Chapter 6
It was not just age eating away at her.
Elitha moved her fragile form to the window, looking to the world beyond wistfully. Slowly she was crumbling, weakening, dissolving from the person she used to be, physically and mentally. Several doctors had consulted her, looked her over extensively, and concluded only there was some mysterious black disease spreading like an evil stain through her system, and she did not have very long to live.
Never had Elitha been the most vigorous of young ladies. Though days of her youth went mainly unaffected by illness of any sort, she had something of a weak, delicate constitution, never meant for endurance. In those days she usually went unbothered by the handicap, for as the Princess you spent many days immobile or doing very little rigorous activity.
But then pregnancy came very hard for Elitha, and in childbirth she almost lost her own life. The doctors deemed her unable to bear any further children, which came as an incredible blow to the King. It remained a secret from the ever-whispering, ever-wondering public, but Elitha always felt, ever since, that Howard was just waiting for her to die so that he could marry another, more capable, woman. And since the incident, Elitha felt the growing fragility, mixed with severe despression, making her suspectible to a weakness she was never able to shake. In the latest of years, this shadowy illness had blossomed inside of her, draining the life from her.
The Queen, alone in her room now, continually wondered why she failed to tell her daughter such news, that she withheld the information of her impending death. She could not force it from her lips, espeically in her daughter's presence, accept the reality of the end before her and the pain it would cause Cassandra. The girl had enough on her plate, Elitha reasoned, and did not need her mother adding more to the fire.
Elitha was certain that as Cassandra departed for Navarn, it would be the last time they saw one another. Cassandra would marry, and Elitha would die.

I have a lot of mirrors around my house, not because I like to look at myself, but because I like the light and perspective they bring to a room. Of course mirrors are also there to remind me what I look like – I am not Pollyanna any more.
Sometimes I like what I see, sometimes I don't. I used to say I didn't like my nose but I've moved on to my cheekbones now – I would like them to be higher. My best feature is my hair. It's still blond, but there's quite a bit of white now. I don't know what colour to dye it, so I am just leaving it to go its own way.
When you start acting as a child, you grow up ahead of your movies. And, if the movies make an impact on the public, the child associated with them is a child for ever more. There was a period of adjustment when I wasn't sure what to do, or who I was, or what kind of roles to take. That drove me into the theatre when I was 20, which was a great learning curve for me.
Now I focus less on my appearance and more on positives, such as the wisdom that I've gained. I have a two-year-old grandson and I am rediscovering the world through his eyes, which brings me a great deal of joy and laughter. I actually appreciate other people and experiences much more now than I ever did because, at 64, one has kind of got one's self out of the way.

The work hardening of alloys hardened by precipitate heat treatments depends on the distribution of the precipitate sizes and the solute level left in the metal matrix. A mean field theory for precipitation is first applied for the ageing and subsequently it is coupled to a work hardening model to study the stress-strain responses of age hardened conditions of AA6xxx alloys. The predictions are compared to mechanical experiments and to TEM characterisations.

I was please with the new cleaner. It is lightweight and easy to use. It is compact so can get into small spaces. I purchased it to clean heavy spots and general cleaning. It did an okay job on the spots. I would recommend for light use -it is not heavyduty. I have a small rancher with light carpets throughout so it was suitable for my purposes.

Pregnancy related issues
I last had my periods on the 12th of April,16 which goes for 5days. Heavy the 1st day and gradually becomes light by the 5th day. I had unprotected sex on the 24th of April, 16 and me and my partner tried the pull out method. My partner being 100% confident that he has immense self control and assures of the fact that I won't get pregnant. He is against taking pills, so i have not taken any contraceptive pills but I am starting to worry. What are the chances that i could get pregnant ?

Coitus interruptus is not a safe method.there are still chances to get pregnant.infact you hv done unprotected sex during the most fertile period that is between 10th day to 18 th day of menses.so you should take contraceptive measures.after all its your body and ur life that will be ruined after pregnancy.

Development of a fiber optic tiltmeter for static and kinematic applications
€ 49,80

April 2010
BeschreibungEngineering geodesists are accustomed to selecting appropriate sensors for often challenging and highly accurate measurements, but usually not to contributing directly to the sensor development. Knowledge in electronics, mechanical modeling, system theory and precision mechanics is required, which is beyond the basic education of geodesists. However, basic essentials of the geodetic education are instrumentation, signal processing and parameter estimation - also necessary requirements in sensor technology. Consequently, the attempt of combining these fields is made in this thesis.
The thesis is concerned with the development of a tiltmeter whose sensing element consists of a fiber optic cantilever. Tilt measurements are common observations in engineering geodesy, and the determination of the instantaneous inclination is a challenging task, especially in the kinematic case. Moreover, fiber optic sensor technology gains more and more importance due to the superior performance in harsh environments.
By reviewing existing sensors - conventional tiltmeters, fiber optic cantilever sensors and fiber optic tiltmeters - the straightforward and advantageous principle of using a bare fiber as a sensing element for tilt angles in two orthogonal axes is developed. Based on this review, a prototype development is described. The mechanical component of the tiltmeter, i.e., the sensor element itself, is supposed to act like a cantilever experiencing biaxial deflections. This is investigated in detail for the static and dynamic case to obtain a better understanding of what is happening inside the sensor development during operation. Experimental results excellently confirm the mathematical and mechanical models.
Light guided within the fiber can directly be used to monitor the deflections of the sensor element on a position detector, and these deflections are proportional to the tilt angles. The biaxial tilt angles are derived from the (quasi-) static acceleration component, which requires digital filtering techniques to extract the time-dependent positions of rest of the vibrating sensor element. Once these positions are determined, tilt angles can be calculated provided that the cantilever deflections and their relation to inclination angles are known. These relations are determined by two different calibration facilities and procedures, which were developed and set up in the laboratory of the Institute. The accuracy of the measured fiber deflections is in the range of 1 µm for deflections of ±4 mm after calibration of the position detector. Relating the fiber deflections to inclination angles yields an accuracy of the calibration results in the range of ±0.01° for ±30°. Static tests confirm a precision of 0.015° and an accuracy of 0.04° for the whole working range. This is sufficiently accurate for many applications, which is shown by several simple examples.
However, the determination of the instantaneous tilt angle in kinematic applications is limited by the problem of separating tilt and acceleration and by the unavoidable delay of the sensor output. For the described development, this delay is caused by the filtering process. A sensor enhancement is proposed which enables a more realistic estimation of the instantaneous tilt angle using a second but differently balanced sensor element and adaptive filtering. The principal applicability of the enhancement is confirmed by simulation results. Disturbing influences in certain directions can be reduced by arranging additional sensor elements in differently orientated axes. The combination of these individual cantilever observations then further improves the dynamic performance of the sensor.

Mystery of Family History
Lisa Stone held the black phone high above her head, ready to smack or call 911. She'd been hearing a loud clanging noise, and the sound of her fridge opening and closing. She decided to go investigate. As she was about to reach for the door handle to the kitchen, the knob twisted before she had time to grab it. She swallowed a gulp of saliva that she had been holding back in her mouth. She pierced her eyes shut, and as she slowly heard the door open, she slammed the phone on the intruders head. When she decided to open her eyes, who she saw laying on the floor made her cry and laugh at the same time. With his black shaggy hair in his face, his skin looking a lot more pale than usual, and a little blood dripping down from his forehead, was her very own brother.
"Hey, John." Lisa said slowly, entering the all glass hospital room.
"Ugh, leave me alone!" John protested, eating a huge bowl of chocolate chip mint ice cream-- his favorite-- with whip cream and caramel sauce.
'I just wanted to say I was sorry for the whole, smacking you thing. It was stupid of me to act so quickly." Lisa repeated her mothers exact words that she had used to scold Lisa. She left out the part where mom yelled, "You're in seventh grade! You should have known to call me if you heard strange noises!" Just then, John's nurse, Mariah walked in with a beautiful smile on her face.
"How we doin'?" she asked sweetly, picking up John's empty ice cream bowl and simply plopping it in the sink.
"I'm good, except for the fact that my sisters a worthless dweeb." John smirked at his own humor. Lisa looked at Mariah. She had golden blond hair with a blue embroidered barrette placed perfectly in place with her pony tail.
Later on, Lisa returned to John's room with a garden salad from the cafeteria. She opened the plastic case and started to dig in. She missed lunch, so she was starving. As Mariah sat there, scribbling down notes on her notepad, Lisa noticed that she had the same exact ring that Lisa's dad had given her. Her father had passed away about 5 years ago, and this ring was one of a kind. There were only about 3 in the whole world, and only her father could get them, since he worked at the Museum of Fine Arts.
"Hey, I have the exact same ring." Lisa said to Mariah, cutting an over-sized carrot into bite-size pieces.
"How funny," Mariah replied, not laughing at all. In fact, she looked nervous. She swirled the ring around her finger, like she was deciding to take it off or not.
"My dad gave it to me." Lisa stated, trying to make conversation.
"Who was your dad again?" Mariah asked, her voice high like she was in pain, or about to cry.
"Gregory Stone. He died from cancer, like--"
"5 years ago, I know. I went to high school with him, and I read it in the paper. I'm sorry."
"Oh, it's okay." Lisa said, shrugging. She stabbed up a piece of lettuce and a tomato, but then let it slide back into the bowl.
"Your dad was a good man," Mariah blurted, before trotting out of the room, a trail of perfume following behind her.
"What's that?" John asked, pointing to a notepad on the table next to his bed. Lisa picked it up. It read:
Get DNA Sample. Lisa...

I saw Ara leave the room. I followed quietly. He pressed his ear against a door. I smelt the air. It smelt of that thing. I crept up behind Ara, and twisted him round to face me. He put his ears back as I touched him.
"Ara, I don't care what you did in the past. I love you for who you are, whether it be a coward, the one who fought kitchen appliances, *chuckle* or the shy one who sits in that dark corner with me. I don't care." I whispered to him.
He looked into my eyes, then hesitantly wrapped his arms round me. I hugged him, and I leaned my head on his shoulder. I pulled away. I looked into his eyes. He had small tears in them. I brushed them away, making my fingers sizzle. I gently kissed Ara. He flinched, but did not pull away. He jolted, and let out a whine. I looked over my shoulder, and almost screamed. There was a Shadow laying on the floor, but on one of its hands, it had three fire fingers. "Jyll!!" I screamed. Jyll jolted, and turned around to face me. I shook my head. Jyll's rabbit and a tiny vial lay next to her.
"Jyll, I'm sorry, but do you mind me putting a fire cage around you? That way no one else ca be turned into a Shadow by you, and you won't be harmed any further." Jyll nodded. I took the little vial, and looked at it. I gave Jyll her rabbit, and Ara ran back into the room to Corby with the vial. I looked at Jyll, and reached through the bars, and kissed her forehead.

Court of FlawMature
"My name is Miss Wilkes and I will be your substitute teacher on this fine Thursday morning." A petite woman with thick wire-framed glasses and mousy blonde hair stood at the front of my chemistry class. "Now, it doesn't look like your teacher left a lesson plan for January fourteenth… So I'll just let you guys work on any homework you have for other classes. You can talk as long you keep the volume down."
Cassidy giggled. "She knows that this is first period right? We don't have any homework yet…" A wry smiled snaked across my face as I held up a single finger in front of my lips—the universal sign for "Shh!" Cassidy seemed like such a cool girl, but I couldn't help but think about all of the nasty shit Brielle had written online.
I adjusted my position on the cold metal stool to face her. I inhaled and managed to screw up the courage to ask her about the comments Brielle had posted online the previous week. "So, I was on Facebook the other day…" I didn't even have to finish; she knew what I was talking about. "None of it's true. Well, I did kiss Jason… but that's it! Like seriously, all lips no tongue."
The sadness in her wide brown eyes told me she was telling the truth. "And Bri knows that I've had a crush on him since middle school." She bit down on her lower lip. "Wanna know the worst part? It was my first kiss ever." My eyebrows shot upwards towards my braided hippie-headband. What? How on earth could one of the most popular girls at John Quincy Adams who was currently being painted as a ginormous slut by her peers be a kissing virgin?
I honestly didn't know what to say. How do you console someone who's had their best friend turn on them? "That's fucked up." As soon as the words tumbled out of my mouth I was amazed at my own lack of grace. Seriously Farrah? That was the best you could come up with? The rest of the period passed in total silence—at least on our part, Mike DeLavaggio and Darryl Preston were loudly discussing the color of Tiffani Lessers panties.
Throughout the rest of my morning classes there was a dark cloud floating above my head. I had failed tremendously at consoling Cassidy, I was painfully jealous of my best friend on the planet, and I had been caught making out with my maybe-boyfriend the bitchiest teacher at John Quincy Adams. I always seemed to manage to make a mess out of everything. I was almost too emotionally drained to even handle lunch. Alas, as a human being I required calories and conversation.
Zooey and I went through our usual routine in the lunch line. I ended up picking some spaghetti drenched in suspicious looking sauce; she chose a chicken ceasar salad. "Ooh! That looks…" She trailed off. "Like it might give me Salmonella?" I giggled. Once we had fallen back into rhythm of witty banter I felt like an enormous weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Zo was still Zo, the bubbly fashion-junkie with a heart of gold and an obsession with old Hollywood black and white film noire. She hadn't somehow morphed into a charm bracelet wearing bitchbot overnight. I sighed with relief and she shot me an inquisitive look.
Our table was munching away on the cafeteria's various delicacies, making smalltalk and joking about our teacher's sex lives. Just as we broke into a fit of thundering laughter the crunchy speakers fizzled to life. "Hello students! Principal Havender here, the nominations for Freshman Formal Court have been counted and I'm pleased to inform you that this year's court will consist of Jason Rhyse, Brielle McKenzie, Ryan Teaver, Ashlynn Jenks, Michael DeLavaggio, Molly Bradshaw, Hayden Bristoff, Cassidy English, Nicolas Esperañzo, and Zooey Abrams.
The look on Liam's face was priceless; it was as if someone had just told him that the Earth was indeed flat.

"Which brings up the next thing," I pulled up the deferments screen on Grace's computer. "We can't forcibly make anyone come with us. So we monitor the laggers here, so we're ready to pick them up at a moment's notice, should they lose their focus, or change their mind.
"Finally: Dress Code," I said. "Casual's preferred. Research shows that people are more likely to go with us if we looked relaxed and not intimidating. Don't wear anything that makes you look like you run a funeral parlor. Definitely stay away from that 'Ghost of Christmas-Yet-to-Come" look. Think more like Audrey Hepburn from Always. More Gap than Goth."
"Got it," Grace noted. She unwrapped a black hoodie from her waist and held it up. "Is this okay? In case it gets cold?"
I thought it over. "Iffy. If you gotta wear it tonight, try not to use the hood. People freak out easily when they're dead."

The Comptroller Auditor General (CAG) of India has brought to fore various grave irregularities in the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) in Haryana.
The CAG report, which was tabled in the Haryana Vidhan Sabha on Monday, said the SSA, launched in 2001 in the state to provide elementary education all children of in six to 14 age group, had borne poor results.
The report added that learning enhancement programme was not planned properly as only Rs 1.23 crore out of budgeted amount of `15.12 crore was spent during 2008-2013 while the enrolment of students had decreased from 14.55 lakh to 13.44 lakh in primary schools during 2008-13. The number of out of school children was 1.25 lakh against the target to bring it to zero.
There were long delays in providing books and uniforms to students. Further, in the absence of risk and cost clause in the contract agreement for supply of books, the department had to incur extra expenditure of Rs 5.9 crore, the report said.
A total of 32,504 (80.3%) out of 40,472 works were completed during 2008-13, while 468 civil works pertaining to the period 2003-07 remained incomplete, the report said, adding there were 54,063 teachers against 72,446 posts in primary and upper primary schools indicating shortage of 18,383 (25%) teachers. Further, there were excess teachers in some districts and shortage in other districts.
Performance audit was conducted from October 2012 to August 2013 covering the office of state project director, Haryana School Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad and district project coordinator (DPC) offices for the period 2008-13.
The CAG report observed that district plans were not prepared properly after conducting proper survey or obtaining data from village level. Further, individualised education plans for each child with special needs were not made by any of the DPCs. As a result, a number of interventions like 'learning enhancement programme', 'deprived children in urban areas' and 'minority community students' could not be implemented properly.
The Parishad stated that planning was done at the district level and then compiled for preparation of state plan. The CAG report said the planning at the district level was not up to the mark as there were discrepancies in district plans and these were not prepared properly after conducting proper survey or obtaining data at village level.
The CAG report said since bank reconciliation statements were not prepared by the Parishad and as a result of this embezzlement had also occurred.
The enrolment at primary school level had decreased during 2008-13. There was improvement in enrolment of students in upper primary schools. The objective of the programme to bring all children in schools or alternate schools was not achieved as about 1.25 lakh students were still out of school at the end of March 2013. Further, interventions for out of school children, NPEGEL, uniforms, free text books, children with special needs, were not implemented properly, as a result, the funds remained blocked and objective of each intervention could not be fully achieved.
There were also deficiencies in execution of civil works such as lack of planning, delays in completion, extra expenditure, sub-standard execution, etc. There was shortage of teachers to the extent of 25%.
Shortfall in imparting in-service training to teachers and induction training to JBT teachers were also observed. The audit findings were discussed with principal secretary, school education department, during the exit conference held in January 2014, the CAG report said.

Submillimeter lines from circumstellar disks around pre-main sequence starsG.-J. van Zadelhoff1, E. F. van Dishoeck1, W.-F. Thi1 and G. A. Blake2

(Received 13 November 2000 / Accepted 9 August 2001)
Observations of submillimeter lines of CO, HCO+, HCN and their isotopes from circumstellar disks around low mass pre-main sequence stars are presented. CO lines up to , and HCO+ and HCN lines up to , are detected from the disks around LkCa 15 and TW Hya. These lines originate from levels with higher excitation temperatures and critical densities than studied before. Combined with interferometer data on lower excitation lines, the line ratios can be used to constrain the physical structure of the disk. The different line ratios and optical depths indicate that most of the observed line emission arises from an intermediate disk layer with high densities of 106-108 cm-3 and moderately warm temperatures in the outer regions. The data are compared with three different disk models from the literature using a full 2D Monte Carlo radiative transfer code. The abundances of the molecules are constrained from the more optically thin 13C species and indicate depletions of 1-30 for LkCa 15 and very high depletions of >100 for TW Hya with respect to dark cloud abundances. Evidence for significant freeze-out (factors of 10 or larger) of CO and HCO+ onto grain surfaces at temperatures below 22 K is found, but the abundances of these molecules must also be low in the warmer upper layer, most likely as a result of photodissociation. A warm upper layer near the surface of a flaring disk heated by stellar and interstellar radiation is an appropriate description of the observations of TW Hya. LkCa 15 seems to be cooler at the surface, perhaps due to dust settling. The density constraints are also well fitted by the flared disk models.

The unanimous ruling by the five law lords was greeted with delight by supporters of the general, offering the prospect that he may yet avoid extradition to Spain to face charges of torture, kidnapping and conspiracy to murder.
Lawyers for General Pinochet had successfully argued that the original ruling was flawed because Lord Hoffmann, one of the judges on the panel, had failed to disclose his relationship with Amnesty International. The human rights group had been present as interveners during the hearing and argued that the general should not be protected by immunity.
The House of Lords is supposed to be the court of last resort and its ruling the final word on any case, although it is open to challenge in the European courts. The appeal by General Pinochet's lawyers against the law lords' ruling that he was not immune to prosecution set a precedent of challenging their decisions.
After yesterday's ruling it was revealed that the Lord Chancellor, Lord Irvine of Lairg, had written to the senior law lord, Lord Browne- Wilkinson, demanding new measures to prevent the situation recurring.
He wrote: "My request to you is that you ... ensure that at any time any committee is being composed to hear an appeal that its proposed members consider together whether any of their number might appear to be subject to a conflict of interest, and in order to ensure impartiality, and the appearance of impartiality... require any law lord to disclose any such circumstances to the parties, and not sit if any party objects and the committee so determines."
Lord Hoffmann was yesterday out of the country. One Tory MP, Gerald Howarth, said that he must consider his future. "It is a quite remarkable twist of events and must make Lord Hoffmann question his position as a law lord," he said.
According to legal experts Lord Hoffmann's resignation would only become a strong possibility if the law lords said in their reasoning behind yesterday's decision - due to be published in January - that he had actually demonstrated bias in his decision. No law lord has resigned since the present system was devised in 1876
Delivering the judgment in the House of Lords, Lord Browne-Wilkinson said: "In the special circumstances of the case, including the fact that Amnesty International was joined as intervener and appeared by counsel before appellate committee, Lord Hoffmann, who did not disclose his links with Amnesty International, was disqualified from sitting."
It was revealed in The Independent that solicitors acting for General Pinochet had received material earlier this year highlighting Lord Hoffmann's links with Amnesty International Charity. But his lawyers stressed in the Lords that Lord Hoffmann himself should have disclosed the connection, and because he did not, General Pinochet remained unaware of them.
A new Lords hearing has been scheduled for the new year. The decision by the Home Secretary, Jack Straw, to allow an extradition request from Spain to go ahead, based on the original Lords ruling, remains active. However, the extradition proceedings are now expected to be held in abeyance until the new hearing decides on the question of immunity. Who pays the cost of the various legal actions, said to be running at more than pounds 1m, will also be decided at the conclusion of the case.
The Tory spokesman on home affairs, Sir Norman Fowler, renewed his call for Mr Straw to send General Pinochet home. "This is a case which should be settled in Chile, not here in Britain," he said. However, the Home Office said yesterday that Mr Straw did not intend to intervene at this stage and would let the legal process take its course.
Amnesty International yesterday expressed disappointment at the decision, but said the legal battle would go on. Baroness Thatcher, who had called for General Pinochet's release, refused to comment on the day's developments.
The leader of the Chilean senate, Andres Zaldivar, said during a visit to Spain he was very pleased with the "positive" decision. Carlos Reyes, spokesman for former Chilean political prisoners group Chile Democratico, said: "I am in total shock ... From the very beginning I believed justice would be done ... Now I am not so sure."Reuse content

I fidgeted under his grasp, lifting my head up.
"Why can't I talk?" I whispered.
"Shut up! And it's not just for your sake, it's for mine!" I rolled my eyes and dumped my head back on the floor. What's the worst that could happen?
A few minutes passed until he spoke. "Get up. Now."
"What? Why? I don't even know if I can!"
"Well are you some type of vegetable or what? Get up!"
"I might be! All I remember is walking through the woods, and then blackness.. and then.. ooh, a-"
"We can tell our life stories later. Hurry up!"
"Whatever." I waited for him to let go of my hands, but he hadn't caught on yet. "Ahem?"
"Let go?" He released me and I got up and brushed myself down. Mistake. My fingers were now coated in blood as well. I thought about legging it, but there was no point. I didn't know where I was, or where to go, if he was going to help me, or if I was injured. Might as well die now. "What's all this blood?" I asked as he dragged me through the gravel and into the woods.
"I'll explain later, when we get in."
"In where?"
"I'll explain later! For goodness sake. Here I am, trying to bloody help you, and all you can do is nag and ramble on about a load of crap?" I ignored that comment and purposely said something else just to annoy him.
"Do you know me?" I smiled and he let out a frustrated sigh.
"Get on my back."
"Well, okay," I shrugged, and jumped onto his back. He began to run through the tangle of green, the bright white sun seeping through the sheltering canopies.

A survivor reported panicked travellers fought over life jackets as the boat capsized.
"We're afraid many have died," said Slamet Bustam, an official at Semarang port, where hundreds of distraught relatives and friends waited for news about their loved ones.
The Senopati went down around midnight on Friday en route to the Java port from the northern island of Borneo - a 49-hour journey. Around 14 hours after the disaster, 66 survivors had been found, many of them drifting in lifeboats, officials said.
Authorities were struggling to come up with an accurate number of people onboard, as waves of up 5 metres (16 feet) made it hard to reach the accident site.
In a last radio contact, the captain informed port authorities that the ship was severely damaged and capsizing, said local navy commander Col. Yan Simamora.
"We all just prayed as waves got higher," said Cholid, a passenger who survived by clinging to some wooden planks, but lost his 18-year-old daughter. "The ship broke up after turning upside-down," he said.
Panicked passengers fought over life jackets as the boat capsized, sending cars crashing into one another in the cargo hold, he said. "I was going upstairs to try to help my daughter, but the ship suddenly broke up and I was thrown out. I lost her," said Cholid, who like many Indonesians uses one name.
Worried family members gathered at the main office of ferry operator PT Prima Fista in search of news. "I am waiting for my mother, auntie, sister and nephew who were on their way to celebrate New Year's Eve at my house," said Yulis, 25.
Transport Minister Hatta Radjasa put the number onboard at 542, citing the passenger manifest, but ships in Indonesia often carry far more people than recorded.
The ferry ran into trouble around 40 kilometers (24 miles) off Mandalika island, some 300 kilometers (190 miles) northeast of the capital, Jakarta, while en route to Semarang on Central Java from Kumai on Borneo island.
Seasonal storms have wreaked havoc across Indonesia in recent days, triggering flash floods and landslides that have killed more than 145 people and driven hundreds of thousands from their homes on Sumatra.
Ferries are a main source of transportation in Indonesia, a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands with a population of 220 million.

A 70s New York classic – the first and best album by Eddie Drennon! Eddie's got a unique sound that's part soul and part Latin – grooving here in a Latin Hustle mode that brings together gliding strings, floating chorus vocals, and a heavier funk-based set of rhythms that really kicks up the groove! Club diva Esther Williams is one of the singers in the group, and the mix of strings and funk is completely sublime throughout! Great cuts include the heavily funky (and often sampled) "Theme In Search", which has a very dark groove that we can't get enough of, and the club classic "Do What You Gotta Do" – but there's also loads of other nice ones, like "Let's Do It Again", "Please Stay Please Stay", and "Get Down, Do The Latin Hustle".

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

I cannot let the month of April pass without mentioning that it's Autism Awareness Month! Autism affects 1 in every 150 children. Those statistics have risen dramatically in the last several years.
When Kameron was about 18 months old we noticed that something was different about him. He lined his toys up obsessively. All kids line toys up, but he would take his cars into the kitchen and put one car in each square... exactly the same distance from each other... facing the same direction... in the same order... every time. When he wasn't looking we would switch 2 of the cars around. He would walk back in, stare at the cars, and calmly switch them back.
He was obsessed with these:
He took them everywhere. He could stack them up so fast and then nestle them back together again before you even knew what happened.
Eventually he lost the few words that he had. He was frustrated because he couldn't communicate his wants and needs. His meltdowns happened several times a day. If we were out walking he would get mad and do the "flop and drop". One day he dropped and I instinctively held his arm and his elbow popped out of its socket. It was awful. He used to cry so hard he would forget to breathe and pass out.
Kameron didn't like to be touched. He rarely liked to be hugged. He didn't want anyone invading his space or touching his things. He mostly played by himself and many times would shut himself in his room for hours... he lived in his own world. We would have to coax him out to come join us and get him to play with Kassidy. His obsession moved on eventually to anything round. He loved pool rings and would carry 3 in each hand everywhere he went. When we moved here from California he stole our kitchen clock while we were unpacking. He carried that thing around everywhere.
He had major sensory issues... he couldn't stand anything sticky, play-doh, sand, or anything like that. He LOVED Rice Krispie treats but couldn't stand to touch them, even if they were wrapped in a paper towel. I used to feed them to him, it was just last year that he was finally able to hold one on his own. He had an aversion to a lot of different food, different textures, colors, and even smells would make him gag and throw up. His food list quickly dwindled down to 5 or 6 items.
Before we left California I voiced my concern to his pediatrician several times. He told me "He's a boy, he's a second child... give him time. He's fine." Mommy instinct told me he wasn't. When we moved here in February 2004,I was 7 1/2 months pregnant with Kennedy. In March, I went to my first OB appointment at Fort Campbell. I knew something had to be done for Kameron, but I didn't know where to start or who to ask. I walked onto the elevator at the hospital and there was a big sign:
Are you concerned about your toddler's development?
Call us!
So, I called the number. They brought him in and tested him. He was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS). It's on the Autism spectrum right under Aspergers. When the developmental pediatrician told us the diagnosis, she was very sensitive. I think she expected us to fall apart, but really, it was a relief for Frank and me. We had known something was going on with Kam for a long time and to us this was a pass to get him the help that he needed.
We quickly enrolled him in Early Intervention where he received Speech and Occupational therapy. When he turned 3 he transitioned into the special needs preschool in our district. There, he thrived. Eventually he just seemed to unlock. He started talking more and more and then not long after he turned 3 1/2, he started reading.
Today, Kameron is in the 1st grade. He is reading on a 7th grade level and comprehending on a 4th grade level. He loves to read, write, make up stories, and spell. He is excelling in every area academically. His meltdowns stopped once he was able to communicate, but he still gets upset easily and doesn't quite know how to control his anger. We have to remind him daily to make good choices. He doesn't have the common sense that other kids his age seem to have. He's not obsessed with the stacking cups or round things anymore, but he still doesn't like his space invaded, and he gives and receives hugs sparingly. His social skills are not quite up to par, but his friends view him as a leader and he's well liked at school. He's come a long, long way and he's working hard on overcoming his sensory issues.
I love to watch Kameron's mind work. I love to see the things he comes up with. He's so creative and does things so out of the norm. I think this is one of his best qualities and I can't wait to see what he does with his life. Whatever it is, it's going to be amazing!
So, in honor of Autism Awareness Month, Kameron has agreed to do a Q&A session on this blog! For the next week you can leave a question for him in the comment section here. Anything you'd like to know about him! Next week I will ask him the questions on video and post it all for you to see! Don't miss this chance to get to know a really special kid!

Today's topic: 10 things investors can do today to slash their 2008 taxes.
First: Start a deductible individual retirement account. Second: Fly back in time and harvest your capital losses. Third: Um, as long as you're back there, call yourself and see who answers. Fourth ...
OK, investors don't really have 10 ways to reduce their 2008 taxes, because with one exception — the deductible IRA — the clock ran out on Dec. 31.
TAX TIPS VIDEO: USA TODAY's Sandra Block offers help
Your best tax plan is to make sure you don't pay too much in 2009.
Let's start with the deductible IRA. You have until April 15 to contribute to your 2008 deductible IRA. You can then subtract your contribution from your 2008 income, which will reduce your taxes. You can contribute up to $5,000 for 2008; $6,000 if you are 50 or older.
Unfortunately, the odds are good that you can't deduct your IRA contribution. If you and your spouse have a retirement plan available through work, your income has to fall below certain limits to deduct your contribution. Joint filers who have a modified adjusted gross income of $85,000 can contribute the full amounts above. Your contribution limits shrink above $85,000 and vanish entirely at $105,000 of modified AGI.
Single filers who have a retirement plan available at work can make the full contribution to a deductible IRA, provided their modified AGI is $53,000 or less. The vanishing point: $63,000.
The rules on IRA deductibility are complex, and you can explore them in exquisite detail Here: Publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements (pdf).
If you sold any securities at a loss last year, don't forget to use those losses to reduce your taxes. You can use your capital losses to offset any amount of capital gains, if you're one of the three people on the planet who actually has capital gains. You can then deduct up to $3,000 in losses from your 2008 income. If you still have losses left over, you can use them in your 2009 taxes.
That's pretty much all investors can do now to reduce their 2008 taxes. But if you start planning, you can make a significant dent in your 2009 taxes.
• Fund your tax-deferred retirement plans. If you have a 401(k) plan, and particularly if your company matches your contributions, stuff it as full as possible. You can invest the lesser of $16,500 or the maximum percentage of your salary that your employer's plan allows. So if you earn $85,000 and your employer's maximum is 7% of your salary, you can contribute $5,950. People 50 or older can toss in an additional $5,500.
•Consider tax-managed stock funds. These funds try to offset their gains and losses so they have no annual capital gains payouts.
•Consider municipal bonds and muni bond funds. Currently, the 10-year T-note yields 2.74%. But a 10-year high-quality municipal bond yields 3.48%, according to Bloomberg. And higher yields aren't even the best part. Interest from municipal bonds are free from federal income taxes; if you invest in bonds issued by your state, the interest is free from state income tax as well.
Suppose your combined federal and state income tax rate is 35% and you bought a muni bond issued by your state. The bond's yield was 3%. To get the same amount of interest after taxes, you'd have to find a taxable bond that yielded 4.6%.
Unlike Treasuries, munis aren't guaranteed by the federal government. On the other hand, defaults in the municipal market are exceptionally rare. If you don't trust your ability to pick individual muni bonds, consider investing in a municipal bond fund. The top-performing general muni bond funds for the past five years are in the chart.
Unfortunately, you can't go back to 2008, no matter how much you want to tell yourself not to buy that condo. So finish your 2008 return and start now to reduce your 2009 taxes.
