On March 18, 1990, thirteen works of art, today worth over $500 million, were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. It remains the largest unsolved art heist in history, and Claire Roth, a struggling young artist, is about to discover that there's more to this crime than meets the eye.
Making a living reproducing famous artworks for a popular online retailer and desperate to improve her situation, Claire is lured into a Faustian bargain with Aiden Markel, a powerful gallery owner. She agrees to forge a painting - a Degas masterpiece stolen from the Gardner Museum - in exchange for a one-woman show in his renowned gallery. But when that very same long-missing Degas painting is delivered to Claire's studio, she begins to suspect that it may itself be a forgery.
Her desperate search for the truth leads Claire into a labyrinth of deceit where secrets hidden since the late 19th century may be the only evidence that can now save her life.
©2012 Barbara Shapiro (P)2012 HighBridge Company
"A clever, twisty novel about art, authenticity, love, and betrayal. B. A. Shapiro knows about Degas, and she knows about art theft and forgery, and she also knows how to tell a gripping story." (Tom Perrotta)
"Engrossing forage into art forgery and intrigue"
This a page turner throughout: a fascinating, imperiled protagonist, plenty of twists, and good pacing. The background on art forgery, Boston, and museum politics is enlightening and never extraneous to the character's perspective. As an oil painter, I also appreciated the artistic vision of the characters, as well as the personal history of famous painters which wove throughout the story.
"Very Entertaining Art and Crime Story"
Not a towering literary feat, but a good strong story that I thoroughly enjoyed. Wonderful writing about impressionist art and forgery techniques. Art lovers will particularly like this book, but even if you don't think of yourself as an art love you might want to try this---it could well turn you into a fan of the impressionists. Highly recommended.
Always moving. Always listening. Always learning. "After all this time?" "Always."
"The Art Forger"
On March 18, 1990, two thieves broke into the The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, and stole thirteen work of art, including five works by Edgar Degas - four drawings and a painting. This book imagines the trajectory of the painting, described as one in Degas' Bathers series. [The painting taken from the Gardner was not in the Bathers series.]
Claire Roth is a professional art forger, and works for the fictional reproductions. Her specialty is Degas, although she can copy other masters and genres. Claire is an artist in her own right, but she has been a pariah in the art community for three years. The reason she has been cast out is a key part of the story.
Claire is aproached by art gallery owner Adrien Markel to make a reproduction of the stolen Degas painting, and Markel promises her a one woman show in exchange.
Edward Degas, Isabella Stewart Gardner, and Gardner's great grand niece are key players.
I would listen to the narrator of this book, X.E. Sands, read a grocery list. She is just that good, and she was an ideal choice to narrate this book.
I found that the plot, although definitely a tangled web, was predictable in the last third or so. I would have liked to have known more about Gardner herself, and I hope B.A. Shapiro writes more about her, either fiction or non-fiction.
This is B.A. Shapiro's first novel. It's made several best seller lists, and is an Indie Book Dealer Best of 2012. I learned more about oil painting than I ever expected to know - or even thought I'd be interested in. The book isn't teachy, but I learned a lot.

Never without an audible book on my phone!
"Alternative Foray Into the Art World"
This book had all the elements of a good story...interesting premise, intriguing characters, mystery, romance, etc. I liked the foray into the art world from an alternative perspective (forgery). It wasn't perfect...the characters weren't as deep as I would have liked and, of course, their morals were a bit off, and there were parts that were not plausible. But, all in all, it was an enjoying read.
Alternative art perspective.
She read the main character as tired and depressed.
The main character, Claire. I would want to know what in her childhood, upbringing caused her to be a "pretender."
"Good Story. Not such a good narrator"
I very much liked this story however I almost stopped listening in the beginning as the narrator sounded very whiney and annoying. If you stick with it past the first few chapters the narration improves though could be better.
It kept me interested, not necessarily on edge of seat.
Whiney, annoying
"Wiil buy the paperbook"
I wanted to love this book - but I could not get past the narrator's voice.
"Difficult genre"
Isabella Gardner and her museum are real. The focus of the book, a Degas painting, is total fiction based on fact. Degas did do a series of bathers but not this one. If you Google the painting you are referred to B.A. Shapiro! Years ago I was overcome at the sight Renior's Luncheon of the Boating Party when Ms Shapiro attempts to describe first seeing a Degas painting my own experience allowed me to understand what was happening. I never have been able to express those feeling and emotions experienced at that first viewing of the painting and had a lighter heart realizing Ms Shapiro couldn't do it either. Some of Ms Shapiro's facts I question but art and its study are subjective and it didn't hurt me to listen to a different point of view. I am an avid art lover including the Impressionists but if you are not extremely interested in art perhaps this book is not for you. As for the interpersonal relationships and who done it quality they are only OK. I hesitate either to recommend or not recommend this book - sorry!
"Sometimes Reads Like Chic-Lit"
The story line is excellent and original - but I mostly napped or fast-forwarded through the Part 1, and the action doesn't really start until Part 2. I usually yawn through interludes where old correspondence is read when such letter-reading interludes are employed merely to add texture. In this case, I became tired of listening to Ms. Gardner's shopping escapades and travels with brand name artists and art critics and I didn't think it mattered to hear about the details of Degas life as seen by someone who knew him. Other readers might love this, so it's just one of my proclivities, or negativities, as the case may be.
There are some sexual diversions, which are brief and succinct, thankfully, because this is not chic-fic, but there are also some passages which are outright pollyanna-ish - there could have been a better way to expand on the moments that the protagonist is finally becoming successful, instead of having her sound like Dorothy clicking her heels, "not in Kansas" any more.
I also think that including sex and romance with the "deal with the devil" is predictable and overdone, but perhaps that helps sell books and to fund the ongoing flow of audiobooks for our consumption and enjoyment, who can figure, except editors and marketing gurus.
The writer masters the true-crime parts of the story effectively, mixing the facts of the actual art heist smoothly with fictional inventions and story arc.
I generally like Xe Sands as a narrator - but for this book I thought she sounded too girlish and neither ironic nor "noir" enough for this story. Her voice occasionally gives an innocence, sensuality and enthusiasm which I didn't think worked with the plot line.
I am giving this a 4 instead of a 5 because of the disconnect between story and reader. I wish I could give it a 4.5, because said disconnect is not a huge factor and only occasionally affected my listening groove.
"Worth a sale credit - listen to a sample first"
Here's what I liked about this book: There weren't a lot of coincidences, not a lot of aha moments, and not a very forgiving attitude toward the main character.
Here's what I didn't like: The main character, the story's lack of depth, and the narration.
Regarding the narration: I felt the narrator's voice was too old for the character, too shaky, too verge-of-tears at all times. For someone who is neither an artist nor a collector, I needed to care about the characters to care about the story, and the narration left me wishing for a younger, hipper, and (while notably wronged and weak after her experiences) savvier person to take me through the processes.
I'm a bibliophile since early childhood. Love speculative fiction, odd premises, mystery novels that teach about different places and times.
"Ethics and the Art World"
This is a yummy read. It went all kinds e of unexpected places and reminds us that the art world is no better than the people in it. I had some problems with the heroine. She suffers seriously from a case of the emperor;s clothes. There are some true things you just can't say. But the bits about Degas are delicious, wicked and very fun.
I took one star off because I could see where the end was going , but it did manage to give it a good unexpected twist. It's a very good read.

Take a scenic drive west and south to find the warm, dry Colorado weather creating warm, dry paths through the mountains.
Though there's little snow at the mountain bases in and around Carbondale and along McClure Pass, that doesn't mean there's nothing to be found up high.
It makes for a great combo trip that can mean biking, hiking, climbing, four-wheel driving and not just skinning, but mountaineering.
It also means a full car.
After stuffing everything and the dog into the Forester, we made our way toward Marble, where we found dirt roads and trails perfect for biking. Once we got far enough, we ditched the bikes and took in the slower pace of walking along the trails amid a slowly blooming forest. A creek tumbled by, its icy water giving us a small reprieve from the sun's glare - which we had to protect against with multiple coats of sunscreen.
The spot has a plethora of trails from beginner to expert, meaning cyclists of all abilities and styles - even road bikers - can enjoy the Elk Mountain scenery. And with drier terrain, it's a better spot to take to the trail. Biking on the wet mud as snow melts in Summit County can mean a nightmare for trail maintenance crews, or fellow users who find it rutted out when everything dries.
The morning bike and hike gave way to a four-wheel exploration of Marble's high country roads. Named for the same white stone that adorns the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and parts of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the town's residents are proud of it. They have massive chunks of marble scattered on their lawns, and various galleries invite passersby to take a glimpse at the marble statues created under local handiwork. Mailboxes are perched on slabs of it, and other blocks are lined up to signify property lines.
We bypassed all that, not out of lack of appreciation for art, but with a drive to make the most of our time in the warm, dry outdoors.
Most roads out of town are dry, but snow stopped us in our tracks on our way to Crystal, the historic mining town that has since turned into a summer cabin rental community rather than a ghost town. But we weren't looking for Crystal. We were looking for a way to ascend Whitehouse Mountain.
On foot, we discovered it was a longer haul than we'd hoped to get to the couloir we had in mind - and a steep cliff and a river stood between us and the roughly 1,500-foot climb up the mountain face.
Heading back to Marble, we turned onto the quarry road to scout different terrain. We spotted our spot not far from the quarry gates. The next day, we weren't the only ones making the trek to the high alpine snowfield.
Without a skin track to follow, we wove in and out of the trees on the mountain flank, turning to bootpacking when the snow caked underfoot and became treacherous to skin. Snowpack in the area appeared trustworthy as the sun and heat consolidated layers, but we still paid close attention to the possibility of wet slides as we moved to new terrain topography - a slide in a higher bowl had ripped to the ground, exposing a layer of mud underneath.
As a side note, after all that adventure and exertion, the White House on Carbondale's Main Street is a perfect spot for a bite to eat or to grab a liquid libation while watching The Masters play out.

I currently coach two teams at my local YMCA, a 1st and 2nd grade team and a 5th and 6th grade team. For my younger team I spend a majority of the practice on skills using drills from various resources. For that age group, I'm comfortable knowing that this is by far the most important thing to work on with my players. I try to keep the practice fun and vary activites as much as possible. We usually end each practice with a scrimmage where we reinforce rules of the game and skills developed during practice.
For my 5th/6th grade team I also like to spend time on skills but I'm having a problem balancing it with trying to teach them to play as a team, move without the ball, and look to pass when their shot is contested. The Y runs a fall and winter season and my fall team went 0-10-1 because the person running the league was new and didn't equally distribute the talent amongst the teams. We only practice one hour per week as per league rules and I need some suggestions to improve our team offense so I dont have to subject my son to another long losing season. I would like to teach them some motion offense concepts but here is my scenario. I have 3 decent "bigs" including my son. I also have 3 guards who are ok but tend to dribble up and force shots. We have to play everyone an equal amount of time and I have 2 players who make me nervous every time they touch the ball. I have 8 players on my team and we practice in a half gym with one hoop so any drills I run I have to include almost everyone in some fashion so they are not standing around. We have 9 games left and my goal is to win at least 3 or 4 and improve the skills of my players. I have used some 5v3 no dribbling drills in the past to emphasize movement and passing but I'm always looking for something new.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I feel for you coach! Been there with youth teams where I just didn't have the talent, and losing became a staple in our weekend diet of losing games. It's hard to explain things in writing ( kids are visual ), but here are some initial thoughts:
1) continue with building each kid's skills: ball handling, footwork, balance, layups, jump stops, pivots, defense, rebounding, and most importantly, PASSING! The way I approached it was the better skills my players have, the more chance I have to win as a collective.
2) Break down your motion offense. In other words, don't always practice the offense using all five players. Instead, use three players at a time. Take a single movement of the motion ( ie; top passes to the wing and cuts to the basket asking for the ball ) and make sure every detail is correct. ( how hard do they pass and what kind of pass should they give, timing, spacing, how they should cut, etc. ) After running 2 on 0 or 3 on 0, add defenders. It's easier for you to control and watch everyone's movements, rather that have 5 guys doing it only partially good.
3) Throw in a couple plays where there is only one action, thus being very easy to remember. You call them " quick hitters ". The best thing about these kinds of plays is it forces those players that keep the ball too long in their hands, to actually run a play.
4) Do drills that ( for example ) force your players to learn how to pass and move without the ball. First teach them how to v-cut to get the ball, or go away and come back to the ball ( make sure they are coming to the ball until the ball is in their hands and not to wait for the pass ) A good drill to teach passing and movement is a 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 full court game with no dribbling. The team with the ball has to advance the ball without dribbling, but may dribble the ball if they get it inside their 3-point line. Make sure that the defense understands that the offensive players cannot dribble outside their 3-point line, so they must put optimal pressure on the player with the ball. This forces the offensive player to be strong with their ball, make good passes, and use their pivot foot.

Thanks for the repsonse. It reinforces what I do in practice each week. I'm glad to hear that what I'm doing is thought of as correct by another coach. I just need to contiue what I'm doing and implement what you suggested and hope we can pull off a couple wins against the other weaker teams. Our next two games are against the undefeated team and a team whose only loss is to the undefeated team. Next year I'm going to have my oldest son play in a town league where there is 3 evaluations before the players are assigned to teams and possibly coach there instead of at the YMCA.
It really is a shame that an organization like the Y couldn't try harder to balance the talent especially at the 5th and 6th grade level. It is their final opportunity to play in a developmental league before moving on to 7th/8th grade basketball which is school-based and has tryouts. Before the end of the season I plan to sit down with the director and offer some suggestions to improve the balance for next season because in my opinion a YMCA youth league should not have any teams that go undefeated nor have any teams that go winless.
I agree. Too often kids get the wrong idea. The ultimate goal ( as they say ) should be to teach kids how to try their best, how to work as a team, having the right attitude, etc......and winning or losing as by-products of that, but that in the end, that's not what's important. What is important is that they continue to apply those same principals mentioned above.
It's sort of like the classroom. Too much emphasis placed on the end result rather than core principles that make us good human beings.
Anyway, good luck in your games! If you'd like, I created a basketball website for kids and if you want to pass it along, feel free. I post new material every Thursday of the week:
Thanks again.

BELL & ROSS PRESENTS CARMEN JORDA AS ITS FEMININE LINE AMBASSADORSince our partnership debut with the Renault Sport Formula One Team, there have been intriguing developments at every turn, and Monaco is no different.
Bell & Ross is making a pitstop in Monaco, to capitalize on the glamour to show off the new feminine line and the person who will represent it.
Carmen Jorda captivated Bell & Ross with her strong and charismatic personality since they were introduced at the beginning of this year at the press conference announcing Renault's full manufacturer Formula 1 entry.
It was at the Amber Lounge U*NITE party on Friday the 27th of May, in the iconic F1 host city of Monaco, where Bell & Ross proudly introduced Carmen Jorda as its feminine ambassador.
Carmen serves as the development driver for Renault Sport Racing. She is not only a pioneer in being one of the few women to break into the motorsport world, but is also bringing feminine representation to Bell & Ross, a brand that is usually reputed as masculine.

Bell & Ross launches first boutique in South AfricaBell & Ross celebrated the launch of its first boutique in Africa, at Nelson Mandela Square on the 10th May 2016. The watch brand whose collections pay tribute to aviation history has landed at Nelson Mandela Square in the heart of Sandton, Johannesburg.
The Bell&Ross boutique team hosted their VIP clients and press at the new boutique in order to explore the Bell & Ross universe and the aviation world. Mr Yushaa Desai, brand manager for Bell & Ross South Africa commented: "The brand was introduced in South Africa in 2009 and has quickly become a favourite amongst South African watch connoisseurs and trendsetters. The brand has been performing exceptionally well making it necessary to open the stand-alone boutique. The boutique has already proven to be a success in so many ways and we are really excited by the potential of the boutique."
Guests were then invited to move to the Nelson Mandela Square to witness the spectacular unveiling of the Bell & Ross Slick 360 aerobatic airplane. The latest Bell & Ross novelties which included the Aero GT, the BR-X1 Hyperstellar, the Desert Type and the BRS Diamond Eagle, were presented at the same time and proved to be an immediate success.
The evening ended with a three course meal at The Big Mouth and Grill. The Bell & Ross Slick 360 airplane will be flying in competitions for the next year. This was the first time that an airplane was exhibited at Nelson Mandela Square and created quite a stir with locals and tourists.

Ross Stores Chief Merchandising Officer Barbara Rentler will take the top job at the discount retailer next month, becoming the 25th female chief executive officer to currently serve at a Fortune 500 company.
Rentler is succeeding Michael Balmuth, who was already slated to step down on June 1, Dublin-based Ross said Wednesday in a statement. Rentler and Chief Operating Officer Michael O'Sullivan also will join the company's board. Balmuth, 63, announced plans in August 2012 to hand over the CEO job and become executive chairman.
"These people are very highly qualified -- it shows a logical succession," said Mark Montagna, an analyst at Avondale Partners LLC in Nashville, Tennessee, who has the equivalent of a buy rating on the shares. "It shows they've been grooming them for Michael Balmuth's eventual succession, so it should be seamless."
Rentler's promotion means that 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs will be women, assuming there are no other changes before she starts on June 1, according to Catalyst, a New York- based women's research and advocacy group. That represents a record level of representation for companies on the list.
"It's a milestone, but the day we'll really celebrate is when we see the day that it's not remarkable that she's taking on this role because of her gender," Deborah Gillis, CEO at Catalyst, said in a phone interview. "She was in a really critical role for her organization, she contributed to the success of her company, so she was in line for succession -- that wasn't an accident."
Reviving Growth
The new CEO faces the challenge of reviving growth at Ross, which operates about 1,300 bargain-priced clothing and home- goods stores. In the quarter that ended Feb. 1, the chain posted its first quarterly sales decline in at least a decade. Over the holiday season, apparel retailers piled on deep discounts to attract wary shoppers.
Ross shares rose 0.2 percent to $67.78 at the close of trading in New York. The stock has fallen 9.5 percent so far this year, compared with a 1.6 percent gain for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Rentler, 56, joined Ross in 1986 and held various merchandising positions as she rose the ranks. Like Balmuth, Rentler has a firm understanding of the merchandising process that's key to the success of Ross's off-price business model, said Pamela Quintiliano, a New York-based analyst at SunTrust Banks Inc. Ross, because of its location in California and domestic growth possibilities, could easily have found a new CEO from outside the organization if it had wanted, she said.
'Her Success'
"They didn't need to go with an internal candidate," said Quintiliano, who recommends buying the shares. "It's based on her success."
Rentler's promotion highlights that more progress needs to be made in getting women to the role of CEO, Ashleigh Rosette, an associate professor at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, wrote in an e-mail.
"Women are not remotely represented in the top leader ranks to the extent that their labor-force participation rates suggest they should be," she said.

text: I am devastated. Truly. I'm still reeling from the effects of a book I just read and I don't think the images will leave me too quickly. They say SF is dead and that readership is dropping. I suppose if all SF made me feel so scared, so full of dread, then I might not be so anxious to read it regularly, but Cormac McCarthy's newest book, The Road, is inspired in my opinion, despite how awful I feel after finishing it. A great book can revive a genre, right? And yet nowhere do I see them advertising this book as SF. I guess that the media wizards felt it best to leave that designation behind and market it as fiction. Published by Alfred A. Knopf, it's referred to simply as a 'novel'. But what a novel. I'm still hiding under my desk.

Another summer filled with crime is winding down in Columbia.
In the last three months, one family lost a teenaged son to gun violence and there have been 10 other shootings within city limits. Nearly all of those shootings happened in busy, public places.
The public continues to ask, "Where are the police?" and city leaders agree they do not have enough officers on the streets.
But how many does Columbia need and how will the city pay for them? In a special report, ABC 17's Evan Millward explains how catching up could take decades.
"Right now, we simply don't have the time," said Columbia Police Department Chief Ken Burton. "They're going from call to call to call, on several [calls] during several hours of the day. So we find ourselves in the position now where we are looking for things that we can simply just stop doing because we don't have the resources to do all of the things the community wants us to do."
The community continues to wonder where were the police the night a viral video captured gunshots at a busy downtown intersection.
The answer from Burton at a citywide news conference shortly after the shooting: The downtown police unit had worked several weekends in a row and had that specific weekend off.
"It's difficult with limited resources because these officers need their time off, they need their downtime with their families and it's difficult to give it to them with all the demands on us," said Burton.
That helped expose how understaffed the police department claims it is.
By its own measure, the department is down six officers right now with a total police force of 154 officers.
That is fewer than one and a half officers for every 1,000 residents.
ABC 17 News checked departments in cities similar to Columbia to find how their police departments measure up.
Norman, Okla., has 2,000 more residents, but 50 more officers. Its violent crime rate is also one-third the rate of Columbia.
Springfield, Ill., has 4,000 more residents and 90 more officers, but its crime rate is almost triple.
Of the six cities compared to Columbia, all of them had more officers, even South Bend, Ind., which has 13,000 fewer residents.
All of the other police departments' budgets were bigger, as well.
"I can assure you, I have squeezed every turnip there is in the budget. We have squeezed everything out of it," said Columbia City Manager Mike Matthes. "So we have two choices in front of us. We can grow incrementally or it's going to have to require a new revenue source if we want to do much of anything serious about growth."
Matthes also noted the department's budget has increased. However, if it's not for additional officers, where has the money gone?
Both Burton and Matthes blame the city's pension system.
"Unfortunately, we also made a bad decision in hindsight 20 years ago, 15 years ago, about the pension and so we made that slightly better and it had this huge impact 10 years later," said Matthes.
Pension problems were dealt with by the Columbia City Council last summer. It means there will eventually be more money in the budget.
"What I suggest we look at is making a commitment to add four to five officers every year for the next four years," said Burton. "That's the least painful way. The money's still got to come from somewhere."
"I really don't think we'll see three or four," said Matthes. "I think we'll see one or two. It's all about money. If we could afford more officers, we would."
"I think what we need to do now is decide what type of police department we want," added Burton. "If you want a police department that just answers 911 calls and just does the duties related to 911 calls, that's where we are right now. If you want a police department that does all the things, like community policing and building relationships in the community, we've got to add some cops."
How exactly will that happen? Mayor Bob McDavid proposed a property tax hike that never even made it out of council chambers.

Over the next three years, the Naval Institute Press will publish Samuel Eliot Morison's monumental History of United States Naval Operations in World War II in updated paperback editions with new introductions by noted military historians. Morison, an eminent Harvard professor, was appointed by his close friend, Franklin D. Roosevelt, to write the history of U.S. naval operations after convincing the president that too many wartime histories were written after the fact or from a distance. Morison called his classic work a "shooting history" of World War II, because it was documented by historical observation during each specific naval operation in the Atlantic and Pacific. Critically hailed for its accuracy, narrative pace, and detail, the series presents a complete record of the U.S. Navy's war at sea.
The second volume covers the naval aspects of Operation Torch, the North African campaign that carried out the plan favored by President Roosevelt for opening a second front to relieve the Russians.
This volume has a new introduction by Vincent P. O'Hara, author of Struggle for the Middle Sea
Samuel Eliot Morison taught history at Harvard from 1915 to 1955, except for active duty service in the Navy aboard eleven different ships in all theaters of the war. In addition to this fifteen-volume series, Rear Admiral Morison wrote many other popular and award-winning books on maritime history, including Two Ocean War. He was the recipient of two Pulitzer Prizes, two Bancroft Prizes, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom He died in 1976.

A New York City murder suspect who was spotted in Maine earlier this week was captured in Ohio on Friday, according to Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine State Police.
McCausland said Raymond Mayrant was taken into custody in Ohio sometime Friday. A car stolen from an Augusta residence on Wednesday was found in Warren, Ohio, not far from the Pennsylvania border, McCausland said.
McCausland had no other details about Mayrant's capture.
Mayrant is wanted in New York City in connection with the city's first homicide of the year.
Police in New York said the 25-year-old Mayrant shot his girlfriend and her mother during an argument on Jan. 3. The mother, 59-year-old Elzina Brown, died at the scene.

35mm presentation - A traveling entertainer falls prey to a disturbed recluse in director Fabrice Du Welz's twisted, slow-burn riff on Deliverance and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Having finished his latest performance at a remote retirement home, wandering singer Marc Stevens packs his gear into his van and sets out towards his next gig. Unfortunately for Marc, the fog-shrouded roads of rural France are more treacherous than he ever anticipated. When his van breaks down in the middle of the night and a skittish local promises to lead him to a nearby inn owned by the eccentric recluse Paul Bartel, it appears that luck may be on Marc's side and he will be back on the road with the light of the morning sun. This isn't your average bed and breakfast, though, and Bartel certainly isn't the kindly innkeeper he initially appears to be.
DIRECTOR: Fabrice Du Welz

Jan. 5, 2011 -- The superbug staph infection, MRSA, has become a global health threat for adults and children, but antibiotics aren't needed to treat all cases, according to new guidelines released by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA).
MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus, is a bacterium that is hard to kill with the most commonly used antibiotics. The superbug is responsible for about 60% of all skin infections seen in hospital emergency rooms. If the bacteria invade broken skin, life-threatening lung, blood, bone, joint, or nervous system infections can result.
The antibiotic vancomycin is often first prescribed for severe MRSA infections. However, there has been debate about whether or not antibiotics are necessary or helpful for minor MRSA skin infections, such as a simple boil. Overuse of antibiotics in general has fueled the growing threat of antibiotic resistance.
The IDSA's new guidelines provide the first authoritative MRSA treatment recommendations for doctors. A 13-panel board comprised of members of the Infectious Diseases Society, the American College of Emergency Physicians, and the American Academy of Pediatrics reviewed and endorsed the guidelines.
The guidelines address the treatment of:
- MRSA skin and soft tissue infections in non-hospitalized patients
- MRSA skin infections that keep coming back or do not get better with antibiotic treatment
- MRSA infections that have spread to the lungs, bones, joints, blood, or heart
- Newborns infected with the superbug
The 38-page document also provides specific recommendations regarding the use of vancomycin and alternative antibiotics, and calls for the development of new and better medicines for treating MRSA. It does not address MRSA surveillance or prevention. The CDC says proper hand-washing and good hygiene are the best defense against MRSA infections.
Key Recommendations
According to the new guidelines, a simple skin abscess or boil from MRSA can usually be successfully treated by draining the site. No antibiotics may be needed in some cases.
In general, antibiotics should be considered for skin and soft-tissue infections if the patient has:
- severe or extensive disease, such as several MRSA skin infections at one time
- an abscess in an area that is hard to drain, such as on the face or genitalia
- an abscess that does not get better with incision and drainage
- signs of a life-threatening skin condition called cellulitis
- a weakened immune system because of another disease or drug treatment
- another medical condition that affects the entire body (systemic illness)
Antibiotic ointments are recommended for children with minor skin infections such as impetigo or skin infections associated with other skin conditions such as eczema.
Guidelines Not Mandatory
The guidelines are not considered mandatory and are not meant to be a substitute for your doctor's judgment. Instead, they provide insight for doctors to make the most appropriate treatment decisions based on each individual person.
"MRSA has become a huge public health problem and physicians often struggle with how to treat it," said Catherine Liu, MD, author of the guidelines and assistant clinical professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases, University of California, San Francisco. "The guidelines establish a framework to help physicians determine how to evaluate and treat uncomplicated as well as invasive infections. It's designed to be a living document, meaning the recommendations will evolve as new information and antibiotics become available."
The guidelines will be published in the Feb. 1 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases.

VAIL, Colorado - George Gillett, former owner of Vail and a guy who knows a thing or two about business (he has gone on to own other ski resorts, professional sports teams and a long list of other successful companies), points out that following the 1989 World Alpine Ski Championships in Vail, the resort's international visitors skyrocketed.
Gillett had a large hand in bringing the event to town, in spite of the fact that other ski areas in North America had no interest whatsoever in hosting it. But this large-scale globally inclusive event did great things for making Vail glow on the world map. More than just seeing the world's fastest skiers bomb down the meticulously designed courses, close to 1 billion TV viewers tuning into the championships also saw the mountain being absolutely blasted with snow.
"The night before the downhill race, we had a tremendous snowstorm - 34 inches," Gillett recalls. "We had 1,500 volunteers and troops working, shoveling snow. We couldn't get rid of the snow and conduct the downhill fast enough. Guess what? Vail's copious champagne powder was known all over the world."
According to Gillett, before the '89 world champs, international visitors constituted just 2 percent of Vail's skier base. The very next year, the numbers leapt to 13 percent.
"That's a growth that can only be attributed to one thing," Gillett says. "Television and the world championships. It was in hundreds of millions of homes. That has a tremendous impression on people. At these events, broadcasters take the cameras and canvas around, not just on the racecourse but in the village and other parts of the mountain. All of a sudden the magic and spirit of Vail gets captured. We had exposure to millions of people who hadn't seen it before."
In our blood
There is no question. Vail would not be what it is today without ski racing. The sport has given the resort a leg up not just in prestige among ski racing insiders but among skiers in general, and not just following the 1989 world championships, but from the get-go. The sport has essentially been with Vail since its birth in 1962 - given that one of the resort's founding fathers was a ski racer.
"Pete Seibert won the Roch Cup in 1950. We were founded by a ski racer," Gillett points out. "The sport has had a tremendous influence on the ski industry, particularly in Vail, from the very beginning. Look at all the greats coming to this mountain, from Seibert to Ski Club Vail to Lindsey Vonn and now Mikaela Shiffrin. What a wonderful exclamation point to the area's history of ski racing."
And it's not just other ski racers who have had their eye on the pros that Vail has wrought. Anyone remotely interested in skiing will naturally cast a glance to those in the know. Vail has a rich history of shining examples.
"The ski racing community is a relatively small community yet it has an enormous influence on millions around the world," Gillett says. "Skiers and their technique, ski shape, grooming practices on the mountain ... to a large extent all of these come as a by-product of ski racing."
At this point - with another world championships in 1999, a third one coming in 2015 and Beaver Creek a highly touted regular stop on the annual World Cup ski calendar since 1997 - ski racing is officially in the area's blood.
Passion makes it work
"Vail and the valley has this DNA in the community that we are ski racing," says Ceil Folz, President of the Vail Valley Foundation, which organizes and delivers the World Cup and the world champs. "Going back to the '60s, Bob Beattie and the birth of World Cup skiing, the town series was huge and people talked about ski racing. But leading up to the '89 world champs, nobody understood how big it was, how important it was. That was really the dawn of a new era. With the Birds of Prey [World Cup races], there has been an escalation every year of something bigger and bolder. With the '99 World champs, we went into that more prepared and with even more excitement. From the minute we bid for 2015 and won, it's been more excitement still."
Another event that landed at Vail even before the world championships was the American Ski Classic, a social event bringing international retired ski pros together - both recently retired and long-retired - to partake in a fun, head-to-head competition. Over the years, this event - though not televised - has also accounted for a snowball affect in global visitors.
"You can't believe how many people involved in that bring back 10 or 20 of their friends every year who then become attached to Vail and bring 10 or 20 of their friends," Gillett says. "We've been blessed with a multi-cultural community from the beginning."
Folz points out that even before the first ski racing event ever landed in Vail, it was passion that carried it into the resort's identity, passion from the likes of Seibert, Beattie, Gillett and the current Vail Resorts governing squad - and of course, the Valley Valley Foundation.
"It's passion that makes it work," Folz says. "At the end of the day, nothing is easy. Everything costs a lot of money, especially World Cup ski racing. Rob Katz, John Garnsey ... if those guys didn't love ski racing, it wouldn't be going the way it is for us. This is a community that's passionate about it. Everything we do is passionate. We are a place that brings the best of everything."

After significant review and analysis, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that grain sorghum ethanol qualifies as a renewable fuel under the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) Program. Governor Sam Brownback said approving the sorghum pathway will help enable the United States to meet RFS requirements with domestically-produced ethanol and generate economic growth in Kansas.
The final rule for the sorghum pathway was signed by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson Nov. 30, 2012, and will take effect upon publication in the Federal Register. According to the final rule, EPA's analysis indicated that grain sorghum ethanol produced at dry-mill facilities that utilize natural gas for process energy meets the 20 percent greenhouse gas emission reduction threshold to qualify as a renewable fuel under RFS guidelines. Further, the final rule specifies that grain sorghum ethanol produced at dry-mill facilities that utilize specified forms of biogas for process energy and most electricity production meets the 50 percent greenhouse gas reduction threshold to qualify as an advanced biofuel under RFS guidelines.

First off, we are going to start keeping a Development Blog / Development News section on this website. It will basically chronicle minor and major development news that may be happening based on decisions that are made by the GhostBSD Team and on behalf of our users, so feel free to check back here often for updated news.
This first big news is that we are dropping support for all other desktops besides Mate. We are doing this because we want to put our focus and energy in to development of better tools like Network Manager, Update Manager, Package Manager, and to touch up the Installer. This was not an easy decision, but comes after input of Users and Team Members. With a team as small as ours, keeping up development for all the other desktops is a daunting task and we may rethink this decision in the future, but for the time being, we are sticking with Mate. We've also had some discussion focused on developing better integration to the FreeBSD ecosystem.
The latest accomplishment is the new installer and partition editor, which has been inspired and drawn from the FreeBSD installer and partition editor. The new partition editor will now "virtually" edit partitions, which means before the final commit, it's possible to revert the changes. The partition editor will also support auto-partitioning of the entire disk or the free space of a disk.
Our developers have also decided to start committing code on PC-BSD pc-sysinstall to facilitate the development of the GhostBSD installer and to be up to date with the latest version of pc-sysinstall without having problems with adding our code every time we update to the latest version.
We have also moved our development version control system from SVN to Git. All the development is now going to be done on GitHub. Git and GitHub facilitate the development flow and control of the code. Anyone can fork it to develop a new idea and commit it without compromising the current development. You can check out (or checkout) the repositories at https://github.com/GhostBSD.
That should be about it for now. We will be posting more news as it comes in, so stay tuned!

STOCKTON - An 18-year-old man was beaten and robbed while walking near Grattan Avenue and Flora Street about 9:45 p.m. Thursday, police said.
The man told officers his assailants approached him from behind on a bicycle. One of the robbers stayed on the bicycle while the other hit the victim a number of times with a silver aluminum bat and ordered him to hand over his belongings, authorities said.
The robbers then fled north on Flora Street. They were described as Latino men 18 to 20 years old. One was about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 150 pounds with black shorts and a white shirt over his head. The other was wearing a black sweater and black jeans.

Collared, Banded and Tagged: Are We Overtracking Wildlife?
Ever since they were reintroduced to Wisconsin in 1995, I've wanted to see an elk in my home state. Last month, my dream was realized when I spotted three of them during a trip to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin's Northwoods. One evening, while driving slowly up and down the forest roads at dusk, my husband and I saw three elk crossing the pavement ahead of us.

SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a 62-year-old employee was cooked to death at a Southern California seafood plant for tuna maker Bumble Bee Foods.
The Whittier Daily News reports (http://bit.ly/TmJFyv ) Jose Melena was found shortly before 7 a.m. Thursday at the plant in Santa Fe Springs.
Erika Monterroza is a spokeswoman for the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. She says it's unclear how the man ended up inside a cooking device called a "steamer machine."
The state agency has launched an investigation.
Bumble Bee Foods spokesman Pat Menke expressed condolences to Melena's family in a written statement. Menke says operations at the canning facility will be suspended until Monday.

Seoul Mayor: Almost Impossible for an Independent to be President
Park Won-soon catapulted from the peripheries of politics into one of South Korea's highest profile jobs in October last year when he became Seoul mayor.
In doing so, the former labor activist showed that it was possible for an independent to land a job sometimes known as "little president" because of its status and importance.
Mr. Park's success was in large part thanks to the backing of popular software millionaire Ahn Cheol-soo, who launched his own bid to become president this year before recently ceding to Democratic United Party candidate Moon Jae-in.
By dropping out of the race in order to allow Mr. Moon a better chance of winning the election, Mr. Ahn acknowledged that he had failed to overturn the status quo of party politics.
Mr. Park hasn't spoken to Mr. Ahn since the latter quit his bid for president, but he says it is almost impossible to become president in South Korea without support from a political party or an affiliation with it. Since his election, Mr. Park has joined the DUP, which also supported his mayoral campaign.
"Reality is reality. I am kind of an idealist but I became a DUP member because I believe politics should have a footing in harsh reality," Mr. Park told the Journal in a recent interview. "Backing from a party does matter in the decision-making process."
The 57-year-old said that even though he's now part of the political establishment, he tries to keep the mind-set of a civil activist. But realpolitik requires him to work with others inside the system, he said.
"As politics is not subtraction but addition, those who share views and ideas need to join forces and they have to cooperate with political opponents even after they win an election," Mr. Park said.
After sweeping into office with a pledge to increase welfare spending, Mr. Park says his biggest challenge is securing funds for the city's ambitious spending programs.
The Seoul government plans to spend about 30% of its 23 trillion won ($21 billion) budget next year in five areas: raising basic wages, improving childcare and nursing care services, education, housing, and health care services.
"As people became tired of a rapid growth that began in the 1970s and has slowed since the 2000s, it's time to promote their welfare or well-being for another leap forward," Mr. Park said.
As it takes at least five-to-seven years to get mid- and long-term projects done, Mr. Park said he plans to run for re-election in 2014.
He was coy when asked if he would consider a bid in the next presidential election in five years.
"Nobody knows what will happen in the future," he said.

At the age of 81, Tom Wolfe shows he still has what it takes in "Back to Blood." Like "Bonfires of the Vanities" and "A Man in Full," Wolfe focuses his lens on a city — Miami this time — to present a colorful mosaic of life and culture in an American town uneasily dominated by Cubans and Blacks and where White Anglo Saxon Protestants are a minority. And like his previous novels, Wolfe populates his book with a full cast of characters who represent all walks of life — including Nestor Comacho, a cop of Cuban descent, who walks a difficult line between the citizens he serves and his Anglo superiors.
Over the years, Barbara Kingsolver has created well-written, thought-provoking novels that do more than tell a good story. In "Flight Behavior," she uses the mass migration of monarch butterflies to the hills of Tennessee as the backdrop for one woman's self-discovery. Dellarobia Turnbow lost her chance for a better life when she became pregnant at 17. Ten years and two children later, she is unhappily married and working hard on a failing farm. Grabbing at a few hours of happiness in an illicit tryst, she comes upon a field beautifully alive with butterflies — a phenomenon that will bring the world, and a whole lot of controversy, to little Feathertown.
Even for a country used to earthquakes and tsunamis, Japan was unprepared for the magnitude of the event that struck March 11, 2011. A 9.0 earthquake was quickly followed by an equally devastating tsunami which culminated in the meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. How did these people, whose resilience has seen them through years of disasters, survive this monumental event? Reporters Lucy Birmingham and David McNeill focus on six eyewitnesses, as well as their own experiences during the disaster, in "Strong in the Rain" (952.000).
Kurt Wallender is nowhere in sight in Henning Mankell's "The Shadow Girls." Rather, our hero is Jesper Humlin, a poet of moderate success whose slender volumes don't seem to be selling as well as they once did. His editor has promised the publishing world that Jesper's next work will be a crime novel — even though the poet has no idea where or how to begin writing one. What intrigues him, though, are the stories of three young women — all refugees — who tell him the sordid details of their difficult lives.
Like many neurosurgeons, Dr. Eban Alexander scoffed at reports of Near Death Experiences. As a scientist, he believed such events were due to malfunctioning brain chemistry — nothing more. But when he somehow contracted a rare form of meningitis and slipped into a deep coma, he had a Near Death Experience, and when he awoke, he realized it had given him a new perspective on life and reality. He tells of his experience in "Proof of Heaven: a Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife" (133.900).
Page 2 of 2 - Superheroes are popular once again these days, thanks to the recent spate of movies featuring the characters from Marvel Comics. But there's a new superhero in town — one who received his powers from the long-ago atomic bomb tests in the desert. He is Radioactive Man, and as imagined by Matt Groening he looks a lot like Homer Simpson, except he is built like Superman and has a lightning bolt in his head. You can catch up on all his adventures in "Radioactive Man: Radioactive Repository Volume One" (741.500).

Built from SVN r787.
Released as beta because many code changes haven't been widely tested yet.
People have been testing the SubJunk Build, but I have so many things in there right now that aren't in the official trunk so the testing doesn't apply to the trunk as much as it usually does.
This will hopefully give us a more trustworthy idea.
- Updated OS X MPlayer to enable external VOBsub, ASS/SSA and Fribidi support
- allow update checks to be performed manually (Windows only)
- allow automatic update checks to be enabled (Windows only)
- simplify PMS customization for packagers of custom builds
- logging fix for headless configurations
- Added experimental support for iPad / iPhone
- Fixed DVD ISO playback on OS X (thanks, jjmojojjmojo!)
- Added support for the AirPlayer app
- Added support for Samsung TV model SEC_HHP_TV (thanks, coax-!)
- Added Aperture support on OS X (thanks, coax-!)
- Added thumbnail support for images (some code from here
Upgrade Notes:
For 1.23.0 and above:
- Just uninstall the older version and install newer one
- To retain your old settings you may have to copy your old config file/s to a new directory.
To find out where the new directory is on your computer, run the program and go to the Traces tab and look on the 14th line, the line that says "Profile directory:", that is the folder your config files should be saved now.
- If you use the "media library / cache" option you should reset it.

I mentioned this in the RSS Enclosures thread, but I think it got buried. Viewing local files is working properly. I am only having this issue with the web stuff. Any help is appreciated.

Oak Ridge Intermediate sixth grade students held their annual Uppelville event on Friday, May 10. Uppelville stands for upper elementary and is used as the name of their make believe town.
The town of Uppelville is set up in the gymnasium to accommodate the various "stores" the students created.
Uppelville is a unit of study about economic concepts by participating in a business simulation exercise.
The students choose their business, incorporate, borrow real money, and create the food, product, service, or entertainment they will be selling on the actual day of Uppelville.
On the morning of May 10, students were both consumers, purchasing from other businesses with their own money, and producers, working in their various business sites.
At the end of the morning, business groups repaid their loans that were used to purchase items for their stores, with interest, and determine their profit or loss.
The collective profits of over $1,200 will be donated to local charities or organizations of the students choice.
