About the Book
Former private investigator Sean Chercover is back with Trigger City after taking the world of crime fiction by storm with his debut novel, <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Big City, Bad Blood. Big City earned a slew of Award nominations—for the Barry and Anthony Awards, among others—and won the Shamus, Gumshoe, Crimespree, and Lovey Awards. His second gritty, suspenseful winner recalls the best of Dennis Lehane and Robert Crais and it lifts Chercover's rapidly rising star into the stratosphere. Trigger City is a Dilys Award winner, a Macavity Award nominee, and it prompted the Chicago Tribune to praise Sean Chercover as "the Ross Macdonald of his time."
The facts:
A lonely woman was murdered by her disturbed coworker.
The police have investigated. The case is closed.
But facts are not truth.
A routine investigation of an open-and-shut case is just what PI Ray Dudgeon needs to recover from the physical and emotional consequences of confronting the Chicago Outfit—until "routine" spirals out of control. The victim was no quiet, unassuming, unlucky single woman; she lived a double life in the shadowy realm of covert intelligence . . . and she died for the truth. Suddenly, Ray's ensnared in a conspiracy of darkness that weaves its way through the very fabric of the nation, and in grave danger of becoming collateral damage in America's war on terror. And his greatest enemy may be himself.

We're a unique Perth Hills destination steeped in history, with spectacular artisan ciders, wines and fruit wines. Add sublime views over the apple orchards and a Slightly Twisted crew to the mix and you can't help but unwind.
Orchards: A kick-ass Taylex water treatment plant recycles all grey water from operations (restaurant and cider production) onto the orchard. Solar panels installed last July have saved over 25 tonnes of CO2 emissions and BioDynamic farming methods help minimise farm inputs. Fruit pulp from cider production is turned into compost to nurture our orchards where the prime focus is on quality not quantity of yield. That's why our ciders taste so good!
Menu: We showcase fresh WA produce (and fruits from our orchard of course) and with sauces and cakes made in-house. Our Northern Italian Valtellinese heritage comes to the fore in some dishes such as Pizzocheri and Osso Bucco.
CORE bevvies: No drink miles here - our ciders are all Born, Bred & Bottled on site. How good is that!
The ROOTS – 1st generation (1939): Giovanni Battista Della Franca (aka Jack, as no-one could pronounce his name) arrives from Italy, plants the first apples at High Vale orchard and introduces the Australian public to his singular grappa and the game of Bocce (with a pitch originally made from crushed ants nests!)
The HARVEST – 2nd generation (1957): Jack's son GianCarlo Della Franca (aka Charlie – ditto as above) purchases the legendary '57 Chev truck, plants a small vineyard on the property and starts his experimentations with wine.
The CORE – 3rd generation (2005): Jack's grandson John Della Franca creates the CORE Cider brand and the original cider recipes. John is where the Slightly Twisted comes into it (just check out our CORE videos…)
Emily (aka the Apple Tart) joined to take some of the load off John's shoulders but has in fact created more work for him than could ever be imagined. Emily has several music degrees and she also has an MBA, but sadly admits that these amount to a Master of Bugger All for life on 'the farm'.

The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation into a Dreamlifter landing at a wrong airport.
The Boeing 747 landed at Colonel James Jabara Airport Wednesday night. It was scheduled to land at McConnell Air Force Base, although it is unclear why the pilots landed at another airport nine miles away.
Peter Knudson, NTSB Spokesman, said the agency is investigating to better understand the circumstances that led to the incident.
"Determine if there are any issues that can be addressed to improve the safety of the system," Knudson said in an email to Eyewitness News.
The Dreamlifter sat at Jabara's 6,100-foot runway overnight while waiting for clearance to take off. Boeing pilots took off from KAAO around 1:15 p.m. Thursday without incident. The plane landed at it original destination a few minutes later.
Boeing contracts with Atlas Air to fly the airplane. A spokeswoman for Atlas Air says the company is also investigating the incident.
Knudson said the NTSB investigation is expected to take six to 12 months.
"I don't have any additional information to offer at this point," he said.
A Boeing Dreamlifter jumbo jet has taken flight after accidentally landing at Jabara Airport late Wednesday.
A team of pilots came in from New York to pilot the plane down the runway, which is normally too short to handle a plane of that size.
The Dreamlifter lifted off at around 1:15 pm. Not long after takeoff, the plane landed safely at its original destination, McConnell Air Force Base.
No one was hurt and the plane and airfield were not damaged by the landing or the takeoff.
Brad Christopher, airport authority, said preliminary evaluations show no damage to Jabara's runway. A couple of lights blew over during take off, but it took crews minutes to replace them.
Dave Dewhirst runs an aircraft charter leasing company based out of Jabara. He said the runway is back to business as usual.
Christopher said it took the plane about 4,500 feet of Jabara's 6,100 foot runway to take off.
Bonnie Rodney, Atlas Air, said, "We are currently providing our full assistance and cooperation to the regulatory authorities who are investigating the landing and do not have any additional comment at this time."
Statement from Boeing on the Jabara incident:
A Dreamlifter bound for McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita landed inadvertently but safely yesterday evening at nearby Colonel James Jabara Airport instead. There were no injuries or damage to the airplane.
The airplane can take off from that runway and is in position to depart later today. From there, the plane will then land at McConnell Air Force base and unload, as planned.
Boeing contracts with Atlas Air to fly the airplane. We are working with Atlas Air to determine the circumstances.
Doug Alder - Media Relations - Boeing Commercial Airplanes
A Boeing Dreamlifter, scheduled to land at McConnell Air Force Base, instead landed at Jabara Airport late Wednesday night.
The City of Wichita tweeted early Thursday morning no one was hurt and no property was damaged.
Our photographer is at 21st and Webb where a tug has broken down. The tug is supposed to turn the Dreamlifter around. Emergency dispatchers told us Boeing hopes to fly the plane out of Jabara. Boeing has not confirmed the details.
Audio from LiveATC.net says McConnell AFB gave the plane clearance to land, but the pilot landed at Jabara Airport. Jabara is 9 miles north of McConnell. You can hear the Dreamlifter pilots talking to the McConnell's tower controller saying, "Ahh, yes sire, we just landed at the other airport." That was at 9:20 p.m. (CST) Wednesday.
ATC recording shows the pilots thought they were at Beech Field, not McConnell. Coordinates show they actually landed at Jabara.
Flight Aware reports Atlas Air Dreamlifter pilots have flown to McConnell at least 26 times since August 23, 2010.
The Dreamlifter is a 747 with a cargo hold custom enlarged to carry large parts for the 787 Dreamliner. It is 65,000 cubic feet. Boeing says Dreamlifter's cargo hold is the largest in the world, by volume.
A Dreamlifter is supposed to need a runway 9,199 feet long to take off at maximum takeoff weight, and 7,000 feet to land at maximum landing weight. The runway length at Jabara is 6,101 feet.
Atlas Air Flight 4241 was arriving from JFK Airport in New York. The FAA says it investigates "any deviation" and is investigating this incident, "which is standard procedure".
Boeing released the following statement:
"A Dreamlifter bound for McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita safely landed this evening at nearby Col. James Jabara Airport instead. We are working to determine next steps and will have additional information in the morning."

Andy Murray's hunt for a maiden Australian Open title reached the quarter-finals on Monday, but only after a significant stumble against lucky loser Stephane Robert.
For the fourth time in the past eight days in Melbourne, Murray appeared on course to avoid the concession of a single set as he had four match points to clinch a routine victory.
However, a drop in standard from the Brit allowed Robert to put a blemish on his record, and an angry Murray found himself smashing his racket before he finally saw off his French rival 6-1, 6-2, 6-7(6) 6-2.
The Times' Neil Harman was not impressed:
Four match points gone by. Racket smashed. First set dropped by Murray in tournament. Silly boy— Neil Harman (@NeilHarmanTimes) January 20, 2014
The world No. 4 was wasteful both when serving for the match at 5-3 and in the third-set tiebreaker, during which he held a 6-4 lead before ceding his advantage. It soured the eventual win.
The real tests are still to come. Murray will now meet Roger Federer in the last eight, likely followed by a clash with top seed Rafael Nadal and then a showdown with Novak Djokovic if both men get that far.
Federer said of the forthcoming matchup:
#Federer "It's the same draw, just 1 round earlier. I'm just happy I didn't play 5 sets v Joe this year. I'm looking 4ward to playing Andy."— Australian Open (@AustralianOpen) January 20, 2014
Few players will have had an easier route to the quarters on paper, although Murray made hard work of his fourth-round opponent:
Andy Murray heading out to Hisense Arena again, to face Stephane Robert, unusually his 3rd opponent here outside the top 100.— Mike Dickson (@Mike_Dickson_DM) January 20, 2014
At 33 years old, lucky loser Stephane Robert (and Murray's opponent tonight) is the oldest man to reach #AusOpen R16 since Agassi in 2005.— ESPNTennis (@ESPNTennis) January 20, 2014
Robert had actually lost in qualifying, but after being granted a lucky loser spot upon a withdrawal, he became the first such case at the Australian Open to go on and reach the last 16. He told the BBC, via Giles Mole of the Telegraph:
It makes a story. I'm really happy to be this guy. I waited all day on Monday and came back on Tuesday thinking it would be the same.
I was in the player lounge and filling out some papers for the ATP and the referee called me to his office and told me I could play on Court Seven.
He said, 'Are you ready to play?' and I said, 'I'm ready'. I think it was like five minutes. I was unbelievably happy to get in.
Unfortunately for him, the match already looked beyond him after the opening 11 games. The first set was done and dusted inside 25 minutes, thanks to a sudden streak of points in the Brit's favour:
Having finished off his 2nd round game with 23 in a row, Murray racked up 11 successive points to win that 1st set— Sky Sports Tennis (@SkySportsTennis) January 20, 2014
Start running the ice bath....— Neil Harman (@NeilHarmanTimes) January 20, 2014
Murray was barely forced to break sweat in the second set either, aided by the drop in temperature around Melbourne. Robert's favoured forehand was thrown with abandon, frequently missing its target to hand his rival a series of breaks.
The first game of the second set was particularly alarming as Robert followed a double-fault with a couple of limp shots into the net. Harman summed up the Wimbledon champion's superiority:
Eleven games in Murray's match and he has won ten of them— Neil Harman (@NeilHarmanTimes) January 20, 2014
Robert, ranked 119 in the world, was never expected to rattle his more illustrious opponent, but still there had to be admiration for the clinical nature of Murray's assault in those opening two stanzas.
In set one, he won nine of 15 points on the Robert serve, per the tournament's official website. Murray also won over double the number of points picked up by his opponent and conceded only four unforced errors.
If there was a concern in the second, it will have been the accuracy of the first serve, which fell to 58 percent. However, Robert's first delivery was even worse, finding his target with only six of 25 attempts.
That statistic changed considerably in the third as Robert suddenly enjoyed his best spell of the match. Winning 12 of his opening 15 points on serve, the Frenchman stayed with Murray at 3-3.
Inevitably, his resolve had to subside, but only after the longest game of the match. Five times Murray failed to convert break point but, after a booming backhand winner down the line, the Brit found another to lead 4-3.
However, still Robert wasn't prepared to disappear from the spotlight, breaking back at 5-5 as Murray served for the match. A tiebreaker was needed, and Murray had to drag himself back from 0-3 and 2-4 down to lead 6-4.
Still he could not finish things off and, after a 70-minute set, Robert held firm to get himself right back into the contest at 2-1. Murray's unforced errors had been the problem, coughing up 27 in set three, contrasted to just 17 across the opening two sets.
His racket paid the price:
#Murray's racquet smash after losing the third set to #Robert - http://t.co/MXgjTW2it3 #ausopen— Australian Open (@AustralianOpen) January 20, 2014
Typically, order was restored as Murray closed out the match in the fourth, but with Federer next on his agenda, the world No. 4's Australian Open title bid truly begins now.

The speakers were Dr Gemma Harper, Chief Social Researcher at DEFRA, Sir Roland Jackson, CEO of the British Science Association, and Lord Krebs, Chair of the House of Lords Science & Technology Committee. The event was standing-room only and the discussion ranged widely over questions of how we make sure that government policy is evidence-based while not pretending that the experts have all the answers, how public deliberation can and should feed into policy and how the civil service will reconfigure its approach to these issues given planned cuts and reforms.

MINER -- A Miner man was arrested on felony drug charges after turning himself in Friday.
On Jan. 3, the Sikeston Department of Public Safety and the SEMO Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at 413 Powell St. in Miner as a result of an ongoing narcotics investigation which led authorities to believe that Caleb Davidson, 17, was illegally distributing controlled substances.
During the search, investigators from the SEMO Drug Task Force and Sikeston narcotics detectives assisted by the Miner Police Department located marijuana, Xanax prescription medication, drug paraphernalia and over $1,800. Investigators had reason to believe Davidson was illegally distributing the controlled substances.
Scott County Prosecuting Attorney Paul Boyd charged Davidson with possession of a controlled substance, a class D felony, and distribution of a controlled substance, a class B felony.
Davidson posted a bond of $50,000 and was released

I also had to fight Warrantech, on an auto policy, but that was a dispute as to whether the garage did the right thing; they never questioned the policy's existence. I solved that by speaking to the corporate executive offices and getting a CEO staffer to intervene.
If all else fails, contact the state agency overseeing insurers. I believe Warrantech falls under such jurisdiction. And if you have to go to small claims, do so in a timely manner and have all supporting paperwork and required repair estimates in hand.
They do expect 99.9% of victims to go away. Be the 1% who doesn't.

The shutdown of the federal government likely will delay the completion of flood recovery projects in El Paso County until next spring, a county commissioner said on Thursday.
Commissioner Sallie Clark said the shutdown slowed the process to request and receive federal disaster funding to finish projects before winter weather arrives.
"The problem with that is the $10 million in initial disaster funds have to be used by the end of January," she said. "We're going to ask for an exemption and be able to use that money through next spring."
Clark also said the initial funding -- intended to address Waldo Canyon Fire recovery more than recent but related flood damage -- isn't enough to meet the various needs.
"We're probably looking at needing at least another $10 million," she said. "What's hard is to get that, we have to come up with a local match of 20 percent. We'll have to seek grants or private donations to help."
Clark said she's concerned that the funding requests don't include addressing needs of the U.S. Forest Service to keep flooding from affecting Ute Pass, Manitou Springs and west Colorado Springs.
A regional recovery group meets Monday, said Clark, to determine exactly how much local money is needed. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may be involved in several projects, she said.

The tips below describe some of the techniques you can use within Kentico to make your pages more accessible to all users. Visit UW Seattle's accessibility page for more information on topics like:
Below are some Kentico specific instructions for publishers and editors at UW Bothell on how to make your webpages more accessible.
Any image that denotes information requires an alternative description (alt tag) for non-visual devices. If an image is purely decorative and serves no content purpose it can have an empty alt tag.
When inserting an image in Kentico, note that the Image/Edit dialog provides a field for the alt tag.
The text should describe the image or contain the actual text if there is text in the image. Note that if you insert an image through the Quickly Insert Image option it will automatically put the file name into the alt text field. This should be removed and replaced with readable text.
When selecting heading levels, ensure that they are in outline order. This will help the semantic structure of your page and assist those using non-visual devices. For example, a Heading 4 should only be a sub heading under Heading 3, not Heading 2.
The title of the page is considered Heading 1 so the heading options are Heading 2- Heading 5 which is in order of largest heading to smallest. Typically pages only have one Heading 2, best practice is no more than two.
For a data table to be accessible, column and row headings need to be clearly marked and a caption added if there is not already a clearly related content header. To do this in Kentico use the following steps:
Click on the table tool. In the Table Properties dialog select the Headers drop down. There are three options to create headers in the first row, the first column or both. Select the option that fits your data best.
You will know that they are correctly marked as headers by the styling. For example, "Both" was selected so this table has both row headers (light gray background) and column headers (dark gray background.)
(View of table in Edit mode)
If there is not already a descriptive header that introduces the data table, add a caption. The caption will appear before the table.
(View of table in Preview mode)
The optional summary field is for any details that may provide additional context of the table to a user of a non-visual device.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Uhaul James Bay Car and Truck Rental refused to speak with us. We got ahold of a Diane Commandant in Brampton Ontario and told her not to charge our credit card as it would be Fraud we never signed a thing. She told me she would not charge it. James Bay Car and Truck Rental from Cochrane Ontario even told the officer they would not charge the card. (They said we went over on gas and we had pictures to prove it) We told Diane we would get her the pictures not to charge our card as I never signed anything and it was my card and I had the proof the gas was where it was suppose to be. They charged our US credit Card, as well as we got nailed an International Fee. I told Diane in Email with her sending receipts for the read email that I wanted $100 US funds for the stress they caused as well as the fee's they charged all in US Funds. They sent over the fee but not the international fee or the stress and anxiety money I requested all in US Funds. They told us they are not paying anymore but yet I still am not refunded the whole amount or the money I wanted for a Charge they had no rights to do. I was not on the contract what so ever. I'm very disappointed with this company and I will never move with Uhaul again and I don't recommand James Bay Car and Truck Rental.
EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

AAP, Congress Trying to Checkmate BJP in Delhi: Naqvi
By PTI - RAMPUR
Published: 11th December 2013 07:41 PM
Last Updated: 11th December 2013 07:41 PM
BJP today claimed that Congress by reportedly contemplating to join hands with the Aam Aadmi Party was planning to checkmate his party.
BJP national General Secretary Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi made the claim that Congress General Secretary Shakeel Ahmad's statement that Congress MLAs can consider supporting AAP in forming a government in Delhi.
Both the parties-- AAP and Congress-- are worried about BJP's prospects in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, Naqvi said, terming the AAP a "by-product" of Congress.
He congratulated Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar, Congress senior leader Mani Shankar Aiyar and others for their views after the Assembly elections.

A transfer from the University of Arizona and a two-time all-city guard out of Chicago have been added to the roster for the upcoming 2010-11 men's basketball season according to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi head coach Perry Clark.
"I think that we are very fortunate to bring in a pair of players that are the caliber of player that these two are," said Clark. "It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of my staff that we were able to find these two players."
Garland Judkins, a 6-3 guard, comes to the Islanders from the University of Arizona after two seasons. After playing in 18 games with four starts as a freshman, Judkins, who will be a junior, appeared in six games before electing to transfer closer to home for personal reasons last January. In the 24 games he played with the Wildcats, Judkins had a career-high 12 points against Mississippi Valley State. He averaged 2.4 points a game as a freshman.
Judkins prepped at Christian Life Center Academy in Humble where he helped the team to a 38-6 record as a senior. He was a McDonald's All-American nominee entering his senior season.
"Whenever you have the ability to bring in a player that has been coached by someone like Lute Olsen you have to feel very fortunate," said Clark. "Garland adds maturity and mental toughness. Physically, he adds speed, quickness and ball-handling to the backcourt."
Hollis Hill - one of the top scorers in the Chicago Public League - also joins the Islanders this fall. Hill averaged 20.2 points a game as a senior for the Chicago Vocational School to go with five rebounds and four assists. He averaged just under 20 points a game as a junior and 16 as a sophomore. The Cavaliers won 64 games in Hill's three seasons. Hill graduated as the second-leading scorer in Chicago Vocational history with 1,604 points trailing only Juwan Howard.
A three-time all-conference choice in the Red-South Conference, Hill was second-team all-city in 2009 and 2010, and was named to the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association All-State team his final two seasons. He was a third-team selection in '09 and honorable mention as a senior. He participated in the Chicago Public League's North vs. South All-Star game and represented the city team in the Nike Foundation for Student-Athletes City vs. Suburban All-Star Game. Hill was named MVP of the latter with a 22-point, 7-assist performance.
"Hollis comes from a program with a storied history and is the second-leading scorer in the program's history," explained Clark. "More importantly, he comes here with a reputation as a hard-nosed competitor. He adds ball-handling skills, outside shooting and perimeter defense."
The duo joins incoming Islanders Chris Mast, Jaamon Echols, Ted Wang and Darren Warren.

Talk:Media Fandom
this page needs love! I feel like I've read material elsewhere on the wiki that could be copied here, but I'm not sure. A few things missing from this page:
- as I understand it, the media designation was originally intended to differentiate it from literary science fiction fandom. has there been any discussion about this that we could link to?
- the term itself is pretty broad, but the community of self-identifying media fans is pretty specific--fans who call themselves media fans are only a subset of the fans in fandoms designated as "media fandoms." YMMV, IMHO, etc.
- I see the term "western media fandom" used instead of Media Fandom a lot more now, possibly because I started reading ffa and arguments about anime fans' marginalization in the OTW. perhaps some meta/discussion points on this could be added.
- boundaries between media fandom and other fandoms before the internet vs. after the internet. we have a page for Fandom and the Internet, but it's more focused on tools.
- aja just posted this critique. it would be good to add multiple perspectives.
--æþel 03:48, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Relevant for context: Multimedia: History of the Term, MediaWest*Con. See also Talk:Multifandom and Talk:Multimedia. --Doro 20:11, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
a useful quote from the ffa thread talking about aja's post:I also really wish that everyone who is complaining about Media Fandom self-identifying that way would understand that it was a derogatory label slapped on the group by old-school SF fandom, which the TV show and movie fans then claimed as their own basically as an act of defiance (this was back when non-book fans were outnumbered, mostly new and so not in positions of power within existing fandom circles, and without the independent infrastructure that exists today). [1] Of course, in the same thread, they talk about how we cite them a lot, and then they cite us, so maybe this is getting a bit too recursive to be reliable. I swear I didn't look at the ffa thread before posting here yesterday.--æþel 01:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- conversation in franzeska's journal--æþel 15:53, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
historical origins
right now discussion of the historical origins of media fandom is spread across several pages, and it would be good to consolidate, or at least split it in a way that makes sense. I think we should put as much as possible on the History of Media Fandom page and just link/summarize on the other pages, except maybe all the detailed quotes on the Star Trek page. I can get back to this later, but it would be awesome if someone was inspired to organize this. I think it would also help us figure out how to organize if there were more content on the history AFTER the sf/media split.

The Color Purple
by Alice Walker
The Color Purple Letter Sixty-One Summary
- Celie gets excited knowing that Nettie is alive. She still hopes to run away with her sister and her two children.
- Celie feels shame when she thinks of her children. She worries that they might not be smart as a result of incest.
- Nettie's next letter:
- When they arrive at their destination, an African named Joseph greets them in pidgin English and helps them put their cargo on dugout canoes to go ashore.
- Nettie marvels over the African's teeth, which are apparently strong and very white.
- Joseph hires men to lead Nettie and the Reverend's family to Olinka. It's a four-day march through the jungle.
- She described the Olinka village. The villagers love meat, especially barbecue.
- Nettie says the villagers are astounded to have black missionaries.
- In the village, the people want to know if the children, Olivia and Adam, belong to Corrine or Nettie. They say the children look like Nettie.
- The villagers give them a meal, which they eat with their fingers.
- During the whole welcome session, Joseph translates. He tells Nettie and the Reverend's family that the people believe that they have always lived in this exact spot, growing cassava, groundnuts, yam, cotton, and millet.
- The villagers tell about a chief they once had who wanted everyone to produce surplus for trading with the white men.
- The bad chief bought up most of the village land and was very greedy.
- Then a storm came and destroyed the village roofs, all made of roofleaf. Because the chief was so greedy and made everyone plant so many crops, there was no more roofleaf growing, so the buildings couldn't be repaired.
- The villagers suffered against the weather for months and months. Eventually, they found some more roofleaf, but it took five years for the plants to be plentiful again.
- Now the villagers celebrate and worship the roofleaf.
- Nettie says that roofleaf may not be Jesus Christ, but something that provides shelter is, in its own way, God.

E'Twaun Moore is considerably more similar to Tim Duncan than most combo guards who played 331 minutes during their entire rookie seasons. Moore isn't likely to one day sprout 10 more inches and become a Hall of Fame center, and he almost certainly won't be the centerpiece of a team that wins four titles. But like Duncan, he plays with the emotion of a fisherman on a calm, fish-less morning and refuses to change his demeanor for anyone or anything.
Watch Moore play basketball, even when he's not playing well, and you get the sense that he feels like he belongs. Not just on the team or on the court, but with the ball in his hands, taking advantage of his opportunities. If he turns it over one possession, he's just as likely to handle the ball on the next. If he misses a shot, he'll hoist up the next one like he just drilled seven in a row. Confidence and poise are his greatest traits. He is the 75-year old driving 50 MPH in the slow lane as everyone beeps from behind him. He moves at his own pace and dances to his own pianist, whether he shares a court with Kris Joseph and Fab Melo or Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
Moore has a habit of getting where he needs to go. He has never forced scouts to furiously express their content with his athleticism, but he often meanders his way into the paint, almost like a miniature, considerably less-talented version of Paul Pierce, as defenders try to chase him, probably wondering to themselves, "Why can't I stay in front of this dude?" Moore hasn't dominated the Boston Celtics' first two summer league games, but he has controlled them. He's not a natural point guard, but he has a knack for dictating tempo. His own stoic poise seems contagious and the Summer Celtics simply look more organized when he plays. Plus/minus stats aren't always perfect with small sample sizes, but Moore's +25 rating is telling.
We could credit this to his status as a veteran, but Moore isn't much more of an NBA veteran than most of his summer league teammates. He only played 331 minutes last season. The Celtics had just three practices after the All-Star break. Even when the team did have practices, said assistant coach Ty Lue, "the vets wouldn't let him on the court." Moore's best bet to try learning point guard, a new position to him, was to watch Rajon Rondo and mirror what he did. But a second-round draft choice mirroring Rondo is like a high school art student trying to become Michelangelo. Very few people in the world can play point guard with the flair and pizzazz Rondo provides on a nightly basis. Moore has the traits to succeed as an NBA point guard, or at least as a combo-guard, but he won't do it in a similar fashion to Rondo.
It's a shame Sam Cassell doesn't coach on the Celtics' staff, because he had a similar style to Moore. Cassell wasn't going to sprint past anyone, so he used hesitation dribbles and changes of pace to create separation. He didn't thrive scoring at the rim, so he developed a deadly mid-range game to counteract his own athletic limitations. There were more talented players than Cassell. But Cassell fancied himself as a crunch-time extraordinaire and has dozens and dozens of crucial shots on his resume. You couldn't rattle Cassell. He shouted and never stopped chatting and pranced around with that "biggest testicles in the world" dance, and I can't see Moore ever doing that. But if the Purdue product wants to succeed in the NBA, to thrive and not just hang around at the end of a roster, he'll need to become more Cassell than Rondo.
As of now, the second season on Moore's contract isn't guaranteed. It will become so at the end of summer league, assuming the Celtics don't release him before then. As many others have noted before, the Celtics have a real opportunity for Moore this season. Ray Allen departed, Courtney Lee might be a pipe dream and the Celtics currently have an opening next to Jason Terry on their second unit. Moore doesn't just have the chance to earn a spot on the team. He could potentially earn minutes.
If he does, the road could become littered with angry drivers. Moore might be located in the fast lane, but he establishes his own speed limit and can never be influenced into breaking it, no matter how many people behind him honk, flash their bright lights or flip him the bird.

March 14, 2011 marked the 25th Anniversary of our very first day in business way back in 1986. In celebration, we decided to get a bit nostalgic and brew "Brew #1," the first beer ever made in the Triple Rock system. Reid & John originally brewed it on Christmas Day 1985, and for our Anniversay party we poured Brew #1 (a Pale Ale) all day for just $1.75 a pint (the original price). That night, to celebrate the hopped-up beers we like to brew these days, we also tapped a cask of "Brew #1" amped up with a healthy addition of hops inside the cask.
Over the years we have made a heck of a lot of memories in our good ole' brewpub, and any day of the week you are likely to find one of our regulars at the bar who remembers our opening day. Any one of them would tell you that while the Rock has certainly changed a lot over the years, the heart of our neighborhood brewpub has stayed constant. From the days when John and Reid suited up in full coveralls to brew one of their only three house craft brews (Red Rock, Black Rock, and Pinnacle Pale Ale) to today with Head Brewer Jeff Kimpe or Assistant Brewer George Kumparak crafting one of an arsenal of recipes we've compiled, the goal has always been to simply make incredible beer and serve it up fresh in a comfortable, classic American pub. It's what we do, and who we are, so come on down and have a beer with us.

The 430 people who participated in the program created over 800 handmade cards. Many people were also excited to learn that their mail would receive the museum's special pictorial cancellation after mailing them from our Stamp Store. This definitely encouraged some visitors to mail their heart-felt Valentine, even if the person they were sending it to was right there with them at the time.

Has Housing Hit Bottom on Your Street?
There's a growing consensus that the U.S. housing market, as measured by broad national indicators such as home sales, home construction and prices, has hit bottom. It may not get much better soon, but it probably won't get much worse, either.
Still, if you're thinking about buying or selling a home, national indicators may not matter. What's happening these days in New York may not be happening in Phoenix (for that matter, what's happening in Manhattan may be totally different from what's going on in Long Island).
Some very handy interactive charts from Zillow, the real-estate data firm, help drive home this point: the housing recovery is going to be local — and probably hyper-local, at that. As we wrote last month:
While the media are often pressed to generalize about the national market, or to highlight cities that, on the whole, are rising or falling, most real-estate agents will remind buyers that broad housing indexes may not hold much water when it comes to pricing their homes.
Zillow provided data that looks at the share of ZIP Codes within a given market where values are rising or falling. With demand clearly stronger than one year ago, the areas that are doing best are those neighborhoods that have "always had a premium associated with them," says Stan Humphries, Zillow's chief economist.
There are exceptions to the micro-recovery thesis. Denver and Phoenix are experiencing price increases in almost every ZIP code. Many parts of the Atlanta metro have seen big price drops over the past three months.
Generally speaking, home prices are rising again in more markets because demand is up strongly from one and two years ago, while the number of homes for sale is down sharply.
Moreover, the share of homes being sold out of foreclosure is down significantly in many markets. That doesn't mean foreclosures are history. What it does mean is that foreclosures are accounting for a smaller share of all sales. When the "distressed" share of sales drops, prices can rise.
Flip through the charts to see what activity looks like in some of the nation's largest cities. Remember that prices can be influenced by the mix of what's selling. These charts show the change in home values, as calculated by Zillow, over a three-month period ending in May.

Campus Hate Crimes
Continuing coverage and public comment.
November 17, 2003 12:41 PM
Earlier this semester, a series of incidents in and around SF State shocked and angered the campus community. The confusing circumstances surrounding the events caused even further complications.
Timeline of Events
Sept. 8 - A student living in Mary Park Hall, a campus dormitory, discovers a marked-up watermelon outside their door. Despite follow-up investigations indicating that the situation is not racially motivated, the racist connotations associated with watermelons lead it to be viewed as a hate crime.
Sept. 15 - A week later, the words "BLACK BITCHES" are found on the front door of student Allison Jackson's apartment in the Village, the apartment complex next to SF State.
Sept. 16 - The next day, the word "NIGG" is found written on the wall outside of an apartment in Mary Park Hall and on a note slipped under student Leah Miller's door.
Sept. 19 - Handwriting analysis reveals that Allison Jackson is a suspect in the Village incident.
Sept. 24 - Jackson admits to writing the comments on her door in an attempt to be moved out of her apartment.
Oct. 2 - The Afrikan Residents Association holds a news conference about the slow progress of the watermelon incident.
Oct. 8 - Miller admits to writing both the comments on the wall and in the note to to bring more attention to the recent events.
Oct. 15 - University Police, the district attorney, and the university attorney decide not to file criminal charges against either Miller or Jackson.

This is Aminat's mother. I was very disturbed by your article which showed the picture of Aminat and Brandie with such a headline. Was it Aminat's fault that someone decided to write the word "NIGG"? why are you writers trying to cover up the real issue here, which is that Aminat is actually a victim, an innocent student that found a gross watermelon by her door, and yet she is degraded by having her picture with such a demeaning headline? What was fraudulent about the watermelon issue? What was fraudulent about Brandie discovering the word NIGG on her door? Who are you guys trying to impress? I take a great offence in your unsupervised article that is getting my daughter's name involved in such rubbish. She is sent there to study, and I believe that she might be feeling some discomfort over an article that is alleging that she is a liar.

Once, a black Dallas county commissioner proclaimed "There's no such thing as black racism".
I think he was wrong, and this is a shameful example. To use the sufferings of one's own people for such trivial gain, shows not just epic misunderstanding of their past, but severe ignorance toward the continued efforts of the present.
America has made tremendous strides toward equality, it shouldn't be marginalized through personal gain, despite the color of your skin.

November 17, 2003 2:23 PM
I seriously wonder if these girls realize the egative impact they've had. Not just for their fellow students whose character they defamed, or the way the community will view them after they blatantly and criminally deceived their peers, the police, and the university... but for the black community on campus as a whole. Incidents like this will only decrease the amount of attention real situations are given. With three incidents of students crying wolf within the span of a month, how seriously will the university take the next student who files a complaint? The official line, of course, is that all such situations will be addressed in a fair and unbiased matter... but even the university staff, even the police are human. They remember being lied to just as much as any of us.
Personally, I find the fact that charges are not being pressed fairly rediculous. Academic discipline, fines, even jail time were the possible price the accused students would have paid for someone else's lies - why are the liars not being held responsible for their actions? Why is everyone suddenly so tight-lipped about the situation? How is it that someone can fabricate such a scandal and get away with it?
I think Xpress has more digging to do. What's really going on here?
Jenny Joseph said
November 17, 2003 2:24 PM
I have to admit that I am appalled by the carelessness and irresponsibility of her actions. Letting someone coerce you into being a liar is not a responsible individual.
A lot of my classes had discussions about this incident. Jesse Jackson and Brotha Black spoke about this incident. The whole campus community felt the effects of this incident and at times even I lashed out to my fellow classmates of how blind our campus is to race as an issue at our school.
And now I feel betrayed by someone I didn't even know but defended.
However! This action of an individual has no bearing on the proposed progress of this summit. This should not discount the importance of the discussion of race at our school.

Basically if you want to be treated like a child or a herd of sheep feel free to move here. Otherwise living here is an absolute pain. On the outside the dorm complex looks sleek and modern and the people who run it are cheerful and smiling but underneath the surface things are not what they seem.
First of all they have these imbeciles called "Community Advisors" that say they want to encourage a harmonious living environment amongst the students who live there. But if you ask me they are no more than glorified babysitters who get to live there for free. They seldom have the time to resolve the conflicts that it is their job to attend to and when they do it´s a half-assed job at that. Also if you are new to the city and want that sense of "community" don´t hang out with these "Community Advisors". Many of them are NOT from San Francisco so they won´t have a clue about real life living in the city. I recommend finding places around Downtown SOMA or Cole Valley or many of the nicer more heritage rich neighborhoods around SF for that sense of community. You surely won´t find that around these dorms located out in the boonies of SF.
Second of all it is a joke to live here. It is soo far removed from living in the real world where you get to check out the room you want to rent and meet your roommates as well. Here, they won´t let you look at your room or choose your roommates. Even in the application where you write in the name of someone you want to live with, they seldom honour your requests.
Let me tell you that it is far better to find apartments away from SF State where:
So if you can avoid living here I high advise you find places away from the immaturity of dorm living.
The Village at Centennial Square is highly overrated and over-priced.
Overall recommended: No

The pseudo-conservative movement has been in a game of lucifite trickery for the past two decades. One of their great tricks is to "prove" that there is no racism, no racial harassment and this is a "colorblind" society.
Well, Black nationalists and Black separatists have a solution: Get out of the way and let Blacks have their independence and the right to be free of those who perpetrate and perpetuate racism.
Black people know what is behind racism, its called the "inferiority complex," it is the same mentality that will remain in America when Blacks create an all-Black nation, totall free of all settlers and their descendants.
Whites will continue to be 'racist" they will declare the Irish and Polish a separate "race" AS WAS AND IS DONE IN EUROPE AND ENGLAND TODAY AND FOR THE PAST 800 YEARS...and whites will go at each other.
Perhaps the fact that brown-eyed whites are superior and smarter than blue eyed whites, or German-decent whites feel more inferior than Slavs, or French are better at cooking than English WILL TURN AMERICA INTO A CESSPOOL OF ETHNIC HATRED SIMILAR TO WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN YUGOSLAVIA TODAY, OR AT SOCCER MATCHES DURING THE SUMMER.
Blacks have to realize that the only way to freedom and survival is INDEPENDENCE, BLACK NATIONALISM AND BLACK NATIONHOOD.
The renewed racism since the mid eighties is the doings of the FORMER "LIBERAL" flower-power, "free sexers," who distroyed the moral fibre of America with their pornographic agenda. These same people are so-called "conservatives," who have no loyalty to America but only to the almighty dollar, to a homeland in the Middle East, to dividing America by stirring the shizzle of racist and oppressive mentality and keeping the minds of the People off the real issues, while billions of their tax dollars are going to waste, millions of jobs are being out-sourced and people are falling into the lower levels of the economy.
Isn't it funny that some of the most "conservative" mouthpieces are people with connections to the Middle East and India, OR FORMER HIPPIES, FREESEXERS, SOUTHERN RACISTS WHO WERE FORMER DEMOCRATS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO LOYALTY TO AMERICA?
Racism is back thanks to the roosh limblows, con clannities, squeal borks, wawa stinkrums, o'really? San Diego Headcrock and all these "talkshow" propagandists whose techniques are reminiscent of that of the WWII German propaganda machine.
These people have used the media to put our generation in a very dangerous position. They have lied and tricked and schemed. They have stirred old barbarian, uncivilized racist behavior in order to keep us off track while using our boys as protectors for their interests. TODAY, THEY ARE ON EVERY CAMPUS SPREADING RACISM AND RACIST TRICKERY IN ORDER TO FIND AN EXCUSE TO POINT FINGERS AT BLACKS AND OTHER REAL AMERICANS.
Here is the RACIST TRICKERY OF THE CONNING "CONSERVATIVES." Take the radiostations all over the US and who owns it. Listen to any radio station directed to the Black community and its filled with trash and trash music 24 hours a day. Radio stations directed at the "conservative" element is filled with racist innuendo, lies and pure hatred. YET, THE SAME PEOPLE OWN BOTH TYPES OF RADIO STATIONS, AND THEY POINT FINGERS AT BLACKS LISTENING TO CERTAIN TYPES OF MUSIC AS THE SCAPEGOAT.
This is some of the conservative racist trickery.
There are many (eg. the Black nationalist movement) who say that the solution to racism against Blacks in Black Nationalism, Black Nationism and separate independant Black region, where Blacks can thrive without hinderance. That nation is Washitaw Territories and it is the one million square miles illegally stolen by the French and other European settlers before and after 1805.

Within the subfields of political psychology and the study of gender, the introduction of new data collection efforts, methodologies, and theoretical approaches are transforming our understandings of these two fields and the places at which they intersect. In this article we present an overview of the research that was presented at a National Science Foundation (NSF) (#SES-1014854) funded conference "New Research on Gender in Political Psychology" at Rutgers University in March 2011. This scholarship represents the expanding questions and approaches that enhance our understanding of gender within political psychology. As a result, we suggest that further innovation is needed with regard to theory and methods to understand better how gender shapes the political attitudes and actions of individuals. Our discussion here covers the use of data, interdisciplinary methods, and intersectionality to study gender. We conclude with thoughts about the theoretical implications of this recent scholarship and the future of political science research on gender.

Exile Quotes in The Host
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I saw myself now at the bottom of a deep shaft or walled into a cramped tomb. (15.12)
When the humans capture Wanderer, they immediately put her into solitary confinement. The aliens have forced them into a hole underground, and by goodness the humans are going to do the same thing to Wanda!
Quote #2
We're fugitives, an endangered species. (16.56)
Living in a cave, the humans are having to live like they did in caveman days: afraid of predators. Except now it isn't mammoths and sabre-tooth tigers; it's aliens wearing their bodies. That's a lot scarier than a cuddly mammoth. At least you can eat the mammoth.

Mortgage Insurer Catches Heat On Refinancing
A group of Senate Democrats is criticizing the mortgage-insurance unit of American International Group Inc., accusing the company of putting up obstacles that make it harder for homeowners to refinance their home loans.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.), Sen. Robert Menendez (D., N.J.) and Sen. Herbert Kohl (D., Wis.) on Wednesday wrote to Kim Garland, chief executive of AIG's mortgage insurance subsidiary, United Guaranty Corp. They accused the company of being less willing to participate in the federal government's Home Affordable Refinance Program than other mortgage insurers.
Others in the industry "chose to do the right thing for their customers, taxpayers, and their own bottom line by voluntarily removing barriers to refinancing," the lawmakers wrote. "Unfortunately, your company has taken a different path."
Those insurers have waived their right to revoke coverage if they later find a defect in the loan. United Guaranty, however, has been more cautious, aiming to preserve their right to scour loan files for fraud and rescind coverage if necessary. When mortgage insurers revoke coverage, government-controlled mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can force the original lender to take back the loan.
The lawmakers called the company's policy "particularly troubling," given that AIG was the recipient of federal bailout money starting in 2008.
United Guaranty officials say they want to ensure that lenders aren't off the hook for bad loans. They have agreed to waive their right to rescind coverage for loans made before 2004, and loans that the mortgage insurer reviewed when they were originated.
The company's policy "in no way interferes with borrowers' ability to take advantage of HARP or other loan-modification programs," a company spokesman said.
The HARP program, initially rolled out in 2009, blocked borrowers from refinancing if they owed more than 125% of their home's value. The revamped program's rules, disclosed last October, removed that loan-to-value cap and made other changes to boost refinancing.
Obama administration officials have been pushing for another round of changes. In recent weeks, the administration also has been trying to drum up support for legislation by Boxer and Menendez that would seek to make it easier for homeowners to refinance.

From the Quagmire to Savior and...
The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
We're Used to Tracking Economic and...
KannaLife Sciences will team up with two drug discovery technology companies in a collaboration designed to develop new cannabinoid-based neuroprotectants. The value of the collaboration was not disclosed.
KannaLife will fund the collaboration with Advanced Neural Dynamics and IteraMed, aimed at drug discovery for a lab-validated phytochemical that has been found to be neuroprotective in cortical neuronal cultures exposed to toxic levels of glutamate or oxidative stress.
The founding science is based on the licensed technology of A.J. Hampson, Ph.D., a neuropharmacologist at the Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Regulation within NIH's National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH).
KannaLife holds an exclusive license with NIH's Office of Technology Transfer to commercialize U.S. Patent 6,630,507, "Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants," on October 7, 2003, awarded to Dr Hampson and two other investigators, Nobel laureate Julius Axelrod, Ph.D., (1912–2004) of NIMH, and Maurizio Grimaldi, M.D., Ph.D., leader of the Neuropharmacology/Neuroscience Laboratory at Southern research Institute and co-investigator for the NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke High-Throughput Drug Screening Facility for Neurodegenerative Disease.
The patent covers their discovery that cannabinoids have antioxidant properties unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism, making them useful in treating and protecting the body from a variety of oxidation-associated ischemic, age-related, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases. The researchers also found the cannabinoids were neuroprotectants, limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and HIV dementia.
News of the collaboration comes about a month after KannaLife won $1.5 million in Series A funding from two publicly traded companies focused on therapeutic applications for cannabis, Medical Marijuana and CannaVEST.
"The NIH-exclusive license in our opinion is a true industry game changer. Our investment in KannaLife helps further build our pipeline of patented cannabinoid-based medical products," Michelle Sides, chairman and COO of Medical Marijuana, said in a March 7 statement announcing the funding.
Advanced Neural Dynamics and IteraMed are located at the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Center, a 112,000 square-foot biotechnology incubator in Doylestown, PA.
