MIAMI – A Sunrise, Fla., man was arrested in Boynton Beach, Fla., June 14 for sexually enticing a minor over the Internet. The charges resulted from an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the South Florida Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
According to court documents, Gary K. Schatz, 59, used an online social networking application to contact and attempt to meet who he believed to be a 15-year-old boy for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity. The individual he contacted was actually an undercover law enforcement officer, posing as a minor as part of a joint investigation to locate online predators. During an exchange of text messages with the undercover officer, Schatz offered to bring his iPad so they could watch pornographic movies together.
Schatz could face a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence and a statutory maximum penalty of up to life in prison to be followed by a minimum of five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release. In addition, he faces lifetime registration as a sex offender.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide HSI initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders and child sex traffickers. HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678.

(Background here.)
That's pretty much the most important thing that you should take from neo-Puritan* Susan Feinberg's decision to make a scene in a restaurant by accosting (drunkenly?) Rep. Paul Ryan's choice in alcoholic beverages (which he paid for on his personal card**): the man subscribes to the "20% is the new 15%" rule of tipping in this wonderful new economy that Reid, Pelosi, and (after 2008) Obama has wished upon us. Which I do myself. After all, aside from the aforementioned bad economy waitstaff don't really have that great a job. I mean, at any point they may be called upon to... I don't know, handle low rent, belligerent drunks who are accosting folks who are just trying to peacefully enjoy their dinners. You know. Trash behavior.
Out of curiosity, Susan Feinberg: how much did you tip your server? After all, as Mediate - MEDIATE, forsooth! - noted, you're able to afford dinner at that restaurant, too.

*"Neo-Puritan" because I suspect that Prof. Feinberg may lack some of the laudable qualities of the originals.
**For the record: I don't care what they do in other - and usually lesser*** - countries, particularly the ones that are neo-socialist parasitic hellholes. In America a man is allowed and entitled to spend his own money on overpriced wine if he so chooses, and he should have a reasonable expectation of being permitted to do so in peace and quiet without having a neo-Puritan self-appointed political mutaween hassling him over it. If this is a problem for the Activist Left... move.
***While America is of course the greatest country in both the explored universe and in the historical record, there are nevertheless select nations that may be safely accorded status as being effectively equivalent in worth.

IN MANY ways, Ilya Bryzgalov was the same person on Tuesday that we came to know over the last year, as he held court in the middle of the Flyers' dressing room surrounded by cameras and microphones.
Bryzgalov spoke about his love for outer space, his visit to a Russian cosmonaut training center during the lockout, even his fetal position in a space simulator. He joked about teammate Scott Hartnell's fiery, out-of-control curls and full-length "lockout" beard.
"He looked great, he was beautiful," Bryzgalov said. "He's like from the movie 'Cast Away.' We need to buy a ball for him, his best buddy, Wilson."

Go Behind the Scenes of Guitarist's Center Block Photo Shoot
Posted: September 25, 2013
For the September issue of Guitarist, there is a feature on some of the new Gretsch Center Block guitars.
As such, the music magazine held a photo shoot with model Kimberley Holladay. Photographer Philip Sowels had Holladay pose in various outfits with several of the new models, including the single- and double-cutaway Center Block Falcons.
As Guitarist put it, "In what seems to be one of those no-brainer, should-have-done- it-50-years-ago ideas, Gretsch has released a new range of guitars with a solid lump of wood through their middles, slimmed bodies and updated hardware for practicality's sake."
You can get the issue here to see what Guitarist thinks, and footage from the photo shoot can be seen below.

Lisa Marie Presley Brings Both Storm and Grace to Americana Music Festival
Posted: September 23, 2013
Lisa Marie Presley might be a diminutive figure, but she sure knows how to work a stage.
During her performance Friday night at 3rd and Lindsley as a part of Nashville's Americana Music Festival, Presley didn't need bombastic theatrics. Her sultry presence and mesmerizing voice demand attention, which she received from the passionate audience filling the intimate space.
Walking out amid heavy distortion from guitarist and musical director Michael Lockwood, Presley donned tight black leather pants and a dark fitted double-breasted jacket. Immediately, her unmistakable voice curled out on to the crowd like wisps of smoke as she launched into "So Long" from her 2012 album Storm and Grace.
Noting how honored she was to appear at the Americana Festival, Presley then drew cheers with her latest single "Over Me," a rambling dose of parlor piano and Lockwood's twangy accents from a striking Gretsch Red Penguin.
Presley slowed down the proceedings by pulling out "Weary," another Storm and Grace number that had several fans clutching their chests and swaying back and forth.
The singer/songwriter threw a curveball by changing the single "Idiot" off the 2005 album Now What into a swampy, growling takedown of a previous relationship. Sitting on a stool next to a resonator-toting Lockwood, Presley noted that it was probably the meanest song she's ever written, and she is probably right.
"You're an idiot, and I hate your guts," was one of the nicer lines, let's just say. Members of the audience could clearly relate because it earned big applause.
As the evening wound down, Presley kicked up the energy with "Un-Break," turning to unleash a tribal beat on a pair of glittering drums while Lockwood tore at his custom-painted Chet Atkins guitar. "That was pure silliness," Presley laughed when the percussive thump came to a stop.
"Sticks and Stones" was Presley's finale, and she began it in style with an a capella intro before the band joined in.
With Presley again slamming the drums and Luis Maldonado's bass reaching new fuzzy heights, the 45-minute show was a perfect storm – gentle at times, but always darkly looming before surging over the crowd.

Bear's Den Step in as Surprise Guest at Mercy Lounge
Posted: September 20, 2013
London's folk-rock trio Bear's Den was a late addition to the Americana Music festival, stepping up as Thursday night's "surprise" at Nashville's Mercy Lounge when the original scheduled artist was forced to cancel.
"We weren't really supposed to be tonight's special guest — we are just filling in," noted banjoist/guitarist Joey Haynes.
With their rich instrumentation, sincere lyrics and three-part hooky harmonies, it didn't take long for Bear's Den to win over the Music City crowd, opening with the beautiful and endearing title track to their debut EP, Agape.
It was "Pompeii" and "Mother," with their heartbreaking stories about family, that left one man up in the front row shaking his head in wonder before exclaiming, "Holy Cow!"
Lead vocalist/guitarist Andrew Davie plucked a few quiet notes on his acoustic guitar to start off "Pompeii," a tale of a father and son dealing with the loss of their wife and mother. The song slowly builds with percussionist Kevin Jones switching over to bass and lastly, an extended banjo solo to lead into its final, hopeful refrain:
"Don't cry, hold your head up, she would want you to, she would want you to."
Later, Haynes leveraged his pedal board to eek atmospheric and ambient sounds out of his Gretsch electric guitar for the intro to "Sahara," a new and haunting ballad that will appear on October's upcoming EP, Without/Within.
Bear's Den has really captured the minds and hearts of audiences around the world, having come up in the same London scene that spawned Mumford and Sons and Laura Marling. It is fitting, then, that Bear's Den has played several shows in support of Mumford and Sons in recent months, gaining buzz as they've gone along.
Bear's Den has a headlining tour of Europe in November, and with many of the dates already sold out, tickets are obviously in high demand.
Judging from Thursday night's showing at the Mercy Lounge, it is a fitting classification.
"The Waters"
"Don't Let the Sun"
"Writing on the Wall"
"Bad Blood"
"Hard Life"

Patrick Stump Discusses His New Gretsch Signature Model
Posted: September 19, 2013
Fall Out Boy is back and better than ever in 2013, and so is singer/guitarist Patrick Stump's signature Gretsch guitar model, the G5135CVT-PS Stump-O-Matic Patrick Vaughn Stump Signature Electromatic® CVT, as seen (and heard) below.
In this video clip, Stump himself gives you a guided tour of the guitar, which now features a white finish with gray "competition" stripes for a cleanly elegant look with a dash of attitude. In a variety of styles, he gets a variety of sounds from its tonally versatile three-pickup design with special electronics—going from crushing full-on distortion one minute to sharply clean funk-style rhythm tone the next, and even convincingly rich acoustic-like tone, too. And watch as he "plays" the kill switch …

JP Morgan appoints new finance chief to replace Braunstein
JP Morgan Chase on Monday named Marianne Lake, chief financial officer of its consumer unit, to succeed Douglas Braunstein as the CFO of the largest US bank early next year.
The New York company said that Braunstein - among those facing outside scrutiny over the bank's handling of a trading mess earlier this year that led to a $6bn-plus loss - will become a vice-chairman following the 43-year-old Lake's transition to the CFO position.
Unlike Braunstein, who had reported to co-chief operating Officer Matt Zames, Lake will report to chief executive James Dimon and join the company's operating committee, an elite group with 14 members representing key decision-makers.
Other candidates for the job included commodities chief Blythe Masters and Lou Rauchenberger, a co-chief administrative officer of the company's corporate and investment bank, sources said.

AZentertain: Arizona Gold Rush: Old Hat Mining
The start of the gold rush of the 1880s at Old Hat
By January 1882, the Old Hat mining district was producing ore:
And another article discussed the possibikity of a railroad through what was called the Santa Catarinas. This railroad would follow the route of the Santa Catarina Stage Coach:
The name of Santa Catarina was changed in the beginning of the 900s, probably because of a similar name for a river in Mexico.
Another early references to explain the origin of the Old Hat name was published in 1903:
Mining got its steam in the Old Hat in February 1900 when
But, less than two months later
In July 1900, it was reported that
Then, in September of 1900
In November 1900, "R. N. Leatherwood who has the Apiche claim in the Old Hat district, Catalina mountains, reports that Geo. Metz, agent for Condon, New York, has located the hoisting plant on the Condon properties." 7.
By January 1903, it was reported that Leatherwood is enthusiatic over the future of the Apache, his property in the Old Hat district north of the city. 8
Plans for a railroad line expansion were abdandoned in 1904 because of pressure by the Southern Pacific Company. The Phoenix and Eastern Railroad rached a point opposite of the mouth of the San Pedro River. A line was planned to extend south along the east side of the San Pedro River to Benson. 9
By 1907, the Apache Group was productive.
In 1909, it was announed that a "ledge six feet wide and running 60 per center copper and $6 in gold is the report from the Old Hat district in th Santa Catalina mountains, on property owned by William Reed of Prescott. 11
Two years later, in 1911, it was reported that the Reid (sic) mining district has produced some excitement
In October, 1911, the Old Hat district gained new owners.
By January 1913, four of the claims in the Old Hat District changed hands.
By the time Arizona became a state, in May 1912, mining in Southern Arizona had already gained a foothold.
The Old Hat claims again changed hands in May 1913
Three months later, a brief article reported that
But, by October 1913, the Copper Queen was idle, even though there were still reserves of copper ore available..
A few days later, an article titled "the Prospects for Early Railroad construction into the Old Hat causes immediate movement," revealed the plans for the rialroad further.
By the end of November 1913, the proprty in the Old Hat district was in acquisition by the Phelps Dodge company.
By April 1915 the "Old Hat district covers an area of 25,000 acres, with an average thickness of 150 feet. it has been very difficult to determine the value of this, owning to the fact that the gold is not equally distributed." 22

Looks like Mama Leone's left a note on the door, saying, "Sonny moved down to Davie." The yang to Mama Leone's yin, Papa Leone's (8922 Pine Ridge Plaza, Davie, 9544758877) takes the pizza recipe from the original New York tourist trap -- of Billy Joel's "Anthony's Song" fame -- and delivers it free to local residents. But the real claim to éclat lies in Papa's specials: Monday is the large "works," which includes pepperoni, sweet Italian sausage, and Canadian bacon, for $12.99; Tuesday is "Papa's fiesta," a large cheese pizza with choice of two toppings, garlic rolls, and a two-liter bottle of soda, for $11.99; and Thursday is a large garden pizza for $12.49. Movin' out never tasted so good.

So refreshing! This would really hit the spot in the summertime. I can't wait to try it then!
Lovely drink. Syd. I love grapefruit juice, and the addition of the grape juice was great. I used homemade grenadine. This is going to be fixed frequently, this summer. Thnx for posting, Syd. Made for PRMR cooking tag event.
I was really surprised by this drink Syd. I truly thought it was going to be too tart but overall it wasn't. It has a tartness to it of course but it is not overwhelming. Quite refreshing served over ice. Easily halved the recipe to serve two. Thanks for sharing this in the 123 Hits tag game.

The course is aimed at professionals, academics, students, and enthusiasts and covers a diverse range of topics, including mining, metal production, experimental reconstruction, field methods, to the analysis of metallic artefacts. Lectures typically cover both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and will involve artefact handling sessions as well as demonstrations with analytical instruments such as a scanning electron microscope with attached energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF). Past summer schools have been held as far away as Beijing and at times have had an overall theme, but they tend to cover as broad a range of topics as possible.

Lithium-ion Battery Powered Miele Hyrbid Vacuum
The Miele Hybrid seems especially suited for cleaning hard to reach/navigate spaces like the stairs or while vacuuming the car, since you no longer have to worry about reaching far enough or getting tangled up like a traditional plug-in model. It takes about 3 hours of charging time for 20 minutes of battery operation, and the battery charges any time you're plugged into an outlet. As typical of a Miele, its cleaning performance is top notch, with inclusion of an AirClean filter and 9 levels of filtration HEPA-grade disposable HyClean FJM bags and variety of hose tools for a myriad of household and around the house cleaning tasks. Everything sounds great and you're ready to shell out for this wonder vacuum? We were too, until we noted the $1,061, reminding us why we don't own a Miele ourselves yet also despite our rabid desire to join the cult...ahem...club. [via Appliancist]

Roxanne Williams Launches Campaign for Ward Six Seat on San Bernardino City Council
SAN BERNARDINO, CA– Educator, community advocate, and city Parks and Recreation Commissioner Roxanne Williams is running for the Ward Six seat on the San Bernardino City Council. Williams will be a voice for working families. As a member of the city council, she will fight to create jobs in San Bernardino, and restore fiscally sound management to the city –including improved basic services, stopping the threats of the closure of our community centers, libraries and parks, and fixing the potholes and street lights.
"I'm running because San Bernardino can do better," said Williams. "I've proven that I know how to get results. We can be a model community for southern California. We must fix up our neighborhoods and make them safer, bring in good jobs, and reinvest in our children — but we can do none of that unless we restore our fiscal house. We need a new vision for San Bernardino and the 6th ward that will help our families."
Williams has assisted in building a playground in a park on the West side, and identified unmet needs as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner. As a bilingual Spanish speaker, she has worked with leaders in both the African-American and Latino communities to engage students and parents, helped coach small business people in three local Chambers of Commerce, and empowered neighbors from several blocks to form their own neighborhood watch programs.
Local community leaders, including Hardy Brown, II, and Sherman Garnett, San Bernardino County Trustees, and small businessman Shab El Awar have pledged their support.
"I have worked with Roxanne for the past three years and have seen her dedication to parent and student engagement for residents on the West side. Her passion to see student success shows by how hard she is always willing to work," said Hardy Brown, II.
Williams was a Teacher of the Year in 2001, was a Top 10 Teacher in 2011, nominated for the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST), and
continues to work as a Program Specialist in San Bernardino City Unified School District. As a single mother with five children, ages 13 to 24 years old, she knows howhard San Bernardino families work and what it's like to struggle. She also knows how to succeed in tough moment.
"We have so much potential in San Bernardino, but we can't lift our people up if we don't fix our finances," said Williams. "I've worked on budgets and finance throughout my private and volunteer career—and I served on my church board for 14 years. I'll be ready on day one to tackle the big problems our community faces."

LA Sparks Go 0-3 On Road Trip!
By Johnni Matthews
The Los Angeles Sparks ended a tough three game road trip in New York on Sunday against the New York Liberty losing 79-70 in another hard fought battle with only eight players available to run on the hardwood. With All-Star, Nneka Ogwumike back from injury, starting her second straight game another veteran All-Star teammate, Kristi Toliver made her debut this season for the Sparks leading her team in scoring with a career high 30 points on 9-15 from the field. Oliver was 3-5 from the long range three ball and a perfect 9-9 from the charity stripe. Jantel Lavender, the most consistent Sparks player this season had another strong game with 14 points and 6 rebounds.
It was a very competitive game for thirty five minutes of the forty minute game as the Liberty took control in the last 5:07 minutes of the game. The game was tied at 63 a piece with 5:07 in the fourth quarter, but the Sparks had another melt down as the Liberty outscored the Sparks 16-7! As one Sparks commentator said, "The Sparks ran out of gas; their out of town and out of luck!"
Guard, Sugar Rodgers was special for the Liberty with a team high 23 points. Sugar got help from teammates, Tina Charles and Tanisha Wright respectively with 14 and 12 points.
The win kept the New York Liberty above .500 with a 5-4 record, while the LA Sparks head home 0-7 to get acquainted with each other and regroup to get ready for the San Antonio Stars who come to town on Thursday, July 2 to play the Sparks. It is a 7:30 p.m. tip off from Staples Center.

Vincent grad Harden signs with CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats
Erie native Donte Harden has signed a contract with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League.
Harden, a Strong Vincent High School graduate and Ohio University product, signed with the CFL team on Saturday. The 5-foot 11-inch, 189-pound running back spent rookie camp with the Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints in 2012 but did not make a roster.
Terms of the deal were not released.
In 38 games at Ohio, Harden carried the ball 391 times for 1,947 yards and nine TDs. He also caught 48 passes for 479 yards and four TDs and returned 62 kicks for 1,405 yards and one TD. Harden also set the school record with 1,873 all-purpose yards in 2011 and was named to the All-MAC third team as a running back and kickoff returner.
Harden was also a standout at Strong Vincent, rushing for 986 yards and four touchdowns as a senior.
Hamilton opens the preseason at Montreal on June 13 before a preseason home game June 20 against Winnipeg. Winnipeg features Erie native Jovon Johnson, along with former Mercyhurst University players Ian Wild and Trevor Kennedy. Hamilton begins the regular season at Toronto on June 28.

Monday, 6 June 2011
Where once the British set out for new fields to conquer, they now set out for new cultural nadirs to reach. And it must be admitted that, in the latter search, they show considerable ingenuity as well as determination. In the field of popular vulgarity they are unmatched in the world. Just when you think that their childish lavatorialism can descend no further, along come their future Queen's sister's buttocks to prove you wrong. No feeling for the person to whom the buttocks belong (if ownership is quite the relationship one has to one's buttocks), no sense of national or personal dignity restrains them. The British are a nation of playground sniggerers who insist, in the name of freedom of expression, that their sniggers not only be heard but broadcast. They are like children who think excretion the best joke in the world and who are in the process of discovering sex.
Of course, vulgarity has always played a large part in British culture; and this will give rise to the 'twas-ever-thus argument with which the British intelligentsia reacts to any unpleasant phenomenon in contemporary society that is drawn to their attention: for if everything was always the same, nothing is anything to worry about. In this instance, 'twas ever thus means that do not have to court the ridicule of your peers by being thought prudish or blimpish. Best, then, not to protest, or even to join in.
Vulgarity is valuable in a culture when it serves to puncture pretension, when it recalls the powerful, the cultivated, the aesthetes and the intellectuals to their fundamental identity with the rest of mankind. Gillray, in his treatment of royalty, was extremely vulgar; for example, his famous cartoon, Fashionable Contrasts; - or – the Duchess's Little Shoe Yielding to the Magnitude of the Duke's Foot was about as sexually suggestive, and deflationary of pretension and ridiculous rhetoric, as it is possible for a cartoon to be. But there are important differences between the vulgarity of Gillray and that of most of the commentary on Miss Middleton's buttocks.
First Gillray was very funny (though, oddly enough, few visitors to the most recent exhibition of his work at the Royal Academy laughed, as if Art and Laughter were polar opposites or even enemies); second his work was of intrinsic artistic value; third, he was almost always making a serious, if not necessarily correct or accurate, point; and fourth, he was working in a society that valued elegance and refinement, such that his vulgarity was in genuine contrast to something else. But where vulgarity is without wit, inartistic, pointless and in contrast to nothing because of its own complete cultural dominance, it is merely a manifestation of shallowness and stupidity. And since there is no reason to suppose that the contemporary British are less intelligent than their forebears, or than the people of other nations, their vulgar present-day culture consists of, and requires, the willing suspension of their intelligence. In other words, it is ideological.
One of the interesting features of the commentary, both printed and on the internet, on the glory of Miss Middleton's buttocks was the highly Americanised language (and spelling) in which it was couched. If it had emerged from a trailer park in Iowa it would hardly have been any different. The conclusion is clear: the British are now a nation of trailer-trash Americans. They have the vices of the Americans, but none of their virtues.
When Orwell wrote his famous essay on the postcards of Donald McGill, he called them 'a harmless rebellion against virtue;' they were always funny and sometimes genuinely witty. He concluded, I think rightly: 'The corner of the human heart that they speak for might easily manifest itself in worse forms, and I for one should be sorry to see them vanish.' The corner has become, in Britain, nearly the whole. There is nothing in modern British vulgarity that I would miss if it were to disappear from the face of the earth.

The sys admin's daily grind: Siege
Siege Warfare
The siege of Troy is said to have taken 10 years, ending only after Odysseus introduced a wooden horse into the mix. Charly is planning a siege, too, and the target is his own web server. Of course, he doesn't have 10 years to complete the task, and Odysseus isn't on his team.
When contemplating my Apache server, I'm reminded of the mythical sea creature Scylla, which wiped out no fewer than six of Odysseus's men on his way home from Troy. My server's Worker MPM can devour multiple requests in one fell swoop. But where's the limit? How many threads do I need to configure to achieve maximum performance? And how many threads are just overkill?
Stress Test
With the use of the attack tool Siege [1], I will try to answer these questions with a stress test. Siege supports two modes of attack. The first simulates human web-surfing behavior, which explains the gaps of three seconds between individual access instances.
In the second mode, benchmark mode, these gaps are dropped and Siege incessantly throws requests at the server. To make the server sweat, Siege fields a configurable army of users – 10 by default, but you can use the following parameter to increase the size of the virtual vanguard until either the web server cries mercy or the attackers run out of system resources:
Which Way to Troy?
How does Siege know which server to attack? Again, there are two options. The parameter
lets you enter a URL that Siege will reload repeatedly. The option
is more interesting in that I can add an arbitrarily long list of links to the file and Siege will attack them one after another. The --reps=<number> parameter lets me specify how many times Siege should repeat the stress test.
Also, I can set --internet to tell Siege not to request the pages in the order specified in the URL file, but to use a random order instead, which is far more realistic.
Battle Over
To prevent the test going on indefinitely, it makes sense to set the --time= parameter to limit the test run time.
The attack stops at the end of this time, even if the loops configured via the --reps= parameter have not been completed.
After finishing its task, Siege shows a summary of the results (see Figure 1).

Agents of Innocence: A Novelby David Ignatius
Now back in print: the "superlative spy novel" (New York Times) by the author of the red-hot thriller A Firing Offense. Agents of Innocence is the book that established David Ignatius's reputation as a master of the novel of contemporary espionage. Into the treacherous world of shifting alliances and arcane subterfuge comes idealistic CIA man Tom Rogers. Ordered to penetrate the PLO and recruit a high-level operative, he soon learns the heavy price of innocence in a time and place that has no use for it.
America and the Worldby David Ignatius Zbigniew Brzezinski Brent Scowcroft
America's status as a world power remains at a historic turning point. The strategies employed to win the wars of the twentieth century are no longer working, and the US must contend with the changing nature of power in a globalized world.In America and the World, two of the most respected figures in American foreign policy, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, dissect the challenges facing the US today: the Middle East, Russia, and China, among others. In spontaneous conversations the two authors explore their agreements and disagreements. Defining the center of responsible opinion on American foreign policy, America and the World is an essential primer on a host of urgent issues at a time when our leaders' decisions could determine how long our nation remains a superpower.
The Bank of Fear: A Novelby David Ignatius
"Sizzling...engrossing all the way."--Los Angeles Times Book Review Hit men stalk computer analyst Lina Alwen and financial investigator Sam Hoffman in pursuit of the knowledge the pair may have regarding a late Iraqi dictator's billions. From London to Switzerland, and from Baghdad to the mysterious corners of the just-budding Internet, this spy thriller covers the map to uncover a world of corruption.
Bloodmoney: A Novel of Espionageby David Ignatius
"You emerge from its pages as if from a top-level security briefing--confident that you have been let in on the deepest secrets."--Washington Post Someone in Pakistan is killing the members of a new CIA unit trying to buy peace with America's enemies. It falls to Sophie Marx, a young officer with a big chip on her shoulder, to figure out who's doing the killing and why. Unfortunately for Sophie, nothing is quite what it seems. This is a theater of violence and revenge, in which the last act is one that Sophie could not have imagined.
Body of Lies: A Novelby David Ignatius
The novel made into the major motion picture released October 2008, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe: "Clever [and] well-paced, Body of Lies is hard to put down."--John Miller, Wall Street Journal CIA soldier Roger Ferris has come out of Iraq with a shattered leg and an intense mission-- to penetrate the network of a master terrorist known only as "Suleiman." Ferris's plan is inspired by a masterpiece of British intelligence during World War II: He prepares a body of lies, literally the corpse of an imaginary CIA officer who appears to have accomplished the impossible by recruiting an agent within the enemy's ranks.This scheme binds friend and foe in a web of extraordinary subtlety and complexity. When it begins to unravel, Ferris finds himself flying blind into a hurricane. His only hope is the urbane head of Jordan's intelligence service. But can Ferris trust him?
The Director: A Novelby David Ignatius
A New York Times Bestseller. "If you think cybercrime and potential worldwide banking meltdown is a fiction, read this sensational thriller."--Bob Woodward, Politico Graham Weber has been the director of the CIA for less than a week when a Swiss kid in a dirty T-shirt walks into the American consulate in Hamburg and says the agency has been hacked, and he has a list of agents' names to prove it. This is the moment a CIA director most dreads. Like the new world of cyber-espionage from which it's drawn, The Director is a maze of double dealing, about a world where everything is written in zeroes and ones--and nothing can be trusted.
A Firing Offenseby David Ignatius
This book, written by a respected journalist, is as fresh as tomorrow's headlines and as relevant as today's news. Eric Truell is a rising star young reporter for the new York Mirror. Yet, despite the fact that it is "a firing offense", he becomes increasingly entangled with the CIA and International espionage and corruption. Where is the line between "journalistic sources" and "intelligence gathering"? Where is the line between patriotism and professional journalistic ethics? If you read this book, you may not find the answers to these questions, but you will have read a fine, exciting book.
A Firing Offense: A Novelby David Ignatius
"A dynamic thriller with the coolest, smartest journalist that fiction ever produced."--Ben Bradlee, Washington Post When rising-star reporter Eric Truell accepts information from a maverick CIA agent, he becomes enmeshed in an international trade war in which even his own newspaper may be an unsuspecting participant. When Eric's sources tell him there is a spy inside the newsroom, he is tempted to cross a dangerous professional line and risk his career--possibly even his life--to find the truth.
The Incrementby David Ignatius
From a hidden enclave in the maze of Tehran, an Iranian scientist who calls himself "Dr. Ali" sends an encrypted message to the CIA. It falls to Harry Pappas to decide if it's for real. Dr. Ali sends more secrets of the Iranian bomb program to the agency, then panics. He's being followed, but he doesn't know who's onto him, and neither does Pappas. The White House is no help -- they're looking for a pretext to attack Tehran. To get his agent out, Pappas turns to a secret British spy team known as "The Increment," whose operatives carry the modern version of the double-0 "license to kill." But the real story here is infinitely more complicated than he understands, and to get to the bottom of it, he must betray his own country. The Increment is The Spy Who Came In from the Cold set in Iran, with a dose of Graham Greene's The Human Factor to highlight the subtleties of betrayal.
The Increment: A Novelby David Ignatius
The New York Times bestseller: "A remarkably timely and pulse-quickening tale of deception, divided loyalty, and moral haziness."--Raleigh News & Observer Harry Pappas, chief of the CIA's Persia House, receives an encrypted message from a scientist in Tehran. But soon the source of secrets from the Iranian bomb program dries up: the scientist panics; he's being followed, but he doesn't know who's on to him, and neither does Harry. To get his agent out, Harry turns to a secret British spy team known as "The Increment," whose operatives carry the modern version of the double-O "license to kill." But the real story is infinitely more complicated than Harry understands, and to get to the bottom of it he must betray his own country.
Siro: A Novelby David Ignatius
"A riveting imagined world, so real in fact that one always wonders if it is imagined at all." --Scott Turow Made restless by the tightening restrictions of CIA bureaucracy, agent Alan Taylor oversteps moral and legal bounds in a top-secret mission to destabilize the Soviet Union. His new recruit--the beautiful Anna Barnes, who struggles with complex feelings for Taylor--receives a deeper education than she signed up for in David Ignatius's trademark world of shifting international and domestic pressures, hidden loyalties, and secret agendas.
The Sun Kingby David Ignatius
Washington Post columnist David Ignatius is one of the most highly regarded writers in the capital, an influential journalist and acclaimed novelist with a keen eye for the subtleties of power and politics. In The Sun King, Ignatius has written a love story for our time, a spellbinding portrait of the collision of ambition and sexual desire. Sandy Galvin is a billionaire with a rare talent for taking risks and making people happy. Galvin arrives in a Washington suffering under a cloud of righteous misery and proceeds to turn the place upside down. He buys the city's most powerful newspaper, The Washington Sun and Tribune, and wields it like a sword, but in his path stands his old Harvard flame, Candace Ridgway, a beautiful and icy journalist known to her colleagues as the Mistress of Fact. Their fateful encounter, tangled in the mysteries of their past, is narrated by David Cantor, an acid-tongued reporter and Jerry Springer devotee who is drawn inexorably into the Sun King's orbit and is transformed by this unpredictable man. In this wise and poignant novel, love is the final frontier for a generation of baby boomers at midlife--still young enough to reach for their dreams but old enough to glimpse the prospect of loss. The Sun King can light up a room, but can he melt the worldly bonds that constrain the Mistress of Fact? In The Sun King, David Ignatius proves with perceptive wit and haunting power that the phrase "Washington love story" isn't an oxymoron.
Tell Them I Didn't Cryby David Ignatius Jackie Spinner Jenny Spinner
When she arrived in Iraq in May 2004 as the most junior member of the Washington Post bureau staff, Jackie Spinner entered a war zone where traditional reporting had become impossible. Bombs were a daily occurrence and kidnapping an ever-present threat for American journalists. Yet "the longer I stayed, the more Iraq felt like my home," she writes. Tell Them I Didn't Cry is Jackie's vivid and intensely personal story of being a journalist in Iraq -- where for nine months she covered the war from its center in Baghdad, Fallujah, Kurdistan, and Abu Ghraib -- and of being transformed, eventually, from a rookie correspondent into a seasoned foreign reporter. As she grew accustomed to the realities of living and reporting in Iraq, Jackie found that there was as much to love as there was to fear. The frenetic and grueling pace was an exhilarating challenge, and she discovered a powerful sense of purpose in delivering the story of Iraq. Soon, the Iraqi translators, drivers, and bodyguards that the Post staff relied on to be their eyes and ears, and, more important, to keep them safe, became not only her colleagues, but also her close friends and tightly knit family. Still, security rapidly deteriorated and Jackie describes with chilling simplicity narrowly surviving a kidnapping attempt and writing her name and blood type on her flak jacket before covering the battle in Fallujah. By turns lighthearted, grave, vulnerable, and fiery, Jackie recounts the difficulties of being a woman in a country where women are marginalized and a journalist where the press are no longer safe. She eloquently chronicles what occurred behind her headlines as she struggled to preserve her sanity, and sometimes her life, while also doing the one job in which she had found true meaning. Jackie's account is punctuated by brief vignettes written by her identical twin sister, Jenny, who watched as Jackie was drawn further and further into a world increasingly fraught with danger. Every morning she looked for Jackie's byline in the Post, knowing only then that her sister had survived another day. Through it all -- the violence and fear as well as the moments of humor, camaraderie, and warmth -- Jackie Spinner brings home with brilliant intensity and candor what it is like to report on a war under exceptional circumstances.

Most reports on dermolipomas describe the serious complications arising from their removal. The aim of this article was to describe a safe and effective method of removing dermolipomas. Forty-five consecutive eligible patients underwent surgical removal of their dermolipomas over a 20-year period. Of the two complications, only one, a restrictive symblepharon, required further surgery. The techniques for excising simple dermolipomas and dermolipomas associated with a deformity of the lateral canthal angle are described. Safe removal of dermolipomas may be accomplished with minimal resection of the conjunctiva, including the pilosebaceous area, identification of contiguous structures, and removal of only that portion of the dermolipoma anterior to the lateral orbital rim.

With the MilwaukeeHome stage showcasing more than 25 Milwaukee artists in one day and even more artists performing on their own, 2014 is poised to be the best year yet for Milwaukee representation at SXSW.
Neither Jank nor myself had the energy to go down to Austin ourselves, so we outsourced our work to other people who actually work. Fresh Cut Collecitve, Klassik, Unifi Records and Blax have been kind enough to agree to live blog their entire trip and showcase it on our blog. More artists will join soon, so hopefully we can get everything you need to see. This will be a first hand account of what the SXSW experience is all about, without the holograms. »Read Full Blog Post

Eau Claire writer Nickolas Butler launches 'Shotgun Lovesongs' here Tuesday
Eau Claire writer Nickolas Butler visits Milwaukee's Boswell Book Company Tuesday to launch his debut novel, "Shotgun Lovesongs" (Thomas Dunne). He arrives with some significant wind in his sails.
" 'Shotgun Lovesongs' is about a hometown in Wisconsin and the close band of friends who will always feel its magnetic pull," explains Janet Maslin in her New York Times review of the novel. "One of the friends is a rock star, and Mr. Butler didn't have to make that up. He went to high school with Justin Vernon, lead singer of Bon Iver. And it doesn't hurt for a book about a poky farm community to have a rock star lodged somewhere in its collective history." »Read Full Blog Post

Iran lawmakers approve birth-control surgeries ban
TEHRAN, Iran -- Iranian lawmakers approved a bill Tuesday criminalizing birth-control surgeries amid a drop in the country's population, the semiofficial ISNA news agency reported.
The agency said 106 lawmakers out of 207 voted for the bill, which would imprison those convicted of performing vasectomies and tubal ligations for two to five years. Opponents of the bill warn that it could lead to Iranians seeking underground medical care that could be dangerous.
The bill requires more debate on its details and ratification by a constitutional watchdog before becoming law.
In 2013, about 100,000 people underwent birth-control surgery in Iran.
