Gilberto Alex Garcia, 20, pleaded not guilty to one count of vehicular homicide and vehicular assault for a single-vehicle rollover accident that occurred in July near the Clarkston Heights.
The accident claimed the life of 16-year-old Ashley Nelson, who was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the Garcia's vehicle when it rolled.
Defense Attorney Nicholas George requested that Asotin County Superior Court Judge William Acey adjust Garcia's $50,000 bond. That request was later denied.
"God forbid, if he did get out and mixed alcohol and speed together," said Acey. "He could be a high risk of another injury, another fatality, and that's what concerns the court a great deal."
Since Garcia has no prior felony convictions it appears he could face up to 54 months in prison. Garcia will make his next court appearance on August 20th.

Historical Traveler Reviews Vagabond Inn - Glendale
Great Surprise
My husband and I stayed here for our trip to LA. I picked this hotel soley by the pictures and other reviews and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. We rented a king nonsmoking on 3rd floor --- the room was exactly like the pictures and very clean. I did ask for 3rd floor since more than likely those rooms are used less. We did have a weird burn mark on the vanity mirror but we overlooked it since the rest of the room was great. We also ate at Foxy's down the street -- they had a wonderful menu and the food was great-- the hotel's breakfast was a few donuts, fruit, juice and coffee. We also walked down to a mall area that had plenty of other food choices like Olive Garden, Quizno's, Panda Express. The donut place by the hotel was awesome too!! We didn't have time to check out the pool but it did look inviting. I would stay at this hotel again in a heartbeat.
An 'okay' place to stay
Wanted to explore Hollywood and a few of the studios. The hotel is in a really good location - right off I-5 and near downtown. I chose the hotel solely on reading good review on tripadvisor. I was a little disappointed with the size of the room and the condition of the carpet and matress/box spring. We probably had one of the smaller rooms in the complex - should've asked for an upgrade. The carpet in the room needed shampoo cleaning because it stained my white socks brown. The matress/box spring looked really old and had a few large, dark stains. The bathroom, sink, towels, and sheet were all clean. Parking is free and seemed to have alot of space in early Sept. Dined at Foxy's a few doors down - great place and good food as other reviews say. If visiting Glendale again, I probably would try another hotel because of my experience with the room. Because of the majority of good review, though, others may want to give the hotel a chance. If possible, ask for a room upgrade.
Great Place for the $$
Great hotel! I would definitely stay there again! The hotel staff was extremely kind and cheerful. We stayed over the Thanksgiving weekend (3 nights) and never heard another guest! Although the hotel is NOT 3+ stars, it certainly met our needs. Clean, but the plumbing could use a little attention, and the bathtub could use some more safety tape on the tub. As other guests have stated the Front Desk controls the air and heating for your room. It was really stuffy in the middle of the night. Just opened the window, but wouldn't recommend it for woman sleeping alone, as there were a few (2) unsavory characters hanging out at the soda machine. I never felt unsafe and I would definitely stay there again.
An absolute MUST is a visit to Foxy's for breakfast, lunch or dinner (which is right down the street). The service is awesome and the food is fresh! Overall, it was a great deal for the money. I even saved more by booking online $71/night. If you're looking for a safe and clean hotel for a great price this is the place.
Bargain Base for Doing L.A.
We spent 3 nights here (Aug 22-24 '05). While the motel is nothing to get excited about, at around $80 a night, it met our needs, which were basically a place to rest our heads after touring around the L.A./Burbank area all day. The room & bathroom were clean, altho the linens and blankets were pretty shopworn (cigarette holes in the blankets, some stains on the sheets. We never used the outdoor pool (just off parking lot). The inn is right off of the main downtown Glendale St., so you'll be able to find pretty much anything you need quite nearby. It is also quite convenient if you're planning a visit to Warner Studios or the Universal Studios themepark. We had a 3rd fl. room & it was quite quiet.
Perfect L.A. Location
We stayed at the Glendale Vagabond Inn for two nights on a Trip to Magic Mountain and Universal. The room was very clean and modern. The staff were very friendly and helpful and were eager to assist in any way possible. We were directed to a neighbourhood restaurant nearby "Foxy's" which was excellent. Great food and a Vagabond Discount to boot! Will stay again!
Good Place To Stay
Stayed here for 3 nights with my wife and two teens, rooms are a little small but very clean, close parking, and extra friendly staff. Paid $89 per night for a weeknight and $99 for a weekend night. Prefect place to stay if you do not want to pay near $200 per night. Close to highway 5 and Dodger stadium. Foxys a few doors down was an excellent place to eat and offered %10 off with your Vagabond room key. Pool was small but also very nice and clean. I would stay here again and we are pickey.
I loved the location: relatively easy access to major freeways, but without the traffic noise. Walking distance to large Galleria mall and trendy Brand Ave. Clean pool. Donuts and O.J./Coffee in the morning. I had the Queen single room/non-smoking. Interior is nice, with good comfortably padded carpet and nice funiture and decor. The bathroom and vanity area were clean and nice (and I am picky). The shower head is an adjustable/massage type.
the only thing i could warn you about is that the main office controls the a/c temps for your room. I remember briefly glancing at a sign stating this. I don't think they ever turned it on, becuase it was very warm when I returned in the evening. I would have to open my door and window to vent. Lucky for me I sorta like the heat, but could see it being a problem for others.
The front desk clerks were always helpful and friendly. Glad I stayed there and would return.
A nice place to stay.
I have visited California 30 times now and this is the first time in Glendale. Although I always visit Glendale Galleria I thought it was about time to stay there. This hotel is one block from the mall and is conveniently located near main streets. The rooms are a little small but perfectly clean and have internet access and coffee making facilities as well as a clean fridge. The pool is tiny but deep, but i guesss most people arrive late and check out early. The breakfast donuts are wonderfully fresh and mighty tasty, as is the receptionist early in the morning. Priced at around $70 per night you could easily pay a lot more for a less comfortable hotel. I'll be staying there again in September.
Most Excellent
Excellent stay. Staff very informative and pleasant. Worth the drive out of the city. Rooms clean comfortable and a very plesant stay. The shopping centre on the door step was the biggest I have seen - it went on for miles. Local internet cafe wonderful and steps away from the Inn.
Most Excellent
Would stay there again anyday, Wonderful location just a short drive away from the madness of LA. Staff friendly and helpful, and seem to have endless information about the local area, and very pleasant.
Rooms clean tidy and comfortable.

1997 Subaru Legacy GT 4dr Wagon AWD
Runs very well in all conditions. May need to use premium fuel to gain speed quickly. This vehicle hauls a great amount of items, and a fair amount of weight with no problems. Though it has a low wheel base, it still manages to ride well over heavy snow.
Early troubles particularly with the
windshield having some kind of film on
it.Alternator went at 37000 miles and
was stranded. Had it replaced in New
Hampshire in middle of winter. Car
eventually had recall with alt.nator
replaced again during regular service.
Dealers not so helpful.Had front right
wheel problem at 60000. It took two
dealerships to fix some kind of bearing
problem. Was told by dealer it was good
to have replaced otherwise wheel could
FALL OFF. Oil seals went at 65000.
Overall I love the car.Unstoppable in
winter's worst. Who needs a shovel.
Has lots of dings but who cares about
looks with a Subie!
Engine reliable, spacious
interior.Durable materials well screwed
together. Nobody will steal it either.
Better engine oil seals. Leaked badly
at 65000. Expensive to repair. Better
dealer needed.
Flawless reliability. Except for the
battery dying once, the car has given
me no problems, despite being involved
in one major crash in its first year.
Interesting styling too, with the
opening in the hood and aggressive-
looking wheels. Definately not going
to be mistaken for an old Buick wagon.
In 1997 there was no other wagon with a
manual shift that looked this good for
a reasonable price. The manual shift
is very pleasant, making this car fun
to drive despite the not-earth-
shattering power.
Styling. Cargo space is excellant.
The clutch and shifter work well.
Clutch is especially nice, as it
doesn't have the long travel that some
cars have. Engine makes a nice, low-
pitched rumble that makes the car feel
higher powered than it is.
The seats could use more lumbar
support. Speaking of lumbar support,
the adjuster knob for mine popped off,
which would have been annoying if there
was any noticable difference between
the various settings. Needs more
power. Fuel economy lacking...I get 19
city, 24 hwy.
I love my GT wagon. It is spunky and fun
to drive. I traded in my Mazda MPV and
felt like I had a hot sports car for a
I kept forgetting I was driving a station
wagon. My son kept saying, "Your car is
fast, do you know how fast your car is,
mom?" Yes, I do.
Quick acceleration, all the goodies,
sunroof, good freeway mileage. Roomy,
lots of cargo space, leg room. Adjustable
seat is great for short mom and tall son.
Could you put some drink holders in the
back seat area?

ORLANDO — For as long as junior forward Erik Murphy is going to be sidelined by a meniscus tear in his right knee, the Gators are going to rely on sophomore Will Yeguete.
If Monday's game against Stetson is any indication, Yeguete is up to the challenge.
Making only his second career start, Yeguete recorded his first double-double, scoring 10 points and hauling in 11 rebounds.
Still, when asked about Yeguete's performance after the game, coach Billy Donovan's first thought was on the sophomore's shortcomings.
"We've got to work on his layups," Donovan said. "Still need to work on layups."
Yeguete missed five layups Monday, the only blemishes on his 4-of-9 shooting performance and a clear reminder that he's a different player from Murphy.
"He doesn't shoot the ball like Erik does from the perimeter, but he does get in there and rebound," Donovan said. "He makes hustle plays. He's really good in the front of the press."
Yeguete's hustle has been evident on the stat sheet throughout his career. Last season, he led UF in rebounds per minute by a comfortable margin and would have posted the best offensive rebound percentage at 20.2 percent — the percentage of available offensive rebounds Yeguete grabs when he's on the court — in the nation if he had played enough minutes to qualify.
That continued Monday, as Yeguete grabbed six offensive boards in his 26 minutes of action.
He was also a force at the top of UF's press, recording a game-high four steals.
"Will is doing a lot of things," Donovan said. "He's really one of our better defenders. He's clearly one of our better rebounders."
But, outside of that, Yeguete's game still appears to be limited.
He turned the ball over twice against Stetson after leading the team in turnovers per minute last season, and Donovan said early in the game Yeguete forced layups and put-back attempts when passing might have been a better option.
But, facing a similar situation later in the contest, Donovan said Yeguete made the right move by passing the ball out, showing his capacity to grow and learn as his career progresses.
"He's just got to get better with the ball, making decisions," Donovan said. "He's getting better."
His improvement, as well as the development of sophomore swingman Casey Prather, will be critical as long as UF is forced to play without Murphy.
"For someone like him playing limited minutes, and Casey last year playing limited minutes, now that they're getting an opportunity to play more, I think that they're getting more and more comfortable," Donovan said.

INDEPENDENCE — When Tamara Furr and her husband left for a weekend of seclusion in the Virginia mountains, the last thing they expected was to take home a $1 million souvenir.
But, the odds were apparently in their favor when Furr purchased a ticket for the Virginia Lottery Scratcher game Green at Food City in Independence.
According to a news release from the grocery chain, Furr discovered her win in the passenger seat while her husband was driving away from the store.
Carroll County's Oakland Elementary School hosted an event to honor local veterans on Nov. 11. It included a free lunch in the cafeteria with kids and a brief musical program presented by the students. The veterans also presented the library with a new book and demonstrated proper flag-folding.

Guys & Girls:
Most Messiah guys are nice. But the gender ratio is 70% girls, and what guys there are just do not talk to girls.
Guys & Girls:
I really enjoy hanging out with all the people I'm friends with on campus. Everyone was so welcoming when I first started here and I've never made so many friends so quickly. The people are just wonderful.
Guys & Girls:
The only downside to the guys at the school is that there are so few of them.
Guys & Girls:
Guys have it nice with the 60/40 ratio if girls to guys. There are some amazingly cool, Godly women that attend Messiah. Lots of pretty girls who are modest, humble and genuine. Yes, there is the "ring by spring [of senior year]" joke-but-really-tradition at messiah because if you are in a relationship, it's usually for the long haul. you can go on a date, with out being dating, but even that requires high levels of interest. Hooking up, the idea of it, is laughably non-existent here.
Guys & Girls:
The stereotyped Messiah student is an attractive, married soccer player. Take that as you will.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
The girl-to-guy ratio has a major effect on dating. After freshman year, when the dating scene starts heating up, this 3:2 (and rising) ratio is all too noticeable. All the guys are taken—not just the good-looking ones—and a good amount of girls are left yearning for a boyfriend. The dreaded "ring by spring" mentality puts even more pressure and worry on these girls. As a result, many girls invest in long-term relationships with boys from home or pine endlessly over taken guys and pray for a break-up.
People at Messiah are generally not sexually promiscuous because sexual activity before marriage is prohibited in the Community Covenant. There are always a few who disagree with the covenant and have sex anyway, but this tends to be a difficult feat because of visiting hours and nosy floormates. In addition, finding a willing partner is probably harder than completing the task itself.

On one level, they appear unrelated, for Turkey is a more advanced country, with a democratic culture and a modern economy. But two connections — autocracy and Syria — do tie them together, suggesting that the Turkish demonstrations could have a potentially deep importance.

Usually the Air Jordan samples we show you are those that have been scrapped on the cutting room floor and will likely never see a release. This basic Air Jordan 1 Phat, however, will in fact release later this year as part of the Fall 2012 product line (although that could be subject to change). This Air Jordan 1 is as no-frills as you can get – a tonal-black get-up combining synthetic leather and nubuck for a simple colorway that would easily insert itself into casual/lifestyle sneaker rotations everywhere. Check out the extra shots of this 'Blackout' sample below and if you want to get a jump on this release, hit up the listing from marcieandlouise on eBay.

Church Point's Boone tops Grid Stars
CROWLEY - Church Point halfback Jacob Boone isn't accustomed to being the featured back in the Bears' potent offensive attack.
But when Devin Landry cramped up early in the Bears' season opener at Beau Chene last Thursday, Boone took over that role and the Gators had no answer for him.
Despite not scoring, Boone carried much of the load for the Bears, rushing 21 times for 171 yards while also hauling in a 21-yard pass to set up a touchdown in Church Point's 14-0 victory.
Those numbers were more than enough to earn Boone top honors on this week's edition of Grid Stars.
"We don't have that big-play guy, but we have some hard-nosed kids," said Church Point coach John Craig Arceneaux. "And I can't say enough about Jacob's performance. Devin Landry kind of cramped up and the kid we had behind him is a defensive starter so we didn't want to put him out there.
"Jacob jumped in and played the other side and did a great job - he broke a few tackles and had some nice runs. I can't say enough about the kid and how hard he's worked for four years to get himself into this position."
Also earning recognition this week were Notre Dame's Nick Gossen and Luke Broussard, Rayne's Jalen Williams and Brody Bourque and Iota's Brandon Fantroy.
Gossen led Notre Dame's ground attack with 100 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries during the Pios' 43-6 victory over Southwood Friday. Broussard also scored twice in the victory while racking up 56 yards on seven carries.
Williams and Bourque combined for 276 yards and four touchdowns in Rayne's 34-7 victory over St. Edmund.
Williams ran for 185 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries while Bourque had 91 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries.
Fantroy picked up 81 yards on 11 carries in Iota's 12-6 loss to Vinton.
Notre Dame and Church Point's defenses also earned an honorable mention slot. The Pios limited Southwood to just four first downs and 103 total yards while the Bears held Beau Chene to four first downs and 77 yards.

Read an Excerpt
Zabul Province, Afghanistan
Present day
They formed on the plain at dawn.
Man and beast and machine spread across the hard brown dirt in a line one hundred meters across. There were horses and jeeps and pickup trucks with heavy machine guns mounted on the flatbeds. They numbered only fifty men, and the villagers counted one hundred times that, but they were committed men. Warriors united under the banner of heaven. Sons of Tamerlane.
The commander stood in the rear of his Hilux pickup, binoculars to his eyes, surveying his target. He was tall and formidable, and he wore his black wool turban piled high on his head, the trailing folds wrapped tightly around his face to guard against the bitter cold. His name was Sultan Haq. He was thirty years old. He had been imprisoned for six years, twenty-three hours a day, in a small, clean cage in a hot place far, far away. In deference to his name, and to his habit of growing his fingernails long and keeping them as sharp as a bird of prey's talons, his jailers had called him "the Hawk."
The Hawk studied the cluster of low-slung mud buildings situated among the foothills two kilometers away. Through the mist, he could make out the town bazaar. Already shopkeepers were at work setting out their wares. Vendors cooked meat over brazier fires. Children and dogs ran up and down alleyways.
He lowered his binoculars and looked at his men. Arrayed on either side of him were six vehicles identical to his own, battered Toyota four-by-fours with mounted .30 caliber machine guns. His men crouched at the base of the armament, Kalashnikovs clutched and ready, spare clips tucked into the leather bandoliers strung across their chests. Several among them carried old Soviet-era RPGs. In between the trucks, twenty or more horses moved anxiously, steam issuing from their nostrils, hooves pawing the ground. Their riders held their mounts at bay, waiting for the signal.
The men wore no common uniform. Their clothes were ragged and dirty. But they were an army all the same. They had trained and drilled together. They had fought and been blooded. They were without mercy.
Sultan Haq raised a hand into the air. As one, the gunners cocked the machine guns. The sound of metal striking metal reverberated across the barren landscape. The horses whinnied madly. He closed his fist, andhis men rose to their feet and let out a fierce cry. Throwing back his head, Haq joined them, feeling the spirit of his ancestors rise within him. Closing his eyes, he envisioned the rampaging horde. He saw thundering hooves and flashing swords and smelled acrid smoke filling the air. He heard the screams of the vanquished and tasted death on his tongue.
He opened his eyes and returned to the present. Once more he was at home on the flat lands of eastern Afghanistan. He pounded his fist on the roof of the cab, and the pickup roared to life and accelerated across the fallow fields. In a few short months, these same fields would come to life as the poppy awoke, grew, and bloomed. Last year these fields had yielded three thousand kilos of raw opium, earning its farmers millions of U.S. dollars-more than enough to purchase stores and weapons to equip a thousand of his men.
The village must be brought under the Taliban's white flag. It was a question of economics, not religion.
A bullet cut the air above Haq's head, and a split second later the crack of the gunshot reached his ear. Dispassionately, he watched as the villagers armed themselves and formed a hasty skirmish line. Still he held back from giving the order to fire.
Seconds passed, and the air was alive with gunfire, lead whizzing past like a swarm of angry bees. A shot splintered the windshield of the pickup next to him. He glimpsed a spray of blood, and the vehicle peeled off.
"Commence firing," he said into his two-way radio.
The first mortar landed in the center of the village bazaar. A geyser of dirt shot into the air. A second mortar exploded, followed by a third. Confused, and unsure of where to direct their fire, the skirmish line broke.
The Hawk looked on with satisfaction. He had positioned two squads on the higher ground south of the village to deliver fire from the rear while he attacked from the front. It was a classic hammer-and-anvil maneuver as taught by the United States Army Handbook of Infantry Tactics. Remarkably, he had found the handbook in the prison library. He had committed every page and illustration to memory.
The truck climbed a rise and the village came into full view. It was a scene of chaos, with men, women, and children scrambling in every direction, seeking cover where none was to be had. Turning, he tapped the gunner on the shoulder. The machine gun roared to life, spraying the square in disciplined bursts as gunners from the other pickups opened fire. Bodies dropped to the ground. Entire walls of shops and offices disintegrated and collapsed. A house caught fire.
In his free hand, Sultan Haq clutched a Remington long-barrel sniper rifle pried from the fingers of the enemy. It was a fine and accurate weapon with a polished maple stock and the words "Barnes" and"USMC" carved into the butt. It fired only a single round, but a single round was enough. As a boy, he'd hunted bighorn sheep in the rugged mountains of Kunar Province in the north. He knew how to shoot.
He signaled for his truck to slow and, raising the rifle to his eye, found a target, a young man running up the hillside clutching a woman's hand. He closed his finger around the trigger. The rifle kicked pleasurably. The young man fell to the ground. Pleased, Haq shouted for the driver to accelerate. The truck mounted a final hillock and barreled into the village.
An elderly mullah ran in front of the truck, waving his arms furiously. "Stop!" he shouted.
Haq halted alongside the man and jumped to the ground. "This village is now under my control," he said. "You will follow the dictates of Abdul Haq and the Haq clan."
The elder nodded abjectly, tears rolling down his wrinkled cheeks. "I surrender."
Haq raised an arm. "Cease fire!"
He waited as his soldiers shepherded the townsfolk toward a water fountain at the center of the bazaar. When they arrived, he ordered the elder to his knees. The old man complied. Haq put the barrel of his rifle to his head and shot him.
Stepping away from the body, he removed a list of names from his pocket. "Where is Abdullah Masri?" he called.
There was no answer. He aimed his rifle at a weak man with an insufficient growth of facial hair and shot him dead. Then he repeated the question. A stout man emerged from a store that had been selling DVDs of Western movies and Japanese television sets.
"You are Masri?" asked Haq.
The man nodded.
Haq took his time slipping a bullet into the rifle, then shot the man in the head.
"Where is Muhammad Fawzi?"
One by one, Sultan Haq called out the names of the village's leaders. He executed the schoolteacher and the grocer. He executed a homosexual and a woman suspected of adultery. For months he had been spying on the town, readying for this moment.
There was one last thing to do.
Climbing into the cab of his pickup, he pointed to a large whitewashed building that housed the village school. Like most of the buildings in the region, it was built with stone and mud. The driver positioned the truck's tail at the front of the school. A second truck came alongside. Moving backward, then forward, then backward again, the trucks battered the wall until it collapsed. Then they moved to the next wall and did the same, until the school was no more.
Afterward, his men walked among the rubble, gathering books, maps, and any learning materials they could find and dumping them into a pile. When they finished, he hauled a jerrican from his truck and doused the pile with gasoline.
As he was about to light it, a boy ran forward. "Stop," he pleaded. "We have nowhere else to learn."
Haq eyed the brave child. He was interested not in the boy's words but in the fiberglass cast on his left arm. To the best of Haq'sknowledge, there was only a rudimentary clinic in the village. In his country, broken limbs were set in plaster, not fiberglass. He had seen this advancedmedical treatment only once before. "Where did you get this?" he asked, touching the cast.
"The healer," said the boy.
Haq's ears perked up. He hadn't heard about a healer in these parts. "Who is this healer?"
The boy looked away.
Haq grabbed the child's jaw in his immense hand, the sharpened nails raising welts on his cheek. "Who?"
"A crusader," someone shouted.
Haq spun. "A crusader? Here? Alone?"
"He's traveling with an assistant. A Hazara who carries medicine for him in a bag."
"Is the healer American?" asked Haq.
"A Westerner," came an answer. "He speaks English and some Pashto. We didn't ask if he was American. He cured many people. He fixed the khan's stomach and repaired my cousin's knee."
Haq released the boy, shoving him backward. His heart was racing, but he hid his anticipation beneath a veil of anger. "Where did he go?"
An elder pointed toward the mountains. "There."
Haq looked at the foothills that rose and eventually formed the massive mountain range known as the Hindu Kush. Tossing the lighter onto the pile of books, he walked back to his truck, paying scant attention as the flames climbed into the sky.
"Go," he said to the driver. "To the mountains."
Jonathan Ransom woke and knew that something was wrong.
Bolting upright, he pulled his sleeping bag to his waist and listened. Across the room, Hamid, his assistant, slept on the ground, snoring. Beyond the shuttered windows, a camel brayed. Outside, a pushcart rolled past, its arthritic axles in need of oil, followed by a trio of voices raised in conversation. The cart, he had learned during his week in the village of Khos-al-Fari, belonged to the butcher, who was presently transporting his daily supply of freshly slaughtered goats to the town bazaar to be displayed hanging from tenterhooks in the front of his stall.
The cart continued down the hill. The voices died away. All was silent but for the ghostly roar of the Gar River churning through the nearby gorge.
Jonathan remained stock-still, the frigid air stinging his cheeks.
It was only mid-November, yet in the steep, inhospitable foothills of eastern Afghanistan, winter had arrived with a vengeance.
A minute passed. Still he heard nothing.
And then the crack of a rifle. A single shot-high-caliber, judging by its report. He waited, expecting more gunfire, but none came, and he wondered if a hunter had taken one of the big-horned Marco Polo sheep that roamed the mountainside.
It was almost five a.m. Time to begin the day. With a grunt, he unzipped the sleeping bag to his feet and stood on the dirt floor. Shivering, he lit the kerosene lamp, then hurried to pull on a second pair of woolen socks and a beat-up pair of flannel-lined cargo pants.
A camp table in one corner held a washbasin, a jug of water, a cup with his toothbrush and toothpaste, and a washcloth. Jonathan poured water into the basin. The water had partially frozen overnight, and islands of ice floated on the surface. He washed his hands and face, then ran the washcloth over his body, scrubbing vigorously to stop his teeth from chattering. Finished, he dried himself, brushed his teeth, and put on his shirt and jacket. His hair was too long and tangled to tame with a brush, so he combed it with his fingers for a few moments before giving up on it.
"Hamid," he said. "Wake up."
To combat the cold, Hamid had disappeared inside his sleeping bag. Jonathan crossed the room and kicked him. "Move it."
A head of unruly black hair popped out of the sleeping bag. Hamid peered angrily around the room. In the dim light, the circles under his eyes gained depth and he looked older than his nineteen years. "That hurt."
"Get your butt out of the sack. We've got a lot to do today."
"Just a sec-"
Hamid sat up slowly, pulling his cell phone out of the bag and checking it for messages.
Jonathan observed him, wondering for the hundredth time how a village could not have electricity but manage to have cellular phone service. "Your mom call?"
Hamid didn't look up from the phone. "Not funny."
"Yeah, well, put that thing away and get moving. I'll see you at the clinic."
Jonathan picked up the duffel that held his equipment and swung it over his shoulder. Pulling on his pakol hat, he opened the door and sniffed the air. Wood smoke, damp foliage, and peat: the smells of the world away from civilization. It was a scent he knew well.
For eight years he had traveled the world as a physician with Doctors Without Borders. He had worked from the top of Africa to the bottom. He had spent time in Kosovo, Beirut, and Iraq, too. Wherever he was located, his mission was to bring medical care to those who needed it most. Politics was not a factor. There were no good guys or bad guys. There were only patients.
He'd arrived in Afghanistan two months before, but he no longer worked for Doctors Without Borders. Events in the recent past prevented him from working in an official capacity as a physician or surgeon for them or anyone else. The man at the American embassy had told him he was crazy to venture into the Red Zone-the Red Zone being anywhere outside Kabul. When Jonathan said he was traveling alone, without bodyguards or weapons or any personal security whatsoever, so that he might offer medical care to people in the remotest villages, the man called him "suicidal." Jonathan didn't think so. He had calculated the risks, weighed them against his responsibilities, and found the balance equal, more or less.
Now, standing outside his one-room shelter in the predawn darkness, his boots sinking into the icy muck, he listened again. It wasn't noise that unsettled him, but the lack of it.
"One hour," he said to Hamid, then shut the door.
A soft rain fell as he walked along the path zigzagging down the hillside. Below, shrouded in clouds on a spit of flat terrain tucked between steeply descending mountains, lay the village. All the structures looked the same: low-slung, rectangular slurries of rock, timber, and mud that seemed to have grown out of the earth itself. A thousand people lived in Khos-al-Fari. Many times that number visited from the surrounding valley to trade at the bazaar, sell crops and timber, and conduct a rudimentary social life.

Christopher Reich used to write great novels about corporate crime-books like the Devil's Banker. There were five of them, and I remember how I looked forward to the next one immediately after I finished the last. That Christopher Reich has disappeared, no doubt being held hostage by some Wall Street types who don't want him writing those kinds of novels anymore. The fake Reich has started terrorist novels involving Jonathan Ransom and his wife, Emma. These novels are nowhere near as good as his earlier novels. The latest, Rules of Betrayal, has many of the same ingredients that you see in other novels of the genre- bad guys being pursued by a civilian who can accomplish so much more that any crack government team can. There is usually a bomb, nuclear, of course, that's headed to a major city and gosh, just this one guy can stop it. Will he? In the nick of time? Well, of course I can't spoil any endings, but when the book becomes a series it's not too hard to guess who survives. In Betrayal, Reich, or his impostor, reaches levels of absurdity that only a crazed mind can write. (Thus providing further proof that the real Christopher Reich did not write this novel.) So, I'd like to see some other fiction writer find him, and fast! Wall Street is rife for exploitation!
In Zabul Province, Afghanistan Dr. Jonathan Ransom of Doctors Without Borders is providing medical care to the locals when a Taliban assault occurs. He is air lifted out of the deadly firefight. However, Jonathan learns from his assistant Hamid who secretly works for the American top secret agency Division that his wife Emma also known in some circles as Lara Antonova, who may be one of their operatives, is in trouble. He knows how capable a killer his Emma is so Jonathan has problems accepting the assertion, but refuses to ignore the possibility. Apparently Emma has done something to anger a Taliban brutal operative The "Hawk" and thwart fuming arms dealer Lord Balfour. The Division fears Emma has gone rogue somewhere in the mountainous border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. In fact she has found a B-52 that crashed in 1980 carrying a nuclear bomb that she has taken with her. Everyone from the infamous Indian war dealer to the deadly Taliban terrorist to the Division and even the Russians' FSB head to Lashkar Province seek to take the bomb from Emma-Lara; except Jonathan who seeks to extract his wife from being in the eye of the storm. The third Ransom Rules (see Rules of Vengeance and Rules of Deception) is a superb espionage thriller as Jonathan who wants nothing to do with Division or spying is back in the field worried about his mysterious spouse. Readers learn much more about enigmatic Emma's background as she operates with rules in which trust and rely on no one as they will betray you. Jonathan is pulled between saving his wife and securing the bomb, which leaves readers anxiously awaiting the fate of the nuke in his next thriller. Harriet Klausner
This book seems cobbled together from other movies and similar books. Critical events develop just too conveniently to be plausable. Main characters display authority that you just know that mid level players would not have. This is not one of his better books. Mark Auman
Nice easy read..
As I read other reviews of this book here, I am convinced that they are written by the author himself. This is a work that reads like a notebook of ideas, all disconnected and hurriedly noted. The characters are as solid as Ritz crackers. The plot is believable, kimd of, sort of... maybe. Save your money.

Vocal-fold cyst
Vocal-fold cysts are collections of fluid in sac-like formations on the vocal folds.
Cysts can deteriorate the quality of human speech production, causing diplophonia, a condition where the vocal cords produce multiple tones at the same time, or dysphonia, an impaired quality of voice typically involving hoarseness or a breathy sound. Females are more likely than males to develop vocal fold cysts and the menstrual cycle may alter the size of the cyst. The cysts usually appear on one side of the vocal fold but may cause swelling on the opposite side due to irritation.
There are two types of vocal fold cysts: mucus retention and epithermoid.
- Mucus retention cysts occur when a glandular duct becomes blocked and is unable to secrete. This can occur after an upper respiratory infection combined with vocal overuse.
- Epidermoid cysts result from either developmental problems before birth or from an injury to the mucous membrane. A ruptured cyst may result in a scar.
Initial treatment of the cysts involves vocal training and speech therapy along with medical interventions to decrease irritation of the cyst. In many cases, these will alleviate problems from the cyst. In some cases, the cyst grows larger necessitating surgery to remove the cyst. Vocal professionals may also require surgery as the minimal steps do not improve the voice quality enough to allow continued performance with the voice.

Sir.—Information coming to me from Gun Week newspaper (May 10, 1985) mentioned a quotation written in an AJDC editorial by Diane H. Schetky, MD1 (Yale University Child Study Center, New Haven, Conn), that included, "Yet, when it comes to violence, we turn our backs and accept it as part of the American way of life."
The Gun Week article did not make it clear whether the balance of Dr Schetky's comments appeared in the AJDC editorial. If this additional material did appear in an editorial, the editorial board should have checked Dr Schetky's "facts." Please see my letter in Gun Week (June 7, 1985) questioning the extreme slant of the "facts" concerning children under the age of 5 years and violence involving firearms.
Please advise if the American Medical Association and the editorial board of AJDC stand behind the comments of Dr Schetky concerning firearms and child safety.

In Brief: Pakistan rejects Musharraf's request to go abroad
Pakistan rejects Musharraf's trip abroad
ISLAMABAD -- State-run television in Pakistan said the country's Interior Ministry has rejected a request from former President Pervez Musharraf to go abroad for medical treatment and to see his ailing mother.
Irfan Sadiqui, the prime minister's adviser on national affairs, told the PTV on Wednesday the government rejected Musharraf's request as it could make it difficult for the government to bring him to court once he leaves the country.
The move came days after a court indicted Musharraf on five counts of high treason, charges that potentially carry the death penalty.
Musharraf, 70, took power in a 1999 coup but was forced to step down in 2008.
Syrian report: Mortar shells kill 5 in capital
DAMASCUS, Syria -- Syria's state run news agency said indiscriminate mortar attacks by rebels killed five civilians and wounded dozens in the capital, Damascus, on Wednesday.
The Syrian Red Crescent Society also said its first aid teams were on high alert after a barrage of mortar shells struck Damascus and nearby suburbs. It said more than 50 injured were transferred to a hospital.
Rebels frequently target Damascus, seat of President Bashar Assad's power, with mortar shells. But Wednesday's barrage appears to be one of the heaviest in weeks.
Bishops say Venezuela seeks totalitarian rule
CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuela's organization of Catholic bishops is accusing the government of seeking totalitarian-style rule, comments that potentially could complicate the Vatican's offer to facilitate talks between the socialist government and its opposition.
The Conference of Venezuelan Bishops is calling on President Nicolas Maduro to halt his crackdown on critics who have been protesting in the streets for seven weeks. The conference president is Bishop Diego Padron. Speaking in Caracas on Wednesday, he accused Maduro of attempting to criminalize dissent.
The bishops association has periodically criticized the Venezuelan government.
Violent protests up near Egypt universities
CAIRO -- A series of three bombs went off Wednesday outside Cairo University, killing a police general and wounding seven people, introducing a new level of violence to the almost daily battles at campuses fought by Egyptian police and students loyal to the ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
Universities have emerged as the main center of the campaign of protests by Morsi's supporters against the military-backed government that replaced him. A fierce crackdown the past nine months has made significant rallies by Islamists in the streets nearly impossible.
The result has been increasingly deadly clashes between protesters and security forces in and around the walled campuses.
Wednesday's blasts targeted a post of riot police deployed outside Cairo University.

John is survived by his four sons, David A. Sonnier (Chasity) of Florida, Jack L. Trahan (Christella) of Gueydan, Jeremy L. Trahan (Donna) also of Gueydan, and Jacob A.

Everyday there's a number of football betting promo codes for you to claim from a number of bookies. We do the leg work for you to check all the codes are working on a daily basis. We also check that these are the best football betting codes on offer. If you're looking for a football promo code today then take your pick from the ones below!
How to claim our football betting promo codes
We try to make sure the free bet codes we offer are easy to claim, to make sure you get the offers follow these simple steps.
– Pick the code you want to use and make sure you don't already have an account with that company (these are mainly new customer free bets)
– Click on the Button "Claim code" on the table above. Some of the offers won't have a code so you just need to click and register.
– Register your details adding the bet promo code if required. Some of the bookies, like William Hill, will automatically generate the code in the registration details.
– Place your first qualifying bet at the amount specified. In most cases you'll get your free bet within 24 hours
What if I don't get my free bet? The best thing to do is contact the company directly. What usually works best is an email detailing how you registered and that you feel you should have had the free bet. Most bookies want you as a customer so they are accommodating if you're polite about it.
Do these football betting promo codes ever change? Yes, as the bookies update their offers then we keep the pages up dated. We also have a popup window with any promo codes we think are too good to miss out on.
Are there other casino promo codes? Yes, click the casino link on the menu to find the latest casino offers.
Where can I get the biggest bonus code? Bet365 is currently our largest promo offer with up to £200 as a first deposit bonus. Follow the steps from the table above to claim.
Do I have to use these promo codes just for football betting? No, you can use the standard codes on any sport. The enhanced price offers we have are specifically for football.
Why do bookies have these crazy priced offers? It's mainly about getting more interest than the usual free bet offer. So when Coral did 4/1 on Manchester United to get a corner it was only the same as their free bet offer. Obviously though it generates more of an interest when shared through the press and social media.
Offers are for 18+ only

Museum of Wisconsin Art opens new building
After researching and refining the history of Wisconsin art for decades, the Museum of Wisconsin Art will be able to tell more of its story starting this weekend. It will reopen in a dramatic new building nestled on the Milwaukee River at 205 Veterans Ave., West Bend - a gleaming, white wedge with twice the space for art inside.
The museum also is altering its narrative, opening up what it means to focus on "Wisconsin art" and creating a greater focus on contemporary art. »Read Full Article

I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
In "The Lucid Eye in Silver Town," Jay August looks back on a day trip he made at age 13 with his father Martin from small-town Pennsylvania to New York City.

On Tap Today: Cudahy Carolers and an alt Nutcracker
You have to wonder how this one would play beyond state lines. Come and be in the know by the nature of where you're located at "A Cudahy Caroler Christmas," a theater production that has a bit of fun with Milwaukee south siders. The musical show includes numbers such as "O Little Town of Cudahy" to the tune of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "We T'ree Guys" for "We Three Kings."
Or how about a version of "The Nutcracker" in trees and poinsettias rather that ballerinas and toy soldiers? Or, if you are in the mood for some dance, why not stop in to see some studying dancers and support the work they do with a pay-what-you-can bargain. »Read Full Blog Post

The clip only two visas from Casablanca (1942) with Sydney Greenstreet I was just telling Monsieur Laszlo that unfortunately I'm not able to help him. You see, my dear, word has gone around. As leader of all illegal activities in Casablanca, I am influential and respected. But it would not be worth my life to do anything for Monsieur Laszlo. You, however, are a different matter. Signor Ferrari thinks it might just be possible to get an exit visa for you. You mean for me to go on alone? And only alone. I'll stay here and keep on trying. I'm sure in a little while... Might as well be frank, monsieur. It would take a miracle to get you out. The Germans have outlawed miracles. We are only interested in two visas. Please, Ilsa, don't be hasty. No, Victor. You two will want to discuss this. Excuse me. I'll be at the bar. No, Ilsa. I won't let you stay here. You must get to America. Believe me, somehow I will get out and join you. But if the situation were different... ...if I had to stay and there were only visa for one... ...would you take it? Yes, I would. Yes, I see. When I had trouble getting out of Lille, why didn't you leave me there? When I was sick in Marseilles for two weeks and you were in danger every minute... ...why didn't you leave me then? I meant to, but something always held me up. I love you very much, Ilsa. Your secret will be safe with me. Ferrari is waiting for our answer. Not more than 50 francs.

Last year, we asked the youth of the DRC what they thought the future of the Congo forests was, and they answered louder than we ever expected – we received 2600 poems that were real cries from the heart of youths who see the future of the forest and, by extension, their future being jeopardized by unsustainable forest management.
Now, we're putting the winning poems into song!
Greenpeace's Forest Song will be recorded by famous African musicians, and we want you to be in the video.
What we need from you:
This anthemic call from the youth of the Congo forests will highlight the beauty of the second largest rainforest in the world, and why we need to protect and preserve it. Let us hear your voice!
