What sort of literature would a nation with a literacy rate of 100%, the highest per-capita publication of books and magazines in the world, and a population famous for its love of fiction and poetry produce? This month we find out as we showcase the work of writers from Iceland, the guest of honor at this year's Frankfurt Book Fair. Iceland's passionate literary culture has fostered a vibrant and diverse national literature, grounded in the sagas yet urgent as today's news. The work gathered here addresses ecological and financial turmoil, as parking lots replace forests, tradition is acknowledged only to be subverted, and both social and natural resources are endangered. But the news is not all grim, and the writers deliver it with sly wit and the Nordic flair for storytelling. Nordic Council Literature Prizewinner Gyrdir Eliasson discovers hell on earth, also known as Ikea. Þórarinn Eldjárn tells how a common language destroys a harmonious Babel. In work by two former Sugarcubes, Sjón finds Marie Curie in a portrait by Edvard Munch, and Bragi Olafsson's Christmas tale blends chamber music and malevolence. Andri Snær Magnason's young boy loses his grandfather and gains a sense of mortality. Gerður Kristný pens an ode to ice, snow, and national character, while Kristin Omarsdottir sets the table for some unusual guests. Olafur Gunnarsson channels Scheherazade in a classic tale with a twist. Sigurbjorg Þrastardottir visits a café with a life of its own. And Sindri Freysson realizes the real news never makes the paper. We thank Bókmenntasjóður/The Icelandic Literature Fund for their support.

Book Reviews
Juan Pablo Villalobos's "Down the Rabbit Hole"
"Down the Rabbit Hole" is told from the point of view not of a gangster, a cop or a prostitute, but that of a young child.
Meir Shalev's "My Russian Grandmother and her American Vacuum Cleaner"
Happily for psychological posterity and for us, Tonia Ben-Barak and her never-ending battle against grime have been commemorated by her grandson
The Slayer of Souls
She very much enjoyed being made love to by her husband in a bed that had belonged to another woman.

1. Baltimore Ravens (16.0)
Offense: RB Ray Rice is centerpiece of running game, but Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain are nice complements. WR Anquan Boldin gives second-year QB Joe Flacco a legit No. 1 target. Newcomers T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Donte Stallworth also join loaded-up receiving corps that include Derrick Mason and TE Todd Heap. Promising LT Michael Oher stars on solid offensive line. Grade: 4.5.
Defense: LB Ray Lewis remains the cornerstone of a dominant front seven that also features pass-rushing OLB Terrell Suggs and run-stuffing DT Haloti Ngata. Newly acquired CB Josh Wilson helps, but the secondary remains a big concern with FS Ed Reed (hip surgery) on PUP for first six weeks. Grade: 4.0.
Special teams: K Billy Cundiff and P Sam Koch had solid '09 seasons. Return specialist Chris Carr is steady. Grade: 3.5.
Coaching: John Harbaugh has guided the team with a steady hand. Grade: 4.0.
On the spot: FS Tom Zbikowski.Can he handle it as Reed's replacement?
Prediction: The Super Bowl isn't a far-fetched idea. Record: 10-6.
2. Cincinnati Bengals (16.0)
Offense: The passing game should be much improved with WR Terrell Owens, first-round TE Jermaine Gresham and rookie WR Jordan Shipley giving QB Carson Palmer more weapons besides Chad Ochocinco. But the focal point remains RB Cedric Benson, who averaged 96.2 yards per game (second in the NFL) in '09 behind a young, improving offensive line. Grade: 4.5.
Defense: CBs Johnathan Joseph and Leon Hall, maybe the NFL's best tandem, headline an aggressive unit that ranked fourth in the league last season. The front seven is loaded with unheralded but emerging talent. Grade: 4.5.
Special teams: The return game looks good, P Kevin Huber flashed as a rookie and Mike Nugent has a strong leg. Grade: 3.0.
Coaching: Marvin Lewis calls the shots, but lets his assistants do their job with limited interference. Grade: 4.0.
On the spot: Owens. At 36 years old, will he help the offense or hinder it?
Prediction: Will prove last season was no fluke. Record: 10-6.
3. Pittsburgh Steelers (15.5)
Offense: With QB Dennis Dixon starting while Ben Roethlisberger serves four-game suspension and Byron Leftwich recovers from a sprained knee, the Steelers will lean heavily on RB Rashard Mendenhall (1,108 yards in '09). Second-year speedster Mike Wallace is ready to emerge as No. 2 receiver opposite Hines Ward. Rookie C Maurkice Pouncey should help an offensive line that yields too many sacks. Grade: 4.0.
Defense: Blitz-happy LBs LaMarr Woodley, James Harrison, Lawrence Timmons and James Farrior accounted for 33.5 of team's 46 sacks in '09. The return of All-World SS Troy Polamalu and underrated DE Aaron Smith from injuries boosts a unit that was lost without them. Grade: 4.5.
Special teams: K Jeff Reed and P Dan Sepulveda are reliable, but coverage (allowed four kickoff return TDs in '09) and return game need work. Grade: 2.5.
Coaching: Mike Tomlin and staff usually make the right moves. Grade: 4.5.
On the spot: Dixon. Has to keep ship afloat until either Leftwich or Big Ben returns.
Prediction: Won't give up a playoff spot without a fight. Record: 9-7.
4. Cleveland Browns (12.5)
Offense: QB Jake Delhomme has something to prove after a miserable 2009 season in Carolina. But he inherits the NFL's worst offense, one that lacks playmakers outside of WR Josh Cribbs and RB Jerome Harrison. The O-line is OK, especially the left side where Pro Bowl T Joe Thomas resides. Grade: 2.0.
Defense: NT Shaun Rogers is the only member of front seven that opponents have to game plan for. The Browns found ways to get to the quarterback last season (40 sacks) and must do it again to protect a secondary that could start two rookies (CB Joe Haden and FS T.J. Ward). Grade: 2.5.
Special teams: Cribbs is second to none as a return specialist. He had four return TDs last season, three on kickoffs. K Phil Dawson, 35, is still going strong. Coverage is a strength. Grade: 5.0.
Coaching: Eric Mangini's hard-line approach got results late last season. Grade: 3.0.
Prediction: Division too tough to handle. Record: 4-12.

The palm-fringed coastline is lapped by the blue waters of the Atlantic, whilst inland the real Africa takes over in a blaze of colour, lush vegetation and exotic wildlife. This friendly country is teeming with vibrant markets and merchants trading against a backdrop of colonial architecture - a throw-back to the British occupation in the 18th and 19th-centuries. The Gambia is Africa's oldest English speaking country and offers visitors a truly warm welcome.
Please Note: You are advised to bring travellers' cheques or cash to The Gambia because only a few places accept credit cards. Bureaux de Change and local banks do not. There is an ATM in the tourist area of Senegambia and several other locations which accept VISA but not MASTERCARD.

Chinese New Year is China's most important holiday and a fascinating time to be in Shanghai. The history of the holiday, referred to as Spring Festival in China, dates back more than 2,000 years with traditions that continue on today.
The Holiday
Chinese New Year is celebrated on the first day of the first lunar month of the year, typically falling sometime during January or February. In 2015, the New Year will fall on February 19. While most of the activity centers around the New Year's Eve family reunion dinner and New Year's day, festivities continue on for 15 official "New Year" days.
Shanghai has a sizable population of individuals who've come from the countryside to find work, so the city empties out significantly during the CNY period as many people return to their hometowns to celebrate with family. On the eve of the Lunar New Year, families gather together to eat, drink and watch the CCTV New Years Gala on television. At midnight (and sometimes even earlier), long strands of firecrackers are lit outside of each house to chase away the evil spirits of the previous year and welcome in good luck for the rest of the year. Businesses will also light firecrackers during auspicious times throughout the week to wish for wealth and prosperity.
On New Year's Day, families bring offerings of food and drink to family shrines or local temples before paying visits to neighbors, friends and relatives.
Usually, Yu Garden will host a lantern festival and visitors will congregate at the fortune tree to make wishes for the New Year. There is also a huge fireworks spectacle on the Huangpu River, and crowds gather on the Bund for ooh's and ahh's. However, these events have unfortunately been cancelled due to the recent tragic December 31st New Year's Eve stampede.
Despite this, you can still visit the Jade Buddha Temple and Longhua Temple for traditional celebrations. There are plenty of other pop-up markets around town and at the courtyard of shopping malls selling festive knickknacks and discounted goods.
Food plays an integral part in the Chinese New Year celebrations, particularly on New Year's Eve when families gather together for a Reunion Dinner. In Shanghai, niangao (rice cakes), tangyuan (sweet glutinous rice balls), fish and babaofan (sticky rice with 'eight treasures' of toppings) all have auspicious connotations and are almost mandatory during celebratory meals.
Tips and Reminders
If you're in Shanghai for the Chinese New Year, remember that most restaurants and nearly all tourist attractions will be closed during the first few days of the holiday. Spending the holiday with a Chinese family is the best way to really experience the holiday, but if you can't swing that, plan to visit a few of Shanghai's temples and shrines. This is also a great time to walk around Shanghai, taking in both the historic and modern architecture. It may be the only time all year where you'll have the sidewalk to yourself.

Baylor QB Robert Griffin or AandM's Jerrod Johnson - Sherrington makes the call
Dallas Morning News columnist Kevin Sherrington answered an assortment of questions pertaining to the Cowboys, the Rangers, the Mavericks and college football on Thursday. Here are some highlights regarding Cowboys questions:
Which quarterback would you want for your team this season: Baylor's Robert Griffin or A&M's Jerrod Johnson? Good question. Two smart, talented QBs. Johnson really came on last year. He was unbelievable in the Texas game. Griffin was not playing well before he got hurt last season, but at least part of the blame goes to a lack of a running game. Based on his momentum from last season, and continuing questions about Griffin's knee until he finally takes the wraps off, I'd go with Johnson. But I wouldn't mind second choice, either.
Which conference will Texas and Texas A&M will be a part of in 2011? Big 12. Nothing's going to change that fast. But by 2014, I think the whole landscape will be different.
Does Texas Tech lose a step with the changes in the coaching staff or are the Red Raiders poised for a run at another Big 12 title? Nothing against the Pirate's crew, but this is a very good staff. Tommy Tuberville is an accomplished coach with serious credentials. They should be much better defensively. Now, will it take the offense a little while? I think that's a legitimate question. Fortunately for Tech, I don't see anyone running away with the South. Unless Garrett Gilbert plays lights out, I could see Texas, Oklahoma, Tech and even Texas A&M in the hunt.
Is Jerrod Johnson a possible first round draft pick? Possibly. He's got all the measurables. But I come down on the Pirate's side of this issue: the NFL has no idea what it's doing when it comes to QBs. They don't know how to draft them, and they don't know how to develop them.
With the Big 12 South as open as it's been, who do is most likely to take the crown? I believe I'm on record as saying Texas. I'll stick with that for now. But it should be very close. Or at least I hope so. I don't see the Big 12 competing for a national title this year. Short of that, I'd like to see a good conference race.

the bravest ************ a knight from Dark Souls. his story is tragic. he always tries to be a hero and save everybody, but usually fails, and ends up being rescued by your character, which makes him lose faith in himself, and slowly turns him hollow (feral and hostile). at one point in the game, he offers to sacrifice himself to some deadly creatures so that you may slip away unseen, but if you stay with him and fight, and kill all the creatures, you basically take his last bit of glory away from him, so he starts to hollow. it's a sad story indeed. toward the end of the game, you find out that his daughter has been looking for him, to try and save him and deliver to him the last words of his wife, but by the time she finds him, he is completely hollowed, and she has to kill him.
it's so ******* tearjerking.

As of Monday, firefighters had contained 25% of the fire, though it was expected to remain challenging until Thursday at least.
Bend resident Michael Kellogg, who runs EyeOnBend.com, shot this time-lapse footage from June 7-8 – when the fire was under 0% containment – of the wildfire raging through the forest over Bend.
It's eerie footage, particularly as the sky turns orange over the Bend skyline. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities have been reported so far. Tuesday, investigators said they believe the fire was human caused, according to Oregon news outlet KOIN 6.

At 50 cents per share, the payout will be in the neighborhood of $3.5 million, says CEO Tom Broughton. The dividend represents only a portion of the amount by which ServisFirst beat its own expectations for the year, Broughton says.
In assembling its projections at the start of the year, Broughton says the bank was intentionally conservative in its estimates for both loan losses and loan growth. Losses ended up being smaller than was budgeted, and loan growth turned out strong as well, up $500 million over the past year.
The bank has found lending opportunities in "a wide range" of industries in Alabama, Broughton says, including transportation, the mining industry, agribusiness in Dothan, and other "select opportunities" in Mobile.
Another factor making this year a good opportunity for a one-time dividend is uncertain tax rates, Broughton says. Most fiscal experts expect an increase in the capital gains rate in 2013, so there's an incentive to push any planned dividend payments through this year.
Aside from an uncertain tax climate, restricting this dividend to a one-time payment will give ServisFirst financial flexibility moving into 2013, Broughton says.
In October, ServisFirst Bancshares reported record earnings at its banking subsidiary for the eleventh consecutive quarter. During the first nine months of the year, ServisFirst generated $62.0 million in net interest earnings (up 30.0 percent from last year), and $25.9 million in after-tax net income (53.6 percent).

So other than Franklin, it seems it would be at least thursday before even an invest might be put out on something else. A couple of days. Isn't that what we said right after Emily got done with Mexico......
What is the navy web site?
I swear that area is between two waves. Go figure.....
So, when someone makes a statement using a phrase like "92L. Invest" what does each part of the statement mean? Thanks.
Phil, I believe that model run had the incorrect initialization
By the way, couldn't see the shuttle on the West coast of FL either.
Sorry, New here.....do the colors represent possible tracks?
The Wave to really watch is the Wave by CV, this one shows the most promise and will not be effective by the dust cloud.
BTW, I need a break from this season already.
i know right..and i havent even been in one and im sick of it.
gosh, the fact that the next storm will be Harvey scares me....H already!?!?
Just a curiosity:
I know that dust from the Sahara helps dampen storm development. Does volcanic dust also cause the same effect?
Could someone please take a look at http://www.goes.noaa.gov/HURRLOOPS/atwv.html near 70W, 23N and tell me what the dark round area could mean??? It currently seems to moving slowly northwards. Water vapor appears to be feeding into it or perhaps even streaking into it from virtually every direction. It also seems to getting smaller. Thanks!!!
that black thing u see it looks like dry air
What�s the longest a storm has maintained "storm" status..... Franklin is going on a week now..�
there's another disturbance showing in various model runs along the north central gulf coast that's probably just related to the 500mb weakness that is supposed to back up there over the weekend. eyeball there, too. whole mess of things that can go active later this week/weekend.
HF 1404z27july
Joe B. is getting excited about this in his Wed. video.Does not look like much to me.
i have a feeling that one of the three waves wil develope by the close of the weekend
Not to be snobby, but isn't it a bit alarmist to be thinking every single thing of cloud formations this year is going to be a Tropical System?
i have a feeling that one of the three waves wil develope by the close of the weekend
I think that is a good bet.But today I don't have to worry about any storms,and that is a good thing.Local tv here is saying the first wave should affect us here Sun or Mon,it what form?,That is the question.Anyone have any ideas about development on the first wave?
Atlantic Tropical Waves
92L Spaghetti plot
93L Spaghetti plot
It appears according to the Bastardi video that The Carolina region is at the top of the high risk list for the rest of the season. I wonder if that article that came out earlier in the year really meant"The Case Against Florida" actually having a landfalling major hurricane this year. That does not mean that hurricanes won't get close enough to disturb the weather, just not close enough to the peninsula to aggravate Central Florida.
According to Accuweather, because the Atlantic is so much warmer than usual, they are predicting that during the rest of the hurricane season, more tropical development will hit the east coast of Florida and the U.S rather than venture through the Gulf. What do you mets think?
yea, i kinda feel bad for florida..well, i can't control the weather, i mean if you guys can wave your wands n send em away up here im sure well be happy to take a bullet..but nothing bad only cat 1 or 2
I don't see a threat to Florida in the near future.
According to this: http://www.broward.org/disaster/epi00304.pdf if you are West of US 1 you're OK.
I don't see a threat to Florida in the near future.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree here. If by immediate you mean within 3-4 days, no... I don't see a threat either, however if by immediate you mean within the next week-week and a half, with three waves out there, Florida definitely has an immediate threat. The Atlantic is not exactly quiet now Michael...
I feel that Florida is unlikely to be hit before mid August, that being said, looking long range Mid Aug. to end of Sept.......The South East Coast of Florida could be under the gun for a Cat 3 or 4.
I am no MET, in fact i am a total novice about hurricanes, BUT, if i lived in/on Long Island, C.T, R.I, or Mass, i wouldn't be worried about hurricanes. Since Gloria, how many storms have you had hit there? I mean really, how many direct hits has LI, NYC, or any other New England city taken in the last 20 years? I am sorry if i am sounding like this, but i live in Florida which means pretty much every wave that comes off the African coast is of major concern to me and my family. I wish i lived on LI or any where in the northeast. You don't know how lucky you are. So please........perhaps you could tone it down a notch or two. In my defense, i and others on this site have a heck of a lot more to worry about as far as hurricanes are concerned. Just sit back and relax, maybe go out to Montauk Point and take a swim in that warmer water. Sorry for the attitude, but this is almost like a billionaire complaining that he didn't hit the lottery. If this post is to be removed, so be it and i understand, but i just had to say something. Do others on here feel like this guy from LI is over reacting a little?
BTW - Gloria's eye passed right over my house in Winsted, Connecticut. I was 12 years old. The storm blew down an apple tree in our yard and we never lost power.
Eastern North Texas,
What would be there that would be strong enough to make that happen that abruptly?
I attached the most recent IR of the Eastern Atlantic what are your thoughts on these waves. I noticed in 92L a large flare up on the northern end of the waver that seems to be pretty persistent. 93L is does not have as much convection but, seems to be holding together pretty well. Lastly the wave behind 93L is still holdng together also. What do we have to look out for tomorrow and what has to happen for any of these waves to develope? Thanks....
look at that..dont you think thats a little to far north..and they have it intensifying in kts..what are peoples inputs on this
info apreciated
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I always took "XTRP" in the spaghetti models to be short hand for "extrapolate", as in they're drawing a straight line from where the storm is to what direction it's moving at last recon.
Cany anyone give the best links to the available models?
We are also referred to as southeast Texas.
Also, question, don't these storms serve the purpose of moving heat from the tropics?
Is it just me or is the convection of 92L Flaring up? Also is 93L lossing convection and from what it looks we might have 94L by the end of friday.
We are also referred to as southeast Texas.
Also, question, don't these storms serve the purpose of moving heat from the tropics?
Yes, they help maintain the global heat balance.

When the temperature goes up, you need a good air conditioning system for your home in Atlanta. However, energy prices always seem to be going up and homeowners are always looking for ways to reduce energy usage. At South Air Heating & Cooling we provide complete air conditioning services in Atlanta. We all want to be comfortable in our homes but we want our AC units to work as efficiently as possible. At South Air Heating & Cooling, we thought it would help if we put together some great ways that you can potentially reduce the amount of energy that you use to cool your home.
Duct Repair and Duct Sealing
When you turn on your air conditioning system all that cool air moves through your home using the ductwork in your home. Over time, your ducts can start to form cracks from old age, insects or some other reason. Those holes can allow that cool air to leak outside which is obviously wasteful. Getting your ducts sealed or repaired by a professional contractor can seal up those holes and cracks which will allow you to keep more of that cool air inside your home.
Regular Air Conditioning Maintenance in Atlanta
Perhaps the best way to improve the efficiency of your air conditioning system is to schedule annual maintenance with a professional contractor. With time your air conditioning system can develop small problems or issues that could make it work harder. Those issues can reduce the efficiency of your air conditioning system. During regular maintenance visits your AC technician will thoroughly inspect and clean every component of your AC system. They will be able to find those small problems and fix them so that your air conditioning system can work efficiently.
Ductless Mini Split System
If you're interested in reducing the energy that you use to cool your homes, replacing your old AC system with a ductless mini split system is a great option. If your air conditioning system is old and needs repairs often, replacing it with a new one is a great way to improve the efficiency in your home.
If you any air conditioning maintenance or repairs in Atlanta, then call the experts at South Air.

The Boys and Girls Club of Morristown, Inc., originally the Boys Club of Morristown, was chartered in 1958 and had its beginning in an old two story structure. Still later the club site was moved to another, even smaller structure. During those early years, memberships exceed 200.
In 1968, the Board of Directors launched a Building Fund Campaign, and in five short months a goal was reached, construction began and in February 1969 a new facility was dedicated. Such a total community effort had never been witness before in the City of Morristown. Membership in the new facility has averaged 1,000 to 2,000 per year.
On January 21, 1992, the Boys Club of Morristown, aligning with the National Movement and determining to provide and expand need service to included a widely under-served group of young people, changed the corporate name to the Boys and Girls Club of Morristown, Inc.

Michael Fuchs: Solar Subsidy 'Insanity' Will Cost Germans
Der Spiegel, Der Spiegel
SPIEGEL: The Christian Democrats (CDU), their Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) and their business-friendly junior coalition partners the Free Democrats (FDP) had actually intended to drastically reduce subsidies for solar electricity. But a new record was reached in the construction of solar energy systems in December. What went wrong?
Fuchs: Solar energy systems are still a risk-free business at the expense of electricity customers. The prices of solar cells are dropping much faster than we have been able to reduce subsidies so far. That's a huge mistake....

FLINT, MI -- Three men have been convicted for their roles in the 2010 robbery and killing of a security guard outside of River Village Apartments, near downtown Flint.
Jurors convicted Floyd Perkins, 22, and Kenya Hyatt, 21, of first-degree felony murder in the August 2010 killing of John "Andy" Mick. The two men were also convicted of armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and felony firearms.
Jury selection began June 17 in the case.
"I'm glad it is finally over," said Mick's wife, Sandie Mick. "Justice is served for the two men."
A third man, 33-year-old Aaron Williams, was found guilty Tuesday, July 1, of armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, felony firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was also charged with felony murder, but jurors were unable to return a verdict on that count.
Williams' attorney, Glenn Cotton, said that his client provided the gun that was used in the robbery and killing.
"He was remorseful Mr. Mick lost his life," Cotton said of his client.
Authorities argued Mick was finishing his shift around 4 a.m. Aug. 14, 2010, at Riverview Village apartments when Perkins and Hyatt approached him and tried to steal his gun. A struggle ensued and Mick was shot to death.
"I didn't see any need why they needed to play God with somebody else's life," Sandie Mick said.
Mick said that she plans to speak during the mens' July 28 sentencing hearings.
"I'm gratified for the victim's family that's undergone a terrible ordeal," Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said.
First-degree felony murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
However, Genesee Circuit Judge Judith Fullerton may be required to hold a specialized sentencing hearing for Hyatt, who was 17 at the time of the killing.
A 2012 Supreme Court ruling deemed it was unconstitutional for juveniles to face a mandatory life sentence without parole.
Gov. Rick Snyder, in light of the Supreme Court decision, signed a law in March that gave judges the discretion to sentence teen killers to life in prison or 25 to more than 60 years in prison.
Leyton said his office has not yet filed its intention to seek a sentence of life without parole.
Perkins' attorney Kevin Rush and Hyatt's attorney Jeffrey Skinner could not be reached for comment on the verdicts.
The case was tried by Genesee County Assistant Prosecutor Karen Hanson.

MOBILE, Alabama – Impassioned readers have weighed in with particular zeal during the past two weeks on everything from healthcare outsourcing and angel investing to regional competition for industry and threatened dock worker strikes. Here's a quick glance at some of the comments al.com readers offered on stories shared during the weeks ending Dec. 21 and Dec. 28.
In reporting ST Aerospace's $73.5 million capital injection into its new Singapore-based rotables division, I mentioned the aggressive play that's been made in recent months to lure Mobile's ST Aerospace operations at Brookley Aeroplex to Pensacola. While the majority of feedback from the story focused on congratulating the parent company for its continued growth and hopes a little of the love will trickle down to Mobile, reader taberm took a particularly hard shot at Pensacola in the process.
"Pensacola should get off its lazy behind and stop trying to snake (its) neighbors businesses and try to bring in NEW employers...but Pensacola leaders are lazy and lacking in creativity, so the best they can do is try to steal from someone else. Pensacola is pathetic...Don't believe me? Take a drive off the beach sometime, Mobile looks like paradise in comparison," taberm wrote.
To be fair, Mobile Mayor Sam Jones cited the hard-fought battle Mobile had to wage to ensure the first Airbus-related supplier, Safran Engineering Services, chose the Port City over neighboring cities such as Pensacola, so "pathetic" might be a little harsh when that deal should have been considered a given for Mobile.
Infirmary Health System's decision to outsource its emergency medicine practice to a Tennessee firm drew heated emails and social media reaction, but reader Bill tried to put things in perspective for everyone.
"If it doesn't make money, the Infirmary does not keep it. They know the Affordable Healthcare Act will mean less people coming to the ER if they have insurance. Less money coming in from Medicaid, so the Infirmary dumps the operation," Bill wrote.
Meanwhile, our closer look at the formation of a statewide angel investor network by Atmore native Jim Corman and opportunities even closer to home via the Gulf Coast Angel Network drew ample inquiries from readers near and far interested in tapping early-stage investment capital from $500,000 to $2 million. Reader Sage1 was a bit more critical writing, "Just look at the investment returns-particularly the Huntsville Angels-what a waste of time and money just to give the local director a meal ticket."
And finally, Friday's news that last-minute negotiations and a 30-day contract extension have averted a dock workers' strike that would have affected ports from Boston to Texas, ignited quite the firestorm among readers unhappy with Alabama's right-to-work status and the difficulties it presents for unionized labor statewide. To the readers who questioned my understanding of the role unions play in ensuring fair pay, humane working hours and safe conditions, I assure you as the product of a longtime U.S. Steel family, I am no stranger to union merits or the tense negotiations involved when there are children to be fed and picket lines looming. Reader THE most INTERESTING man IN the World – who wins my personal vote for Best screen name of 2012 – took a different view writing, "Let them strike, let the non-union members work, and not hire back the union members, then watch shippers look to mobile for more shipping volume."
With that I bid 2012 a fond farewell and look forward to even more stimulating debate in 2013. Check back Monday, Jan. 7, for another look at what y'all are saying matters – or doesn't – in Mobile's business community.

92 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 2011
Bright red. Floral-accented aromas of raspberry, incense and star anise. Juicy, high-pitched and bright, with lively acidity lifting and carrying its sappy red berry flavors. This palate-staining wine shows no sign of excess fat. The tangy, fresh finish offers excellent clarity. Built to age but it's also very sexy right now.

A recent article in Wired magazine on the popularity of TED talks both on-line and in person, says TED is helping ,"...speakers connect with audiences and helping audiences in turn to connect ideas inside their own mind." if this isn't enough to make interpreters pay attention to what TED has to offer I don't know what is. This is as good a description of what we attempt to do with our audiences everyday. Some talks are relevent to subject we interpret including marine biology or climate change, while others are about the very process of building and communicating an effective message.
I'll throw out this question here to develop a list of essential TED talks for interpreters. As I write this on my iPad in the Philadelphia airport on the way home from NIW2012 in Hampton, my mind is full of great thought of interpretation. I have a few TED talks on my iPad that I watched on the way here. One of my favorite was "Advice for a Young Scientist" by E.O. Wilson. I'll add it to SHINEnet with others when I get back home. Looking forward to what other TED talks touch interpreters.

Blood-transfusion safety-systems maker Cerus (NASDAQ: CERS ) announced today that Daniel Swisher has been elected chairman of the board of directors, effective immediately.
A director since June 2011, Swisher succeeds B.J. Cassin, who previously gave notice of his intent to retire from the board effective Dec. 31 to devote more time to his family foundation.
Believing the blood safety specialist is well positioned because of its current efforts around the PMA submissions for plasma and platelets in the U.S., Swisher said, "Cerus has been committed to improving blood safety for over two decades, and I am excited to assume the role of Chair of the Board for the next phase of the company's progress in delivering on this commitment."
Swisher, age 50, has served as chief executive officer and board member of biotech Sunesis Pharmaceuticals since 2003, and as Sunesis' president since 2005. He joined Sunesis in 2001, previously serving as chief business officer and CFO. Before joining the biotech, he served in various management roles, including senior vice president of sales and marketing for ALZA from 1992 to 2001, and holds a B.A. from Yale University and an M.B.A. from the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Cerus President and CEO William "Obi" Greenman thanked Cassin for his 21 years of service and said: "Under his leadership, Cerus has reached many important milestones, including our European launch and commercial growth, as well as the recent regulatory progress in the U.S. While we will miss B.J.'s contributions and steady perseverance, we feel privileged to have Dan lead the Board going forward."
Based in Concord, Calif., Cerus markets and sells its Intercept blood system for both platelets and plasma in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East, and selected countries in other regions around the world. In the U.S., Cerus is seeking regulatory approval of the system for plasma and platelets while it is in clinical development for red blood cells.

I should have been unemployed by now.
The layoffs were supposed to happen back at the beginning of July. However, the amazing corporate greed and incompetence that runs the company I work for told the design house people to jump "THIS HIGH!" and then pulled the chairs out from under them. Basically, they're horrendously understaffed, overworked, and underpaid. To the point where the new system they've put into place to 'save money' is barely functioning, with shit missing deadlines and all that money they were supposed to be saving going to pay overtime employees.
Those of us left in the old way of doing things have already made out peace and are just sitting back watching the world burn as people quite or end up hospitalized. Which wouldn't be so bad if my incompetent coworkers minds hadn't gone on unemployment the instance we found out about the layoffs last February. Now every day it's like their work output is them shitting out the content in the laziest manner possible with my boss unable to do anything to make them work harder, or enforce good work habits. (Basically, she can't fire them at this point cause it'll look bad.)
Ever day I find myself hating them more and more, and as much as I like some of the people I work with and some of the publications I work on, I desire a new job with every fiber of my being. I think I may grow my hair long again... because I can't exactly symbolically cut it.
I almost had freelance work, but that company is now in a hiring freeze. *sigh*
I'm thinking of learning how to design e-books. I figure that's a logical progression. I think I need to do some research. This is if I can't find a job by the time I am laid off. I also might actually write a novel then. I'm not gonna be able to sit around and do nothing... my mother will force me to get a retail job or something.
--- put a break line here ---
It is the beginning of what I call "fair season" in New England. The harvest time that I didn't appreciate till I was out of school. With that burden of 'ick, school' no longer an issue I could suddenly appreciate the stuff that goes on around here at this time of year. Stuff like the Marshfield Fair, King Richard's Faire, the waterfront festival (which I'm missing cause no one is around to go and fuck me, I'm not dealing with that traffic if I don't have to), apple picking and eventually haunted house/train/ship/castles. Now, if I could only find a date...
Fall gaming, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the PSN store (well, as much as you can)
It looks like I'll be spending my cash money on anime this fall (one piece, steins:gate, lain blu-ray), rather than retail games. AC3 will probably be a birthday gift... which leaves a long time between now and November. Good thing there are many games hitting PSN in September... that and my backlog needs whittling down.


text: Not sure what you mean by "solidly". As for nutrient dense, yes. I had no idea I was so deprived of basic vitamins. I was eating a LOT of liver for - I forget now - weeks, or months. And it was an angelic moment the day I realized I didn't want any, I'd saturated my body with B vitamins and more, and my constant urge to eat, eat, eat was suddenly held at bay. My whole body feels heavier now, I am solid, my bones take more work to move through space and my muscles have grown to move them. It's a whole new body!Hey Knife, btw - I remember reading a post of yours before where you said that when you started Primal you ate solidly for several months... Am I remembering right? Why do you think you did that?

I was trying to download Dungeon Defenders this morning since it's the Games with gold title for the 2nd half of March. I got an error that I was unable to download it and then a few minutes later I received an e-mail stating my gold account has been cancelled. I never cancelled this subscription.
In fact I had redeemed a few codes in November bringing my expiration to September 2015. I tried phone support but that was useless and I got disconnected.
I need my gold subscription re-established as soon as possible.
This is something that can only be fixed by calling Xbox Support by phone, please call them again and they should hopefully be able to figure out what is going on with your account.
Post 'as is' and confers no rights

On 11 March 2008, the Department for Investigation of Police arrested two policemen from the Ma'ale Adumim police station. The two are suspected of severely abusing a Palestinian from al-'Eizariya, a neighborhood in East Jerusalem. The arrest followed a complaint made by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel.
In early November 2007, the Palestinian man was detained and taken to the police station at the Ma'ale Adumim settlement, where, according to the complaint, two policemen severely abused him. They inserted objects into his body, urinated on him, and beat him viciously, among other things. The detainee, who was later released without being charged, after being interrogated, continues to suffer pain in various parts of his body.
The arrest of policemen for abusing Palestinians is an extremely rare occurrence, even though abuse of Palestinians by Israeli security forces is common. In the Ma'ale Adumim police station alone, B'Tselem knows of two other cases in which police officers assaulted Palestinians. In 2007, B'Tselem wrote to the authorities about eighty-three cases in which security forces assaulted Palestinians. This figure represents only a small portion of the number of cases of assault in which B'Tselem took testimonies. In the vast majority of cases, the authorities conduct a superficial investigation, and certainly do not prosecute assailants to the full extent of the law.
The prohibition on torture and ill-treatment in international law is absolute. Every country must thoroughly investigate every suspicion of torture or ill-treatment and bring the perpetrators to justice. Given that international law places responsibility for torture and ill-treatment not only on the state but also personally on the specific perpetrator, failure to initiate criminal proceedings in Israel exposes the perpetrators and persons in charge of them in the political echelon to criminal actions against them abroad.

The Strangers Among Us
It's Not Just Waco: Cults Ruled by Paranoia Flourish All Over America
According to J. Gordon Melton, author of Encyclopedic Handbook of Culls in America, there are at least 700 cults active in the U.S., a number that has been rising steadily since the turn of the century. Though it is difficult to say what constitutes a cult, such groups have several features in common. Chief among them is the members' dependence on a single, messianic leader who frequently makes all the decisions that govern their lives. Rational thought is discouraged, often by mind-numbing rituals and sensory deprivation. Recruits are smothered with "love," then manipulated through guilt.
From the outside, the lure of these fringe groups can be difficult to understand. Indeed, many former cult members can't explain it either. Generally, says Ronald Enroth, a sociology professor at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif., and author of the book Churches That Abuse, cult leaders "reach out to the disaffected in our society, people who have been marginalized, who don't fit in. [The leader] tells them, 'We're God's special people.' " What follows is a look at five such groups—and how they work.
A renegade swami in custody
Keith Ham is the kind of guru who gives cults a bad name. Back in 1987 the international Hare Krishna governing body expelled Ham—who prefers to be called His Divine Grace Kirtanananda Swami Bhaktipada—on the grounds that he was a "greedy megalomaniac." The verdict of the federal courts is even harsher: In 1991 Ham was sentenced to 30 years in prison for authorizing beating, kidnapping and murder to cover up his personal sect's illegal multimillion-dollar activities, which included counterfeiting and selling trademarked products such as Snoopy T-shirts, bumper stickers and caps.
But neither the convictions, which Bhaktipada is appealing, nor allegations of neglect and sexual abuse of children in the sect have discredited him in the eyes of more than 300 faithful at New Vrindaban, the 4,000-acre commune near Moundsville, W.Va., which he founded 24 years ago. "There's a feeling that it's legalized religious persecution," said commune spokesman Gadadhar Das. Devotees of the 55-year-old swami, a Baptist minister's son from Peekskill, N.Y., continue to seek fusion with God through chanting Krishna's name hundreds of times a day, refraining from eating meal, from gambling and from sex—except for procreation within Bhaktipada-sanctioned marriage. Meanwhile the schismatic Krishnas run one of the state's largest tourist attractions. Each year more than 60,000 of the curious pay $5 to see Prabhupada's Palace of Gold, a glittering gold-domed monument to the founder of the Hare Krishna sect, and its gardens featuring 1,000 varieties of roses.
A victim of childhood polio, Bhaktipada walks with canes and is confined to an apartment in Wheeling, some 12 miles from the commune. It is not his disability that keeps him there, but a federal court order—plus the electronic ankle bracelet he must wear pending the outcome of his appeal.
The guru who calls herself Ma
In 1977 Deborah and John (these are pseudonyms) traveled at the suggestion of their marital therapists to a 47-acre ranch in Roseland, Fla., near Palm Beach, run by an obscure religious group. Soon after their arrival, the couple found themselves in the thrall of Ma Jaya Bhagavati Cho (known simply as Ma) and her Kashi Church. Ma, explains Deborah, is "brilliant. She can know your innermost secrets, and people see this gift and think she must be divine."
In reality, Ma is Joyce Green Difiore Cho, a 52-year-old former Jewish housewife from Brooklyn who says that in 1973, while meditating as part of a weight-loss program, she had visitations from Christ, whose word she began spreading, and later, visions of Hindu leader Neem Karoli Baba, who is still her gum today. Daily life on her ashram, says Ma's spokesman, John Evans, emphasizes service to the community, and Ma does, in fact, spend a great deal of time visiting local nursing homes and AIDS patients. Deborah, however, insists that many ashram activities are aimed at "stopping your mind" and consuming all free time. Among them, she says, are early morning meditations, all-night meetings and long hours of work on or off the ranch. Members are not allowed to have sexual relations except for purposes of procreation.
According to Deborah, Ma also allegedly persuaded her and others to give their children to Ma to raise. In 1981, when John and Deborah had a baby, Deborah says Ma induced her to forge Ma's name on the birth certificate—a charge Ma has denied. Then, says Deborah, she was permitted only limited contact with her daughter. John and Deborah left the ashram in 1982 and returned home to Colorado, leaving their daughter behind. "My daughter was to succeed Joyce," explains Deborah. "I believed it, as ridiculous as it sounds." With the help of a court order and a SWAT team, they retrieved the child in 1989; she is now in sixth grade in Colorado.
Ma has a few hundred followers, some 150 of whom live at the ashram. Folksinger Arlo Guthrie, who keeps a room there, has been a member for seven years. Two of his four children attend the ashram school. Says Guthrie: "I love Ma. She has never asked me for money for herself—only to help other people. She serves God by serving man." Deborah, of course, disagrees. And she worries about the children who have grown up on the ashram. "They haven't seen much of the outside world," she says. "They think she's God. That horrifies me."
A cult for the computer age
He promises six-figure salaries, fancy cars and enlightenment through his peculiar blend of Buddhism and capitalism. But life inside the decade-old group nicknamed the Computer Cult, run by Frederick Lenz III, 43, also known as Zen Master Rama, is very different, former followers say.
Almost all the money his 300-plus disciples on the East Coast and in California earn from their jobs in the computer field—an estimated $4 million to $10 million a year—is reportedly tunneled back to the so-called Yuppie Guru through required monthly meditation and computer-programming seminars. While the San Diego-born guru enjoys a sumptuous lifestyle at mansions in Santa Fe, Malibu and on Long Island, Lenzites live in Spartan apartments wherever they work. Instead of enlightenment, say disaffected former members, there is constant fear.
"He teaches that the rest of society is evil," says Mark Lurtsema, 32, a New York City computer programmer who followed Lenz for six years. According to Lurtsema, Lenz convinces followers that only his occult powers can shield them from demons and other dark forces. Lurtsema says the blond six-footer rules over every aspect of his followers' lives, from clothing (red and black are power colors) to cars (owned or leased Mercedes—but not the 500 model, which only Lenz is allowed to drive). Female erstwhile cult members claim Lenz pressures them into sex. (Lenz declines to be interviewed. But his press kit accuses those making "false and defamatory statements" about the group of "bias, unreliability and bad faith.")
"I realized I was looking for an easy answer," confesses Lurtsema, who left the group three years ago with his wife-to-be. "He formats people like floppy disks. I didn't have my own game plan, so I played his game."
An elusive pastor reborn
In 1982, when Betsy Dovydenas was 30, she was searching for a new spiritual path. Heir to the Dayton-Hudson department store fortune, Dovydenas joined the Bible Speaks, a Lenox, Mass., group headed by Carl H. Stevens Jr., a onetime bakery-truck driver. "I was sleep-deprived, food-deprived," says Dovydenas. "They worked on me night and day." The mesmerizing Stevens urged Dovydenas to leave her husband and two children, she says, and to donate $6.6 million to his group over three years. But in 1986 Dovydenas's husband, Jonas, her parents, and a "cult deprogrammer" managed to pry her away from the group. In 1987 she sued the church for her money—and though she won, it was a moral victory alone, as the Bible Speaks had already declared bankruptcy. Soon afterward a police raid on the Lenox headquarters turned up $60,000 worth of weapons and electronic surveillance equipment.
Meanwhile the sect was reincarnated—Carl Stevens now preaches his version of Christianity to some 1,400 faithful at the Greater Grace World Outreach headquarters in Baltimore. Michael Marr, Stevens' attorney, points out that Stevens does not even collect a salary (though some followers do pay him fees for business consulting). "He's a genius when it comes to understanding the word of God," says Marr. "To call him a cult leader is a lie from the pit of hell."
Michael Gray, 33, a Bel Air, Md., automotive sales consultant, lakes a darker view of Stevens. He stopped attending Greater Grace services after six months, concerned by "the constant messages that Stevens was being persecuted because he was 'God's man.' " The pastor often arrived at church flanked by armed bodyguards. Gray feared "what could happen when levels of paranoia reach such a heightened state." He didn't wait to find out.
The Piecemakers: Blessed—or abused?
The Piecemakers Country Store in Costa Mesa, Calif., offers everything a crafts lover could ask for: quilts, sewing classes, an old-fashioned candy counter—and a chance to walk with Jesus. "It was really neat in the beginning," says Marion Simonds, 62, about Piecemakers, a booming retail business cum Christian sect that began 20 years ago as a Bible-study group in the home of Marie Kolasinski. "We all came and fellowshipped together." But soon, say estranged members, Kolasinski, 72, began preaching communal living, no sex and limited communication among family members in order to bring her followers closer to God. "Marie used to say, 'If you're not miserable, if your flesh isn't being put to death, then God isn't dealing with you,' " recalls Paula Foster, 44, who after 11 years broke away from Piece-makers in 1982. Kolasinski, for her part, is said to deal with her flock by cursing at and humiliating members in front of the group. "She believes God is very intense," explains Foster. "He's a God that kicks you in the ass all the lime." Kolasinski's hold over her members is such that Simonds and her husband, Harold, 63, signed over the title to their home to Piecemakers in 1986 and only won it back in 1992 after a yearlong legal battle. "We're totally harmless," insists Kolasinski, who says that the Simondses gave up their house freely. "We're people that love the Lord. You don't find that too much in this country."

Customer Reviews
Disappointed 😔
I've been using this app for years, it's been my go-to picture editor and I've always recommended it to everyone. But now ? All of the packages I previously purchased (filters, effects, etc) are suddenly gone and it's a shame because that's what separated this app from all of the others. Now this is basically useless to me and I'll have to look elsewhere to find something similar to what pixlromatic used to be. I'll check back in to see if there's an update addressing this, or try to find a way to revert back to the previous version. Super disappointed 😞👎
Been using this for years
Only downside is sometimes the output quality isn't as high as what u started out with. It degrades the image quality/resolution.
Also need ability to adjust each effect...more and more apps now offer adjusting filter strength and placement for things such as flares, leaks, etc...
Love using this app
I've had this app for a long time. Recently there was an update and the very things I paid have been chopped into less attractive subcategories without asking. It seems a bit unfair that I have lost $1.99 for each section of add ons and I want them back. It's an awesome app but I feel cheated.

TORONTO — The suspense is over. With their loss to the Toronto Raptors last night, the 76ers were mathematically eliminated from the NBA playoffs. It was a milestone they had been approaching for the last two months with the inevitability of sunrise.
The Sixers were beaten, 117-105, by a two-year-old NBA team that was athletically superior and emotionally stronger.
``They came out aggressive, and it showed,'' said Jerry Stackhouse, who struggled through a poor night, as did most of his teammates. ``You can't give up 30-point quarters and have anything positive come out of it.''
