13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
Whittier College athletes will soon be seen around the streets of Whittier utilizing a new and dynamic training tool– the ElliptiGO, a high-intensity, low-impact running device that can be used for rehabilitation and supplemental training. Alumnus Bill Pate '65 and alumnus and former Whittier College runner John Pilkington '78 – avid users of the innovative, outdoor training machine—are donating an ElliptiGo package, worth approximately $6,000, to the College's tra
ck & field and cross country teams. The package includes two ElliptiGO 8C elliptical bicycles, a set of accessories, and a stationary trainer for indoor use.
In an informal ceremony scheduled for noon on Friday, March 7, at the Aubrey Bonham Track on the Whittier College campus, Pate, father of ElliptiGO founder Bryan Pate, and Pilkington will present the donation to Whittier's head coach for cross country, Greg Phillips, and members of the Poet running teams. At that time, the student-athletes will have their first chance to try out the new machines.
"We're thrilled at the prospect of adding the ElliptiGO to our sports programs in track and cross-country," says Rob Coleman, Whittier's athletic director. "This cutting-edge product is being used by top-performing athletes all over the world right now, and its inclusion into our athletes' training regime will certainly enhance our preparation for competitions and hopefully help us achieve even greater success—both in our division as a team, and individually among our runners."
"In particular, I'm excited to explore its application in terms of injury rehabilitation," says Coach Phillips. "We have a strong roster of athletes in both programs, but invariably we lose runners at different points in the season due to injury. Getting them back on the track in reasonable time, and with no loss of fitness, is always challenging. But we anticipate the ElliptiGO will significantly help in this regard."
Featured in a variety of news programs and magazines including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and "Good Morning, America," the ElliptiGO has a growing fanbase spanning multiple continents. In addition to thousands of recreational runners, over 25 universities and well over 100 elite athletes are now integrating the ElliptiGO into their training programs. The device, which resembles the stationary elliptical cardio machines found in most gyms, has been custom-engineered for outdoor cycling, offering multiple levels of resistance for interval and strength training and suitable for a variety of outdoor terrains and conditions.
Poet runners will join world-class athletes—such as 2009 New York City Marathon champion and 2004 Olympic silver medalist Meb Keflezighi, and U.S. middle distance runner, five-time USA Outdoor champion, and 2012 Olympian Alysia Montaño—in using the ElliptiGO to achieve individual athletic goals. Keflezighi, considered by many to be the top U.S. distance runner for the past decade, is the most recent addition to the ElliptiGO Project – a grouping of top athletes focused on using innovative training tools and techniques to improve performance.
Currently, about 90 students participate on the Whittier College cross country and track and field teams; roughly one-quarter of these athletes compete in both sports. Last spring, the Poets' track and field season concluded with two athletes named All-American, one earning the NCAA Division III Championship title in the 400 meter, several individual recognitions in conference, and All-Academic Team honors for the women's program. The 2013 Poets' cross country season concluded with several conference honors for individual achievement on the field, and with the women's program entering its sixth consecutive year as an NCAA All-Academic Team.

Baked Eyeshadow is similar to many other "baked" pressed-powder eyeshadows on the market. Although "baked" powders have been around for some time, from several lines, they aren't any more impressive than other pressed-powder eyeshadows.
Despite the fact that baked eyeshadows don't have any advantage over other powder eyeshadows, Ulta's take on the baked trend is quite good. Their dome-shaped pressed-powder eyeshadow comes in a compact with a generously sized pan. Each compact has two shades, although there isn't a divider between the solid and the marbled sides, which means you have to be careful to avoid mingling the powders.
Both the solid and the marbled shades have a high-shine satin finish with some sparkle. The smooth texture blends easily and yields highly pigmented color that doesn't flake. Baked Eyeshadow can be used wet or dry, and is available in neutral earth tones as well as pinks and purples (the brighter colors are trickier to work with).

Ulta Beauty At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; several good mascaras; the blush, brow pencil, eyeshadows, and most of the foundations are worth a look; a few intriguing skin-care products (but nothing you cannot find from lots of other brands).
Weaknesses: Testers are not always available nor are the Ulta displays consistently clean; bad liquid eyeliners; poor-to-average cleansers; nothing-special pencil eyeliners; requires careful shopping because the makeup is such a mixed bag--for every good product there are two unimpressive ones.
Since Ulta was founded in 1990, the company has continued to carve out a unique position as a specialty beauty store by offering a large selection of upscale and drugstore cosmetics in all price ranges, all under one roof. There are currently over 675 Ulta locations across the United States, and, like Sephora, Ulta sells its own product line right alongside more familiar brands such as Revlon, Murad, and philosophy.
The Ulta Collection offers a variety of basic makeup products, from foundation to eye shadow to lip gloss. Nearly all items in the Ulta Collection are inexpensive, and its lower price point is a major draw.
As with most cosmetics lines, Ulta has its share of good and bad products; however, it seems for every good to great makeup product the line has two average-to-poor options. Testers may or may not be available, so choose wisely.
Among the safer categories of Ulta makeup are the eyeshadows, many of the mascaras, brow products, and most of the foundations, particularly the cream-to-powder and powder formulas.
Despite our enthusiasm for Ulta's large selection of eyeshadow, the quality is inconsistent, especially when it comes to texture and how they apply, even among different shades in the same category. The best way to shop this line is to pay attention to which products we've reviewed favorably and to take extra time to play with the products in-store (assuming the Ulta you frequent keeps testers available).
In recent years, Ulta has branched out from makeup to skin care. Their namesake skin care has the same affordable price point as the makeup, and some of the products are actually quite good. Skip the cleansers, ignore the moisturizers in jar packaging, and forget about the pore-tightening products...the rest is worth exploring, but again, this is not a brand to shop without some knowledge of what you're buying and how it performs.

Hunters Are Silenced In Gun Debate
Throughout Chautauqua County, there are hundreds of hunters who have never had a single mishap with their gun.
They are law-abiding citizens. Their guns don't end up used in robberies or murders. Children aren't shot with those guns. They have little to lose from many of the regulations in the NY SAFE act or similar federal legislation proposed by President Barack Obama.
According to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service statistics, 13.7 million people went hunting in the United States in 2011 – and two-thirds of those hunters aren't among the NRA's 4 million members. Yet, by default, hunters allow themselves to be represented in the gun debate by the NRA. When the NRA refuses to acknowledge the need for any gun legislation, it is doing a disservice to those same people on whose behalf the NRA allegedly speaks. The same goes for Ted Nugent, who is better off sticking with his guitar than speaking on behalf of hunters.
Hunters like those in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties own guns because they want to put food on their table and feel closer to the land. They own guns to participate in a sporting activity. They aren't likely to go hunting with a weapon that needs a 30-round clip. They're very unlikely to shoot at a volunteer firefighter or to have irregular ammunition purchases that would be a red flag to those reviewing the state's ammunition purchase database.
Through little fault of their own, hunters are lumped in with the increasingly extremist stances taken by the NRA. Hunters need a group all their own. Such an organization could oppose a ban on "semiautomatic" guns, a class that does include many legitimate sporting weapons, while supporting steps to improve public safety – like the sale of large-magazine firearms that hunters would never use. The organization could also bring a voice on other hunting issues – the loss of wildlife habitat and open space, for example.
Judging from Letters to the Editor and other commentary received recently, there are quite a few hunters out there who feel as if they have no voice.
The only ones who can change that are hunters.

Free rides offered for New Year's
ESCANABA – Those looking for a safe ride home have one more reason to celebrate this New Year's Eve as the Liferides program returns to Delta County for its 30th year.
The program, which aims to reduce alcohol-related traffic accidents, is sponsored by OSF St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group and the Island Resort & Casino, and will provide free rides to those celebrating the new year from 11 p.m. on Dec. 31 through 5 a.m. on Jan. 1.
JN Taxi and Escanaba Taxi will be offering rides throughout Delta County during this time with assistance from City Cab of Gladstone, which will also offer rides within Gladstone. Those in need of a ride in Escanaba should call 786-4448 or 786-1122. Rides in Gladstone can be requested by calling 420-2939.
"When they call for a ride they should specify they want a New Year's Eve Liferide," said Lanna Scannel, community & government relations manager and director of development at OSF St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group.
Bus service for passengers traveling shorter distances will be available from Charter Celebration. The buses will be traveling along the main streets of Escanaba and Gladstone. No phone calls are needed for bus service.
When the Liferides program was started in 1983, New Year's Eve was chosen because of its association with parties and celebrations involving alcohol and a high number of alcohol-related traffic accidents and fatalities. Since the program began there have been no alcohol-related traffic accidents or fatalities in Delta County over the holiday.
Last year 622 passengers used taxi services through Liferides. While there is no count for the number of passengers who took advantage of the Liferides bus services, Scannel notes that serving more than 700 passengers on New Year's Eve by bus or taxi is typical.
"It's a little higher when (New Year's Eve) falls on a weekend but not substantially so," she added.
Those who choose not to take advantage of the program are encouraged to plan ahead and choose a designated driver, make plans to stay at a hotel, or with friends or family rather than driving after they have been drinking. However, the program is designed to give people celebrating another option to avoid getting behind the wheel.
"Liferides is a program in which the whole community participates. By planning ahead and making sure people who've had too much to drink do not get behind a wheel, we can keep our highways safe and prevent tragedies," said Angie Shiverski, special services manager for the Island Resort & Casino.
While OSF St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group and the Island Resort & Casino are the major sponsors of the Liferides program, other community members and groups have contributed to Liferides over the years. This year, sponsors include the Heart of the North Lions Club, Baybank, the Escanaba Rotary Club, the Sackerson Foundation, Escanaba area credit unions, the Escanaba Noon Kiwanis, the Community Foundation, Substance Abuse and Violence Education Council, Skradski-Boyce Funeral Homes, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and Bay College.
Donations to the Liferides program are tax-deductible and can be sent to the OSF Foundation at 3401 Ludington St., Escanaba, 49829. All checks should be made payable to the OSF Foundation and designated for "Liferides."

Mr. Versatility - Page 2
Do you have a favorite race or distance?
I really do like it all but if I had to pick one I think cross country is still my favorite race discipline. It's the thrill of the fast pace and intensity of the field all around you that you don't get in a trail race that makes it exciting.
Day job?
Had one, retired, although I do work as a footwear buyer for the Footzone in Bend right now. I focus on my running. I also coach a little on the side, and the rest of my time is filled with being a dad to two now.
Goals and races for 2013?
Lots. A couple good 50-milers. Continue to work on versatility by trying out for four different U.S. national teams—cross country, track, mountain running and 100K. Coming up next is XC in February and a three-day stage race in Chile, El Cruce Columbia. I'll focus on shorter distances in the spring and move to longer distances again in the fall most likely.
How do you balance family, work, training and racing?
With another kid now it is getting progressively more difficult. I do the best I can with getting it all in and, I'm not proud of it, but there are times when I'm lacking a full commitment to each of them.
To what do you attribute your ability to excel at a such a wide range of distances?
I've got a strong will and faith that the gifts I was given will allow me to reach my goals. It's a process and I'm willing to take the time to excel if I really believe I can do it. I reach a lot of my goals by simply outlasting and allowing my body to absorb the stress that I put on it. I'm certainly very blessed in what I've been able to accomplish and don't take it for granted.
What is the most common technique mistake you see in trail runners?
The biggest thing that I see is overstriding. A lot of runners can get away with this on the road with very repetitive strides. On a trail, though, overstriding doesn't allow you to react to the terrain, so it really becomes inefficient on more technical trails, not to mention increases the risk of twisting ankles and knees with a heel strike that is way out in front of your body. Shorten your stride on trails and try to get that foot to land under your center of mass.
What advice would you give to runners trying to improve their trail-race times?
Work on your weaknesses but don't neglect your strengths. Running hills has had the biggest impact on my long-distance fitness and staying strong toward the end of longer races. This can have a significant impact on times if you can hold your pace through to the finish.

It's that time of year ― time to catch the long list of Oscar-bait movies you couldn't possibly have completed last year. In the rush to be eligible for Academy Awards, studios rushed a whole ton of movies into theaters right around the holidays, and most people spend January and February catching up on Zero Dark Thirty, The Impossible, Django Unchained, and other likely nominees they may have missed.
That's why this early winter season is known as the "dumping ground" for schlocky major releases that don't even hope to compete with awards season favorites in terms of quality. Mediocre action, horror, and suspense tend to dominate the new releases as counter-programming for all those high-quality dramas still in theaters.
However, we have noticed a handful of appealing titles amidst the Oscar season run-off. It's just enough to give us something new to look forward to in the weeks leading up to the Oscars.
Here are 6 new movies to look forward to before Oscar night on February 24!

Dance features parents
Parents of Minot High School varsity dance team members are willing to take big risks to help raise money for the dance team.
Team members Ashley Backes and Elizabeth Foisy said that parents of the team members have agreed to do a hip-hop dance with their daughters at the annual home show, which will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Minot State University Dome. Admission is $5 for adults; $4 for children and students. Children ages 5 and under will be admitted for free.
"I think they get one practice," said Backes, a senior at Minot High School-Magic City Campus.
Few of the dancers' parents are dancers themselves, the girls said, which should make the performance fun for the audience.
The home show is a fundraiser for the program and will include performances by the Minot High varsity team, the junior varsity and middle school dance teams, as well as teams from Underwood, Center-Stanton and Garrison.
Backes and Foisy said the girls on the team will perform a pom dance, a jazz dance and a kick dance.
"We have a really awesome hip hop dance," said Backes, which will be "glow in the dark."
The dance team is a busy group. They competed in Minnesota last weekend and will compete at the state competition this coming weekend.
The varsity team is coached by Lori Lawson and KaDee Simensen.

Claremont Graduate University, Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences, and five highly regarded undergraduate colleges—Pomona, Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and Pitzer colleges—comprise The Claremont Colleges, a consortium unique in American higher education. Although located on contiguous campuses in the pleasant southern California city of Claremont, each institution has its own student body, faculty, governance, curricular emphasis, style, and mission.
Through intercollegiate cooperation, the Colleges provide university-scale services and facilities, including a two-million-volume library system, health and counseling centers, ethnic centers, an interfaith chaplaincy, a performing arts complex, and an ongoing panoply of events open to the Colleges community. In addition, the Claremont School of Theology and the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden are affiliated with Claremont Graduate University.
Because many of the 500 faculty members from the undergraduate colleges and affiliated institutions participate actively in Claremont Graduate University's programs, CGU students benefit from potential access to a faculty of far greater depth than the University could provide independently.
Claremont Graduate University
Providing advanced education for the future of society, Claremont Graduate University is dedicated exclusively to graduate study, awarding master's and doctoral degrees in 24 professional and academic disciplines. The academic divisions include Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Center for Information Systems & Technology, School of Arts & Humanities, School of Community & Global Health, Drucker School of Management, School of Educational Studies, and School of Social Science, Policy & Evaluation.
Pomona College
Pomona, founding member of the group, is an independent, coeducational college offering instruction in all major fields of the arts, humanities, social and natural sciences. Strongly committed to the value of a residential educational community, it emphasizes both liberal arts and paraprofessional training, providing students with considerable exposure to a wide range of fields and first-rate preparation for future professions.
Claremont University Consortium
CUC is the central planning and coordinating body of The Claremont Colleges and the nucleus of the cluster plan. It is responsible for the development of central academic resources and programs, intercollegiate organization and coordination, the establishment of new colleges and professional schools within the group, and the administration of central services and facilities.
Scripps College
Scripps is a liberal arts college for women. Its curriculum offers a wide variety of humanities, fine arts and social science courses. Scripps offers the bachelor of arts degree, with more than 30 majors in five fields: the arts, languages and literature, philosophy and religion, science, and social sciences.
Claremont McKenna College
CMC offers the bachelor of arts degree in 26 fields, often combined by students in dual majors. Most of the college's students choose a major or part of a dual major in economics, government or international relations. CMC is unique among liberal arts colleges in that it actively supports faculty and student research and publications through seven research institutes.
Harvey Mudd College
HMC is a coeducational college of science and engineering. The curriculum is designed to create scientists and engineers with unusual breadth in their technical education and a firm academic grounding in the humanities and social sciences. Engineering students may opt for a fifth-year master's program.
Pitzer College
Pitzer is a coeducational liberal arts college with a strong commitment to the values of a residential educational community. It offers concentrations in all major fields of the liberal arts with curricular emphasis on the social and behavioral sciences. Its particular strengths lie in encouragement of independent work and the development of a critical approach to the traditional disciplines.
Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences
Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences (KGI), the seventh and newest member of The Claremont Colleges, is the first American graduate school dedicated exclusively to the emerging fields of the applied life sciences. KGI's mission is to combine the vast power of ongoing developments in molecular biology, biotechnology, chemistry and related fields with creative, application-centered engineering. Professionally-oriented master's degrees requiring two full years of study will be KGI's primary offering, along with a smaller but highly innovative doctoral program to be initiated within a few years. KGI's first students enrolled in August 2000.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great event - well organised, fast and scenicIn full: Many thanks PWAC - this is a brilliant event. Largely closed roads, great Marshalls, slick start and finish admin. Nice medal and goody bag. Fast course if you're that way inclined. Cannot fault it, and come back every year hoping for a pb. Club runners and beginners in equal measure.Date of review: April 10, 2013
In short: Awesome event as alwaysDate of review: March 25, 2013
In short: Great first effort for this new eventIn full: Nice to have a new local event. Pretty much no frills, ie no finish clock, but very good supportive Marshalls. Route is mainly rural and flat with a couple of short climbs. Final footpath stretch through Hildenborough could get interesting if many people on it at once, as its a narrow stretch. Chose to run on road myself. Good event, mixed (very) fast people and beginners. Will be back next year. Good value as well, which is rare to say these days.Mental horse/rider combo added interest, but thats the nature of the quiet lanes used for the race.Date of review: March 18, 2013
In short: Classic tester before a spring marathon. Pleasant, no frills coastal routesIn full: Do this event every year. Very good organistaion and lovely supportive Marshalls. Probably bulk of runners are club people, as is a Kent GP event. Its a classic test of current ability before a spring marathon, so would suit all levels. Route is pleasant mainly along coastal paths. Suprisingly undulating! Would say average in terms of value - medal, water, choc bar at the end.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Great challenging 10 miler - pretty much do it every year. Certainly could do with some tweeksIn full: The course is really challenging - a proper 10 mile race - hills, scenic rural route. Not great value for money anymore. Think its popular because of its Kent GP status, as there is always a quality field.Prefer to get a mug! Probably will return as always looking to beat my previous times.Date of review: January 29, 2013
In short: My new favourite eventIn full: First time at this superb event. Organisation was brilliant. The route is scenic and the hills are short and sharp. Really good support on the way. Nice medal from the wonderful Dame kelly. Great atmosphere - good mix of club runners and new runners. Easily the best Half Ive done - traffic free roads! Will be back next year. By the way, the individual mile markers were spot on , although we seemed to do 13.2miles in total.Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Always a great, superbly organised event- nice and fastIn full: White Oak tri team always stage a great race. Particularly like this race as the bike is fast and the run is 8k, so runners can do well. Good value for money. Superb marshalls - even though they had to brace the dodgy weather this year.Date of review: July 12, 2012
In short: The Sussex Marathon is a hill monster - but what a stunning routeIn full: Well organised event. Beautifully scenic route, but never ending ups and downs. Really struggled in the 2nd half. Find the Beachy Head Marathon easier! Nice to get a quality medal and tech t shirt. Great marshalls and feed stations throughout.A few tweaks to the route would be nice - everyone was over on their Garmins - lose the extra 500metres. Great to have a quality marathon in this region.Date of review: April 2, 2012
In short: Great spring marathon prepIn full: Always a good tester before an April marathon. Once youve finished the loops at the start the route is mainly nice and scenic ( although undulating to say the least). Marshalls were great. PLenty of water, and the t shirt plus medal was welcome. Thanks ThanetDate of review: March 6, 2012
In short: Great no-frills event - getting a tad pricey for what it offersIn full: I like the challenging route offered. Wouldn't necessarily make the effort unless its a Grand prix event as it was this year. Took the train this year - no parking hassles! Hall was busy but it was freezing out, so what can you do.Medal was a bit rubbish - preferred the mug in 2011. Wouldnt say value for money.Date of review: February 2, 2012

My three week old baby screams his head off when I put him in his carseat. Any advice. I have been either not going any where or if I have to go like to the doc, I hold him (bad, I know), while my husband drives, because I can't stand to hear him scream and he actually get tears already! We have made several adjustments to make it more comfortable for him, but nothing seems to work. Any advice is welcome.
No announcement yet.

Have you tried nursing him in the car seat? It can be a contortionist trick BUT does make it worth it!
You may not have your seat belt on properly but the baby does.
I would kneel next to the seat and lean over the baby...expose breast and pop it in! hold onto the headrest of the nearest seat. At times I would prop my breast up to his level with a hat or whatever I could find to help.
That does not help you when you have to drive alone.... That is another issue.
I've had this with both babies! It does get better!
Naomi, I'd love a pic of that, I can't figure out how to do it.
I will admit I've been a bit naughty with this baby and left her in the sling a few times vs going in the car seat, it's never been more than a mile and here the cars go so slow. But it really is a bad idea, but in a sling is better than your arms should you HAVE to do it. Again though, it's a risk, and only YOU as a parent can make that choice.
have you tried baby sucking your finger? Soon toys will work a bit, how upright is the car seat? They do make car seats that lay flat that help for some.
My DS hated car seat until he was old enough to snack the whole time, use to break my heart.
I hope it improves soon

dedra---leader, api of stark co., ohio
MomMom and devoted wife to 3 creatures of delight
i have 2 possible solutions.
1. put a solid-color blanket over the back of your car's seat, where the baby faces. the patterning in the car's fabric can make some babies NUTS. this sounds simple, but has worked for babies that i know.
2. switch from the baby-carrier/bucket-type carseat to a convertible. if you're using a bucket, they tend to fold the baby up a bit and can hurt the baby's insides. you can got to one of those big baby stores, like Babies R Us, and they can let you put one in your car in the lot, you put the baby in to see if it makes a difference before you purchase it. just tell them you want to make sure the seat is going to be compatible w/your car, which they suggest you do anyway.
i really wouldn't ride w/him in your arms. i know it's hard to hear him scream, but if you should be spied by a police officer, or someone should turn you in, you may find yourself before Child Protective Services. you really don't want that headache!
I second the carseat suggestion!
We got a "cadillac" convertible for dd1 and she never really fussed at all about the car seat...
DD2 ended up with a passed down infant seat that didn't look nearly as cushy, and she has sure made her protests known.
we didn't go places much either unless shehad just fallen asleep, or was just up from sleeping and in a happy spell.
I have the same problem with ds - he is 7 months now and still doesn't fall asleep in the carseat. When he gets tired he still cries. So I can say it does get better but not great.
what I used to do is give myself plenty of time to get somewhere and I would pull over every 10 minutes - 15 if I could handle it - if he wasn't screaming too badly - and take him out - cuddle/nurse him for 5 minutes or so and then explain to him what was happening - put him back in and do it again in 10-15 minutes.
Sounds ridiculous I know - but I couldn't handle my poor LO crying like that and I wouldn't take him out of his seat due to safety - i was too scared.
Basically I don't go anywhere by myself with him that takes longer than 20 minutes to get there - now that he's 7 months if I can sit in the back with him - I can keep him entertained with toys or food. Things definitely turned around when he started eating and I could give him rice cakes in the car.
I have tried the above trick too - nursing him while my husband drives!!! it's tricky but it works!
My little girl did exactly the same thing. It certainly is heartbreaking to listen to. On shorter trips I found that constantly talking to her or singing helped - she would usually settle down a little bit and I felt that she would still know I was there (I was worried about her feeling abandoned).
Aria is 7mths old now and things have been a lot better in the car for a few months now. She is more relaxed and will just sleep most of the time. At about 3mths we also bought her some toys that hang on a kind of arch that clips over her seat. She loves playing with them as they dangle in front of her.
In the early days I whipped out a boob as well and that was the only thing that would console her on long trips.
I certainly feel for you.

Cramer Quick Take: Not Biting on McDonald's
While the company did report in-line revenue results, it missed on the bottom line by 2 cents. That added to the recent string of disappointments, with McDonald's missing three of the past four estimates going into today's report.
The company blamed higher gas prices at the pump, but Cramer pointed out that Yum! Brands
He added that perhaps consumers are really starting to shift their focus toward fresh and healthy foods, enabling companies like Panera Bread Company
Although he said that he thinks CEO Don Thompson is doing a good job, the numbers haven't been "dazzling" like they used to be in the past.
Cramer added that the stock will be headed to $90 per share in a hurry if investors continue to see these kinds of results.
He also said that he doesn't expect McDonald's to make a move into the fast-casual industry, saying that it had already spun off Chipotle, but that offering food with integrity would help. However, that would be hard to do without compromising prices.
While he'd love to recommend the stock because it's a great company, Cramer said that he can't at the current price.

ResearchMolecular Targeted Agents and Signal Transduction Inhibitors
Sarcomas are a microcosm of solid tumor oncology: different sarcomas are increasingly being defined by molecular signatures and biological characteristics rather than by simple histopathology. Our group is translating this research on the basic biology of sarcomas into new therapeutics directed at novel targets.
The foremost example of our team's work has been the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors as effective therapies for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). By targeting the specific molecular signals of GIST, we have validated the concept that a human solid tumor can be treated by signal transduction inhibitors. This work led to the development and FDA approval of imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) as an effective therapy for patients with metastatic or unresectable GIST, and underlies our ongoing research in other novel agents, such as the kinase inhibitor SU11248.
Another example of molecular targeting of sarcomas in drug development is our pioneering interest in differentiation therapy for patients with liposarcomas. This research targets a nuclear receptor known as PPAR-gamma, which plays a role in the normal development of fat cells, and induces differentiation in liposarcomas to decrease proliferation. Larger studies based on our pilot data are now being designed to test the clinical value of this treatment, which we are refining with newer agents and methods.
Our group also is developing other agents against sarcomas, such as the natural product known as ET-743, derived from a marine organism. This drug, which binds to the DNA minor groove, has shown important clinical activity against several subtypes of sarcomas both in the laboratory and in extensive clinical trials. We are optimizing the dosage for this agent and moving forward in collaboration with other cancer centers to test the worth of this new drug.
Our multidisciplinary research team, including dedicated representatives from surgical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, and other clinical arenas, works closely with laboratory investigators so that we can offer promising treatments of scientific merit to patients with sarcomas of soft tissue and bone.

Optimism grows over prospect of equities revival
European investment bankers are beginning to sense a shift in sentiment among investors, with appetite for higher yields creating a sustained move into equities for the first time since the middle of 2008 and demand for riskier credit in the financial and sovereign sectors.
Last week, the FTSE 100 index hit levels not seen since May 2008. The S&P 500 is currently hovering around a five-year high. According to data from research company EFPR, inflows into global equity funds were the highest since 2007.
Inflows into US equity funds hit $18.3bn for the week ending January 9, according to fund data provider Lipper, the fourth largest inflow since records began in 1992.
Lipper's Tom Roseen said that excluding ETF activity "[US] investors were much more risk-seeking after the budget agreement surrounding the fiscal cliff", adding that domestic equity funds saw net inflows of $4bn last week, with non-domestic equity funds taking in $3.5bn.
Tim Skeet, managing director of RBS Financial Institutions Group, said: "Psychologically, the market has decided the euro will survive. That's what's made the difference."
Marisa Drew, global co-head of global market solutions group at Credit Suisse, said: "Last year when people couldn't decide whether there was going to be Armageddon in Europe they were not prepared to take equity risk. They wanted the downside protection of a coupon. Now we're past that. You see it in every cycle – you start in investment grade, then you move down the credit spectrum to high-yield, then you see converts pop up and then you go down to equity."
Confidence was given a boost last week when ArcelorMittal, a steel company, attracted $20bn of demand from investors for $4bn in mandatory convertible notes and stock, a target that was increased from an initial $3.5bn estimate, according to bankers on the deal.
Half the demand for ArcelorMittal paper was from the US.
Yacine Amor, head of the equity-linked team for Emea at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said: "The big, big trend right now is US managers being much more bullish around Europe."
Percival Stanion, head of multi-asset at Baring Asset Management, is buying equities. He said: "US growth is picking up on an underlying basis – housing is definitely lifting. All this will help durable sales and lift more people out of negative equity. Europe is still struggling, but is probably past the worst and ECB has a full toolkit to stabilise a crisis."
Jim O'Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said the premium return offered by equities over cash is generous, adding that real interest rates are low.
Bankers cite the ECB's commitment to intervene in struggling European sovereign bond markets via its Outright Monetary Transactions facility as being behind the improvement in sentiment in Europe. Stanion said that the risk on/risk off trade came to an end when the ECB made a commitment to do whatever was needed to support the euro. No purchases have yet been made, but the facility is in place for when a government makes the request and is prepared to make the conditions attached to intervention.
Gary Jenkins of Swordfish Research on Friday wrote: "The ECB have removed the short-term risk of a liquidity crisis of a sovereign and thus the major risk to the eurozone is one of a slightly slower burning nature concerning the economy's influence on politics."
The iTraxx Main index, measuring secondary investment-grade corporate credit spreads, tightened by 29% over the course of 2012. Yields have also been coming down in high-yield: for the three months to October 19, the average yield on BB-rated bonds dipped below 6% for the first time ever, hitting a historical low of 5.62%.
One head of corporate debt capital markets said: "I think all the fun this year in the bond market is going to be in financials and to a lesser extent sovereigns. We're seeing it already. Given the tightening in investment grade and corporate credit, people ask if there's much more performance they can get out of those markets. Do they go to Volkswagen at 78 basis points over swaps or Ireland at 250bp? Or do they go into equities, where the FTSE 100 was 3.5% up in the first 10 days of the year?"
Cameron Brandt, director of research at EFPR Global, said: "Calling a trend occurs over a much shorter time than it used to."

Should You Delay Taking Social Security?
Some people in poor health may be inclined to take benefits early. After all, there is little point in waiting if you expect to die in your 60s. People in good health must make a judgment about their life expectancies.
If you start collecting at 70 and die in your early 80s, you would receive about the same total benefits as someone who began collecting at 62. But if you expect to live well into your 80s, then you have good reason to postpone benefits.
Most people should delay taking benefits as long as possible, says Richard Johnson, director of the retirement policy program at the Urban Institute.
Johnson says that retirees should view Social Security as an insurance policy that should be used for protection against hardship. "By waiting to increase monthly payments, you improve your retirement security," he says.

About the Author: Jack Bobo serves as Senior Advisor for Biotechnology in the Bureau of Economic, Energy, and Business Affairs.
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization announced this week that the number of chronically malnourished people around the world dropped slightly to less than one billion. However, with more than 900 million people still going to bed hungry every night and with a global population expected to reach nine billion by 2050, the challenge of ensuring that everyone has access to affordable, safe and nutritious food, produced in a more sustainable manner, has never been greater.
The Bureau of Economic, Energy and Business Affairs is working to feed a hungry and growing world in a variety of ways. We reduce barriers to trade, increase agricultural investments, and develop and adopt new agricultural technologies. The United States is a leader in agricultural production and technology, creating jobs and raising rural incomes. The value of U.S. agricultural exports doubled between 2000 and 2010, so maintaining and expanding these exports requires transparent, predictable, and science-based regulations overseas in order to access international markets. Such regulations would also benefit the host country by creating opportunities for agricultural investment and technology transfer between U.S. businesses and companies abroad.
Agricultural biotech -- aka "ag biotech" -- is one of many new technologies that offer the promise of increasing productivity and farmer incomes, while reducing the negative impact of agriculture on the environment. American farmers have benefited greatly by the adoption of this technology, and now foreign farmers are also seeking access to this technology. For example, in the short span of seven years, 2002 to 2008, Bt cotton in India has generated economic benefits for farmers valued at $5.1 billion and contributed to the doubling of yield, transforming India from a cotton importer to a major exporter. Over the next five years the global acreage of biotech crops will continue to expand, including drought tolerant varieties that require less water to thrive. As the number of biotech products grows, countries will need regulations in place in order to make use of the technology. How a country regulates these products will determine whether outside companies will invest in that country's markets and impact the cost of agricultural trade.
I will travel to Thailand and Indonesia this week to participate in workshops organized by the International Life Sciences Institute to examine international standards for biotechnology regulation. We are working toward standards that will ensure the safety of products and the environment, while at the same time promoting safe and fair trade and access to the technology for all farmers.

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done (the more detail, the better)?
A: I have never had a fear of flying, but I recently took a night flight in a very small, single engine plane with a training pilot. Thankfully, we had great weather and a beautiful flight but it was a very different experience flying without the luxuries of a large aircraft.
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: I have recently learned how to make my mom's recipe for blanched green beans with shallots, one of my favorite foods to eat with any meal. I'm not a natural cook so the process took me a while to learn, but now I can make it with little to no mistakes and I think it definitely rivals her original recipe!
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: I would spend part of the 10 million dollars on a state-of-the-art home theater because I watch movies all the time. I'm definitely a self-proclaimed movie buff and will watch anything from western classics with John Wayne to Will Farrell comedies like ELF. I always enjoy movie nights with my friends or with my sisters and having a room specifically for that would be my ultimate splurge.
I would put the remaining money in a savings account.
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: Joan Rivers. After watching her on the latest season of the Celebrity Apprentice, she became my instant favorite. Not only was she a very headstrong competitor, she was also the most business-savvy of the contestants.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: I thrive in front of a microphone! I love public speaking; it's a passion of mine that used to be one of my biggest fears. When I was 15, I decided to enter a speech competition with no prior experience or knowledge of the competition itself. The title of my speech was "My Most Admired American Woman", who happened to be Audrey Hepburn, and that evening I took home the 1st place prize for the state of Wisconsin.

How To Consolidate Your 401(k)s
By Paul Menchaca
NEW YORK (MainStreet) --For professionals in their 30s, a decade-plus spent in the workforce not only means that they've held a number of different jobs at different companies but also that they've held multiple 401(k)s spread across their former employers. But all too often, people have not taken the steps to consolidate these stray pension plan accounts.
"It's a significant problem," says Kile Lewis, co-CEO and founder of oXYgen Financial, a full-service family office in Alpharetta, Ga. for clients in their 20s and 30s -- or the so-called Generations X and Y. "One of the biggest issues for this demographic is they have four or five small accounts, and so it doesn't seem like a lot of money to them."
In fact, Lewis says that he recently met with a young married couple who each had multiple old 401(k)s, with roughly $3,000, $7,000, $8,000 and $9,000 in them respectively. Rather than figuring out a way to consolidate those accounts, the couple instead decided to cash them out.
"They said that they didn't think it was a lot of money," Lewis says. "I said, 'That's $30,000, buddy.'"
Steven B. Goldstein, vice president and private CFO at oXYgen, says the chance to have immediate money on hand can unfortunately be too tempting for some people in their 30s to pass up.
"For people in this age group there are other cash-flow needs -- maybe they recently bought a home or just had kids and they are cash-flow strapped," Goldstein says. "They see this as a source of money if they cash
How to Play Your Options
The best strategy for consolidating these old 401(k)s will not necessarily be the same for everyone, according to Sarah Walsh, vice president of retirement solutions at Fidelity Investments. Although the most common piece of advice one may hear from friends and family is to rollover your old 401(k) accounts into an IRA, this might not always be the right option.
Walsh gives four different approaches people can take with their old accounts: leave them in place, roll them over into a current company's 401(k), roll them into an IRA or take a distribution in cash. The last option is strongly discouraged by Fidelity, Walsh notes, because of the tax hit and potential withdrawal penalties.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General Description
Carapace: The integument is thin, reflective, and minutely punctuate. The rostrum is almost distally curved, and is perceptibly elevated above the horizontal in the distal half, with a sharply pointed tip. It reaches one-third to three-quarters the length of the second peduncular article of the antennule. The rostrum length measures one-quarter to one-third the carapace length. The dorsal margin is raised into a thin serrate crest containing 9–12 teeth (with 4–6 teeth on the carapace proper) of decreasing strength towards the distal end. About two-thirds of the length of the crest is continued onto the carapace, with a posterior-most tooth arising from two-thirds of the carapace length. The base of the rostrum deflects from the dorsal line of the carapace at ca. 15°. The ventral margin is less prominent and is armed with 2–6 subterminal teeth. The rostral tooth formulas (dorsal/ventral) from collected specimens are 12/6, 10/2, 10/4, 10/4, 10/2, 10/3, 9/4,10/4, 11/4, and 9/6. The lateral carina is broadened proximally and is confluent with the orbital margin. The carapace has a distinct acuminate antennal spine, and there is a pterygostomian that is acuminate and prominent. A prominent antennal carina curves posteroventrally to intersect obliquely with a carina that extends from the pterygostomial spine at about the mid-length of the carapace. An associated groove continues indistinctly posterior.
Abdomen: The abdomen of both the male and female are broadly arched dorsally, with the narrowest part of sixth somite about one-half the width of first somite. The fourth somite is drawn posterolaterally into an acuminate spine, and is flanked dorsally by 0–4 much more slender and smaller spines. The posterolateral corner of the fifth pleuron is acuminate and has 2–4 spines dorsally that are analogous to those on the fourth somite. The sixth somite has a mid-dorsal length about 1.5–1.8 times that of the fifth somite, and is 1.2–1.8 times as long as wide, and has a smaller acute posterolateral spine. Only the fifth somite has a strong, posteriorly directed spine on the sternite.
Telson: The telson is elongate and subrectangular. It has a length of ca. 2.4–2.9 times its anterior width, 2.9–3.3 times posterior width, and is about 1.4–1.8 times the length of sixth somite (not including the posterior spines). The telson is armed with 7 pairs of dorsolateral spines that are nearly uniform in size. The anterior-most pair are slightly smaller than the 6 posterior-most pairs. The posterior margin is concave with a distinct notch that has a depth of 0.1–0.2 times the posterior width of the telson. The posterior margin of telson has 6–10 pairs of spines on each side of the notch, which can be unequally paired. Sample telson spine formulas from several specimens are 7/8, 6/6, 8/10, 6/6, 7/7, 6/6, and 7/6 on left and right sides of the notch, respectively. The telson overreaches the posterior margin of the uropods.
Eyes: The eyes have a cornea that is imperfectly developed and unfaceted, though it is diffusively pigmented in adults (no juveniles were analyzed), and an internal facet-like pattern is evident. The cornea is ovate in outline though fused to each other mesially, and each with a small upturned spine on the anterodorsal surface.
Antennae: The antennular peduncle reaches the distal margin of the antennal scale. The first article measures 1.1–1.5 times the length of second, and about 1.9–2.3 times the length of third (all measured on the ventral margin). The stylocerite is well separated from the peduncle, and has a tapering to slender elongate tip that variably reaching as far as three-quarters to the full length of the second article. The basal article has a dorsolateral margin that extends into a strong lateral spine that reaches half the length of second article and that is closely appressed to the second article. There is a small distal spine ventrally, but no obvious distomesial spine. The second article is shorter but has a stronger mesiodistal spine. The dorsolateral and ventromesial flagella are approximately equal in length, measuring about the same length as the carapace. The flagella are thickened in the basal half. The antennal scale has a length 1.6–2.3 times its width. There is a strong distolateral tooth that falls short of the broadly rounded distal margin of the blade.
Mandible: The mandibles are similar, having a 2-segmented palp, a distal segment with long setae on the lateral margin, and a proximal segment with 4 long, plumose setae on the distolateral margin. The incisor process has an upper portion that bears 1 blunt tooth, whilst the lower portion projects further than upper, with 8 sharp teeth. The process distinct from the incisor process, separated from it by a deep notch, and having a rounded tip that lacks minute setae.
First maxilla: The proximal endite is oval, curving anteriorly (dished anteriorly) and bears numerous distal marginal setae that are densest around the narrow anteromesial tip. The proximal endite armed with teeth on the distolateral margin. The distal endite has a broad base, and the distal margin curves anteriorly. It is not armed with teeth, but there are numerous setae on the proximal margin and the posterior surface, with longer plumose setae placed regularly around the distal tip and the lateral margin of the endite. The palp has a round tip and mesial, subterminal notch that does not have setae.
Second maxilla: The endites are dished anteriorly, and are densely setose distally on the margins and submarginally. The proximal endite consists of 2 lobes, with distal lobe having a small, setose protrusion on the anterior margin. The distal endite is spatulate in the posterior view, with a uniform row of small setae along the lateral margin. The palp is straight with a short row of small, plumose setae on the lateral margin, and with an unarmed tip. The scaphognathite is almost rounded anteriorly, and is fringed with long plumose setae anteriorly. There are shorter plumose setae on the mesial and lateral margins, that narrow to acuminate. The posterior lobe is armed around the tip and the mesial margin with a series of very long, strong setae. There is a row of small setae proximally on the mesial margin.
First maxilliped: The endite is strongly dished anteriorly, and is fringed along the lateral margin by dense setae. Along the anterior margin there is a fringe of numerous plumose setae. The exopod is ovate, fringed distally by long plumose setae, and has a submarginal ridge laterally. The palp is reduced and is rounded with setae. The epipod is bilobed and unarmed.
Second maxilliped: Pediform, but rather flattened. The coxa is fringed mesially by long, dense, plumose setae. The fused basis-ischium has a regular mesial row of long, strong, sparsely plumose setae opposite the margin and merus. The carpus and propodus are bordered by long, plumose setae, whilst the dactylus is bordered by long plumose or serrate setae, which form a particularly dense, nest-like pad around the mesial part of the dactyl. The epipod is leaf-like, and unarmed. The podobranch is rudimentary with a pointed tip, and the mesial branch is without terminal seta, and there are no tooth-like projections observed on the lateral margin.
Third maxilliped: Long and 4-segmented, reaching as far as the distal end of the antennal scale. The terminal segment is triangular in cross-section, and tapers distally. The tip has 2 spines and additional setae. There is an irregular row of about 4 additional spines subterminally on the mesial face. 5 groups of distally directed serrate setae are arranged in close-set, transverse tracts along the mesial face, with the groups overlapping to form a longitudinal pad. The posterolateral face of the terminal segment is somewhat dished, and the angle between the posterolateral and anterolateral faces is armed with a row of 7 or 8 slender spines or spine-like setae. The carpus has pads of dense setae on the distal two-thirds that are similar and adjacent to those of the terminal segment. The merus-ischium has a row of long, plumose setae. The coxa has a small epipod, with tuft of long, plumose setae at the junction.
First pereopod (P1): Reaches to half the length of the terminal segment on the third maxilliped. P1 is robust, and has fingers that curve downwards and outwards, together being concave laterally. The fixed finger is twice the width of the dactyl basally, and the opposing edges of the fingers are each armed with a row of minute uniform teeth that are close-set against one another. The teeth on the dactyl are somewhat longer than on the fixed finger. The row on the dactyl is angled towards the convex side to interdigitate with the teeth on the fixed finger. The finger tips are slightly spooned by the teeth fanned around the edge, with the teeth of the fixed finger fused to form a corneous edge around the lateral border of the dactyl tip. There is a line of sensory setae on moving finger's concave surface that run parallel to the teeth, although the setae on the fixed finger are not obvious. The dactyl fractionally outreaches the fixed finger, with the palm measuring half the length of the finger in both males and females. The carpus is short, cone-shaped, and is cupped distally to accommodate the palm. The is a small blunt protuberance on distomesial margin of the carpus, and a lateral ridge that is produced distally into a strong process with a pinched tip. A dense, clearly delineated pad of strong, serrate setae are situated posteriorly between the pinched and smaller process. The merus and ischium are somewhat flattened.
Second pereopod (P2): Shorter and more slender than P1, reaching half the length of the antennal scale. The fingers are subequal to the palm, and are similar in size and shape. The opposing edges are without a gap, each is pectinate with a single row of short teeth that are directed obliquely distally. Each row begins about 0.2 mm from base of the dactyl. The fixed finger has teeth along its entire length that increase slightly in size distally, and terminating in a larger spine at each finger tip. The terminal spines cross when the chela is closed, with 2 tufts of long setae on the dactyl. The ischium has a single spine at about three-quarters length.
Third to fifth pereopods (P3–P5): Similar in length although the merus becomes progressively shorter from P3 to P5 and the propodus longer. P3 outreaches the antennal scale by 0.5 times the propodus. The dactyls is short, and is armed with a single corneous spine and a single accessory spinule in the holotype. There were 2 rows of 4 or 5 accessory spinules in the paratypes on the flexor surface, with the smallest located proximally and longest distally. The propodus has an irregular, composite row of spines ventrolaterally that become denser distally. This row is shortest and sparsest on P3, and longest and densest on P5. The carpus of each pereopod has a distodorsal extension over the proximal extensor surface of the propodus. The ischium and merus of P3 are stronger than in P4-P5. The meri of P3-P4 have 3 spines, but are without spines on P5. The ischium of the pereopods is armed with 2 posteroventral spines on P3-P4, whilst there are none or 1 on P5.
Pleopods: Well developed, with endopods about half the length of exopod on the first pleopod, and subequal with the exopod in pleopods 2–5. The appendix interna of pleopods 2–4 are well developed and smooth, whilst that of pleopod 5 is twice as wide, parallel-sided, and has 30–50 cincinnuli distributed in a fingernail-shaped pad at the tip on the mesial surface. The appendix masculina has approximately 8 slender spines around the tip and subterminally.
Uropods: The uropods have a subequal exopod and endopod, and are slightly shorter than the telson. The exopod has a movable spine mesial to a distolateral tooth that is half its length. The diaresis is sinuous.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Floridafran flattering suit Last Fall I had almost given up hope of finding a new suit that was both age appropriate (I'm 60+) and attractive. I've never bought a suit without trying it on but loved the look of this one and decided to risk ordering it. Four women on the cruise, from their 20s and up, asked me where I'd gotten my suit. And I only wore it to the pool once because the weather was quite chilly. Every time I've worn it since then I've received compliments. Yes, it's a bit of work to get on and off (especially when wet) but it wouldn't do its job if it "gave" too much. It's been worth every penny I paid for it. Just wish it came in other colors. I'd love some deep jewel tones. June 27, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by grammenj Beautiful My husband really wanted me to have this suit, we are in our 70's. I normally wear a 4/6 size in travel smith clothing. I took a chance on the size 8 after reading others reviews. The suit fit perfectly. There is a little tugging to do when putting on and taking off. In any event it is "Beautiful" & well made. April 8, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Viva Wow 55 years old and this suit took off 10 years. Suit made me look like the woman in the photo! March 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Buyer2306 Halter swim suit Love the style,sexy and slimming. The only concern is that the fit in the legs are a little big and the bust support isn't enough,would like it to push you up a bit more but glad I purchased this suit April 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hide Perfect way to hide a scar The wide straps of this suit look great, give great support and hide a scar near my shoulder ! April 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MaryQuiteContrary flattering suit This suit looks great on me. I am a size 8 and ordered that size in black. I have a pear-shape, so the cups were almost too big, but because of the shirring up top, it looked great. The rest of the suit fits perfectly. I tried it on for my "better half" and he loved it. too. It does take a little tugging to get it on, but fully worth it! June 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by skinnycrissy Best suit I have owned in decades 56 years old and I love this suit! I purchased it two years ago and I am so happy that I can still get another one! I did also purchase a swim skirt to wear with it. I prefer wearing swim skirts with all of my suits to cover the top portion of my thighs due to my age and hip replacement scar. If you are concerned about the high cut style, order a swim skirt to go along with with. This suit is very slimming and I can tie the straps down for tanning and it still looks good to walk around with it tied down. January 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by nauook Watch measurements on chart. I followed the chart measurements, but the suit was way too big and long in the body. April 23, 2015

New and Recommended Fiction for October
Click on this link for a complete list of our recent additions in fiction!
MaddAddam : a novel / Margaret Atwood (FICTION) -- Bringing together characters from Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood, this thrilling conclusion to Atwood's internationally celebrated dystopian trilogy confirms the ultimate endurance of humanity, community, and love. Combining adventure, humor, romance, superb storytelling, and an imagination that is at once dazzlingly inventive and grounded in a recognizable world, MaddAddam is vintage Margaret Atwood.
Seven for a secret / Lyndsay Faye (MYSTERY FICTION) -- When the beautiful and terrified Lucy Adams staggers into Timothy's office to report a robbery and is asked what was stolen, her reply is, "My family." Their search for her mixed-race sister and son will plunge Timothy and his feral brother, Valentine, into a world where police are complicit and politics savage, and corpses appear in the most shocking of places. Timothy finds himself caught between power and principles, desperate to protect his only brother and to unravel the puzzle before all he cares for is lost.
Kenobi / John Jackson Miller (SCIENCE FICTION) -- Known to locals only as "Ben," the bearded and robed offworlder is an enigmatic stranger who keeps to himself, shares nothing of his past, and goes to great pains to remain an outsider. But as tensions escalate between the farmers and a tribe of Sand People led by a ruthless war chief, Ben finds himself drawn into the fight, endangering the very mission that brought him to Tatooine. Ben—Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, hero of the Clone Wars, traitor to the Empire, and protector of the galaxy's last hope—can no more turn his back on evil than he can reject his Jedi training. And when blood is unjustly spilled, innocent lives threatened, and a ruthless opponent unmasked, Ben has no choice but to call on the wisdom of the Jedi—and the formidable power of the Force—in his never-ending fight for justice.
After her / Joyce Maynard (FICTION) -- Loosely inspired by the Trailside Killer case that terrorized Marin County, California, in the late 1970s, After Her is part thriller, part love story. Maynard has created a poignant, suspenseful, and painfully real family saga that traces a young girl's first explorations of sexuality, the loss of innocence, the bond shared by sisters, and the tender but damaged relationship between a girl and her father that endures even beyond the grave.
Dexter's final cut / Jeff Lindsay (MYSTERY FICTION) -- Mega-star Robert Chase is famous for losing himself in his characters. When he and a group of actors descend on the Miami Police Department for "research," Chase becomes fixated on Dexter Morgan, the blood spatter analyst with a sweet tooth for doughnuts and a seemingly average life. To perfect his role, Chase is obsessed with shadowing Dexter's every move and learning what really makes him tick. There is just one tiny problem . . . Dexter's favorite hobby involves hunting down the worst killers to escape legal justice, and introducing them to his special brand of playtime. It's a secret best kept out of the spotlight and away from the prying eyes of bloated Hollywood egos if Dexter wants to stay out of the electric chair. The last thing he needs is bright lights and the paparazzi. . . but even Dexter isn't immune to the call of fame.
Mage's blood / David Hair (FANTASY FICTION) -- Most of the time the Moontide Bridge lies deep below the sea, but every twelve years the tides sink and the bridge is revealed, its gates open for trade. The Magi are hell-bent on ruling this new world, and for the last two Moontides they have led armies across the bridge on "crusades of conquest." Now, the third Moontide is almost here, and this time the people of the East are ready for a fight . . . but it is three seemingly ordinary people that will decide the fate of the world.
Songs of Willow Frost / Jamie Ford (FICTION) -- Twelve-year-old William Eng, a Chinese American boy, has lived at Seattle's Sacred Heart Orphanage ever since his mother's listless body was carried away from their small apartment five years ago. On his birthday—or rather, the day the nuns designate as his birthday—William and the other orphans are taken to the historical Moore Theatre, where William glimpses an actress on the silver screen who goes by the name of Willow Frost. Struck by her features, William is convinced that the movie star is his mother, Liu Song. Determined to find Willow and prove that his mother is still alive, William escapes from Sacred Heart with his friend Charlotte. The pair navigate the streets of Seattle, where they must not only survive but confront the mysteries of William's past and his connection to the exotic film star. The story of Willow Frost, however, is far more complicated than the Hollywood fantasy William sees onscreen.
The Ludwig Conspiracy / Oliver Potzsch (MYSTERY FICTION) -- Ludwig II, the Fairy-tale King of Bavaria, is today remembered for his beautiful castles -- popular tourist destinations that inspired the Disney Castle, but whose origins were much more fantastical than anything Disney could dream up. Also known as the Mad King, Ludwig was deposed in 1886 after being declared insane by doctors who had never met him. He promptly died—mysteriously drowned in waist-deep water—his eccentric castles his only legacy. Master of historical suspense Oliver Pötzsch brings the Mad King back to life in The Ludwig Conspiracy. An encoded diary by one of Ludwig's confidants falls into the hands of modern-day rare book dealer Steven Lukas, who soon realizes that the diary may bring him more misery than money. Others want the diary as well—and they will kill to get it. Lukas teams up with a beautiful art detective, Sara Lengfeld, to investigate each of Ludwig's three famous castles for clues to crack the diary's code as mysterious thugs and Ludwig's fanatical followers chase them at every step. Just what in the diary could be so explosive?
Four summoner's tales / Kelley Armstrong, Christopher Golden, David Liss, Jonathan Maberry (FICTION) -- Four bestselling authors. One hellraising premise. What if the dead could be summoned from their graves—for a price? What if a quartet of distinctive storytellers took a stab at this deceptively simple idea—on a dare? The answers lie here, in Four Summoner's Tales, as these acclaimed writers accept the challenge and rise to the occasion—in four brilliantly chilling ways. It's all in the execution. . .
