"I don't know if I can trust you, you were here to spy on her," Chevalier
said, looking at David suspiciously.
"Then double guard her… that would have solved the problem anyway."
He smiled at Emily and she scowled back at him.
"How so?" Chevalier asked.
"Oooh, I can't give away her secrets." He winked at Emily.
Emily rolled her eyes, "I don't need a guard."
"Yes, you do," both Chevalier and David said together.
"My God," Emily said, irritated.
"I can swear allegiance to the Equites, but I can't make up for what I did
as an Encala" David said.
"You'd turn so quickly?" Chevalier's eyes narrowed.
"Wouldn't you, if she were on the other side?"
Chevalier tensed, "She's mine."
"Oh, I'm well aware of that. Wouldn't you like to have someone
watching over her that's not afraid of you? Maybe she needs protected
from you too," David said.
"Those are brave words." Chevalier was getting mad.
"Think about it, I'll be around," he said before taking Emily's hand and
kissing it. "Stay safe, Kid."

Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings says the company is "eight to 10 years" behind other dairy players overseas when it comes to sustainability.
Addressing the Trans Tasman Business Circle Luncheon in Auckland this afternoon, he said he was "a little bit disappointed" that Fonterra was so far "behind the pack".
"In Europe we started to think about all of these things in 2003 and 2004," Spierings said. "But if we want to grow [dairy] in New Zealand we cannot grow the way we grew in the last 10 years, because we will hit the wall in terms of the environment and sustainability. We have to get our act together. That's why we're fencing off all the waterways."
Spierings said Fonterra had numerous sustainability projects in the past, but they weren't directly linked to the co-op's strategy.
"When I say we're 10 years behind ... we did a lot of things but there was no connection with strategy," he said. "If you take the annual report of two years ago there was nothing ...
hardly anything on sustainability."
Fonterra's latest annual report was the first from the company to have an "extensive section" on sustainability, Spierings said.
Federated Farmers president Bruce Wills said he was "a bit surprised" by Spierings' comments, but if the co-op was lagging so far behind those in other countries it was important the company learned from its counterparts overseas.
"It's fair to say that during the mid-to-late 2000s we went through that very fast transition from predominantly livestock farming to dairy," Wills said. "I think the dairy boom got slightly ahead of where the environmental responsibility should have been."
He said the agricultural sector was working hard to "get things back to a more sustainable, long-term balance".
Wills pointed out that the Clean Streams Accord - an agreement between Fonterra, the Government and regional councils - was signed 10 years ago.
"Earlier this year we went to Parliament and launched its replacement, the Sustainable Dairy Accord," he said. "That's all about stopping stock access to waterways ... and some pretty sophisticated regimes around the effluent ponds and how they are managed."
Spierings also told the luncheon that Fonterra's Milk for Schools programme was not just about corporate responsibility.
"Milk for Schools, people think it's kind of giving back to New Zealand - it's not," he said.
Spierings said it was a "worrying trend" that 27 per cent of Kiwi children were not having any milk before lunch.
"Those 27 per cent, if that remains to be the case, I don't think they will be milk consumers when they are 20," he said. "So [Milk for Schools] is an investment ... to make sure that you still have consumers 10 years from now."

Resolving phytoplankton photoprotective : photosynthetic carotenoid ratios on fine scales using in situ spectral absorption measurements
Limnol. Oceanogr., 48(2), 2003, 632-646 | DOI: 10.4319/lo.2003.48.2.0632
ABSTRACT: Temporal changes in phytoplankton pigments and spectral absorption were evaluated during June 1998 in East Sound, Orcas Island, Washington. High-resolution vertical profiles of in situ spectral absorption were obtained with a Wet Labs ac-9 (nine-wavelength absorption and beam attenuation meter), and pigment concentrations were determined for discrete water samples using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Fucoxanthin was the most abundant carotenoid, indicating the dominance of diatoms. We computed a slope index to evaluate changes in shapes of the in situ particulate absorption coefficient (ap) spectra, ap slope = (ap488 - ap532)/(ap676(488 - 532 nm)). A clear linear relationship was seen between ratios of photoprotective : photosynthetic carotenoids (PPC : PSC) and these ap slopes. While pigment package effects may alter the absorption spectra, in our data set we still found a significant relationship between pigment ratios and in situ ap slopes. Retrieval of this relationship was facilitated by the low and relatively constant detrital absorption coefficient (ad) values in our study area. Similar relationships were found between PPC:PSC ratios and the estimated phytoplankton absorption coefficient (aph) spectra. High PPC:PSC ratios and steeper ap slopes were associated with high-light levels. Our results suggest that in situ absorption measurements can be used to estimate PPC:PSC ratios in areas where the ad contribution is low or can be estimated. These variations in pigment ratios and spectral absorption reflect photoacclimation responses and/or changes in phytoplankton species composition and suggest in situ absorption measurements may be used to estimate pigmentation changes over fine temporal and spatial scales.

The NBA 30 on 30: Blogosphere Forecast (2 of 7)
|10.25.10 at 12:52 pm ET
NBA fans live a team's ups and downs. They react to every draft pick, trade and free-agent signing. They debate the merits of the 15th man. They find significance in the most insignificant stats. They simply KNOW their team. So, too, do bloggers. That's why we sought the opinion of the league's best blogs — one for each of the 30 teams — to break down the team they cover and, of course, the Celtics.
We'll move to the Western Conference's Northwest Division with the second of a seven-part, two-day series (you can read Part 1 here) …
by Nate Timmons, Denver Stiffs
ON THE NUGGETS: Everything with the Nuggets this season is based on Carmelo Anthony. It feels like the organization is holding out some type of hope that by keeping 'Melo around at the start of the season and winning some games early, it will convince him to stay. But all signs point to an eventual trade.
In the meantime, Denver fans will hold out hope that this team will get healthy, prove the doubters wrong and make one more run with 'Melo at the Western Conference title.
ON THE CELTICS: Age is going to be the main focus in Boston this year. Every time you tune in to a game, we'll be hearing one of two things: 1) If Boston is winning, how they're turning back the clock; and 2) If Boston is losing, how father time caught up with the Celtics.
I think the key to the C's run is Rajon Rondo. Can he hit the outside shots that teams will be giving him? With all their depth, I see the Celtics challenging for the title again this season, as they'll make it back to the NBA Finals.
by Nate Arch, Canis Hoopus
ON THE TIMBERWOLVES: The Wolves will … I have no idea what Our Beloved Puppies will do this season. In theory, they should be much better than last year's squad. In practice, it remains to be seen whether or not a roster upgraded with several legitimate mid-level rotation players will have any effect on the bottom line.
At the end of the day, Kevin Love is the team's best player, scorer and rebounder, and he'll be surrounded by a bunch of guys that won't be able to create their own shot. This is a team without an A1 talent, and unlike the Blazers (Brandon Roy) or Thunder (Kevin Durant), the Wolves appear to be headed down the Hawks' path to "success."
The Wolves also are on the verge of sending the Los Angeles Clippers their first-round pick thanks to the long-since-passed Marko Jaric wunder-trade (top-10 protected until 2011; unprotected thereafter). The doomsday scenario for the Wolves is that they find a way to finish with the 11th-worst record in the league, Jonny Flynn proves himself to be nothing more than a backup and Ricky Rubio decides to wait another year in Europe in order to take advantage of a rule that strips the rookie scale restriction from his first-year NBA paycheck.
If all of this happens, David Kahn will have found a way to have selected four top-six picks in the past two seasons with only one starter. … Well, this also assumes that Wes Johnson can crack the starting lineup by the end of the season. He'll also have used the team's much-vaunted cap space on Darko Milicic, Martell Webster, Nikola Pekovic and (hopefully) Rubio's rookie deal.
Kahn may have been volun-told into radio silence following his comments about Michael Beasley's pot smoking, but don't let the silence fool you into thinking that he doesn't have an amazing amount of pressure riding on him this season. The Wolves are walking a thin line right now, and they could end up with a nice lotto pick (Harrison Barnes!), Rubio and a nice starting wing (Johnson); they also could find themselves even worse off than before.
We'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out.
ON THE CELTICS: Our prediction for the Celtics is that they will lead the league in sleeping with LeBron's mom, Kevin Garnett will be one of the league leaders in the era of Technicals for Everyone!, Glen "Big Baby" Davis will finally take a swing at The Big Ticket in practice and in the conference finals they'll find a way to beat up on an already-beat-up Miami Heat squad — who, interestingly enough, will be led by a strangely detached LBJ, whose performance will inspire a brand new Tweet tag: #nqgoat ("not quite" … well, you know the rest).
by Royce Young, Daily Thunder
ON THE THUNDER: Common sense says the only option is up from 50. No key losses, the existing youngsters should have improved and there have been some nice additions that should help. But the fact some key Western teams dealt with injuries last season and that everything seemed to break right is a bit disconcerting. Last season could have just been a flash-in-the-pan, but I say it was the first step towards something bigger.
The Thunder might not be completely ready to finish second in the West and compete for the conference crown. Keep in mind, last year this was the league's youngest roster, and they're only a year older. They will be good, and they will win a lot of games. The Northwest Division title is the first goal, but I don't think OKC is ready for that. I've got them finishing second in the Northwest and fourth in the West.
ON THE CELTICS: Yeah they're old. Yeah, they get hurt a lot. Yeah, the Heat did something with some players this offseason. But never write off the Celtics. Not yet.
The C's are your classic closing-window team where time is running out on them. Their core is aging and — for the most part — aren't what they used to be. Rondo has evolved into the team's best player, something nobody really saw coming three years ago. Despite Miami having Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James, and the Magic always good with Dwight Howard, it's tough not to put the Celtics right at the top of the East.
I don't typically like the, "They're the champs until someone beat them," but in Boston's sense, it applies. They won the East last year, and they will fight tooth and nail to defend it. Of coursem, here's the "if they stay healthy" disclaimer, because that applies to teams that have guys collecting social security still playing, but I think the Celtics finish first in the East this year.
by Dave Deckard, Blazersedge
ON THE TRAIL BLAZERS: The Portland Trail Blazers continue their attempt to morph from caterpillar to beautiful butterfly. Six years worth of injuries in six months destroyed their 2009-10 season, holding them to 50 wins and a second straight first-round playoff exit. Conventional wisdom says that once all the pieces are in place the half-team that won 54 two years ago plus the half team that won 50 last year makes a whole team — and a whole lot of wins. But Conventional wisdom doesn't watch much basketball.
Even when healthy, the pieces on this team don't mesh well yet. The core of the team is young, coming up without strong veteran leadership. They haven't learned how to involve each other, let alone sacrifice for each other. They don't have the drive to defend consistently. They don't have the courage to force turnovers and run. They don't have a post presence or enough motion in the offense.
Portland's key veteran, point guard Andre Miller, needs the ball too much to fit with Brandon Roy, and Miller likes his offense too much to free the other youngsters whose offensive games need to develop. Backup point guard is in flux, and reserve wing Wesley Matthews, though a preseason bright spot, was the Blazers' major acquisition over the summer — not exactly a revolutionary move in itself.
Center Marcus Camby has been a Godsend, though, and the presumed return of Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla should give the Blazers a three-headed defensive center platoon to be reckoned with. Oden remains the great hope, as he dominates the defensive paint and the glass when he plays. He could be a one-man revolution. But he's hurt, and his game is raw, and that's not a good equation for immediate success.
The Blazers have talent. They will be good this year. But they haven't had enough time or experience together to be great. They'll get to the postseason, and they're aiming at the second round of the playoffs, but they'll need a high seed to accomplish that goal. Anything more is pie in the sky at this point.
ON THE CELTICS: For everyone running against the Miami Hype Machine who also can't bear to hop on board with the Los Angeles Lakers, the Boston Celtics represent the last, best hope for a happy end to the 2010-11 season. Last year's Eastern Conference champs have plenty to recommend them.
A starting lineup of Rondo, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Garnett and Shaquille O'Neal need not blush before the league's super-teams. Even better, the second unit of Delonte West, Nate Robinson, Davis, Jermaine O'Neal and Kendrick Perkins ensures that the galloping geriatrics won't have to spend 40 minutes per night on the floor in the regular season.
Last year, the Celtics ranked in the upper third of the league in several traditional barometer categories: point differential, points allowed, field goal percentage and field goal percentage allowed. Their comparatively anemic rebounding production should be bolstered by the influx of O'Neals. They may not generate the same headlines they did in 2008, but they're going to win professionally and consistently.
Unfortunately, it isn't going to work.
The only way the Celtics can go upwards is to reclaim the championship. Every team in history that has come in second has looked back on a game or a moment that, if tweaked, seemingly could have tipped the scales in the other direction. With all of those banners in tow, Celtics fans already know that winners were meant to win. The distance between second and first is greater than it seems. Unless the surrounding tide recedes, you have to revolutionize, not just bolster, in order to bridge the gulf between the trophy and "almost." The tide has swept in farther around the Celtics, and they haven't revolutionized.
Needing to drink from the fountain of youth, Boston drank from the fountain of slow instead. J.O. is hanging on despite the decreased mobility, but he's not the complementary player that Perkins is. He needs to be featured in order to shine. Shaq comes equipped with his own leather jacket and water skis nowadays. Every team that's had him since Miami has figured out he's an extremely expensive billboard reading, "You just jumped the shark."
Those aren't "We got KG in 2007" acquisitions. They're "We got KG right now" signings at best. They'll help out in the regular season, if healthy. They'll keep the Celtics from sinking, probably propelling them to a higher seed. But they're not going to lead them to the Promised Land. No matter how many wins lie in between, seven-game series with the Heat and the Lakers still wait at the end of the road. That's bad news for Celtics fans.
by Amar Acharya, SLCDunk.com
ON THE JAZZ: Jazz fans (and coaches) are starting a new "Carlos Boozer free" era of basketball. He was a good finisher, but his defense became such a weakness that other teams went right at him in the playoffs — and faced little resistance. The Jazz were never going to win with him, especially when he'd disappear for entire playoff series' at a time. We're all happy to see him go. So far, he's already gotten injured, and the Jazz have beaten the Lakers twice on the road. Yes, it's only preseason, but optimism is high in Jazz land again this season.
Deron Williams is one of the best point guards in the game, and establishing him as the primary scoring option will only make him more dangerous in the playoffs, where superstars get favorable calls. Also, all the new parts seem to be picking up the flex offense as best as they can. Furthermore, the new additions seem to be more defensive-minded than the people they replaced. For example, Raja Bell for Kyle Korver is a step in the right direction for playoff-minded basketball.
More than anything else, Jazz fans are most enamored with former Celtic Al Jefferson. His tutelage under Kevin McHale really shows, and he has an almost limitless array of post moves that allow him to score up or around Pau Gasol in ways that Boozer couldn't even imagine without getting injured. Jefferson and Gasol played a lot of minutes against one another in the two preseason games, and if this is anything to look forward to the Jazz will not roll over so easily in the playoffs this year.
If the Jazz are healthy and reintegrate recovering Mehmet Okur well into the system when he returns, then I fully expect them to finally have homecourt in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs — something that they were never able to do when Boozer was around.
ON THE CELTICS: First of all, Jazz fans love the Celtics. We can only admire and applaud the successes of your franchise and the depth of your collective disdain for the Lakers (a squad we're not very fond of either). It may sound hyperbolic, but this season the Boston Celtics have one of their deepest rosters in decades.
The depth is no greater than in the paint. It's a shame for them that there are only 96 total minutes to play at power forward and center during a regular length game — a fact that could become one of the greatest challenges this season. But it's a challenge that 29 other teams in the league wouldn't mind having. When it comes to shooting, Rondo isn't Mark Price, but by the same token Price never got a triple double in the playoffs. Rondo has five so far (and he's still so young), including one in an NBA Finals game. He's only going to get better in the next few seasons.
When everyone is healthy, and the games count the most, I fully expect the Celtics to grind the other East squads into the hardwood with a structured and deliberate defense that funnels other teams into their own dooms. You win in the playoffs with defense and rebounding. I expect another 50-plus win season, complete with at least 10 playoff wins — if not more.
Stay tuned for Part 3 of this seven-part series: the Western Conference's Southwest Division.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Today, the 60-year-old Falk is the leading Democrat hoping to oust Walker in his looming recall election. Other Democrats, including Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett, are mulling recall runs, but in an election with national consequences, perhaps no candidate creates as stark a contrast with Walker as Falk.
Falk is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal who lists the civil rights and women's rights movements, Earth Day, the Watergate scandal, and the Vietnam War as formative events in her life. Walker, the son of a Baptist minister, is an evangelical conservative and Reagan acolyte whose hardline politics date back to his college years. Falk enjoys the backing of Wisconsin's biggest labor unions, and negotiated concessions with the public-sector unions in Dane County; Walker sees unions as public enemy No. 1, savages their members as profane "thugs" out to bankrupt the state, and refused to negotiate over his anti-union "budget repair" bill. Falk endorsed Howard Dean in 2004; tea partiers endorsed Scott Walker in 2010.
Both the incumbent and challenger agree, though, that the stakes couldn't be higher in the recall election. A win for Walker would validate his conservative agenda; a loss would deal a stinging rebuke to the tea party and the Koch brothers, perhaps even upping the odds of an Obama win in November. "If Gov. Walker is able to get away with what he did to the people of Wisconsin, what he will do next if we do not defeat him will be many times worse," Falk says.
Falk, a Wisconsin native, cut her teeth in government as a so-called public intervenor, an environmental watchdog working out of the state Attorney General's Office. After 12 years on the job, Falk won her 1997 campaign for Dane County executive, becoming the first woman to hold the position. Voters re-elected her in 2001, 2005, and 2009. When she resigned in 2011, Falk's 14-year run as executive was the longest in Dane County history.
During that period, Falk struck a progressive stance on environmental issues. A hallmark of her time as Dane County executive, she says, was a successful seven-year campaign to install a new manure digester for the county's cows, a $12 million venture that generates enough electricity for 2,500 homes with the manure from as many cows, while at the same time reducing harmful runoff into nearby lakes and streams. But Falk says her record in Dane County is about more than the environment, describing herself as a careful steward of taxpayers' money who balanced the county budget 14 years in a row (as she was legally bound to do). Her critics correctly note that Falk also raised taxes each of those 14 years, though Dane County's cumulative tax levy increase was less than most counties in Wisconsin. "I believe it's my job to make government as efficient as possible so that you can deliver more services for people," she says.
Then, in February 2011, Falk watched in horror as Walker unveiled Act 10, a surprise attack on organized labor that curbed collective bargaining rights for most public employee unions, made it harder for unions to recertify each year, and slashed education and health care funding, among other changes. In the weeks and months that followed, Falk slammed Walker at every turn and filed the first lawsuit challenging the legality of the bill's passage. (Falk argued that Republicans in the state Senate didn't have the quorum required by law to pass the bill; her suit was later dismissed.)
In April 2011, Falk stepped down as Dane County executive. She vacationed with her husband, former state Rep. Peter Bock, by bicycling from Florida to New York. Once back in Wisconsin, Falk says she has spent "virtually every single day" supporting the anti-Walker cause—campaigning for last summer's state Senate recall candidates, attending fundraisers, knocking on doors, talking to citizens.
As summer drifted into autumn and Falk continued work on the effort to gather more than half a million signatures to recall Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, her conversations around the state took on a more direct, personal tenor. "People came to me and said, 'Falk, we're gonna recall Walker. You need to be ready to run.'" One afternoon, a UPS deliveryman arrived at her house with a package—and a plea. It was months before she entered the recall fray. He told her, "I hope you run against Governor Walker. I'm a Republican and I voted for Walker, but he didn't do what he said he was going to do."
The pleas piled up, and in mid-January of 2012, Falk announced her candidacy. Her campaign, she says, is built on "openness, transparency, and honesty," unlike Walker, who, she wrote in a December op-ed, "used a big deception to get elected" and "has continued to try to mask his extreme agenda by saying one thing but doing another." She has pledged to restore the bargaining rights that Walker rolled back, repeal new voter ID legislation, and restore the $73 million Walker cut from the state Technical College System by ending a GOP-backed tax break for multi-state corporations.
The state's most powerful labor unions wasted no time lining up behind Falk. SEIU Healthcare Wisconsin; SEIU's Wisconsin state council; the American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin; the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees' Wisconsin affiliate; and two United Food and Commercial Workers branches all decided to back her run. EMILY's List, the national nonprofit that works to elect more female politicians, has also backed Falk. With recall spending projected to reach $100 million, and with Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity and heavyweight GOP donors opening their checkbooks, Walker will likely outspend Falk. She'll need the unions' money, grassroots networks, and organizing muscle in her camp to counter Walker's millions. "We're going to be doing everything we can to get her elected," Palmer, the president of SEIU Healthcare Wisconsin, promises.
Labor's full-throated backing of Falk will no doubt figure prominently in Republican attacks if she wins the Democratic nomination. Walker has already fundraised off of "big labor bosses," "big union-sponsored mercenaries," "mercenary labor thugs," and "union bullies."
Paul Maslin, a veteran Democratic pollster working for Falk's recall campaign, says he wouldn't be surprised if the governor and his allies cast Falk as a labor stooge if she faces Walker in the general election. But Maslin downplays the liabilities from Falk's strong union ties. He argues that whoever faces Walker in the recall will be slammed as a labor stooge, even if it's Milwaukee's Barrett, a popular Democrat whose relationship with unions is frosty at times. "We might as well have a candidate the unions support," Maslin says.
Falk also faces charges that she can't win on a statewide level. Her 2002 bid to be the state's first female governor fell short in the Democratic primary, and in 2006 she lost a squeaker to Republican J.B. Van Hollen in the race to be attorney general. Falk's critics who question her electability point to that 2006 loss. In a banner year for Wisconsin Democrats, Falk came up short, if only by 8,859 votes out of 2.1 million cast. Falk and her supporters counter that she received more votes in 2006 than Barrett did in his losing gubernatorial run four years later.
Perhaps the steepest challenge for Falk, though, is wooing voters beyond Madison, an enclave of progressive politics that outsiders describe as "85 square miles surrounded by reality." A recent Marquette University poll showed that 47 percent of respondents didn't know enough about Falk to have an opinion. (A separate survey (PDF) by left-leaning Public Policy Polling found that 27 percent were undecided.)
Charles Franklin, a political scientist at Marquette University who conducted the Marquette poll, says Falk's apparent lack of name recognition statewide, despite her 2002 and 2006 campaigns, can be interpreted for good and bad. "It points to a weakness, in that she needs to reintroduce herself to the state," Franklin says, "but it's also a strength—that even with a relatively high don't-know rate, she's still competitive with Walker in the polling."
Indeed. Falk beat Walker 48 percent to 47 percent in PPP's February poll, and trailed him 49-42 in the January Marquette University poll. Looking to June, Franklin says, Falk's path to victory means entails racking up big wins in Dane and Milwaukee counties, the state's Democratic strongholds, and then winning the swing counties in the northeastern and western parts of Wisconsin that Barack Obama won in 2008 but swung Republican in 2010. "She needs to convince voters outside Dane County and southern Wisconsin that she knows something about voters in Green Bay and northern Wisconsin," he says.
What's painfully obvious in every recall poll is the polarization of Wisconsin voters. Roughly 47 percent of voters want Walker out, while roughly 47 percent support and believe in him. Maslin, the pollster who works for Falk's campaign, says it's the remaining 6 percent of voters who will decide the election. Those 6-percenters, Maslin says, "have no reason to make a judgment now, and they're going to wait until the last possible minute. When they do vote," he continues, "they'll leave all the stuff aside, whatever they thought of this recall originally, all the noise and the back and forth, and they'll make a judgment about who do they trust. That's where I think she's going to have an ace in a hole."

No I am not suggesting that it would be undesirable to have programs to help the ones that cannot afford health care coverage. If people need to see a doctor or have to be in the hospital for medical related issues then it should be affordable. Everyone needs to be treated as an equal according to medical attention received. But it is not that way, unfortunatly. It's who's got the money gets the best medical attention. There has to be a way but not at the cost of a nation going broke because of it. We have medicare and medicade for that.
With the Obamacare issue it is more about control than healthcare for all.
As for rationing healthcare, they will say it will not happen but believe me when I tell you that if and when Obamacare is fully implemented if not before you will see longer waits to see the doctors and longer waits for surgeries. It happens in Canada and that is what they have there, socialized medical coverage for all.

There is no better place to stay for a couple who wants to visit rome as a tourist. 10-30 min to every sightseeing place in rome and Vatican. Also you are staying very close to Piazza Navona the place is silent enough, so that you can sleep (if you want). And if there are problems - help is very soon on it's way! - we had problems with the gas heater and as usual it was sunday - 2 hours later Manuela was there with a man who fixed the problem within minutes. The communication was done via WhatsApp, WiFi was working perfect, and ... . What shall I say - we had nothing negativ found. Therefore I gave 5 stars.
Manuela's apartment is cosy and equipped with everything you need for a short - or even longer - stay. One other big plus is that it is right outside the walls of the Vatican Museum and close to the Metro line A. There is also a Farmer's market nearby and a supermarket for those who are less adventurous food-wise.
And Manuela is nice. She answered all of the questions I had sent her by e-mail before our trip. She also tried to get tickets for us to the papal Mass on Wednesday. That alone is more than many hosts would do.
Lovely apartment! Great communication and information on finding and gaining access to the apartment. Although in a busy, sound insulation was good, and air conditioning worked perfectly. Metro is quite close, and so are coffee shops and restaurants.
The apartment is fully self contained, and with fresh markets close by, it can be a real home away from home.
Highly recommended, and a nice base to explore Rome.
Phil and Hülya
Only the best to say abort the appartment and host, everything worked perfectly.
We - this is me an my two sons, 12 and 14 years old - spend nine days in August 2015 in Manuelas appartment. It was absolutely the ideal place for us. It is more spacious than the square meter number may suggest and it has everything we needed: good beds, flawlessly working installations and ample equipment, even a dehumidifier which came handy after we got soaked in a thunderstorm and had to dry lots of textile at once. Yes, the place may not have much of a view, but in exchance for that we were in a quiet (this ist next to Piazza Navona!) little alleyway from where virually all sites of intra muros Rome are in easy working distance.
The service that Manuela and her people provided was spotless. The place was superclean and if you are there for longer than a week, someone comes for cleaning and changing towels and sheets. The timing for that was easily arranged by email. And speaking of communications: my kids very much enjoyed the fast WLAN.
some difficulty (of a language) in order to enter the 1st time .... ligne70 take the bus;
Very nicely decorated apartment, ideally located in a small alley in the peace;
just small problem, but the lack of window did not stay long ns in the apartment;
un peu de difficulte (du a la langue) pour y acceder la 1ere fois....prendre le bus ligne70;
appartement tres joliement decore,et idéalement situe dans une petite ruelle au calme;
juste petit bemol, le manque de fenetre mais ns ne restions pas longtemps dans l appartement;
The apartment was excellent. Very well it located and very clean. In addition Manuela showed us the quickest and cheapest way to get from Fiumicino. When we arrived we had left Manuela food in the kitchen to settle an emergency.
If we return to Rome certainly it is a great option.
El apartamento fue excelente. Muy bien ubicado y muy limpio. Además Manuela nos indicó el modo más rápido y barato para llegar desde Fiumicino. Cuando llegamos Manuela nos había dejado comida en la cocina para poder apañar una urgencia.
Si volvemos a Roma sin duda es una gran opción.
A very nice apartment. We have slept well and it was very enjoyable view of Rome from this place. Dont stay and so close to everything. Warmly received and we will gladly return again.
Een heel fijn appartement. We hebben er lekker geslapen en het bekijken van Rome was zeer plezierig vanuit deze plaats. Lekker in het centrum en dus overal dichtbij. Hartelijk ontvangen en we komen er graag een keer terug.
We spent a lovely stay, especially with the Manuela apartment, next to the Vatican. Organized by genuine Italian ingenuity, it is more pleasant to live. Cleanliness is also the rendezvous, and if the street is fleeting, the building is a very appreciable calm.
I highly recommend this address that allows the discovery of this beautiful city in optimal conditions
Gisele and Daniel
Nous avons passe un superbe séjour, du en particulier à l'appartement de Manuela, voisin du Vatican. Organisé selon une ingéniosité toute italienne, il est des plus agréables à vivre. La propreté est aussi au rendez-vous, et si la rue est passagère, l'immeuble est d'un calme très appréciable.
Je recommande vivement cette adresse qui permet la découverte de cette ville magnifique dans des conditions optimales

New Zealanders have sent a cow into space, but she didn't quite make it over the moon.
Eva, the stuffed mascot of Bay of Plenty internet company Enternet Online, was sent to the edge of the final frontier, complete with sunglasses to protect her button eyes.
The company won a worldwide competition to send an object to the edge of space in a Nasa expedition in support of World Earth Day on April 22.
Eva travelled to Bishop, California, before being launched into space in a specially-designed balloon capsule, reaching an altitude of 36km.
She parachuted back to one of the hottest places on Earth, Death Valley, where she was rescued after an 18-hour recovery mission which included students from the local high school.
The main purpose of the expedition was to gather information and samples from the atmosphere and capture images of meteors.
Enternet Online's managing director, Terry Coles, said they heard on Friday morning their mascot had made it back from her expedition with the data intact.
"Even then they weren't sure the video and images would be retrievable given the temperature extremes in Death Valley.
"But luck was on our side and today we received the video and images."
Mr Coles said the point of Eva's space journey was to promote the Bay of Plenty to a global audience.
For her journey, Eva wore Tauranga City mayor Stuart Crosby's lapel pin and Western Bay of Plenty mayor Ross Paterson's badge. Tourism Bay of Plenty general manager Rhys Arrowsmith said it was an exciting project to be a part of. Amelia Wade

In previous post on the efficient market hypothesis, I sympathized with Scott Sumner's overly demanding definition of identifying a bubble, because his definition prevents people from taking credit for spotting a bubble an implausible number of years before it popped. The example I gave was Dean Baker, who I recalled as predicting the current housing bubble in 1948. Dean corrected me in the comments, reminding me that it was in fact 2002 when he "called" the bubble, and he links to the paper where made the call.
I strongly suggest that anyone who harbors a notion that Dean called the bubble read his paper, from August of 2002, and consider whether he was calling the housing bubble that popped in 2006, or whether he was calling a housing bubble that hadn't begun in any appreciable way.
Why don't I think Dean actually called the bubble? First, in his paper Dean specifically refers to the period of time before we can expect prices to fall as "months". In his conclusion, he sums up his predictions like this:
..it is likely that the HPI will follow the rent index in the months ahead, first showing considerably slower growth. In later months, it is likely that that the HPI will fall in real terms, and possibly in nominal terms, until it is back near its pre-bubble position relative to the rent index.
He is referring here to slower growth in the "months ahead" and a fall in the house price index in "later months". In fact, house prices didn't peak until the second quarter of 2006, four years or 48 months after Dean wrote this paper. From his choice of words here he makes it pretty clear that he did not have anything like that in mind.
Another problem is that national house prices are still above where they were when Dean spotted a "bubble". According to the most recent Case-Shiller house price indices, the U.S. national house price average is now where it was in late 2003, a year after Dean claimed that house prices were going to fall 11% to 22%. Prices falling well below where they were when you cried bubble is a bare minimum requirement for calling a bubble. Dean has not met this very minimal requirement.
You might think prices are going to fall another 25% and prove Dean right, but prices would need to fall much more than that. If Dean was correct that there was an 11% to 22% bubble in 2002, then after the huge buildup in housing supply that occurred from 2002 to 2006, you'd expect the eventual fall in prices to bring us much lower than 11% to 22% below the 2002 price level. To put it simply, if I said "the supply of gold right now is too high to support the prices we are seeing, prices are going to fall 10% from here", and then the supply of gold quadruples, prices need to fall more than 10% to prove me correct. This is even more true when you consider that the popping of a huge housing bubble is more destructive than the popping of a small housing bubble, so prices should be lower than Dean forecast due to a much larger destruction of wealth than he expected.
Dean's a nice guy and all, but I think it really is inaccurate to characterize him as having called this bubble.

Non-viral methods for genetic modification present several advantages over viral methods, and hence, such methods have been optimized for MSCs from a variety of species. Although equine MSCs have great importance, prior to this study, effective non-viral transfection parameters for these cells had not been determined. Here both chemical and physical transfection methods were optimized for equine MSCs, using red fluorescent protein as a reporter gene. Chemical reagents were optimized for reagent-to-DNA ratio, transfection solution plating volume, and cell density. Additionally, ideal voltage, cell concentration, DNA concentration, buffer, and pulse number settings were discovered for electroporation. The method resulting in highest gene expression was electroporation with one 30-msec pulse at 170 volts in Opti-Mem buffer. This technique resulted in transfection of 54% of the cell population, a percentage that is on the higher end of nonviral MSC transfection efficiencies. The transfection parameters determined in this study will undoubtedly be useful to all researchers who wish to genetically modify equine MSCs. 2013-05-01T00:00:00Z Know Your Worth: Angel Financing of Female Entrepreneurial Ventures http://hdl.handle.net/1813/44579 Know Your Worth: Angel Financing of Female Entrepreneurial Ventures Shapsis, Melanie 2016-05-01T00:00:00Z Web Interface Design for Chinese Characters http://hdl.handle.net/1813/44577 Web Interface Design for Chinese Characters Wang, Qian 2016-05-01T00:00:00Z Look before you leap: Visual navigation and terrestrial locomotion of the intertidal killifish Fundulus heteroclitus http://hdl.handle.net/1813/44548 Look before you leap: Visual navigation and terrestrial locomotion of the intertidal killifish Fundulus heteroclitus Bressman, Noah Mummichogs (Fundulus heteroclitus; Cyprinodontiformes) are intertidal killifish that can breathe air and locomote on land. Our goals were to characterize the terrestrial locomotion of mummichogs and determine their method of navigation towards water in a terrestrial environment. We used high-speed video to record behavior during stranding experiments and found that mummichogs use a tail-flip jump to move overland, similarly to other Cyprinodontiformes. However, mummichogs also prop themselves upright into a prone position between each jump, a previously undescribed behavior. After becoming prone, mummichogs rotate about their vertical axis, directing the caudal fin towards the water. Then, they roll back onto their lateral aspect and use a tail-flip behavior to leap into a caudally-directed, ballistic flight path. We conducted experiments to determine the sensory stimulus used to locate a body of water by placing mummichogs on a square platform with one side adjacent to a sea table. Under artificial light, mummichogs moved towards the sea table with a higher frequency than towards the other sides. Under dark conditions, mummichogs did not show a preference for moving towards the sea table. When the surface of the water was covered with reflective foil, mummichogs moved towards it as if it were a body of water. These results suggest that mummichogs primarily use visual cues, specifically reflected light, to orient towards the water. The uprighting behavior that mummichogs perform between terrestrial jumps may provide an opportunity for these fish to receive visual information that allows them to safely return to the water. 2016-05-01T00:00:00Z Through Athena's Eyes: The William Henry Sage Collection of Casts http://hdl.handle.net/1813/36699 Through Athena's Eyes: The William Henry Sage Collection of Casts Hume, Hannah Claire Martin This Anthropology honors thesis combines Anthropology, Archaeology, and Museum Studies to discusses the history and analyzes the importance of the William Henry Sage Collection of Casts, which was brought to Cornell University by A. D. White in the early 1890s and placed on display in 1894. The Cast Collection, some whose fragmented pieces reside in Goldwin Smith Hall to this day, was a pinnacle collection of the University and brought much fame and acclaim to the institution. However, it was never stagnant and saw many phases of reinterpretation and curation. Through such modification, each iteration of the collection was used to echo the educational mood and focus of the contemporary University. Interestingly, regardless of prominence, level of care, or mode of display, students throughout time have often developed personal relationships with the individual statues of the Cast Collection. They may fear or love the pieces, but most admit it all has something to do with looking through the statue's eyes. 2014-05-01T00:00:00Z Spatial Consequences of Plant Induced Resistance to Herbivory http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33676 Spatial Consequences of Plant Induced Resistance to Herbivory Rubin, Ilan 2013-07-26T00:00:00Z Analysis of Selection Patterns in Germline Stem Cell Genes (Stonewall, Otefin) in Drosophila pseudoobscura http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33441 Analysis of Selection Patterns in Germline Stem Cell Genes (Stonewall, Otefin) in Drosophila pseudoobscura Forbes, Lisebeth Previous experiments have shown two germline stem cell genes, bam and bgcn, to be under strong positive selection in Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans (Bauer DuMont et al. 2007). This prompted the question of whether the same pattern of selection observed in these two species was present in the germline stem cell genes of other Drosophila lineages? The Aquadro Lab has been sequencing many germline stem cell genes in Drosophila species, and the answer to this question so far has been that some lineages show strong positive selection and some do not. This observation led the Aquadro Lab to begin to test hypotheses about the driver – or drivers – of the positive selection in the germline stem cell genes across some Drosophila lineages. One hypothesis proposed by Bauer DuMont et al. (2007) is that coevolution with pathogens such as the reproductive parasite, Wolbachia pipientis, infecting the germline could be driving this observed selection. This project looked for signs of selection in the germline stem cell genes stonewall and otefin, two genes that have shown signs of positive selection in other Drosophila species, which the Aquadro Lab has previously tested. These two genes were sequenced in Drosophila pseudoobscura, a species of Drosophila that is not currently known to be infected with Wolbachia. This project shows that both genes do not show evidence of long term, repeated positive selection, but both genes do show evidence for a more recent selective sweep. 2013-07-15T00:00:00Z The Effects of Small Molecule VU573 and Barium on Malpighian Tubule Electrophysiology of the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33440 The Effects of Small Molecule VU573 and Barium on Malpighian Tubule Electrophysiology of the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti Longo, Anthony VU573 is a synthetic organic molecule weighing 350 daltons, found to block inwardly-rectifying potassium (Kir) channels in high-throughput screening. In order to evaluate VU573 as a novel pesticide capable of inducing mosquito renal failure, electrophysiological analyses were carried out on isolated Malpighian tubules from the female yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti. Using the Malpighian tubule electrophysiology protocol developed in the laboratory of Klaus W. Beyenbach, exposure to 10µM peritubular VU573 was found to (1) hyperpolarize the basolateral membrane of isolated tubules by an average of 6.76 ± 1.27 mV (p<0.00012) and (2) increase cell input resistance by an average of 7.02 ± 1.31 kΩ (p<0.002) in conditions of potassium overload (34mM [K+] peritubular). These results confirm a block of A. aegypti Kir1 (AeKir1) expressed at the basolateral surface of stellate cells, which seem to be less involved in transport than their counterparts—the principal cells. Additional experiments establish that the 10µM VU573 dosage is equally as effective as the 50µM dosage (p=0.88). Furthermore, I-V plots taken of Malpighian tubules demonstrate that different tubules exhibit different degrees of rectification, from no rectification (Ohmic) to very strong rectification. The barium ion is known to strongly block all Kir channels. With the same protocol used for VU573, 5mM barium was tested and found to (1) hyperpolarize the tubule basolateral membrane by 11.91 ± 3.82 mV (p<0.008) and (2) increase cell input resistance by 123.58 ± 12.93 kΩ (p<0.0003). The much smaller resistance increase with VU573 compared to barium, coupled with the laboratory of Peter M. Piermarini's finding of AeKir1 on stellate cells, suggests that AeKir1 channels are less involved with potassium transport and likely serve other functions, such as potassium sensing or cellular housekeeping. Taken in all, VU573 is effective at blocking AeKir1 but would need to be refined further to have an even more potent antidiuretic effect. 2013-07-12T00:00:00Z Immunohistochemical quantification of serotonin and serotonin transporters in the lumbar region of the mouse spinal cord after spinal cord injury http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33438 Immunohistochemical quantification of serotonin and serotonin transporters in the lumbar region of the mouse spinal cord after spinal cord injury Hong, Diana Central pattern generators (CPGs) are important neuronal networks that are made up of interneurons that organize rhythmic motor output such as respiration, mastication, and locomotion. Locomotor CPGs are located in the spinal cord of all vertebrates. Interneurons have been shown to be a necessary part of regulating the coordination of the left and right flexor and extensor muscles that generate the normal walking movement. The V2a interneurons, in particular, play an important role in maintaining a left-right alternating hindlimb pattern at high speeds. Two key players of the CPGs are serotonin (5-HT) and serotonin transporters (SERT). 5-HT plays an important role in enabling the network to generate the locomotor rhythm in rodents, while SERT is responsible for high affinity uptake of 5-HT to terminate its activity in the synaptic cleft. Using double immunohistochemical methods, I determined that not only are 5-HT and SERT co-localized in 5-HT terminals, but also 5-HT and SERT–labeled terminals are located on V2a interneurons. Using Sholl analysis, I determined that SERT and 5-HT show similar co-localization patterns on the V2a interneurons. Although spinal cord injury (SCI) typically does not inflict physical damage to the cells that make up the hindlimb CPG, it results in a loss of motor function by removing descending input from the brain. This in turn can induce changes in CPG cellular activity and transmitter sensitivity. Thus, I sought to observe how SCI affects expression levels of 5-HT and SERT. After SCI, a loss of motor function occurs due to the changes in cellular activity and sensitivity in the CPG. Using single immunohistochemical methods, I determined that both 5-HT and SERT decrease significantly in area and intensity after SCI. 2013-07-12T00:00:00Z A Comparison of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1, and Rous Sarcoma Virus Plasma Membrane Binding Requirements for Retrovirus Assembly http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33435 A Comparison of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus, Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1, and Rous Sarcoma Virus Plasma Membrane Binding Requirements for Retrovirus Assembly Chen, Steven Plasma membrane (PM) association is an essential step in the retroviral life cycle that involves the complex association of the Gag polyprotein with cellular machinery, RNA, and specific lipid signatures of the inner leaflet. Here, I describe the first systematic comparison of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus (EIAV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1), and Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) Gag membrane binding properties using in vitro liposome binding assays, in vivo virus release assays, and localization studies using confocal microscopy of 293T cells. By doing so, I hoped to address two main questions. First, what drives EIAV Gag association with the plasma membrane? And second, why is EIAV Gag not myristoylated? My results showed that EIAV Gag membrane association is driven by electrostatic interactions and a preference for cholesterol-containing membranes. These results highlight the universal importance of electrostatic interactions for retroviral Gag PM targeting and may underline a shared association with lipid raft microdomains for budding. I also used EIAV matrix (MA) and HIV-1 MA mutants to confirm HIV-1's dependence on myristoylation for virus release and localization to the plasma membrane. These same mutants have also led me to propose a model for EIAV MA helix 1 inhibition of myristoylation. Finally, a part of my thesis work has been dedicated to the development of a novel silica-bead binding assay to study protein-lipid interactions. I describe this work in Appendix 1. 2013-07-11T00:00:00Z Distributional Learning of Categories in Infants: From Phonemes to Actions http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33434 Distributional Learning of Categories in Infants: From Phonemes to Actions Chang, Lucas 2013-07-11T00:00:00Z Effects of the HDAC Inhibitor, Curcumin, on Position Effect Variegation in Drosophila http://hdl.handle.net/1813/33433 Effects of the HDAC Inhibitor, Curcumin, on Position Effect Variegation in Drosophila Grant, Crystal 2013-07-11T00:00:00Z A better model for membrane study: Mapping the effects of SOPC in a quaternary phase diagram http://hdl.handle.net/1813/23572 A better model for membrane study: Mapping the effects of SOPC in a quaternary phase diagram Garg, Vinisha In my study, I attempt to create a unique and more biologically relevant model of the cholesterol-rich exoplasmic leaflet of animal plasma membranes. Using electroswelling to create giant unilamellar vesicles, fluorescence microscopy, and the previously completed ternary mixture of DOPC, DSPC, and cholesterol, DOPC, a rare biological lipid, was gradually replaced with SOPC, an abundant biological lipid in order to create a partially completed quaternary phase diagram consisting of DOPC, SOPC, DSPC, and cholesterol. Focusing on the biological raft region, (Lo+Lα coexistence phase), reduction in the size of the coexistence region was found, thus verifying the notion that SOPC is more miscible with DSPC and cholesterol than is DOPC. DOPC replacements greater than 70% resulted in a disappearance of the coexistence region leading to a suspicion that the phase domains were too small to observe using optical fluorescence microscopy. The creation of a more biological model membrane can be used to further understand the role of lipids and proteins in cellular membranes as well as the size of biological rafts important in cellular function. Honors Chemistry Thesis 2008-05-09T00:00:00Z Reading Jacob's Room as a Transmission of Shocks http://hdl.handle.net/1813/3077 Reading Jacob's Room as a Transmission of Shocks St. Aubin, Adrienne Michelle This thesis examines Virginia Woolf?s 1923 novel Jacob?s Room as a transmission of what Woolf in her unfinished memoir refers to as ?shocks.? In A Sketch of the Past, Woolf describes the experience of these shocks and her immediate desire to explain them, presenting writing as a reparative activity that imparts meaning to the apparently senseless and alleviates pain by creating wholeness out of fragmentation. She illustrates this concept by providing three examples from her own childhood, each of which offers a very different model of experience. In this thesis I relate these shocks to the structure of Jacob?s Room and a number of strangely digressive and open-ended passages within it, proposing that the novel actually resists Woolf's own model of reparative writing and does not process shocks into wholes for the reader so much as transmit them to her.

Throughout Sidney?s sequence, Astrophil attempts to define an authentic lyrical language by both criticizing other poets and asserting a formal agenda for his own texts. His texts, however, continually contradict in practice what is demanded of them in theory so that the sequence shows an underlying pessimism summed up in Sonnet 35?s question: ?What may words say, or what may words not say, / Where Truth itself must speake like Flatterie?? (my emphasis). This paradox and the pessimism it produces, I argue, can be understood by situating Sidney?s sequence in a rift between two conceptual frameworks for understanding relations between subjectivity, language, and the material world. In one framework (dominant in western medieval Christendom), cognition, language, and material things were seen as ontologically homogenous ? part of the same sublunary, postlapsarian material stratum. But in another framework ? emerging in the sixteenth century and that would become dominant in western European modernity ? human subjects and their languages were seen as detached from the material world. Sidney?s sequence, I suggest, is stuck between these two ideological polarities. It wants to enact an authenticity that would become possible under the conceptual regime of modernity, where language is imbricated in the immaterial cognitive circuitry of sovereign, Cartesian subjects, and where it thus becomes capable of conveying the authenticity attributed to in modern ideologies of the aesthetic. However, Sidney is caught in the conceptual space of an older model of language: one that sees it as something thingly, ontologically homogenous with the material world. My first chapter introduces ? somewhat lengthily ? the problem of authenticity in Astrophil and Stella. It develops some of the intellectual-historical horizons I want to situate the sequence in and introduces the main textual feature I want to follow: Sidney?s tendency, in attempting to establish the authenticity of his own poetry, to criticize other poets for their lack of authenticity vis-?-vis a resemblance between their poetic practices and commercial and economic practices. My second chapter both turns to the contemporary critical landscape of early modern studies and provides further elaboration of my positioning of Sidney in the ambiguities of early modern concepts of subjectivity, language, and materiality. After this lengthy prefatory, I move on, in my third chapter, to read Astrophil and Stella, focusing particularly on Sidney?s use of the word ?strange? ? a term that particularly points to the rift I want to chart in the sequence. My fourth chapter concludes with a methodological question: how do the points I have made about the difference between modern and early modern ontologies of language, materiality, and subjectivity effect the contemporary critical landscape of early modern literary studies. Particularly, I pursue the question of whether or not a return to formalism and aestheticism (increasingly called for in protest to the dominance of cultural studies in literary interpretation) has a trans-historical exegetical validity. In conclusion, I suggest that the assumptions on which such a return to the literary would stand become deeply problematic outside of the modern era.

|st: likelihood construction interval-truncated observations
|Thu, 10 Mar 2005 15:31:55 +0100
Dear Stata Users, Does anyone know if Stata can handle interval-truncated observations that add to the likelihood function in the following matter: L = f(x) / [S(yl) - S(yr) where, f is the density function, S the survivor function, and yl and yr are the left and right truncation points. I know that S-plus can handle these observations but I prefer Stata. Unfortunately, the book "An introduction to survival analysis using Stata" seem to have a different understanding of interval truncation (maybe an improvement for the next edition). Any help welcome!

John Grisham's bestselling backlist repackaged with fantastic new covers
Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake and Sweeney, a giant D.C. firm with 800 lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was three years away. He was a rising star, with no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers, no time to walk around them on the sidewalk. No time for a conscience. But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his assailant did not. Who was this homeless man?
Michael did some digging and learned that he was a mentally ill veteran who'd been in and out of shelters for twenty years. Then Michael dug a little deeper, and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake and Sweeney. The fast track derailed; the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted from the firm, and took a top secret file with him. He landed in the streets, a poverty lawyer, a street lawyer, an advocate for the homeless. And a thief.
About the Author
One day at the Dessoto County courthouse, John Grisham overheard the harrowing testimony of a twelve-year-old rape victim and was inspired to start a novel exploring what would have happened if the girl's father had murdered her assailants. Getting up at 5 a.m. every day to get in several hours of writing time before heading off to work, Grisham spent three years on A Time to Kill and finished it in 1987. Initially rejected by many publishers, it was eventually bought by Wynwood press, who gave it a modest 5,000 copy printing and published it in June 1988.
That might have put an end to Grisham's hobby. However, he had already begun his next book, and it would quickly turn that hobby into a new full-time career - and spark one of publishing's greatest success stories. The day after Grisham completed A Time to Kill, he began work on another novel, the story of a hotshot young attorney lured to an apparently perfect law firm that was not what it appeared. When he sold the film rights to The Firm to Paramount Pictures for $600,000, Grisham suddenly became a hot property among publishers, and book rights were bought by Doubleday. Spending 47 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list, The Firm became the bestselling novel of 1991.
Since first publishing A Time to Kill in 1988, Grisham has written one novel a year and all of them have become international bestsellers. There are currently over 225 million John Grisham books in print worldwide, which have been translated into 29 languages. Nine of his novels have been turned into films (The Firm, The Pelican Brief, The Client, A Time to Kill, The Rainmaker, The Chamber, A Painted House, The Runaway Jury, and Skipping Christmas), as was an original screenplay, The Gingerbread Man. The Innocent Man (2006) marked his first foray into non-fiction.
No big surprises - a corrupt law form, a lawyer with a conscience, a battle between doing what's expected and doing what's right. But you don't come to Grisham for surprise; you come for solid escapism and that's what is delivered here. (Kirkus UK)

A rare find on a fabulous Italian wine
My husband and I were in Tuscany when the '97 vintage wines were released – at the time, they were called the vintage of the century. The Chianti's were rich, full of dark cherry flavors, hints of rosemary…just beautiful. We brought a lot of the wine back with us – but alas, it's all gone UNTIL NOW! H-E-B purchased a special allocation of a Tuscan '97 Chianti Reserva…something you won't find elsewhere without paying big bucks. This wine is an amazing bargain at less than $25!
But, it will run out! Bring a little of the romance of Italy home tonight! And see how we paired it…

Tanji – which HEB did you find the Chiante at? Just checked Central Market and they did not have it.
HEB at Blanco & 1604….ask for Ralph or Elizabeth. 🙂
Hey Tanji, which HEB can this wine be found? Central market had not heard of it, but they had heard of you!
I know the HEB Plusvat Blanco & 1604 has it . You might call Ralph their wine manager. That's where I bought mine.

The changing role of the supervisory board chairman: the case of the Netherlands (1997-2007)
Bezemer, Pieter-Jan, Peij, Stefan, Maassen, Gregory, & van Halder, Han (2012) The changing role of the supervisory board chairman: the case of the Netherlands (1997-2007). Journal of Management and Governance, 16(1), pp. 37-55.

Over the last ten years, the corporate governance context in most Western countries has changed as a result of irregularities, increased regulation, heightened societal expectations and shareholder activism. This paper examines the impact of the changing context on the role of chairmen of supervisory boards in the Netherlands. Based on a combination of thirty semi-structured interviews with board members of leading Dutch corporations and secondary data on the position of supervisory board chairmen at the top-100 listed firms in the Netherlands, the study reveals that board chairmen have become increasingly involved in both their control and service roles. While the demographics (i.e., age, tenure, gender and nationality) of chairmen have hardly changed over the last decade, chairmen are spending considerably more time on boards and committees, have reduced the number of board interlocks and have become more active on the forefront of the corporate governance discussion. The paper highlights several implications for scholars and practitioners.
