Corinthians 14:5 "I wish that you all spoke with tongues..."
I know from study of the Bible and personal experience what a
blessing it is to be empowered by the Holy Spirit to pray to God
in languages that are unknown to me. This is called "speaking
in tongues". Therefore, when I heard a noted minister on the
radio recently preaching against speaking in tongues, I felt that
I should write him this letter, and also share it with you who
seek scriptural truth and desire all of God's best for your life.
Brother Morris*
I have heard you on the radio for many years and respect you as
a minister, and appreciate your work for God, but I felt the need
to write you concerning some statements you made on your broadcast
of July 11, 1998 regarding speaking in tongues. Sir, I must respectfully
say that your comments on this subject revealed a serious lack
of understanding of scripture. For example, you said twice on
your broadcast that I Corinthians chapters 12-13-14 were written
by the apostle Paul to "discourage speaking with tongues", but
he plainly says in I Corinthians 14:5 "I would that ye all
spoke with tongues." You quoted Paul as saying that he had
rather speak one word that people understood than ten thousand
words in an unknown tongue but you failed to point out that he
prefaced that statement by saying "in the church....", therefore
making a distinction between speaking in tongues in church, where
there must be an interpreter, and speaking in tongues during personal
prayer time. (See I Cor. 14:27) Please note that Paul or no other
writer in the bible ever said or hinted that in a persons private
devotion, one word of understanding was equal to 10,000 words
in an unknown tongue. If so, that would have meant that tongues
was a total waste of time and Paul would have not said in I Cor.
14.18 "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all."
He certainly knew it's value. Paul says in I Cor. 14:4 "If I pray
in an unknown tongue my spirit prayeth but my understanding
is unfruitful." Verse 15 says "What is it then? I will pray
with the spirit and I will pray with the understanding
also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing
with the understanding also. Paul even sang in tongues
which he did not understand. I Cor. 14:2 says, "For he that speaketh
in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men but unto God:
for no man understandeth him: howbeit in the spirit he speaketh
mysteries. This word mysteries means divine secrets. Verse 17
says, "For thou verily givest thanks....".
Morris the bible makes a distinction between "the gift of tongues"
which is one of the nine ministry gifts, (I Cor. 12:10) and "speaking
in tongues" as the initial evidence of the baptism of the Holy
Ghost. Acts 2:4 says of the 120 people, including Mary the
mother of Jesus, who were gathered in the upper room on the
day of Pentecost, "and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost
and began to speak with other tongues as the spirit gave them
utterance." Because this happened on the day of Pentecost speaking
in tongues has been mostly associated with so called Pentecostal
people, but may I remind you that tens of millions of believers
of all denominations, around the world have experienced the baptism
with the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in tongues. St. Bartholomew's
Episcopal Church, a large congregation here in Nashville, recently
had a great revival which included healings, miracles, and according
to our Nashville Tennessean newspaper, speaking in tongues.
As on the day of Pentecost, sometimes God still allows those speaking
in tongues to be understood by people who know other languages.
Several years ago I met a lady in Miami, a Roman Catholic from
Hungary, and whose brother was a Catholic Cardinal. A woman stood
up in a tent revival and spoke in tongues not realizing she was
speaking in the Hungarian language. The Catholic lady came to
this woman after church and spoke to her in Hungarian and was
shocked that the woman who spoke in tongues could not understand
her. She said "you do speak Hungarian for I heard you speak it
fluently when you stood in the service tonight." The Catholic
lady was soon converted to the "full gospel" message when she
was told by this woman that she only spoke English and did not
know one word of the Hungarian language. Only God could cause
an English speaking woman to stand up in service and speak fluent
Hungarian. The Catholic lady herself soon experienced the Baptism
of the Holy Spirit and was used by God in another service to speak
Chinese, which she did not know a word of, and win a Chinese speaking
man to God. There are many such accounts. My Dad, who preached
the "full gospel" for 68 years, was on several occasions heard
speaking French and German in praise to God, although he had no
knowledge of these languages. As a rule, it is true as Paul says
in I Cor. 14:2. "He that speaketh in an unknown tongue....no man
understandeth him" but there are times when it pleases the Lord
to cause tongues to be understood, as He did on the day of Pentecost.
there are many more scriptures regarding the baptism of the Holy
Ghost with speaking in other tongues. In Acts chapter 8, Philip
went down to Samaria and preached Jesus and the people
believed and were baptized. See verses 12 and 16. However the
church at Jerusalem sent Peter and John, verse 15, "Who when they
were come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy
Ghost", verse 16, "For as yet he was fallen upon none of them,
only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." Verse
17 says, "Then laid they their hands on them and they received
the Holy Ghost ." Sir, this receiving of the Holy Ghost was an
experience distinct from believing and being baptized for verse
18 says "....Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles
hands the Holy Ghost was given. What manifestation did he see?
Morris, Acts chapter 10 tells of Cornelius, a gentile Roman general,
who along with his household received the baptism of the Holy
Ghost (Spirit) while Peter was preaching to them. Those who had
accompanied Peter from Jerusalem down to Caesarea for this occasion,
knew these gentiles had received the Holy Ghost (verse
46) "For (because) they heard them speak with tongues and magnify
God." Then answered Peter (verse 47) "Can any man forbid water
that these should not be baptized, which have received the
Holy Ghost as well as we?" In Acts chapter 19 we are told
how Paul went to Ephesus (a gentile city of Asia Minor) and finding
certain disciples asked them (verse 2) "Have ye received the Holy
Ghost since ye believed? They understood that they needed
more, so after being baptized in water in the name of the
Lord Jesus (verse 5) we are told in verse 6, "and when Paul had
laid his hands upon them the Holy Ghost came on them and they
spoke with tongues (languages) and prophesied."
Morris, on your radio program you made light of a certain lady,
and others, who had written to you and described how good, or
how much joy they felt while speaking in tongues. You inferred
that this was just a self gratifying thing. Should a person not
feel joy while speaking in tongues if (1) "He is speaking to God"
I Cor. 14:2 (2) He is "edifying" himself or charging his spiritual
battery I Cor. 14:4. Jude verse 20 says "But ye beloved, building
up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
Ghost." (3) He is speaking mysteries I Cor. 14:2 (this word
mysteries means divine secrets) (4) He is giving thanks to
God, I Cor. 14.17. (5) His spirit is praying. I Cor.
Morris, although you obviously have not experienced the baptism
of the Holy Spirit as in these bible examples, you should be very
careful what you say in regard to this matter as the opinions
you stated on radio July 11, 1998 are not based on scripture.
Many people listen to you and are influenced by your teachings
and you could be the cause of multitudes being misinformed on
this important subject, and missing God's best for them. Sir,
I would ask you as Jesus asked Nicodemus in John 3:10 "Art thou
a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?"
Morris, please study these scriptures prayerfully and see if God
will show more light to you regarding the baptism of the Holy
Ghost with initial evidence of speaking in tongues. You are missing
a great blessing by not "praying in the spirit". Romans 8.26 says
"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know
not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself
maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."
Sir, have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?
Christian love,
Joel Hemphill
have not used his real name in this tract.
concerning the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues.
tell someone who has been anointed of God to speak with tongues
that tongues have ceased, is like telling someone who had dreamed
many dreams, that dreaming has ceased. You just know, that you know
that you know. Dear reader, if you are hungry for more of God and
what He has for you, do not seek tongues, seek Him. Jesus
says in Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and
thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled."
Matthew 7:7 says, "Ask...seek...knock..." God is love...joy...peace...righteousness.
Romans 14:17 says "For the kingdom of God is righteousness,
and peace and, joy In the Holy Ghost". It is joy unspeakable
and full of glory!
Corinthians 14:4 "A person speaking in tongues helps himself grow

text: William H. Simon is a highly regarded law professor and legal theorist whose principal subjects include the legal profession. Much of his scholarship challenges conventional professional norms and practices. His most recent article targets lawyers, especially law professors, who advise clients and serve as expert witnesses. His basic premise is that some clients do not seek lawyers' accurate, honest views but want their lawyers to ratify their proposed or past conduct regardless of its lawfulness, and that law professors and other lawyers sometimes satisfy this market by giving "bad legal advice." To discourage lawyers from doing so, and to minimize the impact of lawyers' bad advice on third parties, Simon argues that lawyers should follow more rigorous standards of analysis, transparency, and accountability both when they give advice or expert testimony and when clients later use their legal work to influence others. He argues that legal academics practicing law should meet the most rigorous standards of all--including standards of transparency associated with the academy, not the legal profession*--and, further, that legal academics should regulate each other by "shaming" colleagues who practice badly. In the abstract and at a level of generality, Simon's theory is appealing because it promises to hold lawyers to a higher standard of care for the public good. The *1607 question, however, is how Simon's proposal at a level of particularity would play out in actual law practice. This Reply argues that Simon overstates the problem, understates the significance of existing disincentives to giving erroneous advice, and offers a solution that is difficult to implement and would do more harm than good.

NEW: Tractor Accident Sends Man To U.Va.
A man sustained critical injuries when a tractor rolled over him in Keezletown this morning.
Emergency crews responded to the 3900 block of Wildwood Drive shortly before noon.
Sheriff Bryan Hutcheson said Randy Clatterbuck, 60, was attempting to move a fallen tree on his property with a tractor when it rolled over, temporarily pinning him.
AirCare 5, a medical helicopter, landed nearby. The man was then flown to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville.
This is the first serious farming accident in Rockingham County this year.
Nine people were killed in farm-related accidents in 2013 in Virginia, including one in Rockingham County, according the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation.
In June 2013, a bull trampled a 59-year-old man on a farm near Grottoes.

In the singer-songwriters movement of the 1970s, America were perhaps one of the biggest groups to come out of that era. Hence their name, the group formed in the UK, and one of them Dewey Bunnell was born there (while Gerry Beckley and Dan Peek was born in the US). But it wasn't long before they would be a sensation on both sides of the Atlantic.
In 1971, America released their self-titled debut album, which was a moderate success in Europe. But when the album made its way to America the following year, it became the group's first and only number one album, featuring the classics "A Horse With No Name" (the band's first chart topping single) and "I Need You". That would be followed by 1972's Homecoming, which featured "Ventura Highway", which was said to be the first song to contain the phrase "purple rain", which later became the song, album and film from Prince. The song was also sampled by Janet Jackson.
After a slight stumble with 1973's Hat Trick, (which the lead single "Muskrat Love" later became a hit for Captain & Tennille) America rebounded with 1974's Holiday, and the singles "Tin Man" and "Lonely People". In 1975, they topped the charts again with "Sister Golden Hair". After that successful run, America continued to tour and record, although their popularity was on the wane, but they to score a few hits including the top ten "You Can Do Magic" in 1982.
By the turn of the new century, America began reaching a younger generation, with the release of 2007's Here and Now, which paired new material, with the classics. It featured musicians including Ryan Adams and members of My Morning Jacket. The band has also received accolades from the entertainment industry, with an induction into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: America, eligible since 1996.

College Hockey:Women's D-III wrap: March 2
The NESCAC was the focal point for a pair of major upsets, while other favorites were taken to the brink in similar fashion.
Top-seeded Middlebury's bid to return to familiar territory, an NCAA tournament slot, came to an unforeseen halt at the hands of unheralded Connecticut College in the NESCAC quarterfinals Saturday at Kenyon Arena. Justina Germano capped the significant victory with her third goal of the season at 10:00 of overtime. The No. 4 Panthers ran up a sizzling 14-0-3 record in conference, but must now rely on an at-large bid for an opportunity to suit up again. Middlebury held a 40-20 shots-on-goal advantage over the eighth-seeded Camels, who received a strong performance from junior keeper Kelsie Fralick. The Panthers failed to connect on all nine power-play chances afforded them. Fralick stopped six Panthers shots in the OT. Middlebury's leading scorers, Emily Fluke (14-13-27) and Katie Sullivan (12-11-23), did not dress for the Panthers. The Camels, who trudged through a 4-9-3 conference record this season, posted one victory over a previously ranked club, a 5-4 triumph at home against Amherst. Connecticut College's most significant road win of the year arrived in its last regular season game against Williams.
Outshot 45-10, seventh-seeded Colby slipped past second-seed Amherst, 3-2. Freshman Jess Barkley's marker with 1:18 left in regulation, with helpers by Delaney Flynn and Samantha Slotnick, guaranteed the Mules a semifinal date with Bowdoin next week.
Positive results in the quarterfinals did not play out angst-free for Williams, as Hanna Beattie's goal midway through the final period stood as the deciding marker. Trinity (5-6-5) had knotted the score at 2-2 just 36 seconds earlier on a tally by Lauren Glynn. The Bantams came into the postseason with a 0-2-4 record in their last six outings. The Ephs remain the lone team in the upcoming semifinals with a winning record in NESCAC play.
ECAC East
Torrie Charron scored both goals for No. 3 Norwich, including the game-winner in overtime as the top-seeded Cadets prevailed 2-1 over a tenacious Massachusetts-Boston squad in the semifinals of the ECAC East tournament on Saturday at Kreitzberg Arena. Norwich goalie Taylor Fairchild was nearing what would have been her fifth shutout of the season before Samantha Fallon's score at 18: 16 of the third altered the complexion of the game. Charron's winning score at 6:20 of the extra period gave her 25 goals for the season.
Castleton, a 5-1 victor over second-seeded Salve Regina, earned its first trip to the conference championship in program history and will head to Norwich next weekend in hopes of gaining an automatic NCAA bid.
Wisconsin-Stevens Point got the best of Wisconsin-Superior in a pair of defensive struggles on home ice. The No. 6 Pointers took 2-1 and 1-0 victories over the Yellowjackets. Megan Menotti made good on a power-play opportunity with 49 seconds remaining in regulation for the game-winner in game two. Janna Beilke-Skoug finished with 54 stops in the two-game set for the Pointers, who will face Wisconsin-River Falls for the O'Brien Cup next Saturday in River Falls.
No. 7 St. Thomas fired 51 shots on Concordia goalie Madison Denny, but required a score from the stick of Hannah Bird in overtime to secure a 4-3 win.

Issue 25 - April 1997
The third year of this series kicks off with the Family Reunion storyline. Sivana has used the Rock of the Eternity to rewrite history. By ensuring that Theo Adam never killed the Batsons (Billy and Mary's parents), he has retained the wealth and position which he lost during the Power of SHAZAM graphic novel. In this version of time, C.C.Batson and Marilyn receive the gift of SHAZAM's power to protect them from a cave-in during their expidition to recover the Scorpion artifact (inspired by the Republic serial). C.C.Batson (as Captain Marvel) and Marilyn go on to become a husband and wife super-hero team. SHAZAM, however, realises that something is wrong. After questioning Sivana, he learns that, yes, he could try to reorder time, but doing so will mean killing C.C and Marilyn and destroy the Batsons' hope of a (relatively) normal family life.
Issue 26 - May 1997
The Linear Men are aware of the temporal breach caused by Sivana and insist that SHAZAM restore the time line to its proper form. C.C.Batson agrees to pluck our original Sivana out of the time stream before he sets his own disruptive future in motion. In the mean time, Billy and Mary bluff Ibac into believing that they too have the power of SHAZAM (which, in this time line, they don't), long enough for Marilyn to arrive and drive IBac away.
Issue 27 - June 1997
Waverider catches up with C.C. in the time stream, while he ponders whether or not to set things right or to protect his children. In the end, C.C.Batson agrees to rectify the time line in exchange for Waverider's promise that the children would be well looked-after (a promise fulfilled with the recovery of C.C.'s will, clearing the way for the Bromfields to adopt Billy, as they did with Mary). The end of issue #27 sees SHAZAM reassume his spirit form and position at the Rock of Eternity.
Issue 28 - July 1997
With the timeline more or less restored, Mary Marvel now bears a white and yellow costume, similiar to that Marilyn wore in the Family Reunion timeline, instead of the red and yellow costume that she used to wear. In issue #28, Mary battles Patty-Patty Bang-Bang, a pair of small-time villainesses who get transformed into Terminator-2-like entities by liquid metal from Magnus Robotics. The criminals are neutralised by separating the components of the liquid metal.
Issue 29 - August 1997
It is unclear if issue #29 represents, for the most part, a real story or a dream. In this story, Captain Marvel falls through a supposed magic hat at Billy and Mary's birthday party, and finds himself in a world inhabited by talking rabbits. Billy's transformation to Captain Marvel whilst going through the hat also transforms one of the native animals into Hoppy, the Marvel Bunny. Together, Captain Marvel and Hoppy battle the henchmen (or hench-animals) of an aging magician cast into this world by his protege. The portal to this world starts to collapse as lightning from Billy's transformation is burning the hat in the "real" world. Captain Marvel gets back to his world in the nick of time, only to awaken as Billy, apparently having had a bad dream. Meanwhile, Hoppy swears to perform good deeds on his world in Captain Marvel's name.
Issue 30 - September 1997
Dudley has been haunted (for want of a better word) by Pooka named "Mister Finish" that is "replacing" Tawny as Dudley's companion while Tawny appears in a movie. Mister Finish, who looks very much like a werewolf, tells Dudley that he (Dudley) is fated to die in three days' time, unless Dudley can think of seven people that Finish should take in his stead. Although not intending to accept the offer, Dudley can't help but think of seven people, and that's enough for Finish to start stalking his victims. Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel manage to save the victims from mortal harm, but Dudley's relationship with Billy is strained when it is revealed that Mary is Mister Finish's seventh victim because Dudley resented that being adopted by Mary's parents forced Billy to move away.
Issue 31 - October 1997
In a Genesis tie-in, Billy and Mary find their powers starting to fail them, and the wizard SHAZAM is mysteriously absent. Mary goes in search of Ibis, hoping he can shed light on the Wizard's disappearance. Ibis indicates that his own powers, and those of SHAZAM, may be failing as a result of a crisis of faith. (Unknown to them, this crisis had been brought on by the genesis wave). Meanwhile, Uncle Dudley has been arrested on suspicion of abducting Billy and Mary. This is obviously untrue, but the Bromfields hadn't seen their children for sometime and had reported them missing. When vouching for the kids' safety as Captain Marvel didn't change things, Billy and Mary go to their adopted parents in superhero form (being unable to transform back into children) and reveal the truth about their dual identities.
Issue 32 - November 1997
Billly and Mary track a small a small military aircraft that used windshear to shear the wings off a corporate jet. When the craft is grounded, it is revealed that it was being piloted (by remote control) by Deanna Barr, an airforce test pilot and daughter of Bulletman. Later, Jim Barr (Bulletman and Deanna's father) approaches Billy, asking her to find his daughter who has disappeared and is suspected of stealing the Windshear aircraft. Captain Marvel finds the craft, its pilot and potential buyer in the Rocky Mountains. After a brief aerial combat, Cap learns how to compensate for the craft's windshear and calls dwn SHAZAM's lightning to disable the craft. Deanna was piloting the craft, but as part of a government sting to slush out traitors on the Windshear project.
Issue 33 - December 1997
Captain Marvel tries to help a victim of the Arsonist, who was disfigured during one of the Arsonist's fires, while saving his mother. Captain Marvel thinks that Minerva's Neo-Derm may help restore his friend's looks. After other options fail, Minerva relinquishes enough Neo-Derm for one application, presenting the burns victim with the choice of never restoring his looks or restoring them for one day, only to have them degrade again, when the Neo-Derm wears off. In the end, he decides to use the Neo-Derm for a "normal" day, to help ease himself back into society, after closeting himself away with his deformity.
Issue 34 - January 1998
Billy Batson is kidnapped by thugs, but his abduction is witnessed by Gangbuster. After an ocean chase, Gangbuster rescues Billy. Billy learns that it was James Barr, Bulletman, who ordered the kidnapping, trying to stop him Billy from dating James's adult daughter. Billy accepts James's motives but is less than happy with the means he chose.
Issue 35 - February 1998
This is part 2 of a 4 part story called "Lightning and Stars", crossing over between Starman (issues 39 and 40) and SHAZAM! (issues 35 and 36). Summarising parts 1 and 2, film footage has beel uncovered, purporting to depict Bulletman as a Nazi collaborator during World War II. Bulletman denies the claim, but refuses to state his alibi, as he was on a secret mission when the footage was supposed to be taken. Starman is asked to "run interference" against Captain Marvel, to hive his father and Bulletman time to contact Minuteman (who is still involved with the US government) and obtain clearance to publicly explain the secret mission and thereby cement is alibi. It is becoming clear to the reader that Bulletman has been framed as part of a Neo-Nazi conspiracy involving Captain Nazi's brother. In the mean time, however, Starman crosses paths with Captain Marvel and a fight ensues...
Issue 36 - March 1998
Part 4 part of "Lightning and Stars", following Starman issue 40. Summarising parts 3 and 4, Starman doesn't seem to have the raw power to stop or hurt Captain Marvel and both of them know it. Captain Marvel tries to reason with Starman, but is adamant that Bulletman must be brought to the proper authorities. As the battle heightens, Starman learns new uses for his staff, slowing Captain Marvel down long enough for the O'Dare family (a family of cops) to face him down, forcing Cap to strike out on his own to find Bulletman. When Starman and Captain Marvel face off for a rematch in Fawcett City, it's Mary Marvel who intervenes, explaining that the incriminating footage is a fake. Unfortunately, Minuteman, who Bulletman was counting on to release him from his oath of secrecy, has been shot and killed by Neo-Nazis. Elsewhere, it is revealed that the film footage in question had been faked with the help of a Nazi shape changer called the "Poser", who impersonated Bulletman for the fake footage. In a public rally, Bulletman declares his innocence to a hostile crowd. The Poser confesses his involvement in the conspiracy, clearing Bulletman, but is shot by Neo-Nazis before the Marvel family can intervene.
Year 3 Interludes
Genesis was DC's 1997 summer crossover. The basic plot is that a shockwave from the cataclysm which split Apokolips and New Genesis into two planets has travelled the breadth of the universe (bestowing gods and superheroes with power on its millenia-long journey) and is now on its way back, where it is likely to destroy the wall which separates the Source from the rest of the universe. The Marvel family, like every other hero in the DC universe get caught up in this adventure, first intermittently losing some of their powers and later joining in the team effort to save the universe. Billy and Mary summarise their involvement with Genesis in issue 32 of the Power of SHAZAM. Relevant points for SHAZAM readers from this mini-series include:
The Source which New Genesis draws upon is also, ultimately, the source of the powers which SHAZAM bestows upon his champions.
Mary was chosen (by drawing straws) as one of a select team of super-heroes to enter the Source - a feat then never successfully attempted.
After the crisis had been resolved, SHAZAM decided to stay a while and commune with the Source.
The Highfather has given Billy and Mary Mother Boxes (living computers from New Genesis) to allow them to transform into their superhero forms, in SHAZAM's absence.
Adventures in the DC Universe, Issue 7
Although Adventures in the DCU is not strictly within current DC continuity, it mirrors that continuity when it can. In issue 7 of this series, the Marvel family (or the SHAZAM family, as they are billed on the cover) step into the spotlight. Black Adam has teamed up with Sivana to bring down the Marvels. Sivana has perfected a means of recording and playing Billy's voice saying "SHAZAM", thus allowing him to take away Billy's power at will. While Billy is in Sivana's clutches, Adam goes to fight Mary and Freddy. Billy forces Sivana's hand by pushing them both out a window, forcing the evil genius to ungag Billy, if he wants to Cap to save him from a 40-story plummet. After destroying Sivana's recording device (and saving Sivana's life), Captain Marvel enters the fray with Black Adam, taking him by surprise.
My only criticism of this issue is that a lot of time was spent on character explanations, who people are and how their powers work. Setting aside the major characters (like Superman and Batman), whom everyone knows anyway, I'm told this degree of explanation is not typical of other issues of Adventures in the DCU. My uneasy suspicion, therefore, is that it is indicative of how inaccessible some of the current SHAZAM continuity is to new readers.

Ivy League's 15 Year Reign of TERROR (happy birthday Ivy League)!
It's hard to believe that it's been 15 years since three friends from Canberra set up shop in a tiny office in Sydney's inner west and declared Ivy League records open for business.
1997 was a shaky time for the Australian music industry. Venues were closing their doors and record labels were bowing out more frequently than new bands were forming. Luckily, Pete Lusty, Andy Cassell and Andy Kelly were not deterred by this sad state of affairs and their desire to get the music being made by their friends' bands out into the world overruled their common sense.
Since then the music industry has sadly only become a tougher place for musicians and record labels to get by in. Regardless of this, Ivy League continues to make no compromises when it comes to releasing top notch Australian music which they and their mates would want to listen to.
To celebrate this 15 year milestone we've been in touch with artists and staff who have helped mould Ivy League into one of Australia's most revered record labels. Over the next two weeks we will be updating the Ivy League news with a little Q&A from a bunch of these legends so keep an eye out!

The innate immune system plays a central role in host defence against viruses. While many studies portray mechanisms in early antiviral immune responses of humans and mice, much remains to be discovered about these mechanisms in the cat. With the objective of shedding light on early host-virus interactions in felids, we have developed 12 real-time TaqMan(®) qPCR systems for feline genes relevant to innate responses to viral infection, including those encoding for various IFNα and IFNω subtypes, IFNβ, intracellular antiviral factor Mx, NK cell stimulator IL-15 and effectors perforin and granzyme B, as well as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 3 and 8. Using these newly developed assays and others previously described, we measured the relative expression of selected markers at early time points after viral infection in vitro and in vivo. Feline embryonic fibroblasts (FEA) inoculated with feline leukemia virus (FeLV) indicated peak levels of IFNα, IFNβ and Mx expression already 6h after infection. In contrast, Crandell-Rees feline kidney (CrFK) cells inoculated with feline herpes virus (FHV) responded to infection with high levels of IFNα and IFNβ only after 24h, and no induction of Mx could be detected. In feline PBMCs challenged in vitro with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), maximal expression levels of IFNα, β and ω subtype genes as well as IL-15 and TLRs 3, 7 and 8 were measured between 12 and 24h after infection, whereas expression levels of proinflammatory cytokine gene IL-6 were consistently downregulated until 48h post inoculation. A marginal upregulation of granzyme B was also observed within 3h after infection. In an in vivo experiment, cats challenged with FIV exhibited a 2.4-fold increase in IFNα expression in blood 1 week post infection. We furthermore demonstrate the possibility of stimulating feline immune cells in vitro with various immune response modifiers (IRMs) already known for their immunostimulatory properties in mice and humans, namely Poly IC, Resiquimod (R-848) and dSLIM™, a synthetic oligonucleotide containing several unmethylated CpG motifs. Stimulation of feline PBMCs with dSLIM™ and R-848 effectively enhanced expression of IFNα within 12h by factors of 6 and 12, respectively, and Poly IC induced an increase in Mx mRNA expression of 28-fold. Altogether, we describe new molecular tools and their successful use for the characterization of innate immune responses against viruses in the cat and provide evidence that feline cells can be stimulated by synthetic molecules to enhance their antiviral defence mechanisms.

Microsoft (MSFT) continues its evolution in a post-PC age. But if the recent mobile strategy for MS Office is any indication, it will continue to lag woefully behind.
The news last week was that a pared-down version of flagship Office software from Microsoft has hit the Apple (AAPL) iPhone. On the surface, it's an admission from Steve Ballmer & Co. that it has to do more with third-party mobile operating systems.
But MSFT isn't giving the Office suite away, no sir. Right now you can only get the iPhone version by paying $100 a year for the cloud-based Office 365 software package — both for Windows and for iOS. And the Office suite still will not be available on the iPad or Android devices powered by Google (GOOG).
So those investors who think Microsoft is interested in new revenue streams are mistaken. As always, MSFT continues to be very concerned with owning its ecosystem of products — but this time, worrying about cannibalization of its Surface tablet instead of the already inevitable move away from PCs.
Microsoft has been pushing subscription-based Office 365 as a way to get customers to keep paying for the software that typically had been a one-shot purchase in the past. The efforts seem to have worked, with Microsoft's Business division (of which Office is the flagship) recording a 5% revenue increase in Q1 over 2012 as sales increased 10% to businesses. That's in contrast to flat performance for the Windows division of MSFT.
But unless Windows can figure out a way to get its hands on mobile revenue, these gains won't last. You can't offset declining PC/Windows sales forever simply by making people pay an annual fee for PC-based Office software instead of a one-time charge.
The foray into the iPhone App Store makes for a nice headline, but what's the point? It's still tethered to Office 365 subscriptions and it ignores the tablet market. And how many iPhone users are really going to squint at their iPhones to manage a spreadsheet?
An analyst with Edward Jones told Fox News that "Microsoft isn't likely to offer Office on the iPad and other tablets until it sees sufficient adoption of Windows tablets first." But Microsoft sold just 900,000 Surface tablets in Q1 — half the 1.8 million Kindles from Amazon (AMZN) that were sold and a fraction of the 8.8 million Samsung (SSNLF) devices and 19.5 million iPads sold.
Don't hold your breath on that "sufficient adoption."
Furthermore, a Nomura analyst warned that delaying a tablet version of Office does more harm than good.
"Office is a bigger business for Microsoft than Windows, so we see more urgency to preserve and extend the Office franchise cross platform," he said.
In other words, if Microsoft is too concerned with keeping folks in its Windows/Surface universe and not concerned enough about getting its iconic Office software out there to remain relevant … well, it ultimately will wind up with less revenue and profit. That's because keeping people in Office is much more important than keeping people on Windows, mobile PC or otherwise.
This is an uncomfortable moment for Microsoft. It's seeing the end of its Windows empire and the dawn of something new. MSFT continues to hope that the brave new world is one where Windows Phone and Surface become dominant players, but investors need to understand that the company seems to be putting all its efforts into that worldview — and if it doesn't close the gap on Google, Amazon or Apple soon, it might never do so.
If that reality plays out, then Microsoft needs to get whatever software it can onto the dominant players' mobile platforms or risk the slow and inevitable decline of its entire business model.

Volvo FH series
Volvo FMX
Volvo FM
Volvo FE
Volvo FL
The new Volvo FH makes it possible to increase uptime more than ever before. On-board technology lets the workshop carry out an inspection of vital parts while the truck is on the road. This means that maintenance can be planned according to when it's actually needed.
This piece of world news is made possible by Telematics Gateway, the communication unit in the Volvo FH that keeps the truck, driver and operator one step ahead in various situations. For maintenance based on real needs, it sends a report to the workshop so the technician can see the status of vital parts, such as the brake pads, clutch, battery and air dryer.
''If these are in better condition than expected the workshop can adjust the service plan so the vehicle gets its service when it actually needs it,'' says Christian Gustavsson, in charge of Volvo Trucks service.
As part of the new Volvo Gold Contract offer, this allows customers to forget about the service plan and let the workshop take care of it. The technician keeps track of the truck's mileage, how quickly parts are wearing and adjusts the service plan accordingly – and calls you for maintenance when the truck needs it.
''Being able to inspect the wear remotely means you don't have to visit the workshop too often – and you get the service done before it's too late,'' says Christian Gustavsson.
The fact that there are so many things that need to be serviced on a truck means that this reality-based approach has an important effect on uptime and operator profitability. ''The transport operator gets more effective use out of the truck – and more ton-kilometres,'' says Christian Gustavsson.
And in the event of a breakdown, the on-board communication unit and VAS On Call button allow Volvo to send the right technical resources to get the truck back on the road. "There's no point in denying it – breakdowns cannot be avoided altogether. But what we can do is make it easier to get help when they occur," says Christian Gustavsson.
When the driver pushes the button, a telephone call is automatically connected and data is sent to a call centre (in designated countries). The operator sees the location of the vehicle and its diagnostic trouble codes. All the driver needs to do is confirm what has happened.
"Instantly this gives us a better overview of the situation – so we can get the right assistance out to the vehicle, giving you peace of mind that help is on its way," adds Christian Gustavsson, rounding up. ''It's like having a virtual technician on-board.''

It never ceases to amaze, the odd behavior of today's politician, or the ridiculous justifications they offer, and expect us to accept, for their oddities.
In many households it can be seen that finances are regulated via an "envelope system." That is, there exists a series of envelopes each marked with an intended purpose for budgeting. One maybe marked "mortgage" or "rent." Others may be marked "gas", "electric", "cable television", and even perhaps "health insurance."
Each pay period a calculated percentage of household income is apportioned into the various envelopes in order to make sure the money is there to cover the bills. It's a very simple and effective method of controlling home finances.
Of course, with today's advanced technologies, the envelope system now looks a little different. It may look more like an Excel spreadsheet, but the intended purpose and the goals achieved are the same.
Our federal government also has a sort of "envelope system" into which our tax dollars are distributed. Their envelopes are marked a bit differently though, they have names like "national defense", "social security", "Medicare"; the list goes on ad infinitum.
Now, in spite of an outpouring of public resistance, they've added another envelope to the system. Let's call it "health care for all."
This new "health care for all" envelope is structured to fund a six year entitlement with ten years of taxes which will begin now, but will not reap any substantial benefits until, according to some reports, 2014.
Now keep in mind that the federal government has envelopes of differing sizes. One of the bigger envelopes is titled "general fund" and serves to fund many and varied functions too numerous to list here.
Years ago the politicians in Washington saw that the "social security" envelope was being stressed to its limits by an excess amount of cash. They decided that it would be better if the "social security" envelope, or at least its contents, were moved to the bigger "general fund" envelope. The social security set asides were then used for all sorts of other purposes.
Now, because of the infinite wisdom of politicians in Washington, we see that the social security system is in the proverbial red and set to fail if something isn't done (means tax increases or benefit reductions to you and me).
The question now is, "will the new tax hikes be re-apportioned, as were the social security taxes, when the 'health care for all' envelope shows signs of stress from an abundance of cash before they can be used for their intended purpose?"
Perhaps these new taxes will go to buy Speaker Pelosi a new jet or, at the very least, serve to expand her office's budget for alcohol.
It will be interesting to see how all this plays out, but one thing is certain; today's politician is an oddity indeed.

Users do not have to describe themselves as male or female, with 50 other terms including androgynous, bi-gender and transsexual.
08:59, UK, Monday 17 February 2014
Facebook users who do not want to identify their gender as male or female now can select from around 50 other terms.
Among the new ones added by the social network site are androgynous, bi-gender, cisgender, intersex, gender fluid and transsexual.
There are also three preferred pronoun options: him, her or them.
The company said the changes were aimed at giving people more choice in how they describe themselves.
The move came after years of lobbying from users, some of whom started Facebook pages to petition for the change.
Facebook worked closely with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) activist groups to compile the new list of gender identity options.
Company spokesman Will Hodges told Techcrunch.com: "While to many this change may not mean much, for those it affects it means a great deal.
"We see this as one more way we can make Facebook a place where people can express their authentic identity."
Facebook software engineer Brielle Harrison worked on the project and is herself undergoing gender transformation, from male to female.
She said: "There's going to be a lot of people for whom this is going to mean nothing, but for the few it does impact, it means the world.
"All too often transgender people like myself and other gender nonconforming people are given this binary option, do you want to be male or female? What is your gender?
"And it's kind of disheartening because none of those let us tell others who we really are.
"This really changes that, and for the first time I get to go to the site and specify to all the people I know what my gender is."
But the latest development seemed senseless to those who believe in two genders.
Jeff Johnston from national religious organisation Focus On The Family said: "Of course Facebook is entitled to manage its wildly popular site as it sees fit.
"But here is the bottom line: it's impossible to deny the biological reality that humanity is divided into two halves - male and female.
"Those petitioning for the change insist that there are an infinite number of genders, but just saying it doesn't make it so. That said, we have a great deal of compassion for those who reject their biological sex and believe they are the opposite sex."

In a possible gift for fans, Sledgehammer Games is working to have Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare featured in the next season of House of Cards.
According to Tim Turi of Game Informer; Sledgehammer Games is hoping to have several scenes were Frank Underwood (played by Kevin Spacey) is shown playing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, which also stars Spacey in the role of Jonathon Irons.
Given the many occasions that Underwood has been featured playing on his PlayStation 3, having him play Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare would be seen as a treat to the fans. Sledgehammer Games co-founder Michael Condrey has stated that Spacey and Dana Brunetti support the idea.
Glen Schofield, Sledgehammer Games other co-founder, has also suggested that they are open to the idea of having Irons make reference to watching House of Cards.
After the official trailer was unveiled, the most talked about moment was Spacey role as the main villain. His performance has been well-praised by the game media and fans while the character of Johnathan Irons has been compared to Frank Underwood.
Call of Duty: Advance Warfare will be the eleventh game in the popular series that has sold over 100 million copies and on average has 40 million active players a month. The game is set to be released on November 4.

Delivering Technical Information: In the Beginning Was the Typewriter...
By Joesciallo-Oracle on Sep 17, 2007
We in Communications Suite recognize that this new information landscape brings with it a certain confusion and Wild West atmosphere to what used to be a fairly calm endeavor (just go to the product docs repository (aka docs.sun.com) to find (if you can) the info that you are looking for.
My take is that publishing more information rather than less--especially when we recognize there are gaps in the product docs--is a good thing. Is this a problem? In general, I don't think so. I believe that the Comms community realizes that publishing venues such as blogs and wikis might not carry the same kind of sanctified stamp that a manual or an article carries, but the information is welcome nonetheless. An additional boon for customers: with these tools such as wikis and blogs, we no longer operate under the excuse of, well, it's too hard to push out new information to DSC between software releases. We can operate more in a continuous info release mode.
I also think that by putting information out in these less-official channels gives customers the chance to work on and solve problems as they arise, and to give the folks at Sun a chance to receive more feedback on where we can improve our information delivery efforts. And, where appropriate, we can fold in information from a wiki or a blog into the product docs, to give that information an official home and hopefully make it easier to retrieve in the future.
One valid complaint: how do I keep track of all this information from release to release? To help solve this issue, at least with tech articles and notes, you should refer to the Comms Hub Technical Articles tab, which now provides a complete historical listing of all our tech notes and articles. Part of my duties is to keep this index current and up to date.
Are we in the midst of a documentation/information revolution? From where I sit, in Tech Pubs, I'd say yeah, but it's a revolution that's still forming without any one clear leading movement. My hope is that customers will tell us more and more what works and what doesn't work--that is, we'll let the community drive adoption of the tools that are best at solving customer information needs.

Cheap Nokia 2730 classic, 2720 fold and 7020 announced
Nokia has just unveiled three new phones targeted at emerging markets: Nokia 2730 classic, Nokia 7020 and Nokia 2720 fold.
All phones are "Internet-ready", featuring Ovi Mail and Nokia Life Tools – the two services first announced in November 2008.
They will be commercially available starting the third quarter of 2009, except for the 7020, which should go on sale in the fourth quarter of the year.
Nokia 2730 classic is, as its name suggests, a candybar – one that looks fairly good:
The specs of Nokia 2730 classic include 3G, a 2 inch QVGA screen, a 3.5mm headset jack and expandable memory. The handset will be sold for €80 ($107), before taxes and subsidies.
Nokia 7020 is a clamshell that "uses light, color and metal finishes to convey personal style".
It will come for €90 ($120), with features like a 2.2 inch QVGA internal display, FM radio and a 2MP camera.
Lastly, Nokia 2720 fold is an ultra-basic handset, sporting a 120 x 160 pixels internal display, a 1.3MP camera and a "mirror-effect design".
The 2720 fold will be sold for only €55 ($74).
"With our longstanding commitment to emerging markets, a Nokia customer can be confident that any product we offer meets a strict and consistent set of high-quality standards. This is particularly important in markets where technical assistance and repair shops are not easily accessible," said Alex Lambeek, Vice President at Nokia.

INDEX to entire text
Excerpt from Introduction pp. 13 & 14 The Revival of the Workhorse  Not so long ago many considered the art of working horses and mules in harness to be a dying craft. It was believed that when the few hundred remaining old teamsters passed on the workhorse would reside solely as a historical relic; a curiosity a cultural ghost. Few had envisioned 25 years ago that thousands would be drawn to this mode of work and transportation for practical as well as romantic reasons but they have. Dwindling draft horse numbers have done an about face with every breed showing substantial growth. Now in corners all across North America you can see workhorses and mules plowing logging mowing hauling seeding and harvesting crops. Today over 200 000 people have chosen to depend on the workhorse or mule. Cottage industries have sprung up all across North America to support what has become an unexpected phenomenon the revival of the workhorse. Every indication is that this is not a fad or passing fanciful flirtation with the near past. It is a solid rebuilding of the architecture of the concept of and feasibility of work horses and mules as a motive power option because many of us see the place the need and the value of the workhorse in the modern world. And this revival is not an empty threat by a few fanatics to replace internal combustion. It is the dedication of many sensible thoughtful intelligent folk to the preservation development and application of a humane modern animal power source as a reasonable option for today.  In this revival business we as the draft animal industry are evolving onto a plateau or what I believe to be a second stage of growth (an indication that this is not a fad). With some years behind us and many patterns available to suggest trends or problems or hope many are concerned that future growth depends on better-educated teamsters and better trained animals.  It is true that many people came to this subtle and complex business of workhorses ill-prepared with nothing but high expectations and no experience. And that far too many of these newcomers were met with horrible or unfortunate first experiences which soured them to the craft. This was tragically unnecessary.  Our work with the quarterly SMALL FARMER'S JOURNAL and other publications such as THE WORK HORSE HANDBOOK has been dedicated in no small way to the needs of newcomers because of our belief that they represent an opportunity to shape a better tomorrow for WORK HORSES.  This book is aimed in part at these newcomers. This text is not written specifically as a handbook for the inexperienced to train their own horses. I hold that people inexperienced with horses should not attempt to train them. It would be ideal to imagine that any who read this come with a fair measure of teamster experience but we must be realistic. Those most hungry for information will be those who come fresh and inexperienced. So I have attempted to present two texts wrapped into one hopefully addressing the needs of several categories none the least of which is the newcomer.

Romney Breaks With McCain on Syria
BELMONT, Mass.—Mitt Romney stopped short of advocating for military intervention in Syria in a news conference Tuesday, marking a break with his prominent supporter Arizona Sen. John McCain.
Mr. Romney said military actions were an option, "but at the current stage I'm not favoring military involvement, direct military involvement by the United States."
His comments come a day after one of his top supporters, Mr. McCain, pushed for the U.S. to launch airstrikes on Syria.
While voters in 10 states hit the polls to vote in the GOP primary, it was a day heavy on foreign news as President Barack Obama defended his Iran policy as his Republican opponents tore into him at an American Israel Public Affairs Committee gathering.
Mr. Obama accused the GOP field of taking the idea of war with Iran too casually.
"I think all of us are being pretty serious," Mr. Romney said in his news conference.
The former Massachusetts governor touted his support for Israel as well, saying, "I can tell you one difference between this president and myself is that I believe we should have Israel's back and that does include military support."
The campaign's finances have also come under closer scrutiny after the Romney team far outspent what it had raised in January.
Mr. Romney said he didn't have any plans to contribute his own funds to his campaign and would "keep on raising the money necessary to go forward." While the candidate put millions of his own fortune into his 2008 bid, he has so far avoided the move this cycle.
While January's fund-raising numbers showed an expensive month for the front-runner, he still benefited from a larger war chest than anyone else in the GOP field.
One of Mr. Romney's challenges has been attracting new, small donors. He brushed off the concern Tuesday.
"We've worked very hard to organize a full campaign, including fund-raising capacity throughout the country," Mr. Romney said. "We built the kind of organization you have to have to go up against President Obama, who will have a billion dollars. He'll far outspend our Republican nominee, but we're in a very good position to raise the money we need to stand up to his message and his effort."
The Democratic National Committee isssued a statement after Mr. Romney's press conference: "Mitt Romney continued to make false and irresponsible statements about President Obama's record of standing up to Iran. While Romney has stepped up his criticisms in recent days, he has failed to say what—short of declaring war on Iran—he would do differently from the President."

Katie Yeager and her ex-boyfriend, Joey Maes, are reportedly headed to court. Currently, the former "Teen Mom 3" star is raising her daughter and planning for a major move, but first, she and Maes will allegedly sort out their custody arrangement for their three-year-old daughter, Molli.
On "Teen Mom 3," fans watched as Yeager and Maes had a major falling out, which ended their relationship and made it hard to co-parent. In the years that followed, Maes reportedly began using drugs, and now, judging by a few recent tweets from Yeager, he's failing to pay child support.
According to an Aug. 19 report by Wetpaint Entertainment, Yeager recently revealed that Maes "lives in California." She also recently tweeted, "No money to take your child. No money to get her a gift. But thank God you always have money for drugs. Priorities."
Although Yeager's tweets weren't directed at anyone in particular, many assumed they were directed at Maes, and since he's out of the picture, the shoe fits. Luckily, Yeager appears to be making some headway when it comes to getting her former significant other to help her out financially in raising their daughter.
"I'm so happy the boy will be in town before court, I wouldn't be able to do this without him," Yeager tweeted, hinting that she and Maes would soon be going to court to sort out their ongoing issues.
Meanwhile, things between Yeager and her mystery boyfriend are getting serious. Earlier this month, Yeager revealed plans to move to Las Vegas to be closer to her boyfriend. She also tweeted to fans, saying she's looking for work in Sin City.
Hopefully, Yeager and Maes' custody arrangement will be worked out before she leaves. Either way, Maes is long-distance and that is sure to make things hard for him to see Molli, but if he is using drugs, it is probably best he doesn't see her.

2006 RWA National Conference
by Sandy Coleman
Okay, I'll spare all of you the day by day report and just get straight to the good stuff.
The Buzz: Historicals are "back" and editors are actively looking for good manuscripts.
The Highlight:
The RITAs. Unquestionably. With a funny, charming, and savvy host in Nora Roberts - who clearly is in far better accord with RWA president Gayle Wilson than with last year's model - the ceremony was fast, funny, and enjoyable as hell. Gayle Wilson's "bio" of Lifetime Achievement Award winner Susan Elizabeth Phillips (including her past as a former street prostitute) was nothing short of hysterical. And how cool was it to have none other than Linda Howard present the RITA to Ms. Roberts? Trust me - it was very cool, indeed.
The Zoo: The literacy signing which seemed more crowded than ever before. And, based on the fact that this year's signing generated a record donation to benefit adult literacy, I'm thinking that my impression that this year's event was the most crowded I'd ever attended was, indeed, correct. Note to romance readers everywhere: if you haven't ever attended the annual literacy signing, don't miss it if you ever get the opportunity to go. Imagine table after table filled with romance authors - from debut writers to an always impressive array of bestsellers - there to meet and greet readers. If you have even the smallest degree of romance fandom in you, it truly is an unforgettable event.
The Up and Comer: An Aussie woman who told me she's been writing for twenty years deserves this honor. Karen Schwartz is a regular AAR reader ("it's my favorite website!") who finaled in the Golden Heart for Long Historicals and who earns this designation because of information given to me by another published Avon writer. Apparently, the Powers that Be were so impressed with her sensual new voice that her first book is being brought in at the Avon Romantic Treasure level, a designation that gives the book a higher print run and greater promotional support than is usual for a debut author. I'll be anxiously awaiting her first release to be published under the name Anna Chancellor in Spring 2007.
The Big Complaint: The bar. Or rather the lack thereof. In my two previous conferences, the bar has always served as a central meeting point and, as everyone knew, cruising through at any time of the afternoon or evening led to many unexpected opportunities to chat with people you might not otherwise see. Inexplicably, the bar at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis didn't open until 5 pm (!) and was decidedly un-cruiseable due to the fact that it was set at the top of some kind of weird mezzanine reached only after climbing a set of alarmingly steep steps that wouldn't be out of place in a Mayan temple. As a result, casual "run-ins" at this conference were restricted to the lunch café and, in my case anyway, the bathroom - where I actually ran into none other than Lisa Kleypas and Kathryn Smith.
Personal Big Moments: Meeting Julie Garwood, who is as beautiful and charming as you think she would be and who revealed that she is writing a Medieval romance (yeah!). Also - big thrill here - attending Nora Roberts' fabulous pre-Rita cocktail party for the first time. Standing in that beautiful suite and seeing the likes of Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Jo Beverley and Jennifer Cruisie and, of course, Ms. Roberts herself, was pretty darn thrilling to a long-time romance reader.
Who can it be now?:
The author who, in a major conference speech, stated that any one-star Amazon reviews of her books were solely motivated by envy? The author who gave this reviewer The Cut Direct throughout an entire luncheon motivated by - hey, you do the math - a less than stellar review in direct contrast to yet another author at the same table in receipt of same who introduced herself in a forthright and friendly manner and who actually shook my hand? And, last but decidedly not least, the much-beloved author who, to my eyes, anyway, seemed to be just a bit out of the loop following her recent change of direction? Any guesses?
With no perceptible train wrecks (a la last year's controversial RITA ceremony), this year's RWA conference was a fun and exciting event for this intrepid reporter - as evidenced by my exhaustion when I finally dragged myself home on Sunday afternoon. I just hope they get that bar thing back on track.

Gov. Shumlin, emergency officials urge Vermonters to watch weather reports and conditions
June 27, 2013 - MONTPELIER - Gov. Peter Shumlin and Joe Flynn, head of the Vermont Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, today urged Vermonters to keep an eye on weather reports in the coming days, and use special care if forecasts of heavy rainfall, high winds and flooding become reality.
"We certainly hope that the weather clears and water levels drop," the Governor said. But, he noted, many streams and rivers are saturated from several days of steady rain. The National Weather Service in Burlington is forecasting additional heavy rainfall – particularly overnight Thursday and into Friday -- that could result in serious flooding across the state.
"As we've learned from past experience, it's better to prepare for the worst, even as we hope for the best," Gov. Shumlin said.
The state is under a flood watch today, and the National Weather Service is forecasting heavier rainfall. Lake Champlain and other waterways are approaching flood stage, and the Governor said nearby homeowners and business owners should keep an eye on water levels. He said Vermonters should use common sense in traveling if the weather becomes more severe, avoiding water-covered roads, making sure to drive at safe speeds especially during downpours, and preparing for power outages by having water, food and other supplies on hand. Even if rain lessens Friday, rivers may not reach their crest until Saturday or later. Lake Champlain, already above 98 feet, may reach flood stage of 100 feet or above days later.
Gov. Shumlin requested a FEMA representative to be on hand Friday in the event of serious flooding, and the state is working with the Red Cross to ensure shelters are open if needed.
In addition, Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn said the state's Emergency Operations Center will open tonight at 6:30 p.m., and remain in operation as needed, possibly through the upcoming weekend. That office is staffed by representatives from AOT, Public Safety, the Vermont National Guard, the Agencies of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Departments of Public Service and Health, search and rescue, and others. Flynn said Vermonters who see emergency situations – roadway flooding, for example – should report those to local officials, including police, fire and emergency management officers, who will be in contact with the Emergency Operations Center.
The Vermont Agency of Transportation, which has been repairing washed-out and weather damaged roadways in several locations this week, has crews and equipment on standby to respond quickly if upcoming storms create further problems. The agency has chain saws fueled and ready to go, barriers/signs/cones prepared for use if needed, hand and power tools ready, as well as state message boards. In addition, southern districts are ready to move north with people and equipment when and if needed. Rail, airports and public transit systems are also preparing for potential weather-related problems.
The Agency of Agriculture is suggesting farmers stay alert and take precautions, such as charging generators, securing extra feed if needed, and moving animals and equipment to higher ground.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding on Wednesday advised state agency secretaries to stay connected and available in the coming days in the event a weather emergency is declared. Vermont utilities have been geared up for power outages throughout this week's storms, and remain ready to respond if additional outages are reported.

Forbes has officially named Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as the top grossing actor of 2013. Iron Man 3 is the top grossing movie, but The Rock beat out Robert Downey Jr. by making Fast & Furious 6, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and two other smaller films, compared to Downey's one. Together The Rock's movies racked up $1.3 billion globally.
This is not to say that The Rock was the largest earning actor, that he's the top grossing actor with the movies he appeared in during 2013.

Laurel Fork Falls – Pickens County, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Pickens County Photos | Laurel Fork Falls
There are two ways to reach the Laurel Fork Falls. The most popular (and easiest) way is to travel by boat on beautiful Lake Jocasee. However, if you are feeling adventurous, there is an 8-mile hike – one way! – that will take you to the falls.
Laurel Fork, like many of our state's waterfalls, is best seen after it has rained for a few days. The falls drop 80 feet and spill into Lake Jocassee, providing visitors a spectacular view.
Lake Jocassee (pronounced "Joe-kass-ee") is managed by Duke Energy and provides electricity to many residents in the Upstate. The lake is located in Oconee County and Pickens County, and there are some primitive camping areas around the falls available for public use.
Laurel Fork Falls Add Info and More Photos
The purpose of the South Carolina Picture Project is to celebrate the beauty of the Palmetto State and create a permanent digital repository for our cultural landmarks and natural landscapes. We invite you to add additional pictures (paintings, photos, etc) of Laurel Fork Falls, and we also invite you to add info, history, stories, and travel tips. Together, we hope to build one of the best and most loved SC resources in the world!

New iPad Reportedly Suffers From Overheating Issues
Apple Support communities flooded with questions from affected owners.
The new iPad is definitely a hit among users, which is quite clear by the reported sales figures of 3 million units sold in just three days. The exceptional Retina display, new 5 MP rear camera, and quad core graphics processor with 4G LTE support has made the device stand out from its previous iterations. However, not all users seem to be having a great time with the new iDevice.
The Apple Support Community has questions and feedback about the new gizmo suffering from overheating at the lower left corner. A Dutch site, Tweakers.net, has done some research on the issue and posted results that clearly show that the new iPad is definitely warmer than its predecessor. The thermal image has been taken after benchmarking the new iPad and iPad 2 for five minutes. We are still waiting for the launch of the new iPad in India. Do let us know if you would be considering purchasing the tablet with all these concerns running around, or you will wait for Apple to fix the issue first.

Volleyball: The Huskies kicked off their 2011 season with the NIU Invitational, where they compiled a 2-2 record between Friday and Saturday. Northern Illinois opened the tournament with a 3-1 win over IUPUI. On Friday night, NIU posted an impressive 3-0 sweep against Cincinnati - a team that went to the NCAA Tournament last season and received votes in the AVCA Preseason Poll. However, the Huskies dropped both of their matches on Saturday, falling to No. 18 Iowa State, 3-1, and No. 14 Northern Iowa, 3-0.
Men's Soccer: The Huskies used a dominant first half and stingy defense to take down the Billikens of Saint Louis, 2-1, in NIU's first regular season match of 2011. Northern Illinois tallied goals in the 36th and 42nd minutes - in addition to out-shooting SLU, 8-1 - to take a commanding 2-0 lead into the half. Despite numerous chances for Saint Louis, goalkeeper Jordan Godsey and the NIU defense never relinquished the lead.
Women's Soccer: The Huskies dropped both of their matches this weekend, as they hosted South Dakota State, North Dakota and Western Michigan in the NIU Tourney. On Friday, Northern Illinois took on SDSU and fell by a score of 3-0, despite shutting out the Jackrabbits in the second half. NIU returned to the pitch on Sunday, but had similar results, as they were downed by the Fighting Sioux of North Dakota, 2-0.
The 2011-12 year gets even busier this week, as football and cross country open up their respective seasons, while volleyball, men's soccer and women's soccer all hit the road for more tournament action. Stay tuned to www.niuhuskies.com for all the latest news on Huskie athletics.
