Boo Williams vs. Louisiana Select
Gauchos vs. Illinois Warriors
The Family vs. YOMCA/Metro Hawks winner
Team Texas vs. Murfreesboro
James Dews, SG, All-Ohio: Was putting up 20-plus points every time he stepped on the court. He was knocking down shots from just about everywhere. The knock on his is athleticism, but he's got one of the prettiest mid-range games in the country and he also displayed extended range and an ability to get to the basket. Extremely underrated.
Stanley Robinson, F, Tallahassee Wildcats: We caught him on a couple occasions and the production just wasn't there. Had difficulty scoring, although he's intriguing because of his athleticism and explosiveness.
Maresse Speights, C, Tallahassee Wildcats: The prep school-bound big man, who played at St. Petersburg Admiral Farragut this past season, was impressive. He did a lot of work in the paint and did a nice job defensively against Brandan Wright.
Aaron Holmes, SG, Tallahassee Wildcats: The one-time N.C. State commit opened it up in hopes of going higher, but from what he did on Saturday, he should have been ecstatic with going to a Sweet 16 team like the Wolfpack. Shot wasn't falling and he's not the most athletic player around.
Brandan Wright, F, Murfreesboro: He continues to solidify his standing as one of the elite players in the class. He scored from all over on Saturday, handles the ball extremely well for someone his size and is also unselfish – almost to a fault.
Edgar Sosa, PG, Gauchos: Playing without Curtis Kelly, who is home working on his academics, the smooth floor leader stepped it up and proved he's one of the top 10 point guards in the nation. He gets to the basket, can light it up from the perimeter and is also doing a good job running the team and getting his teammates involved.
Greg Nero, PF, Albany City Rocks: He may not be the smoothest player around, but he plays hard and gets a lot done. He just had a couple of warts removed from his foot the other day, but despite bleeding in his foot, he's still playing with Jim Hart's crew. Davidson, Fordham, George Washington, BU, Ivy League's and even Stanford are showing interest.
Jonathan Mitchell, F, Metro Hawks: He is what he is – a hard-working combo forward who is probably more suited to play power forward. The lefty does a lot of damage in the post. He's not a great athlete, but he uses his body well and has a good basketball IQ.
Devon Samuels, PG, West Texas: Only averaged 10 points this past season at Lubbock Estacado, but he showed good court vision and also knocked down a few trifectas while playing with a lot of energy in a loss to All-Ohio.
Gary Clark, SG, Tallahassee Wildcats: He was arguably the most impressive player on a talented team. His shot was on the mark in a morning game, and he also battled for rebounds and is lethal in transition. He's going to be, along with Edwin Rios, the most recruited rising junior in the state. Clark 19 points in a loss to Murfreesboro.
Randy Culpepper, G, YOMCA: Put this kid among the elite outside shooters – in the entire nation regardless of class. Knocked down seven trifectas in at least two games this tournament. People will question his size (5-10 ½), so he'll have to make adjustment to the point.
Jon Deibler, SG, All-Ohio: Valparaiso coach Homer Drew was shadowing his early commit – and for good reason. Plenty of high-majors will likely try to get involved, but Deibler told Scout.com he was planning on honoring his commitment to Drew. Outside shot was erratic, but he's talented, long and has a nice-looking shot.
Brad Sheehan, C, Albany City Rocks: We got our first look at the Albany Shaker High (N.Y.) big man and he showed a nice, soft touch and more toughness than he expected. At this time next year, if he puts on some weight, he's an A-10 or Big East caliber recruit. Willing to mix it up in the paint; just needs more bulk.
Romero Osby, F, Jackson Tigers: We guarantee you'll be hearing a lot about this 6-foot-7 forward in the coming years. He's quick, blocks shots and can also shoot the three. Has a nice mid-range touch.
Jacoby Pittman: C, Jackson Tigers: Osby may not even be the best prospect on his own team. Pittman is active on the glass and he can also step up at 6-10 and knock down the mid-range jumper. Has high-major written all over him.

An Investment Opinion
Equal Access for All Investors Yi-Hsin Chang (TMF Puck)
November 22, 1999
Last week, Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCH) announced plans to offer certain clients Internet access to company road shows for initial public offerings (IPOs). While it's good news that Schwab is moving in the right direction in terms of full disclosure to individual investors -- Schwab is the first brokerage to offer Internet road shows to retail investors -- it's unfortunate that road shows are not being opened to all investors, big or small.
The change comes after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the first time issued a "no-action letter" that allows Schwab to offer Internet road shows to its Signature Services retail customers (roughly 20% of Schwab's 6.3 million customers) who participate in IPOs through the brokerage firm. Prior to the change, the SEC had limited the availability of Internet road shows largely to institutional investors and other "market professionals" (i.e., the Wise).
Companies going public traditionally conduct road shows in which top-level executives meet with groups of potential investors to discuss the company's plans, financials, etc. In the past few years, road shows have become available via the Internet, though the SEC had not allowed retail investors access to that information. Schwab correctly argued that road show information should be more broadly available to investors regardless of their market power, that companies should provide all potential investors equal public access to all relevant information.
While the change applies only to certain investors, Schwab should be commended for championing the rights of individual investors, for trying to democratize the process. (To be sure, given that Schwab's customers are largely retail-based, it's no doubt in the firm's best interest to get the rules changed.) It's understandable given the SEC's previous firm stance that Schwab pushed for an incremental change rather than sweeping reform. However, Schwab and other brokerage firms along with individual investors in general should press the SEC to open access to all investors.
The SEC's reasoning for limited access essentially shows a lack of faith in individual investors. The idea is that retail investors might have a harder time separating hype from facts when it comes to company road shows. Ironically, there's probably a lot more public hype out there in newspapers and on TV and the Internet preceding an IPO than what investors would get from the actual road shows. The road show presentations should provide far more rational insights than the sound bites we hear on the evening news. If the SEC is so concerned about hype, it should regulate the content of the road shows, not their audience.
Ultimately, the status quo makes individual investors second-class citizens in the world of investing. It's bad enough that institutional investors get the bulk of IPO shares due to preferential treatment plus access to closed analyst calls with management. Individual investors should at the very least be given equal access to information about the company so they can more accurately evaluate the investment potential.
Thanks to the Internet and other technological advancements, it costs companies virtually nothing to offer road shows and other information to all investors instead of just a select group. The SEC should allow companies to disseminate information to all investors, to provide full or at least broad disclosure to as many people as possible, especially given that investing in the public markets is at an all-time high.
Incidentally, I think that all too many individual investors are jumping on IPOs without adequate due diligence. Remember to read the offering prospectus and fully research the company. Also, don't follow the herd on an IPO just because you see an opening price that's significantly higher than the IPO price. The market price largely represents the short-term demand on a limited number of shares -- not necessarily the true value of the stock. Do your homework. Don't give individual investors a bad name.

i have nooo idea how to name organic compounds or how to draw the condensed formula. the stuff in the book is not really clear. help!!!
I'm afraid we can't help much with such a broad question. You're asking us to write a book.
hmm...let me try to narrow it down. ok so like if i have 3,3,6-trimethylnonane, how do i know where the carbons go and how many hydrogens are attached?
There are ALWAYS four (4) bonds to a carbon so if you can count to 4 you have that part made. A nonane is 9 C atoms long so write them out.
Start at the left and number those carbons as 1, 2, 3, 4, .......to 9.
On carbon 3, you remove two H atoms and add 2 CH3 groups. On carbon 6, remove 1 H and add CH3 group and you have it. The condensed formula would be done this way.
It's hard for me to count that high so I may have one too many or one too few carbons in the chain. One note here, when you start numbering carbon atoms as above, remember to pick the longest chain containing the most double and triple bonds.

I'm running our boiler straight through the summer, and I was wondering how many of us will be doing it this summer. I expect to lose a bit of money in doing this, but it won't be much vs. electric hot water.
If I assume 385 KWH per month for the electric hot water tank, and 15.5 lbs. per day for coal (at $243/ton), on a monthly basis it comes out like this:
30.6 days/month x 15.5 lbs coal per day x $0.1215/lb. = $57.63 per month for DHW from coal
385 KWH/month x $0.132/KWH = $50.82 per month for DHW from electricity
Difference = $6.81 per month, favoring electricity
Over the 5 months from May through September we will lose about $34, but I figure that we have already gained nearly $1,900 by heating with coal this brutal winter vs. electricity, so losing a mere $34 over the summer seems OK by comparison.

Child malnutrition in Somalia at dire levels: ICRC
By Stephanie Nebehay
GENEVA (Reuters) - One in 10 children in parts of drought-hit Somalia is at risk of starving to death, twice as many as recently as March, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Wednesday.
Malnutrition rates were believed to be significantly higher in other conflict-torn parts of central and southern Somalia, where few aid groups have been allowed to bring food relief.
"Levels of malnutrition have reached a new peak and are currently the highest in the world," the ICRC said in a statement.
The independent aid agency, one of very few with access to Somalia's worst-hit areas, said that even in the Bay and Lower Shabelle regions, the traditional breadbaskets, nearly 11 percent of children under five had severe acute malnutrition.
This meant they were at risk of starving to death. Rates were believed to be significantly higher in other areas.
"In some parts of Somalia, the number of children with severe acute malnutrition has almost doubled since March."
The disturbing findings were based on data from 39 clinics and 18 therapeutic feeding centres run by the Somali Red Crescent with its support. The ICRC said it was opening 10 new feeding centres in Bakool, Gedo and the Afgoye corridor.
The United Nations said on Tuesday it was struggling to keep up with an exodus of hungry Somali refugees. Emaciated children were dying of malnutrition along the way or after arriving in neighbouring Kenya and Ethiopia, it said. Continued...

This is an old image of Captain John Jenkins of Apalachicola, Florida.
Jenkins was a prominent riverboat captain on the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers at the beginning of the War Between the States. He had only recently acquired a new shallow draft boat, the Jackson for use in navigating the Chipola River during high water and the Apalachicola and Chattahoochee during times of low water.
Jenkins became a valuable asset to Confederate war efforts in the region. He commanded civilian steamboats that had been converted for use as supply vessels and transports on the Apalachicola and Chattahoochee Rivers throughout the war. He was involved in ferrying troops and supplies up and down the rivers and his knowledge of the river and expertise with steamboats proved quite beneficial to Confederate army and navy officers assigned to defend the river.
After the war, he returned to civilian life as a riverboat captain.

The Revenants Get Audiences Ready for Halloween (Three Stars)
The Revenants Get Audiences Ready for Halloween (Three Stars) "The Revenants" at The Factory Theatre, 791 Tremont Street, Boston. Written by Scott T. Barsotti; directed by Mikey DiLoreto and starring: Tim Fairley, Lizette Marie Morris, William Schuller, and Audrey Lynn Sylvia; through October 20th.
Just because the zombie apocalypse is upon us, doesn't mean the problems in our everyday lives will go away. At least, that seems to be theme of The Happy Medium Theatre's production of Scott T. Barsotti's "The Revenants".
Karen (Audrey Lynn Sylvia) and Gary (Tim Fairley) are having problems with their spouses - beginning with, but not limited to, the fact that they're dead. Or more correctly, that they're undead. World War III is over, and it doesn't matter who lost, but it's pretty apparent who won: the zombies that are running wild in the neighborhood. The play opens with Gary and Karen dragging the still-kicking bodies of their loved ones Molly (Lizette Marie Morris) and Joe (William Schuller) into an abandoned basement - where they affix them each to a brick wall on dog leash set-ups that allow them to wander in small, separate radiuses in either corner. The living spouses stay out of the reach of their purgatorial mates so they won't bite and infect them and turn them into zombies. Apparently they're not quite ready to shoot them in the head to put them out of their misery (standard zombie killing etiquette), just in case they make some sort of miraculous recovery. The four of them will need to stay holed up in their love nest so Karen and Gary won't be attacked by zombie hordes and end up like their spouses. It's a pretty creepy scenario, and the Factory Theatre space is perfectly cast as the post apocalyptic hell hole.
But if you think your marital issues come to an end just because your spouse is un-dead, you've got another think coming. Molly and Joe, who don't speak, do a lot of sitting around and moaning and wheezing like COPD patients when they aren't lunging at Gary and Karen when they wander too close to their circles. They both do a nice job of being undead, managing to look the part of decomposing folks who aren't quite ready to throw in the towel (kudos to costume designer Erica Desautels). But I'm not sure that Gary's life doesn't suck more than the dead folks. His main job - in order that he and Karen don't starve to death - is to gather food and cigarettes for the pair, leaving the safety of the basement when the zombies are less active to rummage for supplies. But he manages to spend most of his time getting loaded, babbling nonsense to Karen, and passing out. The booze seems to help him accept his wife's fate, because he doesn't seem too broke up over his wife's rotting corpse status.
Karen on the other hand, is full of hope. She has Gary help her drag a very heavy locked foot locker in from the garage (at great peril) to see if her zombified hubby can remember the combination - thus proving that he's still Joe inside his ghoulish exterior. During the course of the 75 minute show, revelations about the relationships between the four surface, including some predictable surprises. The show does maintain its hopeless, 'what's-the-point-of-living-anyway?' feel throughout the show, and has some pretty scary moments, particularly towards the end when the impending doom really starts to creep in. I asked my friend after the show what she thought. "It kind of reminds me of what I think hell would be like," she said. And that might be the best assessment. If you can't get enough of the undead, this show is worth a visit.

Baking Bites for Craftsy: How to Roast Garlic
Roasted garlic is my favorite way to eat garlic. While garlic has a strong, sharp flavor while it is raw, it also contains many natural sugars that can caramelize when exposed to eat.

Bicycle Program: Bike Boxes
Seattle launches new bicycle safety improvement
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will be implementing the first bike box at E Pine Street eastbound at 12th Avenue. Several other locations will be installed this fall including E Madison Street eastbound and westbound at 12th Avenue as part of the new E Union Street bike facilities and 7th Avenue S northbound at S Dearborn Street . The aim of these new measures is to encourage more cycling by creating a safer, more comfortable road environment.
What is a bike box? The bike box is an intersection safety design to prevent bicycle/car collisions. It is a painted green space on the road with a white bicycle symbol inside. In some locations it includes a green bicycle lane approaching the box. The box creates space between motor vehicles and the crosswalk that allows bicyclists to position themselves ahead of motor vehicle traffic at an intersection.
Why are bike boxes being installed? The main goal of the bike box is to improve safety by 1- increasing awareness and visibility of cyclists; 2- helping cyclists make safer intersection crossings - especially when drivers are turning right and bicyclists are going straight; 3 – encouraging cyclists to make more predictable approaches to and through an intersection; and 4 – providing space at the front of an intersection to help cyclists avoid breathing vehicle fumes.
What motorists should know
When the traffic signal is yellow or red, motorists mush stop behind the white stop line. Don't stop on top of the green bike box. Keep it clear for cyclists to use. Typically at bike box locations , right turns on red will not be permitted .
When the light turns green, motorists and cyclists may move through the intersection as usual, with cyclists going first. Motorists turning right on green should signal and watch for cyclists to the right, especially in the green bike lane in the intersection.
What bicyclists should know
When the traffic signal is yellow or red, enter the bike box from the approaching green bike lane. Stop before the crosswalk.
When the light is green, proceed as normal. Be aware of right-turning motorists, especially while in the green bike lane in the intersection.

Putting his recruit's honor, courage and commitment to the test, Waite faced the physically and mentally rigorous challenges packed into the 13 weeks of Marine Corps boot camp. The training was designed to enhance raw talent and to create the morale and discipline required of all Marines.
During recruit training, Waite joined others from across the country to undertake the quest to be among the world's military elite. He learned time-honored military customs and courtesies and mastered close-order drill. The demanding physical fitness regimen placed Waite in the best shape of his life. The training honed vital military skills such as marksmanship, first-aid, martial arts and leadership.
Following approximately 10 days of well-earned leave, Waite will attend school to learn his occupational specialty. Then Waite will report to his first duty station to gain further knowledge and experience serving with a Marine Corps unit.
Waite is a 2013 graduate of Rockford High School. He is the son of Jim and Colleen Waite, currently residing in Belmont. Waite was enlisted by Sgt. Cory A. Jeffers from the Marine Corps recruiting station in Grand Rapids, MI.

This isn't the first time that we've seen the HTC One X+ name used for a possible sequel to the HTC One X. Back in July, the GLBenchmark site showed a device called the HTC One X+ with speculation that a quad-core 1.7GHz Tegra 3 was under the hood. At the time, Android 4.0.4 was installed, but it would certainly make sense for the sequel to the HTC One X to be driven by Android 4.1.
With HTC's September 19th press event looming larger in the background, we could get some more information about this model. Whil no carrier was mentioned on the tweet, the HTC One X+ found on the GLBenchmark site had AT&T release keys, giving us a clue about where this model could end up in the States.

Broadcast Digital Awards 2016
The studs, femmes and muffins of The Black Lesbian Handbook go into battle…
So long and thanks for all the fish…
An extract from an article in Broadcast today. {courtesy of Broadcast}
Senior digital commissioners depart in C4 shake-up
Channel 4 commissioners Adam Gee and Jody Smith are to leave the broadcaster after more than a decade as part of a restructure at digital video service All 4.
The broadcaster is shaking up All 4's editorial team, scrapping genre commissioning in favour of recruiting an overarching executive who will be responsible for curating, acquiring and commissioning programming.
As a result, Gee and Smith's respective factual and entertainment multiplatform commissioning roles will close. It also follows the departure of shorts commissioner Isaac Densu, who left to join youth music brand SBTV in February after a year.
Around half of All 4's 15-strong editorial team of online producers are also understood to be at risk of redundancy as a result of the changes.
C4 offered a clue to its plans in late April when it advertised for a Collections commissioning editor to help with the "transformation" of All 4.
Digital departures
Gee and Smith, who are expected to leave over the summer, have worked at C4 for 13 and 10 years respectively.
Factual multiplatform commissioner Gee was responsible for Embarrassing Bodies' multiplatform output, Hugh's Fish Fight and music amnesty campaign Don't Stop The Music. He has collected an array of Bafta, RTS, Broadcast Digital and Emmy Awards.
He has commissioned over 25 short-form series since All 4 was established including My Pop Up Restaurant and Naked and Invisible, which has notched up over 6m YouTube views. He has also overseen digital shorts including Tattoo Twists, which led to E4 format Tattoo Fixers, and Drones In Forbidden Zones, the inspiration for C4's Hidden Britain By Drone.
"I have loved every minute at Channel 4 and couldn't respect its values more," said Gee. "It has been a pleasure and a privilege to help establish Channel 4 as the world leader in TV-centred multiplatform; to set up and run the innovative and impactful IdeasFactory creative talent scheme when I first arrived; and most recently to get the channel's short-form originals offer up and running with a distinctly C4 voice."
Davidson-Houston thanked the pair for their "huge contributions to Channel 4's reputation for innovation" in a note to staff. "They have boldly gone where no one has gone before," he added.
The broadcaster will be looking to build on strong foundations. After launching All 4 around 12 months ago, digital revenues have rocketed to £82m, up 30% from 2014's figure of £63m.
The Black Lesbian Handbook nominated
The Black Lesbian Handbook was nominated today for the new Best Non-Scripted Online Short category in the Broadcast Digital Awards. It is up against David Attenborough, BBC3 and Vice. Winner announced at the end of June. It is the only All 4 original show nominated. A good one to go out on regarding me, Channel 4 and awards.
I got a particular kick when the series was nominated at the Banff Rocky Awards recently (Digital Unscripted Series category). The shortlist read:
- Cosmos
- I Was There: Boston Marathon Bombings
- Secrets of the Vikings
- The Black Lesbian Handbook
I believe they call that bathos.
- (especially in a literary work) an effect of anticlimax created by an unintentional lapse in mood from the sublime to the trivial or ridiculous.
Oh Shit I'm 30!
Here's a lovely little trail from Spirit Digital:
And here's the evolution of the title:
Which just goes to show, titles matter…
And here's the whole series for your viewing pleasure
Naked & Invisible
The trail for my recent Channel 4 commission Naked & Invisible was launched on Facebook yesterday – 1M views on day one, 2.7M and growing on day two. Commissioned from Showem Entertainment and featuring body painting double world champion Carolyn Roper.
Update 15.iv.16
Now up to 5.8M views with a reach of over 15M – a record for Channel 4, E4 and All 4 on Facebook
Oh Shit I'm 30!
My latest commission to go live on All 4, as reported in Broadcast.
All 4 signs up YouTube's Emily Hartridge
YouTube star Emily Hartridge is to create a series about the pressures of turning 30 for All 4. Channel 4's multiplatform video service has ordered six episodes of Oh S**t, I'm 30! from producer Spirit Media. The series will explore the pressures of hitting the landmark, with each episode tackling a different subject including work/life balance, aging and exploring your sexuality in your 30s.
The show was ordered by multiplatform commissioning editor Adam Gee. Executive producer Matt Campion said a life panic is "something everyone can relate to" on a milestone birthday. "It's a very real issue that Gen Y are having their life crisis much younger and are faced with the big questions about whether their lives have turned out as they envisaged," he added. "This series sees Emily light-heartedly experience these very real dreams and fears and bring them to the small screen."
Hartridge, who recently turned 30, hosted Virgin Media's The Snap on YouTube after creating her own weekly show "10 Reasons Why…", which drew over 3 million viewers a month.

Watching Peep Show, keep getting ads for "The Black Lesbian Handbook" the most Channel 4 show imaginable.
DANNII @MissDannitweets 9 Dec 2015
The black lesbian handbook docs on channel 4 is so fascinating!
The Black Lesbian Handbook
This is a documentary project I'm really proud of. I recently commissioned the 2nd series this time set in Atlanta, Georgia but featuring some of the people who appeared in the London-based 1st series.
Channel 4 has really got behind it promotion-wise and it's doing really well, finding a significant audience on All 4.
What's particularly pleasing is the warm reception online like these:
The films were directed by Andy Mundy-Castle and produced by Rukhsana Mosam at Ten66 in Sussex.
My Pop-up Restaurant
Here's a brand-funded short form series I've been working on recently.
Article by Matthew Campelli courtesy of Broadcast.
Samsung sponsors All 4 supper club format
Atomized Entertainment is to produce an ad-funded pop-up restaurant format for Channel 4's digital service.
My Pop-up Restaurant, funded by Samsung Home Appliances, follows six aspirational cooks as they start supper clubs.
Radio 1 DJ Alice Levine and presenter Laura Jackson will keep tabs on the progress of the cooks as they attempt to kick start culinary careers.
The six-part series will launch as part of All 4's Shorts service in November and was ordered by multiplatform commissioning editor Adam Gee.
Atomized chief executive Zad Rodgers said: "Supper clubs and pop-up restaurants are the latest expression of Britain's entrepreneurial passion".
Atomized has previously worked with British Gas on ad-funded online series Home Truths last summer.
The show forms part of a seven-figure, year-long deal C4 agreed with Samsung in March.

Melky Cabrera Ineligible for Batting Title; McCutchen the Leader
According to CSNBayArea.com, San Francisco Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera has been ruled ineligible for the batting title. Cabrera is currently the leader in the race, but his suspension for performance enhancing drugs has surrounded the potential award with controversy.
Cabrera requested to be removed from the race, and MLB and the Player's Union complied in a one time agreement. Cabrera was one plate appearance shy of qualifying for the award, but under rule 10.22(a), he would have been given a hitless at-bat to make up for the lost plate appearance. Cabrera turned down the at-bat, and MLB made a one time change to the rule to make Cabrera ineligible.
This makes Andrew McCutchen (.339) the current leader in the race, with Buster Posey (.335) challenging. The batting title now look...

"So you want to leave us, Lyda?" Counselor Todd asked.
"It's been eight months," I said. "I think it's about time, don't you?"
Dr. Gloria shook her head, then made a note on her clipboard.
The three of us — Todd, Dr. Gloria, and I — sat in Todd's closet-sized office in the NAT ward. Three chairs, a pressed wood coffee table, and no windows. Todd leaned back in his chair, flicking his smart pen: snick and the screen opened like a fan; clack and it rolled up again. The file on the screen appeared and disappeared too fast to read, but I could guess what document it was.
Todd liked to portray himself as a man of the people. A white man who favored work shirts that had never seen a day of work and work boots that had never touched mud. This in contrast to Dr. Gloria, who occupied the seat to his right. She believed in the traditional uniform of doctors: white coat, charcoal pencil skirt, femme heels that weren't so high as to be impractical. Her nondigital clipboard and Hot Librarian glasses were signature props. I did not want her in this meeting, but neither Todd nor I had the power to keep her out.
"Lyda," Todd said in a knowing tone. "Does your desire to leave now have anything to do with Francine's death?"
Francine was the girl who had killed herself with Todd's mug. I presented my I'm-not-quite- following-you frown.
"The transfer request was placed two weeks ago, on the day after she died," Todd said. "You seemed upset by her death."
"I barely knew her."
"You broke furniture," he said.
"It was a plastic chair," I said. "It already had a crack in it."
"Don't quibble," Dr. Gloria said. "It's the display of anger he's worried about."
"I was mad at you doctors," I said. "I told you to put her on antidepressants —"
"Which we did," Todd said.
"Too Goddamn late. Jesus, her symptoms were obvious. I couldn't believe no one had taken steps. Her parents should be suing the hospital's ass off right now."
"We haven't been able to find them," he said.
"Perfect. Homeless orphans can't sue either."
Dr. Gloria put down her clipboard. "Insulting everyone who works here isn't going to help you."
"I'm sorry," I said. "It's just — she was so young."
"I know," Counselor Todd said. He sounded suddenly tired. "I tried to talk to her."
Todd could be an idiot, but he did care about the patients. And as the only full-time counselor on the ward, he worked essentially alone. The neuro-atypical ward was a lab for the hardcore cog-sci docs, the neuropsych researchers. They didn't much care for talk therapy, or for talking therapists like Todd.
So as Todd became more isolated, he couldn't help but grow attached to the people he spent the most time with: The patients had become, without him realizing it, his cohort, his troop. I knew that my degrees intimidated him. He suspected that because of my résumé I was more aligned with the neuropsych folks — which was true. But my highfalutin background also made him secretly desire my approval. Sometimes I used my power to get the lab to do the right thing for the patients, but I wasn't above using it to get myself out of here.
Todd did his best to pull himself back to counselor mode. "Were you disturbed by Francine's symptoms?"
"How so?"
"They were so similar to your own. The religious nature of her hallucinations —"
"A lot of schizos have religious delusions."
"She wasn't schizophrenic, at least not naturally. We believe she'd been taking a designer drug."
"Which one?"
"We haven't figured that out yet. But I was struck by the way she talked about God as a physical presence. That was how you used to speak about your angel."
Dr. Gloria looked at me over her glasses. This was her favorite topic. I stopped myself from glaring at her.
"I've been symptom free for months," I said to Todd. "No angels. No voices in my head. I didn't think the antipsychotics you prescribed would work, honestly. My hallucination's been so persistent, so long, that ..." I shrugged. "But you were right, and I was wrong. I'm not too proud to admit that."
"I thought they were worth a try," he said. "When you showed up here, you were in a pretty bad place. Not just your injuries."
"Oh no," I said, agreeing with him. "It was everything. I was fucked up." I'd been sentenced to the NAT after creating my own drive-thru at a convenience store. I swerved off the road at 60 KPH and plowed through the wall at three in the afternoon. My front bumper crushed a woman's leg and sent another man flying, but nobody was killed. The owner told a reporter that "somebody up there was watching out for them."
God gets the easiest performance reviews.
I said, "I feel like I've finally gotten a handle on my problems."
I glanced up. I'd delivered this statement with all the sincerity I could muster. Todd seemed to be taking it in. Then he said, "Have you been thinking about your wife?"
A question as subtle as a crowbar. Counselor Todd trying to pop me open.
Dr. G said, "He noticed that you're touching your ring."
I glanced down. The wedding band was polished brass, six-sided on the outside. A friend of ours had forged a matching pair for us.
I placed my hands on the arms of my chair. "I think of her every day," I said. "But not obsessively. She's my wife. I miss her."
Perhaps this struck him as an odd thing to say about a woman who had tried to kill me. Instead he said, "It's interesting that you use the present tense."
"She has been dead almost ten years," Dr. Gloria said.
"I don't believe that there's a time limit on love or grief," I said. A paraphrase of something Counselor Todd had told me very earnestly in my first month on the ward. I was detoxing then, vulnerable and wide open, sucking in Todd's bromides as if they were profound truths. When you can't get the heroin, take the methadone.
"And your child?" he asked.
I sat back, my heart suddenly beating hard. "Are you working through a checklist there?"
"You're sounding angry again," Dr. Gloria said.
Todd said, "You mentioned her only once in our therapy sessions, but according to your file ..."
If he flicked open that damn pen I was going to leap across the table at him.
"I don't have a child," I said.
Dr. Gloria looked over her glasses at me, the Medical Professional version of an eye roll.
"Anymore," I said.
Todd pursed his lips, signaling disappointment. "I'm sorry, Lyda, I just can't sign off on this. I think you're trying to get out of here so you can score, and you still haven't addressed some key issues in —"
"I'll take the chip."
He looked up at me, surprised.
"The terms of my sentence give me the option," I said. "All you have to do is sign. You know I've been a model patient."
"But you're almost done here. Two more months and you're out. If you go on the chip, that's a mandatory year of tracking. You won't be able to leave the province without permission."
"I understand that."
He gave me a long look. "You know they can't be spoofed, yes? Not like the old chips. Your blood alcohol levels will be sent to us every ten seconds. Anything stronger than aspirin throws up a red flag. And any use of a controlled substance, other than those prescribed to you, gets immediately reported to the police."
"Any drug can and will be used against me," I said. "Got it."
"Good. Because the last time I brought up the chip, you told me I could shove it up my ass."
"Well, it is very small."
He suppressed a smile. Todd enjoyed being joked with. Made him feel part of the troop. And as the least insane person on the floor (if I said so myself), I was the person he could most easily talk to. The only question was, would he be insecure enough to keep me here, just so we didn't have to — sob — break up?
Time to seal the deal. I looked at my feet, feigning embarrassment. "I know this may not be technically allowed after I leave, but ..."
"This room is a safe place to say anything," Todd said.
I looked up. "I'd like to keep in touch with you. If that's all right."
"I'm sure that would be fine," Todd said. "If I sign on for this." But of course he had already made up his mind.
* * *
The NAT ward was small, a population of twenty-five to forty, depending on the season. News traveled the floor with telepathic speed. Two of the residents believed they were telepathic, so who knows.
I was packing when Ollie appeared in my room. Five foot two, hair falling across her face. Quiet as a closed door. And like everyone on the ward, Severely Fucked in the Head.
She stared into the room, eyes pointed in my direction. Trying to work out the puzzle. That stack of shapes probably belonged to one thing, those horizontal shapes to something else. Once sorted, labels could be applied: bed, wall, duffel bag, human being.
To help her out I said, "Hi, Ollie."
Her face changed — that slight shift of recognition as she assigned the label "Lyda" to an arrangement of red hair and dark clothes — then went still again. She was angry. I'd made a mistake by not telling her I was leaving. Not as big a mistake as sleeping with her, but enough.
At last she said, "Can I see it?"
"Sure," I said. Ollie concentrated on the changes in the scene: The object that swung toward her in her visual field must be, logically, my arm. From there she found my wrist, and slid a finger along my forearm. Tactile information integrated more easily than the visual. She peeled back the Band-Aid, pressed the tiny pink bump. She was as unself-conscious with my body as with her own.
"So small," she said.
"My new portable conscience," I said. "Like I needed another one."
Her fingers lingered on my skin, then fell away. "You're going to look for that dead girl's dealer."
I didn't try to deny it. Even on meds Ollie was the smartest person I'd ever met, after Mikala.
She closed her eyes, cutting out the visual distraction. She looked like a little girl. Told me once that her Filipino mother was 4'10", her white Minnesota father over six feet, and she was still waiting for those Norwegian genes to kick in.
"You can't know that it's the same drug that hit you," she said without opening her eyes. "There are thousands of countertop tweakers out there. Somebody just happened to whip up something with the same symptoms."
The glories of the DIY smart drug revolution. Any high school student with a chemjet and an internet connection could download recipes and print small-batch drugs. The creative types liked to fuck with the recipes, try them out on their friends. People swallowed paper all the time without knowing what they were chewing. Half the residents of the NAT ward weren't addicts; they were beta testers.
"You're right," I said flatly. "It's probably not the same drug at all."
She opened her eyes. Now seeing right through me. "I can help you," she said.
There was a certainty in her voice. Ollie used to do things for the US government, and the US government used to do things to Ollie.
"I don't think they're going to let you walk out of here," I said. Ollie was not one of the voluntary patients. Like me, she'd been convicted of a crime, then sent here because the docs thought she was an interesting case. "Just stay here," I said. "And heal."
Heal. That was a NAT joke.
She said, "I can be out of here in two —"
"Nurse," I said in a low voice, warning her. We residents did this a lot on the ward, like kids playing in the street calling "car."
"Seconds," Ollie finished.
Dr. Gloria and one of the day-shift nurses walked toward the room. "Ready?" the nurse asked me.
Dr. G looked at Ollie, then back toward me, a knowing smile on her face. "If you're all done here," she said.
I picked up my bag. "I've got to go," I said to Ollie. I touched her shoulder on the way out. This is me, the touch told her. This is me moving away from you.
"She's in love with you, you know," Dr. G said.
"Hospital infatuation," I said.
We stood on the sidewalk outside the hospital, waiting for my ride under a gray sky leaking sunlight. Dirty snow banked the sidewalk, peppered with black deicer pellets. Behind us, staff and visitors passed in and out of the revolving doors like ions through a membrane.
I folded up the plastic bag that contained my prescription and jammed my hands into the pockets of my thin jacket. It had been early fall when I went in, and my street clothes had failed to evolve while in storage. But I was not about to go back inside that building, even to stay warm. I was a free woman — tethered only by the plastic snitch attached to my vein, broadcasting each taste of my bloodstream to the ether.
Dr. G had followed me out. "You'd be better off staying with her and finishing your sentence inside," she said. "Less temptation. You were staying clean, Lyda."
"Edo's making NME One-Ten."
"You don't know that."
"All Francine could talk about was 'the Numinous.' That is no fucking coincidence. Edo broke his promise."
"He never made that promise," she said.
"Yeah, well, I made a promise to him."
"Listen to yourself," Dr. Gloria said. "You're pissed off. Have you considered that you're overreacting to the girl's death? You have a blind spot for little lost girls."
"Fuck off."
"Lyda —"
"I'm responsible for the drug that killed her."
"Even if the substance is the One-Ten, which is doubtful, that doesn't mean that it's Edo Vik."
"Then I guess I have to find out who is making it."
A car pulled up to the curb, a decrepit Nissan hybrid. The cost of the gas had to be enormous. The driver jumped out of the car, ran to me with arms out. "Lyda!"
Bobby was a could-have-been-handsome white boy, twenty-three years old, with stiff black hair and almond eyes, so maybe a little Asian in the mix. A former ward-mate, and batshit crazy. But a good kid. More importantly, he lived in Toronto, and he owned a car.
I let him hug me. The price to pay for the ride.
"You look all healthy," he said. Hanging from a leather thong around his neck was a small plastic treasure chest, one of those aquarium accessories with Real Working Hinge. He never went anywhere without it.
"Where are we going?" he asked me.
"Take me to my dealer."
He blinked in surprise. "Uh, are you sure?"
"Relax. I just want to talk to him."
"You just got out of the ward. Don't you want to go home?"
"I don't have a home. That apartment is long gone."
"Oh, then maybe a hotel?"
"I'm getting cold out here, Bobby."
He opened the passenger door for me, then hustled around to the other side.
Dr. Gloria said, "I can't protect you if you don't listen to me."
"Then stay here."
"Oh, you don't get away that easy." Dr. Gloria's wings unfurled from her back with a snap, and the world vanished in a blaze of heavenly radiance. I winced and looked away.
"Lo, I am with you always," she said. I opened one eye. She pulsed like a migraine aura, throwing off megawatts of holy glow. Then her wings convulsed, and she was airborne.
We rode into Toronto on the 401 with Dr. Gloria flying point: a star to guide us. Bobby couldn't see her, of course. The doctor was my permanent hallucination, a standing wave thrown up by my temporal lobe and supported by various other members of my mental parliament. My supernatural companion was a fake, but unlike Francine, I knew it.
We left the highway and dropped south toward the lake. I rolled down the window, and cold wind filled the car.
"What are you doing?" Bobby asked.
I tossed out the bag containing my prescription bottles. "Ballast," I said.
"Eyes on the road, kid." He slowed as we entered the university campus. It was a Wednesday, the start of the college weekend, so Brandy, my old dealer, would be working the frats. We cruised past Victorian houses lit up and vibrating with heavy bass. College boys in shorts stood outside, ankle deep in the snow. Girls in microdresses teetered on high heels across the icy sidewalks. Bobby drove slow, one hand on the treasure chest and the other on the wheel, while I kept an eye out for Brandy's vehicle, a beat-up VW delivery van. Twice we jerked to a stop as drunken kids lurched into the street.

Library Journal Reviews
In the near future, designer drugs can be produced by anyone with a chemjet printer. As the lead developer of a drug called Numinous, Lyda Rose knows the dangers of these new pharmaceuticals firsthand. Numinous was supposed to cure schizophrenia but instead caused uncontrollable visions taking the form of a very real, very personal manifestation of God. The hallucinations meant the drug was too dangerous to develop and also put Lyda in a mental hospital. When a girl on the ward with Lyda shows every sign of having taken Numinous, Lyda and her paranoid and usefully dangerous lover Olivia break out of the hospital to find and stop the other creators of the drugs. The tension grows as they get closer to the secret of who is producing Numinous, with the stakes made more real because of the amazing characters of Lyda and Olivia. VERDICT International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts (IAFA) William L. Crawford Fantasy Award winner Gregory (Pandemonium; Raising Stony Mayhall) takes on the pharmaceutical industry, drug dealers, religion, and the intricacies of how our brains work. The way the author combines the energy of a thriller with the ideas of sf is reminiscent of William Gibson's best one-step-into-the-future novels like Pattern Recognition.

I remember that day, the memory is so clear that it seems like it was just yesterday. I remember where I was, I remember the worry for the future of our country, I remember the fear… I had just been married only a month before the attack, the full scope of the event didn't resinate with me until I was home and Tiffany asked if they would start the draft and if they did would I have to go? I wasn't sure, the thought of it struck a new fear in me. Not that I didn't want to serve my country, because I would! It was just so unexpected, after all I had just gotten married.
They didn't draft anyone and I never joined the service. Some days I regret that I didn't, never the less I am so grateful for the men and women that did! I'm sure that for some of them that the fear was even greater than what I felt at the time. I know that some of them had just been married, or had children, and yet they were so willing to go and protect our country, our freedom, our lives as American citizens! That day changed the lives of all of us but I still believe that we live in a great country, regardless of our economy, politics that no one can seem to agree on, or the annoying airport security, this is still the United States of America we are all blessed to live here! Thank you, to all the solders and to all who protect here at home… God bless America!

Odd Phobias, or Not?
I'm going to go out on a very short limb and predict (postdict?) that this slide was prepared by a woman. And not just any woman, mind you, but one who doesn't watch SNL.

If there's one thing worse than winning second place in a beauty contest, is placing fourth ugly pageant. TotalBeauty.com compiles statistics on education, exercise habits, smoking rates, sales of contraceptives, etc. and concludes there is less sex going on there than in any other city except Miami (!), Hagerstown, MD, and El Paso. This methodology is questionable. For one thing, some contraceptive purchases are unduly optimistic. For another, controlling for contraceptive purchases but not birth and abortion rates only indicates the rate of "safe" sex going on, not necessarily the rate of any kind of sex. Maybe Greensboro residents are less likely to take precautions? Or maybe they take silly "precautions" like Glenn Reynolds's infamous "pull-out" method, which allegedly works just as well as the "use a broken condom" method but is significantly less effective than the "don't stick it in there in the first place" method TotalBeauty assumes everyone is using instead. Similar problems may exist with Greensboro's "bad teeth" rating; does fewer visits to the dentist really mean the teeth are worse, or coudl it mean they are healthier and fewer visits to the dentist are needed? And how do smoking rates tell us anything about nookie? It's not as though we have some way of tracking which individual cigarettes are smoked after sex and which ones prevent sex from occurring in the first place by making the smoker smell like an ashtray.
And last but by no means least, how on earth do they reach the conclusion that "no sex generally equals less hot guys?" Are they suggesting that only men make up the obesity, smoking, bad teeth rates, etc., or that men find these traits attractive (or at least neutral) in women? Or do they think women will only do hot guys, while men will [censored] anything that moves? If anything, I think the opposite is true, looks-wise. I see ugly guys with hot women every day. When was the last time you saw the reverse? While TotalBeauty may claim to be "trusted" by 12 million women, one wonders whether such trust may be misplaced. After all, if their metrics really do measure ugliness effectively, but the ugliness ratio applies to both sexes equally, a high ugliness rate should not deter a reasonably attractive, non-uglyphilic member of either sex from seeking love in Greensboro. All it means is you won't find as many attractive individuals to chase, but you'll also face that much less competition over the attractive individuals you do find. In other words, a wash.
This is the point in the post where I would normally toss in a snarky remarky about Winston-Salem not being in Greensboro (even if Sitemeter can't tell the difference), but author of the article has done it for me:
Winston-Salem got by unscathed, either because we're so much lovelier on this side of the county line or because folks in Santa Monica, Calif., (where TotalBeauty's editorial board is based, near as we can tell) don't realize there's more than one city in North Carolina.
Want to burglarize a store without having to set foot in it yourself? No problem, just train a monkey to do your dirty work for you.
Not sure there's a right place for convicted cannibals, but if there is one, it sure as hell ain't the same village where you got in trouble the first time.
Courtesy of Facebook (when it works), Kelly Hildebrandt will soon be marrying either his or her namesake.
Stopped for a bite during a layover at ATL, and ordered a Sweetwater and a cheeseburger. The waitress asked me if I wanted bacon or onions on the cheeseburger and I said yes, I'd like bacon on it. Her response? "Then I'll need to see your ID."
In a battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court, William Junge of Las Vegas was finally allowed to keep his license plate for his Tahoe that reads "hoe," a term the Nevada DMV considered offensive due to its farming connotations. Either that, or they objected to the term on the grounds that it was false and misleading, as the Tahoe in question was not, in fact, manufactured anywhere near Lake Tahoe. Or maybe it was over the term's imilarity to "ho," a profession that is legal in most of the state but not in Mr. Junge's home county of Clark. Or maybe it just reminds people of Don Imus, which I must admit is pretty grounds for banning just about anything. I don't know. All I know is that if this case had gone any other way, I'd be trying even harder than I currently am (read: actually trying) to score one of those nifty plates that have made my state famous:
Close, anyway.
If a German surgeon ever pisses you off, don't rip him a new one or he just might return the favor.
Ladies, if rude, obnoxious men who hoot, holler and grab their crotches remind you of some other, less evolved species of primates, you may be on to something.

The studio is placed in a traditional Cretan Olive grove in Karteros. Karteros has to offer unique landscape, just outside of Heraklion city. You can visit all the museums and antiquities, return home to relax, and just walk to the beach. Or you can indulge yourselves to exploring the nearby Gorge, or relax at night and have a BBQ. Listening only the night.
Easily access, 5 minutes from the airport, 10 from heraklion port, practically next to national road entry exit to Chania and Lasithi (west and east crete). Numerous beaches all around. We live in a house just above the studio, having a large garden to separate us, with fence. Therefore you maintain your privacy and comfort, yet we are there if you need anything, to help or provide (from advice or a cup of coffee)
The quiet and tranquility is the factor that makes Karteros unique. Plus if you want noise and action you are a short drive from it (Heraklion 7 minutes drive, Hersonissos 15 min. drive, Malia 20 minutes drive etc.). Lots of nice sandy beaches, with sun beds and umbrellas are all around, to enjoy the sea with children or without.
Public transport is close by (the bus stop is 20 meters away) and there is twice a day a bus passing. The area is not of heavy traffic rather scarce traffic therefore no frequent public transport, yet there is one if this helps. We strongly suggest to rent a car to enjoy the island to maximum.

Very clean and comfortable Appartement, with a Nice view! Reachable by Bus or Taxi (in the evening there is no Bus). Good wifi! We had everything we needed. Alex was very kind.
Calling this studio "luxury" it is ridicolous. It is a country box trasformed in a studio, air conditioning ma no possibility to open the only one window, no washbowl to refresh a t-shirt or a bathing suit, one small pan but no cover and in general very few care of the guest.
I didn't see the owner at all, he didn't care to give me any information (for ex. how to get warm water) or to match someone of my needs.
Above all a person that presents himself very well by email but totally not interested when you stay there.
The studio values how you pay, maybe less, no euro more.

nice hotel not so nice area
The hotel was very nice and had friendly staff who would help if we had a problem and ordered us a taxi to Gare du Nord which only cost €20.
The pool and other facilities were great, we did not eat breakfast at the hotel as it was cheaper to get something when we were out. The location of the hotel was a 10 min walk from the metro and had a supermarket on route and a cash point across the road from the hotel. However I didn't always feel safe walking to the metro and back. There was no kettle in the room which was an issue for me as I drink tea. Overall it was a nice stay and didn't cost that much so you get what you pay for.

Cross Country To Compete In Virginia/Panorama Farms Invite
Sept. 21, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Following second place finishes by both the men's and women's teams to start the season at the Belmont Opener, the University of Kentucky men's and women's cross country teams will return to action Saturday at the Virginia/Panorama Farms Invitational in Earlysville, Va.
The women will hit the course first with a 5K race at 10:00 a.m. ET, followed by the men's 8K event at 10:30 a.m. The men's field features No. 22 Arkansas, California, Duke, Howard, Kentucky, No. 21 Michigan, Norfolk Sate, No. 4 Oklahoma, VCU, and Virginia. The eight-team women's field is made up of California, Howard, Kentucky, Liberty, Norfolk State, VCU, No. 15 Virginia and Wisconsin.
Senior Luis Orta starred in the Wildcats opening competition, claiming another victory in his cross country career and finishing the 5K event in 15:16.70. Orta's first-place finish marked a third consecutive year that Orta has won the opening meet for the Wildcats, winning the Belmont-VU Opener in 2011 after winning the San Francisco Invitational to open the 2010 season.
With top-three finishes from Cally Macumber and Chelsea Oswald, the women finished just one point off first with 34 points at the Belmont Opener. Macumber's second-place finish came in at 14:11.10, while Oswald finished in third after finishing the 4K event in 14:25.60.
In 2011, led by Orta's fifth-place finish, the Kentucky men's team earned a fourth-place finish with 119 points at the Virginia/Panorama Farms Invitational. The women's team finished seventh last season, with Megan Broderick, Anna Bostrom and Taylor Wendler all earning top-30 finishes
The women's team enters their second event of the year ranked as the No. 7 team in the Southeast Region by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association while the men come in at 15th in the Southeast Region.
Following the Virginia/Panorama Farms Invitational, Kentucky will compete in two events in Louisville, Ky., to finish up the regular season. The Wildcats will compete in the Greater Louisville Classic on Sept. 29, before competing in Pre-Nationals on Oct. 13.

USS SAN ANTONIO, At Sea – Since the arrival of 2nd Tank Battalion Marines and their M1A1 Abrams tanks aboard the USS San Antonio, Feb. 1, Marines have been utilizing their time on ship to maintain their combat effectiveness.
Sgt. John Ramson, a platoon sergeant with Delta Company, 2nd Tank Battalion, has found ways to keep his Marines engaged and ready for any operational commitment.
"While aboard, we have been conducting gunnery work ups, which are required to keep the Marines' skills sharp when it is time for gunnery skills test, which is a semi-annual certification test," explained Ramson.
"The training is focused on training whole crews and individual Marines," continued the Rice Lake, Wis., native.
When they aren't conducting preemptive unloading drills with Combat Logistics Regiment 25, the Marines of 2nd Tanks can be found in the upper vehicle deck mastering their weapon systems.
"Usually you'll find the Marines on the vehicle deck with their weapons out cleaning, assembling and disassembling them, or they're in the berthings giving classes on tank operations and Exercise Bold Alligator 2012," said Cpl. Christopher Garcia, an M88 Recovery Vehicle driver and Orlando, Fla., native.
In addition to the various classes and training session, Marine have also kept up with their physical fitness requirements and diets while at sea.
"A lot of us go to one of the various gyms on the ship and work out," Garcia explained.
Whether on land or sea, the training never ceases for the 2nd Tanks Marines who continue to aim to keep all of their Marines certified and to seek self improvement to better their skills as tankers.
