Universität Zürich
Born in 1986, I was raised in a small hamlet in the Jura mountains, a rolling hills region in Switzerland. Growing up with a godfather working as farm animal veterinarian and a father (veterinarian too) employed in a pharmaceutical company, I was fascinated by life sciences. During late high school, I was given opportunities to gain insights into different areas of research and the daily work of a field-veterinarian. The desire to join interests for both science and animal welfare led me to veterinary school. I'm working as an immunology teaching assistant - preparing lessons, teaching younger students and leading discussions. Since 2007 I've worked part-time as a technical assistant in a zebrafish hatchery of the Zoological Institute, University of Zurich.
In my free time I play the violin and table tennis. This fall, I began sport climbing and completed the basic course, which includes top rope climbing, belaying and lead climbing.
Career Goal:
I intend to complete veterinary medicine studies, majoring in "Biomedical Research." Thereafter, I will enroll in a PhD program and then apply for a post-doc position in Biomedical Research.

After de yoof of Britain decided to go, en masse, 100 per cent discount shopping in what many media commentators labelled "rioting", it was only a matter of time before media commentators of the New Zealand variety would ask the question: could what happened in Britain happen here? To which the answer is, obviously, "do you not remember that whole Queen St thing in 1984 and, oh, in 1932 and, wow, even back there in 1905?"
So having established that it is entirely possible for the Kiwi fabric of society to be rent asunder, what would a 21st century riot on a street near us look like? I find myself wondering. Given that the most famous Kiwi street near me is Ponsonby Rd, the Golden Mile of Auckland's cafe and fashion scene, I think we would be in for a very special riot indeed.
The 1905 Queen St riot started with a dispute over the bill in a Greek restaurant, which means that it is entirely possible, nay almost inevitable, that a Ponsonby Rd riot would start in a cafe. A disgruntled patron might question, in a voice a loud enough to be overheard by the barista, the quality of his/her trim flat white. An argument ensues, hurtful things are said, the barista starts to cry. Out of support for their emotionally-wounded colleague, the cafe staff spontaneously go on strike.
This is where social networking comes into play, as baristas up and down Ponsonby Rd tweet each other and inflame the situation by going on strike in support of their tearful comrade. Then when Twitter also spreads news of the strike to the caffeine-addicted patrons of P Rd, the jitters can be felt from Three Lamps to Western Park. All that is needed now is a flashpoint, and things can really kick off.
Within an hour of the first barista downing his or her milk-frothing jug and with crowds gathering outside cafes up and down the strip, clamouring for the java, the situation goes from incendiary to enflamed when a punter, delirious from caffeine withdrawal, runs from the classy pizza joint/cafe Il Buco, waving an (unpaid for) slice of pizza over their head, crying "give me coffee or give me death!" That no one fully understands the correlation between pizza, coffee and death seems not to matter, because rationality and reason have left this apparently affluent strip of tarmac. It is only a matter of minutes before the first brick goes through the window of Zambesi and the looting begins in earnest.
It is only a matter of minutes before screeching packs of trophy wives, pushing designer strollers laden with kidsware pilfered from the gutted Pumpkin Patch, are legging it past the burning Nosh building, back to their gated Herne Bay housing estates, as fast as their Pilates-toned legs can carry them.
In what will become a potent media symbol of the riot, a grey-haired man, with a Paul Smith scarf wrapped around his face disguising his identity, is photographed running from chic menswear store Masons and loading armfuls of Kenzo and D&G shirts into his 911, before driving off at high speed.
At Ponsonby-landmark restaurant Prego, management barricades the courtyard against the unruly mob baying for calzone and calamari fritti. Meanwhile, down the road at the other Ponsonby-landmark restaurant, SPQR, it is business as usual, because SPQR is riotous at the best of times so in an actual riot it just kind of blends in.
Over the road at Conch, where all the hipsters hang out, dub music blares through broken windows, giving the Ponsonby Rd riot its own soundtrack as, a few doors down, a literary mob chanting "we want a new Emily Perkins novel and we want it now" storms The Women's Bookshop.
Eventually the police mobilise every spare officer they've got currently not involved in shooting a reality television series, in order to quell the escalating mayhem. But when the car reaches Ponsonby Rd it is halted by what looks like a seemingly impenetrable barricade, but which is actually a bunch of SUVs double-parked really badly, so instead they head to South Auckland to stop the rioting spreading there. It doesn't because, quite frankly, they have much better things to do.
After almost two hours of anarchy, Ponsonby Rd's Day of Shame is halted only when Lucy Lawless and Robyn Malcolm use their star power to confront a rabid, caffeine-deprived mob bent upon looting Trade Aid, telling them that "fair trade doesn't mean free trade". Then Dave Dobbyn, looking to atone for the whole 1984 shambles, sings Welcome Home from the upstairs window of trendy restaurant Sunday Painters and everyone feels stink and cries and hugs and air-kisses each other.
The next day the baristas all go back to work and the healing begins.

We must keep fighting to protect the unborn
In 1928, 98 percent of Catholic voters voted for Democrat Al Smith for president, believing that his values in standing up for the powerless and voiceless best reflected their values.
This year, 55 percent of churchgoing Catholic voters – recognizing that the Republican ticket's stance on standing up for the most powerless and voiceless of all, unborn babies, was more in accord with Catholic teaching – voted for the Republican ticket. It is my hope that in future elections, the Catholic Church will continue to provide even more leadership on this important issue so that the most powerless and voiceless of all will not be ignored.

As previously disclosed, on December 17, 2013 and January 8, 2014, Shenzhen BAK Battery Co., Ltd. ("Shenzhen BAK"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of China BAK Battery, Inc. (Nasdaq: CBAK) entered into two loan agreements (the "Loan Agreements") with Mr. Jinghui Wang, pursuant to which, Shenzhen BAK borrowed from Mr. Wang an aggregate of RMB520 million (approximately $85.9 million) (the "Loans"). Pursuant to the Loan Agreements, Shenzhen BAK has the obligations to repay the principal amount of RMB520 million and any accrued interest to Mr. Wang by March 31, 2014. To secure the repayment of the Loans, the Company and the Company's wholly-owned Hong Kong subsidiary, BAK International Limited ("BAK International") separately entered into a corporate guarantee with Mr. Wang, under which each of the Company and BAK International irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to the lender timely performance by Shenzhen BAK of all its obligations under the Loan Agreements. In addition, the Company and BAK International entered into a Share Mortgage with Mr. Wang, under which, the Company pledged 100% of its equity interest in BAK International to the lender as security for the performance of Shenzhen BAK's obligations under the Loan Agreements (the "Pledged Equity Interests"). If Shenzhen BAK defaults on its repayment obligation under or in connection with the Loan Agreements, Mr. Wang, as the pledgee, will be entitled to dispose of the Pledged Equity Interests.
On April 24, 2014, the Company received a notice from Mr. Wang (the "Default Notice"), dated April 10, 2014, that Shenzhen BAK was in default of the Loans for failure to repay the principal and accrued interest in the total sum of RMB545,263,440.86 (the "Default Amount"), of which RMB520 million is the principal and RMB25,263,440.86 is the accrued interest calculated up to March 31, 2014, to Mr. Wang. In the Default Notice, Mr. Wang stated that unless Shenzhen BAK repays the Default Amount together with any additional accrued interest up to the date of actual payment, within seven days from the date of the Default Notice, he would proceed to enforce all his rights under the Pledge Equity Interests including but not limited to selling or otherwise dispose of the Pledged Equity Interests and collect and apply the proceeds in or towards settlement or discharge of the Liabilities (as defined in the Share Mortgage) without further notice to the Company.
Prior to receipt of the Default Notice from Mr. Wang, we had been negotiating with Mr. Wang for a settlement of amounts owed by us under the Loan Agreements, and following receipt of the Default Notice, we continue to work with Mr. Wang towards a settlement. We cannot, however, give assurance that we and Mr. Wang will be able to reach a mutually satisfactory settlement agreement. If no settlement is reached, Mr. Wang may foreclose on the ownership of BAK International, which constitutes a substantial portion of the Company's assets.

|Only floss teeth you want to keep the rest of your life
"The Boss of Floss" is what's printed on a T-shirt I wear with humorous pride. Another T-shirt I wear has a shark flossing his teeth saying 'Got Floss?'
Why floss?
Flossing is important for gum and tooth health because it removes food debris and plaque from the gum pockets between the teeth.
It also falls right behind duct tape for temporary repairs, a very universal product. Just yesterday in the office, I used floss to tie a computer connection that kept disconnecting.
Wikipedia's Internet site describes dental floss as "either a bundle of thin nylon filaments or a plastic (Teflon or polyethylene) ribbon used to remove food and dental plaque from teeth. The floss is gently inserted between the teeth and scraped along the teeth sides, especially close to the gums. Dental floss may be flavored or unflavored, and waxed or unwaxed."
Both brushing and flossing are important in controlling decay and gum disease. There are two types of cavities – brushing cavities and flossing cavities.
Flossing cavities are decay that begins between the teeth and can only be controlled with flossing. Brushing cavities occur in the grooves and pits on the top and sides of the teeth, where the bristles of the brush can reach.
Flossing and brushing also keep the gums healthy by keeping the root surface of the tooth smooth and by preventing plaque build up. A study of 50 sets of identical twins, with one twin only brushing and the other brushing and flossing showed a 42 percent increase in overall tooth and gum health for the flossers.
Flossing trick
A good way to remove fibrous food, like meat, carrot, celery, or popcorn kernels, that gets stuck between the teeth is making a knot in the floss and pulling the floss knot through sideways and out.
Often the up and down method of flossing will not remove the jammed food, but the knotted floss trick will. I frequently use this method in the office for removing wedged debris, most often popcorn kernels, on a patient with a painful gum abscess.
Who flosses?
Flossing is important, but so few get in the healthy habit. Nearly all Americans brush their teeth. However, the American Dental Association states only about 12 percent of Americans floss daily, 39 percent floss less than daily, and 49 percent do not floss at all. I suspect the number of flossers is actually even lower.
Like all new techniques, learning to floss is challenging in the beginning. It takes repetition and perseverance. Flossing becomes easier with time. The fingers become more dexterous, and the spaces between the teeth become more open as the teeth spread from flossing. Once it becomes a habit, you don't feel comfortable unless you floss.
Old-time flossers
It might sound incredible, but flossing isn't a new technique. Archaeologists found evidence Neanderthals who lived more than 63,000 years ago flossed their teeth. Levi Spear Parmly, a dentist from New Orleans, is credited with inventing the first form of dental floss in the modern era.
In 1815, he began recommending people clean their teeth with silk floss. In 1898, the Johnson & Johnson Corp. received the first patent for silk dental floss. In 1918, the first literary mention of flossing was found in James Joyce's famous novel "Ulysses."
The adoption of floss was poor before World War II. It was around this time, however, Dr. Charles C. Bass developed nylon floss. Nylon floss was better than silk because of its greater abrasion resistance and elasticity.
Choices of floss
Modern technology has improved on an ancient design. Today, you can choose from floss string or tape, super floss, floss picks, electric flossers, interdental brushes, floss threaders and oral irrigators. You can choose between waxed or unwaxed, flavored or unflavored, and regular or tape types. In general, waxed floss slides between the teeth easier than unwaxed floss, so it is a good selection for beginning flossers. Flavored floss leaves a fresh taste in the mouth, and is especially nice for those times when brushing or rinsing is not possible. Tape floss is thicker than regular floss, is stronger and good for buffing the teeth.
The next time you are in your favorite store or pharmacy, check out the flossing options. Also, ask your hygienist which flossing product might be suitable for you.
Your hygienist can also demonstrate regular and alternate flossing technique. Experiment with flossing products until you find the one that best suits your needs; then make a pact with yourself to floss—regularly.
If you are unable to get into the habit of flossing or physically unable to floss, then it is vital you brush well, preferably with an electric toothbrush and use other aids like toothpicks or a water pick.
Electric flossers, also called air flossers, are a good option for non-flossers. They are easier to use than regular flossing and shoot micro droplets of water (or mouthwash) between teeth with a burst of pressurized air to dislodge and remove interproximal plaque biofilm.
Plus, if you are not flossing, then it is even more important you get frequent dental cleanings and dental examinations.
Healthy habits
Early on in my life, I realized we are creatures of habit, and so I made a conscious decision to establish healthy habits, such as, healthy eating, exercise, and flossing. Healthy eating is still my biggest weakness and a constant challenge, especially eating smaller portions of delicious food.
I now try to slowly savor each bite. I also revel in the sensation of motion with exercise. And I enjoy the meditative repetition and sensation of flossing, as well as the pleasure of a clean mouth.
Enjoy life and keep smiling.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- A West Michigan firm has been chosen to lead the renovation of East Hall, the birthplace of Western Michigan University.
The university announced Thursday that it has selected TowerPinkster, a 60-year-old architecture firm with offices in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids.
The university's first building is set to be turned into a new alumni center -- a $15 million project set to begin this summer.
"We're extraordinarily pleased that TowerPinkster will be working with us," said David Dakin, director of planning in WMU's Facilities Management Department. "(Firm principal) Bjorn Green knows this building inside and out, so he'll be able to hit the ground running. His firm is part of the fabric of this community, and its record in the historic preservation arena is first rate."
East Hall and the 20 acres at the top of Prospect Hill were donated to the Western State Normal School, as WMU originally was called, by the city of Kalamazoo. The 34,000-square-foot core of the building, which is slated to become the Alumni Center, was completed in 1905.
While plans for the alumni center generally have been praised by alumni and the community, the university's plans to raze the other three buildings that make up East Campus have attracted strong criticism from some Kalamazoo residents and historic preservationists.
Signs reading, "Stop Demolition of Historic East Campus" have cropped up on lawns around Kalamazoo and a Change.org petition, started by Rodger Parzyck of the Heritage Co., demanding that WMU find alternatives to demolition had 2,285 signatures as of Thursday.
East Hall was declared a national historic landmark in 1978. The Western State Normal School Historic District, which includes the rest of East Campus, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
Phase 1 of demolition -- West Hall and the Speech and Hearing Building -- is expected to begin late this summer, but no official dates have been set, according to Cheryl Roland, executive director of university relations. North Hall and the part of East Hall's wings not included in the renovation will come down this fall, after the university's archives, which are currently housed in East Hall, move to its new home, the Zhang Legacy Collections on Oakland Drive.
Design work on the alumni center project will begin "immediately," said WMU in a press release, and will be led by Green.
This won't be the first project TowerPinskter has worked on at WMU. The firm also was in charge of the renovation of university's Lee Honors College and the Office of Sustainability. Earlier, it oversaw the Gilmore
Theater Complex and the College of Aviation facilities in Battle Creek.
The firm, which has 65 employees, also has worked on projects for other West Michigan institutions of higher learning, including Kalamazoo College, Kalamazoo
Valley Community College, Grand Valley State University, Albion College and
Ferris State University.
Historic preservation expert Gene Hopkins of Hopkins Burns Design Studio in Ann Arbor also will be tapped for the project, WMU said. During his 32 year-career, he has overseen a number of projects involving national historic landmarks, including the Grand Hotel, Fort Mackinac, the Michigan State Capitol and Fort Wayne.
TowerPinkster won the 2013 Governor's Award for Historic Preservation for its work on the Federal Building in Grand Rapids, which it renovated for Ferris State University's College of Art and Design. Green was project lead on The Accident Fund
Insurance Company corporate headquarters in Lansing, which involved transforming a
1930s-era power plant into an office building. That project earned LEED-Gold certification from the US Green Building Council in Washington.
"As a local firm, we understand the rich history of Western Michigan University and the story of its founding," said Green. "This unique project will celebrate the historic significance and grandeur of East Hall and what it symbolizes for both the Kalamazoo and WMU communities. We're honored to be a part of this effort."

To mark a special milestone birthday, I decided to create a meaningful ritual as a way to reflect on the past and look ahead to a positive future. My goals were to acknowledge and differentiate this transition as sacred, express my deepest personal feelings, and share this significant moment with family and friends within the context of Jewish community.
Using Rabbi Dayle A. Friedman's article, "Constructing a Ritual of Transition," as a guideline, I reflected carefully on the significance of the ritual and an appropriate guiding metaphor. I strove to keep the ritual simple, make the moment magic, involve key people, and incorporate music.
This ritual incorporates both traditional and contemporary Jewish liturgy emphasizing the themes of gratitude, healing, renewal, and redemption, consistent with my goals in creating this ceremony. It includes music and texts that have always resonated for me spiritually, including: excerpts from the morning service; Marcia Falk's, "Blessing of Redemption" and "Blessing for the New and Renewal;" Psalms 71: 17 – 18, 86:7, 150:6; and Debbie Friedman's "Lechi Lach." Also providing inspiration was the Simchat Hochmah ritual, "The Blessing of Wisdom" [See Richard F. Address, To Honor and Respect, URJ Press].
Importantly, the focal point for this ceremony was Mayyim Hayyim in Newton, Massachusetts, where I was joined by my daughter and two of my friends. The mikveh, the quintessential symbol of rebirth and renewal, offered the ideal sacred space, with its confluence of physical and spiritual elements within a Jewish community setting. It seemed particularly appropriate that this special birthday also marked the occasion of my first tevilah or immersion. I looked forward to personal reflection in the mikveh, followed by the ceremony with family and friends.
While immersing in the mikveh, I could hear my daughter and friends chanting Psalm 150:6, . "Let all that breathes praise the Lord, Hallelujah," a verse that I have always found imbued with tremendous spiritual depth, particularly the niggun of Kehilat Kol HaNeshama in Jerusalem.
I felt it was important to acknowledge this occasion and its significance with personal meditation and reflection.
Recite the following texts as kavannot in the mikveh, in addition to the immersion blessing.
Let us bless the source of life,
source of faith and daring,
wellspring of new song
and the courage to mend.*
(Copyright © 1996 by Marcia Lee Falk)
You have let me experience it, God, from my youth;
until now I have proclaimed Your wondrous deeds,
And even in hoary old age, do not forsake me, God.
—Psalm 71:17–18
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
heed my plea for mercy.
In my time of trouble I call You,
For You will answer me.
—Psalm 86:6
Emerge renewed and refreshed from the mikveh, ready to receive the following blessing from guests. [Guests offer blessings while passing around the miniature Torah received many years ago in Hebrew School.]
Let us bless the flow of life
that revives us, sustains us,
and brings us to this time.*
Share these words, using selections from the shacharit (morning) service (from Birchot Ha-shachar) as well as the Simchat Hochmah ceremony referenced above:
I am grateful to You, everlasting God, for restoring my soul to me in compassion.
You are faithful beyond measure.
I have trusted in Your love;
May I rejoice in Your saving power.
I shall sing to the Lord;
for He has been bountiful to me.
As today I celebrate my life's continued unfolding, I am awestruck by the wonder of my being. And so I pray that kindness and compassion may be on my lips, that strength and courage may be with me in my comings and my goings, and that I may continue to learn from and to teach those dear to me.
O God my creator, as You are the first and the last, may my life ever be a song of praise to You. (Excerpted from Richard F. Address, To Honor and Respect, URJ Press)
Together recite these blessings:
Praised are you, Lord our God, Sovereign of the universe who has given of Your wisdom
to flesh and blood.
Praised are You, Lord our God, Sovereign of the universe who creates fruit of the vine.
[Each person drinks from the Kiddush cup.]
The ceremony concludes singing the song, Lechi Lach.
Lyrics by Debbie Friedman & Savina Teubal
(based on Genesis 12:1–2)
Lechi lach to a land that I will show you
Lech li-cha to a place you do not know
Lechi lach on your journey I will bless you
And you shall be a blessing, you shall be a blessing
You shall be a blessing lechi lach
Lechi lach and I shall make your name great
Lech li-cha and all shall praise your name
Lechi lach to the place that I will show you
Li-simchat chayim, li-simchat chayim
Li-simchat chayim lechi lach.
And you shall be a blessing, you shall be a blessing
You shall be a blessing lechi lach.

Progress #6 (Posted 28th January 2012)
Teeth! The middle 4 teeth are cheaper scarecrow brand fangs, but the teeth on either end are more expensive vampire fangs I had made a while back - they were made by a dentist and have a plate that sits on the roof of your mouth to hold them in place. The plate does a good job of holding all the teeth in place snuggly I've found!

The gap between America and japan is only about two weeks, so i expect the gap between Japan and Europe to be about the same. Also, I think Metroid will be early 2006. Most (if not all) of the games they have mentioned so far i believe to be out in the first Quarter.

Johnson and Backes on Team USA
Erik Johnson and David Backes have made Team USA and will be competing in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Their names were called at the finale of the Winter Classic at Fenway Park. T.J. Oshie did not make the squad, which has been a talking point amongst Blues' fans this season. Backes and Johnson will skate in Vancouver along with Roman Polak who was recently named to the Czech Republic squad. The Olympic games are made just a bit more exciting when some of our boys in Blue take the ice.
Erik Johnson is certainly deserving, but I will admit I am surprised David Backes made it while T.J. Oshie did not. Oshie is a fantastic 2-way forward, while Backes is the more physical player of the two. Not to take anything away from Backes, but aside from the goaltenders, it was a surprising USA squad, with notable omissions at the defense. The team obviously lacks the huge name power that Canada brings to the table, and will have to use grit to get things done – an area Backes can excel in.
Oshie might have missed the cut this year, but he should be looked at again come the next Winter's games if he continues playing at the same intensity he is now.

This is the best blue temporary hairdye i have ever used.
It lasts a lot longer than the other blue's I have used, As it fades (as all temporary dyes do) it doesn't go a nasty green colour, it just goes a lighter and lighter blue.
I bleached my hair before hand, just dyed the blue is very bright and very bold.
The dye is also very easy to get off skin & a small amount of bleach gets it off the bath & sink * shower
The price? Its more expensive than other temporary dyes yes. But it is worth… Read Full Review

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. _ Residents along Alabama's Gulf coast know all too well the devastation that hurricanes can bring.
But few can grasp the fallout from a colossal oil spill that could wash ashore by the weekend, depending on the wind and ocean currents.
The slick, from a drilling rig that exploded and sank last week 50-miles off the Louisiana coast, could inflict an environmental blow to Gulf coast states.
The effects could also slam the state's tourism and seafood industry, which pumps millions of dollars annually into state coffers.
Mike Foster of the Alabama Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau said Wednesday no one knows what the slick will do next, so it's similar to watching a hurricane. Gov. Bob Riley was in Mobile this week to discuss the slick's latest movements and to review plans if the sludge reaches coastal Mobile or Baldwin counties.
Similar slick-watching was repeated in Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi, as officials throughout the coastal region braced for it reaching land.
Recovery from a massive oil spill is extremely difficult given the long-term damage huge petroleum spills can cause to aquatic plants and animals. So long as the slick stays offshore, the greatest threat is to fish and fish eggs, which could affect future populations of marine life.
A substantial oil slick along the coast could upset fragile wetlands where migratory birds feed and aquatic life abounds.
Mother Nature set up a perfect storm of sorts for the spill to deal a major blow to the seafood industry. The spill comes as the shrimp and crab trade was just beginning to recover from its worst winter in more than a decade.
The prolonged winter also delayed the breeding patterns of red snapper. "We're wondering if this spill is going to overlap with their spawning," George Crozier, director of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, told The Mobile Press-Register.
Pollution experts say beaches are the easiest part of the ecosystem to clean up and rebound. Marshes are much harder to restore because the pollutants can remain for years.
Six days after the deadly explosion and resulting gusher, an oily sheen covered hundreds of square miles of ocean with various degrees of thickness.
The U.S. Coast Guard ignited thicker patches Wednesday in a frantic effort to get rid of the sludge before it reaches environmentally sensitive marshlands and beaches.
The spill is sure to rekindle debate on expanding oil drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico. No matter what side of the energy pump one falls on, safety should be at the forefront of all drilling decisions: safety to workers, safety to the public and safety to the environment.
The oil rig that sank was a relatively new one. It was just nine years old and equipped with the latest safety gizmos. It's not the first Gulf off-shore oil accident in recent years but it may be the largest.
The federal Mining Minerals Management Service, which regulates offshore drilling, has reported 858 fires and explosions in Gulf of Mexico operations since 2001.
Now, hundreds of people are frantically working to stop the gushing of 5,000 barrels of crude a day into our pristine Gulf of Mexico.
We hope that work can be completed as soon as possible, and that this accident be a reminder of the risks associated when we mix oil and water in such epic proportions.

Dr Tatjana Višak joined Monash in 2012—and she is involved in both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching in the Centre for Human Bioethics. During the past 12 years, she has taught ethics at various Dutch universities.
Tatjana's research focuses on utilitarian moral theory and animal ethics. Her PhD thesis (2011, Ethics Institute, Utrecht University) examined whether the routine killing of animals for human pleasure can be justified, given the common assumptions that animals count morally and that their welfare matters.

November 2012 Lookback
Widespread flooding fourth week
By Philip Eden
Pressure was substantially below normal (by 4 to 6 mbar) in all parts of the UK during November. There were short anticyclonic spells in the south on the 6th-7th and the 12th-15th, but for the rest of the time the weather was generally cyclonic. Rain was particularly heavy and prolonged between the 20th and 27th, and this triggered repeated flooding in several regions.
Mean maximum temperature during November ranged from 11.5°C at Weymouth (Dorset) to 6.0°C at Dalwhinnie (Inverness-shire), while mean minimum temperature varied between 8.3°C at St Mary's (Isles of Scilly) and 0.0°C at Aboyne (Aberdeenshire). Daytime temperatures were typically 0.5-1.5 degC below the 1981-2010 normal, whereas night-time temperatures were between 0.0 and 1.0 degC below in all regions. The Central England Temperature (CET) of 6.6°C was 0.6 degC below the long-term mean - the lowest in November only since 2010. In the last 100 years 43 Novembers were colder, 52 were warmer, and five had the same mean temperature.
The highest maximum at a standard site (i.e excluding rooftop and mountain sites) in the UK was 16.4°C recorded at Kew Gardens (London) on the 13th, while the lowest minimum was minus 7.3°C Braemar (Aberdeenshire) early on the 29th. The lowest daytime maximum was minus 0.1°C at Castlederg (Co Fermanagh) on the 25th, while the warmest night was that of 19th/20th with a minimum of 12.5°C at Plymouth (Devon).
Rainfall averaged over England and Wales (including a small estimated figure for the 30th) during November was 134mm which is 128 per cent of the average for the standard reference period 1981-2010. Averaged nationally, it was the wettest November only since 2009; however, in the last 100 years just 20 Novembers were wetter while 80 were drier. The equivalent figures for Scotland were 102mm and 86 per cent of the normal amount, and for Northern Ireland 73mm and 80 per cent. Monthly totals at routinely-available sites varied between 319mm at Cluanie Inn (Wester Ross) and 23mm at Kinloss (Morayshire). The heaviest daily fall was 75mm on the 24th at Culdrose (Cornwall), while 177mm fell over the seven-day period 19th-25th at East Okement Farm, near Okehampton (Devon).
Sunshine averaged over England and Wales (including an estimated figure for the 30th) during November was 77 hours which is 110 per cent of the 1981-2010 mean, making this the sunniest November since 2006. In the last 100 years, just 17 Novembers were sunnier while 83 were duller. The equivalent figures for Scotland were 69 hours and 119 per cent, and for Northern Ireland 77 hours and 127 per cent. Largest total in the UK was 91 hours at East Malling (Kent) and the smallest was 38 hours at Kinlochewe (Wester Ross).
Strongest winds during November occurred on the 22nd with gusts to 75 knots at Capel Curig (Caernarfon).

I listened to Starships the whole time I wrote this. That is because of this. That's not a lie, either. Nor is it an over-exaggeration. I listened to that song twenty-two times. I write slow.
* * *
Russell Westbrook likes clothes. This has been a talking point since that night he showed up wearing a pair of red lensless glasses and a Lacoste shirt. The shirt had fishing lures on it. A lot of them. Like Rashaun Woods designed it or something.
Ever since then, with an increasing number of eyes turning to look on Oklahoma City and Westbrook, he has made sure to bring that fashion fire each and every time he gets a chance.
That love for clothes came to a head during New York City's Fashion Week. Russ sat next to royalty. The fashion icon. The lady that Merryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada was based on. The woman he dubbed #fashionqueen. Vogue's Editor-In-Chief, Anna Wintour.
An aside: I'm not saying I've seen the movie The Devil Wears Prada, but if I had then I'd tell you it's actually a pretty good time and the next time it's on FX you should check it out if only to get an opportunity to see Vinnie Chase be really pissed at the Princess of Genovia.
* * *
I'm a believer in Instagram. I think it's incredible. It gives you a small chance to see athletes and celebrities in the midst of something that might resemble a candid moment. Russ is good at Instagram. Really good. Russ is better at Instagram than Kanye West is at making your Mom ask you to not use her iTunes account to purchase songs of his.
The images fluctuate. Sometimes it's just the shoes. Sometimes it's the whole look (#donthateonthebrodieandwearitnextweek is far and away this decade's greatest piece of writing). Sometimes it's a video of an all white party, because why not? Sometimes it's a video of him with a towel on his head on a balcony in some unnamed tropic. And sometimes it's just airport swag with the brodie.
His Instagram set the world on fire once more this week at NYFW. He posted this. The next day he posted this. Then this. He walked around New York looking like a ninja. Bee Shapiro with The New York Times wrote a great piece on Westbrook's experience. Some of the highlights, though.
The guy's front row at Rag & Bone shows. Donald Glover raps about cardigans from there so I'm assuming it's at least halfway hip.
He's at an Altuzzara show.
He's talking to the editor of GQ.
He's going to be in an ad for Levi's.
He's done an interview with L'Uomo Vogue.
LA based fashion mag Flaunt featured him on the cover. First time they've ever had an athlete do that.
Again, though, he's sitting next to Anna Wintour at a fashion show. He was her guest. That's like getting to stand on stage right next to Garth Brooks during a Garth Brooks concert.
Russ has looked ridiculous in the past, certainly. Like, very ridiculous. Undoubtedly, he'll look ridiculous again. Several times, probably. But, at least he didn't ever do anything like this. Never forget that. Never.
Keeping that Flaunt pic on the back burner so ten years from now I can use that as my profile pic on whatever replaces Twitter. Also going to incorporate the word "flaunt" into my vocabulary more because I find it a soothing word.
* * *
The world of professional athletics is full of stock answers and pre-programmed responses. Talking about how defense wins championships and you have to play the whole game and it's about the process and one game at a time and I'm just trying to get better every day and so on and so forth and on and on and on.
Any bit of surprise, a reprieve from the monotony, will be welcomed with wide open arms by an internet and a world that enjoys itself some personality. That's why when Russell breaks out his amazing, technicolor short-sleeve button ups the whole of Twitter pops off for the rest of the night. It's something different. It's alien. Something you need a starship to get to.
Sometimes you need to scratch your cheek and hook the thumb. Sometimes you need to look how the white ranger from Power Rangers would look if he was off the clock and just working his day job as Creative Director for Givenchy.
Don't hate on the brodie and wear it next week.

Start your day off right
Cheese and Green Chili Strata
1 8-inch round loaf of crusty sourdough bread, 1-1/4 lbs.
1/4 c. butter, melted and divided
3 c. thinly sliced yellow onion
1 4-oz. can diced green chilies
1 c. nonfat chicken broth, divided
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/2 c. chopped fresh parsley
3/4 c. (3 oz.) shredded gouda or white cheddar cheese
3/4 c. (3 oz.) shredded Jack cheese
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1-1/2 c. nonfat or 1 percent milk
1 egg
1 egg white
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare the bread loaf, using a large serrated knife or bread knife. Slice off the top of the loaf, leaving a base 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 inches high. Using a small serrated knife or grapefruit knife, cut a circle around the perimeter of the loaf between the soft bread and the crust. Hollow out the inside of the soft bread into 1/2 inch cubes to equal 1 c. Reserve remaining soft bread and loaf top for other uses.
Brush 2 Tbsp. of the melted butter over the inside of the hollowed out bread loaf. Place bread loaf shell and bread cubes on baking sheet and bake until lightly toasted, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven; set aside.
Put 1 Tbsp. of the remaining butter in a large nonstick skillet with the onions, chilies, 1/2 c. of the broth, cumin and thyme. Cover and place over high heat, stirring occasionally and replacing lid each time until liquid cooks away, about 5 minutes.
Remove lid and stir mixture until onions begin to lightly brown, about 3 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 c. broth and the parsley. Stir frequently until the liquid evaporates again. Remove from heat and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the cheeses together. Place half of the cheese mixture into the bread shell. Top with the bread cubes, onion chili mixture and the remaining cheese mixture. Set aside.
In another small bowl, mix together the cornstarch, salt and pepper; add milk and whisk until smooth. Add egg and egg white; whisk again until smooth. Pour liquid over bread shell and set aside.
Brush a 12-inch foil square with the remaining 1 Tbsp butter. Center shell on foil and set into an 8- or 9-inch cake pan or springform pan. Press foil lightly against side of crust and fold over rim of bread.
Bake until cheeses are lightly browned and the filling is firm in the center, about 30 minutes. With foil, carefully lift the strata from the pan and slide onto a cutting board or platter. Cut into wedges and serve.
Makes 6 servings.
Breakfast Sundae
3/4 c. various fresh fruit, e.g., blueberries, raspberries, halved seedless grapes, sliced bananas, etc.
3/4 c. (1 6-oz. container), low fat vanilla yogurt
1/4 c. whole grain breakfast cereal (like Grapenuts flakes, Wheaties) or low fat granola
1 large strawberry
Place half of the fruit on bottom of footed, glass dessert dish or small bowl. Top with half the yogurt. Arrange remaining fruit over yogurt. Top with remaining yogurt. Sprinkle cereal on top. Set strawberry in center, as with a sundae. Serve immediately.
Makes 1 serving.
Frittata Balsamico
2 medium red-skinned potatoes, peeled and halved
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 eggs, plus 2 whites
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
Cooking oil spray
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
Cook potatoes in water until done, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large, heavy nonstick skillet, stir onions to separate them into individual rings. Place pan over medium-high heat, cover tightly, and cook onions until they wilt and stew in their juices, about 5 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly colored. Transfer to large bowl and let cool slightly. Wipe out pan.
Drain cooked potatoes well and cut into small cubes. Add to onions.
In a large bowl, beat together eggs and egg whites until well blended. Mix in onion-potato mixture. Mix in cheese, salt and pepper until well combined.
Use cooking oil spray to generously coat saucepan used for onions. Set pan over medium-high heat and heat until hot.
Pour in egg mixture, making sure onions and potatoes are evenly distributed in pan. As eggs set, keep lifting edges with a spatula or mixing spoon, tilting pan so any liquid flows to edges.
Continue cooking over medium heat until set, 12 to 15 minutes.
Slide frittata onto a plate. Place skillet upside down over plate. Using hot pads or mitts, hold both skillet and plate tightly together and invert so frittata is on pan, underside on top. Return to heat. Cook 3 minutes or until cooked through on bottom. Slide frittata onto a serving plate. Cut frittata into 8 wedges. Drizzle vinegar over top, garnish with parsley and serve.
Makes 4 servings.

On the verge of a personal milestone, Gloucester field hockey coach Erin Small maintained a business-as-usual approach.
Not until after her Lions had upended visiting Schalick, 2-1, on Wednesday in a Tri-County Conference match, did Small informed her players that the win was her 100th at the school.
"It's exciting to reach 100 [wins], but I never told the girls," Small said. "I wanted their focus to be on the game. It was a big game for us [because] a lot of people were picking Schalick to win the [Classic] division."

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Walton & Lonsbury Removal Site
The Site at 78 North Avenue in Attleboro, MA houses a 13,500 square foot chromium plating facility formerly operated by Walton & Lonsbury, Inc (W&L). While in operation from 1940-2007, the Site was used to chrome-plate very large and/or long objects such as pistons for large hydraulic equipment or rollers for paper mills. For a time, copper plating operations also took place until the building was remodeled in the 1950s.
A number of chemicals and chemical compounds were used and left as waste in the operations process. From 1940-1970, all wastes generated from the facility discharged into the wetlands located on the southern portion of the property via an underground pipe. After 1970, W&L used a number of different waste disposal techniques that also had environmental consequences on the Site.
Contaminants of Concern:
Contaminants of Concern on this Site include total chromium, hexavalent chromium, lead and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The chromium compounds resulted from the use of chromic acid to perform chrome plating in the plant. Lead is a contaminant of concern because it was used for a variety of operations in the plant including the making of plumbing pieces for the plating process.
Removal Actions:
Beginning on October 19, 2010, EPA will begin to clean-up this 2.7 acre property and to sample nearby properties to identify soil contamination linked to the Site. Those residential properties and adjacent wetlands identified as impacted will also be cleaned-up. This project will take an estimated 18-36 months.
When W&L abandoned the facility in 2007, they left everything behind. The first step in the clean-up is to empty the facility, and then demolish it. Other removal operations include: Dismantling and removing the eight waste tanks on the property (five of which extend between 4-10 feet into the ground); excavating the foundation and contaminated soils on Site; clearing the wooded, wetland south of the Site; removing and/or treating contaminated soils and restoring all impacted properties
What to Expect:
EPA and its contractors will be working behind 8-foot fencing constructed for the project. This fencing will enclose the parking lot of the Walton & Lonsbury Site, which means this lot will not be available as excess parking for Hayward Park users.
While all work is being done, EPA will be monitoring the air quality on and around the Site. Work will be halted if EPA detects contamination in the air. EPA will also conduct soil sampling on the Site after removal actions to confirm the removal of contaminants.
Residents near the Site, and users of Hayward Park should expect to see an increase of truck traffic in the area. Because adjacent properties to the Site are operational industrial properties, truck traffic is not uncommon in this area.
Work operations will be conducted between 7am-7pm Monday-Saturday. Workers will be wearing protective equipment when on Site; this is meant to protect them from any contaminants they may be handling while working.

I'm working on a new site that sells a service but also provides content related to that service. I'm struggling on how to make sure the content doesn't just feel like a marketing ploy for the service. Any examples of sites that have done this successfully?
Looking for good examples of sites that do a good job up-selling (items that are more expensive that what you're viewing) and cross-selling (items that compliment).
I KNOW I've come across great examples, but nothing readily comes to mind!!
So, try as I might, being a new UX developer, I'm trying to find reputable data about reputable companies who saved/made [insert actual dollar figure], and how usability testing was responsible. I was actually told at work today that "there is no way you can prove that usability testing makes money." It's a personal challenge now.

Many thanks for the kind words of support, encouragement and ideas as well.
I think I had been a bit negative initially - I cant do this because- too old- too heavy - no time etc. That sort of thing.
Now I am lighter and fitter it will be easier to get motivated again. I went back to the primal fitness ebook and instead of saying to myself, pull up bars - what are these -never seen one in my life- I thought - lets try the squat exercise against a wall and then the push up one against a wall . We will see how things shape out! I will report back at a later date.

Ring flash
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A ring flash, invented by Lester A. Dine in 1952, originally for use in dental photography,[citation needed] is a circular photographic flash that fits around the lens, especially for use in macro (or close-up) photography. Its most important characteristic is providing even illumination with few shadows visible in the photograph, as the origin of the light is very close to (and surrounds) the optical axis of the lens. When the subject is very close to the camera, as is the case in macro photography, the distance of the flash from the optical axis becomes significant. For objects close to the camera, the size of the ring flash is significant and so the light encounters the subject from many angles in the same way that it does with a conventional flash with soft box. This has the effect of further softening any shadows.
Ring flashes are also very popular in portrait and fashion photography. In addition to softening shadows and creating circular highlights in the model's eyes, the unique way that a ring flash renders light gives the model a shadowy halo that is a common feature of fashion photography.
A macro ring flash usually consists of two parts:
- a power and control unit mounted on a hot shoe, and
- a circular flash unit mounted on the front of a lens.
Power is supplied by batteries in the shoe-mount unit, and a cord relays the power and control signals to the circular flash unit.
For larger ring flash units like those used for fashion photography, power is usually delivered by a power pack which can be battery or AC powered. Some ring flashes, however, like ones made by Paul C. Buff, Inc. under the "AlienBees" trademark,[1] are constructed like mono lights where the light and power are contained in one unit.
Within the circular flash unit, there can be one or more flash tubes, each of which can be turned on or off individually. Some ring flashes have focusing lamps for helping low-light focusing. Also available are ring flash diffusers, which have no light source of their own, but instead mount in front of a conventional flash unit and transmit the light to a ring-shaped diffuser at the front of the lens.
There are also passive light modifiers, which will shape the light from an ordinary (shoe mount) flash into that of a ring flash. The adapters use a series of diffusers and reflectors to "bend" the light in an arc around the lens axis. The light is then emitted from that arc. This maintains any through-the-lens (TTL) lighting functions that may be shared by the camera and flash, as the actual light source has not changed.
Ring flash as a lighting technique has enjoyed a strong resurgence over the last few years,[when?] as photographers realize that it is far more useful than the one-look way[clarification needed] in which it has been used for decades. Specifically, it is now being used primarily as a fill light to raise the illumination level of shadows created by other, off-axis lights. It is considered[by whom?] to be a particularly good source of fill light, because it does not create harsh shadows.

Ever since I was little, I've been fascinated with league standings and sports statistics. I especially like baseball because of the intricate web of numbers that make up the history of the sport. Running has it share of numbers and statistics: pace per mile, finish times, and personal records, but for the most part it lacks standings, and the opportunity to judge your performance against others over time. That's where race series come in:
A race series consists of several events in which you earn points based on your placement in each race. Over the course of the series your points are added up and compared to all the other participants. There are standings, just like baseball, and you can move up or down in the rankings over time.
Series reward consistancy and durability. And for me they are a lot of fun, because unlike the feeling (and necessity) of living in the moment in an individual race, a series has a past and future. You can look back to see what you've accomplished and anticipate what remains to be done. You can calculate how to you need to finish in race X in order to move up to position Y in the standings.
If this sounds like fun to you too, here are some race series that may interest you:
The Oregon Road Runners Club's 10k Series: Sign up for the series of eight races for $100 and save over the individual race fees, or sign up for each race individually. There is no minimum number of races required, but the more you run, the more points you'll earn. This year there is a walkers category, participation awards, a special red 10k Series duffel bag for all entrants, and an exclusive drawing at each event just for series participants. Hey, I think I might have just talked myself into this one!
The USATF-Oregon Grand Prix Series: I've run this series, with races of various distances located throughout the state, the past couple years. You have to be an Oregon Association member of USATF to be eligible, but the generous series prize money is a strong lure to join. If you are 40 or over you won't have to compete with the younger racers, and the master results are age-graded, so a speedy 80-year-old can still be in the hunt (I know because two years ago I was edged out by one!).
Most running clubs offer some form of a race series with points standings to their members, from the ORRC's and Clark County Running Club's overall, masters, and age-group awards based on results of their own races, to Team Red Lizard's Summer Race Series which awards points based on selected public events.
When I was coming back from illness in 1995, I decided to participate in the ORRC's 25th anniversary race series, in which you earned points simply for finishing each race. It was non-competitive, and every runner who reached 25 points by the end of the year received a plaque. Earning one of those plaques was my running goal that year, and I was proud to accomplish it. But at the awards banquet I was honestly surprised to find I had also won my age group for the year! I was hooked, and ran as many ORRC races as I could from then on, and managed to win a few overall and masters plaques along the way.
The beauty of a series is that while you may be overmatched in one race (a trail half marathon, say), the next race might be your specialty (a road 5k), and if you stick to it and persist, things will average out, and you may finish higher than you thought possible. No matter how high or low you finish in the standings, though, you will have a great time competing with the same familiar faces, and be able to look back at the end of the series with pride and a great sense of accomplishment.

Share the post "Shoot to Thrill: Gretchen gripes about 'grip-and-grins' and offers a Pelican memory card case to caption winner"
I am griping about grip-and-grin fish photos in this installment of Shoot to Thrill. I am also giving away a great Pelican memory card case so your memories and memory cards can stay safe and dry while you are out on the water. This little treasure case will go to the reader that submits the best caption for the fishy portrait of bowfisher Ashley Allison. How to judge?
We all know that I am little buggy about trophy photographs, whether it be mammal, fowl or this time of year – fish. I'd like to share a few tips with you about getting some great fish trophy photos that will become treasured family portraits, rather than just snapshots.
There are three basic types of fish trophy photos: in the water, out of the water and harvest. Each type comes with its own challenge and each with some simple things to remember.
Always think conservation before creativity. Some fish, such as the huge sturgeons, should never be removed from the water, and in fact it may not be legal to so. In that case you are going to have to don your waders, and work out into the water to do the photographing. If you absolutely are not going to wade out into the water, use a wider angle lens to capture the angler gently floating the fish on the surface. Remember that in all fish photos it's best to have the sun at the photographer's back or at 45 degree angle and as always – sunglasses off – hat brims up – we want to see those smiling faces! If you have fill flash available, it can be invaluable during bright sunny days.
It's important to be conservation minded when doing catch-and-release fish out-of-water photos. The angler should always have wet hands when handling the fish, and keep it out of water no longer than absolutely necessary. The rule of thumb I use is no longer than I can hold my breath. Hold the fish properly for the species, some can be held lip style, some should have their whole body supported. At all costs avoid the dreaded grip and grin, with the fish held straight out in front of the angler in death grip with both hands , yes, it makes the fish look larger , but it's a trick we are all on to and it also makes the anglers hands look abnormally large. I ask the angler to bend her arms at a 45, with elbows touching her sides or abdomen. That still gives a good separation of fish and angler yet doesn't make things seem disproportionate.
Harvest – If your fish are going to be harvested, you have a bit more leeway. You can actually take the time to clean up the fish and the angler and get a little creative with posing. Have the angler admire her catch for the day, arrange the tackle combination used alongside the fish, get in close. You still need to remember to work fast and keep the fish wet. The longer the fish is out of water, the more the colors begin to fade. You want to capture those sparkling drops of water on a brightly colored fish.
Don't just limit yourself to trophy photos when fishing, snap photos throughout the trip of anglers casting, close ups of rods, reels, bows, netting a fish. Capture the memories of the entire trip! And, don't forget to comment and leave us a caption for this photo of Ashley Allison and her carp. Contest ends Aug. 19.

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- If you were thinking January was a goofy month for weather, you were right.
Even with the near record-high temperatures on Saturday that soared into the 70s, the average temperatures for the past month were about three degrees cooler than normal.
And snow? The average snowfall for Huntsville in January is 1.3 inches but the city chilled under 12 inches of snow over the past month, according to the National Weather Service.
According to data compiled by meteorologist Kurt Weber, the average high temperature in January was 45.7 degrees and the average low was 27.7 degrees. And the average January temperature was 36.7 degrees.
That made it the 11th-coldest January in Huntsville and the coldest since the average temperature was 35.8 degrees in 2000.
So what's going on? Is it, perhaps, global warming?
"You talk about touching a hot potato," meteorologist Chris White said with a laugh.
White cautioned that conclusions about the touchy topic of global warming shouldn't be drawn because of a cold snap or a heat wave.
"It's a very large scale temperature phenomenon that acts over decades," White said of global warming. "There is lots of noise in between. You're still going to get these up and down motions."
If not global warming, then what?
White pointed to a couple of "large scale features in the atmosphere" that have a lesser profile than El Niño or La Niña.
The villians in Huntsville's cold winter, White said, are Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation.
Basically, they are working in concert to usher cold air from the Arctic or Siberia in what White described as a "negative phase."
"During the negative phase, what that favors is a lot of air mass is coming down from the polar regions, down through Canada and into the eastern United States and a lot of times into the Southeast," White said.
"Because we have the pipeline of cold air spilling sometimes from Siberia and the cold Arctic, the air doesn't modify (warm) a lot. We end up being colder than normal. We keep this northwesterly flow going."
As White spoke Monday afternoon, he was asked to impersonate a ground hog two days before Punxsutawney Phil declares a late or early spring by checking for his shadow.
White took a more scientific approach, checking the February forecast for the Southeast by the Climate Prediction Center.
"It does look like, as far as February temperatures go, it doesn't seem like they are able to indicate a clear trend for our area," White said. "Basically, their forecast is, 'It could be anything.' "

An intense page-turner!,
This review is from: Still Missing (Hardcover)
This story is recounted through Annie's therapy sessions. So as the reader, we know from the start that Annie survives, but this doesn't make this book any less suspenseful. Actually, I'm not sure if my rapid beating heart could have taken it if we hadn't known if she survives. Chevy Stevens gets so deep into the psychological trauma and turmoil that it was hard not to think that this wasn't based on a true story. It took me a while to warm up to Annie because her voice is so harsh and bitter. But as you get further into her imprisonment and the brain washing that happened to her, you start to understand why Annie is the way she is now and just how powerful PTSD can be. Even though she isn't necessarily likeable, it didn't make me any less invested in the book.

A central Pennsylvania jury has convicted a man of second-degree murder and robbery in the shooting death of a homeless man authorities said was targeted as he was sleeping in his car.
Twenty-four-year-old Shamar McCowin faces a mandatory life term without possibility of parole after York County jurors convicted him Friday in the November 2012 death of 46-year-old Edward Green.
Authorities alleged that McCowin and another man were looking for someone to rob in York and spotted Green, a restaurant cook living in his car behind a house where some friends lived.
Prosecutors alleged that McCowin opened the door and shot Green, and the robbers took off in his car and later torched the vehicle.
Defense attorney Marc Semke, who blamed the shooting on McCowin's co-defendant, says he will appeal.
