Chapter two: What is more important-family or myself?
I was clearly expecting the worst as I headed to the cafe. Trying to stay positive after everything I had been through was harder than I thought. I ordered a cup of coffee and sat at a table and watched the people come in. Then I saw a old woman come and sit at my table. I studied her with my blue eyes. It seemed like I could trust her, right? I'm glad you could meet me, angel. She said, offering a small smile. Yeah, thanks. What's the problem? Who's been watching my family? I asked. One thing at a time, angel. I told you I can't tell you. Not when my own life is at risk. I can just tell you, you need to go back to London. Stay undetected. I got up and said. Ol. I'll leave straight away. I ran out of the cafe and back into work, throwing an apology over my shoulder and farewells. I ran out again and drove home, when arriving I packed my case. I threw everything in and slid into the front seat. I gunned the ignition and sped down the road. My family?! What if they are in danger? I didn't know. But my bad feelings came back and I rushed towards the airport and swerved into the parking lot. I got out and ran into the airport as I headed for the nearest place to but a ticket for a flight to London. London, please. Hurry! They gave me the ticket and I ran up to the departure lounge. I waited an hour and half for my flight and was soon on the plane. Within two hours I was on London ground. I climbed out of the plane as went to baggage claim. I retrieved my case and headed out to catch a cab. I got taken to my house and I was reunited with my car and everything. I slipped inside and flopped onto my couch. But then I found a note on my table. Fear slipped inside me as I realised who the note was from. Oh my god! I thought. No, please don't say he's back. This can't be. Not after all this.
Dear angel,
I know where you are. I know that you're in London. I have just the weapon to kill you. Don't try anything smart or you'll suffer the consequences. Watch your back, Lizzy dear.
Yours sincererly, Damien Thorn.
I've gotta go to them. What if they're in danger? I thought as I ran to their house and was happy to see that their car was in the drive. I burst in without thinking. Mom! Dad! We need to get out of here before Da--I stopped as I saw Damien smirking at me as my parents and sister and brother was held down by his men. I honed in on the guns that were being pointed at their heads. Let them go! I insisted. Damien walked towards me and smirked. Little Lizzy. I would have known that you would have come if your stupid little family was at risk. He grabbed my throat and yanked my head up. You haven't changed since the last time I saw you. He said, grabbing my head and digging his nails in. I yelped and pushed him off me. You better leave her alone! My big brother exclaimed. He turned to him and smirked. She is far more precious than you think. He turned and smacked me across the face. I touched my cheek and felt it burn. Your monster. My mother said. His acolytes grabbed me. Now, my dear, you need to make a decision, what is more important, your family or yourself? He asked, smirking cruelly. I stared at my family as tears came to my eyes. Of course I would pick my family over myself. My family are more important. I snarled. I broke out of my captors grip. Oh and I forgot to tell you, bye! I exclaimed, flinging the door open only to find more men. I attacked the men holding my family down. Come on! I yelled as the guns began to fire. We ran upstairs and jumped out the window.
Damien's p.o.v
That darn angel always had a trick up her sleeve. He thought as her and her family ran up the stairs. They then heard a smash of glass. Leave her family! I want you to apprehend the angel. He saw flashes as her and her family ran past the door with men chasing after them. He looked at Harvey Dean, one of his closest friends. I don't care how! Just get her!
My p.o.v
Me and my family stopped, catching breath. What was that about? My older brother yelled, staring at me. Can we possibly discuss this later? I asked. Right, here's the plan. They're here for me so we're all going to split up. I'm going to go through the streets where they can find me easily. You lot go through the alleys. My mother looked ready to protest. No arguements! We don't have time. Suddenly my younger sister began tugging my arm. What is it, Mandy? I asked, bending down. She pointed down the street as I followed her finger. I saw Damien and his acolytes looking at me as fear filled my eyes. Run!! I shouted as we all ran in different directions. So much for quiet and peaceful life! I dashed around the corner and into a shop and posed as a mannequin. They ran right past me. I sneaked out of the stop and ran down the other way. Go! My brain screamed as I willed myself to go faster. Of course I didn't see the guy in front of me and screamed as we went crashing down. I'm so sorry! I exclaimed. It's alright. A male voice exclaimed. I looked at the person I knocked down and went a light shade of pink. Uh...I didn't see you. I said, helping the person up. Then I saw Damien and his men. This time Damien had a dagger! I stepped back from the person and said. Bye. Catch you later. I ran off again. But then I didn't notice the guy with his arms outstretched. Oof! I grunted. It was one of Damien's acolytes. His arms closed around my waist. Let go of me! I exclaimed. Damien and his acolytes appeared in front of me. Oh no. I whimpered. Damien stepped forward and grabbed my chin. He lifted it so we made eye contact. Silly little Lizzy. He said, smirking at me as the acolyte held me back. My heart was pounding against my chest. He revealed the dagger, and honestly, my body was reacting badly. First of all, I automatically recoiled. Then my entire body starting shaking. And a whole lot of stuff as I tried to keep away from the dagger. I looked at Damien as he smiled at my reactions. What type of dagger is that? I managed to whisper. He laughed tauntingly and then turned to his acolytes. Ha! She doesn't know. The only girl who can kill me doesn't know the weapon of her own downfall. His hand slipped down to my neck. I breathed heavily, my heart in my mouth. Please don't. I begged. Listen to that, she's begging. I wonder if I should take pity on her. He was messing with me. And he was enjoying every moment. Damien, stop. I pleaded. The acolyte that was holding me back spoke up. What should we do with her? He asked. I winced. I dreaded the answer. Damien smirked at me. I don't know what should we do with her? He asked. He played with the dagger, waving it in front of my eyes. Should I kill you now or take you to my mansion? He asked. He stared at me intently. You're not funny, Damien. I remarked. He ingored me. You're coming with me, angel. He said. No way! I said. He turned to me and grabbed my neck and squeezed it tightly. His face looked darker and his eyes were cold as he hissed. You don't have a say in the matter. I wasn't going to argue with him, not like that. Damien snapped his fingers and a car pulled up, almost like Damien knew he was going to catch me. I was shoved into the front as Damien got into the driver's seat. There was a blond haired guy with penetrating blue eyes sitting in the back. I looked at Damien. Who's the guy in the back? I asked. Damien said. Oh. That's Roxas. Recently joined us. I nodded, stealing a glance at the guy in the back. He seemed tall for his age. Taller than me. If he wasn't bad I would have said he was handsome. Such a waste. I thought as we turned a corner. I was postitive that he was just as cruel as the rest of them. We pulled up to the mansion and got out. Roxas ingored me as I was taken up stairs and into my new room. The door was locked. What in the world do I do now? I had never been one for just sitting and waiting for rescue. I thought as I explored the room for an escape route. None. I sighed. Obviously frustrated. My heartbeat increased as I spun towards the door to see Roxas standing, slouching, and watching me calmly. I half expected him to go tell Damien I was planning my escape. But he didn't. I tried to make conversation. You're not like them, are you? I asked. He eyed me intently. Yes, I am. But I think you deserve your chance to escape even though I know you won't get past any of us. I flew into a temper. Don't mess with me or you may regret it.
Roxa's p.o.v
He studied her. She was quite good looking. You're not like them, are you? She asked. He smiled at her. Yes, I am. But I think that you deserve your chance to escape even though I know you won't get past any of us. She flew into a temper and her eyes flashed with anger. She stomped towards him and glared up at him, since she was smaller than him. He smiled, amused. Don't mess with me or you may regret it. She threatened. Oh really? He asked. Yeah. She replied, without thinking.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - March 2, 1983, New Braunfels, Texas Dallas, Texas #752-^x;:hInc-^ii8rv^ble ' Xr ?5?/>5 Comp,A New JJ—LL Braunfels Haw Braunfels, TexasHgr«ld-Zettung Vol. 92 — NO. 43 Panoe_O Cortinni' WEDNESDAY March 2,1983 25 cents 32 Pages —3 Sections (USPS 377-8801 Second bond issue scheduled May 14 By JACQUELINE SMITH Staff writer They don't yet know exactly what will be included on the ballot, but trustees of New Braunfels Independent School District are planning to call another bond election May 14. At Tuesday's board meeting, considerable discussion was devoted to the future and to the past bond election — which was turned down by voters Feb 12 by 158 votes Because trustees are still puzzled over the failure of the $9.3 million bond package, they are carefully considering how to best present another package which would include new construction, airconditioning all schools and renovating current facilities. Board members could not agree Tuesday on whether the district should present the same $9 3 million bond package or reduce it. But in agreeing to use reserve funds to replace asbestos-containing ceilings at New Braunfels High School, trustees have already reduced the previous bond issue by $160,000. That amount was set aside in the first bond issue to pay for encapsulating the ceilings. Trustees decided Tuesday, however, not to wait for a bond issue to pass to take care of the ceilings and voted to replace them. Trustees also could not reach a consensus on whether the bond package should be split into separate proposals on the ballot About the only thing they could agree on was the date of the new bond election May 14 — which gives the district a little over two months to prepare. Trustees could not officially call the May 14 election Tuesday since the legal documents were not available. Instead, they voted to call the election at their next meeting in two weeks, when they hope to reach agreement on how to present the next bond issue. lack of time to publicize the Feb 12 bond issue was a common reason given by NBISD teachers and administrators for its failure. Supt. O E. Hendricks questioned the handful of teachers present at Tuesday's meeting if they thought they would have enough time to prepare for this election. The teachers seemed to think they would. A few wished, however, that the board already knew exactly what would be included on the next bond issue, since they want to begin publicizing it immediately. But NBISD teachers do not want the district to reduce or alter the bond package from the last election. Marilyn Kolacek, president of the New Braunfels Educators Association, said. After listening to various ideas trustees had concerning cutting the bond package. Kolacek said, "If you cut it...people are going to think that you really shot them a line., and they'll think, well if we hold off (voting for a bond package) they'll cut it See BONDS.

In a 5 to 2 vote, the district's school board agreed Tue^ lay to spend approximately $320,000 out of reserve funds to have the ceilings replaced. Ai explained by Supt. O E Hendricks, the district had three options It could do nothing as the law only requires that school districts test for asbestos content, and if any is found, to notify the parents-teachers groups and monitor the situation. Or the ceilings could be replaced or they could be sprayed with an encapsulating material at about half the cost of replacing them. A majority of the board felt a moral obligation" to do something about the asbestos problem. It's true that they (the government) haven't told us we have to do it," said Trustee Rudy Renner * But I feel a moral obligation since by law students are required to attend class." Trustee Bob Self agreed. I have a real problem wth trying to put a percentage (of asbestos concentration (to the degree of hazard." Trustees Garland Lloyd and Margy Waldrip, school board president, however, did not think the district should do anything and voted against the motion. "I feel like there are many hazards we face everyday and there was a rather small amount (of asbestos) found in our ceilings." said Waldrip. ' We cannot eliminate all the hazards around us. "I have taught up here." she added, noting that she would not hesitate to teach there again. "But I feel that $320,000 is a lot of tax funds to spend when the government has not told us we have to do this I personally don't feel a moral obligation." Agreeing with Waldrip, Lloyd said. $320,000 is an awful lot of money...knowing that the government has the habit of telling us when they want us to do anything. I do not favor doing anything about this until they told to do so." Asbestos Management System and Associates, a Houston consultant firm lured by NBISD to test its schools and facilities, found asbestos only at the high school. lawrence Simoneaux of that firm told trustees two weeks ago that tests done at the high school revealed See ASBESTOS, Page UA Good sign Plat-filled agenda means lively economy By DEBBIE DeLOACH Staff writer Seven final subdivision plats were approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission Tuesday night. And Planning Director Debra Goodwin said Wednedsay that may say something good about the economy. "There usually aren't that many (plats) on the commission's agenda presented at one time," Goodwin added. * And there weren't any zone change requests this tune. That's unusual." Commission members also forwarded a proposed historic designation for the Clemens and Faust Bank Building, 278 W. San Antonio (where Ye Old Music Shoppe used to be) to City Council, with no objections. Final plat approval for Walnut Estates, Unit No. IO, may prove to be the commission's most significant action Tuesday night. "City Council has considered several zoning changes in Walnut Estates. Along w ith the Council, there has been some concern on the Commission that there was only one way out — down Gardenia Street to Mesquite," Goodwin explained "However, one approved zone change stipulated that once a certain percentage of lots were sold, Sun-shadow would be extended out to McQueeney Road," she added, "and the final plat approval on Unit No. IO essentially does just that." Other final plat approvals were handed out to Solms Tracts ta 2.358 acre tract on Interstate 35, close to Solms Road); Shadow Park, Unit No. I, near McQueeney Road; Oakwood Estates, Unit No. 9 (off Loop 337); Richter Estates (on Interstate 35 towards EM 3061; Northwoods Unit No. 2 (off Highway 46 North); and Walnut Estates, Unit No. ll (four lots facing Sunshadow I. Preliminary approval was given to the resubdivision of Rosedale Subdivision, as requested by Dave Brunovsky, an owner of Rosedale Apartments. In 1979, the commission approved a subdivision plat, so that each duplex was on an individual lot. Preliminary approval was given Tuesday night to a ^subdivision into lots that have at least two duplexes on each lot. "The purpose of this resubdivision is to obtain financing on the property, which will now qualify as tour-plexes Our main objective has always been to improve the property, and we've accomplished a lot for just one year," Brunovsky said, adding he would come back to the commission next month with the necessary variances and ask for final approval. Also on the agenda was a public hearing to vacate and resubdivide Lot No. 8, Block No. I of Rolling Valley Subdivision, and Tract I, Ferdinand and Mathilda Hanz Estate Partition. Both were approved, but the latter (dividing a 1.37 acre lot into four lots facing Gruene Road) gave commission members some trouble at first. See PLANNERS, Page UA Shooting leaves man critical By SCOTT HARING Wire editor A Houston man is in critical condition today following an early-morning shooting. Guadalupe County sheriff's deputies answering the 5:35 a.m. call to 1075 Lone Star Dr., found 26-year-old Roger Smith, who had been shot once in the back. The address is the home of Smith's estranged wife, Louise. Smith was taken to McKenna Memorial Hospital and then transferred to San Antonio Methodist Hospital, where he is in critical condition in the hospital's surgical intensive care unit. Guadalupe County Sheriff Pete Rallies said Smith had allegedly made threatening telephone calls prior to his arrival at the house. The front door was broken down and a 22 rifle with scope was found beside the victim. Another person at the house told sheriff's investigators he fired the shot that hit Smith, but no arrests have been made at this time. Rallies said the investigation is continuing and the case would most likely be referred directly to the Guadalupe County Grand Jury, scheduled to meet next Monday. The shooting occurred in the Rreuslerville area off Highway 46 South. EPA wants to weaken air pollution standard WASHINGTON (AP) - The Environmental Protection Agency, under attack for lax management of its hazardous w aste program, is about to propose weakening the standards for one of the country's most prevalent air pollutants, informed sources say. The agency will propose allowing the level of particulate pollution to increase One analysis done for the agency, however, warned the weakened standard could lead to hundreds of extra deaths each year. The agency disputes this contention and says the looser standard has received the blessing of its Science Advisory Foard as being well within the limit needed to protect public health. Particulates are small particles suspended in the air Included in th * category is dust from dirt roads ana soot from utility coal furnaces. Two-thirds of particulate pollution comes from industrial sources and 18 percent from autos. It is particulate pollution that accounts for the grime prevalent in many cities and is the pollution which aggravates problems of people suffering from respiratory illnesses Of tile 218 counties the EPA put on notice in January for failing to meet national air standards, 89 are violating particulate levels. Many counties — by some estimates 45 percent would comply with the See EPA, Page UA Midnight deadline looms for school board candidates Staff photo by John Smiter Salute to M A S H. Dressed in the bathrobe and cowboy hat made famous by Hawkeye Pierce, New Braunfels High student Scott Webb gives his salute to M A S H while watching tennis Monday. Today is the last date for candidates lo file for the April 2 school board elections in the New Braunfels and Comal Independent Sc hool Districts. In the New Braunfels district, interested candidates have until midnight to file to have their names included on the April ballot. A spokeswoman from the NBISD administrative office said anyone wishing to file after business hours would have to contact Supt. OE. Hendricks by phone (625-7652) at home. It's rare that someone would want to file after hours, she noted, but it is possible. Three chairs are up for grabs on the NBISD Board of Trustees places 4. 5, and 6. Incumbents Rudy Renner and Bob Self, places 6 and 4 respectively, are both seeking re-election. Of the two only Renner has an opponent — New Braunfels resident David Cook Place 5 — currently held by Trustee William l^ee Jr., who is not seeking reelection, is the one place that has drawn the most interest. Three candidates have filed for this spot — Gladys Badling, Ronald Dalrymple and Bonnie Uhr Denson. For anyone not registered to vote in Comal County, Friday is the last day See TRUSTEE, Page UA ;

Getting paid to check out some of the most beautiful beaches in the world?
The really nice and exciting part of our job at Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality is when we get invited to develop a pristine property in a remote and exotic destination. It is our job to help evaluate the site and dream up a new sustainable hotel, resort or eco lodge. We meet with property owners and discuss opportunities and work together with other professionals (mostly planers and architects) on a land use master plan, the development of a lodging and hospitality concept and preliminary financial feasibility.
Last week, we worked on an assignment on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua and looked at a beachfront property with a tropical dry forest nature reserve attached to it. Nicaragua is a country with huge opportunities for ecotourism and Cayuga has been involved in the development of successful hospitality operations in this Central American country for almost 15 years. Currently we run the Jicaro Island Eco Lodge near the colonial town of Granada.
This kind of a development process requires a lot of creativity and open mindedness and can be quite draining due to the long hours and the many moving parts involved in such a development. The decisions made in this phase of the development process have a huge impact on potential success of the project.
However, the spectacular natural setting and the great opportunities that such a property can provide are an inspiration to everybody involved. And after all there are a lot worse assignments than to dream up world class sustainable hospitality operations.
A first step is to get to know the land. It is necessary to hike in the forest, search for the best views, sunset spots, experience the elements and identify the best beaches and swimming spots. Sounds tough, but somebody has to do it.
It is very important that the owners, operators, master planners and other parties involved share the same vision. In this case it was very clear that all participants were very keen on the concept of nature conservation, community development and a " new" luxury hospitality experience that goes way beyond marble bathroom floors and golden faucets.
The end result of such a three to four day session is land use master plan that indicates best use for different part of the lands. We will have identified the location of the guest arrival area, restaurants, guest rooms, wellness areas, etc.
This allows us to work on fine-tuning the hospitality concept in terms of experiences, amenities and services offered and recommendations on hotel or lodge facilities. We will also have identified target markets and specific market segments to whom the lodge will appeal.
From here to the opening of the project, it is still a long way to go. Possible phasing of the project, securing of financing, architectural design and permitting with local authorities are the next steps. In the best case scenario, The Cayuga Collection of Sustainable Luxury Hotels and Lodges will have a new member in Nicaragua in late 2016. Stay tuned"¦

Death Rates Rising for Middle-Aged White Americans, Study Finds
Joyce Park stashed this in Economics
Stashed in: Economics!, Science!, Awesome, Death, Drugs!, America!, America, Depression, Health Studies, The South
BLOCKBUSTER finding from two Princeton economists, one of whom just won the Nobel Prize. Since 1999, the death rate for poorly-educated white Americans aged 45 - 54 from suicide, alcohol, and drug abuse has risen an incredible amount while everyone else's has been falling. Amazeballs methodological footnote: all of this data was in plain view in government statistics and prestigious publications... but because the age cutoff was often right at 50, the data got broken in half in a way that prevented researchers from seeing the magnitude of the issue.
Since most of these premature deaths were caused not by disease but by suicide, alcohol, and drug abuse, can we draw the conclusion that they were the result from the unhappiness these men experienced with where they found themselves in life professionally and personally?
It wasn't just men, it was men AND women.
I haven't been able to read the original paper yet but I know from other studies that the combination of low education, reported neuromuscular pain, and reduced income is very characteristic of rural areas of America such as Appalachia. It's a touchy subject, but there is some evidence that the combination is associated with extremely high rates of unemployment and statistically unlikely levels of disability payments. Not to put too fine a point on it, if you're a poorly educated person in a rural area, there may be few ways to make a living other than going on disability.
One of the fascinating points in this and other studies is that doctors are far MORE likely to prescribe opioids to white patients, and to "sponsor" their applications for disability payments, than those of other races who report the same symptoms. That's right: even when it comes to developing an addiction to painkillers, white people have an advantage!
There is quite a bit of evidence that middle-aged people suffer the highest rate of depression:
which anecdotally is attributed to "Is that all there is?" syndrome. I would not know personally, but I could imagine that this type of existential crisis might be worse for people who grew up believing they would have a much better outcome than they ended up getting.
I missed that it was women too. Thanks for pointing that out.
Here's the paper:
You're right that it's a touchy area, which makes it difficult to study.
I didn't realize that doctors are more likely to prescribe opioids and sponsor disability for these people, which probably contributes to their likelihood toward depression and downward decline.
I just didn't realize these existential crises are happening on such a massive scale.
I had OPEN BRAIN SURGERY and they said I could only qualify for a few weeks of disability before the bureaucracy would try to cut me off. My doctors are in Palo Alto and have a very wealthy clientele, so they weren't at all enthused about having to spend their time to fight for me. But based on that experience I think if your doctor won't fight on your behalf it is hard to get disability.
Also... I don't think most healthy, happy people would enjoy being prescribed high levels of opioids. They are a drug that takes hold of depressed people. I asked to be taken off them as soon as I got out of the hospital because they cause HORRIBLE digestive issues and don't actually do much for head pain. I had a friend who weaned himself off them before he died of cancer-based polyneuropathy. When you have someone dying with tumors pressing on his spine and he STILL doesn't want opioids... you know they are awful.

text: CHICAGO, IL, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) announced today it is accelerating work on the US$33-million upgrading of its Whitehall Subdivision in Wisconsin to increase car-loading capacity and train velocity for the growing frac sand supply chains of Badger Mining Corporation, Preferred Sands of Wisconsin LLC, Atlas Resin Proppants LLC, and Taylor Frac LLC. The improvement program will permit the transportation of heavier loaded frac sand freight cars weighing a maximum of 286,000 pounds, thereby increasing the volume per car, generating increased productivity for customer car fleets, and increasing train speed for CN. CN will improve the 74-mile section of the Whitehall Subdivision between Wisconsin Rapids and Blair, Wis., in three years rather than four to obtain quicker customer gains. Work began in 2012 and the full program should be completed by December 2014. Jean-Jacques Ruest, CN executive vice-president and chief marketing officer, said: "We are investing in increased rail capacity on the Whitehall Subdivision to help move more frac sand and to develop a more robust supply chain for our customers in Wisconsin to connect with the oil and gas shale basins in North America." Frac sand is used by oil and gas industries in the hydraulic fracturing process to hold shale fractures open and let natural gas and oil flow out. Stephen Hart, executive vice-president of Berlin, Wis.-based Badger Mining, said: "We have significantly increased the frac sand production capacity at our Taylor, Wis., facility, and CN's Whitehall Subdivision improvement will enhance our ability to efficiently move this production to both existing and new customers and markets. We are encouraged by this significant investment in our industry by CN. Badger has long understood the benefits gained from using rail to reach markets when compared to other modes of transportation: larger volumes, improved transit times, greater cost efficiencies and improved safety." Bryan Hurtado, director of Preferred Pipeline, which provides logistics services for Preferred Sands of Wisconsin, said: "Our company has worked closely with CN for several years to build our frac sand and logistics business. CN's move to advance its rehabilitation of the line serving our plants and our partner suppliers' plants will help us to more economically and efficiently move product." Dan Valiquette, executive vice-president of Atlas Resin Proppants of Taylor, Wis., said: "We appreciate CN's sizable investment in the Whitehall Subdivision, which will improve the effective utilization of our rail fleet, expand our product distribution, and ultimately provide better service to our customers in key shale markets." Pat McConnell, chief executive officer of Taylor Frac of Green Lake, Wis., said: "Our company values its partnership with CN and sees the acceleration of its upgrading program for the Whitehall Subdivision as key to our plans to continue growing our market share." CN is a true backbone of the economy, transporting approximately C$250 billion worth of goods annually for a wide range of business sectors, ranging from resource products to manufactured products to consumer goods, across a rail network spanning Canada and mid-America, from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to the Gulf of Mexico. CN - Canadian National Railway Company, along with its operating railway subsidiaries -- serves the ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert, B.C., Montreal, Halifax, New Orleans, and Mobile, Ala., and the metropolitan areas of Toronto, Chicago, Detroit, Duluth, Minn./ Superior, Wis., Green Bay, Wis., Minneapolis/St. Paul, Memphis, and Jackson, Miss., with connections to all points in North America.

Forward-Looking Statements Certain information included in this news release is "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and under Canadian securities laws. CN cautions that, by their nature, these forward-looking statements, including statements relating to the growth of the frac sand market, involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company cautions that its assumptions may not materialize and that current economic conditions render such assumptions, although reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company or the rail industry to be materially different from the outlook or any future results or performance implied by such statements.

At only three weeks old, a tiny endangered François' langur monkey that was rejected by his mum is firmly clinging on to life (and his teddy bear) thanks to the efforts of surrogate mum, zookeeper Kate Sanders.
At only three weeks old, a tiny endangered monkey that was rejected by his mum is firmly clinging on to life – and his teddy bear.
The miniature 4″ François' langur monkey was rejected by mum Lee Lee after his birth at ZSL London Zoo, and is now being looked after by surrogate mum, zookeeper Kate Sanders.
Born on the day the Olympic torch route was announced, zookeepers couldn't believe their eyes when they saw his bright orange head and black body – which they thought made him look just like the Olympic torch.
They named him Flame in honour of his special birthday and unusual colouring (the species is usually black all over, except for distinct white sideburns), and after three weeks of intensive care they are confident he'll be around for 2012 and beyond.
Kate is still nurturing the baby langur with the help of a monkey teddy which the youngster clings onto. The teddy acts as a substitute monkey mum and will make it easier for keepers to reintroduce Flame to his real family.
The world's population of François' langurs (Trachypithecus francoisi) has halved in the last 40 years due to habitat loss and hunting. Listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, François' langurs are widespread but their populations are highly fragmented and isolated.
It is believed there are just over 1,000 left in the wild.
Kate said: "Francois langurs are extremely endangered so Flame is a very precious monkey – he looks like a torch and he's a beacon of hope for his species.
"Like any newborn Flame needs to be fed throughout the night. I've been staying at the zoo to feed him milk every one and a half hours – so I've not had much sleep.
Kate adds: "We're planning to reintroduce him to his mum Lee Lee, dad Neo and his other housemates in the next few months when he's a little bigger. But at the moment we're keeping Flame warm in his incubator."

I like this story! :D If only MK: Armaggedeon (Sp?) will be the same as the storyline seen here _ What I like most? The battle scenes especially Noob Saibot vs Sub Zero, Rain's return, some character deaths (The Boi Rai Cho one was sad but well done), the combination of all the characters from the saga and some pairings I adored the most: Liu Kang/Kitana- It's not much shown, but it's my 2nd fav to Cage/Sonya (ah yes, my favorite couple of MK), Subzero (the elder)/Sareena (I always knew the older Subby would have feelings for Sareena XD) and Rain/Jade (There are a lot of rare pairings here in and I think this one is great ). Good job! Is there gonna be a sequel? The ending was really unexpected but really good.

YouTube recently announced that the video-sharing website created in 2005 is now was getting more than 1 billion unique visitors every month. And this week Robert Kyncl, Vice President, Global Head of Content Partnerships for YouTube, announced that these visitors "are watching more than 6 billion hours of video each month on YouTube; almost an hour a month for every person on Earth and 50 percent more this year than last."
These are BIG Numbers
Ridiculously big numbers are hard to visualize. So, let's try to put them into a more human perspective.
Let's start with 1 billion people. The population of North America is 528.7 million, the population of South America is 387.5 million, and the population of Oceania is 35.7 million. So, the population of YouTube Nation is now larger than the population of the New World ("Mundus Novus").
Now, let's look at 6 billion hours. Do the math that's 250 million days or 684,931.5 years of video. Now, imagine one of our ancestors 684,931.5 years ago back in the Middle Pleistocene epoch, when humans grouped together in small societies, gathered plants, hunted for wild animals, and developed the most primitive stone tools. If he or she started watching funny saber-toothed cat videos around-the-clock, then a 6-billion-hour-long YouTube marathon would last from way back then until the wee hours of this morning.
Today, our ancestor would discover that the content on YouTube is significantly more diverse and the audience is ridiculously bigger than it was 8 years ago when the video-sharing website was launched.
Gen C: A Powerful New Force in Consumer Culture
With 1 billion people visiting YouTube worldwide every month, virtually any audience that content creators or advertisers want to reach is on YouTube. But, according to Kyncl, the audience that most marketers want to reach is called Generation C.
Gen C is a powerful new force in consumer culture. It's a term YouTube uses to describe people who care deeply about creation, curation, connection, and community. It's not an age group; it's an attitude and mindset defined by key characteristics. About 80 percent of Gen C is made up of millennials, YouTube's core (though by no means only) audience.
At Think Insights, there is some interesting new data on Gen C. For example, Gen C influences more than $500 billion in annual consumer spending in the U.S. alone.
In addition, the data on Think Insights reports:
- 91 percent of Gen C sleeps next to a smartphone.
- 88 percent of Gen C has a social profile, and 65 percent update it daily.
- 80 percent of the members of Gen C with a smartphone watch YouTube on it.
- 40 percent of Gen C is more likely to be only light TV viewers.
In a post on the YouTube Blog, Kyncl said this new data on Gen C "underscores a shift in consumer behavior, and now, Nielsen has further amplified this point by concluding that YouTube reaches more U.S. adults ages 18-34 than any cable network. And history – from the transition to radio, then TV, from network to cable – tells us that advertisers always follow the audience."
He added, "Much like our content creators, we find that brands on YouTube – like T-Mobile, Samsung, Dove and Pepsi – all share a common objective: to cultivate a direct relationship with their consumers – one built on engagement and authenticity. These companies know that on YouTube, it isn't just about rallying behind one show; it is about reaching the passionate fan communities of Gen C, an audience that influences more than $500 billion in annual consumer spending. As a result, we're seeing a myriad of brands increasing their media spend, building channels, and discovering first-hand that the interactions they have with their fans on YouTube drive engagement."
And embedded in Kyncl's post was a video that was made for YouTube Brandcast 2013.
The Brandcast event was held for advertisers at a Lower East Side pier in New York as part of a week of "NewFronts" (digital media's version of the TV tradition of promoting programming and selling ads). At that event, DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg also announced that his company had acquired AwesomenessTV, one of the most subscribed-to, teen-focused networks on YouTube.
As Kyncl said, "This acquisition gives DreamWorks an opportunity to align itself with Brian Robbins' powerful, next-generation, online video powerhouse. By partnering with more than 55,000 YouTube channels that collectively represent more than 14 million subscribers and almost 800 million video views, Brian successfully created a YouTube network comprised of one of the most valuable consumer groups – Generation C."
DreamWorks Animation joins other media companies like Time Warner, The Chernin Group, Bertelsman, Discovery Communications and Comcast, which have all made significant investments in companies that create, aggregate or service content for YouTube in the last 12 months.
So, it looks like the money is following Gen C. Now, we'll see if advertisers follow the audience, too.

Double-Density Compact Disk (DDCD)
Double-Density Compact Disk (DDCD) is a CD format that increases the storage capacity of the disk through means such as increasing the number of tracks and pits (scores on the disk that are used to encode the data). Philips and Sony described the DDCD specifications in their 2000 document (known informally as the Purple Book).
Letters from the Editor: 2016 State of Storage
Rich Castagna – the VP of Editorial, Storage – shares his candid, expert, and often very funny view on today's storage market. In these six "Letters from the Editor," originally featured in our monthly Storage magazine, Rich covers topics such as flash, data storage, SDS, storage hardware, data protection, convergence, and more.

Although DDCD did not receive much industry notice until Philips and Sony produced the Purple Book specifications, the Optical Disc Corporation (ODC) released a similar format, High Density CD (HDCD) in 1993, and Nimbus Technology and Engineering introduced their own Double-Density CD format in 1994. The general feeling in the industry is that DDCD has been introduced as a stop-gap measure to tide over the market until DVD inevitably solves its problems (such as standardization and compatibility issues) and makes the CD obsolete.

Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed
Seeking help is a sign of strength and "normalcy." By nature, we are relational creatures meaning we are innately drawn to belong to families, friendships, working relationships, etc. Going to thearpy is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of connection with your innate desire to connect with someone who understands you. As a therapist and coach, I believe connection is essential for change: connection with yourself and with someone who can guide you, work with you, and cheer you on along the way.

What Car? Awards MINI with Best Small Car 2016
MINI picks up a Best Small Car award at the What Car? Awards 2016. The stylish hatchback is one of the most popular small cars on the market, and it's easy to see why.
MINI Cooper 1.5T Chili Media 5dr: Best Small Car +£15,000
This five-door model's success is largely down to the fact that it's a capable, highly entertaining and stylish choice that doesn't cost a great deal to run.
"The Mini's 1.5 turbo engine only has three cylinders, but it delivers all the performance you expect while remaining relatively frugal."
The judges enjoyed the drive of the MINI Hatch with its keen cornering and comfortable ride. Adding the Media and Chili packs to the MINI adds options unavailable to other small cars including climate control, cruise control and a multimedia system.
If you're in the market for a new Small Car, the MINI Hatch 1.5T Chili Media 5dr, is a fantastic choice.

From cacher "kwcahart":
"My Garmin 450T was stolen Thursday night in Waco (Bellmead) Texas. I am hoping that whoever stole it might try to sell it to a forum user and you might recognize it. When you power it up it has "Reward Ken" and my phone number 830-391-ABCD on it. If you run across it call me and I will reward you for your honesty. Thanks. (call the police first)"

The Mission
Kayla had been watching her daughter from a distance. Kohath had informed her that today would be a very important day in her daughter's life. "Only she can decide which direction her life goes," Kohath had told her years ago on that day when her and her husband had first met him, "but you can certainly do your best to direct her in the right direction.
"How do we direct her?" She had asked.
"Through her dreams mostly but there are other things as well. Even though she won't be able to see you there are things that you can do that will reach her perception."
Now as Kayla watched her daughter she realized that something in the scene before her didn't quite match the scene Kohath had shown her the day before. What was wrong? Then it clicked with her. It wasn't time for Linda to read the necklace yet. Where are the singers? Kayla wondered. She had to stall had to keep her daughter from reading the necklace before it was time. Using the limited power that Kohath had bestowed upon her and her husband she caused a squirrel that was crossing over her head to jump down in a pile of leaves and run off. Pleased with herself she watched as her daughter turned and looked directly at her with unseeing eyes.
The singing suddenly filled the air around them. Kayla smiled Right on time she thought. She watched as her daughter stuck the necklace into her pocket and hurried off in the direction of the sound. Satisfied Kayla went to report her progress to Kohath who was waiting patiently for her return.


text: NEW YORK, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Excessive use of social media may dramatically increase risky behavior among young adults and teens, and may be directly linked to alcohol and drug abuse. A recent UCLA study reported that 66% of teens that were being treated for substance abuse disorders said they had the desire to abuse drugs after visiting their friends' pages on social media sites. While peer pressure has a direct effect on a teen's likelihood of using alcohol and drugs, the impact of social media is much more dramatic. "Social media is peer pressure gone viral," maintains Jill Backfield, Ph.D., Executive Director and Director of Clinical Services of New York Center For Living. In fact, some statistics cite that young adults who are addicted to social media are three times more likely to abuse alcohol and two times more likely to abuse some kind of drugs. When everyone is on Facebook, and the talk turns to partying or posting seemingly socially accepted photos of drinking and drugging, it increases the teen's fear of missing out, and very liking leads to experimentation and addiction. The outlying reasons may be because teens that spend an excessive amount of time on these social media platforms are more likely to exhibit anti-social behavior, anxiety and depression. The New York Center For Living advises parents of teens at risk of becoming addicted to social media to be vigilant in checking Facebook pages with regularity and communicating to their teens about peers, behavior and risk factors. ABOUT THE NEW YORK CENTER FOR LIVING Family-focused treatment is the cornerstone of New York Center For Living's philosophy, empowering the whole family to take charge of their emotions without relying on substances or other destructive behaviors.

Shadow Lord's Daughter: Part Three
I wake up again back in my bed. I look around. How did I get here?
I hear dad talking to someone on the phone. "No, she doesn't know. Well, why else do you think she's late? I'm letting her sleep in. No, it'd be better if she heard it from me. I don't care what you say, she's my daughter and she'll do better if it's…I don't care! Yes, she'll still be at school. Is it a crime for her to be late? Look, let me handle this, okay? Fine. Bye."
The door opens and dad walks in.
My stomach sinks. "Dad? What happened?"
Dad sighs and sits on the bed. He says nothing and thinks, like he's choosing his words carefully.
My stomach sinks further. "Dad, what is it?"
My dream flashes back into my head and my heart starts beating faster.
Dad closes his eyes. "Nikki, there was an accident last night. Ryan was riding his motorcycle and he ran off the road."
Even though I know what he's going to say, it still hurts. I close my eyes and grab a handful of the blankets as if that will help with what he's about to say.
"Nikki, Ryan's dead."
The words are like a physical blow. I feel like I'm in a vacuum in space and everything is being sucked apart. I hurt all over, like I was run over by a steamroller. My heart races, then almost stops.
"Nikki? Say something."
I gasp for air. I feel like I'm drowning.
Dad reaches for my hand. "Nikki, I saw Ryan's ghost enter the supernatural side. There was a scent on him, and not the usual scent of the recently deceased. It smelled like…"
"Roses and vanilla," I say, finishing his sentence. "Like what you smelled when mom died."
"How do you know that?"
I shrug. "You took me to see her one last time when she died, and she smelled like that."
He shook his head. "Nikki, how did you know what Ryan smelt like when he passed on?"
I hesitate for a second. "I…"
"Nikki, you went to the supernatural side without my permission, didn't you? We talked about this, especially after Jack the Ripper. Nikki, you can't keep taking chances like this, you know that."
It's pointless talking to my dad while he's in a tirade, so I let him rage. As usual, whenever he's angry, he starts looking more like the Shadow Lord. His hair gets darker, and his eyes turn to obsidian. Shadows start forming around him, his skin gets paler, and his skin starts fading, becoming transparent.
"Dad, I didn't cross over without permission. I was dragged there. I had a dream about Ryan last night. He asked for my help."
Dad blinks. "What all did he say?"
I look down at the blankets folded up in my hands. "He said that he'd taken away all the memories I wanted gone, and he wanted my help in return."
"And then what happened?"
"He told me who he was and I fell off a cliff." I shudder at the memory.
Dad's looking at the wall behind me, thinking. With his tempter subsiding, he's starting to regain his human appearance. His black hair is fading from shadow-black to human-black, and his eyes return to their normal brown. After a minute, he turns back to me.
He sighs. "Nikki, I need to look into this. Very few are strong enough to pull humans through the barrier, let alone the daughter of the Shadow Lord. You'll be staying here, where it's safe. I'll have someone to come watch over you."
"Dad, I don't need a babysitter."
He looks at me. "Nikki, it's too dangerous for you to be alone. If what I think is true…"
His voice trailed off, and the look in his eyes says he's not going to say anything about what he thinks.
"So does this mean I still have to go to school?'
He nods, but his mind isn't on me, or this world. "Everything's still normal for you. Just no barrier jumping. At all."
"Okay, I won't," I say even though I intend to so I can see Ryan again.
Dad's eyes snap back to reality. "Nikki, I mean it. It's too dangerous. No visiting Ryan. At all."
My heart sinks. "Dad, I at least want to say goodbye. Please?"
He sighs. He knows this feeling, the feeling when someone you love dies. "Alright. But I'm coming with you."
