About the Book
"Long Gone is a tremendous novel, and Alafair Burke is one of the finest young crime writers working today."
--Dennis Lehane, author of Moonlight Mile
Echoing the intensity of Harlan Coben's Tell No One and the psychological depth of Laura Lippman's What the Dead Know, Alafair Burke's first stand-alone novel catapults her into the top ranks of modern suspense. In New York City's cut-throat world of art, appearances can be deceiving—especially when art world newcomer Alice Humphrey becomes a suspect in a gruesome murder at a Chelsea gallery, and is thrown into a treacherous labyrinth of intrigue, crime, and conspiracy. Now, Alice must discover the truth behind the murder before the unsolved mystery claims her as its next victim.
After months of struggling, Alice Humphrey finally lands her dream job managing a trendy new Manhattan art gallery. According to Drew Campbell, the well-heeled corporate representative who hires her, the gallery is a passion project for its anonymous, wealthy owner. Everything is perfect until the morning Alice arrives at work to find the gallery gone—the space stripped bare as if it had never existed—and Campbell's body on the floor. Suddenly she's at the center of a police investigation with the evidence stacked against her, and the dead man whom she swears is Drew Campbell identified as someone else entirely.
When the police discover ties between the gallery and a missing girl, Alice knows she's been set up. Now she has to prove it—a dangerous search for answers that will entangle her in a dark, high-tech criminal conspiracy and force her to unearth long-hidden secrets involving her own family . . . secrets that could cost Alice her life.

Critical Praise
"Blistering…. As carefully plotted as a surgeon's heart transplant…. [Burke] writes with style, class and precision; just try to guess the identity of the killer here. A-" — Les Roberts, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Alafair Burke's first standalone is an absolutely riveting must read—and the ending is a shocker you'll never see coming." — Lisa Scottoline, New York Times-bestselling author of Save Me
"Long Gone is a tremendous novel, and Alafair Burke is one of the finest young crime writers working today." — Dennis Lehane, New York Times-bestselling author of Moonlight Mile
"Long Gone is a red-hot firecracker of a thriller with all the right stuff-perfect pacing, plotting, and suspense. If you already love Alafair Burke's novels, buckle up for her best book ever. If you haven't read her yet, the time is now." — Lisa Unger, New York Times-bestselling author of Darkness My Old Friend
"Alafair Burke understands the criminal mind. Long Gone is both an education and an entertainment of the first order. This is a very clever and very smart novel by a very clever and smart writer. The dialogue crackles, the plot is intriguing, and the pacing is perfect." — Nelson DeMille, New York Times-bestselling author of The Lion
"Addictive…. Alafair Burke delivers her best book to date with her first stand-alone thriller…. A masterful read. Humphrey is an everywoman, and readers will care about what happens to her…. Compelling." — Jeff Ayers, Associated Press
"Long Gone is the type of book that should come with a warning. It's a compulsively readable, highly addictive story. The ending will leave you breathless." — Karin Slaughter, New York Times-bestselling author of Fallen
"Burke's first stand-alone novel is a chilling psychological thriller which weaves disparate characters together in a web of revenge, deceit and betrayal. This clever, twisting plot serves up numerous victims and numerous criminals—plus police who can't be bothered with the truth." — Romantic Times (4 ½ Stars)
"Sensational…. Exciting…. Alice is a compelling heroine and the nightmare she finds herself dropped into is scary believable." — Carole E. Barrowman, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Fawn rehabilitator is momma to baby deer herd
Published: Sunday, July 13, 2014 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 11, 2014 at 7:08 p.m.
MILL SPRING — Summer may be vacation time for most folks, but not for Polk County wildlife rehabilitator Billie Garrett. Garrett is a veterinarian nurse who spends every waking hour outside of work caring for baby deer that have been injured or orphaned.
Fawn facts:
--North Carolina state law prohibits anyone from possessing wildlife in captivity except for licensed rehabilitators.
--Roughly 90 percent of fawns that require rescue are picked up by people who erroneously think the fawn has been abandoned. They have been hidden there by their mothers, who return several times a day to nurse and clean them.
--Unless a fawn is in imminent danger of being mowed over or attacked by dogs, touching, moving or feeding a fawn will do more harm than good, wildlife officials say. If you are concerned, leave the area and check the fawn the next day.
--Fawns are well-equipped to protect themselves. They lack scent and are camouflaged by their spotted coats. They can outrun a human by 5 days old. By 3 to 6 weeks old, a fawn can escape most predators.
--If a fawn is in the exact location the following day, bleating loudly or lying near a dead doe (often roadside), wildlife officials warn not to take it into your possession. Instead, call the NCWRC at 919-707-0050 to contact a permitted rehabilitator.

Garrett started Silver Creek Fawn Rescue in 2011, the year she married her husband, Jarvis, and is one of only 19 primary licensed fawn rehabilitators across the state. The next nearest one is two hours away.
With 17 bleating mouths to feed, the Garretts don't get a lot of free time together, much less vacation time during the fawning season between May and December. Three weeks ago, Jarvis flew to New York for a wedding while Billie stayed home with her babies.
"I see my wife for about 30 minutes a day," Jarvis said, standing outside the barn he constructed for his wife to feed 2- to 4-week-old fawns before they're introduced into a larger fenced-in enclosure with grass and shrubs.
"I tell him it's only for a few months," Billie said, as she bottle-fed four fawns simultaneously Thursday after a full day working at Bonnie Brae Veterinary Hospital in Columbus.
Roughly 75 percent of the fawns currently under Billie's care didn't need to be there, the Garretts say. Most were picked up by well-intentioned, but naïve people who assumed the fawns were abandoned because no mother was in sight.
"I had someone call me the other day," Billie said. "They said, 'Oh my gosh, there's an albino one in my backyard — I'm going to bring it to you.' I said, 'No, you're going to steal it from its mom.' That's the main thing for me: when you take it, the momma's going to be looking for that baby. She's going to be crying, she's going to be stressed out looking for it."
Wildlife officials say removing fawns who are hidden by their mothers in grass and brush not only hurts their chances of survival, but depletes resources necessary to care for fawns that actually need help: those attacked by dogs, hit by cars or injured by barbed wire.
"It's better to just leave them alone," said Wildlife Officer Toby Jenkins of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. "Come back in 24 hours and check, but any sooner is going to prevent the momma deer from coming around."
Billie Garrett's day begins at 4 a.m., milking five goats that provide sustenance for the fawns under her care. The couple used to buy a special formula from Illinois designed to mimic deer milk, but at $110 a bucket and $70 shipping, goat milk became a fiscal necessity.
After feeding the six youngest fawns first, she moves to the 70-by-40-foot enclosure to bottle-feed 11 others. Jarvis built his wife a feeder that can hold four bottles so she can feed all of the fawns and get to work by 7:30 a.m. At lunchtime, she returns for another feeding.
"It used to take me 30 minutes, but it's probably going to take me an hour and a half once we move these into (the enclosure) with the other ones," Billie said.
She does three loads of towel laundry a day for bedding, washes bottles and nipples, then passes out around 10 p.m. after finishing the evening feeding.
Although the Garretts haven't tallied up the full costs of their rescue operation, state officials estimate it costs about $600 to rehabilitate one fawn. Billie started with two deer her first year, released nine fawns into the wild in 2013 and took in 21 deer babies this year — without any funding help from the state.
Jenkins, who has covered Polk County for 18 years as a game warden, has watched Billie take in fawns from Buncombe, Madison, Henderson and Polk counties, as well as upstate South Carolina.
"I've contacted all of our biologists in the state and tried to get her some support, and we just don't have any funding for it," Jenkins said. "We have a lot of deer in the state, and I guess they feel they can't put money into something that's not endangered."
The Garretts rely on the generosity of family, friends and donors to help them care for the fawns. Billie's stepdad, Jerry Nelon, donated all the building materials for the enclosure. Her sister loaned her a goat to get started with milk production, and Jarvis' father allows the fawns to be released on his 100-acre property nearby.
"It's rewarding being able to release them," Billie Garrett said. "On the backside of the property, I still have four or five fawns I haven't seen in person in six months, but they're on camera. They're growing and have (antler) nubs right now."
Though her permit requires Billie to release all her fawns by Dec. 1, she firmly believes they're not "really releasable until they're 6 months old. In the wild, they follow their moms for two years."
The Garretts hope to raise enough money to build a 10-acre enclosure suitable for releasing the fawns into a safe area where they can begin to acclimate to wild living, learning to fend for themselves and develop a healthy suspicion of humans.
"We don't want them to come up to us after they're released," said Jarvis. "It's good for them to be skittish."
An avid deer hunter, Billie Garrett doesn't sentimentalize the animals under her care. She realizes death is inevitable in nature, but her love of whitetails drives her to save any fawn she can from unnecessary suffering.
"I feel like I'm giving back, too," she said. "We deer hunt for our dog food. So we have to put back at least six deer a year for my two dogs. If you're a hunter, you know when you have to take some of the population. You get too many does, or too many ones that have small horns or look skinny, and you know you have to take them out to better the herd."
Many of the fawns Billie rescues come in through the animal hospital, where they're often treated pro bono by her boss, Dr. Iain Fitch. Such was the case with a severely deformed "pie-bald" baby that arrived covered in maggots, weighing only three pounds.
"They brought him in and said, 'What is this?'" said Billie. "His front feet were completely backward, his back feet were flipped over. He was dwarfed, with a hunch in his back, everything. But we splinted all his legs and he was released this last year. We still see him occasionally."
Silver Creek Fawn Rescue is accepting donations that the Garretts will put toward fencing in an enclosure for acclimating released fawns to the wild, as well as food, bleach, laundry detergent and other supplies. Checks can be mailed to Bonnie Brae Animal Hospital, attn. Billie, 155 Shuford Rd, Columbus, NC 28722.

SUNNYVALE -- The parking lot of a Sunnyvale vehicle consignment company once filled with high-end used cars including BMWs, Mercedes Benzes and Lexuses is now mostly vacant, and some car owners fear they have lost thousands of dollars.
Most of the estimated 80 pre-owned luxury automobiles on the Sunnyvale Motorcars lot were mysteriously towed away last week. The dealership's phone number leads to a voice mail box that is full. Attempts to reach the business' registered owner, Trixie Ann Garcia, were unsuccessful.
Todd Parsons of Moraga was using Sunnyvale Motorcars to help sell his 2004 6-series BMW, valued between $30,000 and $35,000. He has not heard from anyone from the consignment business since last week, when he was promised a payment for his BMW after the dealership's first check to him bounced.
Parsons said that before he handed his car over to the dealer, he checked with the Department of Motor Vehicles and visited the dealership.
"I did the sniff test on this business. I vetted them out," Parsons said. "It looked like a reasonable avenue."
Capt. Doug Moretto of the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety said his department is investigating Parsons' case.
"We have not determined that a crime has occurred at this point," Moretto said in an email.
Workers at British & European Import Car Service, next door to Sunnyvale Motorcars, said they saw a tow truck mostly empty the parking lot on Nov. 30.
"These were all high-end cars," said Neil Musngi, a manager at British & European Import Car Service. "It's big money."
Musngi said customers of Sunnyvale Motorcars began showing up this week and were stunned to find an empty lot.
Retired human resources manager Art Reimers, of Danville, said that when he signed his 2008 Range Rover Sport over to Sunnyvale Motor Cars, a man named Andy Paul, who told Reimers he was the owner, assured him that the dealership was licensed and bonded by the DMV.
"Dummy me, I believed them," Reimers said. "I don't like the DMV, but if anybody would pick you to death to find out what you're doing, it would be the DMV."
Peter Beyer, a finance manager in San Jose who sold cars while he was in college, said he checked in with the agency before he handed over the keys to his 2008 BMW 650i. Their license and bond checked out, he said.
Beyer even kept the pink slip for his $54,000 car while Sunnyvale Motorcars tried to sell it. A manager at the dealership told him he could come down in person, verify the funds and sign over the paperwork once a buyer was located.
Instead, Beyer said, his car ¿is gone from the dealership lot with no explanation.
Police have told him it could take two or three weeks to untangle the web of paperwork that spells out ownership, he said.
All three buyers described a similar beginning to their stories -- they tried to sell the cars through Auto Trader and Craigslist, only to be contacted by representatives of Sunnyvale Motorcars, who urged them to sell through consignment.
Parsons said a company representative "pestered the hell out of me for weeks."
Parsons found some complaints on Yelp from people who said they hadn't been paid. Employees told him the company had some cash flow problems in the past, but they had since resolved them.
Once the car was sold, ¿Parsons took a dealer-issued check to the company's bank.
"They kind of chuckled and laughed at me and said, 'There's no money in this account,'" Parsons said.
After repeatedly trying to get payment, Parsons said, he was told that the dealership had acquired a new line of credit, and would be sending out cashiers checks on Nov. 30.
He's still waiting for that check, he said.

Jaren rolled to the side, just in time to avoid being incinerated by one of the explosive infernos. He grabbed his sword from where it lay on the ground, sweat dripping down his forehead. "Haganoth!"

To join the Honors College, and to maintain one's standing in it, the only requirement is a Lindenwood GPA of 3.3 or above. (A freshman must have a 29 or above on their ACTs; appeals are welcome if the reading OR math score is above 30).
To become an active member of the Honors College, the only requirement is to be currently in an Honors-only section, or to have successfully completed, at least one course for honors credit.
To graduate with University Honors, one must complete at least eight courses for honors credit. This can be done in two ways:
If you are a new student who is in an honors section, register for classes early by turning in your honors application one month prior to the early registration date (which is one week before the date for seniors). If you are already an active member of the Honors College who has turned in your form, then you're all set for early registration and you don't need to do anything.
To get credit for an arranged honors course, the professor will indicate the grade in the system as either an A or B with Honors (e.g. AH or BH).

Criminal Jury
A person "enters or
remains unlawfully" in or upon premises when the premises, at the time
of such entry or remaining, are not open to the public and when the
actor is not otherwise licensed or privileged to do so.
General Statutes § 53a-100 (b) (applies to Part VIII: Burglary,
Criminal Trespass, Arson, Criminal Mischief, §§ 53a-101 -- 53a-117m).
Depending on the facts, unlawful entry and unlawful remaining may be
conceptually distinct. "To enter unlawfully means to accomplish an
entry by unlawful means, while to remain unlawfully means that the
initial entering of the building . . . was lawful but the presence
therein became unlawful because the right, privilege or license to
remain was extinguished." State v. Weaver, 85 Conn. App. 329,
342, cert. denied, 271 Conn. 942 (2004); see also State v. Clark,
48 Conn. App. 812, 822, cert. denied, 245 Conn. 921 (1998); State v.
Edwards, 10 Conn. App. 503, 513, cert. denied, 204 Conn. 808
(1987). In other cases, a person's acts of entering and remaining may
be conceptually indistinct and inseparable. "[T]he defendant's conduct
constituted one continuous course of unlawful conduct, namely, that he
entered the apartment unlawfully and remained there without any change
in his legal status. Under these circumstances, the unlawfulness of
his entry determined the unlawfulness of his remaining. The two
inexorably intertwined acts were conceptually indistinct." State v.
Delgado, 19 Conn. App. 245, 249 (1989); see also State v. Austin,
59 Conn. App. 305, 310, cert. denied, 255 Conn. 912 (2000); State v.
Moales, 41 Conn. App. 817, 824-26, cert. denied, 239 Conn. 908
(1996). The court's instruction should be tailored to the allegations.
See State v. Belton, 190 Conn. 496, 502 (1983) (by giving an
expansive instruction when the information only alleged that the
defendant "unlawfully entered" the building, the court "effectively
enlarged the offense as stated in the information").
"[A]n entry occurs
with any penetration, however slight, of the space within the . . .
building by the defendant, or by any part of his body." (Citations
omitted; internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Weaver, 85
Conn. App. 329, 342, cert. denied, 271 Conn. 942 (2004). Force is not
required. "Forcible entry, with or without damage, is not an element of
burglary." State v. Garrett, 42 Conn. App. 507, 513, cert.
denied, 239 Conn. 928-29 (1996). It may, however, be relevant to the
defendant's intent to commit a crime. State v. Ward, 76 Conn.
App. 779, 799, cert. denied, 264 Conn. 918 (2004).
"The phrase 'licensed
or privileged,' as used in General Statutes § 53a-100 (b) is meant as a
unitary phrase, rather than as a reference to two separate concepts."
State v. Grant, 6 Conn. App. 24, 30 (1986). "In general, a
license or privilege to enter premises may derive from a transaction
between the possessor and the actor, or may arise irrespective of any
such transaction. Examples of those that arise from such a transaction
involve situations in which there is a present consent, or there was a
past consent, creating a license to enter. Examples of those that arise
irrespective of previous transactions between the parties involves
situations in which the possessor acted tortiously toward the actor, or
when public policy creates the license or privilege." Id., 30-31. See
State v. Hersey, 78 Conn. App. 141, cert. denied, 266 Conn. 903
(2003) (entering a home in violation of a protective order is entering
"without license or privilege"); State v. Stagnitta, 74 Conn.
App. 607, 615-17, cert. denied, 263 Conn. 902 (2003) (though an employee
may have had the right to enter the office of the restaurant, that right
did not extend to entering the office "displaying an eight to ten inch
knife and demanding money").

I dislike the title Bizarre Food - it's inherently condescending and insulting.
Yes, yes, I know, it's good if it leads people to try things, but please.
That said, congrats to you for the consulting gig and the spot on camera.

Google Targets Lower-Tier Smartphone Market With Moto G
Google Motorola unit announced a low-priced phone called Moto G at an event in Brazil, hoping to reignite momentum by appealing to cost-conscious customers, particularly people in emerging markets.
In the U.S., a version of the Moto G with eight gigabytes of memory will be cost $179 without a wireless-carrier contract, while a 16-gigabyte version will go for $199. Motorola says the phone, which comes with a sharp 4.5-inch display, will have all-day battery life and soon be able to run KitKat, the latest version of Google's Android mobile-operating system. (The full spec-sheet is on Mototola's site.)
Considering unsubsidized high-end smartphones generally cost north of $500 — Motorola's higher-end model, the Moto X, starts at $549 without a contract — the Moto G's most notable feature is the price. "A product that can do 70% of the functionality at 50% of the cost is something that's attractive to a lot of consumers," Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster said. At the event, Motorola Chief Executive Dennis Woodside said the company is "setting our sights on the world."
Research firm Strategy Analytics estimates that the midtier price category — devices with a wholesale price of $100 to $200 — will make up about 23% of the world-wide smartphone market in 2013, with the $200 to $1,000 segment making up 55%.
Munster said the price point is likely to add to tension with Google's Android partners like Samsung. "The talk about what Google could do with Motorola — competing with its partners — just became a reality," he said. "That price makes the competition between Google and its partners much sharper."
Motorola is operated independently and doesn't have Android partners, spokesman William Moss said. "We make money on the device," he said. Google declined to comment.
The Moto G announcement comes on the heels of weak early sales for the Moto X. While providing an update on the Moto X today, Woodside didn't mention the sales data.
Strategy Analytics estimates that just half a million Moto X phones were sold during the five weeks the device was on sale in the third quarter — one-twentieth the amount of Galaxy S4 smartphones that Samsung sold in its first month. Motorola has remained a drag on Google's bottom line. Despite two rounds of layoffs, the unit continues to generate sizable operating losses, so far totaling roughly $2 billion since the acquisition. That's driving up the cost of the deal for Google, though the $12.5 billion sticker price overstates what Google paid, since Motorola came with $2.9 billion in cash reserves as well as a set-top box business that Google later sold for $2.4 billion.
Google faces a challenge in matching up against the cumulative investment in marketing that pays dividends for the likes of Apple and Samsung, said Rajeev Chand, an analyst at Rutberg & Co., an investment bank that focuses on the mobile industry. But with more than $50 billion of cash in its own bank account, Google will have no trouble absorbing Motorola's losses.
Bernstein & Co. analyst Carlos Kirjner notes that Motorola has only just started rolling out devices developed since the Google acquisition, and that fixed costs such as research and development have been cut. "We expect the unit's operating losses to decline substantially in the future," he said.

News 12 has been covering this story from the beginning. Click the links below to read our stories from this week:
About Officer Scott Richardson:
The greater Aiken community is mourning the loss of an officer who was killed in the line of duty following a shooting Dec. 20.
Master Public Safety Officer Scott Richardson, 33, died after being shot in the head by a suspect on Brandt Court.
Richardson and 28-year-old Officer Travis Griffin were trying to make a traffic stop when the gunman opened fired, shooting both officers.
Richardson died early Wednesday morning at GHSU after he was shot in the head.
Griffin was shot in the chest, but his bulletproof vest saved his life. He was treated at a local hospital and later released.
The Aiken Department of Public Safety has released this statement: "Master PSO Richardson was a beloved husband and proud father. His constant smile was a pleasant sight at this office and to all those who knew him.
Richardson was a graduate of South Aiken High School and University of South Carolina Aiken.
He started working at Aiken Public Safety on Sept. 27, 1999, as a cadet. He worked his way up to driver operator and then became a public safety officer in early 2005.
Richardson leaves behind his wife and three young children.
Statements from the family:
Dec. 22, 2011
"We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for the support we have received from Aiken and the surrounding communities. One can never be prepared for a tragedy like this, but it is comforting to know that Scotty was loved and respected by so many people.
Members of the law enforcement community, especially the Aiken Department of Public Safety (ADPS), have been awesome. Scotty's brothers and sisters at ADPS have been with us since this nightmare began and they have never left our side. You will never know how much each one of you have meant to us.
We would also like to thank the trauma team at Georgia Health Sciences University. Each one of you showed tremendous care and compassion while working with Scotty.
It is hard to understand why Scotty was taken from us by this cowardly act, but we know that he died doing what he loved and that was being a police officer serving the public.
In the coming days we will lay our Scott to rest. We ask that you keep us in your prayers and especially his wife, Amely, and three precious boys, Zander, Chase and Maddox. We would also ask for privacy as we mourn the loss of Scotty, a public servant and hero."
Dec. 29, 2011
"Words cannot adequately express the love and support our family has felt since our Scotty was called home to be with his Lord and Savior in the early morning of Dec. 21.
The Aiken community has been with us every step.
The acts of kindness have ranged from cleaning our yard, erecting tents so that family and friends would not be subjected to the elements, helping with the children, clothing family members for the funeral and providing food. We have not wanted for anything.
It is always dangerous when you start publicly thanking people because you do not want to leave anyone out, but we must say thank you to the staff at O'Charley's and Houndslake Country Club. On Christmas night, these folks prepared a wonderful meal for our family. The reason we mention this is because a lot of us had not left the house since Dec. 21. We were able to gather in a private setting and enjoy Christmas as a family.
Throughout this ordeal, the support from the Aiken Department of Public Safety and other representatives from the City of Aiken has been overwhelming. You should know that Scotty would be proud, but he would also be embarrassed by all of the fuss over him. To his brothers and sisters at ADPS, you are always welcome in our home and we count it an honor to call you family.
Scotty's funeral service was conducted in a very regal manner. Shellhouse-Rivers Funeral Home, you were caring and compassionate during this entire process. When we arrived at the Convocation Center, the sight of all of the public safety personnel was jaw-dropping, but we were equally astounded when we began our journey to Bethany Cemetery seeing the citizens lining the streets while braving the windy conditions.
We have many friends that have been with us during this trying time and all we can say is thank you! We would have never made it without you. As the days, weeks and months pass, please keep us in your prayers because only time will heal this deep wound.
In closing, it is our hope that Scotty did not die in vain. Let's all reach out to the children of our community and make sure that they stay on the right path. Encourage and love them because that is what Scotty would do."

End of Watch: Friday, Nov. 17, 1911

During the second encounter another quarrel ensued and Officer Patterson attempted to place the man under arrest. The suspect gave Officer Patterson $5 for his appearance bond and then pulled out a revolver and shot Officer Peterson. Officer Peterson had been with the agency for 35 years and was survived by his wife and five children.

I love Henrietta Edith Elizabeth. It has nice flow, I think it sounds great with Adelaide, and Henrietta has so many nickname possibilities.
My husband and I considered Harriet Olive for a while, but then my husband pointed out that it can sometimes sound like Hairy Olive, which is kind of gross sounding. It ruined it for me, but I still think it's really pretty in theory.

Former Eagle resident and competitive athlete John Klish was recently selected to the U.S. Deaflympics team and is trying to raise $7,500 by July.
These particular Games are for deaf athletes and will be in Sofia, Bulgaria, from July 26 through Aug. 4. Klish said 120 elite deaf and hard of hearing athletes will represent the USA in 10 different sports.
"The Summer Deaflympics are among the world's fastest growing sporting events," he said. "More than 2,500 deaf athletes and officials from 77 nations participated in the 21st Summer Deaflympics in Taipei, Taiwan, in September 2009."
The Deaflympics began in 1924 and was organized by the International Committee of Sports of the Deaf.
"Unlike hearing Olympians or Paralympians, elite deaf and hard of hearing athletes like myself must do my own fund-raising because I do not receive financial support from the United States Olympic Committee," Klish continued. "This presents a twofold challenge for Deaflympics athletes: fund-raising and training for the Deaflympics."
The Enterprise published a story about Klish in 2011. The 32-year-old was born deaf, beat testicular cancer in 2005-2006 and has been traveling all over the world to compete in various foot, bike and swim races. Though a hip injury sustained in Taiwan last November put Klish off the race schedule for most of the winter, in general he trains 15 to 25 hours a week, enters around 50 races a year and works full time as an engineer for the Colorado Department of Transportation.
"I was transferred back to Grand Junction (with CDOT) in May 2012," he said. "I started to plummet mentally in October 2010 and fell apart. I took some time away from work to heal my mind - I believe I was overworked at the construction job I was overseeing that summer. After being mostly healed, I got back to the job and had to relocate. In short, my job conditions changed and I had to change to address my depression situation appropriately."
Klish was selected for the Deaflympics by the team coach.
"You qualify through the racing experience and participation in various deaf cycling events," he said. "My coach picked me through my performance at the Tour de Formosa race this past fall in Taiwan, where I won a couple of medals (first and second places)."
For the Deaflympics, Klish plans to participate in all four road cycling events - a 1000-meter sprint, 40-kilometer individual time trial, road race, and 50-kilometer points race.
"I'll be focusing more on road races this summer to hone my road skills and I'll still be doing a few triathlons and mountain bike races here and there to keep it interesting," he said. "I'm one of these kind of people that needs to mix it up to keep the training fun."
A website has been set up for people to make donations and help Klish reach his goal of $7,500 to go to the Deaflympics at www.gofundme.com/Klishy-Deaflympics. So far, 40 percent, or about $3,000 of the fund-raising goal has been reached.

DETROIT -- Well, that was certainly not pleasant.
In fact, it was an all-around miserable weekend trip for the Athletics of Oakland.
"Don't give up on us," A's outfielder Josh Reddick said. "We're not done yet."
Nevertheless, after two days here in the City That Knows How To Dress Warm For 48-Degree-Weather Baseball, the A's find themselves trailing the Detroit Tigers two games to none. In a best-of-five series, that's a very bad place to be.
Although for the record, after Sunday's 5-4 loss, the visiting clubhouse was still full of plucky words.
"We'd obviously like to be in the opposite situation," said A's pitcher Brett Anderson, who will likely start Game 3 on Tuesday in Oakland. "But this team has responded well all year. All you want is the opportunity to go back and win a game. That's what we have."
In fact, some people might even believe the A's have the Tigers right where they want them, considering how the young Oakland roster spent September bouncing back from several horrible losses to win enough clutch games and clinch the American League West.
I am not one of those counterintuitive believers. I never think it is better to be 0-2 than 2-0, no matter how magical a team you supposedly are. I am mostly wondering what happened to the A's team that swept the Texas Rangers last week.
I am also wondering if, given their druthers, the A's might have preferred to be the lower-seeded team in this A.L. Divisional Series instead of the higher-seeded one with the alleged "home-field advantage." Because if the A's had instead been the lower-seeded team, they would have opened the series in Oakland. Wouldn't that have been more fair, given the A's had more regular-season wins than the Tigers?
"I don't have any opinion on that," A's center fielder Coco Crisp said flatly.
Grant Balfour, the A's closer who gave up Sunday's winning run, did have an opinion. All along, he was not excited about allowing a Detroit team with fewer regular-season wins to have the first two bites of the home ballpark apple in the series.
"To come in and have to play them twice here first, I'm not a fan of that," he said.
Bless him for his honesty. But why were the A's in this pickle? Get out your pencil and pad for the next few paragraphs. This takes some explaining.
Usually, in a best-of-five series format, the higher-seeded team plays the first two games at home, with the following two games on the road and Game 5 back at home if necessary -- with travel days scheduled after Game 2 and Game 4.
But just for this October, that format changed. The higher-seeded team in each of the four division series opens on the road for two games, then returns home for the next (potential) three games. It was the trickle-down effect of a decision made late last winter by Major League Baseball to add a second wild-card team, creating the need for an extra play-in game between the two wild cards in each league.
The problem: By that point, the regular season had already been scheduled to end on Oct. 3. And for network TV purposes, the World Series was locked in to start on Oct. 24, after the first two playoff rounds. There was no room for the extra wild-card game.
So the MLB honchos decided to create room. They dropped one travel day from the first round and turned the 2-2-1 format into a 2-3 format with the lower-seeded team at home for the first two games. Next year when the October schedule can be done earlier, the format will revert to 2-2-1.
Got all that? There's no question that of all the higher-seeded teams with an alleged "home-field advantage" this week, the A's received the shortest end of the stick. Not only did they have to open away from home, they did it three time zones away to the east (always tougher than going west) and faced a Sunday 9 a.m. first pitch according to their body clocks.
Before the game, in fact, A's outfielder Jonny Gomes expressed concern about the challenge of gearing up for catching a team bus when the players are usually still in REM sleep.
"If you do the time change, it's a 5:05 a.m. bus and a 4:30 a.m. alarm," Gomes said. "It's tough to call that 'home-field advantage.' "
Here's the thing, however: All of the MLB teams, including the A's, agreed to this year's 2-3 first-round format when it was adopted.
And here's the other thing: In spite of the weirdness, the A's could easily have still won Sunday's game to at least salvage a split here. They took the lead three times and lost the lead all three times.
The last two times were the most ugly, involving a misplayed basket-catch attempt by Crisp and a wild pitch by reliever Ryan Cook. Was it the time-change funk that caused Crisp and Cook to make errors that might have been as mental as physical? Maybe yes. Maybe no. Crisp said he should have made the play. Cook said he just messed up and "yanked" the pitch.
If the A's needed any further motivation, Detroit reliever Al Alburquerque probably gave them some with a bit of over-the-top showmanship in the top of the ninth. Alburquerque fielded a comebacker from Yoenis Cespedes but, before throwing to first base for the final out of the inning, Alburquerque took time to kiss the ball. Silly. But it's more important for the A's, now that they actually have the home-field advantage they are supposed to have, to think in practical terms.
"We get the last at-bats now," Crisp said. "We've swept teams before. We have confidence in ourselves."
Yes, the A's were put in a pickle by the format. Too bad. Championship teams don't whine or gripe in this situation. They win one game. And then another. And then another. That's what the A's must do to make their lost and cold weekend here a distant memory.

Air travelers could face continued delays around California airports on Monday, even as San Francisco International Airport officials planned to re-open one of its two shuttered runways on Sunday.
Mineta San Jose International Airport received another 12 flights on Sunday that had been diverted from San Francisco International Airport and passengers should expect heavier-than-normal traffic on Monday.
While not as chaotic as Saturday, San Jose International also saw an unusually high number of passengers who presumably were returning from the Fourth of July weekend, airport spokeswoman Vicki Day said.
Airport officials were unsure whether to expect more SFO-diverted flights on Monday, but plan on seeing even more post-Fourth of July travelers, Day said.
Passengers flying into and out of San Jose on Monday should check with their airlines, she said.
Brian Kidd, spokesman for Oakland International Airport, said on Monday the airport will "definitely be ramping up again. You've got to check airline by airline."
Oakland did not receive any diverted flights from SFO on Sunday. But JetBlue airline decided to fly two flights out of Oakland instead of San Francisco, which required the airline to shuttle passengers across the Bay, Kidd said.
At Los Angeles International Airport, several SFO-bound flights again were canceled on Sunday and harried and tired passengers sometimes ran through the airport trying to get a flight out.
Natalie Alund, a reporter for this newspaper, said the scene was even more chaotic than Saturday, when Alund's flight to SFO was canceled.
On Sunday, she was stuck on the tarmac inside an SFO-bound flight for nearly an hour because the pilot said air traffic controllers in San Francisco would not let the plane take off as scheduled.
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed Saturday on Runway 28L, which remained littered with debris and closed on Sunday.
But Runway 28R -- one of SFO's four runways -- will reopen by day's end, airport officials said.
In both the domestic and international San Francisco terminals, passengers who were served with cancellations and delays scrambled to find alternative ways home.
Passengers saw delays several hours long, and in some cases, they will have been at the airport for more than 24 hours by the time they fly out. Many were taking the delays in stride, noting the perspective provided by the crash that killed two and injured more than 100 others, some critically.
"You have to roll with it," said Amber Wood, an Illinois resident trying to fly to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
That's a tall order for Wood, who is traveling with three children after vacationing in the Bay Area for the past week. She arrived at the airport expecting that at worst they would have to deal with a two-and-a-half hour delay.
Try two days. And that's after looking for a flight on another airline; her original carrier didn't have anything home-bound for a week.
"It impacts us greatly, trying to get back to jobs and things like that," Wood said. "But (the crash) instantly puts things into perspective."
James Truesdale came to the airport for a Saturday evening flight after his carrier told him that his plane would take off as scheduled, perhaps with a slight delay.
He and his girlfriend ended up taxiing and then parking, stranded on a London-bound plane for nearly eight hours before they were let back into the international terminal. A fuel leak was partly to blame, he was told.
"They kept saying in 15 to 20 minutes we'll be ready," Truesdale said, adding that promise was made ad nauseam. "We weren't allowed to move for two solid hours."
By the time he was to leave Sunday, he will have spent a full day lounging in the terminal. Like the others, he was tired and exasperated, but still remarkably patient given what had transpired Saturday.
"These things happen, and there's nothing you can do," Truesdale said. "I just want to get home."

Rig Runs Aground in Alaska, Reviving Fears About Arctic Drilling

The rig, the Kulluk, broke free from a tow ship in stormy seas and ran aground Monday night. The Coast Guard was leading an effort to keep its more than 150,000 gallons of diesel fuel and lubricants from spilling onto the rocky shoreline.

USDGC Rules Variance – Graham
Graham gave the board an overview and summary of a request by Harold Duvall for a rules variance to rule 803.09 Out-of-Bounds, for the 2012 United States Disc Golf Championship. Harold submitted the following:
If the disc comes to rest completely surrounded by out-of-bounds after clearly hitting the playing surface in bounds sometime during the throw, the player has an option as to how to proceed. The player may elect to play the next throw from a lie that is up to one meter away from and perpendicular to the point where the disc last crossed out of bounds counting the original throw and a one-throw penalty. Or the player may elect to re-throw from the previous lie counting the original throw, but no additional penalty throw.
If the player's disc comes to rest completely surrounded by out-of-bounds clearly without ever hitting the playing surface in bounds, the player will re-throw from the previous lie counting the original throw. No additional penalty throw will be added.
grodney wrote:Like_Water wrote:Easily the best tournament that is no longer.
I don't get it. Is it not still the best tournament? I mean, they had that one year of handicapping which was lame. But the real division is still the USDGC, isn't it?
'OB' is used in the rules to refer to outof-
bounds. If your throw goes OB, it
is still your turn. Throw again from
the same lie, even if this lie is within
the 10-meter circle. Count one for the
throw that went OB but no additional
penalty throw. All paved
roads and parking lots are out-ofbounds.
Except as noted, all sidewalks
are out-of-bounds. Some roads and
sidewalks are delineated by white lines
to define the edges. Concrete curbing,
where present, is out-of-bounds. The
concrete parking lot drains that extend
inwards on holes 11 and 13 are not part
of curbing; they are in-bounds.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Oct. 29, 2012
AIKEN, S.C.-- Some local crews are ready to respond to damage left behind by Sandy. Some are heading there, others have already left.
It's being called a major mobilization of crews. We're talking anyone from North Augusta paramedics to Augusta-Aiken Red Cross volunteers to power crews.
All of them say they are ready, come what may, in this historic storm.
Red Cross volunteer Jerry George is just waiting for the call.
"I'm not sure when I'm going, not sure if I'm going, but I'd certainly like to," George said.
Brandon Gary waits too.
"I really want to do this to the point that I don't mind taking my own car, spending my own money for travels," he said.
For now, they pack up getting ready to meet Sandy and she's a fickle one.
"There is that slight anticipation, you know, it's your first time, you are not quite sure what to expect," Gary said.
Over at Aiken Electric, power crews already know what to expect, they're there.
VP of Operations Dan Garman told News 12, "We deployed one four-man crew, and they were in three trucks."
Crews are now in Virginia, weathering the storm.
"They know how to do the work, you know, that's not an issue. It's really the environment that they have to work in," Garman said.
It's the same environment paramedics from Capital City ambulance are in, too.
Crews left early Monday and News 12 caught up with Amy McNeeley and Carin Brassel via Web cam.
"We're now in Richmond, Va., for the night, going to get a good night sleep and a shower and a meal and they'll deploy us in the morning," they said.
They spoke to News 12 through rain and wind, conditions that are anything but favorable for a road trip.
"We drove through the night and through the day and we were diverted around 5 o'clock because there were several bridges closed," Brassel said.
But, with determination like this, not even Sandy's powerful punch is enough to stop them.
"We hope we can do something in our field and help the community," Brassel said.
"You now, I really have a passion to help those in need," Gary said.
"We are right there making a difference right there and seeing the effects of my work," George said.
As for those Red Cross volunteers, we're told it is not a matter of if but more like when they will be sent. It really depends on the progress and intensity of the storm.

Chris Ortte: N.H.'s banning dodgeball prevents students from learning to stand up for themselves
Violence is a staple in describing American society. From the Wild West to urban street gangs, it is something that has been a part of our society throughout its history.However, what seems to be developing in American society is not a cure for violence but only a �wimpification� of our society.

Stockton police arrested Isidrio Perez, 26, Sunday morning, a day after he allegedly threw a pot of boiling water on another man, causing third-degree burns.
Police said they arrested Perez at 9:17 a.m. in the 1300 block of East Lindsay Street for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon and felony battery.
The incident reportedly occurred Saturday night during a confrontation in which Perez reportedly first went after his victim with a baseball bat, swung and, apparently losing his balance, fell to the ground. Police said the boiling water came next.
Perez's arrest came only after the victim was treated for his injuries and called police Sunday to provide further information on the incident, investigators said.

Good stuff
All the tea in Dublin
Seen & heard
'Hey, fellas, Rome is that-a-way!'
Those attending last week's Livermore City Council meeting were scratching their heads when contractor Doug Fernandez approached the lectern during the public comment period.
Fernandez addressed the council accompanied by two Roman soldiers holding spears, a wise man in a floor-length robe, and children dressed as Mary and Joseph.
It wasn't a political statement; Fernandez was there to invite council members to his "Living Bethlehem" nativity show, that runs Dec. 13-17 at 222 Church St.
The actors filed out, but not without a parting "Hail Caesar!" from the soldiers, directed at Mayor John Marchand and the rest of the council.

Nov. 22, 1971 Top stories of the Pleasanton Times
Headline: 'Vietnamese Guests Tour City'
Pleasanton's problems, such as they are, seem rather minor in comparison to the worries facing a group of five South Vietnamese administrative heads who came to Pleasanton to see firsthand how this community is handling its growth.
The five are all deputy province chiefs and deputy mayors from areas around Saigon. Pleasanton was only the second stop on a five-week tour that will take the dignitaries to many of the 50 states.
City officials, including City Manager Bill Edgar and other department heads, welcomed the group and went on a bus tour of the city that included, Kaiser Center, Muirwood Park, the McCloud Pumping Station and the fairgrounds.
"It is different now" said LeVan Them, the only South Vietnamese who spoke English, "because of the war, all the people have crowded into the cities because they fear sabotage and terrorism."
They all, however, are looking forward to the war's end and even now are beginning to start planning for peacetime problems. Them admitted the Vietnamese administrative agencies won't be able to apply many of the things they will learn on the tour because there are no funds "but, we can imitate your organization and modify it to fit our country." he added.

About the Book
In The End Is Near and It's Going to Be Awesome, Kevin Williamson, a National Review Online contributor, makes the bold argument that the United States government is disintegrating—and that it is a good thing!
Williamson offers a radical re-envisioning of government, a powerful analysis of why it doesn't work, and an exploration of the innovative solutions to various social problems that are spontaneously emerging as a result of the failure of politics and government.
Critical and compelling, The End Is Near and It's Going to Be Awesome: How Going Broke Will Leave America Richer, Happier, and More Secure lays out a thoughtful plan for a new system, one based on success stories from around the country, from those who home-school their children to others who have successfully created their own currency.
The End Is Near and It's Going to Be Awesome is a radical re-visioning of what government is, a powerful analysis of why it doesn't work, and an exploration of the innovative solutions spontaneously emerging thanks to the fortunate failure of politics.
Every year, consumer goods and services get better, cheaper, and more widely available while critical necessities delivered by government grow more expensive, even as their quality declines. The reason for this paradox is simple: politics. Not bad politics, not liberal politics, not conservative politics, not politics corrupted by big money or distorted by special-interest groups, but the simple practice of delivering goods and services through federal, state, and local governments and their obsolete decision-making practices.
National Review columnist Kevin Williamson describes the crisis of the modern welfare state in the era of globalization and argues that the crucial political failures of our time—education, health care, social security, and monetary policy—are due not to ideology but the nature of politics itself. Meanwhile, those who can't or won't turn to the state for goods and services—from homeschoolers to Wall Street to organized crime—are experimenting with replacing the outmoded social software of the state with market-derived alternatives.
Williamson compellingly analyzes the government's numerous failures and reports on the solutions that people all over the country are discovering. You will meet homeschoolers who have abandoned public schools; see inside private courtrooms that administer the law beyond government; encounter entrepreneurs developing everything from private currencies to shadow intelligence agencies rivaling the CIA; and learn about the remarkably peaceable enforcement of justice in the allegedly lawless Wild West.
As our outmoded twentieth-century government collapses under the weight of its own incompetence and inefficiency, Williamson points to the green shoots of the brave new world that is already being born.

About Us > Newsroom > Monfort Family Honored for Transformational Gift
National Jewish Health today honored the Monfort Family Foundation for its extraordinary contribution to the institution, which helped launch the largest study ever done of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. National Jewish Health Chairman of the Board Tom Gart presented the National Jewish Health President's Award to Monfort family members Richard and Charles Monfort, Kaye Ward, Myra Monfort Runyan and Kyle Futo.
"We are here to honor the members of this generous family," said Gart. "One that rose from humble roots yet stayed grounded, one who used its imagination to achieve success and who now seeds medical innovation, and one whose philanthropy to National Jewish and others is truly major league."
The award was a sculpture, "Romeo and Juliet," created by Dr. Joel Mosko, a respected Colorado physician, humanitarian, and artist.
In 2004, the Monfort Family Foundation established the Kenneth W. Monfort Comprehensive Program for Research into COPD with a $2.25 million gift to National Jewish Health. The gift funded a dozen researchers, led by National Jewish Professor of Medicine James Crapo, MD. Based on preliminary findings from the Monfort-funded work, Dr. Crapo was able to garner a $37-million grant from the National Institutes of Health for the largest, most comprehensive study ever done on COPD, involving 12,000 patients followed for five years at 21 different medical centers.
"The size, scope and duration of this study is unprecedented for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease," said Dr. Crapo. "We were able to leverage the $2.25 million Monfort gift into a $39.25-million research effort. One family's generosity will change the face of this disease. It was a truly transformational gift."
