripatetic childhood, from grim Scottish housing projects to group homes in run-down English seaside towns, with a voice as riveting as it is honest. Foul-mouthed and feisty, with shoes held together by Blu-Tack and a belly mostly empty apart from large doses of spit and fire, Janie's fierce protectiveness toward her mother and Tiny is, in a way, all she's got — until it's time for her to strike out on her own.
Wickedly, brilliantly, inescapably funny in spite of its often-horrific scenarios, Hudson's debut is, by equal turns, startling, devastating, and exhilarating.Daneet Steffens is a journalist and book critic. Follow her on Twitter @daneetsteffens.

The Albuquerque Isotopes pounded out 21 hits en route to a 16-7 blowout victory over the host Reno Aces on Friday night. Tim Federowicz, Brock Peterson and Erisbel Arruebarrena all homered in the victory.
Arruebarrena, who just joined the team on a rehab assignment, blasted his first career Triple-A home run in the sixth inning. The three-run shot came with one out and landed out past left-center field.
That home run gave Albuquerque (51-56) an 11-0 lead. The Isotopes have won nine of their last 11 games.
Tim Federowicz's two-run double was the highlight of a five-run third inning. Federowicz then belted a two-run homer as part of a three-run fourth inning to make it 8-0.
Reno (56-51) scored six runs in its half of the sixth, including an RBI triple by veteran Ronny Cedeno. That only cut Albuquerque's lead to 11-6, however.
The Isotopes tacked on three runs in the eighth. In the ninth, Peterson swatted a two-run homer to cap the scoring.
Carlos Frias (8-4) earned the victory despite allowing six runs in 5.2 innings. He allowed eight hits, walked two and did not record any strikeouts.
Jamie Romak went 4-for-5 with two runs and two RBI. Peterson was 3-for-5 and scored four runs while Federowicz went 3-for-6 with four RBI.
Joc Pederson was 2-for-2 with two runs, a double and drew four walks. Mike Baxter went 3-for-5 with two runs, a double and two RBI.
Albuquerque and Reno will meet again Saturday at 8:05 p.m. Right-hander Zach Lee (6-8, 4.98 ERA) gets the nod for the Isotopes against Aces right-hander Mike Bolsinger (5-1, 3.30).

FRESNO, Calif. - The Fresno State women's basketball team fell at home to USC on Sunday, losing 63-54 at the Save Mart Center.
The Bulldogs (1-1) shot just 31.7 percent in the loss and saw the Trojans get 10 more points than the 'Dogs at the free-thrown line. USC attempted 14 more free throws than Fresno State did in the game, as the Bulldogs were called for 23 fouls.
"USC I think played aggressively and to their talent level," head coach Raegan Pebley said. "They put us on our heels for I feel like much of the game. In the end they won that game from the foul line and from second-chance opportunities.
"We need to do a much better job of continuing to play aggressive defensively without fouling, but also, defense isn't defense without rebounding."
The Bulldogs were out-rebounded 46-38 in the game. Trojan forward Cassie Harberts led USC with a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds.
Fresno State was led by senior guard Bree Farley, who scored 16 points on 5-of-11 shooting. Forward Alex Sheedy recorded her third career double-double, scoring 10 points and collecting a team-high 12 rebounds.
After being down by one at halftime, the Bulldogs came out of the locker room and went on a 12-7 run in the first five minutes of the second half. A 3-pointer from Moriah Faulk at 15:08 capped off the run and gave the Bulldogs a 36-30 lead.
The Trojans answered with a 12-5 run to take a 41-42 lead with 10:37 to play and they did not trail again the rest of the game.
"I think we work well together, it's just a matter of getting that consistency for 40 minutes," Farley said. "I don't think we've been close to really finishing a game off where we are playing together and executing how the coaches would like us to be."
Fresno State only shot 31.7 percent in the game, much of the shooting troubles coming in the first half when the 'Dogs hit just 7-of-32 attempts.
"We want our defense to fuel our offense, not vice versa," Pebley said. "I know this team can score, we shot awful tonight and I feel like it was a very uncharacteristic shooting night for us. But on those nights you got to have some great defense to fuel you offensively."
The Bulldogs forced 19 turnovers in the game and senior guard Taylor Thompson led the defensive charge with five steals. Thompson also added 11 points and seven rebounds.
USC would go up 53-40 with 7:22 to play, but layups from Farley and Sheedy and then a 3-pointer from Robin Draper allowed the 'Dogs to cut the lead down to two, 52-50 with 4:43 to play.
Foul trouble down the stretch and USC's ability to connect on its free-throw attempts kept Fresno State from coming back to win the game.
Trojan guard Ariya Crook was 9-of-12 from the free-throw line in the game and was 7-for-9 at the stripe in the final four minutes to help USC seal the win.
After two home games to open the season, the Bulldogs are now off until next Saturday when they travel to Cal State Fullerton.
"We're going to continue to build our confidence up, that we are a good shooting team and we're going to hit those shots," Pebley said.

Divorce rumors surrounding President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have left many in the U.S. public wondering this week whether the White House couple's marriage is going through a rough patch. Although there is no verified evidence that points toward a future split, speculation of marital problems between the political power couple has been around for months. This week, however, breakup conjectures are back in the spotlight more than ever after a successive number of media sources are claiming that there is indeed strife between the U.S. president and first lady. The Inquisitr relates some of these potential divorce rumors this Saturday, Jan. 18, 2014.
While President Obama and Michelle Obama often appear as the embodiment of togetherness and closeness, a resurgence of marital problems in the news has left some thinking the marriage might in fact be on the rocks. The Daily Mail announced that several sources, especially The National Enquirer, have alleged that there is some truth to these split rumors this week.
As cited in The Enquirer's most recent publication, given the attention-grabbing title, "Obama Divorce Bombshell," the White House duo's strong 21-year-old marriage is falling apart. It has become little more than a "string of ugly fights … that really came to a head from the Nelson Mandela memorial 'selfie' image and argument."
As shown in a viral photo, there is an image someone captured of President Obama taking a "selfie" at the Nelson Mandela memorial with the Prime Minister of Denmark, Helle Thorning-Schmidt. While President Obama is all smiles in the photo that instantly became a Web sensation, First Lady Michelle Obama can be seen right nearby looking quite unhappy. If anything, she seems unwelcomed or left out of the photo altogether, which is what some viewers believed what may have happened.
Soon afterwards, the Obama divorce rumors and marital problem speculations started to spread across the Internet and nation alike. There is little doubt that a few of these allegations are downright far-fetched, with one source claiming the first lady found out that Secret Service officers have been hiding the President's cheating for months now.
The White House has declined to comment on these cheating rumors and suspected split contentions.
"It is The Enquirer that even goes so far as to share an exclusive account from an unnamed spokesperson who claims to have inside details from behind the White House doors. The validity of the publication's claims can definitely be deemed questionable as every account is given by only anonymous insiders. The same insider additionally adds that the couple now sleeps in separate bedrooms after President Obama's attempt to "mend fences" went awry over the Christmas holidays when he returned to the states with their two daughters. Mrs. Obama opted to extend her stay in Hawaii."
There is again no concrete proof that the Obama marriage is going through a rough patch at all, and whether true or not, time often tells the truth in these sorts of fidelity (or infidelity) stories.

How the county board starts its term
Dave Bretl
click for larger version
April 08, 2014 | 03:45 PM
The county board's 2014-2016 term is about to begin.
Three new supervisors will be part of the eleven-member board when it convenes on April 15. Paul Yvarra will replace Jerry Grant, who announced his retirement after 16 years of service. Kathy Ingersoll, who has served on the county board before, will take over the Elkhorn seat left vacant by the death of Tim Schiefelbein, late last year. Finally, Charlene Fell Staples was successful in her election and will represent District 5.
While the board typically meets on the second Tuesday of each month, in this instance, state law trumps our local rule. Statutes require that county boards, throughout the state, conduct an organizational meeting on the third Tuesday after each regular election at which supervisors are elected.
County board supervisors in Wisconsin, with the exception of Milwaukee County, serve two-year terms. Therefore, the organizational process takes place every other year following the spring election.
The first order of business at the meeting is to swear in new supervisors and elect a county board chairperson from among the 11-member board. The chair presides over board meetings, approves the board's agenda and signs all official actions on behalf of the county. He or she carries out the duties of county administrator in the event that office becomes vacant.
Ordinances allow the chairperson to appoint ad hoc committees to study specific topics. The chairperson nominates replacements to serve on the county board in the event a supervisory vacancy occurs due to the resignation or death of a member between elections. In addition to these duties, the chairperson serves on six of the board's standing committees as well as a number of other committees and boards. The chair will earn $1,200 per month during the next term. Compensation for all other supervisors has been established this term at $600 per month.
Until 1998, an unwritten rule held that the chair would pass to the member with the longest tenure, who had not yet served as chair. Today, any member is free to run for chair; however, supervisors nominated to the post typically have previous experience on the board.

In the event the chairperson is unable to perform his or her duties, a vice chairperson, also elected by the full board, would assume the duties of the office.
In many Wisconsin counties, a second vice chairperson is elected. In Walworth County, the chairperson of the executive committee, also elected by the full board, would succeed the vice chairperson in the event he or she was unable to serve. This rule first went into effect in 2004, prompted, in part, to ensure that county government would continue to operate in the event of a major terrorist act or natural disaster.
The election process begins with nominations for the position of chairperson. Those competing for the job are given an opportunity to address their peers in a short speech, in which candidates typically outline their vision for the county and plan for leading the board.
State law, which normally requires all voting to be public, provides an exception in the case of the election of county leadership positions. Secret ballots are allowed. A majority vote of the supervisors at the meeting is required in order to be elected. Assuming all eleven supervisors are in attendance, six votes are required. If no winner emerges after the first ballot, a second round of balloting is conducted.
In past years, the supervisor garnering the fewest votes has typically withdrawn from the contest, although nothing requires that they do so. Supervisors continue to cast ballots until a winner emerges. Following election, the new chairperson takes his or her seat in front of the board and presides over the balance of the meeting. The elections of vice chair and chair of the executive committee are conducted in the same manner.
click to see advertisement
Following the board meeting, a nominating committee, consisting of the county board chair, vice-chair and executive committee chairperson, makes recommendations for assigning supervisors to the board's ten standing committees.
The nominating committee's work is subject to approval by the full board, and while supervisors are free to deviate from the committee's suggestions, its recommendations are generally approved. Reasons for the board's approval are both professional and practical.
Supervisors pay deference to the work of their colleagues, which can be time consuming. At a more practical level, tweaking the committee's recommendations on the board floor can be tricky. County ordinances provide that each supervisor is required to serve on a specific number of committees. Moving a member from one committee to another can have a cascading effect, necessitating a number of other moves.
The whole organizational process takes place in one week and culminates with the board's first business meeting, which will be held on Thursday, April 17. The newly constituted committees will meet later in the month. Each will elect its own chair and vice-chair and then resume the county's business for the next term, which will end in April of 2016.
The opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Walworth County Board of Supervisors.

Gene Krupa: How High the Moon
How High the Moon
Gene Krupa
Gerry Mulligan: Mullenium (Columbia/Legacy CK 65678)
Gene Krupa (drums),
17-piece band featuring Red Rodney (trumpet), Dick Taylor (trombone), Charlie Kennedy (alto sax), Charlie Ventura (tenor sax).
Composed by Nancy Hamilton & Morgan Lewis. Arranged by Gerry Mulligan.
Recorded: New York, May 27, 1946
Rating: 86/100 (learn more)
By mid-1946, when Gene Krupa recorded 19-year-old arranger Gerry Mulligan's arrangement of "How High the Moon," the 1940 Broadway show tune was such a jazz staple that interpolating Charlie Parker's "Ornithology" (based on songwriter Morgan Lewis's lunar phases) was a transparent signal of wannabe hipness. Even so, the fading, 37-year-old Swing Era superstar drummer deserves credit, both as talent scout for discovering Mulligan and as bandleader for so crisply executing the lad's buoyant chart. Despite this track's substandard audio on Columbia's 1998 Mullenium CD, the postwar swing-to-bop transition is revealingly documented from the belly of the beast—Gene Krupa's throwback big band.

WATCH: Adam Hills wants to 'piss off bigots' Westboro Baptist Church by donating to charity
Comedian Adam Hills has taken back his offer to fly members of the Westboro Baptist Church to Iraq, instead donating the money he would have spent on their flights to Robin Williams' favourite charity.
The comedian announced last week on his U.K. TV program The Last Leg he would fly members of the fundamentalist anti-gay church - who were planning to picket Williams' funeral - to Iraq where they could picket the people threatening to behead Christians who wouldn't convert.
[Image] Westboro Baptist Church respond to Hills via Twitter
On this week's program however, the host rescinded that offer saying that Westboro Baptist are nothing but a bunch of attention seekers and that he wouldn't be spending any money on them.
Watch Adam Hills offers to donate to charity
"I don't want to fight hate with hate and I certainly don't want to give these guys more publicity," Hills said.
"That's why I' am going to take all the money I was going to spend on your air tickets and I'm going to donate it directly to St Jude Children's Research Hospital in the name of Robin Williams."
"Not only will it help a child, it will really piss off a bigot".

"Mad Men" season 7 is making sure the 60s go out with a bang. After seeing Ginsberg cut off his nipple and put it in a little box to present to Peggy as a gift, you found yourself asking was it too much wacky weed, mushrooms or stress? While Don goes from bender to bender, he has his first threesome on the show, but it was initiated by his wife and her girlfriend. That is a change, it wasn't a mistress this time!
He didn't look too turned on seeing his wife kiss another girl, but she was higher than a kite. According to the way Slate sees it, in an article published May 12, Don bucked this threesome until he couldn't fight it any more. He did look like the square in the bunch for a few minutes there. It seems that not only the ad men are experimenting with the drugs, but so are the rest of their families.
Peggy was in tears watching the paramedics take Ginsberg out on a stretcher after she called for help. The usually comical advertising employee was screaming that the computer was playing with his brain. He wanted everyone to stay away from the new computer as it was turning his bosses into homosexuals. He too thought this was happening to him, as the Atlantic suggests today.
To battle that feeling he cut his nipple off to relieve the pressure that the computers installed in him somehow. The night before he tried to bed down Peggy. In his deranged mind Ginsberg somehow thought that the computer couldn't turn him into a homosexual if he could procreate with Peggy. While she's usually a good friend, this was pushing the limit and she wanted nothing to do with this. She was heartsick when seeing Ginsburg go over the edge, handing her a box with his severed nipple in it.
What's up with Megan? When Anna's niece needed help Don sent her to Megan's house in the canyon. He flew out the next day to help the very pregnant and confused teen. When he got there she had already left, on her own desire, Megan tells Don, but that's not how it went. Megan became very defensive when Stephanie told her she "knew all Don's secrets," which was nothing more than a light-hearted quip.
Megan's demeanor changed and she cut the girl a check for $1000 and sent her on her way. She looked like a jealous lover and the girl turned to her and said that nothing ever happened between her and Don. What Megan saw was a beautiful young girl about to have a baby. She knew soon that beautiful young girl would be competition for her, as the two weren't too far apart in age.
Over at Betty's house, things aren't going too well. She's still a miserable mother and now she's turning into a witch of a wife. She used to adore her new husband and acted like a subservient child around him. That's changed, Betty seems to be running the show. She informs Henry she is smart and she speaks Italian!
"Madmen" took a leap into the strange and bizarre this last episode, from severed nipples to a threesome and don't forget the computer that Ginsberg thinks is turning the office men into homosexuals. Even Betty has succumbed to the free thinking late 60s. Don, who was the craziest out of the bunch there for the first several seasons, looks like an old fart compared to the people around him.

"The Monuments Men"
Soundtrack Review
Sony Masterworks/Sony Classical
25 Tracks/Disc Time: 61:28
Grade: A (Best of 2014)
After reviewing the rather abysmal "RoboCop", I'm glad to say that this next score that I'm about to review is a breath of fresh air. Well, anything's better than "RoboCop" at this point...so that leads us to "The Monuments Men" a marvellous, entertaining film starring and directed by Oscar winner George Clooney in the fascinating true story that takes place during World War II. Clooney stars as Frank Stokes, who's tapped by President Roosevelt to lead a crew of seven museum directors, curators, and art historians behind enemy lines to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves who are under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell and returning them to their rightful owners. Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, Jean Dujardin, Hugh Bonneville and Cate Blanchett co-star in this fun, film that will remind most of "Kelly's Heroes" Starring the great Clint Eastwood and is a great throwback to films that were lovingly made involving real characters and not CGI. The film has done very well at the box office despite runaway business from "The Lego Movie".
One important element of late from George Clooney's film has been the use of music. From his directorial debut on "Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind" and his follow up, "Good Night And Good Luck", Clooney has really grown to appreciate a composer writing the music for his films whether its' in front, behind the camera as a director or behind the scenes as a producer, he had the very solid work of composer and current Oscar nominee Alexandre Desplat, who has scored films featuring Clooney starting with "Syriana", "The Ides Of March" and the Oscar Winning Best Picture, "Argo". Desplat's talents with recent films such as the Oscar nominated "Philomena", "Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close" and now, "The Monuments Men" has really brought him well deserved acclaim and a new legion of fans and this score will absolutely not disappoint.
The score is easily one of my favorites so far this year and I'd expect it to be on my Best of 2014 list at years' end. The score is so infectious and enjoyable, it is a brilliant homage to those scores written by the likes of Lalo Schifrin, Elmer Bernstein, Alfred Newman, Jerry Goldsmith, and John Williams featuring a grand rousing theme ("Opening Titles") that I've played over and over again is that good. It's playful, jaunty nature is just so cheerfully entertaining that really elevates the rest of the score in a great way. Desplat plays off the cheerful march with fun material with tracks such as "Basic Training", "Champagne", "Gold!", "End Title" and "The Roosevelt Mission", which channels a little bit of "Saving Private Ryan" in parts which is definitely not a bad thing. These tracks are stand outs and very enjoyable as Desplat's theme is played in various guises performed with gusto and fun. Desplat also underscores the important aspects of the mission rather subtly and full of sweep with tracks such as "Ghent Alterpiece", "Siegen Mine", "Heilbron Mine", and "Castle Art Hoard" utilizing a more suspense approach that isn't overbearing while "Sniper" and "Finale" are the score's more rousing and exciting action pieces. "Finale" is a lengthy and marvellously orchestrated piece that Desplat just pulls out every great action melody in his ovure and just simply a beautiful, inspired piece of writing. Desplat also manages to fit a lush and romantic theme featured in "Clare & Granger" that is simply charming and has a Austrian waltz like feel to it that is just sparkling.
Sony Masterworks' album is a solid one from start to finish and it's rare that a score album (nowadays) can hold your attention for this length of time and really accomplish alot. The music is just so good, so enjoyable and a score that fans of the Golden Age era will get a kick off not just the modern crowd. This is a score that is masterfully done, plain and simple. Alexandre Desplat has proven time and time again that he's a composer that really shows his versitility in any genre and has found the perfect collaboration with a great director/actor such as George Clooney. "The Monuments Men" is easily one of the best scores of the year so far and one that will get repeat listens again and again. Bravo Monseur Desplat! Very enthusastic Thumbs Way Way Up!

This morning Israel Gutierrez published an opinion piece in the Herald about the decision to not allow fans to tweet from the stands. He makes the point that "real" reporters check their facts and follow the team rules about not divulging too much.
And offhandedly he dissed those of us who write about the phins in our not-paid-as-reporters way.
A couple of thoughts come to mind:
(a) after the April fools joke our buddy Brian played (the JT story) on reporters on a national scale, it's hard to imagine them actually checking facts.
(2) who cares what a bunch of tweeters say? If they were to be at a practice and see Joey Porter line up at running back and reported on it - what would that mean? Was it a bogus report? The dolphins were toying with us? Or that other teams should look out?
The reality is that it should force teams to think about their strategy and use Twittering fans to their advantage. We can remember what we saw, write it down, tell someone in a phone conversation, or photograph it. What's the difference?
And if another team wants to parse thousands of (potentially bogus) Twitter entries then I say let them.
(iii) and to my friend at the herald - I know we're a threat to you but why be antagonistic? There are better ways to handle your relationship with us. We're all just reporting about the phins.

Q&A with Texas Tech Cross Country Coach Jon Murray
Murray and the women's team are three-time defending Big 12 champions
Oct. 11, 2011
The Texas Tech Red Raiders and Lady Raiders cross country teams will compete this weekend at the Chile Pepper Festival in Fayetteville, Ark., but beforehand, Texas Tech Athletics Communications sat down with Texas Tech cross country coach Jon Murray to discuss both of his programs and where his squads are currently at the midway point of the season.
Athletics Communications: You guys are headed to a very strong meet this weekend in Arkansas, the Chile Pepper Festival, what are your thoughts as you head into this competition?
Jon Murray: It is always a good competition. The course is very good. It is very fast, that is the one thing we like about it. We have run it so many times. It is a good mark for the team to be able to judge where they are from other years and where they are at this season.
On the women's side the big competition is going to be Arkansas and Texas. We saw Texas already, so that will be good. We have won it (Chile Pepper Festival) two or three times in the past. We didn't go last year. The weather is always going to be good. The surroundings are good. It is a fun environment. I think everyone enjoys going to be part of that. So on the women's side, there will be some great competition there.
On the men's side it is a 10K, so that is a little different. It will be a good opportunity for them to see that before we go to a regional. Again, it is a fast course. There are not a lot of hills, so that provides them a good opportunity to have a good experience on that course. The competition will be great. I'm not sure all of the teams that will be there, but the ones listed like Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Arkansas, those are some of the top teams in the country.
AC: Speaking specifically on the women's side, you have three runners who all have had top-three finishes, how do you see some of the team's top runners finishing on a course like this?
JM: Well, Rose (Tanui) is pretty hard to beat, I'll tell you that. She has run very well ever since she has been with us. She is going to definitely be one of the favorites up there. Caroline (Jepleting) is running very well this year also, and is practicing very well also. She will be exciting to see running there. With the lack of hills on this course it is going to be a good one for her also. She is more of a middle distance/flat ground runner where Rose is a little bit more of long distance (runner). Purity (Biwott), she is just one who is always reliable. She gets in there and does a great job. She does what she needs to do. It is always exciting to have her there. She will do what she needs to do to help the team.
AC: With the men's team, there are so many newcomers and underclassmen, who have been some bright spots who have had some good meets this year?
JM: Reid Strong is someone who has come on very well. I think he is going to be a good leader for us the rest of this year and into the future. Then you have Valentinio (Julien), who has done a good job and works very hard also. The group is pretty equal. They kind of move around quite a bit. There isn't a set position yet. So every meet is interesting to see what is going to happen and to see where people will fit in. That is exciting on that part.
AC: With this being the last meet before the Big 12 Championship at the end of the month (Oct. 29 - College Station Texas), what are you looking to see out of both groups? What do you want to see out of the women before they go out and defend their championship and with the men before they go compete in the conference meet?
JM: We are going to do some different things with racing strategy that will help see where we are and what they can do in those bigger meets coming up. We will work on a few individual people on different parts of their racing. Then just see where they are fitness wise. Those are the main goals right there: working on strategy of what we need to do in the race, where are we fitness wise and what do we need to work on for the next month to get ready for the conference meet.

Is it possible to have multiple authz files for a single subversion repository and to have them interact?
To get a better understanding of what I'm after, let me explain. We're about to roll out centrally hosted subversion repositories for all students at our university. We want to be able to specify groups of users such as teachers and administrators which students can easily give access to. To keep concurrent editing of the ACLs by multiple students simple, we're going to have one authz file for each student. This however makes global group definitions a pain as the group definitions must be updated in at least each authz files that uses it. So my questions basically amounts to, can I have one authz file with group definitions that I then reference from another authz file?

Smart Grid Requires New Profit Motives
By John Gartner on August 11, 2009
It is understandable why some utilities might be hesitant to embrace smart grid technology. It's expensive (Repower America says implementation will cost upwards of $400 billion) and at the same time will reduce their ability to sell their core product (energy).

Shinji Kagawa hasn't found the form that made him a hot property at Dortmund.
Author: Bricki
Follow Bricki on Twitter – @Bricki
Shinji Kagawa is my kind of footballer. He's small, nippy and all about looking after the ball. I could watch him conduct a game from the middle of the park all day long.
The expectations the moment United signed him from Borussia Dortmund were huge. Here was a player that had been part of the heartbeat of the football hipster's favourite side in Europe. We had seemingly plucked the biggest gem from Dortmund to build our side around.
So a season and a half into his stay with United, what has gone wrong?

According to the city of Mobile's web-site, "The Mobile City Council will hold a Public Forum on Tuesday, April 10, 2012 at Government Street Baptist Church (3401 Government Street) starting at 6 p.m. The forum will give council members an opportunity to get feedback from the public regarding the Mayor's proposed one cent sales tax increase."
The issue of upping the city's already 9 cent sales tax by an additional penny arose earlier in the year when on August 20th the city's mayor Sam Jones as required by law presented to the council a balanced budget for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2012. In an open letter to the council which accompanied the fiscal 2012 budget the Mayor warned of a $29,000,000 budget shortfall facing the city if measures were not taken to plug what was characterized as a "hole" in the city's budget.
The measure proposed by Jones to fill the hole is essentially a re-instatement of one penny in sales tax which had been previously been implemented with a grandfather clause and subsequently allowed to expire. A 10% across the board furlough for city workers is the other alternative seen by the Mayor as a way to at least partially plug the hole. Even with the furlough however, the Mayor wrote, "we are still looking at filling a hole that amounts to $11.6 million dollars next year."
In a letter to the editor of the Press-Register, Mobile's former mayor of 16 years, Michael C. Dow endorsed the idea of re-instating the one penny sales tax. According to reports the seven person city council plans to vote on the issue by the end of this month.

Rep. Hank Johnson announced today that he has received the endorsements of several Democratic leaders in his bid for reelection from the 4th Congressional District of Georgia. Johnson (D-GA) is seeking his 5th term in Congress after unseating Cynthia McKinney in 2006. Johnson received the endorsement of President Barack Obama shortly after he was challenged by former DeKalb County Sheriff Tom Brown who is also a Democrat.
Today's endorsements were from former House Speaker and current House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and Assistant Democratic leader Jim Clyburn (D-SC). They offered their strong support for Johnson and complete confidence in his ability to represent the 4th District in Georgia.
Pelosi said of Johnson: "Congressman Johnson has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with all House Democrats in fighting for equal opportunity, for good jobs, better pay, and for a strong thriving middle class. Hank Johnson is a champion for working families, in Georgia and across the country. He is a bold leader and an unflinching voice in our ongoing effort to secure affordable health care for our families, jobs and fairness for our workers, consumer protections for Main Street and effective rules of the road for Wall Street."
Hoyer said of Johnson: "Hank Johnson has been a tireless advocate for the people of Georgia's Fourth District, and I am proud to endorse him for reelection to Congress. Hank has played an important role advancing House Democrats' platform of expanding opportunities for middle-class families by making quality, affordable health care more accessible, promoting world-class schools, and standing up for seniors and veterans. He has sponsored an important piece of legislation under House Democrats' bipartisan Make It In America plan for jobs and economic competitiveness, which aims to help businesses in Georgia and across the country create high-skill, high-wage jobs that won't be shipped overseas. Hank continues to serve Georgian families with great distinction as their Representative."
Clyburn said of Johnson: "As part of the Democratic leadership team, I enjoy working with Congressman Johnson on behalf of all Americans. He has a keen understanding of the issues that affect working men and women and is a fierce defender of middle-income Americans. We can always count on Hank to champion the causes that matter."

Plan now for great-tasting tomatoes next year
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Home-grown tomatoes are NOT the best-tasting ones. Not necessarily, that is.
Now, I'm not advocating tossing in your trowel and doing your harvesting at the supermarket. What I am saying is that choosing the best variety is the important thing if you're looking to grow a great-tasting tomato.
A tomato that has been handled carefully keeps pretty well for a couple of days, so you could buy a great-tasting tomato from a store or farm stand. But only if that tomato is a great-tasting variety.
Unfortunately, the best-tasting varieties don't usually have the qualities demanded of a commercial tomato: tough skins to withstand handling, high yields, concentrated ripening and disease resistance.
So you do generally have to grow your own to get the best taste. And now is a good time to start, by doing two things.
Taste a lot of tomatoes
Try eating various kinds of tomatoes. Taste the varieties offered at farm stands, and those growing in the backyards of friends and neighbors. Cook up and taste any varieties you want to consider for canning, because cooking a tomato dramatically changes its flavor. A fresh San Marzano tomato tastes like cotton but cooks into a delectable sauce.
Fresh or cooked, you'll be amazed at the range in flavor among tomato varieties. Settle for nothing but the best.
Source seeds
Once you've found some great-tasting tomato varieties, plan for next year. If you have the variety's name, you may be able to find it in a seed catalog and simply order seeds for next season. Good sources for many tomato varieties include Tomato Growers Supply Company (888-478-7333, tomatogrowers.com), Totally Tomatoes (803-663-0016, totallytomato.com), Sustainable Seed Co., (877-620-SEED, sustainableseedco.com) and Seed Savers Exchange (319-382-5990, seedsavers.org).
But there's no need to forsake the best tomatoes just because you can't put a name on them. Many great-tasting tomatoes are nonhybrid, or heirloom, varieties. That means you can easily save the seeds.
Seeds from hybrid tomatoes also often yield plants with good-tasting fruits — sometimes even fruits identical to those from the mother plant — if they were called "hybrid" by seed sellers merely to discourage seed saving.
Saving tomato seeds entails nothing much more than squeezing a bit of the seed-gel mix out of the cavity of a tomato fruit into a glass. That gel contains inhibitors that keep the seeds from sprouting while still inside the fruit. Leach and ferment those inhibitors away by adding some water to the seed-gel mix. After letting the slurry sit for a day or so, pour it through a fine strainer, wash the seeds well in running water, and spread them out to dry. Now you're all set for good eating next year.

Wasps are insects that are considered pests to humans. This is especially true when wasps build their nests in areas where there are a lot of people. Unfortunately, there are many structures in our homes, such as underneath the corners of roofs, that are often seen by wasps as great places for nests. Once nest has been built or established, a wasp problem follows. In such cases, considering what makes a good wasp catcher is important.
Good wasp traps or catchers are available on the market. However, you can also choose to make your own. What is important is that it meets the criteria for trapping and killing wasps. The first criteria that needs to be met is that the wasps should be able to go in but not come out. This should keep the trapped wasps isolated. You don't want them to be able to get out and get to you because angry or aggravated wasps are very likely to sting. Or you can also visit omegaanimalremoval.com for more information on how you can easily remove pests like wasps at home.
Second, consider the wasp design. Some traps have ledges, and these can be good and bad. They're good because wasps can rest on the ledge and this could mean attracting more wasps to the trap, but they're bad because most traps with ledges near openings are the type of traps wasps can escape from. Also, consider what means of protection your trap offers and how easy it is to rebait the trap. Most traps need to be rebaited every two weeks in order to stay effective. If your trap can ensure that the wasps will die before you rebait or protect you from the wasps while you rebait, then this is good. Just keep in mind that if you have a trap full of wasps and some start to rot, you have to clean it out and rebait, even if two weeks aren't up yet.
Try not to use meat as bait for your wasp traps. Although wasps are attracted to protein, meat can start to rot and stink after a few days which will only attract flies. Not to mention it will be pretty disgusting to clean out. Anything sweet and liquid will make good bait, and if you can lace it with some kind of poison, even better.
The best wasp catcher is a wasp catcher that can kill all the wasps that go in, even if it doesn't trap a lot of wasps. There is nothing worse than a trap that attracts tons of wasps but can't kill them all. You'll only introduce an even bigger problem. To try and avoid this, set up several wasp catchers leading away from your home or the problem area so that you not only catch more than the usual, but you're also leading them away.
Some people believe that a disposable wasp catcher is safer because you don't have to deal with the captured wasps. While it is more convenient and somewhat safer for you, you do have to consider what happens once you throw the trap away, and how much it will cost for you to get rid of the wasps completely since you may have to buy several disposable traps before your problem is over.

This experience exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival, we had a horse drawn carriage ride on the property, and then the evening meal was superb in presentation and taste. Attending to all the details made this so memorable!

The Irish Hollow Inn is amazing. We stayed in the Gardener's Cottage on 9/1/14. After driving down some hilly gravel roads while gazing out at the beautiful Illinois countryside, I finally arrived to check in at the inn. Matthew was there to greet me; He was very hospitable and explained the area (trails and the town of Galena) in great detail. He gave me a bunch of maps and informed me of dinner and breakfast times, which they make for you. You eat in the same building where you check in. Matthew's service was truly wonderful. I work at hotels, so I notice the little things that the staff do to really Wow their guests. I left the main building, and drove to the next street where my cabin was. I also noticed the landscaping on their property was very beautiful. There was easily enough parking for two or three cars at the cabin. Upon walking up to the cottage, I heard music coming from the inside. It turns out they turned on classical romantic music for us, which was playing through their complimentary iPod-- through their surround sound speakers. There was chocolate and champagne set out for us as well, which was a nice touch. It's a perfect space for two people to use, and it kind of resembles the inside of castle. Everything was very clean and there was a lot of detail put into keeping the place up to date. (Note, there were no phones or alarm clocks or TV's in the cabin, which is a great plus). The Jacuzzi in the bathroom was very fun, and there was a double rain shower room if you needed it. (There's even a sun room where you can sit out and watch the rain). The best part was the bed, which was extremely comfortable. Eventually it was 7pm so we walked over to have supper. One of the gentlemen seated us at an already prepared table. We had our delicious 7 course meal, which was enough to fill me up (and I eat a lot). The next morning, we had a delicious breakfast as well.

From our first visit several years ago, we've been back at least five times. You won't find a better place to stay in Galena, or Illinois for that matter, that is as wonderful and romantic as the Inn at Irish Hollow! The cottages are beautifully decorated, making you not want to leave, but you must, in order to enjoy the lovely grounds and incredible food that awaits you in the main house. We were there in January, and happily only left our cottage to stroll thru the snow for breakfast, then back to our cottage for a relaxing day in front of the fire. Back again in March (staying at a different cottage, equally as enchanting), and we've booked our next stay for October. No doubt, we're addicted!! The food is some of the best we've ever experienced, and always something surprising. The innkeeper, Matthew, really knows how to take care of his guests, and you want for nothing. This is most definitely worth the price!!

We enjoyed the luxuries of the private cottage and the extremely unique and delightful breakfasts that were brought to our door. The seven course meal was fantastic and my bf said he's never eaten such good food as he did this weekend. The staff were beyond friendly and welcoming. This weekend was not enough-will definitely be going back!

You have to give Irish Hollow a try. You will then be looking to book your next visit. It is that good. The Inn Rooms are wonderful. This year we stayed in a cottage. I now will be booking their cottages from here on as it is a more full experience. The cottages smell wonderful and are decorated in a way that will make you want to take photos of each room as I did. The firplace and the screened in porch to retreat to had us spending more time at the Inn than we originally planned - with no regrets at all. Matthew is an amazing host and makes sure you are well taken care of. The entire staff is of the finest in Hospitality services. Nothing unprofessional here and they love what they do. My wife & I now have an annual tradition here at Irish Hollow. Anthony & Ann

For our 26th anniversay this year we decided to go to Galena. I found The Inn at Irish Hollow on the internet and we made our reservations. What a fabulous time we had. From the time we arrived Matthew was the best host. All of the staff want to do all they can to make your visit exceptional. The cottage we had was beautiful and cozy and the food was fabulous. We were so spoiled we hated to have to leave. We will go back for sure.

My hubby and I were looking to do something fun and different for our 18th anniversary on August 19th. We decided to go with a B&B , and since we both love Galena, I found Irish Hollow thanks to Google and boy am I glad I did. We were amazed beyond words when we got there, it was so much off the beaten path and the setting looks like something out of a picture postcard, the weather was perfect, the inn was perfect, our room was cozy and done beautifully, the champagne, the flowers, the chocolates, the breakfast every morning, the 7 course dinner, it was just the most superlative of experiences. We stayed at The Shopkeeper's Suite in the Inn, it was so "old timey" and beautiful. I'm actually torn if we will take this same room if available for our next visit or a cottage. We got some hiking done and even had Molly, the inn's cat come along during our hikes, it was so cute how she kept step with us all the way. The couple's massage was one of the most relaxing massages I have had and I am no stranger to massages. Matthew & Tony were so helpful in answering all our questions , and there was absolutely no issue with adapting the food to my hubby's dietary habits ( he is a vegetarian ). This has to be one of the nicest anniversaries we have had so much so that we will be going back in November and probably many many times after that.
5 on June 26, 2012
The Inn at Irish Hollow has to be the best experience we have ever had at a B & B. The service was outstanding. Matthew was very attentive and welcoming. Our room far exceeded our expectations with a beautiful fireplace, whirlpool tub, sitting area, and extremely comfortable bed; the owners provided for every need-- and then some. The food was completely amazing. We enjoyed the beautiful, peaceful atmosphere and look forward to our next visit!
5 on June 18, 2012
We truly felt as though we had landed in Paradise when we stayed at the Inn at Irish Hollow. We have stayed at many B&Bs through the years, but the Inn was the best of all...hands down. Our dinner and breakfasts were truly memorable. We enjoyed playing the Steinway grand, sipping wine on the porch, and walking the trails. Matthew is a gem! We offered to adopt him, but he insisted his place was at the Hollow...sigh.

My husband and I drove 7 hours to stay at this oasis in the middle of farmland! This inn was recommeded to me by my sister. She said we would enjoy it and she was right! Matthew and his staff are absolutely fabulous! The food was amazing, the attention to deail in everyaspect was obvious. The massages that we got were rated number one by my husband. We will be back to try a cottage and will be recommending Irish Hollow to our friends and family. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful weekend!

Box Score | Pac-12 Video Highlights
PASCO, Wash. - Five runs over the first three innings and a terrific outing from starter Zach Wright led the Washington baseball team to a 5-2 win over Washington State Sunday at GESA Stadium, completing the UW's first three-game sweep over WSU since 2007.
The Huskies, who won 4-3 on Friday and 3-1 Saturday, improved to 22-31 overall and 13-14 in the Pac-12. Washington State dropped to 21-30 and 8-19 in the conference.
Wright (4-5) pitched seven innings to cruise to the win, allowing six hit and no walks while striking out four. Tyler Kane earned his fifth save, coming on with the bases loaded and pitching two scoreless innings.
UW senior shortstop Ty Afenir went 2-for-4 with two runs batted in to lead the Husky attack. Classmate Joe Meggs was 2-for-2 and was also hit by a pitch twice while sophomore Erik Forgione was 2-for-5.
Cougar starter Tanner Chleborad (3-9) took the loss, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits over two and two-thirds innings. Sean Hartnett provided five and two-thirds scoreless innings of relief for WSU.
Washington got started quickly. Forgione opened the game with a single up the middle. After advancing to third on a bunt and a grounder to short, he scored when Michael Camporeale dropped a single into shallow right.
In the second, the Dawgs added three more runs to take a 4-0 lead. With Trevor Mitsui at third and Meggs at second, both aboard on singles, Afenir singled to left-center, driving in both runners. Forgione followed with a single, and an error on the play moved he and Afenir up one additional base each. A squeeze bunt from Andrew Ely brought home Afenir to cap the three-run inning.
In the third, Mitsui and Meggs were hit by a pitch with two outs. With Hartnett on for Chleborad, UW freshman catcher Austin Rei singled up the middle to score Mitsui, increasing the UW edge to 5-0.
The Cougars' scoring chances were relatively limited through Wright's time on the mound. WSU got two on, but with two out, in the first. In the second and fifth, Cougar batters knocked one-out doubles. The only WSU leadoff batter to reach base came in the seventh, but a double play ended that inning with the 5-0 score in tact.
With Wright out of the game to start the eighth, however, WSU mounted a comeback attempt. Singles from Trace Tam Sing and Collin Slaybaugh, followed by a walk to P.J. Jones loaded the bases with no outs. Kane came on for the Huskies and got a fly ball to right from Jason Monda to bring home the Cougars' first run. After a single re-loaded the bases, Adam Nelubowich grounded to first to bring home another, but a fly to right ended the inning with the UW lead still in tact at 5-2.
The Huskies wrap up the regular season next weekend at Husky Ballpark in a three-game series vs. Arizona State. The Saturday and Sunday games will both air live on the Pac-12 Networks.

Utterly fascinating. A genius of a man. I love how Brad just sits there and lets him speak, but of course, who could blame him. When John Carmack speaks, you listen.

What an amazing interview. Mr. Carmack is a true legend in the industry, glad to see him work on so many cool projects.
It wasn't really an interview TBH, and I'm OK with that. Man, can he talk!
To be fair, the whole point of an interview is to get answers from someone, and, hey, Carmack just so happens to give up all the answers to all the questions you might have asked without you ever asking them. That's just an interview with a fantastic guest. ;)
@Paul_Tillich said:
How old is Carmack? Boy genius?
He's gotta be in his 40's by now.
@demonbear said:
I love how he, very sincerely think he can educate different manufacturers to make this thing happen
That stood out to me too. A frustration that he has with things moving so slowly because people aren't as clever or unbound to think about problems like him so he feels like he has to single-handedly step in to hurry everything up. Must be interesting to have his perspective on life.
do we really need futurama music over this
Carmack is one of those people I could listen to all day, no matter what they talked about :)
Awesome interview, thanks a lot!
John Carmack's soundtrack is Futurama
Why is the focus on the background instead of Carmack?
That man is inspiring.
Did you ever have a moment where you walk into a room full of people and realize that you're the smartest person in that room? Yeah, Mr. Carmack has that experience every single time he walks into a room.
FUCK MILLISECONDS! Always up in your grill ruining shit!
The best part of this is the way Brad says "right, yeah", while Carmack casually throws out all the latency figures as if that stuff was common knowledge.
That music is WAAAAY too loud, can barely hear what's being said!
Truly an inspiration to witness carmack and the passion he has.
Would love to see a version of this unrestrained by time where Carmack would just get to go all out with everything he had to say because it seemed like he could go on for even longer.
Dat Face.
Put a little bit of Carmack on there.
I could listen to John Carmack for days.
I love that he took into account neck and head movement in order to give the viewing angles a more realistic feel.
Also, I'm pretty sure Brad only asked the one question at the start and John just took off for the full 17 minutes. edit--- Brad asked 3 questions total. haha.

He's 41.
Awesome interview....
Wow, Carmack knows his stuff. Also, who dares tell Carmack to hurry it along at around 15 minutes in?
I want Carmack to take Shoemaker on as his pupil.
Also, I seriously CANNOT get enough of that fake Futurama theme.
Carmack is strangely calming. I love that someone in this world is thinking at a level beyond everyone else about how to make an FPS better.
Let's hope that Carmack sets his mind to world hunger next.
It really is crazy how his mind works where he is already thinking about the next question you're going to ask as he's answering one and then just keeps rolling with all kinds of super insightful information.
Easily one of the most interesting people i have ever heard speak. Very intelligent.
The greatest nerd ever, some day we'll tell our children that we walked the same earth of John Carmack
God Mode on.
Obviously John has watched Breaking Brad.
John Carmack is a genius and I like the way he is getting these industries to work together, and in the end we will have some awesome product that he is going to make more affordable, and better than it ever was before. The man has been a definite contribution to the gaming world, and I'm sure with what he is working with here, it could be a major contribution to other fields.
I would love to listen to the man speak about these things goals/goggles more, or somehow help him accomplish them. I'm sure working with him is a highly rewarding experience, because he certainly has the brain power and vision to make them happen. You just have to be willing to listen to him talk for awhile and understanding of what he is saying I'm guessing. :)
I'd never heard Carmack speak before. Once I got past the... unique tone of his voice I was entranced. WHO WAVED THEIR HAND?! WHY DID YOU STOP HIM?!
Brain candy! :)
But seriously, please get rid of the background music.
The most exciting thing about John Carmack interviews or keynotes IMHO is, he talks to you in a way you can understand. It's like your high school teacher, reminding you of things, you have learned in the past, but chose to forget. And then, there is his pure hacker soul - being the real MacGyver - listening to him, makes people excited about learning about math, physics, code and tech...
Maybe the most impressive thing about this is how comparatively easy it is to follow given the complexity of the subject and my utter lack of experience with the technological background. Such eloquence and talent to explain a large context reasonably simple is very rare. Excellent stuff.
I'm not sure if I understood half of what Cormack had to say, but I still love hearing him in interviews like this because intellect like that is just impressive to watch.
This is also really cool to see more early fragments of virtual reality
Music reminds me of Futurama.
Oh my science! Hah, I bet Brad is like, "wtf is he saying?"
Brad said exactly what I was thinking... This would work on a flight simulator, driving simulator, etc.. But, in a FPS game you can't be moving the camera by your thumbstick and by the tracker IR at the same time.. It just wont work. Anyone who used this would get the least kills on the server.
Hilarious. How amazing would it be to just open any random machine and just go "Oh that's how it works".
Oh man, what an amazing guy; it's so satisfying listening to a really erudite guy like that talk about things he's obviously passionate about.
Carmack is a true wizard.
The background music in this video is too loud and too obnoxious.
That was by far the most interesting interview I've seen from E3. John Carmack is brilliant.
This thing would be great for games that is all about atmosFEAR.
Something like Amnesia or Condemned

Well you wouldn't use it for competitive gaming. But for a single player game, you aren't going to get any closer to wearing a visor like Samus or Master Chief, and for single player, this could be a great tool for immersion.
watching Carmack's keynote at last QuakeCon made me come back to this video :)
still awesome ;)
It's cool for someone to do something great like this and then say that he can't wait for the real change to come through other people messing with his stuff on their own.
I've been using my DK2 all weekend. Cool to see how much better it is than this.
